CURRENTLY WE HAVE BAND AND COLOR GUARD.

WE HAVE DANCE AND CHEER, TENNIS, VOLLEYBALL, CROSS COUNTRY, FOOTBALL, GOLF, WATER POLO.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON FOR OUR KIDS.

OUR FIRST HOME FOOTBALL GAME IS THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT LIKE THEM, I HOPE YOU LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HATE THEM, I'M SORRY.

ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR WRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I'M LOOKING TO MY LEFT FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. LOOKING RIGHT.

OKAY, TEAM, THAT BRINGS US TO OUR PUBLIC FORUM.

I DO NOT SEE ANY GREEN SHEETS, MISS GLORIA SAYING NO.

SO MAYBE NEXT TIME, FOLKS.

ALL RIGHT, THAT TAKES US TO LETTER I, OUR CONSENT AGENDA BEGINNING ON PAGE EIGHT.

[I. CONSENT AGENDA (Part 1 of 2)]

I WILL LOOK TO SEE IF WE NEED ANY ITEMS PULLED.

OKAY, SO, MR. SERVANTS, FIRST I'D LIKE TO PULL I8.

OKAY. MRS. OROSCO.

OKAY. MISS RUNKLE? I AM PULLING I4.

OKAY AND MR. FLORES. I2 PLEASE.

I2 ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GET THESE QUESTIONS.

I TWO YEAH. WHICH ONE.

I2C OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

SO THE WE'LL START WITH ITEM 2C FOR ANY QUESTIONS MISS SEDILLO DO YOU WANT TO COME UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT MR. FLORES MAY HAVE OR ANYBODY ELSE.

I MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU FOR COMING UP.

YEAH. I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT HOW WE'VE EXPANDED SINCE LAST YEAR WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS.

I KNOW YOU'VE TOUCHED ON IT BEFORE, JUST SO EVERYBODY CAN HEAR ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL CAMPUSES THAT WILL BE HAVING SERVICE.

ABSOLUTELY. I KNOW MICHAEL IS DYING.

[00:05:02]

DOCTOR WRIGHT, PRESIDENT VELA, I KNOW THAT MICHAEL CAME UP HERE BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S DYING TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION AND SO I'M GOING TO EMPOWER HIM TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS HE OVERSEES OUR COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AND ALL THINGS COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE AND SO I'D LIKE TO GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY.

BUT WE HAVE EXPANDED AND SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR WATSON.

YES. THANK YOU.

SO WE'VE KIND OF DONE A COUPLE OF THINGS.

WE'RE GOING BACK TO SOMETHING THAT WE DID IN THE PAST.

SO IT IMPACTS CENTER.

WE HAD DONE SOME SHIFTING AROUND AND THIS IS GOING TO RETURN THIS BACK TO IMPACT CENTER AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO EXPAND AT ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THEN JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

WE REDUCED THEIR AND SO WE'RE JUST SHUFFLING SOME THINGS AROUND.

I KNOW LAST YEAR, LIKE A LOT OF THE KIDS KIND OF REALLY SPOKE HIGHLY OF COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AND THE SERVICES THAT THEY OFFER, WHETHER IT BE YOU KNOW, TAKING CARE OF A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE OR ETCETERA.

SOMETHING GOING ON AT HOME WITH COUNSELING.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO AND I KNOW THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKLOG LAST YEAR, A LOT OF CASES TO BE HEARD, A LOT OF KIDS TO BE SEEN.

ARE WE ADEQUATELY STAFFED WITH COUNSELORS? ET CETERA. IN OUR CAMPUSES.

SO I BELIEVE SO.

OBVIOUSLY, WE KNOW THAT THE NEEDS CONTINUE TO ARISE, ESPECIALLY POST PANDEMIC, THAT WE'RE SEEING MORE THINGS, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THINGS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A STEP WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS.

AS WELL, TO START SERVING MORE STUDENTS AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR NEEDS.

OKAY AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM, AND IT SERVES A LOT OF OUR KIDS AND SERVES A GREAT PURPOSE.

SO I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAD, JUST TO SPEAK ON THE EXPANSION THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS PROGRAM.

YES. PERFECT AND JUST ANOTHER SIDE NOTE WITH ULAND GOING OVER 900 STUDENTS, WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY ADDING ANOTHER COUNSELOR THERE TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS. SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND WE KNOW AS WE GET MORE STUDENTS HERE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE NEEDS AND WE'LL CONTINUE THAT.

GREAT. I KNOW YOU WERE EXCITED TO COME UP AND SPEAK ABOUT IT, AND THANKS FOR SHOWING THAT I APPRECIATE IT.

DOCTOR WATSON THANK YOU [INAUDIBLE].

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'RE NOT DONE YET.

WE HAVE ACTUALLY ONE MORE QUESTION THAT POPPED UP.

MISS PETREA, SHE WANTED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE EXCITEMENT.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT VELA.

YES, I HAD I HAD SUBMITTED A QUESTION ABOUT IMPACT CIS.

NOW I CAN'T FIND IT AND SO I JUST WANTED TO GO ON RECORD THAT I AM NEVER IN FAVOR OF TAKING COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS FROM IMPACT, BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND I THINK I SUBMITTED A QUESTION OF WHY IT GOT TAKEN AWAY, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT.

SO WE SHIFTED SOME THINGS AROUND.

IMPACT WANTED TO TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY, SO WE STAFFED THEM WITH AN ADDITIONAL IN-HOUSE PERSON.

IS THAT OUR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PERSON? YEAH, IT WAS MISS GERRARD AND THE REASON WHY WE DID THAT, THE REASON WHY WE DID IT IN-HOUSE WAS BECAUSE GYMS AND SCHOOLS, THEY WERE WANTING SOMEBODY TO BE THERE TO HELP DO INTAKES WITH THE PARENTS AND KIND OF SOME OTHER THINGS THAT COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS DOESN'T SPECIALIZE IN.

SO IT'S GOING TO GIVE IMPACT A LITTLE BIT MORE PERSONALIZED APPROACH FOR THE ENTIRE CAMPUS RATHER THAN JUST THE CASELOAD.

HOWEVER, I THINK AFTER GOING TO THAT MODEL, THEY SOON REALIZED CIS WAS PRETTY VALUABLE AND THAT IT ENDED UP LEAVING A FEW GAPS THERE THAT THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR.

SO HOW ARE WE DOING BOTH.

THANKS. SO WE STILL HAVE OUR.

SO WE'RE GOING IN WITH CIS AGAIN AND THEN WE'LL SEND PEOPLE.

WELL THEY HAVE A COUNSELOR THERE.

SO DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE AND THEN WE'LL STILL SUPPLEMENT WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH THINGS THERE AS WELL.

SO OKAY PERFECT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING UP.

THE NEXT ITEM THAT WAS PULLED WAS ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

SO DOCTOR DAWSON IS COMING UP TO THE MIC TO THE LECTERN.

MISS RUNKLE. HELLO, DOCTOR DAWSON, HOW ARE YOU? I'M VERY WELL. HOW ARE YOU? THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE RECOMMENDATION SHEET.

IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO FOLLOW ALONG SOME OF THE CHANGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF TOUCH ON YOU ADDED INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS TO THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT.

CORRECT? CORRECT. I WANTED JUST TO KIND OF COMMEND YOU FOR THIS AND TELL YOU HOW GREAT IT IS TO SEE THIS.

ONE OF AND I KNOW THAT YOU AND I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS AS WE DEAL WITH DISCIPLINE ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

[00:10:04]

SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'VE PUT THIS IN THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IN THE PROCESS THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BEFORE THERE'S ANY TYPE OF DISCIPLINE THAT IS GIVEN TO THE STUDENT.

SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT IN THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT I APPRECIATE THAT.

YES, MA'AM. I ALSO JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT PREVENTS US FROM DOING THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL? I WOULD LOVE TO SAY YES.

HOWEVER, WE WAIT FOR TASB TO SEE IF THEY SEND OUT ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON THEIR CHANGES AND SO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM, WHICH USUALLY COMES OUT IN END OF JUNE EARLY JULY AND SO THAT'S WHAT HOLDS US UP.

A LOT OF TIMES. OKAY, SO TASB IS TYPICAL IN NOT GETTING US SOME OF THOSE CHANGES UNTIL RIGHT WHEN SCHOOL STARTS.

SO IF WE CAN JUST I KNOW THAT IS SOMETIMES IT IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, BUT IF AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE THEY GIVE US THAT AND WE CAN GO, IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD.

WE COULD APPROVE THIS BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS IT STATES IN HERE THAT WE HAVE CAMPUS BEHAVIOR COORDINATORS AND HAVE ALL OF THOSE CAMPUS BEHAVIOR COORDINATORS BEEN ESTABLISHED AT EACH CAMPUS? YES, MA'AM. OKAY AND THEN IT ALSO SAYS ON HERE THAT MAY I FINISH ANSWERING THAT? OF COURSE, THE LIST OF OUR ACTUAL CAMPUS BEHAVIOR COORDINATORS ARE ALIGNED TO ONE OF THE ASSIGNED ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, AND SO THAT CONSOLIDATED LIST WILL BE SHARED SOON ON HOPEFULLY OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE.

OKAY, PERFECT AND THEN I ALSO NOTICED IN HERE THAT AT EVERY CAMPUS, IT'S REQUIRED TO POST THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND HAVE WE VERIFIED THAT THAT IS POSTED AT EVERY CAMPUS AND IF SO, WHERE IS IT POSTED? I KNOW IT'S POSTED ON OUR SCHOOL WEBSITE.

