DTSD Webinars: Work towards that, too.
DTSD Webinars: She's not serve at school yet, so I told her to look into it a little more. Gotcha. Did you have a lot of people interested in that position. She is the only one she reached out to me directly before
DTSD Webinars: before even the internship position was posted. Like it, or the process was posted by Vicki Smith. So she reached out to me directly she was sent my way by
DTSD Webinars: a school psychologist, an intern that we had from one of the colleges was working with my student, getting like just got to know her over her time at the High School, and suggested to reach out to me.
DTSD Webinars: So that was really nice. That that person sent me a student as a connection, so she's the only person.
DTSD Webinars: but I didn't advertise it. So is there like, is there a there's a position, post it that people could apply for, but just no one did. No, there wasn't a position. So she reached out and said, If it's asked if it was something i'd be interested in taking on.
DTSD Webinars: I talked to Ms. Smith, the Internship coordinator and said: like, I am interested, I can take on one student. And
DTSD Webinars: so the 3 of us sat down. She sounded really interested.
DTSD Webinars: Sound like a good student. So that's where that came from. It was very organic. It wasn't like a a process. But if next year goes well, I
DTSD Webinars: definitely would be open to making it like a formal process that's open has a job description stuff like that.
DTSD Webinars: It's kind of happening naturally with Cam at half a year in photography. And now.
DTSD Webinars: Emma, for a full year. Perfect.
DTSD Webinars: She's taking all more responsibilities. We got to monitor that. But yeah, no, that's I think that's some. They help, though, like it is a win. Win, because
DTSD Webinars: Kam has taken step off of my plate for sure. If there's events that I i'm at something else she can go and be there as well. So it's. Sometimes it's like having 2 people which does help me. It does take step off by fleet, so it adds in one way, but it act. It helps a lot in another way, so
DTSD Webinars: I don't see it too too much. If I had a whole group of them. Maybe it would be too much, but for one I think I can manage.
DTSD Webinars: We'll see. Well, sounds good.
DTSD Webinars: Thanks all right, so let's see, we have some unfinished business.
DTSD Webinars: Yes, you want me to go ahead.
DTSD Webinars: Awesome. Okay. Last time we had discussed minutes and videos on the website. and what that was gonna look like I didn't get a ton of feedback. So I discussed with Dr. Winslow afterwards.
DTSD Webinars: and just made my made a decision because I wanted. I needed just to make a decision at that point. So what I'm going to do, based on the research that I've done what I think is gonna be helpful for our community is i'm gonna keep one year of audio recordings
DTSD Webinars: on our website, so that's going to be audio with transcribed
DTSD Webinars: like close captioning. So that meets our eighta compliance, and then 3 years of Pdf. Minutes on the website.
DTSD Webinars: All other minutes and audio recordings going back a decade are going to be taken off of our new website, and they're going to be put into a Google drive. Our board members will have access to all of that information, and then there will also be a piece on the minutes website
DTSD Webinars: that if anybody is looking for something specific they can contact me. I will get them that I can get it. I can also do post captioning specifically for the ones that are requested, so that stays compliant.
DTSD Webinars: and
DTSD Webinars: I think that's going to be plenty, and if I find that i'm getting a ton of requests, we can re-evaluate, it because i'm going to keep everything
DTSD Webinars: but this point
DTSD Webinars: like going back to 2,006 is just a little little too much for the website. I'm trying to slim things down on there to begin with, and make it
DTSD Webinars: not like a a hoarding ground for all of the things for the last 10 years or 20 years.
DTSD Webinars: On top of that I will also be adding an accessibility statement
DTSD Webinars: to our website that we'll have information about our mission towards accessibility, and if any anyone comes across any concerns find something on the website that is not accessible. They can contact me directly.
DTSD Webinars: So that's just something that you're i'm seeing a lot on a lot of websites now. So we're going to be adding that.
DTSD Webinars: So I just wanted to clear that up or tell you where I landed. Board members will receive a brief, I believe. Right?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, perfect. Yeah. So I sent a board brief for board members that has a lot more detail. But that's the summary, that's all it says.
DTSD Webinars: and if you have any questions, you can by all means reach out to me
DTSD Webinars: but just an area just to click on for, and it's more for questions that kind of
DTSD Webinars: various websites, especially government government ones. Now, down at the bottom there's links like on the foot of a website, and there's like site map contact us. One of those will be accessibility, and that's popping up a lot on websites now. So I just want to have a landing place where people, if they have questions about accessibility, or having troubles with our website, that they
DTSD Webinars: there's a place where they can reach me directly. That's where they would normally look on any other website. So it's all consistent
DTSD Webinars: across the board. Okay, so that's that way. But that'd be totally different than the contact Us? Yeah, they kind of the 2 things came from the same problem. But they're gonna be. My name will be in both spots for different reasons to.
