It's
just
a
workshop:
oh
it's
just
a
workshop.
Okay
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
also
part
of
the
budget,
Workshop
excellent.
So
tonight
we
are
going
to
present
on
graduation
rates.
We're
also
going
to
speak
about
the
nine
period
day
and
we
are
going
to
share
with
you
all
the
great
things
that
are
happening
at
the
high
school,
with
dual
enrollment
and
advanced
placements
and
college
credits
that
our
students
are
taking.
Okay,.
J
And
for
the
community
at
home
watching
our
chat
room
is
open,
so
please
feel
free
to
submit
your
questions
and
we'll
answer
them
as
best
we
can
this
evening.
If
not
one
of
us
will
get
back
to
you
or
you
can
contact
the
district
clerk
at
K
hoe
at
bufsd.org,
and
she
will
make
sure
that
those
questions
are
answered.
K
We
are
going
to
start
here
with
the
2021-2022
enrollment
data
that
we
have
so
far.
We
continue
to
be
a
district
that
has
87
percent
of
Hispanic
and
Latinos,
as
you
can
see
black
or
African-American,
eight
percent
Asian
native
Hawaiian
or
Pacific
Islanders,
two
percent,
and
why
three
percent
the
closing
enrollment
for
June
of
28
2002
was
18
373
students
out
of
those
students.
We
have
8
978
females
and
9
395
males
foreign
level
enrollment
trajectory.
K
We
are
going
to
focus
on
the
Freshman
Center
and
the
high
school,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
are
affecting
our
graduation
rate
of
have
an
impact
on
the
graduation
rate.
As
you
can
see
the
Freshman
Center,
we
maintain
almost
the
same
number
from
last
year
to
this
year,
having
1
303
students
and
so
far
today
we
have
1
308.
K
K
Let
me
explain
a
little
bit
here,
so
we
have
4
670
students
that
are
doing
Day
School
only
in
Day
School,
and
then
we
have
44
students
that
are
only
enrolled
in
evening
High
School.
We
also
have
459
students
who
are
part
of
that
number.
The
4670
that
are
available
in
Eastern
High,
School
and
they're,
also
enrolled
at
during
day
school,
with
a
total
of
ten
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixteen
students
at
the
secondary
level.
K
Once
again,
I
have
the
chart
here
that
it
shows
the
enrollment
numbers
and,
as
you
can
see
this
year
last
year
we
had
a
177
new
teachers
at
the
high
school,
no
new
teachers
teachers.
This
year
we
have
214,
we
have
64
bilingual
and
enl
teachers.
Also,
we
went
up
by
I
believe
it
was
three
teachers
and
right
now
we
have
37
special
education
teachers.
We
hired
three
new
teachers
last
year.
K
We
have
to
do
this
because
we
had
the
ninth
period
day
and
I'm
very
happy
to
say
that
we
are
glad
that
we
have
the
nine
period
day
because
of
the
increased
enrollment.
We
were
not
going
to
be
able
to
service
our
students
to
the
increase
that
we
had.
If
we
didn't
have
the
nine
period
today,
okay-
and
then
you
have
you
know,
we
have
two
building
principles,
one
student
day
school
and
then
the
high
school.
K
We
also
have
assistant
principles
five
and
during
the
day
and
one
during
the
meeting
high
school
department
heads,
we
went
from
six
to
one
and
we
have
the
sixteens
and
the
guidance
counselors.
Also
we
are
up
to
20
three
of
them.
We
increased
by
three
on
last
year,
and
now
we
have
a
psychologists
and
social
workers.
K
K
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
total
of
886
students
in
a
bilingual
class
in
bilingual
classrooms
right
now,
411
in
enl,
but
out
of
this
number
that
this
is
adds
to
1291
I,
believe
students.
We
have
a
total
of
357
side
students
by
definition,
Cypher
students
with
interrupted
formal
education
or
limited
education.
K
When
we
have
students
that
are
side,
students
that
are
coming
to
the
high
school
for
the
most
part
they
enter
in
grade
nine,
oh,
they
can
be
in
grade
10
as
well.
However,
these
are
students
that
are
coming
from
mainly
Latin
America.
These
students
have
at
least
two
years
behind
in
terms
of
their
in
their
education,
so
they're
below
literacy,
at
least
two
years.
That's
two
or
more
years.
We
have
students
that
commit
in
grade
nine
they're
supposed
to
graduate
in
four
years,
but
they
don't
speak
English.
K
Many
of
them
have
never
been
to
school
and
they
don't
know
how
to
read
on.
They
don't
know
how
to
write
either.
Many
of
them
have
perhaps
an
education
of
sixth
grade,
but
they
are
supposed
to
be
in
10th
Grade
and
there
are
18
19
years
old
and
even
20
years
old
and
they
haven't
been
in
school.
We
have
been
able
to
exit
many
of
the
side,
students
exit
them
within
the
program.
K
It
doesn't
mean
that
they're
exit
the
site
status
on
what
we
mean
by
that
is
because
when
they
come
here
and
they
cannot
read
or
write,
we
place
them
in
a
particular
program
that
was
approved
by
the
state.
We
are
left
side
from
the
state
and
we
teach
them
how
to
read
and
write.
That's
what
we're
doing
with
our
students
and,
as
you
can
see
here
in
grade
nine
you'll,
see
the
number
here.
K
Although
we
have
127
students
in
grade
nine,
that
are
five
students,
60
are
in
program
and
they
are
low
literacy
level,
students
that
are
learning
how
to
read
and
write
and
they're.
In
grade
nine
you'll
see
the
same
thing
in
grade
10.
We
have
119
students
are
in
the
psych
program.
19
of
those
are
consider
low
literacy
level
with
a
total
of
80
students
that
are
right
now
in
a
sci.
E
K
The
cohort
is
adjusted
by
adding
any
students
who
transfer
into
the
cohort
later
during
the
next
three
years
and
subtracting
any
students
who
transfer
out
or
immigrate
to
another
country
during
the
same
period,
then
the
coher
graduation
rate
is
calculated
by
taking
the
number
of
students
in
the
adjusted
cohort
who
graduated
with
a
regular
diploma
within
four
years
and
dividing
that
by
the
total
number
of
students
in
the
cohort.
Okay.
So
now
let's
do-
and
this
is
your
example.
This
is
not
our
school
yet.
K
So,
let's
pretend,
okay,
that
we
have,
for
example,
2
000
graduates,
so
we
had
a
class
two.
We
had
2
000
students
that
graduated
that's
the
first
step
that
you're
going
to
take
a
look
at.