I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT'S POSTED.

I CAN DOUBLE VERIFY AND SEE WHERE YOU'RE AT WITH THAT.

OKAY, IF YOU'LL CAPTURE THAT MISS PETREA IT SHOULD BE POSTED AT EACH SCHOOL CAMPUS.

OKAY. OR AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AT THE CAMPUS PRINCIPALS OFFICE.

RIGHT. OKAY AND THEN LAST THING YOU SAY IN HERE FOR SEARCHES AND INTERVIEWS, IT SAYS THE PRINCIPAL OR DESIGNEE.

WHO WOULD THE DESIGNEE BE? ONE OR THE OTHER ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS.

IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE AN OFFICE STAFF OR A TEACHER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WHEN YOU SAY DESIGNEE, IT SCARES ME BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY ADMINISTRATOR, RIGHT? NO, IT SHOULD NOT BE OTHER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS TRAINED IN THE PROCESS AND TYPICALLY THERE'S ONLY ONE CAMPUS BEHAVIOR COORDINATOR, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND MANY OF OUR CAMPUSES HAVE MULTIPLE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND THAT'S WHY IT HAS IT THAT WAY.

OKAY AND THEN THE ONLY THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT ANY TIME THAT WE ARE GIVING DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS TO STUDENTS, IT DOES STATE IN HERE THAT WE WILL NOTIFY THE PARENTS IN WRITING.

BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SPECIFY WHEN.

I JUST WOULD HOPE THAT WOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN AND I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF THAT HAPPENS, BECAUSE IT'S TYPICALLY EITHER THE SAME DAY OR VERY SHORTLY AFTER, BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT IS A STUDENT GETTING HOME AND TALKING ABOUT A DISCIPLINE INFRACTION BEFORE WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCLUDE THE PARENT IN THE PROCESS.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THIS AGAIN.

YOU'VE TAKEN A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP OVER THE YEAR.

WELL, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND INCORPORATED IT INTO THE STUDENT HANDBOOK.

SO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND JUST KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE CAMPUSES AND FINDING WAYS TO BE PROACTIVE IN SOME OF OUR APPROACHES.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, MR. FLORES. THANK YOU, DOCTOR DAWSON.

THANK YOU ALSO FOR PROVIDING THIS ADDING THIS INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS TO THE DESCRIPTIONS.

MY QUESTION WAS ON THE FIRST POINT.

IT SAYS THE STUDENT WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN OR DICTATED STATEMENT ON THE APPROPRIATE INCIDENT REPORT.

MY QUESTION IS, ARE WE MAKING SURE ABSOLUTELY, THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THEY ARE AFFORDED AN EXPLANATION IN WRITING? AND SECOND OF ALL, ARE WE PROVIDING THIS TO OUR SPANISH SPEAKERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE SOMEBODY THERE TO ADEQUATELY INTERPRET YOU KNOW, THE, THE RIGHTS THAT THEY DO HAVE TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN STATEMENT AND ARE THESE ARE THEIR DOCUMENTS PROVIDED IN SPANISH AS WELL, SO THEY CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY PROVIDE A WRITTEN STATEMENT. SO THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND HANDBOOK ARE BOTH IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, AND THAT'S WHERE THAT IS.

CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS ARE COACHED AND SUPPORTED THROUGH THE PROCESS OF UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S BETTER TO GIVE A STUDENT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE WE HAVE AN ADULT QUESTIONING THEM AND POTENTIALLY INFLUENCE THEIR PERCEPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED.

SO TO MY UNDERSTANDING, EVERY STUDENT WHO HAS A NEED FOR LANGUAGE SUPPORT RECEIVES THAT LANGUAGE SUPPORT.

[00:15:07]

YES, SIR AND I APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING THAT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OUR KIDS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS AND TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

THANK YOU SIR. ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR DAWSON AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAD ONE MORE THAT WAS PULLED.

[I.8. Consideration and possible approval of Property, Liability, Automotive and Workers Compensation Insurance - TASB Risk Management (Part 1 of 2)]

ALL RIGHT, MR. SERVANTS. YES.

THANK YOU AND I'M ASKING THIS BECAUSE WHEN GETTING READY FOR THE MEETING OVER THE WEEKEND, I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT LAST WEEK, BUT I JUST.

I READ THIS ALL AGAIN, AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO I NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION.

SO WE PASSED OUR BUDGET IN JULY, AND THIS PROCUREMENT IS COMING TO US NOW, AND IT'S $700,000 HIGHER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR. SO WHEN WE APPROVED OUR BUDGET IN JULY, DID THIS BUDGET APPROVAL FOR TWO, WAS IT 2.6 MILLION? DID WE KNOW THAT IN JULY THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE 2.6 MILLION, BUT THE PROCUREMENTS JUST COMING THIS MONTH, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE CYCLE OF WHEN THE BILLS DO KNOW THE RENEWAL PERIOD ON THE INSURANCE IS SEPTEMBER THROUGH AUGUST.

SO WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WAS.

I ANTICIPATED AN INCREASE.

SO I DID BUILD IN AN INCREASE INTO THE BUDGET FOR THAT LINE ITEM, ALBEIT WAS NOT THIS AMOUNT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND SEE IF WE CAN FIND EXCESS IN THE BUDGET TO COVER IT.

SO ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT THEN TO NECESSARILY? THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. WE WOULD MONITOR IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN FIND SAVINGS IN SOME OTHER AREAS THAT WOULD COVER, LIKE I SAID, WE DID BUILD AN INCREASE, ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T AS MUCH AS WE FOUND OUT IT WAS GOING TO BE IN HERE IN AUGUST.

SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WHAT YOUR BUDGET, WHAT YOU BUDGETED FOR? I THINK I'M ABOUT 400,000 SHORT, MAYBE 375.

SO THEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THAT UP SOMEHOW MOVING MOVING STUFF AROUND.

OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THAT.

NOT RIGHT NOW, NO.

OKAY. THAT'S THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD TO KNOW AT THE BEGINNING, JUST SO WE COULD WRAP OUR HEAD AROUND, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE GOING FORWARD, THESE PROCUREMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE TAG THEM AS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BUDGET OPERATING FUND.

WE'VE APPROVED A BUDGET IN JULY, BUT THEN IT'S HIGHER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR.

SO I'M PROBABLY GOING TO ASK EVERY TIME IF IT'S HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR WHEN WE APPROVED THE BUDGET IN JULY, DID WE APPROVE IT FOR THIS AMOUNT OR THAT AMOUNT? AND SO WHEN THE BUDGET WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED IN JUNE AT THE BOARD MEETING IN JUNE, AND SO WE HAD EVERYTHING PREPARED EARLY JUNE, WE DIDN'T EVEN GET OUR RENEWALS UNTIL 1ST OF JULY.

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

IT WAS IN JUNE. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I JUST WANT TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

SO IF WE APPROVE A BUDGET AND THEN NOW WE'RE ASKING TO SIGN OFF ON A BUDGET FISCAL IMPACT THAT'S HIGHER THAN WHAT WE APPROVED.

I JUST WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION ON HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MAINTAIN THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE YEAR.

HOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

IS THERE LIKE A RUNNING SPREADSHEET THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO US ON A MONTHLY BASIS THAT SHOWS HOW WE'RE TRACKING? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE APPROVED A BUDGET.

WE'RE PRETTY IMPORTANT THAT WE STICK TO THAT BUDGET AND IF IT'S GOING TO BE OVER LIKE THIS, IT'D BE NICE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TO KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE GOING FORWARD.

SO OKAY, THAT'S ALL I HAD.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MISS OROSCO? LET ME APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I MISSPOKE, AND I TOLD HIM JULY.

SO THAT WAS MY FAULT. THAT WAS ON ME.

I WILL BE ABSTAINING FROM THIS ITEM SINCE TASB IS MY EMPLOYER.

SO WE NEED TO VOTE ON THIS ITEM SEPARATELY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, MR. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO LET ME DO SOME QUICK WORKING HERE.

SURE. I MOVE TO APPROVE ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FROM I

[I. CONSENT AGENDA (Part 2 of 2)]

SECOND. IT WAS MOVED BY.

MOVED BY MS. PETREA.

SECONDED BY MISS RUNKLE.

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

[00:20:04]

[I.8. Consideration and possible approval of Property, Liability, Automotive and Workers Compensation Insurance - TASB Risk Management (Part 2 of 2)]

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AND OPPOSED? AND ONE ABSTENTION, OKAY.

ONE ABSTENTION WAS MRS. OROSCO BECAUSE THAT'S HER EMPLOYER.

SO MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO WITH ONE ABSTENTION.

ALL RIGHT TEAM, WE'RE NOW GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR ACTION ITEMS.

[J.1. Consideration and possible action, if any, resulting from closed session]

SO ITEM J ONE CONSIDERATION AND NO WE HAVE TO READ THAT ONE.

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION IF ANY FROM RESULTING FROM A CLOSED SESSION.

IT'S THE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY.

THIS IS ON PAGE 99.

SO TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF LAND OF FUTURE SCHOOL SITES, AS DISCUSSED.

THIS IS FROM LAST WEEK.

OKAY. SO I JUST MADE A MOTION OR THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS OKAY.

SO MOVED BY MISS RUNKLE.

ANY? MOVED BY MISS RUNKLE.

