FOR THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, HELLO TO YOU AS WELL.
TONIGHT I WANT TO YIELD THE MAJORITY OF MY TIME TO MR. CLEAVER FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT BECAUSE IT'S OUR PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW HIM SINCE YOU APPOINTED HIM, BUT ALSO TO THE COMMUNITY, OUR FBOC MEMBERS THAT HAVE WORKED SO HARD IN PREPARING FOR A POTENTIAL UPCOMING MAY BOND ELECTION.
BEFORE I DO TURN IT OVER TO MAX, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE FBOC MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.
YOU GUYS MET ONCE A WEEK OR SO IT SEEMED AS SUCH AND YOU-ALL HAD GREAT DIALOGUE AND DEBATE AND SO I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE ABOVE SELF MENTALITY.
NOW, MAX, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
THIS COMMITTEE DOES A LOT OF TIRELESS WORK.
IT'S A YEAR-ROUND COMMITTEE NOW AND OUR HEAVIEST LIFTING OCCURS FROM ABOUT JUNE UNTIL NOW WHEN THE BOARD CHARGES US TO TAKE A DEEPER DIVE AND STUDY POTENTIAL NEEDS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THIS YEAR OUR CHAIRPERSON HAS BEEN JESSICA BEDWELL AND I'D LIKE FOR HER TO COME UP.
SHE'S BEEN WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH.
SHE AND I PREPARE FOR THE AGENDAS EVERY WEEK AND WE GO OVER AND DISCUSS.
SOMETIMES WE DON'T AGREE, BUT WE ALWAYS COME OUT OF IT TOGETHER.
JESSICA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TIRELESS WORK, AND ALL YOUR EFFORT THIS YEAR, AND THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE WITH ME. [APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU. I'M TOO TALL FOR THE MIC.
WE ARE EXCITED TO FINALLY PRESENT WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON ALL THESE MONTHS TONIGHT.
I DO WANT TO CALL UP OUR FBOC MEMBERS THAT HAVE COME.
THEY'RE VERY EXCITED TO COME UP HERE.
THERE'S A FEW OF US THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT.
COME UP. [APPLAUSE] I'M GOING TO LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES VERY QUICKLY.
>> I'M CELESTE MEDULLA AND I WAS APPOINTED BY COURTNEY RUNKLE.
[00:05:05]
I'M LIBBY GIMBAL AND I WAS ALSO APPOINTED BY COURTNEY RUNKLE.
>> I'M MIMI RIVERS AND I WAS ALSO APPOINTED BY COURTNEY RUNKLE.
>> I'M ALEX ZAVALA AND I WAS APPOINTED BY RAUL VELAR.
>> ALAN KELLER AND I WAS APPOINTED BY WILL MCMANUS.
>> MY NAME IS FENIX ASCARAGE AND I WAS ALSO APPOINTED BY WILL MCMANUS.
>> I AM JESSICA BEDWELL AND ESPERANZA APPOINTED ME. [LAUGHTER]
>> I HAVE APPOINTED PEOPLE JUST SO YOU KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE TONIGHT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] HAS AS WELL.
>> EACH BOARD MEMBER GETS FOUR APPOINTEES TO THIS COMMITTEE.
IT'S A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AS WE WORK ON ALL THESE VARIOUS PROJECTS.
[BACKGROUND] [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, FBOC.
AS THEY PUT THE PODIUM BACK, I'LL DO SOME JOKES TO GET US GOING HERE.
JUST KIDDING. MR. CLEAVER, ARE YOU STILL ON THE MIC, OR IS DR. WRIGHT GOING TO TAKE HIS TIME BACK?
>> I THINK HE'S COMING BACK AND WE WILL BE GIVING ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS CERTIFICATES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] SEVERANCE CERTIFICATES. THAT'S AMAZING.
YES, THAT IS YOUR PAYMENT, SORRY.
DR. WRIGHT, WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE ON THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT?
THEN ALSO, WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO OUR HAYS EDUCATION FOUNDATION GROUP FOR HOSTING GENTLEMAN DIAMONDS ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE WERE ABLE TO HOST THAT EVENT TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT IN THREE YEARS AND SO IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE EVERYBODY BACK.
UNFORTUNATELY, I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS GRADUATING FROM MED SCHOOL, WHICH WAS AWESOME.
NOW SHE'S DONE. IT'S MY LAST KID, SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WE GET TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT ANYWAY, THANKS TO THE FBOC, AND THANKS TO THE HAYS EDUCATION FOUNDATION FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK.
WE HAVE SOME GREAT COMMUNITY PARTNERS HERE AND IT'S WHAT MAKES HAYS CISD SO SPECIAL.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL CONCLUDE.
>> THANKS SO MUCH. CELESTE MEDULLA, YOU SHOULD STAND UP AGAIN BECAUSE YOU WERE PART OF THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION PLANNING COMMITTEE FOR THAT.
[APPLAUSE] COURTNEY RUNKLE SERVES ON THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION AS OUR BOARD LIAISON, SO WE APPRECIATE HER SERVICE DOING THAT AS WELL.
TEAM, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS FOR DR. WRIGHT OR THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
>> NOT QUESTIONS, JUST COMMENTS.
I WANTED TO THANK THE FBOC FOR ALL OF THEIR TIME.
I KNOW MANY OF US THAT ARE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WE'VE SERVED ON THE FBOC.
THOSE MEETINGS TAKE A LOT OUT OF YOU.
THEY ARE MANY HOURS ON SCHOOL NIGHTS AND THEY HAVE CHILDREN MANY OF THEM, SO THERE'S SO MUCH TIME IT'S PUT INTO IT, SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO.
THANK YOU AND CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS DISTRICT AS YOU DO.
GENTLEMEN DIAMONDS WAS FABULOUS.
IT WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER ATTENDING, AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD TO HAVE IT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT YOU GUYS TOTALLY JUST SET THE BAR.
CELESTE AND YOUR TEAM THAT ORGANIZED, THAT WAS AMAZING, SO GREAT JOB. THANKS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MR. SEVERANCE?
>> JUST A COMMENT BECAUSE I'M FRESH OFF THE FBOC IN THIS POSITION.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY I CAN SUPER APPRECIATE HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS FOR THIS COMMUNITY. IT'S A LOT OF WORK.
I DON'T REALLY THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO DO WHAT THIS TEAM DOES.
JESSICA TAKING OVER AS THE CHAIR HAS DONE A GREAT JOB, BEEN VERY COMMUNICATIVE WITH THIS COMMITTEE IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING GOING ON, SO EVERYONE, NICE JOB.
I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO.
YOU WON'T HEAR IT ENOUGH, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IT A LOT TONIGHT, SO CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU-ALL VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.
[00:10:01]
>> YES, FOR SURE. [APPLAUSE] I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF GUESTS HERE TONIGHT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT FBOC STANDS FOR. I DON'T THINK WE'VE SAID.
IT'S FACILITIES AND BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE AN ITEM ON L8 THAT WE'LL DIVE DEEP INTO A LITTLE BIT ONTO THE FBOC JUST SO THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T HERE ALL THE TIME, IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT THAT ACRONYM WAS, WE'RE BAD ABOUT ACRONYMS AROUND HERE.
>> JUST THANK YOU TO THE FBOC.
I KNOW IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT COMMITTEE.
ACTUALLY THREE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS SERVED ON THE FBOC.
MR. BYRON'S SEVERANCE WAS FACILITIES BOND OVERSIGHT CHAIR AND MY APPOINTEE, WILL MCMANUS WAS ALSO CHAIR OF THE FBOC, AND THEN COURTNEY RUNKLE WAS ALSO ON THE FBOC AS WELL, SO GREAT COMMITTEE.
>> GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE? TEAM, AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF OUR MEETING.
[H. PUBLIC FORUM ]
AS A REMINDER, ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD IN PUBLIC FORUM MUST HAVE COMPLETED OUR GREEN SHEET LOCATED AT THE INTERESTS OF THE MEETING ROOM PRIOR TO THE BOARD RECONVENING IN OPEN SESSION.IF YOU DIDN'T SIGN UP, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS IS LIMITED TO THE PUBLIC FORUM PORTION OF THE MEETING AS PROVIDED IN BOARD POLICY BED LOCAL.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OF PUBLIC FORUM IS RECORDED AS PART OF THE RECORDING OF THE ENTIRE MEETING AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE IN ITS ENTIRETY WITHOUT ALTERATION.
A PERSON WHO CHOOSES TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FORUM IS CONSENTING TO THE ONLINE PUBLICATION OF THEIR COMMENTS.
TONIGHT WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER AND YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES.
THIS IS ANGELO FLORES. HI, MR. FLORES. TAP ON THAT MIC, MAKE SURE IT'S WORKING STILL. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I USUALLY DON'T REACH MICROPHONES.
I COME TO YOU AS A PARENT OF A BAND IN GUARD MEMBER FROM THE JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE JOHNSON BAND AS I SAID AND I KNOW IT'S COMING UP IN A PROPOSAL FOR MORE INDOOR SPACE AND PRACTICE FACILITIES FOR THE BAND.
IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN PROVIDED DATA THAT DEMONSTRATES THE NEED FOR BOTH THESE PROJECTS.
I'D LIKE TO THANK MS. PATTY MORENO FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB ON RELAYING OUR FACILITY CHALLENGES.
WE ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE FACILITY BAND COMMITTEE FOR INCLUDING THESE TWO ITEMS IN THEIR LIST OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, AS A PARENT VOLUNTEER, I'M ON THE BUILD CREW DURING THE BAND SEASON, THE PIT CREW DURING THE MARCHING SEASON, AND DURING THE WINTER GUARD, WE ARE ALSO VOLUNTEERS FOR THE BUILD CREW AND THE FLOOR CREW.
MY WIFE AND I ALSO HEAD UP THE UNIFORM COMMITTEE FOR THE BAND AS WELL.
IT'S ALMOST OUR SECOND JOB, SECOND HOME.
SO IF WE COULD HAVE A CUT THERE, THAT'D BE NICE TOO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN FIT IN THERE.
BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE A FIRSTHAND LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIMITATIONS THAT WE HAVE AS A FACILITY, WITH THE BAND BEING ONLY IN ITS FOURTH YEAR AND THE SCHOOL ITSELF, WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH OUTGROWN OUR BAND HALL IN OUR PRACTICE FACILITIES.
WITH THE RECOGNITION THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING NATIONALLY, NOT JUST AS A COLOR GUARD BEING RANKED SIXTH IN THE NATION.
THE BAND GOING ONTO GRAND NATIONALS THIS YEAR, COMING OUT 15TH AGAIN IN THE NATION.
IT'S GIVEN POPULARITY TO BOTH PROGRAMS, THE GUARD AND THE WINTER GUARD AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW JUST WITH THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE NOW.
WE ARE LIMITED TO PRETTY MUCH A THREE-AND-A-HALF BY THREE-AND-A-HALF SQUARE FOOT AREA PER KID IN THAT BAND HALL.
TRYING TO GET ALL THE WIND INSTRUMENTS IN THERE, ALONG WITH PERCUSSIONS AND INSTRUMENTS IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
IT'S EITHER THE WINDS PRACTICING AND THE PERCUSSION IS IN A SEPARATE ROOM, OR IT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE.
NOW THE FACILITIES DO LIMIT THEIR ABILITIES WITH US STEPPING UP INTO THE 6A PROGRAM.
I THINK IN ORDER TO PROCEED AND EXCEL AS A PROGRAM, WE WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE COHERENTLY TOGETHER AS A FULL BAND.
MANY OF THE OTHER 6A PROGRAMS HAVE THOSE FACILITIES AND THEY'RE ABLE TO RUN BOTH PERCUSSIONS AND THE WINDS ALL IN ONE, WHICH JUST INCREASES THE FINE-TUNING AS A BAND AND AS ONE SINGLE UNIT.
[00:15:01]
I'VE WITNESSED FIRSTHAND IF IT'S RAINING DURING THE BAND SEASON NOT HAVING THOSE FACILITIES TO PRACTICE IN.I UNDERSTAND THAT THE GYMS ARE FOR SPORTS AND THE BASKETBALL SEASONS OR VOLLEYBALL SEASON WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE GOING ON, THE BAND CAN'T PRACTICE OUT ON THE PARKING LOT, WE HAVE TO MAKE ROOM.
HOPEFULLY, THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON AND WE CAN USE THE CAFETERIA FOR THE COLOR GUARD AND THE BANK AND SPLIT UP INTO EACH DIVISION.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHEN COLOR GUARD DOES HAVE TO PRACTICE INSIDE, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING ALL THE CHAIRS AND TABLES AND MOVING ALL OF THAT STUFF OUT OF THE WAY THEMSELVES.
NOT ONLY LAYING OUT THE TARP FOR THEIR PRACTICE, BUT HAVING TO PICK EVERYTHING BACKUP ALSO.
THIS ADDS AN EXTRA HOUR TO THEIR PRACTICE TIME.
THEY EITHER HAVE TO START 20, 30 MIN EARLIER, AND THEN THEY'RE HAVING TO HANG OUT ANOTHER 30-45 MINUTES AFTERWARDS JUST TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
IN ORDER FOR THESE FACILITIES TO HAPPEN, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO REALLY CONSIDER THAT THESE FACILITIES BE ADDED TO THE BOND.
AS PARENTS AND PROUD PARENTS, WE GO ON TO BE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS JOHNSON BAND AND GUARD PROGRAMS AND WE KNOW THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THEIR SUCCESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT WITH ADEQUATE SPACE AND THE LEARNING AND REHEARSAL IN CRITICAL TIME, THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE THIS SUCCESS, AND THEREFORE WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE BOARD SUPPORT THE PLACING OF THESE ITEMS ON THE BOND. THANK YOU.
AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO CAMPUS RECOGNITION.
[I. CAMPUS RECOGNITION]
I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF GUESTS HERE TONIGHT FOR CAMINO REAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.I THINK WE HAVE PRINCIPAL YVETTE SOLIZ HERE TONIGHT AND MARY NOBLE.
>> GOOD EVENING, DR. WRIGHT, PRESIDENT PETREA, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
IT IS MY HONOR TO WELCOME OUR CAMINO FAMILIES.
HERE TODAY, OUR CAMINO REAL IS OUR SHOWCASE FOR DECEMBER.
WE'RE SO EXCITED THAT THEY'RE ALL HERE, AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR WONDERFUL PRINCIPAL, MS. SOLIZ.
>> GOOD EVENING HONORABLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US PRESENT TO YOU TODAY.
I'M VERY HONORED TO SHOWCASE OUR CAMINO REAL CHOIR THIS EVENING.
WITH US TODAY IS, OF COURSE, OUR CAMINO REAL CHOIR.
THEY'RE BACK HERE AND THEY'RE BEING LED BY OUR MUSIC TEACHER SELENA VALDEZ.
IT'S HER FIRST YEAR WITH US AND WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER.
[APPLAUSE] WE HAVE AHSOKA, OUR PET THERAPY DOG WITH HER HANDLER, HEATHER TRUPIA.
[APPLAUSE] WE HAVE MS. ELSA IBARRA, OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, [APPLAUSE] AND WE HAVE OUR MANY PARENTS THAT ARE HERE JOINING US THIS EVENING.
[APPLAUSE] OUR PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE DONE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
GOOD AFTERNOON, TODAY I WILL READ YOU A STORY ABOUT A WONDERFUL PLACE NESTLED IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
IN A MAGICAL TOWN NAMED NIEDERWALD, WHICH IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.
A SPECIAL SCHOOL IS OPEN DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ALL WHO ATTEND GO THERE TO LEARN AND LEARN THEY DO EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY THROUGH AND THROUGH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, I WILL NOW READ YOU A STORY OF A DAY IN THE LIFE OF CAMINO REAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
TOWARDS THE MORNING BEFORE THE SCHOOL DAY AND ALL THROUGH THE HALLS, CREATURES WERE STIRRING, AND THE PLAYGROUNDS, COWS, POSSUMS, AND ALL.
STUDENTS' SCHOOLWORK WAS HUNG IN THE HALLWAYS WITH CARE IN HOPES THAT STUDENTS, PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WOULD SEE THEM THERE.
THE CHILDREN ARRIVED SLEEPY AFTER DREAMING OF AHSOKA IN THEIR BEDS, WHILE VISIONS OF STAR AND TAIL PAST TESTING DANCED IN THEIR HEADS.
>> CLICK BACK ONTO THE LINK THAT SAYS AHSOKA.
[00:20:01]
OH, NO YOU DID, SORRY, I MISSED THE FIRST ONE.PAUSING THE STORY FOR A SECOND, YOU'LL SEE AHSOKA THERE AND YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT AHSOKA.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW AHSOKA, AHSOKA WENT TO [INAUDIBLE].
I DO THANK THE BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO PILOT HAVING A THERAPY DOG AT CAMINO REAL.
IF YOU LOOK UP THERE, YOU SEE THAT SHE'S ALREADY MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON OUR SCHOOL.
THE TEACHERS NOTICED HOW STUDENTS ACTUALLY WILL PULL OUT HER PICTURE BECAUSE SHE HAS HER OWN CARD AND WRITE ABOUT HER.
EVEN THE ONE RIGHT HERE, WHO NORMALLY IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR HIM TO WRITE AND TO WANT TO WRITE, HE DECIDED TO TAKE OUT A CARD AND WRITE ABOUT HER.
WE HAVE NEW STUDENTS ON CAMPUS REGULARLY AND ONE STUDENT SAID SHE MAKES ME MORE COMFORTABLE IN THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE I'M A NEWCOMER.
SHE'S ALREADY MAKING KIDS COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY AND EXCITED AS SHE GREETS EVERYBODY EACH DAY AND WORKS WITH STUDENTS IN MY CLASS.
YOU CAN SEE WE CELEBRATED HER THIRD BIRTHDAY.
OF COURSE, SHE GAVE CHOCOLATE MILK BONE TREATS TO THE KIDS AND SUCH.
WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH HER.
IF YOU CLICK FORWARD, YOU SEE A FEW MORE PICTURES.
SHE'S PART OF OUR ATTENDANCE, SHE'S POPPING INTO CLASSROOMS THERE AS KIDS ARE POPPING INTO SCHOOL SO THEY GET EXCITED TO SEE HER.
WE ALSO HAVE ACTS OF PAUSE BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE ACTING POSITIVELY AS THE DAY GOES BY AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE SMILES RIGHT THERE AND AHSOKA HAS ACCESSORIES.
THE KIDS LOVE HER ACCESSORIES AND HER COSTUMES.
IT IS A STAR WARS NAME SO YOU SEE HER IN AN AHSOKA COSTUME UP THERE.
SHE'S JUST A BUNDLE OF JOY TO ALL THE KIDS AND I'M EXCITED TO BE HER HANDLER BECAUSE SHE MAKES MY JOB EASY.
THE KIDS LOVE COMING TO MINDSET CLASS.
IF YOU CLICK FORWARD ONE MORE TIME, YOU CLICK, THAT IS A LITTLE VIDEO.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE KIDS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HER.
[INAUDIBLE] SHE'S KIND AND SHE LOVES.
I GET TO SPEND TIME HELPING CHILDREN WITH READING AHSOKA STORIES.
SHE'S REALLY CALMING WHEN THEY'RE STRESSED OUT [INAUDIBLE]. [APPLAUSE]
>> IF YOU GET A CHANCE, LISTEN TO IT LATER, THE KIDS HAVE WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY.
IN THE HALLWAYS, CAFETERIA, AND LIBRARY THERE ARE ROWS SUCH A CLATTER, EVERYONE SUDDENLY REALIZED IT'S OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS THAT MATTER.
WHEN WHAT TO OUR WONDERING EYES DID APPEAR, OUR TEACHERS AND ADMIN PLAYING WITH ADMIRATION AND CHEER.
MORE RAPID THAN EAGLES, HELICOPTERS, AND FIRST RESPONDERS CAME AS THE TRUCK'S SIRENS WHISTLED AND THE STUDENTS CALLED THEM BY NAME.
A BUNDLE OF NACHOS, PANCAKES, CHIPS, AND DRINKS ON THE TABLE AND VOLUNTEERS LOOK SO HAPPY JUST SERVING THEM TO EVERYONE WITH A SMILE SO PLAYFUL.
BUT AS THE SCHOOL BELL RANG AND THE CHILDREN WENT HOME TO SLEEP, THEIR ECHOES COULD BE HEARD, I AM RESPECTFUL, I AM RESPONSIBLE, I WILL BE SAFE, I WILL BE A ROADRUNNER, BEEP BEEP, AND NOW A PERFORMANCE FROM OUR CRES CHOIR.
DO YOU WAN THEM TO STAND HERE?
[00:25:02]
IS THAT GOOD? [BACKGROUND] [MUSIC][00:31:20]
WE PUT A LITTLE CANDLE BY YOUR SPACE AND IT'S JUST THANKING YOU FOR SHINING A LIGHT ON OUR PATHS.
SO WE REALLY THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU-ALL DO FOR US.
>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING PRESENTATION.
WE JUST THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS THAT ARE OUT HERE TONIGHT, THIS FILLS OUR BUCKETS SO MUCH.
WE'D MUCH RATHER DO THIS THAN ALL THIS OTHER STUFF THAT WE HAVE, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TOO.
TEAM DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. SOLIZ? YEAH, WE DO.
WE HAVE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.
WE'LL START OVER HERE, MR. VELA.
>> MISS SOLIZ, CAMINO REAL, GREAT JOB. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO GET TO MEET OUR CAMPUSES AND ESPECIALLY WHAT THE STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE DOING SO.
JUST THANK YOU-ALL FOR BEING HERE AND SHOWING WHO YOU-ALL ARE. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. [INAUDIBLE]
>> JUST SAME THING. THANK YOU SO MUCH PARENTS AND TO THE STUDENTS, THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR MEETINGS.
WHEN STUDENTS COME AND TALK TO US AND PRESENT TO US, IT REALLY IS THE BEST THING. THANK YOU GUYS.
KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AT CAMINO REAL.
WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO EACH AND EVERY DAY AND WE HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST HOLIDAY BREAK EVER.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. PEREZ-GONZALEZ.
>> WELL CAMINO REAL WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.
OUR STUDENTS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MUSIC TEACHER.
THANK YOU, MS. SOLIZ FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR CAMINO REAL. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> SERIOUSLY, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN.
I'VE BEEN ON THIS CAMPUS AND I'VE SEEN A SOKO IN ACTION, AND THAT'S REAL.
I'VE SEEN IN THE HALLWAYS KIDS MIGHT BE SAD AND HELPS CALM KIDS DOWN, HELPS THEM FOCUS COMING OUT OF WHAT WE JUST CAME OUT OF.
I REALLY HAVE SEEN IT IN ACTION, SO I LIKE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING THERE.
THANKS FOR THE PARENTS FOR BRINGING THE KIDDOS TONIGHT.
I WISH WE COULD JUST, LET'S NOT DO ANYMORE WORK. LET'S JUST GO HOME.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT AND WE'RE DONE FOR THE NIGHT AND THEN LEAVE IT AND GET WHATEVER.
THANKS FOR BRINGING IT TO US THAT THERE'S A LOT OF FUN. THANK YOU.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU AND ALL OF THAT.
BUT WHAT'S BEEN GREAT ABOUT ALL OF THESE THAT WE'VE DONE IS HOW EVERY CAMPUS HAS THEIR OWN PERSONALITY.
I JUST LOVE SEEING IT SHINE THROUGH AND EVERY CAMPUS IS UNIQUE.
BUT FOR ALL THOSE SCHOOLS THAT HAVEN'T GONE YET, THIS WAS PRETTY GOOD TONIGHT.
[LAUGHTER] I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.
JUST BE READY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU. IT'S HARD TO TOP PETS, I THINK. MS. OROSCO?
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, [FOREIGN]
>> THANK YOU, MS. OROSCO? I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN, MS.SOLIZ, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU HAD A SOKA ON YOUR CAMPUS.
I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CLASS PETS IN MY DAY, BUT NEVER A DOG AT YOUR CAMPUS.
