THANKS DR. WRIGHT. TEAM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR.

WRIGHT? ALL RIGHT.

VERY GOOD. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM H.

PUBLIC FORUM. MISS GLORIA, DO WE HAVE ANY GREEN SHEETS? ALL RIGHT. NO GREEN SHEETS.

SO WE ARE MOVING ON TO, AS WE ALWAYS SAY, OUR ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE PART OF OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS HEARING FROM OUR CAMPUSES.

[I. CAMPUS RECOGNITION ]

AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL WITH US TONIGHT.

I SEE MR. PIERCE STEPPING UP.

SO MR. PIERCE, TAKE IT AWAY.

GOOD EVENING, DR. WRIGHT, PRESIDENT MCMANUS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IT'S MY HONOR TO INTRODUCE TO YOU TONIGHT MISS KAREN ZUNIGA, THE PROUD PRINCIPAL OF LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE SHE'S BROUGHT SOME FABULOUS HIGH ENERGY GROUPS HERE TONIGHT TO SHOWCASE OR SPOTLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS, GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL. SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TURN THE MIC OVER TO MISS KAREN ZUNIGA.

GOOD EVENING. HOW ARE YOU? ALL RIGHT, DR. WRIGHT.

PRESIDENT MCMANUS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR INVITING US HERE TODAY.

SO WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO HIGHLIGHT OUR CAMPUS TODAY.

AND SO, KAREN ZUNIGA, THE PROUD PRINCIPAL AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL, LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL, THE HEART OF A PROUD AND DYNAMIC COMMUNITY, EMPOWERS LEARNERS FOR LONG, LIFELONG ACHIEVEMENT.

AND AS WE LOOK AT OUR VISION, OUR VALUES AND MOTTO, JUST MY PERSONAL VISION IS TO DEFINITELY CONTINUOUSLY BUILD THAT CULTURE OF OF PROGRESS AND COLLABORATION ON THE CAMPUS.

IF WE'RE NOT WORKING TOGETHER, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO SOLVE ANYTHING THAT THAT COMES OUR WAY AND WE WANT TO GET BETTER EVERY SINGLE DAY.

WE WANT TO BE BETTER THAN WHAT WE WERE YESTERDAY.

WE ARE EMBARKING ON OUR 20 YEARS THAT WE OPENED OUR DOORS 20 YEARS AGO, OUR LEGACY TOUR.

[00:05:06]

OUR PLC. WE WE CONTINUE TO REFINE THE PLC PROCESS AND JUST UNPACKING THOSE STANDARDS, GETTING TO KNOW THEM AND ANALYZING OUR OUR DATA.

AND WE DO THAT BY MAKING SURE THAT WE ALIGN ANY OF OUR STUDENT WORK, ANY OF OUR, YOU KNOW, THE TEACHING IS AND THE RESOURCES THERE, WE WANT TO ALIGN THEM TO THOSE STANDARDS.

DEFINITELY FOCUSING ON THOSE STUDENT EXPERIENCES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE HAVE OUR LOGO LOVE.

WE WANT TO DEFINITELY CELEBRATE ANYTHING THAT IS GREAT ON OUR CAMPUS.

AND SO THAT WE DO THAT IN A VARIETY OF WAYS WHERE OUR STUDENTS AND THEN ALSO OUR STUDENT TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF, AND WE DO THAT WEEKLY, WE DO THAT MONTHLY, WE DO THAT ANNUALLY AS WELL. AND THEN A LOT OF THOSE HAVE BECOME TRADITIONS ON OUR CAMPUS FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

WE DO HAVE OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING TIME FOUR TIMES A WEEK, 30 MINUTES.

WE CALL IT LOGO TIME.

AND EVERY SINGLE DAY THERE'S A DIFFERENT TOPIC THAT WE GO OVER.

ON TUESDAYS, WE FOCUS ON OUR SEVEN MINDSETS AND THOSE LESSONS THERE.

ONE THING I'M REALLY INCREDIBLY PROUD OF IS OUR 100% HAYS THAT WE'VE HAD ON OUR CAMPUS.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SCREEN THERE AND OUR BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

LAST YEAR, WE HAD 21% OF OUR STUDENTS THAT BELONG TO AN ORGANIZATION INVOLVED AND ENGAGED IN THE SCHOOL SOMEHOW.

THE VERY, VERY END OF THE YEAR, WE HAD 91%.

SO WE STARTED STRONG THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE TOOK SOME DATA, AND WE HAVE 66% OF OUR STUDENTS AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

SO THAT'S A HUGE JUMP.

I CAN TELL YOU I DO HAVE SOME GROUPS HERE.

AND WE'LL START WITH MR. HUDSON. AND HE IS THE LEAD AND HE FACILITATES THE SUBARU ORGANIZATION ON OUR CAMPUS.

SO I'LL LET HIM TALK.

GOOD EVENING, DR. WRIGHT.

MR. PRESIDENT. ALL RIGHT.

I AM CRAIG HUDSON.

I AM THE LEADER OF STUBRO NETWORK, ALSO THE AV VIDEO AND GRAPHIC DESIGN TEACHER AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.

WHAT STUBRO IS, IS SHORT FOR A STUDENT BROADCAST NETWORK.

IT'S A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS CREATIVITY RUNS WILD.

I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD IDEA, JUST AN UNRECOGNIZED POTENTIAL.

WHAT STUDENTS DO, THEY NOT ONLY CREATE VIDEOS, LOGOS, BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE LOGOS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN WERE CREATED BY OUR STUDENTS.

WE DO HAVE OUR VERY OWN YOUTUBE CHANNEL CALLED LEHMAN STUBRO, WHERE YOU CAN FIND HOW TO VIDEOS, COOKING SHOWS, TALK SHOWS, PODCASTS, YOU NAME IT. IT'S GIVING STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THEY WORK GO OUT AND JUST IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, STUDENTS WALKING AROUND CAMPUS SEEING ME WEARING THEIR WORK, SEEING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY WEARING THINGS THEY'VE CREATED FROM LOGOS TO T SHIRT DESIGNS.

WITH ME, I HAVE THE PRESIDENT OF OUR BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS OF AMERICA CHAPTER, MR. MATEUS [INAUDIBLE], MY RIGHT HAND MAN, MY DIRECTOR, HEAD EDITOR.

WE HAD ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON WITH BROADCAST IN THE STADIUM.

SO I'M GONNA LET HIM TELL YOU WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP.

GOOD EVENING. SO I AM THE PRESIDENT OF BPA.

WE COMPETE FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN, VIDEO AND SOME MISCELLANEOUS STUFF LIKE INTERVIEW SKILLS AND PREPARED SPEECH.

