          ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO PUBLIC FORUM TONIGHT. WE DO HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS TONIGHT.

          PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS IS LIMITED TO THE PUBLIC FORUM PORTION OF THE

          PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OF PUBLIC FORUM IS RECORDED AS PART OF THE
RECORDING OF THE ENTIRE MEETING, AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE WITHOUT ALTERCATION. A PERSON WHO CHOOSES TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FORUM IS CONSENTING TO THE ONLINE
PUBLICATION OF THE REMARKS. 
          ALL RIGHT OUR FIRST SPEAKER TONIGHT WILL BE BONNIE WALLACE. 
          PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM. AND THEN WHEN YOU GET UP THERE ON THE MICROPHONE,
THERE'S A LITTLE PEOPLE LOOKING BUTTON THAT YOU JUST PUSH THAT UNTIL IT TURNS GREEN AND THEN YOU WILL, THANK YOU, YOU WILL HAVE THE FLOOR FOR FIVE MINUTES. 
          THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO I'M PASSED AROUND A FEW THINGS THERE'S ONE FOR EACH OF YOU. 
          I'M FROM LLANO, BUT I'M HERE SUPPORTING SOME LOCAL RESIDENTS THAT HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
BOOKS IN YOUR LIBRARY. 
          AND SO I WAS VERY ENCOURAGED TO SEE ON YOUR GREEN FORM THAT IT SAYS SPEAKERS SHALL NOT USE
OBSCENE, OBSCENE OR PROFANE LANGUAGE AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          HOWEVER, SOME OF THE BOOKS IN YOUR LIBRARY HAVE OBSCENE AND PROFANE LANGUAGE IN THEM. 
          AND THE ONE THAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT THAT IS PASSED AROUND TO YOU,
YOU CAN SEE I TOOK A SCREENSHOT OF THIS BOOK IS IN UHLAND ELEMENTARY AND JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL. AND SO THE SUMMARY OF CONCERNS ON THE FRONT
PAGE AFTER THE TWO SCREENSHOTS ARE. THIS BOOK CONTAINS ALCOHOL,
ANIMAL CRUELTY, ASSASSINATIONS, MURDER, BDSM, ORGIES, DARK CONTENT, DEATH, GRIEF, DECEPTION,
DRUG USE, DRUGGING, DUBIOUS CONTENT, EXPLICIT OBSCENE SEXUAL ACTIVITIES, SEXUAL NUDITY, GORE, POTENTIALLY PATENTLY TORTURE SCENES,
POTENTIALLY PATENTLY VIOLENT SCENES, POTENTIALLY PRURIENT BEHAVIOR, PROFANITY, RAPE,
SEXUAL ASSAULT, SELF-HARM, SEXISM, AND VOYEURISM. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY NOTHING POSITIVE IN THIS BOOK. AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO READ A COUPLE OF
PAGES AND I SENT COPIES TO YOU SO THAT Y'ALL CAN SEE ALSO PAGE 280. A TABLE THE SIZE OF FOUR OVERSIZE MATTRESSES WAS PROMINENTLY ON DISPLAY, FORCING GUESTS TO SQUEEZE AROUND IT IF THEY WERE TO
ENTER THE CASTLE BEYOND THE TABLE WAS NOT COVERED IN FOOD OR WINE. IT WAS COVERED IN LOVERS. SOME WERE ENGAGED IN ACTS I'D NEVER DREAMED OF. 
          ON ONE END, A WOMAN LAY NAKED, HER LEGS SPREAD WIDE AS A MAN POURED A TRAIL OF CHOCOLATE
SAUCE OVER HER BREASTS, 
          [00:05:01]
DOWN HER STOMACH AND ACROSS THE APEX OF HER BODY. 
          HE TOSSED THE JUG ASIDE, DROPPED TO HIS KNEES,
AND BEGAN FEASTING. 
          THERE WAS NO ROMANCE, NO SEDUCTION, ONLY PURE,
ANIMALISTIC HUNGER, WHERE A YOUNG MAN LAY WITH AN ARM BENT BEHIND HIS HEAD, WATCHING AS HIS PARTNER SUCKED WHIPPED CREAM FROM HIS AROUSAL. 
          AND ANOTHER LOVER ENTERED HER FROM WHERE SHE WAS BENT OVER. 
          MY FLAME, MY FACE FLAMED AT THE EROTIC SCENE. 
          KEEPS GOING. THE LOVERS HERE WANT TO BE SEEN. 
          THEY DESIRE FOR US TO OVERINDULGE IN THEIR PLEASURE. 
          MY FOCUS DRIFTED BACK TO WHERE THE MAN KNELT BETWEEN THE WOMAN'S THIGHS. 
          HE WORKED HER NOW WITH MOUTH AND HAND. A FEMALE LOVER MOVED TO HER CHEST,
ADDING MORE WHIPPED CREAM AND LICKING HER SKIN BEFORE ADDING ANOTHER DOLLOP AND IT KEEPS GOING. PAGE 282 IS ANOTHER ORGY. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S LOTS OF ORGIES IN THIS BOOK. SO I WANT TO ASK THAT YOU ALL TAKE VERY GOOD
CARE OF THE BOOKS THAT ARE IN YOUR LIBRARIES. 
          I SAW THAT Y'ALL HAD WEEDED 2954, THAT'S A GOOD START. 
          BUT YOU STILL HAVE AT LEAST 200 BAD BOOKS. AND I'M TALKING BOOKS WITH ORGIES,
SEX WITH ANIMALS, SEX WITH DEAD BODIES. YOU'VE GOT TWO BOOKS THAT HAVE THE CHARACTER HAVING,
DESCRIBING, HAVING SEX WITH JESUS. 
          THIS IS DISGRACEFUL. AND YOUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER. 
          AND SO THESE CHILDREN ARE BEING ENTRUSTED TO YOU. 
          GIVE THEM POSITIVE THINGS TO READ. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING OUT AMERICAN PSYCHO. 
          THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST BOOK THAT I'VE EVER GONE TO PETITION A SCHOOL TO REMOVE. 
          SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR THAT. AND I KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO READ EVERY BOOK,
AND SO I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US THE TIME TO SPEAK. 
          AND I APPRECIATE YOUR LISTENING AND INQUIRING FACES,
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT SOLVE ON OUR OWN. 
          WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO SO. AND I HELPED WRITE SB 13. 
          WE SPECIFICALLY PUT THE LANGUAGE PROFANE AND INDECENT BECAUSE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT CANNOT
BE READ ON A TELEVISION. 
          LIKE IF I'M ON A RADIO SHOW OR A TELEVISION SHOW,
I CAN'T READ THIS CONTENT. 
          SO IF IT CANNOT BE READ PUBLICLY ON NETWORK TELEVISION OR RADIO,
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILDREN DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THIS CONTENT. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU, MS. WALLACE. NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HELEN SUE CARTER. 
          COME ON UP. THE MIC IS STILL ON, SO YOU CAN JUST START. 
          START SPEAKING, OKAY? I GREW UP HERE IN THE KYLE SCHOOLS, AND WHEN I WAS VALEDICTORIAN OF MY CLASS AND KYLE,
BEFORE WE MERGED WITH BUDA, MY DAD WAS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND MO JOHNSON WAS OUR SUPERINTENDENT,
AND THEY LOOKED OUT FOR THE MODESTY OF THE CHILDREN. 
          THEY WERE VERY CONCERNED THAT WE BE PROTECTED AND IF ANYTHING LIKE THESE BOOKS WAS AROUND, WHOEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THOSE BOOKS WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE IN A MINUTE. 
          IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALSO PROTECT THE MODESTY AND THE INNOCENCE OF THE CHILDREN,
SO THAT THEY CAN STUDY THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE, LIKE THEIR ACADEMICS. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW,
BECAUSE I DID CHALLENGE THE BOOK SOLD. 
          AND I SEE TODAY IT'S STILL ON YOUR CATALOG LIST. 
          SO SOMEBODY'S NOT TAKING THESE BOOKS OFF THE SHELF AS THEY SHOULD BE WHEN THEY ARE
CHALLENGED. 
          SENATE BILL 13, WHICH MS. WALLACE HELPED WRITE SAYS THAT IT ACTUALLY PROHIBITS THE
ACQUISITION OR THE RETENTION OF MATERIALS CONTAINING HARMFUL,
INDECENT OR PROFANE CONTENT. 
          IT ALSO CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF THOSE MATERIALS. 
          YOU SHOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE HAVING US CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERY BOOK THAT IS A MESS IN
THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          YOU SHOULD BE GETTING OUT THERE AND PULLING THEM OFF YOURSELVES AND CHECKING THEM. 
          YOU CAN CHECK ON CHATGPT AND CLEARLY SEE WHY THEY DO NOT QUALIFY OR SHOULD NOT BE IN THE
SCHOOLS. 
          IT'S NOT THAT YOU HAVE TO READ EVERY PORNOGRAPHIC PARAGRAPH LIKE THE KIDS MIGHT HAVE TO DO
IF THEY GOT ONE OF THESE BOOKS. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE TALKING ABOUT THESE BOOKS AND YOU DON'T LIKE HEARING ABOUT IT,
BUT THE WORST PART IS THE CHILDREN READING THEM THAT CAN CONTROL THEIR BRAINS. THEIR BRAINS CAN BE AFFECTED BY THIS. 
          THEY CAN BE TURNED INTO VIOLENT, SEXUALIZED INDIVIDUALS,
WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR THIS SCHOOL, 
          [00:10:06]
NOT GOOD FOR SOCIETY. ALSO, YOU MAY BE AWARE THAT SENATE BILL 412 MAKES IT EASIER FOR US
TO SUE YOU ALL, TO SUE THE LIBRARIANS, TO SUE THE TEACHERS,
BECAUSE THERE IS NO LONGER AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE FOR HAVING THESE BOOKS IN THE CLASSROOM. IT'S NO LONGER THAT THEY ARE ALLOWABLE FOR EDUCATIONAL OR MEDICAL
OR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. 
          IF IT'S OBSCENE OR INDECENT, IT GOES. AND YOU SHOULD BE GETTING OUT THERE AND DOING IT
WITHOUT US HAVING TO COME AND READ THINGS LIKE THIS TO YOU. THIS IS THE BOOK SOLD, WHICH IS ON YOUR SHELVES. 
          IT'S IN FOUR OF YOUR SCHOOLS AND IT GOES LIKE THIS. 
          A MAN WITH LIPS LIKE A FISH COMES INTO MY ROOM. 
          YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE WITH ME, HE SAYS, SQUEEZING MY BREAST WITH HIS HAND LIKE SOMEBODY
SHOPPING FOR A MELON. 
          I TRY TO PUSH HIM AWAY, BUT I CAN'T. I CLOSE MY EYES,
I OPEN MY EYES AND WATCH HIM SQUEEZE THE OTHER BREAST AND WONDER, WHO IS THIS? HE UNBUCKLES HIS BELT. THE FISH LIPS MAN REMOVES MY DRESS. 
          I WAIT FOR MYSELF TO PROTEST, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. 
          THEN HE'S ON TOP OF ME, AND SOMETHING HOT AND INSISTENT IS BETWEEN MY LEGS. 
          HE GRUNTS AND STRUGGLES AND TRIES TO FIT HIMSELF INSIDE ME WITH A SUDDEN THRUST I AM TORN
IN TWO. 
          IS THIS THE KIND OF THING YOU WOULD WANT TO READ TO YOUR CHILD AT NIGHT? OR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO GROW UP THINKING ABOUT? THE BIBLE SAYS YOU ARE TO LOOK UPON THAT WHICH IS GOOD AND TRUTHFUL AND HONEST. 
          BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE STUFF. THIS IS PERVERSION. 
          WHOEVER BOUGHT THESE BOOKS OUGHT TO BE FIRED. 
          AND THERE ARE SO MANY BAD BOOKS AT THE UHLAND SCHOOL THAT LIBRARIAN NEEDS TO BE FIRED. 
          AND YOU CANNOT STAND BEHIND THEM AND SAY, OH,
WE TRUST OUR LIBRARIANS. 
          THEY'RE SO EDUCATED, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          YOU CANNOT TRUST THEM. THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION HAS BECOME WOKE. 
          IT HAS BECOME PERVERTED. AND IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION,
OF WHICH YOU ARE A PART. 
          YOU CANNOT TRUST LIBRARIANS BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER HAVE A STANDARD OF DECENCY ABOUT WHAT
CHILDREN SHOULD READ. 
          IT IS UP TO YOU THE LAW. SENATE BILL 13 GIVES YOU THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT'S IN THE
CHILDREN'S SCHOOL LIBRARIES. YOU ALL KNOW THIS. YOU'VE HAD SINCE APRIL TO CLEAN UP YOUR LIBRARIES. 
          BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHAT YOU'VE DONE IS DEFLECT OUR CONCERNS. 
          NOT REALLY GONE TO WORK TO GET RID OF THEM. THANK YOU,
MS. CARTER. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING TONIGHT,
THANK YOU. WE HAVE TO DO 23 PAGES OF PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS THAT I HOPE WILL DISAPPEAR ALL RIGHT THE NEXT SPEAKER WE HAVE TONIGHT IS MR. JOHN CARTER. 
          COME ON UP. YOU'LL HAVE TO TURN THE MIC BACK ON. 
          IT'S A LITTLE HEAD LOOKING BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER THERE,
AND YOU WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES. 
          PUSH THAT LITTLE BUTTON TILL THE, YEP THERE WE GO. 
          PORNOGRAPHY IS ADDICTIVE, HARMFUL AND SHOULD NOT BE IN SCHOOL. 
          WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING PORNOGRAPHY IN OUR SCHOOLS? WHY DO YOU PROVIDE BOOKS TO THE CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE TEXAS PRISON FOR
INMATES TO READ? MANY OF THE BOOKS IN YOUR SCHOOL READING LIST DEPICT HOW TO DO UNHEALTHY AND UNLAWFUL
THINGS, SUCH AS USING ADDICTIVE DRUGS, INCEST, SEX WITH MINORS,
BESTIALITY, NECROPHILIA, TORTURE, AND MURDER. YOU ARE AWARE THAT PORNOGRAPHY. ARE YOU AWARE THAT PORNOGRAPHY IS ADDICTIVE? CAUSING BRAIN SHRINKAGE IN THE FRONTAL LOBE,
RESULTING IN REDUCED DECISION MAKING AND IMPULSIVE CONTROL? PORN CREATES A CHEMICAL CASCADE IN THE BODY WITH INCREASED CRAVINGS FOR MORE VILE PORN. 
          VIOLENT SEX IS CAN END IN MURDERS LIKE JEFFREY DAHMER AND OTHERS. 
          BOOKS IN YOUR SCHOOL, SUCH AS CRANK AND OTHERS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE
SHELVES. 
          THEY ARE HARMFUL TO THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. 
          WEEKLY, THERE ARE REPORTS OF TEACHERS SEXUALLY ABUSING STUDENTS. 
          EXAMPLE HAYS CISD FORMER TEACHER ANDREW PALMORE. 
          [00:15:04]
WHY DO YOU ALLOW PORN IN OUR LIBRARIES THAT IS BANNED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL
JUSTICE? CRANK IS AN EXAMPLE. WHY DOES THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE BAN THESE BOOKS? THE US OFFICE OF SEX OFFENDER SENTENCING MONITORING,
APPREHENDING, REGISTERING AND TRACKING, CALLED SMART, DESCRIBES HOW CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CAN PLAY A ROLE IN
A LEARNING REINFORCING PATHWAY. PATHWAY OFFENDERS MAY USE IT TO NORMALIZE DEVIANT SEXUAL BEHAVIOR, REDUCE EMPATHY, AND INTERNALIZE DISTORTED BELIEFS ABOUT CHILDREN. 
          YOU ARE PROVIDING THIS PORNOGRAPHY. IT IS NOT THERAPEUTIC. 
          IT HAS NO THERAPEUTIC VALUE. AU CONTRAIRE IT LEADS TO DEVIANT BEHAVIOR. 
          THIS IS REALLY VERY BASIC. BIBLE 101, YOU MIGHT SAY. 
          PHILIPPIANS 4:8. FINALLY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS NOBLE, WHATEVER IS RIGHT, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS WHATEVER IS LOVELY,
WHATEVER IS ADMIRABLE, IF ANYTHING IS EXCELLENT AND PRAISEWORTHY THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS. PORNOGRAPHY IN THE SCHOOL. ONLY SCREWTAPE AND WORMWOOD WOULD APPROVE. 
          HB 900 THE READER ACT. IS A BOOK. 
          BOOK VENDORS SELL TO THE TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS MUST RATE ALL BOOKS THAT SELL THAT SELL FOR
SEXUAL CONTENT. 
          THERE ARE TWO CLASSIFICATIONS SEXUAL EXPLICIT,
WHICH IS NOT LEGAL TO HAVE OUT, AND SEXUALLY RELEVANT, WHICH IS REALLY ESTABLISHED BY THE VENDOR. YOU MUST BE AWARE OF SB 412 PASSED RECENTLY. THIS IS THE NEW LAW REMOVES ANY AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE OR LEGAL OUT FOR PEOPLE WHO
SHARE OR MAKE AVAILABLE HARMFUL OR OBSCENE MATERIALS TO MINORS. REGARDING REMOVAL OF TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
LEON ISD REMOVED CRANK FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY, SAYING IT WILL NOT IT WILL BE RETURNED. ACCORDING TO LLANO ISD AFFIDAVIT,
THE REMOVAL WAS TIED TO OBJECTIONS OVER EXPLICIT CONTENT. NEW BRAUNFELS ISD LISTED CRANK AMONG 11 BOOKS LABELED
NONCOMPLIANT UNDER THE REVIEW FOR THE TEXAS LAW THAT YOU STILL HAVE CRANK IN YOUR LIBRARY. 
          IT IS CLEAR WE NEED TO HOLD YOUR FEET TO THE FIRE. 
          ALL MY REFERENCES, ALL MY COMMENTS ARE REFERENCED AND DOCUMENTED,
THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CARTER. NEXT SPEAKER TONIGHT WILL BE DIANE ANDERSON. 
          YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES AS WELL. THE MIC IS STILL ON,
SO YOU CAN JUST WALK UP AND ADJUST IT TO WHERE YOU NEED TO AND START TALKING. 
          HELLO, I COME TO YOU AS A TAXPAYER, CONCERNED CITIZEN,
MOTHER, AUNT AND ABUELA, OR AS MY GRANDSON LIKES TO CALL ME, ABBA. IT'S EASIER TO SAY THERE ARE BOOKS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES THAT CONTAIN HARMFUL,
INDECENT AND PROFANE CONTENT. 
          I HAVE CHALLENGED SOME OF THESE BOOKS. THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE RESPONDED AND
VERIFIED RECEIPT OF THOSE CHALLENGES, APPRECIATE YOU. I'M GOING TO READ FROM ONE OF THE BOOKS I HAVE CHALLENGED. 
          THE NAME OF THE BOOK IS CALLED PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. 
          THIS BOOK CONTAINS SEXUAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING SEXUAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY,
SEXUAL NUDITY, DRUG USE, PROFANITY AND DEROGATORY TERMS, AND CONTROVERSIAL RACIAL COMMENTARY. 
          ON PAGE 119. THROUGHOUT THOSE TEN YEARS A SPIRALING ABUSE. 
          YOU WITNESSED HER SUBTLE MANIPULATIONS DESIGNED TO DIVERT HIS RAGE. 
          OFTEN THAT MEANT SUBMITTING TO HIM LIKE A MARE TO A STALLION. 
          MORE THAN ONCE, IT HAPPENED WITHIN THE DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT. 
          THIS WAS YOUR SEXUAL EDUCATION. YOU KNEW THE MECHANICS BY AGE SIX. 
          THE WORST PART NOW IS THE TWO IMAGES OF HER THAT APPEAR WHEN YOU LET YOURSELF REMEMBER
DAMON. 
          NOT GOING TO SAY THE WORD EFFING HER AND DAMON KILLING HER,
WHICH IS HOW HE ALMOST TOO DAMN 
          [00:20:06]
CLOSE TO SUCCESS CONVINCED YOU TO HAVE SEX THE LAST TIME YOU MET UP. 
          SEX HAS OFTEN BEEN PROVEN A USEFUL TOOL, AND BEYOND THAT,
YOU LIKE IT. 
          I'M GOING TO STOP THERE. I'M SORRY I CAN'T READ ANY MORE OF THIS AND I'M SURE YOU DON'T
WANT TO HEAR IT. 
          NONE OF YOU WANT TO HEAR IT. BUT HOW IS THIS BOOK EDUCATIONAL? WHY IS THIS BOOK IN THE LIBRARIES? WE HAVE FAILED OUR CHILDREN BY ALLOWING THESE TYPES OF
BOOKS IN THE SCHOOLS LIBRARIES. 
          THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT, AS MR. CARTER SAID, THAT HAVE ON THE CHILDREN AND YOU CAN RESEARCH
THE IMPACT YOURSELVES. 
          WE WANT THE BEST FOR THE CHILDREN AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM FROM HARMFUL CONTENT. 
          I HAVE A GRANDSON. HE'S THREE YEARS OLD. HE LOVES BOOKS AND I'M ALWAYS GIVING HIM BOOKS
FOR EVERYTHING, FOR EVERY HOLIDAY, FOR EVERYTHING. I EVEN GAVE HIM A TEXAS BOOK. 
          AND HE'S OUT IN CALIFORNIA. I'M SURE THEY DON'T LIKE THAT OUT THERE. HE'LL EVEN GET UP
FROM HIS NAP TIME AND GO SNEAK A BOOK TO LOOK AT THE BOOK. 
          I'M DOING THIS FOR MY GRANDSON BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM READING THESE TYPES OF BOOKS
WHEN HE GETS TO SCHOOL. 
          HE'S ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. WE WANT TO PROTECT HIM. 
          WE WANT TO PROTECT ALL THE CHILDREN. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE GOT TO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS. 
          IT'S NOT TOO LATE. WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN. 
          HAYS CISD MAKES IT 100% POSSIBLE. MAKE PROTECTING THE MENTAL HEALTH AND THE WELL-BEING OF
THE CHILDREN POSSIBLE. 
          I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MS. ANDERSON. OKAY, TEAM, AT THIS TIME,
THE BOARD WILL ADJOURN TO A CLOSED SESSION IN ACCORDANCE TO TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, 
          [F. CLOSED SESSION]
TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 551 SUBCHAPTERS D AND E FOR TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
418.183 F. 
          THE TIME IS 5:52 P.M. I'D LIKE TO EVENING EVERYONE. WE ARE BACK IN OPEN SESSION AGAIN. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. WELCOME YOU
ALL IN ATTENDANCE EVERYONE LISTENING ONLINE. THE TIME IS 7:16. 
          [G. RECONVENE IN OPEN SESSION]
A QUORUM HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED, AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF PRESIDENT,
EXCEPT FOR MS. VANESSA PETREA. SHE'LL BE BACK WITH US IN DECEMBER. 
          OKAY, TEAM. DOCTOR WRIGHT I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR OUR MONTHLY SUPERINTENDENT
REPORT. 
          [H. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]
AWESOME THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT. 
          IT'S GETTING CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON, AND I KNOW EVERYBODY'S GETTING READY FOR THAT AS
WELL. 
          SO LET'S START OFF WITH ENROLLMENT WHILE BARBARA IS LOADING SOME PICTURES. 
          WE HAVE 25,082 STUDENTS AS OF TODAY. ATTENDANCE IS HOLDING STEADY AT 94.5%. 
          AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT THE TAX RATIFICATION ELECTION DIDN'T
PASS. 
          YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT AS FAR AS TIMETABLE TO WORK OUT THE BUDGET AND TO
WORK OUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WE WILL BE REVIEWING FOR CUTS. AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THE ADMINISTRATION'S PHILOSOPHY IS THAT
WE'LL BRING YOU ALL OF THE ITEMS IN AT ONE TIME WITH THE GOAL OF BEING MARCH THE 30TH. 
          AT OUR MARCH BOARD MEETING IN, IN 2026. THAT GIVES US TIME TO GIVE VERY THOUGHTFUL
CONSIDERATION TO EACH CUT THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE. 
          YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED IN THE THE INFORMATION TOURS THAT I WENT AROUND TO ALL OF THE
DEPARTMENTS AND THE CAMPUSES, THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING FROM NOW
UNTIL THEN. 
          AND WE'LL DO MUCH LIKE WE'VE DONE WITH BOND ISSUES IN THE PAST. 
          WE'LL HAVE AN ITEMIZED LIST AND HOW MUCH MONEY EACH OF THOSE ITEMS WILL SAVE THE DISTRICT
SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SUSTAINABLE MOVING FORWARD. AND IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE TO
LOOK AT INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUAL JOBS. 
          THERE'S A THERE'S A NAME AND A FACE ASSOCIATED WITH EVERY SINGLE POSITION,
AND WE DON'T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. 
          AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LET THE EMPLOYEES KNOW IN TIME FOR THOSE THAT MAY NO
LONGER HAVE A POSITION WITH US IN THE FUTURE. AND SO THAT'S THE TIMETABLE FOR TRE. AND NOW,
BARBARA, LET'S MOVE INTO THE GOOD STUFF. 
