[K. CLOSED SESSION (The Board reserves the right to enter into closed session on any agenda item as permitted by the Texas Open Meetings Act, Section 551.071 et seq.) (Part 1 of 2)]

WE ARE INTO ANY CLOSED SESSION LANGUAGE.

BY THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION HERE.

SOME ADVICE FROM OUR LAWYERS.

GET THAT QUESTION ANSWERED.

THEN WE'LL COME BACK INTO OPEN SESSION.

WE'LL ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT TRUSTEE BONE POSTED POSED ABOUT THE TAX FORM.

BUT I NEED TO HAVE TRUSTEES UNDERSTANDING THE LEGAL ADVICE MOVING FORWARD.

SO IT IS 659 AND I NEED LANGUAGE.

FOR I WAS SEVEN ONE.

I WOULD SAY YES, PURSUANT TO 551.071 TO CONSULT WITH ATTORNEYS ON AGENDA ITEM I ONE AND THEN.

SO, SO THAT. YES.

AND THAT IS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION K AND UNDER THE GOVERNMENT CODE, THE BOARD.

I'M SORRY TO RECEIVE LEGAL ADVICE.

YES. K UNDER K CLOSED SESSION, THE BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ENTER INTO CLOSED SESSION AT ANY AGENDA ITEM AS PERMITTED BY TEXAS OPEN MEETING, BECAUSE ON ITEM K, IT SAYS THE BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ENTER INTO CLOSED SESSION ON ANY AGENDA ITEM AS PERMITTED BY THE TEXAS OPEN MEETING ACT.

SO PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071, THE BOARD WILL DISCUSS WITH LEGAL TO DISCUSS AND DELIBERATE QUESTION POSED REGARDING I ONE AND SEEK LEGAL ADVICE PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE THAT COVER US.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW AT 7:00 WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.

WE'LL BE IN THIS ROOM. I'M GONNA ASK EVERYBODY TO LEAVE.

SHOULD BE A PRETTY SHORT CLOSED SESSION.

SO THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS OUR LEGAL ADVICE.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT? CAN WE JUST RETREAT BACK HERE SO THESE PEOPLE CAN KEEP THEIR SEATS? I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

Y'ALL OKAY WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO BACK INTO THE BACK FOR CLOSED SESSION.

Y'ALL CAN KEEP YOUR SEATS.

WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

[L. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS (Part 1 of 2)]

ALL RIGHT. IT IS 709.

WE ARE BACK IN OPEN SESSION.

[00:40:02]

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.

AND THANK YOU FOR CATCHING THAT.

TRUSTEE BONE. AND MR. COVINGTON'S GOING TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING.

AND YOU I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND SHOW THE ERROR ALSO UP ON THE SCREEN SO WE UNDERSTAND HOW THE ERROR OCCURRED.

AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS AS WELL.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THE POSTING THAT GOES IN THE PAPER IS A TEMPLATE THAT EACH DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FILLS OUT, AND THE SECTION THAT DOCTOR BONE HIGHLIGHTED, THERE IS A THE SECTION SAYS COMPARISONS OF BUDGET TO LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.

AND THERE'S ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS WHERE YOU PUT ANY INCREASES.

AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT ANY DECREASES.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FORM I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I HAVE A POINT OF ORDER.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT? SCREEN. SO THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID, THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT.

BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT A POINT OF ORDER.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING I CAN RULE ON.

BUT YES, THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON GETTING THESE DOCUMENTS UP.

WE HAVE TO EMAIL IT TO TECHNOLOGY AND THEN TECHNOLOGY WILL DISPLAY IT.

SO YES, WE WILL GET THEM PUT UP, BUT IT JUST TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

SO GO AHEAD.

SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CHOICE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE A CHOICE IF YOU'RE INCREASING OR DECREASING THE BUDGET ACCORDING TO MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION DEBT SERVICE OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES LIKE THE FORM.

WHEN IT'S BLANK IT HAS INCREASES ON THE LEFT, DECREASES ON THE RIGHT.

AND ONCE WE SENT IT IN, THAT'S HOW IT LOOKED.

WHEN WE SENT IT TO THE PAPER, THEY SENT IT BACK.

AND THE RIGHT HAND SIDE HAS ALSO BEEN CHANGED TO INCREASE.

SO IT'S A INCREASE ON THE LEFT AND INCREASE ON THE RIGHT.

NOW WHEN WE REVIEWED THE DOCUMENT BEFORE IT WAS PUBLISHED, WE DID CHECK THE NUMBERS, BUT WE DID NOT CHECK THE FORM.

SO THAT IS OUR FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING THE FORM, BUT THE DOCUMENT ITSELF SHOULD HAVE INCREASED ON THE RIGHT, DECREASE ON THE ON, INCREASE ON THE LEFT AND DECREASE ON THE RIGHT.

SO YOU CAN HAVE TO HAVE A CHOICE AS YOU'RE INCREASING THE BUDGET OR DECREASING THE BUDGET.

BOTH OF THEM CAN'T SAY INCREASE.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT WAS A FORMATTING ERROR WHEN IT GOT UPLOADED BY THE THE PAPER.

HOW? OKAY.

NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FORM ON HERE.

WHAT THIS IS THE FORM THAT WE SENT IN.

IS THIS CORRECT? YES. THIS IS THE FORM THAT WE SENT IN AND THE FORM THAT ACTUALLY GOT UPLOADED.

THE PAPER HAD TO FORMAT IT AND THEY CHANGED THE WORDS ON THE SECOND COLUMN FROM ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

AND JUST LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A FORM THAT EVERY DISTRICT IN THE STATE FILLS IN.

AND YOU, YOU YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE FORM.

SO I'M, I APOLOGIZE THAT WE DIDN'T CATCH THAT THE FORM WAS CHANGED.

IT'S A TEMPLATE. OKAY.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? TRUSTEE BONE.

YES. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS STATUTORILY REQUIRED BY THE STATE.

RIGHT. DOCTOR AZAIEZ THAT THIS FORM IS NECESSARY TO POST TEN DAYS PRIOR.

YEAH, YEAH, BUT IN THIS FORM TOO.

RIGHT. THIS IS WE USE THE FORM.

YES. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES.

YEAH. OKAY.

SO NOW WE'LL GO BACK ON TO IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES TRUSTEE BONE HAVE LEFT? 30S FOR QUESTIONS AND I DO NOT BELIEVE SHE'S USED ANY TIME FOR COMMENT.

OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE BONE. I BELIEVE THE OTHER ONE I HAVE IS OUTSTANDING.

THE OTHER QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE CALCULATIONS, AND IF YOU SEE ON MY CALCULATION, I USE A STANDARD $500,000.

HULL MOVING WITH 6% INCREASE FOR THE NEXT YEAR WITH THE $100,000 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

AND JUST DO THE MATH, IT COMES OUT THAT THAT WOULD BE AN INCREASE THE STATE, I MEAN, THE FORMS THAT I HAD USED, THEY USED $374,000 HOME COMPARED TO A $383,000 HOME.

AND THEY DONE THE SAME BASIC MATH, AND IT DID COME OUT WITH A DECREASE.

BUT IT'S JUST BASIC MATH.

AND THE TAX RATES ARE CORRECT 9190 DECREASE TO THE 8949 TOTAL TAX RATE.

NOT JUST NO TOTAL TAX RATE.

MAY I JUST ADD THIS FORM IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE ALSO BE PART OF LIKE THE TAX RATE ADOPTION OF TAX RATE THAT WE USUALLY TYPICALLY SCHOOL DISTRICT DO THIS TAX RATE ADOPTION IN SEPTEMBER. SO SOMETIMES LIKE IF THERE IS A CHANGE BECAUSE THIS IS AGAIN PRELIMINARY.

RIGHT. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MAXIMUM COMPRESSION.

RIGHT. THE FINAL ONE FROM TIA YET FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THE SO THE TAX RATE FROM NOW TO SEPTEMBER THERE'S A BIG CHANCE THAT IT MIGHT CHANGE.

SO OFTENTIMES LIKE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL HAVE TO REPOST THIS WITH MORE LIKE THE ACCURATE AND THE FILING NUMBERS AS WELL AS ALSO THE FINAL TAX RATE.

SO THIS WILL BE POSTED SOMETIME I'M, I'M ASSUMING SOMETIME IN AUGUST IN PREPARATION FOR US, OUR BOARD ADOPTING THE TAX RATE IN SEPTEMBER. SO THIS WILL BE POSTED WITH OBVIOUSLY FINAL AND ACCURATE NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING SHOULD WOULD LOOK THE WAY THE NUMBERS ARE ACCURATE.

[00:45:07]

JUST MAKING SURE THAT I'M SORRY THEY'RE ACCURATE.

YES BUT YES THE FINAL NUMBERS.

YES YES. THANK YOU.

THOSE WERE ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD AT THIS TIME.

OKAY. TRUSTEE HARRISON.

THANK YOU. MY ONLY QUESTION IS, DOES THIS PROHIBIT US FROM MOVING FORWARD AND VOTING ON THIS BUDGET? AND I GUESS THAT'S FOR LEGAL, MADAM.

ACTUALLY, LEGAL ADVICE WOULD NOT BE GIVEN IN OPEN SESSION, BUT ALL QUESTIONS ARE DIRECTED AT THE CHAIR.

YES. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT DOCTOR AZAIEZ OR MR. COVINGTON WOULD ANSWER BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE LEGAL ADVICE IN OPEN SESSION.

SO YES, WE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH ADOPTING THE BUDGET.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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

EVERYBODY'S HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE A STATEMENT EXCEPT FOR MYSELF.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WHILE THERE, I AM PLEASED THAT WE HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET.

I'M THRILLED BY THAT.

THERE'S SO MANY MORE THINGS THAT I WANT TO DO WITH THIS BUDGET.

OUR TEACHERS DESPERATELY NEED MORE MONEY.

THEY'RE UNDERPAID.

THERE'S SO MANY MORE THINGS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO.

GIVEN THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT THIS IS A VERY GOOD BUDGET MOVING FORWARD.

I'M HOPING THINGS CHANGE.

I'M HOPING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE MONEY TO SPREAD OUT AND THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SAVINGS THAT CAN BE FOUND ALONG THE WAY.

BUT HAVING SERVED ON THIS BOARD, THIS IS MY SIXTH BUDGET TO VOTE ON.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE HAD A BALANCED BUDGET IN A IN A WHILE.

AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF MR. COVINGTON AND YOUR STAFF THAT HAVE DONE THE WORK.

AND ACROSS THE DISTRICT, THE HARD DECISIONS THAT HAD TO BE MADE.

AND I JUST HOPE THAT OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF STICK WITH US WHILE WE GET THROUGH THIS NEXT YEAR.

WE ARE THE ONLY DISTRICT IN CENTRAL TEXAS PASSING A BALANCED BUDGET.

BUT IT'S NOT WITHOUT A LOT OF PAINS.

SO THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH US DURING THIS BUDGET SEASON.

AND WITH THAT, I CALL THE QUESTION.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES FIVE, TWO.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ALL OF THE BUDGETS.

ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 2.

ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO AGENDA ITEM G TWO OUR CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE REPORT.

[G. DISCUSSION ITEMS (Part 1 of 2)]

AND I'M GOING TO WELCOME TWO OF OUR COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, FABIAN CUERO AND LINDSEY.

OH MY GOSH, WHY AM I DRAWING A BLANK? LINDSEY LEDYARD OH MY GOSH, I COULD LOOK IN MY CONTACT SHERM, MY CONTACTS.

HOW DID I JUST BLANK ON YOUR LAST NAME? I APOLOGIZE, MISS LEDYARD.

WE'RE GOING TO INVITE OUR TWO CHAIRS FOR THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE.

TRUSTEES, WE ARE ONLY POSTED FOR A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR THIS.

THIS IS A LOT OF THE MATERIAL FROM THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE.

IT IS NOT A FINAL REPORT.

WE'RE GOING TO GET AN OVERVIEW FOR NOW.

WE ARE POSTED TO HEAR THEIR FINAL REPORT EITHER JULY 11TH OR JULY 18TH.

I'M STILL WORKING ON GETTING RSVP FROM TRUSTEES TO KNOW IF I HAVE A QUORUM.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS IN THIS PRESENTATION WITH A LOT MORE DEPTH.

SO TONIGHT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE TIME THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND IN DEPTH UNDERSTANDING.

IT'S MORE OF A STATUS UPDATE.

AND THEY WANTED TO BE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A LOT OF HOMEWORK WHILE THE DISTRICT IS CLOSED.

AND BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEES. DOCTOR AZAIEZ AND MEMBERS.

OH. OUR SLIDES COMING UP.

YEAH. WE'LL GET THE SLIDES BROUGHT UP FOR THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE REPORT.

THERE WE GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WANT TO TRY FOR A SECOND.

YEAH. SO.

OKAY. SIR.

SOMEBODY BACK THERE THAT CAN MAN THE SIDES.

IF WE SAY. NEXT SLIDE. OH.

IS IT? IF YOU JUST SAY NEXT SLIDE, THEY CAN ADVANCE IT OR YOU CAN USE THE IT'S WORKING NOW OKAY.

GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

AGAIN THANK YOU.

TRUSTEES AND DOCTOR AZAIEZ AND MEMBERS.

LINDSAY AND I ARE HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED THE LAST FEW MONTHS REGARDING THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WORKS AND WORK AND ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN DONE UP TO THIS POINT.

WE'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT SOME BOND PROPOSITIONS, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEES.

[00:50:08]

AND FINALLY, WE'RE GOING TO WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE TAX RATE AND THE BOND AMOUNT.

SO JUST TO REFRESH EVERYONE'S MEMORY HERE, THE TEAM'S BROKEN UP BY EACH SUBCOMMITTEE.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND HERE IS THAT WE TRY TO PROVIDE EACH LEARNING COMMUNITY A LEADER.

SO AS YOU SEE, SOME OF THE, THE MEMBERS HERE ARE PART OF THE EACH LEARNING COMMUNITY.

ALSO, WE DID HAVE DISTRICT SUPPORT.

SO EACH SUBCOMMITTEE WAS ASSIGNED A FEW PEOPLE FROM, FROM THE DISTRICT FOR US TO WORK WITH.

SO REGARDING WORK TODAY WE STARTED THE OUR TOTAL STARTED FROM THE HPM DEFERRED MAINTENANCE LIST OF ABOUT 1.2 BILLION.

WE WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT AND TAKE UNDER CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE DISTRICT NEEDS AND INCLUDED IN THAT.

AND THEN EACH SUBCOMMITTEE TOOK THAT LIST AND ADDRESSED SOME OF THOSE NEEDS.

HERE'S A BREAKOUT OF SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

SO YOU SEE THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS, HOW MANY MEETINGS FOR EACH SUBCOMMITTEE WHERE WE STARTED IT AT PROJECTS, THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS, AND THEN THE TOTAL CAMPUS VISITS.

THIS WAS TAKEN UNDER CONSIDERATION THAT WE LOOKED AT OR LISTENED TO THE COMMUNITY, THE THE PRINCIPALS.

WE ALSO KEPT IN MIND THAT WHAT THE WORK THAT WE WERE DOING WAS TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE STUDENTS.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE A GREAT THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO ALL THE MEMBERS WHO SPEND A LOT OF TIME, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH ALL THOSE ACTIVITIES GOING ON.

SO. THANK YOU.

OKAY. AND SO WITH THE BOND, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WAS WE HAD A LOT OF PROJECTS AND NOT ALL OF THEM WILL BE IN ONE BOND.

THERE ARE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE TECHNOLOGY SEPARATE OUT ON A SEPARATE BOND.

THE PROP LETTERS ARE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE.

WE JUST PUT THEM IN THERE FOR REFERENCING.

AND THEN ATHLETICS AND PERFORMING ARTS IS ALSO REQUIRED TO BE SEPARATED BASED ON THE CAPACITY OF THE FACILITY THAT'S BEING TOUCHED.

AND THEN THE OTHER PROPOSITION THAT IS BEING BROKEN OUT IS A PROPOSED DISTRICT WIDE CTE CENTER.

AND THEN THE GENERAL PROPOSITION A WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN IT.

SO IT WOULD HAVE CAPITAL RENEWAL PROJECTS.

IT WOULD HAVE ANY OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY ITEMS ANY CAMPUS EXPANSIONS OR EVEN SOME OF THE SMALLER NEW BUILD ITEMS AS WELL. SO THESE ARE THE SEPARATE PROPS.

WE'LL DIG INTO THOSE IN MORE DETAIL.

BUT THE TECHNOLOGY PROPOSITION RIGHT NOW, THE TOTAL IS RIGHT AROUND 149 MILLION.

AND THEN THE DISTRICT WIDE CTE CENTER FABIAN WILL TOUCH ON THIS ONE.

AND WHERE THAT PROPOSAL CAME FROM, FROM THE GROWTH COMMITTEE IS AT 123 MILLION.

YOU'LL NOTICE SOME CHANGES ON THE DISTRICT WIDE CTE CENTER.

THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE REPORT THAT YOU GUYS GOT ON FRIDAY.

WE JUST RECEIVED THE GUIDANCE ABOUT THAT BEING A SEPARATE PROPOSITION.

AND SO THAT'S PART OF WHY WE SENT THAT UPDATED DECK TO YOU GUYS TODAY.

BUT IT WAS WE HAD A PLACEHOLDER IN THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO NAIL DOWN KIND OF MORE OF AN EXACT COST AND SIZE.

SO THERE WAS JUST KIND OF A PLACEHOLDER AS WE WERE WORKING THROUGH AT ABOUT 200 MILLION AND IT'S NOW DROPPED TO 123,750,000.

AND THE LAST SEPARATE PROP WILL BE FOR THE CONVERSION OF DRAGON STADIUM TO A DISTRICT USE SPACE.

AND SO THAT BECAUSE THAT STADIUM DOES SEAT MORE THAN 1000 PEOPLE, IT WOULD NEED TO BE ITS OWN SEPARATE PROPOSITION FOR VOTERS TO BE ABLE TO VOTE ON. BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. SO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE WORK THAT THEY DID.

[00:55:03]

SO HERE YOU WILL SEE A BREAKOUT BY CATEGORY.

WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS BACK IN JUNE, EARLY JUNE VERSUS WHERE WE WERE AS OF LAST NIGHT, THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED THERE IS THE ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT WITHIN WITHIN THAT INFORMATION FOR WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THERE? CHROMEBOOKS FOR TEACHERS COMPUTERS FOR TEACHERS, IPADS LAB COMPUTERS, ETCETERA INTERACTIVE FLAT PANELS DOCUMENT CAMERAS AND SO FORTH.

SO ALL THE STUFF THAT ALL THE TECHNOLOGY NEEDS THAT THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING FOR UPDATING IT'S INCLUDED IN THE.

NOW REGARDING THE ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY THIS WAS ADDED WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS SO THAT IT ADDRESSES SOME OF THE NEEDS REGARDING REFRESH ON, ON CERTAIN ITEMS FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL. SO YOU SEE THERE THE SPIKE LOGO IS A REFRESH ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM THERE.

THE X REFRESH, WHICH IS A PROGRAM FOR, YOU KNOW, ROBOTICS FOR ALL FOR 11 MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND THEN THE SIX HIGH SCHOOLS ON, ON SOME MORE ROBOTIC EQUIPMENT.

AND THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 149.

263,161. ALL RIGHT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY GROWTH, WAS THE NEED FOR A DISTRICT WIDE CTE CENTER.

AND SO THERE WERE A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH ON THIS.

WE FINALLY SETTLED ON A CENTRALIZED SPACE.

THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, SOME TYPE OF CAREER BOOST EARLY IN THEIR LIVES.

RIGHT. SO THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR FOR A CENTER TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS, IN THIS BOND.

THIS WILL HELP AGAIN, ALL THE ALL THE STUDENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

AND IT ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON CERTAIN.

CAREER FROM THE CTE CENTER.

SO THE PROPOSED FOR THAT ONE IS 123.

MILLION 750,000.

THE LAST SEPARATE PROP AND WE WENT IN THIS ORDER, JUST SO YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE PROP A IS THE LARGEST.

SO THESE ONES ARE QUICK TO GET THROUGH, AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH ALL THE, THE MEAT OF PROP A THAT CATCHES EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO THIS IS FOR THE ATHLETIC STADIUM, SO I HAVE TO CLICK ON BOTH SIDES.

SO FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS HAS RECOMMENDED THAT DRAGON STADIUM BE REFURBISHED TO CONVERT THAT INTO A DISTRICT FACILITY.

THERE WAS SOME TALK ABOUT JUST DOING SOME CAPITAL RENEWAL AND SOME LIGHT WORK ON THAT SPACE.

BUT ULTIMATELY THE FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY OTHER NEW STADIUM.

THEY FELT THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO HAVE ANOTHER LARGER CAMPUS OR A LARGER STADIUM WITHIN OUR DISTRICT.

AND IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO OPPRESS BOX, WHICH NEEDED SOME CAPITAL RENEWAL THERE'S DIFFERENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.

YOU HAVE TO BRING EVERYTHING UP TO STANDARD.

AND SO ONCE YOU START TOUCHING ONE THING, IT KIND OF EXPANDS AND IT, IT MAKES SENSE TO THEN BRING THAT STADIUM INTO THE LEVEL OF EXPECTATION FOR A, A LARGE COMPETITION FIELD ON OUR, OUR CAMPUS.

IT WILL NOT BE IT'S NOT BEING PROPOSED TO TURN INTO KELLY REAVES.

IT'S IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT SAME SIZE, OBVIOUSLY.

BUT IT WILL IT'S PROPOSED TO REMOVE THE ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL BRANDING, HAVE IT BE A NEUTRAL PLAYING FIELD AND NOT BE SPECIFIC TO ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE.

AND YOU'LL HEAR LATER IN THE PRESENTATION PLANS FOR ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ALSO NOTED IS THAT BY HAVING THAT BE A CENTRALIZED DISTRICT STADIUM, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S APPROPRIATE PARKING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE COMING TO THOSE GAMES.

[01:00:02]

AND THE COST FOR THAT CAME FROM THE LONG RANGE FACILITY MASTER PLAN, AND WAS CONFIRMED AS STILL BEING A VALID NUMBER FROM HPM.

THAT REFURBISHMENT WILL BE $30 MILLION.

AND NOW WE'LL GO INTO PROP A, IT'S GOING TO BE WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH IT BASED ON SUBCOMMITTEE.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ENDED UP COMING FROM.

AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL BE PRESENTED IN THE REPORT TO YOU GUYS LATER ON AS WELL.

SO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE WERE AT $980 MILLION.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK DONE TO TO SCALE THAT BACK.

BUT ONE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE DROP IS THE MOVE OF THE CTE CENTER FROM PROP A TO ITS OWN SEPARATE PROPOSITION.

AND THEN CAPITAL RENEWAL HAS BEEN VERY, VERY DILIGENT IN LOOKING AT WHETHER THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ITEMS NEED TO BE DONE IN THIS BOND CYCLE OR IF THEY CAN WAIT.

AND THEN WE ALSO SAW A DECREASE, BECAUSE WE'RE ALSO LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTS THAT CAN FIT WITHIN A 4 TO 5 YEAR BOND CYCLE.

SO EVEN THOUGH THERE COULD BE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE AP1 PRIORITY, WE WANT EVERY ROOF IN THE DISTRICT TO BE REPLACED.

NOT ALL OF THEM CAN BE DONE IN THAT TIME PERIOD.

THERE'S A LIMITED TIME PERIOD THAT MAINTENANCE CAN GET IN THERE AND GET THE ROOFS OFF.

IT HAS TO BE DONE IN THE SUMMER.

SO YOU'RE LIMITED IN THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS YOU CAN COMPLETE.

FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

SO AS WE DIG INTO CAPITAL RENEWAL, THEIR LIST WAS THE LARGEST.

THEY STARTED WITH OVER $1 BILLION AND OVER 15, ALMOST 1600 PROJECTS.

AND THEN OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS THAT WERE NOT ON THE HPM DEFICIENCY LIST WERE BROUGHT TO THEM.

THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL PROJECTS, SUCH AS DIGITAL MARQUEES AT ALL CAMPUSES AND THE COMPLETION OF ADA PLAYGROUNDS.

THERE WERE A LOT THAT WERE DONE IN THE LAST BOND CYCLE, AND THERE WERE STILL SOME CAMPUSES THAT HAVEN'T HAD THOSE UPGRADES.

AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WE ALSO ASKED CAPITAL RENEWAL TO TAKE ON LOOKING AT ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL HOLISTICALLY.

SO THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT IT AS JUST CAPITAL RENEWAL, THERE'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND DISCUSSION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT A PHASE FOUR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS.

AND SO WE WORKED WITH HPM TO COME UP WITH A COST CALCULATOR OF, IF YOU TOUCH THIS BUILDING, WHAT DOES IT COST? IF YOU TOUCH THIS BUILDING, IF YOU KEEP IT AND JUST DO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, IF YOU WANT TO TEAR IT DOWN AND REBUILD IT, WHAT WOULD THAT COST? IF YOU WANT TO RENOVATE THE INSIDE, WHAT WOULD THAT COST? AND SO PUT THAT MODEL TOGETHER.

AND THEN WE ASKED CAPITAL RENEWAL TO TAKE ON LOOKING AT THAT HOLISTICALLY.

