Three balls, no strikes to LaRowe. That's a strike. Wasn't swinging there, and it's 3-1. LaRowe to reach base here to let Bradica bat with a couple runners on. 3-1. That's ball four. So, back-to-back two-out base runners for the Clockers. And Bradica will dig in. As a meeting on the mound will occur before Bradica's at bat. He's 1-2 with a double. And he was picked off at second. So, two on and two out. Tying run at the plate. Big opportunity here. They would love another double. They've already got eight of them on the season. O'Brien's ready. Here comes the first pitch. That's a rocket in the right, a base hit. Past the dive of Baker. Connery's on his way to the plate. He will score. Down to third goes Laro. And the Clockers finally get back on the scoreboard. It's four to two. So three straight base runners with two outs.
He loves making things better than how we found them. I'm on the site council meeting and I can tell you that I have never seen anyone more excited about rising attendance and yearly test scores than Justin Bixby is. He takes the opportunity to learn the deficits that come with the come up with solutions to making results better. He focuses on all students and making their time at West Valley productive and positive. I know most of you probably don't personally know him and I know that all of you heard lately are very negative things from some people, but I can assure you that there are so many just like me that have nothing but positive things to say about Justin Bixby. I've seen firsthand uh I've seen firsthand the positive interactions not only with students but faculty at his school and how much he values his time with all of these people.
What the new language clarifies is that the board cannot reconvene in a separate location because there's disruption happening in the public meeting space. You're not able to do that, but you are able to clear the room, make a recess, and then come back and reconvene in the same public space for your public meeting. >> Thank you. Is there a motion? Question. >> I'll second that. >> All those in favor? I.
And that means that if they tell me anything, I can't tell their parents because they still have a right to their own privacy. They're an adult, not an adult, but they have their own privacy protections unless it is that mandated reporting. So I just think it's really important that we prioritize the safety of these children because it's really only going to cause harm. This doesn't affect kids who aren't in a marginalized community and if we take their chance away from coming out to their parents, that's another moment that we've stolen from them. Even if it ends well, we have robbed them of that chance. And I think it's really it's just sad because a lot of kids at a younger age too, they're still figuring things out. I'm still figuring things out as an adult. And so if we push them into a decision that they're not ready to make yet, that they don't feel comfortable to make yet, and then it ends with abuse, that nothing good can come from that.
Um, so that is something that is built in and buffered into all three budget scenarios that are being discussed for September. And there is some relief coming um over the next couple of weeks, provided things stay the way they are. Would anyone else like to um address the board? >> Seeing none, motion. >> Motion to close. >> Motion by Commissioner Brunac, second by Commissioner Ragdale. All in favor? I. Anybody opposed? Okay, moving on. I'm going to ask for a motion to um u move the adoption of minutes from March 17th and March 19th in one. Roll call. Motion to adopt the minutes of March 17th to 19th. >> Second. >> Motion to move both minutes by Commissioner uh Paris and seconded by Commissioner Brunak.
So, um, if you're Joanie, um, you swim in it sometimes. So, you just you just never know. So, um, but so those are expenses. Um, so, um, Power School is big. Um, you know, Harmony is a local Indiana company. Um, all Indiana employees. Um, and and much more reasonable in cost. Um, so looking at next year projecting savings of of right around $42,000. Um, and then the next year that goes up to about $60,000. Um, we can pull that state reporting inhouse. Um, right now we have a contract for that uh with a with a vendor. Um and then we also have to have the administration services for our student information system contracted out um because we don't have the staff. And so um those are things that would be able to go away. We'd be able to pick those things up in house. Um we also talked with FiveStar who is our um technology um contractor you know on engineering and our virtual CTO services.
Um, I'm trying to remember exactly what it is. >> Steph's here, so she can come to the microphone. >> She's gonna be like, "You didn't tell me I might have to go on the mic." >> No, she's not going to hide for long. >> You didn't tell me I'd have to go on the mic. >> Um, uh, CPC, uh, or CPA stuff, I believe, is falling off next year. This is the last payment. Um but I believe um it's just progression as it the payment goes on that the cost has gone down like the maybe it's the interest and principal have gone down. >> Yeah. So the schedule so thanks for correcting me Steph. Next year is when the CPA goes down. This is just the decrease then is just associated with the debt schedule and things being paid off >> I believe. So yeah.
