Aldine Independent School District

I am excited.

If Brittany Griner stays with the Connecticut Sun when they transition to Houston, I am going to see my friend from the Aldine District finally get to play for her hometown team.

Have you met Brittany Griner before?

Yes, when I went to her book signing, when she had her book in my skin.

And I will be joined by Dr.

Mark Benigni from Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Dr. Joshua Garrett from Wrangell Public Schools in Alaska, and Dr. LaTonya Goffney from Aldine ISD in Texas, who is also the current president of AASA.

And Carla Wade, our CoSN chief of external relations, was our CoSN rep on this, uh, EdTech Quality Collaborative, so she will be joining us as well.

So I hope you all will sign up.

Anybody who benefits from the E-Rate, they're in this coalition.

Joseph "Joey" Wender is executive director of Shelby, the School, Health, Library, and Broadband Coalition, a coalition that advocates more broadly on all universal service fund programs, but is understandably deeply involved in helping to lead our important advocacy on protecting and preserving this program.

Dr. Latanya M. Goffney is AASA president and currently serves as superintendent of Aldine Independent School Districts in Texas.

Megan Sutherland is deputy library director for Prince George's County Memorial Library System.

And our final speaker is John Harrington, CEO for Funds for Learning.

According to a release from the district, the unidentified student suffered a medical emergency inside the gymnasium of General Benjamin O. Davis Junior High School off Ella Boulevard and Greens Road in Aldine sometime Wednesday.

The student was rushed to a hospital where they were pronounced dead.

It's still unknown what exactly happened to the student.

The parents have been notified, and Aldine ISD says it is investigating.

Wow.

And in Aldine ISD, which also has seen great results now two years in a row with CourseMojo expanding there, they are high percentage of multilingual learners in the schools that we've worked with.

So I think what's going on there is we are actually, in a typical classroom, because the teacher is worried about the five grade level span-

Yeah

And we are kind of on the same theme here.

And so I just wanted to follow up and ask, I also had the chance to speak with Dr. Goffney at Aldine ISD and talk about the contribution that she and her district made for Heal High School to happen.
