011Kates join us at the elementary thank you Miss cage would you like to say something about yourself well I've been teaching a long time he said he's right um I've been I've had a lot of reading training I've been trained in letters I've been trained in Reading recovery I was the uh reading interventionist at faral for a long time and I've taught kindergarten in first grade for many years and reading is what I really that's my passion that's what I enjoy doing I like help taking the kids and just moving them as much as I can forward so I look forward to being here excited welcome thank Youk you and she's also helping us at the middle school for what one two periods I have three classes of three classes three classes yes sixth and
012seventh grade yes okay awesome thank you all right Middle School okay middle school high school kind of secondary and then I'm sure there might be some CTE and some Athletics to come with this um enrollment remains unchanged for November we have a couple of our migrant families who are preparing to go back for their for they'll be gone for part of the second semester I think uh some of them left Friday and then some more are leaving this week um attendance is we're still working on our attendance tracking it's we're seen a lot of improvement we we track daily weekly monthly attendance rates uh we're seeing a 91 % average for December but I anticipate after today and we had 16 middle schoolers out we're going to take a hit this week just because there's
013a lot of uh cold flu and other things going on um the average daily attendance for November was 93.9% which was pretty good um and we're we're still we're staying above 90 all the for for most days like I said last week kind of um and today I didn't see look at the numbers for today because it was going to be bad um but it's just a few more days and hopefully we get everybody healed up and back after Christmas break um we have had a pretty good run with our attendance our new attendance policy that we adopted um we had to have a few um meetings for people who did go beyond their 10 days and had some some tough conversations about loss of credit and that kind of thing and of going to
014change the way we do we code some stuff when we are taking attendance and monitoring that just to help our SEC secretaries and help us understand where absences are uh we added a new code called V for verified meaning we've spoken to a parent about where that child is that day um and have a little more idea about some stuff we're going to continue on um requiring doctor's notes for those kind of verified absences and that kind of and for doctor's note absences so it can be coded in there correctly um and we' we've learned you know where we have some different things we can do a little bit better with that but really encouraged um by the number of kids who qualified for our reward which brings me to our next subject final exams
015uh today in today and tomorrow will be review days uh Wednesday and Thursday are test days we have a lot of kids who are who ended up eligible for either the 100 or the 90 for their final based on their attendance and lists were given to teachers today so they can kind of start communicating with kids what to expect as far as you don't to take the final because you have the 100 you don't to take the final because you have the 90 or you're taking the final and see how you do um but we're doing that there we did get a couple of people email hey this kid or that kind of thing we wanted to wait we wanted to get it out sooner rather than later so in case there was somebody that
016was like missing or didn't unsure we can have some time and not be the last minute um to find that information on Friday the middle school student council hosted a very successful dance I think we had about 45 middle schoolers Come dance for two hours in the Commons area and they danced almost every single song Mr Parker played um and sang a lot of songs and it was a good time with 45 middle schoolers um but they had a great time they came up and told Mr Parker thank you for a great evening before they left and it was they drank 10 gallons of lemonade and ate six bags of chips and had a great time and I give lots of credit to Mr Hill and Miss rign for putting that event together because the
017kids had a big time uh Frid this Friday we're going to end semester finals week with a squad day sounds like it's going to be lots of fun coach Rodriguez has lots of good things planned I've got to get the stuff for all of our reindeer games that we're going to play that day um last week I was able to attend the AI Summit in Albuquerque hosted by region 9 it was very very informative two-day conference about AI in schools from a teacher perspective and a student perspective uh ped was kind of spearheading all that because they are starting to craft what the state AI policies are going to be for lots of different things in education um and they're bringing people together for that we are as a staff going to adopt some guidelines
018for our classroom expectations for students because AI is not going to go away anytime soon and we're going to have to teach kids to use it ethically and responsibly um so they can do it I mean it's going to be there and the big takeaway that I had from that conference is kids with or people with AI are going to replace those without ai ai is not going to replace people so that was the big takeaway that we had um and so we're going to work on some of that when we come back uh we have some plan things planned we'll have staff PD on January 6th and we have some things that we want to you know refine our caption kids Hearts protocols that we're doing and make sure everybody's you know moving in