WELL, I HAVE A SECOND.

EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY.

I'M VERY CONFUSED HERE.

YOU MADE THE SUGGESTED MOTION.

WHO MOVED IT? MISS RUNKLE HAS MOVED THE SUGGESTED MOTION.

WE NEED A SECOND.

CORRECT. WE NEED A SECOND.

SO I WILL SECOND IT.

SECONDED BY MISS OROSCO.

OKAY. NOW FURTHER DISCUSSION.

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE, MR. SEIBEL? RIGHT.

YES. SO WITHOUT DISCUSSING PROPERTY VALUES OR ANYTHING, I JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR THE RECORD THAT, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE OUR EFFORTS AND EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR DISTRICT, BUT MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE FINDING THE BEST VALUE PROPERTIES AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE FUTURE OF OUR DISTRICT AND SO, JUST FOR THE RECORD, THAT WE'RE DOING AS MUCH DILIGENCE AS WE CAN.

MR. CLEAVER. RIGHT.

AND HAVING OUR BROKERS DO ALL THAT WE CAN.

YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. CLEAVER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE LEFT? COME ON OVER TO MY RIGHT. MISS PETREA.

OKAY, I WE HAD A CONVERSATION IN CLOSED SESSION.

OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAD A RECAP TODAY IN CLOSED SESSION OF.

I DIDN'T REALIZE WE WERE VOTING ON WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK.

SO JUST FOR FUTURE, I MIGHT JUST SUGGEST WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT AS AN AGENDA ITEM, JUST SO THAT WE KNOW WE'RE COMING OUT TO VOTE ON SOMETHING BECAUSE WHILE WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WE CAME TO.

A FOR SURE AGREEMENT AND SO THIS FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME.

I DO FEEL LIKE WE GAVE REALLY STRONG GUIDANCE.

SO I'M GOING TO TRUST THAT THE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE ARE MADE WITHIN THE GUIDANCE THAT WE GAVE.

BUT THIS DOES FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MISS PETREA.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TO MY RIGHT.

MR. CLEAVER, MAY I GET YOU TO THE LECTERN, PLEASE, SIR? GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, SIR.

SO, MR. CLEAVER I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM.

I MEAN, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

WE'LL VOTE HERE IN A MINUTE. I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME QUESTIONS, SO WITHOUT GIVING PROPRIETARY OR WHAT OUR JUST.

CAN YOU GIVE US A VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT NEXT STEPS WOULD BE IF, AFTER TAKING ACTION ON THIS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL RESET HERE ON THE BOARD? YES, SIR. I THINK IN ITEM D, IT KIND OF GOES OVER IT SAYS UPON FAVORABLE DUE DILIGENCE FINDINGS AND SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE.

SO WE'LL NEED TO DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT PHASE ONE AND THEN THE ANTIQUITIES SEARCH WITH THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION PROBABLY DO SOME LIMITED GEOTECH, JUST SO WE KNOW GOING FORWARD WHAT KIND OF FOUNDATIONS WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT IN THERE IF WE WERE TO DO THAT AND THEN JUST GO AHEAD AND DO THE TITLE SEARCH TO VERIFY.

THERE'S NO EARLY NO'S, JUST STARING US RIGHT IN THE FACE THAT WE DON'T SEE, SO THAT IF WE DID HAVE TO CHOOSE ANOTHER TRACT, WE'D HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO DO THAT.

[00:25:02]

PERFECT. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DO A RECAP TO TO AGAIN MAKE OUR TEAM MORE COMFORTABLE.

YOU'VE HEARD SOME OPINIONS AND SO OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

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

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CLEAVER.

ALL RIGHT. ACTION ITEM J2 ON PAGE 100.

[J.2. Consideration and possible approval of a Legal Services Agreement to join Litigation regarding A-F Accountability System]

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE AN AGREEMENT TO JOIN LITIGATION REGARDING THE 2023-2024 A THROUGH F ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MISS OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MISS PETREA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COME ON OVER TO MY RIGHT, MISS PETREA.

SO I AM ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS, BUT I WANT TO SEND A VERY CLEAR AND STRONG MESSAGE.

ABOUT WHAT THIS LAWSUIT MEANS.

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT, THAT THE STATE HAS MOVED THE GOALPOSTS ON HOW THEY SCORE OUR DATA, AND DOCTOR WRIGHT SHOWED US A REALLY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF HOW NEVER, IN THE HISTORY OF THE STAAR TEST ON THE SECOND YEAR DO PEOPLE GO DOWN STATEWIDE.

SO IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED AT THE STATE LEVEL WITH OUR DATA, NOT JUST US, BUT ACROSS THE STATE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

THIS IS I AM EAGER TO GET RATINGS.

I AM ANGRY THAT COVID PUT THE WHOLE RATING THING, YOU KNOW, IN INTO CHAOS BECAUSE WE WERE ON TRACK FOR IT TO BE AN A DISTRICT AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT JOINING THIS LAWSUIT TO SKIRT OUR ACCOUNTABILITY.

WE EMBRACE ACCOUNTABILITY.

WE'RE ALL ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND PUBLIC EDUCATION.

THIS IS ABOUT, I THINK, CLEARLY THERE'S A NARRATIVE AT THE STATE THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE PUBLIC SCHOOLS LOOK BAD IN THIS.

THIS IS WORKING OUT FOR THEM AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT IS DONE RIGHT AND FAIR AND SOMEONE LOOKS INTO, YOU KNOW, WHY THE DATA WAS SO SKEWED THIS YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL MAKE AMENDS OR WE'LL MAKE CHANGES TO WHATEVER THAT IS.

BUT I SUSPECT THAT WE WERE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, AND SOMETHING WENT AMISS AT THE STATE LEVEL, THE WAY THEY WERE SCORING THE DATA.

BUT THAT'S JUST A SUSPICION.

THIS LAWSUIT, THE GOAL OF IT IS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT AND I HOPE THAT THEY DO.

THAT WAS. THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU, MISS PETREA. ANYBODY ELSE ON THE RIGHT? ANYBODY TO MY LEFT, MISS OROSCO.

I AM PROUD THAT OUR DISTRICT IS JOINING WITH OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE IN THIS LAWSUIT.

WE WERE PART OF THE FIRST LAWSUIT, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE TO WORK TOWARD SOME JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES INTO THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

DOCTOR WRIGHT, CAN YOU GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW FOR FOLKS THAT ARE LISTENING? I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT LENGTH LAST WEEK, BUT IF YOU CAN GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT IT MEANS, AND YOU DID SHARE SOME OF THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE PART OF IT ALREADY. IF YOU CAN SHARE SOME INFORMATION, THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND I 100% SUPPORT IT OF COURSE.

SO ACTUALLY THERE WAS A HEARING TODAY AND BASICALLY THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE ANOTHER HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 16TH AND SO THAT'S THE LATEST AND THE GREATEST AND I THINK THERE ARE 39 TOTAL DISTRICTS AND ABOUT 40 MORE THAT ARE IN QUEUE TO JOIN.

AND BASICALLY WHAT THE ATTORNEYS ARE SAYING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE MISS PETREA MENTIONED, NEVER BEFORE IN THE SECOND YEAR OF A NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM HAVE STATE SCORES DIPPED ACROSS THE STATE.

SO SOMETHING IS AWRY, WHETHER IT'S THE SCORING OR WHETHER IT IS JUST THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TEST, QUESTIONS THAT DON'T CORRELATE WITH OUR TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN THIS DISTRICT, WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, WE ALWAYS TRY TO EMPLOY BACKWARDS DESIGN WHERE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TEACH, AND THEN WE PLAN OUR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AROUND THAT AND WE DID SO THINKING WE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO BE ASSESSED AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BEEN THE CASE AND SO HOPEFULLY A INDEPENDENT

[00:30:04]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DOCTOR WRIGHT.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND.

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

[J.3. Consideration and possible action to enter into a collection contract with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP to collect delinquent property taxes pursuant to TX Tax Code Sections 6.30, 33.07, 33.08, 33.11, and 33.48]

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP TO COLLECT DELINQUENT PROPERTY TAXES PURSUANT TO TEXAS TAX CODE SECTIONS 6.30, 33.07, 33.08, 33.11 AND 33.48 AS PRESENTED.

SECOND BY MR. SEVERANCE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

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

[J.6. Consideration and possible adoption of the 2024-2025 Tax Rate]

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE 2024-2025 TAX RATE.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD.

I NEED TO READ THE RESOLUTION FIRST.

THANK YOU. HOLD THAT SUGGESTED MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. HERE IS THE RESOLUTION.

IT SAYS ON THIS DATE, WE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE HAYS CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND A DULY CALLED MEETING HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING OPEN MEETING LAWS, HEREBY SET THE TAX RATE ON $100 VALUATION FOR THE DISTRICT FOR THE TAX YEAR 2024 AT A TOTAL TAX RATE OF $1.1546. $1.1546.

TO BE ASSESSED AND COLLECTED BY THE HAYS COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR AS FOLLOWS.

$0.6669 FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTENANCE AND PETITIONS.

EXCUSE ME. OPERATIONS M&O AND $0.4877 FOR THE PURPOSE.

FOR PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF INTEREST ON DEBTS AND $1.1546 EQUALS A COMBINED TOTAL TAX RATE.

THE TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE.

THE TAX WILL EFFECTIVELY, EXCUSE ME, BE RAISED BY 0.35660% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $2.37 ANNUALLY.

