No, thank you. Okay. And I'll share some things that Janine had recommend that we do possibly. And again, I don't know. This could be perfectly good, but if you want things to be consistent, you got to have it in some type of standard, some type of procedure. [clears throat] And so, but again, I don't want to make this a religious No, there's That's not my point here. But again, those are times when the grieving opportunity lends itself, those are times where the board should should be there. Were those ideas that you came up with, or how did you get those? Yeah, cuz I remember I think you sent out an email saying, "Do we have any ideas on that?" So I submitted some. Yeah, I sent that email when this first transpired. I said, "Hey, you know >> [clears throat] >> and I started looking up things and and and different services just for me being behind this in many capacities, different services do things different.
At community day um last in March we made $224. At another basketball game in baby what? No. In two days. Oh the baseball game and yeah and on Thursday we have a baseball game. And the total raised is Oh to be determined is our total. Sorry. And our total raised is $1,044. Account total is $6,000. >> [clears throat] >> Um some accomplishments we made this year as a class was the homecoming parade float. we made that and it was pretty quick, but we made it in time. There's a picture right there with everybody in there. Uh I think that same week we had a Super Smash Bros. tournament and the student who won is sitting right there. Cole Wilson. Um he got Legos for that. Um we also built the Choke Oidak um with Joaquin. Yep. Yeah. Um the Choke Oidak was something we had planned for a while.
Right? So in all of these areas we are showing as low or very low in spending. This page we are we're working uh transfer we had the same issue last year in FY24. It shows as very high and there is a discrepancy in our route miles. So, we are working right now with the Department of Education and their transportation department to um to rectify some of these miles. We've lost some miles as far as as there have there are some reporting errors um that we're trying to uh we are trying to work on correcting. And so, u Mr. Benardino and um Miss Denny and Miss Ryder in the transportation department are all working really well with Department of Education to figure out where those discrepancies are and correct that so that hopefully we can see this. So this is not an accurate report um on the spending.

So, if we could have our Colts of the month please come forward for a group picture, and then if they can remain here while we um recognize some Colts and more achievements from our staff.
>> Sure. And this was an opportunity for they In this particular case at the funeral, they call people who had a resolution, they were specific, had a written resolution to come up and please read it. And then I There's been other places where if you're not If you don't contact the family beforehand, knowing that you're going to do a resolution, you cannot give one. So, I said worst case scenario, if we did have a resolution, I'll And we're not able to read it out, I'll just be able to give it to, I believe, the father. Mhm. I'm sorry, what is a resolution? Like cuz I think of when I think of a resolution, I'm thinking like, oh, you like a policy resolution. So, I'm not understanding. >> so, uh I smile because I know some people got mad upset with me when I didn't want to do the resolution when it came to the uh the immigrants who were coming over.
Um a lot of kids showed up that day. It was March 20th, the community day. That morning we showed up and Joaquin had showed us how to use all of the tools and what we were going to do. He also showed us how to plant and and yeah. Uh there's a video of everyone there. It was a mix of different grades, but there were a lot of kids who showed up. They really participated and we got it done in that day. I think we got it done earlier than expected. Um we had got eaten food after and everybody was cooling off before community day. That day was fun. This week's [clears throat] spirit week was called the favorite spirit week. Oh, it's next week. Next week was the fav- favorite spirit week. We planned this just last week. There's different things for each day. Um Monday is band or artist shirt.
The way it's reported is showing is very high. Um but we are not the way that we actually have it on our side. We just need to see where that discrepancy is so that we can show that that we're actually a much lower as far as our spending in that area. Um, at the last board meeting, Mr. Merrill, you had asked about some of the spending we have for transportation. Um, and so you can see a comparison and this is just one, this part is not on the on the state uh the auditor general's website. Um, this is just one that we pulled from our own counting system. Um so last year in supplies 370,000 approximately and as of right now um as of today 238,000 is where we're sitting in supplies and then total spending last year in transportation was 1.2 million and we're we're closing in on 900,000.

