00:57:34.316 --> 00:57:43.660
school, Fine Arts. I did want to highlight. We do have a new art teacher this year Mriano, who is a governing job, I've been in her classroom a number of times

121
00:57:43.660 --> 00:57:52.201
throughout the year and you know what she's doing and the fresh ideas. She's bringing is awesome because they're really enjoying that. There's other performing

122
00:57:52.201 --> 00:58:00.476
arts offerings at the high school. Now, what we're here for the highlights of the Fine, Performing Arts Department and I got to say that putting this

123
00:58:00.476 --> 00:58:07.616
presentation together this year and doing this. And I said it, you know, when I shared it with Chuck and Gino earlier was probably the hardest

124
00:58:07.616 --> 00:58:16.225
presentation. I've had it. There was so many things that happened for me to kind of sit through and just have a highway was a was a big challenge. But so, here we go. So artists and

125
00:58:16.225 --> 00:58:24.867
residents we're fortunate last year and we had an artist in Residence, Grant through the young audiences, we apply for that ran. Again, this year and

126
00:58:24.867 --> 00:58:33.275
we're awarded it for Tatum the Grants for Tatum was a little bit different than having a member it was centered around, Chinese, Puppetry and Puppet.

127
00:58:33.275 --> 00:58:41.517
Theater, Chinese Theater. So, this one was a little bit different. This is a mosaic and you'll see a full picture in a minute. Now, this is a full

128
00:58:41.517 --> 00:58:49.659
school project that came together. Fifth graders created their mosaic pieces. So it's kind of like a memory thing for them Younger students, work on creating palm pebbles, at Texas

129
00:58:49.659 --> 00:58:58.067
Mosaic students work on leaving you using various fabrics we had a little Were created by the kindergartners. So it's kind of

130
00:58:58.067 --> 00:59:06.208
like a full-on project we had two artists that we got this ran for, it's about 11,000. Grant the artist Gail and Kate were our mosaic and they're, you know, their artists that came

131
00:59:06.208 --> 00:59:14.250
and they worked directly with the students. You can see them in the pictures there. This was supported by the Tatum PTA. They

132
00:59:14.250 --> 00:59:22.358
so the grant provides the artists and then the school needs to provide the funding for the material. So, the PTA provided administration is not

133
00:59:22.358 --> 00:59:31.567
to provide that funding for us and you can see, Here's the finished product. It took place in the outdoor classroom was where it was installed. So if we

134
00:59:31.567 --> 00:59:38.541
go around the back of the school, it's lining that area right there. Where The routine yields the Full mosaic the

135
00:59:38.541 --> 00:59:53.856
meetings. So yeah, so it was a very exciting thing for the, for the teams. Next up, Connors ensembles. As you've seen over these past couple, we've had a

136
00:59:53.856 --> 01:00:02.531
large influx of students who about participated the honors ensembles I didn't want to highlight, we had for the first time in eight years. A student successfully audition and make

137
01:00:02.531 --> 01:00:13.409
all set Jersey jazz, which is the first time this is happening here. So, that just goes to show that continuing growth of the program. And what we're looking to accomplish.

138
01:00:14.644 --> 01:00:23.219
Teen Arts. This is. I think the second or third year that we went to Teen Arts Team Arts, Camden County and then it goes to a whole festival. up in

139
01:00:23.219 --> 01:00:32.127
Middlesex County. They went to Middlesex County two days ago back on the second we had two students from the Camden County, Our I'm Sorry, two groups. One of the dance group and one

140
01:00:32.127 --> 01:00:41.837
vocalist make it to the next round. And then we went up on the second competed. That's a three-day festival. The concluded yesterday. So we're waiting here. The results from

141
01:00:41.837 --> 01:00:51.948
that festival but I may have in addition to In addition to being able to perform, they also are an opportunity to do

142
01:00:51.948 --> 01:00:57.520
workshops and stuff with artists. So it's a good full day experience for them. Arts integration, something, we've been kind of focusing on and you

143
01:00:57.520 --> 01:01:06.262
kind of alluded to it. With last night are with the concerts second graders have been doing a lot of readers here, fifth grade Miss, Robert's class and

144
01:01:06.262 --> 01:01:23.012
the LA Overcentral. Did a whole song lyrics writing the middle school work with science on Earth rotation and creating things. We saw that AP Spanish students creative legends from

145
01:01:23.012 --> 01:01:30.052
Spanish speaking countries and this is the one. I'm really excited. I'm gonna say about all this but this one is really cool because this is kind of

146
01:01:30.052 --> 01:01:36.158
spanning schools. So, second graders they wrote fractured fairy tails. And now our high school digital art students,

147
01:01:36.158 --> 01:01:44.967
they are actually drawing and creating books to these fracture very well. So, yes, that's wrapping up. So we'll, you know, I talked in Spanish today, she should have that wrapped up

148
01:01:44.967 --> 01:01:53.642
by next week and they're gonna be delivering and So that's kind of a cool thing. Trips. We've had numerous trips. We've

149
01:01:53.642 --> 01:02:04.921
taken this year, HMS to the Phillies game. I know some of you were there. So HMS and Hmhs Orchestra the internal rehearsal photo of the work. Sure rehearsal HMS, band

150
01:02:04.921 --> 01:02:12.394

151
01:02:12.394 --> 01:02:22.171
students. The ground, the much ground for sculpture for photography and 3D world strides. I have up here because I have some exciting information

152
01:02:22.171 --> 01:02:31.947
world strides. It's like I said, we attended Dining Williamsburg and we were having a conversation with them, they host the Philadelphia competition. And we're like, Hey, like how do you choose

153
01:02:31.947 --> 01:02:38.387
your venues and stuff? And they said, Well, if you're interested, we can come to a tour. So they came, they did a tour and we're currently

154
01:02:38.387 --> 01:02:52.335
scheduled the host about 800 to a thousand students here. next 15 and 16. So the Friday night and Saturday in April so they come, they do the performance in the week. So they don't stay here. It just

155
01:02:52.335 --> 01:03:00.276
kind of coming, they're here for an hour. They do the performance in their app but you know, depending on how many students sign up for the photo

156
01:03:00.276 --> 01:03:10.553
work. Sure, I'm sorry to throw it off. Yeah. World Trade Festival. They come from all over the country. Florida. Louisiana, Texas. Yes, it's not

158
01:03:27.703 --> 01:03:36.779
Catalano, and I've been talking about the the process and what that's going to look like and everything. So that's exciting. News drama productions. We had

159
01:03:36.779 --> 01:03:50.960
some very successful drama productions. The middle school. you know, doing track and a high school. They clue and goes, we have Bulldogs on Broadway. So some very exciting things is the eaters Those out, this is

160
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:59.468
exciting. The high school percentage to spending taxis this year, which is kind of best of the best in South Jersey. Um so we were nominated

161
01:03:59.468 --> 01:04:09.011
for 15 different awards and we actually won best musical for South Africa. But yeah. So that was exciting. In addition to that, I have my cheat, sheet

162
01:04:09.011 --> 01:04:15.284
here, my best new school, We watched one best dance ensemble. Number Andrew Coleman, won best junior critic and Hannah Cohen. Want a scholarship to the New

164
01:04:29.731 --> 01:04:39.941
would honor that and not necessarily announce them here and break the news. So but I will say for the, for the middle school opening, that'll be their first time that you productions in there. They've

165
01:04:39.941 --> 01:04:47.049
chosen two very, very exciting productions. Put on in the middle school, the night out, the high school. They have announcer season for next year. They're doing 39 steps. That'll take place in middle school.

166
01:04:47.049 --> 01:04:56.625
It's across In an Albert Hitchcock masterpiece and the humor of Monster plaython I've never seen it. But I from what

167
01:04:56.625 --> 01:05:05.267
I hear it's a it's a fun energetic, show their high school show. I have to be very careful. I say this. I mean, I know you talk and I said, Make

168
01:05:05.267 --> 01:05:16.979
sure that you go go, big, right? This will be our first time opening up this theater. So we do have the rights great show and I can see right now is that a Little

169
01:05:16.979 --> 01:05:30.058
Mermaid, Special Mermaids to visit Haddonfield and mad in our, right? It's a very long. The longest contact. I've seen I think very long contract and it says we are not about to

170
01:05:30.058 --> 01:05:36.465
advertise until January 1st to show that we're doing because there's another local theater he's doing That so I will say

171
01:05:36.465 --> 01:05:44.773
is that a mermaid is coming to that? But we're very excited that professional development. That's something I really focused on personally. Making

172
01:05:44.773 --> 01:05:53.349
sure that our areas have professional development, you know, shared before through board updates and whatnot that um, you know, this is kind of been something I think we've

173
01:05:53.349 --> 01:06:03.258
been able to tap into we hosted 115, educators between November and February TV from 43 different districts. They come here, I kind of organize the PD and then they

174
01:06:03.258 --> 01:06:11.933
pay a fee to all set the cost. So, the PD, even though we offered all the speed, it was like net zero to our district. I was able to cover all the costs that way. Interesting

175
01:06:11.933 --> 01:06:20.343
fact. they travel from far and why the furthest school nor for using Catholic County Catholic and the further school staff is violent school district and

176
01:06:20.343 --> 01:06:35.857
everywhere So we have for pain music, art world language. So, Upcoming Events. This is a lot shorter than it was a month ago because we caught you know, we crossed off philosophers a dance

177
01:06:35.857 --> 01:06:43.933

187
01:08:26.335 --> 01:08:37.546
Who's going everybody? Come up. Here comes becomes harder harder to talk just because of what is coming for me. Next time in July and no clue, but sounds like you guys

188
01:08:37.546 --> 01:08:45.454
are extremely busy and main June, it's only June 4th and we're very busy as well. So the good news is the good news. Bad news. Bad news is, I'm not

189
01:08:45.454 --> 01:08:51.559
gonna be talking much next month in the month after because all of my design projects are going into construction and Richard, we talking more so that's a bad

