Pre post season. So any regular season, home game, once it goes into playoffs.
It's a P. Ia ticket, and we can't control the pricing on that.
And then General Mission for the Musical. On any of the nights and we will still have our senior night, which is this Thursday.
The plays, musical music events like our winter music, event, or spring music, events, they get into all of it for free.
So Hi! Already made up little cards that they can take home with them.
That shows them how to look up the calendars and what they get into, and how it works so hopefully, we see a lot of people coming back and bringing, you know, friends and family with them, and just reengaging with the community, because we have a lot of to do.
So yeah, that's what it is. It's a good idea.
Yeah, pretty much anything that requires admissions. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, I like that. Yeah, it's just a little thing.
But I they were all everyone I talked to was very excited about it.
I think Eileen are Brian district office administrator, assistant was she's been here for a couple of years, she's saying like, in the 2 years she's been here.
Only 3 people have ever come to get one and since we put it out in the Newsletter at the beginning of February, we've done like 20.
Okay, so there's a huge engagement. They're really excited.
Lot of people really excited that they can go to the football games in the fall it just is like a Friday night thing to do that's exciting for them.
So, yeah, yeah, very exciting. Any other questions about the newsletter.
No, okay. Oh, thank you. And all the photographs were very useful.
And yeah, very well done. When I got it I was like, Yes, they sent it to a private email list, and I saw them on.
So that's why.
I don't know.
Any policies about what type of of our students? Yeah, that was really as far as.
Yeah, yeah, let's I can address the one. Why did you make the case that?
The Newsletter cause. I wanted it to reach more than just our families.
I wanted it to be to show the greater community what we're doing within the district, including the Golden Age Club, including a list of events.
There was also. I know we're looking for athletics, coaches.
So there were other things in there, and that was really the purpose was to reach the full community, not just our parents.
We have lots of outlets right now, like the email list that you're referring to, that we can get to that like, get to our parents.
It's reaching everybody in the community, and kind of like showing them a little taste of like what we're still doing in the district and bringing it back after having a few bad years like, you know, years where there weren't events and there weren't a lot of pictures and stuff like that it was that was kind
of the goal, and then it was more. It's marketing, it's highlighting what we do.
Education is changing, you know we have charter schools and stuff.
Now, we wanna highlight like, why, Dairy Township is a great place to be.
Does that answer your question? Okay? And we'll come to the other questions at the end.
Is that? Okay? Okay, awesome. If that's okay, I'm gonna move on to my other part of the informational new business.
So the other exciting thing that I have to share is that we have.
I have a high school intern now for the first time.
Her name is Cameron. She is a senior, and she I got in contact with Cameron because I would see her at every sporting event.
If you've probably seen Cameron, she is like running up and down the field with a camera, and we just got talking, and she's like running up and down the field with a camera, and we just got talking, and she expressed an interest in working with me so we worked with Miss
Smith, who is the internship and work experience coordinator at the high school about an internship for Cameron.
And now she can come with me across the district, because there's time in her schedule every day to go and do things, or to work on things.
So she's getting a taste of what? How I put my thought into social media, and how I work on the website and graphic design also, just giving her the experience of going into the other buildings and just experiencing classrooms in the elementary school in the middle school so she came to an art
class in the middle school. She came to the 100 Days School at the elementary school, which is always so much fun.
So that's that's Cameron. So that's for this year.
Next year I already have a junior who has reached out to me and expressed entrance and doing a full year internship, and she is going to pursue a degree in digital communications after high school.
So this I it's gonna be a great experience, I think, for her to come and work with me, and we'll do be able to get into a lot more.
Cam just wanted to do photography. She's going into nursing after school after high school.
But this student for next year, pending all the things she needs to get done, we'll be able to like, build our portfolio and some work experience which I think is really great because it's hard to get work experience and a lot of employers want some kind of experience and it's hard
to get when you're, you know, just a senior in high school.
