It's hard to believe we are already a full month into the school year. The first few weeks have given us a great opportunity to see our priorities in action across Del Valley ISD. One of the things I've enjoyed most is being out in our schools. 43 00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:13,740 I have visited classrooms, participated in family, connect nights across the district 44 00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:16,240 and spent time talking with staff and families. 45 00:16:16,620 --> 00:16:20,680 I continue to see teachers building strong relationships with students and creating classrooms 46 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,500 where students are deeply engaged in the learning. 47 00:16:24,340 --> 00:16:28,220 This year, I also started a new feature called taking flight, where I highlight some of the 48 00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:31,960 teachers and the great work I see when I visit our campuses. 49 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,780 Each week, I am sharing a different educator who is making learning, engaging, challenging 50 00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:38,400 and fun for our students. 51 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:45,140 These posts are on my social media and are just a few highlights of the many examples happening across the district every single day. 52 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,020 I'm also excited to announce our Ready Connect Teach initiative. 53 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:58,400 Beginning this semester, every central office administrator will spend a day serving as a substitute teacher in the classroom once in the fall and once in the spring. 54 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,860 I will also be participating too. 55 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,020 We talk a lot about staying connected to our schools. 56 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,420 Now we are putting that commitment into action. 57 00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:09,940 I just said that, 58 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,740 sorry, I was right, sorry. 59 00:17:17,060 --> 00:17:18,900 We talk a lot about staying connected to our students. 60 00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:20,920 Now we are putting commitment into action. 61 00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:25,020 Our central administration team will have the opportunity to experience the classroom 62 00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:28,960 from a different perspective, work alongside our teachers and students, and bring those 63 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,860 experiences back to help us better support our campuses. 64 00:17:32,820 --> 00:17:35,860 That same commitment to listening extends to our families and community. 65 00:17:35,860 --> 00:17:39,660 I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to talk to me at Family Connect Nights, 66 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,080 and I look forward to continuing those conversations throughout the school year. 67 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:48,580 Our first coffee and conversation opportunity is coming up Thursday morning at Hornsby Dunlap, 68 00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:53,060 which will give us another opportunity to listen and hear directly from our community, 69 00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,040 and to receive important updates from administration. 70 00:17:56,900 --> 00:18:00,440 And finally, I want to invite our community to come out and celebrate with us this week. 71 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,200 We have our community homecoming pep rally tomorrow night. 72 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,300 And then the homecoming game at the stadium on Friday night. 73 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,800 And I hope to see our students, family, staff, and community present. 74 00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:13,220 These events are more than about football. 75 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,320 They are opportunities for a community to come together, celebrate our students, 76 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,660 and show them that we are proud to fill the valley. 77 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,520 Thank you to our staff for the way you show up for our students every day. 78 00:18:24,820 --> 00:18:27,560 And thank you to our trustees for your continued partnership. 79 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,180 We have a lot of work ahead, but I'm proud of what I'm seeing across the district already. 80 00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:36,440 And we are ready, we are connected, and we are helping every student fly. 81 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,060 Thank you. 82 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:40,650 Thank you, Dr. Gutierrez. 83 00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:46,370 Next on our agenda is the Del Valley High School Update with Dr. Katrina Bailey. 84 00:18:57,750 --> 00:19:01,930 Good evening, President Guadianne, members of the board, Superintendent Dr. Gutierrez. 85 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:05,950 Tonight, we are presenting an update on Del Valley High School. 86 00:19:06,410 --> 00:19:11,650 This presentation will actually be co-presented or primarily presented by our Executive Principal 87 00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:12,130 of Actressate. 88 00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:22,440 Good evening Board of Trustees and Dr. Dietz, my pleasure to present an update on the Valley 89 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:22,920 High School. 90 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:29,080 First, I do want to recognize that today is international.dev and at the High School 91 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:35,120 on Homecoming Week it was polka dots or stripes pick a side and so you see what side I'm on 92 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:35,920 is polka dots. 93 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,320 Alrighty, so here we go. 94 00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:43,280 The purpose of the presentation today is to just give you a general update on where we 95 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,940 are at our high school, and also our goal, which is building a more consistent connected and 96 00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:55,700 student-centered experience, or not only our families, our students, but also for our teachers. 