Jun 06, 2022 Special Board Meeting

[00:00:05]

ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE HAYS CISD BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

[A. CALL TO ORDER: Establish a quorum]

IT IS MONDAY, JUNE 6TH AND THE TIME IS 6:04 P.M..

A QUORUM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE PRESENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MRS. COURTNEY RUNKLE, WHO IS AT A PRE-PLANNED TRIP TO CELEBRATE HER RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE HOPE THAT SHE IS ENJOYING THAT TRIP.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE ARE CONTINUING OUR BUDGET CONVERSATION TONIGHT.

WE LEFT OFF TEAM AT PAGE 15.

I WANT TO FIRST ASK IF WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC FORUM SPEAKERS TONIGHT.

I'LL LOOK TO THE BACK OF THE ROOM.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC FORUM SPEAKERS TONIGHT.

AND SO IF YOU WILL FIND IN ALL OF YOUR PAPERS LOTS AND LOTS OF PAPERS, YOUR POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, WE NEED TO BE ON

[C. INFORMATION ITEM]

I'M HAPPY TO JUMP BACK IF WE NEED TO AT ANY POINT.

I KNOW WE MIGHT REMEMBER SOME THINGS, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE OUR ADMINISTRATION TIME TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD ON THE PRESENTATION HERE BEFORE US. SO I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE DR.

MEDINA PRESENTING ON SLIDE 15.

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU, DR.

MEDINA, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE IT UP ON OUR SCREEN TEAM.

EVERYBODY ON THIS PAGE HERE.

PERFECT. GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEE PETREA, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

CHAIR, DR. WRIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

SO, TO DATE, THE BOARD STILL CAN'T HEAR ME.

TO DATE.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? THAT IS PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

PERFECT. IT'S GOOD. SO TO DATE, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PIECES BROUGHT TO TO THE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS BROUGHT TO THE BOARD, ONE OF ONE, WHICH IS THE 7% INCREASE TO THE MID-POINT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE BOARD.

AND SO FOR TEACHERS, THAT EQUATED TO $4500 AND 4528 FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR TEACHERS.

AND THE AMOUNT FOR THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY $12 MILLION.

WE ALSO IN THE BOARD APPROVED A NEW HIRING SCHEDULE FOR OUR BUS DRIVERS, AND THAT WAS AT A START RATE OF $20.

AND THAT'S APPROXIMATELY $60,000 INVESTMENT, $60,000 INVESTMENT.

THE BOARD ALSO APPROVED A WEEKEND CUSTODIAL RATE OF $40 PER HOUR, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ASSUMED TO PASS THROUGH FOR THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO BE RENTING OUR FACILITIES.

AND THEN THERE WAS A VARIOUS OTHER STIPENDS AND INCENTIVES THAT THE BOARD APPROVED.

ONE OF THEM WAS A HIGH NEED CAMPUS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION STIPEND OF 1500 DOLLARS.

WE CALL THAT THE FOCUS CAMPUSES.

I DID RESPOND TO A BOARD QUESTION IN TERMS OF WHAT CAMPUSES THOSE WERE.

SO THAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL.

INVESTMENT OF $302,000.

WE ALSO MOVED AWAY FROM A TIERED APPROACH OF TIERED APPROACH FOR BILINGUAL STIPEND AND JUST MADE IT A FLAT AMOUNT OF $7100.

AND THAT PUTS US AHEAD OF OUR PEER DISTRICTS, AND THAT IS AN INVESTMENT OF APPROXIMATELY $226,000, AN ASSISTANT MARIACHI DIRECTOR STIPEND OF $8,000. AND TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS TO PROVIDE A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION TEACHER STIPEND OF $2,000 IN INVESTMENT. INITIALLY, WE'RE THINKING TRYING TO RECRUIT ABOUT FIVE.

THAT WILL INCREASE OVER TIME AS WE BEGIN TO RECRUIT THOSE MORE AGGRESSIVELY.

WE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN TWO DIFFERENT OUT-OF-COUNTRY PROGRAMS FOR TEACHERS AND THAT ONE OF THEM IS WITH SPAIN AND THE OTHER IS FOR CENTRAL AMERICA, INCLUDING CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO.

AND THEN YOU ALSO APPROVED A GUEST TEACHER INCENTIVE FOR THOSE THAT ARE WORKING AT 90 DAYS AND ABOVE, AND THAT WOULD BE PAID OUT ON JULY THE 15TH, APPROXIMATELY THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, EACH YEAR.

AND SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF THE CHANGES YOU DID APPROVE.

YOU ALSO APPROVED SOME POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT COMPENSATION RELATED, AND THOSE ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR COMPENSATION PLAN.

I DID PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATED COMPENSATION PLAN TODAY THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH A LITTLE LEGEND AT THE TOP OF THAT PLAN.

[00:05:01]

YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, AT BEGINNING IN MARCH, YOU APPROVED SUMMARY CLASSIFICATIONS, YOU DID APPROVE SOME ADDITIONAL POSITIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAD APPROVED ADDITIONAL SECURITY RECLASSIFICATION OF THAT SECURITY POSITION, AND THOSE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES.

SO THOSE ARE ALREADY EMBEDDED, THE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS OR THINGS THAT ARE STILL PENDING OR JUST SOME REVISIONS THAT WE'VE NEEDED TO MAKE.

SO WITH THAT, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT AND HAVE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.

OKAY, GREAT. WE'LL, GO AHEAD AND STOP THERE AND ASK FOR QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE.

AND WE JUST GOT THIS REVISED COMPENSATION PLAN MINUTES BEFORE OUR MEETING.

SO ARE THERE ANY ANY HUGE CHANGES YOU WANT TO POINT OUT TO US? AND THESE WILL BE PRESENTED ON THE CHANGES WILL BE PRESENTED AT AS A TRANSMITTAL LATER THIS YEAR OR IN JUNE, I SHOULD SAY, THIS YEAR.

BUT YES. SO SOME KEY PIECES IS, AS YOU LOOK AT THE TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE, ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE DO WANT TO MAKE IS ENSURING THAT OUR JROTC INSTRUCTORS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY INSTRUCTOR PAY INCREASE THAT IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

CURRENTLY, OUR JROTC TEACHERS ARE ON THE AP ONE SCHEDULE AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE COMPENSATED AS AN INSTRUCTOR AND THAT THEY BENEFIT FROM INSTRUCTOR PAY INCREASES.

THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO ADMINISTRATION OVER SEVERAL YEARS, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING.

EACH YEAR I DID SIT DOWN WITH LIEUTENANT WEMPE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER HIM AS AN INSTRUCTOR.

HE'S A YEAR ROUND INSTRUCTOR AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT HE BENEFITS FROM THAT SALARY INCREASE AS A TEACHER.

SO THAT'S ONE KEY CHANGE THERE.

ON THE FIRST PAGE, WE DID TALK ABOUT SOME ESSER POSITIONS THAT YOU DO SEE PROPOSE ON PAGE THREE.

THEY ARE IN BLUE.

THE GREEN IS SIMPLY A, YOU KNOW, A REVISION.

SO YOU'LL SEE THOSE GREENS IN THERE.

YOU ALSO SEE THE JROTC REMOVED FROM THAT AP ONE SCHEDULE.

AND WHERE DID YOU MOVE THE JROTC? INTO THE TEACHER? SO OKAY, SO IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST FALLING OFF.

RIGHT, AND HE IS LISTED ABOVE AND I WENT AHEAD AND LISTED WE WENT AHEAD AND LISTED SOME OTHER EXAMPLES OF TEACHER TYPES THAT ARE PAID SO HE WOULDN'T BE A ONE OFF.

WE ALSO HAVE SEE ARTS ON THE COVER PAGE.

THAT'S RIGHT. THOSE HAD PREVIOUSLY NOT BEEN LISTED FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES.

WE WANTED TO LIST SOME OF THOSE ON THERE.

I MEAN, MAYBE WHEN WE WHEN YOU BRING THIS TO US TO VOTE ON IT MIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS JUST SORT OF BLACKED OUT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT LIKE AN ASTERISK AND MAYBE HAVE ABSOLUTELY SOME KIND OF DISCLAIMER THERE BECAUSE I YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING THAT IT DOESN'T GET PICKED UP. BUT I DID SEE I DO SEE WHERE YOU'RE SAYING ON THE COVER PAGE.

OKAY, THAT'S HELPFUL. WHAT WHAT ELSE? THAT'S REALLY SOME THAT'S ONE THAT WE HAD NOT DISCUSSED IN THE PAST.

I KNOW THAT WE ARE STILL THIS IS STILL DRAFT.

I DID GO AHEAD AND WATERMARK IT BECAUSE WE HAD SOME RESEARCH DISCUSSION TO DISCUSS AROUND COACH SOME STIPENDS AROUND COACHING.

SO WE'RE STILL CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THAT AND TO STUDY THAT, THAT'S REALLY NOT QUITE THERE YET.

ANOTHER ONE THAT THAT I HAVE NOT DISCUSSED HAS BEEN THE NEED TO BRING OUR CHILD CARE DIRECTOR.

WHEN WE INCREASE THE CHILD CARE WORKERS TO THE MINIMUM OF 14.03, WE KNOW THAT IT PUTS THEM RIGHT WITH THE DIRECTOR PAY GRADE.

AND SO TO KEEP THEM SEPARATE, WE NEED TO RECLASSIFY THAT DIRECTOR POSITION.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE HADN'T HAD EXPLICIT DISCUSSION ON, BUT WANTED TO BE SURE THAT I MENTIONED THAT.

THAT'S ON PAGE SEVEN AND THAT IS ON PAGE SEVEN.

YES, MA'AM. RIGHT. OKAY.

SO PAY GRADE FIVE.

OKAY. THESE OTHERS WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT, I'M ON PAGE EIGHT.

WE'VE DISCUSSED THOSE PROPOSED.

ANOTHER ONE THAT WE HAD A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT HAS BEEN PAGE NINE TO BRING THE BUS MONITORS TO A GUARANTEED 6 HOURS.

I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN EXPLICIT DISCUSSION WITH THEM.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN A POINT OF CONTENTION.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE 8 TO 6 AND 6 TO 8 BUS DRIVER.

THERE ARE NO CHANGES.

I DO HAVE.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A LEAD BUS DRIVER PAY SCALE AND I KNOW THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH MR. RAO, BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENTIAL IN THOSE TWO SCALES AND WE WANT TO BE SURE THOSE ARE TRANSPARENT.

SO THAT IS FORTHCOMING.

AND THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE ON THIS PAGE 11 MORE THAN LIKELY, AND THAT WOULDN'T BE A STIPEND.

IT WOULD BE PART OF THE SALARY.

IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT PAY SCALE.

OKAY. OKAY.

SO I DON'T SEE STIPENDS ON HERE.

[00:10:01]

THE STIPENDS ARE ON HERE EXCEPT THERE ARE TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE, THE STIPENDS ARE ON PAGE 16.

OKAY RIGHT WELL THERE'S SOME ALSO ON PAGE.

YES, THERE ARE SOME ON PAGE 12.

RIGHT. AND WE WENT AHEAD.

THIS WILL LIKELY NOT BE ON THE FINAL COMPENSATION PLAN, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH IN TERMS ON PAGE 12, THE INCREASE THE PROPOSED INCREASE TO THE FOOTBALL MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD BE 2500.

THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE LISTED LIKE THAT.

BUT FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES, WE LISTED IT ON THERE FOR FOR THAT VERY PURPOSE.

IT IS HELPFUL TO SEE IT THAT WAY, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

LET'S SEE.

THERE IS A STRIKE OUT ON PAGE 14 FOR LEAD CUSTODIAN.

THAT DIFFERENTIAL WAS ACTUALLY EMBEDDED INTO THEIR SALARY VERSUS IT BEING A SEPARATE STIPEND, AND THAT ACTUALLY BENEFITS THE EMPLOYEE AS WELL.

AND THAT IS BASICALLY THAT'S BEEN A PRACTICE ALREADY IN PLACE.

IT JUST HAD NOT BEEN CORRECTED ON THE ON THE COMPENSATION PLAN.

OKAY. WE'VE JUST DISCUSSED EVERYTHING ON PAGE 17 TO DATE.

PAGE 19.

WE WENT AHEAD AND ADDED EXPLICITLY TO DELIMIT THE READING ACADEMY STIPENDS ONLY TO K-3 AS REQUESTED TRUSTEE PETRI.

THE OTHER IS THAT WE'VE NOT HAD EXPLICIT DISCUSSION ON HAS BEEN THE BILINGUAL TEACHER INCENTIVE.

THIS YEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, I DID REQUEST FROM THE BOARD TO APPROVE A RETENTION AND A RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE FOR THE 2122 SCHOOL YEAR.

I DO BELIEVE THAT WITH THE $7100 STIPEND INCREASE, I DON'T THINK THAT'LL BE NECESSARY GOING INTO THE FUTURE BECAUSE BASICALLY WE'RE BAKING IT INTO THEIR STIPEND, WHICH IS A GREAT STRATEGIC MOVE I THINK ON OUR PART.

I THINK THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

REAL QUICK ON THE ON THE READING ACADEMY STIPEND, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF SOMEBODY IS DOING THAT AT THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE LEVEL THAT THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE STIPENDS BECAUSE THE WAY IT READS, IT SAYS K-3 ONLY.

SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE IT'S OPTIONAL FOR FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO.

PRECLUDE SOMEBODY FROM GETTING THAT INCENTIVE IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT, KNOWING THAT THEY MIGHT GET MOVED NEXT YEAR AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

HONESTLY, TRUSTEE PETREA, I THINK THAT'S MY CONFUSION.

I ALSO THOUGHT I HEARD DO WE JUST LIMIT IT TO K THREE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY.. WELL THE EMAIL'S ALREADY GONE OUT SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN OFFERED TO THEM AS AN OPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY.

SO I JUST, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THEY DO THAT, THAT, THAT THE WAY WE WRITE THIS THAT WE'RE NOT TELLING THEM THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THAT.

SO MAYBE WE JUST.

OK. OKAY.

THAT WAS A HELPFUL OVERVIEW.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM. NOW LET'S OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

YES, DR. WRIGHT, GO FOR IT.

SO YOU ASK THE OTHER NIGHT ABOUT HOW MANY YEARS WOULD WE BE ABLE TO USE OUR ESSER FUNDS TO FUND INTERVENTIONISTS AND BEHAVIOR SUPPORT PAIRS? THAT RANDY VERIFIED WITH MS. NORRIS AND IT WILL BE FOR THE 23 FISCAL YEAR AND THE 24 FISCAL YEAR.

SO IT'S THIS YEAR AND THE FOLLOWING.

SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CLARIFIED WITH YOU GUYS ON THAT.

PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS LINE OR THE COMPENSATION PLAN AS WE'VE RECEIVED IT TONIGHT, MR. SEVERANCE. YES, THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO LOOKING AT PAY GRADE THREE, YOU ADDED THE ESSER SPECIALIST AT 204.

PAGE NUMBER THREE.

BUT I DON'T SEE A 204 LINE WITHIN THE DAILY.

OKAY. SO ON PAGE THREE, FOR PAY GRADE THREE, AND THEN THE BLUE IS ADDED ESSER SPECIALIST 204 WHERE YOU'VE ADDED IT TO THAT, BUT I DON'T SEE A 204 IN THE DAILY HERE ACROSS WITH WHAT THAT RATE IS.

AND THEN I'M SURE YOU'VE DONE THIS AND I'M SUPER NEW, SO I'M KIND OF THE WAY THAT THIS INFORMATION GETS IT SEEMS KIND OF CONFUSING, BUT LIKE SO YOU'VE GONE THROUGH EACH OF THESE BUCKETS AND LOOKED AT JOB DESCRIPTIONS, WORKLOAD AND DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE MOVING PEOPLE AROUND.

AND ESPECIALLY IN GRADE FOUR.

HAVE YOU DONE THAT WITH ALL THE POSITIONS WITHIN GRADE FOUR TO SEE IF THEY SHOULD MOVE UP A BAND OR MOVE AROUND AT ALL? CAN

[00:15:16]

I'M NOT SURE WHAT FORMAT THIS STIPEND LIST IS IN.

IS THIS LIKE EXCEL THAT YOU.

WHAT IS THIS FORMAT? IT IS. IT'S ACTUALLY A COMPLICATED LITTLE WORD DOCUMENT, BUT IT'S HARD TO TO MOVE THINGS AROUND.

BUT IT WOULD BE LOVELY IF IT WAS JUST LIKE, THIS IS WHAT WE DID IN 2022.

THIS IS THE BOX WE'RE DOING AT 23.

IT'S THIS RATE IN 2022.

IF THERE'S NO CHANGE, THEN IT'S JUST THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

BUT IF YOU ADD SOMETHING, GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX AND ADD IT.

AND IF YOU MAKE A CHANGE AND DENOTE WHAT THE CHANGES WITHIN THE BOX.

AND I'M NOT SAYING I'M I DON'T I'M NOT AFRAID OF WORK, BUT I LITERALLY WENT THROUGH LIKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE STIPENDS BECAUSE I COULDN'T TELL IF THEY WERE ALL THE SAME. THEY'RE NEW.

SOME OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT SPOTS.

IT WOULD JUST MAKE IT EASIER, A ONE LOOK, THIS IS WHAT'S DIFFERENT.

SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S COMING OFF YOUR RED LINE THROUGH IT, AND THEN IF IT'S SOMETHING NEW, IT GOES TO THE BOTTOM WITH A NEW FOR NEXT YEAR.

JUST SO WE I MEAN, I'VE GOT FOUR PACKETS OF THE COMP PLAN, SO I MEAN, I'M NOT FUSSING, I'M JUST SAYING IT'D BE A LOT EASIER IF IT WAS JUST PRISTINE.

WE'RE ON VERSION 18.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION ABOUT THE COMP PLAN.

WHEN YOU WENT FROM WHAT'S THE RATE THAT YOU WENT FROM 22 TO 23 ACROSS THE BOARD FOR MID HOW MUCH PERCENT INCREASE DID YOU DO? 7% ACROSS THE BOARD TO THE MIDPOINT AND MIDPOINT.

AND THEN WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE MINIMUM OF THE MAXIMUM? BASICALLY, IT'S A SPREAD FROM THAT POINT.

IT'S THREE.

RANDY CREATES THE RANGES FOR US.

SO IF I GO TO THE MIDPOINT FOR 23, IT'S GOING TO BE 7% HIGHER THAN THE MIDPOINT OF 22.

AND THEN THE LOW POINT OF 23 AND THE MAXIMUM OF 23 WILL BE SOME OTHER RATE.

AND IS IT STANDARD ACROSS ALL OF IT THAT WE ASPIRE TO? EXCUSE ME. I CAN.

I CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU.

I ALREADY HAVE IT IN A CHART, BUT BASICALLY EACH YEAR THE WAY YOU DO IT IS YOU INCREASE YOUR MIDPOINT FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT, AT LEAST ONE HALF OF YOUR GENERAL PAY INCREASE TO ACCOUNT FOR INFLATION AND TO KEEP YOUR SCHEDULE MOVING WITH MARKET.

AND SO IF YOU BUILT IT OUT FROM SCRATCH, WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IS YOUR MIDPOINT WOULD BE ONE AND THEN MINIMUM WOULD BE AROUND 80% AND MAXIMUM WOULD BE ABOUT 120.

AND THEN THAT WOULD GIVE YOU A RANGE SPREAD OF ABOUT 144%.

BUT TYPICALLY SO EACH TIME YOU MOVE THE MIDPOINT, YOU KIND OF HAVE THE CALCULATIONS OFF TO THE SIDE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR STRUCTURE STAYS THE SAME GOING FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE ONE PAY BAND, PAY GRADE ONE, THAT'S YOUR MIDPOINT, AND THEN MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM IS 80 AND 120.

THEN YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FORMULA HOLDS FORWARD, HOLDS TRUE GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR.

SO YOU WOULD INCREASE YOUR MINIMUM OR EXCUSE ME, YOUR MIDPOINT BY ONE HALF OF YOUR GENERAL PAY INCREASE GOING FORWARD.

AND THEN THE CALCULATION TAKES OVER WHERE IT TAKES THAT NEW MIDPOINT, 80% IS YOUR NEW MINIMUM, 120% IS YOUR NEW MAXIMUM. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW EACH ONE OF THOSE PAY BANDS WORKS.

AND I, I CAN PUT IT IN BOARD BLOG.

I'VE GOT IT GOING BACK LIKE FOUR YEARS.

BUT YOU SAY ONE HALF OF THE, THE, SO THE RAISE OF 7% THEN IT'S ONE HALF OF IT'S A HALF OF THAT FOR THE MIDPOINT.

BUT THIS YEAR YOU DID 7% FOR THE MIDPOINT IS WHAT WE ADJUST FOR THE.

YEAH BECAUSE THESE ARE IT'S ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE AREN'T HIRED YET THIS IS LIKE FOR PEOPLE NEW OR THEY'RE CHANGING POSITIONS SO IT'S I GOT IT.

SO IT'S THREE AND SO IT'S THREE AND A HALF FOR THE MIDDLE AND THEN SOME FORMULA FOR THE OTHER.

OKAY, THAT'S IT RIGHT NOW.

THANKS. JUST TO ADD, LIKE WHEN WE LOOKED AT WHEN TASB CAME IN AND DID THE MARKET ANALYSIS, THEY DID THE MARKET ANALYSIS BASED ON OUR CURRENT SCHEDULES.

SO WE HAD ALREADY MOVED THOSE SCHEDULES WITH THE RAISE.

SO THAT HAD THE EFFECT OF MOVING OUR SCHEDULES, WHICH YOU HOPE TO KEEP IN TUNE WITH MARKET.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT COMPARED TO WHAT WE WERE GOING INTO, WE WERE ALMOST RIGHT ON, ON THE MAJORITY OF THOSE PAY BANDS WITH THE TAXPAYERS MARKET STUDY.

[00:20:08]

ANYBODY ELSE OVER HERE HAVE QUESTIONS, MR. MCMANUS? I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION, IS THAT CURRENT TEACHERS THAT ARE DOING THAT OR ARE THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE HIRING THAT ARE NEW TO THE TO THE DISTRICT? I'M NOT EVEN REAL SURE WHAT THAT IS.

SO SOME EXPLANATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

YEAH. SO DR.

PETTUS IS ONE OF OUR VERY EXPERTS.

SHE'S A PRODUCT OF THIS PROGRAM.

SO THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION IS THAT IS A NATIONAL RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATION PROCESS.

MANY TEACHERS WILL DESCRIBE IT AS LIKE A GRADUATE TYPE OF DEGREE.

IT'S A VERY INTENSIVE PROGRAM THAT COULD TAKE UP TO TWO YEARS OR IF NOT MORE, TO ACQUIRE THAT CERTIFICATION.

AND TYPICALLY WHAT DISTRICTS HAVE DONE HAVE SUPPORTED TEACHERS THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO BECOME NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED.

AND IT'S A PROCESS THAT HAS TO BE RE CERTIFIED AFTER X NUMBER OF YEARS, I BELIEVE IT'S FIVE, FIVE YEARS AFTER FIVE YEARS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE RECOGNIZED THE VALUE OF THIS CERTIFICATION.

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT STUDENTS THAT WORK UNDER A NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER HAVE HIGHER PERFORMANCE WITH THOSE STUDENTS THAT THEY'RE SERVING.

AND SO AT A NATIONAL LEVEL, WE'VE KNOWN THIS TEXAS HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT BEHIND ON THAT.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DISTRICTS LIKE OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICT, JUST AUSTIN HAS OVER 220 SOMETHING NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS BECAUSE FOR YEARS THEY'VE GROWN THEM AND HAVE SUPPORTED THEM THROUGH MENTORING PROGRAMS, HAVE SUPPORTED THEM ONCE THEY HAVE FINISHED BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A STIPEND OF $2,000.

SO WHERE THEY HAVE OVER 200 NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS, WE ARE JUST STARTING OUR VERY FIRST COHORT.

WE HAVE 6 TO 7 THAT PARTICIPATED IN WHAT WE CALL A PRE CANDIDACY WHERE THEY DEVELOP AN AWARENESS AND SOME LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY'RE GETTING READY TO GO INTO.

AND WE WILL BEGIN OUR FIRST COHORT OF TEN HOPEFULLY THIS COMING FALL.

SOME OF THEM MAY FINISH WITHIN A YEAR TO TWO YEARS, BUT MOST OF THEM WILL FINISH IN AT LEAST TWO YEARS.

ONCE THEY ACHIEVE THEIR CERTIFICATION STATUS, THEN THEY WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE $2,000 STIPEND.

WHILE THEY ARE GETTING THAT CERTIFICATION, WE ALSO WANT TO BE ABLE TO RECRUIT TEACHERS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE OR OTHER STATES THAT ALREADY HAVE THIS CERTIFICATION UNDER THEIR BELT AND RECRUIT THEM WITH THE $2,000 INCENTIVE.

OKAY. RIGHT.

I THINK THAT'S A MATTER OF HOW.

SO THE THERE ARE FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH WITH THIS IT'LL BE AN ISSUE FOR EVERY TEACHER THAT WE GET. WE GET AN ALLOTMENT.

RIGHT. AND OUR COMMITTEE HAS SAID THAT THE TEACHER WOULD GET 90% OF THAT ALLOTMENT.

SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY ONE TEACHER, BUT NOT NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED.

BUT UNDER THE SAME PROGRAM THAT RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY $4,000 IN ALLOTMENT, THE TEACHER WOULD GET 90% AND THEN THE 10% COULD BE USED TO DEVELOP OTHER TEACHERS TO DEVELOP AND FURTHER DEVELOP THE PROGRAM.

OR THE DISTRICT COULD DECIDE WE DON'T WANT TO INVEST IN THAT WAY.

WE COULD USE IT THIS AS A PASS THROUGH.

I'M NOT SO SURE THAT I'M RECOMMENDING RIGHT NOW THAT IT'S A PASS THROUGH BECAUSE WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DEVELOP OUR PROGRAM.

SO I THINK INITIALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THAT 10% IS PAY FOR OUR PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE TEXAS NATIONAL COALITION OF BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS TO DEVELOP OUR FIRST COHORT.

I THINK ONCE WE HAVE A GOOD NUMBER LIKE AUSTIN HAS OVER 200 TEACHERS, 220 SOMETHING TEACHERS, 10% EQUATES TO A LOT.

THEN WE COULD USE THAT THOSE DOLLARS TO FUND THIS STIPEND.

SO OVER TIME IT COULD FUND ITSELF.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN THE INFANCY.

WE JUST WANT TO GET IT GOING.

RIGHT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS HELPFUL.

AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS ABOUT THE ONE RIGHT BELOW THAT.

JUST BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT IS, THE OUT OF COUNTRY TEACHER, MENTOR AND SUPPORT TEACHERS.

HOW MANY POSITIONS DID YOU SAY THAT WAS? SO WE HAD SO WE HAVE CURRENTLY FIVE AND FIVE, FIVE SPAIN, FIVE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO RECRUIT FROM MEXICO AND HAVE ALREADY STARTED THAT PROCESS.

SO THESE PROGRAMS REQUIRE US AS A DISTRICT TO SUPPORT TO HAVE A TEACHER SUPPORT PERSON.

SO A LOT IT'S INTENSE WORK.

SO WHEN THEY ACTUALLY THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO COME IN AND FLY IN IN JULY, THEY'LL BE HERE ON A SATURDAY.

WE WILL PICK THEM UP FROM THE AIRPORT.

WE'LL IMMEDIATELY TAKE THEM TO A BANK.

WE'LL FIND THEM HELP THEM FIND HOUSING, WE'LL HELP THEM WITH IT.

COULD BE FINDING A CAR AND JUST GETTING THEM GOING.

SO THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL FULL RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE WANT TO PAY A TEACHER TO SUPPORT THESE INDIVIDUALS.

THE PROGRAM ALSO REQUIRES US TO ENGAGE IN CULTURAL EXCHANGE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES SO THAT THEY BECOME ACCULTURATED AND ACCLIMATED TO THE CULTURE HERE IN THE UNITED

[00:25:10]

AND SO WE WE WILL HAVE BOTH ONE TEACHER THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE TYPE OF PROGRAM, AND IT COULD BE A TEACHER OR OTHER EMPLOYEE.

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO ASSIGN AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ASSIGNED MENTOR TO HELP THEM AND BE A POINT OF CONTACT FOR DAY TO DAY TYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE.

SO IT'S IT'S AN INCREDIBLE INTENSIVE TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP THAT I KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WILL REAP REWARDS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

OKAY, THANK YOU, THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I DIDN'T SEE THAT STIPEND CALLED OUT ON OUR STIPEND SHEET FOR THE OUT OF COUNTRY MENTOR.

AM I JUST MISSING IT? YES. SO IN FULL TRANSPARENCY, TRUSTEE PETREA WITH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ALLIANCE GROUP, WHAT THEY ARE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO STILL BE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP US FUND THAT TEACHER AT A HIGHER AT A HIGHER RATE AND TO PROVIDE US.

SO WE KNOW THAT FOR THE MENTORS, WE KNOW THAT WE WANT TO PAY $500 EACH.

WE KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW FOR THE LEAD TEACHER, SUPPORT TEACHER, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT $2,500.

BUT I'M HOPING AGAIN AND WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS THAT IF THEY COULD PAY FOR THAT FOR US, THAT COULD BE PART OF OUR NEGOTIATIONS AND WORKING WITH THEM.

AND WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THAT.

