THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MOVED TO ADOPT THE ORDER AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF HAYS CISD, UNLIMITED TAX SCHOOL BUILDING BONDS AND CONTAINING OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO, WHICH IS BEFORE THE BOARD THIS EVENING MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS. SECONDED BY DR.
PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE ARE BACK TO N TWO.
[N.2. Consideration and possible adoption of local policy update to DEC (LOCAL) - Payment of local leave days for non-retirement separation from Hays CISD]
THIS IS OUR LOCAL POLICY UPDATE TO DEC LOCAL.I APPRECIATE MS. OROSCO REQUESTING SOME INFORMATION REGARDING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR US.
WE TALKED ABOUT 60 DAYS AND JUST TO REMIND FOLKS, THESE ARE LOCAL DAYS THAT UPON SEPARATION FROM THE DISTRICT OUTSIDE OF RETIREMENT, EMPLOYEES LEAVING OUR DISTRICT WOULD HAVE SOME PAY OUT OF THOSE LOCAL DAYS IF THEY FIT THE PARAMETERS OF THIS NEW UPDATED POLICY.
DR. MEDINA. I JUST NEEDED SOME CLARIFICATION.
I'LL LET YOU COME UP TO THE MIC REAL QUICK.
I THINK MISS PETREA ALLUDED TO THIS, THAT WE CURRENTLY HAD IN PLACE 60 DAYS THAT WE WERE DOING, AND THEN SOMEHOW THAT GOT MESSED UP BY THE NEW POLICY WE ADOPTED.
IS THAT CORRECT? YES, IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
[00:10:02]
AND SO THAT'S WHY THE NEW POLICY REFLECTED FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES ONLY.HERE WE GO. YES. IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES ONLY.BY WHO? AND THEN ACTUALLY, WHEN I WAS WORKING WITH THIS POLICY WITH THE FORMER BOARD MEMBER.
JUST A MINUTE, BECAUSE WE CAN'T HEAR.
[LAUGHTER] YEAH, I WAS WORKING AND THEN I WAS ALSO WORKING WITH DR.
WRIGHT AS WELL AND TRUSTEE KELLER ON THIS POLICY.
AND IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS COMMUNICATED.
IT WAS ONLY FOR IT WAS INTENDED FOR RETIREES ONLY.
AND SO THAT'S WHY THE LANGUAGE CHANGED FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
BUT I MEAN, WE THE BOARD ADOPTED NEW POLICY AND WE MESSED UP SOMETHING WE HAD IN PLACE.
IT WAS OUR FAULT FOR DOING THAT.
SO I JUST. I HAD MADE A SUGGESTION OF USING THIS AS.
A BENEFIT, RIGHT? IF YOU STAYED TO THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU GET ALL 60 DAYS AND IF YOU DON'T STAY ALL TO THE END OF THE YEAR, MAYBE DECREASING THAT TO 45 DAYS. DO YOU THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD WORK OR DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AND IT WOULDN'T REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT? I TRY TO ASK TRUSTEE OROSCO IN TERMS OF WHERE THE 60 EVEN CAME FROM, AND THERE WAS NO WE COULDN'T FIND.
DR. MEDINA IT'S REALLY HARD TO HEAR YOU.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN TURN THE MIC UP, IT COULD BE ME AND MY VOICE.
AND IT'S REALLY WELL, LET ME LET ME STOP YOU THERE.
IT ACTUALLY WAS NOT EXPLICITLY SPELLED OUT IN THE POLICY.
60 DAYS WAS NOT IN THERE WITH THE LOCAL DAYS.
IT WAS JUST A PRACTICE THAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE ADDED LANGUAGE THAT TALKED ABOUT WHEN YOU SEPARATE DUE TO RETIREMENT AND THAT'S WHAT TRIGGERED THE CHANGE. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING EXPLICIT TALKING ABOUT LOCAL DAYS.
THAT'S WHY I SET OUT TO TRY TO FURTHER DEFINE THIS.
SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IT WAS A PRACTICE THAT WE WERE DOING THE 60 DAYS, BUT IT WASN'T EXPLICIT THAT WE WERE GIVING PEOPLE 60 DAYS OF LOCAL DAYS. CORRECT? AND I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS EXPLICITLY STATED IN THERE.
MR. SEDILLO IS COMING TO THE MICROPHONE.
SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE FEBRUARY MEETING AND WHAT WE CHANGED AND WHAT WE ADDED LANGUAGE AND THE LANGUAGE THAT WE ADDED SPELLED OUT IF YOU LEAVE BECAUSE OF RETIREMENT.
AND THAT ADDING THAT LANGUAGE IS WHAT TOOK AWAY THE LOCAL DAYS.
WE DIDN'T CROSS ANYTHING OUT, WHICH IS WHY WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE HAD UNINTENTIONALLY DONE THIS.
SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THAT WAS WHAT HOW I READ HOW WHAT WE DID.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO YELL. I THINK.
SO GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, PRESIDENT PETREA AND DR.
WRIGHT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DC LOCAL HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED, SO THEREFORE WE HAD DC LOCAL, DC LOCAL IN PLACE AS POLICY.
AND THEN WHAT WE ADDED WHEN I CAME ON BOARD WAS THE EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY INCENTIVE FOR RETIREMENT THAT COVERED THE LEAVE BUYBACK AND THE SERVICE.
ONE WAS MEANT TO BE A PRACTICE, MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE THAT REALLY HELPED WHEN FOLKS WERE APPLYING FOR EARLY RETIREMENT OR AT LEAST RETIREMENT AFTER HAVING SERVED IN THE DISTRICT FOR FIVE, TEN, 15, 20 YEARS PLUS.
AND SO WE HAD NOT TOUCHED THE DEC LOCAL.
AND SO THEREFORE YOU HAD A POLICY IN A PRACTICE THAT DIDN'T NECESSARILY ALIGN AND ONE WAS MEANT FOR RETIREMENT, WHERE THE OTHER ONE WAS MEANT FOR ANYONE WHO RESIGNED FROM THE DISTRICT WOULD GET THAT INCENTIVE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, DR. WRIGHT. AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, TOO, THAT THE WHY OF THIS WAS WE WANT OUR TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM, AND IT'S BETTER THAN HAVING A SUBSTITUTE IN THERE. AND SO JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A HISTORICAL VANTAGE, WE WERE REALLY WANTING TO MAKE THIS INTO JUST AN INCENTIVE UPON RETIREMENT.
AND WE REALLY DIDN'T INTEND TO TOUCH WHAT WE HAD IN PLACE.
BUT FOR SOME REASON, WE DIDN'T DISCUSS IT AND IT GOT STRICKEN.
[00:15:08]
HELPS US SOLVE THAT ISSUE.SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
AND I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE DIDN'T STRIKE IT.
THAT IS A CLARIFICATION I NEEDED.
SO IT WASN'T THE BOARD WHO DID A STRIKE THROUGH AND SAID, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS AWAY? IT WAS JUST AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE.
I MEAN, WE DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO BE TAKEN OUT.
IT JUST WAS. AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT BY PUTTING IT BACK.
OKAY. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I WANTED TO.
THERE WAS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION I WANTED TO MAKE.
IT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU DID CLARIFY MS. PETREA, THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.
OKAY. SO RIGHT NOW THE POLICY SAYS 60 DAYS.
AND ARE WE READY TO VOTE ON THE 60 DAYS OR WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO MOVE BACK TO THIS PAPER.
MRS. OROSCO? SO, DR. WRIGHT, I WOULD LIKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE 60 DAYS.
YES, MA'AM. BECAUSE TO OUR INTENDED OUTCOME, WE WANT OUR TEACHERS TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM.
SAID SOMETHING ABOUT MATCHING THAT THEY HAD TO MATCH UP IN ORDER.
TO GET THAT, I'LL DEFER TO DR.
MEDINA ON THAT ONE. THAT IS CORRECT.
TRUSTEE OROSCO. AND THAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAS THE PRACTICE THAT YOU WOULD THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE STATE DAYS THAT HAD TO MATCH THE SAME NUMBER OF LOCAL DAYS, AND THAT'S HOW MUCH WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR PAY.
SO THEY HAD TO BE EVEN, RIGHT.
SO EXAMPLE, YOU CAN HAVE 100 STATE DAYS AND 50 LOCAL.
THAT MEANT THAT ONLY 50 OF THOSE MATCHED AND YOU WOULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR 50.
SO IF WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK THAT TO MAKE SURE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THERE WAS LIKE TWO THAT STOOD OUT THAT WITH PAYROLL AND PAYROLL RAN THAT FOR US AND I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IT.
BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GO BACK AND CHECK.
TRUST BUT VERIFY IS OUR MOTTO HERE.
AND THIS IS INTENDED TO CORRECT OUR MISTAKE AND THIS WILL BE RETROACTIVE.
THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. I APPRECIATE THAT.
THANK YOU, MS. PETREA, FOR BRINGING THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF ADMINISTRATION WITH MS. KELLER AS WELL. THANKS.
YES. AND WE KNEW THERE MAY BE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
WE WANT TO KNOW, WE WANT TO HEAR, WE WANT TO FIX IT.
MEDINA, FOR MAKING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.
OKAY. SO ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS NOT AN IMPACT.
RIGHT. WHERE IS THAT IN OUR CURRENT? THAT IS, THAT WAS THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS ADDED.
SO ON 57 OF THE BOARD BOOK THE LANGUAGE, THE NUMBER FOR ALL WORK AND OR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS THROUGH THE LAST DAY OF INSTRUCTION. IT IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD.
I'M FINE WITH NOT HAVING IT THERE.
WELL, AS A FORMER TEACHER, CAN YOU EXPOUND ON WHAT THAT MEANS IN PRACTICE? JUST YOU WOULD GET IT.
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY LEAVING MIDYEAR AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, I'M GOING TO COLLECT MY DATES AND I COLLECT THAT MONEY ANYWAYS, SO I DON'T NEED TO HAVE IT IN THERE ANYMORE NOW THAT I'VE HAD A MORE THOROUGH EXPLANATION.
SO I'M FINE WITH NOT PUTTING THAT IN THERE.
OKAY. MRS. RUNKLE AND THEN DR.
JUST PERSONALLY, I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT.
I DON'T SEE ANY HARM IN NOT HAVING IT IN HERE.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE OTHER TEACHER ON THE BOARD AS WELL TOO.
WELL, I'M JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE FOLKS DON'T LEAVE AT MIDYEAR AND WOULD PREFER FOR THEM TO STAY UNLESS THEY'RE GOING TO RETIRE MID-YEAR. AND THIS WOULD BE NOT ONLY EDUCATORS, BUT IT WOULD BE ANYONE IN OTHER POSITIONS AS WELL.
SO THIS EXTENDS BEYOND TEACHERS.
IT COULD BE ONE OF OUR CHILD NUTRITION PEOPLE IN CHILD NUTRITION.
