[00:00:01]
CALL THIS MEETING OF THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE TO ORDER ON WEDNESDAY ON, UM, CAN YOU PUT UP THE AGENDA ROBIN? I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME.
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS EVERYONE WOULD STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL APPROVAL OF THE AGENDAS, THE NEXT DOOR BUSINESS.
WE APPROVE THE AGENDA SECOND AND DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR.
UH, ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS GO TO THE JULY 21ST COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES I MOVE, WE ACCEPT THE JULY 21ST, 2021 COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
SECOND DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
AND NOW WE GET TO THE MEAT OF OUR MEETING.
IT'S LIKE ALMOST LIKE ALLITERATION THERE.
I MEAN THE MEETING, UM, FINDING THE SCOPE OF THE TRAINING.
WE WANT TO COME OUT TODAY WITH A DEFINED SCOPE.
AND I THINK FROM THE LAST, OUR LAST MEETING, WE AGREED THAT WE WERE GOING TO FOCUS ON, UM,
THE ONLY OTHER THING I COULD THINK OF WAS WE ALSO, I THINK ONE OF US PROPOSE ANY CHANGES TO
SO I'LL THROW THAT OUT FOR Y'ALL.
UM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UM, AN EMAIL THAT I SENT TO YOU ON FROM TANYA.
SO THOSE ARE FIVE BULLET POINTS WE CAN START OFF WITH.
UM, INGRID, WHAT DO YOU THINK? YEAH.
UM, SO I, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, SO I AGREE WITH, WELL, ARE YOU GUYS HEARING THE FEEDBACK ON YOUR END OR IS THAT JUST ME? OKAY.
UM, I THINK WHAT TANYA SAID IS GOOD.
I MEAN, IT DEFINITELY EMPHASIZES THE STRATEGIC ASPECT AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT BULLET POINT DOWN OH 17, THAT, THAT WOULD FALL UNDERNEATH THE SCOPE OF THE STRATEGIC OVERSIGHT.
IS THAT HOW YOU UNDERSTAND IT AS WELL? YEAH, SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT WAY TO GO.
I LIKE THE THREE BULLET POINTS THAT TANYA HAS ON THERE.
AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE BROAD AND ENCOMPASS, I THINK PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FALLS UNDER ONE OF THOSE BULLET POINTS.
WE HAVE A SCOPE THERE'S ENOUGH LATITUDE, I THINK IN THESE BULLET POINTS THAT WE CAN GO WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
I'M SORRY, IF YOU WANT ME TO RAISE THE ELECTRONIC HAND, I DO THINK WE NEED TO GO OVER ALWAYS 17 WITH MORE OF A TECHNOLOGY LENS A LITTLE BIT.
SOME, I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO GO, YOU KNOW, HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED ON THAT? WELL, WE CAN CERTAINLY GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN.
UM, YEAH, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK WHETHER FIND HIS BULLET POINTS, ALLOW US TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CHANGE.
UM, SO MAYBE WE CAN ADD THAT BULLET POINT IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU PROPOSE ANY CHANGES TO ALWAYS 17,
[00:05:03]
WHICH WOULDN'T KICK IN UNTIL NEXT YEAR, BUT I JUST THINK WE CAN, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO IMPROVE 17, FOUR BULLET POINTS.UM, SO LET'S GO BACK THROUGH 17.
YEAH, I GUESS THE BEGINNING IS A GOOD PLACE TO START THE INTERPRETATIONS.
UM, HAVING THE, OF THE INTERPRETATIONS AND MONITORING INDICATORS, ARE YOU SUGGESTING TO MODIFY THE INTERPRETATIONS OR THE ACTUAL POLICIES THEMSELVES ACTUAL POLICY? I WOULDN'T MODIFY THAT INTERPRETATION.
I JUST THINK WE MAY FIND SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ADD AS WE GO THROUGH.
UM, BUT IF WE, IF WE GO OFF AND FIND SOME AREA THAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT THAT WE WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE PLACE TO DO, IT WOULD BE TO COME BACK TO 17 AND PUT IT DOWN AS ONE OF THE NUMBERS.
UM, I JUST, I JUST THINK THAT'S A GOOD, UM, WE SHOULD ADD THAT LATITUDE OR EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE I JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT MONTHS FROM NOW WE'LL BE, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING AND WE'LL SAY, BOY, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
I WANT TO SAY WE SHOULD REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT.
