Welcome to ANI in the air online and around Baltimore daily podcast briefing of the goings-on ends and arounds at very arts and ideas survey school
0:09
so today we had
0:13
school meeting
0:14
Which was pretty short just?
0:16
Basically some announcements
0:20
You know, there'll be the field day
0:24
On Wednesday
0:28
and from I believe 11 to 2 so it's just like last week on Wednesday and then
0:34
You know, they'll be a creative writing meeting on Monday
0:39
We are closed officially from Wednesday to Friday
0:43
for Thanksgiving break although
0:46
What that entirely means in this context is unclear
0:49
But I mean people can use discord whenever they want and connect with whoever they want whenever they want
0:56
but I certainly will be
0:58
not doing my podcasts and
1:01
Know that I might do some programming of avocado. I hope to do that. We'll see
1:08
We also had the assembly meeting last night
1:13
Well, yeah, I guess so. I am recording this in the morning night after cuz
1:19
assembly went late, but
1:24
We basically talked about the school's finances and
1:29
The staff had
1:34
particularly me had two proposals about sort of a
1:37
if we drop below a certain level in our savings staff salaries get you know, shut to zero and
1:43
Another one wants to use the emergency funds for to pay for the boilers
1:53
So
1:55
You know that was
1:57
Kind of you know
1:59
just sort of a minimal thing that we needed to do and then
2:02
The parent decided after hearing about our finances and discussing decided to say, you know, what? Why don't we set the
2:10
Tuition to 400 a month for being online. So this is raising
2:18
what's expected of people who are online and
2:22
Lowering that of those who were in person. I think it makes some sense
2:26
By being fully online the people who were online now have a much richer
2:32
Community focused on you know online needs. I mean they were still connected before but
2:39
Now there's a lot more possibilities and potentials
2:44
That's what we got. That's all we got. So their value is going up
2:51
Whereas the people who are in person, you know, they lose a lot of not being in person
2:55
but that number also happens to be
2:59
The
3:03
Number that if all of our students did represent $400 a month then we would we would be financially fine
3:11
So, we'll see if we can
3:15
Achieve that I
3:21
Don't know hopefully we can but it was a very good supportive conversation
3:27
Appreciated everyone who came out for that
3:29
It was really nice and useful
3:34
All right, so we are closed for the next few days so you will hear from me again on one day I hope
3:42
Talk to you later. Bye. Bye. Oh
3:45
Wait
3:48
Before I go I should also mention there was talk about Tuesday. I recorded that
3:52
Basically was inspired by I thought I had during the assembly meeting
3:56
Namely that you know
4:00
students can make the
4:02
The best of what they got and that's really a large part of what the school is
4:06
You dropped in to this community. You've got resources. You got people and you got to figure out what to do and
4:13
Online is still roughly that stroke. It's just
4:19
It's a little harder to see people. It's a little harder to
4:22
you know do things like play with sticks with other people in community, but
4:27
It is what it is
4:31
So anyway, that's uh, that's what I talked about
4:34
Talk about Tuesday podcast. All right. Um, have a good
4:39
Have a good five days, I guess
