They stopped being friends and were never in the sky together. Oh no, I wonder what's going to happen now. Will we see rainbows when the sun and clouds with the sun and the clouds far apart? It was scorching hot on some days and damp and cold on others. And worst of all, there were no more rainbows. Without rainbows, the flowers, streams, and even the cities started to lose their color. Soon the earth was black and white. Can you imagine your whole world just being black and white and all the colors gone? But in one little town, in one little school, in one little desk, there was one little forgotten box of crayons. And the crayons still had their colors. The desk rattled, shook, clamorred, and clanked. All of a sudden, it toppled over, and the box of crayons tumbled out. Now we can see some colors in the picture here, said the green crayon, said the blue crayon.
Um thank thank you for all that KJ. Um so um Raj I have a question for you Raj. The fines how many how much in fines have they been assessed? >> 600. >> How much? >> Totally 600. >> 600. Okay. What I'd like to do at this point is KJ I'd like you to forward all of the communication to Raj. >> Um >> No. I'd like I'd like to forward it to somebody on the board. >> Sure. Um you um what's it for for the whole board? What is a board of health? >> I also I also have one more request if I'm going to do this. >> Yeah. >> I would like to I would like to know that moving forward my building in Ashlin will not have a target on its back because the manner in which that we've been fined has been done so with impunity and without keeping any consideration to the communication that we have set forth >> that this is what I'm trying to fix right now.
Good afternoon, chairs, vice chairs, and members of the uh joint committee. Um my name is Haley Chang. I'm the first deputy for the office of the public defender. We have submitted testimony in opposition to this measure purely because um it is taking what is classified currently as misdemeanor conduct of bodily injury, which can be just physical pain without any sort of bodily visible bodily injury. You could shove someone and they could say that hurt that is bodily injury. Uh what this bill is seeking to do is take what's already a protected class under our assault statutes. Sporting officials are already protected under the assault second offense um which is elevated for other classifications and taking it above and putting it as a class B felony. Uh you can see in the measure all of the other protected classes that this would escalate beyond our education workers, doctors, um correction workers, all of the other protected classes and this would even go beyond them.
Um that'll be interesting. There doesn't seem to be an answer quite yet on that and if there's any safeguards in place for that. Um it als I mean there's obviously no oversight built into the big beautiful bill so we already know how that goes here at the state level. Um, another, uh, there were a couple other things that were going on at the federal level as far as cases were concerned that we're just going to have to watch and see. Um, one of the big ones though was that the the federal government pulled out or rescended their um, you know, appeal of the ruling in the uh, basically the anti-Dei case that um, we had kind of been watching as well. And so that'll be that was very interesting. And then so for now that's kind of off the table. Um, another session I went to had it I don't know that it was now that I think about it I was trying to figure out how it kind of fit into the theme of the conference the AI thing because now when I was thinking about it in retrospect I'm not quite sure but um it I did hear some interesting things.
Thank you for listening and thank you for supporting students like me that want to keep playing in high school and maybe even college. [applause] Next we have Emily Zabinski. [applause] Good evening. My name is Emily Zabinsky and I'm a sixth grader RMS and this past fall I played girls flag football. I'm interested in playing girls flag football in high school because it is a very active and challenging sport. For several of my teammates who played this past fall, it was their primary sport. There were quite a few eighth graders on the team and a lot of those girls want to play next year. Given the large interest in flag football, there will be plenty of girls who want to play in a future program. Currently, BHS does not have a girls flag football team. Students love representing their school and without a BHS team. Girls will have to go elsewhere to continue playing flag football.
Sorry, I have a few notes. Um, I also wanted to thank everyone on the board. This process was a long process for us. We held several interviews. Um, again, really just looking for the proper fit for us and the board worked extremely well together. There were some late nights that we had, but the the dialogue was always very positive and I think as a board we grew together. Um, and every single one of us really had the same purpose in mind going forward with this. Um, so again, I already said it, but we're super excited. This is a probably one of one of if not the biggest things the board [snorts] of [clears throat] education is going to do is is appoint a superintendent. [snorts] So with that I got to get my notes. I need a motion and a second to approve the contract and appointment of Dr.
>> Yes. inquire. They were all included in it. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, it was either last year or the year before, they had um I'm not familiar with it, but they had I think um college, not fraternities, but they had um all the the sororities. They did stepping >> from all the Black History uh sorities, but >> fraternities. Yeah. They came out and did their stepping. >> Dr. Hall would know it because we talked about it. >> Divine Nine. Yeah. >> Yes. That's good. >> Yeah. So, they had an entire >> uh thing. That was fantastic. >> Yes. That was one segment. So, I will point out, you know, those certain dates in the FYI, but they're all listed for you to take a look at. And if you're free any day or evening, just kind of check it off. So, I'll I'll put um instead of just showing like um the full month, I'll just kind of highlight a few at each building um depending on, you know, if you have day or nighttime available.
