OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT IS NEXT ON THE AGENDA.

[G. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

SO TONIGHT I TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD GIVE YOU AN UPDATE FROM MY LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING LAST WEEK, AND I INTEND TO DO SO.

AND A FRIEND OF MINE WAS AT THE CAPITOL, AND THEY ACTUALLY SAW THIS CAR PARKED AT THE CAPITOL AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE PLATE.

AND IT SAYS, THOSE WHO CAN TEACH, THOSE WHO CANNOT PASS LAWS ABOUT TEACHING.

AND THAT'S KIND OF THE SENTIMENT THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION RIGHT NOW.

THERE ARE A LOT OF BILLS, AND AS I GO THROUGH THEM, THERE AREN'T A TON OF THEM THAT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF STUDENTS AT THIS POINT.

IT'S MORE POLITICAL IN NATURE.

LOTS OF POLITICAL RHETORIC AND SO LET ME TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE.

WE'RE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

AND AS THE GENTLEMAN THAT EXPLAINED IT TO ME SAID.

THEY'RE FOCUSED ON PROPERTY TAX RELIEF, NUMBER ONE, SCHOOL SAFETY NUMBER TWO, AND TEACHER RECRUITMENT RETENTION NUMBER THREE AND ALL THE ALL THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS. BUT HE ALSO SAID THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE FOURTH QUARTER, YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRICK PLAYS, PENALTIES AND THEN OVERTIME.

AND RIGHT NOW WITH THE SCHOOL FINANCE BILLS, THE HOUSE HAS PASSED THEIR BUDGET, THE SENATE'S PASSED THEIR BUDGET.

AND SO NOW THEY'RE AT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

AND SO THEY'RE WAITING TO MEET SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

AND SO WE'LL SEE SEE WHERE THAT LANDS US IN THE END.

THE OTHER THING THAT HE SAID THAT THE MANTRA THAT OR THE FEELING THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE LEGISLATURE THIS TIME IS THAT THEY WANT LESS GOVERNMENT, BUT THEY WANT TOTAL CONTROL.

ALL RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE HEARING.

BUT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON JUST SOME INDIVIDUAL BILLS THAT WE'RE WATCHING, SO BOTH VOUCHER BILLS, THE VOUCHER BILL PASSED THE SENATE. THERE IS A VOUCHER BILL THAT'S BEEN REFERRED TO THE HOUSE PUB ED COMMITTEE, AND THEY'LL BE DISCUSSING IT SOON.

THE OTHER ONE THAT WE'RE REALLY WATCHING IS THE HIGHLY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BILL.

IT'S 1605 THAT BASICALLY STEMS FROM THE TEACHER TASK FORCE VACANCY COMMITTEE, WHEREAS TEACHERS SAID THEY NEEDED MORE

[00:05:03]

AND SO THE COMMISSIONER INTERPRETED THAT TO MEAN THAT WE SHOULD HAVE LESSON PLANS THAT ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR TEACHERS FOR EVERY SUBJECT.

THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IF YOU'RE TEACHING A CLASS, SOMETIMES YOU'RE GOING TO DO OUTSTANDING.

THE KIDS ARE GOING TO MASTER ALL THE MATERIAL AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET AHEAD.

AND SO THEN YOU MOVE FORWARD AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT ON THAT DAY.

SO YOU MOVE BACK A DAY.

AND SO WE'RE REAL INTERESTED TO SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING TO GO.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT REMEMBER C-SCOPE, IT KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO RESURRECT C-SCOPE AGAIN.

AND SO WE'RE WATCHING THAT ONE CLOSELY BECAUSE IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT IF YOU DON'T GO WITH TEA'S VERSION, THEN YOU WOULD LOSE MONEY FOR YOUR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ALLOTMENT.

SO WE'LL WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT'S GOING TO GO.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING WE'RE WATCHING IS THE VIRTUAL EDUCATION BILL.

YOU KNOW, DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE OFFERED VIRTUAL ED KIND OF IN A HYBRID FORMAT AND SOME KIDS REALLY SUCCEEDED AND WERE SUCCESSFUL.

OTHERS WERE NOT. IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE.

BUT NOW THEY'RE DISCUSSING THE POSSIBILITY OF FUNDING VIRTUAL ED, AND SO I THOUGHT MS. SEDILLO WAS GOING TO SHOOT ME THE OTHER DAY WHEN I TOLD HER THAT WE PROBABLY NEEDED TO LOOK AT HOW TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL ED, BECAUSE IF WE GET FUNDING THEN WE WILL NEED TO ESTABLISH CRITERIA AND DECIDE HOW WE CAN OFFER IT FOR KIDS THAT THAT'S THEIR LEARNING STYLE.

