Uh, the stay safe, speak up. Uh, Mr. Barkley and I completed training on that. Um, and we'll be working with admin team to get that started. The Unite GPS, just kind of give you an update on that. That is an organization that sent us a just kind of a flyer back earlier this year saying that they they would complete free of charge an optimization of our bus routes and so I thought why not let's see what they could say and so we sent that over to them and so they're working through that of course there it is a sales pitch you know um but part of what they can do is is that if we would choose to go with like transportation software they could actually on an iPad if we had a substitute driver lay out the route for that person so so there's some positives with that but um we'll see they have me and really quite honestly they're fairly reasonable for what they offer and stuff.
>> So if the ball hits the other person's ball, even if he's holding it, they're not out. So that's as a defense mechanism. >> Oh, that was off a bounce. So he's still in there. So there's still uh they still got four in there. The key to this game is making sure no one actually throws throws their arm out. >> Yes. I mean, you're going to be playing multiple matches. Yep. You got You got to save that frame, >> but you don't want to save it too much. >> Exactly. >> Two out on Oh, they're down to one. >> Oh, that was elimination. All right, we have three on one right now. >> Oh, three on two. >> Oh, look at that. >> He's still in >> throw there. Oh, he's got it. >> He's got a gun. I wouldn't want him throwing those balls at me, I'll tell you that.
Um but since our contracts are coming up next year, this was an opportunity for us to kind of see what what can we get, you know, what what does it look like? So um superintendent study council um just kind of want to make you aware of this because this is kind of unusual. Eric Gogggins serves on the department of education uh round table with Dr. Jenner and unusual situation or unusual topic came up this past month and brought it to the study council. China and Russia has made very specific threats towards school corporations and really hacking the data and stuff. Um and it was it was Dr. Gogggins said it was a very unusual discussion. Um it wasn't just kind of like a passing conversation. There was a lot of talk about it. Um and it really um even afterwards after meeting several superintendents talked about um the oddity of it and how um much the department stressed this.
>> No fear over here. All right. >> Miss there. Good dodge. That throw a little high. Twoon one. >> OH, LOOK AT THAT. >> There's some strategy there. Both players coming at the same time. And >> it's part of the 5Ds. You might be ducking or diving or dodging, but you got to look out for that other one. >> That's what they call the multi-throw. >> The multi-throw, baby. I just invented that, too. >> I like it. It's We're We're It's trending right now. >> Are you a lefty or a righty, Tom? >> I'm a righty. >> You're a righty as well. Okay. >> I'm left footed, though. >> Are you really? >> I am. >> All right. That's interesting. >> All right. Who do we got here? This is the Mighty Ducks, I believe. >> That's interesting. >> Look at that. Goldberg. >> The goalie.
So um as always we are looking at this and making sure that we are secure. Um but is definitely something that they pointed out to us. We also received from the Department of Education a waiver for the January snowstorm because it was a state of emergency. We only Monday, we got two days and so we will be able to go back to the original calendar of having Good Friday and Easter Monday off barring any snow storms or ice storms between now and spring break. So just kind of want you to be aware of that. The other thing is Mrs. Cruz and I attended the exchange on Wednesday, February 18th. This was an event that was sponsored by ERC, the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership, and invited businesses, schools, and higher education to discuss the new diploma pathways. Um, the interesting thing was was as as we shared with the board, all of our students beginning with this year's freshman class have to complete a workbased learning experience.
>> I I believe they're using all Mighty Ducks names if I'm not mistaken. >> Goldberg. The goalie. So, it's Mighty Ducks and then uh we got a hero. >> That's a first. Did we see green yet? >> We did. I believe we did. Okay. I >> maybe that was the first say >> is it Ashlin? >> No, it wasn't Ashlin. Was that uh was that Ne? >> It might be Mend. >> Was it Mend? Okay. >> Well, I got to confirm here. We're going to try to get a glimpse of the front of the shirts. Actually, the back uh might have it, too. Looks like they all got the same name on the back. So, that's likely the name of the department. We got the We got the music going on over here. Movie the departed. >> Oh, big elimination from the Mighty Ducks. >> He's safe.
Um, they shared in that meeting that there were 144 students, was I right on that? 144,000 students. >> I don't know the exact number, but it was it seems that >> I think so. I think they said it was 144,000 students within the area that E-Repp covers that was going to need placements. And so that shows you how daunting of a task this will be for our kids to have that experience. But anyway, uh we appreciate that they were at least having the conversation and beginning to share with our businesses what what's facing us with this department. That is my report. Mr. I did have a question on your report really quick. You've been mentioned working with Ignite GPS to currently route the bus routes. Maybe Mr. Road can answer that. What is the current way that we route our bus routes on everything that we have?
>> Two out on the right side. It's It is Mend on the right side. >> It is Mend. Okay. Ooh, what a shot. >> Mend fire department. >> The down to one. >> Down to one. >> Trying to make quick work out of Mend. >> So to me, if I'm mending, I you just want to try and catch the ball. >> Oo, a miss there. Good dodging. Oh, >> look at this guy. >> Staying in there, standing strong. >> Oh, good catch. >> Oh, on the left. out and the Mighty Ducks take it. >> All right, so I'm going to go on a limb right now. If I'm going to put any fun money on this, the Mighty Ducks have to be the favorite. They're just >> Oh, yeah. >> They're solid. >> I mean, besides having the best uniforms and obviously one of the key folks running the marathon in um Johnny Cross, they just are a team that knows this dodgeball game very well.