Just basically Nope, just a hearing for it tonight. Okay, >> so next on the agenda will be personnel in employment transportation secretary. >> Yes. So Lisa Clarage, she sent in her resignation. Her last day was last week with us. Lisa has been with the corporation for nine years. She has held various positions and even before that she was subbing. I remember back when I was in the classroom as Lisa was a sub and so we just thank her for all of her time that she's devoted and to the extracurriculars that she's helped out with and the way her family's helped out and been a part of the school corporation. We wish her the very best on her next adventure. >> So since it's already h we guess we got to prove that she's can we deny it she has to come back. >> We can try.
So the base bid turf replacement is $650,500 and the alternate one alternate that was selected is alternate five game on which adds $45,000 to that. The reason that was um included typically at the installation of field turf um there's a lot of cutting and sewing. Anytime you see a color difference uh that is cut out and sewed in. Those are the areas that fail over the years. Game on is a fairly new uh process that allows for the turf to be printed uh in what colors uh you need. So, uh, if you're you're printing a 10 yard strip, uh, you'll have the white yardage lines on there. They don't have to be cut out and and placed in. Um, that would be the two that we would be, uh, recommending. This, uh, project would take place, uh, as soon as track season's over in late May.
Kosen is the premier professional association for school system technology leaders and its mission is to empower educational leaders to leverage technology to realize engaging learning environments and to help me navigate >> [laughter] >> everything. I've learned so much from Mr. Yankee. [laughter] Earning the Cetal certification demonstrates the commitment that Mr. Yankee has to our district and to bringing the 21st century learning to our schools. Because of this seed certification requirements, certified leaders pledged to stay current in this everchanging field of education technology. With us this evening are two guests who were instrumental in helping Josh achieve his certification goals. This is Darlene Kennedy who is the director of technology integration and professional development coordinator for the Northern and Northwestern Indiana Educational Service Centers and Mr. Nick Williams director of technology innovation for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation in Columbus, Indiana. So I will turn it over to your mentors Josh.
Get off of me. I'm out of here. Woe is me. Hey, where are all the colors? They're noticing everything's black and white. The crayons started to search for the colors. They raided marker bins and tore through art projects, but everything as far as they could see was only black and white. Go away. This is sad. This is terrible. Daffodils and butter. Those are both yellow, aren't they? If oranges aren't orange, do I even exist? I'm concerned. What's going on? The crayons looked out the window. The sun was all the way to one side of the sky, looking very angry. And the clouds were way on the other side, looking very gloomy. Miss all the colors. can't even draw rainbows together now. Wait, that's it. We need to save the rainbows. Do you think the crayons can save the rainbows? So, the crayons started drawing little rainbows all over town and houses and buildings, but all over on the trees, the sidewalks, but nothing happened.
So let let me finish. Okay. Um, what I'd like you to do is forward the email to Raj and you can send those emails to the entire board of health if you do board of health at ashlandmass.com. >> Hold on. >> Um, I'm going to ask Raj >> Ashlin Mass like MASS or just ma >> Ashlin Ashlin Ashlins.com. Okay, I'm going to ask Raj tomorrow morning to meet with the inspector to have some kind of communication with you KJ so we can set up a time. Um I'm also going to ask Raj to reach out to the resident so that we can make sure that you can get access. Um, I I I hear your frustration. Um, >> under our lease under our lease agreement, if it's determined under mass law, if it's determined to be an emergency, which guessing by the fact that in the first time in 25 years that I've been owning and managing real estate, I've had to be put in front of a board about, you know, fines and violations and such.
So that is the basis for our opposition. I say I'm out of time. I'll be available for questions. Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh next up, David Matsushima, Deputy Attorney General on Zoom. Oh, in live in person. Thank you. uh chairs uh Dquite an uh Kim members of the committee uh deputy attorney general Alan account on behalf of the department of the attorney general. So we uh just offered comments on this bill. Um this bill has essentially two sections. Um the sections one and two have to do with the civil action. Um three speaks to both and then um sections four and five speaks to the criminal action. So, um, in regards to the criminal action, we note that, um, in order to be consistent with the already existing special classes, we'd ask that, um, you insert substantial in front of bodily injury in section 4 and delete section five that allows for, um, some, uh, consistency between the special classes.
