Uh the bottom two on the bottom of page 10 again, those are our repair and preventive maintenance vendors for our bus fleet. They've been with us for many years, almost as long as I've been here. Uh they are excellent. Again, extremely responsive. We don't have a lot of extra buses. We maybe have two or three extra buses. So when a bus goes down, we can't have it down for two weeks. They turn our buses over 99 times out of 100 within one day. so we can get the buses back on the road and we always have two or three extra buses in case we have an extra athletic trip, an extra field trip or whatever the case may be. Again, they're worth their weight and gold also in regard to how quickly they turn around repairs. And if a repair if we're going to be down for a week, it's it's a repair that a significant repair, whether it's an engine or whatever the case may be, they let us know.
So. >> [applause] >> Mr. Brock, can you briefly describe Victoria for us? Hi, I'm Christopher Brock, and um Victoria is also my AP biology student as well as being in HOSA our HOSA chapters is associated with biotechnology. And this is an example of the fantastic opportunities that our students are getting. I mean, she's getting an experience that I mean, you can't really put a dollar sign on it. She's going to know people who are so talented. I'm talking about top research scientists from around the world. TGen's an international level research institution. She's going to be working alongside some amazingly talented and uh interesting people. And uh it's just an experience you can't really pay money for. Uh and you're going to see our HOSA chapter also did very well in our state competition and it's really because uh the district, especially Craig Pearson, I don't think he's here.
So you see the special ed has $62,000 sitting in there. I want to take that 51,000 that was for that student. I did this the cleanest way possible to make sure we're doing, you know, that money, 51,000 of that 62 was for that student. I want to take 51,000 from there, do a budget transfer to support services, which would then put that line in the green. However, there are still expenses there that are going to hit from April to June. And so that's why I would like to request an additional of 20,210 to make sure that when we get to Q4 that line is still in the green because we will then have moved and voted to have enough money within that bucket which will cover that choice that special education choice out student. >> Why are we in the red on so I'm still not understanding why why we're in the red on support services right now?
Thank you. >> Thank you. Um Amy, >> sorry it looks like I can't start my video for some reason. I'm actually in the car. I left just left a high school baseball game. Um I actually was so Amy Turniff 21 Rossy Lane. I am a town resident and um I wasn't prepared to speak on cratom today because I just looked at the agenda because I knew that um there was going to be some other items I wanted to listen into. Um I'm going to ask you to press pause on this um for tonight and not to vote to enact this policy. I did have a chance to quickly read through it and I was very surprised to see it actually. I chair a regional um prevention coalition that includes all the 25 communities in Metro West Massachusetts and many of those communities either have already passed a ban on or are looking to pass a ban on this feels like it's out of line with the work that um many in the prevention community addiction prevention community are doing currently.
The Spartans going into the second quarter, 7-2 too. Zung and Whiter up on a draw to start the second uh second quarter as the Spartans have a seven to2 lead. Ball gets knocked away and once again as she's been doing it all season long, M Whitler comes up with it. Sabina Mckne switches over to her left hand, turns around, goes in, takes a shot. Nice save by the goalie. >> Haber with a nice save deep into Tigers territory. Whips one up. Avery Morgado comes in. Believe that was off Avery's stick as Zung has the ball. Zung gets the ball over the restraining line. Gets the ball up to Vaughn. Vaughn behind the net gets the ball over to Molina. Stevens with the ball. It's up to Zung. Zung looking to do something. Nice pass into the middle. It's picked off by M Whitler who is off to the races.
They go through in painstaking detail the quotes um why it cost that much, why there's so much labor. They give us uh backup documentation on the on the materials. Uh so really again excellent business partners and as you know we run 20 to 25 routes per year. We have 20 plus buses going each and every day. We have special needs routes, we have field trips, we have athletic trips. So, and we make about $800,000 in revenue from partnering with Palisades Park, Fair View, Richfield, and Richfield Park. So, very valuable business partners. Um, page 11, kind of third and fourth from the top, you see Goosetown. We've been with them many years now, buying our two-way radios for both the schools. We only pay 10 months for the schools because school is only in section session 10 months. And then the two-way radios for the buses, we pay 12 months because obviously the buses run all all summer, especially with our uh special needs routes.
