AND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH OUR EXCUSE ME, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, LED BY BOARD SECRETARY COURTNEY RUNKLE.

[D. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO UNITED STATES AND TEXAS FLAGS]

[E. MISSION STATEMENT]

THANK YOU. AND OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT WILL BE READ TONIGHT BY TRUSTEE VANESSA PETREA.

[F. SOCIAL CONTRACT]

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE UP TO ITEM G.

[G. PUBLIC HEARING]

THANK YOU ALL.

I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT OUR FIRST REPORT, WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE, STANDS FOR FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS.

YOU GOT IT. THANKS.

SO, WHAT IS SCHOOL FIRST? SCHOOL FIRST STARTED IN THE 2001-2002 FISCAL YEAR.

AND IT'S A INDICATOR OF FINANCIAL HEALTH FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

IT WAS ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE, THE 76TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE, IN 1999.

IT WAS AMENDED BY THE 83RD TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

AND THIS IS THE 19TH YEAR THAT SCHOOL FIRST HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE.

SO THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE FIRST RATING SYSTEM IS TO ENSURE THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.

THE GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE THE QUALITY PERFORMANCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AND IS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO BETTER MANAGE THEIR FINANCIAL RESOURCES.

THE FIRST REPORT THAT WE HAVE FOR 22-23, IT'S BASED ON STUDENT AND STAFF DATA FROM FROM THE YEAR PRIOR.

SO LIKE OUR JUNE 30TH, 2022 FINANCIAL AUDIT AND OUR SCHOOL YEAR ENDING 2122, THAT'S THE INFORMATION THAT GOES INTO THE FIRST REPORT.

THERE'S THE REASON THAT WE HAVE IT TO WHERE IT'S I GUESS A YEAR BEHIND IS BECAUSE THERE'S CERTAIN DEADLINES. LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE WORKING ON THE AUDIT RIGHT NOW FOR 22-23.

[00:05:02]

SO, BY THE TIME TEA GATHERS ALL THE INFORMATION IT'S USUALLY ABOUT A YEAR BEHIND.

SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE POINT SYSTEM OR THE POINT STRUCTURE THAT YOU CAN GET.

A SUPERIOR RATING IS BETWEEN 90 AND 100 POINTS, B IS 80 TO 89, C IS 70.

AND THEN ANYTHING BELOW A 70 IS CONSIDERED AN F OR SUBSTANDARD ACHIEVEMENT.

SO OUR DISTRICT ACTUALLY IMPROVED THIS YEAR.

WE GOT 96 OUT OF 100 POINTS.

SO WE GOT THE A, THE SUPERIOR RATING WHICH IS THE HIGHEST THAT YOU CAN GET.

AND SO WHAT THIS SLIDE KIND OF DOES IS THERE WAS A THERE WAS A REPORT THAT WAS IN THE PACKET.

AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT KIND OF GOES THROUGH THAT REPORT AND EXPLAINS, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST PART OF IT INCLUDES INFORMATION. JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT UNDERSTANDABLE FOR THE LAYPERSON TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL RATING AND HOW IT COMES TO YOU.

CAN YOU CAN SEE THAT ON PAGES THREE AND SIX, ON PAGE SEVEN THROUGH TEN.

THAT'S ME MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO KIND OF TRY TO PUT THESE QUESTIONS INTO A LAYPERSON'S UNDERSTANDING AND KIND OF TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. AND THEN THERE'S SOME REQUIRED DISCLOSURES ON PAGES 11 THROUGH 12.

AND TYPICALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS FOR FOR EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR SUPERINTENDENTS CONTRACT, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SHOW REIMBURSEMENTS OR EXPENSES PAID ON BEHALF OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.

TYPICALLY, WHAT THAT IS, IS THE BOARD CONVENTION THAT TASB PUTS ON IS KIND OF WHAT WE'VE HAD IN OUR HISTORY.

AND THEN I JUST KIND OF ALWAYS ADDED THIS.

AND PAGES 13 THROUGH 19 IS JUST LIKE A GLOSSARY OF SOME COMMON TERMS THAT, THAT YOU'LL HEAR, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE FIRST REPORT OR BUDGET TIME OR, OR EVEN WHEN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE PRESENTED BY OUR AUDITORS.

AND THAT'S REALLY, IT'S JUST A VERY SIMPLE PRESENTATION.

A LOT OF INFORMATION GOES INTO IT, BUT I'M PROUD TO SAY WE GOT THE HIGHEST RATING YOU CAN GET.

SO, WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY TEAM.

ANYBODY. MS. OROSCO. THANK YOU, RANDY.

SO GREAT THAT WE HAVE A SUPERIOR RATING AGAIN.

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE'VE HAD A SUPERIOR RATING? I CAN SPEAK TO EVER SINCE I.

HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? WELL, EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I KNOW WE HAVE.

AND I THINK PRIOR TO THAT, WE'VE HAD IT OFF AND ON, AND I CAN FIND OUT AND PUT THAT IN BOARD BLOG IF.

OKAY. AWESOME.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT AND RANDY, FOR MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A SUPERIOR RATING, AND YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY THAT WAY.

SO, WE APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. MR. VELA. YEAH.

READY? SAME THING.

SORRY. IT'S KUDOS TO YOU AGAIN THE TEAM FOR JUST MAINTAINING THAT RATING.

IT'S A, I'M PLEASED TO HEAR THAT I KNOW WE SIGNED OFF ON THE YOU KNOW THE AYE TEST THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE IN GOOD STANDING FINANCIALLY AND IT'S YOU KNOW THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE CONFIDENTLY CAN SIGN THOSE DOCUMENTS.

SO ANYWAYS GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I DO ALSO JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THE EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY INITEATIVES THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITHOUT A PROPER ACCOUNTING OF WHERE OUR MONEY GOES AND HOW IT'S SPENT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS BECAUSE WE ARE OUR BOOKS ARE SO ACCURATE.

AND SO, THANK YOU.

AND I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE MOVING PARTS, AND WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT YOU PUT INTO THIS.

SO THANK YOU. THANKS.

I BELIEVE THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU, MISS GLORIA.

DO WE HAVE FOR PUBLIC FORUM? DO WE HAVE ANY GREEN SHEETS? OKAY, DEAN, WE ARE MOVING ON.

THEN WE ARE UP TO JAY, WHICH IS.

OH, I'M SORRY, I DID SKIP THAT.

MY FAULT. THANK YOU FOR CATCHING THAT, DR.

[H. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]

HEY, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

ENROLLMENT AS OF TODAY 23,312.

SO WE'RE 130 STUDENTS AWAY FROM THE DEMOGRAPHERS.

PROJECTION ATTENDANCE FROM THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL TILL TODAY, 94.2%.

[00:10:01]

I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE MORE.

SO LET'S CONTINUE TO TRY AND DO BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER.

AND WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND.

THEY FINISHED SEVENTH IN AREA D COMPETITION.

THEY MADE THE FINALS AND JUST TWO PLACES OUT OF GOING TO THE STATE COMPETITION.

AND YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION, FROM EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD, WE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT.

AND SO, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHY WE DIDN'T AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO BETTER TO MAKE IT NEXT YEAR.

BUT I'M SO EXCITED THAT WE DID MAKE THE FINALS.

IT'S A VERY TOUGH AREA AND SO VERY PROUD OF OUR KIDS.

NEXT THING I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT EARLY VOTING STARTED TODAY FOR PROPOSITIONS, AND THERE ARE TWO THAT WILL IMPACT.

THERE'S ONE THAT WILL IMPACT EDUCATORS.

THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT THAT WILL TAKE PLACE SHOULD IT PASS.

RETIRED EDUCATORS HAVEN'T SEEN A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR 19 YEARS SINCE 2004.

AND SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT INFLATION HAS BEEN LIKE.

SO CONSIDER THAT WHEN YOU GO OUT AND VOTE AND ALSO YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF PERSONALLY, THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IF YOU VOTE TO APPROVE WOULD INCREASE FROM 40,000 TO 100,000 ON YOUR PROPERTY.

SO, SEVERAL THINGS THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PROPOSITIONS, BUT THOSE ARE THE TWO I WANTED TO MENTION.

AND THEN FINALLY, HAYS CISD RECEIVED THE BEST-IN-CLASS AWARD TODAY FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT FROM SYNERGISTIC.

WE HAVE, WE SAVED 34% FROM LAST YEAR, AND SINCE WE STARTED WITH THEM, WE HAVE SAVED OVER $2 MILLION IN ENERGY MANAGEMENT BY REDUCING COSTS OF ELECTRICITY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT TAKES A LOT OF WORK ON EVERYBODY'S PART.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'VE DONE SO WITHOUT YOU NOTICING, BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE IF WE CUT SERVICES THAT YOU ALL WOULD HEAR ABOUT IT.

SO WE TRY TO DO SO IN A WAY THAT JUST MAKES SENSE.

SO WE'RE NOT WASTING.

AND SO JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT.

AND BECAUSE WE EARN BEST OF CLASS, SYNERGISTIC PRESENTED A $2,500 CHECK TO THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION TODAY AS WELL.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR.

VANESSA, MS. PETREA? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING OUT THE JOHNSON BAND.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME, SOME MORE 5A.

COMPETITIONS COMING THIS SATURDAY, SO MORE TO COME FROM HAYS AND LEHMAN WE HOPE.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY ON THE SYNERGISTIC THING, MS. OROSCO AND I WERE ON THE BOARD, MAYBE MR. MCMANUS WHEN WE VOTED IN THIS CONSULTANCY.

AND I REMEMBER AT THE TIME THINKING, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS? I MEAN, WE WERE SKEPTICS, BUT WE WERE ALSO, YOU KNOW, WILLING TO LISTEN TO MR. CLEAVER AND SAY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE WE CAN UNPLUG THINGS A LITTLE EARLIER AND ADJUST OUR AC.

AND WE DO HEAR ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY THING WE HEAR ABOUT.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO START OUR ASSES AT NINE AND TURN THEM OFF AT TWO? NOT REALLY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THAT SOME DAYS.

BUT HEY, I AM I, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST I'M PROUD OF OUR, OUR OUR BOARD FOR SAYING HELLO.

THEY WERE AT OUR MEETING LAST WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT TO TALK TO FOLKS FROM SYNERGISTIC, BUT THEY WERE THEY WERE HERE AND ATTENDING OUR BOARD MEETING.

SO I'M GLAD WE DID THAT.

AND I KNOW AT THE TIME IT ALMOST SOUNDED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, FRANKLY.

AND BUT IT WASN'T.

IT WAS REAL. AND WHAT DID YOU SAY? THEY GAVE THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION TODAY.

A $2,500 CHECK.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID 25,000.

NO, 2500.

WELL THAT'S NICE. 2500 IS NOTHING TO BE SAD ABOUT.

OKAY. WELL THANK YOU SYNERGISTIC FOR FOR DOING THAT.

AND I'M HAPPY THAT WE PARTNERED WITH THEM.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONTINUE TO FIND SAVINGS HERE AND THERE.

I'M STILL ADVOCATING FOR LED LIGHTS AT SHELTON.

IF ANYBODY CARES.

OKAY, MS. OROSCO.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT FOR MS. RUNKLE TO CAPTURE, HOW MUCH DO WE PAY OUT TO SYNERGISTICS EVERY YEAR? I KNOW WE HAD TO PAY A PORTION OF WHAT WE WERE SAVINGS.

SO, SINCE WE HAVE VOTED THEM IN, IF YOU CAN FIND OUT HOW MUCH WE HAVE PAID THEM RIGHT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

AND YES, I STILL BELIEVE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE TO TURN ON THOSE ASSETS EARLY AND KEEP THEM ON UNTIL, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST AN HOUR PAST SCHOOL, BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS OF TEACHERS THAT DO CLUBS AFTER SCHOOL, SO THAT'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

I KNOW WE ALWAYS BRING IT UP TO MR. CLEAVER TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE DON'T GO OFF AT 2:45, WHEN KIDS ARE BARELY WALKING OUT AND THEY TURN IT OFF, AND 110 DEGREE WEATHER.

SO I KNOW WE'VE REQUESTED THAT INFORMATION SO MANY TIMES.

[00:15:02]

THANK YOU, MR. RUNKLE. AND I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BRING THAT UP.

SO YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I THINK I JUST HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MR. CLEAVER NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT THAT.

I WAS AT TOM GREEN HELPING WITH THE FIVE K PACKETS, AND IT WAS I MEAN, TEACHERS WERE STILL ON CAMPUS AND I WAS SWEATING AND I'M LIKE, WHERE'S THE AC AROUND HERE? AND THEY'RE LIKE, THEY TURN IT OFF.

SO, I WOULD AGREE, LIKE IF WE HAVE IF WE HAVE TEACHERS THAT STILL HAVE TO REMAIN ON CAMPUS, WE SHOULD AT LEAST LEAVE THE AC ON UNTIL THEY ARE REQUIRED TO LEAVE.

SO I WILL ADD THAT AS A REFRESHER.

AND THEN I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, DR.

WRIGHT FOR THE UPDATES. I WAS NOT HERE LAST WEEK.

I WAS AT THE MCCORMICK AND WALLACE FOOTBALL GAME.

IT WAS THE FIRST HOMECOMING EVER AT ONE OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, WHICH WAS PRETTY AMAZING TO SEE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY SHOUT OUT [INAUDIBLE].

BECAUSE WHEN I ARRIVED TODAY, I GOT THIS AWESOME LITTLE BAG THAT I MISSED OUT ON LAST WEEK, SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.

I WATCHED THEIR PRESENTATION.

IT WAS AMAZING.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL OVER THERE AND VISITING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE DOES IN THE MORNINGS IS SHE WALKS ALL OF HER HALLS AND FIST BUMPS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER STAFF MEMBERS AND TEACHERS AND GIVES THEM A FACE EVERY MORNING AND CHECKS IN WITH THEM.

AND I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS PRETTY AMAZING.

SO, I JUST WANTED TO SHOUT OUT TO YOU, LYNN, AND SAY THAT I'M REALLY SORRY I MISSED IT, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONE AMAZING THING THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ABOUT OUR BOARD MEETINGS ARE THOSE CAMPUS SHOWCASES.

SO THANK YOU FOR MY BAG.

I'M GOING TO USE IT MRS OROSCO IS USING HERS TONIGHT, SO I'M EXCITED TO PUT MY STUFF IN IT.

THANK YOU, MR. FLORES. I ALSO WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE JOHNSON BAND FOR FOR DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB THIS PAST WEEKEND AND ALSO TO THE MARIACHI FESTIVAL THIS SATURDAY WAS EXCELLENT. TRUSTEE, OROSCO AND SEVERANCE WERE ALSO PRESENT.

THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB.

THE HAYS STUDENT SECTION, HAYS HIGH SCHOOL ALL DECKED OUT IN PINK, BRINGING AWARENESS TO BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

AND ALSO DR.

WRIGHT. YOU PUT OUT A STATEMENT TO THE CITY OF KYLE.

THEY HAD A PROCLAMATION WITH JANELLE RODRIGUEZ THERE.

AND I THINK EVERYBODY TRULY LOOKS TO THE DISTRICT AND YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, AS A LEADER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FENTANYL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR STATEMENT THAT WAS READ ON THE DAIS, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING RECENTLY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE THE FIGHT TO FENTANYL.

SO MUCH APPRECIATED.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT.

SO, WE ALREADY DETERMINED THERE'S NO GREEN SHEETS FOR PUBLIC FORUMS. SO NOW WE ARE UP TO ITEM J.

[J. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT]

I'M SURE IT'LL BE UP ON THE SCREEN AS WELL.

BUT A COPY OF THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT PRESENTATION, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS.

MS. CORSON. GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR WRIGHT, WE ARE PROUD TO SHARE AN UPDATE ON THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

WE ARE SO PROUD TO BE A TEA SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YET ANOTHER WAY THAT WE ARE UNRIVALED EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY.

WE'RE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REWARD OUR OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS.

THE HR DEPARTMENT WORKS HAND IN GLOVE WITH CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION, SO I WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER MARIVEL SEDILLO THROUGH THIS, AND TONIGHT YOU'LL BE HEARING DIRECTLY FROM MARY TORRES, WHO IS OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES, TO TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE WITH TEA THIS YEAR.

