A special thanks to the broad view and relationship to follow to allow us to host our event there. Thank you all for allowing us to share what is going on with our ACE family. Have a great end of the school year and remain a [Applause] strong to have Jack Dinardo come to the come to the table. Jackie is here today with some of her amazing students, some of our amazing students, student athletes in uh the class act program. This is a phenomenal program and I have to tell you just interacting and seeing how sort of various events that these young men and women uh have displayed, how they displayed themselves and um they truly are class act. So I'll let you talk a little bit about the program and explain it and then Jackie sits as a as a leader. First of all, I was here three years ago and I retired.
You know, and help you figure out if you know and when things Okay. So, we'll schedule a academic achievement workshop. Go ahead. I need to do that with Denise's input. Mhm. Absolutely. Yes. And I just have a question on objective 4. To host community events to support families in their children's academic and social emotional development. Do you have an example of a community event you'd host? No. Okay. Not really. Not not like quick off the top of my head. I mean, we already do a lot of them, right? But I guess maybe embedding maybe like when we have back to school night maybe we're going to say to the families in room fill in the blank and in this room fill in the blank number you know room number one room number two there's going to be um a work a parent workshop on how to best help your children with reading.
The annual report and financial audit. The California Proposition 39 requires annual performance on and financial audit on the use of general obligation bond proceeds. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 was audited by independent certified public accounting from in accordance with general accepted standards and governance of auditing standards issued by the the controller general of the United States.

The result of the audit is that the district expenditure the general obligation board proceed by the environment requirement of proposition 39 significance project exhaust fans replacement phase one.
Um, and that has been very successful. But again, the um block schedule has allowed us to have a little more flexibility um for for that to occur um at Chico High. Do you have Okay. At Chico High, we have PE enrichment which offers supports in physical education for students with disabilities and we have mentor students that partner in that class. Um, and we also partner with Chico State. So, we go over to Chico State and use the Bwell Lab over there. Um, we use the IXL curriculum at both sites. Um, we have peer tutoring at both sites. Um, and again, we're not done yet. This is just a a glimpse of some of the interventions that we're able to do with the block schedule. But I think at both sites, we're both still looking at student data, the state BA dashboard, um having conversations with kids and families and staff to try to figure out what other things do we need to build um that will continue to keep our kids successful.
So, graduates, cherish the memories of what you've accomplished here at DCC. Celebrate them with your families, but more than that, carry hope into your future. You can achieve mark remarkable things. May it say be said of you at each stage of your life, well done. You know who loves you. Go [Applause] Thunder. Now, the moment you're really here for. Our board of education representative, Mr. Aaron Salt, will be receiving the 2025 graduates. Mr. salt. It is with tremendous pride that I present with you the members of the Discovery Canyon class of campus class of 2025. I hereby certify that these students present today have met and exceeded the Academy School District 20 graduation requirements. I recommend that each of the students present here today receive their high school diplomas. [Applause] On behalf of the board of education of Academy District 20, I accept with pride and pleasure the 2025 graduating class of Discovery Canyon campus.
3,1 8 hours that you survived of lockers, learning, awkward growth spurts, and identity exploration. Many of you started in 2018, the same year as the infamous bond bomb cyclone. Anybody remember that one? I heard some stories about that one. Tori Vasetro braved the storm for the perfect haircut. Josiah Flores shared that he probably played way too much Fortnite. And Renzo Gennard said his electricity went out for the day and he played Candylander or Monopoly against his sisters and probably no definitely won. You started becoming who you are. You picked up instruments, joined teams, tried coding, drama, and debate and survived your first group projects. And then came high school. over 4,175 hours of high school. Many of you right here at Pine Creek, you discovered not just what you love, but also what you don't. And both are incredibly important. You built friendships, overcame setbacks, earned state champions, and submitted college applications at 11:59 p.m.
