big welcome to Jessica Winner Vida. this is our acting superintendent and welcome here. [APPLAUSE]
(applause) No. [COUGHING] everyone. I'd like to welcome up a Sergio Cac and his team who
are going to be talking to us tonight about the Aquine Center. You haven't been there. It is a gem in Lansing. and they're going to be talking to you tonight about some of the improvements that we are hoping will happen. show you some of
the great things that are happening there. Please come on up. [BLANK_AUDIO]
Good evening, Board of Education and Miss Superintendent. And then for being the first presentation, we are hoping that we do real good. So, but I'm
pretty confident that we will. So tonight here we have next to me Mr. Benba Winski who is the director of the Eversault Environmental Center
Lena Edson, who's the program manager at the E. The client center for. learning. We're here to introduce what we call the color stable, which is
a capital campaign for the for learning. The purpose of this presentation is to inform the board of what
we're about to do so you're aware. The beautiful project that is going to take place and so the community. will know and when people will ask you questions, you will know exactly
what this is. [BLANK_AUDIO] basically this presentation will have a very brief history of the equine center for learning, then
the growth of the services, the demand, the need, and then what is the campaign looks like. So with
that, I'm going to let Mr. Winsky take over please. [BLANK_AUDIO] Thank you, Sergio. Thank you to the board. Thank you to our superintendent. for the
opportunity to present this evening. a little bit of what we're going to talk about and then I'm going to turn it over to Miss Edson. share some details about the
specific capital campaign. the E-coin Center for Learning, formerly known as the Beekman Therapeutic Riding Center. has been in existence since 1979.
That means it's been serving our community. for 47 years and we utilize equine assisted services. And we'll get into a little bit more detail about what that means in just a minute. Um...
to build confidence, strength, and communication through this really useful. to make bond with horses. And it's important to point out here that this is a facility that's unique. in that it's open to
students of all abilities. for learning is currently a year-round facility. serves like I said residents from Lansing and the surrounding
community. and we have a really diverse herd there. I know there used to be some photos out in the hall. of some of our equine staff members. We have full-size horses, miniature horses. and
donkeys. The types of programming that are offered there include writing lessons therapeutic and non-theraputic writing lessons, equine assisted learning experience. experiences,
theme events, those types of things, and then feel trips and summer camps. as well. Demand for our equine. assisted
programming is growing. Since fiscal year We've seen a 51% increase in demand. and in fiscal year
19. So for those of you who have a a little bit of institutional memory here. You'll remember that for a while, the E-Quine Center was-- managed by a local foundation in fiscal year 2008.
19, the Lansing School District took back over, managing the work there and since that time we've seen a 320 plus percent. increase in
programming taking place there. When we've been doing all of this without indoor classroom or even ADA compliant restrooms. the restrooms that are on site
there are kind of grandfathered in. And, um, yeah. and we're looking to upgrade. [BLANK_AUDIO] several
pictures here of some of our our students participating in activities just want to quickly highlight at the top. couple of students that are completing their therapeutic
writing lessons and then down on the bottoms on both sides there. We have students that are engaged in summer activities and field trips and especially
exciting opportunity for students at the equine centers to paint the horses and so see that happening there in the bottom right. Without I'm going to turn it
over to some details about our camper camping. [BLANK_AUDIO] So currently we've been in the planning phase. Oh sorry.
You're good. Currently we've been in the planning phase. for this facility. And as Ben mentioned, we last some things on the facility that we're really hoping that this
will bring to ECL. First and foremost, accessible design with two new ADA compliant restrooms. programming that's no longer limited to Michigan's weather.
We do have an indoor arena. but it can only be heated to about 40 degrees. And forces grow a really thin. when our coat so if they were to come into an arena that would be comfortable for
human 65 70 they would sweat and going outside would be detrimental to their health. that is heated or have air conditioning, we can do deep reefs safety. reflection in a
climate controlled space but have the horse activities outside. It also gives us a lobby for welcoming people to the facility, workshops, orientations. larger groups and
just a better flow for the program. So this is an aerial-- of our facility. We're located behind the Beakman Center. We're kind of tucked in
there. There's a new wall on the highway so we're a little bit harder to see now, but we have have a few different facilities, so the big points are the blue
star. We have a dark blue star and a light blue star. Those are our outdoor and our indoor arena so that's really where all of our programming takes place. There is a small star underneath
the green star that is our red barn and that is also where we get our is ready so they come into the red barn they get groomed, tacked up and then walked over to the arena. for their programming.
