Any questions or comments on that? Okay. Uh, hearing none. All in favor of 8H creative flooring for the DCHS say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> All right. Motion carries. >> Okay. I'd like to get a motion for eight I and J. Uh the first one I being the NESC dietitionian uh consortium services contract that would be from August 1st 2026 through June 1st 2027. And I'd also like to get one for ADJ the NESC nutri school nutrition mentor agreement and school nutrition mentor plus agreement as presented. >> So moved. >> Second Dr. Martin. >> So this is continuing to provide support to Amanda who's in attendance tonight. She has already uh started working with the dietitian through the North Northern Indiana Education Service Center as well as the mentor and so far I mean Amanda I won't speak for you about how things have been going but if you'd like to comment on so far what you have felt the services are and how we want to continue with these agreements.
It's a continuous improvement model. These are children. We're not factory workers. Uh factory workers, five of my brothers, very proud of it. My dad was there. These are children. We're not making, you know, working at Chrysler where we're making an engine. We're we're forming humans. And that process is done differently over time. As you just saw, it took somebody till they were 17 and then they got it. Others, Jay will tell you, not only they have it, but they're two years ahead, probably on where they could be in in second grade already because they came to us differently. So, you'll see the data at a highest level you've ever seen in Huntington soon. But then we're going to talk about we have to remember the narrative is they're changing and looking at cut scores. I just know the best experience they have is going to be at Huntington schools because I have evidence to prove that the beginning and the end 19 different pathways.
I mean, we just got a letter today, but um last Thursday night, we celebrated 342 years of teaching experience retiring, walking out the door on May the 22nd. That's a lot. >> It's a lot. So, those people are not replaceable. Um on uh this is uh while this is the busiest time of year for me, it's also, you know, really this is what we're all about. We go from recognizing four and five year olds who are getting ready to start their formal schooling career in kindergarten to adult ed graduation. So, you know, adults who dropped out of school for whatever for whatever reason or came to us from another country and get their high school equivalency. So, it's a it's a really rewarding time of year because ultimately that's the culmination of everybody's efforts and that's what we're here to do. Um, and I would be remiss without saying last Friday I attended, this was the first time I could actually attend our IvyTech graduation in Cookamo.
Good job working that count from 0 and 2 back to 3 and 2. Yeah, she's a tough out. She's a tough out, George, and hopefully she can put her bat in the ball here and and get herself an RBI. And and that one's going to probably get caught. Foul pop up by Kyra. Gets underneath it and not really what you want to do in that situation is is is pop out uh leaving the runner stranded at second base. So, Kyra's 0 for 2 on the day with that pop up to >> No. pop ball to the first baseman. Yeah, that's true. You know, with two strikes on you, though, if you see that ball coming and you think it may be a strike, you know, sometimes it's a it's a protective swing. And then that's what happens. Um you know, you may get under a little bit, pop it up, but you know, at the end of the day you're trying to protect the plate and not get a strikeout.
It's it gets a little complicated if you're if you're piecemealing. Lighting you can do multiple buildings at the same time. Solar you you want to make sure you you get up there and finish and and keep everybody safe. >> Okay. Well, thank you for bringing this to us, uh Raphael. Thank you as well. >> Thank you, gentlemen. >> Thank you all very much for the time. Appreciate it. >> Thank you. Have a great rest of your night. >> I was going to offer you you could stay if you like. >> stay and listen to our >> We have wonderful presentations coming up. Um 10.2, our ESL curriculum resources. >> Yay. >> For information. >> So, I would like to welcome Kelly Waldron up. Uh she has been working with a team of high school teachers. Uh, earlier in the year the board approved them restructuring to our ESL courses.
So um with not having an assistant um this is definitely a cheaper route and um with u the need mentor um it's our procurement group so I'm getting hands-on information but it's not going to steer me wrong. um anything I have for any state stuff um that I have questions on filling out um applications online um she's right there to help me out. Um, and the same with the dietitian. Um, she'll help with the menu. She'll help with anything I need to make sure, um, all of the information is correct. And we are, um, basically staying up on everything that's coming out. And definitely a um, two good programs. Um, it's very beneficial. >> Okay.
Kids will walk out of Huntington North with associates degree in the very near future here. Um go to any of the six elementaryaries. They're fantastic environments for children. Go to our middle schools. They're celebrating kids like we have never celebrated kids here. Intentional, positive school culture. Now, we'll see the data. We've been doing it. Uh this is right up our alley. But we also need to understand kids growth rates are what's important here. Whether they give them an A or a C personally is is irrelevant. The the product along the way is what we're focused on. and the product does this and the those are called children. And so when their emotions go up and they struggle one year, you heard a kid, I wasn't in school one year, that's going to be kind of a difficult deal that year for that kid's grade. We're going to take them the next year and then we're going to make it great again for them.
