A QUORUM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
WE ARE JUST MISSING BYRON SEVERANCE THIS EVENING WHO IS MOVING IN HIS FIRST BORN INTO COLLEGE.
SO WE WISH HIM WELL AND NOT TOO MANY TEARS, HOPEFULLY.
[B. CLOSED SESSION]
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 41 8.1 83F.[C. RECONVENE IN OPEN SESSION - immediately following Closed Session]
ALL RIGHT, TEAM, ARE WE READY? IT'S A LONG, BIG AGENDA THIS EVENING.I WANT TO WELCOME EVERYONE THAT IS HERE TONIGHT AND THOSE LISTENING ONLINE.
WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED A QUORUM.
ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE PRESENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BYRON SEVERANCE.
[D. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO UNITED STATES AND TEXAS FLAGS]
THANK YOU, MRS. OROZCO.[E. MISSION STATEMENT]
AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR MISSION STATEMENT AS READ BY OUR BOARD VICE PRESIDENT RAUL VELA.THE MISSION OF HAYS CISD IS TO NURTURE STUDENTS TO BECOME EXTRAORDINARY CITIZENS THROUGH UNIQUE PERSONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES, THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS, WHILE CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY AND LEGACY.
ITEM F IS OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT, AS LED BY WILL MCMANUS.
[F. SOCIAL CONTRACT]
THE BOARD WILL SERVE AS DISTRICT AMBASSADORS.BE PROFESSIONAL, COLLABORATE AS A TEAM AND RESPECT THE BODY CORPORATE.
PROMOTE DISCUSSION AND RESPECT EACH OTHER.
ASSUME POSITIVE AND NOBLE INTENTIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE SOME OF THOSE UP HERE GOING FORWARD.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT AND MISSION STATEMENT IN MORE DETAIL.
NEXT UP IS ITEM G, THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
[G. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]
DR. WRIGHT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US TONIGHT? THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PETREA.THANK YOU FOR BRAVING THE RAIN TONIGHT, WHICH I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE.
IT'S A BLESSING. WE NEEDED IT.
AND SO HOPEFULLY OUR RESERVOIRS ARE BEING FILLED AS WE SPEAK.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE AN UMBRELLA WHEN YOU LEAVE TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, I WANTED TO START WITH UPDATED ENROLLMENT AS OF TODAY.
AND SO WE HAVE BEEN REFINING AND KIND OF CLEANING UP OUR ROLES TODAY.
IN ATTENDANCE, WE HAD 21,843 STUDENTS.
WE STILL HAVE MANY THAT ARE STILL IN THE REGISTRATION QUEUE.
AND SO IF THEY ALL SHOULD COME, WE WE WILL HAVE 22,336 TOTAL STUDENTS.
SO STILL HAVE SEVERAL THAT HAVEN'T REQUESTED RECORDS ELSEWHERE.
AND SO WE'RE WE'RE FINDING THOSE LISTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
NEXT, I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL.
OBVIOUSLY, PART OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS TO REALLY EMBRACE THE WELL ROUNDED STUDENT APPROACH WHERE IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ONE TEST SCORE OR ABOUT OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
BUT I JUST HAVE TO BRAG ON BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY 19 YEARS OF BEING SUPERINTENDENT, WE'VE I'VE HAD A CAMPUS THAT NOT ONLY MADE AN A, BUT THEY GOT EVERY SINGLE DISTINCTION POSSIBLE.
SO CONGRATULATIONS, BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AND THAT WAY WE CAN PAT EVERYBODY ON THE BACK.
I DON'T KNOW IF JESUS IS GOING TO DO THE BARBECUING OR MICHAEL.
ONE OF THEM, I THINK, IS GOING TO VOLUNTEER.
IT'S GOING TO BE A TEAM EFFORT, ALL RIGHT, AOUNDS GREAT.
AND AND THEN I KNOW MARIBEL AND KEVIN ARE GOING TO GO OVER THE REST OF OUR DISTINCTIONS AND OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SCORES AND THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT.
SO WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A FEW MINUTES.
NEXT, I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU, WE OPEN UP FOOTBALL SEASON ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT SHELTON STADIUM.
[00:05:03]
HAYES PLAYS AND THEN ON FRIDAY NIGHT, JOHNSON PLAYS.AND SO IT'S KIND OF NICE TO HAVE FOOTBALL BACK AND IT'S HARD TO BEAT THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AND FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE BANDS, YOU HAVE THE DRILL TEAM, YOU HAVE CHEERLEADERS, YOU HAVE ALL THE FANS.
AND AND IT'S JUST IT'S SUCH AN EXCITING TIME.
AND SO THURSDAY NIGHT AT SEVEN, I THINK HAYES PLAYS AKINS.
AND THEN FRIDAY NIGHT, JOHNSON OPENS UP WITH CLARK FROM SAN ANTONIO.
AND THEN THE LAST THING ON, I MEAN, I HAVE TWO MORE THINGS.
THE NEXT THING ON MY REPORT IS WE LISTEN TO TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY.
AND THOSE OF YOU IN THE COMMUNITY, WE THINK THIS IS A WIN WIN SITUATION.
OUR GOAL WAS TO ACTIVELY HAVE STUDENTS ENGAGED IN THE CLASSROOM AND NOT HAVE CELL PHONES DURING INSTRUCTIONAL TIME BE A DISTRACTION. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE DIDN'T WANT KIDS TO BE WITHOUT THEIR PHONES WHEN THEY WENT HOME.
SO SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE LANDLINE PHONES ANYMORE.
AND SO IN THIS AGE OF SAFETY, WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO TWEAK THIS.
AND SO NOW WE WILL BE GIVING BACK A CONFISCATED PHONE AT THE END OF EACH DAY TO THE KIDS.
AND IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO GO BY THE OFFICE AND PICK THOSE UP.
BUT THERE WILL BE KIND OF A GRADUAL CONSEQUENCE SYSTEM.
THE FIRST OFFENSE AND THIS ONE IS MIDDLE SCHOOL WILL BE A WARNING.
THE SECOND ONE, SECOND OFFENSE WILL BE CONFISCATION OF THE DEVICE.
THIRD OFFENSE WILL BE A CONFISCATION OF THE DEVICE AND PARENT NOTIFIED.
AND THEN THE FOURTH OFFENSE WILL BE CONFISCATION OF THE DEVICE AND POSSIBLE $10 FEE AND A MANDATORY MEETING WITH A ONE HOUR OF AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION AND THEN AFTER MULTIPLE OFFENSES, THEN IT GOES TO SAME THING, BUT WITH IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION AND THEN HIGH SCHOOL IS MUCH THE SAME.
THE FIRST OFFENSE IS A WARNING.
SECOND OFFENSE, CONFISCATION OF THE DEVICE, $10 FEE, THIRD OFFENSE, CONFISCATION OF DEVICE, $10 FEE AND ONE HOUR OF AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION.
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, IN CASE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, WE'RE NOT USING THIS AS A MONEYMAKER.
WE'RE HOPEFULLY GIVING THIS TO SOME KIND OF CHARITY.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO EARMARK THOSE FEES FOR.
AND SO IT WILL GO TO A TO A NOBLE CAUSE TO HELP HELP THOSE IN NEED.
THE NEXT AND LAST ITEM I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A REGION 13 COMPARISON FROM 2019 TO 2022.
AND IF YOU'LL LOOK IN YOUR PACKET, YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS.
AND BARBARA IS PUTTING IT UP ON THE BOARD NOW.
BUT ON THIS ON THE SHEET, YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE REGION, 13 DISTRICTS THAT HAVE SIZES SIMILAR TO OURS AS FAR AS STUDENT ENROLLMENT.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE GAINS THAT WERE MADE OVER THE COURSE OF TIME.
AND AND WE WERE ONE OF THE FEW DISTRICTS THAT HAD A POSITIVE INCREASE AND NOT A NEGATIVE ONE.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU BECAUSE IT'S POSITIVE AND IT'S A AFFIRMATION TO THE WORK THAT OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS AND ALL THE PARENTS THAT ARE ASSISTING STUDENTS AT HOME ARE DOING.
AND SO THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY.
AND I WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE IN THE GREEN AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO, BOARD MEMBERS, YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS IN YOUR PACKET IF..
WE DON'T, BUT WE CAN GET THAT LATER.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GET YOU A COPY.
WELL, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR MY REPORT.
OKAY, TEAM, WE WENT OVER ENROLLMENT.
BARTON, MIDDLE SCHOOL, CELL PHONE POLICY AND OUR RATINGS AGAINST THE REGION.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MRS. OROSCO. DR.
FOOTBALL SCRIMMAGE GAME THAT REALLY IMPACTED THE TRAFFIC AT HAYES HIGH SCHOOL.
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? YES, MA'AM. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IN LIFE YOU TRY THINGS AND THEY DON'T WORK.
WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE HELPING GET THE GAME ON BECAUSE OF THE RAIN CHANCES.
[00:10:07]
AND SO WE MOVED THE GAME UP AND WE REALLY BELIEVED THAT THE TRAFFIC WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO FLOW.AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THAT WASN'T THE CASE.
AND SO NOW, COACH MOFFITT, OUR AD IS GOING TO WORK WITH OUR COACHES IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALLOW ALL OF THE TRAFFIC FROM HAYS HIGH SCHOOL TO LEAVE BEFORE WE ALLOW OTHERS TO COME IN.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO BATTLE THE WEATHER ANYMORE.
SO WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK AS A RESULT OF THAT.
BUT WE LEARNED OUR LESSON AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE.
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.
BUT IN REGARDS TO FOOTBALL, YOU SAID WE HAVE TWO BIG FOOTBALL GAMES ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AGAINST AKINS AND WE WILL HAVE OUR PEANUT BUTTER BOWL THAT NIGHT.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROMOTE OUR PEANUT BUTTER BOWL.
WE'RE ASKING FOLKS TO BRING A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER OR THEY CAN DONATE $2.
THAT GOES TO OUR HAYS HOPE TO GO PROGRAM.
SO PLEASE BRING YOUR PEANUT BUTTER OR DONATE $2.
THAT GOES TO OUR HAYS HOPE TO GO PROGRAM FEEDING THE CHILDREN OF HAYS CISD.
AWESOME, IS TREY GOING TO DRESS UP LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AGAIN? WE'LL HAVE PEANUT BUTTER.
WE'LL HAVE MILK AND WE'LL HAVE SOME JELLY POSSIBLY.
PERFECT. YES, WE WERE OUT HER RED AND BLUE AND THE PEANUT BUTTER BOWL WAS DEFINITELY HYPED.
THIS IS NOT JUST HAYS CISD AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE REALLY TRYING TO COMPETE.
WE DO LIKE TO WIN AROUND HERE, SO HOPEFULLY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS WILL BE IN THE TOP FIVE.
WRIGHT'S SUPERINTENDENT REPORT? ALL RIGHT. WELL, I JUST I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM FOR BEING FLEXIBLE ON THE CELL PHONE POLICY.
I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD COMPROMISE.
WE ARE GOING TO UPDATE FNC LOCAL TEAM THAT WILL BE COMING TO US IN SEPTEMBER.
THE HANDBOOK CHANGES OBVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED, BUT IT ALSO IMPACTS FNCE LOCAL.
SO WE'LL BE WORKING TO UPDATE THAT AS WELL.
MOVING ON NOW TO PUBLIC FORUM H, MS.
[H. PUBLIC FORUM]
GLORIA, DO WE OR MR. SAVOY, DO WE HAVE ANY ONE WANTING TO SPEAK TONIGHT? LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT.ALL RIGHT. JUST AS A REMINDER, ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD IN PUBLIC FORUM MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE GREEN SHEET LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING. IF YOU DID NOT SIGN UP, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OF PUBLIC FORUM IS RECORDED AS PART OF THE RECORDING OF THE ENTIRE MEETING AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE WITHOUT ALTERATION.
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE SHELLY O'DONNELL HERE TO SPEAK TO US TONIGHT.
AND SHELLY, IF YOU WILL, JUST HOP ON THAT MICROPHONE AND MAKE SURE THAT IS ON.
THAT WILL BE GREAT. YOU WILL HAVE 5 MINUTES TO SPEAK.
AND WELCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SHELLY O'DONNELL.
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THAT IS WASTE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR BUSINESSES.
AND WE HAVE A SOLUTION ALSO, AND THAT IS TO FILL A CLASSROOM AND NOT A LANDFILL.
AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
THE TEACHER REUSE GOT OUR NONPROFIT 501 C3 IN MARCH, AND WE STARTED COLLECTING SUPPLIES FROM BUSINESSES AND FROM TEACHERS THEMSELVES AND DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, AND WE COLLECTED THEM AND GOT READY TO DISTRIBUTE THEM.
WE HAD NO PLACE TO DISTRIBUTE BECAUSE ELON MUSK HAS NOT CALLED ME BACK TO GIVE ME A PLACE.
I WAS WONDERING IF TIM MIGHT HAVE HIM GIVE ME A CALL, BUT HAYES CAME THROUGH FOR US.
[00:15:05]
Y'ALL GAVE US A BUILDING, A PORTABLE BUILDING NEXT TO CENTRAL OFFICE KNOWN AS THE VOTING BUILDING AND VACCINATION BUILDING.WE HAVE HAD THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME AND DROP OFF SUPPLIES.
FOR EXAMPLE, THESE LETTERHEADS.
CAN YOU USE THEM? ON SATURDAY, A DELL VALLEY TEACHER CAME AND SAID, CAN I HAVE THOSE? BECAUSE I CAN FLIP IT OVER AND RUN IT THROUGH THE COPIER.
WE'RE REUSING SUPPLIES THAT ARE NORMALLY THROWN AWAY.
WILL YOU COME PICK THESE UP? ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
AND WE HAD OVER 200 OF THESE LANYARDS.
WE ARE SAVING TEACHERS HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THAT THEY PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS MISCELLANEOUS STUFF THAT THEY HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS DONATE.
IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL PROJECT.
AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US HAVE THIS BUILDING.
YOU LET US HAVE IT FOR THREE WEEKS.
IT HAS GOTTEN OUT TO THE DISTRICT.
IT HAS WE SERVED 20, 20 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THREE WEEKS AND WE HAD 360 TEACHERS COME INTO THAT BUILDING, THE VOTING BUILDING.
AND WE OUT OF THOSE 20 DISTRICTS, WE HAD 360 TEACHERS AND 264 OF THEM WERE HAYS TEACHERS.
SO YOU CAME IN, YOU WALKED OUT WITH EVERYTHING'S FREE TO CHARTER AND PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
IT WAS SUCH A SUCCESS THAT WE STARTED HAVING MORE DONATIONS.
SO NOW THAT BUILDING IS FULL OF DONATIONS AND NOW WE NEED THAT NEXT PLACE.
AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS A VOTING BUILDING.
BUT WE DO NEED A BUILDING AND I DO KNOW THAT THAT'S BEING USED FOR VOTING AND WE ARE REACHING OUT, ASKING, IS THERE ANOTHER PLACE THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH? IF SO, WE WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.
FOR YOU BEING OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH DONATED OVERALL.
IN 19 DAYS WE SAVED TEACHERS IN CENTRAL TEXAS 44,000.
DOLLARS, AND THAT IS THE HONOR POLICY.
THEY COME IN, WRITE DOWN THEIR NAME AND HOW MUCH THEY THINK THEY SAVED AS THEY WALKED OUT THE DOOR.
$44,000. WE MODELED THIS DIRECTLY AFTER THE WELLMAN PROJECT THAT'S IN NORTH TEXAS.
WE TALKED TO THEM, PARTNERED WITH THEM ON WHAT WE'RE DOING, HOW WE'RE DOING IT.
SO WE'RE ASKING FOR ANY ASSISTANCE WE COULD POSSIBLY GET FROM HAYS CISD TO CONTINUE THIS PROJECT.
AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAVE GIVEN YOUR INFORMATION TO DR.
WRIGHT, OUR SUPERINTENDENT, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.
I KNOW WE ARE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET BACK TO YOU WITH SOME GOOD NEWS.
[I. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT]
WHICH IS GOING TO BE MARIVEL SEDILLO TEAM.IN YOUR FOLDER, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS PAPERCLIP PACKET.
AND WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR US.
FIRST, MARIVEL SEDILLO, TAKE IT AWAY.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BOARD PRESIDENT PETREA AND DR.
WRIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING TEACHING AND LEARNING.
THIS EVENING, I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT KEVIN JUST GOING OVER OUR STAR DISTINCTIONS.
WATSON GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF OUR CCR PLATFORM CALLED SCHOOL LINKS.
[00:20:07]
YOU'LL ALSO GET A COPY OF ALL THIS DATA IN BOARD BLOG MORE THAN LIKELY TOMORROW.AND SO WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY CAMPUS DATA THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO KEVIN TO HIGHLIGHT OUR DISTINCTIONS.
I HAD ASKED MARIVEL FOR SOME OF THIS DATA BROKEN DOWN BY CAMPUS.
I KNOW WE USUALLY WANT THAT AND ASKED FOR THAT.
SO SHE HAS THAT AVAILABLE FOR US.
AND THAT MAY BE A WEEKEND READING PROJECT, BUT I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU.
WE FOCUS ON THAT GROWTH FOR ALL STUDENTS AND WE REALLY CAME THROUGH ON THAT.
THERE YOU SEE ALL THE CAMPUSES THAT EARN THAT.
IT IS VERY HARD FOR HIGH SCHOOLS WITH THE SYSTEM TO EARN AN ACADEMIC DISTINCTION.
AND WE EARNED THREE OF THEM AT BOTH THOSE HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND THEN GOING BACK TO BARTON AGAIN, DR.
SO WE JUST WANT TO SAY HOW HUGE THAT IS.
AND IN IN REGION 13, THERE ARE ONLY TWO CAMPUSES THAT GOT ALL SEVEN.
SO CONGRATS TO MR. LLOYD AND HIS FABULOUS TEAM AND TEACHERS.
AND THAT'S REALLY IT FOR THAT.
WE'RE CONTINUING THIS AND HOPING TO GET MORE NEXT YEAR.
SO SUPER PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.
SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. [INAUDIBLE]? YES, WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AFTER WE DIG INTO ALL OF THIS DATA.
ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DR.
WATSON, WHO'S GOING TO SHOW US..
WILL THEY BE HERE NEXT WEEK TO ANSWER QUESTIONS? YES. PRESIDENT PETREA, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
IT'S MY PLEASURE TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT SCHOOL LINKS.
WE SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN THE SPRING LAST YEAR AS WE'RE LOOKING TO PURCHASE THIS.
I DO WANT TO REPORT THAT WE'VE GOT ALL THE DATA INTEGRATED AT THIS POINT.
WE HAVE STUDENTS ACCESSING THE PLATFORM AND WE'VE GOT A PLAN TO CONTINUE TO PHASE IN ASPECTS OF IT.
AND WE HAVE A SCOPE IN SEQUENCE FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL THAT MS. GONZALEZ HAS HELPED PUT TOGETHER, ALONG WITH FOLKS FROM SCHOOL LINKS.
SO TRULY THE IDEA OF SCHOOLING IS TO HAVE A ONE STOP SHOP FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.
WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO PLAN OUT THEIR COLLEGE OR CAREER THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
SO THERE'S SEVERAL ACTIVITIES THAT THEY CAN TAKE PLACE IN.
THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE ONBOARDING FOR OUR STUDENTS WHEN THEY FIRST LOG INTO THE SYSTEM, AND THEY'LL SIMPLY JUST START BUILDING THEIR PROFILE BY TAKING A FEW ASSESSMENTS. ONCE THEY GET THEIR RESULTS BACK.
AND OF COURSE, THIS CAN CHANGE THROUGHOUT TIME AS STUDENTS CAN GO BACK IN.
SO ONCE STUDENTS CREATE THEIR PROFILE, THEN THEY HAVE A DASHBOARD.
THEY CAN BUILD THEIR RESUMES, THEY CAN CREATE BRAG SHEETS, WHICH ARE GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO GIVE COUNSELORS A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION TO WHEN THEY NEED TO CREATE REFERENCE LETTERS FOR THEM WHEN THEY'RE APPLYING FOR JOBS OR IN COLLEGE.
AND THEN WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS THE CAREER EXPLORATION.
THE CAREER EXPLORATION HAS SEVERAL JOBS ALREADY PRELOADED INTO IT, AND STUDENTS CAN START EXPLORING WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A CAREER IN THAT TYPE OF FIELD.
THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN CHAT WITH.
THEY HAVE VIDEOS THAT THEY CAN WATCH, SO IT BECOMES PRETTY ROBUST.
THEY PAY HOW MANY JOBS ARE AVAILABLE, WHERE THE JOBS ARE AVAILABLE.
AND LIKE I SAID, YOU'VE GOT MENTOR VIDEOS AS WELL THAT THE STUDENTS CAN ACCESS.
[00:25:06]
AND THEN THE COLLEGE EXPLORATION.WHERE, IT'S GOT A ROBUST, I WOULD ALMOST SAY A LIMITLESS NUMBER OF COLLEGES THAT IT TRACKS DATA.
WE CAN DO VIRTUAL TOURS HERE ON THIS SCREEN.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE GRADUATION RATES ARE OR YOU CAN FAVORITE COLLEGES.
I'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT IN OUR SYSTEM.
OUR STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO GO TO APPLY TEXAS THROUGH THE SCHOOL LINKS.
SO WE'RE NOT HAVING THEM TO GO TO TO APPLY TEXAS AND THEN PUT COME BACK IN.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT A ONE STOP SHOP.
SO THERE IT IS, 500 PLUS VIRTUAL TOURS AS WELL, BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE GONE TO EVERY COLLEGE THAT MY DAUGHTER EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, BUT WE HAD SOME LIMITATIONS.
THIS HELPS KIND OF EASE SOME OF THOSE THINGS.
THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER ACTIVITIES.
BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS THAT STUDENTS CAN TAKE AND SET GOALS FOR THEMSELVES.
THERE'S AN ACTIVITY FOR THEM TO START TRACKING SMART OR CREATING SMART GOALS THAT THEY THEMSELVES CAN TRACK TOWARDS THEIR COLLEGE OR CAREER PREFERENCE THAT THE COUNSELORS CAN TRACK WITH THEM.
GOING SO FAST. I'M NOT SURE QUITE WHERE WE'RE AT.
THIS IS JUST GOING THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AS WELL.
AND I WOULDN'T SAY THEY'RE LIMITLESS, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL ACTIVITIES ALL GUIDED TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS CAN MATCH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND PUT THEM ON THE RIGHT PATHWAY TO WHAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN.
AND YOU CAN KEEP GOING THROUGH THIS.
BUT YOU CAN GO BACK AND REFERENCE THE SLIDES IN THE BLOG AS WELL.
ANOTHER NICE FEATURE, WHAT WE HAVE STUDENTS WORKING ON AND MS. GONZALEZ IS WORKING WITH IS PUTTING ALL OUR SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION ON THE SCHOOL LINKS SO IT'S ALL IN ONE PLACE AS WELL.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DOING SCHOLARSHIPS ON THE OUTSIDE.
AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ASK.
THERE WAS ONE SLIDE TALKED ABOUT TRACKING STUDENT HOURS SO WE CAN PUT VOLUNTEER HOURS IN HERE.
I KNOW THAT MAY BE A PUSH AT SOME POINT WHERE WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER HAVING STUDENTS KEEP TRACK OF THEIR VOLUNTEERING AND ENCOURAGING MORE STUDENTS TO VOLUNTEER. SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO HOUSE ALL THAT INFORMATION AS WELL.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, THE SCHOLARSHIPS FINDING, CREATING A PROFILE AND THEN MATCHING.
AS FAR AS CAREERS AND WE HAVE STUDENTS IN PRACTICUM.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE JOE HENDERSON HAS ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH AND GETTING INTO SCHOOL LENGTHS TO WORK WITH BUSINESSES TO CREATE PROFILES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO GO INTO AS WELL HERE LOCALLY SO.
AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE GREAT THING FOR SCHOOL LINKS IS IT'S A DASHBOARD FOR STUDENTS.
THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF THEIR SAT SCORES, THEIR ACT SCORES, THEIR GPA, ANY AP TESTING.
SO IT GIVES A GOOD SNAPSHOT FOR PARENTS.
SO WHERE DO YOU TALKED ABOUT SOME FINANCING? I'M A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS? I'M SURE WE WILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT WAS IN RECORD TIME, I THINK, FOR AS MANY SLIDES AS YOU HAD.
GREAT JOB. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT, I'M SORRY.
ALL RIGHT, MS. RUNKLE, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? OH, MY GOSH. THIS IS SO EXCITING.
HAVING JUST HAD A SENIOR THAT GRADUATED FROM HERE IN HAYS AND HAVING FOUR YEARS OF REALLY TRYING TO HAVE HAVE TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, AS A PARENT, YOU HAVE JUST OPENED THE DOOR TO PARENTS MORE INVOLVEMENT TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR STUDENTS, THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOL.
[00:30:07]
AND THIS IS AWESOME.I DO WANT TO ASK IF WE COULD DO A DEMO AND I IF I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN JUST EASILY BE EMAILED OR IF WE CAN DO A ZOOM, I'M HAPPY TO DO A ZOOM AS WELL, IF YOU'LL JUST LET US KNOW WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THIS WEEK, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
YEAH. LET ME GET WITH MS. GONZALES, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN FOR THAT.
AND THERE WILL BE PROBABLY MULTIPLE OPTIONS ON HOW WE CAN DO THAT.
OKAY, THIS IS GREAT, THANK YOU, DR.
WATSON AND YOUR TEAM. THIS IS AMAZING.
THANKS. OKAY, ANYTHING OVER MR. VELA? YEAH.
DR. WATSON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I KNOW THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS ACCESS TO SOME OF THIS INFORMATION, SO HOW MUCH OF THAT IS GOING TO BE LOADED FROM THE DISTRICT SIDE VERSUS THE PARENT STUDENT SIDE? SO ALL THE ACADEMIC DATA IS LOADED FROM FILES THAT WE HAVE, SUCH AS SAT SCORES, AP SCORES, GPA, THE THINGS THAT STUDENTS WILL NEED TO SELF REPORT OUR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS.
AND THERE IS SOME LINKING ON THE BACK END THERE AS WELL.
SCHOLARSHIPS, THEY MAY NEED TO SELF REPORT SOME OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED.
SOME OTHER EXAMPLES OF SELF REPORTING, FAFSA THAT IT'S BEEN COMPLETED.
SO BUT IT STILL ALLOWS OUR COUNSELORS TO BE ABLE TO RUN REPORTS MUCH QUICKER THROUGH THAT WAY BECAUSE IT'S SELF REPORTED ANYWAY AND THEY'RE HAVING TO KEEP IT ON GOOGLE SHEETS AND MULTIPLE PLACES.
THIS WAY IT'S ALL IN ONE SPOT.
THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE OVER MY LEFT? ALL RIGHT, ON MY RIGHT? I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS ON THE CCR SIDE.
I KNOW WE STARTED OUT ON THIS JOURNEY BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IS THERE AN EASY WAY FOR A PARENT OR A STUDENT TO SAY, AM I COLLEGE OR CAREER READY? I DON'T KNOW. SO THIS IS A LOT THIS IS A LOT MORE THAN I EVER EXPECTED, WHICH IS GREAT, BECAUSE LIKE MRS. RUNKLE, I'VE HAD ONE GRADUATE AND THEN I'VE GOT ONE IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO'S ALREADY WANTING TO DO ALL OF THE EXPLORATION.
BUT IS THERE AN EASY WAY FOR THE STUDENT OR PARENT TO GO ON AND SAY, YOU KNOW, AM I COLLEGE, AM I CAREER READY? YES, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THROUGH THERE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE SAT SCORES.
IT'S GOING TO SHOW THEIR AP POTENTIAL.
IT'S GOING TO SHOW THEIR AP SCORES.
OKAY. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT HOW THE STATE AND HOW WE DEFINE ARE, THEY CALL IT AND WHAT THE DATA SHOWS FRANKLY ABOUT IF YOUR COLLEGE READY WHAT THAT MEANS WHETHER ON RAMPS DUAL CREDIT AP TESTS, AP TEST SCORES, AP TEST GRADES LIKE IT'S IT'S A LOT FOR PARENTS TO REMEMBER. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A WAY.
WE GOT TO GET TO GREEN OR WE GOT EVERYONE'S USED TO FILLING THEIR CIRCLES ON THEIR FITBIT APPS.
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO JUST MAKE IT VISUALLY EASY FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO SEE AM I? DO I HAVE THIS OR NOT BEFORE THEY GRADUATE? BECAUSE I THINK THAT HELPS SETTING GOALS, RIGHT? SO KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE.
CORRECT. AND I ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE CCR, WHETHER A STUDENT HAS MET THE CRITERIA OR NOT IN TEAMS. SO WE WANT TO HAVE THAT WAS MY INTENTION PROCESSES SO PARENTS CAN FIND IT IN MULTIPLE PLACES IN CASE THEY FORGET.
BUT IF THEY'RE CHECKING THE GRADES, THEY CAN SEE IT IN TEAMS. IF THEY'RE ON THE SCHOOL LINKS WEBSITE PERUSING, THEY CAN SEE IT ON THERE AS WELL.
YEAH, THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT QUESTION.
PARENTS HAVE GOTTEN REALLY GOOD WITH TEAMS. SO THIS IS NOT TO REPLACE TEAMS, RIGHT? IT'S JUST MORE OF A SUPPLEMENT AND IT HAS A LOT MORE ROBUST FEATURES WHEN YOU'RE STARTING IN THE SECONDARY.
WHO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS? ALL STUDENTS OR ARE WE STARTING IN SIXTH GRADE? SO WE'RE STARTING OUT IN FIFTH GRADE THIS YEAR AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW THAT GOES.
WE DO KNOW THAT WE CAN HOUSE SEL LESSONS IN SCHOOL LINKS.
THERE ARE SOME PRE-POPULATED LESSONS ALREADY, BUT WE CAN DO SOME MORE TO JUST GET THE STUDENTS MORE ACCLIMATED WITH THIS PROCESS AND THINKING FORWARD AND INTERACTING WITH THE PROGRAM ITSELF.
OKAY, GREAT. WE HAVE SCHOOLOGY, SCHOOL LINKS, TEAMS.
[00:35:01]
IT'S A LOT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE TEAM ON THIS? ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A LOT OF DATA THAT WE ARE GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME REVIEWING AND WE WILL EMAIL YOU QUESTIONS AND HOPEFULLY ALSO, I'M SURE I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU ALL NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE SOME THINGS AROUND.
WE'VE GOT SOME GUESTS HERE TONIGHT.
I HOPE YOU'LL BE FLEXIBLE WITH ME.
THE FIRST ONE I'D LIKE TO MOVE IS L 12.
[L.12. Consideration and possible approval to amend the interlocal agreement with Hays/Caldwell ESD #1 to provide additional time for the construction of a fire station]
THIS IS ON PAGE 147 OF YOUR AGENDA.AND THIS IS A CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL TO AMEND THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH HAYS CALDWELL ESD NUMBER ONE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FIRE STATION. MAX CLEAVER IS HERE TO PRESENT ON THIS ITEM.
MAX CLEAVER, WELCOME TO THE PODIUM.
DR.. AND BOARD, LIKE YOU SAID ON PAGE 147, THIS ACTUALLY CAME TO THE BOARD ON DR.
WRIGHT'S FIRST BOARD MEETING FOUR YEARS AGO.
AND YOU ALL THE BOARD AT THAT TIME APPROVED AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO BUILD A FIRE STATION.
BUT MY PREDECESSOR AT THAT TIME, IT WAS SORT OF UNKNOWN EXACTLY WHEN OR EXACTLY WHERE IT WOULD BE.
SO THE NATURE OF THIS ITEM IS TO IDENTIFY THE EXACT LOCATION AND TO EXTEND THE TIME.
SO ON PAGE 149 OF THIS AGENDA ITEM, YOU CAN SEE THE ACTUAL SURVEY AND THAT 1.23 ACRE TRACT IS ON OUR PRIVATE IS ACCESSED OFF OF THE PRIVATE COUNTRY CREEK DRIVEWAY THERE BY TRANSPORTATION ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THAT'S HIGHWAY 21.
AND THAT EXISTING METAL BUILDING IS ACTUALLY OUR DATA CENTER.
AND WE DO HAVE MEMBERS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FROM TRAVIS COUNTY FIRE AND RESCUE HERE.
IF YOU ALL NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THEM.
I HAVING BEEN OUT THERE, ARE THERE OTHER FIRE STATIONS IN THAT GENERAL VICINITY? NO, MA'AM. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST IN THAT GENERAL VICINITY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
ALL RIGHT, TEAM, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO YOU GUYS.
MAX, WHEN WILL IT BE FINISHED? YES, MA'AM. SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS, BUT AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS TO GET THIS THING DONE.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THEM MRS. OROZCO AND YES, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE TIMELINE.
HI. THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME.
MY NAME IS KEN BAILEY. I'M THE FIRE CHIEF FOR TRAVIS COUNTY FIRE RESCUE, WHICH IS A CONSOLIDATED EFFORT BETWEEN CALDWELL HAYS ESD ONE AND TRAVIS COUNTY ESD 11 AND TRAVIS COUNTY, ESD 15.

OUR HOPE IS THAT IT WOULD OPEN JANUARY 2024.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE DRAWINGS AND WORKING ON THE CIVIL ENGINEERING AS WE SPEAK.
THANK YOU. AM I READING THIS RIGHT? THIS CONTRACT EXTENDS TO 2117.
YES, MA'AM. THAT'S ONE OF THOSE 100 YEAR LEASES.
BUT, ALL RIGHT, JUST MAKING SURE THAT WAS REAL.
SO WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DO WE RECEIVE FROM THE TRAVIS COUNTY EMS FIRE? WHAT SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT ARE SERVICED BY ANY CALLS THAT MAY ARISE? I COULDN'T NAME THOSE SPECIFIC SCHOOLS.
I'M SURE HE CAN. BUT ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF KYLE AND BUDA IN HAYS COUNTY, EAST OF I 35, SO THE YULIN AREA, NIEDERWALD AREA ALONG 21 AND WE BUTT UP AGAINST KYLE.
YEAH. OKAY. SO YOU ALL ARE THE FRIENDLY FACES THAT WE'LL SEE WHEN, IF AND WHEN SOMETHING ARISES.
I'M JUST. YES, FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
YES. ALL RIGHT. I'M OPTIMISTIC ANYWAYS.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, HOW BIG OF A STATION WILL THIS BE? YOU HAVE A PUMPER TRUCK AND ALL THE ALL THE BIG STUFF.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
I'M JUST GOING TO PRETEND LIKE I KNOW THE WORDS LADDER TRUCK.
CURRENTLY, OUR PLAN IS TO PUT AN ENGINE THERE.
WE ARE PUTTING A TEMPORARY FIRE STATION AT THE YULIN CITY HALL WHILE THIS IS BEING BUILT.
[00:40:02]
AND THE PURPOSE FOR THIS, BRINGING THIS TO Y'ALL WAS WE WERE ON THAT END OF THAT TERM FOR US TO BUILD.AND NOW THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN APPROVAL, WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE THAT EXTENDED SLIGHTLY.
GREAT, ALL RIGHT, WELL WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE VERY MUCH TONIGHT.
WE WILL VOTE ON THIS ITEM NEXT WEEK.
WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
WE WILL DEFINITELY EMAIL MR. CLEAVER. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
ALL RIGHT. WE ARE NEXT, GOING TO MOVE UP SOME ITEMS.
[L.15. Consideration and possible approval of the 50% construction documents (CD) for the 2022 Bond Project, Elementary School 16]
LET'S START WITH L 15.SO THIS IS A CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL.
50% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS 16.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ORDER YOURS ARE IN, BUT LOOK FOR THE GIANT 11 BY 17.
I THINK WE HAVE SOME NEW AND IMPROVED.
RIGHT. BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU JUST SKIP RIGHT TO THE TOP VIEW PAGE, WHICH IS HELPFUL, BUT I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO DO A QUICK PRESENTATION FOR US, BUT I WANT TO SEE IF THAT'S IN HERE.
JUST KEEP FLIPPING BECAUSE IT SAYS 06 AT THE BOTTOM.
FLOORPLAN, FLOORPLAN LEVEL ONE.
PAGE NUMBERS AT THE TOP 14, PAGE 14 AT THE TOP.

WE'RE ALMOST TO PUTTING OUT THE BIDS THAT ARE DOCUMENTS.
WE'RE REAL CLOSE. IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
BUT WE WANTED TO COME BACK ONE MORE TIME, SHOW YOU THE UPDATES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE OF THE PROJECT, SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM Y'ALL AND FROM THE FBOC, AS WELL AS THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING TO TRY TO KEEP THIS PROJECT UNDER BUDGET.
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND SKIP AHEAD.
WE WON'T PUT THROUGH ALL THE NARRATIVE AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO THE SIGHT PLAN COMPARED TO WHAT YOU SAW LAST TIME ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED.
SO UNLESS ANYBODY'S GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING OUT THERE, THE STRATEGY IS STILL VERY MUCH THE SAME WITH THE BUSSES COMING IN THE FRONT, THE PARENTS TAKING THE LONG LOOP AROUND THE BACK, GIVING YOU A PLENTY OF QUEUING SPACE TO TRY TO GET PARENT CARS OFF THE STREET, WHICH IS IDEAL.
HAVE WE WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPER ABOUT ADA SIDEWALKS FOR CROSSWALK PURPOSES? ON THIS ONE, NOT YET BUT BUT WE WILL.
WE WILL. THAT'S NOT GOING TO TRIP US UP AGAIN, IS IT? AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'LL TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AT THE CENTER OF THE INTERSECTIONS WHERE POSSIBLE.
MR. CLEAVER, CAN YOU GET ON THE MIC AND SAY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WORKED HARD, JASON.
I REMEMBER YOU SAYING TO LINE UP THIS DRIVE WITH THIS STREET.
CORRECT. AND THEN ON THE ON THE CROSSWALKS, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN'T HAVE THAT DEVELOPER PUT THEM IN ON THE CORNER WHERE YOU WOULD TRADITIONALLY SEE THEM INSTEAD OF SORT OF FURTHER BACK ON THE RADIUS.
SO MR. CLEAVER'S ON THE RECORD.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE PLAN AS WE SEE IT HERE ON PAGE 11? MRS. OROSCO.
HAVE WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK YET FROM THE STAFF OF SUNFIELD? I KNOW IT'S STILL EARLY ON, BUT IS THAT TRICKLING IN OR YOU DO HAVE A CONCRETE DATE OF WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO MEET WITH THEM TO TALK ABOUT FEEDBACK ON WHAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING NOW THAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO THE USE OF THE SPACE.
EVERYBODY WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT WE HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED IN OCTOBER.
IT WON'T BE TOO LATE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO WORK ALL THAT STUFF INTO THIS PROJECT.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TOO LATE, RIGHT? I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED WHEN I WAS THERE FOR THE FIVE K THIS PAST WEEKEND IS THE HUGE AMOUNT OF WASTED SPACE WHERE THE RESTROOM IS BY THE
[00:45:03]
CAFETERIA. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ALMOST A CLASSROOM SIZE.THERE'S JUST SINKS THAT GO AROUND THE PERIMETER AND SOME WERE NOT EVEN WORKING.
THEY WERE OUT OF ORDER ALREADY.
AND THERE'S JUST SO MUCH WASTED SPACE.
I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT SO YOU CAN MAYBE LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE A, I KNOW THAT THEY'RE CALLED GANG, NOT RESTROOMS, BUT WE LIKE GROUP BETTER. YES. THOSE SINKS THAT THEY HAVE IN OTHER SCHOOLS WHERE IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW THERE'S THINGS ALL AROUND AND THAT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE INSTEAD OF HAVING ALL THOSE THINGS IN THE PERIMETER, JUST THE COST DIFFERENCE OR JUST LOOKING AT THAT PLAN AGAIN, BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMED REALLY WASTED.
ALL THAT SPACE, ESPECIALLY WHEN SPACE IS CRITICAL.
WE'VE GOTTEN MIXED RESPONSES BACK ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S A BENEFIT OR A DETRIMENT.
TALKING WITH THE PRINCIPAL, THAT'S SORT OF A PLACE WHEN YOU'RE BRINGING A WHOLE CLASS OUT AND TAKING THEM INTO THE RESTROOM, IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET THOSE KIDS OUT OF THE CORRIDOR SO YOU'RE NOT BLOCKING THE PASSING TRAFFIC.
SO RIGHT NOW, THAT'S STILL LISTED IN THE CVO LOG AS A PENDING ITEM.
GREAT. SO IN OCTOBER, YOU'LL PROBABLY HEAR MORE ABOUT IT LIKE, IS THIS SPACE REALLY BEING UTILIZED? IS IT REALLY HELPFUL OR CAN WE DO AWAY WITH IT AND DO SOMETHING ELSE, RIGHT? OK YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW IS THE DATES ON THAT.
SO YOU CAN PROVIDE THE EXACT DATE AND WHO WILL BE THERE AT THAT MEETING, LIKE, IS IT ALL THE STAFF? IS IT AT A FACULTY MEETING? BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT AT A FACULTY MEETING AND YOU'RE REQUIRING STAFF TO GO TO ANOTHER MEETING, YOU MIGHT NOT REALLY CAPTURE ALL THOSE VOICES.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO DEFINITELY GET THAT INFORMATION LATER.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT MS. OROZCO, WILL YOU PLEASE CAPTURE YOUR QUESTIONS THAT WE GET TONIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO RECAP THOSE LATER.
I'M USING MY NEW GOOGLE FORM TO DO THAT.
PERFECT. YES, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW? WE WE'RE STILL ON THE SITE PLAN.
CORRECT. SO ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SITE PLAN OVER HERE ON MY LEFT? MR. VELA. YEAH.
ABOUT HOW MANY BUSSES IS THAT AND HOW DOES THAT IF YOU WERE TO QUEUE ALL THE BUSSES, HOW MUCH SPACE DOES THAT TAKE OF THAT PARKING LOT? WELL, THE HOPE WILL BE THEY'LL BE VERY, VERY FEW BUSSES AND WE'LL HAVE MOSTLY WALKERS OR BIKE RIDERS.
AS FAR AS HOW MANY QUEUE THERE, IT'S THE SIMILAR LOOP TO SUN FIELD.
YES, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM FROM CYPRESS FOREST.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM FROM TEN AT A TIME.
YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE OVER HERE ON MY LEFT, MS. RUNKLE. WE'RE JUST ON THE SITE PLAN.
WE GOT A LOT MORE PAGES TO GO.
I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE BUSSES.
MS. OROSCO. JUST ON THAT BUS FACE, YOU SAID TEN BIT LIKE JUST ONE LINE.
YEAH, THIS IS NOT SET UP FOR THAT.
SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO DOUBLE LINE.
THERE ACTUALLY IS AN OPTION TO DO IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NEEDED BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND EVERYTHING.
SO IT'S NOT JUST WALKING DISTANCE.
SO WE'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ON FOR SURE.
ONCE WE GET WHAT ONES WE REZONE AND KNOW WHAT STUDENTS WILL BE ATTENDING, THEN WE'LL GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING FOR OUR BEST SITUATION, CORRECT, SO THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT AT A LATER DATE AFTER REZONING.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO CAPTURE THAT QUESTION, BUT I'LL PUT ON THERE AFTER REZONING.
[00:50:02]
BUT TEN BUSSES SOUNDS LIKE PLENTY TO ME, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU WILL HAVE SOME WALKERS, BUT I KNOW WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE SOME BUSSES COMING IN HERE.OK, WE'LL MOVE ON JASON NOW TO PAGE 12, I HOPE.
YES. SO THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR PLAN.
AGAIN, IT SHOULD LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT Y'ALL SEEN IN THE PAST.
I THINK WE POINTED THAT OUT. WHEN YOU ARE WALKING AROUND THAT THAT'S NO LONGER IN THE PROJECT SAVED US QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND WE GOT GENERAL FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS THAT THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO REMOVE THOSE SPACES.
WE HAVE A DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL SYSTEM IN THIS PROJECT.
SO PREVIOUSLY WE HAD STEEL AND THIS ONE WE HAVE INSIDE A CONCRETE FORMS. WHICH IS BASICALLY KIND OF LIKE CONCRETE BLOCKS WITH STYROFOAM AROUND THEM.
BUT WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THAT IS THAT SOME OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WE NEED TO BRACE THAT ISN'T NECESSARY.
BUT WE STILL HAVE PLC ROOMS FOR ALL OF OUR GRADE LEVELS.
SO THE PROGRAMMATIC SPACES HAVEN'T CHANGED.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING THAT THE COMPUTER LABS ARE NOW CALLED FLEX CLASSROOMS. OKAY. THOSE ARE TWO ON YOUR PLAN.
THAT'S TO THE RIGHT OF THE LIBRARY.
MM HMM. AND THE IDEA IS, IS THAT WE DON'T BRING KIDS TO THE TECHNOLOGY.
AND JUST TO POINT OUT TEAM THAT SPACE THAT MR. OROSCO IS TALKING ABOUT, IF YOU LOOK KIND OF AT THE GYM, THE BLUE SPACE AND THE DINING AREA ON THE GREEN RIGHT OUTSIDE, THERE'S THE PURPLE RESTROOMS, AND THEN THERE'S THAT KIND OF LARGE SPACE THAT SHE'S REFERRING TO.
SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT THE TEACHERS THINK BECAUSE I KIND OF HAD THE SAME THOUGHT.
MAYBE THAT'S SOMEWHERE WE CAN SAVE SOME SPACE.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? POINT OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DID HAVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE FBOC.
