[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] All right, so meeting number three. We finally got to this point. I thank
everyone who's been involved in this process. And um who's clicking? Are you clicking for me? Make sure everybody's signed in. Uh we have new folks that we added to uh our list of participants. and I appreciate your input. It's valuable to us, to the school district
as we move forward with our three-year plan. So, thanks again. Go ahead. Anybody Everybody signed in? Okay. All right. Go ahead. Thanks again to the committee. This will be posted online. Um, and when we present to the
board of education, your names uh will be shared with them as well. Thank you to our board members who uh been with us through this process. um Mr. Byer, Mrs. Heyman, and Mr. Dela Barka. So, thank you so much. As you know, we began in March. We had our April meeting where we
developed themes very, very interesting in developing a vision. And tonight, we get to place the goals, the objectives, and the timeline as we begin our action plan for the next three years beginning July 1, 2025. So, we're going to get ready. Go ahead. We're going to get cute
with you um here and we're going to wrap things around a sore. As you all know, that's a very important acronym in our district. But tonight, we have um some other meanings to the letter. So, strengths, we're going to go over our strengths, and that's what you shared
with us. Committee shared with us, the strengths that we have in Egg Harbor Township School District. We also went over the opportunities, which were the themes, the ideas that you gave us. That was our last meeting, our top opportunities and priorities. And then we're going to get into our aspirations
with which are the goals and then the results which will be the the strategic priorities. All right. So that's what I'm going to take you through today. Tonight we have an exercise and we're going to get u to work. It's going to be intense work. It's going to be deep thought but we're going to get through
this. So just a quick review S the strengths um strengths in the school district our teachers and staff the diversity and culture that we celebrate and that we have our programs and opportunities that we offer our students. All right. And and you know when the themes came out, you can see
while this was the strength, you can also notice well there wasn't really much recommendations for new courses or programs like that because I feel like people are satisfied and happy with what we have and we hear that through um the surveys that were given. Next, moving on to O the opportunities. We went over
this in April. uh the themes that came out of the work that you did and the surveys that we that we had student and staff support communication technologies and and artificial intelligence and then facilities. All right, we're going to break it down. So, under student and
staff support, these are the themes that came out of the work that we did when we did the round robin and we expressed ourselves and wrote down our ideas on the paper. Social, emotional, and life skills. Um just we'll explain a little bit what um I guess what we got out of
it would be programming for coping behaviors job readiness and other essential life skills and you're going to elaborate on this tonight training and professional development for teachers security staff par professionals regarding student supports transition supports supporting supports
for teachers and students as they move between buildings and grade levels and family education enga and engagement to get more families involved. olved in the things that we do. Moving on to communication and this one really made me nervous because when I first saw communication coming out a lot coming
out on top I was like we don't communicate that you know we do our best we try to you know communicate everything that we do. Well it's the opposite. We communi we overcommunicate and we communicate with too many resources. All right and it gets confusing for parents. You know where do
I go find this for athletics? Where do I find this for my third grade student? where do I go find this for my AP students? So, we need to provide some sort of consistent messaging and communication with families where there's one voice and one central platform for that communication. All
right. Accessibility for all. Uh we need to look at how we're going to translate that trans u that communication to our to our families and meet the needs of our diverse community. Clear timely updates. Here's where I just explained. There's too many emails or unclear
messages that overwhelm parents. They prefer text or push notifications for important updates. Consistent and timely posting of student performance in progress. This has a lot to do um with the posting of their grades, getting them um posted on time. And then
increased parent engagements. Look to improve u the notifications. Moving on to technology, access and equity, equitable access to technology. That was a theme that came out of this uh student training in technology. An example would be internet
safety, parent education, training on the technology platforms that we have and the new ones that we're looking at for communication as well as as our AI powered systems and then innovation to explore technologies and innovative
teaching. Okay. Facilities was the last area that came out as a theme and when we asked you to give your feedback. Modernization of buildings looking to upgrade old facilities, better air quality, the HVAC systems, improved lighting, flooring and
bathrooms in some of our buildings. Physical infrastructure improvements. Um feedback was playgrounds, fencing, water filtration systems and locker usage, technology and internet access. expand access to devices and hotspots and
