GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT. SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORKSHOP IS TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE 2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT RAN FROM JANUARY THROUGH -- THANK YOU. JANUARY THROUGH MARCH. MORE THAN 3700 BILLS WERE INTRODUCED. ABOUT 280 ACTUALLY PASSED BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE. OF THAT WAS A BUDGET, $112 BILLION BUDGET, THE LARGEST IN STATE HISTORY AS WELL AS ABOUT 25 EDUCATION RELATED BILLS. SOME OF THOSE WE WILL REVIEW THIS MORNING. I DO WANT TO REAL QUICK KIND OF SET THE LANDSCAPE FOR YOU. BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS WORKSHOP THAT THE KEY PLAYERS, AS PART OF THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THE GOVERNOR DEFINITELY HAD A HEAVY HAND IN LEGISLATIVE POLICY THIS SESSION ALONG WITH OUR SENATE PRESIDENT AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. THE THREE OF THEM DID IDENTIFY BACK IN THE FALL THEIR MAJOR EDUCATION LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES, AND I THINK FROM SOME OF THOSE, YOU DEFINITELY SEE THE BILLS THAT WE'LL BE REVIEWING TODAY.

SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND TRANSITION BACK TO YOU AND KATIE. Nadia Combs: THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS. I FIRST WANT TO THANK KRISTIN DAVIS AND HER TIME FOR THE COUNTLESS HOURS YOU HAVE SPENT DOING THIS AS WELL AS ALWAYS KEEPING US TO DATE REGULARLY, BY TEXT AND BY E-MAIL WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN LEGISLATION. I'LL HAND IT OVER TO YOU, MS. DAVIS. Kristin Davis: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE GOVERNOR DID EMPHASIZE -- PROBABLY REMEMBER BACK IN A PRESS CONFERENCE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDENT ASSESSMENT OVERHAUL. THE INCREASE OF TEACHER PAY. SO STUDENT ASSESSMENT OVERHAUL WE'LL BE REVIEWING AND TEACHER PAY AND PROHIBITING CERTAIN INSTRUCTION AND PARTICULARLY LGBTQ PLUS AND THAT OF COURSE WE SEE IN 1557. THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE EMPHASIZED HIS PRIORITY BACK IN THE FALL ON ADDITIONAL PROPERTY EXEMPTIONS FOR CRITICAL STATE EMPLOYEES. INCLUDES TEACHERS WHICH WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $50,000 EXEMPTION AND THAT'S PART OF A BILL THAT WILL GO TO THE VOTERS AND THE GENERAL ELECTION. ALSO AROUND PROHIBITING CERTAIN INSTRUCTION, CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND EXPANSION OF SCHOOL CHOICE JUST LIKE OUR SENATE PRESIDENT, HIS PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED AROUND MINIMUM WAGE, PART OF THE BUDGET. VOUCHERS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS WHICH WE HAVE EMPHASIZED IN THE EXPANSION OF THOSE. -- WILL BE REVIEWING TWO BILLS ON THAT. I WANT TO SET THE STAGE BECAUSE BACK IN THE FALL, MANY OF THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED, YOU SAW, READ ABOUT AND NOW WILL BE REVIEWING.

GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT. SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORKSHOP IS TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE 2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT RAN FROM JANUARY THROUGH -- THANK YOU.

THE THREE OF THEM DID IDENTIFY BACK IN THE FALL THEIR MAJOR EDUCATION LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES, AND I THINK FROM SOME OF THOSE, YOU DEFINITELY SEE THE BILLS THAT WE'LL BE REVIEWING TODAY.

SO THE GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP ARE TO GO THROUGH ABOUT 11 BILLS WE'LL RUN THROUGH TO TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES, THE IMPACT TO HCPS. PERHAPS ANY FISCAL IMPACT. WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH SCHOOL BOARD ATTORNEY MR. PORTER AND JEFF GIBSON ON IMPLICATIONS IN TARNALS OF WHAT WE SEE IN POLICY. I WANT TO SAY THAT MANY TIMES WE DON'T KNOW YET UNTIL WHAT POLICY WILL LOOK LIKE UNTIL WE GET RULE MAKING FROM DOE WHICH WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED BUT WE'RE KEEPING THE PULSE ON IT. WE'LL JUMP IN AND GO THROUGH THE POWERPOINT SLIDE AND KEEP QUESTIONS UNTIL THE END. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND THAT WAS JUST THE SLIDE TO SHOW YOU THE BILLS AND THEN OF COURSE THE BUDGET BUT I TALKED TO IT. I APOLOGIZE. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD INTO SENATE BILL 1048, STUDENT ASSESSMENTS WITH MR. CONNOR WHICH WAS SIGNED INTO LAW MARCH 15. GOOD MORNING, BOARD.

