DIRECTOR OF ADULT EDUCATION Mr. BARTS. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. BUT MS. WYATT TAKE IT AWAY. >> THANK YOU, Mr. BURKE. GOOD AFTERNOON BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT BURKE THE TEAM AND I ARE SO EXCITED TO PROVIDE UPDATES ON PATHWAYS TO

4
00:00:58.733 --> 00:01:14.033
POSSIBILITIES. JUST AS A REMINDER THIS WORK IS GROUNDED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE A1B AND YOU CAN SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF ONE OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE WELDING PROGRAM AT WEST TECH EDUCATION CENTER.

5
00:01:14.033 --> 00:01:34.800
AGAIN, WAITING FOR IT TO COME UP -- THERE WE GO. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS MOVING. THERE WE GO. AND NEXT SLIDE.

6
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:51.200
THANK YOU. AGAIN, OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES AND HAVE THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHETHER THEY WANT TO ENROLL IN A UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE, THEY WANT TO ENLIST IN THE ARMED SERVICE OR GO DIRECTLY

7
00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:09.366
INTO THE WORKFORCE. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO DO A RECAP FOR YOU ALL. THIS INITIATIVE STARTED WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S INTEREST IN STRENGTHENING OUR CHOICE AND CAREER PROGRAMMING AND THAT LED TO COLLABORATION WITH OTHER DISTRICTS WHICH LED TO TWO TRIPS

8
00:02:09.366 --> 00:02:25.833
WITH THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL. WE THEN COMMISSIONED ESG WHO DID A DEEP ANALYSIS, PROVIDED US WITH A REPORT. WE SHARED THAT REPORT WITH YOU AND THE FINDINGS OF THAT REPORT DURING OUR LAST WORKSHOP IN NOVEMBER. AND THEN WE LATER SUPPLIED A

9
00:02:25.833 --> 00:02:42.233
SUPPLEMENT TO ANSWER ALL THE GREAT QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT. TODAY'S PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS ON THE UPDATES SINCE THE LAST WORKSHOP. SINCE THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE WE'VE CREATED FOUR SUBCOMMITTEES AND THEY WERE CREATED TO ADDRESS

10
00:02:42.233 --> 00:02:59.400
THE FOUR AREAS THAT EMERGED OUT OF THE REPORT. YOU WILL SEE THEM LISTED ON THE SLIDE. WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE FORMAT OF THIS SLIDE FOR EACH ONE OF THE FOUR FOCUS AREAS SHARING WHAT WAS COMPLETED WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IN PROGRESS AND THE

11
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:15.333
NEXT STEPS. SO WE'RE GOING TO START WITH OUR FIRST FOCUS AREA OF CAREER PATHWAYS. AND VERY IMPORTANTLY WE COMPLETED THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY CATALOG. BACK IN THE NOVEMBER WORKSHOP WE SHARED A DRAFT OF TWO CAREER

12
00:03:15.333 --> 00:03:32.533
PATHWAYS AND WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. NOW THAT THE CATALOG IS COMPLETED EACH ONE OF OUR PATHWAYS IS OUTLINED ON A SEPARATE PAGE AND HIGHLIGHTS THE REQUIRED PROGRAM COURSES, THE INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS AND THE FOUR YEAR COURSE PROGRESSION THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT FOR

13
00:03:32.533 --> 00:03:49.300
OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IT WILL HELP THEM MAKE THE CAREER PATHWAY CHOICES BEFORE THEY LEAVE MIDDLE SCHOOL. WE DID A SURPRISE RELEASE OF OUR CHOICE LOTTERY RESULTS. AND AGAIN THIS WAS GREAT FOR OUR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS TO GET

14
00:03:49.300 --> 00:04:06.633
THIS NEWS EARLY AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR. BUT I MUST SAY THAT THE BULK OF OUR TIME IN CAREER PATHWAYS WAS SPENT IN AFALLACIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF A HIGH WAGE, IN DEMAND COMMUNITY VALUED PROGRAMS.

15
00:04:06.633 --> 00:04:24.700
AND Dr. JOHNSON WILL BE SPEAKING MUCH MORE TO THAT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT MENTION OUR FIRST COHORT OF STUDENTS IN OUR WELDING PROGRAM HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND GOING OFF TO PALM BEACH STATE ON A FULL SCHOLARSHIP WE ARE CELEBRATING THAT RIGHT NOW.

16
00:04:24.700 --> 00:04:41.733
AND CURRENTLY WE ARE CONTINUING TO IDENTIFY OUR EXPANSIONS AND OUR ENHANCEMENTS OF ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS. SOMETHING THAT CAME UP AT THE LAST WORKSHOP AROUND VIRTUAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS WE HAVE DUG INTO THAT THINKING ABOUT IF WE HAVE FOR

17
00:04:41.733 --> 00:04:59.000
EXAMPLE AN EXPERT CTE TEACHER AT ONE SCHOOL AND A NEW TEACHER THAT THERE COULD BE VIRTUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO SATELLITE FROM ONE SCHOOL TO ANOTHER TO MAKE SURE ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. LOOKING INTO PALM BEACH VIRTUAL

18
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:15.900
OPTIONS AS WELL. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION AND MAKING SURE WE ARE PROVIDING MORE CHOICE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHILE WE DO HAVE THEM CURRENTLY WE WANT TO EXPAND UPON THEM. STAY TUNED FOR THAT. AND NEXT STEPS WE TALKED ABOUT

19
00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:32.033
THAT PROGRAMS OF STUDY CATALOG THE NEXT STEP IS TO LINK AT THAT TIME CATALOG INTO OUR SELL LOW PLATFORM THAT CAREER ADVISING PLATFORM THAT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE ENGAGING WITH AND THEY ARE ABLE TO SEE NOT JUST ALL CAREER

20
00:05:32.033 --> 00:05:49.500
PATHWAYS BUT SPECIFIC TO PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND ACTUAL DECISIONS THAT THEY WILL BE MAKING AS THEY MOVE INTO OUR HIGH SCHOOL. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK'S CHOICE POLICY UPDATES WORKSHOP ON MAY 6 AS YOU WILL SEE THOSE POLICY CHANGES OR

21
00:05:49.500 --> 00:06:06.966
UPDATES GO HAND IN HAND WITH THIS WORK WE ARE DOING. LASTLY WE'RE GOING TO FINALIZE THE FY28 PROGRAMS Dr. JOHNSON IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL AND OUR CDE EXPANSION OUR DUAL ENROLLMENT EXPANSION.

22
00:06:06.966 --> 00:06:24.933
I WILL HAND IT OVER TO Dr. JOHNSON TO SPEAK ON OUR NEW AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS. WYATT. THESE ARE NOT NEW WE BROUGHT THESE TO YOU IN NOVEMBER. AT THAT TIME WE WERE KIND OF THINKING ABOUT THEM. WE ARE SO HONORED TO LET YOU

23
00:06:24.933 --> 00:06:42.800
KNOW NOW THAT THE FOUR PROGRAMS THAT YOU SEE HERE LISTED FOR THE HIGH SCHOOLS, THOSE FOUR PROGRAMS ARE SLATED TO START IN THE FALL FOR FY27. MRS. WYATT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT THE SUCCESS WE'VE SEEN ALREADY WITH OUR CAREER

24
00:06:42.800 --> 00:07:00.100
DUAL ENROLLMENT AND Mr. BART IS GOING TO TALK LATER ABOUT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU HOW WE GO ABOUT DECIDING WHAT PROGRAMS WE'RE GOING TO START, WHAT PROGRAMS WE NEED TO PERHAPS

25
00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:17.766
ENHANCE OR TO REPURPOSE. AND SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE IS A PROGRAMMATIC EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT PROCESS LISTED HERE. THIS PROCESS INCLUDES PATHWAY ANALYSIS, IT INCLUDES GETTING

26
00:07:17.766 --> 00:07:34.800
RECOMMENDATIONS, IT INCLUDES THE PROGRAM PROPOSAL PROCESS, LEADERSHIP REVIEW, AND THEN ULTIMATELY LAUNCHING THOSE PROGRAMS FOR FY28. SO AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE DO AN ANALYSIS OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT CRITERIA.

27
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:52.366
SOME OF THOSE WOULD INCLUDE LOOKING AT LABOR MARKET, OF COURSE, WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS WITH THE BDB, CAREER SOURCE PALM BEACH COUNTY AND CHAMBERS. ALSO LOOKING AT REGIONAL ACCESS, DETERMINING WHAT PROGRAMS NEED TO BE REPLICATED AND MAKING SURE

28
00:07:52.366 --> 00:08:07.633
THAT THOSE PROGRAMS ARE REPRESENTED IN EACH OF OUR REGIONS. OF COURSE, GETTING INPUT FROM OUR PRINCIPALS AS WELL AS TAKING A LOOK AT THE COST AS WELL AS THE CAPACITY WITHIN THE SCHOOLS.

29
00:08:07.633 --> 00:08:25.366
SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE PROGRAMS AT THAT TIME WE ARE STARTING THIS FALL, BUT WE'RE ALSO REALLY HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING THOSE PROGRAMS EVEN IF FY28. AS WE HAVE BEEN COLLECTING RECOMMENDATIONS, WE HAVE SOME

30
00:08:25.366 --> 00:08:44.133
ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SOME OF THE NEW PROGRAMS THAT WILL BE STARTING IN THE FALL. TO BE STARTING IN FY28. BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND SPORTS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO LAUNCH IN FY28.

31
00:08:44.133 --> 00:09:02.733
AND AS WE CONTINUE ALONG THE PROGRAM PROPOSAL PROCESS, WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU AND GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICITY WHERE THE PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO BE LOCATED. BUT IN PARTICULARLY WITH WEALTH MANAGEMENT AS YOU KNOW WE ARE

32
00:09:02.733 --> 00:09:19.033
NICKNAMED WALL STREET SOUTH THIS IS GOING TO FIT WITH SOME OF THE NEEDS OF THE COMPANIES WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH, MS. MS. WYATT AND I HAVE GONE TO SEVERAL BDB MEETINGS AND EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW OPPORTUNITY.

33
00:09:19.033 --> 00:09:36.866
NOW, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO Mr. BART AND HE WILL SHARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ADULT EDUCATION. >> THANK YOU, Dr. JOHNSON. WE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY IN ADULT EDUCATION ADDING NEW PROGRAMS FOR ADULT AND FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN DOING.

34
00:09:36.866 --> 00:09:54.333
WE'VE ADDED AND EXPANDED OUR INTEGRATED EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM WHICH IS COMBINING ACADEMICS WITH WORKFORCE SKILLS AND TRAINING TO PROGRAMS LIKE GED. RATHER THAN JUST LEARNING ABOUT THOSE ACADEMICS WE ARE INFUSING CAREER AND TECH INTO THOSE

35
00:09:54.333 --> 00:10:10.466
PROGRAMS. WE ARE STRENGTHENING THE QUALITY AND THE CREDIBILITY OF OUR SCHOOLS THROUGH THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS. WE USE TWO ACCREDITATION AGENCIES, THE COUNCIL ON OCCUPATIONAL EDUCATION AND ALSO THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR

36
00:10:10.466 --> 00:10:27.266
CONSTRUCTION, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH OR NCCER. ALL OF OUR SITES ARE ACCREDITED ON NCCER AS FAR AS THE COUNCIL ON POKE PARTICIPATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL AND WE WILL BE WORKING ON HISTORIC CARVER IN THE FALL.

37
00:10:27.266 --> 00:10:43.466
WE ALSO HAVE A VERY POPULAR CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS. WE'RE EXPANDING THAT. WE HAVE CAN YOU DIG IT AND ARE YOU ARE ELECTRICIAN THE STUDENTS REALLY ENJOY.

38
00:10:43.466 --> 00:11:01.500
THE NEXT SLIDE IS WE'RE GOING TO BE BRIEFLY REVIEWING THE TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTERS. SO THEY ARE ALL SETUP THE SAME WAY ON THESE SLIDES YOU HAVE THE ACCREDITATION ON THE TOP RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND YOU HAVE THE CURRENT PROGRAMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE RIGHT. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE LIKE

39
00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:18.800
WITH WEST TECH A FEW YEARS BACK WE ONLY OFFERED PREAPPRENTICE NOW WE HAVE SIX PROGRAMS THAT ARE DRIVING OUR STUDENTS FORWARD. AND THE NEW PROGRAMS THAT ARE PLANNED LISTED BELOW ON THE RIGHT AND WE HAVE WHAT IS GROUNDBREAKING IS OUR CAREER

40
00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:35.200
DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS WE'RE RAPIDLY GROWING THESE PROGRAMS GIVING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS A HEADSTART IN HIGH DEMAND FIELDS LIKE THE TRADES AND HEALTHCARE. IMPORTANT TO NOTE WE HAVE ONE PROGRAM CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT AT ONE SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

41
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:53.866
NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE THREE SCHOOLS OFFERING PROGRAMS, EIGHT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE FROM. YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT OUR WELDING PROGRAM, YES IT IS RED HOT AND AT THAT TIME PROGRAM WHEN THE STUDENTS GRADUATE IN MAY, WE WILL HAVE TWO GRADUATION

42
00:11:53.866 --> 00:12:11.900
CEREMONIES WE WILL DO ONE AT DOLLY HAND WHERE PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE WILL BE GIVING THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO THEIR TWO-YEAR WELDING PROGRAM SO THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AND GET AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE. THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS REALLY THE

43
00:12:11.900 --> 00:12:28.166
ARTICULATION AND THE RELATIONSHIP WE'VE BUILT WITH PALM BEACH STATE TO ADVANCE THESE STUDENTS AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE COUNTY. THE NEXT SLIDE IS REVIEWING CHUCK SHAW TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER. THE PROGRAMS ON RIGHT THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY OFFERING.

44
00:12:28.166 --> 00:12:46.033
WE ARE ADDING PHARMACY TECH FOR THIS COMING YEAR AND WE HAVE PROGRAMS PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE. THIS IS CHUCK SHAW'S FIRST YEAR IN OFFERING CAREER DUAL ENROLL: WE HAVE 80 SCHOLARSHIPS WE ARE

45
00:12:46.033 --> 00:13:02.333
PROVIDED TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TO ATTEND OUR TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTERS FOR THE FALL OF THIS COMING YEAR. NEXT UP WE HAVE HISTORIC CARVER TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER OUR NEWEST SITE AND THEY HAVE THE NCCR ACCREDITATION ON THE

46
00:13:02.333 --> 00:13:18.800
RIGHT-HAND SIDE SHOWS THE PROGRAMS WE OFFER AND NEW PROGRAMS PROJECTED IN THE FUTURE. THEY WILL BE OFFERING THREE CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT ON THOSE PROGRAMS ON THE LEFT SIDE WITH NEW PROGRAMS STARTING IN FY28. THE NEXT SLIDE IS NORTH

47
00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:36.200
TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER. AND THIS SITE HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL, BECAUSE IT'S OUR LARGEST SITE THAT HAS ALREADY LABS SETUP IN ALL OF THE HARD TRADES. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO RENOVATIONS THAT WILL BEGIN IN

48
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:52.900
THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR ON NORTH TECH. WE CURRENTLY ALL THE MAJORITY OF OUR PREAPPRENTICE PROGRAMS AT THIS SITE. AND BY THE WAY, IT'S NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP WEEK AND WE HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE BECAUSE WE STARTED OUR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM FIVE YEARS AGO.

49
00:13:52.900 --> 00:14:09.866
WE HAD ZERO APPRENTICES NOW WE HAVE 358 APPRENTICES WITH 228 ADDITIONAL PREAPPRENTICES WHICH FEED INTO APPRENTICE FOR 586 STUDENTS. SO WE'VE HAD TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN THAT AREA AND NORTH TECH

50
00:14:09.866 --> 00:14:26.566
REALLY HAS JUST A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NEW PROGRAMS WE'RE PLANNING. AND THEN I THINK WE COULD BE MORE AGGRESSIVE ON THE CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT AND MAKE SURE THE RENOVATION IS DONE WE WILL BE

51
00:14:26.566 --> 00:14:44.066
MOVING FORWARD WITH THOSE CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS TO SERVE THE NORTH AREA. HISTORIC ROOSEVELT IT'S OPENING IN THE FALL OF THIS YEAR. IT SHOULD BE READY IN MID-AUGUST. AND WE'VE ALREADY GOT SCHOLARSHIPS IDENTIFIED TO STUDENTS WHO WILL BE STARTING THERE IN THE FALL.

52
00:14:44.066 --> 00:15:02.200
WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT. AND CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT SOME WILL BE ENTERED INTO ENROLLMENT IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. ALL OF OUR EFFORTS ARE GROUNDED IN CREATING STRONGER PATHWAYS FROM CLASSROOM TO CAREERS.

53
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:19.366
SO THAT'S ALL AT THAT TIME I HAVE WITH ADULT EDUCATION I WILL PASS IT ON TO Dr. MORGAN. >> THANK YOU. SO WITH ALL OF THESE AMAZING PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES, THE CAREER ADVISING WORK GROUP SEEKS TO ENHANCE THE SUPPORTS AND RESOURCES WE ARE PROVIDING TO

54
00:15:19.366 --> 00:15:35.866
OUR STUDENTS AS THEY MATRICULATE THROUGH AND PREPARE FOR THEIR LIFE BEYOND THEIR K-12 EXPERIENCE. WITH THAT YOU SEE OUR CAREER ADVISING MODEL THAT BUILDS A FOUNDATION FOR OUR STUDENTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS WE WORK TO DEVELOP THEIR CAREER AWARENESS

55
00:15:35.866 --> 00:15:52.900
AND BUILD ON THAT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH PROVIDING STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER EXPLORATION AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WORK BASED LEARNING. WITH THAT MODEL IN MIND, THE WORK GROUP WORKED WITH AND

56
00:15:52.900 --> 00:16:10.400
COLLABORATED WITH ZELO AND JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT TO DEVELOP A PLANNING SCOPE AND SEQUENCE. IN THIS WORK THEY CREATED LESSONS THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS TO IDENTIFY THE CAREER CLUSTERS THAT THEY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN AS WELL AS PREPARE THEM FOR THE

57
00:16:10.400 --> 00:16:26.833
DISTRICT WIDE 8TH GRADE CAREER FAIR. THESE LESSONS ARE PROVIDED TO HELP THOSE STUDENTS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR CAREER AND CHOICES IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE TEAM ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE SECONDARY SOCIAL STUDIES

58
00:16:26.833 --> 00:16:44.133
DEPARTMENT TO EMBED CAREER EXPLORATION LESSONS IN THE SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM THIS HAS LED TO THE EXPANDED USE OF ZELO IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADES. 7TH GRADE IS GOING TO BE GETTING LESSONS THIS SPRING AND OUR

59
00:16:44.133 --> 00:16:58.966
INCOMING SIXTH GRADERS WILL RECEIVE THEIR LESSONS IN THE FALL. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LAUNCH OF THE MOBILE BIZ TOWN WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT WHICH WILL BE PROVIDING MORE CAREER AWARENESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FIFTH GRADERS ABOUT 1500 OF THEM

60
00:16:58.966 --> 00:17:16.866
WILL BE GIVEN CURATED LESSONS THAT WILL CULMINATE IN A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY WHERE THEY WILL LEARN ABOUT JOBS THAT ARE LINKED TO PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ON THOSE ROLES AND RUN THEIR OWN

61
00:17:16.866 --> 00:17:33.633
CITY. THE WORK GROUP WILL BE CONDUCTING A STUDY AT SOME OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS IN WHICH THEY ARE USING SOME HIGH YIELD CAREER ADVISING STRANGES. THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THE EFFECTIVENESS AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE TO

62
00:17:33.633 --> 00:17:50.233
SCALE THOSE STRATEGIES. THE REVIEW OF THE DELIVERY METHODS INCLUDING ONE-ON-ONE, VIRTUAL AND GROUP COUNSELING AS WELL AS LOOKING THE THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP APPROACHES THAT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE TAKEN. THEY WILL DEVELOP AND IDENTIFY BEST PRACTICES THAT CAN THEN BE

63
00:17:50.233 --> 00:18:07.900
IMPLEMENTED IN ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. THEY'VE ALSO DEVELOPED A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO WORK WITH THEM ON IMPLEMENTING THE CAREER ADVISING AROUND THE P CAP SO THEY ARE DOING THAT WITH FIDELITY. AND SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS EXCITING OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH

64
00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:25.900
SCHOOL COUNSELORS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE THE ONES IN THE SAME FEEDER PATTERN TO DISCUSS AND CUSTOM MY HOW THEY ARE ADVISING ON THE CAREER PATHWAYS THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. AND WE WANT TO ENSURE OUR PARENTS REMAIN INFORMED AND

65
00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:43.600
ENGAGED ABOUT THE ADVISING THEIR STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING. THE TEAM IS EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES TO STRENGTHEN THE CAREER ADVISING AND HOME CONNECTION. AND WITH THAT I WILL PASS IT BACK TO Dr. JOHNSON TO GO OVER OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS.

