I just wanted to make one comment. Um I Shannon, thank you for bringing it to our attention that it's $5,000 if we have to if a kid choices out of Palum. That's a cost that then comes back to us. But I want to be clear that if we were to send our fifth grade there and they did not by choice do that, we would then be paying a tuition and it would be probably five, six, 10 times, well not 10 times. I think it would be anywhere from 20 to $30,000 cost for tuitioning them in. So, please don't think that it would just be a $5,000 cost to tuition in our kids to any school. But yes, if any of our children decide decide to go to any other public school, it would cost currently for them to choice into a different school 5,000. But that is not a comparison number if we had to pay tuition to another district to take our kids.
And one other additional good news here. Um Lexi Maloto, former daycare director, and Lacy Johnson and myself, we have worked on a grant through the Jones Trust Foundation. We just found out, was it Friday? I think it was Friday we found out we got the grant. We got a grant for $78,000 for scholarships for the next three years for kids that are in need. And uh in terms of being help able to help out um we we started out uh we did this grant for half of that um but in a three-year time period past three years we basically well I guess the five years we're almost five years we're going to have a fivey year anniversary for the belt coming up in Jan in June. Um but we tripled the number of kids. So, we went from 13,000 um we we we upped our game a little bit with this grant and the Jones Trust came back with $78,000 worth of grant money for these next for the next three years to help with scholarships and tuition for those in need.
>> Any opposed? Same side. Motion passes 6. I move to approve the resignation of Karen Moore as the Wilson Elementary principal and teacher at the end of her contract for the 2025 2026 school year. >> Second. >> Motion by Allison and a second by Josh. All those in favor say I. >> I.
There is no dedicated training or meeting spaces requiring mandatory training and meetings to be conducted in our detainee processing area which is not permitted under Department of Corrections regulations. Also, any training being conducted in that space has to be halted or cancelled and that space vacated when a prisoner is taken into custody and brought into headquarters for processing. An evidence intake processing and long-term storage function was never planned for either. Even today, officers must process case evidence wherever space is available, including records areas and report writing stations. Our juvenile holding room has been repurposed to serve as our armory, which is used to store our weapons and ammunition. This space has also had to double as a storage area for our first aid and defensive tactic training aids. This now requires us to place any juveniles taken into custody for criminal or noncriminal situations into our public lobby and had to be supervised face to face instead of being in a place in an area that was dedicated to accommodate that function.
He shadowed Matt for a day, loved it, thought it over, talked to his wife and came in and talked to me last Thursday morning. He said, "Cindy," he said, "I love Chino. I loved being with Matt. I guess I don't want to put on a vest and a gun anymore." And I respect that. >> I respect that. And that's what we find is that officers who are coming out of law enforcement, unless they're younger, they're they're done. >> Yeah. >> So, because that's the other thing, we do anticipate um that um our school safety officer who's at Territorial right now will move to Del Rio next year because you'll see in your packet. >> I did see I don't think we're going to allow that. >> It's moving out of state. So, don't make him cry. [laughter] >> He's not even looking at us. Look out.
It is around $90,000. Um so when you think about a you know a district of 11,000, we get about $90,000 to provide services for that you know up to 15% of our students. Thank you. >> Um perhaps this you you identified an item line item that I was going to discuss as well and perhaps this is something that the council is going to be looking into. It looks like to the extent there's a maybe a disappointing drop off, it's with the iLearn high ability ELA data for the fifth graders, right? That only 28% are at or or I should say 28% are at proficiency and only 72% above proficiency. What's your thought on why that might be? >> Um, I'm not sure. We do have the teachers. We have a great group of fifth grade teachers that are working at the math and ELA council.
And uh again that scorecard um just kind of a visual representation. The elementary school has a lot of newer finishes. Uh the carpet has been replaced. Um just some of those those masonry items that we talked about as well as some uh upgrades. Some that will be happen happening as part of the work this summer uh as we add potentially childcare to that building. be a new drive lane drop off to support that. That's independent of the elementary school today. The Camden Early Childhood Center, uh, awesome historic building. Uh, for those of you, really cool for me as an architect to get to see these old buildings. Um, especially with some of the original items still in place like the scoreboard and the time clock is really uh, fascinating and a great, uh, outdoor learning environment in the courtyard there. uh really a great amenity for for your students.
