All right, please I didn't have to go with that more.

It's in this minor.

Thank you.

Hey, thanks a lot.

Hey, I we are really honored to be here today.

I didn't know these work sessions occurred.

You know, this is like a whole mystic thing.

Yeah.

What do they do over there?

Yes.

Yes, now I know what they do over here.

No personal abuse, most traffic.

Well, uh, I'm just gonna ask my team really quickly, except for Miss Minor, who's turning out to be like Michael Jordan, just one word, Lisa to introduce themselves and all of our support stuff.

I'm sorry to break, I am the assistant for Dr.

Lawrence and Ms.

Minor.

Yeah.

Laura Collins, our associate director of education technology.

Okay.

Hello, Lisa Oletsky.

For next generation.

And Aaron to a lady chamber college and career readiness in both sense.

Uh I just want to say that this work is transformational.

And actually, this is a good plug for me.

That's a transformational thing coming up for me.

The mayor is going to marry me on Friday.

So I don't know if Friday at noon.

So I won't be single anymore.

That's a transformation.

Congratulations.

Yeah, all right.

Um, hey, I wanna say that um we um we we believe in system wide work.

Um, and what that means is we do wanna don't get me wrong, we want to be in these positions for as long as possible to get working.

So I'm not asking to be kicked out of the seat of superintendent and ignores my team when I leave.

But we want to put a system together that's a legacy system, one that moves past just our careers here.

Uh I'm gonna say briefly, we mentioned Akron yesterday.

I think it's important to know uh that they had four superintendents.

There were two elections, so two board turnovers, uh, two treasurers, um, and the system kept moving forward.

You look at ACW's graduation rate, all the schools are above 90.

You look at their career pathways, they're all connected, all those experiences are guaranteed.

So I think for us, because we are getting close to retirement, we want our legacy to be a system so that the next superintendent, next assistant superintendent, the next group of young people to come in.

It's not tear up, destroy, and start over, it's continue to build you and the rest of the communities around the region who have helped us put this work together.

So continue to build, not tear down.

And so I just wanted to say that as an opening to a foundation to the work that we're trying to do.

And Miss Minor, I'm gonna turn it over to you.

Okay, thank you, Dr.

Lawrence, and thank you everyone for allowing us to come.

And Mayor Turner Schloss and all the commissioners and your support last night.

We're just overwhelmed with gratitude.

And so we'll go on to the first slide.

Thanks, Matthew, for helping us.

Um, many of you have seen this, uh, and you can see this is our goal, our vision.

And we're very serious about 100% of our students earning these credentials and having these opportunities when they graduate a year after graduation and beyond, they're successfully contributing to their community in multiple ways from the systems we put in place to ensure that all of our students who graduate receive these opportunities and credentials, and our systems that were putting in place will allow that to happen.

So we'll go into the next slide.

One of the things we did when Dr.

Lawrence put the team together uh in 22-23, we had to assess where are we and where are opportunities happening and where are they not?

And so looking at this, we could see a pattern.

The higher achievement, the higher graduation rates, the data attendance, even behaviors, where there were halfways and magnet programs like the arts, those students were performing better.

They had a purpose for coming to school, engagement.

It was a trend.
