001I'm also online as well. Oh yeah, I can uh it just worked. You see how this is turning? Yeah, right. [Music] Jared, it looks like uh Secretary SO is also on Mr. Bye over. Ready? Good. Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Thursday 2025 work session meeting. Go ahead and call this meeting to order to uh to verify a form. Mr. Wells. Uh not present but accounted for. President I'm here vice president. So I am present as well. Thank you. Mospus and myself time is 5:35. Item two, comments from the audience. Yes, Ray. I believe the only one that you handed was the one that you gave to me on the ear. Yes, that is correct. I don't have any online. Thank you. Thank you. In order to recognize staff or community members from the audience
002who wish to speak to the board, we ask that you fill out present it to the board president prior to the start of the meeting. Please limit your comments to more than three minutes. Select one person to speak. The board requests your cooperation resolving issues or concerns by asking you to follow a chain of command and consult with the appropriate school district prior to discussing the issue with the board. Doing so will usually result in more public comments and observations regarding non agenda items at all. responsibility of the board may be heard at this time. Although board members may provide a short response, the board is not able to discuss matters not agenda. Comments regarding matters under litigation will not be allowed. We are interested and concerns. Thank you. submitted by Miss Hello. Hello. This
003is Christina Aspus. I come off the board my board seat and come to the podium for this um public comment. Um, I have asked before about putting a a legal subject on the agenda and it didn't it didn't get on this time again. So I believe for my constituent sake, the community I represent, I point of order and the state point of point of order has be in regards to the point of order. I'm assuming Miss asked, but it's going to be a general comment and not specific. And um I've asked for the item um pertaining to legal and questions. And as I was saying, the family and community uh meeting that was held, there was a question regarding legal fees. So, um, to reach out to my district and my constituents, I feel that
004this is the alternative that I have. And I um I know that there's some questions you have and lobbyists and when lobbyists were hired supposedly by the board and um those questions are still and I've asked for it to be a item on the agenda and not executive. But um I think if we look at our board legal, our board attorney's phone, we'll see texts going back and forth to the president. So I just want my constituents to know that. Thank you. Since there are no further comments, we can move on to item three, reports. A 247 tobaccof free schools by Sam Colbo. Mr. Columbo. Hi there. I'm Sam Colbo um with 247. Good evening to the board and the superintendent. Um I will pass it over to Billy to do most of the presentation
005who's one of our youth advocates. Okay, good evening board meetings board president and superintendent. My name is Bay Husky and I am a junior from New High School and this is my dy year in a minute. Armet is a USD movement working to decreasing the harmful and indigenous use of tobacos. One of the campaigns we have working on since 20205 is a 247. The 247 campaign is helping New Mexico school district with having tration tobacco free school policy and I had meeting with my principal three years in a row to talk about 24/7 and making sure they have resources they need to to be tobacco free. running different events like the hunter house at newcome to educate and build support from students and staff. Since joining a vomit, I have I have learned to come
006out coming out my shell and build better communication public speaking skill. I care about 247 because I just want everyone to be safe and happy normal day with their focus on learning and not nicotine addiction. Now I wanted to talk about the district tobacco policy on our capation policy. Tobacco use pation and district is not allowed by anyone anywhere at any time 24/7 a day 7 days a week. In November November 2023, the New Mexico public tobacco policy. This was largely because of students like me crossing the state pushing for this change. Cra School is doing a good job we can make it the healthy students staff and resil we renew discrimination by adopting its tobacco policy to be truly tobacco free and meet the P standard. I'll talk for a little bit about what
007that means. Um, and thank you to Assistant Superintendent Pete Deswood for inviting the ability to speak. Um, I managed the 247 campaign statewide. Um, and we review we've worked with the district before on updating policies, which has been great. Um, I believe the I reviewed the current policies for staff and students regarding nicotine updated in 2023. um and the policies seem to have been updated back to not meet the standards. So um in 2023, JICG and JBED were updated again and are missing some of those comprehensive ponent components that are required by um NMAX 624. In order to have a comprehensive policy, I'll just highlight a few of the updates that we'd need to make. Again, um the tobacco policies for students, staff, and school personnel must read that the use, distribution, and possession of