97 00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:01,180 And so we have some information to share with you about early indicators of our work, 98 00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:08,500 and the first one to shut off with what our priorities are as a campus. Our priorities were 99 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,960 We're chosen based off of teacher feedback, family input from last year's survey. 100 00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:17,280 So I'll get into a little bit about why we chose these priorities. 101 00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:24,600 But in a nutshell, school wide systems, attendance, effective tier one instruction, safety and 102 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,820 security, a focus on CCMR, and 103 00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:32,260 also supporting our emergent bilingual students, our priorities this school. 104 00:20:32,860 --> 00:20:36,740 And one way that we're able to achieve those priorities is 105 00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:42,540 relooking and thinking about our culture, which is how we do things on our campus, consistent 106 00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:48,740 expectations, those academic habits, accountability for staff, not just testing accountability, 107 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,720 but ourselves as administrators, our staff, and also holding our students accountable, and 108 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,020 then building that culture of respect. 109 00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:03,420 And what we hope to see is that we have safe and supported students, staff is supported, 110 00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:05,100 that we're known and connected. 111 00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:10,760 We want everybody to feel proud to be a cardinal and most importantly that we're ready to learn. 112 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,400 And so I mentioned earlier that we conducted a teacher exit survey at the end of the year 113 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:24,340 where we surveyed more than 200 of our staff. This was the information that we got from our survey. 114 00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:30,760 So strengthening our priorities. Our teachers and staff noted that the strengths of 115 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,440 Valley High School, our staff collaborate in the field season teamwork are resilience 116 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:43,140 through change and also dedicated teachers and staff. Some of those priorities that we 117 00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:49,320 were able to discern from the survey is that our staff were asking for us to be focused 118 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,260 on student discipline and support, so clear expectations, meaningful consequences, and 119 00:21:55,260 --> 00:22:00,620 consistent follow-through from our administration team, as well as communication, so transparent 120 00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:04,580 communication, consistent messaging, and then hallway supervision. 121 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,240 And so based off of these priorities, we put together a plan. 122 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,940 Some other notable comments from staff was confidence in leadership. 123 00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:16,260 So they mentioned about consistent leadership. 124 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,900 So these were just some of the most noted comments that we saw from the survey that we put together. 125 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,080 So wanting that stability, that presence, and that confidence. 126 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:33,260 So, based off of this survey information, we have four focus areas that help us organize 127 00:22:33,260 --> 00:22:38,780 our work, building strong culture through clear and consistent routines, strengthening our 128 00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:45,400 academic habits and ownership, and then modeling respect and restoring relationships between 129 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,600 staff to staff, but also staff to students, and then responding quickly to information that 130 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,300 we're receiving from our student staff and our family needs. 131 00:22:54,300 --> 00:23:00,740 And so this is the culture of change process that you see here on the wheel, right? 132 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,740 We're making sure that even though we've established some consistent systems and practices 133 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,980 that we're adapting to this change and that we're responding to what we're hearing. 134 00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:16,200 So we're listening, we are using data that we're collecting from a variety of sources and 135 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,300 then reinforcing that and then making adjustments in the moment. 136 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,800 So making sure that we're clear with our routines and accountability. 137 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:47,100 But there were also having systems in place like PBIS, restorative practices, a place for staff and students to share their voices, and then also strengthening our community partnerships and some of those examples we had before school started with Cardinal takeoff, we invited community partners from across the street to come and join us on campus and you'll see more of that throughout the presentation as well. 138 00:23:48,140 --> 00:23:53,280 One of the biggest things that came out from our staff as well as students, I know last 139 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,960 year I went into enforcement classes, gave me a presentation on what are some things 140 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,200 that they need for our school to feel safer. 