OKAY. GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES.

DR. AZAIEZ AND THE ROUND ROCK ISD STAFF HERE TONIGHT.

I'M JARED STERLING AT THE BOARD PRESENT ON BEHALF OF THE ROUND ROCK PARTNERS IN THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OUR STAFF WERE HONORED TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT A SYMBOLIC CHECK IN THE AMOUNT OF $707,000.

THIS CHECK IS REPRESENTING THE PROGRAM SUPPORT FROM THE FOUNDATION TO THE DISTRICT DURING THE 2021 2022 SCHOOL YEAR AND OVER THE PAST 21 YEARS, THE FOUNDATION HAS DONATED OVER $8.7 MILLION TO THE DISTRICT.

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FUNDING THE SUPPORT FOR THIS PAST YEAR INCLUDE PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE RESOURCE BOUTIQUE, WHERE WE PROVIDED EMERGENCY SUPPLIES FOR FOOD, SNACKS, HYGIENE KITS AND MANY OTHER ITEMS. WE HAVE GAMES AND SNACKS GIVEN TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO SUPPORT OFFICER ENGAGEMENT.

WE'VE SUPPORTED CAMPUS NURSES WITH EMERGENCY FIRST AID KITS, UNDERGARMENTS, SOCKS, DIABETIC NEEDS 800 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAGS.

PARTNERSHIP. PARTNERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT AND PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS.

WE'VE HAD INSTRUMENTS FOR MUSIC THERAPY.

YOU ALSO MAY SEE THE MUSIC THE DOGS FOR AROUND AS WELL, WHICH EVERYBODY LOVES TO PET.

AND THEN WE PROVIDED OVER $150,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GRADUATING SENIORS, $130,000 IN TEACHER GRANTS, MONETARY SUPPORT FOR TEACHER OF THE YEAR, WINNERS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND INCLUDED NEW PROGRAMS FOR ALL NEW TEACHERS WITH A NEW TEACHER KIT WITH THE ABILITY TO KIND OF SHOP THROUGH ADDITIONAL DONATIONS. YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE IT'S BROAD REACHING OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO TOUCH.

SO AS AN INDEPENDENT 501(C)3 FOUNDATION, WE'RE COMMITTED TO MEETING AS MANY NEEDS AS POSSIBLE FOR THE DISTRICT.

THIS YEAR. WE'RE ADDING NEW STAFF TO SUPPORT MORE NEEDS AT NO COST TO THE DISTRICT.

AND SO TODAY WE'RE HERE WITH THE CHECK AND WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT IT TO YOU.

AND THANKS. AND I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE EMILY, WHO'S A PARTNERS AT EDUCATION FOUNDATION, AND MELISSA, WHO'S WITH THE PTA ON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

THANKS SO MUCH, JARED.

WE SO APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE PI FOUNDATION.

MY TEAM AND I WORK REALLY CLOSELY WITH THE STAFF AND THE BOARD AND THEY ARE AWESOME.

[00:10:03]

WE HAVE A TRUSTEE RECOGNITION, ONE OF ONE OF THE FOLKS STANDING UP THERE IN 2020.

TRUSTEE AMY WEIR WAS ONE OF A SMALL GROUP OF TRUSTEES FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN A ONE OF A KIND PROGRAM THAT ELEVATES THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS OF EXPERIENCED BOARD MEMBERS THROUGH A YEAR LONG JOURNEY.

EACH LEADERSHIP TASB COHORT MEETS FOR A SERIES OF SESSIONS THAT FOCUS ON FINDING SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGES PUBLIC EDUCATION FACE TODAY AND HEAR NATIONALLY KNOWN SPEAKERS AND EXPERTS IN EDUCATION AND BUSINESS ADDRESS TEAMWORK, TRUSTEESHIP, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP.

TEAMS ALSO WORK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON EXTENDED LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS BETWEEN MEETINGS.

LEADERSHIP TAB IS A RIGOROUS PROGRAM AND IT IS OUR HONOR TO RECOGNIZE TRUSTEE WEIR FOR COMPLETING THE PROGRAM AND EARNING THE DESIGNATION OF MASTER TRUSTEE TONIGHT LEADERSHIP TASB ALUMNUS AND FORMER AUSTIN ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBER AMBER ELLENS WILL BE PRESENTING TRUSTEE WEIRD WITH HER MASTER'S CERTIFICATE.

SO WELCOME TRUSTEE ELLEN'S.

THIS. THIS IS YOUR.

CONGRATULATIONS. TRUSTEE.

WEIR. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE ALLEN'S.

SO SHE'S RECRUITING AND TRUSTEES.

YOU CAN TAKE YOUR SEATS.

WE'LL BE SHOWING THE VIDEO HIGHLIGHT NEXT.

TONIGHT'S VIDEO HIGHLIGHT SHOWCASES OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING CAMP THAT TOOK PLACE THIS SUMMER TO HELP PREPARE INCOMING SIXTH GRADERS FOR THE BIG TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE SCHOOL. WHILE THERE, THEY FOCUS ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS, HOW TO MANAGE STRESS LEVELS, WORKING AS A TEAM AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

OUR SEL CAMPS AS WE'RE ENTERING YEAR TWO, WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS OPPORTUNITY AS STUDENTS APPROACH THIS INTEGRAL TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE.

SO IT IS FOR RISING SIXTH GRADERS AS A CHANCE FOR THEM TO BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER.

THERE'S AHEAD OF THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO THIS IS A WAY TO SUPPORT THEM IN SOME CRUCIAL SKILL BUILDING.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE FRIENDS AND TEAMWORK BUILDS UP, AND IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO BE HERE AND TEAMWORK HELPS YOU AND GROW AND LEARN THEIR THINGS.

WE'RE FOCUSING A LOT ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS, WITH HOW TO MANAGE YOUR OWN STRESS LEVELS, TEAMWORK AND A LOT OF COMMUNICATION WORK AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR FOCUS FOR OUR THEME FOR THIS YEAR.

THE BEST THING I'VE LEARNED SO FAR IS THE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOW DO YOU TALK TO SOMEBODY IF YOU'RE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE OR JUST TALKING TO THEM NORMALLY AND TRYING TO GET THE CONVERSATION TO GO? HOW YOU WANT TO ON THE TRANSITION ALONE IS STRESSFUL.

AND SO IF WE CAN PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE'RE HELPING KIDS UNDERSTAND AND VALIDATING, YOU KNOW, THAT IT IS STRESSFUL AND THAT THEY HAVE TOOLS ALREADY THAT THEY CAN USE, BUT THEN WHAT ARE SOME OTHER TOOLS THAT MAYBE THEY NEED MORE PRACTICE WITH, MAYBE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT TO THEN INDIVIDUALIZE TO FIND WHAT WORKS FOR THEM? YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY IT BECAUSE IT HELPS BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE AND REALLY HELPS PEOPLE GO INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SO IF YOU DON'T ATTEND THIS CAMP, YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE LOST AT FIRST AND THEN IT'LL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO RECOVER.

BUT IF YOU GO TO THIS CAMP ON THE FIRST DAY, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE SECTION OF THE WHOLE MEETING EVERY MONTH ON OUR REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

AND I ALWAYS SAY IT, BUT YOU NEVER FAIL TO DISAPPOINT ME.

HOW AMAZING STUDENTS AND STAFF AND TRUSTEES THAT WE HAVE UP UP HERE ON OUR DAIS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER FOR US.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS PORTION OF THE AGENDA AT EACH BOARD MEMBER EXCUSE ME, AT EACH BOARD MEETING.

[E. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

SINCE THIS IS A REGULAR BOARD MEETING, AS WE ASK FOR ALL WE ASK, IS IT CONCERNS YOUR COMPLAINTS REGARDING SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS NOT BE RAISED IN THIS PUBLIC FORUM?

[00:15:04]

THE BOARD REQUESTS THAT COMMENTS, WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, BE COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL.

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE AUDIENCE AND THE VIEWERS THAT THE COMMENTS OF THE SPEAKERS REFLECT THEIR OWN OPINIONS.

ALSO, AS A REMINDER, THE BOARD ADOPTED AN ANTI HATE RESOLUTION ON JANUARY 20TH, 2022, WHERE THE BOARD REAFFIRMED ITS COMMITMENT TO THE WELL-BEING AND SAFETY OF ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, SEX, GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DISABILITY, AGE, OR POLITICAL BELIEFS, AND STANDS AGAINST SPEECH THAT INCITES HATRED AND VIOLENCE TOWARDS ANY PERSON.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK, THAT RIGHT IS NOT UNLIMITED.

PER TEXAS PENAL CODE 38.13, 42.01, 42.02, 42.05.

AND TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 37.105.

NO AUDIENCE MEMBER OR SPEAKER WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ANY CONDUCT THAT IS DISRUPTIVE OR THREATENING TOWARD ANY SPEAKER OR OTHER PERSON, OR TO VIOLATE THE PRIVACY RIGHTS OF ANOTHER PERSON.

THE BOARD SHALL NOT TOLERATE DISRUPTION OF THE MEETING BY MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE.

IF, AFTER AT LEAST ONE MORE INDIVIDUAL WARNING FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICER, ANY INDIVIDUAL CONTINUES TO DISRUPT THE MEETING BY HIS OR HER WORDS OR ACTIONS, THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS TO HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL REMOVED FROM THE MEETING.

THE BOARD MAY NOT DISCUSS OR ACT UPON ANY MATTER THAT IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE ACTION PORTION OF THE AGENDA.

THEREFORE, BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT DISCUSS THE COMMENTS OF THE SPEAKERS.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT A LACK OF RESPONSE FROM BOARD MEMBERS DOES NOT INDICATE, INDICATE AGREEMENT OR APPROVAL OF THE COMMENTS.

EACH SPEAKER WILL BE GIVEN 2 MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.

TRUSTEE HARRISON WILL BE THE DESIGNATED TIMEKEEPER.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS REBECCA MELLISE, SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3 AND K4.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES.

CENSURE IS THE ONLY OPTION.

YOU HAVE TO HOLD A TRUSTEE ACCOUNTABLE.

I KNOW THE SURVEY FEEDBACK ON TUESDAY WAS HARD, BUT KNOW THIS.

THE TEACHERS KNOW EXACTLY WHO THE DISRUPTERS ON THE BOARD ARE.

IT'S EXTREMELY PRIVILEGED FOR TWO TRUSTEES TO STAGE A PLANNED WALKOUT AT THE JUNE 16TH MEETING AND PUT THE MORTGAGE, RENT, FOOD, UTILITIES, ET CETERA. AT RISK FOR 7000 CUSTODIANS, LIBRARIANS, TEACHERS AND OTHER STAFF.

SHOW THOSE 7000 VOTERS THAT YOU HEAR THEM BY HOLDING THESE TWO DISRUPTORS ACCOUNTABLE IN THE ONLY MANNER YOU HAVE.

NO ONE BOUGHT THEIR LIES ON WHY THEY LEFT.

PRESIDENT FELLER, YOU SAID THAT NIGHT THAT NO ONE WAS A HERO.

THAT IS TRUE. WE SHOULDN'T NEED TRUSTEES TO BE HEROES.

WE JUST NEED TRUSTEES TO DO THEIR JOBS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS LAUREN HINES.

IT'S I THINK, HINES OR MINNS SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM M AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

IS IT HINES OR MENZ? HINES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

I'M HERE, UNFORTUNATELY, TO VOICE MY SUPPORT FOR THE CENSURE OF TRUSTEE WESTON.

MY RATIONALE IS TWOFOLD.

ONE, THE STAGE TO WALK OUT ON PASSING THE BUDGET COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AND STRESS IN OUR DISTRICT.

SECONDLY, THE SELF-INDULGENT, LONG WINDED DIATRIBES KEEP STAFF MEMBERS HERE UNTIL TEN, 11, MIDNIGHT, EVEN LATER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH LITTLE TO NO VALUE ADD IN MY OPINION.

I LOOK AT THESE STAFF MEMBERS AND I WORRY THAT THIS TOXIC ENVIRONMENT THAT'S CREATED WILL CAUSE KEY TALENT TO LEAVE.

WE NEED TO INTERVENE.

AND THEN FINALLY, DR.

JOHNSON, ON A LIGHTER NOTE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY WELCOME TO THE BOARD.

I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE.

AND I THINK JUST IN WATCHING YOU IN ONE MEETING, IT WAS VERY CLEAR, YOU KNOW, YOUR QUESTIONS WERE POIGNANT.

YOUR VISION IS STRATEGIC AND FOCUS.

AND YOU CAN HELP KEEP THIS BOARD ON TRACK, KEEP THEM FOCUSED ON THE GOALS, KEEP THE CONVERSATION MOVING.

SO WELCOME ABOARD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS DONNA TUCKER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3 AND K4.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YES. SORRY.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT IT'S RAINING, BUT THUNDERSTORMS MAKE ME HURT ALL OVER.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE CENSURE THING.

A FEW MEETINGS AGO, I BROUGHT LISTS OF WHY EVERYONE ON THE BOARD SHOULD BE CENSURED.

I THINK YOU HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET RID OF DANIELLE AND MARY BONE.

UM. AND THEN THERE WAS THE EFFORT TO MOVE TO SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS.

AND I WANT TO APPLAUD THE TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A POLITICAL PLOY TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE

[00:20:10]

SO YOU CAN DO THINGS.

YOU CAN HAVE MORE MEMBERS THAT AGREE WITH YOU.

IF EVERYBODY JUST AGREES, YOU DON'T GET A WIDE VARIETY OF OPINION AND UNDERSTANDING.

SO I WOULD SAY THAT'S WHAT'S BEST IS TO LEAVE IT UP TO THE ELECTION.

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD NEARLY FOUR YEARS, YOU KNOW YOUR RECORD AND I READ THAT GOVERNANCE CULTURE REPORT AND IT WASN'T A POSITIVE FOR THE FOUR OF YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS MARK COSTENBADER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K2 AND K3.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YES, I DO. DANIELLE WESTON AND MARY BONE HAVE SHOWN THEMSELVES TO BE BITTER ENEMIES OF ROUND ROCK ISD TAXPAYERS, STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF AND PUBLIC EDUCATION AT LARGE.

THEIR MISSION IS TO SABOTAGE OUR KIDS SCHOOLS BY BLOCKING PAYCHECKS TO TEACHERS, WASTING TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS AGAINST THE DISTRICT AND FELLOW TRUSTEES.

AND HALTING THE DISTRICT'S BUSINESS BY REFUSING TO ATTEND OR EVEN SCHEDULE MEETINGS.

WHEN THEY DO ATTEND, THEY COME PREPARED WITH EXCUSES.

BUT UNPREPARED FOR THE MEETING ITSELF.

THEY WASTE BOARD TIME INDULGING IN CULTURAL PANIC, GRANDSTANDING, IRRELEVANT ASIDES FEIGNED IGNORANCE AND UNRELENTING BASELESS ATTACKS DEPRIVE THE BOARD AND OUR CHILDREN OF TIME THAT SHOULD BE SPENT WORKING ON THE POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR ALL STUDENTS.

THEY DO THIS TO PREVENT THE DISTRICT FROM MEETING A TEA GOAL AND THEN HYPOCRITICALLY MOAN ABOUT HOW LITTLE BOARD TIME IS SPENT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES.

BONE AND WESTON ARE CHAOS AGENTS HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THE DISTRICT TO BURNISH THEIR POLITICALLY RADICAL BONA FIDES AND A LUST FOR POWER AND ILL GOTTEN FAME.

THEY CLAIM TO BE FOR ALL FAMILIES, BUT IN REALITY ONLY REPRESENT THE FAMILIES THAT ADHERE TO THEIR NARROW AND EXCLUSIONARY WORLDVIEWS.

THEY SOW DIVISION, HATE, ANIMOSITY AND VIOLENCE ACROSS THE POLITICALLY CHARGED, ANGRY AND RABID FAN BASE.

THEY ENCOURAGE THIS FAN BASE TO ATTACK FAMILIES STANDING IN OPPOSITION TO THEIR EFFORTS TO DESTROY OUR SCHOOLS.

IT'S WELL PAST TIME THAT THE TERRIBLE TWO ARE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR PREMEDITATED, RECKLESS ACTIONS BASED ON THEIR OWN SELF-INTEREST, NOT IN THE INTEREST OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I STRONGLY FAVOR CENSURE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THE VIOLATION OF DUTY, LAW, POLICY AND STANDARDS ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO THE BOARD, THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS RICKY NELSON SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM H6, G1 AND E1.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I JUST DECIDED TO PUT IT ALL IN CASE YOU MOVE SOMETHING OFF AND I COULDN'T BE SHUT OFF AGAIN LIKE THE LAST MEETING.

I'M HERE TO TALK AGAIN ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY.

I WEAR THIS SHIRT, I WEAR THIS THING ON MY WRIST EVERY DAY TO HONOR WHAT HAPPENED IN PARKLAND.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SAFETY MEETINGS, I DON'T CARE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHIEF.

I DON'T CARE. THAT WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT. YOU NOR YOU WERE AT A FALL MEETING BECAUSE I WAS THERE OR THE SUMMER MEETING I WAS THERE.

YOU SKIPPED WELL, CANCELED THE SPRING AND YOU DIDN'T ATTEND THE SUMMER.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAKING SURE OUR CAMPUSES ARE SAFE.

NOTHING.

I CAN TELL YOU YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THE LAW BECAUSE I SAT AT THOSE MEETINGS.

I KNOW WHAT WE REQUESTED FROM THAT SAFETY.

I CAN TELL YOU, SINCE 2018, I HAVE BEGGED THIS DISTRICT AND YOU WERE COPIED ON THESE EMAILS ALONG WITH FLORES, ALONG WITH NIKKI.

YOU WERE ON THE BOARD, TOO.

ID BADGES. WHY DON'T WE HAVE THEM? IT'S UTTERLY RIDICULOUS THAT ON THIS CAMPUS YOU HAVE 3500 KIDS.

AND THEY, MATT GROFF IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK IN THEIR PICTURE.

THEY CAN'T TELL WHO'S ON THIS CAMPUS.

THE SUBS DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW THAT CADEN WAS IN YOUR CLASS ONE DAY WHEN THERE WAS AN EVENT, AND HE WAS PETRIFIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY FOR HIM TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

IT WOULD TAKE GROFF 3 HOURS TO LET THE PARENTS KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

I STRONGLY URGE YOU, GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN 2019 WERE COACH BLACK, WENT ABOVE GROFF, WENT ABOVE CARLY AMAKER AND SAID, THESE ARE WHERE WE'RE FAILING.

THIS IS WHY THE STUDENTS WHO WERE THREE BLOCKS AWAY DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A LOCKDOWN, SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOCK OUT, NOT A LOCKDOWN, LACK OF TRAINING, LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY, LACK OF SUPERVISION ON YOUR PART.

AND IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT YOU ALLOWED THESE MEETINGS NOT TO HAPPEN, PERIOD.

NO. YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS ROB LEM SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM.

ALL OF THEM. AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

[00:25:01]

JOHNSON. I SAW YOUR INTERVIEW ONLINE AND THE LAST BOARD MEETING, AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE A VERY GOOD ADDITION.

AND I HONESTLY HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO WIN REELECTION IN NOVEMBER TO CONTINUE TO BE ON HERE SO YOU CAN REALLY HAVE SOME EFFECTIVE STUFF FOR THIS BOARD.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO SUPPORT DR.

BONE AND DANIELLE WEST AND THIS WHOLE WITCH HUNT IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY CULPABILITY.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THE FOUR MEMBERS THAT USED TO BE FIVE, BUT THERE WAS A QUITTER AND THE FOUR MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS.

AND THEN LOOK AT THE RESULTS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN IN THIS DISTRICT.

THEY'RE COMPLETELY DISGUSTING.

THE FACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF KIDS ARE 30% OR THERE'S ONLY 30% OF KIDS THAT ARE AT GRADE LEVEL.

AND YOU GUYS GOT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THAT.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OUTVOTE THESE TWO ON EVERY SINGLE THING YOU WANT OR DON'T WANT.

SO SOME PEOPLE GOT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

IT'S NOT THESE TWO OK.

IT'S YOU AND YOU.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS HAVE HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC THE INVESTIGATION FROM HIM BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW AND YOU DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW THAT HE SHOULDN'T BE ON THIS.

IN HIS POSITION RIGHT NOW.

IT'S UNCALLED FOR.

IT'S RIDICULOUS WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.

SO YOU GUYS GOT TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND QUIT GOING AFTER THESE TWO BECAUSE THESE TWO HAVE ONLY BEEN RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR ALL THE STUDENTS AS FAR AS EDUCATION, MATH, ENGLISH, SCIENCE, ET CETERA.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY YOU GUYS GOT TO FOCUS ON WHAT THE KIDS NEED, NOT YOUR GAMES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS KATIE KAISER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K-3, K-4 AND I-1.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YES. HI. I'M A PARENT IN THE DISTRICT.

GOOD EVENING, BOARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

I WANT TO FIRST VOICE MY SUPPORT FOR THE FIVE DAY PAID LEAVE FOR COVID FOR STAFF.

HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR STRAIN, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SYMPTOMATIC FOR A LITTLE LONGER.

SO IF IT WAS SIX DAYS, IT WOULD DEFINITELY GO OVER A WEEKEND AND ALLOW STAFF TO ACTUALLY GET PAST THE CONTAGIOUS PHASE.

I THINK THAT WOULD GREATLY REDUCE SPREAD IN THE SCHOOLS.

BUT FIVE AT A MINIMUM FOR SURE IS NEEDED.

ON K THREE AND K FOUR.

I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS CENSURE OF THESE TWO TRUSTEES.

BASED ON THE DOCUMENTS ATTACHED TO THIS AGENDA ITEM, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS FOR WALKING OUT OF THE BUDGET MEETING AND REFUSING TO SCHEDULE MEETINGS.

I WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT THOSE MEETINGS AND I WITNESSED FIRSTHAND THE PETTINESS AND THE POLITICS, AND IT IS SICKENING THAT YOU ALL WOULD RISK STAFF PAY FOR YOUR GAMES.

I WATCHED AS YOU FLAT OUT REFUSED TO GET OUT YOUR CALENDAR TWICE AND EVEN LOOK AT DATES.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER REASONS FOR CENSURE AS WELL, INCLUDING HOW YOU MISHANDLE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND HOW YOU MISHANDLE MEDIA ENGAGEMENTS.

THE TWO OF YOU HAVE BROUGHT LOTS OF DISTRUST AND DIVISION TO OUR DISTRICT.

I HAVE MORE, BUT IT'S NOT VERY NICE.

I'LL SAVE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS TERI RAMIREZ SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3 AND K4.

AND YOU DO NOT LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YOU KNOW, I'M A FORMER TRUSTEE, 2010, 2018.

AND THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM THAT CAN UNDERSTAND HOW COURAGEOUS IT IS TO STAND BEFORE THE PUBLIC AND TO STAND FOR THE PUBLIC.

AND I WANT TO SAY THIS.

IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE CENSURED TONIGHT.

I AM PROUDLY STANDING BEFORE YOU.

I WAS CENSURED FOUR TIMES.

FOUR TIMES FOR STUPID STUFF.

YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I ASKED QUESTIONS.

BECAUSE I ASKED AND I ASKED AND I DIDN'T GIVE UP.

POOR "MASTER" TRUSTEE WEIR HAS TRIED TO GET YOU UNDER ETHICS.

WELL, THAT FAILED.

AND THEN THERE WAS A OUT OF DISTRICT.

NOBODY TRYING TO GET YOU THROWN OUT IN THE COURT.

THAT FAILED.

SO ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE VESSA FELLER HARRISON AND WEIR IS TO CENSURE YOU.

THAT'S IT.

AND THE SUPREME COURT THINK THE GOOD LORD SAYS THEY CAN'T PUT A SCARLET LETTER ON YOU, BUT I'D PROUDLY GIVE YOU A SEAT TO WEAR BECAUSE YOU'RE STANDING UP AND YOU ONLY US THREE UNDERSTAND THE EVIL THAT RESIDES IN THE BOARDROOM.

IT IS EVIL PEOPLE AND I DON'T SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S EVIL.

AND ONLY YOU TWO RIGHT NOW HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAND FOR THE PEOPLE.

[00:30:04]

YOU KNOW THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SET ANOTHER MEETING AND YOU LIKE TO DO THAT.

SO THERE WAS NO TEACHER JEOPARDY.

THESE TWO WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT.

SO LET GO OF THE NARRATIVE.

TAKE A CENSURE LIKE A LADY AND KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU.

AND ALL THERE IS IS GIVING THEM A NARRATIVE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.

SO STAND STRONG, BE BOLD AND BE COURAGEOUS BECAUSE IN NOVEMBER.

YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. FIVE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR SEATS.

GOOD NIGHT. SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K THREE AND K FOUR.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

HELLO, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS CHUY SUARTE AND I STAND BEFORE YOU IN SUPPORT OF THE CENSURE OF TRUSTEES WESTON AND BONE.

AS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU SWORE AN OATH UPON TAKING OFFICE TO UPHOLD THE VALUES OF INTEGRITY AND SERVICE TO OUR STUDENTS.

YOU'RE ACCOUNTABLE TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU'RE COMPELLED TO PRIORITIZE YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE STUDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY OVER YOUR PERSONAL AMBITIONS.

ON JUNE 16TH, TWO OF YOUR MEMBERS STOOD ON A SOAPBOX.

INSTEAD OF STANDING UP FOR THE STUDENTS ON JUNE 16TH, TWO OF YOUR MEMBERS THEATRICALLY WALKED OUT ON THEIR DUTY KNOWING THEY WERE SACRIFICING PROGRESS FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR.

THEY KNOWINGLY BROKE QUORUM TO HOLD OUR STUDENTS HOSTAGE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.

THIS ACTION SHOULD HAVE A CONSEQUENCE.

WE'RE ASKING YOU NOW TO CENSURE YOUR FELLOW TRUSTEES FOR VIOLATING THEIR SWORN DUTY TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR STUDENTS.

WE ASK YOU TO CENSOR SO THAT WE CAN RETURN TO THE BUSINESS OF PRIORITIZING THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS.

I DO NOT ENVY THE DECISION BEFORE YOU.

WHEN YOU ANSWER THE CALL TO PUBLIC SERVICE, YOU HOPE TO SERVE THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY BY ACHIEVING COMMON GOALS THAT LEAD TO PROSPERITY.

THIS CENSURE IS A DIVERSION FROM YOUR TASK, BUT A NECESSARY CONCLUSION THAT WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD.

WITHOUT RECONCILIATION, I FEAR THIS BOARD WILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE TO FOCUS ON THE STUDENTS.

WE CAN ASPIRE TO A HIGHER POTENTIAL IF WE WORK TOGETHER.

THIS SHOULD BE WHY YOU SIT THERE.

SOME OF YOU I TRULY ADMIRE FOR YOUR STEADFAST DEDICATION TO THE STUDENTS OF THIS DISTRICT.

THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED FOR OUR KIDDOS THAT ARE HAVING TO BE SET ASIDE BECAUSE CERTAIN MEMBERS REFUSE TO STAND BY THE ETHICS THAT THEY WERE SWORN TO UPHOLD. DO NOT SHRINK FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOW.

HOLD FAST TO THE FIERCE BELIEF THAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE BETTER.

CENSURE THESE TRUSTEES SO WE CAN SHED THE WEIGHT OF PARTISANSHIP AND DONNED THE CLOAK OF PROGRESS.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO OUR VIRTUAL SPEAKERS.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH JENNIFER WHITE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K2, 3, AND 4 .

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

JUST GIVE US JUST A SECOND TO GET SWITCHED OVER.

OKAY. NOT ON THE CALL.

NEXT IS MEGHNA ROY SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3 AND K4.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? I DO. AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS TIME TODAY TO REPRESENT A LOT OF PEOPLE.

I'M SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF ITEMS K3 AND K4, WHICH IS CENSURING TRUSTEE, BONE AND WESTON.

SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTED, THEY HAVE DISABLED PUBLIC COMMENTS AND BLOCKED PEOPLE FROM THEIR NON PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AS TRUSTEES.

THEY FREQUENTLY BREAK LAWS AND TRUSTEE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

THEY ALSO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT INTERNAL RRISD WORKINGS WHICH ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND ILLEGAL TO AID THEIR FRIENDS WHO ARE SUING THEIR DISTRICT. NOW THEIR FRIENDS ARE HERE ATTACKING PRIVATE CITIZENS.

THE OUT OF DISTRICT NOBODY THAT GOT CALLED OUT BY AN OUT OF DISTRICT EX TRUSTEE.

HE WAS AN RRISD PER PARENT ACTUALLY PRICED OUT FROM THE DISTRICT.

SO PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE FOR THE LACK OF BETTER TERM AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD ALSO GOOGLE THIS EX TRUSTEE WHO RESIGNED AND REALLY FIND OUT THE INFORMATION.

MOST RECENTLY, THE TRUSTEES, "THE TERRIBLE TWO" TRUSTEES WON'T INVEST AND WALK AWAY FROM THEIR FIDUCIARY DUTY OF APPROVING A BUDGET SO THAT OUR TEACHERS AND DISTRICT STAFF CAN GET PAID. THEY BROKE QUORUM, LEAVING THOUSANDS OF PAYCHECKS PAYCHECKS IN JEOPARDY.

[00:35:04]

AND THANKS TO HIGH QUALITY PLANNING FROM TRUSTEE FELLER.

AND THANKS OF COURSE, FOR TRUSTEE HARRISON AND TRUSTEE VESSA TO HANG IN THERE SO THAT THE EMPLOYEES WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR PAYCHECKS.

TRUSTEE BONE AND WESTON WOULD BE FIRED FROM THEIR PRIVATE JOBS IF THEY PERFORMED SIMILARLY.

THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TO CENSURE THEM AND SET AN EXAMPLE TO THEIR FRIENDS WHO ARE WANTING TO GET ELECTED TO THE BOARD AND WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM TO BRING THIS DISTRICT DOWN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS JOHN CAGY SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3 AND K4.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I DO NOT SEE HIM ON THE LIST.

NEXT IS JACK SMITH SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM M1 AND M2.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? YES. I JUST WANT TO SAY, CENSURE BONE, CENSURE WESTON.

IT'S LONG PAST DUE. THEY LIED ABOUT WHY THEY LEFT THE MEETING.

THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IS JACK CHILDS SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM K3, K4, M1 AND M2.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? ONE DAY I'M GOING TO REMEMBER I HAVE TO UNMUTE MYSELF AT THE START OF THIS.

AS ALWAYS, I'LL BE BRIEF. I SEE WE'VE GOT MICHELLE EVANS AND ALEX STRINGER'S PLANTS IN THE AUDIENCE, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT MFL IS FINALLY BITING BONE AND WESTON SINCE THEY'RE THE HAND THAT FED THEM.

THEIR CENSURE IS WELL AND TRULY DESERVED.

I DON'T JUST SAY THAT SPEAKING AS SOMEBODY WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE PAY NOT GOING THROUGH WHEN THEY WALKED OUT ON THE BUDGET MEETING.

I SAY BECAUSE OF THEIR RETALIATORY ACTIONS AGAINST DISTRICT EMPLOYEES, THEIR ACTIONS FROM THE DAIS TO HARASS THEIR CRITICS.

AND DANIELLE, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT ORR ABOUT YOUR IPAD FROM TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE WHOLE REASON, THOUGH, THAT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS CENSURE IS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE REASON THAT DANIELLE IS GOING THROUGH THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE OF MOMS FOR LIBERTY AND MICHELLE EVANS OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS.

IT WASN'T MINE THAT STARTED HER PROBLEMS. LOOK BACK THROUGH THE 2021 LISTS AND YOU'LL SEE THAT MICHELLE EVANS, LEADER OF MOMS FOR LIBERTY AND SOMEBODY DANIELLE AND MARY, BOTH CAMPAIGNED FOR, SUBMITTED OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS THAT CONTAINED THE PRIVILEGED EMAILS THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE THING.

THAT'S RIGHT, DANIELLE.

MARY. ALL YOUR LEGAL BILLS, ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, THEY'RE ALL LAID AT THE FOOT OF SOMEBODY YOU TRUSTED AND CAMPAIGNED FOR.

HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT.

ENJOY YOUR CENSURE.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS CHRISTIE SLAPE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM F1, J2, M1, AND M2.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I DON'T SEE HER ON THE LIST.

WE HAVE ONE OFF TOPIC AGENDA.

SPEAKER ALEXA DAWSON SPEAKING OFF THE AGENDA SAYS YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

I AM A TRANS ACTIVIST AND I PERFORM AS A DRAG QUEEN ON FOURTH STREET IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, ON THE WEEKENDS. I REALLY LOVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO LIKE CREATE A LIKE A REALLY INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU'RE ACCEPTING PEOPLE LIKE ME TO LIKE, READ TO STUDENTS AND WHATNOT, ESPECIALLY AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL.

BUT HONESTLY, WE'VE GOT TO STEP IT UP A LITTLE BIT, AND I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO PERFORM MY ROUTINE FOR THE STUDENTS.

SO I'VE DECIDED TO LITTLE CRAFT A LITTLE PERFORMANCE FOR YOU GUYS.

LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE IT.

HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, I CAN REALLY PERFORM FOR THE KIDS AND REALLY SHOW THE ACCEPTANCE OF DRAG AND PERFORMANCE.

SO LET'S GO, GUYS.

LET'S KEEP ORDER. CAN YOU STOP THIS TIME FOR A MOMENT? WE'RE GOING TO NEED THIS TO BE SPEAKING.

NOT WE ONLY ALLOW PUBLIC SPEAKING.

WE DON'T ALLOW PERFORMANCES AND DANCES, BUT I AM YOUR.

GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE WITH YOUR TIME.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SPEAK.

THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE TIME.

IF YOU WANT TO PERFORM, YOU NEED TO CONTACT ADMINISTRATION.

THANK YOU, GUYS. YOUR TIME IS RUNNING.

I'LL GO AHEAD. AND YOU GUYS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LOVING AND INCLUSIVE TO THE TRANS COMMUNITY.

AND I'M A TRANS WOMAN.

I'M A DRAG QUEEN. I PERFORM AND I LOVE THAT YOU LET ME, YOU KNOW, READ AND PERFORM AND DO ALL THIS STUFF FOR CHILDREN.

WE HAVE THE PRIDE EVENTS. I LOVE THAT STUFF AND I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM MY ROUTINE FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, SPECIFICALLY IN PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN.

[00:40:04]

I REALLY WANTED TO DO IT. I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD REALLY SHOW HOW PROGRESSIVE AND LOVING AND HOW FORWARD THINKING YOU GUYS ARE.

AND THIS IS REALLY MAKING ME SAD.

THIS IS THIS IS BIGOTRY.

WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW BY NOT LETTING PERFORM, IT'S WHITE SUPREMACY.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER, I WOULD FIGURE THAT YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP AND POSSIBLY CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM.

MAYBE YOU WERE EVEN AT THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6TH WITH ALL THE Q-ANONS.

BUT THIS IS REALLY DISGUSTING.

I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED. I THOUGHT YOU WERE AN ALLY TO ME AND PEOPLE LIKE ME.

GOOD DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE THREE SPEAKERS TO JUST CHECK TO SEE IF THEY ARE ONLINE.

JENNIFER WHITE, JOHN CAGE AND KRISTY SLAPE.

I DO NOT SEE THEM ONLINE.

THAT IS THE END OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF THE AGENDA.

AND ARE WE PREPARED TO GO TO OK? ALL RIGHT. SO AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO AGENDA ITEM F1, WHICH IS THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, ALSO KNOWN AS THE SHACK.

[F. SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS]

THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM THAT WAS POSTED FOR JUNE 16TH AND TRIED TO GET AS MUCH AS OF THAT I COULD ON THE ON TUESDAY'S AGENDA, BUT THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

SO WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE THEM HERE TONIGHT AND WE ARE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DR.

AZAIEZ. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT FELLER AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

SO RYAN IS WITH US TONIGHT.

AND WE ALSO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE JUDGE BROWN WITH US TONIGHT.

SO SHE WILL ACTUALLY LEAD THE PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT FELLER, DR.

AZAIEZ, EVERYBODY, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR SHACK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

SITTING UP HERE WITH ME IS JUDGE MARTINEZ JONES, AS WELL AS DR.

MONICA FAULKNER. AND THEY HAVE BEEN TWO INCREDIBLE LEADERS WITH THE SHACK THIS YEAR.

THEY'RE GOING TO LEAD THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

BUT BEFORE THEY BEFORE THEY DO THAT, I JUST DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE ALL THE MEMBERS ON OUR SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE OF MINE OVER THIS, MY FIRST YEAR IN THIS ROLE TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE THAT COMMITTEE.

AND IT'S REALLY BEEN A MODEL, I BELIEVE, OF OF COOPERATION AND LEARNING FROM ONE ANOTHER AND WORKING TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH SOME OF THE BEST IDEAS FOR FOR OUR STUDENTS.

A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT.

THE FIRST PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE THE REGULAR ANNUAL SHACK RECOMMENDATIONS.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NEW TO THE BOARD, THE SHACK WORKS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO CREATE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THEY SHARE IT THEN WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS I WILL TAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM ADMINISTRATION AND THEN I'LL SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD.

AND THEN IT'S REALLY UP TO THE BOARD AND YOUR COURT IF YOU WANT ANY ACTION BASED ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

ALSO TONIGHT, DR.

FALKNER, SHE LED THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE SHACK, WHICH LOOKED AT THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SEXUALITY CURRICULUM FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THEY WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR US TO IMPLEMENT THIS COMING SPRING.

THAT'S WHEN THAT THAT CURRICULUM HAPPENS.