DTSD Webinars: But yeah.
DTSD Webinars: just some updates coming for the website.
DTSD Webinars: So I have a question. The one Year audio, you said would also have transcribed: yeah, with transcription. Yeah. Similar. If you put on close captioning on a TV show, it's gonna look at the exact same.
DTSD Webinars: So that outlook can be really the words visual. But you don't you don't get a full transcription. You have to watch it and see. See? The yeah, I mean realistically, I could.
DTSD Webinars: I mean it's just linking a a full file of all the text to an audio clip, and it knows to match up the time stamps.
DTSD Webinars: Realistically, we could do like a full transcribed file if that was something. But you said you have the 3, so i'm just making sure. I understand some of the 3 years of Pdf. Minutes Pretty much is that transcription that the 3 years, the minutes are what Miss Ag: right? So that get approved. Okay, those are the minutes that I was referring to. So the full board is only for one year, every you know. Hearing? Yes, yes, Gotcha.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah. And then otherwise the 3 years are going to be the minutes that you see Miss Ag. To
DTSD Webinars: Oh, see, I thought okay, so that might be in that clarify that
DTSD Webinars: the the one Year audio
DTSD Webinars: to have a file attached to it.
DTSD Webinars: I mean, some people don't have an hour or an hour and a half to watch the whole thing, even on one and a half speed, but you can see it
DTSD Webinars: is sometimes. I don't know just. I don't know they don't have access to that now to be. They don't have access to that now. But i'm already uploading the file. So I don't think it makes a difference if I link it
DTSD Webinars: in both places. You know what I mean. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the what, how difficult is for you. But if it wasn't difficult, that's just a suggestion.
DTSD Webinars: Okay?
DTSD Webinars: Okay? Well, no, i'm confused. I I can. It's not difficult, because it's already being uploaded. It's not okay. So for the one year. Yes, you have audio, which is what people can watch right now and listen to. And then obviously, the words see the words underneath it right?
DTSD Webinars: And then the 3 year
DTSD Webinars: are the minutes that are approved. Those minutes contact you.
DTSD Webinars: There's no full dialogue. It's just the handwritten, not handwritten, but handwritten minutes of what happened. It's no dialogue and back and forth like the full audio.
DTSD Webinars: I was saying a full audio of the video transcribed
DTSD Webinars: Right? Which isn't really transcribed. It's just taking the post captioning and you just basically are able to just link the file to basically put all the words together.
DTSD Webinars: It might not understand that correctly.
DTSD Webinars: I think you are. It's it. So right now we don't have video on our website for
DTSD Webinars: any audio. Yeah, no, that's I just wanted to clarify, because I don't want to get the too confused
DTSD Webinars: right now. All we have is just a
DTSD Webinars: audio file. There's no words. There's no nothing what I and then we have the minutes that are written out that are have been on there for since 2,006, so we'll keep the minutes for 3 years. Those are like a summary. They're not like a we're like
DTSD Webinars: conversational dialogue, and then we'll have the audio still with the words underneath, just to for compliance for Ada. If you're
DTSD Webinars: deaf. Then you're able to go through it. I I understand what you're asking. I will look into it more. You can explain to the wrong and misunderstood it. If it's not something that's easy. I
DTSD Webinars: yeah, I will let me let me take a look with our new website. How that would look. I understand what you're asking. No, like just a file that's like the dialogue right word for word. If you don't want to watch it, you're just we're not watching. I keep saying that too big.
DTSD Webinars: If you're listening to the whole thing or reading it, if you're deaf
DTSD Webinars: rather than reading the whole thing, you could
DTSD Webinars: reading it, line by line.
DTSD Webinars: all in one
DTSD Webinars: documents, so to speak. Okay, I'm not sure if Mrs. Eg's notes is enough to compensate for that. I'm not really sure for people. Because right now we I haven't gotten any feedback that people are missing that
DTSD Webinars: because we don't have that right. Now.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, now. But we have to be 88 compliance, so we want to be able, but we have to do it just. We just have to figure out. How
DTSD Webinars: No. I've already figured out how to do it. I mean it's up to each school district to decide how they want to do it. Oh, yes, yes, so some don't have any recordings at all, and that's how they stay compliant.
DTSD Webinars: So I figured out a way to have the recordings and have it transcribed, which keeps us compliant.
DTSD Webinars: I don't know why that just keeps spinning in.
DTSD Webinars: Anyway, we can tell you more. It's nothing. You're yeah, I think we're all saying the same thing. I this might be.