          ALL RIGHT SO WE'VE HAD SEVERAL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. 
          JUST LAST WEEK WE HAD OUR PARENTING PROGRAM,
A RESILIENT KIDS SERVING COMMUNITIES AND STRENGTHENING FAMILIES. 
          SO I REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS WHO PUT THIS TOGETHER. 
          WE HAD 30 TOTAL GRADUATES. AND SO CONGRATULATIONS FOR ALL OF TO ALL THOSE PARENTS THEY'RE
MAKING A HUGE 
          [00:25:10]
INVESTMENT IN THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN. AND I KNOW THEIR KIDS ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM
IT. 
          SO LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE 30 GRADUATES [APPLAUSE]. 
          AND NEXT, LAST WEEK ALSO, WE HAD OUR CTE SHOWCASE,
FORMERLY KNOWN AS COW CAREER ON WHEELS DAY. 
          AND THAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING AND TRANSITIONING TO
HIGH SCHOOL TO SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CAREER TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION COURSE OFFERINGS. YOU CAN LOOK IN THE PICTURE AND SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS THAT WERE REPRESENTED IN. 
          THIS IS JUST A FEW. AND SO THANK YOU TO OUR CTE TEAM,
AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOR COMING OVER. 
          AND AS WELL AS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT STUDENTS FROM THE VARIOUS HIGH SCHOOLS THAT
REPRESENTED THEIR CTE AREA. 
          NEXT YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM I MEAN, ON THIS NEXT PICTURE THE FOURTH ANNUAL SPRING FESTIVAL
THIS IS A COLLECTION OF 254 TOTAL BEGINNERS FROM ALL SIX MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND OUR ORCHESTRA PROGRAM,
AND THEY WERE ALL ON THE STAGE AT ONE TIME. 
          AND THE THING THAT WAS COOL THIS YEAR IS WE DID A VIRTUAL WATCH FOR OUR FIFTH GRADERS ON
THE CAMPUSES SO THAT THEY COULD SEE THE AWESOMENESS OF ORCHESTRA AND KNOW THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM. 
          AND SO CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FIRST YEAR STRING OF FESTIVAL MEMBERS THAT WERE OUR SIXTH
GRADERS. 
          AND THEN NEXT WE ARE PREPARING FOR THANKSGIVING. 
          I KNOW EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF THANKSGIVING LUNCHES ON
VARIOUS CAMPUSES. 
          I THINK WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE MOVING FORWARD. BUT THANK YOU TO OUR CHILD NUTRITION STAFF. 
          AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE GRANDPARENTS AND THE PARENTS AND THE TEACHERS AND EVERYBODY THAT
HAS PARTICIPATED IN THIS. 
          I KNOW IT MEANS A LOT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE THEIR FAMILY WITH THEM AND GET TO GET TO
ACTUALLY SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME. 
          AND THEN ALSO SHARE THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE THANKFUL FOR. 
          ALL RIGHT NEXT SLIDE. WE HAD VETERANS DAY PROGRAMS LAST WEEK AS WELL. 
          AND A QUICK SHOUT OUT, I KNOW WE HAVE MANY VETERANS IN THE ROOM,
BUT I KNOW RAUL, ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, RAUL AND [APPLAUSE] MR. ALAN DUERR, [APPLAUSE] MR. MAX CLEAVER, [APPLAUSE] MICHAEL WATSON AND I MAY HAVE MISSED A
FEW. 
          DID I MISS ANYONE ELSE? I SAID, MAX. ALL RIGHT WELL,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 
          I WAS SO APPRECIATIVE OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT WERE ABLE TO HAVE THE VETERANS DAY PROGRAMS
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY FREE BECAUSE OF MEN AND WOMEN THAT SERVE THEIR COUNTRY TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN COME AND SPEAK TO US IN PUBLIC COMMENT AND SAY ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO
SAY. 
          AND ALSO BECAUSE WE GET TO ENJOY ALL OF THE FREEDOMS THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER AND,
AND YOU KNOW, NO COUNTRY IS PERFECT, BUT I THINK WE LIVE IN THE BEST ONE IN THE WORLD,
SO WE'RE ALL BLESSED. 
          SO THANK YOU, VETERANS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT HAYS HEAT HAD THEIR SPECIAL OLYMPICS BOWLING
TOURNAMENT, AND THEY GOT TO COMPETE. AND ALSO AT THE LAST FOOTBALL GAME BETWEEN LEHMAN AND HAYS,
WE HAD SEVERAL OF THE HAYS HEAT MEMBERS THAT WERE OUR, OUR HONORARY CAPTAINS AND THEY'RE PART OF THE UNIFIED CHAMPIONS TEAM AS WELL. 
          AND SO I WANTED TO SHOWCASE THE HAYS HEAT. AND THEN NEXT SLIDE,
WE HAD OUR JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND QUALIFIED FOR THE STATE MARCHING CONTEST,
AND THEY WERE JUST TOO SHY FROM MAKING THE FINALS. 
          AND SO ULTIMATELY THEY FINISHED 16TH OUT OF 249 6A BANDS. 
          SO LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE]. NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND THEN THE HAYS HAWK BAND ACTUALLY DID MAKE THE FINALS AND THEY FINISHED IN 10TH PLACE,
AND SO THEY WERE 10TH OUT OF 252 5A BANDS SO CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] AND AS I WAS AT THE ALAMODOME,
IT STRUCK ME THAT IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE TO MOVE A BAND AROUND,
YOU KNOW? AND SO JUST A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE PARENTS,
TO THE BOOSTERS, TO THE DIRECTORS, TO ALL OF THE CREWS, THE MOMS AND DADS THAT PREPARED FOR EVERY ONE OF THESE CONTESTS. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY DID THESE SHOWS,
BUT THEY ACTUALLY THEY LOOK LIKE A WELL-OILED MACHINE WHEN THEY GO OUT THERE. 
          AND THE PARENTS, I THINK, HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS THE KIDS DO. 
          BUT WE WOULDN'T BE NEARLY AS SUCCESSFUL IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THAT SUPPORT. 
          [00:30:02]
SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARENTS FROM ALL OF OUR BANDS,
BECAUSE YOU MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND WE'RE REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT NEXT SLIDE BARBARA. ALL RIGHT SO WE HAD SIGNING DAY AT HAYS HIGH SCHOOL AND AT
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND SO I'M NOT GOING TO NAME EVERY, EVERY SINGLE KID,
BUT WE HAD KIDS THAT SIGNED FOR BASKETBALL, FOR SOFTBALL, FOR BASEBALL AND VOLLEYBALL. AND SO QUITE A FEW KIDS ARE GOING TO GET TO GO
AND PLAY AT THE NEXT LEVEL. AND THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN BY CHANCE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, AND IT ALSO TAKES A VILLAGE. 
          I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN TRAINING SINCE THEY WERE THREE YEARS OLD TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY,
AND THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING ALL YEAR ROUND. 
          AND SO CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH OF EACH OF OUR KIDDOS FOR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REPRESENT THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND HAYS CISD AT THE NEXT LEVEL. 
          THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, BYRON. THANK YOU, DOCTOR WRIGHT.

          [00:35:02]
WHO NEED A BREAK? WE GOOD? OKAY. WE'RE GONNA KEEP ON GOING. 
          ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT. MR. 
          [I. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT: Teacher Incentive Allotment]
MCDANIELS, COME ON UP. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. 
          TEAM, THIS IS GOING TO BE ON OUR TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT. 
          THERE IS A PRESENTATION IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER SHOULD YOU WANT TO LOOK AROUND. 
          MR. MCDANIELS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. TAKE IT AWAY. 
          OH THANK YOU, PRESIDENT SEVERANCE, DOCTOR WRIGHT,
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          IT'S MY HONOR TO DO THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT FOR THIS MONTH. AND TEACHER INCENTIVE
ALLOTMENT IS WHAT WE'RE COVERING TODAY. 
          TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT IS NOT NEW FOR US. THIS IS OUR FOURTH YEAR FOR DOING THE PAY
FOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAM. 
          AND SO I KIND OF WANTED TO FOCUS ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE CURRENT AND NEW MOVING
FORWARD. 
          SO TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT IS A TRUE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN MANY DEPARTMENTS
THAT WE HAVE. 
          WE'VE HAD NEW LEADERSHIP THIS PAST YEAR WITH MYSELF,
JAIME KINSLOW, GINGER AND TIM IN HR HAVE BEEN LEADING OUR TEACHER AND INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT. 
          QUICK HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROGRAM. IT HAS TO HAVE TWO MEASURES STUDENT GROWTH AND TEACHER
PERFORMANCE. 
          ONCE YOU GET THAT DESIGNATION AS A TEACHER, IT'S GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          WE DO AN ANNUAL LUMP SUM PAYMENT IN THIS DISTRICT. 
          AND SOMETHING NEW THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT IT NOW GOES ON YOUR EDUCATION CERTIFICATE
FROM STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. 
          SO ANYBODY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT HAS THAT DESIGNATION,
WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY COOL AND AN HONOR FOR OUR TEACHERS. 
          WE'VE BEEN DOING IT THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND WE'VE REALLY EXPANDED OVER THOSE,
EXCUSE ME, THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND WE'VE REALLY EXPANDED. AND I KIND OF WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT IN
THIS CHART RIGHT HERE. 
          SO WE STARTED IN 2021-22 WITH THOSE STAAR TESTED AREAS. 
          AND THEN EACH YEAR WE'VE GROWN AND WE'VE EXPANDED. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IN 2024-25 WE REALLY EXPANDED AND ADDED ALL THE COURSES THAT YOU SEE OVER
THERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 
          ELEMENTARY MATH, GEOMETRY, ALGEBRA II, ENGLISH III,
OUR 5 THROUGH 8 SCIENCE, BIOLOGY. 
          AND THEN WE'VE ALSO THIS PAST YEAR, IMPLEMENTED IT WITH OUR INTERVENTION TEACHERS AND OUR
DYSLEXIA TEACHERS. 
          AND SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GROW AND EXPAND THE PROGRAM EACH
YEAR. 
          OKAY, HERE'S OUR BIG SLIDE THIS SUMMER FOR OUR 2024-25 PAYOUT. 
          AS A DISTRICT, WE PAID OUT 374 TEACHERS WHO RECEIVED OVER $3.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL
FUNDS. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN UP THERE. WE HAD 132 MASTER'S TEACHERS,
185 EXEMPLARY TEACHERS, AND 60 TEACHERS IN THE RECOGNIZED. SINCE 2022,
OUR TEACHERS IN HAYS CISD HAVE EARNED OVER $6.2 MILLION ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. 
          AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS FOR ACHIEVING THAT. 
          WE HAVE A HANDBOOK, WE HAVE A WEBSITE. HR HAS BEEN ABLE ALL OF OUR ALL OF THIS INFORMATION
IS ON THE WEBSITE, AND IT'S ON OUR DATA ANALYTICS THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS HELPED PUT TOGETHER. 
          AND SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE BY SCHOOL, BY CAMPUS,
IT'S ALL ON THERE. 
          ON OUR WEB PAGE. SO EACH YEAR WE SUBMIT A NEW ROUND OF TEACHERS. 
          RIGHT? SO LAST YEAR WE EXPANDED TO ALL THOSE DIFFERENT COURSES. 
          AND OCTOBER WE SUBMITTED FOR DESIGNATION AN ADDITIONAL 288 TEACHERS. 
          SO AS THE PROGRAM GROWS, WE'RE ABLE TO ADD IN MORE TEACHERS. 
          288 TEACHERS GOT SUBMITTED. WE WILL FIND OUT IF WE PAY PAST DATA VALIDATION IN FEBRUARY. 
          AROUND FEBRUARY OUR DATA GETS SENT TO TEXAS TECH. 
          THEY HAVE TO VALIDATE IT AND THEN WE'LL BE NOTIFIED. 
          IF THAT 288 TEACHERS WERE ABLE TO ADD TO THERE. 
          THIS YEAR IN 20. SO THAT WAS 2024-25. 2025-26 THE DATA VALIDATION THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN
OR EXCUSE ME, THE DATA COLLECTION THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN. WE'VE NOW EXPANDED TO 6 THROUGH 11 SOCIAL
STUDIES. 
          WE'RE ADDING IN OUR SPECIAL ED INCLUSION TEACHERS. 
          WE'RE ALSO VERY PROUD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ADD IN THOSE. 
          I BELIEVE IT'S 17 CTE COURSES, SO THEY'LL BE ELIGIBLE AS WELL. 
          AND THEN WE ARE ALSO PILOTING THIS YEAR OUR FINE ARTS TEACHERS,
OUR LOTE, WHICH IS LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH, AND GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS. SO WE CONTINUE TO PILOT. 
