NINE AND RACHEL, RACHEL ON THE AGENDA.
YES, WE HAVE ONE PHONE CALL THE MORNING.
IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME, UM, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
I WAS THINKING TODAY TO REQUEST THAT A RESOLUTION THINGS LIKE, OR DURING TODAY'S WORK SESSION,
[00:05:02]
BOTH DISTRICTS REGARDING THEIR CURRENT COVID POLICIES TO REEVALUATE HEALTHY STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS AND THAT THEY REMOVED ANY BASED ON VACCINATION STATUS OR MATH SQUARING.I FEEL THIS RESOLUTION COULD BE DISCUSSED IN TANDEM WITH TODAY'S WORK, ESPECIALLY THOMAS OF TEACHER BURNOUT AND PATIENT VOLUNTEERS POST COVID RESOLUTIONS, SUCH AS THIS HAVE INTENSITY FROM OTHER REPORTS OF EDUCATION ON STATES.
MY HOPE IS THAT EDUCATION CAN USE THE CURRENT DATA TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT DECLINE IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.
UM, I HAVE NOT BEEN BEFORE THE BOARD.
I DID WANT TO SAY THANKS TO A COUPLE MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE HERE, UM, THAT HELPED ME IN DISTRICT THIS TINY CARPET, GREAT HELP SEVERAL YEAR BOARD MEMBERS, JANE ROCCA, SUMMER MS AND MISS TANYA CROSSING AND THE NEWLY RETIRED TERRY BENNETT ABOUT GRADING, UH, FINANCIALS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DYNAMIC OF THE ONE AND ONLY HISTORY OF CHARTER.
SO EXPANDING A WARM WELCOME FROM THE DISTRICT FELT INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE SINCE I SIGNED ON LAST APRIL.
SO WITH THAT, UM, WE ALWAYS START ALL OF OUR MEETINGS WITH A REVIEW OF OUR MISSION AT RIVERVIEW.
AND OUR MISSION IS THAT REVERIE CHARTER SCHOOL IS A SMALL, DIVERSE LAND COMMUNITY.
WE CAN ENGAGE STUDENTS IN MEANINGFUL AND INNOVATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES, EMPHASIZING LEARNING BY DOING FAMILY AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND ENGAGED CITIZENSHIP, WHATEVER NURTURES THE WHOLE CHILD AND PREPARES EACH STUDENT OR A GLOBAL SOCIETY.
WE WANT STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE AND ALL ACROSS THE FOR EXAMPLE, AND MY SHAMELESS PLUG FOR THE DAY IS OUR OPEN ENROLLMENT.
WE'RE AT THE LAST WEEK OF OUR OPEN ENROLLMENT, THAT ENDS ON THE 31ST OF JANUARY AT FOUR 30.
I BROUGHT SOME OF OUR RIVERVIEW SWAG FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT SAT OUT HERE.
I TAILORED THIS ANNUAL REPORT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN MAYBE WHAT YOU'VE SEEN HISTORICALLY ONLY BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS PRETTY COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT SOME OF OUR TESTING DATA HAS BEEN SKEWED WITH SC WITH SOME OF THE STATE REPORT CARDS.
AND A LOT OF OUR GOALS WERE INFLUENCED BY THAT, IN THAT THERE WAS NOTHING.
SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME GOING THROUGH AND JUST IDENTIFYING WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR FOUR ECONOMIC GOALS, BUT SPEND MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE CHANGES WE'VE MADE INSIDE THE YEAR OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
UM, MOVING ON JUST FOR SOME OF THE MORE, UH, JUST THE DATA FROM OUR SCHOOL, WHEREVER WE CHARTER SCHOOL, WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 2009.
WE RENEWED OUR CHARTER THROUGH, UM, THROUGH THE DISTRICT IN 2019, WE SERVE KIDS WHO EIGHT WE'RE LOCATED AT ONE SAVANNAH.
YOU CAN FIND US@RIVERVIEWCHARTERSCHOOL.ORG.
UH, ROBERT BACKDOOR HAS BEEN SERVING AS THE DIRECTOR SINCE APRIL, UH, REESE BIRTH OFF WAS THE CHAIR LAST YEAR.
HE WAS REELECTED THIS YEAR FOLLOWING OUR, UM, OR ELECTIONS.
AND, UH, AND WE SERVE YOUR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
UM, SO OUR NUMBERS, UM, YOU'LL SEE, ARE OUR NUMBERS FROM 135 DAY REPORT FROM LAST YEAR AND THEN OUR 45 DAY REPORT THIS YEAR, WE INCREASED THE NUMBERS FROM 6 78, THE, OF LAST YEAR TO 6 97, 40 DAYS REPORT.
WE'RE AT 6 92, UM, CURRENTLY, OR AS OF PROBABLY TWO OR THREE DAYS.
AND I NOTICED STATING PREVIOUSLY, UM, OUR, UH, OUR SYSTEM, UM, FEDERAL REQUIREMENT, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF, UM, PAUSE BODY EXPRESSED ON FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS OR ACADEMIC RECORDINGS FOR OUR STATEWIDE.
UM, WHAT WE DID PUT TOGETHER WAS OUR NARRATIVE AND PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.
I'M JUST GONNA READ OUR ACADEMIC NARRATIVE, UM, AND THE, HOW WE INTEND TO CLOSE OUR ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
SO RIVER RECEIVES TWO REPORT CARDS.
WHEN WE GET REPORT CARDS, A CAGE SCHEME TO GET ONE MORE K-POP AND WE GET ONE FOR SISTER EIGHT, UH, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS OUR ACHIEVEMENT GAP FIRST AND FOREMOST, BY CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OF QUALITY TEACHERS AND THROUGH ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, OUR SMALLEST
[00:10:01]
SCHOOL WITH SMALL CLASS SIZES THAT ARE NO MORE THAN 20 PER CLASS ENSURES TEACHERS AND STAFF KNOW EACH CHILD.WELL, YOU CAN FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL GIFTS, TALENTS, AND SPECIAL NEEDS.
OUR DAILY SCHEDULE PROVIDES OUR TEACHERS WITH COMMON PLANNING TO ENSURE COLLABORATION AMONGST GRADE COLLEAGUES AND SPECIALISTS, AS WELL AS ACROSS GRADE LEVELS.
EACH OF THE DESIGN INTEGRATED UNITS OF STUDY, UM, FLEXIBLE GROUPING OF BEING EMPLOYED IN ABILITY, GROUPING SUCH AS GUIDED READING ASSISTANCE, RETAKE THE ONE WHO PROVIDE EARLY INTERVENTION, WRITE DOWN BY EXCUSE TEACHERS, TEACHING ASSISTANTS AND LEARNING SPECIALISTS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS NOT MEETING THE GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS FOREVER.
WE USE EXPERIENTIAL APPROACH CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL STUDENTS TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL LEARNING.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN EMPHASIS ON THE ARTS BY PROVIDING A VARIETY OF SPECIAL AREA CLASSES.
ONE SPECIAL AREAS SUCH AS THE RSP AND MOM'S CLASSES ARE INCLUDED IN SCHOOLS.
RESEARCH RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ACTUALLY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GAPS CLOSE IN ALL AREAS.
ANOTHER COMPONENT IS STRONG SOCIAL EMOTIONAL PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES BEGINNING EACH DAY WITH A MORNING MEETING OR ADVISORY GROUP AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR EIGHT CORE VALUES.
WE ALSO EMPLOY RECESS FOR EVERY CHILD, KINDERGARTEN THREE, VERY INDIVIDUALLY, THESE ATTRIBUTES AND WHAT MIGHT NOT MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE, BUT COMBINE THIS, THAT WE SHOULD FEEL SAFE AND LONG FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN.
AND IT CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING ACADEMIC RISKS.
UM, YOU, UM, I BELIEVE WE'RE PROVIDED THE ENTIRETY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
UM, AND WHAT I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON REALLY IT'S JUST THE RESULTS OR OBJECTIVES.
OUR FIRST ACADEMIC GOAL WAS TO SUPPORT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE FOR ALL RCS STUDENTS, BEAUTIFUL AND INNOVATIVE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ENGAGE STUDENTS AND PROVIDE AND IMPROVE LEARNING.
SO WE HAD FOUR OBJECTIVES THERE OF THOSE FOUR, WE HAD THREE MATH AND ONE NON THAT THE FIRST TWO WE CONSIDER MAT BECAUSE EXCUSE ME, UM, MEASURES OF GROWTH WERE SACKING.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TESTING EARLY VR, JUST LIKE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
SO I HAD NOTHING TO MEASURE THAT AGAINST OR MET BOTH THREES AND WHERE OUR PORTFOLIO NIGHTS.
SO THE 20, 20, 21 SCHOOL SCHOOL YEAR.
UH, SO US DO BOTH OF THOSE VIRTUAL.
THE FIRST ONE WAS IN THAT HOME WHERE THE STUDENTS, THOSE PORTFOLIO WAS CALLED.
AND THEN THE SECOND IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE YEAR, YOU DID A VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO.
NINE FAMILIES WERE ABLE TO LOG IN AND SEE THE PRODUCT PRODUCTS AND WHAT THEIR STUDENTS, AND IF THE ONE I'LL FOCUS ON IS OUR ONE FOUR, OUR GOAL NOT MET.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE NOT MET THAT BEFORE, BUT THAT HAD TO DO WITH OUR, UM, UM, EXCUSE ME, SATISFACTION RATINGS, UH, BASED ON OUR SURVEYS.
SO WHERE ARE WE LANDED THERE? WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SUSTAIN AN 85% BETTER ACROSS ALL FAMILIES, STUDENTS AND, AND STAFF, AND OUR NUMBERS WERE, UM, DEVELOPED AND ADMINISTERED STAIRS TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS LIKE THAT RESULTS IN THE SATISFACTION RATING WHERE 74.3 PER PARENTS NEED 4% FOR TEACHERS AND 91.6% STUDENTS.
UM, AND OF COURSE WITH JUST AS THIS DISTRICT SURVEYS SATISFACTION WITH THE CLIENT AS A TOTAL RATING OF BOTH PROGRESSING WELL AND EXEMPLARY.
SO AS FAR AS ACTION PLAN FOR THAT, UM, WE STARTED ON THAT.
UM, I I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN A DAY OR TWO AFTER I ARRIVED AT THE SCHOOL.
UM, I HAD, UH, FINISHED MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SURVEY DATA OR LAST FEW YEARS GOOD CONDUCT IS TO FIND OUT HOW OUR NUMBERS DROPPED.
I THINK A LOT OF THE FRICTION WAS CAUSED BY, UH, WHETHER OR NOT THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO RETURN.
UM, OR THE STAFF I BELIEVE GOES DOWN A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP.
AND, UM, AND SO WHAT I HAD IN FRONT OF GAVE ME A GREAT DEAL OF WILLINGNESS TO DO THE SURVEYS AND PROVIDE REAL SUBSTANCE, UM, AND THE COMMENTS, AND IT REALLY PROVIDED ME AN ACTION PLAN, RIGHT, AS I STEPPED ON ON DECK.
AND SO, UH, WE HAVE TAKEN THAT AND, UM, THAT MADE IMMENSE OF BRICK IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE SCHOOL THAT WE'VE NAVIGATED COVID FROM, I BELIEVE, UM, EXTREMELY WELL, UM, BOTH TO YOUR LAST SLIDE IN THIS SLIDE, I THINK, UM, TRANSITION THROUGH THAT, NOT VERY EFFECTIVE AS EFFECTIVELY AS YOU CAN.
UM, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE END OF THIS YEAR SURVEYS WILL REFLECT OF FAR BETTER CLIMATE FOR BOTH OUR PARENTS STUDENTS AND ESPECIALLY OUR STAFF.
[00:15:01]
UM, SO I, I FOCUSED A LOT OF TIME ON THAT PARTICULAR, UH, GOAL SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT'S AN AREA WHERE WE NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.IF YOU COULD MOVE TO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO ACADEMIC GOAL NUMBER TWO IS, IS THAT WE WILL ASSIST SOUTH CAROLINA REACHING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AS EVIDENCED BY RATINGS ON SOUTH CAROLINA EDUCATIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, SCHOOL REPORT CARDS.
UM, SO FIRST THING THERE'S NO LONGER, UH, THE TWO AREAS OF, UH, ABSOLUTE IMPROVEMENT RATINGS, WHICH IS THE ONE OVERALL RATING AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE.
UM, AND, UM, FOR THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR, UM, WE ADMINISTERED THE SE READINESS AND PASS TEST, BUT AGAIN, WE WERE NOT GIVEN THAT WORK AS WE HAD IN YEARS PAST.
SO AGAIN, ACADEMIC GOAL, NUMBER TWO, WE HAD TWO OBJECTIVES, UM, AND BOTH OF THOSE WERE AFFECTED BY THE LACK OF REPORT CARD.
NUMBER THREE IS THAT RIVERVIEW WILL EDUCATE THE WHOLE CHILD AND PREPARE STUDENTS TO BECOME PERSONALLY AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE ENGAGED CITIZENS.
SO THIS IS A FOCUS THROUGH, UM, THAT I BELIEVE IN WHEREVER HE DOES VERY WELL.
WE HAD FOUR OBJECTIVES THERE, EXCUSE ME, THREE OBJECTIVES.
UM, THE FIRST ONE WAS THAT ALL TEACHERS COMPLETED A SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SURVEY.
UM, 96.1% OF TEACHERS AGREED THAT THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAM HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE SCHOOL CLIMATE, AS WELL AS, AS WELL AS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
UM, WE WE'D CLOSED FOR A PERIOD.
STUDENTS WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THAT SURVEY, UM, FOR OBJECTIVE THREE TO, UH, VIRTUAL LEARNING CAUSED US TO, UM, DO BOTH HYBRID SCHEDULES LAST YEAR AND, UH, AND DIGITAL AS WELL.
UM, AND THAT, THAT THREE, TWO WAS OUR FITNESS GRAMS AND THE MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS.
SO WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN WAS THE ACTUAL FITNESS GRAMS AT THE BEGINNING YEAR.
WHAT DID HAPPEN IS INTERNAL TO THE CLASSROOM.
EACH ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS, UM, DID STUDENT PHYSICAL TESTS AND MEASURE PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE, SO WE'RE ABLE TO DO IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
LAST YEAR WE HAD MEASURE ON BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT DATA OBJECTIVE THREE, THREE, AND MET THAT GOAL.
AND, UH, OVERALL 80% OF STUDENTS IN GRADE ONE THROUGH EIGHT ARE NOTED AS, UM, WHO WERE NOTED AS AREAS OF CONCERN OR AREA OF DEVELOPMENT.
THEY WERE BY ONE, TWO OR THREE GRADE LEVELS.
UM, WE MET THAT MARK BY WHICH YOU, THAT MONITORED BY 10%, WE CAN MOVE THE ACADEMIC GOAL.
AND BEFORE FINAL ONE, UH, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE IS WHERE WE WILL PREPARE STUDENTS FOR A GLOBAL, BOTH OF THOSE GOALS THAT WE HAD.
WE HAD TO GET CREATIVE LAST YEAR TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
ONE OF THE, UM, THE, THE FIRST GOAL SINCE ITS INCEPTION, PART OF THE MISSION AGAIN, IS TO CREATE ENGAGED CITIZENS.
AND NOW WE DO THAT BY MINDFULLY IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES TO ENCOURAGE THESE ATTRIBUTES.
UM, WE HAVE MORNING MEETINGS AND ADVISORY VERSUS A MIDDLE SCHOOL EVERY DAY.
AND IN EVERY CLASSROOM, WE'RE TRYING TO CULTIVATE THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL DYNAMIC, UM, FOR OUR SPREAD PROJECT, WE'RE OBLIGATED TO DO A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT, UH, EACH YEAR OF THE SCHOOL LAST YEAR NOW, WITH THE CHALLENGES OF MOVING IN AND OUT OF VIRTUAL AND HYBRID, UH, WE WORKED WITH SELF-HELP, UM, AND WE, WE JUST, WE REALLY PLACED A HEFTY BALL ON THE SCHOOL, UM, TO TRY AND ENABLE OR TRY AND FILL OUR LOCAL FOOD BANKS.
UH, WE HAD A HUNDRED PERCENT PERCENT PARTICIPATION ACROSS OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF SPENT, UH, ONE OF THE NEEDS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED WAS ADULT CLOTHING, SO THAT THE STAFF FOCUSED ON THE DONATIONS OF NEW OR GENERALLY USED ADULT PLAN.
SO THAT'S HOW WE ACHIEVE THAT GOAL.
AGAIN, WE HAD TO BE SOMEWHAT CREATIVE.
UM, SO AS FAR AS THE ACADEMIC GOALS AND FOR OUR ANNUAL REPORT, I THINK, UM, UH, NEXT YEAR, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO, UM, PROCESSES DATA AND ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PROGRESSION IN OUR DATA.
I'D LIKE TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME ON THAT.
UM, I JUST DON'T HAVE THAT TREND OR THAT 0.1 SCHOOL YEAR.
WHAT I DID WANT TO FOCUS A LITTLE UPON TODAY, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, IS THAT I DID MAKE A COUPLE OF CHANGES OVER RIVERVIEW SINCE I'VE DONE THERE.
UM, I SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN THOSE FEW WEEKS, UM, MEETING ONE-ON-ONE WITH TEACHERS AND JUST GETTING FEEDBACK, UM, AND, UH, AND TRYING TO, AND FAMILIES AS WELL, AND TRYING TO GAIN A MEASURE OF WHAT DIRECTION WE NEED TO TAKE THE SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONALLY.
I MADE SOME CHANGES AND I WANTED TO FILL YOU IN ON THAT.
UM, AND THIS IS IT RIGHT THERE IN
[00:20:01]
FRONT OF YOU.UH, THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART, I HAVE, UM, MY EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT AND AN OPERATION MANAGER BY THE NAME OF ALYSSA BRIAN.
SHE SERVICES THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF THE SCHOOL.
UM, AND SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT IS SHE OVERSEES THE OFFICE MANAGEMENT AND OUR CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER.
UM, BUT WHAT I DID MORE, UM, DISTINCTLY WAS I BROKE OUT OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM, UM, INTO THREE CATEGORIES, WHEREVER YOU TRADITIONALLY OPERATED WITH AN INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER OR A CURRICULUM LEADER, UH, AS WELL AS AN ASSESSMENT LEADER IN THOSE SPECIAL SERVICE COORDINATOR.
UM, THERE WEREN'T NECESSARILY DEFINED BY GRADE LEVELS.
SO NOW, LIKE, UM, MS. FREEMAN IS MY, WAS BEHIND ME.
UM, SHE SERVES AS THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER, BUT SHE ALSO SERVED AS, FROM, AS A CYCLE.
WE HAVE REVENUE OPERATING THREE CYCLES, K2 THREE, FIVE, AND SIX EIGHT.
UM, SO MY I'M SORRY, ASSESSMENT.
SO MY INSTRUCTION HERE ALSO IS THE K2 CYCLE LEADER.
SHE OVERSEES ALL THE SUCCESSES AND FAILURES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SECOND GRADE MEANS JANET GAL.
SHE WAS HIRED THIS SUMMER, UM, THE CURRICULUM LEADER OF KAREN MILLER.
UH, SHE SERVES AS THE CYCLE LEAD FOR THREE-FIVE.
UM, AND SHE WAS ALSO HIRED THIS SUMMER AND THE ASSESSMENT LEADER, SARAH .
UM, SHE WAS A PSYCH MAJOR SIX WEEKS AND THEN APA MARKER, UH, SERVICES, ANY OF OUR SPECIAL SERVICES.
SO SHE'S COORDINATING ALL OF OUR ITI RTI EFFORTS AND OUR LEARNING SPECIALISTS.
SO NOT A FAR CRY FROM WHERE WE WERE BEFORE.
I BELIEVE IT JUST PROVIDED A LITTLE BIT OF STRUCTURE TO OUR SCHOOL.
AND, UH, AND THAT'S HOW SO WITH OUR STAFF, WE ARE 82, UM, ON HAND FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.
AND THEN WE ALSO CARRY A, UM, A EARLY MURPHY, EXCUSE ME, EARLY AND LATE CARE.
UM, THAT'S A LITTLE MORE DYNAMIC.
UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF PROGRAMS, A LOT OF ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS. UH, WE HAVE A STAFF THERE FIVE TO SEVEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND THEN WE HAVE A THIRD PARTY, UM, UM, THIRD PARTY CUSTODIAL CREW.
SO WE'RE AT ABOUT 97, UM, IN THE BUILDING AND 12% OF THOSE OUT OF OUR TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES, AS FAR AS TEACHERS ARE CONCERNED, 12% ON ALL CERTIFIED NEXT SLIDE, AS FAR AS OUR FINANCIALS ARE CONCERNED, WHAT'S THAT ANNUAL REPORT CAN ALL OF THE FINANCIAL DATA.
UM, WHAT I DID WANT TO, UM, ALL OF THAT IS, IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
WHAT I WANTED TO FOCUS ON WAS OUR AUDITS SPECIFICALLY, UM, OUR DATA AND OUR BUDGET, WE WERE ON A TYPICAL YEAR WORKS, HAS BEEN GROWING JUST A LITTLE UNDER AN $8 MILLION BUDGET ANNUALLY.
UM, AND, UM, JUST RECENTLY WE COMPLETED OUR FUND, OUR LAST AUDIT AND WHAT ALL I WANTED TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU TODAY, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SLIDE IS WE HAD NO FINDINGS OR OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NOR DID WE HAVE ANY FINDINGS FOR COMPLIANCE ISSUES.
WE WORK WITH A THIRD PARTY, A BOOKKEEPER, UM, THAT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
UM, IT WAS, UH, WAS THAT ODD DYNAMIC TO ME WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO THE SCHOOL BECAUSE I'M USED TO HAVING THAT IN THE HOUSE.
UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE AS ANNOTATED BY THE, UM, BY THE RELEASE OF OUR AUDIT GUIDE.
FINALLY, OUR BOARD COMPLIANCE IS ONE LAST PORTION OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT.
SO WE RUN 11 BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL, UM, OUT OF THOSE, UM, WE ARE OBLIGATED TO MAINTAIN A PORTION OF THAT THAT ARE BOTH EDUCATORS, UM, AND FROM LOCAL BUSINESS.
AND, UM, AND SO WE'VE MET THAT REQUIREMENT.
WE JUST RECENTLY MADE SOME CHANGES TO OUR WARD BYLAWS, WHICH I NEED, I WILL GET THOSE TO YOU IF SHE ASKS ME FOR A DOCUMENT AND I SENT OVER THAT.
UM, SO WE, THEY JUST CHANGED SOME OF OUR BYLAWS.
WHAT IT DOES IS IT NECESS A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE ESC CHARTER LAWS THAT ALLOW CHARTER SCHOOLS TO A POINT UP TO 50%, BUT THERE WERE SO THE, UM, THE BYLAW ALLOWED FOR THE BOARD TO, UH, THIS YEAR, FOR INSTANCE, SIX MEMBERS TO BE ELECTED.
THREE OF THOSE WERE ELECTED ELECTED BY POPULAR VOTE.
AND THEN THE OTHER THREE, UH, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WHAT IT DOES IS I BELIEVE IT ALLOWS US TO MAINE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR ALLEGATION THAT WILL BOARD STAFF BY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF EDUCATORS, CERTAIN NUMBER OF FINANCES FOR BUSINESS.
AND, UM, AND THAT PROVED, PROVED THE FACT THAT FOR THE FIRST YEAR THAT YOU'VE DONE THAT AGAIN, 11 ALL OF THEIR INFORMATION AND DATA IS CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED OR NEW MEMBERS, UM, AND ALL OF OUR OIL REQUIREMENTS, ALL OF OUR MEETINGS AND MINUTES OR POSTED ON OUR REVIEW.ORG OR RECHARGED SCHOOL.ORG WEBSITE RIGHT NOW, UM, TOWARDS THE TAIL END OF LAST YEAR.
AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN A RESULT OF COVID I'M
[00:25:01]
SURE.UH, BUT WE ONLY INTERACTED WITH OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE OUR, UM, ANNUAL RETREAT COMING UP IN FEBRUARY.
WE'LL ESTABLISH, UM, AND I'M A PROPONENT OF SOME ADDITION COMMITTEE, A FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND SEVERAL OTHERS, ET CETERA.
SO WE ONLY HAVE ONE ACTIVE, UM, I INTEND TO ASK THE BOARD TO PUT TOGETHER SOME MORE.
HERE'S A LIST OF OUR CURRENT BOARD HAS RECENTLY ELECTED AND APPOINTED.
MS. LEE COPELAND IS SERVING AS A BOARD SECRETARY THAT WE JUST SAID OUR ELECTION OF OFFICERS IN JANUARY AND OUR FIRST MEETING, UH, VINCENT BRENNAN LAMAR CORE SERVES AS OUR TREASURER, MS. KIMBERLY DUDAS, UH, NEWLY ELECTED MR. BRANDON MAJOR, UH, RESOURCE OFFICERS AS OUR CHAIR ELECTED AGAIN, JANUARY JONATHAN SULLIVAN, NEWLY ELECTED MS. CAROLYN SMALLS, JENKINS, LAUREN KELLY, TREY RIVERS, AND MJ SIMMONS.
WHO'S RECENTLY APPOINTED AS OUR VICE CHAIR.
ALL OF THEIR EMAILS ARE LISTED ON THE, ON BOARD WITH THAT.
UM, I HOPE TO USE THIS TIME TO BE ABLE TO COME THROUGH BEFORE ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT OUR LITTLE SCHOOL.
AGAIN, I, IF NOT, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT IT'S BEEN DRAINED FROM THE SUPPORT THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN AS BUFORD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON CHARTER, SEVERAL OF YOU VISIT THE SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER.
AND I GOT TO KNOW YOU, AND AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR FEELING SUPPORTIVE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT CHARTERS AND DISTRICTS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR VERY INFORMATIVE.
I'D LIKE TO FOCUS A LITTLE BIT ON THE FINANCIALS AND I UNDERSTAND IT.
CAN YOU PAY THE DISTRICT A RENT OR YOUR FACILITY, IS THAT CORRECT? WE DO.
IN FACT, MS. CROSBY HAS SPENT A GREAT DEAL, DONALD FORMALLY ON HOW THAT CAME TO PASS.
UM, THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT DONE A FEW YEARS AGO.
THERE WAS AN ADDITION ADDED WHEN YOU'RE, RECHARTERED THROUGH FROM K FIVE OVER TO SIX EIGHT.
AND, UH, THE ADDITION, UM, OVER ON OUR CAMPUS WAS BUILT, I BELIEVE AS A $5 MILLION PROJECT, JUST SO, UM, AND WITH THAT CAME AN AGREEMENT THAT, THAT, UH, OBLIGATED US TO 30 YEAR CONTRACT RIGHT AROUND $50,000 A MONTH.
UM, SO THAT'S, UM, YES, YES, THAT'S, THAT'S COMPLETELY ACCURATE.
UM, WELL WE GET THE USE OF THE FACILITIES.
UM, WE GET, UM, UH, SOME REALLY INCREDIBLE, UM, MAINTENANCE, UH, THROUGH MEMBERS THAT ARE, UM, ALSO IS IN OUR BOOK AND, UM, THE USE OF THE FACILITY, THE REPAYMENT OF THE ADDITION, I UNDERSTAND THAT AS A PART OF THAT, YOU'D LIKE TO BUY, TO NOT BRING THAT AGREEMENT WITH ME.
WE SAT DOWN TO DISCUSS, UH, THOSE FUNDS GO IN A RESERVE AND A SPECIFIC, UH, BASICALLY A CAPITAL PROJECTS DONE WITHIN THE DISTRICTS, UH, ACCOUNTS AND ARE ON RESERVE FOR MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHEN AVAILABLE TO RIVERVIEW TO ACCESS OR UP TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $4 MILLION.
I THINK OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME WE'VE BEEN UNDER THAT AGREEMENT.
I THINK ABOUT A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF HAS BEEN SPENT ON MAJOR RENOVATIONS.
UH, THERE'S SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENT THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
MINOR MAINTENANCE REPAIRS ARE PAID FOR BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT, UH, SO THE RENT IS NOT INCOME TO THE DISTRICT.
IT'S IN A RESERVE FUND AVAILABLE RE-PERFUSION CAPITALISM.
AND WHAT FUTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS DO YOU SEE? UM, AGAIN, I'M GRATEFUL YOU'RE HERE.
MY UNDERSTANDING OF A REFERENDUM THAT WAS FAST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, OR WHERE YOU HAD SOME PLANS FOR A, UM, A ATHLETIC COMPLEX, AS WELL AS A NEW GYM AND SOME OFFICE SPACE OR THAT LINKED OUR, UM, ELEMENTARY SITES TO OUR, UM, MIDDLE SCHOOL SIDE.
AND, UM, AND SO BETWEEN THE ATHLETICS AND THE ADDITION OF THE OFFICE SPACE AND BORDER AND GYM, UM, WE'D LIKE TO LEAN IN THAT DIRECTION.
UM, SO THAT IS FAR SURPASSES WHAT WE WERE ASKING FOR THROUGH THE REFERENDUM, BUT ENSURE WHERE MY GOAL IS TO BEGIN WORKING BACKWARDS FROM THAT.
AND, UH, AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS BEGIN WORKING ON OUR, ON OUR CAMPUS.
WE'VE, WE'VE, UM, WE'VE GONE FROM A THREE SPORT SCHOOL TO NOW WE'VE INCORPORATED.
[00:30:01]
UM, YOU'RE GONNA BAIL BUILD OUT HERE BECAUSE WE'VE REALLY GROWN.OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAM WAS LACKING.
THE FAMILY SAID THAT THEY WANTED MORE.
UM, AND SO WE'VE, WE HAD SOCCER AND BASKETBALL AND I BELIEVE CROSS COUNTRY.
UH, NOW WE HAVE VOLLEYBALL, UH, WE'VE INCORPORATED SPORTING CLAYS AND GOLF IS, IS, IS STARTING IN SPRING.
AND THEN WE HAVE A HUGE POPULATION OF OUR SCHOOL THAT WOULD LIKE US TO DO BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL.
AND SO WE WANT TO INCORPORATE THOSE THINGS, BUT, UH, IN MY EFFORTS TO WORK BACKWARDS FROM THAT REFERENDUM PLAN IS FIRST TO START WITH THE DEALS.
SO THIS SUMMER, FOR INSTANCE, THE DISTRICT UP TO, WE HAD OPIATES, SOME TREES FALL ON SOME OF OUR FENCES AND WHATNOT, AND WE WANT TO START THERE.
WE WANT TO START THERE BY GETTING OUR ATHLETIC COMPLEX.
WE DON'T HAVE A FIELD AND THAT, THAT HAS OUR ATHLETICS PROGRAM KIND OF SUFFERING.
SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY SEEKING, UM, OTHER RESOURCES.
WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.
WE PARTNER WITH OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS TO FIND HOME CAMPS, BUT IT PRECLUDES US FROM GAINING A INCOME FROM OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAM.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S WHERE I'D LIKE TO START, IS WORKING BACKWARDS FROM A LARGER NUMBER, WHICH WOULD BE THE ADDITION OF THE GYM.
OUR GYM FACILITY PROGRAM WAS THE ORIGINAL, UH, FROM WHEN IT WAS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THE ROOF IS NOT TO ANY SPORTS STANDARDS, SO WE CAN'T POST VOLLEYBALL.
WE CAN'T HOST ANYTHING HERE AND IT REALLY PRECLUDES US FROM, UM, OR THE MATTER OF POPULATIONS JUST UNDER 700.
SO ANYTHING, ANY SCHOOL WIDE EVENT WE'LL PROBABLY OPPORTUNITY IS REALLY BACK IN, OR REALLY, WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS IS THAT THIS IS OUR SCHOOL AND WE HAD A REFERENDUM TO PROVIDE EQUITY ACROSS OUR DISTRICT AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT THIS SCHOOL SHOULD BE ON PAR WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT ROBERT SMALLS AND WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT RIVER RIDGE.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT IS NOT AT THAT SAME LEVEL.
WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
WE HAVE MANY ISSUES OF EQUITY ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO ADDRESS.
UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY.
I CAN GO BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER 27 AND IT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR STUDENT POPULATION.
SO THAT AGAIN, IF I CALL FEBRUARY, 2019 IS WHEN YOUR TENURE PARTNER WAS APPROVED AND AT THAT TIME AND HELPED ME HERE.
BUT AT THAT TIME, I DO BELIEVE YOU CHANGED SOMETHING WITHIN THE CHARTER THAT STATED A STUDENT THAT WAS NOT CURRENTLY ENROLLED EVER YOUR CHARTER BY JANUARY, UM, THEIR SIXTH GRADE YEAR THERE'LL BE NO, OR ADMITTANCE, IS THAT CORRECT? SO LOOKING AT YOUR NUMBERS, AND AS I SAY THAT YOU'RE A NUMBERS AND SPRAY SEVEN OF 20, 20, 20, 21 WAS 67.
AND THEN IF YOU MOVE THAT, THOSE ARE NOT YOUR CURRENT EIGHTH GRADERS.
SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 67 DOWN TO 62.
IS THAT, AM I READING THAT CORRECTLY? SO 20, 20, 20, 21, GRAY 7 67.
SO THEREFORE YOUR EIGHTH GRADE YEAR WOULD BE 20 21, 20 22.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'D BE THE SAME COHORT.
SO THAT IS JUST A MANIFESTATION OF THIS CHANGE IN YOUR CHARTER.
SO MY BASIC QUESTION IS THIS, YOU'VE LIVED THIS MAP FOR TWO TO THREE YEARS.
IS THERE ANY MOMENTUM TO GO BACK TO HAVING A UP TO 20 FOR CLASS OR YOUR UPPER GRADE LEVEL? SO THAT AS YOU'VE BEEN STAYING HERE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT AP AND EVERY OTHER ONE, AND NOW YOU'RE DOWN TO 62 AND GRADE EIGHT.
SO IN MY UNIT, I DO I'M WITH YOU.
SO AT THIS TIME, NOT THAT I'VE ADDRESSED, UM, I WILL SAY THAT, UM, FROM APRIL OF LAST YEAR, UNTIL WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW, IT HAS BEEN CONSTANT ASSESSMENT FOR ME ACROSS THE ENTIRETY OF THE EDUCATIONAL DYNAMIC.
DOES ONE, YOU KNOW, TO INCLUDE BEHAVIORS, ASKING THE WHY'S, WHY WE LANDED THERE.
WELL, I'M NOT, I'M NOT IN A POSITION WHERE I DON'T THINK THE BOARD'S IN A POSITION RIGHT NOW WHERE WE, UM, WE'VE TACKLED THAT WITH, WE WILL, UM, ENTER INTO A BOARD RETREAT AND WE'LL REVIEW ALL OF OUR KIND OF SIGNATURE
[00:35:01]
PIECES TO OUR, UM, CONTRACTS AND TO OUR CHARTER.UM, I'M, I'M NOT RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT REALLY ON MY RADAR.
UM, TO ENTERTAIN THAT I'VE GOTTEN A SERIES OF LINES IS WHY WE GOT HERE WITH RESPECT TO, UM, THE DIFFERENCE IN THE, UM, THE CONTINUUM AT RIVER VIEW AND WHY WE MAY NOT WANT TO TAKE ON A NEW STUDENT IN GRADE SEVEN OR EIGHT SECONDS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE HAD AN EFFECTIVE EVALUATION, NOT TO LOOK AT ANY OF THAT, JUST BECAUSE I MEAN, COMING IN AT THE TAIL END OF A YEAR, AND IT WAS PROBABLY ROCKY.
AND THEN BEGINNING OF YEAR, WE'RE FOCUSED REALLY ON, UM, THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL DYNAMIC OF THE SCHOOL AND RECRUITMENT AND PAUSE TIME.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S KIND OF , I DO UNDERSTAND THAT BEING AN ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT WAS CONTENTIOUS FOR, IT MAY HAVE BEEN, I MEAN, AS FAR AS FOR SCHOOL.
AND I'M NOT, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY CONTENTION ABOUT IT.
JUST A QUESTION THAT I'VE JUST, SO IF YOU'RE DOWN 18 FOR GRADE EIGHT AND FIVE OR GRADE SEVEN, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, 23, I JUST WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF HAVING THAT MANY STUDENTS.
SO YOU JUST, JUST, I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW IT'S WORKING OUT FOR YOU TO HAVE A PROFESSOR FINANCIALS.
WELL, IT CLEARLY AFFECTS OUR FINANCIALS.
I MEAN, WE ARE A PER STUDENT SCHOOL AND, UM, AND JUST FOR EASY NUMBERS, I MEAN, NOT THAT 18 THAT IS LOST IN THE GRADE LEVEL IS AROUND ABOUT $18,000.
SO THAT'S AROUND ABOUT $18,000.
SO IT'S DEFINITELY THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCHEDULE SCALE IS SIGNIFICANT.
BUT AGAIN, OTHERWISE I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF, I UNDERSTAND.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY.
I MOVED AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED THE 2021 CHARTER SCHOOL WITH ANNUAL REPORTS LIKE INGRID.
OUR NEXT PROGRAMS ON TECHNOLOGY AND STROLLER, YOU MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, I'M APPRECIATIVE OF THE TECHNOLOGY CAN BE ASKING THAT WE PRESENTED ITSELF FOR HOW WE ARE INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAMS. UH, AS I MENTIONED TO THE COMMITTEE, WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF MR. SHOW ON IT'S BECCA BARSKY AND THEIR TEAM.
HE WAS SURE HALF THE TIME I WAS WITH ME TODAY AS WELL, WE WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEIR, THEIR GROUP.
UM, THEY ARE GREAT TO, TO BRAINSTORM WITH AND THEY PROVIDE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OUR SCHOOLS, UH, GIVEN THE SCOPE OF OUR HARDWARE TO SOFTWARE THAT WE USE.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK IS RIGHT.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT THAT YOU MADE AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND TALK HERE ABOUT THAT EDUCATION.
YOU REALLY DON'T THE MAJORLY IMPACT BY THE TECHNOLOGY.
SO THIS IS TO LOOK AT WHERE ARE WE AT? AND THEN IN STARTING THAT CONVERSATION OF WHAT, WHAT DO WE FEEL LIKE THE NEEDS ARE FOR TECHNOLOGY, NOT JUST A CAREER TICKET, BUT REALLY K-12 OVERALL.
SO IF YOU PULL TECHNOLOGY OUT SEPARATE FROM EDUCATION, VISIT INDUSTRY, IT'S MIND BOGGLING TO THINK OF THE RAPID PROGRESSION OF HOW POWERFUL OUR MACHINES ARE OF THE SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCED,
[00:40:01]
NOT ONLY FOR PRODUCTIVITY, BUT FOR CONNECTIVITY, IT REALLY IS, OR HAS ALREADY SHAPED OUR HUMAN EXPERIENCE.WE CAN BE HERE AND WE CAN CONVERSE WITH SOMEONE ACROSS THE WORLD.
AND THERE'S AN EXCELLENT CHART FROM THE IZZY FOUNDATION ON, IN JUST THE 1990S, WE WERE LOOKING AT HOW CAN WE LEARN ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGIES? AND THEN IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS, WE WERE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE USE TECHNOLOGY TO LEARN? AND THEN NOW MOVING FORWARD, HOW ARE WE USING TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORM OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESSES? THE HIGH POINTS IN OUR WORLD, TOO.
WE'RE ALWAYS ASKING WHAT ARE OUR CUSTOMERS, WHAT ARE THEIR NEEDS? AND IT MAKES SENSE, WHAT, WHAT DO OUR GRADUATES NAME OR TO OPERATE IN THE DIGITAL WORLD EFFECTIVELY? SO FROM OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, AS FAR AS HOW STUDENTS ARE USING SOFTWARE AND HAD BEEN SOCIAL INTERACTIONS, HOW OUR MILITARY UTILIZE THE TECHNOLOGY, BECAUSE THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CUTTING EDGE.
AND THEN FROM OUR EMPLOYERS, FOR EXAMPLE, HEALTHCARE LAW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD, UM, THERE'S NANO CHIPS NOW THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED THAT GO IN AND SCAN THAT CAN, UH, HELP MONITOR YOUR DIABETES, THAT CAN DETECT DISEASES WHO IS BEING TRAINED TO FIRST OF ALL, PRODUCE AND DEVELOP THOSE TO MONITOR THOSE AND HANDLE THE DATA COMMUNICATIONS THAT THAT GOES ALONG WITH JUST HEALTH INFORMATICS, UM, ROBOTIC SURGERIES.
UM, I WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE TO PARTICIPATE LAST.
UH, YESTERDAY WAS THE JOHN OF TOOL AND CHARLIE STONE, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.
THEY HAD AN EXCELLENT EVENT CALLED CONVERGE AND IT REALLY SOLIDIFIED WHAT THE NEEDS ARE FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, AS FAR AS TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, NEXT SLIDE.
SO WE WANT TO SET A BASELINE FIRST.
IF WE WERE TO WALK INTO CAREER TICKET CLASSROOMS, SHOP AREAS, UH, LAB, WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE NOW? AND REALLY K-12 AS WELL AS OUR CAREER CENTER.
AND WHAT SHOULD THAT LOOK LIKE IF YOU LIVE IN FORD? SO ARE YOU GOING TO SEE TRADITIONAL COMPUTER LABS, TRADITIONAL COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS IN A ROW? ARE YOU GOING TO SEE SOME STEM LABS WHERE THEY'RE LEARNING ENGINEERING? ARE YOU GOING TO SEE GAMING? UH, NOT JUST THE E-SPORTS MANIPULATE, UH, SOFTWARE, UH, BUT ARE, WILL WE SEE KIDS DESIGNING THE AVATARS AND THE ANIMATION THAT'S REQUIRED TO BUILD THESE GAMES? WILL YOU SEE STUDENTS USING TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM PROBLEM BASED? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? SO KEEP THE SLIDE IN LINE AS MS. BOARD.
SO WE THOUGHT IT'D BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME COMMON DEFINITIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY MOVING TARGETS AS WE BEGAN TO HARNESS WHERE WE WANT TO GO WITH THIS.
SO JUST TO HIT ON A FEW COMPUTER LITERACY IS AT THE BASIC LEVEL IS THE SOFTWARE WE'RE USING FULL BOARD DOCS AND MICROSOFT WORD, POWERFUL ON SPREADSHEETS.
HOW ARE YOU USING THAT IN THE CLASSROOM FOR LEARNING DIGITAL LITERACY, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION OUT THERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.
ARE WE HELPING OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN HOW TO DISCERN INFORMATION WHEN THEY GO ONTO THE WEB, THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO DRILL DOWN AND GET THERE, THEY APPROACH CORRECT INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE NEEDING FOR RESEARCH DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.
IS IT ON K-12 TWO, IF WE'RE GIVING THEM THE TOOLS, DO WE ALSO NEED TO HELP THEM BE RESPONSIBLE? VIEWS ARE SOMETHING THAT I EAT, CYBER BULLYING AND THEN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY GETS IN THE CAREER TO GET WORLD AS WELL AS MR. SHOW MODERN WORLD.
HOW ARE WE TRAINING THOSE WHO WANT TO NETWORK ENGINEERS THAT KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH BANDWIDTH AND CONNECTIVITY, WIFI, AND THEN YOU TAKE ALL OF THIS AND YOU PUT IT UNDER COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE IS ACTUALLY A DISCIPLINE.
IT'S A, HOW ARE WE HELPING STUDENTS TO START THINKING CRITICALLY AND TO USE THAT TYPE OF COMPUTATIONAL THINKING CENTERED AROUND MATH.
SO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ALONG THOSE LINES IN 2017 AND 18, THEY DEVELOPED AND RELEASED TWO DOCUMENTS, ONE FOR K EIGHT AND ONE FOR NINE 12.
AND IT'S REALLY STARTED TO LOOK AT THE STANDARDS AND HOW WE INTEGRATE THEM WITHIN OUR, OUR VARIOUS CONTENT AREAS.
IT'S CENTERED AROUND FIVE MAJOR STRANDS.
UH, IF YOU SEE THOSE LISTED THERE TO INCLUDE DATA ANALYSIS AND ALGORITHMS AND PROGRAMMING AND IMPACT OF COMPUTING AND FOR THE K EIGHT, THERE'S THAT IT'S DIGITAL LITERACY.
AND BASICALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE STANDARDS IS AROUND PROBLEM SOLVING, HOW DO WE TAKE CERTAIN TECHNOLOGIES AND INCORPORATE INTO AN ENGLISH MATH, SCIENCE CLASS? IT'S A,
[00:45:01]
YOU JUST IN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND IS HEAVY INTO MATHEMATICAL LITERACIES.SO AGAIN, IF WE'RE HELPING OUR STUDENTS TO BE PROFICIENT AT MATH, AND THAT'S GOING TO ALSO START TO LEAD A NEED WITHIN COMPUTER SCIENCE, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
SO THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT FROM BRIGHT SIX.