AND IT WOULD BEST SUIT THEIR NEEDS.

AND SO THAT'S HANGING OUT THERE AS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WOULD BE FUNDED.

SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT HOUSE BILL 4402, WHICH CHANGES THE A THROUGH F FORMULA IN HOUSE BILL 2808, WHICH IS THE FINALITY OF A THROUGH F SCORES AND COMING UP WITH A PROPER WEIGHTING AND BALANCE FOR THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM.

SO THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS STILL PENDING AND SO THE BEST ADVICE THAT THE GENTLEMAN GAVE US THAT GAVE US THE OVERVIEW WAS, YOU KNOW, DON'T HANG YOUR HAT ON ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS THE FOURTH QUARTER AND A LOT OF THINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

AND SO JUST WAIT FOR IT.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

SO NOTHING CONCRETE YET ON THE SCHOOL FINANCE BILL, BUT EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, IF THE BILL IS HEARD BY SENATE ED OR HOUSE PUB ED AND IT'S LEFT PENDING, THEN IT CAN BE ATTACHED TO ANY BILL THROUGHOUT THE SESSION.

SO ONCE IT'S HEARD AND IT'S PENDING, IT'S FAIR GAME.

AND SO THAT'S WHY HE'S SAYING TRICK PLAYS.

HE SAID LOOK FOR SEVERAL BILLS TO BE ATTACHED AND SEQUENCED TOGETHER.

SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.

AND SO BEFORE I MOVE ON, BOARD MEMBERS, ANY ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE BEFORE I MOVE TO HIGHLIGHTS? I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.

I LOVE YOUR SPORTS ANALOGY.

NUMBER ONE, WITH HOW THIS IS ALL GOING IN TERMS OF OVERTIME.

WHAT'S THE PREDICTION WITH THE SPECIAL SESSION? ARE THEY SAYING YET WHAT IT'S LOOKING LIKE, A SPECIAL SESSION? I THINK THERE'S A PROBABILITY THAT IT MAY OCCUR.

YEAH. OKAY.

WELL, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT WE'LL SEE.

IT'LL IMPACT OUR BUDGETING.

EXACTLY. THAT'S WHY I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT.

BUT. PERFECT. MAYBE THEY'LL WORK OUT SOMETHING SOONER.

ALL RIGHT. AND HIGHLIGHTS.

WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE.

SO JOHNSON'S SOFTBALL TEAM FINISHED AS DISTRICT CO-CHAMPS WITH DRIPPING SPRINGS.

THEY HAD A PLAYOFF LAST NIGHT.

UNFORTUNATELY, JOHNSON LOST 3 TO 2 IN EXTRA INNINGS, SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE NUMBER TWO SEED AND THEY WILL PLAY VISTA RIDGE ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

AND THEN HAYS SOFTBALL FINISHED AS THE DISTRICT RUNNERS UP BEHIND LIBERTY HILL.

AND THEY OPEN UP WITH SEGUIN ON FRIDAY.

AND THEN WE HAD OUR LIVE OAK ACADEMY GOLFER QUALIFY BACK TO BACK FOR THE TWO A STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT.

HIS NAME IS JARED WHITE.

AND SO WE WISH HIM WELL.

AND LET'S SEE THE SPRING SHOWS FOR ALL OUR DANCE TEAMS. AND WE HAVE SOME DANCERS HERE TONIGHT.

HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WILL BE HELPING YOUR HIGH SCHOOL OUT SOON.

THOSE SHOWS HAVE HAVE TAKEN PLACE LAST WEEKEND AND ARE GOING TO TAKE PLACE THIS WEEKEND AS WELL.

AND SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO GO AND SEE THEM THEN.

REGIONAL TRACK HAYS HIGH SCHOOL HAD THREE QUALIFIERS AND JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL HAD 13 QUALIFIERS FOR REGIONAL TRACK, AND BOTH THE FIVE AND THE SIX. A TRACK MEET WILL BE AT HERO STADIUM IN SAN ANTONIO.

AND NEXT.

DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THIS ON THE NEWS FEED, BUT HAYS CISD WAS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE BEST.

[00:10:06]

SO THAT'S PRETTY PRESTIGIOUS.

STAAR TESTING IS OCCURRING THIS WEEK.

AND SO AS ALWAYS, WE HAVE A GROWTH MINDSET.

HOPEFULLY WE'RE NOT PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE OR ANXIETY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE WANT OUR KIDS TO DO THE VERY BEST AND SO WISH EVERYONE WELL THERE.

AND WE HAD OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR LUNCHEON AFTER A TWO YEAR HIATUS.

