I'm here to voice my support to hopefully continue the presence of our school resource officer. While I understand personal changes are sometimes necessary, I believe it's crucial to understand the impact the decision could have on our school community. I attend China Valley High School and I'm one of the 50 surviving seniors. And being in the Chino Valley School District for the last 12 years of my life has always brought me a sense of security and has always been my community. School should be a place where students feel safe, heard, supported every day they step on campus. The role of school resource officers is not about safety in a crisis. It's more than that. It's about building positive connections, relationships, showing you care, fostering trust, and preventing problems before they begin. A qualified SRO being a part of our community is about working with students on campus, helping out the staff, providing us with a small and sec or providing us with a safe and secure learning environment in times of a safety concern.
And then second paragraph would be local law enforcement shall be notified yada yada. That's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Jez, are you good with us doing that? I don't Yes. Okay. So then I'm going to Cross these all out. Okay. So then this one is done. And then if you guys can go next to J IIR, excuse me. Um, okay. So the first two are just like comments about what we took out and then C there was no there was no figuring out what the APs are using because there really isn't anything that people have been using in particular for written reports of the findings. Most people are just using we were using the cover sheet. Most people are just using their like notes. So I just think that um we have two options. We can leave in written report and assume that that would need to be work or the investigator shall prepare documentation of the findings and then it encompasses the different practices that we have.
Sure. But I think it's also these fabulous teachers that you hired. So we just kind of wanted to end uh the year you know celebrating some of these positive student growth numbers. [Applause] those green numbers that say 77th percentile 69th percentile that mean that there's kids are testing their growth is in that percentile compared to all kids taking the map in first grade country. So, and that we have seen uh K4 this year. We just got our MAP results in and K4 we're seeing those numbers in MAP right now. So, which is really strong for math with the new math. Yes. I was actually anticipating a dip this year because it's a new curriculum. But, uh we saw complete opposite in K4 for sure. What was the old one? Yeah. Yeah. All right.
You know, it took a lot of work to get here. Been friends since first grade. Might as well keep it going, right? Best of luck to you. I hope you stay friends for a lifetime. I think you will. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Our next award is late to class. Ava Potansza. Ava Patanza. Oh, here she is coming in a little late. She's living up to her reputation. We told her to be here at 7:20. Here we are at 7:51 and she comes in from the side parking lot. Ava, why are you always running late? Honestly, I just can't wake up in the morning. So, when I see the light shining in my room, I just go back to bed. What do you do in the winter when the sun doesn't come up until 7:30 or 8? I sleep until third period instead of first. Okay.

Is anyone interested in speaking? There's not. So, we will uh move on to additional appropriation resolution. So, could I have a motion and a second to adopt the additional appropriation resolution?

That is part for your presentation and this we will consider this. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Uh with no one else signed up for public comment, uh at this point we'll move forward to student Mrs. Brown. the best part of the whole meeting. Um, so we are going to start with the May DC student of the month and Mr. C and you guys would like to come forward. Okay.

Um and that would include two parts. one, actually restoring uh the Terzo in the areas that uh need some work as well as uh stripping all of the wax and then doing what they call diamond grinding on the Terzo so that we no longer need to wax uh the Terzo floors. And u it is quite a process.