THIS HAPPENS TO BE ON DIGITAL LITERACY.
YOU EAT, EVERYONE HAS ACCESS, EASY ACCESS TO THIS ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT WEBSITE, THE TWO DOCUMENTS.
THIS ONE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A NON 12 FOR ALGORITHMS. IF YOU'LL NOTICE IT'S THE IS BIAS, FOUR LEVELS OF PROFICIENCY, AND THAT IS FOR EACH OF THOSE FIVE STRANDS.
SO WHEN THE STATE RELEASED THESE COMPUTER SCIENCE STANDARDS, THEY DIDN'T PUT FORTH MANDATES YET.
THAT IS COMING OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
THEY ARE LOOKING AT PULLING THESE STANDARDS INTO A K-12 COMPUTER SCIENCE FRAMEWORK BASED OFF OF BANK NATIONAL FRAMEWORK.
SO WE'VE LOOKED TO SEE A WAR COMING FROM THE STATE AS TO HOW ARE WE INCORPORATING THAT WAS IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WHAT IT DID COME OUT OF THIS VANTAGE WERE THE CHANGE IN HOW WE, UH, HAVE COMPUTER SCIENCE, GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS, MICROSOFT WORD USED TO COUNT KEYBOARDING.
AND NOW YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU HAVE LISTS IN THE NEXT SLIDE.
SO THIS IS A LIST OF, FOR EVERY STUDENT WHO GRADUATES FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THEY MUST EARN ONE CARNEGIE UNIT OF A COMPUTER SCIENCE CREDIT.
AND IT HAS TO BE FROM THE APPROVED LIST.
AND I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, WHAT WE OFFER ACROSS OUR DISTRICT IN VARIOUS FORMATS HERE IN BUFORD COUNTY.
SOMETHING ELSE TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU LOOK AT FOR THINKING, IN ORDER TO INSTRUCT THESE COURSES, WE HAVE TO HAVE CERTIFIED TEACHERS, A TEACHER CAN ADD IT THROUGH COURSEWORK AND THOSE FIVE STRANDS, OR THEY CAN TAKE THE PRACTICES.
SO IF I'M A MATH TEACHER, SCIENCE TEACHER, AND I WANT TO ADD COMPUTER SCIENCE ENDORSEMENT, I CAN DO IT THAT WAY.
OR IF YOU'RE TEACHING ONE OF THOSE THREE INTRODUCTORIES OR CS COURSES, YOU CAN TAKE THAT APPROVE 30 HOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE 24 TEACHERS UNDER THE CAREER TICKET UMBRELLA THAT MEET THIS CRITERIA.
THERE MAY BE OTHER TEACHERS THAT'S NOT CTE, BUT WE KNOW OF 24 CURRENTLY.
SO CURRENTLY, WHAT ARE WE DOING? THAT'S MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT TO MEET IT AS WELL AS COMPUTER SCIENCE.
SO THE FIRST THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE OFFERING 90 COURSES.
WE HAVE, UH, EXCELLENT STUDENT ENROLLMENT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 3,401 STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN OR ENROLLMENTS FOR IT RELATED COURSES ACROSS OUR DISTRICT.
AS A RESULT OF THAT, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE UTILIZE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS THAT I HELPED TO BUDGET FOR IN COLLABORATION WITH FINANCE, THAT ALSO GOES TO A SAFE LEVEL FOR COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE THAT NEED AUTO, UH, AUTO CAD, UH, RIVETS, UH, FOR ENGINEER THAT WANT TO DO THE DESIGN WORK FOR ADOBE PRODUCTS.
AND THEY WANTED TO DREAM WEAVER, INDESIGN PHOTOSHOP.
THOSE ARE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS THAT TYPICALLY DO NOT RUN WELL ON THE ONE-TO-ONE DEVICES.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGY IN PLACE FOR THE STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT.
ANOTHER POSITIVE AREA IS THAT WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE GRADUATING WE'RE IMPACTING GRADUATION RATE BY MEETING THAT COMPUTER SCIENCE GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 2,235 ENROLLMENTS, AND ONE MORE OF THOSE COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO OFFERING IT PATHWAYS.
WE HAVE FOUR NOW IN THE DISTRICT THAT WE OFFER FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AND WORK THROUGH A PROGRESSION OF COURSES THAT THEY TRULY WANT TO MOVE INTO SOME TYPE OF OXY RELATED PATHWAY, AS WELL AS TO OBTAIN INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATIONS.
IS THERE ROOM FOR OPPORTUNITY? YES.
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE OF IT, WHAT CAN HELP TO INCREASE THAT ANOTHER POSITIVE AREA THAT APPRECIATE THIS THROUGHOUT THE TIES HERE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IS THAT WE ARE AT PROJECT LEAD THE WAY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, PROJECT LEAD THE WAY, UH, SPEAKS TO THOSE COMPUTER SCIENCE STANDARDS OF PROBLEM SOLVING CRITICAL THINKING.
THERE'S MILITARY WAS AN EXCELLENT PERSON, A TEACHER WHEN SHE WORKED WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GATEWAY PROGRAMS AS WELL.
THERE'S A GREAT COURSE CALLED INNOVATORS AND MAKERS.
WE ALSO OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO TAKE, TO OFFER DIGITAL LITERACY COURSES, WHICH AGAIN GOES BACK TO THE COMPUTER
[00:50:01]
SCIENCE STANDARDS.AND THEN LASTLY, ANOTHER WAY WE'RE POSITIVELY IMPACTING IS THROUGH ROBOTICS.
VEX ROBOTICS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CODING AND PROGRAMMING, THAT EVER FUN, ENGAGING WAY THAT ACTUALLY TO A PICTURE OF THE RIVER RIDGE ACADEMY, UH, VEX ROBOTICS TEAM THIS YEAR COMPETING AND A SHOUT OUT TO THEIR TEACHER, MR. ERIC LOWMAN.
UH, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO START FROM GROUND ZERO.
WE'VE GOT SOME GOOD PHONES THERE.
SO WHERE DO WE GO MOVING FORWARD AS FAR AS THE FUTURE? WELL, OVER THE NEXT FIVE TO 10 YEARS, AND FOR FUTURE CONVERSATIONS, OBVIOUSLY LOOKING AT WORKING WITH THIS DRAWING AND, AND WORKING THROUGH REFERENDUM, UM, OUR K-12 AS WELL AS OUR CAREER CENTER AND WHAT TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE USED IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THESE FIVE KEY AREAS, UH, INTRODUCED HIGH SCHOOLS TO EMERGING OCCUPATIONS THAT DEVELOPED WITHIN OUR FOUR COUNTY REGION, SUCH AS CYBER SECURITIES, AUTO INTELLIGENCE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND AUTOMATION.
AGAIN, I WAS PLEASED TO HEAR AT THE KEY, ONE OF THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS YESTERDAY AT THE CONVERGE EVENT, UH, HE WAS A RETIRED CEO WITH A BMW SPOT ON.
HE MENTIONED ALL THREE OF THOSE KEY AREAS THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR OUR BUSINESS INDUSTRY ACROSS ALL DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONS.
OBVIOUSLY HELPING OUR STUDENTS TO KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN OUR EXISTING WORKFORCE, PARTICULARLY WITHIN HEALTHCARE AND TRADES RELATED.
WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT HOW DO WE HELP OUR STUDENTS TO TAKE OF THE MANAGEMENT, THE INTERNET OF THINGS AND DATA MANAGEMENT WITHIN OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS ACROSS ALL OF OUR PATHWAYS.
WE, WE NEED TO INCREASE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE STUDENTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO AUTISM PATHWAYS FROM ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL SO THEY CAN ADD AN EIGHT PLUS A C PLUS NETWORK, PLUS FUTURE CONSTRUCT, CYBER SECURITY PLUS EXAMINATIONS, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S FAIR AND CONSISTENT ACROSS OUR DISTRICT FOR THAT.
AND THEN WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO ASSIST MORE STUDENTS TO SUCCESS WITH TRANSITION AND THE POST-SECONDARY.
THERE'S SOME EXCELLENT CERTIFICATES THAT THEY CAN TAKE THIS IC RELATED AT TCL, AND THEN EVEN PARLAYED THAT INTO THE COMPUTER SCIENCE INITIATIVE WITH YOU AT CB.
SO COLONEL GUARD, OUR TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE THAT YOU HAD AN EXCELLENT POINT, AND WE NOTED HOW DO WE LOOK AT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAKE THESE NEEDS? SO I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS.
SO THE FIRST ONE IS CYBER SECURITY.
IF WE'RE LOOKING AT DESIGNING SPACES SO THAT STUDENTS ARE INTRODUCED TO CYBER SECURITY, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, SOME MAJOR LEADERS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE FOR CANADA TO BE A HUB FOR CYBER SECURITY.
WHY NOT US? THERE'S A CYBER SUMMIT ACTUALLY, IT'S COMING UP NEXT NEXT MONTH.
SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, AND THERE'S FEDERAL AND ECONOMIC POLICY INITIATIVES, THAT'S TAKING PLACE AS WELL.
SO PROVIDES A LEARNING SPACES.
THAT'S FIRST OF ALL, SAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR STUDENTS TO INTROVERT.
WE'VE TAKEN DOWN THE SCHOOLS NETWORK OR THE HOSPITAL'S NETWORK OR A CAUSE THAT THAT COULD BE VERY POSSIBLE.
SO WHAT DOES A, UH, INTERNAL LEARNING SPACE LOOK LIKE SO THAT THEY CAN DO THESE PATRIOT COMPETITIONS OR THAT THEY CAN USE SOME TYPE OF SIMULATIONS TO WHERE THERE'S A THREAT OF A FICTITIOUS DIGITAL COMPANY AND HOW THEY CAN GO IN AND THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO STOP THIS THREAT WITHOUT, UH, HURTING OUR OWN SERVERS.
ANOTHER AREA TO CONSIDER IT AS FAR AS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE ELECTRICAL, A WIPEOUT, WHERE THE BANDWIDTH IS FOR TO SUPPORT A SIMULATORS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS AN INDUSTRY, IF USE SIMULATORS, MILITARY FOR AWHILE, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO BE A PILOT.
YOU SIT IN ON A PALLET SIMULATOR, UH, VERY, UH, ROBUST, EXPENSIVE SIMULATOR, BUT YOU'RE, YOU'RE DOING THAT BEFORE.
YOU'RE GOING TO UTILIZE WILL TELL ME, TAKE ME ON TECHNOLOGY FIRST.
IT'S A WAY TO TRAIN FOLKS IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT, VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATIONS.
IT ACTUALLY TAKES A STEP FURTHER WITH THE USE OF HEADSETS SO THAT THEIR FIELD OF VISION THEY'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE A REAL SCENARIO SUCH AS IN HEALTHCARE, UH, AND THEN MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AS I WORKED THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SKILLSETS.
SO YOU HAD, OR DECIDED TO DOABLE, UH, THAT IS A PICTURE OF OUR LITTLE RANCH
[00:55:01]
EARLY COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TOOK A LARGE TRANSPORT TRUCK AND THEY CONVERTED IT INTO A VOGEL SIMULATOR.THEY HAD OVER 17 AND THEY WERE ABLE TO, UM, AS SOON AS YOU SIT DOWN AND OPERATE A CRANE OR A FORKLIFT, OR ACTUALLY DRIVE A TRUCK, UH, OUR REAPER JASPER AES, THEY USE THE SAME TRUCK AT THE BEGINNING FOR THEIR KICKOFF OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
SO IT'S VERY DOABLE BUSINESS INDUSTRY ARE SUPPORTING, UM, EDUCATION IN THAT SENSE.
SO WHAT, UH, SO THERE'S MODELS OUT THERE FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT ON THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
NOW, WHEN I HEAR THIS, I THINK FUTURISTIC, DO YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE, WE'RE DEALING WITH AI RIGHT NOW.
UM, IF YOU HAVE AN ALEXA, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING WITHIN YOUR HOME THAT IS HELPING, UH, OUR DAILY HOME LIFE? UM, IF YOU'RE HPAC AND YOU HAVE A MOBILE APP, THAT'S, UH, YOU'RE, YOU'RE TELLING WHAT YOU WANT IN YOUR HOME, AS FAR AS THE TEMPERATURE.
UM, IT, IT IS ANYTHING THAT IS USED IN AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS TO BE ABLE TO IMPACT OUR WORLD, THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE, PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM THESE ROBOTS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN OF HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE TO OUR STUDENTS? WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL? IF THEY WANT TO MOVE INTO THAT CAREER? WE HAVE A GREAT PERSONNEL.
OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, AND HE SAID, UH, THE INTERNET OF THINGS, IOT, WHERE YOU'RE USING INTERCONNECTIVITY SOFTWARE BETWEEN VEHICLES, UM, GPS THAT TALKS TO THE COMPANY, NOT ONLY ARE THEY GOING TO NEED TO HAVE TECHNICIANS WHO UNDERSTAND MECHANICS, BUT THEY THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO HAVE COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS TO BASICALLY RUN OUR COMPUTERS.
SO HOW DO WE HELP OUR STUDENTS TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THAT AREA? NEXT SLIDE.
SO THEN YOU START TO LOOK AT OVERALL INNOVATIVE SPACES.
UM, WE PROVIDE SOME DEFINITIONS, SOMETIMES THEY'RE CALLED MAKER SPACES WHERE IT'S BASICALLY AN INTENTIONAL DESIGN, A PLACE SOMEWHERE IN THE BUILDING OR WITHIN THE TEACHER'S CLASSROOM MEDIA CENTER, THAT THEY CAN GO AND WORK TOGETHER, COLLABORATIVE USING TECHNOLOGY ON A PROJECT TO CREATE SOMETHING STANLEY HATCH.
WE DO HAVE TO LOOK THESE UP IN SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOLS.
ARE THEY UP TO THE LEVEL? WE NEED THEM TO BE FOR THE FUTURE AND FOR OUR ENGINEERING STUDENTS, THERE'S ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, INNOVATION LABS.
OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES UTILIZE THIS AS WELL AS SOME INDUSTRY TO WHERE IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA AND IT REQUIRES TECHNOLOGY, IS THERE A PLACE OR HUBS OR INCUBATOR THAT YOU CAN GO TO HELP DEVELOP THAT AND BRING IN THE PEOPLE WHO COULD HELP YOU? WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE THE BUFORD DIGITAL CORRIDOR AND THE DON RYAN CENTER.
AND THAT THAT IS THEIR, THEIR SPIRIT OR THEIR PREMISE OF, IF FOLKS HAVE AN IDEA, WHY NOT COME UTILIZE YOUR RESOURCES AND HELP YOU GET IT OFF FROM THE GROUND AND THEN A VIRTUAL BUYOUT.
AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? IF ANYTHING, WE'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT COVID REMOTE LEARNING AND DO WE TAKE IT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL OF CLOUD-BASED DIGITAL SIMULATION? SO IT'S NOT JUST THE ZOOM IN TEACHING, BUT WHAT DOES THAT ENGAGEMENT LOOK LIKE? AND THEN I'VE JUST INCLUDED AS WE DESIGN THIS, OR LOOK AT THIS, CONSIDER IT SOME PURPOSES WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE OUR PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS BUY-IN, IT'S GOT TO BE AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL.
WE DON'T WANT TO DESIGN IT, PUT ALL THIS EQUIPMENT IN A 3D PRINTERS.
AND THEN IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE UTILIZED WITH INTENTIONALITY, OR WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S, UM, OUTCOMES BASED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABOUT THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, ONE TO MOVE THAT NEEDLE.
SO WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL STUDENTS THAT HAVE ACCESS TO SOMETHING LIKE A TYPE OF INNOVATIVE SPACE.
AND THEN LASTLY IS WE CONSIDER OUR PLAN AND MOVING FORWARD, PART OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE HAS TO INCLUDE YOU WITH CAPITAL AS WE ALL KNOW, WHATEVER CONTENT AREA, GREAT TEACHERS INSPIRE, WHATEVER THAT CONTENT AREA IS, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE COMPUTER AND COMPUTING FIELDS.
SO IF WE HAVE A WAY THAT WE CAN INCREASE THE NUMBER OF OUR TEACHERS THAT ARE EXISTING TO ADD ON THAT COMPUTER SCIENCE ENDORSEMENT, THAT'S GOING TO HELP WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONSISTENT K-12 FRAMEWORK.
IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO RECRUIT AND RETRAIN, RETAIN HIGHLY QUALIFIED IT INSTRUCTORS, THEN THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO HAVE A BETTER PROGRESSION RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE GREAT TEACHERS, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT LEVEL ONE TO LEVEL TWO COURSES TO MEET THE COMPUTER SCIENCE GRADUATION CREDIT MORE, IT TEACHERS WILL ALLOW MORE SECTIONS TO OPEN UP SO THAT
[01:00:01]
MORE KIDS COULD PROGRESS TO THOSE ADVANCED LEVEL COURSES.AND THEN AS I SAID, DEVELOPING A SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SOME TYPE OF, OF CAPACITY INCENTIVE BUILDING FOR THE TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO, TO WANT TO EMBRACE THIS WITHIN THEIR CONTENT AREA AND TO THE, TO THEIR HILTON, WITH THEIR COMFORT LEVEL COMFORT ZONE.
AND THEN LASTLY, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO IF WE LOOK AT WHAT THE NEXT FIVE TO 10 YEARS IS GOING TO BE LIKE, NOT JUST CAREER TECH IN OUR CAREER CENTER, UM, THE ELEMENTARY GRADES, IT'S THIS FEEDING INTO BUILDING OUR STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY'RE GOING ON TO THE MILITARY STRUNG TO WORK, TO CAUGHT ONTO A FOUR YEAR, TWO YEAR OR FOUR YEAR COLLEGE.
IF, IF WE START THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX A LITTLE BIT OF HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING TECHNOLOGY, I DO AGREE WITH THIS, BUT RIGHT, IT IS IT'S GONNA HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT IF WE HAVE INNOVATIVE SPACES AS HARDEST THING, UH, THESE, THESE AREAS THAT HELP OUR KIDS BEING ENGAGED, UM, THEY'RE ALREADY USING MANY THINGS ARE ALREADY GAINED.
THEY'RE ALREADY, THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT.
HOW CAN WE HARNESS THAT INTO A TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESSES? HOW CAN WE INCLUDE CYBER AI? HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN SOME VIRTUAL SIMULATION LEARNING LABS AND THEN LOOKING AT SUSTAINABILITY FOR OUR TEACHERS? SO WE FOUND THIS QUOTE FROM THE, THE NATIONAL FRAMEWORK SAYS IN OUR DIGITAL AGE COMPUTERS ABOUT THE PAINT AND A PAINTBRUSH COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION CREATES THE ARTISTS.
AND THEN I ADDED CTE PRODUCES THE MASTERPIECES.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO START THIS ALONG THE LAST TIE TO COME UP.
AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, KAREN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WHEN I THINK BACK TO WHAT CT EVEN WAS, YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO, COMPARED TO WHAT YOU'RE PRESENTING TO US TODAY.
UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION NOW, AND CAN YOU CONNECT THE DOTS FOR ME BETWEEN WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING AND THEN THAT NSAP GRANT THAT WE HAVE IN CYBERSECURITY AND MED TECH, OR AT LEAST CYBER SECURITY HAS ASKED WHAT I DIDN'T MENTION, THAT I JUST CAN HELP CONNECT THE DOTS FOR ME, PLEASE.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING IT AND SHOUT OUT TO DR.
STRATUS FOR HER VISION AS WELL.
AND SO WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE BRAND MANAGER, THE APPLEBEE, AND WE SEE THAT IN JIRA, ANOTHER GREAT RESOURCE THAT'S GOING TO HELP TO ELEVATE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH K-12 OVERALL COMPUTER SCIENCE, WHAT RESOURCES WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE NSAP GRANT THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO ADD SOME ASSUMING LATER.
SO, UM, LIKE I'M LOOKING AT VIRTUAL DISEASE SPACE, UM, WHICH IN ESSENCE IS VIRTUAL REALITY FOR SOFTWARE.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, YES, WE'LL WORK WITH TANDEM AND COLLABORATE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SAME FORCE, SAME VISION, SAME ROLE, BUT USUALLY SOME RESOURCES AND, UM, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT THAT GRANT TO HELP SUPPORT THAT.
SO IT'S NOT SEPARATE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING AND NOT THE DUPLICATION, OR WILL THERE BE DUPLICATION SHOULD NOT BE, IT SHOULD BE WHERE WE'RE ALL.
AND WE HAVE IT SITTING AT THE TABLE AND LOOKING AT IF, FOR EXAMPLE, WE BUILD THE BUDGET FOR WELL BRANCH.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT, UM, FOCUS, UH, THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT, OKAY.
I SHIFT FUNDS IN A LITTLE DIFFERENT AREAS SO THAT IT'S ALREADY BEING SUPPORTED THROUGH THE MSA FOOD MORASS, WHICH THEN FREES UP THAT.
UM, SO CAN YOU HEAR ME, OR IS IT COMING? OKAY.
SO, UM, ALSO IN ADDITION, UM, CONNECT CLOSELY WITH SOUTH COAST CYBERSECURITY CENTER AND IN THE SOUTH COAST CYBERSECURITY CENTER ESTABLISHED HERE, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THE CITY OF BUFORD JUST PURCHASED PEOPLE, BRIDGES PROPERTY, UH, IN, IN DOWNTOWN, IN SEAFORD OVER HERE, RIGHT? AND THEY'RE BUILDING A CENTER THERE SO THAT SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS AND ACCESS, UH, CYBERSECURITY, UH, UH, OR THEY'RE GOING TO SET UP SIMULATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THERE, THAT WILL BE JUST ELEVATE STUDENT LEARNING AROUND CYBERSECURITY.
SO OUR STUDENTS WILL GET CONNECTED TO THAT.
UM, THIS IS VERY EXCITING AND WE ALREADY HAD CONVERSATIONS IN
[01:05:01]
THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE THAT I THINK WERE ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.SO I DON'T WANT TO ASK AGAIN, UM, BUT PIGGYBACKING OFF OF WHAT MS. VILLAGE IS SAYING AND DR.
RODRIGUEZ, SO WE HAVE THE MAGNET GRANTS AT WHALE RANCH, AND WE HAVE A CENTER BEING IN DOWNTOWN THAT DOES MY CONSTITUENTS.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE'RE PLANNING, UM, YOU'VE MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE FOR IT PATHWAYS, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T REPLICATE THAT IN EVERY CLUSTER, BUT I DO THINK THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S EQUITABLE ACCESS ACROSS THE COUNTY SO THAT THE KIDS HAVE HILTON HEAD.
THEY WANT TO BE CYBER SECURITY.
IF YOU WERE SPOT ON, GO, RIGHT, YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT AT HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT LEAD THE WAY HAS BEEN OUR CURRENT KEY MODEL FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE.
UM, BECAUSE IT'S, SELF-CONTAINED, THEY USE AMAZON WEB SERVICES.
SO IT DOESN'T HIT OUR NETWORK.
NOW I'M TALKING BEST PHENOMENAL TEACHER AT HILTON HEAD HAZEL DISCLOSURE.
I'M JUST SAYING, LIKE, IN GENERAL, IF WE HAD, IF WE'RE BUILDING A CENTER VIEW FOR DOWNTOWN BUFORD AND THE CYBER COAST, MAKING SURE THAT IT'S NOT REALISTIC FOR OUR KIDS TO GET IT THERE.
SO WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE WE DOING OUTSIDE? NO, I'M NOT JUST TRYING TO THESE JUST HILLS, JUST SOUTH OF ABROAD, MAKING SURE THAT ALL KIDS HAVE ACCESS TO SOME LEVEL OF THE STREET.
PART OF THAT STOP THOSE STEPS PART OF THE, UH, SECURITY SIDE OF THAT, THAT THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
AND SO, SO OUR STUDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTY CAN'T ACCESS AND IT WILL BE, I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE TAKING ALL THEIR CLASSES THERE.
RIGHT? ALL THE KIDS WILL STEP INTO THAT FOR SIMULATION AND SOME THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CALM DOWN, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF DIALOGUE AND THE SOUTHERN READ FOR FELONY AS WELL AROUND CYBERSECURITY.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT FROM, UH, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, TAPPING INTO, UH, THIS VERY ISSUE OR LOOKING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO.
AND I THINK IS PLANNING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THOSE SPACES, AND THEY'RE GETTING MODERNIZED AND HILTON IN HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, ARE THERE SPACES THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW FOR THOSE TYPES OF ADVANCED LEVEL COURSES? AND I AGREE, AND I YOU'VE MENTIONED THIS IN THE COMMITTEE AS WELL, BUT ONE THING I DO THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL IS IN PLANNING INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALSO PROMATIC PROGRAMMATIC CHOICE.
UM, SO THAT IF WE'VE PUT A PROGRAM IN LOVE TO HIRE ME RIVER BATTERY CREEK, THAT IS WITH A, PROBABLY ABOUT SOUTH OF THE RISE.
I DON'T THINK ANY OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SCHOOL CHOICE RIGHT NOW, BASED ON CAPACITY.
SO PLANNING OR PROVIDING FOR AVENUES WHERE IF SOMEONE AT MAY RIVER WANTS TO COME TO HILTON HEAD FOR PROJECT LEAD THE WAY THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING THAT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
UM, NO, I'VE GOT ONE THOUGHT ABOUT SPACE, AS YOU'VE MENTIONED, EQUITY, WITHOUT COUNTING ON THE BEADS OF TECHNOLOGY MAGNET SCHOOL, BIG, A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN THESE LITTLE BITS AND PIECES OF INFORMATION SHARING THAT HAPPENS IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND DIFFERENT AREAS.
WELL WE'VE VARIED STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE EIGHT TO ENTER THAT NINTH GRADE MAGNET SCHOOL IT'S WHAT'S UP TYPING.
SOMETIMES TECHNOLOGY WILL PAY IT BY THEN IF IT HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ENTRY LEVEL THING, BUT I CAN SEE US CONTINUALLY GOING, TRYING TO FIT THE MATCHES AND PICK THE KIDS.
I MEAN, ROBOTICS, BUT MENTIONED THAT A COUPLE OF ENTITIES ON ROBOTICS AND NOT COUNTY, WHY ISN'T THERE A CENTRAL PLACE BY TAPPING THE DRAWER.
THAT LEVEL OF ALL THE LEVEL OF STUDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED ARE BACK, THEY HAVE ACCESS AND IT COULD BE AT THAT SITE, UH, CYBERSECURITY, ALL THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE REPORTED BY THE FRONT OF THIS, INSTEAD OF CONTINUALLY BOGGING OURSELVES DOWN INTO LITTLE BITS AND PIECES OF IT.
I MEAN THE NEXT SCHOOL ON THE REFERENDUM SHOULD BE A TECHNOLOGICAL SCHOOL.
[01:10:02]
I HAD A GOOD OLIVIA, SOMEONE, UH, SOMEONE ENROLLMENT ISSUES AND ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS, THESE KIDS WILL BE DRAWN THAT I GOT INTO TRANSPORTATION WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE.BUT I MEAN, LETS THAT BE AN ISSUE THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT.
I'M SURE, BUT I'M THINKING A, A COUNTY-WIDE YOU KNOW, PSYCHOLOGICAL SCHOOL, THAT'S ADVANCED CONCEPT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE BOTH DOWN A LITTLE FOOD.
SO PROGRAMS NEXT 10 YEARS THAT WE HAVE TO ERASE SO THAT THEY HAVE EQUITY SO THAT THE RIGHT CHILDREN, A BIG TAP TAPPING INTO THE RESOURCES THAT WE USED TO THE RIGHT RESOURCES WITH CHILDREN.
WE GOT INTO THE RIGHT JOB, INTO THE ROBOTICS PROGRAM.
NOW, AS WE GO FROM GRADE EARLY GRADE UP TO GRADED TO REALLY ASSESS THAT, THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO SAY, WE EDUCATING PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TO HAVE EVERY KID FIT INTO THE RED SPOTS.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT NEED TO STUDY IT AND I THINK WE NEED TO, THAT'S THE THOUGHT.
AND I THINK WHEN THEY DO IT QUICKLY, I, UM, FIRST OUT LIKE TWO THICKNESSES, I QUIT MRS. GILBERT, AND SHE DID A PRESENTATION OVER LAST WEEK.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE BEST WEEK I'LL BE AT THE LIBRARY.
AND SO THEY KIND OF, THEY KIND OF NEED THAT.
THAT WAS GREAT WAY TO REPRESENT THE VISUAL INTO WHAT NUMBER DECEMBER.
ALSO, ONE THING THAT HE JUST SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, RIGHT.
I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A PLACE.
THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE WHERE WE CAN CREATE A TECHNOLOGY CENTER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I JUST KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT JOBS AND BRINGING DIFFERENT, UH, BUSINESSES TO THE, TO THE COUNTY, TO BEAVER COUNTY, AS IN LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EMPLOY OUR PEOPLE.
I NEVER REPEAT THAT GENERATION OR THE OLD DIVERSITY AS THEY LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL.
I THINK IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT TO GO AHEAD TO GRADE A CENTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THESE KIDS WHO WERE DOING GAMING, UH, DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. AND THOSE ARE ALL IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY.
I THINK WE ARE IN TECHNOLOGY AND I HIT THE GROUND IN SCHOOL THAT, THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY BRINGING IT OUT, BUT I'LL ALSO BRING OTHER BUSINESSES TO THIS AREA AND ALSO BRING NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND NOT BETTER.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL FUNDS FROM.
PROBABLY , YOU'D NEVER KNOW WHAT A BIG COMPANY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN INVESTING IN HOUSING.
THE DISTRICT CAN ACTUALLY PUT A ACTUALLY FACILITY OF ALL OF THAT CAPACITY.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, I MEAN, IT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S BEYOND EVENT BASED SOMETIMES.
UM, SO I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT, THAT, THAT WAS SOMETHING I DEFINITELY WAS GOING TO, AND FROM LISTENING TO THE DIALOGUE AFTER I HAD MEETING THAT WILL BE VERY, UH, WILL BE, WILL BE VERY, UM, IT WOULD JUST BE THIS, THIS, UH, AND DISTRICT PRESIDENTS AND ALSO THE COUNTY AND THE ATTACK SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
LIKE MAYBE SOMEWHERE IN THERE AWARE OF IT, BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE STUDENTS , YOU FOUND THAT SEVEN, UM, SAY, DO WE HAVE, HOW MUCH PROPERTY DO WE HAVE ON 20 ACRES SO WE COULD USE IT TO TALKING ABOUT IT.
UM, AND AS FAR AS TRANSPORTATION, UM, IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE BUSTED, NO, THAT'S COOL.
SO WE CAN GET EVERYBODY IN WELL IN THIS PROGRAM.
[01:15:02]
THANK YOU.THANK YOU, MS. GILBERT, MESILLA TAI.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT SINCE 2015, BECAUSE I WOULD, I AM A FORMER CAKE TEACHER.
WELL, I'M GOING TO TAKE ONE ROUTE.
I AM A CAKE TEACHER AND I'VE WATCHED THE CAKE PROGRAM GROW EXPONENTIALLY.
UM, AND I WATCHED IT GO FROM JUST BEING A LOT OF PROGRAMS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
THEN IT MOVED TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE I WAS IN PROJECT LEAD THE WAY TEACHER AND I ENJOYED THAT.
AND THEN IT MOVED TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND IT'S ALL ABOUT BUY-IN BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE DIFFICULT FOR SOME ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS TO BUY IN, ESPECIALLY TO PROJECT LEAD THE WAY.
AND I WORKED, THEY CAN TELL YOU, I WORK SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
SOMETIMES I OPEN SCHOOL, WE CLOSED THE SCHOOL BECAUSE I HAVE ROBOTICS TEAMS, BUT A LOT OF TEACHERS DID NOT WANT TO DEDICATE THAT TIME, BUT I SEE MORE AND MORE SO IF THEY RUN THE PROGRAM AND SO MANY TEACHERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROGRAM THAT MORE AND MORE TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS HAVE BOUGHT INTO THE PAID PROGRAMS THAT ARE BEING OFFERED.
I DO AGREE THAT WE DO NEED A SCHOOL DEDICATED TO TECHNOLOGY.
SO ALL OF THAT IS AS A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL.
I MEAN, THAT'S THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FROM THE PAST THAT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPUTER SCIENCE AND CYBER SECURITY AND ALL OF THOSE EXTRA THINGS, BUT I AGREE WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU ALL.
YOU ALL HAVE PUT IN THE HOURS, I'VE WATCHED IT OVER THE YEARS AND THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A GREAT TEACHER IN CLASS GENERAL SHARING HANDS.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK SAME THING I ASKED AND THEN TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE, UM, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU'VE DONE JUST AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF GETTING THE VERTICAL PART.
UM, AND I'M INTERESTED IN THE HORIZONTAL PART WHERE EVERYONE IN THIS DISTRICT HAS A LANGUAGE, THE PROBLEM SOLVING APPROACHES THAT COME WITH TECHNOLOGY, AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S MORE THAN IT'S MORE THAN THE MACHINES.
AND SO WE INVESTIGATE, AND THAT NEEDS HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION, SIMILAR TO WHAT ANGELA SAID, BUY-IN FROM THE ENTIRE THING.
SO WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IN THIS DISTRICT, ALL THE TEACHERS, EVERYONE HAS THAT UNDERSTANDING AND THE BOND.
SO SINCE OUR READING, WITH THE TECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY, WORKING WITH THE DR STRATEGY AND WITH THE NSAP, AS WELL AS WE HAVE THAT DAY DATA RANT, THAT IS ALSO ADDRESSING IT AND INCREASE IN STUDENTS' MATH.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR FAMILY AND BUILDING A STRUCTURE TO START FROM A, YOU WOULD ASK WHO WILL BE A CHAMPIONS AND DON'T STRESS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SIGNING FOLKS THAT WILL TAKE THIS INITIATIVE ALL BECAUSE AS I SAID, THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS GOING TO BE EXPECTING, UH, A K-12, UM, ACCOUNTABILITY, IF YOU WILL, OR K-12 FRAMEWORK AND HOW, HOW ARE DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS, CENTERS ADDRESSING THAT? SO W WITH GOING YOUR ISC WITH OUR TWO MAJOR GRANTS WITH MSSP AND NEW DATA, AS WELL AS CONTINUING WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING TO WORK WITH FOR DECADES AND FORMING REALLY FORMAL COMMITTEE TOGETHER ABOUT TRIATHLON, IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO .
SO YOU'RE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WITHIN MRS GILBERT'S OFFICE.
AND THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE BUILD COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS AND LIGHTING SALES WITHIN OUR EDUCATORS THEN FROM THAT ONTO OUR STUDENTS.
AND WE HAVE, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOOK AT US ABOUT THIS POINT AND LOOK IN ISD, WORKING IN TANDEM WITH HR.
WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT CONVERSATION FURTHER BECAUSE WE NEED PD.
WE ACTUALLY PERSONNEL WHO WAS THAT OUR CURRICULUM AND INTEGRATES THE COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE.
SO LOGIC AND PRACTICE INTO ALL OUR CORE CONTENT AREAS.
SO THAT CONVERSATION HAS JUST STARTED PROBABLY ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, BECAUSE WHEN YOU START DESIGNING AND LOOKING, YOU START IDENTIFYING MORE AND MORE NEEDS, BUT THEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL IS WHO CAN THAT BE? AND YOU START TAPPING ON INDUSTRY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT SCALE.
SO WE'RE CONSCIOUS, WE'RE TAKING APPROACHES.
WE'VE REACHED OUT TO A THIRD GRADE AS WELL.
AND THE OTHER COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS AND WORK IN COLLABORATION OF TCL, EVEN ON THE FEDERAL DEVELOPMENT ON ACTIVITIES
[01:20:01]
FOR EDUCATORS, FOR USD, I NEED INTEGRATION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE CONCEPTS INTO OUR CONTENT AREAS.AND THEN WE JUST HAVE TO GO WITH THAT POINT AND YOU, WELL, I WOULD JUST WANT TO SAY, UH, SO WHAT IF, UM, IN TERMS OF IT, SO YOU WOULD, IF YOU MADE THAT, HOW WOULD YOU, WAS IT FROM ACTUALLY FROM WHAT SHE SAID? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, UH, GREEN LEVEL WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO STOP? SO TO STOP THAT? SO I THINK A GOOD STARTING PLACE WOULD BE WITH, WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN PUT FORTH BY THE STATE WITH THOSE K EIGHT STANDARDS.
SO WE STARTED THE ELEMENTARY GRADES AND AS SHE SAID, USING THE RESOURCES WE HAVE WITH THESE GRANTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEVERAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THAT'S THERE AS WELL AS LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY THE WHITE LAUNCH, WHICH IS OUR UTILIZING , WHAT CAN WE DO TO EXPAND THAT? SO I THINK MR. SMITH, GREAT QUESTION.
WE START WITH OUR ELEMENTARY, SO THAT AS MR. SAYS, WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING STUDENTS' SKILL LEVELS SO THAT AS THEY START TO BRANCH OUT, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO THE SEPARATE FACILITY IN COLLABORATION WITH UCB, OR I'LL BE ON THE ROAD, I'M EXCITED TO HEAR OF A POTENTIAL, WHOLE BUILDING DEDICATED TO, UM, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES.
AND WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? SO PERHAPS A GOOD STARTING PLACE WE'RE BEING ABLE TO, AT OUR ELEMENTARY WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE READING SOME NEAT DRY MAIL AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS WITH GRADUATION CREDITS, AND IT PATHWAYS ONE INCREASE THAT AT, AT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT, UH, THE K EIGHT WE THINK WOULD BE A GREAT STARTING PLACE TO GET THAT MOVING FORWARD.
UM, AND I AGREE WITH ANGELA THAT, YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE CHANGED QUITE A BIT RECENTLY, TECHNOLOGICAL PREPARATION, BUT REALITY, WHAT WE STILL HAVE IS A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY AT THAT POINT, ONE OF THE BACK.
AND IT'S A LITTLE LAKES, MANY DIMES, WHATEVER, TO REALLY MEET THE FULL DEPTH.
SO THAT'S THE OTHER REASON, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE PATHWAYS OUR WAY TO DESIGN AT AN ELEMENTARY LEVEL.
AND THEY GOT A POINT OF ATTACK WHILE A POINT WHERE THEY GO TO END UP AND A HIGH SCHOOL THOUGH.
THAT'S WHY A CENTRAL, YOU KNOW, CAREERS.
UH, IT SHOULDN'T WAIT UNTIL THE 10TH GRADE BEFORE THEY REALIZE THAT MAYBE I WANT TO GO TO TECHNICAL COLLEGE BY THEN, THEY SHOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD ADEQUATE PREPARATION.
AND THAT MEANS THAT IT SHOULD BE GEARED TOWARD A HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT'S GOING TO SERVICE THEM PROPERLY.
AND NOW I THINK IT'S, BUT IT WAS MOSTLY A, OKAY, THIS IS WHERE I LAND.
THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE HELPING ME TO GO TO SALVAGE MY CAREER.
AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE WE'RE GOING TO DO DUE DILIGENCE TO BE BETTER DESIGNED ALREADY.
SO WE FIND THESE CHILDREN ARE IN ELEMENTARY LEVEL, FINDING A PATH WITH WHATEVER.
SO THAT'S MORE OR LESS, I THINK WE NEED TO ASK DR.
RODRIGUEZ TO REALLY LOOK INTO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ONE SITE HAS A LOGICAL SENSE AND JUST A FINAL COMMENT, KIND OF A FEEL GOOD ON THE GROUND STORY ABOUT, UM, TECHNOLOGY ED RECENTLY, I ATTENDED, UH, BUFORD CLUSTER AND THIS, I SEE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, EVERY QUARTER TO GET TOGETHER.
AND IT WAS SUPER HIGH SCHOOL LADIES OUT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, UM, UH, SAYING HELEN HAVE WAVES ALL OVER NOW.
UM, KUSA BANG WHEN THE CONVERSATION WENT AROUND ROBOTICS AND THE PRINCIPALS, THIS, THIS ORGANIC IDEA FOR THE PRINCIPALS, THE TEACHERS AND THE PARENTS WAS THAT THE, THE ROBOTICS CLASS AT AN ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL WERE ALL GOING TO TRY TO MEET TOGETHER SO THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COULD HELP THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, BUT HELP THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.
SO THIS IS HAPPENING ORGANICALLY ON A SMALL SCALE, JUST ROBOTICS, BUT THE PRINCIPALS AND THE TEAM, THEY'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS, HOW DO WE GET OUR ELEMENTARY KIDS TO SEE WHAT'S AHEAD OF THEM, WHAT'S OUT THERE.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU ALL, WE HAVE KIND OF GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS TO KIND OF, UM,
[01:25:01]
REALIZE THAT.AND LIKE I SAID, ORGANICALLY, SOME OF THIS IS ACTING AND KUDOS TO THOSE PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS AND PARENTS AND STAFF.
IT DEFINITELY HAS THE COOL FACTOR.
I THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT WE'VE GONE FROM NO ONE WANTS TO BE ON THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE TO AN INITIATIVE, TO HAVE A TECHNOLOGY IN HIGH SCHOOL, IN ONE MEETING, ONE THING.
SO, UH, THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM SAID THAT IT'S THAT OUR CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND GRADUATES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN HIGH SCHOOL, 40% OF THE JOBS THEY'LL FACE WILL BE DIGITAL JOBS.
AND THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN TECHNOLOGY.
IT'S NOT INSTALLING HARDWARE, IT'S ALGORITHMS, IT'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, NEURAL NETWORKS.
UM, SO I WAS TRYING TO THINK, WHAT ARE THE 60% OF JOBS THAT WON'T NEED THAT? BECAUSE YOU THINK ABOUT POLITICS MEDICINE.
UM, EVEN MY SON WHO IS A PERFORMING ARTS MAJOR IS GOING TO A PERFORMANCE WITH THE CONDUCTOR OF THE NORTHWESTERN SYMPHONY TO SEE THEIR PERFORMING, UM, THE MUSIC FROM SKY ROOM AND FINAL FANTASY.
SO THEY'RE PERFORMING VIDEO GAME MUSIC, CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
SO IT'S VERY PERVASIVE, BUT THEN WHAT I DO THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THAT IS IN HERE, BUT IT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED AS MUCH AS I THINK IT COULD BE IS.
UM, AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, FOR THOSE, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO INTO A DIGITAL TECH CAREER, TO ME, WHAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS GROUP OF KIDS TO LEARN, IT'S NOT SORT OF BULLYING.
I MEAN, THAT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL, BUT HOW WE'RE, WE'RE IN AN ENTERING AN AREA SO MUCH WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT MISINFORMATION, DEEP PLATFORM, ME, UM, SPONSORED CONTENT.
HOW DID WE GET KIDS TO RECOGNIZE, UH, WHAT'S LEGITIMATE, SOME OF THESE ALGORITHMS LIKE THEY DID ALL CLOUD.
I WATCHED THEM A LOT OF INTERESTS OF FACEBOOK THAT'S WHEN IT WAS LOWER.
AND, UH, BASICALLY HOW KIDS ARE BEING LED INTO BARRY DICEY AREAS BY SUGGESTED SUGGESTIONS BASED ON ALGORITHMS. SO HOW DO WE START TEACHING? NOT ONLY KIDS THAT PARENTS, UM, I KNOW THERE'S A MOVEMENT TO TALK ABOUT CERTAIN WORDS THAT IT KIND OF PUT INTO, UH, VIDEOS AND TICK TALKS AND WHATNOT THAT THEN LEAD KIDS TO AND CONDITION THEM FOR MORE DANGEROUS CONCEPTS.
AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL BECAUSE I THINK OUR KIDS ARE RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW MY KIDS, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PANDEMIC, A LOT OF KIDS ARE AT HOME ON THEIR DEVICES MORE THAN THEY USED TO BE.
AND THEY'RE GETTING DRAGGED INTO SOME, SOME DARK PARTS OF THE INTERNET AND THEY ALSO NEED TO LEARN HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES WITHIN SOCIAL MEDIA.
SO TO ME, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR, UM, CURRICULUM YOU COULD USE WITH THAT ASPECT OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.
SO THE WEAK RES DIGITAL INFORMED DIGITAL SAVVY, UM, STUDENTS.
SO THEY DON'T GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AS IMPLEMENTED AS A NEW ERA OF, UH, BUYING AND SELLING IN THE NATION.
THAT'S BEEN A BIG ONE, BUT GOING TO BE LIKE TEACHING PEOPLE THAT THERE REALLY ISN'T A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DYES AND SHARE.
WE HAVE TO MAKE, WE HAVE TO MEET THEM GOOD CONSUMERS OF CONTENT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST, IT'S NOT JUST KIDS, SUBJECT BOTTLES, ALGORITHMS AS WELL.
