Webinar 2-10-22
B
Good
evening,
everyone
I
am
going
to
get
started
in
a
couple
seconds.
People
will
be
rolling
in
for
the
next
few
seconds
or
so
so
we
will
get
started
in
about
one
minute
so
good
evening
and
welcome.
D
A
E
Lauren
I'm
seeing
that
there,
the
attendees
list
from
me
says
zero.
Is
that
the
case
for
other
people.
B
So
we
have
it
look
yes,
so
I
think.
D
I
think
everybody
somehow
has
the
link
to
jump
in
and
now
that
we're
live
they
are
coming
in
as
full
attendees
and
we're
a
nice
small
group.
So
I
think
that
may
work,
although
that
that's
my
fault
folks,
so
my
apologies
for
some
quirkiness
here
and
lauren
has
not
been
cloned
by
many
people.
D
So
if
you're
joining
us,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
look
in
the
upper
right
hand,
corner
of
your
box
and
there
are
three
dots
and
if
you
would
click
on
that,
you
can
choose
rename
and
we'd
love
to
know
who's
here
with
us.
My
apologies.
Sometimes
sometimes
tech
works
great,
and
sometimes
I
make
a
mistake.
So
my
apologies,
but
it
would
be
nice
to
know
who's
here
with
us
yeah.
So
we'll
give
folks
a
moment
for
that.
D
While
we're
thinking
about
technology,
if
you
are
not
a
regular
zoom
user,
you
can
control
how
you
see
the
screen
and
the
real
estate.
So
in
the
upper
right
hand
corner
there
is
a
nine
dot
waffle
block
and
if
you
click
on
that,
you
can
choose
how
you
view
your
screen.
We've
got
everybody
in
with
our
cameras
on
right
now,
but
when
we
move
into
slide
sharing,
you
may
want
to
see
just
the
speaker
and
the
slide
happening.
B
So,
thank
you,
shannon.
We
will
go
ahead
and
get
started.
I'm
I
think
that
we
are
maybe
having
a
little
bit
of
technical
difficulties
with
the
link,
but
I
think
we
will
work
our
way
through
it
and
the
good
news
is
we
are
recording
this
this
evening,
so
we
will
be
able
to
share
this
out
with
our
larger
community
after
so
I'd
like
to
formally
welcome
you
to
our
community
meeting
this
evening.
B
For
those
of
you
that
may
not
that
I
may
not
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
yet
my
name
is
lauren
mcbride.
I
am
the
current
I'm
the
principal
here
at
burlington
high
school.
We
are
really
excited
to
be
offering
this
community
meeting
tonight
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
look
behind
the
scenes
of
all
of
the
things
that
are
happening
at
bhs.
B
It's
been
an
amazing
year
with
a
lot
of
change
and
a
lot
of
movement
forward,
and
we
recognize
that
with
the
challenges
of
covid
and
and
just
the
the
kind
of
state
of
where
or
we
are,
that
it's
been
hard
to
have
to
welcome
people
into
our
building,
and
so
we
found
this
to
be
a
really
amazing
opportunity
to
welcome
you
in
in
a
different
way
to
at
least
have
you
hear
about
some
of
the
the
work
that's
happening
behind
the
scenes
and
projects
that
are
underway.
B
So
that
is
the
focus
of
our
time
together
tonight.
So
let
me
do
this,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
doing
the
slides
and
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
that
you
all
can
see
with
my
screen
the
way
it
is
okay,
so
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
evening,
we'll
be
doing
some
introductions
of
who
is
on
our
panel
this
evening
we
will
be
doing
a
restorative
practice,
opening
that
you'll
see
as
part
of
our
introductions
and
then
we're
gonna
really
jump
into
our
main
agenda.
B
That's
some
updates
some
updates
of
programming,
that's
happening,
some
updates
from
different
departments
and
the
work
that's
happening
there,
a
little
bit
about
our
capital
improvements,
our
climate
and
culture
and
learning
environment.
So
we're
gonna,
just
kind
of
kind
of
take
back
that
curtain
and
bring
you
in
to
let
you
know
all
of
the
good
things
that
are
happening
within
our
community,
so
we
are
going
to
so.
This
you'll
see
on
this
slide.
These
are
the
panelists
that
we
have
here
with
us.
This
evening.
B
We
have
our
leadership
team,
comprised
of
melanie
alexander
francesca
dupuis,
kate,
paxton,
levar,
barino
q,
picni
and
norem
trombley,
tremblay
and
shannon
walters,
and
so
we're
excited
to
have
everyone
here
this
evening
and
so
here
what
we
thought
we
would
do,
knowing
that
you
entrust
or
that
you
send
your
amazing
children
to
come
to
bhs
every
day
to
learn
and
engage
in
in
their
education.
B
We
thought
we
would
kind
of
like
have
some
fun
with
this
and
go
back
to
to
find
some
pictures
of
us
and
and
relate
back
to
us
in
high
school.
So
here's
just
a
little
bit
about
who
we
are
so
again,
I'm
laura
mcbride.
She
her
hers.
B
I
grew
up
in
portsmouth,
rhode,
island
and
went
to
portsmouth
abbey
school,
and
you
can
see
some
different
pictures
of
me
from
my
senior
year
and
then
also
you
know.
I
played
three
different
sports
in
high
school
and
here's
a
picture
of
trying
to
channel
the
current
season
of
me
playing
hockey.
B
I'm
the
one
that's
right
here,
so
that's
kind
of
fun,
and
I
don't
know
that
I've
put
on
skates
that
much
since
so
so,
and
and
then
we
wanted
to
just
also
say
like
we
asked
the
question
to
our
team
tonight.
What
part
of
working
at
bhs
do
you
like
love
the
most,
and
so
my
response
is
like.
I
don't
really
know
where
to
begin,
because
I
love
all
the
aspects
of
being
within
our
community,
the
connecting
with
students
being
able
to
see
them.
B
You
know
walking
through
the
halls
in
the
cafeteria
being
able
to
go
into
classes
and
seeing
students
interact
with
their
learning
authentically
and
with
each
other
is
something
that
I
think
is
what
you
know.
What
drives?
What
drove
me
to
be
in
education
and
drives
me
to
be
where
I
am
today
is:
is
our
students
I
also
love
working
alongside
with
our
faculty
and
staff.
We
have
an
amazing
faculty
and
staff
at
bhs.
B
I
feel
so
honored
and
humbled
to
be
able
to
be
part
or
be
their
leader
at
this
time.
I
feel
like
it's
it's
it's
amazing,
the
level
of
expertise
that
exists
within
our
school
and
really
our
our
charge.
This
year
has
been
to
enhance
the
opportunities
for
students
at
bhs
and
our
our
faculty
is
student-centered
and
has
risen
to
the
challenge
to
really
try
to
think
creatively
and
differently
this
year,
and
I'm
really
proud
of
them
for
that.
B
Obviously,
our
community,
I
being
now
even
downtown,
has
allowed
us
to
engage
with
our
community
in
a
lot
of
different,
meaningful
ways.
We're
building
community
partnerships
which
has
been
you
know,
a
lot
of
fun
and
being
able
to
meet
people
that
want
to
come
and
support.
Our
students
has
has
been
a
really
nice
added
bonus
to
this
job,
and
I
think
something
that
I
truly
love
is.
I
am
an
instructional.
B
I
I'm
kind
of
a
geek
about
instruction
and
I
love
the
ability
to
provide
conditions
and
opportunities
for
our
faculty
and
staff
to
explore
new
and
innovative
ways
to
approach
instruction
tomorrow
I
have
the
I
have
the
like.
B
I
guess
I
have
the
ability
or
tomorrow
I'll
rephrase
that
tomorrow
I
have,
I
will
be
facilitating
a
retreat
with
our
special
education
department
and
that's
some
of
the
work
that
I
love
is
being
able
to
think
creatively
and
differently
and
have
and
create
the
conditions
where
they
can
reconstruct
refine
and
look
at
instruction
differently.
So
I
feel
incredibly
lucky
to
have
that
opportunity
here
at
bhs
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
melanie
alexander.
E
Hi
everyone
thank
you
lauren,
so
I
am
melanie
she
her
hers.
I
am
very
new
actually
to
burlington
and
vermont,
but
this
has
been
a
wonderful
change
for
me.
I
grew
up
in
brookline,
massachusetts
went
to
brookline
high
school
there's
one
high
school
in
brooklyn
massachusetts,
that's
the
one
I
went
to
and
funny
thing
is
that
right
now
I
am
visiting
my
grandmother
who's
a
102
years
old.
So
all
these
pictures
I
found
at
her
house.
So
that
is
me
when
I'm
really
little
and
who
gave
me
that
dress.
E
I
have
no
idea,
but
the
picture
on
the
bottom.
That's
my
mom
and
and
that's
actually
my
graduation
day
from
from
brooklyn
high
school.
So
it's
a
true
pleasure
to
be
to
go
from
one
bhs
to
a
better
bhs,
don't
tell
anyone.
