The minutes from our June 23rd meeting. 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.000 Niomi James: And actually. 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.000 Niomi James: So at this meeting we determined that. 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.000 Niomi James: The 2 major focus areas for our growth team this year would be attendance and behavior. 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:54.000 Niomi James: And we discuss proposed strategies that we would like to collaborate on. 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.000 Niomi James: Around those 2 priority areas. 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.000 Niomi James: And let me just say, because we are a partner school. 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.000 Niomi James: Some of the things that go teams. 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:09.000 Niomi James: Focus on um for Aps don't necessarily apply to us. For example, our budget process is different. 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.000 Niomi James: Tonight. Most aps. 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.000 Niomi James: All Aps go teams were discussing, leveling. 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.000 Niomi James: And are formally used for that. That doesn't apply to us. 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:24.000 Niomi James: And so we wanted to make sure we are still maximizing our time, even though every topic. 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:31.000 Niomi James: May not apply because we're a partner school. And so these are the 2 focus areas that we'll track consistently. 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.000 Niomi James: From month to month for our school. 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.000 Niomi James: And I will um, email these to you. 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.000 Niomi James: As well, and they're also available in the Go team. Archive. 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.000 Niomi James: So could I have a motion, please to. 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.000 Niomi James: Um approve the minutes from the June. 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.000 Niomi James: Um, 25 go team meeting. 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.000 Justin Squires: In motion. 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.000 Niomi James: Yes, thank you.

What we've tried to do now is select 3 to 4 times a year. 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:13.000 Carolyn Barnett - Atlanta Chapter: So that cluster members can not only meet with each other, but also hear from district staff about things that. 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.000 Carolyn Barnett - Atlanta Chapter: Principal, maybe of concern to principals and the community. 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:23.000 Carolyn Barnett - Atlanta Chapter: And so we will provide that information.

We didn't make it um. 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.000 Niomi James: With all of our offices. Field. So I'm so excited. 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.000 Niomi James: Um about the makeup of this go team, and I just appreciate everyone for stepping up. 00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.000 Niomi James: And taking these leadership roles. 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:51.000 Niomi James: Alright.

Protocol. 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.000 Niomi James: So as our um, the go team. 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.000 Niomi James: Um. We will meet monthly um, and we'll talk about setting the time and date. 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:18.000 Niomi James: For that. But a part of that 4 of our meetings must allow for a public comment. 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.000 Niomi James: And we use a public comment protocol for that. 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.000 Niomi James: And so on. The requirements. 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.000 Niomi James: We have to notify the public in advance, which meetings are open to public comment. 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:36.000 Niomi James: Um goal. Team members are not to respond or engage in direct conversation is, listen only. 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.000 Niomi James: Um, we will view our public comment protocol on the next slide. 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:48.000 Niomi James: And then we have to allot at least 20 min of time for public comment in my experience. Um. 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.000 Niomi James: I don't think we had any public comment. We did have people. 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:56.000 Niomi James: Um join the con. Um, the go team meetings just to observe. 00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:01.000 Niomi James: Um, you know, but we didn't have any public comment last year. 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.000 Niomi James: So hopefully. That will change because we definitely want people to be more engaged. 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.000 Niomi James: So this is our public comment protocol from last year. 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.000 Niomi James: So I'll give everyone um a minute or so to just review. 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.000 Niomi James: Those 4 those 4 bullets. 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.000 Niomi James: And then, if we are all in agreement, we will um. 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.000 Niomi James: Put it on the forefront boat. 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.000 Niomi James: Alright, so. 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:51.000 Niomi James: Everyone is a voting member at this point, so anyone can make a motion or second a motion. 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:57.000 Niomi James: So may I have a motion?

