Is that right? M on her way. Jessica president and then just present. Okay. So, I'm going to start uh with the public comments with the principles visiting us from the the schools within the town if they could give their report. I guess we'll start. We'll we'll start

we'll start here. Go ahead. Okay. So with u four school days until graduation, 100% of our seniors will be graduating on the morning of May 26. 100% have earned an acceleration point for the school's grading formula with via an ACE dual enrollment or AP exam. Uh 9% of our senior class has already secured their associates degree through Miami Day College. That was cool. Uh we have three going into the military and two graduating with 13 years of perfect attendance. Um the amount of scholarships 13 years of perfect. They were retained one year. That's why it's 15. No, kindergarten. I don't And and if they count preK, probably 14 years. So

that's amazing. Yeah, it is. It's a it's a like having my own kids, I can see how that's like huge.

Um the amount of scholar scholarship dollars continues to grow with students being accepted into schools like MIT, Polytech, FIU, UF, FSU, every day honors. Um 100% of next year seniors have already passed all exams required for graduation and that's exciting. Our enrollment is currently at 1094. We're graduating 216 seniors. Uh we're bringing in approximately 300 freshmen. So our projected enrollment for next year is around 1150. We have a few more exams left on the testing calendar, but we can say with 100% certainty that Miami Lakes Educational Center will continue to be an A school. Um, we have a few teachers, very few teachers that are retiring next year this year and and we're expected to have maybe three or four vacancies next year. Uh, this summer, many of our students will partake in the summer youth internship program. And last but not least, we are in the planning phases of a senior a rising senior uh boot camp with our CAP advisor. Um, and we begin that I think the second week of June. Okay, thank you.

Good afternoon. We're finishing up testing. Uh we had over 4,000 AP tests and 3,800 EOCC, fast pass, and everything. Uh we are currently clearing our seniors for graduation. We're going to have a 99% graduation rate. That 1% was students that transferred to other schools that we can't find. I think one of them is Colombia. We're looking for them. Um we have our captain's assembly tonight where we unveil the banners of all our our captains. We have our honors dinner on May 21st, which is Thursday night. And then graduation will be at M on May 29th. We have currently over 21 million in scholarship money and growing. We have Christopher Profett was a National Merit Scholar will attend Purdue. Gabriel Diaz, first ever MIT acceptance in school history, and he'll be attending there on a full ride as well. Anthony Perez will be at Colombia, the school, not the country.

thank Hi, good afternoon everyone. Miami Lakes Middle um at this time is at 9 at 9:37 um which is about 20 students below what we opened um the summer with um last school year. But we do feel that over the summer and at the beginning of the school year, we should go ahead and pick up those students. Um, we are testing and we should be done by Friday hopefully. Um, then we'll do a few of the makeup tests that we need. Right now, we're cleaning up data, uh, working on the master schedule to make sure that all that data is correct. We're involved in a civics boot camp. Um, we will be doing civics EOCC testing on Wednesday. So, we're doing the boot camp today and tomorrow so that the kids have fresh information um going into the test. On Friday, we do algebra and geometry. We will be doing a geometry boot camp on Thursday um as well so that they can go in fresh. Um our legal studies did extremely well this year in their competitions. They posted first place in the We the People um again which is great. Our band performed at MPA. They did a jazz perform a jazz band performance at um in o in March in Orlando and came with superiors excellent and superiors from there. Um the band as well um you know participated in the town of Miami links uh veterans parade the uh cars for cure. Our dance team also competed and won first place in team palm chess team did phenomenal this um school year. We even went to Spokane, Washington um for national competition and we came home with seventh place out of 38 middle schools that participated there. Uh academically, we are still planning to

have our chemistry, our algebra 2, we were working on trying to get a dual enrollment um course um uh during the regular school year because it's a little difficult for our kids to go to like Miami Dade in the summer. So, we wanted to bring it here so it'd be more um accessible to them. Um we are going to be doing an inter session um for our eighth grade students now during the summer so that they don't have to actually go to summer school. We can do it inhouse and make sure that they're getting um that they need. Um our girls participated today um in regional competition for basketball. Um they lost but they got to uh go to regional. Um and looking towards the ending of school, we'll have awards assembly next week. Um our drama students are going to be performing Foot Loose.

Um we too are going to be having an internship. Two juniors are going to be coming to the school and work um with us on an internship. And our end of the year dance is on Friday the 29th. And that's it. We're done. Good afternoon. Principal Bob scores are looking really really good. Um our percentage of students so far we've tested elementary. We began with middle school this week but we have increased from 5 8 10 12 17% increases in ELA math and science. Um because we're a K8 our testing window is very long as I mentioned. So we will continue with EOCC's and middle school this year but the data is looking really really good with off the charts inclusive. Um we completed our second year we're completing our second year of ste uh being a designated school which has allowed our students to participate in many activities and competitions throughout. Um the students have been recognized with many um awards and and accolades. They brought home a lot of prizes and we've been able to highlight also our elementary which our second year which is less spearheaded over here. Um and they're doing really good. They've gone to competitions. They brought first and second first and second grade prizes home. So they've done really good and with science our robotics teams team they final and they went to nationals and they traveled to Nebraska and they also also came back home with awards. So, they've been doing really well in science. Um, our dance team continues to excel and be recognized at the district and state levels. Our band has performed and been uh recognized at the superintendence honors uh festival. And they've also shown amazing improvement. And now this is the season where we're

doing awards, we're doing recognitions, we're doing assemblies, concerts, recital, banquetss, end of year trips, and of course our annual blastings that the PTSCA um spearheads. We celebrated this year our 20th A, our consecutive 20th A. We're one of only two schools in the school district. I always say that that has been able to maintain that steady A. Um, our board member, Mr. Alonzo Sal with us early in the year and we are striving for our 21st a and the data is democ um we feel very confident that we will close

