Molly chips up but still gets the pass but Williams able to get it. Williams to Olsen. Olsson goes back to Schneider down to Sachs. No, no, no. Lascow. Lascow. Turnaround move. Oh, great defense. Oh, but shape. Oh my goodness. Spalding finishing it off from some excellent down low play and pass by Luscow. >> What a goal. Three to one now. >> Now you got Schneider coming out of the game. >> I don't know. Little rest something. expect she'll be back in soon. She's been just amazing >> on the team ever since she started and she's like that just the I don't know it's almost like a point guard almost. Did they just give her the ball behind the net and she makes the pass and she just runs almost runs the offense and definitely does from behind the net along with I mean other players also run the offense on this team.
I'm a faculty in the College of Education. I'm personally not sitting on the CLSD work group grant that committee but from my colleagues that are serving on it, it's my understanding that they've been coming together with the institutes of higher ed in our state and faculty the Department of Education with conversations around structured literacy and best approaches to ensuring that all of our students are graduating with the ability to read and comprehend and engage in society proficient in reading. Okay. I guess I'm sitting here. >> [laughter] >> I mean, isn't that a basic reading is a basic that I've been around for centuries and it seems like only now we're looking at these types of programs to get students to learn to read. What What have we been doing 10 20 years ago? I mean I don't know. It doesn't seem odd that it's only now all of a sudden and you're in a year two of a five-year grant that will finally give us the light bulb goes off on how we're going to teach students to read.
>> Yeah. Yes. You knew they were temporary. Yes. Uh they were they were they were created um under the authority of for the superintendent uh to create those positions. >> Yeah. But within that it's supposed to be within the one year. >> I wasn't I wasn't aware of that. But then you knew they were temporary, you said. Yes. And yet you asked us Yes, you asked us for permanent positions for the two temporaries. >> Is it one of those like portable, you know, temporary to become permanent? No. I mean it's just temporary. Um so so so I didn't because I didn't realize that and I will check that the uh positions had a one-year sunset on them. Um those it was my understanding that once those positions are created um I didn't have the authority to create temporary positions and so those temporary positions needed the support staff of which we came and we asked for that.
>> Hearing none, all those in favor of Diesel signify by saying I. >> I. Opposed. >> Motion carries. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Next on the agenda, personnel recommendations. Michelle Williams. Good evening. >> Good evening, President Duckworth, members of the board, Dr. Hoover. Tonight's personnel recommendations include the following: retirement, resignations, end of adjunct assignments, termination, regular appointments, administrative transfers, position reassignment, temporary appointment, leave of absence, resignations from extraduty, appointment to extraduty, after school appointment, and consideration of the administrative appointment of Seth Wolf, head girls soccer coach at Central High School. These recommendations are presented for your approval. So move. >> Second. a motion and a second on the personnel recommendations.
In terms of performance, we've completed our checkpoint two practice tests. And we'll finish our checkpoint three practice tests this week. We just have a couple to go. In terms of their performance, grade five English language arts, we we were right with the state average is slightly below. Um and on checkpoint three we there was a greater gap. So we've got to look at that, but still nothing to be alarmed about. In terms of math, we surpassed the state average in fifth grade math. For grade six English language arts slightly below the state average on checkpoint two. They're going to complete checkpoint three this week. In math, they were above the state average on checkpoint two and they were well above the state average on checkpoint three. I just want you to take note of those those comments and remember where we were just a few years ago at our lower levels, our grades five and six.
This is a good big accomplishment. >> Yes. Mhm. And state is in Indianapolis? Or close to it, Hamilton County. Yeah, pretty close to Indianapolis. This is a venue we haven't been to before. Last two years it's been Ball State hosting it. Okay. Arena at Innovation Mile. Mhm. When they have these games at state, do they put them up on a huge screen? Kind of I've seen some of the larger arenas, I think with Japan maybe, some of the those countries seem to have eSports are huge and they do the whole arenas where everyone can see. Is that how it is with state or how do they do that? Yeah, it will be this year. Yeah, I mean I I wouldn't say it's as like grand as like the huge eSports tournaments that you see but they're but it still usually is when you have like an event with spectators, it's usually two computers, two rigs, whatever setup they are.
