Sep 26, 2022 Board Meeting

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

[00:00:01]

THANK YOU WITH THE TECHNICAL ISSUES, THOSE THAT ARE JOINING ONLINE THAT ARE LISTENING, TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 26 AND THE TIME IS 6:15 P.M.

[A. CALL TO ORDER: Establish a quorum]

ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE PRESENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PRESIDENT VANESSA PETREA, WHO HAD AN UNFORESEEN WORK CONFLICT.

SO WE'LL MISS MS. VANESSA TONIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AND START WITH OUR PLEDGE LED BY BOARD SECRETARY ESPERANZA OROSCO.

[B. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO UNITED STATES AND TEXAS FLAGS]

I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

[C. MISSION STATEMENT]

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE READ BY BOARD MEMBER WILL MCMANUS.

[D. SOCIAL CONTRACT]

BE PROFESSIONAL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MCMANUS.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DR.

[E. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]

AND TONIGHT, I WANTED TO DETAIL FOR YOU STAAR 2.0 AND THE TIMELINE THAT IS GOING TO ENSUE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RELEASE OF THIS TIMELINE.

THERE IS A ONE PAGER IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER, AND THEN BARBARA IS ALSO PUTTING IT UP ON THE SCREEN.

SO THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR THAT TEA DECIDED TO REORGANIZE AND WE'RE GOING TO A NEW MODEL OF STAAR.

AND SO THEY ARE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THE QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS AND THEY'LL TAKE RAW SCORES FROM THE TEST THAT WE ADMINISTER THIS SPRING AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO CONVERT THEM AND SCALE THEM WITH THE NEW PERFORMANCE LEVELS. AND SO THAT WON'T COME OUT UNTIL PROBABLY AROUND AUGUST.

AND AND SO IN MID-SEPTEMBER WE WILL RECEIVE A THROUGH F RATINGS.

AND SO THE TIMELINE IS GOING TO BE DELAYED SOMEWHAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW REDESIGN THIS YEAR.

SO I WANTED YOU GUYS TO BE UP TO SPEED AND UP TO DATE.

AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING TO CAUSE US TO HAVE TO USE SOME OTHER ASSESSMENT DATA WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT EVALUATIONS, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THIS DATA BEFORE WE BRING DIFFERENT CONTRACTS TO YOU GUYS IN JUNE.

AND SO JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE THIS TIMELINE.

WE WILL BE USING OUR INTERNAL DATA AND AND WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH YOU AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND IF FOR SOME REASON THEY ACCELERATE THIS TIMELINE, WE WILL BRING BRING IT BACK TO YOU SO THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE.

SO WE JUST, THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESS.

SO WE JUST GOT THIS INFORMATION.

KEVIN GAVE IT TO US THE OTHER DAY, SO I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU SO THAT YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT TEA IS THINKING.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THIS IS THE LEGISLATIVE YEAR, AND SO THINGS MAY CHANGE EVEN FURTHER.

SO WE'LL SEE. BUT THIS IS TENTATIVELY WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF IT AS WELL.

THE NEXT ITEM, WE ARE UP TO 22,295 STUDENTS AS OF TODAY.

SEEMS LIKE EACH DAY WE GROW MORE AND MORE.

AND I THINK I MENTIONED TO YOU WE HAD 3500 NEW HOME STARTS THIS YEAR AND, BUT WE'VE ONLY CLOSED ON 2200 AND IT'S WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE, WE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET PLUMBING PARTS AND ELECTRICAL PARTS.

AND SO WE GET ABOUT 0.8 STUDENTS FROM EACH HOME.

AND SO IF WE HAVE 1300 ADDITIONAL HOMES, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET 600 TO 700 MORE KIDS AS THE YEAR CONTINUES TO PROGRESS.

SO I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT.

AND AND I KNOW HR IS EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND EVEN MORE STAFF AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

BUT IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE, AND SO I'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN I THINK MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS GOT TO MEET OUR NEW SAFETY COORDINATORS, BUT I WANTED TO LET THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE, AS WELL AS PEOPLE ONLINE, KNOW THAT OUR TWO SAFETY COORDINATORS STARTED TODAY AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH JERRY SKROCKI AND HER DEPARTMENT.

AND SO WE HAVE JESSE GONZALEZ AND DIANE MARTINEZ THAT YOU WILL SEE ON VARIOUS CAMPUSES IN THE DEPARTMENTS.

[00:05:06]

THEY BOTH HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT BACKGROUNDS AND A CAREER IN PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM JOIN OUR TEAM AND LOOKING FOR GREAT THINGS TO OCCUR IN SUPPORTING OUR CAMPUSES IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S MY REPORT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DR.

WRIGHT. WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

I'LL LOOK OVER HERE TO MY LEFT. ANY QUESTIONS? LOOK OVER TO MY RIGHT.

OKAY. SOME EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS.

DR. WRIGHT, I KNOW WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW THOSE LETTER GRADES, HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT SOME OF OUR TIMELINES, BUT WE CONTINUE TO GROW.

SO. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AHEAD MOVE ON TO PUBLIC FORUM.

[F. PUBLIC FORUM]

TEAM WE'RE GOING TO MOVE AN ITEM UP.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND JUMP TO INFORMATION ITEM K1.

[K.1. Hays CISD Energy Star Recognition]

AND WE'LL BRING MR. CLEAVER ON UP.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT VELA AND BOARD AND DR.

WRIGHT.

TONIGHT ON PAGE 87, IN YOUR BOARD BOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR ENERGY STAR RECOGNITION.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO TO THE PEOPLE FROM CENERGISTIC TO GO THROUGH A QUICK REPORT.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, AND THEN I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THE TEAM WHO ACTUALLY IS IN CHARGE OF IT HERE AT HAYS CISD.

AND IT'S ON PAGE 97.

I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.

MY OLD BOOK, I APOLOGIZE.

AND THEN WE HAVE A REPORT ON THE DAIS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT'S ON, IN THE NEW BOOK, SIR, WHAT PAGE? 97. 97.

AND THEN THE REPORT IS IN OUR DAIS FOLDER.

SO MANY TIMES WE COME TO THE BOARD, AND WE WERE ALWAYS SPENDING AND SPENDING AND SPENDING.

AND SO THIS ITEM IS ACTUALLY ABOUT SAVING.

WAYNE, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE WAYNE HERE IN A SECOND, AND HE'S GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

BUT IF YOU DON'T TAKE ANYTHING ELSE AWAY TONIGHT, WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW IS THAT IN THE PERIOD SINCE WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CENERGISTIC, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 2019, WE ADDED ABOUT 500,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT WE ACTUALLY KEPT OUR UTILITY SPIN THE SAME.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ALL KINDS OF, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A TERMINOLOGY LIKE COST AVOIDANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE REAL NUMBER IS WE GREW OVER 500,000 SQUARE FEET AND WE KEPT OUR UTILITY SPIN THE SAME.

AND I'M GOING TO SAY THAT A DIFFERENT WAY.

SO IN THAT SAME TIME PERIOD, WE STARTED AT ABOUT A $1.09 PER SQUARE FOOT WITH ALL OUR UTILITIES.

AND IN THAT SAME PERIOD NOW WE'RE DOWN AT ABOUT $0.85 A SQUARE FOOT.

SO WE ARE GETTING MORE EFFICIENT.

WE WERE PRETTY EFFICIENT TO START WITH, BUT I THINK YOU'LL PROBABLY HEAR FROM WAYNE THAT WE'RE ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT AROUND.

SO AT THIS POINT, I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO WAYNE CAULDRON FROM CENERGISTIC AND BARBARA, IF YOU WOULD QUEUE UP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WAYNE CAULDRON WILL INTRODUCE WILLIAM.

WILL YOU COME ON UP HERE TO.

WILLIAM. WELL, I'LL LET YOU INTRODUCE WILLIAM.

SO, DR. WRIGHT, PRESIDENT, VELA AND BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I AM WAYNE CAULDRON WITH CENERGISTIC.

THIS IS WILLIAM, YOU'RE EMBEDDED ENERGY SPECIALIST.

WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM, YOU GUYS VOTED FOR THIS.

AND OUR JOB IS TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND SO, WILLIAM, WHAT HE DOES IS HE'S OUT THERE IN THE BUILDINGS.

CAN YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THEM? WILLIAM SPENDS A LOT OF TIME OUT IN THE BUILDINGS LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY FOR WASTE TO CUT THAT OUT.

AND WE'D BE MISSING OUT IF WE DIDN'T BRING UP THAT YOUR FACILITIES TEAM UNDER ALBERT FLORES.

YOU KNOW, WE COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR TEAMS BACK HERE.

SO MAJOR CREDIT TO THEM.

WE GO OUT THERE AND WE FIND THE OPPORTUNITY, BRING IT BACK TO THEM.

THEY MAKE THE REPAIRS, THE CHANGES, OBVIOUSLY SOME CHANGES AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL WITH TEACHERS, ALSO PRINCIPALS, JUST BEHAVIORAL TYPE STUFF.

BUT THUS FAR, SINCE SEPTEMBER 19, WE'VE PUT 144 MILLION BASICALLY BACK IN YOUR COFFERS.

THAT'S RIGHT AT 15% SAVINGS TO DATE.

NEXT SLIDE. I DON'T HAVE A CLICKER.

NEXT SLIDE. WE HAVE HERE, BASE YEAR.

THAT'S A PERFORMANCE PRIOR TO OUR PARTNERSHIP.

THEN YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE YEAR ONE, PERFORMANCE YEAR TWO, PERFORMANCE YEAR THREE THROUGH MONTH EIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE STAND.

SO THE RED LINE THERE IS IS WHERE YOUR USAGE, SO ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS USAGE WHERE PRIOR TO US AND THEN THE OTHER DATA POINTS.

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING TO POINT OUT HERE IS THAT THE ENERGY NOT USED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM FOR ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS WOULD BE ENOUGH TO RUN ALL YOUR ELEMENTARY

[00:10:07]

NEXT SLIDE. LIKE MAX TALKED ABOUT EARLIER BEFORE BEFORE WE GOT HERE, YOUR COST PER SQUARE FOOT WAS A $1.09.

