And uh there is also the three Vikings logos uh in the corners which would be the area in front of the locker rooms in each of the three corners of the arena. Uh so that would be part of that project after we would dispose of the tile, stain the concrete, add some uh logos and designs to that would also be a part of the project. And that project uh is slated to be uh done hopefully uh by November and at the end of the year at the latest. Um and even with using remaining monies from that 22 lease, uh there still remains a substantial amount of um money in that budget uh for other projects as needed or to help uh any unforeseen overages of other projects that are currently ongoing. And I would request that uh the board approve the bid and award it to ACB for the flooring project.

If they're by students, should that be allowed? Should uh Google chat be available to students? All all sorts of different measures that we're starting to look at to know if whether they should be utilized or not. Um we're able to go in and look and see if the kids are using it. Um see if faculty and staff are using it. So we're we're taking a deeper dive at that. Um and everything every item that we look at we're going to make a positive change towards safety and security for our students. The other part is we we need to do some professional with our staff and in reality right so when they're setting up these Google chats that I'm going to get a group of us working together and working on a document or having an exchange of a student absent or whatever it happens to be that we know that we're making that a private document and that's not a public document as well too.
It's like incredibly intricate and amazing process animal development. Now we focus on this animal here in our lab which is scenario elegance. is a very very simple animal compared to all these other ones. But it represents the fundamental problem which is how do animals develop? Now all the animals that you can imagine that are like us. Let's say bilaterally symmetric you know are called the bilaterians and they all originated 500 600 million years ago. There was a common ancestor that gave a rise to all these animals. So what we do today is we try to compare and contrast how these things develop by choosing animals that are easy to do experiments with and they they're called the model organisms. So sea elegance is one. Drosophila malicaster is an insect that we use. And the idea is that it's a fish flower an ail. And so these model organisms are used to do experiments that couldn't be done for example on people but it enables us to learn fundamentals of how animals develop and that those fundamentals can be applied uh to humans.
And I think um you know that's kind of the first question going back to Teresa's question of is there a cost? Um yes, it's a personnel cost um and a training cost. And so those are things we're going to have to monitor um to do this and do it well. You know, will we, for example, be talking about the need for increases in certain areas to be able to do this work. And I think that a little bit premature to say um but we we certainly recognize that there is a c a significant time component to doing this work and doing it well. Um that said it is the right work to do with our youngsters. Agreed. Kelly the um the the um oh my goodness why am I forgetting the word uh the regulation sorry it's quite extensive um and I noticed that there's a section that talks about using different stakeholders uh in the school community to build plan out within each school space.
And that coach was Sarah Rice. The outpouring of support said it speaks for itself. So, um, Burlington School District needs more coaches like Sarah who can be a great female role model for young girls. She's been a champion in sports and has won her life. So, the Lady Cats, the current Lady Cats, future Lady Cats deserve to have coaches like that. I didn't know how they were all like many of you sitting in front of me and even in this room. We have called Burlington our home our whole lives. Many of you I've known since I was young. I raised up your kids, coached your kids, and even call you a friend. Two weeks ago, I was at a meeting in Madora and the speaker asked us all to think about what perspective means and what gives us perspective. Everyone went around the room. Many talked about young parents, the challenges of education today, and loss.
And they're doing it as troopers with no air conditioning are very minimal. Now, that building gets a little warm. I somebody said, "You're wearing the sweater today." And I have my reasons for wearing the sweater, but they were like, "Aren't you hot?" And I was like, "Well, kind of." And I know I walked in some of the classrooms today and it was rather warm. Um, we have in our after school program, we have 24 students that are enrolled again as as we have all year. Um, our reading groups are still staying together. Um, and then the math groups as they've been needed. Um, Mr. Murphy's going to cover about the daycare report and some upsetting things that have happened with our daycare. I do um want to just add to the report that he's going to give. I met with um two of the ladies that were kind of the driving force behind the Wilson daycare and its opening today.