THE RESTROOM THAT USED TO BE BEHIND THE RECEPTION IS ACTUALLY NOW OFF THE WAITING AREA SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE VISITORS THAT COME IN, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO BEHIND THE RECEPTION AREA IN ORDER TO ACCESS THAT.
AND THEY HAVE IT RIGHT THERE AT THE WAITING AREA.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ADMIN WING RIGHT ABOVE THE ELECTRICAL ROOM.
RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE PRINCIPAL, RIGHT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.
GREAT. AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE.
I MEAN, WE DID SHRINK LIKE A COUPLE OF CORRIDOR WIDTHS BY LIKE A FOOT.
AGAIN, TALKING WITH THE DISTRICT, NOBODY HAD ANY CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THOSE WIDTH SHRINKING DOWN.
SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO TRYING TO SAVE MONEY.
GREAT, MS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE RESTROOM SITUATION THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SO THERE IS STILL A RESTROOM FOR, LIKE, OFFICE STAFF IN THAT OFFICE AREA, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL A DIFFERENT RESTROOM FOR PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE WAITING.
SO WE ACTUALLY, IN ORDER TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER, WE ACTUALLY MADE ALL THE RESTROOMS PURPLE.
OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE TO STAY IN THE VESTIBULE.
RIGHT. BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT UNLESS YOU GET WRAPPED IT IN BECAUSE IT'S LOCKED.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY A PROCEDURAL THING.
WE'LL NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT THAT RESTAURANT STAYS LOCKED OR NOT.
BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT CAN BE.
[00:55:02]
OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO TALK TO JERRY ABOUT, TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO HAVE BADGE ACCESS ONLY.YEAH, I DO THINK IT WOULD BE CONVENIENT IF YOU WERE WAITING THERE TO HAVE THAT.
WELL, THE INTENT IS TO PROVIDE THAT CONVENIENCE WITHOUT ALLOWING FURTHER ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING.
AND I'M JUST HERE FOR A QUICK MEETING.
I SAW HIS HAND FIRST, AND THEN I'LL COME BACK TO YOU, MR. VELA. YEAH.
IF IT'S NOT A CLASSROOM, WHAT IS IT AGAIN? IT'LL JUST, THERE WILL BE NO BUILDING THERE.
AND THEIR POSITION THAT OBVIOUSLY FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR WOULD.
YES, SIR. CLASSROOMS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AT EACH ONE OF THOSE RED BOXES.
AND IF I MEAN, IF NEEDED, IF WE JUST WANTED THREE OF THOSE CLASSROOMS, COULD WE DO THREE ON THE FIRST LEVEL AND NOT DO THE ONES ON THE ON THE SECOND LEVEL? YOU COULD. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE BEEN HAVING THEM PRICED UP IN PAIRS OF TWO EACH, THINKING THAT YOU WOULD BUILD THE TWO ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
BUT NOTHING TO SAY THAT WE COULDN'T DO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AS WELL.
SINCE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TOILETS, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
DO WE NOW INCLUDE THOSE IN THOSE NOT IN THE KID COMMUNITY RESTROOMS, BUT THE OTHER ONES THAT IS INCLUDED IN THERE? YEAH, THAT WAITING AREA WILL HAVE THAT WAITING AREA, ONE WILL HAVE A DIAPER.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT WITH THIS PLAN RIGHT IN THE CAFETERIA, BUT THEY'RE VERY CLOSE.
SORRY, THAT'S THE LIBRARY AND THE CAFETERIA.
THE CLOSEST ONE WOULD BE ACTUALLY IN THE ADMIN AREA.
SO YOU'RE RIGHT. SO THAT WAITING ROOM.
SO THAT WILL HAVE A CHANGING STATION.
IT WILL. YES, THAT ONE. GREAT.
ANYTHING ELSE ON PAGE 12? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO 13, JASON, IS ANYTHING NEW AND DIFFERENT ON THIS PAGE.
OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU ALL SAW IT LAST TIME.
ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GETTING OUR CAPACITY TO 866, THAT'S THE PLAN? ACTUALLY, SORRY, I ACTUALLY MEANT TO HIT ON THAT.
AND SO HE AND I ACTUALLY HAD A CONVERSATION AS RECENTLY AS TODAY ABOUT NAILING DOWN THE PHILOSOPHY OF HOW THE BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO BE USED, UTILIZATION RATES, HOW MANY KIDS ARE GOING TO GO IN EACH CLASSROOM, AND WE'LL NAIL DOWN THOSE NUMBERS TO THE FINAL CAPACITIES THAT YOU GUYS CAN USE TO SHARE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING.
THAT WAS WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU.
JUST GIVE US A ROOM BETWEEN 850 AND NINE.
OKAY. AND IT DEPENDS ON, OBVIOUSLY, WHETHER OR NOT THE ALTERNATES ARE TAKEN AS WELL.
AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE HAVING TO BE VERY FLEXIBLE AND AGILE IN THIS CURRENT CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
ALL RIGHT, MR. VELA. ALL RIGHT.
OBVIOUSLY, IT LOOKS LIKE THE OLDER KIDS WOULD BE IN THE SECOND LEVEL.
THE NUMBER OF RESTROOMS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES.
IS THAT PROPORTIONATE TO LIKE WHAT? WHAT FIGURE DO WE USE TO SAY WE NEED SO MANY NUMBER OF RESTROOMS PER STUDENTS? YES. SO IT'S ACTUALLY BASED OFF OF CALCULATIONS THAT WE DO OUT OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE OR INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON PAGE 13? AND WE DO NOTICE THAT IT GOES FROM INDIVIDUAL RESTROOMS KIND OF IN THE CLASSROOMS VERSUS ON THE UPPER GRADE LEVELS.
WE'VE GOT SOME MORE GROUP LARGER RESTROOMS. THAT'S CORRECT, SO THAT'S VERY COMMON AT THE YOUNGER GRADES THAT THEY HAVE, THE RESTROOMS IN THE CLASSROOMS, THE LOWER GRADES, THEY DON'T NEED IT.
SO THOSE GROUP RESTROOMS GET USED ON THE GROUND FLOOR AS WELL.
OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO POINT OUT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16?
[01:00:04]
I DON'T THINK SO. YOU KNOW, WE DID UPDATE THE THE RENDERING ON PAGE 16.I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
CAN YOU GO TO PAGE 14? JUST TO SHOW YOU ALL THAT WE PROVIDE, PROVIDED 14 AND 15 ARE MY FAVORITE PAGES.
SO YEAH, BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMENTS OR THINGS I WANT YOU TO SOLICIT FOR AND THIS MAY BE MORE ON THE FF&E SIDE, MAX, IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE CLASSROOMS AT SUN FIELD, THE CABINETS VERSUS THE COUNTERS VERSUS WHERE THE DESKS ARE.
SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THESE KIND OF TOP SIDE VIEWS FOR THIS.
MRS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES. AND WHEN YOU GET THIS FEEDBACK, MAKING SURE THAT JERRY IS PRESENT BECAUSE I KNOW A HUGE THING WAS THE DESK AND WHERE ALL THE CONNECTIONS WERE AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE, OH, I WISH MY CONNECTION WAS OVER HERE, WHICH WAS OUT OF THE SITE THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE FOR SAFETY REASONS AND SECURITY.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT JERRY IS AWARE OF THESE MEETINGS.
SO WHEN THEY DO SAY, I WISH MY DESK WAS LIKE IN THIS CORNER HIDDEN, THEN SHE CAN EXPLAIN, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ASKING THE BUILDER TO HAVE THEM IN A CERTAIN AREA BECAUSE OF THE LINE OF SIGHT AND FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY REASONS.
ABSOLUTELY. AND I COULD I COULD TALK.
SO IT'S ALWAYS A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.
SO. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON IN THIS BOOK THAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO SPECIFICALLY CHANGES? PAGE 16 I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THIS RENDERING.
IT WON'T LOOK HUGELY DIFFERENT, BUT AGAIN, AS A COST SAVING MEASURE, WE REDUCE THE ROOF HEIGHT OF THE LIBRARY AND THE CLEAR STORY IS NO LONGER THERE ABOVE THE WINDOW OR ABOVE THE TOP OF THE WALL.
WE'VE INSTEAD PUT IN SOLAR TUBES, SO WE'RE STILL GETTING NATURAL LIGHT DOWN INTO THE SPACE.
BUT THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT OF THAT THAT ELEMENT.
BUT AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE AN IMPRESSIVE SPACE WHEN IT'S BUILT.
GREAT. YEAH. SO LOOKS VERY LARGE AND BRIGHT.
SO THAT IS ALL. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.
OKAY, TEAM. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE, MRS. OROSCO? I HAVE A QUESTION ON PAGE 18.
SO WHEN I SAW THAT LAST TIME, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT IT TOO, AND I HAD TALKED TO AN FOC MEMBER AND SAID, HEY, CAN YOU BRING THIS UP? WHY IS IT FOR THE CLASSROOM ENTRY PORTAL? YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE KINDRED IN SECOND GRADE GROUP PRE CAME FIFTH GRADE, FIRST GRADE AND THIRD AND THEN FOURTH GRADE HAVING THEIR OWN COLOR.
IT'S A BIG DEAL, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF ELEMENTARY.
WHY WOULDN'T THEY GET THEIR OWN COLOR INSTEAD OF BEING GROUPED WITH PRE-K? SO SOMETHING THINKING ABOUT HOW TO ANSWER ME, I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE AS A TEACHER OF TEACHING PRE-K, I TAUGHT FOURTH GRADE.
I KNOW MY KIDS LOOK FORWARD TO BEING FIFTH GRADE AND BEING SPECIAL AS FIFTH GRADERS.
SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AND CONSIDER.
OKAY. THANK YOU. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
THIS SCHOOL IS NOT THE EASIEST TO NAVIGATE, WHICH I APPRECIATE JUST HAVING BEEN IN OUR CAMPUSES.
THE PROTOTYPE, THE PREVIOUS PROTOTYPE THAT WE'VE BEEN IN FOR SO LONG, AND I'M A BIG FAN OF WAYFINDING AND I FEEL LIKE COLORS ARE A REALLY GOOD WAY FOR TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY, TO HAVE SOME WAYFINDING.
DEFINITELY GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT.
AWESOME. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
OKAY. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
ANYTHING ELSE TEAM? WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE OF THESE TO GO.
YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
I KNOW IN CABINET TODAY, MAX, WE WERE DISCUSSING WHAT WE WOULD TITLE THIS CAMPUS.
THAT WAY, THERE'S NOT ANY ANY CONFUSION.
IT'S NOT TIED TO NEGLEY IN ANY WAY.
SO WE'LL JUST CALL IT ELEMENTARY 16 FOR THE RECORD.
THAT'LL BE EASY FOR ME BECAUSE I ACTUALLY STRUGGLE TO KEEP PUTTING NEGLEY ON THE EMAILS AND STUFF.
SO I THINK OF IT AS ELEMENTARY 16.
GOT IT TEAM? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE WALLACE UP NEXT.
Y'ALL HAVE NEW BOOKS FOR US ON L 15.
[L.16. Consideration and possible approval of the design development (DD) for the 2022 Bond improvements to Wallace Middle School]
[01:05:01]
SO PAGE 156.THIS, WE'RE CHANGING ARCHITECTURE RIGHT QUICK.
YEP. WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE ARCHITECTS.
AND Y'ALL DO HAVE THE WALLACE PACKET IS IN YOUR IN YOUR..
YES, SORRY I HAD TO MOVE MY ALREADY USED ONE REPLACEMENT FOR.
SO THIS ONE IS THIS TEAM? YEAH, IT STILL 11 BY 17, BUT IT'S O'CONNELL ROBERTSON.
AND LET US KNOW WHO IS WITH US TONIGHT, MR. CLEAVER. MA'AM, LET US KNOW WHO IS WITH US TONIGHT.
YOU'RE HERE WITH US. HEY, JARED, THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.
WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS GETTING SOME UPGRADES HERE AND WE HAVE SOME.
JARED, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT AWAY? OR MR. CLEAVER, TELL US WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE.
LIVE OAK HIGH SCHOOL. SORRY, SORRY, ACADEMY.
SO IT'S CONTINUING THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE FROM THE PREVIOUS ITERATION.
WE HAVE GOTTEN SOME INPUT FROM BARTLETT COCKE AS WELL AS THE TEACHERS, AND THIS IS REALLY THE PHASE IN WHERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION PROCESS WHERE I'LL SAY WE'VE COLLECTED THE INPUT, WE'RE REALLY GENERATING THE BLUEPRINTS FOR CONSTRUCTION DURING THAT TIME GRADES.
GREAT. AND WE ARE DOING A BLACK BOX OVER THERE, SOME CAFETERIA UPGRADES.
YES, MA'AM. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SHEET HERE, SO JUST THE OVERALL SITE PLAN SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH OVERALL IN THE CAMPUS, REALLY LOOKING AT THE ADDITIONS THERE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE BACK SIDE FOR THE KITCHEN.
AND THEN IF YOU'LL GO TO THE NEXT SHEET HERE, THIS IS THE OVERALL PLAN.
THIS MIMICS VERY MUCH WHAT IS HAPPENING AT DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AS YOU WORK TOWARDS THE CENTER, YOU'LL SEE THAT WHERE THE W IS LOCATED AT, THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE THE STAIR STEPPED ENTRY OR A STAIR STEPPED SEATING THAT WILL BE REMOVED AND OPEN UP FOR A CONTINUOUS CAFETERIA SPACE.
AND THEN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN DAHLSTROM HERE WE'RE EXPANDING THE EXISTING CAFETERIA BACK TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE FULL SERVING LINES HERE AT THIS SCHOOL RATHER THAN RELOCATING THE CAFETERIA.
THERE'S MORE SPACE ON THE SITE THAN THERE WAS AT DAHLSTROM.
AND THEN FINALLY THE TWO SQUARES AT THE BOTTOM CENTER ARE ADMINISTRATION.
ARE THEY GETTING THAT REALLY NICE CLINIC LIKE DAHLSTROM GOT? IT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT YES, THEY ARE ADDRESSING ALL OF THOSE SPACES.
OKAY. AND THEN AS WELL KEPT HERE, THE GYM, WE'RE REPLACING THE CEILING.
REPLACING THE CEILING AND THEN WE'RE ALSO DOING THE BLEACHERS, THE BLEACHER REPLACEMENT AS WELL.
THAT'S THAT WAS AN ALTERNATE AND WE MADE SURE THAT GOT INCLUDED MS. OROSCO. OKAY.
WE HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS JUST BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS.
WHAT ARE THE STARK DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE DOING AT WALLACE AND WHAT WE DID AT DAHLSTROM? BECAUSE THEY ARE SORT OF SISTER CAMPUSES, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW THAT.
NUMBER ONE IS THE CLASSROOM ADDITION.
ARE THEY? ARE YOU DOING THAT THEATER ROOM OFF OF THE CAFETERIA LIKE THEY DID AT DAHLSTROM? WE REPLACED THE KITCHEN. CORRECT.
WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. IT'S DIFFERENT.
OKAY. THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS.
BECAUSE WHEN WE WALK IT, WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE, WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN DAHLSTROM? WHAT'S GOING ON? OKAY.
BUT IT CAN IT COULD BE WE DON'T HAVE THE LAND.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CAPACITY CHALLENGES.
WALLACE THAT WE HAVE AT DAHLSTROM.
WHEN WE DID THE MR. CLEAVER SPEAKING TO THE MICROPHONE, WE ALSO DID A MATRIX EARLY ON WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE SIX, SIX MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND THE SIX DIFFERENT FINE ART TYPES, AND WE FILLED THE GAPS WHERE OF WHERE THERE WASN'T A SPACE AVAILABLE AT THAT CAMPUS.
ALL RIGHT. MS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? YES, I DO. AND THAT'S DEFINITELY A QUESTION THAT I REALLY WANT TO ANSWER.
[01:10:02]
LIKE IN WRITING, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAN AND THE WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAN? AND TAKING ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, YOU KNOW, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OR THE GROWTH THERE AND SO ON, THAT'S FINE.THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC HAVING THAT ONE AREA FOR THE CAFETERIA SPACE INSTEAD OF THAT TIERED LEVELS.
WHAT I DID NOTICE THAT I WAS TOLD THAT THAT STAGE WAS NOT GOING TO BE REPLACED.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO I HAD A QUESTION IN MY MIND, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE WE DOING PROJECTS, REDOING EVERYTHING BUT LEAVING ONE OLD THING THERE? RIGHT. OR ONE CENTERPIECE THERE? AND MAX, MAYBE YOU CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
I'M GOING TO REDO THE WHOLE THING.
SO IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT THE STAGE WAS LEFT INTACT AND IT'S THAT OLD STAGE.
OKAY. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT OTHER THAN IN A RENOVATION, YOU KNOW, WHERE DO YOU STOP? YOU'VE GOT TO STOP SOMEWHERE.
AND WELL, THAT'S THE CENTERPIECE OF THAT CAFETERIA.
RIGHT. SO THAT WASN'T TALKED ABOUT OR DISCUSSED AT FBOC OR WITH ANYBODY? I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS.
OKAY. SO IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT WALLACE AS WELL? AND HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO DO THAT CENTERPIECE OF THE CAFETERIA, WHICH IS YOUR STAGE? WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT IT AND TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT IT AND SEE SEE WHAT THE PRICE WOULD BE ON THAT.
JUST TO REFINISH IT, I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY IT'S INCREMENTAL IN THE COST OF $12 MILLION PROJECT.
OKAY. YEAH, IF YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION ON WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE, WHETHER IT IS JUST THE FACE OR IF IT'S THERE IS OTHER ISSUES THERE AS WELL.
THANK YOU. YEAH, BECAUSE YOU MAY IF YOU START LOOKING AT THE STAGE, YOU'RE GOING TO START LOOKING AT LIGHTS AND CURTAINS AND SOUND SYSTEMS AND WHERE DO YOU STOP? AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO AN OVERHAUL, WE'RE ALL IN 100% OR WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO PATCHWORK.
AND I MEAN, I DON'T WANT PATCHWORK.
ANYTHING ELSE ON OUR WALLACE PLANS IN FRONT OF US.
ANYTHING ELSE, MR. CLEAVER, YOU WANT TO POINT OUT? COULD YOU GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THEN THE REHEARSAL ABOVE IT DANCE AND THEN ANOTHER REHEARSAL.
SO YOU'VE GOT THE THEATER ROOM ON THE BOTTOM, THEN A REHEARSAL, THEN DANCE AND THEN REHEARSAL.
AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S BASICALLY IT FOR WALLACE.
MRS. RUNKLE, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH MRS. OROSCO, DID YOU CAPTURE THAT QUESTION? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
[L.17. Consideration and possible approval of the schematic design (SD) for the 2022 Bond Project Academic Support Center]
THIS IS ON PAGE 158.YOU ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT SIZED PACKET.
IT'S KIND OF EIGHT AND A HALF BY 11 AND HAVE A THICKER PACKET LIKE THIS.
EVERYONE HAS THIS ONE? WE HAVE.. AND WE HAVE NEW ONES COMING [INAUDIBLE].
SPENCER, IS SPENCER DOING THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT? WE'RE KIND OF TAG TEAMING IT.
ALL THREE OF OUR ARCHITECTS ARE HERE TONIGHT, MR. CLEAVER IT'S A VERY EXCITING, LOTS OF PROJECTS GOING ON.
WHO'S PRESENTING ON THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER ITEM? OKAY, JARED, GO AHEAD.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY LOOK AT THIS.
SO THIS MIMICS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED IN THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN NARRATIVE.
SO AGAIN, JARED STERZINGER WITH O'CONNOR ROBERTSON AND THEN WE HAVE MR. STEPHEN BUTLER WITH A&E DESIGN GROUP JOINING US, AND THEN SPENCER BERGLUND, WHO'S BEEN WORKING THROUGH HERE DAY TO DAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.
[01:15:03]
ACADEMIC SERVICE CENTER TO THE DISTRICT.THIS IS INCLUDED OVER 50 MEETINGS, 75 STAKEHOLDERS.
WRIGHT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENTS.
AND ULTIMATELY, WE'RE WORKING TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAXIMIZING THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING FOR THE DISTRICT FROM COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACES, SUPPORTING CURRENT AND FUTURE STAFF, AND THEN AS WELL WORKING WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS.
AS YOU LOOK ON THE NEXT PAGE HERE, WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR TEAM AS WE WORK THROUGH HERE.
SO YOU'LL SEE THE TEAM THAT'S BEEN INCLUDED.
I WON'T NECESSARILY DRILL DOWN WITHIN THAT.
AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE FOURTH PAGE, THIS REALLY THEN REPRESENTS THE SITE PLAN.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE IMAGE YOU SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN AS WELL OF REALLY STARTED TO WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PRESENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS CARRIED AS YOU APPROACH 35, THAT HAS AN IDENTIFIABLE ENTRANCE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY LOCATED JUST BEHIND THE EXISTING BUILDINGS AS THEY STAND RIGHT NOW.
SO WE HAVE THE SITE, THE PARKING, THERE'S BUS AND TRAILER PARKING AS WELL TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT.
AND THEN AT THE TOP LEFT, WE'RE EXPANDING THE EXISTING TECHNOLOGY CENTER TO HOUSE THE DISTRICTS, NOT AS WELL AS SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY STAFF THERE AT THOSE, FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
THIS IS THE PROGRAM FOR THE MAIN ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
WE ALSO HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY CENTER.
ULTIMATELY, WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THERE, THERE ARE SUMMARIES OF CURRENT AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES.
BUT OVERALL, I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 86,000 SQUARE EIGHT, 81,000 SQUARE FEET THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS.
NEXT PAGE, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO SPENCER.
SO IN THAT SPACE SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL HAVE TWO RECEPTIONISTS AND A PRIVATE RESTROOM.
ZONE ONE IS THE SUPERINTENDENT SPACE.
UP ON THE TOP RIGHT, ZONE FOUR IS YOUR OPERATIONS.
ZONE FIVE IS YOUR HR DEPARTMENT.
IN THAT CENTRAL SEVEN AREA, ONE THING I WANT TO TOUCH ON IS THAT THERE IS A CENTRAL STAIRCASE KIND OF LISTED OUT ON THE RIGHT THERE AND THAT CONNECTS BOTH THE LOWER LEVEL AND THE UPPER LEVEL AS WELL.
WE WANT TO SWITCH TO THE UPPER LEVEL, KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS A RUN THROUGH THERE.
WHEN YOU KIND OF COME UP THOSE STEPS, YOU'RE IN ZONE 11.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THESE OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE CONNECTING.
AGAIN, A BIG THING THAT WE WANTED TO DRIVE HOME HERE WHERE THINGS WE HEARD WE'RE VERY CONNECTED, KIND OF REPRESENTING TEAM HAYS AND HAVING A VERY SECURE SPACE TO GET THEIR WORK DONE. OKAY.
I'M GOING TO STOP YOU THERE IF I HAVE QUESTIONS THAT I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE PROBABLY DO, TOO.
