I appreciate you guys' work and just helping us serve our kids and through these different projects. So, thank you very much. Won't keep it, but appreciate it. Thank you guys. Thanks for coming. >> Appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> Have a good day. >> Yeah. You see you guys. >> Go enjoy the Yeah, >> they're probably kind of happy they were in here. >> Yeah. Yeah, they were like, "No, we can wait and see if it's drizzling out yet." >> See you guys. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> All right. Um, next item item B would be it's a proposed agreement of affiliation with IvyTech. So, this is um something that Mrs. Golden and Mrs. Akre brought to me.
That's way better than this. All the things that can be out, all the additives that can be put into them, the street slang for for some of these chemicals and things that they're putting in their bodies. It's horrible. Please follow Germaine. If you remember nothing else, tall cop says stop. He's great. Yes. >> Yep. Germaine Galloway. Tall cop says stop. He will open your eyes to things that you've never seen before. What can you do guys? You're doing Thank you for being here. This is the first step is actually showing up being a part of your students journey. Recognizing that there are problems out there and that until we as a community pull together, we're not going to stop anything or we're not going to even slow things down. So, thank you for taking time out tonight to be here. This is step one. Now, let's continue the message on.
She shot a shield. >> Oh, the sad thing about that move is that it leaves you unable to jump back onto the stage. >> Yeah. Covers a lot of distance, but doesn't do much in terms of uh in terms of recovery. Okay. Trying to keep the pressure on because uh Nest does currently have one more stock than she does. >> Oh, there you go. Okay. Doesn't that be >> That was good. >> Pretty even game in terms of percent, but both of these characters can rack up the percent really quickly. >> Can you remind me what the percents are again? >> Sure. So, so the percentages is basically how much damage they have dealt to them. The higher the the damage, the higher the knock back of the attack. >> Makes sense. >> Mhm. Oh, and like I mentioned earlier, a faulty air dodge a wrong angle and um unfortunately left him vulnerable.
>> Any discussion? >> Okay. Vote. John >> I. >> Jody. >> I. >> Dustin. >> I. >> Myself. I'm an I. 26-11. Approval of Camp Invention summer program. Dr. Brown. >> Yes. I'm recommending the board approve the camp invention summer program. Camp Invention is a nationally acclaimed STEM summer camp providing in-person and atome learning opportunities that turn curious students into innovative thinkers by providing open-ended experiences that help them build the confidence, persistence, and problem solving skills to make their own creative mark on the world. We're looking at June 15th through the 19th, 2026 from 8:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Anderson Elementary. For the staffing, we're recommending we hire one director for a total of 92.5 hours for pre-amp hours. Um, and then including the camp week as well. Assistant director uh would be for up to 56 hours. And again, that would be some pre-amp and then during the camp week hours.
And my heart bleeds for those people. >> It is not appropriate. >> It's not. And you know, up in Canada, >> we have learned of people who have chosen the right to die because they are living in so much pain from this radio frequency radiation. And we never want anybody to have to face a decision like that. >> So please everybody go out to Massachusetts for safe technology, click on the join us button and if you add yourself to my list, I will be sending out an action item so that we can reach out to our legislators and say please, it's been 10 years in the Massachusetts legislature. get these bills passed and protect every one of our citizens who want to opt out. But more importantly, that's a baby step. That's a first step. We should not allow these industries to roll out technologies that have been proven harmful time and again in the scientific literature.
And uh couple other questions around the location you're choosing relative to neighbors, particularly you know, we have more neighbors obviously at Pittaway than we do at a lot of the other schools, but uh typically these do give off a little bit of a Yeah. little aroma. So, have has you given any thought to that location relative to that and what your response would be if if there was any uh any kind of questions about that? Um so, I actually have the same kind of compost tumbler at my house right in my backyard when you walk out of the back door. Um and there's I have not experienced any issue with odor in the past. Um but if there were to be an issue with odor, I don't believe that there would cuz it's kind of separated from other houses given that it's behind a fence, I mean it's kind of secluded, and the students and teachers don't really go over there.
