SO NOW HANG ON. HANG IN THERE, Y'ALL. I MOVE THAT THE HAYS COUNTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE ORDER AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF HAYS CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, UNLIMITED TAX, SCHOOL BUILDING BONDS, AND ONE OR MORE SERIES LEVYING A TAX AND PROVIDING FOR THE SECURITY AND PAYMENT THEREOF, AUTHORIZING A PRICING OFFICER TO APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE SALE THEREOF IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPECIFIED PARAMETERS, AND ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO AS PRESENTED.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR GIVING ME THE LIBERTY TO MOVE THAT UP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING SUPPORTING US TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT, NOW BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMING.

WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO L.3 ON PAGE 71. IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER.

[L.3. Consideration and possible approval of the Hays CISD Compensation Plan for the 2025-2026 School Year]

THERE SHOULD BE SOME INFORMATION A COUPLE A PACKET FOR THESE NEXT TWO ITEMS. MISS CORSON. THANK YOU FOR BEING AVAILABLE FOR US TONIGHT.

AND WE'RE GOING. THIS IS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE 2025, 2026 SCHOOL YEAR. YES. GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SUPERINTENDENT DR. WRIGHT.

TONIGHT, I BRING TO YOU FOR COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.

THE TEACHER HIRING SCHEDULE FOR 2526. THE REASON WHY WE ARE BRINGING JUST THIS PIECE TO YOU TONIGHT, AS DOCTOR WRIGHT EXPLAINED, IS THAT THERE REMAINS MUCH TO BE LEARNED ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY ALL OF THE LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. AND BECAUSE RESOURCES ARE VALUABLE AND RESOURCES AND WE HAVE TO DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDED.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THE BEST DECISIONS POSSIBLE AND NOT HAVE ANY MISSTEPS.

FOR THIS REASON, WE ARE BRINGING JUST THIS TEACHER SCHEDULE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE NURSES AND LIBRARIANS ARE NOT ON THE SCHEDULE.

THE TEACHER SCHEDULE IS NOW A STANDALONE SCHEDULE BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY PIECE THAT WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN AT THIS TIME.

[00:30:05]

SO WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU'LL SEE FOR STEPS ZERO, IT REMAINS THE SAME AS AS IT HAS BEEN IN SPIN IN 2425.

YOU'LL NOTICE TBD FOR STEPS ONE AND TWO, BECAUSE THE IMPACT TO THOSE STEPS WON'T BE KNOWN UNTIL WE GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE NUMBERS, TO SEE EXACTLY HOW WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE ANY PAY INCREASE.

AND SO THAT IS TO BE DETERMINED AND WILL BE BRINGING THE COMPENSATION PLAN BACK IN JULY WITH MORE DETAIL FLESHED OUT.

BUT FOR THE OTHER STEPS, YOU WILL SEE THE APPLICATION OF THE $2,500 INCREASE FOR YEARS THREE AND FOUR AND THE $5,000 INCREASE FOR EVERYTHING THEREAFTER. THANK YOU, MISS CORSON.

ANY QUESTIONS? LOOK TO MY RIGHT. MISS RUNKLE.

NO. NO QUESTIONS. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY. I MEAN, WE SPOKE A LOT ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH LAST WEEK, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE IN SUCH GREAT COMMUNICATION WITH MRS. ALTMAN'S AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS ALSO.

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW, HAVING JUST SAID IN A LEGISLATIVE SESSION OURSELVES, WE KNOW THAT. SORRY, SIR, A PROBLEM. GO AHEAD.

GREAT. OKAY, SO HAVING JUST SAID, IN A LEGISLATIVE SESSION OURSELVES, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S STILL SOME SO MUCH OF THE UNKNOWN AND WE STILL HAVE LAWYERS AND TO STILL TRYING TO DECIPHER THROUGH IT.

WE WE DO KNOW WHAT WE DO KNOW RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S THIS.

SO I, I HATE THAT WE'RE STILL KIND OF TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, BUT THAT'S THE POSITION THAT WE'RE IN.

WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE FIGURING OUT WHAT ALL OF THIS IS, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE THIS. I WISH IT WAS TODAY, BUT I CAN APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE AND TAKING THE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH UNTIL WE HAVE MORE FINE, FINER DETAILS. BECAUSE CLEARLY IT'S STILL ALL ACROSS THE BOARD HERE.

SO THANK YOU, MRS. CORSON. I'LL JUST KIND OF RESERVE MORE QUESTIONS AS WE KIND OF CONTINUE TO GO DOWN THE LINE.

BUT FOR NOW, I, I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION WE'RE IN, AND I APPRECIATE YOU BEING TAKING A PAUSE UNTIL WE FIGURE THINGS OUT.

WE DON'T WANT TO GET IT WRONG. CORRECT. MISS PETREA.

OKAY, SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON.

AND I KIND OF. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. YOU'VE JUST STRIPPED DOWN TO WHAT WE KNOW WE CAN DO.

BUT IS IT IS IT CORRECT THAT WE ARE BASICALLY ONLY VOTING ON THE TEACHER COMP PLAN? THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE AT THIS TIME. ALL OTHER PAY REMAINS THE SAME.

OKAY, SO BUT WE DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE FULL COMP PLAN.

CORRECT. BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY PART THAT'S DIFFERENT.

OKAY. THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE MADE TO IT. EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINS THE SAME.

FOR NOW UNTIL JULY. OKAY. SO. SO ALL RATES IN EFFECT IN 2425 APPLY. THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE THAT'S MADE IN THAT IN THAT PLAN.

AND THAT'S HOW IT WILL BE APPLIED AT THIS POINT OF TIME MOVING FORWARD.

OKAY. WE'RE WE'RE 100% SURE THAT NOTHING ELSE CHANGED IN OUR COMP PLAN WITH ANYBODY COMING ON OR MOVES OR ANY OF THAT STUFF. SO YEAH, NO, WE'RE JUST SITTING ON WHAT WE HAVE THAT Y'ALL APPROVED LAST YEAR.

THIS IS THE ONLY DEFINITIVE CHANGE THAT WE THAT WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW AND FEEL COMFORTABLE BRINGING FORWARD.

AND THEN OUR GOAL IS TO BRING THE NEXT PORTION AND THE REST OF IT IN JULY.

AND SO BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO HINDER OUR PROCESS, AND WITH COMPETING DISTRICTS FOR THE REMAINING VACANCIES THAT WE HAVE FOR TEACHER POSITIONS. SO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THIS KNOWN SO THAT WE COULD RECRUIT.

OKAY. THAT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE. OKAY. SO THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE.

NOW I FEEL LIKE I KNOW WHAT I'M VOTING ON. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO JUST I HAVE A JUST A QUICK QUESTION. SO REMIND ME THE DISCUSSION WE WERE HAVING LAST ON THE 10TH, ABOUT THE MILLION, 35,000. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO DETERMINE EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE DEFINING THE TEACHERS WHO ACTUALLY GET THE RAISES THE CODING, THE DEFINITION, THE ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS, ALL OF THAT.

