And that that was the big concern. So just a reminder with that. I would be curious. I know from your guys' original report, um, exterior wise, are we worried about any water infiltration from some of the corners that we should consider on this? Hey, we're getting everything done inside, but we've got some warped corners where we have water infiltration. We do all this inside, but we've still got water coming in. Is there was there anything drastic on that that we should consider if we're trying to get this thing watertight, taken care of, not have to come back again in a few years because we've got water coming in. >> Yeah. You're you're never going to get it completely watertight because there's no uh moisture barrier in that wall cavity like we would build today. >> Yeah. It's brick on block, right? >> Just brick on block.

I would ask all of you to please um work with your schools, work with local law enforcement. Uh the one area that I work in outside of public schools, I'm very much in a niche expertise, but it's with police. Um, my father is actually a two-term retired sheriff. He was career law enforcement and I work with about 25 of the county sheriffs around the state of Indiana and do some specialtity work with IMPD out of Indianapolis as well. So, I get the opportunity to see things from the law enforcement perspective as well as from the school perspective. And to say over the course of the last 27 years that my client bases have merged would be an understatement. Um, you know, you all didn't used to be in our school buildings all the time, you know, years ago. And now, uh, we have memorandums of understanding.

Um we have a student council um that that is sponsored by me but is supported by all the Riker staff um in our building. Every classroom has a student representative that um we meet weekly and we um come together with different student projects that are um led by their student voice, things that they want to see happen in their school. Um this year what we have done is well we've continued our school store. Um everything's a dollar or less so that way it can be affordable for all students to purchase and everything is studentled. um purchasing, inventory, cash bundle, um handling um really helps with more opportun entrepreneurship, sorry. Um and just giving their involvement in that. Um we also take all the profits from that to reinvest into more student led projects that they've identified they want to do. Um some other projects that we've done um are we've gotten to the community done some projects with um the Salvation Army bell ringing and we were able to um incorporate all of our school and do a food drive and from that be able to support 20 families um in need from our own school during Thanksgiving.

And there's a woman who serves on there by the name of Claudia Bennett. And Claudia is wonderful. She has worked through our schools uh as a school committee member. She worked on the local education foundation for years in its early years. and she became an administrator in one of our schools and I told her that we were going to do a free public education webinar and we would be featuring Ken Gartner who's a building biologist to talk about these utility smart meters and I was sharing a little bit of the science to say why it's important that we have a no fee opt out. Well, I didn't get that far. She came up with it on her own and she goes, "Well, why don't people just opt out?" And I said, "Because we have not been granted that right to opt out without being penalized a fee." So up until now, the company that services our town in Ashlin, Massachusetts is called Eversource.

She's like, "Because she she just learned that in our last unit in the science class." So, talk about application, making connections. That's what we want kids to do. So, very exciting. Um next slide, please. So, one of the things that we've doing in South Street again because of time I can't mention everything. We are we want our parents to be in our school. We want our parents and engage and every year we make a goal of me making sure that we have 100% not teacher participation. I'm sorry. That's my mistake. Parent teacher participation. Yes, that's correct. Um so, this year we did it again. For the past several years, all of our parents come for our parent teacher conferences. Some do it by phone, some do it do through a Google. The majority of them come in person. And that is a big accomplishment that we work really hard to make happen.

We only brought in um one actual vendor um who presented for our smartboards and then we had raft. Other than that, of the 25 sessions, 22 of them were presented by Beressa's staff with 26 staff members um presenting in total. Some of them did buddy up. Um so that's great. The fact that we're learning from our own peers, our own staff, and them being able to showcase their um talents and their skill sets is amazing. So this is not all of the morning sessions, but of the all morning session. You all heard how exciting and and popular that hike was. So, we increased it to two different hikes. Um, they were uh differentiated for beginners and then uh one for a little bit more moderate of a hike for those who uh either hike regularly or attended the first one in September. Um, so we have two pictures there.

Hi everybody. Hello CSEA school board and district employees. I'm Kelly Serls, CSEA Chapter 110 President. We are so grateful for the great partnership Chico Unified and CSEA Chico 110 have. There are CSEA chapters all over the state who do not have that type of relationship and that is what makes our relationship unique and special. Thank you guys. This last year uh we partnered with CSEA CUSD to participate in the state's CSAP, Classified School Employee Summer Assistant Program. This was a great opportunity for classified employees and we are proud to present that we have 244 employees participate in the program this year. We want to give a huge shout out to Wilmarie Hartman and the payroll team. While this program added more to our payroll team, they took this project on and we appreciate all the hard work they put in to making this program successful.

Thank you for helping us go on trips like Eller to represent our school and our values. Mr. President, >> good evening members of the board. My name is Kylie Mendes and I'm a senior at Alo High School. I'm honored to share our experience participating in the Elder Ethics Forum at the University of Arizona this year. This year, AO High School had the largest group attending the forums of 12 students participating. What made it even more meaningful was that our entire group of made up of young women representing our school and our community. At the forum, we explored what ethical decision- making looks like in real life. We worked with three different scenarios and discuss how we would respond to them from an ethical perspective. These discussions change us challenge us to think critically about honesty, responsibility, and the impact our choices can have on others.

