Eric Dinowitz

And it's a multi-year project, right?

Eric Dinowitz

These are over the course of multiple years.

Eric Dinowitz

Students are engaging in this.

Jenna Ryle

Yeah, so the SEAL is really a portfolio, right?

Jenna Ryle

It's like not one single thing.

Jenna Ryle

It's a combination of students'experiences starting even in eighth grade when they can have their middle school capstone and then going through ninth all the way through 12th grade where they may be earning.

Jenna Ryle

those points through different experiences, different coursework, and different projects that they're doing.

Eric Dinowitz

Okay, I want to come back to this, you know, the work, the rigor, and really getting it to a place where it'll get college credit that our students deserve.

Eric Dinowitz

For now, I'm going to turn it back to the chair to call on council member for council member questions.