SO I'LL OPEN IT UP ON MY, YOU WANT TO GO HERE FIRST, YOU WANT ME TO GO HERE FIRST? MR. VELA, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH, OBVIOUSLY A FIRST FLOOR, SECOND FLOOR.
DO WE HAVE AN ELEVATOR PLANNED ANYWHERE? THERE IS AN ELEVATOR, SO RIGHT, KIND OF TO THE RIGHT OF NUMBER SIX, THERE IS AN ELEVATOR AND IT'S ACCESSED FROM THE SECURE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
ANYTHING OVER HERE ELSE ON MY LEFT, AND WE'LL, I'LL COME BACK IF I NEED TO.
DO YOU NEED A MINUTE OR YOU WANT ME TO GO? OKAY, MRS. OROSCO.
SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL HERE WHERE THE RESTROOMS ARE.
[01:20:03]
YOU SEEN THAT GUY KIND OF SOUTH OF THE STAIRS? YES. YEAH.SO IT'S JUST ONE CENTRAL CORE.
WE'VE ALSO DONE THE CALCULATIONS THERE AND WE ACTUALLY ADDED AN EXTRA FIXTURE IN THOSE.
SO IT'S STACKED ON THE MAIN LEVEL.
AND THERE'S ONE THE SECOND LEVEL AS WELL.
SO HOW MANY RESTROOMS DO YOU HAVE HERE? YEAH, SO THERE'S FOUR FIXTURES IN EACH.
AND THEN AS WELL AS YOU HAVE YOUR ONE PRIVATE RESTROOM WHEN YOU ENTER THAT NUMBER SIX ZONE.
WELL, I DEFINITELY WOULD WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT.
I WOULD JUST NOTE JUST VERY SIMILAR.
WE'RE MEETING THE BUILDING. JARED, CAN YOU GET ON THE MICROPHONE? SORRY. WE ARE MEETING THE BUILDING CODE AND PLUMBING CODE REQUIREMENTS.
SO WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL OCCUPANCY NOT ONLY OF THE SUITE BUT AS WELL AS IN THE, I'LL SAY, THE ASSEMBLY FUNCTION OF THE BOARD ROOM AND DETERMINING THE PLUMBING FIXTURE CALCULATIONS FROM THAT.
SO YOU DO HAVE THE MAIN RESTROOM, YOU HAVE ONE, I'LL SAY, ON THE UNSECURE SIDE, AND THEN THERE'S ONE AS WELL ON THE KIND OF BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT SUITE AS WELL TO BE ABLE TO HAVE PRIVACY DURING EVENING EVENTS.
SO THAT'S SO IN THE SUPERINTENDENT SUITE, THERE'S ONLY TWO.
YES, BUT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING WITHIN THE BUILDING.
OK, SO I HAVE GONE TO A LOT OF BOARD ROOMS. I TRAVEL ALL OVER THE STATE OF TEXAS AND LOOK AT ALL KINDS OF BOARDROOMS. SO I HAVE TALKED TO MAX ABOUT THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT HAVE WORKED AND HAVEN'T WORKED.
AND HAVING RESTROOMS AVAILABLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE SHORT BREAKS, RIGHT? AS BOARD MEMBERS, THERE'S A TEAM OF EIGHT AND THERE'S TWO RESTROOMS AND WE HAVE A SHORT BREAK.
SO WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.
YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THINGS RIGHT.
AND THAT IS GOING TO FAIR OUR EMPLOYEES RIGHT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS.
SO I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESTROOM SITUATION.
WE ALSO HAVE LIKE IN BOARDROOMS THAT I HAVE SEEN, THEY HAVE CUBBIES FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO SECURE THEIR COATS AND PURSES AND ALL OF THAT THAT THEY HAVE USUALLY BEHIND THE BOARD ROOM.
AND I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT SHOWN HERE.
SO THAT'S WHY IT MIGHT BE EARLY IF YOU FLIP TWO PAGES.
WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT LEVEL.
SO I WANT YOU TO START THINKING ABOUT CUBBIES.
I HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY NICE SECURE AREAS FOR ALL OUR STUFF.
SO THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOARD DAISES.
IS THAT A SMALL ONE AND A LARGE ONE? YOU JUST HAVE YOUR ONE SINGULAR ONE FIXED.
THEY HAVE A MORE FORMAL WAY TO DO THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE IN TRAINING EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT ON THE DIAS FOR A TRAINING OR A WORKSHOP OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
SO SOMETHING TO LOOK AT AS WELL, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S JUST TABLES, IT'S EASY, SO IT'S NOTHING EXPENSIVE OR A STRUCTURED PIECE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU THAT FLEXIBILITY BETWEEN HAVING THOSE INFORMAL TEAM OF EIGHT MEETINGS OR TRAININGS AND THEN A MORE FORMAL SETTING AS WELL, WHICH I AM TOTALLY OPPOSED TO DAISES.
I JUST HATE THAT, YOU KNOW, BEING ABOVE ANYBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW.
SO HOPEFULLY I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE ALL GOING TO WORK IT, BUT JUST SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER.
AND AS YOU MOVE FURTHER ALONG, I JUST WANT YOU TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING.
WE CAN'T ADD RESTROOMS OR WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE THAT.
[01:25:05]
SOMETHING ELSE THAT THE BORDER WILL FUNCTION AS IS A VOTING SPACE.HANG ON, I HAVE QUESTIONS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW, MR. VELA? SO, YEAH, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY IT GIVES ME A GOOD VISUAL.
BUT JUST IN RELATION TO THE BOARDROOM WHERE AND NOW WHAT'S THE SIZE DIFFERENCE ROUGHLY SO AND HERE YOU'VE GOT 196 THAT IT WILL FIX . I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DIMENSIONS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I THINK IT'S 30 A DAY.
IF WE'RE COUNTING AT TILE SQUARES UP IN THE CEILING.
THE CAPACITY FOR THE NEW BOARD, THIS HOLDS 133 AND THAT'LL HOLD 196.
OKAY. THANK YOU. NEVER MIND 133 VERSUS 196? ALL RIGHT, GOOD. MS. RUNKLE.
YES, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE STILL MEETING AND WORKING THROUGH THINGS, BUT CAN YOU ALSO JUST LET US KNOW IN EACH OF THESE DEPARTMENTS? SO LIKE HUMAN RESOURCES, YOU'VE SPOKEN TO THEM AND THEY ARE GOOD TO GO ON THEIR ON THEIR AREA, SPECIAL EDUCATION.
EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT IS HERE HAS HAD A SAY IN THIS AND HAS GIVEN SOME FEEDBACK.
SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH FOUR ROUNDS OF USER GROUP MEETINGS WHERE WE'VE REALLY TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY KIND OF LOOKING THROUGH AND SHOWING THEM THE SPACE AND WALKING THROUGH WHAT OUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS ARE.
WE REALLY WANT TO GET SOME THE BEST RESULT FOR DEPARTMENT.
OKAY, GREAT. AND THEN ALSO, IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE THESE DRAWINGS SENT TO US AND A MORE VIRTUAL TYPE RENDERING, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
AND THAT IF WE CAN DO THAT WITH ALL OF THE PROJECTS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
IF MRS. OROSCO, IF YOU CAN CAPTURE THAT QUESTION, THAT'D BE AWESOME.
ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE TEAM, MS. OROSCO? THANK YOU FOR MEETING WITH THESE STAKEHOLDERS AND EVERYONE ELSE.
ALL RIGHT. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WE DEFINITELY NEED MORE RESTROOMS. THIS FEELS RIDICULOUS TO ME.
SO DEFINITELY MORE RESTROOMS MINIMUM.
IS THERE A IS THERE AN ENTRANCE FROM OUTSIDE THAT PEOPLE CAN ACCESS? I SEE ONE, BUT I DON'T SEE LIKE A RECEPTIONIST TYPE SPACE.
SO IN THAT TOP YELLOW FIVE ZONE, I SEE A DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT JUST HITS A WALL.
IS THAT A RECEPTION WALL THAT I'M NOT SEEING? YES. SO THE NORTH STARE THERE, THAT WOULD BE LIKE PRIVATE EMPLOYEE ACCESS.
NO BUT IS THERE A WAY FOR AND I DON'T SEE AN EASY WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GO FROM ZONE SIX TO ZONE FIVE.
SO WE HAVE EMPLOYEES COMING IN ALL DAY, ALL THE TIME.
AND WE HAVE I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE HR COULD HAVE THEIR OWN ENTRANCE WITH THEIR OWN RECEPTIONIST.
YEAH. SO END ZONE FIVE TWO, IF YOU KIND OF LOOK PLAN SOUTHEAST A LITTLE BIT, THERE'S LIKE A SMALL LOUNGE AREA THAT'S KIND OF A HANDSHAKE, IF YOU WILL, FROM THE HR DEPARTMENT TO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.
RIGHT. BUT YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY IN HERE TO GO TO THERE.
I WOULD. I'VE SEEN OTHER ADMIN BUILDINGS WHERE THEY LITERALLY HAVE A SIGN THAT SAYS HUMAN RESOURCES.
AND OUR RECEPTIONIST IS CONSTANTLY HAVING PEOPLE AT THE FRONT, IN THE VESTIBULE, WAITING, WHATEVER.
SO, I MEAN, I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY AND I CAN'T SEE DR.
MEDINA'S FACE THAT OUR HR HAS MORE PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OF IT THAN PROBABLY ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IN TERMS OF JUST RANDOM PEOPLE ALL DAY, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US DO SOMETHING ABOUT HELPING THEM AND OUR RECEPTIONISTS IN THE FRONT WHO ARE DEALING WITH ALL THOSE ALSO WITH PARENTS THAT COME IN AND, YOU KNOW, JUST OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AND WHATEVER.
SO I DON'T LOVE THAT YOU HAVE TO COME THROUGH THIS HUGE MAZE TO GET TO AIR.
[01:30:04]
IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO GET FROM OUTSIDE WITH A LITTLE WAITING AREA, WITH THE VESTIBULE, WITH A RECEPTION, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU THINK ABOUT THAT FOR THEIR SAKE . DID I SAY MORE RESTROOMS, BECAUSE THAT'S FOR SURE WE NEED MORE RESTROOMS. AND THEN THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO ASK IN THIS MALL AREA, SO THIS IS LIKE THIS IS SO EXCITING BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS NOT GREAT ADMIN SPACE RIGHT NOW.I'M JUST GOING TO BE KIND ABOUT IT.
AND SO WHAT I'M NOT SEEING ON HERE IS LIKE SOME AND MAYBE THE BOARDROOM IS THAT SPACE WHERE YOU COULD HAVE SOME KIND OF FLEX SPACE FOR TRAININGS AND YOU CAN BRING IN 200 PEOPLE. SO IS THAT THE PLAN TO DO THAT? YEAH, SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES WHEN WE WENT THROUGH PROGRAMING.
SO YOUR BOARDROOM IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER AREA THAT CAN KIND OF SERVICE AS AN ONBOARDING SPACE.
BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THAT MALL TO KIND OF WEED INTO AND THAT MALL WILL BE A VERY FLEXIBLE ZONE.
WELL, THAT WAS GOING TO ASK YOU IF THIS MALL COULD BE LIKE, CAN WE HAVE THE SPAZMATICS HERE? GIVE ME SOME SPACE.
WHAT AM I WHAT AM I LOOKING AT? HOW BIG A SPACE IS THAT? DEFINITELY, IT IS A VERY BIG SPACE.
SO IT'S ABOUT 30 WIDE BY, I DON'T KNOW THE LENGTH OF THAT.
WE CAN HAVE A PEP RALLY THERE? YES. EASY, OKAY.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO THOSE ARE MINE.
THOSE ARE MY BIG TAKEAWAYS IS JUST I'M GLAD WE HAVE TRAINING SPACE BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE WHOLE DISTRICT, EVERY EMPLOYEE, BUT DEPARTMENTAL TRAININGS OR 50 PEOPLE HERE OR 100 PEOPLE HERE.
THAT IS HUGE BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TO GO TO THE PAC OR FIGURE OUT WHO HAS SPACE IN THERE.
AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO BRING TEACHERS OVER AND DO SOME VERTICAL ALIGNMENT TRAININGS AND ALL OF THAT.
MR. VELA, DID I SEE YOUR HAND UP? YOU ACTUALLY ASKED MY QUESTION, SO.
OKAY, THANK YOU. AND SORRY, I FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS HR BUSINESS, BUT I HAVE SEEN THIS.
WHERE WAS I? CONROE OR SOMEWHERE? AND I WAS LIKE, THAT IS AMAZING.
IF IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THEIR OWN SIGNAGE, BUT FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY PURPOSES, IT WOULD BE AND JUST THE FACT THAT THE REASON WHY WE TWO RECEPTIONS WAS A LOT.
BUT EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN UP THERE, THERE'S ALWAYS LIKE EMPLOYEES AND IT'S LIKE THE FIRST IMPRESSION, RIGHT? AND IF THEY'RE BUSY ON THE PHONE BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S BUS IS LATE AND THEY'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THAT, OR THERE'S A PARENT THERE OR THERE'S YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST FEEL LIKE HR COULD HAVE THEIR OWN EASY ACCESS.
AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THIS BUILDING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR THE NEXT 40 PLUS YEARS.
SO WE'RE BEING SUPER PICKY ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF GROWTH AND WE NEED TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING WE CAN AND NOT GO BACK TO THE TAXPAYER AND SAY, OH, LET'S ADD MORE RESTROOMS LATER.
AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FLEX SPACE TO HOLD TRAINING, WHEN YOU JUST YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU SAID THE BOARDROOM IS LIKE 196, SO IT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO HOLD A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR TRAINING AND SUCH.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW AND I KNOW I'M CAPTURING THIS, BUT LIKE HOW MANY WOULD EACH QUADRANT HOLD FOR TRAINING AND THEN ALL TOGETHER? AND IS THAT MALL SPACE WASTED SPACE? CAN WE DO SOMETHING? CAN WE ADD RESTROOMS THERE? ADD MORE RESTROOMS? I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE RESTROOMS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
BUT ADDING MORE RESTROOMS, WE NEED TO PLAN AHEAD.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS FOREVER.
AND I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TAXPAYER LIKE WE DID WITH JOHNSON AND SUCH.
LET'S ADD STADIUM SPACE BECAUSE WE GREW SO FAST.
I WANT TO BE TOTALLY PREPARED.
SO PLEASE LOOK AT THAT AGAIN DEFINITELY.
THANK YOU, MS. OROSCO. LAST QUESTION FOR ME.
WHERE'S LIKE THERE ARE AMAZING BREAK ROOMS GOING TO BE? SO END ZONE SEVEN.
WE'RE REALLY SEEING ZONE SEVEN AS SORT OF THIS BREAK AREA AS WELL.
THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN PRIVATE BREAK ROOMS WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT MALL JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A PERSPECTIVE.
[01:35:02]
IT SHOULD BE ABOUT 18 FEET TALL AND IT BE VERY GLASSY FROM THAT EAST AND WEST END OF THE BUILDING.OK. CERTAINLY CAPTURE A LOT OF A LOT OF NICE DAYLIGHT IN THERE.
GOT IT. BUT, YES, THAT KITCHEN AREA IN THAT MALL WILL BE KIND OF A LOWERED OPEN SPACE.
OKAY, THAT'S HELPFUL. AND I'M KIND OF WITH MS. OROZCO. IF YOU HAD A SMALL BATHROOM IN EACH OF THESE LITTLE AREAS, BECAUSE, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW WHAT KIND OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WALKING.
YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE ON YOUR WAY.
IS THAT KIND OF A KITCHEN BREAK ROOM? IS THAT WHAT I'M SEEING UP THERE? YEAH. SO THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AS WELL.
THREE. IT'S KIND OF RIGHT NORTH OF THE PLAN, NEXT TO A CONFERENCE ROOM AND ZONE TWO.
THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE, TEAM? I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP FLIPPING THROUGH, YOU'LL KIND OF SEE EACH DEPARTMENT AND THEIR AXON VIEWS.
SO IT JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'VE LANDED SO FAR WITH USER FEEDBACK AND KIND OF GIVING YOU SOME OF THAT THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE AND WHAT THAT MIGHT START TO LOOK LIKE. YEP.
AND IF YOU WANT TO STOP WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS AND SECURITY ONE JUST RIGHT AFTER THE SUPER AND THIS ONE IN THE PURPLE, THAT'S SORT OF JERRY AND HER DEPARTMENT OF SECURITY AND COMMUNICATIONS HAVE KIND OF COMBINED IN THIS DEPARTMENT RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE SUPERS WITH THAT ADJACENCY, AS WE HEARD IN OUR USER GROUP MEETINGS, WAS PRETTY IMPORTANT.
SO WE REALLY THOUGHT THROUGH SOME OF THOSE ADJACENCIES AS WELL.
OKAY. QUICK QUESTION. SHE HAS TWO COORDINATORS NOW.
WOULD ONE OF THEM JUST MOVE OVER TO ONE OF THESE OTHER BUILDINGS? THERE'S LIKE ONE OFFICE THAT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ON IT.
IS THAT WHAT THAT'S FOR THE COORDINATOR TO? OKAY. AS YOU KIND OF LOOK THROUGH TOO, WE HAVE KIND OF ACCOUNTED FOR A LOT OF FUTURE GROWTH WITH EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS.
SO AS WE'VE MET, WE'RE KIND OF ACCOUNTING FOR THAT IN THIS PLAN AS WELL.
GREAT. EXCEPT FOR OUR RESTROOM SITUATION.
OKAY. NO STORAGE, RESTROOMS, I'M JUST JOKING.
OKAY. THIS IS THIS IS HELPFUL TO SEE KIND OF A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
ANY ANY OTHER PAGES YOU WANT TO STOP ON? I'M GOING TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH YOU GUYS.
SO AN OPERATION SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL KIND OF SEE THERE, SORT OF MORE SPECIFICALLY, SOME NAMES TO SOME DESKS AND THINGS THAT THEY'VE KIND OF GOT GOING ON FOR THEM IN THE HR DEPARTMENT AS WELL. YOU KIND OF GET A NICE [INAUDIBLE] VIEW OF SOME OF THOSE DIFFERENT WORK ZONES AND DIFFERENT WORKSPACES.
AND THEN YOU KIND OF GET TO SEE SOME OF THE UPSTAIRS ONES.
SOMEONE NEEDS AN AIR ENTRANCE.
I'M JUST JOKING. YOU HAVE TO LET THAT GO.
DR. MEDINA PROBABLY WISHES HE COULD SEE ME.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS AMAZING ACADEMIC SUPPORT? I'M LOOKING AROUND THIS ROOM.
AND I AM SO, SO GLAD THAT THIS IS FINALLY COMING.
WE HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE FAR TOO LONG TO NOT HAVE A NICE WORKSPACE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.
SO I'M EXCITED FOR EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM THAT'S GOING TO GET TO BENEFIT FROM FROM THIS SPACE.
THANK YOU, SPENCER. IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE PRESENTED TO US BEFORE.
AND STEVE, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AS WELL.
ANYTHING ELSE TEAM ON AND WE'RE NOT LOCKED IN.
THIS IS OUR FIRST KIND OF LOOK.
THAT'S RIGHT. OUR GOAL AFTER THESE FOUR ROUNDS WAS TO HAVE THE PROGRAM, MEANING THE LIST OF NAMES AND FUTURES AT 100% AND THE DRAWINGS AT SOMEWHERE AROUND 90%. SO THAT WAS KIND OF OUR GOAL AND WE THINK WE GOT THERE.
[01:40:02]
THEY ACTUALLY FINISHED THE A MEETING TODAY AROUND 1:00, SO.OH, WOW. OKAY. LITERALLY HOT OFF THE PRESS.
NEXT TIME WE'LL HAVE IT UP HERE, TOO.
OKAY, TEAM, I'M GOING TO MOVE THINGS AROUND AGAIN.
MAX, YOU ARE RELIEVED OF DUTY FOR JUST THE SECOND.
WE HAVE SOME FOLKS HERE FROM OUR DISTRICT THAT WANT TO GO HOME.
PROBABLY SO THAT IS ITEM NUMBER.
I HAVE TO FIND IT AND HANG ON.
WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THAT.
I'M LOOKING FOR YOUR ITEM, JUSTIN.
JAY. I WAS GOING TO SAY YOU'RE.
THAT'S WHY. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO GET PULLED ANYWAY.
SO. SO FRIENDS, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO JS SIX IN CONSENT.
[J.6. Consideration and possible approval of the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) members]
THIS IS OUR SHACK ITEM.WRIGHT HAD SOME WORDS HE WANTED TO TELL US ABOUT IT.
AND THEN JUST A MCCORKLE AND MEGAN MENTHOL ARE BOTH HERE TONIGHT IF WE HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
YES. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PETREA.
IT'S ONE OF THE FEW COMMITTEES THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY TERM LIMITS.
AND SO IN TALKING TO SOME BOARD MEMBERS, IT WAS IT WAS ASKED IF WE COULD ONCE THIS SHAC COMMITTEE IS IS APPROVED, IF WE COULD GO BACK AND REVISIT THE BYLAWS AND LOOK AT DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO LIKE WE DO WITH OUR DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM, WHERE WE STAGGER. SO WE MAINTAIN CONTINUITY AND SO THAT WE HAVE THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, BUT ALSO IT GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO REFRESH EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND SO JUST AND THAT'S KIND OF KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING.
AND ALSO IN LEGAL STATUTE, IT SAYS THAT THE BOARD MUST APPOINT THE SHAC COMMITTEE.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF BEEN A POINT OF CONTENTION OR SEMANTICS, REALLY.
BUT SHE SAID THAT IT WAS SEMANTICS AND THAT WE COULD RECOMMEND.
SO YOU RECOMMEND AND IF YOU APPROVE IT IS CONSIDERED AN APPOINTMENT.
OR THE OTHER OPTION IS THE BOARD CAN ACTUALLY APPOINT, BUT THERE IS A LEGAL STATUTE JUST LIKE DEALT IN THE FOLKS THAT CAN SERVE ON THAT COMMITTEE. SO THEY IDENTIFY SPECIFICALLY THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT MUST SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF JUST THE RESEARCH BASE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OVER THE SUMMER BECAUSE I THINK WE ORIGINALLY STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS IN MAY AND AND THEN WE, WE GOT ANSWERS FROM TASB AND THEN ALSO GOT SOME FEEDBACK FROM SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.
AND AND SO THAT'S KIND OF AN OVERVIEW.
YES. AND SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JUSTIN.
THANKS, DR. WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
WRIGHT SAID, WE LOOKING AT THE CURRENT MEMBERSHIP OF THE SHAC.
AND SO IF WE WERE TO TAKE A PROPOSAL TO THE SHACK TO AMEND THE BYLAWS TO PUT IN SOME SORT OF TERM LIMITS, EVEN IF PEOPLE HIT THOSE TERM LIMITS ON THE NEXT TIME, WE WOULD STILL HAVE A MIX OF GOOD FOLKS WHO HAD JUST JOINED, WHO HAD BEEN IN FOR A SINGLE TERM AND FOLKS WHO WERE COMING IN.
AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I COULD HELP MEGAN TAKE TO THE SHAC AS A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE BYLAWS.
IT'S A FAIRLY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD WAY WE COULD ADDRESS THAT.
[01:45:05]
TO FILL SHAC SEATS THAT ARE BECOMING VACANT.IT'S KIND OF HOW WE'VE INTERPRETED THAT IN THE PAST.
WE CAN ALWAYS TAKE IT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
ALL RIGHT TEAM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MR. MCCORKLE? MS. OROSCO OR MR. MCMANUS? CAN YOU GO FIRST? A COUPLE OF THINGS. I'M JUST KIND OF THINKING OUT LOUD HERE AS WE TALK THROUGH THIS AS A GROUP.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED THAN THEY HAVE TO BE.
HENCE THE RULES CHANGES FOR HAVING TO POST YOUR MEETINGS AND WHATNOT THAT GO ALONG WITH THIS NOW.
SO JUST AS WE THINK THROUGH HOW WE DO THIS, I MEAN, SHOULD WE MOVE TO A TRUE APPOINTMENT PROCESS? BUT THEN I START THINKING ABOUT OTHER COMMITTEES WHERE I HAVE TO DO THAT AND THE CHALLENGE I HAVE FINDING PEOPLE.
I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT LEGWORK ON THE BOARD'S BEHALF.
AND I FEEL LIKE OUR SHACK HAS DONE REAL, REAL WELL AND SERVED OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY.
RIGHT. REACH OUT TO THE CURRENT SHACK MEMBERS, SEE WHO PLANS TO COME, PLANS TO CONTINUE IF THEY'RE IF THERE'S TERM COMING UP AND THEN TAKE SOME ACTIVE SOLICITATION USUALLY OF PRINCIPALS AND NURSES FOR A GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY PARENTS WHO WOULD HAVE AN INTEREST IN SCHOOL HEALTH.
AND THAT CAN TAKE A WHILE FROM TIME TO TIME.
BUT CURRENTLY WE REPRESENT 15 CAMPUSES, 15 UNIQUE CAMPUSES.
IT TAKES SOME WORK, BUT I THINK IT PAYS OFF.
15 OF 25 IS NOT BAD WHEN IT COMES TO MEDIA REPRESENTATION, I THINK.
AND FOR SOME CONTEXT, HAVING MET WITH OTHER REGION 13 NURSING ADMINISTRATORS, THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE WHEREIN THE PROPOSED LIST GOES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND SCHOOL BOARD KIND OF VOTES TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT VERSUS THE TRUSTEES APPOINTING MEMBERS DIRECTLY.
OUR PROCESS I COULDN'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT BUT HAVING TALKED TO OTHER DISTRICTS, OUR PROCESSES, KIND OF THE PROCESS THAT IS USED MORE OFTEN THAN NOT WITHIN OTHER DISTRICTS AND REGION 13 THAT THAT I COMMUNICATE WITH.
SO JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW YOU AT LEAST PUT THE WORD OUT THAT THERE'S A SPOT OPEN.
SO I JUST HONESTLY SHOOT AN EMAIL TO PRINCIPALS, NURSES, AND LET THEM KNOW, HEY, THIS IS WHAT THE SHAC IS, THIS IS WHAT THE SHAC'S MISSION IS AND WHAT THE LAW SAYS WE NEED TO DO.
DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY WHO YOU WOULD RECOMMEND? CAN YOU GIVE ME A FEW NAMES THAT I AND THAT I CAN REACH OUT TO AND SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED? OKAY. THANK YOU.
THAT'S ALL. MR. OROSCO. THANK YOU, JUSTIN, FOR THAT INFORMATION.
YES. IT SEEMS THE PROCESS OF BRINGING RECOMMENDATIONS TO US DOES SEEM TO FLOW PRETTY GOOD.
I REALLY DO LIKE THE IDEA OF MAKING SURE THAT WE DO LOOK AT THOSE BYLAWS AND FIX THOSE BYLAWS, BECAUSE WE DO SEE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN SERVING FOR MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS AND WHICH IS GREAT TO HAVE THAT HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
AND ALSO YOU KNOW WE HAVE HAD ISSUES FILLING THOSE VACANCIES ON THE SHAC BEFORE AND WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OTHER AREAS BECAUSE WE DO SEE A LOT OF THE SAME SCHOOLS OVER AND OVER FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU STATED.
RIGHT. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT INFORMATION FORWARD.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. VELA.
YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.
I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE.
I KNOW THAT NOT ALL COMMITTEES ARE EASY TO FILL.
I'VE ACTUALLY HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE REACHED OUT THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING IN THE SHAC.
[01:50:04]
SO WHEN THINGS COME UP, I'M HAPPY TO PUSH THOSE NAMES FORWARD.I THINK WE SHOULD PUSH TO GET ALL THE CAMPUSES REPRESENTED.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YES, 15 IS A GOOD NUMBER.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AGAIN, WE TALK ABOUT 100% HAYS THEN LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THOSE CAMPUSES, WE REALLY NEED TO BE STRATEGIC ABOUT GETTING THOSE ADMINISTRATORS AND PARENTS INVOLVED. I KNOW WE GOT PTA ORGANIZATIONS AT EACH SCHOOL.
THANK YOU, JUSTIN, FOR LOOKING AT THESE.
I, TOO, WITH MRS. OROSCO SHARE THAT LOOKING AT THE TERM LIMITS AND TAKING A LOOK AT THE BYLAWS.
YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE THE PROCESS AND THE LEGWORK THAT YOU GUYS DO ALSO.
AND TO MR. VELA'S POINT, JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT HAVE SOME SAY IN WHAT'S GOING IN THAT COMMITTEE.
WELL, MAYBE I'M IN THE MINORITY, BUT I DON'T MIND THEM SERVING FOR A LONG TIME.
AND I KNOW JESSICA BEDWELL IS HERE AND SHE'S ALSO SERVED ON THE SHAC AND HAS EXPRESSED THAT AS WELL, THAT THE WORK THAT THE SHAC DOES, IT'S IT'S PRETTY INTENSE AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE THAT HISTORIC LOOK AND THAT KNOWLEDGE.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT TERM LOOKS LIKE.
SO I DON'T MAYBE THERE'S SOME MIDDLE GROUND THERE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR THE FBOC APPOINTMENTS, IT'S IT'S A LIFE APPOINTMENT UNTIL ONE OF US IS VOTED OUT OR OR STEPS DOWN, AND THEN THE NEXT BOARD MEMBER GETS TO PICK THAT FBOC, APPOINT APPOINTEES.
SO MAYBE THERE'S SOME KIND OF MIDDLE GROUND.
I'M SURE THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN STEP DOWN AS YOU REACH OUT EVERY MAY, WHICH IS GREAT.
I DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH MY FBOC APPOINTMENTS TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE AN OUT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO STAY ON IT FOREVER IF THEY DON'T WANT TO.
BUT I DO RECOGNIZE THAT HAVING SOME FOLKS WITH THAT LONG STANDING KNOWLEDGE IS HELPFUL.
LIKE IF OUR FBOC STARTED OVER TOMORROW, THAT WOULD BE REALLY TERRIBLE.
IT WOULD. WE'D ALL BE, OH NO, THEY KNEW SO MUCH.
SO I'M, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT ANSWER IS.
WHERE DO THEY MEET? SO PANDEMIC TIMES, WHICH IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SHAC, HAS BEEN ON ZOOM.
ZOOM IS REALLY CONVENIENT. WE GET REALLY GREAT ATTENDANCE, RIGHT? BUT WE VOTED TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO MEETINGS IN PERSON WHERE WE'LL MEET AT THE LARGE TRAINING ROOM AT CNI.
THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE WE ARE 221 SQUARE MILES OF HAYS CISD.
SO TO MR. BAILEY'S POINT, GETTING SOMEONE FROM EVERY CAMPUS SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
BUT I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD SAY ZOOM FOR SOME OF THESE MEETINGS BECAUSE THAT IS A LITTLE MORE CONVENIENT THAN TRAVELING 45 MINUTES TO GO TO THE PACK OR DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. SO, OKAY, THAT'S ALL I HAD.
WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS NEXT WEEK AS PART OF CONSENT, BUT MR. MCCORKLE AND MS. BENTHOL ARE HERE TONIGHT, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THEIR OUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE. SO THAT'S J6.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. YEAH.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO DO THAT ONE FIRST.
LET'S MOVE BACK TO OUR ACTION ITEM.
SORRY, BARBARA, GLORIA, WE'RE GOING TO GO K1A AND THIS IS PAGE 52 OF YOUR AGENDA.
[K.1. Consideration and possible action, if any, resulting from closed session]
WE HAD A CLOSED SESSION TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ADMINISTRATION FOR A NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT TOBIAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.AGAIN, ON PAGE 52, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MOVE TO APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONTRACTUALLY EMPLOYEE THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT TOBIAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AS PRESENTED.
SO MOVED. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.
[01:55:01]
DR. WRIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT OUR NEW HIRE? ABSOLUTELY, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO CONGRATULATE MELISSA ENGLISH AS THE NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT TOBIAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.LET'S GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
AND MELISSA IS NO STRANGER TO HAYS CISD.
SHE'S BEEN A TEACHER FOR TEN YEARS AND INSTRUCTIONAL COACH FOR SEVEN.
AND SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT SHE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE FAMILY OVER AT TOBIAS.
VERY EXCITING. MR. PALMA IS HERE FROM TOBIAS.
THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS, MELISSA ENGLISH.
ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK TO L18.
[L.18. Consideration and possible approval of the design development (DD) for the 2021 Bond improvements at Live Oak Academy]
WE DO STILL HAVE SOME FRIENDS HERE THAT PROBABLY WANT TO GO HOME AT SOME POINT TONIGHT.160, AND THIS IS ALSO O'CONNELL ROBERTSON.
UNLESS WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT PACKET, JARED, WE DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PACKET.
OKAY. SO YOU'LL HAVE THIS 11 BY 17 PAPER THAT SAYS LIVE OAK ACADEMY RENOVATIONS.
YOU HAVE THE PACKET IN FRONT OF YOU AND LIKE YOU SAID, THE AGENDA ITEM ON PAGE 160 LIVE OAK ACADEMY IS GOING TO BE EXPANDED TO 336 STUDENTS IS THE END GOAL.
I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THE CURRENT CAPACITY, BUT THAT'S ALMOST DOUBLE.
I THINK THERE'S 169 ENROLLED THE LAST TIME I LOOKED AT OUR ENROLLMENT NUMBERS.
THIS IS THE 50% CONTRACT DOCUMENT PACKAGE.
SO IT'S HALFWAY TO FINISHING UP BLUEPRINTS HERE.
SO WE HAVE THE COVER PAGE HERE JUST OVERALL, IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SHEET.
THAT IS IDENTIFYING THE AREAS OF RENOVATION AND PHASING.
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS KNOWING THAT HALF OF SAY HALF THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED BY ADMINISTRATION.
SO WE ARE STARTING TO DISCUSSIONS.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET ON THE BOOKS TO COORDINATE BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC SERVICE CENTER, LIVE OAK AND CONSTRUCTION TIME FRAMES TO TRY AND MINIMIZE IMPACT BETWEEN ALL THE ENTITIES THERE.
SO THIS IS STARTING TO DESCRIBE THAT.
AND THEN THE NEXT PAGE IS THE SITE PLAN.
SO I'LL SAY MOVING FROM A DIRT LOT TO PAVED LOT THERE IN THAT ZONE.
AND THEN ON THE NEXT PAGE, YOU SEE THE OVERALL RENOVATIONS HERE TO LIVE OAK ACADEMY.
SO THE NON SHADED PORTIONS OF THE AREAS THAT ARE GENERALLY GETTING TOUCHED.
SO THIS INCLUDES RESTROOM RENOVATIONS, CONVERTING SOME OF THE OPEN CURRENTLY OPEN MEETING SPACES BACK INTO CLASSROOM SPACES AND FORMALIZING THAT THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS. AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE LAST PAGE, A WONDERFUL ROOF PLAN HERE JUST SHOWING THAT WE'RE BASICALLY ADDRESSING GUTTERS.
ALTERNATE AT THE ENTRY AS WELL IF WE CAN AFFORD IT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
AS IT IS CURRENTLY DESIGNED TO BE.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH RESTROOMS? I'M TOTALLY KIDDING.
SORRY. WHAT IS OUR CURRENT WAIT LIST FOR LIVE OAK? I KNOW THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT IS.
HOW MANY MORE STUDENTS WOULD WE? [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE 169 ENROLLED RIGHT NOW.
SO HISTORICALLY IT'S BEEN A LITTLE OVER 100 KIDS.
WE WOULD HAVE A SPACE FOR THEM.
YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT QUESTION.
A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, I PERSONALLY, THIS IS SUPER EXCITING.
I LOVE WHAT THIS CAMPUS DOES AND IS ALL ABOUT.
THE COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS THAT IT SERVES IS FANTASTIC.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE DISHEARTENING FOR THERE TO BE A WAITLIST.
MY QUESTION AND DR. WRIGHT IT MAY BE MORE FOR YOU.
[02:00:02]
IS THERE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT WITH THIS EXPANSION? ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR GRADES THAT ARE GOING TO BE SERVED OR IS IT STILL GOING TO BE HIGH SCHOOL EXCLUSIVE? KIND OF. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE, DO YOU THINK? SO THE CONCEPT IS WE WANT TO CONTINUE IN THE SAME MODALITY AND AND REALLY GET TO THE GET TO A FEW YOUNGER GRADE KIDDOS THAT HAVE HAVE REALLY NOT CONNECTED AT THEIR CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL AND THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE ONE AND ONE A SMALLER SPACE, BUT IT'S A CATCH 22.AND SO THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO KEEP IT AROUND THIS 360 RANGE, BECAUSE WE THINK WE CAN STILL HAVE THAT SMALL SCHOOL FEEL AND WE DON'T WANT TO GET TOO LARGE. AND SO IF WE FIND THAT WE HAVE THE NEED AND MORE KIDS WANT IT, WE MAY WANT TO REPLICATE IN ANOTHER SITE, MAYBE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN INSTEAD OF ADDING TO THIS ONE.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT WHAT MAKES IT THE PRIZE THAT IT IS.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF THE FEEDBACK THAT MAX AND I RECEIVED FROM FROM THE STAFF THERE.
GREAT QUESTION. ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH MR. VELA.
YEAH AND THINKING JUST STRATEGICALLY, AT WHAT POINT DOES LIVE OAK START TO BLEED OVER INTO ANY EXPANSION NEEDS FOR HAYES HIGH SCHOOL? I KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REZONE BECAUSE OF JOHNSON.
AND BUT WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN TWO YEARS? THREE YEARS? NEXT TWO YEARS WOULD BE.
YEAH. WHEN, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE LAST REPORT FROM THE DEMOGRAPHER, I THINK HAYS HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO HAVE SPACE UNTIL, WHAT IS IT, 26? YES, SIR. AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE DOING THE RENOVATIONS.
THEY'RE TRYING TO USE THAT LITTLE LULL IN CAPACITY OR IN ENROLLMENT TO HIT THAT MARK.
I KNOW THE IOC HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH MAX ABOUT POTENTIAL CAPACITY ADDITIONS AT EACH OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS JUST AND THE FOURTH COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL.
HAYS WAS 28, AND AS IT STANDS NOW, 2028 AND THEN 2030 FOR LEHMAN.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION.
AND MS. OROSCO, YOU MAY WANT TO WRITE THIS ONE DOWN.
I'D LIKE TO GET THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS THAT LIVE BY GRADE NINE, 10TH, 11TH AND 12TH.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE TYPICALLY DON'T ALLOW VERY MANY NINTH GRADERS OVER THERE.
SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT THAT MAY BE ABLE TO CHANGE.
AND I GET IT THAT THERE ARE SOME REASONS THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET THEM TO MAKE IT WORK AT THEIR CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL AND NOT JUST GO STRAIGHT TO LIVE OAK FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT I THINK THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS THAT THEY MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR AND THEY ARE OVER THERE.
BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THE NUMBERS BY GRADE LEVEL.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE FOR LIVE OAK? ALL RIGHT. THEN NEXT WE HAVE OUR
[L.19. Consideration and possible approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) from Bartlett Cocke for 2021 Bond improvements to Chapa Middle School and Simon Middle School]
GMP. FOR CHAPA AND SIMON, WE HAVE THESE IN YOUR PAPER AND YOUR FOLDER.YOU WANT TO KEEP ROLLING? JUST ROLL ON, JARED.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ALSO O'CONNELL ROBERTSON.
YES, MA'AM. SO JARED WILL ALSO GO THROUGH THE CHAPA AND SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL DOCUMENTS.
AND BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THE GMP.
OK, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START? CHAPA OR SIMON? GOT CHAPA UPON THE SCREEN.
OKAY, PERFECT. SO I'VE GOT MY CHAPA PAPERS HERE.
ALL RIGHT, SO CHOP THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE COMPLETED CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
WE'VE GONE OUT TO BID, WORKING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, BARTLETT COCKE.
HERE. THIS WAS FOCUSED AS WE WENT THROUGH MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING THE DISTRICT'S NEEDS IN TERMS OF SCOPE AND BUDGET AS BEST AS WE CAN A LANDSCAPE, BUT REALLY FOCUSED ON THE FINE ARTS EDITION THERE AT THE BACK OF THE FACILITY.
THEY'RE MAKING A MINOR MODIFICATION.
MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE PARKING.
[02:05:03]
ADDITIONS TO MAKE THAT A COMPREHENSIVE SPACE AND THEN AS WELL.YEP. SO FIXING THE CORRIDOR THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE PLAN.
SO THIS ONE, IF YOU GO NEXT SHEET, I BELIEVE WE HAVE EXTERIOR IMAGES.
SO WE'RE REALLY WORKING TO MAKE IT BLEND WITHIN THE EXISTING ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING, IN A SENSE, MAKING IT AS INVISIBLE AS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS IN ADDITION. WITH THE APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'LL MOVE INTO CONSTRUCTION.
AND THE GOAL WILL BE, I BELIEVE, ROUGHLY HAVE IT OPEN NEXT SUMMER, CORRECT? NOVEMBER. NOVEMBER OF 18.
YES, MA'AM. SCHEDULE COMPLETION.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PLAN FOR CHAPA? THIS IS EXCITING. AND I'M SURE ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS, MS. WALLACE HAS WEIGHED IN.
EVERYONE'S GOT THEIR OPINIONS OUT.
GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT SIMON.
SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL, VERY SIMILAR, WHICH IS OUR NEWEST MIDDLE SCHOOL AFTER MCCORMICK.
YEAH. SO SECOND NEWS AND THEN.
IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SHEET, WE START OFF WITH THE OVERALL SITE PLAN.
SO IT IS THE MIRROR IMAGE LEFT OR RIGHT OF CHAPA.
THE EXISTING BUS LOOPS ARE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THAT EXPANSION.
YOU MOVE FORWARD TWO SLIDES HERE.
WE ACTUALLY GO INSIDE THE BUILDING HERE.
SO THIS IS AGAIN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS CAMPUSES.
SO WE'RE ADDING THE TWO THERE AT THE END, MAINTAINING CLEAR ACCESS AND THEN AS WELL ADDING A WALL THERE BETWEEN THEATER ARTS IN THE CORRIDOR FROM IN TERMS OF ACCESS.
AND THEN HERE, I BELIEVE WE'RE JUST ADDING THE DOOR THERE INTO THE ART CLASSROOM.
ALL RIGHT. FANTASTIC. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SIMON EXPANSION? MR. VELA.
PROJECTED COMPLETION? WHAT WAS THAT, SIR? THE PROJECTED COMPLETION OF THIS ONE.
IT WOULD BE THE SAME FRAME. OKAY.
I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE DESIGN, BUT CAN I ASK ABOUT THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THE AGENDA ITEM THAT JUST AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE LINE MEANS, WHERE IT SAYS THE ACCOUNTING LOOK AHEAD CONTAINS ESTIMATED COST FIGURES FOR CREDIT CHANGE ORDERS DUE TO HAYS CISD FROM PROJECTS FINISHING THAT SUMMER.
CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THAT? YES, SIR. I'M GOING TO GO TO MY PLACE AT MY DESK AND GET THE PAPER, THE SPREADSHEET WITH MULTIPLE COLORS.
SO LONG AS YOU JOG, YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT.
BUT I BELIEVE, MAX, THAT WE CAN USE IT FOR MULTIPLE AGENDA ITEMS. OKAY. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THIS LOOK AHEAD BEFORE, AND I'VE TRIED TO KEEP IT THE SAME ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
SO THE GREEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS ALREADY HAD GMP, SO THOSE PROJECTS ARE UNDERWAY.
WE'RE HERE TONIGHT AT BID PACKAGE NINE FOR CHAPA AND SIMON WITH THE GMP.
AND WE'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT BID PACKAGES, TEN AND 11, THOSE ARE NOW AT DD.
SO WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO WRAPPING THIS UP.
SO ON BID PACKAGE TWO, WHICH IS THE FOUR PACK AND THREE WHICH IS NEGLEY AND BID, PAGE SIX, WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] KYLE AND TOM GREEN PACKAGE.
THEY, YOU KNOW, NORMALLY AT THE AT THE END SAY NEXT YEAR AFTER CLOSE OUTS AND WE'VE HAD THE OFF SEASON INSPECTIONS AND THINGS WE NORMALLY CLOSE OUT IN ABOUT NINE MONTHS OR 12 MONTHS. WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT HAVE CLOSED OUT EARLY, THESE FIGURES THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOR THOSE BID PACKAGES, TWO, THREE AND SIX, I HAVE ALREADY REDUCED THOSE CONSTRUCTION NUMBERS ON THAT TOP LINE BY ABOUT $1.4 MILLION TO REFLECT THAT THAT'S COMING BACK IN AN EARLY CREDIT CHANGE ORDER TO US. SO WHEN YOU, WHEN THAT ALL PUSHES THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND WORKS ITS WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE AT THIS POINT OVER ON THE FAR RIGHT, UNDER THE TOTALS WITH WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING NOW, WITH THE DEFICIT GNP AND THESE DEFICIT DD'S THAT WE'RE PROPOSING, WE'RE STILL AT $1,029,000 OF PROJECT CONTINGENCY. NOW, LET'S GO TO NOTE THREE, IF YOU WILL.
[02:10:03]
STAFF WILL ALSO FORECAST THE DRAWDOWN OF THE FFE IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND FEES.SO FOR INSTANCE, I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN FOR INSTANCE ON WHAT I MEAN BY THAT.
AT SUNFIELD FF&E, WE PRETTY MUCH SPENT THAT ALL THE WAY DOWN.
AND THAT WILL HAPPEN AS THESE THINGS FULLY CLOSE OUT ON OUR END.
THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS, MR. MCMANUS, IS THAT WE'RE WE ARE TAKING THOSE CREDITS EARLY, EARLIER THAN NORMAL, APPLYING THEM NOW SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THAT IN YOUR DECISION MATRIX WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE ITEMS TONIGHT. OKAY, THAT'S FINE.
