um Mrs. Havens and I really commented on like academic things that were happening happening in the building along with clubs and different balls and we're going to continue on with the clubs and balls this time. So we have a lot a lot more students that are involved this school year which is super amazing. I've been fortunate or we've both been fortunate really to have staff that's willing to step up and really work with the kids during their own time outside of school hours and show their things that they're proud of and share it with our students. So I'm going to call Mrs. Birch back up to start us off with our American Sign Language Club. Alicia It's been an honor to work with these fourth and fifth grade students. They have learned some basic signs and communication signs and I hope it sparked an interest to learn more in the future.
So, these two Do you all of us sign? >> Thank you kindly. Oh, okay. Paul, do you mind dating it actually? Do you want to date or destroy? Those that are going to sign those as well. And deep end.

Uh next on our agenda We do have a We do have a second A&R that we're going to do at the end of the meeting. We didn't know if we would have time to get to it, but I think now we will.
She was spectacular. I mean, volunteered for it. So, good for her for stepping in for the team and also uh you know, actually made a whole bunch of saves that played great. >> She was dynamite. After a couple of bobbles there, Ashlyn maintained the ball. Aaron Hickey with it behind the net over to Maggie McGuinness who's going to survey the defense and work it around. Tonight also youth night, Kev. Got a lot of nice uh youth players out here supporting the Ashlin team. Maggie McGuinness with the ball scoring area. She's going to pull back. It's always fun to see the youth. They'll be out here on this field in a few short years representing the the hometown and always fun to see. Aaron Hickey with the ball set up the offense. Back to Ryann Adorno. Ryann had a great game last night versus North. Pocketed two goals.
I personally think it should stay in there. Mhm. That would that would make it official. Yeah. That we not would you guys look at stop for a second and look at part C? I'm looking at that they've that they've stricken out. I think it should we can leave it in there. I think we should. Yeah, I think we should too. Okay. So, okay. So, when we when we bring the because next month for your second reading, we won't bring this annotated version. and we'll bring the clean version. So, we'll make sure we leave that in. Okay. That was C. Yeah. Um I like it that they uh for for what it's worth, I like it that in D um that they put, you know, as appropriate in terms of what we charge. Um uh because there, you know, there is a structure, a charge structure.
So, please join me in honoring and congratulating Tom Carr. Congratulations. >> And for our exempt employee of the year, I would like to ask Jill Cordova to meet me up front. I'm I'm get I I know everybody knows that Jill is a literacy coordinator. You have to know that. Um you know Jill is a leader whose heart for service has transformed literacy across the Morirana Unified School District. In December of 2021, when data revealed a critical reading crisis for our K3 students, Jill was the first to step forward. She rolled up her sleeves. She sounded the literacy call to action and led a collective effort to change the trajectory of student success. Jill has a true heart for serving our students, our staff, and our school communities. She puts her heart and soul into her work and into the people around her. When anyone needs support with literacy, she is always ready to lend a hand.
Ironically enough of our high school with Mr. Strickland uh to give our uh CHS report. so I've got um three seniors, Mesa Horton, Danny Surface, and Colton Kuster. Uh they're all members of my student leadership team at the high school. They're going to share about their uh experiences at CHS over the last four years. And then I've got Khloe Carter, one of our science teachers, Travis Walton, and Naomi Sanchez are going to talk about the last uh spring break trip with EF Tours where they went over to Europe and had an awesome experience. And they will share all the details from their trip. So at this time, I'll turn it over to Danny. I'll let Danny start. He's excited about that. Good evening. My name is Daniel Surface and I will be attending IvyTech through an apprenticeship with Newport. During my high school career, I have been involved in four sports: football, swimming, track, and uh baseball.
Alcaraz Ruth Alcaraz Arthur King Fidel Agreda Zeta Johnson Jared Tenorio. Hayden Cassaday. Anna Lee Chavez. Thank you. Thank you very much. All righty, I want to invite up Ms. Barnes. She led our chat club or game club. Good evening, board and parents. Um this year I've had the distinct privilege of working with the kids for game club. Um the brightest part of it is for me is watching the kids unplug and enjoy community for an hour as we discover with each other games from today and yesteryear. The students have enjoyed making new friends and using new skills that they have acquired. Jalissa Frazier. Fidel Agreda. Kendall Price. Jacob Booth. Ariel Welch. Jamal White. Matthew Leblet Hayley Scott Giselle Cervantes One more in class. Arthur King Ava Tigner Naveah Prince Janisa Perez Ruth Alcaraz Sophia Gonzalez You're very gentle. Annalise Chavez Annalise, sorry. Josiah Little And Ava Allenberger Hayden Cassaday Thank you, Ms.
