Oh, how quickly we forget. Just a few short months ago, every media outlet and social media platform was reporting on the devastation inflicted by Hurricane Harvey on Houston and surrounding areas. Before the residents of Texas could all be rescued, Hurricane Irma tore through Florida, Puerto Rico, and neighboring islands leaving record flooding and devastation in its wake. But Mother Nature’s tantrum was far from over. Wildfires ran rampant out west burning homes and destroying crops and ranches. Not to mention, the 7.1 earthquake that rocked Central Mexico.

But here we are, just a few short months from Harvey’s first landfall, and comparatively speaking, it is radio silence. In today’s times, media moves at the speed of light and has been given the power to shape what society sees, hears and subsequently devotes their attention to.

They’ve moved on, so we’ve moved on.

But take a moment and think back.

When images of elderly citizens sitting in their wheelchairs stranded waist-deep in water crossed your computer screen, were you horrified? When stories of teenagers using their fishing boat to rescue their neighbors made it in your Facebook feed, were you inspired? When you heard a gospel choir leader lift spirits at a Conroe Texas shelter with her angelic voice, did you too feel your hope renewed?

Did the actions of our fellow countrymen and women ignite a fire in you to be more? To do more? Did you hear a little voice in your head or have a tug in your heart that said you had something more to give?

Before we get caught up in the next political battle or Kardashian escapade, I challenge you to not let our high-speed news cycle and the latest Facebook algorithm put out that fire. Do not let it silence that voice.

Each and every one of you brings something special and unique to this world. There is no other person who has the exact same background, passions, and talents as you.

As those impacted by all this recent devastation begin the long road of rebuilding, it is our time to begin service to our community.

Were you inspired by the work of a particular volunteer organization? Contact them to see how you can join.

Did you envy the impact someone was able to make from their place of employment and have you been looking for a career change? Research what jobs are available.

Perhaps you realized that your prayers have been focused inward and you vowed to express more gratitude and consideration for others. Keep that pledge.

When you heard about the money raised to support victims, did you realize you have a higher capacity for giving? Donate to a group you believe in.

I don’t know what exactly inspired you or what calling you felt, but I am quite certain that during the course of our country’s recent struggles it happened, and probably not for the first time.

I implore you to make this time different. To make this time count. To make this time be the time you step up. So, the next time disaster strikes, you will not be sitting there wishing there was more you could do. You will have acted and prepared yourself and you will be ready to serve.

If the efforts of the Search & Rescue dogs and their dedicated handlers is what grabbed your heart, I invite you to learn more by following our blog and join Calvary Canine in our mission to provide these special dogs the training and equipment they need to perform their life-saving work.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make a difference that you have lived and lived well. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Lesson: Introduction to Poetry Analysis

### Section 1: What is Poetry?
Poetry is a form of literature that uses language, rhythm, and imagery to express emotions, ideas, and experiences. It often explores themes such as love, nature, and humanity.

### Section 2: Types of Poetry
There are several types of poetry, including narrative, lyric, dramatic, and epic. Narrative poetry tells a story, while lyric poetry expresses emotions and ideas. Dramatic poetry is meant to be performed on stage, and epic poetry tells a long and complex story.

### Section 3: Analyzing Poetry
To analyze poetry, you need to read it carefully and look for patterns, symbols, and themes. You can also consider the poem's structure, rhythm, and tone. Here is an example of a poem:

```
Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before
I swore but was I sober when I swore?
And then and then came Spring, and Rose-in-hand
My thread-bare Penitence apieces tore..
```

This poem is from "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," a collection of poems written by Edward Fitzgerald. The poem is written in iambic tetrameter, which means it has four beats per line, with the stress on every second syllable. The poem is also written in quatrains, which are four-line stanzas.

In this particular poem, the speaker is reflecting on their past actions and regrets. They mention repentance, which suggests they have done something wrong in the past. However, they also mention Spring and Rose-in-hand, which suggest a sense of renewal and hope.