So really excited that the social media, and what like the design and everything website, everything is reaching our student population in the high school.
And it's people want to come and learn more and they're seeing that communications within a district is very much a thing that could be explored.
So I'm excited about that. And hopefully, that's a program I can continue to run year after year as having high school students who are interested, whether it's like they want to really focus on graphic design, or they wanna focus on photography, whatever it is bring them in with me and then
it's also very helpful for me, because I get a little inside scoop with the high School student body, which there's a lot going on there.
But Kim has already been very helpful, being like, there's something going on today. Come on over.
I'll take pictures for you. She's already there.
What knows the Kid knows what's going on so it's definitely like a win win.
So I'm excited about that one just upgrade.
Update the group about that. Any questions about that?
Okay, that's all I have for information. That's it.
I'm so sorry. Yes, new business. Okay. And then, lastly, was the website that was in my district updates, you want to move on to that.
If that's okay. So I think, I briefly went over this last time.
But it's been a while since we met. So we currently we're using blackboard.
They were bought out by company called Final Site in our contract has been transferred, and that was approved by the Board in December.
So now we're actually starting to do a content migration and.
And pick out layouts and stuff like that so I picked out a layout which I was hoping to show, but it is not pulling up on this computer at all.
But I can share that with the group. If you're interested.
So we picked out a layout that's going to be very clean and very updated and refreshed.
And I'm also rethinking the entire way.
The website is mapped. So right now, it does feel like there's a lot of the same information in different places.
It doesn't all make a lot of sense. Sometimes it's like somebody did this part.
And somebody did this part, and the 2 don't really.
They're not cohesive, or like a nate. Someone switches, rolls.
The name gets updated once Spot, but it's also like 6 other places on the website.
It's very hard to track down, so it's going to be completely redesigned.
I will be asking for feedback from this group as soon as I'm able to like.
Send out a link that can be looked at. There's some great features I've already come across, which is one thing which I'm excited about.
Is any kind of resource, like a Pdf file, or a picture or video, it will show me every single place.
It is on the website right now, or going on my website.
So if there's like a change to a Pdf, so whether that's like we just change language. Our policy changes.
It will show me every single place on that website, and allow me to replace it all at once.
So nothing will get missed, and if anything's ever removed from the website, it will give me Aert saying it's still in use, which is a problem that I come across all the time where I'm like clicking on a link.
And the link is gone because someone took the document off. I'll probably rein in access a little bit.
Just so for this to get started at least, and develop kind of a brand guideline.
So every single web page looks the same. All the links will look the same.
It will flow very much like a cohesive website designed by one person as opposed to now, where it is kind of all over the place, and there are pages on there that have not been updated in a long time such as teacher pages or sports pages.
So we're gonna everything's gonna be reevaluated.
It's gonna be a lot of work, but it will definitely be worth it.
And it's going to look really nice. We're also which I'm very excited about going to get some updated drone footage of the district.
That will be on the web page so it's very much gonna highlight.
Our one campus model so I'm very excited about that.
I am aiming still and on track to have a summer launch.
So before August first there will be a new website the sooner in the summer I can do it the better, because I would like everything to be ready to go before school or teachers, or even back, and with the launch of the website I will have some kind of small demos for parents on like how to access.
Certain things and how to navigate through the website and things to look for.
Excuse me, that'd be on the website. Are you gonna have them come in to do it?
It will be all digital. So I'll probably send it through mailing.
Yeah, just like an FAQ sort of thing, like, what's what's going on.
Here's what to look for. Here's what to find.
Things you maybe used to buttons up here. Now, this is where you're gonna find them stuff like that, just because things are going to look different. And I know that's that's a big change for people who use the website regularly to find calendars and stuff like that.
So, yeah, I will be looking hopefully. Mayor June, for more eyeballs on it to just take a look and see that I'm not missing something which I will, because once you get into a project, it's very easy to like have tunnel vision, and miss like something so
I'll be looking for that in the future.
