>> IT'S WHAT'S IN YOUR BOARD PACKET.
>> GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT PETRIE AND DR. WRIGHT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
AND THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.
THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE REQUIRES EACH DISTRICT'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO PUBLISH THIS ANNUAL REPORT.
FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS AS WE GO THROUGH THE REPORT.
THIS SECOND SLIDE IS A LINKED LIST TO THE APPROPRIATE REPORTS REQUIRED IN THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE'RE ALSO ADDING THE GLOSSARY AT THE END.
THE TAPR IS ALWAYS THE FIRST PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT.
AS WE KNOW, OUR DISTRICT IMPROVED THREE POINTS FROM THE LAST TIME WE RECEIVED A RATING AS IT STAYED AT A B FOR THE 21/22 SCHOOL YEAR.
THE COVER PAGE ALSO SHOWS THE SPECIAL EDUCATION DETERMINATION STATUS AS NEEDS ASSISTANCE.
THIS TIES INTO THE PLAN THAT WE TURNED INTO THE STATE THAT WAS SHARED WITH THE BOARD LAST MONTH.
ALSO A REMINDER ABOUT THE TAPR THAT THESE DATA PIECES ARE NOTHING NEW.
THIS IS ALL STUFF THAT WE'VE SHARED WITH THE BOARD AS WE GET THOSE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THIS TYPICALLY STARTS IN JUNE OR JULY DEPENDING ON WHEN WE RECEIVED THAT INFORMATION FROM THE STATE.
THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE TAPR. NEXT SLIDE.
THIS IS ALL THE STUFF NOT DIRECTLY TIED TO STAR DATA.
THE NEXT SECTION IS THE PMS FINANCIAL STANDARD REPORTS, WHICH ARE PREPARED BY THE TEA DIVISION OF SCHOOL FINANCE.
THIS IS SHARED ANNUALLY WITH THE BOARD AS PART OF THE BUDGET ADOPTION PROCESS AT THE DISTRICT AND CAMPUS LEVEL.
FOR THIS REPORT, THIS WOULD BE FINANCIAL DATA APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN THE FALL OF 2021.
THE 2021 FIRST STANDING FOR FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS RATING FOR HAYS CISD WAS AN A SUPERIOR AND AGAIN, THAT INCLUDES R22 ACCOUNTABILITY RATING OF A B.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS THAT TEA, ONCE AGAIN,
[00:05:03]
DID NOT ASSIGN THE ACCREDITATION STATUS TO ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR THE 2021 OR '21/'22 SCHOOL YEAR.WE WERE ACCREDITED THE LAST TIME THIS WAS ASSIGNED.
THIS SHOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
INCLUSION OF OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS IS A REQUIREMENT IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT.
AS YOU KNOW, THIS SIPS ARE APPROVED BY THE BOARD EACH FALL AND POSTED ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITES.
THE FIFTH PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT IS INFORMATION ON VIOLENT AND CRIMINAL INCIDENTS.
THIS REPORT SHOULD BE BROKEN DOWN BY INCIDENT ON EACH CAMPUS WHERE PERMITTED BY FERPA.
THIS REPORT DOES SHOW IN THE '21/'22 SCHOOL YEAR ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THAT WE HAD TWO INCIDENCES THAT HAD TO BE REPORTED.
AS IN ANY SCHOOL YEAR, WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE HARD WORK OF ALL OF OUR CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS, COUNSELORS, SROS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS FOR HOW THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER TO KEEP ALL OF OUR STUDENTS SAFE.
THIS SLIDE, AND WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE TOO, THIS SHOWS OUR STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS REPORTED FOR OUR CLASS OF 2019.
AS STATED, THIS IS COMPILED BY THE TEXAS HIGHER ED COORDINATING BOARD.
THE MOST CURRENT REPORT IS FOR THE CLASS OF 2019.
THIS IS THE SAME EXACT THING THAT WE SAW LAST YEAR IN THE REPORT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE NEW REPORT JUST YET.
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO COME OUT AT SOME POINT THIS MONTH AND WE WILL PROVIDE THAT UPDATE AS SOON AS THAT REPORT DROPS.
BUT BECAUSE THIS REPORT IS VERY LAGGING INFORMATION, WE WON'T SEE THE EFFORTS OF OUR CURRENT SENIORS AND THE WORK OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH CCMR UNTIL JANUARY OF 2026.
SO IT'S A VERY LAGGING REPORT. NEXT SLIDE.
THE ONLY NEW ITEM REQUIRED FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT IS OUR PROGRESS IN MEETING THE BOARD ADOPTED HOUSE BILL THREE GOALS.
THESE WERE THE GOALS THAT WE REVIEWED BACK IN AUGUST AND THEY WERE APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER.
THEN THE LAST PIECE IS THE TAPR GLOSSARY FOR ALL THE VARIOUS PIECES OF THE TAPR.
AND THEN THE LAST SLIDE IS WE'LL HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED POSTINGS ON OUR DISTRICT SITE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, PROBABLY.
AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AND WE'LL TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU-ALL MIGHT HAVE.
TEAM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ALAN TRUJILLO? I SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL GET AN ANSWER TO THIS WEEK.
BUT I DID HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
AND YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT THIS A LOT, THIS LAGGING DATA SITUATION WITH OUR CCMR. SO WE HAVE 650 PEOPLE WE CAN'T FIND FROM 2019.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOT TRACKABLE AND NOT FOUND?
>> ALL OF THAT IS TRACKED AND DONE THROUGH THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD.
AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE TRACK FOR THAT PIECE OF DATA THAT'S IN THAT.
I'D HAVE TO GO DIG IN AS FAR AS THE DIFFERENT PIECES.
>> BECAUSE I KNOW IN CCMR WE'RE GRADED ON THIS AS PART OF OUR LETTER GRADE.
AND SO I KNOW THIS IS LAGGING EVEN MORE THAN I GUESS THAT DATA.
>> DR. WRIGHT, YOU HAD SOMETHING?
>> IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT OUT-OF-STATE, PUBLIC, AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES AREN'T TRACKED.
AND THEN PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER ED WITHIN THE STATE ARE TRACKED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT THEIR DATA.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS.
SO IT'S JUST THE ABILITY TO SHARE DATA BETWEEN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
SO WHEN THE STATE PASSES LAWS FOR THOSE THAT ARE MANDATED TO SHARE VERSUS THOSE THAT ARE NOT, PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM THAT.
>> BUT WE'RE NOT DEEMED FOR THIS BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE IS TRYING TO FIND OUR STUDENTS, NOT ON US TO FIND.
>> WHEN STUDENTS LEAVE LIKE THAT, IT'S HARD FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO KEEP UP WITH THAT.
AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR REPORT, THAT BODY FINDS ALL THAT WHERE THEY CAN WHERE IT'S AVAILABLE.
>> OKAY. BUT I THOUGHT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO DO BETTER ABOUT KEEPING TABS WITH OUR CURRENT GRADUATES BEFORE WE LOSE THEM AND THEIR GMAIL IS TURNED OFF AND GET THEIR EMAILS.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS REACHED OUT TO HIM.
HE ABSOLUTELY HAS A GMAIL AND A PHONE AS DO MOST PEOPLE THAT GRADUATE FROM OUR SCHOOLS, I WOULD GUESS.
SO AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T DING US, THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT.
I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE CCMR DATA WE ARE ABSOLUTELY MEASURED AGAINST, BUT I THINK THIS IS DIFFERENT.
SO MAYBE I'LL SAY THAT FRUSTRATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.
>> IT IS A DIFFERENT PROCESSES.
[00:10:02]
>> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, TEAM ON TAPR, MS. BRONCO?
>> CAN WE GET THE STAR DATA PER CAMPUS FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS?
>> THEN ALSO YOUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS ASSISTANCE WITH THAT POPULATION OF STUDENTS?
>> I BELIEVE WE SENT THAT PLAN LAST YEAR.
WE HAD TO SUBMIT THAT PLAN TO THE TEA.
>> WILL YOU PLEASE POST [INAUDIBLE] FOR US AGAIN? THANK YOU.
>> [INAUDIBLE] CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST ASKED? SORRY, IT'S HARD TO HEAR.
>> THEN YOU'RE GOING TO PUT TO THE TOP OF OUR BOARD BLOG THE PLAN THAT WE SUBMITTED TO TEA TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT RATING FOR SPED?
>> MRS. ROSCOE IS CAPTURING NOTES FOR US.
AWESOME. OR FOR ACTION ITEMS. ANYTHING ELSE TEAM ON THIS ITEM? PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> NEXT UP WE HAVE OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT, DR. ERIC WRIGHT.
[H. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU.>> THANK YOU. IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO COME AROUND TO THE FRONT.
TONIGHT IS BOARD APPRECIATION NIGHT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS ALWAYS RECOMMENDS THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE BOARD MEMBERS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.
WE TRY TO RECOGNIZE OURS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST BOARDS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND SO THIS IS ONGOING FOR US, BUT FORMALLY, WE DO IT IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS TEAM BEHIND ME IS TRULY STUDENT FOCUSED, EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY, WANTS TO DO THE BEST AND WANTS TO HAVE THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, SO IT MAKES MY JOB A WHOLE LOT LESS CHALLENGING BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT IDEAS.
ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS IS THEY DON'T GET PAID.
THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, FROM BUSINESS LEADERS TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE CHILDREN IN THE DISTRICT, TO TAXPAYERS THAT DON'T HAVE CHILDREN IN THE DISTRICT ANY LONGER.
OFTENTIMES IT'S A THANKLESS POSITION, AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, YOU PROBABLY ARE CHALLENGED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE AND SHOWCASE YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS MORE SO THAN THEM CALLING TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TELL THEM THAT THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB.
TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO HONOR THEM WITH A PLAQUE THAT HOPEFULLY THEY'LL PUT UP IN THEIR OFFICES.
LET ME READ YOU WHAT THIS PLAQUE SAYS AND THEN WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE COME UP TO THE FRONT AND THEN MR. SAVOY IS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF ALL OF US, AND THEN WE'LL PUT THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THEN NEXT WEEK, WE'VE ORDERED A SURPRISE FOR YOU AND IT'S COMING IN ON FRIDAY.
WE'LL CELEBRATE AGAIN NEXT MONDAY NIGHT AND WE WON'T HAVE SPEECHES, I PROMISE, WE'LL HAND YOU THE GIFT.
ANYWAY, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO READ THE PLAQUE AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NAME IS CHANGED.
IT SAYS, "SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION MONTH HONORING, IN THIS CASE, ESPERANZA OR ROSCOE, FOR DEDICATED LEADERSHIP IN PUBLIC EDUCATION AND CONTINUING SERVICE TO THE CHILDREN OF THIS COMMUNITY." THE THEME THIS YEAR FROM THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS IS FORWARD TOGETHER.
I THINK THIS IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE THIS GROUP ALWAYS KEEPS THE FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND THAT'S THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR KIDS THAT THEY OTHERWISE WOULDN'T HAVE, AND SO FORWARD TOGETHER IS AWESOME AND SERVICE ABOVE SELF HAS BEEN THE MANTRA FOR THIS BOARD.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO, AND LET'S CALL YOU UP ONE AT A TIME AND THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU A COLLECTIVE ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
>> WHILE SHE'S COMING UP, I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT THESE PLAQUES WERE HAND-CRAFTED WITH LOVE FROM PEOPLE AT TASB AND [INAUDIBLE] ARE ON DESIGNER IN-HOUSE.
>> WHEN YOU HANG THESE ON YOUR WALL IN A PROMINENT PLACE NEXT TO THE ONE YOU GOT LAST YEAR.
[LAUGHTER] JUST KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERYONE COMES WITH LOVE.
>> THANKS TIM. TIM IS A PERFECT FILLER WHILE I'M GETTING THESE READY.
NEXT DR. [INAUDIBLE] COME ON DOWN.
[APPLAUSE] WILL HAS A WHOLE WALL AT HIS HOUSE. [LAUGHTER]
>> VANESSA PITRI COME ON DOWN.
[APPLAUSE] FOLLOWED BY A RAUL VELLA, [APPLAUSE]
[00:15:04]
COURTNEY RANKL [APPLAUSE], BYRON SEVERANCE.[APPLAUSE] LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WILL MCMANUS.
>> ALL RIGHT TIM. [OVERLAPPING] [BACKGROUND]
>> LET'S GIVE THEM A COLLECTIVE ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
>> SORRY. THANK YOU DR. WRIGHT.
I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE IN YOUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
>> BARBARA, IF YOU DON'T MIND, GO AHEAD AND PUT THE TEACHER SALARY COMPARISON UP.
[BACKGROUND] FIRST ON MY REPORT, I RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM TASB'S HR DEPARTMENT, AND THEY COMPARED TEACHER SALARIES FOR REGIONS 13, WHICH IS AUSTIN, AND REGION 20, WHICH IS SAN ANTONIO.
WE'RE NOW LEADING THE PACK AT THE FIVE YEAR, 10 YEAR, 15 YEAR, AND 20 YEAR MARK.
[APPLAUSE] WE PURPOSELY DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO ATTRACT VETERAN TEACHERS AND THEN RETAIN VETERAN TEACHERS.
THANKS TO YOU GUYS APPROVING COMPENSATION INCREASES OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN SIZABLE.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THIS POINT.
I RECEIVED THE REPORT FROM TASB, BUT THEN AUSTIN ISD PUT OUT THIS CHART TODAY AND IT WAS ON OUR NEWS FEED AND I THOUGHT, HOW COOL IS THIS? AUSTIN ISD IS TOUTING HAYS CISD, [LAUGHTER] SO I'M GOING TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THIS.
BUT ED RAMOS, WHO IS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR AUSTIN SAID THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO GIVE A FIVE PERCENT PAY RAISE THIS YEAR TO TRY TO MAKE UP THAT GAP.
BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT YOUR PURPOSEFUL WORK HAS LED TO THIS OUTCOME, AND SO VERY PLEASED WITH THAT.
I WANTED THOSE ONLINE AND THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AS WELL.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING TO THAT POINT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THE TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM.
NOW THAT WE ARE BEING EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE, THE SKY IS GOING TO BE THE LIMIT, AND NOW WE JUST NEED TO KEEP PACE AND MAKE SURE WE MAINTAIN THAT MARGIN AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
NEXT, BARBARA, IF YOU'LL PULL UP THE AUSTIN NEW HOME RANKING REPORT.
THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESS TOO.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PASA, OUR NEW DEMOGRAPHER, BUT THIS IS THE LATEST REPORT WE RECEIVED FROM ZONDA BECAUSE WE'RE OVERLAPPING RIGHT NOW.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL TO SEE RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE NUMBER 1 IN CENTRAL TEXAS FOR ANNUAL STARTS AT 3,500 NEW HOMES PER YEAR.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO, LEANDER WAS LEADING AT 3,500 AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE SURPASSED THEM BY ABOUT 1,100 HOMES AND OUR CLOSINGS ARE AT 2,730.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT IS AS OF TODAY, WE'RE AT 22,380 STUDENTS.
[00:20:03]
YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE STARTED 3,500 HOMES, BUT WE'VE ONLY CLOSE 27, AND SO THERE'S AN 800 HOME DIFFERENTIAL THERE AND WE RECEIVE ABOUT 0.5 STUDENTS PER HOME.THAT MEANS THAT BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR OR THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR NEXT YEAR, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD ADD 350-400 MORE KIDS JUST THIS YEAR, AND SO I WANTED YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT.
THEN IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME FOR OUR FUTURE INVENTORY, WE HAVE 57,000 PLAN LOTS, AND SO YOU DO THE MATH, 3,500 NEW HOMES INTO 57,000, WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING FOR AWHILE.
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU SEE HOW WE COMPARE WITH THE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN OUR AREA SO THAT YOU COULD GRASP THE GROWTH, SO WANTED TO SHARE THAT.
BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PART, ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE NEW HOME RANKING REPORT OR ABOUT THE SALARY COMPARISON?
>> I AM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THIS SALARY COMPARISON, DR. WRIGHT, THANKS FOR PULLING THAT UP AND SHARING THAT WITH US.
WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOU HAVING THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AND MINDSET THAT WE ALL SHARE.
WE KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO INVEST IN OUR EMPLOYEES, THAT'S BEEN ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES.
WE KNOW THAT OUR EMPLOYEES REALLY ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR DISTRICT, ALONG WITH OUR FAMILIES, AND SO IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE SHARE THIS OUT.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE IT ON FACEBOOK IN OUR WEBSITE, ALL OF THAT, SHARING THAT OUT BECAUSE THAT IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER [LAUGHTER] THAT IS WILLING TO LOOK FOR EVERY PENNY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT COMPENSATION FIRST FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. WRIGHT FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD.
>> AWESOME. YES. WE ALL WANT TO ECHO MRS. ROSCOES.
THIS WAS VERY TIMELY TO HERE AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.
WE FELT LIKE WE WERE THE BEST AROUND.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE THE BEST AROUND NOW WE KNOW WE ARE, SO THAT'S PERFECT.
>> ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT BIT OF GOOD NEWS, WE HAD THREE TEA INTRUDER AUDITS TODAY AT FUENTES ELEMENTARY, AT WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE WERE NO FINDINGS AT ALL THREE OF THE SCHOOLS, SO I WANTED TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.
[APPLAUSE] ALL OF THE TEACHERS AND ALL THE ADMINISTRATORS THAT ARE KEEPING THEIR DOORS LOCKED AND ARE CONSTANTLY GOING AND CHECKING THOSE EXTERIOR DOORS ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB.
THEY ARE DOING AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB OF TRAINING.
ALSO SUGGESTING VERY STRONGLY WHEN THEY DO SEE A PROBLEM THAT WE CORRECT THE PROBLEM VERY QUICKLY.
DOES IT ALL FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN OUR SCHOOL AND IN OUR COMMUNITY.
KUDOS, WE'VE HAD, I THINK A TOTAL OF SIX INTRUDER AUDITS AND WE'VE HAD NO FINDINGS SO FAR.
JERRY'S TEAM AND THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION IN CAMPUS TEACHERS HAVE DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED.
>> DO WHAT? SEVEN. WE'VE HAD SEVEN WITH NO FUNDINGS.
I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY BUILDINGS.
I THOUGHT IF WE HAD ANY IN THE DISTRICT THAT WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A PERFECT SCORE ON, IT MIGHT BE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.
JERRY AND I WERE LITERALLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN AN OFFICE TODAY WHEN WE FOUND THAT OUT, SO IT'S PRETTY COOL.
NEXT THING, WE HAD OUR CAREER ON WHEELS DAY-TO-DAY AT THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER WHERE ALL THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL GOT TO COME BY AND TAKE A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WE OFFER AS FAR AS CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION.
THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME KNOW THAT I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION.
I THINK YOU LEARN HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, YOU LEARN HOW TO UTILIZE YOUR HANDS.
EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE AND GET A BACHELOR'S DEGREE, I THINK THERE'S NO ONE THAT SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM TAKING CTE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S JUST THAT POWERFUL.
I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME I'LL PROBABLY USE MORE OF THE SKILLS I LEARNED IN MY WOODWORKING CLASS, MY BROADCAST JOURNALISM CLASS, MY COMPUTER CLASS, THEN I REMEMBER IN MY OTHER CLASSES FOR.
ANYWAY, JUST PLUGGING THEM. IT WAS SO NICE.
TODAY, WE HAD EVERYTHING FROM VET TECH TO COSMETOLOGY TO BARBERING TO DRONE PILOTING,
[00:25:05]
TO FUTURE AIRPLANE PILOTS.OUR NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH SAME WORK IS REGIONAL AIRPORT.
YOU JUST GO THROUGH KIDS CAN LEARN HOW TO CODE.
THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT CYBERSECURITY.
THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO BE AN ELECTRICIAN.
I KNOW WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL, MY MOM AND DAD TOLD ME YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? ONLY 25 PERCENT OF THE JOBS TODAY REQUIRE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
MANY OF THESE JOBS ARE FRUITFUL AND THEY'LL LEAD TO I'M WONDERFUL LIVING WAGES.
APPRECIATE ALL THAT OUR CTE TEAM DOES.
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AND I HEARD KIDS TALKING ABOUT, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE OFFERED THAT, WE OFFERED THIS.
FOR AWARENESS, I THINK IT WAS GREAT PIECE.
FOR ALL THE PARENTS THAT ARE HAVING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM AN EIGHTH GRADER, IF YOU NEED SOME HELP, JUST FEEL FREE TO CALL US BECAUSE WE CAN FILL IN THE HOLES, OR THE GAPS WHERE YOU MIGHT NEED THAT.
NEXT THING. ALL OF OUR CHEERLEADING SQUADS, FROM LAYMAN, JOHNSON, AND HAYES PARTICIPATED AT THE UIL STATE SPIRIT CONTEST.
THE ONE THAT WENT THE FURTHEST WAS THE HAY'S CHEER TEAM, THEY FINISHED 11TH OUT OF 74 AND FIVE IN DIVISION 2 BUT EXTREMELY PROUD OF BOTH JOHNSON AND LAYMAN ALMOST MADE THE CUT.
THEY ALWAYS RELEASE THE SCORES AT DIFFERENT TIME INTERVALS.
THE FIRST RELEASE EACH TIME, ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN THERE AND THEY JUST GOT KNOCKED OUT AT THE VERY END.
I THOUGHT EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO MAKE IT.
BUT VERY PLEASED WITH THAT GROUP, THEY ALWAYS SUPPORT ALL THE OTHER TEAMS. THIS IS THE ONE OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY GET TO DO THEIR OWN THING, SO IT'S PRETTY COOL.
NEXT THING, WE HAVE SPELLING BEES GOING ON AT EACH OF OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES AND AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE UNIFY WITH THAT.
IF YOU'LL FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU'LL SEE THAT SEVERAL SCHOOLS HAVE ALREADY PARTICIPATED.
I KNOW WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW, I THINK AT PFLUGER, HOPEFULLY, THEY'LL HAVE A GOOD CONTEST.
BUT I REALLY LIKED THE FACT THAT NOW WE'RE DOING A UNIFIED HAY'S SPELLING BEE WITH ALL THE WINNERS.
THEN THAT ACTUALLY FEEDS INTO THE AUSTIN REGIONAL ONE AND THEN INTO THE NATIONAL ONE.
I LOVE ALL THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE SPELLING BEES.
IT'S YET ANOTHER WAY TO CONNECT KIDS AND IT HAS AN ACADEMIC BENT TO IT.
WANTED TO ALSO GIVE A SHOUT OUT.
WE HAD ALL STATE MUSICIANS FROM HAYS, JOHNSON, AND LAYMAN IN BOTH CHOIR AND IN BAND.
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ABOUT THAT ONLINE, PLEASE DO SO.
ALSO, OUR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM, JOHNSON IS RANKED IN THE TOP 20 AS IS OUR GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM AT HAYS.