[00:20:11]
SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THEY CAN'T TAKE A BUNCH OF TIME TOWARD THE END AND NOT KIND OF I MEAN, WHAT I DON'T WANT IS FOR THIS TO BE A MOVING GOAL POST THAT THEIR SUPERVISOR SAYS, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS AND YOU HAVE TO CREATE A MANUAL FOR YOUR JOB AND THEN YOU HAVE TO DO THIS.AND WHAT I WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE IN THIS LANGUAGE WAS THAT ALL OF US ARE EMPLOYED UNDER CERTAIN WORK CALENDARS, AND I KNOW THAT MY OBLIGATION IS TILL JUNE 16TH, 18TH, WHATEVER THAT IS, THAT I'M GOING TO FINISH MY WORK CALENDAR IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS.
RIGHT. BUT THE WORDING SAYS, AND OR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.
SO IS THAT JUST DAYS? YES, IT'S LIKE I SAID, EVERYONE HAS A WORK CALENDAR THAT YOU ARE EMPLOYED UNDER.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MRS. OROSCO, I DEFINITELY WANT TO STRIKE OUT NUMBER FOUR, THEN JUST.
IT WORKED. SO I WOULD LIKE TO STRIKE NUMBER FOUR NOW.
OKAY, MRS. RUNKLE. AND THEN DR.
PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ, THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING IT THAT WAY.
I'M OKAY WITH STRIKING IT AS WELL.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TOUCH OUR BASES.
I ALWAYS LIKE MORE INFORMATION THAN NOT, BUT I TOTALLY SEE WHERE THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM.
THEY'RE ADDING STUFF TO US, AND I DON'T WANT TO GIVE SOMEONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
THANK YOU. TRUSTEE OROSCO FOR CLARIFYING.
BECAUSE YOU JUST BROUGHT SOMETHING TO MIND AS FAR AS WHAT IF SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, EMERGENCY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AS FAR AS RETIREMENT? WELL, THAT'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU ENSURING THAT YOU CLARIFY THAT.
AND I'M GOOD WITH STRIKING THAT AS WELL.
ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION TO REVISE POLICY DEC LOCAL TO INCLUDE PAYMENT OF LOCAL LEAVE DAYS FOR NON RETIREMENT SEPARATION FROM THE DISTRICT AS DISCUSSED.
MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MRS. RUNKLE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO DR.
MEDINA AND OUR HR TEAM FOR THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.
I THINK PEOPLE THAT LEAVE OUR DISTRICT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY AND I WANT THEM TO COME BACK ALL RIGHT.
AND HAVE A GOOD TASTE IN THEIR MOUTH WHEN THEY LEAVE.
ANY OPPOSED, MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
OKAY. WE ARE UP TO IN FOUR AT THIS POINT.
[N.4. Consideration and possible approval of the purchase of large kitchen equipment for the Child Nutrition Department from Amundsen]
AND THIS IS ON PAGE 105 OF YOUR AGENDA PACKET, YOUR NEW ONE.ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS OUR CHILD NUTRITION ITEM FOR LARGE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MOVED TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF LARGE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT FROM.
[INADUDIBLE] ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS? AMUNDSON THANK YOU.
IN THE AMOUNT OF $826,956.97 AS PRESENTED MOVED BY MR. VELA, SECONDED BY MRS. RUNKLE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO IN FIVE.
[N.5. Consideration and possible approval of the construction contract with Alpha Building Corporation for a Kiln Room at Science Hall Elementary School]
THIS IS ABOUT OUR KILN ROOM AT SCIENCE HALL ELEMENTARY.ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CLEAVER, FOR THE INFORMATION THAT YOU DID PROVIDE.
WE DID HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD, AND THAT WAS SUPER HELPFUL.
[00:25:03]
$73,246 PLUS CONTINGENCY FOR A CONSTRUCTION COST NOT TO EXCEED $76,908 AND ARCHITECT FEES FROM O'CONNELL ROBERTSON FOR A LOCAL TOTAL PROJECT NOT TO PROJECT COSTS, NOT TO EXCEED $82,036 AS PRESENTED MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, MOTION CARRY SEVEN ZERO.I WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF THAT.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY COOL THING.
OKAY. NEXT STEP, WE HAVE SOME MULTI PASSENGER VEHICLES ON PAGE 109.
[N.6. Consideration and possible approval of the purchase of two multi-passenger vehicles from Gunn Auto Group]
I DO HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THIS.I ASKED ABOUT THE CT ALLOTMENT.
CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION AS TO HOW THAT WORKS AND WHY THIS MIGHT BE GOING UNDER GENERAL FUND AND NOT THE SEAT ALLOTMENT? IS THAT, MR. RAU? YOU NEED TO GET WARMED UP ANYWAY.
THE ZTE ALLOTMENT IS PART OF OUR FOUNDATION PROGRAM, WHICH IS IT'S PART OF THE GENERAL FUND.
SO IT'S IN THE GENERAL FUND, BUT IT'S THE ALLOTMENT THE WEIGHTED ALLOTMENT THAT WE GET.
WELL, AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME OBLIGATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND OUR CTE ALLOTMENT BY A CERTAIN DATE.
SO I WAS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT IS THAT WHAT THE TIMING ON THESE? IS THAT WHAT IT'S FOR? IT IS HITTING THE CTE ALLOTMENT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME? YES.
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, I THINK IT'S 55% OF THAT ALLOTMENT DIRECTLY TOWARDS CTE EXPENDITURE.
RIGHT. SO THIS IS HELPING US MEET THAT GOAL.
OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION ON.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, LET'S SUGGESTTED MOTION IS THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF TWO MULTI PASSENGER VEHICLES FROM GUN AUTO GROUP FOR A TOTAL COST OF $102,730, AS PRESENTED.
MOVED BY MRS RUNKLE, SECONDED BY DR.
PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
CAN WE NOT DO THIS UNDER OUR FLEET ARRANGEMENT? GOOD EVENING. YES, WE COULD, BUT I TALKED TO SUZY AND BECAUSE UNDER THE FLEET ARRANGEMENT, ALL THE MAINTENANCE IS INCLUDED.
SHE WOULD PREFER TO BUY THEM BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THEY.
PART OF THE CURRICULUM IS THEY MAINTAIN THOSE VEHICLES THEMSELVES.
AND SO THAT WAS THE REASON THEY'D LIKE TO DO IT THAT WAY.
PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT EXPLANATION, MR. VELA. YEAH.
SORRY. I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING AS WELL.
THANKS TO MS. PETREA'S QUESTION.
SO THE LEASE OF THESE TWO VEHICLES, IT IS AN EQUITABLE, LIKE ALL OF OUR CTE CAMPUSES AND CLASSES ARE ALL COVERED WITH ENOUGH VEHICLES, I THINK BETWEEN THE SUBURBANS AND THEN THEY OCCASIONALLY USE THE MICRO BUSSES.
I THINK THEY'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO BEING COVERED.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND.
AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
[N.7. Consideration and possible approval of a construction contract with Cabling and Wireless Solutions of Central Texas for Scoreboard Wiring at Shelton Stadium]

MOVED BY MR. MCMAHON AND SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MR. CLEAVER, I SUBMITTED SOME QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ELSE WE MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT.
SO YOU HAVE THE QUESTIONS FROM BEFORE? JUST ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS THAT COULD COME UP.
[00:30:02]
SO I JUST.I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM, YOU KNOW, SINCE I ALREADY GOT THEM.
I'M GLAD WE'RE THINKING AHEAD FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD COME UP.
ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, MOTION, CARRY. SEVEN ZERO.
[N.8. Consideration and possible approval of an electrical utility easement to Pedernales Electric Cooperative at the Hays CISD Beacon Hill Operations Facility]
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A UTILITY EASEMENT FOR TO PEDERNALES ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE AT THE HAYS CISD AND BEACON HILL OPERATIONS FACILITY.ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? MR. SEVERANCE.
THIS HAS BEEN A FEW YEARS ON THE FBO.
THIS ISN'T GOING TO INTERFERE WITH A FUTURE THAT EASEMENT, IS IT GOING TO INTERFERE WITH A FUTURE? WHATEVER YOU MIGHT NEED TO DO OUT THERE TO DOWN THE ROAD? NO, SIR. THESE ARE ALL POLL LIGHTS.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. I THINK ITS GOING TO BE AN OKAY LOCATION.

[N.9. Consideration and possible approval of the schematic design for the 2022 Bond Project: Elementary School 16 (Negley Relief School), designed by Huckabee Architects, as presented]
PAGE 117.WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS ITEM, WHICH IS THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN OF THE NEGLEY RELIEF SCHOOL.
HUCKERBY ARCHITECTS PRESENTED THIS LAST WEEK.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM, MR. SEVERANCE? MR. CLEAVER, YOU'RE UP.
MAX.[INAUDIDIBLE] I'D LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE FPOC'S PRESENTATION AND WHAT OPINIONS AND WHAT FEEDBACK THEY HAD REGARDING THIS ITEM WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED LAST WEEK.
OKAY. YES, SIR. THEY UNANIMOUSLY AGREED WITH THE PROCESS THAT WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, IN THE ABSENCE OF HAVING THE BUDGET, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
THEY SAID, WE UNDERSTAND, WE DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE IT.
WE'D LIKE THE WHOLE SCHOOL AS WE AGREED TO AS WELL.
WE'D LIKE THE WHOLE SCHOOL, BUT UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED THE CONCEPT AND THE WHY BEHIND IT.
SO THAT'S. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR.
WAS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT MORE OF THE VALUE ENGINEERING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN TO GET TO THAT, NUMBER BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW NOW OR WHAT'S THE NEXT STEPS IN THAT WHOLE PROCESS? THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS IS TO GO TO BID.
WE'RE GOING TO BID AT 50% CDS.
AND WE LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE ABOUT 4.4 MILLION IN DESIGN, CONTINGENCY AND INFLATION.
AND SO BETWEEN ALL THOSE THINGS, WE THINK WE'RE IN STRIKING DISTANCE TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL VALUE ENGINEERING, BECAUSE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS WE COULD MAKE A CHEAPER FOUNDATION, BUT THAT IS NOT WHERE WE WANT TO GO, YOU KNOW, THAT IS NOT THAT'S KIND OF THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO.
AND SO AS FAR AS THE VALUE ENGINEERING GOES, WE'VE PRETTY MUCH WRUNG IT ALL OUT.
I MEAN, WE THINK WE'RE THERE ON THE VALUE ENGINEERING.
YES, SIR. AND LIKE I SAID, EVERYONE WANTS THE FULL SCHOOL AND WE AND WE DO, TOO.
THE THINGS WE PULLED OUT, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T TOUCH THE SIZE OF THE CLASSROOMS. AND I THINK THAT WAS EVERYONE WAS KIND OF ON PINS AND NEEDLES ABOUT THAT.
WE DIDN'T TOUCH THE SIZE OF THE CLASSROOM.
SO IT TOOK SOME VOLUME OUT OF THE SCHOOL, POSSIBLY LOWERING SOME CEILINGS.
