001Evening. I have several recognitions for tonight. First, I would like to start with Mr. Mrs. Graham. So, if you guys would like to come up here, please. So quiet. [snorts and laughter] >> It was his fault. [laughter] >> We are proud to recognize and honor Mr. and Mrs. Graham. Um he and his wife Janine have demonstrated much dedication to the Lington schools and the greater Lovington community which has spanned many years. They are both Lovington graduates as well as their sons Sharon and Tyler. As longing and outstanding citizens, they have deeply impacted our school community. Not only through their support of students, but through the relationships they have fostered, the stories that they have told, and the spirit of partnership they have brought to our district. And for a time, Mr. Graham also served as
002an assistant coach uh for our tennis program, reflecting his willingness to contribute wherever he was needed. Together, through their work in the local newspaper they owned, they have celebrated our staff. They have shown a light, a spotlight on our successes, and they have kept our community informed with care and integrity. As they close this chapter of owning the newspaper and move into their next adventure, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and wish them every joy, every success, and every blessing in the next chapter of their lives. And as Shannon Elder says, words only reveal half of your heart. Service defines the other half, but it is character the combination of the two. And so we would like to present you a wildcat um blanket and wildcat >> pens. [applause] I'd like to say Mrs. Pionis, you
003said something about relationships. We've had a great relationship with schools over the last 41 years since we've been running the paper and uh we hope that y'all continue that relationship with the paper. I see great things ahead for that. We may not have been as active in the last 10 or 15 years of that 41 year run, but uh uh the people that we work with in the school system have been fantastic and I think we have one of the greatest systems in the state. Thank you. Appreciate >> Thank you. We appreciate your partnership for sure. Does the board have anything to say or add? [laughter] >> You're have to move this shestly. [laughter] The thing they realiz whenamilies see their child picture that means something and on more than one occasion they're call of
004okay there's seven children and this is a picture but there's only six names and it was before we had all the confusing and so everybody's doing the quick call and you know because the the sense of community and I I just think that that is something that soable Thank you. [snorts] >> And in Walcat fashion, we'd like to give you three claps in a woo. One, two, three. My next guest is Mrs. or Miss Hendershaw. So, if you will come up here, please. [snorts] We are delighted to shine the spotlight on Christy Hendershot, whose vision, passion, and commitment has enriched our high school and our wider community in a remarkable way. By establishing the Interact Club at the high school and for forging a strong partnership with our local Rotary Club, she has empowered our
005students to not only learn, but to serve, to roll up their sleeves and step into the community and make a difference. Her caring nature, powerless work, ethic, and unwaving integrity, genuine bond with her students make her an outstanding educator, one whose influence extends far beyond the classroom. In recognition of her exceptional service, she was recently awarded the Paul Harris Fellow Distinction, a prestigious honor established in 1957 that reflects the ideals of community leadership, service above self, and profound impact. To give you a sense of the honor, some of the distinguished recipients of this award include former US President Jimmy Carter, polio vaccine developer Jonas Sonk, astronaut James Lel, and even Mother Teresa. I know [laughter] Miss Hendershot joins this remarkable group reflecting the profound impact impact that she has made on both our students and
006the wider community. Tonight we celebrate her dedication, her heart for service, and the lasting legacy she continues to build in the Lington schools. So I would like to um present her certificate in honor of um her late latest recognition and for displaying integrity, confidence, and communication and being named the Lington Rotary Paul Harris. Hello. [applause] >> [applause] >> Do you have anything you want to say? >> Put you on the spot. [laughter] >> Um, I'm just honored and I couldn't do it without these amazing kids and I love them and we're just going to keep going. >> And do you have some of them here? >> I do. I have [laughter] my Interact students, the ones that are able to show up. Can you see that? THERE'S MY [applause] Thank you. And we expect and
007uh the expectation is for this club to continue doing what you guys do. So, thank you for charging the way in Lington. My next person is Mr. Payne. So, if you will come up here, please. We are proud to recognize Mr. Payne, our dedicated student council adviser, whose leadership, organization, and genuine heart for students have made a lasting impact on our high school. He inspires students to step up, get involved, and take pride in their school, fostering both responsibility and the Wildcat spirit. Through his guidance, students are also encouraged to take an active role in our community, fostering engagement and responsibility. Beyond the classroom, he has served on state level committees and held state offices, bringing a wealth of experience and a broader perspective to our students. His commitment to creating meaningful experiences was recently
008on full display with our second annual Halloween bash. An event that has grown tremendously in the two years from its original original date. He has brought the entire Levington district and the community together in celebration and fun. Through his tireless efforts, he not only supports student leadership, but also strengthens the spirit, pride, and sense of belonging that makes our school truly special. And Mr. Payne does not just like Miss Hershaw. They don't do this for the recognition. They are the quiet servant leaders behind the scenes. And um I just wanted to take a moment to recognize both of them. Um but you will also find Mr. Payne and his group at the basketball games and volleyball games and the concession stand. and um I see him everywhere and uh Mr. Payne has done a tremendous
009job. So, we'd like to recognize you tonight. [applause] >> Do you have anything to say? >> It's all them. It's a student. It's not me. It's a student. Okay. And student council kiddos, would you stand up? Our students, >> Three of them. Yes. And as you will see, some of them serve in both clubs. So, yes. Thank you. >> I think I think [snorts] a lot of times there's a thought that the community and the schools don't work together. I think that how we that prove that from the [snorts] start. So, good job on that. like it's never going away. You do know that, right? Okay. [laughter] >> Yeah. Last year was our first one and it went really big. So, we're grateful it was so big and we're grateful that the rest of the
010school district is supportive and had central office there as well and several of schools. So, really that helped out a lot and it showed >> that so impressed with how well the high school kids were so friendly and kind to those little ones. I liked it. Yeah, that was good. >> Well, thank you. >> My next person I like to recognize is Abigail Sch. I'm thrilled to recognize Abigail. She came before the board, I believe two months ago, >> a little over a month, >> a little months ago, uh to receive um permission to cross state lines to go to Washington DC to represent not only our state but our district. And um she serves as vice state vice president of Skills USA. An incredible honor and a testament to her leadership and dedication. You
011will also hear her on the radio um helping broadcast games. And uh Abigail works tirelessly to support and inspire her peers, showing a commitment not only to her own growth, but to the success of students across New Mexico. Her achievements reflect the best of Walcat pride. And we are so proud of her. And um if you would like to give just a brief summary of your trip and how you did and before she starts, you know, she had um she was able to travel uh with Miss Overcast and um what a special treat, right? and um a great thing and Miss Overberouse just took her in and showed her all the different sites behind the scenes and uh what a beautiful memory that was created there. So all right so um the trip itself Washington's