008all nicotine products is prohibited at all times. So, the main thing to add in the current policy is at all times or 247. Additionally, the school policy must specify that schools will provide referrals and resources to help students and staff overcome addiction um as well as require progressive and supportive discipline measures for students. We have examples of what that means in the 247 toolkit, which I sent a copy over to the district after meeting with assistant superintendent last month, and I'm happy to send more copies or lead you to our virtual toolkit. But as a partner and resource to central schools, we're here to help every step of the way to make sure the policies are comprehensive. Um, and if the district wants to set up any further meetings to discuss this, I'd love to
009help however I can. But I'll pass it back over to Billy to wrap up really quickly and talk about how we can support. Okay, so the 247 campaign has a great way to support your school in a policy and making these updates. The new PDS rules require district to surprise the school with property signs. We can we can provide tobacco free signs at 247 kit and financing training resources to all school in your district at no cost. We offer a free pay attention to middle school and elementary school class and be having a wet taking for taking the time to learn about the 21st cent. We hope that to continue helping Citrus School make the necess necessary change to the policy to be up the dates with the PE new school rules and better protect
010the student staff and resident of and thank you for your time and listening to me and Billy talk about 247. Thank you, Miss Colbo. Hi. You can call me Sam. Did you did you have any um do you have a presentation or anything to show as for for the board to look at and review? Um what I do have is um the toolkit which I already sent a physical copy to the district office that just goes over everything you need to update the policy as well as all of the resources to enforce and implement it well. Um, but I am happy to do like a physical analysis and give that to the district as well if that is helpful um to just make it as easy as possible to update the policy. Yeah, that would
011be nice. So that way we can have something to look at and read and possibly come up with some questions if we need. Yeah, definitely. Um, I know back in 2018, I'm unsure what happened because I wasn't the campaign manager back in 2018, but I know in 2018 the district did update the policies to be 100% comprehensive, which was great. Um, so basically it would just be going back to those. I'm not sure what um what happened that they were like updated back to not be comprehensive in 2023, but um basically I can just send you a copy of the policy that you had which was already comprehensive. All right. Thank you. Um I'll open it up to the board. Does board have any questions? I have a question. Yeah, Miss No, this was this
012M. Well, I believe Mr. Wells, she uh acknowledged first then you after she's done you can go ahead. Go ahead. I my question is are are you up on the tribal laws as far as regarding tobacco? Yes. So the pet rule has exceptions for ceremonial and sacred use of tobacco. So, if that happens at school, um specifically like ceremonial and sacred tobacco, that will not be an issue. Um usually that gets approved by the school when there's ceremonies, but that's definitely not included. And we're focused on like commercial tobacco products. Okay. I it's been a while since since um policy has been read and um and that was one thing that um you know some of our our our school officials could could um mistaken for tobacco is like our mountain smoke things like that
013that are associated with um um ceremonial. So, I was just wondering um you know if you are familiar um as far as the reservation laws. I'm not well verssed on what the reservation laws are. Um I do know when we worked with the peed on the updates, we made sure that one of the exe exceptions um which I can highlight in an email if you'd like. Um, basic 61249B um, states that it's not a violation for for tobacco to be used as part of an indigenous p practice or lawfully recognized religious, spiritual or cultural ceremony. Um, so if that happens within the district, that would be totally fine. We're focused to absolutely on commercial products because sacred and ceremonial smoke and tobacco is not harmful addictive the way that commercial tobacco. Thank you. Good. Of
014course, good question. Thank you, Mr. Wells. I'm assuming that there one of the reasons for this is that it's uh posing a a greater risk than before. And are we talking about smokeless tobacco or um smoke uh smoked tobacco? So we're talking about all nicot all commercial tobacco and nicotine products. Um this includes smokeless tobacco, vapes, um any sort of way that nicotine is administered. Um that is not with the exception of course that we just talked about with ceremonial and sacred use, but any commercial tobacco product would be prohibited. uh commercial. I'm assuming you're talking about not medicinal as in a patch to get somebody off nicotine. Yeah. So that I think is those would go through the school on a case- by case basis, but we um schools can work with students as
015a part of their um progressive discipline and support to make sure that they have um things like patches or or gums or whatever it is that they're using as a tool to quit. However, like if a student just has like gum on them because they want to get nicotine during school, that would not be allowed. How pervasive is this? Um, can you I guess be more specific, how big a problem is it in the school district? every year. Um I believe we did we did surveys last year which I can pull up the infographics for that um and send them to the board. Um they every year the students at Newcome High School will collect surveys that talk about what people are seeing in regards to tobacco products at school. Um so I can pull