AND THEY ARE BASING THAT BASED ON TEAMS NUMBERS.

[00:35:04]

AND SO WE NEED TO TAKE A DEEPER DIVE INTO LEARNING MORE ABOUT WHO COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THAT.

THERE ARE SOME THAT WOULD NOT GET IT, POTENTIALLY.

AND WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS TO GET SOMEONE EXCITED AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TELL THEM, OH, I'M SORRY, YOU REALLY DON'T COUNT. AND SO THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW FOR NOW.

THE MILLION 35 IS WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD AS WHAT WAS TO BE DIVIDED AMONG STAFF WITHOUT ADMINISTRATORS.

BUT AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE BUDGET AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE REVENUE AND THE APPLICATION AND THE RULES OF ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ALLOTMENTS, WE THOUGHT IT BEST TO CONTINUE TO STUDY THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH MISS OTTER'S COMING ON BOARD WITH HER STUDY LEADERSHIP AND EXPERIENCE. WE WILL BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO, TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO GET MORE INFORMATION FROM TASBB AND FROM TEA TO SEE HOW MUCH WE HAVE FOR REAL IN DIVIDING THAT UP AMONGST STAFF. WHAT IF IT COULD BE MORE? WHAT IF THERE'S A LEGISLATIVE IMPACT WE HAVEN'T DISCOVERED YET THAT COULD MAKE IT LESS.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO IS MAKING SURE THAT WHATEVER WE DO HAVE, THAT IT IS DIVIDED EQUALLY AND THAT WE'RE EACH RECEIVING THAT SAME AMOUNT. AND THAT IS THAT IS THE FOCUS THAT WE HAVE AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. AND THEN CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IS THERE ANYTHING DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE LAST MINUTE AND THIS MEETING, AS FAR AS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BENEFITS SIDE OF THE BENEFITS THE WHOLE BACK THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING THAT NOW WE PROBABLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S A WE HAVE TO PASS ALL OF IT THROUGH.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE SOME EFFECT ON ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN JULY.

YES. THE 20% FOR THE BENEFITS. WE'RE THAT MAY NEED TO COME OUT OF THE LOCAL AND NOT OUT OF THE MILLION 35, WHICH LEAVES LESS TO TO GO AROUND. BUT WITH EVERYTHING MOVING, WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS TO SPEAK MUCH MORE ABOUT DETAILS THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT WE'RE NOT SURE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED ADDITIONAL TIME TO GET A CLEARER IDEA OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE'RE REALLY WORKING WITH.

BUT FOR JUST FOR TONIGHT FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES, FOR THE 21ST, YOU FEEL CONFIDENT THAT BY THE 21ST, WE'LL HAVE ALL THAT TOGETHER AND ABLE TO PRESENT A COMP PLAN IN JULY.

WE'LL CERTAINLY HAVE MORE INFORMATION THAN WE HAVE NOW. GREAT.

OKAY. I ALWAYS SAY THIS BECAUSE THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WE MOVE THIS AGENDA BEFORE THE BUDGET. AND I KNOW THAT HAS SOME, SOME IMPLICATIONS ON THE TOTAL BUDGET. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE THE COMP PLAN BY THE 30TH.

WE DO HAVE TO APPROVE THE BUDGET BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

AND SO BY WHATEVER HAPPENS IN JULY, WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT, MAYBE.

WELL, WE WE BUILT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE IN. WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO BE DIVVIED OUT YET.

AND SO I THINK THE BUDGET PIECE WILL BE SOLID.

BUT AS FAR AS THE PLAN ITSELF AND HOW IT'S DIVIDED OUT, BECAUSE WE KNEW BASICALLY FROM THE TEMPLATE THAT WE GOT, WE KNOW HOW MUCH TO PUT IN FOR REVENUE. WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE RULES ARE AS FAR AS WHO'S GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE.

BECAUSE AT FIRST THEY SAID JUST ADMINISTRATORS WEREN'T GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE.

BUT THEN THEY CAME BACK IN A MORE RECENT UPDATE AND THEY SAID ANYBODY THAT HAS A CENTRAL OFFICE SUPERVISORY ROLE IS ALSO NOT ELIGIBLE.

AND SO THEY ARE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY COMING UP WITH, WITH FTES THAT AREN'T ELIGIBLE.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO WE'LL HAVE TO FACTOR THAT IN.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE A LITTLE HESITANT. AND I AND I KNOW I KNOW IT CREATES ANXIETY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE IT BUILT IN, IN THE BUDGET, JUST NOT IN THE COMP PLAN BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. THANK YOU.

DR. WRIGHT. YEAH. THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS IMPORTANT.

MS. PETREA. YOU HAVE A COMMENT AS WELL? YEAH, JUST TO THAT POINT, MISS, COURTS IN YOUR OFFICE IS SO GOOD ABOUT COMMUNICATION.

SO AS SOON AS WE GET CLARIFICATION, THERE ARE A LOT OF TEACHERS THAT WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS.

THAT APPLIES TO THEM PERSONALLY. SURE. SO WHENEVER, WHENEVER WE CAN I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A TABLE GRID, NOT A PERSONALIZED EMAIL TO EVERY, EVERY SINGLE TEACHER, BUT TO GIVE THEM SOME IDEA BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

PEOPLE ARE TEXTING ME SAYING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ME? AND I'M LIKE, NOPE. SO WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

SURE. I SPOKE WITH DOCTOR WRIGHT ABOUT SENDING AN EMAIL, JUST SENDING THE UPDATE ON THE TEACHER PAY SCALE,

[00:40:03]

AND EXPLAINING WHY WE ARE JUST SHARING THAT AT THIS TIME.

LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT, AND THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING IT BACK IN JULY.

AND THAT'S THE INFORMATION WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE.

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEIR NUMBERS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THAT'S THE PART THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT FOR OURSELVES FOR DISTRICT-WIDE, BUT AS WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION, ABSOLUTELY WILL CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE.

AND I THINK THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS JUST, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING ON THIS INFORMATION UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND THAT. SO I THINK THIS BOARD IS COMMITTED TO IF WE HAD TO MEET EARLIER THAN JULY FOR A SPECIAL MEETING TO JUST DO THIS.

IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION SOONER THAN JULY, I THINK WE'D BE WILLING TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A MEETING TO VOTE ON THAT.

I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED FROM US, WE WILL PROBABLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THE CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE HAYS CISD EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR AS PRESENTED.

SO, MOVING ON, MISS PETREA. THANK YOU, MR. ROSCOE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. I KNOW IT'S NOT PRIME, BUT I DO FEEL LIKE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF IT.