190
01:08:51.559 --> 01:09:04.105
news. you need so much more so but the good news is we're moving really nicely and in the design projects that we currently do have so I'll get right into First and foremost, the big one

191
01:09:04.105 --> 01:09:12.881
on our plate right now is Hopkins Gym. We are progressing through Hopkins Gym. We are we've scheduled to design development page term. Meaning

192
01:09:12.881 --> 01:09:20.856
you call it, which is where we share our current design. I will be sharing that next week with the district's admin team, and then user team, we have a

193
01:09:20.856 --> 01:09:28.897
preservation Commission meeting scheduled to review the project with them as well so we can go smooth sailing into construction documents. We have meetings

194
01:09:28.897 --> 01:09:37.739
scheduled with the IT department to make sure we're tackling all door access control, IT security, audio systems, and Hopkins Gym. So lots going on

195
01:09:37.739 --> 01:09:50.119
lots of progressing, and we're just making great. Um, no schedules have changed or so looking to fit on a TV July 16th. With a award in August

196
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:55.924
and our goals still get that shovel on the ground and fall. So we have footings and foundations before snow comes, hopefully we don't want the

197
01:09:55.924 --> 01:10:05.667
winter. We had the last year. Parallel with that, is the Tatum redesign. very moving to see some of the artwork that was

198
01:10:05.667 --> 01:10:17.679
done over the mosaics over near the gardens. We're designing a, You know, the redesign for that edition is taking it on into account, we are not touching those gardens. Thankfully our additional we going pretty close to in fact

199
01:10:17.679 --> 01:10:26.722
we're actually designing a plaza area next to. What's the garden is now to kind of celebrate that area. We'll have to relocate some of those planner beds to

200
01:10:26.722 --> 01:10:35.497
that location and we're gonna make kind of a nice circular class area there. So it's actually the design that we have is actually going to accommodate that and also

201
01:10:35.497 --> 01:10:44.873
celebrate. So we're actually proud of that. Our designs are progressing really well with that as well. Same thing we're going to bid that with Hopkins

202
01:10:44.873 --> 01:10:53.381
for, as I mentioned last time for an economy of scale with contractors and both their own target for the same outfit schedules as well. July break

203
01:10:53.381 --> 01:11:03.892
ground in August bookings, and foundation in the fall. Um, the last design project is that cupola replacement project that we're still working on same thing, we're going to have

204
01:11:03.892 --> 01:11:14.169
it hadn't feel preservation commission meeting that's going to be scheduled for July 8th to discuss the Koopa and hopefully get that should be getting it approved by that. It's a long

205
01:11:14.169 --> 01:11:22.644
lead time item. So that's gonna be a next spring, installation. What we're gonna get out to bid in July for that project, as well? And those are my projects

206
01:11:22.644 --> 01:11:31.620
for design. So before I move on, does anybody any about the current design projects? All right. projects currently under

207
01:11:31.620 --> 01:11:39.627
collars review as we mentioned, you know, when we are done the design development phase, which is that phase before we get into the nitty-grade, finite

208
01:11:39.627 --> 01:11:49.671
details, we send our sets to colors engineering that the third party estimates Actually tomorrow will be sending it Tatum redesign and Hopkins gym. So we'll be getting Collier's team, pretty busy in

209
01:11:49.671 --> 01:12:02.351
the cost estimation estimation sets you. We have no current projects out. The bid that is going to change in July, mid July will have three projects out the bids, I just mentioned and then projects

210
01:12:02.351 --> 01:12:10.892
and construction which is going to talk about the more fun and fascinating ones, I'll talk about. Well they're just a spot on my books but the ones that I'm actually overseeing first

211
01:12:10.892 --> 01:12:19.434
and foremost Hopkins Field and look at anyone's driven by Hopkins Lane this week, a lot of activity going on and scratched the earth. We're there we're moving dirt around some really

212
01:12:19.434 --> 01:12:30.712
good news. We're actually kind of InDesign back again. That project in a good way we've been working with the contractor. Underway to regrade the site in a way that we can take a lot of

213
01:12:30.712 --> 01:12:38.586
that. Excuse me, dirt and soil. Move it to where the Hopkins Gym is going to be because Hopkins gym because of where the terrain is in topography out there.

214
01:12:38.586 --> 01:12:47.829
Hopkins gym needs to be lifted. So, now, we don't have to have a contractor in September October. Bring in a lot of access there. It's very expensive to haul dirt

215
01:12:47.829 --> 01:12:54.703
away. It's very sense to bring their new dirt. In we're recycling barretts, We found a way, we're actually kind of back and design on that project

216
01:12:54.703 --> 01:13:06.582
for a good way. So we should see a little bit of cost savings when we go back out for Hopkins. That schedule is still

217
01:13:09.718 --> 01:13:21.929
substantially complete August 3rd. Just in time for Mr. Savannah, so you let athletic director to get his all Then we have asphalt shingle replacement projects at Haddon School and Central. The first

218
01:13:21.929 --> 01:13:28.303
week of summers going to be a very fun and exciting one. We're gonna get in there right away and contractors can be kind of ripping groups off there. So this would be a lot of

219
01:13:28.303 --> 01:13:38.747
demolition of those projects. In the last one. But I'll talk about is the A wing and Seawing window replacements here at high

220
01:13:38.747 --> 01:13:47.189
school. That's progressing. Well, not no real update there. Windows are still in production, that's a long lead time item but we'll be getting in summer and we installing the

221
01:13:47.189 --> 01:13:57.866
summer and fall at the window project. So, before I turn the rest of the construction projects over to colliers, any questions did you say something that next?

222
01:13:59.935 --> 01:14:05.340
It's the same. Sorry not yeah. Depression. So they'll start this product towards detail end of the summer and they're gonna go right in the fall of those

223
01:14:05.340 --> 01:14:16.217
second shift. The second shift in the during school year, that's correct. Yeah, so mean, this is state movie in classroom for a day or two Whether or not

224
01:14:16.217 --> 01:14:20.155
collection, they can usually hit a classroom. You might basically you can probably two classrooms a night. Is what they're gonna

225
01:14:20.155 --> 01:14:44.346
do. Yeah. Okay, thank you so much. Good evening. okay? Talk about the ones that Jeff didn't talk about, so you'll be five, but I'll discuss one of them is wrapping up which should be the Haddonfield

226
01:14:44.346 --> 01:14:53.822
Middle School to auditorium, the practice room. Renovations. So we did get substantial completion. And now we're working on punch

227
01:14:53.822 --> 01:15:03.331
list, close out and all the documents necessary. If physically, you know, close project out paperwise The

228
01:15:03.331 --> 01:15:15.910
majority of the rest of them are sort of, in the newer portion of starting off the 1890s building at Central Elementary School, the interior alterations. We are about 40% complete. That

229
01:15:15.910 --> 01:15:27.388
one. We had a couple. items to get through structurally. So we got through those, we got through some of the abatement and now we're in the middle of framing doing the rough-in

230
01:15:27.388 --> 01:15:35.730
plumbing electrical. doing some mechanical work. In the ceilings to follow. That we will be doing drywall. And that project is

231
01:15:35.730 --> 01:15:47.676
scheduled to be done. The Third week of August and it's on schedule to do that. The third project hadn't healed, Memorial High School, the Auditoring, Renovations, we

232
01:15:47.676 --> 01:15:58.754
finished one an hour. Jump into another one. That project is around. 15% complete, it's just underway. We received the permits which is

233
01:15:58.754 --> 01:16:06.861
always important to get going submittals are ongoing. We're ahead of the curve getting all of those approved by Jeff's team. The seating has been

234
01:16:06.861 --> 01:16:18.239
measured by that contractor. And as well as at the AV contractor has been outgoing surveying and field measuring and what schools out we can

235
01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:31.953
really hit that project really hard. See the fourth project. Which is Dandria which is he's got two of the projects, which is Central Elementary school.

236
01:16:31.953 --> 01:16:39.595
This is a nurse this week in classroom alterations. He is working on permits and submittals. The Lansing has a lot of submittals that they're

237
01:16:39.595 --> 01:16:51.339
working on and they're doing it good job. Keeping up all Ceiling problem, and you have a lot of projects kind of running parallel. The abatement work is coming up

238
01:16:51.339 --> 01:17:04.252
when school's out. And that'll be completed has to be done when nobody's around. And once that's completed, then we can get into a lot of the demo. And that project is also

239
01:17:04.252 --> 01:17:15.496
supposed to be completed the end of August again everything that we've done today is right where we need. Where we need to be. Yes. And lastly, Elizabeth Haden

240
01:17:15.496 --> 01:17:24.138
Elementary School. This is sort of one of the larger projects the first one The second floor story edition, we're working on permits right

241
01:17:24.138 --> 01:17:34.616
now. We have the zoning meeting coming up, middle of June, We need that to be completed. The submittals and these are much

242
01:17:34.616 --> 01:17:44.192
more important because of the schedule in implications and Jeff and his team. The steal the concrete mixes. Are over 50%

243
01:17:44.192 --> 01:17:49.831
done as well as the majority of the other ones, mechanical electrical orders. Probably a hundred different submittals on

244
01:17:49.831 --> 01:17:57.405
that project. So, They're way ahead of the curve. for that, you know, again a lot of this work. Can't start until school

245
01:17:57.405 --> 01:18:11.686
now. A lot of. The parts that we have been working on is the logistics a lot of moving parts to try to make sure that everything's sequence properly. And over in is on-cycle. A lot

246
01:18:11.686 --> 01:18:28.503
of field measuring or anticipation is starting. And that is the update for the last school. The big school. Any questions? right? What's a subtle? And you secure that. So when we got the bid there's a set of

247
01:18:28.503 --> 01:18:37.646
specifications, it's usually like a book like this and there's a set of planes again depending on the size of the project. Yeah. And that information

248
01:18:38.780 --> 01:18:45.219
gives contractors the general understanding of what what whatever we could be these, the ceiling tile could be the lights. The flooring. Okay. So

249
01:18:45.219 --> 01:18:54.128
what happens from there is a contract will have to submit. It's middle to make sure that they get the design intent. Correct. So that that tile that

250
01:18:54.128 --> 01:19:03.571
they think that they understand, it's much more defined more detail, document. So then Lynn will review it. No, say submit. It's a land and

251
01:19:03.571 --> 01:19:11.079
later. The land You got that, you got the basis of design correctly, either approve, it, it could be approved as noted

252
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:18.486
with some changes or could be rejected. What so and some of the good contractors, they get it right the first time sometimes you can have where

253
01:19:18.486 --> 01:19:27.896
30% of things we're back and forth. Because it's just all takes time. I guess some of these things are long enough.