019the right direction of that we have some grading and some AI things that we want teachers to implement coming in the new semester um and then talk about things that we're doing well things that we want to do better things um that we can improve on for the new semester and then on January 7th when we welcome kids back to campus we're going to kind of spend the day in a workshop type setting and spend some time with kids spend some time with the kids to talk about our attendance and how they can you know maybe if they didn't end up where they wanted to this semester with their attendance what they can do differently uh Miss Dunn is going to spend some time going through next step plans and those kind and helping the
020kids track their progress towards graduation uh we're going to do review some of our capturing kids Hearts protocols and then re and introduce how we're going to handle AI in the classroom um when the kids come back so that's kind of what's going on there may be some other things but it's been a pretty busy um last few weeks and this week is no exception so I'll to defer to coach and Mr uh Parker if they have anything to share or if you have any questions for me happy to answer them any questions oh uh athletic wise basketball's in full swing um middle schools have has already had a few games here at home uh attendance has been good games have been very good very competitive um High School will get started this week with
021home games we have dexra tomorrow come out support us we're white um and then Friday we'll finish off with h Grady um we the both teams have competed at tournaments over the past two weekends boys and girls varsity girls getting six at both tournaments boys got fourth in the Millrose and third in the um Ela tournament um still trying to find our footing both both sides alumni game was successful had a lot of alumni come out and um it largest turnout for the girl side the first time the alumni for the girls lost um the boys also won um had a good turnout there a lot of fun um going on to next semester just more basketball um we'll start to get a idea of what the track schedules going look like right now our
022track meet will be first second week in April I can't think off the top of my head um but we're planning on doing the junior high one early in the week on a Monday or Tuesday and then the high school one either on a Thursday or Friday just kind of depending on where the rest of the schedule Falls and probably missing something but that's young oh Al tournament yes we had uh Javon agular made the AL tournament team in Melrose and his brother made the alternate team in Alida so congratulations to those two as well and I think that's it I stand for questions questions appreciate it all right I don't have too much um both ctsos BPA and FFA have um been in our competitive season BPA has qualified all but I think one
023team or one group of students for State contest later this spring FFA we we've been competing we finished up last Friday with Junior High contest um qualifying total of four students to qualify and compete at the state conference in February for nmlc um which was great there we have a sixth grader who qualified in Creed um one of the first sixth graders to qualify for State contest um cash Foster so pretty excited about that trip moss and Daniel Romero both qualified at Illustrated talk and then Cora Willer and eighth grader qualified for prepared speech and so these four students will be competing at the con state junior high conference in February um looking forward to that we'll start practice again for them in January and getting them ready um the rest high school will finish
024ld's public speaking contest in January um which hegerman will be hosting on campus at enmu R in Roswell um and then we'll get ready for judging season other than that that's kind of all we have for our programs going on in CT right now kind of just surviving can you talk about the truck I know you weren't here but yes BR Pro be proud um so while I was away at San Antonio for the national act Teachers Conference um we were able to host the BR Pro B proud it's a national initiative um it's in Six States New Mexico being one of them it's probably taken me a year and a half to get this truck to come to camp campus um we shared it with Lake Arthur that day so we hegerman students went
025through on Tuesday morning we did or senior class junior class and sophomore class um they asked not to send the Freshman Class just because they're not mature enough to understand and be capable of understanding these things that's going in the truck and I agreed with them they were bringing this truck they were for free not going to fight against them and then Lake Arthur came that afternoon but this truck provides a virtual reality um simulator simulators they have a commercial driving um program in there a tractor driving program a lineman program welding program um crane a crane operator and I know they added another one I excavator excavator yes um program and so the students actually got to go through they registered got to explore some Hands-On career exploration um through the national BR Pro
026B proud initiative and then they all students who registered on time and got to go through this program got entered into to a PS5 giveaway and I think they'll announce that at the end of the school year um and every school kind of gets their own little giveaway program through this initiative it's a really cool trailer I've got to do it at the N or state leadership conference last year um before they updated it and brought more equipment onto it um they traveled to us and then went to Roswell a Roswell school and then Aria that day or that week so it was a really good opportunity for our students I heard all positive remarks I had five senior boys help with it who were serving on the Esports team and so they had a