So
we
are
going
to
determine
the
students
then,
who
enter
the
school
as
a
freshman,
then
we
are
going
to
add
the
students
who
transfer
to
the
school,
so
any
new
students
were
going
to
add
them.
K
Then
we're
going
to
subtract
the
students
who
transfer
out
of
that
school
so,
for
example,
The
Freshman
Class,
which
is
graduating,
which
is
graduating,
started
with
2050
students,
so
the
class.
During
grade
nine,
we
started
with
2050
students
that
I
have
right
here
then
out
of
these
students,
we
have
one.
We
have
11
students
that
are
new
they're
transferring
they
came
into
the
district.
Then
we
have
12
that
left
the
district.
K
So
we
have
2
000
students
right
because
they're
the
ones
that
I
graduated
and
we're
going
to
divide
that,
but
by
the
number
of
students
who
actually
stay
here
within
that
graduating
class,
and
that
was
2049..
That
gives
me
a
graduating
rate
of
97.6.
So
that's
what
the
state
does.
That
is
how
this
is
calculated.
K
It
seems
simple,
but
it's
not
really
that
simple,
because
there's
there
are
codes
that
are
assigned
to
the
students
that
leave
the
country
and
many
of
those
codes
when
we
don't
know
where
the
students
are
going,
it
affects
our
graduating
rate
and
I
will
explain
it
now.
So
now,
let's
take
a
look
at
our
numbers
here.
K
So
this
is,
the
projected
number
of
students
are
are
graduate
that
graduated
in
June
and
August
and
I'm
giving
you
a
comparison.
These
are
numbers
were
reported
to
the
state.
We
don't
have
this
the
school
report
card
out
yet
so
these
are
projected
numbers,
and
this
is
what
we
are
expecting
to
see.
So
we
had
a
total
number
of
1443
students
that
were
supposed
to
graduate
this
June
2022..
K
K
K
We
have
154
students
who
drop
out.
Let
me
explain
what
that
means.
Dropout
means
if
a
student
that
leaves
the
school,
we
don't
know
whether
this
wouldn't
win.
It
could
be
that
the
student
enroll
in
another
school,
but
we
don't
know
whether
this
wouldn't
win,
so
it
counts
as
a
Dropout,
because
we
have
to
call
the
students
something
called
the
425
code.
That
is
a
stakehold.
That
indicates
that
we
don't
that
the
student
didn't
complete
graduation.
We
didn't
provide
the
student
with
an
education
here
that
allow
him
to
graduate.
K
It
could
be
a
student
that
left
because
the
student
had
to
work
also,
and
we
have
to
code
the
student
for
25,
so
this
number
counts
against
us
in
terms
of
our
graduation
rate.
I
want
to
provide
you
with
some
numbers.
Also
in
terms
of
that,
so
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
student
s
are
living
when
they
are
so
the
day
the
year
that
they're
supposed
to
graduate.
K
We
had
a
total
of
16
students
that
left
when
they
were
here
in
grade
nine.
We
have
65
students
that
left
when
they
were
here
in
grade
10,
and
we
had
50
that
left
when
they
were
here
in
grade
11
and
21
that
left
when
they
were
here
in
grade
12..
So
the
grade
nine
year.
It
is
so
important
because
that's
when
everything
begins
to
count
in
terms
for
our
graduation
rates,
so
I
provided
you
with
numbers
there,
I
I'm,
going
out
to
here.
K
K
Many
of
them
are
our
English
language
Learners,
because
many
of
them,
some
of
them
age
out
school
and
also
they
need
to
work
or
they
leave
to
another
school
district
or
they
leave
the
country
and
we
don't
know
where
they
are,
but
we
don't
have
any
way
to
finding
out
where
they
are.
So
we
have
96
students
this
year.
K
Okay,
now
we
are
going
to
determine
now.
What
do
you
think
is
going
to
be
our
projected
calculation
for
the
rate
of
a
graduation
rate
that
we're
going
to
receive
this
year?
So
when
you
look
at
this,
the
numerator,
when
you
go
back
to
the
PowerPoint?
Oh
sorry,
if
you
go
back
here,
we
had
1
121
students
that
graduated
right
and
then
we
had
a
total
of
1
443
students
that
were
supposed
to
graduate.
L
K
K
Yeah
77.7,
it's
just
you
reverse.
We
like
that
too.
Yes,
so
it's
77.8
and
I
have
that
I
will
show
you
something
that
is
that
I
really
like
to
to
show
you
soon,
but
now.
Graduation
data
also
includes
students
that
graduate
in
three
years,
and
we
have
students
that
graduate
within
three
years.
They
finish
the
coursework
in
three
years
four
years.
Also,
that's
the
the
what
we
expect
the
students
to
graduate.
K
We
also
have
five-year
graduation
rates
and
we
have
six
year
graduation
rates
because
we
have
such
a
large
population
of
second
language
Learners
and
that
the
high
school
is
28.
District
level
is
33.
Our
student
needs
this
extra
time
to
be
able
to
learn
the
language
and
pass
an
English
regions
exam
the
graduation
rate
when
it
comes
to
the
five
and
the
sixth
year
cohort
is
usually
it's
between
80
and
81
percent.
K
Okay.
So
now
these
are
the
percentages.
If
you
look
in
June
right,
let
me
take
a
look
here
in
June
71
percent
of
students
graduated.
We
have
18
they're
still
on
role
and
11.
Dropout.
If
you
add
the
11
to
the
71
percent,
we
will
have
what
kind
of
graduation.
If
we
knew
where
the
students
went,
we
will
have
82
percent
in
June.
K
K
We
are
doing
Miracles
here
we
really
are.
We
have
I'm
very
proud
of
our
programs
because
we
graduate
so
many
English
language
Learners
this
year.
We
expect
to
have
a
52
of
English
language
Learners,
and
for
many
we
don't.
We
see
wow
only
52.
We
went
from
20
to
33
to
40,
and
now
we
are
at
52..
This
is
something
that
has
to
be
celebrated,
and
these
are
students
that,
for
the
most
part,
they're
entering
here
when
they're
in
grade
nine,
so
this
is
something
like
I
said
to
to
be
celebrated.
K
Now
this
is
the
four
year
comparison,
so
we're
coming
from
74
to
76
right
74
again,
and
we
expect
to
have
a
78
rate
in
terms
of
the
graduation
all
right.
So
what
are
some
of
the
factors
that
affect
graduation,
as
I
mentioned
before,
is
the
425
code
that
we
have
to
use
for
the
students
that
move,
and
we
don't
know
where
they
go
inconsistent
attendance.