254
01:19:27.896 --> 01:19:36.704
Or the question. How are we doing? Them was there. They're really, they're I said Lance team. He's dedicated. Thank you. Yes, so most of the subtles are

255
01:19:36.704 --> 01:19:45.180
paramount to be happen. First of the structural steel, smells like we're doing a lot of structural steel work and someone that has that happen

256
01:19:45.180 --> 01:19:54.556
before the school of for students need to come back in September. You are receive those structural smells concrete mixed metals. And we've already reviewed them and approve them, kind of straight line the

257
01:19:54.556 --> 01:20:03.130
process with the contractor, and there's some contractors. Nice processes working. Wherever out of the woods on

258
01:20:03.130 --> 01:20:13.809
that one. So cool. Yes, waiting for project. Out of the gate incorrectly is that not had the seminal setup, right? It's important.

259
01:20:16.144 --> 01:20:27.655
But the it had nurses office, the roof above that is a tricky thing. Have we saw in your issues about whether we had to take it off or not a solution for this. So I'll I'm gonna defer to Jeff

260
01:20:27.655 --> 01:20:36.498
but their structural steel team is working on it. They believe they have a solution. So there's a roof can stay this year. We

261
01:20:36.498 --> 01:20:46.007
can do the roof, we can do a lot of the work without removing the roof, all the beans putting and all that. Yeah, basically, the cliff notes are we're gonna be

262
01:20:46.007 --> 01:20:53.047
able to do 50% of the work this summer, summer long, and 50% next summer without impacting the nurse. And Sure, that the nurses operational bicep in the

263
01:20:53.047 --> 01:21:03.491
first now, that is the latest and greatest right now, you've had a lot of discussions with our structural team and that's kind of where we currently are.

264
01:21:04.659 --> 01:21:10.832
for everyone. So the nurse we have to have a nurse's office and there's and, and it is important that that roof has to come off, be resealed weather proofs in the summer and not

265
01:21:10.832 --> 01:21:20.208
always a nurse's office there. But in that, and that office is also the it closet controls. All the phone listings, all the

266
01:21:20.208 --> 01:21:26.914
doors and everything. So, the Japanese team had to make sure it stayed whether tight and protected. while they're taking parts of the roof off a bucket

267
01:21:26.914 --> 01:21:33.421
and there was going to be very, very tricky. How to do it? And so, I know I was in a lot of meetings where they talked a lot

268
01:21:33.421 --> 01:21:47.402
and I I, The fact that you guys, your structural team, came up with that. it's a little plus, so you feel. Yeah, if that if I didn't

269
01:21:47.402 --> 01:21:52.406
happen, I would be really difficult to get the amount of work done in iron 10 weeks. The way it was originally set up,

270
01:21:52.406 --> 01:22:14.229
so If we have it figured out. Thank you good. Thank you. All right, Dr. Priolo you are up. All right, thank you guys. So, I have to adjust my typical presentation style. I, I brought

271
01:22:14.229 --> 01:22:24.572
a remote and I brought it back up to the remote, the original broke, and a backup is not connected. So I'm gonna have to adapt a little bit. But I'm

272
01:22:24.572 --> 01:22:45.226
here this evening to talk about, Before I even go into reading the slide, let me give you kind of like the big picture overview is that our goal with this report tonight is

273
01:22:45.226 --> 01:22:52.633
to have a as close as possible quantitative and qualitative description of the amount of time. The types of programs

274
01:22:52.633 --> 01:23:07.082
edtech programs that are Is using are using it to k to five level. Then based on that information, we are going to work with parents and staff

275
01:23:08.216 --> 01:23:15.790
members to develop teacher guidance, and key to five to implement in the fall. So, I say that because the wording on the agenda was a little misleading. We're it talks

276
01:23:15.790 --> 01:23:26.001
about recommendations recommendations aren't coming out tonight. Tonight is kind of like the baseline. This is where we are.

277
01:23:28.236 --> 01:23:36.310
It's an opportunity for all of our teachers and staff to provide additional feedback, and then I'll talk more in depth about the summer work. We're going to be doing in preparation for completing

278
01:23:36.310 --> 01:23:45.286
everything by the start of the school year. So the purpose and scope is to really quantify digital classroom engagement across our K to five classrooms

279
01:23:45.286 --> 01:23:55.162
and compare distribution usage with national averages and support curriculum balance. We want to lay the groundwork for a standardized teacher guidance

280
01:23:55.162 --> 01:24:04.339
document. That is sure all digital tools or applied with explicit intentionality safety and instructional value.

281
01:24:05.607 --> 01:24:17.151
Um, we're thoughtfully examining this data, not to eliminate technology in our classroom but the construct, clear balance usage, boundaries that maximize learning while safeguarding

282
01:24:17.151 --> 01:24:24.025
student development and wellness. So yeah, it's it's kind of cool I've been in that public education now for 31 years, I've learned a thing or two long way and I still have a

283
01:24:24.025 --> 01:24:38.907
lot to It, but there has been a tendency in public education for very wide pendulum swings. Whether it's whole reading.

284
01:24:42.043 --> 01:24:51.786
whole word reading, or phonics math calculators, no calculators or different approaches. And one of the things I learned through this is most often.

285
01:24:52.987 --> 01:25:06.600
The result is striking the right balance between things. Now I don't know exactly where this is going to lead and I know there are constituents and maybe even staff members that believe

286
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:14.842
technology should just go away entirely. But we're taking a very careful thoughtful approach to this. And I'm hoping this will illuminate kind of where we

287
01:25:14.842 --> 01:25:24.552
are right now through this work. Um there are a couple different frameworks on this. The second framework being much more difficult to qualify in quantify

288
01:25:24.552 --> 01:25:31.325
them first, but the first framework is looking at all of our core curriculum programs. So, essentially, these are the programs that are Board

289
01:25:31.325 --> 01:25:41.569
Approved. Curriculum documents say that we should be using and the frequency with with which we should be using that. Therefore, the expectation is

290
01:25:41.569 --> 01:25:57.819
students care as teachers are adhering to those guidelines. That includes our literacy piece which is program called Lexia Core 5, I ready? My Path.

291
01:26:01.155 --> 01:26:13.067
Through programs called, Fluency Flights. TCI a digital curriculum. I Excel and which we use in ELA. So getting the output goal is to define not to see not to exceed

292
01:26:13.067 --> 01:26:18.606
guidelines, for core proof programs, and then the second piece is something we refer to as productivity tools. So these are the things like your Google

293
01:26:18.606 --> 01:26:35.489
docs. Those slides or using chrome to do research. Those are more. of those productivity items because, you know, it could be a

294
01:26:35.489 --> 01:26:47.301
fifth grade student, who was written an essay is now going to draft it on a computer or doing research for a particular project that that they're doing. It's really

295
01:26:47.301 --> 01:26:57.545
hard, it's much harder to capture that number because it's continuing upon a lot of different variables. The approach we took with for this

296
01:26:57.545 --> 01:27:03.985
study to quantify that was meeting with teacher leaders and get soliciting their food. We might consider going back and doing it a different way. There

297
01:27:03.985 --> 01:27:12.293
are other ways where you do a survey and teach yourself support. I don't think there's a perfect way to do it, but this is the way we did it and we

298
01:27:12.293 --> 01:27:27.408
believe we're in the ballpark, you know, by no means. Do I think we're to the minute on this? But I do believe it's it's a accurate So, the output goal with that

299
01:27:27.408 --> 01:27:36.550
area is to define guidelines for estimated auxiliary classroom usage for these four productivity tools. So this

300
01:27:36.550 --> 01:27:50.565
light gets a little bit of an explanation of those programs. I mentioned Ixl for Ela Lexia Core 5, I ready my path fluency flight and Fracts typing Agent and Social Studies. A lot this presentation will be posted

301
01:27:50.565 --> 01:28:00.775
on the district's website, you know, tomorrow or Monday. I'm not going to read through all of this, you know, that these descriptions are there.

302
01:28:04.379 --> 01:28:14.989
And when it comes to court, curriculum K5, classroom daily screen profiles. What I did here is I broke this information down from kindergarten through grade five, the programs that are you

303
01:28:14.989 --> 01:28:28.535
are in use according to our core curriculum and curriculum recommendations. The weekly core screen time Daily Core screen time and the percentage based on a full school day. And as you will

304
01:28:28.535 --> 01:28:43.551
see on this, we range from many minutes, a week in kindergarten to approximately 262 minutes in grade five that boils down to a range of 14, an average of 14 minutes per day in

305
01:28:43.551 --> 01:28:59.266
kindergarten to 52 minutes a day in. grade 5, which ranges anywhere from 3.5% of the day, the low in kindergarten to approximately 13% in grade. Five. Core

306
01:28:59.266 --> 01:29:10.712
program minutes are based on the curriculum recommendations as I shared productivity activities as I shared earlier for time spent on those other items based on teacher consultation.