THEY'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HAY'S BOYS ARE NOW STARTING TO GAIN MOMENTUM TO AND THEY KNOCKED OFF LIBERTY HILL THIS PAST WEEK, SO THEY HAVE A GOOD SHOT IF THEY'LL KEEP IT GOING TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? I'M AN OLD BASKETBALL PLAYER AND AN OLD BASKETBALL COACH.
I'VE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS NOW AND I THINK I'VE HAD TWO TEAM MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE.
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE THREE AND SO I'M JUST ECSTATIC.
I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYBODY BECAUSE IT'S NEW FOR ME.
I MEAN, WE'VE HAD FOOTBALL TEAMS MAKE IT, AND OTHER SPORTS MAKE IT, BUT BASKETBALL BEEN LOW KEY.
REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THE PROGRESS THAT WE'RE MAKING.
THEN THE LAST TWO ITEMS I KNOW YOU'RE GETTING TIRED OF ME, VANESSA.
WE HAVE TAXPAYER TUESDAY ON NEXT TUESDAY, THE 24TH AT LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT, WE INVITE DIFFERENT TAXPAYERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE SHOWCASE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT A CAMPUS A MONTH.
THIS MONTH JUST HAPPENS TO BE LAYMAN.
WE GO ON A TOUR FOR THE FIRST 30 MINUTES STARTING AT 11:00.
THEN AT 11:30, WE WILL FEED THE PEOPLE THAT COME.
THEN WE TALK ABOUT JUST DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES AND INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE IN HAYS CISD.
AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE THINGS HAPPENING AT THE PINK DOME IN AUSTIN AND THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS STARTED.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND ABOUT A POTENTIAL BOND ISSUE THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN MAY.
[00:30:02]
WE HAVE BOND PUBLIC FORUMS ON THE SAME NIGHT TO 24TH.IT'LL BE HERE IN THE KUNKEL ROOM AT 6:00, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON THURSDAY, THE 26TH AT LAYMAN ALSO AT 6:00 FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE INPUT AS TO WHAT IS GOING TO MAKE THE BOND PACKAGE FOR THIS UPCOMING MAY.
JUST A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SO JUST WANTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THOSE.
>> AWESOME. LOTS OF THINGS TO BRAG ON AROUND THE DISTRICT. LOVE IT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DR. WRIGHT ON THOSE ITEMS, MRS. ROSCOE?
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PETRIE.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND CAL DAY AT THE PACK WITH MS. SUSIE MITCHELL AND HER TEAM, ORGANIZING A FANTASTIC EVENT AND EXPOSURE FOR OUR STUDENTS TO ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THEY GET IN HIGH SCHOOL.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT, AND I WAS TELLING MS. MITCHELL THIS, IS WE HAD A STUDENT FROM THE PROGRAM FOR BARBARY, AT LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL.
HE ACTUALLY SAID, "THIS PROGRAM CHANGED MY LIFE.
I WAS MAKING REALLY BAD DECISIONS AND THIS CHANGED MY LIFE, THIS OPPORTUNITY.
NOW I'M ACTUALLY WE'RE GRADUATING SENIOR.
MY LIFE IS SO DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROGRAM AND WHAT IT MEANS TO ME AND I FOUND MYSELF RIGHT." HE WAS SUCH A LOVELY STUDENT AND JUST KEPT BANKING AS, AND EVEN THANK TIM SAVOY.
TIM WAS WITH US AND HE THANKED HIM, AND IT WAS JUST LOVELY TO SEE HOW THESE PROGRAMS MAKE SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
YOU'RE RIGHT, DR. WRIGHT, CTE PROGRAMS ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR COMMUNITY, AND ACROSS THE NATION.
JUST HEARING FROM THAT ONE STUDENT AND ALL THE STUDENTS AT THE DIFFERENT BOOTHS WERE JUST SO EXCITED TO SHARE.
IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT.
SUSIE MITCHELL, KEEP INVITING AS WE LOVE IT, YOU'RE DOING SOME GREAT WORK WITH OUR CTE.
WE ARE NUMBER 1 IN THE STATE WITH OUR CTE PROGRAMS, AND THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF DR. WRIGHT AS WELL FOR THAT.
ALSO, THE SPELLING BEE, SUPER EXCITING THAT ARE SPELLING BEES ARE CONTINUING AND INCREASING AND PARTICIPATION.
THANKS TO THE BRAINCHILD OF MS. SULLIVAN AND MEREDITH KELLER, OUR FORMER BOARD MEMBER, MEREDITH KELLER, WHO IS THE QUEEN OF SPELLING BEES AND KNOWS EVERY ROLE.
IT'S EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO BE A JUDGE ON IT.
SO MANY SPELLING BEES THIS YEAR.
I THINK I ALREADY DID FIVE THIS YEAR, AND I GET TO DO ONE TOMORROW WITH MS. RANKL AND MS. PETRIE, AND THE SPELLING BEE EXPERT HERSELF, MEREDITH KELLER.
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. THANK YOU.
>> AWESOME. ANYTHING ELSE? I WILL JUST ADD, THAT, YES, WITH THE CTE CLASSES, I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS NEXT COHORT MOVING UP.
WE'LL HAVE A GPA BASED ON THE CORE FOR SO ANY CTE PROGRAMS THAT THEY SIGN UP FOR AT THE 4.0 GPA.
I KNOW MY [INAUDIBLE] DO AND THE TEAM ARE GETTING THAT WORD OUT TO OUR PARENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW, SIGN UP FOR ALL THE CTE THINGS.
WE HAVE A NEW GPA SYSTEM AND PROCESS.
I AGREE I TOOK A TYPING CLASS, SECRETARY CLASS AS A SENIOR AND GOT MY FIRST JOB AS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL IN AN OFFICE AND GOT MY FIRST LAW FIRM JOB AT 19 BECAUSE OF THE SKILLS THAT I GAINED IN HIGH SCHOOL AT MY VERSION OF CTE BACK THEN.
I LEARNED MORE ON THAT THAN I DID IN ALGEBRA II, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
SORRY, MY ALGEBRA II TEACHERS.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT AND NOW I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ART WE ARE APPLYING FOR AND SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TOWARDS EARNING A TAE, A DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION.
THAT IS OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR.
LUCKILY, JASON IS HERE SO WE CAN NOW HAVE THE BANDWIDTH TO REALLY WORK ON ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.
ALL OF THE ARTS STUDENTS ARE PARTICIPATING.
NOW I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN BASE FOR HIGH-SCHOOL, JUNIOR BASE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND TEAM NOW FOR ELEMENTARY.
WE'RE RAMPING UP THE NUMBER OF KIDS WHO ARE GOING TO BE COMPETING AND THOSE EVENTS, THAT'S A TEA.
ANOTHER EVENT WILL BE HAVING OUR DISTRICT WIDE ART SHOW, FEBRUARY 28TH HERE AT HISTORIC BUDDHA.
THE CONSTRUCTION IS WONDERFUL.
WE'VE HAD ADDED THREE NEW ART ROOMS AND STORAGE ADULTS DRUM, AND TWO NEW ART ROOMS AND STORAGE AT MCCORMICK.
FOR DANCE, WE'VE HAD REALLY SUCCESSFUL DANCE THIS PAST SPRING, IN PARTICULAR AT JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL ROSETTES, WHERE GRAND CHAMPIONS AT THREE DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS.
LAYMAN DID WELL IN THEIR SMALL LEAGUE AND HAYS HIGH SCHOOL DID VERY WELL.
I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE WAY THEY'RE COMPETING.
WE HAVE A NEW DANCE STUDIO COMPLETED, ADD BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL, MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOL AND DANCE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE ALSO OFFER A DANCE MASTERCLASS GIVEN BY BALLET AUSTIN TO ALL MIDDLE-SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH COVID PROTOCOLS.
WE STARTED DURING COVID, THE DANCE CLINICIAN COMES TO EACH OF THE CAMPUSES.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT AND THEN NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, WE WILL HAVE ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE SHOWS AT THE PACK.
FOR THEATER, WE ALREADY HIT SOME HIGHLIGHTS. HERE'S A GOOD ONE.
[00:40:01]
WE JUST COMPLETED THE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL LIGHTING SYSTEM UPGRADE WAS A 2021 BOND FUNDS.IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL. IT'S AMAZING.
WE HAVE MUSICAL THEATER PRODUCTIONS HAPPENING AT EVERY CAMPUS.
WE HAD A ONE AT PLAY CONTESTS FOR MIDDLE-SCHOOL AT THE PACK THIS PAST DECEMBER AND HAYS HIGH SCHOOL HAD 12 NATIONAL ESPIONAGE.
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO STOP THERE AND GO BACK TO THE POWERPOINT.
I BELIEVE I'M TURNING IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE, JASON ADAM.
>> GOOD EVENING. A COUPLE OF MORE CELEBRATIONS IN OUR MUSIC AREAS.
MUSIC BROKEN DOWN ELEMENTARY MUSIC BAND, CHOIR, ORCHESTRA, AND MARIACHI.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST ACCOLADES WE CELEBRATED FOR 2022 WAS NAMM, WHICH IS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC MERCHANTS, A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION.
OUR DISTRICT WAS NAMED BEST COMMUNITIES FOR MUSIC EDUCATION, SO THAT AT ABOUT 17,000 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ABOUT 700 OF THOSE ARE IN THAT AWARDS.
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PERCENTAGE.
A GREAT THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
DR. WRIGHT MENTIONED EARLIER ADD FIVE ALLSTATE STUDENTS.
WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO DATE 293 OF OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS HAVE EARNED ALL DISTRICT HONORS OR GREATER, AND WE STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE AUDITIONS TO COME HERE AND THIS SEMESTER, SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT SUCCESS.
THAT'S ALMOST 20 PERCENT OF OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS HAVE EARNED ALL DISTRICT OR HIGHER.
MARCHING AND CONCERT BANDS, CHOIRS, MARIACHI ENSEMBLES ALL WAY ACROSS OUR SECONDARY PROGRAMS HAVE REALLY STRONG UIL SUPERIOR RATINGS AND FESTIVAL AWARDS.
THEN OF COURSE, OUR JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND FOR THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO THE BIA GRAND NATIONALS IN INDIANAPOLIS AND CAME OUT AS A SEMI-FINALISTS, DID THAT EVENT.
A COUPLE OF OTHER, JUST AS FAR AS OUR DISTRICT-WIDE MUSIC FESTIVALS WERE REALLY PROUD TO SPONSOR A LARGE-SCALE COMMUNITY EVENTS FOR A LOT OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE A FESTIVAL FOR ELEMENTARY CHOIR, OF COURSE, OUR DISTRICT MARCHING BAND FESTIVAL, WHICH PROBABLY GOT TO SEE IN THE FALL.
IT'S AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND PROGRAMS, THEIR DISTRICT MARIACHI FESTIVAL.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISTRICT WIDE JAZZ BAND FESTIVAL LATER THIS SPRING.
I KNOW SOME REWARD OUR FIRST EVER ORCHESTRA FESTIVAL THIS EARLIER THIS STRING FAST BACK IN THE FALL.
THEN WE HAVE DURING THE SUMMER MS. MORENO HEADS-UP A SUMMER CODON CERTIFICATION PROGRAM WHERE WE ALSO HAVE OUR ELEMENTARY ON OR ACQUIRE CAMP AT THE SAME TIME.
REALLY PROUD TO OFFER A LOT OF FOOLED DISTRICT WIDE MUSIC FESTIVAL EVENTS.
>> SOME PEOPLE ARE SO TALL AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SO SHORT.
ON OUR NEXT SLIDE, WE HAVE SOME PACK AND SOME FINE ART CELEBRATIONS.
AT THE PACK, WE HAVE HAD 57 PERCENT INCREASE IN DISTRICT FINE ARTS EVENTS HOSTED AT THE PACK FROM 2018, '19 TO THE PRESENT.
MORE STUDENTS PERFORMING AT THE PACK THERE.
HEY, STUDENTS. THEN OF COURSE WE ADDED OUR WONDERFUL ASSISTANT DIRECTOR HERE, WHICH THEY WILL BE HAPPIER THAN ME ABOUT THAT.
IF YOU GO OVER TO THE LAST COLUMN OVER HERE IT SAYS NUMBER OF FINE ARTS EVENTS, YOU CAN SEE IN 2018, '19, WE HAD 93 EVENTS, BUT THIS YEAR WE ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE 163 EVENTS AND WE KEEP ADDING.
WE CAN FIND A DATE OR SQUISHING OR COLLABORATE ONE EVENT, WE BRING IT OUT ANOTHER SCHOOL, SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WE DON'T MEAN TO LEAVE OUT THE COLOR GUARD, WE HAVE AWARD-WINNING COLOR GUARD PROGRAMS AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AND JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE WE'RE BUILDING ONE FOR LAYMAN.
WE HAVE PLACED AT THE WORLD GUARD INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE TEXAS COLOR GUARD STATE CHAMPIONS WITH JOHNSON IN PARTICULAR.
LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL HAD AN INDOOR DRUM LINE, IT DID VERY WELL AND WENT QUALIFIED FOR STATE.
AT THE PACK WE DID INSTALL A BRAND NEW STAGE FLOOR THIS PAST YEAR, AND WE HELD A SUMMER MUSICAL MATILDA.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, NOT EVERYTHING, BUT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM FINE ARTS AND THEN ENROLLMENTS.
>> RIGHT ONTO THE FINAL SLIDE HERE, THE ENROLLMENTS SLIDE.
THIS IS JUST, AGAIN, SOME GRAND OVERVIEW.
BUT YOU WILL NOTICE A GOOD TREND HERE.
FIRST OF ALL, THIS DATA WAS PULLED FROM TEAMS DATA AND A LOT OF HELP FROM YOLANDA VARGAS IN THE SIS DEPARTMENT.
SHE WAS INTEGRAL IN HELPING TO PULL A LOT OF THIS ENROLLMENT INFORMATION.
THEN MS. MORENO PRESENTED LAST YEAR THE FIRST FOUR COLUMNS OF THIS ENROLLMENT INFORMATION, AND THEN WE ARE ADDING ONTO IT EACH YEAR.
BUT YOU'LL NOTICE IN 2019, '20 AND THEN FALL OF 2019, '20 COVID CAME ALONG AND WE STARTED SEEING, OF COURSE STATEWIDE SOME CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT COURSE IN SCHOOLS RELATED TO THAT.
WE WERE GLAD TO REPORT THIS YEAR WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT TURNAROUND AND BACK TO PRE-COVID NUMBERS IN OUR FINE ARTS ENROLLMENT AND
[00:45:02]
HAVING I THINK SOME STRONG NUMBERS THAT SPEAK TO THEMSELVES.AGAIN, THAT LINK, WHEN YOU'LL SEE THAT SEPARATELY, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT A LITTLE MORE OF A BREAKDOWN WITH THAT BY EACH PROGRAM.
>> IN CLOSING, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY ON BEHALF OF ALL THE FINE ARTS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, THANK YOU TO THE BOARD AND DR. WRIGHT ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE WE HAVE GAINED A LOT IN OUR PROGRAMS, BUT WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
BUT MOST OF ALL, I REALLY APPRECIATE SEEING YOU AT ALL THE EVENTS.
IT IS SO NICE TO GO TO PERFORMANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND SEE EACH OF YOU THERE.
SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR HAYS CISD STUDENTS.
>> THANK YOU, MS. MORENO. THANK YOU, MR. ADAM. GREAT PRESENTATION.
WE WILL STOP THERE AND I'LL SEE IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON OUR FINE ARTS UPTAKE.
MR. VELA, YOU HAVE A KID IN THE BAND OVER THERE AT LAYMAN?
>> I SURE DO AND I HAVE ANOTHER ONE WHO'S THEATER IN CHOIR.
OBVIOUSLY, AS A FINE ARTS FAMILY, I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL DO AS WELL TO GIVE US LEADERSHIP AS A DISTRICT.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT INFORMATION.
LOOK AT THE TOTAL ENROLLMENTS, 19,000, DOES THAT COUNT A STUDENT MORE THAN ONCE OR IS THAT A UNIQUE STUDENT?
>> YEAH. ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ARE SINGLETONS, SECONDARY STUDENTS, YOU WILL HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE DOUBLED.
MAYBE THEY'RE IN BAND, IN CHOIR OR IN THEATER.
THE SECONDARY NUMBERS SOMETIMES ARE DUPLICATE IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT THAT TAKES TWO FINE ARTS.
>> BUT IT'S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY THAT AT LEAST 60-70 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE IN SOME FORM OF FINE ARTS THROUGHOUT THE END FOR PRE-K, ALL THE WAY TO 12.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE EACH OF THE PROGRAMS DOING SO WELL, NOT JUST THE ONES THAT ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART AS A PARENT, BUT JUST THAT ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT WE'RE DOING WELL, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
>> YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, YOU MENTIONED AS GOING TO EVENTS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GO TO YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS AT IT, I SEE Y'ALL TOO.
MR. GIBBS AND MR. MOFFETT, YOU GUYS ARE AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS AND WE APPRECIATE SEEING YOU GUYS AS WELL.
THANK YOU FOR BEING EVERYWHERE, BECAUSE YOU ARE EVERYWHERE.
WE ENJOY COMING TO YOUR EVENT, SO ALL OF YOUR CAMPUSES, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, PLEASE CONTINUE TO INVITE US TO YOUR THEATER PROGRAMS, YOUR BAND, ALL OF IT. WE WANT TO SEE ALL OF IT.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM TO SEND US THE INVITES TO MRS. GLORIA BECAUSE SHE STICKS THEM ON OUR CALENDAR AND IF THEY'RE ON OUR CALENDAR, WE WILL COME, WE LOVE TO COME.
>> RIGHT, I KNOW OF EVERY EVENT THAT'S HAPPENING AT THE PACK AND I INVITE AND REMIND FINE ARTS TEACHERS TO PUT THEIR EVENTS OR CAMPUS EVENTS ON OUR FINE ARTS CALENDAR THAT'S ON THE WEBSITE, LINKED TO OUR FINE ARTS PAGE AND THEN JASON DOES A WEEKLY SOCIAL MEDIA PUSH OUT OF ALL THE FINE ARTS EVENTS HAPPENING THAT WEEK.
YES, WE WILL ENCOURAGE TEACHERS TO KEEP SENDING US A DATE SO THAT WE CAN KEEP GETTING IT OUT THERE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE WE REALLY DO ENJOY ATTENDING ALL OF THEM. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? DR. PEREZ GONZALEZ.
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
I LOVE SEEING KIDS ENGAGED IN FINE ARTS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR STUDENTS IN HAYS, APPRECIATE IT.
>> YES, THANK YOU FOR SENDING THOSE CALENDAR INVITES SO WE CAN ATTEND BECAUSE IF WE KNOW ABOUT IT, WE WILL TRY TO BE THERE.
AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OF US WILL TRY TO BE THERE BECAUSE THERE ARE A MILLION EVENTS GOING ON, SO THANK YOU.
YOU'RE RIGHT THERE AT EVERYTHING, OUR LANDS DUSTY.
BOTH OF YOU, I SEE YOU ALL EVERYWHERE, SO THAT'S GREAT.
I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW YOU ARE PUSHING IT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO ELEMENTARY AND MAKING IT MORE ACADEMIC FOR THEM AS WELL BY THEM.
I KNOW IN ELEMENTARY, RASPBERRY HAS SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF ART PIECES AND HAS TO DO AN ESSAY WITH IT AND REALLY GO THROUGH THAT SUBMISSION PROCESS.
A LOT OF ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ARE HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD BEFORE TO REALLY ARTICULATE AND SHOWCASE THEIR WORK, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT CONNECTION. THANK YOU.
>> THOSE STATE CONTESTS HAVE REAL TIES TO ACADEMICS AND SO WE CAN LINK THAT, THEN THAT REALLY HELPS EVERYBODY. ANYTHING ELSE?
>> WELL, I ALSO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO.
WE HAVE SOME OF THE BEST FINE ARTS PROGRAMS, I THINK IN THE WORLD, AND AS EVIDENCED BY SOME OF THE AWARDS AND RANKINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED SO I THINK YOUR SUPPORT IS FELT AROUND THE DISTRICT.
I HEAR FROM FOLKS THAT THEY APPRECIATE HAVING AN ADVOCATE, WITHOUT YOU I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D HAVE THREE FTES FOR COLOR GUARD AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS, AND IT WAS DESPERATELY NEEDED.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO TO ADVOCATE AND HELP WITH THE BUDGETING.
[00:50:04]
THEY HAVE SOME AUTONOMY WITH THESE PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THEY WANT TO DO ON THEIR CAMPUSES, THAT'S HUGE.THE PACK PIECE HAS BEEN A LITTLE CONTROVERSIAL AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT AREN'T ABLE TO USE THE PACK, AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
SEEING THESE NUMBERS AND SEEING THE FACT THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE USING THE PACK, WE WERE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOME FACILITIES AT THE BOND TO MAYBE RELIEVE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE.
WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS GO, BUT I SUSPECT WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE SPACE FOR MORE PROGRAMS AND PERFORMANCES, OR AT LEAST THAT'S MY HOPE AS THINGS CONTINUE TO GROW.
I'LL JUST SAY IT WHILE THESE COACHES ARE HERE, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WARMS MY HEART MORE THAN TO SEE A FOOTBALL PLAYER IN THE GERMLINE.
THANK YOU ALL COACHES AND FINE ARTS FOR WORKING TOGETHER AND COLLABORATING AND ALLOWING STUDENTS TO PURSUE ALL OF THEIR DREAMS AND DO ALL THE THINGS.
I KNOW THAT'S HARD BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, AND BAND DIRECTORS, YOU NEED THEM ON THE MARCHING FIELD.
BUT I LOVE THIS, DAVID PEARCE'S THE PRINCIPLE OF HAYS, YOU WERE SO GREAT ABOUT THIS.
I KNOW OUR PRINCIPLES SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS DOING MULTIPLE THINGS.
WE'RE IN A COMPETITIVE WORLD, WE'RE IN 5A, 6A DISTRICTS AND NOT ALL SCHOOLS ALLOW FOR THAT.
WHILE YOU ALL ARE ALL IN THE ROOM, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE THAT YOU DO WORK TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE AND ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO DO MORE THAN ONE THING.
>> THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES FIRST LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN THIS MONTH OF RECOGNITION FOR WHAT YOU DO.
WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT. YOU GUYS DO AN AMAZING JOB AS FAR AS ALL THE SUPPORT AND THAT THING, AND I DO GET MY HAIR CUT BY THE BARBER, SO THAT'S GOOD.
>> MOFFETT, PUT THAT MICROPHONE UP A LITTLE BIT SO WE CAN HEAR YOU.
>> THIS IS OUR POWERPOINT. IF YOU GO TO THE SECOND SLIDE, I WANTED TO USE OUR STAFF AND I WANTED TO REDUCE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE AND I TOLD THEM THEY COULDN'T LEAVE TILL I WAS DONE.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO AS FAST AS I CAN AND I APPRECIATE THEM BEING HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.
FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS OUR OFFICE, IT'S GOT ALL HER EMAILS.
DUSTY GIBBS IS MY POWERPOINT GUY.
HE'S THE ONE THAT PUTS ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER FOR US AND HELPS US DO THAT.
THEN I RECOGNIZE THESE LADIES AS THE BRAIN'S HEART AND SOUL OF OUR OPERATIONS.
MELISSA SALAZAR IS OUR ADMIN ASSISTANT AND ATHLETICS.
MICHELLE RICHARDSON, STAND UP.
SHE'S OUR ADMIN ASSISTANT AT LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL, AND SHE DOES AN AMAZING JOB.
SHE'S TEAMED WITH ROSALIE RODRIGUEZ AT JOHNSON, AND ERICA CASTILLO WHO WAS HERE, AND SHE HAD TO GO WATCH A BASKETBALL GAME, SO SHE LEFT AS WELL.
THEN OUR COORDINATORS AT CAMPUS, OUR HIGH SCHOOL COORDINATORS, COACH HOFFMAN IS HERE, AS WELL AS TAYLOR GREEN IS HERE, WHO'S OUR INTERIM COORDINATOR AT LAYMAN AND JOHNSON RESPECTIVELY.
COACH GOD WAS GOING TO BE HERE, BUT HE HAD A FAMILY PERSONAL EMERGENCY THAT HE HAD NOT BE HERE FOR.
THEN I'D LIKE TO READ OFF THE LIST, SO THE OTHER COACHES THAT ARE HERE AND I ASKED HIM TO BE HERE BECAUSE THEY HELPED US COMPILE ALL THIS DATA AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEM FOR THAT.
THE REST OF THE GROUP THIS YEAR, IF YOU'LL STAND UP WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME MIA BRITISH, DALSTON, GIRLS COORDINATOR.
CASSANDRA TREVINO, SIMON, GIRLS COORDINATOR, JONATHAN WILSON, SIMON, BOYS COORDINATOR, ROCKY MODERATO SIMON, ASSISTANT COACH, ARTHUR AREAS BARTON, BOYS COORDINATOR, DAISY SANTOS, BARTON GIRLS COORDINATOR, THOMAS COLLINS, [INAUDIBLE] COORDINATOR, AND I THINK THAT'S IT.
I WANT TO RECOGNIZE DAISY BECAUSE SHE GAVE US THE TEMPLATE FOR ALL OF OUR MIDDLE-SCHOOL DATA.
WE'RE A WORK IN PROGRESS, I'LL TELL YOU THAT, I'LL TELL YOU REMIND YOU THAT PATTY HAS BEEN HERE LONGER THAN ME, SO SHE'S GOT COMPARISON DATA.
[BACKGROUND] I'M JUST TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DATA THAT OUR DATA IS NOT AS GOOD AS FINE ARTS, BUT IT WILL BE EACH YEAR AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.
>> THANK YOU, COACHES, FOR BEING HERE.
>> THEY DON'T OFTEN GET RECOGNIZED PUBLICLY.
THEY CERTAINLY GET SCRUTINIZED PUBLICLY A LOT.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT GOT ON THE RECORD.
IF YOU'LL LOOK, BOARD MEMBERS, WE PROVIDED YOU WITH A SEPARATE PACKET THAT JUST HAD THE DATA THAT'S ON THE POWERPOINT RATHER THAN THE POWERPOINT.
IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE STARTED WITH OUR CELEBRATIONS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT.
WE BREAK UP AN ATHLETIC YEAR INTO FALL SPORTS, WINTER SPORTS, AND SPRING SPORTS.
WE'VE ONLY CONCLUDED FALL SPORTS.
IN TERMS OF ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN IT.
DR. WRIGHT MENTIONED OUR BASKETBALL TEAMS ARE COMPETING FOR DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT AS FAR AS CONCLUSION, THIS IS ALL WE HAVE.
JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT TO YOU.
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT, YOU'VE GOT ALL OUR TEAMS RECORDS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE FOOTBALL TEAMS, WE DIDN'T HAVE IT HIGHLIGHTED, BUT 7TH-GRADE 18, FIRST PLACE.
FIRST PLACE WAS WALLACE, SECOND PLACE WAS BARTON,
[00:55:01]
THIRD PLACE WAS MCCORMICK.AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL THAT TO YOU.
THOSE DIDN'T GET HIGHLIGHTED,8TH-GRADE B: BARTON WAS FIRST PLACE, DAWSON WAS SECOND PLACE, MCCORMICK WAS THIRD PLACE, 8TH GRADE A: DAWSON WAS FIRST PLACE, BARTON WAS SECOND PLACE, AND CHOPPER WAS THIRD PLACE.
THEN 8TH GRADE B TEAM: DAWSON WAS FIRST PLACE, WALLACE WAS SECOND, AND BARTON WAS THIRD PLACE.
THEN IF YOU LOOK OVER AT THE OTHER ONES, THOSE ARE BROKEN DOWN BY HOW THAT FINISHED AND THERE'S A COLOR CODE TO IT AND YOU CAN SEE THAT.
THEN CROSS-COUNTRY, THOSE ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR DISTRICT CROSS-COUNTRY MEET FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS.
IF YOU JUMP DOWN TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THAT'S OUR HIGH-SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT.
THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF OUR FALL SPORTS.
WE TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT AS MANY THINGS AS POSSIBLE, SO I'LL JUST START WITH FOOTBALL.
HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, SIX AND FOUR OVERALL RECORD.
THEY'VE FINISHED SIXTH PLACE IN DISTRICT.
THAT'S SEVEN ACADEMIC ALL-STATE MEMBERS.
THEY ARE RANKED BASED ON THEIR FOUR-YEAR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.
THEIR GRADE POINT AVERAGE FOR ALL FOUR YEARS PLUS THEIR SAT SCORES, ACT SCORE, ALL THE THINGS THEY PUT INTO THAT.
LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL IS 2.8 OVERALL, EIGHTH PLACE IN DISTRICT, TWO ACADEMIC ALL-STATE MEMBERS.
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL IS FOUR AND SIX OVERALL, FIFTH PLACE IN DISTRICT WITH FIVE ACADEMIC ALL-STATE MEMBERS.
THEN YOU JUMP OVER TO VOLLEYBALL.
HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, 25 AND 20 OVERALL, FOURTH PLACE IN DISTRICT MADE THE PLAYOFFS BY DISTRICT QUALIFIERS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO POINT OUT ABOUT VOLLEYBALL IS OUR JOHNSON'S COACH, THOMAS KANE, AND OUR HAYS CODES MARCY LA QUINTA, WERE BOTH THE COACH OF THE YEAR FOR THEIR DISTRICTS.
THAT'S HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR THE NOT FIRST-PLACE TEAM TO WIN THAT AWARD, SO THAT SPEAKS TO WHAT THEY BOTH DID IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS.
LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL WAS EIGHT AND 31 OVERALL, THREE ACADEMIC ALL-STATE MEMBERS.
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL WAS 29, 16 OVERALL, FOURTH PLACE IN DISTRICT BY DISTRICT QUALIFIERS AND SO FORTH.
AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SIT AND READ THIS.
I'M JUST GOING TO HIT SOME HIGH POINTS.
COUPLE OF THINGS I'LL TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF LIKE, WE DON'T STORE ANY DATA FOR LAYMAN.
I MENTIONED THIS ABOUT COACH CODE.
OUR LAYMAN GOLF COACH IS CURRENTLY ON LEAVE WITH THE FAMILY MEDICAL SITUATIONS.
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET ALL THIS DATA BASED ON DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT IF YOU FLIP TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS WHERE WE GET INTO SOME DATA ABOUT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.
WE ASKED ALL OF OUR AND DATA IS COMPLETELY UPDATE.
SOME OF THE SLIDES AREN'T FILLED IN, BUT WE GOT THOSE FILLED IN.
MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE ASKED FOR PASSING RATE IN A-B HONOR ROLL FROM OUR ATHLETIC KIDS.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT WITH US MOVING FORWARD IS MAKING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND THE PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS.
HOPEFULLY, I'LL HAVE COMPARISON DATA TO THE OVERALL SCHOOL RATE IN TERMS OF AS WE MOVE FORWARD, HOW WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, THAT COMPARES EACH CAMPUS, THEIR SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS, SEVENTH GRADE BOYS, EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS, EIGHTH GRADE BOYS.
THEY'RE PASSING RATE, A-HONOR ROLL IS THE FIRST CATEGORY, THEN A-B HONOR ROLL, AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS PASSING RATE.
THEN YOU HAVE A SIMILAR CHART OVER TO THE SIDE FOR HIGH-SCHOOL ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS.
AGAIN, THIS IS BASED ON HOW MANY KIDS PASSED ALL THEIR CLASSES WITH THEIR HONOR ROLLS WERE AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT TO YOU AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO READ IT TO YOU, BUT I WILL TELL YOU IF YOU WANT A SUMMARY OF IT.
KIDS IN ATHLETICS DO BETTER IN ACADEMICS, JUST LIKE KIDS IN FINE ARTS DO BETTER IN ACADEMICS.
JUST LIKE DR. WRIGHT KNOWS 100 PERCENT HAYS MEANS WE WANT EVERY KID TO BE CONNECTED TO SOMETHING SO THAT THEY'VE GOT AN ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES ON CAMPUS.
OUR COACHES HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE HERE FOR.
NEXT SLIDE IS OUR OVERALL PARTICIPATION NUMBERS.
THIS IS PARTICULARLY HIGH SCHOOL NUMBERS.
AT THE TOP WE HAVE A WHOLE ANOTHER SLIDE, THAT'S MIDDLE-SCHOOL NUMBERS.
THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL NUMBERS ARE CURRENT NUMBERS.
BUT WE DID PUT IN THE CURRENT TOTAL MIDDLE-SCHOOL NUMBERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SLIDE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS DATA WAS GATHERED THROUGH OUR COURSE SELECTION PROCESS IN THE SPRING AND OUR TEAM'S INFORMATION.
WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED WORKING ON THIS DATA.
HI SUSAN, DR. WATSON WERE ASKING ABOUT THIS.
YOU GUYS MENTIONED FTES, ABOUT FTES AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD COACHING POSITIONS AND THOSE THINGS.
WE TRY TO GET THIS DATA AS QUICK AS WE COULD.
THEN WHAT I ASKED DUSTY TO DO WAS COMPARE THIS DATA TO WHAT WE WERE GETTING FROM OUR FALL SPORT COACHES IN THEIR END OF SEASON REPORTS, AND THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE I FORGOT TO MENTION.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES WERE ALREADY DOING THAT, THEY WERE PROVIDING AN END OF SEASON REPORT TO THEIR CAMPUS COORDINATOR.
NOW WE'VE ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE THAT TO US.
THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME TO DO THAT.
WE'RE WORKING ON A TEMPLATE SO THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT CLEANER THAN WHAT IT IS AT THIS POINT.
BUT HOPEFULLY, LIKE I SAID, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT CLEANER.
BUT THOSE ARE OUR NUMBERS, AS WE SEE THEM, THOSE STARTED IN THE SPRING.
WE COMPARE THE FALL SPORTS NUMBERS TO THEM AND WE TWEAKED THEM BASED ON WHAT THOSE ACTUAL NUMBERS WERE.
FOR THE FALL SPORTS, WHICH ARE VOLLEYBALL, CROSS-COUNTRY, TEAM TENNIS, AND FOOTBALL, THOSE SPORTS AND WATER POLO WILL ALL HAVE
[01:00:04]
A CURRENT NUMBER OF WHO WAS IN THAT SPORT THIS SEASON.THE REST OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON PROJECTED OR WHO'S IN THE ATHLETIC PERIOD FOR THAT SPORT AT THIS TIME, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE OR NOT.
THEN SOMETHING INTERESTING, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS.
WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS BEFORE THE MEETING, BUT IF YOU'LL NOTICE, IT SAYS THERE'S 30 FEMALE ONLY TEAMS AND 24 MALE TEAMS, AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT NUMBER IS FOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE COATING IN TEAMS FOR CHEER AND MAYBE FOR COLOR GUARD AND MAYBE FOR DANCE.
THOSE ARE CONSIDERED PE AND ATHLETIC IS PE AS WELL.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I GOT TO FIGURE THAT OUT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
WE ARE 100 PERCENT EQUAL IN TERMS OF MALE SPORTS AND FEMALE SPORES.
THERE'S NO INEQUITY AND THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT NUMBER AND WHY THAT CAME UP LIKE THAT.
THEN THE LAST COUPLE OF SLIDES, IF YOU FLIP TO THE NEXT ONE THAT'S MIDDLE-SCHOOL PARTICIPATION NUMBERS.
AGAIN, YOUR NUMBERS ARE COMPLETE.
AGAIN, THIS IS FOR EVERY SPORT AT EVERY MIDDLE-SCHOOL.
YOU'VE GOT CROSS-COUNTRY, YOU'VE GOT FOOTBALL, YOU'VE GOT VOLLEYBALL, YOU'VE GOT GIRLS BASKETBALL, YOU GOT BOYS BASKETBALL.
WE'RE ABLE TO GET PARTICIPATION NUMBERS FOR OUR BASKETBALL PROGRAMS. THEN ON THE BOTTOM OR THE RIGHT OF THAT, YOU HAVE TOTAL ENROLLMENT FOR ATHLETICS CLASS.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST DISTINCTION FROM HIGH SCHOOL, PEOPLE OFTEN GET CONFUSED, BUT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, IT'S ATHLETICS.
YOU PLAY FOOTBALL AND VOLLEYBALL, AND THEN YOU PLAY BASKETBALL, AND THEN YOU RUN TRACK, AND THEN YOU DO SOCCER, AND THEN YOU DO TENNIS.
BUT IT'S ATHLETICS, LIKE YOU'RE JUST IN ATHLETICS.
THEN WHEN YOU GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, YOU SPLIT OFF INTO THOSE 24 DIFFERENT SPORTS.
IT'S A LITTLE DECEIVING IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS PER SPORT AND THAT THING.
NEXT SLIDE IS CURRENT PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS.
I'VE GOT A TON OF THESE. I WANTED TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS TO YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, SPORTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN SEASON HIGH SCHOOL, BASKETBALL, WRESTLING, POWER LIFTING, SOCCER, TENNIS, GOLF, SWIM, AND TRACK HAVE ALL STARTED.
SOFTBALL STARTED LAST FRIDAY, AND BASEBALL STARS THIS FRIDAY.
BECAUSE HOFFMAN AND I WERE LAUGHING BACK HERE FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS OUR WORLD IS TOTAL CHAOS BECAUSE WE HAVE A SOCCER GAME GOING ON, THE BASKETBALL GAME GOING ON, SOFTBALL SCRIM IS GOING ON, AND A BASEBALL PRACTICE GOING ON.
SOMEBODY MIGHT BE SWIMMING AT MOODY CENTER OR MOODY POOL.
LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON IN TERMS OF THAT.
MIDDLE-SCHOOL IS STILL IN BASKETBALL.
WE GOT FOUR WEEKS LEFT IN THAT.
THEN WE'LL TRANSITION TO TRACK.
JOHNSON BOYS BASKETBALL, DR. WRIGHT ALREADY MENTIONED THAT, DOING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL, SNAPPED WESTLAKE 85 GAME WINNING STREAK.
JOHNSON GIRLS TIED LAKE TRAVIS LAST WEEK, I WAS AT THAT GAME.
THEY WERE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
LAYMAN WRESTLING WON THE BATTLE OF THE DISTRICT AND THE WRESTLING MEET LAST WEEK.
HAYES GIRLS BASKETBALL, FIRST-PLACE IN DISTRICT. HE MENTIONED THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER SEEN LIBERTY HILL LOSE TWICE ON VARSITY IN THE SAME NIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS, AND HAYS HIGH SCHOOL DO THAT LAST WEEK.
THAT WAS A BIG DEAL. THEN SUCCESSFUL DISTRICT POWER LIFTING MATE WAS HELD IN LAYMAN AND WE'VE GOT MORE OF THOSE COMING.
DR. WRIGHT DIDN'T MENTION SHEAR. I WENT TO CHEER.
IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ME NEXT YEAR, I'LL BE HAPPY TO BRING YOU ALONG.
IT WAS AWESOME. THAT IS AN AMAZING COMPETITION.
THEY STACKED IT ON TOP OF THE FORT WORTH STOCK SHOW, LIVESTOCK SHOW AND RODEO PARADE OR WHATEVER THEY CALL THAT, THEIR TRAIL RIDE.
THEN ACTUALLY T-BONE RIGHT INTO THEIR CONVENTION CENTER.
YOU HAD ALL THESE CHEER BOSSES AND ALL THIS ATHLETIC STUFF GOING ON AND THEY HAD THAT GOING ON.
IT WAS CRAZY, YOU KNOW, WHERE TO PARK.
LAYMAN FINISHED 47 OUT OF 73, EXCUSE ME.
JOHNSON FINISHED 23RD OUT OF 73.
THEY WERE BOTH JUST OUT AND IMPROVED ON PREVIOUS YEARS.
OTHER THINGS WE'VE CELEBRATED, AND WE STARTED NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT AT ALL THREE CAMPUSES.
THIS PAST YEAR, WE HOSTED 15 REGULAR SEASON FOOTBALL GAMES, THREE PLAYOFF FOOTBALL GAMES, THREE VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFF GAMES, AND WE WERE ASKED BY UIL RECENTLY TO HOST THE 2A BOYS AND GIRLS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND COACH HOFFMAN VOLUNTEER JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL TO DO THAT.
SO ON FEBRUARY 24TH AND 25TH WILL HOST 2A GIRLS' BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND THEN THE NEXT WEEK, MARCH 3RD AND 4TH, I THINK, WILL HOST THE BOYS' 2A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS.
UIL ASK US TO DO THAT AND WE WERE READY TO GO AND SHOW OFF OUR FACILITIES AND DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
NEXT SLIDE IS A PROJECTION OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE SINCE OUR OFFICE WAS ESTABLISHED.
WE WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS.
WE'RE STILL IN ASSESSMENT MODE.
THE OTHER DAY WE WERE MEETING WITH DR. MEDINA AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS HR PROCESSES AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE'D BEEN AT 18 MONTHS AND HE HAD GOTTEN THOSE AND I WAS LIKE 18 MONTHS MAYBE I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME BEFORE I GET ALL THIS FIXED.
[LAUGHTER] NOW, WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AND WHAT I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU IS WE'RE STILL IN ASSESSMENT MODE AND SUPPORT MODE.
OUR BIGGEST THING OUT OF OUR OFFICE IS TO ASSESS WHAT WE DO, HOW WE DO IT, WHAT WE DO WELL, WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER, AND THEN MAINLY SUPPORT OUR COACHES.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE AND AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL THIS TO YOU, BUT WE CREATED THE POSITION OF ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.
[01:05:01]
I WAS HERE [LAUGHTER] ON APRIL 18TH I THINK, AND YOU ALL HAD APPROVED AND ASSISTANT A-D THE WEEK BEFORE THAT THAT I DON'T THINK I KNEW ABOUT AT THAT POINT OR MAYBE I DID OR MAYBE I DIDN'T.I DON'T KNOW, BUT THEN THAT WAS APPROVED AND THEN WE STARTED HIRING AND BY THE TIME I STARTED WORKING, THERE WERE LIKE 55 APPLICANTS FOR THAT JOB.
IT WAS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE DEAL AND WE'RE BLESSED TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD ONE.
HE'S DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB AND HE MAKES US LOOK REALLY GOOD.
ORGANIZED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL COACHES ALTOGETHER, WHICH I THINK IT WAS A BIG THING.
CERTAINLY THEY'RE DOING THAT ON THEIR CAMPUSES AND ALL THAT, BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AND WE HAD OUR SAFETY CHIEF TALK ABOUT THAT.
WE HAD OUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR, WE HAD OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED, SO WE ALL GOT TO WORK ON THAT.
WE EXPANDED OUR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TRAINING.
TWO OF OUR CAMPUSES, WE'RE DOING IT.
WE EXPANDED IT TO OUR OTHER HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AND THEN TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
WE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL STIPENDS.
WE ADDED NEW WINDSCREENS IN ALL OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOW IN PLACE AND THAT WAS WORKING WITH MAX AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.
WE GOT PAY APPROVED FOR TRAINING FOR CTLS FOR OUR COACHES, WHICH IS RETENTION RECRUITMENT PIECE THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE WORKS, BUT WE HELPED PUSH THAT THROUGH.
WE SECURED SATELLITE BUS LOCATIONS FOR ALL OF OUR COACHES.
YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES 45 MINUTES, DAISY SENT US CAN ATTEST THIS 45 MINUTES IF YOU GO FROM WHERE SHE LIVES AND WHERE BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL IS OUT TO YULEN AND BACK WITH A BUS, IT'S ABOUT 90 MINUTES ROUND TRIP.
WE'VE GOT THOSE BUSES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS SO THEY CAN DO THAT.
WE BRANDED THE STADIUM FOR EACH OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
WE COORDINATED AB TEACHERS FOR THE OPERATION OF OUR NEW SCOREBOARD, CERTAINLY THAT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS.
WE WENT THROUGH THAT TOGETHER AS WE WENT THROUGH THE SEASON.
CENTRALIZED PAY FOR HUDDLE AND RANK ONE, WHICH ARE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY USES AND SO WE WERE PAYING FOR IT DIFFERENTLY ON EACH CAMPUSES AND SO WE CENTRALIZE THAT AND HELP THEM WORK ON THAT.
RECOGNIZE OUR COACHES THE WEEK THROUGHOUT.
BOB SHELTON, COAST OF THE WEEK AWARD THAT SOME OF THOSE THINGS HUGE IMPACT AND THEN THINGS THAT ARE STILL IN PROCESS OR ARE ON THAT LAST LIST.
AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ THOSE TO YOU, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINGS GOING ON IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
TICKET PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WERE ON THE LIST.
ALL SPORTS PASSES, SEASON PASSES, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT AND THEN I MENTIONED BUILDING A TEMPLATE TO NORMALIZE THIS REPORTING FOR YOU AND THEN DR. RAJ SHOWED THE SALARY COMPARISON EXTRA I HOPE TO HAVE A STIPEND COMPARISON OF OTHER DISTRICTS.
THEN I HOPE TO ALSO ADD SOME CTE CLASSES FOR COACHING AND OFFICIATING.
THAT'S AN INITIATIVE THAT THESEA IS WORKING ON THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OR THROUGH TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY TO DEVELOP HIGH-SCHOOL-LEVEL COACHES THAT WANT TO BE TEACHERS AS WELL.
WE'RE HOPING THAT TASO ASSOCIATIONS HAVE ALSO ASKED US TO LOOK AT TRAINING OFFICIALS BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF OFFICIALS, SO WE THINK WE CAN MAYBE GET CTE CREDIT FOR THAT.
THEN LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR GOALS.
JESUS TOLD ME SIX IS TOO MANY, BUT AS I LOOKED AT WHAT WE HAD THERE NOT IN THERE. I DIDN'T PUT THEM IN THERE.