BUT TO MISS PETREA'S POINT, IF WE GET INFORMATION SOONER, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE IT SOONER.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY, MOVING ON TO L FOUR. THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE

[L.4. Consideration and possible adoption of General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Food Service Fund budgets and approval of the budget for additional accelerated instruction pursuant to HB 5 requirements for the 2025-2026 School Year]

ADOPTION OF THE GENERAL FUND, DEBT SERVICE FUND, BUDGET SERVICE FUND, AND FOOD SERVICE FUND.

BUDGETS AND APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET FOR THE ADDITIONAL ACCELERATED INSTRUCTIONAL.

INSTRUCTION. PURSUANT TO HB FIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2025 2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER, THERE'S A WHOLE PACKET THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE.

AND I BELIEVE, MR. ALEX, WELCOME TO THE WELCOME TO THE MC.

AND MR. PRESIDENT, WHILE HE'S COMING UP, I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MANY PEOPLE IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

ALEX AND AND KAY AND AND RAFAEL AND JEANNIE ALVARADO HELPED OUT A LOT.

AND THEN RANDY RAO HELPED OUT A LOT FROM AFAR.

MISS HELPED OUT. I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A IT'S BEEN A GREAT TEAM EFFORT.

AND SO THIS IS KIND OF ALEX'S FIRST FORAY INTO THIS PROCESS.

AND HE'S HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BEFORE YOU COME UP.

WE APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT ALEX. AND AND SO WE'LL LET YOU TAKE IT AWAY, SIR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

BOARD PRESIDENT SEVERANCE, DR. WRIGHT. WE'LL GET STARTED ON THIS BUDGET HERE.

YOU'LL PROBABLY RECOGNIZE THIS FORMAT AS WELL.

THIS IS RANDY'S FORMAT FROM LAST YEAR. SO THIS IS JUST A HIGH LEVEL.

NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FROM THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.

A LOT OF THE SAME ASSUMPTIONS HERE. AS FAR AS THE REVENUE GOES, WE ARE.

WE DO HAVE AN ASSUMPTION OF A ROUGH 12.7 BEING INCLUDED FOR THE NEW HOUSE BILL.

THAT WAS OUR LATEST RUN AND DOES SEEM TO BE THE LOWEST.

SO I THINK IT'S A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE AMOUNT.

AS FAR AS PAYROLL GOES, WE ARE CONSIDERING, LIKE DR.

WRIGHT SAID, THE FLOW THROUGH FOR TEACHER RAISES.

THAT WAS DETAILED IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. ALONG WITH THE EARMARKED AMOUNT FOR THE RAISE FOR ALL OTHERS, AND THEN BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE RAISES.

$33 MILLION IS OUR NON PAYROLL BUDGET AND WITH SOME RECLASSIFICATION WE ARE LOOKING TO GET TO A BALANCED BUDGET THERE. I DO HAVE SOME DATES INCORRECT ON THE BOTTOM HERE AND THE ESTIMATE OF FUND BALANCE.

I'LL GET IT CORRECTED. PAGE TO BARBARA. BUT JUST KIND OF GOING DOWN THE LINE.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FUND BALANCE OF 31 MILLION 460.

WITH THE RECLASSIFICATIONS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A DEFICIT BUDGET THIS YEAR OF 11.4.

THAT WILL GIVE US AN ESTIMATED FUND BALANCE GOING INTO NEXT YEAR OF $20 MILLION.

AND THEN WITH OUR BALANCED BUDGET, OBVIOUSLY NO AFFECT TO THE FUND BALANCE.

SO WE ANTICIPATE ENDING THE YEAR NEXT YEAR WITH ALSO A $20 MILLION FUND BALANCE.

YEAH. SO THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN HERE BY FUNCTION ALSO INCLUDING CHILD NUTRITION AND DEBT SERVICE.

[00:45:04]

AND THEN THERE'S A COMPETITIVE CALCULATION THERE ON THE ON THE SIDE.

THIS SLIDE HERE COMPARES OUR OUR CURRENT YEAR BUDGET TO OUR PROPOSAL.

THE OFFICIAL THE REVISED BUDGET. THE SECOND COLUMN IS AS OF MAY 31ST.

SO THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $7.8 MILLION AMENDMENT THAT WAS APPROVED TONIGHT.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE DOWN THERE AT THE BOTTOM, CURRENTLY AT ABOUT A $7 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT THAT WILL GO UP TO 14, DO SOME RECLASSIFICATIONS TO GET THAT DOWN TO 11.4.

THIS IS JUST THE REVENUE BREAKOUT HERE. SO THE THE SAME SAME TOTALS THAT WERE PRESENTED IN THE EARLIER SLIDES.

THIS IS HOW THAT BREAKS OUT INTO ALL THE DIFFERENT DETAIL REVENUE FOR GENERAL FUND CHILD NUTRITION AND DEBT SERVICE.

HERE'S OUR GRAPH OF OUR REVENUE SHOWING OUR OUR BREAKOUT THERE OF LOCAL TO STATE TO FEDERAL.

HERE'S OUR BREAKDOWN AGAIN BY FUNCTION BUT ALSO BY OBJECT.

SO YOU SEE THE PAYROLL COST THERE OF 236. I'LL ADD A NOTE IN THERE THAT THIS DOES THIS IS NOT JUST PAYROLL IN THE SENSE OF SALARIES AND STIPENDS. IT'S ALSO CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENT EXTRA DUTY, THAT TYPE OF STUFF.

SUBSTITUTES ARE INCLUDED IN THAT. AND THEN HERE IT IS FOR FOOD SERVICE AND DEBT SERVICE.

AND THEN WE GET TO OUR GRAPH. AND THIS IS THE TOTAL BUDGET HERE.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT FUNCTION 11. IT'S GOT THE BIGGEST SHARE 43% DEBT SERVICE AT 25%.

THIS IS ALSO ALL FUNDS. SO YOU'RE SEEING PAYROLL AT 64%.

BUT THIS IS CONSIDERING DEBT SERVICE AND FOOD SERVICE.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST A GRAPH OF GENERAL FUND ONLY.

SO THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE THE PAYROLL AT 88%. AGAIN THAT DOES INCLUDE SUBSTITUTES EXTRA DUTY, THAT TYPE OF THING THAT'S BUDGETED AT THE CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENT LEVEL.

AND THEN HERE IS AN ESTIMATE. I WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH STEPHANIE NORRIS ON THIS.

THIS IS OUR TITLE ESTIMATES, OUR OUR EXPENDITURE SIDE COULD BE ADJUSTED BEFORE THE YEAR GETS GET STARTED.

SOME OF THOSE PLANS HAVEN'T COME FULLY TOGETHER JUST YET, BUT THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF ALL OF OUR FEDERAL FUNDS.

