Last night's meeting lasted around five hours, hitting on many important topics. Before the official meeting, the School Committee hosted its third and final budget hearing for the FY26 budget. The Superintendent and her team answered questions from School Committee members, including inquiries about the role of federal funding in the budget, how long-term goals are achieved in the budget, and the cuts made to community advancement programs. Questions were also asked about accelerating student performance, which was highlighted in a recent report published by the Boston Policy Institute. Following the conclusion of the budget meeting, the regular School Committee meeting began. Chair Robinson announced that the district had reached a tentative agreement with the Boston Teachers Union following months of negotiation. While main details were not discussed, the Superintendent and her team said that they would provide an update at a future meeting. Following this, the meeting moved into public comment, where nearly every speaker was a community member representing schools on the proposed closure and merger list voicing their pleas to keep their school communities open. After public comment and quick votes on grants and the renaming of the Sumner/Philbrick school, the School Committee voted on the Core Program Statement of Interest to the MSBA for Madison Park Vocational High School. Last month, during a City Council hearing, the Mayor's team announced plans to seek MSBA funding for a new Madison Park facility, with the estimated cost rising to nearly $700 million—up from the originally earmarked $500 million. While there was not much further discussion after last meeting's comprehensive discussion, School Committee members did question what alternative plans were in place if the district did not receive the money. Once again, the O'Bryant School was only tangentially mentioned and there was minimal discussion about what the future will hold for that community. In the end, the School Committee unanimously voted to approve the Statement of Interest. Finally, the School Committee meeting ended with a vote on the aforementioned school closures and mergers. The public comment during the evening was filled with tangible emotion from community members, and it was clear that this carried over to School Committee members as well. Multiple School Committee members harped on the difficulty of these decisions and the necessity of making hard choices for the benefit of long term district health. The Superintendent and her team responded to questions about how educators will be supported during the transition as well as the assistance BPS is offering to families that will be forced to change schools. Moreover, the Superintendent stated that no child reassigned during this process would be forced to leave their current school again. However, due to the lack of a long-term facilities plan, there is no way to track this across the district; hence, it is unclear how this process will occur. Nevertheless, their answers seemed to satisfy the School Committee as the closure and merger plan passed by a vote of five to one. The shift in facilities will take place in June 2026.  Next week, the School Committee will vote on the revised budget. The meeting will take place on March 26th at 6:30pm. Looking forward, the Superintendent noted that we will hear about the new contract with the BTU in April. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last night's meeting was a jam packed meeting covering many important topics. The meeting began with the Superintendent's Report, where she provided an extremely brief update on transformation schools. This update is a requirement as part of the district's Systemic Improvement Plan with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and usually provides insights and data about some of the lowest performing schools in the district. However, the Superintendent's team did not provide these data points and insights. The Superintendent also highlighted acceleration academies that took place during February vacation, but did not discuss the impact of this strategy on student performance. School Committee members raised concerns about the lack of data presented, as well as highlighting the need for better procedures to ensure that data requested to the School Committee is actually presented in a timely fashion.   Following a public comment period that raised issues regarding topics such as facilities and exam schools, and quick votes on grants and approval of the accelerated repair project submissions to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), the School Committee voted on the competency determination requirement for the class of 2025. As the state continues to lack a revised, temporary policy for the state's competency determination, schools districts across the state are creating their own revised policy. The Superintendent and her team proposed a policy that requires current seniors to earn a passing grade from a list of coursework if they did not previously pass the MCAS. Last night's vote was preceded by conversation about the usage of the MCAS as a graduation requirement, which the district is allowed to utilize. While the School Committee engaged in a conversation that explored this and how the competency determination connects to its graduation requirements, the conversation was cut short after the Superintendent's team noted they needed to act on only the competency determination, and the School Committee voted in favor of the policy unanimously. The committee then heard two quick reports on an update from the Boston Student Advisory Council and the naming of the Sumner/Philbrick school to the Sarah Roberts Elementary School.   