That's all. I have any questions about the website.
I!
No, our teachers that was, I think, her. The teachers required to have a web page or no right now it is for part of orientation to set up a web page.
So when they do their onboarding with Miss Landry, they do set up a page.
And I think that that's an old, old way of thinking of things, because when that was happening we didn't have canvass and seesaw which parent, not parents.
Teachers use a lot more. Their updating all their like coursework on to canvas or onto Cesaw that's how they're updating their parents.
So I think we've shifted. And now the websites aren't being updated because they're focused on canvas and seesaw which is direct to their their students and their families.
We haven't made any final decisions. But I I'm favoring and going away from Teacher Web pages and just having a directory which has their contact information we'll have a picture of them hopefully and and then links to get to canvas and seesaw so that they the families and the students can
just access their resources from there, because a lot of those teacher, web pages are not being updated.
And I, okay, it doesn't make any sense to keep them if they're not gonna update them, because then it it just doesn't look great.
In my opinion, I think the most useful thing I mean canvas obviously has everything that student needs.
You know my next question that I'll ask later or answer later is, I don't know what Cecil is, but anyway, so I understand this.
But the web pages. Like as a parent it would be nice and maybe the teachers aren't even have to update this.
That can be done centrally, but I would love to be able to go to a teacher's website, see their picture, see what courses they teach okay, and see what activities they're okay and see what activities. They're advisor for basically just you know name rang serial number that kind
of stuff. And that's great for high school level, cause it.
Those teachers are doing that kind of stuff. No, that's perfect.
And then at an elementary level I mean, they'll still do coaching and clubs and stuff like that.
But then the grade they teach or the subject. Okay, that's definitely very doable.
But then that's a good idea. That I do think is I don't know how difficult this it shouldn't be, but post-covid, especially.
It'd be nice to have web pages for each club because there's a list of clubs.
I don't think there's a link that there isn't.
There's a description and an advisor right?
So that and a lot of the advisors aren't up to date.
But it'd be great to have it be a link which could include the description.
And the advisor but a little bit more about what they're currently doing when they're meeting because whenever I talk to students and the advisor but a little bit more about what they're currently doing when they're meeting, because whenever I talk to students they're like yeah, you have no idea when that club's meeting I don't think that clubs meeting this year over and
over again. Okay, you know they don't hear the announcements or clubs are kind of still unlimbo to Host Covid and Clubs are almost, if not more important than some of the academic stuff.
I mean there that's where students take on leadership, project, management, initiative and don't want them to fault, miss some of the things that they could be doing.
There's so much that we have here, and I think a lot of a lot of it is just a few, a few kids running it because no one else knows about it.
But anyway, that's just not my little yeah. So you would like core information to have on a club page would be obviously, who runs it?
What it's doing, and maybe when it's meeting, yeah, like those 3 things, maybe even current officers.
Because this way, students, I'd rather say, you know, have Erica go to?
Your student Erica. Go to Maria, the club president rather than bobbing you the adviser, because the adviser is just the advisor.
It really is the students that are supposed to be running these things, and it'd be nice to keep that kind of stuff up to date.
Okay, yeah, it's if I can give them. Yeah, if I can give the adviser the officers like the minimum, like, you need to have this updated on your page.
That's why I was asking and then if they wanna go, does it do more?
And that's fine. But like at the very minimum, I want to see this and same thing with if we kept team pages like athletic team pages, the same thing.
Thank you. This will be on the website. So this will be forward-facing like extracurriculars.
Saying, I don't know when this needs. They can click on link or click on Key Club. Oh, there's meetings.
There's a meeting next week. Oh, the wall for clean water is April fifth.
There's this! Oh, Sally is the president. I'm gonna go reaching out to her and let the kids be very proactive.
Yeah, have them be links. So that. And then he's gonna get involved.
What we need about the sports same thing. Basically, the sports will have the coaches.
The description, and then their schedule. Whether that's just their schedule, just basic information.
