Next subject is a recognition of Mr. Tom Mreth. Uh, Miss Lenderville. >> Yes. I'd like to invite Miss Cabrera to talk about Mr. Macar. >> Good evening, Madam President, members of the board um and guest. Um I'm really excited and honored to be able to celebrate um Mr. Mack. Um his influence really does go beyond the classroom. Um, not only has he encouraged so many of

012our students to tap into their creativities, but he truly lives and breathing harder than a personal passion. You can see it all over. Uh, this pass this passion recently brought him to a big professional win. Uh, Mr. Mack took home the best show award at the Tubac Center of the Arts members only show competing against 144. >> Wow. Um, his winning piece, a a beautiful portrayal of a Native American Indian, was part of his very first art show, making the honor even more special. Um, for Mr. Mack, we know that art isn't just something he teaches. He It's how he sees the world and connects with it, the people. His dedication and love for art inspires his students to find their own voices and express themselves without fear. Um, Mr. Mack, thank you very much

013for sharing your talent and passion with our students. Um, your achievement reminds us of just how powerful art can really be and we're so proud to have you here with us at CTMS and in our community. So, thank you, Mr. Mac. >> Sorry to let you talk because you're going to Sorry, I'm going to get it out of the way, but we want to give you this plaque. Thank you very very much for everything you do. And >> thank you. >> Now, turn it over to you. >> Okay. >> Thanks. Um, well, thank you for bringing me up here and I don't all I can say was it was a huge surprise because I've been doing art for many years and uh there's been a lot of people from my family and then certainly a

014lot of colleagues who um I don't think I could uh stand up here and not bring up here Mark and >> Miguel. Yeah. you know, as as colleagues, we we spend a lot of time coll collaborating with over the kids and and trying to hone our craft with the kids, but also on the weekends for years, we've been uh sharing our artwork and collaborating over the phone. And I can tell you some true stories like this last weekend with uh Miguel because if you've seen his murals, he's he's a color guy. And uh I guess you're going to see one of my pictures. I'm a black and white and grayscale guy. So, when I struggle with the colors, I get on the on the phone with Miguel and how do I do this? What's going

015on? My colors are mixing up. And so, he's right there sending things back and getting into this show. He he was a part of uh being inspired, stepping forward to do it, you know, seeing how far he's come and such an amazing artist he is. I could just hope to be as good as him one day. And then uh Mark, you know, you go back 15 years when I got in the district, he's been encouraging me for years. And if you go back 15 years ago, I was nothing but sand and grit. And he probably was the first to smooth that out a little bit. Um but he's an unbelievable mentor. And I know that this piece that I got the best in show award. when I was building it, I brought him to my

016classroom and, you know, I'd ask him, "What do you think?" He might get he'd give me some tips and suggestions and we've been doing that for for years and I don't think I would have done the show without his encouragement. So, I'm just thrilled to be here and uh it was quite an amazing thing, but I don't think I could be up here without saying that and making sure that you >> So, I can't stand it anymore. I got So, we've been pushing him for like two years >> to enter an art shop. >> Oh, no. I can't. I don't want to. >> Finally, we talk him into it. But then then comes like um two months of I don't know. We have to price the painting. I don't want to sell it. What should

017I price it? I don't know. The two months of trying to put a price on. >> Don't worry, Tom. Nobody's gonna buy it. You're not gonna win. Okay. So, Then it gets in there. >> So the night of the show >> encouragement there. >> It was true. I was just putting my foot in. >> He had never been in a show. >> So of the show he's he's in the back with Fanny, cracking up. You know, they're making jokes, talking about other stuff. And well, I knew who was going to win. They tipped me off. So So in the front, the announcers are saying, "And the best of the show and back and It was it was John's fault. >> Call his name and he's >> So anyway, not only that, but a couple days

018later, somebody bought the painting at a price higher than they told him to put on it. He put it higher so nobody buy it because he wanted >> it was a big step. >> Somebody bought it. >> So somebody did. >> Oh, look at that. Beautiful. >> Wow. That is so cool. >> Yeah, >> that is so beautiful. >> So, it was a >> We're proud of >> it. It was a It was a big shocker. I mean, it was an unbelievable surprise because for years I just would I keep all the art to myself and then I would give it to my kids. And then that night I had my entire family, all my grandkids, every last one of them there. So, it was totally unexpected. And usually, you know, you can go into

