Um if you're a board member um you can't so the president can't assign the committees remotely touching them. A board member can't be on any committee that remotely touches the employment of whatever it is that their child of their family member be it uh negotiations be it uh personnel or anything that has that um that that touches upon them. Um then the other thing that's come out recently is board members using the advice of council defense. Um and so there are now um things that must be that you must do if you if a board member is going to use the advice of council defense. And the advice of council defense um doesn't make the violation go away, but it may make the penalty less. So, you could still be found in violation, just the penalty might be less. But if you're going to do use that defense, you have to these are things you have to do.

Is that is that the new company that uh Don't forget to turn your microphone on, Joe. That's the new company that took Efron's office, right? And we had we just had a ribbon cutting ceremony several months ago with respect to that, right? Yes. Okay. So, so I was thinking is that's would we want to and would it even, you know, be appropriate to maybe give them $1,000 for Ashlin residents that they support? I mean, that is selfish. Sure. Well, I I I think that's at least, you know, they're a nonprofit, so we want to help that, but I think it needs to be that it is just for Ashlin residents, right? The funds are being raised to support Ashlin residents. I understand anything we do supports them as an Ashlin business and yes they are a nonprofit but they are still a business and I think we try to we want to support businesses but in this regards I think we have to say it's for Ashland residents to supplement.
Grace Howard looking to chase down the ball. She does. Good work by Grace Howard to come up with it again. Howard behind the net to Crims. Kman gets Crims gets knocked to the ground. She'll get herself an eight meter. Not an 8 meter. She'll be behind. Don't know. Grims with an eight meter. Tough positioning. Try to run it in kid and get yourself a shot off. Cumins runs it in. Gets the ball. Bad check. Criminals will get another attempt. We're down to the final minute of the quarter or final minute of the game. Kman with the trying to get his shot just wide as Lucy Parson's there to back it up. Lucy Parsons with the ball behind up on top on the 12 meter. She's looking to run it in. She turns around, goes by. One, two, three. Takes a shot just high. Just misses just high.
Um they're competitive, but we could potentially get grants to cover the the video cameras and things like that, which would free up some funds if we wanted to explore more fencing around the back. But we just have to kind of keep in mind that fencing is very expensive. It probably would never fully enclose the back of the building or the full property for that matter. Um, and we also have to think about what it would look like to have kind of really tall fencing around an elementary school. Um, but that's a conversation that, um, we had and we're willing to explore further. Um, but to but at this meeting, we just recommended that 4 foot fence um, which was just enough to kind of keep the the littlest ones in their play area. Um, and we have the money in the budget for that. Um, and we also, you know, made a recommendation to apply for those competitive grants to to kind of free up some of those other funds to to maybe explore some more.
Danbury's a lotment was in that three to $400,000 range. Um we're supposed to get it before June 30th. So that's another Yeah. Whether or not it hits the account by then, I would have What is it? Did it come in? 385 334. Did you get it? No, I checked your email. Oh, thank you. I don't have any If I could just add Sorry. It goes all of our excess cost goes to the city. So we we write we get excess cost and we have gotten it every single year it goes to the city. Um and then the city uh can allocate it back to us or put it in our general fund allocation. So I think that is not a direct to the to the board that goes directly to the city. That's a good point. Thank you for clarifying that. So the when you say it goes direct to the the city is there do we know that we would get that in its entirety uh that it would be like acting as a pass through or to you know you know because that's always been a question that has come up in the past is you know how do we know we get the excess cost and stuff like that.
You have to uh ask for and get the advice and follow the advice um before you took the action. Um you the person you ask for the advice from has to be qualified and knowledgeable to do that. Right. Right. You you can't just go ask somebody on the street corner um to do that. um you have to go ask a you know an attorney uh for that uh and that you gave all the important information pertaining to that to that person beforehand and then you actually comply comply with the advice that they gave. Keep in mind that it won't make the violation go away. It may make the penalty less. All right. we but you know board members you're here volunteering and I my I remember as a board member a lot of um volunteering just because you're a board member doesn't mean you can't volunteer you can volunteer you just have to be mindful of a few things you have to be mindful of your involvement with staff and students and how many um and how frequently you're in the building.