Is this like old school log where it's just all addresses? >> Got is there a way that we currently route everything? Is it like note cards that each bus has or what's the current system? So currently it's based on um the last bus where it goes by county road and then we have the most current up toate routes like handdrawn on maps and the bus drivers will bring in like updates if it's like radically different. They just added like a block or you know turn around they won't bring in additional map just for something small but it's it's based on the the bus and then handdrawn maps. >> Why we really want to electronic because Google driver to >> Mrs. Lee. >> Me? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, we had not the greatest month by saleswise, but it was good. We had a fun things for the kids.
I heard they were up very late last night watching the replay, watching the movie. I mean, versus squad. >> All right, we got the Dodge Squad. They're out of Hopkin, I believe. >> Okay, >> and then we have the National PD. Okay, >> so this is Hopkins International. A little cross town rivalry. So, it was Natic Police that won it last year. I just confirmed it. >> Got it. Okay. >> So, the Native Police trying to defend their title. They've had a strong standing so far and they won their first matchup. They took on Ashlin Police earlier. >> So, I think if Ashland Police here, if they lose this game, they're eliminated. So, this is a mustwin for Ashland. And I see their coach. Our uh Ashlin commissioner is out there doing her job right now. >> So here we go. We are underway. Hopkins and Ashlin.
We did a big Valentine's Day thing. Um, but this come this month right here that we're in, we have some exciting stuff. The National School Breakfast Week is going on right now and we have some competitions happening. So, that's pretty fun. But, everything is looking good. We're cruising to the next year, but we are me and Christy work together to uh submit our survey for next year. We're getting our fresh fruit and vegetable um application in and also our renewal with air. Me and Chrissy have been working on that stuff kind of teaching her the way of everything and got a good system going right now. So good. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So um at the high school level we had our OCU scholastic competition and Audrey Schultz gold in psychology and bronze in literature. So, congratulations to her. Uh, Dr. Gin already mentioned middle school or sorry, boys basketball sectional this past weekend.
>> We have a black shirt >> on the left, Ashlin on the right. >> Black shirt versus black shirt over here. >> Couple uh or one down on. >> Now it's two down again. You could say one thing and two seconds later, right? It's that fast. >> So, it looks like we have Nope. Four in for >> four on three. Now it's four on two. Four on one. >> She's in cuz that was a head shot. That was a head shot, right? >> A head shot ref. >> And so they still got three. Yeah, >> there must have been a catch in the meantime. >> Four on three over here. >> Or did they say a head shot brings one back? >> No. No. She She just wasn't eliminated. >> Well, now she is. >> Now she is. Four on two. >> Hopkins trying to hang in there with Ashlin.
I know we have lots of people involved in that. So, shout out to Mr. Marshall who's already left, but make sure he knows. I gave him a shout out. Steve had to work hard along with our facil.

Juniors just recently attended junior achievement lunch with leaders at BU. And shout out to Sage Miller. She placed first in culinary arts at the regional skills USA and she is going to compete in state competition in April.

But but but Saturday the paper came out their third uh blue chip in a row.
>> Four on one. >> All right. >> Oh, she's going to need to make a catch. >> Oh, almost caught it. >> Oh, no. >> Actually, maybe laying down might be the good strategy, >> RIGHT? SHE'S DONE. >> OH, SHE CAUGHT ONE. SOMEONE'S IN. >> ONE BACK. Someone should come in right now, right? Yeah. >> Yes. >> Yep. Here we go. I >> think Ashon two. >> Yeah. Ashley got a little bit too relaxed over there. >> Oh, back to threeon one. >> Wow. >> Look at that. She's dodging them very well. Just, you know, little moves to the side and getting out of the way there. And we'll see if she could uh catch one and bring someone back. still hang. >> Look at that. Hanging tough. >> She's hanging tough. I love it. >> I'd say she's she's the MVP so far. >> IMPRESSIVE.
So yeah, Mrs. Park and I are both very proud of our daughters and their team and all the work they put in. >> I want to give a shout out to uh Tammy Manny for the >> hospitality hospitality all the work that she did there. So, we have been doing state assessments seems quite non-stop lately. So, we finally finished our testing um with third grade. We had to retest a couple fourth and fifth graders this year. So, it took us a little bit longer. Um and then we started our final um I learned checkpoint ready to get those finished and keep moving on. We had the wax museum. We had a great turnout. graders did an amazing job with their rescue. >> I heard people love that. They said it was really good. >> They did great. Yeah, it was a good one for sure.
>> OH, SHE GOT THE OTHER ONE OUT. WE HAVE A TWOON ONE. >> We got to get a name over here. I think her number is Oh, IS SHE OUT? NO, that was a head shot. That's a head shot. >> Oh, it's waved off. >> Oh, no. >> Oh, we hope she's okay. And of course, they're not going for the head shots, but sometimes it's, you know, >> she was ducking. She um that was not intentional, >> but the crowd's into this right now. She's not giving up. >> Yeah, they're still in there. >> We got to get >> I believe uh they could substitute if uh >> they wanted to, but she does not want to. >> She does not want to. She's going to stay in there and she's going to try to take the >> So, I think what happened is you could tell it's a head shot.
Um we also did a fundraiser for Riley Hospital and sold popcorn um for two Fridays and we were able to send Riley Hospital $286 this year. And on Thursday we have Wayne coming to visit us. Maybe we'll get a few on TV on Thursday. So, our second graders took last week as well. We still have a few this week finishing up, but um they do have a chance to pass in second grade and as of right now, we're at 48% passing. Um state average is 51%. So, I mean, I think we're on track% of our students are on track next year. Um, which leaves the rest that we have on our radar. And we have um our kindergarten and little Trojan round up this week. Right now, we have 24 kindergarters signed up and eight new little students. So, rest of us are gearing up for those fun.