NOW YOU'RE HOVERING UNDER $0.90.

THERE WAS A TIME THERE DURING COVID WHERE IT WAS DOWN AROUND 76 WHERE THE BUILDINGS WERE WAY SHUT DOWN.

WE'VE SEEN A LITTLE CREEP, BUT WE'RE PROUD TO SAY THAT THAT'S ALMOST A 20% DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COST PER SQUARE FOOT.

NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN, THIS IS WILLIAM WHO'S DONE 1101 AUDITS OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE AUDITS.

YOU HAVE A SECTION THERE THAT SAYS HOLIDAY SETBACK AND UNOCCUPIED SETBACK WOULD BE THANKSGIVING BREAK, WINTER BREAK, SPRING BREAK, ANY OF THOSE BREAKS WHERE WE REALLY GO AFTER THE OPPORTUNITY AND THEN NIGHTS, WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, ALL THAT.

OBVIOUSLY OCCUPIED TIMES, THAT'S ANY TIME ANYBODY'S IN THE BUILDING.

SO WILLIAM IS GOING TO USE THAT TO MEET WITH CUSTODIANS, PRINCIPALS TO WORK THE BEHAVIORAL SIDE OF THE PROGRAM.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

HERE YOU HAVE A EUI.

THAT IS A TERM IN THE INDUSTRY.

BASICALLY WHAT IT IS, YOU TAKE YOUR ELECTRICITY USAGE AND YOUR NATURAL GAS USAGE.

THOSE ARE IN TWO DIFFERENT UNITS OF MEASURE AND SO THEY'RE BLENDED TOGETHER AS A KBTU NUMBER DIVIDED BY YOUR SQUARE FOOT, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE.

SO WHEN WE STARTED HERE, YOU GUYS WERE AT ABOUT A 40 EUI AND CURRENTLY AT A 27.

AND RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW CLIENTS IN TEXAS.

AND BASED OFF OF THAT, THAT IS OUR AVERAGE PROGRAM IS 40 EUI WITH PROGRAMS THAT ARE NEW OR SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS IN AND YOU GUYS ARE AT A 27.3, REALLY SETTING.

THAT'S THE BEST IN TEXAS FOR CLIENTS THAT WE'RE TIED TO, BEST IN TEXAS.

AND I'M KIND OF MOVING ON PRETTY QUICK.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY ABOUT ANY OF THAT? ARE WE GOING TO WAIT TILL THE END? ANY QUESTIONS HERE.

OKAY, WE'LL KEEP GOING. NEXT SLIDE.

SQUARE FEET VERSUS ANNUAL UTILITY SPEND.

MAX TRIED TO STEAL SOME OF MY THUNDER HERE A LITTLE BIT.

BASE YEAR, 3.2 MILLION SQUARE FEET AND YOUR SPIN WAS 3.3 AND YOU GUYS ADDED BUDA ELEMENTARY TRANSPORTATION AND JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH PUTS YOU AT ALMOST 3.9 MILLION SQUARE FEET AND YOUR SPEND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WENT UP BY ABOUT $100,000.

WE'VE KEPT IT AT BAY FOR PERFORMANCE YEAR ONE AND TWO.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CREEP OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS WITH A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON.

YOU GUYS ARE WELL AWARE OF THAT.

NEXT SLIDE. HERE'S SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

SO THE ENERGY NOT USED WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF 134,000 TREE SEEDLINGS GROWN FOR TEN YEARS.

EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND A CELL PHONE CHARGE.

992. I GUESS THAT'S A MILLION CELL PHONES CHARGE.

THAT'S AGAIN, THE ENERGY NOT USED IS EQUIVALENT TO THAT METRIC TONS OF CO2.

NEXT SLIDE. ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ABOUT THE ENERGY PROGRAM.

WHEN WE PARTNER UP WITH CLIENTS AS WE MOVE INTO, AND ESPECIALLY THE CLIENTS THAT DO REALLY WELL, WE WANT TO CELEBRATE THAT.

AND SO WE BRING, WILLIAM DOES A LOT OF AUDITS OUT THERE IN THE BUILDING, GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION AND IT REQUIRES A LOT OF INFORMATION.

WE SEND THAT OVER TO AN ENERGY ENGINEER.

THEY DO SOME STUDIES ON IT AND THEY SEND IT OVER TO THE EPA.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY LOOKS AT BUILDINGS OF THEIR PEERS.

SO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS COMPARED ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO MIDDLE SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL.

WE DON'T DO ADMIN BUILDINGS OR MULTIPURPOSE BUILDINGS.

THEY FALL IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

BUT I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT 20 BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED ENERGY STAR BUILDINGS FOR 2022.

I THINK THAT'S [APPLAUSE].

THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING THAT.

IT'S A BIG DEAL.

AND THEY CHANGED SOME OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND MADE IT A LOT MORE STRINGENT.

SO 20 OF YOUR 23 BUILDINGS MADE IT IN THE TOP 25 PERCENTILE OF BUILDINGS OF YOUR PEERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

SO I WON'T SPEAK TOO QUICKLY.

THERE'S THREE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT, UHLAND, SPECIFICALLY.

I WISH THEY ALL MADE IT, BUT IT GIVES US SOMETHING TO WORK FOR NEXT YEAR WHEN WE GO BACK TO THIS.

UHLAND HAS PROPANE AND YOU ONLY GET A BILL FOR THAT PERIODICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED AND THE EPA DOESN'T REGISTER THAT.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A BILL EVERY MONTH.

SO WE HAVE A WAY TO SOLVE THAT WITH THEM.

BUDA IS NOT ON THE LIST BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONFUSION ON THE EPA SIDE BECAUSE OF THIS BUILDING BEING VACANT.

SO THEY THOUGHT BUDA WAS VACANT.

SO PUT THAT OFF TO THE SIDE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S TWO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS.

[00:15:01]

AND THEN TOM GREEN .I'M GLAD TOM GREEN WAS RECOGNIZED ON THE OTHER JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, BUT TOM GREEN ACTUALLY SCORED A 72, SO THREE POINTS SHY OF MAKING IT IN THAT TOP 25 PERCENTILE.

AGAIN, SOME OPPORTUNITY TO GO AFTER FOR NEXT TIME, BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.

AGAIN, WE CAN COME IN AND TRY TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO, BUT WITHOUT ALBERT AND HIS AND HIS TEAM BACK HERE AND MAX ALLOWING US TO COME IN HERE AND DO WHAT WE DO, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S IT.

AGAIN, WE CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESS AND I APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP.

WILL HAS A EXAMPLE HERE OF THE ENERGY STAR AWARD.

WE HAVE ONE FOR EVERY BUILDING, AND IT WILL ALSO BE A DECAL THAT WE CAN DISCUSS FURTHER, BUT A DECAL TO PUT ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING THERE BY THE ENTRANCE.

ENERGY STAR 2022.

AND WE WANT TO CELEBRATE THIS WITH THE PRINCIPALS AS WELL IN A PRINCIPAL MEETING BUT WE WANTED TO START HERE.

ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD. THAT'S SOME GREAT INFORMATION.

SO TEAM WILL ENTERTAIN SOME QUESTIONS.

I'LL LOOK OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT FIRST.

IS THAT MS. ESPERANZA? MAX, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHEN THIS FIRST CAME TO US, I KNOW IT WAS TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HIRE SOMEBODY SPECIFIC TO BE IN CHARGE OF THIS.

DID THEY HIRE SOMEBODY THAT WE WERE GETTING REIMBURSED FOR? RIGHT. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WILLIAM PLUNKETT RIGHT HERE TO MY LEFT.

AND HE'S THE ONE THAT'S DONE, WHAT, 13, ALMOST 1400 AUDITS SINCE WE'VE STARTED.

AND MOST OF THEM, EXCEPT ABOUT HALF OF THEM DURING THAT UNOCCUPIED AND SET BACK TIME PERIODS.

SO HE'S NOT OUR EMPLOYEE.

HE'S THEIR EMPLOYEE? THAT'S CORRECT. BUT DEDICATED TO US 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, FANTASTIC. I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE, I'M ALL ABOUT ENERGY SAVINGS AND SO ON, BUT I KNOW WE'VE HAD CONCERNS FROM TEACHERS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN REGARDS TO OUR AIR CONDITIONERS BEING RESET AND NOT STARTING IN AN EARLY ENOUGH TIME TO COOL OFF THE CLASSROOMS. CAN YOU TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT TIME CHANGE IS FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL? IT VARIES BY CAMPUS AND WE, IN ORDER TO BE EFFICIENT, WE DO TRY TO SCALE BACK AS FAR AS WE CAN AND WE MONITOR THAT ALL THE TIME. AND AS WEATHER CONDITIONS CHANGE, WE CHANGE THOSE SETBACK TIME POINTS.

I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS IF PEOPLE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE GET ALL THESE AWARDS BECAUSE BECAUSE IF PEOPLE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE, THAT'S NOT A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE. AND SO AS WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THAT KIND OF SITUATION, WE FIX IT AND WE DON'T, WE'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THAT. IT'S WE MONITOR THOSE TIMES.

AND I WILL GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT THAT QUESTION SO I CAN GET SPECIFIC TIMES OF WHEN ALL THE ELEMENTARIES, ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS ACS KICK IN AND WHEN SCHOOL STARTS. ABSOLUTELY.

YES. BECAUSE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

YOU KNOW, IF THE ROOM IS NOT COOLED OFF AND WE LIVE IN TEXAS, 108 DEGREE WEATHER, IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO COOL OFF.

AND I DO, BEING A TEACHER MYSELF, I KNOW ABOUT GOING INTO A CLASSROOM WHERE IT WAS NOT COMFORTABLE FOR THE KIDS COMING IN OR FOR ME TO PREPARE FOR THE KIDS COMING IN.

AND I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HEARING THAT A LOT HERE LATELY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER CHANGE THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.

SO I WANT TO BE VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT BECAUSE OF COURSE WE WANT TO SAVE ENERGY AND SUCH, BUT NOT AT THE PERIL OF OUR EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A READING MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THAN HOW IT ACTUALLY FEELS.

AND SO THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.

SO I DEFINITELY.

YES, MA'AM. SO ALBERT BROUGHT THIS UP.