I just wanna be able to give coaches and advisors like very clean cut like you need to have this updated and needs to be done once a semester, once it you can market whatever it is, or if it's a team, what just the beginning of the season.
How do they do it? How do they get access, or do they just say to you like, how to?
No, they have access. They give them just to their page, though.
Yeah, we can do specific, like, us, everyone has a login to the website.
And once they log in they can only see certain things like everyone has a login to the website, and once they log in, they can only see certain things.
You don't have to be like a tech genius to figure it out.
No, no, I mean it's it requires some training.
That was based. Yeah, yeah, it. It does require a little bit of training.
But it's it's not super difficult.
Obviously will need to be re. The training will need to be revamped, and I'm happy to also like make training, facilitate training.
Do training, or have a some kind of form where they send me that information like they fill out those 4 things.
We're just talking about, and then I make it happy to do that, too, because then it says Consistent.
So options. So that so then you could also do it.
If you have the clubs and sports like for band for the play, I'm just thinking like, if you've got kids that are coming in transferring whatever it is, you know, parents or the kids want to go on the website.
And say, Oh, you know, this is going to be the fall play.
Tryouts are here, you know. Yes, you're we're thinking on the same level, because I did wanna add, like a whole section of the website, that's just extra curriculars at all levels, right?
Because going back to like showing off what we have in the district, and why Dairy Township school district is a great place to be extra curriculars are such a huge part of that.
So that was I was working through kind of that thing process as well of like.
What does this look like at every grade level? Of course our music program is incredible.
We wanna highlight that stuff, too. And maybe for things like that.
It's the description is really important and awards.
We want a really important, but that's we're kind of on the same page.
Yeah, I think about new students, or I'm thinking about eighth grade going into ninth grade.
Just, you know, very inform. I'm not informational.
Yes, for someone who doesn't. Yeah, where to start radical, we can go on forever.
Yes, it's true. How did you see that, Mrs.
Golf has some questions on. Oh, I did not. I'm sorry I was looking at my notes.
I thought you'd probably be looking at the agenda in your notes in front of you.
Hi! All sorry, I ironically. It is a website launched that did not go as planned.
That is keeping me in my office today. But I have a lot of questions.
It sounds like you've got a lot of great ideas.
But have there been any user proofs mapped out, or journey mapping for the various perspectives of the consumers of the website?
So incoming parents or existing parents, school board members, community.
Have you kind of gone through and mapped out the needs of each of these groups?
And and what they're expecting to find on a website.
Not necessarily in the way that you've described it, but I have begin mapping out what's on our website in all the different places.
Do on the district site for right now. I haven't gotten to the school level sites where everything is, and if it makes sense for it to be there, I'm open to suggestions or feedback on.
I think it'd be great to talk to the sources and to have focus groups or smaller working groups where you're really talking to each of these groups that is coming to the website and understanding what their needs are and their expectations.
Because I think, as you've noted in prior meetings, there are different gaps with the current website.
And it's one thing for this group to think about what should be on there from their perspective.
But it's a different. It's different when you hear from each of those users and personas individually as a group, and just start to hear their voices, because sometimes they have drastically different opinions of what should be there.
Okay, I will look into that.
Awesome, and then a great exercise I'm not sure if you have it planned out.
Is to actually have wireframes, and to put those to test them out.
So instead of you know, it's awesome to provide faqs, and and feedback to parents.
But even before then it's really good to get them into like a a focus group setting where you can set them up with laptops and say, Hey, if you were, gonna go find this like if you need to define the lunch menu or you need to register your child how would you do that
and you actually sit there and see how they would do it.
And if they're able to do it with the wireframes that you are presenting.
Yeah, I had had some of those thoughts. I haven't had.
Our website's not at that point yet, but I am meeting with someone tomorrow.
I was gonna talk to them about getting into it like at what point in time will I be able to get into it, and how it's going to to look pre launch so that would I can use that?
