Because it's your boss. So if you name school buildings after her, you might get a better position or if you if it's an elected official, then you might one, you know, for something else. It might help you. Um and so they've uh school ethics commission did um recommend a censure of that of that board member. Through advisory opinions over the years, the school ethics commission has continues to define what a family member is, who a family member is, and what that relationship is. uh you see who an an immediate family member um is pretty straightforward, but then you get into who's considered a relative and then you it goes and and these are all come came up from either advisory opinions um or um ethics complaints. Um, so again, everything's very fact-specific. Um, and and um, in the what what you I handed out your BA has is an actual list of who's considered conflicted.
Just to give you a little bit of background about the scholarship and who my father was. My dad was definitely the life of any guy. He knew no stranger and would help anyone even if it meant giving a shirt off his back. He entered the workforce upon graduation in 1987. Worked at a local factory for 25 plus years and then found his dream job. In the winter of 2018, I was working as a member of the maintenance staff here at Community High School. A little over 2 years later, we discovered what ultimately took his life. When asked what he could if he could do it all over again, he said he would either enter or back into the military or would go to a trade school. This is why we decided to give back to the community that helped us during those tough two years.
And we gave a variety of awards to our students for their hard work, their leadership in their classroom, their scholastics, also in their athletics. But one thing I want to highlight is we also gave scholarships to those graduating seniors for a variety of things. This year's graduating class at Edison High School has earned in scholarships to further their education in the amount of $2,491,000. That is what's going to be distributed to our graduating seniors this year for them to use that for their furthering their education. I'm astounded by that that we are able to give that much in scholarships with what we have in foundations, dollars for scholars, 21st century and other programs that provide scholarships to our students. So, I just wanted to point that out to you and congratulate those graduating seniors for their scholarship winnings. Thank you, Mr. President. Miss Peipa, I have a a couple closing announcements for myself.
Okay. So, basically, um they say if we have 70 kids that she can state for certain that 25 of those kids are at least from Ashland that that participate. So, it's a more of a regional thing, but it is um there's a lot of participation for national. She's a national resident. So, um we've we've supported that in the past, but it was held nationally. So, and you said 75 students, 75 students. How many students in total participate? 70. 70. 70 students participate. And she says about 25 are from Oh, 25 are from Ashlin. So, do do we I'm sorry, Madam Chair. I I have a question. Do do we know why they relocated to Framingham as opposed to uh staying in Ashlin? there was an issue with getting the high school field. Um they had worked with DPW and there was a lot of back and forth trying to make sure that the date was open um because the schools have sort of precedent over priority over over the over the fields.
Ball gets flicked up. Addy Jordan there to shield the ball. She gets hit in the [Music] face as number Isabella Spalding will spend two minutes in the yellow chair. Jordan with the ball. Gets the ball up to Pelier. Pelier to Billingsworth. Over to Parsons. Over to Crims. Over to Mckne. Over to Jordan to Pelleter to Illingsworth. Behind a net to Parsons. Parsons to Crims. Kne there to pick it up. Looks like Eon's setting up a play. Kek goes by one, gets the ball to Parsons. Parson just has one left. She turns around, flicks the ball up. Nobody there. Good work by Crims to chase it down. Crim gets the ball behind the net. Crim with the ball behind the net. Gets the ball to Jordan. Jordan pulls the ball back. Gets the ball to Makney up on top. Niss will reset. Kneellet. Nice feed to Illingsworth.
One area of improvement in particular is the need to build off algebra one and we need to make sure we revisit and ensure that these skills are reinforced each year. Deb Farrius mentioned that a lot of vertical alignment work will be upcoming using the data from these trends. We did receive a preliminary report of the Connecticut spring SAT results which is also in your board docs. We've reviewed and the proposed CLES schedule for next year. Um you could see that memo in your board docs. So basically there's two large blocks of academic time. um 110 to 115 minutes in the morning and 110 to 115 minutes in the afternoon. 70 to 75 minutes will be for math. 70 75 minute 70 to 75 minutes will be for ELA and science and social studies will be given the remaining time which is about 25 to 30 minutes.