027lot of fun and worked really hard for that stand for questions now thank you any questions thank you Mr Sanchez do you think you can give them an overview of Esports I sure can thank you good evening members of the board um Esports it's very simply um just you know video games at school um it allows for the students to interact with each other but also um you know give them a chance to compete against other people in the state doing something they love um so in this case for Esports in the last few weeks um we've had students compete in different um games such as Mario Kart Smash Bros uh Madden 2K um and a few others that we have um students have been excited to compete for example I know um we finished
028this last season and Chason did Place fourth in um the region mountain region including states such as ourselves Arizona Wyoming kind of this whole little area um of the United States and he did Place top four against schools that are ranking 4 a 5A in the normal nmaa season um our other teams such as Rocket league and um the other team was Smash Bros they also made it to playoffs um they weren't as um lucky but they are building up their skills for the competitive season starting in January um this program as mentioned gives them an opportunity to kind of team up with other people um and really just build their communication skills and teamwork skills um many many good benefits from the program and students have been excited to be a part of it
029thank you Mr Sanchez thank you Miss Kates and Mr lard I mean you're welcome to stay but if you need to if you have to go you're okay thank you appreciate it thank you appreciate it um next item is the consent motion um the minutes from November 18th bill for the month of November there not any questions motion to approve say I first new item uh budget adjustments if there's not any other questions from Miss jene or you have any other comment just need a motion to approve I'll make a motion Trevor second all in favor say I um next item is Mr Williams and some elementary teachers to attend higher liability School Summit in San Antonio Texas Mr Williams yes ma'am I um I sent you an email with some information on the high
030uh High Rel ability schools um this is hosted by Marzano resources Marzano is a leading uh one of the leading educational resources for teachers and administrators they have a um their High reliability schools framework uh serves as a long-term just planning guide for schools and districts um and they'll they'll this framework looks at safe and supportive collaborative culture effective teaching in every classroom uh guaranteed and viable curriculum standards reference reporting and Competency Based education um the conference is in San Antonio uh January 29th through the 31st um Miss copelan Miss Mayan and Miss uh Miss Tory Rodriguez has all uh committed to to go um I think this will be a great opportunity for uh myself and three leaders on our campus to sharpen our skills and how we can make our campus uh more
031effective and better from an educational standpoint uh for our students and so I would like to ask for approval from the board for us to be able to attend uh the conference any questions about that does the school pick up any expenses on this or is this so so basically uh we do have a literacy Grant we have funds through the literacy Grant and then we also received additional Title One money okay so we will be able to cover those expenses now they are driving so they will not be flying and and that will save us uh sure okay and then the teachers will be sharing how many three teachers and we require subs or anything for that we will require Subs yes all right no other questions see a motion to approve I'll make
032motion I'll second all favor to say I carries next item C is uh publishing of the hman school accountability report and record so in your folders you do have have a um kind like letter type it's U this is for the New Mexico Vista so you know basically the state law requires all the school districts and the charter schools to publish their accountability reports uh no later than November the 15th however uh we call the superintendents we just barely received the information Friday so um so apparently it has to be done by November the 15th of each year so what we need to do is we need to make sure we have a board approval so that we can post this is the content that will be posted and basically what it says you know
033hegerman Municipal School District report card 2324 the school district report card is available and then you know there's a link I don't know if that if this link right here I mean they can type it in but then you know it's also um I don't know if once in the newspaper I don't think they'll be able to to link it you know just click on it and go into it but uh they can just type it in so the overview you know the grade served is grades third through 12th grade and then it has the designations for each school hegerman elementary received a school score of 45.1 and their designation is traditional the Middle School received a score of 62.0 and the designation is SP Spotlight and then um the high school received a school
