Um, before you is the state land trust uh proposal, and I am available to answer any questions you have. Do you have any questions regarding the land trust for Albert? If not, I will take a motion. I have a motion and a second from um board member um Terry and board member Sienko. Um all those in favor of passing or accepting the trust, please say I. I. I I I opposed. Seeing none, motion carries. Thank you, Albert. Thank you. Okay, moving on to agenda item 7.1, information and discussion item, introduction and possible discussion of policies A AAA AC AA A D GB and J III. Maria Murphy, director of policy and government relations. Good afternoon, board president, members of the board, superintendent Reichman, assistant superintendent, ASDB staff, and ASDB community. You have before you the red lines that have been proposed. Uh I have not received any public comment in regards to that.
But you don't know for sure. No, I know there is because my son is doing I'm talking about this trip. Okay. Is there Is that it, Tom? That's it. Yeah. Is there any other questions? Nope. Okay. I'm going to do a roll call though, Gloria, if we could. Mr. Hul I. Miss Mcronis. I Mr. Alexander. I. Mr. Carlson. No. Miss. Raymond. Yes. Thank you. Next item is item I2 which is H11. Wait a minute. Are we going to discuss H11? Yes. Um it's I it's I2 because it gets thrown in unfinished but it's H11 theoretically. Um, that's now I believe Mr. Bolagoski, if you want to speak to it first, that'd be great. Yes, thank you. Uh, so every year we come to you uh with the IG looking for the renewal on the IG with uh our school district and um Puma Jed. And so yeah, I can answer any of your questions about this relationship or Perfect.
In fact, there were $1.18 million in personnel requests that we would not be able that we were not able to fund this year. um critical staffing shortages that we have throughout town. We have 209,000 in operational needs like equipment and services that we're not able to to use. And like I said, not able to fund, excuse me. And as I mentioned before, this is all still while using 2.7 million in one-time funds to help balance the budget. And before I move on, I'll just take a little aside and just, you know, explain very briefly what is uh causing um you know, some this deficit, driving this deficit. And like I said, it's inflation mostly. Um our health insurance budget went up 12%. Um that's similar to all around the Commonwealth that we're seeing. Um and uh also our pension assessment went up almost $300,000. Those two items alone make up the entire amount that we get in the two and a half increase two and a half% increase that we see in the tax level levy.
I can follow up with Michael on Monday though about I mean, I guess so does like I I'm not someone to ding someone if something happened, but like we the dates and timing of all these processes are super important. So if something went arry, I think I think that's up to us to bring up too if if there just wasn't proper notification. It sounds like there must have been something. Um yeah, at least for the planning department, there was um a lack of communication. So I can speak for my department. um that I did not receive that timely. I don't know if that information went timely to either the select board or anything like that. I have brought up that concern um and I stated in my email to mass housing. So that's how they responded to providing the extension due to that misunderstanding. Um but I don't have more information other than that.
Not much she could do on that. Gets the ball in. Howard with the ball. Back to Jordan. Jordan turns around, takes that bounce pass shot. The keeper doesn't even know where the ball was. Good save ball. Yeah, keeper knocked it down. Stayed right between her legs, right on the goal line. Good job by the Agawam keeper tonight stopping a lot of these shots. Scoreboard doesn't show up. She's playing great. with the ball again. Creo with the ball over. No, Creo back with the ball. Gets the ball into the middle. Addie Jordan quickly grabs it. gets it ball over to Jenna Holly nonchalantly and Eile will start their offense once again deep into their zone. Just under four minutes, Spartans up 14 to nothing. Jenna looking for somebody. She throws the ball Michael Vick style over everybody to Kenna Marino. Kenna Marino up the field. Nice pass.
I'll make a motion. I uh does anyone have any other questions or comments about this? I just like to say thank you for continuing to work at this and you know it's great that you identified a sticking point and came up with a creative hopefully better better way to make these evaluations work. Honestly, both teams are great. So they're just really committed to putting together high quality evaluation teachers for the benefit of students. Great. So now I'm going to turn it over and switch the presentation. We have votes. So sorry.
