It was hit pretty hot, but it did go through her legs. Generally, when the ball goes through the fielder's legs, that would be called an error and the official score does say uh that Sanders reaches on the error by the shortstop. But, she's on base for the third time today. She is indeed on base. Here comes Lexi Maloney. She has struck out both times. Last time it was on a bunt with two strikes. So, we'll see if they let her and maybe unwind and swing a little bit here. >> Yeah, I I up 11 to 1 uh with two outs here, I would suspect that she's going to be swinging the bat, especially since she [music] hasn't had luck getting the bunts down earlier. She is ahead in the count two balls and no strikes. Sanders on first base. Lexi is another one of those kids that she's she's reaching base if she gets the ball on the ground.
Okay. If I can just add to it and maybe Tim this is something you're going to add. Tim and I were at the meeting and there was a lot of discussion and pushback on this position. Um we understood with the resignation or the retirement that was a position that opened up that we had assumed was going over there as a full-time principal. Um since that was not going to happen, we had to look at the [clears throat] needs of the entire building, the needs of the entire district around should in fact every um district elementary school have a full-time AP. So when we looked at that, we were able to do that by moving cuz we had a .4 and a .6. So we ended up keeping that person full-time at Norton, right? Yes. And taking that .2 whatever and saying that we would have a full-time AP, but then we were looking at who should that AP be.
So, I just am trying to be better educated. Like I tell my kids, ask questions when you don't know. So, thank you for your time. And if you want to respond via email or contact me at any time, um my information is easy to find. So, thank you. All right. Discussion action session. It is recommended that the board of trustees discuss and take action on the following items. Number one, approve the certificated and classified personnel actions as listed. Can I get a motion? >> So moved. >> I'll second.
All right, now we'll switch gears to um two Chico Unified Teachers Association scholarships. The first being the atlarge scholarship. Every year, the Chico Unified Teachers Association recognizes graduating seniors in Chico Unified with scholarships for college. Students are selected based on their dedication to learning, their commitment to school, and community activities such as clubs, athletics, volunteer work, employment, and unique hobbies and interests. This year's three recipients from PV are Dene Bador, Josie French, and Ava Kaikendall. And the last scholarship of the evening is the CUTA member dependent scholarship. The Chico Unified Teachers Association Member Dependent Scholarship is awarded to students whose parent or guardian is a proud CUTA member. This scholarship honors academic achievement, school and community involvement, and the values shared by educators and their families. This year, the scholarship is being awarded to a deserving student who has shown exceptional promise and dedication. Congratulations, Quan Jimmerson.
As we wait, allow me to say a few words about what makes this orchestra so special. Here at Cupertino High School, we aren't just any ordinary orchestra. Rather, we are what's called a symphonic orchestra. What does this mean, my friends? Well, a symphonic orchestra is an orchestra that is composed of not only strings, but also woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments blended to make wonderful music. This group dedicates two meets two times a week and are dedicated to work really hard in the evenings and each have worked very diligently to present something spectacular. Under the leadership of concertmaster Caitlyn, please hold to those tight cowboy hats and tiny dancing shoes for Aaron Cole Blake's Colorado business. THANK YOU. WOO! >> [applause] [applause] [music] >> YOU GOT IT.

Uh I am genuinely thrilled to be a part of the group. Uh there is a lot of work to do as you guys can hear and those of you that are watching at home, uh there's a lot of work to do. Um this is exactly the pipe of type of public discourse that should occur, and I'm thrilled to hear differing opinions. I I think that's important, so. I am uh I'm thrilled to be a part of the group. I want to thank Mr. Massengill for shouting out the EEF. I spent a number of years uh with them on their board and in their executive board, and uh they do great work for the community, and um yes, if you are not already engaged with the Ed Foundation, please take a moment to get involved. Uh use shmedfoundation.org. You can look them up. You can see us on not us, see you them on Facebook uh and other social media platforms.
She is going to beat out just about any ground ball to the infield that there is. There's not too many uh infielders in this league or in the you know on this team that can get the ball out of their glove fast enough to get her. This is a big pitch for Taskis, three and 0. And that's a strike. She does not want to have to go back to that top of the lineup where we could see a mercy here even with two outs. Yeah, Maloney took all the way there. Walks goes to hit here with two outs and Nico coming up. As she shoots that one into right for a base hit. So, she won't even need to beat that one up, but the throw comes back to second and [screaming] Sanders just barely gets in. Good awareness out in right by Calderon. Yeah, Maddie looked like she was heading over to third.
Because we know a whole section of that school is devoted to early childhood, right? I mean you're talking birth to three, we're talking multiple multiple fragile kids coming in. So there did need to be um there does need to be expertise in that area for someone to run PPTs, um to look at kids' needs, to make sure IEPs, and to coach teachers um in that program. So then do we get a AP that has a special ed certification who could kind of be in charge of that? But then what about the other half of the school? You know, what is their responsibility? We looked at Amato pre-K to two and then three, four, and five by the other principal. So, Matt, just to kind of quell your your We've been, you know, looking at this. And um I mean it I think it's something, as Dr.