So I'm open for any questions, but I know we've had a lot of conversation over the next last five months on this topic. Okay. Um last thing, when you do read the motion, please read it as it's written in the agenda. Okay. Awesome. Okay. Okay. Um, Lisa, you have anything comments? Nope. No, I do. Um, I just want to, um, thank you guys for bringing this forward. I think we've gone through it. It's been pretty thorough. Um, our last board, our last meeting was just about this. I also feel that um as a district we've been pretty pretty good with our trying to um address our issues without going to the voters. Um but I think that at this point it's probably time. So with that being said, um if you have a motion, who would like to make the motion? I motion to adopt a resolution ordering and calling a special bond election to be held in and for the district and authorizing the chief financial officer to comply with certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
I would like to calibrate the definitions of the different types of instructional materials within this slide. First, we have adopted materials, and these follow that formal adoption process that includes a 60-day public display and review of the materials and must include governing board approval. In addition, this includes all electronic digital resources and possible supplemental resources that are included with the adoption such as mass math manipulative kits that are tied directly to the units. Our supplemental materials are resources that we support financially provide data as well as provide ongoing professional development and training throughout the year. And our ancillary materials are materials that are specifically aligned to the adopted curriculum and enhanced lessons. Principles approve these materials and all of these materials are also aligned to state standards for our textbook adoptions including the recent math adoption. We adhere to the board policy and state laws to ensure proper procurement.
Um, I was on the housing production plan, which we finished in 2021. Um, I've been a member of the comprehensive plan steering committee for the last two years. So, we're planning for Ashlin's future. Um, so the, um, you know, the select board is a, um, it is it is a volunteer role, but it is very much a serious um, time commitment. and I am an all-in kind of person. And when I decided to run for select board six years ago, I did my due diligence and understood all the committees that basically that the select board appoints because we appoint um I think it's something like 25 or 30 committees. Um so everything from sustainability and the ZBA to conservation and um affordable housing trust and the affordable housing trust. Yep. So, so the breadth is is is big and every meeting we have is different because we handle different things at every single meeting.
So, how can we further differentiate and extend our existing curriculum to really meet the needs of where kids are at and make them sure that they're continuing to grow on those progression bands by the time that they're with us. Um, so this year Emmy Digg and Jeannie Bernalt were our co-curriculum leaders and they did an incredible job um, really working and making sure everyone has their innerator reliability on our TSG, that assessment tool, and then really pulling out the indicators. We wanted to talk about where is each class, where are all the three-year-olds in the building, where are all the four-year-olds, where are the gaps, and then how are we going to improve our lesson planning to give kids more practice? Um and we had two data teams throughout the year and then we had a lot of kind of PLC's or professional learning communities where we can say wow we're seeing multiple rooms are really low in their grasping patterns and learning how to use school tools.
And then of those students that are not meeting growth, who are they? Do they fall in those subgroups? And what do we need to do to address the still the skill gaps that are there? We have um been working year-long on goals and you'll see I know it's very tiny but you do have it in your packet the district level goals the school level goals and the classroom level goals and we've really tried to streamline them so that all of us doing this work have some uh ownership in it and that it is not just teacher heavy but that it is all of our responsibility to make the student experience better. We are in um our year three of work with teaching uh lab and you'll see that part of that is progressing into years four and five so that we can really solidify the work that we have begun in the past three years and then just some more data from E team on ability to identify those trends and serve our student subgroups and then our restorative practice work that we've been doing with the um collaborative really discussing common language, how to develop and share common language around restorative practices, how to really get family and student feedback, and how to support a positive school climate and culture.

Any opposed? Extensions. Okay. Uh move the board of education accept for first reading the recommended revision to policy 1411. I make a motion. Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Abstensions. Uh move the board of education accept for first reading the no revision to policies 1340, 1412, 1416, and 1500. I'll make a motion. Second. All in favor? I.