WE HAD IT THIS PAST WEEK AND OUR VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF ORGANIZING AND RECOGNIZING THE VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR FROM EACH OF OUR CAMPUSES FOR MENTORS.

AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY VOLUNTEER AND SUPPORT OUR KIDS AND TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT.

THEN BASEBALL UPDATE SO HAYS AND LEHMAN ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER TONIGHT, WEATHER PERMITTING, AND BOTH OF THEM ARE IN THE HUNT FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT.

IF HAYS WINS ONE GAME THEY'RE IN.

IF LEHMAN WINS TWO GAMES IN THE SERIES, THEN THEY'RE IN.

I JUST HATE THAT WE'RE NOT BEATING SOMEONE ELSE FROM OUTSIDE OF HAYS CISD AND WE HAVE TO KNOCK.

ONE OF US IS GOING TO GET KNOCKED OUT.

SO ANYWAY, JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL HAS ALREADY CLINCHED A BASEBALL PLAYOFF, BUT THEY COULD FINISH EITHER AS THE DISTRICT CHAMPS OR THEY COULD FINISH AS NUMBER FOUR DEPENDING.

DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS THIS WEEK.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAD OUR FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY.

THAT'S WHY SO MANY OF US HAVE RED FACE.

AND LOOK, WIND BURNED BECAUSE WE ARE AND THE FOUNDATION RAISED, I THINK ABOUT $50,000 FOR THE FOUNDATION. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN IN THE FALL.

SO IT WAS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS AND APPRECIATE EVERYBODY ON THE FOUNDATION FOR WORKING TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR KIDS AND OUR TEACHERS.

AND SO THAT'S THE HIGHLIGHT.

GREAT. THAT'S A LOT, A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AROUND THE DISTRICT.

ALL GOOD STUFF. TEAM.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DR.

WRIGHT? OKAY, PERFECT.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC FORUM I NEED TO GET MY SCRIPT READY FOR.

[H. PUBLIC FORUM]

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER TONIGHT.

JUST A REMINDER, ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD IN PUBLIC FORUM MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE GREEN SHEET LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE MEETING AND TURNED THAT IN ADVANCE OF US COMING BACK OUT INTO OPEN SESSION.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS IS LIMITED TO THE PUBLIC FORUM PORTION OF THE MEETING AS PROVIDED IN BOARD POLICY BED LOCAL.

JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT AUDIO AND VIDEO OF PUBLIC FORUM IS RECORDED AS PART OF THE RECORDING OF THE ENTIRE MEETING AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE.

WITHOUT ALTERATION, A PERSON WHO CHOOSES TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FORUM IS CONSENTING TO THE ONLINE PUBLICATION OF THEIR COMMENTS.

SO AS I SAID, WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER.

IT IS SHELLY O'DONNELL.

SHELLY, YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES IF YOU'LL COME TO THE PODIUM AND YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN ON THAT MIC AND TAP ON IT AND MAKE SURE THAT IS WORKING.

AND AS SOON AS YOU START TALKING, THE TIMER WILL START.

YOU WANT TO GIVE ME THIS? IF DON'T. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBERS AND DR.

WRIGHT FOR ALLOWING ME TO APPROACH YOU TODAY.

AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT SOME INFORMATION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

ONE YEAR AGO, THE TEACHER REUSE WAS GRANTED NONPROFIT 500 AND 1C3 STATUS TO ALLOW US TO SERVE CENTRAL TEXAS TEACHERS.

THE TEACHER REUSE ACCEPTS DONATIONS OF MUCH NEEDED CLASSROOM SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS AND MAKES THEM AVAILABLE TO OUR TEACHERS AT NO COST. WE ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WELFARE OF OUR SCHOOLS WHILE ENCOURAGING RECYCLING AND REUSE.

WHERE DO THESE SUPPLIES COME FROM? COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BUSINESSES AND RETIRED TEACHERS.

OUR 2022 REPORT CARD.

OUR DOORS WERE OPEN AUGUST UNTIL MID NOVEMBER LAST YEAR AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE $80,000 OF FREE SUPPLIES TO 600 TEACHERS.

200 OF THESE TEACHERS WERE HAYS CISD TEACHERS DUE TO PROXIMITY.

[00:15:02]

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACQUIRE A PERMANENT FACILITY TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.

TODAY'S DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE PRICED US OUT AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ADEQUATE FACILITIES TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. THEREFORE, OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN ON ACQUIRING LOW COST OR POSSIBLY FREE FACILITIES TO OPEN OUR DOORS ONCE AGAIN.

OUR CONCEPT OF PROVIDING FREE SUPPLIES IS SOUND.

THE WELMAN PROJECT IN FORT WORTH.

HERE'S THEIR REPORT CARD.