019these things and you get ready, you have an idea of what you're going to say. I was just stunned. So, it's it's a good feeling and and u still surreal if that makes any sense. >> Yes. >> Thanks for bringing me here. >> Well, Tom, I got a couple words. I'll start it off. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> Uh yeah, super proud of proud of you. Looks like we got a taekwond do champion now an art champion in our schools. So uh and have that mindset to do these uh paintings is not not much all of us can have that type of mindset to to be painters or to be that creative. And just looking at that photo uh the picture that you made that that's just surreal. I mean that that's beautiful. >> Thank

020you. And uh yeah, I think the only painting I can do is like an abstract >> and also to keep that open mind to bring in your colleagues uh to critique your painting that shows you're very humble and uh you know and and allowing them to do that and making the changes and hopefully the the prize money can send you guys to Disneyland or something. I I'm just very fortunate to have a great team right now and >> it just rolls over to just the personal professional side too, not just with the school. >> I couldn't be happier with the team. >> Super proud. super proud of all you guys, but super proud of you. And I did talk to about two, three teachers at Garretts, and they say that your art classes, all your

021art classes, that you guys are already painting right now, and they're just so amazed walking in your guys' room. And just food for thought, I'd love to see an art gallery uh sort of with paintings that the public could buy at the high school. Uh you know, keep that in your mind. And that that'd be so cool. Uh, I know uh certain high schools they take if uh somebody wanted a painting of like a Native American, they could have one of your students draw it and it'd be specifically made. But >> well, we have a we have an end of the year art show every year. We've done it for at least four years, I think. >> You're welcome. Look at the dates. >> Congratulations. Y >> Yes. Hi. Um I agree with Mr. with

022Mr. Beach. you, your family, your grandkids should be so proud of you along with your with your colleagues and I for one I know for the rest of the board will feel honored and very happy that you choose you and your colleagues choose to be part of 35. >> Absolutely. Thank you. >> Definitely. Definitely, Mr. >> Yeah. What an amazing painting. Thank you for sharing that with us and and everybody and uh the community and uh thank you for being a part of our school district and uh and for doing what you do. It's very important. >> Absolutely. Thank you. >> It's true. >> Well, Mac, it's good to see you again. It's been a long time. >> The best of you. >> But I can tell everybody here that when I went to your

023house and I saw the works that you already had there, I thought they were already magnificent and I had talked to you about how you should enter them, >> the Tubac Art Festival, and I said you should you should do something with them. But what I really liked about you is that you liked them so much that you didn't want to let them go. >> Yeah. That's kind of the >> true sign I think of an artist. One of the true signs and >> I already saw those that you had like of the cowboy and some of the other ones that you had and I thought those were magnificent but the one I just saw right now was beyond stunning, >> breathtaking >> compared to the other ones. But the other ones I wish the

024board could see the other pictures. I hope maybe you come back those other pictures. There's uh there will be another show November up at the TCA and uh they'll be taking some of my art, showing a few more pieces and so you guys are certainly welcome to come. >> I'm glad your colleagues encouraged you. >> Yes, definitely. >> That's also something else I something I didn't expect that I think is really quite a beautiful thing when other people help you out in that regard because I would have thought you you couldn't use any help after what I saw. >> Oh no. you can. And I I learned about the colors that your colleague helped you out with and I just I just there's no words. It's just ineffable experience to be here and witness that

025kind of art. >> Thank you. >> And I just think like you should continue to paint and it's it's your your love and your talent and God-given talent because everybody has that kind of talent. So, but thank you. You know, you know me well enough to know that I'm very grateful for all you do for our district, including the kids. It's been mentioned. I still remember the scorpion that your student painted. Remember that one that they brought? >> Oh, yes, I do. I do. >> That was something else. And that was your inspiration. You You're pushing them anyway to be their best. >> Well, the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all that you do and you've done especially for me too on a personal level. the schools. >> Absolutely. >> Appreciate everything

026that you did. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you very much again. Thank you so much. I mean, you know where my heart is with you. You know that I'm so happy that your family had such a memorable occasion, you know, to share with you and stuff and and again, I like the fact that you guys are are so close together because you can see it in our students drawings, you know, like where it comes like from Mr. Dipmar, you know, to you, you know, to, you know, the other one to the high school. So, it moves. Look at the pictures that are outside. Fourth graders doing work that you can't even, you know, imagine that a fourth grader, you know, is doing that quality of work. And that comes down to all of you

027where it goes, you know, from one place to another. And it just continues, you know, how lucky we are as a school district to have all three of you, okay, teaching our students, okay, the art, >> you know, the things of that have to do with art and stuff. And congratulations. I mean, I love all of your work, but this one just blows me away. It is >> beautiful. It's amazing. Thank you so much, Mr. Continue. And uh congratulations. Congratulations. I >> really do appreciate it. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> Thank you, Madam President. Um, we have officially passed the first 10 days of school. So, we will be um putting together an enrollment update for the board um in an upcoming either as an FYI or in an upcoming