034score of 59.3 and the designation is traditional as a matter of fact I will let Cody tell you a little bit about the good news that we received today so if you want to do that on um Thursday afternoon Sandy gladen with priority priority schools Bureau is going to come to present us with a banner to recognize our movement from a CSI school to a TR IAL school at the high school because we have made that move and it's a pretty big accomplishment so they're going to bring us a banner to display for that accomplishment on Thursday I think she said about 13045 yes and I mean I think that is a huge accomplishment and uh so they will be here now if you look at the high school the high school received a 59.3
035the middle school they are considered Spotlight with to 62 so we only needed a few more points and we would have been spotlighted I'm like wow that is just amazing but getting out of that designation which you know the designation of CSI now it's all about sustainability I am very confident that we will be able to sustain because of the initiatives that we currently have and you know these guys here are just doing a fabulous job um so again you know here is also we have the district proficiencies the elementary school math 26% reading 20 29 science 20% the Middle School uh math 25% the reading 60% and then the science was 38 for the high school um the math look at that that is you know kind of low but it was expected so
036we definitely need to try and and really as a Statewide math scores were very very low so we definitely now we have a reading cach we'll probably also have to pursue try to get a a new numeracy coach uh reading the high school had a 32% science 36% and then our district graduation rates four year that was 90% five year 90% And then our six year 76.7% so this will be posted but I do need Ford approval in order to be able to post this and I will send this to the Roswell Daily Record what was the reasoning why it has to be posted so so basically it's a state law that you know it requires for us to inform our families so it will also be posted in the the newsletter I will probably
037also post it on my Weekly Newsletter and have it there for a while so just so that families can be uh informed I guess you could say a pet requirement okay all right any other questions how much is that gonna like for three weeks or and we're probably GNA have to do it for maybe I'm thinking maybe like on a Wednesday and then possibly on uh Sunday paper for maybe two or three weeks so it's probably going to cost us it's kind of expensive room for a Sunday paper WR it is it is and and a lot of the schools you know they talked about paying quite a bit of money I think Lovington they paid like $3,700 but that's a lot for us so I'm going to try to minimize it to you know
038not pay so much it be that no probably not it'll probably be I would say anywhere I would say less than $500 but I'm not sure but it will cost us that be Sunday be Monday or Friday you know you know what in reality we can I mean well Monday I don't see they don't publish on Monday so they only publish on Sundays and they do Wednesday and Friday and we can just do it a couple of weeks I mean they really didn't give us just as long as we can provide that you know we met the requirement daily well it could be you know it could be the artisia it could be is your newsletter sufficient like it doesn't have to be no it has to be a Syndicate widely circulated it has to
039be circul the new well my news people are reading your newsletter than are reading the newspaper I'm sure hey today I I got the it's 5,000 views hey just go drop it off at the cafe and you've already reached everybody who reads the newspaper anyway NAA Nappa Cafe and Rosies and and post the post make make a poster over here in the thing but I think as long as we just do it and we comply we're in compliance non compliance been kicking a lot of stuff back these days I'll make the motion found okay so uh you have the letter that I submitted to the py foundation as well as the grant that we received so since the the high school is considered a you know CSI getting out of that designation thank God but
040um basically one of the initiatives that we um started this year is that all of the new teachers they do have a it's a new teachers and then also the administrators they have a side by side coach and that coach comes once a month um Aon you want to speak about you know your experience with your coach yeah I've uh had a great mentor Mr mallister um he's come in two or three times already um and just been a great resource you know he's been in in administration for 20 years something like that um maybe more and any anytime you know it's allowed me to get a like a different perspective you know I have a lot of Administrators in my family um but just to kind of ask him some some questions and get
041his perspective on it um it's been great to to get that information and to bounce ideas off of him and to get that feedback um to to grow you know into that role and then also for my classes and stuff too it's been really really beneficial and he's been there if I have questions I can reach out to them no problem it's been it's been awesome Cody I have one as well different one than coach um she's done a great job and again like you said someone new to bounce ideas off of someone to talk to about things that are that were you know that maybe we don't want to talk with our other colleagues with yet um the all of our teachers that have them um seem to be growing a lot in their