016up those infographics and email them to you. Um would you put your email in the chat so I can make sure you get that? I'll see if I can figure out how to do that. Great. And if you can't, then maybe someone else can. Superintendent, can you put your email address in the chat and then send it send it to all the board members? Thank you. I can do that. I can make it available for everyone. Perfect. So after um the meeting, I'm happy to send over the peed rule so you can take a closer look, get together um our model policy to send um and the infographics from last year surveys that were collected so you can have an idea of what we've been seeing at schools um this past year. That's all I
017have. I have another question. Thank you. And yes, uh, Miss Ospus, Superintendent Carlson, is um, didn't we buy a detector for that for one of the schools? We have vape detectors in in our high schools and middle schools. And, you know, just to answer, um, I I guess if it's a problem or not. So, I figured that's why you purchased that detector. Yes, ma'am. Uh, as a matter of fact, so we have we have problems with tobacco, but also with uh THC usage as well. Um, it's real easy for students to to just kind of pull out a vape. They don't even need a lighter. They just can hit it up. And, um, over the last few years, that's become an increasing problem in our our district is across the country, too, of course. So,
018some are tobacco, some are more than tobacco. Yes. Um and definitely a comprehensive policy would prohibit not just nicotine but as other mindaltering substances as well which would include THC. Um so yeah, good point. It's definitely pretty easy for people to bring whatever in vape form to the school. Are there any other questions? Any other questions from the board? I have none. Yeah, I I think what's being discussed is covered under board policy J-3000 JJCJ and it talks about uh use and use possession distribution of uh tobas tobacco products, ecigarettes and nicotine liquid containers, alcoholic beverages, mood altering substances and illegal drugs is are prohibited pretty much anywhere in school grounds and that's in the the policy regarding students. Yes, correct. So there are currently policies in place. Um the couple things that I highlighted
019which I'm happy to send an email form as well were um making sure it talk it mentions at all times or 247 because um that's a loophole people could use. Um but that was one of the main things as well as progressive supportive discipline. Um, and those were two of the major things that the policy doesn't have, but um, it definitely has a lot of the key components already, so it shouldn't be too hard to make those updates. Very good. If there's nothing else, we can move on to Thank you for the presentation. Uh, on to KCHS Soccer Booster Club by Felicia Bolan. Good afternoon or good evening to the board and superintendent. I wanted to thank um Pete Deswood and Sharon Ray for helping us get on the agenda today. Um we're here to
020have our bylaws um and our and our fundraising um form uh approved by the board. I am not sure if you want me to read the uh the bylaws to you. I did provide a copy to Mr. Deswood for the board to look at. Do we have access to those uh documents so we can see those? I provided them to Mr. Dizwood, so I'm not sure if the board received them. Um, board president, they were I I sent them to Miss Ray to upload, Miss Bolan. Yes. in respects to what you're requesting. Um, it really needs to be detailed as far as what you're going to present. the bylaws should should be listed on the agenda and also the fundraising should be listed because if you look at our reports item C um talks about
021fund funding fundraising request and it it lists the individuals that are going to be presenting that information and generally that information is presented to the board so we can look at it beforehand um so we can have questions ready but in this case we do not have anything that's provided added to the board and as well as the generalization of um KCHS Soccer Booster Club by Felicia Bowling. Again, it doesn't explain exactly what it is that's going to be presented. So, if it's not too much of an inconvenience, I'm going to ask the board president if we can just go ahead and um if you would be so inclined to represent the information with the documentation at the next board meeting. Do you can you tell me when the next board meeting is? I did
022present these documents to the board to have presented. So I'm not sure what had happened at this. I I understand that and I respect that and obviously it's an error on the side of the administration not to post that. So and again with fairness to you, we need to see those things and the public needs to see those things as well. Okay. So um Tuesday is a regular board meeting. Okay. if you can provide me the location and whatnot, I would be happy to come back and present. All righty. I I appreciate it and I apologize for any inconvenience to you um for uh for your time. That's okay. I I understand sometimes things happen. Superintendent. Yes, sir. Sorry, it's hard to unmute myself right there. Did you catch that? Yes, I did. All right.