THEY SAVED $2 MILLION IN ONE YEAR IN 2022, SERVING 5600 TEACHERS.

I GOT A CALL ON FRIDAY FROM JOE GREEN AT REGION 13 SERVICE CENTER.

THEY HAD SUPPLIES STORED AWAY IN CLOSETS AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE AND WAS MADE TO CLEAN OUT THEIR CLOSETS.

HE SAID HE HAD ONE ROOM AVAILABLE FOR REGION 13 EMPLOYEES TO DONATE THE SUPPLIES TO, AND IT GREW TO PALLETS AND PALLETS AND PALLETS AND FIVE CLASSROOMS OR ROOMS FOR.

TRAINING. HE ASKED ME IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GIVE AWAY THESE SUPPLIES, WILL YOU TAKE THEM? I TALKED TO A TEACHER WHO THAT WHO DID SHOW UP TO THAT ONE DAY EVENT AND SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS GONE IN ONE HOUR. THERE WERE A LINE OUT THE DOOR FOR OF TEACHERS WHO WANTED FREE SUPPLIES.

AND SO THERE WERE NO SUPPLIES LEFT.

WE HAVE TWO STORAGE UNITS FULL OF SUPPLIES TO TEN BY 30 FULL OF SUPPLIES AND NO WAY TO GET THESE OUT TO TEACHERS.

THE WELLMAN PROJECT IN FORT WORTH STARTED BY A SCHOOL DISTRICT, HELPING THEM WITH A BUILDING, AND THEY ARE NOW ON THEIR OWN.

THEY HAVE 10,000FT² AND THEY OFFER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. THEN THEY HAVE GROWN ENORMOUSLY.

AND IT IS THE GOAL OF THE TEACHER REUSE TO REPLICATE THE SAME SUCCESS TO BENEFIT OUR CENTRAL TEXAS TEACHERS.

AND WITH HAYS BEING IN THIS LOCATION, WE WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD BENEFIT THE VERY MOST.

OUR WISH IS TO SET UP OPERATIONS RIGHT HERE.

JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT HAYS CISD WAS OUT OF OUR REACH, WE WERE INFORMED BY ONE OF OUR OTHER NONPROFIT PARTNERS WHO SERVES DISABLED ADULTS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE THROUGH HAYS CISD IN THIS BUILDING.

SO WE ARE ASKING FOR CONSIDERATION AGAIN TO GET SOME HELP THROUGH HAYS CISD UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO GET ON OUR OWN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, MS. O'DONNELL.

I DID LEAVE SOME HANDOUTS.

I KNEW NOT TO GIVE THEM TO YOU BEFORE I SPOKE BECAUSE YOU'D BE LOOKING AT THEM AND SMART THINKING TO ME.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE. WE WILL DEFINITELY READ THEM.

MISS O'DONNELL. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS WHAT I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU ARE HERE FOR, AND THAT IS OUR CAMPUS RECOGNITION.

[I. CAMPUS RECOGNITION]

SO I THINK MARY NOBLE AND JOANNE CARLISLE MAY BE HERE OR DR.

WATSON. PERFECT.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT PETRIE.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. WRIGHT. I'VE GOT SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL TODAY FILLING IN FOR MISS NOBLE, BUT IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE JOANNE CARLISLE, THE PROUD PRINCIPAL OF WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SHE'S BROUGHT A PRETTY BIG CROWD WITH HER TO GET YOU GUYS EXCITED ABOUT ALL THINGS WALLACE.

SO COME ON DOWN, MISS CARLISLE.

GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE.

GIVE ME HALF A SECOND TO TURN THE CLICKER.

ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY.

OH, YES. EXCELLENT.

YES. BARBARA SAID AS AS WELL.

SO MY NAME IS JOANNE CARLISLE.

I'M THE PRINCIPAL AT WALLACE AND I'M VERY PROUD TO BE THE PRINCIPAL THERE.

AND I WANTED TO BRING FORWARD MY TRUSTEE LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND, WHO HELPED ME OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND INTRODUCE THEM AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET A LOT OF

[00:20:03]

PETREA GONZALEZ, ALI TYSON AND VICTOR HERNANDEZ.

WHAT WE DO AT WALLACE CANNOT BE DONE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR TEAM.

AND WE ARE A TEAM. WE TALK ALL THE TIME AND THE AMAZING STAFF THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I JUST WANT TO SPOTLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS AND THEN, YES, WE ARE GOING TO SPOTLIGHT OUR LOVELY ROYALS BACK THERE.

SO THIS IS OUR VISION AND MISSION AND WITH OUR VISION AND MISSION.

