Uh-huh. of their of anybody Sure. So 4% of assuming any hour day is like it was 28 minutes. Uh-huh. Yeah. track Yeah. So I wanted to say that again it's all about intent and purpose, right? This section was to show that there's a cost allocation to it and I know I hear a lot of conversation and we experience a lot of conversation around the central office and what's done and and what we pay for and those types of things. I think the total cost of the central office in the Pelham budget is probably less than $10,000. However, you get a fully functional full-time central office. We do not sit down and say like FTE doesn't include hours worked and so that's the purpose of that section. If you're asking us to then if you're asking me to identify split employees and have them cost out or or track out how much they work per per per district that then opens up a different conversation.
2022 to 2023, ESSER money again, not a full-time position. 23-24, it was a a 0.6 FTE, so it wasn't a full-time position there as well, too. 24-25 was 0.6 FTE, not a full-time, but partly there. 25-26 this year, um we moved it to a full-time FTE position. Um that was a change. That's the first time that had that change making the full-time position decision I made. But looking at this in 26-27, we're bringing that back down to a 0.5. So, I just want you to know a little bit of history of the adjustment counselor. Last year was the first year that it [clears throat] was a full-time position. Um It was funded with a grant and it was full-time during ESSER. ESSER. Yeah. Oh, right. Right. Yeah, speaking of the ESSER grant funded. Yeah. Um so, this would also um cut the the instrumental teacher that's there.
So, I'm also going to be uh doing that also. So, I think that helps K. It gives us more visibility, a little bit more influence on some of those issues. So, I'm thrilled to be able to do that. And finally, I I'll remind the board members and for the newer board members that the uh we do march in the Memorial Day parade that is coming up in um in May. and uh our our reps also uh anyone that would like to march on that day just remember uh that's my last Monday of of the monkey.
the first one. >> Nothing about the five minutes. >> Five minutes. >> That's what we were talking about earlier. I wonder what's going on. >> And it's also big like olive. right now the school don't hear that teacher. >> It's a teacher. I hear things and then the family that's >> well I think we're continuing obviously to do I mean we've had such a huge focus on >> yeah that's you know even kind creating a culture of community. I think that imped sometimes. I mean it depends on sometimes I'll go with meeting or whatever and Magnolia's opening school year and the principal had the staff in a circle, you know, so we hearing one another I work with is our PBS And you know what? >> I was going to say >> we do. So I mean I think >> social vulnerable or nonvulnerable question the honest question of the room like very >> another way to even if it's not safe to communicate with >> well just to prepare you ances, >> you know.
Any no votes or reservations? Hearing none, the measure is adopted. Okay. Thank you. Next up is HB 2314. Modernizes Hawaii's emergency medical service laws to align with current best practices. Uh, recommendation here is to pass as is. Questions or concerns? If not, Vice Chair. On HB 23 14 HD2 SD1 recommendation to pass as is. Any no votes or reservations?
Armstrong but with your vote you just approved our new principal Faith Orr for Cortina Elementary School. So Mr. Armstrong. Yes thank you Mr. Lotzenhiser, President Wade, members of the board. Like Mr. Lotzenhiser just said we approved Mrs. Faith Orr who will be the new principal at Cortina Elementary. She is coming to us with over 20 plus years of experience. She has served as a teacher in multiple grade levels, as a principal, and she's currently serving as a principal in a neighboring district. So, we're super excited to have her come on over, and I'm going to take a minute to invite Mrs. Orr to come up to the mic and say a few words. Okay. First task successful. Thank you. Well, good evening, President Wade and members of the board. My name's Faith Orr, and it's a delight and an honor to get to uh move over to the Higley Unified District and to serve your students, staff, family members, and community.
Hi, I'm Isaac Salazar and I'm in seventh grade. First, we brainstormed ideas and then we created a Google form where we had our student body vote. This is the result of our voting and then we narrowed it down to a top five choices. One of our top five choices was the upgrade court. Um what comes in these upgrade courts is upgraded hoops, new basketballs and new balls like that and upgraded storage. Second out of our three options were the additional misting fans. We already have eight on campus and we would add two more. Option number three was to upgrade the was to add a new shade umbrella. The idea was to add additional shade for the students when it gets hot. On voting day, we promoted it with posters and did an announcement at our pep assembly. Um we everyone voted in their social studies classes and almost 1,000 students voted.