I KNOW I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE BUT SNUGGLING WITH MY DOGS, IT`S MY DAILY THERAPY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US.
[00:35:01]
WE REALLY LOVE SHOWCASING OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES.I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT EVENING AND A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.
>> NEXT UP WE HAVE OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT,
[J. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT]
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE LED BY MR. SAVOY, HE`S BACK, HE MISSED ALL THE PICTURE-TAKING.[LAUGHTER] WE FOUND SOMEBODY TO HELP WITH YOUR PICTURE TAKING. DON'T WORRY.
MR. [INAUDIBLE], IS IT JUST YOU?
>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE JUST A THREE-MINUTE BREAK TEAM.
MS. UNCLE, ARE YOU IN THE BUILDING? OH, HERE SHE COMES.
YOU HAVE OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT, WHICH IS OUR RESULTS DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT IN PRE-K UPDATE.
THIS IS ON PAGE 9 OF OUR AGENDA.
WE'VE HAD THIS FOR A FEW DAYS.
ARE YOU GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS OR DO WE WANT TO JUST OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS? HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO IT?
>> WELL, WE CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.
GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, PRESIDENT PETREA, AND DR. WRIGHT.
KEVIN WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO GIVE US AN OVERVIEW, BUT KEVIN COULDN'T MAKE IT HERE TONIGHT.
DEREK WAS LIKE [INAUDIBLE], ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS.
[LAUGHTER] I'LL DO IT IF YOU WANT ME TO, AND I'M LIKE, SURE, SO I LOST.
BUT I HAVE THIS AMAZING GROUP OF DIRECTORS RIGHT BEHIND ME THAT ARE ALSO HERE POISED AND READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RESULTS DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY, AS WELL AS GIVING YOU A PRE-K UPDATE.
I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DEREK.
COME ON UP, DEREK. WE CAN EITHER GIVE YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS, MS. PETREA OR WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS.
>> WE CAN HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS REAL QUICK.
I KNOW IT'S NOT A SUPER LONG PRESENTATION, SO IT SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG.
>> GOOD EVENING BOARD. DARON MCDANIEL, EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION, BUT I'M FILLING IN FOR KEVIN TONIGHT.
I WILL JUST HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS, A QUICK OVERVIEW AND THEN THE TEAM IS HERE TO TAKE QUESTIONS.
TONIGHT WE ARE SHARING OUR RESULTS-DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT AS WELL AS OUR BEGINNING OF YOUR PRE-K DATA.
RESULTS-DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS PBMAS.
RESULTS-DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY IS A SEPARATE FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
DATA IS REPORTED ONLY AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL ON THE PERFORMANCE IN THREE PROGRAM AREAS CONSISTING OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION, ESL, AND THE ENGLISH LEARNERS IS ONE GROUP.
OTHER SPECIAL POPULATIONS IS A GROUP THAT INCLUDES FOSTER CARE, STUDENTS WHO EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS, AND WHO ARE MILITARY CONNECTED.
THE THIRD ONE BEING SPECIAL EDUCATION.
FOR RESULTS-DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY, LEVELS RANGE FROM 0-4, WITH A ZERO BEING THE BEST SCORE.
OVERALL, OUR OTHER SPECIAL POPULATIONS DID IMPROVE FROM A TWO TO A ONE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
OUR BILINGUAL GROUP IN SPECIAL EDUCATION STAYED AT A TWO OVERALL, EVEN THOUGH WE DID MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THOSE AREAS.
IN THE SUMMARY SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THE GRADUATION RATES IMPROVED FROM A PERFORMANCE LEVEL 1, TO A PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF ZERO FOR BOTH OUR BILINGUAL EDUCATION AND OTHER SPECIAL POPULATIONS STUDENTS.
IN ADDITION, SPECIAL EDUCATION STAR PASSING RATES IMPROVED FROM A THREE TO A TWO IN ALL THREE THROUGH EIGHT SUBJECTS, BIOLOGY, ENGLISH 1, AND ENGLISH 2.
US HISTORY IMPROVED FROM A TWO TO A ONE.
SPECIAL EDUCATION DOES HAVE INCREASED REQUIREMENTS FOR RECEIVING THE DETERMINATION LEVEL OF A TWO.
BY THE END OF THE WEEK, MICHELLE VELASQUEZ WILL SUBMIT OUR STRATEGIC SUPPORT PLAN TO TEA FOLLOWING THEIR TIMELINES, WE WILL SHARE A COPY OF THAT WITH YOU LATER THIS WEEK.
IN ADDITION, MICHELLE VELASQUEZ, PATRICIA, MELGAR COOK, AND DR. BRIAN DAWSON CONTINUE TO COORDINATE THEIR DEPARTMENTS TO REVIEW CAMPUS PROCEDURES AS IT PERTAINS TO DROPOUT RATES.
WE EXPECTED DROPOUT RATES TO INCREASE.
BUT LIKE ALWAYS, WE ARE WORKING HARD TO FIND THOSE STUDENTS AND GET THEM BACK IN THE SCHOOL.
THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS OUR PRE-K LETTER NAME, LETTER-SOUND DATA FOR THE FIRST NINE WEEKS.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO COMPARE GROUPS OF STUDENTS, BUT OUR TEACHERS ARE WORKING ON THE SECOND NINE WEEKS NOW AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE OUR MIDDLE-OF-THE-YEAR GROWTH COMPARISONS IN FEBRUARY.
WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT CURRENT PRE-K ENROLLMENT IS SITTING AT 802 STUDENTS, WHICH IS UP 161 STUDENTS FROM LAST YEAR.
IN THE FINAL SLIDE SHOWS OUR STRENGTHS, CHALLENGES, AND OUR PLAN OF ACTION AS WE HEAD INTO THE SPRING SEMESTER.
THE TEAM IS HERE AND WE'RE READY FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
>> GREAT. I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION BEFORE WE DIVE IN.
DO WE HAVE THE NUMBERS OF THAT 802 PRE-K ENROLLMENT, TUITION-BASED VERSUS NON-TUITION-BASED?
[00:40:05]
>> I BELIEVE WE PROVIDED THAT THIS AFTERNOON.
>> GREAT. I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
>> I KNOW THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WE'D RECEIVE.
>> PERFECT. I WILL START OVER HERE ON MY LEFT, WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MCDANIEL?
>> I'VE SUBMITTED SOME QUESTIONS, SO I KNOW THAT THEY WILL COME, BUT I NOTICED SOME OF THE CHALLENGES ALSO ON HERE WERE ATTENDANCE.
I'VE NOTICED THAT HOW ARE YOU GUYS ADDRESSING THE ATTENDANCE AND WELL, LET ME ASK THIS.
CAN WE GET THE INFORMATION BOTH ON TUITION-BASED AND NON TUITION-BASED ATTENDANCE RATES OR ATTENDANCE INFORMATION? HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING IT AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL OF GETTING THOSE KIDS TO COME TO CLASS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.
>> IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE. OUR CAMPUSES HAVE DONE INCENTIVES, PERFECT ATTENDANCE AWARDS, PARTIES, ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO GET OUR STUDENTS TO COME TO SCHOOL.
IN SUPPORT OF DR. WRIGHT'S 100 PERCENT HAZE, GETTING OUR KIDS INVOLVED.
BUT IT HAS BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE SINCE THE PANDEMIC.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON ACROSS THE STATE.
DR. WRIGHT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US ALL SEMESTER ON IMPROVING OUR ATTENDANCE RATES.
BUT OUR CAMPUSES AND OUR PRINCIPLES, THEY'RE DEDICATED TO DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN.
I KNOW CAMPUSES HAVE DONE PHONE CALLS HOME, THEY'VE DONE CLASS INCENTIVES, TEACHERS REACHING OUT, ENCOURAGING THOSE STUDENTS.
BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS FEEL ACCEPTED, WHENEVER THEY ARE CHALLENGED AND WHEN THEY'RE LEARNING AT SCHOOL, THEY'RE GOING TO COME TO SCHOOL.
BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE JUST OUT OF OUR HANDS.
THEY ARE DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON.
WE WILL GET YOU THE TUITION-BASED ATTENDANCE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
>> GREAT. THEN ALSO WHEN YOU GET TO THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, IF YOU'LL GIVE US A COMPARISON FROM THE MIDDLE OF YEAR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR OF WHAT YOU'RE GIVING TO US NOW.
THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE. I'LL JUST WAIT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE TO GET ANSWERED FOR US, BUT THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANKS, MS. BRONCO, ANYTHING ELSE OVER HERE ON MY LEFT? ON MY RIGHT, QUESTIONS, MS. OROSCO, AND THEN MR. SEVERANCE.
>> I KNOW I SUBMITTED QUESTIONS AS WELL THAT I'M STILL PENDING RESPONSES FOR BECAUSE I SUBMITTED THEM LATE.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. I HAD A QUESTION.
CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE? THIS RESULTS-DRIVEN ACCOUNTABILITY.
I DON'T REMEMBER RDA AT BEING CALLED THAT DR. WRIGHT, IS THIS PART OF THE TAPER BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT IT REMINDED ME OF WHEN TAPER WOULD RANK US WHETHER WE NEED ASSISTANCE OR MEET REQUIREMENTS AND SUCH.
IS IT RELATED TO THAT OR IS IT SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT?
>> THIS IS THE NEW NAME FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED MONITORING AND ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, USED TO BE CALLED THE PBMAS.
>> I HAD SEEN IT BEFORE BUT IT HAD A DIFFERENT NAME.
>> [INAUDIBLE] HAS KEEP ALL OF US ON OUR TOES AND THEY CHANGED NAMES ALL THE TIME, SO IT`S JUST AN UPDATED NAME, BUT IT'S THE SAME BASIC SYSTEM.
>> GREAT. I KNOW I SUBMITTED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AS WELL, SO I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THOSE RESPONSES.
THANK YOU. AS FAR AS THE PRE-K GOES NOW WE CAN MOVE BACK TO PRE-K.
I JUST WANTED TO CHECK ON THAT ONE.
EXCUSE ME, MOST OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
WHEN WILL YOU BE PRESENTING THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR DATA TO US?
THOSE KIDS ARE TAKING IT NOW AND WE'LL COMPARE, IS IT THE FEBRUARY? FEBRUARY. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE'LL WEIGH THEM AWAY COMPARISON.
>> I JUST GOT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. LET ME GO ON THROUGH THE RESULTS OF THE PRE-K.
IF YOU LOOK AT, AND I'M JUST LOOKING AT LETTER SOUNDS JUST BECAUSE JUST TO PICK ONE TO LOOK AT, WHEN IT SAYS 60 PERCENT TELL ME WHAT 60 PERCENT MEANS?
>> LIKE WHAT THE PERCENTAGES MEAN.
>> LUCIAN WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THE EXACTLY WHAT 60 PERCENT IS FOR THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR PRE-K CELL
>> CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF ON THE MICROPHONE?
>> YES. MY NAME IS LUCIAN GAINES AND I'M THE EARLY INTERVENTION COORDINATOR.
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LETTER NAME, LETTER-SOUND PERCENTAGE, 60 PERCENT MEANS 60 PERCENT OF STUDENTS IN THAT PARTICULAR GROUP OF PRE-K CLASSES KNOW THEIR LETTER SOUNDS.
>> THAT'S WHY I FIGURED IT WAS BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD IT BECAUSE THERE'S SIX OF THESE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE BETTER LETTER SOUND RESULTS THAN THEY DID IN FALL OF 2020.
I THINK THERE'S SOME INFORMATION HERE THAT LOOKS PRETTY PROMISING.
THERE'S SIX OR SEVEN THAT DID BETTER THAN 21.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES THAT DON'T HAVE ANY PERCENTAGES.
LIKE TOM GREEN HAD A ZERO PERCENT FOR LETTER SOUNDS.
I'M SURE THAT'S IT'S A QUESTION THAT YOU ANSWERED OR YOU ASKED IT. BUT I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.
[00:45:01]
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME PROGRESS THERE.IT'S NOT ALL BAD BUT I THINK IT'S BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN.
I THINK THAT'S ENCOURAGING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD, SO THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE.
MR. MCDANIEL, ANYTHING ELSE FOR US ON THIS.
>> NO. WE'LL GET THOSE QUESTIONS AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THE FEBRUARY REPORT.
>> PERFECT. WE'LL SEE YOU BACK IN FEBRUARY THEN.
>> NEXT UP TEAM, WE HAVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS.
[K. CONSENT AGENDA ]
I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE ONE AT A TIME AND YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PULL ANY OF THESE ITEMS. OTHERWISE, WE WILL START VOTING AND HAVE SOME ACTION.MS. RUNKLE, YOU WANT TO PULL THAT ONE? YOU WANT TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS? PERFECT. K3A, THIS IS A CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF OUR PROJECT LEAD THE WAY EQUIPMENT.
WHO IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR PROJECT LEAD THE WAY? SUSIE MITCHELL.
THIS IS ON PAGE 26 OF YOUR AGENDA PACKET.
MS. SUSIE MITCHELL IS MAKING HER WAY SLOWLY TO OUR PODIUM.
>> SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS BECAUSE I LOVE ALL THINGS PROJECT LEAD THE WAY.
>> I DID TALK TO [INAUDIBLE] THIS WEEK SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY AND MAKE SURE THAT I KNOW THAT NOT ALL CAMPUSES HAD PROJECT LEAD THE WAY.
BUT WE HAVE TIGHTENED THAT UP, WE'VE ADDED SOME CAMPUSES AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE MORE CAMPUS LEFT AND CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE PROJECT LEAD THE WAY ONTO THAT CAMPUS AND WHEN AND WHAT YOUR PLANNED FOR THIS OR WHAT YOUR PLAN IS.
>> WE ACTUALLY JUST MET ABOUT IT LAST WEEK, AND WE DO ONLY HAVE THE ONE CAMPUS THAT DOESN'T HAVE PROJECT LEAD THE WAY AT THE ELEMENTARY CAMPUS.
WE MET ABOUT IT AND IT IS GOING TO BE EXPANDED NEXT YEAR SO THAT EVERY CAMPUS WILL HAVE IT.
>> THAT CAMPUS DOES HAVE A FINE ARTS PROGRAM CURRENTLY.
I DON'T WANT IT TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THEY HAVE NOTHING OVER THERE. THEY DO.
THEY'RE WORKING ON INCORPORATING PROJECT LEAD THE WAY.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL CAMPUSES WERE GOING TO HAVE THAT.
WHICH CAMPUSES DID YOU ADD THIS YEAR?
>> WE HAD THREE OR FOUR ELEMENTARY WE DID ADD THIS YEAR.
I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHICH ONE'S.
>> GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> MS. MITCHELL, THANK YOU FOR INVITING US TO PROJECT LEAD THE WAY TRAINING DAY.
IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE THAT IN ACTION AND TO HERE, TO SEE ALL THESE DISTRICTS THAT CAME TO LOOK AT OUR DISTRICT AND EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING IN REGARDS TO PROJECT LEAD THE WAY BEGINNING FROM THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL ALL THE WAY TO SECONDARY, AND THEM COMING TO SEE US AS A MODEL DISTRICT.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT VOTING ON THIS AND CONTINUING THAT PROGRESS. THANK YOU
>> ANYTHING ELSE. SINCE YOU'RE UP HERE, DO YOU WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY BRIEFLY WHAT PROJECT LEAD THE WAY MEANS?
>> PROJECT LEAD THE WAY IS THE STEM CURRICULUM THAT WE'RE USING K12.
WE HAVE IT. IN THE ELEMENTARIES IT'S CALLED LAUNCH.
IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS IT'S CALLED GATEWAY TO TECHNOLOGY, AND THEN IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS WE DO HAVE ENGINEERING, BIOMEDICAL AND COMPUTER SCIENCE THAT WE USE PROJECT LEAD THE WAY CURRICULUM FOR.
>> GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MS. MITCHELL? PERFECT. WE'LL BE READY TO VOTE ON THAT ITEM THEN AS PART OF CONSENT.
TEAM 3B, ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR OUR TEAM FOR 3B? THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AS PRESENTED.
>> MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MS. RUNKLE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I, ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 7, 0.
NEXT STEP WE HAVE ACTION ITEM L1.
[L.1. Consideration and possible approval of Outside Counsel for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees]
THIS IS ON PAGE 32 OF YOUR AGENDA.AS YOU HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY NOTED ON THE TRANSMITTAL SHEET, THIS HAS BEEN VETTED BY YOUR BOARD OFFICERS.
ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM? THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED LEON [INAUDIBLE] PLLC TO SERVE AS OUTSIDE COUNSEL FOR THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AS PRESENTED, MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. VELA.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
[00:50:02]
ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 7, 0.
[L.2. Second Reading - Consideration, and possible adoption of revisions to Board Policy EIF(LOCAL)]
NEXT STEP IS L2.THIS IS OUR SECOND READING OF BOARD POLICY EIF LOCAL.
WE HAVE SOME REVISIONS HERE ON PAGE 33 OF OUR AGENDA.
I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A TYPO, DR.
RIGHT. I THINK OUR TEACHER OR GROUPS HAVE SEEN THIS.
I'M NOT SURE OUR BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL TALKED ABOUT THIS. I'M SORRY.
I'M THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE. I'M SORRY.
THIS IS OUR VOLUNTEER HOURS, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO DO THAT.
THAT'S SO FUNNY. THIS IS OUR SECOND READING FOR OUR POLICY.
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS WE ARE GOING TO REQUIRE AS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT 10 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER TIME PER YEAR.
I DID APPRECIATE TEAM, YOU PROBABLY SAW THERE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BEFORE WE ARE GOING TO VOTE ON THAT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS AS WE HAVE NOW, A MORE BUILT OUT PROCESS FOR THIS? MR. SEVERANCE.
>> NOT REALLY QUESTIONS, BUT JUST A COMMENT.
I LOVE THAT WE'RE DOING THIS, BUT ALSO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A FEW TIMES, WE HAVE A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO INTERNALLY SUPPORT SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, POSSIBLY WITH SENIORS.
MY QUESTION FOR THIS ITEM IN PARTICULAR, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO COME UP WITH A DISTRICT MENU THAT KIDS COULD LOOK AT TO SAY, HEY, I CAN GO TO HEMPHILL ELEMENTARY AND READ TO KIDS, OR JUST SOME WAY WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO SIGN UP FOR THINGS THAT THEY CAN GET VOLUNTEER HOURS ON A MACRO SCALE.
I'M SURE THERE'S A MILLION THINGS THAT SCHOOLS CAN DO AND THEY CAN DO AT HOME OR IN THEIR COMMUNITY, WHICH ALSO I THINK IS IMPORTANT.
BUT IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THESE KIDS TO HELP US IN READING AND WHATNOT AT THE LOWER LEVELS AND CAMPUSES AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ABOUT HIGH SCHOOLERS.
I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> I THINK DR. WATSON IS COMING TO THE PODIUM.
I'M ASSUMING HE MIGHT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU.
>> YES. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT PETREA, DR. WRIGHT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, HAPPY HOLIDAYS COMING UP.
I THINK THAT'S AN AWESOME SUGGESTION, MR. SEVERANCE. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO DO, WE'RE GOING TO CAPTURE ALL THE DATA WITHIN SCHOOL LINKS.
WE'RE HOPING TO BUILD, PROVIDE RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO LOOK UP IN SCHOOL LINKS AND CONNECT THROUGH VARIOUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT.
WE'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH ON CAPTURING THE HOURS AND SIGNING OFF, SO WE CAN REDUCE SOME PAPERWORK AND LOGGING, EVERYTHING.
HOPEFULLY IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY SEAMLESS.
BUT I THINK THAT'S THE OTHER PIECE IS MATCHING THE STUDENTS TO OPPORTUNITIES AND BEING ABLE TO HOW'S THAT COMMUNICATED OUT?
>> WELL, I LOVE IT, SO THANK YOU.
I'M GLAD WE'RE WORKING ON IT AND GETTING MORE DETAIL TO IT, SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
>> A LOT OF THAT CAN BE DONE THROUGH THE VIP PROGRAM.
CURRENTLY AT THE CLOTHES CLOSET, I ASKED STUDENTS TO SIGN UP THROUGH THE VIP PROGRAM AS EARLY AS ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.
I HAD THEM MODIFY THE VIP ACCESS, SO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS COULD SIGN UP SO THEY CAN VOLUNTEER AT THE CLOTHES CLOSET.
THEN AS YOU ENTER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE VIP SYSTEM, YOU TARGET POPULATIONS.
I'M SURE THAT WE COULD PUSH THAT OUT, THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE VIP SYSTEM, FOCUSING ON STUDENTS THAT ARE SIGNED UP THROUGH OUR SYSTEM.
THAT'S AN EASY WAY TO CAPTURE THE DATA ON THE VOLUNTEER HOURS.
IF THEY CLEARS EVERYBODY, OF COURSE, THAT GOES INTO THESE PLACES, CLOTHES CLOSET.
A SCHOOL MIGHT NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR BOOK READING OR BOOK FAIR THAT, SO THOSE CAN BE PUSHED OUT THROUGH THERE.
MAYBE THAT'S A CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH OUR VIP COORDINATOR ON THAT AND TARGETING THOSE POPULATIONS.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE DO THAT THROUGH THE CLOTHES CLOSET. THANK YOU.
>> GREAT SUGGESTION, MRS. OROSCO, ANYTHING ELSE OVER HERE? MRS. RUNKLE?
>> NO, I AM SO HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS.
I DO JUST WANT TO ASK THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE COMMUNICATE WITH BOOSTERS AND PTAS.
I SAID THIS LAST TIME BECAUSE THEY DO SCHOLARSHIPS AND A LOT OF THAT IS BASED ON SERVICE HOURS.
IF WE HAVE OUR OWN REQUIREMENTS, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO UP IT A LITTLE BIT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME AND WE COMMUNICATE THAT TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE.
BUT I THINK THIS IS GREAT. IT'S ALWAYS EXCITING.
>> MRS. RUNKLE, THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION.
I KNOW WE HAVE SOME BOOSTER PARENTS IN THE ROOM AND MISS MARINO IS HERE AS WELL. CAN HELP GET THE WORD OUT.
JUST A REMINDER THOSE LISTENING AT HOME AND HERE,
[00:55:01]
THIS IS GOING TO START WITH THE CLASS OF 2027 COHORT.IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT GRADUATING CLASS OF 2027 OR BEYOND, THIS WILL IMPACT YOU.
NOT TO SAY WE DON'T RECOMMEND VOLUNTEERING SOONER THAN THAT.
BUT JUST TO PUT A POINT ON THAT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DR. WRIGHT DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS? I KNOW THE STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL IS EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND SUPPORTIVE.
>> YEAH, WE STARTED WITH OUR STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL AND THEY WERE ALL VERY SUPPORTIVE AND THEY THOUGHT IT'S IMPORTANT TO LEARN HOW IMPORTANT SERVICE TO A COMMUNITY IS.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY THEY SUPPORTED IT.
I THINK ONCE WE GET THE MENU OF OPTIONS, THERE WILL BE PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM STARTING WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION THAT THEY BELONG TO.
I THINK WE HAVE AROUND 70 PERCENT THAT ARE A MEMBER OF 100 PERCENT A'S, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE PART OF SOME ORGANIZATION, CLUB, ETC.
FOR THOSE, IT SHOULD BE REALLY EASY TO GET THEIR HOURS WITHIN THEIR OWN ORGANIZATION.
BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
I LOVE BYRON'S IDEA ABOUT TUTORING OR HELPING JUST ON AN ELEMENTARY CAMPUS WITH WHATEVER THEY MAY NEED.
BECAUSE OUR YOUNG KIDS NEED ROLE MODELS.
>> GREAT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICY EIF, LOCAL AS PRESENTED.
SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. ALL RIGHT, TEAM.
[L.3. Consideration and possible approval of New Courses for the 2023-2024 school year]
MOVING ON. NEXT, WE HAVE ITEM L3.THESE ARE SOME NEW COURSES FOR THE 2023/2024 SCHOOL YEAR.
