So
right
now
we
have
two
major
things
going
on
to
wrap
up
the
year.
Our

took
place,
so
all
Student,
Government
officers,
executive
board,
members
and
Senators
for
next
school
year
have
been
elected.
The
other
big
thing
going
on
right
now
is
Staff
appreciation
week,
which
will
take
place
next
week.
Throughout
the
week
we
will
have
lunches
breakfast
and
gifts
to
show
our
appreciation
for
the
teachers
at
the
high
school.
Thank
you

B
I
Yes
hi:
this
is
Vanessa
I'm
filling
in
for
Jackie
I'm,
the
treasurer
up
at
the
Ben
Franklin
PTO
at
Abraham
Lincoln.
They
held
their
annual
science,
fair
and
art
expo
on
Tuesday
April
11th.
The
students
probably
displayed
45
science
projects
in
65
pieces
of
art
for
their
friends,
family
and
Lincoln
students
and
staff
to
see
congratulations
to
all
of
the
students
for
working
so
hard
to
complete
such
amazing
work.
They
also
just
wrapped
up
a
fantastic
week
of
the
Scholastic
Book
Fair
and
our
busy
planning
some
fun
end
of
year
activities.
I
Ben
Franklin
held
their
annual
parents
night
out,
which
is
their
fundraiser.
It
was
a
huge
success.
They
also
held
their
annual
Art
and
Science
Fair,
with
some
amazing
projects
from
all
grade
levels,
Washington
hosted
their
Wii
run
along
with
Ben

last
week
in
preparation
for
the
kids

Washington's
talent

where
students
and
staff
showcase
their
amazing
talents
will
be
held.
This
Friday
at
the
IMs
Auditorium
William
Penn
Elementary,
held
their
annual
science
and
art
fair.
There
were
so
many
great
projects
displayed
throughout
the
school.
I
They
had
multiple
science
related
table,
set
up
ice
cream
and
had
a
great
turnout

