Um, just trying to highlight some of the good progress that's being made over there. Um, if you've driven by the facility lately, you'll notice that it's kind of quickly starting to blend in, um, to the existing building. You can see the brick facade, um, or the masonary facade that's going on. Um, a couple
021of the elevations, you can see the windows in, uh, you can see the site work is starting um, to take pre or to take place um, with the installation of the retaining. Wall and, and some of the grading that's going on over there. Inside, uh, finishes have started. Um, so you can see the kind of the level of coordination, uh, that's going into it. Uh, with the photo on the left, trying to mock up cord reels, uh, for Air and Power, um, and get those in the locations that they need for, uh, the equipment and then obviously the ceramic tile. Uh, and other finish work. That's taking place. Um, in some of the, the toilet rooms over there and the corridors And then these are uh just photos of 1 of the the photo on
022on the left is a classroom uh, within the renovated space. you can see very finishes are there, things are painted out, uh, the flooring has started, um, and they're, they're making good progress, the photo on the right is the, uh, of the addition, um, a typical classroom. And most of them are in this condition uh, finishes of painting has been completed. Uh, the flooring work will start here in a couple weeks. And um, in the first couple weeks of June, uh, there will be furniture and equipment that starts to come in, uh, and starts to fill uh, the renovated space. Overall budget wise, uh, still um, in a very favorable position. Uh we have had some conversations about potential potential Scopes uh but for or for potential additional Scopes uh within the facilities committee, uh
023but for the time being, uh we're holding tight uh on those so that balance is will just um continue to carry forward. And schedule wise, um, not a lot new to report. I mentioned that furniture and Equipment will be going in, uh, here the first week of June. Um, we are, we will race to the Finish. Like we've been saying uh, for the last several months to get students and staff in that building, um, but they're all all, all indications at this point is, uh, is that we're on track and and, uh, and we'll get there.

I'd like to do the reports of the special committees. Um, so, Bosis. Um, at the most recent bosis committee meeting and I forgot to bring my uh notes on it. We actually did have a proctor student. um, Who. is in the culinary arts program there and I I I apologize. His name is escapes me at the present time but he was presented with an award. Um, Mr. Felt she was there. Do you recall his name? I apologize. I Was his last name, right?

So I could, uh, I I don't want to go without acknowledging his uh achievement. um, you know, he acquitted himself very well when he was being asked questions, he made a little presentation to the boses board. Um, it always amazes me when the kids get up and, you know, are asked about what they're interested in and where they, uh, where they're playing on going and what they found, you know, exciting about the program and Um, I think that, you know, those types of programs. Um, and soon, we will have some here uh, in our district, our, you know, very exciting. I I like the uh culinary arts program at bosis. It's near and dear to my
031heart as you can probably tell. Um do you have it in there? Yeah, Mr. Hago is Juan kamacho. Juan kamacho. Yes. Um, Juan kamacho and he should be, uh, presented with something from the district itself to recognize his achievement in both season. I don't think we need a motion for that. um, next up. Audit Finance. We had a meeting. On. Tuesday that was yesterday Monday. Sorry the days are running into in themselves. We had a meeting on Monday, we discussed a number of issues At that meeting. Um, not the least of which was the progress that was being made by our financial staff on addressing. Issues and submitting um, submitting grants. um, you know, we continue to we continue to work. To improve the district and its practices. The board is. Supportive of the staff.
032but also um recognizes that there have been long-standing um issues that the staff has Forced to deal with. And, you know, I think we've gained a lot of improvement over the, the past several years and we will continue to improve. um, especially with the board and the staff and superintendent working hand in hand to, um, address things. You want to add anything, Brayden you were at the meeting. No. I would just add that, uh, audit Finance review to policies that were uh, Committed to it from the policy committee. Those are being sent back to policy with the uh, recommendation of the audit Finance, uh, committee. So, those 2 policies are on their way back to policy where they will eventually probably make their way to the full board for adoption. Okay. Don, you were also
033in attendance. Did you want to mention anything? No. I think you guys covered it very well. Thank you, Dad. I wanted to give you the opportunity.

