001okay and any person who has requested individual notices [Music] god uh it is a difficult situation and i know they are making the best of it so i appreciate everything that everyone does all the way to the bottom you know you take it one day at a time with dr dress hi good morning all right [Music] next up is middle congratulations congratulations and we're moving on to the high school with mr smith congratulations now we'll move on to the gem awards and we'll start with um uh all right now congratulations and we're going to go to small school and forever [Music] um congratulations uh [Music] congratulations next up is mr smith [Music] computer science and formal um he is a teacher a learner a cheerleader and a coach mr roman check the manager for himself
002[Music] areas congratulations um mr smith how many appeals did he successfully have for graduation um unfortunately [Music] so which is good for us um we'll make a dramatic number shortly um moving on [Music] uh um based on census data so low income families schools qualify for their funding based off of freely used lunch numbers title one follows from the us department of education and um the department of ed allocates the funds to boundaries based on the number of low-income students that we have the title one school spend the funds allocated based on the annual school planning system each of our individual schools in the district develops their own plan based off of their goals and their needs um boundaries districts we can implement a school-wide title one program so what that means for us is
003we service all of our students based off of data so students who need additional support within the classrooms and we must provide additional resources for students often when we talk about title one programs you'll hear the words um supplement not the plan so we cannot use funds to pay for our core programs we can't replace things um programs for example like summer or after school programs parent involvement professional development we use our um to upgrade the entire educational program um our funds are used to serve all children in order to raise academic achievement and our fundraisers provide additional assistance supplemental instruction it's after the direct instruction occurs it also varies depending on the needs and ages of our students um we focus on the critical areas of effective reading phonemic awareness chronic fluency vocabulary development
004and comprehension we also focus in the higher grades on mathematics asi which is our academic support instructors we have these at eighth grade level they provide both in-class and pull-out instruction they receive additional professional development throughout the school year they communicate constantly with classroom teachers and other specialists that work with children they do not embrace um as an afi teacher now this year um and they support the school district's instructional program by collecting student data so they will use the vra3 they'll use the linkedin assessment they may use assessment they may use a um you know they analyze that data they look for gas and student achievement and then those are the students that they serve there were collaboratively and fashion teachers and grade level teams um they employ daily instructional and interventional strategies to
005address the student's needs under the supervision of district administration um we develop and deliver instructions leaders have been identified um we also make sure that all of our students that qualify for our academic support also go through the inrs project uh process so that you can maintain records and documentation on services may focus on literacy and mathematics although we may provide additional services science and social studies instruction pull out services center primarily targeting student deficiencies and utilizes specific um instructional strategies or interventions specific questions or concerns on his parents households they can be addressed by the classroom teacher or the asi teacher through account conference times for at any time throughout the school year parents are encouraged to constantly or continually reach out um as well as the instructors reaching out to them so asi
006will always outline the skills the child is revealing um they're there to help parents understand what skills should be reinforced at home and it's important to note that intervention time and materials are adjusted according to individual students needs so they may not necessarily coincide with the direct instructions happening in the classes it depends on what deficiencies we're seeing in the students each school create elite um will develop their own plan we have this plan foreign we've developed programs that add to the regular classroom instruction and we try to increase plan involvement in all aspects the school-wide plan is developing with input from various stakeholders so we're required to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment each year to identify student and staff needs and to determine appropriate programs so the stakeholders um this is made up of
007parents and guardians uh the principal of each building teachers in the building other staff members students and then we also try to involve um outside community members and organizations on our team how can parents be involved well we have a building base for white crime building um we also have this fall meeting that we're having in the spring we'll have another meeting we have a parent academy of success right now we're putting together a couple literacy events that will take place hopefully um in person but right now it's looking like virtual um over the winter months uh the principles usually have meetings with coffee hours um we also have ongoing communications such as email home uh the essay law requires that all title one schools and families work together so as i said you can
008become a part of the annual school planning team um you can have school-level political involvement meetings and we have a private school contact uh descriptions of these are all posted on the district's website as far as our obligation will be convened requirements that's what's happening tonight we also need to offer meetings and flexible time so those for our um and we're also supposed to provide parents upsetting our students with timely information and that's why the district's website is key here because everything will be posted there in english and spanish as the documents so three things that you should look for on the website it's the parent right to um all of our teachers are highly qualified and we certify that on the website as well we also have a parent contact which and just some