good afternooner Miami K8 center we are in the middle of our you know closing and of our school operations testing is going well we will be done this Thursday with our ELC's and the rest of our testing um we are seeing some increases as well in our data. So, that's promising, especially in our ELA, which we finalized already. The other ones were still, you know, we tested some students and then we still have some more to go. Um, we're in the middle also of our awards assemblies. We started last week because we do awards assemblies for all of all of our grade levels and we invite all students. So, it's very very intense. Um, so we have awards assemblies every single day. Um, but that's going well. Students are being recognized as they should. Um PTSA is also hosting our end of the year funday activities and you know students are excited about that. We also reward all students that go up um that the ones that stay proficient or or attain proficiency and also the ones that increase their learning gain. So we include those and we provide them with special activities during their funday as well. Um we um we were our their students took the PC the PST again this year and they did you know very very well as well. Um we've utilized some of the funds also for the steam competitions and steam supplies for the lab activities and teachers. So thank you so much for that continued support that you continue to offer. Our electives continue to grow. We were able to offer 24 elective offerings in our middle school year, which is great for our students because it does keep our enrollment um because traditional middle schools obviously are able to uh times offer more electives than we are. So, it does keep us competitive. Um our school participated in many competitions. So, our students did have an opportunity to rank and and participate in the different contests and they did very well. our law academy was able to participate in the four different competitions they had at three of the

neighboring schools um HML Goldman and um Hia Gardens and also at the Miami date and they placed you know um top school we had honorable mentions we had outstanding delegates so we had different um accolades in those areas as well and FBA as well we placed in the leaders district leadership conference this year and students involved other two was in in addition to the digital literacy, we also had a second place um winner there. We also had a student place first in the Miami Day uh fair and exposition piano competition. He did very well there. And we also in our esports, our computer technology, our robotics, we had students place first in esports, the VR coding. We also had a first place two first place winners and also in the Minecraft as well. Our photography also did very well. Um they received first place in special awards and we had first place winners in the home contest this school year as well. And also we had three other state winners in the AI challenge, presidential AI challenge. So that is very very nice um of the recognition. Our enrollment is currently our future enrollment is currently at 10:45. Um we're down about 48 kids, but that's usually the kindergarten students that haven't registered yet. Um so I anticipate that we're going to be more or less at the same that we were at our October FT, which was around 1093. And we are I'm excited about bringing another prek unit this school year. Um the district has, you know, reached out to us um and we were able to find the space to be able to bring another prek unit. It's already packed as well. So we have two full prek units already for next year so that she definitely can help us as well with our enrollment.

Thank you. I am representing um Ramirez HML. Um like everybody else, testing is ongoing. We wrapped up ELA and pretty much um we have met our proficiency goals and learning gains. We're still testing in math. Um we're going to be testing US history and biology this week. Our graduation will be May 26 for the first time at Lone Depot Park. So that will be very interesting for us. Um cool. It's going to be open. We're trying to figure out how to do our practices right now. There's a baseball field in my school if you want to use it.

Not only not only are you is it your first time there, but you're the first one to go. Yes. So there's no question. No. Um so like we had a meeting today where literally

We started with um our ninth grade students. We're now going to be going into the 10th grade. But again, that is our biggest thing next year is the space program. Um volleyball made it to regionals. Um we have um one of our students um Zachary Webb who is going to

get a full scholarship at Barry University for volleyball. Um during the town Miami Lakes Education Advisory Board annual award meeting um of excellence um we won some accolades fine arts Anastasia Riley again athletic Zachary Webb and local activism Lucia Bling and we have two teachers retiring this year Queen Summers and Aidah Nunes who were also recognized at the top.

Thank you so much. So, thank you all for coming today and for giving us updates on how your year went. Um, we wanted to definitely thank you for having more nominees this year for the end of the year awards of excellence. We had a lot of nominees um from from almost all the schools. Um, so that was wonderful and congratulations to Miami Lakes Middle School for the spelling be your school won the spelling. So, congrats on that. Um, is there anything we can help you all with that you think maybe you would like some support from the town and then specific area or anything that we can help? Don't be afraid. For something, but I mean I don't know.

I can let Rodriguez Diaz with the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. First and foremost, shame you. It's great to be part of this conversation and hear about the successes of the students. And we know that behind every student there is a teacher and teachers who are holding themselves accountable as well as the commitment from the town itself. So we appreciate your support. With that in mind, our school board just passed a resolution at last month's school board meeting for the referendum renewal. This is going to go out to the voters and this is a renewal. It went out in 2018 in 2022. It is expected to go in front of the board of county commissioners tomorrow.

It will be sponsored by Commissioner Renee Garcia, but this referendum renewal helps with instructional personnel, teacher compensation, as well as school safety and security. So again, this will go out to the voters for November 3rd, but we are spreading the word. Eventually, our our schoolboard members will have town hall meetings just to inform the community about what this referendum does. It's not an increase. It does include charter schools, public charter schools as well. Um, so we want

So, so it does include public charter schools, but it is um it's a renewal. It's not an increase. It is to continue to improve compensation for teachers, instructional personnel, and to cons continue to secure all of our schools uh safety, school resource officers, everybody benefits. And if all kids win, you know, education is priority of for all of us. So, ensuring their their high quality education and their safety is the utmost priority for us. So, we wanted to share that with them.

Thank you. So, I want that too. Well, I know that your time is very valuable. So again, we appreciate you coming by. And with that, I hope you have a wonderful end of the school year and we'll see you at the beginning of the school year in August. Thank you so much. Thank you for your time. lunch.