The new facility would be further down on the campus at that yellow star and where that yellow star is is currently where our greenhouse our one restroom
is located. So we had a few renderings done. This is what the front of the facility would look like. The bus could pull right up in front of the facility. The students
could get right off the bus. and then walk into our welcome center right back to the classroom. Again, being climate controlled. the media compliant restrooms, staff offices, welcome center, and then a
meeting space. for everyone. This dives into what the facility lay would look like so number three is that welcome center. That's where students would be able to get off the
bus, walk right into the facility. Number four is our staff number five is some storage, six is mechanical, and the number one is those two awesome ADA restrooms. We're
really excited about along with the This is a rendering of our-- classroom space we wanted to keep the feel of an
equine facility. the barn and the interior. And then the really unique thing of the classroom is that wall on my left, those wood panels and then where the picture is being
taken. would be walls with big large windows. So right next to the classroom is actually our course pasture and then behind it is also horse pasture so while students are learning the classroom. They get to look out
the window and see horses. Also, it gives us other So let's say we're having real feel negative temperatures and we don't want to to be outside we can teach from in the classroom with horse behavior horse
observation and it just gives us a way to go. kind of expand more on what we're doing. Working with the government. with Christina and our operations team, we've projected the cost
to build the sky. $1.5 million. You see our horseshoe there. that kind of represents where we're at. It should be noted the little yellow at the bottom. of
the horseshoe there. We had a generous six figure donation from a as it is enhancing to help us seed this project and get this project started. We've
started for us. We envision the campaign rolling out in four different phases. The camping planning stage. stage at work around the end and our
presentation before you this evening kind of. brings an end to that phase in some ways. So we see ourselves translate. for the next six to seven months into what we call the quiet
phase. sending targeted letters out reaching out to big donors. in the community businesses in the community kind of on the back
end and a more quiet. at the end of our summer early fall. to make this public and open up funding opportunities to people
throughout the community and smaller increments. The kickoff campaign is going to include big events, press release. These are those types of things. We have a website
that's already ready to go and launch. And then we envision all of next academic year basically encompassing the public phase where we hopefully
by the end. of June 2027 can reach our $1.5 million goal. So when we're looking for a doctor, we're going to have to go to the doctor. So when we're looking for a doctor, we're going to have to go to the
doctor. donors. We really want them to understand that when they support us, they're supporting the accessibility of all of it, the impact that we have with the growth that we've shown. so far beyond just for
our facility. People are understanding the benefits of you. the economic and economic and economic services. And what horses can actually do to help people. And then also can. continuing to strengthen the community. We do community
events. We have community partnerships, but one of of the great things about the community as our volunteers. We have roughly 40 volunteers. that help us and so continuing to strengthen that would be a great
aspect as well. to be really intentional for our donors and what we would be able to offer them. access private tours behind the scenes being able to meet the herd and actually see the horses
that students get to work with. Of course, acknowledgement at advanced campaign materials. across our social media and then understanding the impact that they have. continuing with our
intentionality of this is we wanted to have a unique way. to offer recognition to them. Usually when you go places, you might see a donor black sore tree. We wanted to do
something a little different. We wanted to do horses. and the horseshoes are going to be from the front door to the front door. classroom so they're going to lead the students from the door straight
to the classroom And there is a note on there of naming opportunities available. of Jack to your approval. [BLANK_AUDIO]
So we want to thank you for for your time. We're looking forward to improving the facilities for looking forward
to working with the community and with the board and with the staff. to make this happen. I must say that I've seen horses in different parts of the world. My own little kids once had
horses in Argentina. I have never seen a horse painted in many different colors. Like you will see a... these place and the poor horses
or the donkey right? they stayed like that until the rain comes and then they washed up and then they look. normal again, but it's a good therapy for the children. So.
Well, thank you for the presentation to have any questions. Okay, Dr. Osirigas, and trust of William. Thank you very much. And thank you. Thank you for the
vision and the planning. But there's two of them from big months. i el que s'ha de fer. Sí, sí. The students from Beekman do,
both, there are some Lansing school districts, students that still tend to be good. Those students as well as some of the students from the county
for those students that are out of district though. actually worked on a business agreement with the intermediate school district for our Center for Services provided to students outside of
our district. [INAUDIBLE] That's the Williams. Thank you. [ Inaudible
] Yep. Yep. Another person. >> Yeah, so I'm just curious and says a new building. to do sustainability practices. Do we
know if this would meet like lead certification or anything? like that as we're doing a new build, there's that been thought about yeah. We have just only done very
basic renderings at this point. And of course we'd work with our operations team to make sure that, you know, we're meeting whatever requirements and whatever aspirational.
visions we have for what our facilities look like moving forward but we're really just at the very beginning phases. Thank you for your question. You know the question.
questions. Well, thank you very much for your presentation. Thank you. And let's go Cowboys. Oh, no Cowboys, right?

is not here. In it. Anyone else on the output of the committee? Yes. Yeah, we had an initial meeting with Dr. Sarah O'Neill, but
we're so kind of, that was just a get more background on kind of the historical data about the committee so we're still kind of waiting to get a schedule down in all it.
road give more information when she's back. Okay thank you very much for that update. I'll see you all this committee. I'll send it over to Vice President.