SO ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES RIGHT NOW ARE FROM 6:40 A.M.

TO 2:45 P.M.

THAT'S THE RUNTIME.

MIDDLE SCHOOL IS 7:10 TO 3:25 AND HIGH SCHOOL 7:35 TO 4.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, TEACHERS ARE ON DUTY UNTIL WHAT IS IT, MARIVEL, LIKE 3:30 OR 3:15? I DON'T KNOW THE DUTY TIMES.

SO IF WE HAVE DUTY TIMES THAT LASTS LONGER, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COOL THE ROOMS UNTIL DUTY TIME IS DONE WITH.

THAT JUST SEEMS VERY REASONABLE.

YES, MA'AM. AND I MEAN, OF COURSE THEY CAN OVERRIDE IT IF THEY'RE WORKING LATE, BUT AT LEAST HAVING IT DURING DUTY TIME AND THEN IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, I GATHER 6:40, I KNOW KIDS CAN COME IN DEPENDING ON THE SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMES OF WHEN THEY LET CHILDREN INTO THE CLASSROOM.

USUALLY THAT'S ANYWHERE BETWEEN 7:10 AND 7:35, DEPENDING ON THE CAMPUS.

[00:20:04]

SO I JUST WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT AND MAKING SURE I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE ARE NOW GOING INTO THE FALL SEASON AND IT'S GOING TO START COOLING OFF.

IN THE MORNING IT FEELS GREAT.

BUT IF THE CLASSROOM IS STUFFY AND FEELS LIKE 85 OR 90 DEGREES, THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES OR A GOOD LEARNING ENVIRONMENT EITHER.

YES, MA'AM. SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT THAT QUESTION SO I CAN GET ALL THOSE DETAILS ABOUT DUTY TIMES, INCLUDING WHEN CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED INTO THE CLASSROOM AND HOW LONG IT ACTUALLY TAKES TO COOL OFF THAT CLASSROOM FOR OUR KIDDOS AND FOR OUR STAFF BECAUSE THEY NEED TO WORK AND PREPARE AND GET READY TO WELCOME OUR CHILDREN INTO THAT CLASSROOM.

SO DEFINITELY SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

BUT I LOVE THE SAVINGS THAT WE HAVE MANAGED, OR THE AVOIDANCE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GATHER BY THIS PROGRAM.

WE WEREN'T SURE REALLY HOW THIS PROGRAM WAS GOING TO WORK WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION BACK IN 2019.

I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE IS AN AVOIDANCE COST AND I'LL HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS THAT I'LL SUBMIT IN REGARDS TO ANY OTHER COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS LIKE WE WERE PAYING OUT OF THAT AVOIDANCE CAUSE WE'RE PAYING CENERGISTIC, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO JUST WHAT THAT PERCENTAGE IS AND WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE IN REGARDS TO DOLLARS? YES, MA'AM. SO I'LL SUBMIT THAT.

BUT THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND FINDING SOME WAYS FOR US TO CUT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS HUGE.

I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE HAD TO TAKE ALL OUR REFRIGERATORS OUT OF OUR CLASSROOMS, WHICH WAS HORRENDOUS, YOU KNOW, AND GETTING RID OF MICROWAVES HERE AND LIGHTS AND LAMPS AND EVERYTHING.

AND A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT IS SO IMPORTANT TO SET THE ATMOSPHERE FOR OUR KIDS.

SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE NOT TOTALLY GOING OVERBOARD.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MS. OROSCO. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OVER TO MY RIGHT? ANYTHING OVER TO THE LEFT? I GOT A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS.

SO FIRST OF ALL, DURING THE PRESENTATION, I HEARD THREE WORDS: BEST IN TEXAS.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND THROW THAT OUT THERE FOR ENERGY USE INTENSITY.

ON THE ENERGY STAR BUILDING CERTIFICATIONS, HOW LONG ARE THOSE CERTIFICATIONS AGAIN? IT CARRIES FOR A YEAR. OKAY.

YEAH. IT'LL BE UP FOR OPPORTUNITY TO DO THOSE AUDITS AND SEND IT TO THE ENGINEERS AGAIN IN A YEAR.

OKAY. AND THEN IF WE ADD 500,000 MORE SQUARE FEET, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE COST THE SAME ? ALL RIGHT, GOOD DEAL. OKAY.

WELL, YEAH, DEFINITELY SOME EXCITING STUFF.

AND, YOU KNOW, GLAD TO SEE THE PAYOFF AND THE SAVINGS TO OUR DISTRICT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH, THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS.

ABSOLUTELY. MR. VELA, WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE ALBERT AND HAVE HIM INTRODUCE HIS TEAM? YEAH. PLEASE, LET'S. LET'S DO THAT.

I KNOW ALBERT AND HIS TEAM GET SOME.

HE'S THE DIRECTOR OF MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING, OR MEP, AND I INTRODUCE YOU TO HIM.

I WANT TO SAY SOME WORDS FIRST.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COME ON, GUYS.

I JUST WANT TO SHARE THE IXLLENT SERVICE THAT OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM PROVIDES FOR OUR DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAINTAIN ALL THE HVAC IN OUR DISTRICT, WHICH IS OVER 3500 SYSTEMS, AND TO IMPROVE ALL THE EFFICIENCY. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO PROVIDE THE CLEAN AND EFFICIENT AIR TO OUR SCHOOLS.

I WANT TO THANK OUR MEP TEAM AND FOR KEEPING OUR DISTRICT IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT WE PUT IN AND KEEP OUR DISTRICTS EFFICIENT.

THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR MAINTENANCE [APPLAUSE].

I WANT TO INTRODUCE JEREMY HANSON, OUR DDC.

HECTOR SANDOVAL.

JESUS BUENO. SANTOS JACO.

AND IVAN VIERA.

OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT TEAM.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO GET A REAL QUICK PICTURE.

[00:25:36]

SO, YES, WE DO.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE. SO MOVING ON IN OUR AGENDA, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME CAMPUS RECOGNITION.

[G. CAMPUS RECOGNITION]

[APPLAUSE] TONIGHT, WE'RE RECOGNIZING TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY.

SO DR. WATSON IS COMING UP TO [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT.

DR. WATSON, YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE OUR VISITORS, PLEASE, SIR.

GOOD EVENING, VICE PRESIDENT VELA, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

WRIGHT. IT IS MY PROUD, PROUD PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THE TOM GREEN PRINCIPAL, MS. JENNIFER HANNA.

SHE'S GOING TO COME UP HERE AND TELL YOU ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT'S GOING ON AT TOM GREEN AND THE LITTLE HIDDEN GEM IN OUR DISTRICT.

[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD EVENING.

BOARD. VICE PRESIDENT VELA, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.

WRIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE, AS DR.

WATSON SAID, OUR LITTLE HIDDEN GEM.

AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR HIGHLIGHTS.

NEXT SLIDE. ALL RIGHT.

SO OUR VISION IS THAT TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY ENVISIONS AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF DIVERSE LEARNERS WHO COLLECTIVELY ASPIRE TOWARDS ACADEMIC IXLLENCE AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF ALL STUDENTS.

AND THE MISSION OF TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY, A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS THAT VALUES RELATIONSHIPS AND THE WHOLE PERSON, IS TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE IXLLENCE, PURSUE PERSONAL ASPIRATIONS, AND ENGAGE IN INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH SCHOOL, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.

SO AS I SAID, WE ARE A NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL THAT I LIKE TO THINK OF AS A HIDDEN GEM TUCKED AWAY JUST EAST OF I-35 IN BUDA.

CURRENTLY THIS YEAR WE SERVE 556 STUDENTS, DOWN FROM 870 IN 21-22.

SO IT'S QUITE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE HALLWAYS.

WE ARE A PRE K TO FIVE TRILINGUAL CAMPUS.

WE HAVE AN EARLY EXIT BILINGUAL PROGRAM AS WELL AS A DEAF EDUCATION PROGRAM, RDSPD.

ALSO, TOM GREEN IS A TITLE ONE CAMPUS.

WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

WE SERVE IN GENERAL EDUCATION, GIFTED AND TALENTED, SPECIAL EDUCATION, 504, DYSLEXIA, BILINGUAL EDUCATION AND DEAF EDUCATION.

SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS INCLUDE FOUNDATIONAL LEARNING STRUCTURED, DEAF EDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD, SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RESOURCE INCLUSION.

[00:30:06]

WE ARE AS A CAMPUS, WE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY THESE LAST SIX WEEKS FOCUSING ON AN EMERGENT TREE LEADER IN ME, OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, AND BUILDING UP OUR COMMUNITY AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT THAT WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO BRING OUR FAMILIES BACK INTO THE SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY, WE PUT TOGETHER A MOVIE FOR YOU TO SHOWCASE OUR INITIATIVES.

[VIDEO] HI, THERE.

I'M REBECCA JOHNSON. I'M THE BILINGUAL INTERVENTIONIST HERE AT TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY.

THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR IMPLEMENTING EMERGENCY.

EVEN THOUGH IN PRIOR YEARS, WE WOULD GREET OUR STUDENTS AT THE DOOR BEFORE WALKING INTO THE CLASSROOM.

THIS YEAR, AS AN INTERVENTIONIST, AS I PICK UP THE STUDENTS FROM OTHER CLASSROOMS AND AS WE'RE WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY, I DO ASK HOW THEIR DAY IS GOING.

BUT ONCE THEY REACH OUR CLASSROOM DOOR, I HAVE THEM LOOK AT MY LITTLE BRAIN, THE RANGE OF FEELINGS AND HOW THEY'RE FEELING.

ARE THEY FEELING EXCITED OR IS THEIR BATTERY RUNNING LOW? AND WHAT I ASK THEM WHY.

WE HAVE A SMALL COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS IN MY GROUP, MAYBE TWO OR THREE STUDENTS.

SO WE ALL DO LISTEN AT THE SAME TIME.

AND THIS GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND TO CHECK UP ON EACH OTHER.

HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY FEELING.

AFTER WE CHECK ON OUR FEELINGS? I HAVE THE CHILDREN PICK ON HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE GREETED BEFORE WE WALK INTO THE CLASSROOM.