AND THAT IS IT. DR. WRIGHT DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS CONVERSATION? YEAH, I'M JUST EXCITED WE WERE ABLE TO GO BACK AND RE CLASS, GET THINGS COATED WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE COATED AND CLEANED UP.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TOTAL TO, BASED ON MY CALCULATIONS, REDUCE PROBABLY WITH THE WITH THE CUTS WHERE WE STARTED THROUGH ATTRITION AND VACANCIES AND THEN JUST DIFFERENT ALLOCATIONS.

MY ROUGH CALCULATIONS, WE SHAVED ABOUT $9.5 MILLION OUT OF THE, OUT OF THE BUDGET.

SO THAT'S HOW WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE BALANCE PHASE.

AND HOPEFULLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN AREAS WHERE WHERE PEOPLE NOTICE IT THE LEAST.

WE WERE PROUD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ADD ABOUT $2.8 MILLION TO CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS BECAUSE WITH INFLATION YOU KNOW, JUST THE COST OF PAPER, THE COST OF OF FUEL, THE COST OF EVERYTHING HAS HAS GONE UP DRASTICALLY.

AND SO WE FELT LIKE THAT CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS NEEDED A COST OF LIVING INCREASE AS WELL.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO ADD 2.8 MILLION AND THEN SHAVE OFF IN OTHER AREAS TO MAKE IT WORK.

AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE CAME TO THE TABLE. WE LOOKED AT ALMOST EVERY AREA AND EVERY LINE ITEM WE COULD IN ORDER TO TO GET TO A BALANCED BUDGET. AND, AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS FOR DIRECTING US TO DO SO BECAUSE WE'RE AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE, AND WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT EVERY DOLLAR AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT WE BUILD OUR FUND BALANCE BACK UP FOR SUSTAINABILITY MOVING FORWARD, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO NEED THAT FUND BALANCE TO GROW, BECAUSE WE'LL BE OPENING UP AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SOON.

ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL SOON. AND JUST THE OUT OF BOX CALLS FOR OPENING UP A ELEMENTARY'S 5 MILLION FOR A HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S ABOUT 15 MILLION FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT'S SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND SO WE JUST HAVE TO START BUILDING THAT BACK AND BE REALLY CONSERVATIVE.

I'M ALSO PROUD THAT YOU GUYS, EVEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES.

AND HONESTLY, Y'ALL, Y'ALL HEARD ME SAY THIS.

[00:50:02]

WE SHOULDN'T BE IN A TOUGH, TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW IN OUR STATE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE LARGEST STATE SURPLUS BUDGET THAT WE'VE EVER HAD AT $39 BILLION.

AND AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO SPEND 7 BILLION BECAUSE THEY'VE EXCEEDED THEIR CAP.

AND IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PASSES THE THE WHAT'S THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL? THEN THEY'RE GOING TO REIMBURSE THE STATE OF TEXAS, $13.5 BILLION FOR THE BORDER WALL THAT WE BUILT.

AND I'M THINKING THAT THEY COULD HAVE RAISED THE BASIC ALLOTMENT PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY WITH $20.5 BILLION, BUT NONETHELESS, YOU SEE WHERE PUBLIC EDUCATION STANDS AND AND WHEN AND WHEN PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT TOUT THAT THEY PUT MORE MONEY INTO PUBLIC EDUCATION THAN, THAN THEY EVER HAVE.

THEY, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT LYING. THEY DID 8.5 BILLION, BUT MOST OF IT IS TO IS TO BUY DOWN PROPERTY TAXES, WHICH AS TAXPAYERS, WE'RE THANKFUL FOR. I'M SURE IN NOVEMBER, YOU ALL WILL BE HAPPY TO VOTE FOR YOUR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION TO GO UP FROM 100,000 TO 140,000. I KNOW I'M GOING TO VOTE YES, BUT THAT'S ABOUT $4 BILLION.

THAT COULD HAVE GONE INTO EDUCATION. THEN THE OTHER PIECE I'M ECSTATIC ABOUT AS TEACHER PAY RAISES, THAT'S ANOTHER 4 BILLION. AND THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BECAUSE TEACHERS NEED TO BE TREATED LIKE PROFESSIONALS.

SO GLAD THAT HAPPENED. BUT EVERYBODY ELSE THAT SUPPORTS TEACHERS, PARAPROFESSIONALS, BUS DRIVERS, CUSTODIANS, ADMINISTRATION MAN, THEY THEY THEY COUNT FOR SOMETHING TOO.

AND THEY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE WHAT HELPED MAKE, MAKE THIS WHOLE SYSTEM WORK.

AND SO IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT YOU KNOW, THEY TRY TO PIT ONE GROUP OF EDUCATORS AGAINST ANOTHER AND CREATE A CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD SO THAT THEY CAN CREATE DISCONTENT DISCONTENTMENT BECAUSE OF THE THE NEED TO CREATE MORE PRIVATE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT I'M GOING TO GET OFF THE SOAPBOX. ALL THAT BEING SAID, OUR BOARD BACK IN THE DAY GAVE A 7% PAY INCREASE.

A 5% PAY INCREASE, A 4% PAY INCREASE. AND SO OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE AVERAGED 4.4%.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU GUYS WERE FORWARD THINKING ENOUGH TO, TO HELP PEOPLE COMBAT INFLATION.

AND I WISH WE COULD GIVE MORE THIS YEAR, BUT WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE REALLY THOUGHT IN 21, AFTER THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING THEY DID NOT 23 THEY THOUGHT WE THOUGHT THEY'D DO SOMETHING THEY DID NOT 25 WE THOUGHT THEY'D DO SOMETHING AND THEY DID NOT. AND SO NOW WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING OURSELVES BECAUSE WE CAN'T COUNT ON THEM DOING ANYTHING FOR US MOVING FORWARD.

SO THANKFULLY YOU GUYS PASSED ON THE NICE PAY INCREASES IN THE PAST.

HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SUSTAIN US THROUGH NEXT YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT FROM THAT POINT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO MOVING FORWARD.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE THIS BUDGET. I THINK WE INCLUDED ALL THE REVENUE, ALL THE EXPENDITURES.

WE WERE REALLY CONSERVATIVE. WE WE USED THE FIGURE OF 25,400 FOR OUR ENROLLMENT, AND WE USED THE FIGURE OF ABOUT 23,300 FOR OUR ADA. BECAUSE WE BASE THAT ON 93%, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE OUR ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN.

SO BACK BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, WE USED TO AVERAGE 96% ATTENDANCE.

AND SO WE'VE LEARNED THAT THAT FOR SOME REASON, THE THAT THAT'S CHANGED.

SO I THINK OUR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH IS GOOD THERE.

BUT THE DEMOGRAPHERS LOW PROJECTION IS 25,000 AROUND 600.

SO WE MAY SEE 200 MORE KIDS THAN, THAN WHAT WE PROJECTED.