SINCE SO MANY, SO MANY OF THE PROJECTS CROSSED OVER BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND SO THAT WILL ALSO BE AN ITEM WE GO THROUGH WITHIN CAPITAL RENEWAL.

AND THEN THE INSIDE OF OUR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE, I WILL SAY WAS WAS REALLY GREAT.

THEY CAME UP WITH THESE IDEAS AT THE BOTTOM OF KIND OF HAVING FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH DISTRICT ISSUES AS THEY COME UP.

SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PORTABLES THAT ARE REALLY OLD.

SO CREATING A FUND TO BE ABLE TO REFURBISH OR REPAIR ANY OF THOSE PORTABLES.

SO IF WE WE KNOW WE AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET RID OF EVERY PORTABLE IN OUR DISTRICT.

BUT CAN SOME OF THEM BE CONVERTED TO WET PORTABLES IF NEEDED AND JUST MAKE IT A SAFER, PORTABLE EXPERIENCE, I GUESS.

AND THEN FURNITURE REPLACEMENT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S, IT'S HARD TO KNOW ON EVERY CAMPUS WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE.

BUT WE DID HEAR FEEDBACK FROM MANY PRINCIPALS THAT THEY HAD FURNITURE NEEDS ON THEIR CAMPUS.

AND SO CREATING A DISTRICT WIDE FURNITURE REPLACEMENT ALLOTMENT.

AND THEN THEY HAD THE INSIGHT TO LOOK AT ADA RELATED PROJECTS.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE A STUDENT MOVE FROM ONE CAMPUS TO ANOTHER THAT MAY NEED ADDITIONAL ADA ACCOMMODATIONS BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT POOL OF MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION, TO BE ABLE TO GO AND MAKE THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THOSE STUDENTS WAS IMPORTANT TO THIS COMMITTEE AND THEN DISTRICT WIDE PROGRAMMATIC EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED AS WELL.

AND THEN THERE WAS OTHER EQUIPMENT.

THIS INCLUDES THE RENEWAL OF PURCHASING NEW BUSSES ANY MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT, ASBESTOS ABATEMENT EQUIPMENT.

ONE ITEM THAT CAME UP WAS FULL KITCHEN GENERATORS.

SO IF WE LOSE POWER, WE ALSO LOSE FOOD AND THAT COSTS THE DISTRICT.

AND SO THERE WAS THE IDEA OF, OF PAYING FOR FULL KITCHEN GENERATORS FOR, FOR BOTH OF OUR CENTRAL KITCHENS.

AND THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN BY LOCATION TYPE.

[01:05:05]

SO YOU CAN SEE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TOWARDS OUR SCHOOLS.

AND THE DISTRICT WIDE PROJECTS DO TOUCH EVERY SCHOOL.

SO DISTRICT WIDE PROJECTS ARE THINGS LIKE WATER BOTTLE REFILL STATIONS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN THEIR PROPOSAL FOR ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS IS A BIG A BIG ITEM.

IT'S $129 MILLION.

THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT IS THAT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FOR ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

WOULD HAVE BEEN $72.3 MILLION.

SO THAT IS JUST KEEPING ALL OF THE OLD BUILDINGS THERE WAS THAT'S KEEPING ALL BUILDINGS AND RENOVATING JUST THE 400 LOCKER ROOMS. THAT WAS IF THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WAS DONE, IT WOULD BE $72.3 MILLION.

SO THE THOUGHT OF THIS COMMITTEE WAS TO DEMO BUILDINGS 100, 200, 300, AND 600.

AND THEN REBUILD IN THAT SPACE TO BE ABLE TO RIGHTSIZE THE SCHOOL, BRING IT TOGETHER TO WHERE IT'S NOT QUITE AS SPREAD OUT, RENOVATE THE 400 BUILDING LOCKER ROOMS. IT'S IT'S AN OLD.

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE LOCKER ROOM, BUT I'VE HEARD THAT IT IT NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT RECOMMENDATION IS COMING FROM.

AND THEN THERE STILL IS SOME ADDITIONAL DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FOR THE EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT WOULDN'T BE TORN DOWN.

AND THEN IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT BECAUSE WE'RE TOUCHING SO MANY BUILDINGS, OR THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO TOUCH SO MANY BUILDINGS THAT HAVE STUDENTS IN THEM.

IS TO CREATE SWING SPACE.

SO THAT'S WHERE THAT $10 MILLION IS.

SO WHETHER THAT'S TEMPORARY PORTABLES OR MODULAR BUILDINGS DURING CONSTRUCTION.

THERE WAS A PRIMARY CONCERN AROUND SCIENCE CLASSROOMS THAT WOULD BE UNAVAILABLE DURING THE RECONSTRUCTION.

SO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE WET PORTABLES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO THAT THAT IS WHERE THAT ADDITIONAL 10 MILLION CAME FROM.

AND THEN THERE WAS KIND OF A DISCUSSION BETWEEN CAPITAL RENEWAL AND FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE 100 BUILDING SPACE, BECAUSE THE IDEA IS THAT THIS WOULD ALL KIND OF COMPRESS THE CAMPUS TOGETHER, AND IT WOULD BE MORE SECURE FOR THE STUDENTS.

AND MAYBE YOU BUILD UP AND YOU YOU REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT OF THAT.

140,000FT². AND SO THERE WAS TALK ABOUT PUTTING WE WE COINED A TERM CALLED A MINI PAC.

IT WAS JUST OUR WAY OF DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN A PAC THAT'S LIKE AT STONY POINT OR CEDAR RIDGE VERSUS THE HARTFIELD PAC.

AND SO THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THAT SMALL TYPE AUDITORIUM SHOULD BE PLACED THERE.

THERE WAS NOT CONSENSUS.

AND SO ULTIMATELY THEY LANDED ON RECOMMENDING AS PART OF THAT MASTER PLAN.

WHAT THE BEST USE IS OF THAT SPACE.

AND WHETHER IT'S EVEN FEASIBLE TO DO A MINI PAC OR SOME OTHER ITEM THAT WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE DISTRICT.

IN THAT IN, IN THAT SPACE, ONCE IT'S TORN DOWN.

AND SO THE TOTAL FOR ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL CAME TO $129.5 MILLION.

OH, I'M NOT ON MY CLICKER.

SO THE EXISTING BUILDING THAT WAS THERE BEFORE ALL OF THE ADDITIONS WINGS A, B, C AND UPSTAIRS G WING.

AND SO THOSE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ITEMS, PLUS SOME REQUESTS THAT WERE COMING FROM FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS, IT MADE MORE SENSE.

AND YOU GAIN EFFICIENCIES WHEN YOU MASTER PLAN AND LOOK AT IT HOLISTICALLY VERSUS DOING A LA CARTE PRICING FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

AND SO THE, THE CONSENSUS BETWEEN THOSE COMMITTEES AND IT ENDED UP ON CAPITAL RENEWAL'S LIST WAS TO ALLOCATE 44 MILLION FOR REFURBISHING THOSE WINGS AND THEN POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME RECONFIGURING OF SPACES TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS WERE LOOKING FOR, PARTICULARLY AROUND FINE ARTS SPACES WHERE YOU MAY HAVE TO MOVE SOME WALLS AROUND AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN THEY ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 44 MILLION WAS DEDICATED TRULY FOR THE INTERIOR.

SO THE REMAINING ROOF AT MCNEIL NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED.

SO THAT'S A SEPARATE LINE ITEM OF 6 MILLION.

AND THEN LATER ON, YOU'LL HEAR FROM FABIAN ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT AND A PLACE WHERE THEY MAY BE MOVING.

AND SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY HOUSED AT THE MCNEIL CAMPUS.

AND IF THEY END UP MOVING OUT OF THAT SPACE, THAT SPACE WOULD NEED TO BE CONVERTED BACK TO STUDENT SPACE.

[01:10:08]

SO THAT'S WHERE THAT $3 MILLION COMES FROM.

SO THE GRAND TOTAL FOR CAPITAL RENEWAL COMES TO $553 MILLION.

I'LL PASS IT BACK TO FABIAN FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT OF SAFETY AND SECURITY.

ALL RIGHT. SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THE COMMITTEE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE HAD TO ADDRESS REGARDING HB THREE.

HOUSE BILL THREE, WHICH ADDRESSES THE SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS.

ALSO NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE TO REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS AS A DISTRICT WIDE.

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY CAMERAS.

I'M SORRY, GENERAL SAFETY FOR SECURITY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS AND SOME OF THESE ITEMS THAT THE COMMITTEE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE LOOKED AT WERE, YOU KNOW, GENERAL FROM THE HPM LIST.

AND IT DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL BECAUSE, WELL, IT DIDN'T IT DIDN'T CHANGE AS A PRIORITY.

BUT SOME OF THE COSTS CHANGED AS WE AS THE SUBCOMMITTEE WENT IN AND, AND KIND OF TOOK A LOOK AT SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME.

SO WE STARTED OUT WITH 142 MILLION, AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE COST BACK DOWN TO 62 MILLION ON FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AND SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT IT ADDRESSES.

SO WE HAVE POLICE VEHICLES.

HB THREE, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE.

POLICE VEHICLES, RADIOS, DISPATCH CONSOLES, EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE HIRE COMPUTERS.

FROM A TO PHYSICAL FENCES AROUND THE CAMPUS, MEANING THAT SOME CAMPUS IS OPEN TO TO THE PUBLIC.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESS THAT FOR SECURITY.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS SILENT ALARM SYSTEMS, INTERIOR DOOR HARDWARE.

SO THERE ARE SOME OF THE HARDWARE WITHIN SOME OF THE SCHOOLS NEED TO BE UPGRADED.

AND SO THAT'S PART OF THAT FROM A TRANSPORTATION SAFETY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING SMART TECH TABLETS ON BUSSES AND ADDING SECURITY CAMERA AS WELL.

FROM A GENERAL SAFETY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS.

CAMPUS RADIOS USED BY STAFF.

SECURITY CAMERA STORAGE AND SERVERS AND PA SYSTEMS AS WELL.

AND THEN GENERAL DEFICIENCIES FROM THE LIST.

AND INCLUDED SECURITY SYSTEMS, PA SYSTEMS AND FIRE ALARM, ETC..

SO WITH THAT SAID, THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY IS 62 MILLION.

AN APPEALING. ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S GO TO GROWTH.

ALL RIGHT, SO THE SUBCOMMITTEE DECIDED TO SPLIT GROWTH INTO ELEMENTARY AND THEN SECONDARY SECONDARY, INCLUDING MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS. WHEN WE STARTED WE HAD FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS, WE WERE LOOKING AT 89 MILLION. WE DIDN'T HAVE A NUMBER FOR ELEMENTARY YET.

WHEN WE STARTED. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GATHER THAT INFORMATION AS WE MOVED ALONG.

AND THEN THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COST WAS BROUGHT TO US BY ADMINISTRATION.

AND WE HOPEFULLY THEY'LL SPEAK TO THAT IN A MINUTE.

SO AS LINDSAY MENTIONED EARLIER THERE'S A FACILITY ON 1602 GRIMES. THAT WAS PURCHASED.

AND IT COULD BE USED FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS, INCLUDING, AS LINDSAY MENTIONED, FOR MAINTENANCE.

BUT ALSO THE COMMITTEE WAS LOOKING AT USING THAT FOR SEVERAL THINGS, DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW, THE NEED.

RIGHT. SO TO BUILD SOMETHING OUT THERE.

IT WAS GOING TO COST 7 MILLION.

7 MILLION? FROM FROM MY INITIAL CONVERSATION.

[01:15:03]

CONVERSATION? THE COMMITTEE ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT THE PARK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WORKSHOP REMODEL FOR CTE SPACE WHERE THEY NEED TO DROP LINES AT.

A NETWORK AND COMPUTERS AND STATIONS AND ALL THAT STUFF FOR, FOR CTE SPACE.

STONY POINT ROTC MODULAR BUILDING, THIS BUILDING.

AS YOU KNOW, I THINK A FEW.

I THINK IT WAS LAST MONTH.

I BELIEVE SO IT'S LAST MONTH.

STONY POINT ROTC WAS RECOGNIZED.

SO THEY HAVE A REALLY NICE PROGRAM THERE.

SO THEY ARE LOOKING TO ADD A MODULAR.

THEY CALL IT. YEAH, A MODULAR BUILDING.

A THREE, A THREE WIDE.

THEY CALL IT THREE WIDE. SO YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT WAS IT SOUNDS KIND OF STRANGE, BUT THAT WAS A VERY SPECIFIC REQUEST FROM THE ROTC PROGRAM THERE. IT'S A TRIPLE WIDE MODULAR BUILDING THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BE USED IN PARTICULAR FOR THEIR SHARPSHOOTING PROGRAMS. THAT'S VERY IT'S A VERY STRONG PROGRAM THERE.

YEAH. SO OUR UNDERSTANDING IS RIGHT NOW THEY'RE THEY'RE SHOOTING RANGES REALLY CLOSE.

SO THEY WANT TO INCREASE THEIR ACCURACY.

DEER PARK MIDDLE SCHOOL 12 CLASSROOM ADDITION AND THEN ADDING A WEST WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL FLEX SPACE FOR FOR ROBOTICS.

SURE. SORRY.

I ALSO WANTED TO JUST MENTION ON THE GRIMES BUILD OUT.

HE MENTIONED MAINTENANCE.

THE. THERE'S KIND OF A PLAN FOR THAT SPACE THAT IT'S 51,000FT² OUT THERE.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF USABLE SPACE WITHIN THAT BUILDING.

AND SO THE THOUGHT OF THAT SPACE THAT GROWTH HAD WAS TO HAVE A PORTION OF IT BE ROBOTICS SPACE THAT WOULD HAVE FULL SIZE FIELDS WHERE THEY COULD TAKE THEIR ROBOTS THERE, BE ABLE TO PRACTICE WHAT IT'S LIKE GOING TO COMPETITION.

IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT AN ARENA.

IT'S NOT A COMPETITION ARENA WHERE PEOPLE WOULD COME IN, BUT IT'S A SPACE WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REALLY BE ABLE TO TEST THEIR WORK IN, IN A, IN A LIVE SETTING. AND THEN ANOTHER PORTION OF THAT BUILDING IT WILL CROSS OVER INTO FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS IS TO HAVE A PORTION OF THAT BUILDING USED FOR PERFORMANCE, NOT NECESSARILY A PERFORMANCE SPACE, BUT A PRACTICE SPACE FOR FINE ARTS.

THAT CAN BE A FLEXIBLE USE SPACE AND BOOKED OUT BY DIFFERENT GROUPS WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

AND THEN ALSO A PORTION OF THAT BUILDING COULD POTENTIALLY BE USED FOR THE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OTHER OPTIONS FOR THAT AS WELL.

BUT THAT THAT IS WHAT THE INITIAL IDEA WAS FOR THAT 51,000.

THEY THERE IS A, A DRAWING, A SCHEMATIC, IF YOU WILL, ABOUT HOW THAT COULD BE DONE SUCCESSFULLY.

AND THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT WOULD ALSO HAVE KIND OF A QUARTER A CORNER OF THAT.

THEY ALREADY HAVE. THAT BUILDING IS ALREADY BUILT WITH ALL OF THE UP DOWN WHAT ARE THE GARAGE DOOR TYPE THINGS? TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW OTHER EQUIPMENT TO COME IN AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE A.W.

GRIMES BUILD OUT.

ALL RIGHT. SO AND WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE ELEMENTARY LINE ITEMS, THE SUBCOMMITTEE WANTED TO FOCUS ON SOME OF THE OLDER OLDER CAMPUSES.

SO WANTED TO DO A REFRESH FOR THE PORTABLES TO MAKE THEM A WEB PORTABLE GREAT.

OAKS FOR BERKMAN GREAT OAKS ELEMENTARY AND A CLASSROOM EXPANSION AND AND THE THREE CLASSROOM EXPANSION FOR PURPLE SAGE.

THE OTHER LINE ITEM THAT WE HAVE IS THE CONSTRUCTION COST FOR EARLY COLLEGE.

HIGH SCHOOL. YES, MR. COVINGTON. WOULD YOU LIKE TO? YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT ONE? THE X. IF YOU ALL RECALL, WHEN WE MET WITH ACC, THE TOTAL BUILD OUT FOR THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL, WE WERE $6 MILLION SHORT OF THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST.

THIS $6 WILL ALLOW US TO FINISH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL.

THE MEETING WITH ACC WAS THAT IF WE DID NOT SECURE THE FUNDING, THAT THEY WOULD SUPPLEMENT OUR FUNDING AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO PAY THEM BACK.

BUT IF THIS PASSES, WE WILL HAVE A PAYBACK BACK TO ACC.

THANK YOU. HE CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN WE CAN.

[01:20:05]

ALL RIGHT. SO THERE WERE SOME P2 AND P3 ITEMS FROM THE GROWTH COMMITTEE THAT THEY WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.

IN PARTICULAR THE HERNANDEZ MIDDLE SCHOOL WOODSHOP CONVERSION SIMILAR TO DEER PARK. THEY DO HAVE THE SPACE BUT THEY NEED TO CONVERT IT TO THEY WANT TO CONVERT IT TO A, TO CTE KIND OF KIND OF ENVIRONMENT. CEDAR VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE FINE ARTS CLASSROOM EXPANSION STONY POINT THIS ONE ONE SUBCOMMITTEE, THE GROWTH HAD IT IT'S A P2.

BUT WHEN FINE ARTS WAS LOOKING AT IT, THEY HAD LISTED AS A P1.

SO THIS WAS NOT ALL THE WAY A CONSENSUS.

BUT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S, IT'S A P3 HERE THAT SOME OF THE COMMITTEE COMMUNITY MEMBERS FELT THAT DOING A DANCE CLASSROOM ADDITION AT STONY POINT WAS IMPORTANT AND FOR CEDAR RIDGE, THE 12 CLASSROOM EXPANSION TO GET RID OF SOME OF THOSE PORTABLES, AS YOU REMEMBER.

PRETTY MUCH AS SOON AS CEDAR RIDGE WAS BUILT THEY BEGAN ADDING PORTABLES.

SO THIS WOULD ADD A WING WHERE THEY COULD ALLEVIATE THAT THAT BURDEN.

AND FOR ELEMENTARY HERE THE THE P2P3 ITEMS FOR US NORTH ELEMENTARY WALKWAY ENCLOSURE MEANING HAVE A FULLY ENCLOSED WALKWAY BETWEEN CERTAIN AREAS IN THE IN THE SCHOOL.

OLD TOWN ELEMENTARY.

SAME KIND OF LIKE THE SAME THING PALM SPRINGS, PALM SPRINGS ELEMENTARY REMOVAL PORTABLES.

AND THEN FINALLY SPICEWOOD ELEMENTARY COVER WALKWAY AS WELL.

SO THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL FOR.

GROWTH AT 56.6 MILLION.

NEXT. NEXT IS FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

SORRY. THERE'S A LOT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS.

THIS WAS A COMMITTEE THAT YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT GROUPS OF OF PEOPLE THAT ARE PART OF THIS COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

RIGHT? DIFFERENT FOCUSES, DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.

BUT ULTIMATELY WHERE THEY LANDED, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY EVEN BETWEEN FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS ON WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE.

SO WANTED TO TO PROVIDE THAT BREAKDOWN.

THESE ARE ITEMS OF NOTE SPECIFICALLY FROM THAT COMMITTEE.

SO AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THEY'RE RECOMMENDING TO HAVE DRAGON STADIUM BE UPDATED AND RENOVATED TO BE BRANDED AS A DISTRICT STADIUM AND WILL BE A SEPARATE BOND REQUEST.

AND THEY ARE NOT RECOMMENDING A NEW FOOTBALL STADIUM.

THEY ARE RECOMMENDING TO HAVE ALL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS AND ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPETITION FIELDS CONVERTED TO TURF.

THAT COST IS $28 MILLION.

ON A ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I WILL SAY THAT I, I WENT INTO THAT SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING TO LISTEN IN ON THE CONVERSATION, AND I WENT IN THERE THINKING, I AM NOT GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF TURF.

AND THEN I WALKED OUT OF THERE, REALIZING THAT THEY HAD SOME REALLY GOOD POINTS ABOUT WHY TURF WOULD BE BENEFICIAL, PRIMARILY THE COST OF MAINTENANCE AND THE DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING OUR FIELDS ACROSS THE DISTRICT FROM A STAFFING PERSPECTIVE.

AND JUST FROM A DROUGHT PERSPECTIVE.

BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IN DETAIL ABOUT THAT.

BUT I, I WAS A CRITIC THAT BECAME SOMEBODY THAT I CAN GET ON BOARD WITH IT.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE IS NOT RECOMMENDING ANY NEW PACKS IN THIS BOND.

ONE ITEM WAS WESTWOOD.

WE'VE HEARD A LONG TIME ABOUT HOW THEY NEED LOCKER ROOMS AT THEIR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL FIELDS.

THOSE FIELDS, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT CAMPUS, ARE QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE BUILDING.

AND SO INITIALLY WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A BRICK AND MORTAR CONSTRUCTION.

WHEN WE TALKED WITH HPM AND MELANIE IT WAS IT MAYBE COULD BE DONE.

IT WASN'T 100% SURE WHETHER IT COULD BE, BUT IT WAS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE.

THERE'S A LOT OF SITE CONSTRAINTS ON THAT SITE.

[01:25:01]

AND THEN WE WENT BACK TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE, AND WE TALKED MORE WITH THE COMMUNITY LEADERS OVER THERE.

AND THE THE FEEDBACK WAS WE DIDN'T EXPECT A BRICK AND MORTAR CONSTRUCTION.

WE JUST NEED YOU KNOW, A NICE A PORTABLE OUT THERE, LIKE A PORTABLE TYPE OF LOCKER ROOM THAT KIDS CAN CHANGE IN, THEY CAN TAKE COVER FROM IF THERE'S HAIL OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO THAT ENDED UP MAKING IT A MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE PROJECT.

AND THEN MCNEIL HIGH SCHOOL, THERE WERE QUITE A FEW ITEMS THAT WERE DEPENDENT ON THE LARGER CAPITAL RENEWAL PHASE THREE.

SO THOSE PRIORITIES WILL STILL BE INCLUDED.

THINGS LIKE THE FINE ARTS REFRESH.

BUT THOSE WILL BE GIVEN IN THE REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE TO US.

BUT THE OVERALL COST WILL BE INCLUDED IN THAT 44 MILLION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.

AND THEN THERE WAS A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR COACHING, OFFICE EXPANSIONS AND RENOVATIONS.

THE COACHES ALL WANT REALLY NICE SPACE THAT THEY CAN MEET WITH THEIR PLAYERS.

BUT ULTIMATELY THE SUBCOMMITTEE PLACED IT AT A LOWER PRIORITY WHEN COMPARED TO ALL OF THE OTHER NEEDS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

AND THEN CD FOLKS AUDITORIUM.

THAT'S BEEN AN ITEM THAT, YOU KNOW, AFTER CD FOLKS WAS COMPLETED, THEY KIND OF JUST BOARDED IT UP AND WE SAID, WELL, WE'LL TOUCH IT LATER.

AND SO IT'S NOW BEEN DESIGNATED A HISTORICAL BUILDING.

AND SO TO HAVE IT BE, THERE WAS DEBATE ON WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD BE USED AS AN AUDITORIUM.

THAT COMMITTEE MET WITH DISTRICT STAFF.

AND I THINK THE, THE FINAL ROUTE THAT THEY'VE LANDED ON IS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BUILT OUT AS A DISTRICT MEETING SPACE OR USE AS A CAMPUS SPACE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY AS AN AUDITORIUM.

THERE WILL BE CONSTRAINTS AROUND THAT, SINCE IT NOW DOES HAVE A HISTORICAL DESIGNATION ON WHAT EXACTLY THEY CAN DO, BUT THEY DO WANT TO SEE THAT LISTED AS A PE ONE ITEM TO BE ADDRESSED IN THIS BOND CYCLE.

AND WE WOULD ALSO BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T POINT OUT THAT CANYON VISTA.

THERE WERE MANY P ONE ITEMS TO ADDRESS FROM A FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

THEY HAVE THE UNFORTUNATE REALITY OF BEING BUILT ON A CLIFF, AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF SITE CONSTRAINTS.

AND WHILE THEY HAVE A LARGE POPULATION OF STUDENTS AND THEY REALLY COULD USE THINGS LIKE AN AUXILIARY GYM OR THE EXPANSION OF THEIR WEIGHT ROOM, THAT'S REALLY SMALL.

AFTER EVALUATION BY HPM AND DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE OF THOSE SITE CONSTRAINTS AND THEN RULES IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN THERE'S NOT THE ABILITY TO EXPAND THAT CAMPUS.

THERE ARE STILL CAPITAL RENEWAL ITEMS THAT ARE GOING THERE AND SOME OTHER PROJECTS, BUT SOME OF THOSE BIG WANTS FROM THAT COMMUNITY, UNFORTUNATELY, WE JUST CAN'T ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THAT CAMPUS.

AND THEN STONY POINT AND CEDAR RIDGE.

I KNOW FABIAN TOUCHED ON IT.

FROM THE GROWTH PERSPECTIVE, THERE IS THE CROSSOVER BETWEEN FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS FOR THE DANCE SPACE.

AND THE RECOMMENDATION THAT GROWTH ALSO HAD FOR THAT.

AND SO AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL ITEM AT WESTWOOD AND THE RECENT WESTWOOD PROJECT, THERE WAS THE BUILD OUT OF NICE CERAMIC STUDIOS THAT ARE WELL UTILIZED AND ARE VERY POPULAR IN PROGRAMING.