66
00:18:43.600 --> 00:19:00.900
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE AND COMPLETED AND KUDOS TO A FABULOUS TEAM OF STAFF THAT HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY ON THIS, WE HAVE CREATED AND REVISED SOME OF THE DOCUMENTATION TO USE TO ENGAGE

67
00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:18.266
WITH DIFFERENT INDUSTRY PARTNERS. THERE HAS BEEN REVISED INTEREST FORMS. THERE HAS BEEN A FAQ CREATED THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO POTENTIAL INDUSTRY PARTNERS. AS WELL AS A TIERED MENU OF ENGAGEMENT SO THAT BUSINESSES

68
00:19:18.266 --> 00:19:35.600
CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN BEST ENGAGE WITH OUR DISTRICT. WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE A TIER ONE, WITH SOMETHING SUCH AS CLASSROOM VISITS. OR ALL THE WAY UP TO A TIER 3. WHAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS WHAT WE HAVE IN PROGRESS

69
00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:52.733
RIGHT NOW. AND THAT IS A PACKAGE THAT CAN BE PROVIDED TO YOU ALL AS BOARD MEMBERS THAT YOU CAN HAVE IN YOUR CARS IN YOUR PURSES YOU CAN CARRY AROUND WITH YOU AS YOU ARE INTERACTING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY IF THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR

70
00:19:52.733 --> 00:20:09.933
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS WE'RE PROVIDING YOU WITH A QUICK PACKAGE THAT YOU CAN USE WITH CONTACT CARDS AS WELL AN AN ONBOARDING GUIDE. SO OUR NEXT STEPS IS TO GO THROUGH OUR TEAM THAT I SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER THAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS WORK.

71
00:20:09.933 --> 00:20:26.366
HAS GONE BACK AND DONE A THOROUGH REVIEW OF OUR EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS. AND HAVE IDENTIFIED A FEW GAPS THAT WE DO HAVE. ONE OF OUR FIGHT PRIORITIES NEXT STEPS IS FINDING PARTNERS AND MATCHING THOSE PROGRAMS APPROPRIATELY.

72
00:20:26.366 --> 00:20:43.500
IN ADDITION WE ARE ALSO PREY PAIRING TO HOST AND HAVE A PATHWAY INDUSTRY PARTNERS SYMPOSIUM. I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW INDUSTRY PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGING WITH. WE ARE IN SOME INITIAL

73
00:20:43.500 --> 00:21:01.500
CONVERSATIONS WITH BAR WAS, D WAVE AND SERVICE NOW. THESE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT SOME OF THOSE NEW PROGRAMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. PARTICULARLY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND REALLY TRYING TO SUPPORT THOSE NEW PROGRAMS THAT ARE COMING ONBOARD. BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THE

74
00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:17.900
OTHER THREE. BAKER HILL, WE DO AND SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS. WE HAVE HAD A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH THESE THREE INDUSTRIES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. WITH OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. OUR TELEVISION PRODUCTION

75
00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:34.266
PROGRAMS AT THREE OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS HAVE ENGAGED WITH THESE THREE COMPANIES TO LEARN ABOUT THE COMPANIES WHICH THEY ARE MANUFACTURING AND AS YOU KNOW MOST KIDS DON'T KNOW WHAT MANUFACTURING IS. BUT THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT MANUFACTURING. BUT THEY PUT THEIR TELEVISION

76
00:21:34.266 --> 00:21:50.433
PRODUCTION SKILLS INTO PLAY. AND THEY CREATED MARKETING VIDEOS TO MARKET MANUFACTURING FOR THESE COMPANIES IN A COMPETITIVE WAY. AND WE HAD TWO SCHOOLS WHO COMPETED AGAINST OTHER SCHOOLS AND SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN

77
00:21:50.433 --> 00:22:07.733
COUNTIES THAT WALKED AWAY WITH TOP HONORS. WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND THE EXPOSURE THAT IT BROUGHT TO OUR STUDENTS. ON THE RIGHT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EXPANDING SOME OF OUR EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS SUCH AS JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT BIZ TOWN A

78
00:22:07.733 --> 00:22:23.700
LITTLE BIT. FLORIDA CONNECT ACADEMY ONE ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS IT DEALS WITH HORIZONTAL CONSTRUCTION I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EXISTED BUT IT'S TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RIDE UP AND DOWN 95, THE TURNPIKE AND YOU SEE ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION

79
00:22:23.700 --> 00:22:40.800
SO THERE IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE THAT WE WANT TO MAKE OUR STUDENTS AWARE OF AND PREPARE THEM FOR. AND THEN ALSO ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS CAREER READY KNOWN AS SUITS FOR SENIORS, EXPANDING THEIR EXPOSURE AGAIN TO PROVIDE THOSE

80
00:22:40.800 --> 00:22:57.833
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP APPROACHES TO COMPLIMENT WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH CAREER ADVISING. REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE PARTNERSHIPS. I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO Dr. MORGAN. >> ALL RIGHT. SO AS FAR AS STUDENT AND FAMILY EN CAMPAIGNING.

81
00:22:57.833 --> 00:23:14.666
GOES WE KNOW THAT THAT IS A PRIORITY IN GETTING THE WORD OF ALL OF THE AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE IN THIS DISTRICT. IN THE FIRST BOARD SUPPLEMENT WE PROVIDED TO YOU IT INCLUDES A ONE-PAGE INITIATIVE EXPLAINER FOR USE BY THE BOARD AS WELL AS

82
00:23:14.666 --> 00:23:30.600
OUR COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS DESIGNED TO SUMMARIZE THE SCOPE OF WORK THIS INITIATIVE GROUP HAS BEEN DOING. ONE OF THOSE GOALS HAS BEEN STRENGTHENING OUR STUDENT FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE EXPANSION OF OUR TARGETED MARKETING EFFORTS, WHICH,

83
00:23:30.600 --> 00:23:47.666
ALREADY HAVE YIELDED GREAT RESULTS. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE DYNAMIC SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, SENDING OUT TEXT MESSAGES IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. MARKETING TO FAMILIES ALL ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY AS WELL AS MAKING PRESENTATIONS TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS.

84
00:23:47.666 --> 00:24:04.966
FOR THOSE EFFORTS WE DID SEE AN INCREASE OF ALMOST 3,000 APPLICATIONS THIS APPLICATION CYCLE. AND THIS GROWTH IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE DESPITE DECLINING ENROLLMENT WE SEE A DEFINITE RISE IN INCREASE IN THE INTEREST IN OUR PROGRAMS.

85
00:24:04.966 --> 00:24:21.700
AS AN ADDITIONAL RESOURCE THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM IS IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A VIRTUAL SEARCHABLE CATALOG THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS THAT WE OFFER AT OUR SCHOOLS, INCLUDING OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS. AND THEN WITH THE UPDATES THAT

86
00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:39.100
ARE BEING MADE TO THE CHOICE POLICIES THAT ARE FORTHCOMING A KEY NEXT STEP FOR THE INITIATIVE GROUP IS TO DEVELOP EXPLAINER VIDEOS TO HELP OUR FAMILIES NAVIGATE THE CHANGES AND PROVIDE DEEPER INSIGHT INTO OUR DIVERSE CHOICE PROGRAMS. THIS WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THE

87
00:24:39.100 --> 00:24:57.000
LAUNCH OF THE VIRTUAL CATALOG AND THE CONTINUED EXPANSION OF OUR TARGETED MARKETING STRATEGIES. ALL RIGHT SO BUILDING ON THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF OUR FY25 AND 26 MILESTONES WE ARE

88
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:15.333
NOW SHIFTING OUR FOCUS TOWARD THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS INITIATIVE. FY27 AND 28 OUR OBJECTIVES INCLUDE PROGRAMMATIC EXPANSION INCREASING WORKED BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH ROBUST INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS AND IMPLEMENTING THOSE HIGH YIELD

89
00:25:15.333 --> 00:25:31.433
CAREER COUNSELING STRATEGIES. THESE EFFORTS WILL BE SUPPORTED BY AN INTENSIFIED MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ARE AWARE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES. WANT TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT JUST TO THANK ALL OF THE COMMITTEEMEMBERS A GROUP OF

90
00:25:31.433 --> 00:25:49.466
CROSS COLLABORATIVE DISTRICT DEPARTMENTS AND SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY ON THESE VARIOUS GOALS AND INITIATIVES AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO ENSURE OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT REMAINS YOUR BEST CHOICE. >> AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR

91
00:25:49.466 --> 00:26:07.733
WORKSHOP ON PATHWAYS TO POSSIBILITIES. >> Karen Brill: WE WILL START WITH QUESTIONS. THE ORDER IS Mr. FERGUSON, MYSELF, MS. WHITFIELD, Mr. LANE AND MS. SAVIETTO. >> Edwin Ferguson: GREAT PRESENTATION.

92
00:26:07.733 --> 00:26:25.000
I HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK AND HAVE A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH YOU IN REFERENCE TO STARTING ON PAGE 5. HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO BRINGING VIRTUAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES TO THE DISTRICT IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH ACCESS TO THE PROGRAMS?

93
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:41.300
I REMEMBER MENTIONING THAT TO YOU ALL AT A PRIOR WORKSHOP AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT IS ON THE RADAR? >> WE ARE NOW IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE DIRECTOR OF PALM BEACH VIRTUAL LEARNING WE'RE SCOUTING OUT TEACHERS AND CONNECTING

94
00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:57.800
THOSE TEACHERS WITH OUR PROGRAMS. AND IN ADDITION LIKE I JUST THINK IT IS A MATTER OF US FINDING LOCATING WE ARE NOT -- I THINK WE COULD BE THERE BY MID-NEXT YEAR. NEXT COOL YEAR. IT'S IDENTIFYING THE EXPERTS ACROSS THE DECISION TRICK WITHIN

95
00:26:57.800 --> 00:27:14.133
THOSE PROGRAMS AND IDENTIFYING WHERE THE GAPS ARE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL KNOW THE BREADTH OF THOSE GAPS UNTIL THE YEAR BEGINS. AND AS SOON AS WE RECOGNIZE THE GAPS THAT IS WHEN WE WILL MAKE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE EXPERT TEACHERS WE'RE COLLECTING

96
00:27:14.133 --> 00:27:29.266
THAT INFORMATION. IN THE FALL WE WILL BE TACKLING IT AND TRYING TO GET THAT UP AND RUNNING. >> Edwin Ferguson: OKAY. FOLLOW-UP ON THAT ONE SECOND. >> I CAN COME BACK TO YOU ON THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

97
00:27:29.266 --> 00:27:48.966
>> Edwin Ferguson: GOT IT. I STILL THINK IT'S RELEVANT SO IS THE VIRTUAL HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO IN THE SITUATION WHERE WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A GIVEN TEACHER AT A SCHOOL, IF YOU ALL WOULD

98
00:27:48.966 --> 00:28:05.066
INDULGE ME THERE. HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO HAVING THAT SETUP MRS. WYATT IS TEACHING AT ROYAL PALM BEACH AND WE DON'T HAVE A PROFESSOR AT GLADES CENTRAL IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO

99
00:28:05.066 --> 00:28:22.333
CONNECT THE STUDENTS TO YOU AT THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOL? IS THAT POSSIBLE? >> THERE IS AND IT IS NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL IT'S IDENTIFYING WHERE THE GAPS ARE. THROUGH OUR GOOGLE MEETS WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. WE COULD PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY EVEN IF WE HAVE TEACHERS IN OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE GLADES

100
00:28:22.333 --> 00:28:39.800
THAT ARE THERE BUT THEY ARE STILL LEARNING THEIR CRAFT OR THEY ARE NOT AT THE EXPERT LEVEL AS ANOTHER SCHOOL, WE CAN STILL CONNECT THOSE TEACHERS AND ALSO THROUGH GOOGLE MEET BE ABLE TO CONNECT THEM VIRTUALLY. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF ARE WE

101
00:28:39.800 --> 00:28:57.933
ALLOWED TO DO THAT INVESTIGATING THAT? THE EASE IS EASY. IT'S MORE OF FURTHER PURSUING ARE WE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO DO THAT AND WHERE THE GAPS ARE. >> Edwin Ferguson: HOW SOON WILL WE BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT SECOND QUESTION ARE WE ALLOWED

102
00:28:57.933 --> 00:29:16.600
TO DO THAT? >> I THINK SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. YES. LET'S SAY WE -- >> SO IT'S ALSO DETERMINATION OF LOOKING AT THE MASTER BOARD. ARE WE ALLOWED TO DO THAT IN

103
00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:34.233
TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE A TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM AND THEN SATELLITING THAT OUT. WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SCHEDULING OF IT. DO WE HAVE THE TEACHERS AVAILABLE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT? THAT IS WHAT WE'RE EXPLORING IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE

104
00:29:34.233 --> 00:29:49.433
ABLE TO MATCH THOSE SCHEDULES UP. >> PAGE 7. IT REFERENCES PATHWAY ANALYSIS. CAN YOU JUST DEFINE WHAT THAT MEANS PATHWAY ANALYSIS? >> SO, YES. TAKING A LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM ROW

105
00:29:49.433 --> 00:30:08.866
THERE AS WE ARE PREPARING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS GOING BACK TO LEADERSHIP FOR FY28, WE TOOK A LOOK AT SEVERAL THINGS AS WE DECIDE WHAT TO REPLICATE, WHAT TO ENHANCE AND WHAT TO REPURPOSE. WE TOOK A LOOK AT ENROLLMENT

106
00:30:08.866 --> 00:30:25.100
NUMBERS, STUDENT INTEREST AND THE STUDENT INTEREST CAME FROM A MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THOSE STUDENTS GAVE US SOME INTERESTING INPUT IN TERMS OF THE TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

107
00:30:25.100 --> 00:30:41.700
WE LOOK AT METRICS SUCH AS OUR INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS OUR PASS RATES WITH THAT. THE STATE HAS US GOING BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT WITH SOME CERTIFICATIONS THAT ARE SUNSETTING AND NEW ONES COMING ON. WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR

108
00:30:41.700 --> 00:31:00.000
COMPLETION RATES OUR GRADUATION RATES WITH OUR STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAMS. OF COURSE, LABOR MARKET IS AT THE CORNERSTONE OF ALL OF WHAT WE DO BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE STARTING ARE GOING TO RESULT IN STUDENTS HAVING VIABLE EMPLOYMENT AND NOT JUST

109
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:17.333
EMPLOYMENT, BUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE WHAT WE CALL A FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGE OR HIGH WAGE AND IS IN DEMAND. IN ADDITION TO THE LABOR MARKET WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED IN AND COMMUNITY VALUE. WE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES KIDS MAYBE INTERESTED IN PROGRAMS

110
00:31:17.333 --> 00:31:32.966
THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY START OFF WITH A HIGH WAGE IN DEMAND BUT COULD RESULT IN THAT IN YEARS AFTER THEY GRADUATE. REGIONAL ACCESS REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT WE BASICALLY TOOK ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS OUR CURRENT

111
00:31:32.966 --> 00:31:49.066
PROGRAMS PUT THEM ON A MAP LOOKED AT WHAT THE DEMANDS ARE AND SAID OKAY, WHERE IS THIS PROGRAM MISSING IN A REGION? AND PRINCIPALS WE GET THEIR INPUT. THERE IS A BULLETIN THAT GOES

112
00:31:49.066 --> 00:32:05.866
OUT TO THE PRINCIPALS AND WE WANT THEM TO TELL US WHAT THEIR THINKING IS AROUND PROGRAMMING. AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING NEW OR IT COULD BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE REPURPOSED. AND OF COURSE, WE ARE ALWAYS TAKING A LOOK AT THE COST

113
00:32:05.866 --> 00:32:23.133
WHETHER THE SCHOOLS HAVE THE CAPACITY, WE'RE LOOKING AT FEEDER PATTERNS. ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL TELL YOU WE DO WELL AS A DISTRICT WE PAY ATTENTION TO FEEDER PATTERNS. AND WE ARE VERY GOOD AT AND I CAN SAY THAT, AT LOOKING AT WHERE WE HAVE KIDS IN ELEMENTARY

114
00:32:23.133 --> 00:32:40.133
AND THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT GIVE THEM THAT BASIC AWARENESS AND THEN AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL HOW WE CAN OPEN PREACADEMIES TO GIVE THEM MORE OF AN EXPLORATION AND BRING IT HOME IN HIGH SCHOOL WHERE THEY ARE NOW APPLYING THAT

115
00:32:40.133 --> 00:32:58.333
AND EARNING CREDENTIALS THAT ALLOW THEM TO WALKOUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND BE EMPLOYED OR BE READY FOR COLLEGE OR BOTH. AS MRS. WYATT SAID EARLIER. >> Edwin Ferguson: PAGE 14 IT WAS REFERENCED THAT HISTORIC

116
00:32:58.333 --> 00:33:15.566
ROOSEVELT WILL HAVE AN AEROSPACE PROGRAM. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THAT AEROSPACE PROGRAM. >> WE PUSHED THAT PROGRAM TO FY29 BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, WITH ROOSEVELT STARTING UP WE DON'T

117
00:33:15.566 --> 00:33:31.466
HAVE ANY STUDENTS. AND WE BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO OPEN UP IN MID-AUGUST AND WE NEED TO BUILD OUT SOME OF THE PROGRAMMING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING. THE AEROSPACE PROGRAM THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WAS SOMETHING SIMILAR

118
00:33:31.466 --> 00:33:48.166
TO THE BOYNTON PROGRAM WHERE IT WOULD BE AN AIR FRAME TYPE OF PROGRAM THAT IS SHEET METAL AND THAT IS WHY WE WANTED TO START ELECTRICAL THERE BECAUSE THE BODY OF THE PLANE HAS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. SO EVEN PREAPPRENTICE COULD HELP

119
00:33:48.166 --> 00:34:06.666
BUILD TOWARDS THE AEROSPACE PROGRAM. >> Edwin Ferguson: OKAY. PAGE 18. REGARDING STUDENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN ENROLLED IN OUR SCHOOLS? IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO

120
00:34:06.666 --> 00:34:24.300
IDENTIFY THEM AND TARGET THEM TO BRING THEM BACK INTO WHAT I BELIEVE IS THEIR BEST CHOICE HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. >> . >> ABSOLUTELY THAT HAS BEEN PART OF THE MARKETING CAMPAIGN AND WILL BE EXPANDED INTO THE COMING YEAR OF IDENTIFYING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THAT ARE NOT QUITE YET

121
00:34:24.300 --> 00:34:40.166
A PART OF TEAM PALM BEACH. BUT SENDING TARGETED MARKETING TO THOSE FAMILIES ABSOLUTELY. >> IF I MAY ADD TO THAT IT IS CHALLENGING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS SITTING IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE NEVER ENTERED INTO OUR DISTRICT THAT IS MORE CHALLENGING.

