3 through on New York St so really just kind of getting a sampling to sort of see um where students perform to gauge whether or not it's a good potential question for so different schools get selected for this um it's very similar actually to what you do field testing and region exams so um you know each year we'll get well not every year but typically we get one or two of the um from school subjects that will be field tests in so it's usually this time of year may is um when there's a window they send them out the students te them um and then we send them back to the state state does what they do and then maybe one day they will appear on one of the state exams um additionally we've had literacy Consultants continue do that's coming to an end for this school year but as I had said

District um still comping all the standards the same government I will say that the most tangible benefit working with this consorti is that we're going to take three or four to make sure that [Music] we 2021 contrology only coule Min things and we continue to so that we just comp close to the they cover is also so it's nice to see we in place place there's between vulnerabilities as well as the of by this as well as sec um we also just in terms of the technology Improvement we're adding a third technology [Music] Tech monthly monly 12 so so add [Music] thir things going be all the last thing I wanted to on was again understanding that we did not run support well we do need to discuss what we're going to do next this is most of [Music] them but we do have the option to to community for so I just want to take a moment we can a to the community in the next so I gu basic we can go back with the start school start um so again same scope different scope same vote earlier vote uh we do consideration for the additional that we had planned to at the end of this school year which response last year for2 too much and so my recommendation would be if there going to be we can simply continue to that numbers to be this year um for and we would be able to through schu [Music] yes um in the 2223 school year we wereing reserve funds that that amounted toly 1.5 million um in a employment benefit was during in the summer of 23 closed it was determined by the leers that the Elations had changed the opinions of the government had changed and so that specific Reserve was when that effec one% were just to almost 90% um into this we anticipate this year that we 1.5 million and we may have additional funds in this year's Surplus and eventually when those things they antip with those FS again tax so when we initially looking at plus Reserve F interest from towards what in cas [Music] [Music] [Music] what [Music] like to turn around coming in June that's we [Music] [Music] things that so example we had the players for [Music] it's um I think when they when they did the first they Engineers so long exping at least one L engineer so this week was that I'm expecting reimbursement to be so that's your done this in 27 hit number so [Music] it's change years so this evening we have for our communication specialist Lauren to be here I'm very disappointed but um back on June 14th I believe um she's so she was the be this evening she did for me she really wanted to also just plug just because I attend the P meeting they are meeting next Monday and I'm going be excited because uh is be there so I can bu disc everywhere local and some instructional really team def Learners really special education and the for classroom so the typ some um teaching models that we look at with parallel teaching stage teaching um one assist um one teach um One support so um just getting on the same page and talking the support that we can off our staff and um plan to needs of our students to sure some we continue to meet with them again just highlight that we've heard about region testing again from parents who not sure with the schedule is or or when this has been on you know at home so Mr home there is also link webs look for that but there I HED to shout out to schary council and um this and she's there as well on May 30th as required ER we do have and um counseling team and they established for this year the data that they presented um the mo event is around the survey so weing data from our students on their experience this year and how that improves things um that presentation is also linked there we sentence you me speak so place last week with s there again just um she in doing some Assessments in the classroom and then taking that data and uming up with the teachers to with their being sense and just a shout out to our teachers who spitted some mini grads so while many people think that teachers only work about 10 months out of the year we do have some really good getner teachers that are rooms to deep their over the summer and I just wanted to culate them I'll be sending them emails but anyone that's [Music] to give a huge shout out to our summer Scholars Program we have over 75 students over 75 students registered for summer Scholars so exciting so we have two sections of two sections of first um our 6789 is actually up to 17 that's fantastic that's usually the beach group um so I think that really speaks a lot to teachers who are working over the summer specifically to SP the director of our program and um as long as we have space to think someone is asking us we are as we to this we had another teaching so that's been great and we have twoy programs running school year sobody Well really excited they're all going to be housed at the high school in one place there's there's air conditioning there and um that would be really great sucess for set on Staffing sorry I didn't answer that question yes we're all set we're set with the students and we're set on the staff yes oh I'm so excited really excited w section so but we have had parents that unique situations and be with their teacher they may have had meetings since the end of the year since it closed anyway so we do look at each of the sections but um if someone forgot and we're already capacity we don't have it teacher style we we one teacher [Music] sob so um right nowr is kid um what would change significantly is depending on the description of um we would have to send out what we are proposing the program um meaning when is the structure or their students with disabilities integrated with students um in the general education completion is it a stand program not integrated that have to actually send a survey out to the to determine whether or not there is in need um because remember preschool County funded um some well special education scho County funded so we would have to send V to the county to see if there is a need for that particular type of program if it were then approve that yes there is a need and we were to create it we would have to um except students from all over the county um what we is that reimbursement reads aren't necessarily going to of that and additionally with that if you recall with the preas shortage um ERS and evaluators a couple years back I had said to the board at this point in time we want to Ober with the count so that our you know Speech Pathology hour PT Etc would be able to valuation for home that we not dealing with that backlog and then I was red to get reimbursed by the county and quite honestly the county um their contract doesn't align with um the the legal requirements that our um legal council was expected so we challenges that them so there's it's not just EAS as opening a classroom and saying hey we now have special 3K um there's a lot more to it and quite honestly the would would make [Music] um so there's two different programs so we will be doing the program that's eligible umet [Music] service [Music] t see our will home be just talking about the theall from [Music] specifically [Music] just [Music] [Music] that's [Music] me for [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so we have three questions actually two question comment have we so it is money is still being pa signic um so [Music] de that would be for any long to place project and then go on [Music] that would so that those bonds Place EXA I can see great 2024 20256 1.27 in7 1.45 in that 6 [Music] soing expenses in so what we would hope to do is replace the bonds that are falling off with so to the 234 you me that theal that [Music] with [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you know the your [Music] realistically you know if if we want [Music] [Music] morning [Music] [Music] seen so [Music] [Music] want so if it's not [Music] [Music] [Music] simply in there the textbooks [Music] answer is not exactly straightforward I can give you if that makes sense because to to do building based budgeting in certain so I can tell you now [Music] is73 million 26.7% of all that's so just point make all um our are not necessarily see in addition to the 2.27 million there's F oil expenses that would be between 50 and 73 that's you smooth footage percentage of the total bill versus the building area um numers El again prob very close, say of this number it's probably closer to 3 million might down one but knowing that the L would be humous decid [Music] to conversation we're discussing and then there's always that [Music] [Music] see [Music] is [Music] [Music] you [Music] you [Music] [Music] we and was all Administration St [Music] just ESP and you know we did you knowbody right the way it is stre field around and do whatever you do there but if it comes to
