If you scroll down to I don't know if it's page three and it's marked in red and that'll show you the change. So, so it um because it's part of the fee structure, we wanted to get it correct and so it's marked in red, but everything else is the same as what's been previously approved. Okay. So, it's just all there just because it's all there. It's the form we used. Yeah. Perfect. So, I do have a question. Um, are they able to use their tax credit for this? Um, no. No. How come? But it's So this is kindergarten, right? No, it's Oh, kinder prep. So they don't really the the dollar but the dollar amount they're paying is very similar. There's a slight increase. The difference is right now we have give me correct young coyotes. So if I pay $100 for Young Coyotes and I pay $100 for Kinder Prep, I'm paying $200.
So, any questions? Make a motion to approve theou. Second. Lisa, we have a motion to second. Shante Rothschild. I. Carol Lopez. I. Patty Catra. I. Robert Downey. I so moved. Everyone to item 11 C. approved to adjourn to executive session pursuant to ARS 3843103A3 and 4 discussion and or consultation with legal advice with the board's attorney andor to consider the position and instruct its attorney regarding renewal of the superintendent's employment and related superintendent employment agreement and performancebased pay plan and related matters. The attorney may be in person. I believe the attorney will be here tonight. Um yeah. So we need a a motion a second to motion a second. Lis have a motion to second. Shante Rothschild. I Carol Lopez I. Patty Catra. I. Robert Downey. I so move we now move into executive session. There is one other action item. There might be one other action item after the um after the executive session, but I cannot guarantee how long we're going to be in the executive session, but you're more than willing to stay.
Um if you say, hey, I have to go 20 minutes or 30 minutes to get to this type of service because it doesn't exist in our town. that, you know, that causes, hey, now you need to have a car, you have to drive further, you can't just use um public transportation to get to that type of thing. If we bring in those type of businesses we may be missing, that also helps with that. Um, you know, just different opportunities that can help the town out um to become that affordable town that we we want to aim for. I didn't have a good word to go after that. That's okay. Well, gentlemen, first of all, I want to thank you both for running. I think it's it takes a real commitment to be willing to volunteer. Uh Camila, you're you're you're jumping right in with those five years, and I applaud that.
Another new area that's coming out is very starting to pick up a lot of for high school is uh drone competition. Yes, absolutely. Y that's that's another one and they're being more and more popular um real estate companies, surveyors, you name it. I need a motion to enter into executive session by second. All in favor? I. Do you need a break? No. Yes.
Um interventions. If a student's um needing some more support from a teacher, um they're not having a hard time completing their schoolwork at home, um we do have a study hall on Fridays for additional time. Um students can do a hybrid option at Oakdale where they take one to two classes um at Fair View as well. Um a lot of students will take advantage of their welding program or construction program. Um something that you wouldn't be able to do in an independent study. Um they have credit recovery options um being part of the alternative ed model. So there's four sessions. So more opportunity to make up credits um and also extra learning activities. Uh, and the lovely thing about being on alternative ed, they have access to all the great support services um, and the counseling office. Um, some of the career exploration things we do at Oakdale.
We're just saying that this year Kinder Prep's $200 because we're not having young coyotes. So, so the pricing there's a there was a slight increase to represent um costs associated with it, but in effect um they're paying what they paid before. They're just paying it as a as a one fee instead of a two fee, which one fee would be for young coyotes and one fee would be for Kinder Prep. So, so it looks bigger than the gain really is. It's it's just that you've now done it for the full day instead of half the day. Does this affect any of the summer programs um like football that they have during the summer? those type of community education programs. This is just kindergarten, pre kindergarten. Yeah, I still feel like I I think you need to to draw me a picture because it's not something that um they pay for that, right?
What do you want? Hello. I don't know what I won't. Okay, thank you. M it is 9:50. We're now back in general session. Um just a note that member Lopez needed to leave. Um we're now move on to item 11D action to approve the direction given to the governing board attorney if any during this active session. We actually have given direction to the governing board attorneys. We're now um the motion here is to basically approve that the attorney can talk to Dr. Lopeman and do a new contract. So moved. Second. At least we have a motion to second. I I I so moved. We now move on to item 12. Ajurnn. Motion. Second. Please have a motion to second. I I I so move we're not adjourned.