Hello Let me move over. Oh yeah. Oh um let's go ahead and for the record note that my and Jessica are and and I'm gonna uh we're still on public comment so perfect timing. So I wanted to invite Mario Per in. He was going into our meeting. is going to talk a little bit about his idea that he had emailed me about for an end of the year. Um what what you

uh Mario Panera 8825 Northwest on the fifth floor. Um so I reached out to Anna about uh just promoting something to promote our schools and basically the uh uh high schools and the middle schools. So, uh, the idea came from, I'm sure, I'm not sure if everybody's seen the movie Old School, right? Where they have to stay in the frat, they have to compete in three different things.

So, scalgic sport and some kind of talent, some kind of show. So, the idea was like that we could put together the three um high schools would be HML, um, Bob Barbara Goldman, and the Miami League's uh, educational set. And then we could do it for the middle schools as well, the K through eights, right? The idea is we get a sponsor, we showcase the schools. There's a lot of ways we could show them, not just wise, uh, theater, um, some kind of talent show, you might say. And then we have like a civic bowl or educational bowl or something like that or a, uh, what was it? A debate, you know. So, we have those three avenues. Not sure what you guys think. I mean, I'm sure the town will will could find sponsors for it. There's plenty of, you know, businesses that would love to sponsor. We could give a trophy. We could have an annual kind of thing. It showcases a school and not in just one area is what I'm trying to get at. So,

that's my question. Where would we do it? Every year we change locations or depends on what it is. So, we could if it's a sport, we only have a couple venues that we could use. So we do volleyball, basketball, we can only use, you know, the educational center, HML or or Goldman, you know, we don't only have to do basketball. We could do basketball, volleyball, we could do co-ed. So is it like um one sport per day or we have to set it up one day like kind of

we could do a weekday or a weekend? It all depends how we could set it up because again it's not you I'm think do it in one day. intram mural has like different sports going on at the same time like an event that you can have like a you could have some people here some people there and then each one is doing like a different like maybe like a volleyball um indoor basketball they kind of have the teams going on and then people are there if let's say we hold it at at Goldman you could have you have the auditorium so you could do the theater, you have the uh gymnasium, and then you have the cafeteria. You could do all three

or you you have the debate where you have the the courtroom in. So, you have all those. You could also do it at HML or like maybe do like a a schedule like visit this place. So, you can see the different programs, different programs maybe. I mean, we could host it. We could host one thing at one school, one thing at another. So maybe one could be sports, the other one could be like theater, debate, law, just to keep it even between the three schools. And then we could do it through the K through eight as well because there's there's three now. So So it' be something ongoing maybe for like a month or a month is too much every weekend. I think it was the other week would be

we could do the week where you get the preliminary you know teams and then the final weekend is where you say hey these are the winners or come visit the schools or something so not so the preliminary rounds wouldn't be open to the public do you have a sponsorship if we if the idea a structure like an outline I can get you the structure just my point to you guys was to see if it's something that you guys would want to do I I like the idea of it because I like anything that's going to highlight public schools and bring attention to the schools and get people to come and visit the schools and hopefully bring their kids there. So, I love

HML needs help. There's a lot of schools that need help that are under under populated and I think understood populated. I think this would help and then it also helps us because we could we can maybe start for like food or something that we we sell and then those funds come straight to our house and we we can make money that way for more of our programs and initiatives. So, I think it's a win-win for everybody. It'll be a lot of work and it's something we have to plan. And if you're talking about doing one at each school in a different weekend, you know, a minimum you're looking at six weekends in the year. I know that all three schools have the uh the uh um courtroom law study, right? I know they all

and they all compete on. So there we could do that as one something like that in January anyway. We're doing I'm in the worst planning that but that's going to happen. So I could the three high schools will be there so I can I'm already that's done. So maybe the sports one I think would be the next one. The next one. So I doubt what one sport that they all have. I mean I know that Miami education doesn't have sports. I have to say like above Graham we do a something for robotics that all these schools come and then people can see the robotics tournament that we have and that that's a place where a lot of people come. It's not only with the with the schools from the town though other schools too. Yeah.

Yeah. But like the schools from the town usually participate. Well because my education center has no sports. No, that was one of No, that was one of their deals for them to be a high school for them not to be competing in sports. But I don't Yeah, they don't have Okay, so let's They have a gymnasium, so I don't know what they do the gymnasium or I would have to find out. Maybe they have a club. If they have a club or something. So our our feeder pattern school is HML. If you don't sign up for your magnet school, you're going to

Okay. So, if we don't do a sport and we only have one trial, which is one thing, what was another thing you could do? You could do college. But why can't they do that like a field day kind of feel where it's not your sports? We could bring that back. Threelegged race. Yeah. Get to school athletic competition, but not like the feel. I like the field. It's not like you have different. It's like everybody, you know, yeah, you could compete in, you know, exactly. Three-legged race, the sack potato race. Yeah. Back in the day. Back in the day. Take the trainers in high school don't get to do anymore. Exactly. They don't do that anymore. So, I think a field day would be great for that.

Do you want to do anything else academic or just do a field day and then the academic one? There is a lot of we could do the civic bowl but virtual popo. Don't they already have? They already have one. Do the law do the field day. Maybe you could do a theater arts and the thing I know all three schools have the law the law. So that would be good. Well that's already being done. or maybe we do like a debate team and then we involve you know

now at the middle school level there's nothing for those three for those programs at the the K through the Bob Graham the K through8 and Miami middle they don't there's nothing that I know of where they're competing against each other musical performance arts I think that's more you have to come up with a you could come up with a theater an act you got to come come up of an act. My thing is that for music, dance and drama, all three can be involved in that.

