We've got three on three. Coming in she's probably going to go right to the goal. She's a confident player. Nice pass to Lily. Lily buries it. Well, that was a good catch by Lily. That wasn't quite out in front of her. She had to reach back a little bit and grab it. But she did, so she picks up the goal. Assist to Lainey. Lainey Early, confident player. She's looking good. Freshman. Tall, she's got good hands, she's fast. It's going to be a good uh good season for her as well. Yeah, that was a that was good job by her picking up Lily coming in the middle of the field and and Lily's another one who is a uh good target. If you get the ball to her, she's going to catch it and then she can rip it. Peyton on the draw, Ashley scooping it up.
We are in a teacher crisis and if you're going to be wanting to put up stone walls, then that's the perception that you're going to have that you're you're the stonewall group. You're the gatekeeper for all these new teachers and that you're not trying to be collaborative. As I said before, it is not about lowering the standard. It is about being able to do a couple of things at once instead of being doing things literally. We we're in a crisis. But I think my concern is that the teacher standard board does not believe we're in a crisis and is not acting accordingly. Well, it's difficult because when you have teachers, when you have us in the meetings, when you have us um on the standards board and I'm hearing my constituent, when I hear um my teachers coming to me saying, "Oh, how come we're having issues with with these people?
I don't know what your house is assessed at. And if there hasn't been a reassessment a long time, your house is probably assessed pretty low. Okay? So, that's number one to consider. Okay? Number two, the town or the city collects taxes throughout a year, right? January four quarters, right? January-December. We don't operate that way. All right? So, I might say that your tax is going to be $10, but you may actually only pay $8 this year. All right? So, again, when you when you get it, you you know, some people always call not from here, but everywhere I've been be like, "My tax bill is different. You lied." It's not true. Okay? It's the craziest thing about schools, right? It's a different year versus a um a a city year. Okay? So, on all of this, the average home value is $285,000. Not how much your house is worth, how much it's assessed at.
And then we had two in student attendance, and uh we also covered the district action taken in order to be able to address those audit findings. Um all of those items have been put in place. We do have one more outstanding item that hasn't been put in place yet related to student attendance, but we are anticipating that as a system enhancement uh that's been created uh that has been asked of of our provider for the July 1 uh start date. Um with that, I would like to say a uh thank you um to the finance team for the hard work that they do, all of those individuals out at school sites who do finance work um as far as cash handling and things like that, but I'd also like to take a moment to thank our governing board and our cabinet for your support in financial compliance.
The legislation really is K-12 um and and encompasses a lot of different things. So, we'll be speaking quite a bit next year on this new math legislation, but we're we're getting math is getting its justice uh finally. So, we I feel like the state has uh feels like reading is is we're getting a handle on that. And so, now we're really uh looking into the math where our students are um reporting on that, reporting to parents, and then we will have a specific math screener um but they will have to take three times a year um and it will show how they're doing and how they're progressing on the Indiana academic standards in K2. The three-year assessments uh the checkpoints in the the I learn checkpoints will be the screener for uh 3-2-6 and and eight and 7-8 as well. So, we are we are a lot of emphasis is being shifted uh to math as well and I know all of our buildings um they're already in those conversations.
I've never heard of it and we have to go have a conversation with them because they're not complying with the perpetual conditions in that order or don't even know that there's wetlands or storm water on the property. But that but you wouldn't show them the deed in order to educate them about you know the order you know the the work that needs to be done on the with respect to the >> apparently in the case of Cirrus they're not getting the deed so they're not getting it I mean this is not foolproof this I guarantee that putting a notice on the deed is not foolproof but it's the only mechanism that we have to put something out there that the future land owner, if he's smart enough to look at his deed, will figure it out. Otherwise, >> you know, most people don't know what a wetland is.
Nice job. Another another draw control win. See if they can do anything with it here. Peyton to Erin Hickey, 16, coming down. Lainey with the ball. Crowded X. Double teams backs it out. Good job. Lily over to Ryan over to Maddy Callahan. Is it Maddy Callahan? Celia Callahan. Celia Callahan. Ashley back to Ryan. Like to see Ryan do some things this year, get a couple goals, couple points. Last year she was on the varsity. Um got some playing time, little timid, but hopefully this year is a breakout season for her. This year. >> shot on goal in in the first half. So, if she keeps getting opportunities like that, she's going to come through. Lainey behind the net getting a pick from Erin. Nice job, Erin. Way to be aware. Lainey looking for a cutter. Ashley wants to go. No, they're going to back it out, start it over.