THEY'RE IN OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT WHICH YOU'VE ALREADY HAD ACCESS TO, BUT INCREASED PARTICIPATION LEVEL AND I'LL PUT A NUMBER ON IT.
WE WANT TO GO UP FOUR PERCENT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS AND WE'VE CRUNCHED THOSE NUMBERS LIKE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF KIDS IN HIGHSCHOOL OR IN ATHLETICS AND WHAT PERCENTAGE IS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE WANT TO GO UP BY FOUR PERCENT NEXT YEAR FOR SURE, NORMALIZE OUR SYSTEMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT THROUGH BETTER COMMUNICATION, INCREASE AND IMPROVE FINANCIAL EQUITY THROUGH OUR FACILITIES.
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH MBLC CONNECT AND IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH THE ATHLETIC OFFICE AND JESUS MENTIONED THAT THERE'S VISIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY AND I THINK OUR COACHES WOULD ATTEST TO THAT, RECRUIT AND RETAIN QUALITY TEACHERS AND COACHES OBVIOUSLY AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS USE DATA ANALYSIS AS WE'RE SHARING.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS.
I WANT TO LET THESE GUYS GET OUT OF HERE. [LAUGHTER]
>> THANK YOU. I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD PRESENTATION COMPARED TO THE ONE WE GOT LAST YEAR ON THIS.
>> WE HAVE QUESTIONS FROM OUR TEAM.
I'M GOING TO START HERE WITH MR. MCMANUS.
>> THANK YOU. NOT REALLY A QUESTION SO MUCH AS JUST TO SAY THAT AFTER, THIS BOARD TALKS A LOT ABOUT FUNDING THE THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR STUDENTS AND I THINK THAT HEARING FROM CTE AND FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS, I THINK IT'S EVIDENT THAT STUDENTS ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST AND WHAT THE BOARD WANTS.
BUT THEN TO HEAR IT EXECUTED SUCCESSFULLY BY THESE WONDERFUL TEAMS, I THINK IT'S JUST MEANINGFUL.
I WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT REGARDLESS OF THE PATH THAT YOUR STUDENT TAKES YOU IN REALLY GOOD HANDS.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO JUST WHAT WE'RE ABOUT AS A BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION AND A COMMUNITY AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS LANCE, PATTY, SUZZY ARE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CARE THAT YOU GIVE TO OUR STUDENTS.
I KNOW THAT I PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
I KNOW THIS BOARD DOES AS WELL, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THE TEAM OF COURSE.
ABSOLUTELY. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. MCMANUS, ANYONE ELSE OVER HERE, MS. ROSCOE?
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING SO RESPONSIVE.
I KNOW YOU'RE ALWAYS RESPONSIVE TO QUESTIONS AND YOU ALL ARE ALWAYS WORKING HARD AT ALL THE GAMES THAT WE SEE YOU AT.
[01:10:01]
YOU'RE ALWAYS OUT THERE AND TRYING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER AND KEEPING STUDENTS IN MIND, AND THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.THANK YOU TO OUR FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.
THEY'RE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB. THANK YOU.
>> ANYONE ELSE? MR. [INAUDIBLE]?
>> COACH BUFFETT AND EVERYBODY AGAIN. THANK YOU.
AS IT'S BEEN STATED WITH CTE, WITH FINE ARTS, WITH ATHLETICS, STUDENTS ARE ENGAGED AND WHEN THEY'RE DOING THESE THINGS, ARE LEARNING HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE, HOW TO BE PART OF A TEAM, HOW TO PUT IN WORK ETHIC, AND SEE THE PAYOUT, WHETHER THE PAYOFF, WHETHER IT'S A PLAYOFF OR NOT, BUT WE'LL GET THERE.
DR. WRIGHT WITH THOSE BASKETBALL TEAMS. I WANT TO SEE US HAVE OPEN GYM, SO I WANT TO SEE US HAVE ALL THE CAMPS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND SEE FOR OUR STUDENTS.
NOT TRYING TO ADD MORE TO ANYBODY'S PLATE, BUT IT'S JUST THE MORE INVOLVED THAT OUR KIDS ARE, THE MORE PRODUCTIVE THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM, AND ALSO THE LESS OPPORTUNITY FOR MISCHIEF OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.
ANYWAYS, THAT'S MY TAKE. THANK YOU.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND PRESENTATION THAT THEY BLEW OUT OF THE WATER COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.
[LAUGHTER] I'VE REQUESTED A LOT OF INFORMATION YOU AND I HAVE TALKED QUITE A BIT.
PARTICULARLY AND I WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD AND SAY THIS AND I KNOW THAT YOU AND MR. GIBBS ARE WORKING SO HARD IN YOUR TEAM AND TRYING TO COMPACT ALL OF THIS.
BUT THE '22 THE '23 BUDGET OF THE CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS, LOOKING AT THOSE COMPARED TO NUMBERS, THEY WERE NOT ALLOCATED CORRECTLY.
I KNOW IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
THAT WAS WAY BEFORE YOU, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORKING REALLY HARD AND YOUR TEAM IS REALLY WORKING HARD TO GET THAT BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT OUR CAMPUSES LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS ATHLETES GO.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE BECAUSE IT IS A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT I HAVE ASKED AND THAT IS INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE HAD TO GO PICK APART IN DIFFERENT PLACES TO PUT TOGETHER AND IT'S A LOT.
I THANK YOU. WE'VE NEEDED YOU GUYS FOR A LONG TIME, ALL OF YOU.
LIKE I SAID, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP FOR OUR STUDENTS.
ALL OF THE EVENTS, YOUR FEEDER PATTERNS, WHAT YOU GUYS ARE WORKING ON WITH THE HIGH SCHOOLS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ELEMENTARIES.
THAT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP AND THE COACHES AND THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AT THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE MAKING THAT HAPPEN, PUTTING THOSE KIDS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND THE ELEMENTARIES IS HUGE.
CONTINUE TO DO THAT, GET ALL OF THEM AT ALL THE CAMPUSES BECAUSE WHEN THEY SEE THOSE OLDER KIDS, THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE JUST LIKE THOSE KIDS.
THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE IN BAND.
THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE IN THEATER, THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO BE ON FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL TEAM, WHATEVER.
AS LONG AS WE'RE CONTINUING TO SHOW THEM THAT AND BE A FACE FOR THEM, THEN WE WILL CONTINUE TO ATTRACT THEM.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO WORK HARD ON THAT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB.
ALSO, THE NEW REQUIREMENT THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE TO GRADUATE FOR SERVICE HOURS.
I KNOW THAT OUR COACHES ARE GOING TO BE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO HAVE HELP WITH CONCESSIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE STUDENTS HELPING WITH CONCESSION.
IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. AGAIN, JUST THANK YOU.
THE CAMPUS RECOGNITIONS ARE AMAZING.
YOU GUYS, THE COACHES, WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, HIGHLIGHTING THEM EVERY WEEK.
THAT'S GREAT. JUST THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ALL OF YOU. IT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> I GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS. HEY, WHEN DR. WRIGHT CAME TO US AND SAID WE NEEDED AN AD AND A FINE ARTS DIRECTOR, I THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT? HE SAYS HE'S DOING THIS, HE'S FINE. THEY DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
I HAD NO IDEA HOW CRAZY THIS WAS AND THIS WAS A TRUE TESTAMENT OF THIS TEAM TRUSTING DR. WRIGHT'S VISION FOR WHAT THESE DEPARTMENTS AND THESE PROGRAMS NEEDED.
THEN WHEN HE CAME TO US AND SAID WE NEED AN ASSISTANT AD AND AN ASSISTANT FINE ARTS, I WAS LIKE, HE'S CRAZY AGAIN.
IT TURNS OUT YOU GUYS WERE DROWNING.
I'M LOOKING MORE AT PATTY BECAUSE YOU HAD THE BENEFIT OF BASICALLY COMING ALONG WHEN COACH GIBBS GOT HERE.
IT IS SO MUCH AND BASED ON THE NUMBERS, WHAT DO WE THINK THE PERCENTAGES OF STUDENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN EITHER ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS, WE THINK 60 PERCENT, 70 PERCENT OF 22,000 STUDENTS.
>> PROBABLY CLOSER TO 80, I WOULD GUESS BECAUSE HER NUMBERS ARE WAY DOWN.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO ADD AS WELL.
>> WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO PAD YOUR NUMBERS BECAUSE THAT PROBABLY HELPS YOU, BUT YES, IT'S A LOT OF KIDS FOR SURE.
WHAT I LOVE MOST AND THIS WAS ON YOUR REPORT, YOU AND PATTY GET ALONG REALLY WELL.
THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP TOO IN OUR FACILITIES WITH WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED FOR FINE ARTS OR ORTHOTICS.
[01:15:04]
IT COULD EASILY BE CONTENTIOUS AND COMPETITIVE.BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE FORMED SUCH A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP, IT'S NOT.
IT'S BEEN GREAT AND YOU WORK IT OUT AND YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
I WANT TO JUST APPLAUD THOSE EFFORTS AND ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE THAT AND I SEE IT ON HERE.
ALSO CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH FINE ARTS TO SERVICE ALL STUDENTS EXTRA CURRICULAR NEEDS.
THAT TELLS ME A LOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND HOW YOU CARE ABOUT KIDS.
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE ARE KIDS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING TERRITORIAL AND WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY IF THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, I HAVE A SUGGESTION.
I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I SEE THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO D1 SCHOOLS.
WE'VE HAD SOME PRETTY AMAZING ONES THIS YEAR.
I'M GOING TO CALL OUT SYDNEY KINESIN, WHO'S GOING TO OU, WHICH I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT.
BUT OU NONETHELESS ON CROSS-COUNTRY SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL AND I'M SURE THERE ARE TONS MORE, BUT I'M FRIENDS WITH HER MOM AND SO I SEE ALL HER FACEBOOK STUFF.
WE COULD GET SOME HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT OUR D1 COMMITS, GIRLS AND BOYS AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. SAME WITH FINE ART.
I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS THAT GET DANCE SCHOLARSHIPS AND THEATER SCHOLARSHIPS.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD DATA TO SEE AS A BOARD, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT INSTEAD OF JUST LIKE THE ANECDOTAL SIGNING DAY POSTS THAT WE SEE.
THAT'S MY SUGGESTION AT THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
ALSO FINALLY, I ENJOYED SO MUCH BEING AT THAT GAME WHERE WE BEAT WESTLAKE.
I'VE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY SINCE 2005.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER HAD SO MUCH HAYS CISD PRIDE AS I DID THAT DAY WHEN WE BEAT WESTLAKE IT WAS LIKE 72 TO 42.
WE DIDN'T JUST BEAT THEM, WE REALLY TOOK IT TO THEM.
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING AND ALL THE THINGS.
BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY, WELL, JUST COUNT THOSE AS LOSSES LIKE TRAVIS AND WESTLAKE.
NO. WE'VE GOT AMAZING STUDENT TALENT HERE.
I'M SURE WE'VE BEAT THEM BEFORE, BUT I HAPPEN TO BE PRESENT FOR THAT ONE.
DID YOU EVER BEAT WESTLAKE WHEN YOU'VE BEEN HERE?
>> NO. MR. MCMANUS HAS BEEN AROUND A LOT LONGER THAN ME.
HEY, MR. VELA WAS THIS WIND SLATS AND THE TENNIS COURTS YOU'RE DOING OVER HERE?
>> YEAH. THAT'S ONE OF THE ONGOING PROJECTS THAT I KNOW WE HAVE THE BIG TOURNAMENT THAT'S COMING UP IN TWO MONTHS.
>> THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON.
>> OKAY. [OVERLAPPING] YOU SAID THIS IS COMPLETED.
>> THAT'S COACH HOFFMAN'S DEAL.
COACH HOFFMAN CALLED ME THIS SUMMER AND ASKED ME ABOUT WHAT OUR PLAN FOR WIND SCREENS WERE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT OUR PLAN WAS AND SO I HAD TO INVESTIGATE AND I WORKED WITH MAX AND THOSE WERE FOR MIDDLE-SCHOOL TENNIS COURTS.
WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE THE FUNDING THROUGH OUR OFFICE AND IT'S YOUR MAX OFFICE TO PUT NEW WINS SLATS, THEY'RE NOT WIND SCREENS BECAUSE THE WIND SCREENS TYPICALLY ARE GONE IN THREE YEARS.
THESE WE HOPE WILL LAST 9-10 YEARS BECAUSE PERMANENT PLASTIC.
EACH MIDDLE-SCHOOL NOW HAS THAT IN THEIR SCHOOL COLORS.
THAT WAS BECAUSE HOFFMAN DEAL.
MR. VELA DEAL IS THE BOND STUFF THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE AT LAYMAN TO ADD TO COURTS TO IT.
THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE'RE ADDING THOSE COURTS, WE'RE FIXING THE WIND SCREENS, WE'RE MAKING SURE THERE'S PLENTY OF SHADE.
>> PEOPLE CAN WATCH WITHOUT DOING.
>> WE'RE PUTTING IN SHADE BENCHES FOR ALL THREE CAMPUSES SO THAT THE ATHLETES HAVE A PLACE TO SIT DOWN AND THEY HAVE A COVERED.
AGAIN, THAT WAS COACH HOFFMAN'S STAFFS IDEA.
THEY SAID THAT TO US WHEN THEY WERE ASKING ABOUT THINGS THEY NEEDED FOR THEIR TENNIS COURTS, BUT WE EXPANDED IT TO THE REST OF THE DISTRICT.
THOSE ARE THE TWO DISTINCTIONS.
I AM NOT GOING TO PROMISE, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE BEFORE THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT.
>> I DIDN'T MEAN TO PROMOTE CROSSTALK, BUT I SAW THAT AND I THOUGHT OF MR. VELA.
FINAL THING, I LOVE THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS BOB SHELTON, COACH OF THE WEEK THING.
DR. WRIGHT HAS HIS SUPERINTENDENT COIN OF EXCELLENCE, YOU'VE THIS COACH OF THE WEEK THING.
I LOVE WHEN WE CAN RECOGNIZE OUR STAFF, SO BRAVO TO YOU FOR DOING THAT.
I'M SURE THAT'S A LOT TO KEEP UP WITH, BUT THAT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT AS WELL.
>> ANYTHING ELSE, TEAM? YEAH. MRS. OROSCO.
>> I FORGOT TO SAY HOW GREAT IT WAS TO SEE YOUR LITTLE SHOW THAT DR. WRIGHT AND YOU DID WITH COMMISSIONER JONES, [LAUGHTER] THE PRE SHOW AND PICKING THE WINNER AND LOSER.
YOU NEED TO CONTINUE ITS GREAT IDEA.
DR. WRIGHT, YOU ALL DID A FABULOUS JOB WITH THAT. CONGRATS ON THAT.
[01:20:03]
>> YEAH. I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT.
THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL WITH THAT SCOREBOARD AND WE SEE IT AT OTHER WHEN WE GO TO OTHER FACILITIES. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO STUDY OUR STADIUM MANAGER, DOUG AGNEW, MIGHT DISAGREE WITH YOU.
I'D SAY GET THE STUDENTS INVOLVED.
THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THAT, VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE APPROVED AND WE LOVE IT.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN SEEING THAT.
ANYTHING ELSE? HEY, GREAT JOB.
>>THANK YOU, MS. MARINA. THANK EVERYBODY.
[APPLAUSE] HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES.
[BACKGROUND] WE ARE BACK IN OPEN SESSION, IT'S 8:19 PM.
WE HAVE MOVED ON TEAM TO CONSENT AGENDA,
[L. CONSENT AGENDA]
STARTING ON PAGE 28 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET.I'LL GO THROUGH THESE INDIVIDUALLY AND YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ME TO PULL AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.
MR. UNCLE, YOU HAVE ONE TO PULL FOR DISCUSSION? OKAY, PERFECT.
WHICH ONE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
>> L3D, MAX CLEAVER, AND THAT IS OUR AIR PURIFIERS FOR DAHLSTROM AND MCCORMICK MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOR OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION AREAS.
THIS IS ON PAGE 46 OF YOUR PACKET.
TAKE IT AWAY MS. BRONCO, WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
>> MR. CLEAVER, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IN THE FUTURE CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE GMP MOVING FORWARD?
>> YES MA'AM. WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THAT NOW.
>> YES, WE CAN. THEY'RE THE HANGING HEIGHT.
>> AS WE'RE KIND OF RUNNING INTO A LITTLE ISSUE WITH THE HANGING HEIGHT AT HOW FAR THEY STICK OFF THE WALL, SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT INCORPORATED INTO THE SPECS BUT IF IT'S THE THING WHERE WE CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE IT PROTRUDES TOO FAR, WE'LL PROBABLY JUST HAVE TO HANG THEM OURSELVES.
>> OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. VANESSA.
>> GOOD QUESTION. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SLIDE? MR. CLEAVER IS HERE? NEXT UP WE HAVE 4A.
THIS IS OUR ELECTION SERVICES CONTRACTS AND JOINT ELECTION AGREEMENTS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? GREAT, WE'LL BE PREPARED TO VOTE NEXT WEEK.
NEXT UP, THIS IS A LIST OF ACTION ITEMS. WE'LL TAKE ACTION NEXT WEEK ON THESE ITEMS. I'LL MOVE TO M2.
[M.2. Consideration and possible adoption of the amended 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 Hays CISD Academic Calendars]
THIS IS CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED ACADEMIC CALENDAR.THIS IS ON PAGE 91 OF YOUR PACKET AND MR. SAVOY IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE JUST TWO MINOR TWEAKS THAT WERE OUTLINED IN THE TRANSMITTAL.
>> I'M GOING TO GET THERE REALLY FAST.
DR. WRIGHT WE'RE HEARING IN THE COMMUNITY MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE 2024/2025 CALENDAR ABOUT A FOUR-DAY WEEK.
IS THIS A RUMOR? IS THIS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN? IS IT HAPPENING NEXT YEAR? IS IT HAPPENING THE NEXT YEAR AFTER THAT? DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THE RUMOR MILL OF A FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK?
>> FOR SURE. LET ME GIVE YOU THE HISTORY BEHIND THE FOUR-DAY PROPOSAL.
SO MAX CLEAVER AND DR. MEDINA AND I MET WITH THE TRANSPORTATION LEADERSHIP COUNCIL AND IT WAS OUR BUS DRIVERS THAT FIRST RECOMMENDED THAT WE GO TO A FOUR-DAY WEEK SO THAT THEY COULD RUN ALL THE ROUTES MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND THEN BE OPEN TO DRIVE ALL THE EXTRACURRICULAR ROUTES ON FRIDAYS.
THEY PROPOSED IT, AND THEN THE NEXT MONTH AT OUR TEACHER ORG REP MEETING, THE TEACHER ORG REPS CAME FORWARD AND SAID, BECAUSE OF THE TEACHER SHORTAGE ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE NATION WE REALLY THANK FOR MENTAL HEALTH, FOR RECRUITMENT, AND RETENTION THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER A FOUR-DAY WEEK.
I SAID, OKAY, WE'LL TAKE IT UNDER ADVISEMENT AND MOVE FORWARD.
I MET WITH THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HISTORICALLY WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS THE CALENDAR APPROVAL PROCESS AND HOW WE BUNDLE OUR CALENDARS
[01:25:03]
IN TWO-YEAR INTERVALS SO THAT EVERY BIENNIUM WEEK WE COME UP WITH TWO-YEAR BATCH OF CALENDARS.WHEN WE STARTED STUDYING THIS, WE FOUND THAT IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY LOOK AT OUR DISTRICT OF INNOVATION STATUS WHICH THE NEXT FIVE-YEAR FULL PROCESS IS WE NEED TO HAVE IT APPROVED ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER OF 2023.
IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT A POTENTIAL FOUR DAY WEEK, WE REALLY NEED TO GET INPUT FROM OUR PARENTS, FROM OUR COMMUNITY, FROM OUR TEACHING STAFF, AND THEN WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHICH LAWS THAT WE NEED TO BE EXEMPTED FROM SO THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION FUNDING BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT NOW FUNDED ON MILEAGE.
IF YOU TAKE A DAY OUT OF THE WEEK YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF YOUR FUNDING, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO SEE IF WE CAN BE EXEMPT FROM THAT.
IF THERE'S AN AVERAGE OR IF WHEN YOU COMPARE FUEL USAGE TO THE LAST DAY, WILL THAT TAKE CARE OF ITSELF? THAT'S ONE COMPONENT.
THEN CTE FUNDING FOR EXAMPLE IS BASED ON CONTACT HOURS, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE BY REMOVING ONE DAY WHAT WILL THAT MEAN TO OUR CTE PROGRAM INTO OUR FUNDING FOR CTE.
WE FOUND THAT OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE DOING THIS ARE PUTTING IT IN THEIR DISTRICT OF INNOVATION, AND THERE'S A WHOLE HARMLESS PROVISION BUT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DOI PROCESS IN ORDER TO EXEMPT YOURSELF FROM IT.
ANOTHER ONE IS IN TEXAS EDUCATION CODE TEACHERS ARE TO WORK 187 DAYS WHILE THE DISTRICTS THAT HAVE GONE TO A FOUR-DAY WEEK AND THERE ARE ONLY 41 RIGHT NOW IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OUT OF WHAT IS IT? ESPERANZA 1,200 PLUS.
MOST OF THEM ARE REALLY SMALL.
THE LARGEST ONE IS MINERAL WELLS BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE 600-2,500 STUDENTS, AND SO WE WOULD BE ONE OF THE LARGEST DISTRICTS TO DO THIS.
WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING LOGISTICALLY.
WHAT I TOLD THE THE DLT LAST THURSDAY WAS THAT I WANT TO FORM A FOUR-DAY TASK-FORCE AND LOOK AT THIS TO DEVELOP THE NEXT STEPS SO THAT WE WORK WITH MR. SAVOY AND THEN THE DLT WHO IS OUR CALENDAR CREATION COMMITTEE IN CONJUNCTION WITH DOI AND BE ABLE TO BRING YOU GUYS A RECOMMENDATION NEXT FALL FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS OF CALENDAR.
WE'RE INTENTLY STUDYING THIS, WE'RE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY, WE'RE LISTENING, BUT WE JUST DON'T WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF MISSTEPS AND JUMP INTO SOMETHING TOO QUICKLY.
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THE FOUR-DAY.
>> THANKS DR. WRIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON? NEXT STEP WE HAVE OUR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF
[M.3. Consideration and possible adoption of the election order for the May 6, 2023 trustee election]
ELECTION ORDER FOR OUR TRUSTEE ELECTION ON PAGE 97.ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? OKAY, PERFECT.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR SECOND READING OF POLICY,
[M.4. Second Reading and possible adoption of revisions to TASB Policy DHE(LOCAL)]
DHE LOCAL ON PAGE 102.DR. MEDINA IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT.
AGAIN, THIS IS OUR SECOND READING OF THIS ITEM.