the
fabulous
message

the
PTO

PT.
The
IMs
ptso
is
busy
planning
for
staff,
appreciation
and
end-of-year
celebrations
for
the
students.
Thank
you.
J
I
and
I
just
want
to
take
this
brief
opportunity
just
to
to
to
provide
some
points
of
information
about
an
item
later
in
the
agenda,
and
that
is
F1
and
it
correlates
to
the
school
code.
School
code
isn't
a
unique
piece
of
legislation
in
state
law
that
is
has
to
be
re-adopted
annually,
and
so
every
year
we
have
the
school
code,
which
is
a
very
large
piece
of
of
legislation
at
the
state
level,
and
it
is
tweaked
every
year
through
the
legislative
process.
J
So
as
it
stands
right
now,
and
that
typically
happens
in
May
or
June.
So
right
now,
lots
of
different
bills
are
being
introduced
and
at
both
the
the
house
and
the
Senate
to
make
these
modest
and
sometimes
less
than
modest
adjustments
to
the
school
code.
And
then
we
find
out
in
June
what
what
our
school
code
will
look
like
for
23
24
school
year.
Right
now
there
are
68
proposed
amendments
from
the
house
to
the
school
code
and
there's
a
whole
range
of
different
topics
that
addresses
on
the
Senate
side.
J
There
are
10
proposed
pieces
of
legislation,
each
of
those
are
going
through
the
education
Committee
in
the
respective
legislative
bodies.
One
of
the
pieces
of
legislation
in
both
the
house
and
the
Senate
is
House
Bill
and
Senate
Bill
180,
and
this
proposes
the
the
provision
of
Universal
meals
for
students
K-12,
regardless
of
of
income
status
with
some
some
other
caveats
in
terms
of
federal
funding.
So
I
just
want
to
note
that
this
that,
right
this
evening
before
the
board
is,
is
a
resolution
of
support.
J
This
would
not
be
local
adoption
of
this
particular
item,
but
simply
adding
your
voice
should
a
majority
of
the
board
wish
to
do
so
to
the
legislative
item,
and
so,
if
there's
any
questions
about
that,
let
me
know,
but
I
understood
that
there
were
some
in
the
community
who
wanted
to
know
if
this
was
if
they
were
getting
free,
lunches
and
I.
Don't
I
can't
handicap
for
you
right
now
the
likelihood
of
success,
but
it
would
have
to
be
funded
at
a
very
high
level
entirely
by
the
state.
J
There
is
a
good
amount
of
arpa
money
and
money,
that's
kind
of
from
the
federal
government.
That's
flowed
to
the
state
resulting
in
in
some
good
amount
of
fun
sitting
in
Harrisburg
for
a
whole
number
of
of
a
whole
host
of
projects,
but
there
are
lots
of
different
parts
of
government
that
are
vying
for
those
dollars
so
that
this
is
simply
one
of
the
proposed
pieces
of
legislation
that
that
addresses.
So
that
said,
thank
you.
K
L
M
N
Report,
thank
you,
Mr
Christensen,
good
evening.
Everyone
I'll
start
with
a
couple
of
recognitions
or
announcements.
April
is
Autism,
Awareness
Month,
and
it's
that
time
where
we
reflect
on
our
progress
and
reaffirm
our
commitment
to
supporting
and
responding
to
the
needs
of
people
on
the
autism
spectrum
now
and
in
the
future.
N
We've
learned
so
much
about
the
needs
and
aspirations
of
those
on
the
Spectrum
and
from
their
parents
and
community
members.
As
we
learn,
we
all
learn
and
grow
alongside
of
them.
We
certainly
have
a
lot
to
learn
about
our
students
on
the
Spectrum,
but
we
know
for
certain
that
we
are
a
better
school
system,
a
better
District,
Better
Community,
because
they're
in
it
second
announcement
is
that
March
or
probably
April
is
also
a
military
family
month,
and
so
we
joined
all
of
our
military
families
in
honoring
the
contributions
and
sacrifices
that
they
make.
N
Statistically
they
move
every
two
to
three
years:
change:
schools,
six
to
nine
times
from
when
they
start
kindergarten
until
they
graduate
from
high
school
and
so
as
a
district
with
some
military
families.
We
will
work
to
ensure
that
our
military
children
have
access
to
the
support
and
resources
they
need,
knowing
those
extra
challenges
that
they
have
to
overcome.
N
N
We
start