Why aren't they passing their practice? Why are we having to, you know, having to help these people out?" And I said, "Wow, this is definitely a problem. We're having people who right now um the support comes not just from um the mentors which I know that that's one of the things they're trying to do but it's the teams that have to I work in a seventh grade setting. I'm having to go and I'm having to have um people coming to me saying, "Wow, I really need to support this person more because they don't have the training that they need. They don't have there's things that they don't know how to do and I'm having to help them." when you put that onto a teacher's workload, that becomes a problem. So that's why where do we fix it? Well, we make sure we go back and we make sure that again that we're talking and we're discussing it with the EPS to make sure that everything is in place and that um that they have that that they know that what these concerns are that are coming up because it's us it's us in the trenches that are starting to feel it.
Okay? So, basically on on um Where am I looking for the fiscal year? Top one. Sorry, I can't I can't I don't have my glasses. I didn't think I had any. So, $245 is the annual increase. Okay? $245 on on that average home value. So, it's it's technically $20 $21 a month. Okay? That's your impact. Okay? Probably a little less if as they collect it. Now, here's your analysis over the last few years. Don't want to get too much into this, but I think it's important to see the historical context. Back in 2021, we had a 0%. Okay? Then the board, you know, said, "Well, we got to fund a couple of things." Went up to 9.6%. 9.6%. That's actually a low number still for us. In order to fund everything to be added to be into adequacy, we probably need around 16-17%. Obviously, that that would just be um not really attainable right now or tenable right now.
Without your support, we certainly um can't do the work that we do and would not have the audit results that we have. So, thank you. I will stand for any questions. Thank you very much for all your guys' work. Uh very much appreciated, and here's looking forward to the new accounting standards, right? Mr. President, I just want to thank our our business department, our our accounting team, everybody involved, Francy, Marydel, um everybody over there. They do a wonderful job, and um you know, you hear a lot of stories, and those stories are not true in Dysart, and that's uh obvious when we get an audit like this, and and they work hard to do that. So, I appreciate all your efforts, and I just want to say thank you. I'd like to say thank you, for all your hard work. Thanks. Thanks so much. All right, motion to accept the financial audit and compliance questionnaire from Heinfield, Meech and Company, P.C., Certified Public Accounts for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
What does that look like for math um instruction next year? How does that change? Uh how does that also the interventions and enrichment opportunities? How do we make those just like we've done for reading? Very much appreciate the preparedness. So, thank you for being out in front and hopefully we can be there faster than other school corporations around here. So, thank you. staff and principals, we will be. of the um reading skills program has been what they call the science of reading. Will there be an equivalent uh set of tools or professional development opportunities on the math side? thing, but then also what's the instruction behind that? The state has not given us guidance, but they look heavily at the floor at Florida State and the work that they do there. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some alignment there, but we've not been given any set of directions on what's the best research-based program.
A a real estate attorney reviewing the deed for purchase and sale would call this out to their um you know, to the buyer or not. Well, I mean, when I bought my house, they called out that there was um going to be a betterment fee on it. Consumer plan for front of he called that out. It wasn't at that time that I said down the road, but he let me know that that was going to happen. A good real estate attorney would do the same thing. They would see that, okay, you have these issues that you need to be aware of. >> Yeah. And and if it says there a wetland and then it references the um order of conditions without going into the specifics of of fertilizer and that kind of thing. Doesn't that that would also put them on notice that that there's something to look out for here.
Peyton to Ashley. Ashley trying to make a move around two defenders. Oh my, sidearm slinger again. She does a great job getting that through. It didn't look like there was much space there at all, but she was still able to get the shot off and put it really the only place she could. There were a couple of defenders there and she did a nice job keeping it low and I'm not sure the goalie ever saw it. Definitely did not. She came right around the defender. Um you know, we like to as coaches, we like to say that we taught her that back in the day. Sure. Sure. That sidearm slinger, it's hard to it's hard to pull off. We worked on it a lot in practice and seems like it's finally paying off. So, good for good for Ashley doing. How many goals she have today now, Kev?