WALLACE WE USE THIS IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO ON A DAILY BASIS, AND I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT OUR PBIS AND WHAT WE DO WITH THAT. AND SO THE STUDENTS THAT WE SERVE CURRENTLY, WE HAVE AROUND 776 STUDENTS.

THAT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 776 AND 800 THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, JUST WITH IN AND OUT AND MOVEMENT AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH OUR ENROLLMENT, MORE THAN HALF OF OUR STUDENTS ARE IN SOME TYPE OF SPECIAL POPULATION OR PROGRAM.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS TOWARDS THE END OF THE STUDENT PROGRAMS, WE'RE VERY PROUD THAT 263 OF OUR STUDENTS, OUR CURRENT STUDENTS ARE IN A CTE PROGRAM. OUR COURSE.

WE HAVE 437 OF OUR STUDENTS, WHICH IS MORE THAN HALF OF OUR STUDENTS IN AN ADVANCED COURSE.

AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE 395 STUDENTS.

SO WE'RE 50% OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE TAKING A HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT COURSE THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

SO OUR STUDENTS DEFINITELY ARE SPOTLIGHTING WHAT WE'RE DOING THERE AND THEY ARE LIVING UP TO WHAT WE KNOW THEY CAN DO.

WE DO CURRENTLY SIT ABOUT 94% ON OUR ATTENDANCE.

IT FLUCTUATES ABOUT 93.75 ON A DAILY BASIS.

TODAY WAS 98 WITH STAAR TESTING.

SO THAT'LL POP US UP A LITTLE BIT.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR JUST TO HELP OUR STAFF, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING WRIGHT TALKED ABOUT.

THEY ALWAYS NEED MORE TIME FOR PLANNING.

AND SO SOMETHING THAT I IMPLEMENTED IN MY MASTER'S SCHEDULE FOR OUR STAR TESTED TEACHERS IS THEY GET PLC TIME EVERY DAY.

SO THEY HAVE THEIR CONFERENCE, PLUS THEY HAVE A SECOND CONFERENCE WHERE THEY ARE SEEING WITH THEIR CORE CONTENT TEACHERS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DATA AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE TEACHING THINGS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC STUDENTS EVERY DAY.

AND THEN IF IT'S A NON-TESTED SUBJECT, THEY MEET ON TUESDAYS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S VERY HEAVY ON TUESDAYS DURING THOSE PERIODS.

BUT IN EACH OF THOSE WE EITHER HAVE AN ISD AND OR AN ADMINISTRATOR IN THERE TO SUPPORT THEM AS WELL.

SO JUST TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF OUR WONDERFUL CHILDREN AND THE THINGS THAT THEY DO, WE HAD MULTIPLE STUDENTS IN AND IT WAS KIND OF COOL THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MUSIC PROGRAMS IN OUR MUSIC PROGRAMS, WHO MADE IT TO REGIONALS THIS YEAR, WHICH WE ACTUALLY DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF BAND STUDENTS AND CHOIR STUDENTS WHO MADE IT TO REGIONALS, WHO MADE IT OUT OF DISTRICT THIS YEAR ON OUR CAMPUS.

WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE 98% OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN SOME TYPE OF EXTRACURRICULAR, WHETHER THAT BE A SPORT OR A FINE ART OR JUST A CLUB THAT WE OFFER AFTER SCHOOL. WE ALSO DO A MULTIPLE INCENTIVES FOR ATTENDANCE.

SO YOU CAN SEE ONE OF OUR APPS IS ABOUT TO GET WATER.

SHE GETS WATER DUMPED ON HER HEAD.

WE GET PIED IN THE FACE, WE GIVE THEM LITTLE TREATS.

WE TRY REALLY HARD TO GET THEM THERE.

WE'VE ALSO IMPLEMENTED THAT THE GRADE LEVEL WHO HAS THE HIGHEST ATTENDANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR WILL GET $500 TOWARDS THEIR END OF YEAR PARTY OR FIELD DAY OR WHATEVER.

WE END UP DOING WITH THEM.

JUST TO KIND OF INCENTIVIZE COME TO SCHOOL SO THAT AT THE END WE CAN CELEBRATE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE.

WE ALSO HAD OUR ONE ACT PLAY MOVE ON THIS YEAR AND HAVE TONS OF ACCOLADES, WHICH IS REALLY COOL TO SEE WITH THAT PROGRAM AND MULTIPLE SPORTS WHO CAME BACK AS DISTRICT CHAMPIONS.

SO WE'RE ALWAYS VERY COMPETITIVE ON OUR CAMPUS OF WHO'S GOING TO OUT BEAT WHOM.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN I TALKED TO I MENTIONED IT VERY QUICKLY ABOUT OUR PBIS.

SO WE USE OUR PRIDE, WHICH WAS AT THE VERY BEGINNING.

