27
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 4>for school kids statewide as the state tries to claw

28
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.359

29
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely not what the state was looking for.

<v Speaker 1>The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education was hoping for

32
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a post pandemic rebound, but this year's MCAST score say differently.

33
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Kids across the board scored worse than the English Language

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>exam compared to last year. They were basically flat or

35
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a little worse at men and the science results are

36
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 1>mixed to no clear win. THEREDESSI Interim Commissioner Russell Johnson

37
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>put it like this.

38
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 6>These results are concerning as we continue to combat pandemic related.

39
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Learning loss, and this may seem bad, but the numbers

40
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>are even worse compared to the pre pandemic, down double

41
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 1>digits in English. This all comes a minute ballot pushed

42

72
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 6>to forty nine results. The vote was taken because of

73
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 6>budget shortfalls, fundraising, student protests, and staff layoffs. Last November,

74

<v Speaker 6>there was a student walkout as part of a demonstration

75
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 6>over the Israel Hamas war, with some professors believing it

76
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 6>turned from a protest into an incident of hate. Earlier

77
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 6>this year, Brandeis leadership announced they were cutting some sixty

78
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.240

79
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.600