THANK YOU. I CAN FOLLOW THAT NOW, THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE, MR. CLEAVER, DID YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE GNP OR WAS THAT THE PART YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT? THAT WAS THAT WAS IT. AND, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, WE ARE YOU KNOW, WE'RE OVER BUDGET.
THERE'S THE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, THE INITIAL SO THE PROJECT IS APPROXIMATELY 9,255,472 ON ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE.
OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS TEAM? WE'LL VOTE ON THIS NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU ALL. WE KNOW YOU ARE DOING ALL YOU CAN.
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMING NOW.
YOU WANT A BREAK? NOW, MAY I SUGGEST WE FINISH WITH MAX KLEBER AND DO 13 AND 14? I KNOW FBOC CHAIR IS ALSO HERE.
YEAH, FOR SURE. SHE'S USUALLY HERE TILL THE BITTER END.
OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY.
BUT YEAH, WE SHOULD MAX CLEAVER.
WE CAN FINISH UP MAX CLEAVER, THAT FEELS GOOD.
SO DEMOGRAPHIC SERVICES ON PAGE 150 AND WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR A NEW DEMOGRAPHER.
[L.13. Consideration and possible approval of demographic services]
MR. CLEAVER, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY WE MIGHT BE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHERS HERE.YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO I THINK TEMPLETON, TEMPLETON DEMOGRAPHICS HAD BEEN WITH THE DISTRICT MAYBE TEN YEARS AND THEY WENT THROUGH THEY BECAME SOMETHING ELSE, SOME METRO STUDY AND THEN ZONDA.
SO THEY'VE BEEN BOUGHT OUT AND BOUGHT OUT AGAIN.
AND WHEN WE DID THE RFQ, WE ACTUALLY WE DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE FROM THEM.
AND I ACTUALLY CALLED THEM AND THEY DID THAT PURPOSEFULLY.
YOU KNOW, THEY THEY'VE CHANGED STAFF AND THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY COULD SERVICE US ANYMORE.
AND SO THEY WERE JUST REAL HONEST ABOUT WHY THEY DIDN'T PUT IN A BID.
BUT POPULATION AND SURVEY ANALYSTS DID.
AND THEY THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE LAST DEMOGRAPHER.
LAST YEAR SPENDING WAS 45,000 AND THE BASE COST THIS YEAR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 80.
SO IN ADDITION TO DOING WHAT ALL THE OTHER DEMOGRAPHERS DO WITH THEIR STATISTICAL METHODS AND ANALYTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODELING, THEY ALSO ACTUALLY HAVE A MORE OF A BOOTS ON THE GROUND APPROACH WHERE THEY WILL ACTUALLY PICK UP THE PHONE OR GET IN THE CAR AND GO VISIT EVERY LANDOWNER OVER FIVE ACRES. AND SO WHAT WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT DOES ON ALL OUR DATA, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL THIS DATA THAT SHOWS HOUSING.
AND THESE THESE HOUSING STARTS ARE SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.
AND AS LONG AS THOSE, SAY, ZERO OR NO DATES, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT IS.
SO THE GOAL IS WHEN THEY PUT THEIR BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND GO ASK, WE START POPULATING THOSE DATES OF WHEN THESE HOUSES AND WHEN OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE COMING ONLINE TO MAYBE GET A LITTLE BIT BETTER PICTURE.
SO THE OTHER THING THEY DO OR I SHOULD SAY THEY DON'T DO YOU KNOW, WE CURRENTLY GET A QUARTERLY UPDATE AND YOU KNOW WE GET THE FIRST QUARTER SOMETIME AROUND JULY. SO IT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, 3 TO 6 MONTHS LATE.
BUT WE HAVE I'M FAMILIAR WITH THIS GROUP.
I'VE USED THEM IN ANOTHER DISTRICT.
I'VE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE WHO USE THEM HERE LOCALLY.
THIS DISTRICT USED TO USE THIS GROUP, THEY'RE VERY ACCURATE.
THEY'RE GOOD GROUP. THEY'RE OUT OF COLLEGE STATION.
AND SO WHAT MORE CAN I TELL YOU? WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS CAN I ASK? WELL, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR KIND OF OUTLINING WHY THIS IS QUITE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OUR PREVIOUS VENDOR THAT DID THIS.
BUT I KNOW THAT IN A FAST GROWTH DISTRICT, DEMOGRAPHERS AND BEING ACCURATE IS IMPORTANT.
[02:15:01]
SO I LIKE TO SEE THAT WE'RE WE WENT OUT FOR A BID AND AND LIKE WHO WE ARE RECOMMENDING.SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO THE TEAM.
I'LL START OUT HERE ON MY LEFT.
AND THEN YOU SAID THE, THE ACCURACY OF THE DATA THAT THAT THEY PROVIDE HAS.
YES, SIR. WE I CAN PROVIDE SOME OF THAT.
I THINK I ANSWERED IT MIGHT HAVE PROVIDED IT FROM FROM PURCHASING.
AND SO WE HAVE THAT DATA AND IN IT'S SIMILAR TO OUR PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TEMPLETON THERE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE EVER GETS BELOW ABOUT 95%.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THEY DO IT, BUT THEY JUST DO IT.
OKAY. BUT WE WOULD GO FROM A QUARTERLY REPORT TO JUST A ONCE A YEAR REPORT.
AND DID YOU HAVE YOU ALREADY PROVIDED THAT BOARD BLOG? I MAY HAVE MISSED IT.
SIR? HAVE YOU ALREADY PROVIDED THEIR STATS IN BOARD BLOG AS FAR AS THEIR ACCURATE? I THINK WE MIGHT I THINK ANSTEN MIGHT HAVE PUT THEM ON TODAY.
AND IF NOT, WE HAVE WE HAVE THEIR PROPOSAL AND WE HAVE A SAMPLE FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MS. OROSCO, WHEN DID YOU SAY YOU WOULD GET THAT ANNUAL DEMOGRAPHERS REPORT? YES, GREAT QUESTION.
SO WE WILL GET THAT DELIVERED IN DECEMBER BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR BREAK.
I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT A NEW DEMOGRAPHER.
I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES, SO I THINK THAT THIS IS AWESOME.
I'M LOOKING AT A BOND TIMELINE.
YES, MA'AM. AND THAT JUST MAKES ME NERVOUS.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU A LITTLE NERVOUS? IT'S A LITTLE NERVOUS, BUT WE WILL BE.
WE'LL GET TO MORE UPDATES FROM FROM TEMPLETON.
SO WE'LL GET TO THE WHAT'S AT THE SECOND AND THE THIRD QUARTER, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE FOURTH QUARTER WON'T BE DONE BEFORE DECEMBER, BUT WE'LL GET THE SECOND AND THE THIRD QUARTER STILL FROM TEMPLETON.
WELL, YES, BUT THE NEXT YEAR, WHEN WE'RE PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER GROUP OF BONDS, IS THERE.
DO THEY GIVE YOU TWO A YEAR? IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR ARE THEY JUST REALLY CARE ABOUT GIVING IT TO YOU ONE TIME OF YEAR? WELL, THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD QUESTION, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY WOULD.
BUT IN THEIR THEIR MATERIALS, THEY SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THAT.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THEIR PHILOSOPHY.
AND HERETOFORE THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY ACCURATE.
OKAY. I JUST KNOW THAT WE JUST GROW BY A ZILLION PEOPLE EVERY QUARTER AND SO IT JUST.
WELL, BUT YES, THE ANSWER IS YES.
I'M GLAD WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT.
OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE? DEMOGRAPHER. OKAY, THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE FBOC DEVELOPING A FUTURE BOND RECOMMENDATION.
[L.14. Consideration and possible approval of charging the FBOC with developing a future bond recommendation]
THIS IS ON PAGE 152.WE DO HAVE JESSICA BEDWELL HERE WITH US TONIGHT FROM THE FBOC.
MR. CLEAVER, TELL US WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
YES, MA'AM. SO THIS IS A POLICY DRIVEN ITEM.
SO THEY'RE ON PAGE 152, POLICY CCA LOCAL SORT OF GUIDES OUR WORK.
SO THIS WOULD BE STEP ONE, Y'ALL WOULD CHARGE US.
AND THEN I HAVE PROVIDED A TIMELINE IN YOUR FOLDER.
YES TEAM. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS SINGLE PAGE, WE HAVE A TIMELINE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.
AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE WOULD TAKE THIS CHARGE.
AND SO WE WERE HOPING THAT YOU WOULD CHARGE US AHEAD IF YOU DO IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE THE TIMELINE STATUTORILY, I THINK WE HAVE UNTIL ABOUT FEBRUARY TO COME UP WITH A PLAN.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIME AROUND VALENTINE'S DAY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO OFFICIALLY YES OR NO CALL FOR A BOND.
[02:20:04]
WINTER BREAK AND LOSE STEAM AND THEN HAVE TO COME BACK.AND THIS WOULD BE ABOUT THE WHAT, THE THIRD TIME WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS.
AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE FBOC DOES IN HELPING TO MAP THIS OUT.
AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHER SAYS IF WE VOTE ON THAT.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM OR COMMENTS FOR MR. CLEAVER? MR. MCMANUS. MORE.
JUST AS YOU WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS, I THINK I'D LIKE TO, AS WE MEET, HAVE AN UPDATE AT EACH ONE OF OUR MEETINGS AND AGENDA ITEM FOR WHERE THEY'RE AT IN THE PROCESS RATHER THAN MAYBE EMAIL UPDATES OR WHATEVER.
BUT JUST I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TALK THROUGH IT AS WE WORK TOWARDS THAT.
YEAH, WE USUALLY HAVE A STANDING INFO ITEM ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, BUT WE CAN SAY BOND AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SO THAT GETS PICKED UP. WELL THAT WORK.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? OH, MRS. OROSCO.
THINGS THAT ARE DEFINITELY NEEDS ON THEIR CAMPUS.
BUT THIS WAS BROUGHT LATE TO THE FBOC AND WAS BROUGHT DIRECTLY TO US DURING PUBLIC FORUM.
AND MAYBE ALL, YOU KNOW, YOU BRING IT, YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, THAT'S NOT AS URGENT AS THIS MATTER, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A RUNNING LIST OF WHAT IT IS AND PRIORITIZE, RIGHT? IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
AND HOPEFULLY OUR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION WILL ALSO CONVEY THAT THROUGH HER END.
AND YOU CAN ALSO CONVEY THAT AND DR.
WRIGHT CAN CONVEY THAT IN ILTA.
ALL THESE THINGS, ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES, BUT WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SIT ON IT.
RIGHT. WE'RE NOT ON THE CAMPUS EVERY DAY.
SO WE REALLY NEED THIS INFORMATION.
WE'VE KIND OF BEEN BLINDSIDED IN THE PAST AND BEEN ACCUSED OF NOT CARING ABOUT NEEDS THAT WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FOLK DIDN'T DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT OR KNEW ABOUT LATE. AND THEN WE KIND OF HAD TO SHOEHORN SOME THINGS IN.
SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
AND WE WANT TEACHERS AND I THINK WE'VE THE CULTURE IS DIFFERENT.
I THINK PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THEM.
SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE A BREAK, TEAM.
LET'S TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK.
GUYS, LET'S MOVE OVER BACK TO CONSENT AGENDA AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PULL ANY OF THESE ITEMS.
[J. CONSENT AGENDA]
I'LL GO THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE.WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT J SIX.
WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN, BUT I'D RATHER NOT.
MISS PETRIE. JUST FOR THE RECORD, I WILL BE ABSTAINING FROM VOTING ON J4 SINCE I WORK FOR TASB.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL PULL THAT ONE SEPARATELY AND DO THAT VOTE.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
[02:25:01]
PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'RE DONE WITH K1A.
[L.1. Consideration and possible approval of an interlocal agreement between Hays CISD and Hays County to provide three (3) additional school resource officers (SRO) to Hays CISD]
THIS IS A CONSIDERATION, POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF OUR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN HAYS CISD AND HAYS COUNTY TO PROVIDE THREE ADDITIONAL SRO OFFICERS TO HAYS CISD. JERRY CROCKY.THIS IS ON PAGE 53 OF OUR AGENDA.
ANYTHING EXCITING ABOUT THIS? I MEAN, IT'S VERY EXCITING.
BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS ONE.
DO YOU WANT TO POINT THOSE OUT TO US? YES, DEFINITELY.
GOOD EVENING, Y'ALL. I HAD CONTACT WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE THIS PAST WEEK.
WE HAVE STARTED ONE OF OUR OFFICERS IN TRAINING WITH THE DISTRICT.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ONE NEW OFFICER TO HAYS CISD SRO CLAN.
SO WE'RE GETTING HIM CREDENTIALS AND GETTING HIM SQUARED AWAY.
IN REGARDS TO THAT, THEY ARE OFFERING THE PATROL POSITION TO THE SRO CADRE TO DETERMINE IF ONE OF THOSE OFFICERS THAT'S CURRENTLY ON A CAMPUS, WE'D LIKE TO TRANSITION INTO THAT PATROL DYNAMIC.
SO I'M VERY EXCITED THAT WE HAVE ONE READY TO GO.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE COUNTY GRACIOUSLY PUT IN IN A 5050 ON THIS PARTICULAR FIRST YEAR.
SO THEY ARE PICKING UP 50% OF THE COST OF THESE THREE OFFICERS, CERTAINLY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OUR OTHER TWO OFFICERS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER IN THAT WE WILL HAVE TO GET STAFFING TAKING CARE OF AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BEFORE THEY CAN MOVE SOME PEOPLE INTO THOSE OPEN POSITIONS.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ALSO HAVE DRIPPING SPRINGS AND WIMBERLEY.
SO WE ARE WHERE OUR SHARING BETWEEN THE THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO DETERMINE WHO GETS WHAT.
SO WE ARE WE'RE SUPER EXCITED.
THANK YOU TO THE HAYS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR SPLITTING THAT 50/50 FOR THE FIRST YEAR.
IT'S VERY GRACIOUS AND WE ARE GRATEFUL.
ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? OK THANK YOU, MR. CROCKETT. APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT.
[L.2. Consideration and possible approval of proposed defeasance and redemption of a portion of outstanding bonds]
PAGE 61 OF YOUR AGENDA.RANDY RAU IS HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS TEAM ON THIS? WHO CAN SPELL DEFEASANCE? OKAY. NEXT UP, WE HAVE L THREE AND THIS IS A CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CERTIFIED TAX VALUES FOR HAYES, CALDWELL AND TRAVIS COUNTIES.
[L.3. Consideration and possible acceptance of the Certified Tax Values for Hays, Caldwell and Travis Counties]
ON PAGE 86 OF YOUR AGENDA, RANDY RAU IS HERE AGAIN.YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THEM? BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE WE SAW.
FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT, I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO TELL US ABOUT THAT.
CAN I BACK UP ONE AND JUST TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE DEFEASANCE REAL QUICK YEAH.
THERE'S A GREAT STORY TO TELL THERE, TOO.
YOU BET. SO ON THE DEFEASANCE, WE'RE LOOKING AT PAYING OFF EARLY 17, ABOUT $17.8 MILLION WORTH OF WHAT'S CALLED VARIABLE RATE BONDS, WHICH WERE AT THE END OF THEIR TERM, WHICH MEANS WE WOULD HAVE TO BASICALLY, LIKE REFINANCE AT A NEW RATE BUT BY PAYING THESE OFF EARLY, PAYING OFF THE 17.8 MILLION.
WE'RE ACTUALLY SAVING 22 MILLION, $76,000 IN INTEREST PAYMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LIFE OF THOSE.
I'M SORRY. CAN I ASK THAT, RANDY SAY THAT NUMBER.
CAN HE SAY THAT NUMBER AGAIN? I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT ONE MORE. SAY THAT NUMBER AGAIN.
WHAT ARE WE SAVING IN INTEREST PAYMENTS? 22 MILLION.[INAUDIBLE] MILLION WITH AN M.
VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. NO, THAT'S HUGE.
THANK YOU. EVERY TIME I SEE THE WORD DEFEASANCE, I ALWAYS KNOW IT MEANS A GOOD THING.
BUT THEN I HAVE TO BE REMINDED WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.
SO THANK YOU. SO WE'RE PAYING IT OFF AND WE DON'T HAVE TO REFINANCE.
[02:30:03]
AND IT WAS A VARIABLE RATE, WHICH I KNOW WHEN I GO OUT FOR A LOAN, THAT'S ALWAYS A SCARY THING.WHEN YOU GET THE VARIABLE RATE, IS IT THE SAME THING ON BONDS? KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE BANKING ON IS TRYING TO REFINANCE THEM ON THE SHORT TERM, CORRECT? YEP. YIELD CURVE.
BUT WITH RATES AS WHAT THEY ARE, IT'S I MEAN, JUST PAYING IT OFF.
IT'S THAT'S A NO BRAINER FOR THAT.
AND THAT KIND OF PLAYS INTO THE REASON WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.
OUR PROPERTY VALUES DID INCREASE QUITE A BIT.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT THAT I HAVE FOR THAT PARTICULAR ITEM.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A 35% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR CERTIFIED VALUES.
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S DUE TO THE FACT OF HOME PRICES AND WHAT NOT GOING UP.
AND WE HAVE SEEN SOME OF THOSE COME DOWN LATE LATELY.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING 35% GOING FORWARD.
BUT JUST TO KIND OF KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE, WHEN DUSTY AND I DO THE MOCK UPS FOR DEBT CAPACITY FOR BONDS, WE ALWAYS WE USE 5% GROWTH AND WE ONLY TAKE THAT OUT LIKE FIVE YEARS AND THEN WE KEEP IT LEVEL AFTER THAT.
SO WE'RE IN A VERY GOOD POSITION WITH THIS AND JUST RIGHT NOW TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT TO BE ABLE TO PAY OFF DEBT EARLY.
GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION.
TEAM. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS COMMENTS, MR..
MCMANUS. I MEAN, WE WERE JOKING ABOUT READING IT AGAIN.
I'M THANKFUL THAT WE'RE HONESTLY THIS IS WHERE GROWTH PAYS OFF.
AND I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOU TALK ON THIS NEXT ONE A LITTLE BIT, TOO, ABOUT THE BUDGET, YOU KNOW, THE VALUES GOING UP AND MAYBE HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR CURRENT BUDGET AS WELL.
ALL RIGHT, GREAT. YOU NEED A LEAD WITH THAT ON YOUR TRANSMITTAL PIECE.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR TAX RATE ADOPTION ITEM ON PAGE 88.
[L.4. Consideration and possible adoption of the 2022-2023 Tax Rate]
WE'LL VOTE ON THIS NEXT WEEK.THIS IS ALSO SOME GOOD NEWS, RANDY, WHEN YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN IT TO US.
YEAH. THE WAY THE FUNDING MECHANISMS WORK NOW UNDER HOUSE BILL THREE.
AS YOUR PROPERTY VALUES INCREASE, IT HAS THE EFFECT OF COMPRESSING YOUR RATE.
AND SO FOR US, THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL ALMOST AN ADDITIONAL PENNY AND ON OUR M&O SIDE THIS YEAR AND SO OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
AND KEEP IN MIND, OVER THIS TIME PERIOD, WE ACTUALLY DECREASED OUR I&S RATE BY A PENNY AT ONE POINT DURING THAT TIME PERIOD AND ARE STILL ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR DEBT CAPACITY FOR FUTURE, FUTURE BONDS AND WHATNOT.
BUT OVER THE PAST 14 EXCUSE ME, PAST FOUR YEARS, WE'VE DECREASED THE RATE 19 AND A HALF CENTS.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOOD AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT UP.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A DECREASE SOMETIMES WHEN OUR OUR HOME APPRAISALS GO UP, BUT WE ARE REALLY TRYING AROUND HERE TO LOWER THE TAX BURDEN AND WE CAN DO THAT WITH SOME OF THE GROWTH WE'VE SEEN.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? MRS. OROSCO. MR. L I KNOW YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT THE DECREASE, SO TELL ME OVERALL HOW MUCH WE HAVE DECREASED IN THE PAST THREE YEARS OR SO.
SO OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAS BEEN 19, ALMOST $0.20.
SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY DECREASED BY $0.20.
THE TAX RATE, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE VOTED ON TO DECREASE.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
[L.5. Consideration and possible approval of the Kempton Group Termination Services Proposal for the 2022-2023 school year]
THIS IS DR. MEDINA'S ITEM.HE'S HERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS ITEM.
YEAH. I JUST THINK IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS.
WE MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM.
THERE'S A GOOD EXPLANATION IN OUR PACKET.
SO IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, WE'LL MOVE ON.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MR. DR. MEDINA. WE'RE GOOD THERE.
NEXT UP, THIS IS OUR STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT FOR 2022 2023.
[L.6. Consideration and possible adoption of the Student Code of Conduct for the 2022-2023 School Year]
TEAM. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE HANDBOOK.JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION.
[02:35:03]
I KNOW IT CAN GET CONFUSING, BUT THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT IS MARIVEL SEDILLO OR JESUS GOMEZ AND DR.BRIAN DAWSON IS WITH US TONIGHT.
SO THIS IS IN OUR PACKET ON PAGE 91.
MR. GOMEZ, DO YOU HAVE SOME WORDS FOR US? AND WE JUST HERE FOR QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE DR.
BRIAN DAHLSTROM, NEW DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES.
HE'S DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB AND HE'S WORKED HARD ON THIS.
SO IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS, HE'S PREPARED.
LET'S FIND SOME QUESTIONS FOR HIM THEN.
I'D LIKE HIS RIDE.[LAUGHTER] I HOLD ON.
WHERE IS THE DRESS CODE? WHAT PAGE? I DON'T HAVE THEM MEMORIZED BUT I CAN FIND IT.
I'M JUST JOKING, BUT I CAN FIND IT.
DAWSON, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.
I KNOW THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A TON OF CHANGES.
YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS FROM FOR THE STUDENT CODE.
THAT WAS THE ONE PIECE I WAS PREPARED TO TELL YOU.
THERE WERE NO LEGISLATIVE UPDATES.
SO. WELL, THIS SPRING WE MAY NOT GET SO LUCKY.
YEAH. MR. BAYLOR. YEAH, JUST A GENERAL QUESTION.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE SCHOOL HAS ALREADY STARTED.
THE SCHOOL YEAR HAS ALREADY STARTED. BUT DO WE? IS THERE A BETTER PLACE ON OUR CALENDAR FOR THIS FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR? YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION THAT I WAS WONDERING MYSELF.
SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH PEOPLE LATER.
ALSO, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT TASB RELEASES THE MOTTO UNTIL THE END OF JULY.
SO IT REALLY I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY EARLIER WE CAN DO IT.
DAWSON AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT QUESTION, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST WANT TO.
THAT IS A GREAT, GREAT QUESTION. WELCOME TO THE DISTRICT, DR.
DAWSON. ANSWER. WELL, MY GUESS IS IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER WITH TASB.