THIS WAS PRETTY EXCITING TO LOOK AT.
TEAM DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM?.
THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE NEW COURSES THROUGH THE 2023/2024 SCHOOL YEAR AS PRESENTED.
>> MOVED BY MR. VELA, SECONDED BY DR. PEREZ-GONZALEZ.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YOU MIGHT THINK I SHOULD READ THESE.
DOES ANYBODY WANT ME TO READ THESE, LOW CLASSES? IT'S EXCITING. I'M GOING TO READ THEM.
INTRODUCTION TO AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY, AVIATION GROUND SCHOOL, AEROSPACE ENGINEERING, DANCE WELLNESS, 1, 2, 3, AND 4.
ORCHESTRA 1, 2, AND 3, AND 4, AND THAT'S AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL.
EXCITING, AVIATION CLASSES SOUND GREAT.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
MRS. MITCHELL, I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED AND MISS MARINO IS HERE TONIGHT.
NEXT STEP, L4 AND THIS IS THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES SUPPORT,
[L.4. Consideration and possible approval of the renewal of the contract for healthcare services support - Maxim Healthcare Services]
MAXIM HEALTHCARE ON PAGE 43 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET.ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? IT LOOKS LIKE MISS MEGAN [INAUDIBLE] IS HERE AS IS MICHELLE WALLACE VELAZQUEZ.
THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE RENEWAL OF THE CONTRACT WITH MAXIM HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $80,000 AS PRESENTED.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE CONVERGE 1,
[L.5. Consideration and possible approval of Technology Infrastructure - ConvergeOne]
DIANE BORRISON IS HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.THIS IS ON PAGE 45 OF YOUR AGENDA.
I'M NOT TRYING TO NERD OUT HERE, BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT SOME OF THIS STUFF MEANS.
I SEE TWO COVERAGE 1, ONE'S A MAINTENANCE RENEWAL AND THEN ONE OF THEM IS AN EXTREME MAINTENANCE RENEWAL.
GUESS THEY'RE BOTH EXTREME MAINTENANCE RENEWALS.
>> THE ONE THAT WAS ON CONSENT IS FOR WIRELESS MAINTENANCE.
THE CONVERGE 1 IS FOR NETWORK EXTREME EQUIPMENT RENEWAL MAINTENANCE.
[01:00:02]
>> WELL, I MESSED UP LAST MONTH BECAUSE IT WAS ON YOUR AGENDA FOR LAST MONTH AND I DIDN'T DO A BLANKET FOR ALL OF THE 21 BOND PROCUREMENT THAT I NEEDED.
THIS IS ACTUALLY TO CORRECT AND ADD THAT AT THOSE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS IN ADDITION TO THAT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS.
>> ALL RIGHT. GOT YOU. BECAUSE THE TWO RENEWALS, THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON EACH ONE, BUT BOTH UP THEY HAD A SIMILAR VSP 828 FOR EXCESS LANGUAGE THAT YOU WAY FAMILIAR WITH THAT I'M NOT.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT MAINTENANCE WI-FI NETWORK LOOKS LIKE BY JUST.
>> NO, GO AHEAD. NO, I'M JUST I'M CURIOUS ABOUT ONE OF THOSE LINE ITEMS OF WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN ON A CONTRACT BASIS.
>> THE VSP EQUIPMENT ACTUALLY THE WIDE AREA NETWORK EQUIPMENT.
THAT'S OUR FIBER OPTIC NETWORK BY FIBER BACKBONE THAT LIKES THE EQUIPMENT, IT'S LAYER 1 AND LAYER 2.
IT PROVIDES DATA CONNECTIVITY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CLASSROOM.
BUT IT'S THE SWITCHES AND THE ROUTERS.
LAYER 3 WAS FOR WI-FI AND THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] AND THAT'S THE SEPARATE ITEM.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? MR. VELA?
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US BACK TO US.
WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT OR I KNOW THAT COST WILL GO UP, BUT WHAT SHOULD WE ANTICIPATE FOR NEXT YEAR'S SPENDING SO WE CAN PUT A MARKER ON THE CALENDARS AND HEY, THIS IS COMING UP AGAIN?
>> WELL, THAT'S A TRICKY QUESTION.
THE MAINTENANCE OF COURSE, WILL BE AROUND 100,000 PLUS ADDITION FOR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AS WE ADD IT.
AS FAR AS THE NETWORK EQUIPMENT, DEPENDING ON IF THE BOND PASSES BECAUSE THERE'S POTENTIALLY SOME NETWORK UPGRADES, THERE.
THERE WILL BE EQUIPMENT PURCHASES FOR CONSTRUCTION.
WE NEVER PUT OUR TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT IN FFNE TO BE PURCHASED AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE THE PARTS CHANGE, AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO DEFINE THAT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
WE MAY HAVE BOND PURCHASES FOR EQUIPMENT FOR NEW CAMPUSES FOR WHEN WE ADD A CAMPUS AND WE ADD AN IDEA, WE HAVE TO BUY A SWITCH, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A MOVING TARGET.
THIS HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THE $100,000 WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND ABOUT $300,000 WORTH OF SPECIAL PROJECTS JUST ADDS MOVES AND CHANGES.
>> JUST TO PUT SOME PERSPECTIVE TO THE $400,000, WE SPEND THAT EVERY YEAR ON TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH BONDS OR OTHER.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MS. BORRISON? THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF SERVICES FROM CONVERGE 1, NOT TO EXCEED $400,000 AS PRESENTED.
MOVE BY MR. VELA, SECONDED BY MRS. RUNKLE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN, ZERO.
[L.6. Consideration and possible approval of Hays High School Athletic Locker Replacements - BSN Sports]
NEXT STEP, WE HAVE OUR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC LOCKER REPLACEMENT ITEM TEAM.WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST MONTH.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR TEAS FOLDER THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS SUBMITTED AND WHO IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? DUSTIN GIBBS IS HERE.
TEAM, DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. GIBBS? MS. BRONCO.
>> I WAS GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I SAW THIS IN THE FOLDER, SO NOW I DON'T.
>> CAN YOU GET CLOSER TO YOUR MIC WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME HEARING YOU, SORRY.
>> SORRY. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE CONDITION OF OTHER LOCKER ROOMS WERE ACROSS OUR DISTRICT BEFORE WE APPROVED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DID TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR OTHER LOCKER ROOMS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED HERE AND THERE, BUT FOR THE MAJORITY THEY'RE IN GREAT SHAPE.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT WORK. I APPRECIATE IT.
I KNOW THAT THESE KIDS PROBABLY WANT NEW LOCKERS SO THAT THEY CAN SECURELY STORE THEIR STUFF SAFELY AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS GETTING TAKEN.
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT AND WE'LL HAVE TO THANK OUR COACHES HELPED GATHER A LOT OF THIS DATA AND WE STILL HAVE SOME COMING IN AND LIKE YOU SAID, MOST OF IT SHOWS THAT OUR LOCKERS AND IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AND THEY'RE USUALLY SOMETHING THAT LASTS AND WE'RE RESEARCHING THAT STEEL AND GETTING INFORMATION ON HOW LONG WE CAN ANTICIPATE SOME OF THESE LASTING.
BUT A LOT OF THE KIDS AND COACHES HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB TAKING CARE OF THEM.
SOME OF OURS THAT NEED SOME REPLACING, THEY'RE JUST OLDER THAT'S SOME OF OUR OLDER CAMPUSES.
>> I KNOW HAVING YOU AND MR. MOFFIT ON BOARD,
[01:05:05]
YOU GUYS ARE ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH EVERYTHING AND GOING THROUGH AND MAKING SURE A REPLACEMENT CYCLES AND LOOKING AT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN ABLE TO TACKLE AND BE AHEAD OF THE GAME.THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE BEEN DOING BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS TO LEARN, SO THANK YOU.
>> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. SEVERANCE?
>> HEY, DUSTY. THANKS FOR COMING IN AND BRINGING THIS BACK TO US.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DEFINING THE SCOPE JUST SO IT'S FOUR ROOMS.
>> IT'S TWO VARSITY TO JV LOCKER ROOMS?
>> THE QUOTE THAT WE HAVE IS THE SAME QUOTE WE HAD IN THE LAST MEETING, BUT IT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY SAY WHAT LOCKERS WE'RE GOING WITH.
HAVE YOU ALL DECIDED WHAT LOCKERS, YOU MENTIONED MAYBE DIFFERENT LOCKERS IN THE VARSITY VERSUS THE JV.
I KNOW THE SIZE IS DIFFERENT, BUT HAVE YOU GUYS FIRMED UP WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO?
>> I DON'T HAVE THE COMPLETE INFORMATION ON THAT.
>> IS IT NOT THE PICTURES THAT WE HAVE IN HERE?
>> BUT IT WASN'T CLEAR ON WHAT.
>> WHICH ONES THEY WERE ORDERING? THE CONTRACT SAYS, THE QUOTE 1 IS FOR VARSITY LA ROCK ROOM WITH OPEN FACE LOCKERS AND ONE SIDE WITH TOOTH TIER LOCKERS FOR THE JV ROOM.
IF YOUR CUSTOMER CAN MIX AND MATCH THEY CAN.
THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO MODIFY THE PRICE AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SPECIFIC, WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THIS PRICE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO?
>> WHICH LOCKERS DID YOU ALL DECIDE TO DO?
>> I'LL GATHER THAT INFORMATION.
COACH MOFFITT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH COACH GOLD PRETTY PISS ON THIS AND I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU EASILY.
>> GREAT. AND LIKE THE NEXT SIX MINUTES NOW.
>> THAT'S FINE. I DO APPRECIATE YOU BROKE OUT.
>> DO WE WANT TO HOLD THE VOTE ON THIS BEFORE?
>> I THINK THE WAY THE MATH WOULD WORK.
BECAUSE I SAY IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO ALL THE TWO-TIER LOCKERS IN ALL FOUR ROOMS, THEN YOU WOULD JUST DOUBLE THE PRICE OF THE TWO-TIER LOCKERS AND REMOVE THE COST.
I THINK IT'D BE A WASH YOU THE WAY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT.
>> I'M SORRY. I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY OF THE CHANGE. SORRY THOU.
>> ANSWER THAT ANYTIME RECENTLY WITH ANY OF THE LOCKER CHANGES, I THINK IT'S BEEN WHAT THEY'VE STUCK WITH THROUGH THE PROCESS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE A COMMENT.
I SAW, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AND IT'S A 17 PERCENT UNUSABLE AND THE ONLY OTHER ONE THAT'S AT THAT LEVEL IS THE DOLLSTROM GIRLS.
>> HOPEFULLY, AND WE DON'T HAVE A REPORT YET ON THE DUSTER BOYS.
>> IT MAY BE SIMILAR THAT CAMPUS IS ALSO.
WE'LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS ON RECYCLING AND GOING THROUGH HOW WE MIGHT REPLACE SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE IN THAT CLOSER TO 20 PERCENT UNUSABLE.
>> MARK, I'M GUESSING THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE FOCUSED ON.
>> WE'RE USING THAT INFORMATION TO DECIDE SOME OF THOSE PROCESS [OVERLAPPING]OF THAT.
>> GOOD NEWS IS, LIKE MR. UNCLE SAID, A LOT OF THEM ARE IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IS SHOWING UP HERE.
WE KNOW WE LIKE TO BELIEVE DATA AND NOT JUST ANECDOTAL STORIES, SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE ACTUAL DATA.
MS. [INAUDIBLE] DO YOU HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT?
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY, I KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT THEY COULD NOT BE FIXED.
THAT WASN'T AN OPTION, SO IT WAS NO OPTION BUT TO REPLACE THEM.
SOME OF THESE OTHERS THAT ARE UNUSABLE, SURELY THEY CAN BE FIXED.
AS LONG AS WE DO WE HAVE THAT IN THE PIPELINE AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ARE FIXED AND THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT HAVE A WORKING LOCKER AND THE ONES THAT ARE UNUSABLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE FOR THESE STUDENTS IN THOSE PROGRAMS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS A WORKING LOCKER.
>> SURE. YES. OUR COACHES DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF THAT.
THAT'S ALWAYS, LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER, SHARING IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST PRACTICE, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT YOUR PRIVATE LOCKED ROOM AREA.
SO FAR THE COACH HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB.
MAKE SURE THOSE KIDS HAVE USABLE LOCKERS AND THAT THEY'RE NOT EXCEEDING, BUT IT'S GETTING CLOSE, AND SOME OF THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE GROWING VERY RAPIDLY.
>> DO THEY JUST PUT IN WORK ORDERS AS THEY DO ANY NORMAL THING FOR LOCKERS THAT ARE BROKEN? THANK YOU.
>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THERE AT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE REMOVAL, PURCHASE, AND INSTALLATION OF NEW ATHLETIC LOCKERS FOR BASEBALL AND BOYS SOCCER PROGRAMS AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, AND THE AMOUNT OF 64,690.39 AS PRESENTED.
>> MOVED BY MRS. RUNKLE, SECONDED BY DR. PEREZ-GONZALEZ.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN, ZERO. SORRY, GUYS.
[01:10:04]
MY CONTACTS ARE DOING SOMETHING, MAYBE I NEED MY NEW HANDY-DANDY.YEAH [LAUGHTER] I DO NEED THAT.
I'M NOT GOING TO WEAR READERS.
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
[L.7. Consideration and possible approval of the purchase of replacement floor scrubbing machines - Smith Supply Company]
NEXT UP WE HAVE L7. THIS IS ON PAGE 62.THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF SOME FLOOR-SCRUBBING MACHINES.
THIS IS ON PAGE 62 OF YOUR AGENDA.
I'M GOING TO GET THERE QUICKLY.
TEAM, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS ITEM? FOR MR. CLEAVER, I'M ASSUMING.
THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE REPLACEMENT FLOOR SCRUBBERS FROM SMITH'S SUPPLY COMPANY, FOR AN ESTIMATED COST NOT TO EXCEED $75,280 AS PRESENTED.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 7-0. TEAM, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE UP ITEM M3.
[M.3. Demographic Report]
WE HAVE SOME GUESTS HERE TONIGHT FROM OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHER.THAT IS PASA. ON PAGE 83, YOU ALSO HAVE SOME POWERPOINT SLIDES AND DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY AND YOU HAVE A BINDER OF A 200-PAGE REPORT AND I'M SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE ALREADY LOOKED OVER.
JUST JOKING. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED THAT TONIGHT.
WE HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TONIGHT.
MR. CLEAVER, ARE YOU GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR SPEAKERS?
>> YES, MA'AM. SURE I AM. PROUD TO INTRODUCE OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHER, IF YOU ALL REMEMBER ON PAGE 83, BACK IN AUGUST, JOEL HIRED PASA AND THEY'RE GOING TO DELIVER ANNUAL REPORT AND GIVE US EXPECTED IN A HIGH AND A LOW RANGE.
TONIGHT WITH US, WE HAVE JUSTIN SILHAVY.
HE'S THE LEAD DEMOGRAPHER ON THE PROJECT AND ALSO CHRIS POOLE, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, WHO DOES THE PLANNING PORTION OUT OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS.
IT'S A LONG PRESENTATION, ABOUT 46 SLIDES.
I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO JUSTIN TO GET RIGHT ON IT.
HOPEFULLY SOME OF US HAVE ALREADY LOOKED AT IT.
>> GREAT. CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME WELL? SOMETIMES I GET IN TROUBLE FOR NOT SPEAKING TOO LOUDLY IN THE MICROPHONE WHERE IT'S TOO FAR AWAY.
YOU ALSO HAVE 10 COPIES OF WHAT WE CALL OUR DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW MAP.
IT'S IN SMALL FORMAT IN THIS REPORT, BUT IT'S GOT A PLETHORA OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ENTIRE DISTRICT OR YOUR LAND PARCELS, YOUR SUBDIVISIONS.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE TO SEE IT.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'LL GET STARTED.
I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE BACKGROUND OF OUR COMPANY AND I WON'T GO OVER THAT, BUT I WILL HAVE SOME METHODOLOGY TO GO OVER BRIEFLY AS WE GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PRESENTATION.
I'M GOING TO JUST SAY NEXT SLIDE HERE TWICE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GO AGAIN.
YEAH. LET'S GET STARTED WITH JUST AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE YOU STAND IN AUSTIN METRO IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT.
YOU'RE AT, ACTUALLY 2023 THIS YEAR.
YOU WENT UP BY ABOUT 900 STUDENTS.
THESE ARE LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE DATA FOR EVERY ONE YET.
SNAPSHOT WAS JUST THE END OF OCTOBER AND JUST A HEADS UP.
EVERYTHING WE DO WE PROJECT FOR THE END OF OCTOBER.
THAT'S YOUR OFFICIAL SNAPSHOT DATE.
JUST KNOW THAT ALL OF OUR PROJECTIONS ARE IN TILL THE END OF OCTOBER.
THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS THAT YOU'VE INCREASED BY OVER A THOUSAND STUDENTS IN THAT TIMEFRAME BETWEEN 2020 AND 2021.
AGAIN, YOU INCREASE BY 900 THIS YEAR.
THE TWO DISTRICTS THAT ARE HIGHER THAN YOU ARE LEANDER AND LIBERTY HILL ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE METRO AREA.
BUT YOUR NUMBER 3 FOR ONE-YEAR GROWTH AND FIVE-YEAR GROWTH ON THAT NEXT SLIDE.
FIVE-YEAR GROWTH IS ABOUT 2,200 STUDENTS, THAT IS GOING TO START CREEPING UP.
IT SHOULD START CREEPING UP RATHER QUICKLY BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A MASSIVE GROWTH PHASE RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.
ON OUR NEXT SLIDE HERE, THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S IN CHAPTER 1 OF THE INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER IN YOUR REPORT.
I'D JUST SAY GO LOOK AT THAT ONE DAY.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER A LOT OF THIS TODAY.
BUT IT'S ANYTHING REGARDING YOUR CENSUS DATA,
[01:15:04]
A LOT OF TRENDS AND THE DISTRICT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.MOVING FORWARD, WE START EVERY STUDY LOOKING AT THE YOUNGEST COHORT WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR STUDENTS.
THIS JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT YOUR ENROLLMENT IN KINDERGARTEN, ESSENTIALLY 5-6 YEAR OLDS, VERSUS WHO WAS ACTUALLY BORN IN THIS DISTRICT.
YOUR LIVE BIRTHS FROM MOTHERS IN ACISD.
THAT BLUE LINE IS YOUR KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT.
THE RED LINE IS YOUR BIRTHS ADJUSTED FIVE YEARS SO THEY ALIGN WITH IT.
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THAT GAP HAS NARROWED AND THAT'S ACTUALLY NORMAL THESE DAYS.
[LAUGHTER] IT USED TO BE THAT IF YOU ARE A GROWING DISTRICT WITH A LOT OF NEW HOUSING, YOU HAD MORE KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS THAN WHEN THEY WERE BORN.
THEY MOVED IN. PEOPLE WERE BORN.
CHARTERS ARE NOW SIPHONING OFF A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT GAP NARROW.
THIS YEAR YOU HAD ABOUT THE EXACT SAME NUMBER OF KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS AS YOU DID WHO WERE BORN FIVE YEARS AGO.
THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
BUT WE DO EXPECT YOUR BIRTHS TO CONTINUE TICKING UPWARDS AS THE NEW HOUSING COMES IN.
THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE IS JUST SHOWING YOU A HISTORICAL ENROLLMENT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CHARTS IN CHAPTER 1 ABOUT HISTORICAL ENROLLMENT.
THIS IS JUST SHOWING THAT COVID LOSS IN 2020, MOSTLY IN THE ELEMENTARY GRADES.
THAT'S THE BLUE BAR. IT'S REBOUNDED.
YOU REBOUNDED NICELY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.
NOW I WILL SAY YOU REBOUNDED AT A TIME WHEN YOUR GROWTH WAS PICKING UP.
A LOT OF DISTRICTS THAT WE WORK WITH THAT DIDN'T HAVE THAT HOUSING GROWTH, DIDN'T SEE THE SAME COVID REBOUND THAT WE SAW HERE. THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
THE NEXT SLIDE. I HAVE TWO MORE.
THERE YOU GO. WE TALK A LOT, THIS IS GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF WHAT WE DO.
WE GEOCODE YOUR STUDENTS SO WE KNOW WHERE EVERYONE LIVES IN THIS GEOGRAPHY.
WE KNOW WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE CERTAIN NUMBERS OF STUDENTS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS, ON AVERAGE, ALL OF YOUR SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS HAVE 0.5 STUDENTS PER HOME.
FOR EVERY 100 HOUSES, 50 ACISD STUDENTS, THAT'S ALREADY TAKING AWAY STUDENTS FROM CHARTERS, PRIVATES ANYWHERE ELSE.
THAT'S A GOOD BASE OF YOUR AVERAGE.
NOW NOT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS 0.5.
IN CHAPTER 3, YOU WILL SEE WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE MORE, WHICH HAVE LESS.
SOME OF YOUR NEWEST NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ACTUALLY NOT AT THAT 0.5.
I WILL SAY THIS, 0.5 IS A LITTLE LOWER THAN MOST OF OUR SUBURBAN DISTRICTS.
MOST SUBURBAN DISTRICTS HAVE AROUND 0.55, EVEN UPWARDS OF 0.6.
SOME HAVE EVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE.
YOU ARE TRENDING A LITTLE LOWER THAN MOST.
IT'S HARD TO SAY EXACTLY WHY I HAVE MY THEORIES.
CHARTERS HAVE TAKEN A FEW STUDENTS AWAY, OF COURSE.
WE'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
BUT APARTMENTS ARE SEEING 0.23 STUDENTS PER UNIT.
THAT'S VERY TYPICAL. CERTAIN APARTMENTS HAVE MANY FEWER.
THE NEXT SLIDE IS A MAP, JUST SHOWING YOU THESE RATIOS.
ANY SUBDIVISION HIGHLIGHTED IN RED HERE HAS A RATIO OVER 65, SO MORE THAN 0.65 STUDENTS PER HOME.
A LOT OF THOSE ARE ON THE EAST, BUT THEN THERE'S EVEN SOME ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE DISTRICT.
BUT A LOT OF YOUR NEWER NEIGHBORHOODS.
TAKE A LOOK AT SUNFIELD AND BLANCO VISTA, THEY'RE IN THE 0.32-0.4 RANGE.
WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS AS WE PROJECT STUDENTS FORWARD.
FOR THOSE HOMES IN SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY ON THE GROUND.
FOR EVERY OCCUPIED HOME IN SUNFIELD, WE HAVE 0.3 FOR STUDENTS.
THAT'S A PRETTY LOW NUMBER, BUT IT CAN GO UP AS THESE HOUSES AGE AND PEOPLE WITH NEWBORNS HEAD INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THESE FACTORS.
THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, I WANT YOU TO JUST HONE IN ON THAT SECOND ROW.
WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS GROWTH IN THE LAST YEAR.
WE LOOK AT SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE BUILT OUT AND ACTIVELY DEVELOPING.
THAT SECOND ROW SHOWS YOU YOUR ACTIVE SUBDIVISIONS, SINGLE-FAMILY SUB-DIVISION.
THAT'S WERE 84 PERCENT OF YOUR GROWTH WAS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, JUST FROM 2021-2022.
APARTMENTS ONLY HAD ABOUT FIVE PERCENT AND MOBILE HOME MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES TOOK ABOUT NINE.
APARTMENT GROWTH CAN VARY YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT'S DEVELOPING, SO JUST KNOW THAT.
ON OUR NEXT SLIDE LET'S TALK ABOUT CHARTERS.
I DON'T WANT TO DWELL ON THEM, BUT YOU HAD TWO REALLY BIG CHARTER SCHOOLS OPEN UP THIS YEAR.
THOSE TWO SCHOOLS TOOK AWAY A LOT OF STUDENTS.
NOT EVERYONE WAS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ALREADY.
THINK ABOUT THAT. SOME MAY HAVE BEEN, SOME MAY HAVE JUST MOVED IN.
