There's
an
employee
resolution
under
d12.
There
are
several
resolutions
connected
with
the
steel
center
renovation
project,
which
I
had
discussed
at,
I
believe
the
planning
meeting
earlier
this
month.
There
are
three
agenda
items
connected
with
that
process,
which
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about.
They
simply
authorize
the
lease
that
will
be
connected
with
financial
bonds
that
will
fund
the
renovation
project
and
also
there
is
a
resolution
which
the
board
has
to
approve
that
appoints
a
member
to
the
steele
valley
authority.
G
All
of
the
financing
for
the
project
is
being
funneled
through
the
steel
valley
authority,
which
was
created
many
many
years
ago
and
is
being
revived
for
this
particular
project.
So
you
will
have
to
appoint
someone.
It
can
be
a
board
member.
It
could
be,
for
instance,
the
same
board
member
who
goes
to
still
centers
meetings,
miss
hoppy
or
it
could
be
somebody
from
the
community
who
has
experience
with
steel
center
in
the
past.
G
A
G
I
would
recommend
that
you
do
that
tonight
if
you're
prepared
to
do
that.
However,
you
you,
you
have
an
opportunity,
since
you
have
several
meetings
scheduled
in
september
to
appoint
that
person
at
a
september
meeting.
If
you
cannot
decide
upon
the
person
tonight,
the
steel
center
has
stated
that
all
joined
your
joints.
Your
districts,
have
to
approve
the
resolutions
and
appoint
somebody
by
the
end
of
september.
So
your
time
you're
well
within
your
timeline.
A

C
What
looks
to
be
another
great
school
year,
I'll
start
as
we
typically
do
at
the
business
meeting
and
share
with
the
board
a
little
bit
of
background
for
the
candidates
who
are
up
for
retirement
approval
on
the
agenda
tonight.
There
are
three
employees
who
have
submitted
their
intentions
to
retire:
derry
duragon
is
intending
to
retire.
In
june.
She
started
in
1994
as
a
life
skills
teacher
at
ims.
C
C
She
transferred
to
fifth
grade
teacher
and
the
last
couple
of
years
in
including
this
her
last
year,
she's
been
teaching
sixth
grade
at
neil
armstrong,
anna
scott
in
february
of
2002
started
as
a
substitute
paraprofessional
aide.
She
was
approved
in
september
of
2002
as
a
half-time
special
ed
paraprofessional
aide
at
memorial
in
august
of
2004.
She
moved
to
part-time
special
ed
at
ben
franklin
elementary
and
then
transferred
in
2005
to
neil
armstrong,
where
she
became
a
full-time
paraprofessional
in
november
of
2006.
C
She
moved
from
neil
to
the
high
school
and
that's
where
her
current
role
is
as
a
full-time
special
education
paraprofessional
when
she
retires
here
in
september
and
bill
blasis
started
with
the
district
in
august
of
2016
as
a
substitute
bus
driver
in
september.
A
few
weeks
later,
he
was
made
full-time
bus
driver
and
he
will
retire
from
that
position
this
year.
C
C
There
were
three
goals
that
this
committee
had
developed
for:
the
hr
focus
of
the
district.
Of
course,
this
was
an
important
group,
because
this
is
a
people
business
in
education.
We
have
a
great
number
of
important
people
that
help
move
this
district
forward.
The
first
piece
on
the
the
goal
was
to
look
at
the
staffing
current
staffing
and
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
long-range
plan
for
how
the
staffing
can
be
maximized
as
the
district
consolidates
and
moves
forward
with
our
building
projects.
C
The
second
goal
was
talking
about
employee
wellness
and
employees,
respect
and
connectivity
and
professional
development
that
there
is
just
a
little
bit
of
progress
there.
The
good
news,
I
think,
is
that
we
do
have
a
wellness
committee
in
place
that
has
been
meeting
quarterly
for
the
last
year
and
have
a
lot
of
ambitious
goals
in
mind
to
support
the
well-being
of
our
teachers,
staff,
support
staff
and
administrators
and
so
forth.