AND SO FINE ARTS WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THOSE EXPANDED TO CEDAR RIDGE AND STONY POINT.

HOWEVER, THAT INVOLVES MOVING WALLS OR THE FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN PRICING.

WELL, IF YOU JUST ADD ON THIS A LA CARTE PROJECT IT WOULD BE THIS MUCH.

AND SO REALLY, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SQUARE FOOTAGE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RECONFIGURATION.

AND THEN WITHIN THE NEEDS, WE SAW THAT CEDAR RIDGE HAS THIS P3 ITEM ABOUT POTENTIALLY ADDING ON.

AND SO NOW THAT WE HAVE BETTER ESTIMATES, FABIAN AND I WILL BE LOOKING AT THOSE PROJECTS MORE HOLISTICALLY, SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS DONE WITH MCNEIL.

IN ORDER TO GAIN EFFICIENCIES AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT A LITTLE BIT MORE HOLISTICALLY.

SO IT'S NOT THE END FOR STONY POINT IN CEDAR RIDGE.

SO ANTICIPATE AN UPDATE ON THOSE FOR SURE WITH THE FINAL REPORT.

AND WITH THAT, ALL OF THE P1 ITEMS FOR FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS HAVE LANDED AT $138.2 MILLION.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM THAT THAT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED IS, IS GOOD TO INCLUDE IN THE BOND IS THE ACTUAL BOND MANAGEMENT COST.

SO IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THE USE OF NO DOLLARS FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE PROGRAM YOU CAN HAVE THAT ROLLED INTO THE OVERALL BOND

[01:30:01]

PACKAGE. AND SO THE TOTAL RECOMMENDED AMOUNT IS 20, EXCUSE ME, 20.5 MILLION.

AND THAT I BELIEVE, WILL BE USED TO EITHER HIRE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THAT PROGRAM.

DENNIS CAN PROBABLY SPEAK TO IT AS WELL.

AND TO HELP WITH ANY OF THE CONTRACTORS AND THE CONSULTANTS THAT WE MAY NEED TO HAVE TO HELP WITH MANAGING THAT PROGRAM.

SO WITH ALL OF THAT ALL OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES, WE END UP AT $830,000,830.5 MILLION FOR PROPOSITION A.

AND THE TOTAL OF ALL BOND PROPOSITIONS IS AT $1.13 BILLION.

AND SO WE DID WANT TO BRING THIS SLIDE THAT WAS SHARED WITH THE CBC AT THE VERY BEGINNING.

THE YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS IS WHAT OUR INS TAX RATE IS AT.

WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 0.1980.

AND THAT PUTS THE TWO LINES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW THAT OUR DISTRICT'S DEBT CAPACITY WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE ON AND AFFORD BETWEEN 1 BILLION AND $1.25 BILLION IN A BOND WITHOUT HAVING TO INCREASE THE TAX RATE.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN 2036, WHERE YOU SEE HOW MUCH THE RATE WOULD BE ABLE TO DROP, IT CAN DROP SLIGHTLY LOWER AT 1 BILLION, OR IT'S SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT 0.166 AT 1.25 BILLION.

SO LOOKING AT THAT, I'LL GO BACK HERE.

THIS NUMBER, WHILE THERE ARE A LOT OF DIGITS IN THERE, IS BETWEEN 1 AND $1.25 BILLION.

AND THE CONSENSUS AMONG COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP, NOT JUST FABIAN AND I, BUT THE SUBCOMMITTEE LEADERS, WAS THAT THE DISTRICT SHOULD GO OUT FOR A BOND THAT WOULD NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE INS TAX RATE TO STAY FLAT.

AND SO BASED ON THAT THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE, THIS PUTS THE MAXIMUM TOTAL, TOTAL ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT TO THE COMMITTEE BETWEEN 1 AND 1.25 BILLION.

I WILL SAY THAT THE COMMITTEE WORKED REALLY, REALLY HARD TO TRY TO WHITTLE DOWN THESE PROJECT LISTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

ESPECIALLY WITHIN CAPITAL RENEWAL.

IT WAS IT WAS A HARD TASK.

AND SO IT WAS NOT LANDING AT THIS NUMBER HAS BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE ITERATIONS AND WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I THINK ANY OF US WAS REALLY HOPING TO END UP AT THAT MUCH, BUT IT'S WHERE IT'S WHERE WE HAVE LANDED.

SO WITH THAT, WE WILL HAVE SOME NEXT STEPS.

THANK YOU. LINDSAY. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW IS WE ARE CONTACTING ALL OUR SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRS TO PROVIDE US THEIR FINAL REPORT SO THAT WE CAN START WORKING ON OURS AND THEN AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THAT INFORMATION BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, JUNE 28TH.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL PRESENT ONCE WE COME BACK FROM THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY.

SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OF JULY, WE COME BACK AND PRESENT TO YOU GUYS.

SO QUESTIONS.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL.

NO. NO.

FIRST, A BIG THANK YOU.

I KNOW THAT THIS WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING.

NOT BY JUST BY THE TWO OF YOU, BUT YOUR COMMITTEE.

AND THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT YOU GUYS PUT INTO THOUGHTFULLY AND THOROUGHLY EXAMINING THE PROJECTS AND THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT.

I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AGAIN, TRUSTEES, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL REPORT.

THIS IS MORE OF A STATUS UPDATE.

FOR US TO START THINKING MY THOUGHT BEFORE I OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS.

MY THOUGHTS ON HOW WE PROCEED IS BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE RECEIVE A FINAL REPORT ON JUNE 28TH.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BASED ON THIS STATUS UPDATE REPORT, GET THOSE INTO ADMINISTRATION AND ADMINISTRATION.

CAN WORK WITH LINDSEY AND FABIAN TO SEE IF WE CAN INCLUDE THOSE QUESTIONS INTO THE FINAL REPORT.

AND THEN WHEN WE RECEIVE THE FINAL REPORT, I AM STILL WORKING ON QUORUM.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A AN HOURS AND HOURS LONG MEETING TO GO THROUGH THESE PROJECTS AND REALLY UNDERSTAND THEM.

I MEAN, I ALREADY HAVE PAGES AND PAGES OF QUESTIONS JUST BASED ON WHAT WE'VE SEEN RIGHT NOW, SO I'M NOT EXPECTING TO GET THEM ANSWERED YET.

AND TONIGHT, THAT'S NOT THE GOAL OF THIS.

BUT AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

AND FIRST IS TRUSTEE HARRISON.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION SO MUCH AS JUST A DEEP EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE.

I KNOW WE'RE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND YOU ALL FIT SO MUCH, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

[01:35:04]

AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CBC OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

AND THANK YOU TO YOU TOO.

I, I DO HAVE A TON OF QUESTIONS, AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT TIME WHEN WE CAN WORKSHOP THIS TOGETHER.

AND IT DOES FEEL AND SEEM LIKE I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PICK, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING, THERE'S SOLIDARITY IN MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING SURE THAT THESE ARE ALL OUR STUDENTS, NOT ONE SIDE OF THE DISTRICT VERSUS ANOTHER SIDE.

SO I WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE ON THAT TRAJECTORY.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEE WEIR.

I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY ASKED, ANSWERED MY OH GO AHEAD.

SORRY. HOLD ON.

LET. FABIAN WANTS TO RESPOND, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

SO THIS YOUNG LADY SITTING NEXT TO ME HAS BEEN AMAZING.

SHE HAS BEEN STAYING UP LATE LOOKING AT NUMBERS.

I, YOU KNOW BEING IN MEETINGS, ATTENDING JUST ABOUT EVERY CONVERSATION.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THERE WAS A DEFINITION OF SUPERWOMAN, THIS, THIS YOUNG LADY WILL WILL FIT THAT BILL.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

SAID FROM A VERY HUMBLE MAN WHO HAS PUT IN A LOT OF WORK AS WELL.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEE WEIR I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN FOLLOW THAT UP.

AND ACTUALLY, YOU YOU KIND OF ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I OR WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK BECAUSE MY QUESTION ACTUALLY WAS TO YOU AND SORT OF WHAT THE PROCESS WAS GOING TO BE, BECAUSE I DO HAVE QUITE A FEW QUESTIONS AND HOW THEY RELATE EVEN TO SOME OF THE PREVIOUS BOND.

2018 BOND PROJECTS.

AND SO, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO TURN THAT IN AND THEN.

I'LL SAVE THEM.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU'LL JUST COMPILE THEM AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL JUST WORKSHOP FORMAT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A REALLY INFORMAL CONVERSATION ABOUT EACH OF THESE SUBGROUPS AND COMMITTEES AND QUESTIONS AND PROJECTS AND MORE INFORMATION THAT'S NEEDED.

SO WE ARE GOING TO DIVE DEEP IN IT, BUT IT WILL BE JUST AFTER THE, THE DISTRICT BREAK.

TRUSTEE ACTUALLY JUST ACTUALLY ONE JUST SO WHEN WE GET THIS ON AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT MORE WORK ON, NO MATTER HOW AMAZING LINDSEY IS, I DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO MUCH WORK ON THE TWO OF YOU, BUT I GUESS I'M JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH DETAIL WE'RE GOING TO GET.

LIKE, BEFORE WE DO OUR.

YOU WILL GET ALL OF THE DETAIL.

WE WE'VE CREATED A TEMPLATE THAT EACH SUBCOMMITTEE IS FILLING OUT THAT HAS EVERY PROJECT DELINEATED, EVERY CAMPUS THAT'S TOUCHED THE NUMBER.

THERE'S A IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SPREADSHEET.

BUT IT WILL ALL BE CONSOLIDATED AND IT WILL BE SUMMARIZED IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS FOR YOU GUYS.

BUT YOU WILL HAVE THE DETAILED PROJECT LIST WHEN YOU GET THAT REPORT AS WELL, THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COMB THROUGH.

AND I WORK WITH LINDSEY AND FABIAN TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW WE'RE GOING TO POST IT SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, COVERING ALL THE DETAILS AS WELL.

THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT THING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IN OUR TAXPAYERS AS WELL.

SO DEFINITELY, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERING ALL OF IT.

TRUSTEE MARKUM. THANK YOU.

MINE'S A PROCESS QUESTION AS WELL, AND I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHO IT GOES TO, BUT PROBABLY YOU GUYS.

SO AS PART OF THAT ACTUALLY ALL QUESTIONS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CHAIR.

SO AS AS PART OF THE SPREADSHEET THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET WITH ALL OF THE DETAILED INFORMATION.

WELL, WE ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE RESPONSES TO THOSE SURVEYS TO THE PRINCIPALS AND DISTRICT STAFF AND EVERYONE THAT THAT FILLED THOSE OUT.

SO I WOULD SAY THAT YOU WOULD JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S A PART OF THE REQUEST THAT WE GET THAT AS PART OF OUR I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE REQUEST AS WELL.

OKAY. YEAH.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING IS ANY INFORMATION THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEES WORKED ON, IT WILL YOU WILL HAVE LINKS TO IT. SO YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, QUICKLY CLICK ON IT AND ACCESS IT.

GREAT. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE WESTON.

SO I TOO HAVE SEVERAL PAGES OF QUESTIONS.

IT SOUNDS TO ME, MADAM CHAIR, LIKE TONIGHT IS NOT THE NIGHT TO WORK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE, BUT MAYBE JUST HIGH LEVEL GENERAL QUESTIONS.

YEAH, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TIME TO LIKE, DIVE DEEP INTO EACH ONE OF THESE PROJECTS LATER.

WILL WE BE LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES IN THAT FORMAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT $1 BILLION? AGAIN, I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT EXACTLY HOW WE'RE GOING TO POST IT, BUT PERHAPS TWO MINUTES TO EACH PROJECT.

IF WE GET ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS IN AHEAD OF TIME.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I'VE NOT EVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

I DON'T WANT TO.

I DON'T WANT TO, LIKE, GLOSS OVER IT.

IT REQUIRES A LOT OF INFORMATION.

AND I THINK THE MORE QUESTIONS THAT WE GET ASKED AHEAD OF TIME, THE LESS TIME THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND IT IN A BUSINESS MEETING, GOING OVER ALL OF IT.

SO WE'D ALL HAVE THE ANSWERS AHEAD OF TIME.

SO I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS MOVING FORWARD ON HOW THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE POSTED.

BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TOUCHING EACH ONE OF THESE PROJECTS AND NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, RUBBER STAMPING A $20 MILLION, YOU KNOW, ITEM.

WELL, I'M HAPPY TO TYPE OUT MY QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO THAT.

YOU WANT THOSE DIRECTED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT? YEAH. ALL QUESTIONS GO THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION AND THEN HE WILL GET WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE.

[01:40:01]

I MEAN, MY COLLEAGUES MIGHT COME UP WITH QUESTIONS THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF.

WELL, WELL WE ALL HAVE VISIBILITY OF ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS.

YES. OKAY.

I WOULD ASK THAT I WOULD HAVE LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES WHEN WE GET TO THIS WORKSHOP TO TALK ABOUT $1 BILLION.

THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE, ARE YOU GUYS PLANNING ON OR DOCTOR AZAIEZ? IS THERE GOING TO BE SOME EXPLANATION? ALL QUESTIONS GO THROUGH THE CHAIR.

OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, IS THERE GOING TO BE SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION TO EXPLAIN THE TAX RATE SITUATION.

AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AND ASK ASK ABOUT THAT.

YEAH. I THINK MR. COVINGTON, YOU'LL BE PREPARED TO HELP US UNDERSTAND THAT GRAPH.

AND I HAD A COUPLE OF.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THE OTHER THING IS ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO DOCTOR AZAIEZ OR MADAM CHAIR, IF YOU COULD DIRECT IT TO DOCTOR AZAIEZ OR WHOEVER YOU DEEM APPROPRIATE.

HIS LEGAL STAFF ASSERTED THAT THE INFORMATION WE'RE GETTING FROM THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE IS CONFIDENTIAL, BUT BUT IT'S IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT CONFIDENTIAL BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN GO TO THOSE MEETINGS. SO I HAD ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION ABOUT THAT.

DO WE HAVE THAT CLARIFICATION? I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET, BUT I'M SURE IT'LL BE COMING.

I THINK IT WASN'T. OKAY.

MAY I ASK? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK IT WAS AN EMAIL FROM. TRUSTEE WESTON.

AND I'M GOING TO LET CINDY, I THINK WHEN WHENEVER THERE IS SOMETHING HAS TO DO IS COMING FROM LEGAL, THEY USUALLY PUT STUFF IN CONFIDENTIAL.

BUT CINDY, IF YOU WANT TO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT WITH REGARD TO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS RELEASED TO THE BOARD THAT HAS BEEN SHARED WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, SO THAT WOULD NO LONGER BE CONFIDENTIAL.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THE CBC HAS OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION THAT IS CONFIDENTIAL AT THIS TIME? I'M NOT SURE THERE'S ANYTHING CONFIDENTIAL.

I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT THE CBC HAS, SO I COULDN'T BE.

I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT AT THIS POINT.

I DON'T KNOW. GO AHEAD SIR.

YEAH I KNOW ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE IS, IS IS ACCESSIBLE.

SO IF YOU LET US KNOW WHAT SPECIFIC YOU WANT TO LOOK, WE CAN POINT YOU IN THAT DIRECTION.

OKAY. FABULOUS. AND AND I KNOW THAT ANNIE HAD REACHED OUT TO US TO EVERY SLIDE DECK THAT WE'VE HAD FROM OUR MEETINGS, I BELIEVE HAS BEEN POSTED TO THE CDC WEBSITE AS WELL. SO OBVIOUSLY THOSE DON'T GO INTO EVERY PROJECT, BUT THOSE PROJECTS WILL GO WILL BE LISTED AND POSTED OUT THERE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE AS WELL.

YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT. I GOT CLARITY TONIGHT THAT NONE OF THAT STUFF IS CONFIDENTIAL.

THE LAST QUESTION THAT I JUST HAVE FOR TONIGHT IS BECAUSE HOW MANY MEETINGS WOULD YOU SAY YOU GUYS HAVE HAD? I'M SORRY. COULD YOU. I'VE LOST COUNT.

I'M SORRY, I SAID, BEFORE I GET TO MY LAST QUESTION.

HOW MANY? I'M JUST ASKING HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE CONVENED.

OH WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD THREE FULL CBC MEETINGS.

WE'VE HAD AT LEAST FOR 4 OR 5 LEADERSHIP MEETINGS AND THEN COUNTLESS SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT, THAT HIM AND, AND I HAVE ATTENDED AS WELL.

YEAH. I APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME INVESTMENT THAT THAT TAKES.

SO MY LAST QUESTION IS, DO ANY VENDORS OR PAST VENDORS OR POTENTIAL VENDORS ATTEND THESE CBC MEETINGS, WEIGH IN, CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE A TURF VENDOR? ARE THEY SHOWING UP AT THESE MEETINGS OR.

YEAH, I KNOW ONE OF THE ONE OF OUR RULES, ONE OF MY RULES WAS TO ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO EXPRESS CONCERNS, COMMENTS, WHATEVER.

AND. IF WE HAVE ANY SUPPORT FROM THE DISTRICT THAT WILL HELP US OUT.

COME TO A CONSENSUS THAT WE UTILIZE THAT SUPPORT.

BUT THERE WAS WE TRY NOT TO ALLOW ANY OUTSIDE INFLUENCE OUR CONVERSATIONS.

FOR FOR TRANSPARENCY.

I WILL SAY THAT WITHIN THE FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS, THERE WAS THERE WERE SOME FLIERS THAT TALKED ABOUT TURF AND WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT OBVIOUSLY THOSE WOULD COME FROM TURF VENDORS, BUT THERE WERE NO REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE TURF VENDORS AT THOSE MEETINGS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT THAT I'M AWARE OF, UNLESS THEY WERE ON MEETINGS THAT WE WEREN'T IN ATTENDANCE AT.

BUT AS FAR AS I'M I'M AWARE THEY WERE NOT THERE.

TRUSTEE BONE. THANK YOU.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO SAY THANK YOU.

I SERVED ON THE 2018 BOND, SO I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK IT IS AND TIME AND YOU DON'T GET PAID RIGHT.

SO YOU GUYS GET PAID AS MUCH AS WE GET PAID.

SO I GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

MADAM PRESIDENT, THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS ALSO PROCESS RELATED.

ONE OF THEM IS I HEARD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, AND I AM WONDERING HOW MUCH ADMINISTRATION INVOLVEMENT THERE HAS BEEN FROM THOSE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS FROM MAYBE SCHOOLS THAT AREN'T REPRESENTED.

AND SO I'M INTERESTED IN HOW MANY, HOW MUCH INVOLVEMENT THE PRINCIPALS HAVE HAD WITH THESE DECISIONS.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT KIND OF AS THEY GO FORWARD SO THAT THE PRINCIPALS AREN'T SURPRISED.

SO JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION BEFORE THEY TURN IT OVER TO THE CHAIRS TO ANSWER.

[01:45:04]

WHEN YOU SAY INVOLVEMENT, LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT WORD? I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH INVOLVEMENT THE PRINCIPALS HAVE HAD IN THESE EMAILS OR ATTENDING OR LIKE THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING.

HAVE THEY BEEN EMAILED? HAVE THEY ATTENDED? OKAY, I JUST WANT A CLARIFICATION ON WHAT INVOLVEMENT MEANT TO YOU.

YEAH, SURE. YEAH.

SO I KNOW FOR FOR US, WE OUR SUBCOMMITTEES HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF THE SOME OF THE PRINCIPALS TO KIND OF GATHER WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE.

AND WE USE THAT INFORMATION TO ADD IT TO THE HPM DEFICIENCY LIST SO THAT WE COULD LOOK AT EVERYTHING HOLISTICALLY.

AND AND THERE WAS A PRINCIPAL SURVEY THAT WENT OUT, AND I JUST PULLED THAT UP REAL QUICK.

THERE WERE 30 CAMPUSES THAT PARTICIPATED IN PROVIDING FEEDBACK FOR THEIR CAMPUSES.

SO OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FULL DISTRICT, BUT 30 PRINCIPALS DID RESPOND AND EXPRESS ANY DESIRES OR I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF DESIRES NEEDS REALLY THAT THEY HAD ON THEIR CAMPUS.

SO IS THAT KIND OF ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION? I MEAN, THE ADMINISTRATIVE IF THERE WAS A SITE VISIT, THE PRINCIPALS WERE SHOWING THE SUBCOMMITTEES AROUND AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THEIR CAMPUS AND WHAT THE NEEDS WERE.

SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING YOU KNOW, WITH MAL INTENT GOING ON.

I THINK THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED ON THEIR CAMPUS.

MADAM PRESIDENT, I THINK WHAT I WAS ASKING WAS, AND THIS MIGHT BE AN EXAMPLE, ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS GOING ON ON ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

HAS THAT PRINCIPAL BEEN INVITED ALONG WITH, YOU KNOW, EVEN MCNEIL SOME OF THESE OTHER BIG IMPROVEMENTS THAT THAT WAS MY QUESTION IS, ARE THOSE THINGS HAVE THEY BEEN INVITED TO THE COMMITTEES TO TALK TO THEM? YEAH. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL, DRAGON STADIUM BEING REBRANDED FROM ROUND ROCK.

I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING HOW MUCH INPUT THE PRINCIPALS HAVE HAD AT THIS POINT ON THEIR COMMUNITIES AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THESE CHANGES AND THESE BOND ISSUES.

I'LL LET OUR CHAIRS ANSWER.

SO I KNOW THAT CAPITAL RENEWAL HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT MEETING WITH MATT GROFF, WHO'S THE PRINCIPAL AT ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAPPENED OR NOT.

THEY DID HAPPEN.

SORRY. SHE'S OUR VICE CHAIR, SO I'M LOOKING AT HER.

AND THEN MCNEIL, THAT WAS A RELATIVELY RECENT DECISION TO TO PACKAGE THAT TOGETHER.

BUT WITH ANY MASTER PLAN, OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING MONEY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT MASTER PLAN.

BUT THE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WILL BE PART OF THAT DESIGN PROCESS.

SO THE PARENTS, THE TEACHERS, THE PRINCIPALS ANY OF THOSE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS ARE GOING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT THOSE FINAL PLANS BECOME.

SO, YES, THAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL TO SAY, WE WANT TO TOUCH THESE BUILDINGS AND REBUILD AND IT WILL BE A MASTER PLAN TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH THOSE ULTIMATELY, WHEN THAT MASTER PLAN HAPPENS, IF THERE'S A LOT OF FEEDBACK, I'M SURE THAT WE WILL HEAR ABOUT IT.

AND THOSE THINGS WILL BE WORKED OUT IN THE PLANNING PROCESS, BUT THAT'S KIND OF OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF THE SPECIFIC JOB OF THE CBC. THANK YOU.

THAT TIES TO MY NEXT QUESTION.

AND THAT'S I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS HOW ANY BOND PROJECT WOULD TIE TO BOARD GOALS.

AND THAT WAS WHY I WAS KIND OF ASKING HOW CLOSELY THE PRINCIPLES WERE RELATED TO THESE PROJECTS AND THE FACT THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL WAS TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW. MIGHT HAVING TO GO INTO PORTABLES.

AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THE STUDENTS? AND SO I PERSONALLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE AGREEMENT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THESE PROJECTS IMPACT BOARD GOALS.

AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CBC'S ROLE, BUT I KNOW THAT MIGHT BE THAT DEFINITELY IS THE BOARD'S ROLE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE ADMINISTRATION TO DO THAT AND SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND HOW THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THESE BY THESE PROJECTS.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT AS WE HAVE CONSENSUS FOR IT.

I WOULD SAY I WOULD BE I WOULD SAY THAT THERE WOULD BE PROBABLY A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT THERE WOULD HAVE NO CORRELATION, BECAUSE HOW DOES A NEW ROOF TIE INTO THIRD GRADE READING AND MATH? YOU KNOW, A NEW ROOF AT MCNEIL HIGH SCHOOL DOESN'T TIE IN TO THIRD GRADE READING AND MATH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PROJECTS IF IT'S RESURFACING A PARKING LOT, HOW DO WE TIE THAT INTO A BOARD GOAL? THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE JUST NOT GOING, BECAUSE THERE'S JUST A LOT OF STUFF THAT HAS TO HAPPEN IN THIS DISTRICT.

YEAH, I THINK FOR ME, IT WOULD GIVE ME INSIGHT IF WE HAVE TO START PRIORITIZING, LIKE WHICH ONES DO WE PRIORITIZE? DO I HAVE CONSENSUS ONE PIECE FROM ADMINISTRATION TO, YOU KNOW, WORK THROUGH THAT? I THINK IT WOULD BE JUST AN ADDITIONAL COLUMN.

I THINK IT'D BE A PROBABLY EASY EXERCISE.

[01:50:01]

WE DEFINITELY CAN.

YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ALSO? WE DEFINITELY CAN.

HARDLY. SO JUST WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING.

WHILE IT MAY NOT HAVE A DIRECT CORRELATION TO THE BOARD GOALS BASED ON BOARD GOAL ONE, TWO AND THREE AND FOUR, IT DOES ALIGN VERY SPECIFICALLY TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND STRATEGIC PLAN.

I BELIEVE IT'S GOAL SIX.

THAT AND WITHIN GOAL SIX IT SPEAKS SPECIFICALLY TO TECHNOLOGY.

WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IN TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES AS FAR AS BRINGING THOSE UP TO DATE.

AND I CAN'T REMEMBER SAFETY AND SECURITY TWO AND SAFETY AND SECURITY.

AND SO IT TIES BACK TO THE GOALS WITHIN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

BUT BECAUSE OUR BOARD, OF COURSE, AND, YOU KNOW, THIS FOLLOWS LONE STAR GOVERNANCE, YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY ARE THINGS THAT CORRELATE TO LEARNING.

BUT THOSE THINGS DO SPECIFICALLY GO BACK TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAD PUT TOGETHER.

SO PERHAPS THAT COLUMN COULD INCLUDE BOARD GOALS AND STRATEGIC PLAN AS WELL AS.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

AND AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A OVERLY BURDENSOME PROCESS FOR ADMINISTRATION, LIKE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE RELATIVELY EASY TO BE ABLE TO.

YEAH. IT'S NOT. YEAH.

ONCE, AS YOU HEARD, OUR CO-CHAIRS ARE TALKING ABOUT THEIR FINAL PRODUCT PROBABLY WILL BE DONE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH.

SO ON THE JUNE. SO PROBABLY WILL WORK ON IT AFTER IT'S DONE.

AND THEN WE'LL ADD THOSE TWO COLUMNS.

AND THEN SO THE NEXT TIME WE MEET WE CAN PROBABLY HAVE THAT ALREADY.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE BONE. THAT WAS IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY. GO AHEAD.

I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT ABOUT ROUND ROCK.

IT'S IT'S A BIG CHANGE, AND WE FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FEELINGS IN THE ROOM AS THEY WERE DISCUSSING IT.

THERE WERE FEELINGS FROM DISTRICT STAFF ABOUT HOW THEY FELT ABOUT IT.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY THE THE CONSENSUS FROM THAT COMMITTEE WAS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROMISE TO THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME.

SO WHILE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE COMFORTABLE WHILE YOU POTENTIALLY TEAR DOWN BUILDINGS AND REBUILD THEM IT'S A SEASON OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THAT END GOAL.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE RECOMMENDATION OF HAVING THAT SWING SPACE AND THINGS LIKE THAT WERE MEANT TO HELP KIND OF ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS.

I KNOW OUR VICE CHAIR OF THAT COMMITTEE, LIKE, SHE WAS LIKE WESTWOOD WAS, YOU KNOW, A WRECK FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

AND YOU STILL HAD STUDENTS THAT WERE GOING THERE EVERY DAY AND LEARNING AND MEETING THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS.

AND WHILE IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT'S MAYBE AN INCONVENIENCE TO STAFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AS WELL, IT ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TO GET UNCOMFORTABLE TO GET TO THAT END GOAL. SO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON, BUT I DO HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

LIKE, ON SLIDE FIVE, YOU TALK ABOUT THERE'S 813 PROJECTS THAT HAVE MADE IT TO THE END RIGHT NOW.

THE 2018 BOND HAD 199 PROJECTS.

AND WHAT CAME BACK FROM THAT CONSISTENTLY WAS, WOW, THIS IS A WHOLE LOT OF PROJECTS TO ACCOMPLISH IN 3 OR 4 YEARS.

AND THIS IS FOUR TIMES AS MUCH PLUS THEN PLUS SOME.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THAT? YEAH. SO AND THAT'S A PARED DOWN LIST.

BECAUSE WE, WE GOT THAT FEEDBACK FROM CONSTRUCTION.

WE HEARD FROM MELANIE LAST WEEK.

THAT SAID, WE CAN'T DO ALL OF THOSE ROOFS.

WE CAN'T DO ALL OF THOSE FLOOR FINISHES.

WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME IN THIS NEXT BOND CYCLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN WHITTLED DOWN, AND THEY'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S FEASIBILITY.

WE MET TODAY AND THERE HER AND HPM ARE LOOKING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, EVEN THE FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS.

IS IT FEASIBLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THESE THINGS? SO I THINK, OH, THEY'RE SORRY.

WE ALSO HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT CEO AND COO, AND HE'S AMAZING AND CAN MAKE A MARVELOUS THINGS HAPPEN.

THE THE PROJECT LIST THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO, THE 139, WAS AFTER THEY BUNDLED ALL THE PROJECTS TOGETHER.

THESE ARE JUST INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A BOND CONSTITUTION, THEY'LL BE BUNDLED SO IT WON'T BE 800 PROJECTS.

OKAY. THAT HELPS.

DO YOU HAVE A PLAN TO SUBMIT TO THE TRUSTEES THE LIST OF 1835 PROJECTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED? WELL, I GUESS THAT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS.

DO YOU WANT THEM PRE-BUNDLED OR DO YOU WANT TO SEE EVERY GRANULAR LINE ITEM? I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERY GRANULAR LINE ITEM.

ONLY BECAUSE THERE'S SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT I'M KIND OF SURPRISED DIDN'T MAKE INTO THIS PRESENTATION AT ALL.

FOR EXAMPLE, AN EXPANSION AT FOREST CREEK ELEMENTARY OR TOUCHING THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING THAT WE KNOW HAS ASBESTOS DAMAGE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN DISCUSSED IN HERE.

AND IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE LIST, THEN THAT'S FINE.

BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THEY FELL IF THEY WERE EVEN ON THE ORIGINAL CONSIDERATION LIST.

[01:55:02]

YEAH, THE HBM LIST IS VERY, VERY LONG.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THAT ORIGINAL ONE AND THEN SEE ALL THE STRIKETHROUGHS THAT THAT'S AN EXERCISE.

BUT IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE? THE BEFORE AND AFTER TO.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE 1835 PROJECTS THAT WERE CONSIDERED COOL.

OKAY, WE CAN SEND IT AND THEN OH, SHOOT.

PAUSE MY TIME FOR A SECOND.

OH, I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION.

AND WHY DIDN'T I WRITE IT DOWN? OKAY, WELL, I'LL EMAIL IT.

I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER NOW WHAT IT WAS.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF THIS WORK.

I APPRECIATE IT.

TRUSTEES, AT THIS POINT, WHAT I REALLY NEED YOU GUYS TO DO IS I NEED YOU TO RSVP TO MEETINGS.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO PLAN FOR QUORUM WHEN I DON'T HAVE RESPONSES FROM EVERYBODY, SO PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CALENDAR INVITATIONS.

WE TYPICALLY DON'T MEET IN JULY.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A TYPICAL JULY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL MEETINGS AND WE NEED AND AND SHOULD GIVE THE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION TO THIS THAT IT'S DUE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR COMPLETE DUE DILIGENCE ON IT. SO PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CALENDAR INVITES AND LET'S GET THIS PROCESS STARTED.

YES A QUESTION. GO AHEAD.

OH, SORRY.

CAN WE ALSO GET A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION AS TO HOW THE WORKSHOP IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? YES, BUT NOT TONIGHT.

NO, NO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH. NO, NO, JUST JUST LET US KNOW SO THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO JUST BEHIND THE SCENES.

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU GUYS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FINAL REPORT, AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF TALK ABOUT THAT OF HOW THE BEST WAY TO STRUCTURE IT.

AND I'D LIKE A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS SINCE WE'RE JUST SEEING THIS INFORMATION FROM THE FIRST TIME, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH YOU ALL AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A COHESIVE.

AND THEN I ALSO DON'T WANT YOU ALL TO HAVE TO SIT THROUGH HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AS WELL.

I MEAN, WE GET PAID.

OH, YEAH. WE DON'T. WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE ANYWAY.

BUT I WANT TO RESPECT YOUR TIME AS WELL.

SO WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET AS MUCH OF THE QUESTIONS AND STUFF AHEAD OF TIME WITH YOU AND THEN THE BOND.

THE BOARD CAN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AS WELL.

AT THIS POINT WE'RE INVESTED.

SO IF IT'S HOURS AND HOURS, I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.

BUT YEAH, JUST LET US KNOW.

AND THEN ABSOLUTELY, WE COULD REARRANGE OUR SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY.

I HAVE STAYED FAR AWAY FROM THE PROCESS UP TO THIS POINT.

BUT IT IS NOW TIME FOR US TO START WORKING TOGETHER.

I WILL JUST HAVE A PERSONAL QUEST, KIND OF WHAT FABIAN, I THINK WAS HINTING AT WE BOTH DO WORK FULL TIME AS WE'RE DOING THIS.

AND SO IF YOU GUYS CAN RSVP TO TRUSTEE LANDRUM AND LET HER KNOW WHICH DAYS ARE GOING TO BE QUORUM.

I KNOW THE 18TH WAS TALKED ABOUT BEING A WORKSHOP AND HOURS AND HOURS.

THAT MEANS THAT WE NEED TO PLAN OUR SCHEDULES ACCORDINGLY AS WELL TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.

SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT PERSONALLY.

AWESOME. THANK YOU AGAIN.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TONIGHT BEING HERE.

SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

IT'S 827.

WE JUST TOOK A BREAK ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO.

BUT OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE LONG.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE WE TAKE A 13 MINUTE RECESS.

WE'LL COME BACK AT 840 AND GET STARTED ON AGENDA ITEM F ONE.

GOOD EVENING. IT IS 841.

WE ARE OUT OF RECESS, BACK IN OPEN SESSION AND WE ARE GOING TO GO TO AGENDA ITEM F ONE.

[F. SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS]

AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO DOCTOR NICHOLS TO GET US STARTED ON THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PRESIDENT LANDRUM.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR AZAIEZ.

THANK YOU. BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO REPRESENT ALL THE HARD WORKING MEMBERS OF MY TEAM AND ALSO WANT TO INTRODUCE WE'RE IN, YOUNG LADY, THIS YOUNG LADY NEXT TO ME.

MISS ERICA SIMMONS, WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION, WHO ALWAYS DOES AN AMAZING JOB AS FAR AS GETTING US THE DATA AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF HAVE THE DIFFERENT LOOKS TO SEE HOW OUR KIDS ARE DOING AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

SO TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING ON TWO OF OUR TWO OF OUR GOALS FOR EARLY LITERACY AND AGAIN FOR EARLY NUMERACY.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

SO OUR WONDERFUL BOARD SET A BOARD GOAL, ONE THAT SPEAKS SPECIFICALLY TO EARLY LITERACY.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JOINING US FOR THE FIRST TIME IN REGARDS TO EARLY LITERACY, THE GOAL IS SET AT THIRD GRADE.

AND WHAT IT SAYS FOR THIRD GRADE.

FOR THE YEAR 2024, WE WANT AT A MINIMUM OF 64% OF OUR STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE AT THE MEETS LEVEL.

AND THEN FOR ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT STUDENT POPULATIONS, IT SETS A MINIMUM NUMBER FOR THEM AS WELL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHY THE MEETS LEVEL IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALIGNING THE SYSTEM ALL THE WAY FROM KINDERGARTEN,

[02:00:07]

ALL THE WAY UP TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH COLLEGE READINESS.

AND IN ORDER FOR US TO LOOK AT COLLEGE READINESS STUDENTS PERFORMING AT THE MEETS LEVEL IS A GREAT INDICATOR OF THEIR ABILITY TO PERFORM AT HIGH RATES IN MATH AND READING.

SO GOAL.

EACH GOAL HAS WHAT'S CALLED GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES.

AND FOR EACH OF THOSE GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW OUR STUDENTS DO IN KINDERGARTEN, FIRST GRADE AND SECOND GRADE.

BECAUSE THE IDEA IS IF WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW THEY'RE DOING IN EACH OF THESE GRADES, WE HAVE A SENSE OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL BE ON TRACK TO PERFORM BASED AT THE GOAL PERCENTAGE FOR THIRD GRADE AT THE MEETS NUMBER FOR KINDERGARTEN.

OUR GOAL IS FOR ACTUALLY FOR KINDERGARTEN FIRST AND SECOND GRADE.

THE GOAL IS FOR ALL OF THEM TO BE AT 80% OR HIGHER BY THE YEAR 2026.

AND OF COURSE, FOR EACH YEAR, THE BOARD SETS WHAT GOAL THEY WANT FOR EACH OF THOSE POPULATIONS.

SO FOR KINDERGARTEN FOR THIS YEAR 2024, OUR GOAL IS SET AT 76 FOR FIRST GRADE.

THE TARGET IS SET AT 73%.

AND FOR OUR SECOND GRADERS, THE TARGET IS SET AT 77%.

NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT HOW DO WE GET THESE NUMBERS? THE DISTRICT HAS A SCREENER.

THE SCREENER IS SPECIFICALLY IS CALLED M CLASS.

THIS IS OUR READING SCREENER.

AND THAT READING SCREENER IS USED FOR OUR STUDENTS IN FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

WHAT WE LOOK AT SPECIFICALLY MISS SIMMONS AND HER TEAM HAVE GONE AHEAD AND LOOKED AT WHAT SPECIFICALLY IN THAT SCREENER CORRELATES TO THE MEETS LEVEL AS IT RELATES TO STAR.

AND SO WHAT WE SEE IS FOR THIS SPECIFIC SCREENER, STUDENTS PERFORMING AT THE AT OR ABOVE BENCHMARK ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ON TRACK TO SCORE AT THE MEETS LEVEL. AND SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA WITHIN THIS WAY.

SO WHEN WE'RE REPORTING OUT WE'RE SAYING, HEY, THIS DATA IS CORRELATING WITH THE STUDENTS THAT CAN PERFORM AT THIS LEVEL.

AND IF THEY KEEP PERFORMING AT THIS LEVEL, THEN THEY WILL BE ON TRACK TO PERFORM AT THE MEETS LEVEL IN STAR WHEN THEY REACH THIRD GRADE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT READING FIRST.

AND I WANTED TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN APPRECIATION OF WHAT THIS MEANS AS ADULTS, BECAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SECOND NATURE AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT REALLY BE THAT DIFFICULT.

SO TO GET A SENSE OF REALLY WHAT OUR KINDERGARTNERS ARE GOING THROUGH AND HOW MUCH LEARNING HAS TO HAPPEN WITHIN THIS PERIOD OF TIME, I WANTED TO EXPRESS THAT IT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS THE SAME AS TEACHING YOU TO READ WITH THIS ALPHABET, WE HAVE TO TEACH THEM WHAT WHAT IF TO READ RIGHT TO LEFT, LEFT TO RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO TEACH THEM THAT EVERY LETTER HAS SEVERAL SOUNDS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO IT.

AND TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE IN BOTH CAPITAL LETTERS AND LOWERCASE LETTERS.

AND FOR WHEN WE REALLY DID TEACH SCRIPT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN SCRIPT AS WELL.

SO THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO READ IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

AND IF YOU'RE ABLE TO GO THROUGH AND FIGURE OUT HEY, MATCH UP THE SOUNDS TO ALL THESE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS, YOU WOULD SEE, IT SAYS KIT RAN AND HID.

SO FOR OUR STUDENTS.

ALSO, WHAT MAKES READING DIFFICULT IS THE FACT THAT EACH LETTER HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATIONS AND ALSO DOUBLE THAT FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN DUAL LANGUAGE, WHERE WITHIN THE DUAL LANGUAGE, BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO BE BILINGUAL AND BILITERATE, THEN THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY HAVING TO LEARN ALL THESE DIFFERENT LETTERS, ALL THE DIFFERENT SOUNDS AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS THESE SOUNDS SHOW UP BASED ON WHAT IT'S PAIRED WITH OR WHERE IT SHOWS UP. IN A WORD, SAME THING.

IF WE'RE LOOKING AT VOWELS.

SO HERE IS AN EXAMPLE.

WE HAVE THE LETTER E, BUT VERY DIFFERENT SOUNDS.

IF IT'S IN THE WORD EAT VERSUS ENGLISH VERSUS EIGHT, ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE RULES ATTACHED TO THEM.

AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT ROOM RULES ARE THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO READ AT OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL.

TONIGHT. WHAT WE WILL ALSO DO IS SHOW YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO AS A DISTRICT WHEN IT COMES TO DATA ANALYSIS AND HOW WE MAKE OUR DECISIONS.

SO WHAT YOU SEE TODAY IS THE WAY WE PRESENT THE DATA BASED ON HOW THE BOARD HAS SET THEIR GOALS.

BUT THERE ARE SO MANY MORE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT AND SO MANY MORE DECISION POINTS AND THEN ACTIONS BASED ON THESE DECISION POINTS.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO JUST SHARE A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS WITH YOU.

SO YOUR UNDERSTANDING WHAT OUR WORK LOOKS LIKE ON A DAILY BASIS.

[02:05:06]

SO WE'RE GOING TO START TODAY WITH OUR GOAL PROGRESS MEASURE 1.1.

AND THAT RELATES TO KINDERGARTEN EARLY LITERACY.

SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE SPECIFICALLY, AGAIN, OUR GOAL AS GIVEN TO US BY THE BOARD, IS 76% FOR OUR KINDERGARTNERS.

WE HAVE THREE YEARS WORTH OF DATA TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS.

BOE STANDS FOR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MAWAI MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, EOI END OF THE YEAR.

SO IN REGARDS TO THE M CLASS SCREENER OUR STUDENTS TAKE TESTS THREE TIMES DURING THE YEAR AND WE MEASURE THEIR PROGRESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE TEST IS NOT THE SAME.

FOR EACH TIME WE GIVE THAT SCREENER, THERE'S A HIGHER LEVEL THAT THEY HAVE TO PERFORM IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO.

IN ORDER TO BE RATED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF I PERFORMED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AT A CERTAIN LEVEL, IF I PERFORM THE SAME WAY AT THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, THEN MORE THAN LIKELY I WILL BE BELOW OR WELL BELOW.

THE MARK ALWAYS MOVES AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE YEAR.

SO UNDERSTAND THEN WHEN YOU SEE OUR NUMBERS RISE, IT'S RISING AGAINST A MOVING TARGET.

WHAT WE SEE HERE IS WE WERE ABLE TO EXCEED THE TARGET THAT THE DISTRICT SET FOR US.

THE TARGET WAS AT 76% FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, AND THE KINDERGARTNERS WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE AT 81%.

WE STARTED THE YEAR AT 55% AND ENDED IN 81.

AND WE ALSO SEE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO IMPROVE YEAR OVER YEAR FROM 61% TO 70% TO 81%.

WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR DIFFERENT STUDENT POPULATIONS, WE ALSO SEE THOSE NUMBERS BORNE OUT IN THESE POPULATION TARGETS AS WELL.

ALL STUDENT GROUPS MET OR EXCEEDED THEIR TARGET, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENT POPULATION, WHO MISSED THE TARGET BY 1%.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK AT IS THE ABILITY THEN, FOR STUDENT POPULATIONS WHO ARE NOT PERFORMING, THE MAJORITY OF THAT POPULATION IS NOT PERFORMING AT OR ABOVE BENCHMARK, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO.

WHAT'S THE WORD? NOT EXPEDITE, BUT TO CAUSE GROWTH, EXPONENTIAL GROWTH FOR THOSE POPULATIONS, AND TO REALLY SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY FROM A CURRICULUM AND AN INSTRUCTIONAL STANDPOINT.

AND SO WE'RE VERY PROUD AS FAR AS THE OUR RESULTS HERE.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THAT.

AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS WE MOVE ON.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO WITHIN OUR DATA IS.

YOU SEE THE COMPOSITE SCORE? LIKE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING AT OR ABOVE? WE HAVE THE ABILITY WITHIN OUR DATA TO LOOK AT THAT COMPOSITE SCORE BROKEN DOWN BY ITS VARIOUS COMPONENTS.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE SEEING HERE WHERE FOR OUR STUDENT POPULATION, WE'LL SEE WHAT PERCENTAGE PERFORMED AT WELL BELOW, BELOW AT BENCHMARK AND ABOVE BENCHMARK.

WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO PROGRAMMATICALLY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SCORES.

WE HAVE STUDENTS WHERE THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE IS SPANISH.

SO THEY DO TAKE THE SPANISH TEST CALLED DIBELS.

AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO COMPARE THEIR ABILITY TO THEIR READING SCORE VERSUS OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE MONOLINGUAL OR ENGLISH WHERE ENGLISH FIRST. WHAT WE SEE HERE AND WHAT WE WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH WE GIVE YOU A NUMBER THAT SAYS AT OR ABOVE, IT REALLY IS VERY IMPORTANT WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS, THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS AT OR SORRY BELOW OR WELL BELOW FOR BOTH POPULATIONS ARE ABOUT THE SAME.

YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO ARE PERFORMING ABOVE BENCHMARK AND AT BENCHMARK FOR THESE TWO DIFFERENT POPULATIONS.

WHY DOES THAT MATTER? BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE TRANSITIONING TO THE NEXT GRADE, OFTENTIMES WE SEE A BIT OF LEARNING LOSS.

AND SO WE KNOW IF A STUDENT IS VERY CLOSE TO TO BELOW BENCHMARK, IT'S VERY EASY TO SLIDE DOWN INTO THAT POPULATION.

SO WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IN REGARDS TO OUR CURRICULUM AND OR INSTRUCTION THAT SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING IN THE SAME WAY FOR THIS POPULATION.

AND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE THAT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT WE NEED FOR DUE TO THAT POPULATION, OUR CURRICULUM, OUR INSTRUCTION IS NOT WORKING AS WELL FOR THIS POPULATION.

AND WE HAVE TO DO DIFFERENT AND BE DIFFERENT.

ANOTHER THING THAT WE LOOK AT IS NOT JUST THE BREAKDOWN OF THE SCORES, WE ALSO LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE COMPONENTS.

THIS IS CALLED THIS IS CALLED DECODING.

AND THIS IS JUST MEANT TO SHOW US AN EXAMPLE.

WE ALSO LOOK AT THOSE DIFFERENT POPULATIONS AND HOW THEY'RE DOING SPECIFICALLY BY EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS ON THAT M-CLASS SCREENER, BECAUSE THEN IT TELLS US

[02:10:09]

WHERE OUR CURRICULUM IS WORKING AND WHERE IT'S NOT WORKING, AND WHERE WE MAY NEED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR OUR SPANISH SPEAKERS, OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS, YOU SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS AT OR ABOVE IN DECODING IS AT, LET'S SEE, 53% VERSUS OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS, WHERE IT IS AT 79%.

SO WE KNOW THAT OUR CURRICULUM IS AFFECTING THEM IN VERY DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND IF YOU ARE A SPANISH SPEAKER WHO HAVE OR HAVE STUDIED SPANISH, WE KNOW THAT IT IS A LOT SIMPLER TO LEARN SPANISH BECAUSE THERE IS NOT AS MANY.

DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THE LETTERS CAN BE PRONOUNCED.

AND SO THEN WHEN WE SEE THIS ON OUR DATA, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM DOUBLY BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO GET A HIGHER SCORE WITHIN YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE, THEN IT MEANS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DOUBLY HARD FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO LEARN ALL OF THIS IN A SECOND LANGUAGE.

SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THE DIFFERENT WAY WE LOOK AT OUR DATA AND BREAK IT DOWN.

AND SO WHEN WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS, THERE ARE MYRIAD OF DIFFERENT DECISIONS.

AND SO WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT FOR THE CURRICULUM FOR OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS WHICH WE HAVE.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING CALLED OUR LANGUAGE CONTENT ALLOCATION PLAN.

DON'T NEED TO REALLY GO INTO IT IN GREAT DETAIL, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT IS HOW MANY MINUTES WERE WE PRESCRIBING FOR OUR STUDENTS? WE USUALLY HAVE, SAY, FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL.

HERE'S HOW MANY MINUTES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND IN READING LANGUAGE ARTS AND SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES AND MATH.

AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF MINUTES THAT WE WERE PRESCRIBING FOR OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A HUGE DISCREPANCY.

AND YOU KNOW THAT IF I AM NOT SPENDING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WITHIN A CONTENT LEARNING THAT CONTENT, THEN I'M GOING TO BE AT A DISADVANTAGE.

SO WE REALIZED THAT WE NEEDED TO GO BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS EQUITY BETWEEN THE TWO AS FAR AS WHERE WE WERE PUTTING THE MINUTES TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS HAD A CHANCE, A BETTER CHANCE FOR SUCCESS.

NOW, THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE DONE, BUT IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE CONSIDER AND SOME OF THE INTERVENTIONS THAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE SPEAK ABOUT IS AN INTERVENTION DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A STUDENT INTERVENTION.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A TEACHER INTERVENTION.

IT CAN SOMETIMES BE A SYSTEM INTERVENTION.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE INTERVENTIONS, AS WE LOOKED AT THE DATA, THAT THE DISTRICT WENT BACK AND SAID, WE OWN THAT PIECE AND WE HAVE THE INTERVENTION HAS TO BE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. NOW WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS FIRST GRADE EARLY LITERACY AND WHAT WE SAW WITHIN THAT DATA.

THE. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SET A TARGET AT 73%.

WE WERE ABLE TO EXCEED THAT TARGET BY 2% AND REACHED THE 75% AT THE END OF THE YEAR, YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISONS, WE SEE, WE WENT FROM 69%.

AND THEN AFTERWARDS WE STAYED FOR BOTH YEARS LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR, WE ENDED THE SCHOOL YEAR AT 75%.

WHILE WE ARE HAPPY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR TARGET, THOUGH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WONDERED IS, OKAY, WHY ARE WE SEEING.

NOT THE SAME DRASTIC INCREASE AS WE SAW IN KINDERGARTEN.

BECAUSE WE REVAMPED THE DATA, WE MADE IMPROVEMENT, BUT THERE WAS AN EXPECTATION OF A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DATA.