President. Yes, the facilities committee met this past Monday February 7th. second. Our other two members is Williams and President Lopez. We're out on board. business. So you're just
going to hear from me today. We got a couple of updates about our going construction work. Sex and auditorium is set to begin in March. willow is progressing on time. We're just kind of
doing some of those finishing touches. that are kind of those inside pieces, right, putting in lockers, et cetera. gluten if you've driven by is now gone.
That project is progressing. I'm time, but if you've noticed a slowdown in the work, that's because the extreme cold temperatures we've been experiencing meant that some of the equipment couldn't like break through the hard frozen
ground. However, the project remains on time and we will be excited to give more updates and maybe a little presentation about Luden as Luden gets closer. After that, we have a
series of bid recommendations which you will see in your panel. for all of these bid recommendations. The lowest bidder was chosen and I think for every single one. It was a company that we've worked with
before. So there were no kind of majors. surprises there. In addition, you'll see in your board packet a request for a change order for Willow
construction on Willow. this is because we need to do a little bit of reconfiguring within this the same footprint, right? So we've got the new willow, the structure is up, the footprint is set.
to a little bit of reconfiguring of classroom space within that building to accommodate the to a middle school model. And so what that means. is that we have a
change order so that we can get that kind of reconfiguration. done so that Willow is using that middle school model that are other schools. are using
when it opens. You will also see in your board packet. You'll also see this contract with source advice. So, we have a lot of advisers, source advisers, or source advisers
engagement. It's a tongue twister. with this company. This is a tax professional company. make sure that we get the several million dollars of tax
rebates that we expect. for the solar installations that we had done in 2025. So given the complicated situation around
green technologies and federal administration. concern about making sure that we are able to get the rebates that we are owed. track is with this task
professional organization to make sure that we can get that money. So that is what you're seeing from facilities committee. with in your board packet.
And I'm happy to take any questions. questions. Any questions for the report? Dr. Rodriguez. Thank you. - You are from the doctoral degrees. - I think you were pressing them. I think I heard you to say them.
will be a presentation of a gluten, before it's StarWorking. in building. I think I asked to see the plan. And I think--
I think-- I think-- you need to have that in front of the board and from the call community. Yes, that's correct. You don't know who I am.
I have deferred a Christina seam. When would you like it? [BLANK_AUDIO] Whichever meeting whichever whichever meeting you like it.
I'm happy to bring it to well I think the board has to approve that. I'm going to be on the school.
and we didn't do that frequently. I believe. the community will be even better served because it's their
money if they can see on TV the one what this district is going. Poder l'any i no és com el distri. I ho heu workit amb Mr. Falsy, i que no hi hagi un any. Superintendents,
Benaveles to set to put together. presentation. And I, and sorry, but I don't understand why it has to be. difficult to do in that kind of thing. I don't think it's
difficult, just carry on the >> Right, okay. >> And to be clear, as you might recall, there was a-- committee of Loot and Families who worked with our design team and our facilities
committee years ago to approve and create the designs for the building. So that was something we did with community input. That was approved at the time. I
think that was in 2024, Christina. [BLANK_AUDIO] I believe that that's a good process. Don't take me wrong. wrong. But the wrong is to
forget that the board of the occasion need to know that too because we are responsible for what is going to be bill down. Sure, my understanding was that those plans were brought to us
at the time. but we are happy to bring them back again. Now that construction is on the asking for. community, no for me.
on that. Okay. Um, you know the question? question. Yes, I have a question. contract with the investment
consultant firm do we hear from any other companies we typically see like the bid sheets or is this one recommended to us? Or how do we come to them? So, Miss Adams, myself and
Greenlink actually met with three in total. bigger tilley energy tax savers and then source advisors with filing for these types of tax credits, these are not common
institutions. common text filing, especially in Michigan. So we actually had to reach outside of the state of Michigan. to find these companies. So we did have meetings with each of these companies with the team. and
then ask several questions of them and if we could feel could support us the best. with Baker Tilley. They wanted to do more of like all encompassing, whole process where we had already
paid our lawyers for part of this. We had already paid and our logic. as our project management for part of this, but they were kind of a whole sale institution they would have been coming in and redoing a lot of
the work we had already done, which then also had a very high price tag with it. So that didn't make sense for the district and then energy tax the way that they calculated their
fees was a little bit more exorbitant. compared to source advisors. So they went on a pure straight of the total of our projects,
opposed to the way that sort of It was quite a bit more. It was over double. energy tax saver so all of them were competent there is no question about that so it's kind
of of the best fit in this situation, and that's where we want with source advisors. Thank you. Any other questions?
here and on can I have a motion Yes sir. [INAUDIBLE] Ich bin auf dem
2nd. to approve the Reckland Emotion, all those in favor say aye. Okay, motion carries.

