okay we're live you know trying to do tomorrow oh we don't have this you are alive okay all right we'll go ahead and begin so this is strategic plan number four update and we will actually go through a few slides and obviously stop me if you have any questions um and then we'll get to all information we want to share and i may go back and forth on the slide since uh some of the notes are not they're on the screen but not on the screen so we'll go ahead and do that so just a reminder that our strategic priorities the one is student achievement of course uh seeing different data that we give you all the time there's a lot of great things happening but we always have room for improvement and we'll continue to work on that number two recruitment and retention we'll talk about that a little bit more later some of the things that we did to get to the point where we're at and we are close to our adm um final count and i will tell you that we're going to be really really close to what we were last year and obviously knowing a lot of different things there have been a across the county and so it's good to know that we're we're back on track with that it'll be signed to what our thought was our followers yes mostly we're trying to compare apples to apples of course typically we have an increase from fall spring but it looks like we're going to be about the same a lot of different scenarios with that and then of course financial uh chris does a great job with all those and you will approve the budget tonight uh we're recommending the budget there tonight so things are looking really well there and of course priority number four facilities and technology is really what we're talking about the most here and so provide safe and efficient learning environments and i do want to read the measurable goal that was presented when we started this in 2019 and that is to optimize utilization and determine feasibility of current facilities or other possibilities and so really when that was written we didn't really know what the other possibilities might be but those are the things that we're looking at whether it's a current facilities or other possibilities and that's what we'll be talking about tonight also so i want to give a little brief history i think this is really neat too if um the people if anybody's online watching this we do have the pictures of all of the board members on the on the wall and it's interesting to note that on july 1st of 1959 is when msd became a corporation and you can see in 1962 is when southward northville oakland and you can see where all of those township schools came together and then of course from 1965 to 1980 the four elementaries were built and so one thing i think we're at the point now where we look at okay are there other things that we can do to be more efficient and provide more opportunities for students and looking at the picture there i know everybody can't see that if they're online i don't know if anybody is online right now but um the pictures there you can actually see um they're around some tables now we don't have those chairs anymore but we do have uh new tables and chairs but we we uh up to about a year ago we had all those chairs 60 from 62 years ago yeah we still have a few they're just not in this room right now and i have one in my office too so it's really neat to have that so but anyway they were contemplating what to do when you have chippewa fountain la grill lincolnville lynn lawn noble township rowan somerset and urbana they were contemplating of course then like we said 1962-63 was the first school year for southwood junior senior high school in north virginia high school like yesterday but nobody was necessarily school at that time here but they watched it but you watched it yeah so one thing we want to look at too is and part of the reason for all this discussion and discussion across the state of indiana with other schools too is just a student enrollment history and i have to explain a little bit this so um going back to 1962-63 being 60 years ago it's almost 60 years ago it's sometimes difficult to find all the data but we do have little booklets that shows some of those enrollments uh that we had back in 1976 1977 and you can see the other day there's a date there that skipped also you from 1980 to 1981 could not find that booklet but there are other dates there so there's a big gap from 1982 to 2015 2015 is when i came to central office and then have a little bit more idea through our skyward system or through other electronic means to find out what all those numbers were so you can see the difference from 1979 1980 there were one thousand four students uh at northfield and southwood combined with 493 and 511 always been pretty consistent with the same amount of numbers and then presently and when i said presently this is uh like a week ago so it could be up or down a little bit probably up about 509 students so again when you look at that it looks pretty uh like a huge drop from 81 to 2015 but you also notice that that's there's a lot of years involved with that and then you can kind of compare them you go back and forth here you can kind of compare that this is a graph that was provided actually i was in a kiwanis meeting that grill wash county actually presented a population loss in the county and you can see it really parallels you can see 1900 all the way to 2050 is what some projections are but kind of parallels the two different graphs but that's not necessarily our concern as much as a concern of what our own enrollment is how we can make things more efficient provide more opportunities also notice though from to 2020 the last census um it actually we lost 1912 people in long beach county according to the census so going along with what has been projected and this is just another uh graph that was provided by walrus county really breaks it down to kind of the same thing you saw before but also breaks it down by age groups and a number that's projected be lost in 2020 to 2050.

good evening and welcome to east long meadow high school for this match between the east long metal spartans and the miniature falcons it is 64 degrees out mostly cloudy looks like we're gonna have a night for soccer how's it going brady i'm doing good chad i'm all i'm brady dolbeck alongside chad o'brien and we're gonna be commentating this game for you tonight so minichol is starting out with possession here and islamido is able to clear it out of bounds and that will be a miniature throwing a little bit of a relaxed start here for the spartans hopefully we can uh get the ball up field and uh get a scoring opportunity yeah only 32 seconds in yeah not much going on yet but kayla kasich able to try and glue that ball but it goes out to a miniature player but goes out of bounds and it'll be and he's somewhere the defender can't catch their number but as they're throwing that goes to brown this will go it's going to be a throw-in i believe for the falcons here all right so that's something i want to bounce there um that's going to be thrown from hitchhike and he's someone who's going to look to defend here machowski on the ball it's pushing into the corner that seemed to run out of bounds on a miniature player yes it did and it'll be caroline and kasich there to take the throne throwing will be deep to brown it'll be casting with the bomb now oh the falling of the bounce there now ball goes to the castle and goes out of bounds once again falcons just aren't letting them out of the zone right now they're just i'm like bread on butter is oh [Music] it'll be east all meadow with possession now and cask is able to kick it up field towards cantanzer edie and the ball goes the other way now there's more known with the ball handling tries to pass it over to the right back and is intercepted by a minute jog that ball will go out of bounds [Music] got to get the spartans going here there is 36 45 remaining in the game and it is a 0-0 so far ball keeps going out of bounds mr freeman wants us to talk about our soccer i mean brady what do you i won't get too much in depth because i mean i was in awe i mean i'm sure most of you strong metal knows uh brady dobb back back in the day uh you know i was pretty disgusting chad so yeah i have quite a few double maybe even triple hat tricks on my plate i had a couple yellow cards in my day as well you know it is andrew smith carrying up the left side now a little bit of action but that ball will go out of bounds off of a minute jog of what i thought was a miniature yes off the minute strong player it will be should be a corner kick here a corner kick for haley brown and we'll see what you saw mine can do with this never got a red but uh definitely could have and definitely should have in a couple scenarios but um the refs were in a good mood i guess that night so we all know bridges we survived a big enforcer yeah oh yeah i did hang him up though uh seventh grade i hung him up i miss it though that'll be kicked in by brown deep that's was kill kasich with a chance to get ahead on that but it'll be a bit too far for her to reach and it'll be a miniature with a throw-in all right good scoring opportunity there for the spartans um hopefully they can get some more it'll be a throne for mitch ugler gonna play it pretty deep trying to advance it up field is now he's summoned a defending and as machowski who ends up with the ball tries to pass it and it is intercept once again by mitchog and a little back and forth gameplay paulus ends up with it passes it to ainsley smith on the left side and she tries to advance it up field a little trip on that play and nothing two sparks down on that block yeah two down nothing will be called though it's kokovia there back with the ball she's gonna look to make a little move she's to move it up the left side she's going to try and get it up there but it goes out of bounds off of miss touch but kobe is able to get it right back but it goes out of bounds again good defensive play there by uh gabby rita to force kokovia to the outside so that she had nowhere uh to go in through the middle of the field and possibly get it into the offensive zone seems to be a no ball girl so like you yeah no um no ball ball children tonight normally they're out chasing the balls that go out of bounds to keep this game moving quickly but i guess they're all on vacation or something i don't know you know brady when we were in elementary i remember you as the shag of the team i was on the shag team and let me tell you let me tell you there was no ball that got away from me then less than three seconds or over three seconds part of me i mean i was on the ball i would go i would get the ball throw it right to you know whoever needed it and the trick is chad you got to give them the ball first and then go get it some people don't you know they don't understand they all know you were very honorable with your uh shag duties hey sometimes you might not get the all-star position but doesn't matter in life even if you're digging ditches you gotta do it to the best of your ability you know it ain't much but it's honest work you know what i mean it is it's kokovia carrying it up puts it to smith smith directs it back to roman roman tries to put it up field and it'll go to a miniature player off of deflection it is cantanzarity here with a misplay by a miniature defender she tries to put it lefty can't get a good enough foot on it oh good scoring opportunity there luke kasich just couldn't get a foot on it goalie was at a net caroline lucasic with a throw in directed towards her sister kayla kasich and that ball will end up going back to machowski who tries to keep it in but just a little bit too far for her good luck for katanzariti though splitting the defense letting her use her speed to get a scoring opportunity yeah really made that center back panic there and was almost able to capitalize people like pressure and she was able to apply that there nice move by brown there she's able to direct it over her head past cantan's reedy contains i believe tried to touch it back to brown but i went off her foot that ball would be directed all the way back to kirkovia she makes a nice move she's gonna pass it over to smith smith looking to make a play touches it back to roman roman with a kick over to brown brown to the middle it's more no carrying it up she makes a nice touch to luke kasich with kasich up the right side trying to make a move can't get through she's going to direct it back to her midfielder there and it's minichog ending up with the ball there often off an interception miniature striker trying to make a play there but can't quite do it that ball will end up going out of bounds somebody played the role of the shag there good offensive uh zone time there for the spartans yeah it was it is brown carrying it up past midfield she's going to touch it trying to reach lukassic or cantanzerity but that ball is a little bit too far between them and it'll be minichog ending up with the ball it's a nice touch to minichog striker the defloreo trying to make a play there great defensive play by machalski to keep that scoring opportunity from occurring a little scary opportunity there that the falcons had could have put this game uh could have put the falcons up one nothing real quick with only 10 minutes into the first half that extra touch by that miniature striker almost worked like de florio came out for the shot was playing the shot and then she made that one extra touch to get by and almost worked out for her but machowski was there to defend great play for you somehow that was a corner kick for miniature and will be defended and number 29 for miniature able to get shot just outside the box but defloreo is easily able to save it just under 30 minutes remaining in the first half is to florio with the punt she'll put it deep to brown and that ball ends up going back to minichog brown able to defend there nice little play she's going to touch it to cantan's reedy cantans are eating with the ball now she's going to touch back to brown brown looking to make a play over to lou kasich lukassic holding on past it to brown brown with a nice through pass to canton's reedy good luck there from brown looking for the through ball between the defense she got that through katanzari would have a nice clear shot on net yeah it was a nice look saw the seam there and kentanzuri and brown just weren't on the same page it seems a little ball movement by minichog around midfield that'll be directed back to one of their defenders and that ball is tipped off smith smith trying to defend here and she's able good defensive play good chance here for you salmeado that's gonna be directed towards lukassic just a little bit too far for her and that'll go right back to miniatures goalie i'm really liking how the spartans are looking for these through balls you know you get past the d you let the strikers use their speed and you're gonna end up with a shot on net possible rebound possible goal yeah you saw meadow their attackers do have a lot of speed we've seen that in past games with those through balls some good acceleration it'll be de florio here with the goal kick now number 13 and number 11 for miniature now 7.

as we're being live streamed i got a message yeah okay um good evening today is wednesday september 29th and i call the special meeting of the brookfield board of education to order uh in accordance with executive order 7b suspending sections 1-206 of the connecticut general statutes the public will not be able to attend this meeting in person but will have the ability to view or listen to the meeting in real time by way of the brookfield board of education youtube channel also you can call into the meeting and listen i assume on the meeting id is 914-5798-2892 uh passcode is 704-105 the phone number to dial is 1-929-205-6099 [Music] okay let's stand for the pledge i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all debbie i love the flag it shows up backwards on the uh on the screen though does it i always try to like yeah there you go okay all right um so we have all seven of our board members here tonight um so the only item on our public part of our agenda is the 22 23 budget planning calendar amy do you want to read the motion or all right i will move that the board approved the 2022-2023 budget calendar as recommended by the finance subcommittee and director of business and operations ken post yes second okay um so here is hopefully everybody can see it all right so what you want me to go ahead and kind of walk everybody through what's coming just yeah that would be great and we'll get it and then we can vote on it um so every year around this time uh we actually the first thing we do relative to the budget season is we put our budget calendar in place um and just as a reminder for anybody who monitors what goes on in the in the world of the board of education it it our budget cycle is ahead of the town budgets because it's a key input into the town budget cycle and i'll touch on both of those uh through my short talk tonight we are kicking off the budget for a year from now's budget now um it's always amazing to me that and by the end of september we're kicking off the board of education budget but it takes a a bit of work to pull together a budget for the upcoming season so this week we've been distributing the material out to the administrators um we will have budget assumptions uh they're working up right now uh mr post dr burrell are working on you know what should the budget assumptions that they would bring to us for our approval uh and that we'll see those in october uh we will those assumptions and the kickoff material then guide everything that goes on until um until we get to early december when we actually have a budget presentation and i'm just looking at the chart i think that is on the first of december this year now just as a point of reference if there's any new board members that will be the day they're sworn in as board members it'll be their first meeting as a board member of our board so uh we do have a couple of incumbent members running but if we have any we're gonna have at least one new member this year and uh and it will be like trial by fire we all have to help that new member or members you know and to get through the budget cycle we've all been there um we will have a budget round table in november uh so that the public can give us any inputs that they'd like us to consider and then in december we will do like we did last year we'll go through a bunch of very detailed finance committee reviews the board as a whole can submit questions in and we'll go through a very detailed set of reviews at in the finance committee and then at our board meetings and we have a couple of bites at the apple um through the month of december and into january um the um and you can see those are all calendared here all those december meetings and into january we will um have a public hearing on the budget in the beginning of january on january 5th that just precedes our regular board of education meeting um and that's a formal public hearing where people who will have had a chance to see what's being submitted to us will have a chance to uh give us formal comment on on the budget and in that respect it's called a public hearing um and then we have an another uh couple of that evening and then our second meeting in january a chance to deliberate and we submit on the end of january so it's a busy budget cycle we will be as a board busiest during the month of uh december and into january and we'll have some of important events in november in terms of assumptions and in terms of uh you know a public roundtable um what happens after that is the it gets submitted to the board of selectmen at the end of january that's by statute it has to be the end of january the board of selectmen deliberate on it they have to send submit by the beginning of march to the board of finance the board of finance then has some time to deliberate and they will also hold a public hearing in april and then uh we have a town meeting to set the referendum date on the first tuesday of may and uh then the referendum is usually about two weeks after that but that date's not established yet until um we're talking about having one of the three-way meetings again in february um so you know where the board of selectmen and the board of finance and the board of ed can all be in session together we would present the gist of our budget that seems to have worked really well the last couple of years because the board of selectmen gets it exactly in time to for their deliberations but the board of finance is gets it early and we don't have to have multiple presentations of the same thing so it works out very well for all three boards i think so that's kind of the schedule of events um december and january for us and with an end of january submission date um and this is again for the 2022-23 calendar year so that's kind of a quick walk-through of what the schedule looks like ahead of us uh dr burrell anything any color you'd like to add to that dissertation you really hit it all about the only the only thing i'd like to add is for the public and just for the board and anybody might be watching who is running for some of those board spots you talked about the budget really is is one of the main uh most critical functions of of the board of education in terms of the direction of the district because as i always say the budget is a financial statement about our values you know and our roadmap forward with what we're planning for the district so um it's important for people to know how serious it's taken with the formal budget calendar uh in addition to all the back office and behind the scenes work that goes in with the input from staff up to the principals and then from the principals in each school into central office and all the work that we do on it with dr ruby and mr post and myself um and mrs wagonic our special education director so all of that goes in it's an eight month process from this week all the way through until the referendum at the end of may so it's a it's a very long um process and sometimes it's tedious and very busy um but um it's important to be able to understand that the the dollar spent the taxpayers of money is as well vetted as we get to the final uh vote from the board of education and certainly through the process with the board of selection and board of finance before it goes through i will also give some kudos to dr burrell and his team that you know when over the years the budget used to be presented either in the second week in december or the second meeting in december or the first meeting in january even and we've gotten into a good routine of having our first budget submission in uh early december gives us more time to look at it and therefore we have a chance we tend to have a little bit of iteration in that window and that's a good thing in my mind so uh um so it's a uh so kudos right uh getting it focused and delivered on time the other thing i will say is mr post and our town controller mrs marion have a fair have a very tight working relationship on the budgets in terms of formats and deliverables and things like that so every time i seem to ask a question that i think i'm going to say i was expecting the answer oh we'll get together and work on that they've already worked on it so i'm actually very pleased in our finance committee meetings at the working partnership we have with the town side so i i just have a quick question yeah um for that um october 22nd date john could you provide us with on the request that the directors and the administrators uh make for the preliminary you know they're approved well yeah ken will have all of those so when you want those we'll get them to you yeah that's not a problem yeah you're right it's always useful to see what was asked for not just what the result of uh deliberations are any other questions all right i took a peek at the dates they don't seem to conflict with um with anything um holidays or anything so christmas shopping because i'll be in i'll be in for the finance committee me or finance committee meetings all the time do you think there's any value um i'm just thinking about the attendance at past roundtable meetings and the fact that you know historically we haven't really had a lot of participation from the public i'm wondering if it's worth setting up like a dedicated email address like we did for the covid questions just to address budget suggestions um or you know even just a communication to people to say you know we're starting the budget process now is the time to contact us contact us with your thoughts and ideas or requests or suggestions you know i'm just trying to think of how we can solicit feedback and encourage more participation in the process like even if people can't come to meetings i think one easy way is we can make it via zoom or add that to it i was thinking it's the same for sure you give people the opportunity it might just be you know with child care or just work schedules might be easier via zoom for people too six o'clock especially is hard is there anything that says this round table needs to be the traditional format of a round table where you know we sort of sit around a table and and take feedback um because it wasn't there was there was an app or some some tech and i think eric probably would know about this where i don't know people were able to um submit sort of ideas and they get i don't know if they get categorized um uh thought exchange yes yes that was it yeah so i think the idea is worthy uh i looked into the cost of thought exchange just that the base platform is 24 000 it's quite expensive and for the amount of time we've imagined we might use it in an annual in a year's time we didn't think it was worth it um we know for strategic planning since we're using the yet advanced consultant to give us a hand come later this semester into january to get started um we probably could get one or two uses off of their um you know uh their subscription okay but other than that so that was that's the balance there okay yeah no that that makes sense a lot it it makes sense the suggestion is right there it is a good tool it really is for that yeah and maybe just open like on our maybe put six to six forty you know six to six forty five you know not like a hard start at six o'clock people can maybe like come and go i know it can be um maybe like office hours yeah yeah just make it seem a little more open right okay because i know we've had people in the past where they feel kind of they came just to listen right and then they felt like on the spot because we put them on right well you know i think the other thing uh joy i think you know you're going at the same idea where debbie was also talking about maybe a school message earlier than right up against the round table so i i know debit dev and mike and amy we have our policy and communications meeting i think in about two weeks maybe we could talk about it then and then shortly thereafter get something out to get people's juices flowing and start thinking about things no one would ever think you know that isn't involved on a day-to-day basis like we are that you start the budget process for next year this early when the school year is only four weeks old so the earlier we announce it probably i would think we'd get more response yeah i was thinking in line with debbie's idea maybe just a call for comment could be through school messenger and you could um supply that comment via email and gather the dedicated email something like that i love the thought of an email that people just send us i think that's a great idea yeah i mean if it wasn't no i was just saying like email us at budget input at brookfieldps.org or something you know just um i just thought i'm not sure that people really understand how they can participate i know we say it all the time and it's like intuitive to us but i think we're seeing more and more that most people just aren't aware of the process um so the more we can educate them even if we think we're repeating ourselves i think the more we can educate them and and simplify the process and make people know that they can be involved in a productive way i think that would be good yeah and thinking if we're doing the same thing you know expecting the same results is you know as albert einstein says insanity so we have to do something to do you know to expect different results if we want more people to come out and be involved then we have to change our process all right so i heard we're going to open up that time frame to maybe 6 to 6 create an email and maybe hold this via zoom maybe maybe the three of those will will get some more particles didn't we hold up via zoom last year and nobody came yes that's right because we were there for like we didn't do a ton of advertising of it so i think policing communications think about how we can have a drum beat of communications on it maybe maybe you start with uh the budget process is starting here's a place you can send inputs and then the next one is a reminder that there's a budget roundtable you know office hours if you want to come make a comment or a suggestion you know we're all ears you know there's some you know you could have a drum beat of trying to get attention which i think would be great and i like the email idea because if we are all sitting in a zoom we can hopefully some emails will come in and we can sit and discuss them rather than us all sitting here looking at each other 6 45 if no one comes i'll be happy to put a little proposal together and bring it to the communications committee um and um then we can talk about that and really hash it out because i think i think the the policy and communications meeting is october 20th prior to the second board meeting of october and i think that's a perfect time gives us about three or four weeks lead time before the round table and so we can get it out shortly thereafter if everybody's comfortable with that sounds good i will i will just say to the board i'm fully expecting that we know already what the big things in this budget are right we've got a new school coming online it will have its budget implications and we'll have a new bus schedule and new start times are going to come online that will have budget implications i mean there's some big things we've been pushing on that all come to life in that school year so i think uh you know the the really getting on top of that it will consume a lot of our energy and ability to do other new things i think right we'll find ourselves saying can we really bite off other new ideas um it doesn't say you don't exercise them and turn and check it but we ought to all walk in knowing we got a couple of huge events happening um in the in that school year so and i think the board of finance we also ought to walk in they will also have that new debt starting to cut in that they're going to be so focused on so i think they're going to be you know i know marcia marianne has been working on how do i kind of cap off the debt peaks you know so that it doesn't become a town wide issue and i think that will be a it'll also be a big discussion point on the board of finance side when we get there so um so i think it's uh we know a lot of the stuff we're going to be dealing with so and i was texting i apologize attorney murphy was just making sure he wasn't missing the uh oh yes just so you guys know so all right so um any other further discussion on the budget calendar um so then we have a motion to approve these dates uh all in favor okay that looks to be unanimous so um the only other item on our agenda is sorry i just want to make sure i read it correctly um is our executive session um actually amy do you want to read the motion yep i will move that the board enter into executive session for the purpose of discussing an attorney-client privileged communication okay all in favor hi okay so that concludes the public portion of our meeting um i will invite in dr john brill and attorney dan murphy into the executive session and i will meet you guys over on that link good night everyone

