And um the concerns that are being raised uh I I need to share that because it's the interest of the students and not necessarily the interest of the administrators that is administering the the programs. Again, only 25% of our student body pays that partial tuition. those who are in need have been provided full or nearly full. >> That's the problem. It's the middle class. It's the middle. they don't qualify for to get full tuition partially and they're not rich enough to to >> what we can do is maybe meet later and we can go through the details but we have a very generous set of >> you have to meet with your constituents that that you serve >> and and we've just gone out in fact and done 19 different what we called aqua sessions around the pina so we we're very happy to go out and we we just did that in the last few months 19 different sessions across the pyina from ca U to Kaha to Kohala to Cahului.
And so tonight you're getting that information and I have the meetings scheduled with meet and confer um uh classroom site fund committees uh and then individual meetings with principles and those kinds of things. And then of course I will remind you that Jen and I uh Jen and I meet it's not even so much meeting as we discuss things literally every day that regard uh that have have things relative to budgets various budgets uh because things change almost every day one way or the other either grant things are changing or our side is M and those things are changing but we're having those conversations all the time. Um and then uh and then factoring in the strategic plan, you know, making sure that we're trying to build into the budget um uh whatever funds we need to to uh to make the the strategic plan uh work as opposed to just be something on paper.
She had a screen up and and they were acting as if they were weather weather men or weather women. Kid comes up and and she led with the same question every time. Hey, where are you from? And and all of them prior to the kid I'm about to talk about said, "Oh, Indiana." And this kid when he came up, he he decided to take a different route. And he said and he walked up and he pointed right at Seattle. And Miss Agular had a decision to make in that moment. She could say, "Ah, come on. You know, kid, it's not that." She goes, "Okay, Owen from Seattle. Give us, you know, it had the weather." And so, um, Dr. Riker knows Owen. He about, uh, and he's about knocked me over a few times with hugs. Last time Dr. Riker was at hose doing our student rep.
I mean, everybody just pitches in as a team and offers to be there with open arms. So so grateful for our staff. >> Great. Thank you for that update. Um so now we'll ask if anyone is present that would like to speak to any items on the agenda or any other topic.
>> Oh. [laughter] >> Oh, that's >> bro. Just screwed him over. >> They're running with it. So, >> yeah. >> I think I think you can see it. >> Oh, we win. GG's. Well played in the chat. Good job to that. >> So that's a >> that's a three to zero win, isn't it? >> Mhm. >> Way to go. >> It was 4040 and then 42. >> Yep. >> Thank you to uh Brabbuff Brabbuff for a good match. >> Now back to Mario Kart. Yay. They're on their second cup. Their second cup >> and they're now on to Cheese Land, the second map. As you can see, they were in a pretty good lead from the first map, which was Baby Land. Does each map just have land in it for the Leaf Cup? Except Animal Crossing. >> So, obviously, no. >> Well, there's three others.
>> Good question. I'm going to defer to uh Mr. Depitri on that one. Do Sandra, do you want to come up? >> Name and address for the record. >> Thanks. >> Sure. >> Sandra Depri, 735 Main Street, Boilston. So, the way that we're contemplating right now is we'll likely do Ballard Road first and then um start work on Highland probably I don't know six or seven months after the fact just sort of so everything gets phased out and you're not pushing it all at once. >> Cool. >> And there's a significant amount of storm water management pertinence that has to be developed on Highland. Um, so that probably motivates a lot of that too, right? >> The uh the lot A, assuming I'm getting that right, the one on the left, that will likely be the last home built in the project the way that we're looking at it.
If you've kind of watched the news recently, you know that across the state, various teacher unions have gone on strike or are on strike or about to go on strike. San Francisco is currently in its fourth day of a strike. Um, Rich United Teachers of Richmond went out for four days. San Diego hasn't authorized. Los Angeles as well as Nomis, Tren Rivers, Oakland's going to be voting. And I say this one because Anaheim Secondary Teachers Association will always stand up for our CTA siblings and support them in the actions they feel is they need to do. Um but I also want to highlight the path that we've taken here in Anaheim Union. Uh thanks to a lot of people in this room through a lot of hard work uh and collaboration and cooperation and a lot of conversations over many many months we really can set that example of what true cooperation between education, labor and management can look like.