C
And
finally,
the
third
goal
is
relative
to
professional
development,
and
we
use
this
expression
earlier
in
the
week
with
our
teachers
and
kind
of
become
one
of
my
common
pet
phrases
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
great
teachers
in
bethel
park,
but
there's
also
opportunity
always
opportunity
for
us
to
get
better
and
so
our
our
responsibility
as
administrators
and
through
this
strategic
plan
we
want
to
start
polishing
those
diamonds
and
helping
everybody
reach
their
next
best.
So
there's
a
lot
in
that
section
of
the
strategic
plan
related
to
professional
development,
teacher
training,
coaching,
etc.
C
I
Great
we're
going
to
start
with
our
five
big
things.
As
you
know,
there's
always
many
more
than
five
wonderful
things
happening
at
bethel
park,
but
we
are.
I
had
to
pick
five
and
limited
to
five,
so
we're
going
to
start
with
slide
number
one.
It's
our
first
day
of
school.
It's
bp
day,
one,
the
22
23
school
year
begins
this
thursday
and
we
are
excited
to
share,
in
everyone's
experience
whether
you
are
sending
your
child
off
to
school
for
the
first
time
ever
or
if
this
is
an
old
routine.
I
By
now,
we
want
to
see
and
share.
Your
photos
simply
include
the
hashtag
bpday1,
along
with
your
child's
first
and
last
name
grade
level
school
and
any
message
you
wish
to
include,
and
we
will
do
our
best
to
boost
your
signal
and
your
spirits
and
it's
something
we
did
last
year
for
the
first
time,
and
I
think
we
had
a
lot
of
success
with
it.
It
was
really
fun.
It
was
really
exciting
to
see
people
kind
of
sending
their
child
off
to
school
for
the
first
time
and
we're
excited
to
do
it
again
this
year.
I
For
our
second
slide.
Speaking
of
welcoming
new
people,
we
welcomed
some
new
teachers.
Last
week
when
bethel
park
had
its
induction
teacher
induction
program,
the
new
teachers
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
and
learn
from
existing
staff
members
and
administrators
and
go
over
a
number
of
role-playing
exercises
to
help
prepare
them
for
their
new
jobs.
The
teachers
also
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
their
professional
mentors,
who
will
play
a
key
role
in
helping
them
acclimate
to
the
school
district.
I
Our
third
slide
tonight
is
about
the
new
traffic
patterns
at
bethel
park.
High
school,
the
start
of
the
new
school
year
will
also
bring
some
new
traffic
patterns
during
the
student
drop-off
times
remember.
This
only
affects
the
drop-off
times
not
not
the
afternoon,
and
the
changes
which
are
the
result
of
student
and
parent
feedback,
as
well
as
a
traffic
study
are
designed
to
make
the
campus
feel
less
congested
and
also
safer
for
all
bphs
students.
I
Last
year,
for
example,
most
of
the
traffic
was
diverted
into
the
student
parking
lot
and
that
led
to
a
few
close
calls.
So
we
did
a
good
job,
I
think,
of
identifying
those
problems
and
finding
ways
to
make
the
process
safer
and
more
convenient.
So
this
year,
parents
who
are
dropping
off
their
student
will
be
able
to
go
down
if
they
come
up.
Broad
street
they'll
be
able
to
go
down
to
the
circle
drop
off
their
student
right
in
front
of
the
school
and
then
make
their
way
back
out
down
broad
street.
I
I
Our
next
slide
is
actually
from
today
sean
rovers.
Earlier
today,
he
donated
2
820
to
upmc
children's
hospital
of
pittsburgh
on
behalf
of
his
non-profit
organization,
smiles
for
sean
all
of
that
money
is
collected
through
coin
donations
of
the
bethel
park
community.