WHILE WE HAVE THE SPAIN TEACHER PROGRAM ALREADY GOING, WE ALREADY KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE THEY'LL BE TEACHING.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL GROUP IS STILL UNDERWAY AND SO WE ARE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT.

WHAT THAT ENTIRE PROGRAM WILL LOOK LIKE AND THIS POTENTIALLY COULD COULD GO COULD FALL OFF.

IF WE IT COULD.

IT COULD. BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THAT I HAVE IT FUNDED BY THE BOARD IN THE EVENT THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP DOESN'T COMPLETELY I DON'T REALIZE THAT THAT FULL PARTNERSHIP OF HAVING THEM PAY FOR THAT POSITION.

AND I DIDN'T SEE THE NATIONAL BIRD CERTIFIED TEACHER STIPEND ON HERE EITHER.

CAN WE JUST ADD IT AS A PLACEHOLDER SO THAT IT'S ON? I BELIEVE THAT IT IS.

I THOUGHT THAT IT IS. I'M JUST MISS IT.

TELL ME WHAT PAGE IT'S ON NOW.

THE TRUSTEE PETRI, BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY ADOPTED THAT ONE.

IT'S NOT A CHANGE.

RIGHT? BUT IS IT JUST SOMEWHERE? BUT IT SHOULD BE ON HERE AND I WILL FIND IT.

LET'S SEE. OH, I SEE.

I THINK. YES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

PAGE 14, BOTTOM SECTION.

PERFECT. JUST A LOT.

JUST A LOT OF PAPERS.

I REALLY LIKED TRUSTEES.

EVANS'S IDEA OF MAKING THIS AN EXCEL DOCUMENT.

I KNOW THAT WOULDN'T BE FUN TO LOOK AT ON THE DAIS, BUT ONLINE IT WOULD BE OKAY.

I CAN DEFINITELY.

AND IF YOU NEED ME TO, TO PROVIDE JUST A SEPARATE DOCUMENT OF ALL THE JUST A DOCUMENT THAT JUST HAS THE CHANGES.

RIGHT. AND THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO FLIP AND TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT PAY GRADES THOSE ARE ON.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE UP TO THIS POINT? WE HAVE QUESTIONS, MR. VELA. ALL RIGHT, DR.

MEDINA, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES.

AND I KNOW WE KEEP COMING BACK.

SO I DO WANT TO ALSO GO BACK TO THE STIPEND DISCUSSION.

ONE, I MEAN, I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE TAKING A BIG STEP FOR THE BILINGUAL STIPEND, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE TASB DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE.

AND THE ONE AREA THAT WE SEEM TO STILL BE NOT LEADING THE PACK IS OUR GENERAL RESOURCE FOUR FOR SPED.

SO WE'RE STILL AT THE MEDIAN STIPEND OF 1350 COMPARED TO THE REST I GUESS COMPARED TO SIX OF THE 16.

I KNOW MYSELF. I KNOW.

TRUSTEE RUNKLE WE'RE LOOKING AT PAGE 15, THE SPECIAL ED TEACHER STIPEND, THE 1350.

YEAH, THE 1350. I KNOW THAT.

I MEAN, A FEW OF US I'LL JUST SAY A FEW OF US LAST WEEK HAD MENTIONED THAT WE WANTED TO SEE HIGHER CONSIDERATION.

WE EVEN MENTIONED EVEN 1750.

CAN I GET SOME INPUT ON THAT? ABSOLUTELY.

SO I STILL OWE YOU LOTS, BUT WE ARE CHIPPING AWAY AT THE DIFFERENT REQUESTS.

ONE OF THE REQUESTS IS TO COST OUT THE COST FOR $1,500 STIPEND, MOVING FROM 1350 TO $1500.

AND THEN TRUSTEE RUNKLE ASKED TO GO UP AS HIGH AS 1750.

I DID COMMENT LAST WEEK THAT THE TOP OF THE OF THE MARKET SEEMS TO BE AT ABOUT $2,000 AT THE VERY TOP.

SO THAT IS AN ITEM THAT STILL DO FROM US TO YOU.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU BY TOMORROW.

OKAY, GREAT. YEAH, I JUST I KNOW THAT THAT WAS THE ONE AREA THAT WE SEEM TO JUST, AGAIN, NOT BE A LEADER OF THE PACK WHEN WE COMPARE TO OUR OTHER PEER DISTRICTS.

BUT AGAIN, I MEAN, I'M GLAD WE'RE MAKING THE BIG STRIDES IN SOME OF THE OTHER TYPE OF AREAS.

[00:30:01]

I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU SOME WORK, DR.

MEDINA. JUST GO AHEAD AND GET A 1750 AND SCRATCH THE 1500.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROSCO, DO YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS UP TO THIS POINT? YES, ACTUALLY, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON SLIDE 14.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD KIND OF COME TO THE END OF OUR LAST MEETING, AND I KNOW I REQUESTED SOME INFORMATION, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE STILL WORKING ON SOME OF THAT.

INFORMATION. BUT ON PAGE 14, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT TAXPAYER PAY SYSTEMS RECOMMENDATIONS, THE 208,000.

I WANTED A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IT INCLUDES BECAUSE I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT DOING AN EQUITY ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL CLASSIFICATIONS WOULD BE LIKE OVER $1,000,000.

SO WHEN I SAW THIS AT 208, I WAS LIKE SUPER EXCITED BUT VERY CURIOUS AT WHAT IT COVERED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SEEM SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO COVER ALL THOSE EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS.

RIGHT. SO THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE IN DETAIL.

I KNOW WE SEE IT IN OUR BUDGET AND IT JUST SAYS 208,000, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SPEAK TO WHAT IT COVERS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE SOMETIMES THERE'S, YOU KNOW, UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF STUFF WE DO.

AND I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT WHOLE PICTURE.

SO IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION IN DETAIL WHAT IT COVERS, RIGHT? WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING ALL THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS THAT HAVE SPOKEN.

AND BECAUSE THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WAS IT COVERS EVERYBODY EXCEPT THE SUPERINTENDENT IS WHAT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION IS.

AND I'M LIKE, OH, REALLY? IT'S GOING TO COVER TEACHERS, ACADEMIC PROFESSIONALS, BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS, PARAPROFESSIONALS, AUXILIARY IN THAT WITH THAT EQUITY ADJUSTMENT.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR OF WHAT IT COVERS.

AND THEN ALSO ON PAGE 14, YOU HAVE CABOT.

SO THAT'S A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION THAT I'VE ALREADY MADE AND DOING IT AGAIN.

SO THE OTHER PART WAS THE CABINET RECLASSIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS.

THANK YOU FOR LISTING THEM OUT.

SO ON THIS NEW SHEET THAT WE JUST RECEIVED A FEW MINUTES AGO BEFORE THE MEETING, IT HAD A BREAKDOWN, WHICH IS AWESOME.

I LOVE IT.

THE ONLY THING I DON'T SEE HERE IS WHERE YOU GOT THESE CHANGES, RIGHT? LIKE YOU'RE MAKING SOME PRETTY HUGE CHANGES FROM LIKE TESTING.

JUST AN EXAMPLE.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE LIST, BUT TESTING SPECIALISTS FROM A PAY GRADE, AP ONE TO AN AP FOUR, THAT'S THREE PAY GRADE DIFFERENCE RIGHT? SO IT SAID IT WAS BASED ON A TASB STUDY.

SO I WOULD LIKE THE PAGE NUMBER AND I SAID I WOULD LIKE THE REFERENCE PAGE OF TASB STUDY TO SEE WHERE IT'S MAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION.

SO THAT'S MY OTHER REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.

AGAIN, BECAUSE I HAD NOT RECEIVED ALL THE INFORMATION AND I UNDERSTAND WE ASKED FOR A LOT OF STUFF, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT IT MIGHT TAKE A SECOND TO DO THAT, BUT THAT'S FOR MY PAGE 14.

SO FOR MY PAGE 15, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE INFORMATION ON THE HIGH NEED CAMPUSES.

OKAY. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BILINGUAL STIPEND OF 7100, WHICH WAS GREAT THAT WE FIXED THAT TIER APPROACH.

BUT I DON'T REMEMBER GETTING RID OF THE INCENTIVE OF THE 5500 BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TELLING BILINGUAL TEACHERS, YOU'RE GOING TO GET 7100 PLUS A 1500 IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING.

SO WHEN DID WE SAY WE WERE GETTING RID OF THAT? I DON'T REMEMBER SAYING THAT WHEN WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION.

RIGHT. SO WE LISTED IT ON THE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THIS YEAR AS 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR ONLY.

AND THAT'S THE WAY WE PUBLISHED IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO THE INTENTION MY INTENTION WAS TO BE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE BILINGUAL STIPEND AND FIND A WAY OF BAKING IT IN SO THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE COMING TO THE BOARD EVERY YEAR ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1,500 PER TEACHER, BUT RATHER THAT WE'RE SAYING IT'S JUST PART OF WHAT WE DO.

WE VALUE THAT POSITION THAT MUCH, THAT WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT AN ASIDE KIND OF A THING OR AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO AND CAN COMMUNICATE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.

SO THAT WAS THE THINKING AND THAT'S WHY WE LISTED IT AS 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR ONLY.

BUT THAT WASN'T CONVEYED TO US.

LIKE THIS IS SPECIFICALLY ONLY A ONE YEAR DEAL THAT WASN'T CONVEYED TO US.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING MOVING FORWARD THAT WE WERE GOING TO KEEP THAT INCENTIVE SO THAT DISTINCTION WAS NOT MADE.

SO MY PREMISE OF TRYING TO RECRUIT BILINGUAL PEOPLE TO OUR DISTRICT WAS 7100 PLUS A $1,500.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT WAS CLEAR.

POINT TAKEN. THANK YOU.

[00:35:01]

THEREFORE, WE I HAVE NOT ARTICULATED THAT TO PEOPLE AND I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT I SEE HAPPENING RIGHT.

BECAUSE THAT IS ALWAYS BEEN A A PART THAT HAS VERY BEEN HARD, HARD TO RECRUIT.

SO I DON'T SEE WHY MOVING FORWARD WE WOULDN'T LEAVE IT IN.

WE CAN CERTAINLY LEAVE IT.

WE COULD CERTAINLY CONTINUE THAT UNTIL WE DECIDE OTHERWISE.

THAT WAS JUST MY THINKING BEHIND IT.

DEFINITELY. ABSOLUTELY.

WE'RE GOING TO MEXICO AND SPAIN AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO RECRUIT BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

IT TELLS ME THE NEED IS STILL THERE TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

SO I WOULD SAY MOVING FORWARD, WE CONTINUE THAT AND MAYBE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION NEXT YEAR TO SEE, OH, IS IT LIKE, OH, WE HAVE A MILLION BILINGUAL TEACHERS AND WE DON'T NEED TO RECRUIT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

RIGHT. SO DO YOU SEE WHERE.

NO, ABSOLUTELY.

I'M TOTALLY TRACKING WITH YOU TRUSTEE OROSCO.

SO SINCE WE ARE HAVING TO RECRUIT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, THERE IS A NEED.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THAT PIECE IN THAT WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, RETENTION OR RECRUITMENT, WHATEVER YOU'RE CALLING IT.

BUT MOVING FORWARD, I WOULD CONTINUE WITH THAT.

AND THEN THERE WAS A QUESTION HERE, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ANSWER WAS CORRECT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S INCORRECT. THERE IS A QUESTION BY DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ WHO ASKED ABOUT ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS WITH BILINGUAL CERTIFICATION NO LONGER RECEIVING A BILINGUAL STIPEND.

AND YOU STATED OUR CURRENT PRACTICE IS TO PROVIDE THIS ONLY TO TEACHERS.

HOWEVER, WE HAD A HUGE DISCUSSION AND OUR BOARD DID APPROVE TO GIVE IT TO PRINCIPALS AND APS LAST YEAR.

SO WE DID VOTE ON THAT.

WE INCLUDED THAT IN OUR DISCUSSION AND WE CAN PULL THE VIDEO.

BUT WE DID BECAUSE WE HAD A DISCUSSION BEFOREHAND AND THEN WE HAD A DISCUSSION OFFLINE AND THEN IT CAME BACK TO THE BOARD AND WE ENDED UP INCLUDING IT FOR THAT ONE TIME THAT THEY WOULD RECEIVE THAT STIPEND.

YES, THAT IT WAS THE ONE TIME RETENTION RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE OR ADMINISTRATORS SIGNING ON THAT WE WERE GOING TO GIVE THEM THAT.

RIGHT, I DON'T HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION IN TRUSTEE OROSCO THAT IT WAS A PERMANENT PIECE TO THE COMPENSATION PLAN, BUT THAT WE WOULD..

I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS PERMANENT. IT'S JUST THAT WE DID IT LAST YEAR.

THAT IS CORRECT. BUT RIGHT HERE IS MISLEADING BY SAYING OUR CURRENT PRACTICE BECAUSE THAT WASN'T OUR PRACTICE FOR 21-22 DID INCLUDE ADMINISTRATOR STIPEND. THE BILINGUAL AP AND PRINCIPAL ALSO RECEIVED IT.

IF THEY WERE ON A BILINGUAL CAMPUS, REMEMBER WE HAD THAT.

THAT IS THAT'S I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR FOR DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE HAD A HUGE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR PRINCIPAL AND AP DID RECEIVE THAT STIPEND AND IT WAS GOING TO BE A ONE TIME STIPEND.

NONETHELESS, THEY DID RECEIVE IT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY WERE PERFORMING ON A BILINGUAL CAMPUS WITH BILINGUAL NEEDS, COMMUNICATING AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND.

IF THEY WERE JUST IN A MONOLINGUAL CAMPUS, THEY WERE ADDRESSING BOTH.

SO THERE WAS LOTS OF PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES, BUT NONETHELESS OUR BOARD AGREED TO THAT.

SO AND THE WAY I INTERPRETED THAT QUESTION, DR.

PEREZ, WAS WHAT IS IT THAT, THE WAY I INTERPRETED YOUR QUESTION WAS ON ANY GIVEN YEAR.

EVEN BEYOND THIS YEAR, WHAT WOULD A TEACHER, IF THEY WERE A BILINGUAL TEACHER GOING INTO A BILINGUAL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL POSITION OR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FROM YEAR TO YEAR? WHAT IS THAT THAT THEY WOULD LOSE FOR MOVING FROM POSITION TO POSITION? THIS WOULD BE THIS ONE YEAR.

BUT UNLESS THE BOARD DECIDES OTHERWISE, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS QUOTE UNQUOTE, BAKED INTO THE COMPENSATION THAT WAS AGREED UPON BY THIS BOARD FOR FUTURE YEARS. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO CONTINUE DOING THAT, BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.

I KEEP HEARING THE SAME THING FROM OUR TEACHERS WHO WANT TO MOVE INTO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, BILINGUAL TEACHERS THAT GET THE STIPEND, AND THEN THEY MOVE INTO AN AP OR PRINCIPAL POSITION, AND THEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY LOSING PAY.

SO THAT'S WHY WE CANNOT SEEM TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT BILINGUAL FOLKS ON THAT LEVEL.

RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY.

DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THAT AT OUR BILINGUAL CAMPUSES IS WE WANT TO PROMOTE THAT.

AND WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE FOLKS THAT SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE OR, YOU KNOW, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

[00:40:03]

SO THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER DISCUSSION.

BUT YOU WOULD BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT MY FIRST DISCUSSION THIS MORNING WAS WITH DR.

WRIGHT MAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION AND ACTUALLY INITIALLY HAD IT ON THIS COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THIS EVENING.

AND I TOOK IT OFF BECAUSE I SAID, I DON'T SECOND GUESS YOURSELF, DOCTOR.

ABSOLUTELY. I'LL VERIFY THAT CONVERSATION EARLY.

WONDERFUL. I WAS JUST I WAS JUST WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO BREATHE SO I COULD JUMP IN.

BUT, YEAH, THIS MORNING HE CAME IN AND HE SAID HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS OUR PRACTICE THIS YEAR.

WE WANT TO LOOK AT THIS MOVING FORWARD.

AND HE ASKED ME HOW I FELT ABOUT IT AND I SAID, WELL, IF WE IF WE REALLY WANT TO TO MERGE THEORY INTO PRACTICE AND WE WANT TO HIRE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS THAT HAVE BEEN BILINGUAL, TEACHERS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY TAUGHT BILINGUAL IN A BILINGUAL CAMPUS, THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY CONTINUE WITH THAT.

OTHERWISE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO MAKE THE SWITCH.

AND SO THAT HELPS US BECAUSE THEN THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR BECAUSE THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THERE.

AND SO THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

AND AND I THINK I WAS CONFUSED TOO ABOUT WHETHER IT WOULD CONTINUE OR NOT.

BUT I THINK WE DEFINITELY NEED TO PUT THAT IN FOR THE CAMPUSES WHERE WE TEACH BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

WE SHOULD ALLOW THAT TO OCCUR IN PERPETUITY.

AND WE EVEN WERE VERY SPECIFIC SAYING THOSE BILINGUAL CAMPUSES, YOU KNOW, WITH K TO FIVE SPECIFICALLY OR PRE K TO FIVE OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE A ONE OFF AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE CLASS OF BILINGUAL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BILINGUAL CAMPUSES.

SO, SO GREAT, DR.

WRIGHT, THAT YOU'RE ON BOARD WITH THAT AND DR.

MEDINA FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU MADE ME WORK SO HARD FOR THAT.

OH, I LOVE TO WATCH YOU WORK HARD TRUSTEE OROSCO.

HONEY, I HAVE TONS OF OTHER STUFF THAT I CAN WORK ON.

DON'T MAKE ME WORK ON SOMETHING THAT'S A GIVEN.

SO GREAT. SO YOU'LL BRING THAT TO US NEXT TIME, RIGHT WITH THE COST? BUT IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT ON THERE.

AGAIN, THERE IS A LOT OF NEW INFORMATION GIVEN TO US.

SO I HAVE LIKE MARKS FROM THE LAST DRAFT AND THEN THE DRAFT FROM LAST YEAR.

SO IT WOULD MR. SEVERANCE HAD A VERY GOOD POINT OF HAVING THAT COLUMN, AND WE DID THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS DR.

WRIGHT. DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHERE WE HAD A COLUMN THAT TOLD US WHAT THEY GOT PAID THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND THEN WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO PAY SO WE CAN SEE THAT DIFFERENCE RIGHT? AND I ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT ALL THOSE PAY GRADES THAT MOVED AROUND, IF YOU CAN GIVE ME THAT TASB PAGE NUMBER TO REFERENCE.

I DON'T NOT QUITE UNDERSTANDING THIS MARIACHI ASSISTANT HIGH SCHOOL GETTING 8000 WHILE THE BAND ASSISTANT I MEAN WHILE THE MARIACHI HIGH SCHOOL IS 7000.

I DON'T GET THAT. AND I KNOW YOU TOUCHED UPON IT A LITTLE BIT AND YOU SAID IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT BEING STRATEGIC.

TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

SO WHEN WE WERE RECRUITING THE MARIACHI DIRECTOR, ONE OF THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAD WAS THE EXISTING COMPENSATION FOR THE MARIACHI DIRECTOR.

BUT WE KNEW WE HAD SOME FLEXIBILITIES WITH THE STIPEND BECAUSE THAT WAS ALREADY PUT IN PLACE.

THE THINKING WAS THAT IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD EMBED THAT STIPEND LIKE WE DO WITH THE HEAD HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR.

YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T GET ANOTHER STIPEND ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT'S EMBEDDED INTO THEIR THEIR INTO THEIR RATE.

RIGHT. AND SO THE BUT THAT REQUIRES SOME DISCUSSION AND I WANT TO BE SURE TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSION WITH THAT MARIACHI DIRECTOR.

I HAD NOT AND HAVE NOT HAD THAT DISCUSSION WITH HIM YET TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WOULD BE NO STIPEND THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR HEAD BAND DIRECTOR, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE A PART OF HIS COMPENSATION.

AND SO THAT WAY THE OPTICS WOULDN'T BE EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

BUT I CAN'T OPERATE AND CHANGE THE COMPENSATION PLAN ON MY OWN RIGHT.

I WANT TO BE SURE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM, EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY THAT IS HAPPENING AND THEN MAKE THAT CORRECTION.

AND I HOPE TO HAVE THAT TO YOU, YOU KNOW, LATER THIS MONTH.

AND THAT WAY IT'S APPROVED AND CORRECTED.

SO THEN YOU'RE SAYING THAT WOULD BE AN OBSOLETE? THAT WOULD BE OBSOLETE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THE 8000 WOULDN'T LOOK SO BAD NEXT TO THE 7000.

THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT. YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. THAT IS HELPFUL.

IT MAKES IT MORE REASONABLE BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE ON THAT.

THE OTHER THING.

THERE IS A LOT OF CHANGES AND I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THOSE CHANGES.

ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THE NEW COMPENSATION PLAN IS THE ESSER ESL SPECIALIST.

THAT'S A PAY GRADE ONE.

HOWEVER, THAT ESSER SPECIAL IS IS A PAY GRADE THREE.

TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THESE TWO SPECIALISTS.

I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THAT MONEY [INAUDIBLE].

[00:45:04]

BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN AN ESSER ESL SPECIALIST AND AN ESSER GENERAL SPECIALIST BECAUSE AND I DON'T KNOW IF MS. SEDILLO WANTS TO ANSWER THAT OR..

I KNOW WE WERE LOOKING AT JUST GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY INTERVENTION SUPPORT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

AND SO I THINK THAT THE TITLE MAY BE MISLEADING IF IT JUST SAYS GENERAL.

AND THE OTHER ONE SAYS ESL.

AT SOME POINT LAST YEAR, I BELIEVE WE, THE ESSER ESL INTERVENTION TEACHER POSITION, WAS APPROVED TO SERVE AT CENTRAL OFFICE TO HELP SUPPORT ALL OUR INTERVENTION SERVICES, PARTICULARLY LOOKING AT THE READING AND WRITING.

AND SO I'M THINKING THAT'S WHAT IT IS, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE NEW COMP PLAN, SO I REALLY CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT.

SO I BELIEVE THAT.

SO I THINK I NEED TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH MS. SEDILLO, BECAUSE ON PAGE THREE OF THE OLD COMPENSATION PLAN ON PAY GRADE.

ON THAT SAME PAY GRADE.

IT'S LISTED AS AN ESSER SEL SPECIALIST, AND THE SEL SPECIALIST WAS ALREADY IN THE COMP PLAN.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE THREE OF THE CURRENT COMPENSATION PLAN, IT'S LISTED AS AN SEL.

AND SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THAT THIS WAS JUST A CORRECTION AND THAT IT WAS NOT AN SEL POSITION, BUT RATHER AN ESL POSITION.

ACTUALLY, WE DO HAVE AN ESSER SEL POSITION TO HELP SUPPORT OUR SEL PROGRAM AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

WE JUST DIDN'T HIRE ANYONE UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR.

BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL THE SEL PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

AND SO SHE WAS GOING TO COME IN AND DO A NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO SEE HOW WE WERE IMPLEMENTING ALL OUR SEL PROGRAMS WITH FIDELITY, BECAUSE WE SAID THAT WAS ONE OF OUR GOALS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. SO WE HIRED SOMEONE FOR THAT.

SO THAT IS ACTUALLY CORRECT.

SO THEN THAT WOULD BE A MOOT POINT THAT IT WOULD NOT BE HIGHLIGHTED AT ALL, SHOULD NOT THEN THAT WILL STAY AS AN SEL POSITION.

MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THAT WAS A CORRECTION.

SO YOU SEE HOW CONFUSED I AM.

THANK YOU. AND ONE POTENTIAL CLARIFICATION AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, DR.

MEDINA, BUT I THINK THE FINE ARTS POSITIONS THAT WERE JUST MENTIONED, THE ASSISTANT MARIACHI STIPEND AND THEN HEAD BAND DIRECTOR, I THINK IT ALL GOES BACK TO WHETHER THEY ARE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL DAYS.

AND SO LIKE THE HEAD BAND DIRECTORS, THEY WORK TO 26 AND I THINK THE ASSISTANT MARIACHI DIRECTOR AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG WAS GOING TO BE ON A TEACHER SCHEDULE PLUS A STIPEND WHERE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO GET THE EXTRA DAYS.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL COMPENSATION PACKAGE, I MEAN, IT'S SIX ONE.

I MEAN, YOU CAN PAY IT IN DAYS OR YOU CAN PAY IT IN STIPENDS.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHY INSTEAD OF THE EXTRA DAYS IT WAS AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT THAT'S A VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

DR. WRIGHT, IT DOES GET VERY COMPLICATED BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO BAKE THAT, BAKE THAT $8,000 INTO THE SALARY, BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE INCREASING THE DAILY PERMANENTLY, THE BASE SALARY, THE DAILY RATE.

AND SO SOMETIMES THE STRATEGY IS TO APPROACH IT FROM A STIPEND STANDPOINT, AND THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETIMES THE EASIEST WAY.

IN WHICH CASE, GIVEN THE COMPENSATION PLAN THAT WE HAD AT THE TIME, IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH IT.

HOWEVER, IT DOES CREATE THE OPTICS OF IT IS HOW IS IT THAT A HEAD BAND DIRECTOR MAKES LESS THAN A THAN ASSISTANT OR ASSISTANT MAKING MORE THAN A HEAD? AND SO WE NEED TO FIX THAT.

BUT THE IMPACT OF THAT WILL BE THAT THE BASE RATE OF THE MARIACHI HEAD DIRECTOR WILL BE COULD BE INFLATED BECAUSE OF IT.

BUT THAT'S THE WAY THAT CAN BE CORRECTED.

OKAY. AND THEN DO WE KNOW THAT I JUST WANT TO BE COGNIZANT THAT WE'RE JUST NOT ADDING MORE WORKDAYS RIGHT TO PEOPLE AND SAY, OH, YOU'RE GETTING A RAISE BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY NOT IF YOU'RE JUST WORKING MORE DAYS FOR, YOU KNOW, COMES OUT LESS THAN, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT BECAUSE WE ARE AN EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ORGANIZATION.

AND YOU HAVE PUT US ON THE MAP FOR THAT DOCTOR WRIGHT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO MOVE BACKWARDS ON THAT.

SO JUST KEEPING THAT IN MIND AND I HAVE TONS OF QUESTIONS, BUT I WILL HOLD SOME OF THEM SO MY COLLEAGUES CAN ALSO ASK QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE OROSCO, I WILL SAY THAT THAT'S A VERY REASON WHY WE DIDN'T JUST PLACE THE MARIACHI DIRECTOR ON THE 226, BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EVEN EASIER THING TO

[00:50:01]

SO, YES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT IN MIND FOR ALL POSITIONS, RIGHT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT, DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. I SIMPLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO TRUSTEE OROSCO FOR MAKING SURE THAT THINGS WERE CLARIFIED AS FAR AS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, THE BILINGUAL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL POSITION QUESTION THAT I ASKED WHY.

I THANK YOU, DR.

MEDINA AND DR. WRIGHT, BECAUSE I KNOW I SUBMITTED THESE LATE THIS MORNING OR EARLY THIS MORNING, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSES.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE MANY, MANY TEACHERS HERE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT THAT ARE WORKING ON THEIR LEADERSHIP, THEIR MASTER'S DEGREES IN ADMINISTRATION, AND AS I MENTIONED IN THE QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY TAKE THIS CUT AND PAY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO HEAR THAT THIS PARTICULAR STIPEND MIGHT CONTINUE IN THE DISTRICT.

IT WOULD BE THE FIRST BECAUSE I KNOW IN PAST EXPERIENCE I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN THAT CUT IN PAY.

SO I THINK IT JUST BE SOMETHING THAT OUR OUR TEACHERS WOULD BE LOOKING FORWARD TO, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE SOME REALLY EXCITING BILINGUAL TEACHERS IN OUR DISTRICT NOW THAT ARE EAGER BEAVERS.

AND I KNOW WE'LL DO AN EXCELLENT JOB AS ADMINISTRATORS ON OUR VARIOUS TITLE ONE CAMPUSES, AND THAT'S JUST A HUGE BENEFIT BECAUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW OUR SYSTEMS. AND SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN KIND OF SHAPE THEM UP TO BE THOSE PARTICULAR ADMINISTRATORS THAT WE NEED HERE AT HAYS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION.

THANK YOU. AWESOME.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR RIGHT NOW, MR. SEVERANCE? I DON'T KNOW IF I KNEW THAT WE WERE TAKING QUESTIONS ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE, BUT I DID HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE DID LAST TIME, IF I CAN ANSWER A COUPLE OF.

PAGE 14, SO I'VE HAD TIME TO PROCESS THIS A LITTLE BIT LONGER NOW.

SO THE NEW POSITIONS REQUEST THAT WE DID FROM THE APRIL BOARD MEETING, DID THOSE JOBS GET POSTED AND DID WE THE EARLY RELEASE JOBS, DID WE GET THOSE POSTED? AND ARE THOSE ARE THEY WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF THOSE HIRINGS? THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE, FOR THAT QUESTION.

SO THE INTENTION WAS FOR THOSE POSITIONS TO GET POSTED.

AT THE 11TH HOUR SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE BOARD MOTION DID COMPLICATE THINGS A LITTLE BIT.

THE MOTION WAS SPECIFICALLY THAT THESE POSITIONS WOULD BE ADOPTED FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR COMPENSATION PLAN.

THAT RIGHT THERE, IT COMPLICATES THINGS BECAUSE I HAD BROUGHT THEM TO THE TABLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE POSTED IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR RECLASSIFIED DAYS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE BOARD APPROVED THE SECURITY POSITION, WHICH WE HIGHLY VALUED, BUT THE MOTION WAS THAT THEY WOULD BE FOR THE 22-23 COMPENSATION PLAN.

