Um, the other thing I wanted to share with you guys was um I donated to I don't normally do this, but I was super sweet. When I went into my office, there was um I donated to the Cactus Canyon boys soccer team and they did a little picture of the team and then each one of the players um signed the name and just said thank you and they got new uniforms with all the business donations. So really I really liked that. So I wanted to share that. I don't normally share but I thought this was really nice of the team to do

005that. And then the last thing I had is um I was in the chamber for um paying some of my dues for last such days. Um my office promotes some of the things functions that they do. But all the years of being a member at the chamber and I did not realize um that I knew the PAC had done a lot of things but they have this it's called just like the concerts that we have at the PAC >> and I was like well I wanted to share this because if I didn't really realize all the dates and the cool things that they have in RPAC. So, if you guys ever stop into the chamber, they have um what kind of looks like this and they have a bunch of dates and you can go

006watch I guess they're like mock concerts. >> So, I wanted to share that and that's all I have. >> Thank you, Mr. Mrs. Lane. >> I feel like I feel like I did something but I can't remember. So, no nothing to report. >> Yes. Okay. [gasps] >> All right. We are going to move on to reports. Um, we're going to start with Chief Brad Calendarer, NJOTC. Dr. Papalardo, you gonna >> Madam President, members of the board, members of the community, um, students, staff, thanks for coming. Um, Chief is going to share with you um, some very exciting things that he has planned. Good evening. Can you all hear me? >> Outstanding. I didn't know if I had to have my chief voice going. So, >> good evening, board president Kimble, esteemed board members, Dr. Papa,

007thank you for giving time to speak tonight about this exciting program that we are creating over at Junction High School. What you have in front of you is a very small one pager packet of our upcoming program that is titled A3U. Now A3U stands for Apache Junction High School's Aviation, Aerospace, and Unmanned Systems Program. This is a multi-year cohort-based program that we've put together that is ultimately aimed at taking ninth graders and keeping them all the way through 12th grade, ensuring that we are teaching them both academic rigor as well as how to be good citizens in today's world. With that, we focused as we said on aviation management, aerospace engineering and unmanned systems. So that's drones, right? And ultimately we're exposing them our our students in this cohort as they're going through not only

008to their core curriculum uh that is absolutely split up with academic rigor uh but also to these uh different pathways to aviation aerospace engineering and unman systems. And so we've already partnered we're starting to work through partnerships with the Apache Junction uh police department. Uh we had a open house just a couple weeks ago which this is where all the pictures are coming from. The open house was an awesome hit and again it was an exploratory opportunity for us to see just what some of our parents were looking for in an academic program to this level, right? And so we had a great great uh evening. Uh we had Gilbert Fire come out, their battalion chief came out over their technical services. That's what the van is. And ultimately it was an opportunity for all

009of our students to see just some of the stuff that we would be able to offer with this type of program. Again, I mentioned it's cohort based and so this is something that we usually don't do, but we're we're again taking some of the best and brightest uh ways of doing business for education uh from across the nation. And so a cohort based again we do it in our M's programs etc already. This is an awesome opportunity for us to keep these students together to teach them the foundations of teamwork, uh, good moral compass, right? Uh, as well as giving them that technical ability so that way they can be successful as soon as they graduate high school. And again, whether they want to move on to college and continue into postsecary education or if

010they want to go into the workforce, we will have provided them with the skills, the tool sets needed to be extremely successful. And so I know that there's other things out there like you know uh getting into trades etc. um and they offer certifications right off the bat. However, for us we're not just giving certification or offering certifications towards the end of the program but we're making sure that these students actually know how to do this how to succeed in those fields right um we're partnering absolutely with Mesa Gateway uh the airport uh we've got for So that's our air traffic controllers and things like that. We've already talked to a handful of them, airport managers, for ground management, etc. Uh they're super excited for drones. We're talking with public safety. And so again with

011chief of police for Junction as well as Gilbert, they are absolutely so excited to come out and teach our our our children how to do some of these technical programs. And then for aerospace engineering, this is where we really get into those high level technical uh pathways, right? And so we've got people lined up for that, too. So, it's really interesting because we get to encourage the community to come help learn as well as teach our kids as we're we're moving forward, preparing them for for what's next. So, that's what we've got right now. Again, we're in the exploratory phase. Uh what you have in front of you kind of gives you an overview. Uh Any questions? >> Any questions? Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Williamson? >> No, it sounds great. >> Sound great. >> Mrs. Garcia,

012>> I don't have questions, but thank you. I think >> I think it's wonderful. Thank you very much. Dr. Papardo, is there anything you want to add? >> I think it's going to be a great program for our kids. Um, it's another pathway to looking and beyond and what kids need to come out of high school being able to do >> and to join that new work. >> Thank you so much for that. >> Appreciate it. Thank you for >> Right. Dr. Pablo, do you want me to announce the reports or you want to take over? >> I can take over. >> Sorry, take over. >> So, can we have Pam Burke and the Lions Club please come forward? Um, the Lions Club and Pam um is helped us get to that $6,000 mark of