012uh leadership sum the Washington leadership training institute um was not just for um officers but it was also for anybody that was willing to go. We had ambassadors there from Arizona and we also had actual uh chapter members from different states that went there. Um and one thing about these leadership summits is that you get to uh work not only are you working on um focusing your story to give to legislators and state representatives, but you're also working towards a goal. Um each leadership summit uh each state does it differently. Um but at the national level it is a huge honor. Um I have this pin here. Uh it is the national statesman award and um it is the highest award that you can get as a skills USA uh member or advisor and it
013shows that you are you went to WLTI and that you went through those interviews, you went through the workshops and that you've become a better person because of it. Um there was a lot of pre-work involved. there was a lot of tireless uh dedication not just for me but for my adviserss for my fellow um Skills [clears throat] USA members and um it created um a lot of memories that I will never forget and you know being able to go to Washington DC for the first time in my life with such an amazing person as Miss Overcast was a huge honor. [snorts] >> We were excited for you. And you know you many times through the years you're very successful and watching. Oh my goodness. [laughter] And don't you have something else coming up later
014this week? >> Yes. Um we are hosting our fall leadership conference over at Hob Tech. Uh this conference is to develop our students into good uh citizens and also uh community leaders. This will sharpen their skills um in leadership, communication, uh team building and overall confidence. Um the first night usually we have a keynote speaker which um he's coming actually all the way from Las Vegas to come talk to us and uh the second night is um going to be mainly focusing on workshops and uh we've been developing those for over uh three months now. And then the final day is community service. Uh we invite every chapter that comes to do a community service project. Uh this year we're actually doing a virtual one as well to support the Las Vegas uh New Mexico
015uh school district because uh they want to start their own chapter, but they don't have the funds for it yet. So um that's a project that we are starting this year. Um and we also are actually doing a community service at um Hearts Desire here in Lovington uh that our Lovington chapter will be participating in. >> And what about you? have something first. >> Uh I am signing my >> um Yeah, I'm signing my letter of intent to go to UTPB to play for uh play basketball for them. >> Yes. >> So, she's receiving a certificate for displaying adaptability, confidence, and communication, our portrait of the Wonat attributes. Um, she's receiving a certificate, an ID lanyard, and a wallcap pen. And yes, and Interact Club, I have not forgotten about you and student council. So,
016Mr. Payne and Miss Hendershot, if you can get me numbers, then I will be handd delivering the Wildcat pens at your next meeting. Okay. The thing about these Wildcat pens is they're just not given out freely. They're given out for a reason. And so, these are our first two groups of kids that will be receiving a Wildcat pin. So, there you go. Yes. Thank you. We're very happy. [applause] You know, and while she's shaking hands, you know, this the thing about our kids in Lovington is we have received so many um compliments from restaurants and hotels and other schools about how our kids are. And the cool thing about these two clubs is that their heart is in service. And that's what we want to be known for in Lovington is the heart of service.
017and they display and they do that so well and so naturally and that trait right there is what's going to get you far in life. Your hard work ethic and your heart of service. So, thank you for representing Wildcat Nation with class. Thank you. My next person that I would like to introduce is um we're excited to welcome our new director of finance, Carrie Gray, who joins us. Come up here, Carrie. with extensive experience [applause] um and a proven track record of excellence. She has been recognized across the state of New Mexico for her outstanding contributions in leadership in school finance. Her background includes valuable work with the Hob Schools and the JF Maddox Foundation where she developed strong systems to support strategic budgeting and organizational growth. Her expertise and commitment to service will be
018instrumental in advancing our district's goals and we are thrilled to have her join our Wildcat team and look forward to the positive impact that she will make in our district and the community of Lington. So, welcome Carrie. [applause] >> And last but not least, I just want to publicly um thank the Deming schools. Um, not too long ago, we um, our football team traveled to Demi on a charter bus, not a Lemington school bus. And, uh, it was a one-way ticket. And little did we know that it was a one-way ticket. And so, in route, uh, [laughter] the, uh, Wildcat Football Booster Club received word that, um, the driver had overextended his hours and that, um, he would only be taking us to the game. And so, um, Mr. Mr. Morad was on his way
019to support the band. Um, Mr. Dea Cruz was busy with something, so I had to put on the AD transportation hat that I quickly gave back on Monday when I got back into the district. But I do want to thank Deming Schools. Um, they lent us their school, brand new school bus and Jesse Levas, who is one of used to be one of our employees and still had his CDL license, drove our kids um, from Deming back to Levington in Deming's bus and then Mr. De La Cruz um, on that Monday took Mr. leave us met them halfway exchanged the bus and uh we're extremely grateful of that spirit of partnership and just working to Wildcats helping Wildcats and so uh I just wanted to publicly thank them those people and our Wildcat football booster
020club too as well for um pitching in financially for that. So I will turn it back over to the board. never turned that on. We will move on into the director's reports and I will open it up to the board for any questions in regards to the uh reports listed. I don't really have a question, but I do got to say I like the athletics and activities report. I think that is very comprehensive and does a good job covering everything. You know what I mean? A lot of times I think it was focused just on athletics and so it's good to see all the activities in there. So, good job. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. Okay. Yeah. >> Do you want to go ahead and do that? >> Okay. Great. Thanks, Stacey. >> I
021I did like the the report. [snorts] I know there's a lot in there. >> So, I'm just going to cover a little bit of it. There's a lot of slides. You're welcome to go through it. I'll answer any questions you have either now or we can meet later. Um, Miss Q has said and I can answer them at another time if there's something you would like. So, um, it has each of the assessments that the students take from K through 12. Um, and some of them the data depends. Um, we have some new assessments this year. Amamira is one of the new ones. There's going to be a brief overview um to tell you what the assessment's about and what it is trying to what we're trying to get from it. Um we do not
022have any data for air yet. Um there were a few requests for some new data from the end of the year where we ended last year's I Ready and then where we started this year. So I just made a graph. Um I do want you to be aware though like when you're looking at this um that the tests are two different assessments because of the standards. So it is going to be harder for them to stay that consistent. But if you go right after that, um you can see these charts where it shows the growth. So the bottom line is where the kids began kindergarten for reading and then the top bar is where they finished. Obviously we want green and we want that double shade of green. That's the best. All right. So that
023shows um that we moved when we started the year we had four students who were on grade level. By the time we we had 92 students who are on mid or above grade level. >> Okay. >> This is going to be all from last year. >> This part is last year. That first part you showed us has >> only one little part of Yes. So the second one where it says like um let's see the bottom grade right here. So EOI seventh grade. That's where they ended seventh grade, but that's where they began seventh grade this school year. That is this current. >> That's where they began eighth grade in the Okay. That's right. But you >> This is really helpful standards. >> Okay. So then you can go through this. There's I Ready reading