So, um but um but next on our agenda are the public hearings. Um first one is um 240 to 260 Pleasant Street. This is the um MetroWest facilities, the um soccer fields, site plan review. So, when we left this, we were had taken um And Tony, who do we have here? Anyone from >> We don't actually Usually we have Wayne Belick, but we don't seem to have him. I see. >> so Luke must be He may be here present representing. Can we In case I let me ask him to unmute. >> [clears throat] >> Yeah, that's a verb. >> I had to ask him to unmute, so we'll see how how that works on his end. So, you ask him and then >> him, but then they have to take an action, so I can't do it manually for them. So, Luke, if you can hear us, you should been asked to unmute.
Nice to see her finally getting some offensive uh looks and and putting the ball in the net. Yeah, the generally speaking, it's been a lower scoring team than in the last couple of years. Last night was an exception to that where they got 11 goals. I think they were averaging something like nine. So, uh it was a little better. Ashlyn did a real nice job there of collecting the ball and then moving it to the outside when there was no shot shooting lane for her. Peyton over to Aaron. Aaron back to Maggie McGuinness. Bringing the ball to X here. Looking like they set up a play, probably Yukon. It's iso play to Lilly. Yeah, they wait to see what the defense is going to do and then try to react to it. Uh this is sort of a modified version cuz it came over with a potential pick, but nothing really came out of it.
Uh but I will tell you that I'm I'm very friendly to our uh to our partners in the community. Uh uh you know, if it has anything to do with kids, anything to do with kids. So even if it's some uh uh service organization that is doing a fundraiser, you know, they they want to use our facilities for a fundraiser, but they end up giving the money back to schools and to kids. I don't charge them rent. the only thing I'd charge them would be if it's on a Friday or a Saturday, charge them for custodial um or a Sunday. So, um I'm pretty liberal with that and and I've never really felt that you all would be opposed to that u because it has to do with kids. It's it's helping our kids and it helps like Kuanas. It would help us to raise more funds to donate.
While her role focuses on leading and managing elementary literacy processes, she consistently goes above and beyond to support their implementation across our schools. Jill is visible, accessible, and deeply connected to our educators. Evenings and weekends often find her in schools and communities engaging in meaningful, collaborative conversations. She always makes time to do what's needed to make the greatest impact. Through her leadership, literacy is extended beyond classrooms and into homes, strengthening families, schools, and our entire district. Please join me in congratulating and thanking Jill for her dedication. Congratulations. Uh e board communications. Does any board member have any comments? Okay.
Um In addition to sports, I've been involved in a handful of clubs and teams. National Honor Society, Stu, Student Leadership Team, FCA, Travel Club, and Link Crew are the activities that I've been involved with throughout most of my high school career. With all that Crawford Community School uh schools have to offer, they offer the best staff. From personal experiences, I had the opportunity to see and feel this. Brad Clark being one of the many that I could talk about has been a big inspiration to me. All four years I have been a part of the football team under his reign as head coach. He has made every single player feel valued. He develops a personal relationship with every one of his athletes and I am grateful to be one of them. He is a staff member. He is a staff member who cares deeply about each one of his students and has a server first mindset in everything that he does.
Barnes. Thank you, everyone for joining Game Club. Thank you all. All right. So, this was another new new club for us this school year and it's actually almost over. It'll finish up this weekend. I would like to invite Miss Buklavic and Mrs. Krueger. They are coaches for Girls on the Run. So much fun. Um Hello and welcome and thank you for the forward and thank you parents. Um we are the coaches for Girls on the Run. This is the first year at Bailey that we have this and we were very lucky to have a full team. Um we are actually hoping to recruit new coaches for next year. Crossing fingers. New teachers. Um the uh program consists of 10 weeks of lessons that include skills like self-confidence, emotional, physical skills leading up to a 5K as Mrs. Hayson mentioned is this Sunday. It's at Valparaiso High School.
We see that your hand is raised. >> [clears throat] >> Okay. So, while we keep an eye on that, but I think we can start to look at the document in the meantime. Um So, if anyone sees anything up there that I'm missing, please let me know. >> [cough and clears throat] >> So, Anne, if we can pull up the decision. I'm also just going to announce that I'm just going to keep uh if there's any other public comment, again, I am pretty lonely here tonight, so I'm not sure there will be, but I'm just if there is any public comment, they can people can raise their hands as well. >> [clears throat] >> Yes, the one I just handed out is the one with your changes. The one that's in the folder is the one that I emailed out yesterday. So, I'm going to start with the one that I emailed out yesterday, I think, because that's the one that everybody saw.
