And he was going to do a curve over the top so that if water got too drastic of a rainfall and that tube couldn't keep up, it would overflow the top of that down onto that sidewalk again to try and keep rocks and dirt from things washing down on the track. So that that bit is added on there as far as he just gave us a quote as something to fix that um to try and help it. Um if anybody's had concrete work, you know flat work is a lot easier than a retaining wall and things that are going to hold stress. Um so there's a lot more engineering goes into that part of it. Did you need anything else on that? Um I wanted to add something. Can you go back to your picture of that light pole with the water on it? So, this light pole, just so you guys can can remember, all of our light poles are like this.
We are actually already 97% compliant with the the change in law. So we're really far ahead on the last 3% Sedexo is working on a plan for us for those items. So, I want to also talk a little bit about we've had complaints, understandable, totally justifiable complaints um from the residents of Heidi Lane. And some of you may or may not know where Heidi Lane is. It is just west of the farm. So, if you go on Center Street, like the first little road, you can come to make a left on Tidy Lane. It's actually like kind of like an easement for an emergency ingress or egress to the backside of the farm kind of by the double wide on the farm. And we've got all kinds of conflicting information from the county recorder and the county assessor's office. John has been in there making best friends with the people at the county.
I don't know that we've actually parsed that data out. We we do it as a organizationally as a whole. I don't think we've ever broken out the schools separately. We just look at overall our entire arrest arrest data, our traffic stop data. Um but on ordinance tickets because it's a civil um uh offense or it's not even an offense. It's not a criminal offense. It's just a civil ticket we're issuing somebody. We've never tracked race data on that. So I cannot tell you on that side of things which way that went. But like I said, the one thing that was very obvious, we just had this spike where we just had a ton of kids coming to school, um, smoking cannabis at school through vapes. Mhm. And we knew we had to deal with it. And ultimately, we it kind of, I'll be honest with you, in a way it snuck up on us.
So, when do you think the last year we did that was? It was 2019. 19. Okay. It was closed for years. According to what I got, it had even opened since it shut the program down and part of that is because of CO and then Mr. Thompson retired and I've just taken the like, "Hey, can we do this?" Yeah, it's so I know kids enjoyed it. So, yeah. So, we'll look into what we need to do and let you know. How many kids do you take? So, one of the places that I have secured is called the Challenger Learning Center. It's in Hammond, Indiana. It sound like I'm really excited about it, but we go it's a it's a like a simulator. So, I have to put kids into groups. Part of them are on a mission control, part of them are like in the shuttle and they have to it's a STEM lab and they have to work together to collaborate and I think on Mars and a comet's coming or something really like it's it's so there's a cap of 34 on that.
for the teacher on 34,5 Turn it over. Turn CDW. It's lower than what we've got. So, I don't think that the board got all of the quotes for the stupid devices. Yeah, I only had CDW. [Music] Yeah, that's the only one I had. I don't think if they don't have it, then I don't have it either. real quick on the teacher teacher. Does that price include the docking station? It does not. I was finding some around $40, but same thing the price keeps fluctuating. So once I have one, I like the teacher. Do you want me to share it with you? Can you put it on the screen? Yes. We have the Bloom quote for the teacher devices, but we don't have it for the student devices. Okay. And especially if that's the one we're going to go with. So, okay. What you have in front of you, the one that has the balloon pole on it, that is for teacher, not the student.
He spent most of that conversation talking about the new stuff. Lisa Tanzel, who usually also then gives a legal update about stuff that's coming out from courts matters and stuff like that. She didn't even have time to talk about it because we were just trying to do a high level on some of this stuff. So, do take a few minutes uh and read through that PowerPoint and if you have questions uh let us know let us know and we'll try to help you out. Um but also know too ISBA is planning on giving an updated primer of all of the new laws and how they were going to be affecting schools and school boards coming out. Uh just to let you know and so look for that to come too. But they're still they still have questions about stuff even after it's been signed. Just as Mr.
So I guess my question is you know we're looking at putting in more parking at Tanto. Um we're looking at fixing the soccer fields which certainly affects student life. Yep. So I'm wondering uh would the committee be able to allow you know using some of these funds hundred and something thousands seems like a school committee cannot direct this money. This is stu this is studentowned money. The school committee cannot direct how this money is spent for the students. This is this is owned this money is owned by the students. Back to Jessica's point they they they did bake sales. They did pancakes. This is this is not our money. Yeah. So if but where's the majority? If the French club if the French club would like to donate to a parking lot, the students in the French club can vote to donate money to a parking lot but otherwise the school committee cannot direct this money.
