[H. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PETREA.

AND GOOD EVENING TO THE AUDIENCE THAT IS HERE IN PERSON AS WELL AS ON LINE.

SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE OUR JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND FOR BECOMING SEMIFINALIST AT THE GRAND NATIONALS IN INDIANAPOLIS AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM.

SO THEY FINISHED 15TH OUT OF 100 BANDS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

AND SO I THINK IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO EVER GO TO NATIONALS AT JOHNSON.

AND SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BAND ON A WELL DESERVED ACCOMPLISHMENT [APPLAUSE].

NEXT. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE TODAY.

OUR ENROLLMENT IS AT 22,330 STUDENTS AND OUR ATTENDANCE IS 93.17.

SO OUR ENROLLMENT IS STILL TRACKING ABOUT WHERE IT HAS BEEN.

WE'VE CLOSED A FEW MORE HOUSES, BUT WE STILL ARE BEHIND IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND LABOR SHORTAGE.

SO WE KNOW THAT 3,500 HOMES HAVE BEEN STARTED AND WE'VE CLOSED AROUND 2,250 NOW.

SO WE STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD A LOT MORE KIDS MOVING FORWARD THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE IN THE SAME BOAT AS TIM SAVOY AND BEEN WAITING TO CLOSE HIS HOUSE FOR, WHAT, FOUR MONTHS NOW? ON TOP OF WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.

SO I THINK A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE TIM SAVOY BOAT AND I WON'T I WON'T MENTION THE NAME OF THE HOMEBUILDER.

BUT ANYWAY, HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME MORE CLOSED SOON.

NEXT THING I WANTED TO BRING UP, OBVIOUSLY TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR AUDIT REPORT AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THE REVENUE THAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED THAT WE WOULD GENERATE DIDN'T TURN OUT TO BE SO BECAUSE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ADA HOLD HARMLESS FOR THE FIFTH AND SIXTH SIX WEEKS AND THEN OUR ATTENDANCE RATE FOR THE FIFTH AND SIXTH, SIX WEEKS AT THE END OF LAST YEAR WAS AROUND JUST A LITTLE OVER 90%, CLOSE LIKE 90.9.

AND SO WE LOST AROUND $7 MILLION IN FUNDING JUST FOR THOSE TWO PERIODS OF TIME.

AND WE WERE ALL THINKING THAT WE WERE GOING TO RECEIVE A HOLD HARMLESS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

AND WHAT WE FOUND FROM BEHIND THE SCENES IS THAT THE STATE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A $27 BILLION SURPLUS RIGHT NOW, THEY THEY NOTICED THAT $9 BILLION IN ESSER FUNDS HADN'T BEEN SPENT ACROSS ALL THE DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THAT MONEY WAS INITIALLY EARMARKED FOR LEARNING LOSS AND ALSO FOR MENTAL HEALTH.

AND SO WE WERE SPENDING OURS FOR THAT PURPOSE.

[00:05:03]

SO JUST SETTING THE STAGE BECAUSE AS WE BEGIN THE BUDGET SEASON, IT'S THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE ESSER MONEY THAT WE HAD EARMARKED FOR NEXT YEAR, WE'LL HAVE TO PLUG THE HOLE FROM LAST YEAR.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'LL DO AWAY WITH THOSE POSITIONS.

WE MAY JUST HAVE TO REPURPOSE SOME THINGS AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON WHETHER OUR ATTENDANCE INCREASES FOR THIS YEAR.

RIGHT NOW, LIKE I MENTIONED, IT'S 93.1%.

IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.

BUT FOR SOME REASON, IF WE HAD AN INVERTED SCALE FROM YEARS PAST AND WE PICK UP STEAM IN THE SPRING WHEN EVERYBODY GETS WELL, HEALTHY AND EVERYTHING'S GOING GREAT, MAYBE WE CAN FLIP THE SCRIPT AND AND BRING IN SOME MORE MONEY.

BUT IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PRIORITIZE POSITIONS AND WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS THROUGH THE BUDGETING PROCESS.

SO I KIND OF I WANTED TO BREAK THAT NEWS TO YOU BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE THERE'S A $7 MILLION DEFICIT IN OUR AUDIT THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, AS A BOARD AND AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE HAVE ADOPTED DEFICIT BUDGETS EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

BUT WE'VE ALWAYS PUT MONEY BACK IN FUND BALANCE.

WE'RE NOT THIS YEAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, AND IT'S BECAUSE OUR REVENUE DIDN'T TURN OUT TO BE WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

SO IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ALL OF US TO GET TOGETHER AND PRIORITIZE WHAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT.

AND SO DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE YET, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO PLANT SEEDS SO THAT WE CAN GROW A GOOD GARDEN LATER ON.

SO I WANTED YOU TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE WHERE WE'RE LOCATED RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED.

THE NEXT THING THAT I WANT TO DO, AND I'M GOING TO STEP AROUND FRONT FOR THIS PART.

SO THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S STANDING UP ON THE STAGE RIGHT NOW, RICHARD LOZANO, WE JUST WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN PROMOTED AND HE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE A SCHOOL SRO FOR THE DISTRICT AND HE'S BEEN WITH US FOR 13 YEARS.

AND SO HE HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING.

HE HAS A HUGE HEART FOR OUR KIDS AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND AND SO WE COULDN'T LET YOU LEAVE BEING AN SRO WITHOUT US PRESENTING YOU WITH A COIN OF EXCELLENCE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. AND THEN I KNOW JERI WANTS TO SAY A FEW WORDS AS WELL.

[APPLAUSE] ARLO IN THE HOUSE.

SO, RICHARD, WE'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE PRESENTED TO RICHARD ARLO LOZANO, HAYS CISD SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER IN APPRECIATION OF 13 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE HAYS CISD FAMILY.

YOU HAVE BEEN AN UNSELFISH AND TIRELESS ADVOCATE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

OUR BEST WISHES AND HEARTFELT ADMIRATION AND ADMIRATION ACCOMPANY THIS EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE TO YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME [APPLAUSE].

SO I'M NOT GOING TO LET HIM LEAVE WITHOUT Y'ALL UNDERSTANDING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RICHARD LOZANO.

AND IT'S VERY, VERY FITTING THAT MR. CRUZ IS HERE TONIGHT.

HIS MCCORMACK FAMILY IS VERY DEAR TO HIM, AND HE FOLLOWED HIS SON OVER TO JOHNSON.

I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY REASON HE WENT TO CID FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND WORKED FOR ME.

RICHARD WORKED FOR ME AT THE HAYS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND I WAS ABLE TO LURE HIM BACK AND HE WORKED FOR ME IN INVESTIGATIONS.

BUT ULTIMATELY HE ENDED UP BACK.

HE WAS IN TRAFFIC.

AND ALTHOUGH HE LOOKED REALLY NICE IN THOSE FANCY LITTLE BOOTS THE TRAFFIC GUYS WEAR, HIS TRUE CALLING AND HIS ABSOLUTE LOVE AND TALENT IS WORKING WITH OUR JUVENILE OFFENDERS AND OUR YOUTH.

AND THE WAY IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN RICHARD, TALK TO A KID WHO IS STRUGGLING, IT IS A TRUE, REMARKABLE GIFT TO SEE WHAT HE HAS.

I WILL SAY THAT WE'RE EXTREMELY PLEASED THAT HE'LL BE GOING OVER TO CID AS A CORPORAL, SUPERVISOR, A DETECTIVE OVER THERE.

BUT WHAT HE IS GOING TO BE DOING AS WELL IS HE IS GOING TO BE WORKING AS THE JUVENILE DETECTIVE AND BE WORKING WITH AT RISK OFFENDERS.

SO WE WILL NOT BE GONE COMPLETELY.

HE WILL BE BACK VISITING US AND DOING ALL OF THAT.

FROM A PERSONAL STANDPOINT, I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING THIS JOB WITHOUT HIM.

HE IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE OFFICERS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH.

IT IS A SAD DAY FOR HAYS CISD TO BE LOSING HIM IN THE CAPACITY HE HAS, BUT I WILL PROMISE YOU THAT WE WILL SEE HIM BACK.

HE WILL BE DOING GOOD THINGS FOR US.

AND GODSPEED, BROTHER.

MRS. ARLISS IS VERY LUCKY.

LOVE YOU, BABY. [APPLAUSE] FIRST, YOU WANT TO TELL A STORY YOU WANT TO TELL A STORY ABOUT?

[00:10:12]

ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A CROWD.

I TRULY THANKFUL FOR THIS.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS WHATSOEVER.

I TRULY VALUE EVERYBODY'S KIDS IN HAYS CISD.

IT'S WHAT I DO, WHAT I DO AS AN SRO.

WHEN WE TALK TO OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS I ALWAYS MAKE IT A POINT TO LET THEM KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT THERE TO JUDGE THEM.

I HATE DOING THIS PART OF MY JOB SOMETIMES.

AND BUT NO MATTER WHAT, WHEN THEY LEAVE OUR OFFICE, THEY ALWAYS GET A CLEAN SLATE WITH US.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO JUDGE ANYBODY.

AND I ALWAYS MAKE THAT A POINT TO LET OUR KIDS KNOW.

AND EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT FIND THEMSELVES IN THE BEST CIRCUMSTANCES, WE TRY TO BE ENCOURAGING AND LET THEM KNOW THAT TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. BUT I TRULY CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS.

I ALWAYS HAVE.

AND I LOVE WORKING WITH EVERYBODY IN THE DISTRICT.

I MEAN, IT REALLY HAS BEEN A PLEASURE.

THE 13 YEARS HAS FLOWN BY JUST GETTING OLD.

BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

I HAD NO IDEA. I WAS JUST THINKING I'M WORKING, I WAS LIKE MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO.

BUT I APPRECIATE IT.

AND THANK YOU TO THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT WRIGHT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH [APPLAUSE].

AND I HAVE TO SAY BEFORE WE TAKE PICTURES.

SO TODAY, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CREATING THE PLAQUE, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS JUST CALLED HIM OFFICER LOZANO OR LOZANO.

AND THEN JERI WAS TELLING ME HE'S AFFECTIONATELY CALLED ARLO.

I'M LIKE, I'M LIKE, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, J.LO.

AND SHE SAID, ABSOLUTELY.

SO HE'S FAMOUS, MAN.

ARLO. THERE YOU GO.

WELL, THAT WAS FUN.

AND ALSO, I'M SAD NOW.

I LOVE LOZANO.

AND ALSO JERI CRACKED A LITTLE TINY BIT.

DID ANYBODY ELSE SEE THAT? DANG. [LAUGHTER] YEAH, WE'LL EDIT THAT OUT JERI.

SHE IS.

YES. OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT? SO IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE RIGHT THIS MINUTE VIDEO, THIS WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF US HAVE A LOT THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR AND THAT WE ARE THANKFUL FOR.

AND SOMETIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP IN ALL THE ALL THE THINGS THAT UPSET US OR MAKE A SAD.

BUT, HEY, LET'S FOCUS ON WHAT MAKES US HAPPY AND WHAT WE WHAT BLESSINGS WE DO HAVE.

AND I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A GREAT THANKSGIVING BREAK AND COMES BACK REFRESHED AND RECHARGED.

AND SO EVERYBODY KNOW I'M THANKFUL FOR THEM.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT? I'LL START OVER HERE, BYRON. MR. SEVERANCE. WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY, SINCE YOU MENTIONED MENTIONED THE JAGUAR BRAND, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO I'M NOT SURE IF PATTY MARINO IS HERE OR LANCE MOFFITT IS HERE.

I WANT TO SAY JUST THANKS TO THAT GROUP, NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THEM HERE, THAT WHEN THESE KIDS ARE DOING SOME GREAT THINGS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRAVELING TO THESE EVENTS.

I WANT TO SAY I THINK LANCE AND DUSTY SPENT A NICE LONG CAR RIDE DOWN TO CORPUS CHRISTI WHEN WE HAD WE HAD A RUNNER DOWN THERE.

AND I KNOW PATTY'S ASSISTANT WENT UP TO INDIANAPOLIS, JASON WENT TO INDIANAPOLIS.

SO I JUST WANT TO SHOUT OUT FOR THEM.

THAT'S A THAT'S WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT IN A LONG TIME.

AND SO IT'S JUST NICE TO SEE THEM DOING THAT.

SO TELL THEM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING THAT.

I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

IT'S FANTASTIC. YES.

MRS. OROSCO. DR.

WRIGHT, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE SHOULD BE HAPPY FOR.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT OUR STAFF WILL NOT BE HAVING MEETINGS.

[00:15:03]

SO CAN YOU JUST MENTION THAT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, HOW THEY WILL HAVE NO MEETINGS UNTIL NEXT YEAR? YES. STARTING ON FRIDAY AT LIKE 3:30 THIS WEEK, WE WE WILL NOT HAVE CAMPUS LEVEL MEETINGS AFTER SCHOOL OR BEFORE SCHOOL UNTIL WE GET BACK IN JANUARY.

AND SO JUST A WAY TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR TEACHERS SO THAT THEY CAN GET READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

AND SO FOR OUR PRINCIPALS, SOMETIMES THEY GET A LITTLE FRUSTRATED WITH ME WHEN I HAVE A MEETING MORATORIUM.

BUT I THINK THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE THE MEETINGS SCHEDULED IN THE DAY SO THAT THEY CAN STILL COMMUNICATE, WE CAN STILL OPERATE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE CAN JUST GIVE PEOPLE A LITTLE BREAK GOING INTO THE HOLIDAYS.

GREAT. ANYBODY ELSE OVER HERE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS, MR. VELA? ALL RIGHT.

SO, DR. WRIGHT, ON THE $7 MILLION THAT WE'RE NOT RECOVERING, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO LEGISLATIVELY OR IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED? IF YOU WANT TO JUST GIVE US SOME INSIGHT ON THAT, PLEASE.

YEAH. SO THE RAY OF HOPE THAT WE HAVE IS THAT IN ALMOST EVERY ORGANIZATION, THE PRIORITIES THEY'RE EITHER ASKING TO FUND ON ENROLLMENT OR TO INCREASE THE BASIC ALLOTMENT PER STUDENT.

AND SO EVEN IF THEY DON'T CHANGE GOING FROM THE ATTENDANCE BASED FUNDING, IF THEY RAISE THE BASIC ALLOTMENT, THAT SHOULD GIVE US MONEY TO FILL IN, FILL IN THE GAP.

AND IF THEY GO TO ENROLLMENT BASED, THAT WOULD BE THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS.

AND AND THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO FILL THAT GAP AS WELL.

BUT WE DO HAVE PLANS.

MR. RAU AND ALL OF THE BUDGET MANAGERS KNOW THAT, THAT WE'VE BASICALLY FROZEN 10% OF OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR TO ALSO HELP FILL IN THAT GAP AND WE'RE GOING TO BE REALLY STINGY WITH THAT 10%.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A PROVEN NEED IN ORDER JUST SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE A SUSTAINABLE DISTRICT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NEVER WANT TO TAKE OFF THE TABLE IS COST OF LIVING INCREASES FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

THAT'S THE WAY THAT YOU RECRUIT AND RETAIN PEOPLE.

AND PEOPLE ARE OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSETS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT THAT ON THE TABLE.

WE MAY NOT GET STUFF, BUT WE'LL WE'LL TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MRS. RUNKLE.

DR. WRIGHT, CAN YOU SHARE WITH THE BOARD WHAT WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS CAMPUS INITIATIVES ON ATTENDANCE? I KNOW THAT THE DISTRICT OR THE ADVISORY BOARD TALKED ABOUT IT.

YOU'VE TALKED WITH US ABOUT IT AND KIND OF WHERE WE ARE WITH EACH CAMPUS AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

SO EVERY EVERY CAMPUS IS DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT THEN WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THINGS THE SAME.

SO WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE THAT ARE CALLING.

WE'RE MAKING HOME VISITS.

WE HAVE SHORT TERM INCENTIVES FOR, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE ANYTHING FOR EXTRA RECESS TIME TO A PIZZA PARTY TO THEY MAY BE GIVING BICYCLES AWAY, YOU KNOW, FOR LONG TERM.

I MEAN, SO JUST A LOT OF INCENTIVES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH.

AND THEN DR.

DAWSON, WHO IS OUR DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES, IS IS WORKING WITH THE TEAM TO CREATE A MENTORING PROGRAM FOR KIDS THAT ARE ON THE BUBBLE FOR ATTENDANCE, TO GIVE THEM A PURPOSE FOR COMING TO SCHOOL SO THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY GET TO HELP MENTOR OTHERS.

AND THAT'S THAT'S BEEN KIND OF TRIED IN OTHER PLACES AND IT'S BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE ATTENDANCE SPECIALISTS THAT DEAL WITH OUR CHRONIC ABSENTEE, WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? ABSENTEEISM. THEY ARE SO TONGUE TIED ON THAT ONE.

SORRY. BUT ANYWAY, THEY'RE GOING AND MAKING CONTACT WITH WITH THEM.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING, TOO.

WHEN WE LOOK AT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THEY CHANGED THE LAWS SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE, WHICH MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

BUT THEY ALSO TOOK ALL THE TEETH OUT OF OUT OF WHAT WE USED TO COULD DO AS FAR AS TRUANCY LAWS.

AND SO THERE'S KIND OF A CONTRADICTION.

LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU HAVE TO ATTEND THE CLASS 90% OF THE TIME IN WHICH IT'S OFFERED IN ORDER TO GET CREDIT.

BUT THINK ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S 10% OF THE TIME THEY'RE AWAY THAT WE DON'T GET FUNDED AND KIDS LEARN WHAT THOSE THOSE RULES AND PARAMETERS ARE.

AND SO IT MAKES IT TOUGH TO CONVINCE SOME OF THEM TO COME TO SCHOOL IF THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET CREDIT.

IT DOESN'T DOESN'T HARM THEM, BUT IT HARMS THE DISTRICT.

AND AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LISTENING, I MEAN, WE IF A KID ONLY COMES 93% OF THE TIME, THE TEACHER STILL HAS TO BE THERE 100% OF THE TIME.

WE STILL HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON 100% OF THE TIME.

WE STILL HAVE HAVE ELECTRICITY AND WATER.

SO WE HAVE TO FUND AS IF EVERYONE IS HERE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY'LL GO WITH THE ENROLLMENT BASED.

[00:20:05]

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. I'M GLAD THAT WE GOT TO CELEBRATE.

MR. RICHARD LOZANO.

WHAT'S HIS RANK JERI? THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.

ARLO SORRY.

AND YES, THE BAND WAS WAS AWESOME IN INDIANAPOLIS.

I JUST FLEW IN THIS MORNING.

I'M A LITTLE TIRED FROM ALL THE SCREAMING AND YELLING AND EXCITEMENT.

AND JASON ADAM DID COME WITH US, WHICH WAS AWESOME.

AND I WAS GLAD TO SEE AND A LOT OF A LOT OF EXCITED PARENTS.

SO IT WAS A COOL THING FOR OUR DISTRICT, FIRST TIME IN OUR DISTRICT'S HISTORY TO PARTICIPATE IN GRAND NATIONALS IN INDIANAPOLIS.

IT WAS IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

OKAY.

NEXT UP ON OUR AGENDA IS OUR PUBLIC FORUM, MRS.

[I. PUBLIC FORUM ]

[J. CAMPUS RECOGNITION]

WE HAVE PRINCIPAL JAMES CRUZ AND OUR DEPUTY ACADEMIC OFFICER, DAVID PIERCE, HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

MAKE SURE THAT'S ON. WE HAVEN'T CHECKED IT YET.

THERE WE GO. GOOD EVENING, DR.

WRIGHT. PRESIDENT PETREA, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE MR. CRUZ AND SOME MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, BEING NEW TO THIS POSITION.

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO HAVE KNOWN MR. CRUZ FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.

HIS WIFE IS A TEACHER AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT UNTIL YOU WORK SOMEWHERE SIDE BY SIDE ALMOST EVERY DAY WITH SOMEONE, YOU REALLY GET TO FIGURE OUT THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

AND THERE ARE GREAT THINGS HAPPENING AT MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE SOME OF THAT WITH YOU TONIGHT.

DR. WRIGHT SAID A LITTLE WHILE AGO ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR.

I'M THANKFUL THAT WE'VE GOT GREAT PRINCIPALS IN OUR DISTRICT.

MR. CRUZ IS ONE, AND THAT HE'S BLESSED WITH A GREAT STAFF AND SEVERAL OF THEM ARE HERE TONIGHT.

SO DON'T WANT TO STEAL HIS THUNDER.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. JAMES CRUZ [APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. MR. PIERCE. DR.

WRIGHT, PRESIDENT PETREA, BOARD MEMBERS.

GOOD EVENING. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS JUST TO SHOWCASE OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL.

AND ONE THING WE WENT INTO THIS YEAR.

GOOD, BETTER, BEST.

I SAID THIS AT JOHNSON TO BEGIN THE YEAR WHEN JOHNSON DAHLSTROM GOT TOGETHER THERE AT JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'RE A GOOD SCHOOL.

WE'VE GOTTEN BETTER, BUT WE'RE STRIVING TO BE THE BEST EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND THOSE THREE WORDS HAVE STUCK WITH ME.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO DO A QUICK PRESENTATION HERE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AT MCCORMICK AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO START EVERY PRESENTATION WITH OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

THIS MISSTATEMENT IS VERY DEAR TO US.

IT WAS CREATED BY THE TEACHERS A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN I GOT TO MCCORMICK.

AND ONE THING I REALLY LIKE TO HANG OUR HAT ON IS THESE WORDS THAT ARE UNDERLINED AND BOLDED, BECAUSE WHEN WE INTERVIEW, THAT'S THE STUFF WE LOOK FOR.

DO THEY MATCH THIS? I KNOW I'M ON A TIME LIMIT, BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO READ IT.

MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A TEAM OF DEDICATED EDUCATORS THAT CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

WE WILL EMPOWER OUR STUDENTS TO BE RESPECTFUL AND ENGAGE LEARNERS, RESULTING IN A CULTURE THAT INSPIRES EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN THEIR SCHOOL BUT ALSO IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

AND I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THIS MISSION STATEMENT BECAUSE IT TIES INTO EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AT MCCORMICK.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS JUST BRIEF.

WE'RE GROWING. WE'RE GROWING VERY FAST.

I'M AFFIRMATIVE. BRING THE STUDENTS.

SEND THEM TO US. I THINK I SHARED WITH A COUPLE OF BOARD MEMBERS VERY BLESSED FOR THE BOND THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO GO TO GET THE EXPANSION OF MCCORMICK BECAUSE, BOY, WE CAN REALLY SEE IT NOW AND IT'S VERY MUCH NEEDED.

IT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, 1,051 STUDENTS, YOU SEE THE BREAKDOWN BY GRADE LEVEL.

KEEP THEM COMING. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S OUR MODEL THERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT OUR STATUS LOOKS LIKE AS FAR AS HOW MANY STUDENTS WE HAVE.

NEXT UP, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU A BRIEF TIMELINE OF WHEN I GOT TO MCCORMICK, WHAT WE TRIED TO DO, WHAT WE'RE DOING AND AND WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO MY FIRST YEAR, WE JUST WANTED TO ESTABLISH SCHOOLWIDE EXPECTATIONS, BUILD A COMMUNITY .

FOR THE STUDENTS AT MCCORMICK, MY VERY FIRST YEAR, I WAS THE THIRD PRINCIPAL IN THREE YEARS.

IT WAS VERY EVIDENT.

SOME OF THEM THEY WEREN'T TOO HAPPY AND MCCORMICK BUT THAT'S OKAY.

WE CHANGED THEIR MINDSET AND SO WE JUST WANTED TO JUST REALLY BUILD A COMMUNITY THERE.

AT MCCORMICK, OUR FIRST YEAR.

OUR SECOND YEAR, WE HAD SOME CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT.

WE HAD AN AWESOME TRAINING IN THE SUMMER WHERE WE IMPLEMENT OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PLAYBOOK.

WE HANG OUR HAT ON THAT.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN THE INSTRUCTIONAL PLAYBOOK.

WE BROUGHT TEAM MEETINGS, SOMETHING I DID AT A PREVIOUS DISTRICT WHERE WE HAD TEACHERS START SITTING DOWN IN A ROOM ONCE THE TWICE A WEEK AND TALK ABOUT KIDS.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT DATA LATER ON.

LET'S TALK ABOUT KIDS.

AND AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE A D RATED CAMPUS.

THE THIRD YEAR. THAT'S THE THIRD YEAR.

WHEN YOU COME PRINCIPAL, YOU ALWAYS SAY, HAND ME THREE YEARS, GIVE ME THREE YEARS.

I STILL HAVE COACH IN ME.

AND WE WERE HEADING THERE.

OUR FOCUS REALLY TURNED TO PLC.

THE TEAM MEETINGS GOT STRONGER.

WE GOT TO HAVE ONE YEAR UNDER US WHERE WE'RE HAVING VERY GOOD TEAM MEETINGS ABOUT STUDENTS.

[00:25:02]

FOURTH YEAR THERE.

IT WAS A VERY NEW WAY OF TEACHING GOES VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON.

AND IT WAS IT WAS A STRUGGLE WITH ATTENDANCE, PARTICIPATION, TURN YOUR CAMERA ON, PARTICIPATE AND SO FORTH.

SOMEBODY IN THIS ROOM SAID THAT WORD PIVOT.