THAT'S RIGHT. FINISHES WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE TILE OR PLASTIC LAMINATE WOULD NOW BE PAINT, EPOXY PAINT JUST BUT NOTHING, NOTHING THAT WOULD TAKE IT OUT OF THE ACTUAL CLASSROOM. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR. MCMANUS JUST QUICKLY WANT TO SAY, MAX, THANKS YOU AND HUCKERBY FOR WORKING SO HARD ON THAT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.
NO, SIR. NOTHING GOING TO BE COMPROMISED.
WE'RE GOING TO NOW THE EXTERIOR DOOR FRAMES.
[00:35:08]
ALL IT IS. BUT YOU HAVE TO PREP IT AHEAD OF TIME.SO SO NO, WE'RE NOT CUTTING ANY CORNERS.
IN A MATTER OF FACT, WE'RE GOING TO GO ADDITIONAL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S ALL.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION AS SAFETY AND SECURITY.
WITH THIS BEING A NEW BUILD, THAT'D BE GREAT.
IT'S REALLY NOTHING DIFFERENCE.
IT'S ALL THE SAME STUFF AND THE SAME STUFF WE DO AT THE OTHER CAMPUSES.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALREADY ANSWERED, BUT WE'LL GET THEM TO YOU.
AND I'VE BEEN ASKED TO HAVE YOU GUYS TALK CLOSER TO YOUR MICROPHONES, JUST SO I DON'T FORGET.
OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MRS. OROSCO? I'M SORRY, MR. CLEAVER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY.
YOU SAID KEYLESS ENTRY FOR THE EXTERIOR, BUT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THE INTERIOR DOORS WITH KEYLESS.
WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT DOING EVERY DOOR.
WE'RE JUST DOING THE KEYLESS ENTRY ON THE EXTERIOR DOORS.
AND I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.
TO DO, LIKE THE BADGE SWIPE TO GET IN EVERY DOOR.
IS THAT WHAT REQUIRES A LOT OF ELECTRICITY? IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A LOT OF ELECTRICITY AT ALL.
IT JUST REQUIRES THE WIRING AND THE DOOR FRAME.
I MEAN, I AM NOT DEFINITELY AN EXPERT ON DOOR BADGE SWIPY THINGS, BUT THE THINGS WE HAVE OUTSIDE OF OUR DOORS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE TO MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THOSE ON THE CLASSROOM DOORS.
[INAUDIBLE] YEAH, ESPECIALLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SMART TAGS FOR THE KIDS.
AND I MEAN, YOU COULD TAKE ATTENDANCE THAT WAY.
YOU CAN. I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD MAKE SENSE, BUT IF I FEEL LIKE MR. MCMANUS SAYS THE COST IS EXORBITANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT RETROACTIVELY.
SO TO PREP THAT IN ADVANCE, I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S THE KIND OF PREP WORK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING NOW FOR THE INTERIOR DOORS OR SOMETHING? I WASN'T THAT'S TO ME A VERY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION, WHICH IS ALSO HELPFUL IF SOMETHING'S BEEN LEFT OPEN FOR, YOU KNOW, 10 MINUTES AFTER THE BELLS RING.
I'M ALL ABOUT HEARING A NOISE OR A ALERT OR SOMETHING.
MS. OROSCO? I JUST WANTED TO FINISH ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKING SURE IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO JERI THAT YOU DO TALK TO HER ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING VERY SPECIFIC THAT WE DISCUSSED AS A SAFETY MEASURE.
SO MAKING SURE WE DO IT EARLY FOR BECAUSE RETROFITTING.
YES, MA'AM. WELL, WE'VE BEEN HEARING THAT ELECTRIC GRID TECHNOLOGY, I MEAN, LIKE THE HARDWARE BEHIND SORT OF THE ELECTRICITY STUFF IS HARD TO FIND RIGHT NOW AND ALL OF THAT. SO TO GET AHEAD OF THAT AND I AM NOT A CONSTRUCTION PERSON, CLEARLY THE WAY I'M TALKING WITH MY WORDS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT I THINK EVENTUALLY THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL IS TO GET TO THAT. AND I KNOW WE'RE IN A VERY, VERY CHALLENGING CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT, BUT WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO PREP FOR THAT WOULD BE SUPER GREAT.
MRS. RUNKLE, YOU HAD SOMETHING? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE IN SYNC WITH WHAT WE HAD HEARD FROM JERI AND WHAT HER GOALS MOVING FORWARD WERE.
AND THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR.
ABSOLUTELY. AND I KNOW WE DID GET CONFIRMATION LAST WEEK THAT JERI IS INVOLVED EARLY AND OFTEN IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. CLEAVER AND HUCKABEE, WHICH I KNOW WE ALL APPRECIATE.
ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE ENHANCED SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE 2022 BOND PROJECT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE NEGLEY RELIEF SCHOOL, DESIGNED BY HUCKABEE ARCHITECTS AS PRESENTED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
[00:40:02]
NEXT UP. THANK YOU. MR. CLEAVER IS OUR CALENDAR TEAM.[N.10. Consideration and possible approval of the Hays CISD 2022-2023 Board Meeting Calendar]
YOU'VE HAD A MINUTE TO SEE THIS AND LOOK AT ALL THE DATES ON THIS CALENDAR.I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF WE HAVE ANY ISSUES THAT WE TALK ABOUT THEM NOW.
I SAW MRS. RUNKLE'S HAND FIRST AND THEN I'LL GO TO MR. SEVERANCE. MR. RUNKLE, I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES.
I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF WE DOES A WORKSHOP MEETING GETS ADDED TO THIS CALENDAR? SO A BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING.
BUDGET WORKSHOP. AH, I'M SORRY.
TEAM BUILDING? OUR TEAM BUILDING. SO THAT HAPPENS IN AUGUST.
THAT'S NOT ONE OF OUR. THAT'S NOT OUR REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE.
AND THAT KIND OF HAPPENS SPECIAL MEETING.
WE DON'T HAVE ALL OUR LIKE I TALKED TO DR.
WRIGHT ABOUT DO WE WANT TO JUST GO AHEAD AND CALENDAR OUT OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AND WE DECIDED FOR NOW TO JUST KEEP IT JUST OUR REGULAR WORKSHOP AND VOTING MEETINGS AS OPPOSED TO THE SPECIAL MEETINGS.
AND DR. WRIGHT. AND MS. GLORIA AND MS. KLAERNER ARE ALREADY LOOKING AT THEIR CALENDAR FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF AUGUST FOR THAT SPECIAL MEETING TO DO OUR TEAM BUILDING AND GOAL SETTING.
AND YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT.
MR. SEVERANCE? SO EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST MEETING OF AUGUST 22ND ON MY CALENDAR THAT MY WIFE MANAGES.
FOR ME,[LAUGHTER] IT SAYS THAT I'VE GOT NEW STUDENT COLLEGE MOVE IN DAY.
SO THAT WHICH DAY IS IT? AUGUST 22ND.
SO THAT MIGHT JUST BE A PLACEHOLDER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NOT THAT YOU'LL NEED MY BUSINESS, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME DAYS THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE ACTUAL DAY, BUT WE JUST PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR. SO I WOULD HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT.
BUT THAT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE FOR ME FOR THAT ONE DAY.
AND A LOT OF TIMES IT'S A WEEK.
I MEAN, WHEN I DID MY COLLEGE KID MOVE IN, THEY JUST GAVE US THIS WEEK WINDOW.
AND THEN AT SOME POINT YOU GET YOUR ACTUAL DAY TO MOVE IN.
BUT IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CONFLICTS OR WE NEED TO MOVE IT, WE CAN TALK ABOUT MOVING IT.
MS. RUNKLE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, I JUST LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND THAT IS THE START DATE OF COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
BUT WE HAVE, LIKE YOU SAID, A WEEK OF AHEAD OF TIME OF MOVE IN.
SO WE SHOULD I SHOULD BE GOOD.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE, MISS OROZCO? AND JUST A REMINDER, IT'S AN INFORMATIONAL WORKSHOP, SO YOU STILL HAVE THE ACTION ONE TO BE HERE FOR, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS STREAM IT LIVE AS IT'S GOING ON AND YOU'RE MOVING FURNITURE AND EVERYTHING.
ALL RIGHT, TEAM. WE DID HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT MARCH BEING ONLY ONE MEETING MONTH AND WITH SPRING BREAK AND THE MEETING IN FEBRUARY BEING KIND OF LATE, IT'S NOT.
IT'S NOT IDEAL, BUT IT'S WHAT WE LANDED ON AND WHAT I'VE TOLD THE ADMINISTRATION IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THAT MARCH MEETING, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT FEBRUARY OR PUSHING SOMETHING TO APRIL TO NOT HAVE A MEETING UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON THAT MARCH 27.
SO I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THAT WILL BE THE CASE.
MRS. OROSCO? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH GETTING INFORMATION IN A TIMELY MANNER.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DIGEST THAT.
AND NOVEMBER SHOWS US THAT IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT.
THEN WE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING FOR MARCH.
SO BASED ON WHAT OCCURS FROM HERE, MOVING FORWARD, ON RECEIVING THE INFORMATION IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE CAN DEFINITELY ADD SOMETHING IF WE NEED TO.
RIGHT. DR. WRIGHT? YES. AND I THINK I THINK MY CHIEFS ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE.
OR WE CAN ADD FOUR MORE MEETINGS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE CALENDAR? ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE 2022 2023 HAYS CISD BOARD MEETING CALENDAR AS PRESENTED.
MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED?
[00:45:01]
MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.WELL, THAT CONCLUDES OUR ACTION ITEMS FOR TONIGHT.
NEXT UP, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT D.C.
[O.1. Consideration and possible action to temporarily suspend a portion of policy DC (LOCAL) from June 29, 2022 through August 22, 2022]
LOCAL. WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THIS ITEM TO VOTE ON IT TOMORROW NIGHT.WE DID MAKE A CHANGE TO START THAT SUSPENSION OF D.C.
DR. WRIGHT, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT IT? YES. IT'S LOOKING LIKE WE PERHAPS CAN MOVE THAT AUGUST DATE UP AND HAVE A CLOSED SESSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR TEAM BUILDING AND GOAL SETTING, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN AUGUST, MAYBE THE FIRST WEEK DEPENDING ON [INAUDIBLE] AVAILABILITY.
SO THAT WILL PROBABLY DECREASE SOMEWHAT AND NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE 22ND.
SO, DR. WRIGHT, WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE SUSPENDING IT UNTIL JULY 31ST? OR WOULD YOU AUGUST 6TH? IS THERE ANOTHER DATE THAT YOU'D FEEL COMFORTABLE AT THIS POINT SAYING? DO WE HAVE WE GOTTEN ANY FEEDBACK FROM TASBY IN THEIR TRAINER AS TO WHAT? [INUDIDBLE] WELL, SO. NO, WE'RE WAITING ON OUR DATES FIRST, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE CABINET IS AVAILABLE SINCE THEY HAVE A PART IN THIS.
