All righty. So they're going to counter pick. Who do you who do you think could um who do you think could beat Py Mithra right now? Write it write it down in the chat. Actually, that'd be pretty cool. I want to hear your guys' opinions on who Pyro who could beat Pyramithra. would you counterpick to? Or just who's your favorite character in Smash Bros. because there are a ton to choose from? Which is really cool when you think about it because all these players not only have to learn their characters, but they also have to learn all the other characters. They also have to learn all the other characters due to them all being different and having different play styles against each other, you know. All right. So, they're currently just selecting right now. They're just in the lobby selecting selecting their um [clears throat] selecting the the counter pick.
Um, and I did have one more. Um, I noticed Shannon, the numbers you estimated for I'm trying to find the page, but I'll say it and then find the page. The numbers you estimated for choice for next year 13 um are down from last year. Um, and I know we had some conversation about about that in the last school committee meeting in February. Can you just share what that's based on? Yeah. where where you >> it's just an average of the numbers above. Um and I believe it's it's either three or fiveyear average, but it there's a formula in there and that's where the 59 comes into play. >> Okay. And if we wanted to I don't know how I don't know how significant it is, but if we wanted to see that increased for next year rather than decreased, is that something easy? >> Yeah, it it doesn't matter in terms of dollars at this point.
If you're familiar with our high school, we have a unique setup over lunch that's not typically you you see at a lot of schools. So, I I think it was important for our teachers to see how a different school operated and did theirs. And we're making some adjustments to ours based off of the needs of our teachers and our students. So, really tried to hit home with our first and second year teachers to go observe other schools, see what they're doing. And then, uh, we came back and had a meeting and reported what what we saw, what went well, what didn't went well, and then what we can do moving forward to, uh, continue to improve with them. um activities and athletics. I won't read all these things word for word. Um but obviously, you know, all of our different programs have had different success over the course of the last month.
That's if they are out of district and they wish to come to one of our buildings next year and we have a room for them. We would have to accept them unless there's some discipline problems or something like that. If they are an in district student, we have to take them regardless of where we're at. If we're at zero and they're an in district student, we have to take them. So, um, this has to be posted on our websites once it's board approved and also on our Facebook page as well. We'll put it out there. So, we always get a little confusion with parents because at this time they think, well, enrollment's open for next year. Well, it's not for district students. It's for out of district students that wish to come.
Many years ago, the federal law came into place where every public building has to be fully ADA compliant. Otherwise, you're you're susceptible to uh lawsuits if somebody can't use the facilities. And right now, you can't use that facility if you're in a wheelchair. in the new facility completely compliant all the way through. The next few slides are images renderings of what the building would look like. This first image is from 71 and it shows the burrow hall entrance here. The building the materials on the building I will say are take its cues from the existing building is red brick. We have uh red brick for the for the main body of the building. a one-story volume that wraps around to the backside as a darker gray building uh brick to not call attention to it. Uh there's a stone base that wraps the sides and marks the entrances.
The high schoolers are a smaller number in comparison to the um the second to 8th grade because that's the group that actually does the benchmark. first kindergarten and first grade down benchmark testers. So the larger number of students are in that second to 8th grade about 70 69 70 students in the lower elementary and middle school and high school is about 3.3 kids that are there. So and that was first benchmark. second benchmark similar numbers. The highly proficient number for math went down, but the ELA numbers were a bit similar. >> And the kids that we're we're talking about right now, these are the Native American kids that are registered that have done those forms or all the kids anyway. >> That's all the kids, not just the ones that have registered. That's all the kids. all 10. >> So, anybody identified as Native American in the applications?
kids are receiving instruction at a higher level and they are um will also get credit for having more kids in an inclusion setting. The state values inclusion and gives us points for it and takes points away from us if we're not doing what they want us to do. >> Okay. >> And we were actually barely a D. >> I'd like to point that out. >> Less than a point. >> Yeah. >> Like less than a whole point. Okay. So, we're gonna get a beat next time. >> Oh, >> yeah. [laughter] We appreciate your positivity. [clears throat] >> I just think that you've implemented a whole lot of uh improvements and reforms and it's uh it's really fun to see. It looks like there's been some growth and I commend you for that. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. >> Any further questions, comments? No. >> Great.
