Yeah. There's so many options. See, B or you know, Prairie Crossing actually since February has went up two, and Audubon state exactly the same. So, it's all up in Central. Not uncommon when it comes to school corporations. It usually happens at that level. Um So, then the next slide, um I kind of want to look at these two together. The next two. Okay. Um cuz this next The next page is just kind of talking about, you know, I'm just summarizing what I'm going to talk about. Um so with on this one, actually, when I put in all those projections or whatever, then it all comes out to um how much, you know, projects out with those assumptions um for each year, percentage change and stuff. So, you can see uh the local sources in, you know, 20 fiscal year 29. It says fiscal year, but it's really calendar year.
Hearing none, all those in favor do so signify by saying I. Those opposed, that carries. That carries. Thank you. Thank you. Michelle. Next we will go to the district spotlight with Dr. Hoover. Yeah, so tonight for district spotlight, we have our director of athletics, Joe Herman. Joe is here to talk to us about our athletic program and specifically we're in spring sports. So happy to have Joe for an update. Thank you. President Duckworth, school board, and Dr. Hoover. To today we want to talk a little bit about EVSC athletics and specifically academics in athletics. As you can see we have 20 sports offered for each high school varsity sports, over 1,800 student athletes, 100 plus varsity teams, and over 250 coaches. Right now in the spring we have nine sports going on, baseball, softball, boys track, girls track, boys golf, girls tennis, lacrosse boys and girls, and boys volleyball.
So, just kind of wanted to give you a little bit of an idea of like our uh day-to-day if you divide that out type deal. Um we've also been able to get the corporation 12 new radios, which has allowed the radios to be cycled down. So, the basically to get the newest radio at a place where it's going to survive the longest. And then the cycle kind of goes down from that. We take their radio, goes to the next, to next, to next. So, that was able to fill in some gaps that we had in some places that we needed radios. So, that's been really great get our radios back up and go. Um but yeah, uh we just had a we've had a good year. Um the online enrollment's been really good to us. So, it's made Jared's life a lot easier. I can tell you that.
We'll have transportation provided for them as well. Um and so working with um the teachers um and working with transportation and um the department that that provides meals for us. It's a big team effort. Um, but one of my goals is to be able to provide supports for those families that need that extra support. >> I guess in in hearing all of that, the the question we talked about your goals and what the program looks like, how do we measure the success of multilingual learners in the district? Like what are you tracking? How how do you feel? How when do we know that you've been successful? >> So, they get assessed a lot. All students get assessed a lot. But when >> too much sometimes >> but when we look at um ELLL students they get they get a lot of assessments that measures um how they're doing and and they take something called the tell and that's a a standardized test that they take um in the be beginning of the year and then they take it at the end of the year and that kind of measures beginning of the year um the baseline and then how they um have progressed throughout the year and then um in January they take the access which is um the the mandatory exam that you know we and the state gives us and so they also take that exam and those scores have just you know been released to us and we'll we'll look at that data.
And by this continuous, they uh that by doing the continuous to the 18th, they probably won't want to agree to another one until they have their way and understanding that the soil that you're looking for, the water, it's it's so on and all that that is the contaminants. They probably have to really find somebody who can teach them to bring forth to this committee to understand what's going on and until then the the continuous is is going to be them dragging their feet to have an understanding to the board and to us in the public of what is actually going in their mind. Well, we we have a protocol. We set the protocol, Mark. The Conservation sets the protocol for what we want and what we are reviewing. And that seems to be a little bit of an issue with the applicant. Uh the applicant seems to want to control the narrative.
Orchestra is not just an activity, it's my passion. >> Good evening. My name is Kylie Embo. I have been playing the violin for 2 years. Performing at a professional venue like the Ziterian was an honor, but it also had its challenges. We are used to our classroom where the notes we played sound closer and louder. When performing at the Z, our notes sounded f far farther away, making it more challenging to for challenging to stay together. This affected how I listened to my fellow musicians. I had to focus more on the conductor and watching my peers bows to keep me in rhythm. I now better understand the challenges professional musicians go through in order to perform. Hello, my name is Claire Kelly. I have been playing the cello for two years. I saw the theme of I've Got Your Back reflected in many ways during the concert.
