  • Comprehensive Needs Assessment/Integrated Action Plan
    • Integrated Action Plan goals and objectives are reviewed via survey, PTSO meetings, PLC meetings, and during Board Meetings.  JM gathered information, completed the FY 2024 Comprehensive Needs Assessment based on the data results, and is in the process of completing the District (LIAP) and School (SIAP) Integrated Action Plans.  The LIAP and SIAP form the basis for the development of federal grant funding budgets such as Title I, Title II, Title IV and ESSER.

 

  • Phased Cyber Security Transition Plan
    • In an effort to increase cyber security and meet cyber insurance requirements, Presidio is moving forward with increased cyber security measures.  All 4 of the Cyber Security measures listed are being offered to Presidio via the AZ Department of Homeland Security and AZED Technology for FREE!  It is NOT a grant, but those two departments are paying for it to help ensure schools are secure and can meet the requirements of the Cyber Insurance Companies and currently plan to continue purchasing these indefinitely.  The Four Cyber Security Measures that are offered:
  1. Thales – Multi-Factor Authorization
  • Creates a secondary “password” that is more protected
  1. Tanium – Converged Endpoint Management
    • Allows viewing and monitoring software etc on PCs on our domain
  1. Crowdstrike – Virus Protection etc for endpoints
    • Would replace Sophos (so we will wait for this until Sophos is going to expire)
  1. Cloudflare – Cloud Firewall Protections
    • Would replace our current on premises firewall. (So again, we will wait until our current firewall is going to expire)

Principal’s Report

  • Event Update
    • PTSO January 27, 2023 Community Night was successful with about 60 attendees.  Some families dropped off their children and used the event as a “free babysitting” opportunity, so PTSO will discuss how to address this for future events.
    • K-2 Round Up is scheduled for Saturday, February 11, 2023.  JM has passed out flyers to local preschools, flyers have been emailed to various zip codes, and information about the event has been posted on the marquee.
    • STEM Festival is scheduled for February 22, 2023.  Students in grades 8-12 will attend a College and Career Fair and complete ECAPS in lieu of the STEM Festival, which will also serve as an 8th grade “step up” day.  Activities include: creating fossils, construction projects, and a FFA/petting zoo.
    • Prom has been rescheduled for April 15, 2023 at the Crystal Event Center.  CCCR students are in the process of scheduling the caterer and polling the high school students’ preferred theme.
  • ESSER II and III Programmatic Review
    • Presidio has been randomly selected to participate in another ESSER II and III Programmatic review, scheduled for the end of April.  Presidio has already participated in one programmatic review, so this is a follow up to review data obtained and discuss progress on larger projects, such as the 1695 courtyard.
  • June 2023 Summer Remediation/Credit Recovery and Enrichment
    • JM polled Presidio staff to gather information about interest in teaching/working over the summer and EF posted job listings for summer remediation teachers and paraprofessionals.  Information is scheduled to go out to families after Q3 report card grades are finalized.