Everybody. 00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.000 Niomi James: We will now move to the discussion items of our agenda. 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.000 Niomi James: And so we're gonna do a um. 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:06.000 Niomi James: Brainstorming, exercise. 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:10.000 Niomi James: To capture from the team some initial ways. 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:13.000 Niomi James: That we can engage our stakeholders in. 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:20.000 Niomi James: The work of the go team, and we started some of this discussion in the summer. But again we have um. 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:23.000 Niomi James: Pretty much all new team members. So I'm very interested to. 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.000 Niomi James: Hear what the gold team has to share. 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:28.000 Niomi James: So we are looking at 4 groups. 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:31.000 Niomi James: Families, students, staff and the community. 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:35.000 Niomi James: For each group will and will ask and answer 3 questions. 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.000 Niomi James: So how do we inform. 00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.000 Niomi James: This group was a fun or unexpected way to keep them in the loop. 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:48.000 Niomi James: How do we gain input from each group? What's a meaningful way to get their ideas or feedback. 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:52.000 Niomi James: And then how do we invite each of these groups. 00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.000 Niomi James: Into the work. And so they're not just a part of the audience. 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.000 Niomi James: But they're active. Um participants. 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.000 Niomi James: In our work. 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.000 Niomi James: So I'm gonna capture these. 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.000 Niomi James: And. 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.000 Niomi James: I think the best way to do this is we'll just go. 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.000 Niomi James: Um straight down. So if we look at families. 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.000 Niomi James: First, st if we could just get at least one idea. 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.000 Niomi James: For each group. So what would be. 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.000 Niomi James: Um a fun, unexpected way to keep our families in the loop. 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:31.000 Justin Squires: Just to clarify. That's in the loop of what the Go team is working on right. 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:33.000 Niomi James: Yes, sir, yes, thank you. Mrs. Squires. 00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:33.000 Justin Squires: Okay. 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.000 Niomi James: And Dr. Collins. Could you help me monitor the chat. 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.000 Niomi James: Please. Oh, that's a good one. 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.000 Emani Collins: Oh, absolutely! 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:49.000 Emani Collins: So Mr. Harmon said, tick tocks video skits. So social media usage. 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.000 Niomi James: I got me. 00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:01.000 Niomi James: And maybe we should go across because some of these may um. 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.000 Niomi James: Actually apply to more than one group. 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.000 Niomi James: I think this one definitely could apply to. 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.000 Niomi James: All the groups. 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:16.000 Niomi James: Any other fun, unexpected ways to keep. 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.000 Niomi James: Our groups and form, and this could be for any of the groups. 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:26.000 Niomi James: Nothing. This applies to all. 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.000 Niomi James: Okay, so. 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:39.000 Niomi James: Um. I'm switching up a little bit. I thought it'd be better to go straight down, but it seems like it might be. 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.000 Niomi James: Um better to go across, so we can talk about. 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.000 Niomi James: Input across all the groups. 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:52.000 Niomi James: So for our family, students, staff, and community. What would be some meaningful ways to gather their ideas or feedback. 00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:00.000 Niomi James: And I'm gonna put for families. Um. 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:02.000 Niomi James: Having our um chat. 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.000 Niomi James: And choose with our families. 00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:12.000 Justin Squires: Honestly, maybe um. 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.000 Justin Squires: In line with the Tiktoks and video skits. 00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.000 Justin Squires: You'd have them record like. 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.000 Justin Squires: Themselves providing feedback. If that's. 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.000 Niomi James: Yes. 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.000 Justin Squires: That would be easy for folks. 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:31.000 Niomi James: Do you think that applies? Would that apply to all groups? Is that a strategy for all groups. 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.000 Justin Squires: Be like it. At least families. 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.000 Justin Squires: I feel like, yeah, I feel like he could be anybody cause definitely like families and students. 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.000 Justin Squires: Um, I feel like most of our families are. 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:47.000 Justin Squires: Young. We have some young enough people in the families to where they can. 