HI. THANK YOU.

CHRISTINA. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS AND DR.

WRIGHT, OUR SUPERINTENDENT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS TIME AND FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO BE HERE AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT.

IT'S A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE SO PROUD OF HERE AT HAYS, BECAUSE IT'S ONE THAT SUPPORTS EMPLOYEE CENTERED EXCELLENCE FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

DO I USE THIS RIGHT HERE? OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

BARBARA. OKAY.

SO TODAY I'M SO EXCITED TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE PROGRAM, HOW IT'S PROGRESSED.

AND WE'RE IN OUR SECOND SUBMISSION YEAR.

SO, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, JUST AS A REMINDER OF WHAT TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT IS, ITS PURPOSE, HOW IT HAS IMPACTED RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT.

SO, WHAT WE'RE TRACKING FOR THOSE PURPOSES FOR TEA, AS WELL AS OUR CRITERIA FOR THE 22-23 DATA CAPTURE YEAR, I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU JUST SOME PRELIMINARY DATA.

[00:20:02]

SO ALL OF THOSE CONTRIBUTORS.

SO, AS YOU KNOW, TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT IS A PROGRAM THAT WAS PASSED BY THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE LEGISLATURE, EXCUSE ME.

AND ITS PURPOSES ARE TO CREATE A PATHWAY FOR SIX FIGURE SALARIES FOR TEACHERS.

THEY ALSO ALLOW US TO IT HELPS US TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHERS AND SPECIFICALLY AT TRADITIONALLY HARD TO STAFF SCHOOLS.

SO, WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE THAT PROGRAM HERE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WE GO OUT TO JOB FAIRS AND TALK TO TEACHERS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE ALWAYS SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH THEM ABOUT HOW THEY CAN COME TO HAYS AND BE PART OF THIS AMAZING PROGRAM, BECAUSE NOT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS PARTICIPATE. SO THROUGH TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, TEACHERS CAN EARN THREE DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS AS YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZED, EXEMPLARY, AND MASTER.

AND THE AMOUNTS THAT YOU SEE HERE ARE THE ALLOTMENTS THAT ARE AWARDED HERE AT HAYS CISD.

SO THOSE ARE THE RANGES THAT WE HAVE.

SO THROUGH TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT THEY CAN EARN THESE DESIGNATIONS.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER PATHWAY TO EARN A RECOGNIZED DESIGNATION WHICH IS TO BECOME NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED.

AND IF ONCE THEY HOLD THAT CERTIFICATION, THEY BECOME RECOGNIZED TEACHERS.

SO WE ALWAYS WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH TEACHERS WHEN WE GO OUT TO CAMPUSES, THAT THEY CAN BECOME RECOGNIZED THROUGH TEA OR THROUGH NATIONAL BOARD.

SO I DO WANT TO THANK YOU, OUR BOARD, FOR CONTINUING TO SUPPORT OUR NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS.

THE STIPEND THAT THEY RECEIVE ONCE THEY'RE CERTIFIED, THEY ARE IN.

WE'RE STARTING OUR SECOND YEAR.

SO WE HAVE THAT SECOND COHORT GOING AND WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK.

THEY'RE CHOOSING TO MEET IN PERSON, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT.

SO LAST SCHOOL YEAR WE DESIGNATED 79 TEACHERS.

AND WE JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO CELEBRATE THESE TEACHERS, THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE AWARDS THEY'RE GETTING WITH THEIR ALLOTMENT.

SO WE WENT AROUND TO A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES.

WE DIDN'T GET TO MAKE IT OUT TO ALL OF THEM, BUT WE MADE SIGNS FOR THEM.

WE TOOK PICTURES.

SO, SOME OF THE PICTURES YOU SEE ARE PICTURES OF TEACHERS AND WHAT THEY DESIGNATE, EXCUSE ME, WHAT THEY GENERATED AT THEIR CAMPUS.

THAT WAS A FUN TIME.

SO, TEA DOES REQUIRE US TO SUBMIT DATA AND INFORMATION ON HOW TEA IS IMPACTING RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT.

SO WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO THAT ANNUALLY.

SO THIS PAST AUGUST, WE SUBMITTED OUR ANNUAL SUBMISSION WHERE WE HAD TO REPORT SOME OF THAT DATA.

SO ONE GREAT THING WAS THAT WE STARTED THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH ZERO VACANCIES IN THOSE TEA ELIGIBLE AREAS.

WE ALSO SAW 91% RETENTION RATE OF OUR DESIGNATED TEACHERS.

SO, WE DID HAVE SEVEN TEACHERS LEAVE, BUT WE HAD 72 THAT CHOSE TO STAY WITH US.

SO, WE'RE CURRENTLY AND WE'LL JUST CONTINUE TO COLLECT MORE DATA ON HOW TEA IS IMPACTING OUR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION HERE AT HAYS CISD.

SO, FOR THE 22-23 DATA CAPTURE YEAR, WE HAVE CRITERIA THAT TEA REQUIRES WHICH IS LISTED HERE.

THIS HAS NOT CHANGED, BUT TO ALSO GIVES DISTRICTS THE FLEXIBILITY TO DESIGN A LOCAL PLAN.

AND SO, YOU'LL SEE OUR REQUIREMENTS IN THE HAYS CISD LOCAL PLAN AND THE DIFFERENT ELIGIBLE TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR IN THESE ELIGIBLE TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS.

SO WE HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY DATA FOR YOU THIS YEAR IN OUR SUBMISSION FOR OCTOBER.

WE HAVE 291 POTENTEAL DESIGNATIONS, WHICH IS A 268 INCREASE FROM LAST SCHOOL YEAR.

WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK.

WE HAVE AMAZING STUDENT GROWTH.

OUR TEACHERS ARE ALSO AMAZING.

SO WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT DATA TO SHOW THAT OUR TEACHERS DESERVE AND HAVE EARNED THESE POTENTIAL DESIGNATIONS.

WE HAVE AN INCREASE.

OF COURSE, OUR GROUP IS LARGER THIS YEAR, SO WE ADDED MORE ELIGIBLE TEACHERS FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR IN COMPARISON TO 2122.

BUT KEEP IN MIND, THIS DATA IS STILL BEING REFINED AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH OUR FINAL ANALYSIS CHECKS BEFORE SUBMISSION.

SO OUR TIMELINE THIS YEAR, WE'RE IN OUR 2324 DATA CAPTURE YEAR FOR ELIGIBLE TEACHERS.

BUT THIS THURSDAY IS OUR DEADLINE TO SUBMIT TO DID EXTEND THAT.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY OCTOBER 19TH, BUT THEY'VE EXTENDED IT BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, RESULTS BEING SHARED WITH DISTRICTS A LITTLE BIT LATER THAN NORMAL.

[00:25:06]

I WILL BE CONTACTING OUR TEACHERS AND LETTING THEM KNOW IF THEY HAVE A POTENTEAL DESIGNATION OR NO DESIGNATION.

SO THEY'LL GET THAT EMAIL AND THEY CAN REACH OUT TO US IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS OR MEET WITH ME ABOUT THEIR DATA IN FEBRUARY IS THEN WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR FEBRUARY.

AND THAT'S THE EXCITING PART.

THAT'S WHEN TEA WILL LET US KNOW IF OUR DATA SUBMISSION WAS APPROVED.

AND SO THAT'S THE WAITING GAME WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR.

BUT ONCE THEY HAVE APPROVED US, THEN WE WILL COMMUNICATE TO THE DESIGNATED TEACHERS.

AND OF COURSE, COME HERE FOR ANOTHER UPDATE TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TEA HAS DECIDED IN MAY.

TEACHERS, ALL OUR TEACHERS GET A SURVEY AND WE DO GET THAT INFORMATION BACK.

SO WE'LL ENCOURAGE OUR TEACHERS TO FILL OUT THOSE SURVEYS, AND THEN THEIR CERTIFICATES WILL BE UPDATED WITH THEIR DESIGNATION.

AND THEN THE FINAL WHAT WE WHAT THEY ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IS THE PAYOUT IN JULY.

SO NONE OF THIS WORK COULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR STEERING COMMITTEE.

THERE IS ONE TEACHER FROM EVERY CAMPUS ON OUR COMMITTEE.

WE ALSO INVITE ADMINISTRATORS TO LISTEN AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS WELL.

BUT WITHOUT OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT FEEDBACK AND GUIDANCE FROM WHAT TEACHERS THINK ON THE CAMPUS.

SO WE APPRECIATE THEM.

WE MET THIS LAST MONTH AND WE'LL PLAN TO MEET AGAIN.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE.

IF THEY'RE WATCHING OR LISTENING FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY DO.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, TEAM, LET'S DO SOME QUESTIONS.

DISCUSSIONS. MS..

OROSCO. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION.

I HAD THIS THIS INFORMATION LAG LIKE IS THERE A LAG BECAUSE I SEE LIKE 22-23 CRITERIA 22-23 POTENTIAL DESIGNATION. SO, DOES IT LAG? YEAH, IT GOES FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

AND SO THE SUBMISSION THAT WE'RE SUBMITTING IN THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR IS THE DATA FROM LAST SCHOOL YEAR, THE 22-23 DATA CAPTURE YEAR.

SO THEY REFER TO THEM AS DATA CAPTURE YEARS AND SUBMISSIONS.

SO YES, WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS BASED OFF OF LAST YEAR'S GROWTH.

AND WHO GOT AWARDED LAST YEAR WAS BASED ON THE 2122 CRITERIA.

SO YES, IT DOES.

OKAY. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

I'M LIKE, OH, THIS LAG IT'S A LITTLE TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT.

I KNOW I HAD SOME TEACHERS ASK ME THIS QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, I TALKED ABOUT THE 2223 CRITERIA.

YES, MA'AM. AND I HAD SOME TEACHERS ASK I THINK THE CRITERIA CHANGED THIS YEAR.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? SO, IS THERE A DIFFERENT CRITERION FOR 22-23? WE DID EXPAND IN 23-24.

WE ADDED A MATH FOR THIRD GRADE TEACHERS.

SO, IN THE 2223 DATA CAPTURE YEAR IN THIRD GRADE, THE ASSESSMENT WAS READING ONLY.

AND SO THAT DID LIMIT TWO READING TEACHERS.

SO IF THERE WERE DEPARTMENTALIZED TEACHERS THAT WERE ONLY TEACHING MATH, THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED.

SO, THIS YEAR WE'VE EXPANDED AND ADDED MAP AS THE ASSESSMENT FOR THIRD GRADE TEACHERS IN MATH.

OKAY, GREAT. THE REST OF THE CRITERIA IS PRETTY IS THE SAME, EXCEPT AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

WE HAVE THEM REQUIRED TO TEACH FOUR SECTIONS OF THEIR ELIGIBLE TEACHING ASSIGNMENT INSTEAD OF THREE SECTIONS.

SO HOW MANY CAMPUSES ARE ELIGIBLE? ALL CAMPUSES ARE ELIGIBLE, BUT NOT ALL CAMPUSES ARE PARTICIPATING.

THEY ARE ELIGIBLE.

BUT THERE ARE YES.

NO. THEY ALL HAVE TO PARTICIPATE.

BUT THERE ARE SOME CAMPUSES WHERE THE TEACHERS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT MEET THE CRITERIA OF TEACHING FOUR SECTIONS, OR HAVING AT LEAST TEN STUDENTS.

THEY ALSO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER CHECKS.

FOR EXAMPLE, STUDENTS HAVE TO BE REPORTED IN THE FALL ROSTER AND WINTER ROSTER TO DOES CHECK THAT THROUGH THE TEAM'S REPORTS.

SO FOR FOR EXAMPLE, LIVE OAK AND IMPACT HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE MOVING AROUND OR THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS THEY'RE REPORTED WITH THAT TEACHER, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR A TEACHER TO EARN A DESIGNATION AT THOSE CAMPUSES.

SO EVERY CAMPUS, PRE-K THROUGH THIRD PARTICIPATES.

I'M JUST LOOKING AT ELEMENTARY. YES, MA'AM.

SO WHAT WAS THE FINAL PAYOUT THAT WE GAVE THAT WAS GIVEN OUT IN JULY? I KNOW YOU HAD BROKEN DOWN LAST SEMESTER LIKE HOW MUCH TEACHERS WERE GETTING, BUT I CAN'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

WHAT WAS THE FINAL PAYOUT FOR JULY? THE FINAL PAYOUT WAS 585,660.

THAT'S HOW MUCH WE RECEIVED.

AND THEN IT WAS 90% OF THAT AMOUNT THAT TEACHERS ACTUALLY RECEIVE.

SO IN OUR SPENDING PLAN, THE TEACHERS RECEIVED 90% OF THE ALLOTMENT AND THE DISTRICT KEEPS 10%.

[00:30:06]

YES. OKAY.

GREAT. AND THEN CAN YOU JUST PROVIDE AGAIN? IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE RECEIVED IT.

ALL THE TEACHERS AND YOU'VE DONE THIS REPORT BEFORE, ALL THE TEACHERS AND HOW MUCH THEY GOT PAID OUT? YES. I PROVIDE THAT FOR US.

YES, MA'AM. I WILL SUPPLY THAT.

BUT IT WAS LIKE WAY BACK.

THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

OKAY. AND THEN ARE YOU MEETING WITH TEACHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE HITTING EVERY ITEM ON THERE, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE IT, MAKING SURE THEY ARE HITTING EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED TO TO RECEIVE THAT PAYOUT.

I KNOW I HAD SOME TEACHERS ALSO THAT WEREN'T SURE SOME OF THE THINGS AND WE'RE ASKING LIKE, BE REALLY GREAT.

IF WE HAD A REFRESHER, YES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO GET THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION.

HOW CAN I DO THAT? HOW CAN I IMPROVE THAT? YES, I HAVE OFFERED SOME DISTRICT WIDE INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS THIS PAST MONTH.

I ADVERTISED THAT AND THE TEACHER UPDATE FRIDAY FACTS.

I'VE ALSO OFFERED TO PRINCIPALS TO COME TO CAMPUSES.

SO RECENTLY I WENT TO ULAND.

IT WAS A LITTLE WARM THERE AFTER SCHOOL.

I'M KIDDING. SO, I DID GO TO ULAND.

IT WAS WARM THERE.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? NO, I DIDN'T.

IT TURNED OFF AT 2:45.

RIGHT. I PRESENTED AT 3:30.

YES. AND SO WE, I PRESENTED WITH THOSE TEACHERS, AND THEY HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO ASK QUESTIONS.

SO, I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO THE CAMPUSES.

I DID A DISTRICT WIDE VIRTUAL SESSION, SO I'LL OFFER ANOTHER ONE HERE PRETTY SHORTLY ONCE WE HAVE EVERYTHING FINALIZED, SO I CAN GIVE SOME REALLY GOOD NUMBERS.

AND I ALWAYS OFFER A ONE ON ONE.

SO I DID A LOT OF ONE ON ONES LAST YEAR WHERE I REVIEWED THEIR TEST AND THEIR STUDENT GROWTH AND TOOK THEM STEP BY STEP.

OKAY, GREAT. SO CAMPUS PRINCIPALS CAN INVITE YOU TO A FACULTY.

ABSOLUTELY. YES.

TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO THEIR CAMPUS.

YES. AWESOME.

YOU ALL HEAR THAT. TEACHERS TELL YOUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS YOU GET MARRIED TO COME.

THAT'S RIGHT. I'D LOVE TO GO OUT THERE.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE CAMPUS TO SHARE.

AND I KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE THE BEST.

THEY WANT TO HAVE THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION.

SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM GET THERE ONLY HELPS OUR KIDS.

SO I LOVE IT.

YES, SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION.

YOU'RE WELCOME, MR. VELA. HI, MISS ORTIZ, HOW ARE YOU DOING? HI. DOING WELL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE SEEN YOU SINCE YOU GOT PROMOTED, SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROMOTION THIS YEAR.

THANK YOU. I'M SO EXCITED.

I LOVE MY TEAM.

WELL, THIS IS ALWAYS GOOD INFORMATION.

I'M GLAD TO SEE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION.