024from K8. Um I Ready does reading and math. So it's just going to show you first grade's reading, then first grade's math. And it you can go through each one of those to see the growth from last school year. Okay. >> Real quick, can I say before we get off ready? Is it? So, you're saying it's not good for us to look at third grade math and then look at fourth grade math. >> It's going to be harder because the standards are different. >> Because I did notice that's where it seemed like it increased the red increased year after year after year. >> Yes. And you're going to see so if you look at the start of the data, do you see there's no double shaded red? That's because you cannot be more than two
025grade levels below at that grade level. But then when you hit third grade and fourth grade, you see that double shaded red there? That's because you can be three or more grade levels below. So some of those students began their school year three or more grade levels below. We had 67 kids who began there, but then by the end of the year, we were down to 39. So, and it does go up. Like I said, I Ready does continue to eighth grade. So, I'm just going to kind of skim through these, but if you guys, like I said, have any further questions, we can look at them. Um, Nessa is the what is given to grades three through eight for reading and math. Um, Kelly has Miss Bailey before I came on was following these
026through the cohort. So, I'm going to show you some cohort data in just a second, but these are the overall percentages from last school year of obviously the red is our novice students and then all the way to the green green is our advanced students and that's the percentages at each grade level where they ended what of the test they took last year. What's the difference between I ready and >> so I ready is our interimm assessment that our district has chose and then IMSA is only given once a year that is the state yes summitative assessment at the end the um I ready we get three times a year >> uh and then it does break down each school that IMSA data we have it here as a whole but then it is broken
027down by each school after that so you can go through and this is the percentages just to show where we ended. Okay. And then like said that one goes to eighth grade, but this is the cohort data. I don't know if you had a chance to look at it. This is what Miss Bailey started before I got here. And I will continue to go, but you can see where the kids did when they were in fifth like all the way down. Some of the kids we have from third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and you can follow that cohort all the way. um that top one those are our current sophomores of course we don't have but you can't compare the PT data to this you know so that line is blacked out um but
028we will continue this so that we can watch the kids move here and then the NMS is our science test it's given at grades five and 11 um and then same thing here >> and it's end of year as well >> it is the end of year and it's only given at those couple of times of Here we are. Our scores are very comparable to the state scores. Um like their score was 553 average. Ours is 551 for fifth grade. 8th grade 855. We were 855 also. And then we were one point off from 11th grade also. So we are right there with the state average. So those are each of those. Then our last one um or there's two more still, but the PAT data for 89 um and then the NMSQT and SAT
029school day is also in here from last school year. Um and also the separated between Lovington High and then New Hope. And then the LA Oh, we do have WEDA also in here. Yes, we do have three more. Okay. So through and our SAT we give the PSAT and uh to a 9 and 10 and then 9 10 and 11 in the fall and then the SAT school days only for the 11th graders at this time this year for WEDA which is the test that is given to all students who are recognized as an English learner. We had at the very end here I have a slide right here. We tested 185 students this last school year and 33 are considered to be English proficient. So they will not have to take the exam again.
030There were so many kids that were so close to that to that cut off point. So and that kind of tells you also the breakdown of where those kids exited from what grade levels. fourth and fifth grade is huge of exiting those students. So, and the last one is the DN and that is for students um with severe cognitive disabilities. Um they take a different test. They don't have to take the NMSA or the NMSR or the SAT school date. So, we do give them this test at the end of the year. Um and some of our kids are considered proficient in their areas of language arts, mathematics, and science. So, okay. Is there any questions about the data? >> And I would encourage you to come in and visit and she can go oneon
031one with you because it's great data. It's great one parents I guess the last months that they're ners. >> Yes. To score higher math and stuff and they were That's the same test that they take up through 11th grade. They're not expected to score, >> right? It's a practice test >> in ninth grade. >> And we did have our kids. I think there was a slide on here. There is in that back up there that tells you we had 30 we had 19 students recognized being their first generation recognition award. There was a school recognition award for their scores of 38 and there was 23 who had a role in small town recognition awards and if they will go in and claim those some of those students may have the chance of receiving scholarships depending
032on where they're going to school. >> So yeah it is like practice up until that SAT school day but they can get these awards as early as um when they're taking it their sophomore and junior year. some of the scholarship, >> right? So, it's important for them to keep doing it trying. >> Last year, I think $8,000. >> Yeah, I think that is what he got. Yeah. So, it's very important. Yes. >> All right. >> When is the midyear data uh >> window open >> for the I Ready? We're going to open it on December 1st when we come back after break and it will stay open until January 16th. So when do you anticipate having comparable data on that? February or is that >> immediately? It's it's done. So we could have it as
033soon as that cut off of the Monday after January 16. >> Okay. >> Maybe the February board meeting. >> You can come back and do it. >> That would be great. grades three, four, and five, we've added in two extra interim assessments through I Ready because they do not use a they didn't have as many data points and for the new interventions that we put into place. Um, we wanted to make sure that they're working, >> right? >> And already there is growth that's been shown [clears throat] this year. >> I think that it's been good. >> Thank you, Stacy. Any other questions for Stacy? >> Thank you so much. Okay, any other questions on any of the reports? And as always, if something comes up, certainly reach out. Um, superintendent report, did you have
034additional information to share? >> Okay, questions from the board. No, ma'am. >> Okay. All right, then. Let's move right on into routine matters. We'll take items one through four as part of the consent agenda. Do I hear a motion to approve as presented? >> So, >> second. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. Now, budget adjustments. I'm just waiting to see who's gonna take this one. I mean, it's Carrie's first day. So, [laughter] >> okay. >> I know you are. I know you are. So, >> the first adjustment is transfer funds between department. Our next one is a budget PSC which is information or money that we have received from this organization. I think it was just >> 450 right here. All right. So, um it's public school outlay council is what the acronym stands
035for and they distributed this money to We are going to use this money for upgrades to our direct digital controls, new security, finishing that up, security gates as well, fire alarm repairs, and then renovations to our CT facility. So that's what this is and it was the house 450 and all districts received money I believe at different amounts and this is what received. So, we're very thankful for this >> and this is what was allocated actually last year, correct Jesse? Okay. And now at the >> November we Okay. Yeah. Hurry up and wait. Yes. But at least we did our part. So, thank you. The next uh budget adjustment is um it's the grant um oh this is our grant from Mar County that we are so grateful and thankful for. This is going to
036be for improvements to the walkout parking lot. Um, and so you will see later on on the agenda that we have an MOA with them that I'll need you to look at and approve if you want to. And so that we can begin um working on this. And Jesse is chomping at the bit to get this going. And we are shovel ready is the way we call it. Ready to go. So that's what this is. We finally received um the 4.4 million. >> Okay. Um the next one is a budget edtech notes and I believe this was um what is the one we >> Yes, that we approved. Yes, that we went through all of that. So that is now there. >> Questions from the board? >> Oh, ma'am. >> I think we're all looking