Any questions? We had one student speaker that came in a little late, so we'll recognize her now. Ameliano Gil. Good evening, good afternoon. Uh uh sorry, Anaheim Union High School District board parents here. My name is Aiano Gil. I am a sophomore at Laura High School and um I'm here on behalf of one of my teachers um dismissals from Laura. Before I begin, I want to extend a question to parents and board here. Um by a show of hands, do you guys have a teacher that was memorable to you memorable to you at all during school? Board members. Yes. That's great to hear. That's exactly why I'm here. [Music] Um, I'm here today to hopefully change your minds about the dismissal of one of my teachers, Mrs. Stephanie Farfan. Throughout my high school career and my junior high school career, I've had my fair share of teachers who have made me dislike school, who have not who have made me not have a motivation to go in there every day and put all of it into my work.
In a world where cyber security and computer skills are critically needed in in the world of industry and public team members were mixed. So they're mixed by uh they were mixed up all different schools who competed. We had members on the first, second, and third place teams who all um participated in this event. First place, Kadijah [Applause] Mido. First place, Hayden Rice. Second place team member, Jacob McCarron Miller. [Applause] Second place Kevin [Applause] Strobble and third place Cadence Lopez Deariaga. Another competition where students were given a chance to display their skills was in the medical competition. These students placed first in the medical competition for the Mountain Desert Career Pathway. Payton Kovville Castanada, Khloe Patterson, who also got a third place individual award, Madison Irvin and Kaylee Wright. the EMT competition also with uh Mountain Desert Career Pathways. They put on an competition for students to demonstrate their skills as emergency medical technicians.
That having been said, I do need some uh assistance and some direction from the ASDB board and I'm hoping to start a conversation with you board members. Um so you may have noticed that there are a lot of changes uh in the red lines this uh this month and part of that is because four of the policies specifically ACA GBK and J III are in response to changes at both the federal and the state levels specifically in regards to um Title 9 discrimination. However, the other policies, policy A, ABA, ABAA, and um AD are the result of an Arizona school boards association comprehensive policy review that they have rece uh recently decided to undertake. So we did our own comprehensive policy review starting in 2015 and now the school boards association is starting their own comprehensive policy review and I have been receiving um advisories they're coming fast and furious uh from ASBA since February and um these particular policies they're not anything that I think that the ASDB board has to adopt.
Let's get a motion before we could I make a motion that we approve the in IGA between Puma County Jed District 11 and the Morirana Unified School District. Is there a second? Second.
So before all is said and done, those fixed costs, those things that we are obligated to pay for took up all the additional tax revenue that we got from the 2 and a.5% increase. Sorry, I just wanted to make that explanation. Um, just getting back to some of the unfunded personnel needs, uh, we're looking at $472,000 in police and fire positions. We wanted to hire four more firefighters to help mainly staff and other ambulance so we could service the community. Um, we wanted to fund two police officers uh dedicated to traffic enforcement. chief and and her team have done a great job of increasing enforcement uh with the resources that we have, but as you know, speeders are all over this this town um in different places and keeping up with them is uh a difficult task. Um 227,000 in administrative support. You know, some people might not think that that's important.
Okay. So we don't know if it's an internal Ashlin thing or mass housing. Yeah. I don't Somebody does. I don't. You don't. Okay. I mean, it sounds like we should try to find out though. Just um if it's somehow mass housing didn't give proper notice to Ashlin, I feel like that needs to be uh brought up. Oh, is it possible for you to bring up the uh Well, we can look at the site plan if you want to bring that up. Yes. I don't think there's any um at least I didn't see that there was a like a rendered site plan. Did you see anything like that overall? I No, I think that they had the existing conditions and then they had the on the fourth page. I think it was the clearest explaining where the building will be and the entrances and all of that.
Nice grab by Grace Howard. Grace Howard turns around, gets the ball. Almost a one-time by Calib and it goes just wide. They have that uh throwing the ball to the left side of the net. The one-timers about three or four times in a row looking to get that to happen. I go on with the ball deep in their own territory. Ball goes out of bounds. He saw that ball. Kins with the ball. Gets the ball over to Grace Howard. Ken Marino to Howard to Jordan. Over to Marino. Jordan. Marino as they're letting gets the ball over to son. Take it to the net, kid. She goes by one. Gets the ball displaced. Looked like a foul on me. It was a little too much extension. Awam looking to get the ball up. Aaron pass. Ken Marino with the ball. Gets the ball over to Jordan.