SO OUR STUDENTS ARE PUNCTUAL, RESPONSIBLE, INDEPENDENT, DETERMINED AND ENTHUSIASTIC.

WE USE IT EVERY DAY AND THEN WE USE IT WITHIN OUR PROGRAM.

WE PURCHASE HERO USING OUR TITLE ONE FUNDS, AND WE USE IT TO TRACK POINTS FOR STUDENTS, AND THEY GET POINTS BASED OFF OF THAT ACRONYM.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE POINTS THAT WE GIVE WE'VE GIVEN OVER THE YEAR.

SO MARCH WAS A LITTLE BIT LESS JUST DUE TO HAVING A WHOLE WEEK OFF FOR SPRING BREAK.

BUT OUR STUDENTS ARE DEFINITELY INTO IT.

DEFINITELY OUR SEVENTH GRADE. AS YOU CAN TELL.

WE ALSO HAVE A PRIDE STORE THAT WE MADE ROOM FOR THIS YEAR AND WE GET DONATIONS THROUGH AMAZON WISH LIST OR JUST PEOPLE WHO SEE IT AND THEY DROP THINGS BY OR THEY WE HAVE TEACHERS WHO FIND THINGS IN THEIR HOUSE AND THEY'RE LIKE, I THINK THIS WOULD BE REALLY COOL IN THE PRIDE STORE.

SO STUDENTS, EVERY MORNING IT'S OPEN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS AND THEY CAN GO IN AND CASH IN SOME OF THEIR POINTS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE IN OUR PRIDE STORE.

[00:25:05]

EVERY WEEK THEY PICK A STUDENT OF THE WEEK AND IT'S POSTED OUTSIDE THEIR DOOR TO RECOGNIZE THAT STUDENT.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THE WEEK, STUDENTS GET THAT AWARD FROM THEIR TEACHER SO THEY CAN TAKE THAT CERTIFICATE HOME.

AND THEN AT THE END OF EACH MONTH, WE DO A WHAT WE CALL ROCKING RANGER CEREMONY.

AND WE HAVE ALL OF OUR TEACHERS PICK THEIR OVERALL STUDENT FOR THE MONTH AND WE INVITE OUR PARENTS.

WE ACTUALLY ZOOM IT BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE PARENTS WHO CAN'T JOIN US DURING THE DAY AND WE GIVE EACH OF THEM A CERTIFICATE.

AND WE DEFINITELY WANT OUR PARENTS TO KNOW.

I MEAN, THAT'S 50 OUT OF 800 KIDS WHO ARE BEING RECOGNIZED.

WE DO CHOOSE TWO STUDENTS PER GRADE LEVEL TO BE OUR OVERALL ROCKING RANGERS.

AND YOU CAN SEE COHEN BALL UP THERE WHO'S HOLDING OUR SIGN.

THEY EACH GET A SIGN LIKE THAT IF THEY'RE THE OVERALL TO PLACE IN THEIR YARD, JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE MORE SPOTLIGHT TO OUR CAMPUS.

AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE THE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

WE ALSO DO ADVISORY EVERY DAY, BUT WE DO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE SEL AND INTERVENTION IN THERE.

SO WE DO MONDAYS, THURSDAYS OR CLEAVER INTERVENTION DEPENDING ON WHAT STUDENTS NEED.

TUESDAYS WE DO GRADE CHECKS WITH OUR STUDENTS WEDNESDAYS.

SEL WE USE CHARACTER STRONG FOR OUR PROGRAM AND IT IS BASED OFF OF THE GRADE LEVEL FOR STUDENTS.

SO SIXTH GRADE IS NOT SEEING WHAT SEVENTH GRADE SEES, WHO DOESN'T SEE WHAT EIGHTH GRADE SEES.

SO A STUDENT CAN SEE THREE DIFFERENT THINGS THROUGHOUT THE THEIR CAREER AT WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THEN FRIDAYS WE DO GRADE LEVEL ASSEMBLIES.

WE STILL DO THOSE THROUGH ZOOM BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO WRANGLE 270 KIDS THROUGH ZOOM AS OPPOSED TO ALL IN THE ALL IN THE GYM TOGETHER.

WE ALSO HIGHLIGHT OUR TEACHERS.

SO WE'VE BEEN REALLY WORKING ON HOW CAN WE HIGHLIGHT TEACHERS BECAUSE THEY REALLY ARE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE PRIDE OF THE CAMPUS.

THEY ARE WHAT HELP OUR STUDENTS DO SO WELL.

SO EACH WEEK WE VOTE.

WE NOMINATE AND VOTE ON STAFF OF THE WEEK.

AND DR. WRIGHT GOT TO BE PRIVY TO THAT THIS WEEK, WHICH WAS PRETTY COOL.