I think for our first year, having a field day, I think having a field day and then like a drama day would might be better for the first year. Or if we if we don't want to bite too much off, let's just do the field day for the first year. We could do the field day for high schools and field day for middle schools and see how that goes. And we do it when the weather's nice. We have to be in the winter time. Yes. So I think let's start with the field and then we can add other stuff later on because it's a lot to take on from and then we do where your your school wins you know if you trophy correct yeah not a single sport not a single sport you know you come to us for the spelling be it was like years ago it was like forever ago right

he's got great ideas okay great ideas so for the field day what month are you guys thinking of let's think of January too crazy. Yeah, we're too crazy. January, February, January, February is good. Super Bowl and you can like end the January, early February. We already have these. We have the spelling be at the end of January. Remember that. We do have the spelling at the end, but that's not a big thing. Like that's not that weekend before the the the the conference finals and there's like no sports and people are bored. Bam. What week is that? What week is that? What week is that? Right after the Super Bowl here in the very beginning. Okay. So, let's right before end of January and beginning of of February. Let's let's go and we'll pick a day closer to so we get to focus on do

Yeah, that's perfect. And that'll be on a Saturday is what we're thinking, right? On a Saturday so it doesn't interfere at all with any school activities or whatever. Um and then we have to tell the schools to create teams to be ready. So we have to let give them notice of this. Um we need a sponsor. We need a sponsor. Sponsor. Yeah. Okay. Can you help us with I'll help you with a sponsor. I need a sponsor. Okay. Or sponsors. just create me um like a brand new I'm going to create like a no a proposal like a package like top title sponsor and then you know maybe a silver and a bronze they have options we have we don't have that we don't have that for any I think we do but I'm not sure what the price levels are

for words of so we just have to tweak it for for this so we'll be tweaking it for for three levels of sponsorship and then we need to like have a list of the actual now here's the problem that we're going to encounter From what I know, maybe you guys could help with teachers watch facility. If we do this on a Saturday, right, we're going to have to get a facilities request, right? If we do it at school. Yeah. If we do it at school. At school. We can do it at one of our parks. Well, the thing the whole thing the whole purpose behind this was to get people into the schools. Go to go visit the schools. We have to pick it the most HL right now.

It's not Barbara M. It would be HML. HML would be the school that needs it the most, I think. Mhm. So, it would have to be on their campus. They have a track. They have a big track. They have a big track where you could do stuff. Oh, we need a field. They have a field. Yeah. The exact date would be the 7th of February. Just sign. Oh, okay. That's a That's a That's a No, my bad. That's a Sunday. So, it would be the sixth. The 6th of February. Now, everybody's okay with BH Health having Yeah, because they're the school that it's your school. Yeah, it's the school that needs the most, you know, help. They're the ones that are hurting the most. So, doing it there would be nice. Remember, the charter schools are going to be there next that year.

What's the um in that time? Are we are are we looking are you guys doing the uh looking for kids for for next year around that time then we can invite the K through eights to come out and you know go and visit the schools. Yes. So, the m Okay. So the applications what are they still open programs uh closed in uh actually January the application January early January um too late but in January Jan I think it was January 12th that's another thought just just in case opens in October it closes in January everybody's trying to proof so it's not about

so we would have to move it up Then between November and December, but you don't have to move it all up. You can move one or two events up. No, we're only doing one. We're only one one day. We're only doing beginning of Thanksgiving and then Christmas. It has to It would have to be early November, like right at the beginning of November. But here's the thing. A school like HML typically the question is a good one, but for a school like HML, it typically doesn't matter. Why? because if they have infin seats that that application doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? No, but they're not magnet. They're not magnet.

They have a magnet program, right? So the kids, right? But they're not a whole magnet. So it's not like you can't go to HML. You can still do a parent choice transfer. They're probably under um under enroll. No, they are under enroll. So you can still do it in February and parents could still register. It's not like that. Right. They're not just Right. Right. Right. Right. They we just need to have people look and see what they have, right? What you know, the campus, the school, and would the school be willing to do like tours while this is going on? And we'd have to have um the school board office go as well so that they

you have to you have to be careful how you do this as well because I know that the high school principles, right? If we host something on HML and then you're going to do that recruiting thing, they're not going to be right. So, we have to worry differently in saying that gonna be a competition to showcase your school. Yes. In a sense. Correct. You know, because I know how they are with each other, they don't even want to step on each other's territories because if we do it outside of a school, we do it at one of our parks, one of our parks, which we have beautiful parks in the town, they could bring all the more neutral and it would be neutral territory. But I think

that might be something. It is more feasible. Park is huge. rentals. You we have to make sure there's no like Saturday. They just don't have no tracks or veterans tracks. There's no tracks. It's not a leg. It's not a like a Oh, like a parts have none of the parks have. Yeah. I mean, the only thing we won't have is like a relay. We could have a relay race. two hours into the room. Hi, baby.

Delicious. Deliciousness. I need to see. Hello. I need to see I need to see the baby. Oh, wait. Oh my god.

Ready? Wow, how time flies. They grow into lawyer.

Nobody's here. I saw that backpart if it's at a park neutral territory that they can bring stuff and showcase, you know, but like I said, we're not we're not going to be doing like track and field events. So no, you can do it and as long as you have a grassy area on the on the you could do it at veterans park. It has enough to do like a relay on the

it could be the park is smaller. I think I think the grass area is smaller and I think that like the whole area feels a little bit more congested. I feel like Royal Oaks Park is a little open and like the parking situation would be horrendous even for the mom. It was very It seems like very crowded. Yeah, it's a lot going more towards a rental more airy, more space. Okay. So, you're going to help out with the sponsor. We're going to create a list of events and what we want the schools to do. Um and the schools can come bring their tables. We first got to get approved. Well, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. We need something.