THOSE STUDENTS WHO WERE TAKEN AWAY, BY THE WAY, YOUR KINDERGARTEN CLASS LOST ABOUT 100 STUDENTS THIS YEAR.
WHEN WE HAVE NEW CHARTERS OPEN,
[01:20:01]
WE SEE THAT LOSS IN THOSE EARLY GRADES BECAUSE NOT EVERY CHARTER OPENS WITH ALL GRADE LEVELS.WE CAN'T ASSUME THAT KINDERGARTEN LOSS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO KEEP TICKING UPWARDS, BUT WE HAVE TO MONITOR THESE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
WE INCREASED THESE FOUR YEARS HERE, 2018-2021.
WE KNOW HOW MANY CHARTER STUDENTS LIVED IN THIS DISTRICT AND ATTENDED CHARTER SCHOOLS.
WE ASSUME THERE WERE UPWARDS OF 900-1,000 ADDITIONAL ONES THAT WERE TAKEN AWAY BY THESE TWO CHARTERS AND A COUPLE OF GROWING CHARTER SYSTEMS. TYPICALLY, OVER THE LAST 4-6 YEARS, YOU'VE LOST ABOUT, ON AVERAGE 400 STUDENTS PER YEAR TO CHARTERS.
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE, AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR MODERATE GROWTH SCENARIO, I'LL REPORT LATER, THAT'S THE NUMBER WE'RE LOOKING AT.
THAT CAN CHANGE THE GROWTH SCENARIO OR THAT CAN CHANGE ON A DIME.
[LAUGHTER] WE JUST DON'T KNOW TYPICALLY ABOUT A YEAR OUT WHERE THESE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO LOCATE.
LET'S MOVE FORWARD. THIS MAP SHOWS YOU THOSE CHARTER SCHOOL LOCATIONS.
THE NEW CHARTER SITES ARE HIGHLIGHTED THERE WITH THE RED AND YELLOW DOTS.
THE ATTENDED ZONES YOU SEE IN THE BACKGROUND ARE ACTUALLY ATTENDED ZONES FROM 2021.
THIS DATA COMES FROM THE STATE.
THIS IS THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER STUDENTS TO CHARTER SCHOOLS FROM EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IT'S NOT PERFECT.
THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE PERFECT DATA, BUT IT'S THE BEST WE'VE GOT.
A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE DISTRICT, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE LOCATED.
TYPICALLY, ABOUT 3-4 MILES IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS COME FROM WHO ATTEND CHARTER SCHOOLS, SO WE HAVE TO REALLY MONITOR THIS.
MOVING FORWARD, OUR NEXT SLIDE.
ONE MORE. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH.
I WANT TO ACTUALLY SKIP OVER MOST OF THE EMPLOYMENT BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF BULLET POINTS HERE.
TESLA, OF COURSE, THEY'RE A GIGAFACTORY.
WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT THAT FAR FROM THIS DISTRICT, SO THAT HAS A HUGE IMPACT.
ANYTIME WE SEE MAJOR EMPLOYERS MOVE INTO A REGION, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INFLUX OF HOUSING AND WE'VE SEEN IT IN ALL OF OUR EAST SIDE DISTRICTS LIKE ELGIN MAYOR DEL VALLE.
YOU'RE NO EXCEPTION. YOU'RE GETTING SOME OF THAT GROWTH BUT ALSO THAT FOURTH BULLET POINT UNDER EMPLOYMENT WAREHOUSE AND FLEX SPACE, YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF THAT.
YOU ARE IN A PRIMO LOCATION FOR WAREHOUSING DISTRIBUTION, SMACK DAB BETWEEN BOTH METRO AREAS, AND EVEN JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM I-10, WHERE YOU CAN GET TO HOUSTON AS WELL.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE SEEING A LOT OF THAT GROWTH I THINK, AND IT DEPENDS ON THE COMPANY THAT MOVES IN HOW MANY EMPLOYERS THERE ARE.
THEY CAN VARY WIDELY, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WELL. THE HOUSING MARKET.
WE KNOW WE HAD SOME EXTREMELY LOW RATES, HISTORICALLY LOW RATES JUST NOT EVEN 6-9 MONTHS AGO.
YOU HAD A BIG SURGE IN HOUSING IN 2021 BECAUSE OF IT.
WE KNOW NOW THAT OF COURSE RATES ARE BACK UP TO MID-2000 LEVELS.
WE'RE STILL SEEING HOME SALE BUT A LOT OF BUILDERS ARE TELLING US THAT DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE COMMUNITY, IF IT'S IN A REALLY GOOD SPOT, LOCATED NEAR RETAIL AND LOCATED REALLY CLOSE TO FREEWAYS IN A GREAT LOCATION, THE SALES HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN REDUCED, BUT THE FARTHER OUT YOU GET NEWER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT JUST DON'T HAVE THAT SAME MOMENTUM, THEY'RE SLOWING DOWN QUITE A BIT.
WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF IT RIGHT NOW.
I CAN TELL YOU WE'VE BEEN VERY CONSERVATIVE, PARTICULARLY WITH VERY NEW NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE JUST BREAKING GROUND.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF THEM, AND I KNOW EVERYONE'S GETTING SCARED.
[LAUGHTER] EVERY CLIENT I TALKED TO RIGHT NOW IS WORRIED BUT JUST KNOW THAT THE ECONOMY GOES UP AND IT GOES DOWN.
A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE SAY IS PREPARE FOR THE MODERATE GROWTH SCENARIO IN YOUR LONG-RANGE PLANNING, ESPECIALLY FOR FACILITIES.
TYPICALLY WHERE WE CITE SCHOOLS, OR WHERE WE SAY YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THE SCHOOLS ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE, BUT IT COULD ALTER THE YEAR THAT THEY'RE NEEDED IN THE LONG TERM, SO THINK ABOUT THAT.
BUT THE ONE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER HERE IS THAT YOUR GROWTH WAS COMING NO MATTER WHAT.
YOU WERE TICKING UPWARDS, AND I THINK THAT'S THE NEXT SLIDE, ACTUALLY.
I'LL TALK ABOUT IT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS OUR METHODOLOGY REAL BRIEFLY.
EVERY PROJECTION IS BROKEN OUT BY PLANNING UNIT.
WHAT THESE PLANNING UNITS ARE IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN BRIEFED, THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY YOUR ATTENDANT ZONES EXPLODED INTO LITTLE REGIONS OF THE DISTRICT AND THEY'RE BORDERED BY MAJOR ROADS, MAJOR RIVERS, FREEWAYS, ETC.
THESE ARE PLANNING UNITS THAT YOU CAN USE FOR LONG-RANGE PLANNING TO CREATE SCHOOL ZONES.
[01:25:02]
CHRIS IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER ON.BUT ALL OF OUR HOUSING PROJECTIONS AND STUDENT PROJECTIONS ARE IN YOUR REPORT BY PLANNING IT.
THE NEXT SLIDE, REAL QUICKLY, WE CONSIDER WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT NEW HOUSES, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO, NOT JUST IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT 10 YEARS OUT.
WE OFTEN HAVE NO IDEA WHO'S GOING TO SELL THEIR LAND. WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET.
WE JUST KNOW WHAT WE KNOW. BUT WE CAN MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ON WHERE NEW HOMES CAN GO.
ONE THING WE DO IS LOOK AT INHIBITORS.
FLOODPLAINS ARE SHOWN ON THIS MAP.
WE KNOW WE CAN'T BUILD ON THESE FLOOD ZONES AND THESE FLOODWAYS.
WE IMMEDIATELY AREN'T GOING TO PROJECT THERE.
THERE ARE OTHER INHIBITORS SUCH AS LAND OWNED BY CITIES THAT'S PRESERVED.
LARGE CONCRETE PLANTS, QUARRIES, WHATEVER, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE LIKELY NOT GOING TO SEE DEVELOPMENT THERE.
ON OUR NEXT SLIDE, YOU HAVE NINE CITIES.
WHEN WE START LOOKING AT HOUSING GROWTH, WE ASK THESE CITIES, WE INTERVIEW THEM.
WE FIND OUT, WELL WHAT'S NEXT.
WE KNOW WHAT'S BUILDING CURRENTLY, BUT WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S BEING PLANNED, WHAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS DO YOU HAVE WITH DEVELOPERS.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE ASK CITIES, WE GET PLANNING DOCUMENTS.
WE KNOW SOME CITIES LIKE DRIPPING SPRINGS AREN'T GOING TO ALLOW SMALL LOT DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR JURISDICTION IN YOUR DISTRICT, SO WE CONSIDER THAT AS WELL.
EVERY CITY HAS DIFFERENT ORDINANCES, PARTICULARLY FOR APARTMENT GROWTH.
ON OUR NEXT SLIDE, I WANT TO SAY THIS IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST CONCERN AT PASA [LAUGHTER] LAND ASSESSMENT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SEE NEW HOMES OR NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE OUT YEARS? THE OUT YEARS BEING SAY YEAR 5 TO YEAR 10.
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE MAY STILL OWN FARMS AND THEY MAY STILL RUN FARMS ON THEIR LAND, BUT WE KNOW GROWTH IS HEADED THEIR DIRECTION.
WE LOOK AT ALL OF YOUR PROPERTY IN ANY LARGE PIECE OF LAND, WE ACTUALLY MAKE AN ASSESSMENT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS DEVELOPABLE.
THEN WE THINK ABOUT, WELL, HOW MANY COULD WE SEE, SAY, IN SEVEN YEARS, EIGHT YEARS, NINE YEARS, 10 YEARS, WE KEEP THE GROWTH MOVING FORWARD.
IF WE DIDN'T, WE'D BE DOING YOU A DISSERVICE.
THE NEXT SLIDE, JUST A COUPLE OF HOT POINTS HERE TO TALK ABOUT.
WE'RE PROJECTING 40,000 PLUS SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING UNITS TO BE OCCUPIED.
THAT WORD IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT MAYBE FROM WHAT YOU'VE BEEN USED TO IN THE PAST.
WE LOOK AT OCCUPIED HOMES VERSUS SAY STARTS OR WHATEVER METRIC YOU WANT TO LOOK AT, HOW MANY HOMES WILL BE OCCUPIED EACH YEAR BY THE END OF OCTOBER BECAUSE IT'S NOT UNTIL THEY'RE OCCUPIED, YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE STUDENTS.
WE CONSIDER THAT IN ALL OF OUR PROJECTIONS, YOU HAVE THREE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE GOING TO LEAD THE PACK IN TERMS OF OCCUPANCIES, SUN-FILLED WATER STONE, AND PRAIRIE LAKES.
WATER STONE AND PRAIRIE LAKES DON'T HAVE ANY HOMES ON THE GROUND YET, BUT THEY'RE IN YOUR TOP 3.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY INTERESTING I THINK.
SOUTHEAST HAYS, CISD IS WHERE 35 PERCENT OF THESE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE GOING TO BE LOCATED IN THAT SMALL AREA BOUNDED BY 35, 21 HIGH ROAD, AND SAN MARCOS CISD.
IT'S A VERY SMALL GEOGRAPHY TO HAVE A LARGE PORTION OF YOUR ACTUAL GROWTH.
WE DO PROJECT FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING AS WELL.
ALL OF THAT IS OUTLINED IN OUR REPORT.
NEXT, THIS IS THE SLIDE I WAS ALLUDING TO EARLIER. LOOK AT THOSE BLUE BARS.
WE HAD TO USE CLOSING DATA [LAUGHTER] TO GET THIS HISTORICAL BECAUSE WE HAD NEVER WORKED WITH YOU BEFORE.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOKED AT CLOSING DATA FOR NEW HOMES, SINGLE-FAMILY ONLY, FROM 2018-2022, THERE WAS A 109 PERCENT INCREASE IN CLOSINGS.
YOU ARE ALREADY INCREASING PRE-COVID, YOU ARE INCREASING THE 2021 MORTGAGE BOOM.
WE HAVE ESTIMATED THAT YOU HAD OVER 2,700 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES OCCUPIED BETWEEN OCTOBER 21 AND IN OCTOBER 22.
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT AS YOU DRIVE AROUND THE DISTRICT.
THOSE ORANGE BARS ARE PROJECTED SINGLE-FAMILY GROWTH PER YEAR.
IT'S STRIKING. IT'S ALMOST IN SOME CAVEATS DOUBLE WHAT 2021 WAS.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU, THEY'RE HERE.
THESE DEVELOPERS ARE GETTING GOING.
THE NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE IFFY.
THAT'S IN OUR MODERATE AND LOW GROWTH PROJECTIONS.
AS I SAID, WE'VE BEEN CONSERVATIVE.
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'LL HIT THAT 3,200 MARK NEXT YEAR.
IN OUR MODERATE GROWTH SCENARIO, WE HAVE EVEN BEEN A LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THAT.
BUT WE HAVE TO GO ON WHAT WE KNOW TODAY.
WHAT WE KNOW TODAY IS THAT YOU'RE ON AN UPWARD TREND IN TERMS OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING GROWTH.
THE NEXT SLIDE IS GOING TO SHOW YOU A TABLE IN THE REPORT.
THIS TABLE HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
IT'S IN CHAPTER 2. THERE ARE NINE PAGES TO IT.
[01:30:03]
IT SHOWS YOU EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT OR EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LAND WE'VE PROJECTED FUTURE SINGLE-FAMILY OR MULTIFAMILY OR MANUFACTURED HOUSING.YOU CAN SEE SOME NOTES BUT THOSE MIDDLE COLUMNS THERE, ACTUALLY HAVE A LIVE COUNT, AS LIVE AS WE CAN GET IT FROM ABOUT OCTOBER A LIFE COUNT OF HOW MANY UNITS ARE OCCUPIED IN EACH DEVELOPMENT.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS ON THE GROUND WHO DRIVES AROUND AND COUNTS EVERY SINGLE LOT OR EVERY SINGLE HOME THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION SO WE CAN GET A FEEL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PACE AND ONCE WE START WORKING WITH HIM ANNUALLY, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD THING.
WE CAN GET A FEEL FOR HOW THINGS ARE CHANGING IN EACH PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.
YOU'LL SEE THAT DATA RIGHT THERE AND THEN THOSE OTHER GRAY BAR COLUMNS ARE ACTUALLY YOUR HOUSING PROJECTIONS.
THE VERY LAST COLUMN IS OUR PROJECTIONS OF STUDENTS PER HOME.
I TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. HOW MANY STUDENTS PER HOME? YOU HAD THAT 0.5 AVERAGE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE RIGHT, WE DON'T HAVE A 0.5 DOWN THE LINE AND WE DON'T HAVE A 0.23 FOR EVERY APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT'S PLANNED.
WE LOOK AT EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.
FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN WHISPER RIGHT NOW. THERE'S TWO ACTUALLY.
ONE IS A SENIOR PROPERTY, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY STUDENTS THERE.
BUT THAT YELLOW ONE RIGHT THERE, THAT'S ACTUALLY A PROPERTY THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SAN MARCOS HOUSING AUTHORITY.
YOU HAVE FOUR LOW-INCOME PROPERTIES CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN THE DISTRICT.
THOSE PROPERTIES ARE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER STUDENT YIELDS.
A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION IS IN THE NOTES.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I JUST HAVE A SERIES OF MAPS.
THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF PROJECTIONS.
THESE ORANGE AND RED AREAS, THEY ARE HOTSPOTS OF GROWTH.
YOU'LL RECOGNIZE ALL THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD NAMES, NO DOUBT.
A FEWER NEW LIKE TURNER'S CROSSING UP IN THE FAR NORTH.
THESE ARE PLANNING UNITS SHOWING YOU THE RED ONES ARE WHEREVER YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE OVER 150 NEW HOMES JUST BY NEXT OCTOBER.
THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE FIVE-YEAR GROWTH MAP.
SAME SERIES, JUST FIVE YEARS OUT THROUGH 2027.
YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF NEW NAMES ON HERE.
FOR INSTANCE, PRAIRIE LAKES, WATER STONE, LIMESTONE CREEK, THE RASTER GUARD TRACT.
THESE DON'T HAVE ANY HOMES ON THEM YET BUT THERE ARE ALREADY IN YOUR HIGH-GROWTH DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS.
THE NEXT MAP IS JUST SAME MAP, 10 YEARS OUT.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THAT RED SPREADING OUT ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
A LOT OF IT THOUGH IS CONCENTRATED IN THAT 150 CORRIDOR BETWEEN KYLE AND SAN MARCOS, RIGHT THERE, SANDWICHED BETWEEN BOTH CITIES.
THAT IS A HOTSPOT, BUT YOU DO HAVE HOTSPOTS EVERYWHERE ELSE TOO.
IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, APARTMENT GROWTH, I ALLUDED TO IT EARLIER, WE HAVE PROJECTED 15,000 PLUS APARTMENT UNITS TO BE OCCUPIED OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY 11 PROPERTIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION BUT WE LOOK FORWARD BEYOND THIS TO WHERE WE KNOW CITIES ARE GOING TO ALLOW APARTMENTS WHERE DEVELOPERS HAVE ALREADY PLANNED APARTMENTS AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE PROJECTED THAT AS WELL.
THIS MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE AS WELL.
WE GO OUT AND WE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE FOR APARTMENT GROWTH.
YOU MAY HAVE UPWARDS OF FROM THOSE 15,000 UNITS, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1,000 AND 2,000 STUDENTS BY YEAR 10 LIVING IN THEM.
NEXT. THESE ARE THE APARTMENTS MAPPED OUT.
REALLY ALONG THE 35 CORAL, THAT'S WHERE MOST OF YOUR GROWTH IS FOR MULTIFAMILY.
THE BARS TELL YOU THE STORY, STARTING OUT SLOWER, YOUR TOTAL GROWTH IN TERMS OF NEW HOUSING UNITS, SOMEWHERE AROUND 4,000 UNITS. THAT'S EVERYTHING.
THAT'S SINGLE-FAMILY, THAT'S APARTMENTS, THAT'S MANUFACTURED HOUSING.
WE HAVE IT ALL BROKEN OUT HERE FOR YOU.
BY THE TIME YOU GET TO YEAR 5, 6, 7 YOU CAN BE LOOKING AT OVER 6,000 HOUSING UNITS OCCUPIED EVERY YEAR IN THIS DISTRICT.
A TOTAL OF 58,000 HOUSING UNITS OCCUPIED.
THAT'S 40,000 SINGLE-FAMILY, 15,000 MULTI-FAMILY, AND THEN THE DIFFERENCE IS IN MANUFACTURED AND AGE RESTRICTED.
THERE'S ONLY ONE DISTRICT I WORK WITH MORE IT'S LAMAR CISD IN SOUTHWEST HOUSTON.
IT'S THE ENTIRETY OF THE SOUTHWEST HOUSTON SUBURBS.
IT'S A MASSIVE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEY'RE APPROACHING 70 A YEAR.
NEXT SLIDE. THERE WE GO. WE THINK ABOUT A LOT WHEN WE PUT THESE PROJECTIONS TOGETHER.
I'VE TALKED ABOUT HOUSING AND STUDENT RATIOS A LOT.
REAL QUICK HERE ON HIT ON, NEW CONSTRUCTION, THAT'S THE LEADING FACTOR IN YOUR GROWTH, BIRTHS AS WELL.
THE INCOMING KINDERGARTEN CLASS MATTERS A LOT BECAUSE
[01:35:02]
THAT CLASS KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER AS TIME GOES ON BUT IF YOU START LOW, THAT CLASS IS GOING TO ALWAYS BE SMALL.YEARS LIKE THIS YEAR MATTER A LOT.
WE KNOW THAT YOU HAD A REDUCTION IN YOUR KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT THAT'S NEVER GOING TO FULLY BE RECOVERED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T START WITH THIS MANY AND THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE IF YOU START WITH A LOT.
WE AGE THE STUDENT POPULATION FORWARD.
CHRIS WILL TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT.
IT ACCOUNTS FOR BULGES IN THE POPULATION.
SOME NEIGHBORHOODS COULD BE REGENERATING.
IN SOME OF YOUR OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS, ARE WE SEEING MORE STUDENTS IN THEM? WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT ON A NEIGHBORHOOD BASIS.
WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD MOST LIKELY 1,500 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS THIS YEAR, PERHAPS EVEN MORE.
BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO CHARTER SCHOOLS AND A COUPLE THAT WERE GROWING, YOU ONLY HAD ABOUT 900 ADDED STUDENTS.
HAD YOU HAD 1,500, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN ONE OF YOUR LARGEST GROWTH YEARS EVER, I BELIEVE.
WE'VE ASSUMED NO MORE PANDEMIC RECAPTURE.
WE'VE JUST PRETTY MUCH STOPPED THAT BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S ACTUALLY BALANCED OUT AND LEVELED OUT.
PEOPLE HAVE FOUND HOMES FOR THEIR STUDENTS AT THIS POINT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I HAVE THE THREE SCENARIOS OF GROWTH LISTED.
ALL OF THESE FACTORS I'VE TALKED ABOUT MOSTLY NEW HOUSING AFFECTING THESE, GO INTO CREATING THESE GROWTH SCENARIOS.
THAT DOTTED LINE IS THE MODERATE GROWTH.
THAT'S THE LINE WE TELL YOU TO FOLLOW, PARTICULARLY WITH LONG-RANGE PLANNING FOR NEW FACILITIES.
BY 2027, YOU COULD HAVE UPWARDS OF 30,000 A LITTLE OVER 30,000 STUDENTS.
THAT'S A LOT HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU'VE BEEN USED TO SEEING.
ALTHOUGH THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS YOU HAVE SEEN HIGHER GROWTH.
IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE THAT IT'S TICKING UPWARDS BUT WE'VE ALSO ASSUMED THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE THIS GROWTH THROUGH 2032 AND WHERE YOU COULD SEE OVER 40,000 STUDENTS BY THEN.
NOW, THERE IS A BIGGER GAP BETWEEN THE LOW AND THE MODERATE GROWTH.
ONE THING I WILL SAY IS THAT IF YOU START SEEING MORE CHARTER SCHOOLS, RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE SEEING ABOUT 1-2 EVERY 2-3 YEARS, BUT IF YOU START SEEING 2-3 POP-UP EVERY 2-3 YEARS, YOU COULD DEFINITELY SEE THAT LOWER GROWTH HAPPENING.
YOU JUST WOULDN'T HAVE AS MANY STUDENTS IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE CAN'T, UNFORTUNATELY, PREDICT WHERE AND WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD BUT WE CAN GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE AND I'VE JUST EXPLAINED WHAT THAT WOULD BE.
[LAUGHTER] THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS INCLUDED THAT ARE IN THE REPORT BUT I WON'T GO OVER THOSE RIGHT NOW.
A HIGHER GROWTH, FOR INSTANCE, COULD MEAN THOSE STUDENT RATIOS, STUDENTS PER HOME, TICK UPWARDS A LITTLE HIGHER IN THOSE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS.
INSTEAD OF GETTING THOSE 0.4 NUMBERS, YOU START SEEING 0.5, 0.6 NUMBERS IN THOSE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS.
IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, YES. CHRIS IS GOING TO COME UP.
CHRIS SPECIALIZES IN PUTTING ALL THIS DATA TOGETHER AND TELLING US HOW IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY AFFECT YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES.
>> I'M GOING TO TRY TO HIT THE HIGH POINTS ON A HANDFUL OF SLIDES HERE, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE TO DO.
I'VE SEEN YOUR AGENDA. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS MOVING US UP HERE.
IF YOU GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'VE GOT JUST A LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT PROJECTIONS, ABOUT PLANNING UNIT.
JUSTIN MENTIONED THE PLANNING UNITS, THAT'S OUR ORGANIZATIONAL SCHEME.
NOW THAT WE HAVE THE DATA GENERATED, THAT'S HOW WE'LL TALK.
THAT'S THE LANGUAGE THAT I'LL BE TALKING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT.
WHAT WE HAVE IS THE DAY IS ALL GATHERED TO THAT PLANNING UNIT LEVEL.
WE HAVE PROJECTIONS BY YEAR, BY GRADE GROUP FOR EACH YEAR OF THE 10 YEAR TIME FRAME THAT WE HAVE.