The final discussion focused on a Core Program Statement of Interest to the MSBA for Madison Park Vocational High School. Last month, during a City Council hearing, the Mayor's team announced plans to seek MSBA funding for a new Madison Park facility, with the estimated cost rising to nearly $700 million—up from the originally earmarked $500 million. Committee members raised concerns about the absence of the O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science, which shares the same building, in the proposal. They also questioned the city's backup plan if MSBA funding is not secured and how the district plans to increase Madison Park's enrollment by 1,000 students. As these concerns remain unresolved, a vote is scheduled for the next meeting on March 20.   Over the next several weeks, the School Committee will hold several public budget hearings (March 5th @ 5:30pm, March 19th @ 5:30pm) and will vote on the final budget on March 26th. The next School Committee meeting will be on March 20th at 6:30pm on Zoom, which will be preceded by a budget hearing at 5:30pm. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last night's meeting was full of reports and initiated the kickoff to the FY26 budget process. After a short Superintendent's report and lengthy public comment period, the committee voted for a minor revision on the revised exam school admissions policy, which reduces the number of tiers from eight to four, with each tier receiving an equal allocation of invitations. The School Committee has voted on numerous adjustments to the policy year after year and School Committee members continued to raise questions about the distribution of bonus points via schools rather than individuals, a solution that supports the core intent of the policy, before ultimately approving the policy.   The School Committee heard three reports last night. The first report was a proposal for accelerated repair funding from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). While the district typically presents proposals every year for funding from the MSBA, School Committee members raised major concerns about funding these projects without a long-term facilities plan to guide the work. Missing from the report was the news that the City would be seeking funding from the MSBA to renovate Madison Park, which is a reversal from the City's promise last year to fund a renovation of Madison Park quickly using funds from the City of Boston.   The second report of the night was an update on the competency determination– or graduation requirement– for the Class of 2025. Following the passage of Question 2 on the November ballot to remove the MCAS as a graduation requirement, the district and state have yet to come up with updated graduation requirements. Last night, the district announced that students who did not pass the MCAS would need to pass certain approved courses in English, Math, and Science. There was much discussion over the lack of guidance and support from the state in defining graduation standards. The School Committee did not discuss the implications of the district's alignment to MassCore as their graduation requirement starting next year when only 51% of students completed the requirement last year.   The final report of the evening was the Superintendent's FY26 preliminary budget. This report kicked off the FY26 budget process, which will culminate in a final proposal that will be voted on in March. This year's budget is $1.58 billion, which is a $53 million increase from last year. While the report discussed investments in certain areas, School Committee members raised major concerns over the goals and impact of these investments. These concerns were compounded by the recent release of NAEP results, which show that only 31% of 4th graders scored proficient in reading, and only 26% of 8th graders scored proficient. As the results show widening achievement gaps and increased spending, there was no discussion as to how the budget would address these gaps.   Over the next several weeks, the School Committee will hold several public budget hearings (February 13th @ 5:30pm, March 5th @ 5:30pm, March 19th @ 5:30pm) and will vote on the final budget on March 26th. The next School Committee meeting will be on February 26th at 5:30pm on Zoom.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We continue our series of conversations about Artificial Intelligence and how it's changing the world around us. Today's episode focuses on the use of AI in the financial sector and both it's potential strengths and weaknesses.Joining the show to help us start making sense of it all is Jessica Ellett. Jessica is a senior manager and lead modeler at Cambridge Technology, a financial services technology startup. Jessica is also an MSBA graduate from the David Eccles School of Business. Jessica shares her insights on developing AI-operationalized applications for large banks, highlighting tools like loan processing applications, financial report generation, and predictive trade outcome models. Frances and Jessica cover the concept of 'human in the middle' AI and the importance of human involvement in AI processes. Jessica also touches on concerns around AI bias, data privacy, and the critical need for business-led AI projects. Jessica also looks forward to what she predicts the landscape of her industry could look like in five years. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University fm.Show Links:Jessica Ellett | LinkedInCTFSI - Cambridge Technology Financial Services Inc.Master of Science in Business Analytics - The David Eccles School of BusinessDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) • InstagramEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) • Instagram Eccles Experience MagazineEpisode Quotes:How the MSBA programme equipped Jessica to be a voice in the AI space[37:02]: When I first finished in 2018 with the MSBA program, I got multiple job offers afterwards when we moved here to Charlotte, North Carolina. And, often, it was kind of an undefined structure. Hey, what can you help us do? What can you help us know or ask? Help us do this in a better way, or help us ask the right questions. And so I think it's still young enough—I mean, the whole program, data science programs, MSBA programs—within the last 10 years, I would consider that a really young program. And so new talent coming out of those are going to be the thought leaders on how AI gets adopted and how these programs run at different companies. And think about that. So you come out of this program and you think, "Well, I don't know much. I just got this degree, or I don't have a lot of application." But people are willing to listen to you because you've had focused study on this topic more than they have, so for better or for worse, you're going to be a voice in that space.How AI works best with people by having the human in the middle[07:24]: Think of AI as the best assistant you've ever had, but you need the right systems or processes in place to interact with that assistant to get the most out of them, right? So, it's not just building or designing the perfect assistant. It's when am I going to use them? How am I going to use the output? How do I give it the right information to get out of it? What I want—all that interaction. That's human in the middle. You have to design that well to get the most out of it.Why do AI projects need to align with business goals?[41:18]: I'd say AI projects need to align with the business goals, not just tech advancements. You have a shiny new tool, and you want to use it but don't lose sight of what the business goal is. Using a shiny new tool could be expensive. If you suddenly have to build the whole machine that it fits with, that could get expensive. So, I'd say that transformation has to have a business-led approach because it has to align with the business goals. And if none of the business goals are ready or positioned to need AI—which is hard to believe—but it could be possible, then it doesn't fit in the plan or the goals.

How important is it for businesses to increase their profits each year or offer fair wages to workers of all types? How do you think businesses are doing in these areas or, even in other areas, such as operating in a way that is sustainable for the environment and the planet? A Gallup poll of more than 5700 people provided responses to these questions and it was natural to ask how these questions might be connected and whether the pattern of connection differed between groups. Using networks to understand the connection between opinions about how businesses function is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guests Dr. Moinak Bhaduri and Bahareh Zahirodini. Dr. Moinak Bhaduri is an assistant professor at Bently University and studies spatio-temporal Poisson processes and others like the self-exciting Hawkes or log Dr. Gaussian Cox processes that are natural generalizations.

Last night's School Committee meeting was the last meeting before the School Committee votes on the Superintendent's FY25 budget. The meeting was preceded by the last public budget hearing for the Superintendent's FY25 budget proposal. During the hearing, nearly 30 individuals offered public comments, the bulk of which concerned the district's shift towards a new inclusion model. A considerable number of teachers shared their concerns and confusion regarding the planning and approval process for their schools, emphasizing the pressing need for adequate funding. Meanwhile, families provided heartfelt testimonies on the potential effects of these changes on their children. Comments also touched upon athletic investments, especially those related to White Stadium. These comments came after a lawsuit threatened the plan to renovate White Stadium, and comments from Mayor Wu that the project will not go forward if the planned partnership with the Boston Unity Soccer Partners does not work. Following the hearing, the School Committee meeting commenced, where the Superintendent's Report highlighted some positive news regarding athletics, facilities, and an increase in mental health funding for schools from a federal grant. Additional public comments further highlighted confusion and concern about the district's plan for full inclusion models. The School Committee then voted on a few items. They unanimously voted in favor to submit a statement of interest to the MSBA for a new building for the BCLA-McCormack. Members again raised questions about how this initiative fits within the district's broader capital planning strategy and the contingency plans if MSBA funding is not secured. The Committee also then voted in favor of the submission of renewal for the Student Opportunity Act, a requirement by the state. The evening concluded with a final discussion on the Superintendent's FY25 budget. This conversation was significantly influenced by the district's decision to move away from the Weighted Student Funding (WSF) model, which had allocated funds based on individual student needs. This strategic pivot, aimed at sustaining schools experiencing enrollment declines, prompted Committee members to express concerns about the future of funding and the usage of soft landings to continue to fund schools. Specifically, they highlighted the trend of declining enrollment, and the potential challenges of reduced tax revenue and the pressure to make effective financial decisions in the face of these changes.