SO SHE'LL LEAD THAT THAT PRESENTATION IN JUNE.

WE DID BRING THIS TO TO THE BOARD.

WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION THAT EVENING.

THE RECOMMENDATION ON THE CURRICULUM ACTUALLY WAS PASSED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT EVENING.

HOWEVER, ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS A PUBLIC PRESENTATION OF THAT RECOMMENDATION.

SO WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK HERE TONIGHT FOR A REAFFIRMATION OF THAT THAT THAT VOTE OR THAT MOTION.

SO WITH NO FURTHER ADO, A LOT OF TIME FOR QUESTIONS AFTER.

BUT I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER NOW TO JUDGE JONES, AND SHE'S GOING TO LEAD US THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO SAY IT HAS BEEN MY HONOR TO WORK WITH MR. SMITH. AND THIS SHACK OF REALLY COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, CULTURES, PHILOSOPHIES AND PERSPECTIVES.

THIS GROUP HAS DONE A BEAUTIFUL JOB TO BRING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER, TO BRING TO YOU ALL THE REPORT THAT WE HAVE TODAY THROUGH OUR HARD WORK THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. I'M GOING TO TRY AND GO AS QUICKLY AS I CAN THROUGH THIS FIRST PART SO THAT WE RESERVE AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE FOR DR.

FAULKNER. SO I'LL GO THROUGH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS.

YOU DO HAVE A REPORT THAT ALSO TALKS ABOUT THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD AND WHAT WE DID ON THE SHACK LEADING UP TO COMING TO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN I'VE HIGHLIGHTED WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ON THE POWERPOINT, BUT I HAVE GONE A LITTLE BIT MORE THOROUGHLY IN THE REPORT TO DESCRIBE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY SIMPLE, LIKE THIS FIRST ONE THAT CAME FROM OUR WELLNESS COMMITTEE WITHIN THE SHACK.

AND IT REALLY IS LOOKING AT MAKING SURE WE RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD AND BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS A PARAGRAPH IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOK RELATED TO RECESS THAT HAD BEEN ADDED MAYBE IN THE EARLY TO MID 20 TENS.

AND AS WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT STUDENT HANDBOOK MORE RECENTLY, THAT PARAGRAPH WAS NOT INCLUDED.

WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY, IF THERE WAS A SPECIFIC REASON, BUT IT REALLY WAS A PARAGRAPH THAT JUST DESCRIBED HAVING A RECESS AS A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTE DAILY RECESS THAT WOULD BE REFLECTED IN EACH SCHOOL'S MASTER SCHEDULE FOR GRADES.

I'M SORRY. CAN YOU HOLD ON ONE SECOND?

[00:45:01]

CAN I ASK FOR QUIET FROM THE AUDIENCE? I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT. GO AHEAD. NO WORRIES.

AND REALLY, THE LANGUAGE IS IN THE REPORT.

BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CLEAR WHAT THE LANGUAGE WAS FROM THE PRIOR HANDBOOK AND TO CONTINUE, IT SAYS, AS SCHEDULES ARE ALTERED DUE TO CAMPUS EVENTS SUCH AS EARLY RELEASE, SPECIAL PROGRAMS, GUEST SPEAKERS, ETC., RECESS TIME MAY BE SHORTENED AS NEEDED.

SAFETY RULES WILL BE DEVELOPED, COMMUNICATED AND ENFORCED THROUGH ACTIVE SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS.

AND PRIOR TO LIMITING RECESS TIME AS A DISCIPLINARY ACTION, OTHER CONSEQUENCES WILL BE CONSIDERED.

WE THOUGHT THAT THAT INFORMATION IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOK WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND WERE JUST RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD LOOKS AT INCLUDING THAT AGAIN.

OUR SECOND RECOMMENDATION SIMILARLY IS LOOKING AT THE STUDENT HANDBOOK IN THE SECTION THAT IS ENTITLED CELEBRATIONS.

THERE'S JUST A SUGGESTION TO INCLUDE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THE RIGHTS OF THE PARENTS ARE, WHAT THE ROLES OF THE TEACHERS ARE, AND DECIDING HOW SOME TREATS THAT MAY BE GIVEN IN CLASS FOR CELEBRATIONS BE DISTRIBUTED REALLY OUT OF A TRANSPARENCY CIRCUMSTANCE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT NO PARENTS ARE SURPRISED IF THEIR EXPECTATION OF TREATS BEING BROUGHT TO THE SCHOOL IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE REALITY OF IT IS.

AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION WAS JUST TO INCLUDE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY RELATED TO THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY ON POINT WITH THAT RIGHT OF THE PARENTS. AND ALSO A BIT OF UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS SOME DISCRETION FROM TEACHERS ON HOW IT'S HANDED OUT, WHETHER IT'S SAVED TO THE END OR DISTRIBUTED DURING CLASS. SO THAT'S WHERE THAT SECOND RECOMMENDATION CAME FROM.

OUR THIRD RECOMMENDATION IS RELATED TO THE GARDEN GUIDE BOOK THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY FOOD SERVICES.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT WE HAVE THAT, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT IT COULD USE AN UPDATE.

AND ALSO WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT THE BOARD WOULD CONSIDER UPDATING TO INCLUDE TO SEND OUT TO THE CAMPUSES REGULARLY AND HAVE A PLACE WHERE ALL OF THE SCHOOLS CAN SEE WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS ALREADY HAVE SCHOOL GARDENS SO THAT WE DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL, WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND THAT WE HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE.

OUR FOURTH RECOMMENDATION IS RELATED TO OUR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COMMITTEE AND OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

WE'VE BEEN VERY EXCITED TO SEE ALL THE PROGRESS THAT HAS HAPPENED THROUGH OUR MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS.

AND JUST VERY SIMPLY, WE RECOMMEND TO ESTABLISH CLEAR CRITERIA FOR MEASUREMENTS OF SUCCESS FOR THOSE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

I KNOW THAT THAT WHOLE TEAM HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF COLLECTING DATA AND BEING ABLE TO SHARE WITH US HOW STUDENTS ARE SERVED, BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS OF THE SAME UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE WOULD BE HELPFUL.

AND THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NUMBER FOUR.

RECOMMENDATION NUMBER FIVE IS JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDS ARE EARMARKED FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND NOT TO THE GENERAL FUND.

I THINK THE LANGUAGE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE WANTED TO ADD, KNOWING THAT THAT FUNDING COULD HELP WITH MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE KNOW THE DISTRICT DEALS WITH.

RECOMMENDATION NUMBER SIX IS RELATED TO THE FUTURE READINESS WEBSITE.

WE HAVE A GREAT WEBSITE WITH RESOURCES FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT WE HAD NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GAP IN RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS ABOUT STUDENTS WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRANSITIONING INTO ADULTHOOD.

WE DO HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE AT THAT AGE AND WE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL SPACE TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE SOME OF THOSE RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE GETTING READY FOR THAT TRANSITION.

AND RECOMMENDATION, RECOMMENDATION NUMBER SEVEN, IT DID TAKE A LOT OF THOUGHT, CONCERN AND DELIBERATION.

I BELIEVE THAT OUR WHOLE SHACK WAS OF THE SAME SPIRIT, AND IT TOOK US A LOT OF WORK TO COME TO THE RIGHT WORDING FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BOARD FORM AN AD HOC COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SCHOOL POLICE DEPARTMENT, FROM THE COUNSELING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND ALSO SECONDARY PRINCIPALS.

TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE, WE WANTED TO EXPLORE WHAT THE EXISTING PROCESSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONS IN COMMUNICATION FOR A GENERAL ALERT WHEN THERE ARE WRITTEN OR VERBAL ATTACKS OF STAFF AND STUDENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT ARE KNOWN AND VERIFIED BY DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SO THAT PARENTS ARE AWARE OF RISKS AND CAN MONITOR FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S SAFETY, AND ALSO TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE SHACK AND A SCHOOL BOARD WE HAD BY SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2022.

ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT IN RELATION TO THIS RECOMMENDATION?

[00:50:04]

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THIS RECOMMENDATION HAS COME OUT OF.

AND I JUST WILL SAY IT TOOK A LOT OF THOUGHT AND DELIBERATION ON HOW THIS RECOMMENDATION WAS CRAFTED.

AND THEN OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION IS TO FOLLOW THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND SEXUALITY COMMITTEE'S REPORT IN RELATION TO THE SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE A MORE ROBUST REPORT FROM DR.

FAULKNER. ALL RIGHT.

AND MAYBE IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST FEW RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE WE DO THE PRESENTATION ON THE SECOND ONE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON RECOMMENDATION ONE THROUGH SEVEN? OR WE CAN OR WE CAN DO THE LAST ONE.

HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON RIGHT NOW? I JUST HAD ONE AND WE CAN DO IT IN A MINUTE.

I HAD WRITTEN IT DOWN FOR THE HANDBOOK BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO SCROLL THROUGH REAL QUICK.

DID WE ALREADY ADD THAT PARAGRAPH ABOUT RECESS BACK INTO THIS VERSION OF THE HANDBOOK OR NOT? NO. SORRY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO ASK. YEAH, I THINK WE DID.

BUT I COULD. I COULD DOUBLE CHECK.

AND IF NOT, I THINK.

ALL RIGHT. SO, JENNIFER, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND PULL UP THE OTHER PRESENTATION UNDER THE SEC AGENDA ITEM.

SO DR. FAULKNER WAS THE CHAIR ON THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKED TIRELESSLY OVER THE LAST CALENDAR YEAR TO MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION.

THEY HAD MULTIPLE OPEN HOUSES FOR FOLKS TO REVIEW THE CURRICULUM RECOMMENDATIONS AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SURVEYS THAT THEY USED WORKED WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS TO REVIEW CURRICULUM, CREATED RUBRICS, WENT THROUGH A LOT OF DETAIL ON LOOKING WHAT WAS OUT THERE AND COMING UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER NOW TO DR.

FAULKNER. SHE'S GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THIS NEXT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. FIRST, I WANT TO JUST START OFF BY LETTING YOU ALL KNOW WHO WAS ON OUR COMMITTEE.

SO THAT'S MY NEXT SLIDE.

SO I'M MONICA FAULKNER.

AS RYAN SAID, I CHAIRED THE COMMITTEE.

THE WOMEN THAT I WORKED WITH ON THIS COMMITTEE WORK TIRELESSLY, AND I HOPE YOU CAN INDULGE ME FOR A MINUTE AND JUST THANKING THEM PUBLICLY.

THEY WERE AT GYMNASTICS AND BASKETBALL AND HAD KIDS HANGING OFF OF THEM AND WE WERE MEETING ONCE A WEEK AT NIGHT TO TRY TO DO THIS.

AND WE READ MIDDLE SCHOOL SEX EDUCATION CONTENT AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO AGAIN.

BUT WE DID IT AND WE GOT THROUGH IT.

SO I WANT TO THANK HILARY, ROBIN, KAYLA AND LESLIE, WHO I DON'T I DIDN'T SEE WHEN I WALKED IN, BUT THEY ARE JUST WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

WE DID NOT ALWAYS AGREE BY ANY MEANS, BUT WE HAD A VERY CORDIAL AND RESPECTFUL COMMITTEE.

SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO.

SO THANK YOU. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET RECOGNIZED EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT UP HERE WITH ME AND.

ALL RIGHT. SO I WANT TO START BY JUST LAYING THE GROUNDWORK TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO HERE IN ROUND ROCK, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING I FEEL LIKE FOR MANY YEARS I'VE BEEN ON THE SHACK AND WE HAVE TO START OVER AND EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING RIGHT NOW.

SO IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE HAVE A CURRICULUM THAT WE'VE BEEN USING CALLED LIVING WELL AWARE.

WHEN IT WAS ADOPTED, IT WAS ACTUALLY CALLED WORTH THE WAIT.

THE CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT IN SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES, AND IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY ROUND ROCK TO EXCLUDE SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT THE PURVEYOR HAD INCLUDED IN IT ORIGINALLY.

EACH GRADE IS TAUGHT CONTENT FOR THAT GRADE LEVEL, AND THEN THE MORE MATURE CONTENT IS SAVED FOR THE LATER GRADES.

CAMPUSES RIGHT NOW DECIDE IF THE CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT IN SCIENCE CLASS OR PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSE, AND PARENTS AT LAST SCHOOL YEAR HAD THE OPTION OF OPTING OUT AND THEIR STUDENTS COULD PARTICIPATE IN AN ALTERNATE ACTIVITY.

THAT'S CHANGED, AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.

IN HIGH SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH IS NOT A MANDATORY SUBJECT FOR GRADUATION IN TEXAS.

SO IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, SEX EDUCATION IS ONLY TAUGHT IN HEALTH CLASS, AND HEALTH IS ONLY OFFERED AT CERTAIN HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

THE LAST NUMBER THAT THE SHACK GOT WAS AROUND 50 STUDENTS TAKE HEALTH A YEAR.

SO SEX EDUCATION REALLY ISN'T PRESENT IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WHEN IT IS TAUGHT.

IT'S TAUGHT BY AUSTIN LIFEGUARD, WHICH IS A NONPROFIT AGENCY IN THE AREA.

SO THERE IS A NEED FOR A NEW CURRICULUM FOR FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.

THE FIRST ONE WAS THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

THERE WERE NEW SEX EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS PASSED.

[00:55:03]

THE LAW ALSO REQUIRED THAT BEGINNING IN 2022, DISTRICTS HAVE TO USE A CURRICULA THAT COMPLY WITH ALL THE NEW TECHNIQUES.

THE SECOND ISSUE THAT WE HAD BEEN KNOWING WAS COMING UP FOR A WHILE WAS THE WORTH THE WAIT CURRICULUM.

NOW, LIVING WELL AWARE, THE PURVEYOR OF THE CURRICULUM WAS CHANGING COMPONENTS OF THE CURRICULUM, REALLY MAKING A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT SO FAR, SHE'S ONLY CHANGED THE SIXTH GRADE PORTION, NOT THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE PORTION.

SO IT'S KIND OF A PROCESS FOR THAT.

SO WE DID REVIEW THAT CURRICULUM.

THE OTHER BIG CHANGE THAT'S NOT REALLY PART OF THE CURRICULUM PER SE, BUT IS THE OPT IN CLAUSE.

SO EVERYTHING I'M TELLING YOU NOW FOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SEX ED CURRICULA, PARENTS NOW HAVE TO OPT IN FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO RECEIVE THAT CONTENT.

SO THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET PEOPLE TO SEND BACK PERMISSION FORMS SOMEHOW TO ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE.

SO OUR COMMITTEE IS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CHACK.

AND WHEN WE STARTED, WE KIND OF CAME TOGETHER.

AND I WILL BE HONEST, I WAS INCREDIBLY NERVOUS BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND WE WANT TO TRY TO DO IT RIGHT.

AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW TO DO IT RIGHT.

AND SO WE COMMITTED TO THESE THINGS THAT WE WOULD BE TRANSPARENT, THAT WE WOULD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT STUFF ON ON THE ROUND ROCK SHACK WEBSITE SO THAT PEOPLE COULD REVIEW IT.

WE WANTED TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALL STUDENTS, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE FAIR.

SO GIVING PARENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW A SELECTED CURRICULA AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK.

SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR PROCESS.

AND SO STARTING WITH OUR COMMITTEE, WE MET WITH ROUND ROCK STAFF.

WE MET WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE MUCH MORE WELL VERSED IN ADOPTING CURRICULA AND TEXTBOOKS AND TALK THROUGH WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO FOR THAT PROCESS, WE DEVELOPED A RUBRIC BASED ON THEIR GUIDANCE.

THEY TOLD US, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY NEED A RUBRIC SO THAT YOU'RE EVALUATING EVERYTHING THE SAME WAY.

AND SO WE DEVELOPED A RUBRIC BASED ON THE TECHNIQUES AND THEN BASED ON SOME DISCUSSION WE HAD ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SAW IN THE CURRICULA. WE IDENTIFIED CURRICULA JUST BY TALKING TO PEOPLE, KIND OF PUTTING IT OUT THERE.

IF SOMEBODY SUGGESTED SOMETHING, WE REVIEWED IT.

WE ULTIMATELY ENDED UP REVIEWING EIGHT CURRICULA AND THEN WE AGREED ON THE CURRICULUM TO PRESENT TO THE COMMUNITY FOR FEEDBACK.

WE ALSO REALLY STRONGLY FELT THAT STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK, COMMUNITY INPUT WAS CRITICAL IN THIS PROCESS.

WE REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND OUR VOICES AS PARENTS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES AT THE TABLE, RIGHT? WE WANT TO INCLUDE CONTENT, INFORMATION FROM EVERYBODY.

SO WE DID A SURVEY OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE SURVEYED TEACHERS.

WE HAD A BOOK REVIEW THAT WAS DONE ONLINE AND IN PERSON.

WE I BELIEVE WE WERE ONLY REQUIRED TO DO IT IN PERSON, BUT WE MADE SURE THAT WE HAD ONLINE COMPONENT AS WELL.

THEN WE COMPILE THE FEEDBACK, FINALIZED OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, SUBMITTED THEM THE ENTIRE SHACK, REVIEWED EVERYTHING, AND THEN ULTIMATELY VOTED TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO IN OUR REVIEW CRITERIA, WE USED RUBRICS.

AND AGAIN, THE RUBRICS ALLOWED US TO REALLY GET INTO DETAIL ABOUT WHO'S THE PURVEYOR OF THIS, HOW MANY HOURS IS IT, WHAT GRADE LEVELS IS IT TARGETING? BUT ALSO, WE HAD LISTED ALL THE TECHNIQUES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WENT THROUGH AND REALLY.

WE'RE ABLE TO SEE LIKE, DOES THIS CONTENT ACTUALLY EXIST IN THE CURRICULUM? WE ALSO WERE REALLY MINDFUL OF WHETHER OR NOT A CURRICULUM WAS APPROPRIATE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.

A LOT OF CURRICULA ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON HIGH SCHOOL.

SO THE CURRICULA THAT WE REVIEWED, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT THE BIG ONES, THE TEXTBOOK WHICH WE ULTIMATELY RECOMMENDED, IS THE ONLY TEXTBOOK THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.

IT IS NOT PERFECT.

I WILL SAY WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT, WE KIND OF SAT THERE AND SAID, WHAT DO WE DISLIKE THE LEAST?

[01:00:02]

WE FELT LIKE THIS METHOD.

AND SO WE ULTIMATELY SELECTED THIS ONE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO REVIEW.

THE OTHER ONES THAT WE STRONGLY LOOKED INTO WERE THE LIVING WELL AWARE CURRICULUM, WHICH I JUST MENTIONED THE WORD FORMALLY, THE WORTH, THE WAIT.

WE ULTIMATELY FELT THAT THE CONTENT THAT THE CONTENT FOR SIXTH GRADE WAS IN LINE WITH THE TWEAKS, BUT WE WANTED THE UPDATED VERSIONS FOR SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE ALSO BECAUSE A LOT OF TEACHERS MADE COMMENTS ABOUT SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT THEY WERE TEACHING IN SEVENTH AND EIGHTH AND THEY WANTED THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO.

SO WE DIDN'T BRING THAT FORWARD FOR COMMUNITY INPUT.

WE ULTIMATELY UNANIMOUSLY AGREED ON THE TEXTBOOK.

SO IN TERMS OF STAKEHOLDER INPUT, I HAVE A COUPLE.

WE HAVE A REALLY LONG REPORT WHICH WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF FUN TO DO WITH OUR COMMITTEE.

WE HAD PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN RESEARCH AND ANALYZING DATA AND EVERYONE KIND OF PITCHED IN ON OUR COMMITTEE.

BUT I WANTED TO JUST THROW UP A COUPLE PIECES OF INFORMATION FOR YOU.

SO IN TERMS OF OUR COMMUNITY BELIEFS ABOUT SEX EDUCATION, 84% OF PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE SURVEY AND THIS IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE, SAID THAT, YES, WE SHOULD TEACH SEX ED IN SCHOOLS. SO THERE IS A PORTION OF OUR DISTRICT WHO SAID, NO, WE SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING THIS IN SCHOOLS.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BULK OF PEOPLE WHEN WE ASKED WHEN SHOULD IT BE TAUGHT, MOST PEOPLE AGREED IN THOSE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS.

AND THEN ALSO THE NINTH GRADE WAS.

A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE SAID IN THE NINTH GRADE.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF BELIEFS ABOUT SEX EDUCATION, I WON'T READ THIS EVERY BAR FOR YOU, BUT IT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE PEOPLE WERE WHEN THEY TOOK THE SURVEY.

PEOPLE GENERALLY AGREED THAT YOU SHOULD EXPLORE THEIR PERSONAL AND FAMILY VALUES.

MORE THAN HALF OF THE PEOPLE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE RESPECTFUL AND SHOWED DIGNITY TO LGBTQ POPULATIONS.

SHOULD INCLUDE OPTIONS FOR GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF.

AND I WILL SAY WITH THOSE TWO TOPICS, THERE WERE IT WAS REALLY MIXED IN THE SURVEY.

WE HAD REALLY STRONG SUPPORT, BUT WE ALSO HAD PEOPLE SAYING THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PART OF THIS AT ALL.

WE ALSO HAD STRONG SUPPORT FOR PORTRAYING ALL RACES AND ETHNICITIES RESPECTFULLY, THAT WE SHOULDN'T DEMEAN YOUNG PARENTS OR SINGLE PARENTS.

NOT BLAMING SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS FOR THEIR VICTIMIZATION AND NOT USING SHAME AND FEAR TO EDUCATE YOUTH.

SO MOST OF US THOUGHT THAT THOSE WERE GOOD THINGS AND WE DID INCLUDE THOSE IN OUR RUBRICS THAT WE USED.

SO AGAIN, WHEN WE ASKED PEOPLE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN A SEX ED CURRICULA? THE TOP THINGS I HIGHLIGHTED IN RED HERE, WHICH IS KIND OF HARD TO TO SEE THE CONTRAST, BUT MANY PEOPLE, 80 PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE SURVEY MENTIONED THEY WANTED CONSENT, TALKED ABOUT 71 PEOPLE SAID CONTRACEPTION.

82 PEOPLE MENTIONED THEY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT STDS AND HOW TO KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE.

AND THEN ANOTHER HIGH ONE WAS PUBERTY AND BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN WE DID ASK BECAUSE WE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T RECOMMEND LIVING IN WELL AWARE, BUT MAYBE EVERYBODY LOVES IT.

AND SO MAYBE WE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT.

SO WE ASKED PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN HAD TAKEN THE CURRICULA ALREADY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT'S NOT.

IT WAS KIND OF A MAYBE, RIGHT? THERE WASN'T GREAT SUPPORT FOR IT OR GREAT DISLIKE OF IT.

IT WAS JUST MORE MAYBE KIND OF SORT OF LIKE IT.

WE ALSO ASKED TEACHERS ABOUT IT AND WE GOT THE SAME RESPONSE.

THERE WASN'T A HIGH LEVEL OF YES, IT'S FANTASTIC.

IT WAS VERY NEUTRAL.

AND THEN WE ASKED TEACHERS SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DO YOUTH RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THIS CURRICULUM AS THEY WOULD ANY CURRICULUM? AND MOST OF THEM ARE NEUTRAL ON THAT.

WE ASKED THEM IF IT PROVIDES AGE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION ABOUT SEXUAL HEALTH.

THEY TENDED TO AGREE THAT IT DID.

AND THEN WE ASKED, DO YOU UNDERSTAND IT? AND THEY WERE NEUTRAL ON THAT ONE.

SO BASED ON ALL THIS, WE WE COMPILED OUR RECOMMENDATION.

I WANT TO SAY, THOUGH, OUR BIGGEST CONCLUSION WAS THAT THIS WAS REALLY HARD.

[01:05:02]

AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY DIVERSE OPINIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT THE CONTENT THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

BUT SUPPORT FOR COMPREHENSIVE AND INCLUSIVE SEX ED DID EXCEED THE OPPOSITION IN OUR SURVEY OF PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE SURVEY.

SO HERE ARE OUR SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE FIRST ONE IS ESSENTIALLY THE ADOPTION OF THE TEXTBOOK.

SO WE RECOMMENDED THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ADOPT THE TEXAS HEALTH SKILLS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEXTBOOK, AND THE TEXTBOOK IS FOR GRADES SIX THROUGH EIGHTH.

AND WE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T READ THE ENTIRE TEXT HEALTH BOOK, I WAS LIKE, I CAN'T READ ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO READ THE CHAPTERS THAT WE NEEDED TO READ.

SO WE'RE SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDING CHAPTERS 14, 15 AND 16 BE TAUGHT.

AND THERE'S A COMPANION TEXT THAT HAS ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS ON PUBERTY PREVENTING AND RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE, MAKING REASONABLE SEXUAL DECISIONS, AND THEN SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS IN HIV AIDS.

AND THEN AS PART OF THIS RECOMMENDATION, WE RECOMMENDED THAT A WORK GROUP OF TEACHERS BE ESTABLISHED TO COMPLETE LESSONS PLANS BASED ON THE TEXTBOOK.

WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WE SAID SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS COULD BE USED IF THEY FIT WITHIN A TEACHING PLAN.

AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS THAT PEOPLE FLAGGED WHEN REVIEWING THE CURRICULA THAT WE ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED BE TAKEN OUT.

ONE OF THEM.

SO WE SAID ONE LESSON SHOULDN'T BE USED.

I FORGET THE EXACT REASON WHY, BUT I THINK THE CONTENT WAS JUST KIND OF.

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US, SO WE FIGURED IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE TO TO USE.

IT WAS JUST NOT A WELL DESIGNED ACTIVITY.

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE ACTIVITY THAT WAS A ROLE PLAY THAT WE FELT SHOULD JUST BE A DISCUSSION.

WE ALSO FELT THAT THE PREVENTING OR RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE CONTENT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THAT IS TAUGHT THAT THE COUNSELOR OR SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKER ARE AWARE, IF POSSIBLE, IT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR THEM TO CO TEACH THAT. BUT IF THEY'RE NOT, IF THAT'S NOT A POSSIBILITY, THAT THEY'RE AWARE THAT THAT'S BEING TAUGHT SO THAT THEY CAN BE THERE FOR SUPPORT IF NEEDED.

AND THEN WE ALSO FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT WE WANTED MORE CONTENT ON INTERNET SAFETY.

AND SO WE RECOMMENDED USING THE COMMON SENSE DIGITAL MEDIA CURRICULUM FOR THAT.

AND THEN OUR SECOND RECOMMENDATION IS BASED ON OUR SURVEY, THERE IS THERE IS A DESIRE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THERE TO BE MORE.

SO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AN ABSTINENCE BASED CURRICULUM.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT THEIR KIDS TO HAVE MORE.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT THEIR KIDS TO HAVE LESS.

BUT WHAT WE WANTED TO RECOMMEND WAS THAT THE DISTRICT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS TO RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF TRADITIONAL SCHOOL HOURS, THAT WE HAVE ONE WORKSHOP OR CURRICULUM IN EACH LEARNING COMMUNITY.

PARENTS WOULD OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE PERMISSION FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO ATTEND, AND THEY COULD DO IT ONLINE OR IN PERSON, DEPENDING ON.

WHAT THAT LEARNING COMMUNITY WANTS TO DO.

WE ALSO FELT THAT.

PARENTS WANT INFORMATION TOO.

SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE DISTRICT PROVIDE PARENT EDUCATION CLASSES SO THAT THERE COULD BE A FOCUS ON TEACHING PARENTS HOW TO INCREASE COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR CHILDREN ON THESE TOPICS, BECAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, WHAT TO DO.

AND I HAVE ONE MORE.

AND THEN WE WERE ALSO ASKED TO LOOK AT THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE CONTENT FOR PUBERTY, AND WE RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONTINUE USING THE ALWAYS CHANGING AND GROWING UP VIDEO FOR THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS.

ALL OF THIS IS AVAILABLE ON THE SHAQ WEBSITE, INCLUDING A VERY LONG REPORT, BUT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

LET ME START BY ECHOING YOUR THANKS AND PRAISE TO YOUR COMMITTEE AND ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DID.

AND TO YOU ALSO, YOU DIDN'T MENTION YOURSELF, BUT YOU ALL, BOTH OF YOU ALL JUST REALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE.

I THINK YOU WERE GOING TO GRAB THE MIC, MR.

[01:10:02]

ASIDE FROM BEING PARENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU SAW A LOT OF THEM WITH LETTERS BEFORE AND AFTER THEIR NAMES.

I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A MORE EXPERIENCED GROUP TO REALLY WORK ON THIS, AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THAT RECOGNITION AS WELL AND TO THANK YOU ALL FOR APPOINTING SUCH PEOPLE ONTO THIS. WONDERFUL.

I HAVE A LIGHT WITH TRUSTEE HARRISON.

I DON'T HAVE QUESTIONS PER SAY LEGAL.

I DO. VALERIE.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION THAT I HOPE WE CAN CHAT ABOUT BRIEFLY IN CLOSED SESSION.

I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS DEEP GRATITUDE.

I KNOW THAT THIS WAS DIFFICULT IN A LOT OF HOURS AND I'VE SERVED ON A COMMITTEE WITH BOTH OF YOU BEFORE AND I KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK AND THE DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT YOU BRING.

I WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR RECOMMENDATION TWO.

I THINK THAT THAT'S A WONDERFUL COMPROMISE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF COMMENTARY FROM THE COMMUNITY ON COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION, AND THAT IS A GREAT COMPROMISE.

AND THEN ALSO RECOMMENDATION THREE IS GREAT.

ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAS HER FIRST KINDERGARTNER, AND SO SHE HAD TO WARN HER TEACHER THAT THEY HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT MATURATION AND PREPARE HER.

SO THANK YOU FOR SO THOUGHTFULLY PREPARING THIS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON RIGHT NOW.

SO THERE'S TRUSTEE WESTON.

SO I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION JUST TO GET CLARITY ON SOME THINGS, MOSTLY FOR THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SOME CONFUSION IN THE COMMUNITY. SO IS SEX EDUCATION REQUIRED IN OUR SCHOOLS? IS THAT IS THAT A STATE REQUIREMENT? SO SEX EDUCATION IS NOT A STATE REQUIREMENT.

IT'S A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SHACK AND THEN THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE THAT.

RIGHT. SO LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO OFFER SEX EDUCATION OR NOT.

I THINK THAT'S GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND.

IS IT THE ONLY SUBJECT IN TEXAS THAT HAS TWEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AND APPROVED BY THE CBOE BUT YET IS NOT REQUIRED? NO, THERE'S THERE'S ENRICHMENT COURSES, YOU KNOW, THAT AREN'T REQUIRED, THAT HAVE TWEAKS.

SO IT'S NOT THE ONLY ONE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

WHEN I WENT TO THE SASB, IS IT CALLED GOVERNANCE CAMP IN MARCH IN GALVESTON? I THINK WINTER GOVERNANCE.

I WENT TO THE SHAQ PRESENTATION THERE.

IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING.

I WAS ONE THING THAT SURPRISED ME IS THAT 75% OF THEIR PRESENTATION, SLIDE AFTER SLIDE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, THEY USED TO CALL IT DEATH BY POWERPOINT, BUT IT WAS ALL THESE SLIDES ON NUTRITION.

AND I CAME AWAY THINKING, WELL, I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT I JUST SAT THROUGH A SHAQ PRESENTATION.

I HAD SOME EXPECTATIONS.

I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THIS TYPE OF TRAINING BEFORE, BUT THERE WERE SO MANY SLIDES SPECIFICALLY ABOUT NUTRITION AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT OBESITY.

I SEE YOU NODDING.

AND HOW RAMPANT IT IS AND HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM IT IS.

AND I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS.

I DO SOMETIMES PULL UP YOUR SHAQ MEETINGS BECAUSE JUST ANOTHER THING FOR THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW, THEIR MEETINGS ARE ACTUALLY LIVE STREAMED ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE FOR ANYBODY TO WATCH. AND YOU CAN ALSO GO OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, SEE WHEN FUTURE MEETINGS ARE AND YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR TO REMIND YOURSELF.

BUT WAS THERE ANY I DON'T RECALL HEARING ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT NUTRITION, BUT GIVEN HOW PREVALENT IT WAS AND THE TRAINING THAT I RECEIVED FROM TASB, I'M JUST WONDERING.

IF THAT EVER CAME UP, GEORGE JONES MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADD SOME TO THAT.

BUT WE WERE AT THE MEETINGS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY OPEN ENDED TO TO WHAT THE SHAQ IS THE MEMBERS OF THE SHACK ARE IDENTIFYING AS PRIORITIES AND SOME YEARS I THINK THAT MIGHT COME UP.

SOME YEARS NOT. BUT DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE IN OUR BYLAWS SOME STANDING COMMITTEES AND IT'S THREE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.

OBVIOUSLY, THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND SEXUALITY COMMITTEE, A MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COMMITTEE, AND THEN A WELLNESS COMMITTEE.

AND OUR WELLNESS COMMITTEE IS THE ONE THAT DOES TAKE UP A LOT OF THE NUTRITION ISSUES.

I WILL TELL YOU, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, WE FELT VERY LUCKY THAT WE GOT TREATED TO FOOD THAT WAS PREPARED BY FOOD SERVICES HERE AT ROUND ROCK ISD.

AND THAT WAS PART OF US STAYING UP TO DATE ON WHAT WAS BEING PREPARED AND SERVED TO OUR STUDENTS.

AND THEN WE HAD STAFF THERE AND ADMINISTRATORS THERE WHO COULD HELP ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NUTRITION.

WE DID HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION, ESPECIALLY LAST YEAR AND A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR, ABOUT CONCERNS WITH CAFETERIA STAFF SHORTAGES.

I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO GET ROBUST, NUTRITIOUS MEALS.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND DIFFICULTIES WITH HAVING OUR DELIVERIES AND BEING ABLE TO RECEIVE ALL OF THAT, TO PREPARE THOSE REALLY

[01:15:08]

THERE WAS NO RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO NUTRITION BECAUSE WE DID UNDERSTAND SOME OF IT WAS CIRCUMSTANCES OUT OF ALL OF OUR HANDS.

BUT WE DID ASK QUESTIONS TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE SOME RECOMMENDATION THAT WE COULD MAKE.

BUT WE DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT NUTRITION OFTEN WITHIN THE SHACK.

I'LL TELL YOU, MY MY YOUNGEST CHILD IS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TODAY.

SO, YOU KNOW, A DECADE AGO WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IT WAS REALLY BIG ON THEIR CAMPUS TO LEARN ABOUT.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

SLOW FOOD.

WHOA, FOOD AND NO AND NO GO FOOD.

THANK YOU. AND I REMEMBER REACHING FOR A SNICKERS BAR AT H-E-B ONE TIME AND MY DAUGHTER SAID, MOM, THAT'S A THAT'S A WHOA FOOD.

IS THAT THE RIGHT. NO FOOD, WHATEVER IT WAS.

SO MY POINT IS, I THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE STILL DO THAT, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

IT SPEAKS TO WHAT WAS APPARENTLY TOP OF MIND THAT TAZ B THOUGHT THAT BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE AN AWARENESS OF WITH REGARD TO THE SHACK.

AND I THINK WE AT LEAST USED TO DO IT WELL HERE.

PERHAPS WE STILL DO, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

TRUSTEE JOHNSON SO ONE, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY SPEAKING AS A FORMER HEALTH SCIENCE TEACHER, DEFINITELY LOVED THIS TOPIC IN THIS CONVERSATION AND AS A PART OF THE TEAM AT TIA THAT HELPED DEVELOP THE TECHNIQUES FOR HEALTH, I DO REALIZE WHAT A LABORIOUS TASK IT WAS.

I DEFINITELY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK IN YOUR ACTIVITIES.

I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION.

MY QUESTION WAS, I KNOW WORTH THE WEIGHT.

WHEN I WAS A HEALTH SCIENCE TEACHER AT STONY POINT, WE TAUGHT THAT IN THE PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH SCIENCE CLASS.

SO WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU TOOK A LOOK AT AND THAT IT MADE THOSE CHANGES IN THOSE TWEAKS ALSO, OR THOSE THAT CURRICULUM? OR WAS IT JUST THE HEALTH CLASSES? SO THAT CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL NOW.

I'M NOT SURE WHEN YOU WERE TEACHING IT, BUT IT'S TAUGHT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WORK THE WAY IT IS.

THE LIVING WELL AWARE THEY HAVE CHANGED IT SO IT MEETS THE SIXTH GRADE TWEAKS AND THEY'VE REVISED THE CONTENT AND IT'S A LOT MORE INTERACTIVE.

THEY HAVE VIDEOS NOW.

THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE HAS NOT BEEN REVISED.

MY GUESS IS IT PROBABLY MEETS JUST ABOUT ALL THE TWEAKS, BUT WE DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE, YOU KNOW, WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB SINCE SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF REDOING IT.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES, THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BONE THANK YOU.

AND I WANT TO JUST THANK ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE SHACK AND YOU ALL COME IN TONIGHT AND GIVING THIS OVERVIEW.

WE GOT AN EMAIL TODAY AND IT HAD A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I ACTUALLY WASN'T AWARE OF.

AND SO I WANTED TO ASK AND I DIDN'T SEE THEM IN THE PRESENTATION.

AND ONE OF THEM IS THAT AND I HAVEN'T DOUBLE CHECKED THIS, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A REQUIREMENT THAT FROM THE SHACK THERE ALSO IS A RECOMMENDATION OF NUMBERS OF HOURS TO PROVIDE THIS KIND OF EDUCATION.

BUT I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE PRESENTATION.

I MIGHT HAVE JUST MISSED IT. BUT NO, I DIDN'T MENTION NUMBER OF HOURS.