inclusive and safe spaces, more specialized rooms and mental health spaces. So this is the collection of feedback that we received uh from you when you went around and you wrote on the paper and you provided the feedback to the facilitator. Okay. All right. So
now we move on to the A and the R of Soore aspirations and our results. That's what this meeting will be about based on the feedback and the data that we will present and share with you um on the the handouts. Okay. All right. So, to let you know what our strategic plan
looks like, it's wrapped around embrace, engage, educate. It's wrapped around our mission statement. It's a you unique strategic plan. Not many districts do it this way. In fact, when I first became superintendent and I proposed to do it this way, we were working with school boards at the time and they were like,
"Wow, I've never seen it this way." And I insisted. I said, 'Well, it wraps the mission statement and it'll have goals and it'll have these strategic priorities in it. And then finally, they came back and they said, "You know what? It's a pretty good idea. Go ahead." So, that's what we've been using. We've been using this framework. So, we'll have
goal one, which will be under uh embrace. Goal two will be um engage. Goal three will be educate. But what we're going to focus on is a it'll look like a goal statement and a strategic priority. So, the goal statement will be what we're calling the aspirations tonight. and the strategic priority will
be the results. Now, when you look at the strategic plan, you'll see an area that says initiatives. The initiatives are going to be for the central office administration um to come up with that how to do it, what we're going to do it, what resources we have, and how we're
going to implement your ideas. All right. So, that's what it looks like. This is what we want to build tonight. All right. So now we're going to start with our exercise and we're going to break out into sections of embrace which will cover the student and staff support. So if you're interested in
that, just take a moment. That's where you want to go. There'll be an area right up here to my right, your left. There's an engage area which is all about communication and that was moved to the back right there. And then the educate has to do with district
facilities, technology, and AI. And that is right in this area. Okay. There'll be a central office administrator facilitating each area. And then this is how things are going to work.
Ready? All right. Miss Maltz is going to explain. Okay. So each whatever group you choose to be a part of, you're going to receive a document here that is going to have on it the
aspirations and results. You're going to go into small groups of two or three first. Talk about it. Come up with ideas around those aspirations and results. We're probably going to have a five minute timer for that. Then when that timer goes off, one group of two or
three is going to get with another group of two or three and you're going to share. You're going to share your ideas and together you're going to come to a consensus about aspirations and results. And then that new group of four to six is going to share with another new group
of four to six. And we're going to keep going until the whole group comes to a consensus with the administrator and they're going to have the final version of those aspirations and results. So once you choose if you want to be an embrace, engage or educate, you're going
to find a partner. You can have groups of three, but we're going to ask to not get into anything larger than that for the first five minutes. This way everybody's voice gets to be heard. And then after that first five minutes, we'll direct you to share with another
small group. Okay? So embrace is going to be up here. Educates in the middle and engage is in the back. [Music] [Music]
Heat. Heat. [Music]
Okay, it's time for us to share out And um we're going to have one person other than the administrator share out what your group consensus is on these areas. All right. So let's begin with
embrace which has to do with student and staff support. Okay. Um, so we came to a consensus for our long-term aspiration to be for all staff and families to be empowered and equipped to support uh students in developing strong behavioral life and
mental health skills. And then the other things as well, our short-term indicators were academic success, attendance, behavioral data, climate and culture survey data and intervention data. And our long-term
indicators longitudal longitudinal that straight across data uh transition plans, academics, attendance and behavior. Is that engaged group ready? All right, come on up.
All right. Okay. So for engage um our long-term aspiration was to streamline communication in one platform with timely clear for example um language and translation services and
consistent communication. We wanted to consider the difference between highlights and additional news. So to make sure that we're clear in our communication of if you're just trying to find something quickly and dates, is there one kind of drop down arrow for that? And then if
you want to see additional news, student um you know, highlights, things like that. And there was a communication or a consideration, I'm sorry, for additional um options with monthly newsletters or a monthly calendar from each school and pushing that out. So, you know, families
could have a calendar for each of their buildings or even the district, you know, on their refrigerator or at um you know in their phone. Our short-term indicators of success um did we uh complete a needs assessment evaluating our current options or what we currently use and was a platform then
chosen and our long-term indicators of success. Has there been an increase in engagement? Participation at events and results of potential survey. Are people feeling informed? Okay, thank you.
