So 5-1 record versus 3-3, but um as you said, it should be a pretty good competitive game right now. I think the records keep that out of it. Um excited. Beautiful day out. Kevin, what are your thoughts on what are your expectations for this afternoon this evening? Well, as we talked about, it should be a close game. What's going to come down to the factors that always end up determining it? How do you do on the draw controls? How do you do minimizing your turnovers? Making sure you protect the ball so that you get as many shots as possible. It's it's really pretty basic. That's Maggie McGuinness on the draw for Ashland versus Mary Kate Cronin for Dedham. Ball goes right out of bounds and they're going to call it a red ball for the Red ball. All right, maroon red. So that's Rozlonic, but that is a false start because she threw the ball in from out of bounds.
Throws it over to Kozub. Sargento to Taylor. All the way to the backside. Stackwitz over to Taylor. Over to Sargento. Over to Kozub. Kozub looking to have a 1v1 versus Gianna Byron throwing away. Ball's still loose and Spartans can't come up with it. Avery Morgado temporarily knocking it out. And Minnechaug scores again. Don't know who that was. Sophia Kozub with that goal. Minnechaug up two nothing, 7 minutes left in the first quarter. Spartans yet to even have a shot on net. Ball's up. That's loose. Kozub comes up with it. Once again, Minnechaug has the ball. Sargento with the ball. She's going in. Good knock. That looked good. Close play. Hannah Eddy gets called with over the head. Sargento with the ball to Kozub. Back to Sargento. To Taylor. Minnechaug behind the net. Passes to Kozub. Over to Sargento. Back up top to Stackwitz. Kylie Marino luckily luckily Kylie Marino hit her before uh It's not the call on the way back.
On April 29th, May 1st, May 5th, May 8th, May 12th, and May 14th, students all throughout DOD will go through ESPA testing, an adaptive test, and the perfect chance to showcase what they've learned this year. Students in the seventh grade and eighth grade will both take their respective ELA and math tests, while students in the eighth grade will take the NGSS, while seventh graders will take the practice for it. Practice tests are on Friday, April 17th for ELA and Tuesday, April 21st for math. We encourage students to get a good night's rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school on time with a charged chrome a charged Chromebook. Though it will take a ton of hard work and practice, I'm sure that our DOD students will do just fine in these upcoming assessments. Dod's chapter of the National Junior Honor Society will be making decisions about inducting the upcom or the upcoming eighth graders.
>> Um so we took a tour of some of the issues at the high school. Um do you have or is it possible to give an estimate and how long how much longer we can maintain scaffolding underneath a loading dock to make it safe? to keep it safe. >> To keep it safe, >> I mean, we do six-month inspections on the dunage. So, I think as long as we do that, if the dunage, you know, starts corroding and failing, then that would have to be replaced over time. Um, as I said, you know, when we were doing our walk through, fortunately, I I call it um it's it's not it's a although it's a heavily used loading dock, there's not a lot of load in what we what we do. If we had a tow motor operation or warehouse operation, yeah, that loading dock would be um more critical.
And >> There also was some wars, too. That That was true. Um a few people were like throwing shade. And another thing, I don't know if people know this on market day, you're allowed to announce stuff. So, like you're allowed to be like, "Hey, you know, there's a deal for the about the end of this lunch you get like a dollar off." Like you're allowed to say that. Um but it really just depends. And then also pricing. Um a lot you make sure your prices are good. Yeah. Um a lot of people will upcharge if you don't have a lot. That's what we did. We were selling for like seven for two and then we ended up selling like 13 for one. Like it it got really bad, yeah. Yeah. Um I I'm honestly I'm not sure what the prices are looking like this year, but it's definitely a lot I feel like a lot more affordable than last year.
Because the structure includes formal stairs and invites higher occupancy and frequent use, if the fasteners to the main platform fail, the stairs, which are likely anchored to the ground at the bottom and the tree at the top, will subject to massive tension forces, leading to to collapse um of the means of egress. Fire and electrical safety. The inclusion of electrical wiring necessitates a stable structure platform, and the fastening system is not engineered to handle the tree's growth and movement. The structure can shift and shear the electrical conduit, creating a hidden fire risk or an energized hot structure. Uh the building official finds that the proposed construction is non-prescriptive without a professional engineer's analysis of the fastener shear capacity and the specific hardware's ability to accommodate tree growth and movement. The structural integrity can't be verified, the safety of the occupants are at risk, and the project does not meet the minimum safety standards of the 2015 MRC.