N
So
there
are
our
retirees
that
you
have
on
tonight's
agenda
for
approval
and
the
last
part
of
my
agenda
will
be
to
to
give
the
board
an
update
on
the
Strategic
plan
this
month.
We're
going
to
talk
about
curriculum
and
instruction
and
for
this
I'm
focused
on
curriculum
instruction
goals,
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we've
made
good
progress
on
these
goals
and
the
related
action
steps.
Since
I
last
reported
to
you
six
months
ago.
First
in
the
spotlight
is
a
goal
for
a
complete
curriculum
review.
N
N
Also
embedded
in
this
overarching
goal
is
to
improve
the
curriculum,
development
and
revision
process
I'm
pleased
to
say
we
had
a
great
year
of
growth
in
this
area.
We
now
have
facilitators
in
place
for
all
curriculum
areas
in
the
K-12
program
of
study
and
these
facilitators
meet
every
month
with
their
department
members
to
discuss
curriculum
and
programming.
N
We've
also
held
two
curriculum
and
Council
meetings
this
year
to
consider
Department
proposals
for
any
and
all
updates
to
the
curriculum.
In
a
couple
of
weeks,
at
the
May
9th
curriculum
committee
meeting
of
the
board,
we
will
present
the
recommendations
that
came
from
the
spring
council
meeting.
It
is
a
pleasure
to
report
to
the
board
that
the
faculty
and
administration
are
now
seeing
curriculum
as
a
dynamic
ever-evolving
process
in
Bethel
Park.
The
days
of
five-year
adoption
Cycles
had
given
way
to
the
Mantra
of
continuous
Improvement.
This
is
a
huge
shift.
N
Another
goal
where
we
have
made
some
progress
is
moving
the
district
into
an
mtss
structure
for
our
interventions
and
enrichment.
It's
our
goal
to
have
the
right
intervention
systems
and
programs
available
that
do
not
over
accommodate
for
students
or
under
expect
from
them.
We
also
want
every
teacher
to
see
themselves
as
an
intervention
specialist.
It's
our
goal
to
have
tiers
or
leveled
systems
of
interventions
for
students
who
are
showing
signs
of
academic
struggle
and
based
on
evidence.
Each
tier
becomes
more
involved,
more
systematic,
more
explicit
and
more
teacher
directed.
N
We
talk
about
just
right,
leveled
books
for
kids.
So
too
should
our
interventions
be
just
right
to
get
a
bit
more
specific,
we
are
currently
working
to
firmly
re-establish
the
roles
of
our
existing
intervention
programs
and
Specialists.
We
expect
the
systems
to
work
well
everywhere,
and
we
expect
everyone
to
understand
their
role
in
the
intervention
system.
N
N
This
is
a
reading
and
math
benchmarking
system,
where
teachers
can
get
useful
data
about
their
students,
skills
and
track
their
growth
over
time.
We
are
starting
to
see
Trends
in
the
data
that
is
helping
to
drive
decision
making,
like
the
interventions.
I
just
talked
about
it's
very
much
worth
the
investment.
N
The
fourth
goal
relates
to
improving
performance
on
the
major
assessments,
the
pssa
keystones
and
AP
exams.
We
made
progress
in
two
areas.
First,
we're
wrapping
up
year,
two
of
the
third
year
of
three
years
of
the
nimsy
national
math
science
initiative;
partnership,
which
directs
significant
professional
development
to
advance
placement
teachers
and
provide
support
and
tutoring
to
AP
students,
and
the
impact
has
been
substantial.
Our
AP
scores
are
up
and
our
AP
course
and
test
participation
are
also
up.
N
N
The
other
area
of
growth
for
goal
number
four-
has
been
our
valuation
of
software
to
assist
skills
as
primary
assist
teachers
with
skills
reform
reinforcement,
particularly
in
math
and
reading.