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.000 Justin Squires: Do that. And staff. I think they can do that too. So. 00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:50.000 Niomi James: Yeah. 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:58.000 Emani Collins: Yeah. I think also with the students, maybe utilizing our time with them during our acceleration block. 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.000 Niomi James: That's good. 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:03.000 Emani Collins: Maybe that could be a topic one week where they focus on. 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.000 Emani Collins: You know, some type of feedback they would like to give. 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.000 Niomi James: For our um community members, our acceleration block. 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:20.000 Niomi James: Um is a time we use for academic support. We also use Mondays for sel. 00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:25.000 Niomi James: And so every student is assigned to. It's almost like advisement. 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:32.000 Niomi James: Um during the day. So we have an extra hour in our day where all students go to acceleration. 00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.000 Niomi James: That's a great suggestion. 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:39.000 Niomi James: Alright any other ways that we could engage. 00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:41.000 Niomi James: Any of these groups. 00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:43.000 Niomi James: With the work of the God theme. 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:57.000 Niomi James: Alright. So what are some thoughts about how we can engage each each of these groups to be active. 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:02.000 Niomi James: Participants in the work of the goat theme, and not. 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.000 Niomi James: Just a part of the audience. 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:12.000 Justin Squires: Um. I know Sanaya put polls in the chat, for I think it was the previous question with the meaningful. 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.000 Justin Squires: Ways to gather ideas and feedback. I feel like that could be. 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:18.000 Justin Squires: That could be a good way. 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.000 Justin Squires: Also for the. 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:23.000 Justin Squires: Getting them to be active and not just audience members like. 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.000 Justin Squires: Um polls. I feel like that could be probably across the board. 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.000 Niomi James: Mhm. 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:33.000 Niomi James: Thank you. Thank you. Sanaya. 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:45.000 Chyvaun Slack: We're human. And of course it's a give and take type of situation. So I thought about incentives like, sometimes people don't like to do anything unless they're rewarded. So. 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:50.000 Chyvaun Slack: Some type of incentive doesn't have to be monetary, but some type of. 00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:54.000 Chyvaun Slack: Reward for them, putting in the work. 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.000 Niomi James: I love that. 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.000 Tekesia Shields: Um. I wanted to go back to families because we have. 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:06.000 Tekesia Shields: And community. We have a lot of parents, you know, that want to go back to school, and I think that would be like with the attendance. 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:22.000 Tekesia Shields: Like. If if you don't go to school, why should I go so? Family engagements we've been had. We're going to have them start having them at Atlanta Metropolitan State College, um. And they're offering to give full scholarship to students and their. 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.000 Niomi James: Mhm. 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.000 Niomi James: Mhm. 00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.000 Tekesia Shields: You know, loved one um. 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:33.000 Tekesia Shields: Whether it's their caregiver, or whomever to give them both scholarships if they want to. So maybe further their education to have support. Family engagement supports. 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:35.000 Tekesia Shields: Um together, so. 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:38.000 Tekesia Shields: That's an incentive. That's an incentive. 00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:37.000 Niomi James: That's okay. 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.000 Niomi James: Yes, ma'am. 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.000 Tekesia Shields: Because that's a 4 ride scholarship like you, said. 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.000 Niomi James: I want to learn more about that. Miss Tk, we're going to talk about that. 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.000 Tekesia Shields: Okay. 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.000 Niomi James: That's excellent. 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:58.000 Chyvaun Slack: Also I know that we're tied closely to the Y.M.C.A. So maybe something like a paid membership or something like that. I know that that's probably still monetary, but. 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:49.000 Niomi James: That would be good. 00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:03.000 Chyvaun Slack: Tying something like the Y.M.C.A. In with this, I think. 00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.000 Chyvaun Slack: Because that would be a good idea. 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.000 Niomi James: Yes, I love that. And we really. 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:11.000 Niomi James: Should do more with the why. So I think that's a great. 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:13.000 Niomi James: Suggestion, Miss slack. 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.000 Niomi James: Agreed. 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:29.000 Tekesia Shields: Um, and I would also go back to um wellness. And so we have the Dunbar. 00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.000 Tekesia Shields: Center for Black Women's Wellness. 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:34.000 Tekesia Shields: And we have. They have um! 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.000 Tekesia Shields: Annual Safety Net Clinics. 