Like a mid-50s maybe. >> It's been the most pleasant game that I've done. It's always been windy or rainy or cold. >> That one gets away from Guo, but he'll keep it close enough. Other ball spiked there from Bradica, and it's two and two. >> Great job by Guo keeping that ball in front of him and keeping his eye on it. >> Excellent play. He he saved a run right there for the team. Yeah, and the pair of duo the duo of freshman catchers have both played very well behind the plate as that one's grounded past the mound. Clark will get it and the throw is in time. >> Just in time. >> What a stretch by Laro and that saves a fifth run from scoring. Good job from Clark. I love watching I remember Ollie Laro uh on first base stretching out like that when he was in just single a ball.
That's an outside um consultant who's doing that. She's in phase three of her process. Um and then really she'll be making and presenting some recommendations as well. But, we also put in there the idea there's different things that we've been talking about as a committee, as a curriculum department that we've been doing this current year as well. So, the idea of we did different things with i-Ready this this year. We did different things with decodable texts this year. So, the idea of looking at what we've currently done, looking at the audit and when that's done, what are the other things that she's recommending? And then we would go into that next stop step in the process moving forward. So, that's a quick snapshot of that. Um in the second one, so this one was the one that was connected to MTSS. So, again, this one has 12 different action steps.
Mr. Duer's dedication has created a culture of excellence and meaningful student growth and a lasting impact on our program. Congratulations on your IDSA activity director award. Congratulations. It's like the sound of music in here. What's What's going on? So, long farewell IDs. Yeah. Also, uh with us another special IDSA recognition award is Miss Hanan Mustafa. Miss Mustafa has been the sponsor of our MSA, our Muslim student association at Andrew High School, and exemplifies the spirit of the IDSA, diversity, equity, and inclusion and belonging. For over 19 years, Miss Mustafa has generously volunteered her time to support an average of 75 students that come regularly, creating a safe and affirming space where students can explore their identity, faith, and belonging. Through her leadership, MSA has elevated student voice and fostered reflective dialogue with our school community. At the core of her work, student leaders have grown. They've created professional development and awareness for our staff.
Cool. And with the new accountability model, these will obviously impact how that looks moving forward the school districts across the state. So yeah. Yeah. like that's only if you get screwed back. So, uh and then at the bottom of that then was that list of extra so later on we do that even though it's not that's what I'll ask for your approve on. >> Thank you. All right, we will move into new business. We have a recommendation to approve big bid packages for Southwood Elementary and Southwood Junior High School that we received. Does everybody have a chance to look at those?
Um this makes the appraisal work better uh and and thus the ifies the financing of it. >> Great. So, as far as I'm concerned, um it's just confirming with Lisa that there's no issues about forming a non-conforming lot, which I don't think there are, but we did. >> I did check with town council on that, Madam Chair, and she did say there was no issue being a non-conforming law. >> Okay. And then I think the second thing is just the it's just the ownership. Like I said, it's it's hard for me to till I hear from town council that it's okay for me to sign off on dividing a property that isn't owned by the people presenting it. That's a little weird. I need someone to tell me that that's okay, that I can put my name on that and or or what we need to do, what what we need to have to show us that it's okay for us to put our name on that.
It looked like it was going right into his glove and he pulled his arm back a little bit. Um >> and allow the ball to get out there. Just an illusion from where we're sitting. But >> coming in deep from right field is the second umpire in this game. Walking up to first base. >> Just casually walking. Just an hour late as Merurmlstein takes a strike. So he lost his home plate duties obviously as the home plate umpire lets him know how many outs there are. >> He casually slips in since he's been there all along. >> One and one to Mermlstein. He's 0 for home with a strike out with Bratica on second and Shriber on first. >> Speaking of home runs, Merlstein is the tying run. So, home run could not it at four. >> Price hasn't given up any this season. >> And if anyone was tracking the hits, the no hitter is over after two and two/3.
He was stretching out doing split. So if anybody's going to get his arm out there, his glove out there to get that ball, it's Ollie. And and what a time, you know, thankfully all that practice uh paid off on that one play to get the out. It was very close. Seems like um >> Norin uses a a pitch comp. I know we talked about this a few games ago, but this one this one I'm 90% sure he's got >> something coming out of the ear and attached to a pack on the back. >> It is a wire coming out of the ear and a pack on the back. So that is >> It has to be right. >> Yeah, we I remember. Yeah, you did think that one of the catches have the previous game, but then we determined that maybe not and it really wasn't.
