No, Arnold with the ball now. No, ball on the field. Good heads up by uh the referee. >> Is it always two referees here only? >> Uh sometimes you get three.
And in addition, uh general consensus from students is that the freshman picking themies um are unprepared to do so. Uh because young students entering high school um in most cases have little to no idea of a future career and the semester long career exploration class has done little to help. So as a solution, we propose uh we propose this to Mr. Davidson and we'll be proposing to Mr. Donathan next week. Uh now we're proposing to use the board of education an academy fair for freshmen in the exploration academy to to participate in and observe what students in each academy do. In this academy fair, students who are already enrolled in each academy would showcase their skills, projects, and experiences to freshmen before they make their final academy choices. This would give freshmen a clearer understanding of what each academy actually involves. By seeing real examples, freshmen would be able to make a more informed decision about which academy best fits their interests and goals.
Through your actions, your academic commitment, and your desire to serve others, you've demonstrated our core values. Integrity in the way you commit to your learning and doing what is right. Compassion and your desire to care for others during some of their most vulnerable moments in life. Quality in your pursuit of excellence in your willingness to grow. And community through your decision to give back and make a difference in the lives of those around you. The future of healthcare is bright and it's bright because of you. As the landscape of healthcare continues to evolve, we need individuals who are passionate, dedicated, and forward thinking. Looking at this group of students today, there's no doubt that the next generation of health care professionals is ready to rise to that challenge. At DC, we are deeply committed to investing in that future. We're making an concerted effort to partner with our local schools, engage students early, and create meaningful opportunities to inspire careers in healthcare.
Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Item 2.3, insurance discussion. >> Yeah, I shared some information with the board electronically a couple weeks ago about [clears throat] insurance. We've been with um Well, we started out with Miles and Finch several several years ago, but since then Miles and Finch has sold to Regions, Regions has sold to McGriff, and now it's sold to Marsh, which is probably one of the largest insurance firms. I know the board has uh charged me in the last several months of hey, we need to find some competitive bids to try to get one a a lesser of a deductible um and and also um to see if we can't get a better premium. With that said, um I did react to that charge and and said it okay, let's go look for some folks.
But that'll probably happen more >> later on. >> in the states. Nice pass by Yeah. Nice pass by Matthews. I don't know who scored that goal, but Melrose now tying up the score 3-3 with 7:30 left in the first quarter. >> I think it was 28 on the goal, maybe. >> Arnold with the goal, assisted by Matthews. >> Yep. So, is that three different goal scorers now? >> Yeah, that was Arnold had that That three different goal scorers for Melrose. Melrose really moving the ball around. Goal discrepancy between Essemel coach and the official. Don't like to criticize the officials. They always have a tough time with her. Yes. Yeah, from basketball, too. >> It's all right. We play on. It's >> We were on a draw. I think she lives somewhere else and she moved here. >> Got you. Got you. >> Ball goes up.
We appreciate the school's effort put into upholding themies and we generally believe that it offers significant opportunities to students. While themies provide valuable opportunities for students, there are alternative pathways for continued growth to better support student education. This is the main reason we are voicing our concerns about themies at Danbury High School. We hope you consider our ideas. Thank you for your continued efforts in improving the Danbury education. Boys, don't just stay for one sec. Fellas, come back for one sec. appreciate the Academy Fair idea very much so. We have seen this in some other places and it and it is spectacular. So, we'll we'll get there. Thank you for coming tonight. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> Okay. Next on the agenda is our consent calendar. Glattus. >> I make a motion that the board of education approved the consent calendar with exhibit 26-81 through 26-8 83 in accordance with the minutes from exhibit 26-81.
I had the privilege of seeing the impact of these efforts every day, and it is incredibly rewarding to watch these students grow in confidence as they explore the field. We believe strongly in supporting and developing the next generation of healthcare professionals. These scholarships are more than just financial support. They are a reflection of the value we place on investing in students like you and future of healthcare within our community. We're excited to see where your journeys take you and we hope that one day we may have the privilege of welcoming you back not as students but as colleagues and future leaders in healthcare. Congratulations and thank you for choosing a path that makes a difference. It is my pleasure to present Maline Huff, Zach Bladget, Maya CR, Mary Harmon, Madison Ortman, and Lydia Hersley. [applause] >> [applause] >> What's happening?
Um I reached out to Brett Cain, who is here in the front front row. He works with Walker Hughes. He did work for Miles and Finch, so he was our agent at one point um just a few years ago. Uh so, had some conversation with him. I've had some conversation with some other members as well. The insurance industry for business is a little different than the insurance industry for you and your home. If you want a quote for your home, you can go to four or five or six different places and get quotes. In the business realm, they can lock out. So So basically, if you understand how that works, um and and Brett, you can chime in if you if you want to as well. Um Go ahead. >> Yeah, basically, um Craig is Craig is right. Giving it is just like >> Go ahead.

Everybody good morning everyone. I am not Mr. Septton. Um my name is Susan Burkhard and I serve as the director of development for All for One Ministries. Our organization exists to glorify God by unifying and equipping his people. We do this through programs like the branch gathering place and coffee house, generation hope, youth mentoring, care and counseling, and community community education classes. It is my honor to recognize someone who has faithfully served both our community and with Christlike humility, leadership, and love. The All for One Ministry Scholarship is awarded to an individual who demonstrates faithful Christian service, leadership, and a heart for the kingdom of God through the way they live and serve others. We are deeply grateful for the ways this recipient has poured into others, served faithfully, and reflected the heart of Jesus in our ministry and community. Her leadership, servant heart, and commitment of living out her faith have made a meaningful impact on those around you.
>> Okay. So, um yeah, in in in the insurance world, it is a little different. Um and you know, we there's only so many companies that actually have programs that are viable for um public schools these days. I mean, so you you've got about maybe five total uh that again that are credible enough programs that it it makes sense to take a look at. Um with that being said, is that when you get multiple brokers involved, the um first of all, the first person in locks out the rest of, you know, everybody else participating. And then the underwriters also kind of frown upon it. Um they they like to kind of work with one designated broker. We you know, I I kind of headed up our school team from the past uh when I was at Miles and Finch. Um you know, at Walker Hughes, we kind of do the same thing.
That just That goes to show you how much hard work you put in into the off-season. Mac Whitworth with their fourth goal of the game to put the Spartans up 4-2-3. >> Just incredible what she's done all season and tonight proving to be no different. So, just incredible for Mac Whitworth. >> Great great uh goal scorer. Great kid. So, looks like Matthews and Whitworth back up on the draw once again. >> So, they've been on all the draws. Both of each of the two of them. >> Both, yeah. It's been pretty I'd say it's been pretty close, 50-50. Just like anything, that's probably what the game will all come down to, draw control. >> Yeah. >> A lot of whistles. And it'll be the Red Raiders ball. >> Um McCaffrey's going to get her. >> Red Raiders have the ball behind the cage. Daniels with the ball.
