Um third bullet, the city's nature areas have had restoration over the past few decades and are seeing an improvement in biodiversity. To expand that improvement, the city should look for opportunities to create wildlife corridors. air or land doesn't necessarily mean buying land um throughout the city.

So congratulations to our district for that award. We also received another uh recognition that I'm very proud of and that is um we've been recognized as a gold district implementer at the 2025 Northeast PBSIS leadership forum. This prestigious recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire school community because it impacts every school. It means that every one of our schools is implementing the PBIS framework with high fidelity and more importantly that we are sustaining strong systems that support the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs of our students. It's a true testament to the district's commitment to creating a positive, supportive learning environment for all students and for all staff. So, congratulations again to our entire district. Give a shout out to a couple schools individually. School five allstars raised a total of $13,785 for the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge. The students learned how to be heart healthy and our families had the opportunity to learn hands-on, excuse me, handsonly CPR while raising money to support research and those in need.

Our final question on this FAQ and um I'd like to keep adding to this as we have any other additional FAQs in the community that come up. But our final question currently is what should I know about social media and the schools? Um our district must follow guidelines of FURPA about keeping confidential information about students private and we are unable to directly comment or clarify on social media about student concerns. We ask for you to please communicate with us any concerns directly through the methods listed above. We talked through parent square, email, calling directly um so that we can work together to resolve any concerns promptly. We also ask for your help in monitoring students use of social media. For those who do have social media, we ask for your assistance in regularly monitoring that content. As a school, we do not have access to students Snapchat, Instagram, or other social media accounts.

The city should consider a program to encourage the removal of turf grass and other invasive plants from city and residential property which will allow more water absorption by the soil encouraging the use of native plants. Um 10 three it talks about really the urban heat island effect. So, we'd like to see a couple of more in there. Uh, for projects that do not require a site plan where tree removals are proposed, the city should require funds added to the canopy loss fund, the cost should be a sliding scale from a high price for native trees, a lower price for non-native trees, and a credit for invasive trees. The net result for all projects in an arbor should be a ne negligible increase in total cost. And the second bullet, the city should finalize the 2023 urban forest management plan and strive to achieve the canopy coverage goals listed.

We become aware of content that is considered un inappropriate or concerning when it's submitted to us as a screenshot or a picture by other students or by parents. Snapchat's particularly difficult because the messages messages disappear after they're sent on a device. At that point, it requires law enforcement involvement in order to retrieve the content. We appreciate your partnership and monitoring ongoing social media on student devices and reaching out to the school directly if you need to report any concerning events. And next year that say something app, you can directly take a snapshot, a screenshot of something and attach it. In those instances, a screenshot or picture of the content is helpful for our administrators. And again, we read this aloud so people at home would know all the answers. And um it's a lot of information. It'll be posted on the website if anyone like to to follow up on those answers.

We thought we should include a list of examples of green infrastructure. uh should include conversion of mode grass to native parks and also removal of invasive species. Uh the note has a listing of different items, but those two seem to be missing from the list. Um in 41, it's uh in economically disadvantaged areas with low access to parks and natural features, the existing parks and natural features should be protected regardless of their usage. 41 talks about um repurposing park different areas in the city including parks that is based on usage and and we don't feel that's correct in economically disadvantaged areas. Um if they don't have time to go to parks doesn't mean we should take their parks away.