AND BUT MY INTENTION TO BRING IT TO YOU WAS FOR YOU TO APPROVE IT IMMEDIATELY SO THAT WE CAN POST IT AT THE NEW PAY GRADE IMMEDIATELY.

AND SO THAT'S THE THAT WAS THE INTENTION FOR US.

. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HEARING OF THIS.

SO WE COULD HAVE CLEANED THAT UP AT THIS BOARD MEETING WITH AN ACTION ITEM OR LAST WEEK'S BUDGET MEETING.

THAT IS CORRECT. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING.

THAT'S THE FIRST I'M HEARING THAT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MOTION.

IT.

RIGHT THIS SECOND. THIS IS JUST THIS SECOND.

THIS IS WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THIS IN.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT TRUSTEE PETREA, WE IT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN THERE JUST HAS NOT BEEN WORKED OUT.

WELL IT WAS FOR EARLY RELEASE, SO OK.

SO IN MY MIND IT WAS FOR EARLY RELEASE.

IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN COMPLICATED, BUT I THINK THAT THE INTENTION AND THE INTENT IS THERE FOR IT TO BE POSTED IMMEDIATELY.

OKAY. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS FOR JUNE 20TH MEETING? AND I MEAN, IT MAY BY THEN, I GUESS, WELL, WE'RE APPROVING THIS HOPEFULLY ON THE 27TH, SO.

YES. OKAY.

SO WHAT WE DID JUST TO CONFIRM WE DIDN'T DO FOR THE COLOR GUARD POSITIONS.

WE DIDN'T MOVE ON THOSE.

THE COLOR GUARD POSITIONS WERE DIFFERENT.

THEY WERE DIFFERENT.

OKAY. THAT MOTION WAS I BELIEVE THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

THAT WAS EXACTLY THAT WHEN THE MOTION WAS CHANGED THAT NIGHT.

LATER WE REALIZED THIS LATER LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS TALKING TO MR. CLEAVER, THAT THAT WAS THE ISSUE.

BUT IN MY MIND, IT WAS THE BOARD'S INTENT FOR IT TO BE APPROVED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

OKAY. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ON THE TASB SYSTEMS RECOMMENDATIONS, EQUITY, RE CLASS AND MARKET ADJUSTMENTS AND GOING BACK TO PAGE 17 AND TALKING ABOUT THE HIRING SCHEDULE FOR BUS DRIVERS.

[00:55:03]

AND THAT SECTION, WHEN WE UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION IS WHEN WE ADOPT WHEN WE CHANGE THE PAY GRADE FOR THE BUS DRIVERS, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED WE HAD TO DO WE HAD TO DO SOME COMPRESSION, SOME CHANGES WITHIN THAT.

AND SO ARE THOSE CHANGES IN THIS 208? NO, THAT WAS A TOTALLY WAS 60,000.

THAT'S SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THIS 208.

THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON TEAM AND YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A FEW PAPERS.

SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO TRACK WITH ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THE PAGE SEVEN OF THE TASB PAGE SUMMARY, PAGE SEVEN OF THAT.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THE COMPENSATION PLAN.

PAGE THREE OF THAT.

AT THE BOTTOM PAY GRADE FOUR.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO SOMETHING SORT OF SEE SEVERANCE TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF REEVALUATING SOME OF THESE POSITIONS IN PAY GRADE FOUR AND I ESPECIALLY WANT TO LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL BAND.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT ON PAGE SEVEN OF YOUR TASB SURVEY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WERE 5% ABOVE MARKET.

THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL OR 2% ABOVE MARKET.

AND THEN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WE'RE AT, WE'RE RIGHT AT MARKET.

SO I ALSO WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE COVER PAGE, THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR COMPENSATION PLAN.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT A 13 YEAR TEACHER WHO'S GOT A MASTER'S DEGREE AT $65,000, AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT PAY GRADE FOUR FOR AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL, WHICH AGAIN IS ON PAGE THREE, BOTTOM OF PAGE THREE, OR TOWARD THE END OF THE PAGE THREE.

THAT'S A 204.

THAT PAY GRADE STARTS AT $64,000.

SO DO YOU SEE KIND OF WHAT WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE? I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE WE'RE RAISING THESE TEACHERS, NOW OUR APS ARE MOVING INTO THESE POSITIONS, NEVER MIND A STIPEND FOR BILINGUAL OR FOR SPED OR FOR COACHING.

JUST A 13 YEAR TEACHER WITH A MASTER'S DEGREE MOVING INTO AN AP ROLE IS A PAY CUT.

SO I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

I WANT TO FIX IT.

AND I AM PROPOSING WE MOVE THAT AP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL TO A DIFFERENT PAY GRADE BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO SORT OF SNOWBALL. YOU COULD IF YOU LOOK AT THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, THAT PAY BAND IS PAID BAND FIVE AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE THREE, AND THAT STARTS AT, FOR 210 IT STARTS AT 71,000.

SO THAT TO GET TO THAT PAY GRADE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A KIND OF A 25 YEAR TEACHER AT A MASTER'S LEVEL.

AND TO ME THAT FEELS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO STOP THERE.

DR. MEDINA, DO YOU HAVE SOME THANK YOU RECOMMENDATIONS? THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO THIS IS A DISCUSSION THAT I'VE HAD WITH DR.

RIGHT, BECAUSE THIS NOT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE'S MOVING FROM A TEACHER TO AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY'RE MOVING INTO THE DIRECTOR ROLES.

IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY'RE WORKING, WHEN THEY'RE MOVING INTO ALL THESE DIFFERENT OTHER ROLES.

WHAT WHAT I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO TO OR FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER IS, YOU KNOW, I WAS TALKING TO TASB TODAY AND ABOUT THIS VERY, VERY SAME SITUATION.

AND WHAT THEY RECOMMEND IS THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF PROMOTIONAL INCREASE THAT WHENEVER YOU DO A CALCULATION AND AN INDIVIDUAL IS EXPERIENCING A PAY CUT, THEN THEY'RE NOT REALLY EXPERIENCING A PROMOTION.

AND THAT THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF PRACTICE AND THEY RECOMMEND IT ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5% THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD SEE ANYWHERE FROM A 3 TO 5%, DEPENDING ON THE PEER STUDY.

SO THAT WAY THE INDIVIDUAL AT THE VERY MINIMUM WILL EXPERIENCE A 4% INCREASE.

THAT APPROACH NOT ONLY SOLVES THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SITUATION, IT ALSO SOLVES WHEN PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM A PRINCIPAL TO A DIRECTOR OR A DIRECTOR TO AN EXECUTIVE OR A DAO, THAT OUR PROMOTIONS ARE RESULTING IN AT LEAST A 4% INCREASE.

THEY SUGGESTED ANYWHERE FROM A THREE TO A FIVE.

I'VE DONE IN THE PAST A FOUR, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING ADMINISTRATIVELY THAT'S DONE TO ENSURE THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE NOT, THAT THEY'RE BEING HELD HARMLESS TO SOME EXTENT. SO I DID MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO VISIT WITH TASB A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND LOOK AT DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.

AND WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A STRONGER RECOMMENDATION FOR THE BOARD.

BUT THAT WOULD SOLVE THIS BECAUSE THE REASON THAT YOU'RE SEEING AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU NOTICED THAT I HAD THAT START ALL OVER MY DOCUMENT.

[01:00:06]

WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF PRACTICE.

AND SO THEREFORE THEY LAND WHERE THEY LAND AND THEN THEY SHOW THAT THEY ARE WHERE THEY ARE.

SO I THINK IT'S A BIGGER ISSUE TO ADDRESS.

A DIFFERENT STRATEGY I THINK IS NECESSARY.

WELL, I'M SUPER PUMPED ABOUT THE 7%.

I JUST I SEE KIND OF WHAT WE'RE SNOWBALLING INTO.

AND I HAD A WHOLE SPEECH PLANNED ABOUT ALL THE EXTRA DUTIES AND AP TAKES ON AND THEIR EXTRA DAYS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY ON TOP OF IT.

SO I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT PLAN YOU HAVE.

AT MY COMPANY, A PROMOTION IS IS ALSO A 5% SUGGESTED PROMOTION BONUS.

SO I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT A 3 TO 5 TO SORT OF GET THAT TO FEEL MORE LIKE A PROMOTION AND LESS LIKE A TITLE CHANGE.

YES. WHICH IS WHAT IT PROBABLY FEELS LIKE NOW IN LESS MONEY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH FEELS REALLY SAD TO ME.

SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IT BECAUSE DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ QUESTIONS WERE GETTING AT THAT AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, LOOK, IF YOU'RE A HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AND YOU GO TO AN AP, I'M NOT SURE WE CAN HELP YOU THERE BECAUSE THEY MAKE 20,000 IN STIPENDS OR SOMETHING CRAZY, BUT NOT REALLY.

BUT BUT WHEN THEY'RE THEY'RE GETTING STIPENDS, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF STIPEND AND HAVE TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE, THAT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE A PAY CUT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR.

AND LOOKING ON WITH THAT.

AND ONE THING THAT I WOULD WANT THE BOARD TO CONSIDER IS THAT IS UNDERSTANDING WHY IT NEEDS TO BE A RANGE, BECAUSE YOU ALSO DON'T WANT YOUR AUTOMATIC TYPE OF PROMOTIONAL INCREASE TO THEN EXCEED THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN IN IN THOSE POSITIONS.

BUT IT ALLOWS YOU TO CURRENTLY EXCEED THE COMPENSATION PLAN IN THE WAY WE CURRENTLY ADMINISTER IT.

SO THAT'S THE STRATEGY AND PROVIDES GREATER FLEXIBILITY..

THE 3 TO 5% PROMOTION BONUS, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'VE DONE 4% IN THE PAST.

TASB'S HAD ANYWHERE FROM THREE? I STILL THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT MOVING THAT AP UP TO A DIFFERENT..

[INAUDIBLE] KNOW THAT IF WE MOVE THE AP, THE ELEMENTARY ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, AND WE MOVE THEM TO FROM A FOUR TO A FIVE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ARE NOW THERE.

SO THEN THE NEXT THING THAT YOU MIGHT CONTEMPLATE IS THEN DO WE MOVE THE ASSISTANT MIDDLE SCHOOL SYSTEM PRINCIPALS TO THE HIGH SCHOOL? WELL, NOW IF YOU MOVE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, NOW YOU'VE GOT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO AGAIN, IT BEGS, IS THERE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY? IS THERE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY BESIDES, QUOTE UNQUOTE, MESSING WITH THE PAY GRADES AT THIS POINT? I STILL THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BUTT RIGHT UP AGAINST THESE TEACHER SALARIES.

I JUST DON'T SEE HOW YOU GET AWAY FROM THAT.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, MR. MCMANUS? JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS.

SO WHAT'S SORT OF THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TIME THAT A TEACHER'S IN THE CLASSROOM BEFORE THEY BEGIN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING AND NOT BEGIN, BUT THAT THEY'RE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR AN AP POSITION REALLY AFTER THEIR THIRD? WELL, THEY BEGIN TO FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM FOR THREE, TWO YEARS.

AND AFTER TWO YEARS, REALLY BY THEIR THIRD YEAR, THEY'RE ALREADY CONSIDERING IT.

BUT REALLY, IT COULD BE AS LITTLE AS FIVE, SIX.

BUT WE SEE SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE ARE IN THE CLASSROOM 16, 17.

AND SO THERE'S REALLY NOT IT DEPENDS ON WHERE THEY ARE.

I RECENTLY IN INTERVIEWS, TEACHERS ARE SAYING IT'S MY TURN.

I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY CHILDREN AND DOING FOR THE KIDS.

AND NOW IT'S MY TURN AND IT'S MY 18TH YEAR AND I'M READY TO TAKE THAT LEAP.

WE WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE FOR THAT TEACHER.

RIGHT, AND ENSURE THAT THEY GET AT LEAST A THREE TO A 5% INCREASE AS A PROMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE.

RIGHT. I LOOK AT THIS RIGHT. SO PAY GRADE FOUR, 64395 AT THE 204.

I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING A 15 YEAR TEACHER.

WOULD THAT BE UNUSUAL? IT WOULD NOT BE UNUSUAL.

FOR A 15 YEAR TEACHER DECIDE TO BE AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL IS A NORMAL THING.

DO WE SEE THAT IN THIS DISTRICT? YES. OKAY.

SO WITH EVEN SOME OF OUR RECENT HIRES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.

ARE THEY TYPICALLY HIRED AT THE MINIMUM OR MORE TOWARDS THE MIDPOINT? HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW I MEAN, THERE'S A..

THEY WOULD NOT START OFF AT THE MINIMUM, BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IS WE GIVE THEM AT LEAST 50% FOR EACH OF THEIR TEACHING YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FOR A MAXIMUM OF TEN YEARS.

WE ALSO WILL LOOK AT THEIR RESUME AND SAY, OKAY, HAVE YOU BEEN AN INSTRUCTIONAL COACH? WE'LL GIVE YOU 70% FOR EVERY YEAR AND WE HAVE EVEN GREATER FLEXIBILITY.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE EXAMPLE THAT I GAVE TRUSTEE BETTIS WAS WE HAD SOMEONE WHO HE RECENTLY WE HIRED.

SHE WAS ONE OF OUR EXCHANGE TEACHERS WITH OUR FELLOWS PROGRAM.

[01:05:04]

SO WE GAVE HER 80% FOR EACH OF THOSE YEARS.

AND SO WE LOOK AT THAT RESUME AND TRY TO BE AS COMPETITIVE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH CREDIT AS POSSIBLE.

BUT EVEN THEN, WE STILL FALL SHORT.

AND SO WHEN WE FALL SHORT, WHAT IS THAT STRATEGY THAT WE USE THEN? AND THAT'S THE PROMOTIONAL INCREASE.

WE TRY TO APPLY IT EVERY BIT OF CREDIT THAT YOU DESERVE THAT IS ALLOWED, BUT WE'RE STILL NOT THERE.

WE WANT YOU TO AT LEAST EXPERIENCE X PERCENTAGE INCREASE.

OKAY. SO THE PROMOTIONAL INCREASE THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE ONLY FOR TEACHERS THAT WOULD BE ABOVE THE MINIMUM.

THEY WOULD. IT WOULD ONLY BE FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE EXPERIENCING LET'S SAY THAT AS A STANDARD.

WE HAD 4%.

IF THE PROMOTION LED TO LESS THAN 4%, WE WOULD BUMP THEM TO THE 4% INCREASE.

IF THE INCREASE IF THE PROMOTION.

THE EXAMPLE THAT I GAVE TRUSTEE PEREZ, YOU HAVE A TEACHER FOR TEN THAT'S BEEN TEACHING ONLY FOR TEN YEARS, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, RIGHT? IF YOU WANT TO BE A TEACHER, YOU MAKE X.

I GAVE YOU THE EXACT DOLLARS, BUT IF YOU BECOME AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR TEN YEARS, THEN YOU'RE UP AT 65,000.

THAT INCREASE ON JUST TEN SIMPLE YEARS WAS 12%.

THAT TEACHER WOULD GET THE 12% RIGHT BECAUSE WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THEY WOULD GET UNDER THE EXAMPLE OF A 4% PROMOTIONAL INCREASE, THAT THEY GET THE HIGHER OF THE TWO, BUT NEVER WOULD THEY BE BELOW 4%.

OKAY, FAIR ENOUGH.

I'M OPEN TO THE CONVERSATION OF CHANGING THE PAY GRADE FOR THAT ASSISTANT.

BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT A SNOWBALL EFFECT, AND IT'S JUST GOING TO CASCADE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS THING.

AND IF WE CAN SOLVE IT WITH THIS PROMOTIONAL INCREASE RANGE, THAT MAY BE, AT LEAST IN MY MIND, WHERE I'M AT RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

A BETTER WAY TO DO THAT, BECAUSE I THINK IT ACCOMPLISHES THE SAME THING WITHOUT SHIFTING THE ENTIRE BANDS AROUND.

AND ALSO KEEPING IN MIND THAT POSITIONS ARE PUT IN A PAY GRADE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITIES.

RIGHT. THERE'S A THERE'S A WHOLE STUDY THAT'S DONE ON WHAT ARE WHAT'S THE ROLE, WHAT'S THE RESPONSIBILITIES, WHAT'S THE LEVEL OF INFLUENCE, WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS AND SO FORTH. AND THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PLACED WITHIN THAT PAY GRADE.

RIGHT? SOMETIMES THOSE CHANGE, AS YOU SAW WITHIN THE COSBY STUDY, THAT THEY SAID BASED ON THESE RESPONSIBILITIES, WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE THEM.

RIGHT. AND SO IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY, IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY ASSOCIATED.

OKAY, THANK YOU. GREAT, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ITEM? MR. VELA YEAH, I WANT TO BACK UP TO A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE EARLY RELEASE MOTION THAT WE MADE.

I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I WANT SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE WE VOTED ON WE MADE A MOTION, WE MADE AN AMENDMENT.

WE VOTED ON THAT MOTION.

AND I WANT I MEAN, I WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND WE TALK ABOUT SECURITY BEING ONE OF OUR BELIEFS.

AND, I MEAN, I JUST FOR TRANSPARENCY SAKE, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT THIS AND I WANT TO CLARIFY TRUSTEE VELA THAT THE FOR THE MOST PART, ALL OF THE EARLY RELEASE POSITIONS THAT YOU GAVE US WERE THERE WAS NO RECLASSIFICATION, THERE WAS NO RECLASSIFICATION ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

IT WAS GO AHEAD AND BEGIN TO HIRE FOR THESE POSITIONS.

THE ONES THAT BECAME PROBLEMATIC WAS THERE WERE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES.

I THINK THERE WERE JUST TWO, BUT ONE OF THEM WAS THE SECURITY MONITOR POSITION WHERE WE NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL ONE.

AND I ASKED FOR THE RELEASE OF THAT POSITION, BUT I ALSO ASKED FOR A RECLASSIFICATION.

BUT IN THE MOTION THERE WERE SOME CHANGES MADE THAT NIGHT AND THE MOTION WAS FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR.

WITH THAT POSITION DOESN'T START JULY ONE, THAT POSITION ACTUALLY DOESN'T START UNTIL SEPTEMBER ONE.

AND SO IT COMPLICATED THINGS EVEN MORE.

AND SO MY INTENTION WAS TO BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD AND FOR SOME CLARITY, BECAUSE EVEN IF IT IS APPROVED IMMEDIATELY OR EVEN FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR, THAT POSITION DOESN'T START UNTIL SEPTEMBER ONE.

AND THAT PAY GRADE, THAT PAY CHANGE AND PAY WOULDN'T START UNTIL SEPTEMBER ONE.

THAT WAS NEVER MY INTENTION.

MY INTENTION WAS TO GET THE BOARD'S IMMEDIATE APPROVAL BECAUSE WE SAW THE NEED.

SURE. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M THE ONE WHO MADE THE AMENDMENT AND I'LL OWN THAT.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CLEAR THAT OUR INTENTION IS THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR OF OUR STUDENTS IN OUR CAMPUSES.

RIGHT. THAT'S HOW I RECEIVE IT.

SO, PRESIDENT PETREA, I MEAN, I WOULD PRESUME THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AGENDA ITEM ON OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING.

YES, DR. WRIGHT, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT? YES. IT WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING WITH THE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT AND THEN THE INTENTION, BECAUSE I WAS ARGUING WITH BARBARA AND JOANNE IN THE OFFICE SAYING, NO, THEY WANTED BOTH THE THE RECLASSIFICATION AND THE ADDED SAFETY COORDINATOR POSITION.

[01:10:06]

JUST THE RE CLASS AND NOT THE ADD ADDED SAFETY COORDINATOR.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO BRING IT BACK IN IN JUNE.

AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS INTENDED, BUT THAT'S WHAT WAS VOTED ON.

AND SO WE HAVE TO HAVE TO BRING IT BACK.

WELL, IF I FLUBBED THE MOTION, I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

BUT I FELT LIKE I READ IT TWICE.

I'LL GO BACK AND LISTEN TO IT.

BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, WE'LL BRING IT BACK JUNE 20TH FOR ACTION TO EARLY RELEASE THOSE.

UNDERSTOOD. MR. VELA AND THEN MRS. OROSCO.

YEAH. AND I'M NOT I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE HAVING SOME GREAT DISCUSSION ON THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE AS FAR AS COMPENSATION AND STIPENDS AND MIDPOINTS AND ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE DO IN THIS DISTRICT.

BUT I JUST I FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO GO BACK AND REVISIT.

SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE, I MEAN, AGAIN, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STEWARDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, SAFETY, WE COULD HAVE NEVER WE CAN NEVER PREDICT, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE HORRIBLE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED.

AND, YOU KNOW, SAFETY AND SECURITY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO ALWAYS BE I MEAN, AT LEAST FOR ME, IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE TOP OF MIND, WHICH IS WHY I FELT IT NEEDED TO BE AN AMENDMENT.

BUT ABSOLUTELY.

AND THANKFULLY, THIS POSITION IS FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH I WANT IT TO BE.

SO IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, WE'LL FIX IT SO THAT IT IS GOING TO BE HIRED IMMEDIATELY TO START BEFORE SEPTEMBER ONE SO THAT IT CAN BE A POSITION BEFORE THE SCHOOL STARTS.

MRS. OROSCO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THE AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION WAS FINE.

IT WAS ALL LEGIT.

AND YOU READ IT CORRECTLY BECAUSE YOU READ WHAT WAS ON THE PAPER WITH THAT CHANGE THAT WE VOTED ON.

SO I DON'T SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

SO I AM VERY INTERESTED IN GOING BACK TO LOOK AT THAT MYSELF AND GETTING MORE CLARIFICATION BECAUSE WHEN YOU THROW THAT OUT THERE PUBLICLY WITHOUT HAVING THAT DISCUSSION OFFLINE FIRST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK, NOT A GOOD LOOK.

AND THEN ALSO I'M GLAD THAT IT'S NOT STARTING TIL SEPTEMBER 1ST, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE SAID WHEN ALL THESE THINGS WERE BEING BROUGHT TO US.

URGENT RELEASE, WHEN THEY WEREN'T REAL, WASN'T REALLY A NEED TO URGENT RELEASE THEM.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE AMENDMENT WAS CORRECT AND THE MOTION WAS CORRECT, AND YOU DID A FABULOUS JOB.

MS. PETREA AND MR. VELA IN DOING THAT.

SO I'M INTERESTED TO IN LOOKING BACK ON THAT AND WHY IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION SOONER.

SO SINCE WE'VE HAD TWO MEETINGS SINCE THAT, WE COULD HAVE REMEDIED THAT IF IT WAS AN ISSUE.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

THANK YOU. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT IS SUMMER AND WE HAVE TIME TO FIX IT.

AND SO WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT ON JUNE 20TH.

THANK YOU, MR. VELA. I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, ARE WE READY TO MOVE TO SLIDE NUMBER 16 THEN BEFORE WE BEFORE WE DO THAT, DR.

MEDINA, WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATION ON GETTING BACK TO US ON THE AP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AP PLAN? AND THE ONLY REASON I'M PUSHING ON IT IS BECAUSE I KEEP LOOKING BACK AT THIS TASB STUDY AND WE ARE ABOVE MARKET ON THOSE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

SO I HEAR WHAT MR. MCMANUS IS SAYING, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'D HAVE AS MUCH OF A SNOWBALL POTENTIALLY AT MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PRETTY WELL OVER MARKET AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. RIGHT.

SO AGAIN, IF WE HAVE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? JUST FIRST OF ALL, I MIGHT HAVE A DISCUSSION.

WE'RE HAVING A ONE ON ONE WITH TASB NEXT WEEK.

OH THAT'S RIGHT. KEEP IN MIND ALSO THAT TASB IS COMING TO PRESENT ON THE 20TH.

AND, YOU KNOW, TO ENTERTAIN ANY SPECIFIC KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THEIR STUDY THAT MAYBE HAVEN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO THE TABLE TODAY.

AND SO HOPEFULLY BY THE 27TH, WE'LL HAVE A WHOLE COMPENSATION PLAN THAT THAT IS VERY WELL ADDRESSED AND WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT JULY ONE.

OKAY, PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONVERSATIONS WITH TAB AND THEM BEING HERE ON THE 20TH.

YEAH. SO TRUSTEE PETER, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THE THE ELEMENTARY ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS FALL THERE BECAUSE NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF THE COMPENSATION PLAN, BUT BECAUSE OF HOW WE ADMINISTER IT.

SO IF WE HAVE AN ADMINISTER IF WE ADMINISTER IT WITH A PROMOTIONAL INCREASE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE DIFFERENT NUMBERS THERE.

OKAY. OKAY.

THAT MAKES SENSE. GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT, WE ARE ON PAGE 16 AND IT'S A YELLOW PAPER, SO IT'S BEEN CORRECTED AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT ONE ON THE SCREEN.

I THINK THIS IS CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT. AND IS THIS, MR.

[01:15:01]

SO BASICALLY WHAT THIS SLIDE DOES NOW IS TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ALL THE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS THAT DR.

MEDINA PRESENTED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES, AND IT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ALL THE NON-PAYROLL ITEMS. SO YOU HAVE IN SUMMARY, YOU HAVE YOUR CAMPUSES AND YOUR MAJOR AREAS, YOUR ATHLETICS, THE DEPARTMENTS, CUSTODIAL MAINTENANCE AND SO FORTH.

A COUPLE OF THINGS I DO WANT TO POINT OUT.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME PRETTY LARGE INCREASES OR DECREASES.

SOME OF THESE ARE DUE TO RECLASSIFICATIONS.

I'LL POINT ONE OUT DISTRICT WIDE, YOU'LL SEE A 79% INCREASE.

THAT DIFFERENCE IS 1,000,002.

YOU'LL ALSO SEE A DECREASE IN THE MAINTENANCE OF ABOUT 9%, AND THAT'S DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE DISTRICT'S PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE USED TO BE EMBEDDED IN THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

WE DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS THE PROPER PLACE FOR IT SINCE IT WAS A DISTRICT WIDE ITEM.

AND SO EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE A DECREASE IN THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET, IT'S BECAUSE THAT WAS PULLED OUT.

SO IF YOU IF I WERE TO COMPARE THAT TO PULLING THAT SAME ITEM OUT IN THE PRIOR YEAR, THEN THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET INCREASED ALMOST $400,000. YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT EXCUSE ME, IN THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE UTILITIES, YOU MIGHT THINK, WELL, UTILITIES WENT DOWN AND WE'RE ADDING A CAMPUS.

WELL, THERE WERE SOME EXCUSE ME, SOME ITEMS THAT WERE IN THE UTILITIES BUDGET THAT REALLY BELONGED IN THE TECHNOLOGY BUDGET.

AND WE PULLED THOSE OUT.

SO MISS BORRESON WOULD HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO THOSE.

AND SO IN ALL INSTANCES, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN CHARGE OF THESE DEPARTMENTS PRESENTED THEIR BUDGETS TO US.

THEY WENT THROUGH THESE ITEMS AND WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THEIR NEED FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

AND IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES AS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, WE'VE GONE AND KIND OF GIVEN YOU AND LET'S JUST MOVE FORWARD ONE SLIDE SO THAT I CAN SHOW A SHOW AS AN EXAMPLE.

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO HOLD THAT THOUGHT AND JUST I WANT TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, IF YOU ALL DON'T MIND BEFORE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUALLY.

SO WE'LL TAKE A I'LL HAVE MY WATCH ON, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE CLOCK.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AN EIGHT MINUTE BREAK AND COME BACK AT 7:30.

OKAY. OKAY, WE ARE BACK.

THE TIME IS 7:35 P.M.

MR. RAU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GOING OVER THIS SUMMARY PAGE AND THE NEXT FEW SLIDES ARE MORE DETAILED.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

SO OUR FIRST ONE ON PAGE 17, ALL CAMPUSES PROPOSED BUDGET WITH A HANDY DANDY PIE GRAPH AND BAR CHARTS, WHICH I GREATLY APPRECIATE.

ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE SLIDE YOU WANT TO POINT OUT BEFORE I GO TO THE TEAM FOR QUESTIONS? AND SO I'LL KIND OF GO OVER THE SETUP OF THIS SLIDE AND ALL THE FOLLOWING ONES KIND OF MIMIC THE SAME, BUT ON THE BOTTOM LEFT YOU HAVE YOUR EXPENDITURES.

PAST THREE YEARS, CURRENT YEAR BUDGET AND PROPOSED BUDGET TO KIND OF GIVE YOU LIKE A FIVE YEAR OVERVIEW.

THE TOP RIGHT PIE CHART IS BASICALLY A GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE BUDGET SPLIT OUT INTO THE MAJOR EXPENSE CATEGORIES.

THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS USUALLY WHERE WE TRY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME ITEMS THAT ARE CONSIDERED BIG TICKET ITEMS IN THE BUDGET. IN THIS CASE, SINCE IT'S CAMPUSES, WE'RE SHOWING YOU THE STUDENT ENROLLMENT OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

BUT AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN WE GET TO THE TRANSPORTATION SLIDE, BIG TICKET IS FUEL.

SO YOU'LL SEE THE THE FUEL DOWN THERE.

AND THEN WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS PUT A NARRATIVE TOGETHER IN THE TOP LEFT AND THEN THE ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE BUDGET RIGHT UP UNDERNEATH THE THE DONUT GRAPH.