          WE CONTINUE TO GROW EACH AND EVERY YEAR. THIS JUST TALKS ABOUT OUR CRITERIA. 
          THIS IS NOTHING NEW FOR YOU. THE MAIN THING IS TO BE ELIGIBLE,
YOU HAVE TO BE A 087 YOU HAVE TO BE A TEACHER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT. THIS JUST SAYS THAT ANOTHER CRITERIA IS YOU HAVE TO BE
HERE FOR THE FULL YEAR. 
          YOU CAN'T BE HERE HALF A YEAR AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF TEN STUDENTS. THAT'S NOT NEW FOR US. 
          THE I JUST INCLUDED THIS SLIDE, REMEMBER IT'S ABOUT GROWTH AND IT'S ABOUT T-TEST. 
          YOUR T-TEST HAS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 3.7 ON THAT AVERAGE FOR DOMAINS TWO AND THREE. 
          [00:40:06]
AND YOUR MINIMUM STUDENT GROWTH HAS TO BE 55%. 
          ONCE THOSE TWO HURDLES ARE MET THOSE TEACHERS ARE ELIGIBLE. 
          AND THEN THE KEYS TO SUCCESS. RIGHT? SO WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM WORK FOR US AND ENABLE US
TO PROVIDE THIS MONEY FOR OUR TEACHERS? FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE HAVE TO HAVE VALID AND RELIABLE ASSESSMENTS. SO I THANK THE BOARD
FOR APPROVING ALL OF THE ASSESSMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD. 
          MAP, MCLASS THESE THINGS COST MONEY AND SO FIRST AND FOREMOST,
WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE ASSESSMENTS. 
          WE HAVE TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS. OUR TEACHERS HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB OF
SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS. 
          IT'S REALLY ABOUT TEACHERS GETTING DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUALIZED STUDENT LEVEL. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE GROWTH IN MEETING THEIR NEEDS FOR EACH AND EVERY STUDENT
THAT WE HAVE. 
          WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON CALIBRATION AND CONSISTENCY WITH OUR PRINCIPLES. WE STILL PILOT
EVERY YEAR TO GIVE US THAT THAT PRACTICE RUN BEFORE WE SUBMIT. 
          AND THAT'S WORKED VERY, VERY WELL FOR US. AND SO I REALLY JUST THAT'S THE UPDATE. 
          I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME,
IS IT WORKING? I SAY OUR STUDENTS ARE BENEFITING FROM THAT INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION,
AND OUR TEACHERS ARE GETTING COMPENSATED FOR THEIR EXPERTISE. 
          YES, IT IS WORKING. AND SO WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
          GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. SURE I MEAN, THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM FOR OUR TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO EARN ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND
PAY. 
          BUT I KNOW IT'S ALSO A IT'S AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAM AS WELL AND REQUIRES A LOT OF COMMITMENT
ON OUR PART TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. 
          SO CAN YOU JUST DESCRIBE THE RESOURCES REQUIRED FROM THE DISTRICT LEVEL IN ORDER TO MAKE
THIS PROGRAM RUN? WELL, I MENTIONED THE SCREENERS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE ASSESSMENTS THAT'S GOING TO BE
MAPPED, THAT'S GOING TO BE MCLASS, THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUSCIENCE NOW FOR OUR CTE. 
          SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ASSIGNMENT, THE ASSESSMENTS. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. THEY HAVE TO BE ALL OF OUR ASSESSMENTS ARE GOING
TO BE ALIGNED TO THE TEKS. THEY'RE GOING TO MEASURE THAT GROWTH. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMMITMENT AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR STAFF BE TRAINED. 
          WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF TRAINING OUR STAFF OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ON
HOW TO LOOK AT THE DATA, HOW TO INTERPRET IT, AND HOW TO MAKE THOSE INSTRUCTIONAL PLANS FOR STUDENTS. 
          AND SO THOSE ALL TAKE TIME, MONEY, RESOURCES AND INVESTMENT TO MAKE THE PROGRAM WORK. 
          WHICH A LOT OF THAT, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD DO ANYWAYS BECAUSE IT'S JUST ABOUT
MEASURING STUDENT PROGRESS AND GROWTH. AND SO WE'RE DOING THAT REGARDLESS. 
          FROM I GUESS FROM A STAFFING LEVEL, THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE,
LIKE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED? YOU KNOW, IN IN THIS I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOURSELF AND THE CEO ON OUR TEAM? IN THE SUBMISSION AND OUR APPLICATION THAT WE HAVE TO DO EVERY YEAR. 
          BUT IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE OF PEOPLE STUDENT INFORMATION SERVICES ALAN'S TEAM AND
TECHNOLOGY, DEB'S TEAM IN FINANCE. WE'VE WORKED WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO MAKE
THIS HAPPEN. 
          AND IT DOES REQUIRE A LOT OF STAFF. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY,
WITH THE TRANSITION FROM STAAR GOING INTO WHATEVER IT'S I CAN'T REMEMBER THE ACRONYM THEY'RE GOING TO USE FOR IT, THAT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE AS MUCH SENSE. 
          BUT ANY IDEA OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO HELP TRANSITION? MAYBE, YOU KNOW, ARE WE STILL GOING TO BE USING MCLASS AND MAP AND THINGS,
OR ARE THOSE GOING TO STILL BE THERE? WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED WORD YET. YEAH. BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT YES,
THAT WE WILL CONTINUE. 
          I HAVE A FEELING THAT, YES, I THINK THE WAY THE STATE IS GOING IS THEY'RE TRYING TO ALIGN
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND ASSESSMENT AND PERFORMANCE PAY UNDER ONE UMBRELLA. 
          AND HAVE THOSE THREE SYSTEMS ALIGNED. WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY DETAILS FROM TEA ON WHAT
THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE YET, BUT IT HAS TO HAVE A GROWTH MEASURE. WELL, THE NEW ASSESSMENT PLATFORM OR PROGRAM WILL
HAVE THAT GROWTH MEASURE. 
          SO I'M ASSUMING THAT IT'S GOING TO ALIGN. OKAY AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TEAM AND EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN ALL THIS. 
          AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR STAFF THAT WILL BE RECEIVING IT. BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S NOT
AN EASY THING TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          ESPECIALLY ON THE I KNOW ON THE T-TEST SIDE OF IT,
THE EVALUATIONS GETTING THOSE HIGH SCORES ARE, ARE NOT EASY FEATS 70% OF YOUR CLASSROOM HAVING OVER A YEAR'S GROWTH IS A IS A PRETTY REMARKABLE FEAT FOR
EACH OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE ACHIEVING MASTERY LEVEL. 
          SO JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN. 
          THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE TO MY LEFT? MR. VELA. 
          HEY, MR. MCDANIEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I KNOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY YEAR. 
          TALK TO ME ABOUT THE CHANGE, BECAUSE MS. TORRES HAD BEEN LEADING MOST OF THE TIA STUFF,
YOU KNOW, 
          [00:45:03]
ON THE UPDATES. SO WHO ON THE TEAM WAS THIS YOUR FIRST YEAR HELPING OUT WITH THIS? SO, NO, I'VE BEEN ON THE TIA COMMITTEE ON THE TEAM FOR A WHILE AND SO WE'RE LEARNING THAT THIS PAST YEAR IT'S BEEN A SMOOTH TRANSITION. 
          I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO DANA BRAUN AND SIS. 
          JAIME KINSLOW WITH OUR DATA TEAM TIM AND GINGER AND HR,
IT HAS BEEN A TRUE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK, BUT SO FAR, WE HAVE MET ALL OF OUR DEADLINES. 
          YEAH. THERE IS A TEMPLATE THAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR DATA THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU
AN IDEA OF WHERE YOU'RE AT THIS. 
          YEAR IN OCTOBER, WE WERE ABOUT WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR,
SO WE FELT REALLY CONFIDENT WHEN WE SUBMITTED IT. 
          SO WE'RE FEELING PRETTY GOOD. YEAH, AND I BROUGHT THAT UP THANK YOU FOR JUST AGAIN
EXPANDING ON, YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE TEAM THAT IS HEADING UP THIS PROGRAM. 
          BECAUSE IT IS IT IS A GREAT INCENTIVE FOR OUR TEACHERS. 
          YES AND SO IT'S JUST IT'S A GREAT RECRUITING TOOL AS WELL. 
          $6 MILLION IS, WHAT, $6.2 MILLION. $6.2 MILLION SINCE 2022? WOW THAT IS AMAZING AND SO YEAH,
I JUST I WANTED TO CALL IT OUT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A TRANSITION IN IN THE TEAM. AND, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THESE SYSTEMS IN PLACE THAT ARE WORKING REALLY
WELL. 
          AND OF COURSE, I MEAN, THE PAYOUT, IF YOU WILL PUN INTENDED,
IS THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE RECOGNIZED AND THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE BENEFITING AS WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING THE PROGRAM TO YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT YOU NAMED ON THE
TEAM. 
          JUST KUDOS. VERY EXCELLENT WORK THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I'LL TELL YOU, OUR TEACHERS HAVE EARNED EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THEY HAVE
EARNED. 
          EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR IN OUR STUDENTS HAVE BENEFITED YEAH THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK, YOU KNOW,
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE. 
          I MEAN, LIKE JERRY MAGUIRE. SHOW ME THE MONEY. I MEAN,
THESE THESE TEACHERS HAVE REALLY WORKED REALLY HARD TO DO THIS. I THINK IT JUST REALLY, REALLY HELPS US. I MEAN, $6 MILLION PAID OUT SINCE 2022. 
          WE'VE KIND OF ADDED SOME MORE PROGRAMS IN THERE. 
          I KNOW AS AN OBSERVATION, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL NUMBERS,
THOSE WILL START TO RISE AS WE KEEP ADDING THESE NEW GROUPS INTO THERE. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'LL EVEN OUT WITH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          TEACHERS ARE THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE HAVING AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,
BUT I WOULD JUST ASSUME THAT ALL THE CTE AND THE SPECIAL ED THAT FOR 2026-27 THAT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GROW. SO I THINK THE NUMBERS ARE JUST
GOING TO GROW. AND IT JUST SHOWS A BIG COMMITMENT FROM OUR TEACHERS. IT'S A LOT OF WORK. 
          AND THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING IT AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR. 
          THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY, TEAM I'M GOING TO MOVE SOMETHING AROUND REAL QUICK. 
          [K.1. Consideration and possible action, if any, resulting from closed session]
WE MOVE UP. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE UP TO ACTION. 
          ACTION ITEM K.1.A ON PAGE 34. 
          THIS IS GOING TO. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEE ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL. DOCTOR WRIGHT. MOTION WRIGHT. OKAY? [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. 
          I MOVE THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION
TO CONTRACTUALLY EMPLOY THE PRINCIPAL AT LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL, AS DISCUSSED. SECOND SECOND, BY MR. OROSCO [LAUGHTER]. ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING OKAY SEEING NONE ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0. DOCTOR WRIGHT,
PLEASE NOW IT'S MY TURN FINALLY. ALL RIGHT, SO WE OFFICIALLY,
WITH YOUR VOTE, GET TO REMOVE THE INTERIM TAG FROM MR. JAMES CRUZ, THE NEW HEAD OF LOBO NATION. WOW [APPLAUSE]. I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S A IT'S A GREAT MATCH AND, JAMES, YOU'VE PROVEN TO US FOR MANY, MANY YEARS,
YOU'RE WORTH. 
          YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB FOR US OVER AT MCCORMICK. 
          YOU'RE A GOOD, GOOD PRINCIPAL AND AN EVEN BETTER MAN. 
          SO WE WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING YOU IN PLACE,
AND WE ALSO LOVE ALL YOUR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WE EMPLOY AS WELL. 
          AND IF YOU HAVE MORE WE'LL TAKE THEM [LAUGHTER]. 
          SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO COME FORWARD,
AND WE WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU. 
          COME ON DOWN [APPLAUSE]. 
          [J. CONSENT AGENDA ]
          [00:53:33]
TEN. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MINUTES? OKAY AND JUST THE TEAM KNOWS ON THE ON ITEM J.2 ON PAGE 20 WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
PULL THAT ITEM. 
          I FEEL LIKE WE DO THE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS AND THE [INAUDIBLE] PASSING. 
          WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT. WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THAT EXPENSE
AND JUST DEFINITELY UNTIL WE CAN KIND OF GET A BETTER HANDLE ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE J.2 OFF THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. 
          J.3, WHICH IS ON PAGE 22. THIS IS THE REVIEW AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE CAMPUS
IMPROVEMENT PLANS CONTAINING STUDENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES. 