037forward to the work being done on on many levels, but certainly that parking lot's going to be an exciting time. >> Yes. >> All right. Do I hear a motion to approve? It's open. Okay. Thank you. There's no bids tonight. Donations. Um we have received $18,000 from Lee County uh for our hope grant which is being headed up by Amanda de la Cruz and uh this is a support group for parents with children with autism and um it is already receiving recognition and um we have had a steady group of parents attending this. I believe it's monthly Mr. H. >> Yes. >> So this is a family engagement uh activity. What what I just was curious what what it is. >> It's in recognition of parents that we in the past we've always had a
038small number of parents. Now our numbers with students with autism have grown. So, we targeted our prek through kindergarteners for this school year in hopes that this will grow into older uh students or parents as they get as they move up the the grade level so that we can start including more parents. >> And so, how is it you I guess I'm just kind of curious. Uh like the first and they talked about uh Amanda, you know, like Amanda, she the first day she gave her what she goes through [snorts] as a parent with a student with autism. And then uh last time they had, you know, Cheryl came in and did a little uh thing about after school hour, you know, like what to work on and what to expect as they're getting older,
039those kind of things. And then they have other plans bringing some other people in. And that's where those grants going to. And also this grant also pay helps pay for child care. Um so we have a lot of preschool teachers and uh teacher or preschool IAS and um from the license program that actually help provide daycare >> because this meeting is in the evening. Correct. >> Yes. It's after school hours starts around I think it's six o'clock. >> So really supporting the families with this. >> Correct. Love that. >> And it also helps. >> Where do the meetings happen at? >> Right now they're happening at kindergarten in their library. >> Oh that's great. >> Great. Thank you. I just was curious what what it actually kind of looked at in action. >> It just,
040you know, teaching these young parents, they're all young parents, you know, about, you know, what to expect and >> how, you know, that they have other families and then and there the cool thing is it's always moms that show up and there were several there's been several dads that have been showing up. So, that's been even >> I love that >> more of a positive thing. So, >> well, and really, you know, working on building that we're all working together for this child. So, that's great. Thank you. I was just curious. >> And we're gonna feature um Miss Da Cruz on my next podcast next week and she'll talk a little bit about this as well. >> The next one is from our very very generous HF Sinclair um organization that just gives so freely
041um to our robotics program. And so they have donated $40,000 uh to that program. And we are I I can't even say enough about HF Sinclair. they are just so giving and um really support a robotics program um with their generous donation. So that's what that is. >> Great. >> We certainly appreciate that. Do I hear a motion to approve the donations presented? >> One other may have got lost in the shuffle. Delic Logistics donated one night stay for our band. >> Oh, that's right. It was $4,216. I had spoken >> with uh Tandy before she left and >> I don't think I got it to her in time before she left, >> but she had they were um they paid for one night. We paid for one night. It was good for them to
042get up there a day early though. >> That's great. Thank you, Mr. Mured. I remember seeing that on there. So, >> so thank you very much. We certainly appreciate that. >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve those donations? >> So move. >> I'll second. >> All right, we'll move on into old business. First item is second reading to consider approval of policy I sections 0050 to 3381 along with exhibits. Questions from the board. I have couple of questions. Um the uh adoption in 10 I 1050 that it talks about curriculum changes adoption subject to board approval. But um as we're adopting new curriculum this year's math. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Who all who all looks at that material to decide which curriculum to adopt? >> Stevens. Yes, please. >> So, where
043we start is I go to NPED's high quality instructional materials bureau to look at what um items they consider highly recommended for adoption. So, that's where we start. And then um from that list, we for materials that have grade spans of approval because what we often find is that K through two might be recommended for adoption in a publishers's listing but 3 through 5 is not or they may have a math adoption that is K through 12 they say but they're missing algebra 1 and geometry. So you really have to dig in to see what each one offers. And so for the math adoption in particular, um you'll notice in my report the the publishers that met that criteria are listed there. And so from there, then it goes out to the buildings. Every teacher
044who teaches that subject has an opportunity to review the material and submit a rubric. I shared the rubric with you guys so that you could see what um was on there. And then we collect those. Every teacher who teaches math will have an opportunity to vote. And from those votes, we will narrow it down to the top two or three depending on where the votes fall. [clears throat] At that point, we'll make those options available for public viewing um because that's also a requirement of the curriculum adoption and we'll receive that feedback. And then um if there are questions of the math teachers at that time for those three, we will invite in the publishers to give their presentations if necessary. If it's a landslide, we won't. Um and then from there then it will
045come to Mrs. Konas these are the things these are the costs and then the the final decision is made there. So >> the Wednesday early release date are any of those afternoons available for the teachers to all get together to look at it because that discussion to me was very beneficial. So yes, and as a matter of fact, tomorrow, not tomorrow, this Wednesday, not tomorrow, what day are we? Um will be the opportunity for that to happen at several campuses. And so that really is at the administrator's discretion, but those materials are all out and available um for them to have those discussions at at any time in the window. And so we're looking hopefully to have the vote for narrowing down >> um done by the first week of December >> so that we
046can then make it available for public viewing. Okay, >> that's how it flows. >> That's good. Thank you. >> Thank you, Stephanie. >> Okay, I have another question. I have two questions. >> Uh, in I2500, it talks about the SAT teams. Do we still have SAT teams? >> Yes. I'm trying to get to where you are. >> Student assistance teams. >> Do you say I 2500? >> 2500. Uhuh. Sorry, that's a lot of Okay. >> I I noticed it's a teacher and parent and a counselor and I guess the student that used to be >> our teacher site council. >> Uhhuh. >> Yes. And our principles are very um active in making sure that happens. >> Okay. And then the last one, 2684. I'll let you get there. >> Okay. in in all of the
047red crossed out stuff. One of the things that was crossed out was a an agreement that the students had to sign that listed their responsibilities and they signed it. And so this is the title one compact I believe is this what we're in the next and it's it's not in the the replacement material that I could find that the students had and I I liked having that in there because in our capturing kids hearts, the kids put together the classroom rules and they sign it and having kids say, "Yes, I will." >> Right. And yes, ma'am, it should be in there. That's Let me >> I thought it was in all the red cross >> on the notes. It says >> I think 2662, isn't it? >> Is it? >> Yeah. >> See, I didn't
048have it on paper >> on the first page. >> Yeah. to extract the entire document and replace it with the current title one compact. >> So will that >> yes that is correct >> that will do that 26 >> because there's so much work in the policies and we're doing first readings and second readings and revisions I created the policy revision focus area sheet for you and um what we're working on now those [clears throat] are the different policies that we have adjusted or I've given you an update on where they are. So like policy I0200, we're waiting to hear back from policy services. Um I 2662 uh to strike the entire document replace with current title one compact and that will have um those signatures that you're asking the student, the teacher, the administrator.
