>> Yeah. We had just talked about Yeah. Just >> one section of building 72 panels. >> Yeah. Um I don't know something like >> basically running and 10 or something sidewalls. I forget exactly what it was. >> When you say 150,000 for scaffolding, I'm like, "All right, what else do we need to get done in there?" >> So >> the other idea was just have a wheelbarrow with a ladder in it. Somebody was just gonna walk. >> Sure. >> Safety first. >> Yeah. >> Come work on the farm after that. >> Yeah. >> It's usually in a load. >> Is it a bucket with a ladder on it? >> Josh is like, "You're doing that wrong." >> So, I know the ceiling above the actual playing court was an issue when it was there with volleyball and some of the ball sports. >> What about above the bleachers?
whatever contacts, whatever pictures, anything that they don't want you to see, they'll put it in there and it looks like a calculator app. I hope that that makes you a little bit uneasy because until we get things like this fixed to where we can't hide this stuff from parents and those that need to know. We're going to have tragedies such as in the community I live now live in with Haley Busby um Hamilton Southeastern. Please, please talk with your kids about the dangers of online. I'm begging you for their safety and the safety of others. This is just the tip of the iceberg. We're talking about something Roblox. Roblox lures in students all the time. And I can guarantee that most of your younger kids probably have Roblox or something like that on an iPad or or their phone. So, it's kind of my challenge to you guys is to please question your students, not an interrogative way, but as a conversation, I want to try to help keep you safe.
And it looks like they're picking Izzy for the next uh for the next challenge. >> Yep. To start off the team. >> When you mean exit out, they changed their mind. >> Yeah, they changed their mind on the character they picked. >> Oh, >> either that or the stage they picked. If it was the stage, then uh then we'll probably see Izzy go out of the ring as well. >> Yep. Mhm. So, we're So, I guess we're just gonna be uh just gonna be waiting for that. I guess >> if you had to choose one stage, what would it be? >> Pokemon Stadium 2. I'm a big fan of it. I'm a big fan of how it looks. >> I like the color green. >> Mhm. >> Green's a good color. >> Uh yeah. Yeah, green is a really good color. It reminds me of trees, >> and I'm a big fan of trees as well.
Second one, Premier Lawns and Landscape donated $1,700 to be used for the purchase of Crossing the Ditch shirts and incoming fourth graders. Third one, MicroDome Computers donated $665 to be used for the purchase of Crossing the Ditch shirts and incoming fourth graders. Fourth one, Gardener Insurance donated $670 to be used for the purchase of Crossing the Ditch shirts and incoming fourth graders. Fifth one, Greg Sanders. Colon Insurance donated $100 to be used for the purchase of Crossing the Ditch shirts and incoming fourth graders. Sixth one, Trenton Rickettts. Rickettts Insurance Agency donated $200 to be used for the purchase of Crossing the Ditch shirts and incoming fourth graders. Madison Consolid Consolidated High School, they have several. First one, uh, Kasman McDonald's donated $2,000 to the band for playing a Marie Howard celebration. The donations will be used to purchase new band equipment. Second one, Community Foundation in Madison and Jefferson County donated $500 to be used for prom expenses.
Um, >> and but it was unable to pick up those ultra short fast burst from the smart meters that we had in Pennsylvania. Okay. >> And I had a a friend with a car that made her very very sick and the acousta meter didn't pick it up, but that safe and sound meter did. They're very very short fast. It's like a bullet going right through. It's very real. But if you don't have the equipment sensitive enough to pick up those those bursts, those >> Dr. Mcnite, I love that you said that because it's been almost a decade since we put the acoustter on loan and I've been wondering if we should ask for funding to get a safe and sound pro too. And now >> frequencies it cannot detect. >> Okay, great. >> The speed at which they are emitted, I should say. They're just too fast for that.
Um, so the compost when it's ready it's going to be turned over to the DPW and will be taken to the compost site. So, um, compost is going to accumulate throughout the week as the children eat their breakfasts and lunches and stuff. Um, and it's going to be deposited on one day or two days a week depending on how much waste there is into the compost tumbler. And the Environmental Action Club will have a sign-up sheet and whoever deposits the compost will be eligible for 30 minutes of community service. So, as I stated, the main hope of this project is to reduce waste, but it's also meant to be a trial to see maybe if some kind of program could be possible to implement in the other schools in Ashland. And I think is that the last slide? It looks like Okay, yeah.
Um, and so this has been very exciting uh and very challenging uh but also um uh very uh spirit building for our our community of of elementary teachers. And I'll speak to my building that people are really um invested in this um and that I I'm fortunate to have joined in the second year. I understand the first year as you might you know uh understand in uh you know that sort of storming norming forming kind of uh process um is challenging to take on a brand new uh set of expectations um and uh um and learning new curriculum. But this has uh been a wonderful experience for us and and the the circling back to my school council they wanted to know well this is your goal uh to uh through certain objectives meet these benchmarks of uh you know say 70 or 80% success of students reading on grade level.