The poem's structure is also important to note. It is written in couplets, which are two lines that rhyme. The first line of each couplet follows an ABAB rhyme scheme.

Overall, this poem is an example of lyric poetry, as it expresses the speaker's emotions and thoughts. It also contains themes of regret, renewal, and hope.

### Section 4: Practice Questions
1. How does the structure of this poem contribute to its meaning?
2. What is the difference between narrative and lyric poetry?
3. Can you think of any other poems that explore similar themes as this one?

### Conclusion
Analyzing poetry can be a rewarding experience, as it allows us to delve deeper into the meaning and themes of a poem. By examining the structure, rhythm, and tone of a poem, we can gain a better understanding of the author's intentions and the message they are trying to convey.

Minimum Spanning Tree

The Parallel BGL contains four minimum spanning tree (MST)
algorithms [DG98] for use on undirected, weighted, distributed
graphs. The graphs need not be connected: each algorithm will compute
a minimum spanning forest (MSF) when provided with a disconnected
graph.

The interface to each of the four algorithms is similar to the
implementation of 'Kruskal's algorithm'_ in the sequential BGL. Each
accepts, at a minimum, a graph, a weight map, and an output
iterator. The edges of the MST (or MSF) will be output via the output
iterator on process 0: other processes may receive edges on their
output iterators, but the set may not be complete, depending on the
algorithm. The algorithm parameters are documented together, because
they do not vary greatly. See the section Selecting an MST
algorithm for advice on algorithm selection.

The graph itself must model the Vertex List Graph concept and the
Distributed Edge List Graph concept. Since the most common
distributed graph structure, the distributed adjacency list, only
models the Distributed Vertex List Graph concept, it may only be used
with these algorithms when wrapped in a suitable adaptor, such as the
vertex_list_adaptor.

The output iterator through which the edges of the MSF will be
written. Must be capable of accepting edge descriptors for output.

IN: VertexIndexMapindex

A mapping from vertex descriptors to indices in the range [0,
num_vertices(g)). This must be a Readable Property Map whose
key type is a vertex descriptor and whose value type is an integral
type, typically the vertices_size_type of the graph.

Default:get(vertex_index,g)

IN/UTIL: RankMaprank_map

Stores the rank of each vertex, which is used for maintaining
union-find data structures. This must be a Read/Write Property Map
whose key type is a vertex descriptor and whose value type is an
integral type.

Default: An iterator_property_map built from an STL vector
of the vertices_size_type of the graph and the vertex index map.

IN/UTIL: ParentMapparent_map

Stores the parent (representative) of each vertex, which is used for
maintaining union-find data structures. This must be a Read/Write
Property Map whose key type is a vertex descriptor and whose value
type is also a vertex descriptor.

Default: An iterator_property_map built from an STL vector
of the vertex_descriptor of the graph and the vertex index map.

IN/UTIL: SupervertexMapsupervertex_map

Stores the supervertex index of each vertex, which is used for
maintaining the supervertex list data structures. This must be a
Read/Write Property Map whose key type is a vertex descriptor and
whose value type is an integral type.

Default: An iterator_property_map built from an STL vector
of the vertices_size_type of the graph and the vertex index map.

The dense Boruvka distributed minimum spanning tree algorithm is a
direct parallelization of the sequential MST algorithm by
Boruvka. The algorithm first creates a supervertex out of each
vertex. Then, in each iteration, it finds the smallest-weight edge
incident to each vertex, collapses supervertices along these edges,
and removals all self loops. The only difference between the
sequential and parallel algorithms is that the parallel algorithm
performs an all-reduce operation so that all processes have the
global minimum set of edges.

Unlike the other three algorithms, this algorithm emits the complete
list of edges in the minimum spanning forest via the output iterator
on all processes. It may therefore be more useful than the others
when parallelizing sequential BGL programs.