The
Administration
has
assessed
the
usage
of
these
online
tools
to
determine
the
volume
of
traffic
the
sites
are
getting
and
thereby
determine
the
necessity
and
usefulness
of
the
sites.
N
Our
strategic
plan
makes
reference
to
Apex
and
study
island
as
two
of
those
recommended
tools.
However,
we
should
we
believe
we
should
be
more
laser,
guided
with
our
tool
selection
instead
of
casting
such
a
wide
expansive
net.
We
have
two
such
systems
for
your
consideration
at
the
curriculum
council
meeting
on
May
9th.
N
This
goal
area
is
implementing
a
high
quality
experiential
steam
program.
Here
is
another
goal
where
the
sum
progress
has
been
made
on
specific
programs.
The
Invention
land
program,
for
instance
at
the
middle
schools,
went
extremely
well.
This
year
our
students
thrived
and
our
teachers
embraced
the
whole
program,
masterfully
I
can
say
with
confidence.
Our
attention
to
the
steam
program
and
experiences
growing,
particularly
in
the
design
of
the
new
Elementary
building,
to
be
fair
in
the
reporting
I
acknowledge
there
are
several
action
steps
under
the
five
goals
which
have
not
received
any
attention.
N
Steps
such
as
special
ed
caseload,
parity
I
believe
we
need
to
get
udl
mtss
right
for
all
staff
before
we
address
specifics
for
individual
staff
and
finally,
steam
goals
are
taking
a
back
seat
to
the
curriculum
revision
work
and
the
professional
development
time
dedicated
to
instructional.
Improvement
I
can
assure
you,
the
administrators,
have
paid
careful
attention
to
the
design
of
the
stream's
faces
in
the
new
elementary
school
and
there's
a
vision
for
how
stream
will
be
expanded.
But
for
now
our
focus
is
on
whole-scale
curriculum
and
instructional
progress.
N
So,
as
I
said
before,
this
strategic
plan
is
very
ambitious.
There
are
six
buckets
of
goals:
there
are
17
Broad
and
ambitious
goals
and
96
action
steps
to
achieve
those
goals,
we're
pleased
with
this
progress
and
we're
seeing
changes
in
Bethel
Park.
It's
worth
saying
repeatedly
that,
with
these
goals,
we're
talking
about
seismic
shifts
and
our
foundations,
we're
update,
we're
updating
or
outright
changing
the
cornerstones
and
keystones
of
our
curriculum.
Each
one
is
vital.
Each
one
will
make
a
significant
difference
in
the
current
and
future
experience
in
Bethel
Park.
N
These
shifts
take
time
to
accomplish,
and
it
takes
even
more
time
for
it
to
approve
to
achieve
the
long-term
academic
growth
we
seek
in
being
Best
in
Class,
to
paraphrase
a
classic
saying,
we'll
keep
our
feet
firmly
planted
in
the
ground,
but
keep
reaching
for
the
stars.
I
close
by
extending
my
appreciation
for
your
support
as
a
board.
Your
commitment
and
your
patience
and
I
extend
the
same
to
our
faculty
and
administrators
for
doing
this,
heavy
lifting
and
now
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Mr
crummy
for
his
five
big
things.
O
So,
as
you
know,
there
are
always
more
than
five
great
things
happening
at
Bethel
Park.
So
if
you
haven't
been
included,
please
no
Angry
letters,
no
threatening
videos
we'll
get
to
you
and
and
because
we
have
to
limit
it
to
five
I'm,
not
going
to
mention
that
Mason
Miller
or
former
Bethel
Park
pitcher
made
his
major
league
debut
last
week
hit
over
a
hundred
on
the
gun
15
times
during
that
game
and
he'll
make
a
second
start
tonight
at
9,
38
Eastern
on
MLB
Network
I
will
not
talk
about
that.
O
What
we
will
talk
about
is
speaking
of
fabulous
athletes.
We
have
a
young
lady,
a
junior.
Her
name
is
Artemis
