So, um yeah, that's that's pretty much um what we're looking at past SACE meeting. So, yeah. [clears throat] >> Hello everyone. Uh just to touch base a little bit on the use of this AI tool. A lot of people think that AI is kind of a way to like cheat a code, but we're using Cocoono as a way to find statistics and to find like our qualitative feedback for our study, which is obviously our lunch and learn. Coconut will be listening to different groups at different times and then automate um a transcript which then will put into a different AI tool which was introduced by Miss Prior who also introduced it to her other um peers as well which would turn our conversation into podcasts. So then we could hear back what other students were talking about and kind of finalize and see what um we can change in future plans.
>> Okay. I I guess and again you I'm just going to give you my my two cents and you're the expert. I'm not. I'm just someone who has parented boys and girls, also very involved in the high school with coaching and have coached a lot throughout my time and I've done a lot of reading on the subject. I guess I would simply say this that I think that uh behavioral modification for boys and girls sometimes needs to be different. Um I do think there is something to the concept that the school structure lends itself a little more towards girls. I'll give you an example. We had our our student leaders here a little while ago in middle school. Not a single boy. Um yeah, and I'm sure a lot of people noticed that in the room. And I think there's two things going on. I think the school structure allows young women, and I've seen it in my own household as well, to necessarily work on their strengths and become leaders and take on roles and do the kinds of things that they have here.
So we just need to pay. >> Yes, that was actually supposed to be a separate ticket, but that was a um we had to put a new air compressor air compressor in. [clears throat] That wasn't for the egg shop either. That was for advanced manufacturing. The compressor went out on us. So we took one of our old compressors, put it over there [clears throat] with a new disconnect on it. All right. Any other questions, comments on that? Okay. All in favor of AJ the pistol thistle electric service that was provided say I >> motion carries. Okay, last one here 8K. I'd like to get a motion to discuss the dump trailer as presented either have spring break and get that going. So, but I I did um recommendation my favorite one. Um and then I also just Googled the closest trailers dealers near us. Um they're,000 $2,000 more expensive.
So it's really like school but they're on computer instead and there's usually an assignment that follows for that as well. But I think our teachers did you know I I still have a high schooler so I could hear what was going on. I think our teachers do a very good job of keeping kids engaged. Um, I think I told you the last time, uh, kindergarten teacher, um, there's a video recap whenever you do these and and I watched her video recap of the kindergarteners and first of all, hats off to kindergarten teachers >> because it was extraordinary to see that. But I just teachers did a great job with how do we navigate this and how do we keep kids connected to one another and to learning while you're off and so yeah, >> thank you. It's my understanding that also when they see impending weather that they they start giving them assignments so that they're ready in case something happens.
17 band students were recognized this past weekend for their silver or gold ratings for their solos at the Indiana State School Music Contest. Senior Elizabeth Foster will be representing LHS and competing for the title of the Distinguished Young Women of Indiana. Um, congratulations to the junior Barry wrestler Quinton Mclody who won the regional championship and will advance to semiate this weekend.

And then tickets are on sale for the LHS Alumni Association gala on Saturday the 28th at Vibrance Event Center. And then um last but not least, it is from the career center. It's a national CTE month. So if you look on social media, you will see some highlights with some students of different pathways sharing a little bit about their passion and why they chose that pathway.
No problem. >> Um but March 20th and through 22nd and that is in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. All right. Um, so >> motion to approve. >> Second. >> Uh, motion by Mr. Newton, second by Miss Ammerald. All in favor? >> I >> And that was unanimous. And I am sorry about the glitch. Approval >> about that. >> No problem. But now for the most important >> presentation on the fiscal year 27 proposed budget. >> Great. I'm just >> McGuire. >> Thank you so much. So I'm just going to kick it off um by just making a statement regarding the budget. We've heard from some folks already here this evening and so before Mr. Kylie gets into the details, we want to take a moment to provide some what we think is important context for the work behind it. So, this proposed budget has truly been developed with great care and intention.