307
01:29:11.879 --> 01:29:21.822
so I kind of set things up, set the stage, getting it to, some of the data and gonna pause for any questions now. More of a comment. Yeah. Is that

308
01:29:21.822 --> 01:29:28.996
I? I've been doing a lot of the I have been doing a lot of reading on the impact of Handwriting versus typing or

309
01:29:28.996 --> 01:29:40.274
even writing with a stylus. And we know that that handwrite, that's the pure writing by hand on paper. stimulates more moral

310
01:29:40.274 --> 01:29:52.253
connections, deeper learning and one of the ways I thinking in terms of as like, myself as a teacher, Of. because I agree

311
01:29:52.253 --> 01:30:01.662
with you it's way too difficult to say like, Oh well your you're researching we don't know how much time really you're spending. But if we thought in

312
01:30:01.662 --> 01:30:09.236
terms of projects or activities, example might be maybe for every one essay or paper that fifth graders are writing or typing.

313
01:30:09.236 --> 01:30:19.213
To her handwrit. For every research paper on that, they're going to be using the Internet for research. Maybe they do the

314
01:30:19.213 --> 01:30:26.754
old fashioned go to the library and actually look through books, even if they're not going, like, we could argue right that well when they're in

315
01:30:26.754 --> 01:30:34.661
college, they're going to be doing that but they're not in college. And the simple act of reading those books in paper gives them a very different

316
01:30:34.661 --> 01:30:51.879
experience than than online. So I guess my thought is that yeah, we probably can't quantify that productivity time, but if we allocated it by projects,

317
01:30:51.879 --> 01:31:02.122
Which are more usually uniform across grade levels. That might be a way to at least protect against over usage, on technology and develop those skills and neural. Connections, that we now come

318
01:31:02.122 --> 01:31:14.402
from print and things. So Jimmy, thanks for that feedback and that's exactly why the process that we're embarking upon is with. Here's Baseline information,

319
01:31:14.402 --> 01:31:22.376
It's not here's the information here, our recommendations because we do want to engage. We want to engage our board. We

320
01:31:22.376 --> 01:31:36.456
want to engage our community. We want to engage our teachers. because this is obviously a very hot topic right now across the country. and research on it is evolving.

321
01:31:36.456 --> 01:31:46.366
And you know it's also important that we parse through what might be editorials, what might be peer review, research or meta, reviewed research. because

322
01:31:46.366 --> 01:31:54.108
there are a lot of different opinions about this. And I think what's important is that not only do we make our final recommendations based on evidence-based, guidance, but

323
01:31:54.108 --> 01:32:06.853
also based on the values of this community, Which is a very important part in our outline that process at the end. It is really hard to talk about

324
01:32:06.853 --> 01:32:31.144
this topic. With. Without talking about. It's probably some of the more. alarming research that has come out about the effects of social media, and scrolling and screen

325
01:32:31.144 --> 01:32:40.788
time outside of the educational setting. so I I, you know, whether or not recommendations for parents come out of this

326
01:32:40.788 --> 01:32:52.933
that might be a need for the community that remains to be seen, but at the most important to at least touch on so, when you talk about guided

327
01:32:52.933 --> 01:33:02.943
classroom at Tech, this is this is The intent. Right. Intentional design. That's it's structured. Curated interactive

328
01:33:02.943 --> 01:33:08.048
platforms, managed and directed by professional educators to teach specific or math concepts or whatever, any other content

329
01:33:08.048 --> 01:33:17.924
area. It's the void a social networking folks, purely on skill mastery. Providing instant feedback and physical instructional alerts, but

330
01:33:17.924 --> 01:33:28.435
there's also a caution to it, right? This comes back to some of the latest research that's evolving. Digital devices, offer opportunities for cognitive

331
01:33:28.435 --> 01:33:39.647
engagement through interactive educational programs. but concerns are emerging over the potential to impair cognitive functions such as attention memory and socio,

332
01:33:39.647 --> 01:33:49.456
social emotional development, especially when uses it usage is excessive or unregulated. So, in other words, what the research is telling us the impact of the physiology of

333
01:33:49.456 --> 01:34:01.201
this Is quite different for a student, opening up a Chromebook and told to just go ahead and do some research for the next hour and a half for class

334
01:34:01.201 --> 01:34:14.448
period, Compared to something that's more direct. Systemic and targeted, and guided by by the teacher. and when it comes to the unregulated out of school,

335
01:34:14.448 --> 01:34:24.524
social media, built with engagement based profit driven loops. You can scrolls notifications likes design, the capture attention and reward, hyper frequent

336
01:34:24.524 --> 01:34:34.401
checking and behaviors. And some of the other critique of the some of the ed tech is that some of the ED tech has those

337
01:34:34.401 --> 01:34:45.680
features engagement features to it. which can have a negative impact on cognitive development and intentions. So we have to be very conscious of that.

338
01:34:46.680 --> 01:34:53.354
um, unregulated social media, use directly correlated with sleep displacement, cyber bullying body dissatisfaction. So it's like social isolation

339
01:34:53.354 --> 01:35:04.798
and clinical depression in adolescent development stages, now, I I, you know, That part is easy to talk about. How to

340
01:35:04.798 --> 01:35:13.507
address that at home. So not only I stand here before you as the assistant Superintendo as you will know, Father of Four. and we've been through the

341
01:35:13.507 --> 01:35:23.884
trials and tribulations with social media, you know how you manage that as a parent. I like to think my wife and I do a little bit better with our 11

342
01:35:23.884 --> 01:35:34.895
year old that we did with our 22 year old, you know, a little more a little more tools available to us. but it's still a real challenge. I had a great conversation, a

343
01:35:34.895 --> 01:35:45.038
parent. It was just an email conversation. Actually when this parent saw that this was being presented to see anything sent me a very, very thoughtful email. It

344
01:35:45.038 --> 01:35:55.181
was very honest about the struggle. You know, he has as a parent regulating. And so, I think there's some very honest challenges with that

345
01:35:55.181 --> 01:36:03.891
and note, no, very easy solutions. Now it's yeah, I'm I have trouble Dr. Priolo, when you said regulating use, did you mean like the adult

346
01:36:03.891 --> 01:36:13.100
regulating their own use where he is a parent Regulating news for kids? Because sharing with genies, I think I have we all

347
01:36:13.100 --> 01:36:18.873
have to be very. I've noticed, I have to be intentional in how I'm engaging with different resources, and whether I'm writing on a tablet or paper

348
01:36:18.873 --> 01:36:30.384
versus typing, like making those choices intentionally. So it's not just our kids, I think. Oh sure a quick story about a reason I mean really within the

349
01:36:30.384 --> 01:36:43.797
past couple weeks challenge I experience So I'm not advertising Xfinity, but we're and they provide some some monitoring tools for your

350
01:36:43.797 --> 01:36:49.904
children. So we had a family meeting. We agreed upon some limits on Friday, what the weekends might look like. We set the time in the system, but

351
01:36:49.904 --> 01:37:04.651
again, it's imperfect. so, when we can set it for, let's say, 60 minutes on a Tuesday, when I come home from work, like in my daughter comes home from

352
01:37:04.651 --> 01:37:14.294
school. It says that she's already used 45 minutes now. I know she hasn't used 45 minutes just been home, but the way

353
01:37:14.294 --> 01:37:26.039
some of these programs work, if your phone isn't turned off and you're receiving any kind of messages or or bad news or notifications, it starts logging that time. So,

354
01:37:26.039 --> 01:37:34.347
it's imperf. But yeah, I just want it. I think it's really important that you separated them out you and I were recently, and in a situation where, you know, it they can

355
01:37:34.347 --> 01:37:47.727
easily be lumped into together screen time and and you know the you know it's bad. And you know, all the negativity that goes along with it but I'm glad that you're you're at least

356
01:37:47.727 --> 01:37:59.806
separating out. We have no control over what happens with screen time. Outside of this building. And we're really just focused. The only thing we truly

357
01:37:59.806 --> 01:38:09.283
can focus on is screen time within. Yeah. And they are two different things but as I said, they share similarity. Yeah.

358
01:38:10.351 --> 01:38:16.323
and, you know, I can make you an argument that as a public school system, if we believe this is a need for our community that we

359
01:38:16.323 --> 01:38:26.633
can provide help and support for parents education. Bring the speakers in. So that's I think something we should consider because I know if parents like

360
01:38:26.633 --> 01:38:37.944
me are having tough with that and I don't need to imply. I'm a great parent. I I do my best but other parents, I think that confide in me talk about the

361
01:38:37.944 --> 01:38:43.917
challenge. So I I don't think it's a unique challenge, but when you do look at and tech first home, recreational

362
01:38:43.917 --> 01:38:58.699
screens, And this comes from the, American Academy of Pediatrics reveals that children ages five to eight spend on average three

363
01:38:58.699 --> 01:39:13.981
hours and 38 minutes. of screen time per day at home per day. That's Living television as well. For tweens 8 to 12 that record

364
01:39:13.981 --> 01:39:20.120
recreational figure rises to five hours and 33 minutes. Daily dominated, primarily by passive TV video streaming and recreational games. And we talk

365
01:39:20.120 --> 01:39:35.301
about what. Okay. Watch TV is a kid but you got one episode of Full House every Tuesday or Thursday, whatever it was and if you went to the bathroom you missed it like you just sit here in

366
01:39:35.301 --> 01:39:45.879
Mainline full house for a week. That's not that's different. It is a qualitatively different. Experience. And so you just see

367
01:39:45.879 --> 01:39:56.323
that? I think some pretty. It's just a jarring contract. Yeah. When you look at the outside of school minutes and the average insight S. No then it we would

368
01:39:56.323 --> 01:40:05.898
be remiss if we talk about these programs that we're using in cancer. The question. Well, are they affect? And this is a way after I do

369
01:40:05.898 --> 01:40:23.450
address it, try to address it from the data that we have. I brought in Njsla data and I also brought in some national trend data that talked about

370
01:40:23.450 --> 01:40:31.124
having fields achievement. because I think I don't want to rely on one source, try to that there are multiple measures

371
01:40:31.124 --> 01:40:47.774
that Our students are doing pretty well here in that field as far as achievement wants. So I'll talk about that for Lexia. Now Lexia again is a

372
01:40:47.774 --> 01:41:01.789
phonics based instructional online program. Some of the results that are current, kindergartens students that are at or above level.

