It's a fiveyear projection. Yeah. Not bad time to do it considering we just effectively are instituting our strategic plan which has a similar kind of time frame. And keep in mind though with these developments how they go. You know, we talk about developments and you know there's a chance it might not necessarily pass muster with the city council. So or maybe it takes longer or maybe you know they don't build them all as quickly or you know there's a whole host of factors that come to bear a whole host of assumptions that you have to make. So, um, even with a forecast, a lot can change and that can go the other way, too. They can sell them faster than they expect. So, all right. Any other questions? Okay. I will entertain a motion to authorize a contract with RSP and Associates for enrollment and facility planning services in the total amount of $33,100.
So each time that student is on the individualized pathway, they should be moving along and you want to see them staying along their growth target or exceeding it. Um, and it will make adjustments or it will give the teacher recommendations that they should also be doing in small group. So I that was one of my things that I drove home a lot was like I like the small amount of time throughout the week that kids are actually using um pathways in comparison to Moby Max Ice Station don't give any guidance about how long students should be on those programs. Um, and so therefore, I think our teachers, no fault of theirs, they think the more students is on it, the more helpful that is. But what we know is kids get burned out on these just like on games or any other thing. If we have them on it every day, it gets boring and now they're not trying their best.
So, either way, it's going to the administrative procedure manual. I'm going to read this again and so it's the right way. Yep. Okay. May I have a motion to approve to add policy 340E exhibit checklist for the superintendent employment contract negotiation process to the administrative procedure manual as presented. I guess that is an amendment, right? A motion to amend, I guess, is correct to move it to the I guess we can leave it. I don't know. I guess I'm just complicating. I mean, I think we should just leave it and because all of them are going to have to get moved over, right? If we vote this if we vote the original motion down, it's just going to go to the AP anyway. Yeah. I just want to clarify too, this is a new one because that has to be clarified as well. So, I wonder if Mr.
Thomas looks at this from a different perspective of the exhibits than we do as members of the board because Dr. Thomas is required to then go out and implement whatever it is that's here. Whereas we just say, "Okay, the policy looks good. We need this exhibit or whatever." And the expectation is I guess on your side is that then that exhibit is used and everything and then the community would expect that to be used and all of that. And um but on our side we're getting mixed. There's not really an answer for what the exhibit means for us, right? We know, we understand now what it means for admin, but what it means for us has always been reference and or guidance and and that I'm just going to read to the board just really fast because I'm just so done arguing. I just want the board to understand that this is from ISB.
So, I think if there's a way that we could figure out how to do it without costing these small groups money, I'm all about it. Yeah. And it could be just a review from our business group. And all of that is perfect. this a business, you know, they can they can kind of look at and say, "Hey, you know, this is a without holding the district accountable, right? They can look at it. They can have the the I know the financial burden and a lot of these things are covering like these boosters are covering things for people who can't afford them. So then they've got to cut back on." So just a way to to keep it financially easier on everyone. Okay. So that's great. So, you want to get with the superintendent over the next no rush, you know, it can be maybe, you know, by September or whatever.
I guess that's the last Nice cut. Fouled back. One. That ball's high. Well struck ball to right field. Right fielder. Nice job. Able to range and get under that well struck ball. That's that's Gork out there in uh right field. If it's not, I apologize. Whoever it was, it was a great catch. Ranging over about 10, 15 yards to his right. Oh, bat is number 18 for Hopkinson. Have two outs. Runner on second. Foul tip. Nice pitch. Came in nice and low. Two strikes. That's a high struck ball. First baseman out. It's going to fall in no man's land and a runner's going to score. I think the right fielder, second baseman or first baseman weren't all quite sure who to go after that. The ball ended up dropping right in there and very short outfield. Second baseman got a good jump right on the head.