But, this is, uh, been a wonderful experience for us and and the the circling back to my school council, they wanted to know, well, this is your goal, uh, to, uh, through certain objectives, meet these benchmarks of, uh, you know, say 70 or 80% success of students reading on grade level. They said, how practical is that? How how plausible? And we looked at the data from the last year and we were able to look at the mid-year your benchmarking data that we have and we decided that 80% of students reading on or above grade level, uh, was plausible. So, we put that, um, in our draft and we'll get to the to the final, uh, you know, version at some point real soon. Um, and I think it will stay at that. So, we're supporting reading in lots of other ways and and speaking to that is, um, our next goal, which is technology, um, because it's such a big part of our world.
As the weather gets nicer, we hope more families will visit the park so children can learn and have fun at the same time. In addition, we will be fundraising and hosting free community events at the park to raise awareness and encourage families to attend. Thank you so much for your time, your support, and for helping us make Danbury a safer place for kids. We truly appreciate this opportunity. Thank you. Thank you, ladies. >> [applause] >> Um there are free resources and Impacting Drivers, which is a non-profit organization, is willing to send free books to any of the schools that is interested. The girls have done fundraising. Last year they donated over 50 bikes when the pie the bike the ceremony that was cut the ribbon cutting was done and they have free helmets that they're willing to give to all the schools as well. So you know with your help when we pass out the flyers when the weather gets nice they're willing to do another event at the park.
you don't remember phone numbers anymore. So, you have to ask the the clerk, "Excuse me, can you give me my mom's phone number?" Or, "Excuse me, can I have somebody's number?" Or we'll have a student come to the office say, "Hey, I don't know my mom's phone number. Can I dial from my cell phone in front in the office?" Nine times out of 10, we allow that to happen. Um, let me see. I need to contact my students. Guardian can call the office and give a message that will communicate to students in a timely manner. If necessary, students can be brought to the office to call a guardian back. So, another case in point, we do have parents that do call the office and we do have office that we can have a student get picked up from their um classroom, brought to the office and call.
It means that um classwork that would be due during this time that we would be gone does not have to be pushed back and teachers can push it up or change deadlines however they feel fit, whether that be changing it at all or not. Um it means that our absences will not be excused unless our parents talk to the administration to be able to take care of it. It means that all of the organization with all of the travel, all of the registration, and finding people like supervisors and chaperones falls upon the students and not upon the school. And it means that funding and parent support are also in question for a number of our members. And it is looking like many of them will not be able to go because um our our school said no to this. Um we heard that this meeting was happening and took the initiative to show up and check the agenda and filed to be able to talk before you guys today.
We can't I'll let Tyler answer that because he there's a reason why he he gave us those numbers and I'll let him answer that. Tyler, can you answer that? >> Yeah. The the question was why can't we give a little more? >> Right. >> They hear that right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean uh we want to be careful because this is this is still contingent on sales tax. So um going really heavy one year spiking a a compensation and then all of a sudden have to turn around and take it away. That that's tough on an employee uh who may be you know if you go up a year they may become relying on that that new money and then the next year have to take that away. Um, so gradually increasing over time is probably best for u your employees. Um, and then to be able to consistently give raises over time rather than spiking it or having fluctuations over a course of time.
if we actually put a ceiling back on above the bleachers and that was a material that absorbed noise. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, there was there was a couple different options. I mean, the one was attached straight to the deck, which I wasn't real crazy about, just screwed straight into a deck every time, you know, just >> well, actually on the bottom of the beam just above, >> right, >> the bleachers. >> That was the other option was doing it there or just doing it under on the top side of the rafters. So you're you got to remember the old ceiling was about two foot below. So even if you on there, you're still two foot higher than you were. You know what I mean? And so um I had showed Amy a picture at a previous district I worked at just they had a it wasn't a consistent ceiling.
The media is not doing it. The app developers certainly aren't. Please have those discussions early and often. This is something we're seeing across the state and nationally. Students are being groomed. Students are being abducted and they're made to do things that they don't want to do. If I say 764, does anybody in this room have any idea what I'm talking about? I got one person. started as kind of like a gang in the Texas area. What they would do is they would coersse students, young people into sending compromising pictures, not necessarily nude pictures or anything like that. Compromising pictures. They would not extort them for money like people think that they always would do. Instead, they're telling them, "If you don't carve this into your skin, I will release all these photos, all this information about you and your family, and you'll be ruined." Now, we'll ramp it up a little bit more.
