Um this is u really quite honestly it's it's a it's a nice inexpensive way for us to once again take a step towards school safety. It will also count as part of our matching for school safety grant as well. So it can be used at that aspect. >> Is this per building? >> No. No. This is corporation. >> So what are they going to scan? They'll have they'll have their own stand. >> Yeah. Each of our each of our u entrances to the buildings will have iPad that will be sitting there and they'll scan it on with the camera on the iPad >> on the outside of the building. >> Uh, no, in the office, it'll be in the office. >> So, they're going to get in the building. >> They'll still get in the building. Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately, that's case. Now, the other thing too that's really nice as well is that like let's say Josh does it the first time and as a parent, he doesn't then have to go back through and he can just say, "Hey, I'm coming to the school." And it will go through and make him do all that stuff again.
And so we did a study over the past 10 years and looked at our graduates and what they were doing. And we found that 80% of our students uh ended up getting a degree in either a science or a healthc care field. And then 75% of those actually came back to live and work in the Evansville area. So that's an amazing testament to it. Um, as Dr. Hoover said, we are expanding a facility at the back of Central High School. Um, this is going to give us a couple of different opportunities uh for our program and the first is um doubling the capacity of of the ASM to up to 500 students which I think there we are already seeing growth in our enrollment and this is an opportunity for us to serve more students. Um, another opportunity for us is to uh give students access to more advanced technology and scientific instruments.
It's a place where every child belongs and every adult shows up as a friend, an advocate, and a champion. So, the last few school years, Katrina and I have had a staff theme. So, last year, you may remember it was I'll be there for you, the friends TV show theme. And this year our theme is You've Got a Friend in Me, which is very fitting fitting for our 30th anniversary of the beloved Disney Pixar film Toy Story. You can see some of our quotes that we shared with the staff earlier this year here. And in the film, if you haven't seen it, the toys exist for one purpose, that's to be there for their kid. And they wait patiently. They show up consistently, and they give their best, even when it goes unnoticed. They go on absolutely wild adventures, coming up with creative solutions and relying on one another to achieve success just to be able to be there when their kid needs them the most.
>> Any questions board regarding the RFP on the devices? >> Okay, thank you Mr. Harsha. Moving into action items 3.01 01 approval of the request for RFP for the mental health service. Miss Miss Newire. >> Yes, I'm back. Um good evening. Um I at this point in time would like to request an RFP in order for us to post for um a you know potential and hopefully have a vendor for our school-based mental health services. >> All right. I'll entertain a motion for the approval of requests for the mental health service RF. >> Second. >> Who wants it? Second. All right. Properly moved, Miss Lawrence, and seconded, Miss Dunn. Um, any other final questions or comments before we move to vote. All right. All in favor of the approval for the request for RFP for mental health services, say I. >> I.
So, good evening everyone. And once again, Mr. Hill and I thank you uh for this opportunity to spotlight what our kids at Delo School have been up to so far this year. Uh we thought that we would start tonight's presentation with just a quick overview of some of the typical things that we continue to do at DLO school. And this slide kind of outlines the DLO school traditions and events that we've spotlighted in previous years that we continue to do such as student of the month assemblies, literacy events like our annual pumpkin book character and bookmark design contests, unity day celebrations, holiday singalongs, and PTO sponsored events like our fall fest that was very successful. We brought back after a very long uh hiatus last October and our new favorite [clears throat] tradition which is trunk or treat. shortly before Halloween. So, at last year's spotlight presentation, we celebrated the work of our fourth and fifth grade student councils as well as the fifth graders who uh made up the Howler newspaper team.
Um, but you know, we are also in terms of the planning piece, you know, special ed is always a consideration. and mandated services. Um that we're always we always in those areas always plan for the unexpected. You have to plan a little bit for unexpected because that those can be volatile numbers with just a couple of students with with really high needs. Um and outside of that, you know, we're working on, you know, internal controls financially so that we're maximizing every dollar that comes on the table. Uh and that is something that I think, you know, the team is very proud of. We're spending a lot of time looking at budget and analyzing that budget so that um we know what's in it, what you know the and that's mostly the spending patterns and where we may have um not as been efficient in the past.