013the for the remodel of Cactus Canyon Junior High School Field. We probably need another six or so to go. Um I'm going to let Pam talk and she can talk about what's upcoming, but we are very very appreciative of the work that has gone on to make this successful. >> Destroy your whole system here. I'm Pam Berg, Sugle Can All Lions President and here's our treasurer and one of our longtime members. We first of all just want to say our club does a lot for the community, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, and the school district is one of our most important our our financial donations because children are our future. and we wanted to be being recognized today for the $1,500, but that's just for the school for the the various things they may need. However,

014the fundraiser events like we did this summer was for a specific need and to add to things out of the box to help the school. You don't always have to beg and go for bonds and all these things. It's so complicated. we can just all have fun and go to a concert and raise some money for our children and the things they need. Now, there's another one. It'll be February 28th. It'll be a tribute band for the for Phil Collins and Genesis. It's going to be the 28th of this month. I'll have flyers. I'll put them out there. $25 for a ticket and fun. And you will be helping your school again. We love Helping Gold Canyons love to serve. That's what we do. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss BS. Let's get a picture.

I have been doing an essay contest with Apache Junction School District and uh Bill of Rights celebration for the past five years and we're here to recognize the recipients of our essay contest awards. I first I want to tell you a little bit about us because I'm always asked why are you doing this? The people who put this on Hi Pam, I didn't even recognize you today.

016Um the people who put this on are business people like my friend over there Rhonda Mason. Um people who make a living protecting our rights and being part of our government and doing their civic duty like Barbie back there. And we even have a superior court judge on our team.

Uh good evening, Madam President. board members, Superintendent Papalardo, parents, students, and staff. My name is Megan Carbiner. I'm the outreach librarian at Apache Junction Public Library. And I just want to thank you for having me this evening. I'm just going to share some updates about the library. Um, if you don't know about it, we do offer free student library cards to every student. You don't have to apply. You don't have to sign up. You don't even need a physical card. You just tell us your student ID number and you can even give us your last name for students and we can find you in our

020system. Just come to the library and tell us your number or name and you can check out three physical items at a time. And we have updated our system. So all new students from this school year have been added and we plan to do another update in case there's any new students who've come during winter break. um they can check out three physical items and this even includes our study rooms. Um any students that are under nine need to be accompanied by a parent in the library, but students nine and older can be alone in the library. They can check out a study room to work on any projects, check out books, audiobooks, use our computers, as well as online resources and databases. Uh a resource that I want to highlight is our online tutoring

021with Brainfuse. And this is available every day from 2 to 11 pm and it's in a variety of subjects. And all of the tutors go through a rigorous screening process. They have at least a four-year degree. They have prior teaching or tutoring experience. And all of the interactions are monitored live um in real time. And every session is led by a vetted expert, not AI or automated bots. So it is really great tutoring that we offer for free online. 2 to 11 p.m. every day. We also offer Wi-Fi at the library. We offer hotspots that can be checked out for a month. And we have lots of great programs for all ages. A few I want to mention. We have an afterchool Lego program starting in February as well as STEM classes every week. We

022have chess club every other Monday. And we have a great program coming up February 9th at 6 PM that is all about our constitution. It's a part of America 250 and we'll be having a discussion with local author and expert in constitutional law Shane Krower. >> Yeah, we hope you'll join us. Um, February 7th is also take your child to the library day, so we hope you'll come over. It's a Saturday, February 7th, and we're going to be having activities from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 1 to 3:00 p.m. We also have a great new partnership with Arizona at Work Panell County. There is a representative in the library 3 days a week who will help you with your resume. They'll help you search for jobs and give you one-on-one assistance. And this can be

023for students, they can help you with volunteering opportunities. It's for parents, anybody. So come to the library. Um it's Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and it is on our calendar and um they can give you assistance for job seekers. We're also having a healthc care career fair tomorrow through Arizona at Work from 1 to 5:00 p.m. And they're also leading a discussion on specifically workforce in Apache Junction in February. We have a book sale also coming up February 26th and 27th and all money goes to benefit the library. Everything 50 cents or less. And that's brought on by our friends of the library nonprofit. Uh I just want to mention anyone who lives or works in Apache Junction gets a free full access library card with where they can check out 30 physical items. They have access

024to all of our online resources and everything I've previously mentioned. So if you haven't gotten a library card, come on over and we can make you one for free. Um, I also have some flyers about our student library cards, our calendar that has all those events I mentioned, and I also have my business card on the counter. So, please take any of that information as you leave. And thank you so much for having me. >> Thank you, Megan. >> Lots of great things at the library. >> Dr. Papalardo. Well, first off, we want to say that the month of January is school board recognition month. And so, we want to thank our school board for all the hard work that goes into doing what you need to do to help AJUSD students and community achieve.