THEY HAVE A CHOICE OF A WINK, A HANDSHAKE, A HIGH FIVE, A FIST PUMP, DANCING, A SMILE, OR JUST A PLAIN OLD WAVE.

THEY USUALLY LOVE TO SEE ME DANCE OR GET A BIG BEAR HUG FROM ME.

USING THIS EMERGENCY CHECK IN HAS REALLY BEEN A GAME CHANGER AND YOU CAN SEE HAPPIER STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BLACKBOARDS.

WE HAVE THREE CLASSES IN FOURTH GRADE AND WE USE ORANGE, PURPLE AND GREEN STICKY NOTES TO PUT ON THE STICKY NOTES UP WHEN WE ARE ON TASK.

COPYING GOOD, HELPING OTHERS OR BEING STUDENT LEADERS.

WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR CLASSMATES TO BE AWESOME, EARN REWARDS AND BEAT THE OTHER CLASSES .

WE GET TO PICK A REWARD FOR WHEN WE FILL UP ON OUR BOARD AND CASH IN OUR POINTS TO DO SOMETHING FUN.

WE LOVE IT. HI, I'M MONICA COTTRILL, THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR AT TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I AM SO EXCITED TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU OUR WONDERFUL NEW AND RENEWED LEADERSHIP ROLES THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE TAKING THE LEAD ON AND PARTICIPATING IN WITH OUR NEW SEL CURRICULUM LEADER IN ME. TAKE A LOOK.

GOOD MORNING FROM THE HORNETS NEST I THINK [INAUDIBLE] BEING COOPERATIVE, RESPECTFUL, BEING PROACTIVE AND BEING, HELPING OTHERS WHEN THEY NEED HELP.

[00:35:06]

ME BEING PROACTIVE IS HELPING OTHERS AND TREATING OTHERS [INAUDIBLE] AND TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ISSUES AND TRYING TO HELP THEM.

SO THEY ARE FEELING GOOD AND THEY WILL BE FINE.

BEING PROACTIVE, FOR ME, IT MEANS TAKING THE INITIATIVE AND NOT REACTING TO THINGS AGGRESSIVELY.

MEANS BEING RESPECTFUL, TREATING OTHERS LIKE THEY WANT TO BE TREATED AND BEING NICE TO EACH OTHER.

[INAUDIBLE] I HELP MY STUDENTS BE PROACTIVE BY DOING WORK, DOING HOMEWORK, AND STAYING CALM IN THE CLASSROOM.

HI. I LOVE THAT PLC OFFERS MY COLLEAGUES AND I AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW STUDENT DATA AND ASSESSMENT RESULTS IN AN ENGAGING AND COLLABORATIVE SPACE.

WE GET A SPECIAL TIME SET ASIDE EACH WEEK TO DIVE INTO HOW OUR KIDS ARE LEARNING AND GROWING AND DETERMINE THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD.

IT GIVES US THE MOTIVATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY WE NEED TO REALLY KNOW OUR KIDS PROGRESS.

WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER, HAVE FUN WORKING HARD AND ULTIMATELY LEARN, GROW AND THRIVE IN PLC.

WE ARE HERE TO WORK HARD AND DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND WE LOVE THAT WE HAVE PLC TO HELP US MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

[MUSIC] HERE AT TOM GREEN, WE VALUE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR AMAZING FAMILIES.

WE KNOW THIS IS A VITAL PART OF DEVELOPING THE WHOLE CHILD, FOSTERING THE HOME SCHOOL CONNECTION, AND ULTIMATELY INCREASING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

[00:40:08]

IF YOU ALL WILL STAND UP, PLEASE.

I HAVE MS. APONTE-COLON.

SHE IS FIFTH GRADE BILINGUAL.

CELIA OOSTERHUIS, FOURTH GRADE.

CLAUDIA VASQUEZ ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL.

MONICA COTTRILL, COUNSELOR.

MIMI RIVERS, SPECIAL EDUCATION.

AND REBECA JOHNSON, BILINGUAL INTERVENTIONIST.

[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

WE NEED ANOTHER PICTURE. IS THAT WHAT WE SAID?YEAH, WE NEED ANOTHER PICTURE.

AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO SOME QUESTIONS.

HOW ABOUT THAT. IT'S PICTURE NIGHT TONIGHT HERE AT THE BOARD MEETING.

ALL RIGHT, TIM, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL START OFF HERE TO MY LEFT. YES, MS. RUNKEL. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND TOM GREEN AND JUST SAY YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING AND YOU GUYS DO SUCH AMAZING WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY AND THAT WE JUST RECENTLY DID THE HORNET RACES AND THAT WAS AMAZING.

WE CAME IN LAST, I THINK, BUT I THINK YOU SAID WE BEAT OUR RECORD.

NO, I THINK YOU SAID WE BEAT OUR RECORD.

SO I THINK WE WERE DOING PRETTY GOOD.

BUT NO [LAUGHTER] I LOOK FORWARD TO SO MANY THINGS AT TOM GREEN THIS YEAR.

I KNOW I LOOK FORWARD TO THE SPELLING BEE, THE SCIENCE FAIR, ALL THINGS TOM GREEN.

IN THE PICTURES, I SAW Y'ALL'S NEW TABLES IN THE CAFETERIA.

IT'S SO AMAZING TO SEE FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO SIT AT THOSE TABLES TOGETHER.

I KNOW THAT THAT WAS SUCH A HUGE THING IN THE PAST FOR TOM GREEN, AND TO SEE ALL OF THAT WAS PRETTY AMAZING.

SO KEEP DOING WHAT Y'ALL ARE DOING.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.

THANK YOU, MS. RUNKLE. DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU.

WHAT AN AMAZING JOB YOU ALL ARE DOING.

Y'ALL HAD ME AT LEADER IN ME [LAUGHTER] AND AMAZING WHAT YOU DO FOR THOSE STUDENTS.

I MEAN, THE CONFIDENCE BUILDER.

I MEAN, THEY'RE SO ARTICULATE.

JUST CONTINUE DOING GREAT THINGS FOR THEM.

I ALSO LOVED ALL OF THE SMILES DURING PLC.

OH MY GOODNESS.

EVERYONE WAS SMILING.

AND THEN IT CONTINUES ON TO YOUR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.

SO KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU.

CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOUR CAMPUS, FOR YOUR STUDENTS.

AND THANK FOR ALL THE HARD WORK.

GOOD JOB, BECAUSE I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT.

SO THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. OROSCO.

I LOVE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THAT IS SO GREAT THAT YOU HAVE IT SIGNING.

YOU HAVE IT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.

LOVE IT. AND SO THAT'S BROADCASTED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL EVERY DAY? YES, THE STUDENTS RECORD IT WITH OUR LIBRARIAN, HANNAH DEVER, AND SHE SENDS OUT A RECORDING EVERY MORNING FOR THE STUDENTS TO VIEW

[00:45:07]

WONDERFUL. THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT THEME EVERY DAY.

SO I JUST SHOWED YOU A CLIP OF IT.

BUT YES, YES.

WELL, I LOVE IT. IT'S SO GREAT.

AND ALSO, THANK YOU TO COUNSELOR COTTRELL.

I KNOW YOU ALL DO AN AMAZING JOB AT DOING A FOOD DRIVE FOR OUR HAYS HOPE TO GO PROGRAM.

AND IT'S AMAZING. EVERY YEAR YOU ALL BRING IN SO MUCH FOOD TO HELP US AND TO HELP YOU SERVE MORE STUDENTS AT YOUR CAMPUS.

SO WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. SEVERANCE? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

BRAVO. A COUPLE OF THINGS.

LIKE I LOVE THAT THE LITTLE, I CALL THEM LITTLES, RIGHT.

THE LITTLES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY BEFORE THEY GET IN A CLASSROOM TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN EYE PERSPECTIVE OF HOW THEY'RE DOING.

I MEAN, WE'RE AS ADULTS, WE CAN COMMUNICATE PRETTY GOOD BUY THE LITTLES DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THAT.

SO I LOVE THAT Y'ALL DO THAT.

SO Y'ALL CAN LIKE MAYBE SEE A KID YOU LIKE TO HUG OR WHATEVER THEY NEED TO GET THEM GOING.

THE SECOND THING IS, LET US KNOW, I'M A BIG, I LOVE TO DO CAMPUS VISITS.

IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON AND YOU WANT US TO BE THERE, IF YOU'LL LET US KNOW.

I WOULD LOVE TO COME TAKE A PART OF IT.

THROW A PIE IN MY FACE.

I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER THE KIDS WANT TO DO [LAUGHTER].

BUT JUST SOME INCENTIVE OR WHATEVER, THAT'S FINE.

I'M ALL FOR IT.

BUT JUST CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB. AND I KNOW YOU'RE LOVING THE 507 ENROLLMENT VERSUS 800, SO ENJOY THAT.

GOOD JOB, LADIES.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

PRINCIPAL HANNAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEAM. IT LOOKS LIKE Y'ALL HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AND WHAT IS IT CALLED, THE HIDDEN GEM.

IS THAT WHAT I HEARD? SO, AWESOME.

SO YEAH, WE'RE EXCITED.

WE REALLY ENJOY GETTING TO FEATURE OUR SCHOOLS AND YOU ALL CAME OUT AND KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

AWESOME.

THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE TOM GREEN.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR.

WATSON. [APPLAUSE] I TOLD YOU, IT'S ALL CELEBRATIONS TONIGHT.

YOU'RE MISSING OUT, PRESIDENT PETREA.

JUST KIDDING. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO OUR, EXCUSE ME.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT.

[H. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT]

ALL RIGHT, MARIVEL, WE'RE ALL YOURS.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, VICE PRESIDENT VELA, DR.

WRIGHT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

AND SO I'M HOPING NOW YOU DO HAVE THE DATA TABLES.

FANTASTIC. SO I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THESE AND I HAVE A FEW AREAS THAT I WANT TO JUST GIVE A QUICK HIGHLIGHT AND TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO RESPOND.

SO IF WE CAN GO AHEAD, WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON MIDDLE SCHOOL, MATH, ENGLISH ONE AND TWO, AND THEN HOUSE BILL THREE REQUIRED BOARD GOALS.