You
know
when
the
students
lose
instructional
time,
they
don't
get
the
credits
that
they
need,
because
they
can
complete
their
work.
K
Many
students
have
to
go
to
work
and
that's
just
something
that
they
have
to
do.
Law
of
achievement,
students
that
have
interrupted
education
and
then
do
it
well
in
school.
Homelessness
also
is
a
factor
as
well,
students
moving
in
and
out
again
with
a
high
Mobility
lack
of
credit
and
they're
over
age,
and
also
we
have
some
mental
health
concerns
with
some
students
as
well
and
suspensions.
K
So
now
what
do?
What
are
we
doing?
So
we
redesign
some
of
our
existing
structures
that
we
have
here.
Thank
to
you,
the
Board
of
Education.
We
now
have
a
Dropout
prevention
counselor
who
works
at
the
high
school
and
work
with
all
of
our
students,
in
particular
with
immigrant
students
that
are
coming
in
without
credits,
and
she
creates
an
individualized
graduation
plan
for
them.
K
So
that
way,
the
principals
know
how
many
students
score
between
65
and
a
70,
and
we
are
providing
interactions
for
the
students
right
now,
so
they
can
complete
their
work
and
they
can
accelerate
their
learning
and
they
can
learn
and
they
can
actually
pass
the
classes,
and
we
also
are
looking
at
athletes.
Mr
Herrera
is
helping
us
also
create
our
Nissa
Landry,
create
reports
of
all
the
athletes,
how
they're
doing
so.
K
They
already
finished
school
in
their
country,
I'm,
very
proud
to
say
that
this
year
we
were
able
to
add,
with
your
help
also
on
the
superintendent
of
schools,
Regency
level
courses
at
the
middle
level.
So
we
added
algebra
classes.
We
also
added
the
RTI
Specialists
that
are
helping
students
that
were
not
in
honors,
because
only
algebra
was
offered
to
honor
students
now
we're
offering
algebra
classes
to
other
students
as
well,
that
are
not
honors,
but
we
are
providing
them
with
supports.
K
Also,
we
have
Ian
the
accelerated
class
in
grade
7
to
prepare
the
students
to
enter
next
year,
the
algebra
courses
we're
offering
now
living
environment.
So
what
this
means
is
that
our
students
are
going
to
leave
the
middle
school
with
credits
already,
many
students
will
be
living
with
credits,
and
we
are
very
proud
of
that.
K
We
implemented
the
math
academy
at
the
middle
level,
also
to
help
the
students
that
are
enrolled
in
this
math
classes,
we're
adding
regions,
preparation,
classes
at
the
middle
level
and
at
the
Freshman
Center
right
now
we're
adding
something
called
Mash
missing
assignment
story:
Halls,
where
we're
going
to
have
our
students.
The
principals
have
the
report,
the
failure
reports
and
all
of
the
students
who
are
not
doing
well.
K
The
parents
are
going
to
receive
a
phone
call
that
and
our
teachers
are
going
to
have
some
teachers,
volunteers
that
are
going
to
be
teaching
the
match
and
we
are
going
to
help
them
complete
their
assignments
and
get
them
up
to
speed.
So
they
can
pass
the
courses
that
they're
not
doing
well
with
we're
offering
tutoring.
We
also
have
a
family
welcoming,
welcoming
Center
here.
That
is
helping
immigrant
families
understand
the
educational
system
here
also
in
the
United
States,
and
the
goal
for
us
is
to
have
our
grade.
K
9
students
complete
at
least
4.5
credits
when
they
leave
the
Freshman
Center
grade,
10
between
5
and
11.5
grade
11
between
12
and
18.5
credits
and
grade
12,
12
19
credits.
That
would
allow
us
to
provide
our
students
with
more
electives,
After,
High
School
and
for
them
to
acquire
also
an
advanced
level
diploma
and
that's
the
goal.
And
of
course
we
have
to
ensure
that
our
data
is
very
clean.
Whatever
Gets
reported
to
the
state
that
that
has
to
be
very
clean
because,
as
I
said,
any
unconfirmed
student
that
we
don't
know
where
they
left.
K
We
have
the
Dropout
counselor
Diane,
Tory,
Lisa,
Landry
and
Marlena
Ramos
in
the
registration
office
are
constantly
contacting
schools
and
if
we
get
a
record,
also
Norma
molar
at
the
bilingual
office.
As
soon
as
we
get
a
request
of
records
from
another
school,
we
check
to
see
if
we
added
the
the
status
of
the
students.
If
we
indicated
that
the
student
actually
moved
to
North
Carolina,
if
we
had
them
as
a
Dropout
before,
because
we
didn't
know
what
this
wouldn't
work.
K
So
we're
constantly
looking
at
this
list
as
well,
and
now
we
hire
also
a
full-time
transition
work-based
project
coordinator,
that
is
actually
helping
tremendously
at
the
high
school,
in
particular
with
the
special
education
students.
Okay,
any
questions
about
this
part
of
the
presentation.
No
thank
you!
So
now
we
have
the
Shanna
Dr
dolin
speaking
about
the
nine
period
today,.
M
The
courses
that
you
see
presented
right
now
are
the
additions
that
we
were
able
to
make
to
our
course
catalog.
With
the
edition
of
the
ninth
nine
period,
when
we
took
a
look
at
as
an
administrative
team
and
really
dug
into
the
data
to
figure
out
which
courses
would
be
most
beneficial
for
our
students,
we
looked
at
student
interests,
which
courses
the
student
requested.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
we
had
courses
that
were
varied
and
level
and
that
all
of
our
courses
had
a
College
and
Career
Focus.
M
So,
for
example,
in
our
physical
Department,
we
added
an
intro
to
Aquatics
class.
So
a
student
that
comes
in
in
the
fall
not
knowing
how
to
swim,
can
take
the
intro
to
Aquatics
class
and
then
follow
it
up
in
the
spring,
with
a
life
gardening
class,
where
they
end
with
a
license
and
can
go
into
employment
right
after.
M
So
that
is
an
opportunity
that
we're
very,
very
proud
to
be
able
to
offer
to
our
students.
We
also
added
courses
such
as
the
exploring
teaching
course
that's
offered
in
the
English
Department.
As
a
half
credit
course,
students
learn
the
foundations
to
pedagogy,
and
then
the
same
group
of
students
can
go
into
the
exploring
teaching
internship
course
offered
through
the
business
department
in
the
spring
and
many
of
those
students.
You
will
see
in
some
of
our
district
buildings
this
coming
spring
tutoring
and
working
with
our
classroom
teachers
on
the
elementary
and
the
Middle
School
level.