WE SHOULDN'T ASSUME THAT THE NEXT GROUP IS GONNA KNOW THAT THAT'S UNDERNEATH OF THIS NUMBER, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, TO CLARIFY IT A LITTLE FOR THE NEXT GROUP THAT COMES ON.
UM, SO THAT'S ALL I WAS THINKING THERE, BUT WE DO NEED TO SEE, I TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME WE, WE HAD THE INTERPRETATIONS ALSO OR THE, UH, YEAH, THE INTERPRETATIONS ALSO WE DID, WE HAD THE INTERPRETATION RECOMMENDATIONS.
OR THERE'S A THREAT SOMEWHERE I HAD TO GET FROM MY DOG WITH ZOOM.
I HAD TO GET A LITTLE BARKBOX AND YOU TURN IT ON.
AND IT JUST, IT MAKES ALL THOSE LITTLE LIKE, UM, SOUNDS THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN HEAR, BUT A DOG.
AND SO IF SHE WAS, IF I WAS ON A ZOOM AND SHE WAS GOING CRAZY, I'D JUST TURN IT ON.
AND IT, MAN, IT WORKS WELL EXCEPT WHERE IT TURN IT OFF.
NO, MY PROBLEM IS A BIG TRUCK COMES ANYWHERE NEAR OUR HOUSE.
I'M LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? IT'S A GARBAGE TRUCK.
I'LL SEE THE MONITORING INDICATORS.
UM, LET'S GO BACK THROUGH THIS.
THE SUPERINTENDENT SPARK NORTH FACULTY.
YOU'RE MAKING THIS HARD ON ME.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO, YOU WANT TO START WITH THE POLICY ITSELF OR THE INDICATORS, WHEREAS I'M NOT SEEING IT AS IT'S NOT ON THE ZOOM SCREEN.
I'VE GOT, ARE YOU SCREEN SHARING THOSE? I GOT IT.
SUPER POTENTIAL PARTNER WITH FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, AND STAFF, BOTH WITHIN, AS
[00:10:01]
WELL AS OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT, RIGHT.TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATES SEAMLESSLY WITH TEACHING RESEARCH AND SPORE OPERATIONS TO THE DISTRICT.
SO GLAD YOU DON'T NEED TO RAISE FANS.
I CAN SEE EVERYBODY KIND OF TRYING TO FIND AN ENTRY POINT FOR DISCUSSION BECAUSE LIKE THIS THING THAT, THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH TO ME IS VERY ENCOMPASSING.
THE INTERPRETATION, YOU KNOW, IS VERY SORT OF, THIS IS WHAT WE DO.
UM, WHAT, I THINK ONE THING WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO LIKE THE SUPERINTENDENT SHELL ONE, SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY WHERE IT SAYS ENSURE CONSISTENT BEST IN CLASS SUPPORT, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
UM, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THERE TOO.
ONE THING I THINK THAT WHEN WE TALKED, I SENT AN EMAIL ABOUT, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT IS SORT OF OUR UX AND OUR UI EXPERIENCES FOR TECHNOLOGY, FOR STAKEHOLDERS.
LIKE I WOULD WANT TO FLUSH THAT OUT EITHER IN THE INTERPRETATION OR THE POLICY A LITTLE BIT MORE THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF, UM, USER END USER, UH, PROGRAM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORD WOULD BE.
UH, SOME SORT OF END USER WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW THE TECHNOLOGY IS BEING DEPLOYED AND HOW PARENTS ARE USING IT.
WOULD THAT NEED AN ADDITION TO THE POLICY, A TWEAK TO THE POLICY OR A TWEAK TO THE INTERPRETATION? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO PUT IN THERE? I MEAN, I WOULD THINK THE END-USER WOULD BE ENCOMPASSED IN THAT STATEMENT AS A BROAD.
BUT THIS IS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO TALK ABOUT, THIS IS AN EMPHASIS RETHINK IT'S UNDER THERE, BUT PROBABLY BE, UM, BECAUSE WE WANT MORE THAN JUST THE FOUR OR FIVE OF US TO KNOW THAT THAT'S IN THERE.
