006also discussed the implementation of the inservice academy leaders fact faes will be given the opportunity to plan organize and facilitate workshops with one another and share instructional best practices that will allow participants to obtain ctle hour ctle is continuing teacher and leader education credits and the application and interest forms went out and we've had several teachers already on the first day uh submit uh an interest form and then once they submit the interest form I send them a proposal form where they map out what areas they would like to teach to others so I'm excited for that because we're trying to implement that this school year um we also discussed ideas for uh our summer curriculum writing uh the next update is uh academic intervention services Mr Flanigan the guidance department and I have been
007collaborating to provide additional resources to support the teachers and the students enrolled in the AIS classes we currently have the three subjects in the AIS classes in middle school and high school we have math and Ela and we also have high school science um a student survey was disseminated and we already have 50 students uh complete the the survey that was provided we were hoping that students provide honest and thoughtful feedback about their efforts their growth and overall experience in their AIS classes I just want to say that the goal of the academic interven ion Services is to Prov to provide students with additional support so that they can be successful in their core content areas and lastly I would like to uh share news about the uh family instructional Academy that took place last
008night we had a snow date uh so it got moved to yesterday we had 38 families students and parents attend uh the art room yesterday for the winter wonderland painting together experience uh Miss Lam conducted the art lessons with M Magic clay to help facilitate the alternate student painters so that they can have and take turns to paint with their parents because it was one on one you choose between your children so we came up with that so that we can maximize the space and Miss Kina did a phenomenal job in um instructing us on how to paint she pre recorded the stepbystep instructions and then we played them for all of the novice painters who at the end created these masterpieces um at the end of the session um and she was encouraging along
009the way it was a it a great Vibe and I personally want to apologize to families who were unable to attend due to the limited seating uh we're trying to conduct another session in the spring so stay tuned and will be parents who didn't not attend the first time and I want to show you so miss kiner's no piece this is a of a student and they were all amazing so if you look at uh Facebook you get to see the images and the pictures of everyone and it was a pretty awesome uh experience and not only the PS were able I was able to uh uh use the cost description catalog to uh introduce the parents to all of the art courses that are offered um and it's building on skills from the elementary
010school secondary middle school and then to high school so it was great and we are going to get physical on March 20th uh the physical education department will be collaborating to design activities for all families and students and highlight the importance of physical UC in schools uh and on March 7th Mr justat is going to uh organize uh the collaboration between between the teachers and we encourage families to sign up for the work workshop via parent Square once it is posted next week and you won't be closed out of this event since we have more space at the Academy gymnasium so go handos any questions that you may have for me um I don't have a question but I was one of your painters last night and I do have to say it was a
011great great experience but I wanted to highlight something and you touched upon it but this was important um I know this year we've been working on creating those course descriptions and posting them and you spent that time before we started the event going through that and I thought that was so good um you also referenced that it would be online but you went to the course descriptions the teachers were there they were able to explain what each of them in the progression from like Middle School to the high school um and and again I appreciate that because it just doesn't live on the website so and you know then the parents were able to now let's get interactive with what is already happening at at the building level so kudos to the team I know
012I was like oh my God it was really fun um and it was also great for the families it was just it was a really really nice event so kudos to the team again thank you I saw the pictures online and it looked amazing so I can't wait to try to get into the next one I say she's going to have to do another one she was so happy yeah she was she was like in tear she was like I'm so proud and she was nervous but then she was so happy and she couldn't stop smiling the whole time Joy was excited I just wanted to congratulate you on the success of the program too because there was a solid year of offering the family instructional Academy with such low attendance and rather than just
013kind of give up and you know say we're not going to offer this anymore you guys took in a lot of feedback and there was a lot of tweaks made and now you know we can't even accommodate everybody so I think that's wonderful and I love that there was a lot of persist with keeping it going so thank you um I wanted to highlight also how great I think it is that we're doing the surveys and pushing them out specifically for AIS um the only question that I had was um I know that it was mentioned that we're extending it beyond the students to also incorporate the feedback of teachers so I was wondering if that also includes the support staff that are in the classroom and also the ICT teachers or um main at
014the Academy the students who are currently attending the AIS classes the support staff is not in the class so we were trying to identify uh we're trying to see and look at the data to make sure that the supports that the students are receiving in the AIS classes correlate with the content classes that they're taking so if a student in in math is that student still failing the math class so then we need to identify sometimes is also the students intrinsic motivation is lacking and that was one of the questions and a lot of the students are saying I'm not working as hard as I should and then we need to come up with strategies to support the teachers in providing them with the right resources to provide them supports for English and math per