SO THE WAY WE WROTE THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE'RE A GROUP OF TEACHERS WOULD FIGURE OUT HOW THEY WANT TO DIVVY UP THAT TEXTBOOK.

LIKE WHAT PARTS DO YOU WANT TO TEACH IN SEVENTH? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TEACH IN EIGHTH? WE DIDN'T FEEL QUALIFIED TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

WE FIGURED LEAVE IT WITH THE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS TO FIGURE OUT ON THEIR CAMPUS WHAT'S GOING TO WORK BEST FOR THEM, WHAT'S GOING TO WORK BEST ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

BUT THAT'S WHY WE DO WANT TO BE INVOLVED, THAT CHAT COMMITTEE IN THAT WORK GROUP THAT DEVELOPS BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY BEING IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE FIGURED OUT SOON.

YES. YES.

AND IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A DIGITAL TEXTBOOK.

SO LIKE PURCHASING WISE.

AND WE DON'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO GET US.

SO ONCE IT'S, YOU KNOW, OFFICIALLY FINALLY APPROVED THAT, WE'LL MAKE THAT PURCHASE THEN THEN LOOK AT THOSE CHAPTERS THAT ARE THAT ARE ADOPTED AND THEN WE'LL DEVELOP THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE. I GUESS AS A PARENT, I'M JUST WONDERING, IS IT SOME DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT IT USED TO BE? BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AND IT WAS KIND OF TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, MY GUESS IS IT WOULD BE EVEN LESS THAN THAT, THAT CURRICULA THE LIVING WORLD WHERE I FORGOT EXACTLY HOW MANY HOURS, BUT IT WAS QUITE A BIG CHUNK OF TIME TO TEACH IT.

AND THEN I THINK THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS THAT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT VIOLENCE.

WAS THAT WHAT KIND OF VIOLENCE IS THAT? BECAUSE YOU WERE GIVEN A SEXUAL HEALTH IS IT SEXUAL HEALTH VIOLENCE OR IS THAT JUST LIKE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? WHAT KIND OF VIOLENCE WAS THAT? CAN YOU. SO THE CONTENT REALLY ADDRESSED IN THE TEXTBOOK WHICH DOES MEET THE T-X AND IT'S I FORGET THE ACTUAL TEXT FOR THAT TOPIC, BUT IT'S REALLY TALKING ABOUT INTERPERSONAL HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.

[01:20:02]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON.

OH, YES. MS..

HILL, I WAS JUST GOING TO ANSWER TRUSTEE WHERE.

QUESTION AND YES, THE RECESS HAS ALREADY BEEN INCORPORATED.

IT'S ON PAGE 69 OF THE STUDENT HANDBOOK.

WONDERFUL. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT AGAIN.

TRUSTEES, DO WE NEED TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK BEFORE WE START THE T.A.

ACCOUNTABILITY? YES.

OKAY. LET'S TAKE A I'M NOT GIVING YOU 10 MINUTES BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY BEEN UP HERE FOR AN HOUR AND 50.

SO LET'S TAKE A SEVEN MINUTE BREAK.

657.

ALL RIGHT. IT IS 657.

WE ARE BACK IN SESSION.

THANKS FOR TAKING A QUICK BREAK.

I'LL GIVE YOU MORE TIME NEXT BREAK.

WE ARE MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM F TO OUR TO ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE.

I AM VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THIS PRESENTATION AND WE HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS.

I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO DR.

AZAIEZ. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, ACTUALLY, WE DO.

AND SO WE HAVE WITH US, SIR RYAN, AGAIN, MR. SMITH AND ERICA, TO SHARE WITH US THE PRESENTATION.

BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT SHARING, THAT WE SHOWED A LOT A LOT OF GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT IN OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES AND ALSO IN TA RATINGS FOR OUR SCHOOLS.

AND THAT'S THANKS TO EVERYONE REALLY WORKING HARD, OUR STUDENTS DEDICATION AND TEACHERS AND STAFF, OBVIOUSLY OUR PARENTS SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT WE DO.

AND AS A COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, WE ALL CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT.

AND SO WITH NO MORE DELAY, I'M GOING TO LET MR. SMITH SHARE THE PRESENTATION WITH EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DR. AZAIEZ.

AND DEFINITELY DO WANT TO REITERATE THAT SAW SOME GREAT THINGS, YOU KNOW, ON OUR CAMPUSES AND THEIR IMPROVEMENT.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S ALWAYS PLACES THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT, CONTINUE TO GROW.

BUT THIS IS I FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A GOOD SPOT TO CONTINUE THAT GROWTH GOING INTO NEXT YEAR AS WE HAVE A HOPEFULLY ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR NEXT YEAR AS WELL.

ALSO WANT TO REITERATE THE INCREDIBLE WORK ON OUR CAMPUSES PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS.

THIS IS REALLY A REFLECTION OF THEIR THEIR DEDICATION AND THEIR WORK.

SO IT'S JUST OUR PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY TONIGHT.

I DO WANT TO JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW AS WELL THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS READILY AVAILABLE AT SCHOOLS.

DOT GOV. IT'S A GREAT WEBSITE THE TA PUTS TOGETHER.

THEY ASKED US ALL TO KEEP PROMOTING IT, WHICH I THINK THEY'RE VERY PROUD OF IT AND THEY SHOULD BE BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN PULL UP OUR DISTRICT, GET ALL THE RATINGS, LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION.

YOU CAN LOOK AT EACH DOMAIN FOR EACH CAMPUS.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

YOU CAN PULL UP ANY DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND GET SOME GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT HOW SCHOOLS ARE PERFORMING OVERALL.

BEFORE WE DO JUMP INTO, WANT TO JUST PROVIDE A FEW CLARIFICATIONS TO YOU ON SOME THINGS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THIS YEAR.

SO COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, THE LEGISLATION PASSED SENATE BILL 1369, WHICH THE WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT CAMPUSES AND DISTRICTS FOR THIS YEAR, ONLY THE LABELING THAT THEY USE IS EVERYBODY KNOWS TO USES IN A THROUGH LABELING SYSTEM FOR DISTRICTS AND CAMPUSES.

AND FOR THE 2022 ACCOUNTABILITY THEY USED AN NA FOR ANY CAMPUS OR DISTRICT THAT RECEIVED A SCORE BELOW 70.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SCORE DOESN'T FACTOR INTO THE METHODOLOGY FOR THAT CAMPUS OR FOR THE DISTRICT.

SO ALL THE SCORES COUNT IS JUST THE LABELING OF CAMPUSES AND DISTRICTS THAT FOR THIS ONE YEAR ONLY, IT'S AN R RATHER THAN A DEER AND F AND I FORGOT TO DO ON INTRODUCE AGAIN TONIGHT IS ERICA SIMMONS IS JOINING ME TO HELP ANSWER QUESTIONS.

SHE'S OUR RESIDENT EXPERT ON THE SOMETIMES COMPLICATED ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND SHE'S HERE TO HELP US WITH THAT, AS I DO MY BEST TO EXPLAIN IT.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT IN THEN.

AND WHAT I REALLY START OFF WITH SOME OF THE CELEBRATING SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES THAT THAT REALLY SHOWED SOME OF THE MOST GROWTH BETWEEN 2019 TO 2022.

SO AGAIN, CAMPUSES DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY KIND OF RATINGS IN 2020 OR 2021 DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2019.

AND I WAS HOPING THAT MY BLACK ON WHITE SCREEN WOULD POP A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT MAYBE THAT IS A LITTLE HARD TO SEE.

SO I'LL GO BACK TO WHITE ON BLACK NEXT TIME.

BUT IF YOU DO HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING THAT, IT'S ALL ALL ON OUR WEBSITE BUT REALLY WANT TO CELEBRATE THESE CAMPUSES.

CARLSON ELEMENTARY WENT FROM AN F IN 2019 UP TO A C VOIT CD.

FOLKS IN HERNANDEZ ALL WENT FROM A D TO A C AS WELL.

SO THE GREAT CELEBRATION FOR THOSE THOSE CAMPUSES, I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT THAT MAKES OUR DISTRICT WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEAS OR F OR NON RATED CAMPUSES THIS YEAR.

[01:25:01]

WE DON'T HAVE ANY CAMPUSES WITH OVERALL RATINGS, YOU KNOW, IN THAT YEAR.

SO THAT'S THAT'S A HUGE CELEBRATION.

SO GOING SO ALSO THOSE CAMPUSES THEY'RE ON THE LEFT AND THAT THAT C COLUMN THEY WERE THOSE ARE OUR SEE CAMPUSES FOR THIS YEAR.

MOVING ON NEXT TO OUR B CAMPUSES.

SO SOME CELEBRATIONS AND SOME HIGHLIGHTS WE REALLY WANT TO SHARE HERE.

BLUEBONNET ELEMENTARY, I WENT FROM A C TO A B, WELLS BRANCH, LIVE OAK AND SUCCESS ALSO WENT FROM FROM C'S TO B'S OVER THIS LAST YEAR.

AND THEN FINALLY OUR CAMPUSES THAT RECEIVED THAT A OVERALL RATING.

A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS THAT WE WANTED TO SHOWCASE HERE.

CHISHOLM TRAIL MIDDLE SCHOOL BUMPED UP FROM A B TO AN A AND THEN ALSO FORCED NORTH ELEMENTARY.

ONE OF OUR SMALLEST SCHOOLS JUMPED FROM A C TO AN A.

AND ONE ONE THING THAT'S THAT'S UNIQUE IS THE RIGHT WORD.

BUT BUT DEFINITELY IN PLAY FOR SMALLER SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY ELEMENTARIES, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S YOU CAN SEE BIG SWINGS AND IT'S HARD TO SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER TO MEET THOSE RATINGS BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUCH SMALL NUMBERS OF STUDENTS ON THE CAMPUS.

SO THAT'S A REALLY A GREAT CELEBRATION FOR FOR US NORTH THIS YEAR.

SO I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR I'M GOING TO TALK AFTER THIS NEXT SLIDE ABOUT SOME OF THE HOW THE DOMAINS WORK AND HOW THE METHODOLOGY WORKS.

BUT I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR DISTRICT RATING AS WELL.

SO OVERALL, OUR OFFICIAL TA ACCOUNTABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY RATING WITH OVERALL AS A DISTRICT IS AN 89 ONCE AGAIN.

SO WE'RE A B WANT TO SHOW UP THERE, THOUGH, THAT OUR ACTUAL PERFORMANCE IN EACH OF THE CATEGORIES WOULD HAVE NETTED US A 92 AS AN A.

ONE STIPULATION WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IS IF YOU HAVE ANY, THERE'S THERE'S REALLY TWO.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY CAMPUS THAT RECEIVES A DEER AND F OR A NOT RATED THIS YEAR, THEN AS A DISTRICT YOU CAN'T BE AN A.

THE HIGHEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE IS AN 89.

SO THAT'S ONE ONE ELEMENT WE MET THAT EVERY CAMPUS WAS C OR BETTER ANOTHER ELEMENT DOWN TO THE DOMAIN LEVEL.

AND I'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE THREE DOMAINS ARE HERE IN A MOMENT.

BUT EACH DOMAIN FOR EVERY CAMPUS ALSO HAS TO BE A 70 OR BETTER FOR THE DISTRICT TO RECEIVE A 70 OR BETTER IN THAT DOMAIN OR I'M SORRY, AN 89 OR BETTER IN THAT DOMAIN.

AND SO WE HAD A FEW CAMPUSES IN EACH.

TWO OF THE THREE DOMAINS THAT WERE DID RECEIVE NOT RATED.

SO THAT LIMITED OUR OVERALL RATING.

AND WE HAD ONE CAMPUS IN STUDENT PROGRESS DOMAIN A THAT WAS BELOW 70 SO THAT LIMITED US IN THAT DOMAIN TO AN 89.

SO THAT'S WHAT LIMITED US OVERALL TO AN 89 ONE PIECE THAT I THINK I MIGHT HAVE MISSED A CAMPUS TO CELEBRATE SO I'M SORRY OR THANK YOU ERICA BUT I GADDIS ALSO WENT FROM A C TO A B SO APOLOGIZE TO GET US IS CYNTHIA GRIGGS IS BRAND NEW PRINCIPAL OVER THERE SO I'LL CALL HER AND APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING THAT OUT. BUT SHE DID A GREAT, GREAT JOB, GREAT HOMEGROWN TALENT AS WELL AS SHE WAS A TEACHER IN A SEVERAL DIFFERENT POSITIONS WITH US IN ROUND ROCK BEFORE BECOMING A PRINCIPAL. SO VERY PROUD OF OF HER AND HER CAMPUS WORK.

SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF HOW THE DOMAINS DO WORK.

SO LIKE I SAID, THERE WERE, THERE WERE A FEW DIFFERENT PATHS WE COULD HAVE TAKEN TO GET TO THAT.

A SO I DON'T WANT TO TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT JUST ONE CAMPUS AND ONE DOMAIN BECAUSE THAT CAMPUS DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE ACTUAL STUDENT GROWTH PROGRESS DOMAIN.

THEY WERE A LITTLE LOWER IN THAT ONE THAN THEY WERE IN ACHIEVEMENT.

SOMETIMES YOU SEE IT THE OTHER WAY.

BUT FOR THIS THIS THIS CASE WITH THIS CAMPUS, THEY PERFORMED REALLY GOOD IN ONE AREA AND ANOTHER AREA.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK. AND THAT WAS THAT WAS OUR ONE CAMPUS THAT THAT WAS BELOW IN THAT IN THAT AREA.

SOME OVERALL HIGHLIGHTS AS WELL.

SO WE DID IMPROVE ALL OF OUR OVERALL A AND B RATED RATED SCHOOLS FROM 37 TO 45.

SO IN 2019, WE HAD 37 CAMPUSES IN THAT RB RANGE, AND NOW WE'RE UP TO A 45.

OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DOMAIN GREW FROM A SCALE SCORE OF 92 IN 2019 TO A 93.

WE IMPROVED OUR GRADUATION SCALE SCORE FROM 90 TO IN 2019 TO 95 AND 2022.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAD A 90% GRADUATION RATE IN 2019, BUT IT'S A SCALED SCORE.

SO WE HAD IMPROVEMENT IN THERE.

SO WE HAD ENOUGH IMPROVEMENT TO KNOCK THAT SKILL SCORE UP UP FIVE POINTS.

SO WE WERE ALWAYS IN THE HIGH NINETIES IN THAT IN THAT METRIC.

NINE CAMPUSES, TEN CAMPUSES OVERALL IMPROVED THEIR OVERALL RATING.

AND AGAIN, THAT THAT REALLY THAT BIG CELEBRATION FOR CALLISON ELEMENTARY AND OPEN PENNY THE PRINCIPAL OVER THERE AND PUT IN INCREDIBLE WORK.

SHE WAS NOT THE PRINCIPAL WHEN IN 2019, BUT SHE TOOK OVER RIGHT AFTER THAT.

AND WE'VE SEEN SOME SOME GREAT WORK AND SOME GREAT, GREAT GROWTH ON THAT CAMPUS.

I DO WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE RATINGS ARE ARE PUT TOGETHER AND HOW YOU COME UP WITH ONE LETTER GRADE FOR A CAMPUS.

SO LOOKING AT ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE, THE WAY THAT WORKS IS, IS YOU HAVE ONE DOMAIN, WHICH IS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND THAT'S JUST STRAIGHT PRETTY MUCH STAR PERFORMANCE, ESPECIALLY

[01:30:02]

SO THAT THAT ELEMENTARY MIDDLE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON ON THAT ONE TEST ON ONE DAY FOR THEIR OVERALL RATING.

AND IN DOMAIN TWO, YOU HAVE INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC GROWTH BY STUDENTS WHERE THEY CAN SCORE INDIVIDUAL POINTS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH BETTER THEY DO EACH YEAR.

AND THEN DOMAIN TWO, PART B IS THEIR RELATIVE PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OTHER LIKE CAMPUSES AROUND THE STATE.

AND THEN FINALLY IN THE THIRD DOMAIN, IS THAT CLOSING THE GAPS AND THEN CLOSING THE GAPS.

YOU HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS THAT ARE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THERE.

YOU HAVE AN EMERGENT BILINGUAL PROFICIENCY OF THEIR OVERALL STAR PERFORMANCE.

AND THEN IT FACTORS ALSO IN THE ACADEMIC GROWTH AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

AND THERE ARE CERTAIN TARGETS THAT YOU SHOOT FOR IN THAT.

AND THE WAY THEN YOU COME UP WITH THAT FINAL SCORE IS YOU PRETTY MUCH YOU TAKE THE FIRST YOU LOOK AT YOUR DOMAIN ONE AND DOMAIN TWO AND THAT'S YOUR BEST SCORE OUT OF THOSE TWO.

AND THEN DOMAIN TWO, YOU TAKE THE BEST SCORE OUT OF THOSE TWO AND THAT MAKES UP 70% OF YOUR OVERALL CAMPUS GRADE.

AND THEN THAT REMAINING 30% IS THAT CLOSING THE GAPS? DOMAIN THREE.

AND IF YOU HAVE A SCALE SCORE ABOVE ITS TRADITIONAL GRADING, SO IF YOU HAVE A SCALE SCORE ABOVE 80, IT'S A B ABOVE 90, IT'S AN A ABOVE 70, IT'S A C.

SO THAT'S HOW THAT HOW THAT WORKS.

IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT AT HIGH SCHOOL ON B FACTOR IN COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS AS WELL AS GRADUATION RATE INTO THAT DOMAIN ONE.

SO IT'S A LITTLE MORE METRICS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT HIGH SCHOOL RATING.

SO IT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THAN OUR ELEMENTARIES, BUT IT STILL IS THE BEST OF EITHER DOMAIN ONE OR TWO AND THEN THE BEST IN DOMAIN TWO.

THAT MAKES UP THAT 70% OF THAT CAMPUS OVERALL SCORE.

AND OF COURSE, TA LIKES TO CHANGE THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM EVERY FEW YEARS.

SO IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT NOW OF RESETTING THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE COMING MONTHS AS THEY MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS.

A LOT OF TIMES WE DON'T GET THE FINAL, FINAL DECISIONS ON WHAT THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WILL LOOK LIKE UNTIL LATE IN THE SPRING OR THE SUMMER.

AND SO REALLY, WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR CAMPUSES AND ARE OUR TEACHERS, IT'S REALLY JUST KEEP GROWING PERFORMANCE.

YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IS, YOU KNOW, IT'LL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ON JUST OVERALL STUDENT GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE.

THAT'S THE KEY METRIC.

AND I HOPE I DIDN'T MISS ANY PARTS ON THAT.

MS. SIMMONS, YOU CAN THINK OF.

ALL RIGHT. SHE SAID, I DID A GREAT JOB.

I GOT MOST OF IT RIGHT.

AND WITH THAT, I'M SURE WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

TRUSTEE HARRISON.

? YES, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

THANK YOU. THIS WAS REALLY EXCITING, WAS HOLDING MY BREATH A LITTLE BIT.

I KNOW WE'VE BEEN IMPACTED ACADEMICALLY BY PANDEMIC, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, SO IT'S EXCITING TO SEE SOME OF THIS AND TEA'S CHANGING THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

SO DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES ON THAT OR HOW WILL THAT BE IMPACTED BY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE CELEBRATING THIS IMPROVEMENT, BUT THEN WHEN THEY CHANGE THE METRIC, HOW WILL WE KNOW ABOUT OUR CONTINUOUS PROGRESS? SO SOME KEY THINGS THAT WE KNOW WILL HAPPEN IS THEY'LL RESET THE TARGETS.

SO THE TARGETS RIGHT NOW ARE BASED ON 2018 DATA.

SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, GOING INTO THIS, WE KNEW THAT THE TARGETS DIDN'T REALLY TAKE THE PANDEMIC INTO ACCOUNT AT ALL.

SO THAT'S A BIG CELEBRATION FOR HOW WELL OUR STUDENTS DID PERFORM BASED ON TARGETS THERE.

THEN AFTER THAT, THEY WILL LOOK AT THE TARGETS BASED ON 2022 PERFORMANCE, AND THEN THOSE WILL BE OUR TARGETS FOR NEXT YEAR.

THERE'S PROBABLY SOME CMR UPDATES THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN AS WELL AS WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO ANTICIPATE SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE IN THAT GROWTH METRIC AND DOMAIN.

TWO, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW EITHER SCORE OR HALF A POINT, ONE POINT OR TWO POINTS OR THREE POINTS.

SO THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL GRADATION WITHIN THAT.

SO YOU CAN HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SCORE POINTS WITHIN THERE.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE SYSTEM, BUT IT WILL BE DIFFERENT GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.

AND OF COURSE, THE STAAR TEST ITSELF WILL BE CHANGING GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.

THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT ITEM TYPES THAT WILL BE INCLUDED ON THAT EXAM.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW WITH STAFF ON THOSE DIFFERENT ITEM TYPES THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO.

YEAH. JUST TO ADD TO THAT, TRUSTEE HARRISON, I THINK IS ALSO CHANGING THE PROVIDER FOR THE STAAR TEST.

SO NOW THEY'RE GOING BACK TO I THINK PEARSON RIGHT.

YEAH, THEY CHANGED IT THIS YEAR WITH THE CHANGES THIS YEAR.

SO THAT'S BUT ALSO THERE ARE SOME NEW TWEAKS.

I THINK WE'RE STARTING FOR SCIENCE, RIGHT, FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR TOO.

SO NEW TWEAKS.

SO THAT'S OUR TEACHERS.

OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVE TO ADJUST THEIR TEACHING RIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING OR WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEW TWEAKS ALSO.

YEAH, WE'VE GOTTEN USED TO IT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

YOU KNOW, IT DOES CHANGE, YOU KNOW, YEAR TO YEAR.

AND WITH THE DR.

AZAIEZ MENTIONED THE CHANGE IN THE TESTING PROVIDER, YOU KNOW, THAT'S DEFINITELY SLOWED DOWN SOME OF OUR SUMMER KIND OF PROJECTIONS BECAUSE WE GOT SEVERAL DIFFERENT DATA FILES FROM TEA. I THINK THEY EVENTUALLY WORKED THE KINKS OUT WITH THAT, BUT THERE'S THERE'S ALWAYS SOME KIND OF CHANGES.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. TRUSTEE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON JUST AS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT, I WAS JUST SORT OF WONDERING WITH THE NEW GRADATION, I MEAN, DO YOU GET THE SENSE THAT THE

[01:35:09]

SORT OF GRADING SYSTEM.

WILL IT GIVE US MORE DATA AND MAKE IT? I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE EXACTLY WHAT I'M ASKING, BUT.

SO IF YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE GRADATION WITH THE WITH THE GROWTH MEASURE, WHAT THEY WANT TO TRY TO DO IS THEY WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT.

BEYOND THE TYPICAL GIRL.

SO IF A KID THAT DID NOT MEET AND THEY GO TO MASTERS, IT'S NOT JUST ONE POINT BECAUSE THEN THEY TURN TO THIS NO MATTER WHAT, THAT'S JUST ONE POINT.

THEY WANT TO GIVE US THREE POINTS FOR MOVING KIDS ALONG FURTHER THAN JUST THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO.

YES. I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THAT RIGHT THERE, BECAUSE YOU GET ME TALKING.

I WILL. YOU HAVE TO CENSOR ME.

ERICA LOVES THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

BUT THE ONE ONE PIECE TO THAT THAT I THINK WOULD BE IS GOING TO BE A BENEFIT, IS THAT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT THEY ALL START IN DIFFERENT PLACES, OF COURSE.

RIGHT. AND DID NOT MEET THAT SECTION THAT THAT RANGE OF SCORES IS BROAD.

YOU KNOW, IT'S THE LARGEST GROUP THAT YOU CAN LAND IN.

AND RIGHT NOW, WE COULD HAVE STUDENTS SHOWING GREAT GROWTH, BUT THEY STILL DON'T QUITE MEET THAT APPROACHES AND THEY SCORED.

THEY DON'T BENEFIT KIND OF THE CAMPUS AT ALL ON THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT ADDING IN, YOU KNOW, PARTIAL GROWTH.

YOU KNOW, SO EVEN IF YOU STAY WITHIN A DOMAIN BUT YOU SHOW SIGNIFICANT GROWTH, THEN YOU MIGHT NOT SCORE THREE POINTS, BUT YOU'D SCORE A HALF A POINT OR A POINT LIKE THAT.

SO WE WE DO THINK THAT IT WILL WE DO LIKE HOW TO IS CONTINUING TO VALUE GROWTH, YOU KNOW, AN IMPROVEMENT.

AND THAT'S THE KIND OF THE MAIN THING THAT WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR.

REAL QUICK, SPEAKING OF GROWTH JUST TO CALLISON ONE MORE TIME AND US NORTH SO EXCITED FOR THEM THAT'S A HUGE JUMP TO GROW UP TWO LETTERS SO.

TRUSTEE BONE. THANK YOU.

I HAD EMAILED DR.

AZAIEZ AND HAD ASKED.

I'M REALLY INTERESTED ON I THINK IT WAS A COUPLE OF SLIDES BACK WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT WHY WE SPECIFICALLY GOT A B RATING BECAUSE FOR ME PERSONALLY AND I'M JUST ONE OF THE SEVEN, BUT I REALLY WANT TO SEE OUR DISTRICT RETURN TO AN A BECAUSE ACTUALLY WE WERE IN A PRIOR TO 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR.

SO AND ALL THAT MEANS IS RIGHT IS THAT MOST OF OUR STUDENTS ARE REALLY THRIVING.

AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY I REALLY WANT THAT A.

IT'S NOT TO DO WITH CHEERS, BUT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO CALL OUT FOR NORTH.

I MEAN, THAT'S AMAZING.

AND ALISON AND ERICA.

YEAH. SO JUST AMAZING.

BUT I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON THE BE LIKE CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SCHOOLS THAT.

WE'RE EITHER NOT RATED IN A CATEGORY OR ACTUALLY LIKE STONY POINT, THE TARGETED SUPPORT.

CAN YOU KIND OF TALK ABOUT THESE SCHOOLS THAT I MEAN, I LOVE CHEERING I LOVE THIS BUT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SLIDES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE I THINK PARENTS WANT TO KNOW TOO, YOU KNOW, LET'S CHEER ON, BUT THEN LET'S ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT SO THAT WE CAN HELP THESE STUDENTS.

BECAUSE I KNOW I THINK WE ALL WANT TO HELP THESE STUDENTS.

SO CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE? SURE. SO LET'S TALK FIRST ABOUT THE TARGETED SUPPORT.

SO THERE'S ALSO A FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY PART WHERE CAMPUSES CAN EITHER BE PUT INTO A SYSTEM WHERE THERE'S THERE'S THREE KIND OF LEVELS OF IT.

THERE'S COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT, THERE'S TARGETED SUPPORT, AND THERE'S ADDITIONAL TARGETED SUPPORT.

COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT WOULD BE THE MOST EXTREME IS THE RIGHT WORD, BUT IT'S KIND OF THE THE FARTHEST THE MOST MOST IS REQUIRED OF US TO PRODUCE KIND OF DOCUMENTATION OF OUR ON OUR IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR THOSE CAMPUSES.

AND WE ACTUALLY IN 2019, WE HAD 15 SCHOOLS THAT WERE SOMEWHERE WITHIN THAT RANGE OF CAMPUSES WHO WERE EITHER ONE OF THOSE THREE.

AND THIS YEAR WE DO WE DID KNOCK THAT NUMBER DOWN TO TEN.

SEVERAL OF THOSE CAMPUSES MOVED OFF THAT LIST.

DR. AZAIEZI WAS ACTUALLY.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT'S ANOTHER CELEBRATION.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION, BECAUSE WE REDUCE THANKS TO THE WORK OF OUR STAFF.

WE WENT DOWN FROM 15 CAMPUSES TO TEN, WHICH IS, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT THE WORK IS DONE.

BY NO MEANS I THINK EVERYBODY HERE WANT TO SEE OUR DISTRICTS THRIVING AND GET AN A'S.

AND ALSO NO SCHOOLS LISTED ON THE FEDERAL LIST.

BUT THE FACT THAT WE WENT FROM 15 TO 10 IN REALLY ONE YEAR, JUST LIKE RECOVERING FROM PANDEMIC, I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY THANK AGAIN OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF, OUR PARENTS, OUR STUDENTS FOR REALLY MAKING IT HAPPEN.

SO WE ARE DOWN TO TEN AND I THINK WE HAVE THE LIST.

WE CAN MAYBE SHARE IT WITH OUR TRUSTEES AS WELL.

RIGHT. THEY DON'T ASK THEM.

I DO WANT TO ADD SOMETHING.

SO. I KNOW THAT WE DON'T GET TO SEE THIS WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT AND WE SEE A B, BUT PERFORMANCE WISE, WE WERE AN A, IT'S THIS LITTLE CAVEAT, THIS TECHNICALITY THAT THEY PUT IN.

THEY KEPT THIS THAT MADE US NOT GET HIGHER THAN IT.

B IT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN MY CHILDREN WENT TO SCHOOL AND THEY TURNED THEIR HOMEWORK IN THREE DAYS LATE.

[01:40:05]

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT OUR PERFORMANCE, WHAT WE ACTUALLY PRODUCE WAS AN A, BUT THE TECHNICALITY AND THE RULES KEPT THAT FROM GETTING THAT.

AND I KNOW WE DON'T SEE THAT WHEN PEOPLE GO AND LOOK, THEY JUST SEE THE B, BUT KNOW THAT NO, THAT THIS DISTRICT WASN'T A PERFORMANCE WISE.

AND THE SECOND THING I WANT TO ADD IS A VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM HURT SO LIKE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A IF THIS CAMPUS HAD HAD THEIR KIDS THAT WENT TO THE VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM ON THEIR CAMPUS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A AS WELL.

SO THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT IMPACT THAT A THAT THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE AND WHERE THE KIDS ARE ACHIEVING, YOU DON'T GET TO SEE THAT BECAUSE THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS SET UP SOMETIMES.

EXPLAIN SOMETHING. ERICA, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE VIRTUAL.

SO WE AS A AS A DISTRICT, WE HAVE TO PIVOT TO VIRTUAL BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.

SO THEN THAT'S A DECISION THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DID IT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

THAT DECISION, I THINK WE HAD AT SOME POINT 5000, 5000 STUDENTS WHO ACTUALLY WERE IN VIRTUAL.

THE MAJORITY OF THOSE STUDENTS ACTUALLY WERE TAKEN START AS THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE.

AND SO SO ALL THOSE STUDENTS AND I THINK FOR SOME FOLKS LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LIKE THEY WERE HERE, THEY WERE ENROLLED.

ROUND ROCK THE WAY IT WORKS FOR THE TO COUNT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, THAT STUDENT PHYSICALLY HAS TO BE IN-PERSON AT THE CAMPUS IN THE FALL. WE CALL THAT A SNAPSHOT DAY, WHICH IS THE LAST FRIDAY IN OCTOBER.

AND THEY HAVE TO BE HERE ALSO WHEN THEY TAKE THE START TEST.

SO FOR FOR THE MAJORITY OF THOSE 5000 STUDENTS WHO WHO WERE NOT HERE IN THE FALL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THEY WERE HERE IN PERSON TO TAKE THE START TEST.

THEY DID NOT COUNT FOR THAT KIND OF ABILITY FOR THE CAMPUS.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT ERICA IS SAYING.

IF THEY COUNTED IF THE TA COUNTED THEM FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY, THEN THEN THAT DOMAIN MOST LIKELY WILL BE HIGHER THAN THAN IT D.

THEREFORE, AS A DISTRICT D.A.

WILL GIVE US THE 92 BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR STUDENTS EARN REALLY EARN IN 92.

BUT THE MEMBER WE HAD ONE DOMAIN, ONE CAMPUS IS D AND THAT'S WHY WE LOST THAT 90 TO 2 AND 89.

BUT IF THE STUDENTS WERE THERE IN PERSON OR SAID, YOU KNOW, WE COUNT THEM FOR YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT PARTICULAR CAMPUS, THEN WE WILL HAVE THAT 92 THAT WE, OUR STUDENTS EARNED.

AND THE STUDENTS COUNT.

ALL THE STUDENTS COUNT IN THE THE NUMBERS WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE AT THE DISTRICT RATING.

BUT THE STUDENTS THAT WERE IN THE VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY MOVED CAMPUSES, THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T COUNT FOR ANY CERTAIN CAMPUS.

SO THE COUNT IN THAT DISTRICT OVERALL RATING, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF OUT OF THE MIX.

SO THEY COULDN'T SCORE ANY POINTS FOR A CAMPUS.

SO THE NUMBERS HERE ARE THE ACCURATE WITH ALL THE KIDS INVOLVED.

WHERE ARE THEY? BECAUSE I HAVE A DIFFERENT SO I ACTUALLY WENT YOU CAN GO TO TEXAS EDUCATION TO AND THEY ACTUALLY I CAN ACTUALLY GET THE DISTRICT DATA WHERE WOULD THEY SHOW UP THEN BECAUSE THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON THE CAMPUSES.

WHERE DO ALL OF THOSE STUDENTS SHOW UP ON THE RAW DATA? ARE THEY ARE THEY IN THIS DO SO IN DOMAIN ONE.

SO THE THE THE ACCOUNTABILITY IS IS CALCULATED SIMILAR TO HIGH SCHOOL WHICH MEANS THE GRADUATION RATE AND THEN THE CMR ACCOUNTS IN THE CLOSING THE GAPS AND DOMAIN TWO.

SO THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT LIKE AGAIN YOU'RE GETTING ME EXCITED BUT THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IS LIKE THE, THE AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF KIDS WHO SCORED APPROACHES MEETS THE MASTER'S. SO THEY COUNT IN THAT AND THEN THEY ACCOUNT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANYBODY ABOVE SEVENTH GRADE SO IT DIDN'T IMPACT ANY OF THAT THOSE THE CLOSING THE GAP BECAUSE THAT'S BASED ON THE COLLEGE ONES.

I MEAN THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS IN COLLEGE, HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO THE ACHIEVEMENT RATING, BECAUSE THESE ARE THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DO CALL OUT CAMPUSES.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT RATING, WHICH IS THE OVERALL THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S THE ONE CATEGORY.

IT'S ONE DOMAIN. AND WE DO HAVE FIVE CAMPUSES THAT SCORED IN THE FIFTIES ARE BELOW.

SO I GUESS WHEN YOU SAY WE WOULD HAVE GOT A 90 OR 92, I PERSONALLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD BROAD SUPPORT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT ANALYSIS.

LIKE I REALLY HAVE TO HAVE DATA TO BACK THINGS UP BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO JUST THROW OUT, YOU KNOW, JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE AND SAY, OH YEAH, WE WOULD HAVE GOT A 92.

SO DO YOU HAVE THAT? COULD WE DO AND, AND OUR PLAN IS TO COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WITH OR WORKSHOP MAYBE AND ACTUALLY TALK THROUGH SOME OF THE ACTUAL STAR DATA.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S YOU GOT THE STAR TEST AND YOU'VE GOT THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

SO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE STAR TEST PERFORMANCE ON THOSE CAMPUSES.

SO WE COULD DEFINITELY GIVE MORE DETAIL ON THAT.

AND I MIGHT ADD ALSO, I THINK, RYAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU TALKED ABOUT IT.

SO IN ORDER FOR FOR A CAMPUS TO BE TO GET TO RATED FOR THAT 70%, REMEMBER RYAN TALKED ABOUT A 70%.

[01:45:02]

THEY LOOK AT THREE THINGS I'M SORRY, AND THEY SELECT THE HIGHEST ONE.

SO ONE IS DOMAIN ONE, JUST STRICTLY DOMAIN ONE AND SEE WHERE THE CAMPUS, HOW THE CAMPUSES DO AND HOW THE STUDENTS ACTUALLY SIT IN ACHIEVEMENT.

THEN T GIVES SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO CAMPUSES.

OKAY. LET'S SAY DOMAIN ONE WAS LOWER THAN 70 AND YOU DON'T HAVE AN A OR B OR WHATEVER OR C.

SO LET'S LOOK AT DOMAIN TWO, WHICH IS STUDENT GROWTH.

AND THERE ARE TWO PARTS THERE.

SO THERE IS PART A AND THEN THERE IS PART B.

SO THERE IS PART A, I'M SORRY, I DON'T MIND ONE OR DOMAIN TWO, PART A AND B, SO D LOOKS AT ONE OF THE HIGHEST ONE, AND THAT'S HOW WE CALCULATE IT. SO A CAMPUS COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A 50 OR 60 IN DOMAIN ONE, BUT THEY MAY END UP WITH A C OR A B OR EVEN AN A BECAUSE THEY HAD MAYBE STUDENTS WHO CAME IN TO THEM AND THEY WERE VERY LOW.

AND THAT CAMPUS WORK VERY HARD TO SHOW A LOT OF GROWTH TO THE STUDENTS.

BUT EVEN WITH THE GROWTH AND THE HARD WORK OF EVERYONE, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO PULL IT TO A 70.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOKED AT PART A, DOMAIN TWO, PART A OR B, THEY WERE ABLE TO REALLY SCORE HIGHER.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY THE A THROUGH F SYSTEM IS A LITTLE BIT COMPLICATED BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY COMPONENTS THAT THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT AND TRY TO PUT IN CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT SOMETIMES STUDENTS COME TO A CAMPUS ALREADY WAY BEHIND, BUT THE CAMPUS AND THE TEACHERS AND THE STAFF WORKED SO HARD TO BRING THE STUDENTS UP ACADEMICALLY.

RIGHT. BUT THEY NOT DON'T BRING THEM NECESSARILY TO TO 70% OF THE KIDS TO SCORE MEETS.