M
So
many
of
these
courses
have
a
work
based
learning
component
built
into
them.
We
also
were
able
to
add
to
AP
courses
this
year
to
our
very
long
list
of
AP
courses
that
we
currently
offer.
We
have
a
seminar
class
where
it's
a
it's
one
of
our
entry-level
courses,
where
students
can
gain
some
foundational
skills
around
research.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
specific
to
science.
Students
can
do
social
science
research
as
well,
or
it
study
any
other
Global
issue
that
they're
interested
in.
We
also
added
our
AP
human
geography
class
to
our
course
curriculum.
M
M
M
The
course
enrollment
numbers
are
listed
there.
Most
of
our
courses
that
we
offer
are
one
year.
Courses
seniors
have
the
option
to
take
some
of
the
courses.
We
have
a
handful
of
courses
that
are
also
offered
as
two-year
programs
where
our
11th
graders
have
an
option
to
take
both
in
their
11th
and
12th
grade
year.
M
M
M
The
pathway
exams
students
can
use
their
interests
of
choice
to
secure
that
plus
one
option.
So
students
that
are
experienced
in
art
they
can
pursue
a
Regent's
diploma
by
completing
successfully
completing
a
Regents
in
art.
Our
BOCES
students
are
students
that
work
outside
of
the
district
or
inside
the
district,
or
have
secured
some
work-based
learning.
M
Experience
can
also
secure
that
plus
one
option
through
either
our
CTE
Career
Technical
education
or
our
cdos
option
career
developmental
occupational
studies,
credential
our
new
transition
coordinator,
miss
Karen
Gross,
has
been
very
instrumental
in
the
work
this
year
to
secure
additional
options
for
our
students
to
end
with
their
cdos
credential,
ensuring
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
additional
work-based
learning
options.
She
was
also
able
to
secure
a
pilot
for
this
year
so
that
our
students
also
have
the
option
to
test
to
pass
that
credential.
M
So
we
will
offer
them
free
of
charge
and
exam
this
year
for
our
seniors
to
have
the
option
to
use
that
as
a
pathway.
Our
students
that
are
more
math
science
based
can
use
the
stem
option
where
they
can
take
a
second
math
Regents
or
a
second
science.
Regents,
our
humanities
students
would
follow
more
of
the
traditional
format
they
can
take.
M
M
M
This
is
when
we
identify
students
who
are
at
risk
of
not
graduating,
and
we
assign
them
to
what
we
call
a
student
support
coach.
It
is
one
of
our
teacher
Volunteers
in
the
building
who
works
with
a
group
of
students,
and
they
do
just
what
we
would
think
a
coach
would
do
so
they
motivate
students
they
check
in
with
them.
They
talk
to
them
about
what
assignments
they
have
outstanding.
M
M
One
of
the
things
that
I'm,
also
very
proud
to
share
at
the
high
school
is,
as
we
continue
to
look
at
the
data
and
realize
that
a
lot
of
our
students
for
a
variety
of
reasons
drop
out.
We
try
to
continue
to
include
and
develop
programs
clubs
as
well.
That
will
keep
our
kids
connected
to
the
school
building
So.
Currently
we
have
over
50
clubs.
The
students
can
participate
in
in
a
variety
of
areas.
M
We
were
able
to
add
the
five
that
you
see
presently
as
of
this
year
and
every
year
we
try
to
continue
to
add.
All
of
these
clubs
usually
come
out
of
a
conversation
with
a
student
that
says:
oh
I
found
the
Gap
and
there's
something
that
I
want
to
do.
That's
not
currently
offered,
so
we
find
a
chaperone
for
the
student
and
in
comes
a
new
club,
so
new
programs.
For
this
year
we
offered
additional
support
for
our
enl
Learners
after
school
they
meet
and
go
over
academic
support.
M
M
M
Students
that
are
securing
a
local
diploma
have
an
option
of
securing
a
lower
pass
rate
in
the
Regents
exams.
General
and
students
will
need
to
pass
the
Regents
exams
with
a
65
or
higher
students
can
use
options
such
as
some
of
our
safety
nets
or
superintendent's
determination
to
secure
a
local
diploma
at
a
grade
of
55
or
higher,
which
would
designate
a
local
Region's
diploma.
E
M
So
let
me
just
clarify
when
I
say
volunteer,
our
teachers
are
still
being
paid
to
work
with
our
students,
but
they
we
do
ask
for
their
support
because
they
do
have
relationships
in
the
building
where
they
can
connect
with
some
of
our
outside
teachers.
In
addition
to
the
supports
that
we
provide,
through
our
guidance
office.
M
L
D
K
K
So
what
you
will
see
on
news
day,
this
is
what
is
presented.
What
the
state
of
knowledge
is
the
August
graduation
rate
and
something
also
that
I
want
to
clarify
here.
So
here
on
the
August
graduation
rate.
For
this
year
you
saw
the
1140
or
443
students
that
started
as
a
cohort.
In
August
we
had
1121
graduates.
K
L
K
L
K
D
L
L
L
K
Are
correct
if
you
look
at
the
dropout
rate,
it's
very
low
there.
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
Dropout
of
our
students
here
is
a
little
bit
higher
and
that
denominator
that
we
have
to
use
right
affects
the
graduation
rate.
That's
what
I
added
before
the
11
to
the
71,
just
to
show.
If
we
didn't
have
that,
if
we
only
have
five
percent
of
students
dropping
out,
then
our
graduation
will
be
much
higher.
Well,
is.
L
Confidence
that
you
thought
out
have
also
the
problems
and
acknowledging
exactly
centralizer,
but
is
essentially
even
though
smaller
a
very
similar
demographic
that
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement,
and
what
I
do
appreciate
is
your
willingness
to
say
we
intend
to
improve
the
question
is
and
that
I
appreciate
the
question
is
this
is
one
of
the
discussions
is?
Is
you
have
at
least
announced
plans
to
bring
this
Improvement
about
as
opposed
to
losing
forward
willingness.
J
Well,
there's
always
been
a
plan
to
improve
well
and
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
the
pat
excuse
me,
Mr
Fritz.
Let
me
interject.
You
have
to
also
take
into
consideration
the
past
three
years
we
were
undercovered
and
the
requirement
for
graduation
was
somewhat
stretched
to
allow
some
of
these
students
to
graduate
so
now
we're
back
to
a
more
stringent
process
with
graduation
requirements
right
so
now
we're
putting
going
back
to
where
we
were
pre-covered.
So
we
have
to
take
all
these
things
into
consideration
and
I
do
agree
with
you.