THE GOVERNOR DID EMPHASIZE -- PROBABLY REMEMBER BACK IN A PRESS CONFERENCE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDENT ASSESSMENT OVERHAUL. THE INCREASE OF TEACHER PAY. SO STUDENT ASSESSMENT OVERHAUL WE'LL BE REVIEWING AND TEACHER PAY AND PROHIBITING CERTAIN INSTRUCTION AND PARTICULARLY LGBTQ PLUS AND THAT OF COURSE WE SEE IN 1557.

ALSO AROUND PROHIBITING CERTAIN INSTRUCTION, CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND EXPANSION OF SCHOOL CHOICE JUST LIKE OUR SENATE PRESIDENT, HIS PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED AROUND MINIMUM WAGE, PART OF THE BUDGET. VOUCHERS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS WHICH WE HAVE EMPHASIZED IN THE EXPANSION OF THOSE. -- WILL BE REVIEWING TWO BILLS ON THAT. I WANT TO SET THE STAGE BECAUSE BACK IN THE FALL, MANY OF THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED, YOU SAW, READ ABOUT AND NOW WILL BE REVIEWING.

HAPPY TO HIGHLIGHT SB1048 STUDENT ASSESSMENT. SO AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE INITIATING A NEW PROGRESS MONITORING THAT WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE BEGINNING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THIS WILL REPLACE OUR CURRENT FSA STATEWIDE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT SO WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE FIRST 30 YEARS IS A BASELINE ASSESSMENT TO ALL PRE-K THROUGH 10th GRADE IN READING AND IN MATH. THEN WE'LL BEGIN THE -- THE STATE WILL ALSO OPEN UP A WINDOW AT MID-YEAR FOR ANOTHER PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENT WINDOW WHERE WE'LL DO THE SAME THING AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A THIRD IN THE SPRING, AND THAT WILL BE THE PROVIDED BY THE STATE. SO IN THE BILL, IT DOES DELINEATE THAT IT WILL BE A COMPUTER-BASED ASSESSMENT, AND THAT THE RESULTS WILL BE TURNED AROUND TO TEACHERS AND TO PARENTS WITHIN A ONE TO TWO-WEEK TIME PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY THE BILL DOES OUTLINE THAT ALL REPORTING HAS TO BE EASY TO COMPREHEND AND HAS TO INCLUDE MULTIPLE RESOURCES TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE PROGRESS MONITORING SYSTEM.

SO THE GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP ARE TO GO THROUGH ABOUT 11 BILLS WE'LL RUN THROUGH TO TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES, THE IMPACT TO HCPS. PERHAPS ANY FISCAL IMPACT. WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH SCHOOL BOARD ATTORNEY MR. PORTER AND JEFF GIBSON ON IMPLICATIONS IN TARNALS OF WHAT WE SEE IN POLICY. I WANT TO SAY THAT MANY TIMES WE DON'T KNOW YET UNTIL WHAT POLICY WILL LOOK LIKE UNTIL WE GET RULE MAKING FROM DOE WHICH WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED BUT WE'RE KEEPING THE PULSE ON IT. WE'LL JUMP IN AND GO THROUGH THE POWERPOINT SLIDE AND KEEP QUESTIONS UNTIL THE END. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND THAT WAS JUST THE SLIDE TO SHOW YOU THE BILLS AND THEN OF COURSE THE BUDGET BUT I TALKED TO IT. I APOLOGIZE. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD INTO SENATE BILL 1048, STUDENT ASSESSMENTS WITH MR. CONNOR WHICH WAS SIGNED INTO LAW MARCH 15. GOOD MORNING, BOARD.

ADDITIONALLY, DISTRICTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THOSE RESULTS IN A WEB-BASED PORTAL AND ALSO A PRINTED REPORT MUST BE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE IMPACT TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR IS -- WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY, INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE TO ASSESS ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WITHIN THOSE GRADE BANDS WITHIN THOSE WINDOWS. I KNOW OUR TECHNOLOGY TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING FEVERISHLY ON THAT TO ENSURE WE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION DURING THE FALL OF 2022-23. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE STATEWIDE GRADING SYSTEM WILL BE AN INFORMATIONAL BASELINE NEXT YEAR. SO THEY WILL NOT NECESSARILY COUNT AS THEY HAVE WHERE THE STATE WOULD THEN IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON SCHOOLS NOT PERFORMING ADEQUATELY BECAUSE WE WILL NOT HAVE A GAINS CALCULATION, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR OF THE ADMINISTRATION. WE STILL WILL BE ISSUED GRADES BUT THEY'LL BE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOR NEXT YEAR.

HAPPY TO HIGHLIGHT SB1048 STUDENT ASSESSMENT. SO AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE INITIATING A NEW PROGRESS MONITORING THAT WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE BEGINNING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THIS WILL REPLACE OUR CURRENT FSA STATEWIDE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT SO WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE FIRST 30 YEARS IS A BASELINE ASSESSMENT TO ALL PRE-K THROUGH 10th GRADE IN READING AND IN MATH.