So re regarding the the resources um does any did anyone have any uh suggestions for platforms? I mean we've done some research on platforms but does anyone have any knowledge or experience with any platforms used for commun
consistent communication? Yes. No. Remind what else? We also do Jojo. We also had the question of like is there anything that we currently have and maybe the answer is yes um like infinite campus is there more that we could add on to it to
currently use something we have to kind of enhance it uh since that's already available. Okay. All right. Well, we at central office are aware that there are uh four or five vendors out there that have products that could meet our needs.
So, uh we will take it as our initiative uh to continue to explore and then share out um with what we found and um latch on to one of them that'll work. Okay. All right. Educate. All right. They gave me the paper. So, I guess I'm sure they
did. Or did you take the paper? They gave it to you or you took it. All right. We got a We had a lot to say. Hey, everybody. I'm not going to tell a joke today. I could, but I'm not. All right. So, we had a So, we got
educate facilities over here. Long um uh long-term aspiration. You know, looking at some of the the feedback here was a basically a cons uh consistency with the HVAC systems. Uh and then making sure the tools are updated, the I say tools, updating the
tools in the system as far as the lighting, the flooring and deagifying the buildings uh to make sure that uh we find a way to uh improve the improve them and then finding a reporting process for when there's problems and then having accountability to get those
fixed. So one of the big pieces was, you know, there's things that break and then nobody knows about them or they tell somebody and then they never get fixed and it gets forgotten about. So having accountability for that is a is a pretty aspirational piece. Um you know short-term indicators would be you know consistency with the building
temperatures and then consistent access to the internet, the phones, things like that where it sounds like there's a lot of inconsistency with the the cell coverage in the buildings. Um and then the long-term indicator would be uh overall uh overall comfort in the schools for the students and staff uh to
use upgraded equipment in a fluid learning space that uh can be used for both educational and specialized uh reasons. I see a nod. So all right, sympathy nod. I guess
it's even worse. All right. Uh, next one is your technology, AI, literacy. So you know long-term is uh you know uh basically finding a way to educate the students and staff on the latest technology and resources uh including the parents and
finding ways to make them better digital citizens and uh using the tools available for uh problem solving not just to do the work for them uh and then using that to uh expand their ability to get certifications they can use outside
of uh their time here at uh EHT in the school system. So things like you know Excel classes and the different tools that are available out there. Uh the results would be uh you know making sure that there's equitable access to the different uh AI tools and the long and uh hang on a
second start that over uh ensuring there's equitable access to both parents and students uh for the different tools including AI and the education around it. We know it's kind of a tricky thing but based on some of the district demographics it might not be as accessible to some people as others. And
then uh long-term indicators of success would be tracking students uh perhaps or doing a survey after high school and making sure that we can follow up and see if those were usable tools for them when they were here. And if they were, reinforce that by knowing that they worked. And if they weren't, then making sure we pivot and find things that they
can use because if we show them things that are no good, then it obviously doesn't it was a waste of time. And so being more efficient with that uh as well. And then there was all kinds of other facility ones I could go back to, but I'm pretty good. You sure?
We have any more. There you go. Get the clap going. Thank you. I need that. Yes, I do. Thank you. Now, is there anything else committee sitting here that comes to mind that you'd like
to share? You'd like for us to research, implement, initiate those kind of things. Anything else? Because I applaud you for coming out for three meetings for being taking the deep dive into communicating and sharing. Um, is there
anything else? Please raise your hand and speak. Lindsay. Um, another thing that we had discussed was here education about technology and how to support their children at home. Um, with what they're seeing with phones, we were talking about that with discipline at home too and being able to protect their
children. So, just somehow trying to continue to educate the children, but also the families to be able to keep them safe on both decks. So, parenting classes were discussed um ways to be able to to help them. Okay. So to educate the parents as well and to bring
them uh into the equation and we talk about that a lot. Um and I can stand here and say that you know we have the students six hours a a day. Um and there are parents that need some information with regarding what's going on in the
schools. They need assistance with uh their their their students. Um sometimes they're they're out of control or doing things that the parent don't understand. So we need to embrace the parents, bring the parents in and offer maybe workshops or um you know trainings for the parents
to help them as well. Yes. I also talk about life but the table stuff for staff because not only the students need it sometimes the staff need it as well. Um because sometimes when you are not if you you're not deescalated and you're in
a situation where a child needs to be deescalated to to um energies in that way is not going to be a productive situation. Um you spoke about that and maybe having training on how to utilize some techniques. I talked about how I use pass interference. Sometimes the
staff will call inside your passing interference and we kind of give them a moment to take five minutes to get themselves together to remove themselves from a situation where they may make a wrong decision or respond in a way they should not um because sometimes things are very overwhelming social emotional um
techniques and training for staff as well. So, they learn how to um take a moment in case you didn't hear it in the back, take a breather uh so they can reset and then address. Um I have a question back here. Hi. Um I know we
talked about equitable access for all students, but just to really, you know, I'm a big advocate for our MD community and others. Um I know they have classes available to them on their level for the
required classes but in terms of technology with media included etc. Maybe looking at that in a way that it still could be offered um in that room for them instead of it not being an option at all.
