These vendors are those being recommended for adoption. This process reflects the district's commitment to transparency, instructional quality, and alignment with state requirements while ensuring teachers and the community have meaningful opportunities for input. In addition to those vendors, vendors for advanced placement courses had to be examined to determine adopted texts for current advanced placement English offerings. The College Board provides a list of approved texts you may choose to adopt for each AP course. Texts must have been published in the last 10 years. When we last adopted for English language arts, we did not have AP Seminar and AP Research. Those were added when we were approved to offer the AP Capstone diploma. As such, you see the publishers on this slide being recommended for adoption for the corresponding advanced placement courses. For elementary, McGraill Emerge builds comprehension and background knowledge through rich complex text and explicit vocabulary instruction.
Doesn't work. Crom punishes. All righty. All right. Now we switch to Pyra and Pyra's full stick is that she has a lot of heavy damage dealing attacks like her upbey taking out the Crom right there. All righty does a neutral layer does another neutral layer and he's taking a picture to remember the moment. Golly, take a picture. It'll last longer. Although with Scott, the good times, they don't seem to ever stop. They seem to last as long as possible. Oh. Oh, never mind. He gets a forward smash right off to the right side of the stage. Holy condol. All right. Gets knocked over. Gets knocked over and does a dash attack right there. Oo. Does a forward smash, but but Mithra shields it just in time. And another forward smash from Mithra. Rolls right back and does a dash attack and a neutral air and another neutral air and another and another.
>> Any questions or comments? Any questions? >> Are we covered at the other schools then? >> Yes, every other school has one. >> Okay. Is this lined with platinum and gold? >> It's a lot of money >> for a s. >> Yeah. >> Like a space shuttles. Yeah. >> Any any additional questions? >> No serious questions.
To me, that's still a loss because any further unfilled positions are going to have a huge impact when we're already down 20.6 teachers, right? So I think yes maybe from a budgetary standpoint we don't have to worry about that salary but there's a very real impact on the service right um so I know you pro you can't give an exact impact of what it's going to be but I that is to me an important part of the narrative and the impact is that it's not just this year >> right >> it's also next year because we're going to have to rely on those funds and this there just won't be there anymore agre so that's that was my first question and then just aesthetically I like the first chart better inms terms of when you go >> I think I think it would be helpful maybe not in this iteration yeah >> yeah that that's just it's just easier for me to follow clearly that's the neither of us liked >> yeah it's just my opinion I find it easier to look at the columns um but I would just suggest if you were going to do something like this even if it's not this exact just to add another column so it's really easy to pull out what those additional reductions would be under this scenario because it's hard I mean I know cuz we've already talked about it but I think it's hard for some >> that's what I was trying to do is like provide different scenarios for you.
Chtown FTEES have been added to the fiscal year 27 budget for a total of 153,58. So those were the 22 questions that were asked uh of the administration. I want to thank the administrative team for putting the answers uh to those questions together. We're here to answer any follow-up questions they may have. That was a lot of information they had. Um, so the team is here to answer questions that you may have. So I want to uh thank the superintendent and the administrative team for a great job. I also want to thank the board. I think the board has done a great job with the questions that were asked. There were 48 I think total questions that we've asked um from this uh from this package. And I also think that uh which is great because I think this was the most comprehensive budget book we've received at least in my opinion uh since being part of town government.
Thank you again. >> Thank you, Eric. Okay, a few more things and then I want to get into um something I just want to talk about real quick. I was wondering what that was. [clears throat] Um first, uh would like to I we we sent a thank you letter. I'm going to send it to the board. I have it with me. I forgot to give it out to you guys. Uh to the VFW. uh want to thank the VFW, Mr. Keelles, your post and commander and um all the members there uh helping us with school 8 issue. Uh we had to um basically relocate a few classes um because of you know again these arctic temperatures below you know almost below zero overnight or probably some below zero. Um and uh just did an incredible job accommodating us. Um so we thank you very much.
Um but I think like starting a new system Um I honestly, it all comes from the like I'm so tired of the kids getting mad because they didn't get their grade check signed and it was supposed to be in here and now I got an office referral for the kid or like um Yeah. Getting getting the grade check signed feels like I mean, honestly, given all the technology we have at our disposal and everything, getting a like having somebody physically sign a piece of paper and then having a kid hand walk that piece of paper feels kind of silly to me. Mhm. >> it almost feels like we should be able to stand something up in Edgenuity where you could just monitor the group of students that are part of the sports team or something like that. Oh, that's true. That would be easier. All right.
