only has one defender. Goes by one, turns around, scoots the ball low, far post. Another goal. Another goal by or Addie Jordan. Spartans up 15 to nothing with two minutes to go in the game. With your football reference there, were you uh channeling Steve Vinu if Steve's watching? Yes. Subliminally, maybe telling me that you would rather have him here. No. Like that's a no-win situation for me to say. Whether I say yes or no, I am in trouble either way. Good answer. So, love it. Yep. All these years, it's kind of how I've learned. Steve knows that feeling, too. Yeah. Eddie Jordan, another goal. 15 nothing. A minute 22 to go in the game. Ball goes up. Kylie Marino nicely throws the ball to her sister so her sister could win the draw. Over to Calibris Calgary to Lease. She walks away with it. Back to Howard to Jordan to Marino.
Um, and as always, we also include professional learning for all staff. So, here are our tiers. So, you can see it's split up between academic and behavioral and social emotional. So, to start, we have our academic tiers. Um, our tier one really is our universal tier. It meets the needs of most students. It's our high quality instruction using our core curriculum based in research. Our educators are amazing at continuously reviewing their instructional practices and regularly monitoring progress of the kids in their classroom. And then we have tier 2. So these are those students who are in need of a little bit of additional support. Um that is our really our targeted instruction that's supplemental to the core instruction and that's delivered in small groups in the classroom by classroom teachers. It's usually about three to four times a week 20 minutes a session. That's at the elementary level.
While in my chemistry class, my teacher could have just been sitting down waiting for kids to complete work just to go on their phones. Miss Farfan's class was not like that. From the very first day that I was transferred to her classroom, I noticed there was a lot more care in the way that she taught her students. She could tell immediately that I did not have motivation and I am ashamed to admit that I obviously did not. Miss Farfan did not have any prejudice against me and did not sorry and did not have anything against me for not being motivated. She tried to see my way in every single day I enter that classroom. Miss Faren does an amazing job of not only showing that she cares, but that she's there for us for our work. And this is this extends to every single day when she sorry I'm a little nervous.
This team not only placed first in the region, they advanced to county and yesterday they placed help me. I think it was second place. First place for the entree. Yes. Um they just missed overall first at the county because again I wasn't there to taste. Unbelievable success for this MDCP champions. The chopped team of Katherine Gustanian, Carmen Mccertie, Jordan Moroki, and Mary Jane Toro. [Applause] The other part of these competitions is that every time there's a competition where students are demonstrating skills, we also send students to videotape the process. Those students then as they take video are asked to edit that film in our um programs that are designed for that work. And so in those graphic arts classes, they take this video footage and make a short movie about what they um captured the edit the uh film they captured. Competitive capture um comp com contest second place winner this year team of Brendan Aton, Kevin Strobble, Lewis Garcia Masias, BTO Gonzalez, and Noah McDow.
So um that having been said, uh I would love to get some direction from the board on what you uh how you would like me to move forward for the future. Thank you, Maria. Um, I will say that other than the ones that have been um changed because of statute, because of legislation, um I am all in favor of waiting and looking at more of the big picture as as the as ASBA finishes their review um and continues to send you advisories, it would be nice if you could present to us in um and I'm open to other suggestions as Well, if you could pre present to us what um you would recommend for the board to look at and adopt and what we don't really need to consider. I think it would be better served if we used your subject matter expertise in that area than for us to try and weed through all of it.
It's a little hard to work with them. I think as a district and as a senior staff team that we've definitely um had concerns. So, I agree with you. Can I amend my motion? Uh, if the seconder would like would like to hear it first, make a discuss. Okay. I want to move that the governing board approve the IG between Puma County Jed district 11 and the Miranda Unified School District with the caveat that they know that we're watching them. We can do that. Mr. Alexander, if you would like to second. Okay. Um that is the amended motion. Is there any other questions? All those in favor? I I. Any against? No. Perfect. Thank you. Um unfinished business is done. We'll move into new business which is M. It says Mr. Thomas, Mr. Mogart. Thank you, Mr. Hunter. Chairman Holt, governing board members, superintendent, and guests.