WE HIGHLIGHT THEM, WE PUT IN OUR NEWSLETTER, WE PUT IT ON FACEBOOK JUST TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE SEE YOU, WE SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND IT'S NOMINATED BY THEIR COLLEAGUES.

SO IT'S 100% THEM RECOGNIZING EACH OTHER.

WE ALSO DO MONTHLY STAFF PRIDE TROPHIES, SO WE'RE USING OUR PRIDE ACRONYM AGAIN.

AND THEN IN DECEMBER, WE DO THE 12 DAYS OF DRESS UP RIGHT BEFORE THE CHRISTMAS BREAK.

THIS YEAR, I DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY AND PUT THEM IN A DAILY DRAWING.

AND IF YOU WON THE DAILY DRAWING, YOUR NAME WENT INTO A BIGGER BUCKET AND THAT OVERALL PERSON ACTUALLY COVERED THEIR CLASS FOR A WHOLE DAY.

SO I TAUGHT SIXTH GRADE SCIENCE ALL DAY.

THAT WAS QUITE ENTERTAINING.

BUT THE KIDS LOVED IT.

THE TEACHER LOVES IT AND IT GETS ME INVOLVED IN SEEING WHAT THEY'RE DOING ON A DAILY BASIS.

WE DO THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON TOGETHER AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE DONE A STUDENT STAFF VOLLEYBALL GAME AND BASKETBALL GAME THIS YEAR.

AND THEN WHENEVER WE HAVE FIELD DAY, WE ALL GET INVOLVED IN THAT AS WELL.

SO OUR STUDENTS REALLY ENJOY PARTICIPATING AGAINST US.

AND IN THE LAST PART IS JUST THIS IS US, Y'ALL.

WE TRY TO DO THINGS.

I'M GOING TO SAY LIKE A FAMILY IN A SENSE.

VERY OPEN WHERE WE'RE AT, AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME, Y'ALL.

WE SMILE A LOT THERE.

I ENCOURAGE YOU, IF YOU'VE NOT MADE IT TO WALLACE THIS YEAR, PLEASE COME SEE US.

WE'RE HAPPY TO. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU THERE ANY TIME.

SO. I KNOW THAT I DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH TIME, SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR ROYALS BACK HERE.

HOLD ON. I'M GOING TO SAY SOME STUFF ABOUT YOU LADIES.

I WON'T EMBARRASS THEM A LITTLE BIT.

SO OUR ROYALS DANCE TEAM CONSISTS OF SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS, AND THIS YEAR THEY HAD A VERY EXCITING YEAR WITH THEIR COMPETITION SEASON.

THEIR MOST NOTABLE AWARD THIS YEAR WAS OVERALL GRAND CHAMPION MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM AT THEIR VERY FIRST COMPETITION.

WE ALSO HAVE FOUR EIGHTH GRADERS.

GIRLS. I KNOW YOU'RE IN FORMATION, BUT WE HAVE FOUR EIGHTH GRADERS THAT I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE BECAUSE THEY WILL BE MOVING ON TO HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AS EITHER CHAIR OR HIGH STEPPER. SO FIRST IS ISABELLA DURAN.

SHE'S GOING TO BE MOVING ON AS A CHEER.

ARIELA GARZA IS GOING TO BE A HIGH STEPPER.

CAITLYN ORTIZ IS GOING TO BE A HIGH STEPPER.

AND GIANNA JO IS ALSO GOING TO BE HIGH STEPPER.

SO I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THEM NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING AMAZING THINGS AND THEY ALL MADE THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM ALREADY, BUT I NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT TEACHER RIGHT THERE.

MS. SAMANTHA MARTIN.

[00:30:04]

SHE'S UP THERE SOMETIMES 6:30 IN THE MORNING.

ALL OF THEIR LOVELY PARENTS ARE THERE DROPPING THEM OFF.

AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE ALL AT THE.

YOU ALL GO TO EVERYTHING WITH THEM.

I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE.

SO I KNOW THAT THEY PUT IN COUNTLESS HOURS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO I'M GOING TO LET THEM END OUR PRESENTATION.

GREAT JOB, WALLACE. MIDDLE SCHOOL.

YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

YEAH, WE'LL DO A PICTURE FIRST AND THEN MS. CARLISLE WILL, IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS, WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU BACK TO THE PODIUM.

HEY, EVERYBODY, LET'S GIVE ONE MORE ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO OUR WALLACE ROYAL.

WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL FOR SURE.

PURSUING YOUR DANCE AND CHEER CAREERS.

MS. CARLISLE. DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK? AND WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS OR AT LEAST SOME COMMENTS FOR YOU.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

TEAM QUESTIONS FOR MS. CARLISLE MRS OROSCO.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT.