Um, you can you could build a house in carpentry and go through all those steps, but if you can't explain why you're doing certain things and you're just following instructions, it's not the deep learning that we want to get get to. Also, especially in the counseling side and the CTE side, um really making sure that kids are informed decision makers for their future. Um so beyond yes they have their career area but what are all their options like really feeling ready and confident to do that. Um the other piece literacy practices we know that that's a need. Um and we know that literacy through the content is the way to go um at the high school level. So that's going to be a part of this um and we're also looking at broader off access to varied coursework um in CTE and academics. So, so that's where we're at right now.
Thank you. And lastly, Bryson Bizuki. Bryson. Bryson shows us the power of humility and leadership. With quiet confidence and an unshakable work ethic, he consistently demonstrates excellence not just in academics but in how he treats every person with dignity and care. Bryson, your leadership is a gift to this school. [Applause] Congratulations. And the last award, the last award is the high expectations award presented by Mrs. Roxanna Rico. All right. This award is a very special award. It is the High Expectations Award um that grants one of our eighth graders $1,000 for their freshman year of college and $1,000 for their second year of college. So, it'll be waiting for them. I'd like to call up Miss Marisella Seran, please. Marisella truly embodies excellence in every sense of the word. She has shown remarkable growth not just in academics but as a whole person over the years.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is your opportunity. Um if you have any questions or would like to raise anything, I'll come on up, please. Buenosardes. Good afternoon. Uh this year my goal was to get more involved in everything that is school related uh for the benefit of my grandchildren and if every time I have a question I ask Google. So here I am. Arizona. Thank you. So she asked Google, what's the salary of the average salary of a teacher in Arizona? This is what Google said. Uh teacher in Arizona as of May uh 8, 2025, the annual salary average is $43,416. And if you need a calculator uh to simple calculations, this equal to approximately $20.80 80 cents per hour and also $834 per week or 3,618 a month. Um, so as I learn more about the budget and how it works in Arizona.
Um, to be honest, I didn't want to take it freshman year. It was put on my schedule as an alternate elective, but when I took it, it made me have a passion for film production. So, not only do you have to have a passion to do it when you go into the program or going into it, if you go into the program and see the good stuff that they do, you can develop a passion for it. And now that that is being taken away, not only do the people that have a passion for this program, do they get a chance to be a part of that in a school setting, but also you're taking away people's chances of exploring what they want to do if they might be interested in the future. Um also um we do have a very diverse um set of people in our classes.
So, moved. Motion by Rob. Second. Second by Aaron. Cindy, please lead us in a roll call vote. Yes. Yes. Meadows? Yes. Sligger? Yes. Yes. Gonzalez Thomas? Yes. Motion passes. All right. Item 8.3, software approval. Mr. Newkerk, would you like to walk us through? This is a a three-year contract that we're seeking for just over um $25,000, which is the threshold for the board and or a multi-year contract. So, this is taking two pieces of software that we currently have to help facilitate things in the district and moving them to one company that has better usability. So, we have a system that we use for um managing professional development within uh the district. So, We run an institute day or things that teachers earn uh credits for. So PD credits for which they need for their license renewal. So every four years or so I have to renew my license.
And so that's why I Ready is really key about not having kids on it a lot or often every day so they can continue to be engaged with it. So those lessons update themselves. So if you have a kid that's right below benchmark, right, and within two or three sessions he or she achieves that, the next lesson they take in week four will be enrichment essentially, right? So that automatically happens without any correct. So in the personalized platform, they have to pass and show that mastery in that lesson in order for it to go up to the next one. So it's not just like a click click through type of experience. It it is differentiated to meet the needs and level with the student. So there's an incentive to actually engage. I guess you could call it a bit of a game, right? Yes. Right.
Darling, I wonder if we go back to the original motion and then Yeah, I just keep Laura's pen flying over there. Sorry. May I have a motion to approve to add policy 340E exhibit checklist to the superintendent for the superintendent employment contract negotiation process to the policy manual as presented. Not to not to get into the but you already have the Yeah. Any further discussion hearing? None. If we take a vote. Katherine Potter, yes. Stacy Salt, yes. Julie Jetty. Yes. Hold on. Don't we want to vote no for this to go to the to go to the It would go to the AP. To the AP. I'm voting yes to put it in the policy manual. Okay. And it'll go there anyway. All right. Jason Chans, no. Bridget Sandlin, yes. Darling, no. Mindy Herman, no. And the motion is approved. Uh, next up is the approval of policy 450 payment procedure.
