>> Yes. >> Uh, over the next several years, do you have a dollar amount if we were to pass this, what that would cost per year? Um, so it this only currently only applies to active workers that are still working for the Hawaii Department of Education that work during that period of time. The number would probably be in the range of over the course of the 4-year period total would probably be in the range of 150 to 200 million if there were the funding of that nature. So that's why we looked at the um if you recall we were looking at the the rental car um tax right as far as um a mechanism to provide funding for the state to provide a revenue generation. Um and that was a way to raise anywhere between 70 to $80 million annually for the state. One thing if you notice in this bill is it doesn't start the payments until I think two years um in 2028 if I'm not mistaken.
So, let's give a warm round of applause for Moaz. And and if if mom and dad would come up, we'll take a picture and >> and he'll take the picture for you. All right. >> How are you? >> Thank you for coming. Ready. >> Ready. >> Okay. So, where are we now? >> Okay. Okay. We're going to take a a short five minute break. Um after which we'll have some presentations. flashback. People know how bad it really was. one or two months. You actually move them back here that long. All right, everybody. We are going to reconvene the meeting. At this time, we have two presentations. Uh the first one by Mr. Ross and the second one, our budget presentation by Miss Lee. for the board of education members. Since the screen is behind us, I encourage everybody now to move into the audience and let's listen to Mr.
Um so, I wanted to just make sure that uh Davian did get special recognition for this. Um because he's been absolutely killing it and right now we're doing spring season, we're doing Mario Kart and I promise you Mario Kart is a lot harder to play than you think it is. Just please watch the kids and you'll understand. Um and this season, the top 16 racers um and their times are going to be playing live at the event as well. So, I'll have that information for you guys if we get there, but uh Davian, I would love to call you up so we can give you an award. So, uh this is Davian Montalvo, TOP 10. [applause] >> [applause] >> OKAY. THANK YOU, DR. THANK YOU, MR. DERR. AGAIN, MY APOLOGIES. Thank you. Thank you. Uh any committee reports? Mrs. Petrie. Well, our finance committee has uh finance committee has met.
I'll just say that. Um and also with that just the int intentional integration of um planning timelines and all of that in a proactive approach again so that we have the opportunity to secure um high quality candidates. All right, as we shift into our academics, the um K8 has been busy, y'all, with uh all of the committees, all of the learning, all of the opportunities. Um it's been um inspiring to watch how each of them leads in those different spaces. um the math committee is has been beginning and for them it's really been about you know what are our beliefs what are our norms what do we like what is the rigor what is the data looking like so that we can be clear about our strengths and our gaps and areas of opportunity so that they can begin to have this alignment for next school year so a lot of analysis happening in that stage one um for K8 ELA um they have shifted into a full alignment with standard space as well as the literacy framework so not just in um materials but actually in how we um standardize learning for students.
What I have worked out with them is the ability to keep football on campus all summer long. So, working with them to create a safety corridor where all football players will be able to kind of go down along the tennis courts, um cross over their construction uh entrance, and they'll have signage and speed bumps, and then they will actually uh man have somebody there the time that we are sending kids out and bringing kids back across. Um and then we're also going to put a like port-a-potty toilet out there for football players so nobody has to come up back up to use the restroom. So, players will not be allowed to cross um come and go. They'll go down as a group, come back as a group for any summer conditioning workout that's um happening. So, yeah. >> the track how are the track teams being moved once construction starts?
Thank you, Mrs. Ramirez. Uh board members, you heard the recommendation of the administration to purchase Pearson Sullivan Algebra and Trigonometry and MyMathLab Mathematics for use beginning in 2026-2027 at the price of $67,087.49. May I have a motion? So moved by Ms. Bazan. Seconded by Mr. Angel.
Anything else, guys? Then let's vote on our motion. Motion passes 6-1. Congratulations, Mr. Brimberry. You're the new superintendent. I've got uh several things I want to acknowledge tonight on this process, but number one, I want to thank Mr. Allen and the school board for this opportunity. Um I am honored to become the 10th superintendent in Huntington um at HCCS history. Um this is a proud history of success at Huntington schools. I'm not walking into a position um that is not used to being highly successful. We have great schools in Huntington. We have outstanding teachers. We have a great community and most importantly, we have an unbelievable uh student body. And so I'm honored to sit up here and I'll uh I'll try to keep this together, but I have a few people to thank. Uh number one, I see uh some familiar faces. Uh I'm I'm a little caught off why team Brimberry hasn't been here more often, but uh I see them there tonight.