NEXT SLIDE.

SO I KNOW THAT NONE OF US EVER WANT TO SEE THAT WE ARE NOT MEETING OUR TARGETS.

AND SO I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE IS WHAT ARE WE DOING TO RESPOND TO THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE NOT MEETING OUR TARGETS? AND SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED A VERTICAL MATH COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT VERTICAL ARTICULATION, PARTICULARLY IN THE GRADES FOUR THROUGH SEVEN.

WE'VE ADOPTED A K THROUGH EIGHT UNIVERSAL MATH SCREENER THAT THAT YOU GUYS PURCHASED FOR US TO USE TO MEASURE GROWTH MORE FREQUENTLY.

AND THAT IS CALLED NWEA MAP, WHICH IS AN AMAZING SCREENER.

WE'VE ALLOWED OUR CAMPUSES SOME AUTONOMY TO CUSTOMIZE AND SELECT THEIR ONLINE MATH SUPPORT PROGRAMS. SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES WE'RE USING DREAMBOX, SOME NOW ARE PURCHASING IXL AND GET MORE MATH.

WE'VE ALSO GOT AN UPCOMING OCTOBER 7TH PD WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY CONTENT SPECIFIC PD, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE TEACHING MATH.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE MATH PD IN THAT AREA.

OUR EXPECTATION THAT BOTH AT THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY LEVEL IS THAT WE HAVE A DAILY PROBLEM SOLVING.

AT ALL ELEMENTARIES WE ARE USING DREAMBOX TO HELP WITH THOSE UNMASTERED SKILLS.

WE'RE PRESSING ON THE IMPORTANCE OF USING ALIGNED AND RIGOROUS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND RESOURCES.

WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE RESOURCES THAT WE'VE USED THAT ARE AT THE LEVEL THAT CAN HELP SUPPORT THE LEVEL OF RIGOR OF OUR CONTENT STANDARDS. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO GENEROUS.

WE'VE ADDED OUR ESSER POSITIONS TO SUPPORT READING AND MATH, AND SO WE HAVE INTERVENTION TEACHERS AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL, BUT ALSO AT CENTRAL OFFICE.

OUR CNI STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEND PLC'S MOTTO COACH AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO OUR TEACHERS.

YOU KNOW THAT WE ALSO HAVE AN ADVANCED MATH INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE USING REALLY KIND OF MORE OF AN OPT OUT MODEL.

WE HAVE A FACT FLUENCY PROGRAM CALLED FACTASTIC AND IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WAYS AND THINKING

[00:50:01]

SO THEY THEY SKIPPED THAT SEVENTH GRADE STAAR.

SO IN THE FUTURE, WE DO PLAN, WE KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT TO DO MORE WORK AROUND PD IN THE AREA OF MATH FOR OUR THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE TEACHERS TO INCREASE THEIR MATH CONTENT KNOWLEDGE. IN THE AREA OF ENGLISH ONE AND TWO, WE KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO THERE.

WE OBVIOUSLY ARE SUPPORTING FROM CNI, SUPPORTING OUR CAMPUSES.

I KNOW THERE'S A HUGE FOCUS ON WRITING, BUT ALSO WE'VE GOT THE INSTRUCTIONAL COACH AT THE HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORTING, ATTENDING PLCS.

THEY'RE COLLABORATING, THEY ARE CREATING COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS AND THEY'RE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE CURRICULUM WITH FIDELITY.

ALSO WITH OUR INSTRUCTIONAL ROUNDS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GIVING IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK SO THAT OUR TEACHERS KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THAT FEEDBACK.

AND THEN REALLY FOLLOWING UP OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PLAYBOOKS, PARTICULARLY AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL, FOCUS ON STRUCTURED CONVERSATIONS, STRUCTURED WRITING. THEY HAVE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES THAT WILL HELP INCREASE THEIR ENGLISH ONE AND TWO PERFORMANCE.

WE'RE ALSO UTILIZING READING PLUS.

THEY'VE GOT AN INITIATIVE LIKE INCENTIVIZING A READING PLUS INCENTIVE.

WE'RE ALSO UTILIZING OUR INTERVENTION TEACHERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING VERY EXPLICIT READING INSTRUCTION.

WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF OUR KIDS COME TO US AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, NOT AT GRADE LEVEL, NOT READING AT GRADE LEVEL, SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY FOCUSING ON CLOSING THOSE GAPS.

SO WE'RE DOING THAT THROUGH READING PLUS AND OBVIOUSLY THROUGH EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION.

AND IT GOES ON WITH LIKE CONSISTENT LESSON PLANNING, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MONITORING LESSON PLAN AND DESIGN AS WELL AS DELIVERY.

AND SO SO THAT COVERS ENGLISH ONE AND TWO.

NEXT SLIDE.

ON TELPAS, ANY TIME YOU SEE A RED, YOU START TO WONDER, WHY DO WE HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR FIRST GRADERS? AND THAT WE KNOW THAT IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION.

THIS IS LEARNING, OBVIOUSLY, SECOND LANGUAGE, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT INTENTIONALITY WITH SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION.

WHAT I ASKED OUR DIRECTOR OF MULTILINGUAL IS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR 11TH GRADERS THERE.

WE'VE ACTUALLY PULLED DATA.

WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

WHY AREN'T THESE GIRLS, THESE STUDENTS, MAKING THE GROWTH NECESSARY ON TELPAS? AND SO THE GOOD THING IS THAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON SPEAKING AND WRITING, AND ANYTHING THAT WE DO FOR TELPAS OBVIOUSLY WE'LL CORRELATE AND ALSO TRANSFER AND HELP WITH STAAR. NEXT SLIDE.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT END OF YEAR TIER ONE, WE LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR KINDER THROUGH SECOND GRADE.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT END OF YEAR TIER ONE, WE ENDED AT KINDERGARTEN AT 59%, FIRST GRADE AT 64%, SECOND GRADE AT 60%.

THIS. WHAT THIS TELLS US IS THAT 59% OF OUR KINDERGARTNERS WERE AT OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL AT THE END OF KINDERGARTEN.

AND SO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO CONTINUE WORKING BY MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW OUR PHONICS PROGRAM, AND TEACH IT WITH FIDELITY. THAT'S WHAT THIS TELLS US.

IF WE'RE NOT TEACHING PHONICS WITH FIDELITY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET 100% OF OUR KIDS ON LEVEL.

AND WE KNOW WE SOMETIMES RECEIVE STUDENTS BELOW LEVELS.

SO THIS IS ONE WAY THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TEACHING OUR PHONICS PROGRAM WITH FIDELITY.

I KNOW THAT A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS STRUGGLED.

IF THEY WERE NEW TO OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING TO ALSO LEARN EVERYTHING THAT THEY WERE LEARNING THROUGH READING ACADEMIES ALONG WITH TEACHING PHONICS.

SO AGAIN, I THINK WE HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS KNOW HOW TO USE OPEN COURT, WHICH IS OUR PHONICS PROGRAM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLOSING THOSE GAPS AND THAT WE SEND MORE OF OUR KIDS READY FOR THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL.

AND SO ON THE MAP GOALS, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR THAT WE'RE UTILIZING THE MAP SCREENER.

SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO TO GAUGE AND SET A TARGET.

BUT WE'VE SET IT TO MIRROR OUR OUR READING GOALS.

NEXT SLIDE. THIS ONE'S A TOUGH ONE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN 2021 WE DID NOT ASSESS OUR STUDENTS.

WE WERE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC.

IT WAS AT THE END OF OUR FIRST YEAR.

AND SO THIS HAS BEEN KIND OF A MOVING TARGET.

WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK, I BELIEVE, THIS FALL.

KEVIN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

WE'LL GET OUR RESULTS AND WE'LL KNOW HOW WE DID AT THE END OF 21-22.

[00:55:04]

AND SO, NEXT SLIDE.

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

I WANT TO BRAG ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING TO INCREASE OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

AND I WANT TO THANK OUR DAOS, OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND OUR DIRECTOR OF ADVANCED ACADEMICS, ALONG WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF COUNSELING, WHO ARE HELPING WITH THESE EFFORTS, ALONG WITH OUR PRINCIPALS, IS THAT WE'RE OBVIOUSLY INCREASING OUR STUDENTS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE TSIA IF THEY HAVE NOT MET THE CCR CRITERIA BY THEIR SENIOR YEAR.

WE'RE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE TAKEN PSAT DAY TO BE KIND OF A DAY WHERE WE HAVE OUR SENIORS TAKE THE TSIA TOO SO THAT THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND AND TRY TO EARN THAT THAT CCR.

WE'VE INCREASED OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT IN AP CLASSES.

WE'VE INCREASED DUAL CREDIT, DUAL ENROLLMENT, OVERALL.

JUST LAST YEAR WE WENT FROM LIKE 400, ALMOST 400 IBCS TO OVER 1000.

I BELIEVE SUZY WOULD SAY 1063.

BUT IT IS PRETTY AMAZING.

AGAIN, OUR DATA IS NOT GOING TO SHOW THAT PER SE BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IN THE REARS, IT'S LAGGING BEHIND.

SO ALSO WITH A BLOCK SCHEDULE, IT WILL GIVE US MUCH MORE FLEXIBILITY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE SUPPORT COURSES WHEN STUDENTS HAVEN'T MET THEIR CCR, BUT ALSO TO TAKE AN AP COURSE OR DUAL CREDIT COURSE THAT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE.

SO OUR CURRENT SENIORS, ACCORDING TO KEVIN, ARE SITTING ABOUT 10% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR'S SENIORS AT THIS TIME, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS.

AND THEN LAST SPRING WE GAVE THE SAT AND HAD HIGHER PARTICIPATION THAN THE YEAR BEFORE, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC OR KIND OF AT THE TAIL END.

AND I THINK WE'RE STILL IN THE PANDEMIC, BUT I KEEP PRETENDING LIKE WE'RE DONE.

AND SO NEXT SLIDE.