ONE QUESTION. HOW MANY OF OUR TEACHERS ARE NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED THAT ARE RECOGNIZED, I GUESS, THROUGH THE PROGRAM? DO WE HAVE THAT NUMBER? CURRENTLY WE HAVE TWO, AND NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 14 WORKING ON THEIR CERTIFICATION, BUT THAT WE HAVE HIRED THAT ALREADY HAD THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION WAS TOO GREAT.

AND THEN THE 79 THAT THE RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT.

SO THE SEVEN THAT LEFT US, HAVE WE DONE A DEEPER DIVE INTO THOSE SEVEN.

WHY THEY LEFT ANY ANY INDICATION OF THEM? I THINK AT LEAST FIVE OF THEM MOVED.

SO THEY THEY OF COURSE, CALLED ME RIGHT AWAY AND SAID, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY ALLOTMENT IF I MOVE? SO THEY DID CALL ME TO SEE WE DID PAY OUT THEIR ALLOTMENT IF THEY COMPLETED THE SCHOOL YEAR, BUT THEY DID MOVE.

WE HAVE ONE THAT IS A CURRENT SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, AND I BELIEVE ANOTHER ONE MOVED TO AN INSTRUCTIONAL AIDE.

OKAY, STILL WITHIN OUR DISTRICT.

GOOD. I MEAN, IT'S STILL A GOOD RETENTION RATE, BUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, SEVEN, SEVEN OF OUR FOLKS AND THEN WE ARE 291 PROJECTED FOR 22-23.

WOW, THAT'S A BIG JUMP.

I KNOW WE'RE SO EXCITED.

AND OUR TEACHERS THAT WE LOOKED AT THE DATA HAVE TRULY EARNED THOSE POTENTIAL DESIGNATIONS.

SO, WITH THE WITH THE GROWTH OF THE I GUESS THE NUMBER OF THAT ARE POTENTIALLY GETTING THEIR CERTIFICATION OR DESIGNATION.

EXCUSE ME, DO WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT THAT MANY TEACHERS, OR ARE THERE OTHER NEEDS THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER? WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION? I BELIEVE SO.

I'M SORRY. CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? ARE YOU MEANING IN TERMS OF ARE WE ABLE TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE SUPPORT IT TO LIKE TO MS. OROSCO'S POINT A LITTLE WHILE AGO? LIKE, DO WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S KIND OF COACHING TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF THOSE TEACHERS ARE HITTING THE QUALIFICATIONS, YOU KNOW, CAN WE SUPPORT THAT MANY? YEAH. YES.

YES. WORKING WITH PRINCIPALS.

SO, HOPING TO WORK AT THE NEXT MEETING TO DISCUSS AROUND WHERE THEY CAN IMPROVE SO WE CAN LOOK AT THEIR DATA WORK WITH CNI AND THEIR COACHES IN THAT WAY AS WELL AS THEIR EVALUATIONS, WHICH IS THE OTHER FACTOR IN THEIR DESIGNATION.

SO, THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY ASK QUESTIONS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE SUPERVISORS OF HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE AND T TESTS.

OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU.

[00:35:02]

I GET OBSERVED, I GO THROUGH THESE OBSERVATIONS.

I HAVE TO DO WELL IN ALL DOMAINS.

YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR PRE OBSERVATION DATA, YOUR RESOURCES TOGETHER.

YOU HAVE YOUR OBSERVATION AND THEN YOU HAVE A POST OBSERVATION.

AND IT'S VERY STRESSFUL FOR TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COST OF LIVING.

MANY OF THEM RELY ON THIS MONEY.

SO THAT'S RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM FOR GETTING THAT MONEY.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PERFECT LESSON PLAN, THE PERFECT INTERNAL, THE PERFECT INTERNALIZATION, DELIVER THE LESSON AND THEN HAVE THE DATA TO BACK IT UP.

SO MY QUESTION IS SO ONLY THESE SUBJECTS ARE OBSERVED.

CORRECT. SO EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY OR SCIENCE WOULDN'T BE OBSERVED.

CORRECT. THEY THEY ARE OBSERVED.

THESE ARE THE AREAS, THE CONTENT AREAS WHERE TEACHERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO EARN A DESIGNATION.

SO THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE WE DO OBSERVE ALL TEACHERS WITH T TESTS.

BUT IN THESE AREAS, WE ALSO HAVE THE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED TO T A STATING THAT THESE ARE THE GRADES CONTENT AREAS THAT WE'RE USING.

AND THEN WE'RE USING THESE SPECIFIC ASSESSMENTS FOR THE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE.

SO IT HAS TO HAVE TWO PARTS FOR A TEACHER TO BE SUBMITTED.

THE TEACHER OBSERVATION WHICH IS T TEST AND THE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE.

ALL OTHER TEACHERS ARE STILL BEING OBSERVED.

YES OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND I GUESS LASTLY, SO ALL TEACHERS IN ELIGIBLE ASSIGNMENTS AND IN ELIGIBLE CAMPUSES MUST PARTICIPATE.

SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE AND HISTORY WOULD STILL PARTICIPATE BUT THE DATA WOULDN'T BE USED.

CORRECT. IS THAT IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? RIGHT. THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE AN OBSERVATION.

SO TEACHERS REGARDLESS OF TEA HAVE TO BE OBSERVED.

THEY HAVE THEIR NON-EVALUATIVE YEARS THAT THEY CAN HAVE AS WELL.

BUT FOR EXAMPLE, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES, YOU'RE ASKING WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T WE HAVEN'T INCLUDED THEM IN THE PLAN.

WE WE DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO PHASE IN OTHER TEACHERS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ALL TEACHERS ELIGIBLE.

BUT IN THOSE AREAS, WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR INSTRUMENTS OR TOOLS TO USE AS THEIR STUDENT GROWTH MEASURE TO REALLY REQUIRES A LOT OF INFORMATION PILOTING, ENSURING THAT THOSE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES ARE VALID AND RELIABLE, WHICH IS THE WORDS THAT THEY LIKE TO USE.

WELL THANK YOU. I MEAN, I LIVE ON A TEACHER SALARY.

I UNDERSTAND THE STRESS THAT GOES ALONG WITH GETTING THE AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PERIOD THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THE OBSERVATION ON.

THEY GIVE YOU A TIME.

RIGHT. AND IT COULD BE ANY OF YOUR ANY OF YOUR CLASSES.

SO SO YOU KNOW AGAIN KUDOS TO THOSE TEACHERS THAT EARN THIS MONEY.

AND I'LL SAY THIS.

WAS SET AT THE ERIN ZWIENER TOWN HALL.

THE DISTRICT TOWN HALL WITH ERIN ZWIENER RECENTLY.

HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, THESE TEACHERS ARE GRATEFUL.

THIS IS FANTASTIC, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY RAISE TEACHER PAY ACROSS THE BOARD ABSOLUTELY TO GO ALONG WITH THIS.

SO AGAIN, WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY DESERVE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU SIR. MS. PETREA? THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. SUAREZ.

IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOUR NEW TITLE ON THIS COVER PAGE.

THANK YOU. SO I KNOW TRUSTEE VELA SAID IT FIRST, BUT I WANTED TO ECHO WHAT HE SAID, SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.

OKAY, I JUST HAD A POINT OF CLARIFICATION QUESTION ON THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS THAT WE GIVE A STIPEND.

AND THEN YOU YOU MENTIONED THE RECOGNIZE.

DO THEY GET BOTH OR THEY DO.

AS LONG AS WE SUPPORT THAT STIPEND, YES.

THEY GET THE STIPEND FOR BEING A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER AND THEY AUTOMATICALLY GET THE RECOGNIZE.

RIGHT. SO I DO COMMUNICATE THAT A LOT.

THE TEACHERS AND THE COHORT KNOW I WENT TO THEIR LAST SESSION AND PRESENTED A LITTLE BIT ON HOW TEA AND THEIR CERTIFICATION WOULD WORK TOGETHER.

SO THEY WOULD GET THE ALLOTMENT AMOUNT FOR RECOGNIZED TEACHERS AND THE STIPEND THAT THE DISTRICT OFFERS.

OKAY, PERFECT. AND I KNOW LAST YEAR WE DID HEAR QUITE A BIT OF FROM TEACHERS THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS, THAT THEY WERE CONFUSED ABOUT IT.

SO THE COMMUNICATION I THINK HAS GOTTEN BETTER, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU CAN COMMUNICATE IT ENOUGH.

AND TO MRS. OROZCO'S POINT, JUST A REFRESHER ON HOW YOU CAN ATTAIN THIS, BECAUSE CERTAINLY WE WANT WE WANT MORE OF THIS MONEY COMING INTO HAYS CISD.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS, ARE OTHER CONTENT AREAS ON THE HORIZON? ARE YOU EVALUATING OTHERS? YES, WE'RE IN THE SECOND YEAR OF PILOTING CTE, SO CTE TEACHERS WOULD BE NEXT.

WE HAVE EXAMS THAT THEY PILOTED LAST YEAR.

AND WE'RE PILOTING AGAIN THIS YEAR TO SEE WHAT THAT STUDENT GROWTH LOOKS LIKE FOR THOSE COURSES.

AND THEN WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING WITH THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION TEAM AND THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO HELP GUIDE US IN WHAT SUBJECTS WE CAN PHASE IN NEXT. OKAY.

BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T SEE ON HERE IS SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND SO IS THERE A IS THERE A ARE YOU ALLOWED TO USE AP EXAMS OR ADVANCED ACADEMICS AS PART OF THE GROWTH MEASURE TO GIVES US A LOT OF OPTIONS.

THEY HAVE A LIST. EVEN ON THEIR WEBSITE.

[00:40:02]

WE CAN DEVELOP LOCALLY ASSESSMENTS.

SO, THE CNI TEAM, THOSE DEPARTMENTS COULD WORK ON DEVELOPING ASSESSMENTS.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR ASSESSMENTS THAT WOULD MATCH THEIR CURRICULUM OF COURSE, AND WOULD GIVE US THAT VALID DATA.

BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR PHASING IN THOSE CONTENT AREAS.

WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE USING THE RIGHT INSTRUMENT AND THAT WE'RE ENSURING THAT THAT MATCHES THE CURRICULUM THAT THEY'RE TEACHING AS WELL.

OKAY. I MEAN, I KNOW WE HAVE A BIG NEED FOR ADVANCED MATH AND IN THE UPPER GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I ALSO COULD SEE, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL STUDIES AND SCIENCE, SINCE THEY'RE NOT ALREADY ON HERE, MAYBE BEING A FOCUS.

SO AND I KNOW NOT ALL TEACHERS GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT IT IS VERY STRESSFUL.

THIS THIS WHOLE THING.

AND IT'S IT'S SORT OF AN ADDED STRESS.

SO I JUST ASSUME WE GET REALLY GOOD AT WHAT WE'RE DOING, GET THE WORD OUT, GET A SYSTEM AND LOGISTICS IN PLACE BEFORE WE GO BROAD WITH IT, WITH MAYBE OTHER CONTENT.

AND I HEARD MS. OROSCO SORT OF AGREEING WITH ME, BUT IT IS STRESSFUL.

I MEAN, BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET AN OPTION, Y'ALL.

IT'S JUST YOU'RE IN.

YES. AND THEN ALL THE STRESS SORT OF ENSUES WITH, OH, I HAVE TO DO THIS ON TOP OF ALL THE REST OF THE THINGS.

SO I SUPPORT IT, BUT I ALSO AM.

OKAY WITH IT STAYING SMALL UNTIL WE START HEARING FROM JEALOUS TEACHERS IN SOCIAL STUDIES AND SCIENCE, I GUESS.

AND MAYBE THEY WILL.

WE HEAR FROM THEM.

ABSOLUTELY. THEY'RE JOINING THE STEERING COMMITTEE, AND THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.

I HAVE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS REACHING OUT TO ME AS WELL TO SEE WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET THIS MOVING FOR, FOR THEIR CONTENT AREA TEACHERS AS WELL.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AND INTEREST ABOUT IT.

AND, YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS WANT TO STRESS TO TEACHERS IS THAT THEY JUST HAVE TO BE THEIR AMAZING TEACHER SELVES.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ADDED FOR THEM TO DO.

WE ARE DOING ALL OF THAT BACKGROUND WORK OF COLLECTING THE DATA.

THEY'RE STILL DOING THEIR OBSERVATIONS, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING EXTRA TO STAY PART OF THE PROGRAM.

JUST KEEP TEACHING OUR KIDS.

BUT THESE ARE OVERACHIEVERS.

WE'RE TALKING. YES.

SO THEY DO. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW.

THAT'S RIGHT. WHAT THE SYSTEM IS.

OKAY. MY FINAL QUESTION IS YOU SAID CTE TEACHERS, BUT SOME OF OUR CTE TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, HAVE OUR OUR DISTINCTION.

SO THERE. THAT'S CORRECT.

NOT CERTIFIED ARE WE ARE WE REQUIRING THAT THEY BE CERTIFIED TEACHERS OR IS IT JUST THE CTE GROWTH.

YES. THE STATE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE TEACHERS TO BE CERTIFIED.

SO IT CAN IT CAN BE TEACHERS THAT ARE ON PERMITS OR OUR FELLOW TEACHERS.

IT CAN BE THE CTE TEACHERS AS WELL.

AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT AND WHAT I'VE MET WITH MS. SEDILLO AND MS. MITCHELL ABOUT IS THE GROUP AND IT BEING A SMALLER GROUP OF TEACHERS THAT WE'RE STARTING WITH THE PILOTING FOR AND ENSURING THAT THEY'RE TEACHING THE SAME GROUP OF CLASSES WITHIN WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING.

BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED TEACHERS, RIGHT, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE CTE TEACHERS DO NOT TEACH FOR SECTIONS OF THE SAME THING.

THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH.

SECTION ONE, SECTION TWO PRACTICUM.

ALL THE THINGS. SO THAT THAT MIGHT BE TRICKY OKAY.

I'LL LET YOU ALL FIGURE THAT OUT. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MS. RUNKLE. THANK YOU.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE SPEAKING TO YOU.

OH, NICE TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU.

WHAT WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WAS THE HISTORY AND THE SCIENCE.

WHAT IS THAT PILOT LOOK LIKE? WELL, THE WE AREN'T PILOTING THEM YET.

WE HAVE TO WORK WITH CNI FOR THEM TO SELECT INSTRUMENTS OR TOOLS THAT WE'RE GOING TO THAT ARE GOING TO MATCH THE CURRICULUM THEY'RE TEACHING AND BE ABLE TO MEASURE THAT STUDENT GROWTH. SO, IT COULD BE A PRETEST AND POSTTEST, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO, A TEST THAT THEY WOULD TAKE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED BY OUR OWN SCHOOL DISTRICT, OR WE COULD SEEK OUT ASSESSMENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, NWA MAKES MANY ASSESSMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, MAP FOR MATH TESTING.

THEY PUT OUT A LOT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT THAT HAVE THEIR STANDARDS.

BUT IF WE CAN'T FIND ONE, THEN WE CAN DO THINGS LIKE PRETEST, POST-TEST, DEVELOP THEM LOCALLY.

IT CAN EVEN BE THINGS LIKE PORTFOLIOS FOR STUDENT, FOR EXAMPLE, SPECIALIST TEACHERS LIKE MUSIC AND ART.

SO WE DO HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SELECT ONE AND ENSURE THAT IT'S GOING TO MEASURE THE STUDENTS IN A VALID WAY.

AND DO YOU ALL HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THAT PILOT? SORT OF. DO YOU WANT TO.

YEAH. WOULD YOU LIKE TO? CALL IT MYSTERIOUS.

HELLO, EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT MCMANUS, DR.

[00:45:02]

SO, WE DO HAVE A TIMELINE.

AND SO RIGHT NOW, LIKE MARY SAID, WE WERE TRYING TO START REALLY SLOW AND REALLY BUILD ON THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE AREAS THAT WE WERE WANTING TO MEASURE GOT THROUGH DATA VALIDATION.

AND SO I DO HAVE A SPREADSHEET WHERE I HAVE LISTED THE DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS, CONTENT AREAS.

AND SO THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT TEACHERS REALLY WANT US TO MOVE FASTER, ESPECIALLY FINE ARTS.

I KNOW I'VE HEARD FROM MS. MORENO, AS WELL AS SOME SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS THAT I'VE HEARD FROM, AND LIKE MS..