AND THAT STUCK WITH ME BECAUSE YOU HAD TO PIVOT A LOT.

AND THE STAAR TEST WAS OPTIONAL, WHICH REALLY HURT US BECAUSE AGAIN, THERE WAS NO RATING AND I KNEW WE'RE AHEAD IN THE RIGHT WAY, BUT I JUST THE CARDS WE GOT DEALT WITH AND WE JUST DEALT WITH IT AND WE MOVED ON TO LAST YEAR AND LAST YEAR I PUT THERE, WE GOT IT DONE.

WE FOCUSED ABOUT EVERYBODY BACK TO TIER ONE INSTRUCTION PLC HAS BEEN THERE, BUT WE REALLY TARGETED MORE TOWARDS DATA JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE AND WE JUST HELD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE. SENSE OF URGENCY WAS SET A LOT.

MR. GOMES WAS DAR LAST YEAR AND HE CAME TO MY CAMPUS A LOT LAST YEAR AND ALWAYS SAID IT'S A SENSE OF URGENCY, SENSE OF URGENCY.

BUT IT'S TRUE TO THAT STATEMENT.

AS ADMINISTRATION, WE LISTENED AND SUPPORTED OUR TEACHERS IF THEY NEEDED IT.

WE DID OUR BEST TO GET IT FOR THEM AND SUPPORT THEM AND JUST BE PRESENT.

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

WE'RE COVERING CLASSES AS ADMINISTRATION INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES.

WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

WE WERE PRESENT. AND BECAUSE OF ALL THAT HARD WORK.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

WE WENT FROM A D RATED CAMPUS TO A B RATED CAMPUS AND THANK YOU [APPLAUSE].

AND PEOPLE ASKED ME, WHAT DID YOU DO? AND THANK YOU FOR THAT.

BUT IT'S THESE PEOPLE RIGHT BEHIND ME.

IT'S THE TEACHERS HERE THAT BOOTS ON THE GROUND, LIKE WE SAID, ARE IN THERE.

THEY'RE TEACHING THE PAST TWO YEARS.

THOSE TWO YEARS FROM 19 TO TO 22 WAS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT YEARS.

AND TO SEE US GO FROM A RATING OF A 68 TO 85 FOR A 17 POINT GROWTH, I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO OUR HIRING AND TO THESE TEACHERS BEHIND ME BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WE HAD THE PLAN, BUT THEY IMPLEMENTED THE PLAN.

SO I GIVE ALL THE KUDOS TO TO OUR TEACHERS AND STRUCTURAL COACHES PARAPROFESSIONALS, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WERE LIKE TO SAY, BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

SO KUDOS TO OUR TEACHERS FOR THAT.

AND WITH THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE TWO CAMPUS DISTINCTIONS WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.

WE'VE GOT TO GET OUR ATTENDANCE A LITTLE BIT UP BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE GOT A COUPLE OF MORE.

BUT THAT'S OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR IS TO GET THAT ATTENDANCE UP TO REACH A COUPLE OF MORE DISTINCTIONS THERE.

BUT WE'RE HEADING ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK, BUT IT PAYS OFF.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, AND THEN CONTINUE ON FOR THIS YEAR.

WE'RE CURRENTLY ON WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO CONTINUE THE SENSE OF URGENCY NOW WE'RE FOCUSED.

THAT MEETS AND MASTERY LEVEL.

IT'S NOT ABOUT PASSING A STAAR TEST AT MCCORMICK ANYMORE, AND NOW IT'S MEETS AND MASTERY LEVEL FOCUS REACHING ALL STUDENTS.

OUR PLCS WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT DATA, WE'RE STILL MEETING.

BUT NOW LET'S REALLY TALK MORE ABOUT STUDENT PRODUCTS.

SHOW US WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE DOING.

UTILIZING OUR INTERVENTION TIME, WHICH IS THE END OF THE DAY, OUR RAW TIME THAT WE CALL IT.

AND AGAIN, JUST CONTINUE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY TO HOLD TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR BEHAVIOR.

ACADEMICS MAKE SURE TEACHERS ARE PLANNING OUR CORRECTLY, BUT JUST HOLDING EVERYBODY ACCOUNTABLE AND TEACHERS HOLDING ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL.

AND THEN THAT LAST ONE, LIKE ALWAYS LISTEN, SUPPORT, BE PRESENT.

AND SO THOSE THINGS RIGHT THERE THAT WE CONTINUE DOING WITH MY GREAT STAFF, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THE GREAT THINGS AT MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

JUST A QUICK CELEBRATION WE'RE ABLE TO DO SO FAR THIS YEAR.

WE'RE ABLE TO BRING BACK OUR DIA DE LOS MUERTOS CELEBRATION.

I KNOW MRS. OROSCO WAS ABLE TO JOIN US FOR THAT ONE.

IT WAS NICE BRINGING IT BACK.

IT WAS REALLY GREAT NIGHT THAT NIGHT BROUGHT OUR TIGER CLUBS.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS BACK. OUR BAND ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE BEEN GOING STRONG.

SPORTS ARE GOING GREAT, WHICH IS NICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING BACK.

WE HAD A REALLY GOOD VETERANS DAY PROGRAM THIS PAST FRIDAY WAS NICE.

[INAUDIBLE] I KNOW MISS RUNKLE WAS THERE.

AND THEN OUR THEATER, WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THIS THURSDAY, WE'RE BRINGING THE ELEMENTARIES TO MCCORMICK, THE FIFTH GRADERS, TO WATCH OUR THEATER ONE ACT PLAY.

THAT'S THEIR FIRST KIND OF DRY RUN THERE WITH A THEATER CAN PERFORM IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE.

AND IT'S COOL SEEING THE FIFTH GRADERS TO SEE MCCORMICK.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE COMING TO AND TO SEE OUR THEATER PUT ON A SHOW.

SO WE'RE EXCITED FOR THIS THURSDAY TO HAVE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO I'M GOING TO BRING UP MS. TULLY. MS. TULLY IS ONE OF MY MATH TEACHERS AT MCCORMICK.

SHE'S ALSO MY ONE OF MY TEAM LEADERS.

AND SHE ALSO IS THE LEADER OF OUR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TEAM.

AND SHE'S GOING TO QUICKLY TALK TO YOU ABOUT RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE PRACTICING THAT WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING AT MCCORMICK, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR HER TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AT MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL. THANK YOU, MR. CRUZ. SO AS YOU SAID, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] TULLY, I'M A SIXTH GRADE MATH TEACHER AND TEAM LEADER, AND I AM THE LEADER FOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PRACTICES.

WHAT IT IS, IS WE USE IT IN SCHOOLS TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS.

IT'S ABOUT GOING FROM A PROACTIVE APPROACH INSTEAD OF A REACTIVE APPROACH.

AND IT'S FOCUSING ON STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS AND THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STUDENTS, TEACHERS, ALL FACULTY AND STAFF.

OUR GOALS ARE TO BUILD THOSE BETTER RELATIONSHIPS, TO KEEP STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE AND COMFORTABLE, TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES IN THAT GOOD, POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND OVERALL THAT SENSE OF SAFETY SO THEY CAN REALLY CHALLENGE THEMSELVES TO ACHIEVE ALL THEY CAN.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO OUR GOAL, LIKE I SAID, IS TO BUILD A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS AND STAFF ALL FEEL RESPECTED, MOTIVATED, ENGAGED AND TRULY EMPOWERED TO

[00:30:09]

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

WE ARE A TEAM MADE UP OF TEACHERS FOR TEACHERS.

AS I SAID, MY NAME IS MELISSA TULLY.

WE HAVE MS. PETERMAN, WHO TEACHES EIGHTH GRADE ENGLISH.

WE HAVE SARAH KELLY, WHO DOES SIXTH AND EIGHTH GRADE ART.

WE HAVE MS. MENSING RIGHT HERE, WHO IS SEVENTH GRADE MATH AND SEVENTH GRADE SO TEAM LEADER.

AND WE HAVE MS. CARTER HERE AS WELL, WHO DOES SIX AND SEVEN SPECIAL EDUCATION AND INCLUSION WITH A FOCUS ON ENGLISH.

SO WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF TEACHERS IN DIFFERENT SUBJECTS AND DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS TO REALLY BUILD A COHESIVE TEAM FOR OUR FACULTY.

WE PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR STAFF THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AT THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END, WITH PDS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS, SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT.

WE HOST OR WE LEAD REINTEGRATION RESTORATIVE CIRCLES, WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT IN JUST A MOMENT.

AND AGAIN, WE ARE A TEAM OF TEACHERS FOR THE TEACHERS SO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING ABLE TO COME TO ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS FOR CONCERNS FOR IDEAS ON HOW TO HELP WITH ISSUES AND OTHER THINGS IN THE CLASSROOM.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO FIRST WE HAVE REINTEGRATION CIRCLES.

THIS IS FOR ANY STUDENT RETURNING BACK TO MCCORMICK MIDDLE MIDDLE SCHOOL FROM AN EXTENDED LEAVE MAINLY IMPACT OR IF THERE IS AN EXTENDED ISS PLACEMENT, WHICH WE HAVE NOT HAD THIS YEAR. IT INVOLVES THE STUDENT TEACHERS, PARENT AND ADMINISTRATION.

AND REALLY THE GOAL IS JUST TO MAKE THE STUDENTS RE ENTRY BACK INTO BACK INTO MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE.

WE DEVELOP A PLAN TO HELP THEM.

THEY'VE BEEN GONE FOR A WHILE.

THE FIRST TIME THEY SEE US, WE WANT THEM TO SAY TO HERE, LIKE, HEY, WE CARE.

YOUR TEACHERS ARE HERE FOR YOU, YOUR ADMINS HERE FOR YOU.

WELCOME HOME. WE MISSED YOU.

SO THOSE ARE OUR RESTORATIVE OR REINTEGRATION CIRCLES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND THE OTHER TYPE OF CIRCLE THAT WE USE, MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE CALLED RESTORATIVE CIRCLES.

THESE ARE TWO ADDRESS TO ADDRESS AN INCIDENT AND DEVELOP A PLAN FOR MUTUAL RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING AMONGST ALL PARTIES.

SO WE HAVE THESE WHEN THERE'S BEEN AN INCIDENT OR WE NEED TO ADDRESS A CONCERN, WE HAVE THEM STUDENT TO STUDENT, WHICH IS USUALLY AFTER A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION OR CONTINUED DISAGREEMENTS. WE HOST THEM WITH STUDENT TO TEACHER, AND THAT'S IF THERE IS A CONFLICT OR A CONTINUED DISCIPLINE ISSUE IN THE CLASSROOM WHERE WE CAN MEET, SIT DOWN, TALK AND REALLY REBUILD THAT TRUST AND RELATIONSHIP AMONGST THEM SO WE CAN HAVE THE STUDENT AND THE TEACHER FEEL SAFE AND EMPOWERED TO BE HAPPY AND LEARNING IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.

AND THEN WE ALSO HOST TEACHER TO CLASS.

AND THOSE ARE WHERE WE REBUILD A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT OF TRUST, UNDERSTANDING AND COMMUNITY.

SO THOSE ARE OUR RESTORATIVE CIRCLES THAT WE HAVE AT MCCORMICK.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD THAT MR. CRUZ HAS ALLOWED US TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS.

REALLY, IT'S BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS, KEEPING THE KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM AND LETTING THEM FEEL SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THANK YOU, MR. CRUZ.

SO JUST TO IN THAT PART ONE THING, YOU SEE, IF A TEACHER COMES TO YOU AS ADMINISTRATION, I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS CLASS.

I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS STUDENT TO GO TO RESTORATIVE CIRCLE AND JUST SIT DOWN IN A ROOM WITH THE RESTORATIVE TEAM.

ADMIN DOESN'T NEED TO BE THERE.

AND JUST TO HAVE THE TEACHER, STUDENT AND ONE OF THE RESTORATIVE MEMBERS AND TALK IT OUT.

WHAT IS THIS PERSON DOING THAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING THAT YOU DON'T LIKE? AND SAME THING FOR THE OTHER PARTY.

AND JUST TO HAVE THAT PLATFORM, JUST TO BE SAFE, TO TALK ABOUT IT AND COME UP WITH AN UNDERSTANDING.

AND AGAIN, WHETHER THAT'S STUDENTS TO STUDENT, STUDENT TO TEACHER, VERY RARELY TEACHER TO TEACHER IF THERE'S A DISAGREEMENT.

BUT JUST HAVING THAT PLATFORM OF A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE NO ONE'S BEING JUDGED, LET'S TALK THIS OUT AND HOW CAN WE JUST BUILD THAT BETTER COMMUNITY? SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT OUR GOAL ALSO IS, YOU KNOW, TO CUT DOWN ON REFERRALS.

AND LIKE MS. TULLY SAID, KEEP KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND SO THAT'S OUR PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE'VE IMPROVED AT MCCORMICK, WHAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO DO, AND WE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. MR. CRUZ.

THAT'S AWESOME [APPLAUSE]. AND KNOW WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO GET A PICTURE, RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. MRS. RUNKLE, I'LL START OVER HERE.

I WILL START. I AM A PROUD MCCORMICK TIGER PARENT, SO I AM VERY EXCITED.

I WAS VERY EXCITED TO SEE YOU GUYS ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE VETERANS DAY PROGRAM.

AS MR. CRUZ MENTIONED, I ATTENDED THIS PAST FRIDAY.

I ATTENDED LAST YEAR, TOO.

IT IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM.

IT IS. ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT AND I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY EVERY TIME I MET YOUR CAMPUS ON THAT DAY.

SO GREAT JOB TO YOU GUYS FOR HONORING OUR VETERANS.

BUT ALSO MRS. COTTRELL FOR I'M SORRY, I'M TOTALLY MESSING UP HER NAME.

YES, BUT FOR WHAT SHE DID, SHE DOES AN AMAZING JOB.

BUT ALSO THE TIGER CLUB.

I HAVE ATTENDED YOUR TIGER CLUB.

I WANT YOU TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE HEAR WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM.

[00:35:04]

I WAS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. YOU GET SOMETIMES BOGGED DOWN ON DISCIPLINE ALL THE TIME.

YOU'RE TRYING TO FIX EVERYTHING.

AND SOMETIMES THE KIDS THAT DO THE RIGHT THING TO DO THE RIGHT THING KIND OF GET FORGOTTEN.

SO SHE BROUGHT AND SOMETIMES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS LIKE, OKAY, IS IT YOU KNOW, DO THEY ARE THEY GOING TO LIKE THE STUDENT OF THE MONTH? WE BROUGHT THAT BACK.

AND SO THE TIGER CLUB IS AGAIN, IT'S A GROUP OF STUDENTS THAT ARE SELECTED BY THE TEACHERS.

TEACHERS SIT IN THOSE TEAM MEETINGS THAT I TALKED ABOUT AND THEY TALK ABOUT KIDS, HEY, THIS KID IS DOING GREAT.

AND HERE'S WHY THEY'RE HELPFUL WITH OTHER KIDS IN CLASS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS IN CLASS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS DOING THE WORK OR SO FORTH.

SO KIDS GET NOMINATED, THE TEACHERS VOTE ON THEM, SUBMIT THE NAMES TO THE TO THE ADMIN.

WE PICK FOUR SIXTH GRADERS, FOUR SEVENTH GRADERS, FOUR EIGHTH GRADERS EVERY MONTH.

AND THEN WE DO A CEREMONY WITH THE PARENTS.

WHAT'S REALLY COOL, AS I PERSONALLY CALL THE PARENTS AND LITERALLY SAY IT IS A SECRET.

DO NOT SAY ANYTHING.

I'VE LEARNED THROUGH THE YEARS IF I DO A TEXT MESSAGE, MAKE SURE YOU START OUT THIS IS A SECRET.

IF I CALL IN THE ANSWER AND THE KID IS LIKE, WHY MR. CRUZ CALLED AND THEY KIND OF GET FREAKED OUT A LITTLE BIT.

SO I'VE LEARNED HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PARENTS.

BUT WE DO A PRESENTATION, A CEREMONY THERE IN THE LIBRARY, AND IT'S IT'S REALLY NICE JUST TO PRESENT TO THE KIDS.

AND WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THEY GET, WHAT PERKS YOU GET, FREE TO THE DANCE, FIELD TRIP END OF THE YEAR AND THE BIGGEST THING IS GET PICK A FRIEND AND THEY GET TO HAVE SPECIAL SEATING AT LUNCH WITH THEIR FRIEND.

BUT IT'S JUST A GREAT WAY TO RECOGNIZE STUDENTS.

SOMETIMES IT GETS LOST IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT, HEY, THEY'RE TOO COOL FOR THAT RECOGNITION.

YOU'RE NEVER TOO COOL FOR THAT.

AND I ALWAYS SAY THIS IN THE TIGER CLUB CEREMONY IN MAY, WHEN WE TAKE THAT FIELD TRIP AND WE MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, ALL TIGER CLUB, COME FOR THE FIELD TRIP.

ALL THOSE KIDS WHO ARE TOO COOL TO BE IN THE FIELD, TO BE TO BE IN THE TIGER CLUB BOY, THEY SURE ARE WISHING THEY'RE IN THE TIGER CLUB COME MAY.

AND IT'S JUST NICE JUST TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE JUST STUDENT RECOGNITION.

AND I ALWAYS SAY YOU DO THE RIGHT THING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

AND IT'S NICE HAVING THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY ATTEND THOSE EVENTS.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF AT MCCORMICK, AND WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO KEEP GOING WITH THE TIGER CLUB.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE HE MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY AWESOME THING.

ALSO, THE CELL PHONE POLICY.

BECAUSE OF YOUR CELL PHONE POLICY, IT WAS SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND IT IS A GREAT POLICY.

SO KUDOS TO YOUR CAMPUS FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH HANDLING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY SECOND NATURE TO MCCORMICK WHEN IT CAME FORWARD WITH A WITH THE CELL PHONE POLICY.

SO COULD US YOU GUYS FOR THAT ALSO I THE D RATING TO B.

AMAZING I FULLY EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE TO RISE WE KNOW IT WILL.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.

I'M SO INCREDIBLY PROUD TO SEE THE LIBRARY.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I.

YOU GET TO GO IN THERE.

WE JUST HAD A PTA MEETING IN THERE NOT TOO LONG AGO AND IT WAS FULL OF PARENTS.

SO THAT WAS GREAT.

LAST THING I JUST WANT TO SAY IS I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE THEATER PROGRAM THIS WEEK.

SO AND THE ONES THAT YOU HAVE ON THE SCHEDULE AS WELL.

JUST GREAT JOB MCCORMICK.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AND DOING ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT YOU DO WITH OUR KIDS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

YOU ALL ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MR. VELA YOU HAVE A QUESTION? MR. CRUZ AND TEAM.

GREAT JOB. I'M ACTUALLY JUST MEMORY LANE.

MY VERY FIRST OR SECOND BOARD MEETING WAS AN INTRODUCTION TO MCCORMICK AND NOT KNOWING WHAT A CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING HONEST. BUT BUT, BUT SEEING, YOU KNOW, JUST THAT PROGRESSION.

SO GREAT JOB. I MEAN, THAT IS EXCITING.

AND IT WAS DONE DURING SOME OF THE MOST TRYING, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL YEARS.

SO JUST TO HAVE THAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.

GREAT JOB, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.

HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN DOING THAT PROGRAM AT MCCORMICK? IT WAS STARTED THREE YEARS, FOUR? OKAY. THE BIGGEST PIECE IS NOT JUST THROWING EVERYTHING AT ONCE.

AND NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW THE ONES WE'VE BEEN AT MCCORMICK, THE OF THE YEAR WHEN MS. TULLY WAS SAYING IN AUGUST, WE DO IT, WE JUST WE GET CERTAIN DAYS TO WORK WITH OUR STAFF.

WE DEVOTE A HALF A DAY TO THE STAFF TO SAY, OKAY, IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE, YOU GO TO THIS SESSION AND MAY GO A LITTLE FASTER, MORE OF A RETOOLING.

HEY, WHAT YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW IF YOU'RE BRAND NEW TO MCCORMICK.

NEVER HEARD OF IT. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND REALLY GO THROUGH THE WHY AND THE PROCESS AND WHY WE'RE DOING IT SO ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW.

OKAY, GOOD. SO IT'S BEEN A PROGRESSION AND THAT'S GOOD.

AND THEN I KNOW THAT THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE REFERRALS.

I MEAN, SO DO YOU HAVE ANY DATA? IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY, THAT'S OKAY. I KNOW I'M NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT RIGHT NOW WE DON'T ARE KIND OF SOMETHING WE EVALUATE LIKE MIDYEAR AND DEFINITELY END OF THE YEAR JUST TO SEE THAT THAT DECREASE.

ON JUST KEEPING THE KIDS IN CLASS.

OKAY. AND THE OTHER THING I'LL JUST SAY REAL BRIEFLY, WE KEEP TRACK ON HOW MANY RESTORATIVE CIRCLES WE DO, HOW MANY REINTEGRATION CIRCLES WE DO JUST TO KIND OF SEE ON WHAT THAT'S LOOKING LIKE AND REALLY SEE THE SUCCESS OF IT.

THEY SEE THOSE KIDS ARE HAVING CONFLICT WITH THE REST OF THE YEAR, NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT SAME PERSON OR THEY'VE LEARNED THROUGH THAT MEETING.

IF YOU GET IN A SITUATION WITH ANOTHER STUDENT, REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD THAT REINTEGRATION, WHEN THE RESTORATIVE CIRCLE ON THINGS YOU COULD DO TO AVOID CONFLICT.

[00:40:07]

GREAT JOB, MCCORMACK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MR. MR. MCMANUS.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THE D TO B STORY I THINK IS FANTASTIC.

AND AND MR. CRUZ, JAMES, YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER THIS, BUT I THINK WE WERE ON A COMMITTEE TOGETHER EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE.

YOU WORKED FOR A DISTRICT WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT AT THE TIME.

SO. RIGHT.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE FIRST MET.

AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY, FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT, I'VE WATCHED YOU GROW AS A LEADER, AND I THINK THAT IT'S GREAT THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR STAFF CREDIT.

THEY DESERVE ALL OF THAT, BUT YOU DO AS WELL.

AND I THINK THAT IT STARTS AT THE TOP.

AND YOU'VE SAID AN AMAZING TONE FOR THAT CAMPUS.

AND SO I THINK THE D TO B STORY IS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN.

I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE THAT THOSE TEACHERS THERE WITH YOU EVERY DAY DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

BUT I KNOW YOU SET THE RIGHT TONE FOR THAT CAMPUS.

AND PERSONALLY, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING STORY AT MCCORMICK AND SOMETHING ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT, MRS. OROSCO. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT COMMITTEE, MR. CRUZ. I'M SO GLAD THAT I RECRUITED HIM FROM THAT DISTRICT WE WILL NOT NAME, BUT SO GREAT.

I KNEW HE WOULD BE A PERFECT FIT IN HAYS CISD AND GREAT WORK HAPPENING.

AND WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GO TO TIGER CLUB AND WITNESS, YOU KNOW, THE THE PRIDE THAT THE PARENTS HAVE, NOT ONLY THE STUDENTS, BUT ALSO THE PARENTS.

AND BEING CALLED FOR THAT REASON.

RIGHT. A POSITIVE REASON.

SO THAT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS IS THE REINTEGRATION CIRCLE AND ALL YOUR WORK WITH RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE IMPACT CENTER USES YOU ALL AS A MODEL BECAUSE YOU ALL DO IT SO WELL.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S MOST IMPRESSIVE IS THAT YOU ARE IMPLEMENTING THIS AND REALLY TAKE IT TO HEART.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER OF OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO LOOK AT, AND I KNOW WHEN IMPACT CAME AND PRESENTED, I SAID, OH, SURE, YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE THEY CAN GO SEE HOW MCCORMICK DOES IT, BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE TO SET FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

WE APPRECIATE IT. AND I LOVE ATTENDING ALL YOUR EVENTS.

WE WERE JUST THERE LAST WEEK, RIGHT? MR. SEVERANCE THANK YOU, JAMES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

MR. SEVERANCE.

YEAH. I ALSO THINK I JUST WANT TO SAY, I MEAN, I GOT TO MEET MR. CRUZ. I MEAN, RIGHT WHEN YOU CAME ON IN A SOCIAL SITUATION, I WON'T MENTION WHERE, BUT BUT I'M JUST SAYING LIKE, BUT THEN, BUT THEN I GOT INTO BUT THEN I GOT IN MORE INVOLVED IN THE DISTRICT AND THEN I GOT TO INTERACT WITH MR. CRUZ OVER. AND I JUST I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME THAT I MET HIM AND HE MADE ENOUGH OF AN IMPRESSION ON ME OUTSIDE OF A WORK SITUATION WHERE I WAS LIKE, OKAY, AND NOW HERE YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, DOING GREAT THINGS ON YOUR CAMPUS.

SO I DO BELIEVE THAT CONTINUITY IS IMPORTANT, AND I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT'S PRETTY SPECTACULAR, ESPECIALLY WITH RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. I MEAN, KEEPING KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM ON CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO ADULTS, NOT, YOU KNOW, POLICE OFFICERS OR WHATEVER.

