Uh, as the board may recall, midy year our [clears throat] school experienced an unexpected leadership transition with the resignation of an associate principal athletic director. During that time, Mr. Ell stepped in immediately to provide stability and leadership, assuming responsibilities not only as the athletic director, but also successfully le learning and supporting the duties of the dean of students. So, he took on two major leadership roles. In a split [clears throat] second, he He offered his support right away when this happened. And he's just his 27 years of teaching experiences and coaching uh in the middle school and high school level varsity sports just made him a really good fit to take over the athletic director responsibilities, but also that dean of students uh role as well. So this recommendation, we basically plugged him into that. Mrs. Weiseart plugged him in. We've offered a lot of support.

But any question um without this bill, do sports officials um have to obtain their own attorney if they assaulted or threatened at a school? [clears throat] >> Depending on what they're seeking. So if they're um looking for criminal charges to be brought, um the either the attorney general's office, criminal justice division, or the Honolulu prosecutors are going to handle um prosecuting the asalent, right? Um but the they just are essentially witnesses or complainant to that. Um and they cannot even tell them, hey, even if there's proof, I want that person charged. That goes to the discretion of the state um through its prosecution.

You can see here that we have students who um are overall earning a score of 57% of our students. So that is meaning that we are above target to meet our meet our goal. What we notice here is that the proficient rate for eighth grade students is eight points lower than the pretest, 14 points lower than the IBM1. 17 of the eighth grade standards have been assessed. Eight of the eighth grade standards that were assessed have been taught. three of the standards reflect um that we have students who are demonstrating mastery and that the eighth grade curriculum maps were adjusted and we um are seeing perhaps a correlation between the adjustments that the team have made and recommended and have been training teachers on to lead us to where we are today.

Um there's one that's talking about the school board candidates and if you when you register the next time if you're going to run um always this last session it put your name in alphabetical order but now they've decided to change it that if you um sign yourself up with an affiliated party those would be put first and then if you sign yourself up as an independent that would come in second and then if you're a nonpartisan candidate that would be third on the ballot. Um I know that there's some conflicts there because in in my opinion and I know other board members opinions, not everybody, but if you chose to sign yourself up as a nonpartisan candidate, it would give the board um a opportunity to fill your spot if you were to choose to leave.

Thank you. Any other question? >> Yeah, one follow again questions. Look, this is to add um sports officials, right? The reason why I don't think everybody can understand, you know, not everybody out there in TV land understand if we don't protect our officials on any level, we're not going to have sports cuz they don't feel safe and we already got a shortage of officials. So, you know, a lot of people have comments and saying, "Oh, you know, but no, it's different now. It's not like when I was going school, you know, 2 4 6 8 or whatever, you know, 1 2 3 shoot the referee [laughter] like, you know, that was friendly kind of song, you know, wasn't nothing. But nowadays, we're in a different category. You know, everything is physical. >> So, I just want to make sure that we everybody understands if we don't take care of our our officials, um, we're not going to have sports.

>> I have a quick question. When you talk about adjustments, those are just adjustments that you guys as a team have come together and have decided here in the district to change, not necessarily that you know it's happening other places. Correct. >> It was based the changes were based on the essential standards which are put out by the state. Um but in our last when we adopted our curriculum a few years ago because it's a new curriculum, we just went ahead and went by the way it's ordered, right? Like that is the way that the curriculum writers packaged it. You teach this module first and so on. And then last year over the summer, we took a really critical eye to looking at when the essential standards for Arizona are taught. And for example, in 8th grade, we found that there were quite a few essential standards that weren't being introduced to students until third quarter.

Actually, she might come in a little later. We will see. I seem to get the presentation up. >> Take your time. >> Actually, before I get there, while I'm trying to pull it up, um I played football. Let's talk about it more. Um, I played up until they started tackle and then I wasn't able to play anymore because I I personally wasn't comfortable doing tackle football. But I think if this was an opportunity I had, I would have jumped on it. It was so fun. I still practice with my brother to have some hints of football in my life. So, this is just I know I'm a senior and I'll be graduating, but this is a legacy I'd be super happy to see left behind in Betavia.

And if you chose to um run with an affiliated party, then that the caucus gets to come in and fill your spot. >> So the board gets a little bit more leeway there. Um then another one was talking about the wireless devices and this would prohibit the use of wireless communication devices throughout the school day including passing periods and lunchtime. It's called it's kind of a bellto bell ban is what they were calling it. Um this would require that uh we would adopt a no device policy or a storage policy to hold these um devices in a um safe space I guess. Um now the teachers would be given flexibility of their phones if unless we change that in the policy I guess. Um and The other one that stood out to me I would say was it's a very various education matters which means there's a lot of things thrown in there but they really talked about social media and um the this bill was talking about dealing with the conflicts of social media that the school has to deal with that a lot and it as of right now it's written that any 16year-old and below would need parent consent in order to have social media accounts.