ORTIZ SAID, THE NWA MAP HAS SEVERAL CONTENT AREAS, AND THAT MAY BE ONE THAT WE KNOW PASSES VALIDATION THROUGH TO.

I WOULD LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO HAVE THAT FOR BOTH READING, MATH, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, BECAUSE IT IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED VALIDATION THROUGH TEXAS TECH, AND IT'S ONE THAT'S APPROVED BY TEA.

SO THAT ONE WOULD BE EASY TO INCLUDE MORE TEACHERS.

THE ONLY THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT WE WOULD BE GOING FROM MCLASS TO NWA READING, AND IT'S A LITTLE PRICEY, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD MAKE A LOT MORE TEACHERS ELIGIBLE IN THE FUTURE.

WILL YOU KEEP US UPDATED ON AS YOU PROGRESS THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THE CTE AND ALSO THIS PIECE OF IT AS WELL? AND ALSO, JUST TO SHARE, I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE THE STEERING COMMITTEE THAT IS HAS EVERY CAMPUS, SOMEONE FROM EVERY CAMPUS ON IT.

I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT REPRESENTATION.

SO, MICAH IS GOING TO YELL AT ME FOR NOT SPEAKING INTO THE MICROPHONE.

SO, I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

AND ALSO, TEACHER PAY.

YES, WE HAVE HEARD WE HEAR ALL THE TIME HOW THERE ARE TEACHERS THAT DO RELY ON THIS.

AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO NOT JUST HAVE THEM JUST RELY ON THIS, BUT TO BE ABLE TO PAY THEM MORE.

SO, CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO YOUR LEGISLATORS.

THERE IS STILL LOTS GOING ON, BUT I REALLY THIS IS SUCH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS.

IT IS A LOT OF WORK AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO IN THE BACK END TO SUPPORT THEM IN MOVING THIS ALONG.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. SEVERANCE. HI.

OKAY, OKAY, SO WHAT FOR 22-23, IT SAYS 291 POTENTIAL DESIGNATIONS.

IS THAT THE HAYS CISD REQUIREMENT CRITERIA AND THE REQUIREMENT TOGETHER.

THAT'S. YES.

OKAY. SO AND YOU SAID AND REFRESH MY MEMORY WITH YOUR IT'S CAPPED AT CERTAIN NUMBER.

WE CAN GIVE OUT.

IS THERE A CAP TO IT IS NOT CAPPED OKAY.

WHICH IS WHY WE CAN BE GO PAST THEY.

THE STATE SAYS THEY WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE TOP 30% OF TEACHERS IN THE STATE.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO LIMIT OURSELVES TO 30%, BECAUSE 100% OF OUR TEACHERS COULD REPRESENT THE TOP 30%.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO, THERE'S NO CAP.

OKAY. SO, THIS YEAR. SO OUT OF THE 291 POTENTIAL WHAT ARE YOU THINKING.

GUESS OF HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE IT.

WELL IF WE PASS DATA SUBMISSION VALIDATION 100% OF THOSE WOULD GET IT.

SO IT'S AN ALL OR NONE.

IF WE DON'T PASS DATA VALIDATION, THEN NO TEACHERS WOULD GET IT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO THEN GO INTO THE NEXT DATA CAPTURE YEAR.

I COULD THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I LOVE THAT WE DO THIS.

YES, EXCITED THAT WE HAVE A 260% INCREASE FROM 21-22.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND IMAGINE WHAT 23-24 IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, SIR. OKAY.

THAT LOOKS LIKE IT, MR. HORSE. THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

OKAY, TEAM, WE ARE UP TO K CONSENT AGENDA.

[K. CONSENT AGENDA ]

SECONDED BY MISS PETREA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU. WE ARE NOW UP TO L ONE.

[L.1. Consideration and possible approval of Class Size Waivers for K4 Capacity Incentive in Grade 1 at Tom Green Elementary and Grade 1 at Sunfield Elementary]

THIS IS IN REGARD TO THE CAPACITY INCENTIVE.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF GRADES THAT ONE AT TOM GREEN AND ONE AT SUNFIELD.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CLASS SIZE WAIVERS FOR K-4 CAPACITY INCENTIVE FOR GRADE ONE AT TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY AND GRADE ONE AT SUNFIELD ELEMENTARY, AS PRESENTED.

SECONDED BY MRS. OROSCO. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OH. YOU MOVED? I'M SORRY. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO. SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MS. PETREA. SO, I WANT TO THANK CHRISTINA CORSON FOR THIS.

[00:50:03]

THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL.

AND I JUST WANTED TO CALL OUT ON OUR BLANCO VISTA KINDER.

WE HAVE ZERO SPOTS AVAILABLE.

AM I READING THIS CORRECTLY? THAT'S CORRECT. THAT MEANS THEY ARE AT CAPACITY AND? AND IT DIDN'T SEE A NOTE NEXT TO IT SAYING THAT THERE WAS A K-4.

THAT IS THAT IS CORRECT.

AND I WAS INTENTIONAL IN PROVIDING YOU A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHERE WE HAD VOLUNTEERS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE AND APPROVED AND WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE VOLUNTEERS.

SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN IF WE GET AN ADDITIONAL KINDER STUDENT AT BLANCO VISTA? SO, IF WE GET ADDITIONAL STUDENTS EVERY WEEK CABINET, AT THE POINT THAT WE HAVE A NEED, THE NUMBERS SHOW A NEED AND WE DON'T HAVE A K-4 CAPACITY OPTION.

I BRING IT FORWARD TO CABINET AND WE HAVE A DISCUSSION AND APPROVE COLLECTIVELY TO HIRE A TEACHER.

OKAY, OKAY.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL THERE.

CORRECT? OKAY.

WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE LIKE THAT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS READING THIS CORRECTLY.

AND ONE MORE ON THE HEMPHILL.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE FIVE OVER.

WE'VE WE'VE POSTED THE POSITION.

WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS NOW? RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE IN IN CLASSES.

THEY ARE WHERE WE ARE OVER.

AND SO, WE ARE TRYING TO HIRE A TEACHER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SO, WE'RE NOT PAYING THE K-4 STIPEND.

CORRECT. FOR THOSE TEACHERS THAT ARE TAKING ON ADDITIONAL STUDENTS, CORRECT.

AS WITH EVERY BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, YOU HAVE GRADES IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT ARE GOING TO BE OVER TEMPORARILY.

THE K-4 CAPACITY SUPPLEMENTAL PAY WAS INTENDED AS A PERMANENT SOLUTION AND COMMITMENT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

IN THOSE CASES WHERE WE ONLY HAD A FEW STUDENTS AND COULD AVOID DISRUPTING CLASSES BY SPLITTING THEM APART AND HAVING TO HIRE ANOTHER FTE.

SO, IN THOSE CASES WHERE IT'S POSSIBLE WE USE THE K-4 CAPACITY, BUT OTHERWISE WE THEN HAVE TO GO TO HIRING A NEW TEACHER.

OKAY. BUT WE'RE ALMOST IN NOVEMBER AND IT MAY BE HARD TO FILL THESE POSITIONS.

SO IF THEY'VE BEEN FIVE OVER SINCE AUGUST AND DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THE K-4, I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING I DON'T.

I DON'T KNOW. THIS SEEMS A LITTLE TRICKY TO ME THAT THEY'RE BEING FORCED TO TAKE ON ADDITIONAL STUDENTS, AND BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T RAISE THEIR HAND, JUST TELL ME IF I'M THERE COULD BE A DISTRICT WIDE IMPLICATION FOR THAT.

SO, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE GRADE LEVEL.

THERE COULD BE SEVERAL GRADE LEVELS WITHIN A CAMPUS TIMES, HOWEVER MANY CAMPUSES.

SO THERE IS A BROADER IMPACT.

AND IT'S A SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED BEFORE THE K-4 CAPACITY WAS APPROVED.

AND AND WILL BE A SITUATION EACH BEGINNING GRADING PERIOD OF EVERY SCHOOL YEAR THEREAFTER.

BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING FOR YOU ALL TO TO THINK ABOUT.

AND WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT.

BUT THERE IS A DISTRICT WIDE IMPLICATION OF, OF THAT APPLICATION.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT.

RIGHT. SO BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T RAISE THEIR HAND TO SAY YES, I'LL TAKE ON AN ADDITIONAL KID, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE HAD AN ADDITIONAL KID SINCE AUGUST AND NOW IT'S ALMOST NOVEMBER.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE $3,000.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

AS IN YEARS PAST, BEFORE THE K-4 CAPACITY WAS APPROVED, WE ALWAYS HAVE CLASSES THAT ARE OVER IN THE FIRST GRADING PERIOD UNTIL IT LEVELS OUT AND WE CAN HIRE SOMEBODY, RIGHT? IN THIS CASE, THE K-4 CAPACITY WAS INTENDED TO BE A YEAR LONG COMMITMENT IN LIEU OF HIRING A TEACHER INSTEAD OF UNTIL WE HIRE A TEACHER. RIGHT.

I JUST, I CAN SEE, I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF ANYTHING WE DO.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO.

I MEAN, HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND TEACHERS QUICKLY.

I JUST KNOW THAT TEACHERS DON'T GROW ON TREES, ESPECIALLY IN NOVEMBER.

SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT DOESN'T SAY ANYBODY KIND OF WORKING LIKE LIKE HAVE BEEN HIRED AND READY TO GO.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CHANGE SOON.

UM, AND I GET IT THAT THIS COULD HAVE BROADER IMPLICATIONS.

I'M JUST SEEING IT ON PAPER FOR THE FIRST TIME, THINKING THROUGH THIS LIKE, OH, I DIDN'T RAISE MY HAND, SO MAYBE I'LL GET RELIEF.

AND SO, THE $3,000 IS FOR THE YEAR, NOT THE SEMESTER.

THE COMMITMENT OF THE K-4 CAPACITY IS A COMMITMENT TO SERVE AND ABSORB EXTRA STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

IT IS NOT INTENDED AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE.

IT'S INTENDED AS A MEASURE INSTEAD OF AND IN LIEU OF HIRING AN ADDITIONAL FTE.

AND SO, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WHICH YES, 100%.

BUT I WHAT I SEE ON PAPER IS THAT PEOPLE.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FIVE CLASSES WITH ONE EXTRA KID MIGHT BE, I DON'T KNOW.

[00:55:03]

THIS IS NOT TERRIBLE.

WHAT? I'M RIGHT. IT'S PRETTY IT'S PRETTY GOOD.

AND I DO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM AND SEEING EXTRA STUDENTS IN A CLASS.

AND HERE WE ARE INTO THE SECOND GRADING PERIOD.

SO PLEASE KNOW THAT I SEE THAT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I EMPATHIZE EMPATHIZE WITH THAT.

UM, I'VE ONLY BEEN APPLYING THE K FOR CAPACITY SUPPLEMENTAL PAY TO THE NARROW PURPOSE THAT WE AGREED TO IN THE COMPENSATION PLAN. I HAVE NOT VEERED AWAY FROM THAT NARROW FOCUS.

AND SO IF THERE NEEDS TO BE OTHER DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE OTHER DISCUSSIONS.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN THAT MY APPLICATION OF IT, IN THE NARROWEST SENSE, IS BECAUSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS APPROVED.

AND I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY PERSONAL LIBERTY IN INTERPRETING IT OTHER THAN THE WAY IT HAD BEEN APPROVED.

MAYBE ONE ONE THOUGHT IS IN DECEMBER WE COULD RESURVEY TEACHERS IF THEY WOULD BE OPENED, I DON'T KNOW, I WOULD, I WOULD BE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO NEXT WEEK, YOU KNOW HERE WE ARE.

SECOND GRADING PERIOD. HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU.

BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE SEE SOME TEACHERS WHO ARE GETTING PAID FOR THAT FIRST GRADING PERIOD AND THE SECOND GRADING PERIOD, THAT PAYMENT IS GOING TO COME RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS TIME.

SO IT'S 700.

YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DO THAT.

OKAY. AND THE REASON WHY I'VE NOT SENT MULTIPLE EMAILS DISTRICT WIDE IS WE DID GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM A HANDFUL OF TEACHERS FEELING LIKE AN ADDITIONAL EMAIL WAS FEELING LIKE PRESSURE, WHICH WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO FEEL PRESSURED.

BUT I WILL CERTAINLY BE HAPPY TO SEND ANOTHER EMAIL AND SAY WE ARE MERELY PROVIDING YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND AND FEEL MORE CONFIDENT RIGHT IN YOUR CLASSROOM AND IN YOUR TEACHING TO VOLUNTEER FOR THIS, I CAN CERTAINLY SEND ANOTHER ROUND AND MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT TO PUT ANY PRESSURE ON ANY TEACHER, BUT MERELY TO PROVIDE YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY IF THEY ARE INTERESTED, AND CERTAINLY IF THEY MEET THE CRITERIA.

I'M. SORT OF JOKING.

SORT OF NOT JOKING.

IT MIGHT BE A DISCUSSION TO HAVE IN CABINET TO SORT THROUGH THE IMPLICATIONS OF AN ADDITIONAL EMAIL AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OR.

SURE. INDIVIDUAL PHONE CALLS THAT NEED TO GO OUT TO CERTAIN TEACHERS.

MAYBE THAT IS IS A BETTER APPROACH.

I DON'T KNOW, Y'ALL.

Y'ALL, AS A LEADERSHIP TEAM CAN DISCUSS WHAT MAKES SENSE.

HAPPY. CERTAINLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE TO SAY? ABSOLUTELY. WE MEET TOMORROW.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO BRING IT FOR DISCUSSION.

MS. OROSCO, THANK YOU, MS. PETREA, FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

I GUESS I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED GOING BACK TO SOMETHING YOU SAID BECAUSE YOU SAID SO.

WHEN WE DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY THAT VOLUNTEERS FOR THE K THROUGH FOUR, THAT WE TALK IN CABINET AND WE COLLECTIVELY APPROVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY ELSE.

HOWEVER, I GUESS I'M CONFUSED BY THAT BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE APPROVING IT COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE IT'S EITHER THERE'S A VOLUNTEER OR WE HIRE SOMEBODY BECAUSE OUR BOARD HAS NOT DONE WAIVERS AND HAS REFUSED TO DO WAIVERS.

RIGHT. SO THERE'S NOT MUCH WIGGLE ROOM THERE.

SO I GUESS I WAS JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED.

SURE. ABOUT THAT COLLECTIVE APPROVAL OF A NEW TEACHER? LET ME EXPLAIN.

LAST YEAR THERE WERE 24 TEACHERS THAT WERE HIRED, 24 ELEMENTARY TEACHERS HIRED AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE OF GROWTH.

WHEN I CAME ON BOARD AND PARTNERED WITH THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN PREPARING A COMPENSATION PLAN AND BUDGET.

BUT WHAT WE DISCOVERED WAS THAT IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WAS GOOD COMMUNICATION OR AS AS COMMUNICATION IS SOLID ENOUGH BETWEEN THE HR AND FINANCIAL DEPARTMENTS FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

THERE WERE 24 TEACHERS HIRED, 24 NEW PCNS, 24 FTES, 24 SO WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE STAFFING IMPACT AND BUDGETING FOR THIS YEAR, AND WHEN WE DID THAT STAFFING REVIEW, WE JUST SAW AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION.

I AM NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLYING ANYTHING IMPROPER, OTHER THAN I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE IMPROVED COMMUNICATION.

AND AT A POINT THAT WE HAVE A $16.5 MILLION DEFICIT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY HAS THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THE HR DEPARTMENT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED AND COMMUNICATION FREQUENT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CABINET ALSO KNOWS WHEN WE'RE ADDING.

[01:00:05]

OKAY, SO NOT APPROVAL, TECHNICAL APPROVAL.

YOU JUST WANT TO COMMUNICATE AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I WAS A LITTLE BIT THROWN BECAUSE I'M LIKE, WHAT? YOU DON'T NEED APPROVAL FROM THE CABINET TO DO A HIRING WHEN THE OPTION IS THAT K THROUGH FOUR AND THERE'S NO VOLUNTEERS.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON IT AND START HIRING.

SO, I THINK IT'S GREAT TO MAKE SURE TO COMMUNICATE THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT WAS NOT CLEAR.

AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THAT IMPLICATION IS.

SO GOT IT.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE I THINK IT'S TIME.