DTSD Webinars: I'm spinning it around so it's fine. I got it. If if yeah, later, you have questions like you go home and you think about it more. I might just cut me off right here. Okay, so that might be best. I might. I'm asking questions. I haven't seen it, so I just need to see an operation. And then yeah.
DTSD Webinars: yeah, that makes it. And I'm probably imagining it wrong. So
DTSD Webinars: we'll just stop there. And okay.
DTSD Webinars: that's that. That's why.
DTSD Webinars: So that will be up at the end of the summer.
DTSD Webinars: So i'm hoping that to have it for like July. But my data transfer from the old website to the new website got pushed back a month, so if I can get everything
DTSD Webinars: the way I want it to look before July I will post. But I don't. I don't even know what it's going to summers at some point. Yeah, I don't know what it's.
DTSD Webinars: It's going to look like when they're done with their data transfer.
DTSD Webinars: I've been working on all the pieces that I can do right now that Aren't getting transferred. I've been working on them. But I don't. I don't know what kind of. If it's going to be a master if it's going to look great. I really don't know what i'm going to end up with.
DTSD Webinars: But they said like May, so
DTSD Webinars: it's supposed to be by now, so we'll see
DTSD Webinars: we'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted, though, on like the the of the website.
DTSD Webinars: definitely before August. I want it up and running before August, when all that back to school stuff starts that's definitely like a I feel like that's a hard deadline in my head of one. Sure. It will get a lot of.
DTSD Webinars: you know traffic the website before school starts. So yeah, and I'm: I'm sure that starts you earlier than August, which is why I would hope i'm hoping July
DTSD Webinars: all right.
DTSD Webinars: The other thing I wanted to come back around to was the procedure for sharing photos online something that you we kind of got cut off at the end of the last meeting, and I wanted to circle back around to it.
DTSD Webinars: so I just just get started. I wanted to clarify what we do as a district and what it looks like for me to take pictures, and how that all comes to be
DTSD Webinars: so as of right now we do have our do not photo policy. I do get an a refreshed policy every Monday, and
DTSD Webinars: the teachers all have access to Who's on the do not photo policy. That's a part of their teacher view with their class lists and seeding arrangements and everything like that.
DTSD Webinars: If students receive certain accolades, I, we do a second level of approval from their parents. So if it's like national merit, scholarship, or students of the month, that will be here tonight.
DTSD Webinars: those sorts of things we sent home like another permission for
DTSD Webinars: for more background. When I go into a classroom I'm introduced to the classroom and the students, and it's explained. I explain who I am, what I do for the district. Why, I'm. There. Their teacher sometimes has already given them a heads up that i'm coming.
DTSD Webinars: and
DTSD Webinars: when I know i'm going into a classroom. As an example, I will look ahead of time to see who's on that. Do not photo policy.
DTSD Webinars: And there are class like the class pictures associated with those kids, so I
DTSD Webinars: have an idea of what they look like. It doesn't always mean. I know exactly who they are, but their teacher. I will always pull the teacher aside and ask
DTSD Webinars: who's on your do you have photo list? And then on top of that
DTSD Webinars: i'll also just ask the classroom. If everyone's okay with me, taking their pictures and sometimes
DTSD Webinars: kids just aren't feeling it that day, they don't want their picture taken. They don't necessarily have to be on the do not photo policy, but if they ask for not their picture not to be taken, I of course, respect their wishes, and just avoid them. That's totally fine.
DTSD Webinars: If i'm sent pictures by a teacher, I always ask them to confirm that they don't have any of their kids, and I really try and make. An I've been working really hard this year to make
DTSD Webinars: that an important emphasis of that list and make sure everyone is aware of it, and how to navigate it. I also have encouraged teachers to reach out to those parents and just find out
DTSD Webinars: what their concerns are, if it's like no photos at all, or if it's not on social media or but they're okay with it, going on like canvas or seesaw, like an internal classroom thing.
DTSD Webinars: So really trying to create like a back and forth with the parents.
DTSD Webinars: If I'm. Ever using pictures from an event.
DTSD Webinars: I will compare those pictures to the list. Usually i'm within a grade or few grades, so it's not too many kids to go through.
DTSD Webinars: And yeah, I mean, I really
DTSD Webinars: have been trying my best to make sure that i'm following that, do not pull the fault. Sorry following the do not photo policy following my job description at the same time
DTSD Webinars: with the like track and field day. On the week last weekend all the kids were wearing like their name tags. I cross all the names off of the badges like I. I do try my best to
DTSD Webinars: to keep kids privacy. But with that being said, i'm not the only person that posts about our school on on social media. So
DTSD Webinars: we have tons of boosters and tons of clubs, and then we have community partners like our rotary, who post as well. So
DTSD Webinars: I understand, Like your concern.