SO. BUT YEAH, NO. FOR NOW I WOULD SAY I'D BE COMFORTABLE WITH JULY 31ST.
OK ARE THERE 31 DAYS IN JULY? YEP. YES. OKAY.
YEAH. I'LL GET WITH MISS GLORIA ABOUT THOSE DATES AGAIN.
BUT FIRST STEP WAS TO GET WITH YOUR TEAM.
THEN I'LL GET WITH MY OUR TEAM AND THEN.
WELL, SEE ABOUT OUR TASBY FRIENDS.
SO I LIKE THE 31ST, MR. OROSCO? I'M SORRY. I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS ANSWER ABOUT WHAT POSITIONS DO WE SEE HAPPENING BETWEEN JUNE 29TH AND JULY 31ST IN HIRING? THAT'S WHY I SAID I THINK I MISSED IT SO.
OH, HERE IT IS. NOW I SEE IT.DO WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT TO REFLECT A FRIDAY AND NOT A SUNDAY ? JULY 29TH? YEAH, JULY 29TH IS A FRIDAY.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL POSITIONS AND THE DIRECTOR OF STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES.
WHEN DO YOU ENTER? ARE YOU INTERVIEWING ALREADY FOR THAT? OR AND THE OTHER OPTION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THROW OUT THERE AND I REMEMBER THIS FROM FROM MS. KELLER AND I AGREE WITH HER ANY TIME THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT ARE IN CAHOOTS AND WE COME UP WITH THE SAME AFFIRMATION FOR A CANDIDATE.
BUT I'M NOT OPPOSED TO BARBARA AND I HAVING A LUNCH MEETING WITH YOU GUYS IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY, WE FEED YOU, LUNCH YOU, AND THEN WE PRESENT THE CANDIDATES TO YOU AT THAT TIME.
IF Y'ALL ARE WILLING TO DO THAT.
AND WE ALL TOTALLY SCRATCH THIS AND WE CAN PULL IT AND NOT DISCUSS IT FURTHER.
YEAH, OKAY, MS. RUNKLE, I'LL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE.
WE COULD ALSO LOOK AT MORNING AND DO BREAKFAST TACOS TOO, THAT WORKS.
ABSOLUTELY. MR. SAVOY LIKES TO BE HERE AT 7:30 A.M.
WE CAN DO THAT. MRS. OROSCO NO, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, HAVING A BREAKFAST SO PEOPLE WHO WORK IN AND OUT OF THIS AREA CAN GO TO WORK AFTERWARDS AND IT WILL BE A SHORT MEETING.
SO I LOVE HOW YOU'RE THINKING.
DR. RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND OFFERING SOMETHING UP AND MAKING SURE WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY HORSES GOING AROUND ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW? IT'S AWESOME. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO.
YEAH. JULY IS A LITTLE BANANAS FOR ME, BUT WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.
AND A MORNING WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME.
AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SUPER EARLY, BUT.
[00:50:03]
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE HEARING, TEAM? OKAY. WE'LL MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE AT LEAST FOUR OF US? GREAT. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH RANDY RAU ON OUR BUDGET.TEAM YOU HAVE A HARD COPY IN YOUR FOLDER.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PAPERS, SO I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND THAT PAPER.
WE ALSO HAD IT POSTED ON BOARD BLOG, AN UPDATED VERSION.
MR. RAU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING THAT DOCUMENT AND GETTING THAT AROUND TO US.
[INAUDIBLE]. THAT WAS YOUR TABLE TAKING UP TWO TABLES NOW.
ALL RIGHT, SO, TEAM, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
IT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE MANY CHANGES WE'VE MADE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
WE'VE MADE SOME GOOD HEADWAY AND AMAZING WORK AND JUST REMIND THE [INAUDIDLE].
DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO TALK ABOUT COMPENSATION FIRST AND THEN BUDGET? [INAUDIBLE] I THINK SO, TOO. AND FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S MEETING, I THINK I SWITCHED THEM.
BUT FOR TONIGHT, FOR SOME REASON, I DIDN'T SWITCH THEM.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT COMPENSATION FIRST.
[O.3. Consideration and possible approval of the Hays CISD Compensation Plan for the 2022-2023 School Year]
LET'S DO THAT. SO THAT IS 03.DR. MEDINA IS UP FOR THIS ITEM.
SO, TEAM, YOU HAVE A REVISED VERSION OF THE COMPENSATION PLAN.
JUST WHEN YOU FOUND THE BUDGET, I SWITCHED IT UP.
NOW YOU HAVE TO FIND THIS PAPER.
DR. MEDINA WILL COME TO THE MIC, AND I KNOW WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM.
I'LL OPEN IT UP ON MY LEFT FIRST.
ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS OVER HERE ON MY LEFT, MR. VELA? PERFECT. NOPE.
HE DOES NOT HAVE QUESTIONS. ANYBODY OVER HERE? MRS. OROSCO.
THANK YOU. DR. WRIGHT. I KNOW I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO DR.
WRIGHT IN REGARDS TO THE MASTER'S DEGREE.
WE HAVE ISSUED A $1,500, WHAT LOOKED LIKE A STIPEND, BUT IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A STIPEND.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT IT IS ROLLED INTO THE SALARY.
WRIGHT, I KNOW WE HAD A CONVERSATION.
DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT? OH, AND PREFACE THIS, THAT IT HAS NOT CHANGED IN LIKE 20 PLUS YEARS SINCE I WAS A TEACHER WITH THE MASTERS.
THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT I RECEIVED WAS 1500.
SO THAT IS LIKE BACK IN THE DAY.
SO I KNEW THAT HAD NOT CHANGED.
WRIGHT, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT? YES, BE HAPPY TO.
SO THE THE MASTER'S DEGREE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT IS ROLLED INTO THE TEACHER PAY SCALE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE. AND SO IT'S ACTUALLY PART OF THE TOTAL.
AND SO THE 7% FROM THE MID-POINT INCREASE ACTUALLY INCLUDES THAT 1500.
SO DEPENDING ON WHICH LEVEL THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE IS ON, IT COULD BE MORE THAN 1500.
SO WHAT I TALK TO MS. OROSCO ABOUT IT IS WE WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY AS WELL TO SEE WHAT THE COMPETING DISTRICTS ARE DOING THIS COMING YEAR AND AND SEE WHERE WE FALL BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THE 1500 AMOUNT FOR OVER A DECADE, MAYBE EVEN LONGER.
AND SO WE ARE PLANNING ON TAKING A LOOK AT THAT.
BUT I WANTED EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT JUST AS EASY AS A STIPEND WHERE YOU CAN JUST ADD 200 TO THAT OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE IT IS FACTORED AND CALCULATED PER INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THEIR STEP.
AND SO IT COULD BE MORE OR LESS THAN 1500 BECAUSE OF WHERE THAT MIDPOINT INCREASE COMES.
SO WE ARE PLANNING ON TAKING A LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHERE WE FALL.
AND THEN THAT IS JUST AGGREGATED INTO THAT TOTAL.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS CLEAR.
IT'S NOT A STIPEND, IT'S PART OF THE SALARY.
THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT, FOR CLEARING THAT UP, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE A STIPEND, RIGHT? PLUS $1,500.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT WAS REFERRED TO BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I STARTED RECEIVING IT.
IT WAS REFERRED TO AS A STIPEND.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE KNOW IT HAS.
BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO INCREASING THAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WE CAN DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT OR SO ON.
AND I THINK I ASKED THIS ABOUT THE NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT IT WOULD IMPACT TO CHANGE THAT TO $2,000.
RIGHT. TO INCREASE IT FROM THAT PLUS 1500 DOLLARS TO 2000.
SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS IN THE FALL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MS. ROSCOE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OVER HERE? MRS? DID YOU RAISE YOUR HAND? AND I ALREADY SAID YOUR NAME.
MR. SEVERANCE. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
OKAY. SO I JUST HAVE A PROCEDURAL QUESTION ABOUT THIS PROCESS.
[00:55:03]
SO NEXT, I KNOW WE RUN THE COMP PLAN AND THE BUDGET IN PARALLEL, BUT IS IT POSSIBLE FOR NEXT YEAR THAT WE DO THE COMP SIDE OF THIS PROCESS EARLIER LIKE APRIL AND MAY? SO WE CAN GET AHEAD OF IT SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE I'M STRUGGLING WITH THE PROCESS MAINLY BECAUSE I'M NEW AND I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM AN OUTSIDER, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE TALK ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT THE COMP PLAN, BUT WE DON'T LOOK AT BUDGETS SPECIFICALLY WITHIN DEPARTMENTS AS REGARDS TO PAYROLL.AND I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO YOU, MR. MEDINA. I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO MR. RANDY ABOUT THIS.
SO I JUST WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO START TALKING ABOUT COMP PLAN AND PEOPLE SOONER THAN WHEN WE GET TO THE BUDGET, BECAUSE THE BUDGET THAT'S PRESENTED TO US NOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING OTHER THAN PAYROLL.
THANK YOU. I WELCOME THAT OPPORTUNITY.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT STRATEGY PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE WE START TO RECRUIT IN THE MID SPRING AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE DELAY THAT PROCESS IT INHIBITS OUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN ANY INCREASES.
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE LIMITATIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET IN TERMS OF WHAT THE STATE IS DOING AND PROJECTIONS IN TERMS OF REVENUES, WHICH MAKES IT CHALLENGING.
BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY CHUNK IT AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
YES, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FINAL CALCULATIONS FOR OUR BUDGET.
SO OFTENTIMES YOU'LL SEE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS SHOOT A LITTLE BIT LOW.
AND SO LIKE WHEN WE ANNOUNCED OUR 7%, MOST DISTRICTS AROUND US HAD ALREADY ANNOUNCED THEIR 2% OR THEIR 3%, AND THEN THEY HAD TO COME BACK AND UPDATE THEIRS. SO YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT PATTERN HAPPEN, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN GET IT OUT EARLIER, BUT WE JUST WON'T HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION ON RANDY'S SIDE OF THE HOUSE AT THAT POINT.
BUT I'M FINE WITH THAT AND I KNOW HR IS FINE WITH THAT, BUT JUST KNOW THAT THAT MAY BE THE CASE.
SO IT HELPS TO DO THEM TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT.
BUT I'M CERTAINLY OPEN TO HEARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY.
SO THAT'S THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT WHEN YOU START ADDING POSITIONS OR THINKING THROUGH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO REDO, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO, WHAT THINK, WHAT CHANGES WE NEED TO DO.
AND YOU JUST DO THAT IN A VACUUM WITHOUT KNOWING THE IMPLICATIONS TO THE BUDGET CAN BE HARD.
IT CAN BE A HARD CONVERSATION TO TRY TO HAVE EARLY, BUT I DO APPRECIATE TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF IT.
I'M JUST HAPPY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS TONIGHT BEFORE THE BUDGET FOR THAT REASON, BECAUSE IT'S LIKE I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE BUDGET UNTIL THIS IS DONE, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M SAYING IT RIGHT.
