So we can either win their contract and bring it over here, but we need a lot of supporters here with the the fellow policy makers so we can make this a reality. So I think that penal code uh needs to be reclassified some issues in there with the sports terrorism using the convention center as a venue as well and other means and uh thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to testify. >> Thank you Russell. Uh anybody else wishing to testify on the measure?
>> Okay. So, like a shut out basically. >> Yeah, kind of. >> First tech fall. Don, what about you? Um, I'd say my most memorable match was in the semi-finals at Circle my sophomore year and it was a really close match and I did a kind of sketchy move and it worked out really well and I've been the kid. >> That's that's how you win a wrestling match right there. >> A great match. >> Uh, what is your favorite style of wrestling and uh tell me a little bit about it? >> Oh, I've only ever done one style of wrestling that'd be folk style. There's three I think right? freestyle and Greco or the other two. Um, Gracie's done uh all of them and I can't even imagine doing Greco. Just you can only wrestle upper body and that includes throwing people and I don't do that.
So, I fix the cars and I also drive them. >> I am also a driver and I typically focus on the body work and uh do a lot of the finer detail work for the cars. >> Very useful things. We also use batteries like a normal car >> and we we also are both report writers which is >> it's a big thing in electric rally. That's how we get our positions in our line. >> It's a big document where we record everything that happens in the season and then when we submit it, it gets our placements in line for race season. >> Yeah. Last year we got first place. Oh, first three spots which gave us an advantage in the race season. >> Then we which won most of all of ours. >> Yeah, that's nice. Uh, sorry. Um, uh, what does everyone get to drive?
Nicole Avis Rouse is also uh resigning from the student council sponsor at the CMS. And Kelly Graves, bus monitor, is resigning. We've got a employment Steven Price who's currently a bus monitor monitor but is working on his CDL and he'll be a driver as soon as that gets done. We have one leave of absence, Whitney Rodenberg for maternity leave. We do have Jeannie Rice and Nicole Avis Rouse who are going to be taking the co-sponsorship for Scholar Bowl for next year. And uh Khloe Alexander is coming back as a volunteer high school cheer coach for the 2627 school year. Um, Ellen Russell Rider King is a bus driver but advances to tier two because she's been here for the uh, I believe two years of service. And then so we have two vacancies. High school secretary to replace Jill Dickerson and that's going to be a 10-month position and student council sponsor still needs to be filled.
>> They've gone through two minutes and both of them have only made one goal. >> It's been over two. >> Three. Sorry, I can't count. >> Yeah. It's five minute matches now. Seven. >> What? >> Well, it's cuz you usually get mixed up with seven. This time you got mixed up with a four-minute match. >> That's cuz we joined in at four minutes. >> Meaning within the starting minute, Hopeart actually start scored, I believe. Of course, I have no idea because we didn't join in time to see it, but >> yeah, >> to viewers, but technical difficulties. >> At least we're actually finally fighting them after having to res. >> This is a res match. >> Didn't we have to res just once? >> There's two different teams. I had to reschedule different things. >> Gator. >> Dang it. >> Gator 227 is now minute or two points in >> just over a minute pretty much.
Uh and so therefore we have a quorum. We will now open it up for public comment. Um members of the public will have three minutes to speak. You'll have to say your name and your address. Uh if you would like to get on stack um or join the list, uh please put your name in the chat. If you're on Zoom, there's no um members of the public in the room. So, if you're on Zoom and you wanna and you want to do public comment, now's the time. Okay, seeing none, no public comment, uh then we're going to close that for now and move along to our next item, which is our open meeting law presentation given by Liz Lefon from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees. Liz, Just remember to hold the microphone until the light turns green, please. >> Liz, can you hold the microphone until the light turns green?
Um, as we celebrate the season of hearts, students at CHS recently had the opportunity to get in the spirit of Valentine's Day by filling out the National Honor Society's annual matchmaker survey. This is a quick and easy survey asking simple and straightforward questions like, "What time do you normally go to bed?" and "What's your favorite subject?" Questions like these encourage students to answer honestly and better help students find which members of the herd they're most compatible with. This survey was actually very successful for the National Honor Society with 200 over 200 students participating. As a result, approximately $300 were raised and this will go towards future community service projects by the National Honor Society. >> So back in December, our peer health educators organized a visit to Dittle School where they gave presentations and read stories to grades K through six and kind of focused on the importance of serving their community.