being in anaheim union high school district means that students are in innovative spaces they are being creative and they are trying to find their voice and purpose so this is just a glimpse into two of the most innovative programs if not the most innovative programs uh in california and across the country that you'll find this year uh the first part the video you'll see here is what's happening here at kennedy it's a short minute and 30 second clip and then followed by what's happening at cyber security which a little more in depth so with that mr bautista if you can press play so [Music] so thank you that that was put together in a rather short time for this evening um thank you to paula rosenberg and matthew corcoran who work here with our students the next video you'll see is a little more lengthy it's about seven minutes but i think it's appropriate to show what magnolia high school has done in developing their cyber security pathway their exclusive pathway some of the celebrities of the video are in the audience so thank you for uh doing this for our district and our kids and a little shout out to dale junior high school in the house and also walker from across the street as you know these are six year educational plans that our counselors partner with parents for so dale and walker are very much a part of our pathway so with that here is cyber it's uh up there it says ai town hall video no [Music] it started you know got two over two years ago when a mammal cologne actually called me and said we're thinking about starting a cyber security program at magnolia would you be interested in being one of the you know teachers of it so i was like i was done with junior high i was ready to move on to a new challenge and jumped right on it you know a few weeks getting what are we doing what are we what do we need to teach these kids and we just started you know from there and then cypress college came in with uh dual enrollment with the mentors and we just started talking with a business industries and going okay what do you need our kids to know before they come to you and they started filling in those gaps we started doing conferences with cyber security with nice and with cte and they started filling in those gaps and so we've had a lot of outside support going here's what we're really looking for you know we can teach a lot of the hard skills you need to teach them the soft skills in addition to a good foundation so if you can get those foundational skills accomplished with your kids we can take it from there cyber security started here two three years ago we're now into our third year we are now we now have two classes in the pathway cyber literacy one and then cyber literacy two the pathway has come to include dual enrollment classes for cyber security and also includes preparation for industry certifications the cyber security pathway here at dell gives students opportunity to learn some of the basic skills to protect computer systems against potential hackers and cyber attacks students learn how to harden linux cisco and other windows programs this is a terrific opportunity for students to learn 21st century skills i'd say that cyberpatriots is really fun because we get to know all about cyber security and how to defend computer against attacks and that it's honestly really fun in general so basically what cyber security is it like it's like we learn about more about programs and it like it teaches us how to secure software's and then like other people's privacy like bank accounts and stuff we like learn about systems and more about the computers and like how to secure people's privacy like bank accounts and other private stuff and we just use firewall for that if students decide to continue on with this pathway they'll be able to apply to the magnolia cybersecurity institute at magnolia high school and as a part of the dual enrollment program at magnolia high school and with cypress college once students graduate from magnolia high school they'll already have a year's worth of college credits and their first year of tuition is completely covered also as a part of the anaheim union high school district pledge once students can complete their coursework in cyber security at cypress college and earn their industry certifications they'll immediately be able to take on an entry level position or if they'd like to continue on their education they can get guaranteed enrollment at cal state fullerton or preferred entrance to uci i would say the pathway is very like hands-on and that's like the fun part of it because a lot of classes you just sit there and listen where this one you learn but you also get to interact and you get to work with stuff that you will be doing in the workforce if you continue on with this it's nice to have a teacher or even two in a whole program designed to help you learn these programming languages and also just gives me a community whereas it's sometimes hard in the tech fields it's always just user names and profiles that you have to learn through but to have like a one-on-one from actual person is great so in terms of workforce skills i'm really proud of the classes that we have here because we don't just teach technical theory we teach them the hands-on skills that they would need on the job this one teach you a lot of collaboration because you have to work in a team when you're in a company you're not by yourself doing little work you are working in a group you each have your tasks you each have your job there's so much problem solving going on with computers because nothing works the first time and you've got to figure out why it didn't work learn from your mistakes learn from your failures and keep moving forward so that we also teach them grit you don't just give up i can't do it sometimes there's no one you can turn to for help you've got to figure it out yourself so everything that we do in the classes is something that they would need to do if they were going to be hired as a tier one you know help desk technician there's an estimated 1.8 million global cybersecurity jobs that will go unfilled over the next 10 years so with the high demand and the limited supply it puts our students in the driver's seat to take on uh these positions um if they do in fact complete this pathway a lot of the workforce skills especially in business we're going to learn is like work using word and excel using just basically using the computer because a bunch of things are going to be using computers nowadays it's going to be taken over by technology very soon what i like best about this pathway is the clear road map that the district has laid out for our students to follow and the tremendous career opportunities that our students can take advantage of think of the pathway is those people you get to meet along the way the trips we take to business business businesses because you really have this outside view of looking into companies and then now you're going into the companies and seeing how it all goes around what i enjoy most about this pathway is is that it's hands-on i love just getting involved i love being a part part of the action and getting to getting to have a feel of it for what what there is later in life and i love how how you get to also interact with people and you get to know them and you get to have a feel for how they are and you get to to really just bond with them and you know how to work with them and what what you and them can do together because you may be good on your own but two minds working together that's even better i definitely have to say my favorite thing about the program is working with students who are curious about technology and working with students who are hungry for knowledge and i'm also really happy that i'm teaching things that are on the forefront of what students need to learn in terms of skills they would use in the workforce how do i take my knowledge and push it forward into you know new stuff new innovation will be going with innovation for next year but kids will actually be creating what they're passionate about and whether that is with the raspberry pi spheros we don't even know yet some of the technology hasn't been invented yet that we're going to be teaching so a lot of it is we learn it with the kids because it hasn't been done yet and i like that aspect of the class because there's nothing set in stone it's not that our curriculum today will not be our curriculum five years from now it will have changed that that drastically that quickly thank you magnolia high school and thank you for your cooperation with those interesting voiceovers just want to acknowledge that at this time i do want to bring bring up and introduce our superintendent of anaheim union high school district who's definitely on the front lines of innovation and learning mr michael matsuda thank you dr hernandez uh i want to put a shout out to our principals for helping to build these amazing pathways i know uh adam hernandez has and his staff has been working very hard to create the the region's most advanced pathway in artificial intelligence along with all the teachers so shout out to adam and your team also i know that we have uh jeremy cell representing walker junior high which feeds into um kennedy then we have um i think karen dabney's in the audience a principal of magnolia high school and of course her team and teachers that have helped build an amazing pathway at cyber security at magnolia high school please give a round of applause to her team this could not happen without the leadership and support of our board and we have two of our board members here in the audience today we have mr brian o'neill board of trustees anne-marie randall trejo board of trustees and i want to just quickly introduce some of the district people mr eric greenwood director of i.t here for the district and he he and his team have done an amazing job protecting our district from hacking and just fighting the good fight on the behalf of public schools mr scott rendell who's oversees all of the workforce pathways here of course our pio mr john batista who's busily trying to uh multitask there john thank you so much real quickly i'm so thankful to the students and parents who are here and also i know there's some watching there on the live stream as well as many of us in the audience know that cyber security and cyber threat is a growing national international problem and challenge it's projected to cost the united states nearly a trillion dollars over the next five to ten years and lost revenue both impacting us personally many people have had horror stories of being you know identity hacked and all of that but as well as corporate and nonprofit and definitely schools in fact schools are probably ranked the lowest in terms of cyber security awareness and protection and this is a big problem nationally because schools are going to get hacked and student data is going to um you know it's vulnerable and thanks thankfully to eric and his team we are protecting you and your identity but more importantly we are building your capacity as future leaders you're going to hear from our guest speaker an amazing guy about all the job opportunities in cyber security i'm very proud of our team because we are leading southern california and developing the uh world-class cyber security and artificial intelligence pathways through our schools i want to just give a i'm sure you're gonna we're gonna hear more of about the challenges here but the united states is the number one target worldwide in cyber threats i mean by far we have more cyber threats than any country i think the number two country is india and we're more than double unfortunately 43 percent of the businesses that are hacked and through ransomware and malware which you'll hear more about are small businesses and they're very vulnerable because they do not have the staffing to protect themselves same thing with our schools and our municipalities police forces do not have the capacity to uh really protect our data right and that's what it's all about and you know as we fight this war on covid we're also fighting the fight of false information a lot of that false information is being planted through governments like russia and stuff like that through social media and uh creating cdc websites that are absolutely false this is all part of the cyber security problems that the united states faces because this information is undermining our ability to fight a real threat in the covet virus one of many many examples as we go forward together when i grew up in garden grove as a little kid i remember the boys and girls club and after school programs telling us about don't accept candy from strangers right stay away from those people and cars that are trying to lure you into the car and i think in this world of social media we forget especially the message to parents that um our kids are accepting candy all the time through social media and we don't even realize it and we're letting strangers into our households and we don't even realize it so this is a real threat not only to each one of us as individuals but to our society i'm so thankful to introduce for the second time in auhsd a special guest mr rahul gupta mr gupta is the senior trial deputy for the orange county district attorney's office he specializes in prosecuting cyber crime in the major fraud unit mr gupta has a background in technology and currently teaches attorneys in law enforcement across the country about this important issue he specializes in digital evidence and social media mr gupta received his bachelor's degree in history from ucla and his jd from notre dame law school he started his career as a corporate litigator and then as an account manager for an internet company more importantly though mr gupta is vested he's got two small children his wife have two children in fact he's going to be rushing off to take do be the nanny tonight right so uh he really volunteers his time because he believes in the future of this country um as well as the future of his children and all of our children please ladies and gentlemen warm welcome from mr rahul gupta thank you oh thank thank you mike that was a fantastic introduction thank you all for coming today i really do appreciate it i hope you'll enjoy the presentation i just want to start off by thanking mike and thanking the board thanking our state and local law enforcement and also thanking my boss todd spitzer he's the elected district attorney of orange county who's really committed to prosecuting cyber crime and making sure that our community stays safe not just in our neighborhoods but also online so my presentation today is really to discuss two things one is cyber security and cyber crime trends that are affecting you and your family here in orange county but also the new advances that ai has brought to cyber security both on the offensive and the defensive side but my presentation is really meant to be practical for you to help you understand how this might affect you and touch your life in in what you do every day and leave you with some just practical things that you could do to make yourself make yourselves and your family a little bit more cyber safe each and every day right now i'm a lawyer so i got to start with the legal disclaimer right so i'm a lawyer but i'm not your lawyer so nothing i intend to say here is to be taken as legal advice or financial advice it's just some observations i've made throughout my career that i think could be helpful to you in your community so michael michael just mentioned about cyber crime as a whole over the estimate is going to be over six trillion dollars globally the impact that we see and that we feel on a daily basis is tremendous you know in la county they lose more money per month to cyber crime victimization than they do to bank robberies okay so the money is in cyber crime and the money on the defensive side is in cyber security so it's a growing field they're constantly looking for employees and that's that's an opportunity right as michael also mentioned there's a lot of false information out there the concept within cyber security is hey never let a natural disaster go to waste because what happens when there's a natural disaster people turn to the internet for information and when you're looking for trusted information those people who are trying to take advantage of you try and use false information to dupe you so covet 19 has been no different we've seen a tremendous amount of rise in criminal activity and just also again as michael was saying is we have to have a paradigm shift in the way that we think about cyber crime each and every one of you probably when you were growing up your parent told you hey when you get to intersection look both ways right look left right and left again so here's an example that you can take home with you if you or your parent or a loved one you get an email hey look for three things right off the bat who is the greeting to is the greeting generic or generic ended for you it's intended for a mass audience right then secondly look for spelling mistakes when when these mass emails go out to lure you to to click or download something oftentimes they contain spelling mistakes and that's a telltale sign that this is a cyber security threat and lastly is there a download link or do they want you to download some information and if they do what is that information because oftentimes those downloads contain malware or some type of virus to infect your computer so in the same way that you look both ways when you come to an intersection start looking for these three attributes when you get an email that may be suspicious or maybe enticing to you especially in times of national emergencies or national disasters when information is at a premium think twice before you before you go further with that email right one thing that i want to highlight for you is these are statistics put out by the fbi every year from a website called ic3.gov that is our internet criminal complaint center and it totals the statistics of cyber crime throughout the united states and as you can see by this chart the most vulnerable of of the population are those above 60 years of age so if you live in a residence where you have a grandparent or your grandparents are close to you take extra special precaution to assist them in making sure that they don't become a victim of cyber crime because they are being specifically targeted now california is a wonderful place and we're number one in a lot of things unfortunately we're also number one in being the number one target for cyber crime not only do we have the most victims in the united states but also we have the total the the highest total of loss for each of our victims so it's definitely not uh it's not it's not good to be first place in this category right but it's not just statewide it affects us here in orange county as well uci just suffered a cyber attack the company kia and hyundai they suffered a cyber attack of ransomware so it's affecting not just everyone in throughout the state but it's affecting us locally here as well when we think about cyber crime and we think about any type of self-defense right what is always the weakest chain it's it's us as human beings right because what happens you start to get tired you had so many emails in a day you get so many text messages it's very easy to put your guard down but we have to always be resilient we always have to be looking out to say hey this email or this link that i'm about to click is it safe or is it not safe right and what i really want you to know is your email account is really the castle it holds the keys to everything right because all your passwords and everything link back to an email whenever you log into your bank account they're going to say which email are you using whenever you log into your retirement account or any type of account that's always going to come back to your email so if i could leave you with one thing it's make sure your main email account that you use is extremely safe and there's two easy ways to do that you can use something called two-factor authentication and have a very strong password what is two-factor authentication that is where you may have encountered some of these websites or account in addition to your password they're going to send you a code to your phone or to another device that you have to ensure that the person trying to log into your email account is really you and you can get google authenticator that's a two factor authentication software that's completely free so you could set that up right now for you and your family secondly you gotta have a strong password over the past eleven years one two three four five six has been the one of the most common passwords so hopefully by now you've been trained to have one capital letter one lower case one special character and maybe a pass phrase instead of just a simple password so those are two easy steps that you can take today to make yourself more cyber secure also if you've had an email account for a long time you can go to this website and put in the email account and it will tell you whether your email has been compromised in a previous data hack these days every day you're seeing new and new data privacy breaches how are you supposed to know whether or not your email was in there well what this website does is it collects all the companies that have been hacked and it runs through to see whether or not your email is in there or not and it doesn't compromise your email it's just to help you figure out hey do i need to change the password to my email because it may have been compromised these are some common cyber trends that we're seeing right here in orange county unfortunately ransomware is only growing what is ransomware it's when a virus or a malware attacks your computer and locks all of your data and the only way that you can get access to your data is by paying a ransom usually in some type of cryptocurrency unfortunately the statistics for ransomware just keep growing and growing and growing it's becoming a national problem and a global problem some of you may have heard of this issue that came up earlier in the year colonial pipeline the whole pipeline was shut down in a matter of minutes because of the ransomware it caused gas shortages it cost gas prices to increase it was a massive structural failure not just for the company but affected many people in many different states ransomware is not going away anytime soon and it's something that you need to be aware about ransomware attacks can happen as often as 14 times every second okay and how are they going to attack you the same way it's going to be an email with a fake download link and some way to ask you to infect your computer so the more cautious you are about your email the more that you can help prevent ransomware now education you just being here is one of the best things that we have to protect against cyber security threats just becoming educated on what to look for if you can go back and take this to your family share with your friends tell them explain to them hey here are some things to look out for if you get an email that will help us tremendously but the silver bullet all the time for ransomware is simple if your data is locked but you have a copy or a backup then you don't have to pay the ransom so how you can go to costco or you could go to a local store and buy an external hard drive and just copy over your important data so for example your photos let's say or you could upload them to the cloud you can store them on google drive or microsoft onedrive just have a separate place where you back up your data and then you'll never be in the position where you have to pay to get it back so there the threat vectors are expanding just beyond email so it's email it's your phone and it's your text messages so when it's an email we call that phishing which is someone is sending you a malicious email and trying to get your credentials when it comes from a text message we call that smishing text message is also known as sms short messaging service and when it's over the phone we call that vishing and i'll give you an example of wishing in a second so vishing is just doing it over the phone so let's see if this is going to work this is an example of wishing and how easy it is for someone to use the phone to try and access one of your accounts and get credentials they're going to happen using social engineering which is essentially hacking without any code they just use a phone and an internet connection do you want to do a sample of the she called what's fishing phishing is voice solicitation and basically um what you do is use the phone to extract information or data points that can be used in a later attack let's do it who are you gonna call maybe i'll call your cell phone provider and see if i can get them to give me your email address i bet they're good i bet they have my back but yeah go go for it i'm gonna spoof from your number so it's gonna look like it's calling from you okay hi i'm actually i'm so sorry can you hear me okay i my baby i'm sorry my my husband's like we're about to apply for a loan and we just had a baby and he's like get this done by today so i'm so sorry i can't um call you back i'm trying to log into our account for uses information and i can't remember what email address we use to log the account the baby's crying and um can you help me awesome in just 30 seconds gmail.com jessica gets access to my personal email address now if i needed to um add our older daughter on our account so she could call in and make changes how would i need to go about doing that you would have to send me a secure pin through a text kit yeah well the thing is i don't think i'll be able to receive a text message if i'm on the phone oh i'm not on there either so i thought when we got married um he added me to the account jess uses my girlfriend's name and a fake social security number 5127 to set up her own personal access to my account wait i'm sorry so there's no password on my account right now can i set that up she even gets the support person to change my password thank you so much for your help today so she just basically blocked me out of my own account i'll get her fed after this all right thank you all right so that's an example of wishing which is where someone uses a social uh an attack over the phone to pretend to be you or someone in your family to get access to your account so you can see how cyber security and cyber crime has been is evolving to go just pass a simple email to compromise your accounts and get access to your accounts another big threat that we face and that we are assisting businesses with all the time is called business email compromise and again what this is is using an email to try and lure someone in a company to send money using a wire transfer so here you can see king plastics if the company's name was kingplastics.com i just made that up as a fake example right what they would do is they would register the domain of king plastics with two s's okay and then they would send an email to someone inside that company pretending to be the ceo or someone else and saying hey i need you to do this transaction very quickly usually they send this email on a thursday afternoon or friday right around four o'clock when everyone is heading out the door and it appears to be from the ceo and they say hey we need you to do this immediately right to try and send out the wire okay so if you're in a smaller medium business you should always be cautious that on thursday or friday hey if you get a request for wire transfer be very suspicious of that okay now i can tell you that we have had some successes in orange county okay this was a real estate uh bec compromise in which the victim thought that she was sending the money for her dream house 1.2 million dollars but what it turned out was the real estate agent had been hacked the email that came to her was fraudulent and the wiring instructions were fake now luckily because we had done some outreach they contacted us very quickly we were able to leverage our partnership with federal authorities and to stop the wire and get her money back so this is an example where if you act quickly and you contact law enforcement quickly when you realize that you've been duped there are times where we can actually assist you now this was using a wire transfer which uses banks and so the banking system in the united states is very strong and so we could do that but if you're in a situation such as in ransomware where they're asking you to use cryptocurrency then that could be much more difficult to trace and get back how can you help prepare yourself and your family so google has set up this thing called the phishing quiz and what you can do on this it's totally free it doesn't compromise you in any way it basically shows you fake emails that are from fake companies and it helps you understand how to decipher what is fake about the email and so this is something that you could show to some someone in your family your parent maybe even your grandparents say hey why don't you take this quiz to see how effective you are in determining whether an email is fake or not these are the type of skills that if you start developing can really go a long way to making you more cyber safe so some basic common things to do to avoid being phished smished or wished right if somebody calls you over the phone never give your personal information over the phone never ever give payment information over the phone just always remember there's always a scam especially around tax time that someone will pretend to be from the irs or the fbi or maybe even from the the sheriff's department saying unless you pay this amount you may be arrested or whatever just always remember any any legitimate authority will never demand money or payment and most of the times any legitimate authority will be contacting you is through the mail not through the phone okay so that's another thing that you can always impress upon especially the elder in our community who usually are at home and usually have a landline are in are more susceptible to being duped over the phone those are some really basic things that you can communicate to them to help keep them safe obviously as i mentioned your email is your castle it has all the keys to what accounts that you're referencing so try and always have two-factor authentication and also have a strong password to secure your email because once someone gets access to your email then they can start accessing your other accounts and when they say forgot password it will come back to your email address so once your email is compromised it really is the keys to the castle to all the accounts that you hold right and again to defeat ransomware backups always make sure that you have a backup okay if you're gonna send a wire transfer especially in a real estate transaction before you send the wire call the recipient make sure the instructions are accurate and make sure they know that you're about to send the money so that you don't end up in a bec compromise all right so artificial intelligence how does that play into cyber security so just as the video that you saw with wishing cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated artificial intelligence is taking on a whole new dimension as it relates to cyber security and cyber crime for many years we've been studying the difference between animals and humans and we've realized that animals generally are motivated by instinct whereas human beings we can do problem solving and for many years we've said that's the difference between humans and computers as well computers when given a task can do discrete tasks but computers couldn't necessarily problem solve and learn from their mistakes in the same way humans can but that's all changing with artificial intelligence here's a definition of artificial intelligence that i found online that's that you could find in any dictionary and it's basically teaching computers to think like human beings to learn from their mistakes and to problem solve here's a definition from artificial intelligence that was created by a computer the computer was given data to think about and it came up with this as a definition and if you google this definition it's not located anywhere on the internet so this is a computer thinking about a question it was asked as to define artificial intelligence and it defined it this way it's accurate but it didn't exist anywhere on the internet so it wasn't that the computer just went out and copied copied some information this is a computer actually thinking and coming up with this we've seen many examples of computers now moving not just to the equivalency of human beings but moving beyond so some of you may recognize this individual he's a world chess champion gary kasparov he lost to deep blue which was an ibm computer in chess on jeopardy ibm's watson was able to defeat mr jennings over here who was known as the the world champion in jeopardy you may be using ai and not know it if you have alexa at home or you have a google home every time that you ask one of those speakers to find information for you that is ai at work what it does is it starts to recognize your voice it starts to understand the things that you want and it starts to get that data faster based on the pattern of things that you've asked for in the past so it gets smarter with time and essentially what ai does there's a subset called machine learning which is the computer starts to learn based on patterns and data from the past in the same way we learn as human beings from our mistakes and from reading additional data the computers are starting to learn but what you should start to realize is there's good uses of this and there could be bad uses of this or nefarious uses right so what's a good use for cyber security defense right when you really look at the amount of cyber attacks that we're facing we as human beings how many emails can we check for for spelling mistakes and generic greetings and looking for download links on a daily basis after some some time we just can't do it so this is an area where ai if we train the computers on what to look for they can start finding some of these cyber threats not only that they can start finding those cyber threats in a whole network of an it infrastructure so these are places where ai can be used for defense and really help protect all of our infrastructure so ai opportunities in cyber security are growing very rapidly but there's more applications of ai in the legal field in my field they've trained ai computers to look at contracts and they did a study and they found that the computer was better at judging contracts and finding errors than actual human beings actual attorneys the computer had surpassed the quality and the standard of the attorneys themselves not only that now as michael had mentioned there's a lot of false information computers are being taught how to generate actual stories and articles and they can be taught to generate fake stories and articles that look identical to real stories so you can see where this skill set can be used in nefarious ways to alter how we think about information and the world when we think about ai and we think about cyber security there's a new threat out there called deep fakes and what that means is they teach the computer to alter what the image is of what somebody looks like so i'm going to show you an example of that and see if you can tell the difference between the speaker and the person who's actually involved we're entering an era in which our enemies can make it look like anyone is saying anything at any point in time jordan peele created this fake video of president obama to demonstrate how easy it is to put words in someone else's mouth moving forward we need to be more vigilant with what we trust from the internet not everyone bought it but the technology behind such frauds is rapidly improving even as worries increase about their potential for harm this is your bloomberg quick take on deep fakes right so you could see as the gentleman was speaking the words were coming out of president obama's mouth right that is ai technology in real time learning the facial features of the person talking and then using voice altering software to mimic what is being said okay so i showed you an example of wishing where someone over the phone is pretending to be someone else imagine being on a zoom call with some somebody that you think is a real person but in reality it's a deep fake right and we do a lot more business over zoom you could be duped into a transaction with a computer it's not just facial features also you can use deep fakes to uh in um impersonate voices so this is an actual crime that occurred in europe they used deep fake technology to mimic the person's voice to get someone in the company to send out money now this is a real video that you can see on youtube this is a technology that google created all right and you're gonna hear the voice and what i want you to pay attention to is and you'll hear him describe it this is the ceo of google that the voice who's making the appointment is actually not a real person but a computer okay so you saw an example of d fakes where the person is impersonating president obama now you're going to see a computer actually talking as if they're a human being so let's go back to this example let's say you want to ask google to make your haircut appointment on tuesday between 10 and noon what happens is the google assistant makes the call seamlessly in the background for you so what you're going to hear is the google assistant actually calling a real salon to schedule the appointment for you let's listen [Applause] [Music] i'll have something else here hi i'm calling the book a woman's haircut for a client um i'm looking for something on may 3rd so give me one sure what time are you looking for around at 12 p.m we do not have a 12 p.m available the closest we have to that is a 115.