Um, other than that, it's pretty I think self-explanatory as far as what we do when we to those allergic reactions. Questions from committee members? Kelly, what protocols are in place right now as far as protecting the safety of students that do have food allergies? Sure. So, um, handled a variety of different ways and I think, um, based on, um, the level of the students, um, because our older students, most of whom can self- advocate for themselves, know what they're allergic to, are able to, um, you know, state what they can and cannot have, um, we're trying to build independence with them. But for many of our younger uh, learners, as well as some of our students with special needs, um, they need adults to be aware. So, couple of things happen. Um, you know, each year the the school nurses are reviewing the health uh medical records that we just talked about in the first first medical policy we went over.
That light pole this past year during football season, I went out with Tim and we were looking through those lights. Those light poles holding the lights up are two U-bolts. There's one at the top and one at the bottom. That pole right there only had one U-bolt at the top. There was no Ubolt in the bottom. and we had them come out and replace those Ubolts in there, too. So, just I know you guys have talked about those light poles at some point, but that's going to be something else that we're going to have to cross sooner rather than later from a safety standpoint on the light poles. So, yeah, I got a few more pictures on here on the light. So this is again just showing you kind of the footprints and things that like again that was a half inch of rain in that morning and we weren't able to practice outside that afternoon because it was still too muddy to practice.
Um the town has different set of information. We have a different set of information yet. Um, the residents want us to maintain the lane. Right now, at some point, it was chip sealed. We don't really know why. It would cost several million dollars to pave the road, which the school district doesn't have. Um, and we can find some evidence that some residents were deed a residential easement. So, we're kind of in legal no man's land right now with trying to figure out if it's the town's responsibility, if it's the resident's responsibility, or if it's the school district's responsibility. So, your attorney's working on that part of it for us. John has sent I don't even know six inches stack probably of more documentation back to the attorney to try to help with it. So, we're waiting on his opinion as well to know how to move forward with it.
I couldn't believe where we got to with tickets. I was like, this is ridiculous. And Brian started working with Jeremy. He's like, we've got to do something to fix this. And tickets are not the answer. Yeah. But yes, to answer your question on the for the ordinance, the outcome side of of it on what the racial data would have been on that, I don't have any of that information. Do you can you disagregate it by school like this many from OHS? This one males, females, grade levels, or anything like that. What ways can you look at that data? Well, uh if you're looking talking specifically for the ordinance tickets that we were writing, uh definitely per school, we we we have that broken down. I just don't have that data in front of us. Okay. Um uh yeah we could do male female um what was the third one I was thinking of like social economic status um or age grade level I will tell you that if we again interface the two from what what we're seeing from them that's part of the next phase of our our data journey right is we know we have to have um the ability to pull those reports disagregate those reports um we're hoping to be able to do that with some better certainty and some better efficiency with a data warehouse that will allow us to do some of those things because right now just pulling raw data out of powers school and some of those other things is a tremendous amount of time and labor put into that to be able to spin that data to make it user friendly to then make sustainable change like in the system.
So um I'm not sure again how we'll work it logistically. In the past, I want to say there was about 50 40 50 kids that went first. That's what I couldn't remember too. I can't remember. On the Challenger Learning Center, we have to cap it at 34 or we buy another mission. So that's the only one that has decent price tag on it. The rest are very minimal. Two of the state parks we're getting in for free because we're reduced I don't know if it's specific, but two of the parts here and it didn't work. She said I never heard it actuallysually. that a lot of work. So then really it's just a matter of us, you know, if it does need approval, just figuring out how to do that. Yep. Transportation, gas, fuel. Everything else is kind of on our end and it's just the transation of the bus.
And so, Joe's going to share what the student devices that he's recommending. The one that there's only one that got included in the packet. Yeah. So, this quote includes the licenses that we need also. Can you scroll down? 329230. So, can you say that one more time? 32. What? I'm sorry. 32,357. Third grade. Yes. Third grade student. So, that's that's one closed. And then the teacher quote that you're recommending is for rowing and that is for $8,50. And again, we apologize that this was not in the packet last week, but again, we're having a lot of difficulty and we want to take advantage of these prices and they won't last until June. So, so with the the two different quotes, I've got $9,47. I think there were a couple pennies in there. Um and then uh you're providing us with the lowest quotes for both react.