AND AT MODERATE GROWTH, IT'S, IT'S 25,817. AND AT HIGH GROWTH IT'S ACTUALLY 26,000 AND ABOUT 100.

SO THOSE NUMBERS COULD CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

AND WE HOPE THEY DO. AND THEN WITH IN ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES.

AND IF WE CAN JUST ENGAGE KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM AND, AND GET THEM TO COME TO SCHOOL EVERY PERCENTAGE THAT WE INCREASE MEANS $1.5 MILLION TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO WE HOPE THAT WE CAN GET OUR KIDS INVOLVED, ENGAGED AND INSPIRED TO LEARN AND COME.

THAT'LL REALLY HELP US OUT, TOO. SO THIS IS EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE.

I HOPE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO SOME THINGS TO ADD TO IT.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU TO ALEX AND FINANCE TEAM.

I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO OUR TEAM FOR QUESTIONS, MR. PETRIE. HEY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

THESE GRAPHS ARE GORGEOUS, AND I APPRECIATE THEM VERY MUCH.

THIS IS A REALLY HELPFUL WAY TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION.

AND DOCTOR WRIGHT, I APPRECIATE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD TO STEP IN AND REALLY MAYBE LEAD SOME OF THIS TOWARD THE END HERE AND HELP MAKE SURE

[00:55:05]

THAT WE'VE FOUND EVERY DOLLAR, EVERY PENNY. AND SO I APPRECIATE EVERYONE THAT THAT DID THAT.

YEAH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN TERMS OF LIMITED FUNDS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO RAISES ACROSS THE BOARD.

THAT FEELS RIDICULOUS TO ME. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL WE'LL GET SOME GOOD NEWS AT SOME POINT.

BUT IN THE INTERIM, I JUST. I WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU TO OUR OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS.

MORALE HERE STILL FEELS GOOD. AND AND THAT'S KIND OF IN SPITE OF THE, THE PEOPLE TRYING TO PIT US AGAINST EACH OTHER OR THE US VERSUS THEM OR SOME OF THOSE ATTITUDES. AND I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB HERE OF NOT LETTING THAT PERMEATE OUR CULTURE.

AND SO I HOPE THAT THAT STAYS THAT WAY. I HOPE PEOPLE WILL STILL BE EXCITED AND PROUD TO WORK AT HAYS CISD, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE.

SO THANKS AGAIN FOR PUTTING ALL OF THE DOLLARS AND CENTS ON PAPER FOR US.

SO THAT'S EASY FOR US TO UNDERSTAND AND VOTE ON.

AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY IN THIS DISTRICT WHO'S UNDERSTANDS THAT WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER AND IT'S NOT IDEAL.

BUT WE'RE DOING GREAT THINGS FOR KIDS TOGETHER. SO THANK YOU, MISS RUNKLE.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO THANK OUR ADMINISTRATION AND OUR FINANCE TEAM AND JUST EVERYONE INVOLVED, OUR BUDGET COMMITTEE FOR TAKING A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH RIGHT NOW.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF GOES BACK TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER. STILL SO MANY UNKNOWNS.

BUT WE KNOW THAT WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO PASS DEFICIT BUDGETS, THAT WE NEED A BALANCED BUDGET.

AND THIS DOES THAT. AND SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

I STILL AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING BACK IN JULY ONCE WE HAVE SOME MORE DETAILS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE ARE A VERY EMPLOYEE FRIENDLY DISTRICT, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT AND TAKE CARE OF THEM.

YOU SAID CAMPUS BUDGETS. I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE INCREASED THAT FOR OUR CAMPUSES.

I KNOW THAT I HEARD YOU SAY COPY PAPER AND I WILL TELL YOU, I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY LISTENING HARD COPY PAPER.

SO PLEASE INCREASE THOSE ALLOCATIONS, BECAUSE I SAW THEM ALL OVER EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT THE COST OF INFLATION, EVERYTHING HAS JUST GONE UP.

AND IT'S CLEARLY AFFECTS OUR CAMPUSES IN WAYS THAT SOMETIMES WE DON'T ALWAYS REALIZE.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO YOU, ALEX.

YOU KIND OF JUST GOT THROWN IN SOME THINGS WITH SOME GREAT HELP WITH YOUR FINANCE TEAM, BUT IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE HAVING YOU AT OUR MEETINGS AND GETTING TO KNOW YOU AND WATCHING YOU JUST KIND OF TAKE OVER SOME OF THESE THINGS AND REALLY PUSH US THROUGH THE BUDGET.

SO GREAT JOB. AND LASTLY, I WILL JUST SAY THAT WE KNOW THAT WE ARE LIKELY GOING TO GO INTO A SPECIAL SESSION.

AND WE HEARD THAT IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION IS NOT GOING TO BE ON THEIR RADAR OR ON THEIR CARE TO TAKE CARE OF RIGHT NOW.

BECAUSE THEY JUST FEEL LIKE THEY JUST DID A BIG WIN FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

BUT I WILL STILL ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO YOUR LEGISLATORS BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO NEED TO HEAR FROM US THAT WHILE MANY GREAT THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THIS BILL, THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE LEFT OUT.

AND TO DOCTOR WRIGHT'S POINT AND OTHER TRUSTEES ON THIS DAIS, IT'S MORE THAN JUST TEACHERS IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT EDUCATES OUR CHILDREN AND GIVES THEM THE BEST ENVIRONMENT TO THRIVE. THAT IS EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT WORKS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE CARE OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU, TEAM, FOR BEING CONSERVATIVE RIGHT NOW.

AS WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH FIGURE OUT AS WE THE THINGS GET PASSED DOWN TO US.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, MISTER FLORES. YEAH.

JUST TO ECHO THAT SENTIMENT THANK YOU, ALEX, FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. AND THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING GRAPH. RIGHT. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS GREAT AND IT REALLY BREAKS IT DOWN FOR US AND FOR FILLING IN SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. AND DOCTOR WRIGHT THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS. RIGHT. AND REALLY TRYING TO TO REPLENISH OUR FUND BALANCE.

AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT IN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS.

BUT YOU KNOW, AND TRUSTEE PETREA MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

I MEAN, WE JUST WE'RE AT A CONFERENCE WITH SCHOOL BOARDS FROM ACROSS THE STATE, AND THEY'RE ALL IN THE SAME POSITION, SOMETIMES IN EVEN AN EVEN TOUGHER POSITION WHERE THEY'RE HAVING TO MAKE EVEN TOUGHER DECISIONS.

SO WE'RE ALL GOING THROUGH THIS. WE'RE ALL NAVIGATING.

BUT AGAIN, DOCTOR WRIGHT YOUR TEAM, YOU KNOW, REALLY BREAKING THIS DOWN TO SEE HOW WE CAN SAVE.