DTSD Webinars: I just.
DTSD Webinars: I don't know how to necessarily adjust without completely changing my job description or doing it all by myself, because at the end of the day. It's there's so many other people out there that are also doing the same thing, and all I can do is just like.
DTSD Webinars: Follow the policies for all my job description. Be extra careful and really try like you mentioned digital citizenship last time
DTSD Webinars: they are teaching like. Do not give your information out to strangers. Don't. Give out your schedule or your home address, or your cell phone number, or whatever it is.
DTSD Webinars: but I try to follow that by presenting myself, asking if it's okay.
DTSD Webinars: Even sometimes the like him can attest to this. They will be like, Can I see the picture doing all those things just to try and make people feel comfortable. So I hope that answers your questions or hope that addresses your concerns.
DTSD Webinars: of course. Yeah. So this is like a couple. Thank you. That's all awesome.
DTSD Webinars: So are you saying Every time a student is named on the social media, there's another level of consent that goes home to yeah. It's done at the building level. So.
DTSD Webinars: like Mrs. Smith, Miss Schmidt's assistant, Donna Gordon would be sending home like a provision for.
DTSD Webinars: So that's where that happens.
DTSD Webinars: A student
DTSD Webinars: is name. Do you have your parents consent to release their name in conjunction with their photograph and see. Yeah, it's anonymous. I'm: not the one reaching out to the parents. It's the teachers or the building administration. But that's
DTSD Webinars: what's been happening. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so
DTSD Webinars: my concern is
DTSD Webinars: when we make those posts. There is a lot of personal identifying information of kids going out
DTSD Webinars: on the Internet and
DTSD Webinars: recognizing that we don't have control over who accesses that information.
DTSD Webinars: So that's my primary concern is that
DTSD Webinars: do we recognize when we post this about kids like we are giving grandparents equal access to child sex offenders all to the list, Everything about
DTSD Webinars: the students that we're listing like their name, where they go to school, what they're involved, in, what their accomplishments are like.
DTSD Webinars: and
DTSD Webinars: can be concluded from that their schedule, like we are making that public access.
DTSD Webinars: And are we considering that when we're posting that so that's my primary concern
DTSD Webinars: with what we're doing. A secondary concern which you addressed really well, was
DTSD Webinars: the student consent? Is there the element of student consent? So along with that.
DTSD Webinars: Is there a set
DTSD Webinars: period of time where posts are
DTSD Webinars: deleted after a certain period of time, after 3 years, 4 years are they and definitely retrievable.
DTSD Webinars: recognizing that as students become adults, they are entering adulthood with
DTSD Webinars: the pre-established digital brand, that they had no saying that
DTSD Webinars: so like where they can control their social media profile like when they go to become when they go to apply for their first job, they can do whatever they want with what they are the administrators of. But for where they're online and they're not, they don't have control over that. So maybe when they go to apply for a job
DTSD Webinars: like the Belly Top, they thought, was a good idea. When they were 16 they don't really want their potential employer finding when they search them. They Google, them online things like that. So
DTSD Webinars: that would be something I would suggest
DTSD Webinars: to like. Is there
DTSD Webinars: Are we considering our students agency? And this which you said, for now you are, and that is awesome, but also in the future. And then
DTSD Webinars: is there a level?
DTSD Webinars: Are there guidelines for the types or amounts of
DTSD Webinars: student information that we can
DTSD Webinars: put in place to try to govern.
DTSD Webinars: How much about a student we make public on social media. I have a question or a comment. I'm. I'm. Having a hard time making the leap from Sara, taking a picture of somebody receiving on award and having a positive post to that negatively impacting somebody
DTSD Webinars: 10 years down the road. So I want to understand what you're saying, and I I cannot like in my mind that's just like. I don't see it as an issue. So i'd. I'd like for you to explain why it's
DTSD Webinars: so
DTSD Webinars: and i'd also. I mean, I don't think she's taking pictures of kid and belly tops like is, Have you seen that? Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: on our website? Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: the
DTSD Webinars: his homecoming court, every10, that's okay.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah. So
DTSD Webinars: let's say, maybe a student got
DTSD Webinars: early acceptance to a university or something, and sign an acceptance letter, and then, due to personal reasons, chose not to attend that, and
DTSD Webinars: maybe they
DTSD Webinars: apply for your job, and someone re googles them finds that and says, hey, I noticed you in here. Why, didn't you go there? Maybe that's a question they're not prepared to answer just an example of something like we don't know the ramifications, for
DTSD Webinars: reasons why someone wouldn't want something posted, but just out of respect for the fact that
DTSD Webinars: things do happen, and
DTSD Webinars: people may not want certain things posted 5 years from now that now they want.