in the school district. Thank you, Dr. Rodriguez. for big and the promise.
Okay, well then I'll move to the prom zone and I was not at the meeting because this been mentioned before, I was at a talent and school business.
But the solar authority is the same. is the recipient of the text capture for the promise. And our tech sculpture is less,
well, this, less fiscal year. near the two million. dollars. So we're getting closer to that.
And it's going to grow. as the year's go by. And the-- zone authority uses hold. [BLANK_AUDIO]
the money for scholarships. It goes for scholarships. specifically and for student assistance. in terms of readiness.
And readiness can be defined. different ways that I'm going to that. But it's all for student benefit. The foundation of course, does all the other good
work they're doing. also with the students we now have that are in the promise. program at Michigan State LCC.
of that. Help me out just the one right here. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> That one port. That one port. it is an our staff keeps track of them to help them. they need any assistance as they're going through and
there's programs that are prepared. and the students come back and keep that. support system so that they can be successful
in graduating from from forever there and before I go to Dr. Rodriguez, the other thing is that we're also helping students with CTE programs. You know, somebody wants to be a
carpenter. We can cover the cost of tuition. and tools, etc. So the promise is going the long ways. from
when it started. And I know we also have people in cosmotology. and so it also the traits that we're supporting as well. So,
Dr. Zergus, you had something else? talk two other universities. L??
ísterni versiti?an and my present and my present. Thank you. (audience
laughing) Right. Right. Basically the problem. members have remembered them of understanding with a unit of the United States. universities.
Not only will we help you. for students with tuition, but the university also puts money. towards the total
cost of of that universities for the students. So yes, yes. That's been talked about and I think that we'll be moving in that direction. to
expand the choices for Lansing students. Um... I don't know if we'll ever go out of the state, but I think, expanding to I think that was a
survey done and a great number of our students. go to Central. It's kind of a niche university for. and students, but Western Michigan, to Ferris,
to stay here. colors, grim valley, those are all possibilities. So we'll see. and Dr. Rodriguez and I will be reporting on that as we move along.
Okay. Yes, sir. Can you tell me I know you said you don't know whether or not they will ever go out of the state. One thing that I I've been very impressed about what the
Kalamazoo promise is their extension to H. B.C.U.S. can you tell me what the conversation has been for the Lansing Promise to extend the opportunity for students to go to HBCUs,
seeing that there are none. in Michigan. I can almost tell that it's the second. of the director, the discussion.
the Columbus Promise and every other promise in the state is a they'll not find it through text capture. They were funded
through the beneficiaries of of the Pfizer company of all those big... in the struggles, in the industries
that they have in Kalamazoo. So I don't think they're tied to any state mandate. So that may just there's a difference. I can't tell you yes no or
between. But I think that a conversation with certainly without the Well, yeah, it's just one thing that I would just be interested to know. what that looks like, especially
in lansing. Our largest population is African America. and it seems interesting. But we have a little more red tape. sounds like, but I would
love to hear more as you all are having those conversations about what does that look like for students who want the opportunities 100 and 5 historically black colleges of universities in the
country. That's a good question. No answer right now. Okay >> Okay. Thank you very much. We'll move on to personnel committee.
the person all committee will be meeting this coming Monday of you wearing at noon and these meetings are open to the public. I will have a report after that meeting.
Thank you. We're not to policy committee. I know. Dr. Laregas, you're having a-- [INAUDIBLE]

next. [ Inaudible ] [ Inaudible
] I'm like our organization, Charcary. We're sorry. I like the organizational chart that we get. as I've just been learning about
colleagues around the state. that was really nice on the Ann Arbor Board's website. as you can see on the website which
members are part of what can and I know that's a graphic thing that could probably be done really quick. I think it would be wonderful if the community could see this chart that we see.
know what some of our areas of expertise are. sometimes maybe people approach us and because I don't know everything that finance is doing. It makes it look like I'm just
turning them away. I honestly don't know I'm not on finance and sometime things have not gotten to the general board yet, but if members of the community could go on our website. and know that Trustee Herd is on
policy and he's on recognition and he's a resource for you for information and also to make connections. I think that would be great as well as knowing who we've been charged to connect
with in the community. For example, trustee. heard is the liaison to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. WACP and knowing that and being able
to see that easily, I will love to see that. Thank you. That's a, so. a good idea. I'll Mr. Falls, you too. Make that
happen. Thank you sir. And also I want to make make sure that we all get the agenda. for every committee, even if we don't belong to that
committee. Just in case we have something that maybe say hey Dr. Kavanaugh. person else can you check this out for me or I have this question can you bring it up at
the meeting. And this way I think then we can feel more connected to each other. not that we have to go to the meeting, but we can address an issue that's We may have or a
question and whatever you. Um... So now this committee as long as we don't have more than four people we're good. Okay. All right. So now, um,
Go back to White. I'm C. Superintendent's report. Ms. Benavidis. Good evening everyone. This evening. marks my very
first board meeting at the horseshoe tonight and also my fourth day. in serving as an arm superintendent. But she has a quick yet. smiling.
