Um we just we we don't want to be focusing and doing things and then have the peer reviewer have a different direction and then have to redo it. It's a cost and and a burden. And I you know we started looking at some of them. So it's not like we're sitting here waiting. We started looking at it. We're just not prepared to um fully respond and we think it appropriate to wait for the peer review. >> My concern is that uh for the record that the record needs to be clear and the record needs to show a clear separation between your answers to our questions and your answers to peerreview responses. And so if they're comingled, that's going to be difficult. >> So the the the responses won't be comingled. What we plan to do is prepare a revised plan and stormwater report for in response to your comments, both peer reviewer comments.
That. Nice bounce shot. Bouncers are a little difficult to to track for goal tender as I was one and I know. Had a lot of goals scored against me. Yeah. >> That's those are tough ones. That is a tough one for Alana to stop. You saw her get down really low to try to get there, but as she did the ball bounced over her. Not a lot you can do about that. You got you need to be thinking about going low and then the ball goes up. So we got 5-1. Ashlin's still up by four. 9:30 left in the second. Payton Trip on the draw again. Lily Vitti on the circle and Ashley Forrester on the circle. See what Payton can do here. Good pop. Nice nice grab by Ashley. Ooh, well lost control of that ball there. Might have got the stick here when she threw it.
Okay. Um are Christie, are you familiar with the apprenticeship grant that um the board >> Yes. >> got? Okay. Uh and it was $4.9 million. Correct. Is that do I have correct? >> Yes. >> And under that apprenticeship that was from 2024 and it ends in 2027. Is that correct? That is correct. >> Okay. So, and but it hasn't been it hasn't been acted upon. >> Could you kind of share with us why why this is not been acted upon? >> Sure. So, um, we've been trying to, uh, when we heard what other states are doing in terms of the apprenticeship program, um, there's just a movement going on where I think we're like one of maybe like two other states that don't have an apprenticeship going on. So, we've tried to, um, reach out. We were, um, we brought everybody to the table to see if anybody would take this on.
I'd like to take a picture of it because I don't think anybody's done that. You change a sink or whatever. It's the same thing here, okay? Your kids and our staff members live here. They live here every day. Okay, it has to be a warm place, it has to be somewhere where they're safe, they feel at home, right? If you if you put nice paint on a wall, they won't mess it up. Okay, that's old thinking. All right, it's the same thing here. And this board is dedicated to making those changes, but we know we can't do it all overnight. We don't have the money for that, but we can budget for it so that every year in a plan, right? In a in a maintenance plan or in a long-range facilities plan which is due in May, we will have this done so then 5 years everything is, you know, as fresh as it could be and and as we continue to main maintain programs.
I feel like the public doesn't feel that these schools or the HVAC or the fire panels are a priority. I mean, it's concerning because we need these and I fully support what you're asking, but I just don't know that we have the time or the money to do it this year. Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Dr. Croto, can you give us a little bit more information, remind us where we're at as far as triggering the ADM on a new build for through schools facilities? Well, I believe that them scratching some Maryvale can help me with that. Do you remember exactly where we left? I I I believe the high school would trigger before an elementary school, but if you know specifics. Um Dr. Croto, yes, I don't have it in front of me, but I want to say when we submitted it was about 2032, 2030.