LIKE MS. PETREA SAID, IT'S ALREADY BEEN THE FIRST NINE WEEKS TALKING TO OUR FRIENDS AND THESE GRADE LEVELS.

SURE, AS YOU HAVE BUILT RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR CLASSROOM, YOU KNOW YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS, KIDDO.

WE POSTED THIS POSITION.

WE CAN'T FIND ANYBODY.

SO, HEY, ANYBODY WANTS TO CALL DIBS HERE, YOU KNOW, AND I AM SURE THAT TEACHERS ARE LIKE, YEAH, I'VE ALREADY DONE IT FOR NINE WEEKS.

I LOVE MY KIDDO.

YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT BE MORE WILLING TO EXPLORE THIS OPTION, RIGHT? SURE. I DON'T THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

MS. PETREA, TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AGAIN AND JUST SAY.

AND IT'S NOT A DISTRICT WIDE EMAIL, BUT SPECIFIC TO THAT GRADE LEVEL, SAYING, LOOK, WE POSTED IT.

IT'S BEEN POSTED FOR NINE WEEKS.

WE CAN'T GET ANYBODY.

AND WE DON'T JUST WANT ANYBODY, RIGHT? WE WANT A COMPETENT TEACHER THAT WE CAN HIRE.

SURE. SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS TEAM? HOW CAN WE PROBLEM SOLVE THIS.

YOU KNOW, IS ANYBODY WILLING TO DO THIS? NO PRESSURE.

BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

SURE. WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

YEAH. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING IMPROPER ABOUT THAT.

I THINK THAT REALLY IS, AGAIN, EMPOWERING THAT TEAM TO MAKE THAT DECISION BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THESE LITTLE KIDDOS IN THEIR CLASSROOM.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US JUST TO TOUCH BASES WITH THEM.

AGAIN, I'M HAPPY TO.

SO I LOVE THAT AND I LOVE THIS IDEA THAT AND I AND I SAID THIS FROM THE START.

MS. CORSON, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS IDEA TO US AND JUST DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

RIGHT. BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE JUST TO HIRE 24 NEW TEACHERS WHEN WE'RE OVER BY ONE OR SO.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROBLEM SOLVE THAT? RIGHT. AND I LOVE THAT IDEA.

SO I TOTALLY SUPPORT THIS.

BUT YES, TOUCHING BASES WITH THESE GRADE LEVELS THAT MIGHT HAVE THAT MIGHT BE LACKING SOME TEACHERS OR PEOPLE WANTING TO VOLUNTEER, MAYBE THEY'RE WILLING TO NOW THAT THEY'VE HAD THAT KIDDO AND BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP.

SO I'LL BE PROUD TO DO THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, PART OF SHOWING YOU WHERE WE HAD VOLUNTEERS AND WHERE WE DIDN'T WAS TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE, EVEN IF WE'RE NOT OVER YET.

THE GOOD NEWS IS, IN THOSE AREAS, WE HAVE PEOPLE WAITING IF WE DO NEED TO GO OVER, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING, THAT WE DO HAVE SOME OF THOSE OPTIONS. SO IF WE CAN DO ANOTHER ROUND WHERE WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL INTEREST AND COMMITMENT, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE TEACHERS BENEFIT FROM THIS, AS WELL AS STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY IN THEIR CLASSES AND HAVE ALREADY BUILT THOSE RELATIONSHIPS SO HARD TO BREAK THOSE CLASSES UP.

I KNOW I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO OVER AND I CAN NEVER GET A WAIVER.

AT THAT TIME. I ALWAYS WANTED TO KEEP ALL MY BABIES, SO I'M SURE PEOPLE WILL BE WILLING TO LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPTION.

SURE, WE'RE ALL TRYING TO HELP AND WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR STUDENTS, SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT TIME TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AGAIN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MS. RUNKLE. OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION.

I KNOW THAT I WASN'T HERE LAST WEEK, SO I'VE ASKED SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND I SAW WHAT MRS. PETREA HAD REQUESTED THAT WAS POSTED ON BOARD BLOG THIS AFTERNOON.

CAN YOU JUST TALK TO ME REAL QUICK ABOUT WHAT THIS REPORT MEANS THAT YOU PROVIDED FOR SUNFIELD AND TOM GREEN SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THIS BOARD AGENDA ITEM.

SO MS. PETREA LAST WEEK HAD REQUESTED, AS A MEANS OF, I'M ASSUMING, JUST PREPARATION FOR WHAT OTHER CLASSES MAY BE NEXT ON THE HORIZON DEPENDING ON GROWTH, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS EXCELLENT QUESTION.

AND THE REASON WHY I SHARED THIS WITH YOU IS BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE GO NEXT IN TERMS OF GROWTH, AND THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE GRADE LEVELS HAVE THREE OR LESS SPOTS REMAINING.

[01:05:05]

AND YOU SEE SOME ZEROS THERE.

AND AND IN THOSE AREAS WHERE WE HAD A K-4 CAPACITY CANDIDATE WHO WAS ELIGIBLE AND APPROVED SO YOU COULD SEE, OH, DON'T WORRY, WE MAY ONLY HAVE THIS MANY THERE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THIS OPTION.

SO THAT GIVES US EVEN A FEW MORE SPOTS.

RIGHT. AND SO THIS GIVES YOU THE A BIRD'S EYE PICTURE OF WHERE WE GO NEXT, WHETHER THAT'S HIRING A NEW TEACHER OR BRINGING ANOTHER WAIVER REQUEST FOR A K-4 CAPACITY.

IF WE DO NEED TO AND AND DO EXERCISE THAT.

SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE GO NEXT.

OKAY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO REQUEST IS AT WHAT DATE WERE ALL OF THESE STUDENTS? OVER 22.

I HAD REQUESTED THAT FROM YOU TODAY FOR SUNFIELD AND TOM GREEN, AND YOU TOLD ME THAT THE FIRST DATE OVER 22 FOR TOM GREEN WAS SEPTEMBER 21ST, AND THE FIRST DATE OVER AT SUNFIELD WAS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, AUGUST 15TH.

SO TO GO BACK TO MRS. PETREA'S COMMENT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, HERE WE ARE GOING INTO NOVEMBER AND WE'VE HAD CLASSES THAT HAVE BEEN OVER CAPACITY. AND WHAT WORRIES ME OR WHAT I QUESTION IS WHY ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE JUMPING AT WANTING TO DO THIS K-4 INCENTIVE? BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, THERE'S NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE JUMPING AT THIS.

THERE WERE 103 PEOPLE WHO JUMPED UP TO DO THIS.

BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE AT CAMPUSES WHERE YOU HAVE ZERO, OR YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THIS SHEET WHERE THERE'S NO ONE IDENTIFIED.

SO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM IN THE THOUGHT EXCHANGE PREVIOUSLY OF PEOPLE WHO HAD WHO HAD CONCERNS ABOUT IT IS THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT HAVING MORE STUDENTS THAN THE RATIO.

AND SO THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO OPTED NOT TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY FUNDAMENTALLY AND PHILOSOPHICALLY DID NOT BELIEVE IN GOING ABOVE RATIO.

THERE WERE SOME THAT WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE STRESS, NOT KNOWING WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THEIR ASSIGNED STUDENTS WOULD BE AND WHAT THAT COLLECTIVE COMMITMENT WOULD BE IN A SCHOOL YEAR.

AND SO THEY HAD DIFFERENT REASONS FOR WHY THEY DID NOT SIGN UP.

ALSO, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'VE INTRODUCED THIS.

AND SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE EARLY ADOPTERS.

IN ANY CHANGE, THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO AFTER A YEAR WILL SEE OTHERS AND THEY IN THE SECOND YEAR WILL START TO SIGN UP FOR THAT, BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD THE ABILITY TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO'VE GONE THROUGH IT AND LEARNED ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS.

SO WHAT WE HAVE IS 100.

WE HAVE 103 WHO WERE ACTUALLY 108 WHO VOLUNTEERED.

FIVE OF THEM WERE NOT ELIGIBLE BECAUSE OF THEIR TPUS OR T TESTS.

AND SO 103 WERE ELIGIBLE BECAUSE OF THE STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE PLACED ON THIS FOR THE GOOD OF OUR STUDENTS AND ALSO HAD PASSED THEIR PRINCIPAL AND APPROVAL.

AND SO CERTAINLY WE'D LOVE TO SEE MORE.

BUT THERE WAS SUCH EMPHASIS ON THIS BEING VOLUNTARY, AND I WOULD WAGER THAT IT BEING FAIRLY NEW IS A REASON WHY WE HAVEN'T SEEN MORE. OKAY.

SO IF YOU WILL JUST PROVIDE THE DATE THAT SOME OF THESE CAMPUSES WERE OVER 22 LIKE YOU DID FOR THE TWO CAMPUSES TODAY, I THINK THAT I HAVE SHARED IN THE PAST, WHEN THIS WAS ON THE COMP PLAN, I WASN'T GOING TO NOT APPROVE THE COMP PLAN.

I THINK I SHARED BACK THEN THAT I WASN'T A I'M NOT A BIG SUPPORTER OF THIS K-4 THROUGH INCENTIVE, K-4 INCENTIVE.

I, AS A PARENT, DO WANT TO PRESERVE A 22 TO 1 RATIO IN A CLASS.

THAT I DO. I SHARE THAT AS A PARENT AND PROBABLY WITH MANY OTHER TEACHERS ACROSS THIS DISTRICT.

BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN SOME TRYING TIMES, AND THERE WILL BE TIMES WHERE WE PROBABLY CAN'T BREAK UP A CLASS OR WHATNOT, BUT I JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS K4 INCENTIVE TO ME WAS TO BE LIKE A TO BE USED AS A SAFETY NET.

AND, AND IT'S STARTING TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, GRAPPLING AT EVERY CASE FOR THAT WE WAIVER THAT WE CAN GET IF THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED.

I'M JUST NOT I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I, I CARE ABOUT 22 TO 1 CLASSROOMS AND AND WHILE THREE KIDS TO A CLASS MAY BE JUST THREE KIDS, IT'S SOMETIMES NOT JUST THREE KIDS IN A CLASSROOM.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC TO SUNFIELD AND TOM GREEN ON THE AGENDA, ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, I UNDERSTAND, BASED OFF OF WHAT

[01:10:06]

SO I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD.

WHY DON'T THEY WANT TO DO THIS, OR DO THEY NOT WANT TO TAKE ON THOSE EXTRA KIDS IN THAT CLASS? BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW TOO.

I AGREE, AND I WOULD WAGER THAT MOST OF THEM AREN'T THE ONES WHO AREN'T TAKING THAT ON.

FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO, MISS RUNKLE.

THEY JUST PHILOSOPHICALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE MORE STUDENTS IN A CLASS THAN 22 TO 1.

THEY HAVE THE SAME PASSION THAT YOU DO ON THAT MATTER, AND THAT'S LIKELY PART OF IT.

I THINK THE OTHER PART OF IT WAS THAT IT WAS NEW.

NOW, WHAT I CAN DO, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, IS I COULD DO A THOUGHT EXCHANGE TO TEACHERS AND SAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT VOLUNTEERED, WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS? AND I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT SUMMARY WITH YOU.

I MEAN, IF THAT'S WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK WILL BE BENEFIT TO THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.

YEAH, BUT I JUST I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TEACHERS HAVING MORE KIDS, MORE THAN 22 KIDS IN A CLASS, NOT WANTING TO SIGN UP FOR THIS K4 INCENTIVE, BUT BEING STUCK WITH THESE KIDS IN THEIR CLASS ANYWAY RIGHT NOW.

AND SO THERE'S THAT'S PART OF THAT, YOU KNOW, CONSEQUENT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT.

I THINK, THOUGH, IF I COULD, THAT IF K FOR CAPACITY SUPPLEMENTAL PAY DIDN'T EXIST, THAT SITUATION WOULD STILL BE A SITUATION.

THE DIFFERENCE IS AND INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO TO SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR K FOR CAPACITY, THEY WOULD BE WAITING FOR US TO HIRE A TEACHER, AS THEY ARE AT HEMPHILL ELEMENTARY, FOR EXAMPLE.

AND SO EVEN IF K FOR CAPACITY DIDN'T EXIST, IT WOULD NOT BE UNUSUAL.

AND IT HASN'T BEEN IN YEARS UP TO THIS TIME FOR CLASSROOMS TO EXPERIENCE THIS OVERAGE UNTIL A PERMANENT TEACHER CAN BE HIRED.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE BEGINNING PARTS OF THE YEAR.

AND NOW WITH THE DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE TEACHER CANDIDATES THAT WE'RE ALL COMPETING FOR IN TEXAS, WITH LESS PEOPLE TEACHING AT THIS TIME AND ENTERING THAT PROFESSION.

SO NOW WE ARE EVEN HAVING TO COMPETE WITH MORE DISTRICTS FOR THE FEWER TEACHERS THAT ARE LEFT TO HIRE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SO IT CERTAINLY IS A CHALLENGE THAT I WELCOME FURTHER DISCUSSION ON.

WELL, I MEAN, A LOT OF WELL, I MEAN, JUST THE CLASSES, LIKE FOR INSTANCE, SUNFIELD, THEY WERE OVER 22 ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

SO, I MEAN, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT HIRING ANOTHER TEACHER MUCH EARLIER THAN THE END OF OCTOBER.

SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO GO WITH THE WILL OF THE BOARD ON THIS.

I AGAIN, I DO UNDERSTAND THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE WITH TOM GREEN AND SUNFIELD.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO UNDERSTAND ANY OTHERS THAT ARE ON THIS LIST BASED OFF OF LIKE, I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE, I WANT TO I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THESE TEACHERS THAT HAVE OVER 22 KIDS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, AND THEY'RE NOT A PART OF THE K4 INCENTIVE, AND THEY'RE HAVING TO ABSORB THAT.

SO IF YOU CAN CHECK ON THOSE SITUATIONS AND THEN ALSO PROVIDE WHEN THESE CLASSES WERE OVER 22.

SURE. I WILL GO THROUGH AND CONFIRM WHEN EACH OF THESE GRADE LEVELS HAD CLASSES THAT WERE OVER 22.

AND I WILL BRING TO DISCUSSION WITH CABINET.

WHAT? YOUR CONCERNS ARE ABOUT THOSE TEACHERS WHO HAVE ALWAYS HISTORICALLY HAD TO ABSORB OTHER STUDENTS PRIOR TO THE K-4 CAPACITY, AND WHAT DIFFERENCES THAT MIGHT MEAN DURING THIS DEFICIT BUDGET YEAR IN WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO NOW FOR THEM.

WELL, I MEAN, I THINK LET'S JUST FOCUS ON HERE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IS THIS LIST RIGHT HERE, WHICH IS YOUR BIRD'S THE BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO GO NEXT WITH EITHER A HIGHER OR INITEATING A K-4 CAPACITY CANDIDATE THAT HAS ALREADY VOLUNTEERED AND BEEN APPROVED.

OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THIS.

I DO APPRECIATE THIS.

THE CREATIVITY I DO.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO GET CREATIVE WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IN OUR DISTRICT, BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS TO MRS. OROZCO'S POINT NOT DONE WAIVERS IN THIS DISTRICT.

WE'VE NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM.

[01:15:02]

AND THAT'S JUST WHERE I STAND ON THAT.

MS.. OKAY, I THOUGHT OF A COUPLE MORE THINGS.

UM. WHAT I AND WHAT I THINK MRS RUNKLE IS TRYING TO GET AT IS WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY ROLLED OUT TO US, IT WASN'T LIKE.

WE THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS LIKE A SECOND NINE WEEK BECAUSE WE'RE A FAST GROWTH DISTRICT, RIGHT? SO WE CAN BE WE CAN BE GREAT 22 TO 1 FIRST NINE WEEKS.

AND THEN WHAT? WE GOT TEN MORE KIDS THAT JUST MOVED IN OR WHATEVER.

AND I THINK A LOT OF US THOUGHT THE K4 WAS GOING TO BE FOR THAT, NOT FOR WE'RE ALREADY OVER CAPACITY.

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

SO I THINK YOU'RE YOU'RE FEELING SOME OF THAT, UM, WHICH I, WHICH I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A HABIT AROUND HERE OF UNDERESTIMATING HOW MANY KIDS ARE GOING TO SHOW UP.