AND SO WITH THIS YOU'RE SEEING IN ESSENCE, THE INCREASE IN THE CAMPUS BUDGET IS DUE TO STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

[01:20:05]

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OVERALL CAMPUS BUDGET? SUMMARY CHART.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS IS A HUGE PART OF OUR CAMPUS BUDGETS, CORRECT.

SO YOU WANT TO GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THOSE ARE.

WELL, I'M LOOKING.

IS IT CONSUMABLES? IS IT PAPERS? IS IT REAMS OF PAPER? WHAT IS IT? A LOT OF IT'S PAPER, WORKBOOKS, STUDY GUIDES, MISCELLANEOUS READING MATERIALS, AUDIO VISUAL TYPE ITEMS. YOU MAY HAVE SOME SOME SOFTWARE LICENSES THAT THE CAMPUS PAYS FOR DIRECTLY THAT MAY JUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO TO THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS THAT WOULD BE IN THERE.

EVEN AS MUCH AS WE'VE GONE TO USING SCHOOLOGY AND GOOGLE DRIVE, WE STILL HAVE ALMOST 60% OF PAPER STUFF.

OF THE BUDGET. OKAY.

WOW. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT.

AND I KNOW WE PUSHED SOME OF THE CONSUMABLES, SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE LOOKING AS TRUSTEE OROSCO PULLED THAT ITEM.

SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THOSE ITEMS ARE BEING USED.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

MS. OROSCO, SINCE WE'RE HERE, I WOULD LIKE SOME INFORMATION.

I KNOW THAT WE ALLOCATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO EACH CAMPUS FOR THEM TO USE, AND THEN THEY ALLOCATED TO THEIR TEACHERS OR THEIR GRADE LEVEL.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR, WHAT IT IS THIS YEAR, AND HAS IT INCREASED BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAD NOT INCREASED FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

SO THERE WAS MONEY GIVEN TO A CAMPUS AND THEN IT NEVER SEEMED TO INCREASE.

SO THEN THE TEACHERS COULD ALWAYS GOT THE $100 TO SPEND IN THEIR CLASSROOM OR WHATEVER.

SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE GIVE US THAT INFORMATION, NOT TONIGHT, BUT YOU CAN SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH US.

I CAN. AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT I ANSWERED IN THE QUESTION.

THE HIGH SCHOOL PER PUPIL ALLOTMENT IS 104, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

IT'S. QUESTIONS FOR BUDGET WORKSHOP 06222.

THIS IS RESPONSES RECEIVED AND THE ONES IN RED.

IT SAYS RESPONSES RECEIVED SIX TWO.

THIS IS A QUESTION THAT I ANSWERED LAST WEEK FROM AN EMAIL THAT YOU HAD SENT MS. OROSCO. IT SAYS PAGES FROM BUDGET PRESENTATION 12 TO 13.

YES, MA'AM.

OH. OKAY.

SO I WENT AHEAD..

I'M NOT EVEN ON THE MIC. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE SO GREAT, MR. RAU. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION TONIGHT, THE HIGH SCHOOL GETS $104 PER STUDENT.

MIDDLE SCHOOL IS 99.

ELEMENTARY WAS 96.

IT WAS THE SAME LAST YEAR AS IT WAS THIS YEAR, BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE SAME BIENNIUM.

NOW, WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE TO HAYS, THOSE AMOUNTS HAD NOT CHANGED.

AND I JUST KIND OF QUIZZED SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT WERE IN MY OFFICE THAT HAD BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, AND THEY DON'T REMEMBER IT CHANGING, GOING BACK TO LIKE 2005. YES.

AND SO WHAT I DID IS I TOOK THOSE AMOUNTS FROM 2005, RAN THEM THROUGH AN INFLATION CALCULATOR.

THIS WAS THE PAST YEAR.

AND IT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS A DOLLAR IN 2005 WORTH, WHAT WOULD IT BE NOW? AND SO THAT'S WHY THE ALLOCATIONS DID GO UP.

WONDERFUL. SO THEY'RE GETTING MORE FOR THEIR CLASSROOM? THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN THE THE CE, THE T1 ONE THROUGH T FIVE, THOSE ARE THE COMP ED ALLOTMENTS THAT WE GET FOR THE CENSUS BLOCKS, TIER ONE THROUGH TIER FIVE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE THIS INFORMATION FOR MISS OROSCO.

[01:25:04]

SO FOR IMPACT AND LIVE OAK.

HOW DO YOU ALLOCATE MONEY FOR THOSE CAMPUSES? AND I ASK BECAUSE IMPACT HAS THIS AMAZING PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS.

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT WITH THE HYDROPONIC GREENHOUSE THING THAT IS HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE AND TOOTHPICKS AND TARPS AND THEY NEED HELP.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW, HOW DO WE BECAUSE IMPACT WE DON'T KNOW FROM DAY TO DAY HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE THERE.

DO THEY HAVE A CERTAIN ALLOCATIONS BASED ON THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT CAN HAVE AN IMPACT? AND SAME WITH LIVE OAK.

OKAY. IS THIS MR. ALEX COMING TO THE PODIUM? PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO OUR AUDIENCE MEMBERS AND TO OUR BOARD.

BEFORE HE AND BEFORE HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT ALEX IS THE AUTHOR OF ALL THESE SLIDES AND IT TAKES QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THESE. OH, THIS LOOKS TOTALLY EASY.

ALEX, THANK YOU.

HE'S ALSO THE ONE THAT SITS DOWN WITH EACH ONE OF THE CAMPUSES AND THE DEPARTMENTS AND GOES OVER ALL OF THESE SO THAT HE CAN COME UP WITH SOME OF THOSE ASSUMPTIONS.

SO I'M GOING TO LET HIM ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE I WANT HIM TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND TELL US HIS TITLE, TOO.

OH, I'M SORRY. ALEX IS OUR BUDGET DIRECTOR AND SO HE AND I WORK REAL CLOSE AND HE TALKED FOR HIMSELF.

RANDY GOSH.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO, ALEX SALAZAR, THE BUDGET DIRECTOR.

HEY, ALEX SALAZAR.

TELL ME YOUR TITLE AGAIN.

BUDGET DIRECTOR.

BUDGET DIRECTOR.

THAT FEELS VERY OFFICIAL.

OKAY, THAT'S TRUE.

STOP IT. SO SPECIFICALLY FOR IMPACT, EVERYTHING'S ENROLLMENT BASED, BUT FOR IMPACT, WE DO HAVE TO THROW AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO FOR FUENTES AND THEY'RE FINE ARTS ALLOCATION.

IT'S JUST A FLAT AMOUNT AND WE KIND OF GO BASED OFF OF CAMPUS NEEDS THERE.

BUT I THINK THIS YEAR IMPACT RECEIVED AN EXTRA 40,000 ON TOP OF THEIR ENROLLMENT BASED ALLOCATION.

OKAY. FANTASTIC.

WELL, IF YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, LET US KNOW.

I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO FIND OUT HOW THAT'S CALCULATED.

OKAY, PERFECT. AND THEN LIVE OAK KIND OF SIMILAR.

YES. OKAY.

SAME THING. THEY HAVE AN ENROLLMENT BASED BASE AND ANYTHING OVER AND ABOVE THAT IS KIND OF BASED ON NEED PER THE CAMPUS.

OKAY, PERFECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MRS. OROSCO? ALEX, THESE SLIDES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OUR FAVORITE AND FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING IT, MR. RAU DIDN'T TELL US THAT.

WE ALWAYS TOLD MR. RAU THESE SLIDES ARE THE BEST AND MR. KELLER, WHO IS LISTENING, WOULD SAY THE SAME THING.

SHE THOUGHT THESE WERE THE BEST PART OF THE BUDGET PRESENTATION.

SO FABULOUS JOB, ALEX.

WELL, I KIND OF STARTED THEM, AND THEN ALEX TOOK OVER.

IT'S TRUE. I CAN'T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT.

YEAH. AWESOME.

I ESPECIALLY LOVE THAT THESE NUMBERS MATCH THESE NUMBERS.

SO GOOD. ALL RIGHT, WE ARE ON.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO FINE ARTS BUDGET.

MR. RAU OR MR. SALAZAR, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A QUICK SUMMARY OR DO YOU WANT TO JUST OPEN IT UP TO THE TEAM FOR QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FROM THE TEAM ON THE FINE ARTS BUDGET, 1.7 MILLION THERE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT.

AND AS RANDY SAID, WE'VE GOT SOME MAJOR, MAJOR PIECES OF THE BUDGET ARE ON THE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT AND THE BOTTOM LEFT.

YOU CAN SEE SOME ADDITIONAL DETAIL, RIGHT.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE ASSUMPTIONS.

AND EACH ONE OF THESE ASSUMPTIONS IS WHEN ALEX SITS DOWN WITH EACH ONE OF THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT HEADS, THEY THEY KIND OF GIVE HIM, YOU KNOW, THEIR HIGH POINTS.

YOU KNOW, KIND OF REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN THESE ASSUMPTIONS ARE THE ARE KIND OF THE BIG MOVERS OF THE DOLLARS.

I MEAN, YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BUY FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND THAT'S GOING TO PRETTY MUCH STAY THE SAME, MAYBE SOME PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

BUT IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE HERE, THERE'S AN INCREASE IN STUDENT PARTICIPATION, WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO SOME OF THESE CONFERENCES OR UIL COMPETITIONS WHEN TALKING WITH WITH OUR FINE ARTS DIRECTOR.

THOSE WERE THE THE ITEMS THAT SHE KIND OF POINTED OUT.

MRS. OROSCO. THANK YOU.

MISS PETREA, I KNOW I ASKED AND SUBMITTED THIS QUESTION.

WE HAVE 16,134 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN FINE ARTS AND 5200 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS WITH A DIFFERENCE OF ALMOST $1,000,000 BUDGETED FOR EACH PROGRAM.

NOW, I READ THAT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE INSTRUMENTS THAT WERE CAME OUT OF BOND FUNDS.

RIGHT. AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF ELEMENTARY BUDGET MONEY FOR IT OR SOMETHING.

[01:30:05]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IS THERE IS A FINE ARTS ALLOCATION AT FUENTES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND YEAH AND FOR THE MOST PART, THESE ITEMS HERE, THE WAY PATTY CAME UP WITH HER BUDGET, OUR FINE ARTS DIRECTOR, SHE DOES HAVE A PER PUPIL ALLOCATION THAT SHE USES TO COME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS.

I HONESTLY WOULD REALLY HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH WITH OUR ATHLETICS DIRECTOR AND PATTY AT THE SAME TIME AND JUST KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE. THESE ARE NUMBERS, MS. OROSCO, THAT THEY PRESENTED THAT THAT THEY FEEL WOULD WOULD GET THEM WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE.

I CAN SAY THAT ONE OF THE ITEMS IN ATHLETICS IS SOME BIG TICKET ITEMS OR STUDENT INSURANCE IS IN ATHLETICS, AND THAT'S ABOUT $75-$80,000.

AND WE JUST MOVED OVER THE GROUNDS.

ATHLETIC GROUNDS FOR ATHLETIC FACILITIES OVER TO ATHLETICS.

THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON THAT YOU SAW THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET GO DOWN.

SO I CAN WE CAN DELVE DEEPER INTO IT, BUT IT WOULD REALLY NECESSITATE ME SITTING DOWN WITH THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS AND JUST KIND OF GETTING A SENSE FOR HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THEIR NUMBERS.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE I SEE A LOT IN PROFESSIONAL AND CONTRACTED SERVICES, RIGHT, FOR ATHLETICS.

JUST TO DIVE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER BECAUSE I KNOW WE GET THIS QUESTION A LOT.

YOU KNOW, DO WE PREFER ATHLETICS OVER FINE ARTS? WELL, YOU YOU BUDGET.

THE BUDGET LOOKS LIKE IT OR YOU VALUE THIS MORE THAT WE GET THAT QUESTION AS BOARD MEMBERS.

SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CONSISTENT IN OUR MESSAGE AND THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND IF THERE IS SUCH A HUGE DISCREPANCY KNOWING WHY AND MAYBE NEEDING TO TWEAK THAT, MAYBE WE NEED TO GO REVISIT THAT AND MAYBE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

RIGHT. BUT TALKING ABOUT IT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CORRECT NUMBERS AND I KNOW YOU YOU ALL KNOW THE NUMBERS THAT THEY GAVE YOU AND SO ON, BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS SOME EQUITABLY EQUITABLE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.

YEAH. AND YOU DID BRING UP A GOOD POINT.

THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF CONTRACTED SERVICES IN THE ATHLETICS BUDGET AND A LOT OF THAT, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY 80% OF IT DEALS WITH PAYING OFFICIALS, PAYING THE AMBULANCE SERVICES FOR THE THE FOOTBALL GAMES, THE SECURITY FOR SOME OF THOSE GAMES.

THOSE TRAINERS FROM TEXAS STATE, THANK YOU.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN THE ATHLETICS BUDGET PER SE THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY FILTER DOWN TO THE KIDS.

THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN THERE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE JUST IN ORDER TO RUN ONE OF THE EVENTS.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I'D LIKE TO I MEAN, I COULD KIND OF I CAN GO THROUGH THIS AND KIND OF GET MAYBE A MORE APPLES AND APPLES TYPE COMPARISON, BUT IT WOULD KIND OF NECESSITATE MAYBE SITTING DOWN WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS AND WITH THEIR ASSISTANTS AND KIND OF PULL OUT SOME OF THOSE ITEMS. SURE. AND LOOKING AT THAT, BECAUSE THEN WE ALSO SEE REVENUE COMING IN RIGHT TO OUR ATHLETICS PROGRAM.

SO WHAT DOES THAT OFFSET, YOU KNOW, TO HAVING SO HAVING A BETTER, CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? AND PROBABLY DR. WRIGHT IS AN EXPERT AND HE CAN LET ME KNOW AT ONE POINT IN CLARIFICATION TO THE THE THE SPECIALS ROTATION AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS INCLUDE ART AND MUSIC, BUT WE ALSO INCLUDE P.E., WHICH IS A PRECURSOR TO ATHLETICS.

AND EVERY KID GOES THROUGH P.E.

SO IF YOU AGGREGATED THOSE NUMBERS AND YOU PUT THOSE WITH ATHLETICS, THEN THAT COST PER STUDENT WOULD WOULD CHANGE AS WELL, BECAUSE THOSE ARE BEING FUNDED OUT OF THE ELEMENTARY CAMPUS BUDGET.

BUT IT JUST INFLATES THAT NUMBER.

IT MAKES IT LOOK REALLY HIGH.

AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE, TOO, IS, IS ANY TIME YOU STAND UP A FOOTBALL PROGRAM, IT TAKES ABOUT $500 PER ATHLETE IN ORDER TO OUTFIT THEM FROM HELMET TO SHOULDER PADS TO UNIFORMS.

[01:35:01]

AND AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE BUY BAND UNIFORMS, WE DO THAT IN A ROTATIONAL CYCLE THAT THAT COMES FROM BOND.

AND WE HAVE LIKE A ROTATIONAL CYCLE IN OUR GENERAL BUDGET FOR ATHLETICS.

AND, AND THEN THE INSTRUMENTS, THE BIG INSTRUMENT TICKET ITEMS, Y'ALL KNOW, Y'ALL PURCHASE THOSE THROUGH BONDS AS WELL.

AND SO WHEN YOU OFFSET THAT, IT WOULD BE PRETTY, PRETTY EQUITABLE.

BUT IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO CHANGE PROBABLY MOVING FORWARD, TOO, BECAUSE PRETTY SOON WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE I THINK THIS THIS NEXT YEAR IS OUR LAST YEAR THAT WE GET TO USE STUDENT TRAINERS FROM TEXAS STATE BECAUSE NOW THE STATE IS REQUIRING THAT WE HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE.

SO I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE TOO, BECAUSE WHEN YOU BROUGHT THAT UP EARLIER, I WAS THINKING, YEAH, I THINK WE ONLY GET TO DO THAT FOR ONE MORE YEAR.

SO JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON YOUR RADAR TOO.

BUT, BUT YEAH, I THINK THE, THE AGGREGATING THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN HERE WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE.

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST COMPARE SECONDARY TO SECONDARY AND THEN WE COULD GET A BETTER PICTURE OF WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE.

AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S FUNDED OUT OF BOND VERSUS GENERAL.

AWESOME. THAT WOULD HELP A LOT BECAUSE MUSIC AND ARTS WAS ADDED TO THE NUMBERS THEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE OTHER SIDE TOO.

RIGHT. SO YEAH, IF YOU CAN PULL THAT OUT, THEN WE WOULD SEE MAYBE A BETTER PICTURE AND IT WOULDN'T LOOK SO.

I MEAN, HUGE DISCREPANCY RIGHT NOW IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

SO THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP, DR.

WRIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO US.

MR. MCMANUS, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DO. THANK YOU. I THINK WHAT WOULD HELP ME? I SEE, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR IT'S DIFFERENT, BUT THERE'S TYPICALLY FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT ONE OFFS.

YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR LIKE THIS YEAR, I'M LOOKING AT ATHLETICS.

THERE'S STUFF FOR BLOCKING SLEDS AND POLE VAULT PITS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

AND I THINK THAT'S JUST PART OF THE COST OF MAINTAINING EITHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION OF THIS.

RIGHT. I THINK IT WOULD HELP FOR ME TO SEE WHAT'S THE COST PER STUDENT FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE STUDENT IN THESE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

I UNDERSTAND ATHLETICS. THAT MAY BE A LITTLE HARD.

I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT QUITE SURE IT'S THE JUST TAKING THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT AND DIVIDING IT BY THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME ODD THINGS WE DO EVERY YEAR.

BUT WHAT'S THE REAL COST TO DO THAT? WHAT I, I DO WANT TO ECHO, THOUGH, IS THIS IDEA THAT I AT LEAST PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO BE A DISTRICT THAT'S PERCEIVED AS BEING AN ATHLETICS FOCUSED DISTRICT.

THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE.

WE'RE A DISTRICT THAT'S FOCUSED ON THE WHOLE STUDENT AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE ABOUT, WHETHER THEY'RE IN BAND, ART, CHOIR, DRAMA, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON OR SPORTS, YOU KNOW. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I BELIEVE AS TRUSTEE OROSCO IS TALKING ABOUT, THE WHAT WE'RE MESSAGING IS THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE FUNDED EQUITABLY AND THAT EVERY STUDENT IS VALUED REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DO.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AROUND HERE.

SO ANYWAY, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME IF WE COULD.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO EVEN TAKE A GUESS AT WHAT THAT IS ANY TIME SOON.

JUST KIND OF GOING FORWARD AS WE TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? OKAY. SURE, SURE.

KEN, THANKS SO MUCH, MR. VELA. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE ARE ANTICIPATING ADDITIONAL UIL COMPETITIONS FOR OUR FINE ARTS PROGRAMS BECAUSE THEY'VE THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB THIS PAST THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

SO IN THE FINE ARTS BUDGET, ARE WE INCLUDING THE ADDITIONAL VEHICLE AND THE MAINTENANCE THAT WE PURCHASED FOR THOSE AND THEN IN THE PAYROLL, DOES THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE RECENTLY APPROVED COLOR GUARD POSITIONS THAT WE APPROVED FOR ALL THREE HIGH SCHOOLS? DOES THAT ALSO IN THE PAY ALREADY? IT WOULDN'T BE IN THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE BECAUSE THIS IS BASICALLY NON-PAYROLL OR CAMPUS OR DEPARTMENT BASE.

BUT WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING TO IS IN THE IN THE PAYROLL NUMBER AS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT DR.

MEDINA WENT OVER IN HIS SLIDES.

OKAY. AND THEN I KNOW WE'LL GET TO TRANSPORTATION IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT I MEAN, ALSO JUST THE TRANSPORTATION AND FUEL COSTS FOR FINE ARTS.

I WOULD HAVE THE SAME QUESTION FOR ATHLETICS.

I MEAN, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THOSE COSTS.

I MEAN, WE KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE PAYING AT THE PUMPS RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT. AND SO SINCE YOU'RE MENTIONING IT, I WANT TO ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.

AND SO TRANSPORTATION FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE THAT WHAT I CHARGE THE TRANSPORTATION CAN ONLY BE TAKING A STUDENT FROM HOME TO SCHOOL AND SCHOOL TO HOME.

WE ALL KNOW, THOUGH, THAT WE DO FIELD TRIPS AND UIL EVENTS.

AND SO A LOT OF TIMES THOSE ARE ARE SUPPLIED BY OUR YELLOW DOGS, OUR SCHOOL BUSSES, AND WE MAY PROVIDE A DRIVER.

AND SO THOSE COSTS ARE RECLASSIFIED BACK TO THE INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS OR THE SCHOOL REQUESTING THAT FIELD TRIP. SO WE MAY INCUR THE COST AND TRANSPORTATION, BUT I CAN'T REPORT IT THERE UNDER GUIDELINES FROM TEA.

AND SO WE HAVE AN ACCOUNT THAT'S CALLED RECLASSIFIED TRANSPORTATION EXPENSE WHERE IT GETS CHARGED BACK TO THE CAMPUS AND THEY'VE

[01:40:07]

OKAY. AND THEN JUST REMIND ME I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE MY NOTES ON ME, BUT THE ORCHESTRA, I KNOW WE HAVE A BIG EXPENSES.

IS THAT COMING FROM.

THAT'S BOND.

THE INSTRUMENTS. YEAH.

OKAY. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

YES. AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT. THOSE ARE, THAT'S A HUGE EXPENSE IN THE FINE ARTS THAT COMES OUT OF BOND FUNDS.

MR. SEVERANCE. OKAY.

NEW HERE. SO THESE ARE NON PAYROLL GRAPHS, BUT THEY HAVE PAYROLL COSTS IN THERE.

IS THAT LIKE THE COST TO DO PAYROLL WITHIN EACH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS? NO. SO WE HAVE A PAYROLL BUDGET WHICH CONSISTS OF, LET'S SAY, SUBSTITUTES.

THERE ARE SOME CAMPUSES AND DEPARTMENTS THAT WILL PAY FOR SUBSTITUTES OR EXTRA WORK THAT THEY THEY WANT TO CONTROL.

SO THEY WILL DO THEY'LL PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A PAYROLL IN THEIR BUDGET, BUT THAT'S AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

SO IF IN FINE ARTS, IF THERE WAS A IF.

OKAY. GOOD.

YEAH, A GOOD EXAMPLE. SO IF IF THEY'RE REHEARSING FOR A THEATER PROGRAM, AS MS. SEDILLO IS POINTING OUT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PATTY, OUR FINE ARTS DIRECTOR, COULD CONTROL AND SAY, HEY, LOOK, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING YOU IN AND PAY YOU ACCORDING TO THE COMP PLAN UNDER THOSE SUPPLEMENTAL RATES.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY BUDGETED FOR, FOR THEIR CAMPUS.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY PART OF THE ANNUALIZED PAYROLL BASE PAY, ANNUALIZED STIPENDS, SUBS THAT THE DISTRICT PAYS WHEN SOMEBODY IS OUT ILL THOSE TYPE OF ITEMS. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN PART TWO OF THAT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS.

WE'VE GOT THE LAST MINUTE.

WE HAD A HR POSITION.

WE HAD SOME SOME IT POSITIONS, SOME MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS POSITIONS THAT WE PUSHED OFF, NOT FOR EARLY RELEASE.

WE BROKE THEM OUT. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALLOCATING THOSE WHEN WE COME BACK AND ADD THOSE TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHERE ON THESE BUDGETS OR THOSE COMING OUT OF SO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, NOT TO JUMP AHEAD, BUT IF MAINTENANCE SAYS A 9% DECREASE, IT MIGHT NOT BE REAL.

BUT WE NEED MAINTENANCE.

YOU'RE ASKING FOR MAINTENANCE PEOPLE.

NONE OF THESE SLIDES ARE PAYROLL.

SO THE MAINTENANCE SLIDE HERE IS FOR MAINTENANCE, SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, TRAINING, TRAVEL.

SO THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE NUMBERS.

THAT'S A SEPARATE A WHOLE SEPARATE DISCUSSION.

THAT'S ALL PART OF THE PAYROLL BUDGET.

AND THEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SEPARATE PAYROLL BUDGETS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT, LIKE PAYROLL BUDGET FOR IT, GONE UP OR GONE DOWN? SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND IF WE'RE ALLOCATING NEW POSITIONS WITHIN THOSE DEPARTMENTS, IF THEY FIT IN WITHIN THE PAYROLL.

SO YOU MAY HAVE IT PEOPLE YOU MAY HAVE BUSINESS PEOPLE, YOU MAY HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PEOPLE ALL WITHIN THE SAME PAY BANDS OR IN SIMILAR BANDS.

SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT YOU CAN TAKE ONE GROUP AND SAY THIS GROUP IS GOING UP OR THIS GROUP ISN'T.

YOU KNOW, AS AN EXAMPLE, I'LL JUST ALEX, OUR PURCHASING DIRECTOR AND OUR NEW ACCOUNTING DIRECTOR ARE ALL IN THE SAME PAY BAND, BUT THEY ALL DEAL IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

SURE. BUT SO I GUESS I'M NOT TRYING TO SOUND OBTUSE BUT LIKE SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN WE'RE BROUGHT POSITIONS TO REQUEST FOR DEPARTMENTS. ARE THESE INCREMENTAL TO WHAT'S ALREADY THERE OR ARE THESE THEY JUST WEREN'T FILLED? AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, JUST SAY WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

LIKE IF WE'RE ASKING FOR MAINTENANCE, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT DOES THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET SHOW THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING MORE MONEY TO DO THAT OUTSIDE OF I MEAN, IN THE PAYROLL SIDE OF THE BUDGET? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHAT I'M ASKING? YEAH. BUT THEN HOW DO I KNOW IF MAINTENANCE IS GETTING IT IS GETTING AN INCREASED BUDGET FOR ADDITIONAL PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE NON-PAYROLL COSTS BUDGET? LIKE, AM I ASKING THAT? WELL, I MEAN, I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

LIKE, SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR A PLUMBER AND AN HVAC PERSON UNDER MAINTENANCE OPERATION THAT WE HAVE NOT YET RELEASED.

IT FELL OFF THAT AGENDA ITEM.

SO I THINK TELL ME IF I'M PARAPHRASING.

SO UNDER THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS BUDGET THAT WE HAVE HERE, WHICH IS ON PAGE 22, YOU'VE GOT PAYROLL COSTS, 4%.

IS THAT ALREADY LOOPED IN FOR MAX'S PAYROLL BUDGET OR DO PLUMBERS AND HVAC PEOPLE NOT FALL HERE? NO IF THERE IS NO WHAT IN THIS CASE, IF THERE'S PAYROLL BUILT INTO THIS, THIS WOULD BE FOR THEM TO HAVE OVER TIME.

[01:45:07]

OKAY. SO DO WE HAVE ONE OF THESE HANDY DANDY CHARTS FOR JUST OUR PAYROLL? THAT SAID, LIKE TEACHERS AND BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS AND HR AND MAINTENANCE AND BUT THAT'S WHAT.

YEAH. BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO KNOW, LIKE IF WE'RE INCREASING THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET FOR PEOPLE LIKE I MEAN WHAT IS, WHAT'S THE PAYROLL BUDGET INCREASE? SO WE KNOW THAT IF WE'RE ALLOCATING POSITIONS, THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING POSITIONS WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE APPROVING.

I KNOW THAT MR. RAU HAS A VERY COMPLICATED PAYROLL CHART BECAUSE HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

I. I COULD CREATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD MIMIC THIS JUST FOR PAYROLL, BUT THE WAY THE BUDGET PRESENTED, AT LEAST NOW. AND WE CAN CHANGE THAT GOING FORWARD.

WE'VE ALWAYS PRESENTED THE BUDGET IN THREE CATEGORIES REVENUE, PAYROLL, NON PAYROLL.

SO ALL THE PROPOSED ITEMS THAT DR.

MEDINA TALKED ABOUT, THOSE ARE ALL PART OF THE PAYROLL BUDGET, WHICH GOING BACK ON PAGE 16, IS CURRENTLY PROPOSED AT $189 MILLION.

SO EVERYTHING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, NEW POSITIONS, I.T., ALL OF THAT IS CALCULATED INTO THAT AMOUNT.

SO AS LONG AS WHATEVER THE POSITIONS YOU GUYS ARE ASKING US TO APPROVE ON DOESN'T EXCEED $13 MILLION, THEN WE'RE GOOD.

IT DOESN'T MATTER BY THE DEPARTMENT LIKE I KNOW FROM MY BUSINESS.

LIKE WHEN WE I WOULD DO BUDGETS FOR THE NEXT YEAR, LIKE, YOU KNOW, HEY, WHAT'S YOUR WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO NEED NEXT YEAR? WELL, I'M GOING TO NEED A NEW BOX TRUCK.

I'M GOING TO NEED A NEW, YOU KNOW, SOME NEW TO MOVE FURNITURE, DOLLIES.

AND SO WE CAN ADD THAT IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WELL, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IF WE'RE GOING TO GROW OUR BUSINESS BY 14% NEXT YEAR, HOW MANY PEOPLE IN OPERATIONS DO YOU NEED TO SUPPORT THAT FROM A DELIVERY WAREHOUSING STANDPOINT? AND SO LIKE IT'S SPECIFIC ON WHAT INCOME WE'RE GETTING FROM DELIVERY INCOME OR WHATEVER.

SO I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE WHAT'S THE DEPARTMENT BUDGET PAYROLL NUMBER FROM THE YEAR BEFORE THAT YEAR GOING FORWARD? JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE HOPEFULLY I'LL MAKE SENSE WHAT I'M ASKING.