023Please make sure that that's on there with the uh necessary documents so we can do this um and listen to the information and see what they have to present us, please. Thank you. Awesome. Tuesday night. At this time, Madam President, are you ready? C yourself in fundraising request. Flip the switch. Is it my turn yet? Hold on one second. Okay, thank you. You take mine. I won't say anything. I'll I'll I'll keep quiet. [Music] I'll take this one. Not this one. [Music] Hey, good evening everyone. Oh, good. Can you hear me? Um, we will proceed on letter C. Is it letter C? C. Fundraising request by Patrick Boon. A, uh, Newcome High School boys basketball program co-ed volleyball tournament and food sale. April 26, 2025 to Nukem High School boys basketball program co-ed volleyball tournament
024and food sales on May 17, 2025. Is Mr. Boon available? Is he online? Please, please uh proceed. Thank you very much for uh this opportunity to present my fundraising request to the board members. Uh Central Consolidated School Administration and Superintendent and uh assistant superintendent I represent I'm the boys basketball coach at Nukem High School and um some of the things that we're trying to do is have fundraisings for our boys basketball program to participate during the summer and summer camps across the state and and also within the four corners area. And um right now, you know, we we we we're need some funds so we can pursue paying for our travels like meals, hotels, and paying for fees. So we can have our students participate in a a program that is very beneficial to them
025and to the school and to building a a successful basketball program. Bon case. That's why we wanted to do a fundraising activity. And um this is my second year of of being the head coach. And a lot of times, you know, my previous coaching stance, we've been able to do a lot of fundraising and we paid a lot of things from so I just want you guys to let me use your Oh, yeah. You're you're just fine. I got to grab this piece of paper for a guy. Mr. Wells, I think if Mr. Wells, can you mute yourself? Oh, so I just wanted to ask the board and to approve our fundraising activities and and if you guys want to come over and be part of the program, put your team in. Oh yeah. Any
026questions? Are there any questions from the board? Questions or comments? Okay, go ahead. Oh, wow. 250. Are they going out of state? Is it on? Even though you have really loud voice. It's out of state. It's out of state fundraiser. Oh, it is. Okay. Yeah, it's checked as out of state fundraiser or out of school fundraiser. I can't Mr. Boon. Yeah, it's out of school. Um, are you where's your fundraiser going to be? At school. Oh, so it could been in the school. Okay. Yes, it would be. It would be. Go ahead. I can change that. Okay. So, it's it's not during the school year or after school hours. Saturday. Okay. And um um I wasn't aware that um fundraisings went by size or [Music] um so I believe they have to come before the
027board. Yeah. All the fundraising that we've been doing it was approved by the board. So that's why we had to do all the paperwork and then it gets reviewed by my my my athletic director and our principal and I believe it goes to Mr. Deswit. So but that was my mistake on marking that it's a is in school fundraiser. Okay. Yeah, I think it it would constitute as in school fundraiser since it's going to be at the school on a weekend. Board President, this is Mr. Deswood. Yes. So, the fundraiser is for Mr. Boon. The teams that are going to be joining the tournament are from the community and the surrounding areas. Correct. All over, I think. So that's why it's considered an out of school fundraiser because the funds are coming from the surrounding
028community. So per board policy, any out of school fundraisers are approved by the board. Okay. So it's a community event. Yes, it's a community event. Are there any other questions or comments? No, I I don't have any questions. Okay. I I don't have any questions. I I think um our community is pretty supportive of basketball. Um so I think it's it's a good thing. Mr. Boon Neon, I I do have a comment. Go ahead. Or a question. Um Superintendent Carlson, do we or who's in charge of the um facilities right now? That's uh Rodney. Rodney. Okay. Um the reason why I'm asking is um I know that [Music] um before it's been said that if the facility is is is being used for free, I think there's going to be some questions about food sales.