Last night's meeting featured a significant announcement about school facilities, a focus on student data and the continued theme of School Committee members advocating for more detailed planning. The meeting also saw City Councilor Brian Worrell emphasizing the City Council's intention to play a greater role in managing the school department's budget. The meeting began with the Superintendent's Report, in which Superintendent Skipper revealed that the O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science will stay in Roxbury, reversing the previously suggested move to West Roxbury. This decision came after months of public testimony supporting its retention in Roxbury. Additionally, Superintendent Skipper reiterated plans to renovate Madison Park Technical Vocational High School but did not provide essential details such as the project's budget, enrollment projections, or an overarching vision.  The Superintendent then discussed transformation schools as part of her state-mandated quarterly update to the School Committee. She shared data highlighting troubling trends, including low student growth and literacy rates, coupled with high levels of chronic absenteeism at the high school level. These findings led School Committee members to voice their concerns and call for substantial improvements. The evening's first report concerned an application to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for a new building for the BCLA/McCormack. In last month's State of the City address, Mayor Wu announced a partnership between the BCLA/McCormack and UMass Boston to create a community hub school. The report outlined the district's request for MSBA funding for a new facility but lacked crucial details such as the budget, curriculum strategy, partnership dynamics with UMass Boston, community demand data, and potential impacts on other school communities. The absence of these details prompted numerous questions from School Committee members about the strategy and broader vision, especially given the lack of a comprehensive master facilities plan. The second report addressed the Student Opportunity Act, a legislative initiative aimed at providing additional funding to Massachusetts districts to close achievement gaps and enhance educational quality. It covered initiatives and data points that seem to have a limited impact on student outcomes, leading some Committee members to reserve their support pending further clarification of their questions and concerns.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del jueves 22 de junio de 2023: La Autoridad de Construcción Escolar de Massachusetts (MSBA por sus siglas en inglés) acordó el miércoles pagar una parte de los costos de construcción de una nueva escuela secundaria para Holyoke, allanando el camino para que el proyecto avance. Esta fue la aprobación final que Holyoke necesitaba para construir una nueva escuela intermedia en el sitio donde ahora se encuentra la escuela William R. Peck. La MSBA acordó reembolsar $46 millones del costo, dejando a la ciudad de Holyoke responsable de los $40 millones restantes del costo total de $85,504,592. El alcalde de Holyoke, Joshua A. García dijo que con la aprobación de MSBA ahora se podrá proceder con la demolición de la Escuela Peck a finales de este verano. García agradeció el apoyo financiero de la MSBA y al Concejo Municipal de Holyoke, ya que su voto unánime de apoyo el 6 de junio demuestra un compromiso compartido de ayudar a pagar y construir esta nueva escuela, considerada muy necesaria. Cuando abra en otoño o invierno de 2025, la nueva escuela intermedia atenderá aproximadamente a 550 estudiantes en los grados 6-8. FUENTE: HOLYOKE MEDIA Por primera vez, los reguladores estadounidenses aprobaron el miércoles la venta de pollo elaborado con células animales, lo que permitió a dos empresas de California ofrecer carne "cultivada en laboratorio" a las mesas de los restaurantes del país y eventualmente, a los estantes de los supermercados. El Departamento de Agricultura dio luz verde a Upside Foods y Good Meat, empresas que habían estado compitiendo para ser las primeras en los Estados Unidos en vender carne que no proviene de animales sacrificados, lo que ahora se conoce como "cultivado en células" o carne “cultivada” tal como sale del laboratorio y llega a los platos. La medida inicia una nueva era de producción de carne