This is why um just this is a board policy manual, right? not AP or anything, but this is what they're saying about exhibits versus uh admin procedures, right? Board exhibits include forms and other information that a board may wish that a board may wish to use or consult in support of their implementation of board policies. It is at a board's discretion whether or not to include such exhibits in its board policy manual. Administrative procedure exhibits support the work of the administration in its implementation of board policy and they should be dated by the appropriate administrative staff for implementation. It doesn't I know that doesn't clarify anything for anybody other than exhibits are to be used at our discretion. Right. I'm going to that's right to consult. That's my takeaway is that the may in that first sentence, right? Why not have the information there um when the seven of us have moved on, right?
Okay. Yeah, I got it. Okay. Bring back to the board. And board members, if you have any questions or anything you would like to have changed, shoot it to Jamie. You are you are a policy person. I don't think And you get paid and you get paid $500 a year if I do. I mean, you just haven't got the money yet. Oh, okay. I didn't plan on taking it either. So, go. All right. All right. Great. Okay. Thank you, council, for getting that back to us. And that was very hopeful hopeful helpful when I saw it and appreciate it. Okay. Any other old business? I have one. It was just to see if there was any other names uh to submit from any of the districts regarding the um the name of the facilities. Otherwise, we can uh try again next time. Can I email you?
Was able to score snap for it on the first base. wasn't able to catch the runner. Number 12 at bat for Hawin. I don't know who it is. Was able to get a nice hit into center field. That's a good base hit just in the shallow center field. The ball just made it into the grass. Kind of died for a base hit. Hard hit ground ball. Second baseman fumbles it. Gets it to first and gets the out. Nice job. Nice job to get out of the inning. Good play there on uh second base able to stay with that ball. Didn't get it at first, but then able to pick it up. Great throw to first base and he got the out. So Hopkins able to put one run on the board. I think they're up to 15 now. Has a little bit of work to do here.
We basically this time of year we have it's it's a it's a tricky time for admin. Well, for everyone in schools because it's we have one foot in this year, we have another foot in next year. Um and as we get closer to the end of the year, um we're we're starting to really ramp up our planning for next year. Um and um you know, a lot of that work is going to be um rolled out during the summer. um we're going to have teams that are going to come in and work on different pieces of this and be ready for the fall. So, um so we'll be looking forward to coming back um next school year and giving you updates on where we are with all of this.

Okay. Thank you. [Applause] Congratulations. I think we're about ready, boys and girls. Now for the promotion of the class 2025. Please welcome Continental School Board President, Mr.
I want to make sure that we put our efforts and monies to support the salary of the teachers because as a parent when I have three to four kids, I'm really unhappy sometimes. And so as a teacher to have 20 to 30 students, I want to make sure that they're happy so they do their job correctly. Fore. Another budget priority that I would like to see is um efforts to support sports. Um recently I went at Excalencia and they had a game and the students have good uniforms but I would like to make sure that the uniforms were up to part. Also there was no shading and all of the students as they were waiting for the game they were look like little sardines in a can trying to be in the shade. So that will be another budget priority. Gracias. Thank you guys. Gracias.
People with different opinions, religious opinions, disabled people, we have every one in that class. Mr. Clones welcomes you no matter what you are. And again, we've won awards. We have filmed many videos for the school for promotion, for just everything. And taking this class away from people just seems like you're taking away their home because clones made that class a second home to people. And I would just like to thank him for doing what he's done. And yeah, I think you guys should reconsider um cutting the program. Um I think that it means a lot to a lot of people and I think that people would really benefit from taking that class. Thank you, [Applause] Nathan. I want to thank everybody that spoke to uh the board tonight. Um it's not easy to get up and speak in front of people, but I appreciate the passion that you uh that you bring to uh our meeting and thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