Um, I mean we can increase fees but like that's still fine if you have to pay the people and if you're not going to pay the people we're not going to have a program, right? So I'm just, you know, saying that. Um but um a couple changes that we talked about including in our proposal this year that's a little bit different um than how our program has been going is number one like we are pretty much an open enrollment program right now which means um on any given day any number of kids can show up to our program. Um and like not so much this year but like last year we were nearing 100 kids a day which is really hard to plan for and also when you are limited to six staff that's a lot of kids in a group. Um, so there's several programs that just like set a fixed number of slots for their program.
March 5th is already the end of our third nine weeks. March 6th is an inservice day for us to to um in the morning we'll have a work or inservice day. In the afternoon, we'll have a work day and then we have parent teacher conferences on March 9th.
Congratulations, Elelliana. love. All right, everybody. >> Thank you for your support. >> And from our PE class, Starlandria Muretta. Not here. All right. Please welcome Miss Beay Lewis from the intermediate campus. Good evening for our fourth grade is Carly Williams. She was recognized by Samantha Tabigan. She constantly demonstrates a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and respect for others. There'll be peace everybody. Congratulations. >> Our fifth grade student is Ali Harvey. for our sixth grade student who will Oh, >> Leo. >> He is consistently working hard to achieve proficient scores on his tests and always maintains a positive attitude toward learning. And he respect his peers. He follows directions carefully and supports his classmates when they are struggling. His teacher is very proud of him. He did like number one. >> Congrats. >> Our sixth grade student was not able to attend. Uh but it is Gavin Meis Toro for his leadership and how he approaches learning and always having a positive attit attitude and determined mindset.
And so there's times that I'll rattle the door on the on the gym to make sure it's locked and one of the kids will come over and pop the door open and I'll remind them, you know, yeah, you know me and I appreciate that, but remember, we don't want to be opening those outside doors for, you know, unless unless we know it's safe. Um, so those are the kinds of things we work on at that. And then just making sure our students and staff are prepared for those those kinds of incidents. Um, lots of security. We've done lots of sporting events this year. um all the football, all the basketball, um the wrestling tournament, HMS. So, we've done a lot of that, rotating us through different guys working them so that we can be there for all of them. Um awards assemblies, we have quarterly assemblies, so we work all of those in the afternoons and evenings or or for ours, their morning time, but you know, folks, you know, filtering the parents and families in and out and just keeping an eye on all of that.
You know there's elections the whole school votes on it. It's a super fun process but there's a lot of stress with it. And I kind of asked her what do you feel like to change? and she's on the executive board right now. I said, "What do you feel about the change from exec to officer? What do you feel about that?" She said she feels like she's really ready for the change, but at the same time, it's a lot more dedication and time commitment to be an officer. Once again, acknowledging the time she has to give up to do this leadership role, to go through this transition, but she's still willing to do it because it's something she enjoys. I asked her why she's willing to do this. He said, "I'm excited to make more decisions at a higher level. Sometimes it can be hard to make ideas become an a reality unless you're an officer.
Um, so sir, is it do you have any questions or anything? >> What's up? >> I have a question regarding uh >> hopefully you can help me answer a question. Uh, due process rights for the students. I'm trying to find it in the handbook and I need to know how a child can be suspended without any sort of conference taking place or investigation taking place prior to the parents even knowing that they are being suspended. How can a suspension be instituted especially if it's disputed? >> Well, that I would I would have our super I don't know the details of your case. It's not about the case itself. It's the fact of >> in the handbooks. I'm trying to figure out you say he did something. Okay, there's an allegation, right? >> Do an investigation. We warrant the suspension. >> But you just come into school and your kids already suspended and then you're being told possibly the wise to me is not the proper way to do things around the school.
>> Awesome. >> All right. Cool. Thank you. [applause] >> [applause] >> All right. Uh, moving on to student perspectives, North High. Courtney, welcome back. >> All right. Hello again. Um, I'm really, really excited to introduce to you members of our brand new boys bowling team today. And um I was really excited that they said yes um to this idea of being recognized this evening for our student perspectives. Um they are they're going to talk about their team, but they are brand new this year and had a not only a great season, but they had so many kids and it was such a joy to go watch them. Boy, I went to their senior night a few weeks ago and it was such a joy. They were all happy. They were all enjoying themselves and my first thought and I was sitting next to Dave, our associate principal for athletics.
