First first half action. Kenna Marino with a goal. Carolinaich with two goals. Matt Whitler the goal. Addy Jordan with five. And Calibri with one as he saw out. Nice pass by M by Addie Jordan gets the ball to Matt Whitmer. And Mac Whitmer goes upper 90 over the goalie shoulder. And I lied. Mack now has two goals on the game. She's not wasting any time this half. She's waiting one more. And Mac will be at Magic number 50 on this season. East Lo currently has a fivegame win streak against Alawam outscoring them 85-9 during that span. East Law Meadow is six wins and 25 losses all time against the Browns, scoring 249 goals and giving up 436. That's East Salo scoring 34% of their all-time goals in just the last five games against the Brownies. So, the Browns have pretty much owned East Saw Meadow the last 12 years.
I don't recall doing anything about that yet. This just says projected transfer. Yeah. Right. We're trying to if I could I be heard please. just trying to wait um to see as much as we can um for the for the final transfer for the food service shortage. That's what PAL is projecting at this point in time. And then the which is what Chris is talking about. And then the remaining monies are what we are anticipating uh maybe remaining um at the end. And like Ashley said, we've had a lot of things go wrong this year. So to leave us with zero, I don't think would be prudent. So, the actual amounts of the transfer to cover the food shortage, we'll we'll address that at our June meeting. Is that the correct? Any other questions on the finance? Say special ed landscape. Okay. But obviously from a a town finance standpoint, it's going to be a very busy season.
Each of you has a copy of our quarter 3 counseling report, which I encourage you to read fully at your convenience. But for now, I'd like to walk you through a few key highlights that show what happens when counselors are empowered to work systemically. Um, to begin with, one of our biggest systemwide successes was our financial aid completion, which you've heard for like the last four months as I've been up here. But at this point, districtwide, our FAFSA, California Dream Act completion stands at 73%. well above the state and county averages. As you can see on the report, the success didn't happen overnight. It's the result of early intentional outreach, strong follow-up systems, family engagement, and our community partnerships. And it's not just about um checking a box for us, but it's also about ensuring access. Our student groups, as you can see, are completing at high rates, and half of the groups are meeting or exceeding the state average.
as her sister Aaron did the same thing. We have known Hannah since her elementary years. I have known Hannah. Many of us have since her elementary years. And she has graciously graciously served for many years on the Granite Hills High School Superintendent Advisory Council. A fun fact about Hannah is that she has been a student in Apple Valley since preschool where she was in Mrs. Schneider's class. Mrs. Schneider still teaches preschool for us at Ranchovery Elementary School. She attended both Rancho Phoenix and Granite Hills High School. At Granite Hills High School, she's been involved in ASB, Mock Trial, 5.24 Christian Club, and the school site council. I have enjoyed watching her in plays and musicals, and I'm sure she will continue to represent Granite Hills High School and Apple Valley Unified School District as she moves into this next chapter. Hannah plans to attend UC Riverside in the fall.
As we adapt to the future, we must respond to change with intention and not fear. We also need to respond with a sense of urgency. As we and the board engage in upcoming planning, strategic discussions, and possible reconfigurations, we need to do so grounded in our shared mission, which is studentbased and student- centered decision-making, academic excellence, and equity. Those don't have to just be buzzwords. Those could be our pathway. So to all the leaders and educators who signed their contracts and are coming back, thank you for your continued commitment to ASDB and offering more of your 90,000 career hours, helping us help our students. Remember that we are here to provide the best education and services. What that looks like may change, but why we do it never should. If all of us, including the community and the board, remain true to our vision and remain true to being a team, we will not only adapt to these upcoming changes, but we could possibly lead these changes.
Uh congratulations to the admin team who did a fantastic job uh planning for that event. Uh it was a great evening full of celebrations and congratulations to the senior class who they're just I think they're at about $8 million in scholarship money uh as of today and and those are still uh coming in. Uh and as we mentioned uh looking forward to visiting Morirana High School next week to to enjoy their celebration. And finally, I want to recognize that we are in the middle kind of at the end of National Teacher Appreciation Week. I guess it's Thursday night. Um, but I want to take this opportunity to simply say thank you to our outstanding educators that are in the room, that are watching, and that are enjoying hopefully a restful evening uh, as we go down this this home stretch. Their continued dedication and tireless hard work do not go unnoticed.
