Tom, can you please explain that? >> Yes. Uh what happened was the uh resolution to transfer the liquor license, we had a request from their attorney to delay it until the next meeting on the 23rd. As to the uh authorization of the mayor and clerk to execute the agreements with the affordable housing people, our housing attorney uh Mr. Serenian has requested that we carry those two until the joint meeting with the planning board on Wednesday. So that was done. And the uh the other one was the administrative manual. As it turns out, we don't need an administrative manual. You only need that if you're going to rehab existing So since these five units under the affordable housing plan are new units, we don't have to do that. So that we just remove those resolutions and the balance will remain. Thank you. Resolution A to adopt the affirmative marketing plan prepared by Peter Van Den Kui PP ACIP of Acuity Consulting Services.

So, this is not the number that you that we want you to see tonight. We want you to see this number on Wednesday because we don't have it on the agenda to be posted for today.

So, Dr. Windom, I'm sorry, Sycamore, not Cedar, Sycamore. >> Thank you, Mrs. Parent.

DCS is getting an additional counselor behavior specialist and we welcome that position." We were also told that we would be adding the position of a title one teacher. Again, we welcome that position. Those positions will benefit our students and staff. However, we were not informed of the loss of the assistant principal at DCES. This would have been a great opportunity for the superintendent to explain the benefits of this decision. On February 27th, a brief meeting was called for all the elementary staff at DCS. Dr. Dr. Moore read the two new job descriptions and then announced the reassignment of the assistant principal. The meeting ended short shortly thereafter. This would have been another wonderful opportunity to discuss the benefits of losing the assistant principal position at DCES with the staff. Superintendent offered to answer staff questions individually. The DCTA met with superintendent for a March corporation discussion meeting and administration staffing change was never discussed.

Anybody want to say anything? That's why they're >> These are the behind the scenes guys. >> Great job, guys. Thank you. Next up, we are going to recognize Mr. Quinton Mloud. He's got a speech prepared he's going to share today for a boy state wrestling finalist. So, Mr. Strong or you want to say something? >> Uh, thank you for the opportunity to recognize such a great young man, great ambassador of Loganport High School. Um, Mrs. Stark, you kind of made a joke about his speech. Quinton doesn't talk a whole lot. He lets his wrestling and his performance do the talking. And what a great year. He he uh his only loss in the regular season was in the conference championship match. Uh so he went through with with just one loss all year. Won the sectional, won the regional um and then uh had a great day up at semiate to advance to to uh the state finals.
So, the coaches must disclose with one another in private the fighter for the first player on each team in the set. And after a player has lost the game, they will be eliminated from that set. I mean, it's hard to fight if you don't have lives. So, and after a player has won a game, they must continue with the same fighter until they lose within that set. All right. And any stocks the person lost in the previous round or the rounds before in before that round, uh, they must self-destruct to lose their stocks, which means you can't hit the other person until they self-destruct, which is jumping off the stage and effectively taking the stocks themselves and then taunting to let the other team know that they're ready and then the battle will commence. All righty. So it looks like So it looks like we're sitting in the arena right now waiting for the other team to come in and they just have arrived into the into the battle arena.
Someone else told them they're worried about kids making up stories about staff. Another said it's just for safety. Another said they're not new. If this is what staff are saying, imagine the rumors that are spreading around children and that they are coming up with. If there is a compelling reason to install these cameras now at this point in time, families deserve to know what happened or changed so drastically in the school to create these dire safety concerns that did not exist before. And in that case, families deserve to know what else is being done in conjunction with the cameras to address this new dangerous conditions facing our children and staff. Surely, if the issue is big enough to warrant the installation of many cameras throughout the school, there must have been some kind of comprehensive effort to address the problem before landing on cameras being the solution.
We also have a parent survey that we're compiling now. you can see kind of the teacher input and if you happen to glance at that um and you'll kind of see the same you know what came out of site council you know building talking about wanting that support for MTSS every teacher that filled that out it's like we could use another child teacher in our building I mean there's always needs there um you know we have great people in those positions but um we always you know teachers just want to help kids as much as they can that's I I think true about you know a lot of teachers and so in a dream world can we have more support people in our staff absolutely because there's always a lot of need but overall some of your feedback there and I'll share the parent results once we have that completed so probably next month and other than that I talked a little bit about the preschool pre-enrollment so we're looking at a large pre class I would anticipate in the fall and our four-year-old class a little bit smaller.

And just a reminder, this will be your opportunity to speak for five minutes to the board, but it is not a question answer or back and forth. for discussion. So the first person is Linda >> Bristo.

So it it looks uh the numbers look good. We have a very healthy reserve. You'll see it. Our reserve for classroom site fund is well over one million. So it's very positive. So I'm sorry. So this is an additional $1,000 on top of the salaries that the teacher is making. Yeah, it's coming from the classroom site if I'm not not the ML part, not the budget source. >> And the non-ertified teach employees, are they getting anything? >> We haven't got there yet, but we are getting there. >> We're get going to get there after we get through this first. We wanted to make sure to to have our teachers taking care of this amount first because this classroom site fun can only go toward certified pass. >> Okay. >> Any other questions or discussion on that? And our next item is the 26 27. >> Yes, Mr.
So, we were not here all night. So, how we got here is our academic growth or lack of academic growth. So, this is our AASA spring scores. This is for ELA. So you can see the red dotted line. That is where the state average is. You can see how we got close in sixth grade last spring, but in seventh and eighth grade we were below the state average. Next one's shocking. It is math. So you can see the state average is about 33%. And sixth, seventh, and eighth grade are significantly low. Two grades being in the single digits. This is why we're in school improvement. And I need you guys to note something as well. I didn't put in my presentation. Um, special ed students are given the same test as general ed students. All right. So, what does this mean? This means that I get a partnership with the Arizona Department of Education.

So we are going to have to charge our families for the summer enrichment classes this year. Um we're trying to make it a uh you know a a break even as close to break even as we can on this. Um but uh so you'll see the fees in there.