AND THAT ALWAYS FEELS BAD WHEN, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE WE DIDN'T EVEN PREPARE.

AND THEN THE THIRD WEEK OF SCHOOL, WE'RE HAVING TO MOVE KIDS AROUND.

WE DID DO SOME LEVELING, I KNOW, EARLY ON.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR AS PAINFUL AS THAT IS, WE GOT THAT DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED AND THEN AND THEN WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL LEVELING.

WHAT I WANTED TO ASK, GOING BACK TO THE HEMPHILL THING, WHEN AND MAYBE DR.

WRIGHT KNOWS THIS. JUST REFRESH MY MEMORY.

WHEN WHEN ARE WE REQUIRED TO DO A WAIVER? BECAUSE IF WE'RE ALREADY OVER AND IT'S PASSING THE FIRST NINE WEEKS, IS HEMPHILL SHOULD IT SHOULD THEY BE ALREADY? DO WE ALREADY NEED TO DO A WAIVER? SO I ACTUALLY CALLED THE WAIVER OFFICE A TO BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T GET THIS WRONG.

AND I ALSO REFER TO THE T-A WEBSITE ON CLASS SIZE WAIVERS.

AND WITHIN THE FIRST 12 WEEKS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THE LAST 12 WEEKS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE HAVE THE ABILITY AND THE FLEXIBILITY NOT TO ASK FOR THAT EXCEPTION, BECAUSE TEA UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MOVEMENT.

SO YOU MIGHT BE OVER AND THEN SOMEBODY DROPS OFF AND MOVES.

SO WITH THAT MOBILITY AND WITH CONTINUED ENROLLMENT, SOME PEOPLE EVEN DROPPING OUT 5 OR 6 WEEKS IN.

SO IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE OVER THAT.

BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE DROP OUT AND THEN WE'RE UNDER.

AND SO IT'S THAT BALANCING WAITING GAME THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY DURING A DEFICIT YEAR, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO SEE WHERE WHERE IS THIS REALLY GOING TO FALL.

SO LUCKILY WE HAVE 12 WEEK FLEXIBILITY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

WE HAVE 12 WEEKS OF FLEXIBILITY AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND WHAT TEA SAYS IS THAT IN THOSE CASES WHERE WE MUST APPLY FOR THAT CLASS SIZE EXCEPTION WAIVER, THAT WE MUST DO SO BY THE 30TH DAY AFTER SCHOOL, OR WHEN THE EXCEPTION IS NEEDED AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE EXCEPTION WAIVER HAS BEEN APPROVED.

SO IN THIS CASE, THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE IT.

WE WOULD THEN APPLY FOR IT THROUGH TEA BECAUSE WE WOULD NEVER APPLY FOR IT WITHOUT BOARD APPROVAL.

AND ONCE TEA MAKES THEIR DECISIONS, WE ARE WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY BY LAW TO LET PARENTS KNOW WITHIN 30 DAYS.

AND IT'S VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT TO SAY.

IT'S VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT'S IN BOLD AND SO WHAT'S IN WRITING AND WHAT IS MAILED.

SO WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

I DID SPEAK WITH THE WAIVERS SECTION REPRESENTATIVE BY PHONE BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT ON THE TA WEBSITE, IT SAID THAT THERE WASN'T EVEN A CLASS SIZE WAIVER APPLICATION AVAILABLE.

SO IF YOU APPROVE TONIGHT AND I WENT THERE TOMORROW TO APPLY, IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE AVAILABLE.

AND IT WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE A THROUGH F RATINGS ARE FINALLY RELEASED.

WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT THIS AT ALL THEN? OKAY, BECAUSE I WAS JUST DOING SOME SOME QUICK MATH ON OUR CALENDAR AND NEXT WEEK WOULD BE WEEK 12.

YES, NOVEMBER 7TH I BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE.

THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. YEAH. NOVEMBER 7TH.

AND SO I DID CONFIRM THAT AND DOUBLE CHECK THAT.

AND I HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE STAFF AT THE WAIVER UNIT AT TEA.

OKAY. UM, I THINK OH, ONE MORE QUESTION.

IF WE CAN'T FIND A TEACHER AND THEY DON'T WANT THE STIPEND AND WE'RE GOING TO JUST HOLD OUT HOPE FOR A TEACHER IN HEMPHILL, DO THEY HAVE PARAS THAT CAN HELP THEM? I HAVE ASKED OUR DIRECTOR OF HR TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND A CERTIFIED LONG TERM SUBSTITUTE.

ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I MET WITH THE DIRECTOR OF HR, GINGER BLANTON, THERE IS A UT JOB FAIR THIS WEDNESDAY, AND SO THAT IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY ON THE HORIZON.

[01:20:07]

MAYBE THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES THERE.

OKAY. YES. THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU. MS..

OROSCO. ANY.

IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO STAFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, RIGHT.

PEOPLE DO NOT ENROLL IN A TIMELY MANNER ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EARLY ENROLLMENT STARTING IN APRIL.

WE OPEN IT UP. OR STAFFING REASONS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE SO MANY FOLKS THAT WON'T ENROLL UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY.

CORRECT. THAT HURTS US.

AND SO WE TRY TO PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING, BUT WE CANNOT BE FULLY PREPARED FOR THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS THAT WILL COME IN AFTER LABOR DAY.

AND THAT HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN OUR DISTRICT AND OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE.

RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO GET CLARIFICATION.

AND I MEAN, I KNOW THIS, BUT CAN YOU CLARIFY ALSO, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT, LET'S SAY NEGLEY THREE, THERE'S THREE SPOTS LEFT IN SECOND GRADE, RIGHT.

YES. I'M SORRY, AN OVERAGE LIKE AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS THAT YOU HAVE AN OVERAGE AND A TEACHER HAS THAT GRADE LEVEL HAS AN OVERAGE OF FIVE OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

IT IS NOT ONE TEACHER THAT HAS FIVE KIDS.

CORRECT? YES.

DISTRIBUTED. IT'S ALL DISTRIBUTED.

THERE'S NOT ONE TEACHER THAT HAS LIKE AN EXTRA FIVE.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS AWARE.

NO THAT'S CORRECT. THEY MIGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE FOUR CLASSES AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE EXTRA STUDENT IN THREE OF THE CLASSES AND TWO AND A FOURTH.

OR YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE IN EACH OF THE FIVE OR IT'S NOT ANYTHING LIKE HAVING FIVE EXTRA OR FOUR EXTRA WITHIN.

NOT LIKE THAT.

DEFINITELY. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS AWARE OF THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, DR.

WRIGHT KNOWS THAT I'M ALL ABOUT THE 20 TO 1 STUDENT RATIO.

I'M ALL ABOUT IT.

REALLY. 18 TO 1 WOULD BE MY IDEAL WORKPLACE, BUT I KNOW THAT WE CANNOT DO THAT RIGHT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT 20 TO 1 RATIO IN THE LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC CAMPUSES.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE 22 TO 1.

AND WHILE IT IS IDEAL TO KEEP YOUR CLASSES SMALL, SURE, ONE STUDENT DOES MATTER.

IT'S ALSO ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.

I THINK THAT'S A KEY PIECE, ESPECIALLY WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.

SO I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS AGAIN WITH THOSE GRADE LEVELS, TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AND SEE HOW WE CAN HELP SUPPORT OUR CAMPUSES AND HELP SUPPORT YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE PEOPLE IN PLACE TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OKAY. WE LOOKS LIKE THAT'S IT FOR DISCUSSION.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT CLOSES DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE ARE NOW ON PAGE 51.

[L.2. Second Reading and possible adoption of the Hays CISD District of Innovation Plan for Five-Year Renewal]

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IN OUR DISCUSSION LAST WEEK.

THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THIS.

IT IS JUST SIMPLY A RENEWAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE HAYS CISD DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PLAN FOR A FIVE YEAR RENEWAL, AS PRESENTED MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE ARE NOW UP TO PAGE 57.

[L.3. Second Reading and possible adoption of the proposed revisions to Policy DEAA (Local)]

[L.4. Second Reading and possible adoption of the proposed revisions to Policy DEC (Local)]

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO POLICY LANGUAGE REVISION FOR D E A.

AND THEN THE NEXT ONE WILL BE FOR DC I BELIEVE WHEN WE GET THERE.

BUT WE NEED TO ADDRESS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY ALTHOUGH THEY ARE LINKED.

SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION FOR THIS ONE IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO POLICY D E A A LOCAL AS PRESENTED MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. DISCUSSION.

SEEING? NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

PAGE 61.

THIS IS THE COMPANION PIECE TO THAT.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO POLICY.

DEC LOCAL AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO SECONDED BY MS..

RUNKLE. ANY DISCUSSION, MISS PETREA? YES, QUICKLY. I STILL HAVE A LOT OF CONSTERNATION ABOUT THE 50 DAYS OF LOCAL LEAVE THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GIVE PEOPLE.

[01:25:07]

I'M GOING TO VOTE YES ON THIS TONIGHT, BUT I WANT TO HEAR FROM OUR EMPLOYEES IF THIS IS A PROBLEM.

I ALSO WANT HR TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO TAKE THEIR LOCAL DAYS FIRST SO THAT THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE.

RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR STATE DAYS.

THEY HAVE LOCAL DAYS BECAUSE IF THEY LEAVE AND THEY HAVE 100 LOCAL DAYS AND LIKE 20, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? RIGHT.

AND THERE A WAY THERE'S LIKE A PRIORITIZATION OF HOW THEY TAKE THEIR DAYS.

YES. WE CAN CERTAINLY REVIEW THE THE ORDER THAT WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO, TO TAKE THOSE LEAVE DAYS THEY ULTIMATELY GET.

THEY CAN ULTIMATELY CHOOSE HOW THEY WANT TO TAKE THEIR DAYS.

BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY GO OVER THAT ORDER.

MAYBE I SURE WILL, THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE SHORTED THEIR LOCAL DAYS IF THEY HAVE MORE THAN 50, IF THEY CHOOSE TO SEPARATE.

AM I READING THAT? AM I INTERPRETING THAT CORRECTLY? WELL, IT APPLIES TO STATE AND LOCAL LEAVE, SO I'LL LEAVE TOTAL.

WE ARE NOT PAIRING LOCAL WITH.

WE'RE NOT SAYING HE SAYS EACH DAY OF ACCUMULATED LOCAL LEAVE.

BUT YOU'RE NOT SAYING THOSE ARE LOCAL DAYS.

SO IT SAYS ON PAGE 70, IT SAYS THE EMPLOYEE SHALL RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR EACH DAY OF ACCUMULATED LOCAL LEAVE.

THAT IS, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP ON PAGE 70, BECAUSE THAT IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LEAVING THE DISTRICT AND NOT OUR RETIREES.

SO. BUT THEY ARE.

BUT THEY BUT I CAN EMPHASIZE THAT WITH THEM.

IF I LEFT MY JOB TO GO TO ANOTHER LAW FIRM AND I EARNED MY DAYS, THEY PAY ME FOR MY DAYS, I DON'T LOSE THEM, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE MY PTO DAYS THAT I EARN, THEY HAVE THEY HAVE TO PAY ME THOSE DAYS.

SO WE'RE SAYING IF YOU GO TO LOCKHART, TOO BAD.

SO SAD. IF YOU HAVE 75 DAYS, WE'RE ONLY PAYING YOU 50.

IS THAT WHAT THAT SAYS? RIGHT. SO IF SO, WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT THE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DAYS THAT WE WILL PAY OUT AT THAT RATE OF 100 A DAY OR 50 A DAY, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ARE, IS AT 50 DAYS.

RIGHT? SO IF YOU GO TO LOCKHART AND THEN WE WANT YOU TO COME BACK, WE WANT YOU TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT US, MISS CORSON, SO THAT YOU'LL COME BACK TO HAYS.

WE'RE ONLY PAYING YOU OR YOU'RE 50 DAYS.

SO JUST MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW THAT AND MAYBE THEIR PRIORITIZATION OF.

HOW THEY TAKE THEIR DAYS.

YES, WE CAN MAKE SURE TO DO AN EDUCATION PIECE ON THAT.

I DON'T BEGRUDGE ANYBODY FOR LEAVING OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO COME BACK JUST LIKE YOU DID.

MS.. COURSON OKAY.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I JUST I WANT PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, 60 TO 50.

I FEEL LIKE THAT NUMBER WAS LIKE 120 AND WE MOVED IT TO 60 AND NOW WE'RE MOVING IT TO 50.

MS.. OROSCO, THIS IS FOR MS..

RUNKLE TO CAPTURE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THIS.

MS.. COURSON. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES HAVE MORE THAN 50 DAYS ACCUMULATED? AND WHAT IS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT? THE BUDGET IMPLICATION OF THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THEN WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND FIX POLICY IF NEED BE.

BUT ABSOLUTELY.

STARTING POINT. SURE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE ARE MOVING UP TO PAGE 71.

[L.5. Consideration and possible adoption of the 2023-2024 District Improvement Plan, containing District Performance Objectives and Student Performance Goals]

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE 2023 2024 DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN, CONTAINING DISTRICT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE GOALS AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MS.. PETREA.

SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE.

DISCUSSION, MR. FLORES. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT AND I'M JUMPING TO PAGE 99 HERE.

IF I'M LOOKING AT THE TITLE ONE AND THIS IS IN SPENDING FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS.

TITLE ONE PART C AND THE EDUCATION OF MIGRATORY CHILDREN.

SO MY BASIC QUESTION IS HOW ARE THESE FUNDS BEING UTILIZED.

AND I KNOW THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE ULAND ELEMENTARY VISITED US LAST WEEK AND THEY HAD 55 MIGRANT CHILDREN ENROLLED AT ULAND ELEMENTARY.

AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BLANCO VISTA HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT AS WELL.

IN ADDITION TO IS WALLACE TAKING IN THESE KIDS AS WELL AT THIS TIME, AND HOW ARE THESE FUNDS BEING UTILIZED, OR DO YOU FIND IT EFFECTIVE AT THIS TIME THAT THESE KIDS ARE GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEED?

[01:30:02]

SO I'M SORRY.

SO I'LL HAVE TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU BECAUSE EVERY CAMPUS UTILIZES THEIR FUNDS DIFFERENTLY.

AND SO I DO APPROVE PURCHASES OF DIFFERENT ITEMS. SO I CAN TELL YOU SOME MATERIALS, SOME PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CAMPUSES REQUEST.

AND THEY USE THEIR TITLE ONE THEIR TITLE ONE MONIES FOR.

BUT SPECIFICALLY IF YOU'RE ASKING ME WHAT MATERIAL, WHAT RESOURCE AND HOW YOU KNOW IF IT'S EFFECTIVE, I DON'T KNOW THAT DETAIL, BUT I DO HAVE A LIST OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE PURCHASED WITH TITLE ONE FUNDS, WHETHER THEY'RE FOR THEIR MIGRANT STUDENTS, THEIR HOMELESS, OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL FUND THAT IS UTILIZED.

YES, MA'AM, I WOULD LOVE THAT.

SO WOULD THAT BE HELPFUL FOR ME JUST TO PROVIDE YOU A LIST OF THE ITEMS THAT BECAUSE IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS AND FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES, OF COURSE.

I MEAN, JUST BECAUSE I MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TAKING AN INFLUX IN OF MIGRANT CHILDREN AS WELL, YOU KNOW, AS MANY DISTRICTS ARE ACROSS THE STATE.

I'M ALSO STICKING TO PAGE 99 HERE ON TITLE THREE, PART A FUNDING.

AND THIS IS TO ESSENTEALLY ELA AND IMMIGRANT FUNDS.

AND THIS REQUIRES FILLING POSITIONS AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S ONE INCLUSION SUPPORT TEACHER, SIX ELA INCLUSION PEREZ AND ONE DISTRICT WIDE ESL SPECIALIST AT THIS TIME.

ARE THESE POSITIONS FILLED? AND DO YOU SEE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS WORKING EFFECTIVELY? I GUESS IS MY QUESTION.

I WOULD SAY YES, JUST BASED ON CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE HAD WITH MS..

MELGAR COOK.

THESE POSITIONS ARE FILLED AND BASICALLY SUPPORTING OUR OUR STUDENTS AT THIS TIME.

I'VE NOT HEARD ANY CONVERSATIONS OR I HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WHERE WE FEEL THAT HAVING A PERSON SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS ISN'T WORKING.