SO, UH, IT IS A CRITICAL PIECE ON THE, ON THE ROBOTICS.
I'VE GOT SEVERAL MEETING SCHEDULED RIGHT NOW WITH, UM, MEMBERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, PLACES AROUND TAKING WHAT EXISTS AROUND VEX ROBOTICS, AND THAT'S WHERE ALL THE COMPETITIONS ARE AT.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE IS A ROBOTICS EXPERIENCE THAT IS A HIGHER LEVEL THAN JUST WHAT BEX PROVIDES BECAUSE MY SON IN FORT BRAY, OKAY, NOT HERE.
THIS WAS DONE ON B, WAS ENGAGED IN A ROBOTICS PROGRAM DOWN THERE.
AND I HAVE THOSE CONTACTS THAT, THAT TRYING TO CONNECT WITH OUR CONTACT OF CONTACT LOCALLY HERE TO MAKE IT, FOUR-ISH SEE IF WE CAN GET A FOREST, BUT WHAT THEY DID WITH FOURTH GRADERS WAS TO HAVE THEM PUT UP.
THEY PUT THEM IN TEAMS AND SAW REAL WORLD CHALLENGES OR PROBLEMS. THEY GOT A MANUAL CALL THAT DAY AND THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT MAN.
THEY WERE PRESENTED WITH REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS, MY SON AND HIS TEAM BUILT AND PROGRAMMED A SUBMERSIBLE, UH, ROBOT PUT IN THE POOL.
AND THEY COULD LOOK AT, THEY HAD TO HAVE A CAMERA BUILT INTO IT AND HAVE A PROBLEM TO SOLVE, WHICH WAS TO FIX THE DAM THAT WAS PUT INTO A
[01:30:01]
POOL, RIGHT.THEN THE ISSUE WAS WITH, SO THEY HAD TO BUILD A ROBOT THAT WAS THE FIRST STRATEGIZE, WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE IT, WHAT THEY NEEDED ON THAT ROBOT, AND THEN EXECUTE ON IT, BUILD IT PROGRAMMING, AND THEN EXECUTE IT OR BREAK IT UP.
BUT WE TIED IN THIS WASN'T PART OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THIS WAS INDEPENDENT, BUT WE TIED IN, IN THAT UNIVERSITY OR THAT HIGH OF UNIVERSITY AND THEIR STUDENTS AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY HELP THESE KIDS.
THEY DIDN'T SAY, OH, YOU NEED TO DO THIS.
THEY WERE TRAINED IN A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, A SOCRATIC METHOD TO SIMPLY ASK QUESTIONS SO THAT KIDS COULD GET TO THEIR OWN SOLUTION.
AND I, AND MY HOPE IS TO MAKE THAT A REALITY FOR OUR KIDS HERE, RIGHT.
UH, SCHOOL SYSTEM AND CONNECT IT WITH ECO AND USE THE NEW STUFF, WHICH IS OFF ABOUT IT.
AND NOW I'VE GOT OTHER CONNECTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY YOU'RE BUYING IN AND THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
AND I'VE EVEN GOT LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION THAT REALLY DRIVE THIS THING.
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT PRESENTATION, RIGHT? CHOICES, STRUCTURE, PROCESSES, AND SPECIAL AND SERVICE.
SO I'LL BE PROVIDING, UH, AN OVERRIDING UPDATE ON STATUS UPDATE ON OUR DISTRICT'S ALTERNATIVES TO THE FLEX DAY PROGRAM CALLED BRIGHT CHOICES.
I'LL BE JOINED VIRTUALLY BY JULIA WHITE WITH US AND DR.
TAMI RAY, WHO IS THE PROGRAMS AS DIRECTOR.
AND SO WHILE I'M SURE THAT MOST OF YOU ARE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH RIGHT CHOICES, I WANT IT TO TAKE SOME TIME THIS MORNING TO DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND TO DISCUSS THE WORKINGS OF THE PROGRAM.
SO I'LL BEGIN WITH JUST A FEW QUICK FACTS ABOUT RATCHET.
THE PROGRAM SERVES STUDENTS GRADES SIX THROUGH 12 AND IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHOSE BEHAVIORAL NEEDS REQUIRE INTENSE SUPPORTS.
YOU ASSOCIATED DISTRICT REGULATIONS THAT COVER ALTERNATIVES TO THAT PLACEMENT OUR AR 60 AND WHICH TOGETHER OUTLINE THE DISTRICT'S APPROACH TO SUSPENSIONS, EXPULSIONS, AND ALTERNATIVES TO THEIR PLACEMENT.
THE OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS ARE FOR STAFF BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WHICH INCLUDES THINGS AND CONSIDERATIONS LIKE STAFFING AND INSTRUCTIONAL EXPECTATIONS.
UM, ROBIN, YOU CAN ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THE GOALS, UH, FOR ALTERNATIVES TO THAT PLACEMENT HERE IN BEAVER COUNTY ARE ALSO VERY CLEARLY OUTLINED IN OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS.
THE FIRST IS TO INTERVENE AND MITIGATE PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR MADE APPARENT BY STUDENT CONDUCT.
THE SECOND IS TO MINIMIZE THE PROSPECT OF A STUDENT DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL.
THE THIRD IS TO RETURN STUDENTS TO THEIR REGULAR ED SETTING, HOPEFULLY BETTER POSITIONED TOWARDS SUCCESSFUL IN FORWARD.
AND THE FOURTH IS TO HELP MAINTAIN AN ORDERLY ENVIRONMENT AT THE STUDENTS.
SO PROCEDURALLY THE DISTRICT EMPLOYS A HEARING OFFICER TO REVIEW SCHOOL-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT.
IF YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS SUPPORTED, A STUDENT MAY BE PLACED AT RIGHT CHOICES FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 DAYS.
ONCE THE PERIOD OF STAY HAS BEEN COMPLETED, A TRANSITION TEAM IS ASSEMBLED, OR THE STUDENT REFLECTS ON THEIR EXPERIENCE AND THE BEHAVIOR THAT RESULTED IN THEIR INITIAL PLACEMENT.
AND ONCE THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETED, A SCHOOL-BASED TRANSITION TEAM SUPPORTS AND MONITOR STUDENT CONDUCT UPON RE-ENTRY.
UM, STUDENTS CAN BE ASSIGNED TO THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS AMONG THE MOST COMMON OFFENSES THAT WE FIND I'VE BEEN FIGHTING, DRUG POSSESSION AND OR DISTRIBUTION AND INAPPROPRIATE PHYSICAL KIND OF DEBT, ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, AND RIGHT CHOICES OF LEADERSHIP SUPPORT AND SAFETY PERSONNEL,
[01:35:01]
AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT.BEFORE WE SHOULD ALSO TYPICALLY BE STAFFED WITH ONE TEACHER PER CLUB PER CONTENT AREA, AND A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER.
HOWEVER, THIS YEAR'S TEACHER SHORTAGES HAVE COMPROMISED OUR ABILITY TO DO SO.
SO AT PRESENT, THERE ARE 34 CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS AND ONE TEACHER.
SO OF COURSE THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE SERVE STUDENTS WHILE BEING SHORT-STAFFED FIRST? THE PREDOMINANT INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY DELIVERY MODEL IS EDGENUITY.
SO AND GOOGLE CLASSROOM OR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR, SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS RECEIVED SERVICES WHEN THEY ZOOM INTO A CLASS AT THEIR HOME SCHOOL SITES, WHERE THERE IS ALREADY A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER PRESENT, BUT A FORCE, SOME SCHOOLS HAVE STAFFING SHORTAGES THEMSELVES.
NEXT LAP NEEDS COUNSELING SUPPORT IS PROVIDED WHEN A STUDENT'S IEP OR 5 0 4 INDICATES THE NEED FOR COUNSELING SERVICES AND ELL STUDENTS RECEIVE THEIR SERVICES FROM AN ASSIGNED SCHOOL-BASED ESOL TEACHER WHO SPENDS ONE BLOCK PER DAY AT RIGHT CHOICES.
AND THAT TEACHER IS FROM BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.
SO OBVIOUSLY PROXIMITY HELPS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN BE PRESENT AND ON TIME AND CONSISTENT WITH OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS.
NEXT SLIDE RELEVANT, RIGHT CHOICES DATA FOR THE CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR IS AS FOLLOWS.
AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK OVER SOME OF THE CRITICAL DATA THAT WE'VE GATHERED FOR MY CHOICES TODAY FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2022.
BUT I THINK THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT DATA WORTH NOTING HERE IS THE MOST COMMON INFRACTIONS VERSUS THE RECIDIVISM RATE THIS YEAR OUT OF THE 70 STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO WRITE SHOW IT CHOICES SO FAR 70 WERE THERE BECAUSE OF DRUG POSSESSION.
HOWEVER, AS OF TODAY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPEAT VIOLATORS MAKING THEM RECIDIVISM RATE SAME PERCENT.
AND FINALLY, WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING AND THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN TAKE OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMMING TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
SOME CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING INTERNALLY HAVE BEEN ABOUT HOW TO CREATE A MORE ROBUST AND IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCE FOR RIGHT TOWARDS THE STUDENTS DURING THEIR YEAR IN STAIR.
AND SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN GENERATED ARE DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE COUNSELING LEVERAGING THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM, SCHEDULED COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELING AND EXPLORATION AND ADULT MENTORING.
AND I'LL PAUSE HERE JUST TO REALLY JUST MENTION THAT WE RECOGNIZE THE VAST MAJORITY OF STUDENTS THAT ARE LINE CHOICES ARE SECONDARY STUDENTS.
OUR SECONDARY AND OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE ON A FOUR BY FOUR SCHEDULE.
SO THAT MEANS THEY GET ACCESS TO THEIR CORE CONTENT AREA COURSES.
BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS ADDITIONAL TIME DURING THE DAY.
AND SO WE DON'T JUST WANT LIGHTS WAS TO BE A PLACE THAT SEPARATE SCHOOLS FOR THEIR HOMESCHOOL COMMUNITIES FOR PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT WHILE THEY'RE THERE, THERE NEEDS TO BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE EXPERIENCE.
SO THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ARE RIGHT AT RIGHT CHOICES, ARE THERE BECAUSE OF SOME INTERACTION WITH DRUGS, THEN IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO THINK ABOUT HOW DO WE DEPLOY ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR THOSE STUDENTS SO THAT WHEN THEY GO BACK INTO THEIR HOME SCHOOLS, THERE IS A COROLLARY BETWEEN THEIR EXPERIENCE AT RIGHT CHOICES AND THEIR SUCCESS AT THEIR OWN SCHOOLS.
AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT ARE ALREADY INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM DEEPENING AND BEING MORE STRATEGIC AROUND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, DID YOU WENT OUT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT COMING IN AND PROVIDING MENTORING TO THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE AND GIVING THEM GUIDANCE AND COUNSEL AROUND HOW TO AVOID THE TRAPPINGS OF, UH, ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR OBVIOUSLY CAN HELP THEIR EXPERIENCE AT RIGHT CHOICES BE, OR, UM, UH, SUCCESSFUL.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, UH, COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELING.
SOME OF THE STUDENTS THAT RIDE CHOICES, OBVIOUSLY AREN'T DISILLUSIONED ABOUT THEIR FUTURES.
AND SO IF WE CAN USE THE TIME THAT THEY'RE AWAY FROM THEIR SCHOOL SITES TO GIVE THEM DIRECT, SUPPORTS AROUND HAVING A VISION AROUND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY MAYBE ARE WANTING MAYBE, OR WELL WANT TO DO BEYOND THEIR SECONDARY YEARS.
AND OBVIOUSLY WE CAN POSITION THEM WHEN THEY GO BACK HOME SCHOOL SITES TO BE MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL.
BUT THEN LASTLY, MENTORING, I THINK THAT WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN FOUR ADULTS IN A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT IS A WIN FROM THEM.
AND SO IF WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME TIME DURING THEIR, DURING THE DAY WHERE WE CAN BRING PARTNERS IN AND FOLKS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE, THEN WE CAN LOOK BACK ON THE TIME THAT GO, PEOPLE ARE AT RIGHT CHOICES AND SAY, LOOK, I GOT TARGETED SUPPORT.
AND I WAS, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE MY COURSE OF ACADEMIC STUDY AND SO THAT WE WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO WARRANT TO PRINCIPALS AND SCHOOL BASED PERSONNEL,
[01:40:01]
THAT THESE ARE THE STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES THAT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN.AND THEN WE'RE GIVING THEM BACK TO YOU BETTER POSITION FOR SUCCESS GOING FORWARD.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
IF YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN QUESTIONS, YOU MIGHT HAVE.
UM, I THINK IF WE EVEN ADDRESS THE DRUG PROBLEM, THAT WILL SOLVE A PROBLEM.
UM, AND I THINK WE NEED TO GET VSS INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS SENTENCED.
SOME OF US ARE NOT, BUT SOME OF THESE STUDENTS BECAUSE OF DRUGS AND NOW, AND I TELL HIM YOU GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM, UM, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL, UH, THERE'S ONE IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, I KNOW LOUD.
AND YEAH, THOSE TEAMS GO FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL ALL THE WAY TO ASK THEM.
YOU SAY THE WHOLE TIME, YOU DON'T GO BACK TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL.
AND LASTLY, WE ADDRESS DRUG PROBLEMS. AND I WOULD ASK THAT THE BOARD DISTRICT SIT DOWN WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, SHERIFF DSS, AND WHOEVER ELSE WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED AND SEE, HOW CAN YOU GIVE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
I THINK, UH, MR. CAMPBELL, TO YOUR POINT, I THINK THAT HISTORICALLY RIGHT CHOICES AS YOU REGARDED AS, UM, PUNITIVE FUNCTION, RIGHT? UH, BUT I THINK THAT IT CAN BE VIEWED AS, OR RESET AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WITHIN A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL SETTING.
THEN OUTSIDE OF THE BEING MOVED THROUGH THAT SAME PERIOD OF TIME, THE OPPORTUNITY IS FOR THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
UH, AND SO 45 DAYS, WHICH RENT, WHICH IS THE AVERAGE PERIOD OF STAY AT WORST BY CHOICES REPRESENTS JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A THIRD OF AN OVERALL SCHOOL YEAR.
IF A SCHOOL, IF A STUDENT IS BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR NORMAL SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A THIRD OF A YEAR, WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM, UH, TO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, TO GET RESET SO THAT THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL.
SO I THINK THAT IT COULD BE A POSITIVE THING FOR YOU RATHER THAN JUST SERVE A PUNITIVE FUNCTION.
BRADLEY, FOR THIS PHASE AND PATIENT, I ACTUALLY HAVE COMMENT INTO QUESTIONS AND I'M GOING TO STICK WITH, FOR THE FIRST COMMENT I'M SEEING WITH THE SLIDE, BUT I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOLUNTEER AT RIGHT CHOICES A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
AND I ENJOYED MY TIME SPEAKING TO CHILDREN THERE, AND THEY DO NEED MENTORS FOR MEMBERS IF YOU HAVE THE TIME.
RIDDICK WOULD ALLOW, YOU KNOW, GO OVER AND SPEAK TO STUDENTS, BECOME A MENTOR TO ONE OR TWO OF THE STUDENTS, THEY LOVE TO SEE US COME IN AND TALK RIGHT HERE ON THE SLIDE.
IS, ARE THESE THINGS CURRENTLY HAPPENING OR ARE THESE THINGS ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL WANT TO HAPPEN COMING UP IN THE FUTURE? SO DR.
RUDY CAN SPEAK TO THE JUVENILE JUSTICE A CAUSE BECAUSE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
BUT I THINK THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING INTERNALLY IS HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE, UH, FUSING IN ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS TO CREATE, UH, A BROADER VISION FOR WHAT RIGHTEOUS CAN ACTUALLY BE? SO THOSE THINGS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE NOT CURRENTLY HAPPENING, OR IF THEY'RE HAPPENING, THEN I HAPPENED TO GET THE LEVEL THAT WE WOULD HOPE, BUT, BUT, BUT I THINK OBVIOUSLY WE CAN DO MORE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCE ARE MORE ROBUST THAN THAT.
AND BEFORE DR REALLY COMES UP, UM, LET'S TALK ABOUT ESOL AND SPED SERVICES.
I KNOW THERE IS A SHOVEL TEACHER SHORTAGE.
UM, YOU SAID, OR ESAU THAT YOU HAD A TEACHER THAT COMES OVER FROM BATTLE CREEK.
UH, HOW OFTEN IS THAT TEACHER COME OVER FROM A BATTERY DAILY? SO SHE COMES FOR ONE PERIOD A DECADE.
UM, HAVE YOU ALL THOUGHT ABOUT, AND THIS GOES WITH THE SPIRIT, HAVE YOU ALL CONSIDERED HIRING A PART-TIME ESOL TEACHER OR A PART-TIME SPED TEACHER? CAUSE THERE, I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF RETIREES THAT YOU TEACH IN THE DISTRICT THAT ARE SPED TEACHERS.
MAYBE THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COME IN PART-TIME, YOU KNOW, COUPLE HOURS, WELL, MORE THAN A COUPLE HOURS.
CAUSE I KNOW SPED STUDENTS NEED CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HOURS, BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HIRING? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE CONSIDERATION, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
[01:45:01]
THE STUDENT POPULATION OF RIGHT CHOICES IS TRANSIENT.SO YOU MIGHT HAVE SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, IF I DISPROPORTIONATE OF STUDENTS IN OCTOBER THAT REQUIRED ESOL SERVICES, BUT NONE IN JANUARY, WELL, GET THOSE NUMBERS THE, SEE HOW OFTEN YOU HAVE SPENT.
WELL, EVEN BY WHAT STUDENTS WOULD BUY A REPORTS, HOW OFTEN YOU HAVE DURING THOSE CYCLES, HAVE YOU ALL TRACKED? YEAH.
RIDDICK AND HIS TEAM REALLY COPIOUS DATA.
SO I ACTUALLY HAD SOME TIME, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEM, SO I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.
UM, SO MY SENSE IS WHEN STUDENTS, WHEN THE STUDENT POPULATIONS, UH, INDICATE THAT THEY REQUIRE NEED, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY QUALMS OF CONSCIOUS WHATSOEVER ABOUT RAISING THEIR HANDS AND SAYING, I NEED AN ADDITIONAL OF, OKAY.
I MEAN, WE'RE COMPLETELY OPEN TO HIRING PART-TIME UH RIGHT.
BECAUSE, BECAUSE, UH, EVEN IF THE POPULATION HAS IMPLODED LIKE THIS, RIGHT.
AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ESAU STUDENTS HERE.
WELL, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY SOFT STUDENTS HERE, THEN I CAN SEND THAT PERSON OVER HERE.
SO, SO THAT'S, THAT'S NOT REALLY, UH, UH, YEAH, THAT'S NOT A CHALLENGE FOR US TO DO LIKE, UH, IS, IS TO WANT TO BE RIGHT.
THE CHILD PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO FIND SOMEBODY TO DO IT.
WHEN WE GO THROUGH A PERSONAL REPORT WITH THE BOARD, UH, ONCE A MONTH, YOU SEE, FOR EXAMPLE ON BED, UM, UH, THE, THE VACANCIES AROUND THIS BED, RIGHT? UH, HR WORKS IN HIRING, UH, AND POSSIBLY HIRING, BUT, BUT FINDING THOSE INDIVIDUALS IS NOT EASY.
AND IF WE HAVE, AND BY THE WAY I SPOKE TO THIS IS GOING TO SOUND CRAZY.
I SPOKE TO, UH, HILTON HEAD ISLAND, UH, REALTORS ASSOCIATION THE OTHER DAY, THIS WEEK AND SAID, ONE OF THE THINGS, UM, UM, LEAD RECRUITER, I THINK TALKING TO THEM AND THEY SAID, HOW CAN WE HELP? BUT YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET THAT QUESTION.
BUT I SAID, WELL, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE.
THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT ANYONE ENTERING OUR COMMUNITY TYPICALLY GETS TO ME.
I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A DOCUMENT ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS.
THAT'S A REAL QUICK SNAPSHOT THAT YOU CAN HAVE, UH, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE, BUT WHEN YOU COME ACROSS PEOPLE WHO ARE TEACHERS WHO ARE EDUCATORS, WHO I WANT YOU TO GIVE THEM MY EMAIL, I SENT OUT MY EMAIL THAT AFTER I GOT IN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY FROM MASSACHUSETTS, THEY'VE PUT ME IN CONTACT, SOMEBODY FROM MASSACHUSETTS WITH PROBABLY MOVING INTO THE AREA IN THE SONG.
UM, WE HAD A REAL OWNER WHO SAID, I'M INTERESTED IN PART-TIME RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED, BUT YOU'RE GOT TO SEE THEIR CERTIFICATIONS AND YOU KNOW, HOW LONG THAT TAKES.
BUT MY POINT IS THAT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING, INCLUDING MYSELF TO TRY TO FIND PEOPLE, EVEN FOR A PART-TIME POSITION, IF WE GET TO BUY, CAN THAT BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE POSTED, YOU KNOW, AS A PART-TIME POSITION? I THINK THE OTHER POSITIONS ARE ALL FULL-TIME, WE'RE LOOKING FOR FULL-TIME POSITIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF RETIREES THAT ARE MOVING HERE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NO ONE THAT ARE MOVING HERE THAT PART-TIME WORK IS ONE FAVORABLE FOR THEM.
SO I WOULD MAKE THAT SUGGESTION THAT THAT WOULD BE A POSITION THAT WILL BE POSTED AS A PART-TIME POSITION SO WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED.
I'M JUST GOING TO, UM, ACTUALLY PIGGYBACK ON THIS MIDDLETON.
UH, I HAD THE SAME QUESTION REGARDING THE SLIDE THAT IS UP THERE.
YOU TALKED ABOUT, THESE ARE THINGS THAT IF WE DID THESE, WE THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE GREAT IMPACT.
SO MY QUESTION IS, UM, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME BACK WITH THE SCHEDULE OR, OR STOPPING OF HOW YOU'RE GOING TO OPERATIONALIZE THIS.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME COUNSELING GOING ON FOR THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE THE DRUG ISSUES? HOW ARE WE GOING TO INCREASE THE ADULT MENTORING? WHAT STEPS ARE WE GOING TO TAKE? BECAUSE I THINK WHAT YOU PUT UP THERE ARE, ARE GOOD STEPS TOWARDS MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS.
AND YOU USE THE WORD IF WE PROVIDED THESE THINGS.
SO MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS TO MOVE FROM IT, TO, WE ARE PROVIDING THESE AND TO THEN LET US KNOW.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S REALLY GREAT VALIDATION
[01:50:01]
FOR THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING INTERNALLY ABOUT HOW WE PUSH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO FOR KIDS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE STRATEGIC BULLET POINTS THAT WE SAY AT LIKE, TO YOUR POINT, IF NOW WE'RE GOING TO CONVERT THAT TO BILLION POUND.
SO YOU ALMOST HAVE NOTHING TO SAY, TO BE ACCUSED OF NOT HAVING THIS IDEA.
SO IS THAT SCHOOLS THAT THEIR STUDENTS COME FROM POINT OF CONTACT IN TERMS OF RELATING THEM TO BOTH ENDS OF THE PROBLEM? IT'S A PRIVATE IN-HOUSE PROBLEM WITH THAT CHILD, IF IT'S BROKEN OR WHATEVER SITUATION A DRAMA IS HAPPENING, 45 DAYS SAID AT JOYCE'S WITH BAD SRO WHO IS ON SITE KIND OF LEGAL MANAGER.
UM, AND THAT ALSO COULD BE AN OUTREACH FOR MENTORING MATTERS MENTORSHIP, BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE, WE GOT TO REDESIGN THE APPROACH TERMS OF WHAT THE STUDENTS SEE AND HOW STUDENTS TO SEE LAW RULES, REGULATIONS, ET CETERA, THAT REQUIRES MENTORSHIP, BUT IT REQUIRES SOME REAL SPECIAL KIND OF DESIGN.
AS YOU ALREADY KNOW FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU GETTING.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE LAW ENFORCEMENT MIGHT BE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
IT MIGHT BE THE EXACT ONE PERSON, SOME OF THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS, I THINK WE DO NEED TO STOP THAT, THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE SRO SO THAT THEY'RE FULLY ENGAGED WHEN A JOB GOES BACK TO THAT SCHOOL, THAT JOB MIGHT HAVE, WELL, A FRIEND.
SO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS THAT'S A BRAIN, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S, THAT'S JUST ONE SUGGESTION, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, I WAS BLINDED, IT'S A GREAT ALBUM, RIGHT? HOW WE EASE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT SOON.
AND I THINK THE BEST EVIDENCE OF THE SUCCESS OF MY CHOICES OFTENTIMES COMES FROM THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES.
AND I THINK BEING IDEALISTIC, WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY IS WHEN A STUPID, LAST TRANSITION OUT OF CHOICES CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE AND FEELING GOOD THAT, HEY, I WAS AT RIGHT CHOICES FOR 45 DAYS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WHILE I WAS THERE, NOT ONLY DID I GET A CHANCE TO CONTINUE WITH MY WORK, BUT I GOT DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELOR, NOT THAT VENTURING WHILE I WAS THERE, I GOT STRATEGIC WORK AROUND CREATING A VISION FOR WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE LIKE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, AROUND COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELING.
THAT'S WHEN YOU BUILD THAT YOU HAVE A STRONG AND ROBUST EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT THAT PUNITIVE, BUT IT'S ALSO REALLY SUPPORTIVE.
IT HELPS LIKE TRAJECTORY ONE, UH, ONE THING THAT I KNOW FOR THIS YEAR THAT IMPRESSED ME HAD TO SLEEP AND I WAS VERY EXCITED TO SEE HAPPEN.
IT'S REALLY PART OF ALL HOLIDAY AND A LUNCHEON FOR THE STUDENTS.
THEY'RE INVITED, THEIR PARENTS BECOME AN INTENT, UM, WHICH WAS AN OUTSTANDING, UH, I THINK STEP FOR MAKING THAT KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS THAT YOU WEREN'T EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF HELL FOR 45 DAYS OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY'RE THERE FOR, THAT, THAT THEY FEEL THAT FEEDS JUST INTO THAT.
AND THAT, THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT MOMENT FOR THAT.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT, UH, ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, UH, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT, UH, AND MAKING THAT EXPERIENCE THERE, I THINK A BETTER ONE OR, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, BUT I HAVE SOME CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO NOW, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING 30 OR 40, OR EVEN ANY MORE THAN 10 STUDENTS YOU SUPPOSED TO HAVE ON ANOTHER TEACHER THAT WILL BE DISRUPTIVE.
YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT MANY STUDENTS, FAMILY, ONE TEACHER I'D SAY THERE'S A SHORTAGE.
BUT TO ME THAT, THAT, THAT IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE.
AND ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF IEP IN THE BOTTOM OF WARD AND HAVING THE TEACHER COME IN ONE BATTERY OR ONE PERIOD SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, HAVING AN IEP, I JUST NEED HER
[01:55:01]
FOR ONE PILL, NEITHER TEACHER FOR ONE PERIOD.I MEAN, YOU NEED HER FOR TWO OR THREE PERIODS OR FOR HALF A DAY, DEPENDING ON WHAT ASSIGNMENT OR WHAT I HAVE, WHAT I HAVE GOING ON.
SO THAT'S A MAJOR CONCERN TO HAVE SOME, ONE STUDENTS ALSO, UM, COMING FROM THE BACKUP, COMING FROM BEING OVER AT RIGHT CHOICES.
SO I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR, FROM LISTENING TO INHERENTLY.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT BEING OVER THERE.
THE RANCH WAS A LITTLE BIT, HE WAS OVER HERE WHEN THEY PUT IT RIGHT HERE.
WE HAVE THE HIGH SCHOOL FROM ACTUALLY BEING ON STAFF AND BEING A, B, THEY ACTUALLY SOLDIER ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
SO I KNOW WHAT I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT OF KIDS ARE LIKE, , IT'S A VERY, VERY SERIOUS THING TO HAVE ONE TEACHER.
AND ALSO NOT TO HAVE A FULL TIME TEAMS IF WE HAVE ON FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME, IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STUDENTS OVER THERE THAT WE CAN MOVE THAT PERSON WRONG DESSERT.
OH, I'M SURE THAT ONE-ON-ONE, THAT YOU HAVE THAT PERSON WHO WILL BE PART OF THIS.
SO THAT'S ONE OF MY FIRST, UH, UM, IF TH THIS, THIS DEFINITELY IS, YOU KNOW, THE REAL QUESTION IS PRESENTATION, BUT THE QUESTION IS, IS WHY DO WE NOT HAVE BUILDING MODEL RIGHT NOW OVER OUR CHOICES? WELL, I THINK THIS IS ABOUT THE VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE PROGRAM.
RIDDICK HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MANAGING, UH, EYE CHOICES SINCE HE'S COME INTO THE DISTRICT.
AND SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIRST SEMESTER, WE'VE DONE A CURSORY REVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND SO, UH, LIKE I SAID, INTERNALLY, WE'RE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HOW DO WE GET BEING SPEC.
THESE THINGS USUALLY ARE ALSO ACTIONABLE.
UH, AND SO WE FULLY EXPECT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IMPLEMENTED.
UH, BUT RIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY WE ARE JUST STRUGGLING BECAUSE WE SIMPLY JUST DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE PERSONNEL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING OUR FIRST AND PRIMARY JOB, WHICH IS TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS HAVE CONTINUITY OF INSTRUCTION WILL LOOK FULL ITSELF.
UM, I THINK THAT THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY LIMITATIONS AND CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE.
AND I THINK ALSO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN A LITTLE STATEMENT, HAD A COUPLE OF RESIGNATIONS THIS YEAR.
WE'VE HAD TEACHERS THAT HAVE ACCEPTED POSITIONS AND THEN DECIDED THAT THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO COME.
I THINK FORTUNATELY, MAYBE NOT THE Y CAN SPEAK TO THAT.
I THINK WE'RE NOW JUST IN A PLACE WHERE WE'VE GOT A NEW TEACHER THAT'S GETTING READY TO COME ON MORE.
I KNOW THAT HR HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO BRING IN PERSONNEL.
SO I THINK THE FIRST EXPECTATION FOR US IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ADDED WITH PERSONNEL.
THEN ONCE WE DO THAT, THEN I THINK IT'S PART OF IT.
IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE FOR US TO BEGIN ACTING ON THIS VISION THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH COLON.
BUT SO IF I CAN ADD A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY AS WELL, UM, TO WHAT DR.
SO AS FAR AS THE COUNSELING SERVICES, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MS. VINTON AND MENTAL HEALTH AND OUR PARTNERSHIPS.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN IN DISCUSSION TO PLACE A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR AT RIGHT CHOICES.
AND THEY HAVE ONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS EXPERIENCE AND IS CERTIFIED DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELOR.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT SERVICE STARTS IN SOME SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE READY, UM, ON THE CASELOAD FOR MENTAL HEALTH TO GET THAT SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES.
UM, WE'VE JUST HIRED ALSO ANOTHER SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE DISTRICT.
AND SHE WILL BEGIN SOMETIME AT RIGHT CHOICES BEGINNING NEXT WEEK, ALSO WORKING ON SOME GROUP SESSIONS AND SOME COUNSELING SESSIONS FOR STUDENTS, NOT JUST STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, BUT ALL STUDENTS, UM, AT RIGHT CHOICES.
THAT'S WHERE AS TEACHERS, WE ARE WORKING TO GET SOMEONE THERE.
FULL-TIME ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING NOW IS THERE ARE NO ON THE GROUND TEACHERS.
SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, REGGIE CLOSELY HR AT POSSIBLE VIRTUAL, UM, CANDIDATES WITH THE SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE ON THE GROUND WITH A SPECIAL EDUCATION COORDINATOR WHO IS ALSO GOING ONSITE NOW TO PROVIDE SOME DIRECT SERVICES TO STUDENTS AT RIGHT CHOICES.
CURRENTLY, WE ONLY HAVE FIVE IEP STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE THAT ALL THEIR DAYS ARE.
SO WE STARTED TO WORK AROUND SOME OF THE THINGS, ESPECIALLY THE COUNSELING, UM, AND ALSO ENSURING THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL ED TEACHER WHO WILL BE THERE ALL DAY, UM, WHETHER IT BE VIRTUAL UNTIL WE CAN GET AN ONSITE PERSON TO, UM, FILL THAT IN LIKE, UM, DR.
BRADLEY SAID, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH HR, WE'VE
[02:00:01]
HAD A COUPLE OF RIDES.THE NATION'S JUST NOT AT RIGHT CHOICES, BUT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, THAT KIND OF JUST MADE IT A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING, BUT WE ARE DOING THE WORK AND STARTED SOME OF THE VISION THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE SLIDE, UM, AND MAKING IT MORE ROBUST AS WE CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THAT AND BUILD UPON THE PROGRAM AND WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO GET THOSE SERVICES THERE.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, RIGHT? CHOICES IS IN MY DISTRICT.
I VISIT THE SCHOOLS IN MY HISTORY.
I HAVE TALKED TO TWO PREVIOUS DIRECTOR.
I TRIED TO GET A SENSE OF THE SCHOOLS WHEN I COME TO VISIT, I WILL TELL YOU THAT, UM, I REALLY ADMIRE WHAT, UH, DR.
VIVEK HAS IN PLACE IN RIGHT CHOICES.
UH, HE'S PUT IN TOUGH LOVE, AND THAT'S WHAT THESE CHILDREN NEED.
UM, BUT YOU NEED YOUR RESOURCES.
THESE ARE OUR MOST CHALLENGING STUDENTS IN NEED OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST PEOPLE.
THAT HAS TO BE A TOP PRIORITY.
I HAVE A CONCERN THOUGH, AND THE CONCERN HAPPENS BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE HEARING OFFICER PART OF IT UNTIL WE HAD THE HEARING OFFICERS.
UH, LISTENING HAS BEEN THERE, TAPED INTERVIEWS.
UM, I, THE FIRST INTERVIEW, UH, WHICH I CAN UNDERSTAND IS NORMALLY THE ONLY INTERVIEW FOR THE FIRST HEARING OFFICER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS DONE VERY WELL, BUT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT CHURCH HEARINGS AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL HEARING THAT WAS DONE, ATROCIOUSLY ATROCIOUS, AND I'M SAYING, WHAT IS OUR PROCESS? WHAT IS OUR SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TAKING CARE OF OUR CHILDREN, OUR MOST CHALLENGING CHILDREN.
AND IF YOU'RE IN PART, I HAVE A REAL, UH, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE PERSONALLY.
AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE ON THAT.
WHAT THE QUALIFICATIONS ARE FOR THE HEARING ON WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL WHO HAS ASKED THAT, THAT STUPID BE PUT INTO RIGHT CHOICES? WHAT, WHAT TYPE OF CHECKLIST IS THERE? WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE SCHOOL, AND THERE'S DR.
RIDDICK GET A FILE ON EACH STUDENT WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENED TO THAT STUDENT THERE SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH.
THEY KNOW IF IT'S A DRUG, IF IT'S A, IF IT'S A VIOLENCE, IF IT'S A HOME PROBLEM, I JUST, I DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S PERFECT.
REALLY GOD, I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE PROCESS, THE END, THE END, BUT AT THE OUTPUT FROM HIS PROGRAM, RIGHT? OH, MY KIDS ALWAYS TELL ME, I HAVE A VERY BIG BULLISH ZONE.
THIS IS UNCOMFORTABLE, ME STANDING BEHIND THEM.
IT IS ANOTHER GOOD MARINE CORPS DATE.
UM, WHEN WE TOOK ON THIS CHALLENGE AND YOU DID NOT, UH, FOCUS ON WHAT WE DID NOT HAVE, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.
WE LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE AND WE TRY TO DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT WE HAVE.
I APPRECIATE THE REMARKS ON THE CALL.
WE HAD SPOKEN ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TIMES.
IN FACT, HE WAS TAKING ME OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND I MET WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING SOME WALK KIDS, BECAUSE THESE ARE OUR KIDS.
UH, NOT LONG HERE, IF SOMEBODY, ONE OF THESE KIDS MAY BE ASSISTANT.
RENICK WAS ALL THE OLD MAN BY THAT TIME.
I NEED THEM TO BE CLEAR-EYED AND I NEED THEM TO HAVE CALM WITH SOME KIND OF ATTRIBUTE THAT WILL TAKE ME ON TO MY NEXT LIFE.
AND SO I'M DOING EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN TO MAKE THEM READY.
HOW DO WE MAKE THEM READY? WE FIRST, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE'LL LIVE IN A COVID WORLD.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO WAVE A MAGIC WAND.
AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DO THAT FOR US.
[02:05:01]
WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE AND EVERYBODY IN MY PRESENCE, IN THE BUILDING THAT BELONGS THE RIGHT CHOICE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH WHAT WE GOT.I HAVE SOME TREMENDOUS PEOPLE WORKING.
UM, MS. COUCH IS BEYOND IMPRESSED, BEYOND IMPRESSES.
MS. WARMAN IS BEYOND IMPRESSIVE.
MS. DANTZLER IS BEYOND IMPRESSIVE EVERYONE, THEIR GLOVES, THESE CHIPS, THEY ARE OUR KIDS.
THEY'RE NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S KIDS.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHERE MORE IMPACT ON THESE KIDS THAN REDO OR THEIR PARENTS.
I WISH IT WAS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I FOUND MY WAY.
SO I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN DO, AND WE WILL DO.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT I DON'T HAVE.
I HAVE KIDS THAT I'VE BEEN WEIRD FOR 30 PLUS YEARS.
AND I FOUND THEM WHEN THEY WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEY STILL SEE ME NOTES ABOUT WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO HAVE SOME PASSION FOR OUR KIDS.
IF WE WERE IN THE BUILDING, WHEREVER THE KIDS ARE, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE PLAYING BALL.
WE'VE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE AND WHAT THEY DO.
AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WE DO THAT AND THEY DON'T COME TO DR.
BRADNEY, EVERYBODY IN PLACE IS TRYING TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN.
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WAS ON A LOCOMOTIVE.
THIS BIG THREE, WE KEEP PRESENT BOARD.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
SO IF YOU ASK ME WHAT I PAID, YES, I WOULD LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MERCEDES OR GAVIN, A COUPLE OF THOSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EVERY TEACHER.
SO I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I GOT.
AND THAT MEANS DOING SOMETHING FOR THOSE KIDS EVERYDAY.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE IN THE ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM.
THEN ONE THING I REALLY DO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER.
I THINK JACKIE, SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT CAREER CHECK THAT'S ME.
I WASN'T CAREER TECH ADMINISTRATOR.
I DRIVE 144 MILES EVERY DAY TO COME TO THIS PLACE.
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT MY GOLF COURSE, ARE YOU NUTS? WE'LL PLAY GOLF.
WHEN I COME UP THE ROADWAY, I THINK THAT'S 1 65.
YO WHAT I SEE THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF TREES ON BOTH SIDES WERE RULES CUT DOWN.
IT'S FOR THE INTERLOPERS, THE NORTHERNERS WHO WERE COMING IN, STAYING IN THOSE HOUSES BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT VOLVO IS DOING.
IF YOU GO SOUTH OF ME, DO CROSS, GUESS WHAT? YOU GOT TO SEE, ALL THOSE TREES ARE DOWN AND NOT MOVE OFF BY.
WELL, HOW DOES THE DEVELOPERS FROM NORTH, FROM WEST WILL COME IN AND JUST STEAL OUR BABIES JOBS? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT? WE GOT TO DECIDE.
WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
WE HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING IN THERE FROM KNOWNS.
AND SO THEY GET THE BEST OUT OF WHAT'S COMING.
AND I GUARANTEE YOU, IT IS COMING.
I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A BUILDER WHO BUILDS A HOUSE TO BE EMPTY.
I READ IT EVERY TIME I'VE HAD FOUR HEART SCAPES PUT IN MY HOUSE AND EVERY TIME THE GUY WHO'S LAYING THE CONCRETE SAID, GET THAT 3000.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? WHATEVER GAME WE'RE PLAYING.
I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT BECAUSE THOSE KIDS ARE IMPORTANT.
AND I DO REALIZE THAT, UH, PROBABLY HAVE STEPPED OFF THE LINE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE WHO I AM.
ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW THEM? THAT'S A NICE QUESTION ABOUT THE HEARING OFFICER.
I JUST WANT REWARDS, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE JUST CONCLUDED INTERVIEWS YESTERDAY FOR A HEARING LOSS AND IT WILL BE AN OUTSIDE PERSON.
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT IN TANDEM WITH TWO PEOPLE
[02:10:01]
TO PERFORM THESE SERVICES.UM, THE INTERVIEWEES THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY, THE TWO BEST CANDIDATES.
SHE'S RETIRED IN TWO YEARS WITH HER HUSBAND IS A CELL CITY.
THE OTHER ONE IS A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER OUT OF.
SO THESE ARE OUTSIDE ENTITIES COMING WITH NO BIASES WHATSOEVER.
THEY ARE LOOKING AT CASES ON CASE BY CASE BASIS AND MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FACTS.
SO THEY WILL BE INTEGRAL IN HAVING A PART OF SETTING UP THAT PROCESS, REDEFINING IT, TWEAKING IT, WHERE WE USED TO BE TWEAKED AND SORT OF, WE CAN HAVE A FAIR, EQUITABLE AND PRECISE.
I'M SO GLAD I DID NOT HAVE ALL OF DR.
I'M A HEARING OFFICER AS WELL.
UM, AS WELL, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT.
UM, AND I USED TO WORK RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE.
I HAD A JOB, ROBERT HARBORVIEW MEDICAL CENTER AND THE SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT.
I MOSTLY WORKED THE DRUG ADS AND THESE WERE HEROIN ADDICTS AND THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IT'S, IT'S A VERY, IT SCARED ME TO DEATH, UM, WORKING WITH SOME OF THESE METHADONE PATIENTS AND PEOPLE THAT CAME IN WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND AS A RESULT, OUR KIDS THAT WAS AS STRICT AS PARENT ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS TRUE.
BUT I THINK THAT THE WITHDRAWAL, AS WE TALK ABOUT THE KIDS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEM, ONE PIECE THAT'S MISSING IS THE PARENTS AND THE FAMILY AND WHAT'S GOING ON AT HOME BECAUSE THE SCHOOL CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH IF THE KID COMES TO RIGHT CHOICES AND HAS A WONDERFUL, UH, TOUGH LOVE APPROACH FROM DR.
RIDDICK, BUT THEN GOES HOME TO CHAOS.
IT CAN, UH, MITIGATE ALL THOSE EFFECTS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY CHOICES DOES INVOLVE THE FAMILY OR THE HOME OR THE PARENTS, UM, WHEN THE CHILD COMES OVER.
AND THEN SECONDLY, DO WE HAVE ANY PROGRAMS WHERE WE'RE EDUCATING PARENTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? BECAUSE MOST KIDS START USING DRUGS, FIFTH, SIXTH GRADE.
IT'S NOT A HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM.
IT'S A MIDDLE SCHOOL PROBLEM WHEN IT BEGINS, ARE WE EDUCATING PARENTS TO LOOK FOR SIGNS CENTRAL SO THAT THEY ARE INFORMED AND THEY CAN INTERVENE EARLIER? I DIDN'T TAKE PROCESS IS THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FORMS THAT ME TRYING TO ACCESS, UM, HOW WE NEED TO SERVE THE STUDENT.
UM, NOT ONLY DO YOU NEED TO DO IT DURING THE INTAKE PROCESS, EVEN AFTER THE STUDENT WAS CERTAIN THEY'RE STANDING, RIGHT CHOICES.
UM, WE COMMONLY CALL PAYERS AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT STATUS OF THEIR CHILD.
I'VE NEVER HAD A SITUATION WHERE I DIDN'T GET A PAN, SO THE PARENTS ARE ALREADY INTERESTED AND WHAT'S GOING ON.
THEN I THINK THEY LACK SOMETIMES THE RESOURCES OR THE NOTE.
UM, AND OFTEN WE HAVE KIDS WHO WERE BEING SERVED BY THEIR EITHER AN INDIAN LAW OR A GRANDPARENT.
AND THOSE THINGS ARE BASICALLY, UH, THE CHILD'S WORLD, UM, PROBLEMATIC.
AND SO, UM, IT WOULDN'T BE A GOOD IDEA TO TRY TO PURSUE SOME PROGRAMS OR WE EDUCATE PARENTS, UH, GAIN.
UM, THAT WILL BE A DIFFICULT START BECAUSE OF WHERE THE PARENTS ALREADY ARE IN THAT REGARDS.
UM, SOME OF THE KIDS WHO COME TO US, THEIR PARENTS CAME TO US.
SO THIS IS AN ONGOING THING AND WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, UH, DO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PARTNERSHIPS.
ONE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS I HAVE, AND I THINK DR.