122
00:34:40.166 --> 00:34:57.800
FOR US TO SAY WE WOULD HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER. THAT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE. >> >> Edwin Ferguson: NOT A NUMBER BUT IT OCCURRED UNLESS THEY HAD THE BREADCRUMB OF BEING BEEN ENROLLED I WOULD IMAGINE YOU HAVE NO WAY TO IDENTIFY THEM. BUT I WAS ASKING IS THERE A WAY?

123
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:15.300
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OTHER INFORMATION SUPPORTS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO IDENTIFY EDWIN FERGUSON HE LIVES WHERE HE LIVES BUT HE'S NEVER BEEN IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM BUT WE WANT HIS PARENTS TO REALIZE YOU ARE SAVING, 50, 60,000 AND THE

124
00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:32.433
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR AT THIS PRIVATE SCHOOL I WAS WONDERING IF WE HAVE THOSE CAPABILITIES IN PLACE PRESENTLY? >> I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CHANCE OF Mr. COOLEY FOLLOW-UP ON THAT.

125
00:35:32.433 --> 00:35:50.766
ALREADY LIMITATIONS WE ARE MORE DATA ON STUDENTS THAT WERE PART OF OUR SYSTEM. IT'S TRICKIER TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS WITH NEVER INVOLVE. THERE'S SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIFFERENT CODING AND STUFF THAT IS BEYOND MY. >> WE WERE REVERSE TROLLING THAT

126
00:35:50.766 --> 00:36:07.533
IS GOOD. AND THEN LASTLY, JUST FOR PERSONS WHO MAY REVIEW THESE SLIDES, WHICH AGAIN THEY ARE GREAT, A.I. YOU WERE A PLUS AND NOW THE A.I. YOU ARE PLUS, PLUS WITH THE PRESENTATIONS WITH THE

127
00:36:07.533 --> 00:36:23.733
ACRONYMS WE SHOULD HAVE A LEGEND AT THE END SO IF SOMEBODY IS LOOKING AT THIS LATER THEY CAN SURMISE HWID IS OR CV IS. IT MEANS SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO THE DISTRICT.

128
00:36:23.733 --> 00:36:40.966
ALWAYS HAVE THOSE LEGENDS IN ANY PRESENTATION SOMEBODY IS GOING TO LOOK AT THIS LATER. OTHER CONSTITUENTS AS WELL. SO WE WANT TO MAKE IT AS EASY TO DIGEST AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> Karen Brill: I DON'T HAVE AS MANY QUESTIONS I HAVE MORE COMMENTS.

129
00:36:40.966 --> 00:36:57.600
AND I WILL START OFF WITH SAYING THAT WHEN Dr. JOHNSON WAS SPEAKING ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION AND PARTNERSHIPS, IT BROUGHT TO MIND I WAS AT ABC BUILDERS AND SEPARATE FROM YOUR PRESENTATION, THEY ASKED TO GO ON OUR MAILING LIST FOR WHEN WE HAVE JOB FAIRS

130
00:36:57.600 --> 00:37:15.166
BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET THAT. Mr. BAR. KNOWS IT WAS SUNNY WHO CAME TO ME AND ASKED FOR A MEETING AND HE GAVE US FOR FREE THE ELECTRICAL PROGRAM AT JOHN I. LEONARD FROM ABC BUILDERS. AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT YOUR

131
00:37:15.166 --> 00:37:32.500
PARTNERS YOU HOPE YOU BUILD THEM INTO YOUR CONVERSATION BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND THAT WAS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY AT JOHN I. LEONARD FOR THE STUDENTS TO BE IN AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. AND THAT BRINGS ME TO THINK ABOUT GEORGE KUWAITED GENERAL

132
00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:49.000
CONTRACTORS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM. SOME OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN HELPING OUT PARTICIPATING. YOU NEVER KNOW. THEY ARE IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY AND AGAIN, FOCUSING ON BUILDING, IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH ABC IT WAS INTERESTING THEY

133
00:37:49.000 --> 00:38:05.533
SAID THEY WOULD REALLY LIKE US TO START THINKING ABOUT INTRODUCING STUDENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE BUILDING TRADES I PUT THAT ON YOUR RADAR BECAUSE THEY SAID IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND I TOLD THEM I HAD BEEN AT HIDDEN OAKES MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR THE CELEBRATION AND

134
00:38:05.533 --> 00:38:22.533
HOME DEPOT HAD SETUP A TABLE WHERE THEY HAD KIDS BUILDING STUFF AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS WERE FLOCKING TOWARDS IT. I DO THINK WE COULD LOOK TO DOING SOMETHING WITH THE TRADES A LITTLE BIT EARLIER TO SEE WHAT THE STUDENTS' INTERESTS ARE.

135
00:38:22.533 --> 00:38:40.166
AND THEN FINALLY I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT NOW WITH A.I. IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR US TO TRACK WHAT OUR STUDENTS DO WHEN THEY LEAVE. DO THEY STAY IN THE TRADES? I KNOW THAT IN MY DISTRICT MANY STUDENTS GO TO THE AUTOMOTIVE

136
00:38:40.166 --> 00:38:57.400
PROGRAM AT PARK VISTA BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO TO PARK VISTA AND THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN AUTOMOTIVE. SO IF WE COULD HAVE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THAT STUDENTS WOULD REALLY BE INTERESTED IN SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO A SCHOOL TAKING A

137
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:15.200
PROGRAM JUST TO GET INTO THAT SCHOOL AND MAYBE THAT IS WHERE CONTROLLED OPEN ENROLLMENT WILL HELP US SO THE STUDENTS THAT GO IN THERE TO SEE THESE WONDERFUL PROGRAMS WILL BE ABLE TO PURSUE THEM. THOSE WERE ALL MY COMMENTS AND NOW TO MS. WHITFIELD.

138
00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:31.866
>> Erica Whitfield: I WANT TO SAY A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON HOW WELL YOU'VE DONE ON THE INDUSTRY PARTNERS. THAT IS A BIG STEP FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT GOING FORWARD MAKING SURE WE ARE CONNECTING WITH THE BUSINESSES IN OUR COMMUNITY. I DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO THINGS. ONE YOU MENTIONED SO I WILL

139
00:39:31.866 --> 00:39:49.033
BRING THIS UP A LITTLE BIT. IT'S ABOUT THE CAPACITY OF OUR COMMUNITIES. WITH THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING THE COUNTY LEVEL AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY I'VE TALKED TO Mr. BAR. ABOUT THIS THERE'S BEEN PUSH TO HAVE MORE VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL CENTERS COME UP.

140
00:39:49.033 --> 00:40:04.166
I THINK THE COMMUNITY FIRST OF ALL TO Mr. COOLEY DOESN'T COMPLETELY KNOW WHAT WE HAVE COMING ONBOARD. I THINK WE NEED TO EXPAND THAT INFORMATION SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS OUT THERE. BUT I'M WONDERING IF I CAN JUST

141
00:40:04.166 --> 00:40:21.500
ASK YOU, WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS COMMUNITY HOW DO YOU ASSESS WHAT THE CAPACITY FOR OR THE NEED IS? HOW MUCH TECHNICAL EDUCATION SHOULD WE HAVE VERSUS WHAT WE DO HAVE AND WHAT IS THAT GAP? >> SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE

142
00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:38.866
DO REALLY WELL IS WE TALK TO OUR PARTNERS. OUR MAJOR PARTNERS BEING THE BDB, AS WELL AS CAREER SOURCE PALM BEACH COUNTY AS WELL AS OTHER CHAMBERS. AND WE GET A LOT OF INPUT FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS IN TERMS OF

143
00:40:38.866 --> 00:40:55.366
WHERE A COMPANY MIGHT BE BEING BUILT. IN FACT, LAST WEEK, MRS. WYATT AND I SAT AT A TABLE AND WE ACTUALLY ALL DAY AND WE LISTENED TO NEW COMPANIES THAT ARE COMING INTO PALM BEACH COUNTY IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC ALLOCATIONS

144
00:40:55.366 --> 00:41:08.966
WHERE THE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO BE AND THEY'VE EXPRESSED TO US HEY WE NEED 800 OR 400 OR HOWEVER MANY EMPLOYEES AND WHAT KINDS OF BACKGROUNDS THEY NEED THOSE EMPLOYEES TO HAVE.

145
00:41:08.966 --> 00:41:28.133
WHETHER IT'S MECHANICS OR CNC OR MEGATRONICS, ENGINEERING, BACKGROUNDS. WE REALLY HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR PARTNERS AND THAT'S WHERE WE GET A LOT OF OUR INFORMATION FROM LABOR

146
00:41:28.133 --> 00:41:44.766
MARKET. >> WE HUGHES THE STATISTICS PROVIDED TO US BY CAREER SOURCE WHERE THEY PROJECT OUT NEED OVER THE NEXT ONE TO THREE YEARS AND THEY GO FURTHER THAN THAT. THERE'S OTHER AGENCIES THAT DO IT AS WELL IT GIVES US AN IDEA OF THE JOB MARKET AND WHAT IT

147
00:41:44.766 --> 00:42:02.266
LOOKS LIKE IN THE FUTURE. >> CAN YOU TELL US AT ALL WHAT THE GAP IS RIGHT NOW? WITH ARE WE NEED TO BE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT TO FILL THAT GAP? >> THE GREATEST NEED IS ACTUALLY HEALTHCARE. THE HEALTHCARE FIELD IS WAY WE

148
00:42:02.266 --> 00:42:20.133
JUST NEED SO MANY PEOPLE IT'S JUST NOT THAT MANY ARE GOING INTO THAT AREA. SO WE HAVE PROGRAMS AT ALL OF OUR TECH CENTERS OFFERING THAT TO ADULTS. AND MOST HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE. >> WE HAVE MEDICAL ACADEMIES AT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS EXCEPT FOR FOUR.

149
00:42:20.133 --> 00:42:37.266
BUT FRED IS RIGHT. HEALTHCARE, AS YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR ON THE NEWS ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND QUANTUM SO INDIVIDUALS AND NOT ALWAYS THE HIGH-END ENGINEERS ARE NEEDED. THERE ARE PEOPLE AT THE TECHNICIAN LEVEL THAT ARE NEEDED.

150
00:42:37.266 --> 00:42:55.100
SO SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS AND THEN PARTNERING THE NEXT STEPS PERHAPS WITH SOME OF THE QUANTUM AND A.I. PROGRAMS THAT PALM BEACH STATE IS INSTITUTING TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AND

151
00:42:55.100 --> 00:43:10.733
CERTIFICATIONS. BUT THAT IS ALSO ANOTHER AREA. SO HEALTHCARE, IT, WE ARE A HUGE HOSPITALITY HUB HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. AND ALTHOUGH SOME OF THOSE ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS MAY NOT BE AT A

152
00:43:10.733 --> 00:43:27.200
CERTAIN WAGE THRESHOLD THERE IS TONS OF POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH TO GET TO A CERTAIN WAGE. AND, EVERYBODY, WE MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT FINANCE. THERE IS A HUGE BOARD IN THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD'S CONFERENCE ROOM WITH ALL THE

153
00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:44.300
FINANCE COMPANIES THAT THE MOVED HERE AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US HEY WE NEED PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS. AND NOT JUST FINANCE, BUT EVEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HEALTHCARE. IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE PRACTITIONER SIDE OF THE HOUSE THERE'S A BUSINESS SIDE OF THE

154
00:43:44.300 --> 00:44:00.466
HOUSE FOR EVERY COMPANY THAT COMES HERE INTO PALM BEACH COUNTY, THEY NEED A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES. >> Erica Whitfield: JUST IN THE FUTURE, I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO AS A BOARD TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE.

155
00:44:00.466 --> 00:44:17.000
I THINK WE DO HAVE A LOT GOING ON IN THIS COMMUNITY BUSINESSES COMING IN. SO I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO SAY I NEED 800 EMPLOYEES AND IT TAKES THREE YEARS FOR US TO BUILD OUT A PROGRAM. BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NOT FAST ENOUGH AND I DO THINK SOME OF THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE

156
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:34.166
ABILITY TO MOVE QUICKER THAN WE DO. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO Mr. BARTS ABOUT OUR ABC ORGANIZATION THEIR INTERESTED IN POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS. SO I THINK AS WE GO FORWARD WE HAVE TO EXPLORE ALL AVENUES. ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO

157
00:44:34.166 --> 00:44:51.433
BRING UP ON THE NEW AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS YOU HAVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, QUANTUM COMPUTING, AS FAR AS I KNOW, AND FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME, I THINK THESE ARE ONE OFF PROGRAMS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY. DO WE HAVE MULTIPLE QUANTUM

158
00:44:51.433 --> 00:45:06.333
COMPUTING PROGRAMS. >> WE HAVE ONE OFFS THAT WILL START IN THE FALL BUT YOU SAW THE SLIDE TALKING ABOUT FY28 EXPANDING PART OF THAT ANALYSIS IS LOOKING THROUGHOUT THE REGIONS TO SEE WHERE WE CAN REPLICATE THOSE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. >> THAT IS GREAT.

159
00:45:06.333 --> 00:45:23.333
I LOVE WE'RE EXPLORING THESE. THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY AND WE'VE EXPERIENCED THIS AT FOREST HILL HIGH SCHOOL JUST TAKING FROM THE LESSONS THERE WHEN WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT WE ONLY OFFER ONE OF IN THE COUNTY I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE

160
00:45:23.333 --> 00:45:40.166
ALLOCATING ENOUGH SEATS SO IF A CHILD WANTS TO TRAVEL TO THE SCHOOL THERE IS A SPACE FOR THEM TO DO IT AND THAT WE CAN CREATE AN ENTIRE CLASS SO IT'S NOT JUST THE STUDENTS THAT JUST HAPPEN TO RESIDE AT ROYAL PALM BEACH HIGH

161
00:45:40.166 --> 00:45:57.500
SCHOOL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THESE ARE ARE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE AS A COUNTY ARE PROVIDING. AND THOUGH IT IS A DISTANCE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THAT TRAVEL I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN TRULY GET INTO. THANK YOU. >> I THINK YOU ARE ON TRACK ALL

162
00:45:57.500 --> 00:46:15.366
OF THESE PROGRAMS HERE THE PROGRAM PROPOSALS THAT HAVE COME IN INCLUDED ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ON HERE WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID THE ONE OFFS TO YOUR POINT. >> Karen Brill: Mr. >> Matthew Lane: LANE I WILL BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING SUPERINTENDENT BURKE HE PUT

163
00:46:15.366 --> 00:46:33.433
TOGETHER THE A TEAM. OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OUR CHIEF OF STAFF OUR DIRECTOR OF CHOICE AND CAREER OPTIONS AND DIRECTOR OF ADULT COMMUNITY EDUCATION. IT SHOWS HIS COMMITMENT TO ENHANCING OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION FACILITIES

164
00:46:33.433 --> 00:46:48.400
IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. THANK YOU TO Mr. BURKE FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH AN INCREDIBLE TEAM. AND YOU'VE DONE GREAT WORK. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A

165
00:46:48.400 --> 00:47:06.033
LOT AND I HAVE THREE THOUGHTS THAT I WANT TO SHARE ON THE TOPIC. FIRST, AS EVERYONE KNOWS 40% OF OUR STUDENTS AREN'T GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE AND AT THE SAME TIME IN THE TRADES PLUMMER, CARPENTERS THEY ARE AGING OUT. WE NEED TO ENSURE WHEN OUR

166
00:47:06.033 --> 00:47:22.400
STUDENTS GRADUATE WE HAVE CREATED A PATHWAY FOR THE 40% OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT GOING TO COLLEGE TO GO INTO ONE OF THESE TRADES. I BELIEVE THERE'S FIVE COMPONENTS. FIRST WE TALKED ABOUT TESTING. WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT SKILLS

167
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:38.833
APTITUDES AND INTEREST THE STUDENTS HAVE. SECOND, WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT CAREER COUNSELING TO EVALUATE THESE TEST RESULTS AND EXPLAIN THE POSSIBILITIES TO OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR LEARN PARENTS AND GUIDE THEM INTO THE APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS. THIRD, WE NEED TO IMPROVE

168
00:47:38.833 --> 00:47:56.433
REPURPOSE AND CONSTRUCT OUR BUILDINGS TO ACCOMMODATE THE 40% OF OUR STUDENTS WHO AREN'T GOING TO COLLEGE THAT IS ONE OUT OF TWO. WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT TRANSPORTATION ABOUT HOW THE CHILDREN CAN GET TO AND FROM THESE FACILITIES. AND FINALLY WE NEED 0 ENROLL

169
00:47:56.433 --> 00:48:14.833
TEACHERS TO TEACH THESE TRADES. I'VE MET WITH A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE CONSTRUCTION MARINE AND HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES. IT SEEMS TO ME IF WE CAN PROVIDE THE INDUSTRIES WITH A PIPELINE OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PERSUADE THEM

170
00:48:14.833 --> 00:48:31.733
TO PROVIDE US WITH THE TEACHERS WHO CAN TEACH THEIR FUTURE EMPLOYEES THESE TRADES. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK OF THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION THEY FUNDED A STUDY OF THE JOB MARKET IN PALM BEACH COUNTY WHICH WE ARE USING TO GUIDE OUR STUDENTS INTO THE APPROPRIATE CAREER

171
00:48:31.733 --> 00:48:47.266
SELECTION. THE SECOND THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, OUR ENROLLMENT IS DECLINING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE A VERY, VERY COMPETITIVE LOTTERY TO GET INTO OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS.