028meeting. Um, all of the sites um have started all of their events um open house >> um things like that. The Rattler is um cross country race. If you haven't had an opportunity to attend it, it's a really it's an awesome event. It's this Friday. Um and our Ngalas home opener for football is coming up on the 5th. >> Um so right out of the gates, that's our that's our home opener. >> Um so we're excited about that. Um volleyball and all the other sports have started. Um along with at our middle schools this year, um we've kind of developed our own league. So um to expand opportunities for our students to participate. So that is something new that we started this year as well. Um thank you madam president. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

029you. Uh next our governing board uh member report. Miss Dear >> I have nothing to >> Okay Mr. Guerrero Mr. Ramirez. No, I just look forward to spending time with you guys, getting some board of members better. You could have known you already, but it's always good because we always develop a sense of >> um no say camaraderie. >> That's Thank you. And >> not only that, but we come up with good ideas and sometimes bounce ideas off each other. and the to the workshops sometimes, you know, I was pretty skeptical when I first got on the board. Some of the workshops I've seen in my life, they were just outrageous. But there were some that were really cool. Like when we met that principal from Black Rockck High School. >> Yeah. >> The one

030that had really all on her own through her own spirit had really gotten those results from those kids >> got them to pass courses and a nominal rate. That one I was so moved and I didn't think we would meet her but we did. >> And so there's always a little something little morsel you can grab from these conferences I think. So, I'm glad I I I got to experience that because it changed my mind about a lot of things. It's just part of the growing experience, I guess. But and I look forward to to the one in September as well because the the one that's coming up is just going to be really quick, so with the trust. >> Yeah, I'm going to that. >> Yeah. And I don't know, we don't tend to

031really, you know, hang out too much, but the other one is nice and they're more conf I mean, they're more workshops and things to go to. So, I look forward to that. And I just want to encourage everybody to keep going strong, all the teachers and administrators, cuz it's not easy once you start to get really into the thick of things and, you know, all the issues start coming up. So, that's when you got to be tough, especially in October. That's what I always say. The hardest months, I think, in the school year to get through are October and April. not as many vacation days and the kids start to get burned out after the first nine weeks. So, push hard and work hard and try to stay positive. Thank you. >> Okay, Mr. Beach.

032>> Yep. >> Yeah. Thanks to all the principles, teachers, maintenance, uh getting uh the school year off to a great start. I mean, a lot of hard work. First PDS, the sports are going, everything's coming back. you're not used to standing up and speaking for eight hours in a day. You go home, your voice is horsearo. Uh so, uh thanks for getting off to a great start. And like Mr. Arita said, I I would say the next three weeks just hold everybody accountable. You set that tone, it sets it for the rest of the year. So, uh keep that in mind. Uh sports are in full swing. Uh Ngalas football, you said on the 5th. >> Yep. 5th, but uh the volleyball is down Thursday at Nogalis. It starts at 4, so hopefully we'll see

033some people down there. I got to check my AIA pass. I think it's digital now. So, >> yeah, we just got that. >> Okay. >> So, volleyball Thursday, Admogal 4 p.m. And I heard Miss Rearia Satano, there's a a rumor going around you might change your mascot to the rattlesnakes. >> No, >> been that way lately. >> Okay. No, thank you. >> So, you've had critters there. >> Heard about >> uninvited. >> Shovel. >> Okay. >> All right. Yeah. Uh but other than that, uh yeah, let's continue moving on and uh support our teams uh with all the events coming up. >> Yep. Absolutely. Yeah. >> Everything he said and everything that everybody else said. Good luck to our all of our athletes. Uh, I have also heard really good things about the open house

034that they had at uh at uh Rio Rico High School. You know, congratulations. You guys had a lot of people coming in and and I was going to go, but I had um uh I had a doctor's appointment and I got out too late and I wasn't able to get down here. So, but I was really wanting to go. But, um just also good luck to all of our athletes. And then, um our principal reports, I'm expecting those. You know, I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I did uh uh we did get the um uh what was it the what was it that we got there that for the um when they when they misbehave it's the >> discipline report >> the discipline report okay and I was really happy that nobody had anything

035except the high school but it wasn't anything major you know it was you know students not you know ditching classes and stuff like that and and you when you get things like that you know you know things are going really good you know because you're not getting you know those the fights and the you know and the things with the phones and all that stuff. So for that you know um just uh you know good luck to all of you people to all of the uh principles and teachers and everybody you know just you know we just need to move forward and continue. So thank you very much to everybody. Um moving forward is a tolling agreement. Miss uh Lenderville. >> Good morning madam president. Um before you tonight is um the the tolling agreement.