ADDITIONALLY THE BILL DOES OUTLINE THAT ALL REPORTING HAS TO BE EASY TO COMPREHEND AND HAS TO INCLUDE MULTIPLE RESOURCES TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE PROGRESS MONITORING SYSTEM.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR STUDENTS WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE TESTING WINDOWS THROUGH OUR OWN PROGRESS MONITORING SYSTEMS THAT WE'LL SET FORTH. ALSO ADDITIONALLY SOME OF THE IMPACTS IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE PRE-K, K AND ONE FIRST ENTERING INTO SCHOOL WE NEED TO ENSURE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE USING TECHNOLOGY. MAKING SURE THEY CAN NAVIGATE COMPUTERS AND THROUGH THE MOUSE AND ALL THAT SO THEY'LL NEED TO BE SOME PRE-INSTRUCTION INCLUDED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT NECESSARILY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, SO WE'RE LOOKING IN WAYS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE AS THEY TAKE THE COMPUTER-BASED PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENTS. AGAIN, EVERYTHING WILL BE HOLD HARMLESS IN TERMS OF GRADES FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. Kristin Davis: OKAY. THANK YOU. KEEPING WITH MR. CONNOR WE'LL TALK ABOUT SENATE BILL 1054, FINANCIAL LITERACY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD A COUPLE SESSIONS IN A ROW AND ALSO SIGNED INTO LAW AS THE DOROTHY HUKLE ACT WHO PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO FROM CANCER, SO THIS -- I'LL TOSS IT TO MR.

ADDITIONALLY, DISTRICTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THOSE RESULTS IN A WEB-BASED PORTAL AND ALSO A PRINTED REPORT MUST BE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE IMPACT TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR IS -- WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY, INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE TO ASSESS ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WITHIN THOSE GRADE BANDS WITHIN THOSE WINDOWS. I KNOW OUR TECHNOLOGY TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING FEVERISHLY ON THAT TO ENSURE WE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION DURING THE FALL OF 2022-23.

WE STILL WILL BE ISSUED GRADES BUT THEY'LL BE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOR NEXT YEAR.

CONNOR. YES. THIS IS EXCITING. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO AT LEAST OFFER FINANCIAL LITERACY ELECTIVES THROUGH STATUTE LAST YEAR AT EVERY SCHOOL. NOW THIS TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND REQUIRES THAT FINANCIAL LITERACY COMPONENT FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENTERING NINTH GRADE NOT THIS YEAR BUT NEXT YEAR IN 23-24. SO THIS ACTUALLY DOESN'T TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THE TWO YEARS FROM NOW. IT WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED ELECTIVES FROM EIGHT TO SEVEN AND A HALF BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A HALF CREDIT ELECTIVE COURSE OFFERING. AND FORTUNATELY FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, WE HAVE SOME GOOD STARTING POINT WITH SOME COURSES LIKE PERSONAL FINANCE THAT WE INCLUDE IN MANY OF OUR COURSE OFFERINGS AND WE'LL BE LOOK WITH -- WORKING WITH OUR CTE DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH ACADEMIC SERVICES TEAM TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE REALLY ROBUST CURRICULUM, WORKING WITH TEACHERS POTENTIALLY TEACHING THE COURSE AND IDENTIFYING WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WILL LOOK LIKE.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR STUDENTS WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE TESTING WINDOWS THROUGH OUR OWN PROGRESS MONITORING SYSTEMS THAT WE'LL SET FORTH. ALSO ADDITIONALLY SOME OF THE IMPACTS IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE PRE-K, K AND ONE FIRST ENTERING INTO SCHOOL WE NEED TO ENSURE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE USING TECHNOLOGY. MAKING SURE THEY CAN NAVIGATE COMPUTERS AND THROUGH THE MOUSE AND ALL THAT SO THEY'LL NEED TO BE SOME PRE-INSTRUCTION INCLUDED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT NECESSARILY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, SO WE'RE LOOKING IN WAYS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE AS THEY TAKE THE COMPUTER-BASED PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENTS.

THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD A COUPLE SESSIONS IN A ROW AND ALSO SIGNED INTO LAW AS THE DOROTHY HUKLE ACT WHO PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO FROM CANCER, SO THIS -- I'LL TOSS IT TO MR.

BUT IT WILL BE A REQUIREMENT MOVING FORTH FOR NINTH GRADERS ENTERING IN 23-24. Kristin Davis: ALL RIGHT. AND HOUSE BILL 1647 TITLED K-12 EDUCATION. THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS. I'LL START WITH THE FIRST ONE ON SCHOOL BOARD TERM LIMITS AND MR. CONNOR WILL TALK ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. SO AS YOU KNOW, FIRST CAME OUT DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WE HAD A FEW LEGISLATORS WHO WANTED TO COMPLETELY REMOVE BOARD MEMBER SALARIES. THAT DID CHANGE THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS TO EIGHT-YEAR TERM LIMITS BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE HOUSE. TWELVE-YEAR TERM LIMITS BY THE HOUSE AND AGREED UPON 12 YEAR TERM LIMITS SOETHAT'S PART OF 1467 SIGNED INTO LAW MARCH 25 AND WILL TAKE EFFECT THIS NOVEMBER AND ESSENTIALLY GRANDFATHERED IN SO 12 YEARS FROM NOW. AND I'LL TOSS IT TO TERRY TO TALK ABOUT -- YEAH. IN TERMS OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL PROCESSES, FORTUNATELY THE DISTRICT HAS MANY OF THESE PROCESSES ALREADY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE STRUCTURE WE CURRENTLY UNDERGO FOR ADOPTION.