UM, FRANKLY, I BELIEVE WE SHOULD JUST ACCEPT THIS AS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE MONITORING INDICATORS.
WE GO TO THE STAFF AND SAY, OKAY, YOU SAID WHAT THE MONDO MONITORING INDICATORS ARE.
YOU NEED TO SET UP AND GIVE US A BRIEFING ON THE RESULTS.
BASED ON THE MONITORING INDICATORS.
ONCE WE GET THAT, THEN WE CAN LOOK AT MAYBE CHANGING OR ADDING OR DOING WHATEVER, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW THE SPECIFICS UNTIL WE GET REPORTS FROM THE MONITORING INDICATORS THAT THEY HAVE INTERPRETED AND GIVE US THOSE REPORTS.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A REPORT ON ANY OF THESE INDICATORS THAT I KNOW OF RIGHT NOW, OTHER THAN WHAT WAS SAID, LAST MEETING IN GENERAL TERMS, BUT NOT A FORMAL REPORT.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD CHANGE.
SO THAT THIS IS THIS TO ME IS JUST LIKE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
YOU SET IT UP, YOU SET THE POLICY UP, YOU SAID, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
THEN YOU DO IT AFTER YOU DO IT, YOU REVIEW IT AND YOU MAKE CHANGES BASED ON THAT REVIEW.
YEAH, BUT THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE BECAUSE WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS FIRST ONE, NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THE MON THE SOLE MONITORING INDICATOR ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HARDWARE ISSUES, INSTRUCTIONS, SOFTWARE, SAS, EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO WEB HELP DESK SERVICE TICKET SURVEY.
AND TO ME, THAT IS IN MY OPINION, THAT IS JUST NOT EVEN KIND OF TOUCHING THE BROADNESS OF WHAT NUMBER ONE, ALWAYS 17 ONE IS GETTING INTO.
UM, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE ONE, WHEN, UH, MR. SHOHAN WAS GOING THROUGH IT AT OUR FIRST TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE MEETING, HE SAID, OH NO, WE HAVE, UM, UH, SOLAR WIND.
WE HAVE ALL THESE OTHER THINGS WE'RE DOING THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT.
SO TO ME, IF I'M LOOKING AT SO, SO I'M JUST GOING TO USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE.
I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE WHERE AN ADEQUATE INTERPRETATION AND MONITORING WOULD HAVE SOME SORT OF FORMALIZED UX UI DESIGN EXPERIENCE.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT MONITORING INDICATOR, THE WEB HELP DESK SERVICE TICKETS SURVEY THAT WOULD GET AT ANY OF THAT.
SO IF WE JUST ACCEPT IT AND THEN THEY COME IN AND SAY, HERE'S THEIR WEB HELP DESK SERVICE
[00:15:01]
TICKET SURVEY.BECAUSE AS A PARENT IN THE DISTRICT, I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE NEVER FILLED OUT ONE OF THESE THINGS.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S EVEN THE PRIMARY ROUTE.
MOST STAKEHOLDERS WOULD USE TO ADDRESS TECHNOLOGY PROBLEMS. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE MISSING? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IT WOULD BE, I MEAN, WE CAN ACCEPT IT.
AND THEN, BUT THEN WHAT, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT ADEQUATE TO COVER ALL OF WHAT ONE IS INTENDING TO COVER.
WE TALKED ABOUT SEEING SOLAR WIND REPORTS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THAT.
BUT MY POINT IS THAT'S HAPPENED.
WE GOT A, WE GOT A VERBAL, WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THESE ONE BY ONE LAST TIME WE MET, LET'S GET A REPORT IN, ON OUR, OUR COPY FOR EACH OF THOSE.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT ANYWAY.
AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE REPORT, YOU CAN SAY, WELL, WE HAVE PARENTAL SURVEY, OKAY, SHOW US THE SURVEY, SHOW US THE SURVEY RESULTS, SHOW US HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU TALK TO AND WHAT DID, WHAT WERE YOUR RESULTS, DATA METRICS.
ONCE WE GET THAT, THEN WE CAN DETERMINE, WE NEED A MORE, AS MORE QUESTIONS.
WE NEED THEM HAVE MORE INFORMATION, BUT UNTIL WE HAVE IT IN WRITING, WE ARE JUST TALKING.
UM, I THINK WE'D BE SUCCESSFUL EITHER WAY.