029[Music] um the extra money revenue that's take that's um going to be brought in. I don't know. Um you might go over that and and make sure that we're we're in good standing. Is it okay if I have Mr. Desert? He's got his hand raised there. Chime in. Go ahead. Yes. Thank you, board president. Um Miss Saspus, thank you for the question. So uh these uh these out of school fundraisers this is the process that they typically go through. Um if it's a a organization within the school meaning an athletic team or a booster not a booster uh or a um club uh they do not have to pay the fees uh to use the facilities. Um so this is one that uh is this is one that we typically send to the board for
030approval. Um we also as far as cash handling and stuff like that uh they still have to follow the board policies and the finance policies uh set forth in the board board um the board policies. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other questions? Um Mr. Deswood, does this include having security? Um yes, they can request for security to be uh present there. Um, a lot of times the uh principal and athletic uh director will also uh inquire with uh Navajo Nation PD to be present. So I think David and Devon are on as well so they can probably answer a little bit more specifically. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Boon. Thank you. I'll go in there. I'll go in. Um letter D, recommendations regarding House Bill 171. House Bill
031House Bill 1715 by Roxan Lee and Hello. Good evening everybody. Roxan and I'm the instructional coordinator for secondary schools. And just a quick synopsis of the original House Bill 171. This amends current law to update New Mexico high school graduation requirements. The bill maintains the current requirement of 24 units to earn a high school diploma and increases unit requirements in core academic subject areas. and it requires a development of graduation profiles, requires school district and charter schools to set two of the required units of graduation and allows additional courses in career technical education and work-based learning to account to count toward core academic requirements. This bill does go into effect for high school seniors beginning 9th grade in school year 2526. And we'd like to recommend uh two of the local requirements. And we have
032our middle school and high school principles of Central Consolidate School District who acknowledge and support the intent of House Bill 171 to strengthen high school graduation requirements and prepare students for future success. As such, we want to further enhance student preparedness and ensure a well-rounded education. Therefore, we are recommending the following re regarding two local discretion units. The first one is financial literacy. We strongly recommend that one of the two locally determined units be dedicated to financial literacy. And this is in crucial for equipping students with essential skills for managing personal finance, understanding credit, and making informed financial decisions. Additionally, we're looking at a menu of options for the second local determined unit. We recommend that district and try to provide students with a menu of options and this will allow students to pursue coursework
033align with their individual interests, career goals that promote deeper engagement and personalized learning. We do have a chart on that memo that does show what those menu of options can entail. Um but both the um principles and the counselors of CCSD, we recommended this House Bill 171 will better serve the diverse needs of our students and empower them to thrive in their post-secary endeavors. We believe that financial literacy and choice-based elective will significantly contribute to a more comprehensive and relevant high school experience. And at this time, if you'd like to look at that chart there, and the courses required to graduate, English four credits, math four credits, social studies four credits, science three credits, PE one credit, health five credits, and electives 5.5 credits plus the two credits uh for the following recommendation. One credit
034in financial literacy, and one in the menu of options. I myself as along with our uh Shiprock High School principal, Miss Stacy Galahare along with the other uh secondary principles uh stand for any questions. Board members, any questions or comments? Comment. Go ahead. Looking at the lists of um options. First one, foreign language, Navajo and Spanish. Why do they list those as foreign? Especially if you're uh if that's your first language. It's English that's a foreign language. And I certainly uh with with the state of New Mexico, it is not um um uh noted as a foreign language. So uh it would be foreign for non-native speakers. So it is under a language area, but it is under foreign language. wasn't necessarily a question but just a comment in respect to the fact that a