Any discussion? We will be taking a vote via roll call. Mrs. Longshore >> I. >> Mrs. Tucker >> I. >> Miss Apara >> I. >> Mrs. Buchanan I. Item two, approve the recommendations for requested leave as noted. >> So move. >> Second.

Please take a moment and please consider uh supporting them. They do appreciate it. Uh that's all. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Wilson. So, at this time we'll move to adjourn. Do I have a motion to adjourn? Mr. DeMarco seconded by Ms. Iannelli. Thank you. All in favor? Aye. >> Aye.
I think Ashley, if she had continued to go, she may have made it. Made the decision to stop and almost got thrown out on a really nice play by the right fielder Calderon. But, we've got first and second here with Ustaris up, hoping to get two more across. And she'll foul that one away on the first pitch. That 13th run, which is the magic number for a 12-run lead, is on first base. Yeah, and again, it is only the fourth inning, so they do have to play at minimum the first half of the fifth um to see what happens if they are able to get Lexi Maloney to cross home plate. Ball on a strike here on Ustaris. Two for two, she's also walked. That's a ground ball that is foul down the third base line, and she's now in the hole one and two.
Solomon said, that we have to look at at the end of year one and say, "Did we meet everyone's needs?" I mean, the other thing is we're building and opening a brand new school. And we want it to flourish, right? So, we want to make sure we have the right people there kind of steering the ship. Um and there's lots of questions about it. It's very unique in that it has that Darcey School there. Um and Darcey is well known throughout the state for the kind of services that it provided to students with disabilities, particularly on the preschool level. So, we need to make sure that that is up and running with the right leadership. And quite honestly, I I question a lot, like what is that, you know? And I and I want to be clear about the staffing itself. We'll have a full-time person at Norton and a full-time assistant principal at Barnum in the proposal here, but who those people are, we haven't identified yet.
>> Any discussion? Mrs. Longore. >> I. >> Mrs. Tucker. >> I. >> Miss Akara. >> I. >> Mrs. Buchanan. I. >> Number three. We approve the recommendation of the administrative hearing chairperson effective immediately. Hold on one second on Okay. To approve the recommendation of the administrative hearing chairperson effective immediately on EXP number 22 2025-26 and stip number 6 202526 through stip number 8 202526. Can I get a motion? So move. >> Second.
And lastly, I would like to again congratulate and thank all of our seniors who were recognized here this evening. Uh this evening like allows us to showcase the special talents and the special people you all are. Um thank you again for attending tonight. Thank you so much um to all the seniors and congratulations again. Best of luck. We'll see you at graduation. All right. Have a good day.
This is from the start. >> [music] >> Hallelujah. >> [music] [music] >> Hallelujah. >> [music] [music] >> Are you ready for the roll call, Mr. Ushie? All right. Roll call. Please. Thank you for being patient with us. Mr. Bronsiak. Here. Mr. Canova. Here. Ms. Estrak Barnes. >> Present. Mr. Paris. >> Here. Mr. Siano. Here. Ms. Suarez. Here. Vice President Santiago. Here. President Basford. Here. We have a quorum. I need a um a motion for D5 and a second. Motion. Second. Uh first by um Commissioner Siano, second by Commissioner Bronsiak.
Nico also a really tough strikeout. Nico's only struck out less than a handful of times this year. I think maybe either two or three times all season long. So, another kid who can really put the bat in the ball and put it in play uh especially with two strikes. She's a great hitter. That's a line drive over the head of the second baseman and into right field. A run will come to the plate. Sanders scores. Maloney down to third base. That's the fourth time reaching for Ustaris, and she brings home her second RBI, or sorry, third RBI. Yeah, that's her third RBI of the day. What's that's going to be three for three with Nico with a walk. Another fantastic day. Now, she's probably going to be over 600 for the season. And that one gets by and Merloni will come to the plate and she is safe.
So, right now we have the assistant principal who split both times. I couldn't commit today that she'll be in either location until we post this position, evaluate the pool, um and look at, you know, what's best for for the the schools based on, you know, who we come who comes into that process. You think Tim Tay? >> [clears throat] >> Thank you. Yeah, as I've said before, my my interest is classroom teachers more so than administrators. Uh this particular position that we're talking about is I think straddles the line. Mhm. Is officially in the teachers union, not the administrator union. Mhm. Um but I were one of the things that struck me in the discussion is um we're going to uh particularly with this cohort of students, the a high proportion of special needs students. Um what we can do, and correct me if I'm wrong, but what we can do, the goal with this particular RAM uh is to optimize the chances for kids who uh work their way out of special ed and just go right back into general ed.
Any discussion? We will be taking a vote via roll call. Mrs. Longshore. I. >> Mrs. Tucker. >> I. >> Ms. Akara. >> I. Mrs. Buchanan. I. All right. The consent agenda. It is recommended that the board of trustees consider approving a number of agenda items as a consent list. Consent items are routine in nature and can be enacted in one motion without further discussion. This procedure conserves meeting time for a full discussion of significant issues. The consent items to be approved in one motion are 1 through 35. Can I get a motion? I'll make the motion. Can I get a second? I'll second it. And when do we pull it? When do we pull? >> Well, you wanted to pull it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Which ones would you like to pull? >> I'd like to pull item 11. >> Are there any others? >> Uh, yes.
