>> Hello, I'm Elizabeth Rous. You don't already know me. and I'm here to talk about a potential uh research project for the summer to support our athletic our athletic program here. So, a little bit about me. Um I graduated from Brown County in 2023. Uh I was a student athlete for four years. So, athletes, you know, are my brother and brother. I love working with them. It's part of the reason I decided to go into the uh exercise science program down at USI. And in my third year, but I will graduate in uh this coming fall. Uh I don't know what I'm doing yet, but I will probably end up going into a master's program of some kind. So, a little bit of like a background that got me into what I uh decided on doing my research project for. So, last year I took a sport psychology and sport nutrition course as a part of my uh required coursework.
There's a lot of stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> I aliance 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, providing today's students opportunities to become tomorrow's leaders. Uh we did not have any public comment today. We do have a special presentation for CN primary. Thank you. >> Are you ready? >> Yeah. Ready if you guys are. >> We're ready. >> All right. Um, you can watch behind me if you want. I feel like I should start off say like because last time when you guys were at the primary last year, a year ago, we presented, I'm pretty sure we talked about MTSS then, but Missy, so I feel like now on part two of MTSS at Central Primary, we're going to kind of take it a step further and I want you to see what we've been doing on our first Tuesdays with MTSS and some things that come up along the way when we do it.
If everyone will stand, we'll do the pledge of allegiance followed by a moment of silence and the commission statement. >> I pledge allegiance 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. Clinton Central School Corporation will provide an educational setting that promotes rigor, relevance, and relationships to develop a student's full potential in a safe and stimulating environment.

All those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion passes 6-0. First up, uh, looks like junior senior high school recognitions.

Did you get a chance? >> Second. >> Okay. Oh watching this. >> Okay, so now Zoom has had its regularly scheduled temper tantrum. We have unanimously voted to approve of uh the December 8th minutes. So now moving on to the next uh the main event, our budget update. >> I think you you had had earlier stickling around with the calendar. >> I don't know if that's something you would mind showing for a minute. So we have a budget calendar that was kind of based not kind of based on last year's budget calendar basically just kind of rolled over in that sense. I've talked with the mayor and the mayor's aid >> and calendar is being pushed back in terms of the city side for a full month. So, for example, >> I think >> um for example, in this calendar that we have right up there, you'll see it says April 1, mayor's proposed budget, city budget released.
And in those things, I was like, "Oh, this is really interesting." And it was finally when I was getting into actual like exercise science, exercise science course work, and I was like, "Oh, I really love this program." And within that, um, my dad benefited from this because he's the guy that I talked to and like talked through assignments with. So, we ended up talking a lot about sports psychology stuff as he was working with the high school basketball team and the girls were struggling and we were trying to figure, okay, can I help with that I've learned. And then the same on the nutrition side because it's a thing that I really wish we had more of here at the high school when I was an athlete. I definitely realized like, oh, I was under fuel. I was not performing at my best. So, I ended up connecting my dad with uh my nutrition professor and she was able to um give him resources to help our athletes with the athletic development program over the summer.
But just as a review, MTSS stands for multi-tered systems of support. It's a schoolwide framework uh where we really get a chance to look at the individual student, look at what kind of tiers of instruction they might need or interventions and that could be academic, behavioral, social, emotional. This is the agenda that we have been following on our first Tuesdays. Um when Robbie was still here and doc, they have kind of given the buildings a little more free will of doing what we want to do on those first Tuesdays. Sometimes it's PD, but for us at the primary, I really like the focus of using that time for MTSS. We divide it up into two hours, one hour for kindergarten starting at 7:45 to about 8:45. Then first grade comes in from 8:50 to 9:50. When they're not meeting in MCSS, the grade levels have collaboration time to do any planning or anything that they need to do as a grade level.