BRAD HAD MENTIONED IT IS WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN MY PA IT WAS IMPORTANT ONE WITH THEM BECAUSE I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE JUDGE HAS TO SAY.
AND ALSO I WOULD WANT TO LET THE JUDGE KNOW THAT, HEY, UM, I'M SURROUNDED.
UM, I MAY NOT BE DOING EVERYDAY, BUT I'M SURROUNDING THIS GUY.
AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO SEE IS GONNA BE INCARCERATED BECAUSE, UM, I'M CHARGED WITH TAKING CARE OF THEM.
SO GIVE ME A SHOT AT IT AND LET'S SEE WHAT I CAN DO BEFORE WE GO DOWN THAT ROAD.
I'VE GOT A CALL THE OTHER DAY.
THANKS CALLED THE PARISH OF ST.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE INSTITUTED IS THE TEACHER LOVED PROJECT TEACHER LOVE.
IT'S KIND OF A SAFE, UH, FAITH-BASED PROJECT AND COMES IN AND DEALS WITH A TEACHER WELFARE.
IF WE DON'T APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE ALSO SUFFERING.
[02:15:01]
AND WE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE FANS AND NOW TEACHERS CAN BE A GREAT HELP IN, UH, NOT ONLY HAVING THE CHILD, BUT ALSO HAVING THE PARENTS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE KIND OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE SO WE CAN HAVE THE BEST PRODUCT THAT WE CAN GET IT INTO THE DAY.I JUST COME HOME, JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU, REALLY NICE PRESENTATION AND COMMENTS, AND ALSO TO, UM, ALICE WALTON FOR HER COMMENTS.
UM, I WAS GOING TO SAY TO COLONEL GUYER, UH, THAT THE, UH, ATTORNEYS WHO ASSISTED THE BOARD, UH, FOR THOSE HEARINGS, UH, GRACIOUSLY, UH, RELAYED OBSERVATIONS TO DR.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS, UH, WHAT MS. WALTON JUST HOLD WHILE WE HAVE SOME CANDIDATES THAT ARE BEING INTERVIEWED, UM, WE HAVE POSITION.
SO, YOU KNOW, DETAILS OF THAT WOULD BE, UH, HAVE CONVENIENT EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, THE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, DRUGS ARE JUST TERRIBLE.
I MEAN, THERE'S JUST NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE DRUGS.
THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AND PROBABLY LOTS OF THEM, BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE SITTING HERE, THEIR GALLEYS AND OUR HEALTH AND IT'S DECORATED IN SOME WAY BY, BY DRUGS.
I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS THAT UNFORTUNATELY, APPETITE FOR EXPERIMENTATION THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WANT.
LIKE THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, TRY IT OUT AND WE'LL BE GOING BACK THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL PUT IT IN THEIR REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT HAPPENS DURING YOUR BED OR THEIR DOWN THE ROAD TO ADDICTION.
AND I DO THINK THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO PREACH TO OUR CHILDREN, UM, THAT DON'T EVER CROSS THAT LINE.
DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE IT'S NEVER GOING TO ADD, WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS SAID TO MY KIDS IS IT'S A BUSINESS.
THAT MEANS YOU EITHER DEAD OR YOU'RE USING DRUGS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
AND NONE OF THOSE ARE GOOD OPTIONS.
AND, UM, MY CHILDREN WENT THROUGH THE PUBLIC SCHOOL HERE IN 95 TO 2050.
I REMEMBER BY MY OLDER CHILDREN HAD RIBBONS HANGING IN THEIR ROOM, YOU KNOW, FROM THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY A LEFTOVER FROM NANCY REAGAN'S ERA OF BEING THE FIRST LADY WITH JUST SAY, NO, I MEAN, THAT'S THE SAME IDEA.
AND SO, UM, THE, OUR POINTS RECOMMENDING AND DR.
I DO THINK WE HAVE TO, UH, GET THE CHILDREN EARLY.
UM, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS THEY ENTER OUR SYSTEM TO JUST, UH, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, UM, KEEP REPEATING, IT'S NOT TERRIBLE NEGLECT BECAUSE THEY AREN'T READY TO JUST, THERE'S NOTHING GOOD THAT COMES OUT OF THEM.
NOT ONE THING THAT MR. CHANEL, AND THEN IN TERMS OF TRUST, AS WELL AS THE PROCESS, HOW DOES PSP PLAY INTO THE DIRECT SOURCES? UH, CSP IS IF I'M .
YEAH, SO I'LL JUST SAY, I'LL LET YOU TALK ABOUT, BUT I'LL LET YOU SAY THAT RIGHT CHOICES RIGHT NOW ONLY COVER STUDENTS GRADE SIX TO 12 PSP PROGRAM SLOT STUDENTS, AND THEY BASICALLY HAVE TO AN APPLICATION AND WE REVIEW THE APPLICATION THAT THEY SUBMIT.
UM, CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE SENDING OUR BABIES TO THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM.
SO THAT'S THE SECOND PROGRAM WHILE YOUNG KIDS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.
WELL, WE ADD IN FIVE YEARS, WE'VE HAD SCHOOLS THAT WERE, UH, HAVE, WILL ASK ACCESS WHEN PSP AND THEY WERE SENT TO RETROS TO THE ACTUAL PROGRAM.
AND SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE HAVE WE'VE AND BE AT ITS CURRENT TIME.
DID WE HAVE ANY STUDENTS SENT OVER THERE AFRICA? HE TOLD ME HE'S ONE OF MY QUESTIONS ALSO.
UM, I, I JUST WANT TO SAY, I APPRECIATE THE, THE, I ALSO ALSO THAT I'VE HEARD MR. DIRECTOR SAID WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE, BUT ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO CONVEY THAT, YOU KNOW, AS A BOARD MEMBER I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE STUDENT VERSUS
[02:20:01]
TEACHER RATIOS.WELL, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SCHOOLS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AROUND AND IN TERMS OF SAFETY OR, YOU KNOW, UH, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT JUST ALSO LEARNING, BUT WHEN THINGS MAY OCCUR OR HAPPEN BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERAMENT STUDENTS , LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
SO IN TERMS OF EVEN THE SAFETY WITH OUR TEACHERS AND I'VE HAD PRIOR TEACHERS THAT HAVE BOUGHT THAT ISSUE TO BE AS A BOARD AND A BOARD MEMBER, NOW WE DIRECTED THEM TO, YOU KNOW, GO WITH ME.
BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S A CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM, THEY'RE WORKING WHERE THEY HAVE, BUT THIS IS A, THIS IS A I MEAN, SERVE.
AND I, I JUST DID NOT SIT, SIT, SIT QUIETLY.
AND THAT SAY THAT, UH, FROM BEING OVER THERE AND UNDERSTANDING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT'S LIKE, AND HOW'S THROUGHOUT THE SUITS THAT WERE, THAT DIDN'T GRAB THE SUITS THAT WERE SERVING OVER THERE.
UM, MR. GUY REFERRED TO, UH, WHAT THE SITUATION WAS THAT THE BOARD, WE INSISTED THAT STUDENTS, WE HAVEN'T GO THERE FOR A YEAR.
AND SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT ALL JUST DRUGS, TEMPERS AND DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND THEN, WELL, SO I JUST THINK THAT WE, THAT WE NEED TO HAVE MORE, UM, MORE THAN ONE, UH, TEACH OVER THERE AND ALSO AS BE A MESS OVER THERE AS WELL.
SO I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE I THINK WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THERE, THERE, YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY PARSE THIS, RIGHT? YOU CAN SAY, WHAT'S THE STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO.
THEN YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ADULT TO STUDENT RATIO.
SO RIGHT NOW THE RECORD IS SLAT SIX.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ADULTS THAT ARE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE ANY VENDOR SUPPORT, THE STUDENT, YOU HAVE A DIRECTOR, YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, YOU HAVE TWO VMS, YOU HAVE A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER AND YOU HAVE AN OFFICE MANAGER.
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT TEACHER, SO ON A DAILY BASIS.
AND I THINK AT THE PEAK SOONER, RATHER THAN AT A RIGHT CHOICE WAS FOR ME ONE BACK IN, UH, TELEPORT BACK IN DECEMBER.
RIGHT? SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT IN TOTAL, YOU HAVE 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 ADULTS, THE 34 STUDENTS, WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD RATIO.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE WORK TO DO WITH REGARD TO TEACHERS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT THE STATE REQUIRES ONE FOR CONTENT HERE.
ONE CONTENT AREA, TEACHER PER FOUR AREA, RIGHT? SO OVERALL THAT WOULD BE FOUR, BUT THEIR JOBS.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT A TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SCHOOL-BASED TEACHER WOULD DO.
THOSE TEACHERS AT RIGHT CHOICES WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY FACILITATOR BECAUSE YOU HAVE RATES SIX THROUGH 12 REPRESENTED.
SO THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY DELIVERING DIRECT INSTRUCTION, BUT THEY ARE, UH, INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE ENGAGED IN THEIR CONTENT AREA WORK THAT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE SCHOOL.
BUT YEAH, I SHARE YOUR CONCERN.
WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB IN MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE HAVING ALL OF THE NECESSARY ADULTS IN PLACE AT THE SCHOOL, BUT ON A DAILY BASIS, WE FEEL REALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THE RACIAL ADULTS, THE STUDENTS THAT ARE HERE ON A LOT OF THAT TIME, WE CAN CLOSE THIS OUT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO NEED FROM THE BOARD THAT A COUPLE OF THINGS, THE BEST SCENARIO, AND I BROUGHT REVIEWS AND I HAVE TO TALK AND HE'S HIT HER THE PACK ON THESE THINGS.
AND WE KNOW THAT AT THE END, WE'LL LIVE IN A COVID, BUT IN MY BEST SCENARIO, I WOULD HAVE WITH THE OTHER THREE TEACHERS, I WOULD ALSO RATHER LIKE EACH TEACHER, I WOULD HAVE AN OUTDOOR CLASSROOM OR ONE THAT WE'VE ALREADY DESIGNED AND BASICALLY GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF, UH, OF MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
UM, MY KIDS HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY AND I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN THAT WAY.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THE CONFINES OF THAT BUILDING, I LOVE THE SPRING AND THE SPRING.
YOU WILL SEE IF YOU EVER COME BY ROCK CHOICE THAT WE GOT THE BEST TURN AROUND YOU.
AND I DID NOT SAY THE BEST TURF IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
WE WILL HAVE THE BEST TRIP AROUND YOU AND BECAUSE THE KIDS NEED SOMETHING EXTRA.
AND AGAIN, WE WILL ALL WORK IN THAT PROCESS.
WHITE IS, IS WELL AWARE OF ALL THE THINGS ON THE DREAM SHEET.
[02:25:01]
AND SHE ACTUALLY ASKED ME, WHAT DID HE BUDGET WISE? CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.SO SHE'S VERY, VERY UP TO SPEED ON THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
AND SO, UM, ANYTHING THAT, UH, CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE THESE MEASURES, UH, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY EXPEDITE, I'M NOT NECESSARILY TALKING ABOUT THE HUMAN RESOURCES BECAUSE I DON'T, ANYBODY CAN WAIT.
WE WANT TO EXPEDITE THOSE THINGS, BUT THE HARDWARE, THE PLAT PAGE OR THE OUTDOOR CLASSROOM, WHICH WOULD INVOLVE SIX, UM, 20 BY 20, UH, CIRCLE PAPERS AND SIX, SIX CIRCULAR TABLES WITH THE APPROACH.
YOU SEE ME IN MY MARKET, WHAT MARKET ON ROCHE.
SO WHEN PEOPLE COME BY OUR PLACE, THEY KNOW THAT REALLY GET HIS CRUEL IS HERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, COULD YOU SHOW US, I'M GOING TO USE, UM, HOW, HOW WAS WATCHING THE NEWS THIS WEEK AND THEY HAVE WORKED WITH THE MILITARY AND THEY HAVE NO TIME COMES IN AND TEACH SOME OF THEIR CLASSES AND, AND TELL THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, THE GOVERNMENT AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CHANGE SOME OF THE REGULATION THAT WE HAVE.
WE HAVE A HOME THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT.
MR. CAMPBELL, YOU HIT ON SOMETHING VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE I RUN ACROSS PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHO WOULD LOVE TO COME IN AND EITHER TEACH PART-TIME OR, OR EVEN SHIFT CAREERS.
BUT THEN WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE HURDLES THAT THEY HAVE JUMPED THROUGH TO GET CERTIFIED THROUGH THE STATE, RIGHT.
UH, THEN THEY SAY THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME BEFORE I GO AND DO THAT.
AND SOME OF THEM HAVE TREMENDOUS CONTENT KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE OF THEIR, UH, THEIR EXPERTISE AND THEIR EXPERIENCE, WHICH WE SPOKE ABOUT WHEN PROGRAMMING EARLIER TODAY, THAT IS ONE PARTICULAR AREA THAT THEY'RE REALLY SUFFERING A LOT FROM, UH, EXPERTISE, UH, FROM THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CERTAIN MEDICATIONS.
SO SOMEWHERE ON THAT CORNER, SEE, AND I'LL SAY, THIS IS CAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH IS FORWARD THINKING AND INNOVATION AND THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING, RIGHT? SO I THINK WITH REGARD TO MY CHOICES OR ANY OTHER WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IN THE DISTRICT, UM, DR.
RODRIGUEZ HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE'S TO PERPETUATE THE STATUS QUO.
THAT'S WHAT WE PERPETUATE THE SATISFIES.
ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE TAKING A STEP BACK AND THAT INCLUDES RIGHTS CHOICES AS WELL.
SO I THINK WE HAVE A VERY CLEAR MANDATE ABOUT BEING, AND I, AND I APPRECIATE MR. CAMPBELL'S COMMENTS A LITTLE BIT EARLY WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT STEM ACADEMY FOR THE VISIONARY, OR WE'VE GOT TO THINK BIG ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE AND NOT NECESSARILY JUST DO THINGS AS WE ALWAYS HAVE, REGARDLESS OF ITS CUMMINS, THE RIGHT CHOICE.
SO WE'VE GOT SOME VISION AND SOME DIRECTION AND A CLEAR MANDATE AROUND DOING MORE INNOVATIVE THINGS TO MAKE, ET CETERA, TO ENSURE MORE ROBUST AND IMPACTING EXPERIENCE FOR KIDS.
WE'VE GOT A FANTASTIC VISIONARY LEADER OVER THERE WHO CAN LEAD THAT WORK.
AND I CAN ENSURE YOU CAN SHOW YOU, YOU CAN SEE SOME DIFFERENCES.
ONE OTHER THING YOU ASKED ME WHAT I MIGHT BE FORGETTING THAT BRINGS ON STANDBY ON MIKE'S.
BUT I GUESS I HAVE TO, I GOTTA TAKE MY KIDS OVER THERE TO THAT.
I JUST NEED TO TAKE MY KIDS OVER THERE TO THE, UM, THAT WAS THE ONE OTHER THAN MY MOM AND I ON PARRIS ISLAND.
THAT ISLAND WAS THE MOST IMPACTFUL THING IN MY LIFE.
I LIVE AND BREATHE BEING A MARINE.
I NEED MY KIDS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AT GRADUATION.
I NEED THEM TO SEE THE CEO PEOPLE COME BECAUSE THEY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE UNITED STATES BELIEVES THOSE.
NO LADIES, THOSE YOUNG MEN, I NEED THEM TO SEE THE TOUGHNESS AS INSTILLED IN HIM.
I NEED HIM TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE ENCOURAGING COMMITMENT NEEDS.
I NEED THEM TO WALK THE WALK THAT
[02:30:01]
THOSE MARINES WORE, OR AT LEAST SEE IT BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHOLE LOT AND WALK.IT TAKES TO COOPERATE THREE MONTHS OF BEING NEXT TO HELL.
AND HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY THEY BECOME INSPIRED BY WHAT THEY SEE, BECAUSE EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF, UM, THAT I CAN PROVIDE FOR THOSE KIDS, I WILL PROVIDE.
UM, THE REASON I NOT ALREADY DONE THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A PAUSE AND SAY, MY KIDS CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO I AM IN PRAYERFUL AND I WILL PRAY THAT YOU, THAT YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT POLICY AND SEE HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TWEAK IT.
I KNOW WE HAVE SOME KIDS WHO, THAT WE MIGHT NOT WANT TO DO THAT, AND I HATE I'M LEAVING SOMEONE OUT, BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT THE GOOD OR THE WHOLE.
AND SO THOSE ONES THAT I KNOW WOULD NOT PRESENT THEM IN A WAY THAT, THAT WE REALLY DON'T NEED TO SEE HAPPEN, BUT FOR THE BULK OF THEM, I WOULD, I WOULD PRAY THAT YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT POLICY AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING I MIGHT BE ABLE TO CHANGE, OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A, SUCH A DO.
AND, UH, THE RATS DOWN BUDGETING, WAIT FOR DR.
RODRIGUEZ, THE THINGS IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU WANT.
BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY TWO THINGS, UM, GETTING OVER THE PARASOL AND SHOWING THEM WHAT PRIDE LOOKS LIKE, I THINK WILL BE GREAT.
AND THE OTHER THING IS I APPRECIATE YOUR APPROACH TO NOT ASSUME SOMEBODY IS COMING, TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT NOW.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE A BREAK.
UM, I THINK LUNCH WILL BE OUT HERE MOMENTARILY.
CHAIRMAN, DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR END BOARD MEMBERS EXCEPT THE NEW HYBRID INFO INFORMATION REGARDING OUR PRIORITY AND ADDITIONAL TRANSFORMATIONAL SCHOOLS, THE FIRST TWO PAGES OF YOUR DOCUMENT WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THESE CLASSES.
DANIEL BALLEN OUR DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND DATA SERVICES WILL FURTHER PROVIDE DETAILS.
CAN PORTIONS OF THIS PRESENTATION AS WAY FOR US TO GET DATA ON SPECIFIC SCHOOLS.
AS YOU REVIEWED A DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE ARE TWO CONSTANTS THAT ARE PARENTS.
FIRST, EACH SCHOOL IN THIS PRESENTATION HAS A FIVE COVID AS A CHALLENGE.
AGAIN, WE RECOGNIZE THIS AS A LOCAL STATE AND NATIONAL ISSUES, AS WELL AS GLOBAL ISSUE, AS WE'VE ENGAGED THE SECOND YEAR OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, THE SECOND COMMONALITY THAT PEOPLE WOULD PAY, THEY INFER FROM THE PRESENTATION IS THAT ALL SCHOOLS WORKING TOWARDS IT ARE WORKING TOWARDS IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING.
DEFINITELY KNOW IF THE PRESENTATION INFORMATION YOU HAVE RECEIVED IS BROKEN UP INTO TWO AREAS, ONE TYPE OF SCHOOL DESCRIPTION, OR A NARRATIVE ITEM TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION OF WHO WAS PREPARED BY THEN, IT WOULD BE THE FIGHTING SCHOOLS LEADERSHIP SPECIFIC TO THE SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE BEEN REFERRING TO.
IT WILL BE DATA POINTS THAT DANIEL BALLEN WILL SHARE.
CURRENT ENROLLMENT WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO THAT DATA TABLE, SCHOOL, MICE MILESTONES, OVER SPECIFIC SCHOOL POPULATION, AS IT RELATES TO CLASSIFICATION OF EITHER PRIORITY, WHY A SCHOOL-WIDE SCHOOL OR
[02:35:01]
AN ADDITIONAL TRANSFORMATIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND ANY SCHOOL THAT IDENTIFY TO YOU THAT IS AN ATSI SCHOOL WAS SUBJECT TO THE SUBGROUP OF SPECIAL EDUCATION.ANOTHER AREA AREAS YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A, YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE NEW INITIATIVES.
AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT I SHARED WITH YOU AT BREATH WITH US, THE CHALLENGES THAT I AM, THAT I ASKED MR BOUND TO GO THROUGH THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AS WE GO OUT TO THE STATE GUIDELINES, AS IT RELATES TO THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
SO IN YOUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, BEFORE YOU, UH, I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERYTHING, BUT, BUT KNOW THAT THIS, UH, HE'S DESIGNATION FOR SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SUPPORT DO COME FROM THE STATE WAIVER.
JUDY, YOU KNOW, EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT THAT'S UP.
SO UNDER THAT MODEL, UM, SCHOOLS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL.
UH, THOSE SCHOOLS ARE TITLE ONE SCHOOLS AND THEY ARE FALLING IN THE BOTTOM 5% BASED ON THEIR REPORT CARD READY FOR THAT YEAR.
SO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOLS, UM, ARE IDENTIFIED BOTTOM 5%, PERFORMING, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LIST OF THE CSI SCHOOLS.
HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE ANOTHER DATA ELEMENT THAT THE SCHOOL HAS TO GRADUATION RATE 170%.
OUR SCHOOLS FALL ON THE 10TH PERCENTILE.
THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE TITLE ONE BASED ON AN OVERALL SCORE IS HOW SCHOOL BECOMES A PRIORITY SCHOOL TSI SCHOOLS.
THEY ARE, UM, THE LOW 10% AND THEY ALSO ARE, THE APARTMENTS IS COMING UP AT THE, UH, TITLE ONE LEVEL AND THEN THE ADDITION OF THE , BUT THE BOTTOM 5% FOR THEIR, THEIR LEVEL, IF THOSE SCHOOLS HAVE ANY SUBGROUPS CHECK UPON.
SO THE REPORT CARD, UH, AT, TO, OR FINISHING UP IS LOWER THAN THE OVERALL RATE CSR.
SO CASE IN POINT, LET'S SAY A CSI SCHOOL HAS AN OVERALL REPORT CARD RATING OF 35 POINTS OF EACH SCHOOL AND SAY IS EXAMINED FURTHER BY ETHNICITY, BUT DISABILITY AND ALL STUDENTS, UH, PEOPLE IN POVERTY.
UM, AS SOON AS WE HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY, AGAIN, WE'LL BE ADDING IN MIGRANT AND MILITARY FAMILIES GO INTO THOSE SUBGROUPS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL BEING ADDRESSED.
IF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE REPORT CARD, UCLA MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, UM, GROWTH, AS WELL AS COLLEGE CURRY, HIGH SCHOOL DISTRIBUTION RATE, ANY OF THOSE SUBGROUPS SCORES OF A SCORE, LESS THAN THAT THREE 18 SONGS, REGARDLESS OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN OF THE CSI SCHOOL, THAT IS THE 5% YOUR, UM, YOUR SUBGROUP WOULD FALL BELOW THOSE WHO YOU ARE, DISTRICT TARGETS.
THEY ARE IDENTIFIED EVERY FOUR YEARS.
UH, THE SCHOOLS THAT YOU HEAR FROM TODAY, EITHER PRIORITY OR ATSI THEIR DATA, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE TO COME OFF OF THESE LISTS.
IN 2020, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020 THAT WE'VE HAD ONE TEST EVENT IN 2021.
THERE WERE, THOSE SCHOOLS DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE OFF THE LIST OF 20 21, 20 22.
WE HAVE NOT YET HEARD OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE AN OVERALL RATING NUMBER OF WORK ARTS.
SO WE DO NOT KNOW IT'S JUST GOING TO BE ANOTHER CARRY OVER TO SAY , UH, THANK YOU.
WELL, SCHOOLS ARE SONGS FOR THESE CLASSIFICATIONS.
THEY GIVE YOU SEE THE FINANCIAL BENEFITS THAT ARE ALLOCATED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ADMIT TO THE STATE, THE LABOR GO TO RECEIPT OF THOSE FUNDING.
LET'S GO TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT.
HE HAD SAID OBVIOUSLY, FINANCIAL COMPONENT.
JEAN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO START REVIEW FOR ELEMENTARY.
SO IF YOU COULD TURN YOUR PAGES TO PAGE THREE, I AM ASKING YOU TO KEEP YOUR PRIOR PAGE BECAUSE THIS WHOLE PRESENTATION, THIS IS A POINT OF REFERENCE FOR YOURSELVES.
I WON'T GO THROUGH THE COMPLETE READING.
I YOU'D RECOGNIZE THE AGENDA RIGHT AFTER LUNCH.
THOSE OF US WHO RUN A CLASSROOM, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER LINE.
SO PLEASE TAKE YOU OUT TO THE LIGHTS, WAKE UP YOUR AXILLIUM BRAIN.
SO IF I CAN SHARE IT POLITELY, YOU COULD ELEMENTARY.
THEY DO HAVE A PROFILE MISSION TO PROMOTE GROWTH AND CHARACTER AND A SAFE AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT.
THEY BUILD LIKE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AIMS, WHICH IS A GIFTED MODEL.
THEY CONTAINED SELF BALES OF SELF-CONTAINED SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES.
ONE OF OUR NEW ELEMENTARY SORT OF LIKE STEM SCHOOLS AND DIFFERENT ONES.
YOU'LL GET ANOTHER STEM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR HIS PRESENTATION.
[02:40:01]
YOU KNOW, STEM LEARNING FOCUSES ON INTEGRATED APPROACH OUT THEIR CURRICULUM.AND AS STAFF MEMBERS WITHIN BUFORD ELEMENTARY, THERE IS A SINCERE COMMITMENT ALL STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
YOU SEE ROMAN NUMERAL TWO, JUST TO GET BACKGROUND A BIT WITH ONCE AGAIN, IDENTIFYING SO LEADERSHIP TEAM WHO PREPARED.
AND IF WE GO TO ROMAN NUMERAL FOUR, AT THIS POINT, I WILL ASK MR. VALLON TO SHARE THE DATA CABLE.
SO ALL THE DATA TABLES THAT WE LOOK AT THAT IS THAT DREAM WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME LAYOUT.
SO WHETHER THE SCHOOLS OR DEPARTMENTS OR ATSI SCHOOL BOARD IS THE HALL STUDENTS, AS WELL AS THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR AFRICANS MAN OPERATE FOR PUPILS AND POVERTY, UH, ELL STUDENTS AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
YOU SEE THE ENROLLMENT COUNT THAT FIRST CALL.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? UH, UNDER THE, UH, THAT'S A WAIVER, UH, SOUTH CAROLINA DENOTES THAT EACH SCHOOL WOULD HAVE A SUBGROUP WITH 20 OR MORE.
SO W WE'LL LOOK INTO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
WE COULD SEE, YES, THEY WILL HAVE AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUBGROUP.
THEY WOULD HAVE A HISPANIC THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ANY SENSE OF GROUP, A WHITE SUB GROUP POVERTY.
THEN THEY WOULD HAVE A STUDENT THAT WAS REALLY SUFFERED.
SO IF TESTS WERE TO OCCUR THIS SPRING AND A NEW ELIGIBILITY, WE WOULD NOT BE LOOKING AT THEM AS A POTENTIAL AP ADVISABLE OR GROUPS LESSON.
SO THAT'S WHY I PUT THAT THERE.
SO IF THEY'RE ON LIST FOR EIGHT, THE ENTIRE GROUP OF HAVING MORE THAN 20 TO 2019, UM, AND THEY DON'T ANY MORE THAN OBVIOUSLY, WE KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE RESULT WILL BE IN ACCOUNT.
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT IT, THE FOLLOWING FOUR COLUMNS, WE'RE LOOKING AT MATHEMATICS AND READING, AND THAT IS THE FALL AND THE WINTER PROJECTED FOR EFFICIENCY FOR GRADE 20, SORT OF IN THIS CASE, FIVE STUDENTS YOU'RE LOOKING AT MIDDLE SCHOOLS WILL BE SIX OR EIGHT AND EARLY NOTICEABLE THAT MIGHT HAVE.
SO IT WOULD BE THAT ANY COMBINATION OF THOSE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL STUDENTS PROJECTED PROFICIENCY FOR MATHEMATICS AND THE FALL.
IT WAS ROUGHLY A THIRD OF THEIR STUDENTS ARE DURING THE THIRD PERCENT, UH, AND WINTER THAT INCREASED IN THEIR 9.7, NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PAY IF IT WAS FOR ALL EIGHT SCHOOLS, BUT, UH, TO CARRY THAT OVER TO BREEDING, UH, WE GREW 39.7% PROJECTED PROFICIENCY HAS EVOLVED, UH, AND THAT IS NOW 1% PROJECTED.
SO RECOGNIZE LOOKING AT THE DATA TABLE AND DOESN'T WANT US TO AUTOMATE NOW THAT ONLY GO TO EITHER WHO ARE THE VISION.
NOW, THIS KIDS AND PATIENT, AND WE HAVE DISCUSSION, WHAT WAS THE GROWTH MODEL FOR A STUDENT'S LANGUAGE HAS EITHER LIFE BALANCE AND MEMBERSHIP WITHIN OUR TEAM.
I RECOGNIZE THEM AS BOARD MEMBERS IS GROWTH.
CAN WE GROW OUR STUDENTS? WE DO WANT TO HAVE OUR STUDENTS AS EFFICIENCY.
THAT IS, THAT IS A NO BRAINER, BUT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT OUR SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW ARE GROWING, RECOGNIZE IT, THAT WE ARE STILL WITHIN THE SECOND YEAR OF A PANDEMIC.
SO WE LOOK AT THE MILESTONES AND IDENTIFYING WHAT BE FOR VAIL AND BE PRENATAL.
BATTERY ATSI ARE BEING UTILIZED FOR ADDITIONAL INTERVENTIONISTS WHO ARE SPECIFICALLY WHAT OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WHO HAVE AN IEP.
I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND ALSO SHARE A SPECIAL NOTES, UM, PRINCIPALS SACK, AND SEND ME A COMMUNICATION LATE LAST NIGHT, THAT LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SPECIAL STUDENT POPULATION, THEY'RE UTILIZING THE MEETING, PLUS THE WEIGHT WITH THEIR HORSE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS AFTER SCHOOL, HE WANTS STUDENT WAS ACTUALLY AT 0% AND IT COULD BE JUST A RESULT OF NOT TAKING THE TEST SERIOUSLY.
UM, WHEN THEY WAS SITTING FOR EARLY IREADY TESTING, THEY CAME IN AND AT TECHNICALLY AT A TIER THREE, THIS CHILD HAS BEEN RECEIVING SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS IN AFTER SCHOOL.
AND RIGHT NOW WITHIN HIS SCHOOL, YOUNG MAN IS AT A TOP 5%.
I WANTED TO SHARE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A TYPE OF RECOGNITION AND HARD WORK RECOGNIZING WHERE WE ARE AT STAFFING CHALLENGES, ABSENCE, TEAM CHALLENGES, BUT WE HAVE OUR STAFF PUSHING 100% TO HELP OUR STUDENTS AND PUSHING, TEACHING AND LEARNING.
AND WE LOOK AT THE SECOND BULLET ON THIS PAGE.
INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IS PROTECTED FOR ALL STUDENTS.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT RESONATES WITH MOST OF OUR SCHOOLS.
IT IS ALSO IN AN ITEMS THAT THOSE OF US IN ADVOCATE COMMITTEE, WE DO, WE HAVE TO SHARE THAT WITH THE NATURE OF HOW WE PROTECT ACADEMIC TIME.
SO FURTHER DOWN STUDENTS IN GRADES K THROUGH EIGHT, THREE ARE INVITED INTO A STRONG FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING WHAT SOME SCHOOLS YOU'LL HEAR LATER ON, OR IT'S A DOUBLE QUESTION OF GIVING ADDITIONAL HELP IN A STUDENT THAT HAD A LARGER GAP WHO WHEN COVID HIT TECHNICALLY CLOSED OFF THESE YOUNG BABIES REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MORE EDUCATION.
SO MANY OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE DOUBLING UP, NOT REALIZING THAT THESE YOUNG STUDENTS WILL NEXT YEAR ALSO BE A POINT OF
[02:45:01]
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR US.FURTHER DOWN, WE RECOGNIZE SANDY SOURCE IS AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT IS UTILIZED.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT AS WE IN THIS PROBLEM, BUT AS WE ARE LOOKING, YOU'RE HEARING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT INTERVENTIONS THAT THEY HAVE IN PLACE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE PUSHING, UH, ADDITIONAL BEFORE.
SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE STARTED BACK TO SCHOOL AND WE HAD THE PANDEMIC, IT'S MORE DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE THOSE SUPPORT WITH BUDGETS, IMPACT YOUR STAFFING.
AND IT'S IMPACTFUL WHEN IT SETTLED DOWN, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK, RIGHT? AND THEN YOU SEE SOME POSITIVE IMPACTS OF THAT WORK ALREADY PLAYING OUT JANUARY WITH THE PIGS RIGHT NOW, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DO THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, AS IT STARTS TO GO DOWN, THEN, THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT HAPPENING AGAIN.
RIGHT? SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT ONE OF THE IMPACTS ON STAFFING IS THAT YOU'RE UTILIZING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, OR TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEEP YOUR TRUCK TO GO FROM.
SO TEACHERS ARE OUT AND YOU NEED YOUR INTERVENTION DISTRICT, YOUR SUPPORT, PEOPLE CLASSROOM.
THOSE, IT HAS THAT KIND OF AN AND TO BUILD IN THAT COMMENTARY, BUT I'LL GO AND REVISIT AGAIN.
IT'S REFLECTIVE OF THE DEDICATION OF OUR EDUCATORS AT THE SCHOOL SITES.
THEY ARE ALONG THE WAY AND BEYOND IT IS A TAXING TIME RIGHT NOW.
SO LAST TWO ITEMS ON THIS PAGE.
ONCE AGAIN, WHAT'S IN THE EMPHASIS ON THE INTEGRATED STEM INITIATIVES, AS WELL AS EMPHASIS BEING PAID TO, UM, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING FOR OUR STUDENTS AT BUFORD ELEMENTARY.
IF YOU TURN THE PAGE AT PAGE SIX, YOU'LL SEE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF SPECIAL ATTENTION INSTRUCTIONAL INITIATIVES FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, ROMAN ALMOST SEVEN IDENTIFIES THE NEW INITIATIVES.
IF YOU LOOK FURTHER IN ROMAN NUMERAL SEVEN, WAIT TIME IS WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE IT WORK.
THAT IS A B AGAIN, THAT IS RESONATING AMONGST OUR EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL LEADERS.
AND I'LL LET YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE CHALLENGES CAUSE THOSE THREE ITEMS WILL RESONATE THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION ALONG THE EIGHT SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN YOUR PAPERWORK.
I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO PAUSE AND I'LL TURN THE PAGE.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BROADWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FINDS ITSELF AT CHALLENGING STUDENTS WITH RIGOROUS INSTRUCTION.
WE RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A POPULATION OF 444 STUDENTS.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHERE WHEN YOU ARE THERE, YOU HEAR STUDENTS SPEAKING MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.
THAT IS A BUILDING BLOCK OF THE DUAL LANGUAGE, SPANISH DUAL LANGUAGE, CHINESE GROGAN.
AND IT'S ALSO REFLECTED IN OUR HILTON HEAD SCHOOL, WHETHER IT'S JUST A SCHOOL HILTON, HILTON HEAD ID, THE LANGUAGE DIVERSITY IS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT AN ARRAY OF ACADEMIC CAMP PROGRAMS, SUCH THAT I SHARED WITH YOU TO DUAL LANGUAGE, BUT LET'S TAKE NOTE THAT WE'RE BILLING GLOBAL CITIZENS.
AND THAT IS A POINT OF PRIDE OF PRINCIPLE CONSTITUTES GOOD WINE LEWIS AND ROY RIVER PARTY TO SUCCESS AT ROY ELEMENTARY IN ALL TRUTH IS WHAT THEY FEEL IS THEIR SPECIAL RECOGNITION AS BEING ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS TO HAVE A SCHOOL WIDE PILOT FOR SCHOLASTIC LITERACY.
IF YOU SEE FURTHER WITHIN THAT PARAGRAPH, THE LAST SENTENCE, IT IT'S 10.6% GAIN.
THAT TREND IS A CONTINUUM ON A DATA.
AGAIN, IT'S THE SAME DATA LAYOUTS WITH THE ENROLLMENT, 188 STUDENTS.
UM, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, THE ALL STUDENTS, UH, INCREASED FROM 25% PROJECT EFFICIENCY MATHEMATICS ON BASED ON THAT, UH, TO 31.9%.
SO WE'RE SEEING EVERYBODY, ALL STUDENTS, AS WELL AS HER READING 22.4% AND 27.2%.
UH, ONE PIECE I DO WANT TO ADD TO ALL THE DATA TABLES IS IF, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, IT'S SOMEWHAT, UH, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MISSING ON MAP DATA BECAUSE ACCOUNTABILITY DOES COUNT IN THE ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT.
YOU SEEM TO DO NOT JUST NOW, BUT ARE ALL STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY GOING BACK TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT HAS THE PROGRAM OF ALTERNATIVE STUDENTS, THOSE STUDENTS, THE WORDS COUNT.
SO IF THEY'RE DOING WELL AND, YOU KNOW, PART OF ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS MORE RUBRIC BASED ASSESSMENTS FOR THE STUDENTS THAT COUNTS MORE, THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY PASSING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL.
[02:50:01]
IN THAT DATA BECAUSE IT'S NOT.AND THEN WASN'T THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE DATA TABLES, IF NOT A LITTLE POSE, UM, WE'VE GOT STAFF NUMBERS.
SO TOTAL POPULATION IS FLUENT.
SO THE TOTAL POPULATION FOR A PRE-K FIVE WAS ABOUT 400 STUDENTS.
WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT GRADES THREE THROUGH EIGHT .
SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION TO THE TABLES, ONCE AGAIN ON THE ACCOUNTABILITY STUDENTS, BECAUSE THAT IS THE AREA THAT WE UTILIZE FOR VACATION.
WELL, MR. FALLON MENTIONED THAT SOME OF THE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, UM, TAKE THE ALTERNATIVE, UH, UM, TASK AND THAT COUNTS.
SO, UM, I'M WORKING AT, BECAUSE THESE SCHOOLS THAT ARE, UM, ATI SCHOOLS ARE IN THAT CATEGORY BECAUSE OF JUST STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY CATEGORY.
SO I'M LOOKING AT BROAD RIVER AND, UM, SO THEY HAVE 26 STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
IS THAT 26 INCLUSIVE OF EVERYONE, OR JUST THE ONES THAT TAKE THAT IS EVERYONE.
SO YOU WOULD HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHETHER WOULD THEY HAVE A SUBGROUP THAT WAS NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENTATIVE TESTED HERE THAT IS REPRESENTED AS, UH, LAST WEEK, UM, RIGHT AROUND THE 98 DAY, UM, WHO WAS SAYING, I DID A BYE, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, MAP DATA THAT THEIR PROFICIENCIES ARE DECREASING RATHER THAN INCREASING.
AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THE SCHOOLS ARE IN THAT CATEGORY.
AND ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT POPULATION, SO WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS LIKE NOT STUDENTS THAT ARE TAKING THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WILL HELP THEM.
AND HONESTLY, WITH JUST LOOKING AT READING AND MATH DATA FROM MAPS, UM, THE HSI SCHOOLS, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THAT YEAR'S ADMINISTRATION OF SC READY ALONG WITH THE SURVEY, ALONG WITH THE GROWTH METRICS AND ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE REPORT CARD TO KNOW WHO THE BOTTOM 5% ARE.
SO THERE'S NOTHING I CAN'T PROJECT BASED ON JUST THESE NUMBERS.
WHAT ARE, WHAT BROAD RIVER DNA HIGH SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES? AGAIN, NO IDEA.
SO I CAN'T PROJECT BASED ON THESE NUMBERS AND ATSI SCHOOL, BUT I CAN'T TRACK OVER TIME WHAT THEIR PROJECTED COMPONENT OF ROUGHLY 35% OF THEIR REPORT CARD WOULD BE COMPROMISED.
IT STILL WOULD BE ADMINISTERED A SURVEY.
THEY WOULD STILL HAVE A GROWTH METRIC IN PLACE.
SO THEY STILL WOULD TAKE TWO TESTS AND SAY, I HAVE A GROWTH MODEL.
SO YEAH, THIS IS ONLY ONE COMPONENT OF WHAT COULD MAKE THE SCHOOL AN ACSI OR FIERY SCHOOL, BUT AS A RATHER LARGE PERCENTAGE OF, AND THIS IS WHERE MY DAD WAS GOING TO WITHIN A DATA TABLE AND CONVERSATION, I MET MRS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE WINE LEWIS RECOGNIZES THAT AS WELL, LOOKING AT IT DEEP AND DEVELOPMENT IN FEBRUARY FOR TO JOIN IN SUPPORT IS TO BE IN A BUSHEL.
ON PAGE EIGHT, JUST QUICKLY, IF YOU COULD JUST HIT THAT THEY ARE KEEPING A CLOSE, CLOSE LOOK AT PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF YOUR STUDENTS.
THEY ARE SEEKING TO TARGET ALL STUDENTS UNDER A GROWTH MODEL.
AND I CAME BOTH FROM DOWN THAT FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATION SCHOOLS ON PAGE NINE, WE STARTED HELPING HIM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL SERVES 836 STUDENTS.
THEY ARE ONE OF OUR TWO PRIORITY SCHOOLS.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHARE THAT I DON'T GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THE SCHOOL SEEKS TO ASPIRE TO BRING A QUALITY EDUCATION TO OUR STUDENTS.
AND TO ME WAS RATHER SIGNIFICANT.
NOW IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT'S SPLIT 17 OF THEIR EIGHTH GRADERS, ALL APPLYING PURCELL FOR A LINE OF JUNIOR SCHOLARS.
I THINK THAT IS QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE SCHOOL.
I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE 117 AS I KNOW HE CAN USE.
AND WE GO FURTHER DOWN TO LOOK ON
[02:55:01]
THE DATA TABLE.WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL JUST GET YOU TO REVIEW.
AND IT'S JUST A POINT OF CLARITY ON THIS DATA TABLE.
HILTON ISLAND, MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A PRIORITY SCHOOL, SO THEY WERE NOT IDENTIFIED FOR ANY PARTICULAR SUBGROUP.
SO THERE'S SOME BE FORMS DID NOT QUALIFY THEM THAT LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUITY OF DATA YOU ARE REPORTING TO YOU.
SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT LOOKS UNIFORMLY ACROSS ALL.
UH, YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AT THIS POINT WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET.
AND WHAT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU IS CONDITIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OUT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AS SOON AS THEIR STUDENT ARTWORK HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED THE RIVER AWARDS, THE COVER, BUT A BOOK COVER, AND IT WAS 2021.
THERE IS SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ITSELF.
UM, WITH REGARD TO HELPING INCREASE STUDENTS INVOLVED IN A TUTORING, THEY'VE ALSO HAD ONLINE FOR THE LANTERN PARADE THIS YEAR.
THEY ARE UTILIZING DATA TRACKING FOR ALL STUDENTS, AS PART OF THEIR ROUTINE WAS IMPROVED WITH BOTTLE.
AND THEY'RE RECOGNIZING THAT COVID ITSELF.
YOU KNOW, CATHERINE COLBERT IS A VISION AND VOICES FROM THE BILL.
IT IS A BOOK BETWEEN ARTWORK AND WRITINGS CREATED BY THEIR STUDENTS.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY CREATED A BOOK REGARDING THE IMPACT OF COVID AT KENDRA SCHOOL COMMUNITY.
MAYBE HAVEN'T SEEN IT AS A DORM.
I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT RUN FROM MY OFFICE THAT YOU HAVE.
UM, WELL, LET ME JUST SLIDE OUT TO SOMEBODY ELSE AS WELL.
IT KEEPING THE TUTORING GROWING AND NOW UNDER PAT REED AND CONTINUING ON THE PRINCIPAL IS THE, WHAT I CALL SUPPORTS FACILITATION, THE STETSON MODEL, LOOKING AT RELATION, UTILIZING WHAT OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES THAT IS WHERE WE, YOU DON'T HAVE A TEACHER COMING IN, PUSH IN WORKING WITH THEM CO-PLANNING OR OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE AN ADVOCATE.
SOME OF THE NEW INITIATIVES, TIER THREE INTERVENTIONISTS AND READING TIER TWO INTERVENTION IS TARGETING READING AND MATH.
AS I SHARED WITH YOU, THEIR AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM, THEIR COACH, AN INSTRUCTIONAL COACH WHO WAS LEADING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES TO THE KEY ESSENCE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT MODEL, LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE AND HOW THEY'RE TEACHING AND ASKING THE QUESTION, WELL, WHY AREN'T WE TEACHING? WHERE'S THE ALIGNMENT TO THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR STANDARDS.
YOU WOULD SEE ONCE AGAIN, THAT COVID HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH REGARD TO STUDENT ATTENDANCE, AS WELL AS STAFFING.
IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, JOSEPH SHANKLIN AT ELEMENTARY, THERE'S SOME POINTS HERE THAT I MYSELF DID NOT KNOW.
I KNEW WITHOUT ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND WORKING WHEN OUR PRINCIPAL WERE THERE.