042professional um in their professional realm we have a lot of first year new teachers and they've really seen seem to get a lot of support out of it and again have it gives them someone to talk to in a in a mentorship kind of role that's not somebody who's also their evaluator or their building administrator and it kind of gives them a chance to get some feedback on some things that before they have before I go into do an observation or something like that and it's been really good to see some of our teachers um grow that way um and have some support and May and maybe and they're these the side by sides are able to spend a whole day in the classroom whereas a coach and I can maybe go in an hour
043or 15 minutes or 20 minutes here or there where they spend a whole day in there and get to see all the things that happen in their classroom management and their organization and their you know their development of lesson plans and their delivery of lesson plans I know um here in the Middle School we've seen a lot of a lot of growth for our teachers and I think the same is true for the ones in the high school that have the coaches we do have a few new coaches coming on now after um after Christmas with some teachers who haven't had one yet and so and I think they're they're excited a couple of our teachers were uncertain at first they thought they had done something to deserve why why am I getting a coach
044what's wrong what did I do wrong and it's not that you did anything wrong we have an opportunity to help you grow um it's a good thing and so it took a little bit of conversation to convince everybody that this was a good thing but I think everybody's really enjoying the opportunity to have someone else help them with their craft as a teacher so so for the secondary of course we receive CSI uh funds and we've been able to pay for this I mean this is not it's a very expensive program very very expensive and uh anyways so for the high school we we've been able to use the CSI funds however for the elementary you know we just believe at the secondary we believe that it's a very good program and we know that
045it's going to be beneficial for the elementary as well everything starts at the elementary so uh with that in mind I went ahead and applied through the py foundation and you know I apply for funding so that we can and also implement this program at the elementary level Mr Williams will be getting a mentor and as well as uh five teachers Mr Williams yes ma'am yes I believe we have H five of the teachers and uh the plan is for them to start in January so um the py foundation they actually approved my application and they awarded us $440,000 to be able to to implement this at the Elementary level so I do you know I need a board approval so that we can asset the um the Grant and again you know this grant
046it it will cover right now I believe it's like $39,000 just a little bit under $40,000 to be able to have uh the elementary teachers be part of this any questions good deal since it's already been approved accept it but I still need to get it approved by you guys IV say [Music] I next item only vacation okay so um during the and you also have letter here so during the October board meeting you know we discussed and actually this was executive session you know the request to compensate Miss Jolene Montana and you know she doesn't want me to do this but you know really it's she wasn't able to take 11 of her vacation days so you know and this was due to uh leadership uh transitions so basically you know she wasn't able
047to take that time off and and so I would like to con you know for for the board to consider this request as a one-time exception so following our discussion you know I consulted with the the auditor Miss Pam rise regarding the legalities of uh compensating anyone for vacation time so miss rise recommended that the board memb sign the formal request for payment the proposed payment for Montana would be her daily rate and and that would be for 11 days days and there is the amount um so I'm just uh you know requesting that we compensate her it really wasn't her fault that she wasn't able to take her vacation time and um you know hopefully well know this will be again this is a one time and we'll make sure that she takes her
048vacation this year nobody quits in June any questions [Music] yes and I think Mr Moss uh you know president Moss you have the the original one that way we can have signatures and then we can save this and hey next item is AI presentation I don't have a formal presentation I um like I said previously mentioned in my comments that we have a um that we went I went to the conference AI is becoming a conversation that we have a lot um it was kind of I guess ironic while I was there I had a teacher email me what does our school policy say about AI if we look at our student handbook we don't say a lot about AI at our student handbook because it's so new um we were encouraged School leadership was
049encouraged at that meeting to have start having serious conversations about what we want our AI policies to be like and look like um and how do we teach kids to use this well had a conversation with with Coach A-Rod with Mr Parker who's kind of our resident AI guy he knows a lot he's re gone to a lot of training and had a lot of stuff through his micr credentials and things like that that he's working on um and so we've talked about what we kind of want to do for our AI policy um we something that I liked when I was at the um conference was a then and New Mexico doesn't have anything official yet the PED is working on what the official word on a lot of this is going to be