Raiders just have a very strong team. Look at this sacks shot and what a save by Amelia H. Oh, look at that. Luscal a little aggressive in front. Amelia H is going to think about that one next time. >> Pass. Good catch by Hollison. They're trying to work it out. Getting swarmed by Williams and Luscow. Made her miss. Here we go. This is going to be Lynch. Lynch dish it to um Luscow up Sachs over to Spalding. Luscow to Spalding. 35 seconds left. Raiders looking like they're gonna try to hold out for the last shot. Working it. Spalding down. Goes behind the net to Luscow. [snorts] Luscow looking to Spalding. 15 seconds now. Suscow with it behind the net. Luscow looking a little move here. Luscow going towards the net. draws a few defenders and another big save by Amelia and a good last shot attempt >> and that was uh it was Williams with the shot I believe.
Am I being sarcastic about that? I mean, isn't that kind of weird? I can't speak to the work of the grant. I can speak to the five pillars of reading that were mentioned in the proposal and I would tell you that those were part of my preparation program over 25 years ago. I don't think that some of the content is new but there has been renewed efforts and interest to really focus instruction around best practices and evidence-based practices. And I and I would think I would say that teaching is a field where we are lifelong learners and constantly looking at our practice and in our development and our understanding and continually making sure that we're staying ahead and current with current research and practices. And I believe that that's the work of the grant although again I can't speak personally. I'm not on the grant.
>> But you're saying you knew that when you appointed Jess Jesse or Jesse's position and Tammy's position that you knew they were temporary. Those two deputies were supposed to be temporary. They were in temporary positions. But I I it was my understanding that I could establish temporary positions that were funded by the department and hire into those positions until such a time where um I I deemed that those positions were no longer temporary. So I wasn't aware of the one year uh limit. So maybe the AG can answer this. So now that we know that those positions were temporary and that they need to cease to exist, what happens then? Can he then create two new same positions? Uh at this point I'm going to have to very sorry I'm going to have to take it back to our education division so that they can um uh look at that issue, but I I will ask them to um address that issue.
Any questions or comments? >> I do have a question. Uh, President Duckworth. Good evening, Miss Michelle. The question that I have, I know on the personal recommendations, and I apologize. I should have I had it up and I exited. Under administrative transfers, uh, we see a very familiar name. At least I know I principal at Greenwood Middle School. if she's listening to this. >> Um, thank you for everything that you do. You all know her as Principal Oliver. I still call her Coach Oliver. She had my daughter and, uh, she was absolutely a blessing to her in that time. But the question that I have is how are we going to ensure that the next principal of Glenwood is not only going to reflect the same heartbeat, the relational leadership because they had such a strong connection with community and the families um, that currently exists.
Grade seven, we still have some work to do. We were below the state average in English language arts. Checkpoint two and we were also below on checkpoint three. Math, we were below the state average on checkpoint two and they're finishing their checkpoint three this week. So there's our targeted area for this summer, our seventh grade curriculum and so forth. Grade eight English language arts, we were approximately equal to the state average on checkpoint two in the English language arts. They're scheduled to complete checkpoint three this week. In mathematics they were approximately equal to the state average on checkpoint two and they're scheduled to complete checkpoint three this week. So things are going in a good direction there from our practice testing data. Questions on that, first of all? Good. I applaud the work of our teachers. They really worked hard over the last 2 years uh reviewing, revising, analyzing curriculum, uh working on instruction, and so forth.
Maybe they're side by side, maybe they're facing each other. And then like it's usually like a projector or a different TV that's got both of their screens on it. Okay. So everyone can watch. Is it kind of like the main arena almost like if you have a wrestling match or whatever and then the um the spectators on the outside? I I want to advocate for that. I've seen some like eSports arenas that are inside of like a wrestling ring. It's just so it's so over the top, I love it. But Jordan getting started. Yes, we have our second match of the night, Jordan StrixyX1 on the left side of the screen, that is your cyber tiger going up against Sprout from Adams Central. Looks like he's made another good move or a move. Mhm, yes, a good move. Setting up another T-spin. This might cap Sprout out.
So after one quarter it's three to one right now. And I mean, I was kind of in the middle of trying to say, um, if you know who scored that first goal, text me on my on the Instagram account, DSCable TV, and I will give them credit. >> Yeah. So, we have a minute 34 left to go before more action. I'm just going to shut the audio off for one second. All right, we are back with some second quarter stuff starting momentarily. I'm Brad Crannle, Elsa Suko on camera. Cam Crannle doing the Instagram story and post. About to >> get this thing ready. Ref getting the ball into position for the two centers >> and we are off. Whoa, little contact. Mley flew down, but Sachs pass it over to Lynch. Lynch circling, dishes it off to Luscow. >> Lascow pass up to Molly. Molly with a great shot, but what a save by Ameilia H.
