Four
is
adoption
of
agenda,
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
for
approval
of
tonight's
agenda,
as
presented
at
the
Cartwright
Elementary
School
District
governing
board
regular
meeting
with
executive
session
for
Thursday
March,
2nd
2023.
E
B
B
G
Good
evening
Madam
president
Dr
Aguilar
Lawler
governing
board
members
executive
team
and
those
in
the
audience
and
on
YouTube.
It
is
with
the
great
pride
that
I
announced
that
the
organization
at
Guam
is
today's
recipient
of
the
carbide.
A
board
of
Excellence
arguan's
mission
is
to
provide
meaningful,
Arts
experiences
that
enhance
the
academic
and
creative
potential
of
Children
and
Families
in
Arizona.
Through
this
organization,
Cartwright
was
granted
transportation
and
tickets
to
the
power
of
expression
at
the
European
theater.
All
of
our
third
graders
and
staff
attended
this
event
about
four
months
ago.
G
G
B
All
right,
the
next
item
that
we
have
is
item
D.
This
is
our
call
to
the
public.
We
do
have
one
this
evening.
Consideration
and
possible
discussion
of
comments
and
complaints
from
the
public.
The
governing
board
will
not
take
any
legal
action
on
matters
raised
during
this
portion
of
the
meeting.
Unless
the
comments
and
complaints
pertain
to
items
included
on
the
agenda,
the
governing
board
president
will
set
applicable
time
limits,
based
on
the
number
of
public
comments
received
up
to
a
three-minute
time
limit
is
set
and
all
are
asked
to
adhere
to
this
limit.
B
I
I
We
know
that
our
employees
are
concerned
about
the
Halton
negotiations
and
were
discouraged
by
the
loss
of
the
working
relationship
with
the
district.
However,
many
of
our
employees
have
joined
aft
and
it's
a
wall-to-wall
union
that
represents
School
Employees
Across.
The
Nation
I'm
here
today
to
ask
the
governing
board
to
please
take
action
and
recognize
a-f-t-a-z
as
a
bargaining
body
in
the
Cartwright
School
District.
I
I
B
B
Our
adopted
roles
of
parliamentary
procedure
provide
for
a
consent
agenda
listing
several
items
for
approval
of
the
board
by
a
single
motion.
Items
listed
under
the
consent
agenda
have
gone
through
a
review
and
recommendation
process.
Documentation
concerning
these
items
has
been
provided
to
all
board
members
and
the
public
in
advance
to
assure
an
extensive
and
thorough
review
items
may
be
removed
from
the
consent
agenda.
At
the
request
of
any
board
member.
B
All
right,
so
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
tonight's
consent
agenda,
as
presented
at
the
Cartwright
Elementary
School
District
governing
board
regular
meeting
with
executive
session
for
Thursday
March,
2nd
2023.
do
I
have
a
second
that
motion.
Thank
you
vice
president
Garcia.
So
we
do
have
a
motion
made
by
myself,
Marissa
Hernandez
and
a
second
by
vice
president
Garcia,
any
discussion
all
right.
We
will
do
our
roll
call
vote
governing
board
member
abathia.
How
do
you
vote.
B
J
J
J
K
Thank
you
governing
board
president
Hernandez
members
of
the
governing
board,
Dr
Aguilar
Lawler
members
of
the
executive
team,
everyone
in
attendance
in
person
and
online.
Thank
you
so
much.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
time
passes
between
when
we
approve
the
AFR
or
we
end
the
fiscal
year,
and
then
we
get
our.
L
There
we
go
good
evening.
Madam
president
members
of
the
board,
Madam
superintendent,
I,
don't
have
the
the
Spiel
memorized
executive
team,
those
in
attendance
online
and
in
person
thanks
for
allowing
me
the
chance
to
be
here
this
evening
with
you
to
present
the
audit
report,
so
I've
been
here
before
and
done
a
very
similar
presentation,
so
I'll
just
kind
of
get
right
into
it.
L
Sorry,
okay,
so
in
in
terms
of
the
audit
summary
heinfeld
meech,
we
are
your
external
Auditors,
just
as
a
reminder.
We're
hired
through
the
competitive
procurement
process
and
the
fiscal
22
audit
was
the
fifth
and
final
year
of
the
last
awarded
contract.
So
that's
where
we
were
with
respect
to
that.
L
You
know
tonight
that
we're
actually
doing
the
the
presentation,
so
we
started
last
April
and
that
started
with
the
engagement
letter,
which
outlines
the
terms
of
our
agreement
and
what
we're
responsible
for
what
management
is
responsible
for,
and
then
we
perform
a
variety
of
procedures
throughout
the
the
time
period
until
we
are
arrived
at
now,
I'm
happy
to
report
that
the
reports
were
all
issued
within
the
required
timelines
for
submission
for
all
of
those
kinds
of
to
meet
to
meet
filing
deadlines.