And then the very next month, we were down to I maybe two or 3 million because you made entries. And now, you know, we're talking, you know, hadn't we had in6 a negative -2. So those are big fluctuations in the normal situation. You know, in a normal situation, you'd say, "Wow, you know what happened? We didn't plan for this." But but you know, we had planned for the cleanup either. So, as we're getting toward this, you know, we're trying to get to a point where at least Mike is making a statement that to the best of his knowledge, you know, he's got things that that he's he's encumbered or acrewed and and the unforeseen other stuff relative to its materiality is small. Yeah. But, you know, it's nice that we keep getting these windfall credits. It's it's very helpful. Um on the Does anybody have any more questions on on the grant schedule?
We call it being conflicted. We used to put it on the slide, but it's so you can't really read it. So, you just have to be mindful of what you can and can't do if you have a family member um as listed here uh on uh in your fa in your you know as when you're a board member. So, we all know that as a board member or a school official, you can't hire a relative of a board member or your superintendent. However, they could already be here when you get on the board or in in the case of a superintendent, it could be that uh their family member, they work side by side or in two different grades or whatever it was and then that person's made superintendent. Then they don't have to fire their relative and you don't have to not take a seat on the board because your relative is here.
We chose to go a scholarship awarded to a student that had wanted to continue their education but not go to a 4-year college. We would like to ask the winner of the second annual Brian Bobby Memorial Scholarship to Cody Hayes in amount of $1,000. [Music] Good morning and uh congratulations seniors. My name is Dennis Collins, class of 57 High School. Uh, I'm here. My brother and I played in the high school band. And in honor of doing that, there's a scholarship for Dennis and Paul Wayne Collins. And this goes to William Cunningham today. And my brother graduated in ' 69. He ran track and he ran cross country. He held a few track records for a few years. and they were broken later on. And in honor of him, Paul Collins truck scholarship goes to Olivia Grimes. Congratulations to the class of 2025. Haven't heard that said too much, but it's never said too many times.
Um, one is congratulations to all the students. It's always a great joy to see all the wonderful things that you're doing and for you to be recognized for your hard work and dedication. So, thank you very much and thank you to the teachers that are sponsors and and helping our students achieve success. Um, I'd also like to thank everyone for the mug and the goodies that we received. That was very nice. Um, thank you, Mr. Music, for being the president today. I appreciate you stepping in and the other board members for being here today. Um, I'd like to congratulate Mrs. Scartosi for her retirement. Uh, the the years you have put in. You have touched thousands of lives and thank you so much for all your hard work. I um, congratulations to the seniors. That's amazing that they earned that much money throughout all the scholarships and them researching what's available out there and submitting their applications and and having the grades and the and the scholarship of um community and so forth that it takes to to earn those scholarships.
So I think it was a stressful situation. And when is this is in July. don't have the well they might have summer program they schools have summer programs and so um but given given the information that she provided I I'm think it's something that we can my I personally feel like it's something we should support we should support okay um Claudia do you feel so yeah I I agree 100% I think that you know that it is actually a significant number of Ashlin children and Um you know all in all it let's face it it even if we want to explore how we should fine-tune the policy that's fine but but certainly this is not a waste of money right it's supporting ch local children and certainly there's a good portion that that and it's a multicultural like yeah it's a Okay. Yeah. I think they're doing other fundraising.
Illingsworth. Nice try. She tries to go fake high and go low. Nice save by the Awam goalie to to stop it. Awam looking to start their offense now. But the Rock with the ball. Lorac over to Constantini. Constantini with room to operate. She's met by Jordan and Agu throws the ball out of bounds. Pet it there to Petit there to get the ball in. Over to Holly.

Constantini over to Crebble. A just having a tough time holding on to that ball. And that's the one person they don't want to get it. Abby Jordan as she'll make headway up. So many gets the ball over to Peliter. Pelliter to Crims. Crims behind the net.
Um the support teachers will really need to help with pacing and the science and social studies time especially for our fifth grade teachers. Um it will be a big shift for the fifth grade teachers because typically um in the past the math teachers um just taught their content area and they'll need the math teachers will need to teach science and social studies now. And also fifth grade teachers um have not done standardsbased reporting so they'll need support doing that. Mr. Bland gave us a breakdown of number of students enrolled as of that day in each of the French classes for next year. So they are as follows. So, French one, there's 10 students. French two, 27 students. French three, two, French two, honors, 21 students. French three 11 students. French three honors 17 students. French four cinema, forget the exact name of it, uh, is about 20 students.