I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, I GO TO WALLACE ALL THE TIME AND BEING AT YOUR SHOWCASE, IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO SEE HOW YOU'RE WORKING ON YOUR PLC, THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY THAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY'RE VERY TARGETED.

AND DID YOU SEE THAT SCHEDULE? I MEAN, THAT SCHEDULE OF THE PLC WAS LIKE A MODEL SCHEDULE.

AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED TO MISS SEDILLO ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH OTHER CAMPUSES BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAPPENING AND WALLACE IS LEADING THE WAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT AND BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.

I KNOW DR. PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO DURING CHRISTMAS TIME AND JUDGE THE CHRISTMAS STORES, AND THE TEACHERS WENT ALL OUT AND IT WAS SO HARD TO DECIDE.

WE ENDED UP WITH A TIE BECAUSE THEY WERE THAT GOOD.

SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH SPELLING BEE AND OTHER EVENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP INVITING US TO YOUR EVENTS BECAUSE WE LOVE AND ENJOY BEING THERE AT WALLACE SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, AND THANK YOU FOR THE PARENTS WHO ARE SO INVOLVED AND OUR GIRLS BACK THERE.

THE ROYALS HAVE BEEN DOING AN AMAZING JOB.

I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE PERFORMED IN SAN ANTONIO.

YOU GOT TO SEE THEM, BYRON, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY MENTION THAT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, IT WAS CHOIR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MISS DR.

PÉREZ-GONZÁLEZ SOUNDS GREAT.

YES, THANK YOU. TRUSTEE OROSCO.

I WAS GOING TO MENTION THE WHOLE PLC.

TOTALLY LOVE THAT SCHEDULE.

AND AS A TEACHER, HAVING A SECOND PLANNING PERIOD WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING BACK IN THE DAY, BUT CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS, CONTINUE TO BE THAT ROLE MODEL.

[00:35:03]

ALL STUDENTS GET TO PARTICIPATE IN CLUBS, A PROGRAM OF SOME SORT, AND THAT I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR KIDDOS TO BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING.

SO I TRULY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU DO THAT TO OUR ADMINISTRATORS WHO DO THE INCENTIVES WITH GETTING WHETHER YOU'RE TOSSED IN, WHATEVER [INAUDIBLE] OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. WHEN I WAS A FIFTH GRADE TEACHER, IT WAS WHIPPED CREAM AND IT WAS THE SSI DAYS WHEN THEY EITHER PASSED IT THE FIRST TIME, SECOND OR THE THIRD.

SO THOSE WERE CHALLENGES WE ALL DID.

SO I APPLAUD YOU AND YOUR CAMPUS AND EVERYONE WHO'S DOING AN AMAZING JOB AT WALLACE.

LADIES, CONTINUE DANCING.

YOU GUYS ARE FABULOUS. AND GOOD LUCK AS YOU CONTINUE ON.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE RUNKLE.

NO QUESTIONS, JUST COMMENTS.

THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING TO US TONIGHT.

IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT EACH OF OUR CAMPUSES DO, BUT I LOVE THE CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE NOT JUST THE STUDENTS BUT THE PARENTS AND THE STAFF.

YOU REALLY NURTURE THAT AND IT SHOWS AND IT'S GREAT.

I LOVE YOUR SEL .

THAT IS, I LOVE YOUR SCHEDULE.

I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE VERY, YOU KNOW, PARTICULAR ABOUT THAT.

SEL IS OUR JAM AND YOU DO REALLY GREAT THINGS AT IT.

BUT ALSO I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR HERO PROGRAM BECAUSE YOU TOUCHED ON HERO.

SO YOU SAID THAT THERE'S POINTS THAT ARE GIVEN.

AND SO HOW DO THE PARENTS GET THAT COMMUNICATION FROM A POSITIVE STANDPOINT? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE STILL ON? YEAH. SO THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS.

SO WE PURCHASED IT LAST YEAR AND IT WAS JUST IMPLEMENTING CAN WE GIVE POINTS? AND THIS YEAR WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON THAT.

AND THEN THE NEXT STEP IS HERO ACTUALLY WILL EMAIL PARENTS A SPECIFIC CODE FOR THEIR CHILD SO THEY CAN GET THOSE ON A DAILY BASIS AND THEN THEY CAN GO IN THERE KIND OF LIKE THEY DO WITH PARENT PORTAL AND THEY CAN SEE HOW MANY POINTS THEIR KID HAS, HOW MANY THEY'VE USED.

WE ALSO DO TRACK ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE.

WE TRACK TARDIES ID INFRACTIONS, DRESS CODE INFRACTIONS.