The brick's porest, the mortar's porest, the blocks forest. So, you're never going to stop it completely. But doing maintenance items like tuck pointing, sealant replacement >> improves that >> and that can be a separate project, >> correct? >> That at some point, just a reminder to everybody, hey, we're going to get the inside taken care of, but there's still some exterior stuff >> that can can definitely help prolong what we're doing there. >> And we we did walk the exterior from the roof level, but our main focus was on the inside of this. Any other questions? Or I guess otherwise I'm gonna let Max dig into the I guess again appreciate their efforts and just doing that for us. Um if you'll walk through that kind of budget max and kind of what you saw from a scope sequencing of that project >> not issue or not really issue but um sequence you have to go through in order to start is obviously protecting it finishes and accessing that area and the only way I could think to do it at the time is basically scaffolding the entire gym.

I know here in the county, I think we've got some county officials here. Um, I know I have worked with your county attorney here to be able to do memorandums of understanding to be able to get help from uh from law enforcement for our schools. and all the feedback I get is is really positive about the work that our SRO's do here in Clinton County. So, you know, all the police, I appreciate you. I know the schools appreciate you and uh keep up all the good work because I don't get calls from Clinton County very often about school safety issues. So, kudos to you for working with your schools.

Mhm. >> Oh, grabbed him. Grabbed him. >> Yeah, >> that was impressive. >> That was Yep. He c like Nest caught Deacon's co-main on fire, but the main just jumped over it and hit him anyways before he was able to punish. Oh, thrown out plenty of aerials, I tell you. >> He's on his game tonight. >> Oh, yes, he is. >> Yeah, both of these players are actually on the game. Does a forward smash and Deacon answers with his own forward smash, but that uh the hammers aren't big enough. >> Oh, trying to go for a spike does not work, but he air dodges to the ledge. does a dash attack and an up air. Oh boy. Oh, does another air dodge because Nessa's air dodge does cover quite a bit of distance. And for those of you who don't know, uh an air dodge is basically when you press the shield button in the air.

So we were really um thankful that we were able to collaborate for that and support our own um students for that too. And also talking more about attendance. Um this is something um that we're working really hard with um at our school. Um we have um a focus on our chronic absenteeism reduction. Um I'm currently in an internship program through the masters of um school counseling through IUS and that's what I identified as my close the gap project. Um so we're working really hard on identifying those students that are chronic absenteeism or at risk. Um we meet weekly. We have an internal attendance team that we meet weekly um comprised of our principal, our SRO, myself, the nurse, our clerical um so that way we can have a deep dive to be able to look at that whole child, some different barriers that might be impacting their attendance.

The other big one in Massachusetts is National Grid, and they have offered an opt out through National Grid for a number of years, but you have to pay for it. So, you literally have to pay to get your public utility in addition to what you're already paying for that utility. >> And so, I was grateful that Claudia Bennett asked that really good question because we should all have the right to opt out. And it just breaks my heart that in Pennsylvania, your PUC or public utility commission has not seen fit to protect the public. Most of the time we see that these companies roll into town and they tell our towns, "Hey, you can save money by using these smart meters instead of the trusted analog meters that would actually last 40 or 50 years without needing to be replaced. We can save you the cost of a walker going through your town to get those readings if you sign up for these digital utility meters." And it sounded like a great idea for our towns because who doesn't appreciate a cost save, but they were never forthcoming with the facts on the biological effects that you have described unfortunately so beautifully here today.

Welcome, welcome. I see some stuff on my table. >> Yes. All right, I'm going to just do a quick intro. Um, this is the first one, yes, thank you. Um, as you know, we spent a lot of time talking about the schedule change and addition of classes. And so, for the seventh grade, um the core class that was added for them was engineering. Um, and the two teachers that are teaching that class um were formerly a math and a science teacher on the half team, uh Miss D'Ignazio and Miss Gentile, and I cannot thank them enough for one, just their willingness to dive in to a whole new curriculum and and build it as they're flying the plane this year. Uh the goal of the class is to really be project-based and applicable knowledge, applying the what this the knowledge the kids are learning to their um to their class.

So I just echo so much of what I heard Rose say is throughout the district and so it's just a good place to be. I'm going to start talking about our uh first goal. Emphasis is on attendance. Attendance was abysmal going into this uh last year and so coming out we ended up at a 88% attendance. Um so this year tracking the same time where last year we're at 92%. Um our chronic absenteeism was our biggest issue and that was at 40% last year. Um we've there's a lot of different things we've done with our attendance team that meets weekly to work on that. So currently we're down to 27%. So huge drop and just a lot of that work that's you know that continual weekly meeting with parents, meeting with kids and just staying on them. A long ways to go but just uh we're really impressed with the work that's going on.