The following charts illustrate the performance of this algorithm on
various random graphs. We see that the algorithm scales well up to 64
or 128 processors, depending on the type of graph, for dense
graphs. However, for sparse graphs performance tapers off as the
number of processors surpases m/n, i.e., the average degree (which
is 30 for this graph). This behavior is expected from the algorithm.

The merging local MSTs algorithm operates by computing minimum
spanning forests from the edges stored on each process. Then the
processes merge their edge lists along a tree. The child nodes cease
participating in the computation, but the parent nodes recompute MSFs
from the newly acquired edges. In the final round, the root of the
tree computes the global MSFs, having received candidate edges from
every other process via the tree.

This algorithm requires O(log_D p) BSP supersteps (where D is the
number of children in the tree, and is currently fixed at 3). Each
superstep requires O((m/p) log (m/p) + n) time and O(m/p)
communication per process.

The following charts illustrate the performance of this algorithm on
various random graphs. The algorithm only scales well for very dense
graphs, where most of the work is performed in the initial stage and
there is very little work in the later stages.

This algorithm applies both Boruvka steps and local MSF merging steps
together to achieve better asymptotic performance than either
algorithm alone. It first executes Boruvka steps until only n/(log_d
p)^2 supervertices remain, then completes the MSF computation by
performing local MSF merging on the remaining edges and
supervertices.

This algorithm requires log_D p + log log_D p BSP supersteps. The
time required by each superstep depends on the type of superstep
being performed; see the distributed Boruvka or merging local MSFS
algorithms for details.

The following charts illustrate the performance of this algorithm on
various random graphs. We see that the algorithm scales well up to 64
or 128 processors, depending on the type of graph, for dense
graphs. However, for sparse graphs performance tapers off as the
number of processors surpases m/n, i.e., the average degree (which
is 30 for this graph). This behavior is expected from the algorithm.

This algorithm applies both Boruvka steps and local MSF merging steps
together to achieve better asymptotic performance than either method
alone. In each iteration, the algorithm first performs a Boruvka step
and then merges the local MSFs computed based on the supervertex
graph.

This algorithm requires log_D p BSP supersteps. The
time required by each superstep depends on the type of superstep
being performed; see the distributed Boruvka or merging local MSFS
algorithms for details. However, the algorithm is
communication-optional (requiring O(n) communication overall) when
the graph is sufficiently dense, i.e., m/n >= p.

The following charts illustrate the performance of this algorithm on
various random graphs. We see that the algorithm scales well up to 64
or 128 processors, depending on the type of graph, for dense
graphs. However, for sparse graphs performance tapers off as the
number of processors surpases m/n, i.e., the average degree (which
is 30 for this graph). This behavior is expected from the algorithm.

Dehne and Gotz reported [DG98] mixed results when evaluating these
four algorithms. No particular algorithm was clearly better than the
others in all cases. However, the asymptotically best algorithm
(boruvka_mixed_merge) seemed to perform more poorly in their tests
than the other merging-based algorithms. The following performance
charts illustrate the performance of these four minimum spanning tree
implementations.

Overall, dense_boruvka_minimum_spanning_tree gives the most
consistent performance and scalability for the graphs we
tested. Additionally, it may be more suitable for sequential programs
that are being parallelized, because it emits complete MSF edge lists
via the output iterators in every process.

Lesson: Minimum Spanning Tree

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the concept of a minimum spanning tree (MST) and how it can be used to find the shortest path between all pairs of vertices in a connected, undirected graph. We will also explore the different algorithms for finding an MST and their applications in various fields.

Core Value:
A minimum spanning tree (MST) is a subset of edges of an undirected, connected graph such that no two edges share a common vertex, and the sum of the edge weights is as small as possible. An MST can be used to find the shortest path between all pairs of vertices in the graph.

Section 1: What is a Minimum Spanning Tree?

Topic 1: Definition of MST
- A minimum spanning tree is a subset of edges of an undirected, connected graph such that no two edges share a common vertex, and the sum of the edge weights is as small as possible.

