L.2. Consideration and possible adoption of the amended 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 Hays CISD Academic Calendars

[L.8. Consideration and possible approval of the ratification of emergency building repair expenses caused by Winter Storm Elliot Winter Break 2022]

OK. OUR NEXT ITEM, L8, IS IN CONNECTION WITH OUR EMERGENCY BUILDING REPAIRS AS CAUSED BY THAT STUPID STORM ELLIOTT OVER THE WINTER BREAK.

PAGE 111.

MOVED BY MR. MCMANUS, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION TEAM? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES.

NEXT UP, OUR FINAL ACTION ITEM OF THE EVENING.

[L.9. Consideration and possible approval of the 2023-2024 Budget Calendar ]

THIS IS THE BUDGET CALENDAR.

IT LOOKED LIKE WE HAD A NEW VERSION OF THIS IN OUR FOLDER TEAM, AS PROVIDED BY MR. RANDY RAU. NOW MINE IS MISSING.

BUT I KNOW I SAW IT.

I FOUND IT.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT.

YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE.

SOMEONE WANT TO TELL US WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THIS VERSION? AND THEN WE CAN MAYBE HAVE A DISCUSSION.

AND CAN THIS FONT BE ANY SMALLER? I'M NOT SURE. I CAN MAKE IT BIGGER AND WE CAN PUT IT ON TWO PAGES.

BUT I WAS TRYING BE LIKE A.

THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE ON THE CALENDAR IN THAT WE HAD LISTED IN JANUARY THAT WE WERE MEETING WITH STAFF OR DEPARTMENTS FOR STAFFING.

AND I THINK IT KIND OF INDICATED THAT WE WERE MEETING AN BEING DONE IN JANUARY.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY A PROCESS THAT STARTED IN JANUARY AND SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN FEBRUARY.

SO YOU'LL SEE WHERE I KIND OF CHANGED THE WORDING IN JANUARY TO SAY, BEGINNING THE STAFF MEETINGS.

AND THEN I ADDED THE WORDING IN FEBRUARY TO COMPLETE THOSE STAFF MEETINGS.

AND THOSE ARE FOR DEPARTMENTS, NOT CAMPUSES, THOSE ARE DEPARTMENT STAFF MEETINGS.

OKAY. AND DID WE ADD ANYWHERE ON HERE WHERE THE BOARD'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT PRIORITIES IN OPEN SESSION? ON THE CALENDAR, I DID NOT.

BUT IN THE BOARD BLOG AND AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, I KIND OF ANSWERED IT IN THE SENSE THAT I'M GOING TO GIVE AN UPDATE EVERY BOARD MEETING ON ITEMS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED AND JUST STATUS UPDATES ON THE CALENDAR.

YOU KNOW, AS AN EXAMPLE, WE GOT OUR STATE, WE'RE LOOKING TO GET OUR STATE PROPERTY VALUES AND BY THE END OF JANUARY, I'LL SEE HOW THOSE PLAYED IN TO WHAT WE PROJECTED.

AND SO I'LL BE GIVEN UPDATES LIKE, THOSE WITH SOME WITH NUMBERS, SOME MIGHT JUST BE FOR VERBIAGE.

BUT AT EACH BOARD MEETING, I WANTED TO KIND OF TAKE FEEDBACK ON WHAT PRIORITIES OR WHAT ITEMS THE BOARD WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT.

INITIALLY, WHEN WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT IN CABINET, I THOUGHT WE WOULD JUST PUT IT IN, IN THE INFORMATION ITEM RATHER THAN TRYING TO PUT IT AS AN ONGOING ACTION ITEM.

BUT REALLY MY INTENT WAS TO KIND OF HAVE FEEDBACK AND HAVE KIND OF LIKE A TWO WAY CONVERSATION ON THAT.

AND ALONG THOSE LINES TO ALSO IF BOARD MEMBERS WANT US TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AS A BOARD PRIORITY, THEY CAN ALSO LIKE EMAIL THAT I GUESS TO US OR CONTACT DR.

WRIGHT, OR MYSELF.

WELL, I'D LIKE FOR OUR BOARD TO BE UNIFIED IN WHATEVER THOSE PRIORITIES MIGHT BE.

[00:50:01]

MARCH IS ONLY ONE MEETING MONTH, SO IT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION THAT WE EITHER DO IT LIKE THE SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY OR APRIL.

APRIL MAKES ME A LITTLE NERVOUS, ALTHOUGH WE'LL BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, SO WE MAY HAVE SOME CLUES AS TO WHAT MAY COME FROM THE LEDGE, BUT I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO THE REST OF THE BOARD.

BUT THAT'S MY GUT, IS THAT EITHER THAT SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY, WE DO KIND OF A PRIORITY RUN OR WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IN EARLY MARCH WHERE WE TALK ABOUT BUDGET PRIORITIES.

THAT COULD BE ANOTHER OPTION.

AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND TOO, IS THAT THE BUDGET CALENDAR, LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK, IT'S NOT SET, THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE.

I MEAN, THESE ARE THINGS. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS, THOUGH, BECAUSE WE'RE VOTING ON IT, MR. RAU, I KNOW, BUT PART OF ME IS WANTING Y'ALL TO VOTE ON IT IS TO ACCEPT WHAT WE HAVE AT THIS TIME SO THAT YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING ACTION WITH OR DOING OVER THE COURSE OF THE BUDGET PROCESS.

BUT AS THINGS HAPPEN AND TIME GOES ON AND THINGS CHANGE, THEN I'LL EITHER CHANGE THE DATES OR ADD LIKE IF WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IN FEBRUARY, I WOULD ADD THAT AND REALLY THEN WE WOULD USE THIS AS A GUIDE GOING FORWARD INTO NEXT YEAR TO KIND OF PICK THOSE UP.

YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE.

I MEAN, MAYBE I JUST HAVE PTSD FROM LAST YEAR WITH THE COMP PLAN AND THE BUDGET AND EVERYTHING SORT OF TAKING LONGER THAN WE EXPECTED AND SORT OF FEELING A LITTLE BIT BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL WHEN WE FINALLY HAD TO APPROVE IT.

AND SO AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET AHEAD OF THAT AND FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THIS BOARD AS TO WHAT THE PRIORITIES MIGHT BE, THEN WE'LL KNOW WHAT THE LEDGE IS GOING TO DO.

AND THEN I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BACK IN A LOT OF THAT, SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO THE BOARD.

MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE MAYBE EARLY MARCH, A SPECIAL MEETING.

OKAY. SORRY.

YES, I DEFINITELY WANT TO IF WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS BUDGET CALENDAR, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WE HAVE OUR MEETING AND WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE DATE BUT FOR MARCH, WHERE WE SET OUR PRIORITIES.

LAST TIME, IT WAS LOST IN TRANSLATION AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN.

RIGHT. AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT SO OPEN ENDED WHERE IT'S LIKE EVERY MEETING WE SAY A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN WE GET CAUGHT IN THE HOW WE DID LAST YEAR. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON IT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MARCH THAT WE WILL SET THAT.

AND DEFINITELY WHILE WE CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT THINGS, IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE OUR PRIORITIES AS A BOARD SHARED, SHARED PRIORITIES, BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN HAVE FIVE FROM BYRON AND YOU KNOW, HE LIKES TO HAVE PRIORITIES, FIVE FROM HIM, ONE FROM WILL, 20 MILLION FROM ME. THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE HELPFUL TO YOU.

SO DON'T SET YOURSELF UP, MR. RAU, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL LOVE TO TALK AND WE ALL HAVE, ESPECIALLY MR. MCMANUS. SO I SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE THAT IN MARCH AND CALL FOR THAT SPECIAL MEETING IN EARLY MARCH TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE THAT INCLUDED ON THIS BUDGET CALENDAR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT WE'LL MAKE THAT CHANGE.

ALL RIGHT MS. OROSCO, THANK YOU.

MR. MCMANUS YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO CONCUR. I THINK A SPECIAL MEETING IN EARLY MARCH WOULD BE FANTASTIC FOR US TO WORK THROUGH THAT.

OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO END UP WITH, HER RATIOS WERE PRETTY GOOD, 20 MILLION VERSUS ONE.

[LAUGHTER] SO I'M JUST SAYING THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD CALL.

BUT NO, I MEAN, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE CONFUSING AND WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH THAT TOGETHER AS A BOARD.

THE ONLY THING I WORRY ABOUT HAVING IT THAT EARLY IS AND I THINK WE ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE BASED UPON WHAT THE LEDGE SENDS OUR WAY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THEY GIVE AND THEY TAKE AWAY.

WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS. RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

WELL, AND OUR HOLD HARMLESS SORT OF DEBACLE.

YES. BUT MAYBE WE'LL HAVE GOOD NEWS AT THE END OF JANUARY WITH VALUATIONS AND WE CAN KIND OF GO FROM THERE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL OPEN IT UP OVER HERE.

ANY HEAD NODS OR THUMBS UP? I WOULD SUPPORT THAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. SO WE'LL FIGURE OUT A DATE.

I'M GOING TO WRITE IN HERE IN THIS MARCH ONE SPECIAL MEETING, EARLY MARCH TO DISCUSS BOARD MEETING.

I'M SORRY TO DISCUSS BOARD PRIORITIES AT A BOARD MEETING.

