(The following message has been sent to the Principals in the District)
We have received several phone calls at A&SC regarding the President's Address to students on Tuesday. Phone calls have been passionate on both ends of the spectrum. You received a message earlier today from Nick indicating that there is no possible way for the tech department to get things configured for Tuesday. However, it certainly would be possible for individual teachers to access it in their classrooms.
In light of the high parent interest this is generating (both positive and negative), and in light of the fact that it is the first day of school and we have limited ability to communicate with parents prior to the address, I have asked Nick to record a copy of the presentation for viewing at a later date, except for selected secondary classes, such as social studies, where the subject may be appropriate.
This will allow you to communicate with families regarding whether or not they want their children to see it as well as have time to plan and prepare for the setting that it is shown. It will ultimately be up to individual buildings to determine if and when they want to show it to students. If you do choose to show it, you need to provide the opportunity for parents to request that their children not participate.
Parents that contact the A&SC building will be informed that we are not broadcasting it on Tuesday, but that students may have the opportunity to view it in the building at a later date. Parents will be notified of the presentation and will have the opportunity to exclude their child if they choose to do so. Any further questions regarding details of the viewing should be directed their childs building.