And the bases empty, two away. And now it's first and third for Michael Schreiber is one for one. He's also been hit. And he was clipped again. Clockers have been magnets to the hit by pitches so far this season. And now with in a blink of an eye, four straight men have reached against O'Brien. 20 pitches into his first inning. And now here comes Ian McCoy. He's over one with a walk. He'll take upstairs. Nowhere to put him. A walk could bring in a run. As Ashland trails by two. Here comes a one out. And that's inside. Two balls and no strikes. Clockers looking for a come from behind win. Two balls, no strikes. Here comes three and oh. And Ian will be taking here most likely. Jake Lemay waits on deck. He got Ashland their first run. Just last inning. And it's ball four.
How much of his time he gives up from himself and his family to show up for kids other than his own. I hope that tonight you take the time and to truly listen to the community that supports him because I can assure you men as caring and as dedicated as Justin Bixby are becoming harder and harder to find. And we would be so lucky to continue having him involved with our kids and our kids' lives at West Valley. [applause] >> Hello board. Thank you for having me. I'm also here to speak on behalf of Justin Bixby. Hello, my name is Treyu. I was a graduate of the 2025 class in West Valley. Justin Bixby was one of my wrestling coaches for all four years of high school. And he was also one of my favorite and most inspiring coaches I've ever had the pleasure of having.
>> Any opposed? Seeing none, that passes. All right. Next up is item B1. CSEA collecting bargaining collective bargaining agreement. >> It is recommended the board accept the certified disclosure of the California School Employees Association chapter 364 CSCA collective bargaining agreement from the Santa Clara County Office of Education. >> Move. Go ahead. >> I'll move to accept the certified disclosure for CSEA. I'll second that. >> All those in favor? >> I. Great. Next up is B2, Teamsters Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is recommended the board accept the certified disclosure of the Teamsters Local 150 collective bargaining agreement from the Santa Clara County Office of Education. >> Move to accept the certified disclosure of of Team Service Local 150. >> I'll second that. All those in favor? I I >> Great. Right. Next is B3. Um resolution uni unanimous written consent. It is recommended the board adopt resolution unanimous written consent and approve the SBA first amendment to the communication site lease agreement to include six additional successive renewal terms of 5 years.
And if we want them to have that genuine moment with their family where they do get that support when they come out in a safe space, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen. And I think it's really important to know that they're always hearing things in the world about how terrible of people they are right now and that's just not the case. And if we take a minute to realize why so many gender non-conforming and trans students have mental health issues, it's not because of the gender dysphoria, it's actually because of the abuse and the harassment that they experience on a daily basis. And in the DSM-5 and ICD-10 code and American Psychological Association, gender identity is not a mental health disorder. Gender dysphoria is a component of that, but it does not mean that it's something that needs to be pathologized, but unfortunately a lot of people do that.
Any discussion? Any changes? Any concerns? Roll. Roll call. >> Mr. Brunzak. >> Yes. >> Mr. Kenova? >> Yes. >> Miss Estri Barnes? >> Yes. >> Mr. Paris? >> Yes. >> Mr. Ragdale? >> Yes. >> Mr. Ciano? >> Yes. >> Miss Suarez? >> Um, yes. abstain on March uh 17 minutes. >> Vice President Santiago, >> yes. >> President Baser, >> yes. >> Motion carries. >> Thank you. Uh we come to the superintendent report. >> Thank you, Madame President. Good evening, uh members of the board of education and the one Clifton community. Uh it's an honor to be here with you tonight. Uh I did have a 25minute superintendent report planned tonight, but I am going to seed my time because uh through no fault of her own, we did have a five-minute presentation planned for autism awareness month that for some reason I take responsibility did not make it to the agenda.
Um just when did we have that meeting Sam? Was that Monday? >> For what? >> Yeah. And they they were like absolutely smart choice for your district. I mean, from a from a size-wise um district, you know, um and a staff wa um perspective, but also just financially. And so, um so you you guys will have that recommendation uh on Monday um to make that switch. Um we've already notified P school pending board approval because there there's obviously a pretty significant um back a lot of backend work that goes into that. Um all of our data um our student data that's archived is in there. And so we've got to migrate all that stuff. Um, and then we've also got to be ready to we've got to it's tough because you got to finish state reporting, which you can't do until July 1, and then you have to be ready to start school August 1.