As you can see, I didn't retire. I think I work more hours now being retired than I did before. And we came up with this group three years ago. And first of all, I know Christiey's still here, but Rogers Park, you guys raise your hand. Rogers Park. These kids right here are product of Danbury public schools and they're middle schools, high schools. They are 20 elite captains of all the athletics. We have over a thousand athletes at Danbury High School. They represent all thousand athletes throughout the sports, everything that goes on at Daybury High. They are high GPA. We have Alexis and Khalil who just got uh the uh scholar athlete. We were down at a turf on Sunday for the highest GPA. Um, so these are all the elite athletes on their sports and at Dbury High let introduce herself and I've made it this program to be studentr run.
And maybe a teacher or a principal might volunteer to do a, you know, a workshop with parents on strategies on how to help their kids with their reading fluency at home. Or maybe we do that for math. Or maybe we do that for um how to monitor social media for your kids. Or maybe we do a workshop on the importance of attending school. like all of these things that we're focusing on, chronic absenteeism, academic achievement, reducing our suspension rates, like maybe we embed that into what we're already doing, but it's an addition, right? So it doesn't feel like so much more extra things. We can kind of build it into what we're already doing, but maybe what we're already doing is going to look a little bit differently, look a little bit different to meet that objective. Does that make sense? And we had talked about last month Tara was going to do some burst little flyers maybe just to you know the parents to you know something like you know have you read to your child tonight or something some kind of encouragement to get them actively involved in that really positive thing.
The the project was completed in November of 2024. All the exhaust fans were replaced at Book Tree, Majestic Way, Noble, Northwood, Summer, Some Summer Somerdale, Vince Park, Morell, Pimont, and Ceremont. Roof replacement at Roskin Elementary School. The project was completed in August of 2024. This project in included all the permanent building on the on the campus restroom addition at Toyan Elementary School. The project was completed in April of 2024. This concludes the actual report, but I like I have a couple comment that I like to make as as a chair and a a committee me as a basic community member. So, can I allow to to make my statements please? Thank you. As a chair of the board oversight committee and a member of the community, I have double duty responsibility and I must address a critical concern regarding our fiscal stewardship. While I deeply appreciate the board dedication to Beressa Una School District and acknowledge that challenging decision to close three schools.
That's what we do. Um in addition, we have um an onlinemies at both sites, Viking Online Academy and Panther Online Academy. Um, as you know, our campuses are massive cities basically, right? We have over 2,000 kids and adults at both sites. Um, and sometimes that's not always the learning environment that kids um, succeed at. So, we do have small um, programming that allows for online and independent study options for students. Um, some kids just need that as an alternative to coming to campus. Some kids use it as credit recovery options if they've gotten a poor grade and they want to fix a grade to get into college. Um, some kids need it for NCAA eligibility, some of our athletes. So, it's kind of been a nice program um, alternative in addition to um, our regular programming that we have at both sites. Can I interrupt again?
Mr. Mitchell, thank you to you, your staff, and your faculty for a job well done. [Applause] Thank you, Mr. Salt. So, as we begin our presentation of diplomas this evening, please be thoughtful regarding the formality of this event and make sure that um and be conscientious of those around you and refrain from the use of noise makers and making loud noises as other students names are read. It is important to each family that they're able to hear their graduates name. Please welcome to the stage our faculty heralds, Mr. Shawn Mitchell and Dr. Janelle [Applause] Watkins. Students on stage, please proceed back down the stairs and first rows, please rise. Your moment has come. We are so excited to begin this process. Please bear with us as we reset the stage.

You grew into resilient, caring, and courageous young adults. You shared a few of your favorite memories with me. Javier Jackson shared he fondly remembers the dance battles at freshman lunch. Epic. Bethany Mertens and Brock Kinsey shared one of their favorite memories were anytime they got to go to marching band state. Ava Yeton shared she will always remember freshman year and Dr. Gable's geometry class that made math actually fun. Cooper Lee shared he will always remember senior football night when it was freezing cold, but he got to walk on the field with his parents and grandparents. And Jonathan Edwards, who attended three different high schools throughout his career, said Rocky Mountain High class is one of his favorite experiences. Where else do you get the opportunity to go to Red Rocks during the day and go rock climbing? Now, as we stand at this moment of celebration and transition, I'd like to take a moment to recognize those who helped you get here.