OKAY. RIGHT. AND SO GOING FORWARD, LIKE WHEN I MAKE LIKE, I'LL ADD THAT INTO THE CALENDAR.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PUT IT LIKE, IN A CERTAIN AND I'LL MAKE IT BIGGER FONT, BUT LIKE A DIFFERENT COLOR OR SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE ADDED, WHAT'S CHANGED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. IF WE ADD SOMETHING, MAYBE DO IT IN RED OR SOMETHING WHERE IT KIND OF STANDS OUT AND YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE [INAUDIBLE] ROOM DOWN HERE.

MAYBE IT CAN BE A 0.5 BUMP IN THE FONT SIZE.

[00:55:04]

IT WILL BE AS TINY AS IT IS.

WELL, HEY, BUT I LIKE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND VOTING ON THIS.

I LIKE THIS. SO, YEAH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO ADD A SPECIAL MEETING IN EARLY MARCH FOR THE BOARD TO DISCUSS PRIORITIES IN KIND OF OPEN SESSION.

I THINK OUR PUBLIC WILL APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK OUR STAFF WILL APPRECIATE THAT.

SO WE'LL, PLAN ON THAT.

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

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE HAVE AN APPROVED BUDGET CALENDAR.

THANK YOU, MR. RAU.

OKAY, TEAM. NEXT UP, WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION ITEMS AND WE HAVE A PACKET IN OUR DAIS FOLDER THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

[M.1. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment 2: Certification Exemptions ]

SO FIRST UP, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT.

WE BROKE THESE UP THESE AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN UP INTO THEIR SIX DIFFERENT.

WHAT DOES THAT SAY 7.

AMENDMENT TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

THERE'S NOT A ONE.

THERE'S NOT AN AMENDMENT ONE.

DON'T ASK ME WHY.

BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE A ONE.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT. I REMEMBER THAT.

SO AMENDMENT TWO, AS YOU MAY RECALL.

PROBABLY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL IS ON PAGE 115.

DR. WRIGHT HAS POINTED TO THIS DOCUMENT, WHICH IS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES, I'M ASSUMING, AS TO HOW THE DOI PLAN WILL WORK.

DR. MEDINA, YOU WANT TO WALK US THROUGH THIS DOCUMENT? ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT PETREA.

AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK THE BOARD FOR A REALLY RICH DISCUSSION AROUND THIS ONE LAST TIME.

AND IT REALLY CHALLENGED US TO THINK REALLY THROUGH THIS.

AND SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT BETWEEN THEM.

SO THIS DOCUMENT JUST I STARTED OFF WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE SUCCESSES THAT WE HAD WITH DOI, PARTICULARLY IN CTE. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A PREMIER PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THE DOI EXCEPTIONS ALLOWED US TO FILL SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS THAT OTHERWISE WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS AND NOT HAVE TEACHERS IN THOSE CLASSES.

WE DO HAVE 53 DOI EXCEPTIONS IN CTE AND THESE GUIDELINES WILL ACTUALLY HELP US MONITOR SOME OF THAT HIRING AS WELL.

SO I START OFF WITH THAT AND THEN I GO INTO THE EXPANSION OF DOI, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF MATH, SCIENCE AND LOAD AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL. AND I GO INTO INTO THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THAT.

AND SO BASICALLY THEY'RE GOING TO FALL INTO ONE OF FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

AND I'M ON PAGE TWO OF THE DOCUMENT.

THE CATEGORIES MUST FALL IN ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES.

THE FIRST BEING THAT WE HAVE AN SBEC CERTIFICATION IN A RELATED CONTENT AREA.

AND I GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

WE HAVE A BILINGUAL ELEMENTARY TEACHER WANTING TO GO TO THE SECONDARY LEVEL SPEAKING SPANISH.

AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT TO ME IS SOMEWHAT MORE SEAMLESS.

BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETAIN AND TO HIRE IN FOR LOTE POSITIONS.

ANOTHER ONE IS THAT THE BACHELOR'S, THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD HOLD A BACHELOR'S OR A MASTER'S DEGREE WITHIN THE PARTICULAR CONTENT AREA.

SO AGAIN, I GIVE THE EXAMPLE OF WE HAVE A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS AND AS SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO APPLY TO TEACH ALGEBRA ONE.

THERE'S A DIRECT CORRELATION THERE.

AND THEN THE THIRD EXAMPLE IS A BACHELOR'S OR A MASTER'S DEGREE WITH 18 HOURS OF CONTENT RELATED COURSEWORK.

SIX OF THE HOURS WOULD BE UPPER LEVEL COURSEWORK.

IN THE EXAMPLE THAT I GIVE YOU THERE IS, YOU KNOW, WE'LL LOOK THROUGH THE TEACHERS TRANSCRIPT TO VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE 18 HOURS AND SIX OF THOSE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE THAT I USE HERE IS CHEMISTRY.

THEY HAVE A BACHELORS IN SCIENCE AND CHEMISTRY.

AND THEN THE FOURTH EXAMPLE, THE FOURTH EXAMPLE THAT I GIVE WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL HAS DEMONSTRATED SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE.

FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW WE HAD A SITUATION IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THAT I WAS HERE.

WE HAD A DOI TEACHER FROM AUSTIN ISD THAT HAD BEEN TEACHING UNDER A DOI IN AUSTIN AND HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR OUR CTE DOI, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THAT TEACHER COME INTO OUR DISTRICT.

SO IF THEY HAVE A DOI FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT AND WE KNOW THAT IT WAS RECOGNIZED THERE, THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING THEM IN.

OTHER EXAMPLES MIGHT BE IF WE HAVE SOMEONE WITH AN ENGINEERING LICENSE, WHICH IS VERY RIGOROUS LICENSE TO HAVE AND THEY WANT TO TEACH IN AN ENGINEERING CLASS, THEN WE WOULD DOI THEM.

[01:00:02]

ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS THAT I JUST LISTED FOR YOU WOULD ENTER WHAT WE'RE CALLING JUST THE PATHWAY TO CERTIFICATION, MEANING IT'S NOT A ONE AND DONE THING.

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE JUST HIRE YOU AND THEN THAT'S IT.

NO, THERE WOULD BE SOME FOLLOW THROUGH ON THAT.

WE WOULD HAVE A PATHWAY TOWARDS CERTIFICATION IMMEDIATELY UPON HIRE.

THEY WOULD GET ENROLLED IN AN ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM AND WE WOULD BEGIN TO WALK THEM THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

SO IT'S A ROAD FOR US TO GET THEM IN AND THEN TO GET THEM CERTIFIED.

I DID WORK WITH CTE WITH SUSIE MITCHELL ON THIS DOCUMENT A LITTLE BIT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

AND CURRENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE OUR TEACHER CERTIFIED IN CTE COURSES WHERE OUR STUDENTS GET MATH AND SCIENCE CREDIT.

SO THIS DOCUMENT WILL ACTUALLY HELP TIGHTEN THAT UP.

SO SHE IS ON BOARD WITH ENSURING THAT THE MATH AND THOSE CLASSES THAT YIELD A A CREDIT FOR STUDENTS IN THE MATH AND SCIENCE, WE WOULD PUT THEM IN THAT PATHWAY TO CERTIFICATION.

SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF TIGHTENING THAT UP A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN WE WOULD GO INTO THE ACTUAL HIRING PROCESS AND IT KIND OF EXPLAINS IT A LITTLE BIT.

YOU HAVE ON PAGE, LET'S SEE, THERE IS A WORK THERE'S KIND OF A FLOWCHART IN YOUR DOCUMENT.

HOPEFULLY PRINT IT IN HERE.

IT'S ON THE VERY BACK PAGE.

SO WHAT WE WOULD DO AND AGAIN, I HAD I WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH SUSIE TO KIND OF IDENTIFY SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD.

OF COURSE, WE'RE SAYING AND HONOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE FIRST PREFERRED CHOICE IS SBEC CERTIFICATION.

BUT IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND AN SBEC CERTIFIED TEACHER, THEN THERE WOULD BE THREE OPTIONS.

THE FIRST OPTION WOULD BE TO SECURE A CERTIFIED LONG TERM SUBSTITUTE THAT IS CERTIFIED IN THAT AREA.

RIGHT. ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO GET A NON CERTIFIED TEACHER IN THAT CONTENT AREA, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO SEND A PARENT NOTIFICATION AFTER THE 30 DAYS.

THE OPTION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW WOULD BE DOI.

IN THE DOI IF THE CAMPUS DECIDED THAT THAT'S THE ROUTE THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO, WHAT THEY WOULD DO IS NOTIFY HR.

WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY LET DR.

WRIGHT KNOW WE'VE GOT A CAMPUS WANTING TO SEEK A DOI UNDER A PARTICULAR AREA, MATH, SCIENCE OR LOTE, AND HE WOULD GIVE US THE GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD.

THE CAMPUS WILL BE DIRECTED NOT TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE THAT DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, SO THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INTERVIEW THEM UNTIL THEY GET THE GO FROM DR.

WRIGHT. AND WE WOULD WORK WITH THE ACADEMICS OFFICE, THE DIOS WHO OVERSEE AND SUPERVISE AND EVALUATE THE PRINCIPALS TO ENSURE THAT, IN FACT, THERE IS A NEED.

IN FACT, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THE SCREENING PROCESSES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE.

