you know, so you know, uh, walk more than just eress the way a number of doors usually more than 50. It needs two ways out of the basement or out of the space and designing it for more than that. You'd have to look consider that as well. Uh, one other quick question on your proposed basement floor plan. Um, there's a line that goes across where where it says utilities. There's a line that goes across. It looks like an opening below the elevation mark elevation symbol. Um, can I come over to see what you're talking about? Yeah. I just want to know. I just want to know what that is. Oh, that's just a wall. Oh, it is a wall. Yeah. There. That right there is a wall right now. But it won't be. What? It won't be or it will be? No, it's we we um we left a rough in for a door if someday they want to put a door there, but it's right now it's just a wall.
And then what we had to do is if there were three people in your group, you got you had to make up a sentence using the and you could only use four words, but you had to make a sentence that used three words that your people each came up with and then you could add one word. If you had six people, you got to use seven words. So you always got to add one word, but you had to use all the words from the group and stuff. And it was interesting listening to how they they worded it. But it was also being educators. I think a lot of us had the same train of thought and stuff. A lot of our words were very similar and very familiar. So what we would like you to do is get with two two or three of you get together or if you want to work all as one big group that's fine.
I was born on January 15th, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. I am known for my non-founding protest and my I have a dream speech. In my childhood, I love music, so my mom brought me to church so I can listen to their songs. I had a friend who was white and we love to pray with each other. One day, his dad said he didn't want his sons to be friends with me anymore. I started becoming famous when I started doing my protest and speech about civil rights and equality. I I tried my hardest to make people believe I was right. I did not give up when I tried to make equality. I hope my speeches has helped you. I sadly passed away from my firearm by James Earl W in 1968. Thank you for visiting with Martin Luther King Jr. Remember to work hard and never give up.
So, uh, Kelly, congratulations on your award. Come on up. [Applause] Congratulations everybody. You're welcome to definitely stay because the next item on our agenda is audience. So, I will give it a few seconds for anybody to walk to the podium. Please state your name and your address. All right. Seeing no audience members at the podium, we will move on to consent calendar. Looks like and it looks like we have to have approval of grants resolution which I think I just signed to Carol. I follow directions, right? Um but we do need to call for a motion to approve the consent calendar as presented. So if somebody Dr. Harrian that the treasure Sure. move that the Cheshire Board of Education approves the consent calendar as presented. The motion is on the floor. Is there a second? Mr. Grio. All those in favor of the motion that is on the floor, unanimous.
He is thinking about Western Governor's University where he would study cyber security. Alli Watson Alli plans after high schools includes classes at Pikes Peak State College, then pursuing a music career. Ashley Leanne Zimmerman. After high school, Ashley plans to continue her position as manager at Domino's while exploring schools like Pikes Peak State College to learn about cars. But she's also interested in studying oceanography at Boston University. Congratulations to the class of 2025. [Music] All right, for the turning of the tassel, I would like to introduce Trinity Dodson and Ashley Zimmerman. [Music] Okay, class of 2025, please join us as we move our tassel from the right side and place it on the left. Way to go. [Applause] Let's hear it for the class of 2025 from Aspen Valley High School one more [Applause] time. We appreciate all of you for being here today with us to celebrate our small but mighty class of graduates.
Oh, so you really need you you really need the other side of the stair to be open to get it to get to this. I don't know what you mean. What now? This is a wall. Yes, this is a wall now. Yes. Okay. So, you really need this part of the stair open. It is open. Well, it is in your drawing, but I I was going to suggest something else as far as the railing situation. Oh, but obviously that's not going to work because you need the you need this open to get to this and you need this door because this is a mechanical room. Well, it's Yeah, mechanical laundry, whatever. Whatever. It's it's a utility room, so you have to limit access to it. Right. Exactly. Okay. The the since you were talking, I did come up with with one possible um if you if you can.
Work as one group and think about one word that would define what you feel is a strong leadership quality for yourself. and take about five minutes and then we'll put together the statement and stuff and talk about that. Does everybody understand what we're asking you to do? Yep.