373
01:41:09.329 --> 01:41:23.277
is 98.3%. That's up from a baseline of 50.3, first grade lexia at, or above 85.3 up from 54.5. second grade 76.2 up from 60.9 and our ixl, Ela benchmark track is showing that 87.4 students

374
01:41:23.277 --> 01:41:33.620
are on track to meet their goals by the end of the school year. For our, I ready? Beginning of

375
01:41:33.620 --> 01:41:53.840
the year, we're 38% proficiency. And we are currently at. at the beginning of the year, as a boi stands for a low grade

376
01:41:53.840 --> 01:42:09.889
level performance was at 58% that has been reduced to 10%. Now, this data has been presented before to the board and the public. So I I won't

377
01:42:09.889 --> 01:42:21.968
perseverate on it, but this is our five year, NJ SLA data and a very proud to share reiterate. Because we share this earlier in the year that in ELA math and

378
01:42:21.968 --> 01:42:33.213
science. We are outperforming our peer cohorts, in our district factor group and socioeconomics and then finally, the last piece

379
01:42:33.213 --> 01:42:42.288
and I referenced this in my public letter that I sent out about two weeks ago, kind of advertising the work that we're doing. There's been a lot of

380
01:42:42.288 --> 01:42:52.532
talk about the covid slump and students that have not made up that progress. We're very fortunate. That that's not something we've experienced

381
01:42:52.532 --> 01:43:05.978
here in Haddonfield. Our students gained 1.2 great, 1.2 grade levels in reading over the past 10 years, 0.4 grade level increase in

382
01:43:05.978 --> 01:43:11.685
math, current standing had fill students are performing 3.6 grades ahead of the two 2015 US average. and I provided all the references for where we're

383
01:43:11.685 --> 01:43:22.596
getting this data from. There, you can take a look at that. So again, kind of reaffirming what we're trying to do our primary goals to ensure that edtech

384
01:43:22.596 --> 01:43:31.437
serves as a purpose will supplement to rather than a replacement for high quality human instruction. we remain dedicated to this work. Not

385
01:43:31.437 --> 01:43:46.086
because for falling behind, but because we are committed to moving even further ahead, So here's what he anticipate, what will be included in the final guidance. That's authored. And certainly

386
01:43:46.086 --> 01:43:54.427
this is subject to change not to exceed screen time minutes per grade level. Answering the question are chromebooks to remain at school verse taking

387
01:43:54.427 --> 01:44:03.169
home taking home. Now, currently, I believe is very three, four and five eight to take them home. And is that a

388
01:44:03.169 --> 01:44:13.213
practice we need to continue? Or would it be more? A better on the students. If we kept them in school, Expectations for

389
01:44:13.213 --> 01:44:24.524
screens and free time. So snack, recess rewards. That's actually something we already moved on. I provided a directive to all of our K5 elementary schools that

390
01:44:24.524 --> 01:44:32.932
during snack time during indoor recess screens are not to be used. We want kids socializing,

391
01:44:32.932 --> 01:44:44.478
you know, that kind of downtime should be devoid of screens in particular, especially um,

392
01:44:47.781 --> 01:44:57.524
first, digital text, for reading, guidance, on that guidance. On handwriting verse typing. Jamie, you talked about that supplemental, qualitative guidance on edtech, use in special area classes and doing all of this with

393
01:44:57.524 --> 01:45:06.900
research-based rationale, for the guidance. So here's a limit to current limitations tech reports. We currently do not have the capacity to generate

394
01:45:06.900 --> 01:45:20.313
reports to break down edtech, use confined to the day. that might be a side benefit if we decide to stop sending home chromebooks with students, then

395
01:45:20.313 --> 01:45:28.855
the reports that we can run will be relegated to the school day. So it will be, give us some Some more accurate data, if that's the path. That's chosen.

396
01:45:28.855 --> 01:45:35.895
Yes, question about that. If we were to have them leave the devices at home or at school But they will tell log in to their school account on the home

397
01:45:35.895 --> 01:45:48.241
computer with that, then that's what the no reporting. It would be limited to the right. I don't think so. Yeah.

398
01:45:49.443 --> 01:46:05.825
I also think that that would then, be put encourage teachers would need to come up with print. They did homework homework. I think is a great idea, like

399
01:46:05.825 --> 01:46:12.799
like so but we need to on our end allocate more money to printing. So that we just need to know that that that's going

400
01:46:12.799 --> 01:46:26.245
to be part of this equation. but I, I do think that, that could have two benefits one, you can really track what actual screen time usage is during class but

401
01:46:26.245 --> 01:46:42.929
also we encourage more handwriting paper reading when you're home. um, so, and as I mentioned earlier, we are considering making a modification to some of

402
01:46:42.929 --> 01:46:52.572
this regarding those productivity tools and of doing a teacher survey to get more clarity. And as I said there, there there's really not

403
01:46:52.572 --> 01:47:04.818
a full proof way to do it. So scientific guard rails again. So overload, dose response. Decline global peas, assessment, show

404
01:47:04.818 --> 01:47:13.426
that academic performance drops. When screen time exceeds moderate structured levels, I think there's a focus on moderate and structure. This highlights, the critical need

405
01:47:13.426 --> 01:47:24.671
for strict classroom daily limits. The tasks switching costs on regulated screen, exposure can consume up to 38 minutes of every classroom hour in offcast

406
01:47:24.671 --> 01:47:33.479
distraction. That's where I talked about the idea. If it's you know you're working with a group of third graders and you just tell them to go research

407
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:44.590
something You're not going to get a good return on that. No, no classrooms all the time in the back and it reinforced the

408
01:47:44.590 --> 01:47:54.100
reinforces fragmented attentional habits, instead of deep text processing, and then every screen exposure must never displace physical.

409
01:47:54.100 --> 01:48:01.708
Three-dimensional tactile play print reading or parent child social interactions which form the baseline of neuroplasticity. Vision. Health. I just want to

410
01:48:01.708 --> 01:48:10.850
emphasize again like the print reading thing. I know I've said it many times before but I think there really is something different about being able to

411
01:48:10.850 --> 01:48:19.159
read something printed and interact with the text in that way versus even like what I've struggled with. Okay, here's the textbook. It's not like it's

412
01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:31.471
click on this link to open this part of the chapter. They need to click on this. Open this part of the chapter and it's very hard to switch back. switch back and forth and the

413
01:48:31.471 --> 01:48:38.844
the strain on your eyes is and on my students very yeah, and even with something like that, I I would argue that nothing is going to be absolute because we

414
01:48:38.844 --> 01:48:49.222
still have we still have a duty to make sure we're meeting the individual needs of students absolutely. And sometimes that that includes assistive

415
01:48:49.222 --> 01:48:58.331
technology, absolutely that will not be included in scope of this. Yeah. And we're working within confines of programs

416
01:48:58.331 --> 01:49:06.939
like a lot of books now, like the taxes and stuff, they don't have credit versions. So so here are the next steps. As I see them, a step one which

417
01:49:06.939 --> 01:49:20.419
is really where are. Establish the baseline profiles. Step two to be at the July Board meeting. So here's why I anticipate at the July Board of

418
01:49:20.419 --> 01:49:28.995
Education meeting to review the initial Teacher Guidance, document outlining not to itsy time structures so that meeting I pretty sure is at the end of

419
01:49:28.995 --> 01:49:34.100
July so that gives us a little little ample time. I think it's a reasonable amount of time to come back and present the

420
01:49:34.100 --> 01:49:50.449
guidance recommendations but it's still being an open process allowing for And then in late, and July, August conduct focus groups until they structure feedback

421
01:49:50.449 --> 01:50:03.930
sessions with parents and teacher focus groups. And then adopt our recommendations. Twenty six, twenty seven school year.

422
01:50:05.031 --> 01:50:13.939
Here are the resources that were cited in the slide deck or on the left additional resources that we either have already consulted or plan to consult, or on the

423
01:50:13.939 --> 01:50:27.153
right. And at this time, I'll welcome any questions. Yeah, I think we don't, we discussed a lot throughout anyone have anything

424
01:50:27.153 --> 01:50:38.297
to add. Yes, is really great, thank you very comprehensively. Appreciate your analytical approach. There's so much as you say This

425
01:50:38.297 --> 01:50:51.010
is a super hot topic. There's opinions that span any possible, you know, scenario, and thank you for going wide and deep and looking in so many looking at it

426
01:50:51.010 --> 01:51:08.528
from somebody different directions. Thank you. I'm just struck. I mean this which is fine I'm just pointing the whole thing like, it's valuable what you're

427
01:51:08.528 --> 01:51:16.936
doing, for sure, and important, but It it seems like we're arguing about, you know, trying to make school lunches healthier, when kids are going

428
01:51:16.936 --> 01:51:25.745
home and eating Doritos for the other meals, you know what I mean? Like, the problem of On, you know, that 333 minutes dwarfs, the problem of what

429
01:51:25.745 --> 01:51:36.322
we're doing in school to me like that. That seems like I don't know how to address it but it just So yeah, but as a

430
01:51:36.322 --> 01:51:46.132
parent is a young kid and we'll see, you know, our kids don't know school without Covid. They don't know school without a Chromebook. Yeah, just service

431
01:51:46.132 --> 01:51:53.873
to them. Yes. I mean, if we had this opportunity but all this research that she has been doing, if we could find that balance, I think that would be great. Now, also think it's gonna benefit our teachers. I

432
01:51:53.873 --> 01:52:03.883
mean, I'm really looking forward to the survey that we're going to see later because I just I really just want our teachers to teach, you know, they're not it