We just put up there that first main one to kind of talk through. So, we're looking when we talk about MTSS or supports for students who are not or struggling in the classroom or might have challenges. It could be academically or it could be socially. Um looking at different pathways in literacy and math, looking at um updated resources that they're using based on the path a child needs. Uh looking at we were able to add some additional resources on the mental health side through an ER team. And how are they supplemental services? How are they creating their caseloads? Um and then looking at different interventionists. So, we have a literacy interventionist and a math interventionist in terms of really supporting phases two and three. So, again, that kind of same process, action steps, staff, resources, timelines, and success. Um the next one was technology. This one is really tied to the long-range technology plan.
And Henan's work has made sure that students feel seen, valued, and respected while strengthening the overall climate of our school. Her unwavering commitment exemplifies the true spirit of the IDSA diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging award. Congratulations, Miss M. I am honored to showcase not one but three IDSA staff recipients this year. Congratulations to all of you and for making Andrew High School so wonderful for our T-Bolts. Thank you. Next up, three Pete, Miss Natalie Orban. She's like Michael Jordan, some of these basketball players. Come on down, Miss Natalie. It is my honor to ne recognize Natalie for first of all the IADA academic allstate recognition. This is the Illinois Athletic Directors Association. It's a new award and this recognition is for a select group of senior athletes across the state who exemplify excellence in both the classroom and on the field. Natalie has demonstrated an excellent commitment to not only her academics, but also while serving countless hours to soccer and cross country.
Any questions or anything on those bid packages? >> Brian or Neil? I don't know if there's anything that you want to Is there anything that you want to >> I I can kind of give a rough Yeah, I can say a couple notes. >> Okay. >> So, I appreciate it. Thank you guys for having me. with YAM. I've met most of you. Um GMP, which is what we're looking at, our executive summary is our guaranteed maximum price for Southwood. I'll just say we're really pleased with how things came in. We're about 1 to 3% variance from the last budgeting did. So, we had a lot of good involvement from potential biders. We've got our our list finalized down and those are the numbers you see here. So, um good participation and pleased with the numbers. Again, I I think we came in at 16 point what were we 16.6 on elementary and 19.8 on the high school.
That that's what's confusing. I'm sure that's just a question for town council and and then that'll be the answer. So, >> so assuming that they gave us that, is everybody like this isn't me officially asking, but like we feel like we're okay with the five lots so that I >> I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. Um, but that's part of the approval not required is that if it meets all the requirements, >> we just >> our approval isn't required except we have to sign off on it for some weird reason. >> Okay, cool. Just wanted to make sure it was >> Yeah. >> All good. >> Yeah. Plan complies and so >> Yeah. >> Thank you. So >> So when's the next meeting? >> Two weeks. >> All right. Give me just one moment. It will be the second week. >> Yeah. >> It is two weeks because this is the odd week.
>> 1-1. Swinging a miss. Murmurine still just trying to catch up to that fast ball. >> Yeah, it's Price. It's >> It's a very impressive fast ball he has. Let's go. >> One ball and two strikes. This is Price's longest inning. >> 19th pitch coming up. >> One, two. That's a ground ball fouled on the first baseline. Sharply hit. >> Yeah, boy. Good. Come on. >> Yeah. P seems to do a really good job, but it gets ahead in the count like this. you know, two strikes, one ball, two balls to be able to, you know, kind of paint the outside edges of that strike zone and get runners to get batters to go for pitches. >> One, two, swing and a miss. An awkward looking swing for Mermcene. He's down for the second time this afternoon. and Price will leave a couple clockers on base, but they do get their first run and first hit of the ball game.
But this one is >> this one. This one is >> see what kind of a difference it makes here. >> Yeah, it's it's interesting for the you know obviously you can't >> like look at signs if you're on second base. It prevents that from happening >> a lot of times teams can you know relay signs from the catcher if you know >> it's a fast ball or off speed coming. It's hard to do that when you've got some earpiece in. >> Right. So, the Clockers will have four, five, and six in the lineup. They went one, two, three in the first. It'll be Merrmlstein, Lame, and Conry. Last time I was here, Merlstein versus Whan came in as a pinch hitter and walked it off with a sack fly. >> Nice. >> First win at home for the Clockers this season. big one. >> Yeah, Merm's a good power hitter.