I don't think any of the three districts want us to go to which is hourly All right, like it would end up being that you would end up paying us hourly and it would be more than what it is that is truly allocated. So, the statement was really to bring in to to perspective the fact that the central office especially the split employees actually it's it's a it's a service model. It's a shared service model where we are supporting all three districts. And I think like and and and these and these and this is what the FTE equals, but the FTE does not translate into hours worked and and and what we actually put forward to serve and run the districts. And I think Jenny wants to add to your question, Rachel. That's your hand. Um yeah, I think it's not only would it be like extraordinarily difficult to try to track that down to the hour, but I also think based on my observation and it it's the central office has to be extremely responsive.
It would stay at Berlin. The 0.4 remaining would stay at Berlin. Um this is again something that's an extra. It's we're not mandated to provide this, so you know, we have to start thinking about where we mandate to cover what covers our core items, um the needs of all students. Uh instructional technology. >> Sorry. No, I'm so sorry. I apologize. The band teacher is so one of the things we'll be looking at in Boylston is that people can still have that opportunity. We'll be looking to see if that's opportunity can happen either before school, after school, where they can take instrument lessons as well, too. So, we're not putting it on We're not taking it away. Just taking away during the day. We'd have to be looking at how that could be provided. Like I said, >> are costs associated with >> provided like that.
So those are the things that I have any questions for me on anything that I just mentioned. >> Sure. >> Did we get a response on the letter sent to something? >> I have not. Yes. Thank you. I I am I am going to press that matter a little bit more. >> I believe you CC. I did I did send it to you folks and um I am hoping that the first select I made a phone call to the first select to see if you can get that moving. >> Okay. >> Thank you for that question. Yep. >> Any other questions? >> Okay.
This is just the Lapistic one particular question. And then you can ask a question. >> Yes. And then you get to see what the actual sound like. >> How about allergy? Yeah, >> you guys. over here. Yeah. They're going to move. >> Careful, please. muscles to pull the chair out for high school. >> I know for the student I feel safe at school >> and so and all of the home that students came over to the high school. All of them are introduced. No no we are not done. >> Yes. So 68% of our students indicate compared to huge. >> All right. Are you ready for the So the first group you learn the process, right? >> And so we're going to go first we're going to look at student data and then family and then staff. So as we go through each one of the students here's a copy of the question and we're going to start off with responding to the survey >> student or you can just look right up here whatever You know what?
Hearing none, the measure is adopted. Thank you. Next up is HB 2324. This repeals the requirement that the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations regulate hoisting machines and certify their operators and the Hoisting Machine Operators Advisory Board. Uh, the recommendation on this one Uh, is to defer it. The companion SB 3144 is already to the full house and is scheduled for tomorrow, I believe. Uh, next up is HB 2413. This requires release on recognizance for defendants charged with violations, traffic offenses, non-violent petty non-violent misdemeanors, non-violent class C felonies subject to conditions. Uh, recommendation here is to pass it with uh several amendments. Uh, there is a bad date on it, which we will leave for further discussion. Uh, proposed amendments are to define violent use Looks I'm sorry. That's correct. Yes. We'll define violent. We'll use the definition we used for the immigration bill, um, violent crime that we used for the immigration bill a week or so ago.
I'm just so excited and I'm looking forward to my time here. Um I will let you know I'm going to give it my absolute best. I'm really um upcoming something that I'm looking forward to is an opportunity to connect with families and students and staff. I think it's next week sometime, Mr. Armstrong. So, um just looking forward to immersing myself in the community. Um was really excited to see there's already a cheerleading squad that's that's ready here at Cortina, and I I just really wanted to just also commend you all on the way that you honor students as well as just take the time to really recognize the staff and those heartfelt gestures that uh your teams did really speaks high volumes of what you value as important here in the school district. And so, um I'm going to get on board and uh in in light of student success and what's best for kids, I'm really looking forward to serving and I I thank you for this opportunity, and um it's it's a it's a pleasure.
The winner out of the five choices was the up outdoor court upgrades and some of the items have already been delivered to the school. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Thank you so much to President Wade, HUSD cabinet and our governing board. Go Spartans. >> [applause] >> Hi, thank you everyone for coming and staying around. My name is Jacob Reynolds. I am an 11th grader at Higley High School. Hi, my name is Chaney Chase and I am a senior at Higley High School. All right, so to start off, we started off with our idea collections. So um for our SPB committee, we pulled from our members of NHS um but people that were involved in all different aspects around Higley. So me personally, I'm involved in things like theater and choir and then we had people from StuCo, we had people from band just so we could have a large lens on what we needed in our school.