MAYBE SO. MAYBE SHE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
[LAUGHTER]. YEAH. THERE YOU GO.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS, MR. MCMANUS? SO JUST ON THE TRANSMITTAL, IT SAYS EDITS AND CHANGES WERE MADE.
BUT WHEN I THUMBED THROUGH IT, I DIDN'T SEE ANY LIKE COLOR DIFFERENCES.
EVERYTHING ELSE IMPLIES TO ME SOMETHING WAS CHANGED, BUT I COULDN'T FIND THOSE.
THERE WERE JUST VERY FEW GRAMMATICAL ERRORS.
AND THAT WAS. THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT THAT.
YES. YOU AND VANESSA WILL BE GOOD FRIENDS.
MAKES MY HEART SMILE RIGHT NOW.
NEXT UP IS OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT TEAM.
[L.7. Consideration and possible approval of the Social Contract for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees Dr. Eric Wright,]
ON PAGE 137, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE CHANGES WE MADE AND THEN A CLEAN VERSION.I HOPE THAT'S HELPFUL FOR YOU TO KIND OF SEE THAT AND VISUALIZE THAT.
IT'S GOT SOME A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS WE HAVE TO FIX.
ALL RIGHT. SO ON THE SOCIAL CONTRACT, OKAY.
AND IT DIDN'T GET TAKEN OUT EACH OTHER.
AND THEN DOES IT LOOK BETTER? YEAH, THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE TRACK CHANGES.
AND THEN WHEN YOU DID IT AND IT DIDN'T, IT DID ALL THE CHANGES INSTEAD OF ANYWAY.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, GREAT.
WE'LL VOTE ON THAT NEXT WEEK AND WE'LL HAVE A NEW SOCIAL CONTRACT.
IT'S VERY EXCITING. ALL RIGHT.
[L.8. Consideration and possible approval of the Vision Statement for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees Dr. Eric Wright,]
LET'S SEE IF I DID A BETTER JOB ON THE VISION STATEMENT.SO THE CHANGES TO OUR VISION STATEMENT, IT'S UPDATED TO NOW SAY ALL HAYS CISD LEARNERS WILL BE HIGHLY SOUGHT FOR COLLEGE, CAREER OR MILITARY.
DO WE WANT TO SAY SOUGHT AFTER? I THINK THAT IS SOUGHT AFTER.
YES. AND PREPARED FOR LIFE AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP.
[02:40:02]
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS AND COLLABORATORS.RESOURCEFUL AND CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS.
WE STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT TEAM.
WE WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT ON AUGUST 15TH.
OKAY, GREAT. SO WE'LL ADD HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER ON THAT ONE.
NEXT STEP IS OUR MISSION STATEMENT.
[L.9. Consideration and possible approval of the Mission Statement for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees Dr. Eric Wright,]
WE'VE MADE SOME CHANGES TO OUR MISSION STATEMENT.IT NOW READS, THE MISSION OF HAYS CISD IS TO EDUCATE VALUE AND NURTURE STUDENTS THROUGH INNOVATIVE AND PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WHILE CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY.
WE STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.
MR. VELA HAS TO READ IT A LOT.
DOESN'T SAY EXPERIENCES TWICE, SO THAT'S MAKES US FEEL GOOD.
I STILL LOVE IT AS EVERYONE STILL LIKE IT AFTER YOU'VE HAD SOME TIME TO SLEEP ON IT.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS OUR BELIEFS.
[L.10. Consideration and possible approval of the Beliefs of the Hays CISD Board of Trustees Dr. Eric Wright,]
WE MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO OUR BELIEFS.MAKE SURE I COPY THIS OVER CORRECTLY.
DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS TO WHAT WE DID HERE? BLESS YOU. I LOVE THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO SAY. AND BEING AN UNRIVALED EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ORGANIZATION, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL VOTE ON THAT ONE NEXT WEEK.
NEXT UP IS OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
[L.11. Review and possible adoption of the Board Operating Procedures Vanessa Petrea, Esperanza Orosco,]
AND WE HAVE THIS HANDOUT IN YOUR POCKET.THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD.
WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS ON AUGUST 15TH.
YOU GUYS HAVE HAD THIS WE SENT THIS AROUND.
MRS. OROSCO, DO YOU WANT TO WALK US THROUGH? I DON'T SEE PAGE NUMBERS ON THIS, SO LET ME COUNT THEM OUT.
ALL RIGHT. SO LIKE CLOSED SESSION AND BOARD COMMITTEES REFERENCE POLICY.
BDB IS THAT ABOUT WHERE WE WERE? SO IN THE CLOSED SESSION, WE JUST NEEDED TO ADD THAT WITH THE SECURITY.
AND I HAVE THE WORDING FOR THAT THAT YEAH, I SEE THAT ON THERE.
AND DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW YOU WERE DOING A GOOD JOB OF JUST GOING THROUGH PAGE BY PAGE AND TELLING US WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS YOU HAVE.
WE DID THAT CLOSED SESSION WHEN THE BOARD COMMITTEES STAYED THE SAME.
THE REQUEST INFORMATION ABOUT MEETING AGENDA ITEMS STAYED THE SAME AS WELL.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION IS WHAT WE CALL IT.
JUST TO MAKE IT MORE CONSISTENT AND THAT WAS STAYED THE SAME.
HOW TO VISIT CAMPUSES AS A BOARD MEMBER.
NEW ON HERE IS ORIENTATION OF NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
I KNOW WE HAVE NOT HAD A VERY SPECIFIC THING THAT WE DO WITH NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT THINGS TO BE COVERED.
BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND BOARD POLICIES.
RIGHT. THAT'S A HUGE THING SINCE MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET WELL, YOU DON'T GET ACCESS TO BOARD BOOK INTO AFTER YOU'RE SWORN IN AND YOU NEED TO LEARN REAL FAST HOW TO MANEUVER IT THROUGH THAT AND SO ON.
I WANT TO ASK, DO WE IS IT COVERED OR SHOULD WE ADD SOMETHING ABOUT GOING OVER AN AGENDA PACKET? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE WITH BOTH ESMERALDA AND BYRON, AND I FELT LIKE THAT WAS SUPER HELPFUL TO JUST WALK THEM THROUGH AN AGENDA PACKET, WHICH IS PUBLIC.
I MEAN, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY YOU CAN YOU CAN PUT THAT.
BUT IS IT DURING THE ORIENTATION OR OF THE BOARD MEMBER? IS THAT A SEPARATE I MEAN, IT'S BEFORE BEFORE THEY GO TO A BOARD MEETING.
I DO THAT FOR THEIR FIRST BOARD.
NOPE, IT'S NOT THE ORIENTATION.
YOU CAN TOTALLY INCLUDE IT IN THERE.
[02:45:04]
IT WOULDN'T BE THE ORIENTATION OF NEW BOARD MEMBERS.JUST. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S YOU CAN SAY PRIOR TO THE ORIENTATION, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE HAVE YOU HAVE THAT UP WITH THE LOGISTICAL FIRM BY THEIR FIRST BOARD MEETING, WHICH I THINK IS ALSO HELPFUL.
DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT ON THAT SENTENCE? THE PRESIDENT WILL REVIEW THE AGENDA PACKET.
SO THE SECOND SENTENCE TO THAT WOULD BE THE PRESIDENT.
WILL. AND SOMEBODY ELSE IS CAPTURING THIS, RIGHT? WILL REVIEW.
FOR, YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY THE REAL ONE BECAUSE THE AGENDA PACKET COMES OUT.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME, THOUGH.
SO MAYBE IT'S A SAMPLE MAYBE FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTH.
YEAH. WE'LL REVIEW AN AGENDA PACKET.
A RECENT AGENDA PACKET? YES, A RECENT AGENDA PACKET.
NOT FROM MY MEETING PACKET OR THE PREVIOUS MONTH'S AGENDA PACKET.
HOW ABOUT THAT? THE PREVIOUS MONTH'S.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD. I LIKE THE MENTOR.
AND I KNOW WE UNOFFICIALLY DO THAT.
BUT JUST MEMORIALIZING THAT IN WRITING AND THEN BOARD DEVELOPMENT.
OKAY. THE THING THAT WAS CROSSED OUT, WE JUST HAD A LIST OF THINGS, BUT IT'S ENCOMPASSED.
AND THEN ALSO WE DON'T NEED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TULSA TASB CONVENTION, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAD DONE SPECIFIC FOR THAT YEAR SINCE WE WENT BECAUSE WE WERE ON THE HONOR BOARD. AND THE ADDITIONS IT WOULD BE.
I THINK WE CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH MAKING SURE WE UNDERSTAND OUR BOARD ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
EVEN EXPERIENCED BOARD MEMBERS MIGHT HAVE TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE BOARD ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT.
WE CANNOT PUT OURSELVES IN THAT POSITION BECAUSE THAT IS NOT OUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GO TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND TRY TO SOLVE EVERYBODY'S PROBLEM.
WE SHOULD NOT BE, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S INVERTING HERE, RIGHT.
WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT DEFINED MBA, LEGAL AND LOCAL.
WRIGHT 20 MILLION TIMES A DAY WITH MY NEW THINGS, WITH SMALL LITTLE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS. HE HAS A JOB TO DO AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET OUT OF THE WAY AND DO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHEN UNDERSTANDING YOUR BOARD ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IS CRITICAL.
MS. OROSCO GOING BACK TO THE TRAINING, I KNOW IN THE PAST WE SAID THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF HOURS.
DO WE STILL FEEL LIKE THAT? THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
IS THAT IN THAT? TELL ME WHAT SENTENCE.
ALL COSTS FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING WILL BE THE RESPONSIBLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS STILL SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO.
I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME BOARD MEMBERS IN THE PAST THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SOME TRAINING.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT SAME ISSUE.
SO I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT UP.
I THINK WE CAN DELETE THAT AND START WITH THE DISTRICT WILL COVER THE COST OF REGISTRATION, TRAVEL AND LODGING FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS. DO WE WANT TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE.
A REASONABLE NUMBER OF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUST TO KEEP THAT IN CHECK.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT NEEDS TO BE THE MINIMUM.
YES, I THINK TAKE OUT THE WORD MINIMUM.
AND. BOARD MEMBER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION.
TAKE OUT THE WORD MINIMUM AND REQUIREMENT.
[02:50:01]
AND THEN.ADDITIONAL TRAINING [INAUDIBLE].
THEN WE CAN GET RID OF THAT LAST ONE.
AND I BELIEVE WE'RE ONLY MEMBERS OF TASB IS WHAT WE ARE MEMBERS OF.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS LISTED, IS THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING A SELF EVALUATION IN CLOSED SESSION AND THEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THAT EVALUATION OF THE BOARD.
IT'S AN EVALUATION OF THE BOARD, NOT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
SO APRIL IS THE ONLY THING THAT I CHANGED.
IF WE WANT TO DO THAT IN APRIL, SINCE WE HAVE ELECTION IN MAY, WE'LL HAVE NEW PEOPLE, RIGHT? SO I'M THINKING APRIL MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT.
OKAY. AND MR. MCMANUS HAS A QUESTION.
WELL, AND MR. VELA. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE SOME THINGS AS A BOARD ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WON'T ALWAYS BE ON THIS BOARD.
IT DOESN'T PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS BOARD VERY EASILY, SAYING, YEAH, IT'S A GREAT IDEA, WHY DON'T YOU GO DO THAT? BUT I'M AFRAID IF WE JUST OPEN IT BACK UP AGAIN, WE'RE OPENING.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I COULD KIND OF GO WITH WHATEVER THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS.
I'M JUST IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT THAT COULD JUST POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.
IF WE IF WE DO THAT, COULD WE DO A SITUATION WHERE YOU JUST HAVE TO GET APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OR DO WE DO WE WANT TO SAY IT HAS TO COME TO THE BOARD, THE WHOLE BOARD? I JUST I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO VOTE ON EVERY TIME WE DO THIS.
MR. VELLA YEAH, I KIND OF HAVE SOME OF THE SAME SENTIMENT THAT MR. MCMANUS SAID THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE A MINIMUM THRESHOLD IN THERE, BUT ALSO THAT.
THAT FIRST FULL PARAGRAPH THAT'S NOT STRUCK OUT IN THE DOCUMENT UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED.
THE LAST PHRASE UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE BOARD.
SHOULD THAT BE BOARD OR SHOULD THAT BE BOARD PRESIDENT? NO. IT WAS BORED.
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE BOARD PRESIDENT.
WE'VE JUST BEEN DOING THE MINIMUM.
WE JUST CHANGED IT LAST YEAR TO SAY THAT BECAUSE BEFORE IT WAS EVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE STRICTER.
AND I MEAN, WE COULD KEEP AT THE MINIMUM, YOU KNOW, AND THEN MOVE FROM THERE.
BUT YOU DO REVIEW THIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, RIGHT? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE DO REVIEW ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
WE CAN DO THAT AFTER OUR SELF EVALUATION EVEN.
WELL, WHAT SORT OF LEGAL MEANS AND METHODS DO WE HAVE FOR APPROVING TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF A VOTE BY THE BOARD? IF WE RESTRICT IT TO MINIMUM, COULD IT SAY SOMETHING LIKE UNLESS OTHERWISE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY SO THAT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE PERSON LOOKING AT IT? YES. SO WE COULD PROBABLY PUT IT MEMBERS AS PUBLISHED THAT ADDITIONAL TRAINING WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY AT THAT PART. YOU COULD SAY ADDITIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO BE APPROVED BY.
YOU WANT TO SAY REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY? REVIEWED AND APPROVED.
BY. BOARD PRESIDENT, SECRETARY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH MINIMUM.
KEEP AT A MINIMUM. WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT GOING WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT.
THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T WORK EITHER.
SO MAYBE WE CAN GET THE INFORMATION ON WHAT THE COST IS RIGHT FOR A BUDGET.
BECAUSE, I MEAN, WHAT IF YOU YOU'RE IN SAN ANTONIO.
YOU STILL HAVE $500 LEFT TO GO TO ANOTHER TRAINING.
[02:55:03]
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GET A BUDGETED AMOUNT.I KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF A BUDGETED AMOUNT PER BOARD MEMBER.
YEAH, I LIKE THAT IDEA AS WELL, BECAUSE WHAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE, THE COST OF THE AVERAGE CONFERENCE THAT WE GO TO? YEAH, WE MOSTLY DRIVE.
BUT I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE GOVERNANCE ONE MIGHT BE IN GALVESTON AND WE DRIVE TO GALVESTON, TOO.
WE DRIVE ALL OF THEM ARE DRIVING DISTANCE FOR SURE.
SO MAYBE WE CAN JUST LOOK AT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, RIGHT, THAT WE HAVE SPENT BY GOING TO SAN ANTONIO, GOING TO FORT WORTH, GOING TO GALVESTON, AND THEN TAKING AN AVERAGE OF THAT.
RIGHT. AND COME BACK WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT.
GLORIA, CAN YOU HELP US WITH THAT? AND I'M GOING TO CAPTURE IT IN MY QUESTIONS.
OKAY. BUT SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO FIND OUT THE INFORMATION.
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO MORE THAN ONE EXTRA TRAINING A YEAR.
BUT, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, MR. MCMANUS ASKED IF WE HAD SOMEBODY THAT WAS LIKE, I WANT TO GO TO A TRAINING A MONTH AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING REALLY TO PROTECT US.
THAT WOULD BE WE HAVE THAT SET DOLLAR AMOUNT DO WITH IT.
YEAH. AND DO ANYTHING OVER AND ABOVE THAT IS ON YOUR OWN.
SO APRIL IS GOOD FOR SELF EVALUATION OF THE BOARD.
YEAH, I DID SEE THAT ON THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION RECOMMENDATION.
SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PRACTICE THAT WE SHOULD GET ON BOARD WITH.
I LOVE IT. RAUL HAS A QUESTION.
WRIGHT. I'M GOING TO SAY OR ANY OTHER SUPERINTENDENT, BUT WE KNOW DR.
WRIGHT IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE HERE FOR 30 YEARS, AS WE'VE SAID FROM THE DAIS.
BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, GIVING HIM IN THAT OFFICE A CHANCE TO EVALUATE HOW WE'RE DOING.
I MEAN, HOW ARE WE SUPPORTING, YOU KNOW, HIM OR HER IN THEIR ROLE? SO BUT THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EVALUATION INSTRUMENT THAT'S NOT CREATED.
I THINK WE CAN RECEIVE THAT INPUT AT ANY TIME WHEN WE MEET WITH DR.
WRIGHT. AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT A LATER DATE, BUT THERE'S NOT AN INSTRUMENT, RIGHT? SO IT'S KIND OF HARD. THAT'S REALLY SUBJECTIVE, IF YOU WILL.
AND WE KIND OF DO THAT DURING THE FORMATIVE CAN WE CAN GET THAT FROM WELL, WE ALWAYS ASK HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
YEAH. BUT I DO WANT TO SEE US DOING BOARD GOALS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT DONE OUR OWN GOALS AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE US AFTER WE DO THE SELF EVALUATION OF THE BOARD HAVE COME UP WITH BOARD GOALS AS WELL TO ADOPT IN FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
INSTEAD OF DOING THEM IN AUGUST LIKE WE DO NOW, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT DISTRICT ABOUT I'M TALKING ABOUT OUR GOALS AS A BOARD OR OUR JUST OUR BOARD BASED ON OUR SELF EVALUATION. AND I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT AUGUST.
SO MAYBE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO SAY BY APRIL.
MAYBE INSTEAD OF EACH APRIL? YEAH. BY APRIL.
BY APRIL, THE BOARD WILL CONDUCT A SELF EVALUATION IN CLOSED SESSION AND TO BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE EVALUATION INSTRUMENT AND THE BOARD WILL DEVELOP THE BOARD.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY THE BOARD. WELL, WE'LL DEVELOP BOARD GOALS OUT OF THAT EVALUATION AS WELL.
OKAY. MR. VELA YEAH. SO I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY QUICK QUESTION ON THAT, BECAUSE IN MAY WE HAVE ELECTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BRINGING POTENTIALLY BRINGING ON NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND.
BUT HOW DOES THAT LOOK? I THINK AUGUST WORKS JUST LIKE HOW WE DO FOR OUR.
DEPENDING ON HOW THE ELECTION GOES.
I KIND OF HAD THE SAME THOUGHT AS MR. VELA BECAUSE IF HE, MYSELF AND ESMERALDA.
WE'D SET BOARD GOALS AND THEN WE PUT 83% OF YOUR BOARD COULD BE CLOSED SESSION BY AUGUST.
NO. WELL, IT'S TOO LATE FOR US NOW BY SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER.
THE BOARD. LET'S PUT A PIN IN THAT.
I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BOARD WHAT BOARD GOALS MEANS, BUT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BOARD GOALS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SELF EVALUATION.
[03:00:07]
WOULD THAT BE WEIRD? BECAUSE WE'D HAVE CBAS.BUT IT'S A SELF-EVALUATION ON HOW WE WORK AS A TEAM.
I KNOW. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.
I FEEL LIKE FEBRUARY IS EARLY TO DO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW. I WAS THINKING SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER.
YEAR. OCTOBER WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE SOMEBODY THAT THEY RENEW FROM MAY.
YES. BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FROM MAY UNTIL OCTOBER.
IF YOU WEREN'T RUNNING AGAIN, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT YET.
SO BY OCTOBER IS THE SELF EVALUATION AND I'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE BOARD GOALS AND SEND IT OUT AND THEN WE CAN SEE HOW THAT WORKS IN THERE.
AND THEN THE ELECTING BOARD OFFICERS, WHATEVER IS IN BOLD MATURITY.
AND THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE.
THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPEN TO DO NO OFFICER.
AND MORE AND MORE DISTRICTS ARE MOVING TO THIS.
NO OFFICER CAN HOLD OFFICE WITHOUT SERVING A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS ON THE BOARD.
DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO REORGANIZATION AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS MAY BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION, WHICH YOU'LL BE SURPRISED THAT MANY BOARDS DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION.
THEY DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT.
IN THEIR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES OR ANYTHING.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SERVING ON AS AN OFFICER.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
DO YOU WANT TO ADD SOME WORDING THAT SAYS UNLESS NOBODY QUALIFIED? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. YES.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN THAT SITUATION, BUT HAVE IT STAGGERED.
CORRECT. AND WE CAN GO TO ONE YEAR.
I THINK I'D FEEL BETTER WITH ONE YEAR JUST NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUTURE OF THIS BOARD IS GOING TO BE.
MR. RUNKLE, I WAS GOING TO SAY TO YOU THAT I'M NOT QUITE COMFORTABLE WITH TWO YEARS.
I'D PREFER ONE YEAR JUST BECAUSE I DO KNOW IN THE PAST HAVEN'T WE HAD BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN OFFICERS THEIR FIRST YEAR? NO, NOT HERE.
THEIR FIRST YEAR OR SECOND YEAR.
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY SECOND YEAR.
I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR SECOND YEAR.
MAYBE NOT YOUR FIRST YEAR, FOR SURE.
YOUR SECOND YEAR? YEAH. YOU'RE FOR SURE. YOUR SECOND YEAR.
OKAY. SO THEN WE'RE GOING TO PUT ONE.
I LIKE ONE. THE NEXT PIECE IS COMMUNICATION THAT IS THE SAME.
AND WE DO HAVE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
I KNOW MANY FOLKS HAVE PUT IT NOT TO EXCEED 3 MINUTES INSTEAD OF THE 5 MINUTES.
AND I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.
IS IT ON HERE? I'M LOOKING FOR IT.
I SEE. THAT'S WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE 5 MINUTES.
I LIKE 5 MINUTES, BUT I ALSO LIKE I WANT 30 MINUTES AS THE TIME TOTAL.
I LIKE THAT 3 MINUTES BECAUSE 5 MINUTES IS A LONG TIME.
I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL HEARD.
MS. PETREA? MR. VAILE, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT? YEAH, I'VE SEEN OTHER BOARD MEETINGS AND I'VE SEEN WHERE YOU CAN DO 3 MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL.
IF YOU'RE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A GROUP, YOU CAN GET A FEW MORE, YOU KNOW, YOU GET THE 5 MINUTES.
THE WHAT 3 MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL NOT TO EXCEED 3 MINUTES FOR ONE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON.
UNLESS YOU'RE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A GROUP, THEN YOU CAN BE ALLOTTED 5 MINUTES.
NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT. BUT AGAIN, I MEAN, THE PRESIDING OFFICER.
SO NO? YOU CAN'T. WELL, THAT'S ON HERE SPEAKING.
CAN WE DO THAT? GROUPS OF FIVE OR MORE PEOPLE WISHES WERE ENCOURAGED.
SO ENCOURAGED AND SUGGESTED BECAUSE LEGALLY YOU CANNOT LEGALLY WE CAN NOT DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM SO.
BUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO 3 MINUTES OR LESS.
BUT THEN THE PRESIDING OFFICER GETS TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF IF WE HAVE 30 MINUTES.