I rarely I don't think I've ever praised an administrator in public. But uh this is probably the first time. He's given us tremendous support. And I tell you we have facilities at Williams Field High School. I promise you they're unmatched in the East Valley. I promise you. That that is not a boast. And uh our kids, you know, they go through the biotech program, the three-year program. They they are going to be a certified lab technician. They're going to be a certified bio technician. Uh and then uh our internship program, which has been very difficult to get off the ground uh this summer uh this Friday, taking three students to an undergraduate research symposium at Scottsdale Community College. Their research posters are going to be there along with ASU students and SCC students. They're all were selected to speak at the symposium for 10 minutes presenting their research, which they designed and they conducted in our lab this year, and they're going to be published in the uh symposium summary.
because the stu So right now we have 105,000 that's been charged there. That's choice and charter. We know that the money for that one student that is in that choice assessment and support services is hitting that line and it's going to continue to hit that line till June. We know that we had 51,000 in special education that was budgeted right there and within that 62,000. So I want to move that money there. Does that make sense for the first part? >> No. >> So, it's red because our expenses are are >> Why are our expenses so much more than we were anticipating? That's my question. >> So, we didn't know the student was going to choice out until last year at the I think it was June of the last fiscal year. So, the budget was already passed and we had still had those funds in special education.
So, I'm going to ask you again to press pause, not to move forward with this, and um I'd love to talk about this further with you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um, Sunshine. >> Hello everybody. Sunshine Scotty, also known as Scott Francis, 17 Mory Drive, Ashlin, Massachusetts. And uh I want to second Amy's testimony. Can we please press pause on this? Uh because uh right now people are looking to uh ban this product, not regulate it. So it would be nice if we can um use some time to get together and to get in line with the prevention efforts that are being done in Massachusetts. And just want to people to consider like I'm hearing a couple people give testimony that it helps them. We're also hearing that people are dying, so we must do no harm and there are other alternatives like nonopioid pain relief medicine.
Mac with nobody stepping to her. Mack turns around, feathers one into Lucy Parsons and another save by Habber. Two two nice saves by uh Habber. Habber unloads one far up the field. Ball still loose. Empty check on the Tigers and Kekne comes up with it and Kekne gets the ball up to M. Whitwer. M Whitler goes through on two, takes a shot. I think somebody from South Hadley got a tip of that. Nevertheless, Haber comes up with another another save as the Tigers quickly get the ball over the restraining line. He had a Julia Gray with one. Both goalies are matching save for save right now in this quarter. Drew the gray air air mails one to Lucy Parsons. Parsons going down the field. Gets the ball over the restraining line. Gets the ball to Emma Crims. Can't get handled and out of bounds. >> I don't think the South player stepped onto the field.
Heading over to page 12, I just want to bring your attention to uh fourth from the top. Uh we we engaged them last year, J&J gym floors. Uh Dave Porfido raved about them. They do our gymnasium floor and maintenance for the the middle school gym and the high school gym. J Dave said they do really do a really great job. Um they do it in regard to the blackout period which is usually the very end of July or the first week in August in regard to the maintenance when obviously the the student athletes cannot engage in any type of athletic activity. Uh at at the bottom I think this is near and dear to Mrs. Calibris and Renaissance. Uh Mrs. caliber this will run its course in 2627. I know me and you will be chatting about what's next for Renaissance but I think that was an it's a hit right for >> right I think we engaged in 2425 >> yeah so this is the the last year um in regard to that and I've heard nothing but >> wonderful very very positive feedback from staff folks like Mrs.
So, leaving high school, they're going to have a scientific publication that they can put on their resume. And again, I don't think there's any other school in East Valley that's that's kind of can kind of do this sort of thing. And you know, I think it's a you know, Williams Field if if your kids is interested in health careers or medical careers science careers, it's it's it's really becoming the place to be. Cuz when our kids when they get out there when she goes to college next year, she's going to be ahead of most of her competition when she steps onto that campus. And it is a competition out there. And uh she there there's congratulations and I'm really proud of her obviously. >> [applause] [cheering] >> And now we have HOSA. If you guys would like to stay up here for HOSA and if there are any other members of HOSA that are here with you tonight, I would invite them to come up to the front.
Now, we knew this year that the student was still going to be choiced out, but we hadn't moved those funds from special ed to support services. And now, um the cost for what that is going to be for it's around like 70,000 and some change for that student. So, we didn't budget enough. We budgeted 51,000 in special ed at the time, but we didn't budget enough to know what their total cost was going to be when they choiced out. >> And so that's why we're asking for the additional 20,000. Then um when I move that 51,000 out of special ed, just say for simple math, that budget will now be $2,000. But we were going to be voting to use uh to increase school choice funds of 131,000 which will then bring that budget back up and align it. So that budget will now be in the green to cover the student that choiced in but then had to go to an out of district program.
So that's my testimony for tonight and uh thank you very much and also I can't let this go by without people writing in for S2999 to oppose nicotine free generation at the state level. Thank you. Recovery is real. >> Thank you. Um, and one more. Misty. >> Hi. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, recovery is real. My name is Misty Brown. I was an active addict for 11 years straight from 2008 to 2019. I was addicted to FDA approved pain pills, benzo, and muscle relaxers. Then I slid into cocaine use. I accidentally found whole leafratom in June of 2019. Is why I'm alive today. I didn't have to go the suboxone route, the methadone route. I didn't have to go to AA or NA or anything like that. I recovered at home with my kids. Today, I am proud to say that I am a recovered addict andratom.