AND SO WITH THE HB REQUIRED BOARD GOALS, IT'S, I LOVE SEEING ALL THE GREEN ON THE SCREEN AND I KNOW WITH THIRD GRADE AT THE MEETS LEVEL THAT WE OBVIOUSLY MET OUR TARGETS.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAD TO START OR SET OUR GOALS IN 21 INSTEAD OF 2019, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE CONVERSATION WAS TO START BACK IN 2019.

BUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE DATA, WE HAD TO SET THE TARGET STARTING IN 21 FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

AND SO I KNOW THAT WE'LL HAVE TO ADJUST BASED ON HOW WELL OUR STUDENTS PERFORM.

AND SO AT THIS POINT, I KNOW THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SUB POPS AND YOU THINK OF OUR STUDENTS NOT MEETING OUR TARGETS.

KNOW THAT ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT MAKES IT QUITE DIFFICULT IS THAT WE TYPICALLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STUDENTS IN THAT SUB POPULATION.

WHEN YOU COMPARE OURSELVES, ESPECIALLY IN THIRD GRADE READING AND THIRD GRADE MATH TO THE STATE, WE ARE PERFORMING AT OR ABOVE THE STATE LEVEL. THE ONLY AREA WHERE WE ARE NOT PERFORMING CLOSE TO THE STATE AND BELOW THE STATE IS WITH OUR EMERGENT BILINGUALS.

AND SO WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH OUR EBS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE, THAT WE ARE PERFORMING AT OR ABOVE THE STATE LEVEL AND REALLY ABOVE THE STATE LEVEL WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE.

AND THAT IS JUST TO HAVE MORE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

I KNOW THAT WE'VE STARTED PAIRED LITERACY AND THAT'S BASICALLY TEACHING OUR BILINGUAL STUDENTS TO READ IN BOTH LANGUAGES.

THAT'S, I THINK, A GREAT SHIFT IN HOW WE WE TEACH OUR STUDENTS TO PREPARE THEM, WHICH WILL NOT ONLY HELP US WITH TELPAS, BUT ALSO HELP LONG TERM ACADEMICALLY.

AND THEN AGAIN WITH THE CCR, WE WILL BE GETTING OUR DATA TO REALLY COMPARE OURSELVES TO THE STATE LATER THIS FALL, I BELIEVE, NOVEMBER 7.

AND SO AT THIS POINT, THAT'S REALLY THOSE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE DATA? MS. SEDILLO, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I WILL START OVER HERE TO MY LEFT.

OK. THEN START OVER HERE.

MS. OROSCO I SAW YOUR HAND.

NEXT. JUST A FEW QUESTIONS, MS. SEDILLO. YES, MA'AM.

TELL ME, WHAT ARE THE MATH NON-NEGOTIABLES THIS YEAR? WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT ONE NON-NEGOTIABLE WOULD BE THAT WE UTILIZE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT ARE AT THE LEVEL OF THE STANDARD.

SO OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT UTILIZING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS SUCH AS TEACHER PAY TEACHERS, THAT ISN'T WRITTEN TO THE LEVEL OF RIGOR, THE STANDARD.

[01:00:07]

BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR OUR TEACHERS TO VET THOSE MATERIALS WITH THEIR PRINCIPAL AND SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE MATERIALS ARE WRITTEN AT THE LEVEL OF THE STANDARD.

OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T WANT TO WATER DOWN ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT WE GIVE OUR STUDENTS, OTHERWISE WE'RE NOT FULLY PREPARING THEM FOR A STANDARDIZED TEST. SO LAST YEAR YOU HAD NON-NEGOTIABLES, WHICH INCLUDED, EVERYBODY HAS TO DO DREAMBOX, EVERYBODY HAS TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

OKAY. SO AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, LIKE I SAID, AND I MAY HAVE BEEN SPEAKING SUPER FAST, IS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, WE ARE USING DREAMBOX.

SO THAT IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE AN MASTERED SKILLS ARE ABLE TO PRACTICE AND SO THAT WILL HELP SUPPORT THEM.

AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE'VE GIVEN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SOME AUTONOMY.

WE KNOW THAT BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS SUPER SUCCESSFUL USING GET MORE MATH AS A WAY TO SUPPORT MATH INSTRUCTION.

IT'S WORKED FOR THEM AND SO WE'VE ALLOWED THEM TO ALSO USE IT.

WITH IXL WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES THAT ARE USING IXL.

I ACTUALLY SAW IT IN A DEMO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I FELT WAS A FIRST QUESTION'S THAT RESEARCH BASED.

AND, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, WITH ANY PROGRAM, IT HAS TO BE USED WITH FIDELITY TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT WORKS.

AND SO I BELIEVE ONE CAMPUS AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH CAMPUS USED IXL LAST YEAR WITH SOME SOME GOOD SUCCESS.

AND SO THOSE WOULD BE PROBABLY MY TWO NON-NEGOTIABLES PER SE IN TERMS OF MATH.

AND THEN I'LL ASK IT IN MY QUESTION SO I CAN GET SPECIFIC.

AND IF IT'S SPECIFIC TO PRIMARY GRADES VERSUS THE UPPER GRADES, BECAUSE I KNOW, I KNOW I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT DREAMBOX IS NOT REALLY BEING USED IN THE UPPER GRADES, SO I JUST WANT SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

SO I'LL ASK FOR A LIST OF NON-NEGOTIABLES FOR MATH AND READING IN BOTH ELEMENTARY PRIMARY GRADES AND SO ON.

RIGHT. SO JUST TO CLARIFY, MS. OROSCO, YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO PROVIDE YOU A LIST OF THE SOFTWARE THAT WE'RE USING THAT IS DISTRICT PURCHASED THAT WE'RE EXPECTING OUR CAMPUSES TO USE, WHETHER IT'S SOFTWARE OR WHETHER I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER WAY YOU'RE DOING IT, BUT YOUR NON-NEGOTIABLES FOR MATH AND READING AND THEN YOU CAN BREAK THAT DOWN, WHETHER IT'S FOR THE PRIMARY GRADES IN ELEMENTARY OR NOT, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS LIKE REALLY SPECIFIC.

EVERYBODY'S GOING TO USE DREAMBOX IN ELEMENTARY LAST YEAR, AND SO THIS YEAR THERE'S A SHIFT.

SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE NON-NEGOTIABLES, RIGHT? I'LL LIST IT ON HERE AND YOU CAN GET THAT TO ME.

AND THEN ALSO BECAUSE YOU DID MENTION DREAMBOX, YOU KNOW, WHAT GRADES ARE REALLY USING THAT YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE SCREENER THAT YOU ALL JUST GOT FOR MATH. WHAT WAS THAT? NWEA MAP.

K THROUGH 8. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW, WAS WHAT GRADES THAT IT IS BEING USED AT.

AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THESE TELPAS SCORES.

OUR TELPAS SCORES HAVE REALLY JUST GONE THROUGH THE ROOF.

THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH GROWTH IN TELPAS SINCE WE CHANGED OUR MODEL THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT GROWTH AND THAT WE'RE OUTPERFORMING THE STATE IN MOST PARTS.

SO THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE, OUR TELPAS SCORES.

AND I KNOW THAT WAS THROUGH THE INITIATIVE THAT CAME BEFORE US AND THAT YOU ALL IMPLEMENTED.

SO FANTASTIC WORK ON THERE.

I DO WANT TO KNOW, ONCE YOU DO GET THOSE PRE KINDER SCORES TO SEE IF THEY'RE KINDER READY, I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE PROVIDED TO US.

AND THEN ALSO, YOU'RE SO RIGHT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE SUB POP NUMBERS, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT A PERCENTAGE THAT'S FAILING OR IN THE RED AND USUALLY IT TRANSLATES TO MAYBE A HANDFUL OF KIDS.

BUT IT REALLY LOOKS WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S LIKE, WOW, WHY ARE WE PERFORMING SO LOW? SO I AM GOING TO ASK A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL STUDENTS IN THAT SUB POP GROUP THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT? AND AGAIN, YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT LATER.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT FORWARD AND I'LL LIST IT ON MY GOOGLE SHEET OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I SUBMIT AND RECAP AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, AND ALSO FOR OUR REQUIRED HB THREE BOARD GOALS.

[01:05:03]

WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT GRADE THREE, READING FOR MERCHANT BILINGUAL, WHAT ARE THEY BEING TESTED IN LANGUAGE? WHAT IS THEIR LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION? WHAT IS THE BREAKDOWN ON THAT? BECAUSE I AM SURE NOT ALL EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS ARE BEING TESTED IN SPANISH OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

AND NOW THAT WE HAVE WHAT, 44 LANGUAGES, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT AND WHO'S INCLUDED IN THAT EMERGENT BILINGUAL NUMBER.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS INCLUDED IN THAT EB, RIGHT CRITERIA FOR BEING EB AND WHAT LANGUAGE THEY ARE TESTING IN.

AND I THINK THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS, YOU SEE.

THOSE ARE SOME GREAT QUESTIONS.

I LOVE IT. EASY PEASY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS TO THE LEFT? YES, MA'AM. MS. RUNKLE.

JUST ONE. MS. SEDILLO, YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE PULLING THE DATA ON THE 11TH GRADE TELPAS.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT WILL YOU JUST PUT IT ON BOARD BLOG? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

THAT'S ALL I ASK. ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AS WELL.

MS. SEDILLO.

I WANT TO CAPTURE.

SEDILLO SAID THAT THEY WERE PULLING THE DATA ON WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 11TH GRADE TELPAS.

SO WHEN SHE GETS THAT INFORMATION, IF SHE CAN JUST POST ON BOARD BLOG SO THAT WE HAVE THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU. MS. SEDILLO. SO ON THE KINDER THROUGH GRADE TWO, I WANT TO CALL OUT THE BIG JUMP.

SO WE HAD SPANISH LITERATURE FOR KINDERGARTEN.

WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT BIG? I MEAN, THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER COMPARED TO THE GOAL.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND I WISH I HAD THE ANSWER, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT FOR ALL CAMPUSES IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY DID.

I KNEW THAT TEACHING SPANISH PHONICS IS A LOT EASIER AT KINDERGARTEN THAN IT IS TEACHING ENGLISH PHONICS.

AND SO THE LANGUAGE IS VERY PHONETIC.