AND THEN WE WOULD INITIATE A PRESCREENING COMMITTEE THAT WOULD BE COMPOSED OF HR STAFF, ACADEMIC STAFF.

SO IF IT'S SOMEONE IN MATH, WE WOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FOR MATH, SCIENCE OR LOTE OR CTE.

ONCE THE COMMITTEE SCREENS THEM AND GIVES US THE GO AHEAD, WE WOULD LET THE CAMPUS THEN KNOW YOU MAY PROCEED WITH HIRING.

AND JUST THAT ALONE TIGHTENS UP EVEN OUR EXISTING CTE PROCESSES.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT PROCESS AND GETTING US TO THINK A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AROUND THIS WHOLE DOI.

AND THEN FROM THERE, IF THEY GET APPROVED AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL, THEY WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS OF DOING A BEGIN HIRE AND WE WOULD GO THROUGH AND DO BACKGROUND CHECKS AND FOLLOW OUR STANDARD, YOU KNOW, PROCESS.

SO THAT'S THE HIRING PROCESS.

AND BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE.

AND SO WE WOULD EMPLOY THEM UNDER A NON-CERTIFIED TEACHER CONTRACT WITH LANGUAGE THAT STIPULATES THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT.

AND AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR CERTIFICATION, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO EMPLOY THEM UNDER A CONTRACT THAT'S GOVERNED UNDER THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, CHAPTER 21.

AND THEY WOULD ALSO GET AN ADDENDUM THAT WOULD COMMUNICATE TO THEM THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT AND THEY WOULD HAVE A YEAR TO COMPLETE, YOU KNOW, THAT CERTIFICATION PROCESS.

SO AND WE WOULD ALSO WORK WITH THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO BUILD AND TO SUPPORT THOSE TEACHERS TO ENSURE THAT BEFORE THEY GO INTO THE CLASSROOM, THEY GET 20 HOURS OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT TRAINING.

MANY OF THESE COURSES ARE THINGS WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE, AND IT'S TYPICAL OF AN ALT CERT PROGRAM TO PUT THOSE IN PLACE AS WELL.

WE WOULD ALSO DO A TRAINING IN LESSON DESIGN AND DELIVERY THAT ERICA GARZA WOULD PUT TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, FOR US.

AND SHE'S EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND SHE'S ON BOARD WITH DEVELOPING THAT TRAINING.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE OUR INSPIRE.

THEY WOULD BENEFIT FROM OUR INSPIRE PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR MENTOR PROGRAM THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE.

AND THEN WHAT WE WOULD DO IS ALSO PUT IN A PRACTICE IN SEPTEMBER THAT WE GIVE YOU AN UPDATE OF ALL OF OUR DOI THAT INCLUDES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE

[01:05:05]

BEEN DOI, THE CAMPUSES AND THE COURSES THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOI'D UNDER.

SO THAT, IN A NUTSHELL, IS THE DOCUMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

WE GIVE YOU A SAMPLE OF THE ADDENDUM THAT WE'VE DRAFTED.

WE HAVE NOT PASSED IT THROUGH LEGAL YET, BUT WE WOULD TAKE SOME OF THESE DOCUMENTS THROUGH LEGAL TO ENSURE THAT THEY MEET THE MUSTER OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THERE.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS IF THE CONTRACT HAD BEEN VETTED BY OUR LAWYERS, IT IS MODELED AFTER ONE OF OUR SOME OF THE CONTRACTS WE HAVE.

SO I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO REVIEW THEM.

OKAY. SO THIS PRIMARILY ONLY DEALS WITH THIS AMENDMENT TOO WITH THE CERTIFICATION EXEMPTION.

THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. SO THANK YOU FOR WALKING THROUGH THAT TEAM.

I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT, BUT I ALSO KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATIONS.

I PERSONALLY AM, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME CONCERNS, BUT I REALLY LIKE THE THOUGHT THAT'S GONE INTO THIS DOCUMENT.

SO WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE TEAM.

MRS. OROSCO.

OH, YEAH. DR. WRIGHT, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I DID. SO WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS IN CABINET WITH DR.

MEDINA, HIS TEAM, AND THEN WITH MS. SEDILLO. AND WE WANT THIS TO BE A LAST RESORT PROCESS.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT OBVIOUSLY, WE ALWAYS WANT TO BE ABLE TO RECRUIT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE CERTIFICATION NOW.

IN THE FIELD OF CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY WE DO HAVE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATIONS, AND I THINK THEY'RE THE EXCEPTION TO THIS.

AND WE'VE GOTTEN SOME VERY GOOD PEOPLE AND BUT FOR MATH SCIENCE CREDITS FOR THE ACADEMIC SIDE OF THINGS, I THINK THIS IS THE WAY TO GO.

AND WE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR WHEN YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THIS UNLESS WE PUT IN GUARDRAILS.

WELL, I THINK WE PUT IN A LOT OF GUARDRAILS.

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT SINCE I'M ULTIMATELY IN CHARGE OF THIS AND SINCE Y'ALL DELEGATED THE HIRING OF TEACHERS TO ME, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE WE EVEN ENTER INTO THIS, THAT IT COMES TO ME AND I SAY, OKAY, THIS, LOOKS LEGIT.

LET'S GO OR NO, HEY, THIS DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.

LET'S LET'S, PRESS PAUSE.

AND SO I THINK WE'VE TRIED TO COVER A LOT OF THINGS, SO I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

BUT WE REALLY DID TRY TO RESTRICT ACCESS TO THIS SO THAT IT WOULD BE LAST RESORT AND HOPEFULLY WE PUT IN GUARDRAILS.

BUT IF WE NEED TO ADD MORE THAN WE CERTAINLY WILL.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. AND JUST TO REMIND OUR TEAM, WE'RE NOT VOTING ON THIS.

SO IF WE DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS STRONG ENOUGH, WE CAN KEEP AT IT.

ALL RIGHT. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP ON MY RIGHT FIRST.

MRS. OROSCO.

THANK YOU, MS. PETREA.

DR. WRIGHT, I KNOW WE'VE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE THIS UNTIL TODAY, SO I HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT IN DEPTH AND BRING ALL MY QUESTIONS FORWARD.

I KNOW I WILL HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS BASED ON WHAT I BRIEFLY READ.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TIGHTEN UP IS, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN WE SAY ABOUT THE COMMITTEES THAT WILL BE INTERVIEWING COULD BE A MATH OR SCIENCE OR CTE BECAUSE LIKE WE HEARD, THERE'S OVERLAP BETWEEN CTE AND MATH AND SCIENCE.

SO IF THERE IS AN OVERLAP, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE BOTH IN THERE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S ONE OF THEM.

THE OTHER THING SCENARIO THAT WAS DESCRIBED TO US WAS IF THERE IS A TEACHER THAT HAS DOI FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT THAT WE WOULD HONOR THAT KIND OF SITUATION.

I DON'T WANT TO HONOR THAT KIND OF SITUATION.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIRE THE BEST QUALIFIED, NOT ONLY BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT A DOI EXEMPTION SOMEWHERE ELSE, DO WE WANT THAT TYPE OF CALIBER OF TEACHER HERE.

SO WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL ON THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND CHECK THE WORDING ON THAT, BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.

I UNDERSTAND THE SPIRIT OF THE AMENDMENT AS YOU DESCRIBE IT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS BACK AND READ IT.

PLEASE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ASSOCIATIONS AND WHAT THEIR INPUT AND FEEDBACK WAS.

YEAH. SO WE VISITED WITH THEM LAST THURSDAY AND KIND OF THE SAME CONCERNS.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T TAKE A PERSON WITH AN EXISTING CERTIFICATION AND THEN REASSIGN THEM TO A POSITION WHERE THEY'RE NOT CERTIFIED AND THEN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AND THAT WAS NEVER A CONSIDERATION.

BUT I THINK WE MADE THEM FEEL BETTER AFTER WE EXPLAINED TO THEM IT'S GOING TO BE VOLUNTARY AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO APPLY TO GO INTO A FIELD THAT THEY'RE NOT CERTIFIED FOR.

AND THEN WE WOULD START THIS PROCESS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO REASSIGN OR ASK ANYBODY TO GO INTO AN AREA FOR WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE CERTIFICATION IF THEY'RE ALREADY CERTIFIED AND ARE HAPPY IN THEIR CURRENT SITUATION.

BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE UP FOR A NEW CHALLENGE AND IT'S THEIR IDEA AND THEY WANT TO DO IT, THEN WE'LL TRY TO SUPPORT THEM.

[01:10:08]

AND I KNOW I HAVE THAT SAME CONCERN AND WE DISCUSSED IT AS WELL.

AND AGAIN, I HAVEN'T READ THIS SINCE IT JUST CAME TO US.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS CLEARLY ARTICULATED IN THERE.

SO, YEAH, DEFINITELY A LOT OF QUESTIONS ONCE I READ IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

WRIGHT, FOR WORKING ON THIS.

THANK YOU. MR. SEVERANCE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH, I LOVE THAT WE'RE KIND OF NARROW WHAT THE GUARDRAILS, I GUESS THAT'S THE WORD OF THE MONTH.

BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POSSIBLY.