But
you
can
see
the
actual
timeline
of
kind
of
that.
L
The
the
bulk
of
the
audit
work
happens,
sort
of
over
the
summer
months
and
then
in
the
fall
time
frame.
There
are
four
different
reports
that
are
issued.
I'll
talk
about
each
one,
a
little
bit.
Oh
now
see
now
I'm
just
messed
up
there
we
go.
So
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
communication
to
governance,
there's
also
the
annual
comprehensive
financial
report.
There
is
a
single
audit
reporting
package
and
the
uniform
system
of
financial
compliance
questionnaire.
L
So
all
of
that
information
is
included
in
your
packet
and
has
been
provided
to
you
in
terms
of
the
scope
of
audit
Services.
We
are
hired
to
perform
an
audit
in
accordance
with
generally
accepted
auditing
standards
in
the
United
States.
Also
we're
required
to
perform
the
audit
in
accordance
with
uniform
guidance
standards
which
that
governs
governs
all
of
your
federal
grants,
and
then
we're
also
required
to
complete
that
uniform
system
of
financial
records
compliance
questionnaire,
which
is
the
state
rules
and
regulations
that
you're
required
to
follow.
L
The
board
and
Management's
responsibility
is,
of
course,
to
establish
guidelines
and
procedures
and
internal
controls
to
prevent
those
types
of
things
from
happening
in
terms
of
the
actual
financial
statements
I
want
to
let
you
know
there
was
a
new
accounting
standard
that
was
implemented
during
this
fiscal
22
audit,
and
that
was
with
respect
to
leases
so
long-term
agreements,
both
as
a
lessor
and
as
a
lessee.
So
there
is
an
explanatory
paragraph
in
the
auditor's
opinion
that
just
says
that
there
was
a
new
standard
that
was
implemented,
but
it
doesn't
constitute
a
modification
of
opinion.
L
There
are
several
estimates
that
are
included
in
the
financial
statements,
so
Capital
assets
are
recognized
over
the
life
of
the
asset.
That's
one
of
them
there's
also
some
estimates
for
receivables
that
are
due
from
other
agencies
and
individuals
and
organizations,
and
so,
if
necessary,
allowances
for
any
uncollectible
amounts
would
have
been
estimated
by
management
and
included
in
the
financials
and
then,
of
course,
there's
also
some
estimates
as
they
relate
to
the
state
pension
plan.
L
So
Arizona,
State
Retirement,
makes
a
lot
of
assumptions
and
those
end
up
in
your
financial
statements
as
well,
so
I'm
happy
to
report
that
there
were
no
audit
adjustments
that
I'm
required
to
tell
you
about
tonight.
So
that's
good
news
as
part
of
our
audit.
We
also
do
perform
and
provide
non-audit
services,
and
what
that
is
related
to
is
the
actual
preparation
of
the
financial
statement.
L
So
we
take
your
books
and
Records
and
then
we
gather
additional
information
from
you
and
we
kind
of
translate
them
from
you
know
the
the
AFR
basis
and
and
what
it
looks
like
on
the
AFR
into
this
this
format
and
includes
the
financial
statements
and
the
notes,
and
then
we
also
assist
with
the
preparation
of
the
sifa,
which
is
the
schedule
of
expenditures
of
federal
Awards
and
the
data
collection
form.
So
that's
related
to
that
uniform
guidance
requirement
that
I
was
talking
about
earlier.
L
Lastly,
in
terms
of
the
other
required
Communications,
we
had
no
disagreements
with
management
over
Financial,
Accounting
or
other
reporting
matters,
so
that
is
good
news,
so
we
think
management
for
for
being
agreeable
and
and
doing
a
good
job.
There,
management
also
signs
off
that
they
provided
the
required
representations
that
are
necessary
for
us
to
conclude
the
audit
and
then,
in
terms
of
our
responsibilities,
we
are
responsible
for
making
sure
that
we
follow
our
professional
guidelines
regarding
Independence
and
ethical
requirements,
and
so
heinfeld
meech
has
done
our
part
with
respect
to
that.
L
L
Of
course,
I
think
the
most
important
is
page
22,
which
that's
our
audit
opinion,
which
was
unmodified,
and
so
that's
good
news
and
bless
you
and
the
the
unmodified
opinion
is
what
what's
referred
to
as
a
clean
opinion.
So
that
means
no
material
misstatements
in
the
financial
statements.
So
there's
some
other
page
numbers.
If
you
wanted
to
direct
your
attention
to
a
variety
of
different
things,
but
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
numbers
and
data
in
this
particular
report
and
then
moving
on
to
the
single
audit
reporting
package
I've.
L
Given
you
a
few
page
numbers
page
10
is
sort
of
the
culmination
it's
like
a
recap
of
everything
that
was
done.