cona
boy,
two
weekends
ago
the
Bethel
Park
Junior
was
the
top
3A
finisher
in
the
400
meters
that
the
tstca
Championships
at
West
Mifflin
her
time
of
57.71
seconds
Burke
her
own
school
records.
At
just
two
weeks.
Prior
at
the
Mount
Lebanon
Invitational,
the
previous
Mark,
had
stood
for
49
years.
O
Artemis
also
broke
a
30
year
old
school
record
in
the
100
meters,
with
a
time
of
12.48
seconds,
and
the
previous
record
of
12.54
seconds
was
set
by
Melanie
Denson
in
1993.,
Artemis
I
believe
she
can
crack
the
200
meters
before
the
season's
over
as
well,
which
would
be
incredible.
This
is
truly
one
of
the
great
athletes
in
the
history
of
Bethel
Park.
O
O
Am
I
fighting
you
Mr
Pictionary.
Here
we
are
okay,
Mr
Dave
espinar,
who
is
a
fabulous
teacher.
He
and
his
students
at
the
Neil
Armstrong
Middle
School
Hydroponics
Club
have
grown
a
number
of
vegetables,
including
lettuce,
kale
cucumbers,
green
beans
and
tomatoes
and
their
hydroponic
Towers.
Tomorrow
they
will
share
their
Bounty
from
the
past
30
days
with
our
friends
at
shim,
which
has
a
nice
program
for
helping
to
feed
area
families
in
need.
O
According
to
espinar,
the
students
come
down
to
his
classroom
during
opportune
times
in
our
schedule,
including
things
like
homeroom
elective
classes
and,
of
course,
during
recess
to
help
tend
to
their
towers.
I
had
a
chance
to
see
it
last
week,
it's
incredible
what
they're
doing
is
really
remarkable
and
it's
something
we
should
be
very
proud
of.
O
The
environmental
club,
which
is
just
in
its
first
year
previously
partnered
with
Tree
Pittsburgh
to
plant
trees
near
the
high
school's
Church
Road
entrance,
and
they
also
organized
a
cleanup
event
behind
the
hillside
of
the
Bethel
Park
in
Walmart,
and
that
was
it's
incredible.
What
they've
done
in
just
their
first
year?
The
membership
of
that
group
is
incredible
and
the
impact
they're.
Having
is
something
again
that
makes
me
very
proud
to
be
associated
with
Bethel
Park.
O
Our
fourth
one
was
recently
had
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
invention,
Land
Design
challenge,
Neil
Armstrong,
Middle
School
sixth
graders
recently
presented
a
series
of
innovative
inventions
to
a
panel
of
Judges,
including
for
one
of
the
sessions
me
in
a
shark
tank
style.
Competition
I
was
ruthless
as
part
of
the
invention,
land
education's,
Regional,
invention
contest.
The
inventions
were
as
diverse
and
creative
as
the
students
who
created
them
and
they
included,
among
other
things,
board,
games,
backpack,
caddies,
gym
shoe
covers,
and
banana
peelers.
O
You
don't
know
you
needed
a
banana
peeler,
but
you
do
now
the
inventions
deemed
the
best
according
to
a
scored
rubric,
which
considered
the
student's
presentation
abilities,
including
a
commercial
they
all
produced,
Advanced
to
the
regional
competition,
on
May,
17th
and
last,
but
certainly,
not
least.
Last
week
we
had
an
opportunity
to
students
at
Franklin.
O
Elementary
School
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
J.A
BizTown
Junior
achievements,
BizTown,
which
is
a
Model
Town,
helped
to
design
to
help
teach
students,
financial
literacy,
the
kids
worked
in
various
jobs
and
exchanged
Commerce,
just
like
a
real
economy
and
the
high
school's
Junior
Achievement
members
were
also
part
of
the
event.
Fortunately,
for
us,
PA
auditor,
general
Timothy
defore
was
also
on
hand
to
visit
the
property
and
meet
with
the
students,
and
he
also
swore
in
the
mayor
of
Biztown
for
the
day.
Fourth
grader