Comes dislodged. Peltier still fighting with it. Peltier is still fighting with it and Peltier gets called with I don't We'll go the warding call. Brownies with the ball. Quick release by the goalie to gets the ball up to Sherres. Sherres gets the ball up to Pazinski. Pazinski in the middle of the field with Crimmins. She gets the ball over to Mahoney. Mahoney gets the ball over the restraining line. Set up the Brownies offense as Larocque temporarily loses it. Larocque Larocque goes in there and yard sale and sticks all sticks flying everywhere. Sticks going on the field. Good job by Avery Morgado to tap that one back to Julia Gray. Julia Gray deep in deep in the Spartans territory. She looks to take off. She gets the ball up to Mac Whitworth. And Mac Whitworth will have plenty of space to take off. She gets the ball up to McKechnie.
Cortez is going to check her and I'll do the final check. I don't think we should be good. I'll be good. Is there anything else on that item? We'll move on to approval of intergovernmental agreements with Pima County JTED. Okay, uh Mr. President, members of the board, uh Pima JTED or the Pima County Joint Technical Education District has submitted its 2016-2017 IGA to Ajo Unified for approval. You have that there as an attachment, I believe. Mr. Alford did review it. Um Ms. Cook, can you pull that up, Angelina? Um okay. Is there Is there a record? Okay, that's the first page. So, that is a standard uh He said it looks good. But, it's included there for you to review as well between now and Wednesday tomorrow. I got his signature sheet today in the mail. Or he signed the original. So, I'll make sure that the Wednesday meeting has that his signature sheet.
I got it. >> Yeah. 1,88,497. So is is the new budget. >> Okay. So like um mentioned earlier tonight, presenting the uh PowerPoint, the presentation for the budget revision on May 6, uh you'll officially approve the the budget forms. And then in June, uh, we'll start this process over again. We'll looking towards fiscal year 27. Right now, um, we're currently analyzing the available funds to see if there's a potential cost of living adjustment that can be added to classified hourly staff for next fiscal year. If you remember, the board um earlier this spring approved the increase um from the uh classroom site fund um bucket of money. Remember that that bucket of money is is a separate bucket of money that the state provides the district. Uh that's based on a 610 sales tax and that is strictly regulated in terms of where you can spend those funds.
It puts it basically creates a dissonance for the staff and a lot of time gets spent not only trying to work on those things but also trying to interpret well without a vote on something that gives us clear direction. What is it that we should interpret from the board's conversations and actions that we should do? And so that actually, you know, from my perspective is something that is very detrimental to actually achieving the outcomes focused goals because all of that lost time, those to me, those are really the whirlwinds. They're the places where there's a lack of clarity um in movement and direction that really distract from the core of the work. And there's no time is a limited currency. So there's no way to restore that once it's used in that way. That time has passed and there's no getting it back. Those kids get one day older every day.
I feel it was it was really like valuable learning about um multiple ways to be part of school whether it's joining different clubs, um making meaningful connections with your teacher and overall just doing your best and being there every single day. And that was a really like valuable experience I got like learning from different people and ideas about how to really feel included in an environment whether it's um going out of your comfort zone and doing different stuff. I feel like that was really fun and I really enjoyed going to ISLC. >> [applause] >> You can go back a slide. Okay, I'm back and I'm going to be talking about basically like a little bit about my perspective of the three things that Sameer talked about. I also learned about different perspectives and just to sum it up, we all had different environments and so of course we all had different opinions where we came from.
Sorry. Um for calendar year 2029, you see it goes down like 500 um thousand dollars. And that is where the um local income tax, you know, so that's going away. So, that's where you see that. Um you know, the increase in the intermediate or state sources, that's that increase. So, basically, once I put in a 2% increase and then a 1% um decline in enrollment, then the actual increase to us was less than a percent, you know, that we would actually get um if that stayed the same. If we actually got a 2% increase from the state and our enrollment only declined 1%. Then we would end up with about 0.75% increase in our basic grant each year. So, that's what that is. Um Then I Like I talked about with the textbook, um you know, the curriculum adoption, if you look under supplies, that's where you'll see, you know, like high fluctuations and then, you know, it all goes up like uh it went up quite a bit in uh for 27 because we did not We're not doing an adoption in 26.
Why athletics matter? Well, we know we want to get our kids involved, right? Because when kids are involved in athletics, they're going to have higher graduation rates, better attendance, and a higher GPA. Those are the three things we we focus on with with athletics. Studies show that those three things are going to improve for our kids involved in athletics. Some of the things we're doing right now at most of our schools, if not all of our schools, and you'll see them listed, grade checks and eligibility monitoring. So, every 2 weeks our ADs are going to send out grade checks to the coaches so they can look at their kids' grades, monitor those, see who needs to improve, who needs to do better, who's doing well, um who can be congratulated on their good grades, things like that. We have our enrichment study tables that's going on during the school day.