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.000 Tekesia Shields: Um where they can go get their blood pressure so we can give vouchers. 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.000 Tekesia Shields: Um, and I can check in with them. 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:46.000 Tekesia Shields: You know where they can get a full annual, because some families may not have insurance. 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:52.000 Tekesia Shields: But if they're involved they may be able to go get them a full mammogram or annual visit. 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:56.000 Tekesia Shields: Something that they feel like they can't do, because it's stressful. Sometimes. 00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:59.000 Tekesia Shields: In school, so we can try to eliminate some of those stressors. 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:01.000 Tekesia Shields: With wellness, screenings. 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:06.000 Niomi James: That that's I'm so excited y'all just don't know. 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:10.000 Niomi James: We already way way way down the road. This is awesome. 00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.000 Niomi James: I love it. 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.000 Niomi James: Great ideas, any other suggestions. 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.000 Niomi James: This is a really good start, and so um. 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:31.000 Tekesia Shields: One more. One more suggestion. Let's let's include the dads, because we we say a lot of dads. 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.000 Niomi James: Go ahead, misty Guy. 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:39.000 Tekesia Shields: So I don't know if it's a dad movie night or something for the to honor the fathers. 00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:45.000 Tekesia Shields: That actually comes up. So if it's a wellness for the um, the dads, or if it's they play a game. 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.000 Niomi James: Yeah. 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.000 Tekesia Shields: You know. Go team game with the fathers. 00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.000 Niomi James: Mhm. 00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:55.000 Tekesia Shields: You know. Let's highlight. You know what the men are doing. You know that you all have that male support. 00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:57.000 Tekesia Shields: Um there! So something like that. 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:01.000 Niomi James: And we have some awesome engaged dads. I love that misty, gay. 00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:04.000 Niomi James: So important. 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:13.000 Niomi James: Okay, any other suggestions. These are really, really great. 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:18.000 Niomi James: And I see something coming through the chat. 00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.000 Niomi James: Okay, thank you. Everybody. 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: Mister. 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:25.000 Niomi James: Yes. Dr. Cw, go ahead. 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:31.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: I'm just thinking about a vehicle that we already have, that we could utilize if we had to use parenting and purpose. 00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:36.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: Um just to engage additional stakeholders, so they will know what's going on. 00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: Esteem, and also, you know, give their feedback and um. 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:42.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: Just bring them up to speed. That may be a. 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.000 Chasha Colbert-Williams: Um opportunity for us to have a rich appearance as well. 00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.000 Niomi James: Yes. 00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:53.000 Niomi James: Think that's great. 00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.000 Niomi James: Because we could have our own breakout session. 00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:04.000 Niomi James: Just for our carve's team. Um! 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.000 Niomi James: Go team. That'd be awesome. Thank you. Data. Cw. 00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:13.000 Niomi James: Okay. 00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:19.000 Niomi James: Thank you, everyone for your input this. These are really great ideas and definitely looking forward to. 00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:25.000 Niomi James: Um narrowing these down and seeing where we want to start with engaging our stakeholders. 00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.000 Niomi James: Okay. So we're gonna go on to our. 00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.000 Niomi James: Um information items. 00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:34.000 Niomi James: So the 1st information item. 00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.000 Niomi James: Is um. Our. 00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.000 Niomi James: Personal Electronic Device, policy. 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:45.000 Niomi James: And so you'll see here the the sign for a disruption, free learning, environment. 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:51.000 Niomi James: Our language has been slightly different. We've been talking about distraction, free learning environments. 00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:54.000 Niomi James: And so I will. Just if you go on our website. 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:58.000 Niomi James: We have our policies posted here. 00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:02.000 Niomi James: So I'm just gonna show everyone. 00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:05.000 Niomi James: Where they are, and then briefly share with you. 00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:13.000 Niomi James: So this year. Um, just like last year. We are no cell phones in the classroom, but we have really made. 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:15.000 Niomi James: A Schoolwide Effort. 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.000 Niomi James: Regarding no cell phones. 00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:21.000 Niomi James: In the classroom, and so cell phones are collected. 