[00:35:08]

IT WAS A MOUTHFUL. OKAY, TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE 2024 2025 TAX RATE AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MISS PETRIE, SECOND BY MISS OROSCO.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MISS OROSCO? YES. MR. RAUL, IF YOU CAN COME GIVE AN OVERVIEW.

I KNOW WE DISCUSSED IT LAST WEEK, BUT TAX RATE IS SO IMPORTANT.

IT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN OBLIGATIONS AS A TRUSTEE.

SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE REVIEW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ADOPTING THIS TAX RATE.

SO THIS TAX RATE ON THE M&O SIDE IS ROUGHLY 2/10 OF A PENNY LESS THAN LAST YEAR.

[INAUDIBLE] STAYED THE SAME.

THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON FOR THE DEFEASANCE.

ABLE TO PAY OFF SOME OF OUR DEBT.

BUT OVER THE PAST.

LET ME GET MY NOTES.

OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DECREASE OUR OVERALL OVERALL RATE BY 38, A LITTLE OVER $0.38 PER. THIS IS A ANOTHER YEAR, ALBEIT THIS IS THE LOWEST DECREASE WE'VE HAD, BUT IT'S STILL A DECREASE.

THANK YOU, MR. RAUL.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE ARTICULATE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS TAX RATE AND WHAT IT MEANS.

THE RESOLUTION IS VERY MISLEADING THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT.

SO I JUST WANT TO CALL ATTENTION TO WHAT WE HAVE DONE AS A BOARD.

WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SURE TO DECREASE THAT TAX RATE.

SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

IT'S THAT'S $0.38 THAT IT HAS GONE DOWN.

CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

THANK YOU, MR. RAUL. MR. SEIBEL. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE OROSCO FOR STATING THAT.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S THIS IS AGAIN, AS YOU STATED, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE DO AND I THINK REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS OUR ONE BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO TRY TO WRAP THEIR ARMS AROUND THIS WHOLE CONCEPT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS MULTIPLYING A NUMBER TIMES YOUR PROPERTY VALUE, AND THAT'S OUR TOTAL REVENUE.

IT'S A LOT MORE COMPLICATED AS TO HOW WE SET OUR RATE COMPARED TO WHAT THE STATE.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, WE COULDN'T JUST ADOPT A RATE.

LET'S SAY WE WANTED TO GIVE EVERYBODY HUGE TAX BREAK AND JUST SAY WE'RE ONLY INSTEAD OF 1.1546, WE'RE JUST GOING TO SET IT AT 0.5 FOR THE YEAR JUST BECAUSE WE WANT TO CUT EVERYBODY'S TAXES.

WHY COULDN'T WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THERE IS A MAX TAX EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE PER STATE LAW.

SO PART OF THE CALCULATION OF THE TAX RATE IS NOW REALLY IN THE HANDS OF T.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT DECISIONS THAT THE BOARD MAKES.

THE BOARD HAS KIND OF TAKEN OUT OF SOME OF SETTING THE TAX RATE WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.

THE VERBIAGE THAT'S IN THE RESOLUTION IS SOMETHING THAT IS ALSO MANDATED BY THE STATE, WHICH CAN BE VERY MISLEADING.

IN, I GUESS, THE STATE'S ATTEMPT TO TRY TO SIMPLIFY IT AND MAKE EVERYTHING TRANSPARENT.

THEY'VE KIND OF MUDDIED UP THE WATER AND MADE IT VERY MISLEADING.

IN ESSENCE, OUR PROPERTY VALUES HAVE INCREASED, SO A LESSER TAX RATE MULTIPLIED BY HIGHER VALUES DOES GENERATE MORE LOCAL TAX REVENUE.

BUT WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE STATE IS NOT KICKING IN AS MUCH AS THEY DID THE PRIOR YEAR AS WELL.

SO EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING UP, OUR OVERALL STATE AMOUNT IS NOT.

IT'S JUST A HAS AN INVERSE RELATIONSHIP WITH STATE FUNDING.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT WE HAVE ALTHOUGH THIS IS INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY CRITICAL TO WHAT WE DO.

WE HAVE A LOT LESS CONTROL NOW OVER ACTUALLY SETTING THE ACTUAL RATE THAN MAYBE SOME MAY THINK AND SO THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT TEAM WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

THAT TAKES US TO ITEM J 7 ON PAGE 119.

[J.7. Consideration and possible approval of an agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (Netting Chapter 48 Funding)]

CREDIT NETTING.

CHAPTER 48 FUNDING.

[00:40:02]

CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE AN AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT NETTING CHAPTER 48 FUNDING OPTION THREE AGREEMENT AND TO DELEGATE CONTRACTUAL AUTHORITY TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AS PRESENTED.

BY MR. FLORES. YOU'LL NEED TO READ THE WHOLE STATEMENT THERE AS PART.

LET ME READ THE ENTIRE STATEMENT THERE.

OKAY. FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, WE DELEGATE CONTRACTUAL AUTHORITY TO OBLIGATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT UNDER TEXAS EDUCATION CODE TEC 11.5115 1C4 TO THE SUPERINTENDENT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBLIGATING THE DISTRICT UNDER TEC.

48.257 AND TECH CHAPTER 49, SUBCHAPTERS A AND D, AND THE RULES ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION AS AUTHORIZED UNDER TECH.

49.006. THIS INCLUDED APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT OR THE AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT NETTING.

CHAPTER 48 FUNDING.

THERE WAS A SUGGESTED MOTION THAT WAS MOVED BY MR. FLORES. SECOND BY MISS OROSCO.

OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? LOOKING TO MY LEFT, MISS OROSCO.

YES. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE YOU GAVE GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT LAST WEEK, MR. RAUL. CAN YOU RECAP THAT AND GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS? YES. SO ESSENTIALLY, WHEN TEA NOTIFIES DISTRICTS IN EARLY JULY TAX RATES HAVE NOT BEEN SET.

SO EVEN THOUGH THE BOARD HAS VERY LIMITED AUTHORITY AND WHAT THE RATE CAN BE AS IT IS NOW CALCULATED BY TEA, AND TEA DOES NOT KNOW IF THE DISTRICT HAS HAD WHAT IS CALLED A [INAUDIBLE] OR A VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE.

WE COULD, WITH VOTER APPROVAL, INCREASE OUR TAX RATE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL $0.17.

I BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT WOULD CAUSE US TO HAVE TO SPEND MORE OR HAVE TO SEND MONEY BACK TO THE STATE BECAUSE OUR TIER TWO PORTION OF OUR STATE FUNDING, WHICH IS GOVERNED BY THE AUSTIN YIELD, ARE TIER TWO IS HIGHER THAN WHAT THE STATE SAYS WE COULD HAVE.

SO ANY PENNY WE RAISE OVER THE CALCULATED TIER RATE, IF WE WERE TO HAVE A VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE ELECTION, WE WOULD NOT BE KEEPING DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.

WE WOULD MAYBE BE SENDING $0.40 BACK TO THE STATE.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT OWING HAVING TO OWE ANYTHING ON THIS, WE STILL HAVE TO BY LAW GO THROUGH THIS, THESE MOTIONS TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION BACK TO THANK YOU, MR. RAUL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. LOOKING TO MY RIGHT.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND.

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

ALRIGHT. TEAM ITEM J 8 CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE GRANT OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE UTILITY EASEMENT TO COUNTY LINE SPECIAL

SO MAYBE 3 TO $500 AND SAME QUESTION AS WHEN WE DID THE BUDGET IN JUNE.

THANK YOU, MS. OROSCO. THEN DID WE WAS THIS ITEM AN ACTIVE ITEM THAT YOU WERE PLANNING ON THAT WAS GOING TO COME TO US THIS YEAR?

[00:45:01]

OKAY. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO I MEAN, EVEN IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, RANDY, I THINK HE PUTS SOME ESTIMATES THERE.

I'D PROBABLY LIKE TO SEE THE ACTUAL NUMBER AND THESE TRANSMITTALS.

JUST SO WE KNOW, WE'RE MOVING ON FROM THE BUDGET SO I CAN KNOW.

WE CAN KNOW IF IT'S EITHER IN WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT WE APPROVED OR IF IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE.

BUT A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I JUST THINK I'D LIKE TO LIKE TO SEE THAT GOING FORWARD.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

[J.10. Review and possible adoption of the Vision Statement for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees]

WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THESE THIS PAST FRIDAY IN OUR TEAM BUILDING AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME DOCUMENTS THERE IN YOUR DIAS FOLDER.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE NEXT ONE? OKAY. SO TEAM, I KNOW THAT WE AGAIN, WE DID NOT FULLY FLESH OUT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE OR WHAT OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS.

EXCUSE ME. WHAT OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS.

SO I WILL LOOK LEFT AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION.

MR. SEVERANCE.

THANK YOU, MR. VELA. SO AS WE MOVE INTO THESE NEXT FEW ITEMS, I JUST WANT TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION.

ARE WE GOING BACK TO NOW FINISH WHAT WE DIDN'T COMPLETE LAST FRIDAY WITH THE DISCUSSION OF THESE THE MISSION, THE VISION, OUR GOALS, EVERYTHING.

IS THIS NOW A CONTINUATION OF THAT MEETING? YES, SIR. WE'LL DISCUSS THEM.

WE CAN POSSIBLY TAKE ACTION IF WE'RE ALL COMFORTABLE.