433
01:52:03.883 --> 01:52:10.923
professionals. I feel like when they have new programs and there's so many different like, You know all the let's call the training that goes into it. You know I want to make sure that

434
01:52:10.923 --> 01:52:32.412
we're like we have Effective use of our time. Yeah, I agree. It just seems So, thank you philosophical. I know I'm just control. Yeah. so, so we need to stay focused

435
01:52:32.412 --> 01:52:46.225
on what we can control and we can educate as you were talking about but you know, not just parents but kids also Yes I was reading a book by a college English, professor of called

436
01:52:46.225 --> 01:52:56.936
distracted about summarizing, some of the research on distractions in college level classroom, summarizing the research about the efficacy of handwriting versus not, and one

437
01:52:56.936 --> 01:53:02.542
of the things that he talks about in there is recognition and obviously college students are very different from K to five learners in a number of

438
01:53:02.542 --> 01:53:11.851
ways. But A lot of it sounded like what we do with classroom charter? in, these are what these are going to be our expectations. We're gonna review

439
01:53:11.851 --> 01:53:22.595
the pros and the cons of different behaviors and we're going to choose what works best for our classroom community. I think there's something to be said for maybe you don't do it

440
01:53:22.595 --> 01:53:31.337
in kindergarten, but in sports, fifth grade, hey, you're doing a research project. There is research that shows that you are going to learn more effectively

441
01:53:31.337 --> 01:53:41.214
if you can write that up next card, versus putting it into a Google document and letting those kids. I mean,

442
01:53:42.448 --> 01:53:52.125
we want to be subtly, nothing that I am too and reminding them. You know. I don't want to be all 90s. This is your brain on drugs like fried egg commercial, but I think showing that as you and

443
01:53:52.125 --> 01:54:01.033
modeling as parents, You know what we know about healthy behaviors outside of the classroom as well? Yeah, that's true. Charter reference. Okay. I

444
01:54:01.033 --> 01:54:10.844
mean, I wrote it in the margin of this reminds me of classroom charter. Responsive classroom look, it's Professor Lango.

445
01:54:11.978 --> 01:54:18.284
And the other piece I didn't, I didn't talk about but something we're very conscious of is how once we develop these

446
01:54:18.284 --> 01:54:30.829
guidelines. How do we hold ourselves account? You know. Whether it's part of principal observations, whether we have technology that that we use

447
01:54:30.829 --> 01:54:43.209
again, We can't run reports that that with our current system. We can't run reports I give us an eight o'clock to 8:33 clock

448
01:54:43.209 --> 01:55:00.893
snapshot and to do something like that. We're talking about a cost north of 23,000. Save our money for but I didn't especially stated but that's something that it were also

449
01:55:00.893 --> 01:55:11.838
very conscious of and we're also very conscious of where I talked about these averages that we likely have outliers out there on both ends of the

450
01:55:12.872 --> 01:55:19.211
spectrum. I can tell you confidently that as we have become more aware of this and as administratively as we've been digging into this more. So

451
01:55:19.211 --> 01:55:32.558
those outliers have been addressed. Okay, well, thank you. We looking forward to your update, okay? Um, just did you forget? Yeah, I can go through quickly

452
01:55:32.558 --> 01:55:48.040
for some of this was already talked about, but Curriculum Committee met on May 21st. And for next year, there's going to be both a world language audit and a social studies audit. And they are

453
01:55:48.040 --> 01:55:59.185
starting up gonna work through. Summer and then we'll both present their findings to the board in April 2027. But just a couple of things on both of the honors is looking for more

454
01:55:59.185 --> 01:56:20.406
vertical, alignment but also in engaging community organizations and community members to just help supplement the finding or the education on those levels. We also had a number of new novel

455
01:56:20.406 --> 01:56:25.244
recommendations for the high school and some of these were just either realigning certain books to different grade levels

456
01:56:25.244 --> 01:56:41.293
and have already been approved. But also looking at How do we potentially try to engage and spark more overall interest in reading? And on a

457
01:56:41.293 --> 01:56:48.134
number of different topics to engage, just different types of learners. So, I think there's some really wonderful options and books that I was like, Oh,

458
01:56:48.134 --> 01:57:03.182
I might want to take a look at as well. Some of the other things is that the elementary foundations we're going forward with, there's a new third edition, and

459
01:57:09.322 --> 01:57:19.965
Some of the also we've talked a little bit earlier tonight about some of the cross-curricular things. So the units of study is an updated curriculum for reading and grades 3 through 5

460
01:57:19.965 --> 01:57:29.341
that actually includes science knowledge building in the reading. So for instance, third grade studies plants rocks and fourth grade and the solar system in fifth grade. So really

461
01:57:29.341 --> 01:57:40.619
kind of looking to have those cross-curricular. Alignment there. And then also, we are going to be going with Clifter for the cursive

462
01:57:40.619 --> 01:57:53.632
handwriting. For fourth, and fifth grade. And then lastly was just about the screen time, which, you know, just click your programs free, no call yes,

463
01:57:53.632 --> 01:58:14.287
yeah, All right. Have when I was looking through that because I click through to the actual the their program flyer and I actually wondered from someone who went to school where they used to have the

464
01:58:14.287 --> 01:58:20.593
thing that you put on the boulevard. Yes. How many of our teachers Actually, because when I saw the way, like the way,

465
01:58:20.593 --> 01:58:30.035
they formed each letter, it's like, well, that's the way I was taught. I don't write like that anymore. I wonder how many of

466
01:58:30.035 --> 01:58:36.842
our teachers actually can form letters like that as well. Albert in curses Grade, Six. Oh, it's interesting. Is the new research coming out about I'm

467
01:58:36.842 --> 01:58:48.788
writing. Also Shed says, cursive writing is actually more stimulating for neural connections than friends because it's the continuous,

468
01:58:48.788 --> 01:58:57.262
it's almost like an artificial looking and artistic. Yeah. Part of your brain at the same time. So Bringing back person will

469
01:58:57.262 --> 01:59:18.851
probably piggy back justifies the way that I write in the hybrid of printers. I just like, I just want my Tommy to learn cursive. Don't have Christmas. Oh,

470
01:59:22.989 --> 01:59:33.632
looking through it you can print there's a spot on there. It's pretty user. Oh yeah you have the worksheets and start of operating Thank you, faster. Oh yes! Yeah. Brain. Is that it actually it lights up it uses, so different

471
01:59:33.632 --> 01:59:41.507
areas of your brain. And so when you're activating different neural areas, they're communicating with each others. So then you're building new

472
01:59:41.507 --> 01:59:56.221
neural halfways. And so think about like trailblazing, right? All right. Be able to access primary sources, which means that you

473
01:59:56.221 --> 02:00:04.930
need to be able to you. All right? That's you. Do we have anyone? Here can speak on finance and facilities I think when they looked at this schedule that there was a

474
02:00:04.930 --> 02:00:14.606
meeting held before the last tour meeting so it might have been up to you. Yeah I was in writing on here. but we are. Okay. So it

475
02:00:14.606 --> 02:00:30.389
was presented at the left. Yes, we met on this past, Tuesday. It was a short meeting. um, we do have a few policies for first reading. They're all

476
02:00:30.389 --> 02:00:38.430
mandated policies that just had updates with language. The first was policy, 2411 Career Education and Academic Counseling. This policy requires a district to offer our high

477
02:00:38.430 --> 02:00:48.007
school students with opportunity to be exposed to different career paths using work-based learning experiences such as trade school or school counselors are the ones who are providing this

478
02:00:48.007 --> 02:00:55.681
guidance for students who are interested in taking this path. And we're all looking into career, exploration programs which look into different careers in blocks throughout the

479
02:00:55.681 --> 02:01:04.523
year. So this policy is going to abolish regulation 24:11 on guidance counseling with just covers the scope of what guidance counselors do. So

480
02:01:04.523 --> 02:01:15.200
that's going to be absorbed into this policy. Policy 1643 is Earth's sickly the New Jersey family, Leave Act has two revised portions,

481
02:01:15.200 --> 02:01:26.779
which we looked over. Now, an employee can request leave after working for three months for an employer, Having worked 250 base hours in the 12-month period immediately

482
02:01:26.779 --> 02:01:35.287
before requesting the time off. This is different from before when the policy required working for 12 months for that employer and 1,000 hours before

483
02:01:35.287 --> 02:01:48.667
requesting this time off. Policy 2260 equity in school and classroom practices. This goes over the comprehensive equity plan, that's required to be submitted to the Department of

484
02:01:48.667 --> 02:01:53.505
Education once every three years Geno, just submitted that, and it was accepted. So, the next submission is going to be in two

485
02:01:53.505 --> 02:02:10.690
years. Um regulation. 2460 dot 30, Additional compensatory special education, and related services is a regulation that will be abolished because this was for the time of covid with stories, with IEPs needed extra

486
02:02:10.690 --> 02:02:22.067
educational, support or outside that window. So it's no longer relevant. The policy for second reading was Policy 2436 Activity Participation FEE program. We

487
02:02:22.067 --> 02:02:26.171
just looked over the amounts that were listed for the activity fees and had no discussion over that. And then we had a few policies for review

488
02:02:26.171 --> 02:02:42.020
that had no discussion but they were policy. 5600 Student, Discipline Code of Conduct? Policy of 5611 for Google a Students for Firearms, Offenses

489
02:02:42.020 --> 02:02:50.963
Policy 5612, assault onboard, education, members, and and employees. Policy 56 13. Removal of students for assaults with weapons and offenses.