We have to put something together to create a proof. And then we can sell we can be the ones selling all of the the refreshments or stuff or whatever and those funds will go to to to our programs cuz we don't want to charge tickets for this. No we'll just sell it. If you sell you soda cans, whatever. Yeah. So soda like a concession stand. Concession stand. We'll have a concession stand. So, those of you that came in late in the meeting, which note down that did arrive, Mario came to us with the idea of having like a field day kind of a thing, a competition between the schools. So, we're going to do this uh in we're thinking what day did you say? February 6th.

February 6th. That's Saturday. It's between February 6th. So, after the Super Bowl when there's like some time available so the idea is to showcase the schools. You ever seen ultra? No, she's watching the movie. Okay. The idea is they have to compete into three different categories. Uh a sport, a knowledge bowl, and some kind of theater or um act or anything. So, the idea is we kind of compete with the three high schools and the three K2A just to showcase them just so everybody shows their different talents and years and things like that. So, the idea is to start with something small and be like a field day kind of thing.

That's where we're at. Oh, and then Roberto also centered the community center on the inside. We could have the tables of the display so they can walk around a showcase on the inside. So we need a lot. We need both areas. We have to request that. And there is a concession stand there. There is a concession inside the little building. I think you can. So that'll be perfect. This is going to be a big big event. This will be a very big. And the question is, do we have the high schools at one time and the middle schools or is all going on? You have them both, right? You they're going to have more people show up. Yeah. So, and then the the middle school looks at the high school. Correct. Okay. So, we have to do them both at the same time. Okay.

Every needs to display all these ports and then somebody in charge of each of each field activity like assign someone to that field activity. Yes. Like kind of like a somebody to manage that. Yeah. We do. We know if we want to do something inside. Don't we know if everybody has a chest? does chess. A student had asked me about that a couple weeks ago about I remember the mayor had a chess uh competition tournament and he was asking hey they're going to ever bring that back. I don't maybe we could do that as well because a lot of them and a lot of them were talking about their chess program. So I wouldn't mind bringing that back but then

that gives you two different kind of students you know. Yeah. out the art and drama too. That's so that's why I think we stick to field day. Just field day for day this year for and then we can expand. But the but the chest thing wasn't that led by the mayor not sure but does the current mayor want to do that? That's something that I have not sure with our help or something like it doesn't matter with the weather if we just wouldn't be big for us to do. It wouldn't be bad for us to do. We can also sell stuff like the chesting in here but the chesting they cuz chesting is all ages as well. Yeah, it's all ages and all all groups and I I I don't I don't see why we couldn't do both. If we don't want if we don't want to bite off too much, let's just do the field day for this year,

but one at a time. But we could do the chest thing. I don't see why not. But that's something that has to come from him. I think he doesn't want us to go or you guys take both of the chest. We could raise money with that cuz we do the spelling be already. The spelling be is a great program and I think the chess would be another a great like another great thing I think that we could do. It's academic and here I kind of like I don't know you ladies tell me but I think if it's too much let's just focus on the field this year. I think we do field it's a lot at the same time we're also starting the work during this time too little by little baby steps. So let's look on the and the banners for this year. Somebody else will take that off. Survive the

Yeah, let's survive. So let's do field day. like the building. Um, so we can plan this and and we're going to go through our agenda today, but I know we're not going to get everything done today and and I would like to actually definitely be here for that. So maybe at our next meeting, we're in May now or one of our next meetings we can start to already but we need to put something together. Huh? But we're not talking. We're going to talk about them. Yes. But okay. But so you'll get us a sponsor. We'll put together and we have to send it to you so that you can send it to intergovernmental to get permission. We got to see how we try to see. Oh yeah.

We have to wait. We have a meeting. That's what kills if your if your if your if your room get something to go before council but now council I special call for the budget it's not the usual meeting why do I have to have council You're doing everything and then you're not fairly the school is not for you. It's not fair. I would, you know, I get it. Everybody's got

for example, is the advanced academics money. They can't touch that because that's not there to touch. Okay, ladies, just logistics for a minute. We're we're scheduled um Isabella was just reminding me we're scheduled to go no no no the we're scheduled to no for to go before council in August is our report to council because we have to get permission from the council to do this then once the council approves then we would have to go through intergovernmental make sure the schools right they have to they have to also um and then so so it's a lot of baby steps that we have to do there so we we would have time now in the summer to or whenever our next meeting is plan is a little bit more before we would present it to council

and then and then ask for intergovernmental and then it's just a matter of then making sure we can get the date to have the park all to ourselves because we require the the building the community center and that day both that's an entire day on a Saturday so that would take a lot to make sure we get that my question to you is if that was to happen in September if everything everybody says both sides say okay how hard would it be to get that park in February closed for that day. I think there's enough time where it shouldn't be an issue, but parts we need to know like as soon as possible. There's a lot of clubs that have games and there's football leagues and stuff like that like the flag.

Is there any way to kind of get like an idea? I shall break everything. They can kind of maybe reserve it once we get everything approved. Is there a way to get that going or Well, we would work with them to reserve it, but once it's confirmed, we can get it confirmed. But um No, but I want to tell them that date and then it ends the thing. Right. Could you at least find out for them when uh the flag football ends? Yeah, because we we don't want No, they're not in season and soccer as well. If we can get like a Don't they have like a calendar of events and stuff that

I know there's a period where the the fields are empty and they have to do uh like maintenance on them. Maybe we could have a week of We're not going to use the whole field. I'm not I'm not sure we're going to use every single field. We're going to do if we're going to do high school in middle school, then Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I think we're going to use a whole. So, you got to talk to Jeremy. But we can get a schedule at least that week when we can plan. If we have a schedule, we know, okay, these are the weeks when this is happening, then we can plan around. But I like it. I think it'll be a win-win for everybody. I think it'll be good for the town. I think it'll be good for the schools. It'll be good for us. It's good. It's a win-win. Thank you, Mom. You're welcome. Okay. So, you just got to guess the sponsor. I'll get the trophy. I'll put the big trophy, but we'll get a big sponsor so we can do the everything

just let me know that what levels you need and then we'll work on that. Okay. All right, guys. You can ask ladies, right? You can ask the coaches. No, I have to I just don't want to date because we have to we're missing. Yeah, this is what we've been doing. But you know what? going to combine because they clean that decide that we should raise money for programs that might come up with the money that we needed to come out with something we can donate for more programs for us. We could even do special needs section special needs committee. Yeah, like the Oh, you mean special needs to help us? Oh, see they want to be we could be inclusive and you know

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not discriminating. Anybody can join. Yeah. Okay. We'll talk about that. Okay. So with that I want to close public comments. Uh let's have the approval of the minutes from the last somebody ready to accept them.

