So move. Second, >> Dr. Moore, >> and I'll invite Laura up. Laura, >> thank you so kindly. >> Are you Are you awake back there? >> I'm awake. >> Let's get it. Let's get >> hot. Like, we can get some air condition in here. >> I'm sorry. That was funny. So about a month ago, um the charger for our electric bus, our darling electric bus, um quit working. Called in um backup to have them update it. They updated it. One of the modules in it would not update. They said it should work. It worked two weeks. Um and then they say now it is obsolete and no longer serviceable. the company that manufactured the charger is also out of business. So, >> the new charger that I'm looking at um will charge the bus about twice as fast as a 40 watt or 40 kilowatt charger opposed to the 25 kilow we currently have.
>> I'll help you with >> u I want to thank the mayor and council for their work on the proposed project and and the architect as well. Um I my office is right next door to the real post office and uh quite frequently I've the occasions come about where people stop into my office and talk about the uh municipal building. Um, I design I designed the renovation of of the building in 1990 and um, I agree with all the concerns and issues that everyone's uh, voiced. Uh, Chief Olsen in particular. Um, uh, Chief, please understand or try and remember when we delivered the building back in 1990, it didn't look like your your slides. I >> agree. >> So, uh, various issues, maintenance, whatever. How that how that arrived at that point, I I don't know. Um what uh people have asked me and commented on is that they're open-minded to the uh new building, new facility, but they're also kind of torn about losing the existing building.
Um, Mr. Dan Eisenberg will be piloting the the program. Um, we also be looking for that 60 days to check it out and be having a a meet meeting and curriculum uh group that's going to meet on this this one as well. So if you have any specific questions about school links, Mr. Praa is here. >> CTE budget picking this up, not the regular budget. Correct. >> That's correct. >> Yes, that's correct. This is a CT schooling. gives them giving them a choice of careers is awesome. So, I like that. >> Yeah. And I feel like this will help give them a little bit more guidance with what they've been doing, not so much the teacher having to pull things together. So, >> and this is for our ninth graders, our freshmen. >> Good. So, that'll be before they actually go to CTE. >> Yes.
We're still figuring um those pieces out. And then some of our special programs of Strive and Impact and Oasis, our special education um programs and those are were at capacity. And then Avon Academy also um were at capacity. The other piece um you from talking earlier, we did have 50 students we list on here for the virtual they had they would have to be in grades 9 through 12. Um based on if everything works out, we're bringing it tonight at the board meeting. Um if you approve it, the window would technically begin tomorrow and then the they would have to apply by June 12th. Um and then we review all the applications and then begin the notification process if a child if a student's accepted or um denied.
Has a little bit longer cord which would be a big benefit so we don't have to park it as close to the building as what we currently do. Um, with this quote, it also extends the warranty to 5 years. Um, I've looked at some other options of trying to trade in the bus. Um, asking for any and all suggestions. I've talked to just about anybody that would listen to me at Kurland's. Um, so yeah, I made some great friends.
And I have they ask me if any preliminary designs for additions or renovations or corrective uh concepts have been put put forth. And my answer is that no. I'm not aware of any. So uh if if it possibly could be looked in further, we're going to I'm gonna have he's going to answer that question for you. We did kind of look into that.
>> Oh, that's great. Okay. >> So, this is an action item. I'll make a motion. It is recommended to approve the pilot of school links and career exploration cost. >> And I will second that. All in favor? >> I thank you ladies. >> Good job, Eric. >> I can't wait to hear back on. >> Okay. Item 11 A is just first reading of policy 3-43. [snorts] That would be great. >> Daniels, do you have anything to >> It's secretar's handling. >> Mr. Campelli. >> Good evening, Madam President. Uh, superintendent Daniels. >> AI use policy. Does this mean you can't like put a principal in like a swimsuit or anything like that? Or >> does it mean principal [laughter] swimsuit? >> Oh, in a swimsuit. >> Smoking a cigarette or something. Well, >> none of that. >> Um, so [laughter] >> about your your picture, >> your AI picture.