Significant. Next, please. to answer the question about special education. It was a great question and the reason why we're asking for that $300,000 transfer is you can see the cost of special education out of district students. Students that that we've are not able to educate in our community. No matter what programs we've created, we might have students who have to be uh in school for the blind or school for the deaf. We don't have those types of programming. Well, they're costly because there's transportation involved. There's se schools that are residential sometimes. So, as you can see, our numbers have gone down, but the cost is up about 20%. So, private residential schools or private special education schools are not subject to that 2 and a half% tax base or rate increase that communities are uh you know um subject to. And I think the next slide might be it.
Basically what what we have is that there's now a deadline the deadline was extended uh by the state for comments um back to the state to May 28th. Um and uh Elro, do you are you able to bring up some of those documents that we could just look at it? Yes, I was just preparing this site plan and the architectural stuff. So, and we'll obviously have So, if we can I I think my I think my [Music] um I think my thing while we have Kate here is that we can maybe just get some initial comments that we can jot down, initial concerns that um that uh we'll try to for you know put together into a document for the next meeting. Kate won't be here, but um hopefully our other board members will be ready to go and can add their feedback in before we need to send it out on the on the 28th.
and saw me is uh teeing them up pretty good the last five games. Jenna Holly has been keeping the Brownies off the board with them only score averaging 1.8 goals per game in the last five games against the Spartans. I forgot my binder. Yeah, I I get all this. It's LCAT LCAT. They they uh Elcat donated a couple extra dollars into the budget this year for stats. So, of course, we had our leaky roof, so it doesn't matter. All the electrical in here, so that's a good thing. Hope everybody's life insurance policyy's up to date. Brown's with the ball. Spalding with the ball. Kenna meets her. She kicks the ball over Rosario. Ball bounces around. Jenna Holly ends up with the ball. Gets the ball over to Grace Howard. Grace Howard has plenty of room to take it as she will. She gets the ball over the restraining line.
So, um, all right. Now, on to PTA updates. So, on April, Saturday, April 25th, we had our ECS spring playing for swings fundraiser. Uh, I'm not quite sure the exact amount we have officially have raised yet. We're still working through all the fine details, but we did pretty well. Um and then we're gearing up for or finishing out teacher appreciation week tomorrow. We celebrated Monday they did a Cinco de Mayo taco theme for the teachers. Um this week we had Tom's traveling truck come in for coffee. We also did the very appreciated uh like Door Dash uh room service for the teachers as well again with snacks. They filled out a little like card and said this is what I want. And then all we on Tuesday we packed it all up. So, Wednesday, they had it delivered to them in the morning. And I guess I think that's how we're rounding out the year at this point and keep working towards the uh the funding for the new playground.
These groups include our English learners, our students with disabilities, our foster youth, first generation and low-income students, and students who initially opted out until a counselor re-engaged them in the process. And while we as a system look at the satellite data, it's personal for our students, and for many of our students, it's a turning point with a lifelong impact. And as one Anaheim High School senior said, "After my counselor encouraged me to complete the FAPSA, I changed my mind and decided to enroll in Fullerton College." If you turn to t page two of the report, so just turn it over, you'll see how our counselors are supporting mental and behavioral health in alignment with AB2508, which now recognizes school counselors in the mental and behavioral health area. This school year, counselors have submitted 6,438 medical billable entries, which is a 156% increase from last year.
She hopes to participate in their theater productions and possibly mock trial. In four years, we hope to welcome her back as an ABSD English teacher. Congratulations, Hannah. [Applause] Each of these amazing young women represent Apple Valley Unified School District values of dignity, community, authenticity, and service. I am so proud of each of them and thankful for their service to our community. Each year since I've been superintendent, I have put together a small token of appreciation for the work these students do at each board me meeting and in each each and every day within this community. Typically, there's swag from college or university or something tied to the field they are entering. However, this year I wanted to do something different. This year, I've included a gratitude journal. Every day has challenges and critics, but reflecting on what is right in our lives can center our thoughts and our actions.
In conclusion, I do want to thank as well Rosie Dea Cruz for being with us the last year. I've learned a lot from her and it's been a pleasure working with her. I also want to thank Jill Voit for leading PTSD the last two and a half years and jumping in to lead that school during a tough time. Jill has made the decision to return to the classroom where she can see firsthand every day the impact that she's making on students and I commend and appreciate that decision. So again, I I want to thank you both for your your service and your hard work. Thank you, Orin.
