Um one thing they did say, however, is we all know who we are today. So if we were doing an actual academic night, so if we were bringing stu um parents in to learn about standards, to learn how to use powers school to track their students um progress or you know things that are tied to academics, we can provide food title one which is nice u as long as it's reasonable. or high cost, but we are now allowed to put some food into our kind of one budget, which is something we weren't really allowed to do in most of our grants before. So, that was that was nice to Would that come out of that 1%? Yeah, I mean, we can we can allocate more than that, but we have to allocate at a minimum 1%, but yes, it could come out of that money.

Margaret, >> um I think Rachel, I'd like you to wait if you have a question that would clarify something for people. >> Sure. Yes, that's that's what I meant. Um Shannon, could you clarify these things? What is chapter 70 funding in as simple as you can? you maybe you can do it simpler than me. Um, and who is John Tricky? >> Yes. So, the easier question is who is John Tricky? Um, he is on the finance committee at the town of Palum. I don't believe he's the chair. It may he might be. >> He is. >> Oh, he is. Okay. I thought he was. Okay. So, yes, he's the chair of the finance committee for the town of Pelum. And chapter 70 in the most simplest terms is funding from the state to support the schools.
Um that is the end of my presentation. >> Can you just go back to that slide and so so when you say so what category is that? Sorry I just didn't understand the lower part. >> Uh this slide you mean? >> Yeah. So the hazard rate the hazard rating of two is the middle rating. Um I didn't want to include three uh because that's a lot of dead trees or trees that are in like the worst possible condition. These are not healthy trees. Um so this is the middle category of there is a moderate amount of potential risk with these trees failing. They have they have some kind of rot. They have some kind of defect. Um it's not extreme. Um but >> and they're 18 in are over >> and they're 18 and they're 18 in. >> Planting in what way? You're saying >> go because these are the trees that we're taking out.
And the loss links assessment is what measures the language acquisition for students who are identified as multilingual learners in our district. So what they look at is students who are took an assessment first year they're with us and then the second year how do they perform? Same with Smarter Balance. On the last links they give a target of where students should be hitting on their next um assessment in the next grade. So they're looking at what's the average of students um growth in those areas. So um in this case we remained pretty much the same across both literacy and their oral language acquisition. So when we look at those scores that includes grades one all the way up to grades 12. You just had to have a previous score in all of the academic um areas for the accountability index. is for students who must have been enrolled with us on October 1st and then who also took the assessment with us.
>> So, you just said there's no current ASDB contracts with TUSD. We do have a contract with them. We've had contract with them for years. They've just never um utilized their contract. >> Okay. I thought there was a contract, but I didn't know it wasn't being utilized. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, right now um they're doing it internally. >> They are doing the the itinerant services internally and will continue to do itinerate services internally. However, um they can refer any student with their agreement. They can refer any student of theirs to ASDB programs. Okay. I realize there's some a lot of moving pieces. >> Thank you. >> Sure. >> I think that concludes questions. Thank you so much, Jason. >> Sure. >> Thank you. >> Moving on, we are moving on to 1.3, which is the call to the public on agendaized items. The first person we have uh she did submit a public comment via the website but also asked to speak.
So with all of that and anything we do get from our surveys um that we that will go out to parents after spring break um this is kind this is what we do. So we'll review and analyze the input from um the principles and directors tonight and parents and tonight um as well as our surveys. Uh look at revising our current plan. So it's it's what we want to do for next school year and then it comes to you all for um approval. Then from that we also look at um the schools and the district's improvement plans and what how we can use that 1% um or more um to support the family engagement then that go this has to go out to all families. So sometimes we put it in synergy which we still can do. Uh send it out has to be on our website send it out via email dojo um all the ways we have to document that we've sent it out in multiple ways and in multiple languages.
>> Okay. Can I get a motion? I move that the governing board approve the 2026 2027 hiring schedules and contract terms for administrators, professional, non-eing, and exempt employees. I further move that the governing board approve contract forms as indicated in the attached exhibits. I further move that the governing board approve the offering of contracts for the 2026 2027 for administrators, professional, non-eing, and exempt employees. >> Can I get a second? Second.