Did anyone have any questions? All those in favor, please say I. I. I. Opposed. I'm standing. Okay. Um, I'm going to turn it over to assistant principal Keller, Mrs. Carvalo, and Mrs. Gradette for our MTSS multi-ter systems support presentation. Evening everyone. So I will start by talking a little bit about MTSS at our school BCS. So to start um you should just um so I'll talk a little bit about the framework. So, our MTSS framework really focuses on aligning our academic, behavioral, and social emotional learning in a fully integrated system of support for the benefit of all students. We really look to differentiate support for students um in order to promote that equitable access for all. Uh we are looking to emphasize positive school culture and climate. As always, we use data to inform all of our instruction across all three tiers, which I'll get into on the next slide.
teachers who don't care enough about their students, teachers who don't want to be teaching, or teachers who are often lost or not paying attention to the work. Miss Farfan has been everything but that. In the past couple months I have been with her. Miss Farfan, in the short time that I've had her, has been one of the most outstanding and understanding teachers that I've had, not only in my high school career, but in my entire school career. And I've only had one other notable teacher that has made that difference in my life. From the moment I entered the class, I could tell it was a completely calm and trustworthy environment. Something I wish that I could have said about every single class before mine. But unfortunately, that is not how it is. It didn't take long for me to notice it difference from a lot of my other classes.
First place and team first place team member and third place individual award. Isabelle Cornnejo, Orlando Perez, team member and second place individual award, Nolan Qualls. And first place team member and first place individual award, outstanding work, Victoria Schulenberg. [Applause] So glad to have our first automotive competition winner this year. First place for the MDCP automotive competition, Robert Sanchez. [Applause] in the culinary arts from the bakery program, the sweet genius competition. Um, we were lucky enough to stop by during the taste testing. It's one of the best parts of this job. I sign up every year. Third place overall, the team of Sophia Hernandez, Katrina Picket, Liliana Nunees, and Valeria [Applause] Reyes. If I'm not mistaken, they had a secret ingredient to somehow work a cucumber into this. And then they did a great job. Likewise, on the culinary side, we have a local chopped competition.
um ASBA is making these recommendations, but it's not something that is required of us as it would be when we're talking about federal or state uh legislation. So because these advisories are coming so quickly, my concern is that uh I could be asking you board to make some revisions to some policies and then five or six months down the line we have to backtrack and revise a policy again because of new advisories that are coming out. So my hope is that perhaps we can table some of these policies and wait until all of the advisories come in so that you as a board and the assistant attorney general and I can take a look at these policy changes holistically and try to figure out what makes sense for ASDB. um what we are legally required to do and what we think we want to keep the same.
Any questions or comments? Yes, I do have a few comments. Uh in reviewing I'm very familiar with the the Jedi in reviewing it this year. Um there were just some concerns that popped up for me and um there appears to be a lack of collaboration between uh member districts and the Jed in the development of the IG. It's it appears to be very one-sided. Um I'm not going to vote against it, but I do want to put JED on notice that we're watching. Um, I think there's a lack of uh transparency on their funding and um would like to see more dialogue between the district and uh the Puma County Jed. So, anything else? Uh yeah, I me and you come from the CT background, so we kind of we get it. Um I'm sure everyone up here is aware too. JTED has not been the friendliest when it comes to certain things.
I can tell you being on the front lines that is absolutely critical. we can't do what we do unless we have that back-end support um that's so critical to making this community go. Um if you look at things like the library and the senior center, we're not able to fund $148,000 in um critical needs. And then operations, just looking at like DPW and facilities and planning, um 2 uh $222,000 in needs that we weren't able to fund this year. Folks, these are needs. Um we had a meeting with our department heads. We invited members of the select board, the finance committee to hear and and they give an explanation of their budget requests. And these aren't really extras. These are things that we just need to provide service services to the level of expectation that people provide. Um, and I'll just give you some more staff hour increases that weren't needed or that were needed but unfunded.
What caught my attention is that there's just one entry into this whole site. And I wondered like how does a fire engine get in and get out of this place? Isn't there two? I mean, but there's only one on the Memorial Drive side, but I didn't find another one anywhere until I missed it. Well, isn't there one? Is there one? Are they supposed to go below that covered entry? I didn't know that path out there. I think No, I think Well, oh, yeah. We mean like can a firetruck fit under there? Yeah, because the rendering is showing that corner. Yeah, that's a good question. Like, what's the Can a firetruck go through there? Is it that high enough? Um, but this being a 40B project, what is it that we should be weighing in? Is it just architectural or should we get into every the number of parking spots feel like they're really heavy?