049>> Okay. >> And we all page 48 of that document. >> We um had to update it with what is in law now. One thing I have on the new compact here is it talks specifically about parent view and I didn't know if that needed to be more generic >> so that we don't have to change it when they >> out of parent view. You know what I mean? >> Okay. >> I don't know if it be she's talking about their progress in notifying the parents or guardians via parent view. Should it be something? >> I think that's probably a good idea because then we get locked into it needs to be on this one thing and we know that >> those things have a way of changing. >> This is just my ignorance too.
050But what is SIS >> student information system? >> Okay. >> So maybe that's what it should say there, right? It' be notified through >> Stevens. You can approach that. >> Let me let me clarify my question still. I don't see anything for the kids to sign. It's at the bottom. It's the student responsibilities on page 48, I believe. >> But there's no line and >> so it goes out digitally now and so the parents have to accept it. Um because students can't really legally sign something. >> So um the parents accept the agreement and in the presence of their students. So it's not a hard copy paper anymore. People don't send those back. We don't have parent teacher conferences for them to come in and take care of that. That's when that typically happened. So
051for the last three years, we've sent that compact or a version of that compact. This is the most current version um out to parents and parent square and they accept or decline. Um >> where are you square? So it's a form that goes home that way. >> I still think the kids should have to sign something because it make it makes them feel a little more responsible for their behavior. >> But that's just me. That's okay. And then as far as like the wording on the compact saying parent view because it's parent facing I left parent view in there so that they could distinguish with with that like where am I going to look at my child's grades because I think sometimes some of the feedback I get is that we have parents square we
052have parent view and I don't know which one to look in. So I left it as parent view and did reference the cysts also. Um and so since that's why the wording is there but I am open to changing >> I think even if you said parent view or >> or other >> or it's current >> current platform used to communicate with parents something like that you know adopting a new one >> I don't think we are I'm just saying just in case I mean >> yeah but we we've seen that happen so if you put that >> or it's you know uh district approved replacement or or wherever they usually do that. >> And parent view is the application for synergy. >> Okay. >> The CIS. So that view I don't anticipate going. >>
053Okay. >> Thank you, Stephen. >> That's all I have. >> No, I'm good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Everybody got their >> Did you like Did this help a little bit straight? >> Yes. >> Follow the bouncing ball. just helping and having it all. [laughter and clears throat] >> Absolutely. >> Great. >> Good to hear. Absolutely. >> Thank you. Sorry to >> Okay, so it is a second reading. So, do I hear a motion to approve the uh policies as presented with the noted adjustments? >> That's all move. >> Second. [clears throat] Okay, thank you. Moving into new business. First item, consider approval of outofstate travel to the Quest robotic team. Okay, Miss Honey, if you go ahead and come on up. Um, they did have a competition at the junior college this
054last weekend and um they walked away with a lot of hardware. I think they won everything that they could win and then some. So, it was almost like slow down, share a little bit with the others. But, um, we're so very proud of our robotics team. And, uh, >> there's no mercy rule in robotics. >> I've been told to never coach. [laughter] >> It was, it was an awesome showing that we >> ever had at this kind of regional. Uh, we've been all over, you know, love and cruis. So, so it's been it's been a fantastic. So, they will be um they're asking for permission to cross state lines to go to Dallas for the next competition. And I will tell you that there's so many different categories that they won. And we even our
055mascot was there and won that competition and I was like because Wildcats always win. >> So, that was pretty awesome. But I'll go and let you Mr. Hind >> Yeah, I can kind of read off what they've won. All the awards they won. They won the the best coach award, the founders award for creative design of the robot. uh the most robust robot. Uh they won first place in spirit and sportsmanship, first place in marketing presentation, first place in engineering notebook and and I'll tell you that is a booger bear to write and so they so those kids did a phenomenal job on that. Um the robot placed third overall uh against all the other uh 10 teams total and then but all that added up together they won the first uh first place and
056then also like Mrs. he was saying, our Wildcat, they always have a a dance off [laughter] and our Wildcat won. Elizabeth Laura is her name. She's an eighth grader. And then um and then we there's always an award they give out to uh one of the recipients and it's called the Blood, Sweat, and Duct Tape Award. [laughter] And that was because the our students uh Maximus uh while setting up for the field on Thursday night uh you know it's kind of dark there and they're doing all that construction there at the junior college and he tripped and fell and he ended up breaking his wrist and cutting open his chin and went to the ER got that and got that all taken care of and actually showed up to uh the event the next day.