So they're going to >> Yeah, I think these amounts though I just don't like having the this 34 million and 45 million because the 34 million we just got right the 45 million that's not going to be 45 million. So I just feel like having these >> That's what no one was saying. No one. So let me let me emphasize. >> Yeah. But I'm just they it didn't sound like everybody agreed. >> I agree. >> Let let me emphasize that any number it can be any number. So for example, whatever you pass in in your community, then you figure out what you're going to do with that money. >> So the number Yeah. Then you adjust the project. So, let's say let's say the elementary we think it's going to cost 34 million to renovate that building and make it look essentially brand new like the library that's been renovated like the first grade link.
There's another little office back there that has her speech services. We'll go ahead and come out. She did all she I think >> if you buy two around the corner. Here is the gym. >> I'll let Shay go in there. Yeah, >> we turn the lights on or >> start. I can turn the lights on. >> I sure do. here instead of getting That's the gym. And then they're slowly coming on. >> It's an experience. >> Yeah. They don't come on quick at all, do they?
>> It is now on the screen. Uh governing board members. >> All right. Thank you. >> Does it recommend a change for page six? Next one. >> The next piece highlighted um for recommendation and review is page seven, reenrollment process. Um if the student if a student is dropped from Indian's middle high school, Indian's high school, the student and parent guardian must schedule a meeting with the principal in order to reenroll. Indian Oasis Middle High School. Indian Oasis High School placement is limited and students and families must understand and agree to the requirements for continuous enrollment. >> Next one. >> The next one is on page 10. Indian Oasis Accelerated Campus. Um up for review is a recommendation for Indian Oasis Middle High School Accelerated Camp campus serves 6th through 12th grade. The recommendation is to change that to 1012. The school has implemented a computer program that is aligned with the Arizona academic standards core curriculum.
but they will be on our social media by tomorrow afternoon if you'd like to see the uh folks who were the staff of the quarter and um I just want to again remind the board sometimes what we do is that it feels like a thankless job right um but you can from the reports you even heard tonight you know that you have a huge impact on our kids so thank you and take any questions you might have >> questions Maria will it be out in the marquee too or >> Oh, yeah. It'll be on the marquee >> and we'll have sign signs because, you know, people >> they're all going to, you know, we're going to do some press releases and some ongoing stories and we'll have little construction updates and on our social media and the website and every time we do, we'll remind them that it's money from the state school facilities board.
Um, so just giving them a place to kind of reflect on their own learning and their process uh going through a unit. And then kind of zooming out a little bit too when we think about transferable skills um outside of chemistry. This is kind of an attempt uh to get at that. One of the things you know uh Chris was talking about the challenge of chemistry. It's a very different way of thinking uh than students have ever done before. And for a lot of students, it's the first time they've ever had to study. So, uh, we are trying to teach them those study skills. Um, but also showing them, you know, I had a lot of students when we did that first semester check-in, how did the first semester go? They said, "My goal is to get an A." Okay, that's a great goal. Like, how are we going to achieve that goal?
So as you look at this slide, so let's look at the Fgrades first. We're comparing the two years here. We're comparing this year we're at North High School obviously. We're comparing this year to last year, which last year served as our baseline data. This year, 100% of the students who earned an F grade had a parent contact. >> 100%. >> Say that again. >> Or an intervention. >> Gina, say that again. >> So, I'll go slower. >> Yeah. Say it again. >> 100% of our North High School students uh who had an Fgrade had an intervention, had a parent contact intervention. Every student I might make you say it again. [laughter] >> I mean, >> do I need to word it differently? >> No. I mean, do you know how like this tremendous 100% of anything by anybody is >> tremendous >> is tremendous, right?
Um next this following week uh OE has sent out invitations for the lunch and learn to staff and stu for only staff but we are currently training student leaders from other clubs such as bionic coalition lasso BSA to come and help out during these lunch periods. We'll be from 10:02 to 107 I believe the fourth, fifth, 6th and 7th for our lunch periods at these schools. Uh we really want to emphasize the importance of these lunch and learners which is to connect with student teacher relationships and to understand what we can work on and kind of look forward to for the future within these groups. Um and then also said OE's lunch and learn is going to be on the 19th and ours will be on March 3rd. And then we have a meeting this week in which we'll talk about like training of the volunteers and the notetakers who will facilitate the entire group.