WELL, HONESTLY RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, I HAVEN'T SEEN, LIKE YOU SAID, I'VE ONLY MET ON THE BOARD SIX MONTHS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE NEVER REALLY SILLY HELP DESK SERVICE TICKET SURVEYS, BUT I KIND OF HAVE A SENSE AND MARK I'M MR. SHOHAM, MAYBE YOU CAN LET ME KNOW.
THAT SEEMS MORE LIKE PEOPLE WITHIN THE SCHOOL, DO PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THAT AT ALL? DO STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THAT OR IS THAT MORE SOMETHING THAT COMES FROM SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY STAFF KIND OF KICKING IT UP? UM, IT'S BASICALLY FOR IN-HOUSE STAFF.
UM, SO FOR ME IT DOESN'T, I'M SORRY, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION BECAUSE HOW ARE WE EXCEEDING STAKEHOLDER EXPECTATIONS WITH A MONITORING INDICATOR THAT ONLY GETS AT ONE STAKEHOLDER THAT'S SORT OF LIKE, WE ROLL OUT A NEW READING PROGRAM AND WE JUST SURVEY THE READING TEACHERS TO SEE IF THEY LIKE IT AND USE THAT AS A MONITORING METRICS.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT EVEN TOUCHING A LOT OF THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE, THAT THIS, SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
I DON'T, YOU KNOW, IF WE VOTE TO APPROVE THIS AND WE GET THE WEB HELP DESK SERVICE TICKET, I DON'T THINK THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS, UM, ADEQUATE AND, AND, AND COMMENTS.
I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT APPROVING ANYTHING.
I WAS JUST, UM, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST TAKE THIS ONE AND LOOK AT THE REPORT LIKE DICK SAID, AND, UM, AND THEN WOULD YOUR PC, CAUSE I AGREE WITH THE ANGRY, I THINK THIS IS IT'S MISSING THE END USER PART, UM, WHICH IS WHERE WE TOUCH OUR CONSTITUENTS.
UM, WELL MAYBE SINCE THEY'VE HEARD THE DISCUSSION, THEN WHEN WE GET THE REPORT, THEY'LL PUT TOO MANY USER DATA IN THERE THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
YOU KNOW? SO I THINK THEY'RE SMART FOLKS.
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE, WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
LET'S GIVE THEM A SHOT TO GIVE US A REPORT AND WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT WHEN WE GET THAT REPORT.
OH, SAY, CAN WE COMPROMISE AND MAYBE NOT APPROVE IT YET, BUT LIKE SEE THE REPORT AND SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
BECAUSE TO ME, I HAVE A HARD TIME APPROVING IT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT FROM WHAT MR. SHOHAM SAYS THAT THAT'S AN ADEQUATE, UM, MONITORING INDICATOR FOR THAT
I DON'T THINK WE'RE EVEN CLOSE TO.
UM, IF I MAY, UH, WE DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CONCERNS ARE MISSING.
UM, I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT WE, UM, BE, UH, ABLE TO BRING BACK THE REPORT WITH THE WEB DESK TO GET SURVEYS AND ANY OTHER SURVEYS THAT WE MAY HAVE, AND NOT ONLY BRINGING DATA TO YOU, BUT ALSO BRING PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO OUR MONITORING INDICATORS.
SO WE CAN, UH, PERHAPS ADD ANOTHER BULLET POINT OR TWO AND PROPOSE THAT AS AN ADDITION, ADDITIONAL MONITORING INDICATOR FOR, OH, HE'S 71.
[00:20:02]
AND, UM, SO WE CAN ENHANCE THE IT'S THE TARGET TO ME.JUST ONE OTHER COMMENT THIS I KNOW IS IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE, I MEAN, IT SHOULD HAVE, WE SHOULDN'T REVIEW IT EVERY MONTH OR EVERY QUARTER, ONCE A YEAR, LET IT GET IT SET.
OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO BE DRIVING THE STAFF UP THE TREES, WHICH WE DON'T TO DO.
WE GET IT, GET THIS FIRST ONE OUT OF OUR, OUT OF THE WAY, GET IT.
SO WE LIKE IT AND THEN PUT IT ASIDE AND WORK WITH IT FOR A YEAR.