025So, we appreciate you very much and I want to make sure that you >> very nice. Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] All right. Now on to the fun stuff. Dr. Papalardo, your report. >> Yes, I have three things I want to report on. Um, the first thing I want to talk about is called Blueprint. Blueprint is a partnership between ASU and that company. And what Blueprint does, and I had all the principles and Lexus and Jeff Cox in the room when I met with Blueprint and ASU, and what they do is that they embed math tutors into your school every day to help kids learn. So, our first task is to build a roster of students for each school. those people is free of charge to us. They're all math majors. >> Nice. >>

026And so each every day students that are selected, a permission slip will go home for those students and they will receive tutoring in mathematics. Okay? And they will receive that tutoring for the entire year. Now ASU adopted us late, so it'll just be for this semester, but then it will continue. It could continue into summer school and then back into the fall. Okay. So, we're that's a great partnership for us and we're very happy that we were selected by them to do this. Um the second opportunity for our high school kids and I asked Miss Gin to join me for a webinar. So, in partnership with Grand Canyon University. Okay. Um, many of you know that they built a big manufacturing chip plant on the west side of town, TSMC, from Taiwan. Okay. So, I

027was at I was at a leadership conference there. They approached me and said, "We want you to go to this webinar and see if this is an opportunity for kids." I said, "Okay." So, the next day, I asked Lisa to come over with me. We listen to the presentation. So, it's a 11week training course. It starts next week for our seniors. Okay? There's you test in you take a test in mathematics and English. You take two courses for five weeks. There's a week break, math and English. And you take two foundational courses for their company. You test once to twice every week. Okay? And then you test out. Now, at the same time, Grand Canyon University is going to give these at no charge. There's no charge for them to attend this program. They can

028earn 16 hours of college credit. >> Okay. The starting pay if they interview with TSMC and are selected is $55,000. >> Very nice. >> They are planning to hire 100 to 200 employees for this job every year. And the pitch is they get in on the ground floor so they can become you know managers, supervisors, etc. Okay. Uh so the high school did a presentation Monday morning to their senior class. Okay. So they the students if they're interested they they uh sign an agreement with Grand Canyon and off to the races they go. Classes start at 5:00 and they go till 7:30 I believe each day Monday through Friday. So students they have to complete, they have to go, they have to do all those things to be um selected. Okay. Um the third thing

029I want to talk to you about is that uh and this will come up later when we talk about portrait of the graduate. So we're also part of NA's leadership foundation. Okay. And so reimagining schools. So I invited three of our schools principles to begin this pilot of how we reimagine schools for the future, right? Doing things differently so kids are engaged and they're ready for the workforce. Okay, working on those essential skills and workforce development which you'll hear about um when we do portrait of a graduate. But so in the second phase of this meeting when we met with the folks from NAU they are working on a national partner to partner with us so that we can move the district forward. Okay. Free of charge. >> You like free. >> I figured you

030would like the word free. Want to emphasize that three times. Free. Free. Free. You >> said it a few times. All right. Uh, so now we can do the employee recognition and students of the month. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Employees of the month. >> There's Okay. Good evening, Madame President, members of the board, Dr. Propelardo, community and fellow employees. Today, I want to recognize an Mander as transportation employee of the month. And [applause] started with our department as a part-time employee and from the beginning she showed a true commitment to our students, drivers, and team. She saw the need of our department and stepped up without hesitation, growing into the role of lead trainer and taking on student management training for our drivers. Anne brings compassion, dedication, and a positive spirit to everything

031she does, and we are truly grateful to have her in our department. >> [applause] >> Congratulations. What's next? Student of the month who's beginning say Desert Vista, come on up. Oh, she's here. Wait a minute. Oh, the Elks Club's here. There they are. Me and this do not get along. We are not friends. All right. U Madame President, members of the board, Dr. Papa Lardo, members of the community, colleagues and families. Um I'm Kelly Fant. I'm the principal of Desert Vista and I'm honored to represent uh two of our exceptional kindergarten students for you tonight. Our first Mustang is Elelliana Dazzo. [applause] I recently had the chance to get to know Elelliana and she shared some wonderful things about herself. Her favorite thing about Desert Vista is all of her friends and she especially enjoys

032art class which she says is her favorite and she proudly shared that she thinks that she's a pretty good artist. In art class, they've been working on feathers and Elelliana's design included rainbows, thunder, and rain. Right. That's what she told me. And even though she admits she's not a big fan of thunder or rain, her favorite color is blue, which shows up often in her artwork, and she's even wearing blue tonight as well. When Elelliana is at home, she enjoys playing on her tablet, especially a game where you can create animals. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Elelliana shared that she would love to be a teacher like Miss Tardiff. Miss Tardiff is here tonight. and made sure to add that she'll need a computer for that job. Kind of

033important. We're so excited to have Elelliana as part of the Desert Visitors family and can already see her creativity, friendships, and big dreams shining through. Miss Tardiff says, "We are grateful to have Ellie on in our class this year. She consistently shows strong leadership skills. She takes initiative during activities, helps classmates follow routines, and models positive behavior. She's a great and always willing to help out peers and adults throughout the day. Elelliana has made significant growth academically. She puts forth much effort in all she does and takes pride in her work. She works meticulously adding details to her wow pictures and writing her letters neatly. Congratulations, Elelliana. We love your positive attitude. Keep smiling. [applause] And if you're lucky enough, you can see those really cute dimples. Our second incredible Mustang is Phoenix Rogers. Come