057So uh so they gave him that award. So they So anyway, so they the kids and the and the the team and the coaches, they did a phenomenal job on it. So they've earned it to go to Dallas. >> So we do plan to have them at a schoolboard meeting after their competition Dallas. And we do have one of our members of the robotics team here. So >> back. Yeah. >> I was reading through the agenda just now. It looks really great. >> This looks like a good time. Looks like a really great >> How many teams do you anticipate? >> There's uh they usually average 72 >> and they're from all over New Mexico. Um I don't know because they had another competition in the launch crisis. So I don't know who made it
058down there but uh but it's New Mexico, uh Texas, Arkansas, and I think Oklahoma. But I don't know but I know I can't remember of that one. But I know Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico for sure. That's great. They always do such a good job of representing us. Lots of support from HF Sinclair. >> Any other questions for Roger? >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve the state travel for our quest? >> Have a fun fun time. All right. Next item. Consider approval of the memorandum of agreement with Lee County for the Wildcat Stadium parking lot. You have before you the MOA um between the schools and the county and um just the simple MOA. Are there any questions? >> One note written I can find it. >> Jesse, have you when will
059start going out? That kind of stuff. >> The high school is ready to be adaptable. >> I know. >> You better be. [laughter] >> You better be adaptable. It is truly just abandonment. You know, you >> just not even sure that's a parking place. And I hope nobody needs to leave. So, >> wow. >> I think we're very excited for this. And I don't think words can suffice how much we appreciate the county supporting this because it is a community benefit for sure. >> Absolutely. All right. will be anxious. >> Can we haveated parking? [laughter] >> I didn't see it. I didn't see it. >> All right. Any questions for Jesse or anyone? >> Okay. [snorts] We'll be excited to see all that come to fruition. So, it'll be Mr. Williams job to keep the
060pandemonium. And I guess Mr. Murad you guys as the students are used to zipping over there. So that'll get interesting. So but that'll be fun fun time. Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve the MOA as presented with Lee County? >> Second. Okay, thank you. Next item, consider approval of the American Tower lease agreement. So, the American Tower um company contacts us every year to wanting to make a deal with us. And so, I gathered some information for you. Last year alone, we um were able to generate $72,900 um just in the lease. So, they're wanting to offer us um this amount of money and then we would these funds would go away. We would not be receiving the steady money every year. So, >> who do we receive the steady money from? I'm
061I'm a little confused >> for having our towers on for having their towers on our land. It's a rent. It's >> so right now they're paying us $72,000 a year and they're >> they're trying to pay us out. >> That is from what we understand >> 110,000. >> Yes. And last year um when it came up, you know, I was talking to um Miss Hutchkins and she had recommended that we continue doing what we're doing instead of selling practice. Is that >> is it on the revenue? I see I'm struggling to find it >> that the number that you came up with is just for the one tower. Yeah, that's what I think this is just for the one house >> for the one. >> This is just for one side. So, I don't know
062if that 72,000 they may be offering 41,000 of that. Maybe >> this, you know what I mean? I don't I don't I'd have to see that. I just I know we talked about it last year, >> but then I just was like, are we not taking advantage of this opportunity? And I can't And I mean, Carrie, I know you've done this for a long time. Where where would that show up? interest on investments is that I mean that's that shows the 72,000 from July, August, September, but currently we've received 23,000. And so that's why I and and it it could be that you need to get back with us on that. I I don't want to put you on the spot, but I'm just I just want to make sure we're getting our money, I
063guess, is what I'm >> Well, I know that every year about this time, we get a letter. >> I would I would like to see the Do we have an actual contract? >> Yeah, >> because this is just an offer letter. You know what I mean? Do we have a contract that says >> it's year to year? >> Okay, we can look. >> You know what I mean? Because if if it's year to year, then I say take your money and run >> because if if If not, then they could come in and say, "Well, we're going to take the tower down next year." >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? >> I I just don't want us to be passing up on an opportunity that we wish we would have, but I also
064don't want to be to be foolish with that. >> Is this the one out on commercial? >> Yes, ma'am. >> It's It's the one out on Avenue D in commercial. >> Yes. It's right in front of >> And that that's where when you said 72,000 when I look at the actuals roll up it shows budgeted 72,000 interest on investments. Um but as of through September which of course it's always delayed reporting we're at 23,000. So I just >> was for all of last year. >> Okay. But not that was more than just that one tower. Correct. I mean, and I know you don't, but but I mean, you're familiar with it and so >> it is for everything. I didn't break out. >> Okay. So, is there a way for us to look at that
065like you say on this one tower? >> Oh, dang. >> We'll have to do some digging. >> Okay. >> Well, I did look back and and we it was 14. Okay. September of 14 is when we first started that. And then we had an amendment in November of 2014. And it and at that time in September of 2014, it was a one-time payment of $20,000 and $4,000 per year. And then we had the option to extend the lease for two 10-year terms, which makes sense of why with that $2,000 incremental um and then the amendment in November. So that's why I probably came up last year. I just I just don't want us to be missing that opportunity if if that's there. So >> with the transition, can we add a little can we ask
066for a little bit of time to do research on this? I think the board would feel better having more information. Um I I know that in that initial letter it said uh today was the deadline. So you've already >> I have reached out to them. Okay. To let them know that there's been a transition and that this was going to the board and that I would be reaching back out. But we will probably just do a phone call to >> Okay. And so we could postpone it till the December board meeting. Is that >> December? Okay. I I and and I think in the meantime, any of us that have additional questions, just be sure and let the superintendent and Carrie know so that they'll know what to present to us. So, >> but yeah,
067I it's a little misleading. I can't decide for sure what what they're offering. I mean, >> we'll get you a nice little >> breakout of information. Thank you. >> Okay. All right. Thank you very much. >> So, um, do I hear a motion to table it? >> Okay, we'll bring it back with some more. >> Welcome to Lovington, Carrie. I knew you'd jump right in. So, thank you. Thank you. All right. Next item, consider approval for the edu point for New Mexico SIS software. >> We've been using Cisco, right? Or who who >> so this is uh with synergy. This is our assist. This is our student information system that's all together. And Mr. Rage is here to help me through this. Um but the the state has adopted um synergy as the CIS platform
068for the state of New Mexico. We were already ahead of the game for I believe two years before New Mexico peed decided to go this way. So from what we understand this is um we want to go ahead and join in on the state implementation of synergy at point SIS is what it is. >> Okay. And so we will not pay any money moving forward. Right now we're paying about $80,000 for our assists yearly. And if we join right now, then we're saying we want to get in on the initiative of this and that um the state will take care of the e >> for how long? [laughter] >> I'm sorry. I don't mean to be skeptical, but >> but they haven't they I mean I'm just It doesn't say like for two years or
069something. Yeah, I don't know that the PD would commit to saying one, two, three, four, five years, but we do want to take advantage of that $80,000 savings >> if we can. >> And there really won't >> because we're already using it. >> There won't be any changes because we're already >> in Michael, do you foresee any adjustments on that? >> Okay, >> we looked at the things that they had purchased and the things that we purchased and they seem to have everything. >> Okay, you'll find that on page four the state purchased in page six. It breaks it down for us. >> That's wonderful. >> Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve the software license agreement? It's >> open. Okay. Thank you. Next item. Consider approval to amend the
070graduation date for Lovington High School and New Hope High School. >> Yes, ma'am. Uh due to a recent clarification from the New Mexico Public Education Department requiring seniors to attend through the full academic school year, we must adjust our graduation dates to ensure that the district remains in full compliance with state expectations. This directive was communicated to districts later than anticipated and while we recognize the inconvenience this may cause, uh we are required to follow state guidance. At this time, I'm seeking the board's input on the new date and time so that we can finalize plans and communicate promptly to our families and staff. Um, you know, right after the holidays, that's the big event in January that our parents start looking forward to. Our intention is to make this transition as smooth as possible.