I do want to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to the Board of Education. The trust that you've placed to me and for this opportunity. need to serve a district that I truly love in
a community that I live in is truly I also am very deeply thankful for the many emails, text messages, and personal words of encouragement I received from staff, families
and members of our broader community. Your outreach and support have meant a great deal to me and I felt incredibly welcomed and I think that speaks volumes about who we are as a
district. I do want to keep a little bit of tradition going and I know in the first board meeting of the month, Ben often would give the transportation update. and until the board says
that they don't want that anymore, I'm going to continue with that, especially because because it is a point of pride for our transportation department, especially this week. Our buses requested were
4,025 and our buses were we're 4,10. So I just want to take a pause on that, and I'm going to give a round. on the Plaza for Transportation Department. That
is a 15 person. differential and with new applications coming in all the time that is really to be commended. Our guest request, our guest cards requested were
2,700. and gas cards assigned 2,700 and 2. requested
533 catacards and 520. 221 Catecards assigned. Please to our families out there. Please remember to go to a hospital. your schools. A lot of you have requested cards and they are in the office. If the office them they will certainly contact our transportation
department and we will get those two as soon as possible. I want to share that the Lansing School District is a special place. It is a truly a privilege to serve a community that so clearly cares about its students. and its schools. And
I'm especially grateful to the work to work alongside such a talented executive team, central office staff, administrators, educators and supports staff, the work we do is complex and
demanding and it truly takes all of us. Working together with a shared purpose to ensure success for our students. As we move through February, I would like to highlight Black
History Month. planned meaningful and engaging opportunities to celebrate this important month to honor the and implement an impact of
our black individuals. throughout history. Students across the district will be participating in activities such as culture performances, black history book fairs, drum circles,
from his steamed speakers. Hustle Fridays. That's an Eastern if you'd like to join. in that. In lessons that highlight black history pioneers and civil right activists. I
want to personally think our own Black History Makers, our administrative our educators and our staff. Our your representation The impact you have on our students each
and every day cannot be overstated. >> Through your leadership care and commitment, you shape the identities, aspirations and future of the young people that we serve. So to our staff this
month, this month, especially those that are Black History makers. I'm really proud of all of the work that you do day in. day out for our students. While Black History Month serves
as a dedicated time to reflect and celebrate. It also reminds us that Black History is American history. It's not confined to one month, but is woven into our past our present
in our future and should be honored taught and uplifted every single day. Following our recognition of Black History Month, I'd also like to highlight an important exciting initiative that we have within
our own district. Our own time you brewer senior directors. special education is launching a
black educator and administrator This coalition will create a space for connections. and professional growth for Black educators and administrators across the Lansing School District. It will provide opportunities for collegiality, mentorship, and shared learning and collaboration. while also
fostering a sense of belonging and community. This work is about supporting and uplifting our staff, strengthening relationships and ensuring that our district can to be a place for talented educators and
leaders feel valued and supported. want to thank Miss Brewer and her leadership and vision into bringing this coalition forward. initiatives like this really strengthen our organization from
within and ultimately benefit all those the students and families that we serve. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that February's career in technical education month. And I know Dr. Red Reyes
is proud of you. I'm going to talk to us about this a little bit later. But CTE plays a vital role in preparing preparing your students for life beyond high school and connecting learning to real world skills and meaning
for the most powerful career pathways. It's supported by our Lansing Promise. high school, which is an incredible place if you haven't been open enrollment like we've said starts the end of February and
it would be a wonderful place for your high schoolers to start in great. That really is unheard of. CTE tick across the state typically starts in 11th grade
for most students, but we know that students are very passionate about the things that they want to do in this freshman. Often no exactly the career. that they want to tackle. And if that's something
that you're interested in, high school is an amazing place for our students to start. You get all of your high school hands on in areas like culinary and computer science building
trades. and of course health services. For those that don't go to Lansing Technical, though, you still have have those opportunities at our traditional high schools. And those programs. includes things like
business and risk management, which I'd be remiss by saying that last year this last year alone in the business and risk management class. 96 college credits were earned by students
in those classes. it when they leave that class they have 12 college credits to put right toward their college that's really close to an associate's degree, so that's
something to really be proud of. Emergency medical technician is another area that EMTs that people can be part of Fire Science Academy. We have students leaving the Fire
Science Academy and going right into being firefighters. Graphic and print tech, patient care tech and skilled trades. So those are all areas that are really points of pride for the
district. And I'd like to especially thank Dr. Nicole Millsap, Director of Nicole Millsap. for her incredible work in creating those programs and our team of teachers. and trades people who
make that work every day possible. Their experiences. really what makes that magic happen for our students. I'd also like to recognize this
is a very special month for Hallmark. Apparently we have a lot of things that are of the week of the month, right? But this one is our National School Counselors Week. We have wonderful counselors in Lansing.