00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:26.000 Niomi James: At the beginning of each class students know they are expected to put their cell phones. 00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:31.000 Niomi James: In the gray um basket. Every teacher has one. They collect them at the door. 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:36.000 Niomi James: We have not had any issues, because most teachers were already doing this last year. 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:42.000 Niomi James: Um, but we are definitely enforcing it. School wide. And again we've had. 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:46.000 Niomi James: Really no issues at all in terms of collecting phones. 00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.000 Niomi James: Um. We have also added. 00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:51.000 Niomi James: No earbuds or headphones. 00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:54.000 Niomi James: Allow in the classroom, for obvious reasons. 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.000 Niomi James: And so this takes a little bit more. 00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:01.000 Niomi James: Patience with our scholars. But again, we have not had any major issues. 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:04.000 Niomi James: They are also not allowed to have the headphones on earbuds. 00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:08.000 Niomi James: On in the hallway, and that's for safety reasons. 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:10.000 Niomi James: Um if you've been around teenagers. 00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.000 Niomi James: When they, when they have the. 00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.000 Niomi James: Headphones on the earbuds. They can't hear you. 00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:19.000 Niomi James: And so it's it's safe. It's a safety concern for us. 00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:22.000 Niomi James: And so our students have been easily redirected. 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.000 Niomi James: On all of these. 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.000 Niomi James: Policies in terms of electronic devices. 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:32.000 Niomi James: And again, you know, we have not had really any major issues with this. 00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:36.000 Niomi James: Um! They're still building that muscle around the headphones and the earbuds. 00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:42.000 Niomi James: Um. But we're doing really really good in terms of implement implementing this. 00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:48.000 Niomi James: Policy. If you would like a detailed overview of the policy and why it's in place again. 00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:51.000 Niomi James: It is on our website for all of our. 00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:56.000 Niomi James: Stakeholders to kind of read through some faqs. Here. 00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:58.000 Niomi James: In terms of our policy. 00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:02.000 Niomi James: Any questions or comments. 00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:05.000 Justin Squires: Um. I did want to say um. 00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:09.000 Justin Squires: 1 1, you know. 00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:15.000 Justin Squires: I don't know how, Major. The issue is, but one issue we've been seeing somewhat is. 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:18.000 Justin Squires: Kids with the burner phones. 00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:25.000 Justin Squires: Um, you know, some kids will bring in another phone. They'll bring in 2 phones and then turn one into the basket, and then they'll have. 00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:20.000 Niomi James: Oh, okay. Mhm. 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:27.000 Justin Squires: Um, a second phone. 00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:29.000 Justin Squires: And I don't really know. 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:35.000 Justin Squires: I mean, you could just ask them to turn in both phones if they have 2 phones. 00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:37.000 Justin Squires: Um. Hopefully they do it. 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:45.000 Justin Squires: Um. I don't really know exactly what a solution is like right now to a situation like that, other than just asking them to turn in both phones. 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:48.000 Justin Squires: But that is, that is. 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:51.000 Justin Squires: A concern. That is something that I've seen. 00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:53.000 Justin Squires: So far. 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:56.000 Niomi James: I'm glad you brought that up, Mrs. Quires, because yes, they are. 00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:02.000 Niomi James: You know, they're teenagers. So they're gonna try to push the line. I would just say we need to reemphasize for everyone. 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:08.000 Niomi James: If that happens, we just treat it like the, you know, we'll follow the policy. And so. 00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:12.000 Niomi James: Definitely let us know, because it tends to be the same students. So. 00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.000 Niomi James: Um, and just for. 00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:19.000 Niomi James: Um a point of information for the go team. If a student refuses to give up their phone. 00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:24.000 Niomi James: We do have cell phone lockers. All the grade level administrators have cell phone lockers. 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.000 Niomi James: And so right now we don't collect cell phones. Some schools are doing that. 00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:31.000 Niomi James: You know they have them put them in a pouch or. 00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:35.000 Niomi James: You know they have different systems in place. We've decided not to do that. 00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:41.000 Niomi James: Um. But if a student is having a hard time following the policy, there are escalating consequences. 00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:47.000 Niomi James: One of those being that if they continue to violate the policy after we talk with the parent. 