071Um, thank you for your understanding and support as we work uh through these state mand mandated requirements. I along with Mr. Williams and Dr. Parker. Uh we do have a recommendation date uh of May the 22nd in the evening with the 23rd being held for bad weather um option if anything was to bad weather on that Friday. >> I mean yes. So the 23rd >> at noon on that Friday is that correct? >> We have an early release on the 20 22nd. I think you should write the school the state of Mexico back and say if we could go shorter school year then we could accommodate this. [laughter] look like um we don't have it in stone, but once we get the approval from the board, then Mr. Williams will be working closely with his
072team and Dr. Parker to go ahead and see what that last week and the week before is going to look like. >> Well, and I I mean to try to make lemonade out of it. Um, I wonder if it won't be in so and I'm I'm not at your building so I don't know, but I wonder if it won't be in some ways. There's so the boulder is rolling quickly that last week of school and I I wonder would it be all the little things that we want to help our seniors enjoy by stretching that out? Does that I mean I I don't know what what do you think as far as that that extended time does that do you see that helping your staff or they don't know yet and you're going to break
073it to them tomorrow and [laughter] >> true. Um so it could help. So, we know that the week that we would have graduation practice and we would have the graduation walk and so forth. That's also built in with the NMAA state competition days and and then the week before that we normally have our AP testing and so forth going on and there's always a little bit of conflict. So, moving it to the next week. We're going to have a little bit of conflict within our own building when it comes to underassman semester tests, finals, but we can work around that um with the little ingenuity, right? So, it could it could definitely help out and make for sure most of our our kids are there and present for the graduation. Um, well, we have the
074pep rally, we have the senior sunset, we have the graduation walk, the senior pitcher, the graduation practice, tournament, all the devices. Yeah. All of the things. And so that that kind of frees up. And so, you know, like last year, we had our sophomore softball team who had to leave right after our graduation walk. Um, and they were not able to participate in our graduation pep our senior pep rally and so forth. So, this would allow them to be able to do that as well. So, I'm assuming none of the senior testing, etc. will will be moved. So, so essentially they'll know if they're going to graduate or not. >> Um, well, I've looked at a little bit. So, yes, that would move up a week. >> Um, and so then we would have testing
075the week prior for our seniors. Everything kind of gets moved up a week. And then the week of this the 22nd and you're looking at possibly that Monday having I don't know what to look at it but just off top my head maybe graduation the walk and the pictures that Tuesday maybe the senior pep rally and the senior subset but Wednesday Thursday we're turning in devices maybe that Friday morning of graduation doing graduation practice and then that evening graduating um something along those lines >> and we won't hold you to that because I know you got a lot of Okay. >> So, what you guys are wanting to recommend is >> Friday night at 6. Is that what you said? No, you didn't say. Did I just dream? >> I didn't say a time. >>
076Okay. >> So, this last year, that's something to talk about. >> We talked about we had six o'clock this last year and then as the sun came down, the wind died down and then you had the lights over the blue turf that were starting kind of um looking really neat. So, Six or seven. Sorry. >> I remember you saying that >> six or seven. >> Oh, Mr. Williams. >> Wow. >> Six. >> You did it. [laughter] >> I did it. I couldn't help you. >> As it came out of my mouth, I was like, don't do it. >> Take it back. >> So tentative. What you >> Whatever whatever you want work. >> Okay. Well, I I do like I mean I remember last year we talked about that and and you said, you know,
077bumping it back a little bit would help with that. And I also think about a little bit of space for staff, especially, you know, if you've got staff who are also parents of seniors and family and all the parts and pieces. So, early dismissal and then the presto change and and not to mention what our uh the our building and grounds and so giving them that little bit of extra time may really be beneficial there. And then the contingent plan if mother nature messes up is Saturday morning. >> Yes, ma'am. Okay. >> And you know, I I really don't want this to come across as a negative thing. I really think it's going to work in our favor and it's going to be a good thing. And um so I want to believe that maybe
078this has happened for a reason and um it'll kind of slow down things for our seniors and our senior parents as well and uh really get to focus in on that group of kiddos. >> So the original date was the week before >> Saturday was on that Sunday, the 17th, I believe. So we're just moving it to that Friday. Okay, >> cool. I like it. >> Okay, any other questions? >> All right, so the motion will be to amend it to uh graduation date is Friday, May 22nd. >> Do you want to say >> GBD? >> 7 o'clock. Seven's fine. >> 7 o'clock. I think families just need to know so they can plan. >> Well, and then with our families, I think it's harder if you get off work at 5. Of course, most
079of them will take off, but to have some time to get there. >> Okay. So, Friday, May 22nd at 7 o'clock at Wildcat Stadium. Okay. >> The light. >> All right. Do I hear a motion? >> I'll second. >> Thank you, Mr. William. >> Okay. Next item. first reading to consider approval of the Lovington School's booster club handbook. >> Okay. First of all, I want to um extend my um gratitude to Mr. Morad for taking this on. At the very beginning of the year, I asked him to um come up with the booster club handbook and I believe that you guys had asked as well and uh he has work been working diligently on this and really truly has built it from the ground up. So, um, we're here to, well, Mr. Morat is here
080to answer any questions. [laughter] >> I will admit I did not read this because I couldn't get Google Docs to >> it. It mine finally opened. It was a little bit >> open when I got here. So, >> it's all right. I I got it now. So, I haven't looked over, but thank you for doing that. I appreciate it. >> My plan now once we get past this is to run it by some coaches that have done this for several years. take a look at it. So, I did this on my own. I just, you know, coaches are busy, so I've already warned them, but I'll I'll get several coaches to take a look, give me some feedback and see what's what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. >> Okay. >> Yeah. And some