141 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,360 And so we drew from student presentation and our staff survey data to come up with some 142 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,220 of the action items that you see here. 143 00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:15,700 And so we revised our hallways, so we have color coded hallway passes so that teachers 144 00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:21,220 and staff know where students are moving, daily ID checks that are done through the arrival 145 00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:27,260 stations as well as during class periods. We have consistent Ross Road duty stations, 146 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,800 so I have a duty station on Ross Road, my associate principal does. We've also started incorporating 147 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,080 our teaching staff into that as well, and that is an effort to have students remain on campus, 148 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,020 because we're a close campus and we want to make sure that they're safe and they're learning 149 00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:48,700 at all times. And then ongoing perimeter improvement, so we've had some funds that came 150 00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:56,160 directly from our school board to support just the gates around, like making sure that 151 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:02,100 they were, the parking lot was closed off properly, having that private security monitoring 152 00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:09,320 our parking lot increased safety support. So staff members, we received five additional 153 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,480 allocations for safety support, and we've actually already hired three of those five positions. 154 00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:20,380 And so those individuals are highly visible at all times, so our assistant principals work 155 00:25:20,380 --> 00:25:25,740 in zones together with our safety support, and we've also changed their uniforms, which was 156 00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:31,700 an important part because we wanted our students and staff to see that there is visible support 157 00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:38,840 in the hallway. Some of the positive behavior supports that we're working on in our school 158 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,820 is an initiative that we call cards, so we're highlighting and I say where it's our 159 00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:49,120 teachers that are recognizing our students for this, so they recognize character, accountability, 160 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:55,340 respect, determination and service from our students and every Friday our students can turn 161 00:25:55,340 --> 00:26:01,520 in the cards card at lunch to get a reward or a snack. So even high school students like to get treats, 162 00:26:01,820 --> 00:26:07,760 don't let them fool you because they love rewards. Some ways for us to build a sense of belonging 163 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:16,760 our student group, so we were fortunate enough to be able to reallocate some of our staffing to implement a restorative specialist. 164 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:26,440 And what that restorative specialist does is she does active groups with students during the school day, which helps our students learn communication skills, 165 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:33,720 emotional management, how to work with others like student to student, but also staff to student relationships. 166 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,000 So, she'll start doing what we call breakfast club, we'll have cardinal leaders, we're excited 167 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,720 about food truck Fridays, so we've partnered with our businesses across the street and 168 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,920 other businesses in Del Valley to come and do food truck Fridays for our students, and 169 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,780 those are just some reward systems that are built into PBIS. 170 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,240 We've already kicked off with a lot of pep rallies. 171 00:26:57,860 --> 00:27:01,400 Every student gets an opportunity to participate in those pep rallies. 172 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,540 We've done at least once every other week, especially during football season, and that 173 00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:08,500 helps us build those positive relationships. 174 00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:15,220 Some academic pieces that I wanted to highlight is we have what we call quick rights, daily 175 00:27:15,220 --> 00:27:17,060 quick rights during second period. 176 00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:23,440 We have an extended second period, which is 28 minutes longer, and during every class period 177 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,000 our students have writing prompts. 178 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,380 And so every class during second period is writing in our class across our campus. 179 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:33,060 And then some early signs of progress. 180 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,200 We are seeing fewer students in the hallways. 181 00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:41,060 We're actively collecting data, so our safety support team will collect data. 182 00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:47,100 They have clipboards and they're taking numbers and documenting that information for 183 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,500 us so that we can adjust our systems as needed. 184 00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:56,300 Tardy sweeps, which are not as popular with our students, but I do have data to make 185 00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:57,420 an impact there. 186 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,460 Our physical altercations are also down from the previous school year, and we're having 187 00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:03,640 consistent follow-through. 188 00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:06,640 And that last piece is coming from parent feedback. 189 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,480 We're hearing parents tell us that our assistant principals are making more communication with 190 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,320 them, and so we're closing that feedback loop about what's happening on campus, and also 191 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,660 making those connections come. 192 00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:22,920 So, this is a snapshot of some of our tardy suite data. 193 00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:29,180 My associate principal texted me yesterday and we had 97 students earlier this week. 194 00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:33,780 And so those numbers keep going down and I was joking with my counselors today. 