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT OTHER SYSTEM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AND I HOPE YOU'RE NOT HEARING THAT WE'RE OKAY WITH A 50, YOU KNOW, EITHER ON ACCOUNT, LIKE WE'RE NOT OKAY WITH THAT EITHER.

SO THOSE ARE NO, I'M REALLY JUST TRYING TO DIVE IN BECAUSE I MEAN, I LOVE THE CELEBRATIONS, BUT MY HEART IS REALLY WITH THOSE CAMPUSES AND KIDS THAT ARE STRUGGLING BECAUSE I LOVE THAT. LIKE FORREST NORTH, IT'S SUCH A HIGHLIGHT.

LIKE, I WANT ALL CAMPUSES TO DO THAT, LIKE JUST PULL THEM UP AND EVERYBODY GETS TO BE AN EIGHT BECAUSE THEY CAN DO IT.

WE SAW IT. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THERE'S THREE DOMAINS BASICALLY.

RIGHT. AND IF ANY OF THEM ARE NOT RATED IN THIS YEAR OR IF THEY'RE IN FUTURE YEARS, IF THEY'RE ADR AND F, THEN WE WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO AN A.

IS THAT A CORRECT STATEMENT? PROBABLY IF THEY DON'T CHANGE THAT.

WELL, AND THEN DEPENDING ON YOUR OTHER DOMAIN SCORE, YOU KNOW BUT WE WOULD PROBABLY NOT PROBABLY NOT WILL WE'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT AROUND THAT 90 TO 89.

OKAY. BECAUSE WHAT I SO WHAT I DID ON HERE IS I WENT THROUGH ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS THAT HAD SOME NOT RATED CATEGORY OR SO.

THAT MEANS THEY WERE BELOW A A 70.

AND THEN I HIGHLIGHTED ALSO IT WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO LIKE STONY POINT DOESN'T HAVE A NOT RATED CATEGORY.

BUT THE POST-SECONDARY READINESS, THEY DIDN'T EARN THAT.

AND IS THAT WHAT MADE THEM A TARGETED SUPPORT SCHOOL? DO WE KNOW WHAT MADE THEM A TARGET OF SUPPORT? BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

YEAH, I DON'T HAVE THEIR PARTICULAR TARGETED SUPPORT PLAN IN FRONT OF US, BUT TARGETED SUPPORT IS NOT SECONDARY READINESS.

IT'S ON STUDENT GROUP PERFORMANCE.

SO THAT MEANS THAT IN ONE SENTENCE THERE'S THERE'S A SUBGROUP OF DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS THAT YOU HAVE CERTAIN TARGETS FOR.

AND IF YOU DON'T MEET THAT STUDENT GROUP TARGET FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW, THEN YOU HAVE TARGETED SUPPORT.

SO THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW. SO WHEN I HIGHLIGHTED ALL THESE, IT BASICALLY WAS 23 CAMPUSES THAT I WAS KIND OF LOOKING AT, WHICH IS QUITE A FEW.

SO. I KNOW.

WE JUST HAVE A LOT OF WORK, I GUESS.

ME PERSONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO DIG INTO THAT.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE IN SEPTEMBER WE ARE WE DIG INTO IT EXTENSIVELY.

YEAH. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SHARE.

YEAH, I DO HAVE A CORRECTION TO MAKE THOSE STUDENTS ALSO COUNT IN THE ACADEMIC GROWTH.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR OUR ACADEMIC GROWTH, THAT WAS IN 92 AND THAT WAS THE HIGHER OF THE TWO, BUT WE ONLY GOT AN 89.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

YOU SEE WHERE THAT 92 IS THERE ON THE ACADEMIC GROWTH.

SO THE SYSTEM TAKES THE HIGHER THE TWO OF THE 92 OF THE 89 BUT BECAUSE OF THAT THAT THAT CAMPUS THAT WE HAD THAT WAS BELOW THAT 70 WE HAD TO GO WITH THE 89 AND THAT IN PLACE OF THAT THAT 92.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS EVERYBODY KEEPS SAYING ONE CAMPUS WAS IT JUST ONE CAMPUS? BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MORE THAN ONE CAMPUS.

AND THE DOMAIN TWO PART A, IT WAS ONE CAMPUS.

IT WAS JUST ONE CAMPUS.

OKAY. BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE PERFORMANCE RATING, WHICH IS BASED ON ECONOMIC SOCIAL DISADVANTAGED.

AND THERE WAS WE HAD 11 OF THEM THAT WERE NOT RATED.

YES. IN THAT DOMAIN.

AND TO BE. AND TO BE SO.

SO THE WAY THE METHODOLOGY WORKS IS YOU TAKE THE HIGHER OF TO A OR TO BE AND IN TO A WE HAD ONE CAMPUS THAT LIMITED US TO AN 89 OR THAT THAT WAS THE PORTION OF DOMAIN TWO THAT COUNTED FOR US.

SO AND KIND OF GOING PAST THE THE LETTERING FOR ME IT'S ALSO LIKE THESE SUBCATEGORIES ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE PERFORMANCE RATING OBVIOUSLY WHEN IT'S NOT RATED IT MEANS THAT WE

[01:50:02]

IS THAT TRUE? WELL, WE LOOK WE LOOK AT STUDENT GROUPS ON ALL THE CAMPUSES WITHIN IF IF THEY HAD A NOT RATED RATING, I GUESS, ON THAT DOMAIN, THEN WE LOOK AT ALL THE STUDENT GROUPS.

SO AND WE'RE GOING TO DIG INTO THAT IN DETAIL.

AND WE CAN I MEAN, IT'S I MEAN, I WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO LOOK AT THESE THAT ARE NOT RATED.

I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS ARE INTERESTED IN THE ONES THAT AREN'T RATED, BUT WE DEFINITELY CAN.

DR. BOND AND WE CAN COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

AND ALSO, IF YOU HAVE PARTICULAR THINGS THAT YOU WANT US TO PREPARE FOR.

LIKE YOU WANT TO DIG IN INTO A PARTICULAR CAMPUSES WHERE PARTICULAR STUDENT GROUPS, SO ANYTHING LIKE THAT LET US KNOW.

AND WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PREPARE IT PRESENTATION AND COME BACK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

WELL, AND I GUESS IT'S NOT JUST DIGGING INTO IT, RIGHT.

BECAUSE THAT'S I MEAN, I GUESS THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY HELPFUL FOR US, BUT I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT THE PLAN IS MOVING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS YEAR.

SURE. TO I MEAN, BECAUSE IT'S 23 CAMPUSES.

WHAT ARE WE DOING ON THESE 23 CAMPUSES SO THAT WE CAN MOVE THESE STUDENTS AND MOVE ALL OF THEM UP? BECAUSE THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE WHOLE BOARD.

SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE WE DON'T WE'RE DOING WE'RE DOING A LOT ALREADY.

I MEAN, THANKS TO YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ALLOCATED ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS JUST TO STRATEGIC PLANNING OR STUDYING STAFFING.

I KNOW OUR AREA AND I'M GLAD TO SEE I WANT TO THANK THEM ALSO FOR THEIR HARD WORK TO MAKE THIS REALLY HAPPEN.

BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH THOSE SEVEN CAMPUSES.

THE IDEA IS TO EXPAND THAT EVEN TO MORE CAMPUSES.

BUT ALSO, I KNOW THAT OUR OUR OUR PRINCIPALS, OUR LEADERS, OUR TEACHERS AND THEIR TEAMS ARE ALSO WORKING ON THEIR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU, TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS TO ALSO HAVE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE.

SO WE WE ALREADY LIKE IN THE WORKING ON THE WORK I'M SORRY IF COMING UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS.

SOME OF IT MAY BE LIKE A DISTRICT WIDE KIND OF LIKE THE STRATEGIC STAFFING AND SOME OF SOME OF IT WILL BE JUST IN INDIVIDUALLY DONE AT THIS CAMPUSES BASED ON THE NEEDS.

SO WAS THE STRATEGIC STAFFING.

WAS THAT DONE BASED ON THESE RESULTS? IS IT WOULD IT BE THESE SCHOOLS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT DIDN'T GET RATED? SO THOSE SEVEN STRATEGIC STAFFING SCHOOLS ARE I THINK THEY ARE.

THEY ARE PART OF THOSE BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT WHEN WE IDENTIFIED THEM WITH WITH THE WORK WITH WITH OUR AREA SOUPS AND OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING DEPARTMENT.

WE WERE WE WERE LOOKING AT THE 20, 20, 2020 LAST YEAR STAR DATA AND MANY OF THEM ARE HISTORICALLY THEY WERE REMEMBER ON THAT SAY LIKE THE CS OR FS AND DS, MANY OF THEM WERE ON THAT LIST.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, ALL OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY PART OF THE PLAN.

THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR RIGHT NOW.

TRUSTEE WESTON YOUR NEXT.

BUT I HAVE A I THINK A FOLLOW UP MAYBE TO WHAT DO YOU MIND IF I ASK A LITTLE FOLLOW UP? OKAY. THANK YOU. SO TALKING ABOUT THESE DOMAINS AND I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A CHANGE IN OUR ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS THAT MAY CHANGE OUR BOARD GOALS AND WHATNOT. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE AS A BOARD WANT TO LOOK AT MEASUREMENTS ON THESE SPECIFIC DOMAINS? IS THERE A WAY TO TRACK IT OTHER THAN THE ANNUAL STAR TEST? LIKE, I JUST I DON'T WANT US TO BE SURPRISED, YOU KNOW, AND ONCE A YEAR HAVE THIS CHECK IN ON THESE DOMAINS THAT ARE SO INFLUENTIAL.

AND QUITE HONESTLY, I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE OVERALL RATING.

I WANT TO LOOK AT THE OVERALL SCORE.

YOU KNOW, I WANT US TO LOOK THAT.

SO I'M ABOUT TO AGE MYSELF.

I GREW UP IN IN HIGH SCHOOL IS WHEN ROSS PEROT DID THE WHOLE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, YOU KNOW, SLOGAN AND STUFF.

AND I, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY CHILD AND THERE'S NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.

AND THAT GROWTH AND THESE OTHER DOMAINS TO A AND TO BE REALLY DO PROVIDE SOME REALLY IMPORTANT FEEDBACK TO HOW STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD SHOULD ADD TO A BOARD GOAL OR IS IT MEASURABLE DURING THE YEAR, ADD IT TO A GROWTH PROJECT? I MEAN, I KNOW THOSE ARE YOURS THAT YOU OWN THE GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES.

SO I'M GOING TO STOP TOPPING.

BUT I THINK I'VE KIND OF ASKED MY QUESTION.

I THINK I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW WE WOULD HAVE AN IDEA HOW WE MIGHT DO.

YES, WE CAN MEASURE IT.

SO, I MEAN, YOU GUYS KEEP MESSING WITH ME.

I'M GONNA GO HERE. SO THE WAY THE DOMAIN ONE IS MEASURED, SO THE WAY THAT WE DO, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING OUR INTERIMS, THE PERFORMANCE LEVELS, THEY COME BACK.

YES, WE CAN MEASURE DOMAIN ONE THE SAME WAY THAT THE THAT THE STATE WOULD.

SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TO BE IS WHAT TO BE DOES IS IT TAKE WHAT YOU SCORE IN A AND ONE AND IT SAYS HOW DID YOU AND IT IT IT DOES THE CUT SCORES DIFFERENT HOW WOULD THAT COMPARE TO A CAMPUS THAT HAS THE SAME PERCENT OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS? SO THAT'S NOT REALLY A NEW CALCULATION.

IT'S JUST PUTTING IT IN A NEW CONTEXT, RIGHT? SO IF I HAD THE AVERAGE BETWEEN APPROACHES, ME SEMESTERS IS 50% AND YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE THAT AND YOU CONVERT THAT TO A SCALE SCORE, THEN THEY TAKE THAT SAME THING AND THEY GIVE

[01:55:03]

SO IN THE WAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING OUR GROWTH NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS GOING FROM ONE PERFORMANCE LEVEL TO THE NEXT, WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THAT BETWEEN OUR WITH OUR DISTRICT INTERIMS, I FEEL THIS IS ME.

AND AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR EVERYONE HERE.

I FEEL LIKE OUR GOALS WHEN WE HAVE SET SOME GOALS FOR OVERALL STUDENTS, BUT ALSO EVERY STUDENT GROUP, IF WE LIFT THEM ALL UP, IF WE LEFT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS UP LIKE THEIR PERFORMANCE, IF WE LEFT OUR DYSLEXIC KIDS FAR ABOVE FOR OUR HISPANIC, I MEAN, IF EVERYONE GETS LEFT UP OVER OVERALL WILL GET LEFT UP AGAIN.

AND THEREFORE, OUR DOMAIN SCORES WILL GO BETTER.

WE'LL HAVE A BETTER SCORE.

THAT'S HOW HOW HOW THINGS WORK.

AND I MEAN, WE CAN COME HERE AND DO A MONTHLY, LET'S SAY, PROGRESS MONITOR HOW THE DOMAINS ARE LOOKING LIKE.

BUT HONESTLY, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT STUDENTS.

WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT HOW EVERY KID IS DOING AND HOW EVERY STUDENT GROUP THERE THEREFORE IS DOING.

THAT'S MY OPINION.

BUT AGAIN, WE WORK.

I TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT WE AT A BOARD LEVEL AREN'T LOOKING AT INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS LIKE A PRINCIPAL WOULD BE.

AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU'RE LOOKING AT A, YOU KNOW, SUPERVISING YOUR STAFF.

SO MAKING IT UNDERSTANDABLE AT A BOARD LEVEL BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR DISAGREEMENTS ON THIS DAIS FOR SURE.

BUT ONE THING THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US BELIEVE IN IS WE CARE ABOUT THE ACADEMIC GROWTH OF OUR KIDS IN THIS DISTRICT.

AND SO US UNDERSTANDING ON THIS DIET AND I SHOULD SPEAK JUST FOR MYSELF, PUT OWNERSHIP ON IT.

BUT ME UNDERSTANDING THOSE NUMBERS AND HOW WE CAN MAKE TRUE CHANGE IS REALLY, I THINK, A VALUABLE, VALUABLE TOOL FOR ME.

THAT'S JUST ME.

I WANT TO SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY.

HOLD ON. TRUSTEE. VESSA TRUSTEE.

WESTON IS NEXT. BUT I JUST THAT'S THE END OF MY QUESTION.

I JUST WANTED SOMETHING FOR US TO THINK ABOUT AS A BOARD ESPECIALLY.

WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCHING OUR GOALS THAT WE APPROVED TWO DAYS AGO.

BUT AS WE LOOK AT THE NEW RATINGS AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING, THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO CONSIDER.

WE CAN HAVE FIVE GOALS. SO.

YEAH. OKAY. WE'RE NOT. OKAY.

TRUSTEE WESTON. YOU'RE NUMBER ONE THING THAT I JUST WANTED TO ADD ON TO THAT IS IT WAS WE USED TO HAVE FOUR GOLD PROGRESS MEASURES AND I MEAN AND WE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR IT.

BUT I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS THE ONE THAT INSISTED ON IT.

AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THAT FOURTH ONE WAS ABOUT GROWTH.

IT WAS ABOUT HOW MUCH DID STUDENTS WHO WHO DIDN'T YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH WERE THEY GROWING EACH YEAR? WERE THEY WERE THEY GROWING MORE THAN A YEAR OF IMPROVEMENT? AND THAT GOT KNOCKED OFF BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FOUR.

BUT IT WAS SOMETHING ON THE PAST.

ONES THAT WE MEASURED WAS GROWTH, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF DON'T DON'T MEAN TO IS IS SCHOOL GROWTH, STUDENT GROWTH.

YEP. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE WESTON, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO JUMP IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO WITH REGARD TO LONE STAR GOVERNANCE, DO WE GET CREDIT FOR THIS FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES? YES, WE DO. OKAY.

SO THEN WE CAN SPEND LOTS OF TIME ON THIS.

YEP. AWESOME.

BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE.

ULTIMATELY. AND TO THAT END, KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AMBER, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT WELL, AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

WHAT DO THEY SAY? SUCCESS HAS MANY FATHERS, BUT FAILURE IS AN ORPHAN.

WHEN THINGS GO WELL.

IT'S EASY TO, YOU KNOW, APPLAUD AND BE HAPPY.

AND BUT I THINK WE'RE HERE.

I THINK I'M HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO ADDRESS THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT GOING WELL.

EVERY ORGANIZATION, EVERY FAMILY, EVERY COMMUNITY.

HAS CHALLENGES AROUND RECOGNIZED IS NOT UNIQUE.

I'M HERE AND I THINK THAT WE'RE ALL HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT.

AND THE POSITIVE IMPACT IS GOING TO COME FROM OUR MAKING AN IMPACT IN OUR LOWER PERFORMING CAMPUSES.

THAT'S WHERE IT COMES FROM.

SO WHAT DOES TARGETED AND COMPREHENSIVE WHEN I SEE THAT WHEN I SEE THE TEN CAMPUSES WITH THE FEDERAL SUPPORT LABEL TARGETED.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I THINK THAT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS.

WHAT DOES WE HAVE TO CAMPUSES THAT ARE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRESS? CAN WE DEFINE THOSE SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY? ERICA IS GOING TO PULL UP HER NOTES, BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW AND LET HER GIVE MORE DETAIL.

BUT ESSENTIALLY, LIKE I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, SO THE FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL STUDENT GROUP PERFORMANCE.

[02:00:01]

AND IF YOU HAVE A CAMPUS THAT IS UNDERPERFORMING IN THAT CERTAIN GROUP FOR MORE THAN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS, THEN YOU'RE REQUIRED TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE IMPROVEMENT PLANS. AND COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT WOULD BE A LOWER PERFORMING CAMPUS AT THAT TIME.

AND THOSE CAMPUSES ENTERED INTO THAT SYSTEM, I BELIEVE, IN 2019.

AND SO THEY CREATE WHAT'S CALLED A TARGETED IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM ON THAT.

THEY WORK WE SUBMIT THAT TO REGION 13, AND THEN THEY MONITOR IT AND WE MONITOR AND WE MONITOR IT.

THE NEXT LEVEL TARGETED SUPPORT IS KIND OF A LESS RIGOROUS MONITORING PLAN.

SO WE HAVE TO CREATE AN IMPROVEMENT PLAN, BUT IT'S HOUSED INTERNALLY AND WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE A REGION 13 PARTNER IN THAT WORK.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE, I THINK IS AN EVEN LESSER LEVEL OF MONITORING, I GUESS WOULD BE A WAY TO CALL IT.

IT'S ALL BASED ON INDIVIDUAL STUDENT GROUP PERFORMANCE OVER MULTIPLE YEARS.

SO OUR CAMPUS IS THAT OUR OUR COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT AND IMPROVEMENT IS FEDERAL GUIDELINE THAT THEY TAKE THE LOWEST 5% OF OUR CAMPUSES IN THE DISTRICT.

SO TECHNICALLY, IF ALL THE CAMPUSES IN THE DISTRICT WAS THE SAE, WE WOULD STILL HAVE SOMEBODY STILL HAS TO GO ON THE LIST BECAUSE IT'S THE BOTTOM 5%.

SO THAT'S HOW WE THAT'S HOW THEY'RE IDENTIFIED.

AND SO THEY CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR AND BEFORE IT WAS THE BOTTOM 5% OVERALL AND THEN BUT NOW IT'S THE BOTTOM 5% BY SCHOOL TYPE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO ALSO BE IN THE BOTTOM PERCENTILE WITH YOUR OVERALL SCORE.

SO THEY THINK THEY'RE MAKING IT HARDER TO GET IN THE CLUB.

BUT FIRST, SO THAT'S THAT THOSE ARE THE RULES CHANGES THAT ARE COMING UP FOR THIS YEAR.

BUT THAT'S WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE IS.

THE TARGET IS IF YOU HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A CONSISTENTLY UNDERPERFORMING GROUP.

SO THE CLOSING THE GAPS DOMAIN HAS FIVE INDICATORS.

IT'S ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR MATH, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR READING, ACADEMIC GROWTH FOR MATH, ACADEMIC GROWTH FOR READING.

AND THEN OUR STUDENT SUCCESS, WHICH IS THE PERCENT, APPROACHES ME SOME MEASURES FOR ALL THE TESTS.

AND IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT GROUP THAT FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS MISSED TWO OF THOSE THREE INDICATORS, THAT'S WHERE YOU GET YOUR TARGETED SUPPORT.

AND SO I LOOKED UP A FACT SHEET ON THE FEDERAL SUPPORT LABELS.

THERE'S A I THINK IT'S A SIX OR SEVEN PAGE DOCUMENT FACT SHEET PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND IT DEFINES THE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT LABEL AS.

FOUR. THESE ARE THE CRITERIA HOW YOU REACH THAT FEDERAL LABEL, THE LOWEST PERFORMING 5% OF TITLE ONE SCHOOLS IN THE STATE. HIGH SCHOOLS WITH GRADUATION RATES AT OR BELOW 67%, WHICH WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

TITLE ONE SCHOOLS WITH CHRONICALLY LOW PERFORMING SUBGROUPS TO YOUR.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SAYING THAT HAVE NOT IMPROVED AFTER IMPLEMENTING A TARGETED SUPPORT PLAN FOR A STATE DETERMINED NUMBER OF YEARS.

AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE TARGETED LABEL, IT'S DEFINED AS SCHOOLS WITH A SUBGROUP PERFORMING SIMILARLY TO ALL STUDENTS IN THE LOWEST PERFORMING 5% OF TITLE ONE SCHOOLS TO BE IDENTIFIED EACH TIME THE STATE IDENTIFIES ITS SCHOOLS FOR COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT AND SCHOOLS WITH A CONSISTENTLY UNDERPERFORMING SUBGROUP AS DEFINED BY THE STATE.

SO, YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS BEFORE I BECAME A TRUSTEE, I WAS WATCHING THESE BOARD MEETINGS.

I'VE BEEN UP HERE FOR TWO YEARS NOW.

IT'S BEEN A WEIRD TIME BECAUSE WHEN WE GOT ELECTED WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID THAT WE WERE HAVING THESE RATINGS COME OUT.

SO THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DOCUMENT TO BE PUBLISHED SINCE I GOT ELECTED.

AND SO I'VE REALLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME DIGGING INTO THIS IN A LOT OF WAYS.

I THINK OUR TENURE STARTS TODAY, STARTS THIS WEEK BECAUSE NOW WE FINALLY HAVE MEANINGFUL DATA AS OFFICE HOLDERS TO LOOK AT AND MOVE FORWARD. I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE SOME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FORREST NORTH, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY I WAS AT THAT CAMPUS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. FANTASTIC PRINCIPAL.

A LOT OF GREAT WORK GOING ON THERE.

WE'VE ALSO I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, THOUGH, DOUBLE FILE TRAIL.

I WAS THERE RECENTLY AND CALDWELL HEIGHTS, WHICH I'VE NOT BEEN TO RECENTLY, BUT I USED TO GO THERE FOR SIX YEARS.

THAT'S WHERE MY KIDS WENT TO SCHOOL.

THOSE THREE THOSE THREE CAMPUSES ARE THE PINK HIGHLIGHTS ON MY SHEET BECAUSE THOSE ARE THREE TITLE ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT WERE 70 OR ABOVE IN EVERY SINGLE DOMAIN.

SO WE HAVE, I THINK.

THREE CAMPUSES HERE THAT ARE MODELING THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE, THAT THIS IS DOABLE UNDER VERY CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

[02:05:02]

I'M NOT GOING TO YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY THERE'S THERE'S SEVEN OF US AND THERE'S A TEAM OF OF ADMINISTRATORS HERE AND TEACHERS TO HELP MAKE IMPROVEMENT. BUT I JUST KNOW THAT AS A MOM, THIS, YOU KNOW, EDUCATION, THIS IS A HIGH TOUCH INDUSTRY.

IT'S IT'S THE TEACHER EVERYTHING HINGES ON THE TEACHER AND THE TEXAS TECH SCHOOLS DOT GOV WEBSITE THAT YOU MENTIONED.

MR. SMITH HAS AN INTERESTING DATA POINT FOR EVERY CAMPUS AND THAT IS TEACHER TENURE BY EXPERIENCE LEVEL.

AND WHEN I LOOK AT THAT DATA, YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT I LOOK AT CALLISON.

AND I SEE THAT AT CARLSON 40% OF OUR TEACHERS AT CARLSON ELEMENTARY HAVE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

AND THEN I LOOK AT WE'VE GOT, LET'S SEE, 195 AND ABOVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A SCORE OF 95 OR ABOVE.

WE HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE OF CAMPUSES.

AND I JUST RANDOMLY PULLED UP TWO OF THEM.

AND ONE OF THEM, 50% OF THEIR TEACHERS HAVE MORE THAN 11 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

AND AT ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE VERY HIGH PERFORMING CAMPUSES, 35% OF THEIR TEACHERS HAVE MORE THAN 11 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

BUT INTERESTINGLY, AT THAT CAMPUS THAT'S VERY HIGH PERFORMING, ONE OUT OF FIVE TEACHERS IS A FIRST YEAR TEACHER.

AND I THINK WHAT I THINK THE THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION HERE THAT'S GREAT, BECAUSE EVERY CAMPUS IS ITS OWN LITTLE MICROCOSM, ITS OWN LITTLE CULTURE, ITS OWN DEMOGRAPHICS, ITS OWN STRENGTHS, ITS OWN WEAKNESSES.

AND I JUST CAN'T I HOPE THAT THIS IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING.

YOU KNOW, THE BOARD AND I APPRECIATE YOU NODDING, DR.

AZIZ. THE BOARD SETS THE WHAT AND THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE HOW.

SO I DON'T WANT TO VENTURE INTO THE HOW, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER THAT.

HOW TEACHER TENURE WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN YOU ADDRESS THE TEN CAMPUSES THAT HAVE FEDERAL SUPPORT LABELS.

SO, YEAH, GO AHEAD, SIR.

OH, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE.

TRUSTEE. WESTON.

I THINK EVERY RESEARCHER WOULD TELL YOU THE ONE THING THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN STUDENT SUCCESS IS THE TEACHER.

HAVING HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHERS IN EVERY CLASSROOM IS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT WILL MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN RETAIN AND WHETHER OUR GREAT TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S COMPENSATION, DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, CAREER PATHWAYS TO OUR TEACHERS SO THEY CAN REMAIN IN THERE, HOW CAN WE KEEP THE MORALE GOING AND KEEP THEM EXCITED AND SUPPORTED PROVIDING THE PROPER TRAINING? ALL THOSE ARE SO IMPORTANT AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT EDDIE IS HERE.

BUT I 100% AGREE.

WE NEED TO ALWAYS KEEP OUR BEST TEACHER AND RECRUIT THE BEST HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHER.

AND THEN I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THE SECOND ONE AFTER THAT IS REALLY HAVING AN INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER AT EVERY CAMPUS WHO WILL BE THERE TO SUPPORT AND ALSO TRAIN AND COACH OUR TEACHERS UP AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF OUR STUDENTS NEEDS.

SO I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE.

THANK YOU. AND AMBER, MAYBE THIS IS WHERE YOU WERE HEADED, WAS SORT OF IN THE SECOND PART.

I SIT HERE AND I LOOK AT ALL OF THIS AND I THINK, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? IS THAT KIND OF WHAT YOU WERE? DO WE NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER MEET THE MEETINGS? HELP. DOES TALKING ABOUT THIS MORE HELP? WHAT IS IT THAT WE CAN DO THAT HELP? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE? WELL, FROM A FROM A GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, OUR JOB IS TO TELL THE DISTRICT WHAT AND THEY TELL US HOW.

SO WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SIT UP HERE AND, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN HELP AND THINGS THAT WE WANT TO SEE SPECIFICALLY AT THE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

I MORE WAS TALKING ABOUT FROM A GOVERNANCE LEVEL, HOW CAN WE MONITOR WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT HE IS IMPLEMENTING AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE TARGETS THAT ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD ARE ALIGNED WITH WHAT THIS BOARD WANTS FOR THE DISTRICT AND SPECIFICALLY THE STUDENTS.

SO NOT, I GUESS.

MORE I'M ASKING OF WHAT FROM OUR GOVERNANCE ROLE, WHAT WE CAN DO TO STAY AWARE.

AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD THIS GROWTH MEASURE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE PUT A LOT A LOT OF TIME INTO THIS.

[02:10:02]

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT DOMAINS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT NOW.

DO WE WANT STELLAR PERFORMANCE ON EVERY SINGLE DOMAIN? ABSOLUTELY. IS IT GOING TO TAKE TIME TO DO THAT? ABSOLUTELY. BUT THAT'S WHY I THINK THE SYSTEM WAS SET UP, BECAUSE IN ORIGINALLY WHEN IT WAS JUST HOW DID YOU DO ON THIS ONE TEST THIS ONE DAY? AND THAT WASN'T ENOUGH TO SHOW THAT THERE REALLY IS GROWTH HAPPENING.

AND I WANTED MY QUESTION WAS, AS THESE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS ARE CHANGING IN THINGS, HOW CAN THE BOARD BE KEPT AWARE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN STUDENT SUCCESS? BECAUSE WE REALLY WE LOOK AT STAR ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE MOST PART, AND WE DON'T LOOK AS MUCH AT THE GROWTH RATINGS AND THE CLOSING THE GAPS FROM A BOARD PERSPECTIVE.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

OKAY. YEAH.

I MEAN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL FIND ME IN FULL SUPPORT OF OF THAT WHATEVER, WHATEVER IS HELPFUL BECAUSE IT SEEMS OVER.

IT'S OVERWHELMING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU WORK SO HARD TO GET TO THIS SEAT AND YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THIS DATA AND AGAIN, IT'S AN OVERWHELMING WEEK BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, FOR THE I THINK IN A LOT OF WAYS FOR THOSE WHO RECENTLY WERE ELECTED, OUR TENURES START THIS WEEK LARGELY BECAUSE WE FINALLY HAVE MEANINGFUL, RELEVANT RECENT INFORMATION.

GO AHEAD. DR.. NO, NO, I AGREE WITH YOU.

ADDRESS THE QUESTION.

I JUST WANT TO ALSO ADD ONE MORE THING.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE TRYING TO PUT MORE RESOURCES AND MORE FUNDS AND AGAIN, TO HELP NOT ONLY RETAIN BUT RECRUIT WHENEVER WE HAVE VACANCIES IN OUR ONE CAMPUS.

I CAN TELL YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATS AND AND I WAS ME AND MANY OTHERS, I'M SURE THEY WORKED ENTIRELY ON CAMPUSES, WHETHER THEY'RE TEACHERS, AP PRINCIPALS.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S I'M NOT SAYING IT'S IT'S NOT HARD WORK TO BE A TEACHER EVERYWHERE IT IS.

BUT IT'S EVEN HARDER WHEN YOU HAVE MORE CHALLENGES, RIGHT, COMING YOUR WAY EVERY DAY AND YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME.

AND OFTENTIMES, UNFORTUNATELY, I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENTITLED ON CAMPUSES, SOME OF THEIR GREAT TEACHERS, EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE BURNOUT IS IS A REALITY, LET'S FACE IT, THEY GET BURNOUT AND THEN EVENTUALLY MOVE TO A DIFFERENT CAMPUS, MAYBE WITH LESS LIKE FEWER STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR REDUCED LUNCH. BUT OUR JOB IS TO TRY TO RETAIN THAT HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS IN THESE PARTICULAR CAMPUSES, BECAUSE WE NEED THAT THE STUDENTS NEED HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS IN EVERY CLASSROOM, BUT IN PARTICULAR AND TITLE ONE CAMPUSES.

AND I GUESS MY MY LAST POINT I THINK IS MY LAST POINT.

I THINK THAT THE REASON THESE SORT OF LIKE A GOVERNOR ON THE ENGINE OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, THESE TRIGGERS THAT IF WE DON'T MEET THEM, IT PREVENTS US FROM GETTING AN A. I THINK THAT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO REMIND US, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING NOT JUST CELEBRATING THE SUCCESSES, BUT ALSO FOCUSING ON STUDENTS WHO WHO ARE WHO WHO ARE STRUGGLING, WHO NEED MORE SUPPORT. YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE WERE THE 92, YOU KNOW, AND DIDN'T HAVE THAT GOV MECHANISM TO HOLD US BACK AN 89 BUT EVEN IF WE WERE IN 92, I THINK THAT WOULD BRING LITTLE COMFORT TO THE PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO CAN'T READ ON GRADE LEVEL.

SO I, I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT THIS.

I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE AS WELL AND LOOK FORWARD TO, YOU KNOW, CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORK THAT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR US.

ABSOLUTELY. TRUST IT WASN'T.

AND THAT'S WHAT I SAID WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH PRESIDENT FELLER.

IF WE FOCUS ON THOSE NUMBERS, RIGHT, THE STUDENTS WHO ARE MORE STUDENTS WHO ARE SCORING MEETS, IN OTHER WORDS, READING ON GRADE LEVEL, DOING MATH AND GRADE LEVEL.

RIGHT. THE GOALS THAT OUR BOARD ESTABLISHED.

RIGHT WITH, WITH A LOT OF INPUT FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

RIGHT. THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT IS BECAUSE WE TRYING TO GET MORE STUDENTS READING, MOVING UP, MOVING AND READING GRADE LEVEL ON EVERY STUDENT GROUP.

WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF OUR STUDENTS COMPUTING OR DOING MATH ON OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL IN EVERY GROUP.

BUT THAT'S WHY THE GOALS THAT YOU ARE SET UP FOR US.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THERE ARE GOALS THAT WE NEED TO AIM FOR ALL OF US TO ENSURE THAT WE MEET.

AWESOME. NEXT, I HAVE DR.

JOHNSON. SO JUST QUICKLY, AS YOU MENTIONED.

YES. DEFINITELY THE RATINGS ARE CHANGING.

THEY JUST RELEASED A NEW IBC LIST TODAY, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE FUN TO COMB THROUGH.

AND ALSO ON THE TA WEBSITE, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS OR THE ACCOUNTABILITY, PLEASE GO AND TAKE A LOOK.

[02:15:06]

BUT THEY DO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEY DO TAKE YOUR OPINION.

SO MAKE SURE YOU GO AND GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THOSE RATINGS AND HOW THEY'RE CHANGING THOSE.

AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE, TOO, THAT WE PLAY A PART AS EVERYDAY CITIZENS.

I DID WANT TO KIND OF HONE IN ON I DO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FEDERAL ESSER FUNDS, PT CLASS, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.

HOW MUCH OF THAT DO YOU THINK REALLY BUTTRESS OR HELP? RIGHT. THIS IMPROVEMENT OR THE GROWTH THAT WE SAW IN THE DISTRICT AND HAVE OR.

FOR ME. HAVE WE? I KNOW. LIKE SOME LEARNING LOSS PROGRAMS. A NUMBER OF THOSE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.

HOW DO WE LOOK AS A DISTRICT WHEN THOSE FUNDS RIGHT THERE ARE ONE TIME AND NOT GIVEN CONSISTENTLY? ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS THAT MAY HAVE HELPED OR HOW CAN WE HELP TO MAYBE BUTTRESS WHAT MAY BE LOST FROM THOSE FEDERAL FUNDS NOW NOT EXISTING ANYMORE? I'D SAY SOME OF THE FIRST FIRST ANSWER TO THAT IS WE DID, I KNOW, USE A LOT OF ESSER FUNDS FOR INTERVENTION TYPE TYPE POSITIONS.

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A I DEFINITELY THINK A VALUE ADD GREATLY OVER THE LAST YEAR AS FAR AS PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE HAD IN PLACE.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE WERE WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THEM OVER THE YEAR AND SOME OF THEM WERE CONTINUING WITH SOME OF THEM.

WE'RE WE'RE TAKING A DIFFERENT TACT.

OBVIOUSLY, SCHOOL LOOKED DIFFERENT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AS WE HAD SOME KIDS LEARNING FROM HOME, SOME KIDS IN CLASS.

SO THE THINGS WE'VE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE FOUND VALUE IN FROM WHEN KIDS WERE AT HOME, SOME OF THOSE WERE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH KIDS.

BUT NOT NOT ALL OF THEM, HONESTLY, LIKE SOME OF THEM REALLY WERE PURCHASED AT A TIME TO FIT A NEED.

AND WHEN WE HAVE ALL KIDS IN CLASSES WITH A TEACHER, WE STILL NEED SOME PROGRAMS, BUT PROBABLY NOT TO THE SAME BREADTH THAT WE DID OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT IS TRUSTEE HARRISON.

THANK YOU. I HAD A SMALL QUESTION AND THEN TWO KIND OF THOUGHTS SLASH COMMENTS.

SO GOING BACK TO WHERE YOU SPOKE ABOUT CHANGES AND GROWTH METRIC FOR DOMAIN TWO AND VALUING GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT, I REALLY LOVE THAT, ESPECIALLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT LEVEL, BECAUSE IT CAN BE DEMORALIZING TO FEEL LIKE, WELL, I DIDN'T I DIDN'T HIT MEETS ON THE STAR LIKE I'VE COMPLETELY FAILED.

IS THAT ALSO COMMUNICATED THAT GROWTH METRIC ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL OR IS IT JUST ON A CAMPUS DISTRICT LEVEL? I DON'T KNOW IF MY QUESTION MAKES SENSE.

YOU SAID, IS IT COMMUNICATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL STUDENT LEVEL? YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT, OUR MEETING ON AUGUST 22ND, WE HAVE A CONSULTANT COME IN AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HER FOCUS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THE GIST OF THIS TO THE STUDENTS OUT TO THE CAMPUS.

BUT MOST CAMPUSES, THEY LOOK AT IT FROM A STUDENT PERSPECTIVE AND HOW THEIR STUDENTS GREW.

ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS AVAILABLE.