LIKE IT'S NOT I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ASKING FOR A PAYROLL BUDGET BREAKDOWN BASED ON DEPARTMENT SLASH CLASSIFICATIONS, RIGHT? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT.

YEAH. YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. AND OK, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE ARE UP TO FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

OH, YEAH. SORRY, MR. MCMANUS.

THAT'S OKAY. JUST, I'VE HEARD MAYBE TWO DIFFERENT ANSWERS ABOUT THE PAYROLL PIECE ON HERE, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU SAID THAT IT MIGHT BE FOR AN EXAMPLE YOU GAVE WAS FINE ARTS TO BE ABLE TO MAYBE HIRE SOMEBODY TO HELP WITH SOMETHING AND THAT SOMETHING DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AT THIS POINT.

BUT THEN FOR MAINTENANCE, YOU SAID IT WAS ALL OVER TIME.

SO WHEN I LOOK THROUGH THESE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SORT OF MAKE SENSE OF WHAT THAT'S FOR? I MEAN, I LOOK AT ATHLETICS, 7% OF THE TOTALS.

I MEAN, JUST APPROACHING $200,000.

WHAT WHAT WOULD THAT BE FOR? I MEAN, WE'RE NOT PAYING OFFICIALS OUT OF THAT, ARE WE? IT WOULD BE LIKE SUMMER CAMPS, COACHES COMING IN THE SUMMER TO DO LIKE THE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING CAMPS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

COULD BE SUPPLEMENTAL PAY, COULD BE GAME WORKERS.

YEAH. OKAY.

SO MY FOLLOW UP TO THAT IS HOW WHAT'S THE MECHANISM THAT WE'RE USING TO PAY? IT'S ALL RUNNING THROUGH CENTRAL OFFICE TO DO THIS, RIGHT.

THEY'RE NOT WRITING CHECKS OUT OF THE CAMPUS CHECKBOOK.

NO. ARE THEY? NO.

CENTRAL OFFICE WRITES ALL PAYROLL CHECKS ALL [INAUDIBLE] SO SOMEBODY IS VERIFYING THAT THIS IS ALL LEGITIMATE, ABOVE BOARD EXPENSES.

AND AS AN EXAMPLE, WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE THAT WORKS A GATE, FOOTBALL GAME.

THEY TAKE TICKETS, THEY TURN IN A SUPPLEMENTAL PAY SHEET, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SIGNS OFF ON THE PAY SHEET, COMES TO MY PAYROLL DEPARTMENT, WE VERIFY IT, VERIFY THE ACCOUNT, PAY IT. YEAH. BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME THAT'S AN EXISTING EMPLOYEE IS DOING ANOTHER JOB AND THEY'RE JUST THAT NIGHT THEY'RE OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S SOME OF WHAT GOES IN THERE.

THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF.

ANOTHER IS YOU HAVE DURING THE SUMMERTIME WHEN THE COACHES ARE OFF HOURS, THEY'LL COME AND THEY'LL DO THEIR STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING CAMP.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE SOME OF THAT MONEY IS SET ASIDE, AND THAT'S FOR ATHLETICS.

AT A CAMPUS, FOR EXAMPLE, IT MAY BE TO PAY FOR SUBS, OR IT MAY BE TO PAY FOR SOME AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING THAT THE CAMPUS WANTS TO CONTROL.

I KNOW THAT IN MS. SEDILLO'S BUDGET AND CNI, THEY HAVE SOME PAYROLL COSTS, BUT IT'S FOR SUB COSTS.

THEY WANT TO SEND SOMEBODY TO A TRAINING.

[01:50:02]

THE THE DISTRICT'S SUB BUDGET ONLY PAYS FOR FOLKS THAT ARE ARE SICK IF YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS AND YOU HAVE TO GET A SUB, WE PAY FOR THAT.

BUT IF THERE IS A STAFF DEVELOPMENT PART OF THE EQUATION, THEN THE CAMPUS THEY BUDGET SUBS FOR THAT.

SO I FEEL LIKE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THIS BOARD HAS ASKED OVER THE YEARS IS WHAT'S THE TOTAL COST OF PAYROLL, INCLUDING EVEN CONTRACT LABOR? RIGHT. WE'VE HAD THAT. WHAT'S THE REAL COST? I FEEL LIKE THIS IS PROBABLY BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE CONVERSATION.

OF WHAT THAT THROUGH NO ONE'S YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT BEEN ON PURPOSE.

WE HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT IT TO THIS DETAIL, BUT I THINK THAT THE 189 IS NOT OUR TOTAL PAYROLL COSTS.

RIGHT. THERE'S OTHER THINGS.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT IN THAT LINE ITEM, WE'RE SPENDING A SIGNIFICANT SUM MORE THAN THAT FOR PAYROLL TYPE THINGS.

I THINK IF SOMEONE COULD TAKE THE TIME TO JUST ADD ALL THAT UP AND SAY THIS IS OUR TOTAL COST OF PEOPLE TO DO THINGS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THAT TOTAL NUMBER IS.

AND WILL I DO THAT AS PART OF THE FINAL BUDGET BOOK WITH SOME OF THE GRAPHS AND STUFF? AND I CAN GO OVER THAT IN MORE DETAIL WHEN WE GET TO THAT PART, BECAUSE I DO TAKE EVERYTHING.

PAYROLL IS AS A SPECIFIC OBJECT CODE OR SPECIFIC ACCOUNT THAT AND SO I PULL IT ALL TOGETHER THAT WAY I WILL SAY TO, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT DISTRICTS BUDGET DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND AT MY OLD DISTRICT I NEVER I DIDN'T I DIDN'T LET PAYROLL OUT THE DOOR, SO TO SPEAK, IF MY SUB BUDGET INCLUDED EVERYTHING.

BUT I SAT DOWN WITH ALL THE INDIVIDUALS AND I BUDGETED FOR IT.

HERE, THIS DISTRICT HAS BUDGETED THIS WAY FOR FOR A WHILE.

SO THESE CAMPUSES ARE USED TO HAVING SOME COMPONENT OF PAYROLL AT THEIR DISCRETION, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S TO PAY FOR TUTORS OR WHETHER IT'S TO PAY FOR SUBS.

AND SO IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN AND JUST.

YOU KNOW, CUT EVERYBODY OFF.

SO I KIND OF KEPT THAT PRACTICE GOING.

BUT I MEAN, IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.

I WOULD BE OPEN TO TO HAVING THAT.

IT WORRIES ME A LITTLE BIT, SEEING ALL OF THESE DOLLARS JUST SORT OF FLOATING ABOUT IN THESE INDIVIDUAL BUDGETS.

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT THEM LOSING, I WOULD GUESS, MAYBE THE CONTROL, IF YOU WILL, OF HAVING SOME FREEDOM TO DO SOME THINGS.

I DO REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT I'M AFRAID IF WE WENT THROUGH AND ADDED ALL THESE PERCENTAGES UP, WE'VE GOT A DECENT CHUNK OF MONEY FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE.

SO AGAIN, IF IT'S IN THE FINAL BUDGET BOOK AND YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT, I'M GOOD.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT EVERY SINGLE THING IS ABOUT, BUT JUST I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TALK INTELLIGENTLY ABOUT IT WHEN SOMEONE ASKS.

AND SO I APPRECIATE YOU CLEARING THAT UP.

OKAY. THANKS, MR. MCMANUS. GOOD QUESTIONS.

DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ STATE. A QUESTION? YES, THANK YOU.

JUST ALONG THE LINES OF TRUSTEE SEVERANCE AND THE POSITIONS THAT THE HUMAN RESOURCE MAINTENANCE AND TECHNOLOGY POSITIONS AND OUR TOTAL REPORT 438,000.

I KNOW IT'S ON THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS NOW IS THAT TOTAL AMOUNT INCLUDED IN THE PAYROLL PROPOSED.

22-23 BUDGET ON HERE? YES, IT'S PART OF THAT 189.

[INAUDIBLE] SO ON AND SO FORTH.

YES. KIND OF WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS UNDERSTANDING THAT BECAUSE.

YES. SO ALL OF THESE I MEAN AS AN EXAMPLE, THE EASIEST ONE HERE IS THE 7% MIDPOINT PAY INCREASE OF $12 MILLION.

THAT'S IN THAT AMOUNT.

THAT BEING SAID, THOUGH, SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT THE BOARD HAS REQUESTED, YOU KNOW, SHOW ME THE COST OF THIS.

SHOW ME THE COST OF THAT.

IF DR. MEDINA COMES BACK AND SAYS, OH, WELL, THE $1,500 STIPEND STAYING IS GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL $200,000.

THAT IS NOT IN THAT ITEM.

AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO ADD IT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON, I GUESS, THESE TWO SLIDES ON ATHLETICS AND FINE ARTS? I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

OKAY. I'M JUST GOING TO BEAT THIS HORSE TO DEATH.

SO ON THE PAYROLL FOR FINE ARTS, THAT'S NOT PATTY MARINO'S SALARY IN THAT.

NO. GOT IT. OKAY.

AND I DO KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THE BAND DIRECTORS WILL BRING IN SPECIAL BAND DIRECTORS TO BE THEIR SUB BECAUSE THEY DON'T YOU KNOW, THEY WANT IT TO BE SOMEBODY WHO'S GOT BAND EXPERIENCE. AND SO I FEEL LIKE I'M PICKING UP WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING DOWN ON THAT.

ON THE ATHLETIC'S, TRUSTEE OROSCO BROUGHT UP REVENUE AND I KNOW THAT WE WE MAKE REVENUE FROM THE PAC, WE MAKE REVENUE. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE LOTS OF REVENUE FROM SHELTON STADIUM ONCE WE GET OUR NEWS SCOREBOARD.

[01:55:05]

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT.

I MADE MYSELF A NOTE, BUT NOW I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.

SO I WILL MOVE ON.

WE ARE ON TO CNI PROPOSED BUDGET TEAM.

THIS IS ON PAGE 20, 6.4 MILLION AND CHANGE.

QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE ? WELL, JUST BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS, WHAT ARE THE PAYROLL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CNI BUDGET? 13%. MR. DEO. EUROPE.

MORE THAN LIKELY SUMMER SCHOOL COSTS OR ANY KIND OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE OFFERING THAT WE NEED TO COVER.

SO WE WILL PAY FOR THE GUEST TEACHERS TO COME IN AND FILL FOR TEACHERS AS THEY COME IN FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S PRIMARILY WHAT WE USE OUR PAYROLL COSTS FOR IN OUR DEPARTMENTS.

ALL RIGHT, MS. OROSCO.

YES, CAN WE GET THE BREAKDOWN FOR THE PROFESSIONAL AND CONTRACTED SERVICES? BECAUSE THAT'S A LARGE AMOUNT, 24%.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY, GREAT.

THANKS SO MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS LINE? DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

WHAT ABOUT THE SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS? WHAT IS WHAT ARE WE PURCHASING WITH THAT 48% OF THE BUDGET? A LOT OF THAT.

WHEN I HAD VISITED WITH MS. SEDILLO ABOUT THE BUDGET A WHILE BACK, SOFTWARE LICENSES ARE CONSIDERED A SUPPLY AND MATERIAL.

SO A LOT OF THAT INCREASE IS GOING TO BE DUE TO SOME OF THE DISTRICT WIDE SOFTWARE THAT THAT CNI HAS.

SO I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A FEW EXAMPLES.

AGILE MIND THAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU IN MAY, MAP THE K THROUGH EIGHT MATH SCREENER SCHOOL LINKS TO HELP WITH THE CCR.

SO THOSE WERE ALL ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE AS WELL AS PSYCHOLOGY.

IN THE PAST. WE DID HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LMS AND NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

SO THAT'S WHAT CREATED THE INCREASE IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

OKAY, SO WE DON'T BUY WORKBOOKS OR ANYTHING.

NOTHING COMES FROM CNI AS FAR AS THE BUDGET OR IS THAT JUST TOTALLY CAMPUS? SO THE TEXTBOOKS AND HOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE THE CONSUMABLES, THOSE WOULD BE COMING OUT OF OUR BUDGET.

WE DO HAVE SOME EMA FUNDS.

THE ONLY THING ABOUT IAMA THIS YEAR IS THAT WE WERE THE AMOUNT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE DECREASED BY 63%.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT OUR BUDGET INCREASED TO HELP WITH THAT OFFSET IN THAT DECREASE OF THE IAMA FUNDS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? ALL RIGHT. I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE I ALWAYS HATE IT WHEN THERE'S LIKE 50% OF ANYTHING.

WOULD IT BE FEASIBLE? I'M GOING TO LOOK AT MR. SALAZAR IF ON SOME OF THESE IF TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES COULD BE ONE OF THESE ITEMS. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD THAT WOULD BE, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT.

AND YOU SAY THAT WOULD BE REALLY HARD.

BUT TO YOUR POINT, A LOT OF THESE LICENSES SCHOOL OF GEE, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL BECAUSE I'M SURE EVERY ONE OF OUR DEPARTMENTS HAS SOME KIND OF TECHNOLOGY NEEDS AND RESOURCES AND I WE FULLY SUPPORT ALL OF THOSE, BUT IT MIGHT MAKE SOME OF THIS MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE SENSE BECAUSE IF 50% IS, QUOTE, SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, I MEAN, THAT JUST FEELS LIKE THE OTHER CATEGORY, THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL CATEGORY.

AND I KNOW IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT FALL UNDER SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, BUT IF TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES ARE FALLING UNDER SUPPLIES OF MATERIALS, IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE GOING FORWARD TO KIND OF PULL THOSE OUT AND DENOTE WHICH THINGS ARE TECHNOLOGY.

YEAH. AND SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, RANGES ANYWHERE FROM SUBSCRIPTIONS LIKE MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS.

CANCEL ALL THOSE. THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE FROM THE STORY ALL THE WAY.

I'LL GIVE YOU ALL OF MY SOFTWARE LICENSES, CONSUMABLES, PAPERS, PINS, AUDIO, AND THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.

CONSUMABLES PAPERS MAKE SENSE UNDER SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS.

BUT WHEN I THINK OF TECHNOLOGY LICENSES, I DON'T THINK OF SUPPLIES.

OF MATERIALS. SO WE WE CAN BREAK IT DOWN.

WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET IT BROKEN DOWN? THIS YEAR FOR THAT.

I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE THIS IS THIS I'M NOT SAYING MAYBE EVEN FOR THIS YEAR, BUT I DO THINK THIS TEAM WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF THAT COULD BE

[02:00:06]

THAT'S EVEN SOMETHING.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU REPORT OR YOU SET UP AN ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, YOU KIND OF SET YOUR ACCOUNTS UP BASED ON HOW YOU WANT TO PULL INFORMATION OUT OF IT.

IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD IS REALLY INTERESTED IN, IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT I COULD PUT IN MY BOARD FINANCIALS, AND I CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH IS BEING SPENT ON SOFTWARE EACH MONTH. BUT I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR TEAM FEELS LIKE, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

OKAY. THAT'S EASY ENOUGH TO DO FOR THAT.

OKAY. FOR NEXT TIME.

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON CNI? ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GOING I DO WANT TO SAY IT'S NICE THAT RANDY SAYS ALEC'S JOB IS EASY.

I HEARD HIM SAY THAT VERY CLEARLY.

OH, WELL, THAT ONE WILL.

IT'S GOING TO BE ME.

THAT WOULD BE WELL ON THE FINANCIALS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. TRANSPORTATION.

AND I'M ALREADY LOOKING AT SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, 75%.

WHAT CAN WE PULL OUT OF THAT SO THAT IT'S NOT SO I MEAN.

WELL, SO WHAT COULD THAT EVEN BE? SO EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, LOOKING DOWN HERE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT GRAPH, FUEL, VEHICLE PARTS AND SUPPLIES, THOSE ARE CONSIDERED A SUPPLY AND MATERIAL VEHICLE FUEL UNDER TEA IS 6311.

SO IT'S OKAY SO THAT'S A WAY WE'RE WE'RE FOR THE MOST PART 98% OF THE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A MANDATED CHART OF ACCOUNTS FROM TEA.

SO UTILITIES ISN'T LIKE UNDER THAT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE.

OKAY. WELL, THE BIGGEST AMOUNT HERE IS YOU CAN SEE ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET ON THE FAR RIGHT, A MILLION FOR IS IN FUEL.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR BREAKING THAT OUT.

405,000 IS IN VEHICLE PARTS AND SUPPLIES AND THAT COULD RANGE ANYWHERE FROM BOND TO HEADLIGHT BUYING OIL, OIL ADDITIVES, CLEANERS, DETERGENTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.

OKAY, TEAM, ANY QUESTIONS ON TRANSPORTATION? MR.. MR. MCMANUS AND MR. SEVERANCE. I KNOW IT WAS ANSWERED IN THE QUESTIONS I SUBMITTED, BUT I WANT TO TALK THROUGH BUYING FOR BUSSES AND KIND OF I MEAN, TO ME, THAT'S BOND MONEY AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW IT GOT ON HERE LIKE THIS.

AND I SAW WHERE THERE'S LIKE $50,000 LEFT IN A PREVIOUS BOND AND MAYBE BE ABLE TO OFFSET THAT.

BUT I MEAN, I'M NOT BEING CRITICAL.

WE SPENT A TON OF TIME TALKING ABOUT WHAT WENT INTO THAT BOND FROM THE FBO, SEE TO THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER.

HOW DID THIS GET MISSED? MAX. YEAH.

YES, SIR. I DON'T KNOW, OTHER THAN WE'VE HAD REAL GOOD SUCCESS WITH THOSE MICRO BUSSES AND YOU KNOW THAT THE GAP IN TIME AND THE 2022 BOND.

EXCUSE ME, THE 2021 BOND.

THAT WOULD BE MY MY MAIN GUESS IS THEY WERE KIND OF OFF THE RADAR BECAUSE WHAT'S THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT? I KNOW IT WAS 50,000 OF IT.

WHAT'S THE ACTUAL COST FOR THESE THINGS? 375 WAS THE TOTAL ASK IS FOR ALL FOUR OR 3.75, SIR.

AND WE CAN'T. I MEAN, IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO FIND SOME BOND SAVINGS ELSEWHERE? I KNOW WE WE CAN'T MOVE THINGS BETWEEN.

THAT'S OUR COMMITMENT TO THE TAXPAYER TO DO THAT.

BUT I MEAN, HAVE WE LIFTED UP EVERY COUCH CUSHION AND LOOKED FOR SOME MONEY TO PAY FOR THESE THINGS? YOU KNOW, PERHAPS AFTER WE GET THROUGH ALL GAPS BEING APPROVED AND THEN WE GET UNDERWAY A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT SOME.

YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF COUCH, COUCH CUSHIONS, NOT SOME MORE INFLATION WAITING AROUND THE CORNER.

MAYBE MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AN ITEM WE COULD PULL AND TAKE TO THE FOSSEY BECAUSE WE DID HAVE SUCCESS LAST TIME WITH THEM.

WE TOOK IN 2017.

WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE BUSSES AND THEY THEY THEY LIKED THEM AND WE ARE USING THEM A LOT, A LOT MORE.

OKAY. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. GREAT SUGGESTION, MR. MCMANUS, MR. SEVERANCE.

AND THEN MR. VELA.

OKAY. SO.

SO, MAX, WE JUST BONDED 55 BUSSES ON THE BOND THAT WE JUST PASSED.

RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANY WAY I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STAFFING AND USING THOSE BUSSES ALL THIS NEXT THIS NEXT YEAR OR MAYBE EVEN NEXT YEAR? IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU COULD TAKE THE IN THE 52, 53, 54 AND 55 BUSSES ON THE BACK END AND PULL THEM NOW TO SATISFY THIS NEED.

AND THEN WE CAN LOOK AT MORE BUSSES FOR THE NEXT BOND.

SO AT LEAST YOU HAVE TO PULL IT OUT OF YOUR BUDGET NOW.

I MEAN, WHEN WE'VE I MEAN, SO THESE ARE THE BUSSES THAT AREN'T THAT DON'T REQUIRE A LICENSE, RIGHT?

[02:05:04]

SO I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN DO THAT.

I MEAN, WE'VE JUST I WOULD BE I'D BE OPEN TO IF WE COULD DO THAT TO TO DO THAT.

SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO PURCHASE BUSSES, MAKE IT TO THAT BOX AND START IT THROUGH THERE, BECAUSE EVENTUALLY YOU ALL WOULD HAVE TO THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE.

OKAY. YEAH. MR. CLEAVER, I THINK YOU NEED TO LET THE FBI SEE THAT MR. SEVERANCE MADE A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE FDIC CONSIDER.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND SEE WHAT THEY THEY COME BACK WITH.

AND THEN MY MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.

THAT WAS GOOD. THAT WAS A GOOD QUESTION WAS FROM LIKE ON THE NEW PROPANE BUSSES, HOW MANY OF THOSE DO WE HAVE IN ACTION RIGHT NOW? WE HAVE TEN OF THEM.

AND HOW'S IS THERE ANY KIND OF MAINTENANCE THAT'S COME UP THROUGHOUT WITH THESE NEW BUSSES THAT YOU WOULD THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, THAT YOU'RE JUST THAT YOU HAD TO ADD FOR NEXT YEAR WITH MAINTENANCE, SPECIFICALLY ON PROPANE BUSSES? NO, SIR. NOTHING HAS COME COME FORWARD.

THEY'RE SO CLEAN BURNING.

THE ENGINES STAY A LOT CLEANER.

THE OIL STAYS CLEANER THERE.

NO DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID NEEDED.

AND SO NOTHING'S COME OUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, HIDING IN THE BUSHES.

AND SO NO NEED FOR ANYTHING.

I KNOW THE FUELING STATION WAS PART TWO OF THAT GRANT.

IS THAT IS THAT COMING THIS NEXT YEAR OR ARE WE STILL GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK IT ON THAT GRANT WORKING ON THAT GRANT OPPORTUNITY? AWESOME. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

GREAT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

AWESOME. MR. VELA.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE 2.1 MILLION MILES LOOKS LIKE WE DROVE.

GREAT. I MEAN, BIG NUMBER, HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO PREVIOUS YEARS? I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT WE HAD SOME REDUCED SCHOOL DAYS BECAUSE OF ICY WEATHER.

I CAN FIND OUT. I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY.

I CAN GET THAT ONE FOR YOU.

OKAY. AND THEN ALSO KNOWING THAT WE'RE FORECASTING THAT 66% INCREASE IN FUEL, I MEAN, IS THAT STILL HOLDING TRUE TO WHAT WE ANTICIPATE? BECAUSE I WENT TO THE FUEL PUMP YESTERDAY AND THAT'S UP ANOTHER $0.20.

I'M LIKE, WHOA, YET WE PAY A LITTLE LESS ON ON THAN YOU PAY AT THE PUMP.

SURE. BECAUSE WE BUY IN THE ENTIRE RACK PRICING.

SO WE'RE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER.

I BELIEVE IT WAS RIGHT AROUND 45% INCREASE.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO THAT.

AND JUST LIKE THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF WE'RE SCRUBBING THE ACCOUNTS TO PAY FOR FUEL, YOU KNOW, UP UNTIL SCHOOL ENDED AND THEN FOR THE WHITE FLEET THIS SUMMER AND FOR ANY FIELD TRIPS OVER THE SUMMER.

SO WE JUST SCRUB ACCOUNTS, WHATEVER'S LEFT IN OTHER ACCOUNTS, WE MOVE TOWARDS FUEL AT THE END OF THE YEAR WITH WHAT'S LEFT.

BUT WE'RE GETTING DOWN TO THE WIRE.

DO WE HAVE OUR HEADS FUEL? DO WE DO WE WE IN TERMS OF PURCHASING AND WE HAVE NOT DONE IT HERE, BUT THAT IS A PURCHASING TECHNIQUE YOU CAN USE.

THERE'S OUTFITS OUT THERE THAT'LL DO THAT.

OKAY. HAD WE BOUGHT LIKE, YOU KNOW, 18 MONTHS AGO, WE'D BE LOOKING REALLY GOOD.

OH, YEAH, YEAH, DEFINITELY. AND THEN I KNOW MR. RALPH MENTIONED, OF COURSE, THE INCREASED COST OF JUST OILS AND LUBRICANTS AND EVEN THE COST OF PARTS HAVE GONE UP TREMENDOUSLY.

AND, AND SO YEAH, SPECIFICALLY ON LIKE THE GAS AND OIL SUPPLIES, THE EXCUSE ME, THE OIL SUPPLIES THAT'S STAYING AT $100,000.

I'M SORRY, SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS THAT'S COVID LINE.

LET'S SEE HERE.

POLICE. YEAH.

100,000 FOR GAS AND OIL DISTRICT VEHICLES, WHICH IS REALLY THE OIL, THE EXHAUST FLUID AND THAT KIND OF THING.

HERE. MAKE SURE THERE'S NO OTHER ONES IN HERE.

OKAY. SO WE ALSO WENT UP 10,000 ON VEHICLE SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS.

LET'S SEE, THIS IS THE T4 LINE.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE THAT ONE IS, BUT WE WENT UP ANOTHER 10,000 THERE.

WE DROPPED, WE WENT UP ON SOFTWARE.

YES, SIR. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE WENT UP ABOUT 10,000 IN SUPPLIES OVERALL.

WHAT SERVICES DO WE CONTRACT OUT OR DO WE DO EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE? WE PRETTY MUCH DO EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE.

WE'VE OCCASIONALLY SEEN A TRANSMISSION GO OUT.

I'VE SEEN SOME FRAME REPAIR TYPE STUFF GO OUT.

BUT WE TRY TO DO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING IN, YOU KNOW, AN ENTIRE ENGINE.

WE WE MIGHT NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE.

WE MIGHT GET A WHOLE ENGINE BROUGHT IN, BUT WE PRETTY MUCH DO EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE.

AND THEN THE NUMBER OF DRIVERS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WHAT'S THAT NUMBER AGAIN? LAST TIME I CHECKED, I THINK WE WERE SOMEWHERE AROUND 20 SHORT.

BUT THAT'S A THAT'S A MOVING TARGET.

I CAN I CAN WRITE THAT ONE DOWN AS FAR AS WHAT WHAT THE DATE, HOW WE FINISH THE YEAR, BECAUSE WE HAVE ON HERE THE INCREASE FOR DOT PHYSICALS, WHICH I KNOW ARE EXPENSIVE.

I, YOU KNOW, ENCOUNTER THOSE IN MY LINE OF WORK AS WELL.

AND I PRESUME THAT OUR DOT PHYSICALS AT MOST SOMEBODY GETS A DOT PHYSICAL THAT'S GOOD FOR TWO YEARS.

YOU GOT SOME THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR A YEAR AND THEN OTHERS THAT ARE EVEN LESS THAN THAT.

I MEAN, WE JUST WE KEEP A ROLLING CALENDAR OF WHEN THEY'RE DUE CALENDAR ON PHYSICALS AND CREDENTIALS AND AND ALL OF THAT.

[02:10:07]

I THINK WE HAD A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM FOR THAT ONE.

IS IT UNDER CONTRACT AT SERVICES? OOPS. AND I PRESUME WE USE LOCAL CLINICS FOR THAT.

EXCUSE ME, DO WE USE. WE USE LOCAL CLINICS FOR OUR DOT PHYSICAL? YES, SIR. WE USE A LOCAL.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE GUY'S NAME? IT'S OUR LOCAL DOCTOR.

WE'VE HAD HIM FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

WE USE A LOCAL PERSON.

HAVE WE EVER LOOKED INTO CONTRACTING? THERE'S CLINICS THAT SPECIALIZE IN DOT PHYSICALS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A CLINIC.

IT'S A IT'S A LOCAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE WITH 250 EMPLOYEES, I MEAN, I WOULD IMAGINE WE CAN PROBABLY GET A PRETTY GOOD CONTRACT THAT WAY AS WELL.

DEFINITELY DON'T DO THAT IN THE HOUSE.

WE'RE IN A CONSORTIUM.

SURE. RIGHT. OKAY.

SEE. WHAT DID YOU SAY, ALEX, AS FAR AS HOW MUCH WE WENT UP ON PHYSICALS? LINE 10.

CONTRACTED SERVICES WENT UP 50,000.

OKAY? YEAH. BIG JUMP FOR SURE.

OKAY. SO TAKEAWAYS, WE'RE GOING TO HEDGE ONCE THE FUEL PRICES COME DOWN.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. THAT'S A TECHNIQUE.

THAT'S A TECHNIQUE. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD ALSO BE, YOU KNOW, SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD GOING, OKAY, WE BOUGHT IN IT, YOU KNOW, 280.

AND IT GOES DOWN TO ONE.

YOU CAN YOU CAN HOLD AT THAT POINT, YOU CAN NOT USE YOUR HEDGE.

AND I MEAN, HOLD IT.

I DON'T KNOW. I'VE YOU USE IT.

YEAH. YEAH YOU CAN USE IT.

YEAH. ANYWAYS. OKAY, I'D LIKE, I'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT.

WE COULD GET WITH THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT.

ME TOO, I'D LIKE TO LEARN TOO. WE CAN LEARN TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU. YOU CAN HEDGE.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON TRANSPORTATION, MR. CLEAVER. I KNOW I'VE HEARD FROM SOME BUS DRIVERS AND MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS, THAT THEY WOULD LOVE NEW SHIRTS, NEW UNIFORMS. THOSE THINGS HAVE TO LAST A REALLY LONG TIME.