LAST YEAR WE MADE IT TO STATE FIRST TRY.

THIS YEAR WE'RE HOPING TO PLACE AT STATE AND POSSIBLY MAKE IT AT NATIONALS.

LIKE MR. HUDSON SAID, WE'RE CONSTANTLY ADDING NEW STUFF TO THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

THIS YEAR, OUR BIG HIT IS OUR PODCAST.

IT'S WHAT WOULD YOU DO? WITH JOHN AND SETH.

AND LASTLY, WE HAVE A ANNUAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL.

WE MAKE A VIDEO. WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR AS WELL.

AND THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT DECEMBER 15TH.

ALL RIGHT. AND THANK YOU.

AND YOU SEE THE QR CODE LIKE SUBSCRIBE.

YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL GET UPDATES WHEN WE RELEASE VIDEOS.

WE TRY TO RELEASE VIDEOS EVERY TWO WEEKS.

BUT LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, THAT IS OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

CHECK US OUT.

STUBRO NATION. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

YES. OUR NEXT GROUP WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT.

THAT'S PART OF 100% HAYS IS OUR FUTURE EDUCATORS.

HI, I'M JANELL PUCKETT AND I TEACH THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING PATHWAY AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL.

AND TAFE STANDS FOR TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF FUTURE EDUCATORS.

AND OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE POSITIVE ATTITUDES REGARDING ALL NOBLE ASPECTS OF EDUCATION, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHALLENGING ROLE OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION, AND TO

[00:10:03]

THAT'S OUR TAFE PLEDGE THAT WE SAY AT THE BEGINNING OF ALL OF OUR MEETINGS.

AS PART OF OUR ORGANIZATION, WE COMPETE IN SEVERAL TEACHER RELATED EVENTS AT REGIONAL, STATE AND NATIONAL COMPETITIONS.

LAST YEAR, WE HAD FOUR STUDENTS ADVANCE TO NATIONALS, WHICH WAS HELD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA.

THIS YEAR WE HAVE 17 STUDENTS COMPETING IN DIFFERENT EVENTS ON DECEMBER 2ND AND ARE HOPING TO MULTIPLE STUDENTS WILL ADVANCE TO STATE AND THEN NATIONALS AND NATIONALS THIS YEAR IS HELD IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

THESE ARE SOME OF MY COMPETITORS THIS YEAR.

THEY RANGE ALL THE WAY FROM I HAVE ALL THE WAY FROM FRESHMEN TO SENIORS, SO THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM.

SOME OF THE COMPETITIONS THEY'RE DOING ARE LESSON PLAN AND DELIVERIES.

I HAVE TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS, ONE THAT'S DOING HUMANITIES AND THE ONE THAT'S DOING HER LESSON ENTIRELY IN SPANISH.

I HAVE A GROUP THAT'S WRITING A CHILDREN'S BOOK.

I HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT GROUPS DOING TEACHER CREATIVE MATERIALS.

I HAVE ANOTHER ONE DOING EDUCATOR RISING MOMENT.

THAT'S ACTUALLY VICTORIA RIGHT HERE, AND SHE'S DOING IT IN SPANISH AS WELL.

IT'S LIKE GIVING A TED TALK, INTERACTIVE BULLETIN BOARD ETHICAL DILEMMA AND THEN PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT/ TEACHER RECRUITMENT.

SO THEY'RE WORKING ON MAKING A COMMERCIAL FOR Y'ALL SO YOU CAN USE IT IN YOUR FUTURE ADVERTISING.

SO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PROJECTS THAT WE DO IS THE MOBILE CLASSROOM THAT WE TAKE.

SO FAR WE'VE TAKEN IT TO TOBIAS BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF OUR PARTNER, SISTER SCHOOL.

WE STARTED IT LAST YEAR.

SO WE TAKE THE MOBILE CLASSROOM AND WE DESIGN A K-2 LESSON AND A35 LESSON, AND THEN CLASSES ROTATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND WE DELIVER THE LESSONS FROM START TO FINISH FOR ALL OF THOSE KIDS.

AND THEY LOVE IT. MY KIDS LOVE IT.

AND WE ARE PREPARING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW IN HAYS.

THANKS. OUR NEXT PROGRAM THAT WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS OUR WOMEN IN STEM.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND THAT'S HOW WE GET THINGS DONE.

WHEN WE COLLABORATE AND WORK TOGETHER, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE STRONGER TOGETHER AND WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

I'VE ACTUALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND EVENTS FOR ALL THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND HAS BEEN AMAZING.

WOMEN IN STEM. MY DAUGHTER LOVED IT.

YOUR APRIL FESTIVAL.

OF COURSE, FUTURE EDUCATORS IS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART, AND I ACTUALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH MS..

PUCKETT. SO I KNOW HER VERY WELL AND HER QUALITY OF WORK.

AND OF COURSE WITH OUR STU BRO, I'M CONSTANTLY RASPBERRY ALWAYS GOES UP AND CHECKS ON THEM AT THE STADIUM BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO DO THAT AND SHE SEES WHAT YOU ALL DO AND SHE'S LIKE, I WANT TO RUN THE CAMERA, I WANT TO DIRECT.

I WANT TO DO SO.

IT'S GREAT TO FACILITATE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY WE CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS IS BY CREATING CLOSING THAT OPPORTUNITY GAP.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND SHOWCASING ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

AND OF COURSE, OUR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT WE WERE SERENADED WITH.

THEY ALWAYS DO AN AMAZING JOB, LIKE MR. SEVERANCE AND I THAT WENT TO THE FESTIVAL.

AND I THINK, JOHNNY, YOU WERE THERE TOO.

WE GOT TO HEAR THEM AND WE'VE SEEN THEM PLAY BEFORE AND IT'S ALWAYS A NICE TREAT TO SEE THAT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING A POSITIVE CULTURE MOVING FORWARD.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FOR ME THEN I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

FIRST, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT LEHMAN, ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, BUT LEHMAN ESPECIALLY I THINK IS SUCH A VIBRANT PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

I LOVE WHEN GOING TO LIKE EVENING EVENTS.

HOW MANY PEOPLE JUST LIKE TO JUST SHOW UP AND HANG OUT ON CAMPUS AND EXPERIENCE WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? AND I THINK THAT JUST SPEAKS TO THE CULTURE OF THE CAMPUS AND WHAT IT MEANS TO TO EVERYONE IN THAT AREA.

I THINK THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I KNOW WE ALL CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION TO BE DONE, BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME PAIN BEFORE THE GAIN.

BUT MR. CLEAVER, I'M ASKING FOR SOME HELP HERE.