035lot of native speakers that's their first language and English is language. I agree. So I even have a story of a gentleman who went to school in Utah in order to graduate um he had to have a foreign language and so he was called into the guidance counselor in the principal's office and asking if he took a foreign language. He said yes. He said it didn't show it on his transcript. He said, "I did take one." He goes, "Which one?" He said, "English." He said, "Well, which what is your native tongue?" He goes, "Navajo." So, he had to prove it and he did. So, that's why I say what I say. And the lack of the peed to acknowledge first language to me is a slap into the face of the native speakers. I understand
036their point, but and again, to me, that does a disservice to those who speak first their native language. So that's all I'm saying is commenting. I'm not questioning anything. So it's just a comment. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Board President, this Mr. Desert. Can I add a comment? Go ahead. Uh board president, that uh that is under there because whenever uh our students do go to post-secary institution, uh that prevents them from taking a foreign language whenever they go to college. So that's how it fills that requirement. So that's why it's under there. Uh so that students can when they go to college they you know one of the um mission requirements is for them to have a foreign language so then they can take their tra their their native language in Navajo PBLO or
037Sue and then that will will suffice for that. Go ahead comment. Um, with all of that said, I'm I'm looking and if you Google uh the House Bill 171, there's specific requirements and in that whole list there, it gives English, social studies, science, mathematics, physical ed, health, and then under career or workplace readiness or language and it says other than English. So somewhere we have a [Music] um one is saying that it's already included and and and instead of letting um board member Mononttoya finish um and this list it it says that other than language. So they're not it sounds they're not counting English as a foreign language. Thank you. Are there any other questions or comments? Thank you. Thank you, Miss Lee and Galler. We will move on to item E. Discussion on safety
038plans, handicap accessibility plans, and number of graduates and non-graduates by and it's blank. I don't see who it's by. Miss Ray. Good evening, members of the board. Uh this is safety coordinator Devin Burhost. Uh thank you for having me and appreciate your guys' time to discuss some of the graduation uh plans that we have for the safety needs. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you. Please continue. So, you're the presenter? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Um, m Miss Ray, can you put that on on our um for documentation sake? Uh, letter E, put Mr. Buros as the presenter. Yes, I will. Thank you. Thank you. You can continue, please. Yes. So, for for this year, we have uh graduation is going to be starting on May 21st um and the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. Those
039are going to be nighttime graduations. Uh we are going to be working with operations and uh making sure that we do have extra lighting um provided in the parking lots um while this is going on. We have been making arrangements to make sure that we have plenty of lead safety adviserss on site um prior to graduation along with um for the Kirtland uh school site. we have put in for uh overtime um request with the San Juan County Sheriff's Office so that we will have um plenty of representation of law enforcement from the San Juan County Sheriff's Office uh at the entrances, gates, and inside of of the graduation area. Um we will do this also working with Navo uh police department um for the graduations in um Nukem and the Shiprock High School graduation
040that's going to be on the 24th. That's going to be in the morning at 10:00 a.m. Um, we are going to make sure that we have uh our lead uh safety advisors vehicles and the side bysides on site um like we did the previous year, making sure that we can uh offer rides to anybody with any type of disabilities or um that that has a hard time walking or whatever. we'll make sure that we can get them uh to their designated area and and be picking them up in the parking lots and then uh bringing them to the the the the front entrance of where the graduation's going to be. We will also be working on um the site maps when it comes down to once we are once we know if there are any
041other VIP members that are going to be coming or any of their other security teams that's going to be coming with those members. uh we'll work closely with those teams and and do site visits with them and iron out exactly where they will be parking and making sure that the the the facility or doors or areas or rooms that they're going to be at prior to the graduations. We'll make sure that that that is going to be um taken care of as well. Um so we're excited about graduation. We're excited about everybody coming out and all the community members being there. We'll make sure that um all of our our safety advisors um our contract security and all of that that's going to be at the these each of each each of these events um