SO THANK YOU. AND THIS MIGHT TIE INTO, YOU KNOW, THE THE REDUCTION IN SPOTS AVAILABLE WITH SOME OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE THE THE MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON IN THE AREA, IN ADDITION TO MIGRANT AND IMMIGRANT CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, MOVING INTO THE DISTRICT, I THINK IT COULD CERTAINLY ADD TO THAT GROWTH.

AND MY LAST QUESTION IS ON PAGE 98 ON TITLE ONE FUNDING, AND WE HAVE OUR 14 SCHOOLS THAT RECEIVE TITLE ONE FUNDS.

HOW MANY OF THESE JUST OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD IF YOU KNOW IT, HOW MANY OF THESE SCHOOLS ARE ACTUALLY USING THESE TITLE ONE FUNDS FOR SEL PROGRAMS WOULD BE MY QUESTION.

I THINK MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT RECEIVE TITLE FUNDS UTILIZE THEIR TITLE FUNDING TO SUPPORT AND PURCHASE ESL PROGRAMS. OKAY, I MEAN, I CAN I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO BE VERY SPECIFIC TO SEE THE THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM AND THEN THE FUNDING SOURCE.

SO THAT WOULD ALSO BE IN THAT LIST THAT I COULD PROVIDE TO YOU.

NO THANK YOU. I WAS JUST CURIOUS IN HOW EACH CAMPUS WAS SPENDING THEIR TITLE ONE FUNDS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, THEY CAN BE USED FOR NOT ONLY PROGRAMS BUT PARENT ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES. SO I WOULD LOVE THAT INFORMATION THOUGH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. MR. RUNKLE. JUST TO CLARIFY, SO YOU'RE WANTING THE FIRST QUESTION YOU'RE WANTING HOWARD.

TITLE ONE FUNDS USED FOR MIGRATORY CHILDREN.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FROM HER QUESTION WAS HOW ARE TERMS BEING BEING USED AT EACH CAMPUS? HOW MANY OF THOSE CAMPUSES ARE USING TITLE ONE FUNDS FOR SEO PROGRAMS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MR. SEVERANCE.

YEAH. THANK YOU, MR. CITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE THE PHONE CALL LAST WEEK, I KNOW WE I HAD ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ADDING A SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY INTO OUR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

I KNOW JERRY'S TEAM AND TIM'S TEAM ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH OUR FENTANYL PROGRAM RIGHT NOW.

AND I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ENCAPSULATE THAT AS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

THE DISTRICT YOU MENTIONED TO ME THAT THAT THIS THIS DOCUMENT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A LIVING DOCUMENT.

WE'LL BE ADDING THINGS DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU'RE WORKING ON THAT AS WE SPEAK.

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SHARE BACK WITH US WHEN YOU GET THAT ADDED AND WHERE IT'S BEEN ADDED, AND SO WE CAN GET A COPY OF THAT AND REVIEW THAT WHENEVER THAT THAT COMES TO COMES TOGETHER. ABSOLUTELY.

AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE REALLY HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO BEING MUCH MORE PREVENTATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTION AND THE THINKING AROUND THAT.

THAT IS DEFINITELY A WORK IN PROGRESS.

AND AS SOON AS WE GET A PLAN TOGETHER, INCLUDING WHAT WE'VE DONE TO ADDRESS OUR FENTANYL CRISIS, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE IT WITH YOU, LET YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S LINKED, BUT ALSO PROVIDE YOU A PLAN.

AND SO THIS IS GOING TO TAKE SOME COLLABORATION WITH JERRY'S TEAM AS WELL AS MISS BETHEL AND OUR DOW'S AND OF COURSE MISS

[01:35:04]

THANK YOU. I MEAN I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST FENTANYL.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE ENCAPSULATED IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THAT TAKING THAT AND PUTTING THAT IN THERE WHEN WE GET THAT TOGETHER.

BUT BE THOUGHTFUL WITH IT.

LET'S GET WHAT WE WANT TO SAY, GET IT RIGHT AND THEN PRESENT IT BACK TO US.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, MR. DIEHL. MR. RUNKLE, DID I SEE YOUR HAND? JUST THE SAME ONE I WAS GOING TO ASK TO BE SURE THAT THAT SUBSTANCE ABUSE IS ADDED, BECAUSE I NOTICED LISTENING TO THE BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK THAT THAT HAD BEEN REQUESTED AND I DIDN'T SEE IT.

THAT IS A LIVING DOCUMENT.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THERE WERE TWO QUESTIONS THAT I HAD ASKED THAT HADN'T BEEN ANSWERED YET, BUT IS SINCE IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT, I WOULD ASSUME THAT YOU WILL JUST RESPOND. AND IF THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGES, YOU'LL LET ME KNOW.

ABSOLUTELY. IT WAS SPECIFIC TO SOME OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION GOAL AND STRATEGIES.

OKAY. WE'LL GO INTO THAT TODAY.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, BECAUSE I DID ASK UNDER SPECIAL EDUCATION, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING FOR LIKE DISTRICT WIDE EVENTS FOR PARENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND ALSO I'D REQUEST SOME OF THE TRAINING.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED THIS WEEK AND I SAW THIS ONLINE SOMEWHERE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAMPUS POSTED THIS, BUT I JUST SAW IT, I THINK LIKE AT 3:00 THIS MORNING, SO SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO FETCH IT.

UM, WE'RE DOING A DYSLEXIA EVENT AT THE PAC CENTER, I THINK.

I DON'T THINK I DREAMED THAT, I THINK I SAW A CAMPUS POST IT.

SO CAN WE SEE IF THAT IS REAL AND WHEN THAT'S HAPPENING? BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS COMING UP THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK AND I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

AND THE 26TH, OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD, IS TO HAVE THIS EVENT.

WE USED TO HAVE DYSLEXIA EVENTS YEARS AGO.

I USED TO ATTEND THEM BECAUSE MY OLDEST IS DYSLEXIC.

THEY'RE VERY, VERY VALUABLE TO PARENTS.

AND SO WHEN I SAW THIS, I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, THIS IS GREAT, BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO IT.

SO IF WE CAN FIND OUT INFORMATION AND IF THEY CAN PASS THAT ALONG TO US, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU THAT INFORMATION TOMORROW VIA BOARD.

AND I, AS A CHILD WHO IS IN, I HAVE A CHILD THAT'S IN SPECIAL EDUCATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT COMMUNICATION HAS GONE OUT FOR THAT EVENT, SO THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF COMMUNICATION THAT GETS SENT OUT TO SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS THAT FALL UNDER DYSLEXIA, OR 504 OR WHATEVER, TO KNOW THAT THAT'S THAT'S COMING.

OKAY. AND I'LL TELL YOU, THAT EVENT OR THAT THAT PARTICULAR THING THAT THEY DO IS PRETTY AMAZING.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I WENT YEARS AGO AND THEY PUT US AND THEY HAD US DO ALL THESE STRATEGIES OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE IN THE MIND OF YOUR DYSLEXIC CHILD.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, I WALKED OUT OF THAT PAC CENTER IN TEARS, IN TEARS, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS FAILING MY KID.

BUT I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THAT, FROM THAT PRESENTATION.

AND SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WE CONTINUE TO DO THOSE.

THANK YOU. SO I HAD ASKED MY I HAD ASKED THAT IN MY QUESTION, AND THEN I SAW IT SOMEWHERE AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.

SO WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU.

POSTED THAT AWESOME JOB.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE CLOSED DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I ATTENDED THE FORUM.

[01:40:02]

SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

I DIDN'T GET TO THANK YOU GUYS LAST WEEK.

JOB WELL DONE.

I, I DIDN'T HEAR ANY COMPLAINTS FROM ANYBODY THAT DIDN'T LIKE THIS OR DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS, AND I APPRECIATE IT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SHOUT OUT AND ALL OF THOSE LOVELY PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP TO THE MEETINGS AND WORKED FOR OUR DISTRICT.

I APPRECIATE ALL OF THEM.

AND YOU. THANK YOU.

I'VE PREPARED A SHORT 45 MINUTE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF THIS HONOR.

I'M SORRY, BUT THE ASTROS ARE PLAYING MR. SAVOY. YES, YES.

MOVED BY MRS. PETREA, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. DISCUSSION.

MR. RUNKLE. I SUBMITTED SOME QUESTIONS OR A QUESTION TO MR. SAVOY ABOUT THE INTERIOR WALL OF THAT WEIGHT ROOM.

YES, MA'AM. AND THE GLASS.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ADJUSTING THAT.

I KNOW THAT WE, AS A BOARD AND ALSO AS A DISTRICT, HAVE DISCUSSED, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE WITH GLASS.

AND SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON THE EXTERIOR OF THAT FENCE, WE STILL SHOULD BE SETTING A STANDARD ACROSS OUR DISTRICT OF JUST GLASS IN GENERAL.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TAKING THAT FEEDBACK AND MAKING THAT ADJUSTMENT.

YOU KNOW, I LOVE PRETTY BUILDINGS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT EFFICIENT BUILDINGS FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS, AND WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF TAXPAYER MONEY. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FOR DOING THAT.

AND AGAIN, EVERYBODY THAT'S LISTENING IT, NOT SO MUCH GLASS.

YES, MA'AM. YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. FLORES.

YES, SIR. LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE YOU MET.

YOU SAID THE DISCUSSIONS WITH JERRY WERE ONGOING.

CORRECT? ARE THEY STILL ONGOING? AS FAR AS THE FEEDBACK FOR THE WEIGHT ROOM AND THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THE GLASS AND SO FORTH? THIS MORNING. OKAY, SO THERE'S STILL ONGOING.

OKAY. AND ONE LAST TIME.

SO THE COACHES, THEY DON'T WANT OFFICE SPACE CORRECT.

IN THIS WEIGHT ROOM. THERE'S NOT REQUIRED.

THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO BE WALKING AROUND THE THE ONE PERSON OR THE ONE ITEM THAT CAME UP WAS AS WE GROW AND AS WE DEVELOP THE PROGRAM, IF THERE WAS A STRENGTH COACH, A STRENGTH COACH MIGHT BE HOUSED THERE.

SO THAT'S AN ONGOING DISCUSSION ABOUT A STRENGTH COACH OFFICE.

OKAY. AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

MR. SIMMONS.

HEY, MAX. MR. CLEAVER, QUICK QUESTION.

JUST TO CLARIFY ON THIS ONE, ON PAGE 112, IT HAS THE CONTINGENCY FOR SCHEMATIC DESIGN AT A -3 MILLION, BUT IN TOTAL BUDGET 17 MILLION.

BUT ON PAGE 116, IT HAS US IN PROJECT CONTINGENCY AT -1.5 MILLION, BUT STILL WITHIN BUDGET AT 17 MILLION.

YES, SIR. WHICH NUMBER ARE WE? I CAN ABSOLUTELY EXPLAIN THAT.

SO ON PAGE 112, WHEN THIS ITEM WAS DUE ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, IT WAS 18,080,665.

AND THEN WE CONTINUED TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND GO THROUGH THE DETAIL.

AND THEN THAT THAT NUMBER DROPPED TO 17, 568.

THAT'S THE NUMBER YOU SEE ON PAGE 114.

AND THEN WE CONTINUED, AND WE BELIEVE THAT WHERE WE WILL BE FOR D D IS ACTUALLY AT 16 MILLION.

733 SO THE NUMBER, THE NUMBER THAT WE ARE PRESENTING IS THE 16,000,007 33 ZERO 96 ON PAGE 116.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO WE CONTINUE TO WORK THAT NUMBER ALL THE WAY UNTIL WE BRING YOU ALL A GMP.

YEAH IT'S GETTING BETTER. IT LOOKS LIKE.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO IT'S GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

GREAT. AND OUT OF THAT 1.5 MILLION IS THIS IS THAT KIND OF JUST ESCALATION THAT WE'RE RUNNING INTO.

SO SO WE'RE PULLING THAT APART NOW.

AND IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE ROOFING SOME OF THE ROOFING AND THE PAVING.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT THOSE QUOTES OR WE GOT THOSE, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT.

[01:45:03]

AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND WORK WITH THE WORK WITH BARTLETT ON THIS ONE TO TO KIND OF RECONCILE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE GIVEN A YEAR AGO AND THEN THE NUMBERS WE'RE SEEING NOW.

SO SO IT'S THE WEIGHT ROOM DID NOT IS NOT BRINGING THIS, THIS THING OVER.

GREAT. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME WE GET GOING, IT'LL BE EVEN BETTER.

SO YES, SIR. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. MS..

PETREA, DID HUCKABEE DESIGN THE WEIGHT ROOM? YES, MA'AM. IS THERE A REASON WHY THEY'RE NOT IN THE MOTION? THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE I MADE A TYPO.

SO CAN I AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE, AS DESIGNED BY O'CONNELL, ROBERTSON AND HUCKABEE? NO, THIS IS THIS IS ALL HUCKABEE.

THERE'S. OKAY. THE HVAC AND THIS IS OKAY.

THIS ENTIRE BID PACKAGE? YES, MA'AM. WHOLE BID PACKAGE.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THAT IS MY APOLOGIES ON PAGE 113.

THAT SHOULD BE HUCKABEE.

WELL, JASON WASN'T THROWING ANYTHING AT YOU, BUT MAYBE HE WAS THINKING ABOUT IT.

OKAY, SO THEN I.

I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION.

THE MOTION TO CORRECT THE ARCHITECTURE NAME FROM O'CONNELL ROBERTSON AND SWAP THAT WITH HUCKABEE.

SHOULD I DO THAT? KLAERNER MR. OROSCO OR IS THAT FINE? WE NEED A SECOND, MR. SEVERANCE. SO WE HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND SO WE NEED TO VOTE ON THAT.

AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK AND HANDLE THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

SO OKAY.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE AMENDED MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

HI. HI. OKAY SO THE AMENDED MOTION NOW HAS PASSED.

SO NOW THE SUGGESTED MOTION WILL READ AS THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR 2023 BOND BID PACKAGE THREE FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL, AS DESIGNED BY HUCKABEE AND ESTIMATED BY BARTLETT CONSTRUCTION AS PRESENTED.

BOOK BY MRS OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. SO NOW WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS PETREA.

THANK YOU FOR CATCHING THAT I APPRECIATE THAT.

SO. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ONE? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OH. HOLD ON.

YES. I ACTUALLY WAS ALL EXCITED BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I CAUGHT THIS.

I'M NOT JUST LOOKING FOR TYPOS.

I AM SO EXCITED THAT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL IS GETTING THIS WEIGHT ROOM, AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME SPENT TO FIGURE OUT THE NEEDS.

I CAN'T WAIT TO WALK THROUGH IT.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AND BE AT THE GROUNDBREAKING OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO DESIGNING THIS AND GETTING IT RIGHT AND MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR ATHLETES AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL.

SO I JUST I KNEW THAT HUCKABEE DID THAT.

SO I WAS JUST LIKE, WAIT, WHAT? SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN GETTING THIS PROJECT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

NOT THERE YET, BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THAT'S ALL. AND LATE, LATE THIS AFTERNOON, I SUBMITTED A RESPONSE FROM COACH GOAD THAT YOU HAD ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

GOOD WORK TEAM ON THAT ONE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT.

SO WE ARE MOVING UP TO PAGE 117.

[L.9. Consideration and possible approval of the Schematic Design for 2023 Bond Bid Package 5 for Dahlstrom Middle School and Wallace Middle School]

UM, LET'S SPOT CHECK THAT MOTION BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS THING THERE, MR. CLEAVER. THAT ONE IS CORRECT.

OKAY, SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR 2023 BOND BID PACKAGE FIVE FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT DAHLSTROM MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AS DESIGNED BY O'CONNELL ROBERTSON AND ESTIMATED BY JACKSON CONSTRUCTION AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. DISCUSSION.

MISS PETREA, SINCE JARED'S HERE WITH O'CONNELL ROBERTSON, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK FOR SURE.

GREAT PARTNERSHIP AND I'M EXCITED TO HEAR HOW IT GOES WITH JACKSON CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS OUR FIRST, FIRST PROJECT.

WE'RE USING JACKSON CONSTRUCTION.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE.

ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

[01:50:01]

MOVING UP TO PAGE 123.