I put some Mother's Day in the new business because I typed this up extra early just to make sure. So that's why it's there, but that turned out where it is.

I motion to approve the minutes of April 20th second. Second, nine and seconds. All in favor? I again have been approved. Okay. Um the student member report. Um yeah, just the same thing that uh just for the ladies that can come to the mother's day event that I was never able to actually get number from the like student government sponsors or anything. I did have two people kind of like redirecting me towards who was like running that in perfect. Please let me know exactly who it is so that I can contact specifically. And then whoever that person was, they just nothing. Nobody gave me a single number of books donated.

No, we didn't. We didn't get any. I mean, other than my school. I'm okay. Oh, there was some people. That's it. So, Barb, I'm okay. Out of like what? Like one, two, three, four, five, like five, six. Wow. Are you meeting with them again? When's your end of the year meeting? Wednesday. Okay. So this Wednesday you're going to meet with them and see if you can get some information on what happened and what's going on. So what's the what the cons? Their schools didn't donate. Yeah, that's a little disappointing.

I had uh I think it was Emily CS told me that they didn't receive or at least the lady specifically that she didn't know it was happening. So maybe either I think it was just specifically she wasn't aware. Probably the school was aware. Maybe they just thought it was like optional or they just didn't. Maybe next year we say like new books, brand new books because we had to throw away some old. So new books and then maybe just like every week send a reminder once potential already push it like we did for the awards and just be nag every week just send it and you might have to you might have to visit the schools and and talk to the schools and and be like hey or whoever the contact is the sponsor not the students. Are you senior?

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We have to keep like vote again next year if anybody supposed to be this meeting. I think so. I don't think Yeah. I don't know. It was my guest. I think I just honest for No, we never opened it. Like we were the the timeline put out there. It was never put out there. We didn't like we just slipped our minds for the first time. Let us know.

I know that we open it. If anybody put their applications down. Yeah, we're gonna I need to I'm gonna um motion to add them a couple of um so ladies, I'm going to a motion to add under 8D. I guess we need we need to discuss the next meeting and the meeting date and then discuss um what are we moving when are we going to setting 8 right now? Oh, so you guys, I have to reopen the reorder of business. I need to reopen the order of business. Okay, motion first. So, a motion to reorder the uh

reopen reopen the order order of business. Do we have a second? Second. Yeah. All in favor? I. Okay. So, it passes. Okay. So, I'm going to add 8D. I'm going to put that we have to to discuss the next meeting date and discuss when we're going to have the the student member elections because DN yeah I guess so would be student next meeting date and then student student for election day election okay

and then I don't know if we also have to set a date for the principles meeting in August as well because they meet in We wouldn't move in August or September. We think September. I think it's September. I was making sure. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Going back to 78. Okay. Let's go back to 78. Okay. Update on graduation banners. How many did we finally sell you seven? 60. So, we sold 60. And what's the projected revenue? Uh, it was the original MAC that was done. It was that same invoice. Let me pull that up. So we sold it at 185, right? It was 18. It ended up being 183. That's how much it cost.

Yeah. No, the profit. The profit was the 183. We made 18. 183 cuz you wanted to make it was the 185 that you charged. Let me pull up the invoice. Huh? So how much was each banner made? Was it 183 and change? That's okay. So $1.99 plus some change for the person paying minus the the fees that the um Okay, how much and how much they pay? Yeah. And the difference is ups. Yeah. So, those two I'm sorry, what was um 7? We haven't got seven.

No, I'm saying like writing down. No, I 8 the next meeting date and then 80 is the student limit. So the invoice the balance was $9,148.50 for the installation the removal and the printing of the banners. 183 and.76 cents per banner is what they paid. No, they paid the 189. That's what

Mhm. the um the there was additional fees. You're still making a profit, just a little less. It's like a dollar. How much should I make? Yeah, it's the one N. Sorry, I'm just Okay, so 91 was the invoice and how much was the total that was we sold 60 at how many 18950 you said was each soldus? So last 11,370 minus what? No, that's the fees. It's

like subtractions. Okay. So 183 per per is what we're got. Okay. So 183 equals 10 980 minus 9148 914 9148 91415. So the profit should be 8,800 18002 cuz this is financing. This isn't I don't have this number on me. If we sold them at 183 and we sold 60 that means the total was 108 and then we subtract whatever we paid for it which said was 9100 more or less

9148 right? Okay. So yeah about 1,800. I think that's the number you told me, but I can confirm this for you all. Um, and I don't know when it will go in because it's through PayPal, so I'm not sure when it will eventually make your money. Well, my question is when does that get put into our budget that that's the part I have to ask you this? Oh, so we will have out of this 1832. Are you taking out is PayPal charges when you take the money out? And that's the fees already. Oh, that's already with the paid. Okay. Okay. I didn't know where I didn't I didn't even I thought the fees were from the company. So, I made about $1,800. It will have in the funds maybe by August. Yeah. I'll I'll try to get that.