Topic 2: Applications of MST
- MST has many applications in various fields such as network analysis, transportation networks, and genetic algorithms.

Topic 3: Finding an MST
- There are several algorithms to find an MST, such as Kruskal's algorithm, Prim's algorithm, and Boruvka's algorithm.

Section 2: How to Find an MST?

Topic 1: Kruskal's Algorithm
- Kruskal's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that starts with an empty set of edges and adds edges to the MST in increasing order of their weights until the MST becomes complete.

Topic 2: Prim's Algorithm
- Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that starts with a random vertex and adds edges to the MST in increasing order of their weights until the MST becomes complete.

Topic 3: Boruvka's Algorithm
- Boruvka's algorithm is an algorithm that finds an MST by dividing the graph into smaller subgraphs and finding an MST for each subgraph.

Section 3: Examples and Practice Problems

Topic 1: Example
- Consider a connected, undirected graph with the following edge weights: (1, 2) = 10, (1, 3) = 7, (1, 4) = 6, (2, 3) = 9, (2, 4) = 5, (3, 4) = 12. Using Kruskal's algorithm, find the MST.

Practice Problems:
1. Find the MST for the given graph using Kruskal's algorithm.
2. Find the MST for the given graph using Prim's algorithm.
3. Find the MST for the given graph using Boruvka's algorithm.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the concept of a minimum spanning tree and how it can be used to find the shortest path between all pairs of vertices in a connected, undirected graph. We also explored the different algorithms for finding an MST and their applications in various fields. By solving practice problems, we can apply the skills gained from this topic to new problems.

Lesson: The Life of an Indian Captive

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the life of an Indian captive and how they adapted to their new way of life. We will also explore the challenges and experiences of living among the Indians.

Section 1: The Life of an Indian Captive

The life of an Indian captive was vastly different from that of a white person. They were often taken from their homes and families and forced to live with the Indians. They had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, which included hunting, gathering, and living in tepees.

Questions:
- What was the life of an Indian captive like?
- How did they adapt to their new way of life?

Answer:
 The life of an Indian captive was challenging and full of hardships. They had to learn to hunt, gather, and live in tepees. They also had to adapt to the Indian way of life, which included living without modern conveniences such as electricity and running water.

Section 2: Living Among the Indians

Living among the Indians was not easy for the captives. They had to learn to speak their language, follow their customs, and live in their tepees. They also had to learn to hunt and gather food, which was a difficult task for those who were not used to it.

Questions:
- What challenges did the captives face when living among the Indians?
- How did they adapt to their new way of life?

Answer:
The captives faced many challenges when living among the Indians. They had to learn to speak their language, follow their customs, and live in their tepees. They also had to learn to hunt and gather food, which was a difficult task for those who were not used to it. Despite these challenges, some captives were able to adapt to their new way of life and even became members of the tribe.

Section 3: The Experience of Returning to White Society

After living among the Indians for many years, some captives were eventually convinced to return to white society. This was a difficult transition, as they had to learn to live without the customs and traditions of the Indians.

Questions:
- What was it like for captives to return to white society?
- How did they adapt to their new way of life?

Answer:
Returning to white society was a difficult transition for captives who had become accustomed to the Indian way of life. They had to learn to live without the customs and traditions of the Indians, which included living without modern conveniences such as electricity and running water. Some captives struggled to adapt to their new way of life and found it difficult to fit in with white society.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the life of an Indian captive was vastly different from that of a white person. They had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, which included living among the Indians and learning their customs and traditions. While some captives were able to adapt to their new way of life and even become members of the tribe, others struggled to adapt to white society upon returning. Overall, this lesson provides valuable insights into the challenges and experiences of living among the Indians.