RIGHT. IF WE HAVE MORE, IF IT'S YEAH.
IF IT'S 15 PEOPLE AND IT'S 30 MINUTES, THEN WE HAVE SAID WE'LL DO IT FOR AN HOUR.
BUT SURE WE'VE CHANGED THE TIME TO 2 MINUTES OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
[03:05:02]
OKAY. THANK YOU, MS. RUNKLE. YES.I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT AT 5 MINUTES.
I TO SHARE THAT I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HEARD.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE WALK UP HERE AND JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH IN 3 MINUTES AND THEY'RE RUSHING THROUGH IT.
SO I WANT TO GIVE THEM MORE TIME.
BUT IF WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE SHOW UP IN A BOARD ROOM, I'M GOOD WITH 5 MINUTES.
OKAY. I LIKE 5 MINUTES WHEN WE HAD ALL THE PEOPLE.
LAST AUGUST, WE GAVE THEM 2 MINUTES.
AND WE DID THAT IN AN HOUR, I THINK, BECAUSE HOW WE DID THAT.
AND THEY WERE PRETTY MAD AT US THAT THEY ONLY HAD 2 MINUTES.
SO I FEEL LIKE 3 MINUTES WHEN WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER OR TWO SPEAKERS JUST FEELS.
TONIGHT'S 2 MINUTES OR 3 MINUTES.
WE COULD DO THAT. AND THE LAW SAYS A MINUTE.
BUT IS THAT IN HERE? NOW. WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT.
SORRY, MR. MCMANUS, YOU HAD SOMETHING.
I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THE 5 MINUTES.
AS LONG AS WE ADHERE TO THE 30 MINUTE MAX.
YES. AND THAT IS SOMETHING I'VE SEEN OTHER BOARDS DO, WHICH IS WILD, Y'ALL.
IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN OTHER BOARDS, THEY WILL AT THE AGENDA ITEM STOP AND TAKE PUBLIC FORUM FOR EACH AGENDA ITEM THAT THE PERSON AND IF IT'S A NON AGENDA THEY DON'T LET THEM TALK.
I HOPE YOU STICK AROUND. WHATEVER, INSTEAD OF THIS REALLY WEIRD BOUNCING AROUND.
I MEAN, I'M GLAD WE DON'T DO ANY OF THAT.
WE DID THAT. IT IS RIDICULOUS.
OKAY. SO THEN THE NEXT ONE IS COMMUNICATING WITH TEAM MEMBERS BETWEEN MEETINGS.
OH, SO WE HAD A VERY SHORT LITTLE SNIPPET.
SO THIS ONE IS MORE OUTLINED AND IT IS ADDRESSED IN B LOCAL, BUT IT BRINGS IT TO THE FOREFRONT.
WE WANT TO SAY RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
WHERE ARE WE PUTTING RIGHT THIS MINUTE? THIS IS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND THE BOARD MEMBERS.
BUT HE NEEDS TO HAVE A SPECIAL COMMUNICATION WITH US.
I THINK THIS IS THE ONE I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, DR.
BUT WE MIGHT NOT NEED IT BASED ON ALL THE INFORMATION AND THE UPDATES THAT WE GET.
WHAT DO YOU HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? LOOK AT THAT FACE.
LET ME THINK ON THAT ONE SO WE CAN PUT THAT ONE IN A LITTLE BRACKETS AND WE'LL PUT A PIN ON IT AND DR. WRIGHT CAN SLEEP ON IT.
IT COULD BE MAYBE PROVIDE US ENOUGH, BUT.
YES. THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BECAUSE WE GET IT.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT B. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT B.
SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A WEEKLY BOARD INFORMATION PACKET LIKE? IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER PACKET OF.
LIKE, THIS IS WHAT WE DID THIS WEEK.
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE.
BUT IT ENCOMPASSES THOSE FOUR THINGS.
[03:10:01]
DISTRICT EVENTS, PROGRESS REPORTS, FOLLOW UP ON ANSWER.BUT I MEAN, THAT'S ALREADY ALL DONE EXCEPT FOR LIKE B, A, C AND D.
SO WHEN SOME OF THESE PROPOSED CHANGES JUST IN GENERAL, DO YOU HAVE SOME EXAMPLES LIKE JUST A TEMPLATE THAT COULD BE FOLLOWED? THIS IS THESE ARE FROM HIGH PERFORMING DISTRICTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL POLICY FROM.
WE WERE A PRETTY HIGH PERFORMING DISTRICT.
I APPRECIATE THE INPUT. I KNOW I'M MAKING SOME JOKES, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE PRETTY AWESOME.
BUT IF THERE'S A TEMPLATE, YOU KNOW, BE EVEN MORE AWESOME WITH THAT WEEKLY REPORT.
I MEAN, I'M GETTING A LOT OF THIS IN BOARD.
BLOGS HAVE IT? YES, WE ALREADY HAVE IT.
EXCEPT FOR B, B'S THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY ISN'T ADDRESS.
OH, NO. MR. SAVOY HAS A THOUGHT.
MADAM PRESIDENT, 30 SECOND THOUGHT.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. NO, I JUST WANTED TO ADD.
WE USED TO DO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ALL WERE ON THE BOARD AT THE TIME.
YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN. WE USED TO DO A WEEKLY INSTEAD OF BOARD BLOG.
DO WE GET THOSE? THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO PUT DOWN BECAUSE I THINK WE GET THOSE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD. I THINK THEY DO.
ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS WE ALWAYS RAN INTO THAT.
AND YOU ALL WERE GETTING THE WEEKLY PLUS THREE EXTRA THINGS.
I GET MS. SHROCHYS NEWSLETTER.
I WANT MS. SEDILLO NEWSLETTER.
I THINK THE INTENT OF THIS IS PROBABLY GOOD AND I GET IT.
WRIGHT IN HIS OFFICE FEELING LIKE THEY'VE GOT TO CATER WEEKLY TO OUR NEED FOR INFORMATION.
I FEEL PERFECTLY UPDATED WITH BOARD BLOG.
YES. WELL, BOARD BLOGS A MESS, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
WE CAN PUT THE SUPERINTENDENT OR COMMUNICATION WITH EACH BOARD.
BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED A WEEKLY INFORMATION PACKET.
WRIGHT WRITE? I LIKE THAT BETTER BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS HUGE FOR ME.
AND THE MORE I HAVE TO STAY AND DO FORMALIZED REPORTS, THE LESS I GET TO BE ON CAMPUSES AND SEE OUR PEOPLE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEORY AND COMMUNICATION IS GOING TO THE END USER. AND THAT'S HUGE TO ME.
I THINK THAT'S HOW COME WE ARE A HIGH PERFORMING DISTRICT.
BUT I'M OPEN AND WE CAN COME UP WITH A GOOD SOLUTION FOR IT.
I THINK THE SUPERINTENDENTS OFFICE WILL CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH BOARD MEMBERS.
THAT MAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.
OKAY. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I HAD.
THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE WILL CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH BOARD MEMBER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE THINKING? THAT MAY INCLUDE INFORMATION SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING.
SO I'LL FIX IT AND THEN SEND IT TO.
WE'RE NOT GETTING RID OF THIS STUFF ON THE LEFT.
AND THAT ONE WAS REALLY IMPORTANT, RIGHT? BOARD ELECTRONIC AND WRITING COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING DISTRICT ISSUES SHALL BE ROUTED THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE.
OH, SORRY, MR. RUNKLE. THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT VELA.
CAN WE GET THESE CHANGES, THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN AN EDITING FORM SO I CAN SEE WHAT IS.
NOW WE'RE HIGHLIGHTED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO TRACK CHANGES IN POWERPOINT.
THAT'S FINE. IF WE CAN JUST HIGHLIGHT IT, THAT'S FINE.
BUT I TOO. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS, AND I DON'T WANT TO CREATE MORE WORK FOR DR.
SO I DON'T I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT A WEEKLY REPORT OR A PERSONAL RIGHT THIS MINUTE VIDEO.
[03:15:12]
MR. OROSCO. MR. RAU IS BEING SO LOUD HERE IN MR. CLEAVER. YES, MR. RUNKLE. WE'RE REALLY FIXING IT.I LEFT IT THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS SO GREAT.
BUT IT'S JUST. REAL QUICK MS. OROSCO, I'M SO SORRY.
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING.
ONLY COMMUNICATE ON THE MEDIA.
BACK ON THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEAM MEMBERS.
BETWEEN ME. BETWEEN OH, BETWEEN OTHER BOARD MEMBERS.
I DON'T KNOW. IS THERE A PLACE WHERE.
AND NEVER MIND. I'LL TALK TO YOU OFFLINE ABOUT IT.
SO THE MEDIA IS WHAT OUR CURRENT BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURE SAYS.
AND EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A SPOKESPERSON.
HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT LOSE YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO SPEAK.
THE NEW ONE IS COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMMUNITY.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR ROLES IS BOARD ENGAGEMENT.
SO IT TALKS ABOUT HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY EVENTS, RIGHT.
AND HOW TO RELAY INFORMATION ABOUT DISTRICT GOALS AND ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MAKING SURE THAT THE BOARD, THEY KNOW YOU'RE SPEAKING. THEY'RE SPEAKING TO YOU, YOU'RE NOT THE SPOKESPERSON.
SHOULD WE SAY MAKE NO COMMITMENT OR PROMISES.
DOES IT SAY THAT ON THERE, YEAH IT SAYS THAT MAKE NO COMMITMENT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OR DISTRICT.
I LOVE IT. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT.
THE NEXT ONE IS HOW TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY OR EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS.
OURS IS COMPLAINTS TO BOARD MEMBERS VERY SIMILAR.
IT JUST HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION.
MORE INFORMATION ON THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.
CHAIN OF COMMAND. I CAN'T EVEN TALK TODAY.
SO IT TALKS ABOUT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.
WHICH WE SHOULD BE REFERRING PEOPLE TO WHEN WE GET A COMPLAINT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
WE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO SOLVE THEM.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REFER THEM BACK TO THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.
WE OUR JOB IS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM AND EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS.
OF INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
SO THAT IS JUST THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO ADDRESS THAT.
AND THEN COMMUNICATING THIS ONE IS ALSO NEW.
HOW WHEN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, YOU'RE ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS AND CORRESPONDENCE AND SO ON, EMAIL, SOCIAL MEDIA, WHATEVER. KEEP IN MIND THAT SUCH RESPONSES MAY BE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST, AND A MEMBER RETAINS THE RIGHT TO RESPOND TO AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT MUST UNDERSTAND THAT SUCH COMMUNICATION MAY BE INTERPRETED BY THE READER AS BEING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE BOARD, AND THE MEMBER SHOULD CLARIFY THAT HE OR SHE IS RESPONDING AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND NOT FOR THE BOARD.
SO THAT MEANS THE WHOLE BOARD FEELS THAT WAY.
NO, HE'S NOT THE SPOKESPERSON.
THERE'S ONLY ONE SPOKESPERSON.
AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EMAILS AND DON'T RESPOND TO ANONYMOUS EMAILS.
BACK IN THE DAY MR. SAVOY REMEMBER SAYS YOU KNOW WE DID HAVE A LOT OF ANONYMOUS EMAILS THAT WERE COMING IN AND THEN OF A BOARD MEMBER RECEIVES AN EMAIL THAT SEEMS TO BE THREATENING YOU FORWARDED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT, CHIEF OF SAFETY AND SECURITY.
SO THAT'S ALL FOR THE COMMUNICATING.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. AND THEN COMPLIANCE, THAT IS OUR CURRENT BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.
HOWEVER, I THE ONLY CHANGES HERE WERE THE DATES BECAUSE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE LIKE FORMATIVE EVALUATIONS IN FEBRUARY, AUGUST AND NOVEMBER. WELL, WE HAVEN'T EVEN ADOPTED OUR GOALS, SO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A FORMATIVE EVALUATION IN AUGUST.
SO I HAD CHANGED THE DATES TO OCTOBER, JANUARY AND APRIL, I THINK.
WELL, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FIGURED OUT THE MONTHS RIGHT ON THIS.
THE QUARTERLY FORMATIVE EVALUATIONS AND THEN THE SUMMATIVE EVALUATION.
[03:20:04]
IT USED TO SAY WE NEEDED TO DO IT BY MAY, WHICH WE DO NOT GET IT DONE BY MAY ITS IN JUNE.WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE DATA.
YEAH, EXACTLY. BUT THAT'S WHAT IT USED TO SAY WAS MAY.
AND SO NOW IT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PRACTICING, WHICH IS JUNE.
AND SO THAT WAS THOSE WERE THE ONLY CHANGES THERE.
DR. WRIGHT YOU LIKE THOSE FOR THE FORMATIVE? I DO. IT'S IN LINE WITH OUR PRACTICE.
YEAH. AND THEN I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS PAPER STAPLED HERE.
THIS TEMPLETON INFO IS NOT PART OF OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
I DON'T KNOW. SO THEN WE HAVE THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE, NOT JUST WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TO UPDATE OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION STATEMENT.
AND MANY PEOPLE DO HAVE APPENDIXES WITH THEIR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES LIKE TO INCLUDE THAT NEW BOARD MEMBER CHECKLIST THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT WOULD BE LIKE AN ATTACHMENT. AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE.
AWESOME. MR. VELA? YEAH. I MEAN, I JUST WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU, MS. OROSCO, FOR PUTTING A LOT OF WORK IN THIS.
SO, YOU KNOW, JUST THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
AND WE GET A CHANCE TO DISCUSS AND TOSS AROUND IDEAS.
NOW THAT WE'VE PUT EVERYONE TO SLEEP IN THE AUDIENCE.
BUT THANK YOU FOR LETTING US GEEK OUT ABOUT OUR OWN PROCEDURES.
SO THANK YOU, MS. OROSCO THAT WAS AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT. WE GOT THROUGH ALL OF OUR BIG ACTION ITEMS FOR NEXT WEEK.
UNLESS I'VE MISSED SOMETHING, HAVE I MISSED ANYTHING? I'VE GOT CHECKMARKS BY EVERYTHING.
CALENDAR, APPRAISAL, CALENDAR AND TIMELINE.
[M.1. 2022-2023 Appraisal Calendar and Timeline]
THIS IS DR. MEDINA, PAGE 166 OF OUR AGENDA AND WE'VE GOT A HANDOUT I AM PASSING AROUND RIGHT NOW.DR. WRIGHT, DO YOU HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH THE.
YEAH, WE DO HAVE ONE MORE FOR BYRON FOR LATER.
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED A CONSTITUTION.
SO WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER, AND I ASKED DR.
MEDINA TO CONSIDER MAKING A CHANGE, SINCE WE ARE OFFERING TWO YEAR CONTRACTS NOW TO LINE UP THE ADMINISTRATOR CONTRACT RENEWALS WITH MY TIMELINE AND WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR ME WITH MY SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION.
SO THAT WAY WE WILL RECEIVE ALL THE DATA FOR THE YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE MET OUR GOALS.
AND SO THE OLD TIMELINE WAS CREATED BECAUSE IN ORDER TO MEET SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS BY THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, IF YOU'RE ONLY GIVEN ONE YEAR CONTRACTS, YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO LINE UP WITH THOSE.
BUT BECAUSE WE ARE OFFERING TWO YEAR CONTRACTS, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS THAT WE COMPLETE OUR ADMINISTRATOR APPRAISALS BY JUNE THE 12TH, AND THEN WE BRING TO THE BOARD THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE SO THAT THEN HR CAN WORK THROUGH THE INPUTTING OF THAT DATA AND PROCESS BY THE TIME WE GET TO JULY.
AND SO REALLY THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEAR.
DID I MISS ANYTHING ON THAT? DR. MEDINA? JUST A LITTLE MORE.
GOOD EVENING. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
WRIGHT SINCE BRINGING THE TWO YEAR CONTRACT.
OBVIOUSLY THAT GIVES YOU AN ADDITIONAL YEAR.
BUT SHOULD THE BOARD WANT TO TAKE ACTION ON A CONTRACT? SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A CONTRACT WAS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE THE NEXT YEAR, YOU WOULD WANT TO EITHER RENEW OR NOT TERMINATE OR NOT RENEW THAT CONTRACT.
AND THAT HAS TO HAPPEN TEN DAYS BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF INSTRUCTION.
AND SO THAT'S WHY IT SAYS MARCH 27, IN THE EVENT THAT THERE WAS A NON-RENEWAL OR TERMINATION.
AND SO YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO USE THAT, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT WE DO, IT WOULD BE MARCH 27TH.
AND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMELINE THAT HAS BEEN USED IN THE PAST.
[03:25:01]
DR. MEDINA FOR THE JUNE 19TH, CAN WE CHANGE THAT TO JUNE 20TH, SINCE THAT'S OUR DATE OF OUR BOARD MEETING FOR 2023, I THINK JUNE 19 IS A HOLIDAY.SO WE MOVED THAT TO TUESDAY, JUNE 20TH.
I THINK I RECOMMEND AND TRUSTEE, PRESIDENT PETRIE ON THAT DAY.
I WOULD ASK, IF POSSIBLE, IF THE BOARD COULD.
I KNOW IT'S NOT A BUSINESS MEETING, BUT IF THEY COULD TAKE ACTION ON THAT DAY.
WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT THEY SIGN THEIR CONTRACT, THAT WE COMPLETE THEIR EVALUATIONS, BECAUSE THEN WE GET INTO THE PENALTY FREE RESIGNATION PERIOD IN JULY, WHICH MEANS WE CAN'T TECHNICALLY HOLD THEM TO A CONTRACT THEY HAVEN'T SIGNED.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT, DR.
WRIGHT? WE'RE GOOD. I THANK YOU FOR THOSE CHANGES THAT REALLY ALIGNS BETTER.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THOSE CHANGES.
AND I CAN'T SEE YOU, DR. MEDINA, BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO US.
ALL RIGHT. M2, PURCHASING, CO-OP FEES.
[M.2. Purchasing Coop Fees]
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PAGE 169 OF YOUR AGENDA.THIS IS AN INFORMATION ONLY ITEM.
ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO QUESTIONS.
I'LL MOVE ON THEN TO OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN THREE.
[M.3. Financial Statements]
RANDY RAU IS STILL HERE WITH QUESTIONS.AND I DON'T SEE ANY PAPERS IN HERE.
MR. RAU ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
YOU JUST SENT US SOME INFORMATION, IS THAT CORRECT? ALL RIGHT. GOT IT.
WE'RE GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? AND THEN WE HAVE M4.
[M.4. Update on construction and renovation projects in the district]
THIS IS UPDATE ON OUR CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION PROJECTS IN THE DISTRICT, WHICH WE'VE HAD PLENTY OF TONIGHT.UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER. YES, WE DO. MS. RUNKLE HAS A QUESTION FOR MR. CLEAVER. MR. CLEAVER, DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE CONSTRUCTION CONCRETE WORK IN FRONT OF MCCORMICK AND WHEN WE CAN EXPECT CONCRETE TO BE POURED? I DO NOT, BUT I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
THERE'S A LOT OF MCCORMICK PEOPLE THAT WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THAT.
IS THAT THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE OF MCCORMICK PLACE, DAISY LANE.
REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT AND DID CAMPUS WALKTHROUGHS? THAT'S NOT. IT'S STILL BAD.
YEAH. I'LL GET IN CONTACT WITH THE COUNTY FOLKS AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
I WILL SAY I WANT TO THANK YOU TO MARK, MR. COMMISSIONER JONES AND ALSO BUDA PD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE HELPED WITH THE TRAFFIC FLOW OUT THERE IN THE MEAN TIME.
BUT I KNOW THAT THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO GET IT TO GET IT DONE.
ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON CONSTRUCTION? RENOVATIONS. GREAT.
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AGAIN.
I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT SAYS IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A REPEAT OR.
THAT'S AN ERROR. SO WE'LL MOVE ON.
[M.6. First Reading - Policy Revision Recommendations to FL (LOCAL)]
THIS IS A POLICY REVISION TO FL LOCAL.MR. SAVOY IS BRINGING THIS TO US.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? IT'S ON PAGE 178.
YOU CAN SEE THE MINOR CHANGES HE IS PROPOSING.
WRIGHT, YOU'RE MEETING WITH THE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATIONS TO DISCUSS THIS WEEK.
AND THEN WE HAVE A TON OF NEW TASB POLICY UPDATES STARTING ON PAGE 179.
[M.7.

THIS IS OUR FIRST READING ON THOSE.ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT, GREAT.
ANY REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD OTHER THAN WHAT WE'VE ALREADY REQUESTED? ALL RIGHT. MISS OROZCO, WOULD YOU PLEASE ITEM OH, ON OUR AGENDA IS TO RECAP ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE ASKED OUR ADMINISTRATION AND DR.
[O. RECAP OF QUESTIONS]
WRIGHT TONIGHT. SO AT THIS TIME, I'LL ASK FOR A RECAP.[03:30:03]
OKAY. SO I NOTATED ON THIS GOOGLE FORM, THE AGENDA ITEM, THE TOPIC, THE DATE, AND WHO ASKED FOR IT.SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL THAT.
I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE QUESTIONS.
IS THERE A BOARD LEVEL DASHBOARD VIEW OF SCHOOL LINKS? IS THERE A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD VIEW OF SCHOOL LINKS? WHEN WILL WE VOLUNTEER? WHEN WILL THE VOLUNTEER OUR INPUT BE LIVE ON SCHOOL LINKS.
WHEN CAN WE DO A DEMO OF SCHOOL LINKS FOR THE BOARD? IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO SEE IF I AM COLLEGE CAREER READY? LIKE THE FITBIT.
WHO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO SCHOOL LINKS? WHEN WILL YOU MEET WITH SUN FIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND FEEDBACK ON SPACE? AFTER REZONING, HOW MANY BUSSES WILL BE USING THE BUS LANE? DO WE NEED A DOUBLE LANE? WHAT WILL FINAL CAPACITY BE AT RELIEF SCHOOL? PLEASE HAVE JERRY PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
BE AT THE FEEDBACK MEETING TO ADDRESS SAFETY, SECURITY QUESTIONS, ISSUES WITH DESK, ETC.
CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK ON FIFTH GRADE WING COLOR OF WAYFINDING FOR WAYFINDING PURPOSES? WHAT ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAN? WHAT IS COST ASSOCIATED WITH REDOING STAGE IN NEWLY CONVERTED CAFETERIA? WILL WE HAVE ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS FOR STAFF BEYOND FOUR FIXTURES PER FLOOR? WE NEED MORE RESTROOMS. WHAT STAKEHOLDERS HAVE YOU MET WITH? PLEASE SEND VIRTUAL RENDERINGS OF DESIGNS.
CAN WE HAVE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE FOR HR? DO WE HAVE FLEX SPACE TO HOLD TRAINING? AND WHAT IS THE CAPACITY? WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF EACH QUADRANT OF THE BOARD? ROOM FOR TRAINING? LIST OF BREAK ROOMS AND THEIR CAPACITY.
AND THIS IS AND IT TELLS YOU IT'S THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER.