OF COURSE, FROM BOY TO ELI, THERE WAS A 14% INCREASE.

BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CREATING EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.

AND SO WE HAVE REVISITED THAT CURRICULUM.

AND AGAIN, AS YOU SAW BEFORE, WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT EACH OF THE COMPONENTS.

WHERE DO WE SEE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES SO WE CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

AS WE CAN SEE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED MULTI TWO OR MORE SPECIAL EDUCATION DYSLEXIA STUDENT GROUPS.

THEY MISSED THE TARGETS.

THERE ARE TEN TARGETS IN ALL.

THOSE ARE FOUR GROUPS.

SO SIX OF OUR VARIOUS GROUPS WERE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR TARGET.

AND WE DID SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS YEAR OVER YEAR, BUT AGAIN, NOT THE DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT THAT WE SAW IN KINDERGARTEN.

SO WE'RE REALLY GOING TO GO BACK AND INTERROGATE OUR CURRICULUM AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY FOR THESE GROUPS SO WE CAN SEE HIGHER LEVELS OF GROWTH. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS ASKED US FOR IS TO LOOK AT COHORT DATA TO SEE AS FAR AS EXACTLY HOW IS THIS, HOW ARE WE AFFECTING THE STUDENTS THAT ARE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM?

[02:15:03]

NOW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT WHEN WE SAY COHORT DATA, WE'RE REFERRING TO THE STUDENTS THAT WERE WITH US IN KINDERGARTEN AND AGAIN WITH US IN IN FIRST GRADE. SO THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT COUNTED FOR THE DATA SET THAT YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY THAT WILL NOT BE IN THIS COHORT DATA.

SO THAT'S WHY IF YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE NUMBERS, THAT'S WHAT'S ACCOUNTING FOR THAT.

SO WE SEE FOR THIS COHORT OUR FIRST GRADE COHORT YEAR OVER YEAR, THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE THEM FROM 70% AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO 78%. AND SO WE'RE PROUD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE THAT LEVEL OF GROWTH WITH THE STUDENTS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM.

AGAIN, A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT THE DATA, BECAUSE THIS IS THE SAME KIDS THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, AND WE WANT TO SEE HOW OUR CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION, THE CHANGES TO OUR SYSTEM, WHAT IMPACT IT IS HAVING ON THOSE STUDENTS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITHIN WHEN WE LOOKED AT OUR DATA IS THE IDEA OF PACING AND ALIGNMENT BY THAT.

WHEN YOU SEE THE FIRST SEMESTER AND WE HAVE THREE YEARS WORTH OF DATA, YOU SEE IT'S MORE SO A LITTLE BIT FLAT VERSUS WHERE YOU SEE A SHARPER INCLINE IN SECOND SEMESTER. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO IS LOOK AT WHAT IS CAUSING WHERE.

NOT THAT SHARP OF AN INCREASE WITHIN OUR DATA WHERE WE'RE ONLY SEEING 4%, 3% IMPROVEMENT.

OVERARCHINGLY. AGAIN, WE LOOKED AT THE DATA AND SAID, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OF OUR STUDENTS ARE IN THE WELL BELOW, BELOW AT BENCHMARK BUCKETS? AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN THE DATA FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, THAT THERE REALLY WAS NOT MUCH MOVEMENT OR CHANGE WHEN WE BROKE DOWN EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT LEARNING GROUPS.

THE CHANGE MORE SO CAME FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR TO END OF THE YEAR.

AGAIN, I'M SHOWING YOU THE SAME DATA, BUT JUST SHOWING IT IN THE SAME WAY WITHIN A WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, A TABLE? TO JUST SHOW THAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WHY WE THEN ALSO LOOK AT BREAKING IT DOWN.

IT'S LIKE, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT IT BY THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING, BECAUSE IT GIVES US A SENSE OF WHERE OUR DATA IS STRONG, WHERE IT'S WEAK, AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE CODING, YOU SEE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WE WERE AT 38%, BUT THEN WE FELL TO 35%.

WE SEE THAT SAME THING WITH LETTER NAMES.

WE'RE AT 40%.

WE WENT TO 37%.

SO IN SOME OF THESE AREAS YOU ACTUALLY SEE A DECREASE RATHER THAN AN INCREASE IN THOSE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS.

SO THAT ALLOWS US THEN TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR CURRICULUM SPECIFICALLY IN FIRST SEMESTER FOR THOSE SPECIFIC THINGS AND SAY, LET'S SEE WHAT THAT CURRICULUM IS DOING AND WHY.

THEN IF THE LEVEL OF RIGOR AND WHAT WE'RE TEACHING IS OFF AND IT'S NOT ALIGNING WITH WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW AND FIRST GRADE.

AND SO ACTUALLY THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE DID A CURRICULUM REWRITE THIS YEAR, WE WENT BACK AGAIN AND DID AN ADDITIONAL REWRITE BASED ON LOOKING AT THE DATA IN THIS WAY AND REALLY LOOKING AT THOSE DATA PATTERNS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF RIGOR AND THE RIGHT ACTIVITIES BASED ON WHAT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

NOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TO GPM 1.2, WHICH SPEAKS TO OUR SECOND GRADE EARLY LITERACY DATA.

THE BOARD HAS ASKED THAT BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, 2024, THAT WE REACH A TARGET OF 77%.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE SEE THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO REACH THAT TARGET, UNLIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN KINDERGARTEN AND IN FIRST GRADE.

AND WE WERE OFF BY 3% AND WERE ABLE TO GET TO 74% THIS YEAR.

WE STARTED AT 66, ENDED AT 74, WHICH REPRESENTS AN 8% GROWTH OVER FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE END OF THE YEAR.

YEAR OVER YEAR.

WE ALSO SEE THAT THERE IS GROWTH, BUT AGAIN, NOT AS MUCH AS WE'RE SEEING IN KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE.

WE WENT FROM 7,270% TO 72% TO 74% AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

AGAIN, YOU SEE THAT NUMBER REFLECTED WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN BY STUDENT POPULATION AND MANY MORE OF OUR STUDENTS GROUP, WE SEE THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO HIT THE TARGET WITHIN THOSE GROUPS. AND AGAIN, VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE SAW PREVIOUSLY, PREVIOUSLY IN KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE.

AS WE LOOK AT THE COHORT DATA AGAIN IT AGAIN SHOWS US THAT THERE IS A DISPARITY IN HOW WE'RE SEEING THAT CURRICULUM.

WE SEE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A BIG JUMP FROM 59% TO 76% WITH THAT COHORT FROM 2023 TO I'M SORRY, FROM 2022 TO 2023, BUT FROM 2023 TO 2024, THEN IT'S STATISTICALLY FLAT.

AGAIN, WE'RE ASKING THEM TO PERFORM AT HIGHER LEVELS, BUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL GROWTH WHERE THERE WERE

[02:20:08]

STUDENTS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO BRING MORE INTO THE FOLD AS FAR AS WHERE THEY'RE DOING WELL.

SO WHAT THIS REPRESENTS FOR US IS THIS IDEA THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF WORK AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE NEED TO DO AT THE SECOND GRADE COHORT. SPECIFICALLY, WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT AS YOU MOVE UP FROM KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE, EVEN THOUGH THE COMPONENTS MAY BE NAMED THE SAME THING, THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO PERFORM SKILLS AT A VERY DIFFERENT LEVEL.

AND SO WE REALIZE THAT WITHIN OUR CURRICULUM, OUR CURRICULUM THEN WAS NOT WRITTEN AT THE RIGHT LEVEL BASED ON THE GRADE ALSO WITHIN THE FIRST TO SECOND GRADE CURRICULUM, AND EVEN MORE SO FROM SECOND TO THIRD GRADE, THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL COMPONENT FOR COMPREHENSION THAT IS EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS, AND THEY'RE TESTED DIFFERENTLY.

AND SO WE REALIZE THAT AS CURRICULUM WRITING CURRICULUM WRITERS, THAT WE DID NOT HAVE CAPACITY AS IT RELATED TO UNDERSTANDING THEN MOVING SPECIFICALLY FROM SKILLS TO THAT COMPREHENSION PIECE, WHEREAS IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF I'M SAYING WORDS, BUT HOW DO I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WRITTEN AND A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FLUENCY.

AND SO WE HAVE GONE BACK, WE DID PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OURSELVES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE, AND SO THAT WE CAN WRITE THAT INTO THE CURRICULUM. I WILL STOP HERE AND PAUSE AND TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO EARLY LITERACY TRUSTEES, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

TRUSTEE WEIR.

WELL, FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COHORT DATA.

I THANK YOU, MISS SIMMONS, AND I SHOULD GO THROUGH THE CHAIR TO THANK HER, BUT THANK YOU, DOCTOR AZAIEZ.

I, I TO ME, THAT'S MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL TO SEE HOW THE KIDS HAVE DONE AND TO SEE THAT BIG JUMP YEAR TO YEAR, OR EVEN IF IT STAYS FLAT.

SO NOW YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.

SO I TRULY APPRECIATE IT.

I AND THIS IS FOR THIS ROUND AND THE MATH THAT'S COMING UP.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE ACTUAL GOAL UPDATE, LIKE THE THIRD GRADE READING AND THE THIRD GRADE MATH? SO WE WE GOT A I MEAN, YOU WANT TO ANSWER GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD.

JUST A REMINDER WE HAVE NOT GO THROUGH THE CHAIR.

I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST TO REMIND HER THAT ALL QUESTIONS GO THROUGH THE CHAIR.

BUT GO AHEAD. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ALL THE DATA YET.

WE GAVE AN UPDATE.

AND IT GAVE A TIMELINE AS FAR AS WHEN TO WOULD BE RELEASING THE DATA.

WE STILL HAVE SOME MORE DATA FOR THEM TO RELEASE TO WHERE THEN WE CAN GIVE YOU OFFICIALLY A FULL UPDATE ON THAT.

AND SO WE'RE HOPING ALL OF IT COMES IN.

THE REST OF IT COMES IN THIS WEEK.

AND THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND SEND THAT IN A BOARD UPDATE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON.

TRUSTEE BONE ACTUALLY PUSH THAT AGAIN BECAUSE AMY'S DIDN'T LIGHT UP EITHER AND YOURS ISN'T LIGHTING UP.

NOPE. THERE IT GOES. ALL RIGHT.

TRUSTEE BONE. THIRD TIME'S A CHARM.

I HAD A QUESTION ON THE DYSLEXIA BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT WE'RE NOT MEETING THOSE KIDS AND AT PRETTY LOW NUMBERS TOO.

SO CAN YOU KIND OF TALK ABOUT THEIR PLANS FOR DYSLEXIA OR WHAT ARE THE GOALS THERE? ABSOLUTELY. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC SLIDE YOU'D LIKE ME TO SPEAK TO OR OVERARCHING 24 WOULD BE FINE.

IT'S CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE.

SO QUITE RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT AS FAR AS WE WANTED A DIFFERENT WAY TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT THAT DATA FOR YOU.

BECAUSE I THINK SPECIFICALLY IN REGARDS TO DYSLEXIA, IT CAN BE MISLEADING BASED ON WHEN OUR KIDS ARE.

BASED ON WHEN THEY COME INTO THE SYSTEM AND HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE SYSTEM, AND HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING DYSLEXIA INTERVENTION.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING DIFFERENTLY AND THAT WE WANT TO ADD THIS IN ADDITION TO THE REPORT THAT WE GIVE YOU, IS SPECIFICALLY THAT.

BUT WE REALIZED AS WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THIS THAT WE CAN'T SIMPLY GIVE IT TO YOU BY GRADE.

IT MATTERS HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN IN THE SYSTEM, HOW FAR I'VE GOTTEN WITHIN THE CURRICULUM, AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEN HOW THAT CORRELATES TO HOW WELL I'M DOING OVER ARCHING WITHIN READING.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT, AND BY NEXT YEAR YOU WILL BE GETTING SPECIFIC DATA WHERE WE WILL PULL THAT STUDENT POPULATION OUT AND DELIVER THAT TO YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY, BECAUSE WE FELT THAT THIS WAS NOT THE APPROPRIATE WAY FOR YOU TO SEE, AND FOR US TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT WHAT WE WERE DOING WITHIN THE SYSTEM WAS HAVING AN IMPACT ON THE STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. AND I GUESS THAT GOES INTO MY OTHER QUESTION THEN.

MADAM CHAIR WOULD BE.

ARE WE GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT THEN, WHEN WE IDENTIFY STUDENTS WITH DYSLEXIA AND HOW THAT IMPACTS THESE GOALS? IF IF THE BOARD IS IS OKAY WITH THIS, WE CAN PROBABLY WHAT I'M HEARING RIGHT AND OBVIOUSLY UP TO THE BOARD.

[02:25:05]

WE CAN PROVIDE YOU WHETHER IN JULY OR PROBABLY AUGUST, MORE UPDATE ABOUT THE CHANGES WE ARE MAKING, POSITIVE CHANGES WE'RE MAKING AS FAR AS THE DYSLEXIA PROGRAM, AND I THINK PROBABLY DOCTOR BONE, THAT PROBABLY WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE DOING WHILE WE'RE CHANGING TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICES AND HOW WE MEET OUR STUDENTS NEEDS WHEN IT COMES TO DYSLEXIA, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH EVERYBODY? YEAH, I JUST THESE ARE REALLY LOW.

I MEAN, ON THIS EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL WAS 48.

WE MET 18.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING YOU KNOW WHAT THE BOARD CAN SEE IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE WORKED ON WITH DYSLEXIA THAT ARE TIED TO THE GOALS.

SO REMEMBER, REMEMBER.

AND I KNOW YOU I'M PREACHING TOO.

I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROGRAM.

SO OUR STUDENTS, WE PART OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING RIGHT IS REALLY EARLY IDENTIFICATION.

RIGHT. AND SO EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND THEN ALSO START THE, THE, THE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR OUR DYSLEXIA STUDENTS.

SO I THINK WHAT, WHAT DOCTOR NICHOLS WAS TRYING TO ALLUDE INTO IS USUALLY IT TAKES MULTIPLE YEARS FOR THE STUDENTS TO REALLY LIKE COMPLETE THEIR PROGRAM.

AND THAT'S USUALLY TYPICALLY WHEN YOU SEE THEM, YOU KNOW, SCORING ON OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL.

RIGHT. SO THEY ARE RECEIVING THE SERVICES.

WE ARE TRYING TO HELP THEM.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE PROBABLY WILL BE REPORTING ON IS HOW ARE THEY PROGRESSING, HOW QUICKLY AND SUCCESSFULLY THEY'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH THE DYSLEXIA PROGRAM SO THEY CAN EVENTUALLY BE READING ON OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL.

I MEAN, I DON'T IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOME MORE DOCTOR NICHOLS.

ABSOLUTELY. AND SO WE WILL PRESENT TO YOU DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE REALIZED AND WE'VE REALLY KIND OF COMMISERATED OVER IS THE FACT THAT THE STUDENTS OFTENTIMES IN THE DYSLEXIA PROGRAM.

THEY CAN PERFORM THE SKILL.

THE ISSUE IS FLUENCY.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I PERFORM IT? BECAUSE ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE TIMED.

AND SO WITHIN THAT SPECIFIC GUIDELINE, THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO SHOW UP AS FAR AS SCORING BECAUSE THEY GET TIMED OUT.

SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY AS FAR AS HOW DO WE THEN BRING SOMETHING FORWARD TO YOU TO SHOW HOW THEY'RE PROGRESSING? BECAUSE THIS IS NOT WHAT'S THE WORD? THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DISCRIMINATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SHOW HOW THEY'RE MAKING PROGRESS BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT'S VERY TIME BASED, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THIS PROCESS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO SHOW YOU THAT INFORMATION.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW, WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

CAN I JUST GET CLARIFICATION.

BECAUSE THEY DO THEY GET THEIR ACCOMMODATIONS WHEN THEY DO THE TESTING FOR THIS, I'M ASSUMING THEY GET TIME AND A HALF OR WHATEVER.

THERE. NO, BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT OF THE THING OF THE TEST IS YOU HAVE TO PERFORM IT WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME.

AND SO IT TIMES OUT.

AND SO IT'S NOT POSSIBLE THEN TO BE ABLE BASED ON THIS TEST.

THAT'S WHY WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW YOU PROGRESS A DIFFERENT WAY.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW IT THIS WAY, BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW IT TO YOU A DIFFERENT WAY AS WELL.

THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON, SO IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE ON TO MATH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THANK YOU. AND JUST LIKE AND THIS IS OUR BOARD GOAL TWO WHICH SPEAKS TO EARLY MATH.

AGAIN JUST AS IN EARLY LITERACY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE GOAL IS HOW BASED ON STAR, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR STUDENTS CAN PERFORM AT THE MEETS LEVEL, BECAUSE WE KNOW THEN THERE'S A HIGH CORRELATION WITH THEM BEING MATH READY.

IF THEY'RE PERFORMING AT THE MEETS OR HIGHER, THE BOARD SET A GOAL.

I DON'T THINK I DID THAT. THE BOARD SET A GOAL FOR THIS YEAR FOR US TO PERFORM AT 68% OVERARCHINGLY, AND THEN FOR EACH STUDENT POPULATION, YOU SEE THE NUMBERS THAT EXIST FROM HERE. OFTENTIMES ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S ASKED IS, IS ARE WE SETTING GOALS TOO LOW FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER POPULATIONS? IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE GOAL SETTING, WHAT YOU'LL SEE, THOUGH, IS THAT IT IS NOT THE SAME RATE OF CHANGE FOR EACH AND EVERY GROUP.

AND SO IT IS A HIGHER LEVEL OF SAYING, I WANT THIS GROUP TO GROW EXPONENTIALLY VERSUS OTHERS.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS IN THERE AS WELL, FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE GONE BACK AND STUDIED THE GOALS OVER MULTIPLE YEARS, THE GOAL FOR AGAIN FOR 2024 FOR THIS SPECIFIC BOARD GOAL IS 68%.

AND AS WE GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES, WHICH AGAIN IS SAYING, HEY, WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO AT KINDERGARTEN, FIRST GRADE AND SECOND GRADE IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BOARD GOAL AT THIRD GRADE FOR KINDERGARTEN? FOR EACH OF THESE FOR I'M SO SORRY, KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE.

THE GOAL IS TO REACH 80% BY 2026, AND FOR SECOND GRADE TO REACH 83% BY 2026.

[02:30:05]

FOR KINDERGARTEN, OUR TARGET FOR THIS YEAR IS 74%, 72% FOR FIRST GRADE AND 81% FOR SECOND GRADE.

WE USE FOR OUR EARLY MATH, WE USE A TOOL CALLED AIMSWEB AND WHAT WE USE FOR OUR SCREENER ON AIMSWEB.

UNLIKE OUR OTHER SCREENER FOR READING LANGUAGE ARTS, WE HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT LEVELS.

AND SO BECAUSE THEN IT DOES NOT PERFECTLY CORRELATE TO THEM PERFORMING AT MEETS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, WHAT MISS SIMMONS AND HER TEAM HAS TO DO.

SHE SAID, DON'T ASK ME WHAT MISS SIMMONS AND HER TEAM HAS TO DO IS THEN LOOK AT THE DATA AND SAY, AT THE 40TH PERCENTILE, WHAT STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING AT THE 40TH PERCENTILE AND HIGHER.

AND THAT CORRELATES TO MEET.

SO IT IS NOT AS COOKIE CUTTER AS THE OTHER ONE, WHERE YOU'RE SAYING IF THEY PERFORM AT, AT AND ABOVE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO IN AND PUT THAT MARKER ON THERE AND THEN GIVE THE DATA THAT WAY.

SO IF YOU GO TO A CAMPUS AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEIR DATA, IT WON'T SPECIFICALLY CORRELATE WITH THIS BECAUSE WE HAD TO DO A CORRELATION STUDY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT PERCENTILE DOES IT MATCH UP WITH.

MEETS GRADE LEVEL FOR THE STAR.

AND JUST A SLIGHT NOTE, BECAUSE THE THE STAR HAS BEEN REWRITTEN, WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

AND SO WHILE THIS MATCHED UP WITH WHAT WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY, WE HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK.

AND SINCE THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED EVERYTHING AND LINE UP AND FIGURE OUT IF THE 40TH PERCENTILE IS STILL APPROPRIATE BASED ON THE REDESIGNED A STAR AS WELL.

SO WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK AND PERFORM THAT FOR BOTH READING LANGUAGE ARTS AND FOR THIS FOR EARLY MATH.

AGAIN, HERE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE ARE POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT OUR DATA.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT A LITTLE BIT SIMPLER FROM OUR MATH.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT DONE AS MUCH WORK IN MATH IN REGARDS TO CURRICULUM AS WE HAVE DONE IN READING LANGUAGE ARTS.

AS FAR AS IT RELATES TO EARLY READING LANGUAGE ARTS, OUR REASON BEING IS THAT WE FEEL THAT READING LANGUAGE ARTS AT IN K-2. EARLY LITERACY IS THE GATEWAY TO EVERYTHING ELSE.

IF I'M NOT ABLE TO READ, I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO MATH.

AND SO WE REALLY DO HYPER FOCUS ON THOSE SKILLS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WELL.

SO WE'LL START RIGHT NOW WITH OUR KINDERGARTEN, WHICH IS OUR GPM GOAL PROGRESS MEASURE 2.1.

FOR KINDERGARTEN AGAIN, OUR GOAL WAS TO GET TO 74%.

WE DID NOT MEET THAT GOAL.

WE FINISHED UP THE YEAR END OF YEAR DATA AT 72%.

WE SEE YEAR OVER YEAR THOUGH, A STRIKING AMOUNT OF CHANGE.

OFTENTIMES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE'RE STARTING IN THE SAME PLACE.

IN YEAR 2022 AND SCHOOL.

SCHOOL YEAR, WE STARTED AT 48%.

AND ALSO FOR 2023 AND 2024, WE START AT ABOUT 54, 55, 55%.

SO WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENT WHERE WE'VE STARTED.

BUT WHERE WE SEE IS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN A LARGE AMOUNT OF GROWTH.

WE STARTED AT 61% A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WAS ABLE TO MOVE OURSELVES TO 65% AND THEN TO 72%.

ONE OF THE THINGS TO NOTE, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS WE WANT TO CHANGE, IS WHAT WE SAW.

AND THE DATA FROM PREVIOUS YEARS IS NOT HERE, IS THAT WE ALWAYS HAD A A NEGATIVE TREND WHEN IT CAME TO MIDDLE OF THE YEAR DATA AND THE END THE YEAR OF THE YEAR DATA. WE WERE ABLE IN 2022, 23 TO BREAK THAT TREND WHERE WE STAYED EVEN AND THIS YEAR WHERE WE HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEN WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING WITH THAT DATA, WHERE WE SEE A STRIKING INCREASE THE FIRST SEMESTER, BUT NOT SO MUCH THE SECOND SEMESTER. AGAIN, WE GO BACK AND WE INTERROGATE OUR DATA TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SPECIFICALLY ACTIVITIES, LEVEL OF RIGOR THAT WE'RE DOING WHERE THE KIDS STAY STATISTICALLY UNCHANGED THE SECOND SEMESTER, AND MOST OF THE GROWTH IS BEING RECOGNIZED IN THE FIRST SEMESTER.

BECAUSE OF THIS, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR YEAR OVER YEAR FOR OUR DIFFERENT GROUPS, WE SEE A LOT OF GROWTH AND MANY OF OUR STUDENT POPULATIONS HITTING THE TARGETS SET FOR THEM BY OUR BOARD, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR WHITE STUDENTS AND 500 FOR ALL OTHER STUDENT GROUPS MISSED THEIR TARGETS.

ALL STUDENT GROUPS, THOUGH, EXCEEDED THE 2023 PERFORMANCE EXCEPT THE ASIAN STUDENT GROUP.

AGAIN, WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT IS THAT IDEA OF SECOND SEMESTER.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND INTERROGATE WHAT THE PACING IS AND RETHINK OUR CURRICULUM BASED ON THE PACING.

[02:35:04]

WE ALWAYS GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT IS THE THE HIGHEST POINT OF OF DATA AND RIGHT NOW.

AND WHO OWNS THAT DATA.

SO RIGHT NOW, IF I AM SEEING ACROSS THE ENTIRE DISTRICT, THE SAME TREND, THEN THE DISTRICT THEN SAYS WE OWN THAT DATA BECAUSE IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITHIN OUR CURRICULUM WHERE IT'S CAUSING ALL CAMPUSES, REGARDLESS OF DEMOGRAPHICS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, TO WHERE THE THEY REACTING TO THE DATA IN THE SAME WAY.

SO WE KNOW WE CAN GO BACK AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC CHANGES THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE IN REGARDS TO PACING AND SECOND SEMESTER.

WITHIN FIRST GRADE, WE DID NOT HAVE THE NEGATIVE TREND THAT WE'VE SEEN IN YEARS PAST.

BUT WE SAW THAT WE WERE ALWAYS STEADILY IMPROVING AND YEAR OVER YEAR IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'VE GONE FROM 59% TO 65% TO 69%.

REGARDLESS OF THAT GROWTH, THOUGH, WE SAW THAT WE DID NOT HIT OUR TARGET OF 72%.

GIVEN IT TO US BY THE BOARD.

WE SEE THAT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE END OF THE YEAR, WE DID MAKE SOME REALLY GREAT GAINS WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO GO FROM 53 TO 69%, WHICH REPRESENTS A 13% INCREASE.