IF THERE'S NOT PICTURES OF FINAL PRODUCTS HANGING UP IN THE HALLWAYS WHERE THE THEY CAN SEE THEM AS THEY WALK UP AND DOWN THE HALLWAY EVERY DAY.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME AMAZING THINGS COMING TO THAT CAMPUS, AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM WHEN THEY'RE DONE, SO IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME.

SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY YOUR 100% HAYS STATISTIC.

GIVE ME A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT YOU CREDIT FOR FOR FOR THAT IT'S THE TEACHERS.

RIGHT. AND SO THE TEACHERS KNOW THAT IF IN ORDER TO GROW THEIR PROGRAM AND, YOU KNOW, OUR TEACHERS ARE SELECTING THEIR OWN CLUB ORGANIZATION AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT SOMETHING, RIGHT? AND SO THAT'S HOW THEY GROW IT.

THEY ADVERTISE.

AND ACTUALLY WE UTILIZE SUBARU TO CREATE A LESSON TO CREATE VIDEOS ON THEIRS.

AND THEN WE PLUG THAT INTO AN ACTUAL LESSON WITH OUR DURING OUR LOGO TIME.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE A MONDAY LESSON FOR EVERY FOR THE ENTIRE CAMPUS.

I KNOW OUR STUDENTS EVEN GET TO A POINT THAT THEY ARE CREATING THE POSTERS.

THEY HAVE QR CODES, SO IT'S EASY TO DOWNLOAD THAT, LOOK AT IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE BECAUSE THEY ALL THEY ALL HAVE THEIR PHONES.

AND REALLY, THAT'S REALLY THE TWO THINGS THAT I REALLY ATTRIBUTE TO THAT.

WELL, THERE SURE IS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF THAT'S GOING ON AT LEHMAN.

AND I THINK JUST GETTING THE KIDS ENGAGED AT THAT LEVEL JUST IS A SHINING STAR, AND IT KEEPS THEM ON CAMPUS AND ENGAGED, AND I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

SO THANK YOU FOR FOR PUSHING ON THAT.

SO OKAY, I THINK THAT WE HAVE PROBABLY SOME PICTURES TO TAKE WITH SO MANY HERE.

LET'S ALL MEET AT THE STAGE AND WE'LL DO SOME PICTURES.

MR. SAVOY.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, LET'S.

LET'S GET BACK TO BUSINESS.

JUST ONE LAST COMMENT ON THAT.

I LOVE BEING REMINDED OF WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.

AND IT'S THE STUDENTS.

AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S AWESOME.

LOVED HIM BEING HERE.

ALL RIGHT. SO TEAM WE ARE ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEM K.

IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO GET BACK TO JUST SORT OF THE ROUTINE BUSINESS HERE.

BUT WE ARE ON K.

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE PULLED FOR FURTHER FURTHER DISCUSSION? DO WHAT? NO.

I'M SORRY. ITEM J WAS LAST WEEK.

IF THERE.

THERE WAS A PRELIMINARY PRESENTATION, AND I'M SURE WE'LL HEAR MORE ON THIS ITEM SOON.

SO AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER FOR PEOPLE LISTENING ONLINE.

THE PRESENTATION FOR THAT WAS LAST WEEK.

[00:35:01]

[K. CONSENT AGENDA]

ANY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE PULLED.

ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE.

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

OKAY, TEAM, WE ARE ON PAGE 46 IF YOU WANT TO FLIP AHEAD.

[L.1.a. Consideration and possible approval of the Superintendent's recommendation for contractual employment of the Executive Director of Facilities, Construction, and Bond Programs]

SO OUR FIRST ONE IS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A HIRE OF OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES, CONSTRUCTION AND BOND PROGRAMS, MS..

CORSON. MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CHECK.

[L.2. Consideration and possible adoption of a Resolution regarding Compensation of Hemphill Elementary Staff affected by the Temporary Closure of the campus due to Aspergillus Penicillium Mold Remediation]

WHEREAS BOARD POLICY DEA LOCAL ALLOWS THE BOARD TO AUTHORIZE PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES DURING A CLOSURE FOR WHICH THE WORKDAYS ARE NOT SCHEDULED TO BE MADE UP AT A LATER DATE. WHEREAS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF HAYS C-I-S-D RECOGNIZES ITS OBLIGATION TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF PUBLIC RESOURCES AND CONCLUDES THAT PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES DURING THE CLOSURE, AS PROVIDED BY THIS RESOLUTION, IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SERVES THE APPROPRIATE PUBLIC PURPOSE OF POSITIVELY IMPACTING EMPLOYEES MORALE.

ALIGNS WITH THE DISTRICT'S COMMITMENT TO BEING AN UNRIVALED, EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ORGANIZATION AND ENSURES EFFECTIVE DISTRICT OPERATIONS.

[00:40:09]

EMPLOYEES WILL BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR REGULAR DUTY SCHEDULE DURING THE CLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS DETAILED BELOW.

ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS REQUIRED TO WORK DURING THE CLOSURE, BUT WAS ABSENT FROM DUTY FOR A REASON NOT RELATED TO MOLD REMEDIATION, WILL BE CHARGED A LEAVE DAY AND OR HAVE THEIR PAY DOCKED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DISTRICT POLICY.

ALL OTHER HEMPHILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO WORK DUE TO THE CLOSURE ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2023 WILL BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR REGULAR DUTY SCHEDULE. D ELIGIBLE NONEXEMPT EMPLOYEES PAID ON AN HOURLY, NOT SALARY BASIS WILL BE PAID AN AVERAGE DAILY RATE OF PAY, AS DETERMINED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT WORK ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2023.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MR. VELA.

FURTHER DISCUSSION, MR. FLORES. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, DR.

WRIGHT, FOR ONCE AGAIN CHOOSING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND OUR TEACHERS.

AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE RESILIENCE OF STAFF AT HEMPHILL AND THEIR STUDENTS.

THEY HAVE A MAGICIAN THERE TONIGHT.

THEY'RE HAVING A FAMILY LITERACY NIGHT TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY CAME BACK AND IS EAGER TO LEARN.

BUT BUT THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THIS.

AND MISS CORSON, THANK YOU ALL FOR CHOOSING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR TEACHERS THIS TIME AROUND.

OKAY. MISS OROSCO, DR.

WRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING UP WITH THIS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE THE BEST EMPLOYER FRIENDLY DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

I APPRECIATE THAT, AND THANK YOU, MISS CARSON, FOR WORKING ON THIS SO DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING COVERED.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

OKAY, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

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

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE ARE NOW ON TO PAGE 51.