AND WE'RE WE'RE IN THE BENEFIT OF BEING A HIGH GROWTH IN A HIGH GROWTH AREA WHERE WE CAN BENEFIT OFF THAT.

AND BUT SOME, SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE MAKING TOUGHER DECISIONS AND CLOSING CAMPUSES, ETC..

[01:00:04]

SO BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU, DOCTOR WRIGHT, FOR MAKING THOSE TOUGH DECISIONS. AND YOU KNOW, WE WE LOVE OUR EMPLOYEES AND WE HOPE TO DO MORE IN THE FUTURE.

BUT BUT AGAIN, I'M APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.

I KNOW THAT'S NOT EASY TO DO WITH SINCE IN YEARS PAST WE'VE KIND OF WE'VE BEEN INTENTIONAL WITH THE RAISES THAT WE'VE GIVEN TO DIP INTO THE FUND BUDGET, HOPING THAT THE STATE WAS GOING TO COME FORWARD AND SUPPLEMENT THAT.

AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE THAT. SO ALEX, THANKS FOR STEPPING IN THERE.

[01:05:03]

BECAUSE MISS BEAR AND TEAM ARE HERE TONIGHT. THAT'S GOING TO BE ON PAGE 151.

MR. SEVERANCE? YES. MRS. OROSCO, I WAS JUST GOING TO SUGGEST THAT YOU MOVE NUMBER 12 AS WELL, SINCE MISS BEAR IS ALSO PART OF THAT. I THINK SHE'S HERE FOR NUMBER 12 AND 13.

[L.12. Consideration and possible approval of the 2025 Bond Purchase of School Buses - International, Thomas]

LET'S GO TO L 12. THEN FIRST THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE 2025 BOND PURCHASE OF SCHOOL BUSSES ON PAGE 148.

ALL RIGHT TEAM, THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE CSD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE 2025 BOND PURCHASES OF TEN SPECIAL EDUCATION BUSSES AND 14 GENERAL EDUCATION BUSSES FROM INTERNATIONAL, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,222,326 AND EIGHT TRANSIT BUSSES FROM THOMAS, FOR AN ESTIMATE FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 1,883,440 $40 AS PRESENTED SO MOVED BY MR.

[L.13. Consideration and possible approval of a Resolution Declaring Hazardous Traffic Conditions]

WE MOVE UP L 13. IT'S ON PAGE 151. THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DECLARING HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

SO MOVE MR. FLORES SECOND BY MR. OROSCO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MR.. RUNKLE? YES. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT I SAID LAST WEEK.

IT IS A VERY, VERY TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS.

THEY ARE NOT EASY ON OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.

AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NOBODY LOOKS FORWARD TO EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

I SAID THIS LAST WEEK WHERE THERE'S ONE AREA, THERE'S ANOTHER AREA, AND WE CAN FIND THEM ALL ACROSS THIS DISTRICT.

AND SO I WHILE I SHARED THE VERY DISDAIN FOR MOVING THAT THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS WALKING IT AND DOING THE WORK OF IT. BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE KEEP THIS ONE, I'M WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE COMING TO US EXPLAINING TO US WHY THEIR ROADS ARE HAZARDOUS.

AND I WAS ONE OF THOSE LAST YEAR DISCUSSING IT AS IT RELATED TO SUNFIELD.

SO I GET IT. I, I WILL SAY THAT THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE TO TAKE UP WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND OUR LEGISLATORS, WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING WE ONLY GET FUNDED OVER TWO MILES.

AND AND WHEN IT COMES TO HAZARDOUS ROADS. AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN IN CASE FOR ANYBODY THAT WASN'T HEARING BUT.

HAZARDOUS ROADS. WE DON'T EVEN GET FUNDED FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE HAZARDOUS ROADS.

AND THAT IS A VERY STEEP AMOUNT THAT AFFECTS OUR BUDGET.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY I LAST WEEK WAS HARD. I KNOW, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS NEVER EASY, BUT I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT OUR TRANSPORTATION TEAM DOES. I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU WANT TO GET KIDS HOME INTO SCHOOL SAFE, AND THAT IS THE MAIN GOAL.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE REAL BUSY DURING THE SUMMER RIGHT NOW PREPARING FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO KEEP UP ALL THE GREAT WORK AND THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS TO US TONIGHT.

THANKS AND NO THANKS. I GUESS I DON'T KNOW ONE OF THOSE.

CASSANDRA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

MISS PETRIE. YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING.

THIS THIS IS AN ISSUE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

AND ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT GOT ME REAL INTERESTED IN SCHOOL BOARD BUSINESS, FRANKLY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

AND MY DAUGHTER LOST BUS SERVICE, AS YOU WELL KNOW.

BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT A PAIN IN THE REAR TO TO DRIVE WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BUS SERVICE THERE'S 1000 MORE CARS ON THE ROAD THAN YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH.

SO TO ME, YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE CARS OFF THE ROAD, WHICH YOU KNOW IS ENVIRONMENTALLY BETTER.

IT'S TRAFFIC BETTER. LIKE, WHAT IS THE STATE THINKING THAT IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYONE TO DRIVE BECAUSE NEWSFLASH, YOU'RE NOT WALKING YOUR YOUR PRE-K KIDS NOT WALKING.

THEY'RE DRIVING. OUR DAUGHTER, WE DIDN'T LET HER WALK THE TWO MILES UNTIL FIFTH GRADE, FOURTH OR FIFTH GRADE.

AND EVEN THEN IT WAS LIKE, FELT CRAZY. SO I HATE THIS SO MUCH.

[01:10:03]

AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE UPSET IF THEY'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION NOW.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING ATTENTION WHEN THEY GET YOUR, YOUR EMAIL.

AND SO THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE THAT IS IMPORTANT.

SO BE SURE TO POINT TO THE STATUTE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I END UP HAVING TO DO ON FACEBOOK.

EVERY TIME THIS COMES UP, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, I GO DIG UP THE STATUTE, I GO DIG UP THE TWO MILE THING, AND I PUT IT IN THERE. AND SO THEY MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IT'S NOT US THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO PAY FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE BUS SERVICE BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP OUR ATTENDANCE NUMBERS. THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT BUS SERVICE THAT WE KNOW IS IMPORTANT, NOT JUST TO, YOU KNOW, WORKING PARENTS THAT ARE TRYING TO JUST GET THEIR DAY STARTED AND COULD USE SOME HELP GETTING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING OR HOME IN THE AFTERNOON. IT'S IT'S JUST MIND BOGGLING THAT THE STATE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME MAD PARENT CALLS.

IF WE NEED TO GET SOME VOLUNTEERS OVER THERE TO TAKE SOME SOME CALLS, LET MR. CLEAVER KNOW. BUT DO THINK ABOUT THAT COMMUNICATION.

GET IT OUT EARLY. LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR ANGRY MOMENT AND GRIEVE THAT LOSS OF SERVICE.