I MEAN, JUST TALK ABOUT IT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF APPROVED BY THE PRESCREENING COMMITTEE, LIKE IF WE'RE DEFINING THAT, IF IT'S LIKE IF WE'RE HIRING FOR SOMEONE IN THE CTE DEPARTMENT, WE CAN HAVE SOMEONE FROM CTE ON THE COMMITTEE. I ALSO KNOW THAT WE ALSO LET OUR PRINCIPALS DO THE HIRING ON THE CAMPUSES.

BUT IN THESE RARE INSTANCES THAT WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT IF YOU'RE ON THE PRESCREENING COMMITTEE, EITHER FROM CTE OR ONE THE DOIS, THAT THEY ALSO BE IN THE INTERVIEW COMMITTEE, THE CAMPUS COMMITTEE, WHEN THEY'RE INTERVIEWING THE SUBJECT AS WELL.

SO LIKE FOR CONTINUITY ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT.

SO THEN PRESCREENING BUT THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A SAY IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL AS WELL.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAYBE TIGHTEN THAT UP A LITTLE BIT WITH LANGUAGE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW.

TRUSTEES ON PAGE FIVE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO READ THE DOCUMENT VERBATIM, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE QUESTION.

THANK YOU. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT STEP TWO, IT WILL, YOU KNOW, DESCRIBES THAT IT CAN INCLUDE PERSONNEL FROM THE CURRICULUM DEPARTMENT, CAMPUS PRINCIPAL, THE DEPUTY, THE DOI, A TEAM GRADE LEVEL OR EVEN MAYBE A CONTENT LEAD FROM THE CAMPUS TO ENSURE THAT CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

SO THAT'S ON PAGE FOUR.

AND I JUST WANTED TO RESPOND VERY QUICKLY TO TRUSTEE OROSCO AND THE VARIOUS NOTES THAT DR.

WRIGHT MADE ARE ON PAGE FIVE, WHICH THE PRINCIPAL MAY NOT USE THIS PROCESS TO REASSIGN A TEACHER.

TEACHERS MAY NOT BE FORCED OR COERCED, TO APPLY OR TO MOVE INTO A POSITION, A VACANT POSITION, AND ONLY THE TEACHER CAN EXPRESS INTEREST IN THE POSITION BY APPLYING TO THE TALENT ED PLATFORM.

SO IT'S VERY TO BE CLEAR AND POINTED IN THE DOCUMENT.

YEAH. THANK YOU, DR.

MEDINA. I APPRECIATE THAT.

YEAH, I'M READING THAT NOW.

YEAH, I JUST THINK THAT'S IT'S IMPORTANT.

LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN THE RARE INSTANCE THAT WE HAVE TO DO THIS, THEN WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT INTERVIEW TEAM IS CONSISTENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH WHEN IT GETS TO THE CAMPUS.

SO THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. MCMANUS.

YEAH, I HAD EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THIS AS WELL.

I JUST WANT TO SAY, LIKE MRS. OROSCO SAID, I NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO REALLY READ THROUGH THIS.

BUT THE EFFORT THAT WENT INTO PRODUCING THIS, I REALLY APPRECIATE.

AND AT FIRST GLANCE, I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY WORKABLE DOCUMENT, WHETHER IT NEEDS A LITTLE TUNE-UP HERE OR THERE REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

BUT I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND THE ENERGY THAT WENT INTO THIS AND TO LISTENING TO OUR FEEDBACK AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, MR. MCMANUS.

ANYBODY ON MY LEFT? MRS. RUNKLE? THANK YOU, DR. MEDINA.

WE'VE TALKED TO QUITE A BIT THE LAST FEW DAYS.

I WANTED TO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO READ THIS EITHER BECAUSE WE DID JUST GET THIS.

BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON.

ON THE FLOW CHART ON THE BACK.

WHERE IT SAYS WE'LL SEEK THE SUPERINTENDENT SUPPORT PRIOR TO FACILITATING A CANDIDATE PRESCREENING THAT INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CNI DEPARTMENT. CAN WE BREAK OUT CNI AND CTE DEPARTMENT? YES, THE CTE IS.

SURE. SAME THING FOR WHAT YOU JUST READ OUT ON STEP TWO.

YES. ALSO BREAKING IT OUT THERE.

I SEE THAT YOU TOOK OUT THE WORD SHALL, RIGHT? RIGHT. I SAW THAT. I HAVEN'T.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE LANGUAGE IN THE POLICY OR THIS DOCUMENT? ARE WE STILL ON THIS DOCUMENT? I'M MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF MY THINGS THAT I'VE SENT IN HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

OKAY. YES, IT'S ON HERE.

YEAH, IT'S ON STEP TWO.

HE READ STEP TWO ON THAT DOCUMENT.

YES. SORRY. ALSO, I ALSO THE HIRING COMMITTEES.

I JUST WANT TO ALSO SHARE IT TOO, THAT THE HIRING COMMITTEES ARE IMPORTANT TO ME IN DEFINING THOSE AND ALSO NOT JUST CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO DEFINING IT FROM CTE.

AND SOMEONE, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S MRS. MITCHELL OR MRS. SEDILLO OR SOMEONE THAT THEY NOMINATE OR DESIGNATE WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENT.

BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT CTE IS REPRESENTED IN THOSE HIRING COMMITTEES.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE MORE DEFINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

AND THEN ALSO, ANY TIME THAT WE DO THIS, I'VE SHARED A LOT OF I'VE SHARED WITH YOU, DR.

[01:15:05]

WRIGHT, AND EVEN WITH YOU, DR.

MEDINA, THAT I HAVE MAJOR ANXIETY ABOUT THIS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

I GET IT.

THE SAFEGUARDS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH ARE OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT.

YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN THE LAST FEW DAYS SINCE THIS.

I JUST HATE THAT WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE HAVING TO DO THIS.

BUT IF YOU CAN JUST TIGHTEN UP THOSE HIRING COMMITTEES, AND THEN ALSO, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO POTENTIALLY DO THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD GETS NOTIFICATION WHEN WE DO THIS SO THAT WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS AND HOW OFTEN IT'S HAPPENING. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT YOU SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE UP TO A YEAR TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATION.

I MEAN, DOES THAT SAY LIKE THEY CAN TAKE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE END OF THE YEAR TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATION, OR ARE WE HAVING THAT COMMUNICATION OR NO, THE INTENT IS WE WANT YOU TO START IT RIGHT AWAY.

RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMEBODY IN A POSITION AND THEN THEY JUST THINK THEY CAN JUST WAIT TILL THE VERY LAST MINUTE.

RIGHT. SO I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT TOO TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY.

YES, WE WOULD DO THAT UPON HIRE.

AND SO THE OUT OF STATE YOU'LL REMEMBER THERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF OUT OF STATE.

RIGHT. THAT WE SOMEONE HOLDS A SORT OF A VALID CERTIFICATION FROM ANOTHER STATE AND THEY WOULD BE WANTING TO COME HERE WE WOULD HONOR THAT.

IN THAT SITUATION WITHIN SIX MONTHS THEY CAN BE CERTIFIED.

AND SO WE KNOW WE HAVE THE OPTION OF A YEAR FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

HOWEVER, OUR REQUIREMENT WOULD BE THAT THEY DO IT WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AND TYPICALLY THAT'S BY JANUARY 1ST, IF THEY'RE HIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

NOW, THE ALT CERT CANDIDATES REALLY ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF THEIR PROGRAM AND SOMETIMES THEY ALLOW THEM TO TAKE CERTAIN TESTS AT A CERTAIN POINT, BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE THEIR FINAL TEST UNTIL THEY HAVE FINISHED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE, TYPICALLY IN THE SPRING.

SO WE WOULD IT WOULD BE WE WOULD BE WORKING WITH THE ALTERNATE PROGRAM AND HOW THEY ACTUALLY MATRICULATE THE STUDENT THROUGH THEIR PROGRAM.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I'M STILL GOING TO READ THROUGH THIS AND I WILL LIKELY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

BUT I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE SINCE WE'VE SPOKEN.

THANK YOU. THANKS, MR. RUNKLE. I THINK DR. WRIGHT HAS A COMMENT AS WELL.

YEAH. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR APPROVING THE GROW YOUR OWN FUNDS FOR ALL CERT AND TO GET PEOPLE EXTRA COURSE HOURS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND YOU ALL PROVED THAT IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET AND WE'LL BE RECOMMENDING IT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND SO THE GOAL WOULD BE TO GET THEM ENROLLED IN THAT ALT CERT PROGRAM AND THEN DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THEY NEED, WOULD DEFINE THAT TIMELINE.

BUT I THINK IF WE GET THEM IN THE PROGRAM AND WE OFFER THEM SUPPORT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL OF GETTING THEM CERTIFIED FULLY BY THE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN ONE YEAR'S TIME PERIOD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE FUNDING IT.

IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF WE WERE ASKING THE CANDIDATES TO COME INTO A NEW JOB AND TRY TO FUND IT AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS. ANYONE ELSE OVER HERE? DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ.

I'M JUST ALONG THE LINES OF ALTERNATIVE CERTS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN CLASSROOM WITH TEACHERS WORKING ON THEIR ALTERNATIVE CERT AND THEY DON'T PASS THEIR STATE TEXAS EXAMS. HOW? I KNOW THERE'S NOW X AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY CAN TAKE THE TEST.

SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DON'T PASS THE FIRST TIME? AND THEN POSSIBLY A SECOND, RIGHT.

I'VE BEEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE CANADA.

IT'S FIVE TIMES RIGHT AND RIGHT.

