You'll hear about that later tonight and where we're add on that. That's obviously something that will require some work on our part to prepare spaces and make sure our students' needs are being met in all of our buildings and all of our facilities. Media centers, we've had a lot of discussion on that over the years with our board and that's also something What does that modernization of a 21st century media center look like? So, those are a couple educational pieces that we know we have in the near future. The final one, I want to stress this one. This is our final My final slide, anyway.

Uh the playground equipment's in fairly good shape. Um The Aces area have their own playground to contain their students so they don't run off, and that had a new fence put in last year. So, it's got all new fencing around that, so that's in good shape. So, outside of the uh handicap um compliance things at Four Corners, that school's a very simple and and fairly good shape school. Um And then the last one would be Academy Early Learning. Um we do have some capital money we're spending this upcoming year on replacing the old wooden rain gutters and some painting, I believe. Um if we do get into actually painting the outside of the building, I can't recall if that was also approved. Um we'd just have to have the existing paint tested and make sure it's not lead and and the before we go forward with that project.

I also believe it's important to closely review technology and IT spending to ensure those costs are being managed and as efficiently as possible. I understand there are no easy answers, but I hope the board will prioritize protecting the classroom experience and the direct support of our our students receive every day. Thank you again for your thoughtful consideration you're giving in these difficult decisions. Thank you. Thank you, Julia. Mr. Blakeslee. Good sir. Good afternoon, complex. Uh I echo the comments that have shared before me about this budget in the past that I think was given to this board. The budgets just keep increasing. Uh there's a state law that prevents effectively prevents the school board or the town from reducing the budget from the prior year's budget. Uh there are some exceptions to that, but they're fairly inapplicable. Uh and so I just want the public to know that so that each year this board's budget is growing synonymously.

One teacher described this student as exceptionally wellprepared for every class. She arrived having read widely and she put those readings to work citing sources, challenging peers, and pushing conversations to places they would not have reached without her. She made everyone in the room think harder. What sets her apart even more is her relationship with the work itself. She prepares carefully, reflects honestly on her mistakes, and treats every assessment as an opportunity to learn rather than simply perform. It is my pleasure to announce the recipient of this year's Frederick Douglas and Susan B. Anthony Award, Sydney Weldon. [applause] >> [applause] >> At this time I would like to introduce world languages department chair Artur Bronco. [applause] Good evening. Each year, the World Language Department proudly recognizes a selected group of seniors who have demonstrated exceptional linguistic proficiency. As we all know, learning a language is about more than just words.

Well, hello. Um good evening. My name is Robin Lang, and I am an AFS volunteer. I've been one for a very long time. And we are here to congratulate and thank Batavia High School for their long involvement with hosting international exchange students. Are all of you familiar with AFS? Raise your hand if you are. Oh, or our history? Okay, well. Um since 1959, Batavia High School has hosted 123 AFS students and sent more than 40 American students abroad. But since the 2001, many of them have also been here on those scholarships that were just named. Each year, more than 2,000 extraordinary young people from around the world receive these highly competitive and merit-based scholarships to study in a US school. The Medallion Membership School program is a recognition that the US Department of State has created for schools that enroll these students. Um these future leaders include students who participate in a Congress-Bundestag for Youth program, the Future Leaders Exchange program, which these two were on, and the Youth Exchange and Study program.

Hey, what about this? Is this on the radar? Parents and community members have provided some of this feedback. And then any high students, I have children that are in events, I hear things all the time. It's hard to watch a game without someone coming up to me and say, "Hey, are you guys ever going to insert item?" Or board members, I've heard from board members. I know Mr. O'Neal a couple months ago talked about some needs for the baseball field and and for soccer. So, we've I've added those things here and I also, again, I want to stress these are not have to right now. These None of these should be seen as more important than anything else.

So that's allows us to spend down this budget. So let's say Carpentry buys $20,000 worth of lumber which they have in next year's budget. So we move 20,000 into that carpentry lumber budget this year and they purchase that lumber this year. Then that extra 20 $20,000 that's in their budget now gets moved into a contingency account. So at the end of all of it, we may end up with about 1.5 million move out of different budget line items for next year and put into contingency. So at some point we will be asking you to revote on the budget once this whole process is completed. But the goal is to um we're about $5 million uh from net school spending we projected. So we've got to get the budget down to 2.5 million. So that's what and it has to be done by July 1st. So that's why you're seeing all these transfers.

We have parking that's added down the end for for teachers and stuff, but that parking lot gets pretty full. Um the gym is in decent shape, but it should be resurfaced sometime. Um but it's not used competitively, so it's just for the kids to play on, so it's not as critical. Um When you say re- should be resurfaced sometime, what's the set 5-year, 10-year?

And if a few things I want to point out, I I went out to the EdSight, which is the interactive data portal for Connecticut's public district schools and programs. It's by the Connecticut State Department of Education. I looked at the performance index for 2024 2025 Canton schools. And just to give you some clarity background. The performance index is the average performance of students in a subject area. So, uh English language arts, mathematics, or science on the state summative assessments. And it ranges from 0 to 100 and it's reported for all students and for students in each individual student group. Uh the performance index is accountability indicator number one. And the ultimate target for the indicator uh for all students in subgroups is 75. But again, remember it goes from 0 to 75, zero to 100. For Canton, the ELA performance index for the school year 24-25 was 72.6.