My only question there is one quick is that health credit a repetitive one as well a yearly one that we typically receive. Um I it's the first that I know about. I've been here for two years, so I can't say it's um I have too much history, but um it's the first one that we've had this year certainly. Um and I don't know um we've had it before. I remember the other one. Yeah. Yeah. You remember one? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, interesting. I find you I've never heard of that. So, but that's interesting. um winter because it's one of those things you can't totally count on it. So it's No, no, I understand and I wasn't here at the time so I wasn't you know to what was coming in but it it was interesting that that you know I was surprised pleasantly surprised.
um you it you it just limits what you can do as a board member uh in and in in different authorities that you have. Uh the administrator can't exercise any direct or indirect authority over their family member. A board member cannot take part in the employment any employment matters concerning your superintendent or any supervisor in the chain of command from your relative to the superintendent. So that limits what you can do. If it's a teacher, then it might be the principal all the way on up that as a board member, you would have to recuse yourself and not be part of that discussion. And as a board member, if you have a family member, um if you're per chance looking for a new superintendent, you can't take part in that search. You can't uh take part in the selection or vote to hire the new superintendent.
I'm Linda V, James V's uh widow. Um Jim, who graduated from Greensburg High School, he graduated from Purdue in aeronautical engineering. got hired by McDonald Douglas and he worked as a engineer on space program under the space program and he made some things for the Apollo spaceship which he was very proud of. He never would tell you unless you knew and then he would talk about it. After that he was drafted by the army went to California and wrote the computer programs for the um air force army uh combination in California. After he got out of service, he came back to Greensboro, became um an electrician along with his father and he died at the age of 50 of cancer. And in that memory, I established the Greensburg or James A. Vogue scholarship fund. is for uh $2,100 and it goes to Joseph Y. [Music] Good morning.
So, congratulations to them. Uh I would also like to congratulate Mrs. Flanigan. It it has not been an easy year. We know um you've had to uh uh double time a lot. Um I believe you may be able to get 20 minutes of sleep this evening. So, thank you so much for all your time and congratulations to you. It's it it's welld deserved and we're excited for the next school year. Uh and I'd also like to congratulate all the new hires. We have um exciting things happening in our school district and we welcome everyone to our Lake Station family. So, thank you all for being here. This is fantastic. I hope everyone comes out next month and we appreciate you being here. Thank you. So, um just just keep in mind it's never too early to start thinking about those scholarships. As we said, over $2 million worth of scholarships.
Yeah, I would think that and it's not a requirement of ours that they that they find other funding, but I I understand your question, Joe. Okay. So, you guys are recommending we do the full 4,000 for them. If I can get a motion. Um, yes, 4,000 to support the full 4,000 for sportified. So, moved. Seconded. All those in favor? Okay. So, we'll add Fortified for a receivable of their grant. Next one. Again, you know, just as we're going through this and we come up, you know, somebody offers a good suggestion, maybe the policy, we add a question that says, where are you where are you getting funds from or where have you sought fun? Well, there was a question. Yeah. Yeah. I think at in some in some form I remember we turned this into a two-pager and that was asked. I don't know if that's I don't think that's the form being used anymore.
Nice move. Keep going with it. Turn around. Emma Crims shoots high. Goalie is there to make a nice save for the Awam goalie. Bagwam looking to get the ball over their restraining line. Gets to Constantini. Constantini feathers a pass into Crabel. Crabel's looking to do a move. She turns around, kicks the ball all the way out. Now Spalding with the ball. Crab it looking to get a pass off the post. Au just you don't have any luck. They all they have is bad luck [Music] today. Ball goes all the way back to the restraining line. Eggan will restart their offense. Mahoney over to Gavani. Oh, back to Mahoney. Back to Gavani looking for a cutter. That's a tough pass in all that uh traffic. Kylie Marino looking to shield the ball, hoping to get a ball out of bounds. Didn't quite make it out of bounds.
So, the plan to cover that 2 since we cut that um, is to combine French three and French three honors, which would be 28 students. So, that's what they're doing now. Yeah, which is pretty much what they're doing now. So, um, there. Yeah, there's more than 28 right now. Yeah. Yeah, there is 30 something. That's a little bit more manageable. 28. So, hopefully the hopefully we keep an eye on that number. That would be important. Um, and then there was some miscellaneous discussion.