034on up, Phoenix. When I had the opportunity to talk with Phoenix, I asked him what he loves most about Desert Vista. Without hesitation, he shared that his favorite thing is the teachers because quote, "They teach you everything that you want to learn about." >> His favorite site word is the I mean, it's all of our favorites, right? excited about growing as a reader. Phoenix also loves playground time and lunch, especially when pizza's on the menu. His favorite colors are gold and silver, which he says are cool and they're very strong colors. I never would have thought of that. That's not wrong. When he's at home, he enjoys playing with his remote control cars, racing his brother with the cars, and jumping on the trampoline. When asked what he wants to be when he grows up,

035he took a moment to think and he proudly answered, "Strong." He plans to accomplish that by working out with his dad and even enjoys using the treadmill at home. He can't do that at the gym, but at home he can. As a final message, Phoenix shared something very important to him. So I asked him, I said, "Is there anything else you want to share?" He said he wants to listen to his teachers so he can learn and not miss anything. >> Miss Paige, his teacher, who is also here tonight, says, "Fix is a wonderful role model in our classroom. He is consistently well- behaved and always treats both adults and classmates with respect. Phoenix puts forth but his best effort in all of his classwork and takes pride in doing the right thing. He is

036also very kind and thoughtful, often offering help and encouragement to classmates who may be struggling. His positive attitude, strong work work ethic, and willingness to support others makes him truly deserving of the student of the month recognition. We are proud to have both of these remarkable students as part of our Desert Vista family. Congratulations to both of you. [applause] So, I'd like to bring up Miss Broxma, principal of Four Peaks. >> All right. Governing board president, board members, uh, Dr. Papalardo, family, colleagues, community members, I am honored to present to you two of Four Peaks Elementary student of the months. Sorry, I see expressions. They're excited. [laughter] So, we will start with bringing up Madison. Richard's [applause] I'm telling you as principles this is the best part meeting with them oneonone getting to talk to

037them and they make you laugh. I'm still thinking of some of the conversations. Um so this is Madison. She is a first grade student in her second year of the dual language program. Madison is a lively, kind, and thoughtful young lady who loves to learn. When asked about her experience in the dual language program, Madison shared the following. She says, "I enjoy learning new things in Spanish and like being challenged." She added, "Now I can read, sing songs, and write in Spanish, which she couldn't do before." which um she says, "I also learned that doing math in Spanish is similar to English, but the language used is different, but it's the same thing." She says her favorite aspect of Four Peaks is her teachers, Miss Sanchez and Miss Renzulli. She appreciates how much she learns

038in their classes, and her favorite subject is art. Her teacher, Miss Sanchez, says that Madison is a wonderful example of a student who always does her best. She is responsible, kind, and someone I can always count on. She helps keep her our classroom organized, and is very caring with her classmates. Madison is very bright and shows great interest in all of our academic and extracurricular activities. She also loves to dance and is learning finish very quickly. I am so proud of her and feel very blessed to have her in my class. Congratulations, Madison, for representing Four Peaks as our student of the month. All right, our next one is Gabriel. All right, so this is Gabriel McIll. is also a first grade student and he is in Miss Muhoer's class. Gabriel says um that he

039loves to learn about new things. His favorite thing to do at home is homework and watch his favorite show on TV. Uh Gabriel shared that he is good at all subjects. I asked why and he says because he tries his very best in what he does. Gabriel shared that uh one thing about one personal thing he shared he says I love that my dad lets me cook with him. When I grow up I want to be a chef because I want to make food for other people. When I also asked well the first time I asked him what do you want to be when you grow up? He says a dad. I said really can I share this? And I said you want to be a dad but are you going to have a wife?

040What? A wife? No. So now he wants to be a chef. That's why I'm still laughing. I think it was You're so funny. All right. Miss Muer says that Gabriel McKill is an outstanding role model for his peers. He is always looking out for others, helping them to feel better or helping them with classwork. He showers all others with his kindness. He excels in his academic, making more progress every day. He shows great effort in completing his assignments. Gabriel's hard work has allowed him to receive this award. Gabriel is our student of the month because he demonstrates responsibility and pride in his learning each day. Gabriel's positive attitude and effort in school and class make him truly a deserving student of the month for January. Congratulations, Gabriel. All right, I'd like to invite Pat Smith,

041the principal, and Peralta Trump. Good evening, Madame President, members of the board, Dr. Papalardo, community, family. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. It is my privilege and honor as the proud principal of Peralta Trail to present two of our amazing Bobcats to you. At this time from Mrs. Day's class, thank you Mrs. Day for being here to recognize your student as well. I'd like to invite up Alexander Carr. Mrs. Day shares with me that Alexander is a joyful mix of silliness and smarts. He brightens our classroom with his humor and curiosity. I'm so proud of his academic growth and growing confidence. In math, he's become a real wiz, tackling problems with enthusiasm, and his reading is improving as he reads more independently and retells stories with details. He's kind to classmates and

