17 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FY17 MEMBER FEES AGENDA ITEM FY17 Member Fees DESCRIPTION MOREnet has prepared FY17 member fees for Membership Service Packages (MSP), the Managed Connection Fee (MCF), the Network Connectivity Fee (NCF) and For-Fee Services (FFS). With the support of MOSL providing subsidies for research and reference materials that members depend on, MOREnet does not forecast resource requirements beyond the very small changes for FY17 to bring us in balance. Furthermore, MOREnet continues to experience record demand for its private, high performance Internet services. The great majority of members who purchase both a MSP and connection will enjoy a reduction in service costs. MEMBERSHIP SERVICE PACKAGES (MSP) There will be a small increase ranging from.35% to.40% in the MSP fees for FY17, which will generate additional revenue for the MSP line of business to breakeven in FY18. MOREnet will continue to offer two package and term options designed to provide members with the greatest flexibility to select the services that they require.

18 MANAGED CONNECTION FEE (MCF) For FY17, the MCF will remain at $1,300 for all MOREnet-ordered connections. The MCF is required for all MOREnetordered connections. The services included with the MCF include router management, network security services, after-hours connection monitoring, vendor management, and circuit procurement services. NETWORK CONNECTIVITY FEE (NCF) For FY17, we will reduce the total NCF revenue by 7.9% because of bandwidth growth and lower costs of backbone and Internet access. Discounts based on bandwidth will range between 3.19% 10.61%. The NCF is based on the bandwidth for each connection a member organization is receiving from MOREnet. It covers the costs related to bringing member connections into the MOREnet backbone, Internet access, support of the MOREnet backbone and a connection to Internet2.

20 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY INVESTMENT PROJECT UPDATES: K12 AND LIBRARY RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENDA ITEM Investment Project Update: K12 and Library Research Projects DESCRIPTION District Research Projects: Fulton 58 Students are pursuing a growing number of increasingly sophisticated projects in the Fab Lab. Introduction to Engineering Design (year 1) students have completed introductory 3D CAD design using the online application TinkerCAD to learn 3D printing. They are now learning the Python programming language using the online tutorial site Codecademy and will segue into robotics next with the Boe Bot kits. Engineering Research and Design (year 2) students are learning to create wood inlays on the CNC router using Aspire CAD software. Another group of students is building an autonomous robot. Independent Engineering Research Project (year 3) students are pursuing such projects as an octocopter drone with a gimbalmounted camera and a solar- and battery-powered Raspberry Pi-based wildlife trail camera. The Fab Lab continues to host tours for other districts, most recently Pleasant Hill, with Chillicothe scheduled for early December, and exhibited and presented at the MOREnet conference in October. This year students brought the desktop CNC router and used a plotter pen attachment to draw a variety of designs for conference attendees while talking about the operation of the device. Grandview R-II The school district s Annual Performance reports came out last month and for the last two years the district has seen an 8.9% rise its score, which they contribute in large to flipped classrooms, blended learning, 1:1, and in general embracing technology. This year they received 94.3% of the points possible making them one of the top performing schools in the St. Louis area. They made the front page of the St. Louis Post Dispatch for their high performance. This year they have also introduced a product called USAtestprep which they are using in a flipped manner to reteach struggling students. The product allows the teacher to assign a reteaching video on a lesson that the student must watch before they are allowed to retest on that particular concept. On November 30 they will have a professional development day to train the elementary teachers on Moodle. This will begin their process to have Moodle district-wide. They also have their first draft of the Flipped classroom handbook that introduces the concept of a flipped classroom, describes seven different approaches, and provides step-by-step instructions on how to prepare, record, and publish lessons for students to use. Library Research Project: University City Public Library UCPL continues to refine and expand the service offerings funded by the project. A parabolic speaker was added to the gallery digital sign to allow for audio to accompany the visuals without the audio disturbing other patrons. The gallery currently features an exhibit of musicians gravestone etchings; read more at go.more.net/rnrgraves. Equipment is arriving for UCPL s One Button Studio. CALOP, the local filmmaking group, has provided matching funds for UCPL to purchase and circulate more video cameras. The audio and video system has been upgraded in the auditorium, which is available for use by the public. More 3D printer classes are being held ( the Cub Scouts have discovered us ) and CALOP is funding additional video production classes. UCPL s assistant director and IT coordinator presented at MOREnet s annual conference and another presentation, Strengthening Communities through Technology, will be presented as a State Library web presentation on November 19.