remember that we have undergone a encumbrance period in which we are still collecting revenues still paying off invoices through the 31st of august and so all this will clear up once we've submitted the afr the annual financial report which will be coming to you on the 12th of october so as usual we always put up the the top two that we highlight them in yellow to bring that to your attention the maintenance operations fund is our general fund note that we did reflect the revised budget number one that increased about a little bit over a million dollars and then note that the available balance at this point in time is about 35 million dollars keep in mind again it's still early and most of these monies have been allocated out there are still vacancies throughout the system in addition there are supplemental pays that are not encumbered that occur throughout the year so right now un un planned to spend is about 10 million dollars which represents about a four percent carryover so that's where we are today on that 34 million dollar balance in addition the classroom site fund this is a reminder again as the classroom site fund rules have changed due to statutory changes last spring and remember that what used to be three funds 11 12 and 13 has now rolled into one fund fund 10 so the pay for performance dollars are now reflected in fund 10 instead of fund 12.

i retired last october from 47 seasons broadcasting hockey and during that time was fortunate to receive eight national play-by-play innings i closed a picture if you think the school would like one of them perhaps the 2014 one 50 years after southwood i would be glad to send it said they have no plans to travel anywhere soon but they come in in luxurious boxes up to my camera and so here's the picture so i reached out to him by email and so we should be uh displaying one of his emmys which is really really cool his father i think was the principle of building a at one time and then also uh he was a sophomore so we spoke at our uh to our staff and students uh say eight or nine years ago so very very cool let's help me share that with you i lived right across from school and i got the house said one time when he was on vacation with [Music] uh so just like mr snyder we had uh we celebrated our homecoming last week and so it's also college and career goal week so lots of dressing up students dressed up as memes cowboys tie-dye class colors and then southwood school colors uh we weren't able to have our bonfire and our powerpoint football game due to what they're not cooperating with us but we did have peach fuzz volleyball and a loud and energetic pipe session so it was a lot of fun it was good to move back into that we'll see it so i'd like to thank mr johnson and mr stetter the student congress sponsors so it's a lot of fun also for the college and career go week we celebrated our kids um going off to college and going off into the workplace and developing their skills and i went back and i looked at a little bit of data 46 of our senior class uh takes classes at heartland 44 of the junior class and 24 of our sophomore class take classes at harvard career center also the data of our ap exams reflect that 54 of our kids earned a three plus three or higher on that examination so that guarantees college credit and that doesn't include the kids who are taking the dual credit classes through uh us history and um english 12 which accounts for a uh i think it's a w-131 through iu code so that's pretty cool i also wanted to congratulate um talk about our football team being out of champs this year but uh i'm chase schneider uh i will celebrate um last week tuesday we were able to beat northfield um and then thursday would be uh wabash this thursday we play manchester so hopefully we have a positive outcome but i did want to give a shout out to jay's kids because they had they had some really funny chants they were they were just funny and warmer and silly we had swept them in jv and then as soon as our varsity came out northfield scored the first point and their kids started chaining scoreboard so there's a certain chance well we our kids at uh southwood got up about 23 or 24 their kids started chanting warm up the bus and so it was just it was funny it was a good atmosphere it was it was just fun it was just fun so um good week last week with all of those activities what i wanted to talk about was something new that we're doing this year one of the things that we always look at is that that group of students who aren't as academically inclined not performing as well as i think as they should to that end when you're in high school getting credits is the thing that's that's what you've got to have you get your credits get your 40 you're on pace to graduate and so every two to three weeks or so we run an athlete we take a look at the kids for advancing classes in years past we charted that data and what we noticed from two years ago during that pandemic shortened year during quarters one two and then that semester that that data compared to the following year last year coming back from the uh the school the short year our f list numbers were really really increased and so what we did is we dissolved our bit team our behavior intervention team that looked at academics and behavior and we created a grade level team meetings so seventh and eighth grade teachers met once a month uh 9th and 10th 11th and 12th and so we looked at that data we looked at who was failing what we can do and then we always had a resolution with each kid that we talked about so my personal goal for my evaluation is to have a 15 reduction each quarter kids work failing classes with that number total total number of classes and so to that end these these meetings have been productive where i think we're being more agile in addressing some of those kids needs and we're collaborating more and so a lot of the information about some of our students is more widely shared with people who need to have it and so i haven't we haven't ended our our first quarter yet um but if we were to end it today running the list we would see a 21 reduction this year compared to last year this time so um i think a lot of that is the work that we're doing but i think another part of it and i think kudos to the board for giving giving us the opportunity to be in school regularly and the policies and procedures that we have in place this year have certainly certainly killed me so you're thinking 15 every quarter fifteen percent so you compare 20 21 to nine that's all right if you're twenty one percent just okay that's right all right well thank you very much to both of you so um that concludes that part of our meeting so i guess we can go on and they're welcome to leave us if they want to but thank you that takes us to the public comments or gender night at the moment watching our facebook go on we will pause for a second we'll catch up to you okay we'll move on to consent agenda items approval of the minutes from our last regular meeting on september 14th the motion and second to approve the new year the immediate minutes from september 14th favor say hi financials claims the only thing i wanted to add with that is you saw a roof payment so i just kind of wanted to let you know where we're at in that process they finished the sections that they needed to complete at southwood and now have moved over to northfield northfield has a another section that they're working on which was all still part of the bid process so it may take them a little bit longer at the north field than it did at south florida uh to complete all that was done through the 2021 bond that we took out and on top of that as another part of what we were using the 2021 bond for was the metro north restrooms and so we had bids big notices put out we had a pre-bid meeting last week so that anybody interested could come in and take a look at those restrooms and then those bids will be due at the end of october and then we would bring something to you for approval or rejection uh of those bids in november to look at you know doing something with those restrooms did you have very little people uh we had five people show up so it's pretty good numbers they're pretty pleased with that we've had a few more that have shown interest who knows who will actually submit bids at that point in time but it was a good good first step steve anything you want to add i assume that when you paid to tell was just for the design that they're bidding on yep yep so it's ada compliant well we're doing alternative bids in there starting with kind of a basic alternative a basic bid and moving those alternatives up to a little bit more improvements because those restrooms do have the urinals that go down to the floor and so to replace those now you're getting into the walls and the floor which then requires to get the ada compliance and those type of things so those alternatives will be an option uh as part of the process once we get all those numbers in to make a decision on what we want to do that's all i had for claims payroll nothing new with payroll second to approve payroll financial summer uh gave you the just the cash flow uh for the operations and education fund layout so when we're speaking of the education fund there uh it shows everything up to date and what i mean by that is i've put in the potential raise increases that we're looking at with our tentative agreement the only thing that would be new would be abm changes because the adm representation there for the basic grant still shows what our estimate was back in the spring for 2000 students so we feel confident that our numbers are going to be pretty similar to what they were last fall so we could look at probably an additional 20 students from that 2000 count but that is not reflective in that so that would probably be about 130 000 increase if that number came back uh in that so you're still looking to end the year around seven million dollars probably not give or take october 4th is the deadline to have um everything completed for the pdm so that's next monday it's always good to see an increase in fund balances estimated by balance sure for sure you know who knows what the future holds obviously with that but i think we've gotten it in a good strong position to be able to make some improvements in teacher pay and staff pay down road operations fund i don't have anything new that leads us into finalizing the 2022 budget uh i showed you the slides that we already went over in the hearing the budget here so we don't need to go over any of that information again that was just more for your review to finalize the budget we'll need approval to adopt the 2022 budget as well as approval to adopt the bus replacement plan approval to adopt the capital projects plan and then approval to adopt the resolution for the form 4 which basically shows our appropriation budget and tax free impact so i guess i would just ask recommend uh approval for those four items you want to keep all these separate yeah so i'll make the motion to approve the recommendation for the 2022 budget that's been presented second motion on second to approve the budget for 2022 recommendation to approve the 2022 bus replacement plan i'll move to approve the best replacement motion a second to approve the 2022 bus replacement plan all in favor say aye aye recommendation to approve the 2022 capital projects plan i believe to approve the 2022 capital projects plan all in favor say hi all right recommendation to approve the resolution for appropriations and tax rates motion second to approve the resolution for appropriations and tax rates form four all in favor say hi okay moving on to personnel under resignation we have jessica freeman secretary at southport high school erica speakman paraprofessional at southport elementary bennett connier food service manager southwood high school amy schmidt technology assistant at southport elementary under employment we have megan ellis secretary at southport high school and under termination we have employee number 128 and you see the effective date of that termination that's all we have personnel [Music] to approve personnel recommendations all in favor say hi [Music] reports heartland career center report have something of course well just a little bit uh i won't have the technology teacher come in and show us their video of the drone that they were playing with such as that also in that class they're looking at having an ffa chapter but it would tag along with the other high school chapters so they're investigating that and i think that's a pretty neat idea because you get some programs that are really good they don't want to take away but but they gotta get through all the national and stuff to see if they can get that done so that's it and you'll let me know when uh they can come in yeah i haven't asked them but i wouldn't like when you've got a sprayer drone or you still have a smaller house i have no idea a lot of things have already been said and so i just want to mention a couple of things and speaking of the drones actually the 4-h they had 4-h the 4th grade ag expo was today and had an opportunity to go both the morning session which was with south and 4th graders and this afternoon with shark creek fourth grade and they did have all the drones there and all the different activities it's just great to be back um to be able to do those things they did that virtually last year and of course it means so much more so that they can uh see that goes in the sheep and the tractors and drones and how they're doing the bees and making pizza and all those different things there's a lot of obviously there's a lot to farming a lot of technology involved with that a lot of different opportunities and also then last friday the k-3 and walk into my future at manchester university another great day and great weather for those kids to really have a lot of fun and experience what a i don't know if that would be a typical um college experience because they played a lot of games but uh some people do play a lot of games in college but um that's not why they're there necessarily so it's great to be back and having those opportunities for our kids to be able to go to those different places and appreciate the people that put all those on so that's really all i had tim has a lot built up for one time all right curriculum and instruction before we haven't seen you for a while so i'm sure you know i just wanted to give you some quick numbers um you're looking at the number of college credits our students earned last year so one thousand and almost one thousand two hundred college credits but that doesn't include the ones that they get through heartland um i could get those but they hand out quite a few um and so uh those are just as valuable but i try to focus on just the ones that we're responsible for through our school and of those then you can right now we had several ap scores you can see there i counted 37 exams with at least a three which then that's what most colleges except for college credit and i don't know if you remember last year i did purdue so this year i did indiana if you uh look at their their websites they just tell you they're just a chart just look if you've got this where you get this many credits from this course and so those ap scores would have translated to over 100 college credits and they would transfer applied directly to indian university but then underneath that you can see we offer lots of dual credit classes in our buildings and those kids going to those universities to collect those classes and so uh 1086 college credits won by msd students last year so just really proud i feel like we've kind of it's been a theme from the day like we have heartland kids and that's amazing we have kids who go straight with trades enlistments and then we have kids going to college like it doesn't mean anyone's better than the other we're just trying to get them all in the opportunities as we can so we just want to get all that data together make the world aware of those hangouts on that okay peaceable yeah all right so we're going to move under to new business first item under new business is a recommendation to approve the resolution authorizing appraisals of real estate okay as we mentioned in our work session we are continuing to study things through our strategic plan number four which is facilities and efficiencies and things like that so i'm asking for approval of this resolution i know you can read it but i'll read it out here it says resolution authorizing appraisal real estate whereas indiana code i will read all those authorizes board of trustees at the metropolitan schools for west county to purchase real estate after obtaining two appraisals of of the real estate and whereas indiana um another code prohibits the school corporation from purchasing any land for a price greater than the average of two appraisals and what that is that's here again that's all indiana code whereas the administration the school corporation has identified certain real estate located in wabash indiana is described on schedule one attached for the consideration to be purchased by the school corporation now therefore be resolved the board hereby authorizes the appointment of two appraisers to appraise the fair market value of the property and if necessary authorizes the use of such appraisals for any consideration purchase of such property so be it further resolved that the school corporation shall keep their appraisals on file the school corporation's offices for five years it further resolved that this board authorizes any officer of the board the superintendent of the school corporation or the assistant super finance school corporation to execute in order to attest any and all documents relating to the appraisal of the property so again there it is [Music] basically this is just a step in a study uh to see if this particular real estate would meet the indiana code of having those two appraisals and also uh not being you can't pay any more than the greater two appraisals the average of those two ratings so i do ask for permission to be able to consider now or not consider but to continue and have those two appraisals the appraisals would be done this fall yet then yes [Music] second move a motion in a second to recommend the approval of the resolution authorizing appraisals of real estate with any further discussion [Music] if not all papers say hi moving on to the teacher contract tentative agreement meeting all right um to go back in another indiana code and in a code um tells us that this has been the second or third that we've done this but we had a hearing earlier you have to have a hearing about the teacher contract prior to um going into formal uh bargaining which actually started september 15th you could have informal bargaining so that was the first step the second step then is once you reached a tentative agreement we have to have a hearing also for the tenant agreement the teachers have ratified already but we have to go through this process to make sure the board and the public knows what that tent of agreement is and then after that end of agreement if there's no other comments nothing that we need to look at then we will bring it back to you on october 12th to ratify officially through the school board to approve that contract okay so we'll just go over that pretty quickly here this was a this is just a slideshow basically you can see the overview as far as the new money of the contract increases in teacher salary also increases in most academic and athletic eca's and additional eca positions that have been created and then for 2020 2023 will be a base salary increase of one level um there is also a reopener in the contract to be able to negotiate salary increases above this level because this will be a two-year contract we've done this before this is the third year right chris that we've done third time we've done a two-year contract but typically we do open it up and the reason why you open it up is because you really don't know for sure what that abm is and what the revenue and expenses are going to be so it makes sense but at least you have a very good idea of what the second year could be look like you can see the salaries this year and i will want to thank dr chris kuhn also matt denney who they did a lot of work along with the other team mr daisy was representative of the school board also shelly myers and ryan sincroft a lot of this is about compression about relieving that compression so every time that we increased that starting salary and also because of some contracts and salaries that were frozen several years ago there was a lot of compression so we are relieving some of that compression with with the contract so you can see here on the second bullet every teacher was looked at to see how far behind they were on the current salary schedule this range from zero dollars to 11 000 in other words if they would leave msd of wabash county and they would come back to msd and we would put them on just like we would any other teacher that would be the difference or the range from the zero to eleven thousand uh but because of those increases in the in starting salary and because of the salaries that were frozen earlier that compression happened and that's happened all over the state of indiana with many many contracts just the way it's been done so with the new state laws for teacher salaries the starting pay must be raised to 40 000 by 2022 so our starting salary will be 39 000 as a starting salary and then next year it will be the 40 000 as per the new law which means that row a which is 39 000 right now would be eliminated it would just be 40 000 at the beginning so the top the salary schedule will move to 65 3 which presently it's 63 8 for the masters and 60 000 for bachelor's and the difference in the master's and bachelor's is a change go on here salary increases everyone will receive a 500 base increase and then based on that compression um there are other increases whether they were compressed nine to ten thousand you can see it's five thousand seven eighths four five to six three four to two is our four thousand is two thousand and one to three is one thousand so everyone will receive five hundred and it can be up to fifty five hundred so i already explained that so basically that that explains that uh what that means right there so 39 000 and then the other raises so eca's increased a total of 35 000 so the head of athletic coaches to increase the 7 000 for football and basketball while other head coaching positions were increased to 4 000 and baseball softball each had a 1500 added for the varsity assistant coach because that was not in there at the time and then all assistant pools were increased based on the number of varsity systems either approximately 300 or 100 fifth and sixth grade positions were increased as well almost all the academic eca's of course were increased um there were a lot of work done in the years previous so it wasn't as much as what it was previously but it was increased we added esports coaching position for each high school and the clay target lead was increased to 900 to more accurately represent its growth because there has been a lot more growth than that more time involved so um dr cooney you want to mention anything else no you did a lot of work on the actual contract the actual contract is on our website for people to review that's part of the process as well we had to put it on the website and just a reminder that we do have to follow what the uh herb board they gave us a rubric which i said before the rubric is longer than our our actual contract but we did follow that and we had someone look it over and so we feel like it's it's going to be it's going to meet all the expectations that ferb is asking for so i know that you can't read all that but it is on our on the screen so there we go so everything is reflected and talked about and i know we're not going to vote on this tonight um but i just want to encourage you to to take a good look at this i'm kind of i'm excited because this is the second opportunity i've had to be the board for a person representative for the teacher negotiations and so from hearing that and also from talking to teachers over the last few years there's been a great deal of frustration over the situation that was caused by the compression of discoveries resistance and being behind and what that looks like for teachers who would come in and do this with the same experience and do the same job and the pain discrepancy and so this makes up a great deal for that did we take care of the whole issue no not completely okay we're moving towards that right because some people as as we mentioned earlier or as uh mr key favor mentioned earlier there are some people that were eleven thousand dollars behind yeah we're trying to get we're trying to catch them up but we had to you know because of the amount of money that we're talking [Music] so if you may if you're nine to ten thousand dollars behind we're gonna make that five thousand it's a good dollars step [Music] obviously we couldn't afford to do it all at one time and so this is a good first step hopefully in the future we can continue to take steps like this that's no guarantee but at least the shows that we're trying to work on and proving that it may never go away the problem compression may never go away because you're always having to at some point change your schedule right at some point 40 000 as a starting salary is probably not going to be competitive and so you know you're always going to have those adjustments from time to time but if we get something set for now it'll be easier to attack some of that compression issues and we have to be very financially healthy which we all know don't think uh matt's been on the board the longest here to see anything like this did you put an estimate to what that cost might be just a little over 500 000 of new monies that will be spent just on the compression component but just on this contract yeah the compression component was like 466 thousands and then there's another you know 40 000 um and as dr kuhn mentioned in earlier in the education fund balances the estimates have already been added in is that if we approve these we still finish the year at an estimated 7 million dollar balance so very excited on what we're able to do it's nice to be able to do that sure and you mentioned a little kevin it's nice to see our balances grow you know they've grown you know a million dollars i think this last year would be about 800 000 obviously that's going to shrink with something like this a little bit and it's all dependent on adm sound but we're meeting our other goals though too as far as having the cash on hand for um you know the hr are not hr but payroll in multiple multiple months years ago our goal was 12 or something wasn't it yeah we're waiting that's a long we're way over that yeah but that was it we've adjusted our goals to be what three months uh operating balance you know we want our imbalance to be three three months of expenditures so that you know if something does happen we can cover ourselves for that period of time i think we're a little bit over that but which isn't uncommon in a competitive business environment to try and secure that stability in that kind of three months yeah like six months [Laughter] okay so just to review the process this has been ratified by the teachers association yes we by law had to present this and so at our next board meeting on october 12th we will then officially vote to make this contract official and we and we will actually uh you know pending that vote um proceed on with some other activities to be able to make it all work and help payroll out and do all those things we'll start distributing contracts get them signed do kind of all that so they can look a little bit make sure they're right look at the information then you can have your signing party probably october 12.