AND THEY BUT THEY'VE HAD THEIRS FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE BUDGET FOR OUR DRIVERS TO GET? NEW UNIFORMS? NEW SHIRTS, I THINK IS WHAT THEY HAVE, LIKE THE POLO SHIRTS, BUT THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND THAN THEY DO LAST FOREVER OR THEY'RE MEANT TO LAST FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

BUT IS THERE ANY MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR THE FOR SOME NEW SHIRTS FOR OUR TRANSPORTATION FOLKS? YES, MA'AM, WE DO.

WE HAVE UNIFORMS IN HERE.

LET'S SEE HERE.

SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT LABELED EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL SPEND THEM FOR.

ALEX, DO YOU KNOW WHICH WHICH LINE THAT ONE IS? IS THIS ONE ACTUALLY CALLED UNIFORMS? LET'S SEE HERE WE DO, THOUGH, MS. PETREA. WE ABSOLUTELY DO.

I THINK IT'S THIS RENTAL LEASE LINE.

LINE 49, WE PUT IN AN ADDITIONAL 11,000 IN THIS YEAR FOR UNIFORMS. AWESOME. OKAY. WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT.

I'M SURE YOUR TLC WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT ALL OF THAT.

ALL RIGHT. ARE WE READY TO MOVE ON TO MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS? MR. CLEAVER, STAY CLOSE TO THE MIC.

ALL RIGHT, SO HERE WE HAVE 4 MILLION AND CHANGE.

60% OF CONTRACTED SERVICES.

ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS ON THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS BUDGET.

MR. CLEAVER AND THEN MR. SEVERANCE. MR. MCMANUS FOR MR. CLEAVER. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

OH, GOOD. MAX, THANKS FOR THE LISTS ON THE LEASE VEHICLES.

IF YOU ANSWERED THE OTHER PART OF THAT QUESTION IN HERE, I DIDN'T QUITE GET TO IT YET.

BUT IF YOU COULD TALK TO IT OR ARE YOU STILL SATISFIED WITH THAT ARRANGEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE? I MEAN, IS IT GOING THE WAY I KNOW WE'RE ASKING FOR MORE THINGS? SO IT MUST BE. BUT I'D KIND OF LIKE TO JUST HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW THAT'S GOING.

IT IS A COUPLE OF THINGS.

I MEAN, WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH AN ENTIRE LEASE CYCLE, YOU KNOW, SO THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ENTERPRISE PROGRAM AND A LEASE YOU MIGHT GET IF YOU JUST GO TO, YOU KNOW, APPLE LEASING OR SOMETHING WITH THOSE FOLKS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HIT YOUR MILEAGE AND YOU GO OVER THAT MILEAGE, YOU PAY X DOLLARS CENTS PER MILE OVER THAT AND YOU'RE JUST HOPING YOU CAN TURN IT IN SOONER. WELL, WE DON'T GET ANY KIND OF PENALTY FOR ANY MILEAGE.

THERE'S NO MILEAGE CAP.

BUT AT THE END OF THE AT THE END OF THAT LEASE, AT THAT 48 MONTH PERIOD, WE DO GET THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE SELL IT FOR AT AUCTION AND WHAT IT'S WHAT IT'S WORTH, WHAT WE OWE.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S YOUR INCENTIVE TO KEEP THEM NICE, RIGHT? AND SO WE JUST HADN'T BEEN THERE YET.

WE'VE THAT LIST SHOWS HOW MANY MONTHS WE'VE BEEN IN.

SO WE'RE AT ABOUT THAT TWO YEAR LIMIT.

AND SO THE OTHER PIECE IS RANDY IS TELLING ME THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS COMING DOWN THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A GOOD AMOUNT OF WORK ON HIS END.

AS WE AS THAT PROGRAM RAMPS UP, THE MORE VEHICLES WE GET JUST FOR SOME ACCOUNTING WITH REGARD TO.

JUST WITH REGARD TO LEASES IN GENERAL, SOME ACCOUNTING RULES.

[02:15:03]

WE CAN TAKE THE TAKE THE VEHICLES TO, YOU KNOW, INCLUDES IT EVERYTHING EXCEPT TIRES.

IT EVEN INCLUDES ONE SET OF BRAKES DURING THE LEASE PERIOD.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS THOSE VEHICLES GET TO THAT THREE, 36 MONTHS, 40 MONTHS, I THINK I'LL HAVE MORE TO TELL YOU WHEN THEY START, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THEM. THAT'S FINE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

MR. SEVERANCE. OKAY.

SO AGAIN, FIRST TIME IN DO THIS PROCESS, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE TAKEN OUT SOME STUFF OUT OF MAINTENANCE, SO IT SHOWS THAT WE'RE $400,000 DIFFERENCE.

BUT IS IT IT'S NOT REALLY $400,000 LESS THAN WE DID LAST YEAR.

RIGHT. SO IF YOU EVEN IF YOU TAKE OUT WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE OUT, THEN WHAT WAS THE REAL WHAT WAS THE NUMBER? BECAUSE, I MEAN, MAX SAYS ASSUMPTIONS, YOU KNOW, INCREASE, INCREASE, INITIATED, INCREASE.

AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT SHORTING MAX AND HIS MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

WHEN YOU'VE GOT FOUR OR 44.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET UNDER ONE ROOF, THAT'S JUST A DOLLAR PER SQUARE FOOT FOR BUDGET.

AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORK ORDERS HE DID LAST YEAR, IT'S IF YOU BROKE IT OUT, IT'S $264 PER WORK ORDER.

I REALLY CAN'T GET ANYONE TO COME TO MY HOUSE FOR $264.

SO THAT'S A LOT OF WORK YOU GUYS ARE DOING.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING ENOUGH TO MAX.

IT WAS AS MUCH AS OUR DISTRICT IS GROWING AND THINGS ARE COMING OUT OF WARRANTY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO ON ONE OF THE, THE SAME GROUP OF QUESTIONS I WAS THAT I HAD FORESIGHT FOR WITH MS . OROSCO ANSWER EARLIER.

MAYBE I HAD THE SAME FORESIGHT WITH THIS, BUT WE DID HAVE I HAVE A QUESTION WHY IS THERE A DECREASE IN MAINTENANCE? AND SO WHEN WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT IT, IT'S THE OVERALL MAINTENANCE BUDGET INCREASED BY $373,150 WHEN FACTORING IN THE RE CATEGORIZATION OF THE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE FROM MAINTENANCE BUDGET TO THE DISTRICT WIDE BUDGET.

AND THEN IN ADDITION, THAT WAS JUST TAKING OUT INSURANCE FROM LAST YEAR SO THAT WE COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES.

THE ONE THING THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DO BECAUSE IT WAS KIND OF SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET, WAS SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE NOW BEING TAKEN OVER BY ATHLETICS FOR THE FOR THE GROUNDS CREWS AND STUFF NOW FALLING UNDER THE ATHLETICS BUDGET.

SO, I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GUESS ON THAT, MAX, BUT IF YOU TAKE THE 373 PLUS, MAYBE WHAT THAT DIFFERENCE WOULD BE, I WOULD SAY, MAX, IS BUDGET AND MAINTENANCE PROBABLY INCREASE SOMEWHERE AROUND 450 PLUS ABOUT $2 A SQUARE FOOT.

OKAY THE 250,000 MORE SQUARE FOOT WE'RE ADDING.

SQUARE. OKAY. WELL, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF WE'RE WORKING ON.

AND, OH, FROM THE TWENTY BOND THAT WENT TO 21, GOT A LOT OF MAINTENANCE PROJECTS AND WE'RE YOU DIDN'T WE DIDN'T DO ANY MAINTENANCE BOND STUFF IN THE LAST MONTH.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BEING ALLOCATED ENOUGH TO DO ALL THAT YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO.

YES, SIR. THE TEAM MY TEAM HAS A PRETTY GOOD PROCESS.

THIS IS LIKE OUR FOURTH OR I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY OUR FIFTH BUDGET CYCLE.

AND THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS IT WAS A LITTLE ROCKY.

BUT I THINK WE I THINK WE'VE GOT IT KIND OF KIND OF WHERE WE NEED IT GOING FORWARD.

SO NEXT YEAR, IT'LL BE A LOT CLEANER WITH LAST YEAR VERSUS NEXT YEAR BECAUSE ALL OF US JUST PULLED OUT, RIGHT? JUST LESS MOVES. YEAH.

RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MAX.

ALL RIGHT, MR. VELA. AND THEN MRS. OROSCO. ALL RIGHT.

HVAC, SO THE COST OF REFRIGERATION HAS ALSO GONE UP.

DO WE ANTICIPATE I MEAN, BIG, BIG JUMPS IN WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO MAINTAIN THEM? WE'RE IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER.

WE KNOW WHEN SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE STILL IN THOSE VERY HIGH HEAT TEMPERATURES.

YES, SIR. A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THAT.

OUR MAINTENANCE BUDGET IS HIGHLY ALSO, JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT FINE ARTS INSTRUMENTS.

YOU KNOW, OUR MAINTENANCE BUDGET IS REALLY SUBSIDIZED WITH BOND FUNDS.

AND SO, FOR INSTANCE, ON FREON IN PARTICULAR, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOU KNOW, OUR CYCLES, WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS ALL THOSE REAL HIGH DOLLAR FREIGHT ON THAT.

THE OLD R 22 OUR 22.

EXACTLY. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET GET THOSE OUT.

AND THAT'S REALLY THAT BOND CYCLE HELPS WITH THAT.

OKAY. BUT YES, SIR.

ALBERT AND HIS TEAM.

YES, IF I CAN FIND THIS PARTICULAR BUDGET, THE M AND O BUDGET IS THE LARGEST BUDGET BECAUSE IT'S MAINTENANCE, CUSTODIAL, YOU KNOW, LOCKS, IT'S EVERYTHING.

AND SO IF I CAN FIND IT IN HERE, I KNOW WE INCREASE THAT.

WE ALSO INCREASED THE FILTER.

YOU KNOW, WE DO FILTER SERVICE.

SO PART OF THOSE THAT 60% OF PROFESSIONAL AND CONTRACTED SERVICES, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FIRE ALARM, THAT'S AIR FILTERS, THAT'S ELEVATOR SERVICE. IT'S ALL OF THOSE CONTRACTED SERVICES.

BUT YES, SPECIFICALLY FOR FOR SUPPLIES.

WE DID. AND I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE HVAC CODE RIGHT QUICK.

IT'S DOWN HERE AC.

[02:20:07]

AND THAT'S FOR THE 20-21 BOND.

LET'S SEE. SUPPLIES AC.

I'LL FIND IT FOR YOU HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

66,000 ON ROW 66.

THANK YOU, SIR. YES.

WE WENT UP.

11. $11,400.

AND THEN I KNOW YOU MENTIONED FILTERS.

JUST TALK TO ME HOW OUR AIR PURIFIERS ARE DOING.

I MEAN, WE HAVE THOSE INSTALLED, DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAMPUSES, OFFICES, CLASSROOMS, HAVING NO ISSUES WITH THOSE OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON A SWAP OUT PROCESS.

SO, I'VE KNOWN OF ONE THAT FAILED AND THEY SENT A BOX AND WITH A NEW ONE AND WE TOOK THE BOX AND SENT THE OLD ONE BACK, AND THAT'S THE ONLY FAILURE I KNOW OF . SO THEY'RE WORKING FINE AS FAR AS I KNOW, AND THEN THE AC FILTERS, WHAT I REFERRED TO A WHILE AGO, THAT'S THE ACTUAL EIGHT TIMES A YEAR THAT THEY COME OUT AND ACTUALLY CHANGE THE FILTERS ON ALL THE CAMPUSES.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

TRUSTEE OROSCO. I KNOW, MAX, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED OUT TOGETHER, WE HAD TO, LIKE, REALLY PUSH YOU TO INCREASE YOUR BUDGET.

REMEMBER, WHEN YOU DECREASED IT BY SO MUCH, AND WE'RE LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE IN THAT CYCLE OF REPLACEMENT AND NOT PUTTING IT OFF TO A BOND.

SO YOU'RE CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF YOUR NEEDS AND YOU DON'T NEED AN INCREASE IN YEAR? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ONE IN PARTICULAR AS FAR AS THE MAINTENANCE CYCLES? I MEAN, THE BOND TAKES CARE OF HVAC AND ROOF, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP BEFORE, LIKE FLOORING CARPET, YOU KNOW, THE CYCLE OF THAT AND ALSO FURNITURE.

I KNOW THAT WE HEAR FROM KYLE ELEMENTARY EVERY YEAR ABOUT THEM GETTING NEW FURNITURE, BECAUSE THEIR FURNITURE IS OLD AND ANTIQUATED AND SO ON.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S INCLUDED IN HERE, THAT REPLACEMENT OF FURNITURE? NO, MA'AM, I HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING ON A REPLACEMENT CYCLE FOR FURNITURE AT KYLE.

NO, MA'AM, THAT IS NOT IN THIS BUDGET.

SO THEN DO YOU NEED AN INCREASE IN BUDGET TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE NEEDS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP, AND WE WANT, JUST LIKE MISS RUNKLE HAS TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, REFRESHING THOSE OLDER CAMPUSES, RIGHT, WHERE IT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE A HUGE AMOUNT TO REFRESH THAT NEEDS TO GO TO BOND, BUT MIGHT BE A REFRESH LIKE THE FURNITURE ASPECT OF IT.

WE'VE DONE TABLES THAT WE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE AND HAVING A CYCLE FOR CAFETERIA TABLES, HAVING A CYCLE FOR THAT FURNITURE THAT IS GETTING OLD, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THAT IN HERE, BECAUSE KYLE ELEMENTARY, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS ASKED TIME AND TIME AND AGAIN FOR THAT FURNITURE.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK IT WOULD BE, IF WE COULD PUT IT IN THE BUDGET, I WOULD PROPOSE THAT IT WOULD GO IN THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION LINE AND HAVE THEM MAYBE KIND OF SPEARHEAD THAT. SO, MAX CLEAVER IS PASSING IT TO MISS SEDILLO.

IT WOULD TECHNICALLY BE CONSIDERED AN INSTRUCTIONAL COST, BUT THE BEST WAY TO PURCHASE THEM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE A BOND . IT DOES FEEL LIKE FF&E TO ME, BUT LET'S LET THEM FIGURE OUT IF IT'S C&I OR FF&E AND COME BACK TO US.

I DO LIKE YOUR SUGGESTION OF HAVING I MEAN, BECAUSE CARPETING WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE WEREN'T REALLY ON A GOOD SCHEDULE FOR, AND I DON'T THINK CARPET NEEDS TO BE IN A BOND. THIS WOULD BE A BOND THING FOR SURE.

OR, YOU KNOW, WE'LL COME UP WITH THE FLOORING CYCLE AND THEN TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT.

RIGHT. I MEAN, AND IT'S PROBABLY IN EVERY TEN YEAR TYPE OF CYCLE, BUT WE HAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT WERE 20 YEARS PLUS AND HAD NEVER SEEN NEW CARPET.

SO I DO THINK FURNITURE COULD BE AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE WHOLE CAMPUS.

RIGHT? RIGHT. THERE COULD BE SOME, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH GRADE LEVEL OR WHICH CLASSROOMS ARE GOING TO GET IT AND WHICH AREN'T AT A CAMPUS, AND THAT COULD BE HARD, AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE DONE THINGS WHERE WE'VE MOVED FURNITURE AROUND LIKE LIVE OAK, I THINK WAS HAPPY TO GET SOME FURNITURE THAT WAS MOVED OUT OF ANOTHER CAMPUS, RIGHT? AM I MAKING THAT UP? OKAY, NO, JUST RECENTLY FOR

[02:25:01]

BUT IF IT'S NOT, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, POCKETS THAT THEY NEED TO FIX, THEN MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN COME OUT OF YOUR FUND, RIGHT? SO REALLY SEEING WHAT THE NEED IS AND GETTING IT DONE.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MY FOURTH SHOWCASE AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT THE FURNITURE.

IT'S NOT OKAY.

WE NEED TO BE LISTENING BECAUSE WE GET THAT FROM PARENTS AS WELL, NOT JUST THE PRINCIPAL ADVOCATING FOR THEIR CAMPUS, BUT I HEAR ALL THE TIME, JUST LIKE MISS RUNKLE HEARS ABOUT TOM GREEN, I HEAR ABOUT KYLE ELEMENTARY.

OH, THE OLDER CAMPUSES DON'T GET ANY LOVE.

RIGHT? AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, KIDS ARE FEEL PROUD OF BEING AT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD CAMPUS.

SO I REALLY WANT TO PLAN FOR THAT, MR. CLEAVER, ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, WHETHER THE COST IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE ADD TO A BOND OR IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN COME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND OR YOUR BUDGET, RATHER.

YES, MA'AM, AND THEN ALSO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FLOORING, NOT JUST HUGE FLOORING, BUT THERE IS FLUORINE IN PORTABLES AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHERE THERE'S JUST TILES MISSING IN THOSE IN [INAUDIBLE] AND SO ON, IN THE PORTABLES AND THE MUSIC ROOM, WHATEVER AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

OKAY. SO JUST THINGS TO LOOK AT AND FOR YOU TO DETERMINE WHERE IT WILL COME OUT OF, BUT JUST GET IT DONE. GOT IT.

OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT TRUSTEE OROSCO IS SAYING.

LIKE, THERE'S I MEAN, JUST MINOR REPAIRS, I'M SURE ARE IN THIS BUDGET, MR. CLEAVER, FOR LIKE SINKS AND PAPER TOWEL HOLDERS AND ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE YOU DO AN AUDIT OF SOME SORT OF SOME OF OUR OLDEST CAMPUSES AND THOSE THOSE FURNITURE NEEDS TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME.

LIKE I SAID, NOT THE WHOLE CAMPUS, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A GOOD NUMBER OF TABLES AND CHAIRS THAT CAN BE REPLACED JUST UNTIL I THINK IT IS LIKE $4 MILLION OR SOMETHING TO OUTFIT AN ENTIRE SCHOOL.

IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY FOR FF&E, I COULD BE MAKING THAT UP.

THAT MAY BE A JOHNSON, MAYBE A HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR FURNITURE.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THE LAST COUPLE OF ELEMENTARIES ON THE FURNITURE PIECE.

THE ENTIRE CAMPUS FOR NEW ELEMENTARY HAS BEEN IN THAT 800 RANGE.

OKAY. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD GET THAT IN A CYCLE TO SHOW SOME OF THESE OLDER CAMPUSES THAT WE CARE ABOUT THEM, TOO, BECAUSE, I MEAN, TO YOUR POINT, WE'RE GETTING JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL NEW CAFETERIA TABLES AND IT'S A THREE YEAR OLD CAMPUS AND I KNOW THEY'RE GROWING, BUT THAT JUST OPTICALLY DOESN'T FEEL GREAT FOR SOME OF OUR OLDER CAMPUSES.

OKAY, ENOUGH ABOUT THAT.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR CUSTODIAL BUDGET, AND I'M ASSUMING SUPPLIES OF MATERIALS HAS A LOT TO DO WITH CLEANING SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS AND VACUUMS AND FLOOR CLEANING PRODUCTS.

FLOOR CLEANING PRODUCTS, ALL, YOU KNOW, MACHINERY, ALL OF IT.

YES, MA'AM. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? MRS. OROSCO. MR. CLEAVER, ARE YOU PROPOSING TO ADD NEW EQUIPMENT? YES, MA'AM. LET ME GET INTO THIS PARTICULAR BUDGET.

WE SUBMIT 8 DIFFERENT BUDGETS IN THIS ONE HERE.

SO LET'S SEE HERE. BECAUSE I SEE THE SUPPLIES AND DISINFECTANT AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT SPECIFICALLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT I HEAR EVERY YEAR IS WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MACHINES TO DO ALL THE WAXING.

THAT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BROKEN, THEY'RE DUCT TAPED, AND, YOU KNOW.

WE HEAR THAT A LOT.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SUFFICIENT EQUIPMENT FOR FOLKS TO DO THEIR JOB.

SO ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I LIKE ABOUT OUR PLAN HERE WITH THE BOND STUFF IS THAT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO THINK ABOUT THIS, BUT WE WE ACTUALLY LEVERAGE THESE BOND DOLLARS EVEN IN CUSTODIAL BECAUSE AS WE GO TO THIS POLISH CONCRETE, WE DON'T BUY WAX ANYMORE AT ALL, AND SO THAT'S A VERY GOOD THING, AND ALL THE MACHINERY AND ALL THE INJURIES THAT OCCUR WITH THAT.

BUT ON YOUR FIRST QUESTION ABOUT EQUIPMENT, YES, WE ARE, AND IT'S IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT.

SO WE HAVE $130,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR THINGS LIKE VACUUMS, CHARIOTS, PALLET JACKS AND DOLLIES FOR, YOU KNOW, CHAIRS AND ALL BUILDINGS.

SO 130 FOR THAT, AND THEN WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST WAREHOUSE DEPARTMENT THAT WE MAINTAIN MOST OF OUR OWN STUFF, BUT THEN THERE'S A

[02:30:01]

SO AGAIN, JUST LIKE THE OTHER BUDGET, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIGHER LINE ITEM, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REMOVED THIS YEAR FROM SEVERAL OF THE BUDGETS, I BELIEVE I HOPE I'M NOT TALKING OUT OF TURN.

YEAH, WE ZEROED OUT LAST YEAR.

WE HAD A COVID LINE ITEM IN SEVERAL OF THESE BUDGETS AND WE THINK WE'RE PAST THAT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NEED TO BUY FOR FOR THAT O ADDITIONAL SO THAT CAME OUT OF THAT BUDGET.

AND ANY REPLACEMENTS FOR ANY OF THOSE FOGGERS THAT THEY WEAR ON THEIR BACK, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S UNDER TRANSPORTATION, CUSTODIAL OR SO ON.

YOU KNOW HOW THEY WOULD DISINFECT.

ANY REPLACEMENT PURCHASES? WE'VE BEEN REPLACING THOSE AS WE GO IN TRANSPORTATION.

AND HOW ABOUT FOR THE CUSTODIANS? BECAUSE THEY WERE USING.

YES, MA'AM, WE HAVE THE BATTERY OPERATED ONES AND WE HAVE BEEN REPLACING THOSE.

WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE CORDED ONES AND MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER ON EVERYBODY TO USE THE BATTERY OPERATED ONES, AND WE DON'T FOG A WHOLE LOT ANYMORE.

THAT'S ALSO KIND OF BY THE WAYSIDE.

THE OTHER THING THAT'S GOING TO HELP US WITH THIS BUDGET IS WHEN WE TURN BACK ON THE HAND DRYERS.

WHAT? I THOUGHT THOSE WERE GONE FOR LIFE.

WELL, I WAS LETTING EVERYONE KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S I THINK WE CAN DO THAT NOW.

WELL, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN DO IT, IS IT THE MOST HYGIENIC? HAND DRYERS ARE BETTER THAN THE PAPER TOWELS.

DO WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT THE CDC SAYS REGARDING THE SPREAD OF GERMS? REMEMBER, WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT THAT.

SO LET'S CHECK ON THAT.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR WORK ORDERS, THE NUMBER OF CLOGGED TOILETS DID GO UP WITH THE INCREASE OF--YES, TOILETS OR GETTING GERMS ON MY FACE. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

THANKS, MAX CLEAVER.

MR. VELA. YEAH, MS. OROSCO, THANK YOU FOR ASKING. I WAS GOING TO ALSO REVERT BACK TO THE TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE OF THE DISINFECTING.

IS THAT A PRACTICE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON THE BUSSES IN BETWEEN SHIFTS? IS THAT SOMETHING WE STILL WILL DO? WE PROBABLY WILL REDUCE IT, AND I'LL VERIFY WITH [INAUDIBLE] WHAT IS FORWARD PLAN IS WE STILL HAVE THE MACHINES.

WE STILL HAVE THE BACKPACK SPRAYERS.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT DOING IT AS MUCH AS WE USED TO, BUT WE STILL HAVE IT AVAILABLE.

LET ME VERIFY EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING.

OKAY, AND THEN PROBABLY JUST IN SOME OF THE BUDGETS I DON'T KNOW IF IT FALLS UNDER MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OR CONSTRUCTION, BUT THE PLEXIGLASS STUFF, ALL THAT STUFF IS WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND REPURCHASE ANYTHING WE DON'T NEED.

WE'RE TAKING IT DOWN AND OR ARE WE REPLACING? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GLASS SHIELD SHIELDS, LIKE SNEEZE GUARDS? ALL OF THE ABOVE. THEY'VE COME DOWN IN MOST PLACES.

THERE YOU SEE ONE UP OCCASIONALLY, BUT WE'VE TAKEN THEM DOWN IN A LOT OF PLACES.

IF THE CAMPUS REQUESTS TO LEAVE THEM UP, WE LEAVE THEM UP, AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY DISINFECTING FOR COVID SPECIFIC CHALLENGES, I MEAN, DOES THAT CHANGE THE MAKEUP OF WHAT CHEMICALS AND CLEANERS WE'RE USING? ARE WE GOING TO SOMETHING THAT WE WERE USING PRE-COVID OR ARE WE STICKING WITH SOMETHING THAT WE'VE GONE TO BECAUSE OF COVID? ACTUALLY, WE ACTUALLY HAVE CHANGED CHEMICALS IN THE LAST, SAY 6 TO 8 MONTHS.

WE'VE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF SWITCHING OVER TO ECOLAB, AND SO WE DIDN'T JUST DUMP THE CHEMICALS, YOU KNOW, WE MOVED THEM TO CAMPUSES.

WE STARTED A CYCLE, STARTED THE NEW PRODUCT, AND NOW WE'RE ALMOST CYCLED THROUGH ALL THE CAMPUSES WITH THE NEW PRODUCTS AND THEN THE PRODUCTS THAT WE'RE MOVING TO, THE ECOLAB PRODUCTS, THOSE ARE STILL GREAT AS FAR AS DISINFECTING FOR ANY YOU KNOW, AGAIN, JUST KEEPING THE VENDORS HONEST, WENT WITH A DIFFERENT VENDOR AND GETTING REALLY GOOD RESULTS.

OKAY, GREAT, THANK YOU. OUR CUSTODIAL DIRECTOR, YOU REMEMBER HE HAD COME FROM A HOSPITAL TYPE ENVIRONMENT SOME TIME AGO, AND SO REALLY LIKE HOW HE'S ROLLING THAT OUT.

OKAY, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, GREAT.

IN TALKING WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS, THE PAPER TOWELS NEED TO GO.

THEY ARE A PROBLEM AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

ALSO ON THE MAINTENANCE REQUEST SIDE, I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS.

TO MRS. OROSCO POINT EARLIER, IF TEACHERS HAVE MISSING TILES OR THINGS LIKE THAT, CAN THEY PUT IN A MAINTENANCE REQUEST TO GET SOME OF THOSE THINGS FIXED? I SAW THAT YOU DID 15,000 WORK ORDERS.

[02:35:02]

SO THAT'S AMAZING.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THEY JUST NEED TO PUT IN A WORK ORDER.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ON EACH CAMPUS THAT ARE KIND OF TRAINED IN IT TO DO IT THE BEST.

AND IT'S GENERALLY THE LEAD CUSTODIANS.

NORMALLY ONE PERSON AND THEN THE CAMPUS SECRETARY IS NORMALLY A PERSON, SOME CAMPUSES THAT THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL WOULD BE THAT PERSON, BUT WE CAN PUT OUT A LIST LIKE AN EMAIL BLAST TO EACH CAMPUS OF WHO THE PEOPLE ARE.

OKAY, GOOD, AND THOSE ARE VERY, VERY BUSY PEOPLE THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED.

IS THERE A BACKUP PERSON? THE CAMPUS HAS A BACKUP, A PRIMARY AND A BACKUP.

GREAT, ALL RIGHT.

YES, IF YOU WANT TO YEAH, EMAIL BLASTS EVERYONE, REMIND THEM WHO THOSE FOLKS ARE ON THEIR CAMPUS TO PUT IN MAINTENANCE REQUESTS OVER THE SUMMER, THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THOSE AND, YOU KNOW, BROKEN SINKS OR MISSING TILES.

ALL THOSE THINGS.

YOUR TEAM STANDS READY TO FIX THEM.

YES, MA'AM. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT CUSTODIAL.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR SECURITY BUDGET HERE AND IT'S CURRENTLY AT $1.4 MILLION.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM. MR. VELA.

ON THE INCREASED PRICE FOR--WHO DO WE USE FOR RADIOS? ARE WE USING LCRA? YES, SIR.

AND THEY DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON THE RADIOS AS WELL? WE KIND OF RUN THEM THROUGH JERRY SHOP AND THEN THEY EVENTUALLY GET TO TRANSPORTATION, AND WE HAVE A PERSON OUT THERE THAT KIND OF BROKERS IT SO THAT. SO EVERYONE'S NOT JUST INDIVIDUALLY GOING TO LCRA.

WE FUNNEL IT THROUGH A CENTRAL POINT.

OKAY, AND THEN THE INCREASE OR THE PROFESSIONAL AND CONTRACTED SERVICES.

THIS IS OUR SRO.

THIS ACTUALLY IS THE PAYROLL COST, I GUESS, IF YOU WILL, THAT WE SPEND ON OUR SROS, INCLUDING THE INCREASED HEAD COUNT ? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

THESE ARE THE SROS THAT WE CONTRACT OUT WITH HAYS COUNT.

RIGHT. THIS IS ALSO THE K-9 DOGS.

YOU KNOW, THE DRUG DOGS.