Grayson, if you wouldn't mind coming on up here. Okay, thank you, Grayson. I'm going to hold this. If you don't mind, Mr. Lake is going to take a picture. I'm going to say a few things about you. Okay. >> All right. Thanks guys. >> So I thought we got for you. So when we talked to the different teachers in the junior high setting, four of them spoke very highly of you and thought that it was very Yeah, absolutely. Big deal. Big deal. And thought that it was really you were a person that really deserved this honor. They spoke pretty highly. They said that you're a very respectful kid. Not only are you respectful to all the teachers, but all the staff members here in the building. That's a good trait to have in today's world. They said that you're kind to everybody, not just your teachers, but all of your classmates.
Their time and dedication help keep students safe and make the program possible. The town says the program simply couldn't happen without them. for upcoming town meetings. There will be several town meetings coming up, including the conservation commission, zoning board, and planning board. Meetings are held at town hall or remotely and can be viewed on WACA TV. Agendas are posted at least 48 hours in advance. Town manager coffee hours. Residents are invited to attend the town manager's monthly coffee hour. The next one is scheduled for February 18th at the Ashlin Community Center. It's a chance to ask questions, share concerns, and connect directly with town manager Michael Herbert. Friends of the library book sale. The Friends of the Ashlin Public Library will host their annual book sale March 6th and 7th. Books will be available for as little as $1 with proceeds supporting library programs. The sale will take place at the Ashlin Public Library.
>> She'll be doing that by May 1st. >> Okay. So my point in some of this and this is somewhat new and they're they've talked about this with the city council is my understanding knowing that numbers are being released later and later each year whether they're governor house senate you know all that type of stuff getting back preliminary cherry sheets which just came out so in keeping with being a little bigger city doing things I don't say later but later in the fiscal here >> versus doing them so early. >> I think before I'm seeing it was March 11th. >> Yes. >> Oh, for us the mayor. >> What are you on last year's? >> Yeah. >> So when you what we probably not have to do but could do and should do obviously here with for your your blessings and stuff is pushing things back >> for that.
And through my sports psychology course, I did an honors project in which I talked to some of the coaches I've had experiences with. We talked about like the Brown County way of like we want to succeed, but then when it comes to time to succeed, we kind of just were like it's okay if we succeed even though we really want to. And I did a survey with those coaches of like what do you think is the root cause of that? Is there a way we can start changing that? And it was a really helpful presentation. It kind of got me kickstarted on stuff I wanted to do over the summer. and my professor really enjoyed what I found, what I did, and he encouraged me to continue the conversation of like, let's do something better for our athletes here. So, that led into this past summer where I got to work with our athletic development program where I spent time in the weight room supervising our athletes.
But a sample agenda, obviously, we talk about students of concern. uh we talk about how we're using our cougar time to check in on that which is small group instruction and then we do some next steps and action item planning time. So, you know, it sounds like a pretty light agenda, but in that hour it's pretty full. And Paige will kind of talk about that, I'm sure, here in a few minutes when she uh talks about some individual things that came up at our recent first grade meeting. I want to show you real quick um a data tracking system that we've put into place. Uh this is for individual students that we talk about. I know it's kind of hard to see. Last year when we started this data tracking system for students, it was kind of a running document where we had just every student listed on one document.
You even go out of your way to ask your classmates for help. Helping people goes a long way in this world and people don't forget that. So, I think that's a great sign. I also heard unfortunately sometimes we think that some of your good deeds go overlooked. So that was another reason we thought that you'd be a great choice here to make sure that people see people who good who do good deeds, you know, they are rewarded and people notice that. So those are kind of some of the reasons we chose you, but very good job. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, absolutely. Let's give a round of applause. >> Carter, the high school student of the month is Carter Klein. So Carter is uh one of the first students who actually welcomed me here to Clint Central and uh right off the bat and I knew he was a little bit of a character cuz he was doing the PA announcing at the Powerpuff game and was pretty uh animated with that and he's also has done that um for junior high games as well.