It's
called
the
schedule
of
findings
and
question
costs
and
there
were
no
significant
deficiencies
or
material
weaknesses
that
were
reported
with
respect
to
internal
controls.
We
did
have
a
deficiency
that
was
reported
over
the
federal
programs,
and
so
the
federal
programs
that
we
looked
at
this
year
included
What's
called
the
education
stabilization
fund,
which
you
all
refer
to
as
Esser.
L
So
we
were
required
by
the
federal
government
to
audit
that
Federal
program.
We
also
audited
the
Child
Nutrition
program,
which
is
your
you
know:
free
and
reduced
lunch
breakfast
summer,
feeding
programs.
So
we
audited
that
program
and
then
new
this
year
we
audited
the
what's
called
emergency
connectivity
fund
program,
and
that
was
a
new
program
that
came
out
of
sort
of
like
the
the
it's
an
organization
called
USAC,
which
also
provides
e-rate
funding
to
school
districts.
So
that
was
a
new
federal
program.
L
L
The
finding
that
we
had
was
related
to
something
that's
referred
to
in
the
federal
government
is
called
Davis
bacon,
which
essentially
just
means
if
you
are
using
federal
dollars
to
do
any
kind
of
major
construction
or
remodeling
that
type
of
thing
that
you're
required
to
pay
prevailing
wages,
and
it's
not
something
that
school
districts
are
typically
doing
because
school
districts
are
not
typically
involved
in
using
federal
dollars
for
any
type
of
construction
type
projects.
However,
in
this
you
know
world
that
we
live
in
with
the
the
Esser
funding
they're.
L
L
The
last
document
is
called
that
usfr
compliance
questionnaire
that
I
talked
about,
and
so
this
is
this
is
the
state
document
it's
about
30
pages
long
and
it
puts
out
a
whole
lot
of
different
questions.
The
Auditors
have
to
design
tests
to
be
able
to
answer
the
questions
either.
Yes
or
no,
and
essentially,
if
we
answer
no,
then
it
means
you
are
non-compliant
with
that
requirement.
L
L
L
All
of
that
information
for
our
team
to
be
able
to
come
out
and
finish
the
audit
in
a
timely
fashion
and
I'll
just
point
out
that
next
year
we
had
a
new
accounting
standard
this
year
with
the
22
audit,
as
you
look
forward
to
next
year,
there's
another
new
one,
so
some
is
for
our
will
be
very
busy
with
the
implementation
of
that
as
well,
and
so
there
there's
a
lot
to
look
forward
to
with
that.
So
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.

Good
evening
president
Hernandez
governing
board-
oh
excuse
me:
superintendent,
Aguilar,
Lawler,
governing
board
members,
executive
team
and
audience
yes,
our
board
member
did
request
two
presentations
and
one
presentation.
We
will
go
ahead
and
call
it.
Dr
Perez
will
be
an
overview
on
attendance,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
Dr
Perez.
N
N
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
update
you
on
your
current
student
attendance
procedures,
including
our
Cuts
program,
as
well
as
our
school
resource
officers.
Our
sros
regular
attendance
is
crucial
for
Learning
and
academic
achievement
because
it
allows
Scholars
to
fully
engage
in
the
learning
process
and
not
miss
out
on
important
content
and
interactions
with
teachers
and
classmates
when
scholars
attend
classes
regularly,
they're
more
likely
to
stay
on
track
with
the
curriculum,
understand
the
material
better
and
are
able
to
participate
in
discussions
and
activities
that
contribute
to
the
understanding
and
growth.
N
Furthermore,
attending
class
regularly
also
helps
Scholars,
develop
important
study,
habits
and
time
management
skills
that
will
serve
them
well
throughout
their
academic
careers
and
Beyond
them
by
consistently
showing
up
to
class
and
engaging
in
the
learning
process.
Scholars
build
the
discipline
and
work
ethic
needed
to
succeed
in
all
aspects
of
their
lives.
N
I
recently
asked
our
incredible
principals.
What
activities
do
you
and
your
staff
do
to
encourage
positive
attendance?
And
what
do
you
do
to
recognize
these
Scholars
I'm
happy
to
report
that
there
are
many
great
activities
taking
place
at
our
school
sites
to
promote
positive
attendance
and
recognize
these
Scholars,
and
here
are
just
some
examples.
N
N
As
stated
previously,
in
October
governing
board
meeting
update
executive
director
Mr
Raul
Pena,
ensure
we
ensure
training
is
provided
to
attendance,
clerks
and
assistant
principles
that
is
robust
and
informative.
This
year
we
have
seen
an
improvement
in
our
record
keeping
for
attendance
and
tardies
in
comparison
to
previous
years.
N
Once
again,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
a
question
from
our
governing
board.