Seeing none members any questions? >> Oh yeah. Oh >> so you you spread about the Formula One uh racing rate. You just said something about following Formula 1. >> Yes, sir. >> So, you know that Hawaiian Homes >> um with Pam Woody Oakland Dam is looking into making a Formula 1 track out there in uh Point. >> I heard a little bit about that, but I haven't really looked into the details, but I need they need to publicize that to the general public, I think, with the the Formula 1 industry that we're willing to have that kind of infrastructure in Hawaii. >> Yeah. So, they're they're thinking about billing it, even though I don't agree with the vendor, but hey, it's going to be a racing track. So, hopefully you guys could be able to capitalize on that and working with the tourism HDA guys and try to promote something over that that track.
So, yeah. >> Folk folk right there. What are you Kaden? >> Uh, low key I went to a couple freestyle practices and they were fun, but it's just like the scoring is a little different, but I've mainly done folk style, so that's probably my favorite. It just kind of feels like Greco and freestyle are just how hard can you bully the other person because there's no rules. >> How far can you throw the guy? >> Just bully. >> That's really all it is. >> Doing a sport like wrestling and trying to be aggressive and kind of I guess get out of anger. Don't you kind of want to bully the your opponent opponent? >> Um well in folk style there's rules to it. So he can only bully me as much as I can bully him. And like freestyle or greco like you can throw somebody on their head and there's no problem with it.
>> Not everyone. Like Shelby last year, she's blind in one eye, so she can't drive. And then there's some people who either are not eligible to drive because they haven't gotten their driver's license yet >> or permit and or there's like especially some of the taller members can't fit in the cars properly. Yeah. So >> so they can't drive either. And also behavior is a factor cuz if they're too rowdy in practice then they're not allowed to drive cuz they might get squirly behind the wheel. >> Yeah. And then that >> start causing wrecks. >> That's >> I mean for the tall people, you can just cut out the bottom, make them run like Flintstone, >> Flintstone style. >> Um, who's your sponsor and how much do they let you do? >> Uh, sponsors we have like O'Reilly, um, Evergy, I think. Oh man, I don't know.
Given all of that, the administration recommends the board approve the consent agenda as presented. Perfect. Any questions, comments, or concerns for the board? Hearing none. Like to make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll make a motion. >> Thank you. Andrea second. >> I'll second. >> Lisa. Roll call, please. >> Adam Himkin, >> yes. >> Andrea Cory, >> yes. >> Greg Meyer, >> yes. >> Lisa Schumacher, >> yes. >> Tyson Serge, yes. >> Perfect. Carries. Our next item is communications reports and presentations. Enrollment report is in your packet, I believe. And we have a very special presentation this evening from Peter Construction. >> Appreciate you guys having me tonight. So, [laughter] >> uh, appreciate you guys having me. Now, I'm Ryan uh with Project Construction, the project director for the, uh, the phases of the high school project. Uh, so, as you guys know, phase one, we're getting real close to wrapping up.
>> Yeah, >> not much you can do in 19 seconds, especially in Rocket League. >> There's a lot that can happen in a minute though. >> Looks like we take over with uh whatever you want to call it. >> kickoff, touch, whatever. >> Oh, >> just flying out of nowhere. it away. >> Jordan got demoed by >> what's his name? Emmy in the low. >> Something like that. >> Yeah, >> Team Synergy. Team Synergy. >> Oh, if they can tie it up, that'll be amazing. >> Indeed. It would. >> They're having just really good defense, too. And his flip resets on Hobart. Oh, he ran out of boost, so he just missed it. >> They let him get very close just to deny him it. >> Yeah, >> Jro just barely missing that. >> Trying to fight in the air but runs out of boost.
>> So, I'm not going to present this anywhere. Am I not going to present this anywhere? This isn't going to show up on the screen. Were I was just going to say, were you able to mail it to the other members? Email it. >> These are the pitfalls of living in a house with a metal roof and metal siding. Sometimes the emails just don't go. >> Well, Stacy got it right. There you go. Perfect. Thank you. So, the reason I wanted you to have it like this is there are some links in here that um as long as you have it, you can access some pretty good information pretty quickly. Thank you for having me, friends, in Greenfield. It's always nice to be back. >> Closer to you. >> Closer. >> There you go. >> I have a little microphone phobia, but that's okay. Um, it's always nice to come back here.