So again, in the police department, we could have used another $100,000 for overtime and um other incentives. And these incentives, you know, we incentivize people to get trained in certain specialties, um learn certain skills, certain techniques. Um also overtime is a very very necessary component of a budget, especially in our public safety departments. um in order to maintain a robust staffing level throughout the 24-hour uh cycle. Remember, most of us with, you know, nine-to-five jobs um you know, go home at the end of the day. Police and fire and DPW a lot of times become a 247 operation. Um the building department, uh we have $40,000 to convert a part-time inspector to full-time. I mean, this is a very part part-time inspector. I mean, we have one full-time building inspector who is also the building commissioner, who is also the zoning enforcement officer who also does capital projects.
I'm not sure what the ratio is. I don't remember seeing number anywhere but I think they said what's 1.6. I thought I saw it slightly low. Maybe it was 1.58 to 1.6 something like that. Yeah, I think they had a Sony table. Let me see if I can find it quickly. Maybe I missed that. Was that in the narrative? So, what should we be really weighing in on? Um, Trisha, I always feel like these 40B projects are very challenging. They are. They absolutely are very challenging. I was just trying to see where should we focus our energy instead of kind of I mean does is it design is it where should we focus our energy here? It was the things that we have control over or that um they ask for input. Remember how we were given a list with the first 40b of five or seven um different things that they look at and we kind of determined that there was really only one or two that [Music] um you know that even were something we can comment on.
Spartans up. Like to see him give the ball to Son. Let hook a little bit. See if she can get one past the get up on the board. Marino with the ball somehow really spreading out the offense. There we go. She gets the ball to Jordan. Jordan with the ball. Nice pass. Nice grab by Calib. Calibri sneaks one past the Awan goalie for the Spartans to be up 16 to nothing. And that should be the end of the game. Only 10 seconds left to go. as the Spartans have a shut out on senior night. Spartans beat Awam 15 to nothing. Everybody, thank you very much to Christine Mckne helping me
And then at the middle school level, it's twice a week for 40 minutes a session. Um, so the minutes actually really equal out between elementary and middle school, just kind of happening at different times based on scheduling. There is still frequent progress monitoring at this level. And then we have our tier three. So that's individualized instruction for students that really aren't responding to those tier 2 supports. For most cases, a student will start in tier 2, go through a cycle, which is about 6 to 8 weeks, and then we'll say, okay, they might need to be moved to our tier three, which is given by our interventionists, our reading or math interventionists. Um, on the elementary level. So, these are more intensive, very frequent progress monitoring about once a week to every other week. Um, it's five times a week for 30 minutes a session.
Um every day I enter that classroom I get help with the work more than I can say in a lot of my other classes. Whenever I'm confused, whenever I'm lost in the work, she has empathy towards me and a lot of other students, not just in my class. She's a freshman and sophomore class, and I've heard from a lot of my other peers how much of an impact she's made on them as well. For some, this might be the only positive role model in their life that they have, which is why it's so important that I think she should continue teaching. For a lot of my peers that I've talked to, this is the only person that they can turn to when they have difficulties. There I know kids who have difficult home situations who come to school just for a chance to have a good day because of Miss Farfan.
[Applause] The other thing these talented film students do is also they are allowed to do a another competition where they tell a story. They have to create a film from idea. They have to make sure there's uh costumes, actors and um the entire process of storytelling to make a short film. Instead of a documentary of a contest, this film is completely created by the students. This group won the best storytelling award at our local film festival. They are Boris Aragon Naro, Jaden Diaz, Shiloh Diaz, Isaac Hermosio, Nicholas Hutchinson, and Andrew Mogo. The following team of students was invited to participate in Knottberry Farms physics day. They built an entire animatronic bird that told kind of a story. It's something that you might see in a museum. It was in incredibly impressive the whole process and from what I've heard I think they're they're trying to be hired at the moment.
Do you need us to vote on that or is our direction enough? I am not certain. I would hope that the direction would be enough. I I mean it's not listed as an action item, so I'm assuming we could just direct you as the board. Does anybody want to add to that? I do. This This is Mike Gordon. Um thank you, Maria. Um, as I've tried to weed through the 150 pages of the one advisory and then realizing that there's still advisories coming, I would very much recommend a table until we have everything at hand and then we can work on that because it's a it's a lot of work already and to go back and try to do it again. It just seems it's uh it's just not in the proper order. So, I saw Earl. Yes, this is board member Terry. I do agree with Mike Gordon.