Um that way that looks at they're trying to look at the state for economic well-being as well. Right. So, and it's also done in $5,000 installments over a four-year period. So, it's not as big of a price tag in just one year. >> Okay. >> Thank you, >> Chim. Just wanted to say I certainly can identify with what you're saying fairness because we in the legislature or in the Senate, our COVID committee worked really long hours, many days, and we didn't get anything. Some of our some of the people that were staff and now legislators got co money. And so, yeah, we understand. However, in this time of um austerity that we're going through with everything, um you know, a case can certainly be made that you negotiated these step increases. It's difficult that uh on the co sites. So, just understand where you're coming from.
Ross's presentation on absenteeism. Okay. Hello everybody. So, I'm going to give a quick presentation on the chronic absenteeism plans that we have for each of our school buildings. Um, this is a system of even more attention to our already intention to make sure that students recognize how important it is for them to be present every day in order for their education to be cohesive and also, you know, to build these habits of mind. So, we start off with the theme, which is we do solutions. In sitting with the principles and the vice principles to review their chronic absenteeism plans, I've noticed that they've been working since the beginning of this school year with the assistant superintendent to look at ongoing ways to review how to support our students and make sure that the parents and the children understand their need to be in school. So why and what is a cap or a chronic absenteeism corrective action plan?
We'll be meeting a lot more times before the final budget is in and then Mr. Bruce said uh it's still at the county, we're in the queue, so we haven't received it back from the county yet. And we'll be meeting again till we get it where we want it to be. Thank you. Uh first of all, I I'm going to open up the uh comments to the public on agenda items. Uh but prior to that, I just want to thank uh Dr. Tomko, Mr. Labou, and our tech department for being able to put up so many pictures from the March 9th Youth Art Month uh celebration and reception that they had. Uh I think this is a majority of the pictures and I could be wrong on that. Uh but the entire district, every grade uh submitted artwork and uh they really did a fantastic job and uh they well deserve the credit that they have.
So that's very exciting as well. Um additionally our science committee has been extremely intentional as well about how they are looking at culturally responsive teaching and leading standards as well as the NGSS standards for that alignment. Um and so it's just it's been powerful to see that cross collaboration among the different stakeholders with OEA and administrators. with early childhood. We've conducted some data review that involved identifying needs in pre-iteracy and crosscat classrooms. As far as Spanish language arts and our ability to recognize resources for our multilingual special education students, we've led to advanced scope and sequencing within a curriculum, pacing assessments and aligned across multiple standards to include culturally responsive teaching and learning standards as well as Spanish language arts and Spanish language development standards. for our K5 special education ELA curriculum committees. We continue to work with teams to develop um a rubric that where we are um entertaining uh requests for um uh requests for proposals to review some curricular resources and we've gathered some staff input on curricular resources and then you'll hear later tonight about where we are in phase four really phase five in the comprehensive preview.
Yeah, so we're using the ESC. We're using the main gym. Uh auxiliary the both gyms over there. There's a spot behind there as well. There's a pad an asphalt pad back there where I know they're going to be doing um hurdle work out there, high jump. We're going to see about potentially moving pole vault up there as well. Um if we can get a pole vault pit safely into the ground up there. Uh we're looking at long jump going back behind the ESC in that kind of old intermediate playground. So, um Sprints? will be here just as I think we'll go to Eagle Park a lot. That sounds complicated. Just a summer. Do you guys have any other questions for Mr. Seal? I'm good. Thank you. I would like to turn your attention to finance for us for the month of February. So, we're always looking at the month that we just had.
Are there any questions or comments? Yes, Mrs. Ramirez, thanks for uh pointing out that this is an attempt to with this textbook to connect Algebra and Trig, which are obviously two different areas of math. So, has that been going on for a while, the connections between Algebra and Trig at at the pre-cal level? That is typically what we do see, but we feel that this text will heighten the alignment between the two, as well as prepare our students for then AP Calculus or whatever their next course of study would be, whether that is statistical analysis or another dual credit offering of ours. Thank you. And board members, just want to point out this is a purchase for 6 years. That was all. Just want to make that clear.
I want to thank my wife, Michelle. Uh she understands uh the sacrifice that comes with this position. Dog gone it. Uh thank team Brimberry. I've even listed you tonight. I'll save the best for last on this. Uh Nolan, Adriana, Nathan, Elise, uh Maddie, who is not here cuz she's diligently in class at Indiana State, uh Libby, and most importantly, the uh my favorite person in the audience tonight, uh Brooks is here, my grandson. So, I want to thank that group. Uh their support uh in different corporations, but uh in the last 4 years is been invaluable to me. Uh my administrative team, uh they're the best in the state. It's not close. I want to uh thank them for being here. Uh we have leadership different positions at HC um CS. Um I want to thank Mandy Barnum and HCTA leadership. I rely on them in their positions and we talk uh frequently and that respect is mutual uh both ways.
