[E. INTRODUCTION OF MEETING [North Ridge Elementary, Principal Deborah Coulson]]

PRESIDENT TOLBERT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

STINSON, THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NIGHTS LIKE THIS.

IT ALLOWS US TO KIND OF SHOWCASE SOME OF OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS AND BRAG ON THEM A LITTLE BIT. I'M A LITTLE BIT LATER ON IN MY CAREER NOW AND I'VE LEARNED THE IMPORTANCE.

NEVER PASSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLICLY BRAG ON YOUR KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS.

SO I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TWO OF OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS.

THIS IS MADISON RHODES.

SHE IS WITH HER PARENTS, NOT KEITH AND KATINA RHODES.

AND SHE WILL BE DOING OUR PLEDGE TONIGHT FOR OUR MOMENT OF STUDENT EXPRESSION.

THIS IS EDEN BROOKS, AND SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF TONY AND BECKY BROOKS AND HER YOUNGER SISTER SHELBY IS HERE TOO.

SO I WANT TO FIRST START OFF BY SAYING THESE PARENTS, BOTH KEITH AND KATINA AND TONY AND BECKY, THEY ARE EVERYTHING WE WANT AS PARENTS I'VE HAD.

I KNOW KEITH AND CANTINAS DAUGHTERS CAME THROUGH SMITHFIELD.

THEY'RE SENIORS NOW.

THEY CAME THROUGH SMITHFIELD AND TONY AND BECKY'S TWO SONS HAVE COME THROUGH BIRDVILLE, SO I KNOW THE FAMILIES VERY WELL.

THERE ARE EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR AS PARENTS, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB.

YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A GOOD PRINCIPAL.

THAT'S HARD TO DO. SO I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT.

THE OTHER THING I LOVE ABOUT THIS NIGHT DR.

STENSON YOU HADN'T BEEN AROUND VERY LONG, BUT WHEN THEY GIVE ME AN OPEN MIC, SKIP JUST GETS CRAZY AND GETS REALLY NERVOUS.

YOU'RE KIND, YOU'RE NICE TO YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS, YOU'RE GREAT, GREAT STUDENTS, YOURSELVES. AND YOU'RE JUST GOOD PEOPLE.

AND YOU MAKE ME COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMING UP AND FIXING UP THE PROBLEMS THAT MY GENERATION HAS CAUSED.

THERE'S A LITTLE HOPE BECAUSE KIDS LIKE YOU AND YOU MAKE YOUR PARENTS PROUD.

I LOVE THE HECK OUT OF BOTH OF YOU GUYS, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

I DON'T DO THAT ENOUGH AS A PRINCIPAL.

I KNOW I YELL AT YOU ALL, NOT YELL, NOT YELL DR.

THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH FOR COMING UP HERE.

APPRECIATE IT. I JUST WANT TO QUICKLY SAY SOMETHING TO THE GIRLS, TOO.

SO LIKE MR. MCCARTY SAID, WE ARE JUST EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU.

BUT ONE THING I DID NOTICE WHEN YOU GUYS WERE UP HERE EDEN YOUR LITTLE SISTER, RIGHT? IS HER NAME SHELBY? SHELBY, THE WAY SHE LOOKED.

SO SHE'S SO PROUD.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT. GOOD JOB.

THANKS, GUYS. AND YOU GUYS CAN STAY FOR SOME OF THE BORING PARTS OF THE MEETING, OR YOU CAN GO HOME AND WATCH SOMETHING FUN ON TV OR DO HOMEWORK, WHICH I'M SURE.

THANK YOU ALL.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT IS WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP ON OUR GENERAL TOPIC, SO FOR THOSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK REGARDING GENERAL TOPICS, PLEASE NOTE THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED TO THIS FORUM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE SIGNED UP TONIGHT.

MR. JARED ROSS. I THINK YOU HAVE YOUR THREE MINUTES NOW.

OK, I GUESS, PROTOCOL.

CAN SOMEBODY STEP OUTSIDE AND ASK FOR MR. ROSS IF HE'S IN THE HALL? I DON'T WANT TO BE ACCUSED OF NOT ALLOWING SOMEBODY TO SPEAK.

OK, SO IT'S SO AGAIN, I'M CALLING MR. ROSS'S NAME.

WE'VE WAITED, I THINK, AT LEAST A MINUTE.