Balloon test occlusion of the internal carotid artery with stump pressure ratio and venous phase delay technique.
Balloon test occlusion (BTO) is crucial before sacrificing parent arteries. We proposed a simple paradigm combining clinical tolerance with venous phase technique and stump pressure ratio as a criterion for sufficient collateral flow. Internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion was considered safe for asymptomatic patients who exhibited less than 2 seconds of venous phase delay or had a stump pressure ratio greater than 60%. A total of 37 BTO procedures were performed on 31 patients. Twenty-three patients were monitored clinically and 3 were symptomatic. Venous phase comparison was performed on 27 patients, and 5 failed the test. The stump pressure was measured in all patients, and 7 patients failed the test. In summary, 7 patients failed the BTO, of which 6 received high-flow bypass and 1 of these 6 were symptomatic and exhibited stump pressure ratios less than 60% in the second BTO procedure. Occlusion of the ICA was performed on 29 patients. Only 1 patient developed delayed vasospasm and brain infarction. Adequate collateral flow may be indicated by a stump ratio of 60% or greater with or without a high-flow bypass. Combined with clinical assessment and venous phase technique, ICA occlusion may be a safe option that does not result in delayed ischemic complications.

textbook:
Lesson Title: Balloon Test Occlusion of the Internal Carotid Artery

Introduction:
Balloon test occlusion (BTO) is a procedure used to check the blood flow in the arteries. It is essential to perform BTO before sacrificing parent arteries. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of BTO, its techniques, and how to determine if the procedure is safe for the patient.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the importance of BTO, its techniques, and how to determine if the procedure is safe for the patient.

Section 1: Understanding Balloon Test Occlusion
Topic 1: What is Balloon Test Occlusion?
Balloon test occlusion (BTO) is a procedure used to check the blood flow in the arteries. It involves blocking the blood flow temporarily in the arteries using a balloon. This procedure helps doctors to diagnose and treat various medical conditions related to blood flow.

Topic 2: Importance of Balloon Test Occlusion
BTO is crucial before sacrificing parent arteries. It helps doctors to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure. If the blood flow is adequate, the doctor can proceed with the surgery. However, if the blood flow is not sufficient, the doctor may not proceed with the surgery, as it could lead to complications.

Topic 3: Techniques used in Balloon Test Occlusion
There are two techniques used in BTO: venous phase technique and stump pressure ratio. The venous phase technique measures the time taken for the blood to flow back into the heart after the balloon is removed. The stump pressure ratio measures the pressure difference between the artery and the vein.

Section 2: Determining Safety of Balloon Test Occlusion
Topic 1: Clinical Tolerance
Clinical tolerance is an essential factor in determining the safety of BTO. If the patient is asymptomatic and has less than 2 seconds of venous phase delay, the procedure is considered safe.

Topic 2: Stump Pressure Ratio
Stump pressure ratio is another criterion used to determine the safety of BTO. If the stump pressure ratio is greater than 60%, the procedure is considered safe.

Section 3: Application of Balloon Test Occlusion
Topic 1: Symptoms
If a patient exhibits symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea during BTO, the procedure is not safe, and the doctor may not proceed with the surgery.

Topic 2: High-Flow Bypass
If a patient fails the BTO, they may receive high-flow bypass. This procedure involves connecting the patient to a machine that pumps blood around the body.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, BTO is an essential procedure used to check the blood flow in the arteries. It helps doctors to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for surgery. By understanding the techniques used in BTO and the criteria for determining safety, doctors can ensure that the procedure is safe for the patient.

Women’s empowerment is key to fortifying the forestry sector

Compared to men, women are frequently disadvantaged in their access to and control over forest resources and in their ability to take advantage of economic opportunities, according to an FAO paper that calls for action on gender disparities in the forestry sector.

“Women’s roles in forestry value chains should be strengthened, as should their voices in forest organizations,” says one of the authors, Libor Stloukal, FAO Policy Officer, explaining that these are two promising ways to eliminate the disadvantages.