I'LL TAKE IT FROM THAT AWKWARD SILENCE, WE CAN MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE.
[M.5. Consideration and possible approval of the 2021 Bond purchase of Science Lab Equipment for Hays High School]
THIS IS EXCITING. NUMBER 5, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE 2021 BOND PURCHASE OF SCIENCE LAB EQUIPMENT FOR HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.THIS IS ON PAGE 106 AND I WAS HAPPY TO SEE WE'VE GOTTEN INPUT FROM OUR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT AND FROM ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT'LL BE IMPACTED BY THIS AMAZING SCIENCE LAB.
MR. ROSCOE, QUESTION? LET'S SEE.
WHO DO WE HAVE HERE? MR. CLEAVER, YOU'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS?
>> I DON'T NEED MR. CLEAVER, I JUST HAD A QUESTION FOR DR. WRIGHT OR NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION.
I KNOW DR. WRIGHT AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS ALREADY.
WE DID HEAR FROM SOME SCIENCE TEACHERS THAT FELT THERE WERE SOME ITEMS THAT WERE LEFT OUT.
I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING A LIST OF SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. I'VE TALKED TO MR. DIO AND THEY'RE GOING TO WORK BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT POSTING OF THIS AGENDA TO REALLY TWEAK THIS LIST BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED AND SOME THINGS THAT ARE NO LONGER OPTIONAL OR THROUGH THIS VENDOR.
[01:30:01]
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE INPUTS SO THAT WE CAN GET THEM WHAT THEY NEED.THIS IS NOT QUITE FINISHED, BUT IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT WE'LL BE FINISHED SOON.
>> THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. PERFECT. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO LEAN ON OUR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT TEAM FOR THAT INFO.
NEXT UP WE HAVE OUR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL
[M.6. Consideration and possible approval of Athletic Locker Replacement at Dahlstrom Middle School]
OF ATHLETIC LOCKER REPLACEMENT AT DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL.I DON'T SEE COACH MOFFITT HERE.
BUT I'M SURE MR. CLEAVER CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE DID SEE TEAM HAVE A STUDY OF WHAT WAS NEEDED IN THE DISTRICT AND WHICH CAMPUSES HAD THE MOST BROKEN LOCKERS.
DAHLSTROM CERTAINLY LOOKED LIKE TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST [INAUDIBLE].
YES, THIS IS COMING OUT OF 2021 BOND FUNDS.
>> YEAH. I SUBMITTED THIS QUESTION, BUT MRS. OROSCO, IF YOU WILL CAPTURE THIS ALSO, WHAT WE HAD BEEN GIVEN, THE HAYS CISD LOCKER ROOM UPDATE, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WERE MISSING FROM THAT CHART, SO IF WE COULD GET THAT UPDATED, BUT ALSO WHAT WE'LL NEED TO BE ADDED TO THIS LIST IS THE NUMBER OF LOCKERS THAT ARE NEEDED.
WHAT WAS ON THIS CHART IS JUST WHAT WAS BROKEN, USED, AND UNUSABLE.
I SEE ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM, WE ARE INCREASING THE GIRLS LOCKERS FROM 212-616 AND THE BOYS FROM 216-559.
BUT I AM ALSO GOING TO WANT TO SEE WHERE WE NEED TO BE ACROSS THE BOARD AT OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL.
IF WE COULD JUST GET THAT INFORMATION.
>> IS THAT CLEAR, MISS. ROSCOE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. SEVERANCE?
>> IT'S JUST MORE PROCEDURAL OR THE VETTING VENDORS FOR THIS PROJECT.
I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT VENDOR THAN WHAT WE USE FOR THE HAYS NEW LOCKERS.
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM A LOCKER STANDPOINT THAT WE WOULD SELECT A NEW VENDOR OR WE JUST SELECTED A SEPARATE VENDOR FOR, I THINK IT WAS 80 LOCKERS AT THE HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.
I'M JUST CURIOUS. ON A PRICE PER LOCKER, I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK THIS ONE'S 354 NEW LOCKERS.
IT'S LIKE 900 BUCKS A LOCKER VERSUS THE 80 FOR LAST TIME.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS WITH THE DIFFERENT COMPANIES, DIFFERENT MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, DIFFERENT COMPANIES DO DIFFERENT LOCKERS, I'M JUST CURIOUS.
>> MR. CLEAVER CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT NOW OR DO YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO US?
>> YOU CAN GET BACK TO US. I JUST WAS CURIOUS ABOUT IT.
>> YOU TAP ON THAT MIC AND SEE IF IT'S WORKING.
>> I THINK IT MIGHT BE RELATIONSHIP.
LIKE THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE I THINK IT'S BSN AND THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY, OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION, MR. WINDSOR, WHICH HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS BOND CONSTRUCTION AND THEY COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
WE'RE RECOMMENDING YOU USE THEM AT DAHLSTROM.
IT'S REALLY A RELATIONSHIP THING.
>> NO, IT'S FINE. I JUST KNOW COURTNEY.
I KNOW WE'RE PUTTING A LOCKER PROGRAM TOGETHER FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT.
AT SOME POINT, MAYBE WE CAN LEVERAGE SOME ECONOMIES OF SCALE BY NOT AWARDING BY PROJECT, BUT MAYBE BY CLUSTER OF SCHOOLS THAT NEED TO DO IT INSTEAD OF ONE AT A TIME.
MAYBE IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY WITH ONE VENDOR.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT OUT LOUD.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOCKER REPLACEMENTS AND HOW THAT WORKS, BUT I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN LOOK AT IT ONCE WE GET THE WHOLE LIST TOGETHER OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WE COULD JUST DO IT MORE EFFICIENTLY AT ONE TIME. THANKS.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT. MS. RANKL?
>> WELL. NOW I'M CURIOUS ON BIDS FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, BUT I'M ALSO ABOUT SAVING MONEY TOO AND WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS.
IF WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION ALSO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> COMPARISON TO THE VENDORS BETWEEN BSN AND THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY?
>> ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM, AN ADDITIONAL QUOTE FROM THE VENDOR THAT WE USED WITH HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.
[01:35:06]
OR DID WE GET A QUOTE FROM THEM?>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
WE CAN DO A COMPARISON OF THE BRANDS AND THE COST PER LOCKER AND THAT THING.
>> YEAH, LET'S DO THAT. ONLY BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED RELATIONSHIP, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT LIKE THIS DRASTIC AMOUNT.
>> WHEN I SAY RELATIONSHIP, IT'S WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE LEGAL PURCHASING SYSTEM.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS PARTICULAR BOND IS ON THE TCPN CONTRACT.
I BELIEVE BSN IS PROBABLY BY BOARD.
IT'S A DIFFERENT PURCHASING MECHANISM.
IT'S STILL A CO-OP, BUT IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT CO-OP, I BELIEVE.
>> MR. WINDSOR, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THAT? ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE? MAYBE IF THERE WERE ANY ADDITIONAL BIDS ON THIS ITEM, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE A COMPARISON.
IF WE HAD DIFFERENT BIDS. NO, DON'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON THE NEXT ITEM, MR. CLEAVER.
>> THIS IS OUR RATIFICATION OF
[M.7. Consideration and possible approval of the ratification of emergency building repair expenses caused by Winter Storm Elliot Winter Break 2022]
EMERGENCY BUILDING REPAIR EXPENSES CAUSED BY WINTER STORM ELIOT DURING THE WINTER BREAK.THIS IS ON PAGE 123, TEAM, I'LL GO TO YOU GUYS FIRST.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER ON THIS ITEM? WELL, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
WHEN WE'VE HAD THESE WINTER STORMS IN THE PAST, WE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR VERY MUCH.
IT WAS LIKE 25 GRAND OR SOMETHING.
WHEN I SAW THIS 184,000, I WAS VERY SAD.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THE TEAM AND THE PUBLIC WHY THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE?
>> ABSOLUTELY. YES MAM, SO OUR NEW RENEWAL FROM TASB, TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS, RISK MANAGEMENT FUND FOR WHAT THEY'RE CALLING WINTER STORM DAMAGE OR WINTER STORM-RELATED DAMAGE IS NOW A ONE MILLION DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE.
ALL OTHER PAYROLLS ARE STILL 50,000.
IT'S GONE UP TO 50,000, BUT THE STORM DAMAGE IS NOW ONE MILLION DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE.
WHERE THAT HAS LED OUR CONVERSATIONS TO GO, ANYWAY IS IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN OUR BEST INTERESTS TO MAYBE STAND UP SOME TYPE OF A CREW AND SOME SUPPLIES ON HAND, PALLETS OF SHEET ROCK AND ROLLS OF PLASTIC AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE'RE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO HAVE TO USE OUR OWN FORCES MORE TO GET THESE THINGS DONE.
BECAUSE A MILLION DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE, THAT'S OUT THERE.
>> WELL, AND CAN WE SHOP RISK MANAGEMENT INSURANCE?
>> I'M AWARE OF TWO ENTITIES THAT COULD COVER US.
ONE IS TASB AND THE OTHER IS USI.
OF COURSE, USI THAT'S NOT A POOL, SO WE WOULD ACTUALLY BID THAT IN ORDER TO BID THAT IS SUCH A COMPLEX BID AND THERE'S SO MANY MOVING PARTS.
IF WE DID THAT, I'D RECOMMEND THAT WE GET A CONSULTANT TO GUIDE THAT BID.
BUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS AREN'T THE BEST RISK, WE HAVE A LOT OF FACILITIES AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN THEM AND WE WERE SUBJECT TO STORMS. IT'S JUST A DIFFICULT RISK. IT'S EXPENSIVE.
LAST YEAR TO YOUR POINT, WINTER STORM URI WAS ABOUT THREE-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND YES, THAT WAS $125,000 DEDUCTIBLE FOR ALL OF THAT DAMAGE.
>> YES, AND SO NOW WE GET TO PAY FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.
>> I GUESS SO. WELL, AND I SUSPECT BECAUSE OF THE WINTER STORMS THAT JUST KEEP COMING THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE LIKE, WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE.
>> IF THERE IS A CUP HALF FULL STORY, WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE DAMAGE AT BARTON OR DAHLSTROM OR HAYS HIGH SCHOOL OR ANY OF THOSE PLACES THAT ON OUR HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT OUR BOILERS AND CHILLERS, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT DAMAGE.
BASED ON THE LAST WINTER STORM.
WE PUT VALVES EVERYWHERE, WE NEEDED TO PUT VALVES AND SO WE DRAIN THE SYSTEM.
AGAIN, WE LEARNED ONE MORE TIME.
WE LEARNED AGAIN WHAT WE DIDN'T DO THIS TIME, AND SO WE'LL MAKE SURE WE DO IT NEXT TIME.
EACH TIME WE'LL GET CUMULATIVELY BETTER.
BUT A MILLION DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE, THAT'S A BIT OF A SHOCKER.
>> YES. WELL, I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF BEING PROACTIVE AND MAYBE
[01:40:04]
GETTING A CRISIS TEAM AT THE READY WHEN THESE THINGS ARE COMING.BECAUSE WHAT I HEARD WAS THAT THE IMPACT DAMAGE WAS ONLY FOUND ACCIDENTALLY THAT SOMEBODY HAD GONE UP THERE THAT THEY FORGOTTEN SOMETHING DURING THE CHRISTMAS BREAK AND SAW ALL THE DAMAGE.
THEN THEY RAISED THE ALARM BELLS AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED OVER THERE.
I DO THINK HAD THEY NOT, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE DAMAGE TO DEAL WITH.
WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT IT AT BUDGET SEASON.
DO WE NEED TO SQUIRREL AWAY SOME MONEY FOR THESE EVENTS THAT ARE GOING TO KEEP COMING? I'M ALSO JUST CONCERNED ABOUT OUR STAFF THAT GETS DISPLACED.
I KNOW IMPACT ALREADY IS A SMALLER FACILITY WITH PORTABLES EVERYWHERE AND SO I KNOW YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR STAFF WHEN THOSE THINGS HAPPEN.
BUT THIS WAS SHOT TO THE HEART WITH THE DOLLAR FIGURE.
>> WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT AND I'M SURE YOU'RE TALKING TO MR. RAUL ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ON THE BUDGET SIDE, MR. BAILEY YOU HAD A QUESTION.
>> YEAH, MR. CLEAVER, THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT LESSONS LEARNED FROM URI.
I MENTIONED WE'RE MAKING A LIST OF THOSE THINGS ALREADY OR GETTING A READINESS CREW THAT IS THERE.
WE MAKE THAT PART OF OUR PRACTICE, ESPECIALLY DURING EXTENDED BREAKS THAT WE SET UP MAIN WATER SUPPLIES.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT, WHAT WE DID.
THOSE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE STORM, WE SENT THE CREWS OUT, THEY DRAINED ALL THE CHILLERS.
THEY OPENED VALVES THE WATER RUN OUT DOWN THE DRAIN.
I THINK WE JUST HAD AN IMPACT.
THERE WAS A LINE IN THE ATTIC THAT DIDN'T GET INSULATED LAST TIME.
WE JUST MISSED A LITTLE STUB COPPER LINE AND LET GO IN THE ATTIC.
BUT AT EACH TIME WE WERE GOING BACK AND REPLACING AND FIXING WHAT WE CAN TO GET BETTER NEXT TIME.
NEXT TIME THERE'S A STORM WE'LL DRAIN IMPACT.
>> THEN TO MISS PETRIE'S POINT, DEFINITELY IF WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT HEDGING SOME FUNDS ON OUR END.
WE KNOW THE INSURANCE COMPANIES DO WHAT THEY DO AND WE'LL DO THE SAME ON OUR END TO MAKE SURE WE'RE READY.
>> ON PAGE 124, ALL OF THESE, THEY HAVE A CADENCE.
YOU HAVE THE EMERGENCY CLEANUP PART AND THEN THE RECONSTRUCTION PART.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A SITUATION WHERE WHEN THE WATER IS RUNNING OUT THE FRONT DOOR AND IT'S 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO KEEP CALLING THAT CLEANUP PART.
BUT I THINK WHERE WE CAN PROBABLY DO BETTER IS ON THAT RECONSTRUCTION PIECE BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME TALENTED CRAFTSMEN THAT CAN DO THESE THINGS.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF ORGANIZING IT AND GETTING IT, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE SEPARATE DAILY DUTIES FROM DUTIES FROM A STORM.
BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT AND I THINK THAT IS THE WAY FORWARD TO MAKE IT AFFORDABLE.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND TO YOUR STAFF, YOUR TEAM, AND TO MAINTENANCE, IN OUR CUSTODIAN STAFF.
BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE HAVE THESE CRAZY THINGS HAPPEN, YOU GUYS JUMP IN AND MAKE IT RIGHT AND NO ONE NOTICES BECAUSE YOU'VE MOVED SO QUICKLY, SO JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO. SPEEDY.
>> THEY ARE, THEY DO A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? WE'LL BE PREPARED TO VOTE ON THAT ITEM NEXT WEEK.
MR. CLEAVER, QUICK, DO WE HAVE ALL THOSE FANS AND STUFF? THOSE FANS YOU BRING IN TO DRIVE IN?
>> WE DO. WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAILER.
WE HAVE ALL THE CARPET DRYERS AND WE'RE GETTING THE BIG WET DRY VAX THAT YOU CAN ATTACH HOSES TO THAT YOU DON'T JUST KEPT TO KEEP DUMPING WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUMP WATER OUT OF THE BUILDING.
>> NOT LIKE THE SHOP BACK IN MY GARAGE.
>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT BEEFIER MAYBE.
WE'RE PUTTING TRAILER TOGETHER WITH ALL PLYWOOD FOR DAMAGE.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE WHEN THOSE COMPANIES COME IN, IT IS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT'S THEIR TAGLINE ACTUALLY.
BUT IF WE COULD DO SOME OF THAT WORK OURSELVES.
>> WE COULD PROBABLY SAVE SOME MONEY.
>> AND HAVE THE SUPPLIES ON HAND SO IT'S THE TIMING ALSO.
>> SOON AS WE GET IT DRIED, WE CAN START PUTTING IT BACK.
>> WELL, GOOD. I'M GLAD YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO. WE'RE LEARNING.
>> ABSOLUTELY. LIKE I SAID, A MILLION-DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE, WE NEED TO [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEY JUST WANT TO BE DROPPED.
WE DIDN'T EVEN FILE THIS IS WHAT I'M GUESSING.
THIS IS ALL JUST OUT OF POCKET.
>> NO. THEY COME AND TAKE A LOOK, THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LOSS.
>> JUST APPLY IT TO THE MILLION DOLLARS?
>> GOT IT. NEXT STEP WE HAVE OUR BUDGET CALENDAR.
[M.8. Consideration and possible approval of the 2023-2024 Budget Calendar]
2023-2024 BUDGET CALENDAR.MR. RANDY RAUL IS HERE AND HAS SOME WORDS HE WANTS
[01:45:03]
TO TALK ABOUT ON THE CALENDAR BEFORE WE ASK QUESTIONS.I SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AS WELL.
>> WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ON THE BUDGET CALENDAR, ON THE TRANSMITTAL, I THINK I HAD MADE THE COMMENT ON HERE THAT GOING FORWARD AT EACH BOARD MEETING THAT I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A MONTHLY STATUS REPORT ON WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE.
LIKE AS AN EXAMPLE, IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, I'LL COME BACK AND GO OVER WHAT WE HAD LISTED IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY WHERE WE ARE IN STATUS AND AT EACH BOARD MEETING.
I THINK IN THE CALENDAR IT ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THE JANUARY 23RD BOARD MEETING OF TAKING INPUT FROM THE BOARD ON WHICH I WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT GOING FORWARD IN THE PREPARATION OF THE BUDGET.
I'LL USE THIS [INAUDIBLE] AS AN EXAMPLE.
WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT AT THE BREAK ABOUT SOME ITEMS THAT SHE WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT AND I'VE ALREADY WRITTEN THOSE DOWN AND WE'LL TAKE NOTE OF THOSE GOING FORWARD AND THEN REPORT BACK.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE CALENDAR, AS I STATED IN THE TRANSMITTAL PART, IS IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO HIT THE HIGH POINTS OF BUDGET PREPARATION FROM NOW UNTIL THE TIME THE BOARD ADOPTS THE BUDGET.
SOME THINGS MAY GET MOVED FROM ONE MONTH TO ANOTHER.
IT'S JUST DEPENDING ON HOW LONG SOMETHING TAKES OR INFORMATION GATHERING.
THIS IS ALSO A LEGISLATIVE YEAR, SO I'M SURE DR. WRIGHT DURING HIS SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS WILL PROBABLY WILL BE APPRISING THE BOARD OF ITEMS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE OR ARE TAKING PLACE AND THROUGH OUR TASK BOARD ORGANIZATION AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT I'M A MEMBER OF, WE GET INFORMATION BACK AND I'LL BE DOING THAT SAME THING THROUGH THE BUDGET UPDATES.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO THROW OUT THERE.
IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THE ITEMS BEFORE WE HIT NEXT WEEK, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, SOMETHING YOU NEED CLARIFICATION ON OR WHATNOT, JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE CAN ADJUST THIS.
>> I DO DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE ON THERE A DISCUSSION ON OUR BUDGET PRIORITIES AS A BOARD AND I'M THINKING THAT NEEDS TO BE FEBRUARY OR MARCH, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE LEGISLATIVE SEASON, THEY COULD COMPLETELY CHANGE OUR ENTIRE ALGORITHM FOR HOW WE ARE FUNDED.
BUT JUST COMMUNICATING FROM THIS SPORTS POINT OF VIEW WHAT PRIORITIES WE MAY HAVE JUST TO HAVE THAT DOCUMENTED, SO TEAM B THINKING ABOUT THAT.
MAYBE EMAIL IN YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHEN THAT SHOULD BE TO, MR. ROWELL.
I LIKE THE ONE-ON-ONE EDUCATION.
I LIKE THE MONTHLY STATUS UPDATES THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET FROM MR. ROWELL, BUT I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO COMMUNICATING OUR PRIORITIES TO YOU AND TO THE PUBLIC EARLY IN THE PROCESS, KNOWING THAT WE CAN'T DO ALL THE THINGS, BUT AT LEAST PRIORITIZE WHERE WE WANT TO SPEND OUR MONEY.
>> THE EARLIER THAT I GET THOSE ITEMS THE EARLIER I CAN TRY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE ASSUMPTIONS AND THINGS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER AND WHAT WE'RE DOING GOING FORWARD.
LIKE YOU SAID, IT IS A LEGISLATIVE YEAR.
WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE SOME PRETTY BIG CHANGES.
MAYBE THE BASIC ALLOTMENT, MAYBE THE WAY WE'RE GETTING FUNDED, BUT GOING FORWARD ALL THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE GOING TO BE BASED ON CURRENT LAW AND SO THOSE WILL ALL BE SPELLED OUT AT THE INTERVALS WHEN WE COME BACK WITH A SUMMARY OF WHERE WE ARE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. ROWELL AND SO MUCH OF THIS ALSO IS DEPENDENT ON THE CO-PLAN AND WORKING THOSE THINGS TOGETHER.
I'M SURE WE'LL GET INTO THAT MORE INTO THE SPRING, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE COORDINATED ON ALL OF THAT BECAUSE I ASSUME OUR COMPENSATION WILL BE ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES.
DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF EVERYBODY, BUT THAT HAS BEEN A TREND HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ROWELL? MS. ROSCOE.
>> NOT A QUESTION, BUT DEFINITELY THE EARLIER WE CAN START TALKING ABOUT OUR PRIORITIES, THE BETTER WE'RE GOING TO BE OFF.
EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW LAST TIME WHEN IT WAS THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WE HAD SO MANY THINGS COME OUT AS WITH THE SPECIAL SESSION THAT A PROLONGED WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE IN REGARDS TO COMPENSATION AND EVERYTHING, WE HAD TO PUT SOME THINGS ON HOLD TO REALLY LOOK AT COMPENSATION AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES.
BUT DEFINITELY WE CAN START HAVING A FACILITATION OF THAT DISCUSSION OF BUDGET PRIORITIES THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT,
[01:50:01]
AND ESPECIALLY WITH SHOWCASES ABOUT TO BE OVER HERE SOON, GETTING A LIST.BUT AFTER THE SHOWCASES ARE DONE, COMPILING A LIST OF THOSE NEEDS AND WANTS FROM THE DIFFERENT CAMPUSES AND WHAT WE CAN DO IN-HOUSE, THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT HAD A ZERO BUDGET IMPLICATION AND THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT DID HAVE A BUDGET IMPLICATION.
BY GATHERING THAT INFORMATION IS GOING TO BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR US WHEN WE DO TALK ABOUT BUDGET PRIORITIES. THANK YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT TEAM, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO INFORMATION ITEMS. FIRST UP TEAM.
[N.1. First Reading - Proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan]
WE HAVE THIS PRINTOUT.THIS IS ON OUR FIRST READING OF THE HAYS CISD DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PLAN AMENDMENTS.