Uh Scott, you're looking to do the two-year term. Uh Scott, remind people what they need to do to get you on as a writing candidate. What needs to happen so that you can get elected? Um so, you need to write my name in. Uh that's the the big thing right there. U preferably spelling it correctly and hopefully it's right here on the bottom of the of the screen. Um, but Scott Pelleter, P L E T I E R. Um, if you write it down, I think on the last, very last spot on the ballot. Um, and he's running unopposed. So, it's not like you have to choose one of us or the other, but you have to fill in the circle and write the name. Um, so please do both of those things. Yeah, because just writing the name doesn't count. Yes, you have to fill in the circle and write the name.
Um, and within alternative ed, it's a partnership since we're on the same campus is a career day. We use Pathful and then we integrate career exploration assignments to help gives the students some path with what they're going to do after high school. Because many of the kids, you ask them, "What do you want to do?" I don't know. So, we feel strongly with trying to connect them with something when they leave leave us at 12th grade, they have an idea, more detail of what you just said. Somehow or other, either I lost you or you lost me. Um what is it you were describing about the student using that um platform to connect with what they wanted to do with career or college or something. Explain that again. Yeah. So there's an online curriculum called Pathful and it has like a career exploration. there's a diagnostic test where they can um take it and it kind of gives them suggestions on based on your this assessment these are pathways that you might be interested in and then it also goes into so say construction came up as a area of possible interest um then there's more information about construction within that website um and the teachers can assign assignments from that website for the students to use so it's not just free exploration it's actually can be teacher are assigned and where where does the support from staff come for whatever is the student finds in this exploration?
I mean, they pay for it. It's not something that we offer. They do, but it would be considered curricular and tax credits are only eligible for extracurricular such as band, athletics, things of that nature. Preschool and kindergarten, that's going to be a curricular component which is not outlined as available under the department of revenue. Okay. All right.
Um, that's something I have to remember for myself. So, great. Uh well again gentlemen, thank you so much for coming and spending a little time with us. I greatly appreciate it. Uh to the residents of Ashland, I hope you've enjoyed this discussion with two people who are running both for planning board. Camilo is running for the 5-year term uh repling Kate Jerzik who has been a great member the last five years. And Scott is stepping up for a seat that was vacated for personal reasons. Um but Scott, thank you so much for stepping up. Uh again, this is Around the Clock. I'm your host, Yolanda Greavves. Thank you so much for watching. I hope either if you were via YouTube or live through WACA TV that everything was good for you to be able to watch this. We greatly appreciate your support and I hope that you all get out to vote on Tuesday, May 20th.
Say they they do take an interest in the construction. How would they be connecting with someone who can show them that construction is plumbing and electrical and architecture and yes that's what we love about pathful so pathful it's also a virtual job shadow program so as the teacher supports the students in navigating once they take the uh the assessment in terms of their interest and things like that the curriculum guides them to ultimately if a student takes it the entire way it's like a virtual job shadow type program. So we actually use it for three careers classes at Fairview. Use it for what sir? Uh so a careers class at Fairview. So the teacher facilitates the lessons within Pathful. You know they take the assessment they build a portfolio. All of our seniors are required to take it actually. So it actually um with the portfolio there's a resume building everything embedded through it and it leads to specific it guides them almost I can't say what you would get a path a pathway at PV and chico high but that's the intent of the program is to really focus on you know based on that diagnostic what their interest inventory was and focuses on it and guides them through the curriculum and it's packed full pathful right thereer Oh, way down there.
Any other any questions? Sorry guys, I jumped at him. Do you have any questions? No. Okay. If you have um if there's no questions, I will um take a motion. I move to I move to approve the uh updated fee schedule as presented and authorized principles to wave the assessment and all part of the fee assess if it creates an economic hardship. I second. All in favor? I I motion carries five to zero. Okay. All right. Um so now we are into information and discussion items. Look at us at 7 o'clock. All right. Dis 9.1 discussion and information on 2425 district student enrollment. I know that you sent those to us. Yep.