And the goal is then to fill all those gaps before the summitive. Go ahead. Thank you. All right. So, when we're using this in our classrooms to drive instruction, I'll kind of work backwards. First, for our tier one, which is just whole class instruction where you hope to get everybody right in your in teaching. So, what we've been able to do is scaffold the lessons. I'll show you an example of a map that we've reworked this year, but we've scaffold that those lessons for teachers to show if you think to that red through blue scale. Uh those proficiencies have a descriptor. So let's say we're talking about area, it will tell us what students can do when they're in working below proficiency in area, what kind of things they can do at approaching and so on. So what we've done is we've taken all of those skills and we've put them like scaffolds.
So our next is power. Uh our next power is unity. Um skill is encouragement. And then structures are jobs, connecting rituals and kindness tree. jobs of service. Um we these are really helpful um at least in our administrative team we do jobs of service a lot with our kids that have a lot of energy or that um need breaks from their classroom get over stimulated like everybody needs a break sometimes. So we um create some jobs of service for them. Um and then also a lot of our classroom teachers are now doing jobs of service in there. gives them something to do besides just coming to our office, sitting for a five minute leg break of all the things or of those, but giving them something purposeful that they're doing and that they know that we're counting on them for it, right? That no one else can do that job, that it's theirs and that they're responsible for it.
>> To fight the Bowser. >> I mean, it is a onetock situation. So, as long as like the send just doesn't mess up royally. >> It's probably just about anyone. I would go either Izzy or Deacon, honestly, because I know Deacon would probably enjoy a big hitbox if he does decide to play one of his classic zero to death characters. >> Yep. I I would imagine. I would imagine. Yep. >> And Izzy's probably a good like neutral pick because Pyro is such a high tier character. So, if you're thinking about like counter picks, Yeah. you might not have a very solid one. >> That's true. That's true. And yeah, with Izzy playing a high tier character, she could pretty much like go against pretty much anyone and still have a decent amount of chance of winning against them. >> Pretty much at least character-wise. At least character wise.
And then only other question I had was that you know maybe the the I Ready cost is um a per building cost and not a tuition. I mean not a per student cost because it just seems really it does seem like a high dollar amount for such a small school. Hopefully we'll get that information for our next meeting. Thank you. Um, I just wanted to caution us talking about how much it would cost to tuition out students because that that's a totally undetermined amount of money. And while it could be high, it might not be high. If you read the article in the newspaper about Warwick Elementary School, they were actually make able to make a deal or I'll call it a deal with the the two regional high schools, middle schools that they send their students to for this to for their choice out students, the the people who were choice in to their schools to pay $5,000 a student to choice them out.
So, again, big big deal there. They can help out with our families and helping with with the the fees that the fees are assessed for their kids attending the Bel. And that's all I have.
>> Any opposed? Same sign. Motion passes. >> I move to approve the resignation of Hannah Gavvel as the music teacher at Wilson Elementary School at the end of the 2025 2026 school year. >> Second. Motion by Allison and a second by Josh. All those in favor say I. >> I.
Additionally, since the last time I delivered this presentation, several serious developments have occurred. These include the discovery of asbestous and lead b lead based paint throughout approximately 1,300 square feet of the basement. Four formal complaints have been filed with the public employees occupational safe and health regarding workplace environmental conditions. A workman's compensation claim has been filed directly related to the work environment in that basement. These are not hypothetical concerns. These are documented ongoing issues affecting the health and well-being of our personnel. These findings reinforce what has already been stated. Our current facility is not only outdated, it is unsafe, non-compliant, unprofessional, and unsustainable. So, let's literally answer the million-doll questions. Why does the police department need a new facility? The answer is because we are operating out of a basement, an environment that where there's documented mold, reoccurring water intrusion, and overall evidence-based substandard working conditions that presented credible risk to the health and safety of our officers and prevents operational and organizational efficiency.