and look if you look at the 45 to 65 year age that's the largest loss of course when we're talking about large loss unfortunately those people probably aren't moving maybe some of them are going to be snowbirds of florida but other ones might just be passing away save that way that's probably good that's part of that scenario i'm sure maybe they'll move quite sick who knows but that age group two for the most part 45 to 64. probably will not be bringing children to our schools at that age would be yourself so really you know 62 years after the creation of mscwc that's where we're at right now we want to propel msd of waters county for the next 60 years and beyond obviously um so strategic plan for is is another way of looking at so providing again additional opportunities for students also facility improvements uh maintenance and upgrades and also building use efficiency and you know through a lot of things that dr kuhn gives to us when we talk about budgets and when we talk about different things we we look at those numbers as far as the efficiencies of our building the capacities that are involved and we do know that right now the capacities of southwood and northfield typically they say for about 80 percent that means we're pretty full but we are actually in the 50s at one of the schools in the 60s to the other school and that hasn't changed for the last few years so that's something that we have to look at so really it comes down to some other things that we've looked at so part of this history and strategic plan is just a reminder of all the things that we've done so far so september 2018 we had steve yeager the yeager educational service corporation that came in if you recall he went to all the different communities um he went to all the different schools did a lot of work on just talking to people about some different ideas the same thing is what we're looking at as far as what what can we do to propel uh propel our school district for the next 60 years plus a lot of great things happening but we we can't just be looking at today we have to look in the future and so 2018 to 2000 or august of 2019 we had nick lloyd from bright minds marketing of course with open enrollment we have to look at making sure that we are telling our story because if we don't tell our story somebody else is going to tell the story for us so that's when we made some changes and have a lot of great things going along with that too i think you would agree that you know with our hire and with all the things that are going on it's been a good improvement so we appreciate that deb black fighter dr deblar blick fighter from butler university she has her own um also business doctor like lighter associates basically came and helped us with those four strategic points those priorities and so all of them really are going to be continual priorities that we've had but those are some but tonight we're going to concentrate more on strategic plan number four so just community communication one thing we went back and looked at okay what are all the things that we've done so far with the public just like this is a public um this is an open meet it's a work session since we only have one guest today it's not a place where it's a question and answer but it is a place that we can discuss and talk and do a few different things like that of course there'll be no vote tonight during this meeting so april 17 2019 we had a school board work session strategic planning two of you were not a part of that but the rest of us were and we actually um were off-site we did go to heartland uh i mean yeah heartland remc to their conference room and had a very good meeting with dr december 3rd through the 19th then we presented that to our building level staff so we went to all the different schools and did a presentation and then if you recall on the 17th and the 27th of february we went and took that strategic plan presentation to norfolk south and that was open to the public basically going over all those priorities and other various uh situations and in september 20th or 22nd 2020 we had a school board work session like we are tonight the strategic plan reviewed and updated and part of that was looking at you know where we were as far as finding out about building facilities and different things like that and if you recall that was kind of during the cobalt area too and we're still in the covent but it all started march 13th of 2020 and so we we waited a little bit longer and then we had that strategy or that uh school board work section and october 13th is when dr kuhn brought in and we had policy analytics come in to look at some tax rates of a b and then november 10th is when we actually had another school board work session reviewed the strategic plan with barco vilma and then on january 28th of 2021 another school board work session and that's with all of you then two new board members um one thing i don't know that we put in here and i thought we did but i don't see it we actually had a work session where we actually took a tour of all the buildings too that's that one it says yes sorry yeah there's two buildings i thought it was theirs okay thank you um so anyway that gives us a little idea of all the things we we've been talking about this a long time um and a lot of things that have been going on the last two or three years and so really tonight and this is where maybe more the discussion so there are studies for facility efficiencies and really there are different studies that we've already looked at we've looked at the retaining of all schools and how what that looks like how much it would cost to get them to the point where they would be like new the shuffling of grade levels over time to also reduce or phase into a four or three building um corporation and then giving a specific photo focus on the nine through twelve uh grade levels because as we know right now and we've always talked about a lot of times it's it's the 9 through 12 is where our schools are not to capacity and so looking at that and then of course the one that we need we haven't looked at a lot but we need to do and that's what we've discussed is to build a new high school uh build a 9-12 high school to include phasing into a three-building district over time while maintaining and improving certain buildings so you know i want to look back if we look at those board members and i think maybe the superintendents were in some of those pictures too and maybe even some of the school attorneys but i'm sure when they were thinking about amnesty of wall bush county they had all those schools and they were looking at what can we do to become more efficient and i think we're at that time too is what we can do to be more efficient we have a great school district we have a lot of great things going on in all the buildings but we always have to look to the future to see how we can keep that going and make it more efficient and so really that is our work session for tonight so we can ask questions we can talk i want to just give you a little bit of an update because these are some of the things that we've been talking about um and thinking about but we just haven't uh made any decisions obviously we're not gonna make any decisions tonight but we need to continue to study and so i think that's a key word here is the studies for facility efficiencies so as much as we can we want to look at studying certain aspects of propelling our school district for the next 60 years there really are no other slides so i conclude with that part of it and obviously then we will uh we'll go into our school board meeting at six o'clock um and then there will be some recommendations we have a this is a a very good uh agenda because of of course we're looking at uh different things but i think some great things with with the teacher contract the tentative agreement with the budget uh dr has put together um and then of course uh a resolution that we're gonna look at and the resolution uh we'll go along with this but here again it's just first study because um you have to follow different aspects of any other code to follow looking at studying different facility efficiencies it's almost on topic for a second so see if there's anything anybody wants to say before we conclude this part of our meeting i know there's not enough time for you guys to go back home and get in the fields and then come back to six o'clock i'm not that far away i want to reiterate this isn't because we have financial problems correct correct now this has nothing to do with that yeah because some people will say that but this has something to do with that because you guys have done a terrific job of getting us where we need to be yeah well you're talking about fact we're as strong as we've ever been ever efficiencies actually efficiencies provide even more opportunities i think you know there are a lot of opportunities but if the more efficiencies that you have provide more opportunities that's a good question let's just talk about that so um you know financially we are able to add programs which we actually had another program in high schools this year with computer science we could add financially we could add more programs for other students but yet it still comes down to that critical mass of if you add this what we'll take away from and will we have any students so we talked about that quite a bit we could add a lot of different things but we would not have students to be able to be in in those activities or in those classes or any of those types of things so that's a very very good question because that is sometimes a question people ask well is this because you want to save money it's not about saving money it's about being efficient with the money now obviously everything it's also i would also say that it also gives us an idea of how better way of how we spend our money so with a direction with a plan yeah we could spend our better we could spend our money say better but we can spend it wisely down the road and mike alluded to it you know 62 years ago there was a vision put out for msd we just want to reevaluate that vision and see what we can do to propel us the next 50 16 years as msd and to do that we're going to need to study some things and get a better idea of some of these impacts in the future and i know tim talks about programming too it's like they're programming for our students but because and i'll probably just turn that over to you as far as how students are able or not able to do that because we have programming but yet can you take advantage of that programming in certain situations that we have so yeah our current programming is as robust as any area but we offer courses that don't get put into the master schedule because there's just not enough kids to sign up for them so when that happens then that reduces the number of sections we can offer the class which then kind of locks up other parts of the schedule and again it's not for lack of funding or lack of staffing it's just a lot of students and so finding a way to get more students in into those programs unlocks all kinds of opportunities so yeah and people often ask well this to increase our programming well kind of to increase the program i guess more just to create that increase the opportunity for students to take advantage of our programming that we currently are offering so we will see growth but it'll be more so allowing students to get the classes that we offer now but because of tight schedules they just can't get to a couple years ago i guess it's been close to a couple years we had as many as i believe you said sections of different classes that met between the two schools that had less than 10 kids but i know this year it's still early and we have kind of an idea on are we still pretty close to that you know i haven't ran that report so i would hate to guess but we still have quite a few like that and we work very hard and it's in some ways you might consider it financially unwise right wasteful we work hard to offer classes if there's only one or two students um we still do that so i don't know the exact number but we still have that same time well with the enrollments with the enrollment that we have now compared to what you're talking about i thought i'm sure it has to be close to that too so and and i will say too other school districts that larger school districts or i'm going to say a larger school district but students that have larger districts that have one high school for example you know a lot of times they say that if they don't have 12 students in the class and i just i talked to a chief academic officer curriculum director just a couple years ago they said 12 was the number so they didn't have 12 in that class so you think about that situation you know two years ago or three years ago when we said 50 classes that means in some schools they'd say you just lost 50 classes well then what are you going to do so you know we had to offer those classes so you know more efficiently more wisely as far as you know providing those opportunities right and i applaud our efforts and even if we have one or two people in that class to make that available to them i think is important but i also think it's important to look at that efficiency of you know is there a way we could be more not necessarily for financial reasons but for reasons if we can make as you said earlier if we could make more sections go then that frees up a schedule for somebody who said well i'd like to take that class but i've got this requirement for my graduation requirement class that has to be this class so i can't take that elective that i would kind of like take so you know we're talking about if we have two or three kids in a class so okay if you've got two or three in northfield two or three at southwest you're still that's six right is that is that a reality oh absolutely there are even in bigger schools you're gonna have classes like ten and eight and some other classes and so we do we try to make those go even with that yeah but it was like advanced classes or those ap classes they are generally ap classes but they're also your special art classes um we have some students with needs that are at different buildings and if they work together in one building the programming and the opportunities we give them to meet groups so it's at all levels um i would say even at your chamber or you still have that achievement yeah and no matter how many people you have colleges the more specialized you get the smaller that number will get it will be i mean i took a music theory class at ball state that had seven people in it so it's just a matter of how many people are interested in that class at that time so just i mean is there are there classes that as a department that's there classes that you think that we would offer that we don't now sure i think um but the ones that come to mind are your top-end classes like we currently offer a calculus a b which is like calculus one um and we have probably ten students north and south of those um it would be nice to offer calculus two and that you're talking five or six kids right that want to do that but that there would be one example um our fine arts music and band we kind of got very tight with that because of the schedule right like um the band teacher has to cut a list and do this and that well if we had enough grandkids we could hire a separate person to do better than require or open up a schedule for them to offer more banned electives um drama we share a drama program north to south um computer science we were able to create an entire new position for that but we have her drive north to south for those things some things gary dale and industrial arts and so all of those things as you create flexibility it opens up all kinds of opportunities and some of those are ones we couldn't even predict right now just depends on teacher and student interest we can really i feel like most the public can feel it with athletics right like we can't feel the c team where we can't feel whatever and all of a sudden then it's like oh what what kind of implications that has on the varsity level same things happens in classes when you can't fill this class then that kind of locks up all of these other things because you have to get this one class in which then impacts all levels right not just ap but that teacher also teaches general classes and they have to cover this prep period or they cover this launch and so um we just are we're lean we're leaning tight which is great financially and so it's exciting to have ideas to maybe explore ways to give us just a little bit more breathing room for our teachers and our students so that's scheduled the speed of efficiencies even though the two teachers that we have that travel not the best use of efficiency when they travel because then they lose a period that we could have do something else i'm teaching another class and so that's one of the geographical challenges that we have too because it's great to share and to be able to do that but yet you are losing some teaching time because of travel so i guess i would add too as a curriculum guy everybody always wants to promote the academics out of it i think there's a lot of value from our athletic program from our band program from industrial like all of those programs help build kids and that's what we're in the business of it so i hope i hope we don't it's not solely for the academics it's for raising good kids good well-rounded kids that can participate in sports and participate in their interests and the more opportunities we give them the more chances we are to connect with a kid and help them succeed and that's really i feel like that's where our heart is so what would the class size be your estimate well right now just to give you an example we had 134 students i guess that maybe give you a little example like last year 134 students graduated from northwest south yeah and i know that i've it's been a long time since i'm in school but i had 130 that graduated in my class and so we're really very close to what the class is part of it and that was kind of a larger class i mean you could we went back to the one slide you can see like back the year they had a thousand students i mean that was a large um obviously large classes there they weren't always like that but still that's it's not very large um and even comparing to schools around us of course there's a lot of schools that have a lot more students than that even the eight that we if i think about those you guys could probably help me a little bit too be very comparable to you know manchester wabash mechanical peru um oak hill um not huntington obviously right um okay those classes are getting bigger probably more wabash manchester yeah definitely yeah oh actually higher than that so they were capping up at 30 a class and since i was there they're using the same schedule well they just changed it but for about 14 years they use that same schedule but they were having 50 i mean 30 students in each section of each core class so that's 150 students so they were having 150 um in each class for the most part so they probably averaged 130 to 150 right now and then of course uh um miami you know smaller um north miami is comparable to one of our schools to norfolk southwood separately right now um eastbrook maybe a little smaller than that but about the same also so really our neighboring schools that we touch are are about the same as our norfolk and southwood high schools combined right now so give or take 125 to 150 and really our largest class right now is that seventh grade at northfield with 90 students and so but then we also have um i'm doing this on memory but we do have a couple of classes still in the 50s one and i think our senior class right now at southwood is only 50 students so you double that that's only 100.