Henderson.
So
that's
all
I
have
for
you.
N
A
Thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone
tonight
I
wanted
to
focus
on
something
that
we've
been
working
on
in
collaboration
with
the
student
Support
Services
in
all
of
the
academic
standards
that
we
focus
on.
It's
also
very
important
that
we
educate
the
whole
child,
and
this
is
really
where
the
best
of
curriculum
and
instruction
and
student
and
support
services
come
together
and
collaborate,
and
we
have
been
offering
an
after-school
program
this
year.
A
It
began
in
March
and
we'll
go
through
May,
and
there
are
six
sessions
that
are
twice
a
month
and
they
are
for
students
in
grades,
one
through
eight
that
were
referred
through
a
variety
of
ways,
whether
it
be
through
the
principal,
a
teacher
through
the
sap
team.
We
really
try
to
identify
students
who
were
in
need
of
some
social,
emotional
learning
and
we've
got
one
cohort
at
each
school.
So
each
of
the
five
elementary
schools
have
a
cohort.
A
A
We
really
tried
to
make
it
interactive
and
what
the
students
want
to
be
there,
and
we
we
tried
to
make
it
as
easy,
as
we
could
for
the
teachers
that
had
that
were
participating
in
supporting
these
sessions.
So
we
gave
them
all
TurnKey
resources
they
did
not
have
to
prepare
anything.
We
built
worked
together
to
build
a
Google
site
and
provided
resources
for
each
session.
I
would
be
remiss
to
not
give
a
shout
out
to
Stacy
klosik
and
Carla
Cal
Brenner.
A
P
P
Our
elementary
facilitator
is
ensuring
that
all
K-2
students
will
have
access
to
the
Hagerty
phonemic
awareness
10-minute
lessons
each
day
in
their
Ela
course,
and
so
this
is
something
that
was
brought
to
us
by
the
dyslexia
pilot
and
something
that
our
teachers
have.
So
we
are
just
working
on
Shoring
this
up
under
her
leadership.
So
we
appreciate
her
help
with
that.
P
P
Fluency
is
a
tool
that
students
in
the
primary
grades
read
into
the
system
and
it
helps
teachers
Identify
some
gaps
in
fluency
or
sounds,
and
then
there
are
progress,
monitoring
tools
that
the
kids
can
walk
a
path,
a
targeted
path
based
on
what
that
assessment
shows
and
those
progress
monitoring
can
be
done
on
a
weekly
basis,
a
bi-weekly
basis,
and
so
it's
targeted
to
each
student.
So
thank
you
to
the
teachers
and
the
administrators
who
are
currently
piloting
that
system
Middle
School.
P
We
are
looking
at
making
a
change
in
to
some
of
our
resources,
so
we
piloted
this
past
year.
So
thank
you
to
the
teachers
for
doing
that.
The
into
Literature
Series
and
a
new
novel
and
high
school
while
Dr
Charles
Youngs,
is
retiring.
He
is
making
sure
that
our
teachers
at
the
high
school
have
the
training
that
they
need
set
up
to
continue
to
offer
our
AP
courses
for
our
students,
and
so
we
are
working
on
getting
some
professional
development
for
those
teachers
to
be
sure
that
we
continue
on
that
rigorous
path.
N
B
B
L
E
E
E
And
number
two:
the
board
of
school
directors
approves
the
administration's
recommendations
provide
the
following
elective
courses,
which
carry
credit
towards
graduation
with
less
than
14
students,
as
of
the
spring
course
selection
count
which
are
deemed
essential
to
instructional
activities.
I
would
like
to
move
items
one
and
two.
B
B
D
D
Okay
under
personnel,
there
are
six
items
number
one
acceptance
of
resignations:
number
two
approval
of
unpaid
leaves
of
absence;
number
three
appointment
of
assistant,
superintendent
for
facilities
and
operations;
number
four
appointment
of
personnel;
number;
five
approval
of
extra
Duty
Responsibility
program
for
next
school
year;
23
24.
and
there's
number
six
approval
of
Summer
program
Staffing.
So
right
now,
I
would
like
