So, I just think we need to realize that we don't know what a potential tuition out cost at this time is. That would have to be an agreement between whatever district they were choicing into and us. So, um, Jenny, >> yeah, I was just going to ask if we could have, um, Tanya come and talk to us at our next meeting about this I Ready curriculum because I know that Mickey has referenced it a number of times in her updates as the new curriculum that they're using for ELA and math. And, um, I believe she said that the teachers really like it. I know from my professional experience that introducing a new curriculum and getting teachers professionally to a place where they understand how to implement that curriculum well is a multi-year undertaking. So I I think um this 19,000 probably doesn't represent accurately the full commitment that the school has made to this curriculum.
Any questions? >> Was that in our What? >> It's in my report. >> Excuse Excuse me. It was not because we found out Friday and we submitted >> Okay. I was say I have not seen it on my >> We found out Friday. >> Yes. >> Since we all get to go back and talk now. Um something I forgot and I don't remember this but I have reached out to Britain um the KSB to do strategic planning for the co-op only. So I'm meeting with him this week to look at what that might look like. Um, and the other thing I wanted to say is that it's on the CLI front. So, uh, we went to the KISSA accreditation team meeting and, uh, we were the only one that focused on literacy and not on, um, standards alignment. And it was amazing when we sat there and listened to where they were at in the standards alignment process, [snorts] how far ahead of the game that we were because of our work with CLI.
Any opposed? Same sign. Motion passes. 6. >> I move to approve Avery Gates as an assistant high school track coach for the spring of 2026. >> Second. >> Motion by Allison and second by Josh. All those in favor say I. >> I.
Why does the police department need more space? Because as I've out as I have outlined this evening, we do not have adequate lockers, office space, interview rooms, training areas, storage space, meeting rooms, or a properly designed evidence function. Personnel are not working in an appropriate or efficient or professional conditions. They are simply working wherever space can be found. Of the approximate 4,000 square feet of our current police headquarters footprint, roughly 2,000 square feet, literally half is usable space for day-to-day police operations. That figure alone demonstrates the severity of the space constraints that we are operating under. Even with the proposed footprint of the new facility, there is no excessive expansion, minimal to no internal or external storage, and no surplus space for future growth. Only what is minimally required to function safely, professionally, and in compliance with applicable standards. So, for the purposes of clarity, what I've shared with you this evening, this information, these facts are not based on wants.
I said, "Do you want us to pick up your officer?" So then that frees up money for you to add a position at PD. And they're like, "Yes, no." And I said, "Okay." And the reason is they need to be able to pull a person off for calls or patrol if they have to. Okay. And so they're so tight on staffing and and because the schools are all in Chino Valley um the town limits um uh YCSO officer it's not in their jurisdiction to serve our schools even though most of the districts in the county the schools are all in the town. >> Oh gotcha. >> So yeah I' I've tried about 20 angles to make it work for the last couple months and this is >> best one. >> This is the best one so far.
>> Is there any sense that that's a state trend upon transition to another school there's a drop? Well, I think the challenge is across the state, different school districts have transitions at different points, but the the research would say that anytime there's a transition, it you're you're likely to see some drop in the data. >> And I would say as a state, they're seeing um kind of a a new light on adolescent literacy is the next big push that they're seeing. So, we're seeing anywhere from that fourth, eighth grade on up that the state's really going to focus in on literacy at the adolescent ages. And I would just say about literacy in general. I think what we saw in our earlier presentation is a great example some changes we have made um responding to needs and it does I mean it benefits all kids including high ability but I think we starting at an early level need to increase our expectation and that's what I mean with some of the shifts we are doing in the area of literacy.
Um some of the the masonry on the outside of the GM just has uh over time started to allow water intrusion. Um so we have the school has a a budgetary number to uh address that with the the exterior facade. It'll involve a lot of that tough pointing that I mentioned. Um because unfortunately in a situation like this, it's really hard to pinpoint what crack is letting in the water. Uh you would hate to do like 70% of it and find out the 30% you didn't touch is where the water's coming from. So it it's kind of an extensive process, but but necessary with the amount of uh masonary damage we're seeing here. This building has more different kinds of AC units than any building I've ever been in. And it's tiny. It's amazing to me that you could have all this stuff. Other main components, water heater looks looks really old because it is.