And boys sometimes um get pushed a little to the side because their strengths at age seven and nine and 15 don't necessarily always fit inside that structure. And sometimes that has its way of working in through behavioral issues. And I'm not by any means trying to generalize and saying all girls are good and all boys are bad. I just think they operate differently. Their brains function differently. Their biochemistry is differently. And I guess my my my point, if I have a point here, is just simply I hope that as we continue to work through the behavioral academy that we we draw some distinctions that probably ought to be drawn, but if you want to comment on that, feel free. And if you don't, that's okay, too. >> Yes. >> Um I think the only thing I would say is I just want to um hopefully give some reassurance that when we're talking about scenario- based applications, we do know that um girls, especially at a younger age, tend to lean towards more verbal demonstration.
They're all comparable. Same axle weight limits. Um pretty much all the same options. >> And this is replacing the dump truck that we Yes. >> are replacing this. So if I look this up 14,000 that's 24,000 7,000 on the truck. So we have definitely 26,000 just Just check. >> I'll just call the trailer. >> Okay. Thank you. [laughter] [clears throat] >> Hey, at least the clutch won't go out on me. >> Where the brakes? >> Where's the brakes? [laughter] >> That is it is a hidden that is a hidden concern with the trailer is it's a total weight across the whole unit, everything. And when you get over that way or >> just check out 26,00 >> we're going to test I'm just more concerned about It also has battery. >> The old >> Yeah. Yeah. So that's good because any of the three cups all in favor of 8K trailer as presented.
>> Yeah. Since we I think something that worked really well this time and we you know we were watching weather ahead of time. So Thursday before the the weather event, we were able to put out a message to staff and to families that said if we're only out one day, here's what it will look like. If we're out two, if we're out three. And so people had an idea of what to expect, which also allowed teachers to talk to students about what this is going to look like. Um, you know, younger students who've never done it, it gave them a chance to practice and to get a I know one of the things for little people is always like what's in the background? How are they changing their setting? And so, but but you know, taking the fun side out of it, too. It's just it gave them a chance to practice.
>> Was weed testing during all the snow dates? Yeah. Yeah. >> Did you get Did you get it? Have you >> talked to Lindsay about that? >> You got it done yet or? >> Yeah. It's work in progress. >> I was watching the updates on that. >> Okay. >> It's always like without fail. >> Yeah. >> Basketball sectional or media testing rings. >> It's very sore, Becky. It's very sore.
It's aligned with our district strategic plan. It's designed to ensure that each recommendation moves Dartmouth public schools forward and it's also mindful of the fiscal realities we face as a community. So, we're acutely aware that this budget is being presented during a time of significant financial pressure, not only for the school district, but across the town as a whole. Rising costs are a real thing. We know that contractual obligations, special education expenditures, transportation and utilities, these obligations continue to place real strain on municipal budgets. In this environment, every decision that we make requires thoughtful balance between need, impact, and sustainability. And one of the things that I pay a lot of attention to is every morning MASC, as I'm sure you all receive the updated bulletin and around the Commonwealth, there are um um so many communities that are facing the same exact kind of pressures that we're facing here in in Dartmouth.
Let's say the community gives us feedback that they're only willing to pass 25 million. If we can get 25 million bond issue, then we got to go in and pair that project down. >> So, maybe that's a question to ask. Can we get rid of these amounts? Because just like we were told at the first meeting, when we came out with this 34 million, that wasn't the same number they heard last year. And so where did we come up with this? Did we inflate this so that people are more in favor of the 45 >> that you know because a lot of these people aren't going that are going to do this have it come to >> well to get the information. So that's what I'm just saying like >> could we say something like 20 25 estimates are this amount >> because the last remodel amount was based on a light look through.
>> Does anybody have any questions about our building? >> So, this is guys, this was we were talking about probably having to at least redo the the wax and on the gym floor. So, if you want to kind of come in and take a look at it real quick. >> Yeah, we have not. You can tell it's really >> getting pretty slick. >> It is pretty slick. And you can tell it just it it needs to be it needs to be buffed down and then re >> there's not a rock on it. >> Yeah. Watching the kids play in here the games that they had over here. >> Yeah. >> There's some balls. have to have somebody go get those things down. >> So, honestly, our big kids could help our little kids. They could grab one and go. I mean, >> there's some grape.