I CAN ALSO SAY, AND I KNEW THAT OUR BILINGUAL TEACHERS WOULD WANT ME TO SAY THAT THEY'RE JUST AMAZING AND THEY'VE DONE SOME GREAT WORK TEACHING.

AND SO I COULD ALSO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S CURRICULUM.

IT'S YOU KNOW, MANY OF OUR TEACHERS ARE PROBABLY EXPERIENCED.

SO IF I WERE TO COMPARE, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LEVEL OF TEACHER KNOWLEDGE OF TEACHING OUR STUDENTS.

SO THERE COULD BE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE THE GREAT SCORES FOR OUR SPANISH KINDERGARTNERS, AS WELL AS OUR FIRST AND SECOND GRADE, BECAUSE THE SCORES DO LOOK, THEY ARE HIGHER.

AND SO IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS.

BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT ON THE MONOLINGUAL SIDE.

THERE COULD BE SPECIFIC FACTORS, BUT I'LL BE HAPPY TO RESEARCH THAT FOR YOU.

ELSEWHERE? SO THAT'S WHY. ABSOLUTELY.

GREAT QUESTION. ALL RIGHT.

A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS FOR ME.

SO ON COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

DO WE LOOK AT THE GOALS AFTER THEIR SENIOR YEAR? IS IS THERE A WAY TO LOOK SOONER, LIKE AT THE END OF THE 10TH GRADE YEAR.

IN TERMS OF THEY'VE MET THE CCR CRITERIA? OKAY. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL HAVE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK IS WITH OUR NEW CCR DASHBOARD.

AND SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL BE LAUNCHED.

DR. WATSON, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO THE CCR DASHBOARD SO WE CAN ACTUALLY PULL THAT DATA TO SHOW YOU IN REAL TIME WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR CURRENT STUDENT POPULATION.

AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT, BUT WE CAN PULL THAT DATA TO SEE WHERE WE ARE NOW.

NOT SURE IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE CAN WE CAN BREAK IT DOWN BY, YOU KNOW, 9TH, 10TH, 11TH, 12TH.

AND THEN WHAT WE'RE DOING AND RIGHT NOW IS MAKING SURE FOR ANY SENIOR WHO HASN'T MET THE CCR CRITERIA IS THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PREP THEM FOR AT LEAST A TSIA 2 SO THAT THEY HAVE THE OPTION WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE POST SECONDARY IS THAT THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION AND THAT THEY ARE CCR READY IN CASE THEY DECIDE TO GO TO A JUNIOR COLLEGE OR, YOU KNOW, GO INTO THE WORKFORCE THAT AT LEAST THEY ALWAYS HAVE THAT BACKUP.

AND AGAIN, IT'S FOR THEM.

WE GET THE POINT, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT OUR POINT.

IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE OUR STUDENTS ARE LIFE READY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ON THE PRE-KINDER, THE KINDERGARTEN READY 2020-2021 SO THAT WHEN THE DISTRICT

[01:10:06]

SO WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT? THE PANDEMIC AND THAT MANY OF OUR KIDS WERE LEARNING AT HOME VIRTUAL.

AND SO THAT WAS REALLY HARD TO REALLY ASSESS WHERE THEY WERE BECAUSE EITHER THEY WERE ASSESSED OR WEREN'T ATTENDING SCHOOL.

AND SO THAT WAS REALLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT, AND EVEN WITH SOME OF OUR SCORES AT THAT POINT, WE DON'T KNOW IF THE PARENTS WERE ACTUALLY TAKING THEIR ASSESSMENT OR IF IT WAS REALLY THE CHILD WHO WAS BEING ASSESSED.

IN THIS CASE, KEVIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE HERE, OTHER THAN WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE GOOD ASSESSMENT DATA. GOOD EVENING.

YEAH, I WOULD SAY THAT WAS OUR FIRST YEAR OF DOING THE M CLASS.

THAT WAS OUR YEAR WE SWITCHED.

THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WE STARTED ALL VIRTUAL.

SO ALL THOSE KIDS TOOK A TEST THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE THE FIRST TIME AT HOME.

SO THERE WERE LOTS OF THINGS GOING IN THAT.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE KIND OF WAITING FOR THIS NEXT ROUND TO COME.

I THINK IT'S LIKE IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER ISH, SO THAT WE CAN SEE HOW WE MIGHT NEED TO ADJUST THAT GOAL.

THERE'S LOTS OF FACTORS THAT WE WEREN'T HAPPY WITH FOR SURE.

OKAY. THAT'S RIGHT.

IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF IN-CLASS. AND SO, NOT TRYING TO BEAT THIS UP, BUT COMPARING TO THE STATE.

SO THE KINDERGARTEN READY LEVEL FOR THE STATE WAS 70%.

WE JUST, SO THE ASSESSMENT THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE WAS PROBABLY A BIG CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THAT.

IT WAS ONE.

AND THE STATE DOESN'T NECESSARILY UTILIZE IN CLASS.

AND THIS IS WHY THE STATE REALLY TAKES DATA FROM ALL THE DISTRICTS AND THEN PUTS OUT A REPORT SHOWING BASED ON THE DISTRICT ASSESSMENT WHERE WE ARE. SO I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES, BUT JUST OVERALL, HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE ACTUALLY KINDERGARTEN READY? RIGHT. OKAY.

LIKE I SAID, YEAH, I'M NOT TRYING TO BEAT US UP, BUT, I MEAN, IF THERE'S THINGS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON, I MEAN, WHICH I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD SINCE AND WE'VE SEEN SOME GREAT RESULTS IN OTHER AREAS TO THE HB THREE BOARD GOALS.

MS. OROSCO I WANT TO SECOND YOUR, I KNOW WE DON'T NEED A SECOND, BUT JUST THE SUB POPS, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT NUMBER TO LOOK AT, BUT ALSO JUST THE GOALS.

I MEAN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CLOSING GAPS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SUB POPS.

AND SO I WANT TO CALL IT OUT BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE PAST MAYBE WE KIND OF KEPT THE SAME PACE, IF YOU WILL, FOR EACH.

WE'VE ACTUALLY FOR SOME WE'RE INCREASING OR OUR TARGETS, ARE AT 2% INCREASE.

BUT TO REALLY CLOSE OUR GAPS FOR SOME OF OUR SUB POPS WE'RE WANTING OUR TARGETS ARE AT 3%.

RIGHT. AND SO WE DO HAVE THAT DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE TWO JUST TO TRY TO ACCELERATE AND FOR US TO TRY TO CLOSE THOSE GAPS FASTER.

AWESOME. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD MS. SEDILLO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MR. MERIDETH KELLER. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, TEAM.

[I. CONSENT AGENDA]

DO WE HAVE ANY ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO PULL FROM CONSENT AGENDA? PER BOARD POLICY BE ALL ITEMS LISTED AS CONSENT ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE BOARD AND SHALL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION.

THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS.

JUST A MINUTE HERE, GETTING A LITTLE LOST ON MY AGENDA HERE.

ALL RIGHT, TIM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT I MOVE THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

I SECOND.

MOVED BY ESPERANZA OROSCO, SECONDED BY MS. RUNKEL. ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY. HEARING NONE.

LET'S HAVE OUR VOTE.

SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0.

[01:15:05]

[J.1. Consideration and possible approval of 2022 Bond School Bus purchase Max Cleaver]

ALL RIGHT. ITEM J1, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF 2022 BOND SCHOOL BUS PURCHASE.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES A 2022 BOND PURCHASE OF SCHOOL BUSSES FROM LONGHORN BUS SALES IN THE AMOUNT OF $6,778,083 AS PRESENTED.

MOVE BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MS. OROSCO. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0.

ALL RIGHT. ACTION ITEM J2 ON PAGE 44.

THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF PORTABLE BUILDING RELOCATION SERVICES.

[J.2. Consideration and possible approval of Portable Building Relocation Services Max Cleaver]

AND R L HICKS L.P.

FOR A COMBINED TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED $200,000 AS PRESENTED.

MOVE BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MS. OROSCO. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0.

ON PAGE 46.

ITEM NUMBER J3, REVIEW AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE HAYS CISD BOARD GOALS FOR THE 2022-2023 YEAR.

[J.3. Review and possible adoption of the Hays CISD Board Goals for 2022-2023]

OKAY, SO HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET DR.

WRIGHT TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE US SOME INSIGHT ON OUR BOARD GOALS.

SO YOU WERE JUST PRESENTED IN THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT, THE TARGETED HOUSE BILL THREE GOALS AS WELL AS THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT GOALS.

AND SO WE ADJUSTED THOSE NUMBERS ACCORDINGLY.

WITH THE SUB POP'S, WE USE THE THE 2% ACROSS THE BOARD AND THEN FOR THE SUB POP'S 3% AND SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

THAT'S THE INTENDED OUTCOME.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IN YOUR PACKET THE SPECIFIC EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT FOR GOALS NUMBER ONE, TWO AND THREE. AND SO I BELIEVE THESE ARE FAIR GOALS AND GOALS THAT WILL HELP US CONTINUE TO SHOW GROWTH ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND AND BE AHEAD OF THE STATE AND OUR PEERS IN THE AREA.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THESE TO YOU TONIGHT.

DR. WRIGHT, THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, TEAM? MS. OROSCO. THANK YOU, MR. VELA.

DR. WRIGHT. FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THAT I REALLY LIKE THAT YOU CHANGED ON THE GOALS YOU LABELED YOUR FOCUS AREA AND YOUR PERFORMANCE GOALS AND DATA SOURCES.

I THINK THAT MAKES IT REALLY CLEAR ON WHAT THAT SHOULD BE.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT CHANGE.

IT JUST MAKES IT LOOK REALLY CLEAN AND VERY PRECISE.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT.

THE NEXT THING THAT I WANTED TO MENTION WAS ON GOAL THREE FOR BOARD STAFF, COMMUNITY RELATIONS GOAL.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE, AND I KNOW YOU AND I HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET A DASHBOARD FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO LOOK AT.

BUT ANOTHER DASHBOARD THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND I SPECIFICALLY HAVE MENTIONED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW IS THAT DASHBOARD THAT IS A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD THAT CAPTURES INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DISTRICT TO PROMOTE TO THE COMMUNITY.