          TEAM HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? NO? OKAY. 
          ON PAGE 24 J.4 THE CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF NEW COURSE OFFERINGS FOR THE
2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS CONSENT, MR. SEIBEL? YES SO WE HAVE SOME NEW COURSES POTENTIALLY ON THE AGENDA HERE. JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE OBVIOUSLY BUDGET CONSTRAINTS
AND STUFF GOING FORWARD. 
          SO IF WE APPROVE NEW COURSES NOW, ARE WE LOCKING US INTO WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO OFFER THESE
NEW COURSES BASED ON SOME OF THE UNCERTAINTY IN TERMS OF WHAT MAY BE COMING? GOOD EVENING GREAT QUESTION. 
          [00:55:06]
SO NO, WE ARE NOT LOCKED INTO OFFERING ALL OF THESE COURSES. 
          WE STILL HAVE SOME TIME. WE'RE STILL BUILDING OUT OUR COURSE SELECTION SHEETS. 
          BUT THE INTENT WOULD BE TO OFFER THEM. OKAY AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GROWING,
SO WE NEED CLASSROOMS FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE. 
          AND SO IT'S A NATURAL PROCESS TO HAVE ADDITIONAL COURSES TO OFFER TO STUDENTS. 
          BUT ANY IDEA ON A NUMBER OF SECTIONS OF EACH OF THESE COURSES OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT,
OR IT'S TOO EARLY? SO IT'S DEFINITELY TOO EARLY. GENERALLY WE OFFER THE SECTIONS ARE BUILT BASED OFF OF
STUDENT CHOICES. 
          IDEALLY WITH THE CTE CLASS IN THE 7TH GRADE THE GENERAL EMPLOYABILITY WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THAT ONE MAKE BECAUSE THE IDEA OF THAT WOULD BE AN EXPLORATORY CLASS WHERE KIDS GET TO TRY OUT DIFFERENT THINGS
IN CTE TO HELP GUIDE THEM INTO HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHICH EACH PATHWAY IS AND WHAT'S
INVOLVED IN THERE. 
          I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THAT AS, YOU KNOW, AS A PREEMPTIVE IDEA FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE SOME IDEA AS TO WHAT CTE PATHWAY THEY'D LIKE TO GO INTO IN THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL INSTEAD OF NOW,
ESPECIALLY WITH, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY HAVING TO FINISH THE SET OF CTE COURSES. 
          I'M LOSING THE TERM THANK YOU. YEAH. COMPLETERS AND SO THAT'S A GOOD,
GOOD STRATEGY. 
          YOU KNOW, SO OKAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST STEP. OKAY THANK YOU. MR. FLORES. 
          YEAH THANK YOU, JEFF, FOR THE FOR THE QUESTIONS ABOUT,
YOU KNOW FINANCIAL RESTRAINTS, OBVIOUSLY. 
          AND WHAT THIS EFFECT, WHAT EFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON THESE COURSES GOING FORWARD. 
          BUT BUT I JUST WANTED THE OTHER ONE IS A COMMENT IS JUST I REALLY LOVE THE COURSES BEING
OFFERED, THE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS, WHICH IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IS VERY IMPORTANT,
AS WELL AS THE IMPORTANCE ON ORATORY INTRO TO PUBLIC SPEAKING, ESPECIALLY WITH TODAY'S YOUTH AND ALSO INTRO TO DEBATE. 
          I THINK THAT'S THAT OPENS UP A LOT OF DOORS. I KNOW HAYS HIGH SCHOOL HAS A VERY ROBUST
DEBATE TEAM. 
          BUT I LOVE THAT EMPHASIS ON PUBLIC SPEAKING AND GETTING KIDS REALLY IMPROVING THEIR USE OF
WORDS AND ORATORY. 
          AND I REMEMBER DOCTOR WRIGHT TALKING ABOUT THE YOU KNOW,
EMPLOYABILITY NOW AT THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT AND WHAT COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR. 
          AND I REALLY LOVE THAT THIS COULD BE A PATHWAY ALSO TO CTE. 
          SO I APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR MAKING THESE CHOICES. 
          ANYONE ELSE? NO? OKAY ALL RIGHT MOVE ON TO J.5 ON PAGE 27. 
          THIS IS THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE 2026-2027 AND 2027-2028 HAYS CISD ACADEMIC CALENDARS. TEAM LOOK TO MY LEFT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? AM I RIGHT, MR. FLORES? YEAH YES THANK YOU TIM. I WAS WONDERING WHO THE POINT GUY WAS. 
          NO. DO WE WANT TO LET HIM TALK ABOUT CALENDARS BEFORE WE GET INTO QUESTIONS? JUST GO AHEAD AND ASK QUESTIONS RIGHT OFF THE WE'RE LOOKING AT DAYS AND MINUTES AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS. 
          THE ONE THING THAT I QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE,
AND WHICH COULD BE A POSSIBILITY, IS ON THE 2026 CALENDAR ON NOVEMBER 3RD, ON THE POSSIBILITIES AND THE FEASIBILITY OF HAVING ELECTION DAY OFF,
BOTH FOR OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS. 
          AND I KNOW THAT IN IN 2027, THIS WOULD BE NOVEMBER 2ND. 
          HOWEVER, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VALUE, I LOOK AT OUR VISION STATEMENT AND HOW WE HOPE THAT
STUDENTS WILL BE INSPIRED TO BE RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS. 
          I THINK I DO THINK THAT THIS SPEAKS TO THAT. AND THERE'S NO GREATER DUTY FOR A CITIZEN
THAN THE ACT OF VOTING. 
          I THINK THAT THIS REALLY IS EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT. 
          IN ADDITION TO JUST ALLOWING STAFF MEMBERS TO TO HAVE THAT DAY OFF TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT
TO VOTE. 
          I KNOW THIS MAY BE YOU KNOW, HAVING TO MOVE SOME MINUTES AROUND. 
          I KNOW THERE'S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES INTO PLAY. BUT I JUST WANTED TO KNOW,
JUST, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE BOARD THINKS ABOUT ABOUT THIS. 
          IN ADDITION TO LATER AND THIS COULD BE A SEPARATE ISSUE THE POSSIBILITY OF OPENING UP
CAMPUSES BEING THAT THERE WOULD BE NO STAFF OR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AS POLLING STATIONS, WHICH, AS WE KNOW, ESPECIALLY EAST OF I-35,
THERE IS A LACK OF POLLING PLACES IN THAT COMMUNITY. 
          SO THIS COULD OPEN THAT UP. I KNOW THAT'S A SEPARATE DISCUSSION,
BUT I'M OPEN TO REALLY HEARING WHAT THE BOARD'S THOUGHTS ARE ON THESE CALENDARS AND JUST 
          [01:00:07]
GENERAL FEEDBACK. I CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. 
          IN FACT, THAT'S ONE OF THE SO WE HAD AN 85% FAVORABLE RATING,
RIGHT? ON THE SURVEYS, WHICH IS REALLY HIGH. BUT FOR THE FOLKS WHO COMMENTED THAT WE'RE KIND OF
IN THAT 15% GROUP WHERE THEY POINTED OUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT. THEY WERE SAYING,
WOW, IT'S TOO LONG OF A BREAK AFTER HALLOWEEN. 
          THAT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT WHAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT WE'RE KIND OF GETTING ON
HALLOWEEN AT THE END OF OCTOBER. 
          WE ALWAYS THIS CALENDAR HAS BEEN EVOLVING FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS,
RIGHT. 
          AND WE'VE ADDED THINGS THROUGH THE YEARS. ONE OF THE MORE RECENT ADDS WAS THE DAY AFTER
HALLOWEEN OFF FOR KIDS THAT HAS PROVEN INCREDIBLY POPULAR. 
          WE HAVE EXTENDED THAT IN THROUGH THE FIRST TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER AS ELECTION DAY. 
          RIGHT NOW, IT'S DEPICTED AS A STUDENT HOLIDAY,
WHICH DOES ALLOW US TO OPEN THE CAMPUSES FOR POLLING PLACES. 
          WE CAN'T HAVE THE CAMPUSES AS ELECTION SITES WHEN KIDS ARE THERE,
BECAUSE OF THE NEW SECURITY RULES THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE PERIMETER DOORS LOCKED AND YOU HAVE TO SCREEN PEOPLE. YOU CAN'T SCREEN PEOPLE THROUGH OUR RAPTOR SYSTEM IF
THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE, BUT YOU CAN'T LET THEM IN THE BUILDING IF THEY'RE NOT SCREENED. AND SO THAT DOES FREE UP
OUR BUILDINGS FOR USE AS POLLING LOCATIONS. 
          ACTUALLY, NOT THIS SCHOOL YEAR THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. 
          WE HAD EVERYONE, I THINK, BACK TO SCHOOL. I BELIEVE THIS ELECTION DAY BECAUSE IT KIND OF
WORKED OUT LAST YEAR FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 
          WE WERE OFF FOR KIDS AND STAFF WORK DAY ON ELECTION DAY SO THAT THEY COULD USE SOME POLLS
BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG ELECTION. 
          WE WERE THINKING THIS ELECTION CYCLE, WITH IT BEING AN OFF YEAR,
WOULD NOT BE AS BIG. 
          BUT WE'RE AT A POINT, I THINK, WHERE WE'RE GROWING ENOUGH TO WHERE AT THE VERY LEAST,
WE HAVE THE KIDS OFF ON ELECTION DAY BECAUSE THEY DO NEED OUR BUILDINGS. WE'RE JUST IN A PART OF A COUNTY,
ESPECIALLY PARTS OF OUR DISTRICT, WHERE THERE JUST AREN'T ANY OTHER PUBLIC OPTIONS FOR POLLING LOCATIONS. WE DO USE OUR BUILDINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION AND CENTRAL OFFICE FOR THE
TWO WEEK WINDOW FOR EARLY VOTING, WHERE WE DON'T HAVE KIDS, BUT THEY HAVE TO EXPAND THAT NUMBER ON ELECTION DAY,
SO THIS WOULD FREE THOSE FACILITIES UP. 
          ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS COULD BE USED, I THINK EVEN IN THE PRESIDENTIAL,
NOT THIS NOVEMBER, THIS PAST ONE, BUT A YEAR AGO THAT WE USED LIKE CARPENTER HILL,
WE USED I CAN'T REMEMBER IF WE USED SEINFELD OR NOT, BUT THEY THERE'S THERE'S LOTS OF OF OPTIONS THERE FOR THAT. 
          SO THAT IS THAT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN. 
          WHY IS THAT BREAK SO LONG AFTER HALLOWEEN? IT'S NOT JUST A RANDOM,
HEY, 4 OR 5 DAYS HALLOWEEN. 
          COULD BE ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, RIGHT? SO YOU TARGET,
YOU WANT TO HAVE THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY HAVE THE KIDS OFF ON A THURSDAY,
BACK ON A FRIDAY, AND THEN OFF ON BACK ON A MONDAY AND OFF ON A TUESDAY. 
          SO WE KIND OF JUST MAKE THAT KIND OF AN EXTENDED WEEKEND. 
          TO MOVE THAT TO A STAFF AND STUDENT HOLIDAY. THEN YOU GET IN A LITTLE BIT OF A TRICKY
SITUATION DEPENDING ON THE YEAR, WE'VE ROLLED OUR SAME PATTERN FORWARD. BUT FOR EXAMPLE,
NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, 2026-27, OUR TARGET END DATE IS MEMORIAL DAY. 
          AND THAT IS BECAUSE OUR GRADUATION SORT OF FIRST OPTION DAY AT STRAHAN,
LIKE YOU GET ON THEIR CALENDAR AND THEN YOU KIND OF GET YOUR DAYS FIRST OPTION. 
          THOSE ARE ALWAYS THE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTER MEMORIAL DAY. 
          BUT IN 2027, MEMORIAL DAY, WHICH IS THE LAST MONDAY IN MAY,
HAPPENS TO BE THE 31ST OF MAY. 
          AND SO THAT SPILLS INTO JUNE, WHICH SOME PEOPLE HAD SOME QUESTIONS. 
          THAT'S WHY THAT'S THERE, BECAUSE JUNE 1ST AND 2ND WE'RE DOING GRADUATION ANYWAY. I MEAN,
COULD YOU END SCHOOL A WEEK EARLY AND THEN HAVE THIS LONG WEEK WITH NOTHING AND THEN PROBABLY BUT WE LOOKED AT JUST HAVING THE SCHOOL END AND THEN GOING IN. 
          SO THE PROBLEM THOUGH IS IT'S MINUTES FOR KIDS. 
          IT'S STILL DAYS IN THE LAW FOR TEACHERS. THEY HAVE TO WORK 187 DAYS. 