BUT KEEPING IT MORE, I THINK, IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO FEEL SAFE.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND YES, MR. OROSCO, WE WENT TO THE TIGER CLUB MEETING AND TO SEE THOSE KIDS SMILE, I MEAN, EVERYONE LIKES TO BE TOLD THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB, EVEN KIDS, RIGHT? I MEAN, SOMETIMES WE DON'T MAYBE DON'T TELL THEM ENOUGH.

I MEAN, ADULTS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT, BUT I MEAN, EVEN WITH KIDS THAT KIND OF FEEL A SENSE OF PRIDE.

SO. NICE JOB.

GREAT JOB, TEAM.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ENJOY WHAT YOU DO OR YOU WOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT, GUYS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE. DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. YES.

I JUST SIMPLY WANT TO SAY IT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOU SAY STUDENTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR YOUR STUDENTS, BECAUSE I NOTED SEVERAL TIMES ALL STUDENTS.

SO THAT'S YOU GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STUDENTS, YOUR FACULTY GETTING TO KNOW THEM VERY FAMILIAR WITH RESTORATIVE CIRCLES.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT STUDENT TO TEACHER ALSO AND THE TEACHER AND CLASSROOM.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING.

SINCERELY APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR. YES.

I WANT TO JUST CONCUR WITH THE OUR FELLOW TRUSTEES HERE.

I'M A BIG FAN OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE CIRCLES.

I KNOW WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AT IMPACT.

I ACTUALLY DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WERE DOING THAT AT MCCORMICK, AND I'M EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT, BUT I AM SO PUMPED ABOUT IT.

THERE ARE OTHER PRINCIPALS THAT I THINK REALLY WANT TO DO THIS AS WELL.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION IS NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH.

THEY ARE TAUGHT, AND EVEN AS ADULTS, I THINK IT'S HARD TO KNOW HOW TO EFFECTIVELY RESOLVE CONFLICT.

MR. VELA AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF MENTORING STUDENTS AT IMPACT MANY YEARS AGO.

AND, YOU KNOW, TO SEE KIND OF WHAT WHAT BRINGS STUDENTS THERE AND THEN THE STRUGGLE OF ASSIMILATING BACK INTO THE CAMPUSES.

SO, I MEAN, I GOT TO WHERE I WAS MENTORING THEM BACK INTO THE CAMPUSES BECAUSE THAT THAT WHOLE WASN'T HAPPENING.

SO TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE DOING THAT AND INTEGRATING THOSE STUDENTS BACK IS AMAZING.

[00:45:01]

AND IT'S IT'S AWESOME TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE DOING THAT.

I ALSO DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU WERE DOING THAT.

SO THANK YOU.

AND I WANT TO SAY YOU WERE PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR LAST YEAR.

WELL DESERVED.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE KNEW YOU WERE A BIG CAMPUS WHEN WE GAVE YOU THAT.

MAYBE WE DID. MAYBE WE DID.

I DON'T KNOW. BUT YOU TOTALLY DESERVED IT.

NO, WE DID IT. NO, WE DIDN'T.

I DON'T THINK WE DID. AND YOU HAVE SET THE STANDARD FOR THE CELL PHONE POLICY BECAUSE WE HEAR AROUND THE CAMPUS LIKE, WE CAN'T DO THIS.

THIS IS TOO HARD. I'M LIKE, WELL, MCCORMICK'S BEEN DOING IT, SO YOU NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT.

AND THEY'RE LIKE, REALLY? YES. SO THANK YOU FOR SETTING THE STANDARD FOR THAT.

I KNOW THAT WE'VE WE'VE HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE POLICIES THAT YOU'VE SET AND THE STANDARD AND THE JUST THE LEADERSHIP TONE THAT YOU SET IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM US? OH, MAN, HOW MUCH MORE TIME I HAVE? HOW MUCH MORE TIME I HAVE? NO, JUST THE CONTINUED SUPPORT, GUYS.

I MEAN, [INAUDIBLE] I GOT MY LIST.

NO JUST CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM BOARD, FROM CNI DOES A GREAT JOB.

EVERYBODY HR ANYTHING FELT LIKE I'VE NEEDED I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET SO JUST CONTINUE FEEDBACK AND YEAH, BUT NO, I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY'S DOING FOR US.

OKAY. IT'S BEEN A VERY HARD FEW YEARS, BUT WE'RE DOING GREAT.

AND AGAIN, IT'S A TRIBUTE TO EVERYONE.

BUT THANK YOU. YEAH.

MR. MCMANUS IS RIGHT. IT'S GREAT TO JUST WATCH YOU GROW.

I WAS KIND OF HERE WHEN THERE.

WHEN THERE WAS SOME OTHER PRINCIPALS AND LEADERS.

AND IMAGINE THAT SCHOOL, OVER 1,000 KIDS NOT HAVING A LEADER OF CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY.

I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT MCCORMICK WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU HADN'T COME AND SORT OF TAKEN THE REINS AND DONE THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND THANK YOU TO YOUR STAFF AND YOUR EDUCATORS, YOUR PARAPROFESSIONALS, EVERYONE IN THE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

AND GO RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.

I WANT THIS TO SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE ACROSS OUR DISTRICT.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GUYS.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE.

[00:50:01]

THANK YOU, MCCORMICK.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT AND OUR CHIEF OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION.

[K. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT]

TEAM BEFORE WE START THIS ONE, YOU DO HAVE A NEW PRESENTATION IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER.

I THINK DR. WRIGHT IS HOLDING IT UP.

YES, THAT ONE.

IT JUST HAS SCIENCE HAS BEEN ADDED, SO IT'S NOT NOT TERRIBLY DIFFERENT.

BUT A LITTLE BIT. MRS. SEDOILLO TAKE IT AWAY . THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

BOARD PRESIDENT PETREA AND DR.

WRIGHT. THIS EVENING, WE HAVE KEVIN MALANDRUCCOLO, OUR DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENT, AND DR.

MICHAEL WATSON, WHO IS GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR FIRST CBA RESULTS AND OUR 2021 CCMR. SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO MR. MALANDRUCCOLO. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT PETREA.

DR. WRIGHT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TONIGHT, WE WANT TO PROVIDE A QUICK SUMMARY ON OUR CBA ONE STUDENT PERFORMANCE DATA AS WELL AS AN OVERVIEW OF OUR FINAL CCMR DATA FOR THE CLASS OF 2021.

GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

WE'VE INCLUDED THIS SLIDE THE PREVIOUS FEW YEARS JUST TO SHOW HOW WE CALCULATE [INAUDIBLE] ONE NUMBER AND WHAT THAT NUMBER MEANS OVERALL.

THE BOTTOM LINE FOR HOW TO FIX THIS ONE NUMBER IS TO PUSH MORE KIDS TO MEETS AND MASTERS.

WE ALSO WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT A-F IS CHANGING AND TEA IS NOW SAYING THAT WE'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE NEW CUT POINTS ARE GOING TO BE.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES AN A WHAT MAKES A B.

THEY'RE SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE THOSE NEW CUT POINTS BY JANUARY 1ST.

ALSO POINTING OUT THAT THEY'VE BEEN LATE ON EVERY DEADLINE THAT THEY'VE SET SO FAR.

SO WE FINGERS CROSSED FOR THAT.

THIS REMINDER, JUST REMINDER THAT A-F IS BEING UPDATED AND STAAR IS ALSO BEING UPDATED.

OH, SORRY. THAT WAS FOR THAT ONE. NEXT SLIDE.

SORRY. SO THIS IS A-F IS BEING UPDATED, BUT STAAR IS ALSO BEING UPDATED FOR WHAT THEY'RE CALLING STAAR 2.0.

FOR OUR FIRST ROUND OF CBAS, WE'RE SEEING THAT MANY OF THESE NEW ITEM TYPES ARE ACTUALLY HELPING KIDDOS IN MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES.

IT'S BECAUSE THE TEST IS CHANGING TO BE MUCH CLOSER TO WHAT TO HOW EFFECTIVE TEACHERS ARE ALREADY TEACHING.

SO OVERALL, WE'RE SEEING SUBJECTS IN THOSE AREAS.

FOR CBA ONES, [INAUDIBLE] IS SEEING THE BIGGEST CHANGE BECAUSE FOR OUR CBAS WE ARE NOW COMBINING THE READING AND WRITING INTO ONE TEST WHERE IN PREVIOUS YEARS WE WERE JUST DOING READING TEKS.

IF YOU REMEMBER READING STAAR LAST YEAR SAW A TREMENDOUS GROWTH.

SO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP PROMOTING WRITING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM TO KEEP THAT READING SCORES GOING, OR [INAUDIBLE] SCORES GOING SINCE IT IS ALL COMBINED. IT'S ALSO WORTH REMINDING THAT TEA IS NOT GOING TO SET THE PERFORMANCE LEVELS FOR WHAT MEANS APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER.

THAT'S WELL AFTER THE KIDS COMPLETE THE TEST THIS SPRING.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

BASICALLY ON THAT ONE WRITING IS GOING TO BE KEY TO OUR SCORES THIS SPRING.

FOR THIS ONE NOW WE HAVE OUR ELEMENTARY CBA ONE DATA.

SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR OF COMBINING THE NEW STAAR 2.0 ITEMS AND COMBINING THE READING AND WRITING FOR [INAUDIBLE] TEST, WE REALLY NEED TO SEE THAT CBA TWO DATA BEFORE WE CAN START MAKING THESE COMPARISONS.

THIRD GRADE MATH WAS ALSO INTERESTING ON THIS ONE.

FOR MANY OF OUR THIRD GRADERS, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME TO TAKE AN ONLINE ASSESSMENT.

SO WE'RE REALLY HOPING TO SEE SOME GROWTH BETWEEN THIS ASSESSMENT AND THE CBA TWO DATA THAT THAT WINDOW OPENS VERY SHORTLY.

NEXT SLIDE.

MIDDLE SCHOOL DATA IS FAIRLY SIMILAR WHEN MATH IS A BIT HIGHER AND OUR [INAUDIBLE] STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT AS WE COMBINE THOSE TO MAKE THAT THE NEW CBAS. IT'S NOT ON THE SLIDE, BUT WE'D ALSO LIKE TO SHARE THAT 43% OF OUR SIXTH GRADERS ARE IN ADVANCED MATH.

THAT'S A 10% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR.

SO THAT'S AN EXTRA 177 STUDENTS.

THE BIGGEST INCREASES WERE SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THEY WERE UP 15%.

WALLACE UP 14 AND DAHLSTROM UP 11%.

NEXT SLIDE.

FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'VE BEEN COMBINING THE READING AND WRITING INTO ONE CBA FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, SO WE DIDN'T SEE THAT HUGE DIP.

OH, SORRY. THE NEXT SLIDE.

[00:55:01]

THAT'S THE HIGH SCHOOL.

WE DIDN'T SEE THE DIP AS BIG OF A DIP FOR ENGLISH ONE AND ENGLISH TWO, BECAUSE WE'VE COMBINING THOSE ON THE ON THE CBAS, THE OTHER SUBJECTS ARE DOING DOING QUITE WELL.

WE HAVE THAT REMINDER THERE THAT LEHMAN IS USING THAT AGILE MIND CURRICULUM CURRICULUM.

SO WE WON'T GET A GOOD DATA POINT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL UNTIL WE TAKE THE STATE INTERIM AND BENCHMARKED BENCHMARK LATER IN THE SPRING.

AND THEN THE NEXT THREE SLIDES ARE WE'RE PROVIDING THIS FIVE YEAR COMPARISON JUST WE'VE BEEN DOING WE'VE BEEN SHARING THIS DATA FOR A LONG TIME.

IT'S NOT A GOOD COMPARISON BECAUSE OF THE NEW ITEM TYPES THAT WE'RE ADDING ON TO OUR CBAS.

BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE MORE AS WE ADD THE CBA TWO DATA IN THE COMING MONTHS.

AND AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DR.

WATSON TO TALK ABOUT CCMR, AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT PETREA.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DR.

WRIGHT AS PART OF THE CCMR UPDATE.

THIS ONE'S ALWAYS KIND OF A TRICKY UPDATE TO GIVE BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DATA FROM OUR 2021 GRADUATES.

SO THIS IS QUITE A WAYS IN THE REAR THAT WAS COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, AND I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE TROUGH OF WHERE WE'RE AT FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS GRADUATING WITH A EARNING COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

ALONG WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE TEA IS ALSO UPDATING PARTS OF CCMR. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES OF THE GAME ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT NOW.

WE DO KNOW THAT THE M IS BACK, SO WE WE'LL BE ALL ACCOUNTS OF MILITARY READINESS IN THERE AND THAT DOES GIVE US A SLIGHT BUMP OF A COUPLE OF PERCENTAGE POINTS HERE AND THERE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE, BUT WE'LL TAKE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN GET.

SO YOU CAN SEE OUR 2022 ACCOUNTABILITY.

WE HAD 52% OF OUR SENIORS GRADUATE CCMR, WHICH IS ONCE AGAIN OUR 2021 GRADUATES.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING NOW TO GET THOSE NUMBERS UP.

WE'RE PROJECTED PROBABLY TO HAVE AROUND 58% OF OUR 2022 GRADUATES, CCMR, AND WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO EXCEED THOSE NUMBERS BY QUITE A BIT THIS YEAR.

WE'VE ALREADY STARTED OUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR WITH THE COHORT CURRENT 2023 COHORT 10 PERCENTAGE POINTS HIGHER THAN THE 2022 COHORT. SO I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO MAKE SOME TRACTION THERE.

IT'S JUST GOING TO REALLY COME DOWN TO WHAT THE RULES OF THE GAME ARE.

AND THEN THE LAST SLIDES REALLY JUST KIND OF BREAK DOWN THE PERCENTAGES OF HOW EACH OF THE STUDENTS OR THE STUDENT GROUPS MET CCMR IN 2022.

AND YOU CAN SHOW THEM THE LAST SLIDE AS WELL.

AND THAT'S GOING TO WRAP UP MY PORTION AT THIS POINT.

OKAY. YOU READY FOR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

WE'LL START WITH THE FIRST PART OF THE PRESENTATION.

ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. MALANDRUCCOLO.

MR. MCMANUS? SOMEWHERE ALONG IN THERE, IT WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ABOUT TAKING ADVANCED MATH. I'M CURIOUS.

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, BUT REMIND ME WHAT PROCESSES WE EITHER CHANGED OR IMPROVED TO IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS, TO GET THEM INTO THOSE COURSES. DR.

WATSON, YOU SHOULD TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS.

NO, I NEED TO GIVE DEREK MCDANIEL CREDIT FOR THIS.

AND, DR. WRIGHT, I DID FIND OUT THAT WHERE THEY HAD THE CONVERSATION AND THEN IT JUST WASN'T CONNECTED.

I WASN'T IN THAT CONVERSATION.

I HAD MY OWN CONVERSATION, MY OWN HEAD.

SO SO WE WENT TO AN OPT OUT.

LOOKING AT DATA THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT SETS OF DATA THAT WE CAN USE.

WE CAN USE PREVIOUS STAAR DATA, WE CAN USE PRE SAT DATA, CBA DATA TO KIND OF DETERMINE THE LEVELS OF STUDENTS OR ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS FOR THE STUDENTS SO WE CAN PLACE THEM IN APPROPRIATE COURSES.

HISTORICALLY, WE HAD SOME STUDENTS THAT WERE REAL HIGH ACHIEVING THAT WERE GOING TO ON LEVEL TRACK AND BY PUTTING THEM IN THE ADVANCED COURSES, THEN OF COURSE THEY COULD OPT OUT. WE ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS THAT DON'T QUITE MAKE THAT CUT POINT THAT THEN CAN OPT IN AND WE CAN HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND HAVE SOME BRIDGES TO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN JUMP INTO THE ADVANCED COURSES.

[01:00:02]

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WE'VE HAD OUR TEACHERS REALLY PUSHED TO DO THE RECRUITING BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT CAN SELL THEIR CLASSES.

WE'VE SEEN SOME SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN OUR ON RAMPS, IN OUR AP CLASSES AND DUAL CREDIT AS WELL.

WELL, I'LL JUST I'LL GIVE YOU ALL CREDIT FOR IT.

WE'LL MAKE IT JUST EVERYBODY CAN TAKE A LITTLE BIT.

JUST ONE MORE THING.

[INAUDIBLE] SO WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE BOARD AND SAW CBA ONE DATA AND LOTS OF RED, IT'S INSTANT PANIC.

BUT I'VE LEARNED HOW TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ADJUST MY THINKING SINCE IT'S OUR FIRST LOOK AT WHERE KIDS ARE.

IT'S A MOMENT IN TIME.

BUT I KNOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE THE REAL PROFESSIONALS OF THIS AND YOU SEE IT ALL THE TIME, DID ANYTHING IN HERE JUMP OUT AT YOU AS A, HEY, FOLKS, WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS, WHATEVER THAT LITTLE BALL OF INFORMATION IS.

WAS THERE WAS THERE ANY OF THAT THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY? I THINK WE HAVE SOME POCKETS.

NOT HOLISTICALLY, BUT WE DO DEFINITELY HAVE SOME POCKETS THAT JUMP OUT THAT WE KNOW THAT, HEY, THESE ARE REALLY GOOD.

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? HOW CAN WE REPLICATE THIS? WHAT'S GOING ON? AND THEN THERE'S A FEW THAT, HEY, WE NEED TO EXAMINE THIS TO KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

ARE WE TEACHING TO THE LEVEL WE NEED TO AND THEN WE CAN ADJUST INSTRUCTION AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BE THAT CONTINUOUS MONITORING, GIVING FEEDBACK AND ASSESSING.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB.

I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU THAT OTHERWISE.

BUT I KNOW IN YEARS PAST WHEN WHEN THOSE AREAS OF CONCERN KIND OF BUBBLE TO THE TOP, WE ALMOST LIKE A SWAT TEAM APPROACH TO IT AND REALLY GET AFTER IT.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THERE'S RESOURCES THAT ARE NEEDED TO DO THAT, WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL CBA 47, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE LINE TO WHERE WE GO, HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION BACK AT CBA ONE.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MCMANUS GO AHEAD. DR. WATSON.

I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO JOY PHILPOTT.

SHE'S BEEN LEADING THE CHARGE WITH THE ADVANCED ACADEMICS [APPLAUSE].

AND A LOT OF THE DATA THAT SHE HAS BEEN PROVIDING THE CAMPUSES PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ALLOWING THEM TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THEIR MASTER SCHEDULE HAS BEEN HUGE.

SO, OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YES, WE LOVE JOY PHILPOTT.

SHE'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MRS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

SO TELL ME, WHEN WAS THIS CBA ONE GIVEN? THE WINDOWS VARY DEPENDING ON THE SUBJECT AND GRADE LEVEL WHERE IT MAKES SENSE IN THE CURRICULUM.

I THINK THE FIRST WINDOW STARTED END OF SEPTEMBER, AND THE LAST WINDOW I THINK WAS AN EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE, WHICH IS WHY WE HAD TO UPDATE THAT ONE JUST CLOSED LIKE IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO.

OKAY, I'LL PUT IT IN HERE SO I CAN GET MORE SPECIFIC DATES.

SINCE I KNOW WE DID ANSWER THAT, WE CAN GET YOU ALL THE DISTRICT ASSESSMENT CALENDAR THAT HAS THE DATES AND WINDOWS, ALL THE DIFFERENT TESTS.

YES, THAT'D BE GREAT.

THE OTHER THING THAT I'M KIND OF I'M GLAD THAT YOU PUT ALL THESE REMINDERS IN HERE FOR US.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M MISSING IS KIND OF LIKE AN OVERVIEW OR WHAT ARE SOME STRENGTHS, AS YOU SAW, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE ELEMENTARY READING AND MATH.

WHAT ARE SOME STRENGTHS WE SAW? WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES THERE? AND THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE, RIGHT? MIDDLE SCHOOL, READING AND MATH, BECAUSE WE DO SEE SOME STRENGTHS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH, RIGHT? SO WHAT ARE WE SEEING THERE? WHAT ARE SOME TRENDS AND WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES GOING BACK TO THAT PLAN OF ACTION OF HOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT? SO IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR THOSE CONTENT AREAS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KIND OF HAVE A HIGH VIEW OF THAT.

AND I REALLY LOVE THE FIVE YEAR COMPARISON.

SO THAT IS GREAT THAT YOU ALL INCLUDED THAT IN THERE.

SO YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT OTHER INFORMATION AT A LATER DATE.

THAT WILL BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

AND REFRESH OUR MEMORY WHY THE M IS BACK IN.

DR. WATSON BECAUSE WE TALKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT HOW IT GOT KICKED OUT TO MILITARY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REALLY GAUGE IT.

RIGHT. THEY COULDN'T REALLY.

EVERYBODY WAS DOING DIFFERENT THINGS IN REGARDS TO MILITARY READINESS.

NOW, TELL US WHEN IT GOT PUT BACK AND WHY.

I THINK THE LAST TIME Y'ALL TALK.

OH, SORRY. YEAH, THE LAST TIME WE TALKED, IT WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND THEN WE HAD A MEETING WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMICS, PEOPLE, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY TEA RELEASED, HEY, IT'S BACK.

BASICALLY, WHAT SCHOOLS HAVE TO DO IS SUBMIT A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FORM.

LIKE THIS IS ACTUALLY LIKE A NINE PAGE DOCUMENT THAT SOMEBODY AT THE MILITARY SIGNS OFF ON SAYING, YES, THIS KID ABSOLUTELY IS ENLISTING, AND THEN WE'LL SUBMIT THAT TO TEA AND WE GET CREDIT FOR FOR THE MILITARY.

SO THAT IS VERY RECENT. IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SELF REPORTED THING, WHICH IS HOW SOME OF THESE DISTRICTS GOT IN TROUBLE WITH GOING OVERBOARD WITH SOME OF THAT.

SO THAT. UM, THAT'S HOW THAT WORKS.

[01:05:01]

BUT NOW THAT IT'S BEEN ADDED IN, I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S THAT IS A PIECE OF THE OUTCOMES BONUS FOR THE HOUSE BILL THREE.

IT'S A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE SO I WOULDN'T REALLY BANK ON A LOT OF THIS.

YOU KNOW MAYBE 2% EACH YEAR, BUT EVERY KID HELPS FOR SURE.

SURE. OKAY, GREAT.

YES. AND I'LL TYPE THESE QUESTIONS IN JUST TO MAKE SURE.

I THINK THAT MAY HAVE TO HAVE SOME LEGISLATIVE ACTION WITH THE BECAUSE I THINK THEY TOOK IT OUT IN THE LAST SESSION AND THEY'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN TIED TO THE OUTCOME MONEY.

YES, SIR, I BELIEVE SO.

BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S CERTAIN CRITERIA WE HAVE TO MEET IN ORDER TO GET THE FUNDING.

SO I WILL WRITE THAT QUESTION AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET AN ANSWER SOON.

THANKS. ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE, MRS. OROSCO? TAKE IT OVER HERE, MR. VELA.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.

AND, YEAH, ON PAGE SIX, I AM ONE OF THOSE.

WHEN I SEE THE RED, I MEAN, I JUST KIND OF LOOK AT AT TREND LINES.

SO THE THE SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, LET'S LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THIRD GRADE AND THEN FOURTH GRADE MAYBE DOES DOESN'T INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE.

IS THERE A TREND WITH THAT THAT WE LOOK AT? OR IS THAT JUST BECAUSE THE CURRICULUM HAS CHANGED FROM YEAR THIRD GRADE TO FOURTH GRADE? SHOULD THERE BE SOME CORRELATION THERE FOR THOSE PATTERNS? PROBABLY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.

YES. BUT WITH THIS BEING THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE REALLY GIVEN THESE THESE TESTS WITH THE NEW ITEM TYPES, IT'S REALLY HARD TO COMPARE.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL GET A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WHEN WE GET THE CBA TWO DATA TO SEE A SIMILAR TEST TO A SIMILAR TEST OVERALL WHAT WE WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE FOURTH GRADE TEKS IN READING AND MATH ARE HARDER THAN THIRD GRADE TEKS.

SO THAT RIGOR DOES PICK UP A LITTLE BIT, WHICH IS WHY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A-F, FOURTH GRADE GROWTH IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN WHAT WE WILL SEE THE NEXT YEAR IN THE FIFTH GRADE. SO I THINK THAT'LL PROBABLY HOLD.

BUT AS FAR AS COMPARING THESE NUMBERS TO ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THAT'S REALLY HARD TO DO.

OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.

AND THEN ON THE CCMR, SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING.

THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION JUST ON THAT GRAPH ON PAGE 15.

I SEE THE DOWNGRADED RESULTS FOR 2019 AND 2020.

DO WE HAVE THE UPGRADED RESULTS AS FAR AS INCLUDING THE MILITARY READINESS FOR 2021 AND 2022? LIKE. SO I DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND RETROACTIVELY PUT THE END BACK IN BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A WAY TO CAPTURE THE DATA A RELIABLE WAY BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THE TEA DIDN'T HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE.

SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE RETROACTIVE.

BUT WE WE KNOW HOW MANY KIDS, FOR EXAMPLE, TOOK THE ASVAB OR HOW MANY OF THEM.

CORRECT. SO GENERALLY BETWEEN TWO AND 3% OF OUR STUDENTS EVERY YEAR JOIN THE MILITARY.

AND THAT'S A STEADY NUMBER.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LIKE IBCS TRYING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND INCREASE.