Um it was not until January of 2026 that the student received feedback that their application was incomplete and they were denied admission um due to not receiving their their transcript was not received. Um and so a conversation was had you know obviously not going to name names um and there you know it was a very productive conversation between myself students mom and uh the assigned counselor and what came about from that conversation is there is a um there's a discrepancy in the checks and balances of okay a student filled out the application on Naviance or uh college I forget the name there's another general app. Um, and then there's a separate folder that students have to go to to find another form that is the actual transcript request form. It's not on the general college app application that they use. Um, and so the guidance counselor did agree that there needed to be something that would alert them of, hey, this senior has completed this portion, but we do not have their form.
Mechanical electrical plumbing, he kind of commented, "We've done a lot of work with your district over the year." So, that is in a very strong position. Um, there's really only like one facility we'll talk about that kind of needs some updates, and that's kind of slated to get some updates this year. And I know I'm going here, but I should have said we will definitely have time for questions, too. We're not going anywhere. I'm sure everybody wants to be here entire night, but we're happy to answer questions or stop me if I'm going too fast. Just want to make sure we we get through the important items tonight. So, I'm going to start. This is beginning with the end in mind. And when our architects and engineers go through the buildings, every system, every component, they're all in here. All the sheets are in here.
And so when I saw the 1.1 back then has grown to 2.1 before they combined these, please know that's why they're in good shape. That's why Jay can do what he's doing is he's done the work with this board in the past seven years to be ready for this. But I will be clear, uh Michelle Babcock was asked in her first interview, what is your plan at your district and what would it be for ours on textbook adoption with these changes? And she got into the weeds pretty quick about what that plan looks like two years out, 18 months out, 36 months out in terms of budgeting for that. So, uh I think we're very prepared. I I think also we're prepared in a manner that maybe a lot of districts aren't due to previous work that's been done here by the board and Mr.
Curriculum and testing. Mr. Spana. >> Um Mr. Peterman would like to do some rearranging of some science classes at the middle school. try to uh hit a group that sometimes doesn't always get um taken care of. So, sixth grade would be general science and then based on recommendations by teachers and then how they also did on the sixth grade I learned science test um we would then have in seventh grade a general class and then in seventh grade an advanced science class. As we move into eighth grade, we would also then have a general eighth grade science class and then we would like to do an earth space science class and then those eighth graders um would actually earn a high school credit at that level with the earth space science class. So, we're just kind of presenting it and seeing what your thoughts are and talk about a little bit later.
So all of our um classes were divided into four different houses and each house had one classroom of each grade level. So um like they were the Congo, the savannah, um shores and oceans um and Congo. Did I say that one? Yeah. >> Say the one uh >> polar polar ice snow. Um and so but they all like that kind of was like their their family per se. Um and then we introduced buddy classrooms within that. So every class has a buddy classroom that they do things with. So fourth grade has a kindergarten class that they come and do things with. Um and so we were able to kind of make connections that way. And those have stayed the same the last couple of years. Those classrooms have stayed the same. Um and so those teachers are working together and building relationships and the kids throughout the year are as well.
Maybe they're reading the chat to see who who they should counterpick to. Alrighty. So, yeah. See, yeah, this could be our this could be uh the last round of round one. This could be the last match of round one. Oh, and it looks like they have selected is to All we need to do now is press the start button and we're going to see who the character is. It would appear to be a kneebrawler, which is a very interesting choice. See, the Miis have a lot of different special abilities. cuz you know they have a possibilityility of three for each of their special moves for neutral special, up special, side special, and down special. All of those could be one of three moves. So yeah. So Izzy's going to have to um Izzy's going to have to strategize and sort of find out >> find out uh what which one this uh me has.