I
said
that
it's
been
a
real
wonderful
change
and
I
absolutely
adore
this
leadership
team.
I
actually
should
have
put
that
on
my
favorite
part
of
working
at
bhs.
E
This
leadership
team
has
been
amazing.
Second
to
none
is
the
faculty
working
with
faculty
has
been
very
humbling.
People
have
been
super
welcoming,
been
very
responsive
to
my
needs.
As
a
new
administrator,
an
instructional
leader,
to
been
very
responsive,
I
think,
to
kids
in
school
and
their
needs
trying
to
be
creative
to
support
all
students.
So
that's
been
a
real
pleasure.
E
I
like
to
keep
my
office
door
open
and
some
some
people
have
said.
Why
are
you
doing
that?
Like
there's
kids
that
come
in
there
and
I'm
like?
I
want
the
kids
in
there
because
I
come
in
my
office
and
they're,
actually
laughing
they're
having
fun
so
that's
been.
A
real
joy
in
parts
of
my
day
is
to
have
kids
come
in
and
just
kind
of
kind
of
sit
down
and
chat
and
not
feel
like
they're
quote
unquote
in
trouble.
E
When
they
see
me,
I've
been
listening
to
some
really
important
feedback
from
students.
Some
of
it
really
positive.
Some
of
it
very
constructive-
and
I
have
been
so
pleased
with
how
smart
they
are
and
how
genuine
they
they
are
in
terms
of
what
they
think
what
they
feel,
what
they,
what
changes
they
want
to
make.
So
that's
been
great.
E
I've
already
talked
about
this
admin
team,
and
you
know
the
support
of
the
district
for
our
for
restorative
practice
is
unparalleled,
so
I
am
learning
every
day
from
faculty
and
staff
around
rp
and
that's
been
really
educational
and
wonderful
for
me
too.
So
thank
you
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
to
francesca.
A
F
Thanks
melanie
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
francesca
dupree
she
for
hers.
This
is
a
photo
from
my
eighth
grade,
my
yearbook
and
I
was
actually
able
to
find
it
because
I've
been
recently
finally
cleaning
out
things
from
high
school
and
middle
and
elementary
school.
So
I
was
impressed
that
I
actually
was
able
to
find
this.
Otherwise,
I
don't
have
no
idea
what
my
high
school
photo
is,
but
I'm
from
saugus
massachusetts
originally
and
I
attended
saugus
high
school.
F
I
went
to
uvm,
which
is
how
I
ended
up.
Staying
in
vermont,
I
went
to
uvm
and
my
first
introduction
to
burlington
high
school
was
in
2009,
as
in
as
an
observer
through
the
college
of
ed
program,
and
then
I
was
able
to
participate
in
my
teaching
internship
with
two
former
vhs
teachers
in
the
history
socialized
department,
so
my
first
very
introduction
was,
as
a
student
at
uvm
and
vhs,
automatically
felt
like
the
place
that
I
wanted
to
be
so
when
a
positioned,
open
or
in
a
position
opened
up
in
2011.
F
F
And
so
when
thinking
about
what
my
favorite
part
of
working
at
vhs.
This
was
challenging
because
there's
been
so
many
memories
already
and
and
identified,
first
and
foremost
the
community
of
bhs
families
and
and
students,
as
well
as
the
culture.
Because,
as
I
mentioned
like
this,
this
is
the
only
institution
that
I
know
post
college,
and
this
has
been
my
career.
F
And
so
when
I
was
applying
to
this
position
over
a
decade
ago.
That's
what
made
it
easier
for
me
to
to
move
back
to
vermont
and
really
establish
this
as
my
home
and
that's
what
has
become
my
home
with
my
partner
and
our
children.
So
the
community
has
been
just
very
warm
and
welcoming
and
taught
me
a
lot.
F
What
I
also
really
appreciate
about
working
at
bhs
is
the
trust
and
flexibility
in
the
curriculum
in
terms
of
from
the
teaching
perspective,
and
that
has
been
my
experience
specific
specifically
in
the
history
and
social
studies.
Department
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
room
for
experimenting
as
well
as
reflection
and
growth
and
trying
to
serve
the
education
of
our
students,
your
students,
as
best
for
our
abilities.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
trust
and
flexibility
that
previous
administration
has
provided.
F
I
really
enjoyed
the
candid
conversations
that
we've
had
with
students,
even
though
they
may
be
a
little
uncomfortable
or
difficult
or
shocking.
At
times,
I've
really
really
appreciated
their
candidness
and
that's
both
as
a
teacher
and
administrator
and
lastly,
something
that
I've
really
appreciated
and
identified
as
a
value
of
mine
is
the
willingness
for
people
to
be
vulnerable.
F
I've
really
embraced
vulnerability
and
that's
something
that
I've
learned
over
time
and
I've
also
witnessed
over
time
that
people
embrace
it
and
again,
even
if
it
makes
us
uncomfortable
those
vulnerable
moments,
have
been
essential
for
difficult
for
earnest.
Conversations
and
our
growth
overall
and
that
vulnerability
is
also
true
with
students
and
those
are
the
people.
Students
are
the
ones
who
have
taught
me
the
importance
of
vulnerability
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
pass
it
to
kate.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
C
Thank
you
francesca
hi,
everyone,
I'm
kate
paxton,
and
I
the
pictures
that
you
see
up
span
from
me
in
ninth
grade
to
me
in
12th
grade
and
I
think,
sort
of
highlights
the
range
of
ages
and
developmental
levels
that
we
see
in
high
school.
It's
hard
to
believe
that
to
me
that
that
was
the
same
person,
but
all
of
the
ranges
of
experiences
I
had
in
high
school
are
sort
of
represented
there.
I
my
family,
was
from.
C
I
was
born
in
in
boston
and
my
family
moved
out
to
cincinnati
ohio
when
I
was
a
toddler-
and
I
grew
up
in
a
little
town
right
outside
of
cincinnati
called
wyoming
and
went
to
the
public
schools
in
wyoming,
and
then
I
came
back
east
to
go
to
college
in
massachusetts
and
headed
up
to
vermont,
which
I
had
always
loved
as
a
child.
I
had
family
in
vermont
and
got
my
masters
at
uvm
and
the
first
time
I
came
up
to
the
crest
of
the
hill
and
saw
the
lake
down
below.
C
C
I
love
the
team,
both
the
team
of
administrators
on
the
leadership
team
and
the
faculty,
and
the
community
having
a
group
of
people
who
share
a
vision
is
something
that
I
learned
a
little
bit
about
in
my
first
teaching
experiences
working
at
a
middle
school
in
north
carolina
and
is,
is
just
the
most
amazing
feeling
to
be
passionate
about
something
and
to
have
a
group
of
people
to
share
that
with
and
to
and
to
go
through
the
the
trials
and
tribulations,
and
also
the
successes
as
you're
really
trying
to
work
toward
your
vision.
C
I
love
that
in
my
job
as
assistant
principal
of
student
supports,
I
really
get
to
to
support
our
special
ed
and
our
english
learners
and
our
counseling
departments,
and
help
different
teams
work
on
making
the
school
community
more
inclusive
for
all
of
our
students
and
families
and
breaking
down
some
of
the
silos
that
have
kind
of
naturally
creep
up,
as
as
as
people
try
to
do
their
best
in
their
smaller
circles.
C
C
The
leadership
team
had
already
started
to
meet
and
had
done
visioning
for
this
year
and
had
created
a
graphic
around
hopes
and
dreams
for
where
we
were
headed
and
at
the
very
center
of
that
graphic
was
equitable
equitable
outcomes
for
students
and
to
to
join
a
group
that
had
started
that
process
and
to
find
that,
like
I
was
already
on
that
train
car
was
really
awesome
and,
and
it's
really
great
to
be
able
to
bring
back
all
of
our
conversations
to
that
focus
right.
C
I
had
come
from
working
in
an
elementary
school
for
a
couple
years,
which
is
amazingly
fun
too,
and
there's
an
energy
there
and
feeling
the
first
day
of
school
when
the
students
came
in
the
building
that
energy
and
what
it
feels
like
with
high
school
students
is
just
it's
just.
It's
just
amazing,
and
you
really,
you
notice
the
difference
when
the
students
aren't
there
and
it's
not
even
the
you
know
the
sounds
of
the
band
coming
from
that
room
or
you
know
the
chatter
in
the
cafeteria.
G
Oh,
that
is
me
my
turn.
Oh
good
evening.
All
my
name
is
levar
barino
I
go
by
he
and
his.
I
am
currently
the
dean
of
students,
the
dean
of
ninth
grade
students
here
at
bhs.
It's
a
new
position
launch.
I
actually
got
my
photo
here
is
me
and
my
mom.
The
first
day
they
actually
dropped
me
off
at
chapel
hill
chauncey
hall
school
in
waltham
mass.
G
I'm
noticing
there's
a
lot
of
massachusetts
connection
amongst
my
team,
but
that's
my
first
day-
and
this
is
my
good
friend
in
the
picture
below
who
actually
saw
me.
