Yeah. Do you want to show you again? save your voice for. So, when you're looking at the baby worm over there, while it's still in the egg, how do you know which um you saw like there was a nerve and a muscle and an intestine. How do you know which ones are which? Yeah, that's that's I'll bring it back. That's a super question, right? So the the [Music] um no I don't but the um yeah so basically the using light microscopy and there's a way there's a kind of light microscopy that allows you to visualize really in stark relief the nucleus of a cell right and different cell types have different nuclear morphologies that can be recognized. It's like a face, you know. So neurons are small and kind of pink, you know, punct ponte big and so that's helpful. But moreover, when that animal develops is in that movie from one to two to four to eight, 32 32, you you can actually watch that happening and it produces a chart you can draw out called the lineage cell lineage from 1 to 550 cells.
Let's say they move into us at third grade. But if a child moves in after kindergarten, we wouldn't want to wait until seventh grade to check that they have it. Um so that's why we altered that language here. Um this uh goes on to um also talk about our preschool students and requirements at that level and really just spells out the different immunizations here. Um it also uh highlights any of the oral health assessments. Um so this is some of our work with uh CIFIC where they've been able to do some dental clinics. Unfortunately, we have not seen as many of those in recent years, but this allows um in the policy for those to continue when they are able to um give us the staff the staff personnel to do so. Um and then lastly, it talks about, sorry, I feel like I've been saying a lot.
We need you talking to us. Um we can't do anything about something we don't know about. So again, we don't know what we don't know. Can I just make one request of the board, please? on regards of you don't know what you don't know. I would highly recommend that you consider having a survey or an independent body come in and talk with your staff about the culture that you have at the school because I believe there is a culture of fear and intimidation that is present that the board is not aware of that they need to take some action on. You've heard it one example from Sarah, but there is a problem in the school system that your staff is afraid to arena for fear of retaliation. You Wolf Creekers should recognize that because it is ingrained in us and we are not seeing it.
I don't know where to mesh for a total of 29. [Music] Okay, second. There's a motion by Kayla and a second by Alison. Is there further discussion? Do you have any other thoughts, Dton? No, I don't. I feel like they're both going to be really comparable. And we're going to have some other concrete jobs coming up here pretty quick, too, that we'll have multiple bits from. You don't want to ask Scott though what it costs to do that in between. You want to just move forward now? Well, if we don't get this situated at this time, I'm worried that we might not get it in this summer if we wait till the June board meeting. So, a different option would be to approve like a certain dollar amount to be spent. Scott doesn't go over 285 or 286. I mean that be the only option, right?
If we're only presenting them with second grade material, they're going to get further and further behind. And so there's concepts in the fifth grade that they're introduced to. Even though they're at the second grade level, they're introduced to those concepts in the fifth grade level. So that when they take that state test, it's not completely overwhelming to them. They're like, "Oh, I've seen that before. I'm a little familiar with that." Or maybe they have a better guess because of it. Right? And then our goal is to get them up and to keep keep you know working towards closing that gap. So what we did is um HMS and Del Rio that was our our those were the target schools this year and we really worked to get everybody um placed in groups of six students or less with a proctor and we went through a specific script to try to encourage them to do their best.
But Katie's question, I don't know how we fix um like the petty offense part. So, I don't know if that just needs to be taken out or and I saw I didn't take a stab at um where are we at with the petty affirms name? If you go to JICG, it's the last line before the like adoption date. Okay, one second. All right, here you go, bud. Wait, put your head up. Hold on. I'm clipping by comment. All right, goodbye. Go. All right. Um, J I CG. Okay. You said it's the last thing before. Oh, under personal violence. The prohibition. Wait. Prohibition of what? What are we talking about again? Oh, tobacco use by students. It feels like a It feels like another we're going to go and do this and this and this and also by the way that's committing a petty offense. So a petty offense under Arizona law is any offense which can only be punished by a monetary like punishment.
Right? It's it's giving a financial penalty that a lot of times the parents are taking the brunt of. We don't know the economic status of of of the people that we're dealing with and what kind of educational value is the student really getting. So we collabed with with Jeremy and his team and the school district and we realized that we need to change that practice. And so prior to the 23 24 school year, we implemented an educational piece that any time that somebody was referred to us for a a vaping type issue. We took them through an education intervention vape intervention class basically we were calling it and that was in lie of a ticket. So, it was some type of educational piece and we were hoping that they would learn something from it. The the the the bad effects of vaping, right? Um ultimately that dropped our tickets dramatically.