042that uh everything will be will go off without a hitch. So, um we'll also be working with uh operations department too in reference to um making sure that we have an area designated and cleared off for any of the handicap um uh special needs for for each site on that as well. And with that, I I stand for any questions and in reference to uh graduation uh safety plans. Are there any questions or comments? Yes. Go ahead. So I think the main thing is is um um it it was in response to what happened at Nukem that the attack happened on the principal and also a u a graduation attendee. So I think just to avoid um from from any attacks happening to anybody um that the u high visible presence of security and um
043be around. And then as far as Kirtland, I think the big thing there is the handicap accessibility and [Music] um of of getting uh people and also those that are company that that person um to be seated in the area because they um you can't put them there alone. And so I think that's been a a big deal. And then also in Shiprock, [Music] um I know that some of the the handicap are brought down into the gym floor. Um that so that they clear the aisles where the the graduates walk. Um so I I think I think those areas are are are handled pretty well. Um but yeah, I and and then usually after, you know, when everybody disperses from the stage, you know, you look around, you don't see anybody again. So, um
044we need to stay there and be present and be visible as far as security. Thank you. Okay. Any other comments, questions? I I agree. I think one of the big um issues was also the number of spaces for the handicap and the elderly. I think we need to have enough space set aside for I think in the past there was there was um people were crowded into that area. So just to have the more accessibility in in those areas but thank you. What were the dates again? Can you give the dates for the graduations again, please? 21st, 22nd, 23rd. Oh, yes. Yes, I can.

We will move on to number four A items for the April 15, 2025 regular school board session meeting. I have nothing. I have a Go ahead. Uh, so I'd like some feedback on that light and and then also the um legal and lobbyists and I would like um I'll try to get um Mr. Gary Mike to attend the regular meeting, but um would like the board's approval and support um for Ashlin Mike memorial run, which is to be the on May 3rd. I'm thinking it's on
046the 2nd, but um it's just before Shiprock Marathon. uh but he would like uh CCSD to give some some type of support whether it's volunteer or just um ads or um you know letting people the students know and uh to to to be a part of that memorial run or walk. Thank you. is miss um the the memorial walk might be on Friday or on Saturday. I'm think usually they hold the kid um the kids event on Friday, but I'm I have dates recorded as the 3rd and the fourth, but normally the um um Shiprock Marathon half marathons on the Saturday. So, I'm thinking it's it's on a Friday, but I'll confirm and bring that on the regular school board meeting. Okay. If you could provide a flyer, if he has a flyer, we can
047share that, too. Thank you. Do you have anything? Uh, just real quick, probably like a a quick snapshot of graduation. Um, like how many graduates are going to be graduating for all the schools, preparations, and that that sort of stuff. But I think it's been pretty typical. Okay. And uh probably the last one is um I'd like to I'm sure the high schools received report someone in in in the district receives it, but it's uh information regarding how our students performing on the ACT and SAT test scores and I believe we've had a round of testing on uh like October, December, and February. So those companies have sent test scores and reports back to the district. I it wouldn't hurt to see what those look like. Okay. Thank you. And that's like another area of
048uh how our district can keep on top of these things, outcomes, improvement, accountability. Thank you. Thank you. On on and to include um to make sure I guess we we want to make sure that our seniors know right now if they're graduating or not graduating. We don't want to wait until the last moment. So if uh superintendent if we could convey that to make sure that our students are aware of where they're standing. Um I know that there was an incident previously in Farmington because of something that the information wasn't conveyed to the student until the day before I believe. So, um to stay um on top of things, uh if we could get the assurances from our principles that our kids are well aware of their standing, that would be also something that I
049would like to hear. Thank you. You bet. Are there any other Just to make sure that the um Kirtland Central High School has theirs on the agenda so they can do their report. Okay. Yeah. I I I wasn't really clear about what they're asking. I I think the the documents finally got uploaded, but what I saw was is that it's articles of incorporation or something that says that that they're incorporated, but beyond that, I'm really not it wasn't it's not very clear about what they're asking. Okay. All right. Are they asking us to acknowledge their incorporation? Okay. If we could get the KCHS boost, if we could get clarity, superintendent, that would be also good. Thank you. Yes. All right. Thank you. Um, number five, a motion. Oh, Mr. Wells, are you still on? Yes,