AND YOU KNOW, PROBABLY WE WANT TO DO IT IN CONCERT WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS EVALUATION.
SO WE, WE HAVE SOME METRICS IN PARTICULAR SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR JOB WHEN WE MONITOR AND EVALUATE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PERFORMANCE.
JUST A THOUGHT, CAN I ASK A QUESTION THEN? COLONEL GARNER, SORRY.
I'VE GOT TO GET IT WHERE I CAN SEE YOU.
I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT I AGREE.
DID WE GET THIS RIGHT? AND THEN IT, AND WE LET IT PERCOLATE FOR A YEAR AND THEN WE REVISIT IT.
NOPE, NO INTENTION OF RE ONCE A YEAR, INGRID.
WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I AGREE, BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST TIME OF THE YEAR AND THEN LEAVE IT ALONE RATHER THAN ACCEPTING WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT INTO ONE 17, UM, WHEN, CAUSE THAT'S BEING NEW TO THE BOARD, UH, WHEN YOU GUYS WENT OVER ALL THIS STUFF, I JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM A, FROM A TECHNOLOGY PLANNING STANDPOINT, IT SEEMS TO LEAVE OUT A LOT OF STUFF THAT I THINK WOULD BE IMPORTANT IN A, UM, IN A TECHNOLOGY POLICY EXPECTATION.
SO I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF LOOK AT IT NOW AND TINKER WITH IT A LITTLE BIT AND THEN ONCE WE GET IT SET, LEAVE IT ALONE.
BUT TO ME RIGHT NOW, IT'S A FAIRLY IMPERFECT, UH, OH, WE, BUT ALTHOUGH EITHER WAY, WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE DEVELOPED THE OES, UM, IT WASN'T WITH A LOT OF FOCUS ON EACH ONE AND IT WAS OKAY.
THAT'S BROAD, IT'LL COVER, IT'LL COVER MOST OF THE STUFF WE DID.
WE DIDN'T LOOK AT IT SURGICALLY, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NOW.
SO WE'RE REALLY REFINING THAT BECAUSE THIS WAS JUST 1 0 8, WHICH IS PART OF AN OLD POLICY THING.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, HUMAN NATURE, YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON EVERYTHING WITH THE SAME DEGREE OF INTENSITY.
SO THIS IS REALLY REFINING THE OIC.
AND THEN I THINK IT'LL BE GOOD FOR AWHILE.
THAT THAT'S JUST MY VIEW ON IT.
I JUST WANT THE STAFF TO LOOK AT THE MONITORING INDICATORS THAT THEY SAY THEIR INTERPRETATION AND THEN THE MONITORING INDICATORS, AND THEN GIVE US SOMETHING TO LOOK AT, BUT TO MESS AROUND WITH THE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS WE'VE BEEN THERE NOW, IT'S TIME FOR THE STAFF TO DO THEIR THING AND LET US KNOW BY GIVING US REPORTS BASED ON THE MONITORING INDICATORS THAT THEY PICKED NUMBER THEY'D PICK THAT WE DIDN'T, THAT WAS THEIR INTERPRETATION AND THEIR INDICATORS.
LET'S GIVE THEM A SHOT AND GIVE US A REPORT AND EVALUATE IT.
AND THEN IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR THINGS THAT ARE NOT ANSWERED, THAT'S THE TIME AFTER YOU HAVE A HARD COPY, THAT'S THE TIME THAT WE TWEAK IT AND WE MAY HAVE TO TWEAK THE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.
I THINK THEY'RE BROAD ENOUGH, BUT THE MONITORING INDICATORS IS WHERE YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE SPECIFICS.
SEEMS TO ME THAT WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT TO EVALUATE AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
[00:25:01]
I WOULD SURE LIKE TO SEE THE MONITORING INDICATORS AND THE, THE RESULTS OF THAT SO THAT WE HAVE A TIME, A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT, REPORT TO THE FULL BOARD BEFORE WE SIT DOWN AND FILL OUT OUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ON THE SUPERINTENDENT.THAT'S FOR ME A LITTLE TRICKY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN PLACE IN TIME TO HOLD MANY, BUT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE US A FEEL FOR WHAT WAS GOING ON.
THAT'S OUR NEXT STEP THEN? UM, AND TANYA, OR HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO DO THAT FOR Y'ALL? UM, IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER RIGHT NOW BEING THE START OF SCHOOL FOR MY STAFF.