172
00:48:47.266 --> 00:49:05.400
IT SEEMS TO ME IF THERE IS A HUGE DEMAND FOR OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS AND THESE PROGRAMS ARE WHAT PEOPLE WANT WE SHOULD EXPAND OUR ENROLLMENT IN THE CHOICE PROGRAMS THAT PEOPLE ARE CLAMORING TO GET INTO. WE HAVE CUSTOMERS THAT WANT OUR SERVICES AND WE NEED TO EXPAND

173
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:22.500
OUR PROGRAMS TO ACCOMMODATE THESE CUSTOMERS. AND THE THIRD THING I WANT TO TOUCH ON IS CONDUCTING SURVEYS OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE LEFT OUR DISTRICT. IF I HAD A BUSINESS AND 5 -- 7,000 OF MY CUSTOMERS LEFT LAST

174
00:49:22.500 --> 00:49:38.700
YEAR I WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHY. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD SURVEY THOSE STUDENTS WHO LEFT TO FIND OUT WHY THEY LEFT. AT THE CONFERENCE THAT I ATTENDED A FEW WEEKS AGO ONE OF THE SPEAKER SAID IF YOU ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS THE PROBLEMS

175
00:49:38.700 --> 00:49:55.666
OFTEN SOLVE THEMSELVES AND THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS WHY ARE STUDENTS TAKING THEIR VOUCHERS AND GOING SOME PLACE ELSE AND GOING TO CHARTER SCHOOLS? WHY ARE PARENTS HOME SCHOOLING? IT SEEMS WE NEED TO SURVEY THE STUDENTS WHO LEFT THE DISTRICT TO FIND OUT WHY OUR CUSTOMERS

176
00:49:55.666 --> 00:50:11.833
LEFT US. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY OBSERVATIONS ON CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION OTHER THAN ASK THIS QUESTION WHAT IS NEXT? WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE? >> WE HAVE NOT SCHEDULED THAT YET BUT WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION TO

177
00:50:11.833 --> 00:50:30.066
PROVIDE. >> COULD YOU WE ARE IN APRIL, COULD WE GET AN PROXIMATION WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO COME BACK TO US WITH THIS? >> I WOULD THINK UNLESS Mr. BURKE WANTS TO TAKE THIS ONE? >> >> Mike Burke: EACH OCTOBER WE HAVE OUR SHOWCASE OF SCHOOLS AND

178
00:50:30.066 --> 00:50:47.000
IT WOULD BE PRIOR TO THAT IN THE FALL MAYBE A NATURAL POINT IN TIME TO GIVE THE BOARD AN UPDATE WHAT PROGRAMS WILL BE ABLE TO PUT INTO THE CHOICE BOOKLET FOR THE FY28 SCHOOL YEAR. >> SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER WE'LL SEE YOU BACK AGAIN. GREAT JOB.

179
00:50:47.000 --> 00:51:04.633
TO SEE THE PROGRESS IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL YOU ALL HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AND OF COURSE YOU DID YOU ARE OUR A TEAM. >> Karen Brill: MS. SAVIETTO. >> >> Virginia Savietto: GREAT PRESENTATION.

180
00:51:04.633 --> 00:51:21.300
A FEW QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM MY MARKETING BRAIN OUT OF THE 95% OF THE STUDENTS THAT WILL GRADUATE, 4.5 DON'T GRADUATE. WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THEM? THEY ARE NOT GRADUATING SO WE KNOW THEY ARE NOT GRADUATING WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT

181
00:51:21.300 --> 00:51:38.200
WE HAVE ALL OF THAT. WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM JUST WALK AWAY, MAYBE THEY THINK ABOUT IT AND REACH OUT TO THEIR PARENTS OR DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT NUMBER OF KIDS THAT WE COULD HELP. AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT 100% OF THE CHILDREN THAT THE STUDENTS

182
00:51:38.200 --> 00:51:54.800
WE'RE GRADUATING 100% OF THAT 95 SHOULD BE IN TWO PATHS EITHER THE CAREER OR THE TRADES. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. BUT WE ARE ASKING AND I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS, WE'RE ASKING KIDS THE WRONG QUESTION WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE?

183
00:51:54.800 --> 00:52:11.066
I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT AND I HAD A REAL GIFT THAT PEOPLE COULD SEE I WAS CREATIVE AND DOING THINGS AND I COULDN'T ARTICULATE AND IT TOOK ME SIX YEARS TO GRADUATE. I COULDN'T FIND IT. INSTEAD OF ASKING CHILDREN OR

184
00:52:11.066 --> 00:52:28.033
LOOKING, WHAT ARE THEY GOOD AT? BECAUSE WHEN WE UNDERSTAND AND YOU'LL HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH LUCA I'M LOOKING AT WHAT HE IS GOOD AT HE WAS ABLE TO ARTICULATE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING CREATIVE.

185
00:52:28.033 --> 00:52:43.766
BUT HE WASN'T ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHAT HE DID LIKE. I'M THINKING ENVIRONMENTAL HE DID GREAT IN STEMS. SO IT'S VERY HARD FOR A KID TO SAY I WANT TO BE AN ENGINEER, AN ARCHITECT. WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ENTAILS.

186
00:52:43.766 --> 00:53:01.333
I WENT THROUGH IT WHEN I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS ALL 3-D, I FAILED MS. RALLY I WAS VERY UNHAPPY. SO WE NEED TO START ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS BECAUSE, AGAIN, THESE KIDS THEY ALL WANT TO BE AN ASTRONAUT RIGHT NOW THEY WANT

187
00:53:01.333 --> 00:53:17.700
TO BE INFLUENCERS. RIGHT? AND, AGAIN, I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO SUCCESSFUL ELECTRICIANS AND YOU KNOW HOW THEY ENDED UP IN THE ELECTRICITY WORLD? ONE SUMMER A NEIGHBOR SAID COULD YOU WORK WITH ME THIS SUMMER TO MAKE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE THIS

188
00:53:17.700 --> 00:53:36.133
MUCH AND THE KID SAID GROWN MAN, GOSH I WILL MAKE MORE THAN MOWING THE LAWN. AND HE NEVER LEFT IT BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT HE WAS GOOD AT IT, TOO. SO A LOT OF THEM FIND IT BY CHANCE BUT WHAT ARE THEIR CHANCES WE NEED TO START ASKING

189
00:53:36.133 --> 00:53:51.133
DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. THE ENGAGEMENT OF PARENTS IS HUGE. BECAUSE WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE IT'S THIS AND NOT THAT AND IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE THAT WE ENGAGE PARENTS NOT JUST WITH FLYERS.

190
00:53:51.133 --> 00:54:10.000
WE GET BOMBARDED WITH STUFF AND INFORMATION AND I DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW BUT I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE PARENTS AT ANY LEVEL WHETHER THE KID IS GOING TO GRADUATE, THAT GRADUATE WE NEED THE PARENTS WITH US SO WE

191
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:27.133
CAN SHOW THEM THE AMAZING THINGS WE OFFER. I LOVE SPORTS MANAGEMENT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN AS MUCH AS I LOVE SPORTS I SAT WITH MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PATHS AND THEY

192
00:54:27.133 --> 00:54:44.133
TALKED ABOUT SOCCER AND TRYING TO TELL ME RINALDO WAS BETTER THAN MESSY. AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT SPORTS. I WOULD HAVE STAYED THERE FOR THE WHOLE DAY. I'M THINKING WOW IF THIS GETS SOME WILL KNOW WE HAVE SPORTS

193
00:54:44.133 --> 00:55:01.633
MANAGEMENT MAYBE THEY WOULD CONSIDER IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THE SPORT OR THEY COULD BUT DO SOMETHING ELSE. THERE'S GREAT OPPORTUNITIES HERE WITH SPORTS MANAGEMENT LOOKING AT OUR SCHOOLS THEY HAVE ALL THE SPORTS ALREADY EVEN IN THE SPORTS AS SPORTS.

194
00:55:01.633 --> 00:55:19.766
I LOVE THE WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND A.I. THAT IS WONDERFUL. AND, AGAIN, I WROTE ON TWO PAGES SO IT'S IMPORTANT. OUR HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS WE NEED THOSE COULD BE OUR CLIENTS IF WE WANT TO CALL IT LIKE THAT.

195
00:55:19.766 --> 00:55:36.200
PHARMACY TECHNICIAN. I LOVE IT. THAT IS A CAREER THAT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART. SO WE HAVE BIG PHARMACIES, LITTLE PHARMACIES YOU KNOW, MOM AND POPS WE HAVE PUBLIX PHARMACY, WALMART AND THOSE ARE

196
00:55:36.200 --> 00:55:53.333
PARTNERS NOT JUST FOR MONEY BUT SO MANY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES. WE LOOK AT ALL THE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT CHOICES. AND WE OKAY, INTERIOR DESIGN WHAT INTERIOR DESIGNERS OR

197
00:55:53.333 --> 00:56:09.600
FASHION DESIGN THAT WOULD WANT TO COME IN? AND GIVE TIME, RESOURCES AND SO WE JUST HAVE TO LOOK AND THEN GO FOR IT. THERE IS A GENTLEMAN A JUNG GENTLEMAN THE OWNER OF THE AMBULANCE SERVICE HE WANTS TO

198
00:56:09.600 --> 00:56:26.666
GROW OUR OWN EMERGENCY AMT DRIVERS AND ALL OF THAT AND I SAID COME ON LET'S DO IT. SO WE HAVE TO GO AFTER THIS BUSINESSES THAT ALREADY EXIST. AND SAY LOOK AND PRESENT THE MENU TO THEM OF ALL THE AMAZING

199
00:56:26.666 --> 00:56:43.566
THINGS WE HAVE. THERE ARE SO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES AND BUSINESS OWNERS AND BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HELP. BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHICH WAY OR BUT WE HAVE ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL IDEAS AND

200
00:56:43.566 --> 00:57:01.900
OPPORTUNITIES. AGAIN, SO WE NEED TO SURVEY OUR 8TH GRADERS, 7TH GRADERS AND FIND OUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO A CHOICE IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS VERY, VERY SURPRISED TO SEE MANY KIDS AT LUCA'S MOVING

201
00:57:01.900 --> 00:57:19.000
UP GRADUATION OF 8TH GRADE THEY WERE ONLY TAKING ACE CLASSES THEY WERE NOT IN MY PROGRAM. SO AND THE PARENTS WERE EDUCATED THEY SPOKE ENGLISH THERE WERE NO EXCUSES BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW. I THINK THE PROGRAMS ARE THE

202
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:33.933
BASIS FOR KIDS TO BE MORE CLEAR WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL OTHERWISE IT'S OVERWHELMING. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? I DON'T KNOW. WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT AND THOSE QUESTIONS WILL HELP US.

203
00:57:33.933 --> 00:57:51.833
WE GOT FOR SPORTS WE GOT THE BOWL OF THE PALM BEACHES, WE HAVE POLO, WE GOT WE HAVE SOCCER, WE GOT OTHER SPORTS THAT WE HAVE THIS LITTLE AND BIG PARTNERS THAT COULD HELP US.

204
00:57:51.833 --> 00:58:06.866
WHEN IT COMES TO BEING SUCCESSFUL, WE GOT THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. WE GOT AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES. WE JUST HAVE TO BE WITH -- WE HAVE TO HAVE A BIG VISION AND THEY WILL COME.

205
00:58:06.866 --> 00:58:26.566
AND WE CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE WHOLE MENU AND IDENTIFY ALL THE BUSINESSES THE BIG ONES AND THE LITTLE ONES AND THEY WILL COME. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD CAN HELP US. I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT WE CAN BE VERY SUCCESSFUL. THE KEY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR

206
00:58:26.566 --> 00:58:42.866
KIDS ARE IN A PROGRAM AND HOW DO WE GET TO THE PARENTS AND MAKING SURE THAT THE PARENTS ANSWERING SOME I THINK IT WAS MATTHEW Mr. LANE OR PARENTS TALK. LUCA PLAYED SOCCER FOR THE FIRST

207
00:58:42.866 --> 00:58:59.200
TIME AND PARENTS TALK WHEN WE ARE WATCHING OUR KIDS AND THEY TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKE ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE SCHOOL. IF THEY ARE DOING GREAT IF THE PARENTS TALKING TO EACH OTHER THEY ALSO HAVE FRIENDS WITH KIDS IN OTHER SCHOOLS LIKE CHOICE AND

208
00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:16.166
IF WE HAVE HAPPY PARENTS, THEY WILL BRING THE PARENTS BACK TO -- THEY WILL WILL BRING THE KIDS BACK TO OUR SCHOOLS. THE BEST WAY IS WORD OF MOUTH. WE DO AN AMAZING JOB AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HEAR IT.

209
00:59:16.166 --> 00:59:33.866
WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DO MUCH BUT CONCENTRATE TO HELP THE ONES THAT ARE NOT GRADUATING, THEY ARE NOT ENROLLED. WE KNOW THEM THEY ARE NOT ENROLLED. WE HAVE TO KNOW THEM. THANK YOU, AGAIN AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE

210
00:59:33.866 --> 00:59:49.633
NEAR FUTURE. >> Karen Brill: THANK YOU. MS. ANDREWS,. >> Marcia Andrews: THEY IT WAS GREAT LOOKING THE THE WRITTEN WORD AND THE PRESENTATION. I THINK WE'VE COME A LONG WAY AS YOU KNOW THAT WE GAVE UP ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS OUR TECHNICAL SCHOOLS BACK IN THE DAY AND

211
00:59:49.633 --> 00:59:53.166
WE'RE TRYING TO PLAY CATCH UP WITH THE DISTRICTS ACROSS THE

212
00:59:53.166 --> 01:00:24.100
STATE OF FLORIDA.

213
01:00:24.100 --> 01:00:40.900
[AUDIO INTERRUPTION] I JUST NEED TO SEE ACTION. AND KIND OF WORRIES ME AND I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING Mr. LANE I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE WAITING ON A LOT OF THINGS AND THANK YOU Mr. BURKE FOR WORKING WITH THE TRI CITIES EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO BRING

214
01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:57.266
CROSSROADS ACADEMY AND STUDENTS AND A NEW BUILDING TO WEST TECH TO GET THE TRAINING NECESSARY. BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GET THE CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAMS AND WE SAY WE'RE DOING ALL THESE THINGS NOTHING IS HAPPENING. AND I JUST KNOW I'M NOT PLEASED

215
01:00:57.266 --> 01:01:14.233
WITH WHAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS OF HAVING CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM. I LOVE THE CHOICE PROGRAM Dr. JOHNSON I WAS WITH YOU AT PALM BEACH CENTRAL FOR THE MEDICAL PROGRAM AND THE BUSINESS PARTNERS SO I UNDERSTAND ABOUT BUSINESS PARTNERS. WORKING WITH FLORIDA CRYSTALS

216
01:01:14.233 --> 01:01:30.800
TRYING TO GET WEST TECH UP AND RUNNING AND WE ARE MODELED WITH THE DUAL ENROLLMENT WELDING PROGRAM. WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF PAPER HERE I WANT TO ASK AND MAYBE THE ANSWER IS YES. IF IT IS THAT IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR ME. DO WE HAVE THE TEACHERS FOR THE

217
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:46.700
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECH AND THE STUDENTS READY SINCE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR 2027 IS THAT FOR 2027? >> SO THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECH IS CURRENTLY RUNNING AT

218
01:01:46.700 --> 01:02:02.666
WEST TECH FOR ADULTS. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR STUDENTS. >> FOR STUDENTS COMING ON DUAL ENROLLMENT YES WE HAVE A PART-TIME TEACHER THAT IS WORKING WITH US. AND I DON'T KNOW IF Dr. FORD HIRED SOMEONE TO TEACH THAT FOR

219
01:02:02.666 --> 01:02:20.266
THE CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT OR NOT. >> IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN IN 2027? THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN 2027? OR TALKING ABOUT JUST CONTINUING WITH WELDING DUAL ENROLLMENT. >> ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECH IS ON

220
01:02:20.266 --> 01:02:38.266
THE BOARD FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. >> DO WE HAVE A TEACHER AND A BUDGET? >> WE HAVE. >> STUDENTS? >> Dr. FORD WAS SPEAKING TO EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL I KNOW SHE WAS GOING TO GLADES CENTRAL PAPA HOKIE TO EXPLAIN THE PROGRAM TO JUNIORS AND I DON'T

221
01:02:38.266 --> 01:02:55.233
KNOW THE EXACT ENROLLMENT AT THIS TIME. >> I HAVE TO SEE STUDENTS AT WEST TECH AND I MEAN THAT AND THANK YOU Mr. BURKE FOR BRINGING CROSSROADS ACADEMY BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL SAD AS I'M TRYING TO WIND OFF OF THIS BOARD THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING TO GET

222
01:02:55.233 --> 01:03:12.933
WEST TECH UP AND RUNNING AND THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN THERE'S NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET. I MEAN I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PRINCIPAL AS WELL AS THE TRI CITIES AND THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO SHOW US YOU HAVE STUDENTS BEFORE WE CAN DO A PROGRAM. WE DID A SURVEY OF ALL THE STUDENTS IN THE GLADES REGION

223
01:03:12.933 --> 01:03:30.600
AND THEY WERE ASKING FOR CERTAIN THINGS JUST LIKE CULINARY AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL COME WITH THE NEW BUILDING THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING I WANT TO KNOW Mr. IMPLEMENT BOTHMY IS THAT FOR 2027 OR 2028. >> IT'S ACTIVE RIGHT NOW.

224
01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:47.600
>> WE HAVE STUDENTS THERE? >> FOR THE FALL OF 26, YES, THAT IS THE PLAN IS SHE HAS BEEN RECRUITING I DON'T HAVE THE ENROLLMENT NOW HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE THERE BUT WE HAVE A POSTED POSITION FOR THAT PROGRAM. >> THE COMMUNITY RIDES BY WEST

225
01:03:47.600 --> 01:04:02.900
TECH AT NIGHT IT'S HOPPING BECAUSE OF THE PROGRAMS. WE SPENT ALL THE MONEY AT WEST TECH FOR ELECTRICAL, HVAC, CARPENTRY AND CONSTRUCTION BUT ON YOUR PAPER HERE, CONSTRUCTION IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

226
01:04:02.900 --> 01:04:20.600
IT'S AT ST. LUCIA'S BUT WE SPENT THAT MONEY TO START ALL THESE PROGRAMS AND WHY CAN'T WE HAVE SOME OF THE STUDENTS IN SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT WEST TECH? I'M HAPPY TO HEAR WE WILL HAVE STUDENTS AND A BUDGET AT WEST TECH TO GET MORE STUDENTS.

227
01:04:20.600 --> 01:04:38.333
I'VE SHARED WITH THIS DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT WYATT AND THE MAYOR OF BELLE GLADE THEY WANT TO SEE CHILDREN IN WEST TECH. AND THIS IS LOVELY STUFF WE'RE COMING UP WITH THAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2028 WHEN I SEE 2027, I JUST

228
01:04:38.333 --> 01:04:58.900
SEE WEST TECH WITH THE CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT FOR WELDING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE MORE STUDENTS. >> WE HAVE FOUR CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT ESTABLISHED FOR THE FALL OF 26 IS WELDING, ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECH AND ANY

229
01:04:58.900 --> 01:05:16.100
BOTHMY. >> MY QUESTION IS DISTRICT 6 COVERS WELLINGTON, ROYAL PALM BEACH TO ACRES I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE YOU WORKING WITH CHEYNE'S SEARCH WELL PUTTING THE MONIES IN TRANSPORTATION TO MAKE SURE CHILDREN CAN GET THERE OR ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A VIRTUAL

230
01:05:16.100 --> 01:05:32.566
PROGRAM WHERE THERE CAN BE A TEACHER WORKING WITH CHILDREN ON THE EASTSIDE. Dr. FORD SAID SHE WENT OUT TO ALL OF THE SCHOOLS IN DISTRICT SIX AND COULD NOT GET THE KIDS. THE COMMUNITY ASKS ME WHY AREN'T OUR KIDS GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY

231
01:05:32.566 --> 01:05:49.133
TO GO TO WEST TECH? AND THEN I'M TOLD AND YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN MY MEETING WITH ME IT MAKES ME FRUSTRATED SITTING HERE THAT IT MAYBE ANOTHER YEAR AND THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE IT'S EMPTY DURING THE DAY. YOU HAVE A HOME HEALTH AIDE

232
01:05:49.133 --> 01:06:05.233
PROGRAM AT WEST TECH DURING THE DAY FOR ADULTS. I MET WITH THE TEACHER BECAUSE I'M ON THE GROUND IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN WEST TECH AND I ASKED THIS LADY CAN YOU DO THIS PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS? AND SHE SAID YESTERDAY BUT Dr. FORD MENTIONED THERE'S NOTHING

233
01:06:05.233 --> 01:06:21.566
IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT. SO WE CAN SAY ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL THINS AND I LOVE IT AND HAPPY YOU HAVE COME TO THE TABLE WITH GREATNESS TODAY BUT WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET ON THE GROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAMS. I DON'T WANT IT TO BE 2028

234
01:06:21.566 --> 01:06:38.466
BEFORE WE SEE STUDENTS ROLLING AT WEST TECH AND WHEN PEOPLE PASS BY THEY CAN ONLY SEE IT ROLLING AT NIGHT AND THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING. I LOVE THE WELDING PROGRAM. I NEED ANOTHER TEACHER THE WELDING TEACHER AT WEST TECH ASKED ME WE NEED ANOTHER TEACHER.