So today members of peer health began training a group of about 25 to 30 students who will be continuing with that but with a little bit of a different focus. These students will be sending out we'll be sending them out in the spring and their focus will kind of be on the importance of building communities as well as kind of us giving them some strategies that they can maybe take with them after redistricting happens. So, we have kind of given them a presentation that's focused around themes like sharing a smile, taking interest in others, and other strategies that they can use to build communities. Coming up this weekend, Pure Health will be hosting this year's Supermarket Challenge from at on Sunday from 6:00 to 7:45 in the evening, I believe. Right. Um 22 teams will be competing against each other, attempting to spend as close to $100 as possible.
>> Yeah, I think so. I think that was that penal code that on this bill mentions about uh maybe we can do the bidding process kind of be might need to be readjusted for that matter. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. >> Uh Senator Thank you, Senator Mory. Uh, Bonnie [clears throat] SPO. >> Good afternoon, senators. >> Um, so, um, going to your testimony, I I can see the problem with exempting, uh, from procurement, um, going out to bid and so forth. Um, is there any way and and knowing that the the HTA is looking for expediting especially those opportunities for sporting events and so forth, can you see a way that there could be a marriage of um some oversight or at least some way in which we curtail what they do so that's based on really trying to promote or get um contracts uh in place quickly for sporting events.
>> Yeah. Yeah, >> it's more like a safety thing for me. >> Yeah, that's fair. >> I ain't trying to die. >> Um, who is your biggest influence role model um in wrestling? >> Um, I haven't been doing wrestling for like a super long time and it's not my main sport. So, I just kind of look to the older dudes when I was a freshman and sophomore like Bryson Snell and Jacob Finny just because they're the two oldest dudes. >> How about you, Kaden? I'd honestly probably say the same thing because like middle school we really didn't have like a lot of guidance I guess and then or like the practices weren't as strict and we didn't have like other students telling us to focus and whenever we got to high school the seniors are there to like help us stay on track. >> Yeah.
Uh >> we have some like >> Carlson company. >> We have some like individual sponsors like parents and family friends who donate money to us and uh >> some people who donate their time too. >> Yeah. And then like there are major companies who donate parts and >> or money >> and money because we are a self-sponsoring team. We don't get any finances from the school itself. the booster club. >> Other than the booster club, we love the booster club. >> Uh, what's the teacher that runs? >> Mr. Evans, the modern world history teacher. >> How much does he let you do? Just anything? >> Um, not anything. He'll like, do you know how to do this? If so, then yeah. But if you don't, then no. Because we w we work with a lot of like power tools like saws or um grinders or welding.
We got the play coming up here in March. Uh we ran through some things with some struggles early on, but we are hit the ground hit the ground hard running and we are going to be having that play come March. Uh they're in there practicing now. So they're got some training coming up here at the beginning of March for the rigging and lighting and items. Um phase two, we got the gym floor poured now and we got the roof on the main gym. We're working on the roof above the corridor along the west side and then all the seal is set on the east side. uh moving like I said moving very well in there. All the overhead MEPs are going up right now. And then uh and phase three will be getting started here uh beginning of April over spring break. There will be some asbestous work happening uh for removal while kids are out of school.
>> It's fine. He has Bartolo and Jordan both. Oh, >> that sucks. >> I'm going to call it looks like first match goes to Hobart. >> Yeah, I don't think we're getting two goals in two seconds in 10 seconds. >> Who knows though? Who knows? >> Who knows? >> I think we do because they just want kickoff. >> Save. Quick save. >> OH. OH, NO. I >> WAS GOING TO say maybe maybe we could keep it off the ground. Good job to JRos for getting striker and scorer. >> What was that? Okay, we're starting the second match. >> Team two of five. >> Looks like they won kickoff. >> Mhm. They have really good kickoff. Like every time he's using all of his boost. Who was that? Bartolo. Dang. >> Get away. Get away. Get away. Get away. >> No. >> Get away. Get away.
It's a nice drive a little bit further now that I'm no longer in Hatfield, but uh, always pleasant to be with you all. So, thanks. Um, we're going to talk about the open meeting law. I know a lot of people are not fond of this, but it is one of my favorite things actually because once you do understand it is very clear what you need to do and very clear what you cannot do. I'm I'm a fan of the rules. You have to know the ones you must follow and the ones you should challenge and the ones you can just completely disregard. Open meeting law is not one you ever want to completely disregard. So the purpose of the open meeting law is to provide transparency, the balance between the need to get the work of the public done and transparency to members of the public who want to know as you as you know from having the online audience that you do um what you're doing in these meetings.