do you have anything between 10 am and uh 12 pm depending on what service she would like what service is she looking for just a woman's haircut for now okay we have a 10 o'clock 10 a.m is fine okay what's her first name the first name is lisa okay perfect so i will see lisa at 10 o'clock on may 3rd okay great thanks great have a great day bye [Applause] okay they're all cheering and i'm all crying right so that conversation was between a real person at the hair salon and a computer and the computer was programmed not only to sound like a human being but i don't know if you could tell the responses at some times were to mimic the actual cadence and dialogue of a real human being so you can see from a cyber security perspective ai it does have tremendous value and opportunity but it also is creating new frontiers for us on the cyber crime side of things that we could never have even imagined other than in the movies that you could actually encounter someone who is a criminal who has duped you into a transaction where you lose money but it's not even a real person at all it's either a deep fake person or it was a wishing attack done by a computer right so these are real things that ai is confronting us with but with every problem that exists there's always an opportunity and that's one thing that i want to end with to give you hope and to give you opportunity right if you look at where ai is headed ai has tremendous value for people like amazon amazon is going to be hiring incredibly a large group of individuals so if you have any interest at all in ai there's going to be tremendous career opportunities for you but really the the main opportunity and the reason that you're here is for cyber security right now we have a skills gap in cyber security and it is a tremendous gap and it's one that you could be filling today if you keep on these pathways that michael has created and his team has created for you in that was a global uh figure of 3.5 million just in north america there's a shortage of three hundred thousand but let's drill down a little bit closer i just did this on indeed which is a job uh hunting website and i just typed in simply cyber security in orange county okay according to indeed there are over a thousand cyber security jobs here in orange county itself and when you look at the pay scale it ranges from ninety thousand to a hundred and forty thousand at a hundred and forty thousand dollars they're listing one hundred eighty jobs okay i don't know how to make this any more clear to you if you're looking for opportunity and you are a young person cyber security has jobs waiting for you just waiting for you so i can't emphasize enough how important these cyber security pathways are and how fortunate you are that due to michael's leadership that you have these opportunities because i can tell you i speak in many many different places there are a lot of jurisdictions that don't have these opportunities so don't let them go to waste here i know you have a long relationship and a powerful relationship with cypress college on their own website they have estimates for what different types of cyber security jobs can can earn and i don't know if henry's here today but he just got an award for his leadership for the cyber security pathway and his program that he's created and his quote i thought was very telling that there isn't a business that doesn't need cyber security and without cyber there is no business i think that is a perfect quote that sums up not just my presentation but the current state of affairs that reflects the cyber security threat that we face not only as a nation but as a community but also the cyber security opportunity that that presents for you as a young person today and i don't want to just single out cypress college there are many universities in our jurisdiction that present this opportunity for you cal state fullerton coastline college specifically is targeting cyber security and also uci now some of you may be saying hey i don't have enough uh money to attend one of these universities just google cyber security scholarships there are amazing scholarships opportunities out there for you as a young person and even then if you think you can't afford that there are tons and tons of free cyber courses online any one of these that you could go sans is the leader in cyber education they offer a free class online right now udemy offers free classes khan academy offers free classes there is no limit on the opportunities that exist for you to become an expert in cyber security in addition to the pathways that are created here in your school district now some takeaways for you and your family these are some resources whether you're a small medium business person or you're just a community member that you can rely on also i wanted to direct some special attention to the orange county sheriff's department the orange county sheriff's department is the only law enforcement agency in orange county that staffs two full-time cyber crime deputies that are here to serve the community so if you're fortunate enough to live in a jurisdiction patrol by the sheriff you have two full-time deputies in addition to that the fbi here in orange county is very proactive in assisting you now they collect data on that ic3 website that i talked about so if in your jurisdiction your local police agency isn't servicing your needs they will direct you to the fbi so all i can tell you is that there are resources available but the bottom line is this as law enforcement we cannot be there every moment of every day to assist you in deciding which email to open and which link not to click or to click the reason that i'm here today is to help assist you and hopefully you'll spread the word to your friends and family on these little things that you could do to make yourself more cyber safe because really this is going to take help from all of us this is a problem that's facing not just orange county not just california but the united states as a whole and working together we can overcome this cyber threat but we really all need to take a little initiative on ourselves and so like i said in the same way that we've raised our children to look both ways when it comes to an intersection let's start reiterating to our children how to be cyber safe and i think michael has done a tremendous job here in this district creating these cyber security pathways and it's amazing to me to me to see in that video such young people at an early age learning not just basic cyber security but advanced cyber security skills that are not only going to make their community safe but are going to generate tremendous income opportunities for them once they graduate not just high school but college as well so that's my presentation today i want to thank you so much for your attention and i hope you found it valuable thank you very much [Applause] thank you very much um i i do if if there's any questions in the audience i'm sure that um mr guppa has a few minutes to address anything that's come up um you can come straight up to the mic if you have a question i actually have one myself my thought is the those that commit cyber crimes um how difficult is it to prosecute them with any evidence of any sort how do you track them down so that's a great question oftentimes it's very difficult because many times as michael had mentioned the perpetrators of these crimes are in jurisdictions where the country allows them to perpetrate these crimes so if they're in one of those jurisdictions it's very difficult for us to prosecute them but also many of the people that rely upon are not very cyber aware or have the cyber technical skills i can tell you we work very closely with the fbi they are constantly looking for digital forensic examiners so i know forensics is something that cypress college really specializes in so again there's a tremendous need both in the private sector and in the public sector for those individuals that have cyber skills and so if you can bring those to law enforcement it would help us tremendously in trying to catch some of these cyber criminals and and how how long would uh say an educational pathway take you from out of high school to landing a job at a company that's in need with the number of jobs that are there so what i can tell you is in in this day and age things have changed so much in the olden days uh that means i'm old if i'm saying that phrase uh you know it they the the employers would look and see okay which four-year institution did you go to what was your degree today the great thing with cyber security and i think computer science as a whole it's a great equalizer now all the employer looks at is what is your skill set and just as you saw in that video you can develop a cyber security skill set at a very young age i mean i'm seeing kids as young as 16 be expert in cyber whether they're a cyber hacker or an ethical hacker or someone who understands network intrusion it's at a very young age so what i would say is there are companies that are willing to take a chance on someone as young as 18 if they have the right skill set so what i would say is try and develop your skill set as early as possible and you're going to see opportunities at a very young age thank you very much i think that was a very important point to make to this crowd out here the the the students in the in the in the audience taking advantage of what the opportunity you have in front of you is so important and uh that the educators you have in front of you are fostering that so that you can be the next uh innovative um workers out there to make to influence this world of cyber crime so i don't see any hands up but i don't know if you want to say anything else to close mr matsuda but right here come on up come on up all right some questions come on up um hi so my first question is as someone who wants to go into cyber security law what steps do you recommend that i take well what i would say is generally for law school some of the majors that really help you would be english or history or philosophy but nowadays even other majors even such as music theory or or something even in the arts would benefit you really what what graduate schools are looking for now are people that think differently and can add diversity to their classes so what i would say to you is any background that you have if you show an interest in pursuing law school will be accepted and embraced and as it relates to cyber security in particular many law schools now have classes that you can take once you enter into law school as it relates to cyber but obviously wherever you can develop those skills before going to law school would be a tremendous help to you so pursue these pathways that you have here in in your school but what i would tell you is this if you pursue these pathways the opportunity the job opportunity you're going to have is probably going to be way better than going to law school also um second question so and i know that you prosecute so in many of these cases do they often take plea deals or do you see them actually taking these cases to court more often so uh the generally the vast majority of cases that we deal with they do take plea deals and that's because if we're able to identify them and they're they are in our jurisdiction the technology allows us to actually prove that it was this individual that committed this crime whether that's through their ip address or some through other digital forensics that we often find so usually you are correct they are pleading guilty okay um thank you you're welcome so in your um presentation you were talking about how ais can even be like grand masters in chess and jeopardy and even law um it made me think that humans are listening to ais right um what would happen if ai started taking our jobs away so the the there are many jobs that will be replaced because of ai so any skill that is repetitive uh can easily be overtaken by ai or for example accounting right where if if the computer understands the variables and the math that's required uh there's only going to be a certain amount of variation between let's say tax returns that is a job that could easily be overtaken so it is very it's a very good question for you to be aware of to say hey wait a second when i look to the future of what i want to do what are those jobs that may or may not be taken away by ai so what i would say to you is this is cyber security is always going to be at least in the near future an opportunity where you will not be that it won't be replaced by ai it will be a component of an overall cyber security program but the the need for individuals in that area is always going to be there thank you you're welcome okay uh so near the end you talked a lot about like the different jobs and how amazon's hiring a lot uh and like how there's a lot of requests for jobs but like what's the uh most common job like ask for uh you would in so i what i would say is the most common job for anyone starting in information technology is going to be the help desk okay and what i would say to you is almost everyone in the industry all the way up to the ceo most people started at the help desk and why that's a benefit to you is i guarantee you today you could probably go to your high school and say hey could i help out at the help desk and they would say yes we need your help and so the reason i bring that up is it's a skill and it's an experience you can get at a very young age that everyone all the way up to the ceo can relate to because they had that skill at some point as well or they had that experience so what i would say to you is start there start with a help desk either at your at your library your public library or at your school or even at a local business wherever you can find that experience that is going to set you on the path towards a cyber security professional degree professional professional employment okay thank you you're welcome what's the most cyber what's the most common cyber crime in orange county uh i would say the most common cyber crime in orange county is phishing and or ransomware phishing is just simply as i explained someone who's sending you a fake email trying to get your credentials and the reason that it's the most common is because it's the most it's it's the hardest for you to detect because you may you may log in using your facebook password and you may get the email and it may give you what you think you're getting and you don't even know that you've been compromised and you don't know that the person is inside of your account because they don't necessarily do something to your account right away they harvest the data that's in your account so phishing by far is definitely the most common thank you you're welcome um hi you've covered ai's abilities um today what do what are your thoughts on like uh ai's future well i think the future is unknown right because the pa so ai is based upon the data set that it has and the ability of the computer to analyze that data so there's a new technology coming called quantum computing which is extremely highly supercharged computers so they can calculate more data at a quicker pace so uh really the the potential for ai is unlimited but i think that we're headed towar we it is possible to head toward as a scenario where we as human beings uh may not be able to comprehend everything that the ai machine is doing because it can calculate large data sets at such a fast pace that as you've seen there's already examples where it can outpace us as human beings so i think the future of that is unknown thank you you're welcome uh so i've been watching a lot of like i've been like i've been working with ai for like a long time like when i was 12 i watched a lot of videos on it and i've been doing that and like one thing i notice is ai usually it doesn't understand what its limit is like an example one time it was asked to run fast with the human model and instead of running four it run backwards and it was doing backflips and barrel rolls and i feel like that could be a problem especially in scenarios where an ai could take control of one's computer and prevent it from closing out i know that's happened sometimes is that accurate i would say yes that there's tremendous limitations to ai as it exists today and there are many examples of that so for example um you could take navigation right or or let's take autonomous vehicles for example right that's the computer actually thinking and and trying to navigate a moving um um territory oftentimes they can make mistakes so i think in in in line with the question that was just asked is what are the you know where do you see ai going is that is one of the risks is that ai does make mistakes and it can lead to a lot of negative results because the computer doesn't have one thing that we have as human beings which is an ethical and moral compass right so the machine is just calculating data but there's a right and wrong that we live by in our society so i 100 agree with you that ai can often make mistakes but even if it the ai is doing what it's supposed to be doing we as a society might think that that's the wrong thing to do right and so that's where i think also you you bring up a great point ai ethics i think is going to be a huge field in the future to say okay we want people to help us understand when we should use ai and when we should not or when ai has reached its limit for us even though it's unlimited in its capacity as a computer we as a society or a company have decided we don't want to use it in this area so i think you you bring up a great point yeah because like always like point a to point b straight line is always the fastest way but you don't want to go through buildings right exactly it's a great point a lot of good questions um how did you become a cyber crime prosecutor um that's a great question so there was a need that we found just based upon interacting with victims so what you'll find in in many government agencies is that we're very responsive to our community so we were getting a lot of cyber crime complaints and so we decided to dedicate research towards that area so generally just you know that's why we live in the united states we have a democracy we're a representative democracy where we try and listen to our community and we said hey we need this uh uh this we have this need and so i i happen to have a background in technology i used to work in an internet company and i find this fascinating and so the opportunity came up and so i pursued it and that's kind of how it came to be thank you you're welcome okay so um my question is are there any cyber attacks that you experience on a daily basis that you have to deal with like the most common one the most common ones that you haven't explained in your presentation so what i would say to you is in my role we don't deal with cyber attacks on a daily basis in that so the law enforcement agencies are the first responders so if someone is a victim of a cyber crime they contact law enforcement law enforcement does the investigation they collect the data then they present it to us and then we determine whether or not we can prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt i think what you're referring to though would more be uh in line with let's say someone who is on the um the i.t side of let's say a company if you and actually the um if you ask the the gentleman who's in it from magnolia right so you could ask him that question and i would tell you that from my experience in speaking with people that run small medium businesses they they could tell you exactly how many cyber attacks they're getting on a minute-by-minute basis and it is in the thousands so that's the other thing you have to understand in these jurisdictions where it's okay to do cyber crime they're launching attacks all the time there's no resting and so that's another area where ai comes into play is we cannot be as human beings as vigilant as a computer can so we may get to a situation where it's the computer the the criminals ai versus rai going battling back and forth uh for cyber crime so i don't know if that answer your question but that's how the system is set up for before a case comes to me yeah okay thank you you're welcome uh okay so like my question is what are