The election is held at the Ashlin High School. All precincts vote there. So, show up even if you're not sure of your precinct, and the wonderful staff and volunteers that are there uh running the election will be more than happy to help you. Scott Camilillo, thank you so much. And that wraps up this coverage and this discussion for the local election happening here in Ashland. I'm your host, Yolanda Greavves. Thank you so much for watching this special episode of Around the Clock.
Sorry. Okay, thank you. I did miss that. Thank you. Okay, and now over to Oakridge Academy. Um, Oakidge uh was started for those that are you new in 2018 um as another independent study option within Chico Unified uh to be competitive with some of our charter schools that we were losing students to. So, uh it's an online independent study using egeneuity. All of our courses are college prep. They meet um NCAA requirements and they're meet the A3G requirements. So, it's set up a little bit different. Um, our high schoolers come in once a week um to meet with their teacher. Um, teacher goes over um the work for the week, looks at their assessments, helps them with anything that they need help with. Um, our junior I didn't put it on here, but our junior high I don't think I did. Yeah, our junior high students come in um a couple times a week with the uh their teacher.
So, if there's any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them. But otherwise, it's pretty straightforward. Any questions on those? No. Okay. If there's no questions, then I will take a motion. Oh, we're not motion. No, this is just information. Just discussion. Dang it. Dang it. Okay. Discussion and consideration of changes to the policy JLCC first reading. And this is just a clarification of students that have lice or pediculius when they should be excluded or not excluded. It puts us in alignment with uh uh with health department regulations and with other uh districts. Uh and so it's just a minor change. Um I think down at the very bottom of the policy at the there's one sentence that we modified uh for it. So if you have a concern, just let me know before the final read. But that's that's what this is about.
Um, we found that junior high students need more support than the high schoolers um traditionally. Um we try to plan monthly social activities um because we you know we have students sitting at home in front of the screen and we want to get them involved with interacting with their peers and have those opportunities also. So we'll plan we have art monthly, we have monthly um games and activity days and then we try to have some field trips throughout the year. Um thank you. I I don't see any number of students per teacher type of ratio. Um so for the high school uh high school it's 40 to1. So they support all their um classes. So one student takes um six to eight classes more. Usually it's six to seven more typically and that teacher supports that 40 those 40 students taking their six classes. Those 40 students is that it there's there's a cohort of just those 40 students.
So, you're saying that if they have it, they they basically need to be sent home. No, no. That they're they will be separated from their peers um for that day and and then excluded from school at the end of the school day and they can return once um uh once the treatment has started. So, it's just a minor modification. Um I think the old policy excluded them right away. And this is fine-tuning it to say, "Yeah, we'll put them for simplicity sake in the nurse's office, let's just say, so they're excluded for the rest of the day." Um, uh, and then at the end of the day, they're they can't they're told they can't come back until they start the treatment. But once they start the treatment, uh, correct me if I'm wrong, uh, before they would be out until the treatment was done versus the new regulation is that once you start the treatment, you're allowed to come back.
Okay. And how many teachers? Um we have count if I have four um high school teachers, one junior high teacher and two elementary teachers. Although next year one teacher is going to be half high school, half junior high because our junior high is growing. Um we do have intervention opportunities. So we found one of the hardest subjects on online is math. not having that teacher every day to ask questions, get that support is definitely math. Um, so we have math tutoring every day from 12 to 1. Students can come in person from 12:00 to 1 or they can log in through Google Meet to meet with that math tutor every single day. Um, and there is kids every day coming into math tutoring to get support. Um, we do have study hall available every day, a supervised study hall with a um, instructional aid that's there to help the students from 12:30 to 3.
So, we just wanted to make sure that was clear so that kids were not getting excluded for school for a longer period of time that was necessary based on on new health code uh guides. So, are is there still um I know that there used to be like a slip that went home to everybody. Yeah, we we have forms that we we send out if we have that uh if we have an outbreak. Okay. All right. Um Okay.