Men’s and women’s differing roles and opportunities in the forestry sector result in gender disparities in access to and use of forest foods, fuelwood and fodder for livestock; forest management; the marketing of forest and tree products; and participation in forest user groups. These topics are outlined in “Forests, food security and gender: linkages, disparities and priorities for action,” a paper prepared by a team led by Stloukal of FAO’s Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division (ESW), in collaboration with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), for the International Conference on Forests for Food Security and Nutrition held at FAO headquarters from 13 to 15 May 2013.

Agroforestry activities are often gender-differentiated: while men are usually interested in trees and forests for commercial purposes, women tend to favour subsistence benefits -- food, fuelwood, fodder and soil fertility improvement. A review of 104 studies of gender and agroforestry in Africa, cited in the paper, affirms that women’s participation is very high in the production and processing of indigenous fruit and vegetable products. “Women’s knowledge is often critical for household survival, but is rarely recognized in forest management plans,” Stloukal explains.

In many parts of the world, women’s forestry and agroforestry activities are less lucrative than those of men. Tree products such as charcoal, logs, timber, large branches and poles are often considered male domains and in places like the Luo and Luhya communities in western Kenya, women are restricted from harvesting high-value timber trees. “When policy makers and service providers recognize the value of women’s roles in forestry value chains -- as we’ve seen with initiatives involving shea nut butter in Burkina Faso and gum karaya in India -- their incomes can be raised significantly,” says Stloukal.

A number of interrelated cultural, socio-economic and institutional reasons are causing the differences between men’s and women’s opportunities in the forestry sector. They range from the social perceptions of women’s roles and the time women have to spend on domestic responsibilities and childcare to gender disparities in literacy, education, physical abilities, technical skills and access to training and credit services.

Women must not only be represented in forestry institutions, but also accepted as stakeholders with specific views and interests, the FAO paper contends. Empowerment of women through, for example, formal education, training and support for income generation would allow them to have a greater say in transformative decisions. “Efforts to include women in forest-related institutions should be strengthened,” says Stloukal, “because women can help maximize synergies between the forest sector and food security for the benefit of all.”

Lesson: Women's Empowerment in Forestry Sector

Introduction

Forestry is a crucial sector that contributes significantly to global economies and the well-being of millions of people. However, despite their vital role in the sector, women are often marginalized and face numerous challenges in accessing and benefiting from forest resources. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of women's empowerment in the forestry sector and the steps that can be taken to address gender disparities.

Section 1: Understanding Gender Disparities in the Forestry Sector

1.1 What are the gender disparities in the forestry sector?

Gender disparities refer to the unequal distribution of opportunities, resources, and power between men and women. In the forestry sector, these disparities manifest in various ways, including differences in access to and control over forest resources, participation in decision-making processes, and opportunities for economic advancement.

1.2 Why are gender disparities in the forestry sector a concern?

Addressing gender disparities in the forestry sector is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it is a matter of social justice and human rights. Women have the right to participate fully in the economic, social, and political life of their communities, including in the forestry sector. Secondly, empowering women can lead to more sustainable and equitable development outcomes. When women are involved in forestry, they tend to prioritize conservation and community well-being, which can lead to better long-term outcomes for everyone.

Section 2: Strategies for Addressing Gender Disparities in the Forestry Sector

2.1 Strengthening Women's Roles in Forestry Value Chains

One strategy for addressing gender disparities in the forestry sector is to strengthen women's roles in forestry value chains. This can be achieved by providing training and support for women to engage in activities such as agroforestry, timber processing, and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) processing. By enhancing women's involvement in these areas, they can gain greater access to resources and opportunities, leading to more equitable outcomes.

2.2 Amplifying Women's Voices in Forest Organizations

Another strategy is to amplify women's voices in forest organizations. This can be done by promoting women's leadership and representation in decision-making bodies, such as community forestry groups, forest user associations, and government agencies. When women are included in these organizations, they can bring unique perspectives and priorities to the table, leading to more informed and inclusive decision-making.