YOU'LL SEE THOSE STARTING ON PAGE 127.
I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO KIND OF LOOK THROUGH ON PAGE 128, DR. MEDINA HAS OUTLINED SOME OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF THOSE AMENDMENTS.
WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS TONIGHT.
THE PLAN WOULD BE ACCORDING TO THE TIMELINE ON PAGE 127, WE WOULD POTENTIALLY VOTE ON THIS NEXT WEEK.
THIS IS TV TINY PRINT, SO I'M GOING TO LOOK ON THE SCREEN.
>> GOOD EVENING BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT PETRIE, DR. WRIGHT.
THIS EVENING I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THESE RECOMMENDED DOI AMENDMENT.
JUST AS A BIG OVERVIEW, AMENDMENTS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY POINT IN TIME THAT THE DOI IS IN PLACE.
IT DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE ALL OF THE STEPS THAT THE ORIGINAL DOI PROCESS REQUIRES.
IT'S AN ABBREVIATED TYPE OF PROCESS.
IT DOES REQUIRE TAKING IT TO THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM AND GETTING THEIR FEEDBACK, ENSURING THAT WE GET AT LEAST A TWO-THIRDS VOTE OF THE BOARD AND FROM THERE THAT WE NOTIFY THE COMMISSIONER OF ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE BOARD, AS WELL AS POSTING THEM ON OUR WEBSITE AND TEA ALSO POST THOSE ON THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL.
THAT'S BIG BROAD PROCESS FOR THE AMENDMENT PROCESS.
WHEN AN AMENDMENT OCCURS, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE TIMELINE OF THE DOI OR CURRENT DOI EXPIRES, I BELIEVE ON DECEMBER OF 2023, I THINK IT'S ON THE 17TH.
WE KNOW THAT THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WILL TAKE US AT LEAST THROUGH THIS YEAR, WHICH IS I THINK, VERY INTENTIONAL ON OUR PART TO SEE HOW EFFECTIVE THEY ARE, GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TWEAK AND MAKE CHANGES BEFORE OUR BIG DOI RENEWAL PROCESS OCCURS LATER THIS YEAR.
BEFORE WE GO INTO THESE, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS JUST A BRIEF LITTLE POWERPOINT THAT WE PUT TOGETHER TO FACILITATE OUR DISCUSSION THIS EVENING.
ALSO, AS PART OF ANY CHANGES TO BOARD POLICIES, WE DO WORK WITH TASB TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM THEM.
TODAY WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM TASB AND SO I WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT JUST IN TIME.
OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD IT ON FRIDAY, BUT WE RECEIVED IT TODAY.
IN ADDITION TO YOUR POWERPOINT PACKET, YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PACKET, IT'S NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
BUT THESE ARE THE REVISIONS AND THE ADVICE THAT TASB IS GIVING US.
UNLESS I HEAR OTHERWISE FROM THE BOARD THIS EVENING, THOSE WOULD BE THE AMENDED POLICIES THAT WE WILL BE BRINGING FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION ON THE 23RD, WHICH IS NEXT MONTH.
>> EACH OF THOSE ARE AN AGENDA ITEM OF ITS OWN.
WE'LL WALK THROUGH THOSE AFTER THIS PRESENTATION.
>> GREAT. THANK YOU. WITH ME THIS EVENING, I HAVE LINDA HALL, DEPUTY HR OFFICER WHO IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS.
I ALSO HAVE TIM ROBINSON, WHO IS OUR DIRECTOR OF TALENT ACQUISITION, WHO CAN TALK TO YOU FIRST HAND ABOUT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT OUR TALENT ACQUISITION TEAM HAS FACED THIS YEAR IN FILLING SOME OF OUR POSITIONS.
WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.
ALL OF THIS WORK IS PART OF OUR MISSION.
OUR MISSION IS NOT ONLY ABOUT SUPPORTING OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO OUR FUTURE EMPLOYEES.
WHAT THESE AMENDMENTS DO IS THEY DO ALLOW US IN SOME CASES, AS THEY RELATE TO CERTIFICATION TO HELP US MAXIMIZE THEIR TALENT AND RECOGNIZE THEIR TALENT IN OUR CLASSROOMS. THAT CAN BE FOR EXISTING STAFF MEMBERS CONSIDERING OTHER ASSIGNMENTS.
BUT IT COULD ALSO BE NEW HIRES.
PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT HOLD A PARTICULAR CERTIFICATION, BUT THEY MAY ACTUALLY HOLD A DEGREE IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
IT'S ABOUT BUILDING AND SUPPORTING OUR PEOPLE AND THOSE THAT WANT TO JOIN OUR TEAM.
[01:55:05]
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ALSO COMPLETELY ALIGN WITH ONE OF THE GOALS THAT I COMMUNICATED WITH YOU EARLIER THIS YEAR, WHICH WE COMMITTED TO FINDING INNOVATIVE NEW STRATEGIES TO TRY TO FILL OUR VACANCIES.THIS IS WHAT THAT WORK IS ABOUT.
THIS IS WE ENGAGE IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CHALLENGES HAVE BEEN AND COMING UP WITH SOME RECOMMENDED DOI AMENDMENTS.
THIS IS TIED TO GOALS, IT'S TIED TO OUR MISSION.
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN THIS FIRST ONE OVER TO TIM ROBINSON AND IT'S REGARDING CERTIFICATION.
IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE POLICY, THE POLICY THAT THIS REFERS TO IS DBA AND DK.
IF YOU WANT TO PULL THOSE, YOU CAN UNSTAPLE YOUR PACKET AND YOU CAN PULL THOSE TO REFERENCE SOME OF THE CHANGES AND THAT'S THE WAY THE PRESENTATION IS SET SO YOU CAN FOLLOW THE POLICIES AS WE GO ALONG.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MR. ROBINSON.
>> THANK YOU, DR. MEDINA, PRESIDENT PETRIE, DR. WRIGHT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I'M TIM ROBINSON, DIRECTOR OF TALENT ACQUISITION.
I FIRST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN SAID MULTIPLE TIMES TONIGHT, BUT I RARELY GET TO STAND IN FRONT OF YOU AND SAY IT.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SHARING WITH YOU AMENDMENT 2 AS DR. MEDINA ALLUDED TO.
BEING IN THE POSITION THAT DIRECTLY DEALS WITH THIS ON A DAILY BASIS, WE'RE COMING TO YOU WITH THIS AMENDMENT AND THIS IS AMENDMENT 2.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE AMENDMENT 1 IN OUR CURRENT DOI PLANS.
THAT'S WHY THIS IS LABELED AS AMENDMENT 2, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO NUMBER. WE DO.
THIS ONE LOOKS AT EXEMPTING TEACHERS OF SECONDARY AND MATH SCIENCE AND LOTE FROM HOLDING A SBEC CERTIFICATION IN RARE CASES AS DETERMINED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT.
OF COURSE, WHAT WE MEAN BY RARE CASES, AS WE GET TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY IN THAT POSITION.
THIS WILL ALLOW US THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT POTENTIAL CANDIDATES, VET THEM.
WE OBVIOUSLY WOULD WANT TO DEFINE A CLEARLY ARTICULATED PROCESS OF HOW WE LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE AND VET THEM.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOLD A DEGREE, FOR INSTANCE, OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN IN AN ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM.
WE WOULDN'T JUST PICK SOMEBODY OFF THE STREET AND SAY, HERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO INTO THIS POSITION.
WE WOULD NEED TO ARTICULATE THAT INFORMATION TOO AS WELL.
THAT ENCOMPASSES AMENDMENT 2 AND OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
>> I'M GOING TO STOP YOU AFTER EACH OF THESE AMENDMENTS.
>> BEFORE WE GET TOO MUCH FURTHER, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
THE POLICIES ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING VERSUS WHAT'S IN HERE.
FOR EXAMPLE, DK IS NOT ON OUR LIST AT ALL AND DFAB IS NOT ON OUR LIST, BUT IT'S IN HERE AND DC IS NOT IN HERE, BUT IS LISTED ON THIS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE FEEDBACK FROM TASB TODAY, ACTUALLY WHEN WE WERE PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, THEY SAID THERE IS A REFERENCE IN DK THAT YOU'LL WANT TO REFERENCE.
[OVERLAPPING] THEY SAID, DEFINITELY YOU WANT TO DO DK AND THEY DID UPDATE DK FOR US.
IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL SEE WHAT WE WILL BRING TO YOU AS PART OF THE REVISION TO DK.
IT BASICALLY IS A REFERENCE TO THE DOI PLAN AND SO FORTH.
I DID UPDATE THIS POWERPOINT SO THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT POLICIES [OVERLAPPING].
>> I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT ALL STRAIGHT. ON AMENDMENT 2, WE'RE GOING TO STOP AND PAUSE AND TAKE QUESTIONS.
SOME OF THESE HAVE A LOT MORE IMPACT THAN OTHERS.
MS. ROSCOE, YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS AMENDMENT 2?
>> YES, I DO. I KNOW I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO DR. WRIGHT ABOUT ALL THESE AMENDMENTS EARLIER.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN DOI FIRST CAME ABOUT FOR OUR DISTRICT AND WE WE'RE FIRST CONSIDERING IT, I KNOW I HAD LOTS OF CONCERNS ABOUT OPENING UP THE EXEMPTIONS FOR BEING A CERTIFIED TEACHER.
I'M LIKE IT STARTS WITH CTE AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO BE NEXT? THOSE HIGH CONTENT AREAS, SO IT CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH TO BE OPENING THAT UP.
I DO SEE THE SURVEY RESULTS ARE VERY CLOSE WITH THE FOR AND AGAINST AND THE NEUTRAL.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A SHORTAGE AND WE NEED THESE POSITIONS, HOWEVER, LIKE DR. WRIGHT AND I DISCUSS, I THINK WE NEED TO ADD SOME LANGUAGE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME GUARDRAILS IN PLACE BECAUSE THEY'RE ARE CAMPUSES AND OR OTHER DISTRICTS, NOT US, THAT MIGHT HIRE FOLKS USING THAT CTE WAIVER,
[02:00:08]
THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST FIT BECAUSE WELL, THEY MIGHT BE A COACH FOR EXAMPLE.I KNOW THAT'S TRANSPIRED IN OTHER DISTRICTS AND I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN HERE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO PUT SOME GUARDRAILS.
DR. WRIGHT, YOU HAD A SUGGESTION ABOUT THIS FOR AMENDMENT 2. YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT?
>> YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO PUT SOME ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES IN PLACE TO SUPPORT THIS, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE GUARDRAILS.
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIND HIGHLY QUALIFIED CERTIFIED PEOPLE IN MATH AND SCIENCE BECAUSE IT'S CRUCIAL.
BUT WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT THE SHORTAGE AREAS ARE REALLY HIGH IN THESE AREAS BECAUSE THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS REALLY STEALING THOSE PARTICULAR TEACHERS AND THEN TRAINING THEM FOR DIFFERENT PETROCHEMICAL COMPANIES AND THINGS SUCH AS THAT.
WHAT WE WOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION IS WE WOULD LOOK FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS A MATH DEGREE BUT DOESN'T HAVE A TEACHING CERTIFICATION, OR THEY HAVE A SCIENCE DEGREE AND DON'T HAVE A TEACHING CERTIFICATION.
TO YOUR POINT, YEAH, WE WOULD REDUCE OUR STEPS SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE BEST QUALITY CANDIDATE.
THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO TEACH THEM ABOUT CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND THEN THE ART OF TEACHING.
WE WOULD ENROLL THEM IN AN ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE THEM THE SUPPORT AS THEY GO.
BUT DR. MEDINA AND I HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT TODAY ABOUT THE STEPS AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR HIRING MANAGERS, PRINCIPALS UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.
>> TRUSTEE ALSO, IF I COULD ADD ONE MORE THING SO THAT I UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND TO EXPECTATIONS.
WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS PRESENT THE BROAD EXEMPTION ON THE DOI AND THEN DEVELOP ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AROUND IT.
WHAT WE COULD DO FOR THE 23RD IS BRING TO YOU WHAT THOSE PROCEDURES WOULD BE.
IF THERE'S ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE MAYBE TONIGHT, OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN PARTICULAR ON YOUR MIND, LET US KNOW AND SEE HOW WE CAN FIT.
JUST AT A GLANCE, I KNOW THAT DR. WRIGHT WAS EXACTLY RIGHT ON POINT.
IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR UPPER LEVEL MATH, WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A MATH DEGREE OR EVEN A SCIENCE DEGREE, WHICH OFTENTIMES IS COUPLED WITH THE MATHEMATICS.
IT WOULD NOT BE A SITUATION WHERE THERE'S UNRELATED DEGREE AND WE'RE JUST FISHING FOR JUST ANYONE TO GO INTO THESE POSITIONS.
THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
WE WANT TO PUT THOSE GUARDRAILS, DR. WRIGHT, PUT THEM IN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE.
WE CAN DRAFT THOSE UP FOR THE 23RD SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT THOSE WOULD BE LIKE AND IF YOU HAVE SOME INPUT, WE WELCOME THAT.
>> I KNOW WE HAVE NOBLE INTENT.
I'M ASSUMING POSITIVE AND NOBLE INTENT, ESPECIALLY WITH DR. WRIGHT BRINGING IT FORWARD.
I KNOW YOU ARE. I BELIEVE THAT.
HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN SITUATIONS, MAYBE NOT IN OUR DISTRICT, BUT IN OTHER DISTRICTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE USED THIS TO HIRE PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT AS QUALIFIED BECAUSE THEY HAD A CTE EXEMPTION OR SO ON.
WE DO NOT HAVE GUARDRAILS ON THIS BECAUSE DOI CAN BE USED NOT TO HIRE MAYBE THE BEST QUALIFIED TEACHERS OR REALLY SEEKING OUT THOSE CERTIFIED TEACHERS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, CERTIFIED TEACHERS SHOULD BE HIRED AND THEN GOING DOWN THAT LADDER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE MAYBE A MATH DEGREE AND SO ON.
BUT IT HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER CAMPUSES, IT HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER DISTRICTS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS IN PLACE BEFORE I PUT MY NAME TO SOMETHING WHERE THAT I VOTE FOR SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT TOOK THE SURVEY AND SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE REALLY FOR IT.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT. HOWEVER, IT'S A VERY SMALL SAMPLE.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MEAN AS MUCH IF IT WAS A LARGER SAMPLE OF FOLKS.
YOU CAN ONLY DO WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE PEOPLE THAT TAKE THE SURVEY.
I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION, DR. WRIGHT AND I TRUST THAT YOU WILL PUT SOMETHING IN PLACE.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT IS USE CTE AS EXAMPLE.
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO USE THIS EXCEPTION, SAY THEY'RE A CAMPUS PRINCIPAL, THEN WE HAVE TO EXPAND THE HIRING COMMITTEE AND IT GOES BEYOND JUST THE PEOPLE ON THAT CAMPUS.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO INCLUDE PEOPLE FROM THAT SPECIFIC PROGRAM SUCH AS
[02:05:02]
CTE OR THE SCIENCE CONTENT COORDINATOR OR THE MATH CONTENT COORDINATOR, AS WELL AS THE DAO, SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING SOMEONE THAT HAS THAT SPECIFIC BACKGROUND.THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE SUGGESTION THAT I HAVE.
AS WE SPOKE EARLIER, THAT'S FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MIND BECAUSE THAT'LL HELP US DIRECT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UTILIZING IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSES.
>> EXACTLY. THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT FOR BRINGING THAT EXAMPLE UP.
AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO GET THE BEST PERSON FOR OUR STUDENTS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE THE SAME MINDSET, SO I'M SURE YOU WILL REMEDY THE LANGUAGE IN THAT AND THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO PUT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT CERTIFIED BEFORE.
LIKE HIRE UNCERTIFIED PEOPLE BEFORE A CERTIFIED COMPETENT TEACHER.
BECAUSE OUR FIRST CHOICE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A CERTIFIED COMPETENT TEACHER OVER SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT HAVE A HIGH MATH DEGREE OR ETC, WITH ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL.
I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT SINCE THEY DO HAVE THE TRAINING FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT.
NOW WALLACE DOES A REALLY AMAZING THING WHERE THEY GO BEYOND WHAT WE DO FOR MENTORING OUR NEW TEACHERS.
THEY ACTUALLY DO A ONCE A MONTH LUNCH AND LEARN FOR THEIR NEW TEACHERS TO HAVE SOME MORE FACE TIME WITH THEM TO TALK ABOUT CERTAIN TOPICS TO REALLY HELP THEM.
YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN MAKING OUR NEW TEACHER MENTORING MORE ROBUST.
I LOVE THAT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A NEW TEACHER, WE BARELY HAD STARTED THE MENTORING PROGRAM AND IT WAS NOT VERY ROBUST.
I JUST THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT WAYS TO ALSO MAKE THAT A MORAL BEST FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT CERTIFIED AND THAT ARE COMING THROUGH A DOI EXEMPTION.
I THINK WE NEED TO TARGET THAT GROUP SPECIFICALLY WITH THOSE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND SO ON. THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT.
>> I JUST WANT TO REINFORCE THIS IDEA OF GUARDRAILS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO PRETTY CLEARLY SAY FOR ME THAT WITHOUT SEEING THE PROCEDURES, EVEN IF THEY ARE DRAFT, I WILL VOTE NO ON THIS AMENDMENT.
I THINK THAT I GET VERY NERVOUS WHEN I SEE THINGS LIKE RARE CASES AND GENERALLY THOSE CAUSE ME A PAUSE BECAUSE I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT FUTURE USE MIGHT DO.
WE REALLY NEED CLARITY AROUND THOSE THINGS.
DR. WRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW THAT CAN HAPPEN, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT DOCUMENTED.
AGAIN, EVEN IF IT'S IN DRAFT, AND IT'S WORKING TOWARDS A FINAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
BUT JUST TO REINFORCE WHAT MRS. ROSCOE SAID, I THINK THE BARN DOOR'S OPENED UP A LITTLE BIT MORE AND PRETTY SOON MAYBE IT'S ALL POSITIONS AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE.
WE WANT TO BE SUPER-DUPER CAREFUL WITH THIS. THANK YOU.
>> MS. [INAUDIBLE] , YOU HAD SOMETHING IN THE MR. VELA?
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE DLT?
THE DLT, THERE WAS A DESIRE TO DISCUSS THESE ITEMS. WHAT WE DID IS WE GOT THE DLT TO SEPARATE INTO DIFFERENT GROUPS.
THE END CAME UP WITH QUESTIONS.
AS A TEAM OF TABLE, THEY EACH SUBMITTED A VOTE.
YOU MAY HAVE EIGHT TABLES, BUT EACH OF THOSE EIGHT TABLES, YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE AT THAT TABLE SUBMITTING THEIR CONSENSUS FOR THAT ITEM.
IT'S THE WAY THEY WANTED TO SOCIALIZE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANT AND THAT IT WASN'T JUST THEM SUBMITTING THEIR VOTE.
THAT'S THE WAY WE DEVELOP THAT CONSENSUS.
BUT LIKE I SAID, THERE WERE GROUPS AT THE TABLE THAT REALLY FELT LIKE WE'RE NOT QUITE AT A NO OR NOT AT A YES.
OUR TABLE HAD CONSENSUS WITH A YES AND SO FORTH.
>> FOR PARTICULAR SURVEYS LIKE THIS, I WOULD SAY THAT GROUP TABLE PROBABLY AREN'T THE BEST FOR THIS PARTICULAR.
>> ITEM. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SURVEY RESULTS.
I TOO I'M GOING TO ECHO WHAT TRUSTEE ROSCOE AND TRUSTEE MCMANUS SAID, I SUBMITTED QUESTIONS ONLINE AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THOSE, BUT I TOO WOULD VOTE NO WITHOUT GUARDRAILS IN PLACE.
HAVING MORE SPECIFIC AND I APPRECIATE AGAIN,
[02:10:03]
YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND I KNOW THAT WE'LL SEE MORE OF THOSE THIS WEEK.BUT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, I WOULD VOTE NO ON THIS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL GUARDRAILS.
>> YEAH. YOU ALL MENTIONED ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION PROCESSES.
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?
>> GENERALLY FOR ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION, I KNOW KIM MENTIONED THAT, BUT TYPICALLY WITH ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION, WE ACTUALLY HIT THE SWEET SPOT.
WHEN YOU GET SOMEONE THAT HAS A DEGREE IN MATH AND THEY WANT TO BE AN ALGEBRA TEACHER, THEY GET PERMISSION TO GET A CERTIFICATION IN THAT AREA.
THEY GET INTO THAT AREA, THAT'S WHAT THEY GET THEIR CERTIFICATE IN.
I REMEMBER, I WOULD GO TO RECRUITING FAIRS INTENTIONALLY, NOT EDUCATION-RELATED.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU'D GO TO UNIVERSITY THAT HAVE STRONG SCIENCE AND MATH PROGRAMS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT TEACHING.
I WOULD GO AND I ACTUALLY WOULD BE ONE OF THE VERY FEW DISTRICTS THERE AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT BEING TEACHERS BECAUSE THEY HAD THE MOST ADVANCED DEGREES IN MATH AND SCIENCE TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST.
THAT WOULD BE THE TARGET AUDIENCE.
WHEN WE HAVE NO OTHER TEACHERS, I KNOW THAT AT LAYMEN FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS A POINT IN TIME ALL THE WAY UP TO AUGUST WE WERE LOOKING FOR FOR MATH TEACHERS AND COULDN'T FILL THEM AND HAD TO BE REALLY CREATIVE.
ONE OF DR. WRIGHT'S GOALS THIS YEAR THAT HE COMMUNICATED TO THE BOARD WAS HE WANTED TO SEE A MODEL WHEREBY I'M THE MASTER TEACHER AND THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS ARE WANTING TO BE TEACHERS, AND THAT I WOULD CIRCULATE THROUGH YOUR CLASSROOMS MODELING FOR YOU AS YOU PREPPED FOR YOUR EXAM.
THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE THERE IS THAT YOU'D HAVE NO ASPECTS CERTIFICATION YOU MAY NOT HAVE ONE AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE ONE.
WE'RE BACK AT GROUND ZERO, WE'RE BACK. IT'S NOWHERE.
THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO DEAL EITHER THREE OF YOU AS WE IMPLEMENT THAT MODEL THAT DR. WRIGHT TALKED ABOUT.
HE GIVES US THAT FLEXIBILITY TO GROW OUR OWN, TO BUILD OUR OWN IN A VERY ALTERNATIVE WAY, NOT NECESSARILY THE ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION ROUTE.
THAT'S VERY TYPICAL. THEY TYPICALLY WILL COME WITH THE RIGHT CERTIFICATION IN MOST CASES OR THEIR PROGRAMS WON'T ALLOW THEM TO TAKE THAT JOB.
>> I GUESS BEST-CASE SCENARIO, LET'S USE THE MATH EXAMPLE FOR ONE WITH A VERY ADVANCED MATH DEGREE.
