Good evening everyone. Um, my name is Donna Garcia de la Cruz and I am HSAF president. My name is Stephanie Hernandez PLA and I am the HSAFP vice president >> and our word HSFP is really hard for a lot of people to pronounce. Um, but it has I think it has great meaning because it stands for the high school alliance of future physicians >> and like that is what we're dedicated for to cultivate that network for those students that are passionate about medicine and are planning to pursue medicine in the future. And we also provide that early exposure to like all the diverse medical careers and specialties in the medical field as well as the different pathways they can take. And we through the activities we do, we prepare students to think, collaborate and problem solve just like healthcare professionals would do. Okay. So we've been doing a lot of things so far.
All right, I'm going to I'm going to brag on our senior class and our team a little bit. Um First one I've got uh Caleb Kirkpatrick. He got seventh uh this this season at state. Uh he was 38 and 8. He had 112 career wins, which is 17th uh all time, and he was a conference and sectional champ this year. And then I've got Caleb Cooper. He's a state qualifier for us. Uh his season record was 34 and 7. He had 117 career wins, which is 13th all time. Uh he was a conference, sectional, and regional champ avenging a avenging a tough loss last year. Uh and he was a two-time academic all-state first team. Uh and at East, especially in our wrestling program, we really drive uh our team first motto, so I'd like to like to brag on that. Uh we got we have eight academic all-state selections this year.
And a close second to that, which I think reinforces that point of sort of wanting something to hold on to, uh 35% of your non-parents, non-staff said they would like information in the Republic. What uh your website at 31% was the other option to surpass 30% for that group. Among your parents, meanwhile, 68% very clear uh majority, more than 2/3 of the parent respondents want to receive information via email. A little more than a third also like the website and online newsletters. And then 31% uh said Facebook or social media. So this is a reminder of the information presented on the survey about uh how the funding from the 2020 referendum has been used, some of the successes that have been seen on that, and a way for folks to get more information on the referendum performance goals. We then explained that the funding approved in 2020 will expire in 2028.
What's Tom's coffee get? It's they have a truck that's that color and they go around and they'll they'll park fundraiser thing and they give a portion of of their sales. >> Oh no, that's different. >> This one um they're the same owners as Kona Ice the slushy. >> They just come sometimes, right? >> They come once a month to our campus. Um student council um has a partnership with them. So that's why they're getting that kickback, but they organize it and teachers can order ahead of time and then our students, they come during the lunch. >> So they're here on campus for about two hours. So students can go out during their lunchtime and get a drink and then come back in. Cool. >> So it is about once a month that they that they come. Well, I just didn't Okay, cool. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve the donation from Tom's coffee.
>> Any questions that I can answer? >> We do PSATs in the fall, right? >> Yes, sir. We did. >> Have we heard anything? Yes, we have that data. I think I I presented it and I can get you some of that information. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. >> All good. Thank you. >> So, um from the academic side of the world at the elementary, um this is our I read week. So, we've we've prepped a lot and the kids have worked hard, the teachers have worked hard, and this is week to show what we know. And so, uh, tomorrow and Wednesday, the third graders will take the iid. Um, it will be Thursday and Friday, our second graders will take I and we have a handful of fourth graders, um, who received some good cause exemptions. They didn't have to stay in third grade, but they'll continue to take that IE just to be monitored as well.
>> And that's fine. I just is my error. I I thought Mr. Angler was going to be virtual and I thought that you and John were going to be in purpose in person, but uh right >> we plan to be in the future. We we will be in person for the uh for the meat of it when we get into the uh specific uh topics for discussion for the next hearings. >> Okay. I did run off um the template for both of you. I thought that you were going to be here so that you could follow along. So you some of this stuff is going to be the first time that you'll see it. We we've um um exchanged emails, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise, but uh but so that we're clear, uh yourself and John have been um um approved by Mr.