235
01:06:38.466 --> 01:06:56.800
I TOLD THAT TO Dr. FORD AND MS. MOORE AND WE CAN'T GET ONE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET. AS I LOOK AT THIS I'M WONDERING IS IT GOING TO BE WE'VE FINISHED THE CHOICE PROGRAM IN THE CAREER ACADEMIES AND KIDS ARE SITTING

236
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:15.133
IN NORMAL PROGRAMS IN THE FALL AND WE ARE SITTING HERE IN MAY. I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE KIDS READY FROM WELLINGTON, RIL PALM BEACH, WESTLAKE TO GO TO WEST TECH AND HAVE YOU PUT A PACKAGE TOGETHER SO THAT YOU COULD HAVE BUS TRANSPORTATION? THEY DID IT IN THE PAST.

237
01:07:15.133 --> 01:07:33.666
IT WAS A HOB-NOB OF PEOPLE CHILDREN COMING FROM THE EAST GOING TO THE WEST. I WANT TO KNOW ARE WE THERE OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT JUST A POCKET OF CHILDREN IN THE GLADES AND THAT'S IT. CAN YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION? >> I CAN. I KNOW THAT Dr. FORD WAS OUT

238
01:07:33.666 --> 01:07:51.866
MARKETING THE PROGRAM. WE CAN'T FORCE STUDENTS INTO THOSE PROGRAMS THEY ARE OPTIONAL TO GET IN. WE DO NOT HAVE A TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN THE EAST. >> I'VE ASKED FOR IT A LONGTIME. I'VE ASKED FOR IT BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT AND WE

239
01:07:51.866 --> 01:08:09.766
WERE THERE BEFORE WITH TRANSPORTATION FOR CHILDREN FROM THE EAST. PRINCIPALS ASKED ME WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS CROSSING THE STAGE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN ANOTHER YEAR WITH 2027 AND WE STILL HAVE AN EMPTY WEST TECH

240
01:08:09.766 --> 01:08:25.966
FORKED WESTERN COMMUNITY. IT'S ALL OVER THE DISTRICT BUT I'M BEARING DOWN TODAY BECAUSE I JUST CANNOT STAND TO SEE IT. AND I'M GOING TO BE HERE UNTIL NOVEMBER TO SEE THAT BUILDING SITTING THERE AND WE HAVE A POCKET FULL OF CHILDREN WHEN I

241
01:08:25.966 --> 01:08:42.100
KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF KIDS AT ROYAL PALM BEACH I AM HE IN THAT SCHOOL AND I KNOW SEMINOLE RIDGE HAS A WONDERFUL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM BUT WE WERE DOING CONSTRUCTION WHERE WE SPENT ALL THAT MONEY FOR HVAC. I DON'T SEE IT ON HERE.

242
01:08:42.100 --> 01:08:59.233
I SEE OTHER STUFF ON HERE. BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE MONEY WE SPENT WHEN WE HAVE SIMULATORS AT WEST TECH SITTING VACANT DURING THE DAY. AND JUST WAITING TO BE USED AT NIGHT. WE CAN SPEND OUR MONEY BETTER THAN THAT WHEN WE HAVE CHILDREN.

243
01:08:59.233 --> 01:09:17.533
CHILDREN THAT NEED THAT HELP. AND I'M HAPPEN THAT CROSSROADS ACADEMY IS COMING. I DON'T KNOW A FEW YEARS BUT THOSE CHILDREN AT CROSSROADS NEED TO BE THERE. WE HAVE KIDS THAT ARE WALKING OUT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MAY NEXT MONTH WITH

244
01:09:17.533 --> 01:09:34.166
NOWHERE TO GO. AND SO I LOVE ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL STUFF THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. I JUST KNOW WE CLOSED THE CHOICE EARLY. AND THESE KIDS ARE STILL SITTING BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE BUREAUCRACY OF A CHOICE PROGRAM. THOSE THAT KNOW IT THEY ARE AT

245
01:09:34.166 --> 01:09:50.633
THOSE THE FAIRGROUNDS AND YOU KNOW THE LINE IS LONG AND IT'S CLOSED OR THEY MAY NOT GET SELECTED. FOR ALL THIS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IT HAS TO BE A ROBUST MARKETING. YOU CAN'T SIT HERE IN THE DISTRICT AND TALK ABOUT IT. I NEED TO SEE YOU ON THE GROUND IN THE COMMUNITY IF YOU ARE

246
01:09:50.633 --> 01:10:08.133
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING FOR 2028 I NEED TO SEE IT AND I KNOW YOU SAY YOU HAVE THIS COMMITTEE AND EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT WHO IS IT THAT IS TALKING ABOUT IT THAT TRULY KNOWS THE PARENTS IN THE COMMUNITY WHAT THE NEEDS ARE? AND I JUST KNOW IN DISTRICT SIX

247
01:10:08.133 --> 01:10:25.900
IT'S VERY DIVERSE FROM THE VERY RICH TO THE VERY POOR. AND ALL OF THOSE CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. AND WEST TECHNICAL EDUCATION IS THEIR TECHNICAL SCHOOL AND SO I MEAN I SEE A POCKET FULL OF KIDS THERE AND THAT IS A DISGRACE TO ME AFTER I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THAT

248
01:10:25.900 --> 01:10:43.433
IS WHY THE SUPERINTENDENT KNOWS THE MAYORS AND THE ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE NOT HAPPY BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE NOT THERE. AND Dr. FORD HAS DONE THE BEST SHE CAN BUT SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T GET THE MONIES THERE WAS NO BUDGET, NO TRANSPORTATION. BUT I KNOW WHEN I SEE THE KIDS

249
01:10:43.433 --> 01:11:06.800
ACROSS THE STAGE AT ROYAL PALM BEACH, ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS I SEE A LOT OF KIDS THAT NEED A LOT OF HELP. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE NOT IN THE PROGRAM.

250
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:24.300
>> WE ARE IN RECRUITING SEASON WHEN WELDING FIRST STARTED, WE BARELY HAD ANY STUDENTS. WE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR WHEN WE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB GOING OUT INTO THOSE SCHOOLS AND WORKING WITH THE PRINCIPALS TO GET TRANSPORTATION FOR THE KIDS IN THE WEST AND GET KIDS IN THE

251
01:11:24.300 --> 01:11:41.033
PROGRAM. THERE WAS STUDENT INCREASE IN THE WELDING PROGRAM THAT WAS THE FIRST DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM WE HAD. WE HAD MEGATRONICS GOING ON WHICH WAS JUST FOR SECONDARY PROGRAM. >> IT WAS POPULAR. AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE

252
01:11:41.033 --> 01:11:57.666
FROM THE EAST KIDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WATERED DOWN NOW FOR WEST TECH. >> YEAH, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK YOUR VISION IS THE SAME AS OURS. RIGHT NOW WHAT WE ARE RECRUITING FOR THREE PROGRAMS THAT ARE

253
01:11:57.666 --> 01:12:14.833
STARTING BRAND NEW OR TWO THAT ARE NEW THE ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY WHICH CHANGES FROM SECONDARY TO CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT IN THE FALL NOT FY28 IN THE FALL AND THE PLA BOTHMY

254
01:12:14.833 --> 01:12:29.933
PROGRAM AND OUR PRINCIPALS ARE SEEKING TEACHERS FOR ALL THE OPENINGS AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO DOING THAT. I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE MARKETING WE WILL FOLLOW-UP TO ENSURE WE ARE NOT JUST MARKETING IN THE WEST THAT WE CONTINUE TO MEET WITH THE PRINCIPALS ON THE EAST AND THOSE

255
01:12:29.933 --> 01:12:47.266
SCHOOLS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CLOSEST TO WEST TECH TO MARKET THE PROGRAM AGAIN. WE CAN'T FORCE KIDS INTO THE PROGRAM BUT WE BELIEVE LIKE YOU BELIEVE THERE ARE STUDENTS IN THESE SCHOOLS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM THE OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.

256
01:12:47.266 --> 01:13:05.533
WE KNOW THAT STARTING CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS IN THESE SCHOOLS THEY FIRST HAVE TO BE ROBUST ON THE ADULT ED SIDE BEFORE YOU CAN OPEN THEM ON THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR SIDE. THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT TO TRY TO GET KIDS INTO THE BUILDING. RIGHT WE ARE NOT WHERE WE WANT

257
01:13:05.533 --> 01:13:22.133
TO BE. WE CAN EXPLORE TRANSPORTATION. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. I KNOW THAT IS PART OF OUR CONVERSATION ONCE WE FIGURE OUT WHICH KIDS WANT TO ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM. WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR AND WE AGREE WITH YOU. WE NEED TO GET THE PROGRAMS.

258
01:13:22.133 --> 01:13:40.000
>> I THANK YOU SO MUCH I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION BEFORE THE END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR. ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THOSE FEEDER SCHOOLS TO THE EAST OF THE GLADES AS WELL AS THE WEST. I WOULD LIKE TO SIGH THE NUMBERS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

259
01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:57.400
IN 2028 IS ALREADY HERE ALMOST WHEN WE START SAYING MARKETING AND MAKING SURE CHILDREN HAVE WHAT THEY NEED AND PARENTS ARE EDUCATED TO KNOW WHAT THEY CAN GET FOR THEIR CHILDREN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PROGRAMS. AND I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR THAT. BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THEM BUT

260
01:13:57.400 --> 01:14:14.700
IF YOU ARE MISSING A SEGMENT OF THE CHILDREN THAT NEED IT, THEY MAY NOT GET IT. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PACKAGE IS FOR WEST TECH THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. >> WE NEED TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH MORE SPECIFIC NUMBERS AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT SCHOOLS WE'RE

261
01:14:14.700 --> 01:14:31.200
GOING TO AND TRANSPORTATION MORE SPECIFICS AROUND THOSE PIECES I THINK THE VISION IS THERE THE PROGRAMS ARE THERE THE HIRING OF THE TEACHERS ARE THERE IT'S GETTING THE STUDENTS THERE THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS ANSWERS. >> WITH THE TRI CITIES EDUCATION BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR TO

262
01:14:31.200 --> 01:14:48.566
MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE THAT WEST TECH IS UP AND RUNNING. IT'S UP AND RUNNING WITH A LOT OF GREAT THINGS I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S NOT. THE ADULT SIDE IS GOOD AND THIS IS THE STORY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NORTH TECH AND THE GREAT STUFF

263
01:14:48.566 --> 01:15:04.866
IF WE DON'T GET IT RIGHT WITH WEST TECH ALL WERE CLOSED WE OPENED WEST TECH WHEN NOBODY ELSE WAS OPEN, I LOVE SEEING CARVER WITH THEIR HOME HEALTH AIDE PROGRAM. THAT THEY HAD DURING THE DAY WHEN I WENT TO VISIT IF WE CAN'T

264
01:15:04.866 --> 01:15:22.366
GET WEST TECH RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE HERE TO GET STUDENTS IN THAT SCHOOL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE REST OF THIS IF WE DON'T GET PARENTS INVOLVED FOR THOSE CHILDREN ESPECIALLY THAT TRULY NEED IT. ALL OF THEM NEED SOME KIND OF A CAREER FUNCTION AND CHOICE DOES IT.

265
01:15:22.366 --> 01:15:38.500
Dr. JOHNSON I TALK TO YOU ALL THE TIME ABOUT IT AND I WANT THE FIRE ACADEMY OUT THERE. I WAS HAPPY WE GOT IT AT WELLINGTON AND PALM BEACH LAKES BUT IF WE DON'T BEGIN TO LOOK AT THIS WEST TECH MODEL YOU ARE WAY, WAY PAST WHAT WE'VE DON AT

266
01:15:38.500 --> 01:15:53.433
WEST TECH AND THIS BEAUTIFUL PACKET THAT WILL YOU PUT ON DISPLAY FOR THE OTHER AREAS YOU CAN'T LEAVE WEST TECH BEHIND AND WE STARTED BEFORE EVERYBODY ELSE I WANT TO SEE KIDS ROLLING IN WEST TECH AND I MEAN THAT HAS TO HAPPEN LIKE SOON.

267
01:15:53.433 --> 01:16:16.433
THANK YOU. >> Mike Burke: I WILL JUSTED SAY WE SHARE THE BOARD'S SENSE OF URGENCY. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKEUP FOR LOST TIME. WE HAVE ABANDONED THESE PROGRAMS

268
01:16:16.433 --> 01:16:33.700
30 YEARS AGO. THERE'S CATCHING UP TO DO BUT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF THINGS WE PUT INTO ACTION IN THE RECENT HISTORY WITH THE HISTORIC CARVER, ROOSEVELT, NORTH TECH THESE PROJECTS THANK TO THE PENNY SALES TAX AND THE ABOARD

269
01:16:33.700 --> 01:16:49.000
APPROVING THEM. WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR CHOICE PROGRAMS AND THE DEMAND HAS TO BE THERE. IF THE STUDENTS WANT TO TRAVEL TO WEST TECH WE WILL FIGURE HOW TO GET A BUS TO GET THEM OUT THERE. IT'S A CHALLENGE TO GET THE STUDENTS TO MAKE THAT COMMUTE WE

270
01:16:49.000 --> 01:17:03.266
ARE COMMITTED TO IT AND WE WILL KEEP GROWING IT AND WE WILL BE BACK IN THE FALL WITH AN UPDATE. >> Mike Burke: THANK YOU, TEAM. >> HR POLICY WORKSHOP LED BY TIM

01:17:03.266 --> 01:17:33.300
CUBIC OUR CHIEF OF HR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON BOARD MEMBERS,

272
01:17:33.300 --> 01:17:50.366
Mr. BURKE I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE WHO IS AT THE TABLE. TO MY RIGHT I HAVE MRS. DELLA VAGUE OUR DIRECTOR OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDINGS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB REDUCING CASES AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES.

273
01:17:50.366 --> 01:18:07.133
AND OUR NEWEST HR MANAGER IS AMBROSE. SHE LEADS UP OUR HR OPERATIONS TEAM WHICH CONDUCTS OUR BACKGROUND SCREENINGS AND MONITORING THEM AS WELL. AND WE HAVE ATTORNEY MIDDLETON

274
01:18:07.133 --> 01:18:25.200
WITH US AS WELL. THIS AFTERNOON WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING SEVERAL HR POLICIES WE WILL BE WALKING YOU THROUGH REVISIONS TO OUR CODE OF ETHICS OUR BACKGROUND SCREENING AND SELF REPORTING OF ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS POLICIES. AT THE END I ALSO HAVE A QUICK

275
01:18:25.200 --> 01:18:42.633
RECOMMENDATION FOR A REPEAL OF A POLICY THAT IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE. SO FOR POLICY 3.02 CODE OF ETHICS THIS IS ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT POLICIES IT SETS EXPECTATIONS FOR EMPLOYEE CONDUCT AND IT APPLIES BROADLY TO ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND

276
01:18:42.633 --> 01:18:59.400
ASSOCIATES EXTENDS TO CONDUCT BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE WORKPLACE WHEN IT IMPACTS THE DISTRICT AND OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A CULTURE OF ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AS IT RELATES TO CONDUCT RELATED TO OPERATIONS OF THE DISTRICT.

277
01:18:59.400 --> 01:19:15.166
REVISIONS INCLUDE STUDENT SAFETY, A ROT OF LANGUAGE CLARITY. ALIGNMENT WITH LAW AND GUIDANCE ON MODERN RISKS. WE'VE MADE EXPECTATIONS MUCH MORE EXPLICIT SO THEY ARE ENFORCEABLE AND APPLIED AS WELL.

278
01:19:15.166 --> 01:19:32.900
HERE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT UPDATES TO THE POLICY. OUR GOAL WITH THESE REVISIONS IS TO OUTLINE PROHIBITED BOUNDARY CROSSING BEHAVIORS TO ALIGN WITH OUR OPS PRACTICES. THINGS LIKE PRIVATE ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS UNSOLICITED GIFTS,

279
01:19:32.900 --> 01:19:48.366
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSPORTATION OR REMOVAL OF STUDENTS FROM OTHER CLASSROOMS. OFF CAMPUS CONTACT INCLUDING MESSAGING APPS. MESSAGES THAT DISAPPEAR AFTER THEY ARE SENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THESE CHANGES MOVE US FROM THE GENERAL EXPECTATIONS AND THE

280
01:19:48.366 --> 01:20:06.900
HOPE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT IS CROSSING THE LINE OR NOT. TO ACTUALLY VERY CLEAR ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS. OUR GOAL IS PREVENTION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EMPLOYEES ARE CLEAR THAT THESE ARE PROHIBITED AND KNOW WHERE THE LINE IS BEFORE ISSUES OCCUR

281
01:20:06.900 --> 01:20:24.333
AND PREVENT VIOLATIONS LIKE THIS. NEXT IS REVISION REINFORCES OUR DISTRICT'S EXPECTATION TO MAINTAIN A DRUG AND ALCOHOL FREE WORKPLACE. NOT A LOT OF CHANGES HERE BUT A WORD CHANGE FROM SHOULD TO SHALL HAS A BIG IMPACT.

282
01:20:24.333 --> 01:20:40.433
MAKES IT CLEAR THAT EMPLOYEES MAY NOT BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE WHILE PERFORMING JOB DUTIES. THE CHANGE REMOVES LANGUAGE THAT LIMITED PROHIBITION OF ILLEGAL OR UNAUTHORIZED DRUGS TO SITUATIONS INVOLVING STUDENTS. REALLY CLEAN UP NOT THAT WE'RE

283
01:20:40.433 --> 01:20:55.733
ALLOWING THOSE THINGS TO HAPPEN BUT WE WANTED THE LANGUAGE TO MATCH WHAT WE ARE DOING. NEXT IS HAS TO DO WITH FALSE OR MANIPULATED DIGITAL CONTENT A NEW RISK TO THE WORLD PROHIBITS EMPLOYEES FROM CREATING,

284
01:20:55.733 --> 01:21:13.000
ALTERING USING TRANS MILTING OR DISTRIBUTING MATERIALLY FALSE OR MISLEADING DIGITAL CONTENT INCLUDING A.I. GENERATED MEDIA THAT INVOLVES, EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS, FAMILIES, OPERATIONS OR INVESTIGATIONS. CONFIRMS THAT FALSIFIED DIGITAL

285
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:30.133
CONTENT MAY CONSTITUTE UNETHICAL CONDUCT AND IT EXPERIENCE ENS OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND WHEN IT'S USED TO MISLEAD, HARASS, EMBARRASS OR RETALIATE OR DISRUPT DISTRICT OPERATIONS.