My my kid has some issues. Okay. This officer gave him some guidance. If you guys want to see something worse, go to Safeway at 7:30 in the morning. You see all these kids get loaded up on a probation bus and get taken away to do trash. No one sees that because no one's at Safeway at 7:30 in the morning. I promise you guys, you get rid of this officer, it will be worse. You'll have two buses there taking care of these kids. This man's a this man does great work. Now, he may not be perfect, but who is perfect? Um, once again, I'm telling you, this man has done nothing wrong except for gave his heart, his commitment to kids, and if you guys can't see that, then you guys might want to check yourselves. Thank you. We have two more. We have Mr. Tanner Stinski.
Uh sheesh I lost it already right above your comment about me where she's saying like the consequence should be for drugs versus alcohol should be separated and on the matrix they're they're the same the consequences anyway you treat the uh the for the matrix the consequences are treated the same I mean obviously with circumstances and records and you know stuff like that but The the range of discipline uh the range of consequences in terms of discipline are exactly the same for alcohol and um drugs. [Music] I think because we felt it was redundant, we were just going to put it into one paragraph was that makes sense to me. I was just more curious about the second sentence than the first part. One, two, I'm going to do it to your butt. Okay. Sorry, I thought I was on mute, y'all. No, you're I'm gonna get I'm gonna get shot with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle manhole cover if I don't hurry up.
What I wrote or what Seth wrote. Okay. You can read what Steph. Okay. Thanks, Bob. Um, sorry. Um, Steph is not here tonight. Um, she's not feeling too good. Um, but I'll read what she wrote. Um, she said that I'm nom nominating Derek because he is one of the hardest working staff members in our district. I concur. He always puts in extra time and effort when called upon. He goes above and beyond and does so without hesitation. He's not only a boss, he's a working boss, not afraid to get his hands dirty and jumps right alongside his crew and staff members. I have heard him say, "That's not Wait. Oh, I have never I have never heard him say that is not in my job description. Nor does he feel his position is above any type of work or job that he would expect a member of his crew to complete.
Um so, just having a few minutes of your time, we really appreciate that. I'd also like to thank Dr. Calgotti, his leadership and our partnership we've had as well as Jeremy Bell, Bailey Campbell, we work with a lot of your staff members, but the three of them here tonight um really helped build on this partnership you're going to hear about tonight. I would like to apologize as a public speaker. I stand up, I walk around, I use my hands a lot, so sitting and holding a mic is probably going to crimp my style a little bit. So, I apologize in advance for that. What I'm here to talk to you about tonight before I hand the reigns and the microphone over to Brian is really an overview of our department. But it's not how many officers we have. It's not how many cars we have or what our stats are.
because that would go through a different um approval process being a controlled project. So yes, as long as it's over that about $6.5 million um you would be fine. Okay. To issue next year, right? Make that clear. Yeah. All right. What let me ask real quick. Would the board be able to um do a general obligation bond next year or the year after if they were on a five-year process now? Yes, that is correct. Uh because that repayment term uh the legislation is for anything five years or less. So if you to do that fiveyear I think we it's five and change I would say five years and seven months depending on about when you know if you were to issue next month but uh you would then hit that 5-year threshold. It would no longer be subject to that cooling off period. Well, and that's something for you guys to think about.
You'll too over Two, three, smile. One more. One, two, three, go. [Applause] your teacher presenter. Oh yeah. and Caleb. Come on up. [Music] If you have it, it's here. question. Ask all good. One more. Thank you. smile. One more. [Applause] All right. Anybody would like to make that. Well, if I can say anything about the student of the month since we've been doing it, I feel like there's always a different reason of the month. It's nice to to not just hear they deserve it. Always administration as well. Uh before we move forward to consent items, I'm gonna pass the microphone to Kirk. Yes. to sit here. I gota get up here. Uh I actually invited some people here today because there's some I think first off uh if you come up here would you come up here too? Spirit child's out here. Um you know we we go to a great extent to uh recognize a lot of different people our athletes their record you know when they get to the state you know they really along the way right sports regional semi state man if we get the state we do the banner right and so what's the next goal from that well college you get in to be the NCAA compete on a national level Right.
