As Maloney attempts to lay down a bunt and can't pull it back, so that's strike one. We've seen a couple times Maloney try to lay down a bunt on a pitch that was not really buntable. Yeah, like she's a little over aggressive there on that bunt. Love to see her swing the bat here to actually, you know, get herself on base via swing. She did show bunt for a quick second, but does pull it back, so one ball, one strike. Ico Ustariz waits on deck. She's been on base twice in two plate appearances. Here comes the 1-1. A late bunt attempt, and it'll go foul, so now she'll have to swing in a two-strike count. Yeah, she It's almost like she's trying for that swinging bunt, certainly not a sac bunt. Looks like Lexi is trying to place that late bunt down. Right now hasn't had luck with it.
We stick to the actual investment. Sure. And then, you mentioned the the price locks and we I touched on it just a couple hours ago downstairs. So, I don't know if you have an answer for it, but if the performance contract is moving forward including any of the solar that First of all, do you happen to know, like at least in like is our goal to hit 100% of our electric needs with the solar that we get or most of it? And I'm not looking for any guarantees. I'm just looking for a general Jeff, okay? Yeah, in terms of that the buildings, uh, the new buildings, it would be the goal would be to produce in excess of our needs. >> Okay. Um, and be able to sell back to the grid. But, um, I mean, a lot of things have to fall into place.
>> All right, great. Well, that's all we have for you guys. I'm going to pass the baton back to Mr. Hanland. And uh >> Well, I don't have the clicker. I know we talked about that earlier, but I'll I'll figuratively pass it to you. >> [applause] >> Yeah. So, we'll we will end where we we began. Uh there are so many amazing experiences for uh students at Cheshire High School and it works for most students most of the time and our efforts this year to elevate student voice to get uh feedback from a wider swath of students to help inform what we do and our students to and our efforts to increase our leadership opportunities to a wider swath of students are all things that we're very proud of and lay a foundation for us to not stop this work next year. um we invited some students into this process that into these processes that didn't take us up on it.
>> Yeah. I mean, I don't think I don't see anything else off this list that I'm that would really be the big priority outside of the loading dock. Yeah, and I I think that it feels odd when the last time we talked and it was the turf versus the loading dock again. Like that's just Yeah, we've removed that element, and I think when we're talking about two referendum items, cuz you brought this up before, like what are we going to do to advocate for this? And it's like now we're putting two projects that have went against each other. It feels not great. Um, you know, to the point where if the but the reimbursement had come through, like I would have moved the loading dock or the turf into your two, cuz I wouldn't have wanted them to go head-to-head. But I think that now that the the turf is not a concern referendum-wise, we have more time to put into the loading dock and the public information and even how I present it to town council, right?

The final recipient of the Bellon Dental Community Scholarship is Zach Muff. His commitment to academic and activities is unmatched. I'm giving out another scholarship um because the person whose name is on the scholarship is at Fairview High School giving it out in his name there. So, I'm honored to be presenting the Steven and Judy Abbott scholarship tonight. Dr. Steven Abbott, DDS, grew up and attended local schools in Chico.

A A appears showing aerial view of ASDB. and white text reads, "What is your favorite high school memory?" Afterwards, we see a series of ASDB [music] seniors answering the questions individually. >> My favorite memories during high school is joking around with my friend Zach and Esai. My favorite memories of being in high school is uh hanging around, being funny, and hanging around with my friends. One of my favorite memories during high school was like when we were on a science class trip where we was going to the water treatment facility and we were learning about the pH and the ammonia in the water.
Uh maybe she should swing the stick [music] here and put one right up the middle. Comes the one-two. She did attempt to bunt again, pulls it back, and it's two balls and two strikes. Sanders on at first. Only one out here for the Clockers. Two-two, and that is a foul ball. That's going to >> And that is strike three. She When you bunt with two strikes, it needs to be a fair ball. Uh any foul ball on a bunt with two strikes is an out. That is a strikeout there for Welch. That's back-to-back Ks. Yeah, I I interesting interesting uh strategy that to have Lexi continue to bunt. Not sure if that was something that she was doing on her own or if that was from Coach Sasso. But with two strikes, you don't [crying] typically see a running batter still trying to get the bunt down.
Um, we're working really aggressively to meet the 5% threshold necessary for federal uh, grant money by July 4th. We have to have 5% of the project um, moving by July 4th. So, we should hit that pretty comfortably. But, it's really some of the the energy performance contract stuff with the state that's we're kind of holding. Yeah, no, I can talk about that later. later in my report. And so, just curious if if everything In a perfect world >> Yes. >> I don't even if we, um, But, my question being, do we have a a general idea of when we could energize, meaning we go live and Yeah, I know and I think >> buying the energy anymore. We're just producing it and selling it. >> Yeah, in a perfect world that would be this school year. Um, Sometime during the school year. >> Yeah. Uh, next school year, the upcoming school school year.
So our next learning is to now go find out well why was that and how can we help bridge some of those um bridge some of those things that we're we're trying to bridge.

You guys got a tour, um, but for them parading them the information and, you know, we did we did give a town council member a tour last time of the loading docks, but being able to offer that and get people more informed and the public more informed, I think we can we can do that this year. Yeah. So, we have some time. And we're again pre-gaming >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm not looking for any sort of like solid commitment other than just like a a verbal commitment to say, "Yeah." And if it includes even if it even includes like going to some meetings, like weeknight meetings, whether you as staff, us as board members, I don't really care, but like whatever meetings we attend.

It was a very fun experiment and kind of take notes on the water. I think that was pretty memorable learning about water. Telling this Cheryl to stop scratching. Over the years from kindergarten up until now I've learned so much from my teachers. Looking back on my high school career I would have to say WSBC, the basketball tournament, was really great. I got to meet a lot of new people and make some friends, which was a lot of fun. Also, cross country. I got to socialize and meet friends that way as well. Track was also really great. I got to meet a lot of new people and it was really great. My favorite memories of ASDB are all of the fun times that I had with my teacher Henry and my best friend Amanda. So, one of my favorite memories of the days getting to uh uh go to uh homecoming at pep rally and twerk.
It ends up causing a strikeout cuz she was not able to put it [crying] in fair territory. So, Nico Starace will bat next. Had an RBI her last time up. That one's ball one. An RBI single. She walked her first time up. She's also scored a run. Yeah, Nico's looking looking for one right on the middle here. See if she can drive when they're playing her very shallow. That one is in the center field. That is struck well, and it's over the head of the two outfielders. That's going to leave Starace on for Sanders at third. Uh Starace is heading for third. She'll stop there, and the run scores. It is an RBI triple for Nico Starace, and it's 8-1 Clockers. Yeah, that that was a very good hit by Nico, and it was exactly what she needed cuz as I said, the outfield was not giving her the respect that she deserves.
That's 25, not the current school year 5 6, but next year. Okay. Okay, fingers crossed. Amen. Thank you. Emily, really quick, um do you have a status on like the unpaid meal balances? Uh I do. Okay. It's um $24,000. >> 24k? Yes. Yes, $24,000. What we did this week though, um you know, actually Dr. Solan sent a letter to families with balances over $500. Those went in the mail today. Um just as kind of another like wet signature, just to to compel families. We had uh Kiki making calls last week. We've upped the amount of communication families are getting about their meal balances. Um but yeah, it's $24,000, so it's it's higher. Not as high as some other communities, but it's it's high. And the payments typically go through the MySchoolBucks app, yes, or can they physically send a check? >> They can They can pay at the the register.