When
I
returned
from
my
sophomore
year
to
my
junior
year.
I
then
decided
to
throw
a
nice
little
fun
picture
of
me
and
my
dad.
I
was
a
preemie
born
premature,
it's
good
to
see
how
resilient
I
was
and
overcoming
many
challenges,
just
like
our
students
here
at
vhs,
so
my
favorite
part
working
at
bhs
the
morning
greetings
pre-covert.
G
It
was
about
the
250
handshakes.
I
was
coming
up
with
many
students
post
covet.
Now
it's
a
simple
good
morning.
How
are
you
how
you
doing?
What
do
you
need,
and
what
do
you
want
in
order
to
get
through
the
day,
so
man
connected
with
all
students
and
staff?
You
know
I
love
the
energy
atmosphere
of
the
school,
the
restorative
practices.
I
love
giving
kids
a
fair
chance
to
hear
their
voice
being
a
trusting
truth,
teller
for
all
students.
G
I
try
to
bring
to
the
table
as
a
dean
of
what
I
would
want
it
from
a
dean
or
from
a
person
who
could
meet
me
where
I'm
at
see
some
of
my
challenges,
but
also
believe
in
me
be
a
champion
in
my
corner,
no
matter
how
wrong
or
right
that
I
am
understanding
school
policies,
but
also
help
me
build
school
culture.
G
G
If
you
can
show
me
a
class
you're
struggling
in
but
you're,
showing
some
consistency
and
trying
and
attending
I'm
gonna
get
you
some
gummies
and
I
hope
that's
just
a
little
start
of
building
that
connection
and
trust
amongst
the
students
and
families
knowing
that
they're
in
good
hands,
and
I
would
love
to
treat
these
kids
the
way
I
want
to
be
treated
in
school,
to
reassure
that
they're
going
to
graduate
and
be
model
citizens
in
the
community.
So
thank
you
guys
and
I'm
passing
it
on
to
you.
G
H
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
karon
pinckney.
Everybody
knows
me
as
q,
my
pronouns
are
he
him
his
I'm
originally
from
the
bronx
new
york,
but
I
went
to
school
at
st
benedict's
prep
in
newark
new
jersey.
H
As
you
can
see,
my
high
school
photo
was
our
state
championship
team,
my
senior
year,
I
felt
that
was
an
appropriate
photo
to
include
in
the
in
the
high
school
photos,
because
that
kind
of
launched
my
trajectory
to
my
journey
to
vermont,
I
was
recruited
to
play
basketball
at
st
mike's
and
receive
an
education.
You
know
I
fell
in
love
with
the
place
met
some
great
people
and
I've
been
here.
You
know
this
is
year,
14,
14
years
later,
I'm
still
here,
building
a
life.
H
My
favorite
part
of
working
at
bhs
is,
you
know,
continuing
to
try
to
provide
our
students
with
as
many
diverse
opportunities
as
possible.
I'm
thankful
to
be
a
part
of
this
bhs
leadership
team.
When
prince
movement,
when
principal
mcbride
got
the
official
word
that
she
was
going
to
be
the
official
principal
last
year.
H
H
You
know-
and
it's
provided
me
a
great
opportunity
to
let
our
students
know
that
you
know
they
can
see
themselves
and
particularly
our
global
majority
students.
They
can
see
themselves
in
positions
of
leadership
and
that
they
can
have
influence
and
positive
impact
on
their
education
and
whatever
their
next
dignified
steps
are.
You
know
once
they
leave
us
at
bhs
and
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
to
principal
mcbride.
I
No
worries,
thank
you,
q.
Thank
you.
Lauren
hi,
I'm
norm
trombley.
I
grew
up
in
highgate
vermont
about
a
mile
from
the
canadian
border,
grew
up
on
a
dairy
farm
and
went
to
missisquoi
valley.
Union
high
school
school
went
to
uvm.
After
actually,
I
graduated
1987
from
missisquoi
and,
as
you
can
see
from
my
high
school
photo,
that's
not
my
official
senior
photo.
That
was
an
alternate
version,
but
I
think
that
one
has
a
lot
more
flair
with
the
coat
over
the
shoulder.
I
I
remember
about
10
years
in
there
was
kind
of
a
threshold
moment
where
I
realized.
I
wasn't
asking
questions
anymore.
I
had
other
people
asking
me
questions
and
I
kind
of
realized.
I
turned
the
corner
and
that
oh
you're,
not
a
new
teacher
anymore
you're,
actually
seen
as
one
of
the
veteran
teachers
and
people
come
to
you
for
advice
and
for
pointers
throughout
the
day
and
just
for
information.
I
I
We
both
kind
of
understood
a
little
bit
better,
where
we're
coming
from.
I
found
out
what
was
actually
going
on
and
we're
going
to
see
them
again
tomorrow
morning,
and
they
said
yes,
tomorrow's
going
to
be
better
and
you
know
sorry
for
what
happened
this
week.
But
I'm
feeling
a
lot
better
and
thanks
for
talking
with
me.
So
just
moments
like
that
when
you
get
to
see
you
know
a
student,
not
just
in
class
but
outside
of
class
and
what
they're
really
like
and
get
to
know
them
on
a
more
personal
level.
I
I
think
is
one
of
the
best
parts
of
working
at
bhs
and
then,
as
it
says,
helping
out
in
any
way
possible
like
I
said
when
people
come
to
me
for
advice
or
for
help,
I'm
very,
very
thankful
and
very
forthcoming
with
any
anything
that
they
need.
So
I
I'm
now
in
my
second
year
as
the
lead
teacher
in
the
math
department,
and
even
more
than
ever,
I'm
getting
people
asking
me
for
advice
and
for
help,
and
I
really
like
it
because
it
just
keeps
me
busy
throughout
the
day.
I
So
it's
it's
been
quite
a
trip
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
leave
it
on
that
and
I'll
pass
it
on
to
ms
walters.
D
Hi
folks,
I'm
shannon
walters
the
librarian
at
bhs
and
oh
gosh.
I
think
it's
melanie.
We
have
to
have
to
blame
for
these
high
school
photos.
I
went
to
fox
lane
high
school
in
bedford,
new
york
and
the
only
solo
photo.
I
could
find
online
wasn't
for
my
senior
year,
but
it
was
for
my
volleyball
team.
I
was
the
setter
I
very
rarely
hit.
They
included
a
photo
of
me
actually
touching
a
ball
over
the
net
as
a
joke,
and
you
know
these
things
live
in
infinity.
D
I
am
excited
to
be
in
our
new
building
and
getting
moved
in
and
really
ready
to
work
with
our
students
in
the
library.
My
day
is
never
the
same.
So
some
days
we
may
be
working
with
ninth
graders
on
identity
projects,
sometimes
we're
working
with
ap
bio
class
students
modeling
the
functions
of
an
organelle,
and
I
love
that
and
I
love
getting
to
see
anywhere
between
four
and
500
students
a
day.
So
we
we
have
lots
of
fun
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
it
later.
B
So
sorry
about
that,
I
was
trying
to
find
myself
back
in
this
all
right.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
thank
you,
for,
I
guess
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
us.
The
rest
of
this
meeting
is
going
to
be
to
really
showcase
some
of
the
work
that's
happening.
B
So
I'm
going
to
be
talking
to
you
over
the
next
couple
minutes
about
our
rise
allocation,
which
is
part
of
our
equitable
budgeting
initiative,
some
enhancements
that
have
been
made
to
our
programming
and
and
and
also
enhancements
that
we're
working
on
as
we
look
ahead
to
22-23
some
capital
improvements
that
are
happening
within
the
building
and
then
just
give
you
a
very
quick
sneak
peek
for
bhs
btc
2025.,
so
our
rise
allocation.
B
So
one
of
the
initiatives
that
was
launched
this
year
within
our
district
was
the
the
was
our
this
rise
allocation
as
part
of
part
of
our
equitable
budgeting
strategy.
So
the
rise
allocation
allowed
allowed
us
to
to
really
look
at.
Where
are
some
areas
that
we
have
that
we
have
need,
especially
in
improving
outcomes
for
our
most
vulnerable
students,
and
so
we
had
a
committee
that
was
comprised
of
17
committee
members
that
met
over
the
course
of
a
couple
months
together
and
separately
people
really
we
talked
about
what
are
some
of
our
challenges.
B
Where
are
some
areas
that
we
think
we
can
utilize
funding
to
be
able
to
enhance?
You
know
the
opportunities
for
students
as
we
look
ahead
to
22
23..
There
were
about
19
proposals
that
were
put
through
to
the
committee
to
consider
and
from
that.
What
you're
seeing
on
here
is
how
we
have
been
able
to
identify
utilizing
our
allocation
as
we
move
as
we
prepare
for
school
year
22-23,
so
we
will
be
adding
an
additional
reading
specialist
to
our
interventionists,
as
well
as
a
stem
interventionist
next
year.
B
B
We
also
will
be
adding
a
1.0
fte,
so
a
full-time
faculty
that
will
be
a
mental
health
counselor.