RANDY, DO WE STILL HAVE THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE COURIER SERVICE, THE MONEY SERVICE IN THIS ONE? OR DID YOU MOVE IT TO--NO, THAT'S THE SHIFT THAT'S THE DIFFERENT SOFTWARE FOR THE THING THAT THEY JUST PUT IN THIS YEAR.

SO THERE'S SEVERAL SOFTWARE ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, ID'ING DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS OF STUDENTS.

SO THAT'S LET'S SEE, LET ME GET INTO JERRY'S BUDGET.

I THINK THAT THE SROS IS WELL OVER $1,000,000 OF THE BUDGET.

LET'S SEE. SO IT'S ALSO THE DNS WEATHER SENTRY.

YOU KNOW, WE GET DETAILED WEATHER REPORTS SENT TO PEOPLE OUT IN THE FIELD IN TERMS OF THE COACHES AND THOSE FOLKS.

SO THAT INCLUDES THAT SERVICE.

IT ALSO INCLUDES.

YES. SO OUR RADIO SERVICE IS ACTUALLY BROKEN DOWN.

YOU KNOW, RANDY, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE TRY TO COMPARTMENTALIZE EVERYTHING WITH THAT [INAUDIBLE] CODE.

SO WE'VE GOT SORT OF A TRANSPORTATION STRAND ALL THE TRANSPORTATION RADIOS AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE MAINTENANCE RADIOS AND CUSTODIAL.

IT'S IN ONE, AND THEN WHAT WE CALL JUST THIS ADMINISTRATION RADIOS.

THAT'S ALL YOUR PRINCIPALS AND ALL YOUR CAMPUS RADIOS.

SO WE KIND OF HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE STRANDS TO TRACK WHAT GOES WHERE, AND THAT'S FOR BOTH THE SERVICE AND THE REPAIR AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THEM.

SO IT'S THREE STRANDS.

SO YOU'VE GOT NINE ACCOUNTS FOR THE RADIOS, BASICALLY.

THE OTHER SOFTWARE IN THIS PARTICULAR BUDGET IS WE'RE STANDING UP AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE PUSHING IT OUT LIKE MAYBE SEPTEMBER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FORWARD FACING FACILITIES RENTAL PROGRAM THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO ONLINE, PULL UP A CAMPUS, AND IT SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO RENT.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO REDUCE EMAIL TRAFFIC AND REDUCE THE BACK AND FORTH WITH CAN I RENT IT OR CAN I NOT RENT IT? YOU GO ONLINE, IT'S KIND OF LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES.

IF THE SEATS TAKEN, YOU KNOW, THE SEAT'S TAKEN.

SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS, AND SO I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT IN THAT BUDGET.

SO, I'M SURE THAT THE BUDGET PLANNING HAPPENED MONTHS AGO, OR AT LEAST EVEN LEADING UP TO MORE THAN A MONTH AGO.

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF OR THAT JERRY IS ASKING FOR OR THAT NEEDS TO BE FRONT OF MIND FOR US.

SO WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE MAY NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN IT COMES TO OUR SECURITY BUDGET? I THINK THE NON-PAYROLL STUFF IS SPOKEN FOR.

IT WOULD JUST BE THAT ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND THE ADDITIONAL SECURITY GUARD AND THE UPGRADE FOR THE FOR THE SECURITY GUARDS TO THAT PAY GRADE FOR.

OKAY, THANK YOU, AND PERHAPS SOME FENCING, SOME GATES.

WE DO. YES, SIR.

FENCING GATES, AND AGAIN, THOUGH, THAT CAN COME OUT OF THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

[02:40:04]

THAT'S THE KIND OF THING YOU CAN PULL OUT OF THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FENCING, BUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT AREAS ARE WE LOOKING AT? WELL, SHE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A DETAILED SUMMARY OF WHAT HER ASSETS ARE AS SOON AS SHE COMPILES THEM.

SO I CAN GIVE YOU KIND OF AN ESTIMATE, YOU KNOW, ON THE BACK OF OUR OLD PROTOTYPE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WHERE WE DELIVER FOR FOOD SERVICE, THERE'S AN OPENING, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING GATES IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS SO THAT WE WILL HAVE IT TOTALLY FENCED IN, AND THAT'S A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN [INAUDIBLE].

I KNOW SHE'S LOOKING AT THAT, FOR EXAMPLE.

SOME ONESIES AND TWOSIES, YOU KNOW, ALSO TO TRY TO AS A WAY TO SORT OF INCREASE OUR RENTAL POSSIBILITIES.

YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE JUST SORT OF USE OUR PARKING LOTS ON THE WEEKEND.

YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN HAVE SOME CONTROL OF SOME OF THESE PARKING LOTS, YOU'D BE MORE LIKELY TO RENT THEM IF YOU COULDN'T GET INTO THEM, EXCEPT WITH A KEY, YOU MIGHT RENT THEM INSTEAD OF JUST PEOPLE BORROWING THEM.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROSCO.

WHAT A GREAT SOURCE OF REVENUE, MAX, LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE A SMARTY PANTS.

I LOVE IT.

I KNOW THAT MOVING FORWARD, JERRY IS GOING TO BRING US LOTS OF RECOMMENDATIONS.

RIGHT, DR. WRIGHT? SO WE DO ANTICIPATE THIS BUDGET LINE INCREASING FROM 1.4 AND CHANGE TO A LOT MORE FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, SINCE IT IS DEFINITELY A PRIORITY OF THIS BOARD AND OF ADMINISTRATION AND OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

SO WE'LL HAVE THAT READY FOR THE JUNE 20TH MEETING, CORRECT? IT ALL DEPENDS.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL SAFETY CENTER AND WAITING FOR THE AFTER ACTION PLAN, AND WE'RE GETTING NUMBERS TOGETHER AS FAR AS MANPOWER, OPPORTUNITIES, THAT TYPE OF THING, AND SO IT MAY BE AFTER THAT, BUT IF SO, WE CAN JUST AMEND THE BUDGET AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO PRELIMINARY BUDGET INCREASE MIGHT HAPPEN FOR THE JUNE 20TH MEETING, BUT IF NOT, WE CAN AMEND IT LATER KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE MORE MONEY INTO SAFETY AND SECURITY, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE OVER HERE? MR. SEVERANCE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS APPLIES HERE, BUT SPEAKING OF ADDED BUDGET, I MEAN, IF WE'RE ABLE TO DO THE BUSSES OUT OF MAX'S, THE BUSSES OUT OF THE POND, THEN YOU WERE ASKING FOR 325 OR $375,000 FOR THOSE FOUR BUSSES.

WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING WE COULD JUST MOVE OVER TO THE SECURITY PROPOSED BUDGET AND THEN KEEP THE BUDGET KIND OF LIKE BUDGET NEUTRAL FROM WHAT'S PRESENTED TO US RIGHT NOW? CAN WE MOVE THAT AROUND IF WE NEED TO? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. IF THE BOARD ALREADY ADOPTED THE BUDGET AND THEN WE MOVED IT, IT WOULD IT WOULD BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT, BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S CROSSING FUNCTIONS, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

GREAT QUESTION. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JERRY'S WISH LIST, EVEN IF WE HAVE TO AMEND THE BUDGET.

OTHERWISE, WE'LL JUST ADD $1,000,000.

THAT SHOULD GET HER STARTED.

RIGHT, TEAM? ALSO, IF WE WERE TO DO SOME KIND OF WE KNOW FENTANYL IS HERE.

WE KNOW WE'VE GOT DRUGS IN OUR COMMUNITY INCREASING AT A RATE WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE , AND I KNOW THE STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL KIND OF PRE-COVID WAS TALKING ABOUT DRUG TESTS AND, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF RADICAL THINGS, BUT WHAT IF WE WERE TO DO A DRUG AWARENESS PROGRAM AND PAID SPEAKERS? AND I MEAN, LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWERS ARE, BUT I KNOW THAT REALLY SMART PEOPLE ARE THINKING THROUGH WHAT WE COULD BE DOING TO SORT OF GET AHEAD OF THIS.

WOULD THAT FALL UNDER THIS BUDGET IF WE HAD SOME KIND OF REALLY INTENTIONAL PROGRAM OR PARTNERSHIPS TO TRY AND GET AHEAD OF OF THE DRUG SITUATION THAT WE'RE SEEING? OR COUNCILORS OR THIS BUDGET.

ONE OF THE TWO. DOES STUDENT SERVICE HAVE ITS OWN BUDGET SEPARATE AND APART FROM THIS.

STUDENT SERVICES? YEAH.

SO MAYBE THAT MAYBE THAT'S MORE APPROPRIATE.

I JUST WANT TO PUT THIS ON SOMEBODY'S RADAR THAT WE'VE GOT TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX ON HOW WE GET AHEAD OF THE DRUG SITUATION.

YEAH, I KNOW THEY'RE PLANNING ON WORKING IT INTO THE STUDENT ORIENTATION.

YOU KNOW HOW THEY DO ALL THE PROCESSES AT THE BEGINNING AND THEY'RE WORKING ON A PLAN AS WELL BECAUSE I MEAN, WE KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE, AND

[02:45:04]

MR. SAVOY AND I RAN INTO--I WISH HE WAS IN HERE--RAN INTO THE [INAUDIBLE] FOLKS THE OTHER DAY WHO CLAIMED TO BE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THEM AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF US.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PROBABLY MISLEADING AT BEST, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PROGRAMS LIKE THAT PROBABLY TRYING TO GET BACK ON THE RADAR AND CERTAINLY AM NOT ENDORSING THE DARE PROGRAM FROM THE 1980S, BUT I KNOW WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE DOING.

I HEAR FROM PARENTS AND WE HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE TRENDS COMING.

SO I KNOW WE ALSO NEED TO HARDEN OUR TARGETS.

WE NEED TO HARDEN OUR SCHOOLS.

WE NEED TO, WHATEVER JERRY TELLS US WE NEED TO DO, WE WANT TO DO, AND THIS BOARD IS ON BOARD WITH THAT.

SO LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE FROM HER.

ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON SECURITY? GREAT. WE'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG ON UTILITIES, AND I SAW WE HAD A GREAT QUESTION FROM ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH, IS IT SYNERGISTIC? MR. CLEAVER THAT HELPS US IDENTIFY SAVINGS AND COST SAVINGS ACROSS OUR UTILITY BUDGETS? YES, MA'AM, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ENERGY PROGRAM UPDATE.

DO YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT THAT? I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

I THINK FOLKS LISTENING SHOULD HEAR ABOUT THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS OR SO THAT WE INITIATED THIS.

SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? YEAH, SO SYNERGISTIC DOES SORT OF A BEHAVIORAL PROGRAM.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'VE LEVERAGED ALL THE EQUIPMENT WE ALREADY HAVE AND JUST GO OUT AND THEY ACTUALLY DO--WE HAVE A PERSON THAT DOES OFF TIME AUDITS AND SO AT THE TOP OF THE BACK PAGE, THIS PARTICULAR ONE INDIVIDUAL IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS HAS DONE 1347 AUDITS.

SO THIS PERSON LITERALLY GOES AROUND WHEN WE'RE NOT THERE AND WE TELL THEM, HEY, EVERYTHING'S SUPPOSED TO BE TURNED OFF.

AND HE GOES, OKAY, WELL, WHY IS THAT RUNNING? OR WHY IS THAT RUNNING? AND SO EVEN THOUGH THE CONTROLS SAY IT ALL, IT'S OFF, SOMETIMES THERE'S SOME VARIATION TO THAT.

SO THAT'S WHERE THIS THING STARTS, AND THEN SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO EXPRESS SAVINGS, BUT THEY USE A WORD CALLED COST AVOIDANCE, AND THAT'S SOMEWHAT OF A SAVINGS TERM, BUT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT REALLY MEANS, SO THEY'RE SAYING WE'VE SAVED OR AVOIDED ABOUT $1.24 MILLION OF COST.

WE'VE ACTUALLY WRITTEN THEM CHECKS, REAL CHECKS TOTALING $527,000 OVER THAT SAME TIME PERIOD, BUT I THINK THE REAL STORY THAT YOU CAN'T HOCUS POCUS OR SMOKE AND MIRRORS IN ANY WAY IS THIS COST PER SQUARE FOOT TREND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST PAGE.

SO SINCE WE'VE STARTED, WE'VE GONE FROM A DOLLAR NINE PER SQUARE FOOT DOWN TO $0.85 PER SQUARE FOOT FOR ALL UTILITIES COMBINED.

SO IF YOU TAKE WATER, SEWER, GAS, ELECTRIC AND PROPANE, WE'VE GONE DOWN.

SO SAID ANOTHER WAY.

IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM GRAPH, OVER THIS SAME PERIOD, WE'VE INCREASED ABOUT 600,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT OUR SPEND HAS STAYED THE SAME.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE INCREASING LOTS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT WE'RE HOLDING OUR COST.

SO THEN IF YOU GO TO THE BACK OF THE PAGE, THE REASON--SO AGAIN, WE'RE LEVERAGING NOT ONLY THIS PROGRAM, BUT WE'RE LEVERAGING THESE BOND DOLLARS WITH THIS NEW EQUIPMENT THAT WE GET, THIS NEW AC EQUIPMENT INFUSED ALL THE TIME AND I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY SHOWING THAT IT'S WORKING.

SO ENERGY USE INTENSITY ON THE BACK PAGE, EUI, IS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD MEASUREMENT.

IF YOU TAKE YOUR ELECTRICITY AND CONVERT IT TO BTUS AND YOU TAKE YOUR GAS, WHICH IS ALREADY IN BTUS, THAT GETS YOU YOUR ENERGY USE INTENSITY, AND SO WE'VE GONE FROM A 40.1 THOUSAND BTUS PER SQUARE FOOT TO 26.5, WHICH GIVES US A DECREASE OF ABOUT 33%, AND THE REGIONAL AVERAGE, WHEN WE STARTED, WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOOD, BUT WE WERE JUST AVERAGE, AND SO, BUT NOW WE ARE GOOD.

WE'RE AT 26.5 AND THE AVERAGE IS 40, AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE STORY IS THAT WE'VE ADDED SQUARE FOOTAGE BUT KEPT OUR, YOU KNOW, 600,000 SQUARE FEET AND KEPT OUR SPEND THE SAME.

SO, I THINK IT'S KIND OF [INAUDIBLE], AND THERE'S ONE OTHER THING IN YOUR PACKET.

IT'S A COLORFUL GRAPH HERE AND IT'S ALSO A VERY TELLING SHEET.

IT SHOWS THAT OUR AVERAGE COST FOR ALL UTILITIES AND I NEED TO CHANGE IT ON THIS SLIDE.

I JUST NOTICED I DIDN'T CHANGE IT.

[02:50:01]

I DON'T THINK I HAVE THAT ONE.

YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT. I'M SORRY.

I MIGHT HAVE JUST PULLED THIS ONE OFF MY DESK THINKING IT WAS IN YOUR PACKET.

[CHUCKLING] BUT IT'S A REALLY GOOD STORY.

I'LL GET IT TO YOU.

WELL, AND I LIKE THE QUOTE THAT WAS WAS IN OUR PACKET.

SO ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES EXCEPT FOR THREE THIS YEAR ARE GOING TO GET THE ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION WHICH MEANS YOU'RE AT LEAST AS GOOD AS YOUR PEERS AND THE ONES THAT AREN'T GOING TO GET IT HAVE TO DO WITH WEIRD THINGS LIKE SO FOR INSTANCE, UHLAND DIDN'T GET IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EXTREMELY EFFICIENT BECAUSE IT HAD TO DO WITH SOME KIND OF PROPANE RATING BECAUSE WE'RE STILL ON PROPANE OUT THERE, AND SO SOMETHING HAPPENED THERE AND THERE ARE TWO OTHER CAMPUSES, BUT IT WAS ALL ONE OFF STUFF.

IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THEIR ENERGY USAGE.

IT HAD TO DO WITH SOME OF THE OTHER METRICS INVOLVED.

SO IT'S NOT JUST A STRAIGHT ENERGY USAGE THING.

THERE'S LIKE ENERGY USAGE AND SOME OTHER CRITERIA.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T SAY, OH, I'M REALLY ENERGY EFFICIENT BY TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS, FOR INSTANCE, RIGHT? THAT'S NOT A GOOD LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, BUT SO ANYWAY, ALL CAMPUSES BUT THREE WILL GET ENERGY STAR THIS YEAR AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE MCMANUS SUBMITTED THAT QUESTION.

I APPRECIATE THAT, AND GETTING THIS REALLY HANDY DANDY FORM.

IF THAT OTHER FORM IS HELPFUL TO US, CAN YOU HAVE THAT ON BOARD BLOG FOR US, SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT? I SURE WILL. WHAT IT SHOWS IS THE COST PER SQUARE FOOT FOR EACH UTILITY BY CAMPUS.

OKAY, YEAH, THAT'D BE HELPFUL TO SEE.

IT SHOWS WHAT YOU WOULD THINK YOU'D SEE.

SO, LIKE A DATA CENTER IS OUR BIGGEST, YOU KNOW, COST PER SQUARE FOOT BECAUSE IT'S ON 24/7 AND SOME OTHER CAMPUSES ARE LESS SO.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROSCO? THANKS FOR PROVIDING THIS, MAX.

I'M WONDERING HOW COVID CAME INTO PLAY, RIGHT? BECAUSE OUR BUILDINGS WERE NOT OCCUPIED FOR MONTHS AND THEY WERE NOT AT FULL OCCUPANCY FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS.

SO WE'VE BEEN KIND OF OFFLINE.

SO WHEN WE PULLED THOSE COVID TIME OUT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE PULLING THOSE COVID MONTHS OUT THAT WE WERE NOT 100% BACK ON CAMPUS.

YES, MA'AM, IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THIS COST PER SQUARE FOOT TREND.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT. I BELIEVE YOU CAN SEE IT IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, ONE AND TWO.

SO, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, YOU DON'T SAVE 100% FOR COVID, YOU KNOW, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE AVERAGE SAVINGS WAS IN THAT 30% RANGE, AND WE QUESTIONED THAT, BUT YOU'RE BUILDING STILL COME ON.

WE DON'T TURN THEM OFF.

WE LEAVE THEM ON IN UNOCCUPIED MODE.

SO THEY STILL COME ON, THEY STILL CYCLE.

THE COVID IMPACT WAS ABOUT A 30% SAVINGS JUST BY ITSELF.

SO THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO REFLECT THAT, RIGHT.

TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

30% SAVINGS WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND I KNOW THAT WE PAY THEM A PORTION, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. WE STARTED WITH A 50% SAVINGS AND BELIEVE IN, LET'S SEE IN APRIL OR MAY OF 21, WE WENT TO A FLAT FEE.

OKAY, CAN YOU SHARE THAT WITH US LATER.

DID YOU ALL GET THIS SHEET HERE? DID I PROVIDE THIS? I'M SORRY IF I DIDN'T? I DON'T KNOW.

WE'RE LOST WITH A MILLION PIECES OF PAPER.

I'LL PROVIDE THESE THESE TWO SHEETS.

I MEANT TO PROVIDE THESE.

THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

THANKS, MAX, AND IT'S REALLY HOT IN HERE.

MR. MCMANUS. IT'S COST AVOIDANCE.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION, AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE NOT ALWAYS REAL GOOD AT AS A DISTRICT IS MAYBE MESSAGING GOOD NEWS, AND I THINK A LOT OF THIS IS GOOD NEWS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS DISTRICT WHO ARE VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS AND CARE ABOUT THESE THINGS , AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE OKAY WITH ADVERTISING SOME OF THESE THINGS, AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, I SEE A DOLLAR NINE.

I CAN SKIP THE TWO PROBABLY COVID YEARS OF $0.80 AND 82, BUT I'M THINKING A $1.09 TO $0.85 IS PROBABLY THE REAL STORY.

RIGHT? LIKE THAT'S STILL A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS, AND, YOU KNOW, THE ENERGY USE INTENSITY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT WE'RE DOING AS A DISTRICT TO MINIMIZE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT, IF YOU WILL, AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT WE'RE DOING.

IT'S GOOD STUFF.

I MEAN, OTHERWISE WE COULD BE INCREASING THE BUDGET.

THAT WOULDN'T BE A, YOU KNOW, OPTICALLY OR WHATEVER THAT WORD IS.

THE OPTICS ON THAT WOULD BE LIKE, OH, HEY, YOU'RE GROWING.

IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE DISTRICT TO HAVE A HIGHER ENERGY BILL, BUT YOU CAN ALSO NOT DO THAT.

[02:55:03]

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. SEVERANCE. SO WITH THIS COST AVOIDANCE, LIKE, I MEAN, I REALLY ALSO LOVE THIS.

LIKE I'VE HAD PEOPLE ASK ME, GOD, THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON, AND I'M LIKE, WELL, I MEAN, SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS ARE JUST GOING TO BE ON SOMETIMES, BUT LIKE, OKAY, SO TAKE THIS AUDIT GROUP OUT OF IT. SO LET'S SAY WE WERE ABLE TO BUNDLE THIS WITH MAKING SOME SORT OF INCENTIVE FOR CAMPUSES TO LIKE DO GOOD WITH THEIR ENERGY SAVINGS. LIKE, HOW MUCH MORE COULD WE DO IF WE WERE ABLE TO PARLAY SOME OF THE COST AVOIDANCE SAVINGS INTO SOME SORT OF BENEFIT FOR THE CAMPUSES THAT WERE THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT? OR COULD YOU GET THEM, COULD YOU THEN TEACH KIDS HOW TO BE ENERGY EFFICIENT? I MEAN, IT'S A WHOLE PROGRAM YOU COULD ROLL DOWN, I DON'T KNOW, TO HELP THEM SAVE MORE MONEY.

I MEAN, I'M JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD DO MORE OF THAT, LIKE, BUT THAT WOULD BE KIND OF LIKE TAKE SOME OF THAT COST AVOIDANCE SAVINGS AND MAYBE INCENTIVIZE CAMPUSES TO DO MORE TO GET THAT NUMBER DOWN TO $0.81 NEXT YEAR.

WE COULD DEFINITELY WORK TOWARDS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I THINK SYNERGISTIC WOULD PROBABLY HELP WITH THAT.

OKAY, GREAT.

THANKS. WE DO PAY THEM AFTER ALL, MR. CLEAVER. SO IF IT'S [INAUDIBLE] PARTIES OR WHATEVER INCENTIVES THEY NEED, YES, PLANT TREES ON CAMPUSES.

OH, I LIKE THAT IDEA.

OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON OUR UTILITIES PAGE? ALL RIGHT, GREAT DISCUSSION SO FAR.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY.

MISS BORRESON IS HERE.

$2.2 MILLION AND SOME CHANGE ON HER BUDGET.

44% IS SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, WHICH I'M SURE COULD BE BROKEN OUT FURTHER INTO TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES OF SOME SORT FOR NEXT YEAR.

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.

MS. BORRESON, DO YOU HAVE ANY HIGHLIGHTS YOU WANT TO PROVIDE IT BEFORE I GO TO QUESTIONS FROM THE TEAM? NO, I THINK THE ONLY REAL INCREASE THAT WAS WAS REALLY SIGNIFICANT WAS FOR CYBERSECURITY, AND THAT WAS TO ADD ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE MONITORING AND REPORTING TOOLS IN ORDER FOR US TO DO FORENSICS AND ALSO PREVENTATIVE STUDENT MONITORING, YADDA, YADDA.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT INCORPORATE ANY ADDED STAFF FOR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

NO, I HAD TWO ADDITIONAL STAFF POSITIONS.

THEN JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SOFTWARE LICENSES THAT ARE SORT OF DISTRICTWIDE, DO THOSE GO HERE? YES, THEY DO. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, TEAM, QUESTIONS FOR MS. BORRESON. MR. VELA.

HI, MS. BORRESON, SO HOW ARE WE LOOKING FOR THE 1 TO 1 DEVICES WITH? I SEE THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MAINTAIN THAT RATIO.

WE ARE, AND WE'RE LOOKING GREAT.

WE HAVE ENOUGH DEVICES FOR 1 TO 1.

THE CAMPUSES CONTINUALLY WANT TO EXPAND FOR SPECIAL PROGRAMS. I DID JUST SUBMIT AN ECF EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND GRANT FOR ANOTHER 5000 DEVICES AND OUR MIFI. SO I'LL KNOW VERY SHORTLY IF WE RECEIVE THAT, BUT IF WE JUST TODAY WE HAVE ENOUGH 1 TO 1.

OKAY, GREAT, AND WHAT IS THE LEAD TIME NOW COMPARED TO WHAT IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THESE EFFORTS? IT'S BETTER.

APPLE NOW WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY IN GETTING THE IPADS, BUT WE ONLY USE THOSE IN K ONE.

THE CHROMEBOOKS I THINK NOW ARE ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS, 8 TO 10 INSTEAD OF 16.

SO IT'S BETTER; DELL'S KIND OF TURN SOME THINGS AROUND.

OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

OTHER QUESTIONS. MR. MCMANUS. I'M SO SORRY, DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO BE IN YOUR ARENA, BUT I OFTEN HEAR FROM TEACHERS THAT CELL PHONES DON'T WORK ON THEIR CAMPUSES AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE EMERGENCIES, AND OF COURSE, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FRONT OFFICE, AND THAT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY.

IT'S GOOD PROTOCOL, BUT ARE ALL BUILDINGS EQUIPPED WITH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT WI-FI SO THAT THEY HAVE A CAPABILITY TO USE THEIR PHONES IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY? YES, MA'AM. EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM HAS A WIRELESS ACCESS POINT, AND IF THE TEACHERS TURN ON WI-FI CALLING, THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO.

WE DON'T HAVE CELL PHONE EXTENDERS.

WE DO IN A COUPLE OF THE NEWER CAMPUSES, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THEM EVERYWHERE, BUT YOU CAN DO WI-FI CALLING AND WE HAVE 100% WIRELESS COVERAGE.

[03:00:01]

SO WE DON'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR PERSONAL DEVICES.

EVERY CLASSROOM DOES ALSO HAVE A CLASSROOM PHONE STILL.

OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT. MR. VELA, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION OR? NO, WE WERE JUST BEING WAVED DOWN.

OH, OKAY. SORRY.

ALL RIGHT. MR. MCMANUS.

OKAY, SO JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS.

REMIND ME, YOU SAID WHAT THE PERCENTAGE WAS BEFORE, AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT'S BEEN OUR BREAK PERCENTAGE OR REPLACEMENT PERCENTAGE FOR LIKE THE 1 TO 1 DEVICES.

I KNOW THERE WAS A CERTAIN NUMBER.

WE WERE JUST ALL LIKE, WOW.

YEAH, WE MATTER OF FACT, WE JUST GOT THE NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT CYCLE OF THOSE THAT DIDN'T RETURN AND OR WERE BROKEN, AND IT WAS ABOUT 200,000 THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO LOCATE, AND SO IF YOU DO $200,000, THAT'S $300 A DEVICE DIVIDE THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY DEVICES AND THEN MULTIPLY IT TIMES THREE.

I MEAN, THAT'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE REPLACEMENT JUST FOR THE LOST OR STOLEN.

THE CHROMEBOOKS, THE REASON WE DID THAT ECF FUNDING FOR 5000 DEVICES IS BECAUSE GOOGLE CHROME NOW HAS KIND OF ADOPTED THE APPLE WAY OF DOING THINGS AND SO THEIR OS WILL EXPIRE AFTER SIX YEARS.

SO WE'VE HAD CHROMEBOOKS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH RECEIVING GOOGLE UPDATES SINCE 2016 AND THOSE WILL EXPIRE THIS SUMMER. SO THAT'S WHY WE ASKED FOR THE 5000, AND THAT'S ABOUT, I THINK IT'S OVER $2 MILLION THAT WE COULD LIKELY RECEIVE.

I'LL KNOW PROBABLY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THAT'S A PRETTY BIG NUMBER, AND I'M REACHING BACK HERE JUST THINKING THAT ONE TIME THERE WAS A, I DON'T KNOW, PROGRAM OR METHOD WHERE WE WERE HELPING STUDENTS WHO HAD TROUBLE GETTING INTERNET AT HOME.

ARE WE STILL DOING THAT? AND ARE WE KEEPING UP WITH THOSE DEVICES? I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THE STATEWIDE PROGRAM FOR BROADBAND IN THE HOMES.

WE HAVEN'T ADOPTED THAT BECAUSE THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR FAMILIES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE NO INTERNET IS REALLY FAIRLY LOW, BUT WE DO HAVE THE MIFI DEVICES THAT THEY CAN CHECK OUT AND THOSE WE STILL HAVE, AND I THINK WE HAVE 150 STILL THAT WE COULD CHECK OUT AND WE KEEP ABOUT 50.

SO WE'RE NOT EVEN CHECKING ALL OF THOSE OUT.

NOW, GRANTED, THOSE DEVICES FILTER ONLY INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES.

SO IF YOU'RE TRYING TO JUST WATCH NETFLIX AND THAT'S NOT REALLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY WANT.

SO THEY DON'T ALWAYS TAKE A DEVICE BECAUSE IT IS RESTRICTED TO INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES.

OKAY, THAT'S FINE.

THANK YOU. THANKS, MR. MCMANUS. MRS. OROSCO.

THANK YOU. YOU ANSWERED A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS ALREADY, BUT I JUST WANTED SOME MORE QUESTIONS ON THE HOTSPOTS.

YOU SAID THERE'S 150.

SO ARE THOSE ALLOCATED TO CAMPUSES OR IS IT HAVE TO BE CHECKED OUT THROUGH THE DISTRICT? HOW DOES THAT WORK? WELL, WE ALLOCATE SOME OF THE CAMPUSES FOR MCKINNEY VENTO.