So, he was literally having to read off paper and type every single thing off paper. So, now it's actually entered into the system where it's readable, legible. You're not trying to go through handwriting and things of that nature. Is this a I J F? What is this? Um and we're all kind of using our decoding skills there. So, that's saved a lot of time on that end. Um and actually I think we had 126 pre-registers already that have gone through and and redid the, you know, for next year. So. Yep.
So in May as a department for the district, we're going to look at that data and say this is what this is how we've done. This is what we need to work on. It drives our instruction. It drives how we schedule kids for next year, especially with Amethyst Brook where we'll have a 100 plus ELLL students in a building. And so we're going to look at those numbers, look at where they are, their English proficiency level, and we'll sit down as a team and say, "This is what's going to work best for this student. this is how many minutes of services. Um yeah, we look at all of that. A lot of assess assessments, data teams, um chats with teachers, um specialists and everything like that. >> So would it also be like when they hit that 4.2 or that six and they're like So do we transition children completely out of the program?
Uh the commission is going to control the narrative. And so once that's straightened away, it would be in their best interest to provide what we're looking for because they're the ones that want to do the project. We're on the Conservation Commission. We're here. We're We're not going anywhere. We're not going anywhere after this is over. We're We're um um We're representing the town here. So it's not in it it would be in at least in my opinion it would be in their best interest to provide for us what we need to review. And until >> [clears throat] >> Excuse me. And un- until they provide to you, you don't know what's going to be provided from them un- until they show you. That's true. And that's the problem right there. It's the lack of communication and understanding. And the continuous is having them stall and not be ready themselves.
While learning the music, Miss Church and Mr. Daniels did their best to help us understand the music. On the stage, students were getting materials for each other and helping them with whatever they needed. This shows how everyone in the Dartmouth strings program has each other's back. Thank you for supporting the arts in Dartmouth. My name is Taylor Hill and I've been playing the cello for two years. One thing I want the community to know is the astounding support given by Miss Church and Mr. Daniels. Every day we end class with one when one of our teachers says, "Thank you for being our students." And we respond with, "Thank you for being our teachers." This may seem like a silly gesture, but to us orchestra students, it's a routine. and a routine that instills a sense of belonging. I have grown lots from these two years, but one thing that stands out is how the theme of this concert came to life backstage and at our rehearsals.
McKechnie making headway. McKechnie looking to go by one. Takes a left-handed shot. Sand there to pick it up. Sand fires a shot and good job Good job by the goalie to to make a point-blank save. Good job by Aguom on that as Gianna Byron gets the ball over the restraining line, turns around and gets the ball to Lucy Parsons. Parsons behind the net. Parsons still with the ball, gets the ball over to Mary Devoy. Mary Devoy takes one in. Mary Devoy turns around, keeps it, goes around the back of the cage. Fires one up just over Lucy Parsons' head as the Spartans take an 8-1 lead at the end of the first quarter. >> Mhm. >> Back with second quarter action. This is Barton's up eight to one. We got Marino and Giovanni back on the draw. This time the ball gets up and loose and Charest and Whitworth fighting for it.
And is it the one? Okay. Is there anything else on that item? I'm going to move on to your first reading review of governing board of policy 961 through 982. Mr. President, members of the board, just in in in keeping up with the past practice, you you did receive this Fri- Fridays, so you had a chance to you know to to look through the information. So, I will just read the policy number and and everything that we have in front of us from 61 to 961 to 982. And that will count as the first reading and the second reading will be Wednesday, okay?
um most of it being in your certified teaching staff. uh you you have a a large fund balance in there and so you were able to support some compensation increases to those certified eligible staff earlier this spring and so um looking into 27 there's a lot still to be done from the legislative level in terms of the K12 budget for next year as as of right now the state uh Republican party issued a proposed budget um to the house and the governor uh that budgetcled widespread cuts to state agencies about 5%. And uh it did have K12 kind of held that um but the state is struggling too with budget implications trying to one conform to the new federal tax conformity and uh they're also lower than seem lower than projected revenues from from the state level as well. So um they're getting pinched. uh they're looking at ways to reduce their budget spending.