You know, obviously all districts across the country are trying to figure out how to utilize AI, what softwares they might use and and and in what ways teachers might utilize it, students, etc. One thing I did hear that that I would like to do if if it's something we can consider is, you know, once we kind of know and I know we're already using some AI platforms in certain regards, but um some of the schools talked about how they had like uh community listening sessions or like maybe we could have a community council where we where we kind of address how AI is being used in our district. Kind of have all of that stuff aired out. there's a lot of different feelings, thoughts, positions on it and it seemed to be at least at some of these other districts helpful for them to have these kinds of conversations out in the open just to maybe demystify some of the things as well.
If the high school gets a flag football team, it will not take up a lot of resources because the girls team can share the football field and there is less equipment involved in the sport compared to tackle football. Girls flag football is a popular and growing sport. Girls flag football will be featured in the 2028 Olympics. Battavia is falling behind by not having a girls team. The Betavia community embraces boys football. There's enough school spirit in this town for it to embrace both the boys and girls football programs. Being a student athlete teaches important lessons, including leadership, confidence, and organization that translates from onfield play into future careers. Some of the most important skills developed from playing the game are teamwork, fast thinking, and flexibility, which are not always learned in the classroom. The girls flag football team wants to continue the long-standing Bavia tradition of winning and representing the school at the highest level possible.
Amy Mcrindle to as our superintendent for Central 301. >> Second. And before we go to vote, are there any board members that would like to say anything as well regarding our process and our appointment? >> Ryan, I'm I'm right there with you. I thought it was great how we were able to engage a number of stakeholders um in in throughout the district, educators, um parents, um just everybody who intersects with the district. It was really helpful for us as a board to um have that information as Ryan said to see that there's a lot of alignment and um I couldn't agree with you more that we found that as we were discussing this that there were a lot of things I felt like we got closer closer together on we found ourselves agreeing with we found ourselves understanding where other people were came coming from and um I personally am super excited about this >> I'm excited excited to have everybody vote to bring Amy on as our superintendent.
>> Okay. And just taking a step further, not only Black History Month, if they have Polish American Month or whatever, Hispanic, whatever. Okay. So we can get an opportunity the board to participate in some manner >> and just show our presence and you know have the opportunity to do that. Okay. >> Yes. So by law we have mandates from the state of what we must teach um no matter what your cultural background is. For instance even like women's history month is coming up next month. We have to have lessons and programs around that. So, I'll create like a separate section and the principles just kind of drop everything in and I'll just kind of highlight a couple of those for you, but you could know that you can always go to that large document. >> All right. So, I know you don't have this one, but if you want to create it, you could create it for men.
So entertain a motion to accept Lisa's resignation for transport transportation secretary. >> All I >> that was in your board pen. The names for transportation are not in there for lined up but with working on transition through transportation together for the board meeting but we'll have that ready to go for the next board meeting. So we have our central office office assistant who helps get us in order down here in the summer extra filing um some other records that we need to take care of. Down here we have our custodial crew who's going to be returning with us and then adding a couple of new faces in there as well for us this summer. Being again all of our past student records and all of our current student records. So I mean that's over a thousand there. And like I said our past student records they they date way way back and stuff.
Uh, and hopes to have it completed by the middle of June. Should take just a couple couple weeks for them to do. So, it's also much faster with game on. Um, and in your packet, you have a uh rendition of what the field would look like, very similar to what it is now. Different logo in the middle. Um, and the labels for Don Willard Field uh placed on the turf itself. >> I have a question or two. >> This MS, are they both the installers? And is it their prop proprietary? >> No, they are. >> It's just they're just the installation. >> Yes, they are the installation group. They're out of Ohio. Um and they uh have done some work for us before. Um they are are certainly the best known group of of doing this. Um they do all the professional sports teams in Ohio.
First of all, thank you very much for having us. We're excited to be here. Um we're um a little bit um in shock of having to follow that great presentation by those kids. We were like, how are we going to follow that? Um that was absolutely amazing. You guys have a wonderful district here. You really do. Um oh, as as she said, I'm Darlene Kennedy. I work for the Northern and Northwest Educational Service Centers, but I'm also the Indiana Seidal Ambassador. um through our Indiana CTO council which is our state chapter of the Kosen network. Um I get the pleasure of working with all of our seedals and our CTO to bees um to gain that seedal certification. Um I'm very passionate about it. But what I'm really proud of is that Josh has now put us right over the 75 mark. We have 75 seedals throughout the state of Indiana.
