But I have to say the data we're collecting is important and that the teachers are able to use it. Um and that is what I'm talking about when I'm saying we know little Johnny or Sally where they are, what they need to do. We have a way to get them what they need and then we track that and move forward. Um, you know, there's an old expression, if you don't know where you're going, any road will do. So, if you don't have any sense of the data, you we're just teaching, we're teaching, we're teaching the curriculum, but we're never really sure whether or not it's being effective. So, that's something that we've really worked on. And then just in general, positive youth development, helping students understand that, you know, we all make mistakes. Nobody's perfect, but that we have a responsibility to take care of the things that we have to take care of.
We do collect more data than any place I ever been. But I have to say the data we're collecting is important and that the teachers are able to use it. Um and that is what I'm talking about when I'm saying we know little Johnny or Sally where they are, what they need to do. We have a way to get them what they need and then we track that and move forward. Um, you know, there's an old expression, if you don't know where you're going, any road will do.

Nobody's perfect, but that we have a responsibility to take care of the things that we have to take care of.
That would be a goal. Can I ask a question about that? Is Is um is the reason that we have to delay that obviously cuz we want to develop program, but is it budgetary? Is it because we have we've after evaluating kind of the cuts that were made by the Board of Finance, we don't have the right funds in place for that? What I'll share later this evening in the budget presentation will be when we think about the programs that we've we've already moved forward to improve as well as the ones that we know right now that we need to um invest in to sustain the model that currently exists. So, uh those are still strong and remain strong and we don't have potentially more students outplaced. Um we have to do those, which which is an add to where we need to reduce and then on top of that we need to reduce.
Okay. And this is from the California legislative information family code with respect to minors and under 6550 H1. So, these are the persons that could take charge of a child. Person includes an individual, a corporation, a partnership association, a state, or any city, county, city and county, or other public entity or government subdivision or agency, or any other legal entity. This is the problem here, especially. Item two, quote unquote, relative means an adult. Everybody, please listen to this. Relative means an adult who's related to the child by blood, by adoption, or affinity within the fifth degree of kinship. Um That includes, according to our governor, has approved this to include all step parents, all step siblings, and all relatives whose status is preceded by the words great, great-great, or grand, or the spouse of any of the persons specified in this definition if any party to the marriage has been terminated by death or dissolution.
And the whole purpose of this is to allow the principals to do this. Now does the principals have like a little lump sum that they can spend on these projects? I'm not aware that they have a lump sum. Okay, well, you know, that's something that you I should be looking at. Should they have a certain amount, you know, $5,000? I'm not sure. If if a job can be done and they can deal with it instead of going through this whole bureaucracy that you guys have set up. Because it's that's the whole purpose of this to be simplified, standardized pricing, you know? All of this stuff should be worked in and the principals should know about it. But it's not being done and all you're giving us is all this, you know, rhetoric about reasons which I buy into it. So, you know, I'm sorry. This is That's why we have this resolution.
Uh, I am our business unit leader for education uh for McCarthy Building Companies. Our business relationship with CUSD is really to be your builder of choice, but we're also proud community members and also really big advocates of all the work that you're doing in developing new pathways for these students. Uh down the street here in Chandler, we have our workforce training center and uh that's where we train all of the craft workers that we employ on a day-to-day basis. Right now, we employ about 850 full-time craft that do various things from electrical to concrete to building information systems, some modeling, things like that. But it's really cool just to kind of see how all the work that's getting done here transfers into the work that's being done done out there. Uh being being an employer of so many craft professionals and then also a builder in the community, we have a strong sense for the work that's taking place in the community, but also what's coming.
Any questions on the consent agenda? >> No. None. >> No. >> Okay. I'll take a motion. >> I move to approve the cons consent agenda as presented. >> I second. >> All in favor? >> I motion carries five to zero. >> Okay. So, scroll scroll scroll. All right. We have um 10.1 discussion and consideration approval of designated uh J Joe J Combmes representative for EVIT legislation. So >> I would just go ahead and move forward um based on the conversation that took place in the executive session um with this motion and the motion for the for the next agenda item. Oh, okay. Does anybody want to make that motion? >> I move that the governing board designate Dr. Wyman, Miss Julie Stone, and Mr. Scruggum as the board's representatives for negotiations and settlement discussions in Apache Junction at all versus East Valley Institute of Technology CV2025-063885.