In each day, it's our teachers who pour their hearts and minds into providing remarkable opportunities uh through learning engaging learning environments, fostering growth and inspiring our students. So, thank you to our teachers for all that you do. Your dedication is not just shaping the future of our students, but it's shaping the future and it's strengthening our community. So, thank you. And this concludes my report. Thank you. Next item is item H, the consent agenda. I move that the governing board approve the consent agenda as presented. Is there I wish to pull an item. I like I would wish to pull item H11 the um Puma County Jed uh intergovernmental agreement. Perfect. I'm going to amend the motion. I move that the governing board Hold on. You can amend it only once because I want to pull item H6, the um the Mountain View High School uh trip degrees.
So revolving accounts, we talk about how are we spending the money that comes in school choice funding. So we have students who come into Ashlin who are school choice students. We take we can use those funds to help offset our budget. So as you can see, we're anticipating using $3.3 million of revolving accounts next year. school choice building rental circuit breaker is reimbursement for special education costs for students who are out of district. It's not a full reimbursement. It's a partial reimbursement. So, we got to be, you know, it's really complex. Uh, and I don't have time to explain it, but if you ever want to know, swing by my office and we can sit and talk. Uh, and our revenues are starting to decrease. School choice revenues. We had this number of years ago, we stopped adding school choice seats because our growth was significant here and we didn't have room.
Um so at least the next meeting is on the 22nd and we still have we'll still have the 28th to um to look at it a second time and maybe with with fresh sets of eyes, you know, from new members of the board. So, [Music] um the the few things so far that I was looking at with this um 4 DB is um well, one of the things is kind of the areas of snow storage and I'll know they'll go through that with um the zoning board of appeals, but they're putting a lot of the snow storage is then the little 10-ft setback um between the parking and and the property line. And I think that's 10 ft just isn't a whole lot of space, you know, especially if they're going to have plantings there, which I assume that they will. Um, we don't have that information yet.
Should keep just keep going with it. Gets the ball over to Leasich. Over to M. Whitler. Mac Whitler turns around, fires it. And it's a goal. M Whitler the goal. M Whitler with a hattick. Brownies Mac obviously had the first two assists in the game. Brownies are keeping M quiet momentarily until the uh third quarter where Mack quickly puts up a couple of uh goals on the board. Spartans now up 12 nothing. Eight minutes to go in the third quarter. Sabina Mckne and M Whit off the field and Mary Mary Devoy. It's Mary Lucy Parsons in the game and Mary Devoy. Mary Devoy and Hannah Eddie. Kylie Marino also off. ball bouncing around. Good work by Hannah Eddie to turn around and scoop the ball up to Jenna Holly. Good play by Hannah as Ken Marino gets the ball. Only one more. She gets the ball over the restraining line.
Thank you very much. I thought the event was really good. Um Darl, I think it was really nice that you came. So, that went a long way with a lot of people. Yes, we have three board members and one principal. All right. BHS student representative report. So last Friday, May 2nd, BHS hosted the junior senior prom at Louisa from 6:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. Students danced the night away and joined a delicious meal, fun drinks, and good company. A big thanks to the members of the prom committee for putting on such a fun event. Next Friday, May 16th, the student council will be hosting a fire pit night. for a $5 ticket. Students will be able to enjoy food and fun to celebrate the end of AP exams and nearing the end of the school year. Attendees will also be given a raffle ticket to participate in the drawing for four raffle baskets.
These billable services reflect direct one-on-one counseling services and small groupoup sessions related to mental health given by a school counselor. One standout example doing the work is Ball Junior High School who after running targeted small groups showed through post surveys given to students that there was a 50% increase in students who can name a stress management strategy that worked. 45% increase of students reported feeling less less anxious about life stressors. And while this is only one example of the power of school-based mental health intervention, it's also a clear reminder that we are not just academic counselors, but we are whole student counselors. Additionally, counselors are leading across all three tiers of student support. In tier one, our teams have delivered 3,457 classroom lessons on essential skills such as communication, motivation, time management, and college planning. In tier 2, we go a little bit smaller and we have over 31,000 small group and or one-on-one interventions in the academic, college, career, and social emotional domains for our students.
I hope it will inspire you to take a few minutes to focus on good and remember this quote. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. You three ladies are more than enough and you will make us proud in the future. Thank you. And I'm already so excited about next year. Well, Angelica isn't is new to me. Um, I have a very long-term um, knowledge about Jillian, Jilly and Effie. So, um, Angelica, I got to get to know you as well as I know these two, but looking forward to it. Welcome. I'm going to turn this over to Mr. Schlloer, I think. Um, are you okay? Here we go. Yep. We have a plan, but apparently, um, I'm going to be constrained by this. Uh, it's hard for me. This is such an exciting topic and I kind of want to jump around but I'll be stuck right here.