042willing to try new challenges. Keep shining, Alexander. Your teacher, Mrs. Day, is so proud of you. And today I wanted to spend a little time with Alexander. And so I asked him what he loves most about being a student at Peralta Trail. He said, "Going outside." And I thought, "Oh, of course going outside." But he shared with me because I can be nice and I can help people when they fall down. And he does have that generous heart. I then asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up. and he shared that he wants to be a policeman so he can arrest bad guys. So then he thought about it and I just waited patiently and for a moment and then when I mentioned our SRO, Officer Garcia, he didn't use words. He

043gave me two thumbs up because we all love officer Garcia. He's an amazing role model and he said, "I want to be just like him when I get older." We are all so proud of you, Alexander, and know you are going to do great things. Keep up the hard work and doing the great things you are at Peralta Trail. Congratulations on your award. Our next student is from Mrs. Puly Matua's class and she is actually here. Thank you again, Mrs. Py Matua, for being here to recognize your student. And at this time, I would like to call up Kinsley Warren. Kinsley is an exemplary student with a strong work ethic. She completes assignments carefully and on time, shows solid understanding in math and English, and reads fluently with well-known site words. She asks thoughtful question,

044uses feedback to improve, and willingly helps classmates. Her positive attitude, organization, and kindness make her a pleasure to teach. I look forward to her continued growth. Kinsley is a leader, and so today when I spent the time with her, I was just so curious to learn more about her and how she she how she sees this um world of ours. And she shared with me when I asked her what she thought she was doing, why she was doing so well and loved kindergarten at school, she said because she loves to help people because it makes her happy. When she gets older, are you ready for this? She wants to fix cars. >> Oh, >> so she can be with her dad and she and I see her as that future mechanic, but I see her

045as that business owner. She has a strong mind and such a leader. And so when I shared that with her, I said, "Are you going to own your own business one day?" What did you say? >> Yes. And so I just appreciate the time that I've gotten to know both of my kindergarten students who are being recognized tonight. They are amazing Bobcats. So congratulations to Kinsley on your award. Keep smiling, keep shining bright, both of you, and being the fabulous Bobcats and people you are. Congratulations. >> At this time, I'd like to invite up Mr. Brett Berman, the principal at the classical academy at Superstition Mill. Beautiful as always. [sighs] Uh, Madam President, board members, Superintendent Papalardo, Superstition Mountain Classical Academy would like to honor second grade student Elsie Frolic. Elsie's teacher, Miss Rice, calls

046her a star. She always puts 100% into everything she is doing. She includes everyone, making sure no one feels left out. She comes to school with a smile on her face and makes everyone laugh with her silliness. She is determined. Not silly at all, are you? She is determined and makes sure that she does her work to the best of her ability. I actually interviewed students this time, principles, because you were showing me up every time. I asked Elsie, "What would you tell a new student about our school?" And Elsie replied, "I would say that it is fun and then I would ask them to play outside at recess." I asked her, "Which virtue do you use most at your school?" and she looked at me and she goes, "Temperence and fortitude. If I ever

047get mad, I stay good in my actions and try to be in my own world with my words." Um, she also told me that she has never been in the principal's office. So, that was her first time. Congratulations. The class of academy would also like to honor from Mr. Weby's class in the fourth fifth grade, fifth grader Daniel Lampier. Daniel usually has so much more fun. His teacher says he brings so much fun and positive energy to his classroom every single day. He is doing an amazing job with his schoolwork and getting top grades. It has been wonderful to watch how Daniel has really settled in and grown in scholarly focus as the school year has gone on. We are proud of how hard Daniel is working. I too asked Daniel the same questions. Daniel

048when asked about what he would tell a new student, he said that is it a great place to make friends because of the size of the campus. On which virtue he uses most frequently? Daniel stated that he uses temperance more than anything. I thought this is perfect. He says because I put myself in a good state and I am able to listen more. Congratulations Daniel and Elsie [applause] from Cactus Canyon. Principal Obar. Thank you for having me board members, Madame President, Dr. Pardo, and most importantly, family and community. Um, I get the privilege tonight of actually announcing three because one of ours we want to recognize um we want to make sure that they are not overseen and didn't get recognized in December. So that first one is Riley Felix. So I got a few

049kind words from teachers and staff members I want to share first about Riley. Um Riley is a kind, dedicated, hardworking learner. She's consistently demonstrating a willingness to help others and shows genuine care for her classmates. She holds responsible for her hard studying hard and always completes her assignments and determination and with determination and pride. She arrives on time every day ready to learn and is an excellent self- advocate never hesitating to ask thoughtful questions or seek clarification when needed. Her positive attitude, strong work e ethic, and support supportive nature make her a wonderful role model for others. A few things about Riley. Um, she was asked to give us three words that best describe her, and she says nice, caring, and loving. Um, she was asked what goal she's currently working towards, whether it be