J
Miss
wander,
Ortiz,
Dr,
Doolin
and
Mr
Bennis
have
done
a
phenomenal
job,
explaining
our
graduation
rates.
Now,
sometimes
we
hear
things
we
don't
want
to
accept
and
what
we
have
to
accept.
What
is
now,
let's
just
say
that
we
are
on
an
upward
trajectory
and
what
we're
doing
here
today
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
J
We've
always
been
doing
this
is
that
we've
chosen
this
Workshop
to
highlight
what
we've
been
able
to
do
with
the
new
funds
that
we
were
given
and
the
opportunities
that
we
are
giving
our
students
to
get
them
to
the
finish
line,
to
get
them
into
a
career
path,
to
get
them
to
college,
to
get
them
to
a
vocational
whatever.
It
is
that
they
may
choose
to
do
in
life
to
be
successful.
What
they
do
successful,
not
what
we
as
parents
deemed
successful,
but
what
a
student
themselves,
because
that's
what
we
want
right.
J
We
want
well-rounded
students,
students
who
feel
success
successful
in
whatever
career
they
choose,
whether
they
are
a
mechanic,
a
custodian,
a
teacher,
a
lawyer.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
so
the
graduation
rate,
yes,
is
improving
it,
but
we're
kind
of
getting
fixated
on
one
portion
of
that
graduation
rate,
so
the
71
percent
does
sound
low,
but
we're
not
factoring
in
that
additional
August
percentage.
That
kind
of
brings
us
up
to
a
78
percent.
J
K
No,
no,
what
I
said
was
the
dropper
rate
at
in
centralized,
because
you
are
comparing
us
with
Central
Islip.
If
you
look
at
the
numbers
from
last
year,
I
believe
they
have
five
students
or
something
like
that.
That
left
the
district.
We
had
a
significant
number
of
students
that
left
the
district,
and
that
affects
the
number
of
graduation
rate.
K
You
also
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
when
a
student,
it
usually
takes
seven
to
nine
years
to
learn
a
language
when
we
have
students
entering
here
in
grade
nine
and
we
are
expecting
for
them
to
graduate
in
four
years.
It
is
a
very
difficult
thing
to
do
right.
Our
teachers
are
doing
it
as
I
mentioned
a
phenomenal
job
teaching
our
students
and
our
students
are
doing
great.
We're
graduating
our
second
language
Learners.
K
That
number,
when
you
look
at
it,
if
we
didn't
have
that
number,
as
Mr
Faro
mention
station,
doesn't
have
the
numbers
that
we
have
it's
our
second
language
Learners,
we
will
have
a
much
higher
graduation
rate.
We
have
to
give
our
students
time
to
be
able
to
acquire
the
language,
our
five-year
graduation
rate
and
our
six-year
graduation
rate
goes
to
the
80
percent,
and
that
is
including
the
students
that
are
dropping
out
of
school.
E
Thank
you
came
to
this
District
I
didn't
know:
English
I,
don't
like
it
the
most
popular
there
was
no
such
thing
as
filing
I
had
to
figure
it
out
and
learn
to
myself
these
children
coming
into
the
position.
Unless
you
have
you
guys
and
all
these
new
programs,
my
daughter,
graduated
last
year,
she
saw
a
program
here
that
is
new.
This
year
she
said
wow.
If
this
was
here
before
I
would
have.
Definitely
you
know
what.
F
H
E
E
E
Yes,
but
I
have
three
children
I
attended
the
high
school
myself,
but
I
have
three
children
in
the
district
and
I
have
to
thank
everyone
for
my
mind,
and
everyone
has
a
lot
to
say
about
the
district.
What,
where
are
they
because
I'm
here?
Where
are
the
parents
that
have
a
lot
to
say
about
the
district
where
in
the
past
and
have
things
to
stand
by
her
board
member
Mr
lochner
you
sitting
in
the
front?
N
N
N
So
I
say
this
to
you:
don't
worry
about
what
other
schools
are
doing
around
your
area
worry
about
the
school
that
we
have
in
our
area
and
about
the
people
that
are
standing
for
and
working
hard.
We
cannot
judge
teachers
like
as
well
as
we
can't
trust
anybody
else.
They
work
as
hard
as
they
can
every
single
day.
Why?
Because
it
keeps
my
kids
that
I
am
not
the
parent
when
they
leave
my
house.
N
The
parent
is
the
teacher,
the
principal
the
superintendent,
who
we
then
jump
all
over
them
when
we
as
parents,
don't
become
parents.
So
let's
stop
the
education
that
we
give
here
and
what
our
giving
here
is
so
important,
and
this
fits
I
respect.
You
I've
known
you
for
a
long
time
your
numbers,
the
way
that
you
I've
studied
you,
but
let's
be
realistic.
N
Happened
to
the
statement,
let
me
tell
you:
let
me
tell
you
the
day
that
you
sit
there
on
that
other
side,
which
maybe
you
will.
Maybe
you
will
something
I've
accepted.
Okay
did
the
data
you
have
sat
and
whatever
there
are
closed
doors
behind
that
door,
that
they
get
educated
and
you
get
educated
and
some
of
the
stuff
you
can't
give
to
the
school
or
you
can't
give
to
the
parents
and
we
as
parents
will
be
struggle.
So
let's
stop.
N
J
P
All
right
well,
first
I'd
like
to
say
I'm
a
very
proud
1991
graduate
from
the
Brentwood
School
District
was
at
30
somewhere.
Almost
38
35
stopped
counting,
but
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Board
of
Education
tonight
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
highlight
all
the
programs
that
we
offer
here
in
Brentwood
and
the
nights
that
we
offer
the
parents
and
students
and
also
like
to
thank
the
board
for
approving
many
of
the
programs
and
paint
for
the
college
programs
that
I'm
going
to
discuss.
P
So
I
get
to
celebrate
and
share
all
of
our
accomplishments
and
the
college
programs
that
we
offer
so
first
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
dual
enrollment
programs
that
we
have
the
Brentwood
School
District
has
many
Partnerships
with
several
different
colleges.
The
first
college
that
I'll
talk
about
is
Suffolk
Community
College
right
here
in
Brentwood,
we
offer
dual
enrollment
classes,
which
are
High
School
classes,
that
students
take
on
the
Brentwood
campus
for
college
credit
and
high
school
credit.
P
If
you
look
to
the
side,
this
is
a
list
of
the
courses
that
we
offer
at
the
Brentwood
High
School
and
the
enrollment
of
students
that
were
taking
it
for
college
credit.
Last
year,
such
as
in
digital
animation.
Last
year
there
was
one
student
taking
it
for
college
credit.