DTSD Webinars: But this is Kathy Sicker when you're talking about them thinking about.
DTSD Webinars: You know the homeless town son and my children played use sports, and I would just open up the paper and see my son's picture when he was 8, and it said it would say, Ethan Sicker, and it would show his baseball team so you could easily look on her. She little League's website. And to think
DTSD Webinars: I know where Ethan sicker is twice a week.
DTSD Webinars: because there's their practice. There's their game, so i'm not quite sure at the districts doing anything that's not
DTSD Webinars: already being done in society that and they didn't ask for my permission.
DTSD Webinars: and I didn't, I didn't care. I didn't complain. It's fine. I probably laminated it and put it in a book for him.
DTSD Webinars: I mean, so that kind of stuff happens all the time.
DTSD Webinars: I of trying to get to the root of like
DTSD Webinars: understanding what your concern is. But we're also running a public school district with 3,000 kids that receive awards and their pictures get taken, and we can control what we can control. And I certainly have faith in the system that we have set up. I mean, as is, nothing is is really perfect.
DTSD Webinars: But and i'm not arguing with you. I'm just putting these thoughts together out loud. I feel like we could talk ourselves out of recognizing like we could live in this complete world of fear and paranoia
DTSD Webinars: that we don't really recognize our kids. So it's it's what is that balance? And I'm failing to see that we've tipped over into. I mean, you know what girls were to homecoming, and this is a blatant statement. If their parents are letting them walk out of the house with it, then I don't think it's our responsibility to patrol them. And you know, or do we not post about homecoming, cause they're 95,000 other great things that could come from it. As well. So i'm just trying to
DTSD Webinars: make sure that we're not way over stepping into. Well, we're just not going to post anything, I think, to Kathy's Point.
DTSD Webinars: and i'm sh, and I know you know this. You know somebody wants to do something. They will find a way to do it. And I would. You know this? What we do here, is
DTSD Webinars: it? It seems to me like, within the normal parameters of what a public school system would be expected to do.
Okay.
DTSD Webinars: So I I One thing I want to point out is, you know.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, we certainly can't control the media, but as a public school we do have control over what we post, and I think it's just a matter of being
DTSD Webinars: cognizant of
DTSD Webinars: a family's wishes to be private or not, and that's why I think the system, in place where you before I post that
DTSD Webinars: you know you in national merit. We're we're not going to include your picture name, or you know something like that. But
DTSD Webinars: but for the most part, I think probably most things will be okay. But I think there will be times when I think we
DTSD Webinars: you do have to consider. You can't just publish anything you want. And I think
DTSD Webinars: I think you do have guidelines. And
DTSD Webinars: I think we just have to be aware. Yeah, and I know I don't know what the black and white is it? It's not black. I don't know exactly, so I don't have examples to pull up to say, this is what I would not one posted but right, but not anything out there.
DTSD Webinars: I think I are on the side of caution quite often where i'm like. I don't
DTSD Webinars: like the way that this could tell a story. That's not the real story and stuff like that. But I also
DTSD Webinars: want to be.
DTSD Webinars: I don't want to single people out as well. So like if we're gonna use the homecoming court thing as an example. The girls all wore like they all talked ahead of time, and they decided they were gonna wear like wide leg jeans and black crop tops, and I did.
DTSD Webinars: I wasn't a part of that decision I just showed up there with the intention of, like Sarah's coming from social media to take picture of you guys today. And they decided that they were going to coordinate outfits last year. They didn't do that. It it's totally a student thing, and I don't want to be singling out people either, and being like that's too short. That's too short. And then, being like you can't be in my picture. I'm coming back another day like I don't want to
DTSD Webinars: shame people as well. So I
DTSD Webinars: when I say there's a lot of gray there's a lot of gray, and I just try to be like as empathetic as possible to our students, but also, like I. I see every day how much people love
DTSD Webinars: what is being posted. I like minutes before walking into this meeting there was a comment on Facebook that said like, please Post. You know more about our fifth graders that are graduating out of the elementary school like
DTSD Webinars: It's it's a hard balance, and I I don't want to. I care about our kids, and I care about our staff, and I i'm in this job because I want to celebrate them and celebrate public education.
DTSD Webinars: And I don't.