050but schools are encouraged to start adopting stuff some of districts are um for example one of the workshops that went to was done by Gadson schools they have a very they've adopted an AI I think Magic School AI is their official AI for their District um different schools are allowing different things other schools I think I have a friend who teaches at morard Edgewood they don't allow any AI from anybody teachers staff nobody can use AI at their school it's all blocked or whatever um and so I think we're in a place that we need we can decide what we want it to do what we talked about was that we would I think in in January we're going to come back and give the kids something and I apologize for not having a copy
051for but it's a scale of zero to four um a zero would be that there that this is an assignment that you can use absolutely no AI on this is something that's needs to be 100% your own work and it what we kind of want to teach the kids is to use this thing this chart and it would say no zero would be a zero this was colorcoded red no AI use 100% their own effort and then it kind of as a number increases the more AI you can use and it kind of gives them a description of what it would look like and then what disclosure requirements do you make in your assignment kind of in the olden days your work cited your bibliography what it needs to look like for this and so
052it would go from no AI to AI assistance kind of to get your ideas or like maybe your brainstorming done um AI assisted editing maybe you upload your paper and get it to edit help AI to get you to edit it to make it more clear or specific tasks if you need to generate an image or something like that because AI if you haven't played with it you can generate images I I I told it make an a teacher working with a student showing pigs unfortunately I had the pigs with harnesses which I'm not really sure what AI know about Pig showing a whole lot but you I mean you can tell it very specific things and it'll make I mean give it enough detail and it'll make the picture did not look so much
053like Parker but the boy looked a lot like Grady it was really weird um that we that from the different images um that you can make of things uh and so I think we want to teach kids to be responsible users be able to go into the workplace go into college whatever being able to utilize this tool in a way that's not going to get them you know in trouble with plagiarism we're going to ask teachers to add this to their assignments going forward so we don't have so there's not a question um but I think when we revise our student handbook next year we're definitely going to have to be very specific and we may have some guidance from the state by that time of what AI is going to look like and there's
054a ton of AI different resources um chat GPT is one of them and that's kind of the most popular and the most familiar with people but like and then it talked there was things I didn't know that there was such thing as an AI hallucination where AI makes up stuff that and it's it's incorrect information but it sounds like it's good information and so there was a lot of things that went down I if there's another conference like this I would encourage I would hope more people would be able to go unfortunately the timing was really bad for this last one because it was during basketball season Parker was gone to uh his teacher turn the key um but there was people from all different facets of school there was people from business offices because
055some districts are using AI to analyze a lot of their data to find you know errors in things or like over spending and project Trends and all kinds of stuff and so I think it's going to be a useful tool we just have to learn how to use it well and use it correctly and in a way that is ethical and um educational so um sure this will not be the last we hear about AI um I am by far not an expert in it but it amazes me the things you can do with it you know and the bottom line is that AI it's not going away so I think we just need to learn how to use it and maybe the teachers need to if a kid writes a paper five-page essay using
056Ai and the teacher knows that that's happening so maybe it okay thank you for your paper now I want you to do a presentation right well there was there was a lot of talk and there's some stuff and then I see about going we got a whole Google Drive full of resources and some of it was how to AI proof your assignments how to um use AI in a way there was a lady there was an English teacher she said I I will write the essay using Ai and tell the kids make better or here's the essay here's the essay you wrote using AI now you have to make it outline your own outline for it or different things and so there was a lot of talk there's a lot of PD available I think
057and I think that's somewhere where we're probably going to have to look to to provide our teachers because there's a lot of unfamiliar territory for a lot of our teachers with AI and a lot of people want to be scared of it and I don't necessarily think it has to be something to be scared of but we have to be smart about it smart it's a game changer there's a lot of Uncharted water um I've had the privilege of training a bunch of new act teachers on how to use it and efficiently use it I'm no pro at it but like I was telling Miss Rees earlier today about one I've been using in my classroom I can take a Google doc with all my information I want to cover hit create a presentation and
058it's going to put it all in the PowerPoint for me um I put my study guides in it it made my quizzes my finals for me it's a Time efficiency tool if you use it right when you don't use it right you're going to confuse the heck out of students even more um and so there's a lot of training a lot of experience but it's something we have to learn and grow with because it's not going anywhere but forther future when I've talked at some of the conferences and then at talking to some of the Schoolboard members like don't it's pretty open right now um there's been it's kind of the Wild West there's been rumors or talks about you know a 20 80 for the kids and 80 20 for the teachers or 10