I HAD THIS SCENARIO TO RECOGNIZE IF JOSEPH SHANKLIN IS NAMED IN HONOR, JOSEPH ESHERICK, LIKE THE PRINCIPAL OF AN HISTORIC NEWPORT COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOL'S MODEL THAT THE BOOKER T WASHINGTON'S TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE AND PROVIDED A WIDE VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
WE'LL SEE UP FROM 1908 TO 1955 TO DEVELOP THEIR TALENTS.
I EMPHASIZE THAT STATEMENT BECAUSE AT ACADEMIC COMMITTEE, WE HAD A PRESENTATION BY PRINCIPAL THERE REGARDING REFORMULATING HER SCHOOL PLACING ADDITIONAL EMPHASIS AT CHANG'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND PULLING THE TALENTS OF OUR STUDENTS.
THAT IS THE WORK THAT SHE'S SEEKING TO DO IN THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR BUILDING ON IT.
AND IT'S JUST PUTTING WORK RIGHT DOWN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO SHIFT THE CULTURE AND MINDSET AND ALIGNMENT THAT LEADER IN ME AS ONE OF THEIR CULTURE, BUT ALSO APIC DEVIN MODELS WITHIN THE CANVAS.
BUT AGAIN, YOU HAVE, THIS IS, IS PULLING THE TALENTS THAT OUR STUDENTS GIVE YOU THOSE, BUT FURTHER DOWN WITHIN THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH, BECAUSE EQUIP QUICK, WHY ARE THE STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS? WE FEED HAS A GROWING POPULATION OF STUDENTS THAT MY MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS, WE ARE WORKING TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THAT CAMPUS AS WELL, FURTHER DOWN IN THE PAGE.
ONCE YOU GET IT, IT'S A DATA TABLE.
JOSEPH SHANKLIN IS AN ATSI SCHOOL IDENTIFIED UNDER THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
IF WE TURN TO PAGE 12, I ONCE AGAIN, WANT TO JUST MAKE NUMBERS.
SHE'S TARGETING INTERVENTIONS TO THE STUDENTS, NOT JUST WHEN YOU'RE WITH THEIR STUDENTS, BUT ALL STUDENTS AS I OPENED THIS CONVERSATION.
WELL PRESENTATION, ACTUALLY, I SHARED WITH YOU, IT'S A GROWTH MODEL.
I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ROMAN THAT IS IDENTIFYING THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BREAST STUDENTS VALUE PIECE.
AND UNDER THE NEW INITIATIVES IS A NEW APP.
THE SCHOOL SESSION THAT STARTING IN THAT SHE ROTATES THE SESSIONS WITH STUDENTS.
SO STUDENTS TO GET HER STUDENTS TO, TO AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXHALE AND HAVE RECREATION.
SO SHE RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS ROTATING OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS OUR EDUCATORS.
SO THEY KNOW TIME AS WELL TO REFRESH
[03:00:03]
OUR NEXT WE'LL GET AS AN ATSI SCHOOLS.OH, FATIGUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
UM, MY FIRST QUESTION IS FOR, UM, UM, DANIELLE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IF THIS IS BASED ON AGAIN.
SO THESE CHARTS WITH THE SCHOOL DATA, THE DEMOGRAPHICS, UM, IT'S GOT, UH, AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISPANIC, WHITE, WHAT ARE THE OTHER CATEGORIES THAT AREN'T THERE BECAUSE THERE'S TWO OTHER, OR THERE ARE TWO OR MORE RACES THERE'S AGE CIVIC, ISLANDER AMERICAN INDIAN, AND THERE'S SOME NATIVE HAWAIIAN.
AND THEN SPANISH, TECHNICALLY THOSE HISPANICS CAN BE UNDER RACIST, BUT UNDER THE FEDERAL GUIDANCE WOULD SAY I'M HISPANIC OF THE SPECIFIC, BUT THEIR, THEIR CLASS LINE WAS WITH SPANISH AS FAR AS, OKAY.
SO OBVIOUSLY POVERTY, ELL, UM, PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, WHAT STUDENTS COULD ACTUALLY BE IN ALL THREE, THEY COULD BE IN FLORIDA, OBVIOUSLY HAVE AN ETHNICITY, THEN THEY COULD BE PEOPLE IN MONITORY THEY COULD BE.
AND MY NEXT QUESTION IS FOR, UM, ON THE, YOU POINTED OUT THE NICE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL, HAVING STUDENTS QUALIFY FOR SOUTH CAROLINA, JUNIOR SCHOLARS, BASED ON THE FAP SCORING YESMAIL VISIT, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? AND THE PRIMARY MIDDLE SCHOOL IN BEAVER COUNTY, THE BEAUTY OF THAT ACTUALLY STARTED THAT PROCESS AND A PSA PSA, EIGHT P S K T SQUARED UP INTO THIS CATEGORY, FUTURE GROWTH TO BE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR.
BUT I'M ASKING YOU SO AS OUR PRIMARY MIDDLE SCHOOL.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS NOT OFFERED AT THE OTHER RENTAL SCHOOLS.
I'M JUST TRYING TO LINE UP TO WHERE WE'RE AT AT THE RIGHT, THE SECOND SENTENCE FOR PROGRAM THAT ASPIRE TO BRING QUALITY LOCAL EDUCATION TO OUR STUDENTS IS, SHOULD BE PREMIER MIDDLE SCHOOL.
SO THAT IS, UM, SO THAT'S HOW THAT PROGRAM IS OFFERED IN ALL MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN BEAVER COUNTY, THE TESTING, THE SAT AND EIGHTH GRADE, IT IS OFFERED.
IF I COULD HAVE JUST A FAMILY GET A LITTLE DETAILS AT THAT IS TO GO INTO AN AREA OF TRYING TO BROADEN.
BECAUSE LAST YEAR WE HAD FIVE STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ABOUT CORRECT HILTON HEAD HIGH WHO HAD NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARS.
AND IT IS AN AREA THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PLAN PLACE, ADDITIONAL CAMPUSES.
I BELIEVE WE HAD A TOTAL OF NINE WITHIN THE COUNTY, BUT OTHER COUNTIES MANAGE 20 MONITOR 27 AND IT IS SYDNEY UP AGAIN.
AND, UM, SO I KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO ASSIGN PRIORITY.
SO I WAS JUST UNDER THE, WHEN IT SAYS NO PROBLEM.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION ALSO, JUST SO IT'S KIND OF A HIGH LEVEL LAYMAN TO A STATISTICIAN.
I MOST SEE A PATTERN THAT GIVES ME THE OTHER, THE OTHER SCHOOLS KIND OF SEE A PATTERN BETWEEN FALL AND WINTER SCORES, BUT I DON'T SEE THAT MR. IS UNDERSTANDING , THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE.
ALSO, IN ADDITION, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IT, BUT ONE POINT WHATEVER, OR AN INCREASE OF ONE, BUT I PERSONALLY WILL GET IT.
THAT'S WHY WHEN I SEE A LARGE INCREASE OR MORE THE LARGE DECREASE AFTER THAT, BECAUSE IF IT'S A VERY LOW STUDENT COUNT LIKE 13 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT.
THEN, THEN ONE STUDENT JUST SWING THAT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRIGHTON.
BUT, BUT ESSENTIALLY, UH, WHEN, WHEN I SEE, WHEN I LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT, UH, IN MATH, UH, A LITTLE BIT, UH, AND IN AS A WHOLE PICTURE.
[03:05:01]
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, DOES I DO MEET WITH THE SCHOOL AND I NOTICED THERE NOT THE COPS AS WELL.THEY JUST HAVE THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL INTERVIEW ON TUESDAY.
SO THEY HAVE AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT HAS BEEN REALLY USED TO THEIR SCHOOL ACTUALLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AS WELL AS I STARTED WITH OTT.
I CAN'T RECOGNIZE HER, UM, MUCH EASIER TO SAY YES.
SOMEBODY ELSE ON THAT CRUISE CREATED NINE AND MR. SHANNON, JOSEPH HIS FATHER AND ALSO THE, HIS FAMILY FROM SOME HELP.
UM, THERE WERE ALSO STUDENTS GETTING FROM GEORGIA AND ALABAMA MOVED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE HIGH SCHOOL SO WE CAME TO CHINA, UM, IT HEADS DOWN MISLEADING COATS.
WE LEVEL SO FAR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ON, IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, CHERYL.
BUT THAT, THAT, THAT IS LISTED AS THREE.
TALKING ABOUT STUDENTS, TALKING STUDENTS MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS PATH TOGETHER.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT READ OUT DATA-WISE.
THEN WE HAD A FIVE TO FIVE STUDENTS IN MY MIND PROBABLY COULD HAVE HIGHER RATE, THEN SIX WEEKS.
ARE THEY GOING TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT? I GOT A LARGE NUMBER.
THAT'S JUST THAT INFORMATION SACRED TO THEM.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO A BETTER JOB OF SHOWING THOSE NUMBERS TOO, RIGHT? I'M TO SHOW US THREE TO FIVE.
AND IT'S TRULY BECAUSE OF THE LAST SCHOOL WE GET TO FIVE, EIGHT SCHOOL.
SO FOR CONTINUITY OF THE DATA TABLE, EACH STUDENT REPRESENTED EFFICIENCY OF THE PARTICULAR SCHOOL SITE.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW LIKE EXAMPLE WHAT BUILDS IN THAT MIDDLE IS DONE AND WE'LL BRANCH.
WELL, THAT'S A DOUBLE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
NO, I'M JUST LOOKING AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WE HAVE THOSE TWO, AND I'M LOOKING AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGAIN.
AND IT'S ME, YOU MEAN THE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS, UH, AT THE END OF BACK AND FORTH, AND THEN JUST THREE TO FIVE AND THE DATA THAT YOU'RE SHOWING ME ALSO INSTEAD OF THREE TO EIGHT RIGHT NOW, THEY SAID THAT MY OUTLOOK ON SET THEM UP RIGHT NOW BANDS.
THIS IS THE OTHER THING TOO, MEL, TO YOUR POINT, ANGIE, WE NEED TO REMEMBER OR FIND ALSO OUR LISTENERS THAT THE, UM, THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE BOTH PRIORITY SCHOOLS, WHICH MEANS THERE WERE DESIGNATED THAT THE LOWEST 10% SCHOOL-WIDE I THINK THE MISTAKE, WHEREAS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, IT WAS JUST, IT COULD JUST BE ONE CATEGORY OF TESTERS THAT WAS IN THE LOWEST 10% OF THE STATE.
SO THAT'S WHY IT'S TOOK DIFFERENT PERSONALLY, BUT POINT TAKEN AND THE FORMATTING AND THE FUTURE FOR THE SPRING, WE'LL DO IT BY GRADE BANDS.
ELEMENTARY IS ONE OF OUR ATSI.
THEY ARE HOW MANY HOURS I DO WANT TO SHARE THAT IT WAS A STRUGGLE, EVEN A COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF ALS
[03:10:01]
WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE LEARNERS, WHO ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME FOR INSTRUCTION.THEY STAY IN SCHOOL ALL DAY AND ARE SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS.
AND I WANT TO PLACE EMPHASIS FOR THAT BECAUSE THE PRINCIPAL AT ONC ELEMENTARY STRONGLY BELIEVES IN ROUTINE AND DEVELOPING OUR STUDENTS WHO RECOGNIZE ROUTINE.
DOES HAVE YOU BEEN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DO NOW THAT THAT IS NECESSARY FOR OUR LITTLE ONES.
IF YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK AT THE DATA HAVE GROWN, YOU KNEW ALL FOUR.
AGAIN, OBESITY IS AN ATSI SCHOOL BASED ON SUBGROUP OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND SOME OF THE MILES.
SO IS THAT IT'D BE IDENTIFIED ON PAGE 14, 10 CLASSES ARE COVERED DAILY ACTIVE TEACHER AND PARENT ORGANIZATION AT THE CAMPUS SCHOOL LIGHT VIEW.
SO SMALL INSTRUCTIONAL, STRONG STAFFING PRACTICES, EVERY HIRING.
SO THEY KNOW SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN NEEDLING.
THIS PRINCIPAL TAKES PRIOR TO REACHING OUT TO HR EARLY ENOUGH TO TRY AND FILL THE GAPS.
THEY'VE HAD NO GAINS IN READING.
THEY'VE HAD GROWTH ON THEIR INTERNAL STUDENTS SURVEY, TEACHER, HANDS STUDENTS SERVING AGAIN, CONDUCTING PRESCRIPTIVE INTERVENTIONS FOR YOUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY ABILITIES.
THEY HAVE ONE GROUP ALREADY GOING FROM OCTOBER THROUGH NOVEMBER.
THE SECOND CYCLE STARTS NOW ON MEN, ON AFTERSCHOOL TUTORING.
THEY HAD A STRONG INTEGRATION OF IREADY READING AS WELL AS PRIOR INTEGRATION, CONTINUED INTEGRATION.
OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL ROVERS THAT I SHARED WITH YOU, THEY UTILIZE THE SUPPORT FACILITATION MODEL, THE OFTEN GILLINGHAM READING, THEY HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING TEAMS. THEY CONTINUE WITH THE UTILIZATION OF PLCS, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES.
AND WE WERE WORKING WITH JAMIE PINCKNEY REGARDING THIS IS A GROWTH OF HER MULTILANGUAGE MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS ON CAMPUS, AND I NEED TO INCREASE SIDA TRAINING OF HER TEACHERS.
SO WE'VE ALREADY EXECUTED A CONTRACT FOR SCHOOL.
WE WANTED A PRIORITIES TO HAVE A TEACHERS INVOLVED WITH THE TRAINING.
ANY QUESTIONS? PREJUDGED, BILL ELEMENTARY.
UM, REFERENCE TO WHERE IT SHOWS EXACTLY HOW THE HANDLES ARE OPEN.
UM, LET ME SEE, CAUSE THIS IS ALL THE SAME AND THE, WHAT I'M ASKING THEM TO YOUR, UM, RESULTS DO.
AND IN TERMS OF WHAT RESOURCES THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF HELPS ME TO GUIDE ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I STARTED THE SCHOOL WITH MAY DIFFER FROM MAYBE A GLOBAL CONCERN THAT MAY NOW.
SAME PRINCIPLE PAINT B HAS A MUCH MORE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE THAT LEADERSHIP MEANING.
AND WHEN SHE HAS A LEADERSHIP MEETING, ALL THESE MEMBERS ARE SITTING AT OUR TABLE.
SO THAT'S ALSO AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHOICE.
THE QUESTION IS IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE PROVIDING MORE STAFF TO THEIR T THAN THE OTHER SCHOOLS.
IT'S JUST THAT SHE'S BRINGING IN MORE PEOPLE FROM HER BUILDING BECAUSE OUR TABLE AND LEADER, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? RIGHT? DOES SHE NOT, SHE NOT GETTING ALLOCATED ANY MORE THAN SAY ANOTHER SCHOOL, HE'S JUST TAPPING INTO THEM AND DISTRIBUTING THE LEADERSHIP ROLE, A LITTLE DIFFERENT, RIGHT.
BUT ALSO ARE ALL THE SAME ROLES WITH EVERY SCHOOL.
THAT'S OR NOT WHEREVER HE GOES OR SHARING.
ALL THESE ROLES, ROLES ARE, ARE STABBED AT EACH OF THESE SCHOOLS.
BASICALLY SHE MEETS WITH THESE PEOPLE ENDED UP MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY DID THAT IMPLEMENT THAT.
I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S JUST THAT I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE NOT IMPLEMENTING OR UTILIZING THOSE SERVICES.
THE SCHOOL JUST DIDN'T LIST THEM ON HERE.
AS PART OF THAT, THEY JUST SAID LEADERSHIP.
SO THAT MEANS PRINCIPAL ASSISTANT, WHERE, UH, MISS PIGGY SAID LEADERSHIP.
THAT MEANS PRINCIPAL ASSISTANT
[03:15:01]
PRINCIPAL, COUNSELOR.YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I'LL HAVE THEM JUST LISTED THAT THE OTHER ONES JUST LISTED AND I DIDN'T LET IT TAKE THE LIBERTY WITH SAM.
SEC EDD SCHOOLS, ALL OUR SCHOOLS HAVE THE SAME POSITIONS.
SO AT BRIDGET BELL ELEMENTARY, I DO WANT TO PLACE THEM FOR US RECOGNIZE THEY'RE ONE OF THE TWO STEM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS IN THIS PRESENTATION.
ONE OTHER ITEM THAT BRINGS THEM ON STAFF POSTED IT.
THEY ARE NOW NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL HONOR THAT THE VACATION ISSUE YEAR RATHER AND LOSE THE PRINCIPAL AND YOU GET SOME BROOKLYN FURTHER DOWN.
YOU SEE, SHE INCLUDES HER COACHES AS WELL AS PART OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM FOR DATA IS PRESENTED RIGHT AFTERWARDS.
WHAT ARE MY MILESTONES? AND AGAIN, TO GO ATTENTION TO IS NO RECOGNIZE AS A MOVE WITHIN LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL IN 2021 ON HER FIRST SUBMITTAL.
AND I HAVE TO MAKE THAT RECOGNITION BECAUSE MANY TIMES IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE TIME.
IT WAS HER PERSON THAT SHOULD BE SEEN.
IF THEY'RE HIGH, READY WITH YOUR DIAGNOSTIC DATA, YOU COULD SEE THEM BE ON THE NEXT TWO BULLETS.
WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE AN ATSI SCHOOL SUBGROUP CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT ROMAN NUMERAL SIX, IT SPEAKS TO A LITTLE MORE OF WHAT MR. SMITH AND SPRING OF BOWARD ALIGNING STUDENTS BY GROUPING TO THE RESOURCES WITHIN THE SCHOOL.
SO WHEN THEY START A NEW UNIT OF STUDY, WHEN IT OF ITEMS SEPARATE, AND THE BLUES TEAM IS WORKING AT IS LOOKING AT STUDENT DATA AND REALIGNING STUDENTS.
SO I MAY BE CRUDE THIS UNIT WITH COLONEL GEIER, BUT IN THE NEXT UNIT OF STUDY, I MAY BE GROWTH WITH MRS. FRUITRIDGE AS MY MEAN TEACHER, BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE A LITTLE MORE STRENGTH IN AREAS THAT I NEED THAT IS RUN A TEDIOUS WORK THAT IS DONE AT ONE OF OUR LARGEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HERE IN BUFORD COUNTY, NEW INITIATIVES.
IF YOU LOOK AT ROMAN NOODLES SEVEN, IS THERE A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENT BEST PRACTICES IN GUIDED READING IN GRADES K TWO TEACHERS ARE IMPLEMENTING JANE RICHARDSON'S FRAMEWORK TO NO IT BOOKS STUDIES THAT WE HELPED SUPPORT IT, RIGID BILL FROM ISD.
SO THE TWO AUTHORS HERE TO OUR SITE AND ACTUALLY BOOK STUDIES EVER CONDUCTED AND THEIR PRACTICES WITHIN THE CAMPUS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? MY LAST CALCULATION.
WE WOULD, I WANT TO SAY ABOUT 1100, THE SCHOOL MAYBE HAD BEEN AT THAT CAMPUS.
THE SCHOOL RUNS LIKE A MACHINE AND I NEED THEM WITH THE WHOLE HEART OF THE CHILD BEING AT THE CENTER, TEACHING AND LEARNING.
BUT HE HAS A STAFF THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO BUILD THAT TYPE OF CONTINUITY.
SO WE LOOK AT PAGE 17, WE HAVE WELL RANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ATSI SCHOOL BASED ON STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
WELL, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS A WORLD-CLASS SCHOOL WHERE STUDENTS ARE BOTH FOCUSED TO BE ACADEMIC AND GLOBAL CITIZENS EMPHASIS ON LEADER.
IN ME FRAMEWORK, THEY SEEK TO BUILD PATHWAYS TO DETERMINE STUDENTS' STRENGTHS AND THE SHARING AND LEARNING RESPONSIBILITIES AND THEIR LEARNING.
THERE'S A SENSE OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS BEING THE BEST OF WHO YOU CAN BE EACH AND EVERY DAY.
ONE VERY STRONG EMPHASIS THIS YEAR AND WILL AND VENTURI.
AND I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE AS THE INTEGRATION AND THE INCREASED USE OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, A LOT OF THIS WORK IS BEING LED BY THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS WILL WORK NATURALLY EQR SCHOOLS, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SPECIAL NOTE HERE FOR WELL, RANCH ELEMENTARY.
YOU NOTICE THE DATA IS AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE, AND IF YOU LOVE TO PAGE 18 UNDER MILESTONES, I DO WANT TO MAKE EMPHASIS IN YOU.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIFTH BULLET ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS AND TOOLS
[03:20:01]
THAT ARE BEING UTILIZED, THE CANVAS IS PRACTICING WITH VISIBILITY.THEY ARE MAKING GAINS AT THEIR CAMPUS.
SO KUDOS SITTING IN PRINCIPAL COACHES HAVE ACTUALLY LOWER PRINCIPALS.
THEY ATTRIBUTE THE GROWTH IN YOUR STUDENT POPULATION WHERE YOU SEE IT ON THE ROAD ROAMING AROUND SIX.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THESE SLIDES, ROMAN NUMERAL SEVEN, GREAT EMPHASIS IN HUMAN CAPITAL.
THAT IS WHAT THE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE LONGEVITY OF TOO PAINFUL HABIT.
AND WE HERE EDUCATORS, I BUILD YOU.
I DON'T WANT TO TRAIN YOU FOR SOMEONE ELSE AGAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS MAKE TO SHARE IT YET.
COVID HAS BEEN UP IN TANDEM WITH CHALLENGE PAGE 19, IF I MAY.
UM, AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE NUMBER AND I'M LOOKING AT ALL STUDENTS, BUT MATH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TREND.
UM, BUT THE READING IS NOT SO IMPRESSIVE.
SO DISCERN EMPHASIS ON HAT ON THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO USE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.
MY WIFE HAPPENS TO HAVE DISAPPEARANCE RELEVANT AND IN ONE CAVEAT, I DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS DATA IS PRESENTED WITH EXTREMELY LONG EXPECTATIONS.
THAT MEANS I'M NOT SHOWING YOU APPROACH.
I'M SHOWING YOU OUR MOST CRITICALLY AT RISK SCHOOLS WITH THE EXPECTATION OF GRADE LEVEL STANDARD STATE ASSESSMENT.
SO WHILE WE SEEK GROWTH AND ALL THE NARRATIVES, YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THROUGHOUT THAN THE NUMBERS, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE STUDENTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN, DOES NOT MEANS.
AND NOW THE PROJECTIONS APPROACH, THAT'S A HUGE WIN.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT THAT.
WE HAVE A COMMON REPORTING REPORT ASSIGN PRIORITY ON MUSIC SEEDS.
PRETTY DEEPLY, UM, THEY'RE GROWING.
ARE THEY AT MEETS AND EXCEEDS YET? NOT YET.
SO THERE'S AN EMPHASIS ON READING AND MATH, BUT PLCS ARE VERY IN DEPTH.
SHAD SAID, THERE IS AN EMPHASIS ON PLC, EXTREME EMPHASIS ON SCHOLASTIC AS WELL WOULD BE SOLID RESULTS FROM, FROM BROAD RIVER LAST YEAR.
SO THAT THE WORK IS BEING DONE.
ARE THE STUDENTS THERE? YEAH, JUST I'D LIKE TO CELEBRATE THAT MATH AND INCREASE THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT THING.
BUT THEN I LOOK OVER THE READING.
I SAY, ACQUIRE BUYERS THAT ARE WHERE THEIR TRUE SELF, THIS CAUSED THAT STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE.
SO IF I COULD SHARE, I KNOW THESE ARE MY NOTES.
THEIR STARS ARE NEXT TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO HAVE ABOUT GRANDCHILD.
I HAVE TO SHARE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THAT NATURE, AS WELL AS YOUR READING.
YOU POOKY ANY QUESTIONS I'M OVER HERE, READING, GOING CHECKS AND STARS AT SOMEBODY'S GROWTH AND THE INITIATIVES THAT ARE HAPPENING AT THE CAMPUS.
SO I DO WANT TO REVERSE YOUR PRINCIPAL, BIG SMILE, BUT I WANT IT RIGHT.
THE EXPECTATION IS MUST CONTINUE, ET CETERA.
ANY OTHER SESSIONS AT SCHOOL? YEAH.
WELL, RANCH, MIDDLE SCHOOL IS ONE OF OUR PRIORITY SCHOOLS.
AGAIN, WE HAVE TWO PRIORITY SCHOOLS IN HIS PRESENTATION, SIX ATSI, WELL GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL AS A POP WITH A PUBLIC SCHOOL.
WHO'S YOUR STUDENTS IN GRADES FIVE TO EIGHT, BUT UPON STUDENTS, POPULATION OF 327 STUDENTS, THE SCHOOL SAW IT SERVES A LARGE RULE WEARABLE AREA.
WHAT AN ATTENDANCE ZONE THAT EXTENDS FROM EUCLID COUNTY, US MARINE CORPS, AIR STATION, TD, TD MSC, SOUTH CAROLINA.
YOU NEED TO THE SCHOOLS WITHIN THE SIERRA SURROUNDING AREA IS A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A TRUE EATER MATTER.
THIS WAS ADDED TO PROVIDE THE REPRESENTATIONS KNOWLEDGE TO EVERYONE.
THIS DOES WHEN THEY GET TO COMMUNITY AND BUILDING AND A COMMUNITY I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN EDUCATION.
THIS SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN TWO, THE UNIQUE DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING LENS FOR STUDENTS SENT TO APPRECIATE THE SURROUNDING AREAS THAT HAD A HOST OF EVIDENCE OF THIS AREA.
I LOVE TO SHARE THAT AS WELL BECAUSE LOOKING AT CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, OUT THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL, THEY'RE A PART OF FACTION
[03:25:01]
PRIOR HISTORY HERE IN THE COUNTY, THAT TEACHERS ACTUALLY GONNA UTILIZE THE APP.AND WE GO TO NEXT PAGE, LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL DATA INCREMENTS OF GROWTH.
IF WE LOOK AT THE SCHOOL MILESTONES AND I DIDN'T WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SECOND BULLET ALL, BUT ONE STUDENT IN YOUR SELF CONTAINED SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASS INCREASED THEIR MATH SCORES AS THEY DID ON THE WINTER MATH.
I THINK THAT'S SIGNIFICANT TO SHARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN A CLASSROOM RECOGNIZE THAT OUR STUDENTS IN A SELF CONTAINED CLASSROOM WHO GIVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COMBINATIONS, AND THIS IS STANDARD CURRICULUM THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE BEING MEASURED.
AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT MR. BELAN SHARING RIGHT OFF ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT IS A MEASURE OF MYTHS HERE ON A STANDARD CURRICULUM.
I WANTED TO ALSO SHARE THAT AS THEIR LEADER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS STRONG GROWTH AND EVIDENCE OF CONTINUUM, THE MODEL.
SO DOES WELL RANCH, MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE WORKING VERY CLOSE AGAIN WITH YOUR EDS.
THIS IS DICKSON IS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB AT MEETING OR PRINCIPALS AND ANY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WE ARE HERE TO ASSIST.
SO AN OBSERVATION, BOTH OF OUR PRIORITY, MIDDLE SCHOOLS, EVERYBODY LEADERS, WE KNOW THE VALUE OF LEADERSHIP AND MOVING SCHOOLS FORWARD.
UM, SO ANOTHER REQUIREMENT OF BOTH OF OUR PRIORITY SCHOOLS WAS FORMATION OF COMMUNITY, UM, COUNCILS OR COMMUNITY GROUPS.
AND, YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF THINGS HAPPENED COVID HAPPENED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP GAME.
SO I'M WONDERING WHERE WE ARE IN THAT PROCESS.
AND IF THOSE ARE GOING, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE.
I THINK IT'S, IT WAS A REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE AS I UNDERSTAND IT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT FORWARD.
IF I SIT HERE AND YOU A RESPONSE I COULD SHARE THAT BUILT IN HIM OUT OF IN SCHOOL, THIS COMING THURSDAY AT ONE O'CLOCK IS AN SIC MEETING WITH REGARD TO BUILDING VOLUNTEERS INTO THE SCHOOL, REACHING OUT TO THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, THE OPPORTUNITY BY WHICH TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP, PART OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING, WHALE BRANCH, MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WELL, OR NSAP FOR HIM IS GOING TO PUSH TO ASSIST WITH THE OUTSIDE COMMUNITY.
COMING IN THAT GRANT HAS GIVEN US AN OPPORTUNITY OF 23 PARTNERS WITHIN, WITHIN BUFORD COUNTY.
SO ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO INCREASE THAT ACCESSIBILITY AND SUPPORT.
I KNOW THAT OTHER PRINCIPAL BOUGHT IN LAST YEAR, WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, NOT THAT INITIATIVES.
I THINK WITH THE PRINCIPAL, JUST STARTING RIGHT NOW, WE WERE FIRST GETTING OUR BEHAVIOR OR ACADEMICS AND GETTING TO KNOW MY STAFF AND MY BUILDINGS NEEDS, BUT I CAN REACH OUT AND GET A LITTLE MORE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH HER WITH, WITH NSAP GRANT FROM FOGGY, BUT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP GROWTH, NO, UM, COUPLE OF THINGS.
R I WOULD SUGGEST YOU LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE OUR AGREEMENT IS A SEPARATE COMMITTEE OF THESE RULES.
I'M NOT AN SIC BECAUSE I RECALL, UM, RECOMMENDING TO, UM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SERVE ON THAT COMMITTEE.
SO I REALIZED COVID IS THERE WAS THROW A WRENCH INTO EVERYTHING, BUT I DO THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY WERE JUSTICE.
THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A, UH, COMMITTEE, UH, WELL, I FIRST GUYS, BECAUSE I ATTENDED THOSE MEETINGS THAT THEY HAD, AND THEN OF COURSE THAT YOU GO WITH IT AND ALL OF THAT SHIFTED REAL ESTATE SHIFTED ON THERE.
PAUSE, LIKE, SHOULDN'T STOP, PAUSE, UH, ALL OF THOSE, ALL THOSE THINGS.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T DO NO.
I WANT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH, WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THEY
[03:30:01]
ALL THE BLOOD, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN TAKE YOU THAT'S IN THAT CATEGORY.JUST KEPT EVERYBODY THAT'S CORRECT.
SO MY SECOND THING IS, UM, THANK YOU, DANIEL, AND, UH, FACTOR STRATEGIES FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THIS AND I WAS REVIEWING IT, UM, BEFORE TODAY, UM, THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION WHERE YOU HAVE ALL THAT PROJECTED.
SO I WAS THINKING, OH, THESE ARE WHAT WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GET ON THE PHONE.
THAT TEST, IT WOULD BE EASIER IF YOU HAD ALL MATH AND THEN PROJECTED PROFICIENCY BELOW THAT, BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE THAT THESE ARE DEFINITE, UM, SCORES OR THESE WERE JUST PREDICTED SCORES.
BUT WHAT WE REALLY NEEDED THIS BASED ON THESE FLOORS IS WHAT THE PROJECTED PROVISIONS HERE.
SO THAT WAS GOING TO BE, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE NITPICKY, BUT IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ARE THESE ACTUAL ORDERS ARE NOT.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALSO STILL HALF A YEAR ON TRUCKS.
I STILL READ A FIVE GRANT ELEMENTARY.
I'M LOOKING AT ONE IN ONE, PROBABLY DID QUALIFICATION NUMBERS.
RIGHT? SO THE ZERO, I GOT SOME QUALIFICATION TOWARDS OTHER SCHOOLS.
SO ZERO MEANS THAT CURRENTLY, OR IN DECEMBER, THEY'RE PROJECTED PROFICIENCY AND NOT HAVE THEM SCORING MEETS OR EXCEED ON A STATE LEVEL STUFF THAT THEY DID.
SO, SO I'M LOOKING AT THE STUDIES SET UP SWD IN THAT CATEGORY 16, AND THAT'S JUST TWO GRADES, RIGHT? ONE 30 TO THREE, JUST THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE, I GUESS FOR THE FIFTH GRADE GOES TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THIS LIKE 27 OTHER STUDENTS, BUT SCHOOL SWP, WHAT THAT NUMBER JUMPS RADICALLY BACKTRACK.
I'M NOT, ESPECIALLY AT LEAST I TURN DOWN, BUT NOT BE TRUE FOR 2 63, 28.
IT GETS A HIGHER POINT IS TO ATTRACT A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS.
THAT'S , THAT'S ANOTHER COMMENT.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT.
IS IT AN OBSERVATION WITH YOU GO OUT TO THE AMOUNT OF POPULATION OF STUDENTS BEING CLASSIFIED WITH OXIDATION, BOTH OF NAMES I'M CHILL, THE CLASSIFIED, AND I'M SURE THAT BEACH CHECKLIST, ALL OF THAT, ALL OF THEM ARE BOTH CONCERNED WITH THAT.
I HAD ALSO THAT LANGUAGE TO GROUP THE GRADES DOES THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT MEETING EFFICIENCY.
BUT I THINK THAT THAT WILL ALSO LOOK A LITTLE BIT DEEPER TO OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD WAS LOST.
AND I'LL CATEGORIZE A LEARNING DISABILITY IF THEY CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH AT HOME.
I NOTICED THAT TOO, WHEN IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFICULT AMOUNT AND DANIEL PROBABLY HELPED BY BEING SET FOR 2010 OF YOUR TEAM WHO STATUS OF THE FAIR, TYPICAL NATIONWIDE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, PERCENTAGE WISE THAT WE HAVE A DISABILITY AND A DRIVEN, BUT YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS IS SOME ADJUSTING, THE SPEECH IEP, OR THIS IS SOMEONE, YOU KNOW, SO CERTAINLY, BUT, BUT WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S 328
[03:35:01]
AND 65 THAT'S 20%.SO MY QUESTION IS THOUGH, UM, AS I, AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH ALL THESE AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE AT THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND SOME SCHOOLS HAVE REAL CENTRAL ORTON-GILLINGHAM, WHICH IS VERY MUCH THE SAME, UM, WHERE THEY HAVE SCHOLASTIC LITERACY AND IN THOSE PARTICULAR SCHOOLS YOU DO SEE SOME GROWTH ROD RIVER AND SOME BREADCRUMBS CLASSIC LITERACY, BUT THEN IN OTHER SCHOOLS IN EUROPE, THEY DIDN'T A NUMERATED HERE, OR MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE THEM.
WHAT'S THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND TAKING THOSE PROVEN PROGRAMS, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, WE KNOW WILSON, THEY WEREN'T YELLING AT WORKS.
SO HOW ARE WE ENCOURAGING OUR OTHER SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT UTILIZING THESE PROGRAMS THAT ARE SEEING SUCCESS AS EVIDENCED BY INCREASED STUDENT SCORES? HOW ARE WE ENCOURAGING THE OTHER SCHOOLS TO UTILIZE THESE PROGRAMS? SO ONE INNER CRITICAL.
THIS IS FRIDGES TO THE UTILIZATION OF SCHOLASTIC, THE MONSTER SCHOOL.
SO A LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY THAT IS A FIRST LAUNCH OF BAM.
BE VERY DIRECT, BUT NEW PRINCIPALS TAKING UP AND NEW YOUR PERSONNEL AND BUILDING THAT CAPACITY.
WE HAVE NOT SAID THAT WE'RE NOT UTILIZING ORTON-GILLINGHAM PAT HE'S OUT OF SCHOOLS IS SIGNED.
LOOK, ROTATIONAL TRAINING OPENS UP THIS SUMMER AGAIN THROUGH DR.
WHITE, BECAUSE IT IS A FROZEN AND I SHARING THE BABY.
WHY THE STRUGGLE IN A STUDENT IS NOT READING, ESPECIALLY ACQUIRING FUNDAMENTAL READING SKILLS BY SECOND GRADE, AS I SHOULD BE PRIMARILY BEING UTILIZED WHEN EITHER WILSON OR WASN'T FOR OBJECTS.
SO IF THAT IS STILL ON OUR PLAN FOR INTEGRATING INTO OUR SCHOOLS, BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THE RESULTS OF UTILIZING TOO MUCH, TOO FAST WITH NEW ADMINISTRATION, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET GOOD.
AT MANY THINGS, INTERVENTIONS ARE BEING UTILIZED.
THEY ARE UTILIZING IREADY AS WELL.
WHAT OUR STUDENTS, AND THEN THE TRAINING, THE CAPACITY BUILDING A FEW OF THESE SCHOOLS IN HERE THAT DON'T LIST OCI.
THAT IS OUR PRIORITY PRIORITY LIST FOR US, AS WELL AS THE INTEGRATION OF THE CYA TRAINING.
THAT WAS ALSO IDENTIFYING, I THINK THE MORE WE SPEAK AND WORK WITH OTHERS ARE OPEN MORE TO SAY WE WANT, AND WE NEED HERE IN AN OPEN DISCUSSION, KNOWING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD THE CAPACITY TO HELP WITH THE SCHOOL IN ORDER TO INCREASE TEACHING AND LEARNING.
SO IT IS A NEXT PHASE OF INTEGRATION.
WE ALSO HAD ADDITIONAL WORK COMING INTO THESE SCHOOLS.
THEY'RE BECOMING FROM A NEW ADOPTED THREE IT'S A STATE REQUIREMENT.
THEY HAVEN'T LANDED YET, BUT WE HAVE ONE WORKER FROM SUPPORT COMING INTO A FEW OF OUR NEEDIEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
BUT THE SUMMER POULTRY TRAINING IS ANOTHER OPTION.
SO I GUESS I JUST WONDER, WILL WE SEE SOME OF THESE SCORES AND THEIR JAR, HOW LONG AN OPTION IS ON THE TABLE AS COMPARE TO THIS AS WELL? YES.
HE HAD JUST MOVED BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, TRICIA.
UM, SO LET'S THE TYPICALLY THE NATIONAL AVERAGE YOU SAID FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, LIKE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 10 AND 15, SO MAYBE SOMETHING EXCUSES, OF COURSE, THERE'S THAT? UM, UH, WELL, RANCH ELEMENTARY.
IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE LITTLE THAT WELL, BRANCH ELEMENTARY HAD THE SMALLEST NUMBER OF ALL STUDENTS, BECAUSE IT'S ONLY TWO GRADES THAT ARE TESTED ON THIS DATA TABLE, WHEREAS ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE OR THREE GRADES, AND THEN YOU GET TO THE WELD RANCH, MIDDLE, YOU GOT FOUR GRADES THAT ARE COUNTED.
SO THAT MAY BE WHY IT'S A LITTLE BIT SKEWED.
IT'S CERTAINLY PERCENTAGE WISE IT'S HIGH BECAUSE WE LOOK AT, I GOT THE SAME, YOU KNOW, THE 20% AT THE WELL RANCH MIDDLE, AND IT WILL RANCH ELEMENTARY IN 16% AND JUST STILL HIGHER THAN WHAT YOUR QUOTE IS NATIONAL AVERAGE.
SO THERE MUST BE, UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THERE'S, UH, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN GRADES YOUNGER THAN THIRD ELEMENTARY, BECAUSE LET'S SAY SECOND AND FIRST WE DIDN'T HAVE TO THEM TO MOVE TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL OR WHATEVER TO GET THERE IS IF YOU'RE SICK AND YOU SEE THAT PLAY OUT WITH, UM, UH, ESL STUDENTS OR HISPANIC STUDENTS, WHEN THERE'S A LANGUAGE ISSUE, IT MAY NOT BE THAT THAT THERE'S A COGNITIVE ISSUE, RIGHT.
IT JUST MIGHT BE A LANGUAGE ISSUE, BUT THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF IN, IN A SIMILAR TYPE OF WAY.
I SAID, THEREFORE, UM, THERE MIGHT BE A DOUBT, SO LET ME GET IT.
[03:40:01]
SO LOOKING AT THE OVER IDENTIFICATION IS, IS IMPORTANT AND IT'S TRUE, THE SMALLER SCHOOL AND THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE, THE GREATER, THE PROBABILITY OF THAT CLASSIFICATION ALSO IN RELATION TO THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PLACED THERE.SO YES, AND THEN IT BECOMES HARD ON HOW DO YOU REALIGN THAT AND NOT SUBJECT STUDENTS TO SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANT LENGTH OF TIME COMMUTATING FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER IN ORDER TO PLAY THE NUMBERS GAME.
SO NOW, WHICH WAY DO WE LOOK AT INSTRUCTIONAL DAY OR WEEK THREE, WE LOOK AT IT FROM A METRIC PERSPECTIVE AND THAT'S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO AS WELL.
THE SMALLER THE POPULATION, THE GREATER RATHER THAN REALLY YES.
MR. SMITH, JUST TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT MY QUESTION WOULD BE AT THAT SCHOOL.
IS THERE A, IS THERE A SPECIAL SPED TEACHER THERE? I DON'T HAVE STAFFING WITH ME IN FRONT OF ME AND I DO APOLOGIZE, BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS, BUT I CAN GET THAT SNAP AND INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO YOU, BUT I AM CONFIDENT.
THIS IS THAT I JUST DON'T WANT TO SAY A NUMBER TO YOU WITHOUT HAVING THAT REPORT IN FRONT OF ME AND ASSESSMENT, MEANING THAT RESOURCES DO DOWN IN, I WOULD WONDER IF THAT MAYBE MAGAZINE LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, WOULD THEY POSSIBLY BE, PART-TIME SPED UP TO, TO POSSIBLY HELP WE DON'T WANNA OWN ONE PERSON, YOU KNOW, UM, WHICH I HAVE TO RETAIN TEACHERS AND RETAIN STAFF NUMBER.
THEN THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF MOVING ALL THOSE THINGS FORWARD.
UM, YEAH, JUST ASK IT THE SAME WAY I ANSWERED IT EARLIER, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S ABOUT SCARCITY, RIGHT, RIGHT.
ON LIMITED, LIMITED RESOURCES.
AND SO, SO IT'S, IT'S AN IMPORTANT ASSET, WHICH MEANS ON THE HALF.
UM, WHAT, THEY'RE JUST NOT OUT THERE AND THEY'RE THERE, BUT IF WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON THEM, BE HAPPY TO HIRE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S THE SAME, IT'S THE SAME ISSUE OF THE SHORTER.
TO IS MORE VERSUS NOT HAVING ANY OFF OPTIONS, UTILIZE WHAT WE ARE TO MAKE WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK.
I, ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF ME, I'LL BE TIRED NUMBERS OUT THERE.
WHAT IS NORMAL? THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND IF YOU COULD FIND THE ADDITIONAL STAFF YOU'D HIRE, I MEAN, WE CERTAINLY HAVE ACROSS THE DISTRICT IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OR DIFFERENT AREAS THAT IF YOU COULD FIND A TEACHER WHO WILL HIRE, YOU ARE ALSO SAYING THAT YOU DO IT.
I'M ASKING YOU, I'M ASKING YOU IT'S THESE THINGS THAT IF WE HAD THE RESOURCES , I'M NOT TALKING TO THE BRONX, IS THAT IT'S NOT A MONETARY RESOURCE ISSUE.
IT'S IT'S A, IT'S IT'S, IT'S FINDING A SPECIAL ED TEACHER THAT, THAT WILL APPLY FOR A POSITION AND GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE.
THAT'S THAT'S, THAT'S THE ISSUE.
, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO BE JUMPING ON.
THAT'S NOT COMING ACROSS, BUT IT'S NOT.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND WE HAVE RESOURCES THEN WE WOULD .
I'M STILL UNSURE WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD QUESTION FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
GRADUATES KEY WORD BANKS TO COMPETE.
THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN I'VE OFFERED, SEEN THE NEED TO LOOK NO FURTHER AND LOOK AT OUR AGENDA AND SEE THE HOOP
[03:45:04]
THAT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT A COUPLE OF TIMES, DIFFERENT PLACES, ESPECIALLY FOR YOU GUYS.I WANTED TO CLARIFICATION SAYS EVERY QUESTION TO MYSELF, WE ALL NEED TO LOOK AT IT, PUT IT OUT, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE DO NEED TO PUT OUT THE SAME THING.
THE ALL RIGHT, BROTHER, MAN, STOP.
BE EXCUSED PERHAPS AS THE FUTURE.
I CAN SENSE THE CREATIVE JUICES VOLUNTEERS.
BUT BACK IN DIVERGENCE A LITTLE BIT, I JUST WANT TO ANSWER MRS. SMITH'S CONCERN ABOUT THE SPED TEACHER BRANCH ON THE SCHOOL.
THERE ARE NO VACANCIES INSPECT THEIR TEACHERS.
THEY'RE ALL HERE TO TEACHERS, SEL SCHOOLS, BILL VACANCY, SPEECH TEACHER, AND THAT'S BEING PUBLISHED BY.
SO WE ENGAGE IN, WELL, THINK ABOUT VOLUNTEERS.
WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE PROCESS AND VOLUNTEERS JUMPS BECAUSE IT REALLY IS THREE CHOPS.