to
move
one
through
five.
E
C
D
C
E
B
C
G
P
So
this
program
we're
approving
tonight.
This
is
a
program
for
students
in
k
through
eight
and
this
program
will
focus
on
Ela
and
Mathematics
as
based
on
the
winter
January
map
scores.
That's
our
starting
point,
because
that
is
the
data
point
that
we
have
now
and
we
will
offer
in-person
instruction
small
group
and
we're
going
to
base
that
around
what
we're
calling
a
camp
so
weekly
themes
that
will
be
determined
with
a
group
of
teachers
so
that
it
is
sort
of
interdisciplinary.
P
Q
The
other
summer
programming
is
not
on
the
board
agenda.
We're
still
firming
up
the
hiring,
but
the
other
programming
is
extended
school
year,
which
is
only
offered
to
students
that
qualify
through
special
education
services
and
that
takes
place
in
the
month
of
July.
Those
revisions
should
have
been
made.
If
your
student
did
qualify,
they
should
have
been
already
revised
back
in
February.
So
if
there's
a
question
for
many
students
that
participate
in
extended
school
year,
that
may
or
may
not
know
if
they
qualified,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
G
B
Mr
Mark
Krasinski
he's
in
the
back,
so
he
Mark
has
been
moved
up
to
assistant
superintendent
in
charge
of
all
things
operations.
Things
like
bussing,
the
construction
projects,
facilities,
things
like
that
that
we're
doing
and
second
on
the
list
is
Tyler
Dillinger
I,
think
that
must
be
Tyler
right
there.
So
Tyler
is
the
new
assistant
principal
for
IMS.
That
position
is
being
vacated
by
George
Polaris
who's
retiring
this
year.
B
B
R
Finance
I
can
thank
you
three
items
tonight
under
the
finance
committee
agenda.
I'm
number
one
approval
of
enrollment
in
owner
controlled
insurance
program.
The
board
of
school
directors
approves
the
administration's
recommendation
to
approve
the
enrollment
in
the
owner-controlled
insurance
program
with
CM
region
in
the
amount
of
453
998
for
phase
two
of
the
IMs
renovation
project.
Item
number:
two:
approval
of
student
services:
contract,
the
board
of
school
directors
approves
the
administration's
recommendation
to
ratify
the
student
services,
contract,
Crossroads
speech
and
hearing
Inc
and
then
item
number.
Three
is
just
information.
G
C
Sure
the
owner,
controlled
insurance
program
is
related
to
your
construction
project
at
IMs.
It
allows
us
as
a
district,
to
purchase
coverage
for
the
entire
project.
If
there
are
any
issues
with
the
contractors,
we
can
cover
that
that
coverage
and
then
go
back
to
the
to
the
companies
to
to
get
restitution
if
we
need
to,
but
it
allows
contractors
to
basically
pull
out
that
cost
from
their
services
because
we're
purchasing
it
for
them.
Instead,
this
this
bid
actually
came
in
significantly
lower
than
what
we
were
anticipating.
C
C
C
R
K
R
I
guess
to
further
some
of
the
discussion
from
last
week,
I
had
a
couple
outstanding
questions.
First,
Mr
Christensen
asked
kind
of
about
the
timeliness
of
this
item.
It
does
look
like
HB
180
has
a
good
chance
of
being
voted
on
this
month
or
I
guess
probably
early
May
to
mid-may.
So
there
is
a
reason
to
vote
on
this
now
also
I
think
it
was
Ms.
Turner
asked
about
kind
of
the
funding
mechanism
of
this
item.
It
would
be
voted
on
in
addition
to
the
bill
itself.
R
C
L
For
transparency
sake,
I
would
much
rather
see
a
resolution
to
increase
the
thresholds
of
who
can
qualify
as
opposed
to
just
free
breakfast
and
lunch
for
everyone.
Only
because
I
see
firsthand
every
day
a
school
that
receives
free,
breakfast
and
free
lunches
and
I
see
the
waste,
because
a
lot
of
that
food
gets
thrown
away.
I
also
see
the
food
quality
that
isn't
there
like.
L
B
S
T
And
thank
you.