WE KNOW LIKE ANY OTHER STUDENT, LIKE STUDENTS.

SOME ADULTS ALSO HAVE TROUBLE PASSING TESTS AND WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM AND SUPPORT THEM.

WE BOTH WITH THE ALL CERT PROGRAM EVEN WITHIN OUR WE HAVE EVEN WITH THE ACADEMICS OFFICE, WE HAVE SUPPORTS FOR THEM TO PASS EXAMS AS WELL.

WE WOULD MAKE USE OF ALL OF THOSE SUPPORTS THAT ARE IN PLACE.

I'M HOPING RIGHT, THAT THE CONTENT IS NOT THE ISSUE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE HIGH EXPERTISE.

A LOT OF EXPERTISE IN THE CONTENT TYPICALLY WOULD BE THE WHAT'S CALLED THE PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING AN EDUCATOR.

AND THAT TEST HAPPENS AT THE END OF THEIR ALT CERT PROGRAM.

AND TYPICALLY THEY GET, YOU KNOW, AS THEY GET MORE EXPERIENCE, THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM PASSING THAT TEST IS HIGHER.

LIKELIHOOD, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE ABSOLUTELY ONE TEACHER WAS AN AMAZING TEACHER AND COULDN'T PASS THAT TEST.

IN THE CLASSROOM AND COULD NOT PASS THE TEST.

AND TO THIS DAY, AND IT BREAKS MY HEART, YOU KNOW, SO WE HAD TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE AS FAR AS LET'S DO A DIFFERENT CERTIFICATION, TAKE A DIFFERENT EXIT FOR TEXAS AS IT IS NOW, PASS THAT ONE FINALLY, BUT WASN'T ABLE TO GET THIS ONE PARTICULAR ONE.

SO JUST WONDERING.

[01:20:02]

BUT I'M GLAD WE HAVE FOLKS IN PLACE THAT WILL HELP THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING ON ALTERNATIVE CERT.

I APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M SURE THEY DO AS WELL.

SO WE KNOW THAT AFTER THAT FIRST INTERN, THEY TYPICALLY WILL ISSUE THEM AN INTERN CERTIFICATION WHILE THEY ARE IN THE ALT CERT PROGRAM.

AND THEY ARE WILLING OFTENTIMES TO GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS TO FINISH THAT.

I WOULD WORK WITH DR.

WRIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S THE ROUTE WE WANT TO TAKE AND TO SEE HOW THEY'VE BEEN PERFORMING THROUGHOUT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE WITH US.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE, MRS. OROSCO? YOU HAD SOMETHING ELSE? I'LL JUST INCLUDE IT IN MY QUESTIONS.

THANKS. OKAY.

AND I'LL JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE EXISTING HIRE REASSIGNMENT CHALLENGE THAT THERE ARE SOME WAY TO THAT, THAT WON'T BE A LOOPHOLE THAT THEY'VE BEEN HIRED FOR ONE POSITION AND THEY'RE JUST REASSIGNED BY THIS.

THIS SOMETHING WILL BE TRIGGERED THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO REAPPLY FOR AND GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, CORRECT? YOU CAN ASSURE ME OF THAT.

YES. THAT'S THAT FIRST NOTE THAT NO ONE CAN BE THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE USED FOR REASSIGNMENT PURPOSES.

PERFECT. THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THAT, THAT IT SAYS NOTE ONE.

I THINK I HAVE IT IN THAT PAGE FOUR.

YEAH. AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE LISTENING, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE SAID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, THAT THIS IS SORT OF A LAST RESORT, BUT WE ARE IN A NEW WORLD IN EDUCATION WHERE TEACHERS ARE LEAVING THE PROFESSION.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY IN THIS DISTRICT TO NOT HAVE SOME OF THE LARGE NUMBERS OF OPEN POSITIONS THAT SOME OF OUR SURROUNDING DISTRICTS HAVE HAD.

AND I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO OUR HIGH PAY THAT DR.

WRIGHT SHOWED US LAST WEEK.

OUR MORALE AROUND HERE IS PRETTY GREAT.

WHAT WE I THINK PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ABOUT WORKING AT OUR DISTRICT AND I WANT TO CONTINUE THOSE EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN AND OBVIOUSLY RECRUIT PEOPLE.

BUT WE ARE FACING TEACHER SHORTAGES.

AND I THINK LESS AND LESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE GOING INTO EDUCATION.

WE HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE RETIREMENT BENEFITS AROUND HERE.

SO SOME PEOPLE MAY RETIRE, YOU KNOW, AND WE WANT THEM TO.

THAT'S GREAT. THEY'VE EARNED IT.

WE ALSO HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BEING LAID OFF IN THE TECH INDUSTRY AND WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

WE HAVE, I'M SURE, MATH AND SCIENCE MAJORS THAT ARE IN THIS CENTRAL TEXAS AREA THAT MAY BE FACING LAYOFFS.

I READ AGAIN TODAY AT 12,000 LAYOFFS AT GOOGLE, TENS OF THOUSANDS.

SO NOT ALL OF THEM LIVE HERE, OBVIOUSLY.

BUT AUSTIN STILL REMAINS TO BE A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND PEOPLE ARE STILL MOVING HERE.

AND I DO THINK WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HIGH LEVEL OF BACHELOR'S AND MASTER'S DEGREE FOLKS THAT LIVE AROUND HERE THAT MAY WANT TO TEACH.

AND SO I SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE WHAT MY DAUGHTER'S MATH TEACHER, ADVANCED MATH TEACHER, WALKED OUT IN DECEMBER.

WE HAD FOUR TEACHERS AT LEHMAN FOUR OPENINGS.

RIGHT. AN ADVANCED OR MATH MORE MATH TEACHERS WHEN WE STARTED SCHOOL AT LEHMAN.

NO TEACHERS.

YES, CORRECT? CORRECT.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S OUR REALITY.

SO IF WE CAN FILL THOSE POSITIONS WITH FOLKS THAT HAVE PHYSICS DEGREES AND CHEMISTRY DEGREES, THEN I'M OPEN TO THIS.

I ALSO WANT DR.

WRIGHT TO SIGN OFF ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A MATH DEGREE DOESN'T MEAN THEY LIKE CHILDREN, AS IT TURNS OUT.

SO WE DO WANT TO CARE ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. I THINK THAT WAS ALL THAT I HAD.

AND MRS. OROSCO'S HAND WENT UP AGAIN.

SHE'S PROBABLY GOING TO CHALLENGE ME ON EVERYTHING I JUST SAID.

NO, ACTUALLY, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.

OKAY. AND CURRENTLY, I WILL SAY THAT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS UNTIL I READ THOSE GUIDELINES TO REALLY SEE HOW THEY'RE LAID OUT. AND DR.

WRIGHT AND I HAVE TALKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THIS.

I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IN THERE, BUT ENSURING THAT OUR LOW SOCIOECONOMIC CAMPUSES DO NOT GET THOSE UNCERTIFIED PEOPLE FIRST.

RIGHT. BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE HAVE POOLS AND PEOPLE APPLY.

I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T STACK UNCERTIFIED TEACHERS AT ONE CAMPUS, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD HAVE A HUGE IMPACT, AS WE ALL KNOW WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAND OUT ABOVE ALL OTHER SCHOOLS.

WE ARE NOT LIKE CHARTER SCHOOLS WHERE UNCERTIFIED TEACHERS IS WHAT THEY HAVE, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES PUBLIC EDUCATION SO DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE DO REQUIRE CERTIFIED TEACHERS AND THE BEST QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND I DON'T WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT.

SO KEEPING THAT IN MIND, I HAVE A LOT OF HEARTBURN STILL BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SOME CHALLENGES WITH SHORTAGES, I DON'T WANT TO BECOME OR HAVE THAT

[01:25:08]

MINDSET THAT AN UNCERTIFIED TEACHER BELONGS WITH KIDS AT ALL TIMES.

RIGHT? SO I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO ENSURE THAT THAT HAPPENS.

AND JUST LIKE WE RECEIVE INFORMATION ON ANY WAIVERS AND WE DON'T PASS WAIVERS, THAT HAS BEEN THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BOARD NOT TO PASS CLASS SIZE WAIVERS, AND IT COMES TO US.

AND WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, GETTING LIKE MS. RUNKLE SAID A REPORT.

BUT I CHALLENGE TO EVEN THINK BEYOND THAT AND HAVING THAT COME TO US.

RIGHT, BECAUSE AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS OF THE DOI, UNCERTIFIED TEACHERS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY FOR THE CTE PROGRAM, WE HAVE SOME CAMPUSES THAT HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF UNCERTIFIED CTE TEACHERS.

SO THAT CAUSES ME PAUSE.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE ALL THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE RELYING ON THIS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. OROSCO. MS. RUNKLE. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO SAY TOO TO MY POINT LAST WEEK, AND STILL NOT READING THIS THOROUGHLY, I TOO AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS AS IT STANDS TODAY. SO UNTIL I SEE SOME MORE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE AND I'VE REVIEWED THIS EXPLICITLY, I STILL STAND WITH I WOULDN'T SUPPORT THIS TODAY.

OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT IS AMENDMENT TWO.

OUR NEXT AMENDMENT DEALS WITH CONTRACT RENEWAL NOTIFICATION TIMELINE.

[M.2. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment]

THIS IS ON PAGE 122.

