LCAP Update-Public notice will beon May agendaand approval on Juneagenda. B. SmarterBalance Assessment- The 3-8 teachers have all donesome practice testing to preparefor the summativeassessments that begins April 20th.We've worked out a calendarfor thesix weektesting window.I've askedGCOE tech to providehelp in casesomething goes wrong with computers,internet, etc.Although our wirelessconnectivity is muchbetter, we still strugglegetting enough workable laptopsfor largeclasses. We currentlyhave one student whose family optedout of SmarterBalanced Assessments,but is ok with theirchild taking the 5th grade Science assessment. Both5th and 8th grade will still takethe paper and pencil Science assessment in May. C. Hirine Committee-The two teachingpositions are open until April 24th.We havetwo separatepaper screeningand interview committees for thesepositons. When we separatewe'll lookat who we wantto interviewfor 5thgrade and who for 7thgrade. Currently we havel5 applicants.I expect considerably morein thenext few weeks. Interviewsare May l3thand l4th. Committees for theinterview consist of me,two teachers,one board member,and one parent. D. 2015-2016Enrollment- We had22 familiesattend Kindergaften Roundup on April 2nd.One studentcancelled their enrollment request. I am going down the list of lotteryfamilies to fill onemore seat. Wehave 183 kids enrolled for nextyear. All grades5th and below are full, with theexception of next years3rd grade. I amnot actively recruiting anymore for grades7-8, but would accept a goodfit ifthere wasa siblingfrom a gradewe hadopen enrollment for or if someonecomes in seekingenrollment. I amcleaning up thewaiting list for studentswe currentlyhave on file. With boardpermission, I would liketo havea lotteryin May for theremaining kinders on our list for l5-16 schoolyear. E. 2015-2016After SchoolProeram- I havebeen looking into the feasibility ofPlaza School acquiring fundsfrom GCOEto operatean afterschool program. I met with Philip Jamesto seewhat that would looklike. If we wereto do so,we wouldreceive approx. $66,000 from the county program to run it as ourown. All recordkeeping, attendance, and grant writing would be doneby thecounty. They hold l2o/oof theallocated $75.000 for PlazaSchool to usefor theseadministrative costs. By takingover the program, we will beable to hireone additional after school monitor with lessfunds thanthe countybased one. I am anticipatingmore families wanting enrollment next year and am concernedwe will be overthe 20:l ratio. Programmatically,if we acquirethe programwe canrun it how we seefit. I would like to incorporate moreof an interventionmodel for someof theprogram, and would like to ensurethe homework club pieceofit is closelyconnected to theclassroom expectations. I will explainmore about both the financialaspect, including staffing concerns, as well aswhat the program would look like duringour meeting.With boardsupport, I will finalizedetails with GCOEfor boardapproval in theMay meeting. F. 2015-2016Staffine- I will discussseveral staffing related items. One, I havelooked into either hiring someoneor offeringadditional hours to a currentstaff member to do earlymorning cleaning and morningcafeteria duty. I am alsolooking into offeringhours or hiring someoneto work severalhours in the cafeteria.With our increasein enrollmentand two additionalclassrooms, the cafeteriawill needhelp. Lastly,with Trina resigningand Plaza having straight grades next year, I would like to discussour aide schedulefor nextyear. Trina is our only 7 houraide and it will be difficult to replaceher expertise and versatility.This yearshe worked with 4th,7th, 8th graders, as well ascoached, and cafeteria and yard dutysupervision. G. Tower Update- The towerconstruction was completed at the endof March.So far we havenoticed considerablymore speed and have been able to easilyadminister Smarter Balanced practice testing with littleproblems.

Methodology Following a relativist ontology, this research is guided by a social constructionist position, which allows a deep understanding of Millennials’ opinions. To explore their viewpoints on rejuvenation practices of heritage luxury fashion brands, we chose a qualitative method with an abductive approach.

Empirical 18 semi-structured in-depth interviews with German Millennial consumers data were conducted.

  • “Using Inmobi Audiences, We Were Able to Tailor Our Targeting to Reach the Highest Value Consumers” - Angad Grover TRADING MANAGER
    Case Study “Using InMobi Audiences, we were able to tailor our targeting to reach the highest value consumers” - Angad Grover TRADING MANAGER Background News Corp Australia is one of Australia's largest media companies, and the leading digital destination in the country for news, food, lifestyle, property, style, sports and business. The publicly listed company's portfolio of newspapers and magazines are among the most trusted and well-known in the country, with brands such as The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Vogue Australia and GQ Australia leading the way. News Xtend, the brand’s digital marketing division, was built in 2014 to help empower brands to create and deliver powerful digital campaigns. Meriton Suites, Australia’s largest owner-operator of hotel rooms (4,500+ suites) approached News Xtend to help expand their reach across five metro cities in Australia. With their award-winning hotels continually ranking at the top in these five locations, Meriton wanted to capitalize on the opportunity and develop an approach to gain new visibility by targeting specific user groups across advertising demand-side platforms (DSPs) to promote reservations and scale growth. The Challenge Meriton Suites wanted to drive increased awareness and boost conversions among foreign expats and international travelers. The team wanted to target two groups - business professionals and families with kids, as they were Meriton’s highest-value customer groups since they were the most likely to reserve rooms, and reach them with targeted content to drive awareness and inspire purchase. For this, the team needed a highly tailored strategy to analyze and track behaviors that would suggest a high likelihood of interest in international travel and accommodation services.

The big picture view is that the news they report on clearly supports and favors keeping and preserving the status quo and thus the wealth and power of the largest companies and industries on the planet…not the common man. The TV networks, websites, newspapers, magazines owned by Rupert Murdoch have been at best been reluctant to publish or report on anything that doesn’t support the various big businesses that continue to fund their media empire with advertising dollars.