I stand to you with my tiny itty bitty feet in these massive giant boots that Dan Conouro has laid in the CFO role and I look forward to growing into these shoes in the coming years at Moran Unified School District. Uh today this agenda item is to adjust uh adopt the second revision to our FY25 expenditure budget. This will be the fourth time this board has engaged with this fiscal year's budget through a proposed budget, an adopted budget, a revised budget, and now your second revised budget. This is statutoily required before May 15th to account for all of the most recent data and financial data that you have from student enrollment and the like. There were some small changes based on ADM adjustments. What I would say is that our regular ADM was a little bit less than what we projected, but our group B weight sort of helped our ADM normalize.
You know, the person, you know, you see the work being done on town hall, he's supervising that. The person who did the work, he was the same person who did the work on the Valentine barn or or managed that. One person's doing all that. um $30,000 in the library for increased staff hours for programs and substitutes. And then conservation um $28,000 to increase the part-time agent hours. We just have a full it different than like the school department where you have multiple teachers, maybe multiple positions in different grades and different departments. We some a lot of times we only have one in each department, maybe two. that person is the department head, the assistant department head, and the clerical staff allin-one. Um, so we don't necessarily have a lot of room to cut.
The other ones were like how is it financed? You know that kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Um, let me see if I This is This is comments to the state or to the ZBA. This is comments to the state first. Oh, okay. Yeah, then that is Yeah, because I was thinking technically they're asking we're used to reviewing a bunch of stuff and our comments on them, right? But yeah, so I was trying to look at [Music] um see if I open up our comments for 10 to 60. So, we were looking at um I mean, first of all, there's some of the zoning the 40B um stuff that went through on there [Music] um that that maybe we'd be able to summarize again as our third forb Then we went through some key zoning elements. I haven't looked at that yet about I don't not sure.
And then if students are still not responding here, that is when we look to a possible special education referral. Um, and then our behavioral, social, emotional. If a classroom teacher in the tier one has a behavioral concern, they will target that behavior and then kind of track that data for four to six weeks using an intervention. So, for example, a sticker chart, an incentive plan. Um, if that's not working, they then bring that up at an MTSS meeting with our behavioral staff. And our behavioral staff analyzes that data in order to craft goals and modify the interventions. Then they continue to collect that data for another four to six weeks. Um, and then tier three, we would get our BCBA involved. We would observe, review, and make a plan with parental consent. So our process at BCS, so we start by holding initial MTSS meeting at the beginning of um every year and we go through every single person in every single grade because we really make sure we do not want to miss anybody.
And I'm not speaking from speculation because I was one of those students as well. Like I said, I was transferred to Miss Farfan's class um during second semester. During first semester, I was in a math class that did not make me want to go to school. I felt constantly patronized and I felt as my teacher was against me and made me lose all hope for my achievement in that class. I barely scraped by and while I know I could have put most of it in, I also understand that part of it was because I was in an environment that promoted uh somewhere where I felt safe. That all changed when I was switched to Miss Farfet's classroom. For a good week, it was the same problem. I did not feel motivated at all. But Miss Farfan tried to see how I was feeling instead of patronizing me.
This students won first place in that competition. They are Michael Po Dexter and Balin Silva Basera. Moving on to some of the other art forms in photography. Um, and and as you can see around the room, the uh arts programs at the school both in the afterchool setting and and in other formats is really growing. An awful lot of students being able to participate in that work. from Apple Valley High School. Brendan [Applause] Aton, Apple Valley High School. Abigail [Applause] Nicholson and Granite Hills High School. Sarah Solace. In the ceramics category, Devin Alvarez, first [Applause] place, Yasmin Midu, third place. and for something called wealthy appetite. Faith Richling mixed media category. Jessica [Applause] KS, Jennifer [Applause] Morales, and Valerie Morales. And our final C category also um drawing and painting in the visual arts. Students who are recognized for their abilities. This art was all shown at the county level and enjoyed by those who had a chance to go and visit.
Um there are some things that were just changed from March 2025. Um so I think we should wait um until we get to that point. Commissioner Senko, yes, I agree. I would like to say that I would ask Maria to come to the board for further guidance as we receive more advice is a very smart move. It looks pretty unanimous to me. I think we will table that until we have a more holistic look at what might change in the future. Thank you, members of the board. Um, I will plan at the July board meeting to move for a second read the policies that need to be moved in response to federal and state legislative changes. Excellent. Thank you, Maria. Thank you. All right, let me see where um moving on to agenda item 8.1. Um call to the public on non-aggenda items. I do have one Jessica Andredy Daddy sorry with the with the name I should be like very well.