050a school goal or not. And she says to get better at volleyball and to become a great baker. um if you could invent anything, what would it be? And she says, "As long as it's something to help people." And last, and it goes with ties with what her goal was. She said, "What's her dream job once she graduates high school?" She says she wants to be a professional baker. Congratulations, Riley. >> [applause] >> Um, the next student we want to recognize for our January student of the month is Ivana Cortez Nunes. Few things about her. Kind words from teachers and staff. Ivana is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and serves on the executive board as the vice president. She's highly motivated and supportive of the other members in the group. She's very

051respectful, helpful in the classroom. She's always ready to help her peers, and completes all of her work. Ivana is such a pleasure to have in class. She's always focused on being the best student she can be, and she's willing to help her peers and sets a good example for others. She volunteers her time after school, helping at events, and serving in our community. Then, a few things about her with a questionnaire that we asked. Um, she says, uh, we asked who's a role model for you and why. She says, I think it's my favorite teacher, Miss Burn, because she's the best and I want to be a teacher because of her. Um, we asked, "What's your greatest strength as a student?" I think having a growth mindset. We've been working a lot on that. I'd

052love to hear that. And, "What was one goal that you're currently working on either inside or outside of school?" and she says she's working on getting as much community service as she possibly can. Congratulations. Thank you. Our next one for January is Eastston Bush. Couple things from staff and teachers about Eastston. He brings a positive attitude to class and is always engaged. He makes class fun by participating and asking questions that everybody else was thinking. Eastston consistently demonstrates NJOTC core values through his punctuality, preparedness, and positive attitude. As a new cadet, new cadet, he has quickly become a dependable presence in class, attentive, respectful, and eager to learn. He asks thoughtful questions, follows directions, and sets a strong example for his peers, making him a welldeserving choice for student of the month. Some things about

053Eastston. Um, he was also asked what three words best describe him. He says tall, kind, and hardworking. Um, what's your greatest strength as a student? He says, being able to get along with lots of different people. That's a great skill to have. And then what is his dream job after he graduates high school? He says, "Something that will allow me to travel around the world." Congratulations. Thank you. Now I get to invite up Miss Gin, the principal of Apache Junction High School. >> All right. Thank you, Mrs. Oar. Hello. I'm Lisa Gin. As she just told you, I'm the principal at the high school. Good madam president, governor board, Dr. and community. I'm so happy to see you here and honor two of our great students that we get to have on campus every day.

054So, Miles Haven and his family could not be here this evening, but I just want to double check. They had another commitment. Okay. So, just going to tell you a little bit about Miles and still honor him. So, he says his favorite subject in school is science because he likes learning the why and how things work. His hobby is he loves gaming. I have liked it for a long time. He says and someone who inspires you and how my dad he's a very hardworking person and he helps me if you could have any superpower what would it be and why? And he says I would have the ability to be super fast because it would help with getting places and doing so quickly. I love that. All right. And then last but not least, advice

055you'd give to other students to be successful. He says, "If you're stuck, find and ask someone who can help." All right. And then just going to tell you what a couple of his teachers said. So, u Mr. King, his biology teacher said, "Miles is a model student in making smart decisions and clearly understands the importance of integrity." and and oh, I just looked away. Integrity and honesty in the classroom and in his actions. And then Miss Cly says, "Miles is an outstanding student. He leads by example. He always does his best and helps others along the way." All right, that is Miles Haven. Congratulations out there somewhere. And then tonight, I'd like to also welcome up Denise Paredus. Denise is a proud ninth grader at the high school and her favorite subject is biology because

056she feels it's really interesting and it's the one subject that interests her. All those other ones are not interesting. Okay. The hobby and activity you love outside of school is drawing and painting. someone who inspires her and how she says my mother because she's a person who shows me how to get through hard things and she basically raised me my whole life. If she could have a superpower be telepathy because it would be so cool and I like the idea around it. I like it too. That's would be cool. Okay. Advice you'd give to other students to be successful. set goals for yourself so that you can actually achieve and be sure to take care of yourself and get rest. That's awesome. And now a couple of her teachers say this is from Mr. Calig,

057her math teacher. He says, "Denise is a joy to have in class. Though she is quiet, her perseverance to fully understand the lesson is loud. She stays on top of her assignments and always willing to help her classmates. And Mrs. Marshall says Denise demonstrates responsibility, perseverance, and a positive attitude every day. She consistently puts forth her best effort, participates in class, and treats others with kindness and respect. Congratulations, Denise. We're lucky to have you as a prospector. Okay, it's picture time. >> [laughter] >> Don't move. One more. Congratulations. >> All right, we're going to take a 10-minute break. Okay, we are going to resume our meeting in public. On to item three, consent agenda. A motion to approve the consent as presented. Would somebody like to second? >> Miss Garcia seconds. Mrs. Ross, >> yes.