THAT'S BEEN A HISTORICALLY STEADY NUMBER, SO WE CAN FIGURE 2 TO 3%.

OKAY. THANK YOU. MRS. RUNKLE DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES. AND I KNOW MRS. OROSCO. I SUBMITTED SOME QUESTIONS THERE IN THE DAIS FOLDER, BUT ON THE CBA ONE, IF YOU COULD JUST LET US KNOW WHEN THE WINDOW WAS FOR CBA ONE AND THEN WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL CBA CORRECT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

THAT'S JUST CBA TWO, RIGHT? AND THEN THE WINDOW FOR CBA TWO.

AND THEN I HAVE SOME OTHER QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES TO GRADING ON A STUDENT STANDPOINT, BUT I WILL WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO GIVE THAT TO ME ON BOARD BLOG.

GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YEAH. ON THE MILITARY THING, I WAS I HAD ALREADY DECIDED I WAS GOING TO COME UP WITH MY OWN WAY TO CAPTURE THIS.

ANYBODY IN ROTC, ANYBODY THAT TOOK THE [INAUDIBLE] AND ANYBODY IN MARCHING BAND BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHO'S THAT MARCHING BAND CONTEST? RECRUITING KIDS? THE MARINES. AND I DON'T BLAME THEM.

IT'S SO HARD.

SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU, THE TEA AND THE DOD HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY BECAUSE IT WAS SORT OF THIS HODGEPODGE AND PEOPLE WERE PROBABLY MAKING THINGS UP.

YES, I THINK THERE ARE SOME SHENANIGANS.

IF YOU TALK TO A MILITARY RECRUITER AT SOME DISTRICTS, YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHANCE OF BEING CCMR. SO I SEE. I SEE.

I ALSO SEE THAT TEA IS ACCEPTING FEEDBACK ON THE NEW SYSTEMS. WELL, I WILL TELL THEM A NINE PAGE DOCUMENT FOR EVERY CHILD IS NOT SUPER GREAT, BUT WE'LL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT TEAM?

[01:10:06]

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD WORK TEAM.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE SOMETHING UP. WE HAVE A FRIEND HERE FROM WACO, WHO PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO GET ON THE ROAD.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE UP M8, WHICH IS THE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF OUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL AUDIT.

[M.8. Consideration and possible approval of the annual Financial Audit Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022]

YOU GUYS HAVE SOME DOCUMENTS ON OUR THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED TODAY.

WE'VE ALSO HAD THIS ON BOARD BLOG.

MR. RAU DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE CONSIDER TAKING ACTION? TEAM THIS IS ON PAGE 96 OF YOUR BOARD BOOK.

I JUST WAS GOING TO SAY.

MR. KENT WILLIS IS HERE FROM PL BROWNHILL.

THEY'RE OUR AUDITORS THIS YEAR, AND I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK HIM AND HIS STAFF.

THEY DID A REAL GOOD AUDIT FOR US.

I THINK, AS DR.

WRIGHT WAS SAYING, YOU'LL UNFORTUNATELY, YOU'LL SEE THE RESULTS IN THE AUDIT AREN'T WHAT WE'D LIKE, BUT IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR WE CAN HAVE MR. WILLIS COME UP AND PRESENT THE AUDIT HIMSELF.

WELL, HE CAME ALL THE WAY HERE.

HAVE HIM COME UP AND TEAM I'M ASSUMING, MR. BROWN, THIS IS KIND OF OUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND THIS IS THE FULL THING.

OKAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW? SURE. YEAH. I'LL TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND CHAT.

THANK YOU, RANDY. THANKS.

AS RANDY SAID, MY NAME IS KENT WILLIS.

I'M AN AUDIT MANAGER AT OUR GOVERNMENT AUDIT DEPARTMENT AT PATTILLO BRENNAN HILL, JUST BASED OUT OF WACO.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE WORKED WITH THE DISTRICT.

WE DID YOUR AUDIT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

A FEW YEARS BACK YOU ALL ROTATED AUDITORS AND THEN YOU ROTATED AGAIN AND HIRED US BACK.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT AGAIN.

I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

I WANT TO THANK RANDY AND HIS CREW FOR THE AUDIT.

THEY BEAR THE BRUNT OF ALL OF OUR KNOWING QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS AND THEY TRY TO HANDLE THE AUDIT WHILE ALSO DOING THEIR DAY TO DAY JOB.

AND IT'S A BIG ASK DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SO EVERYBODY WE WORKED WITH DURING THE AUDIT WAS FORTHCOMING, TRANSPARENT AND JUST REALLY HELPFUL.

SO AS AN AUDITOR, AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR, AN OUTSIDER, THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD WHEN YOUR STAFF IS TRANSPARENT AND FORTHCOMING.

THAT'S THE POINT OF ALL THIS.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS JUST TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL VIEW OF HOW THE AUDIT WENT.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE SOME OTHER STUFF TO ATTEND TO TONIGHT, SO I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE UP A BUNCH OF YOUR TIME.

BUT IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION, IF YOU HAVE AN AREA YOU WANT TO DRILL DOWN INTO, GET INTO THE DEBITS AND CREDITS, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.

JUST STOP ME AT ANY POINT.

SO I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

SO, YES, YOU ASKED ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS.

THIS IS SORT OF A DISCLOSURE THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO GIVE YOU.

IT'S PRETTY BOILERPLATE UNLESS WE HAD BAD, BAD NEWS.

SO I GUESS SPOILER ALERT, THERE IS NO BAD NEWS.

I'M GOING TO SKIP PAST THIS DOCUMENT AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE SPIRAL BOUND ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT OR ACFR.

THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL IT TONIGHT.

ONE THING I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE AUDIT, SOMETHING I THINK THE DISTRICT SHOULD BE PROUD OF.

IF YOU'LL TURN TO ROMAN NUMERAL SIX ON THIS DOCUMENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS ROMAN NUMERAL SIX.

SO THIS IS THE AWARD THE DISTRICT GOT FOR LAST YEAR'S AUDIT REPORT.

IT'S THE CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING.

WE DO AUDITS OF ABOUT 150 GOVERNMENTS PER YEAR AT OUR FIRM, AND MOST OF THEM DON'T DO THIS AWARD.

EVERYBODY WANTS IT.

IT LOOKS GREAT. IT SOUNDS GREAT TO GET THE AWARD, BUT IT'S DIFFICULT.

IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT FOR YOUR STAFF TO ACHIEVE THIS.

AND SO THE WAY THIS WORKS, YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS, BUT JUST A REMINDER HOW THIS WORKS.

AT THE END OF THIS AUDIT, AFTER I PRESENT TO YOU GUYS, YOUR STAFF WILL SUBMIT THIS DOCUMENT FOR 2022 TO THE GFO FOR GRADING.

AND IT'S ABOUT AN 80 PAGE DOCUMENT OF JUST AN 80 PAGE CHECKLIST BASICALLY THAT THE GRADERS WILL LOOK AT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS THEIR STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS FOR FORM. HOW DOES IT LOOK? DOES IT MEET THE STANDARDS FOR HOW EVERYTHING'S LAID OUT IN HERE, BASICALLY.

BUT ALSO FOR CONTENT ARE YOU MEETING GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ALL THE OTHER GUIDELINES THAT THEY REQUIRE IN THIS DOCUMENT? SO IT'S A TON OF WORK FOR YOUR STAFF TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE 15 TO 20TH YEAR IN A ROW THAT THE DISTRICT HAS GOTTEN THIS AWARD.

I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF THAT YOU GUYS ARE ACHIEVING THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND SO WE FULLY EXPECT THIS ONE WILL BE THE NEXT AWARD FOR THE DISTRICT AND THAT YOU GUYS WILL GET IT FOR 2022 AS WELL.

[01:15:07]

THAT'S REALLY COOL. ALL RIGHT.

SO JUST A HIGH LEVEL LOOK AT THE AUDIT.

PAGE ONE IS WHERE I'M GOING TO GO NEXT TO YOU.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE WHOLE LETTER TO YOU, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUMMARY OF WHAT DID WE CONCLUDE AFTER WE DID OUR AUDIT THIS YEAR.

SO AS MENTIONED, WE'RE DOING WE'RE WE COMPLETED THE AUDIT FOR THE YEAR, ENDED JUNE 30, 2022.

AND OUR GOAL FOR AN AUDIT IS TO BASICALLY EVERY NUMBER YOU SEE IN THIS DOCUMENT TO DO SOME SORT OF PROCEDURE OR TEST OR CONFIRMATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACCURATE, RIGHT? NOT PERFECT.

WE WOULD NEVER COME UP HERE AND SAY THIS DOCUMENT WAS PERFECT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THE AUDITING STANDARDS ASK FOR.

AND WE'D BE HERE ALL YEAR ROUND.

I THINK RANDY MIGHT GET TIRED OF US IF WE WERE GOING FOR PERFECTION.

WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR IS WHAT WE CALL MATERIALLY CORRECT, AND THAT IS A VERY HIGH STANDARD FOR AN AUDITOR.

WHAT THAT MEANS TO ME BASICALLY, IS THAT IF THERE ARE ERRORS IN THIS DOCUMENT, IF SOME OF THESE NUMBERS AREN'T PERFECT, THOSE ERRORS ARE SO SMALL THAT THEY WOULDN'T AFFECT THE DECISION MAKING OF YOU GUYS, THE BOARD OF TEA, OF GRANTING AGENCIES, ANYBODY WHO'S USING THIS DOCUMENT TO MAKE A DECISION, THE ERRORS THAT MIGHT BE IN HERE WOULD BE SO SMALL THAT THEY WOULD AFFECT YOUR DECISION MAKING.

SO VERY, VERY HIGH STANDARD, BUT NOT PERFECTION.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO ISSUE WHAT WE CALL THE UNMODIFIED OPINION ON THE FINANCIALS.

THAT'S THE NEW TERM FOR A CLEAN OPINION, AND THAT'S THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE ON AN AUDIT OF A GOVERNMENT.

SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A CLEAN OPINION OVER THE FINANCIALS.

NO FINDINGS TO REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT.

IT'S ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS WHEN IT COMES TO AN AUDIT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE REALLY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG. I WASN'T INTENDING TO MENTION THIS, BUT SINCE YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT THE FUND BALANCE DECLINE, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT PAGE 48.

I WANT TO PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE, AT LEAST HOW WE LOOK AT FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND.

PAGE 48. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE BUDGET TO ACTUAL FOR FISCAL 22.

SO THERE'S A FEW MONTHS AGO.

YOU'VE SEEN FINANCIALS BEFORE TONIGHT, I IMAGINE, AS OF JUNE 30, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ROUGHLY $7 MILLION DECLINE IN FUND BALANCE. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT AND THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS COLUMN DOWN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE AT $6.9 MILLION.

THAT'S A BIG OLD NUMBER.

I KNOW THAT'S THE REASON TO BE FOCUSED ON THIS.

BUT TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, WHAT WE LOOK AT AS AN AUDITOR JUST KIND OF FIRST GLANCE AT A SET OF FINANCIALS IS HOW MANY MONTHS OF FUND BALANCE DO YOU HAVE IN THE GENERAL FUND? THAT'S KIND OF A GOOD RATIO TO LOOK AT.

SO YOU START OF THE YEAR AT ABOUT 4.1.

MONTHS, WHICH IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.

THAT'S SOUND FINANCIALLY.

AND YOU END OF THE YEAR AT 3.7.

IT'S ABOUT 12 DAYS DECLINE IN FUND BALANCE OPERATING OR THAT DEBT RATIO.

SO $7 MILLION IS A BIG NUMBER.

YOU NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON THAT AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE.

BUT 12 DAYS CHANGE IN YOUR FUND BALANCE THERE OPERATING FUND BALANCE IS NOT A HUGE CHANGE.

SO I HOPE THAT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF COMFORT THERE AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING TO KEEP FOCUSING ON, BUT I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

AND FINALLY, LET ME TURN BACK TO THE VERY, VERY BACK PAGE 108.

PAGE 109.

108. 109.

SO THE OPINION LETTER WE LOOKED AT ON PAGE ONE, THAT'S WHAT YOU NORMALLY THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT AN AUDIT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THAT'S THE BALANCE SHEETS, THE INCOME STATEMENTS AND OUR OPINION ON THOSE.

PAGE 108 AND 109 WOULD BE IT'S A IT'S A SCHEDULE CALLED THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS.

AND SO THESE ARE SOME FAMILIAR TERMS YOU SEE ON HERE.

WE HAVE THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, TITLE ONE SPECIAL ED CLUSTER.

THESE ARE ALL THE FEDERAL GRANTS THAT THE DISTRICT SPENT MONEY WITH DURING THE FISCAL YEAR.

THE TOTAL THERE YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM ON PAGE 109 $29 MILLION, ALMOST 30 MILLION BUCKS OF FEDERAL SPENDING DURING THE YEAR.

AND THE REASON I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT IS AS AN AUDITOR, IF I COME IN AND DO AN AUDIT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT, IF THAT NUMBER IS GREATER THAN $750,000, I'M REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO WHAT WE CALL A SINGLE AUDIT.

AND SO WHAT THAT IS, IS WE'LL COME IN HERE AND SELECT ONE OR MORE OF THE GRANTS THAT YOU SEE ON THESE TWO PAGES.

AND WE PICK THEM BASED ON SIZE, BASED ON RISK.

THERE'S A FEW FACTORS.

WE DON'T LOOK AT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM, BUT WE PICK A FEW OF THEM AND WE'RE REQUIRED TO DRILL DOWN INTO THE DETAILS AND MAKE SURE.

DID THE DISTRICT FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THOSE GRANTS? OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S STRINGS ATTACHED TO ALL THESE DOLLARS YOU DON'T GET THEM FOR FOR FREE.

[01:20:03]

YOU FOLLOW THE REPORTING GUIDELINES.

THERE'S ALL THESE THINGS YOU'VE GOT TO DO.

AND OUR JOB IS TO COME IN AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU FOLLOW THOSE GUIDELINES AND THEN ISSUE AN OPINION.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM.

WE LOOKED AT ESSER AND AT THE ELC REOPENING SCHOOLS PROGRAM, THOSE AIR PURIFIERS THAT WERE PURCHASED.

THOSE ARE THE THREE PROGRAMS WE LOOKED AT.

WHEN I MENTIONED THE CLEAN OPINION EARLIER ON THE FINANCIALS, MOST OF OUR CLIENTS GET A CLEAN OPINION.

THAT'S THAT'S FAIRLY COMMON.

WHEN YOU GET INTO THESE GRANTS THESE ARE TOUGH.

THE RULES ARE EVER CHANGING, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE ESSER DOLLARS.

WE'VE HAD SOME FINDINGS IN THE SINGLE AUDIT ARENA WITH CLIENTS OVER THE YEARS.

IT JUST HAPPENS.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO STAY ABREAST OF ALL THE CHANGING RULES AND STAY ON TOP OF THAT EVERY DAY.

FORTUNATELY, AT HAYS THIS YEAR, WE'VE GOT NO FINDINGS TO REPORT AND A CLEAN OPINION THE ISSUE OVER THE GRANT TESTING AS WELL.

SO I MEAN BOTH ARENAS AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT AND THE SINGLE AUDIT AREA OVER THE GRANTS, IT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR AN AUDIT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO LOVE TO HAVE GOOD NEWS.

I'M HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT TO YOU GUYS.

AND I'D LOVE TO DRILL DOWN INTO ANY AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE FURTHER LOOK AT THE DETAILS.

I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. SO WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT AND OF COURSE, GIVING US A LITTLE OVERVIEW HERE.

TEAM, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WILLIS? ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE 2021-2022 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE, AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. WILLIS. THANKS, GUYS. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

SAFE TRAVELS HOME.

OKAY. MR. RAU CAN WE JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.

YEAH. WHAT YOU SAY WHEN YOU GO.

DURING ALL THAT TIME TO RANDY'S OFFICE, HE ALWAYS HAS FIVE OR SIX PEOPLE IN THERE, AND THEY'RE RUNNING AND GETTING AND PULLING AND SO IT'S A IT'S A VERY IN-DEPTH PROCESS.

AND AND WITH THE SUPERIOR RATING AND WITH THE WITH ALL OF THE AWARDS RECEIVED, I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD GIVE RANDY AND HIS TEAM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE [APPLAUSE].

WELL DESERVED.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

TIM, HOW ARE WE DOING? DO WE NEED A BREAK? WE'RE GOOD. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK UP THEN TO CONSENT AGENDA.

[L. CONSENT AGENDA ]

ITEM L THREE A.

ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE, AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE BACK TO M1.

[M.1. Consideration and possible adoption of Updated Attendance Zones]

TEAM, THIS IS ON PAGE 64 OF YOUR BOOK.

AND MR. SAVOY IS HERE TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OR TO HAVE ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS.

LET'S JUST LET'S JUST START WITH QUESTIONS FOR MR. SAVOY. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

AND THERE IS A VERY THOUGHTFUL MOTION.

I HOPE THAT YOU READ ABOUT GRANDFATHERING THOSE STUDENTS IN THAT ARE IMPACTED.

SO ANY QUESTIONS TEAM FOR MR. SAVOY? MRS. RUNKLE? YES, MR. SAVOY.

THANK YOU. I SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON BOARD BLOG, SO I'LL JUST ASK.

MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE THE ANSWER NOW.

OKAY. I HAVE.

I HAD THEM ON THERE, BUT I'LL ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.

HAVE ALL OF THE STUDENTS YOU'VE MADE CONTACT WITH ALL OF THE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES? WE HAVE NOT.

WE INTENTIONALLY HADN'T CALLED THEM YET BECAUSE WHAT YOU ALL DECIDE WOULD BE WHAT SHAPES THAT CONVERSATION.

SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING RIGHT NOW, BASICALLY THEIR LIVES WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT.

THEY WOULD GET AN OPTION IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE NEW SCHOOL THAT THEY'RE GOING TO IF THEY'RE NOT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO APPROACH AND TALK TO THEM WITH THAT OPTION AND BOX THE BOARD INTO BEING OBLIGATED TO DO THAT.

IF FOR SOME REASON YOU ALL CHOOSE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED OR PROPOSED, I WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO THE PARENTS TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE

[01:25:06]

BUT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING RIGHT NOW WOULD BE A GRANDFATHER.

THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION THROUGH THEIR FEEDER PATTERN ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

WE'RE ONLY I DIDN'T LOOK TODAY, SO I HAVE FORGOTTEN SINCE THIS WEEKEND.

I THINK THERE'S ABOUT A DOZEN KIDS INVOLVED IN THREE OR FOUR OF THEM ALREADY ARE ACTUALLY NOT EVEN REALLY GOING TO BE AFFECTED BECAUSE THEY'RE EITHER GOING TO THE CORRECT SCHOOL OR THEY'RE GOING TO AN APPROVED TRANSFER.

IT'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

AND SO ODDS ARE THAT SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE PROBABLY EITHER THERE WAITING FOR A HOUSE TO BE BUILT OR I DON'T EXPECT THAT THEY'LL NECESSARILY BE THERE FOR A LONG TIME. BUT IF THEY ARE, I THINK THE ERROR IS OURS, AS A DISTRICT AND I THINK WE BEAR THE BURDEN ON THAT AND NOT PASS THAT ALONG TO OUR FAMILIES.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT QUESTION IS HOW WE WERE HANDLING TRANSPORTATION.

SO THANK YOU. YES, THE THE INTENT WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE, MRS. OROZCO? I JUST WANTED TO SAY, MS. PETREA, YOU'RE SO CORRECT BY SAYING HOW THOUGHTFUL THIS MOTION IS.

THANK YOU, MR. SAVOY, FOR CRAFTING SUCH A MOTION THAT IS, TO BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT APPROACH.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. SAVOY? [INAUDIBLE] I WOULD JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, LAST LAST MONTH I SAID WE HAD KIND OF HAD A THREE STEP PROCESS.

THE PACKAGE OF CHANGES LAST MONTH WAS DESIGNED TO NOT BE THE ONES THAT WOULD AFFECT STUDENTS, ALTHOUGH IT DID TURN OUT THAT WE FOUND TWO STUDENTS IN THERE AND THAT'S BEING HANDLED AND THEY HAVE THEIR CHOICE.

THIS ONE WAS THE ONE THAT AFFECTED STUDENTS.

SO THIS SHOULD.

UNLESS MAX HAS SEEN ANY OTHER ADJUSTMENTS FROM OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHERS, THIS SHOULD CLEAN UP OUR MAPS AND SET THE STAGE SO THAT NEXT FALL WE CAN DO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE.

AND AT THAT POINT, WE'LL LIKELY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALL IMPANEL A COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE'LL BE LOOKING TO ADD A ZONE FOR ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MAYBE LOOKING AT OTHER OTHER CHANGES TOO. OKAY.

ANY OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVE TO ADOPT THE ATTENDANCE ZONE CHANGES AS PRESENTED, AND THAT WE FURTHER MOVE THAT ALL CURRENT STUDENTS WHO CONTINUOUSLY RESIDE WITHIN THE CHANGE TERRITORY WILL HAVE THE CHOICE TO GRANDFATHER INTO THEIR CURRENT FEEDER PATTERN WITH TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED OR ATTEND THE NEWLY ZONED CAMPUSES.

SO MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. MCMANUS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON NOW TO M2.

[M.2. Consideration and possible approval of Hays CISD Legislative Priorities in preparation for the upcoming 88th Legislative Session beginning in January 2023]

AND THIS IS OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES THAT WE WORKED ON TOGETHER.

ANY UPDATES THAT YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT DR.

WRIGHT? NO, OF COURSE, I LIKED ALL OF THE ONES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BECAUSE I KIND OF GOT TO DRAFT THEM. BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND WITH GETTING INPUT AND WE WANTED TO PARE THESE DOWN TO THE ONES THAT WE HAVE.

AND AND SO I'M SUPPORTIVE.

IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE SOME OFF, IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE IT AS IT IS, IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AS THEY GO INTO THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH HOPES THAT THEY MAY LISTEN TO OUR THOUGHTS.

AND SO I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE SOME SOME INPUT.

SO REALLY, NO, NO UPDATE OTHER THAN THE LIST WAS PARED DOWN.

AND IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER, YOU HAVE THE RANKING LIST.

THOSE OF YOU THAT DID RANK MISS GLORIA KIND OF TOOK THESE AND THEN AVERAGE THE ONES THAT WERE TIED.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE GOLF. THE LOWER THE THE SCORE, THE HIGHER THE RANKING.

AND SO THAT WAS THE METHOD TO THE MADNESS ON THAT.

BUT I KNOW ESPERANZA AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS TODAY, AND SHE THINKS THAT WE MIGHT SHOULD ADD A COUPLE MORE AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH HER.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE AT THIS POINT.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROZCO. THANK YOU, MR. PETREA. SO AFTER LOOKING AT THE TALLIES OF WHAT WE VOTED ON AND WHAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THEM THAT WERE TIED THAT WERE WE HAD FOUR OF THEM THAT WERE TIED FOR THE LAST TWO PLACES.

RIGHT. AND SO I KNOW THAT I DID NOT RANK THESE.

WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION.

SOME PEOPLE RANKED THEM BY PRIORITY, SOME PEOPLE DID NOT.

MR. VELA MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT ABOUT HOW THESE ARE ALL OUR PRIORITIES, SO THEY SHOULDN'T BE RANKED.

[01:30:03]

SO I WOULD SUGGEST ONE OF TWO THINGS, RIGHT, SINCE THERE WERE FOUR ITEMS THAT WERE TIED FOR NUMBER FOR THAT LAST NINE AND TEN SPOT.

RIGHT. THEY ALL WERE RANKED THE SAME WITH THREE TALLIES EACH.

WE COULD EITHER JUST ADD THEM ALL INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DECIPHER IF YOU KNOW WHAT WAS A PRIORITY THAT WILL PUT AND SO-AND-SO PUT, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.

WE'RE NOT ALL OF US RANKED IT.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST INCREASING IT TO TWELVE AND CAPTURING ALL THOSE THAT WERE TALLIED TO THAT THREE.

THAT THREE PEOPLE WANTED THAT ONE, OR AS HAVING A DRAWN OUT DISCUSSION ABOUT THOSE FOUR THAT WERE LISTED AS THREE TALLIES.

SO WHATEVER THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS, I AM GOOD WITH EITHER ONE.

YOU WANT TO READ THE ONES THAT WERE THE TIED? YES. SO THE TIDE ONES WERE SUPPORT KEEPING THE TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM [INAUDIBLE] BENEFIT.

SUPPORT INCREASED STATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRS ACTIVE CARE SO THAT EMPLOYEES AND RETIRED TEACHERS EXPENSES DO NOT CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

PROVIDE LOCAL DISTRICT DISCRETION FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY RELATED FUNDING, OPPOSE VOUCHERS AND FURTHER CHARTER EXPANSION.

SO THOSE WERE THE LAST FOUR THAT WERE TIED.

SO IF WE WERE TO USE ALL FOUR OF THOSE, WE WOULD BE TO TWELVE PRIORITIES INSTEAD OF TEN.

AND I DON'T REMEMBER HOW MANY WE HAD LAST TIME, BUT NOT THAT IT HAS TO BE TEN OR IT HAS TO BE A SET AMOUNT.