Hey, that's $1,800. Question. Would we need to use that before the budget here ends or would it just roll over? Oh, don't caution. about this less. That's what I'm saying. And from the banners, I believe it'll roll over, but I'll double check that for you as well. I hope they're making profit, so why didn't you give this? Well, my understanding from the council was that we should do things like this to improve our own funds so that we don't have to ask for any funds from the council, but our our budget shouldn't be cut because of this. I'm not Oh, you're you're you're making your own money. Let me move away from here. You don't need that much anymore.

That's what I don't want anymore. I don't want that happening. You know, that better not happen. We're sucking it. We're trying. And the thing the reason we're raising this is for our program that we already have and now we want to do the field day that's going to help with the field day. I think what when they advised that the time that we went to the meeting is that what they said is that because we have the cat that we have for the other programs at the school that we will get money like this for that. But I don't think they're going to do any more cuts. No, I hope not. I think they meant that. But look like they also says that the team programs they love and that was with the money that they got from the town. So I just always think the worst and

you know the Yes. Yes. You know I've always uh next I'm going to move on. I'm going to move on to seven 7B. Paint a picture with mom so we can discuss how that went. Anybody want to talk about a little bit? It was um I think it went off. Yeah, we had a good turnout. We gave up. Okay. The the main thing we discovered is that there are a lot of used books. So, there's two boxes right now still of used books that we need to get rid of.

So, we we thought of as a when we were thinking while we were there that we're going to start distributing to the little libraries book distribution. Uh my idea I'm going to contact I contacted my school's literary society but I don't know if Miami Lakes Educational Center or HML or any of the other schools this is something that are you going to add to see if their literary societies will be willing to come also and help with this endeavor because it's a lot of books and to take them around the town. We're going to we said this summer ladies what we agreed is that we're going to go put the books in the little libraries. Correct. We're going to still go around collecting those books. I can get I can contact the FDA. We have an MBA in our school now. Uhhuh. They might want to help with that. Also help with the books.

The only thing they have to do is to get access to the books, they have to have somebody open up the shed to give them access to those books so that they can then like every kid can grab maybe 10 books and drop it off at a little library, you know, to alternate these books during the summer. And this I think would be a great like I don't know even a silver night project or a community service project. It would be nice. So it's good. It would be a great summer night for someone to take on like a freshman. Yeah. Or even an eighth grade. I think it I like the idea of us supplying the little libraries with the books that we collect. I think that's a great We're giving these books back to the community. The nicer books will keep for our events and all the girl who came to the meeting who said that she was like building her own little library. I guess you remember

I don't remember. Oh, she came with her mom. She came with her mom and she was temple. But if anybody I haven't seen any like her like like work off of this too where she has like a little program. So when you reach to when you reach out to us we will see if they can also would be any any so if anybody's listening any literary societies any book clubs that would like to students that would like to take this on as a project. We want to get the used books that are in the town in the Mary Collins uh center and have them put in the little libraries around town. Yeah. And that's what we all did that day by the way.

Um We ended up this like a monthly of service events either like the key clubs or the National Honor Society and any club that should take this on. I'm open to it like FBA. So it's not us doing it all the time. I'm going to do it a few times this summer. I'm just going to go in, grab books, and start putting them in the little libraries. I happen to be in town. I'm not traveling that much, but I don't think it should fall on us. I think the kids should be doing this. Oh, that'd be great. So if some kids can do that if any of you want to do it during the summer with me, let me know and we can coordinate and just drive around town and drop off the little books like I enjoy doing actually you enjoy it too. You said that when we're doing it

with all the family coming in and looking grabbing to have the little kids getting books and but you're absolutely right. I mean I think Florida education advisory board we should be kids the parents the kids to do that. Yeah. not just us doing it. So, let's let's please I need you to, you know, r the troops up and if you can all maybe reach out in your schools, those of you that are in schools, if you have, you know, um anybody that's interested in doing that, let's try and get somebody to take that on for us. Okay. Next, um anything else with paint a picture with mom? But I thought it went well. It went well. Okay. And it was cozy. I mean,

it was nice. It was It was nice. Okay. Uh the Words of Excellence debrief. Is there anything we want to say about the words of excellence you briefly? I think it was great things to say. Let me see. I'm happy to speak right now. I feel like we said something at the end of the night and know I don't remember getting Oh, are you a lot going on? Yeah, she does. I thought everything went well. I can't remember like everything that was like that went wrong. Oh, wait. From the arch. Go ahead. Go ahead. Oh, for the balloon. For me, there were so many people coming that did not that brought more than two people.

Oh, yeah. There was someone that brought like 12 people and I had to accommodate them luckily. And there were still two tables of people not there. And that was another thing. Retirees did not show up from my educational center and from HML. I know HML had grabbed whatever, but my educational center um they that's unacceptable. They list they should have at least like given us a heads up. Yeah. None of them that was all the retirees from Educational Center and HML. So Miami Educational Center had no retirees show up and they had no nominations for any category. Correct. I don't recall. Yeah, they No, they didn't. They didn't show up at No, they did. They did. They did have nominations and they had a winner.

They had a winner. One of the AP HML had HML had a winner. Yes. So then everybody participated. It was just that and that's not Did he say he had any work there? But I missed his this time. He didn't send it. So we have like two optional two. No. No. But they called out and they Yes. There was two tables that were completely empty like the retirees from this educational center. Yeah. How did Yeah. Tickets are going to help other expense but no not sell. But issue tickets for for people coming.