015se so we have the teacher survey so we can find out what they notice in their classes um whether not the current uh resources are for what they're currently doing right now the students get a pass or fail grade so it's getting a grade A different motivator so we're trying to identify the what so that we can make improvements for next year so that it's more supportive of Student Success great thank you so important you know getting as much parents interaction um is is so important it's important for to get the feedback so if you're listening out there and there's a topic that you would like for us to teach because if we teach if we look at it as a school right we have to make it engaging for families to want to come
016so any ideas so I was thinking of focusing on every apartment um that doesn't get highlighted um so that's why we chose fette for next month so hopefully we can continue to get the other departments and get science uh to uh do something fun as well maybe we should have a parent to a science lab that would be kind of fun too so we're working on it thank you so thank you you said good evening everyone lots of good news for the report for this week I have some updates uh we had mentioned a few things that were happening in my board report that have happened since I submitted the board report so and I want to make these announcements anyway uh JoJo OC quanan is our section n champion in the 215 pound weight
017class for our boys varsity wrestling team he will be leaving tomorrow to go to his hopefully three-day event up at the MVP arena in Albany to wrestle for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association state championship so we wish him the best of luck boys varsity basketball tomorrow night they will be having their annual team get together as they await their seed for the section n playoffs that they qualified for uh just to put on everyone's radar there is a possibility that that game will be played at the Academy on Saturday night around 5 or six o'clock we won't know that until tomorrow night but as soon as I know we will post that on the section9 website it'll be posted social media all of our usual spots again that we'll find that
018out tomorrow night uh if they do win on Saturday Saturday that tournament will extend into next week which is why some of my other dates have changed which I'll get to in a minute uh that brings me to track uh Zoe Arnette at the at the state um section9 Championship meet medaled in the 1500 meter and the 1,000 meter Zoe along with zo Henny cmba chufa Daniel Gonzalez will race at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association State qualifier at the armory on Saturday and that d drives us right into spring Sports so as much as our we're enjoying our winter season and we're having all these successful student athletes we start have have to start planning for our spring so the spring season starts March 17th for varsity and JV and March
01924th is for our modified Sports family ID is currently open it opened last week earlier this week actually that has been posted to our website it's on all of our social media accounts and a parent Square was sent out to all community members in grades 7 through 12 so they aware of where they can find all of our links to register for all of our spring Sports and if you're looking to sign up for our spring Sports just as a reminder we offer modified JV and varsity baseball modified JV and Varsity Softball uh varsity girls and boys track and field and girls modified in varsity lacrosse couple things to remind everyone that on March 10th the Academy Gym will hopefully be packed as the Harlem Wizards will be here as part of a fundraiser for
020the district and as I was talking about before we had some teams qualify the playoffs these state championships a lot of so I'm all over the place some of a lot of people are moving around doing go attending some of these and some support functions so the parent advisory panel it's been a little bit of a moving Target because we have so much going on so we actually kind of settled on a good date and it's looking like it's going to be March 17th because that'll coincide with the start of the spring season so we can recap some of our winter and then also look forward to some of our spring and and get people talking about that but between the snow and then these championships and playoff games we had to delay by a
021week or two but we are going to hold that meeting we plan to hold another one uh towards the end of the spring season to have our three to four meetings per year which we want to that's our goal we want to keep going with that um and in closing I just wanted to wish the best of luck to our state championship competitors hopefully they will be several days of success and if the track competitors do well State qualifier we'll be talking about a uh state championship run for some of them so for all those stent athletes to go hos just good luck to all the competitors this weekend wherever they are Albany here the city and um Good Luck to their coaches too excellent and I'll be attending some of those events so you
022know basketball might interfere with some of them but we'll be up at the state championships wrestling this week again so we'll we'll keep everyone updated thank you thank you Mr good afternoon um I'm not going to talk about everything on my report but then I wrote a list of all the things I didn't put on my report so I'm going to go through here um we did purchase Magic School uh we have a training on March 7th with um we separated it out with the elementary school and the academy um that's going to focus on the actual student side of Magic School um just so teachers know that it's there and if they wanted to use it how to use it for next year um we did just replace every teacher Chromebook we got a
023Federal grant to replace that so um that those have all been handed out and are out in the Chromebooks that we took back from them are going to be used as student loaners for now [Music] um we officially thanks to Matt and Brett um have selected the door hardware for the Safety project for next year so every classroom is getting scanner um and electronic lock we selected the hardware and the software for that so those we're actually going to start implementing that software this year so that we can get it running this summer for all the doors so that's exciting Milestone um I do want to thank Miss Souza she has been absolutely killing it with the budget and she's been extremely nice to work with and just knowledgeable and it's made the budget process