Any discussion? All those in favor? 7 0. Um next, we'll go down to property. Yes. >> [clears throat] >> I'm asking the board permission to advertise a notice to bidders for the secured entrance project. This is the next phase of that we've been talking about for 6 months. So moved. I have a motion by Travis. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Kurt. Any All those in favor? 7 0. Next, we'll move down under new business. Um permission to post. Yes, I'm asking for permission to post the position for an HR admin assistant. This will be a full-time position. This is needed due to increased paperwork and regulations in that area. Um we had five classified positions marked for absorption this year. So this would be an internal only posting, which would mean that we would only need to absorb four classified positions cuz this would create a spot for someone in that position.
>> That was amazing. Good assist from Jordan, too. That was a perfect 50 mph shot. >> He's season 18 tournament winner if anyone's wondering what his tag said. >> Mhm. >> I think someone said like bathroom something on it. >> Yeah. >> And I'm pretty sure it's on the other team. I was a season two tournament winner for Rocket League and then I just stopped playing >> heavy on defense. Moving over to >> Hunter, who's lazy soul by the way. >> Yep. >> Who's also playing Fenick >> because >> very beginner friendly. Octane. >> Even though it's the first car you get, I would say that's definitely more for people who play this game more. >> Mhm. No, >> I'd recommend Fenic for new players cuz it's way easier. >> It's just so hard to get because you have to get the blueprint. >> Mhm.
That's the very simplest version. Thank you. All right. Now, um I know there was a hand up. I think it was Diana Epstein that I saw. So, that is correct. Um I'll allow her to talk. >> Okie do. Hello, Diana. >> Hi. Can you hear me? >> Yes. >> Great. Um, I have a couple questions. Do I just need to do one and then wait to see if anyone else has one? >> Uh, why don't you go ahead and ask? >> Okay. So, for I mean, sort of alluding to your comments in the beginning, Margaret, how is this meeting meant to be different from the committee budget hearing on the 26th of March? >> Um, it actually will be very similar. Um I the budget hearing is also not a regular school committee meeting. Um but what I will do for that meeting is post in such a way it will actually be two meetings.
So, um if uh we're if we're taking out tree these trees that are of a significant size, I think that that um and there's 10 of them, that's a good place to start. Uh >> you're saying only replacing those 10 >> uh at a minimum of the a minimum of the 10. Uh I'm very happy for that number being higher. Um, it just depends on what the town's needs are for trees, for new trees, >> right? I just want to make sure I understand. So, we're saying the level threes, those are all the ones that need to come down anyway because they're either dead or they're really close to dying. Super, you know, they're they need to come down anyway. So you're saying the remaining ones 10 is just kind of the arbitrary number you started with because it's based on the number that are in group two that they're over 18 in.
So for students who arrive, their per their scores still matter to us obviously, but they're just not included in the accountability index results. The next is chronic absenteeism. And so when we're looking at this again, this is the percentage of points that we earned when it was related to the amount of points that they would assign on this part of the report card for chronic absenteeism. So when we look at this and we're talking about chronic absenteeism, as a reminder, it's anyone who is absent 10% or more of their enrolled days within the school year. So, um, for the state, if we look at this, we were we've really done a tremendous job increasing, um, this past year seven percentage points and over for both all our students and our high need students. I just want to explain that's not our chronic absenteeism rate. Um, and that's what these charts were to help illustrate.
It's Katherine Sinko Thank you. And how much time are we allowing for these? Is it 3 minutes, 5 minutes, four minutes for ASL? >> I appreciate that. Thank you. >> Good evening, ASDB community. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for allowing me to come and speak at the last board meeting in Phoenix. It was a very difficult night for many of us, especially those of us who traveled from Tucson and then had to make a long journey home after many of our community left that meeting feeling defeated by the decision and direction that was made. And also I recognize that the choices brought to the board were not easy ones. I found myself reflecting on Brandon Decker's public comment and I feel that he said it best. We have to work together. Since that meeting, many in the community have been having conversations about what we can do to support ASDB during this time of uncertainty.
So I will be we know we can do Spanish easily. There's some other languages that might be a little more of a challenge that we have in our district but we'll figure that out and then we go ahead and implement it. So that's the plan.

The school facilities division is currently seeking approval for a formal reduction in square footage for the removal of three buildings as well as an increase in square footage for the construction of the new building on the Ironwood Elementary campus. The square footage of buildings U number 107, 1008, and 15 is recorded at 1,876 square ft each, resulting in a total reduction of 5,628 square ft. The building served elementary school grades and the conclusion of their service life necessitated the removal of the structures to facilitate the construction of a new building on site within the footprint of the demolished buildings.