So
this
is
really
a
bethel
park
achievement
as
much
as
it
is
a
sean,
a
smiles
for
sean
achievement
and
we're
very
proud
of
it.
Sean
who
continues
to
battle
a
rare
pediatric
brain
cancer,
a
type
of
central
nervous
system
sarcoma.
I
He
founded
smiles
for
sean
in
an
effort
to
bring
happiness
and
smiles
to
others
who
are
going
through
a
similarly
difficult
period
in
their
life,
we're
very
proud
of
that
organization
and
all
that
they've
made
they
have
raised
so
much
money.
It's
been
fabulous,
the
difference,
they've
made
and
double
park
as
a
community.
I
The
way
they've
responded
to
smiles
for
sean
has
been
consistently
remarkable
and
our
last
one
for
tonight
is
something
we're
really
excited.
It
actually
doesn't
start
until
the
winter,
but
we
learned
over
the
last
few
weeks
that
this
winter
bethel
park
will
add
a
new
sport
for
the
first
time
in
decades
when
it
adds
co-ed,
unified
indoor
bocce,
with
that
to
its
athletic
arsenal.
The
special
olympics
of
pennsylvania
oversees
the
fully
inclusive
program
which
brings
students
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities,
including
autism,
together
with
students
without
disabilities.
I
On
the
interscholastic
united
sports
team,
the
members
represent
their
school,
like
any
other
piaa
sports
team
competing
and
practicing
together
as
equal
peers,
and
they
even
earned
varsity
letters,
and
I
know
I
can
tell
you
that
I
worked
that
I
was
able
to
at
a
previous
stop.
We
had
one
of
those
teams
and
it's
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
stories
you
cover
in
a
year.
I
I
C
J
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
with
you
the
bright
spots
in
bethel
park
for
august
this
session
of
bright
spots.
We
are
calling
this
the
back
to
school
behind
the
scenes
edition,
and
so
we're
going
to
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
happening
throughout
the
summer
months
to
ensure
that
we
are
prepared
and
ready
to
go
back
to
school
for
the
22-23
school
year.
J
Mr
minch,
myself
and
mr
wexel
have
been
working
on
trying
to
get
that
process
as
automated
and
in
one
location
as
possible,
and
so
this
year
you
should
have
received
starting
the
second
week
of
august.
Automated
emails
asking
you
to
complete
your
returning
student
process,
and
this
is
for
all
students,
and
this
is
where,
when
you
log
into
the
home
access
center,
the
information
is
there
and
it
populates
from
what
you
already
put
in
there.
J
So
this
avoids
you
filling
out
multiple
sheets
and
office
cards
and
medical
cards
for
multiple
students
each
year,
and
so
the
information
is
there.
You
do
need
to
update
the
medical
information
each
year,
whether
your
child
can
have
tylenol
or
ibuprofen
or
cough
drops.
That
will
be
a
yearly
ask
of
you.
You
can
update
your
information
on
your
emergency
contact,
so
if
we
would
have
to
contact
you
and
release
your
child
who
your
child
can
be
released
to,
so
it's
really
important
that
this
information
is
updated
on
a
yearly
basis.
J
You
will
receive
two
emails
from
us
on
monday
and
thursdays
for
as
long
as
the
time
takes
for
you
to
complete
this
information.
It's
not
to
hound
you
again.
It's
just
to
get
all
of
that
critical
information
that
we
need
in
case.
We
would
need
to
contact
you
or
there
would
be
an
issue
with
your
child
new
this
year.
We
are
going
to
have
the
bus
information
in
hacks.
So
again
we
are
trying
to
get
everything,
one
stop
shopping
for
you,
so
you
have
all
of
the
information
in
one
place.
J
We
also
wanted
to
highlight
new
teacher
induction.