024as far as my side go really really smoothly um all right all the things I didn't put in um I ready we we officially sent out the parent documents for the mid year reporting um via secure documents on parent Square yesterday for the elementary school and today for the Academy so for all the parents um you should have gotten two messages one for ELA one for math they went out in Rapid session so just it looks like a duplicate message it's not one is Ela one is math um one of the things I haven't been putting on the board report and I will be from now on is we are moving to a new student information system next year so we're moving from um um School tools to Synergy where we've been working in the
025background to get all of our data prep to move from school tool into Synergy and we are on the second round it's about to hit of data validation and so we're about to have a usable site that we can put people on as kind of a test site so they can see it and see what it's going to look like on their end uh we're going to have a training in May for teachers for um attendance and Gradebook we are going to once we go live in August we'll have an online registration available this year um that online registration will also extend to that's how we're actually going to replace family ID with their Sports um so it's a it's an extension of the online registration it'll bring all student information in so we won't
026have to put it all into family ID because is our student information system we know all of this about the students already we know what students belong to what parents um so it create a little bit more of a seamless way to sign your kids up for sports um and Mary Kate and her team have been great we are also implementing an Mt the mtss module for Synergy next year at the elementary school we're going to work through that next year build it out and then we can think about moving up to the academy the following year so those are syy updates we me and my team especially my team Quin and David spent a good portion of this week updating all of our data privacy agreements onto a new uh platform that the state
027is using the state has finally heard our pleas to we have let's say I each school is going out and signing a a data privacy agreement with ir which takes their lawyers time takes our lawyers a ton of time the state has started to sign agreements so that we can then just opt into those States agreements so they also created an online portal so that we can update all of our approved applications for our district so teachers can go on parents can go on and see those data privacy agreements see when they expire and so on the website under departments then the technology department down the right right hand side there's a link there it's updated to new system and we will be going through there's a couple that are out of comp out of
028date so we're going through this week to get all of those back up to date and see if we can opt into these states stuff so we don't have to actually do as much of that work moving forward uh State 3 through eight exams are starting in the month of March so that's coming soon we'll have an update for you we have a ton of Summer projects going on this year as far as technology goes um as we buy new Chromebooks for the kindergarten this coming year um we're going to buy Chromebook carts for K through three so that we can store them a little bit easier secure them and make sure that they last that whole six years um so that'll be a summer project Windows 10 is being deprecated it's October I believe
029so it won't get updates anymore so every computer in our disc District needs to move over to Windows 11 this year that's a big project um our door access is obviously a big one you've seen my updates as far as Wi-Fi so we're going to be finishing upgrade over the summer we're moving to a new student um we're getting rid of iOS our student filter and we're replacing it with something else so we can um have a little bit more functionality and visibility into the Chromebooks Synergy is obviously a huge one and we're also um doing replacing all of our battery backups District as far as our server rooms stuff goes this summer as well um also finally have gotten started and I'm almost done with the incident response plan um we should be done
030by March 20th and then I'm going to work with the superintendent's office and the directors to have a tabletop um we'll have a government agency come in actually a scenario walk through our inent response plan and they'll point out things that we can do better fix so that's coming up soon and um I do want to give a shout out mine and Mike's secretary Kim Fusco is leaving at the end of the week she has been a huge valuable resource to us the district and uh just want to thank her and wish her well as she goes on to a new job and um that's it just a quick question about books now you've had them for a long time they have not increased the life it's still at six years that we're getting so
031at first there were actually Four I believe okay um and Google has essentially what Google has done is they said we will support the software on this hardware for six years we'll give updates guaranteed and that's actually where we run into problem once the once they stop getting software updates um they become a security vulnerability that's actually my my hard cut off is when they become a security vulnerability on the thing frankly you've seen also in the reports that the Chromebooks break so often that they're being replaced and repaired constantly um we could probably get them to continue to run that much longer but after six years the amount of RAM and the hardware that's in there software only gets harder and harder to run so it really does become just too slow to run
032a lot of the educational apps that we're asking it to do so six years is I think pushing it to begin with but that's about it it really is a sofware update thing more than the hardware the hardware will continue to run but I can't use it because I'm I can't put on my network if it's not getting security patches makes sense thank you so much y I also Al wanted to thank you and your team for the amount of time and effort it probably takes to send out those individual reports to all of the families for the I ready data um and I'm sure it's probably also a cost-saving to the district rather than before we used to have to print and and mail all of those documents um so now to have it