I'M SORRY, 121 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET.

ARE THERE ANY CHANGES OR UPDATES TO THIS THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF? DR. MEDINA. YES, SO.

TRUSTEE OROSCO I HAD REQUESTED THAT WE GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE PRINCIPALS AS WELL AS FROM DLT.

I'VE SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH THE DLT TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO HAVE THEM GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK ON EACH PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK ON EACH OF THE AMENDMENTS.

AND SO AS SOON AS I GET THAT, I'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION TO REPORT TO YOU.

I WAS ALSO ASKED TO GO TO THE PRINCIPALS.

I DID VISIT WITH THE PRINCIPALS ABOUT ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS AND RECEIVED OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FOR ALL OF THEM EXCEPT THE PRINCIPAL ONE, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE EXPECTED ANYTHING DIFFERENT. AND SO I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DLT AND AND GET FEEDBACK ON ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS.

BUT THE PRINCIPALS WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE OTHER AMENDMENTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT ONE.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS TEAM FOR DR.

MEDINA? DR. WRIGHT HAS A COMMENT FIRST.

I DO. I JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO THE I'M NOT REAL SURE WHY THE PRINCIPALS WOULDN'T BE HAPPY WITH THAT.

IT ACTUALLY WORKS IN THEIR ADVANTAGE.

SO I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO WE'VE GONE TO TWO YEAR ROLLOVER CONTRACTS AND SO THIS DOESN'T IMPACT SOMEONE THAT HAS TWO YEAR.

THIS IMPACTS SOMEONE THAT DIDN'T GET ACTION TAKEN FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR THAT ONLY HAS ONE YEAR LEFT.

AND IF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM AND YOU AS A BOARD DON'T ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THAT EXTRA FOUR MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR OBJECTIVES, THEN WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO MOVE THAT THEY CONTINUE IN THAT ROLE.

BUT IF THEY HAVE.

BECAUSE TYPICALLY WE WOULD BRING THIS TO YOU IN FEBRUARY, IF WE BROUGHT IT TO IF THEY GET MARCH, APRIL, MAY, AND THEN WE GET THE SCORES IN, THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVE THEMSELVES.

BUT IF WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION BASED ON LAST YEAR'S INFORMATION AND SAY THEIR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR ASSESSMENTS AN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR ASSESSMENTS AREN'T GREAT, BUT THEY'RE AVERAGE, BUT THEY'RE SHOWING A LITTLE GROWTH.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, ARE YOU GOING TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND SAY, NO, HEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM AN ADDITIONAL CHANCE? SO MAYBE I KNOW ESPERANZA ALWAYS TELLS ME I'M OVERLY OPTIMISTIC AND I'M NAÏVE SOMETIMES, BUT I ACTUALLY SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW THEM TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOAL FOR THAT YEAR, MORE SO THAN IF YOU SHUT IT OFF IN FEBRUARY.

AND SO MAYBE I NEED TO SPEAK TO THEM AND TRY TO GET MORE FEEDBACK.

BUT I MEAN, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD FOR THEM AND WE WERE TRYING TO HELP THEM, BUT APPARENTLY THEY DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY.

[01:30:02]

SO I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MORE FEEDBACK FROM THEM.

SOME OF OROSCO, I MEAN, MRS. OROSCO'S COMMENTS AROUND NOT CENTERING EVERYTHING ON STAAR AND TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE, AND I GUARANTEED THEM THAT WE WOULD GO BACK AND CHANGE THAT LANGUAGE.

THEY ALSO REQUESTED THAT PERHAPS INSTEAD OF SAYING THE END OF JUNE, JUNE 30TH, THAT WE GIVE THEM MORE TIME, LIKE 15 DAYS LIKE WE WOULD.

I THINK MRS. OROSCO TRUSTEE OROSCO ALSO MENTIONED THAT AS WELL SAID, DEFINITELY, I CAN CHANGE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE.

I'LL PRESENT THAT TO THE BOARD.

BUT I ALSO NEED TO GO TO DLT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.

SO I THINK THERE'S STILL AN OPPORTUNITY THERE, BUT I THINK THEY WANT TO SEE SOME SMALL REVISIONS, YOU KNOW, TO SOME OF THE LANGUAGE.

OKAY, GREAT. MS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? YES, THANK YOU, DR.

WRIGHT. I THINK IT WASN'T CLEARLY ARTICULATED LAST TIME.

IT WAS QUITE CONFUSING.

SO I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THEM NOT UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE EVEN WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS AND IT'S LIKE, WAIT, WHAT'S THE ENDGAME HERE? WAIT, IS THIS A POSITIVE OR A NEGATIVE? WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION, SO I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND FOR OUR STAFF NOT TO UNDERSTAND EITHER.

RIGHT. SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU HAVE ARTICULATED THAT DR.

WRIGHT. HOWEVER, I WANT AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE PARALLEL TO A TEACHER WHO'S ON A GROWTH PLAN, RIGHT? ARE WE GIVING PRINCIPALS EXTRA TIME TO, YOU KNOW, BE OK AND CONTINUE AND RENEW THEIR CONTRACT THAN WE WOULD A TEACHER WHO HAS BEEN PUT ON A GROWTH PLAN? SO WHEN WE'RE MAKING THOSE CHANGES, THERE'S DOMINOES, RIGHT? AND IF WE'RE GOING TO TREAT PRINCIPALS, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S AN ADDED BENEFIT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE TIME TO PROVE THEMSELVES.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR TEACHERS AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THEM THE EXTRA TIME? AND IF WE'RE NOT, IS THAT FAIR? AND DOES IT NEED TO BE? YEAH. AFTER WE STUDY THIS ONE A LITTLE FURTHER, PERHAPS WE HAD ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE, YEAH, WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE? I MEAN, IF OUR GOAL IS TO GROW AND TO GIVE PEOPLE TIME IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS.

AND NONE OF THESE IN MY MIND WAS FIRST LAID OUT TO BE PUNITIVE IN ANY WAY.

IT WAS TO GIVE PEOPLE MORE TIME TO ACCOMPLISH AND ATTAIN THEIR GOALS.

SO, YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD CONSIDER AS WELL.

RIGHT. SO LET ME ADD JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE COLOR ON THAT.

THE TEACHER HAS THAT ALL TO DO.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DOES COME TO MY MIND IS THAT A TEACHER'S CONTRACT ENDS TYPICALLY THAT MAY THAT LAST WEEK, IN MAY, BEGINNING OF JUNE.

AND SO WE NEED TO TAKE AN ACTION BEFORE THE END OF THEIR CONTRACT.

A PRINCIPAL'S CONTRACT GOES THROUGH JUNE.

SO THEY'RE STILL ON CONTRACT.

AND WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE NOTIFY THEM BEFORE THE END OF THEIR CONTRACT.

AND THAT'S REALLY THE TRIGGER.

BUT YOU RAISE A REALLY GOOD POINT AS WELL.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE EVERYTHING TODAY BECAUSE WE NEED TO THINK IT THROUGH, RIGHT? SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING FOR PRINCIPALS THAT WE WOULDN'T DO FOR TEACHERS.

RIGHT. SO THAT NEEDS TO COME HAND IN HAND.

SO IF YOU'RE ASKING US TO GIVE THIS EXTRA TIME FOR PRINCIPALS, LOVE YOU PRINCIPALS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO FOR THE STAFF AS WELL.

FOR OUR TEACHERS, IT'S ONLY RIGHT AND IT'S ONLY FAIR.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO LOOK AT.

OKAY. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? ALL RIGHT. SO THE NEXT ONE IS THE DUE PROCESS AMENDMENT.

[M.3. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment]

ON PAGE 123.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS ONE? AND I DON'T FORESEE CHANGING ANYTHING WITH THAT ONE AT THIS POINT.

OKAY. I THINK YOU HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD SUPPORT FROM THIS BOARD ON THAT ONE.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN NEXT UP, PROBATIONARY CONTRACTS.

[M.4. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment]

THIS IS AMENDMENT 5 ON PAGE 125.

WE RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM THE PRINCIPALS ON THAT ONE AS WELL.

AND I'LL GET SOME MORE FEEDBACK FROM DLT TOMORROW.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR READING ACADEMY'S AMENDMENT ON PAGE 127.

[M.5. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment]

AND WE'VE CONSISTENTLY RECEIVED SUPPORT ON THAT ONE AS WELL.

SO IF ON ANY OF THESE, IF THE BOARD CAN JUST TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE AND THE POLICY.

AND WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN OUR BOOKS, IS THAT ON BOARD BLOG.

IS THAT GOING TO BE ON.

IN HERE? AND HERE. WITH THE POLICIES, SHE SAYS.

I DIDN'T SEE THE POLICIES IN HERE.

DID Y'ALL SEE THEM. ARE THEY ALL TOGETHER.

OH, YES, YES, I'M SORRY.

YES, I DID THIS AGENDA.

I REMEMBER NOW. NO.

SO STARTING ON PAGE.

YEAH, STARTING ON PAGE 131.

IT STARTS WITH DK.

[01:35:01]

YEAH. AND THEN IT GOES DFAB.

AND ON EACH OF THE AGENDAS DEALING WITH THE AMENDMENTS, YOU'LL SEE BOARD POLICY REFERENCED ON EACH ONE OF THOSE.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.