195 00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:39,100 We had a warning bell ring and I heard faster footsteps to class and I was like, oh, okay. 196 00:28:39,580 --> 00:28:43,980 So our students are knowing the signals for the bell and when they need to get to class 197 00:28:43,980 --> 00:28:44,480 on time. 198 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,460 So this is promising information for us. 199 00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:55,580 And then just what we're hearing, I took emails, text messages, records of emails that 200 00:28:55,580 --> 00:29:01,340 my associate principal was receiving comments from our business partners across this street, 201 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,500 letting us know that the work that we're doing is having an impact. 202 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,040 And so these comments or quotes are really encouraging for us as a team, knowing that we're going 203 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:10,980 in the right direction. 204 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,160 And then lastly, our academic supports. 205 00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:19,040 As you know, more than half of our student population, 206 00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,060 our students that are emergent by language, 207 00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:24,380 and we are graded for accountability or telepaths. 208 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,040 And we want to make sure that we're focusing on our students 209 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,220 that need the most support. 210 00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:32,480 And so we have developed a language acquisition plan 211 00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:35,860 where we'll have a language lab and daily practice. 212 00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,520 So this is in addition to our daily writing, 213 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,560 and we will start our language lab coming in the next few weeks. 214 00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:45,160 I've already had a couple of meetings with our teachers. 215 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,400 And so this is teacher driven and teacher run based off of the data. 216 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,580 And so talked about this a little bit about targeted support. 217 00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:57,500 So using Summit K12 which will give us real-time data 218 00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,340 on improvements for our students. 219 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,460 And we're connecting all of our data with our English one and English two EOC test results. So, we see, I don't want to use the word correlation, but a relationship between English one and English two star scores and how successful our students are on the telepass test that they have the team. And then our CCMR action plan, we made some adjustments from previous school years where every assistant principal is tracking by alpha. And one of their requirements, actually what they're doing right now, 220 00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:37,440 while I'm in here, they're doing data presentations tracking by Alpha, where their students are, and CCMR is just a part of that. 221 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:45,160 And so we track that every week, and it's also goals that we have embedded in our campus improvement plan, which I know you all will get to see as well. 222 00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:50,780 And I talked about this already, really student and family voices driving our action. 223 00:30:50,780 --> 00:30:53,120 and so we take every bit of information, 224 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,260 whether it's for calls, survey data, 225 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,300 or just observational data, what we're hearing, 226 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,100 to make those adjustments as we go, 227 00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:02,600 because we know that we're not perfect, 228 00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:05,980 but we do want to listen and learn from our staff 229 00:31:05,980 --> 00:31:08,260 and also our community, as well as our students. 230 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,220 And this is just an example of the training 231 00:31:13,220 --> 00:31:16,340 that we're doing based off of our survey data. 232 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,520 So, classroom management was one 233 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,980 one of the highest most selected professional developments for our teachers. 234 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,040 So we'll be working with gear up, which is one of our partners to provide that pd 235 00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:31,400 along with restorative practices and trust-based relational interventions. 236 00:31:32,180 --> 00:31:37,340 And then just some pictures to end the presentation of our teachers in training, 237 00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:39,320 building treatment agreements. 238 00:31:39,780 --> 00:31:45,260 And those are how students treat other students in class, how students treat the teacher, 239 00:31:45,260 --> 00:31:50,500 how teachers treat students, and those agreements are done in the classroom and 240 00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:55,220 post-it in classrooms for students to see but also for our teachers to refer back to. 241 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:03,040 And then with our breast partnership, the Big Rocks education, we're doing coaching 242 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,180 and feedback, and so these are just some examples. I was really excited because I 243 00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:12,580 went into the algebra classroom and we were doing some improvements with time, 244 00:32:12,580 --> 00:32:17,780 voice and body and I was able to see it with my own eyes in real time. We got real excited because 245 00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:24,500 the breast coaching is very intense for administrators and for teachers, but to be able to see the 246 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:30,460 coaching and feedback cycle in real time working was really promising for us. And so we were seeing 247 00:32:30,460 --> 00:32:35,440 improvement there with student engagement using the strategies that we're learning with our breast 248 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,980 partnership. And then just some more evidence of PLCs, which our teachers noted were already 249 00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:49,180 some strong points on the campus, but teachers teaching in real time going over the lesson 250 00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:55,200 plans together and sharing input. This is actually the biology PLC, and I was excited to 251 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,840 put this picture in the presentation because the person presenting is a first year teacher, 252 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,160 Mr. Driscoll, and he's been doing amazing things. 