286
01:21:30.133 --> 01:21:47.500
NEXT FOR PUBLIC FUNDS AND PROPERTY. THIS NEXT CHANGE IS AIMED AT PROTECTING OUR DATE TAN MAKING SURE IT'S USED FOR NECESSARY PURPOSES ONLY. OFFICIAL USE ONLY FOR DISTRICT RECORDS DATA BASES OUR SYSTEMS AND NONPUBLIC INFORMATION NO PERSONAL USE OR ACCESS TO

287
01:21:47.500 --> 01:22:06.000
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR PURPOSES UNRELATED TO THEIR JOB RESPONSIBILITIES. SO NO MISUSE OR DISCLOSURE OF STUDENT OR EMPLOYEE INFORMATION FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR PRIVATE REASONS. AND PUSHING PEOPLE TO USE THE PUBLIC RECORDS PROCESS IF THEY WANT INFORMATION THAT IS OUTSIDE

288
01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:26.000
THEIR ASSIGNED JOB DUTIES. NEXT IS A CHANGE IN ESTABLISHING THE DISTRICT RESOURCES CANNOT BE USED FOR PERSONAL LITIGATION OR CLAIMS, REINFORCES HONESTY AND GOOD FAITH IN ALL PROCEEDINGS,

289
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:44.133
ENSURES DISCIPLINE WOULD OCCUR AFTER A FINAL DETERMINATION OF BAD FAITH OR FABRICATION IS MADE BY A NEUTRAL BODY A COURT, ARBITRATOR OR ADMINISTRATIVE BODY PROTECTS EMPLOYEES RIGHTS TO FILE CLAIMS AND SAFEGUARDS

290
01:22:44.133 --> 01:23:02.733
DISTRICT RESOURCES. NEXT IS A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT ADDITION REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION. IT CLARIFIES THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION GAINED THROUGH AN EMPLOYEE POSITION CANNOT BE SHARED INCLUDING ON SOCIAL

291
01:23:02.733 --> 01:23:20.633
MEDIA. NOW THIS POLICY NOW REFERENCES JUST EMPLOYEES. BEFORE THAT IT REFERENCED JUST INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL. BUT THIS REALLY APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES. REFERENCES MUST BE FACT BASED TIED TO DOCUMENTED PERSONNEL

292
01:23:20.633 --> 01:23:37.800
RECORDS, IT ENSURES THAT RELEVANT MISCONDUCT IS NOT OMITTED PARTICULARLY WHEN MAKING A HIRING DECISION. NEXT SLIDE FOR MANDATORY INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING THIS UPDATE WAS A RECOMMENDATION BY THE AUDITOR GENERAL.

293
01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:55.700
IT REQUIRES US TO INVESTIGATE MISCONDUCT EVEN IF AN EMPLOYEE RESIGNS OR RETIRES. WHEN AN EMPLOYEE RESIGNS OR RETIRES WHILE UNDER INVESTIGATION, THE INVESTIGATION IS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO PURSUE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT NOT COOPERATE. BUT THE LANGUAGE ADDED REQUIRES THOSE INVESTIGATIONS TO CONTINUE

294
01:23:55.700 --> 01:24:12.866
TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. IT ALSO CLARIFIES THAT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS TO THE DOE AND SUBMITTING AN AFFIDAVIT OF SEPARATION AS PER STATE STATUTE ARE DONE. AND IT DIRECTLY ALIGNS WITH THE STATE LAW AND THE AUDITOR GENERAL EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY

295
01:24:12.866 --> 01:24:29.733
REFERENCE. I ALSO WANT TO INCLUDE THAT THE ABSENCE OF POLICY LANGUAGE DID NOT ABSOLVE THE DISTRICT FROM COMPLYING WITH STATE LAW. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL DOE REQUIREMENTS AND WE'VE TIGHTENED UP OUR PROCESSES SO

296
01:24:29.733 --> 01:24:45.500
MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR. BUT CLEARLY OUTLINING THE REQUIREMENT FELT APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE TIMING OF US BRINGING THIS POLICY AND THE AUDITOR GENERAL'S RECOMMENDATION. REASSIGNMENT OR REMOVAL FROM THE WORKPLACE.

297
01:24:45.500 --> 01:25:02.766
THIS JUST CLARIFIES THE DISTRICT'S AUTHORITY TO REMOVE AN EMPLOYEE DURING AN INVESTIGATION. IT MAKES IT CLEAR WE MIGHT NEED TO FILL THAT TO MAINTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. SO SOMEONE IS REMOVED FROM THE JOB WE STILL HAVE A JOB TO DO THERE. SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A PROCESS

298
01:25:02.766 --> 01:25:20.800
ALLOWING US TO DO THAT AND IF THAT EMPLOYEE IS TO RETURN BACK TO WORK, WE HAVE WE FOLLOW OUR PROCESS OUTLINED IN THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS OR REGULAR HR PRACTICES ON RETURNING THEM TO A SUITABLE ROLE. NEXT ARE JUST TWO DEFINITIONS.

299
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:38.300
THEY ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY CLARIFY THE EXPECTATIONS THE LEGITIMATE EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND APPROPRIATE VISIBILITY. THEY HELP GUIDE STAFF BEHAVIOR AT THESE DEFINITIONS SUPPORT THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY PROVISIONS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER. NEXT IS AN ACKNOWLEDGE.

300
01:25:38.300 --> 01:25:54.466
FORM. THIS IS MORE OF AN OPERATIONAL UPDATE WE DON'T USE THIS FORM. WE HAVE THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THE CODE OF ETHICS IS SHARED WITH EMPLOYEES WHEN ALL NEW HIRES COME THROUGH THEY COMPLETE AN ONBOARDING ACTIVITY

301
01:25:54.466 --> 01:26:10.866
GUIDE. THERE IS A CODE OF ETHICS PAGE IN THAT. REFERENCING THE POLICY. AND ONCE HIRED THEY DO COMPLETE A MANDATORY COMPLIANCE ANNUAL TRAINING ALL EMPLOYEES DO THAT. IN ADDITION, WE'RE CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SENDING

302
01:26:10.866 --> 01:26:28.333
THINGS OUT FOR PRINCIPALS TO INCLUDE IN THEIR PRESENTATIONS TO THEIR FACULTY ON OUR EXPECTATIONS REGARDING THE CODE OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT. SO IT'S NOT REMOVING ANYTHING. IT IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE. OVERALL, FOR 3.02 THE UPDATES

303
01:26:28.333 --> 01:26:46.166
STRENGTHEN STUDENT PROTECTIONS AND PROVIDES EXPECTATIONS FOR STAFF AND ALIGN US WITH THE CURRENT LAW AND OUR PRACTICES IN PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. MOVING INTO OUR CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS.

304
01:26:46.166 --> 01:27:04.200
3.12, THIS POLICY FOCUSES HOW WE SCREEN EMPLOYEES BEFORE THEY ARE HIRED. >> Karen Brill: Mr. FERGUSON DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT POLICY FIRST OR LET THEM FINISH EVERYTHING? THANK YOU. >> 3.12, FOCUSES ON HOW WE

305
01:27:04.200 --> 01:27:31.766
SCREEN EMPLOYEES BEFORE THEY ARE HIRED AND ONGOING MONITORING OF EACH EMPLOYEES BACKGROUND CHECK.

306
01:27:31.766 --> 01:27:48.633
FOR FINGERPRINTING THIS REINFORCES THAT FINGERPRINT SOMETHING A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE DISTRICT IT UPDATES STATUTORY REFERENCES TO THE LAW WHERE SCREENINGS ARE MANAGED BY THE AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION. AND IT REMOVES AN OUTDATED PROCESS OF FINGERPRINTING BEING

307
01:27:48.633 --> 01:28:05.333
MANAGED BY SCHOOL POLICE. WE NOW USE FIELD PRINT TO MANAGE OUR FINGERPRINTING AND HAVE A SMALL STAFF WHO NOT ONLY MONITOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AND CHECK THEM WHEN THEY COME BACK BUT THEY CAN PERFORM BACKGROUND CHECKS AS WELL.

308
01:28:05.333 --> 01:28:21.533
NEXT IS APPLICATION DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THIS REMOVES AN OUTDATED PRACTICE TIED TO OLDER HIRING PROCESS WHERE IF SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE ON THE APPLICANT SECURITY CHECK FORM AND DIDN'T MISTAKE OR INTENTIONALLY

309
01:28:21.533 --> 01:28:39.033
WITHHELD AN ARREST ON THE FORM IT DISQUALIFIED THEM FROM BEING EMPLOYED WITH THE DISTRICT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WE STILL COLLECT THIS INFORMATION BUT TODAY EMPLOYEES CANNOT BEGIN WORKING UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY CLEARED THE BACKGROUND CHECKS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED. SO WE DON'T RELY ON THIS IN THE

310
01:28:39.033 --> 01:28:58.400
SAME MANNER WE ONCE DID. AND HERE THIS IS THE REMOVAL OF THE OUTDATED PROCEDURE. AT ONE POINT IS A VERY OUTDATED PROCESS WE ARE NOT DOING THIS UP UNTIL NOW BUT THERE WAS A PROCESS THAT ALLOWED PEOPLE TO BEGIN WORKING BEFORE THEIR BACKGROUND CHECK WAS RECEIVED.

311
01:28:58.400 --> 01:29:16.066
YOU RELIED ON THE APPLICANT SECURITY CHECK FORM HEAVILY AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED NOW THAT IS NOT THE CASE. YOU DO NOT START WORKING UNTIL YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK IS RECEIVED, REVIEWED, AND CLEARED BY HR OPERATIONS AND GIVEN AN

312
01:29:16.066 --> 01:29:33.300
AUTHORIZE TO WORK GIVEN BY E-MAIL TO HR. THIS CLARIFIES LANGUAGE ON GRANTING EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED BY STATE LAW. A LITTLE BIT CLARIFYING LANGUAGE. FOR SCREENING PROCESSES THIS

313
01:29:33.300 --> 01:29:49.500
ELIMINATES OUTDATED LANGUAGE RELATED TO CONDUCTING BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES. WE USE FIELD PRINTED IN ALL EMPLOYEES ARE SCREENED PER STATUTE IN THE NEW SYSTEM, THEY WILL BE RESCREENED EVERY FIVE YEARS AUTOMATICALLY AS WELL.

314
01:29:49.500 --> 01:30:05.766
THE AFFIDAVIT REPORTING AND RESCREENING THIS REMOVES AN ANNUAL AFFIDAVIT REQUIREMENT. THESE ARE REDUNDANT DUE TO THE MONITORING SYSTEMS WE HAVE IN PLACE IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT RELAXES OUR POLICY OR REDUCES

315
01:30:05.766 --> 01:30:22.733
OUR AWARENESS WE KNOW OF PRIOR CONVICTIONS AND WE'VE MADE DECISIONS ON THAT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. AND WE'RE PROMPTLY NOTIFIED IF THERE ARE NEW CRIMINAL CHARGES AND THAT USUALLY COMES WITHIN THE DAY. OF THEM BEING ARRESTED. EMPLOYEES ARE STILL REQUIRED TO SELF REPORT ARRESTS AND WE'LL

316
01:30:22.733 --> 01:30:39.433
GET TO THAT LATER. BUT IT ALSO CLARIFIES THAT EMPLOYEES RETURNING AFTER A BREAK MUST STILL MEET THE CURRENT SCREENING STANDARDS PER STATE STATUTE. FOR THAT POLICY, REALLY BROUGHT IT INTO ALIGNMENT WITH FLORIDA

317
01:30:39.433 --> 01:30:55.600
LAW AND OUR CURRENT PROCESSES AND ELIMINATED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUTDATED LANGUAGE. FOR SELF REPORTING AND ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS BY EMPLOYEES, POLICY 3.13, THIS GOVERNS HOW EMPLOYEES ARE TO SELF REPORT

318
01:30:55.600 --> 01:31:13.766
ARRESTS AND THE PROCESS COVERING EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ARRESTED. WE'RE FOCUSED ONSETTING CLEAR EXPECTATIONS FOR TIMELY REPORTING WE TRY TO MAKE IT CLEARER. AND STRENGTHENS OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY AND APPROPRIATELY TO CRIMINAL MATTERS. WE HAVE HAD A 48 HOUR SELF

319
01:31:13.766 --> 01:31:29.900
REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR AS LONG AS I KNOW. THAT STILL IN PLACE. BUT THE CONFUSION WAS THAT YOU HAVE TO SELF REPORT AT ARREST IF YOU ENTER A PROGRAM LIKE A PRETRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM AND

320
01:31:29.900 --> 01:31:46.033
WHEN THE CASE IS SETTLED IF YOU ARE CONVICTED YOU HAVE TO REPORT AT EACH ONE OF THOSE STAGES AND WE OFTEN HEAR THAT EMPLOYEES THOUGHT THEY WERE DONE WHEN THEY GAVE THE FIRST SELF REPORT AT THE TIME OF ARREST AND SO WE BROKE THOSE INTO THREE SECTIONS

321
01:31:46.033 --> 01:32:04.000
SO IT'S CLEAR WHAT IS EXPECTED. AND ITS ARE SPECIFIES WHAT INFORMATION MUST BE REPORTED AND THAT SOMEBODY ELSE CAN REPORT ON YOUR BEHALF IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO. FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS THIS CLARIFIES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRIMINAL AND NONCRIMINAL TRAFFIC

322
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:22.266
VIOLATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES WHO DRIVE DISTRICT VEHICLES OR A BUS. EXPANDING OUR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR EMPLOYEES WHO TRANSPORT STUDENTS. WE HAVE AN ONGOING MONITORING PROGRAM CALLED SUPERVISION AND THAT NOTIFIES US WHEN THE EMPLOYEES RECEIVE A TRAFFIC VIOLATION OR TICKET BUT WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN ADDED

323
01:32:22.266 --> 01:32:39.533
LAYER REQUIRING NOTIFICATION FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD IMPACT SAFETY. NOW, IN ALIGNMENT WITH STUDENT SAFETY AND IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUIRED WITH CURRENT LAW THAT STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR REGARDING EMPLOYEE ARRESTS NEW LANGUAGE HAS BEEN ADDED THAT

324
01:32:39.533 --> 01:32:55.466
REQUIRES THE REMOVAL FROM STUDENT CONTACT WITHIN 24 HOURS FOR CERTAIN OFFENSES. THESE WOULD FALL INTO THE DISQUALIFYING OFFENSES PER STATE STATUTE. THE LAW REQUIRES THAT PARENTS ARE ALSO NOTIFIED WITHIN 24 HOURS FOR STUDENTS THAT HAD

325
01:32:55.466 --> 01:33:13.033
CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AND WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS PROCESS CLEAR IN OUR POLICY. SO THE EMPLOYMENT STATUS ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ARE DEALING WITH EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ARRESTED FOR THESE OFFENSES. THIS CLARIFIES HOW WE'RE

326
01:33:13.033 --> 01:33:30.133
HANDLING THOSE EMPLOYEES. EMPLOYEES WHO ARE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE JOB BASED ON THE DISQUALIFYING ARREST ARE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED AND THEY CANNOT GO TO WORK UNTIL THAT IS CLEARED UP. PER STATUTE THEY CANNOT. SO THEY ARE REMOVED FROM THE JOB

327
01:33:30.133 --> 01:33:47.733
OUR PROCESS NOW INCLUDES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD FOR UNPAID SUSPENSION AND IN CASES WHERE A NO CONTACT ORDER IS ISSUED THEY MAYBE RECOMMENDED FOR TERMINATION AS WELL. CRIMINAL CASES CAN BE VERY LENGTHY. SO CONTINUING PAY AND OR EMPLOYMENT FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS

328
01:33:47.733 --> 01:34:04.866
WHO MAY NOT REPORT JUST MAY NOT ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REPORT TO WORK, IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ALTERNATIVE PLANS AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES THEY WERE PERFORMING. SO ON THAT ONE, REALLY

329
01:34:04.866 --> 01:34:21.666
STRENGTHENING OUR STUDENT PROTECTIONS, CLEAR EXPECTATIONS FOR SELF REPORTING, AND TIMELY RESPONSE TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY OUR EMPLOYEES. AND THE NEXT ONE I WILL GO REAL QUICK THROUGH THIS IT IS A REPEAL. THIS POLICY 3.44, THE NO CHILD

330
01:34:21.666 --> 01:34:37.400
LEFT BEHIND ACT, AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS THAT IS BEING REPEALED BECAUSE IT'S OUTDATED. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS ARE GOVERNED BY CURRENT STATE LAW IN OUR STATE SYSTEM.

331
01:34:37.400 --> 01:34:58.533
WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER FOR QUESTIONS. >> Karen Brill: Mr. FERGUSON? >> Edwin Ferguson: THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. Mr. KUBRICK, POLICY 3.02, PAGE 7 OF THE SLIDE THAT REFERENCES

332
01:34:58.533 --> 01:35:16.933
LINES 223-227 WHAT DOES USING MEAN IN REGARD TO EMPLOYEES USING DEEPFAKES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE? >> USING COULD BE SHARING IT. IT COULD BE SHOWING IT TO

333
01:35:16.933 --> 01:35:33.566
SOMEONE. >> Edwin Ferguson: SO I THINK IT WILL BE PRUDENT TO TIGHTEN UP THE DEFINITION AND SIMPLY POSSESSING THOSE THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. PARTICULARLY IF IT IS A PORNOGRAPHIC NATURE I SPOKE WITH YOU AA FEW DAYS AGO REGARDING

334
01:35:33.566 --> 01:35:50.133
SOMETHING I SAW ON THE NEWS WHERE AN ADULT USED A.I. GENERATED PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL TRYING TO COERCE A MINOR. IT HAPPENED IN A NEIGHBORING COUNTY BUT IT WASN'T FAR FOR ME TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT

335
01:35:50.133 --> 01:36:07.000
HAPPENING HERE. I WANT THERE TO BE A PUNISHMENT FOR POSSESSING THOSE THINGS AND WE SHOULD HAVE A CORRESPONDING STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT THEY CANNOT DISSEMINATE THIS GARBAGE EITHER. IF WE CAN WORK ON THAT IN

336
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:25.166
CLEARING UP WHAT IT MEANS TO USE AND HAVE THE CORRESPONDING POLICY FOR THE STUDENTS AS WELL THAT WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO BE BLACKMAILED THAT IS GENERATED BEING USED TO PUSH THEM INTO

337
01:36:25.166 --> 01:36:49.433
UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS. I WAS TRYING TO GET DOWN TO LINE 595.