Um and basically, I because we had a policy, I felt like the resolution was useless because we already had a policy stating, this is what we're doing. And it's just kind of like a goodwill gesture to state, you know. >> It is. It is. It's It's you acknowledging and sharing with the family that it's resolving, you know, the love of your loss. We're acknowledging and we're just sharing [clears throat] with you as a family that we're you know, here for you and things like that. So, your loved one is is gone. That's something they do in the churches' life. Okay, so it is a religious thing. No. >> No, not necessarily. Not really cuz a resolution can be any resolution. No, no, no, I know that, but I'm just cuz it's not something that has ever been done in the religion where I am from.
Tuesday is sports team {slash} jersey. Wednesday is your favorite hat. Thursday is your favorite movie or TV show. And Friday is your favorite outfit. And those who participate in the spirit week will receive a sticker. Three. >> [applause] >> These are the last stickers that were made. >> [clears throat] >> Uh I think this is future goals for 2026-2027 school year. Next year we will be senior or juniors. We will be juniors. We do plan to try and fundraise outside of school as rodeo day, swap meet, or you know, etc. Uh we also want to try and plan a class day trip. Uh hiking, movies, something like that that the students would want to do. Um we're also planning prom next year. So, we're excited for that. And Um we also plan to try and do a community service project. Um like picking up trash for a day, or going to the nursing home and helping them, or reading, or singing, dancing.
So we're really close to where we were last year in spending. >> Do they have charts that show the difference? >> They do. Yeah, there is a there is more um there is more broken down. There's actually it's um is a different report that they have where it breaks it down by route and you can actually see where those are and I could I can look for that information and pull it if if you're interested in seeing that just to see where the and we because we do have those route miles. Um the discrepancy that we're having is there was a there's a discrepancy between the ending miles in um FY24 and then the beginning miles in FY23 and you know in the in last year's miles. And so as they started digging into it, they realized there could it could it's potentially going further back.
She goes above and beyond to support her peers as well as the students she works with. Michelle also brings immense positivity to our school. She builds strong relationships with students, parents, families, and staff. We are so proud of Michelle for representing our school along with Mrs. Gladisa at the Amado Chili Cook-Off. Michelle's chili beans WON FIRST PLACE. MRS. GLADISA GOES above and beyond for Continental. We are so lucky to have her on our team. Congratulations, Michelle. And then one more picture. Ready? Say "cheese". Good job. All right, with that we will take a short break. If you guys want to grab a cookie to go or hang out with us for another half hour or so, be our guest. What? Properly. Nice to see you. >> I think so. All right, let's get on with it. Time for the consent agenda. Anybody have any comments on it before we go into the I'll read them all.
So, this is this is why I'm asking. And that'll be a good point. That's No, no, I was just asking for clarification, like I'd never heard of a resolution. I only thought they were done legally or procedurally, but this doesn't seem like it has a legal or a procedural component to it. So, that's why I'm asking. >> That's why I want to filter and and vet it out to make sure that we're not doing anything, we're not crossing any line. Because I think, matter of fact, I think Principal Hollyfield he's a pastor of a church. Uh-huh. >> And he kind of he kind of read the resolution from his church. But he kind of brought in and wrote in the district, too. >> Mhm. I think that's how he did it. Yeah, he kind of wrote and, you know, I'm I'm such and such from my church and I'm here to represent, too, Creek Monroe School to a One U.
Something like that. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Awesome. Thank you, Aisha, and um Leah? Sorry. And Mr. Acuña, appreciate the presentation. Moving on, number four this evening, it's going to be our Amazing Shake presentation, Miss Peggy Lewis. Good evening, families. If I could have our three Amazing Shake participants come over here. I have Gavin Meza Toro, Gary Condi, and Bethany Robles. So, our three students >> [applause] >> They went to Atlanta, Georgia to go compete in the Amazing Shake competition. They were three out of 517 participants, and they were the only students from Arizona to participate in this event. >> [applause] >> So, we made this video to show our appreciation, and our students wanted to thank um our especially our families to thank you, parents, for letting us and trusting us to take your kids with us. That was a a long ways, and to get on a plane for their first time, well, some of them for the first time.