[L.3. Consideration and possible approval of the Ratification of Building Repair Expenses at Hemphill Elementary School due to the Discovery and Abatement of Mold]

DUE TO THE DISCOVERY AND ABATEMENT OF MOLD, I THINK FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, WE'LL START WITH SOME DISCUSSION ON THIS ONE.

SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE.

MR. SIMMONS.

THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS, BUT ARE WE GOING TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM ON THIS TO RECOUP SOME OF THESE DOLLARS, OR WE HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET ON THIS? WE WERE UNABLE TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM ON IT BECAUSE A MOLD IS EXCLUDED FROM OUR POLICY, WHICH IS OF COURSE IT IS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU.

MR. FLORES.

I JUST HAD A QUESTION. THE AIR QUALITY TESTING.

THE COST IS $30,000 ON THE INVOICE AMOUNT.

DOES THAT INCLUDE THE AIR QUALITY TEST DONE AT ELM GROVE AND AT FUENTES ELEMENTARY AS WELL?

[00:45:03]

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ESTIMATED.

OKAY. AND ALSO THE TIMELINE FOR THE ART ROOM THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS SOMEWHAT DAMAGED FROM WHAT OCCURRED.

IS THAT TIMELINE STILL FOR DECEMBER THAT THE ART ROOM WILL BE READY? OKAY. YES, SIR. THAT'S RIGHT. WE DID ABOUT A THIRD OF THE ROOMS OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK AND THEN DOING THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OVER WINTER BREAK.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT, MAX.

OKAY, MS. RUNKLE.

YEAH, I HAVE AN INSURANCE QUESTION NOW.

SO MOLD WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE POLICY.

IS THAT JUST IS THAT TYPICAL IN ALL POLICIES? SO IT'S STANDARD TO NOT HAVE THAT INCLUDED IN ANY POLICIES.

YES, YOU CAN HAVE IT INCLUDED, BUT YOU PAY A SUBSTANTIAL FEE FOR DOING SO.

AND IN OUR PARTICULAR POLICY IT IS JUST EXCLUDED.

AND WHEN DOES OUR POLICY RUN LIKE HOW ARE THE POLICIES RUN? I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A RANDY QUESTION I BELIEVE OKAY, I THINK IT'S SEPTEMBER THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1ST THROUGH AUGUST 31ST.

YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO ASK WHAT IT WOULD BE TO ADD MOLD ONTO A ONTO THE POLICY.

I'LL SUBMIT THAT IN BOARD QUESTIONS.

BUT I'M GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT ADDITION IS TO ADD THAT ON ON POLICIES AND FUTURE RENEWALS.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

MR. VELA. YEAH.

SO QUICK QUESTION.

MR. CLEAVER I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THE ANSWER TO THIS OR MAYBE DOCTOR.

RIGHT. EXCUSE ME.

I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE LAST MEETING TO HEAR THE ROOT CAUSE WAS WASN'T POLISHED CONCRETE.

AND SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN RECOUP FROM, FROM THAT ASPECT AS WELL.

RIGHT. THAT THAT IT WAS, WAS THAT WORK DONE CORRECTLY AND ARE THERE ANY WARRANTY CLAIMS THAT WE STILL HAVE.

I THINK IT'S IT WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN. BUT I THINK IT HAS ALSO BEEN YEARS OF WET CLEANING.

BUT I THAT PARTICULAR SUMMER WE ALSO DID AIR CONDITIONING AT THAT SCHOOL.

SO THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO AIR AIR CONDITIONING IN THAT SCHOOL WHEN THAT FLOORING PROJECT WAS DONE.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHEN WHEN THAT ALL KIND OF OCCURRED.

OKAY. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A LIST OF LESSONS LEARNED WHEN WE DO OTHER PROJECTS TO MITIGATE THIS FROM ANY FUTURE OCCURRENCE.

YEAH. ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS WE DO NOW IS ON OUR NEW BUILDS.

THE BOTTOM 2 OR 3IN OF ALL THE WALLS IS LIKE A DENSE GLASS.

IT'S A NON WICKING MATERIAL, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF SHEETROCK IT'S A MATERIAL THAT WON'T SOAK UP THE WATER.

OKAY. AND ARE WE ARE WE GOING TO GO BACK AND RETROFIT ANY OF THAT.

WE DID THAT HERE. YES SIR.

JUST IN THE AREAS THAT WERE AFFECTED.

ARE WE DOING IT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING? ONLY ON THE AREAS WHERE WE TORE OUT.

OKAY. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO CONSIDER? I DON'T I DON'T THINK WE WOULD GO BACK AND TEAR OUT AREAS THAT ARE NOT AFFECTED.

BUT AS WE GO FORWARD, THAT IS OUR NEW SPEC ON, ON, ON.

WHEN WE BUILD NEW THINGS AND WHEN WE REPAIR, WE GO BACK AND DO THAT.

BUT I DON'T THINK WE WOULD WANT TO JUST GO IN AND TEAR THAT OUT JUST TO PUT IN A TWO INCH NON WICKING MATERIAL, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OH, MR. SIMMONS.

AND I APOLOGIZE. YOU HAVE THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE 2021 BOND INTEREST BUCKET? SIR. HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THE BOND INTEREST BUCKET FROM THE 21 2021 BOND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING THIS FROM? BY THE TIME WE LOOKED AT IT, WE IT WOULD COVER THIS.

I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU.

IT'S MORE THAN THAT NUMBER.

NO, IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY VOTE.

I JUST WAS CURIOUS HOW MUCH WE HAVE LEFT IN THERE.

SO IF YOU COULD JUST GET THAT AFTER, THAT'D BE GREAT.

OKAY. OKAY TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE RATIFICATION OF EXPENSES FOR REPAIRS AT HEMPHILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DUE TO THE DISCOVERY AND ABATEMENT OF MOLD IN THE AMOUNT OF $858,380 AS PRESENTED. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO. SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, THAT WAS ALL THE NEW ITEMS FOR THIS WEEK.

THE REST OF OUR ACTION ITEMS WERE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED LAST WEEK.

CERTAINLY OPPORTUNITY FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION THIS WEEK.

WE ARE ON PAGE 53.

[L.4. Consideration and possible approval of 2023-2024 Campus Improvement Plans Containing Performance Objectives and Strategies]

DR. WRIGHT HAD ASKED TO SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ONE BEFORE OUR DISCUSSION.

SO, DR. WRIGHT, THANK YOU.

SO JUST AS A REMINDER, OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET STATE AND FEDERAL COMPLIANCE LAWS.

[00:50:03]

AND WE DO ASK THAT THOSE GOALS BE REFLECTED IN THESE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT EACH ONE OF THESE ARE FRAMEWORKS.

