Yes. Thank you again. I recommend the board approve the recommend job description English language learner family support item job description English language learner supportin motion to approve. Any discussion on item move on to agenda item C. contract services. Have a motion to approve. Any discussion? A couple of questions. So I think you already know my question which is great. What part of this is required by law? Two pieces. First piece is talked about that students requires us to provide social robust system that houses for
008those students not just for but also looking at return success about 4,000 students we are still at 100% next year also it's just efficiency When we go to the doctor, go to the hospital. Another question. How long? I think as long So after they graduate or or move or move then it's gone but we but it's gone from us right Kyle do you want to comment on that there are federal protections for student data that have to comply with any of the program you have anything on that I don't want to which stands for there are federal I have a few questions. So working in the district, we have maps to give us also to document um which I used extensively as a teacher. I can discuss problems fast. and I have to say that
009you've done an excellent job. It seems to me that takes all of this data database so that it is easier I think very less time as a teacher I don't know how much teachers use panorama district and this is going to be a platform especially with student emotional learning out of that and documents their life skills. My concern is that you have all of this information. So my concern is also if you have a student and see where they all are as a teacher to these platforms and not have it so easy with me and then ask more questions like why is this happening so I think it is extremely that we stay on top of what our students also become. that is kind of in my mind. I wonder if you could respond to
010we have these platforms and they're collecting the data and the data is actually that the data itself. You know, I would also say that excuse me that there are some things that are in addition to the fact that you can build right So there are a lot ofenefit looking at a numbers analysis everything that's a good analysis that's So few years ago when we first introduced this was first on the agenda I question because like said But as a person, I understand how multiple data systems help. light on another student where those two people are totally different looking at might not score. So what does Make sure they're not, you know, having stritting One of the things you said is a strange place. Like you never want to struggle with that portion. But I've learned
011that our staff. I have another question. Is there have we looked at other companies that would have this? To be honest, this year we did not because we're in the third year probably. Are there other companies that offer that offer this kind of platform? So, I asked a similar question. I'm not students also. All right. Any further discussion? All in favor say I. Any opposed? Motion passes. information. Does anyone have anything to share? graduation wonderfully everybody invited us and included us organizations all I will I just say a couple things. One is not much report on that. I also graduations were fantastic. How many students have such accomodation achievements and that I will say we had more students than ever graduate from the alternative pathways program this year. And if you have not had a
012chance to attend the Excellent. It wasn't a guarantee. So great. And then the last thing I'll say is there was a traumatic event that happened in my community. I'll say what I said last import. on your neighbor. Say hi to relationships. With that, we move on to there's nothing else. On to item 10, which is closed executive session. RS61.8 meeting specified by law to be conducted in private which is pursuant to KS.