You are correct. Ew. All right, we're back, guys. Who are we here with? Mr. Marshall. Mr. K, do you think you're smarter than a LifeSmarter? Smarter than a LifeSmarter. >> Yes, sure. At what age can you work any job? >> Any job? >> Including like hazardous stuff. Ooh. 18. That is correct. >> Yeah. All right, and we're back [music] with >> Mr. Bill. And the topic of consumer rights. When money is tight, people often use EBT for supplemental nutrition. [music] What? Are you memorizing these questions? >> [laughter] >> A little bit. What government program is EBT under? Can I call it SNAP? Yeah. >> Okay. Good job. Oh, all right. Who are we here with today? Mr. Seaman. Do you think you're smarter than a LifeSmarter? Probably not, no. What is it called when you are given a guarantee that if a product is broken, it will be fixed or replaced?
Russell. >> Thank you, Dr. Long. You do the hearing now, right? Yeah. >> Yes. So this morning's board meeting has been appropriately advertised as a hearing on the superintendent's contract. So I now open this public hearing. Dr. Long's already provided the information. So this is the appropriate time for the members of the public to comment on the superintendent's contract or the information presented this morning. Are there members of the public present who would like to comment? Seeing as there's no public comment, are there any board members who have any comments or questions? You don't want to add any subs? Okay. So, please be aware that there is no board action to be taken I have a question. during the hearing. >> During the hearing. Okay. The board will approve the superintendent's contract at the conclusion of this meeting. I was like, what are we here for?
They consistently find creative and meaningful ways to build relationships, deliver content, and meet students where they are. Approximately 10% of Center Grove High School seniors graduate every year from the Simon Youth Academy, and I truly believe that this success would not be possible without their dedication, compassion, and hard work. So, we appreciate everything you guys do every day. Thank you, ma'am. They are like magic makers in the classroom. It's amazing. Thank you. All right. I'm going to keep going. So, I have the pleasure of introducing our girls basketball team this year, and then Mr. Sekmeyer will talk a little bit about Miss Basketball. So, our Lady Trojans, if you had not seen them play, you which who hasn't, but if you have not witnessed like the journey of their season, um you really missed an adventure. They ended their season 29 and 0, which is the first in school history to ever be undefeated.
Indiana is the only state in the country that has open enrollment vouchers for everybody charters virtual home school at at maximum levels. Other states have some of these partially or whatever. Indiana has it all. You cannot talk about Indiana and enrollment without looking at uh the assumptions of what's going to go happen in transfers. Now, the only good thing that's coming out of that is Indiana has the best student tracking system in the country. Bar none. Um every twice a year they come out with the transcript report where it's going to, where they're coming from. We've got them all the way back 2017. our computers. We assume the district will continue to have a net 550 child transfer. Most [clears throat] school districts [cough] in Indiana have negative numbers in transfers because it includes charters, vouchers, uh homeschool, virtual, things like [clears throat] that. Now, you have been averaging in the 300s and then like all the school districts about two years ago, you jumped about 100.
So that's something that they have to be prepared for to step in and that's a that's a nice start for Ashland even though it was based on a miscue by the Marauders. Yep, you know, both teams very young. Both teams I think only if I have the math right, two seniors on both teams. So um which means when Dedham and Ashland play again next year, should see a very similar roster. So young squads um two seniors for both. There's also different starters in the lineup today due to a school trip that has left three or two or three normal starters out of the game. So we've got some other folks who are in the game who may not normally be at this point, but hopefully they'll they'll rise to the occasion. They've all been playing very well. So, I I don't know that it's a significant drop-off.
My bad. That was shooting space as Minnechaug will be getting an 8-meter attempt. Sargento on the 8-meter. Turns around, takes a shot off the post. Loose ball. East Longmeadow finally gets it. McKegney with the ball. Has room. Kind of has room. She comes back, gets fouled. Spartans working really hard just to get the ball over the restraining line as Gianna Byron gets the ball over the restraining line. Now it's Lucy Parsons turns around and throws the ball in. And once again, Minnechaug comes up with the ball and running down the line. I think the Spartans need to control the ball when they get in the ball into their area. Two quick turnovers and Minnechaug taking their time passing the ball around. Doing a really good job waiting to hit those cutters. Ball up to Sargento. I'll go with a 3-second call. I don't know. Sargento goes in, goes through one, turns around, flicks the ball behind the net to Kozub.
After report cards come out, there will be an invitation to apply um if your grades qualify. The current seventh graders who would like to be in National Junior Honors next year um will have to complete five hours of community service, have a recommendation letter from a teacher at DOD and an extracurricular activity, a leader of an extracurricular activity outside of school if they would like to participate in National Junior Honor Society next year. Um, our eighth grade is very excited this year for the upcoming May or for upcoming May because as May 20th and May 22nd, students in the eighth grade will get to visit Washington DC. Students will get to not just learn about but experience historical monuments such as the Gettysburg National Military Park, the United States Capital Building, as well as many other monuments will be open for students to experience. Our dot eighth graders have put in a ton of work throughout their DOD careers.