Um, we we also I mean I think a bit of good news is that um we've received support from uh the opioid committee to um to fund after school programs for us approximately $100,000. We had previously built that into our school choice spending plan. So, it's possible that we could shift money. So, we will be using the opioid money and not using school choice money for about $100,000. That could uh we could adjust our school choice spending plan for that and then, you know, gain $100,000 here essentially. Um that's not a lot of money. you know that's8% but it's it's a it's a staff member you know position so it's significant but >> um >> Mr. Nunes >> yeah sorry Mr. N >> quick question and again I didn't bring any of that stuff what have we got in school choice right now Mr. Kylie, >> we have uh let me see.
It's no longer a liability in that sense, right? Like as long as we're following the law. But, you know, to to your point, I there's seven of us and it's probably worth a discussion for all seven of us. But, you know, I I would I would ask for a robust discussion around that. >> That makes sense. All right. So, that's the plan. Okay, >> the next item we have tonight is these are items for third readings. So these things were probably a bit more familiar with these are new policies that were legislatively driven. Um, I'm sorry. I'll share screen here. And you know, Matt talked about, you know, the contemporary nature of uh things and uh maybe people trying to get ahead or whatever. The the state adopted a law that requires us to adopt policies around the library collection development and maintenance policy. Um you'll be happy to know that nothing in here is um stuff that we don't already engage in.
Uh we've brought in a good number of guest speakers from different medical fields. We've had people from nursing. We've had physical therapists. Uh we had um pharmacists come in. Well, not really. Uh virtually. >> That's still awesome. >> And we've had a lot of different activities from again different medical fields. We've also done we uh volunteer work. We've made cards for um >> it was a good Samaritan Hospital physicians. >> Yeah. Good Samaritan Hospital. Uh, and we're we're always trying to offer students opportunities for webinar and other volunteering opportunities outside of school and just different things that could open them up to different medical fields. And looking ahead, we are looking forward to introducing our new leadership team, which we are going to finalize this month, choosing our officers for next year since all the board is going to be um seniors. So, we're going to be graduating this year.
We got eighth uh as a as a team in the state tournament. Uh we got fourth uh in 3A state duels, which I think we've got top four in the past 6 years in a row. Uh we were conference team champs with a school record of eight individual champs. We had six state qualifiers this year, which is the second most in school history. We had five state placers, which is the second most in school history. And next year we'll have four return returning state placers, which is the most in school history. Thanks. >> [laughter] >> Which one's Hank the Tank? Okay. Congratulations, guys. Thanks for representing us. >> [applause] >> Congratulations to the student athletes. Are Do we have parents here? I assume tonight. Parents, could you raise your hands? We thank YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THESE students and these athletes and the coaches.
We explained that the funding provides approximately 10 and 1/2 million dollars in property taxes in 2026. And that the district needs to plan for the future. And asking is asking the community to provide input about renewing the current operating referendum at a lower cost to taxpayers. A renewed referendum would provide an average of no more than 9 and 1/2 million dollars each year from taxpayers. And we outlined some of the things that with that funding the district could continue to do including maintaining compensation, supporting school safety, and providing STEM opportunities. Then we asked the question. Would you support renewing the operating referendum to provide our schools with approximately 9 and 1/2 million dollars each year? So this slide is just the staff resident respondents. So this is staff members who live within the district's boundaries. 87% of staff residents said they definitely or probably would support renewing that operating referendum.
Get back. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I oppose. Same sign. Extension. Motion carried. The next two are are strike from the agenda.

So, they'll be taking that tomorrow. Um you we generally score around you know about at or above that state average kind of range but we've really worked hard second and third grade teachers have really worked hard and our paras and trying to really address curricular needs that could support our kids. So um so yeah tomorrow it's day we'll start showing what we know and uh I'm sure I'll be reporting back on that. Um, as far as other academics, we finished up our last writing PD that we've been working on this year with Melissa Gil. That that was great. The whole process was great. Um, we've already just kind of started sort of a curriculum um revision on that, which grade levels are going to going to really own which pieces of that writing continuum and to what level. Uh, we'll continue working on that and that writing PD will continue next year as well.