AND ACTUALLY, A PARENT, ANY PARENT CAN OR SHOULD HAVE ACCESS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SO THEY CAN SEE WHERE THEIR STUDENTS WAS THE YEAR BEFORE AND WHERE THEY AT. I SEE.

YEAH. SO PARENTS, I CAN ANSWER THAT BECAUSE ALL THE PARENTS WE GET THE START RESULTS AND WHEN WE GO IN WE CAN SEE ALL THE DATA FOR OUR STUDENTS.

DATA, YEAH.

FOR OUR INDIVIDUAL STUDENT.

SO WE KIND OF SEE THIS.

SO THEY SEE THEIR IMPROVEMENT.

I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WE GET A POINT AND A HALF, WE GET THREE POINTS.

IS THERE SOME KIND OF MECHANISM TO LET THEM KNOW? WILL YOU STILL SCORE IT AS A POINT? RIGHT. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF I DON'T KNOW IF IF WE GET AT THAT POINT.

IT MAY BE A SILLY QUESTION.

I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR LIKE HOW STUDENTS VALUE THEIR OWN GROWTH AND LEARNING.

AND, AND STUDENTS ARE MORE THAN JUST WHAT THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISTRICT VIA SCORE.

AND SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THAT AND HEAR THAT BECAUSE THAT'S AN EXCELLENT THING.

I WAS JUST WISHING THERE WAS SOME WAY THAT THAT WAS COMMUNICATED ON THE STUDENT LEVEL WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES OF LIKE MEETS EXCEEDS BLAH BLAH BLAH.

LIKE IF YOUR MEETS FOR THREE YEARS BUT YOU IMPROVE.

YOU CAN SEE THAT. BUT IS THAT CELEBRATED? MY SECOND THOUGHT IS.

I'M LOOKING AT THESE SLIDES AND THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF EVERY SLIDE.

AND I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT JENNY'S DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, AND I THINK PROBABLY DIANE FALLETTA AND IT SAYS IT STARTS WITH US.

AND SO WE'RE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS AND WE'RE COMBING THE DATA.

BUT I THINK THAT OUR CHARGE IS REALLY QUITE CLEAR AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE CLEAR MANDATES LIKE WE ARE IN CHARGE OF BUDGET.

SO THAT MEANS IF WE'RE SAYING WE VALUE TEACHERS AND IF WE'RE SAYING WE VALUE EDUCATORS ON CAMPUSES WHERE STUDENTS ARE STRUGGLING THE MOST, THEN WE ALSO CONTROL THAT MECHANISM.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOT THAT TEACHER SURVEY AND AS A BODY CORPORATE FOR THE BOARD, IT DID NOT REFLECT.

WELL, WE ALSO CONTROL THAT.

AND SO I'M NOT BEING SNARKY OR ACCUSATORY.

I'M SAYING US LIKE REALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS STARTS WITH US AND WHAT I THINK I HEAR YOU SAYING, INVERT.

I LOVE HOW WE'RE LIKE ALL INTERPRETING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHAT'S THE MECHANISM FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND HOW DO WE GET THAT FORMATIVE INFORMATION INSTEAD OF JUST AT THE

[02:20:06]

LIKE WHEN WE'RE RECEIVING THESE REPORTS, WE ARE PROGRESS MONITORING.

I LOVE THE DATA'S DISAGGREGATED BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE USUALLY DID IN THE PAST IN ROUND ROCK ISD.

SO WE WOULD KIND OF LIKE AVERAGE OUT AND WE'D HAVE AN A AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT WE WEREN'T LOOKING AT THE STUDENT GROUPS AND SO WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

TRUSTEE WESTON I AGREE WITH YOU.

I DO THINK IN SOME WAYS THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR TENURE, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE THE TOOLS THAT WE NEED, THE BUDGET.

LET'S SHOW UP AND DO OUR BEST TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOWARD BUDGET PAYING TEACHERS, ETC., ETC..

I JUST WANT TO ECHO WHAT YOU SAID.

AND THERE IS NO ONE MAGIC BULLET TO FIX OR IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.

THERE ARE MANY THINGS.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE DISCUSSED THE OTHER DAY, UNIVERSAL EVENTUALLY MAYBE UNIVERSAL PRE-K, THREE PRE-K FOR, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE STUDENTS TO START, YOU KNOW, ALSO EARLY IDENTIFICATION, YOU KNOW, FOR WHETHER IT'S FOR DYSLEXIA OR SPECIAL NEEDS.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE IN SECOND OR THIRD GRADE OR WHATEVER TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED, WHATEVER IT'S NEEDED TO HELP THE STUDENTS SUCCEED.

THINGS LIKE THIS CAN HELP ALONG WITH MANY OTHER THINGS, PROVIDING THE STRATEGIC SUPPORT, STRATEGIC STAFFING, RIGHT? THINGS LIKE THAT COULD.

SO IT'S A VARIETY OF THINGS AND IT HAS TO BE MORE LIKE A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR OUR STUDENTS.

NEXT IS TRUSTEE WEIR.

I PROMISE TO BE QUICK.

I DID WANT TO ACTUALLY THANK TRUSTEE WESTON FOR MENTIONING DOUBLE FILE AND CALDWELL HEIGHTS BECAUSE I DO THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS HIGHLIGHT OUR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS AND THE GREAT WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND THEIR TEACHERS ARE DOING.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR.

SHOUT OUT TO THEM.

AND I AM NOT GOING TO INTERPRET WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, BUT I DID HAVE A SUGGESTION AND I WAS WONDERING, BECAUSE I'M I'M SUPER EXCITED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BOTHERED ME BEFORE I GOT ON THE BOARD AND EVEN WHEN I WAS FIRST ON THE BOARD, WAS THE VERY STRICT FUNDING MECHANISM THAT WE HAD FOR OUR CAMPUSES, WHERE IT WAS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TEACHERS PER A NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

AND I KNOW TITLE ONE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT IT WAS IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE SAME THING FOR EVERY CAMPUS AND NOT REALLY LOOKING AT THE CAMPUS.

AND I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT WE'RE MOVING AWAY FROM THAT AND REALLY LOOKING AT OUR CAMPUSES.

AND I'M I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE TO WHAT TRUSTEE PRESIDENT FELLER SAID IS THAT WHEN WE'RE GETTING OUR LSG BREAKOUTS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT THINGS AND I KNOW WE'RE BREAKING OUT OUR STUDENT GROUPS, BUT WE ALSO LOOK AT CAMPUSES, IF WE CAN START TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE WHERE WHERE WE ARE DOING THESE EXTRA PROGRAMS, WHERE WE HAVE THE EXTRA SUPPORT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GOING TO SHOW WHERE THE GROWTH IS BECAUSE WE ARE PUTTING THAT EXTRA TIME AND THAT EXTRA OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS. AND IF WE CAN MAYBE HIGHLIGHT THOSE CAMPUSES TO REALLY SAY, LOOK AT HOW MUCH GROWTH WE'VE GOTTEN ON THESE CAMPUSES WHERE WE ARE DOING EXTRA STUFF AND THEN WE CAN JUST JUDGE AS A BOARD AND A DISTRICT.

IF THAT'S REALLY WORKING, MAYBE WE DO NEED TO PUT A LOT MORE MONEY INTO THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS. AND ONE MORE LITTLE SHOUT OUT, BECAUSE I DID MY TOURS WITH MR. KERN AND WHEN WE WERE AT ANDERSONVILLE THERE WAS A PRETTY AWESOME STUDENT TEACHER THERE WHO'D COME IN EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO, AND SHE WAS BILINGUAL, AND I THINK HE'S MAYBE ALREADY SET HER UP FOR AN INTERVIEW.

SO HE WAS DOING A GREAT JOB RECRUITING FOR US, SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE SHOUT OUT.

OUR AIR HAS DONE SOME AMAZING THINGS TO GET US STAFF THIS YEAR, SO WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT.

NEXT IS TRUSTEE BONE.

THANK YOU. A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.

ONE OF THEM GOES BACK TO THE TARGETED SUPPORT.

CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT DO WE GET FEDERAL MONEY FOR THAT WHEN THEY'RE LABELED LIKE THAT OR IS IT ALL ON US? SO IT'S NO, SO THAT YEAH, THERE'S NO FUNDING.

SO WE HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER THESE PLANS AND THERE'S NO EXTRA FUNDING.

I MEAN, THEY'RE TITLE ONE SCHOOL.

SO WE DO GET EXTRA FUNDING FOR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S TARGETED SUPPORT.

CAMPUSES AREN'T NECESSARILY TITLE ONE CAMPUSES.

SO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TRUE.

COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT CAMPUSES MUST BE TIGHT ON ONE PERSON.

THAT'S A CAVEAT FOR THAT ONE.

BUT NO FEDERAL DOLLARS.

OKAY. SO THAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION.

AND THE OTHER ONE KIND OF GOES BACK, ACTUALLY, I THINK, TO WHAT LOTS OF THE OTHER TRUSTEES WERE TALKING ABOUT.

AND IT'S ONE THING THAT IF YOU GO BACK WHEN WE'VE DONE SOME OF OUR GOAL SETTING MEETINGS AND I'VE KIND OF ASKED THIS QUESTION, IS LSG RIGHT FOR US? BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE ACCOUNTABILITY DATA AND THEN I ALSO HAVE THE LSG BOARD GOALS.

AND I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THEY'LL SEE BOARD GOALS.

AND SOME OF THESE ARE SET BY THE STATE THEY'RE REQUIRED FOR US TO DO, WHICH IS FINE, BUT IT KIND OF GOES BACK THEN AGAIN TO WHAT TRUSTEE VESSA WAS SAYING IS THAT, HEY, IF WE'RE IF

[02:25:06]

IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO OUR JOB AS A BOARD AND WE'RE LIMITING OURSELVES BECAUSE OF THE TOOL WE'RE USING.

I HOPE WE'RE ALL SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.

WE'RE NOT POSTED TO TALK ABOUT WEATHER.

WELL, I AM. YEAH.

I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF.

AND I'M JUST SAYING KEEP TRY TO KEEP IT QUITE QUICK ON THAT ONE.

AND WELL, I'M MOVING TO THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS HERE.

IS THAT HOW DOES THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS THAT YOU JUST SHOWED US, HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE OR CORRELATE TO THE DISTRICT LSG GOALS AND THE CPMS? AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I KNOW I PERSONALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND.

AND THEN I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I THINK MULTIPLE TRUSTEES AND TRUSTEE VESSA IS SHAKING YOUR HEAD.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED BECAUSE WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE'RE MONITORING THESE CPMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE STAR AND WHEN WE GET TO THE ACCOUNTABILITY, THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF WAY TO PREDICT THAT.

AND SO I GUESS WHAT I MEAN IS, CAN WE GO LOOK AT THE CPMS AND CAN WE LOOK AT THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND SEE IF THE DATA WE ARE GETTING PER CAMPUS ACTUALLY KIND OF CORRELATES TO THE DATA THAT WE SAW ON THE STAR AND THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS? DR. BONE THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.

SO LET ME JUST GO BACK TO GOAL ONE, TWO AND THREE THAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE STATE THROUGH HOUSE BILL FIVE.

THE REASONING BEHIND WHY THEY CAME UP WITH THAT AND REALLY KIND OF FOCUS ON THIRD GRADE IS BECAUSE BASED ON THE RESEARCH, IF STUDENTS DO WELL IN GENERAL, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS MAYBE CHANGES.

BUT OVERALL, IF THE STUDENTS DO WELL, IF THEY ARE READING ON OR ABOVE A GREATER IN THIRD GRADE, IF THEY'RE DOING MATH ON OR ABOVE GRADE BY THIRD GRADE, THAT MOST LIKELY THOSE KIDS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE REST OF THEIR K THROUGH 12 EDUCATION AND MOST LIKELY ALSO END UP GOING TO COLLEGE OR BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CAREER OR WHATEVER.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHY I GUESS THE STATE AND HOUSE BILL FIVE, I GUESS WAS WAS A THREE I'M SORRY, I, I GET MY NUMBERS WRONG, BUT I WAS WITH THREE.

I WAS HELPING YOU OUT. YES, SORRY.

BUT THAT'S REALLY WHY WE WE ALSO FOCUS ON THEM.

BUT AGAIN, WE ARE VERY MUCH OPEN.

REMEMBER, THE THE LSG GOALS ARE BOTH GOALS.

SO IF YOU WANT US TO COME BACK AND OR ASK ALL OF US TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT OTHER GOALS AND BE MORE THAN HAPPY, BUT WE ARE THROUGH HOUSE BILL THREE, AND THE REASONING BEHIND IT AGAIN IS BECAUSE IF WE GET THEM ON OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL BY THIRD GRADE, THEY'LL BE SUCCESSFUL.

RIGHT. AND AND I KNOW THAT'S GREAT.

I KNOW WE'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO ACTUALLY TRACK THAT, BUT I GUESS I'M MORE INTERESTED IS THAT AND MAYBE WE NEED A WHOLE NOTHER SYSTEM THAT WE TRACK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND MAYBE THEY'RE LOFTY GOALS.

I DON'T REALLY CARE HOW WE DO IT, BUT I DO HEAR ALMOST ALL THE TRUSTEES UP HERE SAYING THAT I THINK WE WANT TO KIND OF KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR, WHEN IT COMES TO ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS, BECAUSE THIS IS A GOOD WAY, RIGHT? I MEAN, PEOPLE CAN DEBATE STAR, BUT IT IS A WAY THAT WE KIND OF GET HOW WE'RE DOING COMPARED TO OTHER STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR DISTRICT.

SO IT IS THE ONLY TOOL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

SO I THINK I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO START EXPLORING THIS.

I KNOW THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A PROCESS.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO SOON.

BUT I HOPE OTHER TRUSTEES ARE OPEN TO THAT AND JUST KIND OF MOVING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT JUST OPEN TO IF WE NEED A DIFFERENT TOOL TO KIND OF PREDICT OUR ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS AND HAVE THAT KIND OF WHAT YOU WERE SAYING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

WELL, I WASN'T RECOMMENDING A DIFFERENT TOOL BY ANY MEANS.

I'M JUST SAYING I HOPE IF I'M JUST SAYING IF OUR G BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

ALL ALL I KNOW WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS OUR CPMS. THAT'S WHAT WE USUALLY TRACK AND WATCH AND MONITOR.

AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THEY ACTUALLY ARE A GOOD PREDICTOR AND CORRELATE AND ACTUALLY HELP US SEE WITHIN THE STAR IF THAT'S WHERE WE NEED HELP THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY NOT POSTED BUT IT DOES RELATE TO ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD TWO YEARS AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE BEEN.

IF YOU LOOK ON SLIDE TWO, THE MAJORITY OF THE TWO YEARS YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD ARE NOT ON THIS CHART.

AND BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

AND SO IT'S WE ARE HAVING TO REINVENT, REINVENT EXACTLY HOW WE'RE MEASURING AND, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE.

WE DIDN'T REALLY EVEN KNOW WHERE WE WERE WHEN, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY YOU GUYS GOT ON THE BOARD BECAUSE SO MUCH HAS BEEN IN FLUX.

HOLD ON. YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR MICROPHONE ON.

BUT YEAH, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT NOW THAT WE ARE COMING OUT OF THIS AND WE ARE SEEING WHERE WE ARE NOW, IF THERE NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTMENTS IN BOARD GOALS AND THE CHANGING IN THESE ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES, WE OWN THAT PROCESS.

[02:30:04]

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT WE DON'T OWN THE RPMS, BUT WE CAN GIVE FEEDBACK TO OUR ONE EMPLOYEE AND SAY, OKAY, THIS ISN'T REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO TRACK OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT WE CAN GIVE THAT FEEDBACK.

RIGHT. SO OUR GOALS, I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY ALL WE HAVE.

RIGHT. AND, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS I MEAN, WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR THIS, BUT THE THE WHOLE GOAL FOR US IS TO HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT WITH ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS.

AND I'M PERSONALLY NOT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT EVERY YEAR UNTIL WE GET TO BASICALLY THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND BE LIKE, OH, HOW DID WE DO IT LAST SCHOOL YEAR? I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE'RE USING, WHETHER IT'S G OR CPMS, THAT WHEN WE GET TO THIS AND I DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WERE SURPRISED AND LIKE YOU SAID, WE'RE COMING OUT OF A PANDEMIC.

BUT I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR A WHILE.

AND AND I DO KNOW IN 2018 19, WHEN WE GOT TO BE AND WE HAD FAILING SCHOOLS, I MEAN, AT LEAST PEOPLE ACTED SURPRISED.

I WASN'T ON THE BOARD, BUT PEOPLE ACTED SURPRISED.

SO THAT TOLD ME EITHER THEY WEREN'T TRANSPARENT OR WHAT IT PROBABLY MEANT TO ME IS THAT WHATEVER THEY WERE MONITORING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WASN'T THE TOOL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN USING.

SO JUST AS AN ENGINEER, AS SOMEBODY THAT LOOKS AT DATA AND I MEAN SOME THAT'S WHAT YOUR DIVISION DOES IS CAN HELP US.

RIGHT, FIGURE OUT IF WE'RE WATCHING THE RIGHT THINGS.

CAN I MAKE A STATEMENT ON THAT FIRST BECAUSE WE WEREN'T USING LSG.

I MEAN, THAT WAS IT WAS REALLY A PROBLEM.

AND IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT THE PREVIOUS BOARD WENT TO LSG WAS SO WE WERE LOOKING AT DATA AT, AT THOSE CHECKPOINTS FOR THE CPMS AND KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE WHAT WAS PREDICTIVE OF WHAT WOULD BE COMING AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WOULD NOT BE A SURPRISE.

YEAH. AND CAN I JUST SAY I'M NOT ARGUING LSG I'M JUST SAYING AS SOMEBODY THAT UNDERSTANDS MATH, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CORRELATE WHICH IT SOUNDS.

I'M SURE YOU CAN'T. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CORRELATE THIS ACCOUNTABILITY DATA TO OUR LSG CPMS AND UNDERSTAND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR KIND OF PREDICTING OUR ACCOUNTABILITY THROUGH OUR CPMS. IF WE CAN'T DO THAT, IF WE DON'T, IF THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY AND WE CAN'T DO THAT FOR ME AS SOMEBODY THAT UNDERSTANDS MATH AND DATA SCIENCE, THAT'S A PROBLEM.

I NEED I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT PRETTY WELL.

AND I THINK WE CAN DO BOTH.

I FEEL WE ARE WAY OFF TOPIC HERE.

WE ARE REALLY DIPPING DOWN INTO WHAT WE ARE NOT POSTED ABOUT.

WELL, IT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS.

NOW WE'RE TALKING WE ARE REALLY NOT POSTED FOR THIS TRUSTEES.

SO IF I HAVE QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE, I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK TO THAT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT POSTED FOR ANY KIND OF THIS DISCUSSION.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SUGGEST THAT MAYBE TO GET US BACK ON TRACK THAT I MEAN, THAT SOUNDS LIKE LIKE A ONE ON ONE CONVERSATION TO GO THROUGH THE DATA.

TRUSTEE. WESTON.

SO. IN JULY WE HAD A MEETING AND I ASKED DR.

AZIZ, I SAID, I KNOW THE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS DON'T COME OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT DO YOU GUYS KNOW KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, WHAT YOU THINK IS COMING? AND I THINK THIS IS KIND OF MAYBE WHAT DR.

BOWEN IS GETTING AT.

YOU GUYS ACTUALLY WERE NOT SURPRISED ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK BECAUSE.

WELL, I GUESS WE GOT IT ON FRIDAY OFFICIALLY.

RIGHT, THE DISTRICT. BUT EVEN BACK IN JULY, YOU GUYS WERE LOOKING AT WHAT WAS GOING TO BE MEASURED OR YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT IT BEFORE JULY.

CAN YOU JUST HELP US UNDERSTAND? SO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY DO ALREADY? I CAN TALK ABOUT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE HALF OF THE TEST.

YOU KNOW, ERICA, DEFINITELY JUMP IN IF ANYTHING INCORRECT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE STUDENTS TAKE THE TEST NEAR THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

WE GET OUR FIRST ROUND OF RESULTS PRETTY QUICKLY AT THAT POINT.

BUT THEN WE CONTINUE TO GET UPDATED DATA SETS FROM T.A.

THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE, AS DR.

AZIZ MENTIONED, THEY SHIFTED TO A NEW TESTING PLATFORM.

WE WE CONTINUED TO GET CORRECTED UPDATED DATA SETS ALL THE WAY UNTIL LATE JULY.

SO, I MEAN, WE HAD IDEAS, YOU KNOW, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FINAL BY ANY MEANS UNTIL.

SO I MEAN, WE HAD WE HAD SOME IDEAS AND THEY WERE PRETTY CLOSE, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY CHANGING A LOT MORE THAN WE WOULD HAVE LIKED.

OC SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT EARLY ON IT LOOKED BETTER AND THEN IT GOT A LITTLE BIT? NO, NO, THE THEY KIND OF LET US KNOW ALONG THE WAY THAT LIKE THIS IS YOUR FIRST SET OF PRELIMINARY DATA.

AND THEN THE NEXT SET WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY'RE FIGURING OUT WHICH KIDS COUNT IN THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SET.

AND, AND I DON'T KNOW ALL THE OTHER THINGS THEY DO AT THE TEST SO THAT IT CHANGES.

THE TESTS ARE ADMINISTERED IN APRIL IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

APRIL-MAY OH, IS IT MAY, APRIL AND MAY, APRIL OR MAY REMEMBER YOU'LL SEE THEY WERE THEY WERE TWO EOC.

I THINK THEY WERE DONE IN APRIL, I THINK.

AND THEN THE REST, THE MAJORITY OF THE START IS DONE IN MAY.

OKAY. THAT CHANGED A FEW YEARS AGO BECAUSE THERE WAS THEY WERE DONE IN APRIL, IN MY UNDERSTANDING, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING THEY WERE DONE IN APRIL.

[02:35:04]

AND SO THAT WAS REMOVED BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO IN THE PAST, THEY'LL TAKE EARLY TESTS AND THEN COME BACK AGAIN FOR A SECOND ADMINISTRATION IN MAY AND THEN EVEN THIS SUMMER, IN THE PAST, WE HAVE A THIRD ADMINISTRATION AND NOW NOW THEY ONLY HAVE ONE.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEBODY WITH A OLDER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

SO I'VE NOT HAD THAT FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE TOO, YOU KNOW, IN SUPER RECENT YEARS.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE LAST THING I JUST WANTED TO SAY WAS, YOU KNOW.

INTERESTING. WE WERE TALKED ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, WE HAVE CAMP AND I TALKED ABOUT IT.

WE HAVE CAMPS FOR DOING THINGS REALLY WELL.

I REMEMBER BEFORE I GOT ELECTED, AREA SUPERINTENDENTS WOULD COME UP TO WHERE YOU'RE SITTING AND WOULD GIVE THE BOARD A BRIEFING, AN UPDATE ON THE LEARNING COMMUNITY.

I'M WONDERING GIVEN I MEAN, I WOULD LEAVE IT TO YOU, DR.

AZIZ, BUT THERE ARE THREE CAMPUSES THAT REALLY STICK OUT TO ME ON THIS LIST.

AND THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT A-RATED CAMPUSES, BUT THEY'RE DOING AMAZING WORK.

AND, I MEAN, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR THOSE PRINCIPALS TO COME HERE AND ADDRESS US AND TELL US THINGS THAT THEY THINK THAT WE SHOULD KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS SHARE THAT, BUT THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS I SAID, WE OUR CAMPUSES RIGHT NOW ARE PRINCIPALS AND THEIR TEAMS ARE WORKING ON THE CAMPUS PLAN.

WE DEFINITELY CAN. AND I'M LOOKING AT OUR AREA OF SUPERIOR.

I'M SORRY I'M NOT PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT WE DEFINITELY CAN INVITE OUR THOSE THREE PRINCIPALS TO COME AND MAYBE TALK ABOUT THEIR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN, BUT ALSO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY WERE ABLE, WITH THE HELP OF THEIR TEAM, ACHIEVE THESE GREAT RESULTS.

I MEAN, AROUND VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, IT'S A VERY COMMON PRACTICE TO BRING IN A SUCCESS STORY FOR FOR MANY REASONS.

IT OFFERS INSPIRATION, IT OFFERS HOPE.

IT'S FOR I MEAN, I DON'T THINK A BOARD MEETING WOULD BE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT BUT THERE'S JUST A LOT TO BE BENEFITED FROM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO START IN SO MANY THINGS IN LIFE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO START FROM SCRATCH.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.

YOU CAN LOOK AROUND AND YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING IT.

WELL, CAN WE DO THAT REAL QUICK? THAT HAPPENS. BUT THAT'S ABOUT TO SAY WE DO THAT.

A LOT OF PRINCIPAL MEETINGS, WHENEVER WE HAVE LIKE PTA WITH PRINCIPALS, WE HAVE ACTUALLY PRINCIPALS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN WE DID OUR SUMMER LEADERSHIP, WE HAD ACTUALLY PRINCIPALS PRESENTING ON THINGS THAT WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT THEIR CAMPUSES.

AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO PUT OUR AREA SUITS, BUT THEY CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THE PRESENTATION THAT OUR SUCCESSFUL PRINCIPAL CAME AND ALSO KIND OF, I WOULD SAY THOUGHT, BUT, YOU KNOW, COACH OR EXPLAIN OR DEMONSTRATED WHAT THEY WERE DOING GREAT IN THEIR CAMPUSES.

I WOULD BE REMISS WITHOUT SAYING THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE PRINCIPALS COME.

I, I HAVE TO SAY I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FEAR ABOUT PERHAPS SOME OF THE TOXICITY THAT SOMETIMES COMES FROM THE DAIS.

AND I WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T PASS ANY OF THAT ALONG TO STAFF THAT DOESN'T REPORT TO THE BOARD.

SO THAT WOULD BE I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT, I'M NOT MAKING ANY ACCUSATIONS, BUT I, I WANT TO PROTECT AND INSULATE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY ON THE FRONT LINES AND THAT WE'RE NOT.

YOU SAW OUR REPORT.

SO THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY NEXT.

WELL, HONESTLY, MAYBE IT'S JUST INFORMATION IN A BOARD UPDATE.

LIKE I'M NOT EVEN SAYING IT HAS TO BE AT A PUBLIC MEETING.

THAT WAS JUST AN IDEA.

BUT AND I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A BAD IDEA.

I JUST I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROTECTING AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT EXPOSURE TO THEM.

TRUSTEE HARRISON THEN? TRUSTEE JOHNSON YEAH.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD A REALLY ROBUST CONVERSATION AND I ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS IS OUR TIME TO ALSO IMPLEMENT LSG WITH FIDELITY, WHICH WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO, BUT WE'VE BEEN ON THIS CONVERSATION FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

SO, MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT WE LIMIT OUR DEBATE TO NO MORE THAN 2 MINUTES PER MEMBER ON THIS ISSUE.

AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE A SECOND.

AND THEN IT'S ALSO A TWO THIRDS VOTE BY SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND TO LIMIT NO MORE THAN TWO MORE MINUTES PER TRUSTEE TO FINISH THIS UP.

GO AHEAD. JUST I THINK I'M DONE.

SO IT'S NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME.

BUT I DON'T I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIMIT OTHERS BEING ABLE TO TALK ON WHAT I THINK.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? UNBEATABLE MOTION, THOUGH? OH, IT'S NOT A DEBATABLE MOTION. OKAY.

I'M SORRY. I DON'T HAVE IT PULLED UP IN FRONT OF ME.

OKAY. SO LIMIT ANY FURTHER COMMENTS TO 2 MINUTES PER TRUSTEE.

ALL IN FAVOR. RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES FIVE TO OK.

NEXT IS TRUSTEE JOHNSON.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SIMPLY SAY, THIS IS A GREAT DISCUSSION, BUT I THINK IT'S MORE OF A WORKSHOP THAN A RIGHT, AN OPEN MEETING CONVERSATION.

AND I WOULD SAY THAT ALSO ADD THE FACT THAT WHEN WE'RE DOING BOY MORE AND EOI, THAT'S THE PREPARATION AND THE SAME DATA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITHIN LSG.

[02:40:03]

AWESOME. I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON.

SO I THINK WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, IT IS 816.

WE ARE GOING TO END ITEM F TWO AND I JUST ASK, HOW MANY MINUTES DO WE GET FOR THAT? THAT WAS STUDENT OUTCOMES.

WE STARTED IT AT 657 AND WE FINISHED AT 816.

SO IT'S A PRETTY SIX PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

79. 79.

YEP. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM G ONE, OUR 2022, 2023 STUDENT PARENT HANDBOOK.

[G. DISCUSSION ITEMS]

AZAIEZ. OH, I HAVE ONE LAST THING, RYAN.

WOULD YOU MIND ADDING THAT WEBSITE TO YOUR PRESENTATION, THE SCHOOLS? YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE, BUT IT'S I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT JUST MAKE SURE IF SOMEBODY PULLS UP THE PRESENTATION THAT THAT WEBSITE IS ON YOUR. THANK YOU. SORRY.

NOW WE'RE BACK ON TO THE STUDENT PARENT HANDBOOK AND NO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AGAIN. SO I THINK WE SENT OUR THE STUDENT HANDBOOK TO ALL OUR TRUSTEES LAST WEEK AND THEY WERE MINOR CHANGES.

I DON'T KNOW. YOU PROBABLY NOTICED INCLUDING ED IN THE 20 MINUTES, RIGHT? JUST SEE, WE'RE AT 20 MINUTES FOR THE RECESS.

SO WE HAVE WITH US DR.

CARLA WITH US TONIGHT.

SO SHE WILL BE LEADING US THROUGH REALLY QUICK SOME OF THE CHANGES.

AGAIN, VERY MINOR, BUT ALSO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS.

SO DR..

OKAY. THERE WE GO. THANK YOU.

SO OUR STUDENT PARENT HANDBOOK COMES TO YOU TONIGHT AND PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FORM THAT IT WAS LAST YEAR.

REALLY, ONLY TWO MAJOR CONTENT CHANGES.

ONE. OUR MS..

DEPARTMENT LOOKED OVER THE ATTENDANCE SECTION AND MADE SOME CHANGES AND EDITS REVISIONS FOR CLARITY.

AND THEN WE ALSO TOOK THE SHOCK RECOMMENDATION AND REINSTATED THE VERBIAGE ABOUT RECESS UNDER THE SECTION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REQUIRED.

SO EVERY YEAR WE TAKE THE TAB MODEL, BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE DID NOT.

AND SO WE MADE THAT SWITCH TO THE TASSIE MODEL AND THAT'S WHEN INADVERTENTLY THE RECESS PIECE FELL OFF AND SAID THE SHACK HAD CAUGHT THAT THIS PAST YEAR.

SO WE GOT THAT BACK ON. NO PROBLEM.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STUDENT PARENT HANDBOOK? TRUSTEES. I DON'T SEE ANY LIGHTS ON.

AM I MISSING ANYBODY? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE MOVING TO OUR ITEMS FOR CONSENT TRUSTEES.

[H. ACTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION BY CONSENT]

SO IF THERE ARE ANY MOTIONS, PLEASE EXCUSE AGENDA.

AGENDA ITEM H TWO FROM YOUR MOTION LANGUAGE.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ACTION ITEMS H ONE THROUGH H 13, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF H TO WAIVE FIRST READING AN ADOPTION OF POLICY DC LOCAL.

CAN YOU. IS THERE EASIER? CAN YOU SIMPLIFY THAT AND JUST SAY H ONE AND H THREE, THREE, 13? YES, I CAN. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE H ONE.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAW YOUR FIRST MOTION.

IT DIDN'T GET A FIRST.

NO. SORRY. I'M GETTING BETTER AT MY ROBERT'S RULES IN A SECOND, SO I DIDN'T NEED TO.

YEAH, KNOW IT DIDN'T GET A SECOND, BUT JUST PROCEDURALLY.

YES. YEAH. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEMS H ONE AND H THREE THROUGH 13 OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? TRUSTEE. BONE. I DID HAVE ONE COMMENT.

I'M NOT PULLING IT, BUT I DO GO BACK THROUGH THE AGENDA THE DAY OF THE MEETING TO REFRESH MY MIND AND I PULL UP BECAUSE WHAT FOLKS MAY NOT KNOW IS WE ACTUALLY GET A PACKET TEN DAYS EARLIER.

IT'S NOT WHAT'S ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA.

AND THEN SOMETIMES WHAT'S ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE WERE GIVEN IN OUR PACKET AND WE'RE NOT TOLD.

AND SO THE AGENDA ACTUALLY WORKS.

CAN YOU. YEAH. SO H 12 IS NEW.

THAT WAS NOT ON THE DRAFT AGENDA THAT WE HAD BEEN GIVEN TEN DAYS AGO.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT SHOWED UP.

AND THIS IS THE APPROVAL OF THE SELL PROPERTIES IS APPROVED BY TRAVIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

AND FOR THAT REASON, JUST BECAUSE IT KIND OF CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD TODAY AND I'M NOT ASKING TO PULL IT, BUT I THAT AND THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES THERE ARE BOARD MINUTES THAT I BELIEVE ARE INCORRECT. SO I WILL BE VOTING NO ON CONSENT TONIGHT.

TRUSTEE. WESTON. I ACTUALLY FOUND THE SAME THING.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS NUMBER 12 SELLING PROPERTY UNTIL THE AGENDA WAS OFFICIALLY POSTED FOR THE PUBLIC ON MONDAY NIGHT.

SO I WAS PREPARING FOR THE MEETING ON TUESDAY.

SO THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MEETING WE'VE HAD THIS WEEK.

WE HAD A LONG MEETING ON TUESDAY, SO I'VE NOT HAD THE TIME TO PROPERLY GO THROUGH THAT EITHER.

[02:45:02]

TRUSTEE VESSA. YEAH, I HAD A CONCERN ON 1202 AND SO I EMAILED THE I NO DOCTOR AS I USE AND ACTUALLY GOT IT CLEARED UP.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST EMAIL AND GET GET CLARIFICATION BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THAT'S APPROPRIATE TO TO ASK BECAUSE I CHOOSE SAW THAT I'M LIKE I'VE NEVER EVER SEEN THAT ON AN AGENDA BEFORE.

AND SO I ASKED AND THEY GOT ME THAT CLARIFICATION.

WELL, I'LL SAY I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU MOVING CHILDREN TO COLLEGE.

SO WHEN I SEE IT ON MONDAY NIGHT, WE HAVE A MEETING ON TUESDAY NIGHT.

I MEAN, THERE'S LOTS OF COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAVE.

I CAN'T JUST SIT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT REALISTIC.

SO LET ME ADD SOMETHING.

I THINK I THINK AND AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO SEND THE STAFF TEN DAYS, ALL THESE PACKAGES, INCLUDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE FOR OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES. SOMETIMES THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPENS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE APPROVAL OF SALE OF PROPERTIES APPROVED BY THE TRAVIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DID NOT PRODUCE.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT ADMINISTRATION CAME UP WITH THE LAST MINUTE.

IT'S JUST THE TRAVIS COUNTY SENT IT TO US LATE.

SO WE HAD TO ADD THAT.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, AND I KNOW OBVIOUSLY, WHATEVER OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES WOULD LIKE ADMINISTRATION TO GO, WHAT WHATEVER YOU WANT US TO GO, WE'LL GO.

BUT THIS IS THE TRAVIS COUNTY IS JUST NOTIFYING US THAT THEY ARE SELLING A PROPERTY.

AND BECAUSE WE ARE A TAX, WE COLLECT TAXES.

RIGHT. FOR PROPERTIES INCLUDING TRAVIS COUNTY.

SO THEY ARE NOT DEFINED AS THIS PROPERTY THAT YOU GUYS ARE COLLECTING TAX FROM.

WE ARE SELLING IT.

AND SO, AGAIN, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS ADDED OR SENT TO US LAST MINUTE, NOT BECAUSE OF US WANTED TO SEND IT A LAST MINUTE OR WE ADDED THE LAST MINUTE IS BECAUSE THE TRAVIS COUNTY SENT THIS TO US LAST MINUTE AND IT'S THEY ASK US TO SHARE IT WITH YOU, WITH OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS NOTHING HAS TO DO WITH ADMINISTRATION.

THERE'S NOTHING HAD TO DO PER SE WITH WHATEVER WE DO IS JUST THE TRAVIS COUNTY SENATE AND THIS PROPERTY.

ANYONE IDENTIFY OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES? YEAH. OUR BOARD POLICY STATES THAT NOTHING CAN BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA EIGHT DAYS AND I BELIEVE WE'RE CHANGING THAT TO TEN.

SO I WAS JUST SURPRISED THAT SHOWED UP AND IT KIND OF GOES AGAINST BOARD POLICY AND I KNOW WE'RE BEING VERY STRICT ON THAT.

SO ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S A GENDER REQUEST THAT'S FROM BOARD MEMBERS.

NOT THAT NOTHING CAN BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA.

IT'S NO AGENDA REQUEST EIGHT DAYS PRIOR, AS I SAID AND I CAN TELL YOU AND AND AND PERRY DOES AN AWESOME JOB KEEPING UP.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE STAFF LIKE I PROBABLY TIRED OF US LETTING THEM KNOW YOU NEED TO GET THE STUFF REALLY WE DON'T HAVE TIME ANYMORE BECAUSE WE NEED TO SEND THE STAFF LIKE I SEE SOME OF THEM SHAKING THEIR HEADS.

YES. BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE WHATEVER THEY NEED TO, LIKE, PREPARE FOR THE BOARD TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE. SO I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S REALLY THE TRAVIS COUNTY THAT SENT THIS INFORMATION TO US LATE.

OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OC C NONE.

THE MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS. I'M SORRY. H ONE AND THREE 313.

ALL IN FAVOR OF RAISE YOUR HAND I'LL OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE TWO THAT TAKES US TO ITEMS I ONE DISCUSSION AND

[I. ACTION ITEMS]

POINT OF ORDER. YES, MADAM CHAIR, DO WE NEED TO GO BACK AND DO H TWO? WE'LL PULL IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EYES.

THANK YOU. YEAH, THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT FELLER. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU.

AND I THINK YOU HEARD I THINK IT WAS ONE SPEAKER, I THINK, WHO TALKED ABOUT IT.

COVID IS STILL AROUND US, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

RIGHT. WE STILL HAVE STAFF, STUDENTS WHO ARE GETTING SICK AND THEY HAVE TO STAY HOME FOR FIVE DAYS.

SO WE'RE COMING TO OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES TONIGHT TO ASK YOU TO APPROVE OUR DISTRICT TO PROVIDE FIVE ADDITIONAL PAID LEAVE IN CASE, OBVIOUSLY, OUR STAFF MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S POSITIVE AND THAT WILL HELP TWO WAYS.

ONE IS ONE IS TO, YOU KNOW, TO HELP OUR STAFF AND TEACHERS.

RIGHT. BE AT HOME WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT USING THEIR OWN PERSONAL DAYS.

BUT NUMBER TWO IS ALSO TO REDUCE BECAUSE IT REDUCE THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.

WE DON'T WANT THEM TO SHOW UP TO WORK, OBVIOUSLY, AND HAVE OTHER OTHER STUDENTS OR OTHER STAFF ON.

SO, EDDIE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE TO THAT.

THANK YOU, DR. AZIZ. NO, I'M FINE.

THAT'S. THAT'S IT. TRUSTEE HARRISON.

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND WE'RE SAYING WE WANT TO DO MORE FOR OUR TEACHERS.

I THINK THAT THIS IS AN EASY THING TO DO.

SO I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ADOPT THE RESOLUTION FOR EXTENDED LEAVE DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC FOR ALL EMPLOYEES THROUGH JUNE 30TH.

2023 SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ANY OTHER?

[02:50:04]

HOW DOES THIS IMPACT THE BUDGET? I'M KIND OF WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM? I MEAN, I'M ALL FOR IT.

I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND, I MEAN, THE DAYS THAT ARE TAKEN OFF, WE WOULD HAVE SUBSTITUTED COVERAGE AGAINST EDUCATOR COVERAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY IT PAYS EMPLOYEES WHEN THEY'RE ABSENT.

SO THERE WOULD BE A BUDGET IMPACT, I WOULD ASSUME I COULDN'T PUT A NUMBER TO IT TODAY, BUT THERE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE A BUDGET IMPACT.

I GUESS WE LOOKED AT THIS AND WE'RE PROJECTED INTO THE BUDGET AND WE'RE GOOD.

I JUST I MEAN, MONEY, THIS IS TIED TO SOMETHING.

THOSE POSITIONS ARE FULLY FUNDED IN THE BUDGET.

SO THEY WOULDN'T GET ANY EXTRA.

THEY JUST GET PAID FOR THE STATUTE.

SO SO SO THEIR BUDGETS FOR BUT I THINK SO IF I'M A TEACHER AND I GET SICK FOR FIVE DAYS AND I DON'T HAVE DAYS SO WE DUCK WE WILL HAVE TO DUCK THE TEACHERS FIVE DAYS LIKE THEY DON'T GET PAID.

SO IN ESSENCE, THE DISTRICT WILL SAVE THOSE FIVE DAYS.

BUT WE ARE ALREADY BUDGETED IN THE BUDGET THAT OUR BOARD APPROVED.

IT'S ALREADY THERE. BUT REMEMBER, IF WE PAY SOMEONE, RIGHT, IF WE PAY ANY STAFF MEMBER, ANY TEACHER WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL, THEN IT WILL BE GIVE TO PUBLIC FUNDS.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED YOUR APPROVAL SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET IT DONE.

LIKE I SAID, I'M ALL FOR IT. I JUST KIND OF WONDERED IF THERE WAS AN ANALYSIS ON IF THIS WOULD COST AND HOW IT IMPACTED THE BUDGET.

I MEAN, I'M ALL FOR IT, SO I'M GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR. RAISE YOUR HAND.

I'LL OPPOSE C NONE.

MOTION CARRIES 7070 VOTE NOW.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM TWO APPROVAL OF CHAPTER 48 AGREEMENT.

THIS WAS A CONSENT ITEM THAT TRUSTEE WESTON ASKED TO PULL.

SO DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO START WITH? NO, I JUST. I WAS LAUGHING AT EDDIE BECAUSE HE'S MAD.

BECAUSE I TOOK.

I STOLE HIS THUNDER NOW.

BUT WE NEED YOU, EDDIE. DON'T LEAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT CHAPTER 48 OR WHEN WE TALK ABOUT.

NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION WAS.

SO WHEN I WAS READING THESE LAST WEEK, THERE WAS ONE LINE IN HERE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.

AND SO IF YOU COULD JUST PROVIDE CLARITY, THE LINE THAT SAYS SO THIS IS CALLED AN AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT.

AND THE LINE SAYS THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE VOTERS OF THE DISTRICT AS PROVIDED BY THE ELECTION CODE.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DISTRICT AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION ON REQUEST A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE BOARD MINUTES SHOWING THE CANVASS OF THE ELECTION.

SO WHEN I'VE GOT SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME THAT'S TALKING ABOUT VOTERS AND ELECTIONS, IF YOU COULD JUST HELP JUST KIND OF EXPLAIN NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT OBSERVERS WHO MAY BE WATCHING TONIGHT IN THE FUTURE WHAT THAT MEANS.

IN THE STATUTE.

49 156.

THE LAST LINE SAYS IF THE PROPOSITION IS APPROVED, AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY THE BOARD IS RATIFIED AND THE BOARD HAS CONTINUING AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS SUBCHAPTER ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT FOR FURTHER VOTER APPROVAL.

OUR APPROVAL FROM OUR VOTERS OCCURRED IN 2002.

AND SO EACH YEAR YOU ALL GET A CHOICE OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY RECAPTURE BECAUSE THESE ARE YOU HAD TWO CHOICES.

YOU CAN NET THE STATE OR YOU CAN PAY IT ALL IN A LUMP SUM AT THE END.

YOU ALL HAVE TO ELECT EACH YEAR HOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY YOUR RECAPTURE.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS DOES.

SO WHAT DID WE DO IN OH TWO? WHAT DID WE DECIDE? OR WHAT DID THE VOTERS THE VOTERS GAVE US APPROVAL TO DO SOMETHING IN 2002 AND NOW.

NOW WE BALLOT.

OKAY. WHAT? WHAT DID THEY GIVE US APPROVAL TO DO? THE BALLOT SHALL BE PRINTED TO PERMIT VOTING FOR OR AGAINST A PROPOSITION.

AND YOU HAD THE WORDING HAS TO BE EXACTLY AS IT IS IN THIS SECTION AUTHORIZING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ROUND ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PURCHASE ATTENDANCE CREDITS FOR FROM THE STATE WITH LOCAL TAX REVENUE.

SO THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2002.

THANK YOU. SO YOU JUST KEEP ROLLING UNTIL YOU ALL DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

SO IS THIS AN ANNUAL DOCUMENT THAT EVERY YEAR? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

ARE YOU SAYING IF I VOTE AGAINST IT, WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY RECAPTURE? NO, NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

YOU WOULD. THEY WOULD JUST TAKE THE MONEY DOING WISHFUL THINKING.

IT'S NOT EVEN LATE. AND I'M ALREADY WITH.

I MOVED AT THE BOARD, APPROVED FOR THE 2022, 2023 SCHOOL YEAR THAT WE DELEGATE CONTRACTUAL AUTHORITY TO OBLIGATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT UNDER TEXAS EDUCATION CODE SECTION 11.

1511C4 TO THE SUPERINTENDENT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBLIGATING THE DISTRICT UNDER TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, SECTION 48 TO 57 AND TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, CHAPTER 49, SUBCHAPTER A AND D.

AND THE RULES ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION AS AUTHORIZED UNDER TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 49.006.

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

[02:55:06]

I'M GLAD YOU READ THAT SECOND.

OH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

I AM NOT REPEATING THAT MOTION, BUT WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR OF. RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSE. SEE? NONE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE ARE NOW GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM H TO WAIVE FIRST READING AND ADOPTION OF POLICY DC LOCAL.

[H2. Waive First Reading and Adoption of Policy DEC (Local)]

AZAIEZ. EDDIE, I'M GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I'M JUST EXCITED TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND I THINK TRUSTEE WESTON EARLIER.

I KNOW. DR.

BUT YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE RETAIN WE NEED TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS AND THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD THAT.

SO I WANT TO LET EDDIE TALK ABOUT IT AND WHAT WE CAME UP WITH.

WELL, I MEAN, IT'S GREAT.

I JUST HAD I GO OVER THESE TWICE AND SO I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH IT TODAY AND IT WAS IN A DIFFERENT MINDSET BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD JUST BEEN ON FACEBOOK AND SAW ONE OF MY FRIENDS THAT IS A TEACHER, AND SHE ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW HAS SOME LEGAL WORDS LIVING WITH HER FOR A REALLY SAD REASON.

BUT I NOTICED IN CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS OR INJURY THAT THAT WORD IS ACTUALLY CHANGING.

AND YOU GUYS HAD STRUCK OR A MEMBER OF THE EMPLOYEE'S IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND CHANGED THAT TO EMPLOYEE, SPOUSE, CHILD OR PARENT.

AND MY CONCERN IS THAT LEAVES OFF IF YOU GO BACK TO THE DEFINITION OF IMMEDIATE FAMILY NOW, YOU'RE EXCLUDING THINGS LIKE STEPPARENTS, PARENT IN LAW, LEGAL WARDS. SO I WAS KIND OF WONDERING WHY AND I WAS KIND OF IN FAVOR FOR INCLUDING ALL THESE OTHER FOLKS.

I MEAN, I KNOW I WASN'T GRANDPARENT'S GRANDCHILD COULD PROBABLY BE LEFT OFF, BUT CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THE RATIONALE IS AND CAN WE.

CHANGE IT BACK IF WE WANT.

SURE. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE. AND GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

SO SO THIS IS WITH OUR OUR CATASTROPHIC SICK LEAVE BANK.

AND WHAT WE REALLY TRIED TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM WAS TO ALIGN IT WITH THE PROVISIONS IN THE AMLA, THE FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT.

AND SO THE AMLA DEFINES ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES, PARENTS AND DEPENDENTS AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

AND ALSO I MISSING A GROUP HERE, SORRY, THE SPOUSE.

SO WE TRIED TO ALIGN IT AND WITH THAT BECAUSE THE PROVISIONS OF YOUR SICK LEAVE BANK IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SIMILAR YEAR OF SERVICE AS YOU WOULD WITH THE AMLA. NOW TO BACK TO YOUR POINT AND YOUR QUESTION EARLIER TODAY TALKED ABOUT WARDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION.

WE WOULD TREAT IT THE SAME WAY THAT WE DO WITH AMLA, WHICH IS IN LOCAL.

MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT IN LOCO PARENTIS, MEANING THAT IF YOU IF YOU HAD IN LOCO PARENTIS RIGHTS OVER A CHILD OR IF YOU HAD A WARD, THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL WOULD QUALIFY IN THIS INSTANCE AS WELL. SO.

SO CAN WE JUST CHANGE THE WORDING BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH LIKE THE OTHER WORDING.

AND I KNOW WE'RE ALL HERE TODAY AND YOU UNDERSTAND IT, BUT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW I JUST WOULD FEEL REALLY SAD FOR SOMEBODY TO GET CUT IN THIS WHERE IT'S LIKE, THIS ISN'T YOUR CHILD BECAUSE THIS SPECIFICALLY SAYS CHILD, CAN WE CHANGE IT TO DEPENDENTS OR CAN WE CHANGE IT TO ALL THE LINGO UP AT THE TOP THAT SAYS SON OR DAUGHTER? BECAUSE I DO KNOW THIS STUFF.

I MEAN, THIS IS AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS OF SOMEBODY NEEDING TO USE THIS.

AND THE WORD'S NOT RIGHT.

AND THERE'S DEBATE.

I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEBODY TO GET STUCK IN THAT.

DR. BOWEN WE CAN WE CAN DEFINITELY DO IT.

AS I SAID, THIS IS SOMETHING WE CELEBRATE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE AS A DISTRICT, A SICK BANK FOR OUR STAFF.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS. WE DIDN'T HAVE IT FOR ACTUALLY THE LAST TIME WE HAD IT.

I THINK WE WERE CHECKING, WHAT, LIKE 15 TO 18 YEARS AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND ACTUALLY WE'RE BRINGING IT EVEN MORE ROBUST.

AND SO EDDIE AND HIS TEAM REALLY WORK HARD ON THIS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE BRINGING IT FORWARD TODAY AND HOPE THAT WE GET SOME TYPE OF APPROVAL TO TODAY BECAUSE AS YESTERDAY IT WAS OUR FIRST YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY FOR OUR TEACHERS BACK. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THEM.

WE DON'T WANT TO POSTPONE THIS ANY LONGER POSSIBLE.

YES, WE CAN. YES.

I MEAN, TONIGHT, CAN WE CHANGE IT TO DEPENDENT WITH THAT? DO YOU THINK THAT COVERS ALL THE OTHER CATEGORIES? WELL, I THINK IT JUST WE HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH THE OTHER CATEGORIES IN TERMS OF WHO THAT IS.

RIGHT, AND SO THERE'S INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN IMMEDIATE FAMILY, WHICH REALLY RELATES TO THINGS LIKE IF I HAVE TO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK BECAUSE I'M SICK.

THAT IMMEDIATE FAMILY DEFINITION WOULD COVER IT.

RIGHT. IF I NEED TO TAKE A LOCAL DAY.

THE CATASTROPHIC LEAVE IT WOULD ALLOW AN EMPLOYEE TO TAKE UP TO 60 DAYS.

RIGHT. IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DO EXHAUST THAT LEAVE.

SO IT DOES COME WITH A POTENTIAL FINANCIAL IMPACT TO THAT AS WELL.

RIGHT. IF WE DID OPEN THAT UP NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M AGAINST IT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF LEANED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE FML.

THE SPOUSE AND PARENT, I DON'T WORRY ABOUT SO MUCH.

IT'S MORE THAT CHILD LANGUAGE.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, AND IF YOU'RE TELLING ME CHILD IS DEFINED AS INCLUDING ALL THE STEPCHILD IN LAWS.

IT DOESN'T SAY, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY I MEAN, I GUESS IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR, I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT MAYBE WE JUST SAY AS DEFINED ABOVE.

YEAH, AND LIKE NUMBER TWO, YOU KNOW, AS DEFINED IN IMMEDIATE FAMILY NUMBER TWO, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS, MS.

[03:00:01]

I'M SURE THIS WAS REVIEWED REVIEWED BY LEGAL AND I HAVE CONCERNS MAKING CHANGES TO POLICY WITHOUT GETTING LEGAL.

WELL, I CAN SAY THIS MIGHT BE CLEARER BECAUSE IT SAYS PARENT AND THE CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS , BUT IF YOU GO UP TO NUMBER THREE IN IMMEDIATE FAMILY, IT ACTUALLY CALLS OUT PARENT, STEP PARENT AND MAN, I WOULD HATE SOMEBODY TO HAVE A STEPPARENT, AND THEN LIKE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, SOMEBODY IS READING THIS AND SAYS, WELL, NO, THIS SAYS PARENT AND PARENT IS DEFINED THIS WAY AND SORRY, WE DON'T COVER YOUR STEP PARENT.

SO TRUSTEE BONE AND DECA LEGAL, WHICH GOVERNS OUR FMLA, IT HAS A PARENTAL LOCUS.

I'M NOT SAYING IT RIGHT. I'M SORRY, BUT OUR LOCAL THE SAME LANGUAGE SO PARENTS, STEPPARENT, PARENT IN-LAW OR OTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO STANDS.

SO THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

I JUST WANT THAT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY DEFINITIONS.

BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS NEW.

THOSE IMMEDIATE FAMILY DEFINITIONS HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN WORKED OUT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO A GOOD THING HERE AND THAT WE GET IT DONE RIGHT.

OKAY. I'M SUGGESTING I'M SORRY.

I'M OVER HERE TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE CONVERSATION SIDEBAR WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING.

SO I APOLOGIZE. I PULLED DECA LEGAL AND I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THIS AHEAD OF TIME MYSELF.

SO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY OTHER INPUT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT, BUT UNDER DECA LEGAL, THAT IS, THE FMLA LAYS OUT ALL THE DEFINITIONS FOR THE FMLA LAW AND THEY HAVE LEGAL DEFINITIONS UNDER FMLA FOR PARENT, SON OR DAUGHTER, WHICH IS THE CHILD AND SPOUSE.

SO ONE THING YOU CAN DO, IS SAY, AS DEFINED UNDER FMLA, IF THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE UTILIZING A CDECA LEGAL AND THEN THAT WILL COVER ALL THOSE CATEGORIES OF RELATIONS. I THINK I WOULD PREFER THAT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CONSISTENT AND THAT IT DOES WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I WAS PUSHING THE BUTTON.

WE CAN JUST ADD THE FMLA AS DEFINED BY THE FMLA IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, AND THAT AND I MEAN EDDIE AND I, AND THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO.

IT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T MAYBE WEREN'T EXPLICIT ENOUGH.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT.

YEAH, I JUST AND THAT'S WHAT I WORRIED ABOUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT SOMEBODY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING.

IT WOULD BE VERY SAD.

I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT.

WE WAIVE FIRST READING AND ADOPTION OF POLICY DEC LOCAL WITH THE NOTATED CHANGES AS DISCUSSED.

SECOND.

OK A MOTION AN A SECOND.

TRUSTEE WESTON. I THINK THIS IS THIS IS BIG, DR.

AZAIEZ, ISN'T IT, THIS POLICY? AND I THINK IT'S GOOD TO I THINK IT'S GOOD TO HIGHLIGHT THIS.

WOULD THIS IMPACT, THAT SITUATION THAT HAD A LOT OF VISIBILITY HERE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL BEING ABLE TO WITH THE SICK BANK WITH THE I DON'T WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT, BUT IT WAS A HIGH VISIBILITY SITUATION.

SO THIS IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT.

IT'S A BIG DAY, AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. SEEING NONE.

MOTION CARRIES 7 0.

ALL RIGHT, WONDERFUL.

WE HAVE MADE SOME GOOD CHANGES.

WE ARE ON TO AGENDA ITEM J 1 BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS.

[J. BOARD BUSINESS]

WELL, I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE.

I THINK I SENT AN EMAIL LAST NIGHT AND JUST AGAIN, YESTERDAY WAS A FIRST DAY, AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOU.

I KNOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY CONDUCTED SOME SCHOOL VISITS AND WITNESSED FIRSTHAND, I GUESS, THE EXCITEMENT.

RIGHT. BECAUSE I KNOW I WAS WITH PRESIDENT FELLER WHEN WE DID VISIT SOME CAMPUSES, AND I CAN SEE THAT OUR TEACHERS WERE SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THEIR STUDENTS BACK AND OUR STUDENTS WERE SUPER, SUPER EXCITED TO COME BACK AND SEE OUR TEACHERS AND AND THEIR CLASSMATES.

I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE AN AMAZING SCHOOL YEAR.

I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

ALSO, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT OUR ACCOUNTABILITY RATING WHEN IT COMES TO ACADEMICS, BUT ALSO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AGAIN THAT WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCIAL FIRST RATING, ALSO, I WANT TO THANK OBVIOUSLY OUR CFO, DENNIS AND HIS TEAM BECAUSE WE WERE BACK WE ALMOST PERFECT SCORE 98 OUT OF 100, WHICH IS A SUPERIOR RATING.

AND SO I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR REALLY DOING MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE, DONE RIGHT AND SUBMITTED ON TIME AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHARED THIS GREAT NEWS WITH YOU, BUT WE JUST GOT OUR LAST WEEK, I THINK RIGHT DENNIS THEN WE GET OUR TRIPLE A RATING AGAIN FROM MOODY'S, AND REMEMBER, WE ARE THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS WHO HAVE THAT KIND OF RATING.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING TO CELEBRATE.

WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP IT.

[APPLAUSE] AGAIN, THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAPPENING, AND I THINK I CAME ACROSS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK PUBLISHED SOMETHING ABOUT.

WE ARE ALSO THE CITY NUMBER 25, I THINK, IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN AMERICA, IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, THAT IS AWESOME.

[03:05:01]

RIGHT? SO THAT'S GREAT. SO AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK OUR TRUSTEES, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS, EVERYONE REALLY OUR LEADERS WHO REALLY WORK HARD AND SUPPORT STAFF WHO REALLY WORKING REALLY HARD.

AS I SAID YESTERDAY, WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING VACANCIES, INCLUDING OUR BUS DRIVERS, BUT I THINK I KNOW IT WAS SOME DELAYS HERE AND THERE, BUT OVERALL, IT REALLY WENT SMOOTH AND IT'S GREAT AGAIN, START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO THANK YOU, EVERYONE.

DO I HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM TRUSTEES? TRUSTEE WESTON? WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY SO TWO NIGHTS AGO, ON TUESDAY, WE HAD A BOARD MEETING AND WE HAD BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I ENCOURAGED FOLKS TO PRAY FOR RAIN.

[LAUGHTER] AND SO 48 HOURS LATER, HE HAS DELIVERED.

SO I THOUGHT ON MY DRIVE OVER HERE, WELL, WHAT AM I GOING ASK FOR TONIGHT? [LAUGHTER] SO I THINK WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK FOR IS JUST TO HAVE THE PRAYERS FOR A SAFE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY SCHOOL YEAR FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR STAFF AND OUR FAMILIES.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM TRUSTEES? AND REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY REQUESTS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING TWO DAYS AGO, AND SO ON TO J3 CALENDAR RSVPS. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY CANCELED THE MEETING ON AUGUST THE 25TH, SO THAT IS OFF CALENDARS FOR EVERYBODY.

I DID SEE A CHANGE IN THE RESERVATION IN THE RESPONSE FROM TRUSTEE WESTON ON AUGUST 30TH.

STILL DON'T HAVE RESPONSES FROM YOU ON THE 8TH, THE 15TH, THE 20TH AND THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, AND I LITERALLY JUST CHECKED WHILE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT BACK TO SCHOOL AND TRUSTEE BONE I SHOW YOU AS A MAYBE FOR AUGUST 30TH, 8TH SEPTEMBER EXCUSE ME, SEPTEMBER 8TH, 15TH, 20TH, AND THEN 29TH.

SO IF YOU GUYS COULD RESPOND, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I HAVE NO OTHER.

AS A MAYBE ALSO. I HAVE YOU AS A MAYBE AS ALL OF THOSE.

YEAH, AND I HAVE YOU AND MAYBE AS ON AUGUST 30TH.

SO HAVE YOU NOT RESPONDED? NO THAT'S THE ONE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE I HAVE A COMMITMENT THAT NIGHT I SAID IT WAS THE 25TH AT THE MEETING ON THE 16TH, AND SO I'M IF I CAN GET ENOUGH PEOPLE, THEN I WON'T BE AT THE MEETING ON AUGUST 30TH AND THEN ALSO ON SEPTEMBER 20TH.

IT'S MY SON'S 21ST BIRTHDAY.

SO IF I HAVE A FULL QUORUM ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, FAMILY COMES FIRST AND I'D LIKE TO SPEND IT WITH MY CHILD WHO HAPPENS TO BE DOWN THE ROAD AT THAT ORANGE SCHOOL.

GIG 'EM. [LAUGHTER] I DON'T HAVE ANY CONFLICTS RIGHT NOW FOR THOSE DATES.

OKAY THANKS, BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT IN FLUX WITH ONE CHILD GETTING PROMOTED IN THE MILITARY.

I TOTALLY GET IT. JUST A REMINDER THAT AS YOU AS YOUR SCHEDULE FIRMS UP, IF YOU GUYS CAN CONFIRM THOSE ON THE CALENDAR, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.

ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO CLOSED SESSION.

[K. CLOSED SESSION]

THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER AND DISCUSS THE QUARTERLY INTERNAL AUDIT REPORT AND LIGHTHOUSE COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS AGAINST TRUSTEES AND THE SUPERINTENDENT.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 551.074, THE BOARD WILL MEET TO DISCUSS THE SUMMIT OF EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.074 AND AS REQUESTED BY TRUSTEE WEIR, THE BOARD WILL CONSULT WITH ITS ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS THE DUTIES, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PUBLIC OFFICER AND EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF SECOND AND OR THIRD STEP OF TRUSTEE SANCTION PROCESS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE CENSURE OF TRUSTEE BONE.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.074 AND AS REQUESTED BY TRUSTEE WEIR, THE BOARD WILL CONSULT WITH ITS ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS THE DUTIES, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PUBLIC OFFICER AND EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF THE THIRD STEP OF THE TRUSTEE SANCTION PROCESS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE CENSURE OF TRUSTEE WESTON.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.074 THE BOARD WILL CONSULT WITH ITS ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS THE DUTIES, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PUBLIC OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE.

POINT OF ORDER. YEAH, GO AHEAD.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT? I'M JUST REQUESTING TO HAVE K4 THAT MENTIONS ME DONE IN OPEN SESSION.

OKAY, AND I WOULD HAVE K3 DONE IN OPEN SESSION.

OKAY. THEN WE WILL COMBINE THAT WITH ITEMS M1 AND M2.

I WENT BACK AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND IT IN THE MINUTES.

THAT'S WHY I VOTED NO AND I CANNOT FIND WHERE K1 OR K2 WHERE THE BOARD TOOK ACTION ON EITHER ONE OF THOSE.

WELL, THEY WOULDN'T BE IN THE MINUTES BECAUSE THEY HAPPENED IN CLOSED SESSION, BUT YOU DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL WHEN YOU WERE ABSENT FROM A MEETING WHEN K1 HAPPENED AND YOU PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETING ON THIS PAST TUESDAY WHEN K2 HAPPENED, AND WHEN K2 HAPPENED, THE BOARD TOOK ACTION? THE BOARD ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THAT WAS A K2 ON YOU.

HOW DID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT? WAS IT A BOARD MAJORITY? WE DISCUSSED THAT IN CLOSED SESSION, I THINK.

[03:10:03]

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I MEAN, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS THESE DETAILS IN CLOSED.

YEAH WE CAN'T DISCUSS CLOSED SESSION. NO I WANT IT IN OPEN.

IT'S ABOUT ME. SO WE'RE NOT HAVING TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE.

I BELIEVE THAT. I MEAN, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING ANY SPECIFIC LEGAL ADVICE HERE IN OPEN, BUT NOBODY KNOWS HOW IT HAPPENED? NO, I KNOW. YOU WERE THERE.

I KNOW, AND THE BOARD KNOWS.

YEAH. WHAT I SAW WAS A STRAW POLL IN CLOSED SESSION, WHICH IS.

THAT'S WHAT I SAW. SO K2 DID NOT.

I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IN PUBLIC WHAT WAS DONE IN CLOSED SESSION HERE.

SO I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN CLOSED.

WELL, I SAW A STRAW POLL.

ALL RIGHT. IT IS 8:47.

WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A RECESS BEFORE WE CONVENE INTO CLOSED AT 9:00.

IT IS 11:57.

[L. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS]

DO I HAVE ANY MOTIONS COMING OUT OF CLOSED? SEEING NONE.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM M1 APPROVAL OF SECOND AND OR THIRD STEP OF TRUSTEE'S SANCTION PROCESS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE CENSURE OF TRUSTEE BONE.

[M. ACTION ITEMS]

YES, I DO HAVE A THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.

I WAS WONDERING, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME AND THE INTEREST OF DECORUM, IF WE MIGHT CONSIDER TREATING THIS LIKE A GRIEVANCE WHERE THE PERSON RAISING THE CENSURE HAS 10 MINUTES TO SPEAK OR HOWEVER LONG WE DESIGNATE, AND THEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE POSSIBLY POTENTIALLY ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE CENSURE HAVE 10 MINUTES TO REBUT, AND THEN WE MAKE OUR DECISION, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT NEEDS A MOTION.

IT WOULD NEED A MOTION IF YOU WANT TO INSTITUTE TIME LIMITS.

I MOVE WOULD YOU DO BOTH OF THESE AT THE SAME TIME? ARE THEY THE SAME THING? YES, I COULD DO BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

SINCE THERE ARE TWO, I MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, BUT I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T NEED 20.

OKAY, I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.

I WOULD DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND NOT I MEAN.

I COULD DO THEM BOTH SEPARATELY IF THEY'D LIKE.

I THINK THAT EACH OF THE RESPONDENTS, THOUGH, SHOULD PROBABLY SHOULD I THINK THAT THAT'S FAIR.

I MOVE THAT THE TRUSTEE RAISING THE CENSURE HAVE 15 MINUTES AND THAT THE TRUSTEES ON THE RECEIVING END OF POTENTIAL CENSURE HAVE 10 MINUTES TO REBUT.

DID I SAY 10 MINUTES, 15 AND 10? I SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? I HAVE A COMMENT. OKAY. GO AHEAD.

WELL, I THINK THIS SETS THE TONE WHERE TRUSTEE HARRISON LOOKS OVER AT TRUSTEE WEIR WITHOUT ANY CONCERN FOR HOW MUCH TIME MIGHT YOU NEED MARY.

HOW MUCH TIME MIGHT YOU NEED DANIELLE? THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JUST POLITICAL THEATER.

THE DECISION'S ALREADY BEEN MADE, AND SO THEY WANT TO LIMIT THE TIME, AND USUALLY THE PERSONS, YOU KNOW, THE VICTIMS OR THE PEOPLE UNDER PERSECUTION WOULD BE ASKED, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO MAYBE SHOW YOUR INNOCENCE OR WHATEVER? BUT THERE'S NO CONCERN HERE, AND I WOULD JUST SAY IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE LEAVING, BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME WAY WE TEACH OUR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS. WE TREAT THEM THE SAME WAY.

ALL WE CARE ABOUT IS OURSELVES AND THE PEOPLE THAT RELATE TO US OR ARE ON OUR SIDE.

THIS IS JUST INDICATIVE OF OUR WHOLE DISTRICT.

THIS IS HOW WE TREAT PEOPLE.

I'M GOING TO COME ASK YOU HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED, BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF YOU.

I'LL JUST GIVE YOU WHAT I THINK YOU DESERVE, AND I THINK THIS JUST SET THE TONE.

SO THAT'S PRETTY INTERESTING.

I WILL ASK YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE 15 MINUTES? WOULD YOU LIKE 20 MINUTES? I MEAN, I DO AGREE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SOME TIME LIMIT AND NOT BE HERE TILL 4 A.M.

, BUT I MEAN, NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK SO.

WHEN I'M WORKING OUT PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE, I DON'T SET TIME LIMITS.

SO BUT THAT'S NOT THE GOAL HERE.

RIGHT? THE GOAL HERE IS FOR PEOPLE TO GET THIS ON VIDEO OR WHATEVER THEY'RE GOING TO DO, AND IT'S JUST SO I WOULDN'T SET TIME LIMITS. I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.

I MEAN, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING.

THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE.

THIS IS WE COULD HAVE DONE THIS IN CLOSED, BUT WE CHOOSE TO DO THIS IN OPEN BECAUSE FOR ONE THING, WE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT IN CLOSED.

THIS HAS TO BE IN OPEN.

OH, THE CENSURES HAVE TO BE IN OPEN.

SO. ALL RIGHT. SO THEY HAVE TO BE IN OPEN.

WELL, LET ME JUST CLARIFY THAT THE DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS UP FOR BEING CONSIDERED FOR CENSURE BY THIS BOARD COULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION UNDER 074 551.074.

A COMPLAINT AGAINST A PUBLIC OFFICER, WHICH IS A BOARD MEMBER.

HOWEVER, IN THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE, TRUSTEE BONE AND TRUSTEE WESTON HAVE ASKED THAT THEIR MATTERS BE HELD IN OPEN, WHICH IS ALLOWED UNDER 551.074 THE PERSONS WHO ARE

[03:15:06]

THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS PART IN OPEN.

JUST CLARIFYING THAT.

THE ACTION, ANY ACTION ON RESOLUTION CENSURE WOULD BE DONE IN OPEN.

LOOK, THE WHOLE POINT IS, IS THAT AND IT'S ONE THING I REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT TRUSTEE JOHNSON IS THAT BECAUSE I'M A PROBLEM SOLVER, BUT WE'VE NEVER WORKED AS A BOARD TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, AND IT JUST SHOWS BECAUSE YOU DON'T SET TIME LIMITS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM OR TRY TO GET THE ROOT OF A PROBLEM AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

BUT HERE WE WANT TO SET TIME LIMITS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TRYING TO FIX PROBLEMS. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP OUR POLITICAL STUFF GOING AND JUST CENSURE PEOPLE.

I MEAN, SO I WOULD NOT DO TIME LIMITS.

I WOULD I MEAN, IF IT ENDS UP TAKING US 5 MINUTES EACH, THAT'S GREAT.

IF IT TAKES US 4 HOURS, WELL, SO BE IT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE PUT THESE KIND OF THINGS ON THE AGENDA, WHAT ARE WE DOING? I MEAN, ARE WE TRYING TO WORK THIS OUT OR ARE WE JUST TRYING TO PUSH THROUGH THIS JUST TO GET THE VOTE REAL QUICK AND AND MOVE FORWARD? I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE GOAL.

OKAY. I THINK WE ARE CLEAR ON WHERE YOU STAND.

TRUSTEE WESTON. SO IT'S BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I REALLY WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING AND THAT THE AUDIO IS WORKING. ARE WE 100% SURE THAT WE'VE GOT AUDIO VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE THINGS ARE WORKING.

YES, IT'S RUNNING. OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT DUE PROCESS, I BELIEVE, HAS NOT BEEN EXERCISED , AND I GUESS IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO RUN OVER DUE PROCESS.

WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE MOTION ON THE TABLE OF LIMITING TIME.

RIGHT. SO AS LONG AS YOUR COMMENTS ARE RELATED TO THAT, SO THAT MOTION REALLY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NOT FELT RESPECTED BY ROUND ROCK ISD.

AND I CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, NOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE THE PROCESS HERE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY REDUCES PEOPLE DOWN TO JUST OBSTACLES, AND SO I HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION FOR SOME OF THE FEEDBACK I GET FROM SOME OF OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHO TELL ME THAT THEY'RE NOT TREATED WELL, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS.

I'M HAPPY TO STAND HERE AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING, EVEN IF IT IS THIS PROCESS THAT I BELIEVE DENIES DUE PROCESS AND OR IS AT LEAST DISRESPECTFUL TO DUE PROCESS, BECAUSE I'M UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THAT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IN OUR SCHOOLS WHO WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHO GO TO OUR SCHOOLS, WHO CAN'T WITHSTAND THIS, AND MY MESSAGE TO YOU IS, WHEN YOU ARE SIMILARLY TREATED THIS WAY BY BULLIES, YOU SHOULD STAND STRONG ALWAYS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MOTION FOR TIME.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO TALK, AND MAKE COMMENTS.

OKAY. TRUSTEE HARRISON YOUR LIGHT IS ON.

THANK YOU. I DID MAKE A MOTION.

THERE WAS A SECOND.

IF YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S MORE TIME THAT'S NEEDED.

NO, NO OTHER LIGHTS ARE ON.

OKAY, WELL, THEN LET'S GO.

OKAY. SO THE MOTION AN A SECOND TO LIMIT TO 15 MINUTES FOR EACH PERSON THAT'S INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

IT WAS 10 FOR THE RESPONDENTS, 15 FOR THE PERSON RAISING THE CENSURE.

10 MINUTES EACH IS THAT.

YES, I WILL DO TEN.

I WILL DO THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

I JUST WANT MY ASK WOULD JUST BE THAT I GET TO PRESENT WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED.

OKAY. WITH THAT IN MIND, I WITHDRAW THAT MOTION AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A NEW MOTION.

GO AHEAD. I MOTION THAT EACH PERSON INVOLVED IN THE CENSURE PROCESS HAS 10 MINUTES TO STATE THEIR CASE WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED.

THAT'S THE MOTION. OKAY I WILL SECOND IT.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

I HAVE A CLARIFICATION. CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YES, MA'AM. SO IS THIS JUST SAYING THEN THAT ONLY DANIELLE AND I AND WHOEVER THE OTHER TRUSTEES AREN'T GOING TO WEIGH IN, SO THERE'S NOT.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU DO IF THIS MOTION PASSES, THEN IT'S JUST THE WAY YOU STATED IT IT'S JUST US AND WHOEVER IS INVOLVED.

THAT'S HONESTLY FINE WITH ME UNLESS WE MOVE FOR A VOTE AND THEN PEOPLE HAVE SPACE FOR COMMENT.

THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS AFTER.

SHE SAID STRUCTURE IT LIKE A GRIEVANCE WHERE THE PERSON WHO'S PRESENTING THE ISSUE.

THEN THERE'S A RESPONDENT AND THEN THE BOARD HAS A CHANCE TO ASK, TO DELIBERATE AND DISCUSS.

YEAH. SO.

OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HANDS.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION PASSES 5 2.

TRUSTEE HARRISON WILL YOU KEEP TIME? PLEASE LET HER KNOW WHEN YOU'VE STARTED.

[03:20:02]

I DID BRING THE CENSURE RESOLUTION.