For the 2627 school year, we're proposing a modest price increase for paid meals only, increasing the price for lunch by 50 cents to 4.25, and implementing a $2 price for breakfast. Combining breakfast and lunch, we serve over 1 million meals a year to students receiving free or reduced price benefits. This proposal will protect our most val v vulnerable students by not in increasing prices of free or reducedpric meals. The proposed adjustment flips the program from a 4.4% operational loss to a 3.3% operational surplus creating a self-sustain self sustaining financial model. This change is projected to increase total annual revenue by over 430,000, covering the current deficit and providing a stable financial foundation for the program's future. It is a best practice for a child nutrition program to be self-supporting, meaning it generates enough revenue to cover expenses without pulling from the district's general fund. We currently utilize multiple best practices.
>> Again, Jordan, to me, that feels like cheating. Two oneonone. >> Twoon one. Not really. Cuz only one charact cuz what's different about Pythra as opposed to Ice Climbers is only one character can play at a time. So, so, uh, Izzy is currently playing as Mithra, but anytime she wants to, she can press down B and turn into Pyra. So, the two have really two have kind of different moves. Like Mithra is more floaty and has bigger hitboxes, but Pyra is less floaty and has uh tinier hit boxes, but she does a crapload of damage. So Izzy's got to pick and choose what kind of stuff she wants to do. But that just means her mixup game is really good cuz she's got two characters to work with and she's got a lot of moves in those characters as well. Look at that. All right.
Overall, Restart is doing what it was designed to do. Preventive support is the proest the strongest part of the system. Our crisis level responses are low and support and consultation shows staff their ability in themsel. Most importantly, this work is helping us create a safer, more compassionate and supportive environment. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share this work. Even though from afar, I'm incredibly proud of the work going on at Anderson. Oh, we got escape. Get out and then to my slide maybe. All right. Hi. I'm Melissa Bronner. I'm a third grade teacher at Anderson Elementary and I'm here to talk about our set goal two, the academic achievement and growth goal. Um, we want to improve our dibbles and in-class scores, and that's how we progress, monitor, and benchmark our students on the district level here to see how they're progressing. Um, we're going to increase that by 14% for an overall 75%.
>> There is. >> So what is Do you have any idea of what that >> I have a lot of ideas. >> Okay. and and we're still trying to to to flush those out to be honest and I'm not prepared to pro provide that right now but yes we've talked a lot about once so currently so the the buildings themselves right they go through Roberto Tessini in in John's Murray's office um does it make sense especially like the gymnasium or um anywhere that is used for athletics that one individual is responsible for fields athletics and inside the building, if you will, right? The answer is yes. It probably makes good sense. So, what does that look like? I don't know yet. Uh we're bantering a few things around uh to make it cost efficient. Um but we do understand it's going to be pretty significant work.
And, um, funny story, I had a little boy He came into my office. This is the last year. He came and sat in my red chair and I was doing my work and this is a little boy at the beginning of the year who really could not regulate himself and could not admit he did anything wrong. He's sitting in the chair and I said to him, "Hey, what's what's going on?" He said, "I made a bad choice." I said, "You did? What did you what was the wrong problem?" He told me exactly what he did and I said, "Well, you know how it works. We got to fix it, right?" He told me what he thought he should do to fix it. He fixed it. So that's the kind of progress when I'm talking about positive youth development is you know like getting kids to think that they can control a lot of things.

So, I will show all the numbers that go along with that and I just think uh if we're going to engage in something responsibly, uh we want to take our time and do it right uh because then once it's in place, it really has great impact and power moving forward and and we want to be able to do that. Absolutely. Any other questions so far? Yes. Yeah, [clears throat] I just had a quick question. Um I think it was mentioned in another meeting forum when we were talking about this program that it was um tried many years ago and maybe that data is not relevant or accurate, but I don't know if anybody in the district may have information on why you know, documented information on why that wasn't successful at the time and are there any lessons learned that we could use this time going forward?