AND AND WE ASK THAT THE PRINCIPAL WORK WITH THE DAO TO REFINE THESE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THAT THEY'RE EVER EVOLVING.

AND SO JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU GUYS, IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY CAMPUS AND YOU'D LIKE TO GET WITH MARTY VELA AND THE DAOS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THESE, AND THEN FEEL FREE TO TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ONE OF US AND WE'LL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THAT.

BUT FOR THE VAST MAJORITY, WE HAVE THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN TO OUR SHOWCASES, WE HAVE OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PLAYBOOK STRATEGIES.

WE HAVE THE LOOK FORCE, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR ASSESSMENT DATA, WE HAVE THE BOARD GOALS.

AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT TRULY GUIDE US.

THE I DON'T WANT TO DE-EMPHASIZE THESE THINGS, BUT THEY REALLY ARE MORE FOR COMPLIANCE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

THEY THEY AREN'T LIKE OUR OUR BIBLE THAT DRIVE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

OUR BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT GOALS ARE SO IN OUR EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO THE FOREFRONT AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR.

WRIGHT. MS. OROSCO.

DR. WRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FRAMING IT THAT WAY.

RIGHT. AND TALK TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S AN EVOLVING DOCUMENT, BECAUSE I CANNOT STAND WHEN YOU SAY IT'S A BREATHING, LIVING DOCUMENT, IT JUST GETS MY GOAT RIGHT. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR CHANGING IT UP.

BUT IT IS AN EVOLVING DOCUMENT.

I KNOW THAT I HAVE WORKED ON CIPS WHEN I WAS ON CLT, AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS BEFORE ON CIPS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO BE ALIGNED TO DISTRICT GOALS AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND TO WORK WITH THE DAO, TO HAVE THOSE DOCUMENTS EVOLVE AND MODIFY AS NEEDED.

I KNOW AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THEM, I KNOW A LOT OF STUFF THAT CAMPUSES ARE DOING WASN'T INCLUDED IN THERE, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING.

SO I LIKE YOU CALLING IT A FRAMEWORK INSTEAD FOR COMPLIANCE REASONS.

SO THANK YOU FOR FRAMING IT THAT WAY.

I THINK THAT IS VERY HELPFUL.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING MAYBE AN UPDATE, YOU KNOW, AT QUARTERLY OR AT THE END OF THE YEAR ONCE IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED AND HAS GONE THROUGH SOME CHANGES. I KNOW WE SAW SOME A FEW CHANGES THAT WERE POSTED, BUT MAYBE AT THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE CHANGES WERE WHERE THEY'RE REDLINED AND, YOU KNOW, BLUE FONT KIND OF THING.

SO WE CAN SEE THOSE CHANGES A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

SO BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT FOR PREFACING THIS AGENDA ITEM.

MS. RUNKLE. YES.

THANK YOU, MRS. OROSCO, THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REQUESTED WAS TO SEE SOME CHANGES IN THE SPRING.

I KNOW THAT AT THE LAST MEETING, I SHARED THAT I WANTED SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

I READ EVERY SINGLE PAGE OF EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH MONTEVALLO ABOUT THEM.

AND I DID NOTICE TODAY THAT THERE WERE SOME CHANGES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE, SO THAT MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN HELP US WITH, WITH THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT WAS CHANGED.

SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS.

BUT I DO LIKE THAT YOU POINTED OUT THAT IT WAS A REVOLVING DOCUMENT.

YOU KNOW, I'LL SAY THAT THERE WERE SOME CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS THAT JUST KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK.

I MEAN, THEY HIT EVERYTHING, AND THERE WERE SOME THAT REALLY PROBABLY COULD HAVE USED SOME MORE TIME.

AND SO I KNOW THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON THAT.

BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THOSE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

FOR ONE, LISTENING TO THE THINGS THAT SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH, MAYBE THE MENTAL HEALTH PIECE OR THE SEL OR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION OR BILINGUAL PIECES THAT WERE ADDRESSED AND KIND OF TIGHTENED UP A LITTLE BIT.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW IT CHANGES FROM TODAY AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE SPRING.

SO I'LL NOTE THAT ON QUESTIONS THOUGH.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THE.

LET ME FIND OUT WHERE I'M AT HERE.

HOLD ON JUST A MOMENT. ALL RIGHT.

THEY SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE 2023-2024 CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS, CONTAINING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES AS PRESENTED.

[L.5. Second Reading and possible adoption of TASB Policy Update 122 Affecting Local Policies]

DR. WRIGHT, I'LL ASK THE QUESTION THAT WE ALWAYS ASK, AND THEN WE'LL GET TO IT.

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS.

YES. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THIS POLICY AND THE UPDATES WITH THE TEACHER ORG REPS, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES AND WERE GOOD WITH THE CHANGES, AND THEY WANTED ME TO REPORT THAT BACK TO YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THE TASB POLICY.

UPDATE 122 AS PRESENTED.

MOVE BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING? NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

JUST A MOMENT.

OKAY. SO FIRST UP IS JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL AND THE PACKAGE AS PART OF 2023 BOND BID PACKAGE TWO.

WE'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION ON THESE.

I'LL CERTAINLY OPEN IT UP FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION, BUT I'M GOING TO START WITH THE SUGGESTED MOTION.

I'M SORRY, DID I MISS ONE? OH, I'M SORRY, I HAVE MARKED.

I APOLOGIZE, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

I MARKED THE WRONG THING ON THE VOTE TALLY.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PRODUCED BY O'CONNELL ROBERTSON ARCHITECTS AND ESTIMATED BY CORE CONSTRUCTION FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $49,254,587 AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MR. SEVERANCE.

SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. DISCUSSION.

MS.. PETREA. HELLO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST WANT TO GO ON RECORD JUST TO EXPRESS MY DESCENT, I GUESS, ON ADDING SIX BASKETBALL GOALS TO OUR ALL PURPOSE GYM AND WANT TO FIND OUT IF MR. CLEAVER CAN LET US KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS FOR EACH BASKETBALL GOAL TO BE INSTALLED.

I'M GOOD WITH TWO.

SIX FEELS LIKE A LOT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE THROWING RIFLES AND THROWING FLAGS UP IN THAT GYM.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE HEIGHT OF THE BASKETBALL GOAL WHEN THEY'RE DOWN AND WHEN THEY'RE UP.

I'VE SEEN RIFLES GO AS HIGH AS THE CEILING, AT LEAST, SO I WANT TO KNOW IF THAT WILL MAKE THE COLOR GUARD PRACTICE AREA SMALLER.