05990 and it's just a lot of speculation right now it's all over the place and then you know of course you know pet they they are wanting to do a policy about this and then but right now we already have the policy we don't need to add another policy because we do have plagiarism we have um you know cheating and so as long as what we need to do is we need just need to make sure that we post that and when the teachers you know have them do their their syi and all they have to do is just have the uh Ai and plagerism right and I think that's why we want to move towards having something like this to so because some assignments it may be okay we don't care if they use
060AI to get it done it's no different than them using their book to look up the answers on a worksheet but if it's you know more in-depth or more evaluative assignment maybe that's one where they're going to have to you know site where they got the stuff and if they got it from AI you site that you got it from AI that kind and teaching the kids how to use it in a way but I think we're going to have to just have conversations with kids because I don't think they understand what they're doing how it would be considered academic dishonesty or that could it be a question of their integrity I just think that they need to embrace it and be able to use it wisely I agree there's already quite few kids using
061it oh yeah oh yeah well I me well mean that was and that's where the question from our our own staff members came from is like how much is too much what do we allow what did you tell and that was my question okay well what directions did you give them did you tell them that they couldn't use it because that's going to be the the first thing that a kid tells me when I ask the kid why' you use it they didn't tell me that I couldn't use it it's pretty pretty quick well and if you I mean if you've ever talked to some of the kids and like or read any of their writing I you can usually tell and then they start using words like unwavering yes yeah therefore yeah like I
062any adjective yeah any adjective when they start adding adjectives into their paper you know they used AI right cot's great at it he's good got a had a zero and had to redo the paper because it was AI written right well that's and that's probably some of the things but I mean if that's the argument that we're gonna have with kids they didn't tell me how I put it you say but you know you could also say you know like when you're using Chad GPT you can say okay I need you to give me an essay on whatever it is but written from the perspective of a fifth grade student right yeah oh yeah you can give it the more an ell student and there's there's all the prompts and that was one of the
063things the engineer the chat the way you engineer it the way the prompt the prompts you give it the things like that you can really um and the more like if you don't like something well because and I've done this with some stuff that I've had to write you know clarify this point or you know expand on this part and it'll give it to you again the same version you can wear out the free chat GPT I have done that on more than one occasion and made it mad and it cuts you off for 12 hours you overuse it yes it does well I mean even like in our jobs now I we had guys using AI to write the resume when you sit down face to face like this doesn't mat you yeah use
064AI do their interviews now webs so they'll be able to when you're asking questions it's talking to Ai and back I so I didn't realize I signed up for this the other day and I forgot I had a meeting and I got a notification it's an AI bot and it actually hopped on the meeting for me took notes from me and sent me a transcript of everything that happened okay that's your assignment for next month I want you to show Jolene how to do yes um yes and I can't be mad because the lady from P I'm a ped liaison supposedly and she used it and sent it to us that way and that's how I got signed up on it but it was nice like I didn't even I forgot I had this meeting
065and I got the whole transcript it clocked me in that I was in this meeting I was like it just said Allan's robot and I was like cool okay Alan so that's your I'll come show you m j you need a teach her how to do it can it do school board meetings that's what I was thinking well it would probably transcribe need that AI secretary we got you Chris dude way better I promise you no we definitely I like it sent me email yeah otter AI just personal otter yeah it's pretty nice otter and frisk they've saved my life this week get the Tesla robot thing that and then put some AI on that yeah yeah that's pretty impressive as as we move forward and once we get our what we're going to go
066with I'll bring you guys a copy so you you can see kind of where we're at there's plenty of questions about I don't I don't think I'm the one to answer very I can I can send you some stuff that from the meeting though you can ask AI yeah I'll ask a ask the [Music] otter superintend sorry okay I am my is short so um I know it's like we just barely came back from the nmsba um you know convention so but I have information for the other one so the nmsba boards Association will conduct the next one The Institute and that's scheduled for February the 13th through the 15th and uh so just for those of you if you would like to attend I do I'd like to you know have you that information