058>> Mrs. Williamson, >> yes. >> Mrs. Garcia, >> yes. >> Mrs. Lean, >> yes. >> And I'm yes. That motion passes 5 to zero. >> Okay. On to public comments. Mrs. G, any public comments? No. Okay. Information and discussion items. 5.1. Portrait of a graduate by Dr. Papalardo. >> Madam President, members of the board, um, colleagues and guests, portrait of a G graduate. Um, as I spoke about in the work session, I've been a part of this group for about 15 16 months. trying to develop what's the next part for our kids statewide. There are 1.5 million children in in schools, whether that's district schools, micro schools, charter schools, private um tribal schools, there's 1.5 million. All of them are racing racing ahead to 2030 and beyond. What we try to define is what are

059those core skills that they would need to be successful once you're out of high school. Okay. things like when we when um Chief Canandler talked about the program he wants to offer, right? The new technologies, uh the jobs that TSMC, Intel, and others have for high school graduates, what qualifies them to be able to do that job on day one out of high school. Okay. So, if I can get you to go back to the other um Y see 48. Perfect. So, here what we're trying to do here with my work with with Chad Geston and Leanne Lindsay who we're still working with as partners right now, we tried to develop a framework and there was hundreds of us. Okay, so this is not one person's work. These are parents. These are business people who

060own businesses. These are state leaders, superintendent, teachers, etc. Trying to come up with a plan of what this would look like for our kids from birth to the end of high school. Okay? Because that's where that's where it starts. It starts at home first and then we collect them. Okay? So, if I can get you to go up to sorry, I want you to go to state 48 graduate profile. Can you scroll up a little bit so they can see that? And at a glance, it talks about four different futures. Do you see that? Hang on. It looks like this page. Right. Stop right there. Okay. So, let's look at the four futures that four pathways for our kids is another way to say that, right? What pathway they're going to take. Whether that they

061enroll somewhere, whether that's a trade school like TSMC, whether that's a university, whether that's a community college, whatever. Or are they going to come right out and go get a job, go get be employed? Are they going to enlist in the service? Are they going to go in the Peace Corps or something else of that nature out of high school? Or are they going to want to start their own business, right? Looking at those four different pathways for kids. So then we looked at, if you'll scroll up a little bit, it says the eight essentials, right? What would they have to know? What are the core things they have to be able to perform coming out of our high school, right? Knowledge and literacy, right? Digital fluency, critical thinking, and the ability to problem solve,

062to be creative, and to be innovative, to be self-aware, and to manage yourself. And you heard that in the student of the month, right? They talked about that. Right? Each of them how they managed themselves or held themselves. The ability to be adaptable to the future and become lifelong learners. The ability to collaborate and to communicate and what are your ethics and what are your impact. Okay. So looking at those those eight essentials is what we are trying to and you scroll up a little bit more to the four futures, right? It gives you that breakdown that I just went over followed by what are the competencies? Go solar on the competencies and mindset so they can see those. What are the foundational knowledges and literacies the graduate of the future is going to have

063to have? Right? That that's our emphasis digitally. What do they need to do? What is that critical thinking and problem solving look like? What does it mean to be creative and to be an innovative thinker? in 2030 and beyond. So, we're trying to prepare kids for a future that we don't know exactly how that's going to look, right? It's the same problem we've always had, but it's now it's at a faster rate because everything's faster now. Okay. We haven't had a portrait of a graduate USD. Um, state 48 I believe fills that bill for us. Now, when I speak with Lindsay and I speak with Chad, you can't do State 48 without doing AI. That's their future, right? There's a wave there and that wave has come very fast in five years, right? You can

064now buy a robot for your house and it'll put away your dishes, vacuum your house, do all those things. Okay. All right. Please. Yeah, I got it. Okay. But those things are true. So, if I could get you please to move to the AGI part of that. And I don't I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time here, but I want to give you Could you go to the part looks like this? that says guiding principles. Yeah. So, we're looking to have on teaching and learning teaching and learning a positive impact to enhance the teaching, learning and the leadership in that classroom. Okay? To support student thinking, not replace it. Okay, we're not looking for a replacement here. We want the students thoughts. The teacher is the expert in the classroom. That remains

065to be true. Okay. So, we want to establish clear expectations for the AI for kids in their assignments and in their assessments. So, I'm going to have you scroll to the place. You're going to see a green, yellow, red. It says sidekick. Your AI sidekick. It looks like this. Leon. Students and teachers have to know when to use it, when it's appropriate, when it's not, and how to ethically use it. Right. If you go back to when we introduced a calculator into the classroom, you all remember that? That was fun. They're cheating. Well, maybe they're not because everybody has one. Okay. Okay. So, if you go to the red light, if you scroll up, you see red light. Okay. The teacher decides there you're not to use AI here. I just want your thought. Okay.