Yes, you did. Get everybody in here. And the bull paparazzi's here. Here we go. All right. Dr. Smith, could I trouble you to take one small step in? There we go. I got you.
If those groups were created in the past and weren't checked off that they could people didn't have access to them. A lot of times there might have been 30 or 35 people in that group chat and then someone else tried to join in and people didn't realize that person was joining in there as well too. It's sort of mimicking what's happening in in our happened in our country as well too. Um but there we minute we found out shut down locked down and we went through 147 by the way is the amount of individuals brokenoff groups that were created in our community. Um again amongst teachers amongst teachers and their and their students it could have been any type of group that they were having conversations on Google with. Um we lock them all down. Joe's going through each individual of the 147 and making sure that you have to either get permission to join that group or that you don't even have access to that whatsoever.
And they they shoot along the ground. If you're not looking for them, you don't see them. If you're looking up, they wanted people kind of like observe them and describe them and like measure make measurements about it and stuff like that. So, I thought that's fantastic. So, that's my first published result. This is an actual magazine and it says here, Victor Ambrose. Let me see where is it. Right. Victor Ambrose and his station was in Chadik, Virginia. And I just loved that term station because when I read that I said, man, I'm a scientist because scientists have stations and this magazine said I had a station, you know? So, I mean, honest to God, that was like my I felt affirmed as a scientist, right? This is my dad who was the sponsor. And this is just a you you all may have seen this just last year.
Thank you. Thank you, Anita. I will try you. You shared a lot, so I will try to make sure I hit on all of your um questions. Please uh interject if I do not. Um the first I understand the concerns regarding um the mandate um and and funding and you raise a lot of um you know very valid points and concerns that um while in my personal and professional opinion I think that this is the right approach to take with our students um it cannot be underscored by it takes more time um than it does say to issue a disciplinary action. It is about coaching and teaching and processing um and and you know getting students to really understand their actions and then how to do better moving forward. Um so as far as who will be trained, we're going to start with training um for the leadership team over the summer.
She would always stay after practice with me and sitting, surfing, walking, or anything that I needed to work on to improve. She didn't only make me a better player on the court, but off the court. She would text me and tell me how to improve my volleyball skills after practice. Not only did she make me a better player, but also a better person in the world. She would always believe in me and help me believe in myself and not stay in my head. She would text me if I had a bad day or game. And I quote, "Hey, keep your head up. Everyone will have one day. You are vital to your team. I love you competitive spirit but together positive. You can do this rest and get ready for Monday. She made me love my ball and made it enjoyable. I wouldn't love this game, be a better player or have a better mindset and go for coach and I feel upset that the younger girl will not be able to experience the amazing that she is.
Um we held the FFA banquet on April 24th, NHS induction was April 28th and the Oak Club awards banquet was last week. Um I'm sorry my pictures did not all come through.
It's important. It's important to have your SRO who knows the students, understands the students, and knows the community of the or the culture of the community. It's a necessity. Our current SRO, Officer Noting, is not just a figure of authority. He's a mentor, a counselor, a good friend, a trusted adult. Many students feel comfortable turning to him. He's been there to resolve conflict, prevent bullying, simply being someone who understands, someone who simp someone whose students feel comfortable approaching in between passing periods. He's built connections with the students as well as many families the last two years. Snowden being one of the few staff on campus to take a pause, put the students first, and show us that he actually cares for every person on campus, making sure we're heard seen. Replacing the SRO would be meaning Replacing the SRO would be meaning losing the trust that's been established, losing the relationships and the connections, losing an individual on campus who actually cares for the students and potentially disrupting the sense of safety and stability within our school environment.
Um as long as you have documentation like your witness statements and stuff, we would be fine. Um but I didn't get anywhere with like trying to make like a universal thing for that. Okay. So my vote would just be go ahead and put documentation so that we can get this to them and then documentation can get figured out best with the APS later on. And I'm also okay with people wanting to be more formalized with like a a written report if that's what we want. Documentation. I think I'd go documentation and then that way it's covered and then we can meet maybe outside of the committee as APS or something to work that out. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we should have like a list of all the things the APs need to finish. Well, and it Yeah, that I think would be helpful. And it may also be helpful like when the APS get together to figure out what that documentation is to just kind of compare notes on what types of things are typically documentation.
Anybody have any questions? Thank you. Thank you. First grade team accomplishment recognition. All right. I'm going to call up primary start. Miss Mullen.

She'll help anybody in need, no matter how big, how small. Um, she loves participating and learning new things. Um, her mom and I laugh because she's she's always asking questions, so she always wants to know why or how or who, you know.

I have Caleb Moffett on the uh Zoom here for any questions that anybody might have, but I think we've kind of already gone over everything that we have had questions about. So, and I think I spoke to everybody with the idea that um we were looking at two years to pay that back. Caleb, do you want to explain real quick what the what the benefits are to the two-year versus the fiveyear? Yeah, certainly. So, uh you know, as you mentioned, the two scenarios that we had prepared, the five-year was more to kind of allow for flexibility um in the parameter set. So, uh, I guess the trade-off between the two, you know, a 2-year repayment, similar to a home loan or a car loan, you know, the the quicker you repay the the principle you're borrowing, the less interest you would um acrew and then have to pay back.