LOTS OF DISTRICTS DO USE A DASHBOARD LIKE THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY ALSO HAS THAT BUY IN, DOESN'T SHARE STUDENT INFORMATION.

[01:20:04]

THERE'S SOME WONDERFUL EXAMPLES THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU.

DR. WRIGHT, OF OTHER DISTRICTS DOING THIS COMMUNITY DASHBOARD.

THAT REALLY GIVES THEM A VIEW OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR DISTRICT.

AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT ADDED TO OUR BOARD GOAL NUMBER THREE UNDER EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT.

AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE TO KIND OF PUT THAT ALL TOGETHER.

WE HAVE ALL THE DATA.

WE JUST HAVE TO PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE AND PUT IT, CAPTURE ALL THAT INFORMATION.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE THAT DR.

WRIGHT, IF YOU THINK IT IS A POSSIBILITY TO ACTUALLY GET THAT DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THAT'S IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

AND I VIEWED THE SITES THAT YOU GAVE ME AND WHAT THEY DO AND KEVIN, I'M TALKING TO YOU SINCE YOU'RE IN THE AUDIENCE AND THIS IS KIND OF YOUR JAM, THEY TAKE ALL OF THE ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS AND THEY MERGE IT INTO INTO ONE DASHBOARD.

AND SO THAT'S THE THING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND OUT IS, WHICH SOFTWARE TOOLS WILL SPEAK TO THE OTHER BECAUSE WE HAVE SEVERAL.

SO WE HAVE M CLASS, WE HAVE DREAMBOX, WE HAVE ALL THE THINGS AND SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO LAY THAT OUT.

AND SO LET ME MAKE SURE THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING.

SO WHAT THE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING IS LIKE IT'S GLOBAL DATA, SO IT'LL BE ALL THIRD GRADERS IN HAYS CISD OR ALL FOURTH GRADERS IN HAYS CISD FOR THE DASHBOARD. AND THEN WE CAN SEE THE PROGRESS THAT WE'RE MAKING FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO MIDDLE OF THE YEAR TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND SHOW THAT CONSISTENT GROWTH.

AND SO, YES, I WOULD LIKE TIME TO RESEARCH THAT, AND I THINK IT'S DOABLE AS LONG AS WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE DIFFERENT PIECES SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO YOU AND GIVE YOU A PRECISE TIMELINE FOR WHEN WE THINK THAT WE CAN HAVE THIS UP AND READY TO GO.

BUT ARE YOU OKAY WITH ADDING IT TO THE BOARD GOALS AND THEN TELLING US THE TIMELINE LATER? YES, PROVIDED THAT IT'S THE COLLECTIVE WILL OF THE BOARD.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE A FRONT FACING DASHBOARD THAT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY CAN EMBRACE, AND IT'LL HELP SEE THE PROGRESS THAT WE'RE MAKING ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO IT.

AND THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE EASIER READS LIKE HOW MANY CERTIFICATIONS DO WE GIVE OUT EACH YEAR, LIKE INFORMATION LIKE THAT THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST ASTONISHED WHEN DR.

WRIGHT DOES THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT AT LUNCHEONS AT THE CHAMBER, THEY'RE JUST SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH WE ARE DOING.

AND IT'S SUCH FANTASTIC NEWS THAT WE NEED TO SHARE IT EVEN MORE.

SO EVEN STARTING SIMPLE AND THEN GROWING IT, IS GREAT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT TO OUR BOARD GOAL THREE AND THEN DR.

WRIGHT, I GUESS IT WOULD JUST FALL UNDER EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT OR DO YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE WORDING IN OUR BOARD GOAL? WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE? MY PREFERENCE IS WE JUST ADD IT TO EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT.

THANK YOU. MS. OROSCO, WHAT IS THAT DASHBOARD CALL? DOES IT HAVE A SPECIFIC NAME THAT WE'RE CALLING THAT? IT'S A COMMUNITY PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD.

MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER TECHNICAL TERM FOR IT, BUT THAT'S WHAT I CALL IT.

ALL RIGHT. SO, MS. RUNKLE. YES, I'M ALL FOR THIS.

IF DR. WRIGHT ,AND I SEE THE BENEFIT TO IT, AND IF DR.

WRIGHT'S ON BOARD, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE ADD THIS, THAT THE REST OF THE BOARD IS OKAY WITH ADDING THIS AND WHAT THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS.

OKAY, SOUNDS GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, SIR. MR. SEVERANCE.

IF WE'RE TO COORDINATE MS. RUNKLE'S QUESTION, I THINK DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUST HELPS IMPROVE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE, LIKE LETTING OUR COMMUNITY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IN A KIND OF REAL TIME.

I MEAN, I KNOW, DR. WRIGHT, YOU DO A GREAT JOB OF COMMUNICATING OUR SUCCESSES WITH ALL THOSE MICRO MEETINGS, BUT TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND PARENTS, I THINK MAKES SENSE TO ME.

SO I'M ON BOARD WITH THAT.

ALIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE. YES, SIR.

MR. MCMANUS. YEAH, I AGREE.

BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE AND MS. OROSCO, YOU CAN ADD THIS MAYBE TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE SAMPLE DASHBOARDS THAT YOU HAD SENT TO DR.

WRIGHT, JUST SO I CAN GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THOSE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING.

BUT I ALSO THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

THANK YOU, MR. MCMANUS. [INAUDIBLE] YES, MA'AM.

I JUST APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY.

SO I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA IF DR.

WRIGHT IS ON BOARD. OKAY, GREAT.

[01:25:01]

WRIGHT IS IN AGREEMENT. WE HAVE CONSENSUS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING THIS COMMUNITY FACING PUBLIC DASHBOARD.

VERY FANCY TECHNICAL TERM.

SO OKAY TEAM, LET ME GO AHEAD AND READ OUR SUGGESTED MOTION.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE HAYS CISD GOALS FOR 2022-2023, AS DISCUSSED. MOVED BY MS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR. OH, WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THAT VOTE.

I DO HAVE. SORRY, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT, I KNOW OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS SCHOOL.

I KNOW I MENTIONED POSSIBLY RAISING THAT GOAL FROM 60 TO 67%.

I APPRECIATE MS. OROSCO SAYING THAT MAYBE WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME HISTORICAL DATA TO SUPPORT THAT GOAL TO MAKE SURE IT WAS TRULY ATTAINABLE.

I'D JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO, DR.

WRIGHT IF YOU COULD TELL ME WHAT HISTORICAL DATA WE LOOKED AT AND KEEPING THAT AT 60 INSTEAD OF MOVING THAT GOAL UP.

I'D JUST LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

I'M OKAY WITH LEAVING IT 60.

I'D JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND LEAVING IT AT 60 IN THE HISTORICAL DATA TO SUPPORT THAT.

SO, MR. SEVERANCE, IN THE DAIS FOLDER, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE PERCENTAGES AND IT'S IN THE LAST CELL ON THE BACK PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT.

SO THIS IS TWO YEARS IN ARREARS THE CCR DATA AND SO MOVING IT FORWARD, WE WERE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS UNTIL COVID HIT.

AND THEN JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, IT REALLY SLOWED IT DOWN.

AND SO SINCE WE'RE TWO YEARS OUT AND KEVIN, YOU MAY CORRECT ME, BUT OUR NUMBERS REALLY, REALLY FELL.

AND SO FOR THE PROJECTED NUMBERS WENT FROM 64% IN '20 DOWN TO 51% IN '21 AND IS PROJECTED TO 51% IN '22.

AND SO BUMPING IT BACK UP TO 60 GETS US BACK CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE COVID.

AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT.

BUT THAT'S A NINE PERCENTAGE POINT INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO WE JUST FELT LIKE THAT WAS A GOOD TRAJECTORY.

AND AND I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE HIGHER THAN THAT, BUT IT'S JUST SAFE COMING OFF.

AND SO, KEVIN, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? AND I JUST SAY THAT THEY'RE CHANGING A-F AND THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE TELLING US RIGHT NOW IS THEY MIGHT MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO GET THAT NUMBER.

SO I THINK WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WE MIGHT GET THAT.

BUT WITH SOME OF THE CHANGES, LIKE TO IBCS, FOR EXAMPLE, SAYING THAT KIDS NOW NEED TO EARN AN IBC PLUS HAVE SO MANY CREDITS IN CERTAIN CLASSES, BASICALLY ONCE WE BUILD IT UP TEA CHANGES THE RULES TO LOWER US BACK DOWN.

SO WE THINK WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE, BUT WE JUST THINK THAT 60% IS A SAFER THING AT THIS MOMENT UNTIL WE KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME MOVING FORWARD.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST DON'T WANT US TO FORGET AS A DISTRICT THAT BACK IN 2020 WE WERE AT 64%.

SO I DON'T WANT US TO RESET OUR GOAL.

I DON'T WANT TO RESET LIKE START FROM A LOWER BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHERE WE'RE AT.

BUT I KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN.

SO I WON'T FORGET THAT WE WERE AT 64 AND I KNOW WE WANT TO GET BACK TO THERE, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT RESETTING FROM 51 TO 60 IS ALSO A BIG JUMP TOO. BUT JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

YEAH. AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT KEVIN JUST SAID.

SO WHEN I PRESENTED THE TIMELINE FOR STAAR 2.0 EARLIER AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THE RULES UP AS THEY'RE FLYING THE PLANE, I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO TIGHTEN THIS UP AS WELL.

AND SO THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT. IT REMINDED ME THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO ADD SOME CRITERIA, WHICH IS GOING TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT.

SO INSTEAD OF JUST EARNING ONE INDICATOR, THEY MAY MAKE STUDENTS EARN MORE THAN ONE.

AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRACK THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS AS WELL.

SO I THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE.

SO, TEAM, WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE.

ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0.

TEAM, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

YOU KNOW, SETTING THE GOALS IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WE HAVE AS A BOARD.

AND SO GREAT JOB AND CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON.

HOW DARE FURNITURE WILL BE COMING, I BELIEVE, NATE SAID IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS.

AND SO WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE AT THAT DAHLSTROM AT THAT PHASE TWO, THAT SPLIT COMPLETION OF THE CLASSROOM WING.