338
01:36:49.433 --> 01:37:05.533
IF YOU HAVE A NO CONTACT ORDER ARE THE COURTS NORMALLY SAYING YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY CHILD IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? >> SO THE NO CONTACT ORDERS YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS IF YOU ARE ARRESTED FOR ONE OF THE

339
01:37:05.533 --> 01:37:22.833
OFFENSES THAT REQUIRES YOU TO BE REMOVED THEY ARE SERIOUS OFFENSES. IF YOU ARE ALSO THEN ISSUED A NO CONTACT ORDER FROM MOST OF THEM THAT WE'VE SEEN IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES A CHILD, CHILD ABUSE MAYBE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, COULD BE SOMETHING

340
01:37:22.833 --> 01:37:41.500
SEXUAL IN NATURE, SO THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS BUT THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT IT IS. TO GET THOSE. AND THEY SAY YOU CAN THEY COULD RANGE FROM NO CONTACT WITH ANYBODY UNDER 18. NO CONTACT WITH SCHOOL BOARD PROPERTY.

341
01:37:41.500 --> 01:37:57.800
OR SCHOOL BOARD EMPLOYEES. IT DEPENDS. ONCE IT GOES TO THE JUDGE, WE WAIT-AND-SEE WHAT THEY THE JUDGE'S ORDERS ARE. >> Edwin Ferguson: IF IT IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE NOT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH A SPECIFIC CHILD IT SEEPS LIKE THE PERSON

342
01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:15.366
COULD BE REASSIGNED SOMEWHERE AWAY FROM THE CHILD. OR EVEN IT SAYS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY CHILDREN ON DISTRICT PROPERTIES THEY CAN WORK ON THE BUS COMPOUNDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE THIRD THING I'M NOT FAMILIAR YOU SAID THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE THE COURT WILL SAY YOU ARE

343
01:38:15.366 --> 01:38:32.333
NOT TO BE ON DISTRICT PROPERTY? >> CORRECT. AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT REALLY RESULT IN SOMEONE JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO PERFORM THEIR JOB. WITH NO CONTACT WITH A DISTRICT EMPLOYEE THEY CAN'T TALK TO

344
01:38:32.333 --> 01:38:49.766
ANYBODY OR PROPERTY. >> Edwin Ferguson: THAT IS ALL I HAVE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING COME BEFORE US REGARDING STUDENTS BEING IN POSSESSION OF A.I. PARTICULARLY PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL. IT SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE. I THINK WE SHOULD GET IN FRONT OF IT AND QUELL THAT.

345
01:38:49.766 --> 01:39:07.600
I WOULD HATE FOR A CHILD TO END UP IN A BAD SITUATION BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE SOMETHING FALSE ABOUT HIM OR HER. I DON'T WANT IT IN THEIR POSSESSION. YOU CAN'T DISSEMINATE BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE COLLECT THESE

346
01:39:07.600 --> 01:39:23.333
THINGS. YOU CAN BE IN POSSESSION OF PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL AND NOT NECESSARILY SHARE IT WITH ATTORNEY LANE OR BOARD MEMBER ANDREWS AND IF WE FIND THAT INFORMATION OUT JUST HYPOTHETICAL. [LAUGHTER]

347
01:39:23.333 --> 01:39:40.733
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DISSEMINATE JUST THE ACT OF POSSESSING IT SHOULD BE SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING ALL WE CAN TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS I WAS UPSET I WILL NOT SPEAK ABOUT COUNTY BUT THE COUNTY NORTH OF US I WAS UPSET

348
01:39:40.733 --> 01:39:58.900
TO HEAR THIS PERVERT GENERATE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS YOUNG WOMAN. AND LUCKILY IT WAS CAUGHT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING ALL WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THESE PREDATORS ARE NOT TRYING TO EXPLOIT OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN AS WELL.

349
01:39:58.900 --> 01:40:16.133
>> Karen Brill: Mr. >> Matthew Lane: LANE POLICY 3.02 CODE OF ETHICS AND LINE 15-150. UNAUTHORIZED GIFTS AND PRIVILEGES. PROVIDING GIFTS, MONEY OR SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO A STUDENT WITHOUT PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL. AND THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO

350
01:40:16.133 --> 01:40:34.500
ALL STUDENTS OR PART OF RECOGNIZED SCHOOL REWARD SYSTEM. THIS PROHIBITION INCLUDES THE USE OF PERSONAL FUNDS OR RESOURCES TO PROVIDE ITEMS OF VALUE. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS WHAT IF A STUDENT'S IMPOVERISHED AND A TEACHER PROVIDES THEM WITH FOOD

351
01:40:34.500 --> 01:40:52.100
OR PROVIDES THEM WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES? IT CONCERNS ME THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN IF THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THAT? >> I UNDERSTAND. REALLY THIS IS REFERRING TO THINGS LIKE I AM GOING TO TAKE YOU SHOPPING ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

352
01:40:52.100 --> 01:41:10.966
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WASN'T INTENDED TO PREVENT SOMEBODY FROM GIVING A KID A PENCIL OR A BOOK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE CAN LOOK AT WAYS TO MAYBE INCLUDE INCORPORATE THAT TO THE

353
01:41:10.966 --> 01:41:27.700
POLICY. BUT ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN MAKING YOUR ADMINISTRATION AWARE OF IT IS PROBABLY YOUR FIRST STEP. MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING ON DOING THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT OPS IS GOING TO LOOK INTO

354
01:41:27.700 --> 01:41:44.266
SOMEBODY GIVING SOMEBODY A BOOK OR A NOTEBOOK. BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN. >> IT'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT. LINE 630, IT SAYS THE WRITING OF LETTERS, OF FILING OF DOCUMENTS IT SHOULD BE THE WRITING OF

355
01:41:44.266 --> 01:42:03.966
LETTERS OR FILING OF DOCUMENTS. CHANGE THE OF TO AN OR ON 630. >> 630.

356
01:42:03.966 --> 01:42:21.800
>> WHAT PAGE NUMBER? LINE 630. >> OKAY I SEE IT.

357
01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:40.033
>> Matthew Lane: I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER. >> Karen Brill: MS. WHITFIELD. >> Erica Whitfield: A HUGE THANK YOU FOR TACKLING THIS PIECE ON BOUNDARIES. I THINK IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT I PERSONALLY TALKED TO Mr. KUBRICK A LOT WHEN WE HAVE THE

358
01:42:40.033 --> 01:42:56.133
INCIDENTS THAT ARE HORRIBLE HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED. I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT OUR TEAM HERE DECIDED TO TRY TO TACKLE THAT THROUGH THE POLICY. BUT ONE THING I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE ARE SETTING

359
01:42:56.133 --> 01:43:13.000
THE THOUGHTS AROUND PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES AND ANY POLICY WE PUT FORWARD THIS HAS TO GO TO THE PRINCIPALS SO IT BECOMES A CULTURAL NORM. PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT CALLING OUT THEIR FELLOW TEACHERS OR BEING SUSPICIOUS OF

360
01:43:13.000 --> 01:43:30.466
SOMEONE THEY SEE BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY IMPORTANT WITHIN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT IT BECOME STANDARD PRACTICE THAT IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT IS SUSPICIOUS THAT YOU BRING IT UP TO SOMEONE AND THEN THAT PERSON TRULY ADDRESSES IT AND MAKES SURE HAB NOT EVERYTHING IS NEFARIOUS BUT

361
01:43:30.466 --> 01:43:47.733
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTING OUR KIDS. I APPRECIATE THIS BEING IN AND I HOPE WE MAKE A EFFORT TO GET THIS OUT TO THE PRINCIPALS TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND WE'VE CREATED THIS POLICY IT IS NOT ON THEM IT'S ON US.

362
01:43:47.733 --> 01:44:03.500
WE TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY HERE. SO THAT WE PROTECT OUR KIDS AS THE UTMOST CONCERN. >> THANK YOU. AND TO FOLLOW-UP ON THAT AT THE APRIL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT A PRESENTATION WAS SHARED THAT THEY WERE ASKED TO BRING THAT

363
01:44:03.500 --> 01:44:20.500
BACK TO THE FACULTY ALL FACULTY AND SHARE IT. AND IT ADDRESSED EXACTLY THAT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING AND THOSE OTHER PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES. >> Karen Brill: MS. SAVIETTO. >> Virginia Savietto: VERY GOOD.

364
01:44:20.500 --> 01:44:38.233
I LIKE SLIDE NUMBER 5. I THINK IT'S GREAT. I DON'T KNOW IF ADDING GIFT CARDS COULD BE A PART OF IT. AND I AGREE WITH Mr. LANE,

365
01:44:38.233 --> 01:44:53.433
IMAGINE I AM A TEACHER AND I HAVE A GIFT CARD FOR [INAUDIBLE] AND ONE OF MY STUDENTS COULD USE IT MAYBE MY PRINCIPAL IS NOT THERE. COULD I GIVE IT TO THE STUDENT? AND THEN REPORT IT TOMORROW AND SAY, HEY, BY THE WAY I DID THIS.

366
01:44:53.433 --> 01:45:10.600
WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE -- SO TEACHERS ARE NOT AFRAID OF DOING GOOD BECAUSE OF THIS. BUT I LIKE THIS LIST. AND TRIPS SHOPPING THAT IS GREAT. FLOWERS ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS

367
01:45:10.600 --> 01:45:28.600
THAT YOU MAY NOT THINK. AND I LIKE THE LIST. AND I WAS WONDERING IF A LIST SLIDE NUMBER 5 COULD BE PUT IN A WAY WHERE WE CAN GIVE IT TO STUDENTS IN A WAY THAT IF ONE OF YOUR TEACHERS IS DOING THIS IT'S

368
01:45:28.600 --> 01:45:45.633
NOT GOOD. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR 11, 12, 13, 14 YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT IS PROPER OR NOT PROPER. MAYBE WE COULD DO THE OPPOSITE. FOR THE STUDENTS. MAYBE THAT IS NOT YOUR DEPARTMENT BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD SLIDE. TO SHOW OUR STUDENTS ALSO.

369
01:45:45.633 --> 01:46:04.066
BECAUSE MAYBE IF I'M THE STUDENT RECEIVING THE FLOWERS I WOULD BE FLATTERED AND I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING BUT MY FRIEND GO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS PERSON GAVE YOU FLOWERS SO THAT PERSON IS AWARE? SO I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE START OF SOMETHING. AND SLIDE NUMBER 7, DO WE HAVE

370
01:46:04.066 --> 01:46:18.633
ANYTHING ABOUT FALSE PROFILES? BEFORE A.I. WE HAD SOCIAL MEDIA. SO YOU CAN CREATE FALSE STEAL YOUR PHOTO AND I CREATE A FACEBOOK PAGE. AND THEN I SAY THINGS DO WE HAVE

371
01:46:18.633 --> 01:46:38.766
ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA? SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MISREPRESENTATION OR FALSIFICATION. >> WE DO HAVE A CLARIFYING STATEMENT BEHIND THAT WHERE IT SAYS THAT IF THEY CREATE ANY

372
01:46:38.766 --> 01:46:56.933
FALSE ALTERING OR OTHER MATERIALLY FALSE MISLEADING DIGITAL CONTENT WE USED DIGITAL TO INCLUDE FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM. >> DIGITAL CONTENT IS SEEN AS CONTENT AND NOT AS THE MEDIUM. THE CONTENT IN A MEDIUM IS

373
01:46:56.933 --> 01:47:12.166
DIFFERENT. WHETHER IT IS THE MEDIUM OF FACEBOOK, TIKTOK, THEY PROFILE AND THE CONTENT THAT GOES INSIDE THE PROFILE I'M SAYING THOSE TWO WORDS COULD BE. >> FROM OUR POSITION WE WOULD

374
01:47:12.166 --> 01:47:29.133
SAY THAT THAT WOULD QUALIFY UNDER THIS. >> OKAY. GOOD. PERFECT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. PRIL BRILL MS. ANDREWS. >> Marcia Andrews: THIS IS A CLEAN UP IT'S GOOD STUFF IT'S TIGHTENED AND IT CREATES A BETTER EMPLOYMENT PROCESS AND

375
01:47:29.133 --> 01:47:47.366
BACK ON-LINES 13-17 WITH THE FINGERPRINTING AS WELL AS BEING FULLY CLEARED. I MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE BEGINNING TO WORK. BEFORE THEY ARE ACTUALLY FULLY CLEARED. AND THE CONCERN WAS OVERWHELMING.

376
01:47:47.366 --> 01:48:04.200
I'M SURE IT WAS UNTIL YOU CHANGED THIS LANGUAGE HERE THAT THIS REALLY HELPS TO MOVE THE PROCESS AND PEOPLE THINK THEY HAVE BEEN HIRED BECAUSE A PRINCIPAL OFFERED THEM A JOB. AND THEY'VE STARTED THE PROCESS. AND YOU KNOW THEN THEY REALLY DO GO THROUGH AND GET HIRED AND WE

377
01:48:04.200 --> 01:48:21.500
DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK. NO ONE'S HIRED UNTIL EVERYTHING IS IN THAT IS A BIG DEAL. I LOVE WE HAVE THE FINGERPRINTING THAT IS BEING DONE ALL OVER THE COUNTY NOW THAT IS A GOOD THING. I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I HAD TO BE REFINGERPRINTED AND THE LITTLE

378
01:48:21.500 --> 01:48:38.933
PLACE WHERE I WENT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS IN THAT SHOPPING MALL. AND IT'S QUICK AND EASY. AND WE ARE ALL BEING FINGERPRINTED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OUR CHILDREN IN OUR STATE AND FOR THE GLADES REGIONS AND THOSE AREAS THAT ARE FAR AWAY FROM THIS BUILDING IT

379
01:48:38.933 --> 01:48:56.133
REALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TRAVEL HERE TO GET FINGERPRINTED AND IT WAS ALWAYS SOME PROBLEM. NOW THEY CAN BE FINGERPRINTED EVERYWHERE. THIS TIGHTENING OF THE POLICY IS GREAT. THANK YOU. >> Karen Brill: Mr. FERGUSON.

380
01:48:56.133 --> 01:49:14.866
>> Edwin Ferguson: THANK YOU. THERE WAS AN EXPULSION ON FILE THAT I REVIEWED WHERE THE STUDENT A.I. CAUGHT SOME INAPPROPRIATE COMMUNICATION MADE BY THE STUDENT. SO I'M WONDERING, DO ALL OF OUR

381
01:49:14.866 --> 01:49:30.633
DISTRICT PROPERTY SO WHETHER IT'S BY THE EMPLOYEE OR STUDENT IS THERE AN A.I. TRACKING FEATURE THAT CAN PUT A BULLET ON THAT LAST COMMENT I WAS MAKING IS THERE AN ABILITY FOR A.I. TO CATCH THOSE DEEPFAKES AND ALERT US TO IT SO IF YOU ARE IN

382
01:49:30.633 --> 01:49:46.800
POSSESSION OF IT YOU CAN BE TERMINATED, SUSPENDED. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BUT DO WE HAVE THAT CAPABILITY BECAUSE OF A.I.? >> IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITY. I WAS AT PALM BEACH CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ON ANOTHER ISSUE AND THAT

383
01:49:46.800 --> 01:50:04.333
CAME UP AND THE STUDENT WAS BEING DISCIPLINED FOR THAT. BECAUSE THEY FOUND IT ON DEEPFAKE. >> OKAY. VERY GOOD. LET'S DEFINITELY MAKE THAT AN OFFENSE IF YOU ARE EVEN IN POSSESSION YOU DON'T HAVE TO

384
01:50:04.333 --> 01:50:20.200
DISSEMINATE IT JUST BEING IN POSSESSION HOWEVER YOU GOT IT. I WAS THINKING -- >> I WANT TO CHECK INTO YOUR QUESTION DEEPER. WE HAVE A PRODUCT THAT HELPS US CHECK STUDENTS THAT THEY ARE USING OUR NETWORK, OUR GOOGLE

385
01:50:20.200 --> 01:50:38.533
DOCKS AND STUFF WE CAN PICK UP ON THREATS OR SELF HARM I NEED TO DO DIGGING IF IT WOULD CAPTURE AN IMAGE GENERATED THROUGH A.I. WE'LL CHECK INTO IT. >> Edwin Ferguson: WHEN I WAS SPEAKING TO Dr. MORGAN ABOUT IT, IF SOMEONE WERE TO SEND IT

386
01:50:38.533 --> 01:50:56.133
TO YOU AND ARE YOU NOT PERMITTED TO POSSESS PARTICULARLY FOR A STUDENT I'M THINKING THERE SHOULD BE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME-FRAME YOU NEED TO SELF REPORT IF YOU DON'T SELF REPORT I'M PRESUMING YOU ARE INTENDING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. THAT MIGHT BE A RABBIT HOLE AND WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE

387
01:50:56.133 --> 01:51:11.900
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BUT THERE'S OVERLAP. WHAT IF SOMEBODY I WON'T USE ANYBODY UP HERE BUT JOHN DOE SENDS AN INAPPROPRIATE JUM INDICATION TO JANE DOE. SHE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN

388
01:51:11.900 --> 01:51:29.300
POSSESSION OF THESE DEEPFAKES DO WE PUNISH HER BECAUSE JOHN SENT IT TO HER OR PUNISH HER THAT SHE HELD ON TO IT? I THINK WE SHOULD GET INTO THAT GRAY AREA TO LET THEM KNOW PROVIDE REASONABLE NOTICE WITHIN

389
01:51:29.300 --> 01:51:46.700
A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME OTHERWISE YOU ARE PRESUMED FROM WANTING TO BENEFIT FROM IT. >> THAT GETS TO OUR HESITATION PUTTING THAT WORD IN THERE. THERE WAS HESITATION ON POSSESS TO GO HOW YOU GOT IT IS IN

390
01:51:46.700 --> 01:52:03.933
QUESTION THERE. >> Edwin Ferguson: THEY SHOULD SELF REPORT IT THEN. BUT WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. THANK YOU. >> Karen Brill: THERE'S NO MORE COMMENTS. SO WE WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT PRESENTERS. >> Mike Burke: THAT WILL TAKE US

391
01:52:03.933 --> 01:52:10.266
TO POLICY 2.06, SCHOOL VISITATION WILL TAKE US THROUGH

392
01:52:10.266 --> 01:52:39.700
THIS ONE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON SINCE WE ARE

393
01:52:39.700 --> 01:52:56.433
DOING KIND OF MOP UP DUTY ON WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE QUICK, I HOPE. IT IS AN UPDATE ON THE SCHOOL VISITATION POLICY 2.06. MOST OF IT IS BASED ON JUST CLARIFICATION AND A COUPLE ADDITIONS OF DEFINITIONS THAT

394
01:52:56.433 --> 01:53:13.300
ARE BASED ON STATUTE AND RULES. DEPUTY CHIEF SNOW DID THE WORK ON THIS SO SHE IS ALSO GOING TO DO THE PRESENTATION WHERE WE ARE AT WITH IT RIGHT NOW. I WILL TURN IT OVER. >> THANK YOU CHIEF. GOOD AFTERNOON BOARD. AS CHIEF MOONEY MENTIONED THIS

395
01:53:13.300 --> 01:53:30.666
IS I BELIEVE THE LAST OF OUR SCHOOL POLICE POLICIES THAT IS NEEDING A MAJOR FACELIFT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS AND WE ALSO WANT TO THANK Dr. SNYDER WHO FACILITATED COORDINATING THE RESPONSES FROM OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND

396
01:53:30.666 --> 01:53:48.066
COLLABORATING WITH THEM TO GET US TO THIS POINT. AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PROPOSED REVISIONS FOR POLICY 2.06, WE GET TO WHERE WE HAVE REALLY STREAMLINED MUCH OF THE VERBIAGE WE FOUND IN THE POLICY THAT WAS

397
01:53:48.066 --> 01:54:05.266
LAST TOUCHED IN 2009. SO IN THIS DRAFT WE HAVE DEFINED WHAT A VISITOR IS ESSENTIALLY SOMEBODY WHO IS NOT EMPLOYED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. WE TALK ABOUT THE STEPS REQUIRED FOR ENTRY INCLUDING GOING THROUGH THE SINGLE POINT OF

398
01:54:05.266 --> 01:54:21.900
ENTRY AND BEING VETTED THROUGH THE DISTRICT'S VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH MANY OF US KNOW AS RAPTOR. WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE PERSONS THAT ARE EXEMPT BY STATUTE BASED ON THEIR ROLES FROM BEING RUN THROUGH THE VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

399
01:54:21.900 --> 01:54:38.966
SUCH AS THOSE WHO ARE EMPLOYED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THOSE WHO WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WE HAVE SOME AND THOSE WHO ARE ALSO SCREENED AS DISTRICT VENDORS. THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT NEED TO BE RUN

400
01:54:38.966 --> 01:54:57.466
THROUGH THE VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. WE ALSO GIVE TO THE PRINCIPALS THE OBVIOUS AUTHORITY TO REVOKE A VISITOR'S ACCESS TO A CAMPUS. AND THEN WE INCLUDE IF A VISITOR HAS CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEIR VISITATION WAS REVOKED

401
01:54:57.466 --> 01:55:13.333
OR LIMITED, GIVE THEM THE STEPS TO FOLLOW SUCH AS SPEAKING WITH THE PRINCIPAL SUPERVISOR OR THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT WHO IS IN THAT DECISION MAKING CHAIN. AND INCORPORATED IN PAGE ONE IS SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT WE

402
01:55:13.333 --> 01:55:33.533
REMOVED FROM LINES 68-80 BECAUSE IT WAS REPETITIVE. AND THEN WE ADDED THE POLICY 2.59, WHICH ADDRESSES POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON A SCHOOL BOARD PROPERTY. AND WE DELETED CONTENT IN LINES

403
01:55:33.533 --> 01:55:48.533
83-97, WHICH WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN POLICIES 2.59 AND 7.18 DEALING WITH THE COMMUNITY OF DISTRICT FACILITIES SUCH AS THE USE OF OUR CAMPUSES BY THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS. WE REMOVED THE CONTENT SO AS TO

404
01:55:48.533 --> 01:56:06.766
NOT HAVE CONFLICTS IN POLICY. WITH THAT, IT LEADS US TO OUR APPEARANCE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY AND TO TAKE YOUR COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK SO WE ARE READY FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT ON MAY 27.