We
had
the
opportunity
this
was
dr
jan
santi
did
an
activity
with
our
new
teachers
to
get
them
into
the
bp
spirit,
and
we
all
had
an
opportunity
to
welcome
the
new
teachers
to
sit
down
with
them
and
get
some
information
about
them
and
share
some
expertise
and
some
things
that
we
do
here
at
bethel
park.
So
again,
we
welcome
all
the
new
teachers
to
bethel
park
for
the
22-23
school
year.
J
This
year,
under
the
new
teachers
contract,
we
had
a
new
event
called
the
summer
facilitators
retreat,
and
so
we
added
elementary
facilitators
this
year
to
our
already
very
strong
group
of
grade
5
to
12
facilitators.
So
we
added
an
elementary
ela
facilitator,
special
education,
math
science
and
social
studies,
and
so
we
brought
this
group
of
approximately
30
facilitators
teacher
leaders,
who've
applied
for
these
positions
to
lead
their
colleagues
and
to
be
a
support
to
the
principals
and
the
administration
staff
and,
of
course,
the
teaching
staff
for
their
departments.
J
We
brought
them
all
in
in
the
summer
and
had
our
first
ever
retreat
day
where
we
worked
on
team
building.
We
worked
on
the
goals,
reviewing
the
street
strategic
plan
and
the
roles
in
in-service,
because
in-service
is
a
daunting
task
that
we
could
not
do
alone
without
the
help
and
support
of
the
teachers
which
brings
us
to
our
convocation
led
by
dr
walsh,
and
he
brought
some
real
excitement
this
year
in
a
great
family,
shot
issue,
I
believe,
maybe
maybe,
and
he
we
played
family
feud
with
the
teachers
versus
the
administrators
he
gave
away.
J
K
K
K
He
is
an
incredible
instructional
leader
and
an
expert
in
human
centered
design,
so
him
and
I
collaborated
to
bring
this
session
to
the
teachers
called
the
design
process,
and
in
this
session
we
tried
to
walk
them
through
the
design
process
and
design.
Thinking
and
embedded
in
the
design
process
are
all
the
critical
skills
that
you
need
in
the
future
workforce.
Things
like
ideating,
building,
prototypes,
refining
your
your
ideas,
testing
them
out.
So
we
walked
through
that
and
we
talked
about
how
that
process
is
useful.
K
When
you
are
planning
instruction
when
you're
designing
your
classroom,
when
you
are
setting
the
culture
or
the
tone
in
your
classroom,
you
really
want
to
go
through
that
iterative
process
and
know
that
it's
not
always
just
it's
not
just
done.
You
want
to
keep
reflecting
and
really
empowering
the
students.
K
As
co-designers
in
that
space
to
make
the
decisions
around
those
things,
and
so
we
wanted
to
put
them
in
the
experience
as
a
designer,
so
in
the
afternoon
sorry,
in
the
morning
we
had
them
following
this
session,
do
a
design
challenge
called
the
many
hats
of
teaching,
and
we
asked
the
teachers
in
they
were
in
groups.
They
were
assigned
randomly,
so
they
were
mixtures
of
grade
levels,
content
areas
randomly
mixed
and
they
had
to
either
design
a
hat.
They
could
sketch
it
or
build
it
that
makes
teaching
more
engaging
or
more
efficient.
K
The
department
facilitators
were
fantastic
of
walking
the
teachers
through
that
design
process
empathizing.
What
is
what
are
the
problems
that
teachers
are
trying
to
solve?
How
do
we
define
that
problem?
How
can
we
help
that
problem?
What
can
we
build
here
is
one
of
our
fantastic
designs.
They
all
uploaded
their
designs.
They
were
all
in.
They
were
just
like
the
kids.
They
were
stealing
the
supplies,
taking
it
back
to
their
classrooms.
K
We
really
they
were
very
engaged
and
it
was
nice
to
see
them
collaborating
and
working
together
and
working
with
people
that
they
don't
get
to
work
with
every
day
and
we
did
use
a
tool
called
wakelet.