some important skills someone needs to have in order to work in a job related to cyber security okay well what i'm going to say to you is these are important skills for you to have regardless of whether you work in cyber security and what that means is today when employers are looking to hire someone they want to know if this person has good cyber hygiene and what does that mean that they know once you become an employee in a company you get access to their network okay so they don't want to hire someone who's going to jeopardize their network so what i would say to you is the basic skills the basic skills are such that you're going to have strong passwords you're not going to use the same password at work that you use for your other accounts you're not going to do a lot of you know personal spend a lot of time on the work computer surfing the internet for your personal things that you're not going to download a lot of things to your work computer you're not going to go to sites that could jeopardize the network those are real basic things that every employer is looking for as it relates to specifically cyber security i would say everything that you can take an opportunity with in any one of the pathways here in the district is going to prepare you but essentially what they're looking for are those people that can do problem solving and think about things in a slightly different way and a lot of times what you're doing in cyber security is you're looking at a threat and you're seeing okay how can i use the resources that i have to overcome this threat and then think about okay where is the likely threat next about to come okay so problem solving so anytime that you have an opportunity to be involved in math that's a great skill set to have that translates very well to cyber security okay thank you you're welcome so um what industries will ai affect the most like either negatively or positively um well that's a pretty that's a very broad question um i think where it will affect positively the most i think is in cyber security so like i said because the number of threats are so vast where it would affect negatively and that's a great question um i'm sorry financial industry yeah i think financial industry it could affect it um you know it's like anything else i think in life it's anything can be used for good or bad so what i would say to you is in reference to what the other question was since we don't know the limits of ai i don't know if we can even ask answer that question at this point because we don't know how it's going to be used in the future so we don't know what the negative effects could be uh but as you saw with amazon right every one of these companies okay so do you watch netflix yeah yeah when netflix recommends something to you that's ai okay when you go on amazon and they recommend something to you that's ai so all of these companies these massive massive companies to improve their customer service for you to give you a better customer experience they are investing in ai so i think that's where you're going to see it in your personal life the most is with these very large companies that collect large amounts of data the facebooks the netflix's the amazons that's where i think you're going to see the most what what they would view the most positive effect thank you what things do you see in science fiction movies that might become reality uh because of ai oh man you're asking the wrong person i don't i don't watch any science fiction stuff i actually i like non-fiction but i guess what i would tell you is that some of the things that i showed you today that i used to think i would only see in movies when i was young are happening today so deep fakes and deep fake voice technology which i just thought never could exist are here today and i think that is is very scary and that that that i mean you saw the video the person is talking in real time and it's coming out of president obama's mouth so that to me is really scary that i think we used to see in science fiction thank you you're welcome um so like a question that i have is i watched this video like two to three years ago it was about in japan and there was this raider so he created like an ai robot it's like you know like robots it doesn't mean to have feelings or any emotionals but he make her a human like how robots they actually can she confused what are you talking about what's her feelings is that hot or cold with temperatures she can feel everything and she can talk like an actual person so i mean in the future it would actually become more advanced is there any problems going on like it's not really about us but it's about different countries like wars would it be is going on or so i think the best way i could answer that question is is this way by saying the video that you watched although it may appear it may look like the computer has feelings and emotions it doesn't what it's doing is it's looking at a set of data that tells it how to respond and so the example i would give you is the one that the video that i showed you where the google computer is making the um the hair appointment in between the hair in between the dialogue the the google machine computer was saying okay it's mimicking what it believes to be the appropriate response that a human being would give at that time but it's not really feeling those things and i know that's that's that might be hard to understand but uh to your other point of course i mean uh our adversaries around the world could use this technology in many many ways uh that could really injure us uh so for example if if if there was a broadcast let's say of a of a foreign leader uh saying hey that they wanted to start a war with us we would think that that might be real but it could turn out that that was a deep fake and it wasn't really the politician from that country saying that they wanted a war with us so i think that these tools like someone said hey what's the downside that's a that's an example you bring up a great point is that our adversaries could use these things in very very negative ways that could hurt us but you know we're going to have to we're what i would say is now we have to develop there's an opportunity we have to develop a technology that can figure out if the image that we're seeing is real or not real right and that that's what i think is interesting about cyber uh is that every time there's a problem it creates an opportunity oh so another question i have is so if ai robots is actually or advancing and it is actually replacing humans and it actually can become a human close to a human so in the future i don't think they're going to be like worse among like different countries but i think that will be wars among people to people so what do you think about that um well i guess i've never thought about that so uh i don't i don't know if i have a good answer for that but again i guess what i would say to you is that it's not that the computer is a human being it's the computer is giving responses it believes would be what a human would give and i think you know i think generally to what you're saying is i think in our society today we've become more divided overall and if ai technology divides us further then yes i think that we're going to be in a situation where we may be struggling with each other and i think i think to answer your question though again the moral compass that we have as a society we should use that to have ethical bodies set up to reign in ai so we never reach that point because the computers are going to think and do things because they're computers it's up to us and it's our responsibility to regulate their behavior so we don't reach that point so we can all work together to move the technology forward for the benefit of all of us and not to divide us so you sort of answered my question i was gonna ask if uh ai was gonna divide us or bring us together because not everyone has equal opportunities or privileges to be where we're at so um i guess i have to ask a question uh yeah sorry sir no no worries that was more of a comment no worries hello hi okay do you think even though our cyber security advances you know there's still hackers that um will they still be able to attack us because you know they are kind of ahead of us will we ever surpass them you know i mean we do hope so we do so what i would say to you is this is think of it this way if i build a wall uh around my house that's 10 feet tall right you you wouldn't be able to get in right but what if you had a ladder that was 11 feet tall yeah you're always going to be able to get in right and so i use that analogy to say this is it's always going to be a cat and mouse game that we're always going to build defenses that someone will figure out a way to overcome and then we'll build another defense to overcome that so i think you know history has has is littered with examples where there's constantly a shifting back and forth from our ability to defend ourselves to finding a vulnerability we close that vulnerability and then they find another weakness in our chain and you know to reference my presentation as it relates to cyber security we as human beings are the weakest link in that chain and so i think to start with if we start improving our cyber hygiene that we can stop start helping protect each other that's really where i think the value is is to say hey as a nation if we can increase our cyber security awareness that would actually help prevent a lot of these attacks from foreign adversaries and then they would have to become more sophisticated so that's something that we can start doing today but overall to answer your question yes it's always going to be a cat-and-mouse game yeah it's going to be on and off for always yeah for eternity i think all right thank you yeah um my question was about how much jobs will be cyber jobs will be created within the next five years uh new jobs that are created you know i don't have an answer to that but according to the statistics i've seen just current currently the you know in the united states there's over 300 000 jobs that are available globally it's 3.5 million jobs so i would estimate that that's only going to increase that the number of jobs will continue to increase because cyber security is such an important issue for not just companies but for individuals so i would think that the trajectory is for it the opportunity to just keep growing so for someone in your age i think you're you're it's a path that you'll find nothing but growing opportunities thank you welcome so my question is how many um different type of coding languages are implemented in cyber security you know i'm gonna apologize i actually don't know the answer that question uh so uh that that level of expertise i don't have in terms of coding languages um i understand cyber security from a certain perspective but i actually don't know they answer that question but i'm sure uh someone would be able to answer that question in the audience so i apologize so my question is do you ever think ai will be used in the military ai is being used in the military as we speak today i believe it was i can't remember what country i apologize there was an article in the new york times just two weeks ago that a country law launched a either a missile or a drone strike uh that was 100 percent decided by the computer that it would the ai found the target and decided that this was the moment to strike and it was done by the computer so it's already being used by the military um do you believe that how you said earlier the fact that uh ai was able to um deliver a verdict on if someone was guilty or not do you believe that ai would eventually take over that system of the courtroom and eventually uh determine who's guilty and who isn't i know so i want to clarify something i didn't say that the ai was delivering verdicts of guilty or innocence the example i gave was in contracts that they did a study to look to find errors in contracts and what they found was that the ai computer once it was trained on what to look for had a better rate at finding errors than a human being a lawyer who was trained in finding errors in contracts that was in civil law had nothing to do with criminal law so no i don't i don't ever foresee a situation where a.i would be used in the courtroom for criminal law because our system of justice is based upon having 12 jurors a jury of your peers determining whether or not criminal conduct is um proven beyond a reasonable doubt so i don't i don't see that occurring okay thank you very much you're welcome hi good evening so i'm a parent here yeah i'm one of the questions observations not so much of a question is that there's limited opportunities for internship um to gain experience for students that are younger so even though the workforce might be needing them at a younger age there's no or not enough i haven't seen i've gone to the same websites you've gone i haven't seen a lot of opportunities so that's an area just more of a comment if if it's something that you're aware of to kind of reach out to us and let us know if there are opportunities so what i would tell you is there is actually no limit to opportunities for young people and this is what i would tell you is uh have your child set up your home network have your child make sure that all your devices are safe in your house and then once they've done that go to the neighbor and then go go to your your family members when you know your child is six or seven and they've set up home networks for 20 or 30 people now they have experience that no other child has at that age so that's if it didn't come through my presentation this the greatest thing about cyber security is anyone can do it at any age and you can start learning it and applying it you don't need any type of degree you don't need anyone you you can watch youtube and learn how to do all these things at home there's a programming language called scratch where it's a visual programming language and you your child can learn that for free online um you know to reference someone asked about languages in cyber security i don't know all of them but python is a language that you can learn at home so what i would tell you is that doing an actual internship where you work at a company yes that does exist but that's kind of more of an outdated model and like i was saying employers they just want to know if you have the skill to do what they want to do and if you put on your resume that you set up you know 100 home networks that is going to be recognized by the employer as a skill that you have even though it wasn't a formal internship if that makes sense so what i would recommend to you is you basically create your own internship for your your child and you'll see that that has tremendous value that's a great suggestion and then i do have a question with respect to the criminal prosecutions in the cyber security area um what new legislation are you working on if at all um and are there like do these types of crimes cyber security fraud or cyber security um it's so broad that it kind of can cross over to other types of crimes such as financial fraud what kind of charges do you tend to like prosecute are they felony level and is there currently right legislation being worked on for say offenders who use artificial intelligence and act um through like a you know artificial intelligence like you know how do you prove that the artificial intelligence was in control of this person or to commands from this person or was programmed by this person so there's just so many aspects so what areas of legislation are being worked on if at all so luckily because i work for the da's office i'm on the executive branch so we enforce the laws that are drafted by the legislature i don't actually work on legislation at all but what i could tell you is in the scenario that you presented with the ai it would be no different than anything else which is you know if you if you had a a rock and you put it on the hill and you let it roll down and there was a person sitting on a chair and you put the rock in motion and it injured them well you set in motion what ended up creating a crime or injuring a victim so what i would say to that is even though the ai may be used to commit some type of crime if we could prove who set that ai in motion it would still fall under you know the traditional norms of what we would do in terms of prosecution generally speaking the cases that i handle oftentimes are felonies and that can be based on a variety of reasons it could be dependent on the network that they're intruding on or the the amount of damage that exists but what i would say generally to you is this is generally speaking the legislature is usually a few years behind what is actually occurring and so i haven't seen any legislation that relates directly to ai i also haven't seen a lot of crimes at least in our jurisdiction directly related to ai so we haven't seen that yet i'm sure it's coming and i'm sure there will be a legislation at some point but as it relates to financial crimes you're 100 right cyber crime and financial crime often go together but we use the traditional um laws to prosecute that because when you're dealing with financial crime at the end of the day it's theft of money and it's breaking into someone's network so we have laws in place to to combat that and at the end of the day that's what a cyber criminal wants right that they want something in return so that some payment of money whether that ends up being extortion or ransom or whatnot or money laundering or basic grand theft we have laws on the books to effectuate a prosecution for the conduct that they did the technology that they used maybe not but as long as we can prove that they were behind the crime we can use traditional laws to prosecute them and just out of curiosity do you guys have specific cyber security crime statutes or enhancements yes we do yeah so so if you break into someone's network there's a special statute for that if you if you alter the data you delete the data or if you cause damage up to a certain amount of money so yes we do those have been on the the books for uh for a while thank you you're welcome okay yeah sorry last question um so how has the development of cyber security impacted the way that law enforcement approaches like these offenders that's a great question what i would tell you is that law enforcement has had to adapt to a digital world that they never encountered before so what i would say to you is every crime today is a cyber crime so for example if someone gets a dui and they have a cell phone well they may have posted something on social media related to them drinking before they got into the car or nowadays some people are live streaming while they're driving intoxicated and so we have to get that data and so we may have to do a forensic examination of their phone or their laptop or serve legal process on a social media company so law enforcement has had to adapt dramatically to understand not just what digital evidence is but where that digital evidence may reside there was a case i don't remember in what jurisdiction but after the the crime occurred they wanted to get the alexa because they thought maybe there was a discussion or an argument before the crime occurred that may have been recorded on the alexa so i think law enforcement is becoming very adept at understanding what the crime scene is and trying to figure out where the evidence resides especially in a digital format so i think law enforcement is doing a good job but what i would tell you is we're swimming in data right because every case has a cell phone that means every case is a cyber crime so we actually have too much data and it's very hard for us to manage it okay well thank you so much you're welcome can we give mr gupta a round of applause please thank you for hanging in there mr gupta um it was a pleasure to host you this evening we hope we can do it again and i just want to thank everybody for spending a tuesday night with us i know it's difficult um but again um it's our pleasure to host you sir and i thank you for educating us in what is currently going on with cyber security thank you and thank you for the great questions everyone have a good night everybody thank you [Music]