IF NOT ALL, ONE FACET VOLUNTEERS SELLS THE RESPONSIBILITY AS THE THREE CLASSES, SCHOOL, HR LEVEL, AND THEN COMMUNICATION STUFF.
SO THE SCHOOL LEVEL IS WHERE YOUR VOLUNTEERS INTER THIS GO HERE, WHERE VOLUNTEER TIERS ARE, WHERE THEY SHOW UP TO SALE, VOLUNTEER, WHERE THEY SAY THIS, THE REALITY, WE DON'T DETERMINE THAT THE DISTRICT DOESN'T DETERMINE THE VOLUNTEERS THEMSELVES DETERMINE WHERE THEY WILL BE.
SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THEN KEPT HAVING A VETTING PROCESS THAT STARTS AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
AND WE MANAGE THAT PROCESS BECAUSE IT IS A PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO ENSURE ALL PEOPLE OUT OF BUILDINGS ARE SAFE AND SECURE TO BE ALMOST A SHELTER.
SO WHAT WE DO FOR BUILDINGS IS WE CREATE A STRUCTURE ABOUT WHICH THEY CAN BRING VOLUNTEERS INTO THEIR BUILDINGS.
WE TRAIN THEM AS TO HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM THAT WE USE TO THAT VOLUNTEERS.
SO VOLUNTEERS COME, THEY ASKED IF THEY CAN BE THERE AND GIVE THEM DIRECTIONS AS TO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO BE AN APPROVED BUG TIER.
WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR VOLUNTEER PRIVILEGES, LAPSED, THE SCHOOL LEVEL NADER CAN, HAS DROPPED THOSE VOLUNTEERS AS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO BECOME LOUD.
WE ALSO TRAIN LOCAL SCHOOL VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS AS TO HOW TO PINCH YOUR PROCESS IN THEIR THERE.
SO PRINCIPALS USE VOLUNTEERS BASED ON WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND HOW THEY OPERATE.
WE DON'T DETERMINE THAT DISTRICT FILM.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT INDIVIDUALS WANT
[03:50:03]
OR NEED IN THEIR BUILDING.SO HOW DO WE ADVERTISE AND HOW DO WE ENGAGE VOLUNTEERS AFTER THAT COMES, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT MARKETING AND THAT WOULD GO INTO COMMUNICATIONS AND I'LL KNOW THAT CAN SPEAK TO THAT BECAUSE SHE CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HEAR ON TV OR WHAT'S ON TARGET TO TRY AND BRING IT BACK.
SO YOUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IS VERY EXCITED TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY ON THE TOP OF THE LAW THEORY.
AND YOU KNOW, ALSO BECAUSE IT'S VERY SYMBOLIC OF A RETURN TO FALL ASLEEP, WHICH I KNOW WE ALL DESPERATELY WANT.
RIGHT? UM, ASPHALT MENTIONED, WE KNOW, SCHOOLS KNOW THEIR VOLUNTEER NEEDS THE BEST AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF VOLUNTEERS REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL THAT THEY WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT DIRECTLY THAT SAID THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AT THE DISTRICT CAN CERTAINLY ASSIST SCHOOLS, BUT GETTING THE WORD OUT TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.
SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY TEAM, WE AGREED THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE VOLUNTEERS WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO PROMOTE THE, A VIA A SIGNIFICANT MARKETING PR CAMPAIGN, A VERY POSITIVE ONE, SOME POSSIBLE CAMPAIGN SLOGANS WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE, AND THESE ARE HASHTAGS TO ENGAGE IN YOUR SCHOOLS, SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOLS, COMING TOGETHER FOR BCSD COMING TOGETHER FOR BUFORD COUNTY, REENGAGING AND REIGNITING NOW ARE JUST SOME INITIAL CONCEPTS.
AND I'M SURE MORE WILL DEVELOP AS THE CAMPAIGN IS FURTHER DEVELOPED AND TIMES.
I KNOW YOU ARE A LOT FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS WHO WANTS TO GET BACK INTO SCHOOLS.
SO IF THERE'S ANY REPEATING THEME THAT YOU CONSISTENTLY HEAR FROM THEM, BY ALL MEANS, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL AND I'LL THROW THAT OUT THERE WITH MY TEAM.
AND, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE, SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE DR. RODRIGUEZ SAID, PEOPLE WERE LIKE, HOW CAN I HELP? YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT COMING TOGETHER AND HELPING EACH OTHER, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR US TO KNOW, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING TO US, BUT NOT NECESSARILY COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE YOU DO.
UM, AS PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN, WE WOULD PROVIDE SCHOOLS WITH OR CEREALS THAT THEY NEED IN ORDER TO, UM, PUSH OUT AWARENESS ABOUT THIS.
AND I WILL SAY TOO, I THINK A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS, UM, ONCE THEY KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN GO BACK TO THE SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLS WALK THEM.
LIKE I THINK PEOPLE ARE KIND OF ITCHING TO GET BACK IN SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, AND CONTRIBUTE.
BUT, UM, WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM WEBSITE, SLIDER GRAPHICS FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL SITES, UM, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THEY CAN SHARE ON THEIR SCHOOL PAGES, UM, AND FLYERS THAT THEY CAN DISTRIBUTE THESE VR PEACH JAR SYSTEM.
NOW AS A DISTRICT, WE CAN ALSO DO OUR TYPICAL LIKE MEDIA RELEASE THAT WE PUSH OUT, ENCOURAGING THE COMMUNITY TO REACH OUT TO THE LOCAL SCHOOL OR VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.
UM, WE COULD HAVE RON LOVES, UM, PRODUCE SEVERAL VIDEOS, HIGHLIGHTING INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS, UM, AND GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS.
AND ALSO WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING TO DO SOME PODCASTS LATER THIS YEAR, WHICH WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
UM, WE'LL HAVE A LARGE PRESENCE ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE, AS WELL AS A LINK TO VOLUNTEER INFORMATION UNDER OUR COMMUNITY TAB.
UM, AS ALWAYS, WE CAN DO A ROBO CALL FROM DR.
RODRIGUEZ TO PARENTS, WELCOMING, WELCOMING THEM BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS.
UM, AND I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE AS WELL.
THE MSAT GRANT THAT GRANT HAS 23 LETTERS OF COMMITMENT OF SUPPORT OR A MEDTECH SEVEN SCHOOLS.
AND SO ONCE MORE MEMBERS OF THAT TEAM ARE ONBOARD AND HIRED, THEY WILL BE ENGAGING, RECRUITING THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH BACKGROUNDS IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY AND THE ARTS.
SO SERVE ON VARIOUS COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES AS WELL AS PROVIDE INDUSTRY ENRICHMENT AND MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
SO IN SUMMARY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO PUSHING THIS INITIATIVE FORWARD AS PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN AND PROVIDING SCHOOLS, BUT THE MARKETING MATERIALS THINGY TO EFFECTIVELY RECRUIT VOLUNTEERS DO BEST BUILD THEIR INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL BEETS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS.
WE ALSO NEED TO TALK ABOUT AN ORGANIZATION AND I'LL SAY ON THAT, I CAN LET DR SHADOW SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF, UM, MS. DANTZLER, OUR COMMUNITY PERSON SHE'S AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING, BUT I THINK SHE'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THAT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, FRIENDS WITH HUNTING ISLAND PROGRAM, THAT THEY WANT CHILDREN TO THE PARK TO GIVE THEM INSTRUCTION, EXPERIENTIAL INSTRUCTION ON SALTMARSH AND LIGHTHOUSE AND SO ON.
UH, WE'VE GIVEN OUT INFORMATION, UH, YOU GIVE IT TO THE PRINCIPALS TO GIVE TEACHERS AND NO ONE'S TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
AND SO THAT ORGANIZATION SAYS WHAT'S GOING ON? AND I SAID, WELL, WE HAVE
[03:55:01]
COVID RESTRICTIONS.WE NEED TO TELL OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, OPEN FOR BUSINESS, COME ON DOWN.
AND THEN WE GOTTA FOLLOW UP IN ORGANIZATIONS THAT REACHED OUT TO US AND SAY, WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
THAT'S HELPFUL FOR US TO KNOW TOO.
YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THAT, THAT ISN'T GETTING THE RECEPTION THAT YOU NEED, BECAUSE I CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TALK TO DR.
LIKE IF THERE'S A COMPONENT THAT WORKS WITH THEIR GRADES A LITTLE BIT, IT SUPPORTS YOU HAVE.
AND SOMETIMES I DO THINK YOU'RE READY TO GO WITH COVID, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, BUT YEAH, NO, YEAH, YES WE HAVE.
NOW YEARS AGO WE HAD, UH, WHEREAS IT MOVES ERECTED VOLUNTARYISM AND THE DISTRICT AND NEW GENERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
AND IT WON'T BE ONLY ISSUE WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WITH ONE OF THE HEALTH AND HOW THEY WANT IT TO HELP.
I VISITED THE SAME KIND OF EFFORTS CAN BE MADE WHERE WE CREATE A DATABASE OF OUR QUALITY TERRORISM SPEAKS TO THOSE GUYS.
THEY SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER FOR A DIFFERENT DOCTOR.
WE JUST MENTIONED THE REAL ESTATE TEAM BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE VOLUNTEER THEIR MAJOR EMPLOYERS.
I'M SAYING THAT'S GREAT TERRORISM.
IF WE GET THAT BIG LISTS, WE'LL USE THEM.
BUT WHEN YOU START ASKING THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS TO FIND THEIR ROLE AND TO HAVE ONE THAT FIT, THAT'S A TOUGHER JOB THAN JUST CREATING A BIG SPACE.
AND MY MIND I'VE USED ONE STAKE IN, IN TERMS OF SCHOOL, UH, THE VOLUNTEERS THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY GET, UM, YOU KNOW, AS TWO YEARS, MARK MR. CAMPBELL, A LOT OF TIMES OUR PARENTS CONTRIBUTE FOR COUPLE OF HOURS THIS DAY THAN OTHER PARENTS.
UM, THE BIGGER VOLUNTEER PICTURE, UH, NOT ONLY INCLUDES THEM, BUT LIKE FRIENDS OF FRIPP ISLAND ORGANIZATION OUT THERE THAT, UH, BRINGS IN MASHING UP ROLLED.
WE NOW MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS AND, AND THEN WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY'VE DONE IT.
UH, THEY DID IT AT THE BEGINNING WHEN I WAS HERE.
UM, AND I LEARNED MORE ABOUT ABREAST TRIO THAN I EVER KNEW.
UM, BUT THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, SAY FOR PRESIDENT OF FRANCE, THAT THAT'S THE COW, RIGHT.
THAT THEY WERE BRINGING IN AND THEY WERE PLAYING ON THE WEEKEND.
BUT THEN ON MONDAY THEY WOULD SELECT FOUR SCHOOLS AND THEY WOULD BRING THEM TO OUR SCHOOL.
SO, SO TH TH THAT'S A BIGGER, UH, LOOK, UH, WHICH I THINK IS JUST YOU AND, UH, MR. GEIER TALKING ABOUT WHAT THOSE TYPES OF VOLUNTEERS WHO MAY NOT BE YOUR TRADITIONAL, UM, VOLUNTEER THAT KEEPS OUR SCHOOL SHOW, RIGHT? THIS IS A DIFFERENT GROUP THAT HAS ANOTHER ROUND.
I FORGOT WHERE WE WERE AT AGE.
UM, JUST AN INTERESTING STATISTIC WHEN WE TRANS TRANS FORM OUR VOLUNTEER SYSTEM BACK IN ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO, WHEN WE BROUGHT VOLUNTEERS IN KIND OF LIKE THE, WHO WESSELS DID WE HAD ON RECORD ABOUT $2,500.
[04:00:01]
CREATE A WEBSITE, VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS, WHEN WE WERE UP STRONG AND WE HAD 7,500 ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS, AND THAT WAS ALL GENERATED.SO THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT BEING VISIBLE WITH WEBSITE ACT TOO.
AND PEOPLE INTERVIEWING THE, KNOWING THAT THERE IS A SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN GET INTO IN TERMS OF THANK YOU.
UM, SO I, I AGREE WITH, UH, MR. CAMPBELL AND COLONEL GUY, BECAUSE WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, I DO THINK PARENTS DIDN'T, I USED TO GO AND THEY WANT TO HELP OUT AT THE, YOU KNOW, PTSO AND OUR KID'S SCHOOL TYPE OF THING.
THAT'S ONE KIND OF VOLUNTEER, BUT I THINK BECAUSE OF COVID, UM, THAT WE HAVE SORT OF A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SORT OF REOPEN OR RE-IMAGINE HOW WE USE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN OUR SCHOOLS.
UM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT THE COVID PANDEMIC MOST IMPACTED YOUNG PEOPLE, THAT THEY MADE THE LARGEST SACRIFICES.
UM, THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT WE'RE COMING UP ON THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY FROM WHEN THE SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED.
UM, AND SO I'M THINKING AGAIN, LIKE HAVING JUST SORT OF A THROWING UP INTO THE DOORS, UM, AND SAYING LIKE, WE NEED HELP.
WE, YOU KNOW, WE DO, WE HAVE ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO GET DONE.
UM, SO IT'S HARD TO FIND STAFF OR PEOPLE DESPERATELY WANT TO COME IN WITH THAT SORT OF ALL HANDS ON DECK MENTALITY FOR VOLUNTEERING.
AND I THINK THAT THERE'S A WAY TO DO IT THIS TIME, IF WE DO IT THOUGHTFULLY, WHERE WE CAN ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME IN AND I'LL GIVE AN EXAMPLE, UM, FORAY, I DID NOT SAY COREY MAURY COUNTY, UH, HAS A, UH, SICK PROJECT, 65 O'CLOCK.
AND FOR VOLUNTEERS OVER 65, THEY GET FREE TICKETS TO FOOTBALL GAMES AND THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY CONNECTION.
AND MAYBE THEY DON'T USE IT, BUT KNOWING THAT THEY COULD BE INVITED TO, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE GRANDPARENTS AS MUCH AS WE DO, A LOT OF US HAVE RELOCATED HERE AND OUR GRANDPARENTS WERE IN OHIO OR CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK.
UM, AND SAME THING HERE WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED HERE FOR RETIREMENT, WHOSE KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL IN ILLINOIS, CURATOR CONNECTION.
UM, AND THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP, I THINK, COULD GO A LONG WAY TO SOLVING SOME OF THE SHORTAGES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
UM, AND THEN AS MR. CAMPBELL SAID, IF WE HAVE A DATABASE, WE NOW HAVE THE ABILITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY TO TRACK.
IF SOMEONE LIKE AT MY CHURCH SAYS, I'D LIKE TO HELP IN THE SCHOOL, I'M A GARDENER.
CAN I COME IN AND HELP WITH SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, PLAY WITH THE POTS THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THAT PROGRAM AND HELP, AND WE ALL HELP THESE COURTYARDS AND THEY GET KIND OF MADE YOU WHAT, EVEN WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT COME IN AND SPRUCE THEM UP, KNOWING THAT PERSON, GETTING THEM IN THE SYSTEM BY INTEREST SO THAT IF WE HAVE A GARDENING PROJECT THAT WE WANT TO DO, LIKE A, A SCHOOL BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT, WE CAN IMMEDIATELY SEND OUT AN EMAIL TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THAT INTEREST.
AND SO WE'RE KIND OF RECRUITING THEM INTO THE SCHOOL.
I JUST THINK THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND THE OTHER THING I'LL SAY ABOUT IT, BEING AN OPPORTUNITY IS WORKING WITH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
WE HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT WE WASN'T GIRLS SCOUTS A GREAT ORGANIZATION.
THEY'RE WILLING TO DONATE MONEY WHEN THEY COME IN AND DO A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL, ESPECIALLY IF THE KIDS ARE THERE AND THEY SEE THE KIDS, THE AMOUNT OF INVOLVEMENT THEY WANT TO HAVE A NEW MEDICINE SUPPORT THAT, THAT BUILDS WITH THAT A POTENTIAL DONOR IS TREMENDOUS.
IT GOES FROM, I'LL GIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED DOLLARS CHECK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO A $10,000 CHECK.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? AND WE NEED TO CREATE THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY BUY-IN IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THINGS LIKE RAISING TWO HOURS, WHICH I THINK WE NEED TO DO A SECOND FROM MIRANDA.
SO I THINK THAT THERE'S SO MANY, UH, POSITIVE POSSIBILITIES THAT COME OUT OF, UH, A VERY, A MORE COMPREHENSIVE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, WHICH THAT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION.
THERE WAS A QUESTION IN THERE.
AND, UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
SO ARE OUR SCHOOLS OPEN TO VOLUNTEERS? YEAH, WE ARE.
YOU ARE OPEN TO VOLUNTEERS AND SCHOOLS HAVE, YOU KNOW, AT DIFFERENT STAGES, UH, IN THAT WE DO HAVE SOME VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE ALREADY BUILDING CERTAIN THERE'S OVER A THOUSAND REGISTER WAS HERE RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE IS THE MOMENT.
SO, UM, SO, SO THERE IS, THERE IS THAT, BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S BEEN JUST SORT OF LIMITED AS SCHOOLS, AS SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN TRANSITIONING, YOU KNOW, BACK WITH COVID AND ALL THAT.
WHEN IT SUBSIDED, THEY, WE SAID AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS, RIGHT.
UM, WE DID, WE DID PUSH OUT A BIG MARKETING CAMPAIGN AROUND IT YET BECAUSE OUR SCHOOLS WERE JUST RE UH, REENGAGE.
AND SO A LOT OF WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW ARE, ARE, ARE MOMS AND DADS, UH, WHO, WHO CAN GIVE
[04:05:01]
A COUPLE HOURS AND VOLUNTEER OR PTO AND ENGAGE IN VOLUNTEER TO DO SUPPORT THINGS FOR TEACHERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.IT'S WHAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT.
UM, SO IN THAT SENSE, THEY CAN'T ACCESS.
WE'LL JUST NEED TO REACH OUT TO THEIR SCHOOLS.
UH, HOWEVER, UM, WE HAVEN'T DONE LIKE A BIG PERFECT.
SO THE GENERAL IDEAS THAT PRINCIPALS KNOW, I MEAN, THAT WORD IS THAT VOLUNTEERS GOING TO START COMING BACK IN THE BUILDINGS.
I JUST WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT THAT AT THE PRESENT ROTARY MEETING, UM, I ATTENDED OUR PRESIDENT, CAROLYN RUFF ACTUALLY, UH, CALLED UP ON THE D ON THE WEBSITE, ON A COMPUTER THERE, OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE, AND BLOCKED THROUGH EXACTLY HOW TO FILL IT OUT, THE VOTER OF THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION OR EVERY ROTARY NUMBER TO SEE.
SO TO DICK'S POINT, THERE ARE GROUPS OUT THERE THAT HAVE PEOPLE THAT DO WANT TO COME INTO THIS LITTLE BUILDING.
YOU'RE JUST NOT EXACTLY SURE EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT.
SO THERE'S A BOAT THERE'S VOLUNTEER APPLICATION THAT IS ONLINE.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE BANNER GOES ACROSS AND IT SAYS, VOLUNTEER BCS DATE.
AND YOU CLICK ON THAT AND YOU FILL OUT THIS VOLUNTEER APPLICATION.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT QUESTION A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE INTEGRATING THE VOLUNTEERS WITH THE IDENTICAL PORTLAND SCHOOLS, SO IT WILL HAVE SOME FUNCTIONALITY.
SO THERE'S A BASIC SORT OF AN APPLICATION.
THEY FILL OUT ON THE WEBSITE AND THEY SUBMIT THAT, AND THEN THEY RECEIVE A MASTER IDENTITY AND THEN THEY'RE RECEIVED AND INVITED TO APPLY THROUGH STERLING.
SO THE INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE IS POPULATED IN STERLING, AND THEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR BACKGROUND CHECK.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE SOME TRAININGS IN SCHOOLS COMING UP.
WE CAN DO AROUND INTEGRATION WITH STERLING, WHO DOES THE BACKGROUND CHECK AND IDENTIFICATION WAS THAT VISITOR MANAGEMENT COURSE WHERE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS INTEGRATED AND VISITOR MANAGEMENT WAS A VOLUNTEER MATCH.
SO, UM, ONCE THEY SUBMIT THAT THEN USUALLY TAKES, IF, IF THEY'VE ONLY BEEN TO SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENT, USUALLY THE VETERAN WOULD COME BACK AND FILL HOURS.
UM, IT DEPENDS ON THE DIFFERENT STATE THAT THEY LIVED IN, THE MORE STATES YOU'VE LIVED AT.
AND IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY THE BACKGROUND CHECK COMES BACK.
UM, IT USUALLY TAKES, THEY'RE ONLY SENDING OUT BADGES EVERY FEW WEEKS AND THEY'RE NOW GOING TO THE SCHOOL.
SO THEY COME INTO THE SCHOOLS AND THEY CAN JUST PICK IT UP WITH THEIR VOLUNTEER LANYARD AS THEY COMES OUT.
THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
WE'VE NOW GONE TO, AND WITH OUR PAST SYSTEM, WE WERE DOING TO YOUR RENEWABLES, WE'VE GONE TO ONE YEAR WITH OUR NEW VENDOR STERLING.
WE HAVE MONTHLY CHECKS, UH, INSTEAD OF JUST APPROVING IT FOR TWO YEARS AND NOT LOOKING AT IT WITH A NEW VENDOR STERLING, IT CHECKS IT EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
SO IT GOES BACK AND REALLY LOOKS AT THAT VOLUNTEER EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
SO IF THERE WAS A NEW OFFENSE ON IT, IT WOULD THEN GO BACK FOR ME TO RE-REVIEW.
NOW WE MAKE THEM GO BACK THROUGH AND REAPPLY.
HOW DID THEY STILL WISH TO BE A VOLUNTEER, WHICH MAKES WE WOULD JUST READ THEM TO YOU AGAIN.
UM, BUT YEAH, SINCE, SINCE AUGUST WE'VE HAD A THOUSAND APPROVED VOLUNTEERS, I WOULD PROBABLY STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF THOUSAND OUT OF OUR HERITAGE SYSTEM THAT WERE STILL ACTIVE, BUT WE SWITCHED OUT.
SO WE'VE JUST INTEGRATED THAT INTO THE ATTACKING.
JUST TO CLARIFY SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID MISTAKE.
SO DID I JUST HEAR HER SAY SOMETHING ABOUT A FEE PAYING THE FEE? OKAY.
SO THERE IS NO FEE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERSON VOLUNTEER OR NOT GOING TO THE VOLUNTEERS.
WE ALSO USE OUR PORTAL AS A SEPARATE PORTAL FOR VENDORS THAT ARE SMALLER VENDORS, AND THEY PAY THE FEE IF THEY WANT TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT OR THEY, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GO THROUGH ALL THE CHECKS THAT WE WANT.
UM, AND THE VENDORS DO PAY THE FEE, BUT NOT THE BOND.
UM, I THINK IT IS, IT'S TRICKY TO MAKE THE SCHOOL FOR VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT.
CAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF REASONS.
ONE, A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS COME INTO THE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY PARENTS THROUGHOUT THE SLOPE.
SO THE IS NOT NECESSARILY TRACKING THAT.
UM, AND THEN SECONDLY, I DON'T THINK THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS THINK, OH, I WANT TO GO VOLUNTEER AT HILTON HIGH, BUT MAYBE THEY THINK I WANT TO VOLUNTEER IN THE SCHOOLS.
I WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS.
AND IF WE MAKE IT WHERE THEY BASICALLY, IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS YOU FIGURE OUT WHERE THE NEED IS AND THEN SIGN UP AS, OR FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SCHOOL, AS OPPOSED TO WHERE THE NEED IS.
AND I DON'T THINK, UM, SO I BASICALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SIT, ASK IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE COULD MAKE THIS MORE OF A DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITY AND LESS OF A SCHOOL SPECIFIC RESPONSE TO THAT.
SO I THINK, I DON'T THINK WE'RE THAT FAR OFF THAN WHAT WE'RE SAYING.
[04:10:01]
SO, SO WHAT WE FIND MOST OFTEN IS THAT PEOPLE GO TO THE SCHOOL THEY WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT AND THEY CONNECT THEM TO SCHOOL AND THEY SAY, I WANT TO VOLUNTEER WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, OR I WANT TO VOLUNTEER.AND THEY HELP THEM GET INTO THE APPLICATION PROCESS THAT THE DISTRICTS MANAGE THE VOLUNTEER PROCESS THAT RIGHT HERE, AND THEN, AND THEN THE SCHOOL CONNECTS WITH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
BUT I SEE THIS, AND I'VE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, I CALLED IT BEFORE ON MENU OF GIVE RIGHT.
THAT, THAT PEOPLE WANT TO VOLUNTEER.
THEY JUST, SO THIS IS YOUR TRADITIONAL OR GOING TO THE SCHOOL THAT I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE, OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY WANT TO VOLUNTEER.
YOU'RE JUST NOT SURE HOW THEY COULD BE UTILIZED OR, OR, OR HOW TO, UM, UH, UH, HOW, HOW THE SCHOOLS OR DISTRICT CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUPPORTS THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO PROVIDE.
SO, SO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IN TERMS OF GATHERING A DATABASE OF SKILLSETS AND INTERESTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, THAT THAT'S A VALUABLE PIECE TOO.
I THINK THAT, THAT, THAT WE CAN LOOK AT THAT THAT WOULD BE MAYBE BEYOND WHAT THE SCHOOL LEVEL, UH, VOLUNTEER AND SUPPORT IS THAT BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE, I THINK WE GET GO RIGHT TO THE SCHOOL AND SAY, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? WELL, VOLUNTEER.
AND I AGREE, THE VAST MAJORITY ARE COMING IN SAYING, HEY, MY KID GOES TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OR, HEY, I'M DOING VISION SCREENING WITH THE LION'S CLUB.
SO THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, BUT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT ARE SAYING, HEY, I JUST MOVED INTO THE AREA AND I'M LIVING ON CAMPUS AND I WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE INTERESTING QUESTION IS, ARE WE ONLY SEEING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO VOLUNTEER GOING SPECIFICALLY IN SCHOOL? SO THAT'S ALL WE'RE CAPTURING OR IS THERE AN UNTAPPED RESOURCE? AND JUST MY THEORY.
AND I THINK IT'S A TRACKABLE THING BECAUSE WE CAN LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE WE GET OUTSIDE OF RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE ONLY COUNTING PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING.
SO TO SAY, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WE GET ARE COMING THROUGH THAT METHOD, WE HAVEN'T TRIED ANOTHER METHOD AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON HILTON HEAD AND LIKE MY CHURCH, ET CETERA, IS I'M HEARING FROM PEOPLE THAT FEEL THAT COVID IS SO IMPACTED STUDENT LEARNING AND STUDENT WELLBEING THAT THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, YOU'RE NOT IN SCHOOL.
WHAT CAN I DO? I, YOU KNOW, I LIKE, I HAVE A MINI MINISTRY.
I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S JUST RANDOM STUFF, BUT THEY DON'T, THERE'S A LINE THAT, UH, BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY AND A LOT OF PLACES, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THE SCHOOL.
SO THEY WOULD NEVER COME DIRECTLY TO US.
BUT IF THEY COULD COME TO A MORE GENERAL SENSE OF, UM, THE DISTRICT, I THINK WOULD HELP BE HELPFUL.
I THINK THAT'S THE, THAT'S HOW I'M GOING.
I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITY THERE AS WE'VE REIMAGINED THIS AND FIGURE OUT, UM, THESE, THESE, UH, THESE SKILLSETS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY WANT TO ENGAGE AND THEY WANT SUPPORT.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE A DATA BACK THEN ANY SCHOOL THAT DISTRICT TRIED TO TAP INTO THE, AROUND THOSE PARTICULAR SKILL SETS.
UM, I THINK IT CAN WORK BOTH WAYS THE WAY THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ALL ALONG.
UH, AND THEN, AND THEN, UH, IDENTIFYING A BANK OF, UM, UH, KEY SKILLSETS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT HAVE AN INTEREST IN SHARING THAT AND FIGURE OUT HOW BEST TO CAPTURE IT.
AND THEN, UH, THEIR BASE PART'S EASY.
HOW BEST TO CAPTURE IT AGAIN? ARE YOU GUYS ALMOST SOLD EVERYTHING THAT I WAS THINKING? YEAH.
I THINK YOU LEAVE THE DATABASE BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM INSIDE OUT.
IF I'M A CLASSROOM TEACHER AND I NEED THAT OUTSIDE RESOURCE, I DON'T KNOW, FIND THAT PERSON PARTICULARLY, I NEED TO FIND YOUR DATABASE AND SEE IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY ON THERE THAT I NEED.
UM, AND EVERY TEACHER CAN DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, THAT PERSON WHO WANTS TO COME AND VOLUNTEER, YEAH.
THAT PERSON IS SERVED, BUT THE ELDERS THAT WHO WANT TO SERVE ALONE OR HOW TO SERVE NOW, WHAT MESSAGE IS WE WANT, YOU TELL THEM HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO NEED THEM.
THAT'S EMPOWERED BECAUSE A PEOPLE WANT TO SERVE.
WE WANT TO HELP OUT WITH PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO ENGAGE.
[04:15:01]
THAT, I THINK THAT'S ALL THAT WHEN WE GET THAT DATABASE OF ALMOST CLASSROOM TEACHER, A I GUESS SOMEBODY TO SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE THAT I'M TRYING TO BRING TO THESE AND PUT SOME MIGHT COME IN NEXT WEEK, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT I'LL LOOK DOWN THEIR LIST AND GET CRO GUY, YOU KNOW, THROUGH YOUR POINTS.ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE RECENTLY DONE, UM, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, UH, THE AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORTS THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING AND WELL, NORTH NORTHERN FUTURES, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OTHER DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS DO THAT.
NOW WE NOW HAVE SOME MORE FIVE, UH, INITIATIVE WITH, UH, BUT I WAS IN HERE ONE DAY AND DR.
CAMPBELL, WHO WAS COORDINATING THAT WITH, UH, THIS ROOM WAS FULL WITH, UH, WITH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR, THEIR, THEIR TEAM THAT THEY PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING THAT I AGREE, I WON'T GO ON TOO MUCH EXPLICITLY TO KIND OF HIT MY POINTS.
SO THIS IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
I THINK THAT WE HAVE THAT DEFINITELY THAT ARE ONE SIZE SHOOT.
I THINK THERE'S A POINT ABOUT, IT'S NOT THAT I'M AWARE THAT WE ARE DIFFERENT.
WE HAVE A, IT'S HOW WE PACKAGE IT.
WE HAVE PACKAGE A AND PACKAGE B, WHICH AP VERSUS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT VOLUNTEER TO KIND OF KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND WHERE THEY WANT TO GO.
SO WE HAVE THAT ONE TO BE, THE PEOPLE WERE KIND OF JANUARY WHO WANT TO GO, WE ARE NOT SURE WE HAVE OF ROLES OR WHAT PROBLEMS TO DO TO GET, WELL, I WANT TO GET INTO, UNTIL WE PUT IN THAT DATABASE THAT COMES TO MIND HOW WE PACKAGE IT AND HOW AND HOW WE SELL IT AS A DISCOUNT.
THAT'S WHERE THE SEASONS ARE, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT WITH WHOEVER WANTS TO GO WHILST JUST NOT, I MEAN, THAT'D BE, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
I BELIEVE, UM, THIS COMPETENCY THAT THE TWO COLUMNS IN THE PACKAGE.
IT'S LIKE, UM, WHEN WE ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME THAT WE HAD OVER 2000 VOLUNTEERS SEVERAL YEARS, SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SO FOR HIM TO UNDERSTAND, I THINK LOT OF FOLKS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF CONE BECAUSE THE FOLKS GET WANTING TO SHOP .
I THINK ABOUT, UM, I THINK THE PHRASE, THIS AGENDA ITEM ASSUMES THAT ACTUALLY THERE WAS THE CULPRIT IN PROPPING US FROM, YOU SAID, ONE TIME WE HAD 6,500 SHARES.
NOW I KNOW MUCH LESS THAN THAT.
I THINK WE ALREADY ASSUMED THAT IT'S FILTERED, BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE TRUE.
SO SOME RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE, ALL THESE THINGS FOR POCKETING ABOUT, WE NEED TO PINPOINT WHETHER WE'RE SPECULATING OR WHETHER IT'S TRUE.
AND THAT'S THE BOARD CAN'T DO THAT.
I WASN'T SURE I WAS LOOKING AT IT'S HARD BECAUSE I'VE GOT ACROSS FROM EVERYBODY.
I WASN'T SURE IF HE WAS ASKING ME THE QUESTION, WHY DON'T YOU TO ANSWER OR, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT, AND IT'S THE NEXT BITE OF IT IS GOING TO GENERATE SOME CONVERSATION.
ALSO STRATEGIES, TEACHER BURNOUT COULD BE STRATEGIES TO PREVENT TEACHERS.
[04:20:04]
45 MINUTE PRESENTATION, THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE EAT AND SLEEP AND WORRY ABOUT TEACHER RETENTION AND TEACHER TEACHERS.DID YOU BURNOUT WELLBEING OF TEACHERS AND HOW TEACHERS ARE ACTUALLY FEELING? SO I THINK ABOUT TEACHER GROWTH AND YOU'VE PROBABLY DONE THIS WELL, TWO YEARS AGO, TEACHERS AROUND THAT WAS BEFORE THEY RETIRED TWO YEARS LATER HERE IN SOLSTICE.
AND THEY CAN BARELY PUT ONE FOOT IF I'M, YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE NOT IN THE MODE.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS START TO ALLEVIATE IT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AS A DISTRICT, AS AN ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT TEACHERS.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT TEACHERS NEED THE BIGGEST GIFTS THAT WE CAN GIVE TEACHERS.
THIS TIME, MAYBE TIME WE HAVE SOMETHING DRIVE.
THEY HAVE TIME TO DO THEMSELVES.
WHEN THEY WALK IN THE BUILDING IN THE MORNING, THEIR TIME BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHATEVER THEY HAVE PLANNED, IT DOESN'T WORK.
IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S NOT WHAT THEY CAN DO.
SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW WE HAVE SUCKED THE LATE THEIR TIME AND HOW ARE WE TO GET IT BACK TO THEM.
SO THAT'S HOW WE BEGIN TO NBJ.
IT IS REAL AND YOU CAN ALMOST TOUCH IT.
IT'S SO, SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, JUST FIND YOUR BACK IF YOU WANT IT TO SPECIAL.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
SO ASIDE FROM MONEY AND TIME, TEACHERS NEED US TO SERIOUSLY AND COMMIT TO GIVING THEM SOME VALUE.
WE HAVE TO MAKE A SERIOUS COMMITMENT ABOUT RELIEVING BECAUSE WE CAN TALK ALL DAY ABOUT TEACHER BURNOUT, HOW TEACHERS ARE GETTING, THEY ARE NOT AGAIN, THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE JOURNEY.
SO WE'RE TO TALK TODAY JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IN ENTRANCE IN THE POOL THAT CAN YOU GET THAT TEACHER IS STRONG TO HELP ALLEVIATE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BURDEN.
AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF AFTER COVID IS OVER.
IF IT'S OLD TO TRY TO INSTALL AND DEVIATE SOME OF THAT AND GET IT BACK TO WHERE YOUR TEACHERS ARE.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK JILL TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT OR TEACHERS, AND THEN NASHVILLE, AND TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT.
AS WE GET THROUGH THE COVID PERIOD.
AND WE HAD THE REST OF THE TEAM HERE, OR DO YOU HAVE IN-DEPTH QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE THEY'RE THE EXPERTS WHO'VE RUN THEM ON.
I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY OF US CONSIDER OURSELVES EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD, WE'RE NAVIGATING TOGETHER.
BUT, UM, THE WORDS THAT I'VE HEARD TODAY IN THIS ROOM THAT HAVE BEEN REPEATED OVER AND OVER WE'RE IN CHALLENGING TIMES, WE'RE IN DIFFICULT TIMES, WE'RE IN STRESSFUL TIMES.
UM, THIS PANDEMIC HAS CAUSED ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH OUR TEACHERS.
UM, WHETHER THEY ARE INDUCTION TEACHERS BRAND NEW TO THE FIELD, THIS IS THEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OR OUR VETERAN TEACHERS.
SO WHAT IS OUR, WHY? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCUSS STUDENT IN THE HEAT MAP, CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP, EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TODAY POSSIBLE TO TALK ABOUT WITHOUT THE STRENGTH OF A GOOD TEACHER IN EVERY CLASSROOM.
SO I HAVE TO REPEAT WHAT MS. WALTON SAID, OUR CONVERSATIONS AROUND TEACHER BURNOUT ARE CONSTANT THEY'RE DAILY.
THEY HAPPEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK DRIVING.
WE'LL CALL ONE ANOTHER WITH A NEW IDEA.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ANOTHER NIGHT IN DREAMS. WE DO HAVE A TOOLBOX.
OUR TOOLBOX IS NOT PERFECT AND IT'S NOT FULL WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IN OUR TOOLBOX.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GIVE TEACHERS.
SO WHAT WE DO, WE HAVE, THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY.
[04:25:01]
THE PROVERBIAL, WAIT, WHAT DO WE, AS HUMAN RESOURCES HAVE IN PLACE FOR OUR TEACHERS TO PREVENT TEACHER BURNOUT? THE FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS LEAD PROVIDE EMERGENCY PAID SIMPLY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE REQUIRED TO BE ABSENT BECAUSE OF COVID OR A COVID RELATED INCIDENT.SO I'M SURE AS MANY OF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED, SOME OF OUR TEACHERS ARE REQUIRED TO BE OUT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN IN CLOSE CONTACT OR THEY'LL HAVE A CHILD WITH COVID OR A SPOUSE OR A FRIEND CLOSE CONTACT.
SO THIS EMERGENCY PAID LEA IS VALUABLE TO OUR TEACHERS.
THE SECOND POINT I'D LIKE TO BRING UP IS SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED AND CONTINUED OUR AFTER-SCHOOL CARE OR OUR TEACHERS, CHILDREN, OUR STAFF MEMBERS, CHILDREN.
THIS IS FREE OF COST FOR THEM.
THE ORIGINAL INTENT WAS TO GIVE THEM TIME TO DO AS THEY WANTED TO DO WITH THEIR TIME AFTER SCHOOL.
SO THEIR KIDS ARE BEING WATCHED.
I SAID, I COULD GO TO THE GROCERY STORE.
WHAT IS THE REALITY, WHAT TEACHERS ARE DOING AT THAT TIME? THEY WERE PLANNING, BUT WE ARE CONTINUING JUST FREE AFTER-SCHOOL CARE FOR OUR TEACHERS.
THIRD, WE ARE DEPLOYED CERTIFIED TEACHERS THAT ARE HOUSED HERE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, WHETHER THEY ARE INSTRUCTION SERVICES, DEPARTMENT, HUMAN RESOURCES, WE ARE DEPLOYING THESE CERTIFIED STAFF MEMBERS OUT INTO THE BUILDING TO COVER EMERGENCY ABSENCES.
SO AS AN EXAMPLE, OUR TEACHER MENTORS WERE CALLED AND PULLED TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
AND THE VACANCY RATE WAS REALLY HIGH.
THEY WENT IN AND THEY DID WHAT THEY'RE GOOD.
AND WHEN JUMPING IN AND FIXING THE PROBLEM, UM, ANOTHER GORE I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS, WE ARE PAYING OUR TEACHERS WHO COVER CLASSES DURING THEIR PLANNING PERIODS.
SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF YOU HERE WHO ARE FORMER TEACHERS AND, YOU KNOW, THE VALUE OF A PLANNING PERIOD TO CATCH YOUR BREATH, GO TO THE RESTROOM, GET A DRINK OF WATER.
AND THEN HE FELL FROM THE DAUGHTER'S APPOINTMENT.
WE HAVE TEACHERS WHO ARE GIVING UP THEIR PLANNING TIME TO COVER OTHER CLASSES.
WE APPRECIATE THIS SO VERY MUCH.
AND FOR THAT, WE STARTED THIS PROCESS OF PAYING THEM.
WE ARE ALSO PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT SAYING THIS FOR THE BAND.
WE ARE UNDER GUARDING OUR STAFF WITH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
WE HAVE STRESS MANAGEMENT SESSIONS FOR SCHOOL STAFF, ALONG WITH SCHOOL BASED PEER GROUP, MENTORING, COUNSELING SESSIONS.
STAFF MEMBERS NOW HAVE A VENUE TO SHARE COMMON AREAS OF NEED AND COPING STRATEGIES, AS WELL AS RECOGNIZING THEY'RE NOT IN THIS LOUNGE.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A HASHTAG.
THIS IS NOT A GREAT TIME TO RECREATE, BUT THAT'S JUST MY JOB.
I'M THE RECRUITER FOR THE DISTRICT WITH A TEAM OF TWO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A WONDERFUL TEAM.
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE IN OUR POCKET IN OUR TOOL BOX IS THAT WE ARE A FAMILY ORIENTED DISTRICT.
WE DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE.
AND WHEN I'M OUT ON THE ROAD, NOT ANYMORE DURING COVID, WE'LL RUN THE PHONE ON ZEN.
WE LIKE TO TELL OUR PEOPLE WITHOUT TRUTH, YOU COME HERE, YOU'LL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
AND TO THAT END, WE ARE DOING THESE THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
SO THAT IS OUR, THAT IS OUR WHY.
AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE PRESENTLY DOING.
I'M THINKING THAT THE FRIENDS OF HUNTING ISLAND KIND OF GETTING NEAR TO, IF THEY HAD A BONFIRE FOR THE TEACHERS, THEY COME SOME SORT OF ENTERTAINMENT.
THEY COME, UM, I'M GOING TO TURN TO MR. HUTTON AND SEE IF HE'D LIKE TO COME UP.
SO WE DO THESE THINGS AS A TEAM AND HR AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT WE'RE AN UNUSUAL TIMES AND IT'S INTERESTING.
THERE'S THAT LITTLE, UH, KYRA CLAIRE REPAIR PLACE, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF MAIN POINT VOTE HERE THAT SAYS ON THE SIGN, WE'RE TIRED OF BEING PART OF IT.
I LIKE THOSE SIGNS WHEN WE DRIVE BY EVERY DAY.
BUT, UM, MS. PAULSON IS RIGHT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BURNOUT AND BURNOUT, YOU KNOW, AS A RESULT OF THAT, BURNOUT IS AN END STAGE AS A RESULT OF CONTINUED JOB DISSATISFACTION, MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS NOT BEING MET.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE AT THE END STAGE AND PEOPLE ARE HANGING ON BY THREADS.
UM, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE CAUSE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS, WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT, UM, ON THE HEELS OF WHAT MISS MCCADDEN JUST PRESENTED IS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND YOU KNOW WHO WE FORWARD.
ONCE WE COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS,
[04:30:01]
BUT LOOKING TO CONTINUE THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE, UM, GQ SWINTON HAS DONE AN AWFUL LOT WITH EMPLOYEE SERVICES AND BRINGING A MULTITUDE OF, UM, OUTSIDE PARTNERS TOGETHER.AND WE HAVE A COMMITTEE HERE THAT IS WORKING ON LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN SUPPORT PRINCIPALS SO THAT PRINCIPALS HAVE THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR TEACHERS IN DEALING WITH STUDENT, LET'S SAY STUDENT MISBEHAVIORS OR STUDENT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS.
SO THERE ARE A VARIETY OF THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THE AREA OF MENTAL HEALTH, NOT JUST FOR OUR TEACHERS, BUT ALSO FOR ALL EMPLOYEES THAT ALL EVENTUALLY TRICKLE DOWN TO ALL STUDENTS.
UM, SO THERE'S A MULTI, UM, I GUESS A MULTI FACTOR, UM, MULTIPLE FACTORS THAT ARE GONNA COME COME TO THE TABLE THERE.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR CHILDCARE, UH, FOR OUR STAFF MEMBERS.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A, THAT'S A FRINGE BENEFIT.
UM, CHILDCARE, LIKE JILL SAID, IT GIVES PEOPLE TIME TO GET SOME TIME AND GET IT ALL CHANGED.
IT GIVES THEM TIME TO GO TO THE DENTIST'S OFFICE, GO GET GROCERIES, WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO.
UM, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADD ADDITIONAL CLASS PAY.
UM, AND ON THE NOTE OF ADDITIONAL CLASS PAY, I DO NEED TO TAKE A, UH, I HAVE TO DIVERT A LITTLE BIT HERE BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN THE BUILDINGS, WE LOOK AT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE SPENT ON SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS.
AND WE LOOK AT SAYING, WELL, YES, WE HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SO WE CAN GET SUBSTITUTES AND SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS ARE NOT OFTENTIMES CERTIFIED TEACHERS.