They're the people that are making sure that we're lining up. students with courses that match their interest like CTE, but also that are getting them across the stage but then on to
the school beyond which is and into college and really whatever their life desires. So I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our counseling staff across the district
they play in supporting our students. Our counselors help students navigate high school and emotionally while guiding them through course planning,
and important life decisions. We're grateful for all of you at the high schools and the impact you've had on our student success. So again, I'd like to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve you. I look
forward to continuing this important work together and be of our students and the families of a school district that I love, the Lansing School District. Thank you. That concludes my report. Thank you
very much. That was a good report, your first report. [laughter] looking forward to many more.
>> Mr. President, I want to thank the Superintendent. Thank you to the counselors under work in the schools.
We can't forget them. We can't forget anybody. having this way, being there weak, I think that you deserve. a great job and your
responsibility to appreciate our workers. i mga. kese rai. I will say a few more later, but
they're coming to India. African-American math to put that in front of the community, the role of the superintendant and thank you
very much. Thank you. Okay, we'll move on to the agenda to have new business. with to not. Yes sir. [BLANK_AUDIO]
I wanted to also thank the superintendent for her report. and the superintendent has known me a long time.
wondered in weeks to come. Are we in the rest of the community? going to be able to hear from you, perhaps maybe even by video or
something to talk about what your vision we're bringing you. now and while we've had a superintendent before. Now you're the superintendent and one here with
your vision is and a direction for of the district during this interim period and things that you would like to see done. agenda in ways that you'd like to take us higher.
to see that you don't have to answer that today. I think that would be wonderful to hear from you. as really a veteran administrator
in this district. and long time employee. You've been on the ground for long. time. And so you've seen where we've been and I think that you have some vision about where we're going. and I would love to hear
what that is and I think our neighbors would do. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Trust the Williams. >> I also. Thank you for her report even
though she's not talking loud enough and I'm not even but that's okay. But also she, like she said she's only been on day four and while we were in another city yesterday, and
issue came through trustee. heard of my death and we reached out to the superintendent and immediately that with Handel. So she is boots on the ground running you are so know that
she's doing it, she needs our support, it's one day at a time and that's you. Okay, we're going to have four.
comments as well. So maybe we can do more of that at that time. Okay, we're down to public comment on Anna Jenner. and the items and I
have just one. Uh, Todd McCasel. Oh, over there. There's her. Not the hot sea. You got the hot sea. You got the
hot sea. Yeah, I'm an austere player. Let me just solve for the public. You have three minutes and the board does not usually respond
to public comment. Okay. So, go ahead. Understood. night I showed up tonight and for the first time that I can remember. remember I was mood. So I
appreciate that and again thank you. So they have opportunity to be here. I come from the community. representative for the Carpenter's local. We have a distinct privilege of
representing this area. and I say we because I'm not the only one in the office but we recognize the the right talent that comes from the Lansing School District. We do career fairs and job. and
interactions with the students that come from here. And there's great opportunity in the track. I'm a product of the trades. I'm a product of the apprenticeship
very blessed. that career path is strong today as it was in my interest. career recognizing today is an equal opportunity.
forward for the foreseeable future the trades are in demand. It's been a great privilege to interact with the students with the staff and hope. that good
things come. It's telling on the seasons I've been in here. when I get a phone call from a former student that is inquiring about their pension. and status. I was
like, okay, I've been here a while. And it's surreal, but it's rewarding as well, because we know what that meant to the families in and the impact into the community.
We build these buildings. We provide a lot of information. We provide a lot of information. and it's exciting post-secondary
education without death. We have a paid apprenticeship program. We've self-funded six-thousand. $55 million in training centers across the state. We hope that the
benefactor is is an area that we live in that sees the result of our expertise and prosperity that it generates.