Good afternoon. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Simone Nal. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, March 14th, 1997. I am best known for winning the Olympics in 2024. In my childhood, times rough. My siblings and I were put into the foster care system. My sister and I were adopted by our grandparents. As a child, I was homeschooled because I was practicing gymnastics for 20 to 32 hours a week. I became famous for winning 41 medals and winning the Olympics in 2024. I also won the all-around World Cup two times, and I won gold 17 times. I'm strong and hardworking. I never give up when I fall down. I was adopted and worked all my way up to be a gymnastics star. I hope my struggles as a person who has adopted and let nothing get in the way of their passion for gymnastics have inspired you to never give up.
Thank you. Consent calendar is done. Presigned. Next items are our committee reports. We are going to go to curriculum. Miss Cullinin is not available. So I'm going to forward to Miss Lano if you can give us the committee report. You bet. got rowdy out there. I'm excited. Yeah, it is. Apparently, our curriculum committee met on Monday, April 21st, and the first order of business that night was for a new US history textbook called US History Interactive. and Tim Galvin, who is our department chair, was there to share some information about the book. He um noted that there was a team of three teachers who evaluated three separate textbooks. They came to the resounding conclusion that this one is the one that would meet their needs. They looked at all aspects of the C3 standards. They looked at the readability. This textbook would be um for 10th graders who are taking the uh US history course.
We are so proud of you and your accomplishments. Graduates, remember to see Miss Fletcher before you leave. Um, when you turn in your things, you can grab the rest of your belongings. She will meet you at the staging room where this party started. So, class of 2025, you are dismissed. [Music] [Applause] [Music] God. Hallelujah. to play. Violet, Violet, Violet. We never have to play that again.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um where am I? Um if you made this bottom, there is enough headroom for one land for one step. Mhm. If you made this one step Mhm. then this then the railing could go the 10 in going that way. The railing that's coming down here. Turn the corner. Turn the corner. And then there and then there the other problem with the two l two two steps was that it came too close to blocking the this mean of eress. So if you just had if you made this bottom one one just seven seven in and then you had the railing go that way then it would work. Um, okay. And that also gives you the heading you need for the landing and get you underneath the bathroom sink. Seem like it helps you, right? But it doesn't change the overall geometry of the stair if you add the extra.
Any any questions on what we want? Okay. And are you a and are you a team? Is this group the board the board? Should we go down in the audience though and join their groups? I mean it would seem like it would be very more much more educational to listen to other people. You can do that. Uh, it's not fair to leave the room. Yeah. So, are we going to go down there and then be with him? Yeah. Get your behind up, Cheryl. You want to do this with us, Cassie? Why not? You guys have no idea. It's okay. That's where I'm trying to Yeah. Okay. There you go. [Music] I'm getting up and for the for those of you who just came in, we're doing a little activity that the board wanted us to do. Uh, so it's not just as chaotic as it looks.
I My life has helped you to always work hard. Today, I'm living my life to the fullest. Thank you for rising with my own area Ariana boss today. Remember when you fall down, get right back up and do it again. Hello, my name is Elizabeth Alexander Mary, otherwise known as Queen Elizabeth. I was born on April 21st, 1926 in Mayfair, London at 2:40 a.m. I'm most known for being the Queen of England. I was born a princess, and as a little girl, I spent most of my time with my two grandparents. In 1930, my baby sister was born, who was also born a princess. My parents decided that they wanted to name her Margaret Rose and we soon became very close. At age 11, I enrolled as a girl guide. I was also a sea ranger, rode horses, and became a very strong swimmer. I loved to study history and law, art and music, and learned French as a young adult.
So they start with US history in eighth grade. They go to modern world in nth grade and then everyone takes US history in 10th grade or or most everyone. Um we have some AP courses in there. This is not the AP course. This is the um regular history class. So the other material that we had was outdated. That publication date was 2003. So we really needed to find something new. This covers from the post civil war through national identity in the United States. They cover also the early 2008, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. As I said, this is um primarily a sophomore level class. So we discussed that textbook. We went on to talk about an algebra 1 resource. We had kept the um board updated on progress with a pilot of an I Ready algebra 1 course. If you recall, we are using I Ready in sixth grade, seventh grade, and eighth grade.