253 00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:07,600 It takes a lot of courage to get in front of your colleagues 254 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,500 and do presentation or less than internalization. 255 00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:13,100 And I literally called him on the spot. 256 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,180 It was like, Mr. Driscoll, we were in your classroom. 257 00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,300 Can you stand up and teach this lesson for us? 258 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:17,920 And he did it. 259 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,940 No problem. 260 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,220 So lastly, what we need. 261 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,280 We just need continued support from teaching and learning 262 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,960 our Board of Trustees, our superintendent, 263 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:35,500 it definitely is supporting us to just keep practicing these strategies and then having 264 00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:40,040 that real-time data to make the adjustments, support with our community partnerships. 265 00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:41,840 So that's always helpful. 266 00:33:42,660 --> 00:33:47,920 The ability to be able to respond to any community needs and staff concerns. 267 00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:52,180 And then just those updates, right? 268 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,600 So we're still waiting on a couple things like the guard shack or controlled access. 269 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:02,520 we have our private security out there, which is definitely helpful, but just those other 270 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:08,080 improvements that we're still waiting on for that. And then front office capacity, which I believe 271 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:14,760 Josh Thomas from our DVISD Foundation has already reached out and met this need, which literally 272 00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:19,980 I was like wanting to cry yesterday. I was telling my husband last night, I really just made this 273 00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:26,100 presentation and we already have support. And so these are just things that help fuel us with 274 00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:33,560 our goals with our campus. But Josh said that Southwest Airlines is going to help our high school 275 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,940 with customer service and our front office. So it was pretty awesome, yeah. And my husband's 276 00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:43,360 like, wow, who has those kind of connections? Southwest Airlines. But we just thank you for that 277 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,340 because this work is hard, right? And so for us, what comes next is just keep listening, keep moving 278 00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:55,660 forward, collecting that data to make those change. We know that culture only happens whenever 279 00:34:55,660 --> 00:35:00,860 our students, staff, and families feel that experience, consistency, and connection, 280 00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:03,900 and definitely the support that you all provide us helps us in the past. 281 00:35:07,220 --> 00:35:09,580 If you have any questions, thank you, Dr. Holliday. 282 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,180 Trustees, do we have any questions or comments? 283 00:35:15,470 --> 00:35:16,790 Vice President Lizas Mowoodie? 284 00:35:20,930 --> 00:35:23,190 Okay, that was a lot, and I appreciate that. 285 00:35:23,530 --> 00:35:26,070 I love the recognition of our students. 286 00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:26,810 That's pretty awesome. 287 00:35:27,490 --> 00:35:31,990 A couple of questions that I have, and this is just stuff that I've been seeing and hearing 288 00:35:31,990 --> 00:35:33,770 online, and I know it's all hearsay. 289 00:35:33,770 --> 00:35:36,490 but I just wanted to get your opinion on stuff. 290 00:35:38,290 --> 00:35:40,010 When we talk about student discipline, 291 00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:42,750 how are we notifying our clearance of all of these changes? 292 00:35:42,990 --> 00:35:44,890 Because it seems to me that it may not really happen. 293 00:35:46,860 --> 00:35:49,320 You know, because I hear some that we're not doing enough 294 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,780 and some that we're doing too much. 295 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,900 So how are we communicating? 296 00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:53,420 Absolutely. 297 00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:59,500 One of the things that I do weekly is I send out the weekly scoop. 298 00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:02,200 And so that's done through Parent Square. 299 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,020 and those have been sent out every Friday. 300 00:36:05,340 --> 00:36:07,180 They will be updates on the campus 301 00:36:07,180 --> 00:36:11,280 that include academics to discipline any responses 302 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,180 or adjustments to information 303 00:36:13,180 --> 00:36:15,240 that we hear from our school community. 304 00:36:15,860 --> 00:36:18,760 And then through our community organization, 305 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,420 so we speak with families like tomorrow 306 00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:22,940 and we have our community cap rally. 307 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,280 We'll be out speaking with families, 308 00:36:25,540 --> 00:36:27,780 listening and sharing information word of mouth. 309 00:36:28,380 --> 00:36:31,820 But also we recently just had our cardinal connect today. 