AND THERE ARE ENOUGH THAT CHILD'S CLASSROOM TEACHER.
AND REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THAT CASE IS WE'RE LOOKING AT LOST INSTRUCTIONAL TIME FOR OUR CHILDREN.
AND THAT'S LOST INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IS HOURS THAT WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET BACK.
SO IN TALKING ABOUT TIME, GIVING TIME TO TEACHERS, YES, TIME IS SUPER IMPORTANT AND MONEY IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE TOO.
AND I THINK THAT THAT IS A CONVERSATION THAT WILL CONTINUE, UM, AS WE, AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, BUT ADDITIONAL CLASS PAY FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL COVERAGE IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE, UH, TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.
THE OTHER THING IS WE'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING, UM, LOOKING FOR WAYS TO PROVIDE UNENCUMBERED PLANNING TIME.
UM, SOMETIMES ON PAPER YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES OF PLANNING TIME, AND BY THE TIME YOU DROP YOUR KIDS OFF TO SPECIALS, IF YOU'RE AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER AND YOU CHECK YOUR MAILBOX, AND THEN YOU GO SIT IN IEP MEETINGS AND YOU MAY HAVE, YOU MIGHT BE THERE FIVE MINUTES, LIKE IF YOU'RE EARLY TO PICK THE CHILDREN UP AND THEN GET BACK TO YOUR CLASS AND LIKE, UM, JUST THE CABINS WON'T, WE'RE SAYING SEVEN 15 IN THE MORNING WHEN THE BUSES ROLL IN, THAT IS WHEN, WHEN TEACHERS ARE IN CHARGE OF THEIR STUDENTS.
FROM THAT POINT ON, THEY DON'T GO TO THE CAFETERIA, EATING BREAKFAST, THEY GET THE BREAKFAST, THEY GO TO THE CLASSROOMS AND THEY ARE WITH THEM FOR LUNCH PERIODS OR WITH THEM FOR RESTART RECESS PERIODS.
THEY'RE WITH THEM ALL THE WAY UNTIL THAT LAST CAR RIDER LEAVES.
AND THAT'S A LOT OF TIME TO BE ON STAGE IF YOU WILL.
AND THE FINAL THING IS, IS REALLY LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR HUMAN CAPITAL IN OUR BUILDINGS AND FIGURING OUT HOW CAN WE GET CREATIVE TO BUILD SOME SUPPORT TEAMS SO THAT WE CAN OFFER TIME AND LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE MORE TIME FOR A TEACHER.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING AS WE MOVE INTO, UH, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, I'M GOING TO ASK A QUESTION.
WHAT'S INTERESTING, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING, BUT THAT'S ON AND OFF, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE AS YOU SAID, TEACHERS ARE BURNED OUT.
SO EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING IS NOT HAVING TO GET NEW THINGS.
UH, AND THAT'S WHY I'M INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE AND HOW QUICKLY WE CAN DO THAT.
THOSE HAD, AS YOU MENTIONED, WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF USING A FEW MONTHS TO PLAN.
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND WE NEED TO DO A QUICK, BECAUSE THE TEACHERS NEED TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS.
UM, SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
IMMEDIATE SEND SIGNAL TO THE FEATURES THAT, OKAY, THIS IS A MIRACULOUS THING WE'RE GOING TO DO TO GIVE YOU PLANNING ON OR WHATEVER.
SOME WE'VE GOT TO DO SOME, THIS IS SHERMAN HERE.
IF WE HAD A MAGIC WAND, WE COULD INVENT PEOPLE AGAIN, AUDREY PEOPLE BRING IT TO THE BUILDINGS.
WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU HIRE 18 PEOPLE FOR EACH BUILDING TO BE THERE, TO SUPPORT TEACHERS FOR LUNCH BREAKS, PLANNING, PERIODS.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE.
IT'S NOT TAKE EXTRA BODIES BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING CAN'T DO IT.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE PEOPLE IN THE BUILDINGS TO COME WHEN TEACHERS NEED TO GET AWAY.
SO IT NEEDS TO BE A RELIEF TEAM EVERY DAY, BUT WE CAN FIND BODIES.
WE JUST HAD THE VOLUNTEER DISCUSSION,
[04:35:01]
RIGHT? THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE TEACHERS TO BE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM.THAT'S A LUXURY WE DO BE, I'M SORRY.
JUST TELL ME WHAT I GOT IN HERE.
CAN WE MEET SOMEONE TO GREET THE KIDS WHEN THEY GET OFF THE BUS? I CAN DO THAT.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS GET BACK ON THE BUS.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO GO OUT.
THAT'S AN EASY THING FOR THE MARKET.
THAT'S JUST DO IT AND GET PEOPLE OUT THERE AND SAY, TEACHERS, YOUR JOB IS TO CLASSROOMS AND THE OTHER STUFF.
BUT WHEN I WOULD SAY AT A MC AND CRACK AND SCHOOL AND WORKING WITH A TEACHER THERE AS A VOLUNTEER, AND SHE SAID, OH, I'M SORRY.
I GOT TO GO TO THE RESTROOM BECAUSE HE KICKED ME OR I HAVE, I'M GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATE GETTING IN BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE OUT TO MEET THE BUS.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET AWAY WITH THAT AND WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO DO.
I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT STOOD OUT AND EVERY MORNING.
AND EVEN THOUGH I WOULD HAVE A LICE PRACTICE AT SEVEN O'CLOCK ONE AND OUT, AS WE DEEM IN MY ROOM AND GO TO MY ROBOTICS RESPONSIBILITIES AND GOOD THING, WE'LL GO TO THE CAR ONLINE.
AND THE THING, MY STUDENTS WILL VERY INDEPENDENT.
IT WAS JOLTED AND HE KNEW HOW TO MOVE, BUT YES, WE NEED TO USE THOSE VOLUNTEERS THAT CADRE OF PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE THOSE OF US.
I WORKED DOWN THE STREET FROM MY OFFICE DOWN THE STREET FROM BUFORD.
UM, NEVER KNEW WHAT B FIDEL WAS UNTIL I WORK DOWN THE STREET.
BUT ANYWAY, I COULD GO THERE AND STAND AND DO CARDI B.
I CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES OFF OF MY CAUSE I CAN WALK TO, NOW I CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES OFF TO GO DO LUNCH DUTY.
JUST TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
ESPECIALLY AS VOLUNTEERS, WE DO NEED TO RAMP UP THE VOLUNTEERS.
I LET THEM KNOW THIS IS WHERE WE REALLY NEED YOU STANDING IN THE HALL, DIRECT THE KIDS AND LET'S GET THE KRAS.
AND THAT WOULD TAKE A LOT ON THE TEACHERS.
THERE WERE MANY DAYS THAT I WISHED THAT I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THOSE THINGS BECAUSE THERE WERE OTHER THINGS TO DO.
I MEAN, WE NEED TO BUILD THAT INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST, GIVE CERTAIN TEACHERS NEED TIME.
WELL, THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF WE WANT TO GIVE THE TEACHERS TIME THAT WE NEED TO GET OUT, BUILD THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND IT, RATHER THAN VOLUNTEERISM, ALL, ALL MONITORS OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT DAY, YOU KNOW, ACTIVITY THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE ASKED TO DO EVERY DAY, ALL DAY LONG, THAT'S NOT TEACHING.
AND, UM, I THINK WE ARE AT A POINT NOW WITH SCHOOL, WITH THAT, WE'D HAVE TO SHOW UP SOME OF THAT, SOME OF THAT EXTRA WORK WITH SUPPORT, SUPPORT, AND IT'S, AND IT'S NOT EASY, BUT WE JUST DON'T LOVE TERRORISM AS A PART OF IT.
BUT I THINK IT HAS TO BE DESIGNED, YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO BE EQUITABLE AND FAIR APPROACH.
SO YOU HAVE TO DESIGN THAT, NOT JUST SAY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH HOW ARE WE GOING TO HELP YOU? SOME OF THE THINGS IN THERE MIGHT BE TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD MIGHT BE NEXT YEAR.
SO BE WITH US, SOME OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN PLACE AS A PART OF THAT DESIGN INSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE PROCESS AND THE SCHOOLS WE'D GONE OUT, ALL THE MONITORS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TEACH US HOW TO SPEND THIS TIME, DOING IT, YOU KNOW, PLANNING PERIOD TO DO THIS, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE DESIGN AND CAN'T BE HAPHAZARD.
I SPOKE TO THE TEACHER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I WAS THE QUESTION.
[04:40:01]
HAPPIER? WHAT MAKE YOU ABLE TO NOT HAVE THAT LONG LOOK ON YOUR FACE? AND THIS TEACHER SAID SOME TIME, THIS TEACHER SAID, DON'T GIVE ME ANOTHER THOUSAND DOLLARS, ALTHOUGH I'LL TAKE IT, THAT'D BE GREAT.BUT WHAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE IS AVAILABLE TO HAVE LUNCH AND NOT HAVE LUNCH DUTY, OR I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO RIGHT TO MY CLASSROOM AND NOT HAVE CAR DUTY.
I THINK THE IDEA OF HAVING VOLUNTEERS IS FABULOUS, BUT WE GOTTA BE FRUITFUL.
YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO COUNT ON VOLUNTEERS EVERY DAY.
YOU CAN'T SAY, OKAY, TEACHERS, A BIT IEP MEETING AND THIS PERSON THERE, WE WERE AT LUNCH DUTY AND THE PERSON DOESN'T SHOW UP.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE PROCEDURES AT THE SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE TRAINING WITH HOW TO HANDLE CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, MITIGATE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
I MEAN, THAT'S NOT THE SOLUTION.
IT'S FABULOUS HOW TO VOLUNTEER IN THERE.
SO THE TEACHER ON DUTY TO RUN, USE THE RESTROOM OVER FIVE MINUTES, BUT COME RIGHT BACK.
BUT TWO NOW TO EXACTLY NOW YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S GOT TO BE A LONGTERM STRATEGY.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS TEACHER DID SAY TO ME WAS PLEASE GET HALL MONITORS OR SOMEONE THAT SOMEWHAT, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A HALL MONITOR.
I JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE THAT CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
AND SO YOU HEAR ABOUT TEACHERS THAT ARE COVERING DURING THEIR PLANNING PERIOD.
MAKING SEMESTER MONEY AND THAT'S GREAT.
BUT ARE THEY MISSING PLC? ARE THEY MISSING THEIR PLANNING WITH HER? I MEAN, THERE'S JUST, IT'S GOT TO BE A LONGTERM STRATEGY AND DR.
RODRIGUEZ, I WOULD REALLY HELP THAT WE HAVE IN A PINEAPPLE TIP YOU TEACHERS BACK AT TIME, YOU DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER INDUSTRY WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WHERE THEY HAVE TO EAT THEIR LUNCH MONITORING 300 KIDS IN A CLASSROOM.
BUT WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN THEIR MASTERS OR DOCTORATES.
THEY'RE THEIR LIFE PROFESSION, AND IT'S NOT MITIGATING THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM OR MITIGATING THE LUNCH LINE.
SO I JUST WANT TO JUST MENTION, I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO GET THEM TIME.
I'M GOING TO GET AN EDUCATION.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS IN EDUCATION.
SINCE I STARTED TEACHING BEFORE THAT, BEFORE I STARTED TEACHING IT IS, IT IS AN ISSUE THIS ROBOT AND YOU WERE A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR.
WERE YOU ABLE TO UTILIZE VOLUNTEERS TO DO SUPERVISION WITHOUT A CERTIFICATION OR EMPLOYMENT IN THE DISTRICT? THIS IS PART OF THE, I CAN'T COUNT ON THE VOLUNTEERS TO COME THERE.
SO CAN I TALK? SO I WAS, I WAS GOING TO ASK, UM, IS HIRING NON CERTIFIED PEOPLE JUST AS DIFFICULT AS HIGHER RATES, CERTIFIED PEOPLE? YES, IT IS.
CAN WE THROW OUT THE NET AND HIRE PART-TIME HOURLY PEOPLE TO HAVE A RELIEF TEAM IN THE MORNINGS OVER SPEAK TO YOU THAT LUNCHTIME OR A BIG TEAM, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF YOU'RE RIGHT.
HOWARD CERTIFIED VERSUS NON-CERTIFIED, IT'S JUST AS DIFFICULT.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE 56 VACANCIES IN CLASSIFIED POSITIONS.
UM, WE STRUGGLE WITH TRYING TO GET MUSICIANS SKILLS TO DO THE ACTIVE CARE CHILDCARE.
THOSE ARE NON-CERTIFIED POSITIONS, DIFFICULTY HEROINE.
SO IT'S, IT'S THE CLAUSE IS JUST NOT CERTAIN STAY.
SO THAT GOES BACK TO THAT CADRE OF PEOPLE, UH, MR. SMITH.
AND I WOULD JUST SUGGEST THERE'S USUALLY NOT WORK, TRY TO WORK OUT SOLUTIONS AMONGST THE BOARD.
WE JUST HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEM AND GIVE IT TO THAT MAN RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW, JUST SPENT, UH, IN TERMS OF, OF THESE TOPICS, UH, IT STARTED AT A BOARD MEETING WHEN MS. ROBOT MADE A COMMENT ABOUT, UH, PLANNING AND HOW, YOU KNOW, WE, WE NEED, SO, SO WE TALK ABOUT, UH, IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
[04:45:01]
WE TALK ABOUT ONE OF THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.RIGHT? ALL OF THOSE THINGS REQUIRE PLANNING, COLLABORATIVE PLANNING.
WE NEED OUR TEACHERS TO BE ENGAGED IN THOSE.
BUT WE NEED TO FIND TIME FOR THEM TO DO THAT.
UH, AND SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE DO THAT? RIGHT? CAN YOU FIND A WAY, UH, COMPENSATE FOR THAT? AND WE FIND A WAY TO COVER CLASSES.
UH, ONCE THEY GO TO A COLLABORATIVE PLANNING SESSION, UH, FOR THEIR GRADE LEVEL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF, OF, UH, STRATEGIES THAT WE WOULD NEED TO UTILIZE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE WOULD FIND SOME OF THAT TIME SO THAT THEIR PLANNING IS A PLANNING TIME.
UH, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, ET CETERA, WHAT'S YOUR, WHAT KIND OF TALK ABOUT THAT LATER, THEN ASK YOUR QUESTION, MR. SMITH.
AND THE REASON WHY I ASKED THAT IS BECAUSE I REMEMBER, UM, HOW, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, HAVING HALF THE WINDOWS, YOUR TEACHER WRITTEN COULD, WILL BURN DOWN.
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WASN'T, THAT I WAS WONDERING, DID THAT COME FROM, THAT WAS FOLDED INTO THIS BECAUSE THAT'S A SOLUTION AND WE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU AND THAT ONE POSSIBLE SOLUTION, ALTHOUGH IT'S COMPLICATED, BUT THAT'S DEALING WITH THE TEACHER BURNOUT ISSUE.
SO THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE TEACHERS AND GIVING THEM A DAY OFF.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT GIVING TEACHERS A DAY OFF.
THAT WOULD BE SUGGESTED AFTER THEY'RE COMFORTABLE, UH, FROM DR.
RODRIGUEZ CENTER WOULD BE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS OF TEACHERS NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME.
I'M STILL THINKING THIS WAS NOT SO THIS IS UNDER THE UMBRELLA.
UM, FIRSTLY, LET ME START OFF BY SAYING, I HAVE HEARD SOME OF THE POINTS OF THE THINGS THAT WILL WORK BEFORE.
UM, IF HR IN THE FUTURE APPOINTMENTS A LOT, THEY WANT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME THEN I WANT TO POSSIBLY GO BACK AND I WOULDN'T WRITE IT DOWN.
AND THERE WAS TWO, THEY WERE THE TEACHER, WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BRING BEFORE THEY WOULD GIVE IT TO US.
SO WE COULD HAVE A NOTES TO GO BACK.
WELL, JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT SOMETIMES I DO GO BACK AND LOOK AT NOTES OR WHEN I COME OUT AND KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING IT TO, HOW TO FULLY GET INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION, UM, HOW IT'S APPRECIATED THAT THEY, THEY WANT TO START DOING THAT.
UM, SECOND, SECOND WEEK, THE REASON WHY I SAID THE CLASSIC OUTSTANDING, YOUR BODY HAS ACTUALLY WAS A HAT THEY'RE NOT VOTING.
IT'S JUST MAYBE LIKE A HALF DAY IS BECAUSE I SAW THAT SOME SCHOOL WAS DOING IT.
THEY WERE GIVING A TEACHER, THEY WOULD GIVE THEM A HAPPY HOUR AND THAT WOULD KIND OF SUPPORT THEM TO GET THEM TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO SELECT IN TERMS OF LESSON PLANS OR PREPARE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I SAW.
AND I SAW SOME SPEAKING OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS GOOD THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, THEY WERE LACKING DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A ONE, ONE THING THAT WE COULD TALK TO THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS THAT, OF THE HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
AND WHAT I OBSERVED THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THE SAME FOCUSES ABOUT THE HALL MONITORS AND HAVING THEM HAVE BRICKS.
I DIDN'T HAUL BY THEM TO WORK MORE.
THEY WERE MORE AFFECTIVE THAN WHAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE.
AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE AT MY SCHOOL WE HAVE FOUR, PERHAPS WE ARE A FOUR HALLMARKS.
WE HAVE TWO ON TOP FLOOR PRIOR TO THE BAR FLOOR.
AND THEN SOMETIMES IT DEPENDS.
AND WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY , THEY TAUGHT ME WHEN THEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING IS TO STOP IT.
WE TALKED WHEN YOU SAID THAT THEY KIND OF MENTOR THOSE KIDS.
I THINK THAT TO POSSIBLY ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE BURDEN OFF IN TERMS OF THE TEACHERS, MAYBE THERE IN TERMS OF HOW STUDENTS ARE BEHAVING, UH, GIVEN THE VIDEO, GO TO THE BATHROOM,
[04:50:01]
THEY CAN WAIT FOR SOME, FROM SOMEONE WHO GOES OFF BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS TO TELL HER SHE LISTEN BACK IN AND LEAVE MY TRACKS BECAUSE I LEAVE.I CAME ACROSS SOME COVER FOR MOTHERS WOULD DEFINITELY, WE WANT THEM TO HELP US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO SHOW THAT WE ARE POSSIBLY TRYING TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE.
UM, I KNOW YOU ALREADY SAID THAT IT DID SOME HARM.
DO YOU HAPPY ON WEDNESDAY? I'LL GIVE THE TEACHERS, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A VERY IMPORTANT THING, BECAUSE WE SAID THAT WE WANT TO, ALSO RETENTION OF TEACHERS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE LATEST THING THAT LEAD UP TO .
BUT YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ABLE BALL GOING TO WALK AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE THERE'S EPIDEMIC GOING ON EVERYWHERE.
SO IT IS HARD, BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING.
AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT EASY, BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AND TURN TO NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S SHOWN.
ACTUALLY WE SOUNDED LIKE WE SAY THAT THE EXCITEMENTS AND I HAVEN'T NOTICED AS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WISH THAT WE WOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF RELIEVING OUR TEACHERS.
I MEAN, HAVE THEY ALSO AROUND THAT A HUNDRED, THE HALL MONITORS WOULD BE A LITTLE GRIEVABLE.
OPCITY UM, AT FIRST I WANT TO SAY TO THE HR DEPARTMENT, I, THE TOOLBOX THAT YOU HAVE, I THINK SHOULD DO REPRESENTS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO.
I THINK THAT THAT'S AN IMPRESSIVE TOOLBOX.
I KNOW IT'S NOT COMPREHENSIVE.
AND I THINK WHAT THE BOARD STATE IS, THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE THINGS IN THE TOOLBOX, BUT YOU KNOW, THE MENTAL HEALTH, THE CHILDCARE, UM, THE PAIN FOR COVERING CLASSES, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE BIG HELPS.
I'M GONNA SAY AGAIN, I THINK IT'S HARD TO, UH, DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM IN WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF CANADA, RIGHT? BECAUSE I KNOW THE LEGISLATURE IS, UH, LOOKING AT UNENCUMBERED TIME AND THEY'RE GOING TO ASK THE SCHOOL BOARDS TO COME UP WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLANS TO PROTECT UNENCUMBERED.
SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS SOMETIME IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
UM, BUT THE OTHER THING IS I HAVE TO SAY DURING COVID, EVERYBODY IS ABOUT TO PASS OUT.
I MEAN, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHO, WHO DOES EAT LUNCH NURSES? WE HAVE A NURSING SHORTAGE AND, UM, A LOT OF NURSES, SOMETIMES THEY NEED TO WORK A DOUBLE SHIFT AND THEN THEY GET A CALL THAT THEIR KIDS GET QUARANTINE AND THEY HAVE TO FIND COVERAGE.
WE ARE ALL, UM, THE, UH, PEOPLE WORKING ARE KIND OF AT THE END OF THEIR WORLD.
SO I THINK THERE JUST NEEDS TO BE THIS COMPASSIONATE, UM, SENSE OF COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW.
AND VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER WE CAN USE THEM TO HELP OUT.
BUT I DO THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, HR IS DOING ALL THAT THEY CAN, THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO COME UP WITH OTHER IDEAS.
THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS GOING TO MAKE US COME UP WITH SOME OTHER IDEAS.
AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS WE COME OUT OF THIS, UM, PANDEMIC, UH, HOPEFULLY OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO, IN TERMS OF ITS OWN CONWAY TO REALLY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, MORE, UH, STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS WE CAN FIX, BUT RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S TORN DOWN, EVERYBODY'S AT THE END OF THEIR ROPE.
AND I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO SHOW COMPASSION FOR EVERYBODY WEEKEND TO THAT STATEMENT.
AND WHEN WE REALIZE EVERYBODY'S WORN OUT, BUT OUR JOBS, THE TEACHERS, UM, SO TO SPEAK, WE HAVE NURSES, BUT WE'RE FOCUSED ON, WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE TEACHERS WHO CAN'T REALLY SOLVE ALL THOSE OTHER ISSUES.
AND I DO THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING WE'RE KEEN TO JUST KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
I KNOW YOU'VE MADE A VALIANT EFFORT YET, A LOT OF TOOLS THAT PULL BLOCKS, BUT I GO BACK TO THE STATEMENT I MADE IN THE BEGINNING.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, SOMETHING ELSE HAS TO BE DONE OR ELSE WE WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO THEM.
SO I JUST WANT US TO SOMEHOW GET OFF THE DIME WITH SOME, BECAUSE I THINK INGRID'S RIGHT STATE.
LEGISLATURE'S GOING TO ASK US TO DO SOMETHING.
IT'D BE REALLY COOL IF WE ALREADY HAD IT.
I UNDERSTAND, BUT WE ARE NOT REALLY JUST IN CHARGE OF THE TEACHERS WERE ELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND IT IS DIFFICULT, UM, TO NOT CONSIDER THE IMPACT THAT OUR POLICIES HAVE ON SOMETHING LIKE STAFFING AT A HOSPITAL.
AND AS A RESULT WITH THE NURSE, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER HOLISTICALLY.
[04:55:01]
DEPARTMENT, IN MY OPINION, IS CHARGED WITH TEACHERS, RIGHT? WE ARE CHARGED WITH STUDENTS AND WE ARE CHARGED WITH EDGE OF THE DELIVERY OF EDUCATION OR COMMUNITY.SO I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT IT, LIMIT OUR DISCUSSIONS, JUST TO WHAT THE TEACHERS NEED.
I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S EXPECTATIONS ARE.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, I DISAGREE WITH THE STATEMENT THAT WE CAN ONLY CONTROL THE TEACHERS OR NOT, SORRY, NOT CONTROL THE TEACHERS AND THE CONTROL TO THE STUDENTS.
THEY'LL GET ONE BITE AT A TIME.
AND FOR US AS THE TEACHER HERSELF EVENTUALLY IN A BROADER, THEN IT WILL BE LIKE US SITTING UP HERE THINKING THAT WE COULD SOMEHOW SOLVE POVERTY.
WE CAN'T WITH A SCHOOL THAT WE CANNOT SOLVE, BUT WE CAN DEAL WITH THOSE KIDS, YOU KNOW, TODAY OR WHATEVER.
JUST WANT TO KEEP US FOCUSED ON DOING SOMETHING.
AND THAT WOULD BE A SMALL BITE.
I THINK I'M OVERSTEPPING MY BALANCE IS CHAIRED BY GETTING INTO THIS DEBATE WITH YOU.
AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT MR. SPAN, UH, ALSO OUT SOMEWHERE AND BASICALLY WE GET TO GIVES US, GIVES US GETTING RID OF THE TIME I WAS SOMEWHERE RECENTLY, BUT WHAT HAD BUILT FROM HIS DAY THERE WERE ABOUT MAYBE I'M JUST SAYING THIS TO POSSIBLY IN TERMS OF HOW WE TALKING ABOUT PACKAGING IT UP EARLIER, BUT IT RELATES TO THIS, UH, VOLUNTEERS, UH, THE, THE PROGRAM, THEIR PROGRAM THEY HAVE ABOUT 50 MEN ABOUT NO, NO, NO, NO.
LESS THAN AT LEAST ABOUT 50 OR PROBABLY MORE THAN THE MILITARY.
THE VOLUNTEERS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH VOLUNTEERS.
AND WHAT HAPPENED IS WHAT THE MILITARY DOES IS THE MILITARY.
I HAVE THE OPPOSITE AND THEY APPLY.
THEY HAVE OPTIONS IN THE COMMUNITIES WITH DIFFERENT BANKS.
AND MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE MAY WANT TO VISIT OR CHECK OUT BECAUSE EVEN IF WE GET MAYBE 20 OF THEM, THAT'S A START SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTRICT OR SOME TYPE AGO, BUT THEY WERE AT LEAST ABOUT 50.
LET'S SAY VOLUNTEERS, ALL VOLUNTEER AND THE INITIATIVE THAT THEY DON'T EDIT IT IN MIND.
AND IT WAS, IT WAS WITH THE KIDS, BUT THEY DIDN'T MIND BECAUSE THE FACT THAT THEIR JOB IS I HAVE TO COME IN, I HAVE DATE AND THEY GIVE THEM LIKE A DAY OFF.
SO, I MEAN, SO, SO THEY GOT REWARDED FOR IT WHEN IT WAS STATION.
SO MAYBE THAT COULD BE SOMETHING TOO TO JUST TO BE LOOKED AT AS A SCHOOL FOR THEM.
I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST TO PUT THAT OUT THERE, MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING BY ONE SECOND, TOO.
, , TRY TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE, SEE WHICH, WHICH OF THESE WE CAN LEGITIMATELY DO.
LIKE, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH HAVING VOLUNTEERS SUPERVISE KIDS THAT ARE NOT EMPLOYED.
UM, SO, SO GREAT IDEAS LOVE TO DO IT, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU MAY NOT WANT ME TO DO THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE, RIGHT.
SO THAT'S THE REALITY, EVEN WITH MY TEAM GO THROUGH, UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE, SEE WHAT, SEE WHAT, UH, WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE NEXT STEP.
ALL OUR IDEAS ARE ONE WORKABLE.
THEN IT'S UP TO YOU TO COME UP WITH ONE STUDENT PERFORMANCES, CELEBRATION FORMAT TO TEE UP IT'S ARE THEY STILL ZUNI OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE IN PERSON? AND ARE WE NOT BEING AGGREGATABLE THERE'S SOME STUDENTS THAT THEIR CELEBRATION IN PERSON AND OTHERS IN ZOOM.
[05:00:03]
IS THERE ANY REASON THEY CAN'T? NO, WE HAVE, UH, THEATER PERFORMANCES.THERE'S NO REASON IT WAS A SCHOOL DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE THAT THEY CAN'T BE , UM, THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM, KRISTEN CASPER ORDINATES, UH, THAT WE'LL BE, WE'LL BE COMMUNICATING THAT TO THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS.
UH, THAT THAT'S HOW WE WOULD BE DOING OKAY, MR. SMITH.
HOW , IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BE, UH, VIA ZOOM, THEY HELP SHE'S OR SOMETHING AND THEY CAN'T MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DO A LOT OF THEM TO DO THAT TOO, JUST TO BE FAIR SO THAT THEY CAN'T I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
READING THIS SPINNER JUST NEXT.
UM, MONTH, I JUST LET US, UM, TO CAME TO, UH, TO THE MEETING AND I THINK THEY WERE NORTH OF ABROAD, RIGHT? THEY DROVE ALL THE WAY TO HILTON HAVE.
UM, AND I THINK YOU NEED TO SHARE WITH THE PARENTS OR THE CAREGIVERS THAT USE, IF THEY WANT TO COME IN PERSON, THAT'D BE WONDERFUL.
AND MAYBE WE CAN DO IT IN IT'S, YOU KNOW, TO THE NORTH OF THE FRAUD IS JUST UP HERE IN THE SOUTH AND ABROAD STUDENTS AT THE END OF THE MONTH AT THE, THAT INCIDENT IS ONE GENERATED THIS TOPIC.
UM, SO, SO WHEN YOU SAY PERFORMANCE IS, YOU ALSO NEED THE, UH, EXCELLENT.
CHAIR, WILL THERE BE A LIMITED CAPACITY? LIKE IF A STUDENT COMES, ARE WE LIMITED TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT COULD BE THERE FOR EITHER, YOU KNOW, STUDENT OF THE MONTH OR THE PERFORMANCES? WE HAVE BOARD MEETINGS AND LIMITED CAPACITY FOR, UM, PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING TO SPEAK AT MEETINGS OR LISTENING IN, ON MEETINGS, BUT IN TERMS OF THE STUDENTS THAT COME, UM, FOR, FOR A PRESENTATION OR FOR A, UM, THEY'RE IN AND OUT FIVE MINUTES, 10 MINUTES, THAT'S A QUICK PIECE.
SO I THINK THAT PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT WOULD BE INDEPENDENT OF THE CAPACITY.
WE NEED TO WORK OUT THE ACCESS PARENTS .
SO IN THE PAST ONE THING TOO, THAT WAS DONE WAS TYPICALLY THE TALKING DIMENSION IN SOME OF THE COMMENTS, THE, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE CHARACTER RECOGNITION OR SOBRIETY WAS DONE AT THE MEETING ON THEM.
CHARACTER RECOGNITION FOR STUDENT STAFF FOR THE BRIDE WOULD BE DOWN, UM, AT THE SCHOOL.
UM, SO THAT, THAT MADE IT EASIER TO AVOID SOME SITUATIONS.
WE JUST HAD THE LAST TIME THAT STUDENTS TRAVELING.
AND I KNOW FROM 10 GROUP COMMENTS TO THAT, UH, I GOTTA SIGN UP FOR THE PERFORMANCES IF THAT QUITE A BIT IN ADVANCE.
SO THAT MADE THAT KEEP GOING FORWARD.
IT'S PROBABLY NICE IF LATER, YOU KNOW, THE PERFORMANCE GROUP ALSO IS THE NORTH OF THE BROAD GATE HERE IN SOUTH X TOPIC IS COMMITTEE MEANING THE BROAD TOPIC, BUT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET, NUMBERS ARE TO START LIKE WHEN YOUR MOTION, A LOT OF TIME, ALL
[05:05:01]
THE TIME SPENT IN THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.AND I ASKED AROUND ON VACATION, UM, OFFER BACK LEGISLATOR, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO, IF WE WANT TO CHANGE FROM A LEGISLATOR TO READ LEGISLATIVE, CREATING YOUR EMOTION, UH, AND TO CHANGE THAT, I BELIEVE THERE'S SOME STAR TO CHANGE MAYBE BASED ON THE FEEDBACK, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT ASSOCIATION AND THE MEETINGS THAT WE ATTEND, ANYONE CAN ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS, THE CHAIR LEVEL.
UM, YEAH, THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS STRUCTURED WAS THE WHOLE BOARD WAS A COMMITTEE AS OPPOSED TO VISTA A HANDFUL OF 40 MEMBERS AND EARL SERVED AS THE LIAISON.
AND HAS, I THINK CONTINUOUSLY RIGHT SINCE TO HAVE ON FLOOR AND YOU HAVE SET UP FOR MANY MEN.
I THINK IT'S REAL IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A STRONG LEGISLATIVE PRESENCE AS A BOY.
AND, UM, I WAS THINKING AHEAD, I'D LOVE TO BE ON THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, BUT I WAS THINKING, OKAY, SO WHAT'S THE COMMITTEE, UM, TO HELP THE BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW, YOU KNOW, IN A WAY, I THINK IT'S ALMOST BETTER THAT IT'S, THAT IT'S ALL OF US.
WE HAVE OUR LEGISLATIVE LOBBYISTS, WE HAVE SO MANY RECORDS LETTING US SUCH AS STATE LEVEL AND LOOKING OUT FOR OUR INTERESTS.
SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE A COMMITTEE.
UM, AND I REALLY THINK, UH, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR, OUR, UM, LOTION OF, UM, MOVING FORWARD WITH, UH, UH, GETTING THE BOARD AND DISTRICT FISCAL AUTHORITY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE, WE HAVE OUTREACH WITH OUR, WITH OUR LEGISLATORS TO, UM, I DON'T KNOW, CAN SOMEBODY THINK OF HOW, YOU KNOW, CHANGING IT WOULD IMPROVE IT? THAT'S MY QUESTION.
I THINK THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE LEGISLATIVE, UH, COMMUNITY, UM, OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS BEING A, UH, FIRST TIME BOARD MEMBER.
AND, AND THREE YEARS LATER, I HAVE KIND OF REALIZED THAT THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR GREATEST CHARGES IS TO WORK WITH OUR LEGISLATORS AND TO EFFECT POLICY CHANGE ON A COUNTY AND STATE LEVEL AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
AND SO I SEE THAT THE LEGISLATURE COMMITTEE IS SO BLUNT FOCUSED AS COMPARED TO JUST THE DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, FOCUSED THAT IT, THEN IT'S ALMOST CRUCIAL.
AND IF IT WERE TO MEET QUARTERLY AND KEEP THOSE TOPICS FRONT AND CENTER IN FRONT OF THE BOARD, BY HAVING A COMMITTEE REPORT PERIODICALLY AND SO ON, UM, BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME IT COMES IN FRONT OF THE FULL BOARD IS WHEN IT'S AN AGENDA TOPIC.
YOU KNOW, IT'S WHEN IT'S LIKE, OKAY, IT'S NOT FOR OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER OR ASSIGNED FOR THIS.
I HADN'T THOUGHT THIS THROUGH DAVID, UM, BUT I MOVED AND THE CHAIR, UM, APPOINT A LEGISLATIVE ABOARD LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.
UM, NOW FOR DISCUSSION OR YOUR HAND, IS THAT SOMETHING ELSE MR. SPAN? OH, I WOULD DEFINITELY CHALLENGE YOU ALL.
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SERVING, LIKE THEY COULD BE THE, UH, UH, UH, THE PEOPLE WHO WORK, WHO KEEP THE BOARD FOCUSED, BUT THAT WE ALL STILL CAN STILL PLAY THE ROLE
[05:10:01]
THAT WE, THAT WE HAVE IN PLAYING.BUT THOSE ARE JUST THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP WE'LL KEEP IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, LIKE, FORGET THIS, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T GET THIS.
SO WE STILL, IT'S STILL ALMOST IN THE SAME, UH, IN THE SAME, UH, IN THE SAME MANNER.
I MEAN, IN THE SAME, IN THE SAME WAY, IN THE SAME, IN THE SAME WAY, HAVE THE SAME SIMULTANEOUSLY, BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE NOW WITH SOME OF THEIR MAIN FOCUS IS, IS WITH WHAT IS DISCUSSED, BUT IT CERTAINLY COMES TO US BECAUSE WHENEVER PEOPLE GO AT THEM FROM EVEN BEFORE OUR BOARD MEMBERS FOR DOING THE PAPERWORK, INSTEAD OF I DO WORK FROM TEND TO TIME AND TIME OF TIMES, IT'S JUST SOMETHING I SEE ON THE AGENDA I GO THERE.
SO I THINK THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT IS, UH, IMPORTANT THAT WE STAY SO THAT WE CAN GET WHAT WE NEED ON HIM, BUFORD, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
SO I WOULD, I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT, SUPPORTED OUR EMOTIONS.
I THINK THEY NEED SOMEONE TO KEEP US ABREAST OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
I READ THAT THOSE FOUR ROBBINS RELAYS JOURNALISM IS COMPENSATING.
I MISS A LOT OF STUFF WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION, WHAT THEY'RE DOING AT THE STATE HOUSE.
AND I'LL BE KEEPING UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING AT STAYED OUT EVERY LITTLE LAW.
AND WHEN I DROVE BACK TO THE LAWS OF 56, MAKING A JJ LAWS OF 65, BUT THEN MAKING A CHANGE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED A COMMITTEE TO HELP.
IF WE CANNOT GET HIM TO SIT DOWN WITH US, HAS TO THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
SO WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE TO HAVE DISCUSSION WITH COMING, EVERY OTHER DISTRICT HAS MADE HIM A GOOD EXERCISE.
WHAT ELSE? THAT'S WHY WE GET A LOT OF STUFF WITH G THAT WE DON'T SHOW VIDEO GREEN STOCK.
I CAN SHOW, I CAN TALK TO REPRESENTATIVE , BUT WE NEED THIS PALETTE ON HOW TO HAVE MEETINGS.
YOU DON'T MEAN IT FROM A SLOW TO SENATOR DAVIS SOMETIME I SEE JEN ASPECT, BUT THE REST OF THEM, THEY WOULD REPRESENT US.
UM, EARL, I MEAN, THE IMPORTANT IS OUR DIALOGUE WITH OUR DELEGATION.
WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE GETTING INFORMATION FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING STATE LEVEL.
WE GET IT WITH THOSE LEGISLATIVE UPDATES FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION.
NOW WE DO HAVE WE PAY, WE PAY THEM FOR 400 MAYOR, A LOT OF MONEY, AND THEY KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR SCHOOL, FOR OUR DISTRICT.
REMEMBER THEY ONLY REPRESENT, THEY DON'T REPRESENT ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE SO THAT THERE'S NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN REPRESENTING WHAT WE WANT, WHAT WE NEED.
SO I DON'T THINK IT'S THE, I DON'T SEE A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.
I JUST, I DON'T THINK THE SCOPE SHOULD BE THAT YOU KEEPING UPDATES, UM, KEEPING I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT.
OR I JUST, I JUST, I JUST THOUGHT TO ME HOW IT'S GOING TO BRING WHAT I REALLY, I CONCUR COMPLETELY WITH OUR NECESSARY THING AS FAR OUR DELEGATION TO INTERACT WITH US.
NOW THEY DO TYPICALLY AT THE TEACHER FOR BREAKFAST ONCE A YEAR, BUT THAT'S IT.
UM, AND THEN INDIVIDUALLY, WE CAN ALL REACH OUT TO THE DELEGATION, UM, A REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH, OR WE KNOW, OR WE RENT OR REPRESENT US SPECIFICALLY AS CITIZENS.
UM, SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS SURVEY DEFINITELY SUPPORT A COMMUNITY.
AND I AGREE WITH MR. CAMPBELL, IF THAT CAN, YOU COULD GET US IN FRONT OF
[05:15:01]
THE DELEGATES, YOU KNOW, IF THAT COMMITTEE SO, SO FOCUSED, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE GET THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATES, WE GET ALL THAT AND THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN SIMPLIFY IT TO EXECUTIVE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO HELP US UNDERSTAND IT.BUT IF THAT CAN, MAYBE ITS FOCUS IS ON PUTTING AS HAS OFFENDED.
THE DELEGATES THEN I DEFINITELY SUPPORTED IS THAT I LOOK, I HAVEN'T HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MY DELEGATE HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN C, BUT I THINK THAT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE THIS FAMILY HAS TALKED ABOUT IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
THEY NEVER COME TO US TO ASK US WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE.
SO THAT COMMITTEE IS GOING TO DO THAT.
I'M SUPPORTING, OR JUST SAY IT HELPS WITH YOU THROW A BREAKFAST LUNCH, MR. SPAN, THAT'S THAT? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE COMMITTEES? SO IF WE END UP WITH THE AUDIENCE FROM LEGISLATIVE BODY, FINE, WELL THIS LITTLE COMMITTEE, I THINK FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE STATE AS IT'S GOING ON.
AND THEN WE DECIDE WHEN THERE MAY BE A NEED FOR AN AUDIENCE WITH THE, WITH THE, OUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS OR LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, I THINK SHOULD BE UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE LAWS OF THE STATE IS GOING.
DESPITE OUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS FROM AN EDUCATIONAL STANDPOINT, WE'LL BOARD OF EDUCATION.
SO OUR FOCUS IN DEAL, YOU KNOW, THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE COUNTY IS FOCUSED ON MORE THAN JUST EDUCATION.
I THINK, I THINK WE WILL BE NARROWING IT DOWN.
WELL, WE HAVE A SCHOOL THAT FOCUSED ON THE EDUCATION OR CHANGES FROM ONE MEETING TO THE NEXT, AT THE STATE HOUSE.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL NEED TO BE THE FOCUS ON, PARTICULARLY NOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE BEAT THAT ONE OR TWO TIMES, BUT THOSE LEGISLATORS, AND I'LL BE ONE POINT ABOUT WHERE WE WANT TO GO.
I THINK I SUGGESTED YOU THINK, AND I THINK WHAT THE BOARD NEED TO KEEP UP WITH THE VALUATION OR ONE OR TWO RULE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING MADE FROM AN EDUCATIONAL STAFF.
ONE IS JUST, THAT'S NOT THE LEGISLATOR'S JOB SAVIA, AND YOU CAN ENGAGE THEM AND UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE THE ONES WHO VOTED ON IT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE CHANGES, UH, DESPITE THE VOTED IN OUR FAVOR OR AGAINST, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE.
I DISAGREE THAT WE CAN READ THOSE THINGS AND BE ABREAST OF ALL THE CHANGES MR. SMITH, SENTIMENTS CAMERAS, THE CAPITOL.
I DO AGREE WITH YOU, BUT ALSO WHAT I SEE IS THAT WHAT BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WHAT SHE'S SAYING, THAT THEN THAT, YOU KNOW, AS IN YOU DO YOU DO THAT AND THAT WE SET UP A MEETING BECAUSE ALSO WHAT YOU WOULD DO TO SPEAK TO YOUR POINT WHEN WE , WE NEED TO KNOW WHO WE'RE TALKING TO AND WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE MUSIC ABOUT IT AND WHAT ARE WE ASKING FOR? SO THAT'S WHY I WOULD READ THAT.
I ENVISION WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO TAKE PLACE TO WELD, BUT I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T HAVE A BIG IT JUST TO BE I THINK THERE'S SO MANY CHANGES.
WE MEET WITH THEM EVERY WEEK, TWO TIMES A WEEK, THE KEEP UP WITH ALL THE CHANGES AND ADDRESS IT.
UM, MY REASON FOR SAYING THERE IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO US.
YOU KNOW, I SHOULD NOT CHASE SOMEBODY ELSE'S CAR.
UM, AND WHEN I GO TO MEETINGS, NOT HERE ON THE DISTRICT, MEN SAY, NO, THEY HAVE BREAKFAST WITH THE DELEGATION
[05:20:02]
OVER THE YEARS.UM, AND WHEN WE GO TO SOME OF THEM, MAYBE YOU'LL HEAR FROM OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHAT THEIR, UH, BUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN THE INITIATIVE.
SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION.
AND I THINK THAT IF THEY WILL SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH US, AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS, THAT WILL BE FINE, BUT LET US KNOW HOW THEY WANT.
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT YOUR DISTRICT? THAT'S MY CONCERN.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE COMMON DAVE, MY CERTAIN FOLKS DON'T REFLECT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE IS WITH THAT SHOULD BE A PART OF WHAT WE DO, BUT NOT ALL THAT WE WORRY ABOUT DOING.
IF THEY NEVER MEET WITH US VICIOUS, WE STILL SHOULD HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM.
THAT'S OCCURRED THE STATE HOUSE, MR .
AND ALSO POINT OUT THAT IT'S, UH, USUALLY R C JUDAH.
IF IT'S MORE THAN THAT, THEY COME BACK TO THE BOARD CAUSE ME A LOT MORE ROOM IN HERE.
NOW, ALL THE QUESTION WE CAN DO A FINE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN.
SO THOSE BOARD MEMBERS INTERESTED IN BEING ON IT, SEND ME AN EMAIL OR CHOOSE SOME FOLKS.
AND THEIR FIRST TASKS WILL BE TO OUTLINE THEIR BOOK, THEIR MISSION, AND THEIR NEXT NEXT ITEM IS TO HAVE A HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE OR NOT.
THE FACT THAT NO ONE VOLUNTEERED FOR THE SELF I DID OFFER TO RETURNED SOMEBODY ELSE'S RESULTS, BUT NOBODY'S NO, MY SUGGESTION WAS FURTHER INTO THE RESULTS.