I'll make a motion to approve HCV ACB uh for the Huntington North High School flooring restoration project. Thank you, Mr. Meltchure. Uh, is there a second? Second. Question, comments. I have one. Oh, and she took it down already. Could you bring that back up really quick? Question. So, the hallway that is in front of the I would call trophy cases in front of the wait room. Yes. I understand the logic behind why they have that facing that door. But if we think of flow in that area, that to me just doesn't look right. And I was hoping that he would be here, Terry would be here tonight so we could chat about it. But is it too late to see about flipping a couple of those areas? And also, yeah, you're you're zooming in on it. And also the logo in the corner in front of the concession stand, it's facing the that hallway.

What do you think, Dana? That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. Yeah. Let's scan out a little bit there. Okay. Right here, please. One, two, three. One, two, three. And then right here. One, two, three. You look beautiful. Great. Congratulations, Wildcats. All right, guys. Congratulations again to our winners. It's always a joy to recognize our students, staff, and community members. Most people got the memo, but at this point, we'll transition to the business portion of our board meeting.
We need to do some work on that and as our as an admin team and with our staff and faculty have most of this any other question again communication either today or tomorrow we're just making the final changes to that get that out um as a community and again our attorneys have been made aware of so this way that we're making sure we're doing things right and protecting our district as well. Do you want to continue with security or do you want to come back to it later in order I'm good with that. I just want to make sure that information was out because we're trying to get that letter out and we want to make sure you guys knew about this before the letter got out to parents and you're getting that letter at the same time as parents and school members and saying what's going on with this have them follow up really nicely underneath um the agenda it for tonight if that's okay.
So the idea is that by studying the genes of the neatode segance and how those genes contain information such that the sea elegance develops properly we will learn about how animals general in general develop and learn about fundamentals important for human biology. So this is the animal that we we uh study. Whoops. Yay. It works. So you see this is this is an adult sea elegance and there's another one crawling away. I don't know if you can see you see like a little oval things. Those are eggs like here's a couple of them here. Then there's some larve crawling around. So the animals develop in the egg and then crawl out. Then there are larve. Then they go crawl around and eat this bacteria. That's their food. And this is an adult. And the animal develops from something about this size to this size in about two days.
Um is the intent to have one large districtwide um conversation or is it uh going to be done by school? I'm just curious. Sure. Um so in the beginning it will be a district expectation of this is what we expect to be um across the school so there's uniformity. Um but then what what we will do is once we set out the expectations with our our school leadership teams um is to have them go back into the schools and identify the individual staff members within their own respective buildings that will help to support the work. Um so there'll be uniformity as far as the requirements and then of course um each building has you know some some different personnel different unique needs and they will identify their individual teams. Okay. Okay. I guess I'm looking at um section B which talks about that they're looking to solicit participation views and feedback of at least one representative of these following groups.
But the point was perspective leads to understanding and solutions. What perspective does this board have right now? At the end of January, I was brought into a meeting organized by the middle school athletic director and was told I was being nominated. A misunderstanding that could have easily been squashed, but instead of adult conversations, a cover up began. I have never had one athlete, parent, or fellow coach complaint. I've never had a verbal or written warning because I am a good coach. This has nothing to do with my coaching. This is because I ask questions. I am not afraid to offer my opinion, and I am willing to advocate for something I believe in, even if I am a minority. A couple days later, I met with the middle school principal in hopes to gain understanding and guidance. I was told that this was not his decision and to go to the superintendent or school board.
And um they had asked if it would be possible to put the ad that we have on the district website if we could put it out on like the radio uh as an advertisement to see if we could get more generate more um interview, you know, potentials. Um I've only had two and one we would have gladly taken on. the other one the team said they didn't wasn't sure that that would be someone that they would choose. So it's it's a difficult thing and I don't know what we're going to do and I told these ladies that same thing. I am going to put together an advisory council which will help us oversee the daycare and I'm hoping that will kind of help with some of the things that led up to this and so we do have volunteers for that and so I've asked them to meet with that we meet as quickly as we can.