This
year
we
have
40
students
taking
it
for
college
credit.
I'll
also
note
that
this
year
the
Brentwood
School
District
is
paying
for
the
students
to
take
these
credits
to
earn
the
credits.
P
As
you
can
see,
the
numbers
have
jumped
significantly
in
journalism.
In
a
digital
Society,
we
went
from
5
to
16.
in
Spanish
four
36
students
last
year,
paying
for
the
college
credit
until
this
year,
200
students
taking
it
for
college
credit
enrolled
in
that
class
and
showed
a
business,
went
from
13
to
60
accounting
12
to
70,
and
you
could
just
take
a
look
at
the
rest
there.
The
numbers
speak
for
themselves,
continuing
on
with
some
of
our
Partnerships.
We
have
a
partnership
with
Stony
Brook,
all
of
our
students
in
our
English
12
honors
class.
P
Take
that
class
for
college
credit.
We
added
last
year,
poetry
in
America.
That
was
also
paid
for
the
school
district
last
year
as
well
as
this
year,
and
we
have
57
students
that
took
it
last
year
for
college
credit
as
well
as
this
year.
The
past
several
years
we've
offered
introduction
to
Social
Work.
Last
year
we
had
12
students
taking
for
college
credit.
This
year,
24
students
are
taking
for
college
credit.
P
Our
last
partnership
with
the
dual
enrollment
class
classes
is
with
Farmingdale,
where
we
offer
four
classes.
You
see
just
to
note.
Advanced
Computer
Graphics
went
from
60
to
109
students,
human
anatomy
and
physiology
23-36,
and
you
can
see
the
trend
it
just
now,
with
the
district
paying
many
of
the
students
have
signed
up.
In
2021,
we
had
a
total
of
305
students
taking
dual
enrollment
classes
for
college
credit.
This
year
we
have
948
making
that
increase
of
643
students.
A
C
A
K
How
we
can
work
that
we
need
to
grant
money.
Last
year
we
paid
we
pay
and
Title
One.
The
funding
was
reduced,
so
we
are
using
the
emergency
funds
for
now,
but
we
are
always.
If
the
enrollment
increases,
we
will
always
get
more
funds
as
well
on
the
the
grants
and
we
will
use
grant
money
to
pay
for
this.
Thank
you.
P
Okay,
we
also
offer
special
off-site
programs.
We
have
a
partnership
with
Farmingdale,
it's
called
smart
Scholars
is
the
program
we've
had
it
for
the
past
five
years,
students
coming
out
of
eighth
grade
start
taking
college
credit
in
ninth
grade
and
each
year
we
start
with
40
students
in
the
cohort.
Last
year
we
graduated
the
first
class,
and
there
was
36
students
who
completed
the
program,
earning
up
to
30
credits
from
Farmingdale
and
that's
not
taken
into
consideration
the
AP
courses
they've
taken
with
it
this
year.
We
also
have
the
early
college
program.
P
This
is
a
program
where
we
send
students
to
Suffolk
Community
College.
We
bus
them.
We
bust
seniors
in
the
morning.
Between
first
and
third
period,
students
have
the
chance
to
earn
up
to
12
credits
in
that
morning
program,
but
they
also
have
other
students.
Juniors
and
seniors
can
take
it.
In
the
afternoon.
We
bus
students
over
to
the
College
from
two
o'clock
to
five
o'clock,
and
these
students
that
have
been
accepted
can
also
take
college
classes
in
the
evening
or
on
the
weekends.
P
Last
year
was
the
first
year
that
we
had
the
Academy
of
Civic
life.
That
was
a
program
at
Stony
Brook,
where
we
sent
15
students
for
two
weeks
that
was
all
paid
for
by
Stony
Brook,
and
we,
those
students
that
were
part
of
that
program,
continued
their
civic
engagement
programs
and
I'm,
happy
to
say,
they're
still
getting
mentored
by
the
Mentos
there
and
the
program
that
they
worked
on
over
the
summer
they're
bringing
in
the
community.
P
We
had
students
working
on
increasing
immigrant
resources
in
our
community
and
we'll
probably
bring
that
to
a
board
meeting
soon
we'll
bring
those
students
and
share
the
projects
they've
been
doing.
We
also
have
the
Prosper
program
at
the
high
school.
It's
now
at
19
students,
the
Prosper
program,
there's
a
one-year
vocational
program
that
allows
our
students
to
increase
their
self-esteem
and
it
encourages
them
to
improve
their
attendance
and
educate
them.
On
the
relevancy
of
the
world
of
work.
P
Last
year
we
have
a
partnership
with
northwell
health
and
we
recruited
students
out
of
the
Freshman
sector
and
we
have
10
Community
Scholars.
So
these
10
students
are
partnered
with
a
mentor
from
northwell
and
they'll
meet
with
them
between
now
and
the
end
of
their
senior
year,
with
the
expectation
that
northwell
will
pay
for
their
college
education,
those
10
students
and
we're
continuing
that
this
year,
recruiting
10
more
students
out
of
the
Freshman
Center.
P
Currently,
at
the
high
school
we
have
19
advanced
placement
courses.
You
can
see
the
list
of
courses
there,
Dr
Doolin
discussed
the
newer
classes
earlier.
That
was
AP
Human
Geography
also
AP
seminar,
and
this
year
increasing
last
year
was
the
first
year
for
AP
Computer
Science,
and
this
year
I
could
say
with
the
nine
period
they
were
able
to
add
additional
sections.
So
we
have
many
more
students
in
that
class
in
all.
P
At
the
high
school
we
have
we
use
Naviance,
which
is
a
college
application
platform
and
career
education
platform,
and
we've
had
over
100
universities
and
colleges
come
visit.
The
Brentwood
High
School
the
students
sign
up
on
the
Naviance
platform
to
come
visit
with
these
colleges,
the
colleges
log
in
and
they
schedule
the
visits
and
are
college
counselor
at
the
high
school,
not
plans
these
with
the
colleges
and
lets
the
students
know
when
they're
scheduled
and
as
you
can
see,
you
can
look
at
the
list
here.
P
P
In
addition
to
those
college
visits,
we
take
the
kids
on
college
tours
this
year.
Thus
far,
we
went
to
Suffolk
Community
College
we've
taken
English
language
Learners
to
the
Broadway
campus
right.
Here
they
had
workshops.
Throughout
the
day
we
took
our
dreamers
students
and
they
actually
sat
through
a
mock
math
class,
a
mock
science
class.
They
were
educated
on
the
admissions
process
and
the
importance
of
ESL
in
college.