Any questions about open enrollment? >> Well, it'll be a bit of a segue from the last topic to this one. And I noticed the open enrollment you've got listed as 50 for virtual. How did we arrive at that number? >> Yeah, I mean we kind of went back and forth. We um looked at what our current numbers are and you know we are not our goal is not to have kids go from the Avon high school to Avon online, the Avon virtual. And so really we're seeing that are more our target is outside enrollment of kids who are looking at virtual um enrollment virtual education. Sorry. But why why 50, I guess. I mean, why why it just feel like the right number? >> Well, I mean, I think we were trying to think about capacity, um, of what we could handle. And so, um, we we've had conversations back and forth.
>> Any uh any questions or comments for Laura? So, what will be the charge time now with this new charger? >> Um, I don't know yet. >> So, it currently takes four to six hours, >> right? So, I'm going to guess probably three hours maybe. Um, and which we've put it on a county route, so it does get a lot more miles than what I used to drive it. My whole six miles a day. So, we are starting finally to rack up some miles on it, but um it currently has just about 25,000 miles on it and we've had it this is our sixth year. >> How many more years do we expect to run it? >> So, the charger breaks again >> or the batteries battery. >> Well, and I I made a salary but with the gentleman at Kurland's and he didn't want to take me up on it.
Uh good evening everyone. My name is uh Joseph Ciserano. I'm an architect with H2M Architects and Engineers. Um >> uh going back into the uh latter parts of 2022 and 2023, uh we were retained by the burrow and put some design efforts to address several of the current deficiencies or um issues that are going on with the building. to list them briefly as the chief and everyone else has already outlined. Um the uh uh the violations that the police department is currently in without having a sally port uh without having accessible route for detainees. Uh we were looking at roof replacement. We were looking at mechanical system upgrades for the police department. We were looking at a new backup generator, a new boiler amongst other infrastructures. the scope creep or the amount of items that kept snowballing as we were investigating how to design or accommodate or uh the um or I I'll say eliminate the violations really started to ramp up the cost and at that time when we had put a design in place for an addition for a sallyport an elevator and renovations in the building we got third party cost estimates from a cost estimator and and just the hard costs at that time were coming in I think 3.15 to 3.2 million.
>> Oh, can you not mention we're live [laughter] >> in a bikini? I look good >> at her desk. >> At my desk. >> All right. Tonight I'm presenting [laughter] a review of the proposed artificial intelligent use policy uh for Chino Valley Unified School District. Uh as AI tools become more common in education, it is important that we establish clear expectations for the responsible and appropriate use. policy provides guidance to ensure AI supports teaching, learning, and district operations while maintaining student privacy, academic integrity, and staff oversight. >> The policy outlines guiding principles emphasizing that AI must be used in a safe, ethical, and educational purpose way. Um, it should not support nor replace human judgment. It also establishes expectations for both students and staff. Students may use AI when permitted by their teachers, but but may not submit AI generated work as their own. Staff may use AI to support instruction and professional tasks, but must review all AI generated content, protect student privacy, and use district approved tools when you when working with students or district data.
And so, we don't there we know some other districts had a lot larger number and that was not our goal. We wanted to start small, um, to make sure we could handle this and do it well. Um, I had a couple of questions about the changes in specific grades. Seems to me that last year we said 30. I mean, we did because the slide says that, but we said 30 in second grade. And it occurs to me that we did that because we were piloting checkpoints or that that had some bearing on it because we did not want to necessarily overburden a piloted program. So this year it looks like we're going to 40 um the capacity in that but seventh and eighth grade switched. >> Um so what was the reason for going in seventh from 30 to 40 and in eighth from >> other way around 40.
So, um he suggested that our battery life on the bus was well over 90% uh longevity still. >> Yeah. >> So, >> do we have one bus? >> We have one currently. It has a little bit of a charge on it, but it's been sitting for the last month because I have to charge it. >> I need to fix it. $400,000 bus, >> right? I can't hardly trade it in if it doesn't have a charge either. I mean, >> the battery life should be 15 years, I think, was what the minimum promise was. I forget what the guarantee was, but >> I don't remember. I wasn't involved in that part. Yeah, >> I disrupt it. >> Okay, thanks Laur. >> Okay. Uh, all in favor of 8J the purchase of the Kurland bus sales EV25 charger as presented say I. >> I oppose. >> All right.