405
01:56:06.766 --> 01:56:24.066
AND FOR ADOPTION ON JULY 15TH. AND I NOW TURN IT OVER IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. >> Karen Brill: Mr. FERGUSON. >> Edwin Ferguson: THANK YOU. DOES POLICY 2.06 ALLOW FOR PARENTS AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO COME AT DESIGNATED TIMES BY THE

406
01:56:24.066 --> 01:56:41.300
THE PRINCIPAL TO ATTEND LUNCH WITH THEIR CHILDREN? >> THE POLICY ADDRESSES PARENTS AND GUARDIANS NOT CREATING AN INTERFERENCE ON A SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY ON THE CAMPUSES. IT DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS

407
01:56:41.300 --> 01:56:58.933
COMING IN AND JOINING YOUR STUDENT FOR LUNCH. NO. >> Edwin Ferguson: SUPERINTENDET BURKE, I REMEMBER AFTER COVID, PARENTS GREATER ACCESS TO THE SCHOOLS BEFORE COVID AND THEN AFTER COVID, AT LEAST THIS IS MY PERCEPTION THEY HAVE NOT BEEN

408
01:56:58.933 --> 01:57:15.000
ALLOWED BACK ON CAMPUS. I'M WONDERING WITH REGARDS TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IF WE COULD CONSIDER ALLOWING OR LETTING THE PRINCIPALS KNOW IT'S OKAY ON CERTAIN DAYS TO HAVE PARENTS COME IN TO SPEND TIME WITH THEIR KIDS. AS A FATHER OF AN

409
01:57:15.000 --> 01:57:32.500
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD, I COULD SEE HOW THAT THERE ARE PARENTS WHO WOULD TAKE US UP ON THE OFFER IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE GOING INTO THE CLASSROOM BUT THE DESIGNATED FOR THE LUNCH WINDOW AND THEN THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY. THAT MAYBE A WAY FOR US TO HELP INCREASE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH

410
01:57:32.500 --> 01:57:49.600
THE COMMUNITY AS WELL BY WELCOMING THEM BACK IN FOR SOMETHING THAT IS HARMLESS AS LUNCH. >> Mike Burke: I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT IS HARMLESS BUT I'M CONCERNED HOW THAT MIGHT PLAY OUT ON OUR CAMPUSES THE STUDENTS

411
01:57:49.600 --> 01:58:07.866
HAVE UNLIMITED WINDOW OF TIME FOR LUNCH AND THE CAPACITY THE SEATING I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE IF A LOT OF PARENTS WANT TO TAKE US UP ON THAT OPPORTUNITY IT COULD BECOME CHALLENGING. CLEARING ALL THE PARENTS THROUGH THE FRONT OFFICE I RECALL IN

412
01:58:07.866 --> 01:58:24.433
COVID ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS LIKE WITH THE KINDERGARTENERS PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO WALK THEIR KIDS TO CLASS AND WE HAD TO REIN THAT IN BECAUSE IT WAS DISRUPTIVE. I PREFER TO ENCOURAGE THE PARENTS TO ENTRUST US WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND LET US DO OUR JOB

413
01:58:24.433 --> 01:58:42.433
AND BRING THE FAMILIES IN ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS, MUFFINS FOR MOM OR DOUGHNUTS FOR DAD OUR PTA'S THEY WILL HOST THOSE EVENTS PERIODICALLY BUT IT'S NOT ON ANY GIVEN THEY WE DO NOT HAVE PARENTS COMING IN.

414
01:58:42.433 --> 01:58:59.366
>> Edwin Ferguson: I KNOW WE DON'T. I DON'T THINK I WAS CLEAR YOU WOULD HAVE A DESIGNATED DAY OF PARENTS FOR FIRST GRADERS COME IN FOR LUNCH IT IS NOT AS IF YOU WOULD HAVE THE PARENTS OF ALL K-5 ON A GIVEN DAY.

415
01:58:59.366 --> 01:59:15.833
KINDERGARTEN MIGHT BE ON MONDAY. FIRST GRADE ON TUESDAY. THAT IS WHAT I'M GETTING AT. IT STAYS HARM UNLESS THAT REGARD I WOULD LIKE US TO DO IT AGAIN ONLY IN ELEMENTARY AND WHO WOULD WANT TO SIT WITH THEIR PARENT AT

416
01:59:15.833 --> 01:59:33.600
LUNCH IN MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL YOU WOULD BE A LOSER. THE ELEMENTARY AGE IT IS A SMALL THING BUT SOMETIMES THEY SAY THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT. SUBJECT TO CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO THINK ABOUT IT AND CONSIDER IT MOVING FORWARD.

417
01:59:33.600 --> 01:59:50.966
>> Mike Burke: I WILL GIVE IT THOUGHT AND CHECK WITH THE TEAM AND THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND SEE HOW WE CAN NUANCE THAT OR NOT. >> Karen Brill: MS. BRAN. >> THE VENDORS ARE NOT RUN THROUGH THE RAPTOR SYSTEM.

418
01:59:50.966 --> 02:00:06.300
>> THEY ARE PRESCREENED. >> MY CONCERN IS HOW DO WE KNOW HOW OFTEN THE VENDORS DO THEIR BACKGROUND CHECK AND STUFF? >> I BELIEVE WITH THE LEVEL TWO THEIR BACKGROUNDS ARE HELD THROUGH OUR HR AND IF THERE IS

419
02:00:06.300 --> 02:00:23.800
AN ARREST OUR HR WOULD BE NOTIFIED. MEANING THAT THAT COULD RESCIND THEIR ACCESS TO A CAMPUS. >> Gloria Branch: OKAY. >> WE DIDN'T PULL THIS LIST THIS IS A LIST IN STATUTE OF

420
02:00:23.800 --> 02:00:40.233
CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE WE ARE NOT PERMITTED THE LEGISLATURE HAS STATED WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SCREENING ON. THAT'S WHERE WE GOT THIS LIST FROM. >> Gloria Branch: I'M FOR SCREENING ALL BUT I UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU.

421
02:00:40.233 --> 02:00:56.766
>> Karen Brill: MS. WHITFIELD. >> Erica Whitfield: SIMILAR TO Mr. FERGUSON I AM PRETTY FIRED UP ABOUT ENGAGING OUR PARENTS AND OUR SCHOOLS. I THINK THE WAY TO DO THAT AND I THINK EVERYTHING IN HERE IS VERY GOOD AND VERY CLEAR. I THINK THE WAY WE DO IT IS BY OFFERING VOLUNTEERING

422
02:00:56.766 --> 02:01:14.433
OPPORTUNITIES THAT IS MORE STRUCTURED WAY FOR THEM TO BE ENGAGED WITH THE SCHOOL. AND SO THAT HAPPENS I KNOW AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL YOU CAN VOLUNTEER FOR LUNCH DUTY I FIND IT TO BE THE HARDEST HALF HOUR OF MY DAY IF I DO THAT. EVERY KID WANTS SOMETHING OPENED

423
02:01:14.433 --> 02:01:32.000
AT THE SAME TIME. AND THEN THEY SPILL IT. SO I THINK IT IS A WAY FOR US TO ENGAGE BUT I DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE IN THIS MOMENT TWO THINGS:  ONE, A VISIT A LOT OF SCHOOLS AND I WILL SAY THERE IS

424
02:01:32.000 --> 02:01:48.133
A VARYING DEGREE OF KINDNESS WHEN YOU GET TO A SCHOOL AND IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO A PERSON COMING IN WHETHER THEY THINK THAT IS A NICE SCHOOL OR NOT. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE KIND SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT USED TO THE PROCEDURES WE PUT TOGETHER IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THEY WENT TO SCHOOL.

425
02:01:48.133 --> 02:02:04.400
BEING KIND TO PEOPLE. BUT ALSO FOR THE PRINCIPALS TO PLEASE TRY TO FIND WAYS TO WORK WITH YOUR FAMILIES SO THAT THEY FEEL WELCOME IN YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A BIG PART OF THE COMPETITION THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

426
02:02:04.400 --> 02:02:21.033
WHEN YOU GO TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL OR I ASMALLER SCHOOL SOMETIMES THEY WILL LET YOU FEEL MORE ENGAGED. FINDING CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS TO GET PARENTS ENGAGED IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN WORK AROUND MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE STILL CAN BE

427
02:02:21.033 --> 02:02:38.166
THERE WITHOUT JUST RANDOMLY STANDING THERE AND DOING NOTHING. THANK YOU. >> Karen Brill: MS. SAVIETTO? >> Virginia Savietto: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT VISITORS. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE AGENCIES YOU KNOW WITH IMMIGRATION AND I.C.E. AND ALL THAT HAPPENING FOR THE PAST

428
02:02:38.166 --> 02:02:56.200
YEAR-AND-A-HALF? I KNOW WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY CASES BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE IT IN WRITING ABOUT I.C.E. COMING IN JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN. MAYBE THEY CANNOT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? WE KNOW WE WORKED REALLY HARD BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT IS

429
02:02:56.200 --> 02:03:16.066
IN WRITING. >> Mike Burke: WE HAVE WE WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT WE'VE MADE IT CLEAR TO OUR PRINCIPALS IF ANYONE IS COMING FROM HOMELAND SECURITY OR I.C.E. THAT THEY NEED TO FIRST CONTACT SCHOOL POLICE, CONTACT OUR

430
02:03:16.066 --> 02:03:32.333
OFFICE COUNSEL AND THEY WOULD NOT SEE ANY STUDENT WITHOUT A VALID WARRANT. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS A STATEMENT IN THE POLICY THAT SAYS I DON'T THINK WE CAN PUT A PROHIBITION. >> Virginia Savietto: WE CAN PUT WHATEVER YOU SAID IN WRITING, NO?

431
02:03:32.333 --> 02:03:48.433
IN A POLICY THAT I MEAN WHAT YOU JUST SAID. THE POSITIVE SIDE NOT THE NEGATIVE SIDE WE ARE NOT PROHIBITING BUT THE PROCEDURE PART OF IT. LIKE DEFINING A VISITOR AND

432
02:03:48.433 --> 02:04:05.300
DEFINING WHO IS NOT A VISITOR. I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE. >> Mike Burke: THIS IS TO WORKSHOP. I CAN GO BACK TO THE TEAM HERE WITH THE GENERAL WORK WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN COME UP WITH.

433
02:04:05.300 --> 02:04:22.100
RIGHT NOW I'M NOT SURE HOW WE WOULD TACKLE THAT. >> Karen Brill: I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE WORKSHOP. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY THAT

434
02:04:22.100 --> 02:04:40.933
WILL BRING US TO OUR SPECIAL MEETING. I WILL GIVE EVERYBODY A MINUTE TO OPEN IT UP AND SO I WILL NOW CALL THE SPECIAL MEETING TO ORDER. AT 4:31PM AND THE RECORD SHOULD REFLECT WE HAVE SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT.

435
02:04:40.933 --> 02:04:58.200
BOARD MEMBERS WE HAVE THREE SETS OF MINUTES. THEY ARE NUMBERED AS HAVING FOUR. BUT I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES. MOTION BY MS. BRANCH AND SECONDED BY MS. WHITFIELD. ANY DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

436
02:04:58.200 --> 02:05:15.466
I DO NOT HAVE ITEMS TO ADD. Mr. SUPERINTENDENT DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO WITHDRAW. >> Mike Burke: NO. >> Karen Brill: BOARD MEMBERS DO YOU HAVE ITEMS TO. >> AS WILL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED. ANY DISCUSSION.

437
02:05:15.466 --> 02:05:32.266
ALL IN FAVOR. ALL OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. DO WE HAVE DISCLOSURES AND ABSTENTIONS? SEEING NONE. Mr. SUPERINTENDENT THAT BRINGS US TO SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. >> Mike Burke: NO COMMENTS FOR ME TODAY. >> Karen Brill: WE WILL START

438
02:05:32.266 --> 02:05:51.366
WITH MS. SAVIETTO. >> Virginia Savietto: I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO BALK MIDDLE SCHOOL OF THE ART THE PRODUCTION OF HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD WAS TRULY ON ANOTHER LEVEL

439
02:05:51.366 --> 02:06:07.533
THERE WERE MOMENTS I FORGOT I WAS WATCHING MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS THE ACCENTS WERE THAT GOOD. IT'S THE SCHOOL IS RECOGNIZED NATIONWIDE. THANK YOU TO SUSIE FOR THE INVITATION AND THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT SHE DOES FOR LEADING

440
02:06:07.533 --> 02:06:25.300
THE BALK FOUNDATION I'M PROUD OF THE STUDENTS AND EVERYONE BEHIND THE SCENES WHO MADE THAT COME TO LIFE. I VISITED WESTGATE ELEMENTARY AND I HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH PRINCIPAL WE TALKED ABOUT THE REAL WORK HAPPENING ON CAMPUS SUPPORTING STUDENTS,

441
02:06:25.300 --> 02:06:44.100
STAYING CONNECTED WITH FAMILIES AND MAKING SURE EVERY CHILD ISET UP FOR SUCCESS THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AT THE SCHOOL AND YOU CAN FEEL THE CARE THE MOMENT YOU WALK IN FROM THE CLASSROOM TO FRONT OFFICE. I WAS ALSO GREAT TO SEE MY BOY WHO WE SEE NEXT TO ME FROM THE

442
02:06:44.100 --> 02:07:01.033
WESTGATE CRA SHE STOPPED BY THIS YOUNG CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD STANDS OUT. WHEN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS STAY CLOSED OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FEEL THAT SUPPORT. SO I WANT TO CLOSE WITH SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL FROM A

443
02:07:01.033 --> 02:07:18.866
RECENT THANK A TEACHER EVENT. MS. HERNANDEZ AT WYNNEBROOK ELEMENTARY I MET HER LAST YEAR DURING MY VISIT TO THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL NORTH MADE SURE WE STOPPED BY THE CLASSROOM WHEN SHE WAS TEACHING I WOULD HAVE

444
02:07:18.866 --> 02:07:36.033
STAYED THERE ALL DAY SHE IS FULL OF ENERGY THAT IS CONTAGIOUS IF ANYBODY NEEDS THAT GO VISIT HER SHE WILL GIVE YOU SOME OF HER ENERGY. WHEN WE SURPRISED HER IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT. HER FATHER WAS AN EDUCATOR AND HAD PASSED AWAY.

445
02:07:36.033 --> 02:07:53.466
I COULD FEEL HOW MUCH THIS MOMENT MEANT FOR HER. NOT JUST FOR HER BUT FOR EVERYONE AROUND HER. I WILL SHARE A VIDEO BECAUSE I HONESTLY I COULDN'T FULLY PUT IN WORDS WHO SHE IS. IF THEY CAN ROLL THE VIDEO.

446
02:07:53.466 --> 02:08:11.133
>> BEING A TEACHER IS THE MOST REWARDING CAREER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. YOU GO HOME AND YOUR HEART IS FILLED WITH JOY. YOU ARE THIS WEEK'S THANK A TEACHER. [CHEERING] EVERY SINGLE DAY, SHE

447
02:08:11.133 --> 02:08:29.300
TEACHES AN INNOVATIVE WAYS AND THROUGH MODALITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF HER STUDENTS REACH THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL. >> Virginia Savietto: WE'LL ALL CRYING. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING TEACHERS ON SUPPORTING OUR EDUCATORS IN SUCH A MEANINGFUL

448
02:08:29.300 --> 02:08:45.400
WAY. GRACIAS. >> Karen Brill: MS. WHITFIELD.

449
02:08:45.400 --> 02:09:01.900
>> Erica Whitfield: I HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING THAT I SKIPPED. FIRST I WANT TO SAY THAT TODAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF GOING TO THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR WORTHINGTON'S NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT IS A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT I THINK IS OF GREAT BENEFIT TO

450
02:09:01.900 --> 02:09:19.533
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS THEY CAN HELP CHILDREN GET THROUGH SCHOOLING IN A WAY THAT REALLY PERSONALIZED ATTENTION AND FLEXIBLE OPPORTUNITIES. SO THAT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE THERE IT IS ON OUR AGENDA TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE NEW FACILITY

451
02:09:19.533 --> 02:09:35.966
SAME FACILITY EXPANDED AND MUCH NICER. VERY GLAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THAT. AS FAR AS THE PICTURES FROM THE LAST FEW WEEKS, SO WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO THE FPL CLASSROOM MAKEOVER AT BAN I DON'T KNOW CREEK ELEMENTARY. EVERYONE LOVES THE CLASSROOM

452
02:09:35.966 --> 02:09:52.933
MAKEOVERS IT IS A GREAT EXCUSE TO VISIT AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON AND TALK TO THE STUDENTS AND BE IN AN EXCITED TIME. THIS IS PICTURES FROM OUR BAN I DON'T KNOW CREEK ELEMENTARY MOMENT. THESE STUDENTS WILL BENEFIT SO MUCH FROM THESE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE BROUGHT TO US THROUGH