FOR PLANNING UNIT 1, WE HAVE HOW MANY ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WE EXPECT TO BE LIVING IN THAT PLANNING UNIT IN 2023, IN 2024, AND 2025.
WE FIRST GENERATE THE DATA, THEN WE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER INTO YOUR CURRENT ATTENDANCE ZONES.
THEN WE CAN BREAK IT APART AND DO PLANNING WITH IT.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE OPEN AN ELEMENTARY HERE? WHERE DO WE NEED ONE IN 2028? WOULD THIS PIECE OF LAND BE USEFUL IF WE WENT IN AND GOT THAT FOR A SCHOOL IN 2030, THAT THING.
THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE TOWARD THE END OF THAT REPORT SHOWS THE DATA AT THE PLANNING UNIT LEVEL, BOTH IN A MAP FORM AND IN A CHART EXCEL FORM.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THOSE ARE GEOCODED STUDENTS.
THAT IS WHERE WE THINK THE KIDS ARE GOING TO LIVE.
THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE TRANSFERRING AROUND, ESPECIALLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.
NOT BEING EDUCATORS AND NOT PLANNING FOR BILINGUAL PROGRAMS OR FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OR WHATEVER.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WHERE THEY LIVE.
IF YOU GUYS CHANGE YOUR PROGRAM AND THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL.
JUST SOME PEOPLE GET A LITTLE WRAPPED UP WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GEOCODED KIDS AND ENROLLED KIDS.
BUT THE BASIS OF MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS GEOCODING.
WE ALSO DO PROJECT FOR 10 YEARS.
WE KNOW THAT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS IS TYPICALLY THE MORE LIKELY TO BE CORRECT.
[01:40:03]
BUT WE KNOW THAT IF YOU'VE GOT TO BUILD ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL, TAKES YOU TWO YEARS TO BUILD IT AND YOU'VE GOT A BACKUP AND YOU GO TO GET THE SITE AND YOU GO TO GET THE BOND MONEY, AND YOU GO TO DO THE SITE WORK AND YOU'VE GOT TO DO THE DESIGN WORK AND ALL THAT THING.WE LIKE TO LOOK AT THE FIRST, WE CONCENTRATE ON THE FIRST FIVE-YEARS, BUT WE TRY TO LOOK AT 10 YEARS SO THAT WE THINK WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING.
ALSO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT A RAPIDLY GROWING SCHOOL DISTRICT, AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, WE GOT KIDDOS THAT ARE THERE FOR LIKE SIX YEARS OR SO.
WE WANT TO LOOK IN THAT LONG-TERM SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO LEAVE THEM STABLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WE DON'T WANT BE MOVING THOSE KIDDOS AROUND A WHOLE LOT.
IF YOU WANT TO GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE IS LOOK AT YOUR PROJECTIONS BY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
EVEN THOUGH I SAID WE CONCENTRATE ON GEOCODED KIDS.
AT YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL, YOU'VE GOT SIX CAMPUSES WHERE YOU'RE NETTING IN OR OUT MORE THAN 100 KIDDOS.
WONKA VISTA HAS 278 KIDS GAINED.
I THINK IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ONLY LOOK AT YOUR GEOCODED KIDS THERE.
HOWEVER, IF IN FEBRUARY YOU GUYS DID DECIDE TO SPLIT SOME A PROGRAM, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT NUMBERS HERE.
FOR YOUR ELEMENTARY ONLY, WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND LOOKED AT GEOCODED WITH YOUR CURRENT TRANSFERS ADDED ON TOP OF THAT.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE'RE A LITTLE CLOSER TO ACTUAL ENROLLMENT THERE.
SOME OF THESE ARE HIGHLIGHTED, YOU SEE, IT'S ACTUALLY CALL IT TAN, BUT IT'S LIGHT YELLOW ON THE SCREEN HERE.
THAT'S WHERE WE'VE EXCEEDED THE CAPACITY BY JUST A LITTLE OVER 100 PERCENT THERE.
AT THE BRIGHTER YELLOW IS WHERE YOU ARE REACHING ABOUT 120 PERCENT CAPACITY.
THE REASON WE HIT THAT 120 PERCENT AS A MARKER THERE IS THAT RAPIDLY GROWING SCHOOL DISTRICTS, OUR CLIENTS SEEM TO SAY THEY SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO OPEN ANOTHER SCHOOL THE MINUTE THEY POP OVER CAPACITY BY FIVE KIDS.
THAT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT IS DOABLE.
BESIDES BUILDING THE FACILITY, YOU HAVE TO RUN IT ON YOUR M&O SIDE.
PEOPLE USE PORTABLE BUILDINGS THAT THE DISTRICTS USE THAT, BUT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, YOU CAN'T STACK SO MANY PORTABLE BUILDINGS OUT THERE BECAUSE THEN YOU END UP RUNNING OUT OF COMMON SPACE.
YOU END UP HAVING LUNCH AT 10:15 IN THE MORNING OR AT 02:15 IN THE AFTERNOON.
THAT 120 A LOT OF TIMES IS ABOUT WHERE A LOT OF OUR CLIENTS DECIDE THEY REALLY WANT TO START GETTING FACILITIES ON GROUND.
YOU CAN SEE NIGGLY RIGHT NOW AT 2023, WE'RE PROJECTING IT TO EXCEED IT 120 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
AT A HANDFUL OF OTHERS THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT EXCEEDING CAPACITY, BUT JUST NOT BY THAT 120 PERCENT YET.
BUT THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT BRIGHT YELLOW GROW.
ALL BUT THREE OF YOUR SCHOOLS WOULD BE OVER-CAPACITY BY THE END OF THE PROJECTION PERIOD BASED ON THIS AND MOST OF THOSE WOULD BE WELL OVER 120 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
IF YOU GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THE CONCERN HERE AND THE DIFFICULTY IS HOW DO I BOIL THIS DATA DOWN TO A ONE-SECOND LITTLE LOOK FOR YOU.
WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THE 2027 WE TALK ABOUT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS AND THE LAST FIVE YEARS A LOT.
THIS IS THE MID POINT OF THE PROJECTION SERIES, 2027.
HOW HEAVILY WOULD YOUR CURRENT SCHOOLS BE UTILIZED AT YOUR CURRENT CAPACITIES? I KNOW THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MAYBE YOU COULD ADD ONTO SOME FACILITIES OR SOMETHING, BUT WE'RE JUST STARTING POINT, STEP 1.
HOW HEAVILY DO WE THINK THOSE FACILITIES WOULD BE UTILIZED? YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL OF THAT RED THERE IS EXCEEDING 120 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
WE'D BE LOOKING AT NIGGLY AT 186 PERCENT OF CAPACITY AND CAMINO REAL AT 143 PERCENT OF CAPACITY AND SO FORTH.
WHEN YOU'RE SEEING NUMBERS LIKE THAT, HEMPHILL 207 PERCENT.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT YOU COULD HAVE AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN HEMPHILL AND BOTH WILL BE FULL IN THAT CURRENT ATTENDANCE ZONE IN JUST THE FIVE-YEARS, ASSUMING THAT YOUR TRANSFERS DO HOLD STILL.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'RE JUST GOING TO LOOK VERY BRIEFLY AT 2032, THERE'S MORE RED, THERE'S NO NEED TO DWELL THOUGH ON THE 10 YEAR TIMEFRAME.
IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY, YOU SAW THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT JUSTIN WAS TALKING ABOUT JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO THOSE GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND TALK ABOUT JUST NEXT STEPS.
BECAUSE THERE'S NO POINT IN LOOKING AT THIS GIANT ELEPHANT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EAT IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO LOOK AT IS NIGGLY 2024.
WE'D BE LOOKING AT 139 PERCENT OF CAPACITY IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL SCHOOL.
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16 SIDE IS RIGHT THERE.
THE DISTRICT HAS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF PLANNING AND BEING PREPARED FOR THAT.
THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP, OF COURSE, TO OPEN THE SCHOOL THERE.
IF WE GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE CAN SEE THAT BY 2025, WITH ALL THAT GROWTH THAT JUSTIN WAS TALKING ABOUT AND COMING ONLINE THERE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE DISTRICT, THAT HEMPHILL COULD BE AT 149 PERCENT.
THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADVANCED COPY HERE OF SOME OF THIS INFORMATION.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO AN ADDITION AT HEMPHILL FOR THE SHORT TERM TO HELP IT OUT A LITTLE BIT.
THEN IF WE GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE CAN SEE THAT MAYBE BY '26 WE'D BE PUTTING ELEMENTARY 17, MAYBE ELEMENTARY 18 ON THE GROUND THERE.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING IMMEDIATELY AT
[01:45:02]
DESIGNING ATTENDANCE ZONES AND CALLING FOR SCHOOLS FOR 2032.IT'S THESE NEXT STEPS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
I THINK THE DISTRICT IS REALLY WELL POSITIONED AND READY TO TAKE THOSE NEXT STEPS.
I WILL SAY THE LONG-RANGE PLAN THAT I'VE SEEN FROM YOU GUYS SHOWED AT SOME POINT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVERY OTHER YEAR.
I THINK WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT, GOING TO BE THE SECOND HALF OF THAT PROJECTION PERIOD IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MORE LIKE EVERY YEAR.
THAT'S NOT SURPRISING A LOT OF OUR CLIENTS END UP DOING THAT.
IT MAY BE THAT YOU SKIP A YEAR AND YOU DO TO THE NEXT YEAR, BUT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THINKING IN THE PAST.
IF WE GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE THEN WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE SECONDARY SCHOOL.
SAME THING LIGHT YELLOW, DARK YELLOW OR BRIGHT YELLOW HERE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
WE HAVE NO OVERAGE RIGHT THERE FOR '23 AND '24.
WE SEE THE FIRST ONES HITTING 120 PERCENT OF CAPACITY IN 2026.
THE HIGH SCHOOLS, WE CAN SEE JOHNSON FULL ALREADY.
DO REMEMBER THOUGH THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE CAPACITY AT 2250.
I KNOW THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MAYBE INCREASING THOSE UPWARD TO 2,800.
OF COURSE, THAT'LL MAKE THOSE NUMBERS CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
ONE OF THE NEXT SLIDE WE'RE LOOKING AT SAME THING WHERE WE'RE SEEING RED IN 2027 BASED ON GEOCODED STUDENTS, SIMON AND MCCORMICK THERE AND IF WE GO ON THEN TO 2032, THEN WE CAN SEE THAT WALLACE JOINS IN BARTON AT 122.5 PERCENT.
BUT AGAIN, WE WANT TO START WITH WHAT'S THE VERY NEXT THING THAT WE'VE GO TO DO? ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU SEE THE NEXT STEPS THERE.
FIRST THING WHAT TO DO WOULD BE TO BUILD THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE, COULD RELIEVE MCCORMICK AND SIMON AT THE SAME TIME AND THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE AND THEN WE CAN ROLL OUT THE OTHER STEPS AFTER THAT.
THEN AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL, WE'D BE LOOKING AT 27.
WE'D BE LOOKING AT 130 PERCENT OF CAPACITY AT HAYS.
THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON THE MAP ITSELF ARE LOOKING AT A CAPACITY OF 2,250, DOWN THERE IN THE CORNER WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE NUMBERS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THE CAPACITIES WERE INCREASED TO 2,800 BY 2027.
YOU CAN SEE THAT NONE OF THE SCHOOLS, THEY ALL HAD A CAPACITY OF 2,800, THEN NONE OF THEM WOULD BE AT 120 PERCENT OF CAPACITY AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
BUT IF WE GO ONTO 2032, WE CAN SEE BIG NUMBERS.
JOHNSON, A COUPLE 200 PERCENT BASED ON THAT 2,250 CAPACITY AT LEHMAN AND HAYS LOTS OF ADDITIONAL SPACE NEEDED THERE.
WITH THE STAR THERE, WE'RE LOOKING AT A POSSIBILITY OF HIGH SCHOOL NUMBER 4 BEING THERE COULD RELIEVE LEHMAN, RELIEVE JOHNSON AND DEPENDING ON HOW THE ZONES WERE DRAWN, COULD ACTUALLY TAKE THE TOP OFF THE TASTE.
COULD RELIEVE ALL THREE OF THOSE FACILITIES WHEN THE REZONING IS DONE THERE.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IS WE WILL BE CONTINUING TO ROLL OUT A PLAN, DO PLANNING WORK WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.
WE'VE STARTED CREATING MAPS, AND PREPARING TABLES AND THINGS THAT LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEP.
I'VE SHOWN YOU THE NEXT STEPS.
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS AFTER THAT? IS THE DISTRICT PREPARED? THE DISTRICT HAVE EVERYTHING ONLINE AND READY TO GO.
WITH THAT, I THINK WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.
>> I'LL STICKY NOTES OVER HERE [LAUGHTER] GREAT QUESTION.
>> THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING AND EXCITING PRESENTATION FOR US AND TIMELY AS WE HAVE SOME BOND PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO OBVIOUSLY BE THINKING ABOUT THIS YEAR.
I'LL START OVER HERE ON MY LEFT.
I'LL COME BACK IF YOU'RE NOT READY, BUT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INITIAL QUESTIONS FOR PASA? IT'S JUST INCREASE?
>> GOT IT. MRS JOCAL YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION TO DIGEST.
YOU GUYS WERE LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR REALLY.
LOOKING AT THIS INFORMATION, IT'S SO DETAILED, SO GREAT.
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.
I KNOW THAT MAX EXPLAINED TO US.
YOU GUYS DO HAVE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND THAT ARE OUT COUNTING AND ALL OF THE THINGS.
THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR NOT SAYING THE NAMES OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
WE APPRECIATE THAT [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU.
>> THANKS. ANYBODY ELSE OVER HERE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OVER HERE, I'LL START WITH MR. MCMANUS.
>> NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT AS WELL.
WHEN WE MET WITH MAX LAST WEEK AND ONE OF THE NUMBERS THAT POPPED OUT THAT IT'S STUCK WITH ME EVER SINCE WE MET.
MAX, DO YOU WANT TO, OR SOMEBODY WANT TO SAY HOW MANY NEW STUDENTS WERE UNCOVERED WHEN WE CHANGE DEMOGRAPHERS, I THINK THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT NUMBER TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE TO ME IT CHANGES OUR TRAJECTORY OF HOW WE'RE DOING SOME THINGS.
SO DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT JUST FOR A SECOND?
>> YES, SIR. FROM THE 2Q22 REPORT
[01:50:02]
PROVIDED BY THE PREVIOUS DEMOGRAPHER FOR THAT TENURE LOOK, I BELIEVE THE NEW DEMOGRAPHER PASA HERE IS SAYING ANOTHER 5,225 STUDENTS OVER THAT PREVIOUS DEMOGRAPHER ARE BROKEN DOWN APPROXIMATELY 1,000 ISH AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, ABOUT 1,200 ISH AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND ABOUT 2,800 AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL.>> WHICH IS A LOT OF HIGH-SCHOOL KIDS.
>> THAT'S A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. YEAH.
>> I JUST THOUGHT THAT NUMBER JUST REALLY JUMPED OUT AT ME, AND SOMETHING THAT AS AN ADMINISTRATION, AND A BOARD, THIS TEAM, WE'VE REALLY GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THAT MANY KIDS.
GOOD INFORMATION. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR A VERY THOROUGH REPORT.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO MENTION.
I'M NOT GOING TO SAY BOGEY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING FORWARD, NOT GOING IN THE PAST.
THAT'S WHAT MCMANUS IS SAYING SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DONE ON THIS, BUT I WANT TO KNOW, WITH THAT NEW INFORMATION, I KNOW WE JUST GOT THIS REPORT BUT AS THE FPLC, I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN IT AS WELL.
OR ARE THEY GOING TO SEE THIS BECAUSE I THINK I'M NOT SURE IF THAT CHANGES WHAT WE'RE DOING BASED ON WHAT WE NEED NOW, WHAT WE MIGHT NEED TO MOVE UP IN THE FUTURE WITH BOND CAPACITY, AND WHATNOT.
SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY'VE SEEN THIS REPORT, OR IF THEY'RE PLANNING ON SEEING THIS REPORT.
>> WE WERE HOLDING IT UNTIL YOU ALL SAW IT, AND SO WE'RE GIVING IT TO THEM THIS EVENING.
SO WE WANTED TO HOLD UNTIL YOU ALL GOT IT.
AS FAR AS SPECIFICS, I THINK IT ACTUALLY AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL, IT VALIDATES OUR JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING AND HIGH SCHOOL FOR PLANNING AS FAR AS THE DATES.
IT VALIDATES THAT WERE MAYBE ONE-YEAR PLANNING, ONE-YEAR LITTLE LATE ON HAYS, AND MAYBE TWO YEARS LATE AT LEHMAN.
AT MIDDLE SCHOOL, I THINK IT PRETTY MUCH VALIDATES WHAT WE'RE DOING, INCLUDING THAT MOVING THE CAPACITY TO 1,200 ISH.
AND THEN AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHAT THEY JUST SAID, AND I BELIEVE IT VALIDATES OUR WORK, BUT WE HAVE TO MAYBE GO A LITTLE FASTER.
AND WHAT WE HAD AS A POTENTIAL ADDITION AT HAND PEELED MAYBE IN THE FUTURE MIGHT BE ON US A LITTLE SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT.
[OVERLAPPING]IT VALIDATED ABOUT I DON'T KNOW 75 PERCENT OR 80 PERCENT OF WHAT WE DID.
>> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT, AND THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP WILL BECAUSE THAT WAS A HUGE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH THIS INFORMATION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE PRETTY GOOD ABOUT PLANNING AROUND HERE.
I THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH IT.
THIS WAS A PRETTY ALARMING TO HERE.
SO ANYWAY, I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UNDER STUDENT PROJECTIONS, YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR THE ONES THAT OPENED IN 2022, BUT HOW ABOUT THE ONE THAT OPENED BEFORE THAT? WHAT WAS THE IMPACT OF THAT ON OUR ENROLLMENT IN OUR NUMBERS? HOW DOES IT IMPACT US TODAY, THIS YEAR, AND MOVING FORWARD?
>> SURE. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST IMPACTS WAS IDEA KYLE, I BELIEVE.
>> I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER, THEY'RE SO IRRELEVANT.
>> YOU HAD THE YEAR PRIOR 300 TEA ESTIMATES, 300 STUDENTS FROM THIS DISTRICT GOING TO CHARTERS.
IN THAT ONE YEAR WENT UP TO 900.
CHARTERS AT A GRADE EVERY YEAR, TYPICALLY.
>> AS WE LEARN OF NEW ONES, SOME OF THE ONES THAT OPENED HERE, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH.
SOMETIMES THEY COME FROM OUT-OF-STATE.
SOME OPEN WITH JUST K12, AND SO DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES OPEN, THAT MATTERS A LITTLE BIT TOO.
IT MATTERS BECAUSE THE ONES THAT OPENED THIS YEAR OPENED WITH MORE GRADES, AND SO THEY JUST TOOK A BIGGER HIT.
I SAID IT AVERAGES ABOUT 400 A YEAR WHEN YOU LOOKED BACK TO 2017.
BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU HAVE SOME YEARS WHERE IT GOES UP 600,700, OR 900 LIKE THIS YEAR, VERSUS OTHER YEARS WHERE IT JUST CREEPS UP BY ABOUT 100.
BUT ON THE AVERAGE IT'S ABOUT 400 EVERY YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SEEING? DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
>> WELL, KIND OF. SO THE 900 YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE TO ALL THREE CHARTER SCHOOLS?
>> SO WE LOST TWO, OR THREE CHARTERS BECAUSE I JUST DIDN'T SEE THEM IDENTIFIED.
SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE.
>> IN YOUR REPORT, IT'S CALLED THE CURRENT STUDENTS CHAPTER.
WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT A MAP, AND A TABLE, PAGE 148 IS THE TABLE.
SO YOU CAN LOOK HISTORICALLY GOING BACK TO 2018.
YOU WON'T SEE THAT 2017 NUMBER IN THERE UNFORTUNATELY, BUT I DID LOOK THAT UP BECAUSE I WAS REALLY CURIOUS WHEN IDEA KYLE OPENED, AND IT WAS 2018.
SO YOU CAN SEE THERE THE HISTORICS FOR EACH CAMPUS,
[01:55:03]
AND THE NEW ONES THAT OPENED UP THIS YEAR, YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE ZEROS FOR THE PREVIOUS YEARS.SO IT GIVES YOU A GOOD FEELING OF HOW THEY'VE BEEN INCREASING QUICKLY.
WE ALSO HAVE A PROJECTED NUMBER THERE LOOKING OUT FIVE YEARS.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING UP FROM ABOUT 2,400-3,400 STUDENTS, AND THAT'S MOSTLY JUST FROM THESE CURRENT CHARTERS, ADDING GRADES EVERY YEAR.
BUT YOU'LL NEVER REALLY NOTICE THAT BECAUSE THOSE STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OUT, ESSENTIALLY.
SO WHEN A SCHOOL ADDS A TENTH GRADE, ALL THEY'RE REALLY DOING IS JUST MOVING EVERYONE FORWARD.
YOU WON'T NOTICE THAT BIG HIT.
>> SURE. SINCE WE JUST GOT THIS BINDER, I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO PREVIEW IT, OR LOOK AT IT, OR THIS PRESENTATION, SO THANK YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU.
THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS, LET'S SAY A LONG-RANGE PLANNING.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROJECTED GEOCODED PLUS TRANSFERS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
SO I'M JUST WONDERING HOW OUR NEW ELEMENTARY THAT WILL BE OPENING UP IMPACTS THIS.
BECAUSE CURRENTLY IT SHOWS NIGGLY AT 967 CAPACITY, AND THEN IT SHOWS THAT INCREASE.
BUT OUR NEW SCHOOL THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE PULLING FROM NIGGLY IT'S GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT.
MAYBE YOU REFERENCE IT IN YOUR BINDER.
>> WELL, WE DIDN'T BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AT THE POINT WE'RE DRAWING ATTENDANCE ZONES, AND SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WHEN I'VE CREATED AS A DOCUMENT THAT WE'VE SENT, AND ACTUALLY HAD TWO ZOOMS I THINK ABOUT, WITH MAX DOING SOME PLANNING, AND SOME TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE.
SINCE WE HAVE THE DATA AT THE PLANNING UNIT LEVEL LIKE THAT, WE CAN TAKE NIGGLY ZONE, AND THEN WE CAN CUT IT IN HALF, AND WE CAN SEE IF WE NEED TO PULL FROM AN ADJACENT SCHOOL, OR AN ADJACENT SCHOOL TO THE NORTH, OR SOMETHING TO CREATE AN ATTENDANCE ZONE.
I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCESS WILL BE WITH YOU GUYS MOVING FORWARD FOR ATTENDANCE ZONES, BUT WITH A DATA LIKE THAT AS PLANNING UNITS, WE CAN SAY WHAT HAPPENS IF IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, WHAT HAPPENS IF IT LOOKS LIKE THAT, AND THEN ROLL THAT OUT.
SO I HAVEN'T SHOWN A FUTURE ROLL OUT, OR HOW THAT MIGHT COME OFFLINE WITH A NEW SCHOOL FROM NIGGLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT DRAWING ZONES AT THIS POINT.
WE END UP TALKING ABOUT CATCHMENT AREAS AS WHAT WE CALL THEM TO DIFFERENTIATE THEM FROM ZONES.
IT'S SECTORS OF THE DISTRICT THAT CAN SUPPORT A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN TWO YEARS, OR IN SIX YEARS TIME, OR IN THIS AREA, OR THAT AREA.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.
BUT HOW IT IMPACTS NIGGLY IS GOING TO DEPEND ON EXACTLY THE ZONE WE DRAW.
EXACTLY THE ZONE THAT THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO DRAW.
>> SO WILL YOU PROVIDE SOME OPTIONS WHEN.