It was wonderful. Um, we had 88 87 students get the Indiana College Corps and 17 students graduate with an associates degree. And of course, those people at Ivy Tech and Cooko treat us treated us people from Loganport like we were royalty. They had the front row for us. Um, and then here are all of these kids in these red and black gowns. I mean, it was utterly amazing to watch them all walk across the stage. And the bonus was we saw several kids graduating from IVTech that were also our students before. So, just uh it was it was just wonderful. So, um I just hope and pray everybody has a great end to the school year because I can't believe it's here. Um and uh so shout out to everybody for for that. And I know they're probably like, "Let's get out of here because it's also scholarship night." >> Anyway, that's all.
This brings up Lorelei Collette takes the first pitch as a ball. Collette again is is having a good day so far. Strike one to her. Uh Lorelei comes in at 2 for 3 today on the day having herself a nice a nice little Monday afternoon. Takes ball high. It's two and one here to Lorelei. Lorelei hits a line drive to the shortstop. That one's going to be cleaned up easily there for the lineout and the Clockers go down. Uh go go go down pretty lightly there in that inning. Uh, no runs on one hit by the double by Vendetti. She is stranded at second base, but they still are going into the fifth inning with a 14-2 lead. Yeah, nice nice job there by Locky. You know, she was cheating over a little bit towards second base. Um, you know, from the shortstop position, not playing right in the middle, you know, the way some of them usually do.
So, Kelly is back with additional information in regards to a proposed resource for our ESL 3 uh, ESL bridge course. >> Thank you for having me tonight. Thank you for introducing me. I'm Kelly Waldron, the ML program coach. So, this aligns with our developing and aligning curriculum and our support for ambitious instruction. We are also working on a culture and climate and intentionally trying to make sure that our students feel rightfully present. Bridge, we also refer to as ESL 3. Um, we haven't all gotten on deck yet, so you're going to see ESL 3 cuz there is ESL 1, 2, and 3. So, 3 is our newest one. Here is our committee that we have. So, we have Dr. Er We have Maria Lopez, she's our director, myself, both of our coordinators at the high schools, and we have uh, Kurt Lasco and Tonya Sharp are our APs of CNI.
Any questions or comments on those two? All right. Hearing none, uh, all in favor of 8 I NJ and J the NESC uh, dietitionian consortium contract uh, and the school nutrition mentor agreement as presented. Say I >> I opposed. >> All right, motion carries. Okay, we're getting through the list here. 8J I'd like to get a motion to discuss theou for Sandy Hook Promise Foundation and DCSC >> Dr. >> This is the anonymous reporting system that I shared with you um earlier in the year and that has been shared with our um administration team as well as our directors. Um we were trying to work with Purdue to uh get a grant for this um reporting system and that didn't go through with Purdue. However, I have a relationship with the company and they want to provide the service for us. Um, so even without the grant funding, they would provide this to us for free.
And that process is in place here right now. I'm anxious to get this going so we can see and be um have the data in front of you each board meeting to say here's where we're at. But keep in mind others will set lines that are based on things that have nothing to do with Huntington schools. They're looking at percentages that is not as important to me as what the kids growth rates here at Huntington are. And when we do what Russ just said well and what our two experts say we're already doing pretty well at this that becomes the focus and this is a passionate part of what I believe is we will take to make sure that the kids experience at Huntington schools is unmatched in Indiana. We already have a lot of those programs. As soon as we dive into the weeds and get some database points to say, well, why is this group not progressing at the same rate we want them to, it's not because of the A or the B that motivates me.
>> Thanks. It's a lot. >> Yeah. Sorry. >> Questions. >> Right. Thank you again. All right. Next up is our second opportunity for public comments. If you have any, please come to the podium, state your name and address. With none, we're moving on to member comments. Mr. Leard has passed. I can't talk for two more meetings after that. >> Maybe three. No. Becky. >> Um, thank you to the academy for everything that you guys do. It's amazing. Um, also want to thank those of you who have to update the handbooks. I actually read them and uh, good luck with the attendance policy and the changes there. Yeah, very interesting. Um, also want to say today I saw on social media we're having a lunch program this summer. That's fantastic. I'm glad to see that our kids are going to have that opportunity again. So, thank you.
