Airline Teacher Tapped for National Cybersecurity Committee
Airline High School teacher Billy Neill knows his stuff when it comes to cyber science and robotics. Now, his knowledge will be tapped as a member of a national committee focused on developing new K-12 cybersecurity learning standards to be used in schools across America.
Neill is one of 30 educators representing 22 states who will serve as a content specialist on a committee focused on writing cyber curriculum. The groups will collaborate virtually October 27-29. Once complete, the standards will help ensure students not only have a foundational understanding of cybersecurity, but also the skills and knowledge needed to pursue cybersecurity careers in greater numbers.
Supported by government agencies such as the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Institute for Cybersecurity Education, Neill and fellow educators will be broken into three sub-committees based on their expertise. He will be on the high school team.
Growing a stronger cyber and tech workforce is the ultimate goal and Neill has been doing his part through robotics and cyber literacy classes at Airline. Bossier Schools places a strong emphasis district-wide on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), in partnership with Cyber Innovation Center.
According to Cyber.org, the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center in Bossier, current demand for cybersecurity talent is outpacing the supply. It is projected by 2022 that 1.8 million cyber jobs will be unfilled.
Mr. Wilkins Helps the Bossier Arts Council’s Dream Come Alive
With the help of the Airline High School Wood Tech Department (under the guidance of John Wilkins and special assistance from Kevin Jones) and a very special donation from the Ricky Murov Family- the Bossier Arts Council has created the first ever "Little Free Arthouse" in Bossier Parish. Based on the concept of a "Little Free Library," they expanded this notion to include what they do best and that is ART! This Little Free Arthouse located at the Bossier Arts Council offices will supply free art supplies, monthly activities, and instructional books to students across Bossier and Caddo parishes. Thanks to Mr. Wilkins and his wood tech students!
All students will be required to wear masks while on campus.
Masks must be worn by students grades 3-12 and all adults while on buses and in school facilities. GAITERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Masks must be in place at all times while inside the building. There are situations when face coverings can be lowered, such as, during lunch and outside activities where physical distancing can be achieved. In all other situations, masks are required.