CONNOR. YES. THIS IS EXCITING. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO AT LEAST OFFER FINANCIAL LITERACY ELECTIVES THROUGH STATUTE LAST YEAR AT EVERY SCHOOL. NOW THIS TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND REQUIRES THAT FINANCIAL LITERACY COMPONENT FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENTERING NINTH GRADE NOT THIS YEAR BUT NEXT YEAR IN 23-24. SO THIS ACTUALLY DOESN'T TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THE TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

AND FORTUNATELY FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, WE HAVE SOME GOOD STARTING POINT WITH SOME COURSES LIKE PERSONAL FINANCE THAT WE INCLUDE IN MANY OF OUR COURSE OFFERINGS AND WE'LL BE LOOK WITH -- WORKING WITH OUR CTE DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH ACADEMIC SERVICES TEAM TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE REALLY ROBUST CURRICULUM, WORKING WITH TEACHERS POTENTIALLY TEACHING THE COURSE AND IDENTIFYING WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WILL LOOK LIKE.

BUT THE BILL SPECIFICALLY DOES SAY THAT EVERY DISTRICT WILL REQUIRE TO HOLD PUBLIC NOTICED MEETINGS WHEN THE ADOPTION COMMITTEES CONVENE TO SELECT MATERIALS. AND THAT MUST INCLUDE PARENTS AND STUDENTS. IT DOES MODIFY THE REQUIREMENT THAT EACH DISTRICT PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT WILL BE USED FOR SPECIFIC REQUIRED INSTRUCTION. DISTRICTS MUST PROVIDE ACCESS TO ALL MATERIALS, EXCLUDING THE TEACHER EDITION, AT LEAST 20 CALENDAR DAYS BEFORE THE DISTRICT TAKES ANY ACTIONS WHICH WE CURRENTLY DO. SELECT, APPROVE ADOPT OR PURCHASE MATERIALS AS A SEPARATE LINE ON THE AGENDA RATHER THAN THE CONSENT AGENDA AND HAVE A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALREADY DO. SOMETHING NEW IS THAT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING TO THE DOUGH AN ANNUAL REPORT -- DOE AN ANNUAL REPORT OF EACH MATERIALS OBJECTED TO IN A SPECIFIC SCHOOL YEAR AND SPECIFIC REASONS FOR THE OBJECTIONS, AND EACH MATERIAL THAT WAS REMOVED OR DISCONTINUED AS A RESULT OF THE OBJECTION BY A GRADE LEVEL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE DOE.

BUT IT WILL BE A REQUIREMENT MOVING FORTH FOR NINTH GRADERS ENTERING IN 23-24. Kristin Davis: ALL RIGHT. AND HOUSE BILL 1647 TITLED K-12 EDUCATION. THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS. I'LL START WITH THE FIRST ONE ON SCHOOL BOARD TERM LIMITS AND MR. CONNOR WILL TALK ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. SO AS YOU KNOW, FIRST CAME OUT DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AND I'LL TOSS IT TO TERRY TO TALK ABOUT -- YEAH. IN TERMS OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL PROCESSES, FORTUNATELY THE DISTRICT HAS MANY OF THESE PROCESSES ALREADY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE STRUCTURE WE CURRENTLY UNDERGO FOR ADOPTION.

THEN THE DOE WILL BE PUBLISHING A LIST FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF ALL THOSE MATERIALS THAT WERE OBJECTED TO OR REJECTED. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL NEED TO ADVERTISE THE DATE AND LOCATIONS OF OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR THE PUBLIC TO PARTICIPATE IN. ANOTHER IMPACT IS WE CURRENTLY ADVERTISE ON THE WEBSITE ALL THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND WE WILL BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHICH ONES ARE SPECIFIED FOR REQUIRED INSTRUCTION GOING INTO NEXT YEAR. WE'LL ALSO BE PROVIDING ACCESS TO ALL RECOMMENDED MATERIALS FOR ADOPTIONS 20 DAYS OUT BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BEFORE THE BOARD WILL TAKE ANY OFFICIAL ACTION ON IT. ANOTHER IMPACT IS THAT WE WILL MAINTAIN A LIST OF MATERIALS FOR WHICH THE DISTRICT RECEIVED AN OBJECTION TO AND THE SPECIFICS TO THAT OBJECTION, AND WHY THAT WAS REMOVED OR OBJECTED BY GRADE LEVEL, COURSE, AND INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE REPORT TO THE DOE. IN TERMS OF LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES, THE NEW BILL DOES REQUIRE THAT EACH BOOK MADE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERED OR INCLUDED ON ANY GRADE LEVEL READING LIST MUST BE SELECTED BY A SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE WHO HOLDS A VALID MEDIA SPECIALIST CERTIFICATE.