Angler to answer these questions, I'm assuming, or >> Yes, we're here. >> Stipulated facts, I'm sorry. >> Yes, we've been authorized to discuss the project and answer questions tonight. And Mr. Angler's on. If if if there's something we can't answer, he can he can chime in as appropriate. >> Okay. We have five stipulated facts that we'd like to clarify first before we can move on. And I can send you um I can send you this template after the meeting uh Chris so that you'll have it uh in front of you. And the first one uh is approximately 95% of the site is within flood plane. Do we agree to that? >> I don't know the exact number. I haven't calculated. This is John Cusk with Bowler. But a substantial portion of the site is within the flood plan. >> What was the last thing you said?
I'll give you that in a second. >> We're going to end FY26 with 2.1 million. Does that sound right? >> Right. That's that's that's the current plan. We would probably adjust that plan by about $100,000 based on the opioid funds. We we actually are just starting up a um a elementary afterchool uh program just now. Um but we were we were very pleased that u you know that the town is willing to support that program and hopefully we'll be continuing forward with with those opioid funds. >> So we we could have a little bit more >> in school choice by $100,000 at the end of the year. So, I mean, this doesn't just speak for this year. This speaks for next year and the next year and the next year. >> This is just what I was just going to say. It goes back to what we also talked about last year with using school choice funds that in like three years, it was exhausted, right?
Basically it recognizes the professional capacity of the library to select uh materials for people and uh can you guys see that? Okay. Should I make the screen larger or you can just >> I'm pretty familiar with it. I don't need to read it again. Really? >> Is that easier for folks? >> Yes. >> Yeah.

Was it these two items under the third reading agenda where one said like based on a diverse set of uh Let me pull up the second one.
And we're also looking forward to possibly doing a dance marathon fundraiser at a lower scale. Since as being an emerging club, things have been really like fast. And we also want to go into more hands-on experience with specimens for the students in our club just so they can get gain that experience with actual living things. And we also are looking forward to our virtual reality emergency department escape room. I think that's going to be really fun. And similar to um Swex, every month is designated to a specific career. Um this month is going to be radiology. We're going to have a radiologist come in to speak to um the students and we are going to be doing kind of like a trivia with it. A game show actually. Game show. >> Yeah. And for our next steps, we hope that our um leadership team that is going to take over is able to participate in schoolwide dance marathon, which we have talked with our activities director.
We appreciate it. Congratulations on the achievement. Mr. Stinner, I'm pretty sure that these parents disagree with Mr. Miller that it was difficult to keep these kids hungry this year during the season. Pretty easy to keep them hungry, right? The next item on our agenda, number three, school board member reports. Uh I'll start off. I've got a couple. Um Item 3B tonight. Um We've got first reading on a draft policy. Policy D525 is the name it's been given regarding school employee injury reporting. Uh Dr. Phillips, that's been posted. The appropriate notice has been given. Director, according to the board policy on passing policies, we need to post uh any proposed policy 2 weeks prior to the first reading, and that was done 2 weeks prior tonight to tonight. Um And so, it's been posted since that time. Um Next steps would be for the board, according to our policy, for the board to determine if anyone wishes to schedule a work session on this topic uh between now and the second reading.
6% said they definitely or probably would not. And the remaining 7% were undecided. When we move on to parents, 73% said they definitely or probably would support renewing the operating referendum. 11% said definitely or probably no. With the remaining 16% undecided. Finally, that non-parent, non-staff group, 60% said they definitely or probably would support this. 26% definitely or probably would not. And 14% were undecided. Now what we have to do with those numbers then is some waiting for what your electorate is likely to look like on election day. So about 75% of your voters are going to be non-parents, non-staff. And about 25% of your voters are going to be parents. So what we do is we weight the support from those groups to come up with uh like what we would predict for support for this referendum if it were held today. So in that equation down there, the 0.25 represents the 25% of your voters that will be parents.