BUT IF NOT, I MEAN, AGAIN, WE'RE JUST FIRMING UP EACH ONE OF THOSE, AS YOU MENTIONED, TEAM, JUST SO WE ALL KNOW, ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE BOARD, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOCIAL CONTRACT AND THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES WE HAD TALKED ABOUT ON FRIDAY THAT WE WOULD PUSH THAT INTO SEPTEMBER OR EVEN POSSIBLY I'M CONSIDERING A SUBCOMMITTEE SINCE WE DID A REFRESH OF THAT HERE RECENTLY.

SO WE WILL NOT BE GETTING TO THOSE TONIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON OUR, AGAIN, THE VISION, THE MISSION AND THE BELIEFS TONIGHT.

SO WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT VISION AS AS PRESENTED IF WE'RE VOTING AS PRESENTED, WHAT IS THE PRESENTED VISION STATEMENT.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF RED LINES.

SO LIKE IS IT WE ADDING 100% EXCELLENCE, 100% HAYS AND IT SAYS TIM.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VISION.

THAT'S OKAY.

[INAUDIBLE]. OKAY.

THAT WAS JUST TO HELP ME OUT TO PRESENT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

OKAY. GOOD. YEP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. NOPE. ANYBODY ELSE ON MY LEFT? ANYBODY ELSE ON MY RIGHT? OKAY. SO TEAM I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND READ THIS AND WE CAN WE NOT.

WE CAN'T SEE THIS OVER OVERHEAD.

CAN WE NOT, MISS GLORIA? OKAY, LET ME GO. I'M GOING TO READ WHAT WE CAME UP WITH.

WHILE MISS PETREA MAY BE ABLE TO PULL THAT UP, THIS IS POSSIBLY OUR NEW VISION STATEMENT.

IT SAYS ALL HAYS CISD LEARNERS WILL BE BULLET POINT NUMBER ONE.

IT SAYS WELL PREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREER OR MILITARY.

RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS AND COLLABORATORS.

RESOURCEFUL AND CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS.

[00:50:11]

IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS ON THIS LOOK IN MY LOOKING TO MY LEFT.

OKAY. SO TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADAPT THE REVISED VISION STATEMENT AS DISCUSSED.

WE'RE HOLDING ON.

WELL, WE HAVE A QUESTION.

OKAY. GO AHEAD, MISS PETREA.

WILL BE A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN.

I DON'T BELIEVE ANYBODY'S GOING TO HAVE ANY HEARTBURN WITH YOU PUTTING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.

OKAY.

SO AGAIN WE HAVE A SUGGESTED MOTION.

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.

THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE REVISED VISION STATEMENT, AS DISCUSSED BY MR. FLORES, SECONDED BY MISS RUNKLE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MR. SEIBLE, JUST A QUICK THING.

I MEAN, WORDS NOT TELLING US.

SO IT'S PROBABLY RIGHT AS IS, BUT WELL PREPARED.

SHOULD THAT BE HYPHENATED? I'M A MATH GUY, SO GRAMMAR IS NOT MY THING, SO I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

NO. OKAY.

NO. WE'RE GREAT.

ADJECTIVE DESCRIBING.

OKAY. THANKS.

OKAY, GOOD. BUT GREAT QUESTION.

MR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TO MY LEFT. QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT.

TEAM. WE HAVE A MOTION.

AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE HAVE A NEW VISION STATEMENT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.

THAT IS GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

WE SHOULD READ IT ONE MORE TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS IS WHAT WE READ AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING.

ALL HAYS CISD LEARNERS WILL BE WELL PREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, MILITARY, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS AND COLLABORATORS, RESOURCEFUL AND CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS.

ALL RIGHT, WE GOT THAT.

ALL RIGHT. WE CAN'T READ IT.

OUR NEXT MEETING. OH, WE DON'T READ IT.

I'M SORRY. I'M THINKING I'M LIKE MR. SEVERANCE. A MINUTE AGO, WHEN HE THOUGHT WE WERE ON MISSION.

SO IT'S CONTAGIOUS.

ALL RIGHT, NOW WE ARE ON THE MISSION STATEMENT.

[J.11. Review and possible adoption of the Mission Statement for the Hays CISD Board of Trustees]

OKAY, SO, TEAM THE AGAIN, OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND I KNOW THAT MR. SAVOY HAD AN EPIPHANY MOMENT OVER THIS WEEKEND AND WANTS TO SHARE WITH US SOMETHING.

SO REMEMBER LATE FRIDAY WHEN Y'ALL SAID, HEY, WOULDN'T IT BE FUN OVER THE WEEKEND IF YOU WROTE A MISSION STATEMENT? I DO REMEMBER THAT, YES.

WELL, I WROTE IT ON MY WAY HOME IN MY HEAD, SO IT MAY HAVE SOUNDED BETTER FRIDAY.

TIM, LET ME INTERJECT.

SO MY MOM JUST HAD SURGERY, SO I'M TAKING HER DINNER FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER WE FINISH, AND HE CALLS ME ON THE WAY AND HE GOES, HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? AND IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE ADJOURNED OUR MEETING AND WE'RE DRIVING HOME, HE CALLS ME AND IT'S BRILLIANT.

I THINK Y'ALL ARE GOING TO LOVE IT.

SO I WORKED ALL WEEKEND LIKE LONG HOURS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

OKAY. WELL PLEASE INDULGE US WITH.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

SO YOU DID YOUR VISION STATEMENT WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO.

THE MISSION STATEMENT IS, WHERE WE WHERE WHAT DO WE DO NOW? WHAT ARE WE ABOUT? AND SO I STARTED LET'S SEE LET ME MAKE SURE THIS ISN'T ON.

NO. NOT YET.

THE MUSIC DOESN'T COME UNTIL LATER.

OH, WAIT, THE LITTLE CLICKER THING AND SHOW ME.

IT'S ON.

WAIT [INAUDIBLE].

ALL RIGHT, WHAT WE DO? WELL, I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.

WE'RE IN THE KNOWLEDGE BUSINESS.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE DO KNOWLEDGE, AND WE KNOW THAT KNOWLEDGE.

WELL, WE KNOW THAT KNOWLEDGE IS TRANSFERRED VIA WI-FI SIGNAL TO THE RECEIVER OF THE CLICKER WHEN YOU PRESS A BUTTON.

ALL RIGHT. WAIT.

OH, THERE WE GO. WE KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE, IT OFTEN LEADS TO INSPIRATION AND KIDS WHO ARE INSPIRED OFTEN DREAM

[00:55:04]

SO WE START WITH KNOWLEDGE AND OUR HOPE IS FOR OUR KIDS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO, WHO WE ARE.

WE TALKED ABOUT BEING 100% HAYS CISD.

I THINK THAT'S BEEN A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM AND I THINK IT SAYS A LOT.

SO WE DON'T WANT TO DEPART FROM THAT AS KIND OF WHAT WAS IN MY MINDSET.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, IT MEANS WE'RE 100% COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE AND SUCCESS MEANS THAT WE WANT ALL STUDENTS TO BE EXCITED, ENGAGED, INSPIRED. WE WANT ALL PARENTS TO FEEL WELCOME AND INCLUDED TEACHERS AND EMPLOYEES EMPOWERED AND WE WANT ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND TAXPAYERS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS TO BE INVOLVED AND INFORMED.

IT'S ABOUT BELONGING.

WE 100% MEANS THAT 100% OF OUR COMMUNITY, OUR STUDENTS, WE ALL BELONG IN THIS THING THAT WE DO AND NOW THE MUSIC.

I KNOW THIS IS THE NOW.

SO I LOOKED AT WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT WE'RE UP AGAINST SAFETY, POLITICS GROWTH, ALL OF THAT.

IT MAY FEEL LIKE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU EVER FEEL LIKE THAT, ERIC? YOU FEEL LIKE THAT? AMEN. BUT WE DON'T DO IMPOSSIBLE IN HAYS CISD.

BECAUSE WE'RE ALSO NOT JUST IN THE KNOWLEDGE BUSINESS.

WE'RE IN THE POSSIBILITY BUSINESS.

WE DO MISSION POSSIBLE.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE KERNEL OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT.

SO THINKING IN TERMS OF POSSIBLE, LET'S TAKE OUR OLD MISSION STATEMENT.

THE MISSION OF HAYS CISD IS TO EDUCATE, VALUE AND NURTURE STUDENTS THROUGH INNOVATIVE AND PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WHILE CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY.

ANYONE CAN MEMORIZE THAT.

KNOW THE EDUCATE THROUGH INNOVATIVE AND PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES.

THAT IS THE IT OF WHAT WE DO.

SEE THE LITTLE IT THAT CAME UP ON THE SCREEN THERE? HAYS CISD THE MISSION OF HAYS CISD.

SO WE POP THAT IN THERE.

HAYS CISD MAKES IT POSSIBLE WE DON'T JUST MAKE IT POSSIBLE THOUGH, BECAUSE WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE IN EVERY SITUATION. WE VALUE TO 100% EVERYTHING THAT WE DO, SO WE ACTUALLY MAKE IT 100% POSSIBLE.

THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS FOR.

WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE MAKE THINGS POSSIBLE FOR KIDS? AND WE'RE BASICALLY IF THIS IS YOUR MISSION STATEMENT, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SPEAK TO OUR AUDIENCE OF KIDS AND SAY, HEY, SEE, ISD MAKES IT 100% POSSIBLE.

KIDS. WELL, WHAT DO WE MAKE POSSIBLE? WE MAKE OUR KNOWLEDGE.