DTSD Webinars: But I don't want to feel like i'm putting them in harm's way either. So that's why this conversation is hard, because I care a lot about what I do, and I don't
DTSD Webinars: to hear that I might be
DTSD Webinars: putting kids in danger is obviously difficult. So I would. for, like the individual student highlights, is there a way to do that
DTSD Webinars: privately, either through like seesaw or canvas or something to have a school-wide distribution of student highlights instead of a public distribution. Those are the ones that I hear about the most when they're not recognized publicly. We get massive amounts of complaints if somebody is missed.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, about that side of it, like we, we take a brutal beating. If it doesn't make it to the sign we don't make it. We get. We get hip for that, too, and I think what i'm hearing from this whole conversation, which I'm, assuming that you would do is that any parent
DTSD Webinars: who is really uncomfortable needs to advocate for their child Contact, Miss Carpel, you know, and that that is really
DTSD Webinars: because to just and again, you know, we are considering an entire student body across every demographic to say we're only going to put their recognition on an internal like
DTSD Webinars: I not like. I would not be comfortable making that decision as a school board member like that. That's not really.
DTSD Webinars: I would default to what she's saying and feel like. Okay, this is why we're doing it. And Dr. Winslow just said, is because this is what that's what they want to put in their resume, and if they're brag books, so we would not make a special, especially not at this level like that's kind of a
DTSD Webinars: slippery slope of just swinging that pendulum so far over that other kids are now not reaping the benefits of what that does for them.
DTSD Webinars: I mean, I think I I can understand as a parent.
DTSD Webinars: you know. I think a lot of people i'm sure they feel the same way you do.
DTSD Webinars: and I think maybe when it comes out in the beginning of the year, or an area on the website, to just remind parents that
DTSD Webinars: you know kids are being posted more often because we want to expose, you know, and but that's not the right word. It's the world we live in, and it's the world these kids live in, you know, like it or not.
DTSD Webinars: But
DTSD Webinars: you know a reminder to parents that if they absolutely do not, you know, want their kids posted at all you know. They need to come forward because this is kind of how it works.
DTSD Webinars: you know. I I think I think they have to take that responsibility on themselves, too.
DTSD Webinars: No, I can't get on the Instagram, but i'm just looking at Facebook, and I admit I don't get on very often, so I Haven't seen most of this, but most of them, most of them are postings that Don't have. I see one that had a a senior's name.
DTSD Webinars: I did not see the interesting enough. I did not see the homecoming, but it's interesting that whenever they decided to wear.
DTSD Webinars: not putting the dress code to sign up, and I don't know if it was. You know where it was, and what context. But that certainly is not dress code. That gives a interesting message to the rest of the school that makes it difficult for teachers to
DTSD Webinars: i'm so uncomfortable. Talking about. My girls are where I am. They don't, and they looked cute, and they decided. But I know i'm just the whole. So do you change Anything Made you change the dress code, the parameters around it. Not be picking apart with these groups. No, but what I'm saying, they make that decision. If you have a dress code and you and a district is posting it, the messages. That is part of the dress code which is an inconsistency. You want to say, okay.
DTSD Webinars: something to think about. Maybe it shouldn't be on the dress coder and whatever but i'm I just I didn't see it, and I just thought of that as you were discussing it. But I don't see a lot of kids names on here. I see. I see faces and not names. I can't get on to Instagram to know.
DTSD Webinars: I think i'm more comfortable just seeing cases and not knowing who they are. Obviously, I don't see a lot of names at all
DTSD Webinars: one here just that one so far in teachers names, but I can't go on the Instagram to know it's the exact same content. I post the same thing on both pages, so there's not names. Yeah, there are very specific examples that are making somebody super uncomfortable. Then we should have they. They should be brought to Dr. Winslow and Sarah outside of here to be discussed. Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: I'm not making it a a general decision for the board. I just think that's the way that it should be handled. If there's something
DTSD Webinars: that you're holding back on because you're not comfortable sharing it here. I could understand that. But I think that if it is a singular issue or a couple of issues. No, the primary things that we're concerning really individuals to that highlights for a student is recognized for
DTSD Webinars: something specific, and
DTSD Webinars: their name, their grade school they go to. What they're involved in is listed in me
DTSD Webinars: in the post, which I thought it was an interesting comment you made. It's all over the Sun.
DTSD Webinars: the sicker from Lower Dolphin, Hershey High School this great, you know. I mean that information is let's say Sarah removed it. It's still out there. It's somewhere.
DTSD Webinars: I'm afraid I don't know what the son is. Oh, i'm sorry it's the local newspaper. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: a lot like If the and also in the patriot news and pen live, and if they were talking about an athlete it would be probably something that was in the almost counts on the local paper, and the patriot, who was like Donna's daughter, is going to play field hockey at Harvard. There was already an article in the local paper. I think even the patriot.