It's it's just a projection um based on an average. That's it. >> Okay. Thank you. That's all >> David. >> Thanks. Um thanks a lot Shannon for your presentation and for the all the work you've done here on the budget. Um I had a couple questions just looking through. I guess my main question looking through I was wondering if you could just help clarify. Um, I believe Rachel just asked part of this, but on page six, one of the things that jumped out to me was just the almost doubling on the teacher line between fiscal year 25 and 26. It was like a 90% increase. And then uh I also had a similar question about the counselor increase. That was I think >> Yeah, there's a good It's quite >> Oh, go ahead. >> No, no, that's great. I'm just trying to figure out where like if it's possible to see what the change in actual spending is versus just like moving line items around and I didn't know if you could clarify that.
Um you know, if there's any questions about those particular activities, I'm willing to answer some of those. I didn't want to read word for word on all of those, but if you've been asking any questions, we'll be glad to answer that. >> Um the art You said, you know, we'd love for them to present to board members. I think that >> Yeah. Yeah. That we will and Miss Spangenberg does a fantastic job with our art department. Yeah. That that would be something that if you guys would like, we'd more than happy to bring our kids down here and show them their work and we had some students that got honored. >> Yeah. So, yeah, we can definitely get on that. And yeah, a lot of good things in our art program right now. So I feel like our school does a really good job of giving an opportunity to every kid in a multitude of different areas.
So, >> anyone have any questions? >> Teacher wise, you said we have 16 in high school, middle school. >> Yes. Are we looking at that? >> Not at this time. We're not. >> We'll have some spots that we have to fill moving forward as well. So, um, we anticipate staying at the same numbers. >> I move to approve the open enrollment numbers for 2026 2027 as presented. >> Second. >> Motion by Allison and second by Josh. All those in favor say I. I.
The upper floor has a cement board siding and trim. The roof is a metal uh standing seam mansaw roof that will hide all the mechanical equipment. And the very top of the building is only 33 feet tall. we start to wrap around. So, this is closer to the street corner of 71 in Union Lane. And you begin to get a hint of the police on the right hand side. And then wrapping all the way around uh you see the police entrance and then the uh police garage on with the gray brick to sort of keep that in the background. Um and again the the body of the first floor is the police and the main part of the role of the second floor is the administration. Thank you. Uh next up would be the civil engineer to talk about the site and the u phasing.
>> Um, that's that's included in this number. What percentage of the school is that? Do you have any idea how many what our what's our percentage of Native American kids in our school? >> 25% of our kids are. So, it's a pretty significant population. 25 to 28% of our student body. >> So what what I see there is is that about 10% of 25% of our school is proficient at math. Am I wrong that what >> 10% of the time >> for just to ethnose those numbers are just for second grade. So yeah and for the high school the numbers are pretty similar. We have a larger number that got highly proficient in the second benchmark at LA and for math. So um that was a good improvement for the high school students moving up for highly proficient. That's where we want them to be particularly moving into state testing.
Thank you. All right. Item 6B, superintendent report. >> CBHS student council. >> Okay. Not on here. [laughter] >> Not it. >> Okay. Not. >> Okay. All righty. So, a couple of things that um I want to chat with you about. [laughter] At your spot, you have an invitation from Sunrise Lions and there's information on the back if you would like to attend. They just sent it today asking us to um see if board members are interested in attending. Uh all of the students at area schools who have a 4.0 know are recognized at this event and so it will be if you want to attend it's can I hold yours up just for a second because I don't have one. So it looks like this. So if you want to go you can um email Miss Audrey. You don't have to send the RSVP form in.
And so, you know, he did say that this is something he's going to get back with his team, but I want to show concern and that this student now cannot go to this university. And that scares me. That is unfortunate. Um, and furthermore, in that conversation, it was brought to our attention that the guidance counselor had not met with the student about their post-graduate plans at all. Um, the student had met with another staff on the guidance team. um simply because the IU group's application requires a recommener. So that was what triggered the meeting. There are no meetings in place that happens fall semester of senior year to ensure hey what are your plans after high school. Um and that is very alarming to me and maybe there are these things in place and maybe this student just ignored them. I can hold accountability there.