Heat. [Music] would now like to announce the 21st century scholar award winners.
Yeah. I mean if you is that appropriate is it for us to put that kind of qualification on it? I mean I think it is but I'm just Yeah, I would say so. I would say so especially when we advertise that the the funding that's being raised by the runners it goes to you know support support Ashland you know groups and organizations and programs. So if we if we alter that and change you'll have everybody and his brother doing the same thing. So I just be careful of it. Okay. It's a good point for go forward. Right. you know, when we're looking at the application again, you know, if you are like say we have nonprofits that um support Ashlin residents, you know, I want to see percentages. I want to see some sort of statistics around like, you know, in what way, how many, etc., etc., so that we can make the appropriate decision.
Avery Morgado there. A Morgato with the ball. She looking to get in there. She flicks the ball over to Grace Howard. Gets disrupted by Awan. Mcknney comes up with the ball with 10 seconds to go in the and the East All Spartans for the second year in a row will be heading to the uh Western Mass Finals. Game will probably be Tuesday night taking on the winner of Minichog versus Awam. Have a good night everyone. [Music]
So, that was it, which I didn't anticipate going into that much detail at this point, even though I said I was going to save it, but less time for later. So, yes, that was that was mostly the summary of it. I have a question for you. Um, for the people on the security task force who work in the building, were they I noticed Dr. Rud is here, but I some of your Dr. He just couldn't be there at that particular meeting. But he's aware of all of these. But are they enthusiastic supporters of this? He was the one that brought it to us. Okay. Because the balls. Okay. And if if you have the pleasure of uh taking a walk over there when the kids are playing, there's five or six groups of kids that are playing at one time with a ball. You know, they're not all on the swing set or in somewhere else.
It's it's um I mean that would be that would have to be worked out with the city. It is it is my hope that we would be you know that was expense that we incurred out of our budget that we get back but you know some sometimes there are situations where school districts um you know need to go to the city to cover some additional costs because they were unanticipated and in that case I would see that the money would come back and stay with the city. But I would you know again this is my first round of of of this. Kelly certainly more familiar with the excess cost formulas and all of that. She does a lot of work in that area and actually does a lot of work to help recoup those costs. How those come to us is um a little more elusive.
You don't want to give direction to staff and students and you don't want to have you be in the building so much that people think you're actually managing the building. And I see your next coming in. These are just some different what might be a violation or not. Uh a a volunteer coach could be a violation because you you're giving direction to staff and students. However, um if you're going in to do ReadAcross America or to a you know, be a class parent in for a party. That should not be that likely would not be a violation. Um, and then the last sticky wicket, we're almost done, so I apologize to all your um is social media, right? Um, you you you never lose your first amendment rights, but you have to be mindful uh of your position as a school as an elected school official.

So, and they she does say that they have received some um applicants from MASH already. I I think by the way, I think she's no relation to me, by the way. Okay. I don't know. I don't even know her. So, I just remember that her last name is a motion to give neurodyiversity support for children $1,000 in this grant round. I'll second that. I'll make the motion. I'll second it. Okay. All those in favor? I I And with the understanding that if they want to come back, they need to show how it was used for Ashlin residents. Yep. Okay. Uh, one more, I think. Yes. Yep. 34. Page 34. Yeah. So this is veterinary chapency services. Um and so we had previously given given them a grant um I think a year ago 4,000. Okay. And they used they used it for um doing a basically a um a support line for people to be able to call and for them to be able to staff when people have pets um that are either sick or have passed away and they're um it's like um chaplency for for folks who are grieving um the loss of a pet.
And there's always a ball, you know, rolling that way. And it's just a bit of a drop off into a wooded area. And it's just a waste of their recess time to have to go chase that. We want to get that up there. We even talked about plantings rather than uh you know kind of arbitraries or something like that and we decided to go with the fence. Um any other questions? Okay. So uh special policy and communications that is that you? Yep. Great. Um so it was actually our rescheduled policy meeting. So um it was all our previously scheduled things that we were going to talk about. You'll see tonight um bylaw 9211 and policies 35 24.1 and 3120 are on for a final read. I'll go into those in a second. Um those have all been on agendas for a first read and we had really actually kind of minor um logistical questions about them that we needed uh Casey and um SNG to answer.
Whether or not they say, "Well, we'll give it to you, you know, next year or that was part of your allocation. I don't know. That's something we'll have to work out with the city." So it's nothing that we can to your point Teresa what you're getting at is nothing that we could you know basically re you know it's nice to think it's something that may happen in the future but it's questionable whether it would actually come in you know for for user Kelly go ahead the city has always taken the stance that our excess cost is given to us through our general budget our general allocations. Many other places it is a separate funding source that is meant for excess cost of special ed. So those unanticipated placements that Mike is referring to potentially you might have litigation things of that nature. You might have a contracted service.
Uh, and so when there is Hi. For all of our guests that are coming in, just please be advised we're in the middle of a presentation.

And when we first um talked to them, we were talking about, you know, possible ways that they can connect to Ashlin. So, I had put Cali in touch with um with Candy at the senior center because I had said like, you know, it could be a good connection to help our seniors if they have a pet that passes away. Um it might be a good support for them. I I don't think that there was a connection quite that happened. And so there really hasn't been a lot of work done specifically in Ashland. She lives in Ashland. Um and she's been kind of connected to like Ashlin Animal Hospital, but there's no kind of focus on how to connect with with the residents with the residents with Ashlin res. Yeah. She's talked about um you know maybe doing some work with the senior center like and and that that would be a way and that she has done some work.