Well I would like to see that. Okay. So offering some of our specials if you will or certain courses uh to equitable to to all students because I know you and I spoke Spencer has uh you know embraced and engaged himself into um things that aren't offered to him in
school but he's succeeding outside of school right okay cool yes so um so we also talked about uh transition supports we love having that vertical articulation
and we talked about possibly doing it during the three uh trimester. So we could talk with that grade level above or below what it looks like in the beginning of our year, what the data looks like, where the benchmarks are. We mid year when we have that second
trimester and then do the same like we did this year at the very end. Um because the one thing I took away and my a lot of my teachers took away was um I think it's important for teachers in the next grade level to hear or see
where they are when we get them when kindergarten gets them where they are and to have that open dialogue more than once a year. Right. So for everyone what she's talking about is our last professional learning time with our teachers and staff. they had the ability
to articulate with the grade level uh their next grade level um so teachers could talk about student performance and student needs those students are moving to the next grade level. So what Miss McCarron is saying is she enjoyed that opportunity and would like to see it more times during the year which I think
is you know we we we had a lot of success for with the exercise that we did last week. Um so I think it's something that we would look forward to continuing uh next year. Okay. Anything else? It would be nice if we talked about how
intimidating it can be coming from the intermediate level to the middle school level because it's a larger school and a larger population to have maybe a shadow day um with maybe the the honor society students can like to have an opportunity
to show the students that are going to be coming upcoming middle school students. an idea of what the day in life of a middle school student looks like. I know other schools are doing it. Like I know St. Joe's they inbox me all the time. They have a eighth grade program they're piloting this upcoming school year and they have a program
where they're allowed to bring like you can come and have your child shadow another student. So I think that would be nice to not make it so intimidating and maybe even from the eighth grade going to 9th grade it would be nice to have like a day for that. And I also really feel like a cultural competency
and awareness is very needed as well. Um there's so many different cultures in Acorn Township and is growing and to be able to understand what's disrespectful and what is cultural. Um those are only two things. Good point. You we got all that
reported. Yeah, just to just to piggy back off of just to piggy back off of what you said is that um I did have a teacher ask for um because our kids are going to be going from Swift Slay into Miller and the they are doing they are going over for a trip. They will spend some time over there, but it's I think
it's an hour and a half. Our kids are MD. By the time they settle in and kind of get an idea of what they're doing, they're already loading them back up on the bus. So maybe spending more time doing more of what she's speaking about a shadow so that they really do have a time to see what's going on. And we do have a time at that time to see if we
need to put more of a transition plan in place because with an hour and a half they're all wound up. If you give them a chance to settle in, you can see what kids might need more support with. Okay, good point. Not what do we have in the back? Anyone else? Oh, I was just we mentioned it within the group and I kind
of just had the idea like that um like a lot of people can't make it to the meeting and I don't know if like you guys might already do it like maybe send out an email or a text like of a recap of everything that happened and just I mean I know it's a it's it's a tough battle but you know whatever we could do
to get more parents to voice their opinion and get involved. um whether it be like the cyber training or like I know there's like videos we have to watch at work that like you have to you know make sure you're compliant and what have you. So whether it be announcing events or cyber training or you know
what happened and the conclusion of our meeting and the results that we got um you know I texting, email and dojo are all I think are all necessary because everybody has a different way that they like to communicate. So, um I don't know if there's any kind like video material
or anything that we could put out there to get more engagement. Just so you know, you're on the camera. Yeah. On to the next meeting. On to the next meeting. And on our website, you'll be able to see meeting one, meeting two, and this meeting will be available um
for viewing as well. But what I got also out of what you said is good point. You mentioned training videos that maybe you you know you do at work. Um that's great idea. we could create videos and then to have an area on the website where a parent can go for some training or and even if it's not today like I was