So
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we've
identified
throughout
our
our
time
and
really
coming
or
kind
of
like
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic
has
been
just
the
amount
of
stress
and
strain
that
this
has
put
on
our
students.
Additionally,
we've
seen
staffing
that
has
been
impacted
across
the
the
community
and
also
and
with
the
need
of
mental
health,
supports
rising.
B
So
we,
the
committee,
deemed
it
appropriate
to
be
able
to
find
a
mental
health
counselor.
That
would
be
a
bhs
faculty
member
to
provide
on-site
supports
in
a
variety
of
ways.
So
we're
we're
really
hopeful
and
excited
about
this.
B
This
position
as
we
look
ahead
to
22-23.
Additionally,
we
identified
funding
to
really
focus
on
co-teaching.
Co-Teaching
is
a
model
where
you'll
have
one
or
more
or
you'll
have
two
teachers
that
will
be
in
a
classroom
that
could
be
an
english
language
teacher
or
a
special
educator.
B
That's
working
with
more
of
a
generalized
faculty
member
to
enhance
and
provide
support
within
the
classroom
for
all
of
the
students
being
able
to
meet
students
where
they
are
so
we'll
be
putting
some
funding
really
diving
in
on
professional
development
for
for
faculty
and
staff
to
enhance
those
opportunities
within
our
our
day-to-day
classes.
B
This
year,
we've
been
really
focused
on
deeper
learning.
We've.
Our
professional
development
through
line
this
year,
has
really
been
to
to
understand
what
it
means
to
provide
instruction
that
enhances
students
ability
to
to
learn
in
a
way
that's
more
hands-on
and
applicable
to
real
life,
and
so,
as
part
of
our
when
we
met
some
of
the
proposals
that
came
up
was
to
provide
this
fund
that
allows
faculty
to
access
which
can
which
faculty
to
access
where
they
can
utilize
funds
to
enhance,
like
learning
deeper
learning
opportunities
within
their
within
their
curriculum.
B
So
maybe
that
means
them
being
able
to
partner
with
a
community
member
to
go
out
and
do
something
within
the
community.
It
may
mean
bringing
people
in
it
could
be
utilized
for
resources
or
materials
that
could
help
students
to
engage
in
a
way
with
content.
In
a
different
way,
within
the
classroom,
and
so
so
we're
excited
about
that
opportunity
and
then
finally,
there
were
there
was
some
funding
that
was
for
materials
and
resources
to
ensure
that
we
are
providing
updated
materials
for
our
students
in
different
contexts.
B
This
was
a
really
important
and
beneficial.
I
guess
like
opportunity
for
us.
I
think,
like
we
really,
the
17
committee
members
were
really
engaged
and
thoughtful
and
connected
with
other
people
within
the
community
to
think
deeply,
and
I'm
really
hopeful
and
excited
by
the
proposals
that
we've
been
able
to
put
forward
and
and
looking
forward
to
having
these
new
positions
and
also
this
flexibility.
As
we
look
ahead
to
22-23.
B
And
so
kind
of
leading
off
of
that,
there's
been
some
things
that
we've
relaunched
this
year
and
then
also
we
are,
even
though
it
is
only
february.
We
are
already
planning
ahead
and
looking
ahead
to
just
to
enable
or
to
support
us
having
a
strong
start
for
22
23..
B
So
this
year,
we've
really
we've
we've
invested
back
in
our
faculty,
like,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this,
our
faculty
is,
is
diverse
and
has
really
deep
knowledge
and
they're
experts
in
many
different
ways,
and
so
this
year
we've
relaunched
professional
learning
communities.
We
call
them
plcs,
so
faculty
meet
in
cross-department,
plc's
and
they're
all
looking
at
different
aspects
of
our
community
and
programming
for
students
that
we
think
we
can
enhance
and
they're
collectively.
B
B
Additionally,
we
have
committees,
we,
so
we
relaunched
our
committees
this
year,
so
faculty
also
have
joined
different,
so
every
faculty
and
staff
also
is
part
of
a
committee
where
they
may
be
looking
at
supporting
our
yes
program
and
planning
for
that
or
they
may
be.
B
Looking
at
our
credit
recovery
and
how
we
can
look
at
that
system
and
refine
it
and
enhance
it,
all
of
this
work
is
really
thinking
about
the
the
programs
and
that
we
have
and
thinking
about
how
we
can
re
like
how
we
can
tweak
refine
and
increase
opportunities
like
really
thinking
about
our
students
at
the
core,
so
those
meet
on
a
on
an
every
other
week
basis
and
the
work
has
been
really
powerful.
That's
coming
out
of
those
committees
and
we
continue
to
see
more
movement
with
them.
B
You
know,
as
the
year
goes
on,
currently
we're,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
already
preparing
for
next
year,
so
we're
like
really
kind
of
knee-deep.
In
on
the
the
initial
launch
of
a
lot
of
different
work,
that's
happening.
B
B
Next
wednesday
we
have
a
consulting
group
that
is
coming
in
to
really
focus
in
on
our
counseling
department
and
also
look
at
our
overall
student
supports
to
think
about,
like
how
are
we
meeting
the
needs
of
our
students
and
where
are
some
areas
that
we
can
potentially
like
reframe,
refocus
or
and
or
enhance
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
cohesive
system.
That's
meeting
students
that
is
providing
the
supports
that
all
students
need
in
a
way
that's
meaningful.
B
So
you
should.
You
have
probably
received
a
survey.
There
was
another
one
that
came
out
in
your
email
today.
If
you
have
not
done
that,
I
please.
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
the
time
to
complete
that
survey.
It's
really
important
information
that
will
help
us
as
we
meet
with
this
group
when
they
come
next
week.
B
They'll
be
meeting
with
a
lot
of
different
groups
of
kind
of
mini
focus
groups
to
be
able
to
learn
a
lot
of
information
and
then
again
provide
us
with
some
recommendations
for
next
steps,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
these
new
positions
that
we'll
be
forming
or
that
we'll
be
adding
to
our
faculty
as
we
look
ahead
to
next
year.
B
That
may
be
missing,
and
so
we
are
really
in
the
in
the
throes
of
some
planning,
we're
looking
at
models
at
other
schools,
of
what
works,
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
the
job
descriptions
that
we're
crafting
and
the
positions
that
we're
looking
to
fill
are
meaningful
and
complementing
what
we
already
have.
B
So
that's
just
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
right.
Now,
it's
really
exciting.
This
kind
of
creative
work,
I
think,
provides
us
with
opera.
It's
going
to
provide
us
with
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
enhance
the
experience
that
our
students
have
and
really
be
able
to
complement
the
work.
That's
already
happening,
so
we're
excited
by
the
feedback
that
we're
going
to
receive
and
then
using
that
to
really
continue
to
forge
ahead
and
and
enhance
just
the
overall
experience
for
our
students
at
bhs
capital
improvement.
B
You
know
I
we
are
just
about
in
less
than
a
month
about
to
hit
our
one
year
anniversary
of
being
in
our
downtown
bhs,
home
and
so
there's
still,
even
though
we're
we're
in
it
for
about
a
year
just
like,
when
you
move
into
any
place,
you
kind
of
settle
in
and
you
figure
out
what
areas
are
really
working
and
then
what
areas
do
we
really
need
to
continue
to
ensure
that
we
are
putting
funding
in
to
be
able
to
and
make
those
improvements,
as
we
need
some
of
the
things
that
you'll
notice
is
some
of
the
aesthetics,
so
we
had
a
mural
that
was
recently
completed
with
a
local
artist
where
students
were
able
to
be
part
of
that
project.
B
So
you
can
see
the
mural
behind
the
students
there
and
then
we
also
have
these
other
murals
that
have
kind
of
come
up
over
the
last
week
or
so
that
really
showcase
and
embrace
who
we
are
at
burlington.
So
there's
a
lot
of
life,
that's
coming
to
those
white
walls
and
there's
a
couple
other
murals
and
different
pieces
of
art
that
we're
working
on
as
we
move
into
the
spring.
B
That's
really
student
driven,
which
I
think
is
amazing,
like
this-
is
our
students
home
this
isn't
our
home
as
adults
that
we're
trying
to
do
something
for
students.
This
is
their
home
and
I
think,
providing
the
opportunities
for
them
to
create
and
have
a
hand
in
and
and
making
their
home
is
really
powerful,
and
all
of
all
of
these
things
are
also
on
wooden
planks
or
canvas.
So
that
way
we
can
take
them
with
us
when
we
relocate
to
our
new
home
in
a
couple
of
years.
B
Additionally,
the
school
board
has
approved
a
half
a
million
dollars
in
capital
improvements
that
will
begin
to
occur
this
summer
within
the
building
which
we
are
so
grateful
for.
So
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
is
sound
mitigation.
You
know
we
did
some
work
on
that
this
summer,
there's
still
some
areas
that
are
problematic,
so
we're
still
looking
at
sound
mitigation,
ensuring
that
all
of
our
offices
and
any
remaining
classroom
that
may
not
have
a
door
has
a
door
and
a
couple
other.