Cry. We love him. Um, >> what if we don't approve it? [laughter] >> His wife might come after you. Um, and we have an officer from Chino PD who is retiring. Um, and Bry's met with that officer. I've met with that officer. That officer would like to come as an officer in good standing for territorial. We think that officer would be a great fit there. So, we'll have um Bry's had counselor on the grant before. She'll have an officer this time. Del Rio will have one that we pay for if you guys approve that this evening. Um HMS will continue to have one that PD provides at cost to them and um CBHS will have the one that we purchase his services. And the big difference, just so you know, because I asked them this um because PD needs to add positions. I said, "Do you want us to pick up your officer on the grant?" Because Caitlyn has a counselor and we could switch it for an officer.
Um, I think this year especially, some are new to teaching fifth grade. And so, they're really digging into their standards, really kind of just leaning on each other to help look at and build some resources for teachers. >> Yes. >> Well, and one thing I would say, Mr. Langford is if you look back historically, we have seen a drop in fifth grade across the board as students transition from elementary to intermediate. And so, you know, when the board weighed different structures a few years ago, one piece that we really weighed was wanting to reduce a transition for kids. And so in our new structure, fifth grade staying at the elementary, then kids make one transition to middle school followed by that ultimate transition to Avon High School. Um, if you look at our data, third, fourth, we were trending up and then fifth grade we consistently saw a drop high ability uh general education data as well.
Uh one of the big issues at Camden is light levels. Um a lot of the light levels in the classroom are lower foot candles than we would like to see in a learning environment. Uh the corridor, a lot of the corridors have this textured uh cementitious ceiling. It's hard to get lights in that. So, a lot of the corridors have uh sconces along the the perimeter of the corridors for their lighting, and they just don't provide uh the same light level quality that we would we'd like to see in a in a learning environment. And then a big one at Camden is the the cooling. Um we will be addressing that in the summer work this summer. Uh right now, a lot of the classrooms bringing cooling via kind of a residential style window AC unit. Um the problem with historic buildings, right, they're they're old.
So, so teachers are starting at those kind of below level skills and working through approaching and then at and above. So, we're trying to push them as far as we can and that's what those proficiency levels level descriptors are. So, that's what teachers are using to drive their initial instruction in class. We've also reworked our end of unit assessments um with some of the information that Lynn showed you. There are also um why can't I think of the name items uh proficiency descript no item specifications thank you that's the one item specifications and they give you exact samples of questions that students will encounter. So we've been able to take those and create end of unit assessments so that students are receiving those after the unit of instruction which then leads teachers to know before even a checkpoint if teacher if students are understanding or not and can do some reteing even before the checkpoint and then they get to the checkpoint and now we have all of this data and we can say students are passing or not passing.
Pretty cool. Um, good. Okay. Our connecting rituals. Um, we do connecting rituals during our convocations. Here are um several of them that we do. Um and then our it's something that everybody is doing at the same time with each other and that's um huge. You want to say it or no? >> No. >> Okay. >> We'll save your time. Don't worry guys. >> Um another connecting ritual we have are our commitments. Um something important about our commitments that we try to do though at our convocations is that we are working on something that we've noticed as a school family that we need a little bit of help with. So, um, one of our commitments was that we commit to we we had just put our sidewalks in, which is the tape on the floor in the hallway, um, so that we stay on the correct side and we stay in a line.
>> Yeah. Combining that with Izzy's skill. That would be a crazy match. So, it seems like they have selected. They're back in the They're back in the arena. So, all they need to do is press start and we can find out who they counterpick to. >> Did they go out of the arena? I'm not sure if they've even started selecting their next guy. I can't. Well, actually, no, because the facecam is empty. Oh, Izzy is getting into the facecam. Okay, so it looks like it looks like Izzy is here. She must have heard what we were saying or something, you know. She must have heard. All right. So, while she's uh selecting her character, do you think uh do you think the varsity team has a good chance of winning tonight? >> I I think we do. We've already taken that round one. >> Yeah, >> we have not played me or Deacon yet.