It's really fun to see our families participate in that as well. Um and finally, we're going to continue our uh summer tutoring with our partner um Huntington Learning Center. We've partnered with them for the last couple summers. We're really targeted at providing that intentional tutoring for our students that attend Long Beach and Oldpost. And what's great about it, too, is we give our students a pre and post test to see their skill development, where they're at when they enter the tutoring, and then where they um end up at the end of the summer. And that data is shared with our elementary schools so they can hear and learn more about how to support their students. Our junior high offerings um are um at the at the dates you see listed in June. Um it is self-paced through Egeneuity. That's a platform we use throughout our system for the last several years.
Board members, any questions or comments? >> Danger. I really love the concept of Genius Hour and I love that you're able to dive in and kind of follow that passion. Um, it's really and you can have a room full of students that are just driving the direction that they want to go and allowing the the professionals to be able to just support along the way. So, I really applaud that. Um, what a cool opportunity to build something from the ground up. Um, filling in both from a we're going to start something we had, but then also recognizing the the gap of a student government and filling in that spot. So, just really really opportunities and great job executing on them. Well, thank you uh for inviting us to uh Middle School West. Um actually, as I was walking here um to the media center, I realized I had never seen this building with students in it.
You guys have any questions? >> Do you have a fa because it seems like you from athletics to academics to even outside. Do you each have a favorite uh content area or genre or >> um even though I started kind of in the marketing and journalism at school as like BCTV and doing video editing, I've honestly really found I love doing the athletics magazines. I like doing the layout and just like being able to stick in the ads and make everything flow well. I'd say my favorite is doing the better and bitten videos because we get to go to other schools. We get to interact with all the other principles in the area. We get to interact with the kids and it's just a fun thing to do. >> Yeah, same here. I I really enjoy the better videos because we get to highlight what is better and Ben, you know, all the kids just saying how much they love doing all these different things.
Her cookies, muffins, and breads are absolutely delicious. Being the secretary means that there are occasions where you have to take a not so pleasant phone call. Anna is always courteous, even during those unforgettable calls. CHS is very blessed to have Anna on our staff. She is very deserving of the CCSC Stellar Employee Award. So, You want to start down there with Mike? >> Take some of those muffins and cookies. >> Okay. You better check that out. This is good. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> And I will say today we were short staffed in the high school office and she was all alone and I went to check on her and she's as calm as she is any other day. I was so impressed. Awesome. >> Thank you. >> Congratulations. >> And Anna's got family at home ill, so she did bring >> Miss Emily with her, but we are very grateful for everything that she does.
>> Any questions on this discussion? >> Uh you are correct. So let's uh I will let me let me change I'd like to get a motion for five A through G and I through L now right hearing none. Uh, all in favor of consent items 5 A through G and I through L, say I >> All right, motion carries. Okay, back to 5H. I'd like to get a motion for the approval of the Deli Athletics recommendations.
They can also like if they're on the way to school, they can use their camera to scan it, go into our app and they can go ahead and complete the whole process to where they can walk right in and get their kid. >> We're still working on that aspect though, Steve. I know what you're talking about. We really would like to get to that point where we can't even get in the building. >> Okay, I need a motion to approve that. I'll make a motion to approve it. >> I've got a motion. Do I have a second? >> I'll second it. >> I got a motion. Second. Any further discussion? >> The first year? >> Yes. >> Does that $2590 include the $2388? So, the first year is actually going to be >> a total of those two figures. Okay. Yeah. A total of those two figures.
Uh, typically we've we've designed spaces that will allow students to be able to get these uh opportunities well in advance of their peers uh across the country. And then lastly, we've purposely de uh designed uh this uh space for community collaboration. And so we've uh want to make sure that our important community partners, our local universities and uh healthcare institutions have the ability to continue serving our students uh in the best way possible. And so I'd like Ella to talk a little bit about her uh opportunities in the ASM. >> Yeah. So I feel like ASM has really helped shape who I am academically. Um a big part of it is experiences going to local hospitals um like St. Vincent and Deaconist. Um when we went to St. Vincent. It was a really cool opportunity to get hands-on learning um and just get to do things with doctors and other medical professions there.