          SO IF THEY'RE NOT WORKING THAT DAY, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          IF YOU PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR FOR TEACHERS WORKING,
THEN YOU'RE BUMPING KIDS MINUTES AROUND TOO. 
          SO THE EASIEST WOULD BE TO BUMP IT AT A DAY AT THE START OF THE YEAR,
ESPECIALLY NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THE I THINK PUTTING IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, SINCE WE'RE ALREADY IN JUNE BECAUSE MEMORIAL
DAY IS SO LATE, WOULD PROBABLY NOT WORK VERY WELL. SO YOU COULD PUT IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. 
          BUT HAVING SAID THAT, THOUGH, AND I LOOK TO WE'RE REQUIRED AS AN EMPLOYER TO GIVE TWO PAID
HOURS OFF ON ELECTION DAY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T VOTED. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT FACTORS IN. THAT'S IN THE ELECTION CODE IN TEXAS SO. 
          WELL, TIM, I'LL TELL YOU, I THINK I THINK THAT THIS CALENDAR ALLOWS FOR BOTH OF THOSE
OPTIONS. YEAH POLLING LOCATIONS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS WILL NOT BE THERE. 
          [01:05:02]
AND NUMBER TWO IS BEING A STAFF WORK DAY. I THINK THAT WE CLASSROOMS. THEY COULD JUST GO, YOU KNOW, VOTE AND THEN COME BACK. 
          SO I THINK IT ACCOMPLISHES BOTH OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE. 
          WE MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK AT IT MAYBE FOR 2027 WE MIGHT HAVE TO COME BACK,
MAYBE AND LOOK AT THAT BUT I THINK THINK I GUESS WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS YOU COULD GET BOTH WITH IT BEING A STAFF DAY BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR SUBSTITUTES. 
          RIGHT? THE KIDS AREN'T THERE. SO IT'S A WORK DAY. IN FACT,
I DON'T KNOW ON A PD SCHEDULE. 
          THEY KIND OF FILL THAT IN. THAT COULD EVEN BE A WORK IN YOUR CLASSROOM DAY AND NOT
NECESSARILY A PD DAY. 
          AND THAT COULD COME AS A DIRECTIVE TOO, FROM THE SOUP TO LET PEOPLE VOTE. 
          WELL, LET'S REAL QUICK, WHEN DO WE START OUR SUMMER SCHEDULE WHERE THE OFFICES ARE CLOSED ON FRIDAYS? THAT ALWAYS IS AFTER THE LAST THING WE DO IS WE WORK THAT AROUND WHATEVER THE SCHOOL YEAR
TURNS OUT TO BE. 
          SO IT'S USUALLY, I BELIEVE IT USUALLY STARTS THE WEEK OF GRADUATION. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN 27, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN 20,
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ALREADY IN 26, BUT WE'RE IN 2025-26. SO HERE IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS OF SCHOOL TILL WE'RE GONE AND THEN WE'RE
BACK AND WE'RE IN 26, SO THE NEXT SUMMER WOULD BE THE 26 EXCUSE ME,
SUMMER. 
          AND SO THAT WOULD BE THAT FRIDAY, PROBABLY THE WEEK OF GRADUATION. 
          SO THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE 4TH OF JULY LOOKS LIKE WE'RE OBSERVING THE HOLIDAY ON A
FRIDAY. 
          WE SHOULD PROBABLY BUMP THOSE TO MONDAYS? IF THE DISTRICT IS ALREADY CLOSED ON FRIDAY? I PUT THAT IN THERE AS A AS SHOWING AND THAT'S LESS FOR BECAUSE BY THEN ALL OF OUR
TEACHERS AND ALL OF THE CAMPUS STAFF ARE OFF CONTRACT, SO THEY'RE NOT WORKING. AND I BELIEVE ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATION IS OFF
CONTRACT OR WILL HAVE JUST STARTED THE CONTRACT, I GUESS. I THINK WE'RE CLOSED THAT WHOLE WEEK,
THOUGH, FOR THOSE DAYS OF THE 4TH. 
          OKAY AND I PUT THAT ON THERE SO THAT THEY GET A PAID HOLIDAY. 
          I MEAN, WE COULD MOVE THAT TO THE 6TH. MONDAY THE 4TH IS A SATURDAY,
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO CHEAT THEM OUT OF THE DAY SINCE THEY. 
          I WAS JUST THINKING OF THE SUMMER SCHEDULE BUT BUT YEAH,
YOU ALL CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I DON'T NEED TO THINK WE'VE GONE TO INSTEAD OF BANKING WHAT THEY CALL NON-DUTY DAYS BECAUSE WE HAVE WE
HAVE ADMINISTRATORS THAT ARE PAID ON 226 OR 230 DAY CONTRACTS. 
          AND NO MATTER HOW YOU COUNT IT IF YOU START AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY 1ST,
WHEN YOU COUNT ALL THE DAYS YOU'RE WORKING 226 ENDS AROUND THE 20TH OF JUNE ISH. OKAY SO WHAT THEY USED TO DO IS PEOPLE WOULD JUST SORT OF WORK THROUGH ANYWAY,
AND THEN YOU WOULD GET THOSE DAYS TO TAKE OFF LATER, BUT THEN YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE ACCOUNTING PROBLEM AND PEOPLE BUILDING THEM UP AND ALL THAT. 
          SO WE HAVE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, LITERALLY CLOSED CENTRAL OFFICE DOWN THAT WHOLE
WEEK. 
          OKAY. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IF WE'RE OFF ANYWAY ON FRIDAY AND WE'RE DEPICTING
DO THE FRIDAY OFF IN THE SUMMER. OKAY. JUST OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL CAN CHASE THAT DOWN BUT
YEAH. 
          MR. SAVOY TO YOUR POINT, I REMEMBER BEING ON THE CALENDAR COMMITTEE SOME AGES AGO,
AND WE MOVED TO THE SUGGESTED THAT WE WOULD DO THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN. 
          AND I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, JUST ATTENDANCE MEANS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. 
          AND I'M ALSO GLAD THAT WE CONTINUE TO KEEP MY BIRTHDAY AS A FOUR DAY WEEKEND,
OCTOBER 10TH. WRITE IT DOWN, EVERYBODY [LAUGHTER]. YES I DIGRESS. WELL, WHAT WE DID, WHAT WE DID IS A LOT OF THOSE USED TO BE WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE
THE FLEXIBILITY ON MINUTES. 
          WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF THE DAY TO SQUEEZE IN A FEW MORE DAYS OFF. 
          THOSE USED TO ALL BE LIKE THREE DAY WEEKENDS FOR STUDENTS,
BUT STAFF NEVER GOT A BREAK, RIGHT? IT WAS A IT WAS A IT WAS ONLY A STUDENT DAY OFF AND A STAFF WORKDAY. 
          SO YOU HAD THE LONG OCTOBER, WHICH WAS REALLY HARD BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS THE ADRENALINE IN
LATE AUGUST AND ALL THROUGH SEPTEMBER, AND THEY'RE UP AND RUNNING AND THEY DON'T THEY CAN'T REALLY CATCH THEIR BREATH TILL
THANKSGIVING. RIGHT? SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE BUILT IN WE BUILT IN A FOUR DAY WEEKEND AND SO ON. THOSE WERE TRADITIONALLY THREE DAY WEEKENDS. 
          EVEN WITH PRESIDENT'S DAY, WE'VE KIND OF MADE THEM FOUR DAY WEEKENDS. 
          SAME WITH GOOD FRIDAY. WELL, THAT WAS A THREE DAY WEEKEND FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY
WAS OFF ON FRIDAY. AND THAT'S ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT THE EXTENDED WEEKENDS, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE GOT IS,
WHY ARE WE OFF ON FRIDAY, MARCH 26TH, 2027? THAT'S ONE WEEK AFTER WE GET BACK FROM SPRING BREAK. 
          THAT IS GOOD FRIDAY. THAT IS A DAY THAT WE TAKE OFF. 
          AND SO THAT IS THE EASTER WEEKEND. AND IT FLUCTUATES ANYWHERE FROM IT'S USUALLY IN APRIL,
BUT SOMETIMES IT'S IN MARCH. 
          SO WE ARE RECOGNIZING THAT IN MARCH. SO WE MADE UP A FOUR DAY WEEKEND AT THE END OF APRIL, SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT LONG STRETCH TO GO FROM MARCH TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR,
BECAUSE ONE OF THE OTHER GOALS THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS IS TO TRY TO SPACE 
          [01:10:03]
BREAKS OUT FOR EVERYBODY AND TO KIND OF KEEP THAT PACING WHERE YOU CAN DO A LOT OF WORK
AND YOU CAN TAKE A BREATH, DO A LOT OF WORK, AND TAKE A BREATH. WE DID NOT PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF APRIL BECAUSE
APRIL IS TRADITIONALLY WHEN IT'S NOT HOLDING THE EASTER WEEKEND. 
          THE STATE BLOCKS ALL OF THAT OUT FOR A LOT OF THE STATE TESTING. 
          SO PEOPLE KIND OF COMMENTED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON OFF IN APRIL. 
          NO, BUT YOU DO RIGHT THERE AT THAT VERY FIRST WEEK IN MAY. 
          MR. RUNKLE. YES THANK YOU, MR. SAVOY. I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU TO GO BACK TO MR. FLORES'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE CALENDAR. SO LOOKING AT OCTOBER ON THAT 30TH THAT IT IS A
STAFF WORKDAY STUDENT HOLIDAY, COULD WE POTENTIALLY NOT MOVE THAT OR COULD WE MOVE THAT TO THE 20TH
INSTEAD AND THEN LEAVE THE SECOND AND THIRD AS A STAFF AND STUDENT HOLIDAY? WHICH ONE WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT? SO WE'RE MOVING OCTOBER 30TH AS A STAFF WORK DAY,
AND THEN MOVING THAT TO NOVEMBER 20TH, AND THEN MAKING A STUDENT STAFF HOLIDAY ON THE 2ND AND 3RD OF NOVEMBER. 
          YOU STILL YOU STILL LOSE A STAFF. YOU STILL HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER STAFF DAY BACK IN THERE. 
          BECAUSE IF YOU JUST MOVE THE COULD WE NOT MOVE IT AROUND SOMEWHERE ELSE IF STAFF ARE WORKING BOTH THOSE DAYS. SO NOW IF THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO WORK ONE DAY,
THEN THEY HAVE TO WORK ANOTHER DAY SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE YEAR. 
          WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. IS THERE ANOTHER DAY,
POTENTIALLY IN APRIL, WHERE THERE'S. 
          BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HEAR FROM MY CONSTITUENTS IS THAT IT'S REALLY
HARD IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER FOR PARENTS TO FIND CHILDCARE. 
          AND SO THAT'S A THAT'S A HUGE THING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. 
          AND ALSO WE ALSO HEARD FROM OUR STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL WHERE THEY KIND OF QUESTION THE
SAME THING. 
          WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DAYS OFF IN OCTOBER? AND NOT A LOT AND NOT ANY IN APRIL,
WHEN APRIL IS SUCH A HEAVY MONTH FOR STUDENTS AND A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK BRAIN BREAK WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE. SO I'M I'LL SUPPORT WHATEVER WE WANT TO DO,
BUT JUST TO KIND OF HELP, I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING POLLING STATIONS,
ESPECIALLY ON THE EAST SIDE, I JUST WENT THROUGH THAT I HAD TO GO VOTE AT THE HOLIDAY INN,
AND I WAS NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT IT. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, OPEN UP SOME SOME FACILITIES FOR POLLING STATIONS TO MAKE IT
EASIER FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO VOTE. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT I WANT STAFF WORKING THAT DAY TOO WHEN
WE HAVE A POLLING STATION OPEN. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY TO FOR THAT TO,
TO WORK YOU WANT YOU WERE WANTING TO MOVE OCTOBER 30TH. 
          TO WHEN? OCTOBER 20TH? NOVEMBER 20TH. ISN'T THE 30TH THE DAY AFTER. 
          AND THEN YOU WOULD JUST START AFTER HALLOWEEN,
THOUGH. WELL, HALLOWEEN FALLS ON A SATURDAY. YEAH, IT'S ON A SATURDAY, SO I JUST PUT SO ON SOME OF THESE SO IT'S THE SAME PATTERN. 
          BUT I WILL TELL YOU, BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING ABOUT THE SAME WEEK IN AUGUST SO THAT WE COULD
ACTUALLY START ON A THURSDAY INSTEAD OF A MONDAY, BECAUSE I BACKED IT UP, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO START ON A MONDAY. WE
SQUEEZED A FEW EXTRA DAYS IN THE 2026-27 SCHOOL YEAR, GOT A LITTLE MORE BREATHING ROOM BECAUSE MEMORIAL DAY IS A WHOLE WEEK AFTER IT NORMALLY
IS, AND MEMORIAL DAY IS THE LAST MONDAY IN MAY. IF MEMORIAL IF MAY ENDS ON A MONDAY,
THE 31ST MEMORIAL DAY IS THE 31ST. 