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:56.000 Niomi James: And put some things in place. Then they have to turn in their cell phone to their grade level administrator. It goes into a locked cell phone locker just like the skating ring back in the day. 00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:58.000 Niomi James: Each cell phone has its own key. 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:02.000 Niomi James: Um, so it's secured throughout the day, and they get it back at the end of the day, and so. 00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:07.000 Niomi James: Um. I would probably say, Mr. Squires, we just need to reemphasize that. 00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:11.000 Niomi James: That if we have students that are doing that and trying to get around the policy. 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:16.000 Niomi James: They, they're ready for the next step of accountability. So thank you for um raising that. 00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:18.000 Niomi James: I appreciate that. 00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.000 Niomi James: Any other thoughts or questions about our. 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:26.000 Niomi James: Electronic Device policy. 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.000 Niomi James: All right. We are going to go on to our next update. 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.000 Niomi James: And I'm sure everyone has heard about. 00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:41.000 Niomi James: The comprehensive long range facilities, plan. 00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:46.000 Niomi James: Just, you know, want to make sure, especially as a partner school. 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.000 Niomi James: That we are giving. 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:51.000 Niomi James: Factual and accurate information. 00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:56.000 Niomi James: Um, this presentation will be available, so you can see the. 00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:00.000 Niomi James: Presentations for the Task Force meetings. 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:03.000 Niomi James: And you know, if you're new to this topic. 00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:06.000 Niomi James: Um Aps is looking at. 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:11.000 Niomi James: How well the district is utilizing space in school be. 00:59:11.000 --> 00:59:17.000 Niomi James: School buildings based on enrollment. And so just looking at which schools are over enrolled. 00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:19.000 Niomi James: Which schools are under enrolled. 00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:21.000 Niomi James: Um, I will say, for. 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:24.000 Niomi James: Partner schools were purpose built. 00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:27.000 Niomi James: This plan does not have an immediate impact on us. 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:29.000 Niomi James: Um, and so. 00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:33.000 Niomi James: We got an email from our CEO, Mike Davis. 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.000 Niomi James: Today. I believe it was today. 00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.000 Niomi James: Um, you know, just stating the fact that. 00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:41.000 Niomi James: As a partner school. We fully intend. 00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:44.000 Niomi James: To complete our contract. 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:50.000 Niomi James: Through 2030. Um, so that's 5 more years. And right now, purpose built schools are not. 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:54.000 Niomi James: Um! Immediately impacted by. 00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:59.000 Niomi James: The long range facilities plan. There may be some rezoning, but in terms of school closures. 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:03.000 Niomi James: Um combining schools, things of that nature. 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.000 Niomi James: That will not impact purpose-built schools at this time. If that changes. 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:11.000 Niomi James: Then we will definitely be sure to update the goal team. 01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.000 Niomi James: But again, if you would like more information on that. 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:20.000 Niomi James: Um. The presentations are linked here when we share the presentation. 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:26.000 Niomi James: From this tonight's meeting, and then there are also some upcoming public meetings that anyone is welcome to attend. 01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:29.000 Niomi James: And so the next meeting will be on October 20.th 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.000 Niomi James: And um. It will be virtual. 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:37.000 Niomi James: At noon, and at 6 Pm. At the Cll. Which is downtown. 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:44.000 Niomi James: Does anybody have any questions about the long range facilities, plan. 01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:54.000 Niomi James: Okay, um, we're gonna move on to announcements. 01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:00.000 Tekesia Shields: Will we get that like in an email with the dates so that we could um say that we will be in attendance. 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:05.000 Niomi James: Yes, ma'am, I'll be. We'll be sure to email this presentation out to everyone. 01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:03.000 Tekesia Shields: Okay. Thank you. 01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:12.000 Niomi James: And announcements. I do want to go back to the leveling. 01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:15.000 Niomi James: So, even though um. 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:22.000 Niomi James: We don't have a formula for leveling like the Aps schools. I do want to just mention, since we're talking about the facilities plan. 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:25.000 Niomi James: As well as the enrollment. 01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:29.000 Niomi James: We have grown our enrollment for the 3rd year in a row. 01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:32.000 Niomi James: Um, currently, we are at. 