School Safety and Digital Citizenship Report: Clayton White

Helpful toward education
-- training- digital responsibility: how to effectively use technology that is safe and not harmful (mental & physical)

Internet filtering: iBoss-- not full proof but does a great job
Generated from a National database, automatically updates

Additional management tools: GoGuardian allows teachers to monitor and alerts administration

Student Email Accounts: 

Social Media: the school board made a policy that they do not allow social media on the network
       The team has debates with instagram rather than students getting around the network
       Sometimes educational purposes, sometimes not…..

Mauri teachers digital safety and citizenship--- every single year through the library

(Q: from Laylah) Where does YouTube fall? We have a safe YouTube, some contents are blocked-- a safe youtube site that only shows what you are looking for. Free YouTube downloads. 

Trustlands/ TSSA Plans Data and Budgets:

Funds went to : Mrs. Jex (successful for last year) and 80% proficiency in GoMath (met it)

This year still using funds to pay for Mrs. Jex and new math goal for 80% proficient in iReady assessment
Enough funds for 22.5 teachers-- used to add another third grade teacher

50% of the budget remaining-- for salary. 

Trustlands: Goal #1- met
                 Goal #2- did not meet the reading goal-- covid played a big role with younger grades not meeting goal

Current Goals: Plan was approved last spring- keeping the same goals as last time and breaks down the money 

---Chrome books out of both plans? Yes! One was the touch screens and one was for the upper grades new cart. 

Positive Behaviors Plan:

The state is requiring every school to have this year, to formally submit a plan. 

We need to teach behavior the same way we teach reading and math
---1. Behavior Boot Camp (1st week of school) Same person gave same information to all the students (at their different stations)
---2. Teach Social Skills: (Boys Town) teaches specific skills 
---3. Classroom Rules: This year, we have the same rules school wide
       Consistent so that the same rules apply everywhere. 
       Precision Request: giving students 3 chances to follow the rules
       Discipline Flow CHart: gives more clarity for what teachers vs administrators handle
District wants these in place for classroom management:
---4. Follow the Big5
---5. Teacher vs administration behavior management