WE'RE PRETTY STRETCHED OUT WITH GETTING THE DEVICES IN THE KIDS' HANDS AND GOING FORWARD WITH THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS.
I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING IT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL IF WE, IF WE DISCUSSED ONE O E AT AT TIME.
SO, UH, ONLY 17.1 ON THIS MEETING, START WITH A REPORT OF THIS, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION AND BASIC SYSTEMS AND THEN ANY REVISIONS TO, YOU KNOW, IF WE WANNA, YOU KNOW, ADD ANY MONITORING INDICATORS OR WHATEVER, BUT, UH, PROVIDING INFORMATION ON EVERY ONE OF THESE ZOE'S, UM, TH THIS IS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF MS BOATWRIGHT KNOWS THIS, BUT WAS A NEWLY DEVELOPED OB.
IT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE AND HAS NEVER BEEN MONITORED BEFORE.
SO WE NEVER HAD PROVIDED A MONITORING REPORT IN HISTORY ON THIS TOPIC, SO EVERYTHING WILL BE NEW.
UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN'T SEE US BEING ABLE TO REPORT ON ALL, UM, 11, UH, ALWAYS WITHIN A COUPLE MONTH PERIOD OF TIME.
I, I, I HONESTLY DON'T THINK THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR US WITH THE LEVEL ROBIN HAD HER HAND UP FIRST.
OH, WHEN WE DO THE WORK SESSION, THAT'S WHEN THE ANGLE REPORT, THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN WILL BE APPROVED IN AUGUST.
SO THAT WON'T AFFECT THE EVALUATION THAT WE'RE DOING THIS COMING UP IN OCTOBER.
THESE WOULD GO INTO EFFECT FOR HIS EVALUATION FOR NEXT YEAR.
MY COMMENT WAS JUST GOING TO BE, I THINK THAT THE TECHNOLOGY PIECE OF STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL, GETTING KIDS DEVICES RIGHT AWAY AND GETTING THAT ROLLING BECAUSE I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CONCERN ABOUT HOW MANY KIDS ARE GOING TO BE, UH, QUARANTINED.
SO I DON'T WANT TO MESS TOO MUCH WITH TECHNOLOGY RIGHT NOW.
I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO LOOK AT AT THIS O E UM, AND HOW WE'RE GONNA MONITOR IT GOING FORWARD AND NOT KIND OF DEMAND A LOT OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT UNTIL THEY KIND OF GET THIS ALL SETTLED IN, BECAUSE I DO, I THINK THERE'S A LOT THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON WITH TECHNOLOGY IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO I'M JUST IN A LOT OF IT TOO, IS AS A PARENT IN THE SYSTEM, UM, WHO'S DEALING WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY.
I THINK THAT THIS ONE IS GOOD AND SOME OF THE STUFF I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE.
ROBIN WHAT'S, WHAT'S OUR, WHAT'S THE MONITORING.
AND I KNOW I'VE LOOKED AT THIS.
WHAT IS OUR, UM, INTERPRETATION MONITORING INDICATOR FOR NUMBER FOUR? YEAH.
UM, I MEAN, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG BITE, RIGHT? THAT'S A HUGE BITE RIGHT THERE, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, UM, I THINK WE CAN GET DONE BEFORE WE DO ANY KIND OF SUPERINTENDENT, CAUSE THESE ARE REALLY KIND OF, LIKE YOU SAID, UM, MR. SHERMAN DID THEY'RE THEY'RE BROAD AND, UH, UH, POLICIES.
UM, SO YEAH, THAT WAS KIND OF, MY COMMENT IS I THINK THAT BEEN LESS STRESS ON THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENTS FUNCTIONING RIGHT NOW WOULD PROBABLY BE, BE A GOOD IDEA.
AND I THINK TANYA, AS A GOOD POINT, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE WAY I WAS VIEWING IT.
JUST TAKE THAT FIRST BULLET POINT AND SEE, SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH IT.
THIS IS AS YOU'RE OUT A GRID, THIS IS, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF HERE AND THERE'S JUST NO WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT DONE.