fortunate enough to have today off so I was able to make it but you know if it's on a Tuesday or Thursday as much as I want to be here I just can't they also mentioned for the training for the tools so parents could get used to what their students are using to have like the live
zoom but record them so parents can't need it to put them on and they reflected back we shared how during co we had a lot of those training videos. So, whatever resources their students were using. Yeah, we had a whole page. So, maybe just updating some of those. We'll just put them on the website. So,
everything's like that. It's still there. No, they need to be updated. And our website needs to be updated. Even like a live chat like was a Facebook live where people are interacting. So, you could record that. But then questions can get asked and it
can be whether it's one of us or a panel when you have like that live you know. So you're going to be you're going to be on call 24/7 AI tour one night Mr. Smith. No but I got you there actually is a tool that does that. So AI anything else
describe um just seeing from uh my involvement with theater group and uh what I've heard from some of the other groups with activities parents that are stepping into the activity to help run it on behalf of the boosters or the other parents coming in not knowing what
to do, not knowing what the procedures are, not knowing what who to talk to about things. having some kind of documentation that can be going from year to year to year for these new parents who are stepping into a program so they can continue to support it. It was just because we had a couple of
long-term parents that were in the theater program that I knew who to talk to about getting access to water and all of those other things. [Music] Gota want to piggy back on like sharing of the strategic planning a lot of staff
and parents don't realize what we're doing here. Yeah. A lot of people think they're coming to a board meeting where our administration is standing up here talking and we just sit here and listen. And we have been trying to recruit more people to come and say like, "No, it's
interactive. They are listening to what we're saying." I don't know if we could give a better description of what the strategic planning procedures are. That we're not just here to listen to everyone that already, you know, knows what they're doing, but maybe that
they're it's about sharing ideas and coming up with a better plan because I think that communication is getting lost also. Maybe we got to get them to watch the meeting, right? So they can think cuz we've talked to teachers at our school and we're like, "Come, it's fun."
like we do. I'm like it is fun. I'm like you get to talk to people and your peers and people who are administration and stuff in a different environment where they're they're listening to your parents and stuff like that. We appreciate that. We
think it's fun. But I I think what the beauty of it is just what you said, people are talking and interacting and um get to express their opinions and and it's in a different form. So yeah, it's great. No, I I appreciate everybody's time and people coming out and saying
that it's fun. Makes me feel good. Interactive workshop. Interactive workshop. The word interactive is key, right? People got to get humans interacting. Very important. I was just going to know we have our administrators meeting tomorrow. So I'm sitting here
thinking like maybe we can brainstorm how we can bring this into like a faculty meeting or at the building level and then being able to kind of support what this work really is because it is really important when you see those surveys, you know, because there are times where people can't physically be
here and we all understand that but the surveys are important. Like those surveys drove the the work too. So there's lots of ways for people to get involved. That's a really great point. So maybe tomorrow we can come up with a way to kind of highlight that and bring
it so the next time because it'll be here before we know it. Um more more people will be educated on it. What was the response rate on the last survey? Which survey? The one that just came out. So it's still open, but we've actually had more participation with
that survey than we did the strategic planning. So like like 10% it was like 47. I'm going to say off the top of my head, we're at a total of 800 between staff and parents. So that's doubled from where we were. That's right. And it's not closed yet. So if you haven't taken it, please take the parent survey and staff survey. The survey closes
Friday. Did you send it to more people? It's the same same audience. Just maybe the wording of it. That's double your response rates on it. That's significant. So we have had more success with the staff survey. just this is the third year we've done it with staff at the first time we did with parents and
we found that the interestingly the staff has not all responded quite as quickly as they typically had but the parents actually responded at a faster rate. We could have took your information so they might be a little shy to that's important you know I know how I felt when I first walked in this
district I was very intimidated I came from a different county and I'm now raising my son in a county that I have no idea about. So here I am. I'm the mom with the autism kid. How do I get help? I got handed a device here. Make him do it. I can't. Somebody needs to teach me.