>> Understand >> and teachers do our homework. So, when you ask, we came with the revenue generator because we wanted to make sure that we did our homework to see how we could help the state too. >> Thank you. >> Sort of like me. Yeah. >> Absolutely. >> You absolutely do your homework. Yes. >> Any any further follow-up questions? I had to ask some clarification please. So this bill would allow uh that payment to be made only for teachers who are currently teaching and worked during the co period. Those teachers who have since retired would not get paid. >> Not under this current draft. >> I don't see how that's fair. But >> any further followup questions? Okay. If not, I'll turn it over to you Kim for the next items. Thank you. >> Thank you. Let's see where are we 188. Okay. House Bill 1888, House draft 3.
The New Jersey Department of Education has a requirement that if we hit a 10% mark of students being 18 days absence out of 18 18 days absent out of 180 days, then we need to create a corrective action plan to make sure we get below that 10%. Um to give you an example, say Lafayette has about 240 students. So 10% of that is 24 students. So it gives you a sense of the numbers that we're looking at. It's a small number but we are doing well. So what does the state want us to look at? They ask us to look at problems and barriers to stool students coming to school. They look at for us to review recommendations that are going to help us support parents, you know, children coming to school. They look at the communication strategies that we have in place to make sure we are you know implementing things that will help change any chronic absenteeism.
So, I want I appreciate them getting it together for us tonight. So, with that, I will open up the uh microphone for comments from the public for agenda items only, please. Seeing none, we will move on. So, may have a motion for personnel resolutions 8.1 through 8.14. Can I make a motion to table 8.5? There is a motion. Is there a second motion to table 8.5? A second for Mr. Otto. Roll call, Mr. Labou. Mr. Diaz. This is for the uh table, correct? >> Yes, this is a vote to table um 8.5. To the next meeting? I. Mr. Taylor. Nay. Mr. Otto. I. Mrs. Hassan. I. Mr. Kieliszak. I. Mr. Gabba. I. Mrs. Petrie. I. Mr. Focarino. Nay. So, I'm going to ask for a motion for resolutions 8.1 through 8.4 and 8.6 through 8.14. I'll make a motion. Mr. Gabba. And who seconded it?
So in terms of the high school, uh, science is currently in stage two. So focusing on their curriculum and scope and sequence, math is in stage one, as Dr. Waller mentioned, really working on that needs assessment, uh, preparing to then revise curriculum and scope and sequence next year where ELA at the high school level is in stage three. So they're establishing their teams to review to see if there's any need for revisions or edits. Um key things about next steps especially in science as they finalize their scope and sequence they'll be then moving into assessments. So common assessments to be used as a high school. So looking not only at building those common assessments but then also the rubrics to establish As far as next steps for early childhood, we will then be working to develop the scope and sequence, create a rubric, and review vendors to prepare for an RFP for a pilot.
You have the fund report that I won't pull up here, but you you have that as you get for every month. And then you also have an education sheet that looks like operations. Tonight we will only go through operations. But you have the same sheet that's up here on the screen for operations. And so a few of of the notes what I I really appreciate Megan being able to do is this little blurb that's way over here to the right and it kind of gives you just a really quick look at a few of the different categories. Admin operations overall it's down by 3,000. Bank fees are up by 700 which um you know, it's it's never good to to go up, but bank fees are some of those fees that like there's not a way to save money on bank fees. It it is what it is.
Are there any questions or com- other questions or comments? All right, let's move to a vote. All in favor signify by saying I. I. Nays? The vote carries 5-0. Move on to action item 5.03, textbook and resource adoption, secondary, Mrs. Ramirez. Thank you, Mr. President and board members. I am here tonight to request the recommendation um for the adoption of the following text or curricular resource for AP Pre-calculus. This is from the publisher Cengage, and the material is Pre-calculus for AP by Stewart, Watson, and Panman. This curricular resource will help support the teaching and learning in Advanced Placement Pre-calculus. This is a new course for us to be offering in the 2026-2027 school year that you guys have previously approved as a new course um addition to Crown Point High School's AP course offerings. So, it is the administration's recommendation that the school board approve this curricular resource for adoption for use beginning in 2026-2027.