It's
a
digital
curation
tool
and
so
each
facilitator
uploaded
their
team's
design.
So
we
now
have
a
gallery
that
we
shared
out
today
where
everybody
could
see
each
other's
designs,
and
we
really
were
impressed
with
the
creativity
among
the
staff.
K
I
want
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
stacy
klosek
she's,
our
administrative
assistant,
a
lot
of
work
behind
the
scenes
to
prepare
for
this
design
challenge
making
mobile
maker
carts.
Every
teacher
got
a
clipboard
with
bullet
journal
paper
so
that
they
could
sketch
the
design
of
the
hat
start
thinking
about
their
classroom,
design
and
sketching
that
she
and
I
worked
all
summer
to
collect
recyclables
for
the
design
challenge
and
central
office.
K
Everyone
donated
hats,
so
we
had
a
really
nice
collection
of
hats
for
the
teachers
to
use
for
those
that
built
it,
and
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment.
A
lot
of
behind
the
scenes.
Work
happens
with
the
instructional
cabinet.
That
is
dr
walsh,
myself
miss
wells,
dr
ginsante,
dr
dr
minch,
dr
shu,
mr
slesak,
mr
linoski,
and
we
meet
monthly.
We
were
meeting
more
than
monthly
really
trying
to
get
this
curriculum
mapping
process
off
the
ground,
and
so
that
started
in
june
and
it
had
a
lot
of
thoughtful
work
over
the
summer.
K
To
you
know,
we
can
successfully
say
at
the
end
of
yesterday
that
every
teacher
has
their
accountant
atlas.
Every
teacher
has
the
course
that
they're
developing
everyone
had
the
opportunity
to
start
exploring
in
that
system,
and
we
decided
to
traditionally
bethel
park
had
a
paper
binder
curriculum
guide
and
we
were
able
to
convert
with
all
new
information
all
the
resources
that
we
have
been
sharing
with
the
staff
along
the
way.
K
There's
a
tab
dedicated
to
universal
design
for
learning
something
we're
also
really
trying
to
keep
that
focus
on
the
framework
tools
that
are
specific
to
navigating
atlas
and
also
a
tab
that
we're
referring
to
as
what
works
and
really
trying
to
along
the
way,
curate
best
practices
and
and
research
that
we
know
can
guide
them
in
making
good
instructional
decisions.
So
we
really
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
people
that
are
behind
the
scenes,
helping
to
make
sure
that
we
get
off
to
a
successful
start.
F
A
M
Lauren,
moore
and
753
marvel
valley
drive
bethel
park
pa.
I
have
a
daughter
who
is
dyslexic,
so
she
gets
reading
support
very
smart
girl,
very
capable,
but
she
does
get
reading
support
and
going
into
sixth
grade.
She
was
super
excited
to
take
foreign
language
and
I
get
her
schedule
and
it's
not
on
there.
M
So
I
call
thinking
it
was
a
mistake
and
she
said
they
told
me
no,
because
she
did
not
perform
well
on
her
pssas
that
she
can't
take
it,
and
I
said
well,
I
think,
that's
wrong
because
she
should
be
off
just
because
she
has
a
disability.
She
should
be
able
to
take
that
class
and
part
of
the
reason
was.
Foreign
language
is
offered
the
same
time
as
reading
support,
so
they
did
work
with
me.
We
got
her
in
foreign
language
and
she
pulled
a's
in
all
the
foreign
languages.
M
It
states
that
this
prohibits
discrimination
based
on
disability
in
any
program
or
activity
operated
by
recipients
of
federal
funds
and
examples
of
the
types
of
discrimination,
prohibited
include
inequitable,
access
to
education,
programs,
facilities,
denial
of
free,
appropriate
public
education
for
elementary
and
secondary
students,
and
refusal
to
implement
or
implementation
of
academic
adjustments
in
higher
education,
and
I
feel
like
this
proposal
is
in
direct
violation
of
that
part
of
this
is
a
scheduling
problem.