I didn't write the grant and I'm also not on that committee. >> I appreciate you saying that because it just seems your explanation is so plausible but it just seems that the way it's going about that it's going to take because five years into this grant and that if it's already embedded and you already have learned all that basics then shouldn't it be more simplistic in the how we agreed and and and renew or update the program instead of having to wait five years or go through a five-year program or five-year grant. Couldn't that grant money be used for something probably I don't know. I'm I'm not a teacher but it doesn't seem it seems very I don't like we're duplicating efforts or we're just spending money to spend money or I don't know. I would say that the reading process is a very complex process.
Sorry about that. >> Thank you. Um sen may I also clarify? Um the the deputy positions the individuals that are um in that position are uh appointed yearly. So it is a temporary position that it is renewed every year on their form five. So you're just going to continue to annually Yes. Okay. So the testimony from the CAS from Maui was like the this this authority is important in cases of emergency. But if you're doing it annually, then that's not that doesn't really classify as an emergency. Uh I'm not sure if the statute specifically um specifically advises >> Her testimony says it's important to keep this in law It is. for emergencies. Uh in in in that one situation that that emergency for the Maui wildfire was important for us to have that flexibility. I I can understand that. But I don't understand is circumventing the legislature by com annually appointing a special project position.
so that the school does not lose the momentum during the transition and like it's more than a resume, right? And the education and all those things. So, what are we going to do to ensure that none of the families, none of the community partnerships loses that momentum, though I know it's during the summer summer break and before the kids come back to school. So, the good news, I'm thrilled for Angie and really this position is is a real need that we have. So, I'm really excited for her to lend her expertise to helping uh in this role, but the Glenwood position is also extremely important. And so, I think that's the advantage we have is that she's not leaving. And so, uh Angie and I have already had discussions about what are the important buckets of work that have to remain, what's important um in characteristics that the new leader has to have, and she'll help navigate those uh partnerships.
In terms of our culture, uh our third quarter academic award assemblies are going to be held on Friday, April 10th throughout the day. We'll celebrate the accomplishments of our students as it relates to academic performance, academic growth, and attendance. Our National Junior Honor Society induction will be open to the community on April 14th at 6:00. You're all invited. We'd love to see you there. Uh I'm sure the kids and the parents would love to see you there, too. If you can make it, that's a great great opportunity for you to mix with the community as representatives of the corporation. Uh in terms of the community itself, I'm sure you saw the good news. Our PTO has met their requirements to raise $50,000 for a matching grant. That matching grant will be used to purchase an outdoor pavilion learning center and playground equipment behind the middle school.
No, Sprout's not done yet. Jordan just got a little bit left to go. There it is. >> Round one of the first to three going to Jordan. Setting up another T-spin double, setting up a T-spin triple which into another T-spin double. Have you noticed that this is a rather prominent move? There we go. >> 2-0. And there's there's a lot of decisions that have to be made in a very, very, very small amount of time. It's impressive. Yes, all these like setups that you have to memorize with all the like bags and possibilities of blocks that you can start with. And having to actually execute that at this speed with the pressure of the competitor. It's not like you're just against yourself. You've got someone that you're going against but he gets it done. Yeah. In an impressive showing, another cyber tiger punching his ticket to state.
And also, if you have the entire Hollist last name um roster list, you can send that to me, too, and I'll tell them who uh tell you who they are. All right, Raiders working the ball around in the back field. Hartnet grabs it. Look at that. The sun is now shining through. >> DS working the ball around their own net now. >> That's true. >> This is Williams. >> What a nice pass by Williamson. What a save by Amelia H. >> Yeah, Luscow was just right in front. Kind of ran out of space. Same just playing good. Hartnet picks it up. Hartnet quickly passes over to Lynch. Lynch coming from that corner. Pass the Luscow. Luscow looking like she's going to go towards the net. Oh, good defense from Hollston. Just coming right up. That was Dela K and number six, Nora M. But Luscow passes it up to Spalding.
That doesn't answer your question about the five years but you know, in terms of really coming to understand all that goes into how to read, it is a very complex process and there's a lot of different aspects to it in terms of you know, understanding what the sounds mean, putting them together, having the background knowledge to comprehend. Are we making it Are we making it more complicated than it is? I mean, when I learned, you know, See Dick run. See Jane chase Spot. See Spot. I mean, I I don't know. Was it that complicated when when I went to school and and yeah, I learned to read and beyond a you know, a level that allowed me to go to college and get a degree. So, I'm not sure what how complicated are we making this for our kids? Are we reading more into it than we should be or are we trying to you know, get them so confused and then they cannot they don't know how to read?