WE MAKE OUR INSPIRATION THAT STEMS FROM KNOWLEDGE.

WE MAKE THE DREAMS THAT COME FROM THAT INSPIRATION, AND WE ULTIMATELY LEAD TO SUCCESS.

SO THAT'S OUR LITTLE HIDDEN EASTER EGG IN THERE.

HAYS CISD MAKES IT 100% POSSIBLE.

SHOULD BE OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

THERE YOU GO. THAT TOOK ALL WEEKEND.

OH, DID WE RUN OUT OF THEM? NOW THE MUSIC AND THE PYROTECHNICS.

MR. SAVOY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE LONG HOURS THIS PAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

TEAM, WE DO NOT HAVE A MARKUP OF THIS.

SO DON'T CHANGE THE SCREEN.

YES. SO THE SUGGESTED MISSION STATEMENT IS THAT HAYS CISD MAKES IT 100% POSSIBLE AND THEN INCLUDING THE ACRONYM KIDS FOR KNOWLEDGE, INSPIRATION, DREAMS, AND SUCCESS.

WHAT A BUMPER STICKER.

THERE WE GO. SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE REVISED VISION STATEMENT AS DISCUSSED. SO MOVED.

MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO.

SECONDED BY MISS RUNKLE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, MR. FLORES? WOW.

THANK YOU. TIM.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS I'VE HAD ON THE DIAS.

JUST WATCHING. BUT AGAIN, I WANT THIS BUMPER STICKER AS SOON AS WE GET IT OUT.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

I THINK IT REALLY WILL CREATE TOTAL BUY IN FROM EVERYBODY BECAUSE OUR.

THE SUCCESS OF OUR KIDS IS A COMMUNITY EFFORT.

EVERYBODY TEACHERS, STAFF PARENTS, STAKEHOLDERS, EVERYBODY BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS.

I THINK IT'S GREAT AND I'M GLAD TO VOTE YES ON IT.

WELL, THAT'S WHY I KIND OF DID THE LITTLE DECONSTRUCTION.

I THINK IT'S STILL OUR MISSION.

I DON'T THINK OUR MISSION HAS CHANGED, BUT I THINK PUTTING IT IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN REALLY, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU'LL KNOW

[01:00:01]

IF YOU'LL NOTE, THE ASPECT RATIO IS THAT OF A BUMPER STICKER OF THE GRAPHIC THAT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT.

ALL RIGHT. WE COULD PUT THOSE STICKERS TOGETHER.

SHOULD THE BOARD GO WITH THIS? GOOD DEAL. ALRIGHT,MI SS RUNKLE.

NO, I MEAN, I THIS IS AMAZING.

YOU ALWAYS TAKE EVERYTHING AND TAKE IT UP, LIKE, TEN NOTCHES.

THANKS, TIM. THANKS FOR WORKING OVER THE WEEKEND AND CREATING SUCH MASTERPIECE THAT WE CAN ALL SHARE.

BUT I'LL TAKE A STICK.

WHAT IS IT, A MAGNET? A VEHICLE MAGNET? NOT A STICKER. JUST SAYING.

GREAT JOB. TIM. THANKS, TIM.

MISS PETREA. YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

IF ANYBODY WOULD ARGUE THAT YOU'RE NOT THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

I THINK YOU PROVED THEM ALL WRONG TODAY.

WE'VE NEEDED THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

WE'VE I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD FOR SEVEN YEARS HEARING THE SAME MISSION STATEMENT, AND I STILL COULDN'T, YOU KNOW, STILL COULDN'T RECITE IT JUST FROM MEMORY PIECES AND PART. SURE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS BEING ON OUR WEBSITE AND BEING ALL THE PLACES AND BEING SOMETHING THAT ALL OUR DEPARTMENTS CAN, CAN GET BEHIND BECAUSE, IT'S SO GREAT AND THE KIDS EASTER EGG.

BRILLIANT. PERFECT.

LOVE IT. THANK YOU.

MR. SEVERANCE.

OKAY, SO I WANTED TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE I HAD A LITTLE EDUCATION LAST FRIDAY.

LIKE WITH THE VISION STATEMENT IS HOW FUTURE MISSION STATEMENT.

WHAT PRESENT? AND THAT STUFF TALKS TO EACH OTHER AND I KNOW WE DON'T TALK ABOUT OUR VISION STATEMENT AND OUR BOARD MEETING, BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD START READING THAT TO TIE THEM BOTH TOGETHER. SO AND EXPLAIN WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS.

BUT WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS IS THAT FROM A COLLABORATION STANDPOINT, WE SPENT A LONG TIME ON FRIDAY WORKING.

TIM HAD AN EPIPHANY ON THE WAY HOME, LISTENED TO ALL THIS WAS ALL DAY, AND THEN PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND I REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS GREAT FOR ONE REASON.

ONE MAIN REASON THAT I THINK OUR KIDS CAN SEE IT 100% POSSIBLE, IF THAT'S ALL THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO CITE BACK TO US, BECAUSE IT'S 100% POSSIBLE. FOR ME, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST POWERFUL MISSION STATEMENT THAT I'VE EVER READ WHEN IT COMES TO A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH LAST WEEK BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE PREPARED.

BUT THAT TIES IT BACK TO OUR, I MEAN, OUR THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE DOING THIS FOR.

RIGHT? OUR STUDENTS.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.

SO I LOVE IT.

I'M A YES. WELL DONE AND I THINK IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT BUT MAINLY TIM ON THE WAY HOME BUT SERIOUSLY, THANKS FOR THAT AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT FOR US TO TIE BACK TO WHY WE DO WHAT WE'RE DOING EVERY DAY.

SO THANK YOU, MISS OROSCO.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH BOARDS ALL OVER THE STATE AND TELL THEM HOW GREAT WE HAVE IT HERE.

IT REALLY DOES EMBODY EVERYTHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND CONVEYS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

NOW, WHILE TIM WAS NOT HERE ALL DAY LISTENING TO US BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO HE REALLY TOOK TO HEART THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BOARD, I LOVE IT.

IT IS GREAT.

WE HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS HERE IN HAYS CISD, AND IT IS POSSIBLE FOR EVERY SINGLE STUDENT TO SUCCEED BECAUSE OF THE EDUCATION THEY GET HERE.

SO THANK YOU TIM.

CAN'T WAIT TO BRAG ABOUT IT SOME MORE TO ALL THOSE BOARDS.

YOU ARE A TRUE GENIUS, MR. SEIBEL. I MEAN, I'M JUST A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED, JUST A LITTLE BIT THAT MICHAEL JORDAN DIDN'T COME RUNNING IN AND YOU GET TO ANNOUNCE HIM.

WELL, WE WERE GOING TO GO WITH 99% POSSIBLE, BUT WE FIGURED LET'S JUST GO FOR THE WHOLE THING HERE AND WE HAD TO TRY TO THAT ONE PERCENTAGE POINT OFF FOR MICHAEL JORDAN.

YEAH 100%.

YES. AMAZING.

I LOVE EVERY BIT OF THIS AND WE CAN RESPOND WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO GOING FORWARD THAT WE ARE 100% POSSIBLE.

THERE'S NO MORE CAMPS.

IT IS 100% POSSIBLE.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

A MATTER OF WHEN? RIGHT.

WELL DONE.

ALL RIGHT. YES, MR. SAVOY. THANK YOU AND YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S A GREAT BUMPER STICKER, AND IT STICKS.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE HOMEWORK FOR THIS COMING WEEKEND.

SO DON'T GO TOO FAR.

WE HAVE A MOTION, AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

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

LET'S GO AHEAD AND READ IT ONE MORE TIME JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A NICE RING.

SO THE MISSION OF HAYS.

HAYS C-I-S-D HAYS C-I-S-D MAKES IT 100% POSSIBLE KNOWLEDGE, INSPIRATION, DREAMS, AND SUCCESS.

WE'RE DOING IT ALL FOR THE KIDS.

SO THANK YOU. WE HAVE OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT.

[01:05:03]

NO, I'M JUST KIDDING, ALL RIGHT, TEAM.

THE ITEM J12 REVIEW AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE BELIEFS OF THE HAYS C-I-S-D SAYS BOARD OF

[J.12. Review and possible adoption of the Beliefs of the Hays CISD Board of Trustees]

SO TIM, YOU HAVE OUR BELIEFS STATEMENTS, AND THERE WAS A BULLET POINT NUMBER FOUR WAS THE ONE THAT WAS GIVEN SUGGESTION, SUGGESTED EDITS.

LET ME GO AHEAD AND READ THOSE.

WE BELIEVE DECISION MAKING IS STUDENT FOCUSED.

ALL STUDENTS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LEARN AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS ESSENTIAL.

STUDENT SUCCESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND BEING AN UNRIVALED EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ORGANIZATION, THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES WILL SUPPORT HIGH QUALITY LEARNING.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL LEAD TO HIGH ACHIEVEMENT.

OPEN COMMUNICATION.

TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

BUILD TRUST.

SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING.

DIVERSE AND DIFFERENTIATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING.

STUDENT SUCCESS INCLUDES A WELL ROUNDED EDUCATION THAT GOES BEYOND STANDARDIZED TESTING.

AS A TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE REVISED EXCUSE ME, THE REVISED BELIEF STATEMENTS AS PRESENTED.

MOVED BY MRS. EVANS.