so of that 19 million dollars or so about generally we we spend between five and six and a half million dollars on pay for performance annually so we that would decrease that a little bit in december and then again in june and then also keep in mind that we did see an infusion of one-time money in classroom site fund last spring and that represents about four or five million dollars of that 18 million dollars so just to keep keep it into perspective and then finally uh note under unrestricted capital outlay fund 610 we have an available balance of 15.

rest your hand a little bit all right so at this point there's no new nothing else to be uh done with this so we'll move on this is our machine right that includes our tentative uh agreement with your teacher contract uh we'll move on to the recommendation to improve the field trip for northfield ffa to the national convention on october 29 2021 in indianapolis motion and second to approve the recommendation for northfield's ffa to attend national convention all in favor say aye okay we have no unfinished business no board policy public comment on any of these items now so we'll pause and allow facebook to catch up [Music] i know we have talked about uh cycling through those occasionally and i don't believe you've done that you guys on the board those policies it was always kind of a frustrating thing but it needed to be done i think well one thing i could do if we were to do something differently um if you want though because three of you have been through this a lot i could go through those with them okay all right at a convenient [Music] time you can legally meet with you without violating any kind of reporting just to review any of that so and what i'll do though is i'll give it to them ahead of time and then we'll talk about it and give them a quiz as long as they pass we won't bring it to the board um but if they don't pass then we'll have to look at them again okay sound fair sure okay all right there's no public comment all right so we'll move on to the items and board numbers which i guess after recommending and four policies to be revisited so no items for many board members we're returned

now that's a small small class within the throughout the corporation but there's another one that's 50 and but yeah 125 150 but typically probably right around 130 is going to be where that will be over the next several years i'd love to know what some of those guys were thinking what their discussions were i wonder if we could go back on facebook [Music] well there's nothing else we can close this meeting and get prepared for the next one but we can still talk chris our long-term debt goes completely off in and we've done that by choice though too we couldn't we could have had it off before now but we've made strategic spending decisions on northfield and south to keep up with some of our maintenance and upgrades on our facilities we extended that bit by small chunks just to be able to we've always well lately we've short-termed this length of debt so that we were in a position we got free but we could have been decorated here to the government hall but we chose to keep improving northwood and southward as the lead schools right right there are bigger facilities and especially southward being kind of an anchor in the southern southern part of the county and district right obviously we're continuing to do that and we just finished up the roof at southwood and then moved over to northfield so contained work on that which is mostly what this last bond was for was for those repairs any other questions or comments kevin definitely touches on an important part of it like it's not just the academic side of it but it's also the financial investment in the future the best way to spend money for the next 50 years as well as far as buildings and groups and sewage treatments and the projected assessed valuation was projected to go up even though that you can look at that in two different ways favorably but also ultimately it's net tax bill private tax building it's always encouraging to be in a growth assessed valuation increase happens we don't set proper events i think we'll continue to gather information and continue to report back through some of these sessions and sometimes we think it's we spent maybe too much time doing all the study but it's a very very important decision so we're going to take our time do it right study and the different information it's great to know though too that you know we always want to encourage people that when we do have these different meetings and public presentations that they they come and share obviously we have open doors here at central office and the buildings too um to ask questions when it comes down to it so this sidebar and all this is through here in the news about code and so forth there's been a just a decline in public student numbers due to some of the feelings about all of that i just wonder if that'll come back or if public education is still going to be competitive against more private education or home education and so it's it's a tough call for the future you have to do something that puts yourself in a position that attracts everything that you can possibly do we've been fortunate here though i feel like we've not been as impacted as maybe other areas in the state with all of that but it's still a market that we need to do better at and become more efficient so that if that trend does continue then we can do more with your students well it it's become such a consumer somewhat a consumer environment is as though you and i decide where we're going to go get our groceries so you know what over here versus here many choices now certainly from other school districts that are finding ways to market what they offer and what they can provide and so it's the competition beyond the covenant and our staff has done a great job knowing that you know we didn't um train necessarily as educators to look at marketing and doing all those things but we've really i think turned a lot of corners to make sure that that's what we're doing and making sure and even stepping up games things like that i think we've always have done that i think we kind of look internally a little bit more to say what can we do to do better jobs with that so there's a lot of things that you can do but you have to have that in your mind too to know what can we do to help and making sure that we provide the best opportunities for our students and the best education that we can all right well we will close this meeting ps6 [Music] same bad time

haley brown it'll be now with the kickoff they're now controlling it and they're just holding on right now trying to make some moves and they're advancing it now and able to make a nice through pass there but that seemed yeah that was a bit of a trip up there on more no and they're gonna call a free kick a call on moore no she is very aggravated right now i would be furious she's had falcons have a free kick just outside the 18 box mourinho went down you saw moto's coaches livid i don't know if the camera can catch him but he's absolutely furious for that call i'm not really sure what happened but what i saw is more null went down and then number 27 i believe of minichog um we got a free kick here and she's not even going to take a shot she's going to try and direct it towards the middle sorry continue trying to see that number is that 27 out there chad ah middle oh twenty one part of me um 21 isabella fergus she fell down on top of more no and i guess more no might have tripped her up i'm really not sure i don't really know what the call is for that i'd like some clarification on that one might have to go down there talk to the refs on uh during halftime good touch move there by toss it'll be easter meadow back machowski with the ball she'll put a deep right side and it is a great pass so it'll be brown directing it towards the left side almost to smith vince able to defend there it's a good look though and a child carrying it past midfield and it is number 21 fergus able to touch it back to our teammate and 41 with the ball ends up going back he's islamo's way cacovia touches it back to the florio de floria we'll just put it right back to kirkovia trying to set something up here it's tallest it touches it smith barely able to keep it in nice play there thomas with a nice scissor move too to fake out the defender create a little bit of separation to have a clear passing lane yeah [Music] now able to win that battle and it'll be more now now we're now controlling passing it to the middle it'll go off of a miniature player but smith almost there to intercept that tallest now with the ball and she'll direct it back to caroline lukassic kassick looks to play it up the right side and it'll go off of a miniature midfielder actually i believe there's a miniature attacker and looks like we have some subs coming in here for miniature number 19 gabby rita and number 36 we have liliana ramos they will be subbing in so it's miniature controlling advancing past midfield paulus there to defend and that ball will go right out of bounds good defense by tallis able to angle her out there make a good play it'll be roman with the throw in here i'm going to chat mini jog now with possession and they're trying to make something happen but decel meadow ends up with the ball and machowski is there to advance it past midfield it is deflected off the miniature player it'll be number eight possession fergus over to another one of our teammates and it is miniature striker now trying to get the ball to florio with a nice play smart decision making there to come out and stop what would have been a great scoring opportunity for minnesota no hesitation there from de florio she knew what she had to do and that was come out get that ball and prevent a scoring opportunity great job you saw meadow now going the other way cantan's already trying to catch up to that ball it's brown now making the play in the corner she makes a nice move out to lukas at glucasic to brown little draw pass i think they call the handball though if i'm not mistaken pinball i want to say so yeah figured 1720 remaining in the first half so far it's one nothing he saw meadow spartans leading miniature and it'll now be more no with the ball directing it towards caroline the kasich and there but can't smith with a nice body they'll go back to roman roman making a look that could have been a high foot call there are kane kind of came up high on i believe smith roman with the outside shot is deflected off of number 21 isabelle fergus off her head that'll go out the back side we have some spartan subs coming in number 24 mia mecha and number 16.

million dollars we are actively getting that allocated out to all of our schools we plan on sending out probably over six million dollars over the next few weeks to all of our schools to make sure that they can get all of their neglected capital needs met since we have quite a few dollars so before i go on are there any questions about our district operating funds okay great and this is just the summary to let you know what i just shared for the public to have that information next are our federal grants just wanted to bring to your attention sr-3 our allocation is a total of 22 million of which 4.4 million dollars must be spent on learning loss we have not yet received approval for the for that grant we are getting ready to send in the second revision for approval this week and i will keep you apprised of that in addition the new federal fund that we have we were just notified of is the epu grant the education plus up grant if you remember last year we received the enrollment stabilization grant the epu grant is very much like the enrollment stabilization grant so it has very few strings attached in terms of how we can spend it and the decision by the governor was made that any any school district that received less than one thousand eight hundred dollars per student on the enrollment stabilization grant will receive the um the education plus up grant to bring them up to at least that one thousand eight hundred dollars and so that results uh in our allocation of three point eight million dollars again the application has been submitted it was very simple so we're expecting to get that approved and it is an allocation so we will we expect to receive the monies in the next month or so any questions on any of that and we did not reflect that information on the grid we don't even have a fund number yet to record that activity okay dr santa cruz if i can ask miss vets just two things uh so what will be the process to decide where that 3.8 million dollars will be spent from that epu grant so we um we had a discussion in cabinet uh regarding uh the how we thought the money should be spent and again because it's very much like the enrollment stabilization grant where we're able to offload maintenance and operations expense giving us more flexibility going into the 23 school year and the 24 school year the recommendation or the application will indicate that we would like to move uh teaching salaries in global academy we had a lot of new students in global academy directly related to the coven 19 pandemic so it seemed appropriate that the salaries of those teachers would be moved into that epu grant and so our intent would be to do about two and a half million dollars in the current year and then roll the dollars into 2023 to offset those salaries for another year okay and then also you mentioned the capital going out to the schools could you just report back as you better projects come in and yeah but it's been spent on and you bet we're collecting the data and i'll be able to summarize that for the board thank you with a few pictures please sure sure okay again information that i just shared with you and then we have two very complicated grids here of bond fund 631 which is the 2015 authority and then in addition fund 630 which is the 2019 authority i'm going to move into the summary that shows all of our bond funds available to date and the main uh the main takeaway from this table is the fiscal year 2021 encumbrance release so keep in mind that much of the activity that we completed over the summer crossed fiscal years so we have to end on june 30 and capture all the activity that was actually completed and paid as of june 30. and then we had to reopen purchase orders july 1 to be able to complete the work at neely for example and all of our schools that saw some significant renovations during the summer so note that the we had we wanted to show the encumbrance release so that when we re-encumbered it wouldn't result in in negative balances in any of the lines so you can see that we had opened up purchase orders to the tune of 9.5 million dollars and we've re-encumbered that and more into the new fiscal year that's showing a balance totally of bond funds left over of just over 20 million dollars and keep in mind that the bond the 631 bond fund was largely designated for the technology refresh to do the one-to-one initiative 712 and that was meant to last us through the fiscal 2023.

wayne right yeah uh jordan wainwright yep it's no subbing out is number five kaylie lou kasich and number 22 smith ainsley smith and it's contains rudy at the corner ready to make this kick and she'll put it far maybe a bit too far it'll go just over more nose head there out the other side and we're now trying to hustle to reach it before it gets out of bounds a little bit too far and miniature is there to make throwing a little back and forth play there jog ends up with the ball and they make a look to the middle but kokovia reads it like a book and try scared up field but is overwhelmed by defenders and it's now britain back with the ball number 36 number 13 on the jog and krakovia once again there to defend nice defensive play there by cacopia to clear out the ball yeah she's pretty successful on those able to body opposing players out of the way and she doesn't hesitate to use her body either box out the opposing player and body there by michalski yeah it was clean play it's metro now with the ball she's directing it towards brown who tries to make a move and that'll end up going out of bounds i thought off of yeah off of a miniature player it's now caroline lukassic i believe only freshman on the team here to make the throne yes only freshman on the team number 13.

so most of that remaining 9.7 million dollars is um in the technology fund to allow the refresh to occur for the current year as well as for next year and then those money should be totally spent by then mr parker i hear you do you have a question mr parker did you have a question there may be some technical issues going on across it sounds like we lost sounds like we lost him we'll try to reconnect go ahead miss okay and that's all i have so if there are any other questions i'm very happy to answer those board members any questions anything else okay great thank you very much thank you miss betts and our board packet did contain two reports we appreciate that information it is available for public review as well so we appreciate the work you've done there item 6.02 is spring 2021 assessment report dr mccord thank you dr santa cruz governing board members we want to bring before you tonight um mr parker i'm back you're back welcome back can you hear us thank you i can't now yeah okay good okay did you have difficulty hearing us before is that what you were i thought maybe you had a question on budget issues no no i did the phone cut off okay all right uh continuing on 6.02 i'd like to present you some information from our teaching and learning department start with um dr newman uh for the spring 2021 assessment report dr newman good evening dr santa cruz governing board members and dr mccord um what i'd like to do right now is just invite oh they're already here see what a great team they are already here at the podium we have miss brandy burton and dr christa cox they are our curriculum instruction and assessment directors as you recall we have done some reorganization and so miss burton is overseeing all of curriculum instruction and assessment for elementary and dr cox will be overseeing all of that for secondary so as they go through the presentation they'll be able to speak specifically to their areas in that way what i like to do is just begin with a an overview for you as you remember as we've discussed previously the data that's going to be shared or reported will really be unique this year compared to other years an absence of any data in 2020 what we have is we will have two data points spring 2019 and spring 2021 over a three year span so that's a little different than what we normally would provide for you in addition to that as you can see we have different assessments so we're comparing data of particular grade levels but that data actually comes from different assessments so for example our students in grades three through 10 took azmerit during 2019 spring and in 2021 they took azm2 in addition to that what we've also done through our process of just the world changing we had intentionally planned on implementing a new data assessment platform and we are super excited for that and it just so happened that that initial implementation year was um last this this year so um we've had some students that um are we're learning some things over our 1920 year over 2021 year and then um we're moving forward with the platform now so they'll be able to explain a couple more specifics about that but i did want to just share with you that when we're looking at data it's going to look different than what we normally did and what we normally have shared with you we also have some specific details that we want to share later in the spring about what our teachers and our campuses have done specifically to really make impact and make inroads with students as far as meeting them where they were and really moving their learning forward so we will be providing that at a later date as well good evening dr santa cruz governing board members and dr mccord thank you the first slide that i'd like to present to you i first want to point out some features in terms of the visualization what you're looking at as dr newman did describe are two years worth of data typically we should show you three years but because of that spring 2020 lack of state assessment we only have 2019 and 2021.