We
also
took
students
to
St
Joseph's
College,
assuming
Old
Westbury.
P
We
took
a
coach
bus
to
New
Jersey
to
take
a
group
of
students
to
visit
a
college,
fair,
historically
black
college
and
universities.
We
also
took
students
to
Stony
Brook
this
year,
we're
going
to
send
our
first
generation
students
to
a
symposium
at
Farmingdale,
and
our
technology.
Teachers
took
automotive
technology
students
to
a
visit
at
Suffolk,
Community
College,
the
Ameren
campus.
P
Whitlock
college
counselor
we
have
on-site
admissions
to
at
the
Brentwood
High
School
on-site
admissions
or
also
known
as
instant
decision
days,
is
where
the
colleges
come
to
the
school
and
our
students
can
apply
right
there
on
the
spot
with
their
admissions
representatives
and
we
provide
them
with
an
application,
their
transcript
a
letter
of
recommendation
and
they
get
a
decision
right
on
the
spot.
These
are
the
colleges
that
we've
had
that
we
have
scheduled.
P
This
year
we
offered
Universal
testing
for
the
PSAT
nmsqt,
so
all
of
our
10th
grade
and
11th
grade
students
had
the
opportunity
to
take
the
PSAT
we
had
over
2
000
students
sit
for
those
for
that
exam.
We
offer
also
offer
sat
preparation
classes.
We
have
method
test
prep
coming
to
the
school,
we're
going
to
offer
a
program
just
before
the
March
Administration
and
we'll
have
three
courses
just
before
the
May
administration
of
the
SAT
and
just
one
more
one.
P
More
thing
is
that
all
these
programs
here
that
I'm
mentioning
were
are
paid
for
by
the
Brentwood
School
District.
Thank
you
to
the
Board
of
Education
method.
Test.
Prep
is
also
available
online
for
our
students
for
all
of
our
students.
We
offer
act
and
SAT
prep
this
full
full-length
exams
that
they
can
take
online
and
get
instant
feedback,
there's
also
practice
and
review.
P
On
that
platform,
we
offered
the
the
ASVAB
this
year
to
students
actually
this
week
and
we
are
going
to
bring
to
the
school
district
this
year
to
increase
our
cdos
credential,
we're
going
to
offer
an
exam.
It's
called
21st
century
success,
skills
we're
going
to
offer
that
to
students
to
all
of
our
12th
grades
this
year
and
in
addition
to
that
the
same
day,
the
kids
will
take
a
Youth,
Science
aptitude
and
Discovery
exam
or
aptitude
test.
P
Just
going
to
highlight
some
of
the
events
and
nights
that
we
have
at
the
high
school
so
in
summer,
in
August,
we
start
with
common
application,
Head
Start,
that's
where
we
allow
our
students
to
come
in
to
get
a
jump
start
on
their
common
application.
They
come
in
and
meet
with
guidance,
counselors
and
our
College
counsel
now,
and
they
begin
that
process.
They
get
a
start
on
their
essay
and
completing
the
column
application.
When
it
opens
up,
we
had
a
night
in
October.
It
was
a
financial.
P
Late
night
we
had
a
financial
aid
officer,
come
over
from
Suffolk
Community
College
to
give
a
presentation
to
our
parents.
We
offer
a
night
for
the
college
application
process
that
we
had
in
September
to
prepare
our
our
students
and
parents
for
the
application
process
that
they
start
in
the
senior
year.
P
P
In
addition
to
that,
we
offer
several
other
Saturdays
where
parents
are
invited
to
come
in.
We
also
had
nights
during
the
week
where
parents
made
appointments
to
come
in
with
all
college
counselor
and
complete
the
FAFSA
in
its
entirety,
and
we
help
the
parents,
with
the
you
know,
signing
up
for
their
pin
all
the
way
through
the
process
to
they
complete
the
FAFSA.
P
Just
to
say
many
districts
do
not
do
that.
They
don't
complete
passages
and
parents
don't
bring
any
attacks
their
taxes
from
the
previous
year
and
share
that
information.
But
we've
offered
that
service
and
I'm
very
proud
of
my
department
for
for
doing
that
and
having
so
many
days
for
that,
we
I'll
offer
a
night
in
April
past
few
years.
P
We
do
a
presentation
similar
to
like
tonight
to
talk
about
New,
York,
State,
education,
graduation
requirements
and
pathways
and
we'll
also
have
a
curriculum
night
in
January
I'm
thankful
that
covet
is
over
and
we
can
now
have
our
nights
back
with
all
the
students
and
parents
in
our
gymnasium.
We'll
we'll
have
an
elective
day
where
we'll
have
the
students
come
into
the
gym
and
meet
with
teachers
to
discuss
all
of
the
programs
and
courses
that
they
are
going
to
offer
next
year.
P
In
January,
we'll
have
a
junior
parent
information
night,
that's
a
night
where
we're
going
to
meet
with
our
Junior
parents
to
prepare
them
for,
what's
expected
of
their
child
to
finish
their
junior
year
and
to
be
prepared
for
the
upcoming
year
as
a
senior
in
terms
of
graduation
and
preparation
for
postgraduate
plans,
whether
it's
going
to
college
or
going
to
the
the
workforce
or
the
military.
We'll
discuss
many
different
things
that
that
informational
night.
P
We
have
a
college
fair
every
year
in
March,
we'll
offer
that
in
the
next
few
weeks,
we'll
have
the
northwell
medical
career
day
at
the
Freshman
Center.
We
also
have
a
career
fair
and
on
December
14th,
we'll
have
an
NCAA
guest
speaker
at
the
high
school
that
is
forthcoming,
going
to
go
to
parents,
the
informational
flyer.
P
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
single
bullet,
but
it's
been
tremendous
having
her
assist
the
guidance
counselors
and
be
available
throughout
the
school
day,
because
many
of
our
students
don't
want
to
leave
their
classes
during
the
school
day
and
when
they
have
a
free
period,
such
as
lunch
or
study
hall.
That's
a
time
where
they
can
see
their
guidance
counselor.
But
if
their
guidance
counselor
doesn't
have
an
appointment
for
that
particular
period.
P
So
next,
just
to
wrap
up
I'm
going
to
play
this
video
and
just
before
I
do
that
just
before
I
came
to
the
media
tonight,
I'll
just
share
this
with
you.
One
of
our
students
was
matched
through
Quest
bridge
and
he's
going
to
be
attending
Columbia,
University,
I'll,
I
won't
say
his
name
at
this
point
I.
Let
him
surprise
his
friends
and
family,
but
just
proud
to
share
that
with
you.
