Congratulations. Have a good night. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. I don't like Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. How did you get here? Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. I found something. [Music] Thank you so much. Heat. Heat. This is validictori.
We're going to go ahead and get started. Korean school district understands that our community of schools is located on the ancestral land of the Alam Jud and Akima Ootham people who descended from the hookum and have inhabited these lands since time and memorial. The OM whose name translates literally to people are a vibrant culture in communities founding countless generations into the past continuing to thrive in the present and carrying a powerful legacy for generations into the future. With this acknowledgement, the Kraton School District formally recognizes that the traditional care in keeping of these lands by indigenous people is an aspirational model of community stewardship that we are committed to honor with practices, policy, and human relations. And Mr.

Um, good evening. I'd like to call the June 3rd uh meeting of the Ashland Board of Health to order. Um, so the first thing on our agenda is citizen participation. Do we have anybody for citizen participation? Check my line. Nothing. Um CC, do you want to come up to the mic? Good evening everybody. CC Ducet, 31 Fatima Drive. And some of us have met in the past talking about the biological effects of today's wireless technology. Some of you know that Ashlin Public Schools became the first in the nation to take precautionary steps with radio frequency to turn things off when we're not using them and create maximum distance from something that's radiating. And then we also had become the first in the United States to put a radio frequency radiation detection meter on loan. Um Upton just put one in to their circulation as well.
My name is Lou Daniels. I'm the chair of the board of education. I just want to welcome all the children and parents and grandparents and relatives here from uh Canton Elementary School. Um this is our final uh Canton celebrates and we're so glad that everybody's here. This is actually the highlight of what we do as board of education members. Most of the time our meetings are with just us and nobody in the audience. So, it's great to see people out there. We're actually going to do something a little bit different. We're going to move you up in the agenda so the kids can get home, eat their dinners, and do things like that. So, the first thing we're going to do is I'm going to call this meeting to order of the board of education for June 3rd, 2025.
Man, can you lead us into the pledge of allegiance, please? I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of Americ call. We have Miss Ays and Miss Gibson McClean, myself, Mr. Jones, and Marquez present. We want to welcome everyone to tonight's meeting and remind the audience of the request to address board cards that must be completed and submitted to the board secretary if they wish to speak to an agenda item. Board policy provides for two cards, white cards to be submitted in order to speak to an agenda item and blue cards to be submitted in order to speak during public comments. Due to open meeting law, board members are not allowed to address items that are not on the agenda. This is per policy BEDH. That brings us to 2A, approval of agenda. I move the governing board approve the agenda as presented.
here. And actually, I think this is the first house we've uh we've done. And uh I think this is the first uh new construction that the trust has been involved in. Yeah. And uh unfortunately, it's the Ashland Affordable Trust. Uh we'd like to change the name someday maybe to the uh Ashland Workforce Housing Trust, but uh that's up to the state of Massachusetts, not us. But uh we're excited about this project. It's taken a long time, long history on this property as a bunch of other folks have mentioned, but thanks to David's efforts and connecting uh the owners of the property, uh the trust and uh Habitat for Humanity without David's efforts, we wouldn't be here today, but it's great that we are here and we're excited to see this project uh get started. So, when you say, you know, housing for workforce, like what do you mean by that?