destinada a eliminar el daño a los animales y reducir drásticamente los impactos ambientales del pastoreo, el cultivo de alimentos para animales y los desechos animales. Las empresas recibieron la aprobación de las inspecciones federales requeridas para vender carne y aves en los EE. UU. La acción se produjo meses después de que la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos de los EE. UU. considerara que los productos de ambas empresas son seguros para el consumo. Una empresa de fabricación llamada Joinn Biologics, que trabaja con Good Meat, también recibió autorización para fabricar los productos. La carne cultivada se cultiva en tanques de acero, utilizando células que provienen de un animal vivo, un óvulo fertilizado o un banco especial de células almacenadas. En el caso de Upside, sale en láminas grandes que luego se forman en formas como chuletas de pollo y salchichas. Good Meat, que ya vende carne cultivada en Singapur, el primer país en permitirlo, convierte masas de células de pollo en chuletas, nuggets y carne desmenuzada. FUENTE: AP

A discussion with Scott Radcliffe, Managing Director, Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) Program, Emory University. Prior roles at Cox Communications, SAS, IBM, and Home Depot.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del martes 14 de febrero de 2023: La Ciudad de Holyoke ha firmado un contrato con la firma de arquitectura/diseño Mount Vernon Group para el trabajo de diseño esquemático para una nueva escuela intermedia propuesta para reemplazar a la Escuela Peck. El Concejo Municipal previamente asignó fondos para pagar este trabajo como parte de un estudio de factibilidad para el proyecto. La decisión de la ciudad de seleccionar la propuesta de Mount Vernon Group siguió a un proceso de cuatro meses de solicitud y revisión de propuestas bajo el programa de "escuela modelo" de la Autoridad de Construcción Escolar de Massachusetts. El Comité de Construcción Escolar realizó entrevistas con tres firmas de arquitectura/diseño. Las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke están rezonificando para crear distintas escuelas primarias e intermedias para el otoño de 2023, al mismo tiempo que reimaginan su programa de escuela intermedia para fortalecer las oportunidades de aprendizaje educativo para los estudiantes en los grados 6-8. Como parte de este proceso de reinvención, Holyoke está considerando la construcción de una nueva escuela secundaria para reemplazar la escuela secundaria William R. Peck, pobremente diseñada y de bajo consumo energético, que ya no satisface las necesidades de una educación moderna. Según el plan de rezonificación, el edificio Peck se cerrará al final del año escolar 2022-23. La Escuela Sullivan, Holyoke STEM y la Escuela Intermedia Metcalf recibirán estudiantes en los grados 6-8 a partir del otoño de 2023. La Ciudad de Holyoke, las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke y la Autoridad de Construcción Escolar de Massachusetts (MSBA) están trabajando juntos para tratar de construir una nueva escuela intermedia para aproximadamente 550 estudiantes en los grados 6-8. Si el Concejo Municipal y MSBA aprueban los fondos, la Escuela Peck existente sería demolida y se construiría una nueva escuela en ese sitio para el otoño de 2025 o 2026. Los estudiantes asignados a Holyoke STEM y Metcalf Middle asistirían a la nueva escuela construida sobre el sitio de la Escuela Peck. Se espera que Mount Vernon Group complete el trabajo de diseño para la nueva escuela intermedia propuesta a fines de abril para que pueda enviarse a la MSBA para su revisión y consideración. La Ciudad de Holyoke anticipa que la MSBA votará el 27 de junio para aprobar el proyecto y asignar su parte de los fondos necesarios para construir una nueva escuela intermedia. En mayo o junio, se espera que el alcalde de Holyoke, Joshua A. García, y los miembros del Comité de Construcción Escolar presenten una solicitud financiera al Concejo Municipal para cubrir la parte de los costos de construcción de la nueva escuela que le corresponde a la ciudad. El Concejo Municipal entonces tendría que votar sobre esa solicitud. FUENTE: HOLYOKE MEDIA