SO AGAIN, THOSE ARE TWO TWO SUGGESTIONS THAT I HAVE EITHER TO INCLUDE THOSE OTHER TWO BECAUSE I KNOW VOUCHERS AND TAKING A STAND AGAINST VOUCHERS THAT DID NOT MAKE IT ON THERE BUT WAS TIED IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

SO I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A VERY ROBUST DISCUSSION ON THAT ITEM.

IF WE WANT TO PARE IT DOWN AND KEEP IT AT TEN, OR WE CAN DO ALL TWELVE, WHATEVER THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS.

ALL RIGHT. MR. MCMANUS, I'M TEMPTED TO TAKE THAT CHALLENGE AND DEBATE THIS ALL NIGHT, BUT I WILL JUST SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF THE BOARD AND SAY, LET'S MAKE IT TWELVE. ALL RIGHT? I'M GONNA LOOK AROUND AND SEE ARE WE GOOD WITH TWELVE? WE'RE GOOD WITH TWELVE.

SO YOU SAID FOUR, BUT THEN THIS IS TEN AND THIS IS TWELVE.

SO. SO LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON WHAT WE'RE ADDING.

OH. SO WE'RE ADDING TWO ITEMS, WHICH WOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS, TEACHER, PROVIDE I'M SORRY, OPPOSE VOUCHERS AND FURTHER CHARTER EXPANSION.

WE WOULD BE PUTTING THAT ONE IN.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS THE I BELIEVE IS PROVIDE LOCAL DISTRICT DISCRETION FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY RELATED FUNDING.

OR THERE'S THERE'S FOUR OF THEM.

I DON'T HAVE THAT LIST IN FRONT OF ME.

SORRY. I HAVE TOO MANY PAPERS HERE.

HERE WE GO. I'M SORRY.

DID THAT? YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT ALREADY HAS A PROVIDE LOCAL DISTRICT.

IT WOULD BE THE SUPPORT, INCREASED STATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRS ACTIVE CARE, SO THAT EMPLOYEES AND RETIRED TEACHERS EXPENSES DO NOT CONTINUE TO INCREASE. GREAT VOUCHER WIN AND THAT AND THAT ONE.

OKAY, TEAM, I'M GOING TO LOOK AROUND AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE CONSENSUS TO ADD THOSE TWO ITEMS. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE HAYS CISD LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES IN PREPARATION FOR THE 88TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AS DISCUSSED.

SO MOVED. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MRS. RUNKLE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY I'M PROUD OF IS TEAM AND DR.

WRIGHT. I THINK THIS WAS PRETTY SEAMLESS AND I WANT YES, WE NEED TO HAVE A LOUD VOICE AT THE LEDGE, AND I'M GLAD WE HAVE THIS COLLECTIVE VOICE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES.

MRS. RUNKLE, YOU HAVE SOMETHING.

CAN WE. CAN WE READ THOSE? [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

READ THEM. I WILL READ THEM.

BUT THEN I'VE GOT TO FIND THESE TWO EXTRA ONES AND DECIDE WHERE THEY GO.

I THINK I ALREADY KNOW, BUT.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND, BECAUSE THIS FONT IS VERY, VERY SMALL.

HMM. MM HMM.

[01:35:10]

MM HMM. [INAUDIBLE].

WHERE'S THE WHERE'S THE TRS, HERE ON THE FIRST PAGE.

I GOT IT. OKAY AND THAT ONE WILL GO UNDER ATTRACT AND.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OUR HAYS CISD TOP LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES, NOT TOP TEN.

WE'LL JUST SAY TOP PRIORITIES.

INVEST IN OUR SCHOOLS, INCREASE THE BASIC ALLOTMENT FROM 6,160 TO 6,760, AND THEN BUILD IN A COST OF INFLATION FORMULA.

TIME TO SUNSET LEGISLATION FOR BIENNIAL REVIEW, FUND DISTRICTS BASED UPON ENROLLMENT WITH THREE DEFINED SNAPSHOT DATES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

NEXT CATEGORY IS MENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY.

INCREASED STATE FUNDING FOR ACCESS TO PROACTIVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL, CYBERSECURITY, SAFETY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF, ESPECIALLY AS THEY COPE WITH THE ADDITIONAL ANXIETY RELATED TO COVID 19 AND SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.

PROVIDE LOCAL DISTRICT DISCRETION FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY RELATED FUNDING.

ENHANCE SENATE BILL 11 TO ENSURE THAT THE RECORDS INCLUDED FOR ENROLLMENT TREX INCLUDE ALL DISCIPLINARY RECORDS AND BEHAVIORAL THREAT ASSESSMENT RECORDS.

NEXT TOPIC ATTRACT AND RETAIN PROFESSIONALS.

SUPPORT KEEPING THE TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM AS A DEFINED BENEFIT.

CREATE A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR TRS RETIREES TIED TO INFLATION AND TO A BIENNIAL SUNSET REVIEW.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT INCREASED STATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRS ACTIVE CARE SO THAT EMPLOYEES AND RETIRED TEACHERS EXPENSES DO NOT CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

NEXT TOPIC STRENGTHEN LOCAL CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY.

WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND PRESERVE THE RIGHT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND SCHOOL BOARDS TO ASSOCIATE AND COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER TO COMMUNICATE THE NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS, BOTH DIRECTLY AND THROUGH REPRESENTATIVE ORGANIZATION WITH LAWMAKERS.

NEXT TOPIC IS SUPPORT TEXAS SCHOOL PANDEMIC AND RECOVERY NEEDS.

HOLD SCHOOL DISTRICTS HARMLESS FOR FUNDING LOSSES CAUSED BY ENROLLMENT AND ATTENDANCE DECLINE DUE TO COVID 19 TO INCLUDE THE FIFTH AND SIXTH DIX WEEK PERIODS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022.

SHOULD THAT READ NINE WEEK OR IS SIX WEEKS FINE? SIX WEEKS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP, IMPROVE CHARTER SCHOOL TRANSPARENCY, LOCAL VOTE, LOCAL VOTER OVERSIGHT, AND OPPOSE VOUCHERS.

ADVOCATE FOR LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS VOTERS TO ELECT LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES TO THE GOVERNING BOARD OF CHARTER SCHOOLS AND TO OPPOSE VOUCHERS AND FURTHER CHARTER EXPANSION.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION TEAM? MRS. OROZCO.

DR. WRIGHT. QUICK QUESTION.

I CANNOT RECALL FROM THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDED FOR US FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ONE, DO THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR THAT FIRST BULLET THAT SAY INCREASED STATE FUNDING FOR ACCESS, DO THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS PUT ON THEIRS, ESPECIALLY AS THEY COPE WITH ADDITIONAL ANXIETY RELATED TO COVID 19 AND SCHOOL SHOOTINGS? I CANNOT RECALL.

NO, I THINK THE ONE THAT THAT WE COPIED THIS ONE FROM WAS THE THE TASA.

THE ONE FROM TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.

THE REST OF THEM ASKED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT.

BUT WE JUST SPELLED IT OUT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SO THAT IT WAS CLEAR.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS NECESSARY.

THAT LAST LINE, I COULD SEE IT ENDING WITH A STUDENT AND STAFF.

I JUST COULD NOT RECALL THAT INFORMATION.

YEAH. I THINK YOU SAID YOU ADDED IT.

I THINK I THINK WE JUST TOOK IT FROM THE LANGUAGE THAT ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS HAD AND JUST BECAUSE IT WAS MORE SPECIFIC.

SO IT WAS FROM ANOTHER ORGANIZATION.

MM HMM. OKAY.

THAT'S. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW.

LOOKING AT ALL THESE, I WANT TO ADD SOME MORE.

I'M LOOKING AT ESPECIALLY THE ONES DIRECTED TO CHARTER SCHOOLS.

WHICH IS. THANK YOU FOR WRITING SUCH GREAT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND MAKING SURE TO GATHER ALL THOSE FROM ALL THOSE STATE

[01:40:08]

YOU DID BRING A LOT OF GOOD ONES FORWARD AND IT REALLY IS HARD TO PARE DOWN.

BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEEDED TO SHORTEN IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, WE OPPOSE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND I THINK THAT'S ON HERE.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT ON THERE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

GOOD JOB TO YOU. MRS. RUNKLE THAT WAS A GREAT RECOMMENDATION.

I'M GLAD WE READ THOSE OUT LOUD.

OKAY. NEXT UP, WE HAVE M3.

[M.3. Consideration and possible approval of the Hays CISD District Improvement Plan]

YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER THAT INCLUDE THE.

THE DIP SUPPLEMENT ADDENDUM.

MRS. SEDILLO IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

WE'VE HAD THIS ON BOARD BLOG.

I KNOW MRS. OROSCO HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH MRS. SEDILLO. I THINK THIS IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MRS. SEDILLO.

MRS. OROSCO? THANK YOU, MS. PETREA. YES, I DID HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MS. SEDILLO IN ADVANCE, SO I APPRECIATE THAT ADDENDUM THAT WAS.

I DID NOT HAVE IT UNTIL TONIGHT, SO I DIDN'T GET TO READ ALL OF IT BECAUSE WE JUST RECEIVED IT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE REFERENCE IT ON PAGE TEN OF SEVENTEEN OF THE DIP WHERE IT IS STRATEGY FIFTEEN THAT WE REFERENCE IT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS AND ARE ABLE TO READ IT AND KNOW, HEY, THERE'S MORE INFORMATION ON THIS, SO GO HERE.

JUST REFERENCING IT, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD A GOOD PIECE TO ADD TO THAT.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE DISCUSSED, AND I KNOW IT SAID IT IN YOUR ADDENDUM, BUT DIDN'T SAY IT HERE, I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN IT SAID INCREASE ASSESSMENT WINDOWS AND I ASKED YOU WHAT THAT MEANT AND YOU SAID YOU WILL BE TESTING TWICE A YEAR, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING TO HIGHLIGHT IN THE STRATEGY INCREASE ASSESSMENT TO TWICE A YEAR.

THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO THOSE TWO EDITS AS WELL AS THE EDIT THAT WE DISCUSSED REGARDING THE SERVICES RIGHT.

BEFORE WHAT WE WERE DOING IS WE WERE TESTING STUDENTS AND WE WOULD TEST THEM AND WOULD NOT SERVE THEM UNTIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR UNLESS THEY WERE KINDER STUDENTS.

THEY WERE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE SERVICE THAT SAME YEAR.

SO IF YOU GOT TESTED IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET SERVICES UNTIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

SO I KNOW THAT WE HIRED ADDITIONAL FOLKS TO KIND OF MOVE THAT ALONG AND YOU HAVE WORKED ON THAT.

SO WE ARE ALSO DOING THAT.

CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE NOW? ABSOLUTELY. I DID PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF THE GT PLAN, AND SO I'M GOING TO WALK YOU IF YOU CAN GO TO IT REALLY QUICK.

I'D LIKE TO REFERENCE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT PROVIDING ANY NEWLY IDENTIFIED GT STUDENT SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THEM IN THE MONTHS MARCH THROUGH MAY.

AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT PROVIDING A SUMMER CAMP FOR OUR GT STUDENTS AND THEN, OF COURSE, CONTINUING ON THE SERVICES THEREAFTER.

AND SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT ON THE GT PLAN THAT WAS ALSO INCLUDED, WE DID REFERENCE THAT INFORMATION SO YOU COULD SEE IT.

SO ON PAGE TWO, YOU WILL SEE A COLUMN RIGHT IN THE CENTER WHERE IT HAS THE MARCH THROUGH MAY.

AND THEN IT SAYS NEWLY IDENTIFIED ELEMENTARY GT STUDENTS PULLED ONCE PER MONTH AND SEEN BY GT INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES TO PREPARE FOR GT CLUSTER.

SO IT'S REFERENCED IN OUR GT PLAN AND THAT IS DEFINITELY A CHANGE IN OUR SERVICE MODEL.

HI. I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT SINCE LAST YEAR, SO THAT'S GREAT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THOSE THREE EDITS TO THE DIP AS WE DISCUSS [INAUDIBLE].

HAVING THAT INCREASED ASSESSMENT WINDOW AND HIGHLIGHTING THOSE TWICE A YEAR EDITING TO ALSO INCLUDE THAT STUDENTS WILL BE RECEIVING SERVICES THAT SAME YEAR WHEN THEY ARE IDENTIFIED.

RIGHT. AND ALSO REFERENCING THE ADDENDUM BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS DIP AND NOT GO TO ALL THE ADDENDUMS AND THE

[01:45:01]

SO WE WANT TO CALL THAT OUT.

OKAY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THOSE THREE EDITS.

ALL RIGHT TEAM. ANY BODY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT? I'LL JUST KIND OF LOOK AROUND.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION.

ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE MOVE.

THE BOARD MOVE TO APPROVE THE 2022-2023 DISTRICT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE GOALS AND THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT IMPROVEMENT PLAN AS DISCUSSED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

[M.4. Consideration and possible approval of Hays CISD Campus Improvement Plans]

TEAM YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS? MRS. RUNKLE? THANK YOU, MRS. SEDILLO. I KNOW WE SPOKE EARLIER TODAY ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS WHAT THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN LOOKS LIKE IN A PRINTED COPY.

I WENT THROUGH THESE NOT EVERY AS MUCH AS I COULD, BUT I REALLY FOCUSED ON THE WRITING STRATEGIES PER CAMPUS AND REALLY DOVE INTO WHAT THOSE STRATEGIES WERE.

AND THERE WERE SOME REALLY GREAT ONES THAT HAD INDICATORS ON IF WE THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR OR AT THE END OF THIS QUARTER OR WHATNOT.

AND THEN THERE WERE SOME THAT WERE VERY JUST KIND OF, YEAH, GENERIC.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MORE, MORE TEETH BEHIND THE WRITING STRATEGIES.

AND AND ALSO THERE ARE SOME CAMPUSES THAT DON'T HAVE A WRITING STRATEGY, AND I WON'T POINT THOSE OUT.

BUT IF YOU I HAVE I HAVE MADE NOTE OF THEM.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THEM THAT HAVE I'VE I'VE TAKEN NOTE OF, BUT I WOULD THESE WERE GREAT.

THERE'S SO MUCH WORK THAT IS PUT INTO THESE.

AND YOU CAN TELL I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE WRITING PIECE FROM THE.

AND LIKE I SAID, SOME OF THESE CAMPUSES ARE AMAZING.

THEY'VE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM SOME OF THE OTHERS.

ABSOLUTELY. IF YOU CAN SEND ME THAT LIST AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

I KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM HAVE UPDATED THE CIP AS WE SPEAK, AND SO WE'LL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATED COPY AS WELL.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE CIPS? ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVE TO APPROVE ALL OF THE 2022-2023 CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. MOVED BY MRS. RUNKLE, SECONDED BY DR.

PEREZ GONZALEZ.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES FOR VARIOUS DISTRICT RENOVATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING

[M.5. Consideration and possible approval of expenditures for various district renovation projects including exterior door identification signage district-wide - Jamail & Smith]

MAX CLEAVER AND JERI SKROCKI ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

TEAM, THIS IS ON PAGE 88 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET.

MR. CLEAVER, WELCOME TO THE PODIUM.

[INAUDIBLE] DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR SIGNAGE OR THIS PROCUREMENT WITH JAMAIL AND SMITH CONSTRUCTION? GREAT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION TO THE BOARD MOVE TO APPROVE JAMAIL AND SMITH CONSTRUCTION LP FOR PROJECTS DISTRICT WIDE TO INCLUDE YEAR TO DATE EXPENDITURES.

THE INSTALLATION OF EXTERIOR DOOR IDENTIFICATION SIGNAGE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SECURITY PROJECT CONTINGENCY FOR A COST NOT TO EXCEED $178,937.25 AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MR. VELA, SECONDED BY MR. MCMANUS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MRS. OROSCO.

MR. CLEAVER, WHAT IS THE TIME LINE WE VOTE ON IT TODAY.

HOW SOON CAN THEY START WORKING ON IT? I BELIEVE THEY'LL TRY TO START WORKING ON THESE OVER EITHER THANKSGIVING BREAK OR WINTER BREAK.

WILL YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE AND LET US KNOW WHAT THE TIMELINE LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THEY ANTICIPATED TURNAROUNDS IS GOING TO BE? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

[01:50:04]

[M.6. Consideration and possible approval of expenditures for sidewalk and driveway installation and repair as needed district wide - Pavecon]

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? MRS. RUNKLE. YES, I SUBMITTED SOME QUESTIONS ONLINE, BUT I KNOW YOU ALL HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEND THEM.

WE ALREADY ANSWERED THEM. I THINK THE QUESTION WAS WHAT BUDGET WAS THIS GOING TO COME FROM? AND THIS IS ALL GENERAL FUND BUDGETS, ALL GENERAL FUND BUDGET FUND.

WHAT ELSE STANDING PROJECTS ARE THERE TO STILL BE DONE THAT AREN'T ON THIS LIST? SO AN UNDEFINED PROJECT IS BASICALLY A PROJECT THAT I DON'T KNOW.

AND I WASN'T BEING I WAS BEING TRUTHFUL WHEN I SAID UNDEFINED MEANS BASICALLY IT JUST HADN'T BEEN BROKEN YET OR IT'S NOT BROKEN YET.

SO IT'S THINGS THAT WE WILL REPAIR IN THE FUTURE THAT WE JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT YET.

AND THE REASON WE CHOSE $40,000 IS BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT WHAT WE SPENT LAST YEAR.

AND THE CAMPUSES THAT YOU'VE LISTED ON THIS TRANSMITTAL, THOSE ARE ONES THAT YOU JUST FOUND OUT THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

THANK YOU. MR. SEVERANCE. MR. RUNKLE, I JUST WANTED TO I THINK I CAN ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTION.

AND I REMEMBER BEING ON THE FDOC WHEN WE DID THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE OPEN.

JOHNSON WHEN WE WERE PUSHING BAND EQUIPMENT FROM JOHNSON TO THE FIELD, WE REALIZED THAT THERE WERE SOME CURB CUTS THAT WEREN'T DONE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW, LIKE THE WAY THE CAMPUS FLOWED WITH EQUIPMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES, LIKE WITH SOME FIELD THAT YOU MIGHT NEED ANOTHER CURB OR A CURB CUT OR SOMETHING.

AND I DO KNOW I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT THAT WAS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US, THE FDOC, THAT WHY THESE THINGS COME UP THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW YET SO.

THAT'S RIGHT. OR SOMEONE DOES DONUTS IN A PARKING LOT ON THE WEEKEND AND BREAK SOMETHING .

WHAT? DON'T GIVE ANYBODY ANY IDEAS.

WELL, I MEAN, TO THAT TO THAT POINT, WHEN YOU SAY CURB CUTS.

SO IN FRONT OF CARPENTER HILL, ALL THAT THERE'S SO MUCH CURB THAT'S LIKE CRUSHED AND CRACKED AND TERRIBLE.

DOES THAT KIND OF FALL INTO THESE KIND OF REPAIRS? IT COULD BUT THAT PARTICULAR ONE, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CALICUT DEVELOPERS TO SEE WHAT WE CAN HAVE THEM PAY FOR.

INTERESTING. GOOD JOB.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THE BOARD MOVED TO APPROVE THE PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION AND IMPROVEMENTS OF SIDEWALKS AND DRIVEWAYS AS NEEDED FROM PAVE CON LTD NOT TO EXCEED $87,865 AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

WE HAVE ONE MORE ACTION ITEM.

TEAM, CAN WE GET THROUGH IT AND THEN TAKE A QUICK BREAK? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS OUR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF A GMP FOR THE 2021 BOND PROJECT AT WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

[M.7. Consideration and possible approval of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 1 for 2021 Bond Project - Wallace Middle School]

THIS IS ON PAGE 92 OF YOUR BOARD BOOK, AND WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.

UNLESS MR. CLEAVER, YOU HAVE ANYTHING I JUST WANT ONE QUICK THING ON PAGE 93.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS TRULY A, YOU KNOW, AN IN-PROCESS SO WHERE IT SAYS BOARD CONSIDERATION OF GMP TWO THAT'S STILL TRUE.

THAT WILL BE IN DECEMBER FOR STEEL BUT THEN WE'LL PROBABLY ALSO THEN HAVE A GMP THREE ON THIS ONE.

SO WE'LL COME BACK IN DECEMBER FOR STEEL, WHICH IS ANOTHER LONG LEAD ITEM.

AND THEN I BELIEVE WE'RE COMING BACK IN EITHER MARCH, FEBRUARY OR MARCH.

BUT I WILL HAVE THAT ON THE DECEMBER AGENDA ITEM TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT WILL DO.

WE NORMALLY HAVE TWO AND THREE GMPS.

WE HAVE HAD THREE GMP AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, BUT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PROJECTS WITH TWO GMPS, AND I THINK THAT'S KIND OF THE NEW NORMAL.

POSSIBLY, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE.

MRS. MRS. OROSCO.

MAX, OF COURSE, I WANT TO ASK YOU.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS INCLUDES THAT STAGE.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT AS WELL AS MIDDLE SCHOOL.

IT DOES. IT IS TAKEN CARE OF.

YES, MA'AM. IT'S INCLUDED IN THIS.

IT WILL BE IN GMP THREE.

I WANT TO GET HIS WORDS ON RECORD SO I CAN READ IT.

I JUST WANT TO. YES, MA'AM.

I TOLD YOU I WOULD ASK YOU AT EVERY MEETING.

ABSOLUTELY. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD MOVE TO APPROVE THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.

[01:55:02]

MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY DR.

PEREZ-GONZALEZ. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 7-0.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE ARE THROUGH OUR ACTION ITEMS. THE TIME IS 8:45.

LET'S TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE BREAK AND COME BACK AT 8:50.

HEY, I'M REAL EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEXT ITEM.

IT'S 8:51 WE'RE BACK.

FIRST READING OF CHANGES TO BOARD POLICY EIF LOCAL.

[N.1. First Reading of changes to Board Policy EIF(LOCAL)]

AND SO DR. WRIGHT, TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU. SO THIS ORIGINATED JUST FROM KIND OF OUT-OF-THE-BOX THINKING.

AND FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE ATTENDED THE THE BOARD AND STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL MEETINGS, WE JUST STARTED BRAINSTORMING.

AND ACTUALLY ESPERANZA CAME UP WITH THE IDEA AND SAID, YOU KNOW, HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE IF OUR KIDS WOULD LEAVE SCHOOL VOLUNTEERING IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE SOME SERVICE HOURS THAT THEY COULD DEMONSTRATE ON THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, THEIR RESUMES FOR WHAT WHATEVER THE NEXT STEP MAY BE FOR THEM? LOOKS GOOD FOR A JOB.

IT LOOKS GOOD FOR SO MANY THINGS.

BUT ALSO WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT SERVICE ABOVE SELF AND DOING THINGS FOR OTHERS AND FOCUSING ON SOMETHING THAT'S JUST BIGGER THAN ME.

AND AND SO WE POSED, HAVING REQUIRED VOLUNTEER SERVICE HOURS TO OUR STUDENT STUDENTS ON THE PANEL.

AND AND THEN WE KIND OF ASKED THEM WHAT WHAT WOULD BE A NUMBER THAT THEY FELT WAS DOABLE.

AND THEN HOW SHOULD WE WRITE THE ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES TO REFLECT WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? AND SO BASICALLY WHAT CAME OUT OF THE SESSION WITH OUR KIDS IS THAT WE SHOULD REQUIRE 10 HOURS PER YEAR WITH A TOTAL OF 40 OVER FOUR YEARS, BUT WE SHOULD TRANSITION, BEGINNING WITH THE CLASS OF 2027.

AND WE ARE WORKING, I THINK, THROUGH SCHOOL LENGTHS TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE HOURS.

AND SO WE WOULD ACTUALLY REQUIRE TEN PER YEARS AND TEN PER YEAR.

AND WE WILL COME UP WITH ALL OF THIS IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS.

BUT THE KIDS FELT LIKE IF IF THEY ALLOWED THOSE TO ACCUMULATE AND THEY HAD TO DO THEM AT THE LAST MINUTE, THEY MAY PROCRASTINATE AND NOT EVER DO THEM.

AND SO WE DECIDED THAT TEN PER YEAR WOULD BE DOABLE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE RECOMMENDING.

AND THEN WE WILL PRORATE THOSE.

SO SAY A SENIOR MOVES FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT THE LAST HALF OF THEIR SENIOR YEAR, THEN THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE TO DO FIVE TOTAL FOR THAT YEAR.

SO THEY WOULD BE PRORATED.

AND AND WE REALLY THINK THIS WILL HELP PROMOTE THAT, THAT ATTITUDE OF SERVICE AND GET KIDS INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUIRE IT ULTIMATELY TO OUR GRADUATION STANDARDS.

AND AND SO WHAT YOU SEE ON PAGE 98 IN BLUE, WE ADDED IN VOLUNTEER HOURS AND BASICALLY IT SAYS, BEGINNING WITH THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2027, A STUDENT MUST COMPLETE THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER HOURS AS REQUIRED BY THE DISTRICT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADMIN REGULATIONS.

AND SO WE'RE DOING THIS AS INFORMATION TONIGHT SO THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO YOU IN DECEMBER.

AND BY THAT TIME WE SHOULD HAVE OUR ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FINISHED SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE JIVE WITH THIS, THIS POLICY.