LIKE SO WHEN WE, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET FROM A PAYROLL PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WE'RE NOT PRESENTED WELL, THIS DEPARTMENT HAS A BUDGET FOR PAYROLL FOR THIS.
AND THEN THEY WANT TO ADD TWO POSITIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS WHAT WE TALK ABOUT EARLIER.
YOU KNOW, EARLY RELEASE ARE JUST WHAT THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO NEED FOR THE YEAR.
SO THEN IF SIX MONTHS INTO THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO COME AND ASK FOR ANOTHER POSITION.
WELL, IS THAT IN THE BUDGET? DO YOU HAVE BUDGET TO DO THAT? I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS A BUDGET IMPACT, BUT IS IT A BUDGET IMPACT WITHIN THE BUDGET OR IS IT A BUDGET IMPACT THAT'S INCREMENTAL? LIKE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ALL THOSE CONVERSATIONS SOONER THAN I THINK THAT COULD HELP US WHEN WE GET TO THE PART ONE OF THE BUDGET AND THE PART TWO OF THE BUDGET IS THEN THE DIFFERENT.
BUT WE DO ONE FIRST AND THEN DO THE OTHER AND THEN DO THEM BOTH TOGETHER IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
MR. RAU HAS COME TO THE MIC TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE JUNE 30TH DISTRICT, IT DOES PRESENT SOME CHALLENGES.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED HERE, I CAME FROM A DISTRICT THAT WAS A SEPTEMBER THROUGH AUGUST.
[01:00:04]
SO A LOT OF THE PLANNING WITH COMPENSATION AND STUFF LIKE THAT COULD TAKE PLACE, YOU KNOW, EARLY ON.ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT SWITCHING TO A JUNE 30TH FISCAL YEAR, I REACHED OUT TO MY AUDITORS. I REACHED OUT TO TEA SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SAID TO ME WAS THAT YOU NEED TO WORK WITH YOUR BOARD AND HAVE YOUR BOARD BE ON BOARD WITH UNDERSTANDING THAT ADOPTING A JUNE BUDGET, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S A FORMALITY, BUT YOU'RE BASING IT OFF OF A LOT OF UNKNOWNS AND A LOT OF ESTIMATES.
AND SO YOU DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK BEFORE THE SCHOOL STARTS IN AUGUST AND DO BUDGET AMENDMENTS ONCE YOU GET YOUR CERTIFIED VALUES.
RYAN HAD TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WAS TRYING TO AND WE DID IT THIS YEAR AND WE DID IT LAST YEAR, WAS TRYING TO COME TO THE BOARD IN INCREMENTS. AND SO WE CAME TO THE BOARD IN MARCH WITH A REVENUE ESTIMATE.
I WORK ON A TREND ANALYSIS FOR THE ESTIMATE.
AND THEN I WORK ON THE CERTIFIED VALUES, WHICH ARE THE FINAL AMOUNTS.
AND SO TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO IN CABINET AND DR.
MEDINA CAN JUMP IN AT ANY TIME IS WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE ESTIMATES.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT DRIVES THE AMOUNT.
YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH OF A RAISE CAN WE GET? ARE WE TRYING TO STAY WITHIN OUR INCREASE, WHETHER IT'S STUDENT BASED OR NOT? AND IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, GIVEN A 7% RAISE, IT WAS THE INTENT THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A DEFICIT BUDGET AND USE OUR FUND BALANCE RESERVES.
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE SALARY PERPETUATES ITSELF YEAR OVER YEAR.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH NEXT YEAR IS THE SALARY THAT WE'RE APPROVING NOW.
THE NICE THING ABOUT OUR DISTRICT IS IT'S FAST GROWTH.
AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THAT AND THEN OUTPACE THAT GAME, SO TO SPEAK.
WE HAVE TO GO TO SEVERAL SOURCES.
THERE'S NOT, I THINK IN MY ANSWER, IN MY ATTEMPT TO ANSWER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S WE DON'T HAVE JUST A TURN KEY REPORT IN OUR POSITION CONTROL LITERALLY IN ORDER TO DO THAT.
I MEAN, LINDA CAN SPEAK TO THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT SHE AND HER STAFF HAVE TO DO.
I CAN SPEAK TO HOW LONG IT TAKES ME TO PULL THAT INFORMATION IN AND JUST TO KEEP UP WITH IT.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON THIS CONTINUOUSLY BEHIND THE SCENES.
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I THINK DR.
MEDINA AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO BRING SOMETHING EARLIER TO THE BOARD.
THE ONLY THING I JUST WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, MY BACKGROUND AS AN ACCOUNTANT.
I DIDN'T COME UP THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
I AM A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT AND I'VE WORKED IN TAX AND I'M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT THE NUMBERS.
YOU KNOW, I'M GIVING YOU MY BEST ESTIMATE.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE ALL OVER THE TIME.
PLACES THAT I'M ESTIMATE, I'M BOLDING IT.
BUT YOU KNOW, JUST WHAT THE FUND BALANCE ESTIMATE OR DOING THIS FINAL BUDGET AMENDMENT.
THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE THEY WON'T BE FINAL UNTIL JANUARY WHEN IT GETS TURNED INTO TEA.
SO FROM MY STANDPOINT AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FOLKS OVER HERE YOU KNOW AND I'M FROM CABINET.
I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO GIVE YOU EVERY ESTIMATE, EVERY NUMBER I COME UP WITH.
JUST REALIZE THAT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, IT MAY CHANGE.
AND THAT'S HOW VOLATILE SOME OF THE NUMBERS ARE.
[01:05:05]
OKAY. LAST THING I'LL SAY.AND JUST TO CLARIFY THOSE VALUATIONS, THE CERTIFIED VALUATIONS COME OUT WHEN SO EXCUSE ME.
SO THE CERTIFIED VALUATIONS COME OUT IN JULY.
THEY'RE DUE TO THE DISTRICT BY THE 25TH.
BUT THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AT LEAST I THINK IT'S 90 OR 95% OF IT CERTIFIED.
AND THE CHALLENGE IS WE THEN HAVE A SMALL WINDOW THAN TO REPORT THOSE NOW TO TEA AND SO.
YOU COME BY MY OFFICE AT THAT POINT? AND I LOVE YOU, BYRON, BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO THROW SOMETHING AT YOU [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE I'M LIKE.
I'M, LIKE, STRESSED AT THAT POINT.
I JUST WANTED TO. BECAUSE HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE SORT [INAUDIDLE].
LET ME JUST SAY LET ME SAY IT THIS WAY.
WELL, SOME POINT, DEPLOYMENT WIDGET IS GOING TO SPEAK WITH DR.
WRIGHT ABOUT THEIR NEEDS FOR ADDING PERSONNEL.
AND SO THERE'S A CRITERIA THAT IS GONE THROUGH THROUGH DR.
AND THEN THAT ONE IS WHAT'S GET PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.
WELL, I JUST WANT TO BE A PART OF THE WELL WHATS THE CRITERIA FOR ADDING PEOPLE LIKE WHAT DO WE USE TO SAY THAT A DEPARTMENT NEEDS MORE PEOPLE? THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
AND THERE'S A FORMULA THAT HAS TO BE UTILIZES FOR TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIO FOR TEACHER TO AP TEACHER TO TO COUNSELOR AND TEACHER TO CUSTODIAN, MAINTENANCE WORKER TO NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
AND WE TYPICALLY GO BY THAT AND SAME THING WHEN YOU'RE ADDING DEVICES FOR TECHNOLOGY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED SO MANY TECHNICIANS PER SO MANY TECHS FOR HVAC WHEN YOU ADD NEW ROOFTOP UNITS, THAT TYPE OF THING.
NOW THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS WHERE LIKE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT MATH SPECIALISTS OR READING SPECIALISTS THERE, ARE NO TAS B GUIDELINES FOR THAT YET.
AND SO, YOU KNOW HOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CASELOAD FOR SPECIAL ED, SAME THING.
THEY GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CASELOAD AND THEN WE CALL AND VERIFY WITH OTHER DISTRICTS AND WE MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHICAL MODEL LIKE CO TEACH OR LIKE SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAUSES OURS TO CHANGE, BUT THEN WE TRY TO MATCH IT UP AS CLOSELY AS WE CAN.
SO THE FORMULAS FOR SCHOOL ARE THE SAME FORMULAS THAT YOU USE FOR THE ADMIN, FOR THE, YOUR CABINET AND THE TEAM IS ALL FORMULA DRIVEN BASED ON ENROLLMENT.
SO LIKE FOR STUDENTS, ANYTHING PERTAINING TO STUDENTS, IT'S DRIVEN BY THAT.
IT'S BASED ON A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES.
AND THEN WE DO AN ANALYSIS TO SEE IF WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THAT PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT'S WHEN THEY BRING FORTH THAT NEW RECOMMENDATION.
THANK YOU. I JUST, I THINK WOULD LIKE NEXT YEAR TO HAVE IT BROKEN OUT THAT WAY ON A PAYROLL SIDE WHEN IT GETS LIKE THE GRAPH RANDY DOES FOR THE NON PAYROLL STUFF LIKE TO SEE THAT FOR THE PAYROLL SIDE AND ADDING PEOPLE, I THINK THAT'D BE BENEFICIAL AND I'M OUT.
THANK YOU, MRS. OROSCO? FIRST OF ALL, RANDY, WE TRUST YOUR NUMBERS.
WE WERE HERE WHEN NUMBERS JUST DID NOT MATCH UP.
RIGHT. AND THERE WAS WE HAD DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS.
AND I TOTALLY TRUST YOUR NUMBERS.
RIGHT. AS A BOARD MEMBER, ONE OF OUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES IS THE BUDGET.
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
RIGHT? SO TO US, WE'RE ASKING A MILLION QUESTIONS, HAVING A MILLION PIECES OF PAPERS ALL OVER THE PLACE, TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF OUR TOP RESPONSIBILITIES AS A BOARD MEMBER.
[01:10:10]
JANUARY AND EVEN BEFORE THAT, SETTING OUR BUDGET PRIORITIES IS SO IMPORTANT.SO THAT GIVES YOU A GUIDE TO WHAT WE WANT, AND THAT HELPS RANDY OUT.
IT HELPS OUR HR PEOPLE OUT SO WE CAN DO THAT.
AND SO I'M GLAD MR. SEVERANCE MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE WE CAN DO BUDGET PRIORITIES EARLY ON.
NOW WE HAVE DONE BEFORE WE HAVE ADDED ON OUR PERCENTAGE FOR COMPENSATION, WE APPROVED 3% AND THEN LATER ON WE ADOPTED SOME MORE.
RIGHT. AND WE LET PEOPLE KNOW, LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT 3% RIGHT NOW.
WE DO ANTICIPATE DOING MORE, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S COMING IN THE FUTURE.
BEAR WITH US. AND WE HAVE DONE THAT.