          IF IT DOES ENDS ON A SUNDAY, THEN MEMORIAL DAY IS LIKE THE 23RD OR SOMETHING. 
          OR, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHATEVER. OKAY THAT'S WHY WE PUT THAT IN THERE. I MEAN, MOVING THE OCTOBER 30TH TO THE 20TH OF NOVEMBER
WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THE STAFF DATE. 
          IF WE CHANGE NOVEMBER 3RD TO EVERYBODY'S OFF THAT DAY,
THEN WE HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER STAFF DAY BACK SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CALENDAR. 
          OR WE'RE ONLY WE'RE ONLY WORKING 186 DAYS, AND BY LAW THEY HAVE TO WORK 187 DAYS. 
          WE'RE NOT, BY LAW, ALLOWED TO REDUCE A TEACHER CONTRACT BELOW 187 DAYS,
SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK EARLIER IN AUGUST OR STAY TILL JUNE 3RD. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THAT I MEAN WE WERE SAYING WITH IT BEING A STUDENT HOLIDAY,
WE, WE CAN USE THE POLLING LOCATIONS BECAUSE THE STUDENT, THE SECURITY MEASURES ARE WHEN STUDENTS ARE THERE IN TERMS OF HAVING TO WRAP THEIR IN
PEOPLE FOR THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY, WHICH WE CAN'T DO TO VOTERS. ON THAT DAY, WE'RE REQUIRED TO GIVE TWO HOURS OFF IF THEY
HAVEN'T ALREADY VOTED. 
          [01:15:08]
THE PROBLEM ONE OF THE THINGS. I'M JUST GOING TO POINT IT OUT IF YOU VOTED EARLY,
THEN YOUR WORK WEEK IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE I HAVE TO WORK MONDAY, BUT THEN I'M OFF TUESDAY AFTER I'VE BEEN OFF ON A THREE DAY LIKE I'M OFF FRIDAY,
SATURDAY, SUNDAY. THEN I GOT TO WORK ON MONDAY AND THEN I'M OFF TUESDAY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT'S A STUDENT. IT'S A STAFF DAY. 
          I GUESS WE'D HAVE A HIGH ABSENTEE RATE PROBABLY,
I WOULD ASSUME, ON THAT MONDAY. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY PLANNED ANY KIND OF PD THAT YOU HAD TO BE AT HOW THAT WOULD WORK. 
          BUT THAT GETS INTO THE MORE NUANCE OF WHAT THEY WOULD USE THOSE DAYS FOR. 
          OKAY WELL, I MEAN, IF THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF WIGGLE ROOM HERE,
THEN I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE MOVE THAT TO A DAY OFF, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE THEM COME BACK ON AUGUST 5TH,
WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF AUGUST 6TH. 
          I'M SORRY DOCTOR WRIGHT WHAT DID I SAID WE COULD JUST ADD ANOTHER DAY OF SCHOOL THERE,
AND IT'D BE A STUDENT SCHOOL DAY AND ANOTHER STAFF WORK DAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT TO DO THAT EITHER SO ONE WAY TO SOLVE IT. WELL, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT SOLVING THINGS,
DOCTOR WRIGHT, WE KNOW THAT. 
          OKAY YEAH, I IF WE IF THERE'S NOT REALLY OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE PAINFUL WHICHEVER WAY
WE DO IT FOR SOME PEOPLE AND NOT ALL, BUT SO ON ELECTION DAY, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AS A STUDENT HOLIDAY,
BUT A STAFF WORK DAY, CAN WE GET SOME CONFIRMATION FROM ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KEEP OUR
TEACHERS AND STAFF IN PD THE ENTIRE DAY, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO,
AND IT'S GOING TO BE A STRESS FREE DAY WHERE THEY CAN GO HANDLE THEIR CIVIC DUTIES? IT'S LIKE THE DAY OFF ANYWAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF TEACHERS THAT HAVE TO DO REQUIRED
TRAINING IN THE SUMMER. 
          OKAY. AND WE HAD IT AS THE EXCHANGE DATE. AND THEN WE WENT. 
          WE TOOK IT TO THE STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL. THEN WE TOOK IT TO DLT. 
          AND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM DLT WAS TO NOT HAVE EXCHANGE DAY ON ELECTION DAY ON A TUESDAY, BUT TO HAVE IT ON THAT MONDAY SO THEY COULD MAKE A THREE DAY WEEKEND. 
          OKAY. IF IF THEY HAD VOTED EARLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY, OKAY. SO I MEAN, WE COULD MOVE IT BACK TO THE EXCHANGE DAY. 
          AND THAT WOULD ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT VERY LITTLE I THINK WE COULD. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN. WE COULD COMMIT ERIC COULD JUST SEND OUT A
DIRECTIVE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. 
          I LIKE THAT AND I THINK. WE'LL DO IT WE'RE ON IT. AND THEN I THINK WE'VE GOT THE PD FOLKS IN HERE. 
          PROBABLY COULD COMMIT TO NOT MAKING THAT A PD TRAINING DAY. 
          OKAY. MS. [INAUDIBLE] SAYS THAT SHE CAN DO THAT. 
          OKAY. ON THE RECORD. OKAY I'M GOOD THANK YOU,
MS. OROSCO. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I LIKE THE CALENDAR AS IT IS,
AND IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A DIRECTIVE IT IS A LAW. 
          SO I MEAN THERE'S THAT [LAUGHTER] YOU DON'T NEED A DIRECTIVE FOR THAT. 
          SO WE CAN JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT. AND HOPEFULLY ALL OUR EMPLOYEES WANT TO GO EARLY VOTE. 
          AND SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING IN LINE OR ANYTHING OF THE SUCH. 
          BUT IF SO WE CAN JUST FOLLOW THE LAW LIKE WE ALWAYS DO AND GIVE THEM THE TWO HOURS THANK
YOU. 
          MR. SEIBEL. THE OTHER THING I SEE ON THIS IS THE TWO STAFF WORK DAYS AT THE END OF THE
2027-28 CALENDAR. 
          I FEEL LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT. THAT IS PART OF THE ACCOMMODATION OF LEAP
YEAR. 
          SO WE HAD AN EXTRA DAY IN THAT YEAR. AND SO INSTEAD OF MAKING EVERYBODY SNEAK IN 188 DAYS, WE [LAUGHTER] ENDED THE YEAR A LITTLE EARLY. THE KIDS BROUGHT THAT UP. 
          THEY SAID STARTING FINALS ON THE WEEK. WE ATTEMPTED TO SORT OF ROLL EVERYTHING FORWARD,
BUT IF YOU BACK ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 2027-28, IT CURRENTLY STARTS ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 12TH. 
          WE COULD ROLL IT UP FORWARD A DAY, BUT THEN WE WOULD BE STARTING SCHOOL ON FRIDAY THE
13TH, WHICH WE KIND OF THOUGHT WOULDN'T BE A GOOD IDEA [LAUGHTER]. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT WORKED OUT THERE. SO THEY TALKED IN THE STUDENT ADVISORY PANEL
FOR FINALS INSTEAD OF STARTING FINALS HARD ON A MONDAY, THAT THEY MIGHT USE THE FIRST HALF OF THAT FINALS DAY WHEN THEY SCHEDULE THEM AT
THE HIGH SCHOOLS TO KIND OF DO REVIEWS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          SO THAT DID COME UP. SO THOSE ARE THE TWO STAFF DAYS AGAIN. 
          YEAH, IT'S KIND OF I KNOW WE DON'T NEED TWO STAFF DAYS AT THE END,
BUT AT THE END, AT THE END OF THE DAY NOT ANY PARTICULAR DAY, JUST AS THE SAYING GOES. YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE YOUR TEACHERS TO WORK 187 DAYS. 
          OTHERWISE IT'S A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS IF THEY'RE NOT SCHEDULED FOR 187 DAYS ON THE
CALENDAR. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT WHAT THAT IS THERE. AND WE GET THROWN OFF A LITTLE BIT IN THE 2027-28
BECAUSE IT'S LEAP YEAR AND YOU HAVE 29 DAYS IN FEBRUARY INSTEAD OF 28. 
          [01:20:06]
WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OF GIVING A 6TH DAY BEFORE STUDENTS START IN AUGUST INSTEAD? A WHAT? A 6TH DAY? YEAH SO TEACHERS COME BACK IN AUGUST 4TH 2027. 
          IF YOU MOVED IT BACK TWO DAYS, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO END SCHOOL ON A MONDAY. 
          NO, NO NOTHING WITH STUDENTS. IT'S JUST INSTEAD OF FIVE STAFF WORK DAYS BEFORE SCHOOL
STARTS ON THE 12TH, TEACHERS COME BACK JUST MAKING SO IF YOU WENT TO 2027, YOU COULD MOVE THE 26TH OF MAY. 
          TO AUGUST 4TH THE PROBLEM, THOUGH, IS YOU'RE REALLY NOT DONE WITH THE SCHOOL YEAR ON THAT FRIDAY,
BECAUSE HALF OF OUR FOLKS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL AND UP WILL BE BACK ON THE 30TH AND 31ST FOR GRADUATIONS SO. I MEAN YOU COULD DO IT, BUT I GUESS THEN YOU'RE KIND OF CUTTING OFF THE START OF THE IT'S LIKE A I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE I
COOK A LOT. 
          SO I'M DOING A CALENDAR IS NOT LIKE MAKING A STEW WHERE YOU CAN SPRINKLE A LITTLE MORE
GARLIC, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CUMIN IN THERE. I KNOW THAT TRUSTEE OROSCO DOESN'T LIKE CUMIN,
SHE SAYS, BUT YOU CAN'T JUST KIND OF SPREAD. IT'S MORE LIKE A NUMBER PUZZLE,
RIGHT? IF YOU MOVE ONE LITTLE NUMBER, EVERYTHING ELSE KIND OF MOVES [LAUGHTER] AROUND IT A LITTLE
BIT. 
          YOU COULD PUT IT THERE. BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE YOU'LL HAVE PEOPLE UPSET THAT YOU'RE
CHOPPING A DAY OFF THEIR 2027 SUMMER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PICK UP WHEN YOU GET IT. 
          YOU GET, I GUESS, A FOUR DAY WEEKEND, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO COME BACK RIGHT AWAY FOR
GRADUATION. 
          BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE TWO DAYS AFTER MEMORIAL DAY ARE OUR FIRST DIBS DAYS AT STRAHAN. 
          AND I KNOW THEY'RE BOOKING UP EVEN, LIKE PINK SHIRTS AND A LOT OF OTHER ONES,
THEY DON'T FIT WHERE THEY WERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO THEY'RE A LOT OF PEOPLE, A LOT OF COMPETITION FOR THE STRAHAN ARENA SPACE DURING
GRADUATION WINDOWS. 
          BUT I MEAN, YOU COULD YOU COULD DO THAT. IF YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT I WOULD I WOULD HARKEN BACK TO THE SURVEY RESULTS JUST IN GENERAL,
WE STILL I MEAN, WE HAVE A 84.5% FAVORABLE RATE ON THE 2026-27, AND WE'VE GOT THE NEARLY THE SAME AMOUNT,
85.3% A LITTLE MORE ON THE 2027-28. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I GO BY ON ANY OF THE TWEETS I THINK MAJORITY OF THIS IS GREAT. YEAH. I THINK EVERYBODY'S PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL
CADENCE OF OUR CALENDAR AT THIS POINT, AND EVERYTHING IS JUST THOSE ARE KIND OF THOSE ARE THE KIND OF CHECK ALL YOUR STUFF IN AND GO THROUGH ALL YOUR
THINGS. 
          AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WILL NEED THEM MORE OR NOT. 
          OR YOU CAN DO SOME TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES AND STUFF INTO THE YEAR THINGS. 
          THAT'S [LAUGHTER] THAT'S YEAH. STUDENTS ARE GONE. 
          YES. [LAUGHTER] YEAH. I WILL I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THOUGH,
WHAT YOU SAID, THE COMMENTS THAT WE DID GET ABOUT THE THERE ARE THERE'S A GROUP OF FOLKS THAT THAT WOULD RATHER AND IT IS DIFFICULT ON THE ON THE FINDING CHILDCARE ON THOSE DAYS
WHEN WE HAVE THE FOUR DAY WEEKENDS. 
          AND THAT'S KIND OF ALWAYS THE PUSH PULL, IF YOU WILL,
ON A CALENDAR, ABOUT 100,000 PEOPLE WILL SET THEIR LIVES FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. 