Vice
president
Ms
Garcia
about
the
role
of
our
school
resource
officers
in
supporting
School
attendance
and
truancy
prevention,
as
reported
previously
by
Mr
Pena
in
his
October
governing
board,
meeting
update
the
school's
safety
grants
we
currently
have
in
place
to
fund
our
school
resource
officers
are
focused
heavily
heavily
in
addressing
school.
Safety
needs
attendance
or
truancy.
Initiatives
were
not
an
area
of
need
identified
in
the
Grant
application,
therefore,
resulting
in
our
current
sros,
not
focusing
in
this
area.
N
Since
truancy,
initiatives
were
not
an
area
identified
as
a
need.
Our
school
resource
officers
do
not
officially
work
in
the
area
of
attendance
and
truancy.
However,
sros
are
permitted
to
engage
five
percent
of
their
time
in
other
duties,
beyond
the
scope
of
their
work
related
to
the
school
safety
Grant.
N
Our
school
administrators
work
with
our
sros
and
some
of
the
sro's
duties
may
vary
depending
on
each
school's
need,
as
I
stated
earlier.
There
is
five
percent
of
the
work
the
SRO
can
work
on
outside
of
the
scope
of
the
grant.
But
again,
currently,
the
main
focus
of
our
school
resource
officers
is
of
school
safety
and
campus
security.
N
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Dr
Aguilar
Lawler
executive
team,
all
those
in
attendance
both
online
and
physically
here.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that
Dr
Perez
one
question
I
do
have
and
I
I
believe
we
had
discussed
it
previously
when
when
this
new
process
begins
and
the
sros
are
able
to
bring
them
back
or
to
provide
intervention,
will
we
also
be
able
to
utilize
wraparound
services
at
that
time?.
N
M
N
We
want
to
be
as
proactive
as
possible,
instead
of
being
reactive,
so
again,
making
sure
that
our
school
sites
have
all
of
the
student
incentives
celebrating
positive
attendance.
Doing
all
of
those
little
things
supports
our
students,
as
well
as
our
families,
to
understand
the
importance
of
attendance
in
their
education,
I.
M
M
O
J
N
Oh
so,
the
process
that
I
have
here
is
a
checklist
that
I
can
provide
everyone.
But
to
answer
your
question,
it's
after
a
number
of
of
absences,
three
letters
have
to
be
sent
out.
The
first
one
I
believe
is
after
three
days,
which
allows
a
family
to
understand
that
their
child
is
on
the
path
to
become
a
habitual
truant.
Second
letter
goes
out
after
a
number
of
days,
I
believe
five
or
six
and
then
another
third
one
goes
out.
Letting
them
know
that
the
cuts
program
will
then
begin
at
that
time.
O
Okay,
so
I
actually
recently
had
a
conversation,
not
with
anybody
within
our
school
district
school
district,
where
their
their
trial
has
used
that
happen.
It
actually
happened
on
campus
that
required
them
to
be
out
of
school
for
a
while,
and
they
were
calling
out
and
I
know
from
experience
with
others
with
other
family
that
have
had
similarities
where,
even
though
they've
called
out-
and
let
us
know
that,
for
severe
medical
reasons
or
family
reasons
that
they
wouldn't
be
in
school,
this,
the
district
was
still
set.
O
N
O
N
Foreign,
yes,
that
is
correct.
Now
again
it
does
apply.
The
attendance
policies
and
and
compulsory
law
does
apply
to
all
students,
even
special
ed
students.
But
again
because
of
specific,
you
know
specific
cases
or
situations
where
the
student
has
a
medical
condition.
The
School
site
will
work
with
parents,
making
sure
that
they
don't
go
through
that
cuts
program
or
we
know
wait
until
they
figure
everything
out
and
according
to
their
IEP
as
well.
P
Madam
president,
if
I
may
in
Mississippi
it
we
do
have
in
our
policy
specifically
addresses,
and
we
have
an
exhibit
form
within
our
board
policies.
If
it
is
a
situation
where
there
are
legitimate
medical
excuses,
it
is
right
there
in
our
attendance
policy
what
the
parent
does
to
to
work
through
that
type
of
situation.
So
it's
separate
from
our
normal
procedure
with
truancy.
B
P
B
I
didn't
do
any
of
the
work
to
get
us
there,
but
I'm
proud
of
everyone
for
all
the
work
that
you've
all
done.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
actually
I
do
have
a
question
when
we're
talking
about
the
sros
and
them
going
out
to
the
schools.
Sorry,
not
the
schools
but
to
homes.
Is
that
something
that
the
community
and
families
would
necessarily
want,
or
do
they
prefer
the
school
and
maybe
the
principal
or
teachers?
You
know
education,
support
professionals
at
the
schools
reach
out
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
assist.
N
Governing
board
executive
team
and
those
in
the
audience
and
on
YouTube
that's
an
excellent
question.
I,
don't
know
I
can't
say
what
the
parents
would
like.
I
haven't
looked
into
that,
but
I
would
definitely
talk
to
our
principals,
our
administrators
and
find
out.