SO IS THAT IS THAT A GOOD OVERVIEW? YES, THAT WAS PERFECT, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'LL WANT TO SEE MAYBE SOME OF THE DETAILS IN THE ADMIN REGULATION AND THE STUDENTS AND THE STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL WERE REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

THEY AND THEY WERE THE ONES PUSHING LIKE, DON'T LET US HAVE ALL FOUR YEARS TO DO 40 HOURS BECAUSE WE'LL JUST WAIT UNTIL OUR SENIOR YEAR.

AND THEN IT KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF GETTING INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY, MAYBE DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CLOTHES CLOSET OR HEY, HOPE TO GO OR THE CHURCH THAT YOU BELONG TO THAT YOU'VE NEVER STEPPED UP TO VOLUNTEER AT.

RIGHT. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, YOUR CAMPUS.

I MEAN, YOU'RE YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE A BAND KID OR IF YOU'RE AN ATHLETICS KID, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT THOSE BOOSTER ORGANIZATIONS.

YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF GRACE AND FLEXIBILITY WITH WHAT CONSTITUTES VOLUNTEER HOURS.

[02:00:01]

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY ALL OF US ARE VOLUNTEERS HERE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND WE DIDN'T SHOW UP ONE DAY AND DECIDE THIS IS OUR FIRST VOLUNTEER GIG.

ALL OF US HAVE LOGGED THOUSANDS OF HOURS, I WOULD PROBABLY GUESS, IN VOLUNTEER WORK OUTSIDE OF THIS SERVICE.

AND I THINK IT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR COMMUNITIES TO TO HAVE KIND OF A A SERVANT LEADER REQUIREMENT.

FRANKLY. I LOVE IT.

I LOVE IT. AND I LOVE THAT THIS CAME FROM OUR STUDENTS.

AND MRS. OROSCO, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS YOU WERE ONE OF YOUR BRAIN.

BRAIN CHILDS. BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST SELFLESS SERVANT LEADERS I KNOW.

SO AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL SEND A LOT OF PEOPLE TO HAYS TO GO AND CLOTHS CLOSET.

AND I'M ASSUMING THAT NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, I MEAN, THOSE FOLKS ARE ALREADY DOING A TON OF HOURS.

THAT'S ALREADY GOING TO COUNT. SO THIS IS AN OVER AND ABOVE NHS HOURS WOULD BE MY GUESS.

CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO BE REALLY FLEXIBLE WITH HOW THEY EARN THEIR HOURS.

IT CAN BE THROUGH THEIR EXISTING ORGANIZATION.

IT CAN BE THROUGH A CHURCH.

IT COULD BE THROUGH THE CITY OR A COUNTY ORGANIZATION.

IT COULD BE JUST I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO BE REAL FLEXIBLE AS LONG AS THEY'RE GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN SOME WAY.

AND THERE WILL BE A CORD ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AT GRADUATION AS WELL.

I LOVE IT. ALL RIGHT.

MRS. RUNKLE, YOU HAD A QUESTION OR COMMENT.

YEAH. THAT'S AMAZING.

I'M SO EXCITED.

MY, I HAVE ONE KID THAT ALREADY GRADUATED, BUT I WILL HAVE A KID THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS, AND THE DISTRICT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS SERVICE HOURS.

SO IT'S GREAT.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION THAT WE DO HAVE SOME BOOSTERS ACROSS OUR DISTRICT THAT DO SCHOLARSHIPS AND SOME OF THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS.

THERE ARE VOLUNTEER HOUR REQUIREMENTS.

SO WILL YOU COMMUNICATE WITH OUR BOOSTERS AND OUR ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO SCHOLARSHIPS BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE TO REVAMP WHAT THEIR HOURS LOOK LIKE WITH SERVICE HOURS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOME OF THOSE ARE A REQUIREMENT, BUT IT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO OUR GRADUATION PLAN AS WELL.

THANKS. OR THE HOPE WOULD BE THEY WOULD GET MORE PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER.

TOTALLY. ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

BUT WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING IS IF TENS OF MINIMUM, MAYBE THEY NEED TO REQUIRE FIFTEEN OR THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

OR GO ABOVE AND BEYOND.

RIGHT. YES. MR. BAILEY HAD A QUESTION OR COMMENT.

YEAH. I JUST WANT TO SAY, WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, IT REMINDED ME OF THE THE VISION STATEMENT THAT WE JUST ADOPTED BACK IN AUGUST AND THAT ALL HAYS CISD LEARNERS WILL BE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, SO PREPARED FOR CCMR, BUT ALSO JUST PREPARED FOR LIFE AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS CITIZENSHIP.

YOU KNOW, MS. PETREA, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE ARE WE'RE A COMMUNITY AND AND THIS IS IMPORTANT.

SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU ALL FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

I YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'LL JUST SAY I LOOK FORWARD TO PUTTING THIS TO VOTE AND LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT OUR GRADUATING CLASSES WILL BE DOING.

SO. GOOD JOB.

MR. MCMANUS.

YEAH, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHER DISCUSSIONS, BUT I WAS AT THE ONE WHERE THEY REALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS AND I JUST WANT TO PUT OUT THERE.

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION THAT THE STUDENTS HAD.

I THINK WE'RE SOMETIMES A LITTLE QUICK TO ASSUME, YOU KNOW, THE LEVEL OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THOUGHTFULNESS THAT THEY PUT TO THINGS.

AND I WAS REALLY, I WILL SAY, A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

I EXPECTED THAT GROUP TO HAVE THAT SORT OF DISCUSSION, BUT IT WAS NICE TO HAVE IT REINFORCED AND TO SEE IT IN ACTION.

AND IF THERE'S ANY PARENTS OF STUDENTS THAT ARE ON THAT ADVISORY PANEL, BE BE PROUD OF YOUR STUDENT.

THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME REALLY THINKING ABOUT THINGS, THINKING ABOUT HOW OTHER STUDENTS ARE GOING TO RESPOND TO WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND THEY THREW A LOT OUT, A LOT OF IDEAS, AND REALLY, I THOUGHT, THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED WHAT MADE THE MOST SENSE FOR US AS A COMMUNITY AND THEM AS A STUDENT BODY.

SO GOOD JOB, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OROSCO.

IT'S DEFINITELY A WIN ALL AROUND, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT SERVES MULTIPLE PURPOSES WITH OUR 100% HAYS CISD INITIATIVE AND GETTING THEM INVOLVED WITH AN ORGANIZATION OR A CLUB OR SOMETHING.

SO IT SERVES THAT PURPOSE AND THEN DEFINITELY SETS THE EXAMPLE OF SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

AND I LOVE THAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS SAID, WELL, WHAT IF I VOLUNTEER ALL 40 HOURS IN MY FRESHMAN YEAR? IS THAT OKAY? ABSOLUTELY. WE LOVE IT.

BUT IF THEY DID THAT, THEY'LL PROBABLY WANT TO VOLUNTEER THE NEXT YEAR AND THE NEXT YEAR.

SO THAT WAS EXCITING TO HEAR THAT CONVERSATION.

BUT DEFINITELY EXEMPLIFYING SERVICE ABOVE SELF, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES HAYS CISD COMMUNITY SO GREAT BECAUSE ALL THE TIME THERE IS A NEED.

OUR FOLKS HELP US FILL THAT NEED.

[02:05:01]

AND I KNOW LOTS OF FOLKS ARE GOING TO LOVE DOING SERVICE WITH THEIR WITH THEIR OWN CHILD.

I KNOW WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT COME IN AND VOLUNTEER AS A FAMILY AND STARTING YOUNG AND IT'S GREAT.

WE'RE PUTTING AN IMPORTANCE ON IT AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT.

AND DR. WRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR LEADING BY EXAMPLE, BECAUSE DR.

WRIGHT VOLUNTEERS HIS TIME AND EFFORTS AT THE CLOTHES CLOSET AND HE'S HOPE TO GO, WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU ON WEDNESDAY.

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT SICK, BUT HE'S ALWAYS THERE, RAIN OR SHINE, HELPING AND BEING THAT EXAMPLE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO IT STARTS FROM THE TOP DOWN.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. MR. SEVERANCE. OKAY.

SO I LOVE THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS BECAUSE, LIKE, GROWING UP, LIKE WITH MY KIDS, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS DID.

WE WERE ALWAYS KIND OF ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, WHATNOT, BUT WE ALWAYS DRUG OUR KIDS ALONG.

RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, NOW OUR KIDS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A THEY UNDERSTAND LIKE WHAT SERVICE MEANS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR THEY COME BACK, THEY'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, HEY, CAN WE HELP OUT WITH SOMETHING FOR CHRISTMAS OR THE HOLIDAYS OR WHATEVER? AND SO WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS IS I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN I MEAN, I THINK INTERNALLY THERE MIGHT BE SOME VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISTRICT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MANDEVILLE, I MEAN, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, IT'S MY SON.

INSTEAD OF DOING STUDENT AID HIS SENIOR YEAR, HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO WALK OVER TO CARPENTER HILL AND HAVE A TWO OR THREE KIDS ASSIGNED TO HIM FROM IN THIRD GRADE.

FROM A READING STANDPOINT, THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, USE THE SENIORS WHEN THEY'RE IN THAT DOWNTIME THAT WANT MORE HOURS TO ACTUALLY.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LOGISTICS ARE MOVING KIDS AROUND THE DISTRICT FOR STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT I JUST THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR OLDER KIDDOS THAT CAN MOVE AROUND.

THEY CAN DRIVE, GO TO OUR CAMPUSES THAT ARE HAVING READING OR MATH OR WHATEVER, AND THEY CAN GET VOLUNTEER HOURS FOR HELPING THOSE OTHER KIDS.

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST THOUGHT THAT'D BE SOMETHING.

WE COULD AT LEAST THROW THAT OUT THERE AND TALK ABOUT IT.

SO ANYWAY, I LOVE I LOVE THIS PROGRAM A LOT.

I LOVE THAT IDEA SO MUCH.

I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING SIMILARLY, LIKE MY DAUGHTER LOVES TO GO HELP THE TEACHERS IN THE SUMMER, GO SET UP THEIR CLASSROOMS. AND I KNOW A LOT OF OUR TEACHER KIDS DO THAT AND THEY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GET HOURS FOR DOING THAT.

BUT YES, I MEAN, TO YOUR POINT THERE, THEY HAVE AN OFF PERIOD AS A SENIOR.

THEY HAVE A CAR THEY CAN WALK TO CARPENTER HILL, THEY CAN DRIVE OVER TO MCCORMICK OR WHATEVER.

I MEAN, I LOVE THAT IDEA SO MUCH.

SO, YEAH, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES WITH HOW WE CAN FULFILL THOSE HOURS SO.

ALL RIGHT. SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST INFORMATIONAL.

WE WILL GET MORE DETAILS ON THE ADMIN GUIDELINES FOR THIS AND VOTE IN DECEMBER.

OKAY. NEXT UP N2.

[N.2. Update on Teacher Incentive Allotment]

I ASKED DR. MEDINA TO GIVE US A REMINDER AND A REFRESHER ON THIS.

SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROGRAM.

I'VE HAD SOME QUESTIONS FROM TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT, AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR US AS A BOARD TO GET A QUICK OVERVIEW ABOUT IT.

AND SO, DR.

MEDINA, I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

SURE. THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT PETRIE, DR.

WRIGHT, AND BOARD MEMBERS, WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE AND HAVE AN AUDIENCE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE STAYED UP TO LISTEN TO THIS, BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE AROUND TIA.

SO TONIGHT WITH ME, I HAVE MS. MARY TORRES, WHO IS OUR HR COORDINATOR THAT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTING TONIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN OVER THE MIC TO HER IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE OF POINTS, AND ONE OF THEM IS, IS THAT TIA IS CROSS FUNCTIONAL WORK.

AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THAT NO DEPARTMENT OWNS THIS WORK ALONE.

WE. JEANNIE ALVARADO HAS BEEN CRITICAL IN DATA COLLECTION.

DANA BRAUN HAS BEEN AMAZING IN HELPING US PUT DATA TOGETHER.

MARTY ROUSE SETTING UP ALL THE SYSTEMS, AND KEVIN MALANDRUCCOLO RUNNING SEVERAL REPORTS FOR US AND ENSURING THAT OUR UPLOAD IS IS ACCURATE, BUT ALSO OUR TEACHERS OUT THERE PARTICIPATING AND IN THE TIA PROCESS, OUR PRINCIPALS ALSO ENSURING THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AND US WORKING WITH THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION.

SO THIS IS DEFINITELY CROSS-FUNCTIONAL WORK.

IT'S NOT THE WORK OF ANY ONE DEPARTMENT.

SO I WANTED TO MENTION THAT.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING FOR ANYONE LISTENING IS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT WILL PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT IS VERY PRELIMINARY.

WE WERE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT OUR RECOMMENDED DESIGNATIONS THAT WILL BE FINALIZED IN FEBRUARY.

SO ANYTHING THAT YOU HEAR IN TERMS OF DESIGNATIONS OR WHAT I HAVE PROVIDED, WHAT OUR OFFICE HAS PROVIDED TO YOU IS COMPLETELY RECOMMENDED AND IT'S TENTATIVE UNTIL TEA MAKES IT OFFICIAL IN FEBRUARY.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN OVER THE MICROPHONE OVER TO MARY TORRES.

THANK YOU, MARY.

[02:10:01]

WRIGHT. I WANT TO START BY INTRODUCING MYSELF.

I'M MARY TORRES AND I'M THE HR PROJECT MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, AND I AM NEW TO THE DISTRICT HERE AT HAYS CISD.

SO I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE SEPTEMBER, AND I CONTINUE TO ASK DR.

MEDINA, HOW LONG DO I GET TO SAY THAT I'M NEW? AND EVERY DAY HE TELLS ME, ONE MORE DAY YOU GET ONE MORE DAY TO SAY YOU'RE NEW.

SO I'M STILL NEW.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

I COME FROM OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

I'VE WORKED IN HUMAN RESOURCES AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL IN ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I HAVE ALSO WORKED IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR MANY YEARS AND LOVE THAT.

OH, AND I WAS A CLASSROOM TEACHER AS WELL.

I TAUGHT THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE AND HAVE MOVED ON INTO HUMAN RESOURCES, EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND DIRECTOR OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION.

SO I'M BACK HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS AND I'M HAPPY, SUPER HAPPY TO BE HERE AT HAYS CISD AND ESPECIALLY GETTING TO WORK IN THIS PROGRAM TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, WHERE I'VE WORKED HEAVILY WITH DR. MEDINA BECAUSE IT'S ALL GREAT NEWS.

IT'S WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS AND BUILD THEM AND INCENTIVIZE THEM.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I REMIND MYSELF ALL THE TIME.

THIS IS THE GREAT PART.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO IN HUMAN RESOURCES, WE HAVE A MISSION, AND THROUGH TIA, WE'RE ABLE TO HELP LIVE OUR MISSION BY BUILDING AND SUPPORTING TEACHERS, BY GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND LEARN, AND AS WELL AS SUPPORTING THEM AND INCENTIVIZING THEM WITH THEIR SALARY AND COMPENSATION.

NEXT SLIDE. SO TONIGHT WE'LL GO OVER WHAT HAS HAYS CISD DONE IN THE PAST TO HELP BUILD THIS PLAN.

WHERE ARE WE NOW AND WHERE ARE WE GOING IN THE FUTURE WITH TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT? NEXT SLIDE. SO TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT IS A WAY OR A PATHWAY FOR TEACHERS TO POTENTIALLY REACH A SIX FIGURE SALARY. IT ALSO HELPS HAYS CISD BY BEING A PARTICIPATING DISTRICT TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TEACHERS BY TELLING THEM WE ARE PARTICIPATING THE DISTRICT OF TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, AND THEN IT HELPS US ALSO TO FILL THOSE TRADITIONALLY HARD TO STAFF SCHOOLS.

NEXT SLIDE. SO HOW DO TEACHERS RECEIVE AN ALLOTMENT? FIRST, THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE A DESIGNATION AND THE THREE DESIGNATIONS ARE HERE: RECOGNIZED, EXEMPLARY AND MASTER, AND THE RANGES YOU SEE ARE THE RANGES THAT TEACHERS CAN EARN THROUGHOUT THE STATE BASED ON THE DESIGNATION THAT THEY HAVE EARNED, AND NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DESIGNATED AS RECOGNIZED.

NEXT SLIDE, AND SO THESE DESIGNATIONS, I SEE THE THUMBS UP.

I HAVE BEEN IN SOME OF HER CLASSES AND IT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT.

SO I DO KNOW DR.

[INAUDIBLE] SO THAT'S BEEN GREAT TO GET TO KNOW HER.

[INAUDIBLE] SHOUT OUT TO DR.

[INAUDIBLE].

SO HOW DO TEACHERS EARN AN ALLOTMENT? WELL, THE STATE HAS SET FORTH CRITERIA THAT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE TO FOLLOW, AND THEN THEY ALSO GIVE EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT THE FLEXIBILITY TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN LOCAL PLAN.

AND SO ULTIMATELY, TEACHERS HAVE TO HAVE A TEACHER PERFORMANCE MEASURE AND THEY MUST HAVE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE.

ALONG WITH THAT IN AT HAYS CISD.

THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE IN AN ELIGIBLE TEACHING ASSIGNMENT AND THEY'RE LISTED THERE FOR YOU FOUR THROUGH EIGHT READING AND MATH, ALGEBRA ONE OR AND OF COURSE ENGLISH TOO. SO THIS IS A CRITERIA FOR 21-22.

NEXT SLIDE. SO WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR ONE YEAR CYCLE OR A CYCLE OF CAPTURING DATA AND SUBMITTING OUR FILE, AND THESE ARE 21-22 PRELIMINARY RESULTS.

SO 80 TEACHERS HAVE RECEIVED A RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION, WHICH IS THE TOP 30% OF THE TEACHERS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE AT HAYS CISD.

SO THAT WAS 80 OUT OF 269 TEACHERS THAT RECEIVED A RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION.

269 OUT OF APPROXIMATELY 1,500 TEACHERS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR A DESIGNATION, AND 21 OUT OF 24 CAMPUSES HAD AT LEAST ONE TEACHER WITH THE RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION.

SO THAT IS GREAT NEWS.

THE NEXT SLIDE BREAKS IT DOWN FOR YOU MORE BY CAMPUS, AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, BLANCO VISTA HAS SIX TEACHERS THAT RECEIVED A RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION, AND THEIR ALLOTMENT RANGE PER TEACHER IS BETWEEN 4,220 TO $16,068. YOU ALSO HAVE AN ATTACHMENT THAT THEN BREAKS IT DOWN BY CAMPUS TO SHOW YOU HOW MANY RECOGNIZED EXEMPLARY AND MASTER TEACHERS WERE DESIGNATED AT EACH CAMPUS.

[02:15:02]

MEDINA SAID, THESE ARE PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND ARE TENTATIVE, BUT THIS CAN REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT ANY TEACHER'S SALARY.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, OVER AT BLANCO VISTA, WE HAVE A TEACHER THAT WITH THEIR BASE SALARY AND STIPENDS AND AN ALLOTMENT WOULD EARN APPROXIMATELY $84,000 FOR THEIR ANNUAL SALARY, AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, AS LONG AS THEY'RE IN THE SAME POSITION AT THAT CAMPUS.

SO IT'S A GREAT IMPACT, AND IF YOU GO TO THE TEA WEBSITE, YOU'LL READ A LOT OF TESTIMONIALS OF TEACHERS OF HOW THIS PARTICIPATING IN TIA CAN BE LIFE CHANGING FOR THEM.

NO, AND IT'S TRS ELIGIBLE.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF THINGS TO CELEBRATE.

WE FOUND SO MANY GREAT REASONS TO CELEBRATE, AS WELL AS AREAS THAT WE CAN GROW.

SO TO CELEBRATE SOMETHING AMAZING IS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND CELEBRATED AND NOT JUST BY A WORD RECOGNIZED, BUT THROUGH ACTUAL COMPENSATION, AND IT'S ALSO ALLOWED FOR SOME AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR TIA STEERING COMMITTEE. SO THEY DESERVE A LOT OF APPLAUSE AND RECOGNITION AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY'VE SPENT TIME OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL WORKING WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND THE COMMITTEE TO HELP DEVELOP OUR LOCALLY OR TO HELP DEVELOP OUR PLAN AT HAYS CISD.

SO A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK AND A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THEM.

IN AREAS TO GROW.

WE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF QUESTIONS, A LOT OF WONDERINGS, AND IT REALLY SHOWED THE NEED FOR AN INCREASE IN COMMUNICATION, EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT AROUND TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

BUT NOT JUST TIA, REALLY, ANY OF THE GREAT PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO FACULTY AND STAFF AND ALL EMPLOYEES AT HAYS CISD HAYS CISD WHICH LED TO THE CREATION OF MY POSITION.

SO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

COMMUNICATION, ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION.

SO IN MY POSITION, ONE OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO COMMUNICATE, FIND DIFFERENT WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH FACULTY, STAFF AND ALL OUR EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS EDUCATE THEM AROUND THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS GOING ON AT HAYS CISD AND TO EDUCATE THEM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE.

WE HAVE THIS IN TWO COLUMNS WHERE WHAT WE WERE DOING HAYS CISD IS ALREADY DOING BY CREATING A [INAUDIBLE] COURSE, PROVIDING INFORMATION THROUGH INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS, BUT NEW IS EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE SINCE I STARTED HERE.

SO SO I AM THE SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR A TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

SO ANYONE IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, ANY ONE OF YOU COULD COME TO ME AND ASK QUESTIONS.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT A PROGRAM OR A TIA.

WE'VE ALSO CREATED HAYS BEAT THE HR PODCAST, AND I'M YOUR HOST, MARY TORRES.

SO WE ARE PUTTING OUT OUR NEXT EPISODE ON TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

SO WE'LL BE ON OUR SECOND EPISODE.

YOU CAN FIND THOSE LINKS ON OUR TIA WEB PAGE THAT'S NEWLY CREATED AS WELL AS ON SPOTIFY.

YOU CAN ALSO I'M ALSO GOING OUT TO THE CAMPUSES TO PRESENT ON TIA SO THAT THE TEACHERS REALLY GET TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM AND HOW THEY YOU CAN EARN A DESIGNATION ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES AND MATERIALS THAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON CREATING.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE TIA STEERING COMMITTEE HAS REALLY DONE A LOT OF WORK TO HELP CREATE THE PLAN, BUT ALSO CONTINUE TO REVISE THE PLAN AND REFINE IT AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND WE'RE ABLE TO INCLUDE MORE TEACHERS.

THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL.

SO FOR 22-23, WE ARE EXPANDING TIA TO INCLUDE PRE-K TEACHERS AS WELL AS KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE TEACHERS AND ENGLISH ONE.

SO NOW ALL OF THOSE TEACHERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION.

WE'VE ALSO ADOPTED TRANSITION TABLES TO DETERMINE STUDENT GROWTH, AND THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY TEA.

WE'RE ALSO MOVING TOWARDS FOCUSING ON DOMAINS TWO AND THREE IN T-TESTS, AND THOSE TWO DOMAINS FOCUS ON INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TO DETERMINE THE TEACHER PERFORMANCE. WE'RE ALSO IMPLEMENTING THE STATEWIDE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, WHICH GIVES US SOME MINIMUM STANDARDS TO START WITH, AND WE'RE ALSO IMPLEMENTING THIS YEAR A STANDARD OF FOUR CLASSES BEING TAUGHT INSTEAD OF THREE.

OTHER CHANGES THAT WE IDENTIFIED ARE BEING ABLE TO INCLUDE ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AT HAYS CISD SO THAT IF A TEACHER EARNS A DESIGNATION AT ONE

[02:20:06]

WE'RE ALSO PILOTING PRECISION EXAMS WITH CTE TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE THEM AS WELL.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO ON THE ROAD MAP, YOU CAN SEE WHERE WHAT WAS DONE TO HELP CREATE THE PROGRAM HERE OR DEVELOP THE LOCAL PROGRAM BY FORMING THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND GETTING THAT SUPPORT IN 2021-2022.

WE'VE CONTINUED TO GROW PLAN SESSIONS.

IT WAS OUR DATA CAPTURE YEAR AND THEN MOVING INTO 22-23, WE'VE ADDED ALL OF THESE EXTRA AROUND COMMUNITY EXCUSE ME, COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION AS WELL, AND IN FEBRUARY, AS DR.

MEDINA SAID, WE'LL GET OUR FINAL RESULTS.

IN MAY TEACHERS WILL HAVE THEIR RECOGNITION OF HAVING THEIR DESIGNATION ON THEIR CERTIFICATE, AND THEN IN JUNE, ALLOTMENTS CAN BE PAID. SO, YES.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

ON FRIDAY, TEACHERS RECEIVED THEIR SCORE CARD, WHICH GAVE THEM A LOT OF INFORMATION ON WHERE WHAT THE SCORE CARD WAS, HOW THE SCORE WAS DETERMINED, AS WELL AS RESOURCES AND LINKS TO THE HANDBOOK, TO THE WEB PAGE, TO THE TEA WEBSITE, AND THEN THE CALCULATION OF HOW WE DEVELOP THEIR SCORE WITH THEIR RECOMMENDED DESIGNATION.