>> WE START MEETING, AND DISCUSSING THAT, PROVIDING SOME OPTIONS ABOUT WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IF YOU PULLED, YOU'LL GET MORE RELIEF IF YOU PULL THESE STUDENTS.
>> IF YOU OPEN IT REALLY FULL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RELIEVE IT DAY AFTER TOMORROW, IF YOU OPENED IT A LOT LESS FULL, IT SITS THERE FOR A LOT LONGER, BUT YOU ARE NOT HOUSING AS MANY STUDENTS IN IT.
SO THAT'S ALWAYS THE QUESTION, AND THE CONCERN.
EVERY DISTRICT DOES ZONING, I'VE PERSONALLY DONE IT FOR 25 YEARS, OR SO, AND EVERYBODY HAS RUN THE GAMUT ON EXACTLY HOW THEY DO IT.
BUT YES, WE CAN GENERATE THREE OPTIONS, AND HAND THEM TO YOU.
SOMETIMES THAT IS DONE BY THE ADMINISTRATION, THEY BRING IT TO THE BOARD, ET CETERA.
BUT USING THE PLANNING UNIT DATA LIKE THAT, IF IT'S TWO-FOLD THIS WAY, WE TAKE TWO OF THEM OUT, AND SEE HOW THAT GOES THEN ON THE LONG RUN.
>> SURE. DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PHILOSOPHY IS, YOU'RE TOTALLY CORRECT ON WHAT OUR PHILOSOPHY IS ON BUILDING THAT.
THEN IT WILL GO TO COMMITTEE AND SO ON USUALLY.
I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THAT, AND I HAD A QUESTION FOR DR. WRIGHT, BUT HE'S NOT HERE.
>> YES, HE WAS DOING IT TIM SIVOIE [LAUGHTER]. YOU SURE OR YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT?
>> SAVOY IN IT. DR. WRIGHT, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOLS CAUSE AGAIN, THEY TALKED ABOUT MAYBE INCREASING THAT CAPACITY TO 2,800.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU WHAT OUR PHILOSOPHY IS ABOUT DOING THAT CAUSE OF PROS AND CONS TO EVERYTHING.
OF COURSE FACILITIES AND THE COST OF IT IS HUGE, BUT ALSO NOT MAKING THEM SO LARGE.
WHERE WE HAVE MORE STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO WANT TO GO TO A LIVE OAK, OR GOING TO ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES, SO CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT PHILOSOPHY?
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE SEE A LOT OF POSITIVE BENEFITS AS FAR AS THE MASTER SCHEDULE IS CONCERNED.
LIKE FOR YOUR ADVANCED LEVEL COURSES, YOU CAN FILL UP MORE SECTIONS, AND SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCHEDULE MULTIPLE PREPS OR COURSES FOR TEACHERS BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO FILL THOSE ADVANCED SECTIONS, WHICH WOULD HELP US RECRUIT THOSE UPPER LEVEL TEACHERS BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS LIKE TO TEACH
[02:00:02]
THOSE ADVANCED COURSES AND DON'T LIKE TO TEACH THE FRESHMEN.I HATE TO SAY THAT, BUT I MEAN IT'S THE WAY THAT IT IS.
THEN OF COURSE, YOU ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN YOU EXPAND THE BUILDING, YOU'RE DOING IT BASED ON TEAS PER SQUARE FOOT CODE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO FEEL SMALL LIKE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL DID SEVERAL YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT WASN'T DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR THE ADDITIONAL KIDS.
BUT WHAT IT ALSO DOES IS, IT HELPS YOU WITH YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR YOUR FINE ARTS AND YOUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE KIDS TO DRAW FROM, SO YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AND BE ABLE TO RECRUIT AND BUILD BIGGER BANDS AND HAVE MORE KIDS TO CHOOSE FROM FOR ALL OF YOUR ATHLETIC TEAMS. WHEN WE STUDIED THE TEAMS THAT ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL, THEY WERE UP AROUND THE 2,800-3,000 MARK IN CLASS 6A, WHICH WE WILL BE IN CLASS 6A EVEN AT THE 20-50 LEVEL.
INSTEAD OF BEING THE BIG FISH, WE ARE THE SMALL FISH IN THE BIG SEA.
IT JUST MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO COMPETE.
THEN ON THE FLIP SIDE, ON YOUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS SIDE, IT'S MORE EFFICIENT FOR US TO USE OUR STAFFING RATIO TO ADD ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND COUNSELORS AS WE GO, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLICATE EVERY SERVICE IN EVERY ADMIN THAT WE WOULD BE OFFERING, CHILD NUTRITION AND ALL THE OTHERS.
YOU JUST ADD ADDITIONAL PEOPLE AS YOU GO AND NOT THE ENTIRE NEW REPLICATION OF THE PROGRAM THAT ALREADY EXISTS, SO JUST LOTS AND LOTS OF POSITIVES.
>> DEFINITELY SOME POSITIVES, BUT DEFINITELY SOME DISCUSSION TO HAVE.
I KNOW WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IB AND MAGNET PROGRAMS AS WELL.
HOW AN IB OR MAGNET PROGRAM WOULD HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT GROWTH AT CERTAIN HIGH-SCHOOLS, IT MIGHT PULL FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS DEPENDING ON WHAT MAGNET PROGRAM WE HAVE.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSION AND TALK ABOUT THAT.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY HAVE MORE IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS AND LOOKING AT ALL PLANS.
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST FIT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
THEN LOOKING AT THE UTILIZATION IN 2024 BASED ON GEOCODED STUDENTS PLUS TRANSFERS, THE NEXT STEPS.
AGAIN, IT SHOWS NAGEL AT 139 PERCENT, AND OF COURSE THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE.
AS SOON AS WE START LOOKING AT THAT ZONING, THEN WE CAN LOOK AT SOMETHING NEW.
>> KNOWING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THAT COME ONLINE IN 2024, THAT DOESN'T GIVE ME HEARTBURN. [LAUGHTER]
>> YOU KNOW THAT BY DEFINITION, YOU'LL BE RELIEVING THE SCHOOL BECAUSE THE SITE SITS IN THE ZONE.
IF YOU JUST PULL OUT ONLY THE KIDS THAT WALK TO SCHOOL, YOU'RE GOING TO BE RELIEVING NAGEL THAT WAY.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THE FIRST STEP IN LOOKING AT THAT OVER THE LONG TERM AND HOW THE ATTENDANT ZONE IN THIS DESIGN DOES RELIEVE THAT.
>> DEFINITELY PRIORITIZING WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS AND WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME SCHOOLS AT 75 PERCENT COMPARED TO SOME SCHOOLS THAT ARE GROWING AT 116 PERCENT, PRIORITIZING WHERE WE DO OUR EXPANSIONS OR BUILDS AND SO ON.
>> THAT IS VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU.
I LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE WHOLE BINDER. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHER? I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
I SAW SOME NEW NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I HAD NOT HEARD OF BEFORE.
I DID DRIVE BY HIGH MEADOWS JUST THIS WEEKEND.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHAT IS THIS PLACE? [LAUGHTER] WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT SAN MARCOS EDGE IS A HUGE GROWTH AREA.
THE HEMPHILL NUMBERS DON'T GIVE ME TOO MUCH HEARTBURN.
WE HAVE LIKE 150 PRE-K KIDS THERE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE PROBABLY, AND WE HAVE LIKE 42 FIFTH GRADERS.
I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO TO MAYBE ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT, BUT CLEARLY THERE'S A LOT OF GROWTH IN THAT AREA TOO.
IT'S ALMOST WEIRD THAT THERE'S A WACKY NUMBERS IN TERMS OF THE DIFFERENT GRADES THERE.
BUT CLEARLY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PREPARE FOR MORE GROWTH SUCH THAT THERE ARE 150 INSTEAD OF 21 CORRIDOR.
WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CLEAVER. ANYTHING ELSE?
>> I THINK WE HAVE DONE QUITE A NUMBER ON THAT.
>> I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH OUR QUESTIONS AND WE WILL PROBABLY READ OUR REPORT AND HAVE SOME MORE.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A TEN-MINUTE BREAK AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS ABOUT THE FBOC AND WHETHER WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.
TEAM AND AUDIENCE MEMBERS, OUR NEXT ITEM UP HERE IS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF
[L.8. Consideration and possible approval of Facilities Bond Oversite Committee (FBOC) recommendations regarding a potential future bond election]
[02:05:04]
THE FACILITIES BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING A POTENTIAL FUTURE BOND ELECTION.THIS IS ON PAGE 66 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET.
TEAM, AS I HAD MENTIONED IN THE EMAIL THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM ME, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU REACH OUT TO MR. CLEAVER, REACH OUT TO YOUR FBOC MEMBERS, UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE IN THIS PROCESS.
MR. CLEAVER, MR. SAVOY, AND JESSICA BEDWELL OR FBOC CHAIR ARE ALL GOING TO GIVE US A LAY OF THE LAND, TELL US WHERE WE ARE.
I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR IN WHAT THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TONIGHT AND WHAT WE'RE DOING AS A TEAM.
WE ARE MOVING ONE STEP FORWARD.
I THINK MR. SAVOY IS GOING TO DETAIL THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO MEET WITH MR. CLEAVER, MRS. BEDWELL, AND OTHERS, AND OUR ADMINISTRATION.
I KNOW MR. MCMANUS AND MR. SEVERANCE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS WITH OUR ADMIN TEAM AND FBOC MEMBERS ON FRIDAY.
I HEAR THOSE WERE VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETINGS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONTINUATION OF THIS PROCESS.
IT IS A LONG PROCESS AND WE JUST HEARD IN OUR DEMOGRAPHER REPORT WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON.
I THINK WE HAVE A NARROWER FOCUS MAYBE NOW ON SOME OF THE AREAS THAT ARE GROWING FASTER THAN OTHERS IN OUR DISTRICT.
I THINK IT WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR EXAMPLE, EXPANDING A HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE JUST OPENED FOUR YEARS AGO.
THAT'S GOING TO BE WILD FOR SOME FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND.
AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. CLEAVER FIRST.
>> IS LIKE YOU SAID TIM IS GOING TO GIVE US ABOUT A TWO-MINUTE PREAMBLE.
>> PERFECT. MR. SAVOY, TAKE IT AWAY.
>> YES. THANK YOU. I WAS JUST GOING TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT IN THE PROCESS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME.
[LAUGHTER] I'M GOING TO GET UP A MINUTE AND A HALF RIGHT HERE.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IN 30 SECONDS [LAUGHTER] WHAT I MEANT TO SAY.
NOW EARLIER THIS YEAR AS PART OF YOUR PROCESS IN THE CHARTER FOR THE FBOC THAT YOU ADOPT AS A BOARD, YOU BASICALLY CHARGED THE COMMITTEE WITH RESEARCHING AND LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF RECOMMENDING A BOND.
I THINK THAT HAPPENED EITHER IN JUNE OR AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.
THAT PUTS THE PUBLIC, IT GIVES THEM AN AMPLE NOTICE THAT THE DISTRICT IS CONSIDERING A POTENTIAL BOND MEASURE TONIGHT.
THIS IS JUST THE RETURN PART OF THAT PROCESS, THE PASSING OF THE BATON BACK TO THE BOARD.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE AREN'T ANY HEAVY DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE TONIGHT.
IN FACT, IT MAY EVEN BE A BIT EARLY TO START LOOKING AT HEAVY DECISIONS.
THIS IS THE COMMITTEE COMING BACK AND SAY WE'VE DONE WHAT YOU'VE ASKED IN THE CHARGE, HERE IS OUR WORK.
AT THAT POINT, THE NEXT STEP SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THESE TORTS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION AND TAKE IT FROM HERE.
IF YOU DO THAT TONIGHT, THEN THE NEXT PHASE WOULD BE THE PUBLIC INPUT PHASE IN JANUARY AND THAT'S WHERE THAT WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF BOTH THE DIGITAL FEEDBACK MECHANISM, THE BOND TALK, AND SOME POSSIBLE IN-PERSON FORUMS, AND AFTER ALL OF THAT IS, WOULD BE THE TIME THAT YOU WOULD COME DOWN AND SAY, WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE BOND, WHAT'S NOT AND IF SO, WHAT PROPOSITION OR PROPOSITIONS WOULD EACH ITEM GO IN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF THAT TONIGHT. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
WE'LL GET SOME INFORMATION ON THE WEB IT'LL GIVE THEM A NIGHT.
WELL, IT'S ON THERE NOW. IT'S ON THE AGENDA.
PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE RAW LIST AT THIS POINT.
WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JESSICA TO BRING WHAT THEY DID IN THE TIME SINCE YOU CHARGED THEM WITH DOING THE BOND.
>> OKAY. WE'RE BACK. IT WAS AUGUST THAT YOU CHARGED US.
IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, OUR COMMITTEES MET AND THEN MORE FREQUENTLY HERE TOWARDS THE END.
USUALLY WE MEET ONCE A MONTH AND THEN IT HAS COME DOWN TO ONCE A WEEK LATELY.
WHAT WE HAVE JUST TO EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE LISTENING, OUR COMMITTEE WAS CHARGED IN AUGUST TO LOOK AT WHAT WOULD POSSIBLY BE NEEDED IF IT WOULD BE NEEDED TO DO A SCHOOL BOND IN MAY OF 2023.
THIS GOES BACK TO RECENTLY WHEN BYRON WAS ALSO THE CHAIR.
WE'VE WORKED TO ESTABLISH A PROCESS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING MORE LIKE A TEN-YEAR PLAN.
AS WE'RE GROWING SO MUCH, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A CONSTANT PROJECT LIST.
THAT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE, BUT THAT'S HOW WE OPERATE NOW IS THERE'S A LONG TERM SPREADSHEET OF
[02:10:03]
PROJECTS AND SO AS DISTRICT BRINGS US NEW PROJECTS, THESE SLIDE IN IN A TIMELINE, AND WE MOVE THAT TIMELINE AROUND.STARTING IN AUGUST, WE GOT MORE SERIOUS ABOUT WHICH PROJECTS WOULD BE NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
I BELIEVE THAT YOU GOT THIS REPORT WITH THE VOTES.
>> THEY GOT A REPORT THAT HAD BY CAMPUS, BY PROJECT AND THEN BY CAMPUS AND BY [INAUDIBLE].
>> YOU HAVE A GENERAL IDEA THEN OF THE LIST THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT.
IT SHOULD INCLUDE AND I ASSURED THE COMMITTEE THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING OFF ANY PROJECTS THAT DIDN'T GET A HIGH ENOUGH VOTE.
BUT YOU DO HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT ESSENTIALLY YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT LIST AND SEE THE PROJECTS THAT WERE MORE FAVORABLY VOTED, YES, WHATEVER.
YOU CAN TELL THE ONES THAT WERE AT CONSENSUS OF THE HIGH NEED RIGHT NOW.
TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOGRAPHERS REPORT.
TO ASSURE YOU THAT'S BRAND NEW INFORMATION.
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE WORKING ON A 10-YEAR PLAN AND PULLING THINGS OFF BY YEAR.
THE STUFF THAT THAT SHOWS IT WASN'T LIKE IT NEGATES ALL THE WORK WE'VE BEEN DOING.
IT'S GOING TO PUSH SOME THINGS UP IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
OUR LAST MEETING WAS NOVEMBER 30TH, AND I HAVE SEEN A PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THAT MORNING.
I DID TRY NOT TO GET TOO PANICKY, BUT WE DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT OUR BOND CAPACITY.
FOR ME GOING INTO THE VOTING THAT NIGHT, IT DID CHANGE PRIORITIES FOR ME A LITTLE BIT.
NONE OF THESE ARE DUMB IDEAS OF WAYS TO SPEND MONEY IN OUR DISTRICT, BUT YES, WE DO HAVE TO.
WHEN YOU SEE A REPORT LIKE THAT, IT UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE BUILDING THE MOST NEEDED THINGS.
AS I WAS SITTING THERE, I WAS THINKING, I HOPE THAT WE FIND A WAY TO GIVE SOME SNAPSHOT OF THAT REPORT WHEN WE PUT OUT INFORMATION, SHOULD WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BOND BECAUSE I DO THINK SOMETIMES THE PUBLIC DOESN'T TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM, THE WHYS' AND WHAT IS A PRIORITY AND WHY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT MOVE AROUND.
I THINK THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH AND TEAM, YOU SHOULD HAVE THESE LARGE SPREADSHEETS THAT WE CAN SEE HOW THE FPLC VOTED AND WHAT THINGS WERE PRIORITIZED.
LIKE MR. SAVOY SAID, THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE END-ALL BE-ALL.
IF WE WANTED TO RE-VOTE AFTER SEEING THE DEMOGRAPHERS' REPORT, I'M SURE THAT THAT COULD BE ARRANGED.
MR. CLEAVER, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE WE GET INTO IT ON OUR END?
>> YES, MA'AM. I WANTED TO ALSO POINT OUT THAT YOU HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS IN YOUR PACKET.
IT'S FROM DUSTY TRAILER, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.
ON PAGE 8 OF THAT REPORT, ONE OF OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS ASKED TO GET A RANGE OF BONDING CAPACITY.
ON PAGE 8, THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE RANGE OF BONDING CAPACITY.
I JUST WANTED YOU-ALL TO BE AWARE OF THAT AS YOU THINK THROUGH IT. YES, MA'AM.
THERE'S A SLOW GROWTH AND MEDIUM GROWTH AND A FAST GROWTH.
AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS, WE'RE TRYING TO GET A GOOD FEELING FOR HOW THIS REPORT ACTUALLY TIES WITH THAT DEMOGRAPHERS REPORT, AND WE'LL TRY TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THESE ACTUALLY TIE TOGETHER.
>> YES. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT THE PUBLIC INPUT PORTION WOULD BE THE FIRST THREE WEEKS OR SO IN JANUARY, AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU-ALL HIGHLY CONSIDER LOOKING AT A SEPARATE SPECIAL MEETING AS A WORKSHOP TO JUST DO THE BOND.
THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD HAMMER OUT AND MAKE A CONSENSUS DECISION ON WHICH PROJECTS SHE WENT IN AND OUT AND IN WHAT ORDER OR FORMAT ON THE PROPOSITIONS.
[02:15:03]
THEN ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, WE WOULD HAVE A MEETING WHERE IF YOU CHOOSE TO CALL FOR A BOND AT THAT POINT, YOU WOULD VOTE ON ADOPTING A BOND ELECTION ORDER.THE LEGAL DEADLINE TO DO THAT IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY, AND I WANT TO SAY IT'S EITHER THE 16TH OR 17TH.
I'LL GET THAT TO YOU. IT'S THE FRIDAY OF THAT WEEK. IT'S THE SAME.
>> YES. I KNOW. I BELIEVE IT'S FEBRUARY 17TH.
>> THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. IT'S WHATEVER THAT FRIDAY.
>> WE HAVE A BOARD MEETINGS SCHEDULED NOW ON THE 13TH.
>> WE DO? YEAH. IT COULD BE WORKING THERE.
THAT WOULD JUST BE WE JUST NEED A WEEK BETWEEN WHAT YOU DECIDE FOR THE ATTORNEYS TO ACTUALLY DRAFT UP THE BOND ELECTION ORDER BECAUSE THERE'S A TON OF CALCULATIONS AND IMPACT DATA THAT IT HAS TO ALL GO INTO THE BOND ELECTION ORDER.
BUT THE ONE THING AS YOU DISCUSS TONIGHT THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE PERHAPS SOME JUST CONSENSUS.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT REALLY FOR A VOTE, BUT JUST SOME DISCUSSION MAYBE ABOUT HOW MANY IN-PERSON PUBLIC FORUMS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE.
IN JANUARY, WE'VE DONE AS MANY AS THREE BEFORE.
TRADITIONALLY, THE IN-PERSON PUBLIC FORUMS ARE NOT VERY HIGHLY ATTENDED BECAUSE PEOPLE FIND THE ABILITY TO HIT THAT BOND TALK BUTTON [LAUGHTER] A LOT MORE CONVENIENT.
BECAUSE THE COMMENTS THERE COUNT JUST AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD ON AN IN-PERSON THINGS.
WE WERE LOOKING AT INSTEAD OF DOING THREE, MAYBE DOING TWO OR EVEN ONE IN-PERSON WITH THE OPTION IF THAT ONE IS A HUGE ATTENDANCE, PERHAPS SCHEDULING ANOTHER ONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT DEFINITELY PROMOTING THE DIGITAL COMMENTS SECTION, ENGAGEMENT PIECE THAT WAY.
>> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU, MRS. BEDWELL AND MR. CLEAVER, MR. SAVOY, WITH THAT LEVEL SET.
TEAM, JUST TO REITERATE, WE WOULD BE DEFINITELY WANTING TO DO A SPECIAL WORKSHOP MEETING TO UNDERSTAND THE BOND TAUGHT COMMENTS THAT ANY PUBLIC FORUM COMMENTS, ANY ADDITIONAL FPLC INSIGHT THAT WE MIGHT HAVE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
AGAIN, TONIGHT'S VOTE IS JUST TO SAY, DO WE THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO CONTINUE WITH THIS BOND PROCESS AND TO SOLICIT FROM OUR PUBLIC THEIR THOUGHTS ON SOME OF THIS? MR. SAVOY, MY UNDERSTANDING WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD SOMEHOW TRY TO SUMMARIZE ALL OF THE VARIOUS PROJECTS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING IN A WEBSITE OR SOME WAY THAT THE PUBLIC CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND THIS.
THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY WORRY THAT WE MIGHT BE.
>> SOME OF THAT. THAT IS THE HIGHLY DETAILED VERSION AND IT WILL RUN LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE THAT.
BUT IT IS A LINE-BY-LINE AND SOME ITEMS ARE ALIKE AND SIMILAR.
WE WOULD COLLAPSE AND COMBINE THOSE TWO GENERIC MAYBE AN ELEMENTARY RENOVATIONS OR SOMETHING AND THEN JUST PUT THE AMOUNT AND THE SCHOOL, THAT TYPE OF THING.
BUT WE WILL KEEP THE DETAILED ONE ON THERE FOR FOLKS WHO WANT TO DO THE IN-DEPTH RESEARCH AND WE GET A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO DO THAT AS WELL.
WHAT WE WOULD DO, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DECIDE TONIGHT.
IF YOU MAKE ANY ALTERATIONS, IF YOU SAY, HEY, WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO EVEN PUT THAT IN A BOND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN WE WOULD TAKE THAT OFF MOVING FORWARD, OR IF YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT'S MISSING IS WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING.
ALTHOUGH MY EXPERIENCE AND HAVING GONE THROUGH THESE, THOSE TYPES OF DECISIONS ARE PROBABLY BETTER AFTER PUBLIC INPUT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS THAT HAVE COME ABOUT IN PUBLIC INPUT AND THAT'S WHY THE PROCESS, IT'S FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE FPLC.
THEY DID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK, A TON OF WORK, AND THEY WORKED A LOT OF LONG HOURS AND THE LONG NIGHTS, BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE FINAL VERSION.
IT'S PROBABLY SUBSTANTIALLY WHAT THE BOND WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO VOTE FOR A BOND.
BUT WE'VE ALWAYS LEFT IN THE ROOM TO NOT BE COMPLETELY LOCKED INTO ANYTHING BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOUR PUBLIC FORUM INPUTS WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY.
BUT WE DO WANT AND SEEK THE PUBLIC INPUT.
I CAN CONDENSE WHATEVER REMAINS IN IT TODAY AND THEN WE WOULD KEEP NOTES IN A ROLLING LOG ON THE BOND THING FROM PUBLIC FORUM.
>> IT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE TEAM DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS LINE BY LINE OR DO A DEEP DIVE.
WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT WE COME TO A CONSENSUS ON HOW MANY PUBLIC FORUMS. THEN IF THERE ARE ANY PROJECTS ON HERE THAT REALLY GIVE YOU A VISCERAL REACTION OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING GLARINGLY MISSING THAT YOU'RE LIKE, HOW DID THIS NOT BUBBLE UP? THEN LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS.