The program provides direct systemic writing instruction aligned to grade level standards to support clear and coherent student responses. Emerge includes embedded supports for English learners, differentiated smallroup instruction, and an intervention resources to meet the diverse needs of all learners. Ongoing professional development supports consistent highquality implementation across classrooms. The adoption includes teacher additions, consumable student materials, and online access for students, teachers, and families. Materials support foundational skills, knowledge building, vocabulary development, multimedia learning, and differentiated practice. Teachers also have access to formative and summitative assessments tools to monitor progress and guide instruction. Spalding the writing road to reading is being adopted alongside McGraill Emerge to strengthen foundational literacy in grades K5 through a comprehensive and cohesive literacy system. While Emerge emphasizes rich knowledge building instruction and comprehension development, Spalding delivers explicit systemic multi- sensory phonics and spelling instruction grounded in the science of reading. It integrates phmic awareness, phonics, handwriting, spelling, and writing into structured daily lessons while also equipping students with clear strategies to comprehend and confidently tackle complex text for of increasing rigor.
But Crom is having none of it and does a forward smash. He gets back to the stage with the side. tries for many up airs cuz Mithra has a lot of uh she has a lot of room when it comes to um she has a lot of room when it comes to uh all her hit boxes and stuff. All right. Yeah, but what she uh but what she has in uh big hit boxes, she lacks inkill power unfortunately. But here's Pyra to take him out. Oh, which is back to my probably thought the stock was taken. It was going back to myithra mode. Oh, he goes back to myithra mode again. So, I was probably wrong. Oh, does an air dodge and a down air and an up air, but the up air does not hit. But Crom's up smash does hit through the platform.
>> Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. >> Motion carries. Brings down to item 8.7. Tyler Technology. >> Yes, Jen's got a little something there for you. If you remember a couple of months ago, we did have a um item on the agenda early uh for Tyler Technologies that was pulled when more information. Since then, uh Jen and I and Katrina have met uh countless times with those two vendors to see which is going to be the best fit for us moving forward. So, Jen, take it away. >> Correct. So um when I came here started working um and started working in our software process with comprol and I started looking at it and I thought oh my goodness this is the same program exactly the same as when I worked over 30 years at or cook schools um the only difference is they've gone cloud-based nothing much has changed about it they're not moved up with any of the technology um so we started looking at Tyler technologies and Tyler technology may sound familiar because we use them for our um transportation for Traversa in our buses.
>> Typically, I like the first one, but I might lose and that's okay. >> Well, I was going to say kind of similar to that, it would be helpful if you kind of layer. So, in the first slide, you have 13 and then this the next iteration mirrors that and says plus, >> right? >> And you can see exactly what's getting taken away. And then if you go to zero, then more is taken away. >> I did that. I had that obviously. You saw it in the worksheet work work uh >> work budget workshop that we did. I had it in a spreadsheet showing >> you here was then yellow. This is the next then yellow and the green >> and it just was like it was confusing for some folks. >> We're like numbers attached to it. >> Yeah. I would just keep it consistent because it's hard to go back and forth between this visual and the other one.
So uh that was really great. So what I'd like to do giving him a second to catch a breath I'll I'll go around and ask each one of you if there are any further questions you have clarification questions and then we'll move one to one to one and then I'll open it up to the public again. I know Felicia is online and I'll maybe Felicia I'll start with you if you don't mind. Are there any clarifying questions or other questions that that come to mind since uh since the superintendent David's presentation? >> Um no I don't have any clarifying questions. I think it was very comprehensive and um there was a lot of questions that were asked and answered and I don't have anything um further to ask. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Jordan, do you mind if I start with you or you want me start the other side?
Um, I want to thank everyone there. Uh, they came through for us. So, thank you for that. Um, also tonight, uh, there's an addendum to this a change in the school calendar. So, what is being proposed tonight? >> Can you hold out one second? I have a question. Definitely. Okay. Um so, uh we have a proposal for a new calendar, [clears throat] um uh that's on an addendum, uh tonight. uh the the board you know there are a few options there are a couple things that we discussed uh I think the board is has taken in consideration a lot of different things. Um one of the things that we want to see moving forward is um you know uh adding a celebration for Eid which I guess is difficult to pick that day until the actual year. So, you're going to see that next year.