In a focus group settings that you're talking about.
You can even do it with the wireframes that you map out so you can put it in a word, document and kind of have basic like dropdown menus and things.
You don't even need it laid out to try to understand how someone would navigate to get to kindergarten registration, or when is the next school play?
So you can just validate that your assumptions of how you are categorizing and organizing that information makes sense.
Okay, thank you. Along those lines. Do we still have data on hits per page, like, we stay at reports like, Oh, this page gets converted, like, we stay at reports like, Oh, this page gets can get this many hits, or you know, where are most. People going. Are they going to the calendar the
most, I can. We've got page by page, and it will tell me but I can't see it like an all.
But I will will be setting up Google analytics on the new page so I will be able to receive that information going forward.
But that was never set up on the old page. I would have to click on each page, and I can see how many people went, at what timeframe.
Just curious. Yeah. And I can go to some of those like front-facing things and see that I can't export like a giant reporter for all the pictures, and the other thing also kind of in line with what Julie was thinking was maybe I don't know how to do
it. But whenever I go to the search bar it ends up searching the Internet rather than the website, like like, you wouldn't have to worry about so much about mapping and logic where people would find things if I could just go up and say, Pdf, athletic, form now, that you can actually go on
the web, the Internet, and find that. But some things like that are more specific. I would love to just go to a search bar and say, You know, band and brings me right to the band page.
Yeah, something like my understanding from them you know, I hasn't gotten to the point where I can actually try.
And for myself, but it internal search of the website.
So the search bar that we're going to have on the new website is going to be internal and not what you get on the current website, which is exactly what you want to have on the new website is going to be internal and not what you get on the current website which is exactly yeah, it's doing. Like a Google search basically I haven't tried. It.
For myself. That's what I've been told. So when I get there, and I'm able to try it hopefully. If that lives up to what I've been told. So when I get there and I'm able to try it, hopefully, thank you.
Anything else on the website? Just a blanket thought back to what I was saying about having this one.
Place for activities, and then you were saying that the like, the people who run the clubs would populate that, and like not that you need more work to do.
But I my instinct I don't know.
I feel like that. Should any information like that should be housed with you are your your oversight, that it would roll up for her?
Not like that, she would have to say, Look, this wasn't updated because I could see what you're saying like 3 Presidents ago, is still listed there.
And then she it's almost like she becomes this middleman where she should just be doing it.
Do you say, yeah, we may give you, I think the advisors should be responsible for making sure when they have.
You know, the New Year. It's their page, but they students do it.
But the advisors should be monitoring the content, because if she has to monitor every single page I don't know, I mean it's a great job for an intern.
Okay. So I was thinking, I love that. I do. Just in this conversation.
Just can just grow and you lose control. And yeah, yeah, like, I see what you're saying.
They should be I I you definitely have to have the guard rail so that you have the, you know you're you're here. Advisor is here, and then the secretary or the president, or whoever is here.
But you can't be doing this. It has to go through, but you may.
The chain of command. Yeah. So the question is giving them the control, the access to that page to update it.
Or do I send them like a form on a schedule, and they fill it out and then I upload it.
I don't know. The advisor, I think. Well, you decide, but I think, having the advisor having the oversight rather than you would be better for your your mentality, it's like the queen of all the infra right.
So. But if they're not doing it, that's my point.
It's like Jen if they're not doing it.
Cause. That's probably not at the forefront of their mind.
No, it's okay to put on the advisor I mean, that's their.
That's her job. So she's either saying, Hey, you didn't do. I don't know.
This is, we're like, way in the weeds of it.
But I just yeah, I'm going. Yeah. I'll keep everything up to date.
The way that it's supposed to look like. It's like that's exactly the stuff that should be on there.
But making sure it's uniform and updated.
Yeah, yeah, she's on it. That was the only thing I've had. I can't imagine.
It would take like once it's set up like, you know.
For example, soccer, you know, once the coach has their basic, you know thing, and maybe that's something.