DTSD Webinars: and I don't, you know I don't think it was on our website, but when you get recruited
DTSD Webinars: it would be next year when she signs her letter of intent. She'll go on the district's website, but it was already out there like it's probably on the Max sports for field hockey, too.
DTSD Webinars: with her name.
DTSD Webinars: I think 1 one important differentiating factor, though between newspapers and social media is the retrieve ability like it's there indefinitely unless it's removed.
DTSD Webinars: Well, the sun, is it? It's all arrived in the newspapers, too. You don't find all of it. Yeah, almost sounds digital and print the same thing, and you can search names everything. A patriot news is the same. It's both
DTSD Webinars: you put like the you know, honorable. All of that goes in. It always has.
DTSD Webinars: I mean, yeah, it's. It is a but I think
DTSD Webinars: if there are parents that feel very strongly like you do, I think that
DTSD Webinars: you know they need to come forward. And you know, really discuss that with the teacher, or whoever it is like, because I do know somebody who
DTSD Webinars: they absolutely don't want their kids posted in any fashion at all. So they made that very clear.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, and you can always decline to comment if you don't want to be in in the papers, or something like that, too.
DTSD Webinars: I'm: just curious. Out of all the students we have. How many of those
DTSD Webinars: we have about 10 per building.
DTSD Webinars: so 10 in the High School 10 the middle school. It's pretty easy for you to manage. Yeah, it's manageable. There's more at the younger level than there are at the older level I find that they get taken off as they get older.
DTSD Webinars: Just in my experience. I don't have like
DTSD Webinars: the exact numbers, but
DTSD Webinars: I have more kindergarteners than I do in all of the High School.
DTSD Webinars: for example, on the High School. Just so, you know the High School. Anyone who plays at least in in athletics. They have to find this
DTSD Webinars: as part of the athletics signing off. They also have to say, Are you okay with your parent, Your child being reported in the newspaper, so I could say
DTSD Webinars: I don't want her in the newspaper, and she might score 20 goals, but they'll keep her name out. She most was one of those, but
DTSD Webinars: a very helpful conversation. Okay, so
DTSD Webinars: you're saying like when students are named, there is the actual level of parents are
DTSD Webinars: contacted for that in there extra consent is given for that. And then also
DTSD Webinars: you know it about how much parents are respected, and it
on the
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. This has been very one other thing. I know. We do it for sports. They may do it for all activities, too, when you've to sign the alcohol, and you know you do all those They're like code of conduct sort of found out for the sports. I know there are the questions about you don't have to be in public media if you don't want to. Now how much that gets honored, I I assume it does, because the coach sends in the
DTSD Webinars: the information to be published, and if the coach knows that you know
DTSD Webinars: Natalie sick or can't be mentioned as a good defender, they just won't even put her name in there.
DTSD Webinars: I assume that that's how it works. But the other activities might have something like music and stuff might have that same form. I just don't have any in those areas to know if they do that. I I don't know if they do a second level from music or anything. But I know athletics. You can. When you sign up, you have to fill out that form
DTSD Webinars: and
DTSD Webinars: named in any X in school and out of school publications.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, it gets tricky with some of the at us, like the extracurriculars at the High School level, because we get a lot of coverage about our sports teams specifically.
DTSD Webinars: But i'm glad that that was helpful.
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, thanks. Everyone
DTSD Webinars: go ahead. Left. No, it's fine. Okay, yeah. So was the last thing was just updates. Yeah updates for the new business. Yep, Not a lot. Just you know. We're finishing out our school year. This is the last time we'll meet before the school year ends, which is just
DTSD Webinars: a little over a month away, which is hard to believe. We have a lot of lot of fun things coming up, looking forward to being a part of.
DTSD Webinars: And then, lastly, we have our next Newsletter coming out, which will be on May. First. We're going to highlight our Trojan Buddies Club as our Club of the the
DTSD Webinars: The Newsletter, which is great timing, because last Friday we had our track and field day, which was like one of my favorite days. I've had all year
DTSD Webinars: just it was just really great community. Perfect weather couldn't have asked for more. The other thing i'm going to be highlighting is I've been doing a cocoa principle for each newsletter. This one i'm going to do opportunity, and it's going to be just kind of like a dedication to our high School seniors.
DTSD Webinars: and Mr. Chico, who is our primary principal or assistant principal, Sorry, and Miss Gardner, who is a special education Teacher wrote an article for me on Pvis
DTSD Webinars: in the Elementary School, and how we're doing positive behavior reinforcement. So it's really interesting about just the what they've done this year. They've already done a lot with that Pbis initiative, so that's going to be in there as well.