BUT THE BILL SPECIFICALLY DOES SAY THAT EVERY DISTRICT WILL REQUIRE TO HOLD PUBLIC NOTICED MEETINGS WHEN THE ADOPTION COMMITTEES CONVENE TO SELECT MATERIALS. AND THAT MUST INCLUDE PARENTS AND STUDENTS. IT DOES MODIFY THE REQUIREMENT THAT EACH DISTRICT PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT WILL BE USED FOR SPECIFIC REQUIRED INSTRUCTION. DISTRICTS MUST PROVIDE ACCESS TO ALL MATERIALS, EXCLUDING THE TEACHER EDITION, AT LEAST 20 CALENDAR DAYS BEFORE THE DISTRICT TAKES ANY ACTIONS WHICH WE CURRENTLY DO. SELECT, APPROVE ADOPT OR PURCHASE MATERIALS AS A SEPARATE LINE ON THE AGENDA RATHER THAN THE CONSENT AGENDA AND HAVE A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALREADY DO. SOMETHING NEW IS THAT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING TO THE DOUGH AN ANNUAL REPORT -- DOE AN ANNUAL REPORT OF EACH MATERIALS OBJECTED TO IN A SPECIFIC SCHOOL YEAR AND SPECIFIC REASONS FOR THE OBJECTIONS, AND EACH MATERIAL THAT WAS REMOVED OR DISCONTINUED AS A RESULT OF THE OBJECTION BY A GRADE LEVEL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE DOE.

THAT'S NEW FOR US. REQUIRES THAT THE DOE DEVELOP AN ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LIBRARIANS AND MEDIA SPECIALISTS WHICH INCLUDES TRAINING ON MATERIALS AND SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS AND READING LISTS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN JANUARY 1. PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE SELECTION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MEDIA MATERIALS AND READING LISTS MUST COMPLETE A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE DOE. EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS REQUIRED TO PUBLISH ON ITS WEBSITE A LIST OF ALL MATERIALS MAINTAINED IN THE LIBRARY OR REQUIRED AS PART OF A BOOK LIST USED IN THE CLASSROOM. AND ALSO, EACH DISTRICT WILL BE REQUIRED TO ADOPT AND POST ON THE WEBSITE THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS. IN THE BILL IT DOES STATE THAT PRINCIPALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE COMPLIANCE WITH SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER SELECTION PROCESS TO WHICH THEY ARE ASSIGNED. SO WHAT IMPACT WILL THAT HAVE FOR US?

THEN THE DOE WILL BE PUBLISHING A LIST FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF ALL THOSE MATERIALS THAT WERE OBJECTED TO OR REJECTED. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL NEED TO ADVERTISE THE DATE AND LOCATIONS OF OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR THE PUBLIC TO PARTICIPATE IN. ANOTHER IMPACT IS WE CURRENTLY ADVERTISE ON THE WEBSITE ALL THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND WE WILL BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHICH ONES ARE SPECIFIED FOR REQUIRED INSTRUCTION GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.

IN TERMS OF LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES, THE NEW BILL DOES REQUIRE THAT EACH BOOK MADE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERED OR INCLUDED ON ANY GRADE LEVEL READING LIST MUST BE SELECTED BY A SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE WHO HOLDS A VALID MEDIA SPECIALIST CERTIFICATE.

TRAINING TO INCLUDE THE NEW DOE DEVELOPED ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAMS BEGINNING IN JANUARY. IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES WILL NEED TO POST THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING THE MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS ON EACH SCHOOL'S WEBSITE. PRINCIPALS WILL NEED TO SUPPORT FROM THE LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST DEPARTMENT IN UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING THE LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS TO FULFILL THEIR DUTY IN OVERSEEING COMPLIANCE. AND CLASSROOM TEACHERS WILL REQUIRE SUPPORT FROM THE CONTENT SUPERVISORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS BILL AND CREATING THE RECOMMENDED OR ASSIGNED READING LIST. FORTUNATELY MANY OF THE PRACTICES WE ARE ALREADY COMPLIANT WITH MOST ASPECTS OF THIS BILL. Kristin Davis: ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. CONNOR. WE'LL MOVE ON TO HOUSE BILL 7, INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM BILL SIGNED INTO LAW LAST FRIDAY ON APRIL 22. WE HAVE ONE SLIDE HIGHLIGHTING THIS. YEAH. SO THIS BILL SPECIFICALLY DEFINES INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW AND HAVE INALIENABLE RIGHTS.