The athletic director, you know, tells them you have to update with.
You know what they, the seasons schedule is?
Try outs like, just that kind of stuff. But the mainframe for advisors already.
Really, just needs a one time setup right, and then yeah, update advisor and stuff like that yeah, once they get into the swing, it.
But that becomes part of their responsibility.
Ideally, I mean, I mean, like for most clubs and sports, they won't hand out papers.
Pdf. Attach it. You have the. You have the workout schedule.
Yeah. The pre-season meeting notes and you have the game schedule, you know, whatever they're gonna be doing on paper.
Pdf, so I guess it's communication from the director of just saying, this is important.
This is what we're doing. This is the direction we're going in like, how are you going to keep that?
Keep everybody like you're saying. The teacher page is like they just kind of, you know, like you just don't want that to happen.
And back to the point of all of this information being online, this is how kids are accessing information.
Now like, how are we making sure that it is? It is all there. I mean.
That's a you can work in automatic reminders from your email to all advisors or all staff.
At the beginning of the month, or, yeah, in order to update your website to reflect any new.
Yeah, my, thought. And I would have to play around with it to make sure this is actually feasible is setting up like a template page for all the different clubs, giving them access okay, and then saying, like, just go in and fill out all that information and then I can probably run a report that says, like
when when the last time those pages were updated. That's my thought.
I know I can run that report now, and since this is seems to be like leaps and bounds ahead of what I have now, I'm thinking I can do it again.
But, like I said, I have to make sure it's feasible, but maybe that's the move.
Like setting all that up, getting it all doing the workup, fron to get it looking the way I want it to, and then giving them all access and sending you have to do this, and then scheduled reminder of you know it's the tired of a new marking period.
If anything has changed, please go in and change it. Please add your schedule for this marking period, and whatever that looks like, and that I think at the end it would just for them letting them know how much easier it would be to anybody who has questions give them you know send them the link in an
email and then they have it all right in front of them, as opposed to constantly having to keep answering.
You know, back and forth. Yeah, I mean, that's way.
Less work from me to let me constantly, I mean helps keep it on track, and it is if I can get the one page main the way I like it.
I can have my intern duplicate page, sign them.
But that's yeah. That's a later. That's a little thing to get sorted out.
That's great discussion, though I I think that we can come up with something, or I can come up with something that's not too overwhelming.
It is overwhelming that when you start to think about all the little things, but I I think people will really appreciate that, because I think more and more people go to the website to find things and you can't find it's frustrating when you find it's like so
nice. Yes, yeah, I was actually just at the same.
It is going to be like night and day with the mobile devices.
So they very much is like they've designed it mobile, first sort of in terms of everything is going to be completely mobile.
Friendly and yeah, it's going to be very nice so yeah, looking forward to that, too, because I think, probably like 90% of people are looking on their phone just for quick information.
They're not sitting down at a computer. That's my guess.
Students are on their ipad. So obviously, yeah, and I can actually toggle into mobile and design that way if I want to.
In the back end composer that I have. So that's also something I don't have now which will help.
Alright. We'll talk more about websites, I'm sure.
Any, I thought websites. I didn't have this screen open, and I that's in my glasses on.
But I thought new district website was part of new business. So can I still add something to your business?
Sure something. 2 things that prompted when you guys are all discussing things when you were talking about your student interns, how can we go about adding, student advisors to this committee?
So we have students and parents and board. Is that something that I know we did it for curriculum counsel.
I don't know what the process is to say. We'd like to to inter, you know, to citizen advisors, or do we say whoever you're 2 interns are become citizen advisors? I don't know whatever.
But I think it'd be nice to have student input on this committee.
Yeah, it feels like the interns would be appropriate.
I might just have one intern but I did talk with Miss Smith about about that's a good point about them coming at the very least, coming in just like watching what this looks like.
And then at the last one of these for the her year, doing a presentation.