SO JUST BY TAKING A BITE OF THE ELEPHANT AND DO THAT FIRST BULLET, WHAT DO YOU THINK THERE? SEE HOW THAT GOES.
[00:30:04]
OKAY.I CAN TELL YOU'RE NOT HAPPY, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO GO.
I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A POINT.
UH, I KNOW IT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE THIS DATA ON HAND IF WE DON'T, THAT THAT'S REALLY A NEGATIVE TO ME, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE PROBABLY, WE CAN DO IT BEFORE THE SUPERINTENDENT GETS EVALUATED THIS YEAR.
SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN TO TWEAK THIS THING MORE AND MORE AND MORE UNTIL WE GET WHERE WE WANT IT.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE IT DONE IN ENOUGH TIME OR THE STAFF TO CAPTURE THE DATA.
BUT I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THE KIND OF THINGS WE'RE ASKING ABOUT WE SHOULD HAVE, SHOULD BE AT THE FINGERTIPS OF OUR STAFF.
I, I DON'T SEE BANDWIDTH PER STUDENT.
I THINK I COULD COME UP WITH THAT VERY QUICKLY DEVICES PER STUDENT RATIO.
I THINK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH THAT VERY QUICKLY, BUT I I'M, I'M GOING TO ROLL.
I'M GOING TO ROLL WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
SO THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN AN ARMY COLONEL ROLLS, IT'S JUST NOT A NATURAL STATE.
UM, BUT I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WITH LIKE DEVICES PER STUDENT RATIOS, WE JUST AUTHORIZED IN THE, SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD, UM, K THROUGH SECOND GRADE.
SO WE JUST CHANGED THAT RECENTLY AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR ENROLLMENT LOOKS LIKE AND YOU KNOW, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
AND ONE THING I THINK WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY THING, WE HAVEN'T DONE IT BEFORE, WHICH IS BOTH EXCITING AND DAUNTING, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, WE'RE NOT TWEAKING SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG.
WE'VE GOT THIS NEW PROGRAM COMING IN AND I THINK THAT YOU AND I, AND MR.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS GOING, WAIT, THERE'S SOME PIECES IN HERE THAT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED FROM WHEN WE DID KIND OF THE BROAD, UM, TAKE ON THIS.
BUT I THINK THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITY, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF DOING, UM, ASKING THE STAFF TO DO THINGS THAT HAVE NOT YET HAVE NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE.
AND NOT ONLY IS IT NEW TO THE DISTRICT, YOU THINK ABOUT THE, UH, THE CHANGE IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE AND IS CONTINUING TO TAKE PLACE IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS.
I MEAN, THE GAME HAS CHANGED COMPLETELY.
SO WE'RE SORT OF TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, RIDE THIS WAVE, UM, ALL THE WAY.
AND SO I THINK IT'S REASONABLE THAT THIS TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND THAT THE STAFF SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET THIS INFORMATION, BUT THEY MAY NOT HAVE IT AT THE READY.
HOW ABOUT YOU ALL PICK ONE OF THESE, WHAT ARE THESE FIVE NUMBERS TO BRING US TO THE NEXT MEETING? IS THAT POSSIBLE? TANYA, MARK.
WHICH OF THE, UM, WHICH OF THE, LET ME MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ON WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS DISTRIBUTE YOUR, WHICH OF THE OTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE MOST READILY AVAILABLE TO BRING FOR THE COMMITTEE.
IF THERE'S ONE THAT, THAT IS A QUICK HITTER, LIKE DEREK WAS INDICATING, UM, LET'S DO THAT FOR THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE WE ALL UNDERSTAND THIS IS CRUNCH TIME.
YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO NUMBER FOUR, NUMBER FOUR, IS THAT WHATEVER, WHICHEVER ONE Y'ALL CAN TALK IT OVER AND JUST BRING ONE BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING.
UM, ALONG WITH THAT, MARK HAS ALREADY PREPARED, UH, AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART UPDATING THESE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AND PROVIDING, UM, SOME, A BRIEF BACKGROUND OR JOB DUTIES ON SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE NETWORK OPERATING CENTER.
SO I WANNA PROVIDE SOME KIND OF FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION OF THE DEPARTMENT AS WELL.
SO I'D LIKE TO BRING THAT AND THEN WE COULD ROLL RIGHT INTO, UM, O E 17.