036Um the only major change is that it would extend through February 28, 2026. Um and it also would allow um districts um could file um up to May 29th, 2026. >> Okay. >> It's it all of the language is identical. Everything else is identical to the controlling agreement. It would just be extended to that. >> Extended. All righty. Okay. Is there a motion? >> Motion to approve the extension of the existing polling agreement with the auditor general state of Arizona with the dates and set. >> Second. >> Okay. >> Uh is there any further discussion from anyone? >> No. Okay. >> When is this extended to?

I can't see. >> Is there is there one one in particular person? >> No, I just want to I just want to make sure people aren't getting short changed if they're doing additional work in the summer because I've seen that in the past, >> not just me, but with other people. And I want to make sure that everybody's getting a fair shake here. >> Yeah. Isn't it true that it has to do

044I'm sorry, Mr. It has to do with their experience and the number of years or something. >> Not for not for us. Okay. >> Mhm. >> Not not for athletic coaching. The out of season stipens, Mr. Ramirez, um, all they're eligible for those. They need to submit a plan. It might not be in the summer though. So like some sports start in the summer. That's their season start date. So like football for example, they already started. But then when the season ends, they can submit an outofse coaching stipen um request to athletics and then athletics reviews that. Um, it normally includes all their like open field, open gym, if they participate in like a summer league or a winter league or a fall league depending on if they're in or out of um and then

045yes, those coaches are are given that um there were some on the prior board agenda, but um right now most everyone is either in season or they've already been approved and provided with an out ofseason coaching which came back Jesus. >> All right. So, those are not in here though. Those come up later on in the year, right? >> They come up they come out through the summer or through Sorry to interrupt. Yeah, they come in through the the summer or when the season is occurring or not occurring. So, and and we're one of the only districts, in fact, we might be the only district that I know of that does out of season stipens for our coaching staff. uh because we know that many have put in many many hours. Um so it's something

046that we brought to the board uh with our last override and uh the community supported that and the board has supported that. So we make try to make sure that they're compensated in some way because many years um you know although you know Mr. Beach never got paid to coach in the summer. I know you never got paid to coach in the summer. Um and so it's something that we wanted to make sure we try to compensate our coaches for the time that they put in. Thank you, Dave, because I that's exactly the point I was going to make is that I want to make sure that people don't get discouraged and then quit because we've lost a lot of good coaches for those very same reasons that you mentioned. But since you're here, um

047who is there a group, Dave, that decides that or or is there sob? >> No. So, IBB is um the one that really works on that salary schedule. Um and and we and it again it's based on as much funding as we have. Um and it's not a full like a regular season stipen. It's I believe it's half. Um but it's something that we um set money aside from the override to fund. And then um like Dr. Lill explained um those coaches aren't required. I mean we want them to um have offseason programs and so this is an incentive for them to do that but they have to turn in a plan. uh you know, it's not just going to be rolling the ball ball out an open gym and saying that's uh you know

048the the plan they they have to have some type of plan that they're putting in place to get students better. >> Yeah, that well I was going to say IBB, but I wasn't sure. So I just thought I'd wait to hear what you guys had to say. But that's what I was thinking. I thought there was a group of people that always decided this. Well, IBB works on gathering the information um to compare the stipen schedules with other districts in the area and across the state to keep our stipen schedules competitive. >> Um IBB can only recommend if we are recommending a change >> for IBV. It always comes to the board actual approval. So IBB has no authority to modify any of the schedules. IB is a recommendation to the administration which then comes.

049>> Okay. >> Correct. Yeah. >> All right, Mr. Thank you so much for the info. I appreciate it. >> Miss Brown, >> you're welcome. Thank you. >> Uh any chance of me getting back pay for 22 years >> and Mr. We'll work on it. I'll >> just take a I'll just take a PO for a win. volunteers. Thank you. >> Yeah, >> they were volunttoled to do it. So, >> okay. So, now it's um Okay, motion. No, is there a motion? >> There's a motion to pass number 14 agenda. >> Second. >> Yeah, you got So, you did it and you second there. Okay. All right. Is there any further discussion on that matter for anybody? No. Okay. Seeing that there's none, all those in favor say I. I. All those oppose, nay. Eyes have

050it. Okay, we are now in where are we? We are adjourned. Alrighty. I adjourn this meeting at 5:41 p.m. Thank you very much everybody for listening. Appreciate everybody that comes.