I don't know if you guys grew up with that um of uh throwing out one or two fingers. Um um but now we do um rock paper scissors and it's a a lot more um uh efficient usually and if kids understand that then then then a you know so much of the of the conflict can be settled very quickly. Um and so that's become more part of our school and we've also utilized through that program and we're implementing the junior coaches aspect um which is using our fourth graders um as u mentors to the youngest students out at recess. Um, and we have, um, uh, I would say almost three-4s of our fourth graders volunteering to go out and, uh, be trained and, uh, help out with, uh, recess and teaching and leading these games that students have learned either in gym or through the recess program.
So with that I'll wrap up and say thank you again for having us. It's been a great night. Great. Thank you all so much. Members, comments, questions? I see member Goodwyn. All right. And then member >> guys been? Thank you for coming. I joined school committee, I don't remember what month it was, but to find out I had to do a record request to find out how many first grade teachers were in the district and I paid $100 for a records request to find how many So you being here is really helpful because we're here where you're striving to go. And that is important as we look at every single dime and how it's being used. And um I just want to thank you for being here. And I know what it means that you have to get up tomorrow and be there for the buses.
So, our advocacy was around instead of using the money until it's gone on credits um like a credit card and afterwards a debit card that just expires, um we're we're proposing that they build an infrastructure with the money to create capacity for for school systems to work together with with higher ed. Um seemed to have gained some traction. We had a meeting with with higher ed prior to that bill being introduced or um and they seemed to take to the to the idea. And so, we quickly jumped on it um since um we were behind it to begin with. Um Mike, I don't know if you want to add anything else along those lines. Mike works with our um our lobbyists um that are shared with the city. And I don't know if you have anything that you wanted to add from some of the bills that we submitted.
So we have explained to them what the phone free school act is about and then of course they get tired of hearing from us. So we wanted to get leadership involved and so the ASB students helped us uh lead lead a campaign on the impact of cell phones. So the ASP leadership class did research on what the impact of cell phones are and then they were able to present it out to their peers to let them know what kind of impact cell phones have. Um our plan is the last six weeks of school is to uh implement the cell phone policy. We also wanted to make sure that the messaging went out to our community and so we also educate our community on what the phone free school act was about. We communicated through parent square. We talked at PTSA meetings. We talked at as everyone else has said anytime that we could get parents in the room.
That tends to promote continued literacy. And a lot of kids in our area are going to spend all summer long sitting in an air-conditioned apartment looking at a screen. And we've been very concerned about that. So, through the Boys and Girls Club and through other organizations, we have volunteered and put forth money to sponsor summer reading programs. Now, here's the problem. The kids that step forward on a voluntary basis to participate in the summer reading program are the kids that probably least need it. We're delighted to help them in every way that we can and and including the tutoring and providing reading materials and so forth. But, the kids that really need to be mandated to participate in a summer reading catch-up program. And I'm particularly concerned about second-and-third graders who are more than a year behind grade level. Those kids are really at risk.
>> Any questions or discussion? >> Say I. >> I. >> Motion carries five to zero. >> Next item up is personnel. The issue of the 26 27. >> Mr. President, members of the board statutes 15-536 and 15-538.01 01 now state probationary and continuing teacher contracts for the ensuing school year shall be offered on or after March 5th of each year. 2026 2027 certified teacher contracts are being recommended to be issued to the following teachers. You have them listed below upon return from spring break. We should be able to provide their contracts. Just some other information. Uh the new increase from this classroom site on base pay has been added uh for the finance consultant and administration. We reviewed this uh together yesterday and also uh for your information as well the legal department has reviewed the language in the contract as well. So it it all looks good and um recommend the issuance of 2627 certified contracts to the above teacher sir.
um they both teach um a basic um education I don't know 101 class or something like that with IvyTech. Um and so actually they're um I think it's department chair and don't quote me on that the title and Bryce maybe you know but um basically asked if they if we would be willing to do this. It's basically for people that are going into education to do practicum hours, um, school visits for like internship hours, things like that, prospective teachers. Um, which is obviously a a a positive thing for us to use as one a recruitment, you know, possible thing, you know, like, hey, you're thinking about being a teacher and hey, you were in our building and you were maybe, you know, doing some practical hours and you were great, you know, so maybe we, you know, it's a piece that we we kind of already got them in our doors a little bit.