AND WE SAW THAT IT'S A REAL STEADY IMPROVEMENT.

FROM BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO MIDDLE OF THE YEAR TO END OF THE YEAR.

SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT TREND.

AND AGAIN, WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY.

FOR OUR ASIAN IMMERSION BILINGUAL AND 50504 STUDENT POPULATIONS ALL MET OR EXCEEDED THEIR TARGETS, BUT ALL OTHER GROUPS UNFORTUNATELY MISSED THEIR TARGETS.

BUT A POINT OF PRIDE IS THE FACT THAT EVERYONE PERFORMED HIGHER THAN IN 2023.

SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND KEEP BUILDING ON THOSE WINS AND FIGURE OUT SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUSH OUR STUDENTS TO HIGHER LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT.

AGAIN, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COHORT DATA FROM KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE, WE SAW THAT THE KINDERGARTNERS ENDED AT 65%.

WE WERE ABLE TO GROW THAT COHORT TO 72%.

SO YEAR OVER YEAR, WE SEE THAT WE HAVE PUSHED THEM TO HIGHER LEVELS AS FAR AS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE.

SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH THAT AND AGAIN, HOPE TO BUILD UPON THAT AS THEY GO FROM GRADE TO GRADE SO THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE MEETS LEVEL WHEN THEY GET TO THIRD GRADE AND BEYOND.

ONE OF THE THINGS TO POINT OUT, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REALLY STUDYING, IS IN CERTAIN AREAS WE SEE MORE OF A DROP OFF THAN IN OTHER AREAS.

SO WHAT THIS REPRESENTS IS GRADE LEVEL, ONE GRADE LEVEL TO THE OTHER, THE KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE TRANSITION OVER TWO DIFFERENT YEARS.

AND WHERE WE SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR ONE YEAR WHERE WE ENDED AT 61% AND THE STUDENTS AND STARTED BACK AT 5,050%, WE SEE ONE YEAR WHERE THEY ENDED AT 65% AND THEY STARTED BACK AT 53%.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING IS WHILE THERE IS SOME LOSS OVER THE SUMMER, THEY ARE RETAINING SOMETHING TO WHERE THEY'RE STARTING HIGHER OVER TIME.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THAT SECOND SEMESTER WAS KIND OF FLAT.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT NOT JUST WHAT WE CAN DO SECOND SEMESTER TO INCREASE THEIR PERFORMANCE OVERALL, BUT TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION A LITTLE BIT BETTER SO THAT THOSE STUDENTS, WHEN THEY GO INTO FIRST GRADE, ARE NOT STARTING AS LOW, AND SO THEY HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO GET TO HIGHER LEVELS WITHIN FIRST GRADE.

WITHIN SECOND GRADE MATH, OUR GOAL WAS TO GET TO 81%.

A GREAT STRETCH GOAL THERE.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THAT.

WE ENDED THE YEAR.

I'M SORRY, I'M NOT SEEING THAT.

I BELIEVE WE ENDED THE YEAR AT 71%.

AND SO WE STARTED AT ABOUT.

I'M SO SORRY, 57%.

AND WE'RE ABLE TO GET TO 71% HUGE GROWTH.

OVERARCHINGLY. BUT AGAIN, YEAR OVER YEAR, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS STATISTICALLY, IT'S REMAINING FLAT.

FROM 67 TO 72 TO 71.

SO AGAIN, A LOT TO UNPACK IN SECOND GRADE FOR BOTH READING LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH OVERARCHINGLY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITHIN THE DATA AND HOW WE CAN REWRITE THAT SO WE CAN.

CAUSE HIGHER LEVELS OF SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE SEE THAT WITHIN FOR SECOND GRADE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENT GROUPS MISSED THEIR TARGETS EVEN THOUGH THEY DID PERFORM HIGHER THAN 2023. AGAIN FOR THE COHORT.

WE WENT FROM A 61% IN THEIR KINDERGARTEN YEAR.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM TO ACHIEVE AT 66% AND THEN AT 74%.

[02:40:02]

SO WE SEE HUGE THINGS HAPPENING WITH THE COHORT OVER TIME AS FAR AS OUR ABILITY TO GROW THEM EXPONENTIALLY.

AND THAT'S A GREAT THING TO SEE WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

AGAIN, OUR HOPE IS WITHIN THE TRANSITION FROM FIRST GRADE TO SECOND GRADE.

WE SEE LESS LOSS.

WE DON'T SEE AS MUCH LOSS HERE AS WE SAW IN FROM THE KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE TRANSITION.

BUT AGAIN, WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE HIGHER LEVELS OF SUCCESS IN THE FIRST GRADE SO THAT WE'RE STARTING THEM AT HIGHER PLACES WITHIN SECOND GRADE AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE MAKE SMOOTHER TRANSITIONS WITHIN THE CURRICULUM.

THAT IS IT FOR OUR REPORT ON EARLY MATH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IT WAS VERY, VERY INSIGHTFUL.

QUESTIONS, TRUSTEES.

ACTUALLY JUST HAD ONE COMMENT BECAUSE I AGAIN WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COHORT DATA, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND REALLY INTERESTING IS WHEN YOU GO BACK, I THINK IT WAS ON PAGE 38.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE STUDENTS THAT WE KEPT THAT HAD US FOR KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST THEY MET GOAL.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S ALSO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT IF YOU'VE STUCK WITH US YEAR BY YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU THERE.

BUT WE'RE ALSO HELPING ALL THOSE OTHER STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING IN THAT DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING BEEN IN KINDERGARTEN WITH US.

SO THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BONE.

I HAVE A QUESTION, MADAM PRESIDENT, ABOUT THEY TALKED ABOUT CURRICULUM AND LOOKING AT CURRICULUM AND THERE'S SOME CURRICULUM ACTUALLY LATER ON OUR AGENDA. SO I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THE ADMINISTRATION COULD EXPAND ON IF THEY'RE LOOKING AT CURRICULUM FOR NEXT YEAR OR IF THE CURRICULUM CHANGES THAT THEY WOULD BE MAKING WOULD BE FOR THE YEAR AFTER.

SINCE WE ARE MAKING THOSE DECISIONS ON PURCHASING CURRICULUM TONIGHT ALSO, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DOCTOR BONE FOR THAT. I'M SO SORRY.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO WAIT. I'M SORRY.

YES. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

I BROKE THE CORE OF MY APOLOGIZE.

NO. YOU'RE FINE. THAT'S A WONDERFUL QUESTION.

ONE OF THE THINGS, AND I DON'T THINK WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT IT THIS YEAR, BUT IT WAS MENTIONED LAST YEAR.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOUND IS WE DON'T HAVE A VERY LARGE CURRICULUM DEPARTMENT.

OFTENTIMES YOU HAVE ONE PERSON THAT'S WRITING CURRICULUM FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD TO CHANGE IS WE HAVE PULLED OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES, BOTH IN DUAL LANGUAGE WORLD AND FOR THE MONOLINGUAL, INTO THE PROCESS AND HAVE ACTUALLY COACHED INTO THEM.

YOU HAVE MR. PORTILLO DOCTOR CARLENE GONZALEZ AND HAVE ACTUALLY COACHED IN THEM TO HELP THEM WITH THAT WRITING PROCESS, TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE THAT, TO ORDER, TO FIX THE CURRICULUM, THE THINGS THAT WE SEE AND REACT TO THE DATA.

OFTENTIMES WHEN THERE IS A REACTION TO THE DATA AND THERE'S AN INTERVENTION, YOU'LL SEE WHERE PEOPLE SPEAK ABOUT STUDENT DATA AND WHAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENTLY WITH THE STUDENTS AND OR THE TEACHERS.

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN AWESOME THIS YEAR, AND REALLY PROUD OF THAT TEAM, IS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA TO SEE WHAT IS THEIR INTERVENTION AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO DIFFERENTLY. SO NUMBER ONE, WE MADE A CHANGE AND SAID THAT WE SPOKE TO THE CAMPUSES ABOUT THIS, THAT WE NEED TO USE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, AND WE PULLED THEM FROM CAMPUSES 1 TO 2 DAYS A WEEK BASED ON OUR NEED, IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THE CURRICULUM WRITING.

YOU HAVE TEAMS WHERE I MAY BE ON THE KINDERGARTEN LITERACY TEAM, READING TEAM.

SOMEONE ELSE MAY HAVE THIS MATH.

AND SO EVERYONE HAS AN AREA.

WE GIVE THEM A SPECIFIC FORMAT, WE COACH INTO THEM, AND THEN AFTERWARDS THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR WRITING THAT CURRICULUM, LOOKING AT THE DATA AND FIGURING OUT BASED ON WHAT THE DATA SAID, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO DIFFERENTLY? FOR THIS YEAR, WE LOOKED AT THAT DATA AND WE ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES.

SO LIKE I SAID, WE SAW THE DATA FOR EARLY LITERACY AND FOR OUR DISTRICT.

WE HAVE SAID THAT IS A HIGH PRIORITY FOR US.

SO WE ALREADY PULLED THAT TEAM AND WE WERE REWRITING THAT K ONE DATA.

AND WE WILL TRAIN INTO IT ONCE WE COME BACK IN THE FALL.

ALSO, WE SPOKE ABOUT DUAL LANGUAGE AS FAR AS HOW WE LOOK AT THINGS PROGRAMMATICALLY AND WHAT THE ISSUES ARE THERE.

SO WE WENT BACK THEN AND WE'RE ALSO PULLING THAT TEAM AND WE'RE REWRITING THE WE'RE REWRITING THE CURRICULUM FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

THANKS, ROD. FOR K ONE.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT THE DATA SPECIFICALLY PROGRAMMATICALLY GRADE LEVEL.

AND WE ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES.

SO K TWO IS GETTING A REWRITE FOR READING LANGUAGE ARTS.

DUAL LANGUAGE K ONE IS GETTING A REWRITE FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

[02:45:01]

WE HAVE MATH WHERE THEY'RE GETTING A REWRITE FOR GRADES FOUR AND FIVE.

BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DATA, WE SAW THERE WAS NOT MUCH GROWTH IN FOUR AND FIVE IN MATH VERSUS WE SAW IN READING LANGUAGE ARTS.

SO WE HAVE NOT BEGUN THE WORK IN EARLY MATH BECAUSE THEN WE PRIORITIZE MATH FOR FIVE FOR THAT REASON.

AND IF YOU'VE EVER WRITTEN CURRICULUM, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S DONE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

IT'S A YEAR LONG THING.

AND SO EVEN THIS AS FAR AS WHAT WE HAVE, IS VERY AGGRESSIVE.

AND THAT'S NOT EVEN TO MENTION THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITHIN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

AND SO THEY WENT THROUGH AND BASED ON THE DATA AND DECIDED WHAT THEY WOULD PRIORITIZE.

AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.

AND THEN WE'LL TRAIN INTO THE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED FOR THE NEXT YEAR WITH OUR TEACHERS, WITH OUR DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

LET ME JUST ADD, I THINK TO TO YOUR QUESTION, DOCTOR BONE IS, BESIDES OUR TEAM CREATING SOME OF THIS CURRICULUM OR A LOT OF THIS CURRICULUM IS ALSO WE HAVE TO BUY LIKE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND CONSUMABLES.

THE QUOTABLES THAT'S I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ALLUDING TO.

THAT'S THE STUFF THAT WE PURCHASE.

SO IN ADDITION TO LIKE OUR, OUR, OUR STAFF AND THE SCOPE OF SEQUENCE AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE HAVE TO BUY SOME OTHER RESOURCES FOR OUR TEACHERS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE AS PART OF THEIR LIKE, DELIVERY OF THE LESSONS.

SO THAT'S INCLUDING CONSUMABLES, THE QUOTABLES FOR K THROUGH SECOND GRADE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THAT'S REALLY COSTS MONEY USUALLY BECAUSE IT'S YOU HAVE TO KIND OF PURCHASE THAT AN ANNUAL BASIS AS THE STUDENTS USE THEM.

SO. I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM REALLY IMPRESSED IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA DIFFERENTLY, NOT JUST THE RESULTS OF HOW OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING ON THESE TESTS, BUT ALSO BREAKING IT DOWN BY SEMESTERS.

AND ARE WE SEEING MORE GROWTH IN THE FALL AS OPPOSED TO THE SPRING AND VICE VERSA? AND LOOKING AT THOSE MINUTE ASPECTS OF OUR OF OUR STUDENTS PERFORMANCES AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE THE BUFFET OF THINGS THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO THEM.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY TAKING THIS ANALYSIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD IN THE PAST.

AND SO I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, LOOKING AT THE CORRELATION OF WHERE IS THAT COHORT AT THE END OF THE YEAR PRIOR AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING IN AT THE NEXT YEAR.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THE SUMMER LEARNING LOSS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING THAT TO GET THOSE KIDS UP BACK TO EVEN WHERE THEY WERE? SO I JUST I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY AMAZING.

AND I'M BEING A NUMBERS PERSON, THAT THIS IS REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THAT BEING TRACKED IN THAT WAY.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND AND ALSO A THANK YOU ALSO ON THE COHORT DATA.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

TRUSTEE BONE. YOUR LIGHT IS STILL ON, I DID I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION THAT YOU JOGGED IN MY MEMORY HERE.

MADAM PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND, IF WE LOOK AT THE DATA TO THE LEVEL OF HAVING LIKE, CLASS SIZE.

LIKE, DOES CLASS SIZE AFFECT, YOU KNOW, HOW THESE STUDENTS ARE SCORING? I WAS WONDERING IF THE ADMINISTRATION HAS IT TO THAT GRANULARITY.

I'LL LET DOCTOR AZAIEZ ANSWER THAT ONE.

WE WE OBVIOUSLY LOOK AT IT.

DOCTOR BONE AS FAR AS TEACHER AND I MEAN, WE LOOK AT IT DISTRICT WIDE, THEN WE LOOK AT IT AT CAMPUS WIDE, THEN WE LOOK AT IT BY TEACHER.

SO WE DON'T REALLY RUN THE DATA BASED ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WE HAVE PER CLASSROOM.

BUT CERTAINLY IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME US SOME TIME TO RUN IT.

BUT I THINK IT'S PROBABLY AND I'M LOOKING AT ERICA, SOMETHING WE CAN PROBABLY RUN.

RIGHT. THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN RUN, BUT WE DON'T REALLY LOOK AT IT BASED ON CLASS SIZE.

WE LOOK AT IT BY TEACHER AND ALSO BY SCHOOL.

OKAY. THAT'S I THAT WAS MY QUESTION IS HOW WE LOOKED AT IT.

AND IF WE DID LOOK AT IT AT CLASS SIZE, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE SOME WAIVERS ASKED FOR NEXT YEAR.

SO IT WOULD IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN THOSE DECISIONS TO UNDERSTAND IF CLASS SIZE AFFECTS OUR OUR SCORES.

AND JUST A LITTLE FOLLOW UP ON THAT, I WOULD THINK IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING HOW WE LOOKED AT CLASS SIZE JUST BECAUSE STUDENTS COMING IN AND LEAVING DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO IF YOU WOULD LOOK AT AN AVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO IT WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER FACTOR TO PUT INTO MARVELOUS ERICA'S DATA ANALYSIS.

NOW IF, IF WE EVEN GO THAT ROUTE.

BUT YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY THERE'S SO MANY FACTORS THAT IMPACT STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

SO CLASS SIZE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON.

AM I MISSING ANY LIGHTS? THEY SEEM TO BE A LITTLE INTERMITTENT TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO OTHER LIGHTS ON, IT'S 932.

[G. DISCUSSION ITEMS (Part 2 of 2)]

WE WILL GO TO AGENDA ITEM G ONE BOARD STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS, TIME TRACKER.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN VERY MUCH, DOCTOR NICHOLAS, FOR PRESENTATION.

BOARD STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS, TIME TRACKER FOR MAY AND I WILL TURN IT TO TRUSTEE MARKUM FOR HER PRESENTATION OF THE DATA.

THANK YOU. OKAY, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR THE MONTH OF MAY, WE HAD 0.77% SPENT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES.

[02:50:02]

WHICH IS NOT GREAT.

WE HAD FOUR MEETINGS IN MAY.

AND WE WERE STILL LESS THAN A PERCENT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES.

HOWEVER WE HAD A LOT OF BUDGET DECISIONS TO MAKE, AND A LOT OF OUR REPORTS WERE BASED AROUND BUDGET IN THOSE FOUR MEETINGS.

SO THAT FACTORS INTO WHY OUR PERCENTAGE ON STUDENT OUTCOMES IS SO LOW BASED ON LONE STAR GOVERNANCE.

ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES? MADAM CHAIR, COULD SHE NOT HAVE ROUNDED IT TO ONE? TWO DIGITS IS STATISTICALLY STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.

ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THE CALCULATIONS FOR THAT.

I KNOW THAT IT'S TEDIOUS KEEPING TRACK OF THAT AT ALL THE MEETINGS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JUST A REMINDER OF WHAT WE NEED TO BE FOCUSING ON.

NEXT ITEM IS G THREE FIRST READING OF POLICY DEC LOCAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

LEAVES AND ABSENCES.

AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR AZAIEZ AND MISS HILL.

YEAH WELL THANK YOU PRESENTATION ACTUALLY YES CINDY AND EDDIE WILL TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE A BEREAVEMENT POLICY IN OUR DISTRICT. SO ACTUALLY TONIGHT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT A BEREAVEMENT POLICY FOR OUR STAFF MEMBERS WHO, AS YOU KNOW, ONE THINGS UNFORTUNATELY HAPPENED.

THEY NEED TO BE ABLE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT.

IT'S THE FIRST READING FOR THAT POLICY.

LET ME GO AHEAD AND START, AND THEN I'LL LET EDDIE GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON PAGE THREE OF THIS POLICY, WE ARE JUST ADDING JUST ONE SHORT PARAGRAPH AND ONE EXTRA LINE.

WE'VE BEEN THE THE REASONING BEHIND DOING THIS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, EDDIE CAN CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE WANT TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE THIS BENEFIT TO OUR EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS. WE HAVE REVIEWED SURROUNDING DISTRICTS, AND THIS IS FAIRLY STANDARD FOR THEM.

SO I'LL LET EDDIE TELL YOU WHAT HE'S FOUND ON THAT.

YES. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

SO THE LAST TIME WE DID A MAJOR POLICY CHANGE FOR DEC LOCAL WAS WHEN WE INSTITUTED THE CATASTROPHIC SICK LEAVE BANK, WHICH HARD IT AS HARD AS IT IS TO BELIEVE, IS ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. SO THIS IS ANOTHER WE TRY TO EVERY SO OFTEN GO BY AND REVIEW POLICIES FROM SURROUNDING DISTRICTS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN LINE WITH WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING.

SO THROUGH OUR PROCESS THIS SPRING, WE REALIZED THAT FOUR OF SEVEN LOCAL PEER DISTRICTS THAT WE COMPARE TO HAVE A BEREAVEMENT POLICY IN PLACE.

AND SO IN ORDER FOR US TO KIND OF STAY IN TUNE WITH WITH WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING, BUT ALSO, LIKE DOCTOR AZZI MENTIONED, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BE RESPONSIVE IN TIMES OF NEED FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, WE WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND TO PUT FORTH A POLICY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PROVIDE A BEREAVEMENT LEAVE.

OUR CURRENT PRACTICE IS WHEN AN EMPLOYEE HAS TO BE OUT FOR BEREAVEMENT.

THEY HAVE TO MAKE USE OF THEIR LOCAL LEAVE.

SO THAT'S THE LEAVE THAT ALL EMPLOYEES IN OUR DISTRICT RECEIVE.

AND SO THIS WOULD REPLACE THAT UP TO A TOTAL OF THREE DAYS FOR BEREAVEMENT.

AND SO THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THAT WOULD BE THE THE EMPLOYEE WOULD NEED TO BE ABSENT OBVIOUSLY FROM WORK.

AND ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO VALIDATE THE OCCURRENCE, OBVIOUSLY WE'D WORK WITH THE EMPLOYEE ON THAT, WE WOULD GO BACK AND RESTORE THAT LEAF TO THEM AND RECODE THE LEAVE ESSENTIALLY, SO THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR ACCRUALS REINSTITUTED OR SORRY, RE BROUGHT BACK TO THE NORMAL.

IT'S LATE. SORRY, BROUGHT BACK TO WHAT THEIR NORMAL LEVEL WOULD BE PRIOR TO THE BEREAVEMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THAT? TRUSTEE. HARRISON.

NO QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR THIS POLICY.

YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT STATE FUNDING AND IT'S TOUGH, BUT THINGS LIKE THIS ARE VALUE ADDED, AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE HUMANITY OF OUR STAFF AND REALLY SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN PLACE. SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THESE STEPS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? TRUSTEES TRUSTEE BONE.

I WOULD JUST MAKE THE QUICK COMMENT THAT I ASKED ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS IN THIS, AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THOSE WEREN'T WRITTEN YET.

SO BY SECOND READING, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REGULATIONS WOULD BE ON THIS.

MAYBE I SHOULD UPDATE THAT.

IF YOU LOOK ON THE BOARD DOCS, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A DRAFT OF THE REGULATIONS THAT HAS BEEN ATTACHED.

OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. JUST TO CLARIFY, TRUSTEE BONE, THOSE ARE IN DRAFT FORMAT RIGHT NOW, SO THEY'RE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON INPUT FROM THE BOARD.

AND SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO FINALIZE THOSE OBVIOUSLY, UNTIL THE POLICIES IN PLACE ONCE THE POLICY IS.

APPROVED AND WE WOULD PUT THOSE IN PLACE AND HAVE THOSE FINALIZED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE HARRISON THAT I'M GLAD YOU GUYS CAUGHT THIS AND ARE UPDATING IT.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD.

[02:55:01]

I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON.

SO WE'LL GO TO AGENDA ITEM G.

FOR FIRST READING OF POLICY EIC LOCAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

CLASS RANKING.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO ASK BYRON TO JOIN US UP AT THE AT THE TABLE, JUST IN CASE YOU OR NATALIE, EITHER ONE OF YOU, JUST IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN'T ANSWER, BUT I BELIEVE I CAN.

WHEN WE RECENTLY HAD ADOPTED THIS POLICY, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAD ADOPTED IT IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR AFTER THERE HAD BEEN QUITE A BIT OF COMMUNITY INPUT.

AND WHEN BYRON AND NATALIE'S TEAM WERE REVIEWING THE POLICY, THEY NOTED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN ALONG POLICY FOR US WHICH IS CURRENTLY CONTAINED, BOTH OUR COURT OUR COURSE CATALOG AS WELL AS IS ON OUR WEBSITE AND HAS BEEN A PRACTICE AT ROUND ROCK SINCE AS LONG AS WE CAN REMEMBER, IS THAT ANY GRADES, EVEN IF YOU TAKE A HIGH SCHOOL CLASS IN JUNIOR HIGH, YOUR YOUR GRADE POINT AVERAGE AND YOUR RANKING CLASS IS ONLY DETERMINED BY THOSE CLASSES THAT YOU TAKE FROM YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR ONWARDS.

SO IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, NATALIE CAN EXPLAIN THAT.

BUT WHAT WE'RE BRINGING HERE TODAY IS SHOULD BE NOTHING NEW FOR OUR FAMILIES, OUR PARENTS.

BUT WE WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT BY PUTTING IT DIRECTLY IN THE BOARD POLICY.

ALL RIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NO LIGHTS ON.

I WILL NOTE TRUSTEES ON AGENDA ITEM G3 AND G4.

THESE POLICY ITEMS, IF THERE'S NO FEEDBACK, THEY WILL GO ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

AT A FUTURE MEETING. I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT'S GOING TO LAND RIGHT NOW, BUT IF ANYTHING, ANY QUESTIONS ARISE BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN IT ARISES ON ANOTHER AGENDA.

GET THOSE QUESTIONS IN SO ADMINISTRATION CAN ADDRESS IT.

OTHERWISE IT'LL BE ON A CONSENT AGENDA.

OF COURSE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT TO PULL SOMETHING OFF CONSENT.

BUT THE PLAN WILL BE FOR FINAL ADOPTION TO BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

AND WE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO ENSURE THAT WE ADOPT A DC AND AND EIC BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS SO THAT WE CAN PUT THOSE INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE OUR TEACHERS COME BACK.

SO WHEN THEY COME BACK, THEY WILL HAVE THE CLARIFICATION ON BEREAVEMENT LEAVE.

AND I IMAGINE DECK WOULD ALSO BE PART OF A RECRUITING EFFORTS TO BE ABLE TO MENTION THAT IF WE'RE LOOKING TO RECRUIT TO OUR DISTRICT, IS THAT CORRECT? JUST ANOTHER ONE OTHER BENEFIT THAT WE HAVE.

POSSIBLY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE WILL GET THOSE APPROVED SOMETIME OVER THE SUMMER.

[H. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION BY CONSENT]

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS H ONE THROUGH 11.

I'LL NEED A MADAM PRESIDENT.

YES. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEMS H ONE THROUGH H 11 ON CONSENT AGENDA SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? TRUSTEE WESTON.

YEAH, I HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH CONSENT TONIGHT, SO I'LL BE VOTING NO.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A BRIEF EXPLANATION ABOUT WHY NUMBER ONE.

THE H10.

THERE WERE SOME STUFF IN THERE REGARDING THE CURRICULUM THAT.

I'M JUST NOT FOR.