SECOND BY MISS RUNKLE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MISS OROSCO, YOU KNOW, WHEN TIM SHOWED US THOSE BULLETS EARLIER, I THINK HE HAD 4 OR 5 BULLETS.

I THINK THAT REALLY ENCOMPASSED OUR BELIEFS AND IT REALLY STREAMLINED.

INSTEAD OF THIS WHOLE LIST OF THINGS, CAN WE SEE THOSE AGAIN? MISS BARBARA? I THINK IT TOUCHED UPON EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN THESE CORE BELIEFS, WITHOUT BEING SO LENGTHY AND WORDY AND EVERYTHING.

I THINK THERE WAS JUST ONE LITTLE TWEAK I WOULD MAKE TO ONE OF THE BULLETS, BUT I JUST WANT TO BRING IT UP AND SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE BOARD THINKS.

AGAIN, WE WANT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO REMEMBER AND THAT IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEAN.

I THINK IT REALLY EMBODIED THAT INSTEAD OF JUST THESE LISTS, WE'VE HAD THESE BELIEFS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WHILE WE DO BELIEVE THEM AND IT IS IMPORTANT, THIS PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT ALL UP IN IN WHAT MR. SAVOY PUTS HERE, I WOULD CHANGE PARENTS TO FAMILIES.

WE WANT ALL FAMILIES TO FEEL WELCOME, INCLUDED AND SUPPORTED INSTEAD OF PARENTS.

I WOULD CHANGE THAT, BUT I THINK THIS SPEAKS TO ME MORE THAN THE LIST OF CORE BELIEFS THAT WE HAVE LISTED HERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO HEAR ON THAT.

CAN WHOEVER HAS IT.

MISS BARBARA, YOU HAVE IT.

OKAY. I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU I TOOK THAT JUST STRAIGHT FROM THE LANGUAGE ON OUR 100% HAYS WEBSITE, AND FOR EDITING TO MAKE IT BULLETS. I DID LEAVE OFF.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD IT BACK OR NOT.

WELL, THE FIRST THING WAS AT HAYS CISD, WE STRIVE FOR THE BEST, WITH NO EXCEPTIONS, AND THEN IT GOES INTO WE ARE 100% COMMITTED.

SO THAT'S FINE.

BUT AFTER AND I LIKE THE FAMILIES AND I'LL CHANGE IT ON HERE TO AFTER TAXPAYERS INVOLVED.

THE 100% BELONGING IS NEW BECAUSE I WANTED TO HAVE THAT 100% IN THE MISSION STATEMENT REPRESENT OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND VALUE THAT WE HAD IN OUR OLD MISSION STATEMENT.

SO 100% BELONGING FITS THERE.

BUT THE ONLY OTHER PART IS THAT I DO HAVE TOGETHER WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

TOGETHER WE ARE 100% HAYS I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S MORE OF A TAGLINE, SO IT MAY NOT FIT IN THERE, BUT IT GETS WITH THE TOGETHER, STRONGER TOGETHER CONCEPT THAT MAY WELL BE CAPTURED WITH THE 100% BECAUSE WE'RE ALL TOGETHER UNDER THE 100% UMBRELLA . MS. OROSCO SO I REALLY LIKE IT.

TIM, YOU DID A GREAT JOB AT CAPTURING THAT AND SYNTHESIZING THAT.

RIGHT. SO I WOULD SUGGEST TO THE REST OF THE BOARD TO CONSIDER THIS.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON MY LEFT? NOPE. COMING OVER TO MY RIGHT, MISS RUNKLE.

NO, I MEAN, I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S ON THE BELIEFS IS IT DOES CALL OUT EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY IF WE WANT TO INCORPORATE THAT SOMEHOW, OR ARE WE

[01:10:03]

THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT STUCK OUT THAT I JUST DIDN'T THINK, YEAH, I'M GOOD.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

SO THEN THE SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS ESSENTIAL IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THAT, I JUST.

AM I READING THAT IN THESE WONDERFUL BULLET POINTS? YOU WOULD NEED TO ADD THAT.

UNLESS YOU PUT WE'RE 100% COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS AND SAFETY.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT FITS THERE.

IT KIND OF. YEAH, JUST I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE THE ESSENCE OF, YOU KNOW, SAFETY BEING SO.

MS. RUNKLE.

YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? WE WANT ALL WE DID WAS SAY, DID WE SAY PARENTS EARLIER? DID WE SAY FAMILIES? FAMILIES.

WE WANT ALL FAMILIES TO FEEL WELCOME INCLUDED, SAFE AND SUPPORTED.

WELL, WE THE SAFETY IS MORE ABOUT THE STUDENTS ON CAMPUS FAMILIES.

WELL, WE WANT THEM TO BE SAFE.

THAT IMPLIES MAYBE THEY'RE AT HOME, WHICH IS WHERE WE ALSO WANT THEM TO BE SAFE.

BUT WE ESPECIALLY WANT THEM TO BE SAFE ON CAMPUS DURING THE.

OKAY, I KNOW MISS PETREA IS OVER HERE TYPING SOME SUGGESTED AS I SEE MISS OROSCO HAND GO UP AGAIN.

MISS OROSCO, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I THINK TIM MADE A GREAT POINT OF INCLUDING IT ON THAT FIRST BULLET.

WE ARE 100% COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE.

WHAT DID YOU SAY, MR. SAVOY? JUST MAKE IT A THREE.

WE ARE 100% COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS, AND SAFETY.

SAFETY IS OUR HAS BEEN OUR GOAL.

I THINK IT'S VERY NICELY LAID OUT THERE ON THAT FIRST BULLET.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT SPOT FOR IT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

MS. OROSCO MR. [INAUDIBLE]. I SAW YOUR HAND COMING UP.

YES. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, LIKE, I DON'T MIND HAVING THE BELIEF STATEMENTS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AN WE HAVE IT LISTED ON OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND I THINK SOMETIMES THAT'S A PUBLIC DOCUMENT THAT OUR, COMMUNITY CAN GO AND VIEW AND SEE SOME DETAIL.

THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE 100,000 FOOT VIEW THAT WE'RE PRESENTING, BUT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WANT TO SEE THESE ITEMS. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO MOVING IT TO THAT, BUT I DON'T MIND HAVING THE DETAIL.

IF IT'S JUST AN ABORT. PROCEDURES FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO AND VIEW WHAT THE DETAIL OF WHAT THAT 100%, WHAT THAT MISSION STATEMENT BELONGS TO.

SO I MEAN, IF WE CAN GET ALL OF THESE ITEMS IN AND REDO ALL OF IT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? JUST GET RID OF THE TAKE THE BELIEF STATEMENTS OUT AND THEN PUT THIS SLIDE IN WHERE WE PUT THE BELIEF STATEMENTS NOW.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I NEED SOME MORE TIME.

OKAY. WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

THERE WE GO. TAKING SOME TIME. ALL RIGHT.

LOOKING OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT.

FOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MISS PETREA? MISS PETREA IS GOING TO TAKE OVER.

SO I'VE TYPED THESE UP.

I'M WORKING ON IT. GIVE ME A SEC.

MAYBE NOT THAT OLD.

HOLD ON. EASY.

OKAY. I'VE TYPED THEM UP IN CASE WE WANTED TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES, BUT I'VE ADDED SAFETY HERE.

I ADDED FAMILIES INSTEAD OF PARENTS AND I DIDN'T PUT THE 100% BELONGING AT THE END, BUT I COULD CREATE SOME KIND OF SENTENCE.

OR WE JUST ADD THAT AS A GRAPHIC ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE THIS DOES LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE AND I DO THINK THESE THINGS TIE TOGETHER NICELY.

SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE IT IN CASE THERE WERE ADDITIONAL EDITS.

MS. OROSCO AND MR. SEVERANCE. MR. SEVERANCE. OKAY.

SO ONE, ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TAXPAYERS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS TO BE INVOLVED IN ORDER TO.

FEED THE SUCCESS OR, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE OUR BELIEF STATEMENT WE CHANGED THE ONLY THING THAT WE CHANGE IN OUR BELIEF WAS STUDENT SUCCESS RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

HOW DO WE WORDSMITH THAT TO SAY WHAT WE HAD CHANGED? THAT COULD BE THE 100% BELONGING SOMETHING THERE IN BULLET.

[01:15:01]

I JUST WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THERE.

100% INSTRUMENTAL IN THE SUCCESS OF OUR STUDENTS, OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS.

I MEAN, IT DOESN'T MATTER MEMBERS TAXPAYERS NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED, INCLUDED AND INFORMED.

WELL, I GUESS INVOLVED AND INCLUDED.

WELL, IT INVOLVED, INFORMED AND INVESTED.

HOW ABOUT THAT? IF WE WANT TO GO WITH ANOTHER.

I INVESTED IN OUR STUDENT SUCCESS.

WELL, JUST INVESTED THE VERY LAST BULLET.

WE WANT ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TAXPAYERS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS TO BE INVOLVED, COMMA INFORMED, COMMA, AND INVESTED IN STUDENT SUCCESS.

IS THAT STILL BUMPER STICKER ISH? NO, THIS IS MORE OF LIKE A WALLET CARD, YOU KNOW, WITH A LITTLE SAYING ON IT.

OKAY, SO, MISS PETREA, THAT LAST OR THAT FIFTH BULLET POINT.

[INAUDIBLE] ALL FAMILIES HAVE FEEL, WELCOMED AND I THINK YOU CAN SAY WELCOME.