So, that is the concern that was There were literally hundreds of thousands of people that protested in the enactment of this assembly bill at state capital who wrote in. This was on TV news because of this broad term that somebody just has to fill out this form The current form we have in place is excellent. Michelle, would you speak to the current form that we have in use >> [clears throat] >> or share with me currently what we do? So, the directive now is to use the new new caregiver affidavit. It has to be filled out by a parent or legal parent or guardian. And um if that's on file and that happens, our principals and office managers know to you know, they they would know where that is where that is, where they can access that. And then um >> [clears throat] >> so long as the legal parent or guardian has approved whomever they've put on this affidavit, then that then those children can be released to to that individual.
Any other questions, members? If you're none, thank you. Thank you. All right, we'll move on to the next resolution SR-25 urging state agencies and the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law to collaborate and develop externship opportunities for law students to assist in the comprehensive review and much needed review and update of the Hawaii administrative rules. Um we have first up to testify the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women. There you are, patiently waiting. Thank you so much. Good afternoon. Yasmin Chiny for the Commission on the Status of Women. Uh we stand on our written testimony in support of this resolution as administrative rules shape the implementation of laws and policies that directly affect gender equity, inclusion, and access to resources. We thank the committee for their consideration and support. Thank you very much. That's all the testimony we have received on this measure.
And so as we look to one of the questions that we were asked of today is how can you help the district? What are some of the relationships that exist that we can leverage to help move your your pathways forward? And that's one of the things I think about is just being in the community, understanding the work that's taking place. Being able to see what's out in front of us can really help can really help identify the programs that you want to instill within your schools. Maybe what some of that tooling looks like, what some of those pieces of equipment look like, and and how we can how we can help identify those opportunities. Uh we we do all of that just recognizing that the passion that that our people build with that we get to train and teach on a day-to-day basis, that passion starts with what we are seeing here today.
>> I second. >> All in favor? I >> I motion carries five to zero. >> Somehow >> Thank you for making that motion, >> Judy. Somehow that didn't get to us for the updated. >> I winged it. Hopefully it was okay. No, it's okay. >> It's okay. I'm just letting you know. I don't know how. Yeah. Okay. So, then we have um 10.2 2 discussions consideration of approval to confirm the instructions given to executive se given in executive session. I move that the governing board confirm the direction provided in executive session to the board's designated representatives as a mentioned for purposes of negotiations, settlement discussions, and contract discussions in Apache Junction at all the East Valley Institute of Technology CV 2025-063885. >> I second. All in favor? I >> I motion carries 5 to zero. >> All right. Um 10.3 discussion and consideration or approval of agreement for clinical practum with uh Northern Arizona University.
We implement aggressive cost controls through food management like using meal cycles and bulk purchases when possible, maximizing the USDA food commodities and the DoD fresh fruits and vegetables program. We use cooperative purchasing groups like Aspen Mojave, and we also monitor our labor efficiency uh by meals per labor hour. As we design our new schools, we're also investing in infrastructure that is more efficient and time-saving. The recommendation increased lunch to $425 and breakfast to $2 as a targeted databacked adjustment to ensure the long-term financial health and continued quality of our vital school meal program without impacting students in need. Tonight's work study is meant for information about the child nutrition program and projected budget will bring recommended action to a future board meeting. I wanted to share more context uh with the revenue we receive from federal and state government um compared to the amount we charge our full pay for non-eligible students.
>> Seems very fast, Jordan. >> It is very fast. That's a that's definitely a good thing to uh for a Cyber Tiger. You got to keep up with the match. You know, the game's moving and you got to be moving with it. You don't want to get run over. >> Do you want to have a character that's faster or a character that's stronger and more more powerful to deliver that high level of damage? >> It all depends on the character you're playing against. If you're playing against a character that's fast, you would probably want a fast character to keep up with them. But if there's someone really strong, then you'll want to then you're going to want a strong character to hit him. >> A big win there. >> A big win for Izzy. Terry >> Purdue. Down to one stock. >> Down to one stock.