066Yellow light, you get to refine your ideas. Okay? And green light, it's your collaborator. Okay? So th those are the frameworks. But the teacher has to instill that in the classroom what he or she wants so that kids can move along this continuum to have digital fluency, to learn how to collaborate, to learn how to communicate, to be fluent in those tools. Okay. Okay, that's fine. >> All right. Any questions for Dr. Papalo? Mrs. Ross, [clears throat] >> Mrs. Williams? >> No. Mrs. Garcia, >> so your whole point of like the the red, yellow, green, >> is to still stick to the basics of letting them acknowledge of what they're comprehending. And then the teacher will instruct point they want to them to do those certain colors. >> You're right on target. That's correct. Right.

067The teacher decides >> when it's when it's to expand their thinking, when it's their collaborator, but most importantly first and foremost, you want to know what they think, right? >> Yeah. >> Because it's not going to replace that. >> Any questions, Mrs. >> No, no questions. I think it's great. So basically this is the teacher will be doing the instruction. >> Yes. >> And then they will tell the student when they're allowed, >> right, >> to be able to utilize the >> So for instance, uh we have Kamigo. Okay. >> Kamigo is all AI, right? >> The teacher assigns it based on what the student needs, right? And they go through the lesson. Okay? And it helps generate what the next question should be or or if the kid can But the teacher still has

068to be that check to make sure that learning has taken place because it's not a click and go program >> because it means the student's going to get held up, >> right? >> Okay. >> So, so it's not like they have free rain. >> They don't. >> Okay. >> What was your question? >> I just said they don't have free in the classroom. So it has to be by instruction. >> She um she asked how is that going to be controlled? >> I mean all these a lot of kids have cell phones already right on your phone or wherever. I mean it's just I don't see how are they going to control this. >> They have a no cell phone policy. >> Well what we know is I can't hear you. >> Her mic her

069mic is on. Okay. I can't hear I can't hear what she's saying. >> Yeah, we we know outside of school, >> right? >> They 100% using it 247, right? >> However, when you talk to students, they don't know how to appropriately use it. >> Our job is to build in that e ethics and what are those guard rails of when you use that for your learning because I don't If I want to fix something, I I go look it up. [snorts] I don't call the handyman anymore. I go right. I I look it up and then if I Now it's double. >> But the same thing kids are doing right now, right? So we have to build some guard rails in there knowing that, right? We we need to go fast or we need to

070go slow to go fast. Kids are already taking off. They're way ahead of >> the faculty. Okay. In almost every aspect of that. So, our job is to bring the faculty along with this title two money that we have um so they can catch up or begin to play catch up, I should say. Okay, >> there are also programs that can detect if the student is using AI to hand in stuff. So, >> for sure. >> Any other questions? Good. You guys ready to move on? Going on to action items. See 6.1 approval of the kindergarten screening fee increase in the amount of $75 effective May 1st, 2026. Any questions on that? So, I think it was $50 and it's being increased to 75. Any questions, M. No. >> Miss Williamson? >> No. >> Mrs.

071Garcia? >> No. >> Mrs. >> Nope. Somebody like to make a motion on the fee increase. >> Madam President, like to make a motion to approve the kindergarten screening fee increase of the amount of $75 effective May 1st, 2026. >> We have a motion with somebody like second. >> Second. >> M seconds.

Does anyone else? >> Well, they I think they should go ahead. Mrs. Ross, you have any questions? >> Mrs. Williamson. >> Um,

072this was for that when we had that company come in, correct? >> Yeah. >> Okay. No question. >> No, Dr. Papo. >> No, it's not. >> What is this for again? >> So, this is for the person who works on our network >> who's not who's a contractor with us. >> So, because we have set the limit, I've asked the board to set $25,000. >> So, when it goes past that amount, I bring it to you. >> Right. Right. This is for that >> exceeded amount. >> Yeah. >> Okay. No questions, Mr. Garcia. >> Okay. So, Dr. Papalardo, this he's this person here or she's a vendor, correct? >> That is correct. >> Okay. So, they're not So, a vendor meaning that we are paying them to help us work on the network. >> Correct.

073>> Okay. Um, so when there's an issue with the network, then what What happens after that? Do they >> We Sorry, I'll let you finish the question. >> Yeah, I'm just So, when they're looking at it and they're seeing the problems, >> right, >> then what happens? Do we have the funds to be able to fix the problems? >> Yes, we they either fix it remotely or our team fixes it. >> Okay. Or we call someone in because we need a part or whatever we need for the network to run correctly. >> And you and we don't have that internally right now. We don't have that person on staff. That's correct. >> Okay. And if we had somebody on staff, would it be more expensive? >> If we had somebody on staff, what would that

074look like? >> So, if you had someone on staff, you're probably playing between 70 and $100,000. >> Somewhere in that ballpark. This we approved this last year, >> right?

Correct. >> Just because of >> where you where you're not paying benefits, you're not paying a full salary >> and the and the network is stable and it's working. >> Okay. >> All right. Somebody like to make a motion to approve the network consulting service.

Under this partnership, AJ USD will serve as a hub for students ages 16 to 22 who have not yet graduated. The district will receive 20% of the average daily membership generated through this program. Any questions on that? >> Ros's But there was someone who was heading up our dropout program, you know, or you know getting our kids to not drop out. >> So that not doing that anymore.