P
B
F
O
Q
O
G
Q
F
K

H

O
O
P
J
It's
super
important
and
I
think
that
it
helps
relieve
some
parents
about
sending
you
know
their
students,
their
children,
their
prized
possessions
to
our
district,
and
you
know
it
makes
us
proud
to
know
that
we're
providing
such
a
phenomenal
education
and
all
of
us
had
children,
grandchildren
who
had
watched
students
who
were
students
in
this
District
so
to
see
that
I
put
any
of
our
students
up
against
any
other,
any
other
District
anytime
any
day
of
the
week.
So
thank
you
like
we
are
blessed.
We.

Because
it's
not
all
about
it's
about
wearing
these
kids
painful
employment
in
their
doctors
and
I've
watched
years,
kids
graduate
and
they
don't
have
the
skills
to
hold
the
job.
So
if
they
can't
maintain
a
job
doesn't
matter,
we
have
to
give
him
skills
to
be
able
to
be
successful.
That
I
think
that's
a
good
job
living
things,
opportunities.
J
That
is
the
goal.
Yes,
you
know,
I'll
share.
Some
I'll
share
something
personal.
Many
of
you
know
that
my
son
is
autistic.
He
graduated
with
the
first
covet
class
in
2020.
when
he
was
preparing
to
go
into
the
middle
school
I
had
three
older
children.
This
is
my
first
experience
with
a
child
with
disabilities.
I
really
didn't
know
much
about
the
district.
J
At
that
point,
I
knew
that
he
was
getting
services,
but
I
had
to
do
my
due
diligence
as
a
parent
I
needed
to
make
sure
that
his
diagnosis
was
accurate
and
that
the
services
he
was
receiving
were
the
right
ones.
So
I
went
out
and
I
got
him
tested
outside
the
district
and
I.
Remember
bringing
his
paperwork
his
IEPs,
everything
that
they
needed
to
do
a
an
assessment
of
him
and
the
doctor
said
to
me
you
know
most
times:
I
have
to
go
to
war
with
the
district.
J
She
goes
and
I'm
fully
prepared
to
bring
my
battle
ax
she
goes,
but
you
never
have
to
worry
about
that
because
they're
doing
right
by
your
son.
So
for
me
that
gave
me
such
a
sense
of
relief
right
because
I
had
somebody
outside
of
the
district
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
everybody
needs
that
just
I
did
that.
J
You
know
they
just
freely
speak.
You
guys
have
such
great
special
education
services.
You
guys
have
such
great
kids
and
you
know
you
hear
it
time
and
time
again
and
I
really
want
our
community
to
start
believing
that
I
know
a
lot
of
us
do.
But
there's
a
percentage
of
our
community
that
does
not
believe
we
are
servicing
our
children,
our
students
well
and
I'm,
hoping
that
tonight
really
and
I
think
it
did
I'm
hoping
it
did
really
kind
of
change.
J
The
minds
really
changed
the
mind
so
that
they
can
feel
comfortable
not
having
to
send
listen.
If
you
want
to
sing
in
kids
private
school,
that's
your
prerogative
as
a
parent,
we're
not
going
to
stop
you
but
send
them,
because
that's
what
you
want
to
do,
not
because
you're
afraid
of
sending
your
kids
to
the
Brentwood
School
District.
K
Thank
you
so
much
this
I,
you
know
I
do
have
to
say
that
I
am
so
proud
of
our
teachers
too.
They
care
so
much
about
our
students
and
I
get
emotional,
because
you
know
we
do
the
work
behind
the
scenes,
but
they're
the
ones
with
the
children,
and
it's
not
easy.
Sometimes
you
know
when
we
have
students,
as
someone
mentioned
before
there
are
three
years
that
we
really
suffer
from
covet
right
and
and
we're
seeing
many
of
these
things
right
now.
K
Yesterday,
I
had
a
meeting,
she
was
saying
that
I'm
just
multiplying
you
know
and
learning
how
to
teach
them
how
to
multiply
and
they're
in
grade
six
but
they're
there
with
them
every
day.
So
I
do
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
say.
Thank
you.
The
guidance
councils
are
amazing,
the
building
principles
as
well
the
coordinators
and
the
assistant
coordinators.
That
are
here
too,
but
this
is,
you
know,
I
heard
in
Puerto
Rico.
We
say
a
village
right
to
work
with
our
kids
and
it's
really
true.
K
K
J
And
you
know
we
did
a
lot
with
very
little
in
the
past
and
you
know
we
received
the
blessing
right.
We
finally
got
what
was
to
us
and
I
hope
we
continue
to
get
what
we
deserve,
because
it
is
allowing
us
to
do
these
things
that
you
all
have
mentioned.
Adding
all
these
electives
and
I
know
that
those
will
grow
with
time
if
we
continue
getting
the
appropriate
funding
and
these
opportunities
are
just
wonderful
for
our
students,
they're
leaving
with
happy
two
years
worth
of
college
credits.
Yes,
I
mean
you.
K
G
C
A
A
C
Question
here,
I
am
interested
in
learning.
If
the
district
has
any
plans
for
the
few
in
the
future
for
special
education
students,
specifically
at
the
high
school
level,
to
implement
one
out
of
nine
out
of
the
nine
periods,
a
skills
class
where
they
can
meet
with
their
case
manager
and
have
the
ability
to
catch
up
on
work,
have
any
social
or
emotional
issues
addressed
Etc.
C
D
S
I
think
that
we're
pushing
inclusive
practices
and
not
only
special
ed
students,
are
suffering
from
mental
health
or
anxiety,
we're
seeing
it
across
the
board.
So
if
we're
going
to
create
a
period
I
don't
want
to
because
right
now
we
get
measured.
We
have
to
report
to
the
state
the
percent
of
time
that
students
are
with
Jeanette
Pierce
and
we're
already
identified
as
a
school
for
a
least
restrictive
environment.
I,
don't
want
to
increase
that
number.
S
We're
exploring
so
many
different
things
right
now
we're
looking
at
curriculum,
we're
Building,
multi-tiered
Systems
of
support,
we're
looking
at
different
books.
We
have
a
behavior
specialist,
pushing
into
the
elementary
schools
we're
looking
at
Partnerships.
Northwell
Health
doesn't
have
the
capacity
to
partner
with
Brentwood,
but
we're
looking
at
PM
Pediatrics,
so
that
we
could
build
a
wrap
around
Services,
because
parents
are
having
a
difficult
time
after
school.
If
a
kid
needs
to
have
contact
with
a
a
mental
health
provider,
so
we're
working
on
it,
the
best
is
yet
to
come.