So, every 3 years we have a long-range technology plan. We are new for a vision. So, we are finishing up the final year. That will be this June. So, we'll start the long-range technology plan and it will kind of work in conjunction with the strategic planning. So, the idea there'll be surveys involved. There'll be um looking at different goal areas, something connected to students, something connected to infrastructure, something connected to staff, and working through the process of these 12 action steps through that. The fourth area, um so this one was again that social-emotional and that experiential learning. So we just were highlighting some of those experiences in terms of the first uh action plan. And so wherever we can write something that's, you know, going somewhere or doing something with authentic audience in the curriculum, we do that. That's kind of like talked about in the resources.
Truly representing the best of what it means to be a student athlete. She balances rigorous coursework, athletic performance, and her leadership skills. You've saw plenty of her this school year as a board. You will see plenty more as she continues to do wonderful things. We are incredibly proud of Natalie and this well-deserved honor. Congratulations. Hold up. There's one more. Natalie also received the IHSA academic allstate team member honorable mention award. Both recognitions very selective for the first one. Natalie and another student from Andrew Kaden were the only two across the southwest suburbs in our state to receive that award for IHSA. As you heard from Dr. Smith, very selective. She earned honorable mention. Again, distinctly honor students who are demonstrate excellence in the classroom as well as their co-curricular involvement. Congratulations to Natalie Orban. We can't wait to see her at Oshkosh doing wonderful things.
So, we're 364 overall. Um got to sit down with uh Kevin and and Dr. and Scott last week and go through some of this and it looks like we're going to recommend um the alternates that you see there. So if you peel those alternates out, got a lot of good value from those ad alternates um that that are also being recommended to be incorporated in the project. So again, happy with the numbers. Thanks for having us. We're we're pleased with everything that came in and and thanks for the partnership and extending to the Southwood projects. Brian, thanks to your team. So I guess I'll close with that.
We pushed it. We're not supposed >> May 14th. >> Yeah. >> Would you be able to have town council do response back? >> Absolutely. So if we can get on the agenda for the 14th um then uh gives everyone time to communicate with town council and get comfort that um this complies it doesn't create any problems that would be >> yeah it's mostly like I said just knowing um if there needs to be some kind of documentation or sign off or or whatever before we before we sign off on it. Um, that's all. >> So, do you want a motion to continue this to two weeks out? >> Uh, yes, please. >> I have a motion that we continue the 37 James Road ANR um to was it May 14th. >> I'll second that. >> All right. Roll call vote. >> Meta Tesmani. I >> Pier.
Four to one after three. >> Yeah, it was that smart pitch there by Price knowing, you know, he's ahead on the count. Batter's protecting the plate. Let's put the ball somewhere out of the zone. That's going to make it very difficult for the batter to hit, especially with his fast ball. um his fast ball's hot enough to get on when it's in the strike zone, but when it's low like that or the outside, it's almost impossible. And that's exactly where he puts it. So, you know, he he's he's got great command and he's also very smart um you know, with his uh pitch placement. >> Yeah. For Price on the season only, he's pitched in four games and totaling 16 innings. So, about four innings on average. So you wonder if things start to unravel as he gets into, you know, not even the later innings, but just as he gets past the first time through the lineup, if guys start to sit on that fast ball.
We got lefty, righty, righty, I think, going up here. So, you know, >> good job of coach mixing things up in the lineup as well. >> Yeah, Mer's a strong kid. He's a power hitter. He could uh anybody in the team could >> get a home run, which the clockers have not done yet this year. I mean, this this field is very tough to hit a home run on. It's a very long field, but even when they've, you know, traveled to other fields that are more reasonable, uh, they, you know, they they're one of the teams that don't have a home run on the season. >> But, but my prediction is if somebody's going to get it, it's going to be Merm. >> Yeah, I think second to that would be Chris Bradica. Two lefties in the lineup. So, watch out if you're parking your car out there in right field.
The second one was connected to service learning. Um, so for that one, as we revise social studies, we have a we have a service learning project starting in preschool and every grade has one. What are we revising or how we're changing that over time? Field trips. We were super excited to be able to bring back elementary field trips this year. Um, and looking to extend that next year to continue. Um, so again, those opportunities for doing things not just in school, but outside of school as well. And then this one we'll flesh through. It'll also talk about responsive classroom that we use in all our elementary schools. It'll talk about um engagement and what are some lessons we're going to create around that social-emotional piece. And then of course, the mental health piece is there as well. So those are a couple quick highlights as it relates to the first four.