Section 3: Examples of Women's Empowerment in the Forestry Sector

3.1 The Rwanda Experience

Rwanda is a prime example of how women's empowerment in the forestry sector can lead to positive outcomes. Through programs such as the One Cow per Family initiative, which focuses on improving livestock management and milk production, women have gained greater access to resources and opportunities. As a result, they have been able to increase their income and contribute more to household decision-making.

3.2 The Nepal Experience

In Nepal, the Community Forestry Program has been successful in promoting women's empowerment in the forestry sector. Through this program, women have gained greater access to forest resources, such as fuelwood and fodder, which are essential for their daily needs. Additionally, women have been trained in various income-generating activities, such as handicrafts and agriculture, which has enabled them to become more financially independent.

Conclusion

In conclusion, women's empowerment in the forestry sector is essential for achieving more equitable and sustainable development outcomes. By addressing gender disparities through strategies such as strengthening women's roles in forestry value chains and amplifying their voices in forest organizations, we can create a more inclusive and just forestry sector that benefits everyone.


text: A summary of the school board study session about a proposed bond was sent to me.. The board is going to request a 5-year bond of $520 million, which is about $14 per month per $100,000 of assessed valuation. A committee will be formed to look at how to spend the bond money in the most efficient manner. The bond will be used not just for new buildings but for renovations to existing buildings.. The Board has asked district administration to prepare multiple plans for boundary changes and closing schools and how those actions would impact a bond. While the survey showed patrons would support closing schools and boundary changes, the Board wants some actual plans to see if this would still be supported when parents see how their children would be impacted.. The next study session to discuss the bond will be Tuesday, July 30 beginning at 3:00.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand School Bond Information

Introduction:
School bonds are an important tool that schools use to finance construction, renovation, and other capital improvements. As a citizen, it is essential to understand the information provided by the school board about the proposed bond. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand school bond information.

Section 1: Understanding School Bond Information

Topic 1: What is a School Bond?
A school bond is a type of debt issued by a school district to finance capital improvements. The bond is usually repaid over a period of time using property taxes.

Topic 2: How to Read a School Bond Proposal
When a school district proposes a bond, they usually provide information about the bond proposal in a document called a "ballot proposition." This document contains important information about the bond, such as the amount of the bond, the duration of the bond, and the estimated cost to taxpayers.

Topic 3: Understanding Bond Language
Bond language is the legal language used to describe the terms of the bond. It is usually written in legalese, which can be difficult to understand. However, it is essential to read the bond language carefully to understand the terms of the bond.

Section 2: Analyzing School Bond Information

Topic 1: Evaluating the Cost of the Bond
One of the most important factors to consider when evaluating a school bond is the cost. The cost of the bond is usually expressed as a percentage of the assessed valuation of property in the district. You can calculate the cost of the bond by multiplying the percentage by the assessed valuation of your property.

Topic 2: Assessing the Need for the Bond
Another important factor to consider when evaluating a school bond is the need for the bond. The school board usually provides information about the need for the bond in the ballot proposition. You should read this information carefully to determine whether the bond is necessary.

Topic 3: Evaluating the Plan for Spending the Bond Money
The school board usually provides information about how they plan to spend the bond money in the ballot proposition. You should read this information carefully to ensure that the bond money will be spent wisely.

Section 3: Applying Critical Thinking Skills to School Bond Information

Topic 1: Analyzing the Impact of Boundary Changes and School Closures
The school board may propose boundary changes or school closures as part of the bond proposal. You should analyze the impact of these changes on the community and the students.

Topic 2: Evaluating the Credibility of the School Board
You should evaluate the credibility of the school board by considering their track record on previous bond proposals. You can also research the background of the school board members to determine their qualifications and experience.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding school bond information is essential to make an informed decision about whether to support a bond proposal. By reading and analyzing the bond information carefully, you can determine whether the bond is necessary and whether the bond money will be spent wisely. By applying critical thinking skills, you can evaluate the impact of boundary changes and school closures and assess the credibility of the school board.