I'M SURE THE RESULTS I'VE BEEN WAS IN THE RESULTS, YOUR OBJECTION TO THAT ITEM AS HUMAN RESOURCES.
DO WE NEED ANY COMMUNITY RESOURCES? THANK YOU, CHAIR.
WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMITTEES WE REALLY DO.
AND YOU JUST SHARED WITH THIS NUMBERS AND SO ON.
AND, BUT I'M TORN BECAUSE THIS, THIS PROBABLY EMANATED FROM SOME OF MY CONCERNS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OPERATIONS TODAY, OKAY.
OPERATIONS, WHICH IS HUGE WITH THE $300.4 MILLION REFERENDUM, AS WELL AS OFF UNDER OPERATIONS, YOU HAVE HUMAN RESOURCES UNDER OPERATIONS.
YOU HAVE COMMUNICATIONS UNDER OPERATIONS, YOU HAVE STUDENT SERVICES.
UM, UNDER OPERATIONS, I MEAN MY MISSING ONE, THERE WAS ONE MORE ANYWAY.
AND IF YOU WERE TO BREAKDOWN AS A NUMBER, AS A COMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT WERE HAD ROBIN, WOULD YOU SAY
[05:25:01]
60% COULD VERY WELL BEEN APPELLATIONS EASILY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT AND ME REPORTING DURING OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND HOW MANY HOURS WOULD YOU COMPILE WERE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE.AND, YOU KNOW, I HATE ADDING ANOTHER COMMITTEE TO THE BOARD BECAUSE IT MIGHT TAKE US UP TO THAT EIGHT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, RESOURCES IS HUGE.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO GO OUT THERE FOR THOUGHT.
I, I JUST THINK OPERATIONS NEED SOME HELP AS FAR AS MAYBE EITHER KEEPING HUMAN RESOURCES UNDER OPERATIONS AND MAYBE STUDENT SERVICES THAT YOU GO IN YOUR ISD, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DEALING WITH STUDENTS YOU'RE DEALING WITH, I DON'T KNOW, BUT MAYBE SOME FRANK, SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT.
MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHTS, NO, ON ANOTHER COMMITTEE, IF I, IF YOU'RE ASKING MY OPINION ON THAT STAFF, YOU KNOW, UH, I MEAN, THEY'RE PREPARING FOR 160 COMMITTEE ON 60 80, RIGHT.
I MEAN, AND THEY'VE GOT MORE PRICE AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PRESENTATION.
SO THAT'S MY IMMEDIATE, UH, I THINK YOU MADE A GOOD SUGGESTION HERE AT THE END IS PICKING SERVICES.
UH, COMPONENT COULD SHIFT OVER TO ACADEMIC, TO DEALING WITH STUDENTS AND EVERYTHING WE DO IS ABOUT TRYING OUT TO GO BACK AND THEN WHATEVER STUDENT SERVICES SUPPORTS WE PROVIDE ARE HERE TOWARDS THEIR WELLBEING AND SUCCESS.
SO I THINK THAT'S A VALUABLE SHOULD, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ME TO SHIFT OVER? UM, BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING MY OPINION ON ANOTHER COMMITTEE, UM, UH, MY VOTE WOULD BE NO FOR THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING ABOUT, AND THIS IS GOING TO KIND OF COMBINE AGENDA ITEM M JUST A LITTLE BIT, I THINK IT'S THE NUMBER OF COMMITTEES, BUT I LOOKED AT OTHER DISTRICTS TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND PART OF IT IS WE LAST YEAR, WHICH IS MY ONLY YEAR THAT I HAVE TO SPEAK UP.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT TOOK UP SO MUCH COMMITTEE TIME WAS THE O E YOU KNOW, AND APPROVING THE OPIATES AND GOING THROUGH THE OB THAT'S DONE SO EXTENSIVELY, WE SHOULD HAVE SHORTER COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
UM, THE SECOND THING IS LIKE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE TO I'M THINKING, WE DON'T NEED TO MEET EVERY MONTH.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO DO EVERYTHING.
WE CAN MEET SOME COMMITTEE THAT SOUNDS HAVE COMMITTEE, UH, TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEES THAT MEET TWICE A YEAR.
AND THEY DO LOOK AT VERY SPECIFIC THINGS, BUT THEY, SOMETIMES WE HAVE THIS LIKE STANDING COMMITTEE THING WHERE, UH, THE FIRST TUESDAY AFTERNOON OF EVERY MONTH, BUT IT MAY BE THAT WE CAN COMBINE, HAVE FEWER MEETINGS THAT MAYBE LAST A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND GET MORE DONE RATHER THAN CUTTING BACK ON THE COMMITTEE AREAS.
SO THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS, BUT WE DID OPERATIONS, I THINK ALSO SAFETY AND SECURITY, WHICH KIND OF FALLS UNDER FACILITIES.
BUT ONE THING THAT WITH THE REFERENDUM, THAT'S A BIG JOB.
UM, AND THEN THE, IT WAS THE OES.
I THINK WE ENDED UP APPROVING SOMETHING LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT OES, AND THEN WE, HAVEN'T STILL ALL BROKEN DOWN BY ALL THEIR DIFFERENT FULL SUBSECTIONS THAT TOOK UP A LOT OF MEETING TIME AS WELL.
SO MY QUESTION IS, WELL, WHAT WOULD BE THE SCOPE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES CONDITION? WHAT WOULD THEY BE? AND I AGREE, THAT'S THE QUESTION? COMMON IS I AGREE THAT ANOTHER COMMITTEE, BECAUSE OF THE STACK, THERE ARE IN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK DOING REPORTS AND EXTRA THINGS FOR US AS WE ASK.
SO THAT CAN BE AN ISSUE, BUT WHAT WOULD BE THE SCOPE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES? UM, , WE'RE NOT BRINGING ANY MORE WORK ON THE STAFF AT ALL IN HERE.
AND HERE IS WHY, BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT THAT CAN BE THAT, I MEAN, THAT, THAT, THAT STAFF MEMBER WOULD WANT TO GO TO THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE DOES RIGHT NOW.
THEY COME TO THE STAFF, COME TO THE COMMITTEE, OH, BASICALLY, UH, OPERATIONS.
AND WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY'RE BRINGING SOMETHING.
SO IF THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE NOT BRINGING SOMETHING.
THEY WOULDN'T BE WANT TO EXTRA OBESE.
NOW THEY WILL BE GOING TO THE MEETING WHEN THEY EAT, OR WHEN SOMETHING IS ASKED OF HR, WHICH DO PARTICULARLY IF IT WILL BE PARTICULARLY EIGHT, WHATEVER, WHATEVER IT IS, WHATEVER THE TOPIC IS BY HR.
SO THAT DOESN'T ADD MORE WORK FOR THEM.
THAT'S JUST MORE, A MORE DIRECT LINE TOWARDS THEM.
SO IT DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY TO HAVE MORE MEETINGS OR STRESS.
THE, MY BOARD, IT JUST, NOW I SAY,
[05:30:01]
YOU COME TO IT OPERATIONS.THEY WENT THROUGH THE OLD COMMUNITY AND ACTUALLY IT COULD BE SHORTER OR IT COULD BE GLASS BECAUSE HR MAY NOT HAVE THAT MUCH.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE A MEANS TO, THEY MAY NOT BE, NEED TO BE TOO MUCH.
SO BASICALLY ALL THEY WILL BE DOING NOW, THEY'LL BE FOCUSED ON JUST EIGHT HOUR AND IT WILL BE ONE TO THE ONLY, BUT AS IN TERMS OF ADDING MORE, MORE, MORE MEANS THAT, THAT, THAT THAT'S NOT TRUE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY THEY'RE ALREADY, THEY ALREADY COME TO THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING WHEN THEY HAVE SOME, AND AT TIMES THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING DOESN'T THEN THEY DON'T COME.
SO THAT'S WHEN I PUT THAT OUT THERE.
UM, WE NEED A MOTION IF SOMEBODY HAS A FEELING THAT WELL, I ALSO WANTED TO, I ALSO WANT IT TO, UH, ADD, UH, I WANNA SAY SOMETHING, SOMEONE AS A QUESTION, BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF ME BEING ON THE OPERATION COMMITTEE, AS LONG AS I HAVE, I'LL JUST SAY THAT BOTH OF Y'ALL MAKE VALID POINTS, BUT WELL, I COULD NOT SUPPORT.
I HOPE IS THAT WE WOULD NOT SHIP STUDENT SERVICES BECAUSE THAT STUDENT SERVICE PIECE, ALONG WITH, UM, SPREAD OUT, A LOT OF THOSE THINGS ARE CONGRUENT WITH EACH OTHER.
SO YOU CAN ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY COINCIDE WITH EACH OTHER.
BOCKARIE , ON THAT COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT I'VE SEEN IS THAT A LOT OF WORK WITH THE MONITOR, THE STUDENT SERVICES AND THE, UH, THE PIECE THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS IN THE DIARY.
SO THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE NAPKIN, NOT A CONCERN, EVERY VISIT.
I JUST REMIND THE BOARD POSITIVE IS WHETHER WE SHOULD SPLIT OUT NOW A SEPARATE HUMAN RESOURCES, UM, REDUCTION OF OPERATIONS WORKLOAD, ALTHOUGH NO THAT'LL HAPPEN IN THE CHAIR.
I AGREE WITH YOU BEST NOT THE TOPIC THE TOPIC IS.
DO WE SPLIT OUT EITHER NEED, IF YOU WANT TO OPERATE IT, THE BIG REASON WHY IS BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION.
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULD BE MORE FEASIBLE FOR OPERATIONS.
DOES CONSTRUCTION NEED ITS OWN OWN IDENTITY? I MEAN, DOES IT NEED ITS OWN COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SO MUCH INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN, GIVEN THAT TIME IF SOMEBODY DID DECISIONS COULD BE MADE.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE, ESPECIALLY NOW THE OPERATIONS CERTAINLY USE OUR SCOPE.
THAT'S WHAT THEN YOUR PERFECT, NICE SEGUE INTO BOARD.
AND ONE GETS TO THE STATISTICS WOULD SHOW YOU HOW MUCH FUN AND TO GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS COMMENT ABOUT INCREASED MEETINGS IN 2041.
IF YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S NOT THAT FAR OFF PATTERN ON THE POINT.
I DON'T KNOW IF LENS CHANGED OVER.
WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON THE NEGATIVES COURSES THAT WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME SOMETIMES ON THE SAME TOPICS IN THE WORD JUST COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
BUT ANOTHER POINT ON THIS IS WE SEND TO THE NEXT TOPIC MEETING IN ITS FORMAT IS THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE MEETINGS.
WE'RE ASKING TO ADMINS, GO BACK AND REVIEW THOSE MEETINGS TO COME UP WITH THE MINUTES, WHICH MEANS IT DOUBLES SOME AMOUNT OF TIME, WHICH IS ALREADY KIND OF MIND BOGGLING.
[05:35:01]
TWO ISSUES KIND OF GO TOGETHER.UM, SO I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS, OH, LET ME SET UP THE MEETING FOR THAT BECAUSE IT IT'S SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART.
UM, WELL WE'RE REQUIRED IN THE MINUTES TO HAVE EMOTIONS AND THE RESULTS OF THE EMOTIONS AND THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL THE BASIC POINT, WHICH ALSO PUT A SENTENCE IN THERE.
THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION, BUT NOT GET EXTENSIVE MINUTES CONCERNS YOU SEE GOING BACK AND REVIEWING THE VIDEOS.
THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME, WHICH WE DON'T, WE DON'T SEE BECAUSE WE SIT ON ONE OR TWO, UNFORTUNATELY, ROBERT AND OFFICER, ALL THE COMMITTEES AND THEY DO ALL, UM, SO FOODS WE'VE CUT BACK TO THE PER PRETTY MUCH THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
ALSO SENTENCE, ANY DISCUSSIONS THAT OCCURRED, NOT WHAT, WHAT THE OPINIONS WERE, BUT JUST THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ON THEN WE COULD APPROVE THE MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETINGS OVER WHILE YOU STILL HAVE ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE, YOU CAN SAY, OKAY, THIS IS THE LAST THING WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOR THE MINUTES MOTION.
AND IF IT WAS MANAGING MOTION MOTION, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION.
THERE WAS A DISCUSSION, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION AND THE COMMITTEE COULD APPROVE THOSE MINUTES RIGHT THEN AND THERE, WHILE THEY'RE STILL FRESH IN THE MEMORY AND THEN POSTED WITHIN 24 HOURS.
AND THE ADMINS WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO VIEW THE VIDEOS JUST SEEMS A HECK OF A LOT MORE EFFICIENT.
AND YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS IS TRUE.
SO TO SPEAK THAT THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME IN BUSINESS, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT EDUCATION OR BUSINESS.
WE NORMALLY DO IT THAT THEY DIDN'T NORMALLY DO THE MINUTES BEFORE EVERYBODY LEAVES THE ROOM.
CAN YOU GET HER INTO A BREEZE? AND IF THEY WANT SOMETHING TO CHANGE, THEY CAN ADD NO.
SO THOSE, THOSE TO HOW THOSE TWO ITEMS FOUND THIS AGENDA, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
UM, AND JUST TO GET A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENT IN THIS, MY IDEA KIND OF DOING, I'M NOT SURE WE CAN CUT DOWN THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS.
WE HAVE THAT TO EACH COMMITTEE AND THREE POINT MADE, MAYBE IT'S THE OVARIES ARE TOO MUCH, OR, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW EACH COMMITTEE AND FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT.
THIS WAS JUST ACTUALLY FOR SHOCK TO REMIND THE BOARD HOW MANY MEETINGS WE HAVE, AND THAT REQUIRES, YOU KNOW, UNDERGROUND RADIUS THAT REQUIRED BALI AND ROBIN'S TIME.
SO JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BECOME MORE EFFICIENT IF THERE WERE NO OBJECTION TO THAT.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY AND OPERATIONS OR LESS OPERATIONS COMMITTEE ABOUT THE MEETING MINUTES.
UM, AND ONE THING IS, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD JUST DO THE MOTIONS BECAUSE ALL I WANT TO COME OUT OF NEEDS FOR EACH AGENDA ITEM.
IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GO, WHAT, WHAT DID WE DO WITH, YOU KNOW, LIKE, UM, SO IF, UNLESS YOU HAVE LIKE A MOTION FOR EVERYTHING, WHICH WE DON'T, WE DON'T NEED THAT MUCH ACTION COMING OUT OF COMMITTEES.
A LOT OF IT IS JUST SEND IT TO THE BOARD, RIGHT.
BUT SOMETHING, CAUSE I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED MY FIRST YEAR ON THE BOARD, UH, HOW HARD IT IS TO, TO GO BACK AND FIND OUT WHAT WE'VE DONE OR HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD SORT OF MEEK DIDN'T WE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, WASN'T IT, WASN'T OUR MOTION ABOUT THAT.
AND WE'RE ALL FLIPPING THROUGH.
WE NEED A SEARCHABLE DATABASE EMOTIONS.
WE NEED SOMETHING WHERE BASICALLY IT'LL JUST TRIGGER US TO REMEMBER.
SO CAUSE WE'RE BUILDING ALL THE TIME ON THESE DECISIONS.
THESE ARE NOT MADE IN A VACUUM.
AND THEN I THINK ALSO WE HAVE IN 2022, WE VIDEO, THESE ARE ALL VIDEOS.
WE CAN HAVE THE VIDEO AVAILABLE WITHIN 24 HOURS SO THAT IF YOU SEE THEM, IF YOU WERE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AND I'VE ALREADY HAD THIS HAPPEN, I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT EXACTLY WAS SAID.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT SERVICE WE USE, BUT THAT THEY GET A TRANSCRIPTION.
AND IT'S KIND OF FUNNY TO READ IT.
CAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE A VOICE TRANSLATION TRANSCRIPTION, SO MANY TYPOS, UM, BUT YOU CAN ADJUST, YOU CAN GO BACK AND THEY ACTUALLY ALSO, I KNOW THE COUNTY CHANNEL DOES IT.
AND ROBIN, I DON'T KNOW IF OUR YOUTUBE, I CAN'T REMEMBER OUR VIDEO
[05:40:01]
DOES IT WHERE YOU CAN CLICK ON AN AGENDA ITEM AND IT WILL PULL UP THE FOUR MINUTE CONVERSATION THAT YOU HAD THAT'S VIDEOTAPED.SO IF WE HAVE ALL THAT, AS LONG AS THERE'S SOME WAY WHERE I CAN REMEMBER ACCURATELY WHAT HAPPENED AND IF THERE'S SOME DISPUTE BETWEEN BOARD MEMBERS OR STAFF AS TO WHAT WAS SAID, WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK UP AND GO, OKAY.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED LONG MINUTES, BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD JUST BE A LIST OF MOTIONS COMING OUT.
CAUSE OTHERWISE OPERATIONS, IT WOULD BE, WE'VE HEARD IT TO THE BOARD, LIKE ONE OF THE OTHER AGENDA ITEMS, NOTHING.
ALL OF MY SUGGESTIONS LIST EMOTIONS AS ALIVE.
JUST SOME, UH, SOMETHING THAT LETS US KNOW WHAT WE DID.
AND THEN IF WE WEREN'T INFORMATION, WE'VE GOT THE VIDEO, BUT I DO THINK WE SHOULD MAKE VIDEOS AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN 24, 48 HOURS, THAT SHOULDN'T BE HARD.
HOPEFULLY WON'T HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS STAFF AND SAID, SO I AGREE.
AND I, I THINK THE WAY WE DO IT IS YOU GO IN TO THE MEETING AND YOU HAVE AN AGENDA.
AND AS EACH ITEM IS DISCUSSED ON THE AGENDA, YOU MAKE ONE STATEMENT, THIS, THIS, LET ME MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER, THE NEXT ONE, I HAVE EMOTIONS.
AND THEN PRIOR TO LEAVING THAT, MEETING THE COMMITTEE, ROBIN, OR WHO'S EVER WRITING DOWN THOSE DANCES, THIS IS WHY I HAVE THIS.
AND EVERYONE SAYS, YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
THEY'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT BECAUSE AS YOU SAID, IT'S EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO GO BACK AND, UM, TO WATCH THE VIDEO AND IT WILL JUST GO IN WITH THE SKELETON, UM, YOU KNOW, AGENDA AND JUST, I FIND IT RIGHT AS WE TALK THE ONE SENTENCE RECAP, WHAT WAS DECIDED.
SO EVERYONE WALKS OUT OF THERE WITH THE SAME IDEA AND THEN MINUTES.
SO JUST TWO QUESTIONS, UM, WHO IS TAKING THE MINUTES, THE EXPECTATION OF THAT.
UM, AND ALSO WILL THAT HAPPEN FOR LIKE RIGHT NOW? SO AT THE END OF THIS MEETING, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE, OR RATHER WOULD REBACK DISCUSSION ON EVERY SINGLE THING IN ANY MOTION.
SO THAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER EVERY BOARD MEETING AS WELL.
I THINK BEFORE THE MEETING CONCLUDES IS THAT RECOMMENDATION.
THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.
JUST GO THROUGH IT'LL ADD SOME TIME, BUT IT REDUCES THE TIME.
SO MY CONCERN IS FOR ROBIN, YOU'RE DOING FOUR DOCS.
I MEAN JUST, IS THAT DOABLE ROBIN IN THIS DOPE? CAUSE I HAD TO TYPE IN THE MOTIONS AND BOARD, RIGHT.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU'RE BATTERY.
YOU TAKE MANY NOTES DURING COMMITTEE MEETING AND IT'S, I DIDN'T HAVE THOSE ALL BACK AND REVIEWING EVERY VIDEO IN ORDER TO PUBLISH THE MINUTES.
TO MAKE SURE THAT I CAPTURE, BUT YEAH, NO, I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST COMING FROM YOUR OWN TRANSCRIBED NOTES.
BUT WHEN WE HAVE MEETINGS THIS, FOR AN EXAMPLE, WE HAD MEETINGS EVERY DAY, THIS WEEK.
SO WHEN WE HAVE MEETINGS EVERY DAY, THERE ARE MINISTERS THAT HAVE TO COME OUT FOR EVERY DAY.
SO YEAH, SOMETIMES IT CAN DO IT AND SOMETIMES IT CAN'T, IT DEPENDS ON THE SCHEDULE.
SO WE'RE HAVING MEETINGS EVERY DAY.
LIKE WE DO THIS WEEK, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
UM, YEAH, I'VE BEEN, WELL, LET ME SAY A FEW THINGS.
WE ALL GOT THIS, THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS GUIDE COMPLIANCE WITHOUT GRIDLINES FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.
LET ME READ SECTION 34, 90 MINUTES OF MEETING OF PUBLIC BODIES, ALL PUBLIC BODIES CARE WRITTEN MINUTES OF ALL OF THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS, SUCH MINUTES SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT NEED NOT BE LIMITED TO ONE 800 PLACE.
THE MEETING, TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC BODY REPORTED AS EITHER PRESENT OR ABSENT THREE, THE SUBSTANCE OF ALL MATTERS PROPOSED, DISCUSSED, OR DECIDED, AND AT THE REQUEST OF ANY MEMBER OR RECORD BY AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF ANY VOTES TAKEN AND NUMBER FOUR, ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAN ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC BODY REQUEST TO BE INCLUDED OR REFLECTED IN MINUTES.
SO I, YOU KNOW, HAVING BEEN THE CHAIR FOR THREE YEARS IN ROBIN SUPERVISOR FOR THREE YEARS ON, I DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS THE WAY WE NEED TO GO.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, LET'S, YOU KNOW, UTILIZE HER STRENGTHS, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AS OPPOSED TO REVIEWING ALL THESE MEETINGS.
[05:45:01]
THINGS AND SPECIFICALLY I WOULD SAY IT REALLY ONLY ACTION ITEMS NEED TO BE IN THERE.UM, AND SO IF EMOTION DOESN'T GET A SECOND, THEN HAVE TO GO IN THERE.
UM, CAUSE THERE'S NO ACTION TAKEN.
UM, AND I PERSONALLY PROBABLY WOULD NOT SAY THAT SUCH AND SUCH WAS DISCUSSED.
I WOULD JUST DO THE BARE, THE BARE BONES OF THE MOTIONS.
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT MUCH EASIER FOR ROBIN BECAUSE I WAS THINKING THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD FOR HER TO SAY THIS WAS DISCUSSED AND THIS IS THE NEXT, UH, NEXT STEPS.
IF WE PUT IN ALL THIS OTHER INFORMATION AND THEN I WOULD LIMIT THEM TO THE ACTION ITEMS I NEED, WHAT WAS THE VOTE AND JUST WHAT YOU ALREADY HAS TO PUT IN FOR DOCS.
AND THAT WAY THEY CAN BE IMMEDIATE.
AND WE HAVE THE VIDEOS AND WE HAVE AUDIO IS FOR SOME OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS OR WE DID IN THE PAST.
SO EVERY ROBIN , EVERY COMMITTEE MEETING IS EITHER HAS A VIDEO OR AUDIO.
SO PEOPLE WANT MORE INFORMATION.
THEY CAN GO BACK AND REVIEW IT.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY, I WOULD SAY SHE'D BEEN MORE STREAMLINED THAN WHEN DAVID SAID, UM, I WOULD, UM, I WOULD DEFINITELY, UH, IF THERE'S AN EMOTION THAT HAS NOT BEEN SECOND AND OBVIOUSLY THAT, THAT SHOULDN'T BE NOTED AS WELL.
UM, JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT, I MEAN, YOU WANT TO KNOW IF SOMETHING HAPPENED MORAL, YOU KNOW, KINDA DIDN'T GET A SECOND SO THAT THIS WOULD'VE BEEN SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC DOCUMENT THAT IS, UH, THAT'S THERE.
AND THEN READING THAT SHELF THERE, WE'LL ALSO SET THIS DOWN THAT IF, IF A MEMBER OF THE BOARD WANTED IT TO BE ON PUBLIC RECORD, THEN THAT DIDN'T EXIST.
SO I MEAN, WHY MAKE THEM ACTUAL THAT IF YOU CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT.
I MEAN, I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM PROBABLY JUST PUTTING, HEY, SO-AND-SO MILL EMOTIONAL WHEN SECONDED.
UM, THAT'S THE FIRST THING, THE SECOND THING IS THAT WE DO HAVE TWO WEEKS, YOU HAVE TO A, TO, TO, TO, UH, TO, TO, TO, TO EMPLOY.
SO, UH, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF ONE CAN'T READ, THE OTHER ONES SHOULD BE THE QUESTION IS, IS IT HOW MUCH WORK ARE THEY IN OTHER INTERVIEWS TOO? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT TOO AS WELL.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME WE DID A TASK ANALYSIS BACK THEN, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL PROBABLY REVISIT AS WELL.
AND THEN THE THIRD, THE THIRD THING IS, UM, NEVER GOT OUT THERE.
I SAW THEM LAST NIGHT AND THE, THAT I WAS IN ME THAT WHERE AS PEOPLE WERE TALKING WAS DOCUMENTING, IF YOU SEE IT ON THE SCREEN, HOW BASICALLY WHEN I SAID, WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS IT SAYS, SO BASICALLY AS YOU'RE TALKING, IS THIS BEEN, IT WAS MAKING DOCUMENT AT THE SAME TIME.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER WAY OF HAVING IT DONE.
AND VERSUS YOU JUST GOING THROUGH THERE AND PUT ONE, TWO, OR HOWEVER YOU EDITED IT.
I MEAN, DID THEY HAVE PROGRAMS THAT COULD HELP HELP ALONG THE WAY WITH THIS INFORMATION AS WELL? BECAUSE THIS INFORMATION IS, I MEAN, SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.
SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO GO IN AND READ FOR THE INFORMATION, BUT IF IT'S THERE ON THERE, THEY WE'LL LOOK IT UP.
AND THEN, THEN THAT'S COOL AS WELL AS TO SAY NOT DO IT AT ALL.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE, WE HAVE THE, UH, THE, THE, UM, THE MATERIALS NOW.
AND THEN, THEN THE, AND THE OPTIONS OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT TO THE, I SEEN THE PROGRAM THAT AS YOU TALK, IT WILL TAP, IT WILL TIGHTEN THEM.
I THINK THAT THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE MAY BE LOOKING INTO BEFORE WE JUST SAY, HEY, STREAMLINE, THIS, THIS IS LIVING ON WITH, WITH, WITH THIS DECISION.
THE VOICE TRANSLATION SOFTWARE IS GOING TO HAVE BEEN A HECK OF A LOT BETTER THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW FOR US TO DO THAT.
IT TOOK EVERYTHING I SAID I WAS SHOCKED.
AND ONE OF MY COMMENTS WOULD BE, REMEMBER, THESE ARE THE NEEDS NEEDING TO HAVE THE UPPER BODY AS A WHOLE.
THAT'S WHY THINGS THAT AREN'T SECONDED, AREN'T INCLUDED ONE WAY DON'T MOVE BECAUSE THE BODY HAS TO TRY.
AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY WANT TO DISCUSS OR TAKE OUT.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY ACTION ITEMS. I THINK IT'S FINE.
ALSO IN ROBERT'S RULES, IT'S WHAT WAS DONE, NOT WHAT WAS SAID.
AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT THAT MIGHT THAT'S.
MY ONLY THING IS I WANT SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA AS, BECAUSE WE DO A LOT OF STUFF IN THE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
[05:50:01]
WHERE, UH, DR.STRATOS PRESENTS ON THE TSI, WE'RE STILL PART OF THE, UM, BUT I THINK JUST SOMETHING THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, DR.
MARY STRATOSE PRESENTED THE TSI REPORT FOR THIS DATE, JUST SO THAT IT'S SEARCHABLE IN TERMS OF, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A JEW.
I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE ED KEY AGENDA, SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE.
AND WHAT WAS DONE SHOULD AT A MINIMUM BE RECORDED SO THAT YOU CAN SEARCH IT.
THAT'S ALL BECAUSE WHILE THE MEAT OF THE VIDEO IS HELPFUL, WHAT I HAVE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF TIMES IS SOMEONE WILL SAY SOMETHING TO TREAT ME LIKE, REMEMBER THREE YEARS AGO.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, SO I'M TRYING TO FIND IT.
I WANT TO SEARCH AN AGENDA BY THE AGENDA ITEM.
I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE TOO TAXING.
YOU WANT A MOTION? UH, LET'S SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UM, I MOVED THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, UH, ADOPT, UH, A NEW FORMAT FOR MEETING MINUTES WHERE ONLY, UH, ACTION WILL BE RECORDED AS OPPOSED TO, I GUESS THAT'S ALL, WE'RE ONLY ACTION ITEMS WILL BE REPORTED FOR EACH AGENDA ITEM.
THAT'S HOW I LIKE TO PHRASE IT.
BOARDEX DOES NOT LOOK AS EASY TO USE AS THEY ADVERTISE WITH PRODUCT THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPT NEW FORMAT FOR MEETING DENNIS THAT ONLY ACTION ITEMS WILL BE RECORDED FOR EACH AGENDA.
ITEM THAT CAPTURE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I WAS JUST GOING TO SUGGEST THAT, UM, THE CHAIR CAN HELP WITH THIS RESPONSIBILITY AS WE MOVE THROUGH.
I DIDN'T ACTUALLY, I DON'T LIKE JUST LOOKING AT WHAT WE JUST DONE RIGHT HERE.
YOU WERE GOING TO DO WITH, UH, UH, FRED GS TO PREVENT A TEACHER BURNOUT.
THERE WOULD BE A STATEMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, MS. WALTON AND HER TEAM PRESENTED, UM, SEVERAL, UM, IDEAS OR WHATEVER, JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THE CHAIR CAN HELP AS YOU MOVE FROM TOPIC TO TOPIC FROM LINE OF LIGHT ON THE AGENDA, HELP KEEP TRACK OF THAT AND COME UP WITH A MISTAKE.
AND I THINK THAT AS A COMMITTEE CHAIR, I THINK THAT'S VERY DOABLE AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHAIR TO, TO DO THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE AND ADD, UM, ADD, UH, TO ALMOST AND ALSO IN ANY TOP OF THE DISCUSSION THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP FOR A SECOND.
JUST TO CLARIFY THE MOTION, IT SAYS ACTION ITEMS. SO DOES THAT MEAN EVEN DISCUSSION WITH, WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ACTION? JUST HAVING THAT RESULTS IN EMOTION.
I WAS DOING THIS ON THE FLY AND THAT'S NEVER A GOOD THING.
SO WE JUST NEED TO CLARIFY MAYBE WHAT, WHAT I'M TRYING TO CAPTURE AS THE DISPOSITION OR DISPATCH SENSATION, DISPOSITION OF EACH IDENT AGENDA ITEM, WHAT WAS DONE.
SO DISPOSITION, YOU THINK THAT'S DISPOSITION THIS POSSESSION? UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO, CAN WE JUST AMEND IT ON THE, OR DO YOU WANT ME TO FORMALLY AMENDED JUST INSTEAD OF SAYING ACTION ITEM, JUST SAY DISPOSITION OF EACH AGENDA FOR A MEETING THEN THAT'S THAT ONLY THE DISPOSITION OF EACH ACTION ITEM OR EACH AGENDA AGENDA DISPOSITION.
I MOVE TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WHATEVER THAT WEAPON, UM, WHAT AN EDUCATION GROUP, A NEW FORMAT THAT WILL ONLY RECORD RECORD THE DISPOSITION DISPOSITION OF AGENDA AGENDA ITEM IS DISPOSED,
[05:55:01]
ENTERED INTO PROPOSITION.IT'S DISPENSATION THAT'S CATHOLICS.
I CAN'T REMEMBER YOU BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THERE, LIKE THE BYZANTINE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.
IT'S LIKE, IT'S NOT JUST ME OF AGENDA ITEMS. I TAKE OUT THAT FORMAT OF ACTION ITEMS REMOVE THAT AGENDA ITEM WILL BE RECORDED, WHO COMPETES TO DISPOSITION EACH ITEM.
SHE HAD AN ITEM PERIOD, PERIOD, PICK UP A LITTLE PEOPLE.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTED A NEW FORMAT FOR READING THAT WILL ONLY RECORD THE DISPOSITION OF EACH AGENDA.
DIDN'T YOU'LL HEAR ME THE FIRST MESSAGE.
UM, HAVE WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE FOYA? SO EVEN THOUGH THIS DOESN'T SAY, UH, ALL ACTION ITEMS SHOULD BE RECORDED, WE'VE GOTTA DO THAT FOR ALL THE ACTION.
THE BOARD TAKES, I GUESS THE BETTER WAY TO WORD THAT, BUT IT ONLY TAKE ACTION AGENDA THAT OTHERWISE IT'S NOT, IT'S A VICIOUS CIRCLE.
I WAS JUST GOING TO DISAGREE THAT WE CAN VOTE ON SOMETHING IT'S NOT ONLY A GENERAL, A NEW MOTION, A DIFFERENT KIND OF MOTION.
AND THAT'S AN ACCIDENT OF A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON THE AGENDA.
WHAT WE, THE ADDRESS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THE DISCUSSION AS AN AGENDA DISCUSSION MIGHT EVOLVE INTO A MOTION, ACTIONABLE MOTION.
I DON'T KNOW FEDERAL BAN, BUT I CAN RECALL, BUT I'M SURE WE HAVE VOTED ON SOME THINGS THAT WEREN'T ON THE AGENDA, LIKE AN X, RIGHT? WE WOULD LOVE IT.
NOW THAT SHOULD NOT BE, OR SHOULDN'T BE, OR SHOULDN'T BE, I MEAN, REALLY YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT.
I'D LOVE AN EXAMPLE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE VOTED ON ANYTHING THAT YOU COULDN'T PUT UNDERNEATH THE UMBRELLA.
WHAT ARE THE AGENDA ITEMS? YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU SAYING THAT THEN EVERYTHING THAT WE BRING UP IS ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, IT SHOULD BE OTHERWISE IT'S OFF TOPIC AND WE'VE HAD TO SAY, OKAY, WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS NOW BECAUSE THAT'S NOT, THAT DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THIS TOPIC OR SOMETHING ANYWAY.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO WITH THAT.
[06:00:01]
UM, BECAUSE OF THE EMOTION, UH, BEFORE IT WILL NOT ALLOW THAT.AND FOR INSTANCE, JUST TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE, LIKE YOU SAID, I'LL TALK ABOUT SOMETHING TO GET THE COBRA RELATED AND WE COME UP WITH THEM EMOTION.
THEN THE QUESTION IS, I MEAN, IT SHOULD NOT BE RETREATED.
NOT SHOULD NOT BE RECORDING BECAUSE I'M UNDER THIS MOTION.
THAT PROBABLY WON'T BE THAT, THAT WON'T BE QUITE A, THAT'S NOT THE TOPIC.
IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TALKED ABOUT, WE'RE GOING THROUGH EACH AGENDA ITEM.
SO IF YOU MAKE A MOTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UNDER THAT TOPIC, IT'S GOING TO BE RECORDED THERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO LINE BY NINE ON THE AGENDA.
SO UNDER EACH ONE OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS DURING THOSE DISCUSSIONS IS WHEN MOTIONS ARISE AND SOME WOULD BE PUT UNDER THERE.
NOW, IF IT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THAT DISCUSSION, THEN THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE OR THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD NEEDS TO STOP AND SAY, WE CAN'T, IT'S NOT UNDER IT AGAIN THAT DOESN'T APPLY HERE.
BUT IF IT'S IN THE DISCUSSION OF SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO, THAT'S BEING DISCUSSED INTO THE AGENDA, THEN IT WILL BE RECORDED.
THAT'S JUST THE FIRST AND ONE ABS.
THE NEXT TOPIC WE NEED A BREAK WE'RE TO FINISH.
AND WHEN I'VE LOOKED AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT, SHE BROUGHT IT UP, THE RESULTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE BLOCKED.
YOUR GOALS AND LESS ATTORNEY WAS, HEY TORI.
AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION, WE'VE, HAVEN'T REALLY, ROY'S TALKING ABOUT WE'RE PUSHING FOR THE RESULTS WITH THE OES, OUR RESULTS ACTUALLY DOESN'T REALLY REFLECT, REALLY TRYING TO DO.
IT'S MORE SORT OF A COUNTABILITY PIECE.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE IT WASN'T NECESSARILY BY IDEA TO TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT THAT'S THE DISCUSSION WE HAD SAID, HEY, NEXT WORK SESSION, WE SHOULD MAYBE TALK ABOUT THE RESULTS SECTION.
I GET THE RESULTS SECTIONS, FORM, AND SCORES.
THEY CAN'T BE WALKED IN THAT SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT, TIMELY.
BUT I THINK IN GEN, WELL, AND I CAN PULL UP SOME OTHER COHERENT JOB.
THERE'S A WEALTH OF COHERENT GOVERNANCE SCORES THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO APPLY IN PUBLIC LAND FOR THERE MORE THAN I'VE BEEN IN DECLINE, BUT LIKE RECEIVE WISCONSIN SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SOUTH KITSAP COUNTY, YOU KNOW, I LOOKED AT THEM AND IT'S MORE SORT OF, UM, AND THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC MEASURABLE AND ATTAINABLE THINGS.
I CAN PULL ONE UP TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
IT'S LESS METRIC FOCUSED THAN OURS IS.
AND THEN THAT IS LIKE THE OPPOSITE WHERE I'M NOT SAYING THESE WERE EXPOSED.
AND IN MY OPINION, IT'S MISSING A FEW THINGS, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BASED ON MATH SCORES, BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK AT SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL WELLBEING.
IT DOESN'T LOOK AT 21ST CENTURY JOB SKILLS.
IT DOESN'T LOOK AT IMPROVEMENTS AND ACUTE PROGRAMS. IT DOESN'T LOOK AT A LOT OF THINGS.
I THINK WE'RE LIMITING OURSELVES TO BASED ON STATISTICS THAT YOU CAN'T MEASURE
[06:05:05]
RESULTS.SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO JUST REFER THIS TO THE RESULTS COMMITTEE YOU MENTIONED MEASURABLE SOMEWHERE AND THE OTHER TOOLS THAT'S ALSO KIND OF SUBJECTIVE, I GUESS, LIKE JUST EVALUATION PROCESS, JUST SOME OF THOSE, UM, HAVING SERVED ON THE RESULTS COMMITTEE, THE NEW GUINEA, I JUST WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE CAME UP WITH THESE MEASURABLE GOALS BECAUSE THEY WERE THE GOALS, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, UH, THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP, UM, FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND TEACHER RETENTION.
THOSE WERE THE FOUR GOALS THAT WE HAD.
SO WE WROTE, UM, UH, SMART GOALS AROUND THOSE FOUR GOALS.
SO THAT'S WHERE THIS THAT'S HOW THIS ALL STARTED.
AND NOW OUR LAST AGENDA REVISED WORK PLAN, REALLY NO REVISION ON IT.
BASICALLY THE CONVERSATION THAT THE BOARD HAD, THE ONLY, THE ONLY THING I WOULD CONSIDER IT FOR REVISION IS THE REMOVAL OF THE SUBSECTIONS, UH, UM, OR RIGHT BACK.
UM, YOU'RE DEALING WITH SPECIFICALLY THE OVERALL E ON, ON THIS FORM AS WELL AS THE LAST CONVERSATION THAT THE BOARD HAS.
SO THE ONLY THING WE DID HERE WAS JUST THINK OUT OF THE SUBSECTION.
I SEE A QUARTERLY REVIEW OF THE ATSI PRIORITY SCHOOLS.
I KNOW I'M FIXATED ON THIS BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE THAT SIGNED THE DOCUMENT FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THAT WE WOULD DO THIS.
AND SO WE MUST DO THIS IN MY MIND, BUT THERE'S ONLY THREE ON HERE.
SO I THINK THE WRITING MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, THE REASON IT HAS A THREE OUT THERE IS BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY THREE MAP DATA SECTIONS, UH, THAT'S THREE MAP DATA ADMINISTRATIONS.
[06:10:01]
SO THEN WE DO AN ADDITIONAL VIEW WITH THE STATE TO HAVE FOUR OF THESE OR NOT TO BE ON HERE.BUT THEY WANT TO GO THREE MONTHS, THREE MONTHS, THREE MONTHS, HOWEVER IT SHIFTS OUT AND WE'LL CHECK OUT.
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE NEW DATA, YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE SOME COMMITTEE IS DOING THIS AT THIS SCHOOL OR WHATEVER.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ALL BE SO, SO, SO IT'LL BE JANUARY, APRIL, APRIL.
UM, SO IF THE BOARD LIKES TO APPROVE IT WITH THAT MODIFICATION AND PRIORITY SCHOOL, JUST A MINUTE TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE, UM, WHAT YOU HAVE ON HERE FROM FEBRUARY UP TO JANUARY, WE'RE GOING TO ADD AN APRIL ONE AND THE OTHER TWO.
AND WE'RE GOING TO ADD THAT APRIL ON QUARTERLY REVIEW, APRIL, JANUARY, APRIL.
UM, YOU WANT TO PIN DOWN THE DAY, JUST, JUST A, LET'S SEE HOW THE AGENDA FALLS OUT.
WE'LL PUT IT IN A BOX, BUT GOOD POINT JANUARY, APRIL, JULY, IF YOU APPROVE IT, GENERALLY WOULD APPROVE IT.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO COMMENT ABOUT? YOU SHOULD, EXCUSE ME, ALWAYS MY HAND.
I MEAN, THIS IS, WE STARTED WITH THIS AND THAT'S A CONVERSATION WENT TO ADDING A SUBSECTION.
SO, BUT THEN AFTER THE TRAINING AND THE EXPERIENCE OF AND WE SAID, LET'S GO BACK TO THE FORMAT AND THEN WE'LL JUST ADD THOSE.
SO I MOVED THAT WE ACCEPT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL WORK PLAN PRESENTED TODAY.
THE WORK SECTION OF, UH, JANUARY 28TH, 2022 WITH THE MODIFICATION THAT THE API IS ATSI PRIORITY SCHOOL, QUARTERLY UPDATE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE BOARD IN JANUARY, APRIL, JULY, AND OCTOBER.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ANNUAL WORK PLAN WITH THE MODIFICATION.
WHAT'D YOU SAY? I SAID, I KNEW THAT THE, THE BEAVER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL WORK PLAN AS PRESENTED ON JANUARY 28TH, 2022 WITH A MODIFICATION THAT THE APSI AND PRIORITY SCHOOL, QUARTERLY UPDATES ARE GIVEN IN JANUARY, APRIL, JULY, AND OCTOBER.
THIS JANUARY, APRIL, JULY, AND OCTOBER.
[06:15:04]
I MOVE THAT.WE ACCEPT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ANNUAL WORK PLAN AS PRESENTED ON JANUARY 28TH, 2022, WITH A MODIFICATION OF THE ATI PRIORITY SCHOOLS BE GIVEN IN JANUARY, APRIL, JULY, AND OCTOBER.
THAT'S NOT QUITE CORRECT BECAUSE I SAID, I KNEW THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, EXCEPT IT'S THE BEAVER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT DOCUMENTS, IT'S THE BEAVER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL WORK PLAN OF ON 20TH, SECOND, WILLIAM.
I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, EXCEPT THE BUTTE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL WORK PLAN AS PRESENTED ON JANUARY 20, 20, 22 WITH THE MODIFICATION OF AGI AND PRIORITY SCHOOLS BE GIVEN IN JANUARY.
I'M JUST ADD THE WORD QUARTERLY UPDATES OR QUARTERLY REPORTS AFTER THE WORD SCHOOLS.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S REALLY JUST TSI PSIS IT REALLY SHOULD BE TSI.
ANY DISCUSSION COMMENT? JANUARY BUSINESS SESSION LISTED DO NOT A LIST OF THE CALENDAR RECESSION JANUARY, RIGHT? WE WOULD HAVE A WORK SESSION IN JANUARY.
WE PICKED A MUCH EVERY QUARTER NEXT MONTH.
ALL OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE NOT LISTED ON THIS DOCUMENT.
THIS DOCUMENT IS ONLY ABOUT WHEN ANNUAL WORK PLAN WORK IS GOING TO BE DONE.
SO WHILE THE QUALITY TO BE ON THE GALLON HAS TO BE ON THIS DOCUMENT RIGHT NOW.
JUST SAY, YOU'VE GOT TO ADD ANOTHER CATEGORY TO GET THAT.
UH, WE MOVE IN THAT LIBRARY BUSINESS SESSION TO JANUARY, FEBRUARY, NO WORK SESSION THERE THOUGH, RIGHT? WE'RE JUST TAKING IT WHERE IT WAS IN FEBRUARY ATSI, BUT IT WAS REGULAR BUSINESS SESSION OF DAY IN THE FUTURE.
IT WILL BE A WORD IN JANUARY, WHICH IS NOT REFLECTED IN THIS DOCUMENT, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE IT TO A CHALLENGER