And so now they're doing a deep dive into all of the miles since 2022 that have been traveled to make sure things are aligned and make sure that all of our reporting is correct. So they look back at the logs um that the bus drivers are keeping making sure that they match to the reports that we have. And so there's a there's a bit involved in that. And so it takes a little bit of time, but they're doing some really great work. This uh this next one is actually showing um this is going to be our um comparison to FY24 in our spending. And so you'll take a you can see on this one this will every area. Um, so starting from classroom spending and instruction, student support and instructional support, um, how many dollars were spent um, our pupil per student dollars were spent in FY24 compared to FY25.
A lot of stuff on there. I think we've already talked to you. I'll motion that we approve the consent agenda. I'll second that. >> Ms. Peters? Yes. Ms. Ramirez? Yes. Mr. McGiven? Yes. Mr. Osterman and I make it. And that takes us right to number 10, new business. First one is to approve the extension of Superintendent Rigo's contract as discussed in last month's executive session meeting in Washington. I'll make a motion to approve the extension of Superintendent Rigo's contract. I'll second. Ms. Ramirez? Yes. Ms. Peters? Yes. Mr. Osterley? Yes. Mr. McGiven? Yes. All right. Next is to approve the sewing club's increase of their fee as doubled from $5 to 10. I'll make a motion to increase the fee to $10. I'll second. And that takes us to approve the uh do insurance. We have Oh, we didn't vote. Just trying to Ms. Ramirez? Yes.
He mentioned Dr. Dr. Cogdill's name, Dr. Perkins' name and said, "On behalf of da da da da da uh be it resolved um that I'm I'm Just so we're clear, that seemed I don't I'm not Look, that seems like a conflation than of Yeah, and like I said, uh again >> questioning like and we can do that. Like I I just want to know how that works legally for separation issue issues. >> Sure. And this is again, that's why I'm putting it out, make sure it's legal, make sure it's not offending anybody because if if this is something that that if we do it, I want to I want everybody to feel comfortable. I want it to be a consensus. I mean, unanimous, okay? And I I definitely respect everybody's opinion on this. And if nothing else or whatever, if I feel from a religious point, if I feel strongly on it, I would do it on behalf of me.
And thank you to their teacher, Miss Hiloa, for making sure that they were ready as well. If you go in her classroom, you can see the high engagement in her class. And they're they're cheering, they're singing, they're moving around, and that prepared them for this event. And thank you to our superintendent, Ruben Diaz, for preparing them for one of the competitions that you will see in the video. So, if you can play the video, thank you. Our students are here. They will cheer for you as if they have won. Because tonight, when you think about winning, I think we've all kind of won. >> That is Ron Clark. Winning at school, winning doing no homework. We're all here together. I think that is beautiful. We've already won. Overall, just the confidence and the style of the school. And what I've learned back to the school is just showing that you always don't have to be courageous.
And so that right hand column will show you that one-year change. Um, and so you can see where we have either decreased or increased in those um, in that spending. Um and if you take a look at that bottom, so on the bottom you'll see that total per student spending between both um between both classroom non-classroom and then total operational um total operational spending per student. This is our FY25 operational versus nonoperational spending just so that you can see a comparison between our local districts. So you can see the spending differences between Blue Ridge, Xolo, Snowflake, and then the state of Arizona. And so I mean as far as the non-operational spending um I mean lower than lower than Arizona very close um to the state of Arizona and operational spending averages um and then lower much lower than the state of Arizona nonoperational spending.
Ms. Peters? Yes. Mr. McGiven? Yes. Mr. Osterman and I make it. Now we can talk about the employment of Mr. Greg Wilson. Mr. Greg will give us a little color before we move on. So, our health insurance is going to have a 4% increase next year. Um our provider has made They were doing 4, 6, and 8% increases depending on your your performance over the previous year. So, we were in that group that got the lowest of the increases. Um vision uh dental life insurance, those are all under contracts for the price of the lot. So, there was no increase in there. So, it was just a slight 4% increase within health care. And then, how many years is that 4% for? Just It just went up 4% last year and last year. Any other discussion? We've had a very small increase for the last couple of years, too.