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN FOR MY FULL-FLEDGED, EVEN WITH THE DOI EXCEPTION.
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN FORM A FULL-FLEDGED TEACHER AS THAT PERFECT CASE SCENARIO?
>> IT'S ABOUT A YEAR, TYPICALLY TAKES ABOUT A YEAR.
>> THEN WHAT WOULD BE A SCENARIO WHERE I DON'T HAVE THE APPROPRIATE DEGREE, BUT I WANT TO BE TEACHING BARBER AND COSMETOLOGY OR SOMETHING?
>> TYPICALLY LIKE BARBER COSMETOLOGY, WE DON'T REQUIRE THEM.
THEY GO THROUGH THE DOI PROCESS AND THEY TYPICALLY WILL HAVE A STATE LICENSURE TO CUT HAIR OR TO BARBER.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT AS A VALID CERTIFICATION.
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO HAVE AN ASPECT CERTIFICATION.
>> INDUSTRY-BASED CERTIFICATION.
>> OKAY. THEN WHAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SCENARIO? WE'RE SAYING A YEAR FOR THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO.
>> IT SO TYPICALLY IT WOULD BE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE FOR EXAMPLE, SCIENCE, YOU'D HAVE SCIENCE TEACHERS THAT ARE NOT CERTIFIED FOR EXAMPLE.
THEY HAVE A COMPOSITE SCIENCE CERTIFICATION WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO TEACH EVERY SCIENCE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT.
WE CAN TAKE AN EXISTING SCIENCE TEACHER AND SAY, LET'S DOI YOU FOR THIS YEAR.
IN SCIENCE, YOU'RE ALREADY TEACHING SCIENCE.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE CERTIFICATION TO TEACH THIS SCIENCE.
WE'RE GOING TO DOI YOU, WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT YOU, GROW YOU OVER THIS NEXT YEAR TO GET THE CERTIFICATE AND GET THEM TO BE CERTIFIED WITHIN THE YEAR.
THAT'S THE IDEAL SCENARIO THAT SOMEONE ALREADY HAS SOME CONTENT KNOWLEDGE IN THAT FIELD WE JUST NEED TO WORK TOWARDS CERTIFICATION.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON AMENDMENT TWO? I HAD A COUPLE AND I HAVE SOUND SIMILAR THOUGHTS WERE ALL THINKING ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH.
ONE OF THE WORDS THAT GIVES ME PAUSE IS HOW THIS IS ALL IN ONE SENTENCE.
IN MY QUESTION THAT I SUBMITTED, I RECOMMENDED THAT WE BREAK OUT.
THE TEACHERS OF SECONDARY MATH, SCIENCE, AND LOW COURSES.
I LIKE THE WORD MAY NOT REQUIRE STATE CERTIFICATION AS OPPOSED TO SHALL NOT REQUIRE.
[02:15:02]
MAYBE SAY SOMETHING LIKE WHAT YOU SAID AS APPROVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT.I WANT YOU GUYS TO MAKE THIS SUPER HARD.
I WANT YOUR HR SYSTEM, WHICH I KNOW ALREADY HAS ALL WEIRD STEPS AND PROCESSES AND IT'S HARD MAKE THIS REALLY HARD.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN DO A WORKAROUND OR IS NOT A LOOPHOLE.
SUPERINTENDENT HAS TO APPROVE IT.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WANT IT TO BE LOTS OF HOOPS YOU HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH FOR THIS PARTICULAR HIGHER.
I WOULD PREFER IT TO BE BROKEN OUT AS ITS OWN SEPARATE SENTENCE, NOT SQUISHED TOGETHER WITH CTE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE A SLIPPERY SLOPE SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO HARD STOP.
IN ADDITION, WE MAY NOT REQUIRE STATE CERTIFICATION FOR SECONDARY MATH SCIENCE LOT.
ONLY AS APPROVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THEY PUT THAT IN HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ADDED SUPERINTENDENT.
I HAD SAID AS OUTLINED BY THE ADMINISTRATION, POLICIES, BLAH, BLAH, WHICH I STILL THINK ARE IMPORTANT.
I DO THINK WE NEED SOME ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES, PROCEDURES, HOW YOU WOULD GO THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS, AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE ON THE HR TECHNOLOGY SIDE.
BUT THIS IS BETTER, BUT I STILL THINK IT SHOULD BE ITS OWN SENTENCE DEALING WITH THAT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHER PEOPLE FEEL.
BUT THAT MIGHT HELP CREATE SOME DISTINCTION BETWEEN CTE AND CORE INSTRUCTION BECAUSE THAT GIVES ME A LOT OF ANXIETY.
ANYTHING ELSE TEAM ON AMENDMENT 2?
>> THAT WOULD BE POLICY DK AND ALSO DFBB.
THOSE ARE IN YOUR PACKET IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.
>> DK FRIENDS, IT'S PAGE 12 OF YOUR PACKET.
IF YOU START AT THE BACK AND GO THREE FORWARD, YOU'LL GET TO DK.
I'VE NUMBERED THEM FOR MYSELF SO I CAN REFER FOR YOU ALL, SO IT'S TOWARD THE BACK OF THAT STAPLED PACKET.
NEXT AMENDMENT. MR. ROBINSON, ARE YOU DOING THAT ONE OR DR. MEDINA?
>> WE'RE ASKING IS FOR THE EXEMPTION FROM THE 10-DAY NOTICE REQUIREMENT TO NON-RENEWAL OR TO TERMINATE A TERM CONTRACT SPECIFICALLY FOR PRINCIPALS.
THIS EXEMPTION WOULD ALLOW THE SUPERINTENDENT TO RECOMMEND CONTRACTS IN JUNE ONCE WE RECEIVE DATA SUCH AS THE STAR DATA.
THE CURRENT STATUTE REQUIRES BOTH PROBATIONARY AND TERM CONTRACTS THAT WE NOTIFY THE EMPLOYEE, THE INDIVIDUAL UNDER THE CONTRACT 10 DAYS BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF INSTRUCTION THAT WE ARE GOING TO NON-RENEW OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO TERMINATE THEM.
WELL, IF YOU PLAY THIS OUT, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN PRINCIPAL EVALUATIONS COMPLETED.
PRINCIPAL EVALUATIONS AREN'T COMPLETED UNTIL JUNE.
IN MOST CASES, WE DON'T HAVE EVEN PRELIMINARY DATA IN SOME CASES OF STAR DATA, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN TRANSITION.
THIS FIRST YEAR, WE STILL MAY NOT HAVE ALL THE DATA.
BUT MOVING FORWARD, WE TYPICALLY WOULD HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY DATA IN JUNE.
THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO FINISH EVALUATIONS, GET PRELIMINARY DATA BEFORE EVEN TAKING AN ACTION ON TERMINATING OR NON-RENEWING A CAMPUS ADMINISTRATOR OR PRINCIPAL.
>> WE'LL STOP THERE AND OPEN UP DR. WRIGHT. YOU HAVE SOMETHING FIRST?
>> YEAH. I WANTED TO JUST SUGGEST A CHANGE.
WE DON'T EVER WANT STAR TO BE OUR ONLY FOCUS.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SUGGEST DR. MEDINA ON THIS ONE IS THAT TO RECOMMEND CONTRACTS IN JUNE WANTS ALL END OF THE YEAR DATA FOR EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT IS AVAILABLE.
THAT WAY WE'RE ENCOMPASSING ALL THE IBC DATA, THE END OF THE YEAR DATA FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THE STAR DATED BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR MOVING IT TO JUNE IS SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE AND NOT JUST STAR.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT CORRECTION BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.
>> DR. WRIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POINTING THAT OUT.
THAT'S EXACTLY ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD, IS WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO PROMOTE THERE? I KNOW THAT WE SAY WE'RE NOT THE END-ALL BE-ALL WITH STAR.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT CHANGE.
THAT MAKES MORE SENSE TO OUR PHILOSOPHY OF OUR DISTRICT.
I LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, I WILL SAY WHEN WE HAD A PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE TEACHER CONTRACT.
[02:20:04]
AT ONE POINT, THIS WAS WAY LONG AGO WHEN I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNION.THEY SAID WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT DOWN TO 10 DAYS OF NOTIFICATION.
WE WERE OUTRAGED AS TEACHERS THAT THEY WOULD CHANGE IT TO 10 DAYS RIGHT BACK THEN BECAUSE WE HAD A 45 DAY NOTICE BEFORE.
TEN DAYS WAS OUTRAGEOUS TO US.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM PRINCIPLES, HI, PRINCIPLES.
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THIS.
I UNDERSTAND THE COMPILING OF ALL THE DATA, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
BUT IF THERE REALLY IS SOME SERIOUS NEED TO TERMINATE ANY PRINCIPLE, THAT WOULD IT BE DOCUMENTED OVER AND OVER.
THIS PIECE IS NOT GOING TO BE LIKE THE SOLE REASON.
THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS FOR DOCUMENTING ANY EMPLOYEE MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE TERMINATED.
BEFORE I WOULD STAMP MY NAME ON THIS, APPROVING THIS, OR THINKING THAT THIS IS OKAY.
I WANT TO HEAR FROM PRINCIPLES JUST LIKE I HEARD FROM TEACHERS WHEN THEY TRIED TO CHANGE OUR DATES AS WELL.
IT MAKES SENSE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, DR. WRIGHT, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
WE'VE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
WELL, WE STILL DON'T HAVE HOW CAN WE APPROVE THE CONTRACT IF WE STILL DON'T HAVE THE LAST PIECE OF DATA COMING IN, WE STILL DON'T HAVE THOSE EOCS AND SUCH, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I DO WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE FEEDBACK AND INPUT FROM PRINCIPLES.
BUT MAKING THAT CHANGE DOES HELP.
MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SWALLOW, BUT NEEDING SOME INPUT FROM PRINCIPLES OUT THERE.
>> YEAH. ONE THOUGHT AROUND THIS TOO REMEMBER WHEN WE APPROVED GOING TO YOUR CONTRACTS FOR PRINCIPALS AND FOR TEACHERS.
THIS FITS IN NICELY WITH THAT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM NOTICE WELL AHEAD OF TIME FOR THOSE THAT ARE AT THE END OF THEIR TERM.
SAY THEY HAVE A TWO-YEAR CONTRACT AND WE'RE WAITING UNTIL JUNE TO GET THIS INFORMATION.
THE REASON THAT THIS WORKS IS BECAUSE THERE'S STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND SO WE'RE NOT TERMINATING THEM WITH ONLY 10 DAYS NOTICE.
THEY WOULD HAVE ANOTHER YEAR TO DO THAT.
THE ONES THAT WE WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU, SO SAY WE CYCLED THROUGH AND PERSON DIDN'T GET A TWO-YEAR ROLLOVER AND THEY HAVE ONE YEAR LEFT THEN WE WOULD BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU IN FEBRUARY.
THEN THEY WOULD HAVE 45 PLUS DAYS TO WALK THROUGH THE PROCESS.
IT'S JUST REALLY FOR THOSE IN THAT CYCLE.
>> THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'M READING.
I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARLY ARTICULATED.
I DON T THINK IT'S CLEAR LIKE HOW YOU ARE SAYING IT IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'M READING IN BLACK AND WHITE.
I STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM PRINCIPLES, BUT YOUR EXPLANATION HELPS A LITTLE. THANK YOU.
EVERY YEAR WE ARE EVALUATING THESE CONTRACTS AND OUR BOARD IS ASKED TO LOOK AT THESE AND WE HAVE VERY LITTLE DATA.
WE DON'T GET THE HR RECORDS, WE DON'T SEE ANY OF THAT.
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE TWO-YEAR CONTRACT SITUATION THAT DOES HELP WITH IT.
BUT I FEEL LIKE WE GO INTO THAT BLIND, FRANKLY, SO TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME.
THEY WOULD NEVER EVALUATE WITH NO DATA.
YOU GET THE DATA AND THEN YOU GET EVALUATED.
I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS FELT BACKWARDS TO ME AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD.
THIS IS A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE. NEXT UP.
>> SURE. IF I CAN SAY ONE LAST THING ABOUT THAT ONE, THAT IS POLICY DFBB, THAT'S DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THAT.
CURRENTLY, WE DO NOT HAVE A DFAB, WHICH WOULD [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOMETHING TO OUR ALPHABET SOUP.
>> [INAUDIBLE] RECOMMENDS THAT WE ADD DFAB THAT THIN REFERENCES.
THE INNOVATION PLAN AS WELL AS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE BOARD SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE OF THIS DECISION FOR TERMINATION TO THE PRINCIPAL NO LATER THAN JUNE THE 30TH.
THAT IS DFAB THOSE ARE THE TWO POLICIES.
[02:25:02]
>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? AMENDMENT 4?
>> AMENDMENT 4 IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION OF PAY OR SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY FOR A TEACHER.
THIS AMENDMENT IS LOOKING AT THE DUE PROCESS SPECIFICALLY THAT INCLUDES THE NOTICE.
RIGHT NOW BEFORE AN EMPLOYEE CAN BE SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY, THE DISTRICT MUST PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE EMPLOYEE OF THE PROPOSED ACTION.
THERE HAS TO BE AN EXPLANATION FOR THE ACTION, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING WITH A TEA HEARING OFFICER.
THIS PROCESS CAN BE EXTREMELY LONG AND NOT ALWAYS WHAT THE DISTRICT WANTS TO DO.
IN RARE OCCASIONS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT ARRESTS, WHERE SOMEONE'S IN JAIL HASN'T BEEN RELEASED.
THERE'S A HEINOUS CRIME THAT WE HAVE A CONFESSION OR REALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT CRIMINAL LEGAL ACTION THAT'S HAPPENING, THAT'S TAKEN THAT PERSON AWAY FROM THE CLASSROOM.
REALLY THIS IS JUST CHANGING THE PROCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW THE BOARD TO SUSPEND THAT PAY WITHOUT DOING THE NOTIFICATION, THE HEARING, AND ALL OF THOSE STEPS.
>> QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? YES, DR. WRIGHT.
>> THIS ONE ACTUALLY STEMMED FROM YOU GUYS BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, WHAT CAN WE DO TO CHANGE THE LAW? WE FOUND THAT WE COULD EXEMPT OURSELVES FROM THE LAW IN THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO WHERE YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS CONFESSED TO MURDER, TO CHILD MOLESTATION, TO WHATEVER IT IS, THEN WE CAN THROUGH DOI, TAKE THIS ACTION.
THAT'S WHERE THIS STEM FROM BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME WAS JUST DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH POLITICS AND SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOING TO LEAD TO ACTION.
THIS ONE WAS, WHAT CAN WE DO TO CONTROL THE PROCESS IN THOSE REALLY SEVERE SITUATIONS?
>> I LIKE IT AND I LIKED THAT IT REQUIRES BOARD ACTION TO CONFIRM.
THIS BODY WOULD BE THE DETERMINATE OF THAT.
I SAW A LOT OF HANDS GO UP AFTER DR. WRIGHT SPOKE.
I'M GLAD YOU BROKE THE ICE BECAUSE I WASN'T SO SURE WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT.
I WAS HOPING IT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS.
BUT NOW, MR. ROSCOE, I'LL START WITH YOU AND THEN I'M GOING TO GO OVER HERE.
>> YES, I AM GLAD HE UNTIES OUR HANDS RIGHT TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE IS GOING TO BE CASES THAT ARE GOING TO BE EXTREME.
THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW LEGALLY WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THINGS.
HOWEVER, THIS UNTIES OUR HANDS A LOT.
AGAIN MS. PETRIE BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER US.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DR. WRIGHT RETIRES IN 10 YEARS? WHAT HAPPENS THEN? I'M JUST THINKING AGAIN OF WHAT DO WE NEED TO ADMINISTRATIVELY PUT TO PAPER? WE NEED TO ARTICULATE SOME OF THAT.
THAT IS MY SUGGESTION ON THIS, BUT I'M ALL ABOUT IT.
>> THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT FOR GIVING US SOME OTHER IDEAS.
BUT DEFINITELY, LIKE IN OUR EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, I WOULD IMAGINE WE HAVE SOME THINGS THAT ARE LISTED AS YOU VIOLATED THIS POLICY, THEN YOU HAVE THINGS THAT ARE MORE EGREGIOUS TO THE EXAMPLES THAT WERE PROVIDED.
BUT I THINK WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD DEFINED PARAMETERS OR THE WHAT WAS IT EARLIER THE GUARDRAILS.
IF WE HAD SOME GUARDRAILS IN PLACE FOR THIS ONE, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT OPPORTUNITY AS A BOARD MEMBER TO SAY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EMPLOYEE, WHILE THEY'RE ON ADMIN LEAVE, THEY ARE NOT BEING PAID BECAUSE OF THE ALLEGATIONS OR CHARGES THAT THEY'VE BEEN CHARGED WITH WHEN THEY MEET THAT THRESHOLD.
>> THANK YOU FOR UNTYING OUR HANDS AND FINDING THAT WAY, DR. WRIGHT, WE CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO FIND CASES, I GUESS, OR ANY OF THAT NATURE WHEN YOU HAVE ADMITTED TO COMMITTING CRIMES.
THERE ARE CASES LIKE THIS THAT DO EXIST, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR UNTYING OUR HANDS.
ABSOLUTELY, WE DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU WHEN YOU HEARD OUR KIDS.
>> YES. EVEN IF IT'S NOT CLEAR TO THE LISTENER AT HOME, YOU CAN CONFESS TO A HEINOUS CRIME AND WE STILL HAVE TO PAY YOU BY LAW.
NOT ANYMORE AFTER THIS IS IN EFFECT.
THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU, MS. HALL.
[02:30:03]
>> THE NEXT ONE WE'LL STAY HERE.
>> AMENDMENT NUMBER 5 IS GOING TO BE AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO ISSUE A TERM CONTRACT TO A TEACHER.
WHO HAS BEEN IN PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR AT LEAST FIVE OF THE PREVIOUS EIGHT YEARS.
THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO GIVE THEM ONE YEAR PROBATION FOR UP TO THREE ADDITIONAL.
AT THIS POINT SOMETIMES WE'LL HIRE A TEACHER WHO MAYBE HAS BEEN IN A DIFFERENT, ESPECIALLY COVID TEACHERS.
THEY HAD A DIFFERENT SITUATION AND THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TEACHING FOR SEVEN YEARS.
BUT THERE ARE NEW TO US AND THAT PRINCIPLE HAS ONE YEAR TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT TO KEEP THEM AND GIVE THEM A TERM CONTRACT OR IF THEY WANT TO TERMINATE THEM AND NOT BRING THEM BACK THE NEXT YEAR.
THIS IS REALLY ABOUT GIVING OUR PRINCIPLES THE FLEXIBILITY TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO EVALUATE, TO GROW, TO INVEST IN THAT TEACHER AND REALLY GIVE THEM THAT SECOND CHANCE OR THAT SECOND YEAR, THIRD YEAR IF THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED.
BUT IT'S REALLY ABOUT PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY TO OUR PRINCIPLES, BUT ALSO GIVING US A CHANCE AS, MR. ROBINSON WORKS SO HARD TO RECRUIT THESE TEACHERS, TO GIVE US A CHANCE TO INVEST IN THEM, GIVE US ACCESS TO OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, REALLY GROW THEM INSTEAD OF ONLY HAVING THAT ONE-YEAR TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
>> QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? YES. DR. WRIGHT WANTS TO ANSWER.
>> I KNOW I KEEP TELLING HIM, BUT THESE WERE REALLY STRATEGIC AND PURPOSEFUL.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THE METHOD BEHIND THE MADNESS.
WE HAVE THE PHILOSOPHY THAT WE WANT TO GROW BEFORE WE GO.
[NOISE] THE EXAMPLE THAT I LIKE TO USE, I'M AN ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL.
I HIRED SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT THAT HAD TAUGHT FIVE OF THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
THE PERSON THAT ALWAYS TAUGHT IN FIFTH GRADE, THE ONLY JOB I HAD AVAILABLE WAS A KINDERGARTEN JOB, TOTALLY DIFFERENT SCOPE OF WORK.
THAT FIRST YEAR, THEY WERE LEARNING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EARLY CHILDHOOD AND FIFTH GRADE.
IF I LOOKED AT THE JOB PERFORMANCE, THEY'RE PROBABLY STILL DEVELOPING.
BUT I WANT TO GIVE THEM ONE MORE YEAR TO GROW.
ACCORDING TO THE LAW, YOU CAN'T, SO WE WANT TO EXEMPT BECAUSE IF A PRINCIPAL HAD TO MAKE THAT DECISION, THEY MAY SAY, I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE.
THEN THEY PROBABLY WOULD HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO GIVE THEM THE TEACHER SHORTAGE IN THAT SAME VEIN.
THEN YOU HAVE A VICIOUS CYCLE.
IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY COACH AND GROW PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY NEED SOME EXTRA HELP.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL, THE CAPACITY, BUT THEY MAY BE IN A BRAND NEW POSITION AND WE NEED TO GIVE THEM AN EXTRA TIME.
INSTEAD OF JUST CUTTING THEM LOOSE, THIS GIVES US 1-2 MORE YEARS TO COACH THEM UP.
THAT'S THE METHOD TO THE MADNESS BEHIND THAT ONE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FOLLOWING ALONG, YOU CAN SEE THE LANGUAGE CHANGES IN DCA.
THE NEXT ONE IS I'M TRYING TO.
YES. I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT.
AS PART OF HOUSE BILL 3, ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF HOUSE BILL 3 WAS TO REQUIRE A TEACHERS AS WELL AS CAMPUS PRINCIPALS TO ENGAGE IN READING LITERACY ACADEMIES WITHIN THEIR FIRST YEAR.
WHAT WE'VE HEARD REALLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAS BEEN VERY PAINFUL STORIES SOMETIMES FROM TEACHERS WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO GET THEIR CLASSROOM GOING, THE CLASSROOM ROUTINES AND MANAGEMENT AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
AND WE DO ALSO KNOW THAT RESEARCH TELLS US THAT BY THE TIME TEACHERS ARE WELL INTO THEIR THIRD, IF NOT BEYOND, THAT'S WHERE THEY REALLY START ENGAGING IN THE CONTENT.
IT'S A LITTLE COUNTER-INTUITIVE.
THE CURRENT STATUTE IS, SO WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS IT WOULD GIVE US TWO YEARS FOR THOSE SAME TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS TO ENGAGE IN THE READING ACADEMIES, COMPLETE THE READING ACADEMIES AND IN RARE SITUATIONS WOULD AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO ALLOW FOR A THIRD YEAR IF THERE WAS A RARE SITUATION THAT WE NEEDED TO DO.
SOMETIMES WE HIRE PEOPLE MID-YEAR, SOMETIMES WE HIRE PEOPLE LATE IN THE YEAR.
WE KNOW THAT WE WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THOSE.
BUT THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF THIS AND WE RECEIVED SOME GOOD SUPPORT ALL THE WAY AROUND ON THIS ONE.
>> POLICY, DMA, I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT DID NOT EXIST.