It we've we've we're more than happy to meet with our people and I do want to um address your mention of special legislation. We agree with the attorney general's opinion that this bill is constitutional and we see that from the testimony there's a wide array of schools for whom this bill will be very beneficial. They too want that solidity and that predictability and assurance that intent of donors are followed. So um we don't believe this is special legislation at all. So I I just want to clarify that. >> Can I get some money from private schools? >> Thank you. Private schools, Mr. Le. Yeah. Hello. >> So, can you just share with us what problem does the other private schools have y that this bill is going to fix? >> Yeah. So, I think you know as as um as we somewhat previously shared this clarifies some of the donor intent issues that are raised.
Okay. So when well truthfully I put August, but you can see I'm already talking about right now. Uh but I did start in August. So we start I start looking at numbers, class size numbers, uh uh positions, all those kinds of things in August after, you know, the first week of school, after the first week of school. Um and then I'm watching every month that BSA 55 comes out, our numbers change. I'm looking at how much that might or might not change the budget. Uh at what point might I may have to offer you or present to you a revision? um you know, if they're a couple thousand dollars or something pretty minor, I'm not going to make a big budget revision for a little bit of money. Uh but if we have major changes uh in that budget, then I bring it to you and and that's what I'm expected to do.
He gave Dr. Rker a big hug kind of out of the blue. And Owen's a lover, and we we love Owen for that. Now, we know Owen thinks he's from Seattle. We'll coach that up and we'll get that fix. So, going from there, thank you, Miss Aguular. Mrs. Reef would love you to come up and talk about a really really awesome uh new thing we're doing with our phonics groups. >> I'm Mrs. Reef. I'm or Britney Reef. I'm the instructional coach at Hose. Um we we started looking at this main question right here. How do we deliver instruction of foundational skills in the most effective and efficient way to meet the needs of our students? Um over the last few years, like seven years, we've been doing phonics programs with fidelity and intention and we still weren't seeing the results and growth that we wanted to see within that foundational skill.
>> Hearing none, we'll go down to old business. We have some Neiola policies for approval. >> Yes. Asking for um approval of these two Neola policies. They both have to do with food service. >> I had a motion by Travis. Do I have a second? Second by Mary Lynn.
Well, there's Baby Land, Cheese Land, and there's Oh, what was the other one? Oh, I'm blinking. Oh, why am I blinking? Was the third? >> I think it was like wild something. I don't remember though. Anyway, Sebastian's holding first. >> Sebastian holding first. Asher with the crazy skips by >> went from eighth all the way to Well, went to fourth. >> Fourth, back down to six. >> Yeah, >> now he's back. Now he's into third. >> Down into fourth. >> Third. Fourth. So, he's just bouncing back and forth. Okay. >> Looks like we got someone of ours hitting all the way in the back. >> Oh, I think that's EMTT. >> EMTT usually plays green Yoshi, so I wonder why he's playing red all of a sudden. >> Yeah. Asher, use your coin. Use your coin. >> What does the coin do again? Does it just make him faster?
>> Yeah. Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. So, so the ANR is about creating these two conforming lots which need to be created according to today's zoning. >> That's exactly right. >> Right. Not >> Right. Um in order to change this existing plan. And so the two lots are both about 30,000 square feet which is the right is right for the zoning. >> And then um is that 30,000 it includes the right of way and the culde-sac? It does. >> So because it's a private drive, it can include that. >> Exactly. And so while the fee interest, the ownership of the lot is entirely part of parcel A and parcel B respectively. >> It will be subject to easements that we will record on record um to accommodate the right of way. It'll be a right-of-way easement. Um, so those rights of way aren't going anywhere.