IT'S JUST SOME HISTORICAL BACKGROUND.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION WITH ZERO BASED BUDGETING THAT YOU DO WITH YOUR DEPARTMENTS, AND THAT IS MANDATORY TO BE TURNED INTO, RANDY, YOU KNOW, BY A CERTAIN DATE, MAKING SURE WE HAVE SOME OF THAT DEPARTMENT INFORMATION, RIGHT.
THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN HAVE EARLY ON.
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A [INAUDIBLE] MODEL.
HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT'S RECOMMENDED TO MEET THE STANDARDS.
AND MEETING THE STANDARDS IS GREAT.
HOWEVER, OUR DISTRICT HAS NEVER BEEN JUST ABOUT STANDARDS.
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT BEING THE LEADER IN OUR REGION AND IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, IF YOU WILL.
I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE RANKED NUMBER THREE OR FOUR TELLING US THAT.
RIGHT? BUT KNOWING THOSE BUDGET PRIORITIES GOING INTO THIS PROCESS IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE'RE ALWAYS WANT TO BE ABOVE STANDARDS AND EXCEED EXPECTATIONS.
THAT'S WHY WE CHANGE THIS DISTRICT.
AND UNDER DR. WRIGHT, WE MADE IT INTO THE EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ORGANIZATION THAT WE HAVE TODAY.
SO KEEPING THAT IN THE FOREFRONT.
RIGHT, I THINK THE PIECES THAT MAYBE CAN COME EARLIER, MAYBE NOT THE WHOLE BUDGET.
RIGHT. RANDY, I WANT TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT THAT, BUT I DO LIKE THAT IDEA OF PAYROLL IN A GRAPH SEEING THAT IS AMAZING THAT WOULD THAT VISUAL BECAUSE THIS IS AWESOME [INAUDIDBLE] BUT LOOKING AT THE COMPENSATION PIECE NOT SO MUCH WE CAN TALK ABOUT AN ANTICIPATED PERCENTAGE INCREASE, RIGHT? DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT THAT EARLY ON, BUT START TALKING ABOUT WHAT BANDS WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT, WHAT STIPENDS WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE.
THOSE ARE THINGS WE CAN TALK ABOUT EARLY ON BECAUSE SOME OF THESE THINGS WERE THROWN AT US LAST MONTH AND HAD NOT BEEN FULLY VETTED OR REALLY TALKED ABOUT AND THERE WAS OTHER DOMINOES AND ALL THESE MOVING PIECES.
SO MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.
THESE ARE THE ONES WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS.
BUT THOSE CRITICAL ONES THAT WE HAVE DONE RIGHT LOOKING AT THAT, MR. SEVERANCE, IS ALSO IMPORTANT.
BUT I THINK WE CAN GET AHEAD OF THE GAME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU DO BETTER.
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE AND MAKE IT BETTER? BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A VERY STRESSFUL BUDGET IS SUPER STRESSFUL FOR YOU.
MR. RAU WE DEPEND ON YOU 100% AND YOU DO AN AWESOME JOB.
IT IS STRESSFUL FOR US TO AS A BOARD BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S A LOT OF PIECES THAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
AND WHEN WE DON'T SEE IT AS A WHOLE, IT'S HARD TO SEE IT IN PIECES AND MAKE.
SO WHATEVER YOU ALL CAN BRING TO US, LIKE THE THINGS THAT I DISCUSSED WILL HELP US SEE THE WHOLE SYSTEM BECAUSE WE SHOULD BE ABOUT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.
BUT WE NEED TO SEE HOW IT FITS AND HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER.
SO I THINK THOSE ARE SOME IMPORTANT PIECES THAT ARE REASONABLE THAT CAN BE BROUGHT FORWARD.
NOTHING UNREASONABLE THAT WE WANT TO ASK FOR.
AND THANK YOU, MR. RAU, FOR TELLING US WHAT IS UNREASONABLE, UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT EARLY ON.
THANK YOU. THANKS, MRS. OROSCO. MR. MCMANUS.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF STARTING EARLY.
WHATEVER PROCESS I THINK YOU GUYS DEFINE THAT'S WORKABLE.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN COMFORTABLE WITH THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT TO US.
[01:15:01]
I THINK YOU'VE CLEARLY STATED TO US THIS IS AN ESTIMATE WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS FINAL.I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A BUDGET PRIORITY WORKSHOP WHERE WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THAT.
I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THAT.
SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION BEFORE ALL OF THAT STARTED, I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR A MINUTE AND I ACTUALLY DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE $1,500 FOR MASTER'S OR THE EXTRA FOR DOCTORATE WAS NOT A STIPEND.
SO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHY IT'S STRUCTURED THE WAY THAT THERE MAY BE A REALLY GOOD REASON, BUT WHY IS IT DIFFERENT THAN EVERY OTHER THING ELSE THAT WE DO? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. SO DISTRICTS WILL TAKE DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND THERE ARE DISTRICTS THAT PAY AND THE BOARD APPROVES INCREASES FOR EMPLOYEES BASED ON THEIR BASE SALARY, FOR EXAMPLE.
WHEN DISTRICTS DO THAT, THEY TEND TO HAVE A STIPEND FOR SOMETHING LIKE A MASTER'S DEGREE, BECAUSE WHEN THE SALARY WHEN THE 1500 DOLLARS, FOR EXAMPLE, IS ROLLED INTO AN EMPLOYEE'S BASE SALARY, WHEN THE BOARD APPROVES A PAY INCREASE BASED ON AN EMPLOYEE'S BASE SALARY, YOU'RE ACTUALLY INCREASING.
THE BUDGET INCREMENTALLY OVER TIME.
YOU'RE GIVING IT ON TOP OF THAT.
AND SO IT BEGINS TO COMPOUND, COMPOUND.
SO DISTRICTS WILL OPT TO SAY WE ARE GOING TO GIVE A STIPEND, BECAUSE TO AVOID THAT COMPOUNDING OF THE BUDGET, THEY KEEP THE STIPEND SEPARATE AND APART BECAUSE INCREASES DON'T OCCUR TO THE STIPEND LIKE THEY DO TO A BASE SALARY.
OUR DISTRICT IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DO BOARD APPROVED INCREASES BASED ON THE MIDPOINT.
SO YOU CAN INCREASE IT BY 2000, YOU CAN INCREASE IT BY $2,500.
BUT WHEN YOU DO A BOARD INCREASE, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON THE EMPLOYEES BASE SALARY.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE WILL KEEP IT SEPARATE.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS THAT DISTRICTS WILL DO IT DIFFERENTLY.
SO I HOPE THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING, AS WE LOOK AT WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS, IS YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS NEXT YEAR TO STUDY THAT AND MAYBE TAKING CONSIDERATION, I'M OPEN TO WHATEVER WORKS BEST, BUT IT JUST SEEMS ODD TO HAVE THESE TWO THINGS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE COMPENSATE FOR.
SO IT MIGHT JUST BE WORTH THE CONVERSATION OF SHOULD THEY BECOME STIPENDS? THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. THANK YOU.
MRS. OROSCO CAN GO TO THE LEFT IF YOU WANT TO, OK.
OKAY. SO JUST TO CLARIFY, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S RODENT.
IT'S ROLLED INTO THE SALARY AND THAT IMPACTS THE TRS PIECE.
RIGHT. SO IF WE WERE TO MAKE IT A STIPEND, THEN THAT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR TREES.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMPENSABLE THROUGH TRS.
NOW I'M OPEN TO LOOKING AT THAT.
SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.
MS. RUNKLE? YOU KNOW, MR. SEVERANCE, YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT DR.
WRIGHT ABOUT THE STAFFING BENCHMARKS, AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT BECAUSE I ASKED FOR THAT.
I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE SEEN IT SINCE MR. SEVERANCE HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD.
I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THOSE AGAIN.
BUT I ACTUALLY TALKED TO MR. MEDINA QUITE A FEW THIS WEEK.
AND SO I WELCOME THAT IN JANUARY, BUT KNOW THAT IT COULD CHANGE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND SO I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THAT AND YOU WILL LET US KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
[01:20:01]
AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT REAL COOKIE CUTTER TO WHAT [INAUDIDBLE] GOES OUT AND MARKETS.AND SO BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF POSITIONS LIKE THAT, I WOULD LIKE US TO KIND OF VENTURE OUT AND NOT JUST LOOK IN OUR DISTRICTS THAT ARE SURROUNDING US BECAUSE WE CAN'T REALLY COMPARE SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS TO THE DISTRICTS AROUND US BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS.
IS THAT POSSIBLE? YES, THAT IS POSSIBLE.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE'VE EXPLORED AND TALKED ABOUT IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE SUBSCRIBE TO [INAUDIBLE] AND WE HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR DATA SOURCE, THEIR OUT OF INDUSTRY DATA SOURCES THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD PUT INTO OUR BUDGET TO SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE DATA SOURCES THAT ARE NOT EDUCATIONAL.
AND SO THAT WAY WE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DATA.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO AS WELL.
BUT WHAT I ALSO HEAR YOU SAYING IS THAT EXPANDING BEYOND OUR PEER DISTRICTS, THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS HAVE BEEN THE DISTRICTS THAT THE BOARD HAS IDENTIFIED IN THE PAST AS HAVING AN INTEREST TO SAY THESE ARE THE DISTRICTS THAT WE WANT TO COMPARE OURSELVES TO.
WILL YOU ADDRESS THAT FOR ANYONE THAT'S LISTENING? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT THEY'RE BEING LEFT OUT.
AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THAT PIECE OF IT.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO ACROSS THE STATE NOW, BECAUSE SAFETY AND SECURITY HAS BEEN A HOT, HOT TOPIC AND AND DIFFERENT DISTRICTS ARE DOING WHAT WE DID FOUR YEARS AGO AND ADDING THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF SAFETY AND SECURITY.
AND SO WHAT I RECOMMENDED IS THAT WE GIVE OURSELF AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT THAT MARKET STUDY WITH ALL THE POSITIONS THAT ARE ADDED AND THEN BRING THAT BACK IF WE FIND THAT WE ARE BELOW MARKET.
AND THAT WAY YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE TO.
AND THEN WE WOULD JUST UTILIZE THAT IN THE FORM OF A BUDGET AMENDMENT.
BUT WE LOOKED AT THE ENROLLMENTS OF 20 OR 30,000 DR.
WRIGHT AND THAT HAS BEEN THE SCOPE OF OUR OF OUR RESEARCH.
THERE'S MUCH IT'S MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
SO IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT STUDENT ENROLLMENT TO ME.
SO I'M NOT LOOKING AT THAT AS A 20 TO 40000 STUDENT ENROLLMENT.
I'M LOOKING AT A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE.
WHERE ARE THE DEMOGRAPHICS? WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS THIS COUNTY AT? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, IT'S MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT.
SO I DON'T I PERSONALLY I'M NOT LOOKING AT JUST THAT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON SAFETY AND SECURITY.
BUT THAT'S ALL YOU GUYS HAVE SUBMITTED.
SO YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET MORE QUESTIONS TONIGHT AND IN THE MORNING.
BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR UPDATES.
BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND I WANT TO COME BACK IN AUGUST AND HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
THANKS, MS. RUNKLE MRS. OROSCO? YES.
IT'S DEFINITELY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
AND THAT'S WHY WE KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS.
VERY CAREFUL. THAT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE WHEN WE START COMPARING OUR OUTSIDE OF THE EDUCATIONAL WORLD.
SO NOBODY'S SAYING THAT WE WANT THAT.
[01:25:08]
AND I KNOW MS. RUNKLE DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT.THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING YOU THREW OUT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT.
LIKEKINDED, IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ENROLLMENT.
WE DO NEED TO SEE ENROLLMENT IS A HUGE PIECE OF THAT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, DR. WRIGHT, WE DID IT.
RUNKLE WHEN I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HER.
WE DID THIS GETTING A DIRECTOR OF SAFETY AND SECURITY BEFORE MOST PEOPLE DID.
WE WERE ONE OF THE TOP TWO OR THREE THAT STARTED DOING THAT.
SO NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION, SO WE'LL GET MORE COMPARISONS.
SO JUST KIND OF BEAR WITH IT AS WE'RE GETTING THOSE POSITIONS FILLED AND CREATED IN THE WAKE OF WHAT HAS OCCURRED, MORE AND MORE POSITIONS. AND SO WE'LL GET MORE.
COMPARISONS AVAILABLE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNEW THAT GETTING OUTSIDE THE EDUCATIONAL WORLD COMPARISON TAKES US DOWN ANOTHER ROAD, AND THAT IS NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
SO WE JUST GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THAT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MRS. RUNKLE, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THAT'S NOT THE CONVERSATION THAT I HAD WITH DR.
MEDINA. IT WAS LOOKING AT PHYSICIANS LIKE JERI'S THAT WE CAN'T REALLY GET A GOOD COMPARISON ON.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I STATED THAT.
BUT I SEE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING COMPLETELY.
ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROSCO. THANK YOU, MS. RUNKLE. IT WASN'T YOUR IDEA.
AND I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT.
IT WAS DR. MEDINA WHO MENTIONED THAT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU REALLY DIVING INTO IT AND PULLING THOSE THINGS OUT.
SO THANK YOU, MS. PETREA AND MS. RUNKLE, FOR PULLING SOME OF THOSE THINGS OUT FOR US TO LOOK AT.
DR. WRIGHT, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE THING.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER OUR BOND TALK WHERE WE WERE AT M&O.
AND I HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE ASK THE QUESTION, WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING US AS HVAC TECHS THE SAME AS WHAT THE PRIVATE INDUSTRY IS? AND I SAID, WELL YOU COME TO US FOR A QUALITY OF LIFE? YOU CAN COME TO US TO WORK A SET AMOUNT OF DAYS SO THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN A GOOD WAGE AND TIME TO TO ENJOY YOUR FAMILY OR YOURSELF OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE.
YOU CAN MAKE DOUBLE THE MONEY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO WORK 24 SEVEN HERE.
YOU'RE GOING TO WORK 8 HOURS A DAY FOR 230 DAYS VERSUS WORKING 300 DAYS, MAKING TWICE THE MONEY.
AND SO A LOT [INAUDIDLE] MAX WILL ATTEST TO THIS.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PLUMBING AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HVAC AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ELECTRICIANS, THEY CAN MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY THAN WHAT WE PAY THEM, BUT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO WORK A LOT MORE HOURS.
YOU'RE TRADING MONEY FOR TIME AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE IN THIS LIFE IS TIME AND MONEY.
RIGHT. AND YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO INVEST YOUR.
YEAH, IT'S A WORK LIFE BALANCE.
I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, EVIL NEVER TAKES A DAY OFF.
I ALSO TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THIS BOARD.
AND THEN JERI CAME ON A LITTLE BIT AFTER THAT.
BUT SHE'S NOT ACTUALLY THE FIRST PERSON WE HAD IN THAT POSITION.
SO, YES, I THINK THIS BOARD AND DR.
WRIGHT SHOULD TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT WE'VE BEEN AHEAD OF THIS.
AND TO YOUR POINT, MS. RUNKLE, WE'VE HAD TO SCOUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SEE WHO HAS DONE THIS OUTSIDE OF HAVING THEIR OWN POLICE FORCE.
[01:30:04]
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT ANIMAL, RIGHT? WE DON'T HAVE THAT.BUT WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT HEADED BY JERI.
SO HAVING BEEN A SUPERINTENDENT IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE WE HAD OUR OWN POLICE FORCE, JERI'S POSITION IS IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO WHAT A POLICE CHIEF OF POLICE DOES IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL.
BUT THAT'S THE COMPARISON WE USED INITIALLY.
AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT TOO, BECAUSE MY POLICE CHIEF IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT I USED TO WORK IN DID ALL OF THE AUDITS, THE THE EMERGENCY OPERATION PLANNING, AND WE ALSO HAD THE SCHOOL MARSHAL PROGRAM AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
SO THAT'S JUST A BASELINE FOR THE COMPARISON.
CHIEF OF POLICE HAS A GOOD RING TO IT.
I MEAN, WE HAVE A CHIEF OF HR CHIEF OF THIS, CHIEF OF THAT, CHIEF OF THAT.
I'M JUST SAYING IT HAS A GOOD RING, SO I LIKED YOUR EXPLANATION.
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. THAT IS NOT THE POINT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP.
ALL RIGHT, DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ? NOW I JUST WANT TO COMMEND DR.
BUT I DO WANT TO SAY WE MAY HAVE THAT IN THIS [INAUDIBLE] STUDY SOMEWHERE.
OKAY. MS. BURTON POINTED ITS ALREADY THERE.
GOOD JOB. AND YEAH, WE CAN TELL YOU THE PAGE, BUT I THINK IT'S ON THERE.
I'LL GO THROUGH IT. I MEAN, I WENT THROUGH IT ALREADY A COUPLE OF TIMES, SO I JUST DIDN'T SEE THAT.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT. SO AND SECONDLY, DR.
MEDINA, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT I KNOW POSITIONS WERE REMOVED BUT EITHER WERE RECLASSIFIED OR TITLES CHANGED.
SO I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THAT AND KUDOS TO THOSE THAT RETIRED AS WELL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S AWESOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE OVER HERE? FOR COMPENSATION? OVER HERE. COMPENSATION, MISS OROSCO.
DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ ON PAGE 39.
IT DOES LISTS MASTER'S DEGREE AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION BUT DOESN'T HAVE DOCTORATE, SO I'M SURE WE CAN REQUEST THAT INFORMATION. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T ON HERE.
OKAY, PERFECT. I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT STIPENDS.
SO ON THE COMP PLAN, THOSE START.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE ANSWERS TO ALL OF MY RANDOM QUESTIONS I HAVE BEEN SPENDING.
MY EYES ARE GOING CROSS-EYED I THINK AT THIS POINT LOOKING AT THIS.
BUT I'VE AND I APPRECIATE THAT OTHER DOCUMENTS.
DO YOU HAVE THE BIGGER ONE? I THINK, MR. SEVERANCE, I'M SO USED TO THIS.
I'M SORT OF CONDITIONED ON THIS ONE.
ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS ON PAGE 15, FOLKS.
THIS IS A NEW ITEM FOR $500 STIPEND.
IS THIS A DIFFERENT PERSON OR IS THIS THE COACH WHO DOES THIS? IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT PERSON ANY THIS PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INVENTORYING, ENSURING THAT OUR EQUIPMENT IS UP TO PAR.
[01:35:01]
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW DID THIS COME TO US AT MR. MOFFITT SUGGEST THIS? ACTUALLY, IT WAS PART OF SOMETHING THAT CAME UP THROUGH THE COORDINATORS OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO AS A NEED.AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MR. MOFFITT THIS YEAR AS SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN CARRIED OVER FROM A REQUEST FROM THE PRIOR FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS THIS WAS LIKE A YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST A TRAINER.
IS THIS A TEACHER? IS THIS AN ASSISTANT COACH? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WEBMASTER FOR ATHLETICS.
I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THIS IS A HOLDOVER FROM WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE A LANCE MOFFITT.
AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE, BUT AT ONE POINT WE DIDN'T HAVE AN AD AND MR. GOMEZ WAS DOING THIS WITH SOME HELP.
AND IT WAS JUST A LOT BECAUSE WE ONBOARDED A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM FOR TICKETING.
BUT IN SPEAKING TO MR. MOFFITT, HE BELIEVES THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY REVISIT AND REASSIGN THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES TO EITHER THE SECRETARIES OR SOMEONE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENTS TO OVERSEE THAT.
OKAY, I JUST GET CONCERNED BECAUSE I'VE GOT THESE PRETTY MUCH MEMORIZED AT THIS POINT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST LEAVING THINGS ON AND HOLDING THINGS OVER WHEN WE ADD POSITIONS, OR BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE CREATE STIPENDS BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO AN FTE AT THE MOMENT.
AND WHEN SOMEONE IS JUST DROWNING IN WORK AND OH, SO THIS NEXT ONE IS ANOTHER ONE, MR. SAVOY MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING.
SO WE EVENTS COVERAGE FOR $6,000.
I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS WAS IN PLACE BEFORE WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL POSITION FOR MR. SAVOY'S TEAM.
BUT THIS I MEAN, THIS MAY NEED TO STAY.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE IF IF THE ADDITIONAL TEAM MEMBERS THAT MR. SAVOY, WOULD YOU STILL NEED A $6,000 EVENTS COVERAGE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ROLL INTO THE SALARY OF ONE OF THE VISUAL MEDIA COORDINATOR? I DON'T KNOW IF IT DID OR NOT, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY.
YEAH, WE JUST STRIKE THAT RIGHT NOW.
NO, I DON'T. I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STRUCK IT.
IT'S IN THE NEW SALARY THAT WAS IN THAT WAS IN IN LIEU OF FREELANCING FOR THE PASTRY PRESS.
AND THEN IT TURNED OUT, WELL, THERE WERE SOME ISSUES THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT WOULD BE COVERED AS A NEWSPAPER INDEPENDENT REPORTER MIGHT NOT MATCH WITH THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE.
OKAY. LIKE REACTION, FOR EXAMPLE, TO ALIGNMENTS IN UIL.
I MEAN, IT WOULD JUST BE KIND OF.
INCOMPATIBLE. AND SO WE DID THAT.
BUT I THOUGHT WE, I THOUGHT WE SET IT TO WHERE IT WOULD ROLL IN.
BUT NOW THAT WAS MY RECOLLECTION AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
LIKE SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET KIND OF LIKE ROLLED FORWARD, MAY STILL BE IN THERE.
SO WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS UNTIL TOMORROW.
I MEAN, IF IT NEEDS TO STAY UP UNTIL Y'ALL WORK IT OUT, FINE.
BUT MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT THIS WAS MAYBE PRIOR TO YOUR REORG, THIS NEEDED TO BE THERE.