BECAUSE IT IS HARD WHEN YOU HAVE TO REARRANGE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND DAY AROUND THAT.

AND TELL THEM WHERE TO LOOK TO FIND THE RULE.

IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT US. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I MEAN, THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF, YOU KNOW, IN YEARS, A LONG TIME AGO, I DON'T THINK WE HAD BEFORE Y'ALL WERE HERE. WE HAD GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH OUR DEVELOPMENTS AND OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND OUR LOCAL ISD'S ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW WE'RE GROWING. BUT WE HAVE THIS INFORMATION NOW WITH WITH OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR DEMOGRAPHER KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE HOMES ARE GOING TO GO IN.

AND SO I WOULD REALLY JUST LIKE TO LEAN ON LIKE, I GUESS I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S MAX OR MAYBE CASSANDRA WHEN, WHEN WE HAVE THESE HOMES THAT IDENTIFIED THAT WE HAVE BUILDER CONVERSATIONS THAT SAY, HEY, IF YOU'RE SELLING HOMES FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST KNOW WHEN THIS THIS CONNECTS.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE BUS SERVICE. I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, RIGHT? IN THE IN DENSE AND DENSE AREAS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT WHERE THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE HAPPENING.

AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE A SURPRISE.

IT'S GOING TO BE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TWO MILE RULE IS AND HOW IT WORKS AND WHY IT WORKS. AND YEAH, WE BUILT SIDEWALKS. WE'RE DOING GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN OH, WELL, GUESS WHAT? NOW YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOSING THE BUS SERVICE. SO BUT I THINK WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE JUST AS WE, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW WITH THIS DISTRICT WITH, WITH DEVELOPERS JUST HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS ON THE FRONT SIDE SO THEY CAN NOT SELL BUS SERVICE TO THEIR, YOU KNOW, NEW HOMES IF IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE GOING AWAY DOWN THE ROAD. SO ANYWAY, THIS IS HARD. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME CALLS SAID LIKE, WE WILL, WE WILL AS LONG AS WE COMMUNICATE THAT OUT CLEARLY, AS YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN PROBABLY TRY TO GET YOU SOME HELP FROM MISTER CLEAVER WHEN THEY PUT THOSE SIGNS UP THAT SAY NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL WILL HAVE THEM SAY NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL THAT YOU CAN WALK TO. PERFECT, PERFECT WALKING NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS.

SO OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. MISS. MISS OROSCO, I HAVE A QUESTION.

YES. FOR THE RECORD, CASSANDRA, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US HOW MANY MILES YOU ALL DRIVE EVERY YEAR? SO IN NON-HAZARDOUS MILES LAST YEAR, WE DROVE ALMOST 1.3 MILLION MILES IN HAZARDOUS MILES.

WE DROVE 150,000 MILES, AND WE ONLY GET REIMBURSED FOR 10% OF OUR NON-HAZARDOUS MILES.

AND WE'RE ONLY REIMBURSED AT A RATE OF $1 PER MILE.

THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW.

AND HOW MANY STUDENTS DID YOU TRANSPORT LAST YEAR? I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINAL NUMBERS. WE'RE STILL WORKING ON OUR REPORT THAT IS DUE AT THE END OF JULY.

BUT OUR ROUGH ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING, IT WAS ABOUT 10,000 TO 11,000 STUDENTS.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION.

IT IS A LOT OF MILES. IT HAS A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT WE TRANSPORT, AND WE REALLY WISH WE COULD PROVIDE THE SERVICE FOR EVERYONE, BUT IN REALITY WE CANNOT. AND THAT GOES LIKE MISS PETRI SAYS, YOU KNOW, UNDER CODE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE SECTION 42.155, THAT SETS THE CRITERIA FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD AND TRYING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE CRITERIA FOR MEETING THAT HAZARDOUS ROUTE.

THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. THANK YOU. MISS FLORES.

YEAH. THANK YOU CASSANDRA. SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT WE ALWAYS WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO REACH OUT TO THEIR LEGISLATORS.

BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IN REGARDS TO THE BUILDING OF SIDEWALKS, WHICH DO HELP WITH ACCESSIBILITY TO REACH OUT TO YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL, IN MUNICIPALITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, MAY BUILD SIDEWALKS.

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO BETTER THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY WILL AFFECT OUR BUS SERVICE. SO AND AS WELL AS DEVELOPERS.

[01:15:02]

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO ASK QUESTIONS.

AND AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, WEIGHING OUT WHETHER IT'S GOOD FOR OUR KIDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, REACH OUT TO YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, ASK QUESTIONS.

I KNOW THAT THAT YOU ALL DO A GREAT JOB WITH WITH COMMUNICATING WITH THE CITY OF KYLE AND CITY OF BUDA.

SO I ENCOURAGE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT HAVE QUESTIONS ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH ARE GOING TO HAPPEN TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT OUR TRANSPORTATION.

YES, SIR. I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, BECAUSE THEY WORK ON THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROJECTS AND ARE TRYING TO GET GRANTS RIGHT NOW. ABSOLUTELY. MISS PETRI, IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO FIND OUT WHAT GRANTS THEY'RE APPLYING FOR? THEY ARE JUST APPLYING FOR GRANTS FOR ALL OF HAYS COUNTY.

BUT HAVE NOT DETERMINED ANY AREAS. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT COULD TAKE A WHILE FOR GRANTS TO COME IN.

OKAY. JUST SO THIS BOARD IS AWARE THAT THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT WAS PUT OUT BY TEX DOT TO BASICALLY TAKE AWAY BUSSES.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE GARLIC CREEK BRIDGE WAS BUILT WITH.

AND THE ARCHITECT THAT BUILT THE BRIDGE IS WHO WROTE THE GRANT FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL.

I HAVE ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I REQUESTED FROM THE CITY OF BUDA IF ANYBODY EVER WANTS TO SEE THEM.

SO, YEAH, THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT PROGRAM IS BASICALLY A WAY FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS TO NOT PAY FOR SCHOOL BUS SERVICE.

AM I LYING, CASSANDRA? I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

IS THAT PUT OUT BY TEXAS OR IS IT NOT? YES, MA'AM.

IT IS. WHO PAYS FOR YOUR MILEAGE? IS IT THE STATE OF TEXAS? THE STATE OF TEXAS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO, I MEAN, IT'S NOT HARD TO TO ME TO CONNECT THE DOTS.

USUALLY IN THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT, THEY DO REQUIRE, IF IT'S GOING TO IMPACT A SCHOOL THAT SOMEBODY LIKE THE PTA PRESIDENT OR SOMEBODY HAS TO SIGN A LETTER OF SUPPORT. AND SO HOPEFULLY THAT HAPPENS IF THEY ARE DOING THAT AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT IF IT'S GOING TO LOSE BUS SERVICE AND THEN GET LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM THAT COMMUNITY.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S IT IS SUPPOSED TO THE COMMISSIONERS WERE TALKING ABOUT IT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF HAYS COUNTY.