So, South Havadley with the unforced turnover and Mcrims picks it up, gets the ball over to Julia Illingsworth. Illingsworth tries to feather one in to Mary Devoy and the goalie, sticks her stick out, turns around, grabs that one, turns around, throws the ball only to Oh, >> good save by Zung. Oh, thought it was a good save by Zung to turn around and stop that one from going out of bounds, but she must have been out of bounds. Hannah Eddie with the ball. Hannah has the ball. Gets the ball over to San over to Mary Devoy who will start the Spartans offense. devoid of sand. Sand to Mckneky to Crims behind the net to Lucy Parsons and Parsons takes off. She goes over, tries to feather it into Illingsworth. Three Spartans in there and Emma Crims comes up with it. Crims throws the ball all the way over to Mac.
Cal Mr. Rinfus. Um, in regard to page 13, I think third from the top is very important. I want to thank Mr. Portfido. He's engaged this company. This is essentially for lightning detection, which is extremely important, especially in the summer when the kids are out on the field and it's 95 and all of a sudden some of these storms start to roll in. Um, we engaged them with a a wireless uh outdoor warning system with weather station at an annual cost of about $3,000. Obviously, it's It's obviously worth it for the safety of of the students and I really the Larry Pinto I have to give him kudos for the next one smart pass. It's really to provide a digital hall pass solution with real time action actionable data. >> Lou >> yes >> we can't save the money and Michael behind the field go out with a metal thing on his roof.
Again, our HOSA chapter and the recognition as Mr. Brock talked about within our state competition. And so, we have some of them listed up there, but we just want to say congratulations to all the outstanding accomplishments that they've done. Victoria, you're welcome to come up again, too. It's all good. Right. And so, if I could just And so, okay. So, if you would like to introduce yourself and what you won. Um my [clears throat] name is Alyssa Hoppingarner and I won gold in biomedical equipment technician. Um my name is Victoria Trical and I'm going to be doing emotional well-being in international and I also got first in state for biology. >> [applause] >> I want to thank my parents for coming out tonight. I also want to do that. Uh I would like to make a quick mention that we actually started a got a middle school hosta chapter started this year and uh four middle school students from Cooley are going to be going to Indianapolis for international conference in June.
>> Okay. Um my question was really just the very first part of what you were explaining. Dr. D. It looked like you were saying something also, but was that all? >> No, I I was trying to get you to your question, but you guys got there. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I'm not enjoying this at all. >> Um, thank you. >> Any other >> I was just going to say, Dr. Z, we can see two screens of you. So, there's half of the screen is real time and the other half is delayed. So, that is what I think Rachel was commenting on that it's just really weird. It's not actually it. It's cuz we're seeing that when we look up there, you're like 10 seconds delayed, but then you're also real time. It's pretty weird. >> Can we not lower the YouTube feed? >> I'll handle it.
Holy cramm is a nonopioid alternative. Thank you for allowing me this time to speak. >> Thank you. Okay. All right. The uh next thing on our agenda, sorry, there is one more. Heidi, this will be our last one and then we're going to move on with our agenda. >> Hi, thank you so much. Can you hear me? >> Yes. >> Okay. My name is Dr. Heidi Sakura. I'm a doctor of nursing practice, retired nurse practitioner, and healthcare executive. And um I just encourage you to regulate. Um if you uh banratom then all that is left is the um synthetic and semiynthetic uh substances and they the manufacturers of those really don't care about safety. But if you regulate uh per thermome consumer protection act uh regulations and follow that um kind of uh local ordinance then um the people who benefit from really have that access and many of those are people that do use it for harm reduction and it's very important because natural catratom leaf does not lead to the opioid type respiratory depression.
where Mac only has one. She goes through two, three and I going to say somebody hit Mac in the head. Mac going in that quick. I don't think anybody's really going to be able to get her stick. And they get one in the face and Mac will get herself an eight meter attempt. M Whitler runs it in. Goes up over the goalie's head to get the Spartans up 8-2 with 715 to go in the second quarter. This is Spartans first goal this quarter. Tigers keeping Spartans at bay for over five minutes there. Oh yeah. No, seriously. Their CEO literally came out and said they will never raise it. I was like, that's amazing. Kylie Marino on a draw. Marino on the redraw. Ball goes up and Zung comes up with it. Zung goes in and out of two. Two Spartans gets one past Julia Gray.