B
You
know
areas
that
we're
looking
at
on
top
of
that,
so
it's
really
exciting.
It's
hopeful
that
you
know,
even
though
this
is
a
temporary
home
for
many
for
all
of
our,
for
your
children
like
this
is
their
permanent
home,
that
they'll
know
for
high
school
and
we
are
invested
in
ensuring
that
this
building
is
conducive
to
their
learning
and
will
continue
to
make
enhancements
that
are
beneficial
for
kids
as
we
go
so
bhs
and
btc
2025.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
virtual
kickoff
next
week
that
more
information
will
be
coming.
B
So
I
believe,
next
thursday
night
next
thursday,
there
will
be
a
community
meeting.
That's
offered
that
will
really
start
to
launch
this
project
so
be
on
the
lookout
for
invitations
that
will
be
coming
from
the
district
very
soon.
But
I
want
to
let
you
know
that,
like
we,
that
this
project
is
underway.
So
at
the
beginning
of
january
there
was
a
retreat
that
happened
with
our
faculty,
some
community
members
and
students
where
we
were
able
to
engage
in
a
really
big
visioning
project
with
our
architects.
For
the
first
time.
B
That's
really
helping
to
work
with
the
architects
and
again
this
is
comprised
of
community
members
and
students
and
faculty
and
staff
from
both
bhs
and
btc,
and
so
they
are,
you
know
again
working
together
to
think
about
what
the
big
vision
and
the
hopes
are
for
this
building
and
then
again
myself,
director
gingold,
who
is
our
director
over
at
btc,
director,
nathan,
lavery
and
director
marty
spaulding
from
property
services,
also
meet
weekly
with
our
architects,
as
we
are
beginning
to
look
at
what
are
the
needs
that
we
have
in
terms
of
programming,
so
classrooms
like
what
are
the
and
really
being
able
to
start
that
process?
B
So
there
will
be
more
to
come
next
week,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
teaser
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
underway
right
now
and
it's
exciting
to
to
have
students
be
to
have
students,
be
part
of
this
work
and
have
their
voice
be
heard
throughout
some
of
these
different
things,
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
norm.
Our
lead,
math
teacher,
our
lead
teacher
for
mathematics,
department.
I
Thank
you,
lauren
appreciate
it
and
welcome
back
everyone,
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
in
the
next
few
minutes
is
just
simply
share
a
couple
bits
of
good
news
that
have
happened
in
the
math
department
over
the
last
year.
I
Is
there
a
way
to
have
them
better
prepared
coming
in
in
tandem
with
that,
the
district
in
one
of
their
six
goals,
goal
number
four
was
or
is
more
students
have
successful
completion
of
algebra
two.
So
given
the
fact
that
the
district
said
it
as
a
goal
and
we
ourselves
had
seen
a
need,
what
we
decided
was
to
pilot
and
to
implement
two
new
courses
here
at
burlington
high
school.
I
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
taking
the
algebra
and
geometry
courses
and
we're
still
teaching
algebra
and
geometry,
but
we're
now
going
to
blend
them
together
into
two
years
into
what
we're
going
to
call
integrated,
math,
1
and
integrated
math
2..
So
all
of
the
algebra
and
geometry
skills
are
still
there,
but
now
in
a
more
thematic
format,
so
that
the
students
will
see
algebra
every
year,
so
that
they're
not
missing
a
year
of
algebra
needing
to
do
a
full
review
and
what
we're
finding
also
is
we're
finding
a
new
curriculum.
I
It's
it's
wordy,
but
it's
not
too
wordy
it's
just
the
right
kind
of
rigor
for
the
students,
so
that
they're
going
to
be
prepared
for
the
for
the
harder
questions
coming
up
in
algebra
2..
What
we're
also
offering
is
that
for
the
students
who
need
extra,
supports
and
interventions
we're
going
to
offer
a
half
credit
elective
lab
for
them.
I
What
the
other
good
news
is
is
that
this
year
we
have
hired
and
they
are
now
working
here.
Second
semester:
we've
hired
a
math
specialist
to
help
with
interventions
this
year.
What
we
found
was
that,
within
our
math
courses,
specifically,
there
were
a
lot
of
students
who
needed
extra
help,
but
then
also
what
we're
finding
is.
There
are
a
lot
of
students
who
are
just
kind
of
hanging
out
during
the
day
in
the
lab
and
just
or
in
the
library
or
down
in
the
student
support
center,
who
also
needed
help.
I
So
there
was
an
opportunity
to
say
wait.
We
should
have
someone
who's
available
for
them,
no
matter
what
block
of
the
day
to
give
them
math
help.
So
one
of
our
student
teachers
that
we
had
in
the
fall
semester
we
have
hired
now
for
our
math
specialist,
her
name
is
meredith
golden
and
she
is
available
basically
out
of
the
blocks.
I
There's
only
two
blocks
a
week-
she's,
not
here
so
she's
here
every
day,
there's
only
two
days
a
week.
She
comes
in
block
two,
but
every
other
block
of
the
day.
She
is
available
for
math
help,
either
for
by
teachers
who
specifically
assign
them
to
her
or
as
just
a
walk-in,
and
now
that
the
word
is
out,
her
room
is
bumping
as
they
say
it
is
very
busy
in
there,
and
she
has
been
talking
about
the
great
successes
she's
been
having
and
talking
about
how
a
lot
of
students
are
mentioning.
I
Wow
working
with
you,
ms
golden,
has
really
helped
me
out.
I'm
really
turning
my
grades
around
I'm
turning
my
understanding
around
and
this
kind
of
leads
into
what
we're
hoping
to
do
next
year
by
having
that
extra
lab
section
so
that
these
students
get
that
support
and
feel
a
lot
more
successful
and
have
an
opportunity
to
really
get
back
up
to
grade
level
as
needed.
D
I
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
see
that
in
the
chat
the
honors
algebra
2
course
still
remains,
as
it
is.
So.
The
honors
algebra
2
course
is
still
for
students
who
mostly
are
starting
in
freshman
geometry
and
then
we'll
take
honors
algebra
2
their
sophomore
year.
They
will
be
able
to
go
to
the
drop-in
lab
as
needed,
but
the
the
extra
0.5
lab
is
for
the
math
1
and
math
2
courses
only
for
those
students
who
need
the
extra
help
to
get
in
there.
I
So
the
lab
is
there
for
anyone,
but
really
the
0.5
credit
will
only
be
for
students
who
are
deemed
by
either
the
middle
school
teachers
now
or
by
the
current
teachers
who
recommend
them
to
need
that
extra
0.5.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Oh
and
then
the
second
question,
I'm
sorry
will
the
lab
section
especially
be
available
soon.
So
yes,
they'll
be
available,
no
matter
what,
throughout
the
day,.
D
Great
and
I
have
to
share
a
little
bit
about
the
library
we
are
about
70
moved
in
in
our
new
digs
at
downtown
bhs,
which
is
exciting.
We've
got
books
on
the
shelves.
Repurposing,
the
old
china
department
means
that
the
lighting
makes
our
books
pop
and
we
are
seeing
circulation
just
soar.
We
are
also
not
in
separate
buildings.
The
way
we
were
in
our
old
campus
and
so
students
are
walking
by
on
a
regular
basis
and
popping
in
to
grab
materials.
D
So
we
are
absolutely
loving
that
we
also
have
our
computer
lab
up
and
running
so
that
students
have
access
to
networked
computers,
which
are
literally
a
hundred
times
faster
than
our
chromebooks
and
they're,
able
to
access
special
software
so
they're
getting
toward
work
on
their
adobe
creative
cloud
projects,
they're
working
on
videos
and
sometimes
the
the
room's
pretty
hopping,
which
is
nice,
so
we're
we're
in
place.
D
We're
also
taking
advantage
of
the
fact
that
we've
had
our
that
we
are
downtown
and
we
are
close
to
the
fletcher
free
library,
which
is
a
gorgeous
public
community
library.
So
their
teen,
librarian,
abby
kozolowski,
has
been
joining
us
to
table.
Make
sure
that
as
many
of
our
students
as
possible
can
get
library
cards
doing
a
lot
of
updating
from
their
elementary
school
visits
and
getting
them
hooked
up
with
their
resources
that
our
community
is
already
investing
in.
D
So
we're
super
excited
about
those
things
and
still
making
runs
back
to
the
old
building
to
to
grab
materials
as
needed,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
being
finally
moved
over,
but
feeling
like
things,
are
really
accessible
for
students,
which
is
great
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
club.
I
went
all
images
today.
No,
no,
no,
no
bullet
points
I
figured
it
was
better
to
show
then
tell,
but
our
students
are
really
underway.
So
you'll
see
students
creating
everything
from
giant
blow-up
projects
for
their
classes.
D
We've
had
a
variety
of
classes
come
in
to
do
podcasting
and
video
and
photography
recording.
Since
we
had
the
light
setups,
we
have
the
green
screen
fully
set
up
for
students
to
use
as
well.