So I hear my teachers, I hear the ones I go out and I talk to people and they're telling me about the the quality of the people that are coming into the classrooms. So when you say quality, yes, it does make a difference. Um when you go through a very robust program and that's why when we don't have enough candidates within the the EPS that we have right now, we're trying to help them as well to fill their programs up. So more doesn't necessarily mean um that we're going to get more candidates. We have right now part of our policy too is to do reciprocity. So when you talk about people who go through different programs in different states, they can come over, we look at what they have and if there's certain um we look at their guidelines and if it's we pretty much have reciprocity with with almost all the states if I'm not mistaken.
And then it went back down to a 0%. So, again, not faulting anyone. I don't know what was happening at the time or what it was going on, but technically, if you look at it, a zero and 9.6 and a zero means you have to split that 9.6 in half. Okay? So, for two of those three years, the board was only raising taxes really 4. what? 8%? Right? 8 16, yeah. Okay? So, even though 9.6 looked great and but it was really it really split you guys in half. So, that perpetuates a cycle. So, in '04-'05, it went to 4.5% throwing millions of dollars into the next year. Last year, same thing. 4.5% millions of dollars into this year. And now we're going 5% and we're throwing millions of dollars into next year. And for the first time, unfortunately, we have to reduce positions. Okay?
Second. Motion carries. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yep, motion carries. Thank you very much. >> [snorts] >> Next item on the agenda is recommendation to approve the Grand Canyon Education, Grand Canyon University, and Dysart Unified School District Number 89 memorandum of understanding. Thank you, Mr. President. Dr. Asai will take us through this uh topic. Good evening again, Mr. President, members of the board. It's my pleasure tonight to present on the opportunity we have with Grand Canyon University and Rise 360. Rise 360 continues to build our education pipeline of people going into classrooms in Dysart. It is an learn, earn, and return pathway for our current high school students. It is a structured program, really kind of bridging kids from being classroom students to classroom teachers, and it is designed, it says here, to be completed in two to 2.5 years. Um that is correct. That's how much time it could take.
And so, we're going to continue using our best research-based program, which is our adopted series, and then look this first year on what the math screener is, how those work together, and then come up with the best plan for our students and staff. Mhm. So, it just depends on the number of students that I'm sorry, new teachers that we have. We have a small number, there may be some things internally that we can do. When we have a large number like 10 and 12, it is wonderful to have that extra support through additional staff, but if that's not the case, again, a low number, most of that can be done within our within our resources that we have. Mhm. But again, Gail shout-out to Gail Coors and Polly Major. They created resource um packets and research materials that we can continue to use. Thank you.
>> Yeah. And if it if it references [clears throat] the order conditions and the order conditions has those conditions in perpetuity for um [clears throat] for the low fert fertilizer and low nitrogen phosphorus. um then it should be you know brought to their attention by their real estate law lawyer to the commission. I've adjusted the language on 22D to read record the following statement on the deed. Wetland resource areas and associated buffer zones exist on the property and work done in these areas are subject to review by the conservation commission and in order of conditions with perpetual conditions issued under Mass D file number. I haven't finished writing the file number yet. Um this language must be on the deed or on a restrictive document acceptable to the town and recorded with the registry of deeds. Proof of recording must be provided to the Ashen Conservation Commission prior to issuance of a certificate of compliance and then 22E is removed.
That is her third of the day. Full hat trick. Peyton Trip. I'm pretty sure that went high enough ref. It's got to go over your shoulder and that was pretty close to high enough. That's the rule in girls lacrosse. I'm not sure if they called a false start there or or what the decision was, but regardless, Norwood ball. Allie O'Neal working the ball in for Norwood. Norwood over to number nine. She's not on this list. There she is, Nora Kidd. Looking at that cutter wide open down the middle. Duffy with a big stop. Wow, seeing the ball point blank. Nice pick up by Ashley Forester to be there. That might have been the best of the bunch. You know, she's made a lot of great ones. That that was a beautiful save. That was point blank. Great stop. Great stop. Ooh, nice look. Here comes Lily right down the middle.
Let me just follow up on that, Christie. So, you know, one of the things for me is that I understand and I certainly appreciate uh the board and all they're doing to make sure that we have qualified teachers in the classrooms, but sometimes passing a test and just because you you're able to get your license doesn't necessarily mean that you're a a good teacher in the classroom. And um there is a lot of evidence of that. And I've heard just as you've heard from your people, I've heard a lot from the people that are saying that. And so when you have someone and I'm just going to put on the spot, you know, Shauna here who has gone through has been student teach have been teaching and so forth and yet come across where he he she she has to go ahead and and redo student teaching.