We cannot find bulbs for it that are reasonable. The bulbs they want to sell us are more expensive than the new unit was. Yeah. So, I mean, it's it's just ridiculous. Um, so you guys might not know this, but a couple years ago, they came through and changed all the light fixtures out. Well, I think because it was in a cooler. Yeah. Well, yeah. They had to buy something a little different and whatever they bought is not it might be up to code. But I mean, if you can't replace the bulbs in it, they're useless. So, um, we're going to clean the hood in the kitchen. We're going to fix a hole in the wall. We got two classrooms, two science labs upstairs with holes in the wall. Um, we're going to fix both of those. Uh, there's a gun safe that's going to be um for the SRO that we're going to get installed.
I'm not saying that's the case but that's right. So it's nice to look on that savings versus the cost even though it's grand where that may be. There's no doubt that we're going to get tight on money next years and so we need to look at I've had teachers offer to drive some of our ventos as long as I can get them a vehicle they'll take them. [Music] I said, "Have you ever had somebody about using our employees for somebody that's basified to one insure to That's not um I guess what does it make a difference if they're a coach or anything? They've been trained on the class. Oh, no. Right. No, they're all right. It's $35 per trip fee and $28. handle like a bus or a van or something. It depends on the needs that we would have. If we had five that needed to go to Lafayette, we can take all five of those on.
That that is amazing that these are underassmen that did this this evening. That is absolutely incredible. So, um, one of you just has just come up. I want I want to hear from all of you. I want to hear your name and what grade you're in. My name is Cadence Spiel and I am a freshman. Man, that's impressive. Yes. I'm Lauren Worthman and I'm also a freshman. Wow. My name is Fallon Powell and I'm a sophomore. Thank you. My name is Alice Fzen and I'm also a sophomore. Thank you. My name is Karen Fields and I'm also a sophomore. Good. My name is Kira Stansel. I'm a freshman. My name is Savannah Slade and I'm in 10th grade. Okay. My name is Emma Richard and I'm a sophomore. My name is Libby Couch and I am also a sophomore. My name is Maline Smith and I'm also a sophomore.
I I Any opposed? All right. The eyes have it for the consent agenda. And these items are also available to the public to view um on our consent agenda. It's items such as our personnel report, claims, service agreements, field trips, fundraisers. So, it's available for viewing at this time. So, now at this time, I will move on to our board comments. Do I have a volunteer? and I will call Miss No comments. All right. Thank you, Miss Lawrence. Okay, Dr. Mahalins, I just added last week was teacher appreciation week and one of the highlights just as a mother. Um, we have the kids, they have to write a thank you card to all of their teachers and sometimes it takes a little nudging because you can have different personalities with our teachers and children. And this year they were ahead of schedule on writing out their thank you cards.
We haven't includes that incumbrance things like that. So I think um we're trending fine there. That was the question that the broncom had was about teachers in December. The answer was well we've only paid them for two months by six. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this is a month. All right. Cool. Anybody else? Megan. Um, yeah. So, like going back to what you said about that that I know like there was an issue with this report and the incumbrances. So, that piece of incumbrances for some reason it wasn't encumbering certain salaries. Is that what you're talking about or No. So, well the report our because we do our payroll in Harper's we don't naturally encumber anything like like in terms for salaries which is a problem. I we we'd like to figure out how to remedy that. It's not an easy fix. Um it either requires a lot of manual labor or finding a system that will allow us to encumber salaries properly.
That was first figured out by a guy named John Solston in England who sat in a room for two years looking through a microscope watching embryos develop and taking notes and drawing. Right? So, and then he and he worked it out and then he determined that if I watch this again, it'll do it exactly the same way. If I watch it again, it'll do exactly the same way. So he actually established that the development of sea elegance is invariant in terms of who which cells divide when and what they become when they divide all the way through. To do that yeah he got paid he got a he got a Nobel Prize for doing that actually. So um yeah so that it's worth noting that that Nobel Prize also was the Victor's post. Yeah. Postto advisor Bob Horvitz. Yeah. Discovered the genes that regulate how cells die.
It talks about our um sports physicals. Um what you'll see here is that we are recommending um and this is one change. They have to have a sports physical um before the the first day that they participate in the sports. Um the sports physical is basically required annually, but you will see here that we say every 13 months. Um and part of that is um for those of you that have ever tried to schedule a physical for your kid, if you had it on May 1st of last year, you can't get an appointment till at least May 2nd of this year. So it gives that window of time for people to be able to do that. Um we also have had it as a practice and really is the recommendation of Carrie that it continues annually for any of our athletes. You are allowed to do by annually if you want but we really feel it's important that we're screening kids um at that you know middle high school level that they're safe to participate in our athletics and would definitely recommend the annual annual screening um thereafter.