SO THEY RECEIVED THAT ON FRIDAY, AND SO IT CAME FROM ME, AND SO I WAS WAITING OVER THE WEEKEND TO SEE HOW MANY EMAILS I WOULD GET ON MONDAY AND I WAS JUST WAITING TO SEE, AND SO I DID HAVE SEVERAL, MANY EMAILS ACTUALLY, BUT A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW DID THIS HOW DOES THIS WORK FOR ME? AND SO ALSO A LOT OF SCHOOLS ARE REACHING OUT TO ME BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

SO I'M I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO HELP THOSE TEACHERS RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THEY'VE THEY'RE ALL GETTING THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

NEXT SLIDE, AND SO CONTINUING TO THE FUTURE.

THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WE'RE WORKING ON TRYING TO FIND WAYS THAT ALL TEACHERS CAN BE INCLUDED IN TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT BY IDENTIFYING STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES FOR THOSE CLASSES AND THEN PILOTING THOSE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES , AND THEN ULTIMATELY, OUR GOAL IN 24-25 WOULD BE TO INCLUDE ALL TEACHERS IN ALL CONTENT AREAS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DESIGNATION, AND THAT IS THE CONCLUSION OF THIS OVERVIEW. PERFECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT PRESENTATION.

I'M HOPEFUL THAT OUR TRUSTEES LEARNED SOME THINGS.

I KNOW WE HAVE SOME FORMER TEACHERS THAT MAY KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS, BUT I, FOR ONE, AM NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS, AND SO I WAS HAPPY TO LEARN ABOUT IT.

SO I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL LET OUR TRUSTEES ASK FIRST.

I THINK I SAW SOME OVER HERE.

MRS. RUNKLE WAS AT YOU OR MR. VELA. MRS. RUNKLE, YOU GO FIRST.

NO, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

MY QUESTIONS WERE SUBMITTED ON BOARDWALK AND I'VE GOTTEN THOSE ANSWERS, SO I'M GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, MR. VELA. MRS. TORRES, THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO THE DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. THIS IS EXCITING AND YOU'VE GOT TO FORGIVE MY MATH HERE.

THE TOP 30% OF 269 IS 80.7.

SO ARE WE GOING TO RECOGNIZE 81 TEACHERS? I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE JUST BECAUSE WE WANT TO ROUND UP.

THERE'S NO POINT SEVEN TEACHERS.

IT'S 80.80.

SOME CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE WITH WITH SOME OF THAT IS SOMETIMES YOU GET TEACHERS THAT ARE CLUMPED, RIGHT? SO YOU MIGHT HAVE FOUR OR FIVE OR SIX THAT HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME.

SO IF YOU TAKE ONE AND SUDDENLY IT TAKES YOU TO 80 TO 35%, OH, WOW.

OKAY, SO WE MADE THAT ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION.

I WAS THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE OTHER QUESTION, BUT YES, BUT WE WERE WAITING FOR 80.7 JUST SO WE KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, BUT YEAH, NO, AND ACTUALLY, THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE COMING UP, YOU ANSWERED THEM, BUT I MEAN, SO GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE A PLAN THAT THIS IS NOT JUST FOR THOSE CURRENT CLASSES, YOU KNOW [INAUDIBLE].

RIGHT, BUT EVENTUALLY THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING ACROSS THE BOARD BY 2025 IS WHAT I HEARD.

RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT? THAT'S GREAT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US TO HELP PUT THIS INTO ACTION? WELL, I THINK THE POSITIVE SUPPORT THAT YOU'RE GIVING NOW IS GOING TO BE GREAT AS WELL AS YOU WANT TO JOIN IN.

I MEAN, I DID. I THINK JUST SUPPORT FROM THE BOARD IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE I THINK TEACHERS AND ANYBODY REALLY WHO'S NOT SURE IT CAN SOUND CONFUSING AND HOW DO I GET THIS? THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS I WAS GETTING, AND SO REALLY REFERRING PEOPLE TO BACK TO US IS HELPFUL.

[02:25:04]

OKAY, AND THEN REMIND ME, SO THE FUNDING FOR THIS, WHEN THOSE TEACHERS DO RECEIVE THEIR ALLOTMENT, WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM? SO THE STATE HAS WHAT THEY CALL A SETTLE UP IN SEPTEMBER OF FALL OF 2023, THEY WILL SETTLE UP WHAT WE ACTUALLY COMMITTED TO DISPERSING IN JUNE OF 2023.

SO IN FEBRUARY WE'LL RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS IN APRIL AND MAY THERE WILL BE DESIGNATIONS AND THEY WILL COMMUNICATE TO US WHAT THOSE AMOUNTS WILL BE AND THEN IN JUNE WE WILL ISSUE A LUMP SUM CHECK, AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT TEA IS NOT GOING TO SELECT, OH, WE ACCEPT THESE DESIGNATIONS OR THESE TEN; IT'S ALL OR NOTHING, AND ALSO TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A RIGOROUS STANDARD.

ABOUT 20% OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS AREN'T SELECTED, THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT ADOPTED, AND 80% OF THE DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN.

SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY I'M OPTIMISTIC ABOUT IT.

TEA DOESN'T WORK ALONE IN THAT PROCESS.

THEY HAVE ENGAGED WITH TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY TO BE THEIR VALIDATION KIND OF AGENT, AND SO OUR DATA IS SUBMITTED TO TEA, SUBMITTED TO TEXAS TECH.

IT GOES THROUGH FOUR DIFFERENT BIG TEST THAT THEY RUN THROUGH VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY KIND OF TEST, AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND THEY GIVE US THOSE RESULTS.

OKAY, DR. MEDINA, YOU KNOW THIS; [INAUDIBLE] YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME [INAUDIBLE].

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

SO OBVIOUSLY, WHEN WE DO THINGS HERE, WE EXPECT EXCELLENCE, WE INVEST IN EXCELLENCE, AND SO ARE WE A LEADER IN THIS PROCESS LIKE AMONGST OUR REGION? WE ARE, THERE'S 237.

I THINK YOU SAID 300. YEAH, THERE ARE I BELIEVE IT'S AROUND 300 DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

THERE ARE 1200 SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

IN MY MIND, THOSE ARE VERY FEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN IT BECAUSE IT'S A BIG COMMITMENT, AND SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ONE OF THE ITEMS IS DEVELOPED RECRUITING MATERIALS AROUND IT.

SO ONE OF OUR RECRUITING MATERIALS IS HAYS CISD IS A TIA PARTICIPANT, WHICH MEANS THAT SHE CAN EARN UPWARDS OF 30 PLUS THOUSAND DOLLARS IN OUR DISTRICT.

THAT'S HUGE, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT, GREAT.

I'LL SEE WHAT MY OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE AS FAR AS QUESTIONS, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION, AND AGAIN, WELCOME.

DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ.

OKAY, COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

NUMBER ONE, HOW ARE WE ENSURING CONSISTENCY WITH TEACHER EVALUATIONS ACROSS THE DISTRICT? SO THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE TEST THAT WILL BE RUN BY TEXAS TECH, AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY CHECK TO SEE THAT THERE'S A STRONG CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TEACHER EVALUATION AND ACTUALLY HOW STUDENTS PERFORM, AND THEY LOOK AT THEY DO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TO SEE THAT CORRELATION. SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RUN THAT OURSELVES AND WE BELIEVE WE HAVE A STRONG SUBMISSION.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

HOWEVER, THERE'S ALWAYS WE DID FIND OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE KIND OF DID QUESTION.

WE WANTED TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE CORRELATION, BUT WE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND WHY IN SOME CASES THERE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AND ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS THAT YOU MAY HAVE A HIGH PERFORMING CLASS, BUT IT MAY BE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THAT CAME IN TO ENSURE THOSE STUDENTS GREW.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE STATE ALSO SAID IS TO APPROACH THE DATA WITH SOME CAUTION BECAUSE WE CAME OUT OF COVID AND ACROSS THE STATE, THEY DID SEE INCREASE IN STUDENT GROWTH ACROSS THE STATE.

I WILL SAY, THOUGH, THAT RELATIVE TO THE STATE, OUR DISTRICT SAW INCREDIBLE GROWTH WITH OUR STUDENTS.

SO THAT ALSO MAY BE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TEACHER PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS THE STUDENT OUTCOMES.

[02:30:03]

WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT WITH PRINCIPALS IN THIS YEAR WITH DR.

DAWSON. WE'VE BEGUN TO DO THAT WITH OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS THROUGH THEIR ACADEMY AS WELL.

SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE'RE MOVING AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE EVALUATION PROCESS IN OUR DISTRICT, AND WE'VE ALSO LOOKED AT THE DATA ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO SEE WHERE THERE MIGHT BE SOME OUTLIERS, AND WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR ADMINISTRATORS AROUND THEIR DATA.

GREAT, THANK YOU. I STILL HAVE TWO MORE, SORRY.

WONDERING ABOUT THE CHANGE IN SECONDARY LEVEL GOING FROM THREE CLASSES TO FOUR.

YES. WE BELIEVE IN VISITING WITH CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION THAT FOUR CLASSES WAS A BETTER REPRESENTATION OF WHAT A TEACHER DID THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY, LIKE FOUR OUT OF THE EIGHT CLASSES OR EVEN FOUR OUT OF THE SEVEN CLASSES VERSUS THE THREE.

OKAY, AND LAST QUESTION.

THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR, IT'S T-TESS DOMAINS TWO AND THREE.

WAS IT THE SAME TWO DOMAINS LAST SCHOOL YEAR? NO, IT WAS ACTUALLY ALL 16 DOMAINS.

THAT WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY ASKED US TO LOOK AT.

OUR APPLICATION CONSIDERED ALL 16 DIMENSIONS.

SO THE FIRST DOMAIN HAD TO DEAL WITH, FOR EXAMPLE, INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING, BUT THE TWO DOMAINS THAT REALLY HAVE TO DO WITH INSTRUCTION OR DOMAIN TWO, WHICH IS LOOKING AT INSTRUCTION, AND THEN DOMAIN THREE, WHICH IS THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

THE OTHERS HAD TO DO WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ADHERENCE TO POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE TOOK THOSE OUT AND HONED IN ON JUST THE DOMAINS TWO AND THREE, SO THAT PERHAPS WE CAN SEE A STRONGER CORRELATION.

SO YOU MENTIONED EARLIER HOW TO ENSURE THAT THE EVALUATION IS RIGHT.

IF IT'S NOT CORRELATED, SOMETIMES IT COULD BE THAT THE OTHER DOMAINS MAY HAVE SKEWED THAT DATA.

SO IF WE LOOK AT INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT GROWTH, IT GIVES US A BETTER COMPARISON.

OKAY, WELL, IF THE STATE DID THE DOMAINS TWO AND THREE, THEY DID THAT WITH PURPOSE BECAUSE NATIONAL BOARDS, THERE'RE FOUR COMPONENTS, TWO OF THEIR COMPONENTS ARE INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND KNOW THAT IF THEY'RE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS IT'S AN AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION ON THEIR CERTIFICATE.

SO THEY ALREADY STARTED AT RECOGNIZED.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

THAT'S A HUGE PLUS FOR OUR TEACHERS.

SO [INAUDIBLE] WE'VE HIRED THAT'S NATIONAL [INAUDIBLE] KUDOS TO THEM AND THOSE THAT ARE PURSUING IT, THEY'RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB.

SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. MCMANUS? JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS.

ONE IS YOU HAD MENTIONED AS YOU WERE DOING YOUR--AND BY THE WAY, WELCOME TO THE DISTRICT--SOMETHING ABOUT FIVE YEARS, BUT YOU WENT BY REAL QUICK.

IS THAT HOW LONG A DESIGNATION LASTS? YES, ONCE A TEACHER IS DESIGNATED AND THEY ACTUALLY WILL CODE IT ON THEIR CERTIFICATE AS A RECOGNIZED AND EXEMPLARY MASTER'S TEACHER.

THAT DESIGNATION WILL BE GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS.

IT CAN GO UP, BUT IT CAN'T COME DOWN.

IT CAN'T GO UP WITHIN THE FIVE OR DOWN OR--IT CAN GO UP WITHIN THOSE FIVE YEARS.

THE OTHER THING IS THAT IF THEY ARE IN AN ELIGIBLE CAMPUS AND AN ELIGIBLE ASSIGNMENT TEACHING ASSIGNMENT IN TEAMS, IT'S CALLED 087, IF THEY'RE IN THAT AREA AND THE DISTRICT IS PARTICIPATING AND CAN GENERATE STUDENT GROWTH EVERY YEAR AND REPORT AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS, THEY CONTINUE TO GENERATE THAT REVENUE.

SO THAT'S HUGE BECAUSE THAT'S A RETENTION PIECE.

RIGHT. SO WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FIFTH YEAR? DO THEY REAPPLY OR ARE THEY RE-SELECTED? WE RESUBMIT. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, VERY GOOD.

LAST ONE IS, IS THERE A CAP ON THE PERCENTAGE OF TEACHERS PER DISTRICT THAT CAN BE IN THIS PROGRAM? YES THE AGENCY IS RECOMMENDING AT ABOUT 30%, BUT THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY REALLY USE IS THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE DESIGNATIONS ACROSS THE STATE, WHICH ARE ABOUT 30%.

OKAY, THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL.

THOSE WERE GREAT QUESTION. MRS. OROZCO. I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND SOME OF THEM THAT I'LL BE SUBMITTING.

SO IT SAYS RIGHT HERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO MISLEADING AND IT JUST DRIVES ME NUTS BECAUSE IT SAYS RIGHT HERE IT'S A PATHWAY TO EARN SIX FIGURE SALARIES, YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE THINKING, OH, HOW AM I GOING TO EARN A SIX FIGURE SALARIES WHEN THESE STIPENDS ARE LIKE $3,000 AND YOU

[02:35:01]

OR HOW WAS EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT TEACHERS ARE GOING TO EARN A SIX FIGURE SALARY.

WE KNOW THAT, AND I AND I'VE EXPERIENCED IT OFTENTIMES IN THE NORTH CENTRAL AREA THAT SALARIES DO START SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THEY DO IN THE CENTRAL TEXAS AREA, AND SO WE KNOW THAT THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE THEY'RE STARTING AT 60-$65,000 A YEAR AND THEY ARE THAT WITH THEIR STIPENDS, WITH THESE ALLOTMENTS, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TEACHERS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE THAT ARE MAKING THOSE DOLLARS.

I WOULD TELL YOU, I WAS TALKING TO A SUPERINTENDENT OUT IN FORT STOCKTON AND WHAT THEY'RE PAYING THEIR TEACHERS WHEN YOU ADD THESE ALLOTMENTS, BECAUSE THE ALLOTMENT IS ALSO BASED ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF WHERE THE CAMPUS IS LOCATED; THE MORE RURAL, THE MORE DOLLARS IT GENERATES.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, A CAMINO EXEMPLARY OR EVEN UHLAND EXEMPLARY TEACHER IS GOING TO GENERATE MORE DOLLARS THAN ANOTHER CAMPUS THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE RURAL-NESS TO IT, BUT ALSO THE NUMBER OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS ON THE CAMPUS.

SO IT'S HOW RURAL IS IT BECAUSE TEACHERS ARE HARD TO ATTRACT THERE, AND THEN WHAT IS THE SCHOOL MAKE UP IN TERMS OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS? AND THOSE ARE HARDER TO STAFF, OBVIOUSLY, AND SO THEY GENERATE A HIGHER ALLOTMENT, AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ABLE TO TOUT THAT.

SO LOTS OF CAVEATS, RIGHT? LOTS OF ASTERISKS BY THAT.

VERY MISLEADING STILL, AND IT'S NOT YOU ALL.

I MEAN, IT'S TEA THAT'S MISLEADING WITH THIS SIX FIGURE SALARY, BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU WERE TO BE IN THAT RURAL AREA GETTING 70,000, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A TEA MASTER TEACHER IN ORDER TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO MAKE IT OVER 100,000.

TEACHERS ARE NOT POCKETING ALL THIS MONEY AND ARE GETTING SIX FIGURES BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE WERE HEARING IN THE COMMUNITY.

WELL, THEY CAN MAKE SIX FIGURES.

WELL, YEAH, LOTS OF CAVEATS AND SIDE NOTES ON THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT MAKES A CAMPUS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. THE DISTRICT HAS ELECTED TO PARTICIPATE, AND SO IT'S EVERYONE OR OR NONE.

SO THAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO SHARE IS THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE RECEIVED, IS THAT A TEACHER AT A CAMPUS MIGHT SAY, I DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE THIS, I DON'T WANT TO BE EVALUATED. I WANT TO GO IN AN OFF CYCLE EVALUATION PROCESS, AND THAT'S BEEN A HARD MESSAGE TO DELIVER, TO SAY, ACTUALLY, WE DON'T HAVE AN OPTION.

WE'VE ELECTED AS A DISTRICT TO PARTICIPATE IN TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, AND THEREFORE WE HAVE TO GENERATE THESE DOLLARS OR THIS DATA.

BOTH TEACHER PERFORMANCE AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

SO WE HAVE ELECTED AS A DISTRICT TO DO IT, AND SO IT'S AN ALL OF THE ELIGIBLE ASSIGNMENT AREAS AND ELIGIBLE CAMPUSES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS.

BUT NOT EVERYBODY'S LISTED.

SO OUR APPLICATION DID NOT INCLUDE IMPACT AND SO IMPACT WOULD NOT BE LISTED.

SOME OF THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE NOT LISTED AS WELL BECAUSE SOME OF THE TEACHERS DID NOT MEET THE TOP 30% IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CAMPUS OR A TEACHER THAT WAS DESIGNATED DID NOT MEET THAT 30%, THEN NO ONE ON THEIR CAMPUS WAS DESIGNATED, 21 OUT OF THE 24 CAMPUSES. YES, BECAUSE I WAS COUNTING.

I'M LIKE, WELL, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE ON HERE.

SO I WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THAT.

SO I'LL SUBMIT THAT AS A QUESTION AND HOW MANY TEACHERS WILL BE ADDED FOR THE '23-24 SCHOOL YEAR BASED ON THAT CHANGE? TRUSTEE OROSCO, I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER MEMORIZED.

WE DO HAVE IT. WE DID RUN IT AND IF YOU'D ALLOW ME, I--NO PROBLEM, I'M GOING TO SUBMIT IT ANYWAY AND THEN I DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE WHAT THE BREAKDOWN IS IN REGARDS TO HOW MANY ARE TEA-RECOGNIZED AND MASTER AND SO ON.

I HAVE THESE QUESTIONS ON GOOGLE FORM.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, AND THEN THE OTHER ASPECT, I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD CONCERNS GOING INTO THIS IS HOW MUCH PAPERWORK WOULD IT BE FOR THE TEACHERS TO HAVE TO DO AND KEEP TRACK OF AND HOW MANY EXTRA MEETINGS AND SO ON AND AGAIN, YOU CAN DEFINITELY GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO ME IN BOARD BLOG, BUT I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BECAUSE WE'VE HAD OTHER GRANTS BEFORE OR OTHER INITIATIVES THROUGH TEA WHERE WE'VE HAD THEM FOR A WHILE, AND IT'S LIKE IT TURNED OUT TO BE SO MUCH WORK.

SO THEN WE DROPPED THEM AFTER TWO YEARS AND TEACHERS DID GET A PAYOUT, BUT IT WAS ONLY DESIGNATED SCHOOLS, BUT IT JUST TURNED OUT TO BE SO MUCH TO KEEP UP WITH, NOT ONLY

[02:40:08]

SO, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL AND OTHER THAN THE BENEFIT OF HAVING GREAT TEACHERS AND BEST PRACTICES AND EVERYBODY'S WORKING ON DATA AND KIDS, WHAT DOES THE DISTRICT ITSELF RECEIVE FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS? SO THE STEERING COMMITTEE DID ELECT A SPENDING PLAN THAT WAS PART OF OUR APPLICATION, AND OUR SPENDING PLAN WAS A 90/10 SPLIT, WHICH IS THE STATE RECOMMENDED SPLIT, AND THAT MEANS THAT 90% OF THE ALLOTMENT WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE TEACHER AND THE REMAINING 10% WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND TO ROLL OUT THE PROGRAM TO THE REMAINING TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT.

OKAY, GREAT. SO DEFINITELY I'LL ASK FOR THAT SPENDING PLAN TO LOOK OVER IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. SEVERANCE. HANG ON, YOU ALL; WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

OKAY, SO I'M ALSO NEW.

WELCOME. THANKS. OKAY, SO 80 RECOMMENDED DESIGNATIONS, BUT 269 TEACHERS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR DESIGNATION.

SO WHO PICKS THIS? THE TEXAS TECH GROUP PICKS WHO GETS TO BE THE 80, AND--SOME LAYERED QUESTIONS HERE--IS THAT 80 A YEAR THAT PARTICIPATE? NO, SO 269 TEACHERS WERE ELIGIBLE DEPENDING ON THE CRITERIA.

OUT OF THAT 269, WE FOUND THE TOP 30% THAT HAD THROUGH THEIR FINAL SCORE, WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY THEIR STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE AND THEIR T-TESS EVALUATION, AND SO THERE WAS A FORMULA AND WE CALCULATED AND EVERYBODY GOT A FINAL SCORE AND THEN FROM THAT FINAL SCORE, THE TOP 30% WERE DESIGNATED, AND IT'S THE TOP 30, 15 AND FIVE OR I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN.

TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE GRANULAR, SO REMEMBER, WHAT MAKES A TEACHER ELIGIBLE IS TWO THINGS.

THEY HAVE TO BE AT AN ELIGIBLE CAMPUS, WHICH SEEMS LIKE ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR IMPACT, AND WE'RE DISCUSSING LIVE OAK BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THERE.

ELIGIBLE CAMPUS, AND THEN THE OTHER AREA IS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE IN AN ELIGIBLE OR DESIGNATED AREA.

THIS FIRST YEAR IT WAS FOUR THROUGH EIGHT READING AND MATH, ALGEBRA ONE AND ENGLISH TWO, AND OF COURSE, SO IF THEY WERE IN THOSE ELIGIBLE CONTENT AREAS, THEN THEY WERE ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED, RIGHT? THEY WERE ELIGIBLE FOR A DESIGNATION.

THEN WE WENT THROUGH AN ENTIRE YEAR AND COLLECTED THEIR TEACHER EVALUATION DATA.

THAT DATA'S WORTH 30% OF AN OVERALL SCORE.

THE STATE, THEN PROVIDED OUR STUDENT GROWTH SCORES OVER THE SUMMER AND WE RAN ALL THAT DATA, CLEANED IT UP, AND THEN THAT WAS WORTH 70%. SO 30% AND 70%.

WE ADDED THOSE SCORES TOGETHER ACROSS ALL OF THOSE ELIGIBLE CAMPUSES AND AREAS, AND THEN WE RANK SORTED IT AND THEN WE LITERALLY JUST DREW THE LINE AT 30%.

I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF DETAIL, BUT IS THAT HELPFUL? ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, SO THEN PART TWO IS LIKE, SO THAT'S FOR THIS YEAR.

THAT'S FOR ONE YEAR. SO THEN NEXT YEAR IS NUMBER 81 THROUGH THE NEXT 90, THE NEXT 80. ARE THEY AUTOMATICALLY OR ARE THEY AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OR HOW DOES THAT--WHEN AND IF I SAY A POSITIVE YEAR, OPTIMISTIC, IF THEY GET ACCEPTED AND THEY'RE MADE OFFICIAL BY THE STATE, THEN THEY WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESIGNATION INTO THE COMING YEAR. WE WILL STILL RUN THEIR DATA AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY'RE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE IT INCREASED.

SO JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A NATIONAL BOARD TEACHER THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY DESIGNATED AS RECOGNIZED, THEIR DATA MAY COME IN AND THEY MAY BE ELEVATED TO EXEMPLARY MASTERS, IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD GIVE THEM A NEW DESIGNATION, AND BECAUSE WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE POOL OF TEACHERS IS GOING TO BE GREATER, THE 30% WILL THEN NATURALLY BE GREATER BECAUSE IT'S A GREATER POOL.

I'M JUST WORRY ABOUT--NOT WORRIED, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TEACHERS LIKE 81 THROUGH 269 THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY DO GO THE TOP OF THE LIST IS IT THEY HAVE TO DO THE CRITERIA LIKE ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THE NEXT YEAR ALL OVER AGAIN IF THEY'RE NOT DESIGNATED AND WE GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS

[02:45:02]

SURE. SOUNDS LIKE TOP GUN.

I MEAN, IT IS REALLY GOOD.

THERE'S REALLY GOOD, AND THEN THERE'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, EXCEPTIONAL, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TEACHERS TO GET DISCOURAGED.

LIKE THEY'RE ONLY TAKING TOP 30%.

I MEAN, IT'S A LOT OF WORK THAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET TO THAT DESIGNATION POINT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STILL IN THE MIX FOR THE NEXT YEAR, AND THEN IS THERE A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH MONEY THAT WE THAT THE STATE WILL GIVE OUT? SO NO MATTER THE TOP 30%, NO MATTER WHAT THE NUMBER IS THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE MONEY THAT WE CAN.

SO THERE IS A LIMIT BY CAMPUS.