          BY THIS CALENDAR. WE HAVE 25,000 STUDENTS, 35,360 EMPLOYEES. 
          WE HAVE ANOTHER 50,000 PARENTS, AND WE HAVE LOTS OF BUSINESSES AND FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY YOUR DAYCARE CENTERS, ESPECIALLY YOUR OTHER NONPUBLIC ENTITY,
EDUCATION THINGS. 
          WE'LL ALWAYS FOLLOW OUR, OUR SCHEDULE. AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK TO IT AND GIVEN THERE'S
THAT MANY PEOPLE, IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF WE COULD FIND SOMETHING THAT WAS PERFECT,
THAT EVERYBODY LIKED AND EVERYBODY WORKED FOR. AND THAT HAS BEEN KIND OF THE DISCUSSION THROUGH THE YEARS ON, DO YOU HAVE MORE BREAKS OR DO YOU TRY TO JUST KIND OF RUN IT ALL THE
WAY THROUGH SO THERE ISN'T THAT NEED FOR CHILDCARE AT THESE RANDOM TIMES? AND THE WE WANT A BETTER PACING, WE WANT MORE BREAKS HAS WON OUT,
IF YOU WILL. 
          BUT NOT TO SAY OR DISCOUNT THAT. THAT'S A LEGITIMATE CONCERN THAT WE DO SEE ON SOME OF THE
COMMENTS. 
          BUT I GUESS I GO BACK TO WHEN YOU GOT AN 85% FAVORABLE AND A 15% NOT FAVORABLE RATING. 
          THAT'S A PRETTY, PRETTY POSITIVE MARK, I GUESS. 
          ON WHERE PEOPLE FEEL ON THE CALENDARS. OKAY THANK YOU. TIM. JOHN, I'M GONNA GO BACK TO YOU,
LAST COMMENT IF YOU HAVE ANY FINAL. 
          NO THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THE YOU KNOW, AGAIN YOU KNOW,
THE CALENDARS I THINK ALL IN ALL LOOKS GREAT. 
          [01:25:06]
MY POINT ABOUT ELECTION DAY WAS ALLOWING OUR STAFF TIME TO VOTE,
WHICH WAS ON THE RECORD AS TRUSTEE RUNKLE SAID ALSO ABOUT AND THIS IS A SEPARATE AGENDA ITEM, PERHAPS. HOWEVER, IT DOES RELATE TO THE CALENDAR IN YOU KNOW,
HAVING OUR FACILITIES, CAFETERIAS AND THE GYM, FOR EXAMPLE, AVAILABLE WHEN YOU SAID,
YOU KNOW, TEACHERS WORK IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. ABSOLUTELY. BUT IT IS RELATED TO OUR CALENDAR THAT WE COULD GENERATE REVENUE AS WELL. 
          THE DISTRICT AND HAVING POLLING LOCATIONS. RIGHT? BUT THAT'S A SEPARATE DISCUSSION FOR LATER. WAIT FOR POLLING? NO. YES, FOR POLLING LOCATIONS. WE DON'T CHARGE,
I DON'T THINK WE CAN. 
          YES YEAH. 
          CALENDAR. IT'S GREAT. AND THANK YOU MR. SEDILLO FOR ADDRESSING THAT. 
          JUST ALLOWING OUR STAFF TIME ADEQUATE TIME TO VOTE. 
          OKAY GREAT THANK YOU TIM, APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT THANKS. ALL RIGHT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE
ON TO J.6. 
          THIS IS OUR BUDGET AMENDMENTS. NOW, MS. OTTMERS,
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS IS THE BUDGET AMENDMENT IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT PASS, AND THIS WILL NEED TO REMOVE IT FROM OUR BUDGET FOR THE 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR,
TEAM DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. OTTMERS ON WHAT THIS ADJUSTMENT IS? NO? OKAY TEAM. 
          ALL RIGHT SO. I MOVE THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
J.1, J.3, J.4, J.5, AND J.6 AS PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. 
          SECOND BY MR. FLORES, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0. ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE'RE MOVING ON TO K.2 ON PAGE 36. 
          [K.2. Consideration and possible adoption of a Resolution that will Revise the Prior August 2025 Adopted Tax Rate and set the Rollback Property Tax Rate for Tax Year 2025 and Fiscal Year 2025-2026]
THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION THAT REVISED THE PRIOR
AUGUST 25TH, 2025, ADOPTED TAX ADOPTED RATE, AND SET THE ROLLBACK PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR THE 25 FOR THE
2025 AND FISCAL YEAR 2025 AND 2026. MS. OTTMERS YOU WANT TO COME ON UP AND WORK YOUR OTTMERS EFFECT ON US? THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT SEVERANCE, BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
DOCTOR WRIGHT. 
          SO BACK IN AUGUST, WE HAD COME UP WITH A HIGHER TAX RATE AND A TAX RATE ELECTION. 
          AND BECAUSE THAT DID NOT PASS, WE HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AGAIN AT OUR TAX RATE AND ASK FOR ANOTHER APPROVAL. SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A ROLLBACK TAX RATE. 
          MEANING WE WERE GOING TO HAVE $1.2746. AND NOW WE NEED TO ROLL IT BACK TO NOT NECESSARILY EXACTLY WHERE WE HAD IT,
BUT THAT IS ONE OF OUR OPTIONS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO IS THE MAXIMUM THAT WE CAN HAVE WITHOUT THE PASSING THE
TAX RATE ELECTION. 
          AND SO IN THE WORDING IT'S PRESCRIBED WORDING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN THE MOTION. 
          AND IT'S CONFUSING. SIMILAR TO THE BALLOT LANGUAGE. 
          IT SAYS IT'S A TAX RATE ELECTION OR INCREASE WHEN AND SO IN THIS CASE WE ARE BRINGING IT TO THE EXACT SAME TAX RATE. 
          WHAT IT, WHAT IT WAS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND SO TO THE NORMAL EYE THAT'S NOT AN
INCREASE. 
          HOWEVER, WE HAVE TO CALCULATE WHAT IS CALLED THE NO NEW TAX RATE. 
          SO DO CITIES, SO DO COUNTIES. AND THAT IS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT PROPERTY VALUES GO UP. 
          AND SO IF YOUR TAX RATES STAYING THE SAME IN ESSENCE THAT'S INCREASING IT. 
          SO PART OF THE PRESCRIBED LANGUAGE IS THAT IT IS A INCREASE. 
          IT'S COMPARING TO THE NO NEW REVENUE. AND SO THAT IS NEARLY A 5% INCREASE IN THAT SENSE. 
          AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IN THE LANGUAGE THAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT A PERCENTAGE INCREASE. 
          AND EVEN THOUGH OUR TAX RATES ARE THE SAME BASED ON THE MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS OF NO
NEW REVENUE, THEY'RE SAYING THAT'S AN INCREASE. ADDITIONALLY,
WE HAVE TO SAY THE INCREASE ON THE TAXPAYER OF 
          [01:30:09]
$100,000 HOME WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT MEANS. AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SAYING IT'S A
PERCENTAGE TAX INCREASE, THE DOLLAR INCREASE IS ZERO, WHICH OF COURSE MAKES NO SENSE TO TO THE NORMAL PERSON
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING THESE VERY PRESCRIBED CALCULATIONS. AND SO IT'S ZERO INCREASE FOR A COUPLE REASONS. 
          FIRST OF ALL OUR TAX RATE IS NOT INCREASING,
IT'S STAYING THE SAME. 
          SECOND OF ALL, THE HOMEOWNERS EXEMPTION IS $140,000. 
          SO IT'S WHAT DOES IT DO TO $100,000 VALUE HOME IS ZERO. 
          SO IT'S BEEN AT $100,000 FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. 
          THEY'VE NEVER INCREASED THAT AMOUNT OF A HOME. 
          SO IT'S ZERO FOR TWO REASONS IN DOLLAR INCREASE. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE THE INTERESTING WORDS THAT YOU HEAR IN THE VERY PRESCRIBED MOTION. 
          AND ON THE TAX RATE RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE THAT WE WILL PROVIDE TO THE TAX OFFICE AND THEY WILL GET THE BILLS OUT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH
THE SAME TAX RATE THAT WE HAD IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. 
          THANK YOU MS. OTTMERS FOR EXPLAINING THAT. I KNOW IT'S CONFUSING,
BUT WE HAVE TO COMPARE THE INCREASE TO WHAT THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE WOULD HAVE BEEN. 
          IT'S NOT A REAL INCREASE, BUT WE HAVE TO SAY IT JUST FOR THE LEGALITY OF WHAT THE STATE OF
TEXAS REQUIRES US. 
          OKAY, TEAM, LOOK TO MY RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. OTTMERS ON MY LEFT? ANY QUESTIONS? NO? OKAY,
TEAM. 
          I MOVE THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SET THE ROLLBACK
PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR THE 2025 AND FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026, AS PRESENTED. THE TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
THAN LAST YEAR'S RATE. 
          THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 4.53%,
AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $0 ANNUALLY. SECOND BY MR. VELA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 6-0. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MS. OTTMERS. OKAY. TEAM ON K.3 ON PAGE

DOCTOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE THIS PHONE UPGRADE IS A COMPLETE PHONE UPGRADE. OUR SYSTEM IS TOO OLD AND ALSO ONE OF THE OTHER KEY FACTORS. 
          WELL, IT'S OVER TEN YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE OTHER KEY FACTORS IS WHEN WE PUT IN THE PHONE
SYSTEM, IT WAS SHORETEL. WELL, SHORETEL WAS BOUGHT BY MITEL FIVE YEARS AGO. 
          SO FOR FIVE YEARS THEY SUPPORTED SHORETEL. THEY WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT SHORETEL. 
          WE CONTINUE TO ADD ADDITIONS TO SCHOOLS AND NEW SCHOOLS. 
          WE CAN'T ADD ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS SOFTWARE VERSION THAT CAME OUT,
SO WE HAVE TO UPGRADE. 
          SO WE TOOK IT TO THE VOTERS. THEY APPROVED THE BOND. 
          THIS IS ALL COVERED BY THE BOND. THANK YOU AND NOTABLY,
IT'S LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE BOND. 
          SO WELL JOB WITH PROCURING THAT PROCURING THAT ITEM.

PHONE TO JUST EVERYTHING ON A COMPUTER? YOU MEAN LIKE THE SOFT PHONES ON THE WE USE THEM FOR INTERCOMS TOO. AND ALSO SOME EMERGENCY CALLS SO. 
          [01:35:04]

AGREEMENT WITH GOFORTH SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT AT TOM GREEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          YES, SIR. I KNOW YOU HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY ON THIS,
PAINSTAKINGLY, I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A LOT OF A LOT OF WORK ON YOU, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT YOU WANT TO KIND OF GIVE US WHERE WE FINALLY LANDED. 
          YES, SIR GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT. ON PAGE 44 WE CAME HERE IN JANUARY,
AND WE HAD THE NONSTANDARD AGREEMENT FROM GOFORTH. AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE LOOKING AT ABOUT AROUND
$338,000 FOR THE ADDITIONAL SERVICE FOR TOM GREEN. WE HAD THAT WAS BASED ON,
I BELIEVE, AN ERRONEOUS NUMBER WE HAD REPORTED TO THEM, X NUMBER OF STUDENTS AT TOM GREEN. AND THEN WE LOOKED AT THE HISTORICAL DATA AND THERE WAS
QUITE A FEW MORE. 
          AND SO WE WENT BACK AND LONG STORY SHORT, WE REEVALUATED IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
REQUEST WENT FROM $338,000 TO $147,000, I GUESS, OR SOMEWHERE AROUND 60%. AND THEN WE ALSO,
IN THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT, REMOVED ANY REFERENCES TO IMPACT FEES AND SAID CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEES INSTEAD. SO THOSE WERE THE TWO MAIN THINGS. 
          AND WE DID ACTUALLY GO TO THEIR BOARD MEETING AND TELL THEM THAT THAT Y'ALL TOOK NO
ACTION. 
          AND THEN WE DID THESE OTHER THINGS. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE MAX,
TEAM LOOK TO MY LEFT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? ALL RIGHT, MR. RUNKLE.

INCREASES NOW THAT YOU'VE KIND OF IT SEEMS LIKE GO FORTH IS KIND OF GOING THROUGH THEIRS. 
          WILL YOU PROVIDE THEIRS AS SOON AS YOU HAVE THEM? YES, MA'AM AND I THINK WE DID WE THAT WE ACTUALLY BUY WATER FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT ENTITIES. 
          AND SO WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET THOSE RATES, IF YOU'LL JUST ADD THAT TO THAT SPREADSHEET SO THAT WE CAN SEE THAT,
THAT'D BE GREAT TEAM ALL RIGHT. SO I MOVE THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE NONSTANDARD