>> So I know I know that we still have some of um Mendes school to bond right. So that number is not included yet or it is >> I don't believe so. No, >> that is it. It is not included yet. >> Okay. >> So is that then a number that gets adjusted at fall town meeting? >> It would not be um it would actually be done for the 28 budget because our first payment would not be. >> Okay. So the first payment would be >> so then there so there'll be no increase in uh property tax bills uh based on the increase in the debt exclusion or the number for the mind bonding that because that will happen in FY28. >> Correct. will go out to borrow for that in October of this year, but the payment won't be uh won't be seen on people's taxes until the next year.
A bases loaded walk will force in Laro from third. It's a one run game here in the fifth. And it looks like Holliston will head to the bullpen. Jake Lemay will see a new arm. With the bases loaded and two outs in a one run game. Don't see a number 17 on this Holliston roster. So forgive me for not knowing who's on the mound. Scratch that. It's going to be Ben Rebello on the mound. Took some digging. No stats for him yet this year. So his first appearance. He is inherited inheriting a jam. Lemay will bat with the bases loaded. He's already come through his last time up. Got the Clockers their first run of the game. And here comes the first pitch from Rebello. It's a strike. An eruption from the Holliston bench after the first pitch. Bradica on third, Schreiber on second. McCoy on first.
All through high school, I was a triore athlete with wrestling being the hardest both mentally and physically. Bixby was that one coach that believed in you no matter what if you were willing to put in the time and effort to get better. Even over breaks like spring break or like Thanksgiving break, he would come in take time from away from his own family to come in to help you go over film and do one-on-one sessions with wrestlers to because they wanted to put in the effort to get better and he wanted to watch them grow and get better. As a captain of the team, it was my job to help the young wrestlers get accustomed to the wrestling mentality, but no one could do it as well as Pixby could. He would personally work with the younger wrestlers to make sure they understood the technique and they did never never felt left behind when the rest of the move rest of the room was moving on.
And this is a an existing lease agreement um in our district that's expanding their term. >> Questions or a motion? >> Move to adopt resolution 25-17. >> I'll second that. >> All right. This is a roll call vote for resolution. >> President H. I. >> Trusty Nuin. >> I. >> Trustee Shinasa. Hi. >> Trusty Brewer. I >> Trusty Boak. Hi. >> All right. And the resolution passes. Next up is board policy 3515. It is recommended the board review and approve board policy 3515 campus security for a first reading. Um this updates uh our existing policy based on um the Department of Homeland Security has created a new behavioral threat assessment and management in practice guide that now has to be referenced um in this policy.
Um pretty much that's all I have to say, but I really just hope you guys take that into consideration. >> [applause] >> Thank you. >> Hello, my name's Mikaela. I'm a mom of two. Um, my profession is health care. And I was invited by Val, and I think it's very important to speak on the everybody that just spoke on their behalf. As a parent >> [clears throat] >> Um, so good evening. Thank you um to the board for being here. I recognize it's not an easy position to be in. I'm here tonight in support of the students and in support of the school upholding the policy. When a parent enrolls their child in public school, they're trusting that school provide a safe and supportive environment. For some students, school's the only place where they feel safe enough to be themselves. It's concerning to see efforts to remove that support.
So I'm going to seat my time to our supervisor of special education uh autism programs and ERRI uh Karen Pon DeLeon. uh who's going to uh just take a few minutes to talk about Autism Awareness Month. >> I think it's on now. >> Yes. Okay. So, my name is Karen Bonce. I'm one of the supervisors of special services. I oversee the autism program, ERI programs, among other things. Uh, in honor of April being autism awareness, uh, thank you for giving me a few minutes to speak. I just want to really talk about what autism is, what it looks like, and what we do here as a district. Okay. So, what is autism? Autism is a developmental disability that affects how a person communicates, interacts, and experiences the world around them. It's called a spectrum, as I'm sure you've heard, because every child is different. Some students need more support, some less, but all of our students have unique strengths and needs.
And so so it's a it's a little I'll have a little flashbacks to the military where it's a it'll be a hurry up and then wait and and so um but but uh feel good about that. Appreciate uh the folks from Harmony [snorts] coming in. They've met with us um a few different times now and showing different pieces of it. Um Mr. Beckman will be really pivotal in this. He as a teacher just this school year he was under harmony and so he'll be a great resource for our teachers just on the you know the attendance piece, the grades. Um and then um you know from the office standpoint um there that'll be kind of all hands- on deck. I I had worked in it I had worked in Harmony previously. I've worked in a few different student information systems over the years, but um luckily not a whole lot's changed since my my building level admin days and so I'll be able to help our administrators jump in there.