And she was in a great position to charge that ball come in, you know, again, grab it, get her hand over it, keep it in the glove, and make that last out. So, this is the important inning here for for the Clockers, George. So, I'm not so I know that you haven't done a whole lot of softball. So, it is a 12-run mercy rule. So, if the Clockers can hang on here to their current 12-run lead uh, after the first half of the fifth inning, this game will come to an end. It will be a 14-2 final. If the Mustangs can put one across, this thing is going to continue, and we'll see a bottom of fifth. We we might we must have some kind of Vulcan mind meld going, cuz I was just going to ask you about the mercy rule in softball. Yeah, so it it's uh, you know, it's one of those things where you want the game to continue, but you also never want a team to uh, you know, face something where it just becomes insurmountable.
And then we have two teachers on our committee as well. We've began this and we are sprinting. A marathon. Um, so this group has worked very hard, I want to say. We started this, we brought it to you in February um, to open this course. So, in that timeline, they have already developed the scope and sequence. They have aligned it to ELD standards. And they have also added common core state standards. In addition, they are we've brought in resources to look at and we've then made some changes. And tonight they have come up with what they would like to present to the board for their vendor. So, as I said, they've aligned it to the ELD standards. Those are the English language development standards and we use WIDA for that. Um, there is text complexity and there are literary strengths. As I said, we've aligned it to the common core state standards for English language arts 9 through 12.
Um, so the training, um, the actual tool and this will be comprehensive, uh, K through 12. And so even though our elementary students will not have, you know, the electronic system to report, they will be taught how to, you know, report um, concerns to an adult. um and they will be given those skills. So, I think it's valuable across the board. K through 12, our student services department is on board with implementing um this project and we're just excited um that Sandy Hook allows us to be to be working alongside them. So, asking for your approval of the agreement for the free service. >> Okay. All in favor of AJ theou for the Sandy Hook Kromise Foundation and DCSC free service say >> I post. >> Okay. Motion carries. Okay. 8K. Uh this is a new one here on the agenda. I'd like to get a motion to approve the resolution to accept transfer and retitling of a 2021 Dodge Charger police vehicle.
It's because these kids will have the best possible experience for growth rate in the state of Indiana very soon. We're already working on those things. If they're a B in fourth grade, know this. As they grow, that child, I want to have an A. And it happens to make our district an A. Each kid motivates us. Every student every day. And if you do that over time long enough, the A's take care of itself. This is old hat to me. Okay. Um, they told us what the model was in a previous district and we weren't doing very well. Four years later, we were the everyone was coming to us to say, "How'd you do that?" We didn't worry about how they determine the rules. We worried about the continuous improvement model at a passionate level with experts to help children be successful. And when those children are successful, they can put any accountability model out there in the world.
>> Since this is probably the last time we'll see most of you for about three months, have a good end of the school year and enjoy your summer. I'm sure we probably won't see you back here till August. So, so enjoy enjoy your time away from board reading. >> Vicki, I just uh thank Greg and Amy for your presentation and thank you to everyone for a smooth school year and good luck this summer. Have fun this summer. >> Just two things. I was I went to the uh unified track meet this past week and I if you haven't been to that um it gives you hope that it u our track team members will pair up with um special needs participants and they they go at it man it's it's pretty I wasn't expecting the intensity but it was uh it was very uh very good to see and the way they work together it's remarkable Um, my only other thing, and I mentioned this to this wasn't because of your railings and Ida, Mr.
But, anything can happen in softball, and and they've got looks like a pinch hitter coming up. Uh, this looks like it's number 20 coming to bat. So, we've got number 20 in pinch hitting for McKee. >> [crying] >> So, McKee is the ninth batter, so it's a pinch hitter in for the ninth batter, then they have they're they're back at the top of the lineup. >> Correct. >> So, this is, you know, the exact position the Mustangs would want to be being down, trying to get themselves back into this game. Domestico wheels, and it's a pop up behind the backstop. No play possible. All right. So, this young player's last name is Wynn. She's Her name is Sammy Wynn. Sammy Wynn takes a domestical strike, so she's now got two strikes on her. The count is currently one and two. Nice pitch there [music] by Bella Verga.
Um, we have added the social emotional learning standards and the culturally responsive teaching and learning standards. Their rubrics and their assessments are also aligned to these standards. They publication date of the curricular resource is 2023 and it does have different reading levels, student interest, and relevance. The resource is by Vista Higher Learning. It's called Bridges, ironically similar to the same so it helps me. Uh This resource is it works on all the different demands. So, first with an ESL course, you should be doing reading, writing, listening, and speaking. And it also covers all the different content areas. So, social studies, science, math, and language arts. It's a pretty heavy um material and it covers all things, which is great because then they're not trying to like pick and choose from different This resource has it all in one. Um, it has the varying levels for proficiency levels.