SO WE GOT THAT AND THEN THE FIFTH BULLET POINT THERE THAT WE WANT ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TAXPAYERS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS TO BE INVOLVED COMMA INFORMED COMMA AND INVESTED IN STUDENT SUCCESS.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S GOOD.

MISS OROSCO, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO CAPTURE IT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT.

WE DON'T LEAVE IT LIKE THIS.

LIKE, I LIKE THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT.

THE WAY TIM HAS.

IT LOOKS MORE IMPACTFUL THAN THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN OUT HERE.

THIS LOOKS TOO LISTY.

AND THE WAY TIM HAS IT LOOKS LIKE PERFECT.

IT LOOKS MORE IMPACTFUL AND THEN OF COURSE, WITH THE GRAPHIC WOULD REALLY HELP THAT.

SO I'M GLAD THAT WE CAPTURED IT AND WE'RE ABLE TO EDIT IT, BUT IT WOULD BE LAID OUT THE WAY TIM DID IT.

CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT REALLY MADE IT STICK.

YEAH, IT'S ALL ABOUT FORMATTING.

COOL. CAN WE I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING THE INVESTED IN STUDENT SUCCESS AND IT'S JUST A MINOR THING.

BUT SINCE WE USE SUCCESS IN THE FIRST ONE, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF ANOTHER WORD INVESTED IN STUDENT.

KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S POSITIVE OUTCOME GROWTH NEUTRAL ACHIEVEMENT, ACHIEVEMENT TEST, STAAR TESTING ISN'T IT? WE CAN'T USE EXCELLENCE BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY USED THAT ONE UP AT THE TOP.

SOMEBODY TYPE IT IN WORD AND RIGHT CLICK.

STUDENT LEARNING.

WE SAID GROWTH EARLIER BUT NOBODY STUDENT GROWTH.

I MEAN ACHIEVEMENT I LIKE ACHIEVEMENT I GUESS THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT COVERS EVERYTHING DOESN'T IT AND THEN TO GET THE EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY ONE.

WE WANT ALL TEACHERS AND EMPLOYEES EMPOWERED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR UNRIVALED EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY DISTRICT AND TRUSTEE WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY IN THIS PARTICULAR.

I THINK THAT'S HYPHENATED.

I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE WORDY BUT I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING, RIGHT? SO WE WANT ALL TEACHERS, EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEES EMPOWERED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I MEAN, WE COULD. YEAH, IT'S UP TO YOU, I DON'T.

ALL RIGHT, CUT THAT.

YEP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

OKAY. SO, TEAM, WE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MR. SAVOY. SO I HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION.

I HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION.

I MOVE TO AMEND OUR BELIEF STATEMENTS AND REPLACE OUR BELIEF STATEMENTS WITH THE ONES ON THE SCREEN AS FORMATTED DIFFERENTLY BY TIM SAVOY AS DISCUSSED.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO SUGGEST A MOTION SECONDED BY MISS RUNKLE.

MOVE. THANK YOU.

MOVE BY MISS OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. SEIBEL. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, MISS OROSCO MAN TIM IS ON FIRE.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. LOOKING AT MY RIGHT.

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

MR. SAVOY.

WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE MONDAY OFF.

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE DAY OFF.

OKAY, TEAM.

AGAIN THE NEXT THREE ITEMS.

[Items J.13. & J.14.]

THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. EXCUSE ME.

THE SOCIAL CONTRACT AND THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.

WE WILL PULL THOSE FROM TONIGHT.

I HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED A COUPLE OF OPTIONS ON THAT, SO LET'S GO TO ITEM 15.

[J.15. Review and possible adoption of the Hays CISD District Goals for 2024-2025]

ALL RIGHT. DOES SOMEBODY WANT TO PULL UP THE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO TEAM NO MOTION JUST YET BECAUSE I KNOW WE WERE STILL FLESHING THIS OUT.

I'M GOING TO LOOK TO MY RIGHT TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY FURTHER INPUT OR QUESTIONS.

DISCUSSION. NONE RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. COMING LEFT.

MR. SEVERANCE.

THANK YOU, MR. VELA. SO LAST WEEK, I THINK I HAD SOME I NEEDED SOME CLARIFICATION ON THIS PROCESS AND DR.

WRIGHT, I THINK YOU HAD EXPLAINED IT TO ME THAT WE WERE JUST GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION FROM WHAT OUR WHAT WE WANTED, AND THEN FROM YOUR TEAM, AND THEN YOU WERE GOING TO GO BACK TOGETHER AND THEN REFORMULATE THIS FOR US TO THEN LOOK AT BASED ON ALL THE FEEDBACK FROM EVERYBODY.

WERE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT WITH TIM ON THE WAY HOME FRIDAY NIGHT, OR IS THIS THE SAME AS IT WAS FRIDAY? NO. THE OVERARCHING GOALS ARE WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS TONIGHT, AND THEN THE TEAM AND OUR CABINET MEETING TOMORROW WILL BE WORKING ON THE FOCUS AREAS ALONG WITH THE EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING FORWARD.

BUT WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT WE COULD HAVE A CONSENSUS WITH THE OVERARCHING GOALS, SO THEN WE COULD SET ALL THE FOCUS AREAS AND THE EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT FOR EACH OF THE SAID GOALS.

OKAY. THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT FOR ME.

I FIGURED THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT YOUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS STILL ENCOMPASSED THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD PRESENTED AND THEN WHAT YOUR TEAM HAD PRESENTED.

OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT.

OKAY. LOOKING RIGHT.

NOW FOR THE QUESTIONS OKAY TEAM.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR SUGGESTED MOTION.

[01:25:03]

OKAY. THE SECOND ONE IS FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AGAIN I'LL LOOK LEFT TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR INPUT LOOKING RIGHT.

OKAY. THEN WE HAD BOARD STAFF, COMMUNITY RELATIONS GOAL LOOKING RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? LOOKING LEFT AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE HAVE THE FINANCE GOAL.

SO AGAIN ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

LOOKING LEFT. LOOKING RIGHT.

SO TEAM DOCTOR WRIGHT EXPLAINED HOW MOST OF OUR GOALS WE HAVE THE 3 TO 5 YEAR PLAN ON EACH ONE OF THESE AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THE DIFFERENT COLOR CODES ON THESE.

SO I DON'T BELIEVE WE EXPECTED ANY MUCH CHANGE, IF YOU WILL, ON ANY OF THE OVERARCHING GOALS.

TO DOCTOR WRIGHT'S POINT A MOMENT AGO, HE AND HIS STAFF WILL GO THROUGH AND COME OUT WITH THE EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT AND OF COURSE, WE HAD OUR EVALUATION WITH DOCTOR WRIGHT. SO HE WAS GIVEN SOME VERY SPECIFIC FEEDBACK FROM THE WILL OF THE BOARD.

MISS PETREA, YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT? JUST QUICKLY WANT TO CONFIRM.

I KNOW WE DON'T VOTE ON THE FOCUS AREAS OR THE EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A MEETING TO AT LEAST DISCUSS THOSE ITEMS. CERTAINLY THE FOCUS AREAS FOR SURE.

EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT, OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT IS, BUT I THINK FOR THE FOCUS AREAS, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AT LEAST ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. WE GOT THAT FEEDBACK AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET A CHANCE TO REVIEW AND SOME INPUT.

MISS OROSCO AND WE ACTUALLY DO VOTE ON THAT FOCUS AREA AND EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT WHEN WE ADOPT A SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION TOOL.

SO THAT WILL BE A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TWEAK AND FOCUS AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EVIDENCE OF ATTAINMENT, WHICH WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

SO THAT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR US TO DISCUSS.

SO WE'LL DEFINITELY PROBABLY HAVE LOTS OF INPUT THEN DOCTOR, YOU WANT TO ADD TO ANY OF THAT.

YES. SO I HAVE ALL OF YOUR FEEDBACK FROM THE EVALUATION, I HAVE ALL THE FEEDBACK FROM OUR GOAL SETTING AND SO I'LL BE WORKING WITH THE TEAM TO, TO HELP CREATE THOSE FOCUS AREAS, AND THEN WE'LL CREATE SMART GOALS FROM THOSE AND WE'LL GET THOSE TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT ALL OF YOU CAN CHIME IN AND GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK AND THEN YOU WILL OFFICIALLY APPROVE THAT IN THE FORM OF THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION MOVING FORWARD.

SO YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS UP TO THE POINT OF APPROVING THEM.

AS MR. OROSCO SAID IN THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION.

YEAH. THANK YOU, DOCTOR WRIGHT AND I APPRECIATE YOU MENTIONING THE FACT THAT WE WANT THOSE IN SMART FORMAT.

RIGHT. WHERE WE TALKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THAT ON FRIDAY, WHICH OKAY.

SO TEAM AGAIN WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON ANY ONE OF THE FOUR OVERARCHING GOALS.

ANY OTHER REQUESTS FROM THE RIGHT? LOOKING LEFT, MISS OROSCO.

YES. PLEASE PROVIDE PER CAMPUS FINES ASSOCIATED WITH DAMAGED CHROMEBOOKS AND AND OR IPADS AS WELL. BECAUSE I KNOW IN ELEMENTARY IT'S IPADS AND THEN THE SECOND PART TO THAT IS WHAT IS THE PLAN ON MAKING SURE STUDENTS STILL HAVE ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY IN ORDER TO DO THEIR WORK WHEN THEY DO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING FINE.