They
don't
have
to
adjust
the
schedule
another
time
period
to
put
it
in.
M
So
I
think
more
time
periods
should
be
offered
and
also
a
timely
issue.
There's
only
so
much
time
in
the
day,
and
if
that's
the
case,
then
the
iep
teams,
the
parents
and
the
students
should
decide
what
is
left
off
their
schedule
and
they
should
not
be
punished
because
they
don't
do
well
on
standardized
tests.
O
P
P
E
A
B
L
E
A
I'm
sorry
the
person
in
the
audience
just
spoke
just
for
clarification.
That
was
the
we
had
other
comments
on
that.
Also
we
tabled
that
and
some
of
the
discussion
we
have
previously
is
that
there's
still
a
need.
You
know
to
identify
students
who
need
that
extra
help,
because
it
only
gets
worse
as
they
go
through
subsequent
grades,
but
I
think
what
we're
thinking
about
in
some
previous
discussions,
it
has
to
be
more
than
just
pssa
scores
as
the
identification.
N
A
A
E
J
Thank
you.
Yes,
what
this
is
is
this
is
just
a
one-page
document
of
the
tests
that
we
offer
here
at
bethel
park
that
are
a
district
offering.
So
the
first
test
is
the
dibbles
test.
This
is
a
grades
k-2
test.
This
test
is
done
by
either
the
reading
specialist,
the
ist
teacher
or
the
classroom
teachers
of
those
grades.
It
depends
on
the
school
buildings
it's
done
within
the
five
elementary
schools.
They
schedule
it
independently
on
a
time
that
works
good
for
them
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
J
It
is
a
universal
screener,
and
so
it
looks
at
the
students.
Initial
sounds
their
phoneme
blending
or
segmentation
nonsense
words,
and
it
is
used
to
identify
students
that
might
need
extra
reading
supports
and
then
they
will
receive
those
services.
The
map
test.
This
is
our
measure
of
academic
progress.
This
is
nwe
map
growth.
Last
year
was
the
first
year
we
gave
this
test.
This
is
a
k-8
assessment.
It
is
given
in
math
and
ela.
It
is
done
three
times
a
year
for
students
in
grades,
one
through
eight.
J
We
do
not
do
this
in
the
fall
with
our
kindergarten
students.
We
utilize
that
time
to
work
on
getting
them
used
to
being
in
school.
We
don't
want
to
put
them
on
a
test.
This
is
an
adaptive
test.
It
is
given
three
times
a
year
and
then
we
have
the
in
view
exam.
This
is
given
as
a
screening
test
in
grades
two
and
six.
This
is
administered
in
november,
and
this
is
a
requirement
I
believe,
mr
minch.
C
J
I
will
define
the
map
and
then
I'm
going
to
pass
it
over
for
chapter
15
for
the
special
education
department,
the
adaptive
test
on
the
map.
It
is
a
test
that,
when
you
based
on
your
percentage
of
answers,
correct
it
moves.
So
if
you
are
in
third
grade,
you
will
start
off
with
what
is
typical,
pa
core
third
grade
questions
and
then,
as
you
answer
questions
correctly,
the
questions
get
more
difficult
in
caliber
in
terms
of
grade
level
information.
J
And
so
then
the
reporting
we
get
for
each
student
looks
at
the
anchors
of
the
pennsylvania
standards.
And
so
then
teachers
receive
a
report
for
each
student,
knowing
strengths
and
weaknesses
in
those
standard
areas
and
then
how
best
to
help
instruct
students
where
they
actually
are
during
that
time
period.
So
it's
not
summative
that
it's
taken
at
the
end
of
the
year.
We
do
this
three
times
a
year,
so
that
we
can
monitor
what
the
students
are
learning
and
how
they're
growing.
Q
And
for
my
part,
in
the
chapter
15
for
service
agreements,
other
people
might
use
the
term
504
service
agreements.