some very sophisticated owners in construction. We recognize our responsibility. It's amazing the young talent that's coming up that is well suited for the technology. that
exist in our construction industry. [BLANK_AUDIO] What I would want to articulate also is expenditures and construction sometimes are 25 30 years apart
when we pass a bond vote. decisions that are made that are very impactful. We start students that it's because of a bond vote in the construction
industry that launches their career. So if we could take some consideration to contractors that employed W2 employees. that
come from the area. I know Michigan is the area, but Safe guard yourselves on a contractor that might come in with a low number of but has 1099
subcontractors. That eliminates the access to it. apprenticeship training most often times so their their crews come in with an number this advantage to the
access of that education. Um... And then on the other pitfalls of that practice, just that we've seen it tragically include human trafficking. We don't want
to-- >> It will eliminate the opportunity for the folks locally. >> Thank you, sir. >> Okay. Okay. Um. We got now to a
cabinshone board. I can start all my left. trusty
yes you're the leftist of me go ahead So, so first let me say good evening to everybody and thank you. Thank you for allowing
trustee heard myself. and trust the low pass to represent you all this week in the every seat conference. and several things transpired through my mind. I remember
getting ready to go. I'm ready to graduate from high school and there was a quote that I had on my walk that says, "Edge, you're education plus hard work equals the American dream. That was 30
plus years. Now we have our children just fighting to say I want to go to school, but I'm afraid to go to school. being at this advocacy
conferences we several things came to. to light for us how ice is showing up in different places. So I thank Lansing for our support. already putting their ice declaration
or at playing. of action in place. Thank you all for that already. about making sure that we look at IDEA, which is not going anywhere. but
looking at how we're going to be with a service our families wants their families benefits Medicare and things like that. So I think Senator Slack and say. we need to get our balls
and stripes ready to go. And then thinking of that, I about Black history. In Bishop Bethlehem, two two said, my, he made it. the community is bound
up in yours for we can only be human together. but when I was reading shortly after that this morning, Jimmy Carter said something. that really made me think about what we really are
about the education that of the world. Everything that we are supposed to be and should be. unfortunately is not that way right now. He simply said we be
come not a melting pot, but a beautiful mosaic. Different people. different beliefs, different journeys. And I could not think of a
better place to say when I thought about that and read that. is that that's Lansing, that's who we are. So I celebrate all of you, you're different. our cultures,
our everything because we are all his. not just Black History, we are our history. >> Well, that fits perfectly with
my first comment, which was about the Peacack meeting in January and this was not the traditional type of meeting. It was the Multilingual Families Night, which was held at the newcomer center, so those the
community. The district has the newcomer center. That welcomes families and gives a place for for students coming who need some language support and other social skills. cultural things
to adjust to go into traditional pathways for schools. So it was exciting to see families from around the world there and getting services they needed sign up for parent view and
parent square and bus notifications and meet to teachers and everything like that. But to see that diversity embrace and celebrated and supported was fantastic,
especially in the climate that we're in. Also wanted to share that continued to attend the Lansing 360 meetings on Wednesdays. at noon. These are open to anyone in the community.
This is the collaborative effort to and address gun violence in the community over the last few weeks. been some good news to report the positive annual
trends in the city of a fewer gun violence incidents, fewer deaths, fewer injuries and you are called related to gunshots over the past several years. So we're hoping those trends
continue. you, but there certainly is still work to be done. The year started out with some significant and then the tragic loss of a four-year-old girl to a unsecured firearms. So
I don't trust he heard and others in the district have promoted resources to allow. families to secure your firearm so we really want to emphasize anyone who has a firearm on the channel to make sure that
it is locked and secured. It is the law, but it's just the right thing to do. and we have to reach anyone we know to make sure that we don't have another loss like this in our community.
So I have. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] Thank you. I also wanted to thank you. the
board and the district for allowing us to go to the advocacy. conference. It was my first time ever attending.
that conference and beyond. the classes that gave us more insight on how to advocate.
I keep using the word again and again for our families. with very real concerns. There was one key note speech that really affected
me deeply. And that was by a man. the Ripley who got up and did a keynote speech about her. high conflict and what I wanted to say. and
I'll write more to you all in my report. Um... I left feeling like in this space, not only this Board of Education space. but in our
society as we are trying to stand up for the most vulnerable members of our community and many of those being our children. and finding ways to hear with hearts to understand
and working together. together with people who might not have your same point of view and frankly. who might just flat out not like you.