23 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY U.S. DEPT. OF EDUCATION, FUTURE READY SCHOOLS, MISSOURI REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP AGENDA ITEM Update on Future Ready Schools, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Education, being extended in Missouri by MOREnet staff. DESCRIPTION This free, bold new effort from the U.S. Department of Education is intended to maximize digital learning opportunities that prepare students for success in college, a career, and citizenship with resources and support to ensure that local technology and digital learning plans that: Align with instructional best practices Are implemented by highly trained teachers Lead to personalized learning experiences for all students, particularly those from traditionally under-served communities. At the center of the effort is a series of workshops where district teams utilize the Future Ready Dashboard to develop action plans and metrics to measure their progress in using digital tools to improve teaching and student learning outcomes. The workshops focus on a comprehensive set of issues that drive student learning, highlight the experiences of districts in each region, and offer district leaders tangible ways to build capacity among their teams and throughout their districts. MOREnet has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a regional partner for its Future Ready efforts in Missouri. We are currently reaching out to DESE, MASA and other interested and energetic organizations within Missouri to ensure our school districts are aware and have the opportunity to participate in this initiative. RECOMMENDED ACTION None ATTACHMENT(S) Future Ready Schools Preparing Students for Success Created by Dawn Thurnau November
24 Overview: Future Ready is a partnership between the U.S. Dept. of Education and the Alliance for Excellent Education. Its intent is to prepare students for success in college, a career, and citizenship with resources and support to ensure local technology and digital learning plans that: Align with instructional best practices Are implemented by highly trained teachers Lead to personalized learning experiences for ALL students, particularly those from traditionally underserved communities Kicked off by a series of 12 regional summits (one of which was in St. Louis), the initiative built momentum. After a series of conversations and projects, MOREnet has become the State Lead (in collaboration with ConnectED Learning) to extend the initiative in the Show Me State. Goal: Provide planning expertise and support to all interested districts and charter schools across Missouri in the implementation of digital learning to move quickly toward preparing students for success in college, a career, and citizenship. Objective: Work with local leadership including DESE, MOREnet, MASA, ConnectED Learning and EducationPlus to enable schools to strategically plan in a collaborative way using the Free Future Ready Schools (FRS) components such as the interactive planning dashboard and workshop tenets. Benefits to Missouri Schools: Improved resources, help prioritizing and repurposing Engaged students with equitable access Active parents for deeper engagement Dedicated educators Yes Culture of leadership Components: 1. Ensure infrastructure needs are met for all 7 of the Future Ready Cogs (or gears) 2. Help develop ideas for school culture using Missouri Future Ready Workshops that model each of the cogs 3. Continue learning and leadership through professional development through website and engagement strategies, all aligned to the key gears National Site: Missouri Site (coming soon): 23
25 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FY16 ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY UPDATE AGENDA ITEM FY16 Organizational Strategy Update DESCRIPTION The MOREnet leadership team recently reviewed key business data regarding the state of our organization and the telecommunications industry as a precursor to reviewing and resetting our strategic focus areas. To further assist our efforts, we completed a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis, as well as a PESTLE analysis which helped us to identify Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Education trends that could influence our organization in the next months. From the group s work, we identified four strategic goals for FY16. The first two goals are carryovers from our most recent strategic plan, and the other two are new strategic areas of focus that we believe will help us make a greater impact in serving our members. Expand Membership and Service Usage We will demonstrate our complete commitment to members by exhibiting our unmatched focus on education and public sector technology needs through our service offerings. We plan to grow our member count through recruitment within new or expanding markets such as health care, local government and private schools, as well as our existing member markets. By utilizing simplified messages, targeted techniques and shared success stories, we will grow the revenue from our most relevant and valuable fee for service offerings. Develop Greater-capacity, Lower-cost Connectivity Options Continue to research and invest in technology solutions that allows higher bandwidth, lower costs, and increased network flexibility. Leverage federal funding and partnerships to lower the cost of connectivity for our members. Explore and define service offerings inside the demarcation point Utilize market research that includes customer feedback, technical support tickets and financial analysis to leverage the expertise and skillset of MOREnet staff to offer networking services, inside the members local network. Ideally, most services will be delivered and managed remotely, and will complement the members local support staff (as opposed to competing with). Services will be centered on those members with a MOREnet connection and will reach beyond our existing network consulting and assessment services. Establish and leverage Federal and State Relations Maximize desk-side visits, conferences, events and projects to create and strengthen partnerships with key influencer groups within and beyond our existing member community - where the relationship results in potential opportunities to further develop funding sources, best practices, shared services or improved communication and information flow to our member community. We are in the process of identifying relevant tactics for each of the goals by working with each internal group. Once identified and agreed-upon, we will develop key metrics for each of the strategic goals to enable us to effectively monitor progress and adjust resources as appropriate to ensure success.

While this is somewhat effective, there are often vacant seats, some groups do not appoint alternate representatives and in general appear challenged in the election process. Member representatives currently serve staggered 3-year terms. MOREnet wishes to ensure an active and engaged Council, with each member group having full and complete representation, as outlined in the MOU Composition of the MOREnet Council f. Representative members of higher education institutions, as elected by the higher education advisory committee, currently the Missouri Education and Research Consortium (MERC) g. Representative members of the public library community, as elected by the public library advisory committee, currently the Missouri Public Library Directors Association h. Representative members of the public K-12 school district community, as elected by the K- 12 advisory committee, currently organized through the Missouri Association of School Administrators (MASA) Having established these advisory committees as the source for MOREnet Council representation as of 2011, MOREnet wishes to review these designations and invites the current Council representatives to have an open discussion about the most appropriate member groups or methods by which MOREnet Council representatives should be selected. The ultimate goal is to ensure an open, properly represented and engaged Council to help MOREnet staff guide the organization to success. RECOMMENDED ACTION Open discussion is invited.