But what we will do is have a letter and that letter will have the numbered letters. So we'll have a section that specifically responds to one through the 10 pages of the agents comments. We'll have a separate section that responds to GCG with the comment and our response. And then we'll do the same for Bills and Thomas. So we'll have each of them will be responded to separately. So you'll have a clear and concise answer, but we want to have one plan set, one package um submitted. So it'll be that that plan set will refer to those those comments. >> Okay? And in your notes, uh you may have said this, but I didn't hear it. If you did, you should uh uh note that we're asking for a review of the uh so management plan as well. >> Yes, I do have that. I'll I'll highlight that.
Get on the ride here. Brian on the chase. Erin on the chase. Comes Erin again. Stay on sides. This girl is going to go right down the pipe. Nice check by Ashley Forrester. Norwood putting the ball into the offensive zone now. Do you think you have the roster there Kevin I gave you earlier for Norwood's team? So no I don't. Okay. Usually we're prepared folks. Today we're finding out maybe we've got blown away in the wind here, but The wind is a factor tonight. Not not for the players so much, but for the announcers for sure. Yeah. 15 looks like an upperclassman. She's playing well. 21 as well. Sammy Side running up to play some defense here. Leaving the back door wide open for somebody. Oh boy. Sammy just hip checking the player to the ground. Hard to get away with that one. That one was pretty pretty obvious.
um and it was it seemed like nobody wanted to take it on. We asked all the different um stakeholders. So we said okay let's write this grant let's be the ones to sponsor it. So uh we had sponsored it we put in for the application we were able to get the money. Um then we had gone to the table and we said okay we need to approve the standards first so that we can get the committee going. Um from there um it was with HGA at the time because apprentices are um educational assistants. They would be under they would fall under a certain bargaining uh unit class. Um so we had brought HGA to the table and then um HSTA said you know they wanted to be a part of this. So we invited them onto um the uh we added them on to the to the list of people who would also be involved.
I put this up last year, shared service agreements. Mayor and council were willing to sit and talk about. There's a lot of different things that we can share here and I and I and hopefully we can sit and talk. I know I'm meeting in a few weeks about certain other things, but I mean there's different things that we can definitely share in this city that can save all the taxpayers money. So, I can't wait to speak about that um at some point. All right, so we're projecting to spend $693 less than the regional limit. Okay, so the regional limit is $2,900.78 I'm sorry, $2,978 for administrative cost per pupil. We're going to be doing less than that, okay? Which is if you really think about it, interesting. Okay, and that's administrative costs, costs of all those things that you hear about salaries, etc. So, we're doing again more with less, right?
So, it's in the early '30s is when it would even um potentially and that would be really at the high school level. Um could be even considered through the SFD. We continue to submit within our annual capital plan for it to be considered with just our estimates, but um the most recent feedback it was about 2032. For a high school. Mhm. But I mean, so just hypothetically, where are we at? So, we we're going going to have kids that age in to to school age, but we're also going to have children that age out, that graduate. So, do we know where we're at? I mean, are you still pretty confident that it's the 2032 ish? Currently, that's so that's what they're projecting within the high school. Now, the K-8 still does have some more capacity within there because Okay. there are more K-8 schools and so really when you look at at the entire ADM for the district in that grade level, that wouldn't really trigger for for quite some time.

Kevin and I had the pleasure of coaching most of these girls through their youth program and it's good to see Sammy Side out there getting some minutes and also just crushing people with some hip checks. That that could be valuable. You know, if they start thinking I don't want to go near the net because of what might happen. That's Stop by Alana Duffy again. The sweep on the opposite leg. Good good save. That's a tough one. Got to come all the way around with that stick for that save. Alana's going to come out of the net. Look for outlet pass here.

And then from there it turned into a we met a few times and then it turned into a um there was some bargaining collective bargaining things that had come up. So at that point u bargaining is you know um obviously the DOE. So then it became the DOE and the union that had to uh talk about some of these issues regarding bargaining. So um again we kind of came to the table but as a sponsor we couldn't we're not the ones who can call the meetings. So it would be the DOE that would need to bring people to the table. So at that point um we met again and we had thought we had come up with a solution in terms of um making sure that uh the apprentices would be instead of having 450 uh hours um and being a teacher of record. We said okay um as an apprentice uh they need to have stricter guidelines.
I hate saying that, but it's the truth. I only I only speak what's out there. >> [clears throat] >> This budget has a 5% projected tax levy. That's what we're proposing tonight, okay? We'll see the numbers in a second. Um and but these are and these are the revenue projections. I know for a lot of people, you know, it gets a little confused confusing maybe. Um but, you know, there's state aid in there. We did get 6% increase in state aid. There's some federal aid in there as well. However, the local tax levy is almost is $39 million, $39.1. All right, that's an important piece and unfortunately has to go up a little bit and there's another slide that kind of breaks it down. There's one? Okay. Okay, so there's your total revenue projections. It's any type of simple accounting. The revenues, right? The left side meets the right.
I don't have the date right in front of me, but um that would trigger after the high school, which wouldn't be for quite some time. Um and just with the the new talks with the the legislation, um there was a the recent Supreme Court ruling that said that schools were funded um like the process in which schools are funded is illegal. Do we know where that stands as far as a resolution through the legislature? Um at this point there is no uh further conversation. In fact, if anything, there's been conversations of them looking to appeal what that what that was. So that would drag that out several more years. That is correct. Thank you. Um did we receive any specific feedback from the voters after the last bonds? Uh no, not after the vote. Okay. We we have not We have not gone back out to survey or anything.