IF THE GOALS ARE DOWN ON THE SIDES VERSUS ON THE ENDS, IF YOU WILL, FOLLOW ME AND JUST WANT TO AGAIN EXPRESS THAT A LOT OF THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND WHY WE NEEDED ANOTHER GYM WAS THAT THE COLOR GUARD HAD NO SPACE, AND I PERSONALLY WATCHED THEM BE RUN OFF FROM VARIOUS AREAS IN JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

THROWING THOSE RIFLES AND FLAGS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT JUST ANYWHERE IN THE CAMPUS.

IT'S HARD TO DO THAT.

VERY FEW PLACES HAVE THE CEILING HEIGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT, AND THIS IS WHAT THIS GYM WAS FOR.

SO WHEN YOU PUT SIX BASKETBALL GOALS IN THERE, STORED HIGH OR LOW, THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN THE WAY IN TERMS OF PRACTICE.

MAYBE NOT, BECAUSE WHEN THEY PERFORM THEY TAKE UP AN ENTIRE GYM FLOOR.

[01:00:02]

AND THOSE FLAGS JUST WOULD HELP TO GET SOME MEASUREMENTS OF, YOU KNOW, IS THE ACTIVITY AREA FINE. IS HAS EVERYONE MEASURED THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

THAT'S IT, MR. SEVERANCE. AND AS YOU WERE SAYING THAT I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT FOR A SECOND TO HELP WITH THAT SITUATION, I'M SURE PATTY WOULD BE WILLING TO MAYBE GET SOME KEYS SPECIFICALLY DONE FOR THOSE GOALS, TO PUT THEM UP AND DOWN AND GIVE THOSE DIRECTLY TO THE FINE ARTS FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THAT.

SO THEN THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL OF THAT PRACTICE AREA WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

I'M JUST I MEAN, LIKE THE BATHROOMS WE'RE GOING TO DO AT THE END OF THE HALL FOR THE ADDITIONAL BATHROOM NEEDS, AND THEY'RE ALWAYS LOCKED AS LONG AS THE BAND DIRECTORS COLOR GUARD HAS THE ABILITY TO PUT THOSE UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN.

AND SOMEONE'S COMING TO THE MIC.

YES. GO AHEAD JASON.

I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT WE WERE OUT WALKING JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL AND HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT CONCERN IN PARTICULAR, WE ACTUALLY MET WITH THE DIRECTOR OF COLOR GUARD, WHO HAPPENED TO BE OUT IN THE CAFETERIA PRACTICING, AND WE ASKED HIM TO COMPARE IT TO THE EXISTING COMPETITION GYM THAT'S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT HAS THE SAME FORWARD FOLDING GOALS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THE SAME HEIGHTS.

HE ACTUALLY SAID THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CLEARANCE IN THERE, SO WE'LL HAPPILY PROVIDE ALL THE DIMENSIONS THAT YOU NEED.

BUT WE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HORSE'S MOUTH AND ASKED THEM, IF YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS GOING TO WORK.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

MR. SANDERS DOES THAT CLOSE IT? OKAY. SO JUST A REMINDER THAT EVEN, YOU KNOW, APPROVING DD TONIGHT DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY CHANGES AS WE WORK TOWARDS CDS.

SO WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

MS. OROSCO. I JUST WANT TO MENTION, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

MS. PETREA.

WHEN YOU ASK SOMEBODY, ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW GYM? AND ARE YOU OKAY WITH WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING? THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SAY, WELL, NO.

YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS GOING TO HURT US TO HAVE THIS OR THAT, RIGHT? SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH STOCK I WOULD PUT ON THAT, YOU KNOW, BEING PUT ON THE SPOT LIKE THAT.

SO I'M JUST SAYING MAYBE THAT'S NEEDS A DEEPER DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT THE COLOR GUARD AND THE FINE ARTS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP BEFORE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION GOING ON ON THAT.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT YEAH, WE CAN CHANGE IT LATER.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO CHARGE US UP.

AND I DON'T LIKE TO GET CHARGED FOR ANYTHING.

SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO THOSE STAKEHOLDERS THAT THEY ARE AWARE, I MEAN, WHAT IS I DON'T SEE THE REASONING BEHIND IT OR WHY.

AND I'M NOT AN ARCHITECT AND ALL OF THAT.

HOWEVER, I THINK IT NEEDS A DEEPER LOOK AS WELL.

AND UNLESS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CHARGE US IF WE DECIDE NOT TO DO IT LATER BECAUSE I MEAN, IT COSTS MONEY TO DO THEM.

SO IS THERE A CHARGE IF WE DECIDE, HEY, WE DON'T NEED SIX BASKETBALL HOOPS IN HERE? WELL, IF IT'S SIMPLY A MATTER OF SIX VERSUS TWO, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNOW WE HAVE NO DOG IN THE FIGHT ON THIS ONE.

IF YOU ALL WANT TWO GOALS OR SIX, WE WILL DO IT EITHER WAY.

THAT'S REALLY A DISCUSSION AMONGST STAKEHOLDERS.

BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT AT THIS POINT, WHILE WE'RE DRAWING STUFF, IT IS VERY EASY TO TAKE STUFF IN AND OUT, EVEN ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACTOR DECIDES TRIES TO BUY THE BASKETBALL GOALS, IT'S RELATIVELY EASY TO TAKE THEM IN AND OUT.

I DID WANT TO POINT OUT WE TRIED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC IN THE QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED THE DIRECTOR, AND WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED HIM AND SAID, DO THOSE GOALS GET IN YOUR WAY IN THAT GYM WHEN YOU'RE THROWING STUFF UP IN THE AIR? SO WE TRIED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC, AND WE'LL CERTAINLY WE CAN ACTUALLY PULL HIM INTO ONE OF OUR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, AND WE CAN DOCUMENT THAT CONVERSATION IN MINUTES AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM, BECAUSE BEING CAUGHT IN THE CAFETERIA MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME, BECAUSE I KNOW AS A TEACHER, I MIGHT BE LIKE, I GOT TO GET TO MY NEXT CLASS.

I HAVEN'T PROCESSED THIS QUESTION AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS AND LOOKS LIKE FOR MY TEAM.

SO HAVING THAT ABILITY TO PROCESS THOSE QUESTIONS AND GIVE IN TIME TO LIKE, OKAY, LET ME REALLY THINK ABOUT IT AND BOUNCE IDEAS WITH OTHER COLOR GUARD PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER SCHOOLS AND SO ON.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

SO I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT AND REACH OUT AND FIND OUT.

MAYBE WE'RE COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS HERE, AND HOOPS ARE SO FUN AND GREAT AND ARE GOING TO HELP OUR FLAGS, I DON'T KNOW, BUT..