009things to remind you you're your child's first teacher you have the ability to influence your child's education more than anything and you know your child best so it should be a way on communication share information about your child as well as sharing um you know things insights that we have these are just some important links related to training and that's it if anybody has any questions i'd be happy to answer them for me um and if not on foreign this year we also spoke to um the county office because we do have um staff members who are working alongside another staff member so for example an esl teacher may be co-speaking with an elementary teacher as long as that elementary school certifications and dsl teachers supporting that destruction um [Music] um [Music] um you know
010there's a number of different things to talk about um a lot of good stuff [Music] um him about the extra prep and um that two teachers were asking for i'm just wondering why is only two teachers they have a fifth fourth or fifth preparation by contracting against two thousand dollars [Music] um yes yes six personal resolutions [Music] any questions that was done last year at high school um they decided to try out four hours for kids um that seemed to go pretty well last year um [Music] um you know skipping out in fact so there there are consequences to that regularly um just let you know that this past saturday has come is um [Music] is yes [Music] yes moving on to 7.1 while the superintendent recommends for approval the resolution is outlined um [Music]
011um yes [Music] okay so from march to june [Music] um [Music] um [Music] um after thanksgiving given the fact that other districts are worried about not only the staff needing the safety and having failed family gatherings but students leaving the state and they i back to school i don't know what happened right um [Music] is that are [Music] i talking about literally [Music] different sizes here there's a lot of high schools [Music] that's how it is just constantly [Music] foreign teachers were already [Music] really what you want to know is forget traveling are you seeing anyone else that's outside your household are we now asking every night they go home who are you singing tonight and you know i don't think to go someplace but um not going to um what we're finding in school
012is we hear the stories of the kids where they're going yeah thanksgiving traditionally college kids come home what group of people have their problems right now it's the younger people that are in social settings that's the college age kids the 20 year olds that's that's part of the concern and that's just what i wanted to add it's not necessarily that we are planning on because most of us are locked down on the weekends it's the people that are coming to the house as family and you know they have a tendency not to wear masks when family is around and they say that the number one uh reason why people are that the numbers are going up is because of their small family social gatherings and that was the concern for the events again yeah i
013mean today you know about being diligent um [Music] the protocols [Music] which is what most of the colleges that i have uh you know if you're gonna after christmas [Music] and everything else stay at home [Music] a reminder second order um you don't know that um is every distance the last thing i heard was they were on their way together i know but you're gonna need time later that's the highest okay so i know the number looks large but when you break it down by classroom so i know what i'm saying is not the popular statement in your hands [Music] now here's the other problem i can open up the mouth there in the attic but it's not going to take care off yet it's not going to take care of the middle so you
014still have two holes where you can't fit those um to make it work right it's the same concept at lafayette and at the attics because to me if you're going to do it at the middle school for one or two kids what's the difference if you do it at each of those other questions well if you're not going to do it then don't do it and then at that point in time then it's very simple you're going to probably be yeah and if we're going to go we got to notify everybody out there and um there's going to be an increased concern is [Music] you gotta remember [Music] another big area somewhere i think you're wrong i think parents will say i need my kid to go somewhere i i have to work and they'll
015put them there i don't even know if it's a real option i'm just saying again [Music] right and then what you're doing is pulling a couple kids from this so you're pulling them away from the teacher they've been with them such a yeah in terms of then backlash they're not in the building with their friends they're they're not getting special they're not getting this they're not getting them [Music] it [Music] well how does everybody i personally feel like i why don't we do this is [Music] some sort of mock-up for you to show you how to work [Music] you know when everybody asked the first goal and they had that high number my hardest thing to tell you furniture um is um here's what we're doing are you coming or not that means these numbers
016still could change which which i know is impossible to do i understand i'm not saying right or wrong absolutely no that's what i mean no matter what you say these numbers are going to change on november 16th i will come back with a plan and if i can do it i'll tell you i can if i can't hey how's that and whatever it is fair enough well 159 is maybe this is my fault i really avoided putting some of those things things cost a lot of money um at the same time station new jersey it's amazing to me as i sit here how many of you were students while i worked here and how many of you who i've had your students that being said i wanted to take this opportunity as i enter this
017new phase of my life called retirement to thank each of you for the opportunity to have worked for the bamboo school district for 27 years i am fourth generation downwork my children fifth generation they went through school here my mother graduated from here and so my heart and my passion for bamboo runs very deep as a matter of fact my youngest son was a bandwidth police officer dan we have worked together for 17 years and while we have agreed to disagree at times we have always come out respecting each other's opinions most of the time mr smith who has a heart bigger than anyone can know you have been a pleasure to work with and i wish you nothing but the best in the future to all of the staff in the district at a
018time when education is so unsettling and there are so many unknowns keep doing what you're doing and know that we appreciate it i am going to miss all of my personal interactions with many of you and hope that in the future in the not too distant future i will be able to visit the school and attend events but in the meantime i wish all of you to be safe be well and remember in the words of nelson mandela education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world and once again i want to thank you um in a long time since i've been to a board meeting i'm not going to be coming to me anytime soon and i try i do not envy you guys and what you have to