SO THOSE ARE ON THE CAMPUSES FOR THE STUDENTS TO GO TO THE LIBRARY.

IF THE STUDENT HAS DESIGNATED BACK IN COVID WHEN THEY SAID WE DON'T HAVE INTERNET, THEN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, THE HELP DESK KIND OF FACILITATED THAT, AND SO WE STILL HAVE SOME AND STUDENTS OR PARENTS AND OR THE CAMPUS WILL CALL THE HELP DESK AND SAY, I NEED A DEVICE BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT CHANGES.

SOMETIMES YOU'RE INTERNET GETS DISCONNECTED, YOU DON'T NEED IT FULL TIME, AND SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A MATTER OF POOR SERVICE.

NOW WHAT WE'RE FINDING FOR THOSE THAT JUST LIVE IN BAD COVERAGE AREA, THE MIFI DOESN'T WORK AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S CELLULAR, BUT YES, SO IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS KNOW THAT HOTSPOTS ARE AVAILABLE.

YOU KNOW, THE STUDENTS KNOW.

YES. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I GIVE THAT INFORMATION OUT WHEN SOMEBODY ASKS ME BECAUSE I GET THOSE QUESTIONS AT THE CLOSED CLOSET AND SUCH AND I ALWAYS REFER THEM BACK TO THEIR CAMPUS LIBRARIAN.

YES, THAT'S THE BEST PLACE TO START.

WOULD BE THE CAMPUS LIBRARIAN.

ALSO WONDERFUL.

YOU ALSO HAD TALKED ABOUT INSURANCE, RIGHT? GETTING INSURANCE FOR THESE CHROMEBOOKS OR WHATEVER IS CHECKED OUT.

I KNOW THAT WAS LIKE ON OUR PORTAL THAT WE HAD TO CHECK, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN INSURANCE? SO I KNOW I DIDN'T PAY ANYTHING FOR INSURANCE.

SO DID THAT WORK? YOU KNOW, I COULD GIVE YOU A REPORT.

WE DO HAVE THE NUMBERS.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE PARTICIPATED, BUT WE'VE HAD PARENTS THAT HAVE FILED A CLAIM AND HAD THEIR REPAIRS COVERED OR IF IT WAS LOST, STOLEN, DAMAGED, WHERE WE KIND OF GET INTO THE GRAY AREAS, THE INTENTIONAL DAMAGE, BUT WE DO AND I DON'T WANT TO JUST THROW A NUMBER OUT THERE, BUT I DO HAVE IT OF HOW MANY PEOPLE PARTICIPATED.

I WANTED INSURANCE, BUT NOBODY EVER CHARGED ME FOR INSURANCE.

[03:05:03]

IT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU TO [INAUDIBLE] TO A SEPARATE PAGE, WHICH IS OUR DISTRICT WIDE, WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN ONLINE PAYMENT AND IT GOES INTO A [INAUDIBLE] ACCOUNT, AND THEN DARLA PETERS AND THE HELP DESK MANAGES THAT.

SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

SO JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT OKAY TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I MEAN, I KNOW I CHECKED AND I KNOW MANY PARENTS CHECKED THAT BOX AND WE NEVER GOT CHARGED AND IT DIDN'T TAKE US ANYWHERE. SO THAT'D BE GREAT.

OKAY. SO YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LICENSES BEING UNDER TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEN WE HEARD C&I SAY LICENSES ARE UNDER THEM.

SO TELL ME THAT DIFFERENCE.

WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION? WHAT'S UNDER YOU AND WHAT'S UNDERSTANDING? IF IT IS TOTALLY INSTRUCTIONAL IN NATURE--I WAS GOING TO SAY INSTRUCTIONAL-RELATED--THEN IT FALLS UNDER C&I.

WE COVER THINGS LIKE MAINTENANCE ON THE DATA EQUIPMENT, MICROSOFT ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT, WHICH IS FOR EVERY STUDENT, EVERY CAMPUS, THE FILTERING FOR LIGHT SPEED, THINGS THAT TOUCH EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS WHERE IT MAY BE IN A CAMPUS AS IF THEY JUST WANT AND I ALWAYS USE READER WRAP IT WE DON'T USE THAT ANYMORE, BUT IF THEY JUST WANTED YEAH ONE SPECIFIC SOFTWARE THEN THEY WOULD COVER IT.

IF A DEPARTMENT NEEDS ADOBE LICENSE, THEY NEED FIVE, THE DEPARTMENT WOULD COVER IT.

SO THAT'S WHERE IT PICKS UP ON THOSE.

WE COVER THE BIG PICTURE TOTAL, ALL CAMPUSES.

EVEN [INAUDIBLE] AND TEAMS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.

OKAY, GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE TEAM ON TECHNOLOGY? MR. SEVERANCE? I WAS GOING TO BE REALLY SAD IF YOU DIDN'T ASK ME.

[CHUCKLING] WELL, NO, BECAUSE MY KIDDO WAS LIKE LITERALLY THE HOT SECOND LAST TO TURN HIS BOOK IN AT SCHOOL, AND I WAS LIKE, I WAS LIKE, BRYSON, IF YOU DON'T TURN THAT IN, LIKE, WHAT'S IT GOING TO COST US? IF A KIDDO DOESN'T TURN IT IN, HOW MUCH DO WE CHARGE? DO WE ADD IT TO THE KID'S ACCOUNT? ABSOLUTELY. HOW MUCH IS THAT? FOR A CHROMEBOOK? IT'S ABOUT $232.50.

AND HOW MANY BILLS DID WE SEND OUT? I MEAN, HOW MANY DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK? WELL, $230,000 WORTH OF THEM.

DID WE COLLECT THAT MONEY.

DID WE GET THAT? WELL, NO, WE HAVEN'T YET.

WE'RE WORKING ON IT, AND THE CAMPUSES THEN FOLLOW UP, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING IN THIS UPCOMING WEEK, IS HOW DO WE GET THAT NUMBER DOWN BECAUSE THAT CAN'T BE SUSTAINABLE. AND HOW MUCH WAS THAT INSURANCE OPPORTUNITY? IT WAS $30, I THINK, AND 15 FOR FREE AND REDUCED.

AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU THINK BOUGHT INSURANCE? YOU KNOW, I CAN TELL YOU IF YOU'LL GIVE ME JUST A MINUTE.

THAT'S OKAY, I'M JUST CURIOUS. I MEAN, YOU JUST OFFERED $5 PER PAD THAT YOU HAVE OUT, PROBABLY MORE ACCEPTABLE, AND THEN YOU PROBABLY COULD COLLECT THAN 10% I'D SAY BOUGHT IT.

NOW, WE ALSO GAVE THEM THE OPTION TO BUY THE INSURANCE AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED, JUST TO KIND OF GET THEM AWARE OF THE PROGRAM AND SAY, OH, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.

IF YOU GIVE US $30, WE'LL COVER THE, BUT WE DID MAKE ENOUGH ACTUALLY.

I THINK IN MY LAST REPORT, WE HAD ENOUGH MONEY IN THE INSURANCE COUNT.

WE STILL HAD MONEY IN THERE AFTER DOING THE REPAIRS, BUT IT DOESN'T COVER THE ONES THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ONES THAT JUST WEREN'T COMING BACK, THAT JUST.

YEAH. WELL, I MEAN, I REMEMBER LIKE BEING ON THE FBOC AND IT SEEMED LIKE EVERY TIME THE TECHNOLOGY CAME TO THE BOND, IT WAS LIKE, WE'LL JUST DO A LITTLE BIT, WHATEVER, AND THEN COVID HAPPENED AND THEN YOU GOT WHATEVER YOU NEEDED, AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GOING FORWARD, YOU HAVE ALL THAT YOU NEED TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING THAT WE DID, ESPECIALLY LIKE WITH THE REPLACEMENT DEVICES THAT WILL LAST ABOUT LIKE WE HAD WE HAVE REPLACEMENT BUDGET MONEY AND JUST ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO CONTINUE DELIVERING TECHNOLOGY AT LIGHT SPEED FOR THE DISTRICT.

THERE YOU GO. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, AND I WILL SAY ALSO THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CHROMEBOOK REPLACEMENT IS MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THAN THE DESKTOP REPLACEMENT, AND WE ARE SEEING OUR DESKTOP NUMBERS GO DOWN AND THE CAMPUSES ARE ASKING MORE FOR THE MOBILE DEVICES.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING.

IT'S JUST A TRANSITION THAT TAKES A LITTLE TIME BECAUSE THEN WE HAVE TO UPGRADE OUR WIRELESS TO SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, TWICE THE NUMBER OF DEVICES ON A CAMPUS.

IF YOU GIVE A [INAUDIBLE].

I MEAN, THAT'S JUST NEVER GOING TO STOP, SO.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? MISS BORRESON, I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP IT NOT BEING SUSTAINABLE.

SO FOR NEXT YEAR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAYBE REQUIRE INSURANCE FOR THE FOLKS, MAYBE WE HAVE SOME SLIDING SCALE OF THAT, BUT I THINK TRUSTING CHILDREN TO TURN IN THEIR TECHNOLOGY OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT.

ARE WE HOLDING GRADES, ARE WE HOLDING TRANSCRIPTS? LIKE WHAT ARE WE DOING TO INCENTIVIZE THEM TO BRING JUST LIKE A LIBRARY BOOK FOR $12?

[03:10:04]

SO TELL ME WE'RE DOING THAT FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY.

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO STANDARDIZE ACROSS THE DISTRICT SO THAT EVERY CAMPUS HAS THE SAME PROCEDURES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING THE SAME THING EVERYWHERE, AND SOME CAMPUSES HAVE FEWER LOSSES.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON.

GREAT. I'M GOING TO TRUST YOU TO HAVE A PLAN BECAUSE $230,000 HIT ON OUR BUDGET IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SUSTAINABLE, AND SO AND ALSO HIRING PEOPLE TO BE COLLECTION AGENTS FOR THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT IS ALSO NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO BE IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TIME AND YOUR DEPARTMENT HAS PLENTY TO DO OUTSIDE OF COLLECTION OF DEVICES.

OKAY, SO WE LEARNED SOME LESSONS, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME CHANGES MOVING FORWARD.

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT, AND I ALSO TO DR.

PEREZ-GONZALES, I ALSO HEAR AND HAVE ISSUES WITH THE PHONES WORKING.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO BETTER ABOUT TELLING YOU WHEN THAT HAPPENS OR THAT THE WI-FI NOT WORKING ON THE PHONES OR WHATEVER.

I THINK THERE'S JUST POCKETS OF IT.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I HEAR THAT, TOO, AT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES, I THINK HAVE MORE ISSUES THAN OTHERS.

I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER IF ANYONE HAS A WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY, TELL THEM TO SUBMIT A WORK ORDER BECAUSE WE CAN'T ADDRESS IT IF WE DON'T KNOW IT EXIST.

OKAY, AWESOME.

I USUALLY JUST THINK IT'S USER ERROR BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS ON IT, BUT I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER TO TELL YOU.

OKAY. NEXT UP, THIS IS OUR GENERAL ADMIN BUDGET TEAM.

THIS INCLUDES THE BOARD'S BUDGET, CORRECT, MR. RANDY? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

SO THESE ARE THE OPERATING BUDGETS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE, HR AND FINANCE.

PRETTY MUCH YOUR BIG TICKET ITEMS ARE GOING TO BE YOUR LEGAL SERVICES, AUDIT SERVICES.

IT DOES INCLUDE SCHOOL BOARDS.

THE BUDGET WE HAVE SET UP FOR TRAINING AND WHATNOT.

OKAY, GREAT. QUESTIONS ON THIS BUDGET ITEM TEAM.

I'LL START OVER HERE ON MY LEFT.

I'LL COME BACK IF I NEED TO.

ON MY RIGHT. MRS. OROSCO. DR.

WRIGHT, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ON THIS.

I KNOW THAT I SUBMITTED THIS QUESTION TO DR.

MEDINA ABOUT THE DISTRICT INITIATIVE FOR INCLUDING BACHELOR AND MASTER DEGREE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TEACHERS AND PARAPROFESSIONALS.

HOW MANY SLOTS ARE WE GOING TO HAVE? WHEN ARE WE FULLY PROMOTING IT? I KNOW I'VE HEARD FROM SOME PARAS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN DOING IT AND WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT A WHILE BACK, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A DONE DEAL WE'RE DOING IT, BUT TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

SO WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT THE DETAILS.

REGION 13 IS THE BROKER BETWEEN LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, AND ORIGINALLY BECAUSE IT WAS OUR IDEA, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE THE ONLY PILOT SCHOOL AND THEN LIKE FOUR OTHER SCHOOLS WERE INCLUDED BECAUSE THEY HEARD ABOUT IT AND THEY WANT IT TO BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

SO IT TOOK US FROM BEING LIKE THE SOLE PILOT TO HAVING TO SHARE AND PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS , AND SO NOW WE HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN THE NUMBER OF SLOTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.

AND SO, I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS GOING TO BE TRUE.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF SLOTS.

THAT HADN'T BEEN FINALIZED YET, AND I KNOW DR.

MEDINA AND I THINK TIM ROBINSON IS OUR POINT PERSON ON IT NOW, AND WE'LL GET YOU THAT INFORMATION AS SOON AS THEY LET US KNOW.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ALSO IDENTIFYING OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE IN OUR CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CLASSES THAT WANT TO BE FUTURE TEACHERS.

THEY WANT TO INCLUDE SOME KIDS IN THAT PARTICULAR PILOT AS WELL AS EXISTING PARAS, AND SO WE WILL LET YOU KNOW, BUT I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE MAYBE TEN STUDENTS, TEN PAIRS FOR THE FIRST YEAR AND THEN THEY MAY INCREASE MOVING FORWARD, AND WHAT I TOLD DR.

MEDINA IS IF WE DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY ADVERTISE, WE MAY JUST CREATE OUR OWN AND BYPASS THEM AND DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL FIND THAT TYPE OF TUITION DEAL THAT WE WOULD FIND ANYWHERE ELSE, BECAUSE IT IS A REALLY, REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

WE JUST NEED FOR THEM TO EXPAND THAT OPPORTUNITY EVEN GREATER.

IN A PREVIOUS DISTRICT I WORKED IN, WE NEGOTIATED OUR OWN DEAL OUTSIDE OF THE SERVICE CENTER AND WE GOT VERY LOW TUITION PRICES.

SO WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY CAN OFFER UP.

WE'LL USE USE THEIRS TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN AND THEN FROM THERE WE MAY ADD OUR ON OR WE MAY SEE IF THEY'LL EXPAND IT MOVING FORWARD.

[03:15:05]

WE'VE TOLD THE INTERESTED PARTIES TO CONTACT TIM ROBINSON AND HE'S BEEN TAKING THEIR NAMES, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE THAT WANT TO GO INTO OUR OUR SHORTAGE AREAS FIRST, AND SO WE'RE PRIORITIZING THOSE , AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE'LL TRY TO GET TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED. SO IS THERE LIKE A RUBRIC TO GET ACCEPTED? LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY ALL TURN THEIR APPLICATIONS.

I'M JUST THINKING BECAUSE WE HAVE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, I MEAN, NOT JUST HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, HAYS CISD GRADUATES THAT ARE PARAS THAT WANT TO DO THIS, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, IF YOU WILL.

I THINK WE'RE STILL DEVELOPING JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SPOTS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, BUT THEY'RE ALSO SUPPOSED TO HELP US WITH THAT CRITERIA . AWESOME AND SOME THAT WERE IN STUDENT ADVISORY.

SO THAT SHOULD BE LIKE THREE EXTRA POINTS.

PERFECT, THANK YOU. I'LL REFER THEM TO TIM ROBINSON.

ALL RIGHT, GREAT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? MR. SEVERANCE. WHERE WAS THE PONY BUDGET BEFORE? IT GOT MOVED INTO THIS.

WHERE DID IT LIVE BEFORE? IT WAS UNDER TRANSPORTATION.

OKAY, AND WHY DID WE DECIDE TO MOVE IT FROM TRANSPORTATION TO GENERAL? IF YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT THIS, I APOLOGIZE; I'M JUST CURIOUS.

IT GETS BACK TO TRYING TO GET THINGS INTO THE CATEGORIES THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN, AND PONY WAS NOT CONSIDERED TRANSPORTATION AS KIND OF WHEN I WAS SPEAKING EARLIER ABOUT IT.

TRANSPORTATION SHOULD REFLECT PICKING A STUDENT UP FROM HOME TO SCHOOL AND SCHOOL TO HOME , AND THE PONY IS ACTUALLY A SERVICE THAT THE DISTRICT PROVIDES THAT KIND OF FALLS UNDER MY OFFICE INTEROFFICE MAIL AND PICKUP AND DELIVERY, BUT NOT LIKE ALL CAMPUSES--THEY SERVE ALL CAMPUSES, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE IN THE ALL CAMPUS BUDGET? NO, IT'S UNDER THE FINANCE OFFICE BUDGET.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE.

ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE MOVING ON TO PAGE 28 DISTRICT WIDE PROPOSED BUDGET.

THIS DISTRICT WIDE BUDGET IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND ITEMS THE COPIERS, THE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE, THE COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT FEES, THE LITTLE THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE FOR ARMORED CAR SERVICE AND TEACHER FELLOWS.

THE COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT THERE WHERE YOU SEE THE 64%.

THAT'S A MISTITLE; THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, THE INSURANCE AND THE ARMORED CAR SERVICE.

THEY'RE JUST ALL IN ONE COST CATEGORY.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE IT THAT WAY.

ALL RIGHT, GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT CLARIFICATION, MR. RAU. ANY QUESTIONS OVER HERE ON MY LEFT FOR THE DISTRICT WIDE PROPOSED BUDGET? ALL RIGHT. ON MY RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. WE ARE MOVING ON TO THE LAST SLIDE, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE WANT TO RELY ON THIS, GIVEN ALL OF OUR SUGGESTED CHANGES.

SO THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT IN TIME FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO, MAYBE.

MR. RAU, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW OF THIS SLIDE AND JUST LET US KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME EDITS.

SO KIND OF WHAT YOU SEE TOWARDS THE LEFT IS OUR BEGINNING AND PROPOSED ENDING FUND BALANCE.

OUR TOTAL REVENUE RIGHT NOW THAT WE WENT OVER LAST WEEK COMES TO 213 MILLION.

ALL THESE EXPENDITURES COME TO 224 PUTS US AT A DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT 10.9 MILLION.

WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ABOUT 6 MILLION TO FUND BALANCE.

A LOT OF THAT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON WHETHER WE RECEIVE HOLD HARMLESS IN THE FIFTH AND SIXTH WEEKS.

WE FEEL THAT THE COMMISSIONER IS GOING TO RULE THAT WAY.

DR. WRIGHT CAN JUMP IN HERE ANY TIME, BUT KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THEY HAVEN'T MADE THE RULING SO FAR BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORKED ON GETTING THOSE KIDS INTO SCHOOL, AND SO OUR FIRST THROUGH FOURTH SIX WEEKS HOLD HARMLESS WAS 95% ATTENDANCE WHEN IN ACTUALITY WE WERE HOVERING AROUND 90.

[03:20:01]

OUR FIFTH AND SIXTH SIX WEEKS, I THINK WE WERE AVERAGING AROUND 91.

SO IF WE GET HOLD HARMLESS ON THAT, THAT WOULD BRING US UP TO THE 90 TO 95% ALSO.

SO THAT'S WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WILL HAPPEN IF LIKE [INAUDIBLE] IS SAYING SOME SOME OF THESE ITEMS, IF WE COME BACK, THE EXPENDITURES GET INCREASED, THAT DEFICIT WILL INCREASE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I DID DO IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM LINE HERE, WE HAVE THE 25% BUDGET REQUIREMENT THAT'S SET IN OUR BOARD POLICY.

SO THAT 25% IS OF THE EXPENDITURE BUDGET.

SO OF THAT, THAT 224 MILLION, 25% MEANS WE SHOULD HAVE IN RESERVE IN OUR FUND BALANCE AT LEAST $56,111,812. SO IF THESE WERE THE NUMBERS THAT WE WENT WITH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF JUNE, WE WOULD PROPOSE WOULD HAVE A PROPOSED ENDING FUND BALANCE OF ABOUT 66.8 MILLION WITH A 25% BUDGET REQUIREMENT OF 56.1 MILLION.

OKAY. SO IF I'M DOING MY MATH RIGHT, WE'RE LOOKING AT A DEFICIT BUDGET RIGHT NOW OF AROUND 4.9 MILLION.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

NOW, THAT'S BEFORE WE ADD ALL THE MILLIONS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE SAID WE WANT TO ADD.

SO MAYBE THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN CUT.

WE DON'T KNOW. WE'LL TRY.

YEAH, AND LIKE I WAS TELLING DR.

WRIGHT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE THE FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE AND TO GIVE THE RAISE THAT WE HAVE, BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLUFF IN HERE.

AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING I JUST KIND OF WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE.

ALEX AND I HAVE COME UP WITH SOME THINGS THAT WE'LL BE DOING ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO MONITOR THE BUDGET, BUT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, IF WE SEE THE NEED, WE MAY HAVE TO COME TO THE BOARD AND ASK FOR A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO COVER SOME OF THE ITEMS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TRY WITH EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT WORK WITHIN THE PARAMETERS THAT WE HAVE HERE. WELL, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOR ABOUT THAT, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT A 7% FOR OUR EMPLOYEES , AND SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE LAST TWO BUDGET MEETINGS WE KNOW ARE ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT.

4.9. DEFICIT BUDGET IS A LOT TO SWALLOW.

SO WE'LL HOPE THAT YOU'LL SHARPEN YOUR PENCIL AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLUFF ALREADY.

THERE'S NOT A LOT TO CUT ALREADY.

I KNOW DR. WRIGHT HAS SOME WORDS AS WELL ABOUT THE SLIDE, SO I'LL PASS IT TO HIM.

YEAH, AND JUST REMEMBER, WE'VE ADOPTED A DEFICIT BUDGET THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THEN WE PUT MONEY BACK IN FUND BALANCE BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR BUDGET, THIS NUMBER IS GOING TO BE MORE REAL.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLUFF IN THIS ONE.

HOWEVER, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MR. RAU AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN ASK FOR A SOFT HOLD OF LIKE THE LAST 10% OF OUR CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS AND ONCE YOU GET TO THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, BE MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A $4.9 MILLION DEFICIT BUDGET AND WE CAN MAKE UP FOR THE DIFFERENCE BY THAT SOFT HOLD, AND SO ANY UNNECESSARY EXPENDITURES IN THAT LAST 10%, WE CAN HOLD ON UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL, AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN BALANCE IT OUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, AND SO WE KNOW THAT GOING INTO THIS AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT, AND SO IF AND WHEN THIS GETS APPROVED, WE'LL MEET WITH OUR BUDGET MANAGERS AND WE'LL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM AND BASICALLY TELL THEM WE'RE NOT CUTTING YOUR BUDGET BY 10% TO GET BALANCED, BUT WE ARE GOING TO PUT A SOFT HOLD ON IT.

SO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AND TRY TO SAVE THAT 10% SO THAT WE CAN BE BALANCED, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO GIVE GOOD COST OF LIVING INCREASES MOVING FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE, KNOWING THAT IT'S REALLY IN FLUX AT THIS POINT.

ALL RIGHT. DID YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, WELL, I'M GOING TO ASK DR.

WRIGHT TO CLOSE OUT WITH KIND OF SOME SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE AWESOME THINGS THAT THIS BOARD HAS DONE.

YEAH, SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY APPROVED.

YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT BEING EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY AND WE KNOW THAT WE'RE IN THE PEOPLE BUSINESS, AND THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN PEOPLE IS TO GIVE THEM A LIVING WAGE AND BE REALLY COMPETITIVE, AND I THINK BASED ON THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE'RE SEEING COME IN, THAT'S PROVING

[03:25:05]

SO THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY VOTED ON THAT HAVE REALLY HELPED US OUT IN RETAINING PEOPLE AND RECRUITING PEOPLE IS THE 7% COST OF LIVING INCREASE AS FAR AS TRANSPORTATION IS CONCERNED, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW THAT BEARS OUT, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE VOTED TO INCREASE THAT SALARY TO $20.

THAT'S STARTING PAY, AND THEN WE WE WE SPREAD THAT OUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE DIFFERENT STEPS SO THAT EVERYBODY IS GETTING REWARDED BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE, AND THEN WE GUARANTEED FOR TRANSPORTATION 8 HOURS FOR BUS DRIVERS, 6 HOURS FOR MONITORS, AND THEN THE STARTING PAY FOR ALL OF OUR AUXILIARY EMPLOYEES IS NOW AROUND $15 PER HOUR BASED ON THAT 7% COST OF LIVING INCREASE.

SO THAT PUTS US VERY COMPETITIVE, AND I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING SO GIVEN THE INCREASE IN FUEL FUEL PRICES FOR EVERYBODY AND JUST THE COST OF LIVING AND THEN THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT MOVING FORWARD THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING BACK TO YOU FOR PROBABLY FUTURE ADDS ON TO THE BUDGET GIVEN YOUR COLLECTIVE APPROVAL, IS THE LIST THAT JERRY IS GOING TO BRING TO YOU FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.

WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MAINTENANCE ITEMS THAT SHE'S GOING TO WANT TO ADD AS FAR AS HARDENING THE CAMPUSES, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME PERSONNEL ASK FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY, AND WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR SOME EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON THE TASB MODEL, AND THEN WE KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN CHARGED WITH INCREASING THE SPED STIPEND, AND SO THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE BUDGET THAT WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO THAT DEFICIT MAY INCREASE A BIT.

SO WE MAY HAVE TO INCREASE THE SOFT HOLD A LITTLE BIT, RANDY, BUT I THINK WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND THEN WE CAN BE FRUGAL AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED AND THEN HOPEFULLY GET TO A BALANCED BUDGET TOWARD THE END.

NO PRESSURE, RANDY.

YOU ALWAYS WORK IT OUT SOMEHOW, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU WILL AGAIN, AND THANK YOU AND ALEX FOR ALL YOUR WORK.

YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, RANDY'S OFFICE IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM MY RESTAURANT, AND SO EVERY TIME I GO THROUGH, I STOP IN AND CHECK ON RANDY AND ALEX AND WHOEVER ELSE IS CIRCULATING AND GETTING ALL THESE ALL THESE NUMBERS AND I KNOW I WAS SCARE THEM TO DEATH EVERY TIME I GO DOWN THERE BECAUSE I'M LIKE, HEY, CAN WE ADD THIS OR CAN WE ADD THIS? ANYWAY, HE DOES A GOOD JOB WITH THAT.

SO JUST THANK YOU AND THANK YOU BOARD FOR ASKING SUCH GREAT QUESTIONS AND, AND FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE WE WILL GET YOU ADDITIONAL ANSWERS AND INFORMATION, AND THEN ON THE 20TH, WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT ALL THESE ITEMS, AND IN THE BETWEEN TIME, AS SOON AS WE GET THE INFORMATION, WE'LL PROVIDE IT TO YOU, AND THEN WE'LL ADD THE SAFETY COORDINATOR'S POSITION ON JUNE THE 20TH, AND KEEP IN MIND, I HOPE THAT DIDN'T COME ACROSS AS BAD OR NEGATIVE ON ANYBODY.

IT WASN'T INTENDED TO.

WE JUST WANT TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, AND THERE WAS A LITTLE MIX UP, BUT WE HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING.

WE CAN GO AHEAD AND POST THE POSITION AND THEN THE NEW BUDGET DOESN'T KICK IN UNTIL JULY 1 ANYWAY.

SO WE HAVEN'T LOST ANY TRACTION ON ANYTHING, AND SO WE'LL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL , AND SO WE'LL CLEAN THAT UP, AND THEN LOOKING AT LIKE THE AP IV.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE PROMOTIONAL INCREASE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY IS ANYBODY THAT GETS A PROMOTION SHOULD SEE AN INCREASE IN THEIR DAILY RATE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NOT A PROMOTION IF YOU LOSE MONEY AND SO WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF.

SO WE HAD LOTS OF GOOD CONVERSATIONS TODAY AND YOU GUYS ALL POINTED.

SO I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED, AND SO LOTS OF GREAT ADDITIONS AND GREAT WINS, AND SO I APPRECIATE YOU AS A BOARD FOR BEING EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY AND TAKING CARE OF OUR PEOPLE AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE EMPLOY BEST PRACTICES.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR.

RAU. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THIS TEAM.

I THINK WE'VE DONE A LOT OF HARD WORK ON THESE TWO DAYS OF BUDGET WORKSHOP.

WE'RE NOT DONE. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT IT'S A REALLY GREAT START AND VERY GOOD QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PAPERS THAT WE'VE HAD TO SWIM THROUGH.

WE MAY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS LEADING UP TO THAT JUNE 20TH AS THOSE START TO ROLL IN.

SO WE APPRECIATE THE ADMINISTRATION'S TIME AND EFFORTS IN ADDRESSING ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS.

ANY FINAL THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE WRAP UP? MRS. OROSCO. DR.

WRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THAT SUMMARY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDE THE BILINGUAL THAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE BILINGUAL ADMINISTRATORS AND ALSO THE RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT

[03:30:03]

THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY MADE MYSELF A NOTE AND THEN I FORGOT TO SAY IT.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT.

YES, 1500 FOR BILINGUAL RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.

ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY, BEFORE WE GO, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE MARTIN GARCIA A SHOUT OUT.

PERFECT. SO HE'S GOING TO BE WITH US IN TRAINING.