Um and that's where we start forming small groups for instruction. Uh this is one of this is the blueprint that Lynn spoke about. And so on here it has the frameworks those are and the indicators on the far left. Um but you can see more close up it shows which checkpoint specifically each standard is tested in. So what we were able to do was take our master maps and realign them. Um in grades three through five it no longer says quarter 1, two, three, four. um they say checkpoint one, checkpoint two, checkpoint three so that we know all the standards are are being covered and we're giving our students the best chance for um success within those. So specifically you can see um the left hand side that is what one of the master maps looks like. Um we have done a lot of work to link that and make that very user friendly for teachers.
And we were going to commit to staying on the right side and staying in our sidewalk. And that was our commitment for the month. And everybody was working on it. And when we came back the next month, we did a check-in. We were like, "So, how do we feel about that? Give me thumbs up if you feel like you're good. And if you feel like you need to work on it a little bit more, then that's okay, too." Um, so just to let them know that commitments aren't always have to be like 100%, but it's something that we continually work on and it's something that's important to our building that we're working on. And then we do a goodbye ritual every time and um our m our own Mr. Johnson um took the until we meet again and put a CES spin on it and before we leave every day it's like the opposite of our greeting but it's like a come together song that we sing together before we leave our congations some play it at the end of the school day some just do it at conocations and that's so our kindness tree you can see on the left hand side that was kind of our first um >> attempt at trying to do it and we did not teach the staff anything about kindness trees or recognizing and noticing um helpful and kindness acts.
I think things are looking up for moving on to round two against, I believe, Lakeland. >> Oh, yeah. I'm excited. I'm excited for that. And I'm excited for this match, too. All right. >> Oh, yeah. That's this Wednesday. I forgot >> that is this Wednesday. So, >> this was supposed to be last week. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Alrighty. So, so Bowser's going to jump off the stage using his his down special, I think. Yeah, cuz his down air is the shell one. Okay. So, he uses his down special. Easyy's dash dancing, taunting in her own special way, and they both taunt it, and it's time to get started. So, like Jaden was saying earlier, Bowser is a pretty big character. He's got a lot of surface area to work with in terms of hitboxes. And good for Izzy. Her hit boxes are huge.
And I think that, you know, it it's not as simple as saying we don't want to spend $19,000 next year. That would that would potentially be undoing years worth of investment um in staff development. So, I would just really like to understand from um from Tanya kind of what the full costs of I Ready are and what the kind of results are that we're seeing particularly from an equity perspective like how if we I know it's always really hard with a school this size to see kind of the trends um without identifying individual kids, but I would if you know any data that we can get to understand whether this new curriculum is having a positive impact across our kids and if it's having a positive impact equally I think would be really important in in making any sort of decision about whether or not this cost is justified.
So, I just want to say like and I and that's not going to meet because I don't do any of that work, but I will just say it was extremely noticeable at that meeting with three other districts how far ahead of the game we are here because of our work with >> Thank you very much. >> I think on Yeah, this recruitment and retention, you know, Donald has some really great ideas that I'm excited about because it was already been brought up twice now I think tonight where we've lost either a new hire recently or we've lost an intern that didn't take on a job here and all because they wanted to go back home. So we I mean part of her idea and I don't you know we'll see what happens if you know the board all supports it but um is focusing on recent graduates focusing on those that came from this area that came from USC 244 and not only here but then have come from um you know SEC and um Lebo Waverly.
>> Any opposed? Same sign. Motion passes 6. >> Mr. Mr. President, I move that the board go into executive session to discuss teacher negotiation for the purpose of noticing items for negotiations under the exception for employer employee negotiations under the KO MA and that we return in open session in this room at Yeah. >> 707. 707 >> motion by Josh >> with superintendent Bobby >> uh with superintendent Bobby Murphy >> second >> it did not say okay >> second by Allison all those in favor say I >> say none turn. Yeah, it's blue. >> So, item number 17, superintendent report. >> Okay, so a couple of items that I wanted to fill you guys in on. There's actually a few here. Uh, number one, daycare wise, um, we did put in for the Patterson grant. We did not even make it to the second step this year.