310 00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:40,700 I gave a presentation there on academic priorities, some of our updates with discipline as well as ways that our families can stay connected with us at school. 311 00:36:42,460 --> 00:37:00,720 The next one's going to be around tardies, and I know from experience that my daughter had to go from main campus to PTEC, to athletics, where can students go, and do students and parents know where they can go to based on their schedule, get extension to get from class A to class B. 312 00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:02,580 if there's a longer, yeah. 313 00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:03,460 Absolutely. 314 00:37:03,940 --> 00:37:07,760 So we have a large campus, it's almost like a mini-college campus. 315 00:37:08,180 --> 00:37:12,320 And we know that our students participate in a variety of programs, which we want 316 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,060 them to, right? 317 00:37:13,220 --> 00:37:17,300 And we want to honor the fact that because there are in so many programs, the distance that 318 00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:22,140 they have to go in between different buildings, right, from the athletics, whether it's ECHS, 319 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,360 PTEC, what have you. 320 00:37:23,740 --> 00:37:29,320 So we have what's called a minute pass, and they can obtain those minute passes from 321 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,600 their assistant principal's office, but also in the front office, and I have them in 322 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,120 my office as well. And what we will do is just do conversations or students checking 323 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:45,220 in. It goes on the back of their ID badge, and it identifies which class period or class 324 00:37:45,220 --> 00:37:50,800 period students need additional time. And so that way, if they are caught up in a tardy 325 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,460 sweep or something, they flash us the badge and the back of their ID. And then we know that 326 00:37:55,460 --> 00:37:59,540 they are actually cleared because they've had to go a distance between classes. 327 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:05,780 Okay, perfect. I have more if anybody else has. Okay, I'll let somebody else go. 328 00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:07,160 Secretary Wagner? 329 00:38:09,530 --> 00:38:13,450 Thank you very much for this presentation.

Is there some mechanism for that? 409 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:30,120 Yeah, absolutely. I have a couple of mechanisms actually. One of the strategies I employ are called heart to heart meetings and that went out in one of my weekly newsletters. 410 00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:43,540 We've it was this week or last week, the staff. So in addition to sending the newsletters out to the community, I also do it with the staff and staff can sign up on my calendar for what are called heart hearts with doctor holiday. 411 00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:49,860 in my message it specifically says that I come with no agenda, it really is just to listen. 412 00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:55,180 And so those are one of the avenues that staff can provide that feedback without feeling 413 00:43:55,180 --> 00:43:58,280 like they're put on the spot or that there's something that they can't say. 414 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:04,200 The second one is we did our exit survey at the end of last school year. 415 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:10,060 However, one of my assistant principals is currently crafting another survey so that we 416 00:44:10,060 --> 00:44:14,720 can kind of get a temperature check or a pulse check with our staff before October. 417 00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:19,740 And so that will be part of our data that we use to continue to make those adjustments 418 00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:25,520 and make sure that our staff are being heard, students will also receive a survey like 419 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,380 that internally at the campus level so that we can kind of make those adjustments. 420 00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:33,360 Okay, so then this next one's going to be, and you may not have the answer to it, but 421 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,300 I just want to throw it out there. 422 00:44:35,020 --> 00:44:36,240 Is it documented? 423 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:40,800 it because the last thing I ever want to hear anybody say is there's a fear of retaliation 424 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,220 because I said something. 425 00:44:42,820 --> 00:44:49,020 So how are we able to say, hey, that's not the case, yada, yada, yada, yada, yeah. 426 00:44:49,220 --> 00:44:54,000 So if you're talking about specifically the heart to heart meetings with me, those are 427 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,320 documented as far as it's on the calendar so you'll know when the meeting occurred, right? 428 00:44:59,320 --> 00:44:59,920 that also helped. 429 00:45:00,050 --> 00:45:23,750 Let's keep me honest to make sure that I'm meeting and with what staff I'm meeting with. As far as the documented piece, I am just taking notes and responding to staff based off of a just a thing. And that's shared openly with the staff member. So there's no, you know, other method other than using that information from staff to help make sure that we're doing right thing for them. Thank you. 430 00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:34,360 First, as a parent of high schooler, I am so grateful for your leadership and for the 431 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,620 hard work you and your team are doing. 432 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,560 I mean, you can feel it when you walk the halls with family connect night and I know your 433 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,820 team is working really hard. 434 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,060 It's a lot of kids in a lot of space. 435 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:43,720 Thank you. 436 00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:50,160 I know accountability isn't everything but the place where we're struggling as I understand 437 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,500 is the closing the gaps. 438 00:45:52,260 --> 00:46:03,360 I'm curious, what is the student group or how would you describe the need there that we should be addressing and I'm curious how your strategies are sort of moving towards that?