So we had talked about doing that kind of like a culminating project that you could kind of show what she'd done throughout the year.
I, think I'm only gonna have one for next year.
I don't know if that is that just because of interest or because of capacity, is it possible to a senior to junior I think that's putting a lot on Miss Carpel to manage why, I didn't know all of her other responsibilities for more bodies to help you do this you should have just happened organically, right that's like people
showing interest and leaving like, that's I'm on board with that I wanna like if they have an interest.
I absolutely wanna show them. If a second student wanted to, I would look at what that looks like, maybe how they can work together to work on things.
Otherwise, if I mean, if you have a student intern, that's you know, that we would only need one student, one student advisor, in addition to the interim, just trying to see how can we get to students involved, with an intern that's it. You know then we would only need one student advisor in addition to the intro i'm just
trying involved a little bit. Just kind of being that liaison between us and the students.
You know, and then maybe next year, moving forward, you know, we can see where we lie and see where you are in your comfort level.
Do you have enough work? You know that kind of thing yeah, I definitely think we can get the one that's interested to come next year.
I kind of already put that in like description of what I would expect.
I can ask Cam about coming in April. She's so maybe she won't want me maybe it's not this year, but maybe next year, when you kind of I'm sure you wanna put together what your intern chip will look like.
Yes, you know. Yeah, I'll learn a lot, I think, from the one just having the one next year.
And what that can go look like going forward I don't know.
But if the second one is, you know not, doesn't have to be the entry to be somebody else.
Just go through the same channels through Lindsey Schmidt, at the High School, in the way that we select it.
R 2 for curriculum. This is great getting, because I think this year more than ever.
I've you know the. For whatever reason our students have been really providing input not only the advisors but also the Student Representative School Board at also our curriculum have been starting more engaged.
And I just, I think that's yeah. There's a lot of value there.
And then my second thing was also after we were talking about when we were talking about.
Your involvement with the internship, and how they're again Cairo town.
As a community. Outreach. I'm not sure if this is our role.
I don't really think it's curriculum counsel but is there a way that we could use our community outreach as a way of identifying people in the community?
That will be interested in taking on an intern as a, as a as a file for Mrs.
Smith, as like I always get my Alma Mater colleges always send who's interested in taking a you know, a spring break, intern or anything.
What involvement do you want to do you have do something outreach.
And so when students say, Hey, I wanna do this kind of internship good, go find it rather than Mrs.
Smith could say, Well, these are all the attorneys who said they would take a student, intern or, yeah, these amount, you know, for a semester or a year, or a marking period, and then you have to at least you have a starting.
The students have a starting point, our internships become a nightmare for students and families to try to find somebody, and we know our community is very rich in people that are willing to do this kind of stuff, almost anything special with I mean, a lot of people obviously working remote but I think we probably have every industry.
You could imagine here, that would be great internships. We just students just don't know how to find those people like that'd be very easy to put in the Newsletter.
Yeah, I think it's a really good way to put in the Newsletter yeah, I think it's really like, we just don't know how to find those people like that'd be very easy to put in the Newsletter.
Yeah, I think it's really up on our internship programs and that we're always simple questionnaire that they can be on. Did you have a questionnaire that could be kept on, Miss miss? Whatever her file? You know all the attorneys when they'd be available?
What kind of specialty they have. Okay, just never doing that yeah, let me connect with Miss Smith.
We've we talk a lot now, because she's using the social media now to advertise other sorts of opportunities as well, which is just so I I can see, like how we can if I can help how I can help what that looks like for her sure.
One on one call and zoom whatever she wants. Let me reach out to her, appreciate it.
Thanks, Donna. Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. I'm sure the more people she has on deck that the better for her it may her life.
Yeah. Sure. Did you find in her mentor yet?
Yeah, we can include things about Clinton's and stuff like that.
Yeah, we can include things about Clinton's stuff like that cause damn cheap express.
So that's a little difficult sometimes to get clearances for people.