No, you're still stuck with if you took one of the bottom. You would still need the variance, but then it would solve the um it would solve the uh handrail. Okay. If you got rid of the door at the top of the stairs, move it back. That'd be the only thing that would change. Hope you agree. Yeah, right. Um what depth? The the nosing to nosing. I don't actually know if since there's 17 times, I don't think that would work now. There's It should work cuz if you take two steps off the bottom, two bars off the bottom, you add two rises to the top and that would fit in the space that you have. You mean if which version are you talking about? the third version, the the the code compliant proposed version. Oh, right. Right. If you took off, you took off two steps here, you'd add two steps to the top.
We'll finish this activity before we start the regular meeting. We agree to accomplish. I'm ready to We're making That's the only way to tell them about Oh, quickly. So did mine. Yeah. Kate's word was consistency. Stephanie's word was perseverance. Mine was confidence. And we came up with Oh, see. And is it interesting what word we one word we can add to make it work. Yes. I was in a group of two. So we we got our two words put together with the word. How are you doing? I'm good. It's all good. A lot of a lot of stuff been going on. I bet I had something to do with works that way with prayer too, right? Yes. How'd you do? We did all right. So the whole thing is all right. Yeah. Okay. Um, kids just have to hang in with us for just a second more.
I became queen on June 2nd, 1953. My mother stepped off the throne. I have four kids, King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward with my husband, Prince Philip. As I grew older, I started to love pigeon racing and football. I was the only person in the UK allowed to drive without a driver's license. In my life, I accomplished so many things and you can too. Sadly, on September 8th, 2022, I passed away from old age. I lived to be a strong 96-year-old woman and I broke the record for the longest reigning monarch ever in Britain history. I will forever be remembered as a great queen. I hope my speech encouraged and inspired you that you can do and be anything you set your mind to. Thank you for visiting my wax museum. Greetings. My name is Abraham Lincoln. I'd like to tell you about myself.
So, this would be to continue that momentum through the algebra course, which could be taught at DOT. it will also be taught at the high school. So they looked at this algebra textbook for rigor. They looked at the tasks and what they asked students to do. The curricular design aligns with our district definition of highquality instruction. The previous resource we had was big ideas and it gave equal weight to all of the standards across the text when that's not really accurate in the um in the in the I guess the scope and sequence. There are certainly more standards that need heavier weight. So it made sense to have both one program in Ire and it made sense to give exposure at the appropriate time to to each of the standards. Um our the company that we're working with is taking feedback on the resources and they're currently developing the things that we have talked about that we'd need.
That would fit there. These two come off and they basically go there. Even if you got rid of the door. Yeah. Got rid of the door. Yeah. Mhm. You definitely don't want to get rid of the door. Could you build a wall in the basement where you have a door at the bottom of the stairs? Uh, no. Because then that would block the um means of egress on that on that um so you go down. Let's you go or I can show you better than explain it. Yeah. So if you go down, you couldn't do something like this. And then just fill this in with the wall. Then you lose all the opening. Then then you're going through two doors to to this is this is the main uh egress door. Okay. So I mean so then if this door just went this way since nothing's right there and this is the egress door out.
Okay. Hang in there. Did you guys all learn something about yourselves a little bit that you didn't know beforehand? I sat down with two people that I didn't know. Yep. Yeah. You guys were three of you already knew each other sort of the kind of right and you came up with something. Fred and Julie and I and and um Judy were back there. Caroline, who did you sit with? The lovely parent in the back. Okay. So, you only had three words. Yes. And we did a great job, too. Okay. Okay. And Barb, who did you sit with? I was with uh Sherry. Shel. Sherry. Sherry and Cindy. So, you know Cindy, but you didn't know? No. Sherry? Nope. So, we got to know a little bit about each other. And this is this guy is very intense. He's very emotive. He plays on your emotional side.