You
know,
maybe
run
a
survey
to
see
if
that's
something
that
our
families
in
the
community
would
like
and
then
get
back
to
you.
B
I
know:
I've
had
one
come
out
to
my
house
before
and
I
didn't
mind,
I
thought
it
was
awesome
because
she
left
a
card
and
was
just
checking
on
my
son,
and
it
was
here
in
Cartwright
based
on
some
activity
that
it
had
I
don't
want
to
tell
everybody
his
business
now
yeah,
but
she
did
come
out
and
she
had
told
us.
You
know:
I'll
come
out
in
the
summer,
make
sure
you're,
okay
and
she
did
leave
a
card,
and
that
was
really
nice
to
know
that
she
really
she
did
follow
through
with
that.
E
D
B
N
H
N
All
right
good
evening,
and
once
again,
president
Hernandez
superintendent,
Dr
Aguilar
Lawler
governing
board
members
executive
team
guest
here
in
the
audience
and
those
watching
on
YouTube
once
again,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
a
question
from
our
governing
board.
Vice
president
Ms
Garcia
regarding
stop
the
believe
campaign,
and
what
does
this
training
entail?
N
N
Again,
this
training
will
help
School
site
staff
on
how
to
properly
stop
the
bleeding
of
individuals
in
cases
of
mass
shootings
or
severe
injuries.
It
also
provides
resources
for
schools
to
purchase,
stop
the
bleed
kits
for
classrooms
and
provides
another
level
of
training
for
staff
members
when
it
comes
to
massive
trauma
incidents.
N
This
is
a
free
90-minute
training
scheduled
presented.
Excuse
me
by
the
stop.
The
bleed
instructors
provide
a
formal
presentation,
followed
by
a
Hands-On
practice
of
applying
direct
pressure.
Packing
a
wound
and
using
a
tourniquet
there
may
be
an
expense
to
the
district
of
extra
trainings
or
resource
handouts
are
provided
to
the
participants
at
this
time.
We're
looking
at
having
our
School
site
administrators
as
well
as
our
nurses
trained
over
the
summer,
but
we
will
also
offer
this
optional
training
to
our
teachers
and
School
site
staff
and
District
staff
on
a
volunteer
basis.
N
M
N
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I
think
that's
something
that
I
would
take,
definitely
take
back
to
our
executive
team
and
ask
if
that's
something
that
we
can
possibly
do.
It
would
require
a
large
number
of
students,
obviously
to
have
that
I.
Don't
know.
If
stop
the
belief
campaign
even
has
the
resources
to
accommodate.
M
About
a
year
ago,
I
spoke
to
some
people
who
are
also
involved
with
stop
the
bleed,
and
one
of
the
facilitators
did
share
that
students
had
also
been
trained.
So
this
once
a
high
school
student
was
working
at
a
fast
food
store
and
there
was
an
accident
and
someone
had
been
injured
and
the
person
that
had
been
injured
had
actually
fallen
in
such
a
way
that
his
bone.
M
Fracture
yes
came
out,
and
so
that
student
after
knowing
what
to
do,
was
able
to
save
that
person's
leg.
He
was,
he
responded
quickly
expeditiously.
It
just
did
what
he
what
he
learned
so
I
think
with
all
of
that
being
said.
Perhaps
that
might
be
something
we
can
do
in
the
future,
because
what
happens
if
there's
a
teacher
or
adults
in
the
school
setting
who
have
an
injury
and
there's
only
students,
I
mean
we
never
know.
Thank
you.
J
This
is
a
very
sensitive
topic
meet
with
the
parent
advisory
Council,
often
and
I
can
tell
you
right
now
that
the
parents
would
not
want
this
for
our
K-8
students
and
I
will
also
share
that
our
principals
can
with
another.
We
have
a
lot
of
teachers
that
this
would
be
very
traumatizing
for
at
this
time,
coming
through
Uvaldi
and
all
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
trying
to
get
us
through
our
drills
to
make
sure
we're
ready
for
it.
J
I
do
think
it's
a
great
idea
for
our
administrators
and
any
teacher
who
wants
to,
and,
of
course,
our
nurses
I
think
it's
wonderful
and
any
staff
that
wants
to,
but
at
this
time,
because
we
are
K-8.
If
we
were
going
to
do
anything,
it
would
have
to
go
through
our
parents
and
right
now,
just
based
on
the
many
conversations
we've
had
about
safety.
J
They
don't
want
their
kids
thinking
about
any
of
this.
They
are
so
they
understand
how
important
it
is,
but
they
want
our
our
teachers
and
our
principals
to
be
prepared.
They
want
their
kids
to
focus
on
happy
things,
learning
and
things
like
that.
They're
just
they're
just
too
much
at
this
time
sensitivity
so
I
just
want
to
share
and
Alma.