I DID ASK THAT IT BE PUT ON THE AGENDA.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY FROM THE GET GO, THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE A MINORITY ON THIS BOARD.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT EMAILS.

IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED PRIOR TO JUNE 16TH.

THIS IS STRICTLY ABOUT BAD BEHAVIOR, INAPPROPRIATE AND UNPROFESSIONAL, BAD BEHAVIOR THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THIS BOARD AS A BODY CORPORATE.

THIS IS THE ONLY FORUM AND THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS BODY CORPORATE SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS BAD BEHAVIOR OF A MEMBER. ALL THE FACTS ARE IN THE DOCUMENTS.

THEY ARE VERY CLEAR.

I ACTUALLY WROTE THESE WITHIN DAYS OF THE MEETING SO THAT IT WOULD BE FRESH IN MY MIND AND I WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

I DON'T I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM.

I HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY HAS READ THEM.

I'M ASSUMING MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ALL READ THEM.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON JUNE 16TH, HAVING TRUSTEES TRY TO BREAK QUORUM IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE BUDGET FROM BEING PASSED. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES.

I ACTUALLY DON'T EVEN EXPECT IN THEIR TIME IN A MINUTE TO THAT, THEY CAN EVEN COME UP WITH A REASON OF WHY THEY LEFT THAT IS ACTUALLY A REAL REASON. WHAT I EXPECT IS WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON THIS BOARD, UNFORTUNATELY, IS THAT THERE WILL BE DEFLECTION, THERE WILL BE DENIALS, THERE WILL THEN BE ATTACKS AND ACCUSATIONS AGAINST OTHER BOARD MEMBERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE FACT THAT THEY LEFT NOT THEIR OWN FAULT, SO THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS, SO THAT THEY ARE SOMEHOW THE VICTIM OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS.

THAT'S WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES.

I EXPECT THAT WE WILL HEAR THAT TRUSTEE XIAO SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE EVEN THOUGH HE'D RESIGNED AND MADE CLEAR THAT HE WAS NOT COMING.

I EXPECT TO HEAR THAT TRUSTEE FELLER HAD SET UP A SEPARATE THING AND DONE ALL OF THESE NEFARIOUS THINGS. I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY IT'S AN ISSUE THAT SHE TRIED TO BE PROACTIVE AND SET UP A PLACE FOR ME TO HAVE TO COME. I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR LOTS OF ATTACKS ABOUT ME THAT I CAME WITH COVID.

I WILL BET THERE IS 100% AGREEMENT.

EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL IN THIS DISTRICT THAT AGREES I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE, INCLUDING MYSELF.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE.

THAT IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, AT LEAST THE ONE THING WE CAN PROBABLY ALL AGREE ON THIS.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE.

WAS I HERE AT 5:15 ISH? YES, I WAS, BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES, TRUSTEES BONE AND WESTON HAD REQUIRED US TO HAVE A MEETING TWO DAYS PRIOR ON THE 14TH SO THAT THEY COULD SANCTION US.

WE ALL SHOWED UP TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONCERNS, AND THEN THEY DID NOT SHOW.

THEY REFUSED TO RSVP FOR THE MEETING ON THE 16TH.

OUR TEA MONITOR EVEN HAD TO CALL THEM BECAUSE IT'S A STATUTORILY REQUIRED MEETING.

THEY WOULD NOT EVEN RESPOND TO OUR TEA MONITOR.

NOBODY KNEW IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO COME.

NOW I KNOW WHAT THE EXCUSES ARE.

OH, WE COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER MEETING.

WE COULD HAVE PLANNED SOMETHING.

TRUSTEE FELLER SHOULD HAVE ASKED PEOPLE TO COME IN ON THEIR VACATION, AND WHY.

I MEAN, AFTER I OH SO, AFTER I'M NOT COVID, JUST SO THEY COULD STILL MISS AGAIN AND I COULD HAVE TO COME IN, AND THE FOUR OF US WHO ACTUALLY SHOWED UP WOULD SHOW UP AGAIN, BUT WE WOULD FORCE EMPLOYEES TO COME IN ON THEIR VACATION.

I'M NOT SURE WHY THOSE OF US THAT WERE WILLING TO DO OUR JOB AND SHOW UP FOR THIS MEETING HAVE TO ALWAYS ALSO BE THE ONES TO COVER UP AND MAKE DO AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

WHEN ALL THAT HAD TO HAPPEN WAS FOR TWO PEOPLE TO STAY IN THEIR SEATS AND DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, BUT THEY DIDN'T, AND LET'S ALSO.

WE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO COME IN.

WE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD SEATS.

WE DID NOT EVEN SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE CONSIDERED HAVING A SEPARATE MEETING.

MY COLLEAGUES ARE INCREDIBLY GOOD AT POINT OF ORDER.

I THINK ALL OF US HAVE WITNESSED THAT.

THEIR POINT OF ORDER OVER THE NUMBER OF CHAIRS OUT THERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHY WE COULDN'T HAVE HAD A POINT OF ORDER AND ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE CHAIR THAT WAS BACK HERE, BUT NO, THERE WAS NO QUESTION ABOUT WHY THERE WAS A CHAIR.

THERE WAS NOTHING.

I WAS VISIBLE ON THE SCREEN.

THERE WAS TWO SEPARATE LOGINS.

I WAS NOT, AND BOTH OF THEM KNOW WHERE I LIVE.

[03:25:04]

15 MINUTES ON A REALLY GOOD DAY.

IF I SOMEHOW MANAGED EVERY LIGHT ON PARMER AND 620, THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO GET HERE IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES.

HAD IT SEEMED LIKE I MAYBE HAD LEFT THE SCREEN AND WAS GOING TO SOMEHOW, FOR WHATEVER BIZARRE REASON, SHOW UP HERE.

SOMEONE COULD HAVE SAID POINT OF ORDER AND SOMEONE COULD HAVE ASKED A QUESTION.

THAT ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DID NOT HAPPEN, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, MY COLLEAGUES LIKE TO GO OUT AND PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TALK ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS AND TRY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE I'M AT FAULT.

TRUSTEE FELLER'S AT FAULT, BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REMIND MY FELLOW TRUSTEES AND OUR NEW TRUSTEE THAT THE LAST TIME THEY DID SUE THE OTHER FIVE OF US AND WE WERE IN COURT.

TRUSTEE WESTON TESTIFIED THAT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S NOT UNDER OATH WHEN SHE WRITES HER NEWSLETTER, SO SHE CAN'T ACTUALLY VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF IT.

SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE ACCURACY OF THE NEWSLETTER IS NOT WHAT'S THE TRUTH? THE TRUTH IS ACTUALLY WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THESE DOCUMENTS, AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REMIND THEM THAT NEITHER TRUSTEE BONE OR WESTON ARE UNDER OATH RIGHT NOW EITHER.

YOU KNOW, THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS SAID THE ONLY WAY FOR A BOARD TO TELL THEIR MEMBERS THAT WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THEIR BEHAVIOR IS THROUGH THE CENSURE PROCESS.

THAT IS IT. THAT IS THE ONLY MECHANISM THAT WE HAVE AS A BODY CORPORATE TO SAY YOUR BEHAVIOR WAS INAPPROPRIATE, AND LET'S NOT FORGET, IT'S A SECOND STATUTORILY REQUIRED MEETING THAT THESE TWO HAVE WALKED OUT ON.

THEY WALKED OUT WHEN WE HAD TO SET THE TAX RATE.

ALSO AND THEN AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT, AND THAT WAS ALSO MY FAULT.

THEY WANT TO DENY US EVEN THE ABILITY TO SAY THEY'VE DONE THINGS WRONG, AS WE SAW ON TUESDAY.

SO IT IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET OUR JOB DONE IF WE DON'T HAVE EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BOARD PULLING THEIR WEIGHT AND WALKING OUT OF A MEETING WHERE THE BUDGET IS GOING TO BE APPROVED IS NOT HELPING THIS BOARD.

IT IS NOT HELPING THIS DISTRICT.

IT IS NOT HELPING OUR EMPLOYEES AND IT IS NOT HELPING OUR STUDENTS.

WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR YOUR BAD BEHAVIOR IN ORDER TO PAY OUR EMPLOYEES, PERIOD.

PERIOD. YOU KNEW WHAT DATE THE MEETING WAS.

NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAD CALLED YOU, ASKED YOU IF YOU WERE GOING TO BE HERE.

YOU ACTUALLY SHOWED UP.

WE WERE THRILLED, BUT THEN YOU JUST DECIDED TO LEAVE AFTER YOU GOT YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH STUDENT RECOGNITIONS, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE? I WOULD LOVE THAT IN YOUR TIME, IF YOU WILL TELL US THE REASON, AND PLEASE DON'T SAY COVID BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE REASON.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE REASON THAT YOU LEFT, AND.

YOU KNOW. IT IS INCREDIBLY SAD THAT I'M HERE AND HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT IT WAS ALSO SO INCREDIBLY UNBECOMING OF AN ELECTED OFFICIAL SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THIS DISTRICT AND THIS COMMUNITY AND THESE VOTERS AND OUR STUDENTS.

FOR YOU NOT TO EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO STAY AND VOTE ON THE BUDGET AND ENSURE THAT OUR STAFF GOT PAID , AND I HOPE WHEN WE GET TO THE END, MY FELLOW TRUSTEES, THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT WE AS A GROUP CAN TELL THEM WE DO NOT APPRECIATE AND WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR IS FOR US TO PASS THESE CENSURE RESOLUTIONS THIS EVENING, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, AND WE CAN MOVE ON AND WE CAN START DOING OUR JOB AND DOING WHAT THE VOTERS HAVE ELECTED US TO DO.

THANK YOU I'M DONE. TRUSTEE WESTON OR TRUSTEE BONE.

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T ASK YOU THIS, BUT IF EITHER ONE OF YOU WOULD LIKE A WARNING, LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU CAN SEE THE CLOCK.

SURE. SO FIRST I'LL ADDRESS SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT FIRST, I'LL SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE BIASED AGAINST ME. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I SAY.

AFTER THAT MEETING, I WROTE MY REAL REASONS, AND YOU'RE ASSERTING THINGS AS FACT.

LIKE YOU SAID, PLEASE DON'T SAY COVID.

IT IS NOT THE REASON YOU LEFT.

IT'S NOT COVID.

SO. I MEAN, I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND.

YOU'RE ALREADY BIASED.

THIS IS THE STUFF WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME ON THE DAIS THAT WE DON'T WANT IN OUR DISTRICT.

[03:30:01]

WE DO NOT COME HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND.

WE DO NOT LOOK AT THINGS FROM A SYSTEMATIC VIEWPOINT.

YOU GUYS KNOW THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE AND THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME.

WHY I'VE BEEN A TRUSTEE.

THEY DON'T KNOW.

THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T KNOW, AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, BUT YOU GUYS HAVE MADE US THE BAD GUYS, SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE BAD NO MATTER WHAT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE MY REASONS FOR LEAVING, AND THE OTHER THING YOU GUYS DO IS IT'S ALWAYS BONE AND WESTON.

IT WAS REALLY COOL TO GET THE INVESTIGATION STUFF BECAUSE BONE AND WESTON WERE IN THE INVESTIGATION, WHICH BONE WAS LIKE, WHAT? I'M NOT WESTON. WESTON'S NOT BONE.

SHE'S GOING TO HAVE HER REASONS THAT SHE LEFT.

I HAD MINE AND AMY, IT WAS COVID, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT UP HERE.

BECAUSE IT'S FERPA, AND YOU KNOW WHY? AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE HARD DECISIONS FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT I WOULDN'T MAKE FOR MYSELF.

SO JUST BECAUSE SOMETIMES MY VOTE UP HERE REFLECTS WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO FOR MY FAMILY OR THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO.

THE STUDENTS OF ROUND ROCK MIGHT NEED SOMETHING THAT MY FAMILY DOESN'T NEED OR VICE VERSA.

SO I'LL ADDRESS THIS.

FIRST, I'LL ADDRESS IT A LITTLE BIT THAT THERE'S NOT FACTS IN THE DOCUMENTS.

THE OTHER THING IS THAT YOU ACTUALLY JUST STATED, I'M REALLY GOOD AT MATH.

YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE HERE AT 5:15 BECAUSE I SAW YOU AND I SAW YOU INTERFACING WITH AN ADMIN.

ADMIN, AND I WAS LIKE, I HAD HEARD RUMORS.

SEE I DON'T ALSO TALK TO TRUSTEE WESTON ALL THE TIME, WHICH YOU GUYS THINK WE MUST, LIKE, LIVE TOGETHER.

I'VE ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE SHOULD JUST, LIKE, SIT AT THE SAME CHAIR BECAUSE YOU GUYS THINK WE'RE THE SAME.

I HAD HEARD RUMORS I HAD.

DANIELLE HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING LIKE, HEY, I DON'T KNOW.

AMY MIGHT HAVE COVID AND SHE MIGHT BE HERE OR SHE MIGHT NOT.

I DON'T KNOW, AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHATEVER, BUT I GOT HERE AND YOU'RE HERE AT 5:15, BUT THEN YOU'RE THERE AND IT'S EVEN IN THE MINUTES YOU'RE BACK AT YOUR HOUSE AT 5:30.

YOU IN YOUR STATEMENT THAT YOU JUST MADE SAID THAT YOUR HOUSE IS 20 MINUTES AWAY, AND I KNOW THAT.

AND YOU SAID ON A GOOD DAY, IT'S 15.

WELL, I COMMUTE A LOT AND I WORK ON MY COMPUTER A LOT.

IF YOUR HOUSE IS AT A GOOD TIME, 15 MINUTES AWAY, YOU STILL HAVE TO WALK IN YOUR HOUSE.

YOU STILL HAVE TO, LIKE, GET SEATED.

SO IN MY MIND, I MEAN, AND THIS IS ALL I CAN DO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

ALL I CAN DO IS BE LIKE, I DON'T THINK AMY'S AT HER HOUSE.

I THINK AMY'S LOCAL, BUT I DIDN'T BEFORE THAT WHEN I GOT TO THE MEETING, I ACTUALLY ASKED THE ADMIN WHO ABSOLUTELY KNOWS IF WE'RE ALL COMING OR NOT.

I SAID, IS AMY COMING? AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SHE HAD JUST INTERFACED WITH YOU, AND SHE USUALLY WEARS A MASK BECAUSE SHE IS I MEAN, APPARENTLY MAYBE CONCERNED WITH COVID AND HER EYES AND HER FACIAL EXPRESSION WAS FEAR, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOSH, THERE'S THIS LITTLE THING UP HERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BRING AMY IN.

BECAUSE THEY DON'T TRUST US, AND WHEN THE BUDGET COMES UP, THEY'RE GOING TO BRING AMY IN.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT I DID? I WENT OVER AND ASKED, AMBER.

AMBER IS AMY COMING? AND YOU KNOW WHAT? TRUSTEE WESTON WAS IN HER SEAT, AND DR.

AZAIEZ WAS NOT THERE, SO DANIELLE ACTUALLY HEARD HER.

AMBER WOULD NOT ANSWER ME.

AMBER WAS LIKE, OH, SHE MIGHT.

SHE MAY. YEAH SEE AND THE THING IS, AMBER, I MEAN, AND AMY KNOWS THIS, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE AMY KNOWS AMBER LIES.

I MEAN, THAT'S JUST KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYWHERE, AND AMY, SHE REALLY DID SAY THAT DANIELLE HEARD HER, SHE WOULD NOT ANSWER ME.

YOU CAN SEE ME IF YOU GO TO THE VERY START OF THE VIDEO.

I'M STANDING RIGHT OVER BY HER BECAUSE I'M LIKE, AMBER, I NEED TO KNOW, AND SHE GOES, IT'S 5:30.

THE MEETING IS STARTING, AND I WAS LIKE, AND SO YOU COULD ASK WHY I DIDN'T DO A POINT OF ORDER, AND I'M SORRY.

PEOPLE WANT TO THINK THAT I'M A REALLY HORRIBLE PERSON.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW YOU HAD COVID OR NOT.

THERE'S A MILLION REASONS THAT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ON VIRTUAL, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO BE POINT OF ORDER.

IS THE COVID POSITIVE PERSON COMING IN? I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DO CARE ABOUT YOU ALL AND I DO CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS, AND I KNOW COVID ESPECIALLY KIND OF OVER IN YOUR AREA IS LIKE CRAZY.

SO THEN I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, SOMETIMES, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, YOUR KIDS FRIENDS MIGHT LIKE NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN OR SOMETHING.

SO I WASN'T GOING TO ASK IN PUBLIC.

SO WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST MEETING, WE WENT THROUGH IT AND I'M LIKE, YEAH, PROBABLY NOT.

YOU PROBABLY WEREN'T GONNA COME FOR THAT BECAUSE YOU WERE ON VIRTUAL.

AND THEN BETWEEN THE NEXT ONE, I SAID, I TOLD DANIELLE, I'M LIKE, SHE'S COMING BECAUSE NOBODY WILL TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT.

AMBER. THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST SAID, NO, SHE'S NOT COMING, BUT THAT WAS NOT WHAT THEY SAID, AND I SAID, AND I TOLD DANIELLE, I GO, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE.

FOR MY FAMILY I HAVE TO LEAVE, AND DANIEL WAS LIKE, YEAH, AND I APPRECIATE THAT SHE LEFT WITH ME.

IT WAS UNITY, AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU SHOWED UP, AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WHY DIDN'T YOU WAIT TILL SHE CAME IN? BECAUSE MY FAMILY, WHEN I GOT HOME, MY HUSBAND SAID, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

[03:35:02]

SO PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

WE MAKE CRAZY DECISIONS ON THIS BOARD AND THEY'RE ON THIS BOARD.

THEY'RE NOT AT MY HOUSE.

SO NO, I WASN'T WAITING UNTIL A COVID PERSON WALKED UP, AND THEN I'D BE LIKE, OH, HEY, I'LL LEAVE, AND BY THE WAY, THAT DESK WAS RIGHT HERE AND IT IS NOT SIX FEET.

IT ALSO WAS NOT SIX FEET PLUS THEY HAD AN AIR THING OVER HERE.

I'M AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER.

YOU WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE SITTING THERE? I'M SITTING HERE, AND THEY HAD THE AIR THING ACTUALLY RIGHT OVER HERE, AND AS AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER, I'M LIKE, OH, IT'S GOING TO BLOW, RIGHT THEY'RE SUCKING THAT AIR RIGHT ACROSS ME. THAT'S LOVELY.

DANIELLE AND I HAVE ALWAYS SAID COVID'S REAL AND THIS ISN'T ABOUT COVID.

THIS IS ABOUT MISCOMMUNICATION, POOR COMMUNICATION, WHICH WE ALL KNOW AMBER IS HORRIBLE AT COMMUNICATING.

ALL SHE HAD TO SAY WAS NO AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE ADMIN WOULD NOT TELL ME.

THE ADMIN I LOVE THEM, AND SHE KNEW, BUT SHE.

I ASKED HER THREE TIMES BECAUSE AMBER WAS IN THE BACK AND I COULDN'T FIND AMBER WASN'T HERE.

SHE'S LIKE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK THE PRESIDENT, AND I'M LIKE, THIS IS SO BIZARRE, AND SHE WAS AFRAID, AND THAT'S THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

I MEAN. 3 MINUTES.

THANK YOU. SO.

I MEAN, THAT REALLY IS THE TRUE STORY FOR MY SIDE, AND I WILL ALSO CORRECT YOU.

THE TEA MONITOR DID NOT CALL ME.

DR. FALTYS DID NOT CALL ME.

DR. FALTYS ACTUALLY EMAILED ME TO MY BOARD EMAIL AND SAID, HEY, I JUST REALIZED I DON'T HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER, AND HE DID THIS.

I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT TIME, BUT I DON'T HAVE MY BOARD EMAIL, WHICH I DON'T THINK YOU DO EITHER, AMY.

I DON'T HAVE MY BOARD EMAIL ON MY PHONE.

SO IF I'M OUT DURING THE DAY, I DON'T GET MY BOARD EMAILS.

IT BECAME TOO PERVASIVE IN MY LIFE THAT TO GET ALL THESE BOARD EMAILS.

SO WHEN I GO HOME, I GET THEM.

SO DR. FALTYS EMAIL, I THINK I PROBABLY GOT IT WHEN I GOT HOME.

I USUALLY START GETTING READY AROUND 3:30, 4:30, SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE.

I PROBABLY GOT IT THEN I WAS PROBABLY LIKE, WELL, HE WAS ALREADY ON HIS WAY.

IT WAS AN EMAIL.

IT WASN'T EVEN A TEXT.

SO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES, BUT THESE CENSURE RESOLUTIONS, THEY ARE DEFAMATORY, AND IT OPENS THE DISTRICT TO RISKS PER THE COURT CASE OF HOUSTON COMM COLLEGE SYSTEM VERSUS WILSON.

THE CENSURED DOCUMENTS ASSERT MISINFORMATION IS TRUTH AND FRAMES A NARRATIVE INTENDED TO HARM THE REPUTATIONS OF BOTH TRUSTEE WESTON AND ME.

THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN TRYING TO COVER UP LEADERSHIP FAILURE OF FELLER AND WEIR GOING AGAINST DISTRICT COVID POLICY AND CDC GUIDANCE.

THAT'S ALL THIS IS AND GOING THROUGH THE RESOLUTIONS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO DID THESE, BUT THE ALAMODOME.

THE FIRST CASE IN LIKE THE THIRD WHEREAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHATEVER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

THE DISTRICT HOLDS REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS THE THIRD THURSDAY EVERY MONTH AND HAS FOR NUMEROUS YEARS.

THAT'S ACTUALLY FALSE. SOMETIMES IT'S THE SECOND THURSDAY.

SO THAT'S ALSO FALSE.

THE DISTRICT OPERATES JULY 1ST THROUGH JUNE 30TH.

YEP, THAT MEETING WAS ON JUNE 16TH.

I'M GLAD YOU POINTED OUT WE HAD LOTS OF DAYS.

PUBLIC FUNDS OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAY NOT BE SPENT IN ANY MANNER THAN THE ADOPTED BUDGET WELL LAST YEAR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE SPENT $16 MILLION DOLLARS IN OUR DISTRICT THAT WASN'T BOARD APPROVED.

SO THAT'S NOT TRUE.

ONE OF THEM SAYS THERE WAS ONLY FOUR TRUSTEES IN ATTENDANCE.

WELL, I CAN COUNT. THERE WAS FIVE.

IT SAYS TRUSTEE MARY BONE HAS BEEN REGULARLY REFUSING TO RESPOND TO BOARD MEETING ATTENDANCE REQUESTS FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT.

I DON'T GET BOARD MEETING ATTENDANCE REQUEST.

I GET CALENDAR INVITES.

THERE'S YES NO AND MAYBE, AND NOW THAT I'VE DONE NOW THAT I'M SAYING MAYBE, OH, NOW THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH EITHER.

NOW OTHER PEOPLE CAN RESPOND, MAYBE, BUT I CAN'T RESPOND MAYBE I HAVE TO RESPOND YES OR NO.

SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I DO.

I DON'T GET IT RIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS BELIEVE.

I WILL ALSO SAY THAT WHEN I GOT DR.

FALTY'S, I HAVE NO DR.

FALTY'S THERE IS NOTHING IN HIS ROLL, BY THE WAY, THAT SAYS THAT HE SHOULD BE CONTACTING US ABOUT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE MEETING OR NOT.

SO, MARY, THAT'S TIME.

I'M GOING TO JUST REMIND THE BOARD MEMBERS TONIGHT THAT WE'RE HERE IN OPEN.

AS I STATED EARLIER, TRUSTEE WEIR HAS BROUGHT THESE DRAFT CENSURES, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLOSED.

THEY'VE REQUESTED IT, TRUSTEE BONE AND WESTON TO BE IN OPEN, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS IN OPEN, BUT I DID HEAR SOME THINGS WHERE YOU MENTIONED SOME THINGS AGAINST DIRECTED TOWARDS THE BOARD PRESIDENT FELLER, AND SO IF IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPLAINT OR CHARGE AGAINST ANOTHER PUBLIC OFFICER, THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE IN CLOSED UNLESS SHE REQUESTED

[03:40:01]

OKAY.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

DO YOU WANT ANY KIND OF WARNING? WELL, I GUESS I NEED CLARITY BEFORE I START, BECAUSE MY COMMENTS ABOUT WHY I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING, I WILL BE NAMING OTHER TRUSTEES.

THERE'S NO WAY AROUND THAT.

I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN NAME OR I'M SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY OF A COUPLE OF THINGS I HEARD COMING FROM DURING TRUSTEE BONES, NOT THE ENTIRE THING, BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES I HEARD HER SAY THINGS LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT IT, BUT IT'S PUBLIC.

IT WAS DONE.

THAT SHE BELIEVES THE BOARD PRESIDENT'S A LIAR AND IS KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY TO BE A LIAR, THINGS LIKE THAT, ARE PUBLIC COMPLAINTS OR CHARGES DIRECTED AGAINST A BOARD MEMBER.

THAT'S NOT PART OF THE RESOLUTION CENSURE THAT TRUSTEE WEIR IS BRINGING FORWARD AGAINST EITHER YOU OR TRUSTEE BONE.

SO LET'S NOT DO PERSONAL ATTACKS AGAINST A BOARD MEMBER THAT'S NOT INVOLVED IN THE RESOLUTION.

VALERIE. PLEASE DON'T ABOUT PERSONAL ATTACKS.

I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. WELL AMBER WAS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT I WAS LYING.

SHE WAS ACTUALLY SAYING NO, LIKE I WAS RESPONDING TO HER.

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T SEE HER, BUT THAT'S WHY THAT COMMENT WAS MADE.

SO IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN CLOSED, UNLESS THAT PERSON IS ASKING FOR OPEN.

YOU TWO HAVE ASKED THAT THE COMPLAINTS AGAINST YOU BE IN OPEN, BUT IF THERE'S ANY CHARGE OR COMPLAINT DIRECTED AGAINST ANOTHER TRUSTEE SUCH AS A BOARD PRESIDENT, THEN THAT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED WITH HER BECAUSE SHE IS INDICATED SHE DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE THAT IN OPEN.

OKAY, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF DUE PROCESS AND I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE DONE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE REASON THAT THIS IS BEING DONE TO ME.

SO I WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT I WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPLAIN WHY I BELIEVE THIS IS BEING DONE TO ME.

I THINK I JUST HAVE TO HEAR IT, AND IF I SEE MAYBE A CONCERN, I THINK I'LL INTERJECT IF I NEED TO, AND WE'LL STOP THE TIME AND SAVE YOUR TIME.

OKAY. SO ARE WE STARTING? OKAY. SO AT FIRST I'M GOING TO NEED TO GET CLARITY ON JUST SOME FACTUAL THINGS.

SO I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS.

THE FIRST QUESTION IS, AND THESE ARE JUST TRUE OR FALSE QUESTIONS, HAD THE BUDGET NOT BEEN PASSED ON JUNE 16, 2022, WOULD TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE NOT BEEN PAID? THE ANSWER IS.

NO, THAT IS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.

THE BUDGET DID NOT NEED TO BE PASSED ON JUNE 16TH FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF TO BE PAID.

THERE WERE 14 ADDITIONAL DAYS IN THE BUDGET CYCLE IN WHICH MEETINGS COULD BE HELD AND THE BUDGET COULD BE PASSED.

WE CAN DISAGREE ON MAYBE WHY SOME TRUSTEES WANTED TO DO IT ON JUNE 16TH.

I THINK THAT'S A VALID CONVERSATION AND DEBATE, BUT THE QUESTION, DID IT HAVE TO BE PASSED THAT NIGHT FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF TO BE PAID? THE ANSWER IS NO.

IS THE DISTRICT CLOSED FOR TWO WEEKS FROM THE THIRD FRIDAY IN JUNE TO JULY 5TH, AS IS ASSERTED IN THIS RESOLUTION.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE DISTRICT CALENDAR IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

IT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.

YOU CAN GO TO THAT CALENDAR RIGHT NOW.

IT'S NOT CONFIDENTIAL.

THE DISTRICT IS NOT CLOSED.

IS IT A VIOLATION OF DISTRICT POLICY TO COME TO SCHOOL IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE SICK WITH COVID AND HAVE SYMPTOMS? YES, IT IS A VIOLATION OF DISTRICT POLICY TO DO THAT.

NOW WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP.

YOU'RE ASCRIBING MOTIVES.

TRUSTEE WEIR I THINK IT'S FAIR FOR YOU TO WEIGH IN ON YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT BEHAVIOR.

WHERE WE GO WRONG IS WHERE WE ASCRIBE MOTIVES TO OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR RESOLUTION.

THAT IS WHERE YOU GO WRONG.

YOU HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ME ABOUT THIS.

YOU ARE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.

I DID NOT LEAVE THE MEETING FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU DESCRIBED.

I LEFT FOR OTHER REASONS WHICH I WILL GO INTO.

BOARD DYNAMICS HERE ARE BROKEN.

THEY'RE BROKEN, BUT RATHER THAN MAKING GOOD FAITH EFFORTS TO WORK THROUGH CONFLICT, WHAT HAS HAPPENED,

[03:45:04]

OVER DR. BONE AND I WHICH SETS WHICH NOT ONLY DAMAGES BOARD DYNAMICS, BUT IT SETS A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. MY THOUGHTS ON THIS DIVISIVE AND COSTLY CENSURE PROCESS.

THE SAME TRUSTEE WHO SAID IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR MORE THAN 18 PEOPLE TO SIT IN DISTRICT APPROVED CHAIRS AT A BOARD MEETING LAST FALL UNDER THE GUISE OF COVID FEAR IS THE TRUSTEE LEADING THE CHARGE TO CENSURE DR.

BONE AND I TONIGHT FOR LEAVING A MEETING ON JUNE 16, 2022, IN WHICH SHE SHOWED UP COVID SYMPTOMATIC TO THE SAME BOARDROOM THAT THE HYPOCRISY IS SO OUTRAGEOUS.

ONE WONDERS IF THIS IS A COMEDIC PARODY.

THIS IS ALSO THE SAME TRUSTEE WHO STORMED OUT OF A MEETING HERSELF ON MARCH 24TH, 2022, BUT THE CAMERAS WERE NOT ROLLING BECAUSE SHE LEFT, STORMED OUT OF CLOSED SESSION.

DID YOU JUST SAY THAT WAS TRUSTEE WEIR THAT DID THAT? I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T SAY THE NAME.

ON JUNE 13TH, 2022, TRUSTEE FELLER TOLD ME THAT SHE DID NOT BELIEVE SHE WOULD HAVE A QUORUM FOR THE JUNE 16TH, 2022 REGULAR BOARD MEETING. I RECOMMENDED SHE SCHEDULE THE MEETING WHEN SHE COULD CONVENE A QUORUM.

I ALSO REMINDED HER THAT THE BUDGET DID NOT NEED TO BE PASSED UNTIL JUNE 30TH.

SHE DID NOT RESPOND TO ME.

ALSO ON JUNE 13, 2022, DR.

AZAIEZ TOLD ME THAT IF THE BUDGET DID NOT PASS BY JUNE 30TH, THAT THERE WERE, QUOTE, WORKAROUNDS, UNQUOTE, AND THAT OPERATIONS WOULD CONTINUE.

UPON ARRIVAL AT THE JUNE 16TH, 2022 MEETINGS, I OBSERVED A DESK SET UP WITH TRUSTEE WEIR'S NAMEPLATE ON IT THAT WAS SURROUNDED BY PLEXIGLASS. I OBSERVED AND HEARD DR.

BONE ASK TRUSTEE FELLER IF WEIR WAS COMING TO THE MEETINGS THAT EVENING.

FELLER REPLIED, SHE MIGHT COME TO THE REGULAR MEETING.

THAT'S A QUOTE. WEIR WAS ALSO SPOTTED JUST OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARD ROOM IN THE PARKING LOT ON JUNE 16TH, 2022 AROUND 5:15 P.M..

THUS I COULD NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE BE COMPLICIT AND WHAT MIGHT LIKELY BE A VIOLATION OF SCHOOL DISTRICT HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY BY REMAINING IN THE MEETING.

YOU CAN PREDICT WITH 100% ACCURACY THAT IF I EVER OBSERVE A VIRUS CONTAINMENT APPARATUS SET UP IN THE BOARDROOM FOR A KNOWINGLY SICK TRUSTEE TO ATTEND, I WILL PEACEFULLY DEPART AGAIN.

THE RHETORIC ABOUT THE DISTRICT BEING CLOSED IS PROPAGANDA.

A REVIEW OF THE BOARD APPROVED DISTRICT CALENDAR REVEALS THAT THE DISTRICT IS NOT CLOSED FOR TWO WEEKS IN JUNE.

DAYS THAT THE DISTRICT IS CLOSED HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

THE DISTRICT WAS OPEN FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE.

TEACHERS AND STAFF WERE NEVER UNDER ANY THREAT OF NOT GETTING PAID IF THE BUDGET DID NOT PASS ON JUNE 16, 2022.

ANY ASSERTION TO THE CONTRARY IS A LIE.

I APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THINGS UP AND ALLOW THE TRUTH TO PREVAIL.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REAL REASONS FOR THESE TAXPAYER FUNDED CENSURE RESOLUTIONS.

THIS IS THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF THE BOARD OFFICER'S ABANDONMENT OF THEIR SACRED DUTY TO 46,000 STUDENTS.

THEY HAVE OBSESSIVELY ABUSED DISTRICT RESOURCES AND THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT AND THEIR RELENTLESS AND MEANINGLESS SANCTION AND CENSURE EFFORTS AGAINST DR.

BONE AND I FOR THE LAST TEN MONTHS IN THIS KANGAROO COURT.

THIS IS OUR REWARD FOR UNAPOLOGETICALLY EXPOSING THEIR REMEDIAL, THEIR REPEATED MALFEASANCE AND DERELICTION OF DUTY AT THE EXPENSE OF INNOCENT CHILDREN.

THEY KNOW THEIR MAJORITY WILL EVAPORATE IN LESS THAN 90 DAYS AND HAVE DECIDED TO DOUBLE DOWN ON A FAILED LEGACY.

40% OF OUR THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADERS ARE DOING MATH BELOW GRADE LEVEL.

OVER 50% OF BLACK AND HISPANIC THIRD AND FOURTH GRADERS READ BELOW GRADE LEVEL.

ALGEBRA ONE IS THE GATEWAY TO HIGHER MATH, AND ALMOST HALF OF ROUND ROCK ISD STUDENTS DO NOT PASS THE ALGEBRA 1 END OF COURSE EXAM.

ONLY 64% OF SENIORS ARE COLLEGE READY IN READING AND MATH.

MY MESSAGE TO STAKEHOLDERS IS THIS LEGITIMATE AND POLITICAL LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS COMING FOR THESE FAILED TRUSTEES.

THIS CENSURE IS THEIR ATTEMPT TO COUNTER THAT ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS EFFORT WILL BACKFIRE ON THEM AS ALL SHORT SIGHTED POLITICAL ATTACKS DO.

[03:50:04]

BONE AND I WILL MAKE PERFECT SENSE.

I BELIEVE THE MOTIVE BEHIND THESE CENSURES IS TO DISTRACT FROM THE OFFENSIVE, RACIST, UNETHICAL AND LIKELY ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR OF THE BOARD OFFICERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TRUSTEE AMBER FELLER.

FLIPPING THE DOUBLE MIDDLE FINGERS TO AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN ROUND ROCK ISD COUNSELOR, WHICH WOULD.

I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO TALK ABOUT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ME IN OPEN SESSION.

IF YOU HAVE COMPLAINT AGAINST ME, WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CLOSED SESSION, BUT ACTUALLY THAT'S A PAUSE HIT PAUSE PLEASE ON HER TIME.

THAT'S ALREADY I MEAN, THAT'S PUBLIC.

THAT'S A FACT. THERE'S LIKE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

THERE'S A PROBLEM.

I UNDERSTAND BUT AS I INDICATED EARLIER, ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER THINGS NOT RELATED TO THIS CENSURE RESOLUTION PRESENTED BY TRUSTEE WEIR DIRECTED TOWARDS TRUSTEE WESTON AND TRUSTEE BONE AND YOUR RESPONSES TO HER RESOLUTION, HER DRAFT RESOLUTION, ANYTHING DIRECTED AGAINST ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER SHOULD BE DONE IN CLOSED UNLESS THAT BOARD MEMBER AGREES TO IT BEING DONE IN OPEN UNDER 551.074 THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

PLEASE BEGIN TRUSTEE WESTON'S TIME AGAIN.

LIKE I SAID, KANGAROO COURT.

THE REASON FOR THE CENSURE IS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I UNAPOLOGETICALLY AND PUBLICLY EXPOSE THE MALFEASANCE OF THE BOARD OFFICERS.

PERIOD. I'M NOT EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO SHARE THEIR MALFEASANCE.

WHICH IS THE REASON FOR THE CENSURE.

I'M BEING CENSORED IN MY CENSURE.

THAT'S QUITE A DISTINCTION.

I'M BEING CENSORED IN MY CENSURE.

LET THAT SINK IN.

OBSERVERS CAN DRAW THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS.

AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING.

IF IT WASN'T, HOW DO I SAY IT? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IS SO OUTRAGEOUS THAT ONE WONDERS IF IT'S A COMEDIC PARODY.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP.

TO THE STUDENTS AND STAFF IN ROUND ROCK ISD MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO STAY STRONG AND THAT HELP IS ON THE WAY.

I'M NOT INTIMIDATED BY THIS CENSURE, HARASSMENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK PUBLICLY ON MY OPINIONS OF THE MALFEASANCE OF THESE BOARD OFFICERS. YOUR TIME IS UP.