081of the extracurriculars, too, because like they have boosters or >> Right. I I know HOSA just uh opened up their own booster and um band has their own booster, but >> but they're subject to these Yes, >> I do like um I do like the clarity of it. >> I think that um >> it it really lines out roles and and you reiterated it in a couple of different spots. And I think I think that's a good thing, you know, because when everybody kind of knows which lane you're in on that. Um, the one thing I did have a question about, and I'm sure there's a reason, but um, when it talked about to be an officer for any of the booster clubs, they must have a child actively involved in an LHS program. So,
082um I was just curious of the reason because I know that there have been situations that somebody they they their child was and then graduated and then they just asked them if they would help again but not being involved in that. I don't know. I was just curious where that came from. >> I'm not married to that. It's just something that I doing some research that they said that's one of the best practices. That way you have, you know, that somebody's has a vested interest in the students that are involved. >> It doesn't take into consideration what you mentioned that >> people that have been involved for a long time that still want to stay involved even if their child's not participating, but >> that's not something that we have to keep in there. Recommended.
083We don't have to say >> maybe highly recommended. And as you visit with your coaches and sponsors, they may agree with that. Um, and I think sometimes uh, you know, that there's there's uh, I see what you're saying on that, but I think sometimes that um, institutional knowledge of somebody that's been there for a little bit and is able to, you know, if they want to still help, I think that can be a good thing. But, um, I do I do like the clarity of the role of of a booster club member versus a coach. and and running things through you and through uh Mr. Williams. And you know, I I think sometimes it can put our coaches in a really awkward position. And so I think that by the administrators being the ones that
084some of that goes through, I think that really can help, you know, everybody be successful because I think they have the best of intentions. >> I'm trying to specify that the coaches in charge >> and >> yeah, you you did it really somewhere. who said they're the >> they're the CEO. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We do have some booster clubs that don't want to believe that. >> So, those are conversations I think had to have with some of them. I'm also concerned about some of the bookkeeping that goes on. So, I wanted to spell that out as well that we need more than one person involved in each booster club that's involved with the money. That's not happening in all of our clubs. >> I would like and I know this always gets everybody a
085little itchy. Um, when you talk about fundraising and uh I know in talking to another district, they have a very strict district policy that fundraising, whatever they're going to do, has to be approved prior to school starting. And then everybody knows that, you know, this team's going to do a car wash or or you know, however it's lined up. Um, we're so fortunate. Our community is so so supportive of our kids and our programs, but it does concern me when we have lots of asking and sometimes as the season's winding down and um you know, I'm sure there's lots of reasons for that, but I think that if we can have a consistent system, then everybody knows, okay, this group does this and this group And I would think from the administrative end of it
086kind of knowing um but I I I would like us to look at fundraising and and and that being because it says must be approved by the athletic director and school administration. It seems to me it would be easier to get all that done prior to school starting, but I'm not sitting in y'all's chairs. So >> I like the idea because you're right. Sometimes we get these halfhazard, oh we need money, so we're going to do this and I threw them a curveball this year by not giving them a budget. So they one of the coaches wanted me to pay for a hotel for an inseason tournament. I said no. >> So I think going forward it would make sense that we do know most of it ahead of time but sometimes we're hiring coaches
087after the year starts. >> Sure. Sure. >> Maybe it's more before the season that they're >> before their season starts. The golf team may not need to have their fundraiser ready right now, but >> before I mean, I'm just grabbing that one. I don't even know if they do fundraisers. >> So, Miss Baker, I understand what you're saying. So, like in our elementary schools, we know that Leno Elementary sells the butter break. >> Absolutely. >> We know that the elementary does cheesecakes. We know that um Garbo does the pies. You know, sixth grade does the candy bars. And they we hold them to that. So you can't have elementary schools crossing over and selling the butter braids because that belongs to Leno. >> And so we've been doing that for a while and it stays
088nice and clean and our community knows. I don't I don't even think you have to ask anymore. Oh, butter brakes Leno, you know, that type of things. >> I like that. I I can put something in there along those lines. >> Well, and I think visit with your coaches and your administrators on >> We can always make it flexible. you know, to the best of your ability, get all your fundraisers in before your season starts >> and you know, >> gives them some wiggle room to make some decisions >> because they have their schedules way in advance. They know if they're traveling. They know, you know, we're not talking postseason at all. >> You know, as a superintendent, I we we are truly we truly live in a very giving community. Oh my gosh. I
089mean they are our our Livingington community is constantly giving to our kiddos and to our and to their programs and they do it with a good heart. my fear as a superintendent that we are going to over ask and and deplete our community of things of giving. And so I never want to come across as a school system that we are constantly out in the community asking asking asking asking asking and we do have to put a limit on it. Um, you know, in the earlier about recommending that, uh, what we talked about about somebody, a booster club member having to have someone on the team to be a boost club member. I like the idea of putting in there, it's highly recommended because this would hurt our smaller programs like our cross country team.
090a lot of those um parents are are they cannot get off work to come work and then they're school employees so they cannot hold a position in the booster club. So we've had to pull in a past um parent who knows things and knows the ropes and has will >> and they care about the kids in the program. >> Yes. Yes. So I think we have to be really careful on how much parameters we put on that. So, I think it highly recommended, but I do see where you're coming from, but I don't want to hurt our our smaller programs that Yeah. >> And flexibility is always better. >> Yes. >> So, your coaches and and uh club sponsors have not seen this yet. >> No one has seen it except this is cute. >>
