 What I said at that meeting was we are very lucky in San Antonio now I'm going to tell the truth is that we're very lucky in San Antonio I think that what I learned from and it was about 4050 from all over the nation I think I was the only one from Texas and what was very Surprising and scary for me was that there was these color you know career based and college based Non-profit and providers that were going into schools and demanding things And you all know from the history of this organization. We don't go in and do that We work with you to get us to the next level and so I was like okay. How do you go in and demand? Well, we bring in resource it. No, it you know It's got to be a joint partnership and so they were complaining that they didn't get by it Well, that's exactly why because you go in and demand things so that was one of the examples I used and they asked well How do you do that? I said through our transition team and through all these kind of meetings and engagement and being of service To the school districts more than anything rather than going in there and demanding things and I thought that's just I had a very bad vibe From that one conversation. I thought so we came up with these What is the relationship look like between? counselors and other school administrators and service providers is what we came up with and My understanding is that all that will roll out come January on what we feed by we gave them We used part of what Greg was alluding to and we gave you the pre-read which was a counselors and administrators Feedback on how they saw their role and if you remember with a Southwest team when I was with you yesterday I encouraged you to define what the roles were of all the stakeholders in this process Because that's one of the things we found when I was there in Washington was that unless we fully define what everybody's role is so Everybody's accountable to each other then it just comes up whatever whoever's there and whatever happens And that's not what we wanted to be happening So that is it was very intensive two and a half days They put us through and it was very very beneficial, but I do want and tell you that we're very lucky in San Antonio to have the relationships that we have Because that's not what exists in other parts of the nation and so I commend you for that And we thank you on behalf of all the service providers that work with you We thank you for being open to us and helping us as we help you achieve what you've got to do So now that's perfect leadway into our next Activity it's a gallery walk and what you're going to see is we're going to present some Organizations and not all that do this work, but we were selective and just bringing in some and we divided up the gallery walk by a Couple of strands college advising which is what the partnership and advice Texas does and then we divided it into financial aid Because you know in the city We're making great great progress in financial aid and what that and is being led by the chamber But there's a lot of support organizations But we decided let the chamber take the lead on that and then you'll see cafe college as a resource center for all of you And then the last strand is what are we doing in our classroom? So you'll get to learn a little bit more about what Jeff presented this morning as well as the essay ready curriculum that many of You implement in your schools, so we're going to move over into another classroom And so you're going to go out these doors and you're going to move into phase 2 of cafe college And it's in that big classroom, and you'll see the setup Oh in your packet Remember in your packet Jean Howard, you know last minute planning in your packet We put some information on the upcoming college week in San Antonio So you have a at the it should be on the left-hand side pocket At the very very back you'll have some basic information on the college week And then we also have a form in there where we want to kind of start outlining your commitment To get behind this effort remember it's a full week that we do have activities We have activities from elementary school students all the way up to our Seniors that are graduating with college signing day and all that so if you'll read through some of that It gives you some of the details But we do need to start making sure that our school districts put this on their radar and that of the buses are our Appropriated and scheduled We I know that Greg in the past has has profiled our college week as have other people Across the nation profile what we do for college week So we do encourage you the school districts to make sure it's on your radar We are doing the same thing with all the college access providers through the college access access network And so that we make sure we're all on the same page for college week If you have any questions about college week gene or I or Maria Gira from Gen Tech's Judy McCormick, we could give you some more information on that The other thing that I know came up in the conversations yesterday was a data portal The education partnership is one of the leads under the data portal some of you have seen it But the data portal is basically a dashboard where we will all be able to enter Specific student by student information So it will be already preset with all the data sets from the corning board from clearing house from Department of Ed Any sets data sets that we have will be pre-populated It's under actually the leadership and with the assistance of educate Texas who helped us get our data portal Situated and going here in San Antonio. And so and actually we're further advanced than the other cities that are doing it But just saying because we're real competitive, you know that So part of what it does is it allows is it's it's piloted by four school districts Which is which are you for and then there's four college access providers Communities in schools city year the education partnership and advice Texas And what we're going to be doing is if one of my advisors at linear high school goes in and does the pin With the student for FAFSA then we will annotate that so that when the advice Texas Advisor is there and working with that student There's no going back to figure out what you did and what you didn't do so it's very student-based Accountability of what we're all doing with the students so we don't step on each other We took we don't duplicate services so holistically all of us combined can then do with a student What needs to be done to achieve what you've identified here? It will have AP scores a CT scores SAT scores They will have all that on the data portal for all of us to look at Eventually our faces as we go through this will be that we will be able to parents will actually be able to get on to the data Portal as well and just like y'all did the dots It's almost that kind of a system where we will identify things that will need to be done with each student and then we will we can get aggregate form of types of Reports we can say that many students were helped this month with FAFSA that many students were helped with apply Texas It allows us to do all those kind of aggregate information So we had asked for some still shots to try and show you we didn't get those But those of you who've been I know that Roxanne's been involved with it and Renee and Samantha and Brenda Liz and Nancy and of course Debbie from Northside have been involved with it heavily So if you have any other more information you'd like so we've seen a live demonstration recently What about a week two weeks ago my my week's blend? So we were able to see the latest and it's looking really really good some of the things that have come up have been Because you know, this is a learning experience for all of us. It's been about when do the districts close off their files I know that we decided that as a group we had to keep Active our students on a little later into the summer to allow for the transition work because we're going to document What organizations like the education partnership are doing that summer after they graduate with that transition work? Because it's very very very key Those of you who received your FAFSA information from me when we ran the reports in May We had a 34% completion rate of FAFSA in the city when we ran it in this last report Which is that in September we had a 54 So a lot happens in that summer and we can't forget that and if we all close our data sets off As soon as graduation hits we lose that richness of what is happening and how much our students are doing that summer So I do want to point out it is very very critical and we talked about it in that last meeting We had on the data portal that that those three months are making and break it for our kids Like it is it's when they actually have to show up on the college campuses And a lot of them as you all know are not and so it's important that we have the support from the district to be able to document for you what is happening and what we're doing in organizations like the partnership to get those students and Many times hand-holding and meeting them at the college campuses. That's our work in the summer So it's very very important that we still keep those live data sets going a little bit longer I know we discussed email I think was one of the things that some of you have your email systems for the students and they graduate It gets cut off, but they're not on the email systems at the colleges and universities So the education partnership has nowhere to reach that student and so we that was one thing we talked about all together That perhaps we can be leaving Some of those windows of communication with the students open a little bit more so the data portal is there We will launch it very very soon. We were hoping to have launched it by now, but I know there's it's a system Change and we all have to be sure we're on the same page So if you have any other questions, there's leads within your own districts or Jean Russell or myself Can go ahead and help you with that. So we're gonna move to the next room now, and then we'll continue over there