Pittsfield has one. others around the state and the country are doing the same because it's an invisible exposure. I own a couple of these meters, so I will extend this offer again. If you'd like to borrow this one and take it home with you and do a scavenger hunt to see what your radiation levels look like, I would be happy to leave that if anyone's interested. Um, but there's a couple of really important things that have come out recently. The first being that the World Health Organization has partially funded a study that concluded that there is high certainty of evidence linking cell phone radio frequency radiation to two types of cancers in animals. It's called the effects of radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies by medicine at all 2025. and it's linking it to glomomas in the brain and malignant schuanomomas in the heart.
And I'm going to ask everybody to stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, as I said, we're going to move the agenda. I'm going to ask the board of education for a motion to move um Canton celebrates which is 5A to move that to right now before public comment. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Peggy. Second. Thank you, Erica.
May I have a second? Second. All those in favor? I. Any nays? Hearing none. Motion passes. And that brings us to 3A, governing board reports. Miss Ays, I'll go ahead and start with you.
So, uh, you know, unfortunately when folks think affordable, they think, uh, low income and, uh, folks that are in in dire straits, uh, the affordable trust and the affordable programs in the state, uh, are income and credit driven. So, you have to have good credit scores and a good job. Uh and there are certain guidelines in terms of income, but Ashlin being in the Boston district set up by HUD, uh the income qualifications are substantial. Uh a goodsized family can make close to six figures and qualify. Unfortunately, we don't have the inventory, but uh that's what we're working on and uh this uh this project here is is a good start towards that. And uh it's a good program and we're we're proud to be members of the trust. Coming up with some community events at the Corner Spot, we have Pups on the Spot and the summer kickoff.

Notably, the same types of tumors have also been obser observed in human studies, adding significant confidence that the associations observed in human studies are real. And then some of you being a board of health may have read the uh Make America Healthy for Our Children Assessment Report that came out of the federal level this past month. And you'll see on page 38 what that when we're talking about the exposure pathways for uh items in our environment that are making our children and us sick. you will see that under um physical agents there's electromagnetic radiation right next to microlastics exposures to Wi-Fi, mobile phones, 5G and so on. So the message of course is not no technology, it's safe technology and we know how to do that. We've kind of been wooed into this all Wi-Fi all the time era and now it's time to bring that pendulum back to the middle and say how can we have amazing technology without the radio frequency radiation risks and it's not rocket science to fix on the back of all of our routers on the underbelly of all of our wireless access points there are Ethernet ports all you need to do is drop a wire down to task level and then hook things up through a cable and turn off the radiation, but we do need to have a meter because with 5G and the internet of things, the industry is forecasting that we will all have 200 devices wirelessly connected in our homes.
Any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? I. Great. So, as I promised, Mr. Ramy, do you want to kick this off? Dr. Mr. Amry, you want to come up and introduce us to all the wonderful children from Cherry Brook Primary School? All right. Thank you, Mr. Daniels, Dr. Gman, Board of Education, and Cherry Brook families and children. Welcome. Um before I begin recognizing our Cherry Brook friends for our June um can't celebrates, I just want to update um the community on a wonderful project we we finished. Um through my communication, you're probably aware that we had a wonderful partnership um and much gratitude to G Arts Council for their support for funding um a mural project for our entire school community. And yesterday we had a revealing and I believe Karen's going to show what our mural looks like and it's our learning comments.
Um, good evening everyone. Um, I'm not sure I have much of a report tonight. I'm exhausted because I'm still working. Um, and I hope had to get closer to the mic. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Um, I hope that people are enjoying their break. Um, and that's pretty much all. Thanks. Thank you, Miss Gibson McLean. I do not. Happy summer. Uh, I don't really have anything else to say. Awesome. Thank you so much, Mr. Jones. Since I missed the last meeting, I just wanted to mention uh how happy I was to be able to participate in the uh eighth grade graduation ceremonies at Ma Vista and Builtmore Prep. Uh thanks for fitting me in at the last minute. Uh but it was very exciting to see all our eighth graders, you know, graduating and then moving on to other academic endeavors. and I hope we've set them up for success.

So, I just came tonight to bring an update on what's happening in the science and to offer my services. I've become something of a national international public speaker expert on this. I would love to partner with our board of health and with our schools and with Keith Keith Tech. Ed, I know you serve over there as well. Thank you. Um, and with your nursing background, I know you've conferred with me about this over the years, too. Let's just get the education going because tonight children could be sleeping much more safely in a sleep sanctuary in their own bedrooms without being bombarded with man-made radio frequency microwaves.