THAT'S NEW FOR US. REQUIRES THAT THE DOE DEVELOP AN ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LIBRARIANS AND MEDIA SPECIALISTS WHICH INCLUDES TRAINING ON MATERIALS AND SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS AND READING LISTS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN JANUARY 1. PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE SELECTION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MEDIA MATERIALS AND READING LISTS MUST COMPLETE A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE DOE. EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS REQUIRED TO PUBLISH ON ITS WEBSITE A LIST OF ALL MATERIALS MAINTAINED IN THE LIBRARY OR REQUIRED AS PART OF A BOOK LIST USED IN THE CLASSROOM. AND ALSO, EACH DISTRICT WILL BE REQUIRED TO ADOPT AND POST ON THE WEBSITE THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS. IN THE BILL IT DOES STATE THAT PRINCIPALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE COMPLIANCE WITH SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER SELECTION PROCESS TO WHICH THEY ARE ASSIGNED. SO WHAT IMPACT WILL THAT HAVE FOR US?

REQUIRED INSTRUCTION, ANY MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THESE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. IT AUTHORIZES DISCUSSIONS AND CURRICULA IN AN AGE-APPROPRIATE MANNER REGARDING TOPICS SUCH AS SEXISM, SLAVERY, RACIAL OPPRESSION, RACIAL SEGREGATION AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. INSTRUCTION AND CURRICULA MAY NOT BE USED TO INDOCKRINATE OR PERSUADE STUDENTS TO A PARTICULAR POINT OF VIEW INCONSISTENT WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OR STATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS. EXPANDS AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY INSTRUCTION TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF A PREJUDICE, RACISM AND STEREOTYPING ON INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, AND EXAMINE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL PERSON FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENCOURAGING TOLERANCE OF DIVERSITY FOR PROTECTING DEMOCRATIC VALUES. THERE IS A SHIFT IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADES 9 THROUGH 12 AND A MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH COMPONENT INTO A NEWLY REQUIRED LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION, WHICH SPECIFIES CONTENT INTENDED TO BUILD CONFIDENCE, SUPPORT MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND ENABLE STUDENTS TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES.

TRAINING TO INCLUDE THE NEW DOE DEVELOPED ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAMS BEGINNING IN JANUARY. IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES WILL NEED TO POST THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING THE MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS ON EACH SCHOOL'S WEBSITE. PRINCIPALS WILL NEED TO SUPPORT FROM THE LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST DEPARTMENT IN UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING THE LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER COLLECTIONS TO FULFILL THEIR DUTY IN OVERSEEING COMPLIANCE. AND CLASSROOM TEACHERS WILL REQUIRE SUPPORT FROM THE CONTENT SUPERVISORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS BILL AND CREATING THE RECOMMENDED OR ASSIGNED READING LIST. FORTUNATELY MANY OF THE PRACTICES WE ARE ALREADY COMPLIANT WITH MOST ASPECTS OF THIS BILL. Kristin Davis: ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. CONNOR. WE'LL MOVE ON TO HOUSE BILL 7, INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM BILL SIGNED INTO LAW LAST FRIDAY ON APRIL 22. WE HAVE ONE SLIDE HIGHLIGHTING THIS. YEAH. SO THIS BILL SPECIFICALLY DEFINES INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW AND HAVE INALIENABLE RIGHTS.

SO IN A LOT OF THIS, THE IMPACT FOR US WILL NEED TO DEVELOP THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR TEACHERS TO UNDERSTAND THE ASPECTS OF THE BILL AND ANY SPECIFICS THAT MAY COME OUT OF A STATE RULE. Kristin Davis: THANK YOU. HOUSE BILL 5057, PARENTAL RIGHTS IN EDUCATION. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THAT UP. MR. CONNOR WILL DO THE FIRST SLIDE AROUND INSTRUCTION AND THEN HOLLY SAIA WILL TAKE ON ITEMS FROM STUDENT SERVICES. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MR. CONNOR? YEAH. SO THIS IS A BIG BILL BUT SPECIFICALLY ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL SIDE OF THINGS, SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IN GRADES K THROUGH 3, INSTRUCTION ON SEXUAL IDENTITY OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION BY A THIRD PARTY OR CLASSROOM TEACHER MAY NOT OCCUR AND BEYOND THIRD GRADE, ANY TOPICS SHALL BE AGE APPROPRIATE OR DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE STANDARDS. SO AN IMPACT FOR US IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR OPT OUT FORMS INCLUDE THE NEW LEGISLATION, OUR POLICY AND MORE SPECIFICS ON THE LESSONS THAT WE'LL BE OFFERING IN OUR SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION COMP COMPONENT.

REQUIRED INSTRUCTION, ANY MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THESE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM. IT AUTHORIZES DISCUSSIONS AND CURRICULA IN AN AGE-APPROPRIATE MANNER REGARDING TOPICS SUCH AS SEXISM, SLAVERY, RACIAL OPPRESSION, RACIAL SEGREGATION AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. INSTRUCTION AND CURRICULA MAY NOT BE USED TO INDOCKRINATE OR PERSUADE STUDENTS TO A PARTICULAR POINT OF VIEW INCONSISTENT WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OR STATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS.