Yep. Looks like the rains have stopped, too. So, we hopefully will stay dry here for most of the game. Nothing worse than a a soaking wet senior night. So, nice look to Maggie down middle there. Gets swallowed up by the defense. Not Not going to blame Aaron for uh for that, you know, she's trying to put the ball where it has to go, but I've seen a lot of forces over the last couple games, which I'd hope they have a little more patience and a little bit stronger cuts. So, we got Maggie from the top of the eight here for free shot to goal. Not an ideal place to be shooting from. She's recently been firing right from the spot there from that angle. Wasn't a great place to shoot from, so she opted just to try to get a a better look. It's always good to reset sometimes.
Exactly. Exactly. You know, the idea is we're a community here. Yes. Community helps each other. Yeah, the village raises the the kids. So, we're part of that village. We got to be, you know, Yeah. Exactly. Um and and they're our partners. Yeah. You know, so, you know, we treat our partners well because we want them to treat us well. Yeah. It's just the right thing to do anyway. Exactly. It's the way we should do it. Yeah. Okay. Uh Yeah. So, now we'll find the other little find the second one. I know. And there's another place where I have uh I know, but here's another one where I have a little note on uh Well, we looked at ECB already. No, we looked at EBC. Oh. Oh, gosh. Oh, no. It was building as grounds. We looked at that. Yeah, that's the one we looked at.
Hearing none, we will go to remarks from the public. First up will be uh Jessica and S from Youth on Their Own. >> Good evening, governing board members and superintendent. My name is Jessica Cornes and I am the program manager at Youth on Their Own. Yodo is a dropout prevention program that supports students experiencing homelessness. The services we provide include an earned academic stipend that is based on school attendance, access to free basic needs items like food and hygiene supplies, and consistent guidance from Yodo staff. We are very proud to partner with MUSD. This year, Yodo supported 38 MUSD students in their commitment to stay enrolled in school and graduate. We look forward to cheering on many of our MUSD seniors at their graduations this month. We are here today to thank you for your partnership with a special thanks to the school counselors and other staff who serve as Yodo liaison providing daily support to Yodo youth.
He has been a great role model and what of what a leader looks like. Um, and he has been the one to push me to my limits on all that I do, whether that's sports, education, or just life in general. Um, Coach Clark is just one of the many staff members who do exactly that. Many opportunities at uh, Crawford'sville have opened up many doors for my education and career. Crawford'sville is one of the partners of CT, which has offered many career choices for students to experience. I joined CT my junior year as a student of the Industrial Career Academy program. This program is where I found my love for everything electrical and mechanical. Even better, it has opened a once in a-lifetime opportunity for me career-wise. The big reason for me getting the apprenticeship with Newport was not only because of my good grades in high school classes, but also because I got involved with a program that strengthened my knowledge and what they were looking for.
Um and we also did a community service project where the girls had uh um they had collected food for a food drive for the local food pantry. Uh Ava Zigner Anna Diaz Areli Camarona Aria Alabana Eva Sala Evelyn Here. Emma Embry Giselle Flores Cervantes Here. Chloe Johnson Naomi Jackson Eliana Koltuwik Wait, they're up for that. Kataleya Makola Heidi Todo Caroline Scenario Here. Good job, princess. Thank you so much. Good, I got to embarrass him. If I can call out Miss Mary Rose for Spell Bowl. Hi, everyone. I hope your night is going well. It's a beautiful night, in fact. I just want to say I'm doing Spell Bowl. It was a great experience, not only for myself, but the kids were just wonderful. They had to learn 750 words to spell all by themselves. We did plenty of activities, assignments, lots of games. It was a lot for these kids, and I'm really proud of them being able to do that.
Then we can go through your changes, Paul, because they were pretty they'll be pretty easy to recognize. Sorry, Mackie. Oh, I have to share it. Okay, so All right, so I have the two documents side by side here. Um All right, so we hadn't we hadn't yet gone through the criteria requirements. And this this is a just a site plan review, not a special permit. Site plan review, site alteration, not special permit? There's no special permit here. Okay. So we haven't gone through it before including the criteria, so we will just read through everything. Now the first thing I noticed here that under the project narrative the last paragraph of that needs to be changed. I think it's from the Y. Oh. See which one I mean? Yes, the membership building portion. Yes, yes. So that the wrong project description is there. So that will just get changed obviously um to what the proposal is cuz it's the rest um Yeah, I believe we have a little narrative somewhere that would fit into the you know that spot.