Did you know that Cornell Johnson has the largest Executive MBA program in the United States with four distinct flavors? I didn't, but let's learn together about Johnson's EMBA program, its unique distributed classroom, and how to get in from its dean and director. [SHOW SUMMARY] Welcome to the 506th episode of Admission Straight Talk, Accepted's podcast. Thanks for tuning in. Before I dive into today's interview, I want to invite you to download Ace the EMBA, expert advice for the rising executive. This free guide will compliment today's podcast and give you suggestions on how to choose the right EMBA program for you, differentiate yourself from your competition in a positive way and present yourself effectively as a future business leader, who will bring credit to any program that accepts you. It gives me great pleasure to have for the first time on Admissions Straight Talk, Dean Mark Nelson, the Anne and Elmer Lindseth Dean and Professor of Accounting at Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management, and Dr. Manoj Thomas, Senior Director of EMBA and MSBA programs, and the Nakashimato Professor of Marketing, also at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management. Dr. Nelson and Dr. Thomas, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [Dean Mark Nelson] Thanks for having us. [Dr. Manoj Thomas] Thank you, Linda, delighted to be here. Dean Nelson, what makes a Cornell Executive MBA program different from other EMBA programs? [1:55] [Dean Mark Nelson] That's a great question, Linda. I mean, first off is the fact that we have these four different flavors of a Cornell MBA. And that's very intentional, it's been developed over time. We started initially with our Metro EMBA program, which is based in New York City, and which is focused on a general management EMBA, providing that jurisdiction, that market. Second, then we have our Americas EMBA program, and that's a really unique program where we're reaching out to executives throughout the Americas using our own unique approach to distributed learning. And then third, we created an FMBA program, a collaboration with Tsinghua University, a finance-focused EMBA, and that's bilingual and offered in Beijing. And then fourth, we have our MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program, which is providing both an EMBA and also an MS in healthcare from two great institutions, the Johnson School and the Weill Cornell Medicine. And so I go through that because the unique combination here is that we've got a general interest EMBA in New York, we've got something focused in the healthcare sector, we've got something that's a unique and leading program in China, and then this Americas program serving the Americas. And I see that as a pretty special and unique roster of great EMBA programs. Now, when you think about what's the spine that relates all these together, there's a couple things that I'd shout out, and then I'd maybe ask my colleague, Manoj, if there's anything he wants to add in. One is that in all of these programs, we have a team-based learning approach that we think is really, really important. And by that I mean that we have students that, of course they're performing individually, but they're also on small teams, they're coached, they're assessed, they're given feedback. So we think of business as a team sport, and the ability of these executives to deliver exceptionally well in that context, we think it's really important and so we're very intentional about how we go about that approach. It is the case that in all of these programs, the students are working on problems that they're addressing at work right now, so they're able to put it into practice, and we think that team-based approach is really key. And I guess the other thing that is unique, not only about the EMBA programs but about Cornell is that we have our Cornell Tech campus in New York City. So we are based in Ithaca, New York, but what a lot of people don't realize is that we won the oppo...

Tifanne Wolter an attorney at Henningson & Snoxell and Chair of the Family Law Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association joins Tom to discuss the gradual re-opening of the family court divisions across Minnesota. She has participated in meetings with both the judicial branch and the bar to gain some insight into path the courts and family law professionals are taking to ramp up activity. In addition, she addresses some possible legislative changes, for example, around child support and the paralegal practice pilot project, that may still be enacted.