BUT MAYBE IT DOESN'T NOW. BUT WE'LL LET YOU FIGURE THAT OUT, OKAY? YEAH, I'M NOT SURE. I JUST WOULDN'T WANT SOMEONE TO GET A 6000 DOLLARS.
I HAVE SOME HISTORY ON THE WEBMASTER FOR THIS BOARD'S.
YEAH. TELL ME. SO BACK WHEN BETSY RUSSELL WAS HERE, BEFORE WE HAD AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND I THINK WE STILL FLOW THROUGH OUR WEBSITES FOR OUR ATHLETIC SITES ARE ACTUALLY SEPARATE SITES RUN BY DIFFERENT COMPANY.
AND WE HAVE 11 OR 12,000 WEB PAGES, SUB PAGES ANYWAY.
SO WE HAVE ONE WEBMASTER WHO WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ALL THAT.
[01:40:03]
SO YEARS AGO WE HAD TO LET'S ADD BECAUSE THAT'S EXTRA WORK AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.I BELIEVE THAT WAS ADDED IN BECAUSE THE ASIDE FROM THE CAMPUS WEBSITE, LIKE AT A HIGH SCHOOL, THE SPORTS AT A HIGH SCHOOL ITS OWN PROJECT AS WELL.
I WANT TO SAY THAT WE USED TO ONLY LET THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF GET A STIPEND OR WHATEVER.
NOW. BUT NOW CAN THE SECRETARIES GET ONE, TWO OR.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD? I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE HAVE SOME LEGWORK TO DO.
YEAH. AND THAT'S THAT'S HELPFUL.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT DOESN'T GET DONE.
I THINK THIS STIPEND IS VALID FOR THE WORKLOAD.
I THINK THE MANAGEMENT OF WHO'S SUPPOSED TO GET IT AND WHETHER THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING THE WORKLOAD FOR THE STIPEND IS PROBABLY WE'RE IN A POSITION NOW WITH AN ACTUAL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GETTING DONE.
SO I WOULD MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON IT WOULD BE TO KEEP THE STIPEND FOR WHOMEVER DOES IT, BUT THEN WOULD JUST DO A BETTER JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY DO THE WORK. YEAH, YEAH.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING AND THAT IT'S NOT JUST BEING HELD OVER AND HELD HELD UP FOR IT COULD GO TO SOMETHING ELSE IF WE DON'T NEED IT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PURPOSE ANYMORE, IF IT'S BEEN ROLLED INTO A SALARY OR AN FTE, FOR EXAMPLE.
OKAY. SO MY NEXT ONE IS ON WINTER GUARD.
WINTER GUARD IS KIND OF THE SPRING SEASON OF COLOR GUARD.
ACTUALLY SAYS COLOR SLASH WINTER GUARD, 5000.
THAT'S GREAT. THAT WILL HELP A LOT WITH THAT CONFUSION.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT MORE ON CTE.
COSMETOLOGY, IS MY UNDERSTANDING, BETWEEN MAYBE AUGUST, IF WE HAVE TO CLEAN THAT UP.
LET ME MAKE SURE THAT THAT MAY BE MY ONLY.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ON THE ASSISTANT MARIACHI STIPEND.
I KNOW MS. OROSCO HAD ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, AND I THINK THOSE WERE VERY VALID.
I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL OF MY COMPENSATION RELATED QUESTIONS.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE BREAK AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT BUDGET.
[O.2. Consideration and possible approval of the Hays CISD Budget for the 2022-2023 School Year]
WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS REGARDING COMPENSATION RELATED TO THE BUDGET.MR. RAU IS HERE IF WE WANT TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS.
WE'VE GOT A NEW UPDATED BUDGET HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS TOMORROW, HOPEFULLY.
AND PAGE FIVE OF THIS PRESENTATION, YOU HAVE TO COUNT THEM YOURSELF, INCLUDING THE COVER PAGE.
GIVES A GOOD OVERVIEW OF THE UPDATED BUDGET NUMBERS.
MR. RAU WE ARE HERE AND WE MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THIS UPDATED PRESENTATION? YES. SO THE NUMBERS.
FOR THE MOST PART ARE THE SAME FROM WHAT WE HAD AT OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP, EXCEPT THAT I WENT IN AND ADJUSTED THE AMOUNTS FOR THE INCREASE IN THE STIPENDS THAT YOU ALL HAD DISCUSSED AT THE LAST WORKSHOP.
AND SO EVERYWHERE HERE WHERE YOU SEE A YELLOW HIGHLIGHT, THAT'S A NUMBER THAT CHANGED.
AND IF I REMEMBER, I DON'T WANT TO SAY WAS ABOUT 250,000 DOLLARS.
RIGHT. OF STIPEND INCREASES? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S HELPFUL. AND THE FIRST I MEAN, I'LL JUST KIND OF GO OVER THIS THE LAYOUT HERE REAL QUICK.
I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, ALL THE NUMBERS ARE THE SAME.
BUT THIS IS THE THE FORMAT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH TO DEVELOP OUR BUDGET BOOK.
[01:45:02]
YOU CAN SEE THE BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS.THOSE ARE EVERYTHING THAT WERE ON THE SLIDES.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE ON THE NEXT PAGE.
I THINK IT'S INCLUDING PAGE, INCLUDING THE COVER SHEET.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET, CHILD NUTRITION AND DEBT SERVICE.
AND THEN PAGE FOUR JUST SHOWS A FEW LITTLE GRAPHS.
THIS IS IN ESSENCE THE BASIS OF THE PUBLIC FORUM.
AND SO I JUST STARTED INCORPORATING THEM AS PART OF THE BUDGET.
WHEN YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, PAGE FIVE, THAT'S THE PAGE THAT WAS AT THE END OF THE BUDGET PRESENTATION THAT YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT.
AND IT'S JUST IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT, BUT ALL THE NUMBERS ARE STILL THERE.
IT'S SHOWING OUR ESTIMATED REVENUES, ESTIMATED EXPENDED EXPENDITURES, THE DEFICIT, THE FUND BALANCE, THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT GOING INTO FUND BALANCE, ALL THERE AT THE BOTTOM, AND THEN THE 25% OF THE BUDGET.
SO EVEN WITH OUR ESTIMATED FUND BALANCE BEING RIGHT THERE, ABOUT 66 MILLION, 25% OF OUR BUDGET IS 56.
SO WE'RE STILL WITHIN AND WITHIN THAT PARAMETER.
IT DOES HELP US WITH OUR INTEREST RATES.
GREAT. ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT PAGE.
MR. RAU I THINK WE'RE PRETTY WELL VERSED IN THIS BY NOW.
I WANT TO JUST OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS, IF THAT'S OKAY, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT REAL QUICK, THIS PAGE IS BASICALLY THE BUDGET.
IT'S BROKEN DOWN BY FUND AND FUNCTION.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET? DR. WRIGHT, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? NO. I JUST WANTED TO THANK RANDY AND HIS TEAM FOR PUTTING ALL THESE NUMBERS TOGETHER.
THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB AND YOU GUYS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR A WHILE KNOW THAT HISTORICALLY WE HAVE APPROVED A DEFICIT BUDGET, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, WE HAVE BALANCED THE BUDGET OR EVEN PUT MONEY BACK IN THE FUND BALANCE.
AND THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE MORE CHALLENGING TO DO THAT.
SO JUST BECAUSE WE APPROVE IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING TO SPEND IT.
AND SO WE DO HAVE A GOOD PLAN FOR BALANCING OUR BUDGET AS FAR AS EXPENDITURES ARE CONCERNED.
AND SO I WANTED YOU GUYS, ESPECIALLY BYRON AND DR.
ESME FOR, YOU KNOW, THIS IS YALLS FIRST PROCESS INTO THIS.
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT, DR.
WRIGHT AND WE KNOW THAT AS A FAST GROWTH DISTRICT WILL GET AHEAD OF SOME OF THIS, BUT NOT ALL OF IT.
AND WE TOTALLY TRUST I TOTALLY TRUST THOSE NUMBERS, RANDY.
WHAT AM I MISSING? SO THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT AND TOTALLY MAKES SENSE, RIGHT? SO I APPRECIATE THAT.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO VOTING YES ON THIS BUDGET.
THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR DOING DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS BUDGET.
I KNOW IT TOOK A LOT OF PREP AND A LOT OF STRESS AND TOMORROW YOU CAN BREATHE A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS AMAZING. AND YOUR TEAM.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.
I KNOW IT CAME RIGHT AT THE OR ACTUALLY PUT A STATEMENT THIS MORNING.
SO IF YOU GUYS CAN PLEASE PUT ON BOARD BLOG THE CAMPUS BUDGETS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
[01:50:06]
DO YOU HAVE THOSE? YES, I KNOW ALEX IS WORKING ON THOSE.YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN GET.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ADD ON BOARD BLOG TOMORROW? I BELIEVE SO. HE HAS THEM IN EXCEL, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO DIFFICULT TO DO THAT.
OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.
I KNOW THAT WE ARE ASKED TO APPROVE THIS BUDGET, CAMPUS BUDGET.
SO I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MY EYES ON THEM AS WELL AND SEE THEM SO THAT I CAN SAY I SAW THEM.
YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO SEE I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT THE CAMPUS BUDGETS ARE THAT FALL WITHIN THAT.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BUDGET? WHILE, WE'RE HERE. GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. RAU. WE LOOK FORWARD TO VOTING ON THIS TOMORROW.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE INFORMATION ITEMS [INAUDIBLE] SYSTEM PRESENTATION.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? DR. MEDINA IS STILL HERE AND COULD ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? PERFECT MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
OKAY. AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
[P.4. Update on Construction Projects]
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS? MS. RUNKLE. MR. CLEAVER DON'T PACK UP TOO MUCH A QUESTION AND MR. CLEAVER MAY NOT EVEN HAVE TO GET UP, BUT I JUST SPOKE WITH HIM.HE SAID THAT HE IS GOING TO GIVE US SOME DATES TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, PROBABLY THE END OF JULY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO LOOKING AT ALL OF THE CAMPUSES WITH FURNITURE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? PERFECT. ANY REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD?
[Q. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES]
MS. RUNKLE. YES.OKAY. ANY OTHER REQUESTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT MEETING IS TOMORROW RIGHT HERE AT THE [INAUDIBLE] ROOM STARTING AT 5 P.M., I'LL HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING.
[S. UPCOMING BOARD MEETINGS]
ALSO, JUST WANT TO CALL OUT THAT JOANNE KLAERNER.OFFICIAL MEETING. YOU'LL HAVE SOME SPECIAL MEETINGS.
MAYBE, BUT THIS IS YOUR LAST ONE OF THESE LONG ONES, RIGHT? [APPLAUSE].
THANK YOU. FOR EVERYTHING WE KNOW.
WE APPRECIATE YOU, AND WE HOPE THAT YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US.
DO WE WANT TO DO A PICTURE? CAN WE DO A PICTURE? MR. SAVOY, CAN YOU TAKE OUR PICTURE? ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GOING TO ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 9:07 P.M.