You're not hearing it. You need to find out about that and take some action. We rely on all of you to talk to us, right? We But please listen to your staff and we need the staff to talk to us. What's that? Yeah. Again, we are we work on you. We represent you. We need to know what you want and we need to know a specific um incident or whatever good or bad. So I just encourage public. So I have two things. So Sarah Rice and I attended so for Sarah Rice and I attended a school foundation meeting. about um uh schools are now you know there are so many schools lots of schools have foundations and so they are trying to get a statewide many states so Oklahoma for example has a um foundation um program basically for the whole state. So Kansas is starting to do that.
Well, it would be nice if Scott knew because he wasn't told about it, you know, he did because for something he didn't know about, right? So, there is a motion in a second. I didn't. [Music] So if you wanted to, it would have to be an amendment motion. The original one was to include the in between concrete, right? Okay. But accepting it from a specific contractor. It was by Shark. Yeah, I got that. So, an amendment could be to just have the dollar amount and not have the specific contractor to give Scott an option. Scott's local. He does a lot more work. I use Sharpie, too, for our shop. He does great work, too. Scott's always here. So, I don't know. I don't know how you word it. The Sharky had a very good I think Otis Otis Otis from Cross. All right. Okay. So would your would you want to amend the motion to strike the certain contractor in order to if Scott doesn't want to do it or if it's more I mean we need to move forward but be nice if you get a call and see hey would you do this for what would it cost to do that and says no or whatever we just call short do you want to make a motion for that amendment I it for me.
We gave them strategies to help them um calm their bodies. And we proctored that test in these tiny groups in both schools for all of the um levels. I'm not Yeah. all the levels, the grade levels, and the um ELA, math, and science. So, we're hoping that helps us when we get our scores. Next, we also have an Ames program, which is autism inspired minds. that is for students who um are um on the end of the more severe end of with autism and they need a lot more support. So we um have that program that's at territorial right now and we do trainings for our pair professionals according to the guidelines as well as a 20 additional hours of modules and specialized trainings for autism and then they do intensive trainings with specialists who in in autism um EDP trainings that's emotionally disabled private public campus programs those are for kids with emotional disabilities we teach them CPI which is deescalation and straight training and we use the foundations for life program and that is the behaviorally based program that they use.
So a fine it can't be punished by jail or p or imprisonment. Um, and so I I don't remember what I put as the note on here. Maybe I was going to figure it out because I don't remember what a petty offense was. But there's Okay. It feels weird to put it on to put that there. I mean, are we putting other places like a person who commits this is guilty of a class 4 felony? No. So, I'm just confused on why it's there. Well, and I feel like I wonder if this one was a rushed one because it doesn't it really like the paragraph before is very very short too about like yeah, we might suspend them or expel him. Who knows? Yeah, we could probably take this out because we don't have like that if everyone's taking out this warned. Jez, are you good with taking out the um petty offense portion?
You can see that we only the next year we only issued around 20 and those 20 were ones in which the kids and the parents decided that it wasn't worth their time to go to the vape intervention class and or uh we had a repeat offender after the vaping class. That the majority of those kids were the ones that opted out to not take Oh well yes and that that it's a good thing to know that that that class is is provided free to the parents. Um we have taken the brunt of that uh that price and and and and actually paid for those classes for for the kids. So that's how much how valuable we think this is. Ultimately I'm happy to tell you though 24 25 school year we have two weeks left right we have issued zero vape tickets. So, and yes, whoever knocked on wood, I was going to do that because we're so close.
So, he's got some place to lock his lock up a weapon. Um, replace door at the greenhouse. The greenhouse door um does not shut and needs to be it's all bent up. Needs to be replaced. Um, we already have a new water heater in the annex in the grade school gym. So, they actually have hot water now. Um, we've got complex fence u out the complex we have some fence replacement that needs to be done. Um, he's got a vendor. Ross has a vendor for that. The local vendors we used to have here that we used to use I don't believe were in business anymore. So I think he's gone with somebody out of Terraote. That's who that's who did a lot of them before. Was it? Um, last couple years I think Alvin and Powell both went out of business. Alvin too. I mean, they're right there.