SO EVERY APRIL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE WAIT TILL APRIL, THE STATE HAS A WEBSITE AND IT'S REALLY COOL WEBSITE WHERE IT HAS A MAP OF OUR DISTRICT AND YOU CAN HOVER OVER OUR SCHOOLS AND IT TELLS YOU THE DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR EACH OF THOSE DESIGNATIONS AT THAT CAMPUS.

I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S EITHER UHLAND, OR [INAUDIBLE] IS THE HIGHEST GENERATING AND I BELIEVE IT WAS EIGHT 22,000 THAT THE HIGHEST AMOUNT THAT CAN BE GENERATED, AND SO IF YOU ADD THAT TO A 60-65,000 SALARY, THAT COULD VERY EASILY BE $87,000 PLUS ADDITION, NICE $7100 STIPEND, WHICH YOU GUYS APPROVED AND ALL OF THE OTHER STIPENDS , AND IT WOULD BE PUSHING THAT.

YES. OKAY, ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

I'LL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL SAVE THEM FOR LATER.

BUT ANYWAY, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT, MR. VELA AND MS. RUNKLE. ALL RIGHT, YES, AND LIKE MS. OROSCO WAS ASKING OVER THERE, I TOO AM LIKE, OKAY, WHAT SCHOOLS ARE NOT ON THIS LIST? BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF MORE DOCUMENTS HERE.

SO ON PAGE 115 OF OUR DAIS FOLDER, THERE'S A CHART FOR RECOMMENDED DESIGNATIONS PER CAMPUS.

WE HAVE RECOMMENDED DESIGNATIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE, ACCORDING TO THE--ENGLISH TWO OF COURSE, AND ALGEBRA ONE.

OKAY, SEE, THAT'S WHY WE ASK THESE QUESTIONS OUT LOUD, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT SUN FIELD BEING A FIRST YEAR SCHOOL, SO THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT THAT DON'T HAVE A DESIGNATION, IT'S BECAUSE THOSE TEACHERS DIDN'T MEET THE TOP 30%.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MS. RUNKLE? YES, MRS. OROSCO, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I HAD REQUESTED THE LIST OF THE RECOMMENDED TEACHER DESIGNATIONS THAT WAS IN OUR DAIS FOLDER.

SO THAT'S IN THERE, BUT ALSO, CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THE TIA REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE TWO CAMPUSES THAT DO NOT HAVE A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE, HAVE YOU? WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE PRINCIPALS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A REPRESENTATIVE OUTSIDER OTHER THAN THEMSELVES.

OKAY, WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

OKAY, AWESOME. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A LOT OF WORK FOR OUR DISTRICT AND IT'S OPTIONAL, RIGHT? IT IS. SO I APPLAUD ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.

THIS WAS PART OF H.B. THREE, WHICH WAS PASSED WHEN? IT WAS THE 86TH LEGISLATURE.

SO THAT WAS '19.

YEAH. SO IT'S BEEN A MINUTE, AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS.

SO THREE VERSUS FOUR CLASSES, JUST HELP ME MAKE SURE I KNOW.

SO MAYBE I'M AN ENGLISH TEACHER SLASH GOVERNMENT TEACHER.

I HAVE TO BE TEACHING FOUR SECTIONS OF THAT ENGLISH CLASS.

IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANS? YES, SO INITIALLY IT BECOMES AN ISSUE, RIGHT? SOMETHING WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH, BUT AS WE ROLL OUT TO ALL THE DIFFERENT CONTENT AREAS, IT WILL BECOME LESS OF AN ISSUE BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT A TEACHER DOES WILL BE CONSIDERED.

OH, I GOTCHA, BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST DOING IT BY CONTENT.

RIGHT NOW IT'S A REALLY SOFT LAUNCH SIMPLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE TEACHERS, THEY HAVE A T-TESS SCORE.

THEIR STUDENTS ARE ALREADY TAKING STAAR.

SO IT REALLY IT'S ABOUT WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING RIGHT BECAUSE THE STATE GIVES US THE STAAR STUDENT PROGRESS MEASURE AND THE PRINCIPALS ARE GENERATING THAT T-TESS, SO IT'S STUFF THEY ALREADY DO.

SO THERE'S NOTHING ABOVE AND BEYOND, BUT AS WE ROLL OUT THE PROGRAM AND START LOOKING AT OTHER CONTENT AREAS THAT THERE IS NO STAAR SCORE, THEN THAT'S WHERE I CAN SEE TRUSTEE OROSCO'S POINT IN TERMS OF ENGAGING IN PORTFOLIOS AND PRE AND POST TESTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE, DIFFERENT DISCUSSION. WELL, [INAUDIBLE] DOES IT HURT THE TEACHER IF THEY DON'T MAKE A DISTINCTION? OTHER THAN I WOULD SAY WANTING TO BE DESIGNATED.

I MEAN THAT'S A CHALLENGE.

BUT IT'S NOT A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THEIR T-TESS YEAH, AND MONEY.

CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE IN APRIL OR MAY?

[02:50:03]

OUR TEACHERS WILL BE KNOCKING ON OUR DOORS AND SENDING US EMAILS.

HAVE WE HEARD YET? HAVE WE HEARD YET? SO YOU WILL BE GETTING AN UPDATE FROM US IN FEBRUARY BECAUSE FROM THERE, IT'S JUST COAST FROM THERE.

OKAY, FANTASTIC.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THE EDUCATION ON THIS AND THE REFRESH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY, GUYS, I'M GOING TO MOVE SOMETHING UP SO WE CAN GET TO IT.

WE HAVE THIS ITEM.

LANCE MOFFETT IS HERE.

THIS IS M4 DISCUSSION AND INPUT REGARDING HAYS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC LOCKER REPLACEMENT.

[N.4. Discussion and input regarding Hays High School Athletic Locker Replacements - BSN Sports]

THIS MONTH, I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THIS FOR ACTION.

I ASSUMED WE MIGHT HAVE SOME SOME QUESTIONS.

SO THIS IS ON PAGE 119.

WE'VE HAD SOME PICTURES FROM COACH MOFFETT, WHICH IS SUPER HELPFUL, AND WE MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HERE TONIGHT.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US BEFORE WE LAUNCH INTO QUESTIONS? SURE. PRESIDENT PETREA, DR.

WRIGHT, AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES JUST WANT TO SHARE.

YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.

WE SHARED THAT WITH BARBARA. SO YOU GOT THAT.

THIS IS BASICALLY A TRANSITION.

BELLS GYM WAS BUILT IN 1992.

THOSE LOCKER ROOMS WERE INSTALLED AT THAT POINT.

SO THESE LOCKERS ARE 30 YEARS OLD.

THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF THOSE LOCKER ROOMS BEING UPDATED, IT'S BEEN DONE KIND OF IN A HODGEPODGE MANNER WHEN THEY NEED MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCKER ROOM SAID IT'S THE BOYS SOCCER LOCKER ROOM AND THE BOYS BASEBALL LOCKER ROOM.

THERE'S TWO ROOMS IN EACH SPORT.

ONE ROOM IS GOING TO BE CONVERTED TO A VARSITY STYLE LOCKER ROOM WITH BIGGER LOCKERS, 20 LOCKERS, BIGGER VARSITY LOCKERS.

THE OTHER ROOM IS GOING TO BE BIGGER SUB VARSITY LOCKERS.

SO YOU'RE GOING FROM ABOUT 100 LOCKERS IN EACH SPORT TO 60 LOCKERS IN EACH SPORT.

SO 44 SUB VARSITY AND 24 VARSITY.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

IT WAS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS LAST SPRING.

IT WAS APPROVED AS A SPECIAL PROJECT CAPITAL OUTLAY, AND IT CAME TO OUR DESK AS AN APPROVAL FOR A PURCHASE ORDER AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED TO INVESTIGATE.

I KNOW WE'VE BEEN REQUESTED TO LOOK AT A LOCKER REPLACEMENT CYCLE.

TYPICALLY, LEHMAN IS 18-19 YEARS OLD.

THOSE LOCKERS ARE ALL STILL PRETTY GOOD.

I ASKED OUR INTERIM COORDINATOR AT THIS TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE AND SEE IF THERE WAS A PLAN FOR THAT REPLACEMENT CYCLE, AND THEN I TALKED TO COACH GOAD ABOUT LOOKING AT A REPLACEMENT CYCLE AS WELL.

HE MENTIONED THAT GIRLS BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL WOULD BE THE NEXT TWO ROOMS TO BE LOOKED AT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, AND THEN AS I MENTIONED, SOME OF THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN DONE IN DIFFERENT MANNERS, EITHER THROUGH FUNDRAISERS OR WHATEVER.

FOR INSTANCE, BOYS BASKETBALL ADDED VARSITY STYLE LOCKERS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, AND THEY MAINTAIN THE SUB VARSITY LOCKERS ON THE OUTSIDE, AND THEY RAISED THOSE FUNDS THEMSELVES. OKAY, THAT'S HELPFUL INFORMATION.

TEAM, DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR COACH MOFFETT? MR. SEVERANCE, I'LL START WITH YOU.

OKAY, HI, WELCOME TO OUR LATE [INAUDIBLE] MEETING.

OKAY, SO I UNDERSTAND I'M LOOKING AT BASEBALL.

JUST FOR EXAMPLE, BASEBALL ONE, BASEBALL TWO.

I GET THE FIRST ONE.

YOU HAVE A VARSITY ROOMS, 20 TOTAL LOCKERS, REPLACING ALL THOSE THAT ARE IN THERE NOW.

HOW MANY PLAYERS ON A VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM? 15 TO 20.

OKAY, AND SO, AND DO THOSE PLAYERS ADJUST UP AND DOWN SOME WEEKS THEY CAN BE PLAYING, YOU KNOW, IN JV AND THEY CAN MOVE UP.

DO THEY DO THAT ON A WEEKLY BASIS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON OR IS IT PRETTY FIXED? IT BECOMES PRETTY FLUID, JUST DEPENDING ON INJURIES AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

TYPICALLY, THAT NUMBER DOESN'T GO UP MUCH.

SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS LIKE, ARE WE FEARFUL THAT 20 LOCKERS WON'T BE ENOUGH? NOT ON A VARSITY SAME QUESTION FOR SOCCER.

IT'S 11 PLAYERS.

OKAY, AND THEN THE PICTURES I SEE THE BIGGER LOCKER, THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT.

IS IT THE SAME LOCKER THE SMALLER LOCKERS ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME WIDTH AS THE BIGGER LOCKER.

IT'S JUST TWO LOCKERS.

THERE'S A TOP LOCKER AND A BOTTOM LOCKER THERE, JUST A BIGGER WIDTH.

SO YOU'RE TAKING MORE SPACE INSTEAD OF A BUNCH OF LOCKERS JAMMED IN YOUR YOU'RE MAKING THEM A LITTLE BIT BIGGER SO THEY CAN GET MORE EQUIPMENT AND STUFF INSIDE THE LOCKERS.

SO JV TEAM AND VARSITY TEAM TOGETHER WON'T BE ANY MORE THAN 40 PLAYERS FOR BASEBALL AND SOCCER? DEPENDS, A LOT OF THOSE SUB-VARSITY KIDS ARE IN OTHER SPORTS, SO THEY MIGHT HAVE A LOCKER IN ANOTHER LOCKER ROOM.

LIKE IF THEY PLAY FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL, THEY MIGHT STAY IN THEIR LOCKER.

OKAY, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST TAKING AWAY LOCKERS THAT WE MIGHT NEED SOME EXTRA SPACE FOR DOWN THE ROAD.

THE BIGGEST DEAL WITH ALL THESE LOCKERS IS THAT OVER TIME, THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR HAS BECOME TO THE POINT WHERE THEY DON'T WORK ANYMORE, REALLY.

[02:55:04]

THEY'RE EASILY OPENED.

THEY ALL HAD COMBINATION LOCKS THAT WERE INSTALLED WHEN THEY WERE INSTALLED IN 92.

THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN OUT AND NOW REPLACED WITH THE KIND OF LOCKS YOU PUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LOCKER, AND SO THEY'RE JUST IN LOTS OF STATES OF DISREPAIR IS WHAT THE MAIN DEAL IS, AND BRANDON PORTER AND I WENT AND INVESTIGATED IT.

PART OF THE COST ON THIS DEAL WAS WE WERE TRYING TO SAVE DOLLARS IN TERMS OF INSTALLATION DISPOSAL AND REMOVAL, AND SO MAX RECOMMENDED ME TO TALK TO BRANDON ABOUT THAT. WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT AND IT WAS JUST TOO BIG A JOB FOR US TO DO.

SO WE ASKED FOR THEM TO GIVE US A PRICE ON THE REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND DISPOSAL OF THOSE CAN WE REPURPOSE THEM ANYWHERE IN THE DISTRICT? I MEAN, YOU'RE TAKING THEM OUT.

SO I'M SAYING THAT'S A NO, BUT IS THERE ANYWHERE IN THE DISTRICT THAT YOU COULD USE THESE FOR EMPLOYEE LOCKERS? ESSENTIALLY, THESE DON'T LOCK, SO THEY'D HAVE TO BE OPEN OR WHATEVER.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY, THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. MR. VELA. WELL, YOU SAID 30 YEARS AGO, AND YOU KNOW, I PLAYED AGAINST HAYS BACK THEN.

WOW, THAT WAS A LONG TIME, BUT REPURPOSED, YOU KNOW, WE NEED CUBBIES FOR THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS.

[CHUCKLING] I'M KIDDING. I'M KIDDING.

SO, I MEAN, THESE ARE GOING TO BE DISPOSED OF IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING, SCRAP METAL OR WHATEVER THE CASE.

SCRAP METAL, THE ONLY USE THEY COULD HAVE IS IF YOU TOOK THE DOORS OFF, AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY TOO MUCH WORK.

OKAY, THANK YOU. MS. OROSCO. ACTUALLY, THERE IS A PURPOSE FOR THEM, AN ACTUAL PURPOSE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LOCKERS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

NOW, IS IT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE USED IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR ATHLETICS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STEALING CLOTHES OUT OF THE LOCKERS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE LITTLE HOLES, AND THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT CONCERN OF PROPERTY THEFT AND SO ON.

SO IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD USE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL? I DON'T THINK IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE WE CAN BECAUSE OF THEIR DISREPAIR.

I THINK IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH EXTRA WORK TO REPAIR THEM SO THAT THEY WOULD BE FUNCTIONAL IN THAT SITUATION.

I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO YES, MA'AM. SO ARE YOU IN CHARGE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL LOCKERS FOR ATHLETICS? WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION OH, GOOD.

SO, WE ACTUALLY DID SOME INQUIRY AT WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN REGARD TO THE LOCKERS AT DAHLSTROM AND AT BARTON, AND WE'VE LOOKED AT SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY, GREAT.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE HAVING CONVERSATION.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MS. RUNKLE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. I'M LOOKING AT THIS.

IS THERE NOT A DOOR ON THIS ONE? THE NEW ONE OVER HERE, IS IT JUST THE HANGING THING AND THEN THE LITTLE DOOR AT THE TOP? YEAH, THAT'S THE VARSITY STYLE LOCKER.

THE LOCKER AT THE TOP IS FOR ALL THEIR SECURITY STUFF, THEIR WALLETS, AND IT'S A VARSITY STYLE LOCKER ROOM.

OKAY, AND THE SECURITY OF THAT IS FINE? TYPICALLY. OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? MS. RUNKLE? I'M JUST GOING TO COMMENT BECAUSE I THINK I KNOW WHAT LOCKER ROOMS THESE ARE.

THESE WERE THE LOCKERS THAT THE SENIORS LAST YEAR AT JOHNSON USED THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR.

WHENEVER JOHNSON CAME OVER AND WE SPLIT THE KIDS AND THE JOHNSON COACHES WERE WORKING, THAT'S THE LOCKER ROOMS THAT THE JOHNSON KIDS USED, RIGHT? AM I CORRECT? I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE I WENT IN THERE AND I SAW THEM.

NONE OF THEM WORKED.

NOTHING LOCKED.

IN FACT, ALL OF OUR KIDS HAD ALL OF THEIR BELONGINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOCKER ROOM BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T LOCK THEM IN THE LOCKERS AND THEY WERE HAVING TO GO AND LOCK THE DOORS TO THE LOCKER ROOMS, AND MAN, THAT I REMEMBER THAT BEING SUCH A MASSIVE ISSUE FOUR YEARS AGO. SO I WOULD IMAGINE IT HASN'T GOTTEN ANY BETTER SINCE THEN, BUT LITERALLY I'VE HAD PICTURES OF KIDS WITH ALL OF THEIR BELONGINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOCKER ROOM BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T LOCK THEM.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, ANY TIME I SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND KIND OF A SMALL CHUNK SLICE, I WONDER ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT CYCLE, WHAT OTHER LOCKER ROOMS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED? WHO ARE WE GOING TO HEAR FROM THAT HAS FELT LIKE THEIRS ARE WORSE OFF.

SO MY SUGGESTION TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IF IT'S THAT BAD, COME TO US AND LET'S START LOOKING AT A PLAN FOR CHANGING THESE OUT.

[03:00:04]

YOU'RE LOOKING AT LEHMAN.

THEY'RE HITTING THE 20 YEAR MARK.

IF WE CAN REPLACE THEM, LET'S FIX THEM, BUT TO YOUR POINT, LIKE, IF IT'S JUST A GUT JOB, WELL, THEN I APPRECIATE THIS, BUT WHAT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IS LIKE ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THIS ONE LOCKER ROOM WHEN WE HAVE 15 OTHER ONES THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED, RIGHT? RIGHT, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE.

I THINK THERE'S A PLAN.

COACH GOAD DOES A GOOD JOB OF REACHING OUT TO HIS HEAD COACHES AND ASKING ABOUT THEIR SPECIAL PROJECTS AND THEIR CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS WHEN HE DOES HIS BUDGET.

IN FACT, HE PRESENTED A WHOLE MULTI-PAGE DOCUMENT THAT HAD ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS IN IT.

THEY WEREN'T SPECIFIC TO WHICH LOCKER ROOM WAS NEXT OR THOSE KIND OF THINGS, BUT BASED ON THIS CONVERSATION THAT'S NOW HAPPENING, AS IT WILL BE AT LEHMAN AS WELL, WE HOPE THAT THE LOCKERS AT JOHNSON ARE, YOU KNOW, SO YEAH. WELL, AND YOU KNOW, COACH GOAD IS A REALLY GREAT ADVOCATE FOR HIS PROGRAMS WITH COACH [INAUDIBLE] LEAVING LET'S YOU KNOW MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SPEAKING UP IF THERE'S SOME REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE OVER THERE.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY, SO WE'LL VOTE ON THIS IN DECEMBER.

TEAM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT, THANKS, COACH MOFFETT.

APPRECIATE IT. TEAM, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS.

[N.3. Update on safety and security initiatives district wide]

[N.5. Discussion and input regarding the New Academic Support Center]

LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING IN OUR DAIS FOLDERS.

ANY UPDATES OR SUGGESTIONS YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT? YES, MR. SEVERANCE AND I DID GO ON SOME TOURS.

WE TOURED AUSTIN ISD AND WIMBERLY ISD WITH DR.

WRIGHT, MR. CLEAVER, MR. NATE AND SOME OF O'CONNELL ROBERTSON FOLKS.

SO THEY DID JOT DOWN SOME NOTES FOR YOU ALL.

SOME THINGS THAT WE SAW LIKE THE HEIGHT OF SOME OF THESE DIOCESE, SOME WERE EXTREMELY HIGH AND MAX WANTED ME TO TEST IT OUT.

SO I SAT AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE MY EYEBALLS, YOU KNOW, ON SOME OF THESE DIOCESE THAT WERE VERY GRAND.

SO WE DID FIND AND TOOK A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE DAIS THAT WAS LOWER AND THAT SEEMED TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT WE HAD, AND IT WAS VERY INTERESTING, AND WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS OFFLINE, BUT SOME SOME ITEMS ARE LISTED ON THERE JUST OF COURSE, AND DR.

WRIGHT WAS SUCH A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON AND WAS SO HELPFUL WITH HIS WORDS OF WISDOM, MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE, RIGHT, THAT ARE GOING TO BE PERMANENT.

SO THAT WAS SOME VERY GOOD INSIGHT THAT HE HAD THAT HE SHARED WITH US.

SO WE HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATIONS, AND ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS IS THAT WE FOUND OUT SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST LOOKING AT THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, LOOKING AT HOW THEY'RE RESERVING THEIR SPACE AND SO THEY HAVE APPS TO RESERVE THEIR CUBBY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE--NOT THEIR CUBBY, I'M SORRY, CUBICLE AND ALL THE WORKING AREAS THAT THEY HAVE, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE IN PERSON.

SO I THINK THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL.

MR. SEVERANCE, DID YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? THE ONE COMMENT I'LL MAKE IS THAT SO THIS IS THE ONLY BOARD ROOM I'VE EVER BEEN IN BESIDES OUR TOUR.

SO BUT I'M USED TO LIKE THIS MUCH SPACE, AND SO AT AUSTIN AND IN WIMBERLEY, TAKE US AND COMPACT US ABOUT HALF THE SPACE, AND THAT'S THE SPACE THAT THEY LIVE IN.

SO IT WAS IMPORTANT, AT LEAST FOR ME, BECAUSE I HAVE TO SPREAD OUT.

I KNOW MS. OROSCO LIKES TO USE SOME OF THIS AREA, TOO, DURING MEETINGS.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SPACE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IS GOING TO BE ADEQUATE; IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LIKE WHAT WE SAW THE PIE SHAPED AREAS OR WHATEVER.

SO ANYWAY, IT WAS JUST GOOD TO GO.

I KNOW. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ON THAT TOUR, BUT THAT WAS MY ONE FEEDBACK WAS JUST IT WAS REALLY NICE TO WE BUILD A BIGGER SPACE FOR EACH OF US TO OPERATE IN.

SO THANK YOU.

I THINK THAT WAS ONE BENEFIT OF COVID.

WE ALL GOT OUR OWN GIANT TABLES BECAUSE THOSE LITTLE DAIS WERE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER AT HAYS AND LEHMAN.

NOT QUITE WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING, BUT CERTAINLY AS A LEFTY, I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE, OH YEAH, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK.

SO THIS IS HELPFUL AND YOU'RE I'M SURE YOU HAVE SHARED SOME THINGS WITH MAX AND THE TEAM AND WE YES THEY TOOK NOTES

[03:05:09]

THOSE ARE TWO THAT THEY TOOK, BUT I KNOW WE TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES AND EVEN MAKING SURE THAT WE LOOKED AT THE SPACE FOR CLOSED SESSION AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS WELL. SO I WILL SAY THAT THIS SPACE THAT WE HAVE IS GRAND COMPARED TO OTHERS.

SO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SPACE AND JUST OUR WHOLE IT'S REALLY A PHILOSOPHY, RIGHT, ABOUT WE WANT TO BE CLOSE TO THE FOLKS THAT COME AND LISTEN AND PRESENT, AND HERE WE WANT TO HAVE THAT CONNECTION WITH THE PUBLIC.

SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHARED WITH THE ARCHITECTS AS WELL.

YES, PERFECT, AND I'M SUPER SHORT AS WELL AND DON'T WANT TO JUST BE A PAIR OF EYEBALLS BEHIND THE DAIS.

OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK ABOUT OUR NEW ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER? OKAY, GREAT, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER ON BOND CONSTRUCTION RENOVATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT? MR. SEVERANCE, GIVE MR. CLEAVER JUST A MINUTE TO GET UP TO THE PODIUM.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION ON N5.

ALL RIGHT, IT KIND OF FITS UNDER BOTH, SO GO FOR IT.

HEY, MAX. OKAY, SO THE CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE, THAT'S A NEW BOX I'M SEEING WITH [INAUDIBLE] CONTINGENCY OWNER CONTINGENCY DESIGN, CONTINGENCY ESCALATION.

WHERE DOES THAT NUMBER FIT WITHIN THE BOX ABOVE IT? YES, SIR. THE ALL THOSE CONTINGENCIES ARE ACTUALLY EMBEDDED INSIDE THAT CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE.

THE FIRST LINE. YES, SIR, ON THAT 48701.

SO ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE CONTAINED INSIDE THAT CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE.

THAT'S DIFFERENT THE WAY WE'VE PRESENTED IT BEFORE.

WHY ARE WE DOING THAT DIFFERENTLY? AND WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO? THE SAME NUMBERS FOR--YEAH, THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST A REPEAT OF WHAT WE PRESENTED THAT FIRST TIME WE PRESENTED THEM.

WHEN DID WE PRESENT THAT? AUGUST 29TH, 2022 IS WHEN WE PRESENTED THOSE SD NUMBERS, AND YOU'RE JUST PRESENTING IT THIS WAY JUST TO SHOW THAT IN THAT 48.7, THIS IS SOME CONTINGENCY 2ND. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WROTE THAT IN THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT ON DECEMBER 2ND IN TIME TO VET THAT AND PREPARE IT FOR THAT DECEMBER 12TH MEETING.

SO THAT'S HOW WE'LL BE CONFIDENT WHEN WE ASK FOR APPROVAL OF DD THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD IT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? WE'VE MOVED BACK UP TO N5 FIVE ON THE NEW ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER.

OKAY NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO N6, UPDATE ON CONSTRUCTION BOND AND RENOVATION PROJECTS IN THE DISTRICT.