ALSO, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED FROM THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE EXPLANATION FOR ITEM SEVEN REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ADVISER CONTRACT, BECAUSE I ACTUALLY ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT IT, AND I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS A VERY TRANSPARENT WHERE CHANGING THE FIRM.

BUT IT'S THE SAME EXACT FINANCIAL ADVISER INDIVIDUAL AND THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO THE BOARD.

I JUST DON'T HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

AND SO I WILL BE VOTING NO ON IT.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

TRUSTEE BONE.

YES, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT I WILL ALSO BE VOTING NO ON CONSENT.

AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH I CAME TO REALIZE THAT H7 ALSO THE FIRM THAT HAS BEEN CHOSEN HAS ONLY BEEN AROUND FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN A YEAR, ACTUALLY.

AND TO MANAGE A SCHOOL DISTRICT THE SIZE OF ROUND ROCK.

I THINK THIS IS A RISK THAT I'M NOT NOT WILLING TO TAKE.

AND THEN ALSO IN THE.

LET ME FIND THE NUMBER.

WELL, WHERE IS THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR? THERE. IT IS ALSO.

I'M TRYING TO FIND ALL THE NUMBERS HERE.

CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT.

THERE IS A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

NOPE, IT'S NOT THAT.

ANYWAYS, IT IS. UNDERNEATH ONE OF THESE IS AMPLIFY.

K THROUGH 12.

AND IT WAS KIND OF HIDDEN IN HERE.

[03:00:01]

AND A EXCEL WORKSHEET WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER $500,000 OR MORE PURCHASES.

AND I WOULD ALSO NOT BE FOR AMPLIFY.

AND THAT WAS ALSO WITH MY QUESTION EARLIER REGARDING THE CURRICULUM.

AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE CONSUMABLES.

BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I HEAR A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM TEACHERS THAT LOTS OF TIMES THOSE CONSUMABLES ARE NOT USED IN THE CLASSROOM, AND THEN THEY SIT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE. THEY'VE NEVER BEEN UTILIZED, AND THEY JUST EITHER SEND THEM HOME WITH STUDENTS.

AND SO THAT'S A PURCHASE THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH.

SO FOR THOSE REASONS, I'LL BE VOTING NO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON, SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 2.

[I. ACTION ITEMS (Part 2 of 2)]

WE ARE TWO. AGENDA ITEM I TWO DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ADDITIONAL PAID LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2022 THROUGH 2027 DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PLAN AND RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL PAID LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES.

AND I WILL HAVE DOCTOR AZAIEZ GIVE US SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS.

AND YEAH, SO, SO GOING ALONG RETENTION RETENTION OF OUR STAFF AND TAKING CARE OF OUR STAFF AND IF WE NEED TO OBVIOUSLY RECRUIT IS ALSO HOPEFULLY WILL HELP US ALSO RECRUIT.

IT'S US THINKING ABOUT IDEAS OUT OF THE BOX, AS YOU KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET, WEIR WAS A VERY TIGHT BUDGET.

SO WE'RE UNABLE REALLY TO GIVE A BIG RAISE THAT RAISE THAT OUR STAFF AND TEACHERS RESERVE THIS YEAR.

SO WE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING OUTSIDE THE BOX.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND SHOW GRATITUDE AND AND CARE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO LET EDDIE TALK ABOUT THIS.

THIS I HOPE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL ENCOURAGE OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF AND, AND SHOW THEM AGAIN THAT HOW MUCH WE CARE FOR THEM.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN, EVERYBODY.

SO YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR.

WE LAUNCHED OUR YOUTH WELL-BEING PROGRAM IN THE DISTRICT IN 2020.

SORRY. 20 2022.

THANK YOU. EDDIE. AND YOU ALSO MAY BE AWARE WE HAVE 6500 EMPLOYEES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE LAUNCHED OUR YOUTH WELL-BEING PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES WAS WE HAVE 6500 EMPLOYEES, AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS DIFFERENT NEEDS.

EVERY ONE OF THEM ACCESSES WELL-BEING IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

BUT WHAT EVERYBODY DOES BENEFIT FROM IS TIME.

TIME OFF FROM WORK, RIGHT? I MEAN, EVERYBODY CAN ACCESS WHATEVER THEY NEED TO IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES THROUGH A DAY OFF.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT OUR CALENDAR WITH OUR SCHOOLS OFFICE AND TEACHING AND LEARNING TO KIND OF IDENTIFY TWO POTENTIAL DAYS THAT WOULD HAVE THE LEAST IMPACT ON STUDENT INSTRUCTION.

RIGHT? WE REALLY WANTED TO PROTECT THE CLASSROOM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, NOT TAKE TIME AWAY FROM INSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO ENSURE THAT STAFF WERE ABLE TO ACCESS A DAY AT A TIME THAT WOULD MAKE MOST SENSE FOR OUR DISTRICT.

AND SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM OR HAVE BEEN AROUND TEACHERS, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THE FALL WALL.

AND THAT'S THE PERIOD IN OCTOBER WHERE YOU START AS A TEACHER IN AUGUST, AND YOU GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THANKSGIVING BREAK WITH NO BREAK.

AND SO OCTOBER IS THE LONGEST MONTH IN THE FALL SEMESTER BECAUSE THERE REALLY ISN'T A DAY OFF AS SUCH FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT A DATE.

IS THERE A DATE IN OCTOBER THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY? THAT WOULD BE A GOOD DAY FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT TO POTENTIALLY BE CLOSED.

WE ALSO LOOKED THEN IN THE SPRING SEMESTER.

SO THE SPRING SEMESTER IS LONGER TYPICALLY THAN THE FALL SEMESTER IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS THAT WE HAVE.

AND THERE ARE LESS LESS HOLIDAYS PER SE FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF AS WELL.

SO THE PERIOD BETWEEN JANUARY REALLY FROM MLK THROUGH SPRING BREAK, THERE ISN'T A BREAK.

AND SO THAT FEBRUARY MONTH CAN BECOME A REALLY LONG MONTH WHEN THERE'S SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING AS WELL.

AND SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF TO RECHARGE THEIR BATTERIES, BECAUSE THAT IS A IT'S NOT ONLY IT'S A LONG SEMESTER, BUT IT'S A REALLY CRITICAL SEMESTER IN TERMS OF STUDENT LEARNING, BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF TESTING AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COME UP.

SO WE TRY TO IDENTIFY THOSE TWO DAYS WITH THE GOALS BEING, HOW COULD WE HAVE AS MINIMAL IMPACT ON INSTRUCTIONAL TIME AS POSSIBLE? HOW COULD WE INCLUDE AS MANY EMPLOYEES AS POSSIBLE IN THE TWO DATES? RIGHT. SO THERE WAS AS LITTLE DISRUPTION AS POSSIBLE.

WE WOULD ALSO WANT TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE FOR EMPLOYEES WHO DON'T NECESSARILY WORK ON THOSE DATES.

SO YOU MAY ALSO BE AWARE WE HAVE 32 SERVICE CALENDARS IN OUR DISTRICT, WHICH MEANS THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WHEN PEOPLE WORK AND WHEN THEY DON'T.

AND SO THERE IS A SMALL GROUP OF EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T WORK ON THE OCTOBER 4TH AND THE FEBRUARY 17TH DATE.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'D ACCOUNTED FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES TOO, GIVEN THEM, GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS YOU DAYS AS WELL.

WHILE ALSO NOT HAVING ANY ANY IMPACT ON THE CLASSROOM.

THE LAST THING WAS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO, AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, PROVIDING A DAY OFF FOR EMPLOYEES, WHICH IS CONSISTENT, AND IT IS ON A DAY WHEN ON A MONTH WHEN THEY TYPICALLY WOULDN'T HAVE THAT HOLIDAY.

[03:05:03]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT IS IT'S REALLY HARD IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO TAKE A DAY AND WHEN THE REST OF THE DISTRICT IS STILL WORKING, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU EITHER JUST JUST THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE NEEDS OF, OF OUR STUDENTS, THE NEEDS OF PARENTS, THE NEEDS OF OUR DEPARTMENTS AND THE WORK THAT HAS TO GET DONE, IT'S HARD TO GET AWAY. AND SO IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DECIDED WE.

WAIT. WAIT UP.

IS IT BETTER TO GIVE STAFF DAYS? OR IS IT BETTER TO CLOSE THE DISTRICT SO EVERYBODY CAN ACCESS THOSE DAYS AND THE DISTRICT CAN BE CLOSED FOR THAT PURPOSE? SO THAT WAS THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE DAYS.

OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM, WE TOOK THAT AWAY.

AND REALLY WADE WADE THE BEST OPTIONS FORWARD WITH THAT.

AND THIS IS KIND OF WHERE WE LANDED.

SO THERE'S YES SIR.

GO AHEAD. NO NO GO AHEAD AND I'LL LET YOU DOWN.

SORRY. SO THE BENEFIT TO THIS IS FROM THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE, THERE'S MINIMAL BUDGET IMPACT.

THERE'S A SMALL GROUP OF EMPLOYEES WHO DON'T ACTUALLY WORK ON ANY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON A SOLUTION FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM AN ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY TO BE ABLE TO, TO TAKE AS WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE BUDGET IMPACT.

BUT THAT'S A VERY SMALL GROUP OF EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY EMPLOYEE IN OUR SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO ACCESS OUR YOU DAYS BECAUSE EVERY EMPLOYEE IN OUR SYSTEM IMPACTS STUDENT LEARNING AND IMPACTS STUDENT OUTCOMES IN THEIR IN THE ROLE THAT THEY HAVE IN THE DISTRICT.

SO I JUST WANT TO ADD TO WHAT EDDIE SAID.

SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND.

NUMBER ONE, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE REQUIRED BY TO TO HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MINUTES, LIKE OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MINUTES RIGHT WITH US SO THAT THAT NUMBER OF MINUTES IS ACTUALLY PROTECTED, MEANING LIKE BY GIVING THIS TWO EXTRA DAYS THAT WILL NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE NUMBER OF MINUTES.

SO THAT SO IN OTHER WORDS, OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF MINUTES AND NUMBER OF DAYS AS FAR AS THE INSTRUCTION.

THE SECOND THING IS ALSO AS YOU AS I JUST MENTIONED EARLIER, OBVIOUSLY WE WANTED TO GIVE A BIGGER RAISE.

AND SO WE THINK WE THOUGHT THIS WILL BE, WILL BE SINCE WE CANNOT AFFORD IT AT LEAST THIS YEAR.

IS THIS WILL BE A BETTER TO GIVE A GIFT OF TIME.

AND I REALLY LIKE OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF REALLY TO HAVE ONE DAY EXTRA AN OFF DAY, I GUESS, IN THE IN THE FALL AND ANOTHER ONE IN THE SPRING TO GIVE THEM A BREAK AND GIVE THEM SO THEY CAN RECHARGE AND COME BACK.

RIGHT. ONE THING ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW BY STATUE OUR TEACHERS, TEACHERS INSTEAD OF TEXAS, THEY HAVE TO WORK EXACTLY 187 DAYS BY STATUE LIKE. WE CANNOT EVEN HAVE THEM WORK LESS THAN THAT.

THE ONLY WAY WE CAN HAVE THEM WORK LESS THAN THAT IS FOR US TO GO THROUGH WHAT'S CALLED DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PROCESS.

AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE DISTRICT OF INNOVATION, BUT THAT WAS NEVER WAS PART OF OUR DISTRICT OF INNOVATION.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU AN AMENDMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF INNOVATION.

SO WITH BOARD APPROVAL, WE CAN SUBMIT THIS TO, TO AS AN AMENDMENT AND HOPEFULLY TO ALL OF YOU WILL APPROVE IT.

BUT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO ALLOW OUR TEACHERS TO WORK LESS THAN 187 DAYS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW AND FOR YEARS, RIGHT, THAT'S BEEN THE STATUE AND THAT'S BEEN THE REQUIREMENT ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

TEACHERS MUST WORK 187 DAYS.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WRITTEN IN THE STATUE.

THANK YOU, SIR. AND JUST TO JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT DOCTOR AZZI WAS TALKING ABOUT, THIS WOULD HAVE NO IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES PAYS AN EMPLOYEE'S PAY, THEY WOULD WORK TWO LESS DAYS ON THEIR SERVICE CALENDAR, BUT THEY WOULD STAY AT THE SAME ANNUALIZED SALARY FOR FOR EACH OF THOSE EMPLOYEES.

SO THIS IS THE MECHANISM THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN THIS YEAR.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, AGAIN, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EMPLOYEES NEED TO RECHARGE THEIR BATTERIES.

THEY NEED TIME AWAY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND IN ORDER TO BE THEIR THEIR MOST SUCCESSFUL SELVES AND TO BE THEIR BEST SELVES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AND THIS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT WITH VERY MINIMAL BUDGET IMPACT.

AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY.

TRUSTEE. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 2022 2027 DISTRICT OF INNOVATION PLAN AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL PAID LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION.

A SECOND, ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? TRUSTEE BONE. MADAM PRESIDENT, I DID HAVE A QUESTION.

WHEN I READ THIS.

I WAS THINKING THIS ONLY APPLIED TO TEACHERS AND STAFF ON THE CAMPUS.

NOW THAT I'M HEARING WHAT MR. KERN SAYING, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS APPLYING TO ALL DISTRICT STAFF EVEN ADMINISTRATORS.

YES, MA'AM. THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S INCLUDES OUR BUS DRIVERS, THAT INCLUDES OUR CUSTODIANS.

THAT INCLUDES ANYBODY WHO WHO HAS LIKE A ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT HAPPENS INSIDE OUR SCHOOLS.

DOES IT ALSO INCLUDE ADMINISTRATION THOUGH? SO MOST OF THE FOLKS SITTING IN THIS ROOM, EVERYBODY? YES, ALL STAFF, EVERYBODY, I MEAN, ADMINISTRATORS ARE SUPPORT STAFF, CONSIDERED SUPPORT STAFF.

SO AS SOMEBODY THAT'S WORKED AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND I UNDERSTAND IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE BUDGET PER SE.

[03:10:09]

BUT IF YOU TAKE TWO DAYS OFF, THAT IS MONEY TO THE COMPANY.

AND THE FACT THAT WORK WAS NOT DONE THAT NEEDED TO GET DONE.

AND I DO UNDERSTAND IF TEACHERS DON'T HAVE STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE ABILITY FOR THEM AND THEY WORK A LOT AT HOME.

GETTING THINGS DONE.

BUT ON THE ADMINISTRATION SIDE, THERE ARE REGULATIONS.

THERE'S THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO BE FILLING OUT.

SO I, I ACTUALLY AM NOT FOR SURE THAT I AGREE WITH GIVING ADMINISTRATORS TWO DAYS OFF.

AND IF YOU HAD TO DO THE ANALYSIS, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT'S ACTUALLY.

A LOT OF MONEY.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

SO IT WAS THAT JUST A STATEMENT OR WAS THAT A QUESTION? IT WAS IT WAS A STATEMENT.

BUT I MEAN, THE QUESTION WOULD BE, DID YOU DO THE ANALYSIS? I MEAN, HOW MUCH IS IT FOR THE DIFFERENT LEVELS AND HOW MUCH IS IT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TO BE TAKING OFF FOR TWO DAYS? DO WE KNOW THAT NUMBER? SO BECAUSE AGAIN.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT YOU SAID FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT THE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THE WORK WILL BE DONE.

I MEAN, WE HAVE. WE HAVE LIKE VERY HARD WORKING STAFF MEMBERS.

I MEAN, WE HAVE STAFF WHO, YES, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK, BUT THEY'RE NOT WORKING 40 HOURS A WEEK.

THEY'RE WORKING 50, 60, SOMETIMES MORE.

RIGHT? DEPENDING ON DEPENDING ON WHAT'S HAPPENING THAT WEEK OR THAT MONTH.

SO, I MEAN, I KNOW, I KNOW BECAUSE I SEEN THEM, I SEE HOW HOW LONG THEY WORK, OUR APS, OUR PRINCIPALS, THEY'RE CONSIDERED ADMINISTRATORS TOO.

I MEAN, THEY WORK, THEY GO ATTEND FOOTBALL GAMES, THEY GO ATTEND ATHLETICS EVENTS, YOU KNOW? SO I MEAN, FOR US TO SAY, YOU KNOW, ALL THIS CAN TAKE THESE TWO DAYS AND THEN THIS GROUP CANNOT TAKE IT TO ME.

IT JUST HOW ARE WE GOING TO HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THAT THAT CUT.

LIKE HOW ARE WE GOING TO SAY, YEAH, YOU GUYS ARE GOOD.

BUT THIS THIS GROUP HERE IS NOT BECAUSE I REALLY BELIEVE THAT ALL OUR STAFF ARE HARD WORKING, AND THEY REALLY WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE JOB IS DONE, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY DAYS THEY HAVE TO WORK.

THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE.

SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? TRUSTEES. OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, AND I'LL JUST SAY I SUPPORT THIS ACROSS THE BOARD.

I'VE BEEN UP HERE MANY TIMES, AND STAFF ARE WORKING UNTIL EIGHT, 9:00 AT NIGHT, AND THEY HAVE MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS, AND THE DAY DOESN'T END AT 5:00.

SO I SUPPORT THIS FOR ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED.

ABSTAINING. MOTION CARRIES 501.

WE ARE TO ITEM I THREE.

APPROVAL OF NOMINATION FOR THE WILLIAMSON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICTS, ALSO KNOWN AS W CAD.

TRUSTEES. WE RECEIVED TWO.

BEFORE I TAKE A MOTION TO START THE DISCUSSION OR ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING, I WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

WE RECEIVED TWO RESUMES FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE INTERESTED IN HAVING THEIR NAME PUT FORWARD.

THIS IS THIS POSITION IS ONLY OPEN BECAUSE SOMEONE WHO CURRENTLY SERVES ON THE W CAD WAS SERVING AS AN APPOINTED POSITION.

THIS INDIVIDUAL RAN FOR ELECTION AND WON AND IS NOW IN AN ELECTED TERM.

AND SO THE SEAT THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL HAD IS NOW VACANT.

THAT SEAT IS UP FOR APPOINTMENT IN 4 OR 5 MONTHS, I BELIEVE.

AND SO WHOEVER IS FILLED BY THIS APPOINTMENT PROCESS THAT W CAT IS GOING THROUGH WILL ONLY SERVE IN THAT POSITION FOR FIVE MONTHS BEFORE IT GOES BACK TO IT.

UNLIKE OTHER TIMES WHEN DISTRICTS HAVE SUBMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PREVIOUS TIMES, WE SUBMIT A NAME OF SOMEBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN SERVING. THEY GO IN THE BALLOT, WE ACTUALLY GET TO HAVE A A PERCENTAGE OF THE VOTES AND PUT OUR VOTES AS A DISTRICT.

WE DO HAVE A SUPERMAJORITY ON THE W CAD BECAUSE WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST, IF NOT THE LARGEST TAXING ENTITY FOR W CAD.

SO PRETTY MUCH WHOEVER WE VOTE FOR TENDS TO GET ON THE BOARD.

WE WILL NOT HAVE A VOTE IN THIS PROCESS.

WE ARE MERELY SUBMITTING A NAME FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER FOR W CAD BOARD TO CONSIDER.

THEY MAY TAKE OUR CONSIDERATION, THEY MAY THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW.

THEY MAY HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY WANT TO CONSIDER.

BUT ALL THIS PROCESS IS, IS FOR US TO NOMINATE A NAME FOR THE W CAD TO CONSIDER FILLING A 4 TO 5 MONTH POSITION UNTIL THE NORMAL POINTING AND VOTING PROCESS WORKS.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THE PAST, AND WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY SAY WHO ACTUALLY ENDS UP IN THIS POSITION FOR THOSE FIVE MONTHS.

HAVING SAID THAT, WE HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS, CHAD CHADWELL AND LISA BERKMAN, WHO HAVE SUBMITTED INTEREST IN SERVING AS AND BEING OUR NOMINATION OF SOMEONE WHO IS INTERESTED.

SO I WOULD NEED A MOTION.

AND I DIDN'T SEE WHOSE NAME WAS PUSHED FIRST.

[03:15:03]

SO I'LL GO WITH TRUSTEE.

WESTON IS THERE A LANGUAGE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA? OKAY. WHILE I'M WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT, I NOTICED ON THE AGENDA THAT THE DOCUMENTS WE RECEIVED FROM BERKMAN AND CHADWELL ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA.

SO, MADAM CHAIR, CAN WE HAVE THAT? I MEAN, IN THE SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY, THE PUBLIC CAN THAT BE ADDED? I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S.

WE HAVE WE DONE THAT IN THE PAST? I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE DONE THAT.

WE'RE VOTING ON PEOPLE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE.

AND THE PUBLIC CAN'T EVEN SEE WHAT WE RECEIVED, WHICH INFORMS OUR DECISION MAKING.

I WOULD THINK. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

I WANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, I GUESS, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

ANY OTHER FEEDBACK ON ANYBODY OPPOSED TO POSTING THOSE DOCUMENTS? I DON'T SEE ANY. OKAY, THEN WE'LL GET THOSE.

JUST I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL HAVE SEEN, BUT IF THERE'S, LIKE, ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, WE'RE GOING TO BE REDACTING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YEAH. ANY REDACTIONS I THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

SO I'M.

OKAY. SO IS IT ONE OF THESE IS THE LANGUAGE ONE OF THE.

OH I SEE. UNDER RECOMMENDED ACTION.

OKAY. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL AS ROUND ROCK ISD'S NOMINEE FOR THE 2024 UNEXPIRED TERM ON THE WILLIAMSON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CHAD CHADWELL.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

TRUSTEE. WEIR. I HAVE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

WHAT IS YOUR SUBSTITUTE MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING LISA BERKMAN AS ROUND ROCK ISD'S NOMINEE FOR THE 2024 UNEXPIRED TERM ON THE WILLIAMSON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SECOND. OKAY, SO I HAVE A MOTION.

I HAVE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO IS VOTE TO SEE IF WE EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER IT.

YOU'RE NOT VOTING FOR OR AGAINST IT.

JUST GOING TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT MOTION FIRST.

SO ALL IN FAVOR.

YEAH, WE CAN DISCUSS IT.

YEAH. YOUR LIGHT'S NOT ON.

OKAY, NOW IT IS TRUSTEE. WESTON.

SO THE REASON THAT I NOMINATED CHAD CHADWELL, AS I BELIEVE MISS BURKMAN IS NOT A RESIDENT OF ROUND ROCK ISD.

I BELIEVE SHE'S A RESIDENT SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTY, BUT NOT ROUND ROCK ISD.

SO IF I COULD GET SOME HELP UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S SUPPORT FOR HER.

MR. CHADWELL HAS BEEN ON THIS BOARD IN THE PAST, SO IF YOU COULD JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

SHE'S MY FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

I WILL JUST SAY AND SO I.

FEEL LIKE SHE WOULD BE THE BETTER PERSON TO SERVE THIS 4 OR 5 MONTH TERM.

IT'S NOT LIKE SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CENTRAL DISTRICT WORKS AS A FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

TRUSTEE HARRISON. YOUR LIGHT WAS ON.

DID YOU TAKE. OKAY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL VOTE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON. I'M TRUSTEE BONE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR LIGHT'S NOT WORKING.

YEAH. IT'S NOT.

SORRY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE THE COMMENT THAT IN THE PAST, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DO THE CAD AND THE CAD, AND IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD ACTUALLY A STIPULATION THAT THE PERSON HAD TO BE IN ROUND ROCK ISD.

SO THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.

THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN THE COUNTY.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST MAKING SURE.

SO THAT IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE DO TCAT AND W CAD THAT THAT DOESN'T COME IN AS A QUALIFIER BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS THAT HAS BEEN USED BY PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD TO EITHER IT'S JUST MY RECOLLECTION.

SO I, I THINK WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE VESTED IN ROUND ROCK ISD THAT WE PUT FORWARD.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I SECONDED THE MOTION FOR FOR CHAD CHADWELL.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CONSIDER A SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

ALL IN FAVOR OF CONSIDERING THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 2.

NOW WE WILL VOTE ON THE SECOND MOTION.

THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION. AND THIS WOULD BE TO MAKE LISA BERKMAN OUR NOMINATION, OUR NOMINEE FOR ROUND ROCK ISD.

SO ALL IN FAVOR OF MAKING LISA BERKMAN OUR NOMINEE FOR THE WQAD BOARD OF DIRECTORS, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 2.

SINCE THAT MOTION PASSES THE FIRST MOTION IS NULL AND VOID.

IT IS 1002.

WE ARE ON TO BOARD BUSINESS.

[J. BOARD BUSINESS]

I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THERE'S A LOT OF MEETINGS ON THE ON YOUR CALENDAR, TRUSTEES.

AND LIKE I SAID, I DON'T HAVE RESPONSES FROM THE, THE SEVERAL PEOPLE.

SO PLEASE GO BACK AND CHECK SPECIFICALLY JULY 11TH AND JULY 18TH.

[03:20:04]

JULY 18TH WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE A TEAM OF EIGHT AND EQUITY TRAINING.

THINK THAT'S NOT GOING TO POSSIBLY HAPPEN BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING SCHEDULING ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACTORS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THAT.

BUT I AM HOPING TO TURN THAT INTO AN ALL DAY BOARD.

I MEAN, BOND CITIZENS BOND REVIEW MEETING SCHEDULED, I THINK TENTATIVELY 10 TO 5 OR 10 TO 4.