So figuring soft costs and potential cost overruns for renovating an existing building, you could have been you know pushing uh 4 million or higher. So those considerations were uh vetted and designed at that point in time. The reality was even if we had done the the addition, the renovations, the the roofing, the mechanical systems, you still would have had a 100 plus year old building. you still would have had the same spatial constraints that the police department has. You still would have had um potentially future water intrusion issues through the foundation because again it's a 100 plus year old foundation that is made of porest materials. So I think that that cost and that exercise at that time is one of the genesis of what prompted the burrow to look into building a new facility because of the exorbitant cost that would take just to renovate the existing structure.
Uh this is intended to be a standalone policy uh likely placed in chapter 3 under technology although the trust will determine uh the final placement. We are also currently developing supporting forms from the trust form bank uh to assist with implementation which we plan on is that next school board meeting. Hopefully we get all those uh forms done by then for your review. So thank you.
>> So really looking at our cohorts of students. So we're looking at how many kids are enrolled in those grade levels right now. Okay. And so when you look at K12 those are smaller grade levels for us. And the same thing with eighth grade. when we look at our our current I mean our current seventh graders sorry right when we looked at those our current kindergarten our current first grade our lower numbers and our current seventh graders are lower numbers so we really were looking at our overall current enrollment >> so we're just seeing the enrollment swell going through the system >> correct >> you're just u modifying for that on a year-by-year basis correct >> thank you >> as far as this recommendation push usward toward the the capacity for the room. >> No, we're not at capacity um in our schools um by any by and no, we're not shooting for capacity.
Motion carries. Okay. 8K. Hey, I'd like to get a motion to discuss the DCSSC strategic plan for the 2026 through 2030 school year. >> So, second, >> Dr. Moore. >> Uh, so this is the information that I presented during our last board meeting. It's been shared with our community. It's been shared with our staff and also shared with our students at the through the superintendent student advisory council. So, at this time, I would like to have your approval. There any further questions or comments on her presentation of the plan? >> And we are approving what that with the plan just that we accept the the recommendations to consider or what is that exactly are we approving? >> The plan is written that's presented in the report here. >> So we will adopt everything in it. >> Correct. >> Okay. the motto, the mission, the vision, the goals, and the action steps.
And at the end of that exercise, you'd still have a a uh substandard facility. >> I Okay, I I understand what you're saying. Um was there ever an investigation of where the water table is? >> Uh at the time, we did perform a couple of test borings. Uh I believe the water table was found to be uh if I'm going off memory, I think it was greater than 12 feet uh below adjacent grade to the building. So the water table uh hadn't presented itself as an issue. Uh poor percolation in the existing soils, the poorest foundations uh amongst other uh concerns is what um drew the prelim the majority of the moisture intrusion issues in the lower level. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. Um, other concerns that have been uh voiced to me, and some of these I have concerns myself, is that the the building has a certain historic character that everyone's grown accustomed to, and Bel has very few uh significant building landmarks.
I'll answer any questions. >> I think it's crazy that that we're doing something like this because just how far things have come. I mean, but again, what do we have to have? >> It strikes a good middle ground because you can't predict what's coming next. So, it addresses a lot of the the most important topics without getting super nitpicky because the minute you get nitpicky about something, then it's replaced by >> gone. >> Yeah. >> This is no action. This is first reading only, but we can >> comments if we want tonight. >> Not go ahead. >> See, I I don't know if I'm really for AI teaching have a choice. >> Yeah, I know. But I'm just saying that I'm just giving my personal >> Yeah. No, I can't >> because that personal >> um touch with the kids, teaching them even one on one if you have to, it gets further than um [laughter] the computer.
Did you hear me, Josh? >> Okay. I just had a question. Um, so as far as applications, we look at attendance, we look at grades. Is there anything else that's included in that that I this is just out of curiosity. I just want to know if there was other stuff we looked at. >> Sure. I mean, so by Indiana code, we really can look at attendance. And when they say attendance, the state says that that um 10 days of unexcused. >> So that's not 10 days of excused, it's 10 days of unexcused. And the other piece that we can look at is discipline. And again, it's significant. you're talking about 10 days of a suspension or an expulsion that would pre prevent you or um a student causing physical harm to a student or staff member. So grades were not able to look at um we can't see a child has bad grades and then say they cannot come based on their grades.