So, I absolutely understand what you're saying from the door. If my program was when we had orientation for kindergarten, this was my biggest thing. I was put in a room with my partner Briana from the psyche. Our kids were put in a room. Jed kids were separated from us.
I had to get my head wrapped around it at first because I'm like, well, I'm sitting here with J teachers, not MD teachers. I come to find out there was no special education. I know you guys have your vacation during summer. I appreciate it and I appreciate everything you guys do, but when it comes to new kids coming into this
system and into the section where I've felt alone. So, it taken me a couple years to stand up and say, "Hi, I need help." And it did. It's taken me a while. and and even for me to sit here right now like freaking out inside and I have no reason to
just a little bit more help from us. That's all we're just hi you need help. So I know meetings right and yes Henley Pam is very busy and she she hears us a
little on board with us uh last year or so. So, uh, she definitely hears you loud and clear and we'll we'll look to improve on that. Yeah. So, anything else? Click that. Next slide. Okay. I got one more comic. Oh, boy.
I think I think you got to just because I was just thinking about like, you know, there's been a lot of talk about better engagement, more information, everything like that. you know it every opportunity you have to to bring these kinds of questions and discussions for parents you need to have like if there's a anytime there's national night there's always huge attendance that you need to
have a 10 and you have to say hey we got a 30 second survey for you and at least try to get some information out of them then because you get you're not going to be able to do a 10-minute survey when it's there but like national night out they did the preschool thing like there's parents there's kids like that's when your biggest you have high
engagement you got a touch point with like you're going to be able to get in front of the parent that you might not otherwise eyes get I think you have to lean into those opportunities to get feedback and at least try to use that as I say break the door down but like you know to gently nudge it open for engagement so that way every opportunity
that comes up when they see a survey it oh I just talked about this or this it's it's easier to re-engage like the fact that you've doubled your response rate out of like that's like statistically wild that it happens but it's also probably because they saw two more come through and maybe they took I don't know
how many people logged in maybe they took half the survey. The first survey was really long. This last one was really fast. Like maybe they more people opened it, but they didn't complete it because it was too long. So, I just think that those are little things. You have to try to use those touch points to
engage parents because like it's tough watching this few people with that many kids in the district knowing that this is the audience you're going to get to work off. Not that we did a bad job. I think we all did great. So, but I think it's important to know that like there's a lot of uninions. This is a good number
audience. This is my third strategic plan that I've been through and this is about what what we get. So, you know, you're right. More people have have to get out. I don't know if it's they're satisfied so they don't want to come express themselves or that like, you know, they don't know who to come speak to. I don't know. But we will use more
surveys and hopefully this new communication system will we'll be able to get ourselves out there. I just I'm sorry. I just wanted to add to that also maybe collaborate with the youth organizational sports that's a lot of you know sports outside of here but
still within the township you know they will be there cheering have something there as well the pal you know all those outside recreational places the rec center okay next slide you have
okay So, here's where we are. You have told us the what, right? We recorded the what. It's it's the information that you came to consensus on. That's the what, the goals, the strategic priorities. Now, we central office, my administrative team are going to figure
out the how. The how, which initiatives that we can put in place with products that we have to explore to purchase uh to make this uh to meet the goals and strategic priorities of the strategic plan. All right. So that over the next three years I want to be well somebody
will be standing up here saying we met that strategic plan. All right and we're proud of that. All right. So now what we'll do is we'll get back to central office and we will work on the how we'll get the initiatives in place. We'll fill it in in the framework
and then we'll present it to the board of education at the June 17th meeting where the board of education will uh vote to accept that plan uh to go into place in action on July 1. Okay. We have your emails and we will send you a copy
of the strategic plan as well. Once it's approved by the board of education, it'll be posted on the website, okay, for all to see. And then we use this as a template um as a guide for us as we budget, as we purchase, as we um you
know implement different programs and strategies in into our school district. This one's a little different uh than than ones in the past, but um it's um it's it'll it'll work. It'll be good. It's the word of you folks. It's the word of the community, so we'll make it