WE COULD ADD ANOTHER MEETING FOR THE EVENING IF WE NEEDED TO.

BUT IF I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO BE HERE, WE'LL FEED YOU.

AND BUT I'M TRYING TO GET THAT AS A 10 TO 4 MEETING FOR AN ALL DAY.

WE HAVEN'T HAD AN ALL DAY MEETING IN A REALLY LONG TIME, BUT WE GOT A LOT OF STUFF TO CONSIDER.

THE JULY 25TH MEETING WAS CANCELED BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET A QUORUM.

WE ALSO HAVE A TENTATIVE DATE OF AUGUST, THE FIRST BEING HELD TO DISCUSS THE BOND CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE'S REPORT.

AND THEN WE HAVE A GRIEVANCE TO BE HEARD ON AUGUST 8TH.

AND THEN AUGUST 15TH WILL BE TWO DAYS AFTER THE START OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR FOR OUR AUGUST REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

SO IF YOU ALL COULD UPDATE YOUR RSVP FOR THAT, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

TWO ADDITIONAL MEETINGS THAT ARE SCHEDULED ARE TUESDAY, JULY 9TH AND TUESDAY, JULY 23RD.

WE ARE HOSTING BOARD CANDIDATE INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS.

THESE WILL BE VIRTUAL.

THEY WILL BE COORDINATED THROUGH OUR LSC COACH, DOCTOR MCMAHON.

AND WE WILL HAVE 1 TO 2, POSSIBLY THREE TRUSTEES ATTENDING.

AND THESE MEETINGS ARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN POSSIBLY FILING FOR A SEAT TO RUN ON THIS BOARD.

WE HAVE THREE SEATS COMING AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER.

AND SO IT'S A REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR JOB IS AS A TRUSTEE, WHAT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE, ALSO TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

AND SO THOSE ARE ON, LIKE I SAID, TUESDAY, JULY 9TH AND TUESDAY, JULY 23RD, I HAVE ONE TRUSTEE THAT'S AVAILABLE ON THE NINTH AND TWO THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE 23RD.

SO IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO JUMP IN ON THAT, THE FIRST DAY TO FILE TO GET YOUR NAME ON THE BALLOT IS JULY THE 20TH, AND IT CLOSES APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER. I DON'T HAVE THE CLOSING DATE ON THAT, BUT INTERESTING TIMES COMING UP.

SO SOME INFORMATION MEETINGS IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, WELL, I HAVE TWO MORE THINGS.

WE HAD A TASB CONFERENCE LAST WEEKEND CALLED SUMMER LEADERSHIP, AND I AM VERY PROUD OF SEVERAL OF OUR TRUSTEES WHO DID PRESENTATIONS. ROUND ROCK ISD PRETTY MUCH ROCKED THAT CONFERENCE.

TRUSTEE ZÁRATE. HE'S NOT HERE, BUT I'M STILL GOING TO THROW SOME PROPS HIS WAY.

HE RAN A SESSION CALLED.

YES. AND TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL BOARD SERVICE TRUSTEES LANDRUM, HARRISON AND MARKUM, ALONG WITH DOCTOR AZAIEZ.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE GOVERNANCE FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.

THAT WAS AMAZING. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT OUR WORK ON ALL FOUR OF OUR BOARD GOALS.

VERY WELL RECEIVED.

ACTUALLY HAD SOME PEOPLE COME BACK AND SAY THEY WANTED TO BUY OUR DATA AND NOT OUR DATA, BUT THE WAY WE ANALYZE OUR DATA AND OUR DASHBOARD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST AMAZED AT THE WAY THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT DATA IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING.

AND THEN I RAN A SESSION WITH DAVID CAMPBELL ENTITLED GETTING BOARD MEETINGS OUT OF THE DITCH, ADVANCED MEETING MANAGEMENT TOOLS.

AND THAT WAS PRETTY EXCITING, MY FIRST TIME TO RUN A SESSION, SO IT WAS PRETTY EXCITING.

DOCTOR AZAIEZ WILL TALK ABOUT OUR STAFF THAT ALSO PRESENTED AT SUMMER LEADERSHIP, BUT ROUND ROCK ISD WAS ROCKING THE CONFERENCE.

IT WAS REALLY EXCITING.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST EXCITING BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SOME GREAT THINGS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS I'VE HAD SOME REQUESTS FROM TRUSTEES ABOUT CONFERENCES.

HAVE KIND OF A BREAKDOWN.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE SHEET, BUT WE ARE IN A BUDGET CRUNCH.

SO AS WE'RE LOOKING AT CONFERENCES FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR, I WANT US TO BE REALLY JUDICIOUS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE ATTENDING, WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO GET OUT OF IT, AND WHAT WE'RE ESPECIALLY HOPING TO BRING BACK TO THE DISTRICT.

SO AS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT, WE DO HAVE SOME CONFERENCES BUDGETED IN OUR BOARD BUDGET, BUT I WOULD BE FINE IF WE LEFT SOME OF OUR MONEY IN OUR BUDGET AND WAS ABLE TO RETURN IT BACK TO THE DISTRICT FOR OTHER USES FOR STUDENTS.

BUT COMING UP, WE HAVE THE TEXAS CAUCUS FOR BLACK SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS IN FEBRUARY, GOVERNANCE CAMP IN MARCH? YEAH. MARCH. SLI NEXT JUNE.

NASA IN APRIL.

RAISE YOUR HAND. TEXAS SUMMIT IN AUGUST.

MEXICAN AMERICAN SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION IN SEPTEMBER AND TACITUS BY END OF SEPTEMBER.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CONFERENCES THAT TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN VOICING SOME INTEREST IN.

[03:25:03]

BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING MINDFUL ALSO ABOUT THE MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING.

SO THAT'S THE END OF MY ANNOUNCEMENTS.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR AZAIEZ FOR HIS ANNOUNCEMENTS.

AND THEN TRUSTEES, IF YOU HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS.

GREAT. YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO YES, JUST TO ECHO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE SUMMER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE, I THINK ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE THAT YOU MENTIONED, WE HAD ALSO DOCTOR GUERRERO, NANCY GUERRERO, OUR AREA SUPERVISOR AT CEDAR RIDGE.

DOCTOR LOIS OUR COUNSELING SERVICES DIRECTOR, AS WELL AS DOCTOR NATALIE NICHOLS HERE.

THEY WERE THERE ALSO, AND ALSO PETER, OUR DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND SECURITY, CYBER SECURITY.

THEY DID A LOT OF GREAT WORK SHARING ALL THE ALL THE BEST PRACTICES AND THINGS THAT WE DO IN HERE.

AND AGAIN, THERE WAS VERY MUCH RECEIVED, POSITIVELY RECEIVED BY, BY THE AUDIENCE.

I JUST WANT TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW, BUT WE HAVE ABOUT 100 OF OUR ACTUALLY STUDENT MUSICIANS FROM ROUND ROCK HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND.

ACTUALLY, THEY'RE TRAVELING TOMORROW TO LONDON, AND THIS EVENT IS CALLED LONDON BAND WEEK, WHICH IS REALLY LIKE IT'S YOU CANNOT JUST GET IN LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE INVITED TO BE PART OF IT.

AND IT'S, IT'S VERY PRESTIGIOUS EVENT.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE SUPER PROUD.

I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD OUR DRAGONS ACTUALLY TRAVELING.

BAND IS TRAVELING TO LONDON, ISN'T IT? THE FIRST AMERICAN BAND THAT'S BEEN INVITED? I TEXAS, I THINK FIRST TEXAS BAND.

I KNEW WE WERE THE FIRST TEXAS EVENT, FIRST TEXAS BAND EVER BEING INVITED.

SO IT'S. YEAH. SO THEY'LL BE TRAVELING TOMORROW TO THE UNITED KINGDOM, AS I SAID, AND BE DOING LIKE, DIFFERENT SHOWS AND DIFFERENT PERFORMANCES IN AROUND LONDON AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEM.

AND SO THAT'S IT'S ALSO TELLS A LOT ABOUT OUR PROGRAM AND OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS WHO ARE WORKING VERY HARD, ALONG WITH OUR PARENTS AND BAND BOOSTERS.

I MEAN, IT TAKES A VILLAGE, OBVIOUSLY, EVERYBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.

JUST A COUPLE OTHER THINGS, REALLY. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU GUYS LONGER, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR BOARD FOR FOR THE AMENDMENT APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TONIGHT.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A LONG GO, A LONG WAY OF, AGAIN, SHARING AND SHOWING OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF HOW MUCH WE CARE FOR THEM.

AND IT'S A SMALL TOKEN OF APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

WE RECEIVED AND I KNOW WE'LL SHARE WITH THE BOARD OUR EOC DATA.

OBVIOUSLY THAT DATA IS STILL VERY MUCH NOT CLEAN BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE LIKE ALL DATA IS NOT THERE YET.

SO WE STILL WORKING ON IT.

BUT SO FAR IT'S LOOKING AT LEAST AT THE EOC SCORES.

IT LOOKS LOOKS WE'RE WE ARE IMPROVING.

AND SO WE ARE ON THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

WE ARE BE SHARING THE THREE THE EU AND THE EOC, THE START THREE THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE DATA ALSO AS WELL AS WE GET MORE MORE DETAILS.

JUST KEEP IN MIND AGAIN THAT WE STILL KIND OF RAW BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE MISSING LIKE START ALL DATA AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO AND TO OBVIOUSLY WON'T COME UP WITH THE OFFICIAL, ALL THE OFFICIAL STUFF UNTIL PROBABLY DOWN TOWARD THE END OF THE SUMMER PROBABLY, OR MAYBE EVEN SEPTEMBER, WHO KNOWS.

BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT.

AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN THE SUMMER.

WE HAVE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS GOING ON.

WE HAVE SUMMER SCHOOL GOING ON.

WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF AND STUDENTS ACTUALLY ENGAGING IN A VARIETY OF THINGS.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IT'S SUMMER, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SUMMER.

LIKE, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE HARRISON.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

I HAVE THREE THINGS.

NUMBER ONE, I WOULD BE REMISS SOMEBODY REMINDED ME DURING BREAK TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OUR STAFF THAT STAYS LATE FOR CBC.

SO THEY COME IN VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THEY HAVE BEEN GOING TO ALL OF THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE MEETINGS UNTIL NINE, 10:00.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE PASS THAT RESOLUTION.

SO I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR YOUR COMMITMENT THAT IS OVER AND ABOVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I WANTED TO SAY HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.

AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY ALONG WITH THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, BUT 41% OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE. AND SO EARLIER IN PUBLIC COMMENT, SOMEBODY SAID $653 OF TAXPAYER EXPENSES OF $653 SAVES ONE LIFE OF OUR STUDENTS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT.

A MAJORITY OF LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE REPORT BEING VERBALLY HARASSED AT SCHOOL, AND SADLY, AT LEAST, IT'S SAD IN MY OPINION.

I HAVE WITNESSED SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES HARASSING ONLINE, BOTH STUDENTS AND STAFF.

POINT OF ORDER.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT? ARE WE IN? ARE WE CASTING ASPERSIONS ON COLLEAGUES OR IS THIS A DON'T MENTION ANY NAMES? OR IS THIS IS THIS BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS? YES, IT IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

SHE'S MAKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BOARD ANNOUNCEMENT TO ME.

IT IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT. YOU'RE NOT.

THANK YOU. AS I WAS SAYING, I JUST WANT TO AFFIRM AND CONTINUE TO SAY HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, I.

PERSONALLY, THIS IS MY PERSONAL FEELING.

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE ATTACKS AND THE BIGOTRY FROM SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES.

I WON'T NAME NAMES, BUT SOMETIMES A HIT DOG HOLLERS.

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED BY THAT BECAUSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[03:30:01]

POINT OF ORDER. WHAT IS YOUR POINT? THIS SEEMS VERY AGGRESSIVE TO ME.

WHERE'S THE. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING I CAN RULE.

WHERE'S THE DECORUM? MADAM CHAIR, I JUST CALLED FOR DECORUM BEFORE YOU EVEN CALLED FOR POINT OF ORDER.

I DIDN'T HEAR THAT. SHE DID CALL FOR DECORUM.

I CALLED FOR DECORUM AND SHE SAID THANK YOU.

POINT OF ORDER. WHAT IS YOUR POINT? I'M JUST GOING THROUGH THE AGENDA, MADAM PRESIDENT.

AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WHICH ITEM IS THIS IN RELATION TO? WELL, WE AS I ANNOUNCED, WE'RE ON ITEM J ONE, AND SHE'S MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS.

AND CAN YOU CLARIFY WHAT HER ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR THE FOR THE REST OF US? WELL, I'M NOT DONE. I WAS LISTENING AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS SAYING HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.

KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LIKE, CEDAR RIDGE THEATER, THINGS THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF THAT'S GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT.

SO HER ANNOUNCEMENT IS ABOUT PRIDE WEEK, A PRIDE MONTH.

SO POINT OF ORDER HAS BEEN RULED ON.

IT'S NOT DEBATABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

PLEASE ALLOW TRUSTEE HARRISON TO FINISH.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

82% OF LGBT STUDENTS REPORT FEELING UNSAFE IN SCHOOLS.

SO IF IN ROUND ROCK ISD, WE CAN DO OUR SMALL PART OF MAKING SURE THAT STUDENTS FEEL RESPECTED, ACCEPTED AND PROTECTED, I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THAT AND THAT IS MY OPINION.

SO HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, ESPECIALLY TO THE MANY STUDENTS AND STAFF WHO CAME BY THE TABLE AND FAMILIES.

THAT SAID, I FEEL SAFER IN ROUND ROCK ISD BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE AND AS PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GROW ENROLLMENT, THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.

SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TO THE OFFICE OF ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY FOR SHOWING UP FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR YOUR PRESENCE AT JUNETEENTH.

AS YOU ALL MAY KNOW, OUR COMMUNITY WAS ROCKED BY VIOLENCE AT THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION IN ROUND ROCK, AND IT IS DEVASTATING. IT HAS IMPACTED OUR COMMUNITY BEYOND THE DEATHS.

THE DEATHS ARE DEVASTATING, AND I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY SOLIDARITY AND JUST GRIEF, ALONG WITH THE FAMILIES THAT ARE NOW WITHOUT THEIR LOVED ONES. BUT I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR THE DISTRICT'S QUICK RESPONSE.

I REACHED OUT VERY LATE.

I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR A WEDDING, AND THE DISTRICT ALREADY KNEW, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAD STUDENTS IMPACTED AND THERE WERE STAFF THERE, AND THEY KNEW THAT ALL STAFF WERE SAFE. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

IN MOMENTS OF CRISIS, OUR DISTRICT STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF ROUND ROCK AND ROUND ROCK ISD.

THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BONE.

THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE TWO THINGS.

MY FIRST IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT, AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ANNOUNCE MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE DISTRICT FOR PARTICIPATING IN AN EVENT THAT HAD SEXUALIZED DRAG QUEENS, DANCING AND TAKING MONEY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN AT THE EVENT, AND THAT THE DISTRICT SPENT OVER $600 ON THIS EVENT.

THAT DOES NOT AFFECT THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN INSIDE THE WALLS OF ROUND ROCK ISD, AND I JUST AM SO DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHOICES THAT THE ADMINISTRATION MADE OF ATTENDING THAT EVENT.

AND REALLY AM APPALLED THAT THERE WERE, AGAIN, CHILDREN HANDING DRAG QUEENS THAT WERE DANCING SEXUALLY MONEY, AND THAT OUR DISTRICT SUPPORTED THAT AND WAS THERE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, APPARENTLY.

AND I HOPE WE MAKE BETTER CHOICES IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN MY SECOND IS ACTUALLY IS THIS THE TIME FOR AGENDA ITEM, FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS ALSO? I'M SORRY, SAY THAT AGAIN.

IS THIS ALSO THE TIME FOR J1 ALSO ASKED FOR A FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? YEAH, BUT I HAVEN'T DENIED ANY AGENDA ITEMS. ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE DENIED MY AGENDA ITEM.

I HAVE THE EMAIL RIGHT HERE, AND I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.

I MOVE SINCE YOU DID NOT APPROVE MY G1B ON TRUSTEE WEIR, I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION THAT G ONE BE MOVED FORWARD WITH TRUSTEE WEIR AND ACTION OR A AGENDA ITEM BE MADE ON A FUTURE AGENDA.

JUST FOR CLARITY. WAIT.

GO AHEAD. IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT? YEAH, THERE'S A SECOND.

I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, THAT TRUSTEE BONE HAS ACCUSED TRUSTEE WEIR OF HAVING A FAKE FACEBOOK PROFILE. AND WE SOUGHT LEGAL ADVICE.

LEGAL ADVISED. I'M NOT GOING TO PUT THAT IN HERE, BUT BOARD RECEIVED WHAT THE LEGAL ADVICE WAS AND BASICALLY OUR, OUR G1B AND BOARD THE PROCESS IN OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES SAYS THAT IT IS FOR BEHAVIORS THAT ARE DEMONSTRATED AND HAVE HAPPENED NOT AS A HUNTING EXPEDITION FOR THINGS THAT YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

AND SO WHEN I ASKED TRUSTEE BONE FOR ANY PROOF, SHE SAID, NO, WE ARE NOT HERE FOR A DEBATE, SO WE CAN'T HAVE ANY COMMENT.

THIS IS NOT POSTED.

ALL WE CAN DO IS VOTE ON WHETHER SHE WANTS TO, IF WE WANT TO OVERRULE MY DECISION TO DENY THAT AGENDA ITEM, BUT WE CANNOT

[03:35:09]

DISCUSS IT AT ALL. WE ARE NOT POSTED TO DISCUSS IT HERE.

POINT OF INQUIRY.

WHAT IS THE INQUIRY? MY QUESTION IS, IF THIS IS DENIED, IS IT DENIED FOREVER? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

POINT OF INQUIRY. WHAT IS YOUR POINT? MAY I CORRECT YOU, MADAM CHAIR? MAY YOU. WHAT? MAY I MAKE A CORRECTION TO YOUR STATEMENT IN THE FACT THAT I DID NOT DENY EVIDENCE.

I ACTUALLY SAID THERE IS EVIDENCE.

AND WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR ANY KIND OF DISCUSSION.

RIGHT. BUT YOU MISSTATED IN IT AFFECTS YOU SAID I DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY EVIDENCE AND THAT'S IN WRITING, BUT WE ARE NOT POSTED TO DISCUSS ABOUT IT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING THAT YOU STARTED DISCUSSING.

I WILL TURN OFF THE MICROPHONES.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DISCUSS THIS, WE ARE NOT POSTED TO DISCUSS IT.

IT WILL BE A TOME OF VIOLATION TO DISCUSS THIS ANY FURTHER.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO OVERRULE.

TRUSTEE. WESTON YOU HAVE YOUR LIGHT ON.

YEAH, I, I I'M NOT I DON'T HAVE THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS, BUT ACTUALLY YOU DID BECAUSE THE BOARD GOT ALL OF THE EMAILS FROM TRUSTEE BONE.

AND THE LETTER FROM THE ATTORNEY.

EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS KNOWS EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE YOU WERE GIVEN THIS INFORMATION IN AN EMAIL FROM OUR ATTORNEY.

I DON'T HAVE THE DATE. THAT'S TRUE, THAT'S TRUE.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING IS I JUST DON'T HAVE THE BOARD OPERATING.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE THE THE ISSUE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

IT'S ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO PUT THIS ON AN AGENDA.

OKAY? AND I'M JUST SAYING I DON'T HAVE THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES IN FRONT OF ME THAT OUTLINE THE PROCESS.

THE PROCESS IS YOU ASK THE BOARD OFFICE, THE BOARD PRESIDENT, FOR TO PUT IN AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

IF THE BOARD IF THE BOARD PRESIDENT DENIES IT, YOU BRING IT TO THE BOARD FOR A OVERRULE OF MY OPINION.

AMBER YOU AND I AND A FORMER TRUSTEE WROTE THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ON THIS TOPIC.

IT WAS THE THREE OF US. WE HAD A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT DID THIS.

AND NO, RIGHT HERE IN YOUR FOLDER YOU HAVE A.

OKAY, WELL, IF I CAN RECLAIM MY TIME, I'M HAPPY TO LOOK IT UP.

BUT I DON'T RECALL THERE BEING ANYTHING IN THERE THAT SAID YOU HAD TO RUN THE DECISION BY THE THE BOARD ATTORNEY FOR AN OPINION.

I MEAN, ISN'T THAT THE KIND OF THING THAT GETS HASHED OUT WHEN THE AGENDA ITEM IS HEARD? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE RUNNING ANY INTERFERENCE, BECAUSE I ALWAYS RUN THINGS PAST THE ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE THE LEGALITY OF POSTING THINGS ON OUR AGENDA. EVERYTHING FOR EVERY MEETING GETS RUN PAST ATTORNEYS FOR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS POSTED PROPERLY, AND THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

EVERY SINGLE THING.

RIGHT. BUT THE PURPOSE OF NO.

THAT'S IT. POINT OF ORDER.

CAN I, CAN I FINISH, PLEASE? WHAT IS YOUR POINT? MY POINT IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE OFF TOPIC AND THIS IS NOT AGENDA.

WE'VE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND AND I DO FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD VOTE.

I'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED. I HAVE MY MY.

BUT WE ARE NOT POSTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCEDURES FOR PUTTING SOMETHING ON AN AGENDA.

YOU ASKED WHERE THEY WERE.

THEY'RE IN OUR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS THAT YOU WE ARE NOT POSTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

WE'RE NOT POST, BUT THERE'S.

WE ARE NOT POSTED, AM I CORRECT? IS THERE ANY LENIENCY IN THIS WHATSOEVER? MICHELLE, IF THE IF THE REQUEST FOR THE AGENDA ITEM HAS BEEN DENIED, THEN ACCORDING TO BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES, THE TRUSTEE CAN MAKE A MOTION DURING BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS TO REQUEST THAT IT BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA.

AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A BOARD, BUT WE ARE NOT POSTED FOR DISCUSSION ON ANYTHING.

YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR THIS.

OKAY, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DISAGREEMENT.

WE'RE NOT POSTED TO EVEN TALK ABOUT SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE ABOUT WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR ANY OF THAT.

THEN HOW DO WE DIALOG ABOUT IT? WE DON'T UNLESS IT GOES ON AN AGENDA.

IF YOU WANT TO ASK FOR AN AGENDA, REQUEST TO TALK ABOUT BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND THE PROCESS FOR WHEN A BOARD PRESIDENT OVERRULES, THEN MAKE THAT AGENDA REQUEST.

WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW DURING BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS.

END OF STORY.

POINT OF INQUIRY.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT? MY. MY INQUIRY IS TO THE LEGAL.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? ONLY IF THEY HAVE A DEBATE ABOUT NOT JUST ABOUT THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM AND HOW TO GET FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. CAN WE TALK ABOUT FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? CAN MAKE YOU CAN MAKE A REQUEST TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA.

SO THROUGH THROUGH THE MOTION AND THERE CAN BE A VOTE NO DISCUSSION.

AND MY ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION I'M SORRY.

YEAH I UNDERSTAND NO DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC OF WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED, BUT CAN YOU MAKE A.

I THINK WHAT TRUSTEE WESTON IS ASKING IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THE PROCEDURAL OF HOW WE GET THIS.

WE CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE PROCEDURAL, RIGHT, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR IT.

SHE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE REQUEST TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT.

OUTSIDE OF THIS MEETING.

TRUSTEE WEIR YOU HAVE YOUR LIGHT ON, CALL THE QUESTION.

[03:40:02]

SECOND, OKAY, ALL IN FAVOR OF ENDING ANY KIND OF DISCUSSION THAT WE'RE PROBABLY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING ANYWAY? RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 2.

ALL IN FAVOR OF PUTTING AG1B ON THE AGENDA, PER THE REQUEST OF TRUSTEE BONE AGAINST TRUSTEE WEIR.

RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION FAILS, 2 TO 4.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS.

DID I MISS ANY? OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.076, THE BOARD WILL

[K. CLOSED SESSION (The Board reserves the right to enter into closed session on any agenda item as permitted by the Texas Open Meetings Act, Section 551.071 et seq.) (Part 2 of 2)]

REVIEW, DELIBERATE AND DISCUSS WHAT GUYS, WHAT YOU GOT TO KEEP IT DOWN UNTIL I FINISH AND ADJOURN US.

PLEASE. LET ME START OVER.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.076, THE BOARD WILL REVIEW, DELIBERATE AND DISCUSS THE SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE REPORT REGARDING THE INTRUDER DETECTION AUDIT FINDINGS.

WE WILL BE HAVING CLOSED SESSION SESSION IN THIS ROOM, SO PLEASE GATHER YOUR BELONGINGS AND THANK YOU FOR COMING.

[L. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS (Part 2 of 2)]

IT IS 1032.

WE ARE BACK IN OPEN SESSION.

DO I HAVE ANY MOTIONS COMING OUT OF CLOSED? MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE ROUND ROCK ISD SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE REPORT AS DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? SEEING NONE O TRUSTEE BONE.

ONE QUESTION I THINK I CAN ASK IN OPEN THAT I DIDN'T ASK IS THE SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE HAS BEEN MEETING.

RIGHT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE I BELIEVE WE'RE WE HAVE AN INTERIM CHIEF AND NO ASSISTANT CHIEF, SO I JUST.