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:36.000 Niomi James: 5, 67. Um is the last number I saw. 01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:40.000 Niomi James: We have a hundred 59th graders. 01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:45.000 Niomi James: Um just spoke with Mr. Stanley about that today, which was, and Dr. Cw can correct me if I'm wrong, because. 01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:48.000 Niomi James: I'm going off of a memory right now. 01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:51.000 Niomi James: But I just wanna share that. 01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:54.000 Niomi James: Um. We have worked really hard. 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.000 Niomi James: To make sure the public. 01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:01.000 Niomi James: And our community are aware of the just, amazing, wonderful opportunities. 01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:03.000 Niomi James: Available at Carver's theme. 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:06.000 Niomi James: And all of the resources that we provide. 01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:09.000 Niomi James: Our scholars and our families, I mean. 01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:15.000 Niomi James: Just amazing things, opportunities that they're not going to get literally anywhere else in the city. 01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:20.000 Niomi James: And so, for example, we had over 200 scholars and pay internships this summer. 01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:25.000 Niomi James: Um. You know those are just tremendous opportunities available to our scholars. 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:30.000 Niomi James: That we can offer a car steam, and so the message is starting to get out. 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:33.000 Niomi James: Um, and we are very happy to say that our enrollment has. 01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:39.000 Niomi James: Grown for the 3rd year in a row. So I just wanted to provide that update that doesn't necessarily impact our. 01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:45.000 Niomi James: Funding like it would in a traditional Aps school. But it's still something that I think we should celebrate. 01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:51.000 Niomi James: In terms of more families choosing Carver steam, also choosing purpose-built. 01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:56.000 Niomi James: Okay. So I'm gonna go back to. 01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:02.000 Niomi James: Announcements. So um! There is a go team summit. 01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:08.000 Niomi James: And this will be on Saturday, September 27.th Anyone is. 01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:10.000 Niomi James: Invited to attend. 01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:14.000 Niomi James: And we'll be looking at. 01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:18.000 Niomi James: Um. Again, strategic planning is slightly different for purpose, built because we are a. 01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.000 Niomi James: Partner, school and purpose. Bill is rolling out. 01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.000 Niomi James: Um. The new strategic plan. 01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:29.000 Niomi James: But this opportunity is available for any member of the Go team. 01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:39.000 Niomi James: Alright. And finally, most importantly, we all need to complete our go team training. 01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:47.000 Niomi James: So if you would just check your email and please give me a call because there is a particular platform. So if you need. 01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:50.000 Niomi James: Um help with that platform. 01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:56.000 Niomi James: Um definitely can provide assistance there. And so we'll send in the follow-up email to this meeting. 01:03:56.000 --> 01:04:02.000 Niomi James: We will share the the details for completing um the required training, and so. 01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:07.000 Niomi James: We're asking everyone to try to get that done as soon as possible. Um, I would definitely say. 01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:10.000 Niomi James: Prior to the next meeting. Um! 01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:12.000 Niomi James: And it's an online platform. 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:14.000 Niomi James: You know you go at your own pace. 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.000 Niomi James: We want to remind everyone to get that done. 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:29.000 Niomi James: Any questions about the required trainings, and for those members that are newly elected tonight you'll be receiving that information, because now you are official. 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:37.000 Niomi James: All right. If there are no other questions that is going to. 01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:41.000 Niomi James: Complete our meeting. Thank you for bearing with us like I said we had a lot of business. 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:46.000 Niomi James: Take care of at this organizational meeting, and our business meetings will flow. 01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:48.000 Niomi James: Um. 01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:52.000 Niomi James: Efficiently. I think we did. We did good tonight, too. Y'all I really do. 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:56.000 Niomi James: So at this time I'm going to ask someone to please. 01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.000 Niomi James: I'll make a motion to adjourn the meeting at. 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.000 Niomi James: 5, 31 Pm. 01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:07.000 Emani Collins: Oh! 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:09.000 Niomi James: All right. Could I have a second. 01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:10.000 Tekesia Shields: Second. 01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:16.000 Niomi James: All right, all in favor, please say yay, or Aye. 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:18.000 Tekesia Shields: Yay! 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:18.000 Chyvaun Slack: Yay! 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:20.000 Emani Collins: Okay. 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.000 Niomi James: 1st go see meeting.