UM, CAUSE WE HAD MENTIONED THAT THE LAST MEETING, UH, JOINING A CHORE, WHICH I, I CAN'T DO UNLESS IT'S MUCH LATER THAN SHEAR, BUT, UM, THAT MIGHT LEAD US INTO THAT.
SO THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME DECK.
YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT APPROACH.
INGRID, YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
WELL LET'S UH, TO ESTABLISH THE DATE AND TIME.
[00:35:08]
DO YOU ALL WANT THIS TO BE A AS NEEDED OR ARE WE DOING A SET DATE AND TIME? WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE NEEDED IN A SET DATE AND TIME WE'RE JUST STARTING AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONGER ROAD THAN I THINK MANY COMMITTEES.SO I THINK A SET DATE TIME WOULD BE GOOD.
SO FOR NEXT MONTH, DO YOU WANT TO MEET ON THE EIGHTH? THAT'S GOOD WITH ME.
I'VE GOT A COMMITMENT TO ALL DAY ON THE EIGHTH.
I'M PRETTY FLEXIBLE AT THE MOMENT.
JUST, YOU KNOW, FOR MY, MY STANDPOINT I AM TOO, BECAUSE I'M HOME BOUND, SO I'M NOT GOING TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE TO GO TO THE DOCTORS.
IT'S PROBABLY GOOD TO STAY IN AND RIGHT NOW.
UM, BUT YEAH, SO BASICALLY I'M FLEXIBLE.
SO WHAT DID SHE SAY TO THE THIRD? UH, SEPTEMBER 9TH, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9TH AT 1130 ISH.
I CAN PUT IT ON MY CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 9TH.
SO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS AT FIVE ON THAT DAY.
YOU ALL WANT 11 OR 1130? I'M FINE WITH EITHER.
UM, AND MR. STRIPPING SHIRT, ONE OF THE THING THAT WE MAYBE CAN PUT ON THE AGENDA TOO, IS, UM, DID YOU WANT TO START LOOKING AT WHAT SWELL WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT LATER? YOU KNOW, WE HAD BROUGHT UP ONE THING WE HAD AGREED ON IN THE LAST MEETING WAS POSSIBLY LOOKING AT, UM, EXTERNAL PEOPLE COMING, YOU KNOW, DOING LIKE AN AUDIT OF OUR BANDWIDTH AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
UM, IS THAT SOMETHING WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT MORE OR WAIT UNTIL WE GET MORE FURTHER ALONG DOWN THE OES? UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY WE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON AN RFP FOR A OUTSIDE COMPANY TO COME IN AND DO A FULL TECHNOLOGY AUDIT ON THE EQUIPMENT.
UM, THE INSTRUCTIONAL SIDE, PRETTY MUCH THE FULL GAMBIT.
SO WE DON'T NEED TO WHEEL THAT.
WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT THEN TOO MUCH.
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ALREADY IN THE WORKS.
ARE THEY, ARE THEY ALSO MARK, UM, AN AUDIT TO THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN OR THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR TECHNOLOGY? IS THAT PART OF IT? YES, THEY WILL ACTUALLY HELP US WRITE THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN, UPDATE, UM, AND HELP WE CAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY BRING IT UP TO THAT WORK, UH, IN THE RFP PROCESS ON THE NEXT MEETING.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY HIT THE TARGET FOR US OR YOU'RE YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY.
WE'LL PUT THAT ON THE NEXT JEN.
TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT THAT SHOULD, THAT SHOULD GET A LOT DONE.
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, MR. STRINGER, YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT.
UM, I HAVE GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS, GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY GIVE YOU SOMETHING
[00:40:01]
TO TAKE CARE OF ONE THING AND IT SCREWS UP SOMETHING ELSE.SO THEN THEY GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT AND THAT SCREWS UP SOMETHING ELSE.
THE EQUILIBRIUM OF THE HUMAN BODY IS AN IMPRESSIVE THING.
IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PAIN POINTS THERE ARE IN A HUMAN BODY.
I'M LEARNING THEM TOO HAVE LEARNED.
WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY, I THOUGHT YOU LOOK GOOD REAL QUICK.
YOU'RE DOING WELL, SO THAT'S GOOD.
I THINK WE'RE, UH, WE'RE DONE.
