In terms of specific areas warranting closer attention based on the trends and comparisons, we're looking at biology, physics, and our world in terms of AP exams. We... Later in the presentation, we also need to look closely at our AP participation a…

When you put certain barriers in place to restrict access, you can control the results a little bit more and a little bit differently. So that's one piece to keep in mind about kind of equity and access generally for our students and our beliefs arou…

and perfected and is ready to go. Yeah. I think from the outside of some of the work we've been doing, the vision map came before New York Inspires was fully fleshed out, but it was almost, like, dovetailing right after. And so when we learned about …

We think that many of our students are going to eventually come up to the high school with very little reliance on cell phones if if the way things are trending nationally and locally continue. So there's sort of a a gradual implementation approach t…

Um, so I'll be honest that I think some of these considerations are worrisome in terms of school culture, but they're considerations um that I think should be talked about nonetheless. Um, so some options that we can do um are to implement or assign …

>> Thanks. I don't know what I like in fact to do with any of that. Probably a lot of things to do. Um but I do want to just add on to the alumni panel. I want to I know that you know, obviously Erica Fiorini was involved and spurred that I do want t…