If you want our website, we have the Indiana Office School Safety website. The best thing I can tell you do is Google Indiana Office School Safety. It will take you directly to our website. We have all kinds of resources on there. What we have coming down the pipeline is so like the digital stuff that we're talking about. We are getting ready to launch a video series for parents, students to where it's age appropriate, administrators, everything across the board. That can be found on our website. We'll be releasing that here in probably the next month or so. trainings, things that we have put on for law enforcement, school personnel are also on our website. Um, you will also have my contact information. Please reach out to me with anything that you need. I am here to serve you. Sometimes at the state, we get it backwards to where citizens and and schools serve us.
I hate it when that happens, especially online. >> So, it looks like Izzy has one, but she did lose two stocks in the process. >> Okay. >> Yep. Kind of a shame there. >> All right. We're going to see who uh who the opposing team picks. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Who >> if it was your choice, who would you pick? >> Who would I pick to deal with Pyro Mythra? >> Mhm. >> Uh I would probably choose I'd probably choose Steve cuz Steve is a really good character. >> Steve is a really good character in terms of keeping Pyro Mithra away and he can uh catch that big flurry move. Oh, >> he can catch that with his mine cart. Like, put him in there. Yep. >> Okay. >> Makes it really easy to deal with. >> Awesome. Well, while we wait, do you mind if I shout out another sponsor?
We're also recommending that we hire six teachers, five for camp invention and one for invention project. and also again including some hours pre-amp and then the hours during the camp and it totals 40 hours total. One assistant for the intervention the invention camp and that would be for 37.5 hours also including 10 to 12 high school student volunteers 120 students for camp invention and 15 students for the invention project. If we add an assistant to that we could also add 10 more students. So, asking for approval for the Camp Invention for the summer. >> Can I get a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the camp invention summer program. >> Can I get a second? >> I'll second.
We need to step up and come to the table with these industries and work together to hardwire these meters to the home. Chattanooga, Tennessee has already done so. And then all of your data can just go through the wiring and not through these man-made electromagnetic fields that are pulsating throughout the home. So, >> exactly. That was another answer that I I didn't get to about recommendations for others is is hardwiring all of the devices that they use in the house. So, the laptops, computers, the the phones, >> um tablets, etc. There's ca inter Ethernet adapters to plug these devices. >> Yeah, I've got one. When we talk about So, this is what the Ethernet cables are, right? This is how we always used to access our tech. You just plug it in the back of the to the back of your router and then you just buy a little dongle, a little adapter that plugs into the Ethernet cable, and then this part plugs into your device.
Um but if there were to be one, um I suppose we could think about maybe a location change, um or maybe sealing it off with another fence, but that would be a budget issue maybe. And and and you said you already have one of that similar. Have you had any uh animal issues at all? No, so the tumblers we use actually have like a sliding door that can close. Um and I've never had any issues with animals getting into my compost tumbler, and we I have a rampant rabbit infestation. So, they would get in there if they could. But, we can see, obviously. I mean, again, I do want this to sort of be just like a trial run for the first couple weeks, and then if there are any issues or anything that we need to fix, um I'd love to sort of take it in and rework it and bring it back.
So, with that, I'll wrap up and say thank you again for having us. It's been a great night. >> Great. Thank you all so much. Um, members, comments, questions? I see member Goodwin. All right. And then >> where have you guys been? Thank you for coming. I joined school committee. I don't remember what month it was, but to find out I had to do a record request to find out how many first grade teachers were in the district. And I paid $100 for a records request to find how many how. So you being here is really helpful because we're here where you're striving to go and that is important as we look at every single dime and how it's being used and um I just want to thank you for being here and I know what it means that you have to get up tomorrow and be there for the buses.
I know exactly what that means. Thank you. All right. I saw member Dateman and then I've got member Child. Um thank you. Thank you so much for being here. And uh thank you Principal Potter because I'm just so happy with what's going on at Four Corners with where my daughter is a second grader. Uh but my question is for uh Principal Finnamore. Um because there's such an important decision to be made regarding fifth grade. Um could you uh help us understand a little bit more about um what the team teaching is like? How many How many students are in a team teaching classroom, for example? Um and what in your mind would be um the consequences of moving fifth grades back to the middle or to the elementary schools at this point? Thank you for asking me. Um there's probably in each classroom um anywhere from It averages about 15 students.