MY THOUGHT IS TWO PUBLIC FORUMS. JUST BECAUSE OFF DATES, PEOPLE MAY JUST NOT BE AVAILABLE.
BUT IF YOU-ALL THINK ONE IS ENOUGH, THEN CERTAINLY VOICE THAT OPINION.
[02:20:02]
I THINK THREE IS PROBABLY TOO MANY.WE HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME OUT TO THESE, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS MANY PROJECTS IN A LONG TIME, AND I SUSPECT WE HAD A PUBLIC SPEAKER TONIGHT COME OUT, ALREADY STARTING TO TALK ABOUT FINE ARTS.
ONCE PEOPLE SEE THIS LIST, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME OPINIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO PROVIDE FOR THAT.
I WILL STOP TALKING AND I'LL START OVER HERE ON MY LEFT.
MS. LOCKLEY, YOU'VE GOT YOUR HAND UP.
>> I WOULD JUST SAY THAT I ALSO SUPPORT AT LEAST TWO PUBLIC FORUMS. WHERE WOULD WE HOLD THOSE PUBLIC FORUMS?
>> I THINK WE'VE DONE THEM LEHMAN, THE PACK, WE'VE MOVED AROUND.
>> WE USED TO HOLD THEM IN PLACES THAT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE USED TO HOLD THEM IN PLACES THAT WERE OBVIOUS BIG TICKET ITEMS ON THE BOND.
LIKE WHEN WE WERE DOING SUN-FILLED ON THE BOND, I THINK WE HAVE ONE AT TOM GREEN OR SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT.
>> I VOTE WE HOLD ONE IN THE LEHMAN AUDITORIUM.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY. [LAUGHTER] WE ARE A LITTLE BIT.
THE LAW NOW REQUIRES ALL BOARD MEETINGS, EVEN SPECIAL MEETINGS TO BE RECORDED VIA VIDEO, AUDIO, AND ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF.
MOST LIKELY THERE WOULD BE ONE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE IT SET UP AND WE HAVE ONE AT LEHMAN BECAUSE IT ALSO HAS THE CAMERA.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE TURNED IT ON IN A WHILE, WE HAVE TO TEST THE EQUIPMENT, BUT IT HAS THE SETUP TO BE ABLE TO SIMULCAST AND RECORD.
>> WHAT IF WE DID ONE JOHNSON, ONE LEHMAN?
>> I THINK THE JOHNSON EQUIPMENT, ISN'T THAT WHAT WE MOVED TO HERE?
>> WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I THINK WE HAVE EQUIPMENT IN HAZE AND THAT ROOM THAT'S HARD TO FIND.
>> YEAH, THAT'S VERY HARD TO FIND. [OVERLAPPING]
>> LIKE WAY IN THE BACK OF THE C BUILDING.
IN AN OSCILLATOR, IT BALANCES OUT.
YOU'VE GOT EAST, WEST, AND NORTH AND SOUTH.
YOU HAVE A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE THAT I THINK WOULD BE CONVENIENT IF YOU DID TOO.
>> YEAH, I THINK THIS ENLIGHTENMENT PROBABLY MAKE THE MOST SENSE THEN.
WE'LL LET YOU HANDLE ALL THE LOGISTICS, BUT OKAY, SO RIGHT NOW COURTNEY IS TOO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, COURTNEY, YOUR CALL.
>> YEAH. I LIKE LEHMAN IN HERE AS R2 AND AN AGREEMENT THAT TOO IS PROBABLY ENOUGH.
>> GONZALEZ, ANY OTHER [OVERLAPPING] DIFFERENT THOUGHTS? OKAY. PERFECT. MR. SAVOY AND OTHER THOUGHT?
>> YES. I JUST HAD A THOUGHT. NOW. I JUST WANT FOLKS WHO ARE WATCHING AND LISTENING IN ON THE PUBLIC OR MAY LOOK AT THIS RECORDED VERSION LATER.
THE PUBLIC FORUMS ARE NOT THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY.
OBVIOUSLY WE WILL HAVE THE BOND TALK, WHICH IS SUPER CONVENIENT.
YOU CAN JUST BASICALLY PUSH THE BUTTON AND SEND YOUR THOUGHTS.
THOSE DO COUNT JUST AS MUCH AS SOMEONE COMING IN PERSON.
BUT DON'T FORGET THAT EVERY BOARD MEETING YOU HAVE AND THAT INCLUDES THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING IN JANUARY, THE REGULAR WORKSHOP, THE REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING.
AND THEN IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING TO DO A WORKSHOP, THERE'S A PUBLIC FORUM PORTION THERE.
THEN IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER MEETING TO VOTE ON THE BEFORE YOU WOULD FINALLY VOTE, WHETHER OR NOT TO ACTUALLY CALL AN ELECTION WITH THE BOND ELECTION ORDER.
THERE'S ANOTHER PUBLIC FORUM THERE.
THESE WOULD JUST BE TWO PUBLIC FORUM OPPORTUNITIES IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES PEOPLE WOULD HAVE IF THEY WANTED TO COME AND SPEAK IN PERSON TO YOU.
>> VERY GOOD POINT, MR. SAVOY.
>> TWO IS GOOD. I LIKED THE LOCATION, SUGGESTED THAT.
I THINK THAT WORKS REAL WELL, BUT ALSO FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY BE LISTENING OR WATCHING THIS LATER.
DON'T WAIT ON THE PUBLIC TEAM TOUCHING, DON'T WAIT ON THE PUBLIC FORUMS. IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE, NOW IS THE TIME THEY CAN BE BY EMAIL OR CALL US, TALK TO FBOC MEMBERS, WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.
BUT HAVING BEEN THROUGH THIS SEVERAL TIMES, BONDS ARE CONTENTIOUS, THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE, BUT I FIND THAT WHEN WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT IT AND DON'T JUST POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA TENDS TO GO A LOT BETTER.
I LOVE TO MEET WITH PEOPLE AND TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF. I'M JUST SAYING.
I WILL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT BONDS.
IT CAN BE A LITTLE DRIVING, REAL FUN TOO.
ANYWAY, I THINK EVERYBODY UP HERE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT AND WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE BEING TRANSPARENT AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, AND THIS IS MY LITTLE SPEECH FOR THE NIGHT IS I THINK THAT ESPECIALLY SINCE DR. WRIGHT HAS BEEN HERE AND I MENTIONED THIS IN THAT MEETING THAT WE HAD LAST FRIDAY.
I THINK THAT THIS DISTRICT, THIS BOARD, AND THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN MORE TRANSPARENT THAN HAS EVER BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INTENT TO HIDE ANYTHING OR TO TRY TO SLIP THINGS IN ON A BOND.
IT JUST DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS BOARD AND SO DON'T ASSUME THAT THAT'S HAPPENING.
TALK TO US, TALK TO THE ADMINISTRATION, TALK TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW, THAT YOU TRUST, AND I THINK THAT YOU'LL FIND THAT TO BE THE CASE
[02:25:01]
BECAUSE FROM THE FBOC TO THE FBO C'S WEBSITE, ERIC, HOW MANY STOPS DID YOU MAKE ON THE BOND TOUR LAST TIME WE DID ONE?>> OVER 40. THAT IS A LOT OF TIME AWAY FROM WHAT I WOULD SAY OUR CORE DUTIES OF PEOPLE.
I MEAN, THEY ALSO HAVE A DAY JOB AND YET THEY'RE OUTSPENDING HOURS UPON HOURS MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY.
RIGHTLY SO TO KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED AND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
LOTS OF PTA MEETINGS AND I THINK AS WE GET READY TO RAMP UP THE TOUR BUS AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE OUT THERE AND I WANT PEOPLE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE EFFORT THAT'S PUT IN INTO COMMUNICATING WHAT IS PART OF A BOND, NOT JUST IN THE BOND, BUT THE PROCESS OF BUILDING IT.
I JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE.
IT MAY MAKE YOU MAD, BUT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS AND LET'S HAVE SOME DIALOGUE ABOUT IT.
>> YEAH, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT.
IT WAS HARD TO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE BOND IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW.
DR. WRIGHT MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE, MR. CLEAVER MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE AND WE ALL HEARD THE TALK QUITE A BIT.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED ON HOW MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T COME AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE, BUT THEY WERE RECORDED AND THEY WERE PUT OUT.
THAT WAS GREAT. MRS. PEDREL DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT?
>> TO TALK ONTO WHAT HE'S SAYING? I'M NOT SURE, JUST BASED ON CONVERSATIONS I HAVE WITH PEOPLE ON THE REGULAR I'M NOT SURE THAT EVERYONE REALIZES.
THE FERC WEBSITE IS LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIND, EVEN FOR MYSELF AS THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE.
>> I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO GET THERE.
ARE YOU READY? ICIC.NET/ FBOC.
>> OKAY. OR IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THAT, YOU ARE ON THE FRONT PAGE AND YOU DO THE A TO Z AND IT'S BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
BUT EVERY TIME WE MEET, YOU WILL SEE EVERY DOCUMENT MINUS SOME SECURITY SENSITIVE ISSUE OR DOCUMENTS.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE SEE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE EVEN THE NIGHT WE TAKE PRETTY DILIGENT MINUTES OF THE MEETING.
IF YOU READ THROUGH THOSE, YOU'LL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF EXACTLY WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR PAGE AND TOWARDS THE RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE SOMEWHERE NEAR THE TOP IS THE MASTER FACILITY PLAN AND THAT IS THE DOCUMENT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE JUST BONDED, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS COMING UP.
THEN YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THINGS.
THEN THERE IS ALSO A LIST OF THE CURRENT MEMBERS.
IF YOU WANTED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY, WE'RE ON THERE.
>> WELL, I WAS GOING TO ASK MR. CLEAVER IF THAT'S SOMEPLACE WE COULD PUT THIS NEW DEMOGRAPHER REPORT, JUST THE PRESENTATION THAT WE GOT TONIGHT.
>> I THINK SO. FOR SURE, THE PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT AND UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING Y'ALL WON'T REDACTED, WE CAN PUT THAT REPORT ONLINE.
OKAY. I'M SURE IT'S A WORTHY READ FOR SOMEBODY.
I KNOW OUR FBOC MEMBERS WILL BE EAGER TO GET INTO IT.
ANYTHING ELSE? MR. MIRANDA'S, SAYS THOSE WERE ALL.
>> EXCELLENT POINTS. MRS. ROSCOE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> YES. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE FOR SEVERAL BONDS THAT WE'VE DONE AND YOU'RE RIGHT, THE ATTENDANCE IS NOT VERY LARGE.
TWO FORUMS WOULD SUFFICE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BOND TALK, BUT IN THAT, MR. SAVOY PUTS ON THE FRONT PAGE, SO IT'S EASY TO FIND AND IT'S EASY TO CAPTURE BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S NICE FOR FOLKS TO TALK TO US AND AFTER THEY TALKED TO, AS I LIKE TO SAY, PUT IT ON BOND TALK BECAUSE I WANT ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS TO GET THE SAME INFORMATION AND I DON'T WANT TO COME WITH JUST ANECDOTAL CONVERSATIONS OR THIS OR THAT SO I ALWAYS REFER THEM BACK TO THAT BOND TALK TO CAPTURE ALL THE COMMENTS AND WHATEVER THEIR THOUGHTS ARE.
PLEASE UTILIZE AT BOND TALK BECAUSE THEN THAT WAY WE CAN ALL READ IT AND WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A PRIORITY OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHAT ISN'T, AND REALLY LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S NOT THE END-ALL BE-ALL BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD TO SHAVE THINGS OFF, WE HAVE HAD TO ADD THINGS ON THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LEFT OFF AN ERROR.
HOWEVER, IT SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE SO MUCH NOW, BEFORE WE DIDN'T HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
BUT I KNOW WITH MAX CLEAVER AND THE FBOC, THEY'VE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO REALLY MAP IT OUT AND PLAN IT OUT, SO WE SHOULDN'T BE THERE ANYMORE.
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY NICE ABOUT THIS BOND
[02:30:03]
AND TALKING ABOUT AND DISCUSSING IT IS THAT IT'S PRETTY THOROUGH.I'M REALLY EXCITED TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC ONCE THEY SEE SOME OF THESE NEEDS AND LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHER REPORT IS HUGE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT DATA AND NODDING MOTION.
THAT DATA IS THERE, THE GROWTH IS THERE, AND WE NEED TO BE READY FOR IT.
I APPRECIATE WHAT THE FBOC HAS DONE AND I NEED TO CORRECT MYSELF TOO.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THE RAW WOOL VELA WAS ALSO ON THE FBOC.
[LAUGHTER] THAT WAS COURTNEY RANKEL RAW WOOL VELA WILL MAKE MAN IS THIS CHAIR BYRON SEVERANCE AS CHAIR.
I ACTUALLY WAS ON IT FOR ONE MEETING AND THEN I HAD TOO MANY OTHER BOARDS THAT I WAS ON AND I COULDN'T GO ANYMORE.
>> THAT'S ALL WE COULD TAKE, WASN'T ONE MEETING. [LAUGHTER]
>> PLEASE, NO. YES. BUT IT WAS WAY BACK BEFORE DR. WRIGHT SO IT WAS A WAY DIFFERENT.
THERE'S THAT I NEED TO CORRECT MYSELF.
THANK YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC.
>> AWESOME. MR [INAUDIBLE] YOU HAVE SOMETHING?
>> YEAH. I THINK TWO FORMS IS FINE.
I KNOW, HE WERE SET UP TO DO IT HERE AND LEHMAN IS FINE, BUT I THINK AS MUCH STUFF IS ON THIS LIST THAT'S A JOHNSON.
I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN DO A PUBLIC FORUM AT JOHNSON.
I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH WHY WE CAN'T, BUT SURELY WE CAN.
>> THE ONLY WAY WE COULD DO IT AS IF WE WEREN'T THERE.
IF WE WANT TO NOT BE THERE OR ONLY HAVE THREE BOARD MEMBERS THERE.
IF WE DID WANT TO HAVE ONE AT JOHNSON, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO NOT BE THERE.
ONLY THREE OF US WOULD BE ALLOWED. [OVERLAPPING]
>> IF WE HAD IT HERE, A LEHMAN, IT WOULD BE LIKE A SPECIAL MEETING?
>> THE GOOD NEWS THOUGH IS THAT YOU GOT TO REMEMBER WHERE WE SIT RIGHT HERE IN THIS ROOM, IN THIS MINUTE WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JOHNSON ZONE.
>> WE'D HAVE THE BENEFIT OF RECORDING IT AND ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO HEAR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAID.
>> NO, TOTALLY MAKES SENSE NOW.
>> WE COULD HAVE A THIRD ONE. WHY.
>> THE CISD BOARD NOW. GOT IT.
>> YEAH. BECAUSE WE USED TO DO THESE AT THE PACK. RIGHT?
>> WE USED TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY THOUGH, BUT I DO THINK LIKE THE BENEFIT OF RECORDING I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
ON THE BOND TALK WHEN DO YOU THINK WE CAN OPEN THAT UP? WHEN WOULD BE THE EARLIEST YOU WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE OPENING THAT UP?
>> ON MY LIST TO GET TO DEFINITELY THIS WEEK AND REALLY TOMORROW.
BUT IF TOMORROW'S ANYTHING LIKE THAT DAY WAS I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING ON MY LIST. [LAUGHTER].
>> WE'LL OPEN IT UP BEFORE WE GO IN CHRISTMAS BREAK.
AND IF YOU HAVE A BURNING DESIRE TO SEND SOMETHING IN, IF YOU JUST GO ON OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, YOU CAN LOOK IN THE A TO Z TABS, EASIEST WAY TO FIND IT.
EVERYONE OTHER EMAILS IS ON THERE AND YOU CAN HIT THAT.
>> THEN WILL TRANSFER IT TO BOND TALK.
YEAH. HEY, HAYS IS RIGHT THERE.
THIS BUTTON ON THE FRONT. YOU CAN HIT THE HEY HAYS.
YES. THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS TO THAT FEEDBACK, HEY IS A GOOD ONE ON THERE UNTIL WE GET THE BOND TALK AND I'LL PUT A BUTTON ON THE FRONT PAGE.
>> THANK YOU, TIM. THIS NEXT QUESTION, I GUESS IT'S FOR MAYBE MAX AND DR. WRIGHT.
I KNOW THIS MEETING WE HAD LAST FRIDAY WAS A GREAT MEETING.
I THINK IT WAS REALLY EYE-OPENING WITH A LOT OF THINGS.
COULD YOU MAYBE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR BONDING CAPACITY THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING AS FAR AS WHAT THE BONDING CAPACITY RANGES, I GUESS BASED ON OUR LOW, MEDIUM, AND HIGH PROJECTIONS.
THEN SAME QUESTION AS RELATES TO WHAT'S THIS TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US NOW?
>> YES, SIR. TWO-PART QUESTION.
I'LL ANSWER THE FIRST PART FIRST, ON PAGE 8 ON THE DOCUMENT THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS FROM DUSTY.
BUT THEN PAGES 9, 10, AND 11 ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SPECIFICALLY.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE RANGE RIGHT NOW IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 365 MILLION AT A SLOW GROWTH MODE AND UPWARDS OF 410 IN A FAST GROWTH MODE.
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE, DUSTY IS STILL TRACKING, THAT ADDITIONAL 5,200 STUDENTS THAT THE NEW DEMOGRAPHER JUST TALKED ABOUT.
THAT WAS THE FIRST PART. I'M SORRY, THE SECOND QUESTION WAS?
>> THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THIS.
>> THE CURRENT DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT THE COMMITTEE PUT
[02:35:02]
OUT ON NOVEMBER 30TH IS RIGHT AT $423 MILLION.>> ABOUT 80 MILLION OVER? BASED ON THE ESTIMATED CAPACITY ON THE RANGE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING.
>> SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 365 AND 410 IS THE RANGE.
WE TALKED ABOUT NOT GOING TO FAST GROWTH RANGE SO 365-375 ISH WITHOUT THAT ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS ON THE 5,200 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS. HE'S WORKING ON THAT NOW.
>> THEN I GUESS WHEN WE GET TO THAT TIME TO START WIDDLING STUFF DOWN, WILL THAT LIST BE WE ALL BE GOING THROUGH THAT AND WIDDLING THAT DOWN SO TO SPEAK, TO GET WITHIN OUR CAPACITY NUMBERS THAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH, WHAT RANDY FEELS COMFORTABLE WITH, WITH WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND THEN COMING BACK TO US WITH THE REVISED LISTS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT FROM THERE.
>> YES, EXACTLY. WE'LL PROBABLY TRY TO STICK TO THAT MEDIUM OF GROWTH RANGE.
THAT MEANS THAT WE'LL HAVE TO PRIORITIZE AND THEN SOME OF THE PROJECTS MAY NOT MAKE THIS YEAR'S BOND, BUT THEY'LL STAY ON THE LIST AND MAYBE BE LOOKED AT AGAIN FOR WHATEVER THE NEXT BOND SEQUENCE WOULD BE.
>> THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR RIGHT NOW.
>> MAX, JUST SO THAT I'M CLEAR, I'M SORRY.
423 MILLION IS THE WHOLE THING?
>> YES, MA'AM. THAT'S THE ENTIRE THING.
ALL THE ITEMS THAT HAD 50 PERCENT OR MORE YES VOTES FROM THE COMMITTEE.
IF IT DIDN'T HAVE 50 PERCENT YES VOTES IN THE TAB COLUMN, IT WILL SHOW ZERO.
THEN THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN THAT SHOWS WHAT THE VALUE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOND.
THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THERE ARE SOME ITEMS WRITTEN IN RED TEXT.
THOSE WERE ITEMS THAT WERE COMMITTEE REQUESTS.
AS WE WERE DEBATING ALL THOSE DIFFERENT ITEMS, THE COMMITTEE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL REQUESTS AT KYLE AND TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY AND THEN ALSO AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WAIT ROOMS, [OVERLAPPING] AT THE VOTE MEETING.
>> IF WE WERE TO CUT OFF, NOT THAT WE'RE CUTTING STUFF, BUT JUST CAN YOU GIVE ME AND I'M GOING TO ASK THIS QUESTION FOR YOU TO RESPOND TO ME LATER.
WHAT THE TOTAL CLASS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO ADD IT RIGHT NOW.
IF IT'S UNDER 50 PERCENT, WHAT WOULD THAT TAKE US TO INSTEAD OF 423 MILLION, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
>> IT IS CURRENTLY AT 423 WITH THOSE ITEMS REMOVED, IT'D BE 432 WITH THOSE ITEMS PUT BACK IN, WAS THAT YOUR QUESTION?
>> THE 423 YOU SAID WAS ALL OF THIS?
>> THEY SAID THE ONES THAT DIDN'T RANK 50 PERCENT OR MORE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW.
>> 423 IS WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS.
>> MAYBE CLARIFY THE RECOMMENDATION [INAUDIBLE].
>> YOU WERE TOTALLY CONFUSING MAX.
[OVERLAPPING] TIM CAN YOU SAY THAT ON THE MIC, PLEASE? BECAUSE MAX TOLD ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> WELL, HE'S JUST NOT BEING AS CLEAR. HE SAID IT.
>> THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMITTEE IS JUST THE ITEMS THAT RECEIVED 50 PERCENT OR MORE OF COMMITTEE SUPPORT FOR IT TO BE IN THE BOND.
THE COMMITTEE IS NOT RECOMMENDING TO YOU THE ITEMS THAT DID NOT RECEIVE THE 50 PERCENT, THEY ARE STILL ON THAT SHEET THOUGH.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS NEXT IN LINE.
>> WHAT'S THE DOLLAR FIGURE FOR THE 50 PERCENT?
>> 423 FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S ABOVE 50 PERCENT.
>> SORRY. YES, 423 IS THE RECOMMENDATION WHICH INCLUDES ALL THE ITEMS 50 PERCENT AND MORE.
FOUR THIRTY TWO IF EVERYTHING ON THAT PIECE OF PAPER WERE IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S $9 MILLION DIFFERENCE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW.
WE'LL HAVE TO REMOVE AROUND 50 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS IN ORDER TO BE WITHIN OUR CAPACITY ACCORDING TO WHAT DUSTY TRAILER SAID.
>> THEN WE CAN DEFINITELY DECREASE THAT PERCENTAGE PIECE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ITEMS, BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT THE PUBLIC SAYS. THANKS.
>> [NOISE] JUST FOR THE RECORD, ALSO TO CLARIFY, THERE'S A PRETTY BIG TICKET ITEM.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP THIS WAY ON WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
BUT THE WAIT ROOMS FOR THE ESSENTIALLY-
>> THERE WAS A FEW BIG-TICKET ITEMS FOR SURE.
>> WELL, THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR, THAT WAS MAYBE THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THE VOTE MEETING.
[02:40:01]
IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO VOTE TO ADD THAT BACK.WE HAD TAKEN IT OFF NOT COMPLETELY BUT ESSENTIALLY, THE MULTIPURPOSE PAVILIONS WOULD BE PHASED IN BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.
THE IDEA WAS BUILD THE PAVILION THEN THE WAIT ROOM THEN WHATEVER.
SOMEONE WANTED TO ADD A VOTE FOR WHAT'S THE SUPPORT TO BUILD THE WAIT ROOMS NOW.
THAT'S ADDED IN AND IT'S A BIG-TICKET ITEM.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT WHAT WE'RE GIVING YOU IS OVER BUDGET.
>> RIGHT. IT'S ON THE BUBBLE TOO AND I TALKED TO MR. CLEAVER.
THIS BOARD IS FAMILIAR WITH DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THINGS ON THE BUBBLE AND SEEING WHAT.
>> WHAT'S GOING OUT INTO THE AIR FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE NOT CRAZY.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS PRESENT YOU THE FULL LIST, PRESENT YOU THE ITEMS THAT WE FELT LIKE ARE MOST IMPORTANT BASED ON HOW THEY WERE VOTED ON.
BUT STILL LETTING YOU SEE EVERYTHING, SEE ALL THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS, AND MOVE THINGS AROUND AS YOU.