is the order of the day. And I was grateful to be in a room with all these board members from all over the country. And we don't know each other's politics. you know, you can kind of tell sometimes when they
cheer at certain stuff. Who's who? or the slow-clamp when certain comments are made, you know, where kind of the people are, but the fact is, we
are living in a very polarized world right now and what she brought to light was the purple. and the many spaces where people are
somewhere in the middle and those people in the middle often times get caught in the cracks when it comes to the conversation about how to make the world a better place. of the
ways that we start at least the journey for more understanding. standing more empathy is seeing the humanity in people. embracing
conflict in a more positive way. I felt very good when I left that speech because She kind of acts people. She says, you know, are
there any peace makers and all the peace makers raised there? hand. She said, "Are there any people that are kind of like side-lying people?" and they kind of say yeah, I'd rather I would just stay out of it. And assume she said, are there any
fighters? And I said, oh, that's me. But there's room for all of these types to make all of our boards and all of our community successful and more empathetic
for the benefit of what we're all here. for and that is for the kids. And so I appreciate that I'm going to say more in my report. about how it affected me being
at the conference. There are so many wonderful things happening in our district. I appreciate that the board is giving more platform for people to come and speak about the great things
that we are doing. and the collaborations that we are doing. The last thing that I wanted to say I say my little thing that I say is I want families to mark your
calendars for May 12th. I'm not going to tell you the time. Just mark the day. in pencil. May 12th will be the inaugural African American in
graduation recognition ceremony. This has never been done before. and the superintendent and her team are working with us to make this a huge success to start it under superintendent Ben kind of
got the ball rolling and and superintendent. Jessica has really taken up the torch along with Ryan and Mitch and trusty
Williams what I'm I'd love to see Mr. President is perhaps for this effort to go. to the recognition committee of the board to offer
more support. not only for the African American recognition, but for every cultural recognition that the district offers or sanctions or supports
so that we can have more robust celebration of all of our students that are in the Lancings School District. I am so thrilled for those collaborations and for the culture.
collaboration that is now being cultivated amongst the board and with that I'd like to say if you have been teetor tottering about sending your baby to the Lansing Stool District to be a shining
star and to be a part of this great mosaic. As Trustee Williams said, it's high time. and you come home. Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. Hart, trust you, Hart. Dr. Ores.
Thank you Mr. President. I want to start JSM. following the African American celebration yesterday. I would like to say that the
celebration on or in Rosa Park, tribute on, in the bus in the Katabas and the superintendent was there and the the British Superintendent also was there.
[BLANK_AUDIO] It's not just a tribute to one action, the chidiet. And one moment in the bars is the movement
that she is started on creating. more equality in this nation.
Maybe we gave them her cubius for... one moment that she decides and not to move from her seat. the really who are coming after
this action is what may roll upon a hero and then tremendous, say, and then, tremendous. change of history and I think all together. the
future is going to be the future, the hair and material. i que hi ha un altre que ens hem de fer. Ah... And talking about the career and
technical education mass. We are going to have that in agenda and then there's one. and continue doing this according to the, we have, we have, we have, we
have, we have, we have, Governor with more. nearly 5,000 jobs, open and projected. in
Michigan, a year through 2003 to career. technical education, office, high school and college students. His heart's
own learning experiences that can be apply to real world training on career pathways. then the future maybe is in that
group of the students too. Then that is surely half the night. I think. in the celebrate, whatever celebrates differently
is going to be. to we had to have a vision this all to cooperate and to do. a better together. Thank you Mr. President. Thank you. for those
comments. I will just add that This type of conferences that we attend it not only give you an idea for where we're at in comparison
to others. Let's use basically in the upper. Yes, you're on things that, when we talk about immigration reform, food service we're going
to talk about AI and AI is very important. And I want to have conversations with Superintendent about A. and how we're going to implement
that program here. It's not only about knowing, but it's about having the infrastructure for AI. and how much is going to cost? So that's those are going
to be issues of So we're going to have to deal with and I'm looking at trusting the whiskey. He's in the budget, the finance area, and to cut it. I'm going to look
at those things and how we're going to implement that. structure sense and then how we're going to impart the educational part of of AI
tour students. I'll also heard about Telephones in the classrooms. Help what others are doing but we're doing. and it's an issue all
over the place. I know Michigan is getting ready too. Or at least let you slatures getting ready too. Festival regarding the telephone
development. devices in the classroom, basically to not allow But the other thing is that
with Spokal so heard about one of the big items of this
country. I think this question was IDEA, that is not funded. It has never been funded to-- level that it was intended to and everybody's hurting on that. especially with this new administration that's well, our year old is administration. that is cutting a lot of the
title programs to certain degrees. Snap program which will impact our foot service. And so there's a lot of things
that that we need to be aware of and then how or we got of deal with it locally. And you know that the-- Not the problem for the situation is is
that every district is different and for a In fact, 20 districts doesn't really mean nothing to us, but may mean to another and what impacts us, that's an
impact them. So I think it's-- It's like somebody said, and I'll use the word politics They're always local. So we have to learn how to deal with our
local politics in terms of advocating for stuff that we need. Keras a group for everyone. So I think those are the things.
things that we have to kind of always do a balancing act on. with your support and the information that you can provide is what we need to be. a more
effective advocate. We need to have our story. when it's tell the legislators why we're doing this. And we don't have this how it's
going to impact our students. comes down impact to students. So there'll be more. more, but just to brief comment on
those. >> No. Let's go now to our next item. President, I move that the Board of Education go into closed section under OMA Section 811. to conduct a student
disciplinary. >> It's been moved a second to go into closed session. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hurd. Yes. Meslemia maquisec. Yes.