That's
all
the
legislation
that
goes
behind
protection
of
students
with
disabilities
that
don't
have
an
iep,
but
have
some
a
disability
that
substantially
affects
their
progress
at
school.
I'm
sorry,
you
said
chap
I'm
sorry,
the
in-view
testing
we're
talking
about
right
now,
apologize
skip,
so
in
view
testing.
Yes
for
gifted
chapter
16.,
someone
said
yeah,
someone
yeah
that
got
me
off
there.
K
Students
need
to
be
assessed
in
those
three
areas
and
in
those
intervals
and
again
those
are
a
summative
test
given
once
a
year,
and
they
are
based
on
the
standards
that
the
teachers
are
teaching
throughout
the
school
year
and
the
keystones
are
just
a
little
bit
different.
They
are
not
taken
at
a
particular
grade
level
they're
taken
at
the
completion
of
that
course.
So,
for
example,
the
keystone
algebra
exam
is
taken
at
the
conclusion
of
an
algebra
course.
So
a
student
who's
taking
algebra
in
eighth
grade
would
take
the
algebra
keystone
in
eighth
grade.
K
At
the
conclusion
of
that
course,
some
students
take
algebra
in
ninth
grade
or
tenth
grade.
They
would
take
that
keystone
exam
at
the
end
of
that
course.
The
same
applies
for
biology.
Literature
is
is
a
little
more
consistent.
It
is
taken
at
grade.
Ten
biology
is
typically
taken
at
grade
nine,
with
with
some
variation,
but
not
as
much
variation
as
the
algebra
and
at
times
students
do
take
those
exams.
They
can't
take
those
again
and
try
to
improve
their
score
because
they're
they
can.
K
They
need
the
score
to
graduate
beginning
with
this
year's
class
under
act
158.
It
is
a
part
of
their
graduation
pathway,
so
at
times
students
we
would
recommend
they're
not
required,
but
we
recommend
do
you.
One
of
the
pathways
is
involves
passing
those
exams
that
students
can
have
another
shot
at
them
to
try
to
improve
their
composite
score.
K
E
E
Okay.

and
talk
both
about
lacrosse
and
also
about
his.
You
know
passion
for
students

he

or
a

bit
earlier.
We're
glad
she's
a
part
of
our
team
in
second

at
lincoln.
So
my
apologies
to
bro
blair
thank.
A
H
I
can
under

resolution

H
I
did
have
a
comment
on
item
number
one.
So
nr1
is
the
acceptance
of
the
whole
kids
foundation
garden
grant.
So
for
that
item.
That
was
a
neil
armstrong
that
was
selected
for
a
3,
000
garden
grant.
Our
application
was
selected
from
over
1200
applications
received
from
across
the
us
and
canada.
Dr
walsh,
could
you
let
us
know
a
little
more
that
about
that
and
who
applied
for
that.
K
K
They
were
growing
lettuce
and
they
had
a
bigger
vision
for
the
project
and
they
wanted
things
that
are
called
tower
gardens
and
so
the
tower
garden
again
it
only
uses
water,
the
seedlings
they
go
in.
Oh,
I
forget
what
the
name
of
it's
called,
but
you
don't
use
any
soil,
it's
all
water,
but
the
tower
gardens
are
these.
They
grow
vertically,
and
so
we
will
be
able
to
really
multiply
our
supply
of
lettuce
and
his
vision
for
the
project
was
that
the
lettuce
would
be
served
in
the
cafeteria
and
metz.
K
Our
food
service
group
is
a
partner
with
us
on
the
project,
and
so
they
will
be
doing
different
tastings
with
salads.
He
was
going
to
work
with
students
in
his
health
class
about
different
ways.
You
can
prepare
salads
different
salad,
dressings
that
you
can
make
so
really.
It
has
gone
from
a
very
small
project
in
a
locker
for
three
and
now
for
three
thousand
dollars
to
be
able
to
purchase
to
to
tower
gardens.