THERE IS A SHIFT IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADES 9 THROUGH 12 AND A MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH COMPONENT INTO A NEWLY REQUIRED LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION, WHICH SPECIFIES CONTENT INTENDED TO BUILD CONFIDENCE, SUPPORT MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND ENABLE STUDENTS TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES.

Kristin Davis: AND HOLLY, IF I CAN TOSS IT TO YOU? THANK YOU. SO PART OF THIS BILL AS WELL, DISTRICTS MUST ADOPT PROCEDURES FOR NOTIFYING A STUDENT'S PARENTS IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN THE STUDENT SERVICES OR MONITORING RELATED TO SAID STUDENT'S MELTHAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL HEALTH OR WELL-BEING. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REINFORCE WITH PARENTS THAT THEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS REGARDING THE UPBRINGING AND CONTROL OF THEIR CHILDREN AND IT REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS PERSONNEL TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO DISCUSS ISSUES RELATING TO HIS OR HER WELL-BEING WITH HIS OR HER PARENT OR WE CAN FACILITATE THAT CONVERSATION WITH PARENTS. THE IMPACT THAT WILL HAVE IS THAT WE'LL NEED TO DEVELOP PROCEDURES AND CREATE A TRAINING FOR ALL SCHOOL-BASED ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF INCLUDING WRITTEN GUIDANCE, SPECIFYING WHAT STEPS TO TAKE TO ENSURE THAT A PARENT IS NOTIFIED OF ANY CHANGES IN SERVICE AND IS INVOLVED IN ANY CRITICAL DECISIONS AFFECTING A STUDENT'S MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL OR WELL-BEING.

SO IN A LOT OF THIS, THE IMPACT FOR US WILL NEED TO DEVELOP THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR TEACHERS TO UNDERSTAND THE ASPECTS OF THE BILL AND ANY SPECIFICS THAT MAY COME OUT OF A STATE RULE. Kristin Davis: THANK YOU. HOUSE BILL 5057, PARENTAL RIGHTS IN EDUCATION. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THAT UP. MR. CONNOR WILL DO THE FIRST SLIDE AROUND INSTRUCTION AND THEN HOLLY SAIA WILL TAKE ON ITEMS FROM STUDENT SERVICES. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MR. CONNOR? YEAH. SO THIS IS A BIG BILL BUT SPECIFICALLY ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL SIDE OF THINGS, SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IN GRADES K THROUGH 3, INSTRUCTION ON SEXUAL IDENTITY OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION BY A THIRD PARTY OR CLASSROOM TEACHER MAY NOT OCCUR AND BEYOND THIRD GRADE, ANY TOPICS SHALL BE AGE APPROPRIATE OR DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE STANDARDS. SO AN IMPACT FOR US IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR OPT OUT FORMS INCLUDE THE NEW LEGISLATION, OUR POLICY AND MORE SPECIFICS ON THE LESSONS THAT WE'LL BE OFFERING IN OUR SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION COMP COMPONENT.

IN ADDITION, PROCEDURES MUST INCLUDE DIRECTION ON HOW STAFF SHOULD ENCOURAGE A STUDENT TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH PARENTS, PROCEDURES MAY NOT DISCOURAGE OR PROHIBIT MENTAL NOTIFICATION OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CRITICAL DECISIONS REGARDING THEIR CHILDREN. SO WITH THIS, WE'LL HAVE TO DEFINITELY DO SOME TRAININGS AND CREATE TRAININGS FOR FAMILIES AND FOR OUR STAFF. ALSO, PRIOR TO ADMINISTERING ANY STUDENT WELL-BEING QUESTIONNAIRE OR HEALTH SCREENING FORM, A STUDENT -- FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES K-3, THE DISTRICT MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF THAT QUESTIONNAIRE OR HEALTH SCREENING TO THE PARENT AND OBTAIN PERMISSION TO ADMINISTER THAT SCREENING. PARENT PERMISSION FORMS WILL NEED TO BE CREATED FOR ANY SUCH QUESTIONNAIRES IN GRADES K-3 WITH VERY CLEAR DIRECTIONS PROVIDED FOR ALL ADMINISTRATORS. SO THAT COST WOULD BE THE PRINTING OF THOSE FORMS FOR US. AND THEN ALSO, WITH THIS BILL, EACH DISTRICT SHALL ADOPT PROCEDURES FOR A PARENT TO NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL REGARDING CONCERNS INVOLVING THE SHARING OF STUDENT INFORMATION, QUESTIONNAIRES, AND STUDENT FORMS AT THE SCHOOL SITE AND THE PROCESS FOR RESOLVING ANY CONCERNS WITHIN SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS AFTER NOTIFICATION BY THE PARENT.