034meeting in May we'll meet in June and we're doing a walk through believe, it's like the 19th or something. We're super. Yeah. 17. Okay, well 1 in between those 2 days we're going to be at Procter and the CT and so we haven't seen it since we haven't fully walked through it since um September I think. So, we're excited for that. uh, Pac committee. Pac was scheduled to meet, um, due to, uh, some unforeseen circumstances, we felt it best to reschedule that meeting. So we are working with the administration to uh, solidify that date for the group. Communication, equity and Outreach. Your items and talking about some goals and initiatives. That we would like moving forward for next year in regards to Communications. Um, which would go into sporting events and how we can get,
035um, More videos out to watch all of the games, more commentary, um, talking about possibly having, um, creating a club, um, for students that we would like to see the solar in the working stage is talking about organizing, something like that, where students can actually go out and start working some of our cameras. Um, and some of the video equipment and kind of capture some of this film for us. Um, but good talk, just end of the year and just talking about a lot of the goals and initiatives that we have and ideas moving forward into the next school year. I just want to add on about the art show that it was wonderful and thank you to all the teachers in Christina for organizing it and Proctor for opening up the door. It just
036gets better and better every single year. And it really is just such a beautiful event, um, to see all the within our district. And I just want to thank Mr. Fouchy Fouchy and Mrs. Palladino for all the walkthroughs. Like I think that's been a vision um from the communication and the equity and inclusion committee to have the seniors, go back to their home school and every year, it just grows and my team for providing the breakfast. In the transportation and it's just it gets it's another project that just keeps getting better and better and we've been talking about it for years and now we're starting to see it. Um, I'll come through and it just it really is wonderful and I think the kids really appreciate it as well. Policy committee. It's Braden Windsor. The
0376 I think next week. Is it the sixth? Back and forth. We have I know what is that, weak, but within the next 2 weeks. Yeah, it's within the next 2 weeks and we have The function. We have a bunch of uh policies that are either coming back to us from other committees, or are being recommended from the Bose's policy service. So it'll be a busy meeting. I think it will. um, Co they are very, they are very exciting. I make those fun. I bring the fun. Yes, uh, code of conduct. I'll speak on Code of Conduct Mr. Paul's not here we met last Friday. Uh, 4 oclock last Friday, which is great meeting. Um, we talked for a long time about several revisions coming to the code of conduct that will be unveiled fully
038once the the details been worked out by the administration during the code of conduct public hearing, which I believe will be next month during the June 24th regular meeting. Um, the Highlight there is the fact that the, uh, Governor hochul uh, got through her cell phone Bell to Bell cell phone ban from State uh to which every school district in the state has had to uh reply by making a policy uh, to ban student cell phones. During the day. We had uh, Long conversation about that during code of conduct about how that's going to be implemented. Um, and it's going to require uh, you know, it's going to require every 1. It's going to require the administration's, The Faculty, the staff, and importantly, the parents, and the students to really, uh, get together, uh, to
039buy into this, to make it work. Uh, so that it does not become, uh, a quagmire of it, but I think that in the long run, I think the governor is right and that, uh, cell phones have become a major distraction to student learning and hopefully we can see the the benefits of that moving forward, once that's implemented, a doctor spends, I don't know if you were Mr. Far, I wanted to talk about the cabinet. Maybe strong magnet, So exhibit a, uh, Megatron or cabinet. There will be uh, instrumental in housing, the cell phones. Mike, would you mind just giving a tour of what that look like? and just just for, for the community's record, once we finalize this plan, we'll and the board will be um, proactive and making everyone aware of the plan.
040So that when we start the next year, we are on the same page about the expectations. Okay, Mike, can you speak to that? This is the cabinet that we put together with the maintenance guys. They don't really make cabinets that can hold. And then as many phones as what we need, you have a daily basis. So um, throughout number We collect the phones still working out how we're going to collect and and inventory. Those phones. We had a couple different options that team. There's going to be multiple cabinets. So when people are leaving, their is not bottlenecks and um eat 1 location. So the kids are low or we can't make their phone is or where that cabin will be at the end of the day. So they're obviously, they're like portable that like they
041roll out and then they, they'll be stored or checked in so the cabinet. A, at the end of the day, over like go to academy, be the, uh, entrance, and No, that's the C they sign in. You can't really assign uh, space for the kids by name to come in a different door like like every day or differential. So and well and mechanism for tracking that that'll be shared with the board. And also the expectations will be made out to the community. So we're just working through the procedural aspects of it, but this this law required us to, you know, get get a device and there it is, all buildings. Yeah, starting from like case. 12, that won't be in all buildings but the the it will apply to all buildings. Okay. Yes. so, That's
042a mobile unit, right? Wouldn't we be better off? placing it in the parking lot and where people Look, this isn't cool. You know what, to be honest, Joe, they they used to in the city, they used to do that in New York City, do we. They actually used to check the phones and I was all right, so he's not that far off. But no, we're going to keep ours in house Joe. It's too cold. My niece is all in Long Island for the past 4 years, have had it and they check it outside, it's a mobile spot. It it looks like a boot drop and it's the same thing and so they've had it for about 4 years, then they check their phones in through there. So I'm not wrong about the the mobile spot
043outside. It's a real thing, it's all in the city, I think we should maybe have a food truck slash phone check on, I would like those to have charges. In there. We'll send it back to you this way. They're calling give me charged by the end of when they get it. I I that's the reward for putting it in. Exactly. They're not going to turn it off. All phones are in the garden. I want to hear God's phone number and then you talked about elementary school. It's going to be a cabinet is a little easier. There's going to be cabinets. They're 36 spaces in the cabling cabinets, but we don't know what would be mounted to the walls and each other. That's a classroom. Pretty pretty pretty easy to manage like 1 of the things.
044Is I I have to be honest with you that's a very foreboding looking cabinet. Do you think that maybe the um you could you could present like a color chart to the, um, Communications equity and Outreach committee, so they could design something or recommend, something that would make make that look a little more. What's a little, we'll put some On the outside Wheels. I think a mirror would be great, our club, our club do it. I think that's a good idea. Listen, that's great. There you go. Of course, solving problems. Making moves. Okay, okay. No, I I want to do the superintendent's report. You have a presentation to make. I'm more from my superintendent's Report with the board consideration. I would like to offer my superintendent's report for the board consideration. Okay. Does anyone want