[L.10. Consideration and possible approval of the 2023 Bond Bid Package 11 Purchase of a Turn-Key Lighting Project at Hays High School and Barton Middle School - Musco Lighting]

THIS IS THE TURNKEY LIGHTING PROJECT AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AND BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL AS PART OF BOND BID PACKAGE 11.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS ONE, SO I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION BEFORE THE SUGGESTED MOTION, JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THIS ONE. MR. SEVERANCE. THANK YOU.

HEY, MAX, LISTEN, I REALLY APPRECIATE I KNOW WE KIND OF DUG INTO THIS AT LENGTH OVER THE PAST ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AND GOING BACK, DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, FOUND SOME BOND PRESENTATIONS, THE FGOC WHERE ALBERT WAS JUST LIKE, HEY, HE WAS PUTTING ALL THIS STUFF TOGETHER AND IT JUST GOT TUCKED INTO AN HVAC.

THAT'S CORRECT. PRESENTATION.

I JUST WANT TO CAUTIOUSNESS THAT, YOU KNOW, I JUST I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S AN ATHLETIC PROJECT INTO AN HVAC.

I JUST FEEL LIKE GOING FORWARD, WE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND CLEAN THAT UP.

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

BUT IT FEELS IT.

I MEAN, THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM, BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN IT IN ACTION IS PRETTY COOL.

I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE KIND OF BRINGING OURSELVES UP TO SOME PRETTY COOL TECHNOLOGY WITH ANTENNAS, SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS ONE, IT JUST WASN'T IN THE SPIRIT OF KIND OF WHAT WE ASKED THE TAXPAYERS FOR WITH HVAC, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY FOR LIGHTING.

AND SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S ANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE THAT FALL IN THIS CATEGORY FOR THIS BOND THAT WE DID SPOT NOW.

YEAH. NO NO NO NO NO, NOT AT ALL IN THAT SAME IN THAT SAME PRESENTATION.

THAT'S WHERE THE ASBESTOS FLOORING CAME OUT OF BECAUSE ALBERT IS ALSO OVER THE SAFETY DEPARTMENT.

THAT KIND OF SAFETY LIKE ASBESTOS, ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, THAT KIND OF THING.

SO AND THERE WAS ALSO BOILERS.

SO TECHNICALLY THAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER LABELED MEP AND ENVIRONMENTAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN THE BOND BROCHURE.

IT WAS LABELED MEP IN THAT IN THE IT WAS A $42 MILLION LINE ITEM.

I THINK IT WAS LINE 13 ON PROP A.

YEAH. NO, I APPRECIATE THAT.

I JUST WOULD ALSO LIKE THE FGOC PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KIND OF GONE THROUGH THAT INSTEAD OF APPROVING AN HVAC PROJECT, HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, A LIGHTING PROJECT FOR THE TENNIS COURT.

SO GOING FORWARD, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT, IF WE COULD PULL THEM OUT AND BE VERY FOR SURE.

AND I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO, THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO FOLD THERE.

SO LIKE IN THAT HVAC, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ABOUT 32 PROJECTS IN THERE.

YOU KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL LINE ITEMS. AND SO GOING GOING FORWARD I THINK WE'LL MAKE EACH ONE ITS INDIVIDUAL LINE ITEM.

SO IT'S JUST EASIER TO TRACK TO WHEN WE GO TO ACTUALLY PUT THIS THING, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY DEVELOP IT AND PUT IT INTO PURCHASE ORDERS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

YEAH. AND AS FAST AS WE'RE GROWING, I MEAN, WE'RE JUST THIS PROCESS IS CONTINUALLY EVOLVING, GETTING BETTER.

WE'RE GETTING, YOU KNOW, MORE TECHNICAL WITH IT.

SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING SOME OF THAT DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT I APPRECIATE YOU DIGGING THAT OUT FOR ME.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MR. SEVERANCE. SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION FOR THIS IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A TURNKEY LIGHTING PROJECT AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AND BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL FROM MUSCO LIGHTING IN THE AMOUNT OF $690,342 AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MISS PETREA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE ARE UP TO PAGE 127.

[L.11. Consideration and possible approval of the Design Development for 2023 Bond Elementary School #17]

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SUM OF MONEY.

SO WE'LL START WITH SOME DISCUSSION ON THIS ONE, MR. FLORES. SO WHEN YOU GO OUT TO THIS AREA RIGHT NOW, AS YOU KNOW, I MEAN, FIRST OF ALL, I REALLY LIKE THE DESIGN, ESPECIALLY AS YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM SUNFIELD ELEMENTARY.

IT'S COMPLETELY UNDEVELOPED OUT THERE.

AND RASTEGAR PROPERTY COMPANY IS DOING THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE RETAIL SHOPS.

THERE'S GOING TO BE TRAILS, THERE'S GOING TO BE AMENITIES, RESTAURANTS, YOU NAME IT.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY MEETINGS AT ALL AS FAR AS WITH THAT COMPANY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BUILDING THIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THERE'S NO MAIN ROAD RIGHT NOW.

GRIST MILL IS BEING DEVELOPED.

IT'S CURRENTLY BEING DUG, AS YOU KNOW, SO IT'S STILL VERY, VERY MUCH UNDEVELOPED.

ARE THERE ANY MEETINGS THAT WILL GO ON WITH THEM? AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL BEING BUILT AT THE SAME TIME AS RESTAURANTS, RETAIL SHOPS, PARKS AND ALL THAT.

I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY CORRELATION AT ALL.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, I MEAN, WHERE WE'RE BUILDING IT WILL BE PRIMARILY AROUND US, WILL BE RESIDENTEAL.

AND SO I DON'T SEE ANY KIND OF CONFLICTS WITH THE OTHER BUILD OUT.

[01:55:01]

YEAH. I LOOKED AT THE MAP AND WHAT THEY HAVE PLANNED, BUT, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THINGS CHANGE.

YES. CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE DESIGN AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TO SEEING IT BUILT.

YES, WE US AS WELL.

MS.. PETREA, I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE IN A WHILE.

IS IT PRETTY UNDEVELOPED AT THIS POINT? ARE THINGS STARTING TO REALLY HEAT UP? THEY'VE STARTED THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT'S THAT'S PRETTY EARLY.

THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

BUT IT'S JUST A IT'S STILL JUST A PASTURE.

I MEAN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S WELL AND IT'S ALREADY PRETTY FAR EAST.

SO I MEAN, IT JUST REMINDS ME OF KIND OF WHEN WE BUILT IRELAND OR WHEN WE BUILT CAMINO REAL WHEN THERE'S REALLY NOTHING OUT THERE.

AND THEN WE BUILT THIS BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL AND THEN THINGS SORT OF COME TO US, LIKE ALL AROUND AWESOME THING OUT THERE.

AND PEOPLE LOOK AROUND AND GO, HEY, THIS IS PRETTY GREAT.

I WANT TO LIVE HERE.

YOU KNOW, YOU LAND. YOU'RE FINALLY STARTING TO SEE SOME DEVELOPMENT KIND OF OUT THERE.

CAMINO HAS WE'VE SEEN THERE'S SOME NEIGHBORHOODS POPPING UP EVEN AROUND CAMINO, BUT IT'S THOSE ARE KIND OF MY FAVORITE SCHOOLS TO BUILD, FRANKLY, WHEN THERE'S JUST NOTHING THERE.

AND THEN WE JUST COME AND PLANT A FLAG AND SAY, WE'RE HERE AND WE'VE GOT AN AWESOME SCHOOL, AND YOU ALL SHOULD ALL BUILD HOUSES AROUND IT, I WILL, I MEAN, AND THAT'S COMING, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S WHY WE GOT THE LAND, BUT IT'S RARE THAT WE'VE GOTTEN TO DO THIS.

OBVIOUSLY, ULIN WAS LAND THAT WE OWNED, AND WE JUST KNEW THAT WE HAD A TON OF KIDS THAT WERE THAT WE COULD SERVE OUT THERE.

SO, I'M EXCITED. I'M EXCITED TO DRIVE OUT THERE AND SEE IT.

JUST TO ADD, THEIR THEME IS A FUTURISTIC SUBDIVISION, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT PLAYS INTO THE BUILDING OF THE SCHOOL, BUT THAT'S LITERALLY THE THEME OF THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND OUR SCHOOLS. IT IS.

I WENT TO THE GROUNDBREAKING.

I'M INTERESTED TO SEE THE FLOOR PLANS.

THEY SAID AS A COMPANY, THEY DON'T REALLY SUBSCRIBE TO DINING ROOMS. AND SO I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH. MR. SEVERANCE AND JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF THIS QUESTION IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TOPIC.

BUT IF THAT AREA IS UNDEVELOPED AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE KIND OF WITH THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO LIKE BUS STOPS, IT WOULD REALLY BE LOVELY IF WE WERE WORKED WITH THOSE DEVELOPERS AND SAID, OKAY, THEY TELL YOU WHAT THE SITE PLAN, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT THE SITE PLAN IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, AND THEN MAYBE YOU GUYS, WE CAN GO IN THERE AND SAY, WELL, THIS IS WHERE THE BUS STOP IS GOING TO BE FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THAT WAY WHEN THEY GO AND SELL THOSE HOMES, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHERE BUS STOPS OR PICKUPS ARE GOING TO BE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR HERE, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT AT THIS MOMENT, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK FORWARD.

WELL, WE CAN SURE PUSH THAT PUSH THAT DISCUSSION.

JUST MEMBERS A KID.

WE JUST HAD A BUS STOP. YOU KNOW, IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

MS RUNKLE JUST NEEDS TO CAPTURE THAT AS A TOPIC FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION.

OKAY. THANK YOU ALL. OKAY.

OKAY, SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FOR 2023.

BOND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 17, DESIGNED BY HUCKABEE ARCHITECTS AND ESTIMATED BY BARTLETT CONSTRUCTION AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MISS PETREA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE ON OUR LAST ACTION ITEM FOR THE EVENING.

[L.12. Consideration and possible approval of an electrical easement for Pedernales Electric Cooperative at Wallace Middle School]

THIS IS IN REGARD TO THE UTILITY EASEMENT AT WALLACE.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES GRANT AN ELECTRICAL UTILITY EASEMENT TO PEDERNALES ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE AT WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AS PRESENTED. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO. SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THANK YOU ALL. THANKS, MAX.

TEAM. GREAT JOB GETTING THROUGH THOSE.

WE ARE UP TO OUR INFORMATION ITEMS.

[M.2. Update on Bond, Construction, and Renovation Projects in the district]

MR. CLEAVER.

MR.. RUNKLE. MR. CLEAVER. YOU WEREN'T DONE JUST YET.

SORRY, MR. CLEAVER. NO. THAT'S OKAY.

I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT I WAS NOT HERE.

LAST WEEK. I NOTICED THAT BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL TURF CAME OFF THE AGENDA.

IT'S STILL A BOND PROJECT, SO I'M GOING TO BRING IT UP.

YES, MA'AM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECORDINGS OR DOCUMENTATION THAT BARTLETT COX SAID, THAT WE WOULD BE 100% READY AT JOHNSON HIGH

[02:00:03]

YOU KNOW, I WILL JUST SAY THAT I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE MEMO, THE CONTINGENCY.

I GET THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, CONTINGENCY IS STILL TAXPAYER MONEY EVERY SINGLE CENT.

AND WHEN WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, COMPANIES AND PEOPLE THAT WE WORK WITH WHEN THEY SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE 100% READY, I EXPECT TO BE 100% READY, NOT PARTIALLY READY.

I VERY CANDIDLY REMEMBER THIS AND BEING TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE READY.

SO I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT THAT I DO REMEMBER THAT CONVERSATION.

I DO REMEMBER ALL OF THAT BEING STATED.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THAT'S IN WRITING ANYWHERE OR RECORDED ANYWHERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST TO SAY, I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH BARTLETT.

BARTLETT, COCKE AND EVERYONE ELSE.

BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SAY SOMETHING, THEN THAT'S WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE.

OR WE NEED TO SAY THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS, BUT 100% IS NOT PARTIAL.

READY? SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T GET TO SPEAK OF THAT LAST WEEK, AND THAT WAS A REAL EYE OPENER FOR ME.

YES, MA'AM. THAT'S THAT.

MR. FLORES. MS.H PETREA, I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENTS AS TRUSTEE RUNKLE LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.

I KNOW THAT CONSTRUCTION IS SUPPOSED TO START IN OCTOBER, SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY ABOUT EIGHT DAYS AWAY FROM THE END OF OCTOBER.

SO JUST LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.

THE DIGGING SHOULD REALLY START SIGNIFICANTLY THIS THIS WEEK, CORRECT? SAY THAT AGAIN NEXT EIGHT DAYS.

THE THE DIGGING UP OF THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS.

CORRECT. WITH THE RAIN.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WILL START THIS WEEK.

AND SO WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ABOUT A 30 FOOT STRIP AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL DUG OUT ALL THE WAY TO SUBGRADE.

AND I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY THE WAY TO GET IT TO RAIN AS YOU DIG A HOLE AND THEN IT RAINS.

AND SO WE HAVE ABOUT A 30 FOOT STRIP ACROSS THE OUTFIELD.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE WON'T BE DIGGING THERE TOMORROW.

THEY'LL BE DEWATERING IT LIKELY.

YOU KNOW, THEY'LL HAVE A PUMP OUT THERE GETTING THE WATER OUT SO THAT IT WHEN IT IS DRY ENOUGH, THEY CAN GET IN THERE AND PROOF ROLL IT.

BUT WE ARE NOW KIND OF A LITTLE BIT IN A WEATHER WEATHER PATTERN HOLD.

YES, SIR. AND CONTINUED GOOD NEWS ON THE, THE THE LANDFILL FOUND IN HAYS.

AND THAT'S RIGHT.

OKAY. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT IS THAT'S WHAT THEY THEY UNCOVERED THAT TODAY.

AND SO UNFORTUNATELY WE JUST CAN'T GET TO PROOF ROLLING IT BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO WET RIGHT NOW.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU MISS. MISS PETREA.

IT SOUNDS WEIRD TO HEAR RAIN DELAY.

I KNOW OF ANY KIND.

IF. SERIOUSLY, EVERY TIME WE START SOMETHING, IT RAINS.

WELL, KEEP STARTING STUFF BECAUSE WE NEED THE RAIN.

I JUST WANTED TO TO MAKE SURE ANYONE LISTENING AT HOME.

WE HAD A VERY ROBUST CONVERSATION LAST WEEK ABOUT TURF AND HOW THAT THAT MAY COST ADDITIONAL MONEY.

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WHITTLE THAT DOWN SO MUCH THAT WE CAN JUST KIND OF ROLL THAT INTO CONTINGENCY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE LISTENING AT HOME KNEW THAT WE DIDN'T TAKE IT OFF THE THE AGENDA BECAUSE WE, YOU KNOW, AREN'T GOING TO VOTE ON IT OR CAN'T VOTE ON IT.

IT'S MOVING AHEAD AS SCHEDULED AND WITHIN BUDGET.

THAT IS CORRECT. SO THANKS FOR THE WORK DONE ON THAT.

I DO KIND OF ECHO WHAT MS..

RUNKLE SAID. ALL THAT SEEMS WEIRD.

I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE'S ANY PROOF OF THAT, BUT I DO REMEMBER HEARING THAT QUITE A BIT AS WELL.

SO MAYBE THAT WAS JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING WE HAD WITH HOW THAT WORKS.

I DON'T DO THAT FOR A LIVING.

I DON'T KNOW, UM, BUT WE WILL KNOW FOR NEXT TIME WHAT THAT MEANS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT LOOKS LIKE IT FOR MR. CLEAVER. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR MR. RAO? OKAY TEAM, WE ARE ON AGENDA ITEM N A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE LIST? OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO SKIP THE RECAP BECAUSE THERE'S A BAZILLION OF THOSE, AND MISS RUNKLE PROBABLY NEEDS TO GATHER THOSE UP IN A LITTLE BIT OF AN ORGANIZED FASHION, SO WE'LL SKIP THAT. SO OUR NEXT MEETING IS NOVEMBER THE 13TH, RIGHT HERE IN THE CONTROL ROOM AT 5:30 P.M.

[P. UPCOMING BOARD MEETINGS]

NOT SEEING ANY. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 8:44 P.M..