has
become

coach.
Troy
was
here
for
us
when
the
prior
coach
left
supporting
us
in
Guardians
all
the
way
to
Nationals
where
we
finished
11th
in
the
nation.
We,
including
coach
Troy,
were
recognized
by
mayor
Jack
Allen
for
our
achievement.
T
This
was
all
made
possible
by
coach
Troy
as
she
saved
this
program
running
the
JV,
varsity
and
competitive
squads.
When
the
prior
coach
had
roughly
quit,
she
believed
in
us
where
the
other
coach
said
we
would
fail
in
my
View
Coach
Tori
should
be
commended
for
this.
We
should
be
proud
of
that.
A
recent
graduate
of
this
institution
came
back
and
led
us
to
Greatness.
We
should
award
her
not
take
away
her
chance.
T
The
Bethel

code
of
conduct,
States
every
Bethel

student,
is
expected
to
demonstrate
positive
self-esteem,
responsible,
behavior
commitment
to
the
family
and
Community
attainable
expectations
and
perseverance.
To
achieve
these
expectations
through
honest
Endeavors
to
reach
his
or
her
maximum
potential,
isn't
that
what
coach
Tori
has
done?
Should
she
be
rewarded
for
the
coaching
position
and
for
doing
what
our
code
States
coach
story
came
back,
provided
us
all
with
the
Positive
self-esteem
that
we
needed
when
we
were
at
our
lowest?
She
took
responsibility
for
resurrecting
the
program.
T
When
was
in
total
disarray,
she
made
commitment
to
our
community
and
her
Hawk
family
by
going
above
and
beyond,
to
help
us,
she
guided
us
to
our
greatest
expectations
through
hard
work
and
perseverance
she's
what
she
wants
to
become.
So
why
not
give
her
a
chance,
I'm
sure
the
new
candidate
for
the
cheer
coach
is
a
great
person
and
Coach,
but
she
is
not
a
hawk.
She
does
not
believe
black
and
orange.
T
She
has
never
walked
the
halls
of
these
schools
and
helped
lead
Bethel
to
Greatness
coach
Tori
has
and
is
we
need
to
reward
our
fellow
Hawk
commander
and
thank
her
for
thank
her
and
give
her
this
opportunity.
We
need
to
have
the
Integrity
to
do
what
is
right
and
take
care
of
her.
Only
she's
took
care
of
us
in
our
time
of
need.
T
U
U
It
is
only
right
that
we
step
up
for
her
tonight
being
Captain
I
had
a
lot
of
interaction
with
Coach
Tori,
her
coaching
style
fit
great
with
our
team
and
was
proven
by
our
11th,
placing
at
Nationals
an
incredible
finish
for
our
disrupted
year.
Not
only
is
coach
Tori
at
Bethel
alumni,
but
also
part
of
this
past
of
the
past
Nationals
team
she's
a
positive
coach
coaching
style
and
is
always
willing
to
go
the
extra
mile
if
one
of
us
needs
something
in
our
cheer
life
or
in
our
personal
life.
U
I
love
that
she
has
a
Bethel
Park
connection
and
has
some
has
brought
back
to
the
programs
on
Bethel,
Park
history,
coach,
Tori
and
I
talked
in
detail
this
year
about
building
the
program
for
the
future.
She
has
given
us
stability
that
I
would
like
to
see
stay
and
passed
on
to
the
next
Generation
cheerleaders,
which
includes
my
younger
sister.
Please
consider
coach
Tori
magnotti
for
the
head
coaching
position
and
for
the
competitive
chair
coaching
position.

Furthermore,
I
am
hopeful
that
students
and
parents
that
have
reached
out
to
you
about
an
impact
on
you,
I
hope.
You
see
how
important
continuity
is
to
children
and
when
having
the
right
coach
can
do
for
a
group
of
athletes
and
how
having
a
strong
role
model
in
your
life
can
Empower
you
as
a
child
to
stand
up
for
yourself.

So
if
she
were
to
be
considered
for
the
head
coach
position,
she
would
no
longer
be
my
daughter's
coach,
so
establishly
I
do
want
her
to
be
my
coach,
but
so
I
stand
here
before
you
today,
not
as
a
parent
that
wants
what's
best
for
my
kid
next
year,
but
as
a
parent
who
wants
to
support
our
program,
this
outstanding
coach
and
what
she
has
to
offer.
Last
season,
my
daughter
lost
her
father
during
cheer
season.
V
Obviously,
the
loss
of
a
parent
is
a
hard
situation
for
anyone,
especially
as
a
cheerleader,
but
what
it
didn't
matter
that
Kotori
had
a
decade
of
experience.
Two
years
of
experience
or
whatever
What
mattered,
is
her
actions
and
how
she
supported
my
daughter
in
whatever
she
needed
and,
however,
she
needed.
V
As
parents,
teachers,
administrators
adults
in
general,
we
don't
always
know
what
to
say
or
do
in
these
situations.
What's
important
is
how
Tory
navigated
it
she
went
above
and
beyond
to
be
there
for
my
daughter
to
be
there
for
her
teammates,
who
were
also
impacted
either
by
knowing
our
family
or
just
by
hitting
so
close
to
home.
V

No
we're
heading
into
our
Keystone
season
and
pssa
season.
So
all
the
students
eat
a
good
breakfast,
get
a
good
nights
of
sleep.
Do
your
best
and
I
think
there
are
some
things
going
on
in
your
schools:
little
pep
rallies
and
snacks
and
some
fun
stuff.
So
do
your
best
enjoy
the
nice
Spring
weather
and
we
will
see
you
next
time.