on the other hand minnechak has two freshmen on their team left wing carrying it up field and she tries to make it once again cacovia get in the way sacrificing her body to make a strong defensive play preventing a scoring opportunity it's now more note carrying it up with speed tries to pass the kantan's already it'll be deflected off a minute jog player and it'll start to go the other way paulus there to overwhelm that attacker and it goes back you saw meadows by so caroline the cast of carrying it's going to go to tallis tallis holding on she'll look to cantanzuriti that'll get through the minichog defender's leg she makes a nice move there but it's grabbed out of dangerous way i think by miniaturx captain if brady's info is correct i believe so oh [Music] coaches on both sides are very into this game right now well so far it's back and forth and it'll be really anybody's game good shot there from minichog's number 20.

in those visualizations you're looking at the grade levels side by side grade three grade four grade five and grade six these are all representative of english language arts proficiency percentages um so those are representing students who earned proficient on those state assessments in those years throughout this presentation the data is organized in this way the blue represents gilbert public schools the orange represents maricopa county percentages and the gray represents the state of arizona so as you can see over the two-year span we do follow the trend of the maricopa county and state of arizona averages however we outperform both the maricopa county and state considerably as you can also see we have declines in each area however i want to really highlight grade four noticing that that is a one percent decline which is very statistically insignificant and although it is blown up to highlight the images that is a very flat line that we're looking at also sixth grade percentages 57 to 54 percent that is a three percent decline overall gilbert public schools have an average decline of four percent across the four grade levels whereas maricopa county has a 6.75 percent decrease and the state of arizona has a total of 7.25 percent in the area of english language arts uh can i ask a question um i just wonder because we had a different test in 2019 the az merit and now we have the azmerit too does does the differences between the tests because this was the first time with azmerity would that also have an impact on the decline that's a good question certainly those changes do impact these results we cannot say that the change from emerit in 2019 to azm2 ela and mathematics in 2020 which we didn't have because of school closures and then the final administration that occurred in 2021 they certainly impacted those data again looking forward and we'll talk about this more spring of 2022 we're going to see yet another piece of fruit thrown into this mix because we're introducing a new assessment again okay thank you you're welcome thank you moving forward this graph is mathematics these are state assessment results it is organized in the same way throughout for your ease of interpretation again blue represents gilbert public schools orange represents maricopa county and gray represents those state of arizona average percentage correct as you can see we continue to follow those trends that we saw at maricopa county and the state of arizona however we outperform both populations significantly again pointing out that third grade fourth grade fifth grade sixth grade we do follow those trends however we see that those declines are less severe for gilbert public schools and i think one of the things that this really highlights for us is the fact that we continued to be about the business of instruction and serving students despite those many changes that mrs humphries indicated and we continue to work through summarizing the elementary proficiency and growth accountability data i do want to highlight i'm not going to repeat those highlights in terms of outperforming the county and state however i do want to highlight that 16 of our 18 elementary schools that were eligible for those english language learner accountability growth and proficiency points earned 80 percent or more in that category so again highlighting that even with our most vulnerable populations gilbert public schools teachers and administrators continue to assess students progress where they are and continue to work with them and provide intentional and dynamic supports to move them forward to combat potential learning loss that they may have experienced also moving forward looking at growth data remembering in the k-8 formula growth data is the largest category that makes up that a to f uh proficiency formula so thinking looking at this growth data i want to highlight that we had 22 of our 26 elementary schools earn 45 of 50 of those growth cap excuse me growth accountability points which is really phenomenal because growth data represents meeting students where they are in their learning at a given point in time and moving them forward with intentional dynamic consistent instructional supports and working with them and that's really a tribute to our teachers and our administrators on our campuses and of course our students and our families that support those kiddos so i do want to call that out also eight of eight of our title schools also earned 45 of 50 growth points again even our most vulnerable populations we continue to meet students where they are and work with them and move them forward all right so we're going to transition to talking about our secondary schools um copying the exact same format and everything in regard to the legend is exactly the same as what mrs burton just explained for you guys so i am just going to continue to expand on the performance data for ela for secondary schools with all of those same notes that she made in effect so for our secondary schools there's three grade levels that we are able to pull data from to be able to show that trend from 2019 to 2021 even though during both of those years there were additional assessments these are the three grade levels that have a data point from 2019 and 2021.

gianna sakowski keep those shots low you know let them skip up on the wet turf it can be really difficult save for a goalie yeah i also got some rebounds too low shots are always nice deforio did a great job containing that shot though and denying the you rebound slippery too with wet conditions nice safe it's not roman grabbing onto that ball on the left side and it'll be miniature gaining possession once again and they'll go up the right side number 13. sarah swallow solo sarah solo solo you seem to have some sort of personal connection that you know this last name yes and uh we have some subs coming in for the spartans number 10 abby davis and number 20 we have stefan yellow corey i always get that name wrong for some reason did you get to write that though i think i did mr freeman's clarifying that it's just steffy so we'll go with steffy a little bit easier makes our life a little bit easier cool name though if you got it right i think it is stefania i'm gonna put money on it what i'd presume is italian 10 43 remaining in this first half spartans are up one nothing it'll be minichog with a throne here fans seem to be kind of quiet tonight chad i don't know if it's yeah because of the uh not a big show out well it just might be like the day you know it was kind of gloomy dark nobody likes sitting there you know that stands too also yeah the wet bleachers got to be killing people i see all these you know these back rests that people have brought it's a good invention i didn't even notice that until now genius fun fact my father used to uh yes gregory doback used to uh give some chairs out to the high school they were bleacher chairs and you could rent them oh and all proceeds would go to the high school but they no longer they no longer do that good guy greg he's all right gotta love him it'll be in tanzania with the ball there she makes the throwing and it goes minichog's way now they're gonna try and advance it past midfield here and they're able to but nice touch by roman able to get it back to machowski and tries to get it going the other way but minchog is able to get possession again that ball goes out of bounds off of a miniature player it'll be steffy with corey now with the thought mr freeman's having a dance battle with himself up here it looks like he's having a great time we're having a great time tonight here at east long meadow high school it's a tuesday night red sox season yeah might have to break that down during uh halftime some boss in sports it'll be minichog now with the ball they're looking to get something going and it'll go out of bounds off the back side that'll be a goal kick and subs coming in for the sparrings number five kaylu kasich is subbing out [Music] two defenders set back in case of something like this minichog seems to be applying some pressure here spartans have got to get this out of the zone [Music] maintaining offensive pressure here and that'll be clear by selmetto but it's going back into minijug's offensive zone kekovia finally able to kind of clear it oh now the fans are coming alive dude it's tripped up there that should be a call yeah i know will be let me ask you a question brady have you ever gotten a longer seat than a receipt from cvs chad what you are holding in your hands currently right now this is an extremely long receipt i'm not really sure i mean it's it's a good two to three two and a half three feet i would is this half you would say four almost i don't know maybe three say it's two and a half three my friend yeah one what are you six foot uh yeah yeah it's not around i'm gonna go with three but this is a ridiculously longer seat what did this person buy it was me and i oh you bought gotten to buy a reese's and a coffee you bought a starbucks frappe mocha sticks in an extra spearmint and this receipt is three feet long unbelievable but you got a lot of coupons here so you could use those in the future if you want to get more coffee coming reese's by the way back to the game all right and sub coming out for the spartans number two emma catanzariti it's wayne right trying to gain control that most definitely was touched by a miniature player at the last second there before it went out of bounds but the ref didn't see it so you do get 40 off maybelline cosmetics chad and mr freeman wearing my receipt now as a bow tie yeah very stylish mr freeman snazzy [Music] three feet some crazy stuff laquari now recovering for you somehow makes a nice pass to wayne right all right carrying it up and that ends up going back miniature spartans seem to be slowing down a little bit here gotta get this ball out cory will have a throw in hopefully they can get it into the offensive zone need some attack time there's 4 35 remaining it is a one-nothing game goal scored by haley brown number 23 assisted by number 22 ainsley smith and that is the only one tonight [Music] cory will try and intercept that with the head ball but it gets just past her and the jog now with another throwing mr uh mr freeman has made me a receipt bow tie here which has been placed in my head and around my neck now you know it's pretty stylish i think now i can't use those coupons uh you know what you might be able to chad you might be able to uh you can bring me to cvs or walgreens or wherever this is from you can bring me and they'll just you know scan my bow tie here and brady is now back we'll be on our way 40 off maybelline cosmetics instantly bang just like that i think i might just exchange you as a whole for 40 off some shampoo well that's not very nice chad that is not very nice another throw in here i think i'm worth a little bit more than just some basic walgreen shampoo i'd maybe give you 50 off 50 off that's pushing it though and hayley brown let's get back to this place a hit there on number nine's up for miniature katie slattery it'll be fergus with the ball advancing it back to fergus and it'll be some middle able to clear it mini chuck dominating these last kind of ten minutes in this half really keeping the ball in the offensive zone of the sparrings in you can just kind of tell that they're getting a little tired yeah we'll hope that you saw metal can hold on until the half and take or get some reassessment it's a little break i mean i'm sure minichog's defenders are well rested at this point and you saw meadows attackers probably are well arrested as well so if they can get something going offensively maybe something can happen hopefully hold it in the offensive zone and give wayne right nice move there yeah tries to cross to the inside but nobody's in and minnetonka will bobble it for a second but then is able to roll it out to one of her midfielders who's trying to make a play in this final minute 40.

unfortunately there are some assessments that we either don't have data for or the assessment changed or went away so it's only for one of the years which i'll i'll go into a little bit more detail later on but to look at the two i'm sorry the three grade levels that we can focus on for ela we have our seventh eighth and tenth grade and you will notice similar to our elementary our schools were able to um show that same yes there was that decline in the in the trend however we are still well above where maricopa county and our state are at and even in some areas where like mrs burton said there it's significantly not statistically significant because for example in the seventh grade you see it's a two percent decrease and so given all of those outliers um that would be considered not decrease in a flat line data point to begin with and so in the seventh grade you see that we only had the two percent to decrease in eighth grade the three percent and then we do see that in the tenth grade um we did see a little larger of a decrease but we are wanting to celebrate that we are still maintaining that trend being above the county and the state for our ela and in addition to that we have i just want to point out that one of the assessments that is the same that we are going to share like dr newman shared with you guys at a later point is our a.c.t our students did take the a c t and there is a reading and writing component of that assessment in 2019 um unfortunately we don't have the data for about another month for the 2021 administration and as soon as we have that we'll we'll provide that over to you guys to be able to see those trends as well which will we're excited to get that because we'll be able to compare the same assessment from 2019 and then in 2020 they didn't take the assessment at that same time but we were able to test those students in the fall of 20 i guess the fall of last year and so we will have three years of act data to be able to look at and so we're excited to be able to bring that back to you at a later point and then to transition into our math data for the secondary schools again we have that consistency with seventh grade eighth grade and tenth grade and you will see the exact same thing where we were able to defy the trend and show that our decrease is above maricopa county and the state but what i'm most excited about and i've been looking forward to sharing is in our eighth grade uh the teachers the the parents the students should all be celebrating and that sets us up even for their future going into those high school years you'll notice that that trend went up by three percent and that's given everything i feel like our entire data presentation as mrs burton and i were putting this together you you can look at that as there's a lot of decreases or slight decreases or flatline data and it would be easy to get caught up with that but to see that there are still areas where you see an increase i just feel like it's really important to highlight that and and to celebrate it because outside of some of those variables we were able to overcome and outshine not only the state the county but even that norm that we had two years ago with the trend that was there all right i think that's all we have for math so moving on to the secondary uh performance summary we did in addition to and this is across the board we were able to outperform the maricopa county and state percentage proficient average points at all of our secondary levels in those categories of assessment and in the spring um just and it's been brought up a couple of times but i do think it's important for everybody to recognize that you are comparing azmerit data to azm2 data and in addition to that we did have when we start looking at the accountability measurements we had five of our secondary schools that were eligible for el learners in that category and we're able to earn 80 percent or more of the el proficiency and growth points which really is a a huge point to celebrate for several different reasons our schools these are with our el population it's an area that our schools have specifically been targeting so to see this data it shows that what our coordinators are doing what our teachers are doing what our administrators are doing if they're focusing and this is a school-wide goal for them we're seeing that increase even through everything that's going on so we were excited to reach out to some of those schools and just share that specific data with them and then uh with growth data you're going to hear brandi and i are going to go back and forth from elementary to secondary but there are a couple of differences and one of them is with the growth data so if you guys recall a couple of years ago i believe it was in 2018 or 2019 in 2019 our secondary high school level no longer used growth as a measurement within the accountability measure and for the school letter grade accountability and so our junior highs still do that's similar to that k-8 school business rules that brandi mentioned earlier and our junior highs did a really great job as well as the elementary data that mrs burton shared six of our seven junior highs received 40 points or higher in this category and again for them this is the largest category that they can receive points in so it's just showing that significant impact that we're having in the classroom and meeting students where they are and increasing what where their performance is at and then at the secondary level we'll dive into some highlights later on as they don't have growth data so moving forward because of the challenging events of the last 18 months that we're all very familiar with learning loss has been at the forefront of many academic discussions to address this need gilbert public schools has employed the use of universal screeners to assess students academic risks in both reading and mathematics universal screeners are short form assessments that are designed to assess a student's risk of not meeting reading or math benchmarks also known as learning goals for the school year we utilize these assessments as i said in both reading and mathematics so one of the things that we wanted to highlight because we are very concerned about keeping students growing in their learning and continuing to move them forward is highlighting the universal screener data from fall of 2020 when we were online and not in person we had implemented a brand new platform learned the platform via webex which was a challenge and then trained all of our stakeholders and then completed those screenings one-to-one via webex with students in their homes two fall of 2021 thankfully far more typical in our school buildings face to face with our kiddos and our teachers and we did see an increase in students who were on track to meeting reading and mathematic learning goals between those two data points so that's a positive thing k3 reading which is corresponding to our move on when reading legislature that we monitor very closely for students we saw that two percent increase in students meeting those learning goals for the school year in reading and in mathematics k2 doesn't have the same legislation just over a one percent increase in the number of students who are on track for meeting mathematics learning goals in the 21 22 school year moving forward i wanted to we wanted to show you um some more quantifiable data and just bear with me because i want to point out some of the features on the slide and also if you are like me and have a hard time seeing that little teeny tiny table that's projected on your screens and the folders that you have we have a hard copy that is a little bit more easy to read i did want to point out to you that what you are seeing on this particular table is all of our elementary schools the those schools that are shaded in blue are our title campuses and you have the 2019 actual accountability points that those schools earned for that year according to the 2019 adaf business rule and cut points compared to are estimated 2021 accountability points why are they estimated well the state issued a moratorium on a to f letter grades for spring of 2021 data and for that reason they presented all of our uh validated and credentialed data to us however they did not um complete the formula and give us those totals and so what i what i what we did excuse me is we utilized that 2019 business rule and cut score to calculate this estimated total points and the reason we did that is to like i said quantify that progress from 2019 to 2021 okay and as you can see excuse me 14 of our schools saw an increase in accountability points between those two years some of them significantly so and so once again i want to point out that this really is an attribute to our teachers and our principals and our school staff and the work that they're doing in addition to all of us at district to support students in their learning thinking about meeting students where they are and moving them forward finally elementary highlights first i want to look at growth 10 schools four of them being title those four title schools were burke elementary boulder creek oak tree and playa del rey earned 50 of 50 growth points in that accountability category very phenomenal also 10 schools who were eligible for english learner proficiency and growth accountability points earned all 10 again one of our most vulnerable populations making significant progress and growth over those that period of time finally i wanted to give some specific campuses some shout outs because we saw some really exponential growth from 2019 to 2021 in terms of proficiency ashland ranch and gilbert elementary increased their grade three math proficiency by 14 percentage points from 2019 to 2021.