You
know
you're
at
my
meeting,
so
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
so.
So
thank
you
for
understanding
that.
So
thank
you.
M
Absolutely
I
I
think
what
what
brought
to
my
mind
is
not
just
that
piece
of
it
which
I
I
clearly
understand
that,
but
also
what
they
do.
Is
they
train
students
and
faculty
what
to
do
in
the
event
that
something
like
that
would
happen,
such
as
an
intrusion
of
a
mass
mass
shooting,
what
to
do?
What
not
to
do,
for
example,
stay
quiet
turn
your
phones
off,
so
that
we
do
not
attract
attention,
so
it
does
go
a
lot
further
than
that.
But
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
O
O
But
if
it's
something
not
just
here's
a
thing,
here's
a
course
for
people
to
take,
but
more
of
if
they
want
to
take
it
more
of
an
option
and
something
where
their
parents
kind
of
sit
in
with
them
to
do
it,
especially
if
it's
something
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
the
summer,
because
I
I
know
I,
don't
have
students
there.
I
don't
have
a
child
in
the
district.
Quite
yet,
but
I
know
some
some
families
within
the
neighborhood
within
my
area.
O
That
would
want
their
kids
to
kind
of
participate
in
something
similar
like
that,
although
I
don't
know
the
full
extent
of
what
they
would
be
teaching
entirely,
but
maybe
if
it's
something
where
we
give
the
information,
so
the
parents
first
and
kind
of
let
them
decide
if
they
want
their
child
to
participate
in
it
or
not.
Maybe
that
might
be
an
option.
B
B
I
just
feel
like
it
would
be
good
if
we
opened
it,
maybe
to
a
specific
target
audience
like
7th
and
8th
graders,
not
all
of
our
Scholars
yeah,
because
you
have
to
have
a
maturity
factor
and
we,
it
is
a
very
sensitive
topic.
Not
everybody
is
ready
to
do
all
of
these
things,
and
while
we
want
to
keep
everyone
safe,
sometimes
it
can
be
really
scary
and
then
we
also
went
through
the
safety
training
just
recently.
B
But
at
that
point
we
should
also
give
them
the
option
to
learn
CPR,
because
we
know
safety
around
water
is
a
real
concern
in
Arizona
and
everybody
forgets
every
year
so
that
you
know
kind
of
Blended
together
in
a
way
like
these
are
our
school
wardens.
You
know,
you
know,
I
know
our
Scholars
love
to
do
things
and
feel
proud
of
themselves,
like
the
ones
that
were
this
evening
from
Desert
Sands.
B
J
Thank
you
so
I
just
wanted
to
our
Madam
president
members
of
the
governing
board
executive
leadership
team,
those
in
the
audience
principals
and
those
in
watching
YouTube.
We
have
many
celebrations
today,
I
we
just
there's
so
many
great
things
happening.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
I
didn't
know
if
you
knew
this,
but
our
Heatherbrae
counselor
Dr
Damon
Gadson
recently
had
a
book
published,
it's
called
the
winning
combination,
unlocking
your
most
authentic
self.
J
He
shared
with
me.
The
purpose
of
the
book
is
to
provide
insight
and
encouragement
to
populations
who
don't
know
how
the
means
to
pay
for
Psychotherapy
or
the
stigma
is
so
heavy
that
it's
creating
denial.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say:
congratulations,
Dr,
Gadson!
So
Craig.
Will
you
please
let
him
know?
Yes,
that's
awesome!
Thank
you.
J
Another
celebration
on
Sunday
March
5th
at
12
p.m.
We
were
going
to
be
celebrating
our
teacher
of
the
year
red
carpet
ESP
of
the
year
and
our
most
valuable
principal
MVP
during
the
Spring
training
staff
appreciation
day
at
American.
Family
feels
I
wanted
to
say
publicly.
Congratulations
to
our
Teacher
of
the
Year
Charlene
Lear,
the
art
teacher
from
Jon
F1.
J
And
they
all
going
to
get
to
throw
the
first
pitch
and
we're
very
excited,
and
we
hope
that
to
see
you
all
there,
we
recently
had
our
kindergarten
registration,
principals,
you
and
your
teachers,
your
campuses
front
office
staff.
You
did
an
amazing
job,
having
your
campus
ready
to
showcase
the
amazing
educational
opportunities
offered
each
year
again.
J
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
educational
services,
team
and
Dr
Cruz
who
welcomed
our
newest,
Scholars
and
I
know
our
PR
team
are
out
there
checking
it
out,
and
although
we've
we're
on
this
decline,
declining
enrollment,
we
actually
had
more
kindergartners
register
at
the
kindergarten
registration
this
time
than
we
did
last
year.
So
that's
a
huge
celebration.
Yes,
today
was
a
really
cool
busy
day,
as
they
all
are,
but
we
have
the
opportunity
to
attend
this
song
song
fest
over
at
Atkinson.