REMAINING TRUSTEES I WOULD LIKE YOU TO, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO PLEASE DIRECT WHO YOUR QUESTION IS FOR, SINCE THESE ARE THERE'S TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED.

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT TRUSTEE BONE SAID, PLEASE DIRECT YOUR QUESTION, TRUSTEE BONE I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS PORTION OF WHAT YOU SAID OR TRUSTEE WESTON I WOULD I'M TRYING TO KEEP THIS AS ORGANIZED AND AS CONSISTENT WITH DECORUM AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

WHY DON'T WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO QUESTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS? YES, WE DID, WE DID WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S ALMOST 1:00 IN THE MORNING.

WE DECIDED WE WOULD HANDLE THIS JUST LIKE WE HAD TO DO IT IN A GRIEVANCE.

IN THE INTEREST OF TIME I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO LIMIT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. IF ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE INTEREST.

I MOVE TO LIMIT COMMENT PER TRUSTEE TO 3 MINUTES PER TRUSTEE FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

I WILL NEED A FEW MORE MINUTES THAN THAT BECAUSE I WAS PERSONALLY ATTACKED BY BOTH OF THEM AND COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT WHAT I SAID AND DID NOT SAID, AND I NEED A TIME TO BE ABLE TO VERIFY.

I HAVE EVIDENCE AND I HAVE PROOF THAT SOME OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ARE NOT TRUE.

NO SECOND, I'LL WITHDRAW MY MOTION.

ANYONE'S FREE TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTION, BUT.

CAN WE JUST LIMIT THE OVERALL TIME? 20 MINUTES. THAT'LL TAKE US TO 1:00 AND WE'RE DONE.

[03:55:03]

SO I MOVE TO LIMIT THE OVERALL QUESTION AND COMMENTARY PERIOD TO 30 MINUTES.

SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 5 2.

CAN YOU START THE CLOCK FOR 30 MINUTES? IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND, I WOULD LIKE TO GO FIRST JUST BECAUSE I WAS DIRECTED AT A FEW OF THOSE THINGS.

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AT THE JUNE 13TH AGENDA SETTING MEETING.

I HAD INVITED TRUSTEE WESTON TO JOIN.

AT THAT MEETING WAS MR. COVINGTON, TRUSTEE WESTON, DR.

AZAIEZ, MYSELF, VALERIE AND DR.

FALTYS AND MS. HILL YOU WEREN'T, WERE YOU AT THAT? IT WAS YOUR FIRST WHAT I THINK IT WAS ONE OF YOUR FIRST WEEKS HERE, THE AGENDA SETTING MEETING ON JUNE 13TH.

AT THE END OF THE AGENDA SETTING MEETING, I SAID, I CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A QUORUM OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE RSVP'D ON THE BUDGET.

I DISTINCTLY RECALL MR. COVINGTON PUTTING HIS HEAD ON THE TABLE AND BEING VERY UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE MIGHT NOT PASS A BUDGET.

I ASKED TRUSTEE WESTON POINT BLANK, CAN YOU CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THE MEETING ON JUNE 16TH? AND YOUR RESPONSE WAS, I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE AGENDA AND I'M NOT PREPARED TO DISCUSS ANYTHING ELSE.

I'M WILLING TO LET ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS ROOM IF THEY WANT TO CONFIRM THEY HEARD THE SAME THING.

I HATE TO PUT STAFF ON THE POINT, BUT THAT IS WHAT I REMEMBER HAPPENING.

DR. AZAIEZ, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT STATEMENT BEING SAID BY TRUSTEE WESTON? YES. MR. COVINGTON, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT STATEMENT? I CAN CONFIRM THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

YOU'RE CONFIRMING IT OKAY. I THOUGHT YOU SAID YES.

YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO CONFIRM IT, AND SO YOU LEFT, AND AT THAT POINT I STARTED PREPARING FOR WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM.

I DID EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES WITH DR.

AZAIEZ IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PASS A BUDGET AFTER JUNE 16TH.

UNFORTUNATELY, DR.

AZAIEZ WAS MAKING AN INTERNATIONAL TRIP.

MR. COVINGTON WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE REQUIRED STAFF HERE.

IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET AFTER JUNE 16TH.

AS A RESULT, I NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE EVENT THAT WE HAD NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE TO BE ABLE TO PASS A BUDGET, AND THAT IS WHEN I DEVELOPED THIS PLAN.

NEVER WAS THERE A PLAN FOR TRUSTEE WEIR TO BE IN PERSON.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR TRUSTEE BONE YOU SAID THAT YOU BOTH HAD YOUR OWN SEPARATE REASONS AS TO WHY YOU LEFT.

HOWEVER, THERE IS VIDEO PROOF FROM THE AUDIENCE THAT THE TWO OF YOU LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, NODDED AND STOOD UP AND LEFT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.

THAT'S NOT MY QUESTION. HOLD ON.

MY QUESTION IS OR YOU ALSO SAID THAT YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT TRUSTEE BONE COMING IN POSITIVE.

YOU SAID THAT I DIDN'T GIVE A RESPONSE WHEN YOU ASKED IF TRUSTEE WEIR WAS COMING IN.

DANIELLE JUST SAID THAT I SAID SHE MAY COME IN FOR THE REGULAR MEETING.

SO YOU BOTH JUST GAVE CONFLICTING ANSWERS AS TO WHAT I SAID WHEN I ASKED IF TRUSTEE BONE WAS GOING TO COME, I MEAN, TRUSTEE WEIR WAS COMING IN.

NO, ACTUALLY, I SAID YOU DIDN'T SAY NO.

I SAID YOU SAID SHE MIGHT, AND TRUSTEE WEIR.

I MEAN, TRUSTEE WESTON JUST SAID THAT.

I SAID SHE WOULD BE COMING IN FOR THE SHE MIGHT COME IN FOR THE REGULAR MEETING.

YES. SHE MIGHT. YEAH, I DIDN'T GIVE THE WHOLE QUOTE.

SHE GAVE THE WHOLE QUOTE.

I CAN'T I MEAN.

YEAH. MY WHOLE POINT IN MY STATEMENT.

SEE, THIS IS WHAT'S FUNNY.

IT'S LIKE I DIDN'T GIVE THE WHOLE QUOTE.

I JUST. JUST ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION.

NO, BUT IT'S YOUR FACE. JUST ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION, ACTUALLY, IF YOU GO BACK AND REWATCH THIS TAPE, I SAID, BECAUSE ALL I WAS POINTING OUT IS THAT I JUST NEEDED A YES OR NO, AND YOU SAID SHE MIGHT.

I DID. I DON'T I KNOW I DIDN'T SAY THAT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT, IT'S THERE'S ALWAYS THREE SIDES TO THE TRUTH.

WHAT YOU HEARD, WHAT I HEARD AND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO WE DON'T NEED TO ARGUE ABOUT IT.

WE CAN JUST MOVE ON. YEAH.

IT'S ALSO JUST SO YOU KNOW, I CAPTURED IT LIKE THAT DAY.

IT'S CAPTURED LIKE THAT'S WHAT AND HERE'S THE THING.

SO AMBER. SO LET'S GO THERE, THOUGH ACTUALLY, THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.

YOU'RE RIGHT. MAYBE THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THAT'S WHAT I HEARD, AND THAT'S WHAT DANIELLE HEARD, AND WE HAVE THIS RED BUTTON RIGHT HERE FOR YOU TO CALL FOR A POINT OF ORDER TO SAY, IS TRUSTEE WEIR COMING IN.

WELL, I JUST EXPLAINED THIS, AND I ANNOUNCED FROM THE DAIS IT'S ON THE VIDEO THAT TRUSTEE WEIR HAS COVID AND SHE IS POSITIVE FIVE DAYS POST SYMPTOMS FROM THE DAIS AT 5:30, AND I SAID THAT IS WHY SHE IS GOING TO BE A FEW MINUTES LATE JOINING US.

SO IT DIDN'T WASN'T HERE AT 5:15 AND SHE WAS ON THE VIDEO AT 5:30.

GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO.

I SPECIFICALLY SAID SHE WILL BE LATE JOINING US BECAUSE SHE IS ON HER WAY BACK TO HER HOME.

SHE WOULD NOT MAKE IT IN 15 MINUTES.

WELL, YEAH, I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT ANYBODY WITH COVID POSITIVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY POINT OF ORDER WOULD HAVE BEEN THEN.

I DID NOT DO A POINT OF ORDER BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY ASKED YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER.

[04:00:03]

SO YOU PUT IT ON THE RECORD.

YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME.

OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I'LL DEFER. WELL, ACTUALLY.

WHOA. YOU JUST YOU KEEP INTERRUPTING ME, SEE? YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS RULES FOR THE BUT NOT FOR ME, RIGHT? LIKE, I DON'T GET TO RESPOND.

YOU GET TO JUST CUT ME OFF AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT.

NO. CAN I? GO FOR IT. YEAH.

CAN I RESPOND? YEAH. SO YOU MENTIONED THAT.

I MEAN, WE ALL HAVE RECOLLECTIONS.

I ACTUALLY WROTE IT DOWN. I COULD PROBABLY ACTUALLY GO PULL IT UP THE NEXT DAY.

I ACTUALLY WROTE WHAT HAPPENED, AND THE STORY HASN'T CHANGED BECAUSE IT'S FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, I HADN'T HAD MY REASONS TO LEAVE.

DANIELLE HAD HERS, AND BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU JUST SAID, BECAUSE IF YOU GO BACK, SEE AND WE ALSO HAVE A LISTENING PROBLEM AT THIS BOARD BECAUSE WE DON'T LISTEN TO EACH OTHER LIKE FULLY.

WE LISTEN FOR OUR NAMES.

WE LISTEN FOR THINGS WE WANT.

WE DON'T LISTEN.

IF YOU GO BACK TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER, I SAID I HAD MY REASONS FOR LEAVING AND DANIELLE HAD HERS, AND IF YOU GO BACK AND LISTEN TO WHAT I JUST SAID A FEW MINUTES AGO . I HEARD YOU SAY THAT. PLEASE, CAN YOU NOT INTERRUPT ME, PLEASE? I'M TALKING. THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO, AND I SAID THAT IN BETWEEN BECAUSE REMEMBER WE HAD TWO MEETINGS THAT NIGHT, CORRECT? MM HMM. SO BETWEEN THE TWO MEETINGS.

SO WE'RE NOT MEETINGS.

WE'RE BETWEEN TWO MEETINGS.

SO WE'RE NOT IN ANY KIND OF WEIRD STATE.

I WENT TO TRUSTEE WESTON.

SHE KNOWS MY STORY AND I SAID I HAVE TO LEAVE.

OKAY. OK, AND THEN I SAID BUT I DON'T WANT TO BREAK QUORUM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT NOT GOING.

THE KIDS ARE HERE. NOT GOING TO DO THIS TO THE KIDS, AND WHAT ABOUT WITH TRUSTEE WEIR BEING ON SCREEN IN HER HOME IN THE SECOND MEETING? WE SAW HER VERY CLEARLY ON THE VIDEO.

YES. MY FULL BELIEF WAS THAT SHE WAS COMING IN FOR THE BUDGET.

SO MY FULL BELIEF WAS AT SOME POINT.

YOU DIDN'T ASK? AMBER I HAD ALREADY ASKED AMBER.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE FUNNY THING WITH YOU.

YOU ARE JUST THE BIGGEST.

I MEAN, OUT OF ALL OF THEM, YOU'RE QUITE THE TRIP.

YOU REALLY ARE. I MEAN.

I MEAN, EVEN. EVEN ANNE DIXON.

YOU SHOULD ASK OH, SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTROL THE MICS ARE WE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ISSUING COMPLAINTS AGAINST FELLOW TRUSTEES WHEN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD.

NO, I'M NOT. LET'S LEAVE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE, OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHO WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE PRESENTERS PLEASE.

SO ACTUALLY, EVERYTHING I JUST SAID STILL ALIGNS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SORRY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM TRUSTEES? I HAVE MY LIGHT ON.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY, AND WE GOT AN EMAIL TODAY THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY POWERFUL, AND I ASKED PERMISSION FROM THIS PERSON TO SHARE AND THEY SAID YES.

SO A COUPLE OF CLARIFICATIONS.

THE DISTRICT IS CLOSED EVERY FRIDAY IN JUNE AND JULY.

SO OUR MEETING WAS ON THURSDAY, JUNE 16TH.

THE DISTRICT WAS CLOSED ON FRIDAY, JUNE 17TH, AND THE STAFF WAS OFF FROM THAT MONDAY.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE 17TH, 18TH, 19TH, 20TH, FROM THE 20TH THROUGH JULY 5TH.

SO WE HAD THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY ON THAT MONDAY.

JULY 5TH WAS THE TUESDAY.

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE ON THE DAIS THAT MAKE A MEETING RUN.

RIGHT. WE HAVE OUR BOARD SECRETARY THAT MAKES SURE ALL OF OUR MATERIALS ARE TOGETHER.

WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

WE HAVE JENNIFER IN THE BACK STREAMING.

THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT BECAUSE OF OUR UNPREPAREDNESS, WE'VE HAD TO ASK THESE PEOPLE TO COME IN ON A SUNDAY, TO COME IN EARLY IN THE MORNING.

THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE COULDN'T HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BUSINESS THAT NIGHT.

IT'S DISAPPOINTING, AND IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE UNLESS WE CALLED PEOPLE BACK FROM THEIR VACATIONS TO PASS THIS BUDGET WHEN WE WERE ALREADY HERE TO PASS THE BUDGET.

SO I JUST REALLY WANT TO BE HONEST ABOUT THAT.

THIS IS LIKE FOR ME, THERE'S NO JOY IN THIS.

LIKE, THIS ISN'T FUN.

IT'S EMBARRASSING.

I WISH WE COULD GET ALONG, AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN IN THE FUTURE.

THIS IS PART OF THE EMAIL THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY POWERFUL THAT A COMMUNITY MEMBER SENT TODAY.

THEY SAID IN COMMUNITY WITH ONE ANOTHER, WE ARE BOTH INTERDEPENDENT OF THE SAME KIND OF INDIVIDUALS WITH OUR OWN NEEDS AND GOALS.

I THINK THAT RINGS TRUE TO WHAT I HEARD FROM YOU TODAY TRUSTEE BONE ABOUT YOUR OWN NEEDS AND CONCERNS.

FINDING HARMONY AS WE LIVE AND WORK WITH ONE ANOTHER IS HARD AND OFTENTIMES MESSY.

WE DO HARM AND HARM IS DONE TO US, AND IT IS VITAL THAT WE HAVE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES AND TOOLS TO MANAGE THE ESSENTIAL TASKS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF DEALING WITH THAT HARM.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS ONE TOOL.

[04:05:02]

UNFORTUNATELY, WE OFTEN LACK PREPAREDNESS.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE SHARED UNDERSTANDINGS OR EXPECTATIONS, AND WE LIVE IN A CULTURE WHICH FAVORS PUNISHMENT AND RETRIBUTION IN LIEU OF REAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS IS EXTREMELY INEFFECTIVE.

IS IT MOSTLY ENGENDERS ANGER AND BLAMING VERSUS SELF REFLECTION, AUTHENTIC BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS AND HARM REDUCTION? IT IS NOT BASED ON EMPATHY, UNDERSTANDING OR CENTERING OF THE HUMANITY OF ONE ANOTHER.

FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MODELS OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT ARE EFFECTIVE, FOCUSING ON HEALING AND MOVING FORWARD AFTER HARM HAS BEEN DONE.

THE CHOICES FOR EACH OF US AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS COMMUNITIES WE ENGAGE IN TO DECIDE HOW WE WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE AND TO WHOM AND WHEN HARM HAS OCCURRED AND HOW WE WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OURSELVES AND ONE ANOTHER, AND THEN AT THE END, THEY HAD A QUOTE FROM BELL HOOKS THAT SAID, FOR ME, FORGIVENESS AND COMPASSION ARE ALWAYS LINKED.

HOW DO WE HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WRONGDOING AND YET AT THE SAME TIME REMAIN IN TOUCH WITH THEIR HUMANITY ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IN THEIR CAPACITY TO BE TRANSFORMED? THAT WAS AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL EMAIL FROM THAT COMMUNITY MEMBER AND I THANK THEM.

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH AND GRAPPLE WITH BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK THAT THESE CENSURES ARE ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY.

I DO THINK THERE WAS WRONGDOING ON THE PARTS OF MY COLLEAGUES, AND THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT ANYONE ELSE IS PERFECT AND WE'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG, BUT MY QUESTION IS, WHAT'S THE MECHANISM FOR US TO HOLD OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE AS WE MOVE FORWARD? WE'RE NOT DONE YET. I DO KNOW THERE'S AN ELECTION COMING UP, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR US TO FOCUS ON AND FOCUS ON STUDENTS. I, FOR ME, WISH I HEARD SOME WILLINGNESS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS WRONG TO BREAK QUORUM DURING THAT MEETING AND THAT THERE WERE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ASKED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THAT TRUSTEE WEIR WAS AT HOME ON THE SCREEN.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS, PERSONAL TRAUMAS, PERSONAL THINGS.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A TIME WHERE WE WERE UNITED IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF STUDENTS.

I DO THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY, AND I'M REALLY SORRY THAT WE'RE EVEN HAVING TO DISCUSS THIS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

MR. JOHNSON. SO I'M GOING TO SAY PUBLICLY WHAT I'VE MENTIONED A FEW TIMES PRIVATELY THAT THE UNFORTUNATE ASPECT FOR ME BEING NEW TO ALL OF THIS IS THAT WE COULDN'T FIND A RESOLUTION BEFORE COMING INTO THIS STEP.

RIGHT? THAT THE MODEL THAT WE OFFER OUR STUDENTS, FOR OUR DISTRICT, FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS THAT WE FIND WAYS TO RESOLVE CONFLICT, THAT WE FIND WAYS TO DISAGREE, BUT BE CIVIL, FIND WAYS TO DISAGREE AND NOT DEHUMANIZE EACH OTHER, AND IT'S GOTTEN TO THAT POINT, AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING.

YOU HEARD ME MENTIONED WHEN I APPLIED TO BE ON THIS BODY THAT WHEN I CAME TO THIS DISTRICT, IT WAS KNOWN FOR EXCELLENCE, AND WE'RE GETTING BACK TO THAT RIGHT WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE SCORES TODAY.

BUT ALSO, THAT HAS TO GET BACK TO THAT, TO HOW WE LOOK TO OUR COMMUNITY, HOW WE LEAD OUR COMMUNITY, HOW WE ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY, AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT AT SOME POINT, AS AN AMERICAN, AS A VETERAN, I'LL TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, GOING OVER TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, BEING SHOT AT AND BOMBED FOR THIS COUNTRY, FOR THESE FREEDOMS THAT WE ENJOY, THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE IN THIS GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE GREAT TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS AND STUDENTS THAT THEY DESERVE BETTER.

THEY DO FROM ALL OF US, INCLUDING ME.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT IT'S 12:55 AT NIGHT.

WE HAVE STAFF HERE.

OFFICERS. THEY HAVE FAMILIES.

I'LL JUST SIMPLY SAY THIS.

I JUST HOPE ELECTION WITHSTANDING THAT WE FIND A WAY TO GET BACK TO BEING THAT MODEL, AND FIND A WAY TO WORK IT OUT WITH EACH OTHER AND FIND SOME SOLUTIONS.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT REDOING THE POLICY, PUTTING SOME STEPS IN BETWEEN THAT WE GET BACK TO THE SO.

YEAH.

I'M NOT EVEN REALLY SURE WHAT TO SAY.

I REALLY DON'T.

DON'T WANT TO BE HERE EITHER.

I DON'T WANT TO BE DEALING WITH ISSUES IF WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS MOMENT IN ANY OTHER WAY THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE TO JUST TALK IT OUT AND FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN HUMILITY AND JUST APOLOGIZE FOR THINGS

[04:10:10]

I COULD HAVE DONE THIS BETTER.

I COULD HAVE DONE THAT BETTER.

THAT WE COULD BE IN THAT PLACE TO TO WORK THROUGH THINGS, BUT THAT'S JUST NOT THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION THAT WE HAVE, AND THAT HASN'T BEEN THE REALITY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND SO WE'RE LEFT WITH VERY IMPERFECT RESOLUTIONS TO THINGS, THINGS THAT WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE THE MODEL.

WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE THIS WAY, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND I CERTAINLY TOOK TO HEART ALL OF THE COMMENTARIES FROM OUR STAFF WHICH PEOPLE CAN SEE SOME OF THEM ABOUT JUST WORK TOGETHER. STOP FIGHTING.

I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT.

I WANT TO WORK TOGETHER, AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE IN THAT BUDGET MEETING TO DISCUSS WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE DISCUSSED AND I FELT BADLY THAT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE I THINK THAT AS MUCH AS WE DISAGREE THAT WE ALL BRING VALID POINTS TO THE TABLE AND THAT WHEN WE HASH IT OUT, WE COME OUT WITH A BETTER PRODUCT.

EVEN IF IT'S UGLY, EVEN IF WE MAY GET A LITTLE RILED UP, WE STILL COME OUT WITH A BETTER PRODUCT IF WE ALL COME TO THE TABLE AND WORK TOGETHER, AND I AM SAD THAT IF INDEED YOU WERE AFRAID THAT AMY WAS GOING TO SHOW UP WITH COVID, THAT YOU JUST DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T ASK.

IS THIS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? VALUING THE, COLLABORATION.

I DID ASK. SO.

I ASKED TWO PEOPLE. HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE I SUPPOSED TO ASK? I THINK THAT, THOUGH, IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT SHE WAS AT HOME AND THAT SHE WASN'T.

YOU COULD HAVE SAID AT SOME POINT, I SEE HER AT HOME.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS, AMY WEIR ON THE.

YOU COULD HAVE ASKED HER. YOU DIDN'T ASK HER.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO COME TO THIS MEETING? POINT OF ORDER. AMY WEIR ON THE SCREEN.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO COME TO THIS MEETING? YOU KNOW, WE.

RIGHT NOW? DO YOU ADMIT YOU COULD HAVE DONE BETTER, THAT YOU COULD HAVE ASKED AMY.

AMY, ARE YOU COMING TO THIS MEETING POINT OF ORDER.

LET ME ASK, TRUSTEE WEIR ARE YOU PLANNING TO COME TO THIS MEETING? BECAUSE I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS IF YOU ARE.

COULD YOU SAY THAT YOU REGRET NOT DOING THAT AND YOU REGRET LEAVING THE ROOM AND WISH THAT WE COULD HAVE COME TOGETHER AND DEBATED VERY IMPORTANT THINGS, NOT JUST THE BUDGET.

WE ALSO HAD THE SHAC RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT AND NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS ON THAT AGENDA.

SO CAN I CAN I GET FROM EITHER OF YOU THAT YOU WISH YOU HAD CLARIFIED MORE SO THAT YOU HAD BEEN HERE TO TO DISCUSS THAT? CAN YOU AT LEAST SAY THAT? WELL, LET ME JUST START OFF WITH I JUST WENT THROUGH SOMETHING.

WE I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU DIDN'T DO K1 OR K2 ON ME, BUT WE WENT THROUGH SOMETHING THE OTHER NIGHT WHERE I CAME WITH HUMILITY AND I CAME WITH APOLOGIES AND LOOK HOW I WAS TREATED. CORY, YOU WERE THERE.

SO YOU GUYS JUST.

YOU WANT YOU WANT, YOU WANT.

YOU MAKE EXCUSES. IT'S LIKE CHILDREN.

I ALWAYS GO HOME AND I TELL MY YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO MY HUSBAND.

I'M LIKE, THEY'RE ARE A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOLERS.

I MEAN. I JUST LOOK AT TRUSTEE JOHNSON BECAUSE HE'S LIKE THE NEW PERSON AND HE KIND OF SEES WHAT'S GOING ON.

I CAME WHAT YOU WERE ASKING FOR.

I DID THE OTHER NIGHT. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.

NO, BUT YES, HE'S SHAKING HIS HEAD.

I CAME. I DID THAT.

THAT WAY DIDN'T WORK.

YOU GUYS KEEP MAKING EXCUSES.

WE WANT THIS. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I WANT THIS. WELL I'M SAYING RIGHT NOW.

DO I? IF YOU APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW, I WILL VOTE NO.

SO JUST. I PROMISE, I GIVE YOU MY WORD.

I WILL MAKE SURE I WILL GET CLARITY.

THAT WAS WRONG. I PROMISE YOU I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS.

OKAY, SO HERE'S THE DEAL. I PROMISE.

[04:15:02]

SO THE ONE THING I DID LEARN IS YES.

THAT'S GREAT FEEDBACK. SEE, LOOK, WE ACTUALLY DID GET SOMEWHERE.

NEXT TIME I WILL DO A POINT OF ORDER, AND I WILL ASK AND GET CLARITY ON CAMERA BEFORE I THINK SOMETHING'S GOING ON, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, JUST SO YOU GUYS REALLY UNDERSTAND.

MAYBE YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW.

COME AND TALK TO ME PERSONALLY.

WHAT I'VE GONE THROUGH WITH COVID, AND I'LL TELL YOU, I'LL TALK TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT FROM THE DAIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT MY STORY TO TELL, BUT YOU GUYS KNOW, YOU GUYS CANNOT PUT YOURSELF IN MY PERSPECTIVE.

WHEN I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT, I WAS FREAKING OUT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO COME IN WITH COVID.

BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY, BUT YOU GUYS SEE YOU DON'T SEE THE HUMANITY.

YOU GUYS KNOW THAT STORY AND I KNOW AMBER KNOWS THAT STORY, AND LOOK AT HER SMIRK, BECAUSE AMBER IS AMBER.

WHEN I ASKED HER SHE KNOWS, YOU GUYS ALL KNOW MY COVID STORY, AND AMBER DIDN'T CARE AND I COULDN'T GET AN ANSWER FROM THE OTHER PERSON.

ALL I SAW WAS FEAR.

AMY WAS COMING INTO MY MIND.

I DIDN'T NEED TO ASK.

SO IF YOU WANT TO HUMBLE MYSELF AND BE LIKE, HEY, MARY, YOU SHOULD HAVE CALMED DOWN AND NOT BEEN SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT WHAT LIKE YOU'D GONE THROUGH WITH COVID AND DID A POINT OF ORDER. SURE, I LEARNED THAT, AND I, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE I'LL DO THAT, BUT I THINK THE OTHER LESSON WE LEARNED HERE, COVID POSITIVE PEOPLE DO NOT COME AROUND ME.

WE DON'T SET UP A THING EVER.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT ANYWHERE.

I'LL TURN AROUND. I'LL WALK OUT.

IT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE.

IT'S THE HILL I DIE ON FOR MY FAMILY.

OKAY. WELL, I HEAR YOU.

TRUSTEE WESTON YOU COULD HAVE ALSO ASKED AMY IF SHE WAS WILLING TO COME OR SHE WAS GOING TO COME BEFORE. I MEAN, HAD YOU STAYED? WE WOULD HAVE HAD QUORUM.

SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU FEEL BADLY THAT YOU LEFT, THAT YOU DIDN'T GET CLARITY AND THAT WILL, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU WILLING TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT AND SAY, IN THE FUTURE, I WILL MAKE SURE TO ASK BECAUSE I VALUE OUR DISCUSSION ON THIS DAIS AND HAVING QUORUM FOR THESE IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

YEAH. NO, I APPRECIATE THAT. I MEAN, SO FOR OVER A YEAR, FOR MY MORE THAN MY FIRST YEAR ON THE BOARD.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I MISSED A SINGLE MEETING.

WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN AMY WAS PRESIDENT GETTING A QUORUM.

WE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM.

THAT'S UNIQUE.

THAT'S BEEN UNIQUE UNDER AMBER'S, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED.

I'M TRYING TO GET THERE. BECAUSE WHAT I'M GETTING TO IS MY COMMITMENT TO ATTENDING BOARD MEETINGS AND PERFORMING BOARD BUSINESS IS STRONG.

IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, I DECLINED TO ATTEND AN OUT-OF-TOWN FAMILY FUNERAL.

MY HUSBAND AND MY CHILDREN WENT TO A FUNERAL FOR A FAMILY MEMBER WITHOUT ME.

I STAYED HERE TO ATTEND THE BOARD MEETING IN FEBRUARY AND THEN AMBER CANCELED IT A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE IT WAS HELD.

FOR NO REASON.

FOR NO REASON.

AM I TO UNDERSTAND, THOUGH, THAT THE REASON THAT YOU LEFT IN THIS PARTICULAR MEETING BECAUSE YOU WERE ANGRY ABOUT PREVIOUS ACTIONS, SO YOU FELT IN THAT MOMENT, I'LL JUST LEAVE WITH HER.

YOUR QUESTION. BECAUSE MY QUESTION WAS, ARE YOU SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T GAIN CLARIFICATION BECAUSE YOUR REASONING WAS COVID ALSO? THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID NOW AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID THEN.

RIGHT, AND I'M SAYING YOU COULD HAVE ASKED AMY, YOU COULD HAVE GAINED CLARIFICATION.

EVEN IF TRUSTEE BONE LEFT, WE STILL WOULD HAVE HAD A QUORUM IF YOU WERE HERE, AND SHE HAS INDICATED AND WHICH I AM AWARE OF HER SITUATION.

SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU REGRET NOT GETTING CLARITY AND NOT ASCERTAINING THAT INFORMATION FROM TRUSTEE WEIR THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE PLANS TO COME TO THE MEETING AND THUS STAYING ON THE DAIS SO WE COULD FINISH THE WORK? DO YOU REGRET THAT? SO I'M TRYING TO GET THERE.

SO MY RECORD OF ATTENDING BOARD MEETINGS TO AT GREAT SACRIFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT BOARD BUSINESS GETS DONE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO ATTEND THE MEETING AND THEN LEAVE THE MEETING.

IF IT WAS MY GOAL TO NOT HAVE THE MEETING, I COULD HAVE JUST NOT COME.

THE FACT THAT I CAME AND I WAS HERE DEMONSTRATES I CAME HERE TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND PERFORM THE BUSINESS OF THE DISTRICT.

[04:20:06]

I ATTENDED A 90 MINUTE MEETING THAT EVENING.

WHEN I OBSERVED THAT CONTAINMENT APPARATUS.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, CORY, ALL OF THE DAMAGE THAT ALL OF THE PARENTS HAVE TOLD ME THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THE COVID PROTOCOLS THAT WERE IMPOSED ON THEIR CHILDREN.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WE WERE HAVING FIVE AND 6 HOURS OF PUBLIC COMMENTS OVER MASKS, AND PARENTS LOOKED ME IN THE EYES AND THEY SAID THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE DAMAGE AND THEN I SEE THIS THING SET UP OVER HERE, WHICH I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO SEE.

I WAS EXPECTING TO COME IN AND IT WAS GOING TO BE ALL OF THE TRUSTEES EXCEPT AMY.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.

I CAME TO THE MEETING TO GET THE BUSINESS OF THE DISTRICT DONE, AND I SEE THAT, AND FOR ME IT WAS ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY BECAUSE WE TOLD CHILDREN IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO COME TO SCHOOL, BUT THEN WHAT IS THIS THING OVER HERE SET UP FOR? BUT WHAT CLINCHED IT FOR ME WAS WHEN I WATCHED AND I LISTENED TO MARY ASK AMBER, IS AMY COMING TO THE MEETINGS? AND AMBER SAID SHE MIGHT COME TO THE REGULAR MEETING.

THAT'S WHAT YOU RECALL.

I CAN ONLY SPEAK MYSELF.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT I DID NOT SAY THAT IN MY RECOLLECTION.

YOU GUYS KEEP SAYING.

I SAID SHE MIGHT COME.

I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER THAT INTERCHANGE AND I DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER.

I DODGED THE QUESTION AND I STARTED THE MEETING.

I DID NOT GIVE MARY AN ANSWER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER.

AMY WAS ONLY GOING TO COME TO THE MEETING IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A QUORUM.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BUT ALL THE BUSINESS OF THIS BOARD HAPPENS ON THE DAIS, AND HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF TIMES HAVE YOU SAID, POINT OF ORDER, POINT OF ORDER, THAT'S ALL THAT HAD TO HAPPEN? WHAT I CAN DO IS I CAN CERTAINLY REFLECT AND AND LOOK BACK AND SAY, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T DO A POINT OF ORDER TO GAIN CLARITY.

I THINK THAT'S FAIR, BUT CAN I ASK CORY, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT WHY DID AMBER NOT YOU KNOW, SHE'S FIDDLING HERE WITH LIKE GETTING HER LIKE SHE CAN'T ANSWER IT.

TWO OF US HEARD THE SAME THING.

I MEAN, I TOOK A LITTLE PSYCHOLOGY AND ACTUALLY TWO PEOPLE USUALLY CAN'T COME UP WITH THE SAME STORY LIKE THAT, LIKE HERE THE SAME THING.

BECAUSE IF TWO PEOPLE HEAR THE SAME THING, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

SO THE QUESTION REALLY HERE IS WHY COULDN'T AMBER ANSWER ME? AND SHE EVEN SAID, I DODGED THE QUESTION, WHY DID SHE DODGE IT? YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEEN THE INTERACTION.

HER INTERACTION TO ME TOLD ME ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW.

SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ASK AMY.

IT TOLD ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW, AND I WAS LIKE, AND WE HAD ALREADY BEEN.

I HAD HEARD.

I WANT TO AVOID THIS CENSURE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

I AM TRYING TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN OUT HERE.

I AM TRYING TO GIVE YOU AN OUT TO SAY I AM SORRY I DID THAT.

I SHOULD HAVE SOUGHT CLARIFICATION.

I RESPONDED.

WE ALREADY DID.

WELL, GO AHEAD. CAN YOU PLEASE SAY THAT FOR ME? CAN YOU PLEASE SAY THAT? I KNOW THAT VERBATIM.

SEE, THIS IS THE OTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS CORY IS THAT AND YOU DID THIS THE OTHER NIGHT AND CLOSE AND I PLAYED LONG, BUT--I PROMISE I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS, [INAUDIBLE] GUYS, LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT CLOSED SESSION DISCUSSIONS IN PUBLIC, BECAUSE WE'RE IN OPEN REMEMBER RIGHT NOW.

WELL, ACTUALLY, THAT'S FINE, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT COULDN'T BE TALKED ABOUT THAT WAS ABOUT ME AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN OPEN.

SO IT'S FINE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

GO AHEAD. I CAN ACTUALLY ALLOW THAT.

THE OTHER NIGHT YOU DID THAT.

THE THING I LEARNED TONIGHT.

IS THAT? YES, NEXT TIME I'LL DO A POINT OF ORDER AND I'LL GET CLARITY ON VIDEO SO THAT THERE'S NO CONFUSION.

I'LL DO THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED, AND ARE YOU SORRY THAT YOU LEFT AND LEFT THE DISTRICT IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF YOUR [INAUDIBLE].

THERE WAS NO JEOPARDY, BY THE WAY.

I KNEW 100% AMY WAS COMING IN.

YOU GUYS HAD IT ALL SET UP AND SHE DID COME IN.

THIS IS THE NARRATIVE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CREATED.

JUST SO EVERYBODY IS AWARE, I KNEW THERE WAS 0% CHANCE THAT AMY WAS NOT COMING IN.

I'D JUST SEEN HER. I KNEW SHE COULD WAS DRIVING.

I ACTUALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS CLOSE.

SO I KNEW WITH ALL CERTAINTY THAT AMY WAS COMING, AND I KNEW THAT IF I JUST LEFT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING AND DIDN'T WAIT UNTIL THE BUDGET.

RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I THOUGHT SHE WAS COMING.

IF I JUST WENT AHEAD AND LEFT, I KNEW SHE COULD JUST COME.

YOU GUYS COULD DO YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU DON'T NEED ME ANYWAYS AND EVERYTHING WOULD MOVE ON AND MY FAMILY WOULD BE SAFE.

THAT WAS MY REASONING.

THAT WAS MY LOGIC.

MARY I WOULD JUST SAY, CORY, MARY HAS APOLOGIZED.

[04:25:03]

I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE WE CAN DO.

OKAY. SO THEN YOU GUYS BOTH APOLOGIZED.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

WE HAVE 20 SECONDS.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT DIDN'T REALLY SOUND LIKE AN APOLOGY TO ME.

THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT TO SAY BEFORE OUR TIME EXPIRES IS ONLY JUST TO CLARIFY.

TRUSTEE WESTON SAID THAT I MET [INAUDIBLE] FEBRUARY FOR NO REASON, AND THAT'S NOT TRUE.

TIME. IF ANYONE FEELS THAT THEY NEED MORE TIME, YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHER MOTION OR YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS MORE TIME, WE PUT AN INITIAL TIMEFRAME ON.

DR. BONE SAID THAT PERSONAL THINGS NEED ALL THE TIME NECESSARY TO RESOLVE.

SO IF ANYBODY NEEDS ANY MORE TIME, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTION.

WELL, I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION, BUT I'M WAITING FOR VALERIE.

SO IF YOU'LL GIVE ME JUST A SECOND.

ALL RIGHT, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE ROUND ROCK ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO CENSURE TRUSTEE MARY BONE.

SECOND. ANY COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR OF RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. ABSTAINING.

I DIDN'T GET A VOTE FROM YOU, DR.

JOHNSON. YOU HAVE TO RAISE YOUR HAND.

SORRY. I ABSTAIN.

MOTION FAILS. THREE, THREE, ONE.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THE RESOLUTION OF THE ROUND ROCK ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO CENSURE TRUSTEE DANIEL WESTON.

SECOND. ANY COMMENTS? ALL THE FAVOR. RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. ABSTAINING.

MOTION FAILS. THREE, THREE, ONE.

WE HAVE NO OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

IT IS 1:14 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