490
02:02:50.963 --> 02:03:02.741
They'll start weapons offenses and policies 5615, suspected gang activity. Right? And those all of those will be on next month. All right, like you probably don't

491
02:03:02.741 --> 02:03:10.349
have much to add since we had land and Klausiers. Yeah, we're meeting Monday Tuesday. Remember meeting Monday. we're going to

492
02:03:10.349 --> 02:03:22.227
skip PTA updates today because as we did a really great job, thank you. After I do, just want to put in one plug for Lizzy PTA, that I promised I would Amanda

493
02:03:22.227 --> 02:03:30.169
Perlette is in her last year of cheering. The Lizzie Fall Festival. which everyone knows is a great community event. They are looking desperately for

494
02:03:30.169 --> 02:03:36.274
someone to shadow her next year and take over the following year. So, anyone in the audience or listening at home today or later if you are

495
02:03:36.274 --> 02:03:50.989
interested in helping out with the fall fair, your talents are desired by the Lizzie. Okay Dr. Priola you gave yours? Yes, Mr. Klaus. Oh, I used calendar work but probably push

496
02:03:50.989 --> 02:04:00.299
up with July. Yeah. That sounds good but one of the things I am also going to look at. I'm looking really the 2028 calendar, but I want to revise

497
02:04:00.299 --> 02:04:11.410
the snow makeup dates on the 26 27 calendar and did we talked about that making credit today the first day and then making the second snow day that PD Day February

498
02:04:11.410 --> 02:04:22.721
and that will push The PD to spring break, that way. The family. We when we push it, when we push notice spring break, you're 50% of 10. It's kind of

499
02:04:22.721 --> 02:04:33.299
not productive. We're trying to avoid pushing these families that time. So I'm gonna recommend different dates. In July.

500
02:04:41.440 --> 02:04:47.245
All right, my report I don't really have much except that we do have. The Agt is doing. I think that they're already sold

501
02:04:47.245 --> 02:04:59.691
out for the golf balling, but they are doing the barbecue. Oh, that's good. All right, I usually have two and June 15 on a Monday. Is that

502
02:04:59.691 --> 02:05:16.509
barbecue and thank you. And then we also have the petitions are due. We have our for our election, which will be in November. We have

503
02:05:20.613 --> 02:05:39.898
Anyone want to announce if they're attending to Rerun? I'm attending to everyone. Okay, so no. Can you okay? So Okay, public comments. Will now

504
02:05:39.898 --> 02:05:49.107
begin open public comment. Each person gets three minutes if you'd like to make an additional comment. Please make wait until the each person has had a chance to make their

505
02:05:49.107 --> 02:05:55.680
comment. All comments are directed towards the board. Not the public. this is a time for you to speak to the board, but

506
02:05:55.680 --> 02:06:08.026
do not expect an answer because it's more of your passing along information. It's public education, could be an emotional issue. We strive to maintain a level of decorum at

507
02:06:08.026 --> 02:06:26.077
our meetings. We welcome you to come up. Oh, please introduce yourself by saying your name and the name of your street. Hi, good evening. My name is

508
02:06:26.077 --> 02:06:39.692
Conor McArthur, I'm Field Residence. Central School District. I live on Lakeview Avenue in the pocket. I guess it's gonna call it. So I'm the co-founder of a company

509
02:06:39.692 --> 02:06:49.301
called DBT Labs. It's a philadelphia-based company. We've been at this for 10 years. I started it with two other people that I had worked with.

510
02:06:49.301 --> 02:07:00.011
Before we now I'm happy to say we employ a thousand people across the nation internationally that we've had great success as a company and I served as the chief technology officer of that

511
02:07:00.011 --> 02:07:13.092
company. I'm here because of my interest in the intentional use of technology in the classroom topic. I think that I benefited from a broad-based.

512
02:07:16.228 --> 02:07:23.668
Liberal Arts Type Education in which I did read on paper books and and learn cursive, and all these things that we're discussing here and then was able to translate that later on

513
02:07:23.668 --> 02:07:33.412
into a career on technology where I spend plenty of time looking at screens these days. I came out of a concern to make sure that my children have

514
02:07:33.412 --> 02:07:42.654
access to that same type of education. I'll say like I'm really encouraged by the direction and thank you for the

515
02:07:42.654 --> 02:07:51.696
presentation. This, this I do think that Technology. Certainly has a place in the classroom. I think it has utility, I think as you said

516
02:07:51.696 --> 02:08:02.541
the individualized learning is important to me and it's important to be that my children get access to that, but I do have the concern that as my

517
02:08:02.541 --> 02:08:13.218
daughter is, you know, drawing a picture that she has a screen right here that could be distracting her attention from the activity that's at hand. And so I think that in particular, that's an

518
02:08:13.218 --> 02:08:21.560
area where I would encourage you all to be to be thoughtful and to act is, is not this directed screen time, but this sort of

519
02:08:21.560 --> 02:08:29.134
like open-ended well I just have a laptop here. It's it's maybe distracting my brain from the thing that I supposed to be doing. So thank you for the presentation for all the work

520
02:08:29.134 --> 02:08:44.182
that you're doing. I'll certainly keep following along. I'm really encouraged by the direction and thanks for your time. Thank you. Good evening, Lauren zonies on

521
02:08:44.182 --> 02:08:59.864
Hawthorne Ave here. This evening representing partially schools beyond screens having fields we are grassroots chapter of what the LA United School districts began early this year. We have

522
02:08:59.864 --> 02:09:12.343
about a hundred folks that have put their name on a letter that was shared, does touch on a lot of what was included in the presentation. And we would love to be part of focus groups. And further

523
02:09:12.343 --> 02:09:25.857
conversation, the intention is to have intentional technology. We are primarily elementary school parents who have responded. Some of whom are medical professionals as well as lent

524
02:09:25.857 --> 02:09:36.835
both opinions or both views from both perspectives and what I think we're seeing is something that is.

525
02:09:37.936 --> 02:09:43.107
concerning, because the fact that we've mentioned in the presentation, regulating you scattered classroom Edtech, Managed by educators, is not what we're seeing in reality. My

526
02:09:43.107 --> 02:09:53.184
student is a second grader. He has never used a Chromebook outside of the classroom. He has been called into his first grade classroom to change the

527
02:09:53.184 --> 02:10:02.093
settings on the laptops Because he and his friends knew how to do that. That's because they are using them in Unmonitored Way they have access to YouTube.

528
02:10:02.093 --> 02:10:13.872
They are watching YouTube for hours, whether it's at indoor recess. dismissal sac time, brain break, it is constant, and if that piece is self-reported, I'm very

529
02:10:13.872 --> 02:10:24.416
concerned that you're not going to get the suit the correct picture because as an educator, I could, I'm not an educator. But I would assume that as an educator it would be very

530
02:10:24.416 --> 02:10:35.293
difficult to sell for court that, yes, we use that one times when the classes disruptive it's being used as a crutch. And then that into the inability to be bored at home, it turns into the

531
02:10:35.293 --> 02:10:44.135
acceptancy and the dependency upon the screen and dopamine hit at home. So while we have responses from many folks that say, We don't even have a

532
02:10:44.135 --> 02:10:52.477
television at home, I know that's a limited extreme but We're sending our children to you for eight hours a day. And

533
02:10:52.477 --> 02:11:03.555
if three hours of that is screen time, that is something that we cannot overcome. I think we are all collectively concerned and I think we really want to partner

534
02:11:03.555 --> 02:11:11.562
to get to the truth of what we're seeing. Because the taking the screen's home parents are fighting with their children at home over kids sneaking things

535
02:11:11.562 --> 02:11:23.541
because the thing, the apps are so gamified that they want to play prodigy and be their friends and talk to the kids that have changed their names to funny things that are

536
02:11:23.541 --> 02:11:31.616
borderline and appropriate. You see students playing prodigy specifically before class, they do not want to be doing chrome. Work Chromebook homework before

537
02:11:31.616 --> 02:11:43.128
class. They're playing a game. It's a game that they are taught to use and that has reward benefit in it. That is addictive. And I think these pieces that we can hear from the students

538
02:11:43.128 --> 02:11:51.670
elementary and middle school, especially I don't have the perspective on the high school side, but I think those Says,

539
02:11:51.670 --> 02:12:07.018
or things are times or just. Thank you, thank you. Hi, my name is Ty Lee. We live on Cozumel Road, our kids go to Tatum. We actually have three

540
02:12:07.018 --> 02:12:15.694
kids and my brother has four so total we have seven throughout middle school, elementary school, and high school. I just want to say, I agree with most almost everything that she has

541
02:12:15.694 --> 02:12:24.402
said, because I experienced it myself. With my wife. And that's why we're interested to be here just a quick background, is that, you know, I

542
02:12:24.402 --> 02:12:33.478
appreciate the excellence in education that the school district provided. That's why we're here. You know I appreciate the ability to teach our kids to do amazing things.