>> Yep. So, it seems like they're selecting their character or or selecting a stage. Not really sure. I'm not sure if they like counterp stage. >> So, while we're waiting, I do have a quick question for you, actually. >> Absolutely. >> What's your favorite Dorito flavor? >> Oh, it has to be the Cool Ranch. >> Yeah, Cool Ranch is definitely a good flavor. More of a fan of nacho cheese myself, but I can defin But I can definitely see uh I can definitely see cool ranch being a good choice. >> I think it depends on the day. Mhm. It looks like they're sending out the Ness first, but luckily Izzy has experience with fighting Ness because she's fought me before. >> There we go. Good practice. >> Yep. Ness is uh the character I play the most. So, >> we're going to see how this looks.
Third one, Royer Corporation and Williams family donated $15,000 to the football team to be used for equipment purchases. Number four, the following donated to the biology department to be used for financial assistance for the student field trip to the Newport Aquarium. Megan Sprung donated $9. Sarah Webster donated $11. K. Barton donated $22. Thomas Ferry donated $22. Kennedy Rowlet donated $11. Brooklyn Whitaker donated $100. Michaela Galloway donated $14. Ariana Pendalis, sorry, Pantalus donated $11. 26-108 approval field trip request. We have an out ofstate field trip request from junior high math teacher Sarah Hail to take 150 eighth graders to Kings Island, Mason, Ohio on May 14th, 2026. Second one, we have a request from MCHS varsity cheer coach Jacqueline Schnebelt to take 16 cheerleaders to Great Wolf Lodge, Mason, Ohio on June 14th through the 17th, 2026 to attend a UCS cheer camp. Dr. Brown, >> I recommend the board approve with one motion and one vote the consent agenda items 26-101 through and including 26-108 as presented.
And when we talk about frequencies, so we know through a scientist named Schuman who developed Schuman's resonance. We know from his research that the earth pulses these beautiful, healthy, healing electrons 7.83 times per second or 7.383 hertz. That's the unit of measurement is what we're all meant to be synchronized to. When we got into digital technology, we're now pulsating these man-made frequencies. In the megahertz range, which means 1 million times per second, we're getting jackhammered with microwaves. And in the gigahertz range, it's 1 billion cycles per second. So, it would be understandable that some of the older equipment wasn't picking up those faster bursts that are coming at us. >> Yes. >> Oh. So, I have another question for you. Um the electric meters have been implicated as being very heavy um exposure units. What about the gas meters and the water meters that are now being switched over to smart meter systems?
Um, so are there any questions? Well, first, awesome. That's That's what I mean, such great stuff tonight. Thank you. Um, is it going to do you want to start right away or Um, I really do hope to start as soon as possible. Um, once we get all the materials that we have the high school actually already has some composting tumblers in its courtyard that we could just transfer over and use. So, And like about how many people are going to be helping you out? Like do you have enough people to participate? Oh, yes. Yes, the Environmental Action Club 20 20 20 20 members in the Environmental Action Club. Um, and they're all really excited about it. Um, so and we do have some kind of like contingency plans so that if nobody signs up or if someone's not available, then um, Samantha Riley, who's the the sustainability committee um, at town hall, um, I'm sure you know.
They said how practical is that? How how plausible? and we looked at the data from the last year and we were able to look at the mid-year benchmarking data that we have and we decided that 80% of students reading on or above grade level uh was plausible. So we put that um in our draft and we'll get to to the final uh you know version at some point real soon. Um and I think it will stay at that. So, we're supporting reading in lots of other ways. And and speaking to that is um our next goal, which is technology. Um because it's such a big part of our world, we're trying to use it in ways that are thoughtful and strategic. Um and students have access to independent um uh reading uh instruction through a program called Lexia. Um and the teacher has access to a number of uh different curricula that are presented online and can benefit from some of the sparkle and some of the engagement that you get from students.
We're trying to use it in ways that are thoughtful and strategic, um, and students have access to independent, um, uh, reading, uh, instruction through a program called Lexia. Um, and the teacher has access to a number of, uh, different curricula that are presented online and can benefit from some of the sparkle and some of the engagement that you get from students, um, but, um, the use of technology, um, is the second goal that we have. And just to continue, uh, with that, we're also having teachers able to use, um, AI through two different, uh, platforms and they're finding, uh, that it's very successful for them to create and fill gaps and and again target instruction, uh, just by saying, this is this is the vowel team that we're working on. So, uh, that's been very exciting for them as well. Our third goal is about absenteeism and it was discussed also in some detail earlier, um, uh, and, uh, again, I'm pretty fortunate, I think, we are at Four Corners to have, um, pretty high rate of uh, attendance, but always looking to improve and just enforce or reinforce and emphasize the importance of coming to school every day.