SORRY. YES, WE SET IT UP THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. OKAY, SO ON READING ACADEMY'S ON PAGE 127, THAT BOARD POLICY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS DMA.

SO TEAM, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT ON YOUR OWN TIME OR WE'LL GET THERE IN A MINUTE, BUT JUST MAKE A NOTE THAT 152 IS LOCAL POLICY DMA DEALING WITH READING ACADEMIES. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION, MS. OROSCO? NO, I JUST THANK YOU FOR GOING TO DLT TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION.

I THINK THE ONLY CONCERNS WE HAD WERE AMENDMENT TWO AN AMENDMENT THREE.

SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO WASTE THEIR TIME OR ANYBODY'S TIME HAVING TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING JUST TWO AND THREE AND THE INPUT AND FEEDBACK WE HAVE PROVIDED, PLUS THE ADDITIONAL INPUT AND FEEDBACK FROM THE ASSOCIATIONS AND PRINCIPAL AND STAFF.

I THINK THOSE ARE THE TWO YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT.

THUS, POLICY SHOULD ALSO BE IN LINE WITH THAT.

I MEAN, I'M FINE WITH THE PRINCIPALS KNOWING JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN HELP EVANGELIZE AND OTHERWISE THEY MAY NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS EVEN GOING TO BE COMING THEIR WAY.

AND AS I'VE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD, FROM PRINCIPALS, WE'VE BEEN TWEAKING THE LANGUAGE ALONG THE WAY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THEM TO SEE WHERE THE LANGUAGE IS ON WITH THOSE AMENDMENTS.

BUT I HEAR YOU.

TRUSTEE OROSCO. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR OUT-OF-STATE CERTIFICATION EXEMPTIONS.

[M.6. Second Reading of proposed amendments to the Hays CISD District of Innovation (DOI) Plan - Amendment]

MS. OROSCO, THIS MAY BE ANOTHER ONE WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT HAVING THE PRINCIPALS TALK ABOUT OR LOOK AT.

I PUT THAT WITH M1.

CORRECT? YEAH. IT'S.

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY AMENDMENT 7.

YES. SO THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

AMENDMENT 7.

AND IT'S ON PAGE 129 BOARD POLICY.

ITS BOARD POLICY, DBA AND DK.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE OUT OF STATE CERT? OTHER THAN RUN THOSE BY DLT AS WELL? WE RECEIVED A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR THIS ONE FROM THE PRINCIPALS AS WELL.

YEAH. NO, I'M EXCITED AGAIN.

EVERYBODY'S MOVING HERE, MIGHT AS WELL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

OKAY. YES.

HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE.

OKAY. SO NEXT UP, THIS IS THE POLICY LANGUAGE TEAM.

[M.7. First Reading of proposed revisions to TASB Policy DK (LOCAL)]

I'M STARTING ON PAGE 131.

SO FIRST UP IS DK.

AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THIS ONE YET.

SO THIS IS A FIRST READING BECAUSE THIS IS ONE THAT TASB CAME BACK AND SAID WE NEEDED ONE PAGE 131.

131 WE HAVEN'T HAD A POLICY DK IN THE PAST, SO WE'LL HAVE TO ADD POLICY DK.

OKAY. SO YOU'LL SEE THIS IS A FIRST READING FOR US TONIGHT AND LOOKS ON PAGE ON PAGE 132, YOU CAN SEE SOME ADDITIONS AND SOME DELETIONS THERE.

ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME TIME TO.

THIS IS AGAIN, THIS IS ONLY OUR FIRST READING OF THIS POLICY.

SO POLICY DK HAS TO DO WITH AMENDMENT ONE.

I'M SORRY AMENDMENT TWO DK LOCAL.

AND YOU'LL SEE IT DEALS WITH THE CTE.

RIGHT. WE'RE ON AGENDA ITEM M7, WHICH IS POLICY DK WHICH IS ON PAGE 132, WHICH RELATES BACK TO DOI AMENDMENT 2.

RIGHT. BECAUSE IT SAYS THIS TRANSMITTAL IS IN REFERENCE TO DOI AMENDMENT 7.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON THE I THINK THERE'S BECAUSE IT'S BOTH.

BOTH.

BECAUSE THE OUT OF STATE CERTIFICATION ALSO DEALS WITH ALT CERT.

SO YOU HAVE KIND OF THE TWO ALT CERT ITEMS BOTH HAVE DK AS PART OF THE POLICY.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMETIMES WE HAVE POLICIES THAT COVER MULTIPLE THINGS.

DBA AND DK POLICY, DBA, AND DK BOTH DEAL WITH AMENDMENT TWO CERTIFICATION EXEMPTIONS.

AND YOU'LL SEE DBA FURTHER DOWN, WHICH THEY HAD ALREADY UPDATED ON PAGE 136.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE IF WE VOTE NO FOR AMENDMENT TWO, THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A POLICY THAT JUST TALKS TO M7.

CORRECT. WILL WE EVEN NEED IT IF WE VOTE?

[01:40:02]

YES. I MEAN, WE ALREADY HAVE WELL WE ALREADY HAVE WE'RE ALREADY DOING THIS WITH CTE.

RIGHT. FOR D.K.. YES, WITH CTE.

RIGHT. SO WE JUST WOULDN'T HAVE TO.

BUT I'M TRYING TO BECAUSE IT COVERS THE OUT OF STATE PEOPLE, YOU SAID.

AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF AMENDMENT TWO WOULD NOT PASS, THEN IT WOULD DIFFER IN THIS POLICY THAT'S LISTED BECAUSE YOU SAID IT COVERS THE OUT OF STATE AND AMENDMENT TWO, CORRECT? I THINK WE WOULD WHEN WE VOTE ON THIS, WE'LL VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENTS FIRST AND THEN THAT WILL DICTATE KIND OF WHAT POLICIES WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO IMPLEMENT.

OKAY. SO THEN IT WOULD BE PULLED AND WE WOULD JUST REVERT TO WHAT WE HAVE.

OKAY IF IT WERE TO FAIL. ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE DK RIGHT NOW, IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

RIGHT? SO DK CURRENTLY IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NOW.

SO WHAT I WAS THINKING, TRUSTEE PETREA, IS THAT SO RIGHT NOW IT INCLUDES ALL OF CTE, MATH, SCIENCE AND LOTE AT THE SECONDARY AS WELL AS OUT OF STATE.

OKAY. THE BOARD'S WILL WAS NOT TO DO OUT OF STATE.

WE WOULD STRIKE THAT PART IN THE POLICY.

RIGHT. SO IT SAYS IN ADDITION, THE SUPERINTENDENT CAN APPROVE A REQUEST FOR A QUALIFIED TEACHER WHO IS CERTIFIED OUT OF STATE.

WE WOULD REDACT THAT LANGUAGE RELATED TO OUT OF STATE OR IF YOU WANTED THAT, BUT NOT THE MATH, SCIENCE AND LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH, THEN WE WOULD REDACT THAT.

BUT BACK TO MS. OROSCO'S POINT, DO WE EVEN NEED SHOULD WE HAVE HAD DK ALL ALONG? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I FIRST I TOOK THE POLICIES THAT WHERE WE HAD CHANGED THE CTE, CORRECT? THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT I SENT TO TASB.

AND SO IT SURPRISED ME WHEN THEY CAME BACK WITH ANOTHER.

BUT THEY DID. SO DOES THAT ANSWER MY QUESTION? SHOULD WE HAVE HAD DK ALL ALONG? I THINK WE SHOULD. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE, YES.

SO SO DK SPECIFIES THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN CAMPUS ASSIGNMENTS ON DK AND THEN ON DBA.

IT'S STATE TEACHER CERTIFICATION.

SO IT JUST DRILLS DOWN FROM THE STATE LEVEL TO THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

SO DK LOCAL, IT GOES TO THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

GOT IT. OKAY.

IS THAT HELPFUL? I'M FOLLOWING RIGHT ALONG.

YES. BASED ON WHAT AMENDMENTS GET PASSED MAY DICTATE WHAT POLICY EDITS NEED TO BE MADE FOR SURE.

YEAH. YEAH.

OKAY, SO WE HAVE POLICY DFAB ON PAGE 134.

[M.8. First Reading of TASB Policy DFAB (LOCAL)]

AND IT DOESN'T SAY WHICH AMENDMENT THIS HAS TO DO WITH, BUT I'LL FIND IT REALLY QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW WE TRIED TO.

IT'S AMENDMENT THREE, PERFECT.

AMENDMENT THREE. IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN THE CENTER OF THE.

OH, I DO SEE IT. IT'S A GRAY HIGHLIGHT.

SO IT'S HARD FOR MY OLD EYES TO SEE OK.

YES. AND THIS WAS A POLICY THAT WE NEEDED TO ADD.

WE DON'T HAVE THIS CURRENTLY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE NEXT ONE, DBA.

[M.9. Second Reading of proposed revision to Policy DBA (LOCAL)]

THIS ISN'T THIS IS ONE THAT AFFECTS AMENDMENT TWO.

AND I'M ASSUMING AMENDMENT SEVEN, ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY THAT ON THE TRANSMITTAL.

YES. ESPERANZA.

OKAY. WE DO HAVE A DK LOCAL AND A DK LEGAL.

AND I THOUGHT THEY HAD SAID THAT IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE NEEDING TO ADD IT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE DIDN'T KNOW.