Kristin Davis: AND HOLLY, IF I CAN TOSS IT TO YOU? THANK YOU. SO PART OF THIS BILL AS WELL, DISTRICTS MUST ADOPT PROCEDURES FOR NOTIFYING A STUDENT'S PARENTS IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN THE STUDENT SERVICES OR MONITORING RELATED TO SAID STUDENT'S MELTHAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL HEALTH OR WELL-BEING. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REINFORCE WITH PARENTS THAT THEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS REGARDING THE UPBRINGING AND CONTROL OF THEIR CHILDREN AND IT REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS PERSONNEL TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO DISCUSS ISSUES RELATING TO HIS OR HER WELL-BEING WITH HIS OR HER PARENT OR WE CAN FACILITATE THAT CONVERSATION WITH PARENTS.

AT A MINIMUM, THE PROCEDURES MUST REQUIRE THAT WITHIN 30 DAYS, AFTER NOTIFICATION BY THE PARENT, THAT THEY HAVE A CONCERN, THAT IT WILL BE RESOLVED OR THE SCHOOLS MUST PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF REASON AS TO WHY THE CONCERN HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PARENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO REQUEST A REVIEW BY THE STATE OR FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE DISTRICT WITH ALL COSTS TO BE INCURRED BY DISTRICTS. EACH DISTRICTS SHALL ADOPT PROCEDURES TO NOTIFY PARENTS OF THESE RIGHTS. WE MUST ESTABLISH AND COMMUNICATE PROCEDURES FOR A PARENT TO NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL OF CONCERNS REGARDING THIS BILL AND TRAINS ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF OF WHAT THOSE REQUIRED STEPS WILL BE TO ADDRESS THIS BILL. Kristin Davis: OKAY. THANK YOU, HOLLY. SO OUR NEXT BILL, SENATE BILL 2524, TITLED EDUCATION, THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL AN EDUCATION OF CONFORMING BILL THAT ESSENTIALLY GOES ALONG WITH THE BUDGET AND USUALLY WHAT THEY DO IS THEY'RE CLEANING UP STATUTE SO IT MIRRORS WHAT IS BEING PUT IN THE BUDGET.

IN ADDITION, PROCEDURES MUST INCLUDE DIRECTION ON HOW STAFF SHOULD ENCOURAGE A STUDENT TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH PARENTS, PROCEDURES MAY NOT DISCOURAGE OR PROHIBIT MENTAL NOTIFICATION OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CRITICAL DECISIONS REGARDING THEIR CHILDREN. SO WITH THIS, WE'LL HAVE TO DEFINITELY DO SOME TRAININGS AND CREATE TRAININGS FOR FAMILIES AND FOR OUR STAFF. ALSO, PRIOR TO ADMINISTERING ANY STUDENT WELL-BEING QUESTIONNAIRE OR HEALTH SCREENING FORM, A STUDENT -- FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES K-3, THE DISTRICT MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF THAT QUESTIONNAIRE OR HEALTH SCREENING TO THE PARENT AND OBTAIN PERMISSION TO ADMINISTER THAT SCREENING. PARENT PERMISSION FORMS WILL NEED TO BE CREATED FOR ANY SUCH QUESTIONNAIRES IN GRADES K-3 WITH VERY CLEAR DIRECTIONS PROVIDED FOR ALL ADMINISTRATORS. SO THAT COST WOULD BE THE PRINTING OF THOSE FORMS FOR US. AND THEN ALSO, WITH THIS BILL, EACH DISTRICT SHALL ADOPT PROCEDURES FOR A PARENT TO NOTIFY THE PRINCIPAL REGARDING CONCERNS INVOLVING THE SHARING OF STUDENT INFORMATION, QUESTIONNAIRES, AND STUDENT FORMS AT THE SCHOOL SITE AND THE PROCESS FOR RESOLVING ANY CONCERNS WITHIN SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS AFTER NOTIFICATION BY THE PARENT.

BUT ALSO, OTHER THINGS TRICKLE IN WITH IT TOO SO WE'LL HIGHLIGHT A FEW ADDITIONAL ITEMS AND TERRY WILL GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE FIRST ONE ON ASSESSMENTS. THIS IS JUST -- EXCUSE ME. SO THE DOE WILL BE COLLECTING THE RANGE AND MEDIAN NUMBER OF MINUTES PER SCHOOL PER YEAR OF THE TIME SPENT TESTING ON DISTRICT REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS AND STATE REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES PRE-K THROUGH 5. WE ALREADY DO SUBMIT A CALENDAR TO THEM WHICH THE BOARD APPROVES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND WE POST ON THE WEBSITE BY OCTOBER EACH YEAR. THIS JUST CODIFIES THAT IN LAW AND THAT IS IT FOR THAT ONE. Kristin Davis: ANOTHER PORTION RELATED TO CONTROLLED OPEN ENROLLMENT IN 2524 IS RELATED TO CHOICE INFORMATION AND NOTIFICATION SO IT WOULD REQUIRE -- PUT STATUTE THAT EVERY 12 WEEKS ON THE WEBSITE, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE INFORMATION RELATED TO SCHOOL CAPACITY AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AGAIN RELATED FOR THE PURPOSES OF CONTROLLED OPEN ENROLLMENT.