DTSD Webinars: and that's all I have. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: Well, lot of information. Yeah. So
DTSD Webinars: anything else.
DTSD Webinars: I just have my notes from the last meeting, and
DTSD Webinars: I don't know if it was. I don't know I don't know where to put it. But if we. where can we put things that we discussed
DTSD Webinars: in terms of putting on the shelf to where to go like we had talked about
DTSD Webinars: a community outreach for interns, and not not as your responsibility. I think we talked about it, Lindsey, but something like that which is an idea. And on this sort of agenda item, do we just have you figure out which that is? You see, my update this week.
DTSD Webinars: I did not get a chance to look that when you look at it you'll see that Dr. Schum and I went to the Career Partnership Alliance last Wednesday, which hopefully will lead to a huge database of available community internships across the region. And who's heading? I'll read it. I'll just read it lynn Morris heads that day, but from here it'll it'll be Dr. Schumann, and then we'll we'll be pulling in that one transition. Course I'm gonna say bring it to curriculum. It's what I was gonna say. Okay, excellent. And then we'd also talked about.
DTSD Webinars: and maybe this isn't your thing, too. Student advisors for this or other committees that are appropriate non Hr type committees, and just where to put that. And I think that would be somewhere. That will probably be maybe an exact session item that could be brought up during agenda planning. Okay, so that's in the student. Then you have to change policy for that
DTSD Webinars: for curriculum council. It was part of our curriculum council at our Manual Manual, Most of our other committees, Don't have a like that.
DTSD Webinars: like administrative procedures. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm: not sure.
DTSD Webinars: I do think that, like an in an intern that's working with Sara, it would be very appropriate for them to be a part of this committee, and to to serve in that way.
DTSD Webinars: We did it in curriculum council, and it's part of the manual. But we were very specific on how to get selected so that there is equitable, and it's there's an interview process and stuff, and it's there's a written out procedure for the committee. You, don't just randomly invite people right? Exactly. I I'll look at the policy on student interns to see if it can.
DTSD Webinars: If it says I don't think it limits to what committee can be on, and then we can talk about it in the exact or wherever maybe Policy Committee will, where it's appropriate. This will go into fall through the cracks. I just don't know where it goes, and I don't even know where, if and where it would be the most appropriate. But certainly in general. We've
DTSD Webinars: seeing that where we do have students involved wherever they're involved itself. I think it should be added to board operating guidelines under the committee. One
DTSD Webinars: it should you could, you should consider
DTSD Webinars: taking it to policy and adding it to board operating guidelines under the committee how the committees are structured. That's a good idea that yeah, I wasn't sure to put under there, or even committee could have student advisors right? Exactly.
DTSD Webinars: So if you're you're talking about like a interview and all of that.
DTSD Webinars: But, like Sarah, will pick her intern.
DTSD Webinars: So are you saying that, like
DTSD Webinars: it has to go out to all kinds like to everybody. It it would almost be a pro, I I mean i'm not. It could possibly be something that is standard for all committees, so that there's a an a way to advertise in a selection process. So it's equitable that people get
DTSD Webinars: the ability to apply for it. Yeah, Which would you work for curriculum. It was posted at the High School 20, and there were interviews, and then the chair of the committee was in on the interviews
DTSD Webinars: along with the high school principal and someone else, and then they think they picked 3 or 4. Yeah, and it was like one per great. So it was very organized. I was a senior junior. Yeah, Sophomore, right? So then it's written into this policy manual for curriculum. Not
DTSD Webinars: but not in general. not in the not in other committees. But I don't. I I want to reread the Student intern policy. I mean Student Committee.
DTSD Webinars: whatever we call it student advisor. That policy, as well as the committee policy and see where it would go best. So we'll we'll put it on agenda planning for
DTSD Webinars: I think it's a great idea. I think it would be nice for all the committees to have student advisors. Yeah, okay, They'll love finance.
DTSD Webinars: They don't want financial ideas on him to raise money in the stock market game, and we have some winners there. Not, too. I don't know he's going to the State Treasury. Yeah, 2 of our students are going to state finals for. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. So has fake money.
DTSD Webinars: So i'm done with that. They were the only 2 things I had from my old notes. So thank you. Okay, well
DTSD Webinars: work on that.
DTSD Webinars: All right. Is that it Does anybody else have anything before we see if there's anybody virtually that has a public comment
anywhere, virtually
DTSD Webinars: okay.
DTSD Webinars: All right. So then I will
DTSD Webinars: make a motion, or can I have a motion to adjourn? So moved to Maria, Mammy
DTSD Webinars: second Donna Cronin.
DTSD Webinars: and I guess we are adjourned. Thank you. Everybody.