So
we're
excited
about
that
again,
being
downtown
means
that
we're
just
one
bus
ride
away
from
our
partners
at
the
media
factory
out
on
flynn
avenue,
so
we've
been
borrowing
equipment
from
them
and
getting
our
students
to
use
that
and
students
are
finding
us
for
some
relaxing
and
recharging.
D
So
our
chess
boards
are
in
hot
demand
and
you
might
see
students
hard
at
work
in
one
corner
and
then
turn
around
and
see
students
connecting
with
each
other
around
a
game.
So
that's
super
fun.
If
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide
again
out
of
those
silos,
we
might
see
students
from
a
biology
class
sampling
our
shelves,
because
we
see
a
lot
of
traffic
to
see
what
sort
of
things
will
grow
on
their
cultures,
we're
seeing
students
who
are
popping
in
with
a
little
bit
of
curiosity.
D
We've
got
some
students
in
the
lower
left-hand
corner,
who
found
a
mystery
box
on
our
shelves
and
discovered
that
curiosity
does
bring
rewards.
We
we
again
pop-up
games
of
all
time,
so
some
giant
chess
happening.
D
We
have
a
group
of
seniors
who
were,
I
think,
studying
for
ap
world
history,
who
also
discovered
that
we've
got
legos,
that
we
use
for
some
modeling,
particularly
with
our
physical
computing
classes,
and
we
have
a
large
construction
there
too,
because
you're
never
too
old
for
legos
and
then
finally,
we're
still
finding
ways
to
get
students
to
do
and
use
our
makerspace
tools.
So
we
had
some
students
who
created
original
original
awards
for
this
year's
cross-country
event
that
burlington
hosted
at
catamount.
D
So
lots
of
things
going
on
and
again
being
smack
in
the
middle
of
the
second
floor
means
that
students
they
can't
miss
us
and
it's
super
exciting,
to
see
the
different
projects
that
they
are
willing
to
dive
into,
while,
while
they're
walking
by
or
saying
oh
wait.
Maybe
maybe
they
can
help
me
with
this.
So
that's
our
super
quick
update
for
the
library
we're
looking
forward
to
what
adventures
next
week's
classes
will
bring
us
to.
E
Shannon
I
am
coming
to
the
library,
because
I
want
to
find
a
curiosity
box
just
okay,
thank
you
so
much,
I'm
so
great.
So
again
I
am
melanie.
I
have
I'm
basically
working
aside
from
all
the
other
things
that
assistant
principals
do
in
terms
of
making
relationships
and
engaging
parents.
I'm
working
on
two
major
initiatives:
one
is
helping.
Students
revise
our
students
and
faculty,
really
revise
our
handbook,
as
well
as
reforming
our
attendance
and
expectations,
attendance,
the
our
requirements
and
our
expectations
around
there,
and
I
love
the
visual
of
really
remaking.
E
E
The
question
is:
do
we
lose
any
of
these
elements
and
actually
these
are
excerpted
directly
from
the
student
handbook.
So
do
we
lose
anything
here?
What
do
we
keep
and
what
do
we
revise?
These
are
the
three
questions
that
students
and
faculty
will
be
engaging
in
in
the
next
during
this
next
semester.
So,
as
you
take
a
moment-
and
you
read
only
one
of
those
excerpts,
what
do
you
think
do
we
keep
lose
or
revise
wait
time
of
like
three
more
seconds.
A
B
E
Excellent,
so
absolutely
so,
and
they
all
look
fine
to
me
is
the
when
attendees.
So
actually,
everybody
is
correct
here,
so
we
are
keeping
all
of
these
policies,
and
I
would
imagine,
in
our
handbook,
of
course,
due
process
the
number
one
piece
that
keeps
the
students
rights
front
and
center
number
two
in
terms
of
the
reminder,
absolutely,
I
believe
that
all
of
our
policies
need
a
preamble
to
remind
people
of
the
importance
about
why
a
policy
is
in
existence.
E
We
all
know
that
when
our
kids
ask
us
to
do
something-
and
we
say-
because
I
say
so-
it
doesn't
really
go
over
that.
Well,
it
always
helps
to
have
a
reminder
about
why
we're
asking
them
to
do
things.
Of
course,
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
students
first
amendment
rights
are
always
front
and
center,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knows
that
they
have
a
voice
in
our
school.
E
So
we
will
be
keeping
all
of
these
policies,
though
they
may
have
some.
You
know
revisions
our
handbook
right
now,
I
think,
is
over
60
pages
long,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
handbook
is
a
living
document
that
both
students
and
faculty
are
able
to
refer
to
the
handbook
when
something
is
going
right
when
something's
not
going
right
when
they
want
to
make
a
change,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
families
are
well
aware
of
the
rights
of
their
students.
E
E
So
thank
you
for
for
your
for
not
even
playing
along,
because
this
is
a
really
serious
process
which
I'm
looking
very
much
forward
to
leading.
Let
me
next
slide,
so
thank
you.
So
the
second
initiative
is
around
attendance
expectations
and
requirements.
The
reality
is
that
students
have
been
out
of
school
for
a
long
time.
E
They
haven't
really
done.
You
know
the
traditional
five
days
in
with
everyone
in
the
school
building
for
a
long
time
and
have
developed
some
habits
that
need
correcting.
E
So
it's
about
time
and
it's
a
good
time
to
look
at
our
attendance
expectations
and
make
sure
that
everyone's
on
the
same
page,
so
we've
come
up
with
four
criteria
for
reforming
our
attendance
expectations.
One.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
holding
each
other
accountable
like
teachers.
You
know
taking
attendance
every
day,
of
course,
taking
accurate
attendance
and
then
for
students
making
sure
that
they
understand
the
relationship
between
attendance
and
performance.
E
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
consistent
in
terms
of
structuring
how
our
attendance
policies
are
encouraging
students
to
do
better
and
to
really
engage
just
a
quick
example.
We
have
a
couple
new
attendance
codes
this
year,
which
some
of
you
may
have
already
seen.
One
is
tx,
which
means
you're
really
late
for
class.
E
It
is,
we
all
know
how
important
it
is
to
be
on
time
and
very
late.
You
know
there
needs
to
be
a
discussion
around
that
and
when
kids
leave
class
we
have
all
done
a
lap
around
for
whatever
reason,
maybe
we
go
to
the
bathroom
and
then
we
see
a
friend
and
then
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
E
E
So
the
essential
question
I
think
for
this
reform
issue
is
really
what
are
the
implications
for
missing
class,
so
there
likely
should
be
some
great
implications
right.
So
the
question:
how
did
lauren
mcbride?
How
does
she
feel
like
she
can
earn
high
marks
in
my
class
if
she's
not
there,
for
for
25
of
the
time
and
when
she
misses
class
and
misses
assessments
like
this
is
all
part
of
high
expectations
for
for
all
students.
E
E
So
those
are
two
things
to
kind
of
bring
more
consistency
to
our
grading,
to
our
attendance
policy
and
to
like
into
how
students
are
engaging
with
their
rights
and
responsibilities.
E
C
So
this
is
kate
paxton
again
and
I'm
gonna
build
on
a
little
bit
of
of
what
melanie
talked
about
with
attendance
and
engagement,
and
I
think
what
this
speaks
to
is
that,
when
we're
looking
at
attendance
and
engagement,
it's
really
a
whole
bunch
of
of
issues
and
variables
that
that
come
to
play
in
looking
at
whether
students
come
to
school
and
how
engaged
they're
able
to
be
in
learning.
C
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
and
also
a
little
bit
about
the
course
selection
process.
Next
slide,
please
thank
you.
So,
as
melanie
said,
we've
been
reviewing
policies
and
procedures
and,
in
addition
to
looking
at
our
student
handbook,
we're
also
looking
at
how
our
policies
and
procedures
in
the
high
school
are
aligning
with
the
district
and
and
the
other
schools
in
the
district.
C
That
is,
that
is
a
big
undertaking
with
all
of
our
our
different
schools
and
procedures
that
have
evolved
over
many
years,
and
so
both
wanting
to
maintain
the
importance
of
schools
having
their
own
individual
ways
of
doing
things
that
have
have
evolved
for
good
reasons,
as
well
as
the
need
to
have
some
consistency.
Both
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
where
we
are,
we
are
being
consistent
with
our
expectations
for
students
across
the
district
and
then
we're
also
being
we're
also
being
fair.
C
I
think
a
piece
that
that
we've
been
looking
at
and
working
on
is
our
communications
with
families
around
attendance
and
making
sure
that
we
are
balancing
the
right
amount
of
of
communication
in
making
sure
that
families
are
notified,
and
also
noting
that
we
have
a
lot
of
students
in
our
building
and
there
are
good
and
legitimate
reasons
that
students
are
out
sometimes,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
be
barraging
you
and,
and
and
and
causing.
C
You
know
your
phone
to
ring
off
the
hook
multiple
times
each
day
and
at
the
same
time
we
want
to
make
sure
we've
got
the
right
checks
and
balances
so
that
that
you're
aware,
if
your
child
is
not
in
the
in
the
building
when
they're
expected
to
be
and
and
then
our
communication
between
home
and
school
is
really
solid.