That
will
really
multiply
our
harvests
of
lettuce.
So
I
I
want
to
compliment
him.
K
K
L
K
He
uses
all
natural
sources
of
protein.
He
it
was
a
learning
experience
for
all
of
us
and
we're
partnering
with
the
the
create
lab
at
carnegie
mellon
and
we're
trying
to
incorporate
it
with
a
data
fluency
project,
because
what
came
out
of
the
project
was
were
curiosities
about
how
things
were
growing.
What
made
them
grow
more?
What
could
make
them
grow
less?
They
wanted
to
look
at
different
things
within
the
environment
that
could
make
growth
better
and
it
could
hinder
growth.
So
it's
a
really
small
seed
that
I
am
super
excited
about.
H
L
You
very
much,
but
I
just
wanted
to
inform
everybody.
This
is
like.
I
was
amazed
at
how
well
this
tasted
how
much
these
kids
knew
about
this
project.
The
whole
thing
so
to
get
more
money
and
to
get
it
as
a
grant
to
continue
this
and
see
where
this
can
grow
too.
It's
the
best
word
to
use
is
phenomenal.
Yeah.
K
And
compliments
to
mr
espinar
because
it
really
is
student-driven.
It
came
from
their
curiosity
about
why
we
can't
why
we
live
in
an
area
that
we
can't
have
gardens
in
the
winter
and
it
started
from
there.
So
compliments
to
a
great
teacher
who
was
willing
to
take
the
vision
of
the
students
and
carry
it
through.
K
H
H
Yeah,
I
also
had
a
question
on
item
number
four,
the
sale
of
a
district
vehicle.
It
was,
I
guess
it
just
struck
me
that
we
were
selling-
I
guess
it
does
say-
dispose
of
an
old
ford
f-450
for
a
thousand
dollars,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
indeed
scrapping
that
and
it
wasn't
being
sold
for.
B
E
H
A
L
C
L
A
S
S
C
S
F
A
S
P
R
H
P
I
want
to
wish
everybody
a
very,
very
happy
school
year.
I
also
want
to
say
congratulations
to
sean
rover,
he's
an
awesome
kid
and
neighbor
and
friend
he
does
great
work
with
smiles
from
sean
and
I'm
very
excited
that
we're
getting
the
unified
indoor
bocce
team.
We
got
to
the
top
of
the
waiting
list
for
that
and
mr
cromey
mentioned
it
and
he's
absolutely
right
in
districts
that
have
unified
sports
teams,
the
amount
of
participation
of
school
spirit
of
acceptance
and
inclusion,
and
truly
joining
together
in
celebration
of
a
sport.
It's
amazing!
P
P
L
Whatever
we're
going
to
call
it
we're
back
and
we're
back
in
force,
and
we
have
the
kids
in
the
classrooms
and
on
friday,
I
would
really
encourage
everybody
in
the
district
to
show
their
hawk
spirit
so
on
fridays.
I
would
really
like
it.
If
everybody,
you
don't
have
to
wear
your
ben
franklin
shirt
or
your
memorial
shirt
or
your
washington
shirt
or
your
pen
shirt,
but
if
you
have
it
wear
it,
if
not
just
wear
something.
That's
orange
or
black.
Put
your
kid
in
an
orange
shirt.
L
That
day,
I
think
we
just
need
to
do
it
district-wide,
and
then
I
would
hope
that
mr
cromey
gets
out
there
to
take
those
pictures
of
all
those
smiling
faces
and
all
their
black
and
orange
show
the
blackhawk
pride
and
the
other
thing
that
we
all
did
most
of
us,
some
of
us,
some
of
them
still
don't
know
it
is
saying
our
alma
mater
on
monday
morning.
I
would
really
encourage
our
music
staff
out
there
to
get
those
little
kids
in
that
elementary
school
to
learn
this
alma
mater.