And that's why this one's so easy. Because obviously I have my clearances.
But yeah, some external places. It can be a little difficult for students and a lot of waiting, and then all of a sudden, it doesn't work out.
And the opportunities come anyways. Yes, I will look into that more.
Thank you, Donna. We only have a few minutes left, but I didn't wanna circle back to your questions.
Will you repeat them? There was a few.
There should be like a little red light, it's pretty dull, but no, how about now?
Yeah, okay, this is leakable. What have any policies been developed about the type or amount of personal identifying information of our students that we post on a public social media platform?
We have not changed any policies, or added any board approved policies.
Personal policy is that I don't usually put names with photos unless they have like one, in a word, or something like that.
That's usually at the High school level other than that.
I haven't really been putting like this student's name with the students.
Photo. Is that what you mean? And it is there, and.
What's there? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Do you have a specific example? Is that what you're? Yeah?
There's some examples where students are highlighted for an achievement.
And their photo is posted with their first and last name.
What they achieved, their extracurricular involvement, relative greater age, like student of the month, other students of the month, like athletic awards, the college letters of Intent.
There was an art student whose work was posted with personal things like that.
We're a lot of student information is posted that is exploitable like it makes it.
Either that student can be contacted via social media, or because someone knows where they go to school and what they're involved in, or when they can find them on school after school or on school property, after school hours is what I had mentioned last time.
But even contacting them through social media.
So? How?
I was wondering if there's any guidance you seek from anyone as far as what you post, or how you post it.
My policy is really been. It's usually achievements that I do post within of the month.
We do have like a separate letter of consent from the parents about social media.
It's tricky with high school, especially because a lot of those students that are getting those achievements.
They want them highlighted. We, I hear, way more.
If something is missed, than if something is included so like athletic signing, that's something that parents love to see and love to have shared.
It's just been in my experience that especially at a high school level, when students are winning awards and scholarships today, was a speech contest or an essay contest, they want that stuff shown.
That's just been my experience. So I had an idea.
Okay. So I think already athletes at least have to sign the waiver that they that they will be included in pictures and in the they can't they're picked their name, and they're using utilized. Okay, thank you.
That's very helpful. So I thought, cause digital citizenship is a part of dairy township school districts. Curriculum, right?
So you have multiple teachers who are teaching online safety to our students.
So what if you put together a panel of those teachers for the purpose of reviewing our social media practices and developing policy on the framework of is what we're doing with our students?
Personal information, online, congruent with what we teach them to do with their personal.
Okay. Because if we're teaching them don't share with strangers online where you go to school while we go and share with strangers online where they go to school, what's the point?
Because if they have all their safety, privacy, settings on their social media profile, and someone finds them first through the school district, then they already know all that so like.
What would you think about that, can we? But this is just a thought, because it's 5.
Oh, one in finances lining up! Could we make this an agenda item?
I'm suggesting we make this an agenda item, and then maybe you could come better prepared because I'm hearing like you're saying that things are out there.
She's saying, this is kind of the baseline practices.
Now we're getting into curriculum. So this seems to be a bigger conversation, and I'd like for the administration to come more prepared.
And then we also make policy already on these things that I'd probably be helpful.
Thank you. Did you not? Photo policy? Is that the one here we have?
We have a couple policies that address this, but I'd have to go back and read them.
So that would be helpful for me to have that time.
Okay, I just think, we need, oh, yeah, well, yes, a good conversation, and I'd like to get into it. I don't want to cut you off, but I'd have to go back and meet.
Yeah, either. I personally comment on curriculum. Anyways.
So we'll have to kind of reconvene.
But I appreciate you bringing an idea along with what year?
Thinking about. Thanks. Leia. Okay, momentum. Do we have any public comment before we motion for a German?
Anybody online. There are no attendees. Okay, the next meeting is going to be April 27, April 20, at April 20 seventh, at 4 Pm.
Here, and can I get a motion for a thank you.
So moved.