033emailed is so convenient but then it also has the added benefit of being able to click on the link for additional resources which is also wonderful because before when you get the print out it's like click here and it's like well it's a mailing I can't really you know so um so I've noticed that was a benefit too that some of the other parents had had mentioned so thank you yeah it's probably a savings of $600 each mailing it's about 1,200 documents and um surprisingly parent square is a great tool for that it's it only takes about five minutes so I'll I'll take the thanks [Laughter] but well thank you thank thank you have a good nighta hello hello guys how are you sound like a phone uh thank you for the opportunity to update
034you on behalf of uh buildings and grounds this is a somewhat of a slow month we were fully focused on snow removal um so I want to thank my team uh Brett Sutton Tyler kryer Mark Reed Brian Rogers and Mike Perry um there were no less than 4 3:00 a.m. starts couple weekends thrown in um these guys work really hard to to clear these uh uh buildings of snow and get them open for um um normal safe openings so thank you to them it's a lot of work um speaking of of snow as Mike alluded to on March 17th um summer I'm sorry spring Sports start so by March 17th we're setting our goal to have the fields open that's less than three weeks from now so if you drive by and you see the
035fields they're covered in snow still um it's a bit of a challenge and it's fully weather dependent but um this time of year is uh is hectic for us and we are cramming to prepare for a two to thre day window where we will uh fall back to a skeleton crew of Maintenance and work exclusively on our fields to allow our student athletes to um to start on March 17th so looking forward to that uh our safety Capital project continues to progress it has not yet been approved by SED we did receive on Monday uh two somewhat cursor questions which were answered pretty quickly so I am confident this will be approved in the next couple weeks obviously once that happens we'll um go out to a public bid and uh and then we'll progress
036from there as far as scheduling goes and um and that sort of thing we've met with some groups to coordinate um summer camp uh Camp invention with this Capital project to ensure we can safely house those groups and continue this project with no delay and we feel confident that there will be no impact to the project um which takes uh the full full priority um I'm happy to report that the insurance claim for Maple Avenue is coming to a close um as you remember on July 3rd we had a Micro Burst which ripped the roof off of the 1965 side of the building um we've been in negotiation with nicer and it looks like we finally come to an agreement with them after almost two years of negotiations and you know proving losses and that
037sort of stuff so um there'll be more to present on that once it's fully finalized but um by all accounts that's pretty much been put to put to bed um so I'm I'm extremely excited about that being off of off of our plate um I wanted to thank Lindsay ianuzi for helping us to update all of our compliance records on uh our website from a facili perspective we are required to provide a pesticide management plan a here which is our spus management plan um and uh a lead testing and I am not uh what you would call an expert in the field of technology so Lindsay uh took the rein on that and and helped us out dramatically so thank you very much for your for your help um that is all I have to
038present for this month uh I am hopeful that the weather is going to change and we will be on the fields on March 17th so with that I will take any questions you may have um no questions thank you for your perseverance with the maple a um you know all of us have experience with insurance compan I cannot imagine you know taking something like that back and forth and documentation um you know feeling positive that will result in something positive for the district but yeah so you know you never like to publicly manage up but I I really I I feel like I have to give credit uh to to uh Miss O'Hara um this was a unique situation um the insurance company offered their initial offer was um a little bit light and um
039she had the confidence in us and the understanding to you know truck along here and I think it was absolutely the right decision it was a tough decision it took two years um but by the time you know we've settled I think the community and the board will be happy with uh the results so um it it wasn't a normal process by any stretch and I think they were fully expecting us to just say okay you know yeah that's good we'll take that and even though we knew you know we were somewhat undercut so um it was a big effort it was a big effort but it's finally been put the rest so just want a question in terms of timeline you know for the public um we waiting the approval from State Ed for
040the um the Safety project when something goes out to did how long does that take um it it takes no less than 30 days uh uh typically we not what dealing with state I'm sorry not what dealing with State no no there's there's public notifications right you have to put it out the weeks and then um the bid opening and then the bid leveling uh which is a big process so we typically plan for 45 to 60 days um but it I I I expect it'll take somewhere around 30 days um I think we'll be I think we'll have a depending on how many contractors come out I think we'll be settled with this um a month after it's approved thank you so much so yeah and fully expect there's nothing that leads us to
041believe that this project will not be completed this summer so we're on track if anything changes I will obviously update you and the public but right now we are on track to start you know day one of of spring uh summer vacation thank you thank you all right go hambles that brings us to our first public comment I see that no one is here in person with us today um we will move on to Round Table discussion do you have something to share with us do thank you very much I just wanted to say thank you we always talk about continuous Improvement and for each of the presenters this evening from our team you heard of let's put this a little bit further away a little discussion prior to the meeting as to how close