SO IT'S NOT JUST OUR DISTRICT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT THAT THEY'RE JUST APPLYING FOR GRANTS TO TRY TO HELP MOBILITY AROUND THE AREA.

OKAY. AND WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOLKS ON THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE EDUCATED AS WELL.

MR.. RUNKLE. YES. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY YOU BROUGHT UP YOU BROUGHT UP THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

AND IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, WE'VE LEARNED THAT OUR ROAD BOND THAT THE VOTERS WENT FOR IN NOVEMBER HAS BEEN OVERTURNED BY A JUDGE IN TRAVIS COUNTY. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO CAUSE YOU A LOT OF HEADACHE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING US MORE HAZARDOUS ROADS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ROADS THAT ARE PHYSICALLY SAFE ENOUGH FOR OUR KIDS TO TRAVEL ON.

SO THIS AFFECTS A LOT OF STUDENTS IN OUR COUNTY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE.

AND SO I'M REALLY CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT THE CONVERSATIONS ARE WITH TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AND SECURITY WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FOR HAYS CISD, WITH OUR PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD. IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW ABOUT THAT, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YES, MA'AM. WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THAT OR I'VE BEEN WATCHING THAT ONE CLOSELY. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THAT CLOSELY. YEAH, IT'S BEEN QUITE INTERESTING. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. I APPRECIATE IT, MR. OROSCO. AND WITH ANYTHING THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO EVERY AND ANYTHING.

SO WITH OUR GRANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE JUST LOOKING AT THE PROS AND CONS, BECAUSE MOBILITY AND HAVING ACCESS TO THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. SO I MEAN, THERE'S NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

I KNOW WHEN PLUM CREEK BUS SERVICE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM PLUM CREEK IS BECAUSE THE CITY OF KYLE HAD DONE A GRANT FOR THOSE SIDEWALKS, BUT THEY ARE UTILIZED TREMENDOUSLY FROM ALL OVER, SO MAKING SURE THAT YOU HAVE TO BALANCE THAT OUT.

SO WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU, MISTER FLORES. YEAH. AND JUST A FINAL POINT ALSO.

AND I LEFT THIS OUT, YOU KNOW IN REGARDS TO YOU KNOW, AND VANESSA MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, PRESCHOOLERS AND OUR LITTLES WALKING TO SCHOOL FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE ALSO REACH OUT TO YOUR WHETHER IT BE YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS WELL AS YOUR LEGISLATORS IN BUILDING CROSSWALKS AND SPEED BUMPS.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD ISSUES ON PLACES LIKE DAISY LANE.

DRIVERS SOMETIMES JUST DO NOT THEY DO NOT GO VERY THEY GO PRETTY FAST THROUGH, YOU KNOW, AROUND SCHOOLS.

AND THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT. SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I THINK IT'S IT'S GOOD TO ADDRESS THIS NOW BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS AND OTHERS.

BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE FUTURE ISSUES WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS. BUT I JUST WANT WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?

[01:20:03]

AYE. OPPOSED? NO. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION ON NOVEMBER 17TH AND DECEMBER 8TH, ON MAYBE THE POSSIBILITY OF MOVING THOSE STARTING TIMES UP FROM 530 TO 5, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THESE MIGHT BE LONGER MEETINGS AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN THIS DOESN'T EVEN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THINGS THAT MIGHT COME UP, BUT IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION FROM MOVING FROM 530 TO 5.

IT MIGHT MAKE FOR A AN EARLIER ADJOURNMENT TIME, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE THOUGHTS OF THE REST OF THE BOARD.

SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. WHEN DO WE EXPECT THIS TO BE COMPLETED, MR. CLEAVER? OR WHEN DO WE EXPECT TO START AND COMPLETE? SO IT'S GOING TO BE A SPLIT COMPLETION. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET WITH THE UTILITY COMPANY TO MAKE SURE WE CAN ACTUALLY ENTER THERE.

IT'S CALLED A CERTIFICATE OF NEED AND NECESSITY.

AND SO THERE'LL BE A SPLIT COMPLETION. THE ROAD WILL LIKELY START FIRST.

IT'S STILL UNDER DESIGN. WE STILL HAVE TO GET SOME A SURVEY AS WELL.

AND SO WE ANSWERED THAT AT THE LAST MEETING AND I MEANT TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO SO THAT I DON'T MISSPEAK.

WHAT NATE SAID. NATE, DO YOU HAPPEN TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID LAST TIME INTO THE CALENDAR YEAR FOR COMPLETION OR COMPLETION?

[01:30:07]

OKAY. SO THERE'S TWO EXITS AND ENTRANCES WITH THIS NEW BUS LOOP.

AND SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT, SAY, AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY? I KNOW, LIKE FOR SAY AT JOHNSON, WHAT WE DID AT JOHNSON IS WE RELEASED BUSSES FIRST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A STOP SIGN RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE LIGHTS UNLESS WE'RE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY TO GET THAT FIGURED OUT, WHICH THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IF ANYTHING'S NEEDED RIGHT THERE.

AND WE SHOULD REACH OUT TO OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONER TO SEE IF AND EVEN IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NEEDED RIGHT THERE.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT.

AND I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF A LITTLE FAR OFF. BUT I WHAT I FORESEE IS PARENTS TRYING TO GET OUT OF ONE LANE, AND THEY'RE HOLDING UP BUSSES FROM TRYING TO GET OUT, AND THAT THAT ROAD OF TRYING TO GET OUT OF A DAISY LANE IS SOMETIMES INSANITY.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OR WHATEVER THERE WHEN THAT ROAD IS COMPLETE.

YEAH, WE'LL GET A SORT OF THE RELEASE PLAN PUT TOGETHER WITH THE PRINCIPAL TO MAKE SURE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S MARKED WELL AND THE SIGNAGE AND ALL THAT.

SO YEAH, I REMEMBER AT JOHNSON WHEN WE HAD TO KIND OF FIGURE SOME THINGS OUT, I THINK THEY RELEASED ALL THE BUSSES FIRST, AND IT WAS A DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT AND THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC OUTSIDE OF THAT CAMPUS.

AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO AT MCCORMICK. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND AND LOOKING AT THAT. BUT THANKS SO MUCH. THIS IS GREAT. I'M GLAD YOU GUYS THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA.

OBVIOUSLY THAT ONE DRIVEWAY IN AND OUT HAS BEEN KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM FOR MCCORMICK.

SO THIS IS AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. BIT OF A PINCH POINT THERE.

YES. YES IT HAS. THANKS SO MUCH, MR. CLEAVER AND MR. WIN. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. MOVING ON TO EL 15 ON PAGE