U but it'll let you know it's been this way for this is the third year with the dunage in place. So I would anticipate it'll last a few more years, but >> as the clock keeps ticking, it degrades. Yeah, as you visually saw, it's >> it's it kind of it's kind of eye opening when you look at the exposed rebar and that's rusting out and you get obviously you get concerns for what's the what's going on inside the concrete. >> Yeah. And I mean sometimes, you know, it depends on the level of degradation. You can renovate it. You know, they actually route out the areas where the rebar is is, you know, located and they replace it and things like that, but it's just beyond that level of repair. So, it's a it's a as long as we have the dunage underneath it'll stay put, but you know, I think you could probably press two years would be pushing it.
Yeah. Well, last semester it was pretty bad cuz nobody really knew what to do. Like people were charging milkshakes for like six bucks. And like it sounds good, but when you realize it's a little red cup, it's it gets pretty bad. Yeah. You said milkshakes? Oh, I'm sorry, Lucas. Is that Is that What are you selling? Yeah, I feel like market day is going to be a lot more affordable this semester than last semester. Like I'm can't quite remember the prices, but there haven't been any that I was like, "Okay, this is absurd." You know? >> It also I guess it depends on the food, too. Like the better the food, the higher the prices you're going to have. Um but yeah, that's that's a good that's a good take, yeah. Yeah. I agree. >> uh Mr. Ray is the one who like He's the one who arranges it, yeah.
The applicant has submitted structural drawings and testing data from an IAS accredited laboratory. While IAS accredits the facility's ability to perform a test correctly, it does not provide an evaluation report that interprets those results for code compliance. The building official maintains that without a recognized evaluation report, the allowable load of these fasteners remains unverified. Uh under the 2015 MRC section 104.11, alternative materials must be approved by the building official. Section 202, approved means acceptable to the building official. 104.11.1, research reports, explicitly states that supporting data, where necessary to assist in the approval of the materials, shall consist of valid research reports from approved sources. Uh safety factors. An IAS lab report might state that a bolt can bolt broke at a at 10,000 lb. However, an ICC-ES report does the engineering math to tell the inspector this bolt is safe to hold 2,000 lb in a living tree.
A warranty? That's right. He is [music] right. I would high-five you, but I don't think that's >> Yeah, I don't really have many hands available right now. >> It's fine. All right, who should we say like high-five? >> High-five. High-five. Hello, I'm here with Mr. Chisholm. Mr. Chisholm, do you think you're smarter than a LifeSmarter? Probably not, but we'll give it a shot. >> This is in [music] the category of health and safety. This program was created when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Social Security Act in 1965. What is the name of the federal program that provides health insurance to low-income families? Medicaid? Yes. All right, who am I here with? Mrs. Naughton. Mrs. Naughton, do you think you're smarter than a LifeSmarter? Uh maybe, maybe. We got a technology question for you today. Uh-oh, okay. What is the name of a cryptocurrency that isn't Bitcoin?
Okay. So, So, now you can close it. >> So, now I close this hearing. Huh? So, Now, we have an action item. Okay, now we have the action item. I'm sorry. That's what we're here for. >> Yeah. Okay. Now, we have the action item of the approving the superintendent contracts.
And as you know with the schedule that we play, that's tough cuz everyone is coming for us every single time. They of course were the Johnson County champions, the sectional champions, the regional champions, the semi-state champions, and from a come from behind victory in the state championship where Mr. Brunkella and um I were sitting on the sidelines about ready to vomit, they came back from a 13-point deficit to win the state championship. Obviously, all of these wins are fantastic and significant. But I can tell you that the ladies who are here and the ones who aren't are a phenomenal group. Yes, good to see them win. But to me it was more important to see their connection on the court with each other and with their coaches. They held themselves to high standards. They played every game with pride and generally had fun doing it.
And because when they expanded vouchers to everybody, you know, they were already going to private school, but now they're getting state money and now they're showing up in the state data, you know, so it wasn't an increase of number of students or student districts losing kids. It was just they're now being counted. So we're going to hold you at 550. Uh and basically a lot of it's short going to Eastern some Northwest, some going up to Ben. It's just all over the place. >> Now, I had a question on that. Is is that a transfer out of available students in the district or actual [clears throat] current students in the district from year to year? This number is there's 500 there's a net 550 students more transferring out to other educational options and transferring in. So, your actual [clears throat] Your in transfers are public [clears throat] to public last year 265.