Trout said, how does this all interact? The other thing to note about that that I know they didn't talk about that school accountability is coming back. So we will be getting A to F grades here coming soon as well for all the schools. So that's also on the horizon again as well. So yes, now I want to give credit where credit is due. Okay. Um where this whole process started is not where we ended. Okay. It could have been far far worse. All right. And so I am truly, and I mean this, truly truly grateful for what our local legislators have done in support of our public schools within this because these numbers that you see um are much better than the first numbers I was looking at early in the session. And um I thought we had made it and then when the uh state revenue forecast came out and we were 10 billion 10 two two billion under um I had to take a deep breath.
So Aaron, when you say this money, when you say renew account, what do you what specifically are you is? So, we're within within the accounting system that we use for this. Um, uh, Patrick would just create an account. Um, a line item to hold some of this money. So, as people deposit money, so we have one big account with $134,222 in it. The accounting software really just creates a series of buckets. Yeah. Right. And all Patrick's going to do is create new buckets for each of these classes. Okay. Yeah. Renewing an account just makes it seem like it's about to expire and we're Yeah, we're we're I don't I don't know for a fact when, where, or how any of these accounts were approved. So, I would just like to shore up the accounts. In fact, I usually go to school committee every single year and just ask them to reauthorize all the accounts and any new accounts just to be safe.
Um, part of that is any allergies. Um, they then create a list of any students that have allergies and those are communicated with any uh staff members that will be working with the children. Um, so for example, uh, the kindergarten teacher will know as well as all the special area teachers that may come into contact with the child. uh depending on the severity of the allergic response, a treatment response would be uh part of that plan. Um you know, up to and including an EpiPen and and 911 phone call if needed. Um and so that is communicated to uh the the school staff that are working the teaching staff that are working with them. Um if there is a par educator or so forth working, it would also be included with that person. Um that is also given to our food services um so that they have a running list and it does alert on their end um if there is something that is being served that is a potential allergy and it will send up an alert so the student can't order that that lunch for example a gluten allergy or something like that.
Um, this is the west side and there's also drainage over there. And this is by the long jump pit, the north one, where all the cinder washes off the track down into the gutter and we're losing cinder all the time over there on that corner. Um, the south curve is, we'll get to that with the high jump. It's holding so much water that there's not much cinder. It took me I probably drugg it for two hours that Friday before pass track meet trying to drag Cinder back over into that side of the track cuz it was just hard packed dirt. So here is a kind of a further away of the high jump pit where the high jump pits are holding water um and the asphalt that we're using. Um and I got more pictures in here with the cracks that are in it. There's and we using two pits so that we can have if you've been high jumping, you know, if you got a right-handed jumper over here and your left hunter's left side jumper, he's waiting or she's waiting for this kid to get done.
And I know I felt so bad for everybody because after it rained two weeks ago, I'm sure those potholes were like gigantic swimming pools. It's horrible. I went over there this weekend to look at it and it really is in bad shape. But we just need to do the right thing for the residents and for the town and for the school district and make sure that like every little bow is tied so everybody knows going forward where the responsibility lies. But I wanted to bring it to your attention because it is something that we thought we had resolved a couple of years ago under Superintendent Schol, but we aren't finding that final piece of the resolution. Um, and then Mrs. Massie prepared a list of activities for you. Is there separate list on your table next month? There won't be a list really at all because school's out.
So the the approach that we've had over the last two years in working with these guys has really been let's look at process and let's look at the system and understand where we think right now just where we're seeing the high numbers of things and what that's doing to all kids and now let's start to look at those subgroups and those cohorts to determine where we need to leverage different aspects of that. So we'll see that come out in MTSS. We'll see that come out in a data warehouse. we'll see that come out in um the strategic planning process as we you know we've developed those objectives to start to look at some of those those different groups. Yeah, thank you. I mean, the great thing is that those numbers are fairly low and so even when you just aggregated it, it might not be as beneficial to look at it in that way.
Okay. We'll look into it. We'll we'll see what we need to do and let you know how soon you need an answer like yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. So the point where I can get these things locked in and especially if we want to try to do a camping trip because I have to try to get those funding letters out. I already have them drafted up ready to go. Okay. So the sooner we can get that items ordered. The other thing is maybe we could do the day trips this year and push that camping trip next year. So many of us You say you have something else for us? Yes, in the same email that they brought up the uh Wild Indiana Venture Club. I was also told that uh we're going to have a different summer school teacher than we had in place. Um Jody Snider is going to do the other role.