TASB CAME BACK AND SAID, YOU NEED TO UPDATE THESE, AND WE HADN'T SUBMITTED.

WE HAVE HAD THEM.

THE WAY IT WAS CONVEYED TO US THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A DK, WE DIDN'T HAVE A DK, AND WE DO HAVE A DK IT'S DFAB AND AT THE TOP IT SAYS AD POLICY, BUT WE HAVE ALL OF THESE.

WE'RE JUST MODIFYING POLICIES.

SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING NEW THAT TASB THROUGH A DK AT US ALL OF A SUDDEN.

AS DFAB THEY DID ADD TO IT.

WHICH ONE? DFAB LOCAL.

YES. BUT THEY SAID IS WHAT THEY SAID LAST WEEK.

WE DO HAVE DFBA.

DFAB. LET ME LOOK AT THAT ONE.

DFAB DCA IS ANOTHER ONE THAT THEY INDICATED IS AN AD POLICY.

DCA.

WE DO HAVE DFAB.

LOCAL? LET ME.

YES, WE DO. LET ME SEE.

WE HAVE LEGAL AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE LEGAL.

RIGHT. WE NEED TO ADD LOCAL.

WHAT PAGE NUMBERS ARE THEY?

[01:45:01]

135 IS THE ACTUAL POLICY.

IT'S LIKE A TINY PARAGRAPH.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. THEN WE HAVE POLICY DBA LOCAL.

AND THIS, AGAIN, DEALS WITH OUR ALT CERT.

I'M TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE.

NEXT UP, DCA.

[M.10. Second Reading of proposed revisions to Policy DCA (LOCAL)]

THIS IS AMENDMENT FIVE.

AND THIS WAS AN ADD POLICY.

ESPERANZA, YOU WANT TO LOOK IT UP? DCA LOCAL.

MM HMM. YES. OKAY, SO WE'RE.

WE WOULD ADD THAT TO OUR LOCAL.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT. AND THEN DFA IS ON PAGE 140.

[M.11. Second Reading of proposed revisions to Policy DFAA (LOCAL)]

THIS IS DEALING WITH AMENDMENT FOUR, THE DUE PROCESS.

SO THIS TALKS ABOUT A PROBATIONARY CONTRACT.

YES, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT BOTH WITH PROBATIONARY CONTRACTS AS WELL AS TERM CONTRACTS.

AND SO SPECIFICALLY, DFAA SPEAKS TO PROBATIONARY CONTRACTS AND DFBA SPEAKS TO TERM CONTRACT.

GOT IT. WHICH IS NEXT UP ON PAGE 143.

[M.12. Second Reading of proposed revisions to Policy DFBA (LOCAL)]

YES, IT DOES.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON EITHER ONE OF THOSE? ALPHABET SOUP NIGHT OKAY DFBA AND THEN DFBB IS AMENDMENT

[M.13. Second Reading of proposed revisions to Policy DFBB (LOCAL)]

THREE. DEALING WITH OUR PRINCIPAL NOTICE.

SO LET'S LOOK AT THAT.

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ON PAGE 149.

AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT I WOULD LIKELY.

ONCE I GET DLT'S FEEDBACK THAT WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE INSTEAD OF NO LATER THAN JUNE 30TH, IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT NO LATER THAN JUNE 15TH TO GIVE THE PRINCIPALS AND TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE HEARD.

AND IT MAKES SENSE TO ME TO.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT? ALL RIGHT. AND THAT'S THE ONE YOU'RE GOING TO POSE TO DLT TOMORROW.

YES, MA'AM. AND DR. WRIGHT'S GOING TO GIVE HIM A BETTER EXPLANATION OF WHY THEY WANT THIS, WHY IT HELPS THEM.

THEN WE HAVE DMA.

[M.14. Second Reading of proposed revisions to Policy DMA (LOCAL)]

152. I WANT ONE OF THESE TO BE LIKE DMX THE RAPPER OR SOMETHING FUN, BUT IT'S NONE OF THESE ARE FUN.

DMA 152 THIS IS IN REGARDS TO AMENDMENT SIX, WHICH HAS TO DO WITH READING ACADEMIES. IF I'M REMEMBERING MY AMENDMENTS CORRECTLY, THAT IS CORRECT.

AND PAGE 153 SHOWS WHAT ADDITIONS WILL BE MADE.

MS. OROSCO, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

IT'S A SO I'M READING THE RED THAT'S ON THE TOP AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS IN REFERENCE TO.

IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE WE NEEDED TO READ OR ARE WE JUST LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT THE BLUE? I'M SORRY. SO, LIKE AT THE TOP OF 153, IT SAYS IN RED NOTE COLON.

THIS LOCAL POLICY HAS BEEN REVISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DISTRICT'S INNOVATION PLAN.

AND THEN IT HAS A FOOTNOTE REFERENCE TO IT.

BUT THERE'S NO FOOTNOTE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? IT'S JUST THE BLUE.

DO WE JUST X OUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING UP AT HERE OR WHAT? SO TYPICALLY WHAT I HAVE NOTICED THAT TASB HAS DONE ON ANY OF THE POLICIES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY A DOI, THEY INDICATE AT THE TOP THAT IT'S BEEN THAT THIS POLICY HAS BEEN AFFECTED IN SOME WAY BY DOI.

INTERESTING. OKAY.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, ESPERANZA? YES. AND I'M LOOKING AT THE POLICY, SO THANKS.

IS THERE A FOOTNOTE ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING FOR THAT LITTLE.

WELL, I GUESS NOT. I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE GOING TO ADD A FOOTNOTE OR MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T LIKE HANGING ONES THAT NO FOOTNOTE IS ASSOCIATED WITH.

MR. SEVERANCE, DO YOU HAVE? I THINK IF YOU LOOK IN THERE, THE WORD FIRST IS STRUCK OUT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN RED TO NOTIFY THE CHANGE.

[01:50:07]

AND SO IT SAYS SECOND.

AND THEN FIRST ON PAGE 153, THAT'S PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL WE'RE LOOKING FOR TO SHOW THE CHANGE WHERE THE REVISION WAS.

BUT IT'S JUST HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.

YEAH. MAYBE.

OKAY. HOPEFULLY THAT GETS CLEANED UP.

OKAY. DID YOU HEAR DR. WRIGHT? DR. WRIGHT, CAN YOU SAY THAT ON THE MICROPHONE? SO. SO THE LEGAL SAYS THAT YOU MUST DO YOUR READING ACADEMY TRAINING IN THE FIRST YEAR OF PLACEMENT IN THAT GRADE LEVEL.

AND AND WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS EXCEPTION SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW THEM TO DO IT IN THE SECOND YEAR.

SO I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST IS STRICKEN AND BECAUSE IT IS WHAT LEGAL, SPEAKS TO.

IS THAT HELPFUL? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT DMA? OKAY. THAT CONCLUDES OUR ALPHABET SOUP ITEMS. THANK YOU, TEAM. SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT.

SOME OF THOSE ARE FIRST READING DK AND DFAB AND THEN THE REST OF THESE ARE SECOND READINGS.

WE HOPE TO VOTE ON ALL OF THIS IN FEBRUARY.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME MORE GUARDRAILS.

I HAVE SOME GRAMMATICAL EDITS I'D LIKE TO GIVE SOMEBODY.

NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE MORE TO GIVE YOU, AND I'M SORRY IN ADVANCE, BUT I WILL GIVE THOSE TO SOMEBODY.

AND THEN AND THEN WE'LL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO MAKE A DECISION.

RIGHT. WHATEVER THAT IS.

OKAY. AND THEN WE WILL RESPECT THE BODY, CORPORATE, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE AT THE END OF THAT VOTE, AS WE ALWAYS DO.

YES. OKAY.

NEXT UP, DO WE HAVE ANY UPDATES FROM MS. SKROCKI ON SAFETY AND SECURITY? OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISS SKROCKI WHILE SHE'S HERE? ALL RIGHT, PERFECT. ALL RIGHT.

[M.16. Update on bond, construction, and renovation projects in the district]

THE NEXT STEP IS OUR UPDATE ON BOND CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION PROJECTS IN THE DISTRICT.

MR. CLEAVER, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER? ON UPDATES ON BOND PROJECTS.

IS DAHLSTROM DONE? IT LOOKS DONE.

I'LL ASK THAT. I WOULD LIKE A TOUR OF DAHLSTROM WHEN IT'S READY AND DONE.

I THINK FOR THE MOST PART THEY'RE DONE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PUNCH LIST ITEMS AND MAYBE SOME OF THE EXIT DEALS DONE.

DO WHAT? THAT FEELS DONE.

YEAH, IT'S GETTING REALLY, REALLY CLOSE.

THERE'S STILL SOME PILES OF DIRT AND THINGS, BUT WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE.

OKAY, SO MAYBE FEBRUARY TOUR OR TOUR? YEAH. CAN YOU ALL SHOOT ME SOME DATES? AND WHAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR Y'ALL? I CAN. PERFECT.

FBOC IS TO INVITE THEM.

YEAH. GREAT. MAYBE MISS GLORIA CAN HELP US GET THAT SCHEDULED.

ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. CLEAVER? WELL, WE HAVE HIM HERE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. CLEAVER.

AND THEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

RANDY BROWN THIS IS ON PAGE 156.

NO QUESTIONS. ALL ABOUT.