Uh and look forward to many years of that to to continue. And I really feel that in the months to come, we'll be in a unique position to provide that example and that leadership across the state of what others can achieve and aspire to as well. And so happy to work with all of you in that process. Sorry, I had to print out I started writing it and then I realized I had to type it because it was just too much. So, all right. Um, on behalf of AST, I'd like to share our appreciation to the cabinet and the board for its commitment to staff our westside schools with the hiring of our community school teacher leads and our community school coordinators. I think it's a a very powerful message that we stand united as a community schools district and that we could share in that work across the district and face those questions of transformation of sustainability together.
So, I think what you were speaking to with Audrey respect earlier is access. >> Can I just answer the question that I asked you please? Sure. How does this affect private other private schools that don't have, you know, race as a as a selection? >> Absolutely. So, this impacts all scholarships or charitable donations that would come in the form of potentially scholarships to any private school. So, by and large, you could easily say not just gifts from Kame schools, but any foundation that awards gifts to um schools would allow for greater access to honor that donor intent. But what's their problem that you have now that you need this bill? >> I think that the clarification is around what a contractual obligation is. So from a donor's perspective, right, a contra a contract is a two-way giving. And I'm not a contractual lawyer by or legal expert by any stretch of the imagination.
Um by January, I'm already projecting for the next year. So, you can't really read it, but the chart uh the table you see on the right hand side uh is a table I've used for several years where I take current numbers, the January numbers of how many students are in each grade level at each site and I move them up. I just move them up one grade. Okay? And then I look at the numbers of teachers we anticipate to need at each site for those uh you know for th to cover those classes or those that number of students. And this was the beginning of the conversation with the leaders uh three weeks ago uh was to start with this data. So in January I'm pulling these data already and we're starting to have conversations um and make projections. Okay. Uh and then also make the start having those conversations with meet and confer.
So we started to think outside of the box and we started to troubleshoot with that question in mind. Um, so through my cadre, I had a coach a school that was doing differentiated in phonics instruction and so I reached out to her and we got to actually go see them. Um, it's Howard Elementary. So I took um Adam and then Jackie and Aubrey, two other first grade teachers, and they came with us and we went and visited with them. Got to see how they ran their program. Um and then they actually had us we got to sit down and talk about it and and see all the hurdles that we might have to cross and um it was very informational. So we brought that back. We did win time last year but we wanted to expand on that. So >> yeah. >> Um this year we have 167 first grade students receiving daily targeted core phonics instruction.
Any discussion? All those in favor? 70. Um, next we'll go down under programs. We have some an advanced math course edition. >> Yes. I'm asking for approval for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade math courses. These courses are required by legislation and they will begin next year. Um, students will be automatically enrolled if they um score above average on iLearn and a C or higher in the class. um parents can opt out but otherwise students would be automatically enrolled and and we will share those that information with parents. Okay. Do I have an entertain? I'll entertain a motion to approve. >> Motion by Kurt. Do I have a second? >> Second by Pat.
>> Uh, it's like a weird boost you get if you have 10 out of 10 coins. >> Oh, okay. >> Like as you see with Sebastian how he can only have 10 coins. >> Also, just realized Asher took first from Sebastian. >> Yep. >> That's crazy. >> Oh, Asher used this coin. >> Well, I mean, now he has no reason to hold on to them because he's already at 10. That's the max amount of coins you can hold. >> Yeah, >> I think you also score more points if you have. >> Ah, okay. That makes more sense. So, we we held first, second, and third and fourth at the end because of points. So, 54 to 24. We have a 30 point lead. We were doubling them perfectly just before this round. >> Really wild woods. That's >> That's what it is. >> Yeah, it's baby park, not land.
They're not being affected. They're being expanded in fact because of the culde-sacs. But we needed the fee interest that we needed that so that we could make the compliant uh square footage, the zoning compliant, >> right? And then the um so and then that easement also then applies to say you'll be using that for lots to access those lots. You'll be learning you'll be using that easement which you're creating in advance so that they can >> so you can access those lots. So they're not >> exactly right. Okay. >> That's exactly right. they will not be landlocked. And actually the way the easement will be probably written is an easement created to benefit um and I'll reference the I think we're going to create a homeowners association uh to benefit that homeowners association for everybody to pass and repass lay utilities in a manner in which town uh roads and ways rather are used in the town of Ashlin.