C
One
of
the
things
that
connects
to
to
what
I
love
about
bhs
and
about
the
vision
for
the
district
is
that
that
our
focus
here
is
really
on
re-engagement
and
care,
and
so,
in
addition
to
to
tightening
up
our
procedures
on
holding
students
accountable
for
being
being
where
they're
supposed
supposed
to
be.
We
also
recognize
that
this
is
an
unprecedented
time,
we're
dealing
with
covid
we're
dealing
with
sickness,
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
mental
health
challenges
and
how
we
can
provide
a
caring,
sensitive,
supportive
response.
C
When
that's
when
that's
appropriate
and
and
something
that
we
can
do
to
strengthen
the
the
homeschool
team
and
and
and
as
lauren
talked
about
with
the
rise
allocation.
How
we
can
increase
the
amount
of
mental
health
support
that
we
can
provide
in
the
building
next
slide?
Please
sorry,
you're
already
ahead
of
me,
okay
and
so
the
course
registration
process.
C
Many
of
you
hopefully
have
received
the
information
that
we
are
in
the
midst
of
students
requesting
courses
for
next
year,
students
who
are
not
seniors
who,
who
will
be
coming
back
next
year-
and
this
is
my
first
time
around
with
this
process
in
a
high
school,
and
so
as
I've
been
both
coordinating
and
observing
how
that
process
works.
C
One
of
our
the
main
things
that
we're
looking
at
is
opportunities
for
parents
and
caregivers
to
be
involved
in
that
conversation
with
your
children
around
what
courses
they're
interested
in
what
pathways
they
are
on
for
after
high
school
to
to
strengthen
our
communication
with
you
around
what
courses
are
provided,
what
our
schedule
looks
like
so
so
that
is.
That
is
something
that
we're
we're
doing,
also
with
with
an
eye
to
how
we
can
strengthen
these
systems
moving
into
next
year.
C
A
big
conversation
that
we've
been
having
with
our
faculty
this
year
is
how
to
really
encourage
students
to
to
dream
big
and
to
take
those
advanced
and
honors
courses
to
talk
with
faculty
about
about
the
prerequisites
and
and
the
requirements
for
those
courses,
so
that
we
can
help
identify
students
who
are
ready
for
them
who
have
what
it
takes
but
may
need
a
little
extra
encouragement.
C
Students
who
may
have
concerns
about
whether
they
will
be
welcome
in
some
courses
that
they
they
haven't
taken
in
the
past
and
how
we
can
really
increase
access
so
that
all
students
feel
comfortable
and
feel
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
to
to
pursue
to
pursue
those
goals
that
they
have
both
in
school,
as
well
as
as
well
as
after
high
school,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
really
looking
ahead
to
next
year.
In
terms
of
what
system
improvements
we
need
to
make.
C
C
We
we
will
be
talking
more
with
our
faculty
and
with
our
leadership
team
around
the
depth
and
breadth
of
the
courses
that
we
offer
our
course
progression,
our
flexible
pathways
and
and
to
provide
more
opportunities
for
our
families
for
our
community,
for
our
parents
and
our
students
to
tell
us
what
courses
you
want
to
take.
C
What
pathways
you
want
to
see
available
and
strengthened,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
work
on
improving
our
systems
and
our
programs
to
to
reflect
what
what
students,
what
what
students
need
and
what
students
and
families
want,
and
with
that.
I
will
turn
it
to
I'm,
not
sure
who's.
Next.
A
B
You
yeah
so
so.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
I
I,
as
I'm
sitting
here
listening
to
all
of
this,
I
am.
I
am
so
impressed
with
our
team.
I
it's
hard
to
believe
that
we
are
still
in
all
of
our
first
years
together
as
a
leadership
team
at
bhs.
B
The
work
that's
happening
behind
the
scenes.
Hopefully
you
are
as
inspired
by
as
we
are
it's.
I
am
so
just
in
awe
and
grateful
for
the
leadership
and
for
the
strength
and
the
vision
and
just
the
the
courage
to
kind
of
dream
big
and
do
things
differently,
even
though
we
still
are
coming
together
as
a
team.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work,
that's
happening.
B
We
are
so
excited
for
all
of
these
things
that
are
that
we're
looking
at
and
we're
analyzing
and
we're
not
afraid
to
kind
of
like
pull
back
and
say
like
this
needs
a
change
and
and
like.
Let's
do
it,
and
let's
do
it
well
to
be
able
to
support
our
students
in
a
variety
of
ways.
B
So
so
thank
you
to
my
team
for
all
of
that
and
for
all
that
you
bring
every
day,
and
so
what
I
want
to
do
is
just
put
a
couple
things
like,
as
we
continue
to
move
through
this
year
like
things
that
are
happening
now,
so
this
next
section
is
kind
of
like
on
your
radar,
so
year-end
studies,
urine
studies
are
coming
back
this
year,
yay
we
also
known
as
our
yes
program.
B
Our
yes
program
happens
on
yes,
we'll
run
from
may
25th
to
june
8th,
so
our
regular
school
year
ends
and
then
we
go
into
our
yes,
our
yes
offerings
that
that
run
up
right
until
like
the
day
before
or
two
days
before,
graduation
registration
will
begin
in
march
for
our
different
programs,
students
either
sign
up
for
two
half
day
sessions
or
one
full
day
session
over
the
course
of
the
yes
over
the
course
of
yes,
we
also
offer
credit
recovery
for
students
as
well,
so
there'll
be
more
information
coming
out
in
march,
but
we
do
want
to
let
you
know
that
yes
is
back
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
planning
on
how
to
make
sure
that
we
can
have
a
really
strong
restart
with.
B
B
I
think
the
one
thing
that's
hard
this
year
is
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
offer
some
of
the
travel
that
we've
offered
in
the
past,
but
we
know
that
that
will
come
back,
and
this
has
provided
us
a
really
amazing
opportunity
to
really
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
connect
with
our
community
partners
to
think
about
how
we
can
work
with
with
different
people
within
and
around
burlington,
through
this
program
so
more
to
come,
but
know
that
students
will
be
able
to
we'll
be
getting
that
those
course
catalogs
after
they
come
back
from
february
break
and
will
be
able
to
sign
up
for
classes
for
yes
sessions.
B
B
Also
winter
formal,
so
we
had
to
postpone
our
winter
formal.
Obviously
that
was
supposed
to
happen
at
the
end
of
january
due
to
the
omicron
surge,
and
we
are
really
excited
that
to
announce
that
we
will
be
that
it
is
not
canceled
that
we
are
still
having
our
winter
formal
winter
farm.
Real
formal
has
been
re
or
has
husband
is
now
scheduled
for
saturday
march
19th
at
the
doubletree
hotel
in
south
burlington.
The
stance
will
be
open
to
grades
9
through
12.
we
do
have.
B
We
still
are
operating
under
guidance.
You
know
within
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
our
communities
safe,
and
so
so
we
are
for
this
stance.
The
stance
will
be
a
bhs
dance.
Only
there
will
be
dates
that
are
allowed
from
other
shenanigan
county
schools.
B
This
we've
been
aligned
with
our
tune
and
county
neighbors
for
this,
as
we've
looked
at
our
winter
formals,
so
just
just
to
put
that
out
there
we
will
be
requiring
or
requiring
excuse
me
vaccination
cards
that
will
be
needed
at
the
time
of
purchase.
I
know
that
we
have.
B
I
want
to
thank
our
community
and
for
those
that
have
sent
their
updated
vaccination
cards
as
we
moved
through
the
last
month
or
so
so
I
know
that
our
nurses
have
that,
but
in
terms
of
our
winter
formal
we
will
be
requiring
vaccination
cards
at
the
time
of
ticket
purchase.
We
also
will
be
handing
out
rapid
antigen
tests
that
will
be
given
to
anyone
that
receives
a
ticket.
B
So
that
way
they
can
test
the
day
of
the
formal
again
just
to
ensure
that
our
community
is
staying
safe
during
this
time
and
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
have
this
for
the
first
time
in
two
years.
So
we
are,
we
are
ready
and
looking
forward
to
march
19th
also
on
the
radar
testing,
so
we
we've
changed
the
way
that
we're
doing
our
testing
this
year
and
we're,
and
so
we
wanted
to
put
this
out
there
on
and
have
this
on
everyone's
radar.
B
Typically,
in
the
spring,
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
disruptions
with
with
just
different
tests
that
are
happening,
whether
it's
standardized
from
the
state
or
act
pre-act,
and
so
this
year
we
have
tried
to
in
try
to
be
able
to
provide
the
space
to
do
testing
for
all
of
our
students
and
also
limit
instructional
disruptions,
but
also
provide
really
really
valuable
space
to
for
students
to
be
able
to
access
and
take
these
tests
in
a
way
that
is,
you
know,
supportive
and
quiet
and
allows
them
to
do
their
best
thinking
so
april
5th
and
6th.
