There have been no committee meetings, but committee information is included in the agenda in the form of resolutions. Dr. Tamian, do you have an update? >> I do, Madam Vice President. Thank you. And good evening, Sear Grove School community. I hope everyone is enjoying these summer days and getting some much needed rest, relaxation, and time with friends and family. I have
003a few updates for our community this evening. As many may already know, we are very close to breaking ground on our new multi-purpose varsity baseball turf field this summer. We expect we expect this project will run six to eight weeks and will be concluded before the end of October. So, it will be fully functional for our spring season. Also on tonight's agenda, we are submitting various applications for referendum projects to be evaluated by the DOE for approval. We continue to target March 2026 as the date we would like to have some mix of these referendum projects out for a community vote. Last month, we put a survey into the community to ask for volunteers to participate in focus group meetings with me. I am very excited to share that over 100 community members have signed
004up to join one of our 10 focus group meetings. These groups will meet with me over the next two weeks. We will gather all of the feedback from these groups into a final report that I will also share back with the community by the middle of September. Thank you in advance to all those who have volunteered to join me to share this valuable feedback. And please know the final design of our referendum is still not yet decided. The feedback from the community will deeply inform the overall design. One other note about items on our agenda this evening. Tonight I am reporting about our 2324 school year. HIV grades self- assessment. Our overall scores fell within a range of 62 to 72 out of a total of 78 points. Going forward, we will continue to prioritize
005professional development for our school leaders and ABS counselors with regards to HIV investigations and determinations. In closing, thank you to all of our teachers and staff who made our Lego and music camps another smashing success this summer. It is great to see how much our community supports these camps and we greatly appreciate it. And with that, I conclude my report. >> Thank you. >> All right, lots of good things happening.