Thank
you.
J
Vice
president
Garcia
for
also
attending
I
know
you
are
very
busy
at
work
and
you
still
took
the
time
to
come
by.
I,
really
appreciate
that
all
of
our
Scholars
and
our
teachers
do
the
music
in
choir
teachers
did
a
great
job.
Conducting
and
preparing
our
Scholars,
it
was
a
lot
of
fun.
Many
of
our
team
was
there
and
Jeff
and
I
were
walking
out
together
and
we
looked
at
each
other
and
if
you
were
there,
you'll
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
We
said
we
had.
J
We
had
this
desire
to
go
to
Disneyland,
so
I
have
to
do
that.
This
week
is
also
read
Across
America
week
it's
been
extremely
fun,
seeing
all
of
you
principals
and
all
your
teachers,
Scholars
and
and
staff
celebrating
this
week.
I
also
wanted
to
share
today
that
NAU
and
the
Phoenix
Rising
FC
had
their
very
first
reading
with
Rising
visit
at
Tomahawk.
They
gave
Scholars
backpacks
full
of
bookmark
stickers
and
a
free
ticket
to
the
upcoming
Rising,
Game
and
I
have
to
tell
you
Diane,
Corley
principal
where's,
Diana.
J
J
He
reached
out
to
me
a
few
days
ago.
He's
been
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time,
but
he
reached
out
to
me
on
Monday
and
because
our
district
is
so
special
to
him
every
year
prior
to
the
pandemic,
he
would
invite
all
the
districts
from
Maricopa
County
that
he
serves
to
a
fifth
grade:
Diamondbacks
Jam,
where
scholars
in
fifth
grade
they
write
their
community
service
and
then
they
get
chosen
and
not
everyone
goes,
but
we
have
1554
fifth
graders
this
year
and
supervisor
Gallardo
said
you
know
what.
A
J
Gonna
I'm
just
gonna,
take
heart
right
this
year
every
one
of
your
1554
Scholars
are
going
to
go
to
the
game.
So
I
want
to
thank
Ryan.
Anderson
and
Ed
services
are
working
on
this,
but
I
know
I
saw
Alex,
Mata
come
in
I
know
this
is
a
huge.
He
was
there.
You
are
Alex

thank
you
in
advance
to
be
able
to
take
1554
students.
I
know
you're,
looking
at
me
going.
J
B
B
Never
got
to
go,
but
I
don't
want
to
take
a
ticket
from
a
scholar
either
they
deserve
to
go
all
right.
So
we
are
on
to
item
H,
which
is
our
other
discussion.
Sorry
other
information
discussion

item.
One
is
one
of
my
favorite
items,
which
is

March
all
right.
So
this
evening,
to
your

it's
pretty
incredible,
very
eye-catching,

The

It
is

analyzed
the

ways.
The
painting
shows
asymmetrical
balance:
Scholars
created
emphasis
by
selecting
an
interesting,
pose,
distorting
the
figure
by
tracing
their
own
hands
and
feet
using
contrasting
colors
and
adding
details
and
a
background.
B
B
Our
art
display
number
two
is
outside
of
the
boardroom,
so
as
you're
walking
in
through
the
double
doors,
you
would
be
seeing
that
on
your
right,
our
art
teacher
is
Charlene
Lear.
The
title
of
the
project
is

were
inspired
by
the
book.
If,

dinosaurs
came
back
Scholars
notice
that
the
illustrator
created
emphasis
by
only
placing
color
on
the
dinosaurs
Scholars,
created
a
3D,
pop-up
landscape
and
dinosaur
and
finished
their
pop-up
Landscapes
by
adding
a
colorful
dinosaur.
This
one
is
also
a
joy
to
look
at
I,
took
a
couple
photos
and
I'll
probably
take
photos
of
the
other
ones
as
well,
since
the
scholars
still
do
not
sell
them
to
us.
Thank
you.
Thank

Q
Good
evening
president
Hernandez
governing
board
members
president
Aguilar
Lawler
rest
of
our
executive
team,
our
members
in
the
audience
and
those
on
YouTube.
It
is
assessment
season
here
in
the
Cartwright
School
District
and
in
our
state.
We
have
lots
of
Assessments
going
on
right
now.
First
and
foremost,
we
are
in
our
azella
reassessment
window
and
that
goes
from
January
30th
to
March
9th.
Q
We
also
are
getting
ready
to
start
azside
when
we
come
back
from
spring
break,
but
that
will
be
tested
in
grades
5th
and
8th
grade,
and
our
testing
window
is
March
22nd
through
the
29th.
The
science
Testing
can
be
completed
in
two
days
and
our
schools
select
their
testing
dates
all
within
our
district
testing
window.
Q
Then
we
move
on
to
the
big
assessment.