So, it's also not like a snapshot in time answer. Like there are some months where Pelham is going to require significantly more and other months where we may require significantly less and it's very situation dependent. So, I think maybe a way of sort of doing the financial analysis would be to look at if we were to try to have our own administration for Pelham, what positions would we need to have in place and what might that look like? How how might we have to like figure out the costs for having the equivalent positions in place for us. I think that might be an easier and sort of more practical way of thinking about um what we would you know, what we would end up paying if we didn't have a shared central administration. William? I was just going to say that I don't think of it as FTE and I think that's looking at it wrong cuz I don't think Pelham saying that Pelham only pays for 4% of your time I think is wrong.
They would not be That's right. We would We would provide People would have to pay for it. Yeah. So, we could provide the space, but not the And a lot of people a lot of communities do that, right? Before school, after school. We don't pay for it, but people can take those lessons and have those provided through uh a private fund. But so, there would be no more band at B S. >> That's correct. So, um moving on, instructional technology. This is a lot most of our money to repair and replace Chromebooks, devices, uh laptops, projectors, you name it when they're damaged or break. If at some point we run out of devices, we will just not be a one-to-one school. We'll have to figure out how we operate um as something other than a one-to-one school. There'll have to be some degree of sharing.
Hearing none, we'll move to the superintendent's uh corner. Super. Thank you, Mr. Daniels. It's good to see everyone. I thank Mr. Pipo, Dr. Kidwell, Mr. Moore, and our director of athletics and supervisor of health and physical education, Mr. win for coming this evening to present on athletics. There's a as always there's a lot happening here in the the camp public schools relative to student activities and specifically last two weeks ago now and I'm sure the the gentleman will speak about it. We had a terrific CMS drama production and I know Mr. Daniels was able to attend that last night. We had the kickoff to our children, high school students that are going to Disney World Orlando next week and they had a concert last night. I know those students are are looking forward to attending that trip. And then last week we did have a jazz up festival, districtwide jazz festival that the I'm sure the boys will speak about.
That's because >> but you can look up. >> Okay. So we're going to focus on belonging and we're going to start with um the student surveys. In the student surveys, there is a section just on belonging and collaboration. So spectrum starting with high school they have collaboration measures collaborative relationships with their classmates. At the high school they're on a fivepoint scale. So the answer between strongly disagree all the way up to strongly agree area 58 percentile national this is where California is a little bit above that and you can see previous >> right after co we were super high and then we were at school and then you see it's been trending trending upward each year has been kind of good to see anxiety stress >> and then these are the um exact statements that students responded to at the high school in this um area.
Uh, for purposes of this section, violent or violent offense means a crime of violence as defined in section 134-1. And under section 134-1, crime of violence includes any offense under federal or state law or the law of another state in the United States territory. I don't think we need to read that the whole thing. So, that's that's where it is. We'll replace subsection F written findings with oral findings on the record with findings reflected in minutes minute orders as appropriate. I will limit the reconsideration of bail without cause to one time and allow more allow another allow further reconsiderations if there's a change of circumstance or new information. We'll clarify subsection I, so only court may impose sanction or financial conditions under sub under section 804-7.3. Uh, prosecutors, pre-trial officers may only file the application or request. Um, then I'd also like to put in some committee report language explaining that posting bail is no guarantee of appearance and that those on bail commit additional crimes uh, from time to time.
Thank you. >> [applause] [applause] >> Second on this on the approvals that you did uh this time was we approved a new director of finance, Heather Skinner, and I will have Sharon uh talk to her cuz unfortunately, Heather can't be here today. Yes, that's right. Um President Wade, members of the board, uh Heather Skinner, she's actually attending the Tyler Technology Conference, Tyler Connect. Um started this evening and goes through the rest of this week. That is the software that runs our finance and our HR department. So, I'm excited for that for her. Heather has been within Higley for about the last 10 years starting at Bridges as a substitute teacher and then moving over to the district office in 2020 and then working her way up through finance. So, we're really excited to have Heather move up and take the director position. >> [applause] >> Welcome to Higley, Ms.