They are solely based on our current needs. It does not even provide for future needs. There is no wish list here. One does not exist. What does exist is the current plan that only provides for what we need, the bare minimum. Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow taxpayers, I could continue, but I submit to you that the conclusion is crystal clear. The construction of a building is not matter is not a matter of preference but a matter of necessity. The current facility is not conducive to operational needs, efficiency, regulatory compliance or most importantly the long-term health and safety of our officers and and employees. To underscore this building is unsafe, non-compliant and unsustainable. The issue has been deferred for far too long. and I respectfully ask you, the residents of Bel and mayor and council for your support in the construction of this new facility. Again, on behalf of the men and women of the Bel Police Department, I thank all of you for your time and consideration.
So Um, anyway, those are the those are the biggies for this month and I'll take any questions that you might have. >> I just, you know, the school I work at, we have officers even from Clarkdale, Jerome all over come in there. So, you know, it doesn't make sense we couldn't have some officers from other. >> So, what you do and and this is an option. Um there's something called ODM which is the officer it's the offduty management system. We could apply for officers through ODM which would mean that like so if we applied for one for Del Rio we would have a different officer who's off work that day from any jurisdiction in Arizona that wants to pick up the job. So it would literally be [clears throat] a different a different officer every single day. and ODM officers are about between $800 and $1,000 a day.
>> I just had a question. I know we're still in the process of this, but my like the high ability identification as far as the I learn checkpoints now. I know this has been a discussion before, but sometimes I learn checkpoints that kids have not been taught what's on there. So, I'm just concerned how does that affect identifying high ability? I don't know if you can speak to that. >> Absolutely. We have really been working with not our high ability council but our ELA and math councils to really make sure that especially when we think about our essential standards on each of those checkpoints. We'll have some essential standards and then some that are not essential on there and really making sure that our students are at least exposed to those essential standards before that checkpoint one opportunity one. So we are getting better at it.
The boilers are getting near their life expectancy. So, they're going to need a little bit help. Remember we talked about if there's red on your sheet for the equipment, it's usually means we got to address some things. So useful life remaining minus4 minus4 and minus 90. You know, we the the hardest part for for Chris is that if something's wrong in the building on the other buildings, he has his computer and he can see what's going on. He knows before the teacher shows up if something's wrong. Here he has to wait for Brian to call or the principal. It's there's there's no electronic system at all in the building for temperature control. So, there's a there's a big need for that and we're going to address a lot of that this coming uh summer. >> So, as I mentioned, the the HBAC is weighted differently.
That's something that I hear even just today. I was at a school. Every time I see somebody, they comment about the master map and how it's easy to use. It has all of those um parts from the DOE that Lynn described before linked right there. So teachers have everything they need to plan well and really intentionally for students. That middle big section on that master map has all those bullets and that's the scaffold that we built for them. And then the unit assessments are built in there too for them to easily um access once they've taught those and they take the checkpoint. One of this is the third page of the report we get from the checkpoints with kind of like that rainbow um colors there that tells us for one student the specific questions for specific standards that students encountered in the order they encountered it.
And so you can see like the the CES down there was kind of like the supposed to be like the tree and they everybody had the students pictures and they were supposed to when they've noticed um a student being kind or doing something helpful for the school family put the picture on the CES. Um and it didn't go as well as we thought. We're like yeah this is going to be full. and we're like, "What's happening? Only like a few teachers were really buying in and doing it." Um, so this year we just actually um are wrapping up our kindness tree um lesson and we taught our staff and about what to notice and how to notice. Um and so we have the you make a difference and so those little tickets are given. It's like a sentence stem for our teachers and for our students.
>> Exactly. Both of the big swords that this character has so good at just getting those swipes in neutral to continue the combos, swatting people off stage and that nice and big hit boxes get should be nice and easy to swat. A yeah. Oh, speaking of swatting. Oh wow, almost took the Bowser out there. Oh, I don't think that neutral special has super armor, unfortunately. She would have killed him if it did. >> I don't believe it does. Yeah. >> Oh, that does though, but it didn't hit. >> Oh, yeah. Oh, does a sidebe interrupting his forward smash. Well, semi-interrupting his forward smash. Oh, does an upbeat and kills him in about a minute. >> Very nice. Caught the landing. Bowser cannot land safely against the one stock bandit. >> Oh, yeah. Took took him down, I tell you. Took him down. >> Cutting through Bowser like butter, I tell you.