>> MS. BEDWELL, IN LIGHT OF THE DEMOGRAPHER REPORT AND I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH YOUR APOC MEMBERS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RE-VOTE THIS?
>> PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO CHANGE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE.
THE THINGS THAT NEED TO GET BUILT BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHER'S REPORT, [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEY'RE DEFINITELY PRIORITIZED.
>> THEY ARE ON THIS OR THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF NUANCING WHICH PARTICULAR YEAR WE BOND SOME THINGS.
I DON'T THINK IT WOULD CHANGE THE 2023 AT ALL.
>> BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD SOME CONSTERNATION ABOUT GETTING THE DEMOGRAPHER REPORTS SO LATE.
>> LET ME ALREADY CORRECT MYSELF.
IT MAY CHANGE SOME PRIORITIES OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT CLASSROOMS OR SPACE, LIKE A BAND HALL OR A GYM.
THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS ON THERE THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY ALREADY CONSIDER EXTRAS.
SOME OF THOSE WERE EXPENSIVE. THEY ARE ALL EXPENSIVE.
YES. FOR SOME PEOPLE I THINK IT WOULD SAY, I DON'T KNOW WE MIGHT HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL OR WHATEVER AND SO WE'LL BE CAREFUL WITH THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE EXTRAS.
>> WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET INTO THE WEEDS OF THIS BUT IT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING I THINK YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS PRETTY DEAD-ON OF HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THINGS.
I DID SAY MULTIPLE TIMES TO OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
YOU REPORT TO A PARTICULAR BOARD MEMBER.
AFTER THIS VOTE, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DOWNLOAD WITH THEM THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
THIS DOESN'T NECESSARILY REPRESENT EVERY INDIVIDUAL OPINION.
YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU AND FEEL FREE TO COPY EVERYBODY ON THERE.
HOPEFULLY, THEY'RE GOING TO ALSO REACH OUT TO YOU WITH EVEN SOME MORE DETAILS.
IT'S HARD TO GET THE WHOLE PICTURE FROM ALL THESE LITTLE LINES.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S HELPFUL.
MR. SEVERANCE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT BONDING CAPACITY.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD LEVEL SET METRIC TO HAVE EVEN AT THIS JUNCTURE THANK YOU FOR THAT.
TIM, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? MR. CLEAVER, YOU HAVE MORE COMMENTS FOR US?
>> I DO. THERE'S ONE PERSON THAT ACTUALLY DIDN'T COME UP DURING THE RECOGNITION WAS AMANDA MCCOY.
SHE HAS BEEN RUNNING THIS THING THE WHOLE TIME.
[APPLAUSE] WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT AMANDA MCCOY.
>> SHE DESERVES A LOT OF RECOGNITION MR. CLEAVER.
>> GOOD JOB. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE LANCE MOFFITT, DUSTY GIBBS, PATTY MORENO, JASON ATOM, HAVING ADVOCATES FOR OUR FACILITIES FOR FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS WHO WORK TOGETHER, WHO GET IT, WHO WANT TO BE COLLABORATIVE, I JUST PERSONALLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
I'VE SEEN HOW YOU WORK TOGETHER AND THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING WE'VE NEEDED IN THIS DISTRICT.
STEVE, THANK YOU, PASS ALONG ALL THE THANK YOU'S TO YOUR TEAMS.
I JUST WANT THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW.
I THINK A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL SEE A LONG LIST AND SEE SOME BIG PRICE TAGS AND THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS, LIKE WHAT ARE THEY ASKING FOR? BUT I WANT TO PUBLICLY SAY THAT ALL OF THE PEOPLE YOU WERE JUST MENTIONING,
[02:45:04]
I'VE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THEM AND THEY ARE SO GOOD AT PRIORITIZING THE NEEDS, WEEDING OUT THE STUFF THAT CAN WAIT OR THAT WE DON'T NEED, THEY ARE VERY IN TUNE WITH THE BUDGET, THE CAPACITY, WHAT DO KIDS ACTUALLY REALLY NEED.>> BASED ON NUMBERS AND PROGRAMS AND IT IS NOT EASY BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW AND I GET IT.
>> SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
THAT'S MY PERSPECTIVE AND I DON'T GET TO WORK WITH THEM AS OFTEN AS YOU GUYS DO.
WELL, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CONTINUATION OF THE BOND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND HOLD PUBLIC FORUMS REGARDING THE RECOMMENDATION BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE FACILITIES BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AS PRESENTED.
MOVED BY MRS. RUNKLE, SECONDED BY MR. MCMANUS, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY FOR THE RECORD, I THINK WE LANDED ON TWO PUBLIC FORUMS, ONE TO BE HELD HERE IN THE COCOA ROOM AND ONE TO BE HELD AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.
ANY? NO MORE DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 7-0.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A LARGE BOND.
[L.9. Consideration and possible approval of 2021 Bond - Wallace Middle School Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 2]
HEY, CAN I JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR FBOC MEMBERS THAT ARE STILL HERE, STILL LISTENING.[APPLAUSE] I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR CERTIFICATES.
NEXT UP WE HAVE OUR GMP FOR WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
MR. CLEAVER, ARE YOU READY FOR QUESTIONS?
>> I AM. AND I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE THE 2021 BOND LOOK AHEAD AT YOUR PLACE.
AND IT'S A LONG LEDGER SHEET THAT I FOLDED REAL NEAT. THERE YOU GO.
AND SO WHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT ON THAT IS THAT THIS IS THE FINAL BID PACKAGE.
GMP 1 WAS LONG LEAD ITEMS, AC AND ROOFING.
GMP 2 THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING TONIGHT IS FOR THE STEEL PACKAGE.
AND THEN GMP 3, WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING YOU ALL IN MARCH OF 2023.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AHEAD, IF IT MAINTAINS LIKE IT'S GOING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET WALLACE APPROVED, THAT GMP THREE APPROVED AND STILL HAVE ABOUT $2 MILLION OF PROJECT CONTINGENCY FOR THE BOND PROJECT CONTINGENCY.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT, THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE IT WITH A LITTLE BIT TO SPARE.
>> GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER? MR. ROSCOE?
>> MAX, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE ON THIS AS FAR AS WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETED?
>> THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE WOULD BE AUGUST OF 2024.
>> AND DOLLS ROOM FROM LOOKS AMAZING.
I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WALLACE ALSO GETTING THAT SAME AREA.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME. AND WE'RE MAKING SURE THE STAGE IN EACH STAGE COMPONENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE.
>> AWESOME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR GMP HERE FOR WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL? THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE TO FROM BARTLETT COCKE CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $377,978 FOR THE STRUCTURAL STEEL PACKAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2021 BOND IMPROVEMENTS TO WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL, DESIGNED BY O'CONNELL ROBERTSON ARCHITECTS, AS PRESENTED.
MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 7-0. NEXT UP,
[L.10. Consideration and possible approval of Design to Date and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 1 for Long Lead Items for 2022 Bond Academic Support Center]
WE HAVE OUR LAST ACTION ITEM.THIS IS A GMP FOR OUR BOND ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. SO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM ON PAGE 74 IS ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF TWO THINGS.
[02:50:02]
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF GMP 1 IN THE AMOUNT OF 11,552,361 AND IT'S SIMILAR TO THE GMP 1S YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.IT'S FOR THE LONG LEAD ITEMS, HVAC EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURAL STEEL, ROOFING, SELECT DEMOLITION AND SITE WORK.
>> WHAT ABOUT ELECTRIC PANELS FOR CAFETERIAS?
THAT IS EXACTLY WHY WE'RE DOING IT. THAT IS RIGHT.
>> I WAS JUST JOKING? [LAUGHTER] IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?
NO JOKES ABOUT ELECTRIC PANELS.
>> SO WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO APPROVALS, GUARANTEED PRICE GMP 1, AND THEN ALSO FOR THE DESIGN TO DATE, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO APPROXIMATELY 50% DD.
YOU GOT ACTUALLY TWO PACKAGES.
YOU GOT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR PACKAGE 1, WHICH IS GMP 1, AND YOU'VE GOT 50% CDS FOR GMP 2, PACKAGE 2.
AND SO THE MAIN THING IS THAT THERE WAS A GMP FOR PACKAGE 2, IT SHOWS A SITE PLAN AND SO YOU'VE GOT A THIRD DOCUMENT WHICH WAS JUST A SITE PLAN BY ITSELF.
BECAUSE THE ONE THING WE'RE STILL DOING IS LOOKING AT WE HAD TO ROTATE IT AT ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO GET ALL ON ONE STRATUM AS FAR AS WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THE SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS.
AND SO EVERYTHING'S THE SAME FOR GMP 2, THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU GOT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SITE PLAN, WE'RE ROTATING THE BUILDING TO BE MORE PARALLEL WITH I35.
AND SO YOU'VE GOT THOSE DOCUMENTS AND WE CAN GO THROUGH ANY OF THEM IF YOU WANT ME TO POINT OUT EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
AND SO THE OTHER MAIN THING I THINK AS FAR AS YOU-ALL'S PERSPECTIVE GOES, THAT WE ARE NEEDING CLARIFICATION ON IS THERE'S A THIRD DOCUMENT THAT SHOWS VARIOUS ITEMS FOR THE BOARD ROOM ITSELF.
AND SO WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW WHERE WE HAVE TO DECIDE ON THE SIZE OF THE TEAS.
AND SO WE'RE DESIGNING AT A SIZE OF, I BELIEVE, FOUR FEET SPACE.
AND WE HAVE ALSO HAVE AN OPTION OF A FIVE-FOOT SPACE.
BUT IF WE DO THE FIVE-FOOT TEAS SPACE, THAT WILL REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE KITCHENETTE INSIDE THE BOARD AREA, AND ALSO REDUCE THE CHAIR STORAGE A LITTLE BIT.
AND SO WE'VE GOT THOSE DOCUMENTS, WE PROVIDED YOU THOSE, I BELIEVE ON WEDNESDAY.
AND SO WHAT I TOLD O'CONNELL ROBERTSON WAS I HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR, I THINK YOU-ALL WANT MORE SPACE AT THE TEAS THAN LESS SPACE AT THE TEAS.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL IF YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THOSE DOCUMENTS AND IF YOU HAD COMMENTS ON THOSE.
>> TEAM, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE BOARD MEETING SPECS FOR THE TEAS. MRS, OROSCO.
>> MAX, DO YOU HAVE THOSE IN OUR FOLDER?
>> THEY WERE PROVIDED ELECTRONICALLY BECAUSE THEY WERE SO THICK.
>> I WAS WAITING TO SEE THEM BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE THE BIG THING BECAUSE MY COMPUTER'S PRETTY SMALL.
SO I DID NOT SEE THEM BECAUSE I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD BE IN OUR FOLDER.
>> YES, MA'AM. WE DID NOT PRINT THEM BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST SO MANY OF THEM.
>> I SAW THE ELECTRONIC ONE, IT WAS LIKE 3D RENDERINGS AND ALL THAT FOR THE OUTSIDE.
>> I SAW A PART OF IT AND I JUST COULDN'T REALLY SEE IT VERY WELL.
SO I'M GOING TO PULL IT UP TO SEE IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE IN OUR TEAS FOLDER OR WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GET A NEW ONE OF THESE TO LOOK AT.
>> I THINK WE CAN ALSO PULL IT UP ON THE SCREEN. THERE WE GO.
AND SO IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE ONE LABELED MAYBE AS.
IT'S THE ONE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BOARD ROOM.
YEAH. IT WAS JUST A SPECIFIC ONE JUST FOR THE BOARDROOM.
AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY PULL THAT UP AND SEND THAT TO HER.
CONCEPTUALLY, I THINK YOU ALL HAVE ABOUT FIVE FEET NOW.
I WAS GOING UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL WERE WANTING TO DO.
WE'RE HAVING THEM WORK ON BOTH DRAWINGS.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY WHAT DO WE HAVE NOW? WHAT IS THIS?
>> THAT'S ABOUT FIVE FEET BETWEEN YOU ALL BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT A 60-INCH DESK AND YOU'RE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
>> THE OTHER THING IS IT'S NOT A C-LIKE THIS.
[02:55:05]
IT'S MORE OF A WING, SO IT PUSHES IT OUT FURTHER.THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATION.
THEY'RE DESIGNING BOTH DIRECTIONS.
SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE BOTH DRAWINGS.
IT JUST HAS IMPACT ON HOW THE REST OF THE ROOM GOES.
>> WE'LL START OVER HERE ON MY LEFT, MR. VELA.
>> YEAH. MR. CLEAVER, THANK YOU FOR PERSPECTIVE.
I THINK WHAT WE HAVE IS PLENTY OF ROOM.
YOU SEE I GOT PLENTY OF THINGS SPREAD INCLUDING A SPRITE OVER HERE AND MY CANDLE FROM EARLIER, BUT I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO WORK AND BE COMFORTABLE.
>> MS. FRANCO, DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION?
>> YEAH. I LIKE THE SPACING TOO.
I DON'T LIKE BEING TOO FAR FROM YOU GUYS, SO IT'S NICE.
>> THE SPACING ON THE CORNERS HERE IS EVEN FURTHER, SO YOU-ALL WOULD BE TIGHTENED UP A LITTLE BIT.
>> MR. MCMANUS, DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION?
>> WELL, YES. I LIKE THE FIVE FOOT OPTION.
WILLING TO GIVE UP SOME KITCHEN SPACE OR WHATEVER FOR THAT.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT MR. CLEAVER, THAT IS ON THERE THAT NO ONE IS STUCK ON A CORNER.
>> DESK AND A MONITOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM WHERE WE CAN SEE THE PRESENTATIONS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF, CORRECT?
>> EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN MONITOR, MONITOR STAND AND THEN THERE'S ALSO MONITORS THROUGHOUT THE ROOM.
>> MR. SEVERANCE, DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION?
>> HERE WE GO. WE'VE GOT IT ON THE SCREEN.
>> THANK YOU ALL. APPRECIATE IT.
BASICALLY RIGHT OFF THE BAT, THAT BOTTOM-LEFT, THAT'S JUST ALL FURNITURE. HERE'S A PLACE HOLDER.
SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHITE CHAIRS, DON'T GET BENT AROUND THE ACTUAL THERE.
OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT, IT SHOWS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK FACING THE DICE AND THEN WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FACING OUT FROM THE DICE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT.
THAT'S JUST A LARGER VIEW OF WHAT YOU WOULD SEE AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT REAL.
MR. ROSCOE, ELECTRICAL OUTLETS FACING OUT FROM THE DIETS ON THE LEFT SIDE.
YOU WOULD HAVE TWO ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AND TWO USBS AND I GUESS THAT'S A LAND LINE IN CASE YOU WANTED TO PLUG IN A LANDLINE TELEPHONE JUST IN CASE.
[LAUGHTER] JUST IN CASE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS. THEN NEXT SLIDE.
>> REAL QUICK MAX, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE?
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT IT, IT LOOKS A LITTLE WEIRD BECAUSE IT HAS ONE PERSON RIGHT HERE AND THEN FOUR AND THEN TWO.
MOST BOARDROOMS, MOST DIOCESE WILL HAVE EVEN ON THE SIDE, TWO CHAIRS, TWO CHAIRS AND HAVE THOSE THREE OR FOUR IN THE MIDDLE.
IT'S ACTUALLY EIGHT SO HERE IT ONLY SHOWS SEVEN.
>> YEAH, IT'S 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. [BACKGROUND]
>> YEAH. WELL, THEN THEY NEED A BIT OF RENDERING THERE.
MAX IS THE HEIGHT WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT LOWER HEIGHT?
>> YES MA'AM. THERE'S A SLIDE IN HERE THAT SHOWS THAT I BELIEVE IT'S EIGHT INCHES BUT THERE'S A FUTURE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THAT SPECIFIC DETAIL.
>> IN INCHES. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT EIGHT INCHES?
>> EIGHT INCH HEIGHT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THING IN FRONT OF YOU?
>> YEAH BUT IT'S EITHER SIX OR 8 INCHES THAT'S IN HERE.
>> ENOUGH TO HIDE THE SPRITE CAN.
>> WAS IT MORE LIKE THE ONE THAT WE SAW IN WEMBLEY THEN?
>> I THINK IT'S LIKE THE ONE EXACTLY THE HEIGHT YOU TOLD US TO MAKE IT AT AUSTIN.
>> NO. AUSTIN WAS THAT HIGH ONE.
>> IT'S IN-BETWEEN THE TWO. IT'S THE SIZE YOU TOLD US.
>> IF YOU HAD A RULER OUT THERE.
>> HOW ABOUT THE CUBBIES? WHERE ARE THE CUBBIES?
>> THERE ARE SOME HERE AND HERE AND ALSO THERE'S SOME CUBBIES RIGHT HERE.
WELL, THERE'S A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THAT HERE.
THIS IS JUST THE BOARDROOM ELECTRICAL AND DATA PLAN THAT'S SHOWING YOU WHERE ALL THE OUTLETS ARE AND THE DIFFERENT WALL DROPS AND THE DIFFERENT SPECIALTY POWERS AND DIFFERENT OUTLETS.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS.
HAS OUR IT TEAM AND SOUND ENGINEERING TEAMS LOOKED AT THIS AND APPROVED HDMI'S AND XOR'S AND ANY CHORDS WE MIGHT NEED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM?
>> THAT'S ALL STILL BEING WORKED OUT BUT THE ANSWER IS YES,
[03:00:02]
WE HAVE THOSE PEOPLE ENGAGED. YES MA'AM.>>THEN HOW ABOUT THE AV BOOTH OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD CALL IT.
>> I'LL SHOW YOU HERE IN THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
NEXT ONE PLEASE. YOU ASKED ABOUT THE AV BOOTH WE'LL START THERE.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A MOBILE SOLUTION FOR THE AV BOOTH.
THIS MOBILE SOLUTION HERE AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE PLACED RIGHT HERE AND IT'S A STANDING DESK WHERE YOU COULD HAVE A STOOL.
YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT HAVING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT WITH THE PERSON AND SO THAT WOULD BE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM HERE.
YOU'D BE ELEVATED ON THE TEAS HERE TO HAVE DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT.
>> I WOULD HOPE THEY'D HAVE LIKE A BACK ON THEIR CHAIR BECAUSE SITTING THERE FOR 6 HOURS, [OVERLAPPING] WE WILL HAVE TO PAY THEIR CHIROPRACTOR BILLS TOO.
>> THEY'RE COMFORTABLE STOOL WITH FOOT REST.
>> IF THEY'RE SURE THEY MIGHT NOT WANT A STOOL LIKE ME.
I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE SITTING IN A STORE FOR SIX HOURS.
>> MAKE SURE ABOUT THAT. THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL FURNITURE, CORRECT?
>> THAT'S RIGHT. THIS IS JUST SHOWING FOR INSTANCE WHAT COULD GO IN THERE.
>> THAT WOOD PANELING IS, SOMETHING ELSE.
THEN HERE AGAIN WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE TEAS SPACING.
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS AS THIS TEAS IT GETS LARGER THIS LITTLE KITCHENETTE SPACE HERE WILL SHRINK BECAUSE YOU GOT TO LOOK AT THIS CRITICAL ANGLE.
[NOISE] THIS KITCHEN WILL SHRINK AND THEN THIS CHAIR STORAGE WILL SHRINK IF THIS WALL HAS TO MOVE.
THEN AGAIN THIS IS JUST TYPICALLY SHOWN LIKE WHAT COULD GO THERE AND WHAT COULD GO IN THOSE AREAS.
THIS GETS INTO THE DIFFERENCES TO THE DIFFERENT SIZES ABOUT WHAT THOSE WOULD LOOK LIKE.
WHAT IT'S DRAWN IN NOW IS THE SMALLER TEAS AND WHEN I SAY SMALLER TEAS IT'S THIS THREE-SEVENTH IN-BETWEEN SPACES.
THESE ACTUALLY WOULD BE JUST MOBILE CARTS NOTHING BUILT-IN AGAIN FOR ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY JUST MOBILE.
WHAT DO YOU CALLED THOSE FILING CABINETS.
THEN HERE'S JUST A SAMPLE OF WHAT TABLET MOUNTS YOU COULD HAVE FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER. THEN NEXT SLIDE.
THIS SHOWS YOU THE LITTLE BIT LONGER.
THE FIRST ONE HERE THIS DIMENSION WAS 16.
IN THE LARGER TEAS IT GOES UP TO 18 AND THE OVERALL DIMENSION IS 35 FOOT OPENING.
IF YOU'D GO BACK ABOUT TWO SLIDES WE CAN SEE WHAT THE OPENING IS.
IT'S ABOUT FOUR FOOT DIFFERENCE IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BETWEEN THE SMALLER AND THE LARGER TEAS.
MOVE FORWARD AND THEN ONE MORE.
THEN THIS IS JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL RENDERING OF WHAT THE CONFERENCE ROOM COULD LOOK LIKE WHETHER IT'S BUILT-INS OR IT'S A FF&E SOLUTION IT'S STILL TO BE DETERMINED.
NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S IT. WE'RE HAVING THEM DESIGN BOTH THAT LARGE AND THE SMALL DICES JUST SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE LOOKS LIKE.
BUT AT A MINIMUM, IT'D BE A FOUR-FOOT SPACE.
>> MISS OROSCO DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> [NOISE] I LIKE THE FIVE-FOOT.
IT'S THIS SIZE, IS FIVE FOOT YOU SAID?
>> THAT TABLE IS, I BELIEVE, OF A 60-INCH TABLE. YES, MA'AM.
>> SINCE WITH TONIGHT, WE HAD OUR AWESOME ENTERTAINERS TONIGHT, MY QUESTION WAS, WHAT TO WIN BROADLY I KNOW LIKE IF THIS IS THE NEW BOARDROOM, THE WALL WAS BLOCKED OFF FROM THE PUBLIC.
YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH A SEPARATE DOOR TO GET TO THE BACK.
BUT IN THIS ONE IT'S JUST GOING TO BE OPEN, SO WE CAN WALK DOWN AND GET AROUND AND TAKE PICTURES AND STUFF?
>> WE THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE HEARD.
THAT'S HOW IT'S CURRENTLY DRAWN.
>> IT'S OPEN, AND IT'S ALSO IF YOU GO BACK ONE MORE SLIDE.
IT'S OPEN, AND RIGHT HERE, THIS AREA IS RAISED.
IF THEY WANTED TO SEEING HERE, THIS IS A PLACE YOU COULD, THAT'S A PHOTO OP PLAY UP NOW IT'S A LITTLE, THIS WHOLE AREA. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I THINK I SAW THOSE LINES AND THOUGHT THEIR TV IS NOW SEEING THAT.
I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE LIKE LITTLE HALF WALLS OR SOMETHING. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
>> NO THOSE TWO, THAT'S A GOOD CATCH BYRON AND THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
>> YEAH. AWESOME. I THINK IT WAS GREAT. THANK YOU.
>> I THINK I'M ALSO IN FAVOR OF FIVE-FOOT.
I WOULD SAY I WOULDN'T, BUT LOOK AT THIS MESS I'VE MADE HERE.
BACK TO YOUR POINT, IF WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE,
[03:05:01]
WE HAVE MORE SPACE FOR KIDS.>> PEOPLE TO COME UP, AND SO THAT'S ALSO EXCITING.
YOU SAW THAT WOOD VENEER IS ON THERE.
THE WOOD VENEER, THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GETTING.
>>YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE DESIGNER IS ON THIS, [LAUGHTER] BUT WE NEED TO TALK. IT IS TERRIBLE.
THIS IS WHAT THEY'VE APPROVED.
WE'RE NOT LIVING THERE, THEY ARE.
WE JUST COME ONCE A MONTH. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT WAS A DESIGNER FROM THE FOX.
THEY PICKED UGLY COLORS BEFORE TO YOU [LAUGHTER] AND WE HAD TO TALK ABOUT THE COLORS OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? QUESTIONS. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE DESIGN TO DATE FOR THE HAYS CISD ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER AND GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, ONE FROM BARTLETT COCKE CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF, THIS IS A WEIRD NUMBER.