IT'S ONE OF THE LAST PAGES OF THE PACKET.
THE VERY LAST PAGE, DMA LOCAL.
DID WE HAVE THIS BEFORE OR DID THEY ADD?
>> THIS ONE WAS HERE, BUT IT WAS VERY SHORT.
[02:35:02]
SO THE BOTTOM PART WOULD BE THE REVISION.>> OKAY. QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? MR. SEVERANCE.
>> JUST WROTE THIS READING ACADEMY, I KNOW IT LIKE TWO BAD WORDS TO SAY THIS OUT LOUD, BUT YOU CAN START AND STOP THAT TRAINING.
ONE CAN YOU START AND STOP OR ONCE YOU START, YOU HAVE TO FINISH THE PROGRAM CONSECUTIVE DAYS TIME, [OVERLAPPING]
>> [INAUDIBLE] UNTIL YOU ARE DONE.
>> ONCE YOU START IT, YOU HAVE A YEAR TO COMPLETE IT?
>> WE'RE JUST SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE, THEY CAN START AT YOUR FIRST YEAR OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START AT YOUR SECOND YEAR.
>> YEAH. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD CONSULT WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND DAOS AND SUCH TO SAY, OKAY, FOR US AND HAYES, WE'RE GOING TO START THAT SECOND YEAR.
LET THEM FOCUS ON ALL OF THE OTHER TRAININGS THAT WE REQUIRE NEW PEOPLE TO BE A PART OF.
THEN LET'S REALLY, IN THAT SECOND YEAR, HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH THE READING ACADEMIES.
IN RARE SITUATION THAT THIRD YEAR.
>> THEN, I'M NOT SAYING THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO DO IT IN THAT THIRD YEAR, THE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT MAYBE IT'S SOME GUARD WORLDS, THE NEW WORD FOR TONIGHT, BUT LIKE SOME RULES ON WHAT WOULD MEAN A THIRD YEAR, SOMETHING, YOU'D HAVE TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN LIKE NOT WELL, MAYBE I'LL LOOK AT IT NEXT YEAR, JUST PUT IT OFF, BUT JUST SOME LIKE.
>> A LATE HIRE WOULD BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE.
IT'S HIRED MIDYEAR, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FINISH.
>> SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY, EXTENDED LEAVE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT JUST SPECIFIC RULES AND NOT JUST YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT YEAR 2 AND LIKE, I'LL JUST GO AND DO IN YEAR 3 BECAUSE I CAN DO IT IN YEAR 3, PUT SOME RULES IN PLACE FOR THAT THIRD YEAR.
>> OTHER EXAMPLES WOULD BE CURRENTLY WE WERE JUST TRYING TO ACCLIMATE CULTURALLY, LITERALLY CULTURALLY OUR TEACHERS THAT ARE COMING FROM SPAIN, COMING FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THEM ENCULTURATED HERE AND TO GIVE THEM THAT ADDITIONAL TIME IS GOING TO BE VERY, HELPFUL.
>> NO, I LOVE IT. I LOVE TO GIVE THEM EXTRA TIME.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO KEEP KICKING THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD AS LONG AS THEY CAN JUST GET IT AND DO IT. THANK YOU.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS DR. PEREZ GONZALEZ?
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING INTO THE SECOND AND THE THIRD YEAR BECAUSE I KNOW READING ACADEMIES, I'LL JUST FROM HEARING FROM TEACHERS AND FRIENDS.
JUST THE MERE FACT THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO HAVE THESE EXTRA YEARS TO GET A COMPLETE IT.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT SHE SAID, THE TEACHERS THAT WE GET FROM, THAT WE HAVE FROM SPAIN AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
THEY NEED THAT YEAR TO JUST BECOME ACCLIMATED TO THE NEW EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
I TRULY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE'RE TAKING A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT THE READING ACADEMIES AND THAT WE'RE THERE TO SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, BOARD. I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT.
WE HAVE ONE MORE? ONE MORE. [INAUDIBLE]
>> I GET THE TOP ONE MORE TIME.
DR. MEDINA, DON'T KICK ME AWAY FROM THE MIC.
>> AMENDMENT 7 IS A SIMILAR RECOMMENDATION, EXCEPT FOR WITH THE BUMPER GUARDS OR GUARDRAILS, OR WHATEVER WE'RE CALLING THEM TODAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO THROW A BUNCH OF THEM OUT THERE AND WHATEVER STICKS TO THE WALL IS GOING TO BE PERFECT.
>> THIS ONE ACTUALLY IS A HIGHLY QUALIFIED CERTIFIED TEACHER COMING TO US FROM OUT-OF-STATE.
THEY JUST DON'T CURRENTLY HOLD THE STATE OF TEXAS CERTIFICATION.
NOW, WE KNOW TA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE RECIPROCITY FOR SOME OF OUR OUT-OF-STATE PERSONS.
BUT TA LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS SHORT-STAFFED CURRENTLY AND SOMETIMES THIS PROCESS TAKES QUITE SOME TIME.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THE PROCESS FOR TA, THEY HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY BUILD A PROFILE.
THEY HAVE TO APPLY AND PAY FOR REVIEW OF CREDENTIALS AND THEN THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE OUT-OF-STATE CERTIFICATION, AS WELL AS THEIR TRANSCRIPTS AND THEN WE WAIT.
WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR TA TO GET BACK TO THIS.
SOMETIMES THAT PROCESS TAKES SOME TIME.
THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO IMMEDIATELY OFFER THE OUT-OF-STATE HIGHLY CERTIFIED PERSON A JOB WITH THIS AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT ON THAT.
THAT'S WHAT AMENDMENT 7 IS ALL ABOUT [OVERLAPPING].
>> YEAH, IT REFERENCES THE SAME POLICY DBA.
I'M ASSUMING THIS IS ONLY I MEAN, WOULDN'T WE HIRE OUT-OF-STATE FOR ALL THINGS, I'M GOING TO TALK INTO THE MIC.
I MEAN, BECAUSE I HAVE FRIENDS, WE KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING HERE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT ARE TEACHERS.
>> THAT WOULD BE ANY OUT-OF-STATE CERTIFICATION.
IT'S ALSO CONTEMPLATED IN POLICY DK, WHICH I NOTICED THAT.
>> YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.
THERE'S CERTAINLY THERE'S ANOTHER POLICY THAT THIS MIGHT BE.
>> IT'S D, THE POLICIES ARE DBA AND DK.
[02:40:01]
>> YOU'LL NOTICE AT THE BOTTOM OF DK, IT ALSO HAS AN OUT-OF-STATE SENTENCE.
IN ADDITION, THE SUPERINTENDENT CAN APPROVE A REQUEST FOR A QUALIFIED TEACHER WHO'S CERTIFIED OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, [OVERLAPPING] WHICH OF COURSE, ARE GRAY AREA.
YES, IT WOULD BE OTHER CONTENT AREAS.
THE AREAS THAT WE CAN'T EXEMPT OURSELVES FROM ARE BILINGUAL EDUCATION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
THOSE ARE TWO THAT ARE NONPERMISSIBLE WITH DOI.
>> GOT IT. QUESTIONS ON THE OUT-OF-STATE TEACHER AMENDMENT 7, MR VELA?
>> YEAH. WHAT IF THEY'RE NATIONALLY CERTIFIED?
>> I WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION IN TERMS OF THE CONTENT AND THE DEPTH OF CONTENT AND HOW IT ALIGNS WITH ANY OUR ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED HERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE NOT CONTEMPLATING THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION AS A REPLACEMENT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT STATE CERTIFICATIONS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, DR. PEREZ GONZALEZ?
>> SORRY, TRUSTEE BELLA, BUT NO.
IF YOU'RE A NATIONAL BOARD-CERTIFIED TEACHER, THAT THERE'S NO STATE CERTIFICATION CORRELATIONS WHATSOEVER, IT'S JUST THE HIGHEST CERTIFICATION A TEACHER CAN ATTAIN.
IT'S JUST GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STATE BOARD AT ALL NOW.
IT DOES IMPACT HERE BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU THE AUTOMATIC MONIES FROM TIA. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
REALLY, I SEE A LOT OF FOCUS ON PEDAGOGY VERSUS CONTENT.
BEING A REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER, BEST PRACTICES IN TEACHING.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM? MR SEVERANCE?
>> WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF BUMPER RAILS, GUARDRAILS.
IN THE TIMELINE, IT SAYS ON JANUARY 23RD, WE SAID THAT WE POSSIBLY APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THIS.
WITH ALL OF THIS, WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN CAN WE EXPECT ALL OF THAT TO BE MEMORIALIZED IN A DOCUMENT THAT WE CAN REVIEW PRIOR TO US GETTING HERE MONDAY TO VOTE ON THIS IF WE ARE ACTUALLY VOTING ON THIS ON MONDAY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE ALREADY HAVE ITEMS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS WOULD WE DO THESE PIECES? I CAN COMMIT TO HAVING THAT TO YOU AS PART OF THE UPLOADED DOCUMENTS NEXT FRIDAY SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT THOSE WOULD BE.
IF I CAN GET THEM UP EARLIER, I CERTAINLY WILL DO THAT.
>> DR. WRIGHT ARTICULATED SOME OF THAT STUFF A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS.
I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE IT'S LAID OUT TO ALL OF OURS, ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD. THANK YOU.
>> I THINK DR MANU WE MIGHT WANT TO SEPARATE THESE AS SEPARATE ITEMS AND VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY.
LET'S MAKE THEM THEIR OWN TRANSMITTAL.
>> YOU BASICALLY HAVE THE INFORMATION, WE'LL JUST DO THEM AS SEPARATE ITEMS. THEN I THINK THE DBA POLICY, WHAT I'M HEARING IS THE MOST CRITICAL IN TERMS OF [OVERLAPPING] SHARPENING OUR PENCILS AND SEEING WHAT ELSE WE CAN PUT IN THERE, IN THE POLICIES SO THAT WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT VOTING ON IT.
THE REST OF THEM DIDN'T GIVE ME AS MUCH HEARTBURN AND WE DIDN'T HEAR FROM AND WE'RE GOING TO WALK THROUGH THESE POLICIES SEPARATELY HERE IN A MINUTE.
BUT IN OUR BOARD BOOK, DFAB AND DK ARE NOT OUTLINED AS SEPARATE AGENDA ITEMS, SO YOU'LL ADD THOSE
>> BECAUSE WE HAVE THEM HERE NOW.
CAN I JUST GO BACK TO THAT? I LOVE THE OUT-OF-STATE TEACHER THING.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE FROM CALIFORNIA AND COLORADO.
HOPEFULLY, THEIR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS ARE PRETTY GOOD BECAUSE I WANT US TO SCOOP UP SOME OF THOSE TEACHERS, JUST SAYING.
SEPARATE ITEMS NEXT WEEK, WE'LL WORK ON THAT.
>> THEN WE'LL BRING THE ADMINISTRATIVE PRECISION.
THEN I JUST WANTED TO CLOSE WITH JUST SAYING HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S FLEXIBLE THINKING AROUND THESE.
I NEVER THOUGHT HONESTLY, OVER 30 YEARS OF DOING THIS WORK, THAT I WOULD BE PRESENTING A DOI LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF A BOARD OF TRUSTEES EVER.
THINKING ABOUT ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF GETTING THE HIGHEST QUALITY TEACHER THAT WE CAN FIND IN FRONT OF KIDS, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE STANDING HERE DOING THIS.
IT'S WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE, BUT PERHAPS SOMEONE THAT HAS A DEGREE,
[02:45:03]
AN ADVANCED DEGREE IN MANY CASES IN A RELATED AREA.IF THAT IS OUR BEST OPTION, I WOULD RATHER DO THAT THAN TO HAVE A SUBSTITUTE THAT GOES OVER AND OVER IN AND OUT INCONSISTENCY FOR STUDENTS, AND WE KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR KIDS.
HERE, I'M HAVING TO THINK DIFFERENTLY AROUND A LOT OF THINGS.
THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING US TO THINK DEEPER AND THOSE GUARDRAILS AND WE'LL GET THOSE TO YOU IN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> DR. MEDINA, WE APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING AT ALL OF THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES OF THE DOI PLAN TO HELP TO CREATE SOME CREATIVE OUTLETS FOR US FOR NOT ONLY HIRING BUT FOR EVALUATING AND FOR SOME DIFFERENT AVENUES, CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AS A BOARD.
WHO KNEW THAT THE DOI PLAN HAD ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT WE COULD LOOK AT.
MS OROSCO RAISED HER HAND AND DISTRACTED ME.
I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I'LL THINK OF IT IN A MINUTE. MS [INAUDIBLE] .
>> DR. WRIGHT, TWO THINGS IS IT POSSIBLE SINCE A DLT BROKE OUT IN SMALL GROUPS TO DISCUSS EACH, I'M ASSUMING THEY CAME BACK IN LARGE GROUP TO DISCUSS OUR FINDINGS.
WE CAN HAVE A TALLY OF THEIR VOTE, LIKE ALL OF DLT AND NOT BY TABLE GROUPS, SINCE THEY ALL HEARD THE EXPLANATIONS AND EVERYTHING.
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT INSTEAD OF THE TABLE GROUP VOTE, JUST GETTING EACH INDIVIDUAL TO CAST A VOTE?
>> YES. LIKE YOU'VE DONE BEFORE AND WHOLE GROUP, THEY INDIVIDUALLY CAST A VOTE.
SINCE THEY HEARD ALL THE AMENDMENTS WHEN THEY REPORTED BACK TO THEIR WHOLE GROUP, RIGHT?
>> YEAH. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, WE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THEM AND ASK THEM TO VOTE.
>> THERE'S SO MANY CHANGES, SO IT MIGHT TAKE A MINUTE.
>> YES, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I DON'T KNOW,.
>> ROSCOE, I KNOW THAT THE TFEB DBA CERTIFICATION WAS ARE THERE PARTICULAR ONES? I KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM RECEIVED PRETTY GOOD SUPPORT IN ANY SETTING, I KNOW THAT OUT-OF-STATE ONE DID. I KNOW THAT.
>> I'M NOT BOTHERED WITH IT [OVERLAPPING].
>> I CAN ASK THEM ABOUT SPECIFIC.
>> I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MATH AND SCIENCE WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE ONE SURE.
>> AMENDMENT 3, YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORDING ON THAT BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME MORE INPUT ON THAT.
>> WHAT I CAN DO, TRUSTEE OROSCO IS WE RESEND THAT OUT, AND I CAN ALSO BREAK OUT THE LOAD SCIENCE AND MATH INTO THREE DIFFERENT VOTES.
THEN CRAFT AN EMAIL TO DLT TO SAY THAT WE NEED ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK ON THESE PARTICULAR AMENDMENTS, WE ASKED THEM TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND I CAN REISSUE THAT AND SEE WHAT WE LEARNED.
>> I JUST WONDER WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN WITH A LARGER SAMPLE AND STILL NOT AS LARGE AS I WOULD LIKE, BUT STILL THEY ARE.
WE TASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
>> THEN ALSO, WHEN ARE YOU MEETING WITH THE ASSOCIATIONS TO DISCUSS THIS OR HAVE YOU ALREADY DISCUSSED?
>> YEAH, THEY WERE AT THE DLT BUT ALSO MEET WITH THEM, MACHIAVELLIAN FERNANDO AND I THIS THURSDAY.
>> GREAT, SO HOPEFULLY THEY'VE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THEIR MEMBERSHIP AS WELL.
AFTER MAYBE THEY SEE THIS OR THEY HEAR SOME RUMBLINGS AT THEIR CAMPUS, MAYBE WE'LL HEAR SOME MORE.
>> I KNOW TOO THE FOUR ATTENDED THE DEAL TEAM MEETING [OVERLAPPING] SO WE CAN GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM AS WELL.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. YOU'LL ALSO REMEMBER THAT WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH EACH OF THE AMENDMENTS ON OUR THURSDAY MEETING THAT WE HAVE WITH TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS, WE WENT THROUGH EVERY IT WAS IN DECEMBER.
>> SURE BUT NOW HEARING MORE DISCUSSION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH, MAYBE THERE'LL BE SOME MORE TALK AND DIALOGUE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.
>> TRUSTEE ROSSI OF INTERESTS, THE PETRI WHAT I COULD DO IS I COULD PULL THAT ONE FROM VOTE ON THE 23RD UNTIL I CAN GET SOME FEEDBACK AND HOLD OFF ON THAT ONE OR I CAN TRY TO SEE HOW MUCH I CAN GET DONE IN OVER THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
I WANT TO BE REASONABLE TOO, AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THEY CAN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO.
>> WHY DON'T WE DO A SECOND READING ON THE 23RD AND THEN PUSH THE BOAT.
WE COULD FIRST THE VOTE EITHER TO OUR SPECIAL MEETING ON FEBRUARY 6TH OR TO OUR REGULAR MEETING IN FEBRUARY.
[02:50:04]
IF YOU'RE IN A HURRY, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HURRY.I WOULD PREFER TO A SECOND READING.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE A PROBLEM PUSHING IT TO FEBRUARY TO GET SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS BECAUSE THIS IS WE JUST WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THE HIRING SEASON.
IF WE DO IT IN FEBRUARY I KNOW YOU ALL THINK WE'D BE FINE.
>> YEAH BUT BECAUSE THESE ARE LAST RESORT THINGS.
THEY'RE NOT FIRST OPTION SO YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD WORK. WE CAN.
>> WE'LL DO A SECOND READING AND HAVE IT AS INFORMATION.
>> I CAN BRING THE GUARDRAILS, SO TO SPEAK, THE ADMIN PROCEDURES RELATED TO GET SOME FEEDBACK.
>> ROSCOE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUGGESTING PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER UNTIL FEBRUARY NOT HAVING THE SECOND READING.
>> BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO FIX AMENDMENT TWO OR THREE.
>> NO, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS I WOULDN'T CALL IT A SECOND READING.
I WOULD JUST CALL IT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK ANSWERS IN AN INFORMATION ITEM PERTINENT TO THE QUESTION,.
>> TECHNICALLY, WE HAVEN'T HAD A FIRST READING OF DFA BE IN DKA BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ON OUR AGENDA BECAUSE I JUST GAVE THEM TO US TONIGHT.
>> I'M TALKING ABOUT DLIS SPECIFICALLY AND NOT.
>> THE POLICIES ARE RELATED TO DLI FAMILY.
>> YEAH, THEY'RE SEPARATE. THERE'S A DLI PLAN, BUT THEN THESE ARE ALL THE POLICIES THAT ARE IMPACTED BY DLI AND TWO OF THEM ARE MISSING FROM OUR AGENDA TONIGHT.
THAT'S WHY I'D RATHER KEEP IT COMING SO WE'D GET THEM ALL ON.
>> THOSE READING FOR DFA BNDK, SECOND READING FOR DBA, DCA, DFAA, DFB, DFPB AND DMA.
I HAVEN'T READ THEM, SO I WOULDN'T BE COMFORTABLE HAVING A SECOND READING OF ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.
THOSE ARE MINOR CHANGES TO WHAT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED.
>> HAVING THE DEAL I PLAN AND THIS HAND IN HAND IS IMPORTANT.
>> WELL, THAT'S AWESOME. SAYING LET'S KEEP TALKING ABOUT I WOULDN'T TAKE IT OFF OUR AGENDA.
LET'S KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT AND NOT VOTE ON IT.
>> YES, BUT A SECOND READING IS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCRETE.
IF YOU CALL IT A SECOND READING,.
>> WELL, THEN WHAT WE COULD DO IS PUT IT ALL IN ONE AGENDA ITEM AND HAVE ALL THESE TOGETHER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING AS AN INFORMATION ITEM?
>> NO. I'M SAYING NOT LIKE DR. WRIGHT'S SAID, NOT CALL IT A SECOND READING JUST FOR INFORMATION.
WE WOULD STILL NEED A FIRST READING OF IT.
>> BUT YOU'D STILL HAVE THE POLICIES IN THERE.
>> WE GO AGAIN HAS BEEN TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR AS WE BEGIN HIRING REALLY IN MARCH ISN'T EVEN REALLY START GOING.
IF WE CAN GET WHAT THE BOARDS WILL IS BY THAT POINT, THAT'S IDEAL.
>> TEAM, FOR WHATEVER REASON, DR. MEDINA DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
POLICY DC LOCAL ON PAGE 136 IS NOT RELATED TO THE DOI PLAN AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.
THIS IS MORE OF A CLEANUP LANGUAGE FOR WHAT COMES TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF APPROVAL OF HIRES.
BUT IT'S SANDWICHED ALL IN HERE TOGETHER WITH THESE OTHER DOI POLICIES.
I JUST WANTED TO CALL THAT ONE OUT SPECIFICALLY.
YOU'LL SEE ON PAGE 137, THE UPDATES MADE TO POLICY DC LOCAL.
>> I ACTUALLY HAD SEPARATED THAT ONE OUT, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT CAME TO ME, BUT YES, THAT IS NOT RELATED TO THE DOI.
I HAD UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BOARD REALLY WANTED TO OUTLINE EXACTLY WHO THEY WANTED AUTHORITY FOR PROVING.
INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING ADMINISTRATORS REALLY BROADLY, WE REALLY DEFINED, AND SO IF YOU DON'T MIND TAKING A LOOK AT THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT, ITS ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, ITS PRINCIPLES, ITS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, ITS DEPUTY OFFICERS, ITS CHIEF OFFICERS, AND YOU ALSO HAD ASKED FOR THE HEAD BAND DIRECTOR, FORWARD SLASH FINE ARTS DIRECTOR.
THEN, THE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, WHICH IS THE ATHLETICS COORDINATOR.
THOSE ARE THE POSITIONS THAT I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE FINAL AUTHORITY FOR HIRING.
THERE ARE OTHERS. JUST LET US KNOW WHAT. [INAUDIBLE]
>> I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ON OUR AGENDA TO VOTE ON NEXT WEEK.
>> PULL OUT OF THE DOI POLICY.
[02:55:01]
>> YES. THAT'LL LOOK A LOT CLEANER.
QUESTIONS ON UPDATES TO POLICY DC LOCAL.
NOW, LOOKING AT YOUR AGENDA, PAGE 136, 437.
[Items N2 - N8]
NO, IT'S NOT ASSOCIATED WITH DIY, BUT IT'S LISTED WITH ALL THE, THAT'S WHY WE CALL THIS OUT, SPECIFICALLY.WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT ONE BY ITSELF.
NOW, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT TO WALK THROUGH ALL OF THESE OTHERS THAT WE WERE JUST GIVEN TONIGHT? DO WE WANT TO JUST HOLD? DO SOME HOMEWORK, REVIEW THEM, REVIEW YOUR PACKET.
AGAIN, THAT'S DBA, DCA DFAA, DFBAA, DMA, DFAB, WHICH IS NEW TO US, AND DK WHICH IS NEW TO US.
WHICH ARE ALL IN YOUR HANDY-DANDY BRACKET HERE.
THESE ARE ALL ASSOCIATED WITH DOI.
