So, we could march there together or there may be other places we could plug in. I'm kind of agnostic, I guess, at this point. I guess I have a slight preference for marching with the elected officials, but I could go anywhere. Does the school have an official marching section? Are are teachers and students planning something official? Students and staff do march. I don't know how they actually align them uh in the marching order, but I know our band usually also marches. So, um I can find out more information for you if you want to know where they will be or I don't know who actually organizes it and might have parade order, marching order. You mean Oh, yeah. The the pride organizing committee. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, um I don't think we need an official vote or anything. It just sounds like there's no objection and we'll we'll try and get some t-shirts made and um maybe we can we'll be gathering some information, but maybe we can plan to meet there at like 10:15 and sort out where we're going to march and all that.

I acknowledge the struggles I face and apologize for those beyond my control. Sports has been my sanctuary, but I know that without them, I risk losing my sense of purpose and identity. I'm willing to work through challenges and seek help daily. As I refuse to give up or excess a life of failure, I believe that with the support of my teachers and coaches, I can change my circumstances and will prevail. So, I really just want to emphasize that especially since co there have been a lot of mental health issues that we've seen throughout not only just kids on our sports teams, but kids that are in our classes, our friends, you know, we really it we do see it. Um, and especially when we went to those leadership conferences, we learned a lot about, you know, substance abuse, how to help others that struggle with it, how to help with the the pressures of social media.

Sure. So, um, and I probably can't do it as justice as maybe John did because John was, um, instrumental in the groundbreaking of League of Stars, but, um, it's a mentorship program, um, that, um, was, um, community- based originally and, um, through Chico State, a partnership with Chico State where, um, they supported, um, is it primarily BIPAC um, students um, to give them mentors, to give them uh, opportunities to um, have good role models and an opportunity to look at um future opportunities through um college and career. And so I apologize, John. Maybe you can jump in. And I just want to emphasize really two words, mentoring and a voice. Um we were able to connect high school students from um all three high schools with people who they felt could be mentors for them um in their in their own um their own perception of life and what life looked like for them in our community.

So, I'll share some of that data with you all tonight. Um so, here's where we're at. Um in the overall process, as you can see, a critical component is that this takes a long time to get through uh to meet all of our statutory requirements and go through the the process fully um and meet our 60-day review on all those pieces. It takes quite a bit of time to get through. So we typically start in September, October and as you can see we finish April, May.

I'd like to highlight uh a close collaboration I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Miss Nash, but also with the AP TOSA dean group, our behavior specialist, and with PBIS systems to provide training and support for equitable and best practices when uh disciplining students that have disabilities. Uh so this data here guides some of our uh continuous work and shows you a glimpse at um one way to look at this. What you see here are um the total number of incidents in which a student with an IEP or a 504 um resulted in an infraction that led to an out of school suspension. Uh that second column there is the total number of incidents for all of last year. And then your next column shows the total number of incidents for quarters one through three. So this analysis took us up till the end of third quarter.

Um my again, my name is Carlton Phelps and I'm asking for your vote on Tuesday, May 20th at Ashlin High School. The reason is I think that I do have solutions because I go out into the community and I speak to people and I listen. I don't just say I have solutions. I listen to what people in the community of Ashlin are saying. I love this community. I'm on the Ashlin Affordable Housing Trust. I'm on the Ashlin uh Democratic Town Committee. And the biggest thing going forward that I hear people are concerned with is affordability and cost of living.

So the teachers have been talking about it and I think it's been a really positive thing. Not a goal but something to throw out there. And then for curriculum, we were implementing StMath this year and I have to say that Kristen Fitz Simons has been an absolute asset um around the implementation. She's done a lot of the work talking with StMath, arranging for the professional development and being a true champion for what it is. She gives out the penguins and she does talks with people and she just promotes it every week when Kate sends out her newsletter. She has the information in there. We are a little bit behind in our puzzle solving. So, we will be focusing on that a little bit more next year to remind people because part of the grant is that we have to do a certain amount each year.

So that was a a major emphasis was the mentoring and then having them um develop their voice on their campuses and looking around the room and and understanding that there are many people like them who are in the same situation and they could consolidate their voice and uh and bring that to the forefront. So mentoring and voice are really the two strongest elements of of League of Stars. I'm I'm gonna go back because I was very curious about the um state and federal job program. So, of course, when you're don't know, what do you do? Ask Google, right? Um but it lists for California like RO programs, um uh the CCC, the California Conservation Corps. So getting I guess um students connected to those types of programs or not even necessarily connected but letting them know that they exist. So um the next slide um talks about referrals to alternative education and so um specifically how is a referral to alternative education done?

So it takes quite a bit of time. Um these were the vendors that were selected to present. Um so the first round is a review of the print materials. Um we do that intentionally to make sure that teachers have an opportunity to dive into the materials themselves without um any sort of a sales pitch. Obviously vendors are good at what they do. Um so that's the second phase of the process to first review those components on our own and then decide what we want to see and hear more about and these were the selections for that vendor presentation um which we did several months back. Out of that process um we came with two top selections. One of them being the AP courses uh that are through perfection learning um and then for the core on level courses uh into literature through HMH. Um, our alternates were from BFW.

Right? So not just affordability but cost of living. two kind of separate things that are intertwined as uh Brandy and Joe have spoken about here earlier. We have infl we're living in inflationary times and in these inflationary times I believe my experience um with finance as it meets public policy is going to be very helpful. I do recognize the select board is bigger than financial as well. There's a lot of things in terms of community engagement that I want to bring to the table. I talked about technology um engaging people um through newsletters and apps as well as the biggest thing that we can do is go out again and listen to make sure that whatever we do as a select board it resonates with the community and everyone could be happy. Again, I'm Carlton Felson. I hope everyone has a great night. Carlton, thank you much.