And they were saying, "Well, I was not told that." And I'm like, "Oh, okay. Did intergovernmental settlement bring two people that they like?" And like those little children. No. No. Like it's okay. What do you remember? I think you were next to me, were you? No. They like, "Oh, look in the car." In the car and I was like, "No." No. And then you have this group of eight that's waiting like where where's my seat? Where's my seat? Where's my seat? I was like, okay, well done. Well, half of you guys didn't already sit up there. You know who the winners are. You issue them whatever. If it's two guests, you issue that person two tickets

physically. They have to give them two tickets physically. They have to come here at the hotel. And if they need more, well, just like graduation, right? You have a process in place. If they need more, they can request then they can request. You put them on a list and as people decline, you go to that because they receive three tickets and two others.

Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. Oh, maybe we can do it. No, we still have too many people maybe. Okay, so that that was a big thing. The suspensions where at my school, but for what? We're blowing up test. No, they're cheating on the test. Oh, that's that's dis that's unfortunately that's but you know what and they're not like that's that's huge EOC and just like they're all everything suspended. That's like the first step suspension and after that they're like talk with the parents let them know because that way they won't do it again.

Oh cheating is no because that's going to affect the school of course. Then the spool gets bad all kinds of stuff gone where a couple did we want to say anything about Yeah, the balloon. Thank you. We need to make sure we have 20 minutes. Make sure we have the poll. Okay. Wait. So So we we don't have um I had bought I bought last year. Oh yeah, I have the IVM. I bought last year the um the

the stand or the banner and that went missing. It was in it was left in that little room with the banner itself and that went missing. Somebody took it scond with it. I don't know. So when what do we do here? We're ordering another one for next year. You don't order with our funds or I'm going to order with our funds. Yeah. Because if you're running to an emergency, we need to So make sure I'll order it again from our funds and then I'll keep it at home. I'm not trusting it to stay on. Um, and I'll make sure make sure that we was but other than that, was there something else? She has a list. Oh, you have a list.

Yeah. I was like, where's my list? I'm like, we know. Yeah. Okay. So, first to make sure there's enough plates. I think we were good. Uh, we like messed with things around last minute, but it was I think that was fine. But just make sure there's Yeah, she because of you. Yeah. But I think that we were going based off the number from the previous year. That's what it was. The number packaging, I think. So, two boxes ordered. So, whatever the Amazon was, it just needs to be up. We were just looking for the items, not the like amount the amount. So, we have to make sure our amounts are correct. And then piggy back off that the food just to order a little bit more cuz there was only one 200 from Vicki Bakery, which is like a little bit kind of like low in comparison to the amount of like people we actually had attending. Were there were they empty? Like did they was there?

Cuz from what I saw, there was still some stuff left. A little bit. Yeah, just Yeah, I saw some saw. I think we placed it before the actual event cuz we were looking uh I have the en sure all parts of the lunar are here. Um and the communication uh to notify the winners to come to make sure that they're like yeah like they already uh to bring the table class the day before to set up instead of like in the moment. Okay. Um

the reason I wanted to do that but you guys said not to do that. It's true. And I and I Yeah, that's something I I think that it will be a good idea maybe to drop at least to drop everything off because the students did a great job job setting everything up the day off. But maybe we can drop the everything off the day before if we want. What was the problem that wasn't stopped? Is it because there's nowhere or we're afraid of things being taken? Well, the flowers we can't drop off. That's what it was. And then the flowers can drop off on but

we didn't want to go both days but now seeing it like most people we voted I think that if I remember correctly even Jackie said we will set up the day off but now looking back I I think that it will be a good idea to go the day before at least to drop a few things just to make sure just because we can't start like tables without the tablecloths that you set up. That's the most important thing. We have enough cake. Was there enough cake or godless? Two two. Yeah, two. Two cake. Two. Yeah, I had no problem going there the day before. So, we'll do that. We'll go the day before. Okay. Anything else? Uh just to make sure like always check the mic before. Um and the music the music we finally there was somebody.

Oh, no. I didn't but it was it was nice. um for intergovernmental to call every principal before to ask if they're coming or if they're sending a representative just so we don't have like these important tables with just like empty seats and just kind of waiting for them to come. They were missing. No, because I called them morning but I'm like, "Oh, next time let's put a note to like call a little before." Way before. Yeah. Wait, a lot of them they were coming before you called. No, I just reminded them cuz you never know. Yeah. And just Yeah. Not that they were in tears for next year. There's public just kind of sitting around. Um, but honestly, they were very helpful. I want to say they were like were used were used.

No, no, like for setting up before, not for fabulous. My parents saw like the little kids were rather I think there was too many volunteers both sides and the the culinary and like your kid the kids my kids. I think cuz I was like trying to give them stuff to do and they were just like staying there which like it's fine. So maybe since now we already know what it entails maybe predetermine how many and how many you need for each sign. So they're not they have to serve and they got to serve all the table.

Yeah. So the thing with that was the only like criticism I guess I have for that is that they kept on asking the same people do you want food and like people kept on saying like no I'm good like no I'm good. No I'm good. They kept on going up to like the same people. Oh for the tables. For the tables. So maybe she has to assign she has to come up with like you have these two tables. You have these two table assign them tape. And the same thing with the other volunteers. Hey you guys are going to do the balloon arch. I need three people for that. You guys are and then when you know how many you need exactly you want to have a few backups on here just working. That was a full days. So I think it's getting better and better ladies.

Okay. Okay, I'm going to move on now to new business. Um, so there's a special call meeting on proposed town committee budgets. That's for June, what is it? June June 4th, which I which I will be at. Um, what day of the week is that? By the way, the last Thursday. That's the last day of school. Correct. I believe that's the last day of school. So, yeah, I'll be there at that meeting. Um, and then you what we need to do for that meeting is we have to fill out um what's form. Do you have the form or your I have it on. I didn't print out send it to me because we have to fill out those sections. I don't know somebody. Hey, do you have do you have in your laptop? Can you bring Can you open it up?

Ignore the so that we can so that we can or are you going to put it up there? Uh I have it in my bag. Oh, you do have it.