543
02:12:33.478 --> 02:12:43.454
You know, the last thing that I remember, you know, our kids in high school winning that cyberquest from Lockheed, you know, first and second place, I

544
02:12:43.454 --> 02:12:59.470
work at, Lockheed I work as a SIS admin system administrator so I manage Computers or the technology that we do, Linux and Windows. And I myself have a hard time fighting with my kids

545
02:12:59.470 --> 02:13:09.247
at home about screen time and that's enabling a lot of different technology within my home to block, you know, specific website specific, iPS

546
02:13:09.247 --> 02:13:19.257
math, address everything that time, you know, work time everything that's in there, and it's hard and I'm coming here. I'm relieve that to see that

547
02:13:19.257 --> 02:13:30.002
presentation, that Dr. Perilla I appreciate that engagement. And I really want to, you know, Be a part of that, because

548
02:13:31.136 --> 02:13:40.545
I feel like what we're doing is that we're kind of enabling the kids to do a lot of things with the Chromebook, but the presentation in terms of the amount of screen time, I don't

549
02:13:40.545 --> 02:13:51.789
believe that's overly true because I know my kids spent a lot more in school and did you know they can play games like Minecraft and do a lot of other things. You know, even myself, you know,

550
02:13:51.789 --> 02:14:00.632
I'm amazed in a way I'm like Wow. How'd you figure this out? But, you know, they're using prophecies, they're using a lot of things that we take for

551
02:14:00.632 --> 02:14:06.605
granted that we think they don't know, but they do and they're able to with visit websites that are not regulated and so I'm

552
02:14:06.605 --> 02:14:16.447
concerned about that and I feel like, you know, allow people drink, you know, say alcohol adults but not, you know, few people get addiction and I feel

553
02:14:16.447 --> 02:14:24.222
like, you know, they go to school and they're kind of serve these screen time and some of them specifically, one of my kids, I can see have an

554
02:14:24.222 --> 02:14:34.132
addiction and screen time. It's hard to fight that addiction every day at home, and it's a big battle that we you know, every day even today. Before I

555
02:14:34.132 --> 02:14:43.474
came here, I had to, you know, take the Chromebook away and he's yelling and screaming and things like that. And I just, I

556
02:14:43.474 --> 02:14:49.680
know that more parents have that same, you know, experience at home. I, I hope we can have more engagement. To figure out

557
02:14:49.680 --> 02:15:04.128
what, you know, how we use that tool. I appreciate the time. Thank you. Hello Carol. Stoner on Avondale

558
02:15:04.128 --> 02:15:13.104
Avenue. First, I would like to think they have the school district for an engine. Excellent. Education for all

559
02:15:13.104 --> 02:15:22.947
five of my children. My youngest of, which is graduating in a few weeks so they've all done. Extremely well going

560
02:15:22.947 --> 02:15:30.055
through these school district here, and I'm very thankful That is the reason why I came to Haddonfield reason why you paid all those taxes because justify

561
02:15:30.055 --> 02:15:45.637
it is private tuition. Um, but I'm extremely thankful. So thank you to the school district. I am however, very thankful that my kids didn't grow up on a Chromebook.

562
02:15:46.738 --> 02:15:56.981
It's my only regret as a senior mom. Is that my son Genie. Your son did not learn cursive writing here. Just summer. We're gonna do that. Glad that it's been brought

563
02:15:56.981 --> 02:16:11.129
back. So what I do want to do is right down that I did in my house and we're just here. Yeah, we're just at my house. Um, So I'm glad that it's been brought back. What wasn't shown here

564
02:16:11.129 --> 02:16:19.403
tonight was how many hours does six to 12th graders are on their chromebooks? I would bet it's all day long during the school day. And then again, at night

565
02:16:19.403 --> 02:16:30.214
time for all their homework, I'm not sure how many textbooks, my son is even brought home this year or even if you even known them anymore. I would just like

566
02:16:30.214 --> 02:16:40.592
to know for future parents. I'm not going to be in this boat anymore. If there is an option for parent to completely opt out of Chromebook use and go strictly

567
02:16:40.592 --> 02:16:48.399
with pen and paper. I'm not sure if you've had anybody talk to you about that or I do know other school districts are

568
02:16:48.399 --> 02:16:59.978
organizing something like that to completely opt out. but other school districts and parents are asking for no Chromebooks and the Christian I had is doer, really need them.

569
02:17:01.079 --> 02:17:19.330
So that's it, thank you and I appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. Hi, Annie Jacobs. I live on Cedar Avenue, I will not be as eloquent as everyone who has

570
02:17:19.330 --> 02:17:27.205
already spoken. I think I would just kind of reiterate what they were saying. I have two kids right now. One going into six next year the kindergarten

571
02:17:27.205 --> 02:17:38.048
first graders. So both kind of coming out of covid seeing where those deficiencies would would lie. And just to say, I, I agree with everything. I appreciate that. You are looking into it. I

572
02:17:38.048 --> 02:17:48.593
think it's really important that we constantly reevaluate. The needs of the children of what the parents are seeing while they're at home, it's not always. Reflective is some

573
02:17:48.593 --> 02:17:57.535
others mentioned. What the teachers or the administrators might be seeing. Um, I think one analogy that I've kind of been thinking about Is this topic

574
02:17:57.535 --> 02:18:10.515
came up, is that as an amateur gardener myself, where gardening is often sort of used as an analogy for education. They There's this kind of saying that the most expensive thing about being a

575
02:18:10.515 --> 02:18:19.390
gardener is being a beginner beginner and that's often the lesson that I have learned is I have moved many a plants around when they didn't do so. Well in the soil, they didn't like the

576
02:18:19.390 --> 02:18:24.796
sun. They didn't like the shade, it grew, it didn't grow. And I've constantly been redoing it and I think it's important that we look at technology in a

577
02:18:24.796 --> 02:18:33.872
similar vein that we, you know, maybe be the bested. I'm sure tons of time, tons of research, tons of money, even into all of this. And I would just like to

578
02:18:33.872 --> 02:18:43.715
say that as a parent as a taxpayer too, that it doesn't bother me. If we have to take a step back and say, you know what, we're gonna have now 200, chromebooks, sitting in a

579
02:18:43.715 --> 02:18:51.889
closet somewhere and personally, I don't, you know, I know people get really loud about that stuff but personally I see that it's okay because I see

580
02:18:51.889 --> 02:19:00.431
that still as growth that it was an opportunity that you know this technology this plant, it didn't work here, maybe we need to move it around. We need to modify it a little bit and

581
02:19:00.431 --> 02:19:07.805
adjust what we're doing here and I really appreciate that. You are taking that hard. Look at it, it will continue to look at it and engage with the community because I do agree like, you

582
02:19:07.805 --> 02:19:17.915
know, I understand Mike what you're saying about the Doritos. But if you're getting to read it was at school on chromebooks. They're not gonna want plain chicken at home. You know, when

583
02:19:17.915 --> 02:19:27.725
these parents are stopping it, they're gonna want the Doritos, my one advice, unsolicited advice to new parents is don't ever give them chicken nuggets.

584
02:19:27.725 --> 02:19:34.498
Want to eat anything for dinner, but chicken nuggets. That's it. It's all they're gonna want. So they come home and they're used to being on Lexia and prodigy and all these games, like they

585
02:19:34.498 --> 02:19:42.640
said, they're gamified and then they come home and I'm like, Oh you got to get off the screens and it is an addiction. It's a fight, it's the dopamine. It's

586
02:19:42.640 --> 02:19:51.382
it's plain, it's just chemicals, it's all it is. So again, they said it much better. I appreciate everything they said, I agree with it. The only other

587
02:19:51.382 --> 02:20:02.526
thing I had today as well, which is completely, totally different topic was the first photo on the burrow website, is a very, very sad looking photo of Tatum.

588
02:20:02.526 --> 02:20:11.202
So I emailed some to draw to Jess. I think they maybe got past along, I can read email them, it's very depressing looking. So if we could just

589
02:20:11.202 --> 02:20:18.242
update the photos on the website, you don't have to use mine. You're welcome. But we have beautiful. Landing is alone change like yeah, it would be

590
02:20:18.242 --> 02:20:30.121
very nice if we just had some like Not winter, Gray, very sad looking photos on the website. So That would huh? There's no yeah. Or the Mosa? Yes doesn't

591
02:20:30.121 --> 02:20:37.027
again doesn't have to be the one they stand but it was a beautiful day and I was like Wow this building is gorgeous and then you go on the website and

592
02:20:37.027 --> 02:20:48.106
it's like this is sad. So that would be great if we could just Now. It scrolls through.

593
02:20:48.106 --> 02:20:57.148
Different. Yeah, maybe it's like on the mobile. I don't know who's the website administrator here. We set those along that. Oh okay, yeah. Because on the

594
02:20:57.148 --> 02:21:08.759
mobile, it's still showing the one with like Winter and Grace guys. And it's like, I wouldn't want to go to school here. So thank you. Middle school today. Okay, I I professional photos

595
02:21:08.759 --> 02:21:18.136
when they're all done and beautiful. Yeah. Is that the tatum one? Oh, I missed it. Okay. so,

596
02:21:20.204 --> 02:21:28.646
Probably. Yeah. But be cashed. I appreciate that because it was very it. No, the one I took has like spraying and flowers and like I'll talk to their branches. Thank yeah. It's and

597
02:21:28.646 --> 02:21:35.286
there's very lovely landscaping, the Tate and people they do a wonderful job, so thank you.

598
02:21:35.286 --> 02:21:49.300
Any other comments? Lines on these again. Hawthorne I just wanted to make one additional request in when looking at the efficacy, I don't know if it's possible because I don't

599
02:21:50.401 --> 02:22:02.079
know what tools were available to measure that, but when you say that Lexia showed improvement from 60 to 80% say, is that markedly different than what we would have seen before Lexia was implemented. For

600
02:22:02.079 --> 02:22:10.121
example, when my daughter was in kindergarten for virtual covid That was the reading specialist and kindergarten teacher reported. That that was the

601
02:22:10.121 --> 02:22:21.032
highest improvement that she had ever seen in a class. We did not have Lexia at the time but they did have 45 extra minutes. They had the one they

602
02:22:21.032 --> 02:22:28.839
had a lower ratio because of the cohorts. So is it? Convenient correlation or is it true causality? And if it's possible to show some of those items

603
02:22:28.839 --> 02:22:56.166
that would be really helpful, I think. Thank you. Okay, close public comment and move on to our voting session. And governance acceptance of the monthly HIV. report by our state security

604
02:22:56.166 --> 02:23:07.779
drill and policy approval for policy 2436 motion. So okay, Discussion. we talked about the uptick in Hivs, which tends to happen

605
02:23:07.779 --> 02:23:18.656
every May and we had a very we had for fewer hivs, I feel like this year so it feels like more of a spike but it's a definite spike but as we we know

606
02:23:18.656 --> 02:23:28.132
that that's the trend. That's the thing that sometimes like we start with this before too of the more training people get on

607
02:23:28.132 --> 02:23:34.104
like what to report. Well yeah but I don't think that because we did that training. Yeah yeah, more comfortable with? Yeah I do