B
We
will
be
our
testing
days.
The
way
that
our
schedule
will
will
work
on
these
days
is
that
our
tests,
our
9th
10th
and
11th
graders,
will
be
testing
in
the
morning
and
then
they
are
able
to
leave
for
an
early
release
day
once
their
testing
is
done
and
then
the
afternoon
will
be
allocated
for
our
seniors
to
do
their
plp.
B
Their
personalized
learning
personalized
learning
plans
their
conferences,
which
is
part
of
their
graduation
requirements,
so
the
plp
conferences
where
they
meet
with
faculty
and
staff
in
the
building
to
talk
about
all
like
their
amazing
high
school
journey
will
happen
on
those
afternoons.
B
We
will
be
putting
out
information
to
our
students,
so
9th
10th
and
11th
graders
that
want
to
participate
and
sit
in
on
senior
conferences
to
be
able
to
see
what
are
see
like
what
a
finnish
plp
looks
like
also
hear
some
of
the
amazing
things
that
their
old,
their
soon-to-be
graduate
or
graduating
peers
have
done
throughout
the
course
of
their
time
at
bhs
that
they
will
have
the
opportunity
to
participate
as
a
as
a
in
those
conferences
on
a
team
if
they'd
like,
and
they
can
also
earn
community
service
hours.
B
For
that.
So
more
information
will
be
going
out
to
students
about
this,
but
we
wanted
to
put
this
on
everyone's
radar,
so
the
fifth
will
be
us
back
ela
for
grade
nine
pre-act
will
be
will
be
happening
also
on
april
5th,
for
all
of
our
10th
graders,
and
those
students
that
are
opting
in
to
take
act
will
also
take
be
testing
on
the
5th
on
the
6th.
We'll
have
sbac
math
test
testing
that
will
be
occurring.
B
Our
10th
graders
will
be
able
to
take
the
smi
which
will
be
providing
us
with
really
solid
data
to
for
for
our
math
or
sorry
about
where
we
are
in
math
and
how
we
can
continue
to
enhance
and
enrich
opportunities
for
students.
You
know
within
within
the
math
department
and
math
classes,
and
then
our
vista
science
11th
grade
exam
will
happen
on
on
april
6th
as
well
so
more
to
come.
But
we
wanted
to
use
this
opportunity
to
just
put
this
on
people's
radar
and
finally
graduation.
B
We
are
already
planning
graduation
as
well.
Our
graduation
is
scheduled
currently
for
june
10th
and
it
will
be
outside
at
52
institute
road.
So
if
anyone
saw
our
ceremony
or
drove
by
the
old
bhs
last
year,
we
will
be
having
a
very
similar
setup
this
year,
where
our
ceremony
will
be
outside,
we
will
have
a
rain
date
and,
just
in
case
the
weather
doesn't
cooperate.
Last
year
was
a
perfect
day
that
it
wasn't
too
hot.
B
It
was
a
little
overcast
and
it
provided
a
really
amazing
twist
and
change
for
how
we've
done
graduation
that
we
wanted
to
continue
that
tradition
this
year.
So
graduation
is
scheduled
for
june
10th
at
the
original
vhs
and
more
information
will
be
to
come,
but
just
to
put
that
on
people's
radar.
B
And
finally,
here
are
just
some
important
dates.
We
know
that
things
happen
really
fast
in
the
lives
of
our
high
schoolers,
and
so
there
are
some
important
dates
for
things
that
are
happening
kind
of
like
upcoming.
But
as
you
look
over
the
course
of
the
coming
months
next
week
is
our
bhs
musical,
the
mystery
of
edwin
drood.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
one.
B
It's
a
charles
dickens,
one
of
his
plays
that
was
left
with
multiple
endings,
so
our
our
audience
gets
to
choose
how
or
what
ending
they
want,
and
so
our
our
students
that
are
really
working
hard
right
now
preparing
for
the
musical
are
also
preparing
all
of
these
different
endings
of
you
know
who
of
the
whodunit
mystery.
So
it's
going
to
be
really
fun.
It's
going
to
be
exciting.
B
It
is
at
in
the
auditorium
at
the
original
bhs,
and
we
will
our
opening
day
is
next
wednesday
february
16th
and
the
show
will
run
wednesday,
thursday
and
friday
of
next
week.
So
please
we
encourage
you
to
come
and
support
our
students
and
also
engage
interactively
in
our
musical
february.
Break
is
right
around
the
corner
february,
2
1st
through
march
1st,
is
when
our
students
will
be
on
february
break,
so
just
wanted
to
remind
people
for
that.
I'm
sure
everyone
is
knows
that
budget
well,
just
in
case
credit
recovery.
B
So
we
more
information
is
going
to
be
coming
about
this.
Our
parent
teacher
conferences
are
slated
for
march
17th
and
18th.
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
looking
to
do
is
also
provide
opportunities
for
students
to
engage
in
credit
recovery
during
the
parent-teacher
conference
window.
So
more
information
will
be
coming
out
about
that,
but
just
to
have
that
on
your
radar.
B
I
just
mentioned
the
testing
and
our
plp
conferences,
which
will
have
a
special
schedule
on
april
6
and
april
or
april
5th
and
6th.
Then
we
go
back
into
april
break
april,
18th
to
the
22nd,
and
then
we
finish
up
our
normal
semester,
two
finishes
on
may
24th
and
then
our
yes
program
launches
on
may
25th
running
through
june
8th.
You
know
with
our
graduation
slated
for
june
10th.
B
Obviously,
if
there
are
snow
days
or
other
things
that
impact
our
schedule,
we
will
be
making
adjustments
as
those
plans
come
out.
But
this
is
our
schedule
right
now
as
it
stands,
and
so
I
know
that
there
are
a
couple.
I
know
we're
also
overtime.
So
thank
you
for
hanging
in
with
us,
as
we've
gone
over
a
little
bit
and
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
any
looks
like
a
couple,
maybe
last
questions
that
we
have
I'm
not
sure
any
or
do
we
kind
of
answer
them
all
as
we
went.
D
We
tried
to
answer
things
as
they
came
up
naturally,
but
folks
could
raise
their
hand.
They
could
throw
things
in
the
chat
we
can
maybe.
A
B
B
We
hope
that
you
found
this
informative
and
provided
a
little
bit
of
information
about
things
that
are
happening
behind
the
scenes
and
we
also
wanted
to
have
you
meet
us
in
a
more
kind
of
familiar
way
and
we
do
look
forward
to
being
able
to
open
up
in
a
lot
of
different
ways
as
we
continue
through
this
year
and
next.
But
thank
you
thank
you
for
entrusting
us
with
your
your
children.
We
we
love
this
job
and
we
take
this
job.
B
Incredibly,
you
know
seriously
and
personally,
as
you
know,
we
all
are
are
in
this
to
ensure
that
our
students
have
the
best
access
to
an
education
that
they
can
have
and
that
these
years
are
meaningful
for
them.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
to
support
us
and
to
support
them.
We
couldn't
do
this
without
you
and
yes,
if
there's
any
additional
questions,
we'll
kind
of
stick
around
for
another
minute,
but
otherwise
thank
you
have
a
good
night
and
we
will
see
you
soon.
D
D
There
is
a
question
in
the
chat
principal
mcgrad
about
having
a
special
ed
meeting
and
whether
a
special
ed
meeting
is
scheduled.
B
So
I'm
not
so
I'm
curious
about
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
means.
If
we
have.
B
C
And
and
transition
meetings
are
happening
now
between
teachers
at
the
high
school
and
the
middle
schools,
to
get
a
sense
of
students
who
are
who
are
on
ieps
and
504s
at
the
middle
school.
So
we
can
get
a
better
sense
of
how
to
support.
That's,
that's
the
first
step
with
those
transitions
and
then
absolutely
having
those
connections
with
with
families,
as
we
get
closer
on
in
the
spring.
B
And
so
megan,
maybe
we
can
connect.
You
know
at
another
time
about
that
specifically,
but
we
continue
to
work
with
our
special
education
again,
I'm
retreating
with
them
tomorrow,
really
around
the
the
programming
and
vision
and
mission.
So
so,
yes,
that
is
active
work
that
that
we
are
working
on.
D
If
I
can
throw
in
a
personal
comment,
having
worked
at
both
the
elementary
school
level
with
some
of
our
students
who
are
coming
up
to
us
next
year,
our
high
school
special
ed
team
is
pretty
phenomenal.
They
just
really
bend
over
backwards
to
connect
with
our
students,
so
you'll
get
more
specific
details,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
plug.
D
We
still
have
a
few,
a
few
attendees
who
are
still
with
us
hanging
on,
so
I'm
just
going
to
jump
in
again
and
say:
if
you
have
a
question,
please
do
feel
free
to
put
it
in
the
chat
or
raise
your
hands.
D
Otherwise
I
don't
want
to
keep
people
hanging
on
if
they
stepped
aside
to
eat
a
bite
of
dinner
while
we
were
presenting.
So
I
don't
want
to
kick
anybody
out
if
they've
got
questions.