Our
aasa,
which
stands
for
Arizona's
academic
standards,
assessment
that'll,
take
place
during
the
entire
month
of
April,
so
that's
April
3rd
through
the
27th
again
sites
will
set
their
testing
schedule
within
the
district
testing
window.
So
reading
and
writing
tests
will
take
place
over
three
days.
Math
tests
take
place
over
two
days
and
then
schools
establish
a
makeup
testing
window
all
during
that
that
testing
that
district
testing
window
and
then
we
have
our
msaa
our
multi-state
alternative
assessment.
Q
Q
So
the
assessment
is
conducted
using
a
secure
browser
and
administered
one-on-one
by
the
special
education
teacher.
The
test
is
untimed
and
students
have,
until
the
end
of
the
testing
window,
to
complete
the
assessment.
We
anticipate
about
93
Scholars,
taking
the
assessment.
We
can
have
no
more
than
one
percent
of
our
Scholars
at
any
one
time.
Taking
the
assessment.
Q
We
also
have
the
alternative,
English
language
proficiency
assessment
going
on
again.
This
is
for
our
special
education
Scholars,
and
these
are
with
the
ones
that
have
the
most
significant
cognitive
disabilities.
Students
are
assessed
in
the
areas
of
Reading,
Writing,
listening
and
speaking,
and
the
assessment
pertains
to
scholars
in
grades
k
through
eight,
the
ALT
elpa
testing
window
opened
February
1st
and
will
close
March
17th.
Q
Q
E
K
We
are
pursuing
the
option
of
not
enrolling
students
in
the
Cartwright
Virtual
Academy,
starting
next
school
year.
That
would
be
school
year
2324
because
of
low
enrollment
and
efficiencies,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
did
not
violate
any
procedures
or
formal
procedures.
State
law
by
not
formally
closing
it,
because
that
requires
two
board
meetings
and
a
hearing.
K
Dr
Cruz
and
her
team
did
confirm
that
that
would
not
negatively
affect
our
letter
grades
because
it
will
not
have
any
students
enrolls,
who
wouldn't
generate
any
type
of
letter
grade,
and
we
also
work
with
Mr
stratman
on
a
legal
notice
or
a
formal
notice
to
the
currently
enrolled
students
via
Written
Letter,
with
the
the
site
has
already
called
the
parents
and
informed
the
families.
What
we
do
need
to
do
that
in
writing,
so
we've
drafted
that
letter
and
that
letter
will
be
going
out
within
the
next
few
days
to
those
families.
B

Thank
you
board,
president
members
of
the
governing
board
executive
team,
those
in
the
audience
and
those
watching
on
YouTube
the
board
president,
representing
the
governing
board
myself.
My
team,
representing
principals
and
all
your
supervisors
we've
had
a
discussion
about
offering
a
hardship
stipend
again
this
year,
using
the
last
year
of
Esther
funds.
You
probably
know
we
have
spent
most
of
it
because
it
was
for
coveted
relief.
M
You
know,
we've
discussed
many
many
times
the
idea
of
being
able
to
compensate
to
show
you
how
valued
you
are
and
talking
about
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
get
through
to
you,
because
you
don't
know
we're
talking
behind
your
backs,
but
in
a
great
way,
and
so
this
gives
us
it's
a
very
humbling
experience,
and
it
gives
us
great
joy
to
be
able
to
do
something
for
you
to
let
you
know
how
important
you
are,
how
incredibly
inspiring
and
amazing
you
are
and
how
greatly
we
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you.
Thank
you.
O
Yes,
madam
speaker
fellow
board
member,
a
Dr,
Lawler
executive
team,
those
in
the
audience
and
on
Zoom
I,
just
I'm
I'm,
just
glad
that
we're
able
to
provide
our
our
Educators
with
with
some
more
support.
So
the
fact
that
we
can
do
this
as
a
district
I
think
is,
is
great
that
we
can
utilize
These
funds.
B
We
don't
know
what
it
will
be
yet,
but
we
look
forward
to
knowing
what
it
will
be
and
that
we
can
give
something
because
you,
as
you
all
know,
we
can't
always
give
what
we
really
wish
that
we
could,
because
we
are
limited,
unfortunately,
by
the
powers
that
be
so.
We
are
excited
to
be
able
to
bring
this
to
you.
B
Thank
you
to
Dr
Aguilar
Lawler
and
the
administrative
team
for
coming
up
with
this
incredible
idea
and
a
way
to
utilize
These
funds
and
to
give
back
to
the
professionals
that
we
entrust
not
only
our
own
Scholars
with,
but
all
of
the
scholars
within
our
community
and
our
district,
and
we
don't
get
to
see
you
as
often
as
we
would
like
to
and
spend
time
building
relationships.
So
what
we
can
do
we
will
do,
which
is
provide
you
a
hardship,
stipend
and
stipends
anytime
that
we
are
able
to.