Well, then we got So maybe it's a conversation with the APs. Maybe this is a section we like mark um >> Yeah. and it's a conversation with the APs to figure out like what's something that's feasible. There's a difference between adult convenience and can we actually do this, right? Um so I know there's a lot of responsibilities and if something is if the process is going to get in the way of the process supporting the goal, which is for kids to be taking their academics seriously, um then the process is really just a barrier. And so I I don't want to stand up anything that like is going to fall by the wayside because it's too much work or it relies on too many points of failure or whatever. Is that Am I making any sense or am I just being >> Yeah. Yeah. And just just to clarify, I I'm not I'm not against going and and doing something because the the work element.
This approach establishes consistent instructional routines across classrooms and provides strong support for English learners and students who require additional decoding intervention. The adoption includes teacher manuals, phonogram cards, and decodable text to ensure effective implementation. Additionally, McGra Hill will provide alignment support to ensure instructional resources from both Spalding and McGra Hill work together cohesively. This collaboration will reinforce Arizona standards in a comprehensive and integrated manner, strengthening foundational skills, literacy skills, while deepening comprehension, vocabulary development, and written expression. Some of the highlights of Savas learning my perspectives are that it uses a balanced approach, that it uses innovative technology, and that it has a positive impact on student performance. Included in the adoption will be teacher editions for every teacher, class sets of textbooks for every high school teacher, student consumable texts at the middle school level for every student, ongoing professional development for teachers and administrators, as well as online access for students, teachers, and parents.
And a dash attack from Pyate takes the Crom out. Holy canoli. All righty. All right. Doing plenty of dash attacks. Tries to read the roll with a neutral special. Crom answering with his dash attack. All right. My Mithra does a side special and up air. Oh, and up air right into Crom's forward smash. unfortunate to be sure. Okay. Does a dash attack, but Crom jumps this time. Mhm. Jumping right over Scott's second dash attack. Does an up special, dodging the up smash through the platform. Good job, Scott. Jumping all over Crom. Oh, and does a forward smash. Gets him right there. All right. Knocks him down with his side beat and knocks him up with an up air. Tries to go for a down. Tries to go for an up special. I would have killed at this percentage as well. Switching over to Mithra to get right back to the stage.
So our routing software, we use them for that. And then they're also point of sale service that we use for our daycare um transactions. So any of our tuitions are ran through pilot technologies. This system will be um includes all of our core business processes. So everything in HR, hire retire, everything in the business office that it is that we are preparing. So as we looked at this and we have talked with voice we have sat down with the president company um some of the pain points that we have with voice as you can see here there's real no real workflows so it doesn't easily flow from one system to the other HR doesn't speak well to payroll um we're always having to send emails or office hey can you change this um reporting is very standardized we cannot Um McCrae comes back and says, "Hey, can you give me some information on these things?
>> Yeah. Yeah. And even the difference and the third one is fine. Just keep it consistent. >> I like the colors though. It's nice and colorful. >> Yeah. I mean I mean in this one I'd get rid of the arrows because they don't really mean anything. The the district arrows don't go to the schools. That doesn't make any sense. And >> uh right. So but but you could move that up. So you could take that FT total FT and you could >> the center and all all go to it. >> Well or you could just put it there and you could have uh like right now you don't you don't have something that totals a district. So, in that in that total box, you could have a blue line that says district, you know, uh 6.2 or whatever it is or 7.2 or whatever it is.
You ready? >> Fine. I really only have one question. I did want to thank the administration for answering all these questions in detail um and taking the time to do all of this. It's a lot of work. Um so question eight um was one of my questions and does the special >> page you by the way? >> Oh uh it's question eight page 13 sorry. >> So does the special education prevalence rate continue to rise? What I was really trying to quantify there is are we seeing a trend where children are be and and I think I'm answering the question by um the rate the increase in autism diagnosis and all of that but are we seeing a trend there where we are having a higher amount of our student population year-over-year be being identified with special educ education. I wasn't really looking at it districtwide, which I do appreciate the 19% districtwide, but it was really like do in Cherry Brook are we seeing a higher percentage than at CIS, then at CMS, than at CHS?
But just want to reiterate to all those parents out there, whether whether you, you know, um celebrate Ramadan or a Catholic holiday or any other holiday, Quanza, whatever it is, um if if if for some reason the district is not closed that day and and you feel um that you want to celebrate that holiday and that worship, uh it is absolutely without any type of penalty to your child for being out that day. Um, so I'm encouraging you as as a part of our culture in Garfield that that you know uh one of the first things I did was I met with uh well that's how I I met pastor here, right? I met with all of the the congregations and everyone because that is part of community. You know I know there's always that you know church versus state kind of thing. That's many many years ago and that's where trailers first were born believe it or not.