WE'LL CROSS THE T'S AND DOT THE I'S FOR SURE.

DEFINITELY TAKING THE TIME AT AN APPROPRIATE SPECIFIC MEETING WOULD BE GREAT.

WE'LL DO. THANK YOU.

OKAY. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT I AGREE.

[01:05:01]

BUT I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU WERE MANAGED TO FIND SOMEONE TO ASK.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR DOING THAT.

SO OKAY TEAM WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSION.

SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED.

THAT MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

OKAY, TEAM, WE ARE ON LA, PAGE 99.

I'M JUST SO EXCITED, SO EXCITED THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND JUST WANT TO CREDIT MR. CLEAVER, THE ARCHITECTS, JASON WITH HUCKABEE, THE FOC.

MISS BEDWELL, YOU'RE HERE, JUST TO GET TO THIS POINT.

WE ARE MOVING SO FAST ON THINGS THAT WE JUST I FEEL LIKE WE JUST VOTED ON NOT THAT LONG AGO.

SO JUST THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK TO GET HERE.

MR. SEVERANCE. THANK YOU.

MAX, I WANT TO COMMENT JUST TO SAY THANKS AGAIN FOR I KNOW WE ADDED THE $1.74 MILLION FROM BID PACKAGE 11 OVER TO THIS PROJECT TO LET BARTLET HANDLE THE RESTROOM CONCESSIONS PROJECT.

I THINK THEY'RE BETTER SUITED TO DO THAT.

THAN THAN THAN CORE WAS.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT.

TO KIND OF MAKE IT MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER AT LEHMAN AS FAR AS THE HARD WORK OUT THERE.

UM, BUT WITH THAT MONEY MOVING OVER, I'M SURE IT'S I'M SURE IT DID.

BUT ALL THE, THE CONTINGENCIES MOVE WITH IT, LIKE THE 1.75, LIKE THE ALL THE FF THE I MEAN, ALL THE EVERYTHING RELATED TO THAT ALSO MOVED OVER INTO THIS BID PACKAGE. THAT'S RIGHT.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, THE 1.75 THAT'S THE TOTAL PROJECT, 80% OF THAT'S THE CONSTRUCTION NUMBER AND THEN 7% FOR ARCHITECTS, 7% FOR..

THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT INCLUDES ALL THAT, AND IT'S ALL MOVED.

ALL MOVES OVER. OKAY, GREAT.

AWESOME. THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THANK YOU. MR. FLORES, I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION.

DID WE EVER GET AN ANSWER FROM THE CITY OF KYLE ON WHY THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW BUILDING THE ROADWAY ALONG THAT WATER EASEMENT.

SO WE ACTUALLY PROVIDED AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IN THE BOARD.

QUESTIONS BASICALLY SAYS THE NAME OF THE GENTLEMAN THAT WE TALKED TO AND THAT THEY NEVER CITED US ANY ORDINANCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THEY BASICALLY JUST SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT APPROVE IT.

SO WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY THEM TO CITE ANYTHING TO US THAT SAYS, THIS IS THE REASON WHY.

MR. CLEAVER I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR INNOVATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM AND MAKING SURE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD.

THESE ARE IMPORTANT PROJECTS AND THANK YOU OCR FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HOW THIS GOES.

MR. SIMMONS. THANK YOU.

I KNOW YOU'D ANSWERED THIS IN YOUR BLOG AND I KNOW THIS IS SCHEMATIC DESIGN, SO WE'RE JUST NOW GETTING STARTED.

BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO WHENEVER YOU WHEN YOU HAVE THE MEETINGS BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS THAT YOU WOULD INDICATED LIKE WHAT THOSE COSMETIC IMPROVEMENTS TO KYLE ELEMENTARY AND TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY ARE GOING TO CONSIST OF FOR THE BALANCE OF THAT, I THINK IT'S LIKE $450,000 PER CAMPUS.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE PRIORITY LIST OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

THAT'D BE GREAT. AND THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

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

GREAT JOB TEAM, WE'VE GOT ONE.

[L.11. Consideration and possible approval of the Schematic Design the Coop Purchase of HVAC Equipment for 2023 Bond Bid Package 7 for improvements at Impact Center and Tobias Elementary]

THIS IS A SIMILAR CREATIVE THINKING PROBLEM SOLVING SOLUTION FROM MAX CLEAVER AND TEAM, BUT IT'S THE SD AND CO OP PURCHASE OF HVAC EQUIPMENT AS PART OF A BOND BID PACKAGE SEVEN AT IMPACT AND TOBIAS.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR 2023 BOND BOND BID PACKAGE SEVEN, AS DESIGNED BY O'CONNELL ROBERTSON ARCHITECTS AND ESTIMATED BY LEE LEWIS CONSTRUCTION, AND APPROVE A CO OP PURCHASE OF HVAC EQUIPMENT FROM SC MECHANICAL FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,385,297 AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. FLORES. FURTHER DISCUSSION.

MR. SEVERANCE.

MAX, COULD YOU SEE THE, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN CONSTRUCTION.

THE PRICING FOR ORIGINAL BUDGET FOR CONSTRUCTION SD IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

CAN YOU TALK US THROUGH WHY THAT INCREASE FROM WHAT WE ORIGINALLY BUDGETED? WHAT'S THAT NOW? THE ORIGINAL BUDGET FOR CONSTRUCTION IS 6.8 MILLION.

THE SD IS COMING IN AT 8.4 MILLION.

YES, THIS ONE IS A LOT OF ROOFING AND HVAC EQUIPMENT.

AND BOTH OF THOSE, WE HAVE SEEN PRICE INCREASES ON BOTH ROOFING AND HVAC.

AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS SPECIFICALLY ON HVAC GOING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO BE REAL CAREFUL ABOUT SAYING, HEY, THAT'S A ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF CODE CHANGES AND THINGS THAT ARE DRIVING THAT PRICE UP, FRESH AIR AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

SO HVAC EQUIPMENT AND ROOFING IS THE MAIN OR THE MAIN DRIVERS.

DECIBEL LEVELS APPARENTLY TOO.

THAT'S ON THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AS WELL.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

SO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT'S ALL IN HVAC AT THIS POINT.

HVAC AND ROOFING.

ROOFING. YES, SIR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. A MOMENT OF PANIC.

WE'RE GOOD. YEAH, WE'RE.

WE'RE OKAY. WE'RE OKAY.

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

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, THAT CONCLUDES OUR ACTION ITEMS FOR THE EVENING.

WE'RE NOW ON M ONE, INFORMATION ITEMS.

[M.1. Update on Safety and Security Initiatives in the District]

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

WRIGHT ON THE ISSUES.

YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNICATION REGARDING THE LEHMAN BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY REFRESHING TO SEE THOSE TRACTORS OUT THERE DIGGING.

[01:15:01]

I WANTED TO KNOW, WAS THERE ANY ISSUES WITH GETTING THE PERMITTING, THE NECESSARY PERMITTING FROM THE CITY OF KYLE THAT WE NEEDED IN ORDER TO GET THAT CONSTRUCTION DONE? NO, SIR.

THAT GOSH, NOW THAT WE'VE HAD THE THANKSGIVING WEEK, I THINK IT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO NOW, WEDNESDAY, TWO WEEKS AGO, I THINK WE GOT THE PERMIT.

SO AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE ATTEMPTING TO WORK 6 A.M.

TO 9 P.M..

I THINK THAT'S WITHIN THE ORDINANCE.

WE ARE GOING TO GO FOR A VARIANCE.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO FOR THAT.

NOW, WE WOULDN'T PROPOSE TO DO TRUCKING OR DANGEROUS THINGS LIKE THAT AT NIGHT OR LATE INTO THE EVENING.

BUT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE END OF THAT PROJECT AND THERE MAY BE PUTTING IN THE INFILL OR THERE SEWING SEAMS OR THEY'RE TYING FENCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE MIGHT ASK TO GO A LITTLE BIT PAST 9:00.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TRY TO GET THAT VARIANCE, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT IN THE FRONT OF THE PROJECT.

YES, SIR. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO GET THIS DONE.

THANK YOU, DR. WRIGHT, AS WELL.

AND I'LL CERTAINLY BE AT THE MEETING TOMORROW.

BUT AGAIN, VERY APPRECIATIVE.

THANK YOU. BYRON.

YEAH, THANKS. I SAW ON BOARD BLOG YOU SAID THAT THE SUN FIELD SIGN IS NOW OPERATIONAL.

THE MARQUEE IS NOW OPERATIONAL.

THE MARQUEE IS OPERATIONAL.

THE STAFF. THE STAFF IS TRAINED ON HOW TO USE IT.

I BELIEVE THAT'S COMING UP ON EITHER THE FIFTH OR THE SEVENTH.

AND THE STAFF IS ON BOARD TO GET THAT TRAINING.

IS THAT LIKE A ONE DAY TRAINING FOR THEM OR IS THAT I THINK SO, OR MAYBE NOT EVEN A WHOLE DAY SO I CAN BUY AN ADVERTISEMENT ON THAT THING THE DAY AFTER? THAT'S RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. GREAT.

BUT YEAH, IT'S THE TRAINING HAD TO DO WITH DATA SECURITY JUST FROM THAT LITTLE LINK FROM OR SOMETHING.

WHATEVER. YEAH. GREAT.

DATA SECURITY. YEAH.

LOTS OF DATA. YEAH. OKAY.

THANKS. MR..

RUNKLE I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I JUST I'M JUST NOW LOOKING AT THE RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION, THE CITY OF KYLE ON THE DRAINAGE ISSUES. SO I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WHOEVER WAS SO GRACIOUS AND WORKED WITH YOU ON THIS PERMIT, MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK TO THEM ABOUT THIS.

VERY POSSIBLY, YEAH.

BECAUSE THAT'S INTERESTING.

THE CITY WILL NEVER APPROVE THIS.

YEAH. SO MAYBE THE PERSON THAT'S DEALING WITH YOU ON THE LEHMAN PERMITS, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM AND ASK THEM, WELL, WHY WILL THEY NOT APPROVE THIS OR WHY WILL THEY NEVER APPROVE THIS? AND THE REASON. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. MISS PETREA.

I'M JUST FEELING GRATEFUL.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M COMING ON THANKSGIVING.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WANT TO JUST SAY, LIKE, THERE ARE SO MANY PROJECTS THAT ARE SWIRLING AROUND.

I KEEP TELLING THIS BOARD AND MYSELF THAT SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD, WE'VE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROJECTS GOING AT THE SAME.

IS THAT TRUE? IT JUST FEELS LIKE THAT.

NO, I'VE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS AND THIS IS THE MOST WE'VE EVER HAD.

AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER HAD MORE GOING PERSONALLY EITHER.

RIGHT. YEAH. YEAH.

YOU'RE RENOVATING YOUR OWN HOUSE, I THINK, OR SOMETHING CRAZY.

BUT. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SAY IT EARLIER, I'M SO HAPPY THAT MR. WINDSORWICH, WHICH IS JOINING THE TEAM TO KIND OF HELP WITH ALL OF THESE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT.

I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION.

OTHER FOLKS, I'M GLAD WE BROUGHT UP THE BASEBALL.

I WAS GLAD TO HEAR MISS MS..

ZUNIGA ALSO BRING IT UP TODAY.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP US UPDATED ON THAT.

WE ARE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THAT.

DID WE HEAR IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL COST, ARE WE HAVING TO RUSH THE PROJECT? THERE WERE SOME COST TO ACCELERATE, BUT IT WAS UNDER WHAT Y'ALL APPROVED BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

SO WE'RE STILL WITHIN THE WITHIN THE THE THE MONEY THAT YOU ALL APPROVED.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

USING SOME OF THE CONTINGENCY THAT WAS BUILT IN.

I SEE OKAY.

CAN WE FIND OUT WHAT THAT DOLLAR FIGURE WAS? JUST THE ACCELERATION COST FOR DOING THAT.

I MEAN, I THINK AT THIS POINT OUR LEHMAN COMMUNITY IS READY FOR THAT AND NEEDS THAT.

SO I'M SUPPORTIVE OF OF GETTING IT DONE.

AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN BUDGET WITH CONTINGENCY, WHICH IS WHY WE BUILT IN CONTINGENCY, FRANKLY.

ABSOLUTELY. AND I HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT SHOWS, YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL BUDGET AND THEN WHAT Y'ALL APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER.

AND WHEN Y'ALL APPROVE THAT THE AMOUNT IN SEPTEMBER, SOME OF THOSE WERE HARD BIDS AND SOME OF THEM WERE ESTIMATES.

AND SO THEN I HAVE TWO MORE DATES THAT KIND OF SHOW THAT THAT COST JOURNEY TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

AND I THINK THE VARIANCE WILL HELP US IF THERE ARE SOME IN CASE WE NEED IT.

[01:20:04]

HOPEFULLY IT IS A LOW NOISE AFTER HOURS WORK, RIGHT? NO HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

WE'LL BE DONE WITH THAT BY THEN.

PINKY PROMISE. NO HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

OKAY. THANKS, MAX.

[O. RECAP OF QUESTIONS]