WE'VE HAD A STAFF PERSON GO OUT IN THE HALL AND ASK FOR MR. ROSS, AND HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON WITH THAT AND DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE SIGNED UP.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2021 ANNUAL FIRST REPORTS MS.

[G. PUBLIC HEARING]

WE HAVE STEVE FRANKS HERE TONIGHT, OUR DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE THAT WILL BE GIVING THE SCHOOL'S FIRST OVERVIEW FOR THE HEARING.

BUT GOOD EVENING, DR.

SWENSON, PRESENT TOLBERT AND THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TONIGHT, I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 2001, 2021 SCHOOL FIRSTS RATINGS RESULTS.

[00:10:12]

IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1999 BY THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY BASED ON TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

IT WAS CREATED FOR THE WITH THE GOAL OF EVALUATING EACH DISTRICT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES.

THIS YEAR'S CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON THE DATA FROM THE 2019-20 FISCAL YEAR.

TEA'S GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY AND RECOGNIZE DISTRICTS THAT ACHIEVE A HIGH PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES TA DOES THIS THROUGH THE MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING THE EXTENT TO WHICH FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE ALLOCATED FOR THE DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES. IT IT HAS DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO FAIRLY EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS.

AND FINALLY, IT'S CREATED A PROCESS FOR THE DISTRICT TO OPENLY REPORT THE RESULTS TO THE PUBLIC. THERE ARE FOUR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS, THERE'S A SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT, BE ABOVE STANDARD ACHIEVEMENT THERE, SEE STANDARD ACHIEVEMENT AND D SUBSTANDARD ACHIEVEMENT. I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE TONIGHT THAT BIRDVILLE ISD HAS EARNED A SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT RATING WITH AN OVERALL SCORE OF NINETY SIX.

THIS IS, IT IS BIRDVILLE ISD HAS RECEIVED THIS TOP RATING EACH YEAR SINCE THE INCEPTION OF FIRST 19 YEARS AGO.

GETTING. THE DISTRICT HAS MET ALL TASB REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING AND ONE OTHER NOTE. FINALLY, I WANT I WANTED TO.

TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT THIS YEAR, TEGA HAS ACTUALLY INCREASED THE NUMBER OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE FIRST REPORT, AND THEY'VE INCREASED THAT FROM 15 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS TO 20.

SO. AND LASTLY, WITH THE FIRST REPORT, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES.

THEY'RE SATISFIED BECAUSE YOU GUYS KEEP DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB, SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD PRESENTATION.

NOW, WITH ALL THAT, WE GET TO THE PRESENTATIONS OF THE BOARD AND MS.

[H1. North Tarrant Express Presentation [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]

YES, SIR. WE HAVE A MR. MARCUS WARREN HERE TONIGHT FROM THE TARRANT NAUGHTIER AND EXPRESS, AND THEY HAVE GENEROUSLY PROVIDED FOUR TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS GIFT CARDS FOR FOUR OF OUR CLASSROOM TEACHERS.

WE CONDUCTED A DRAWING ON FRIDAY, THE 22ND, AND TWO OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS, MR., CHRIS DREES AND MR. RALPH KUNKEL, CAME UP AND DID THE DRAWING.

WE DID LIVE ON FACEBOOK.

WE HAD FOUR TEACHERS SELECTED CAROL MOLINA FROM BIRDVILLE ELEMENTARY, EVA FISHER FROM DAVID E. SMITH, VERONICA FISHER FROM NORTH OAKS MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NANCY CANNOLIS FROM RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

VERONICA FISHER AND CAROL MOLINA ARE NOT ABLE TO BE WITH US TONIGHT, BUT WE DO HAVE THE OTHER TWO TEACHERS, SO I WENT TO INVITE EVA FISHER AND NANCY CANNOLIS UP TO THE PODIUM AND WITH MR. MARCUS WARREN TO RECEIVE THEIR GIFT CARDS.

[00:15:02]

MIC] I MIGHT ADD THAT THE NORTH EXPRESS IS ALSO GOING TO BE DONATING SOME SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO THE DISTRICT AS WELL, SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE GENEROSITY FOR OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU.

MR. WARREN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR EDUCATION, APPRECIATE IT AND THANK YOU.

BOWMAN, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE OUR FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT UPDATE.

[H2. Facilities Condition Assessment Update [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]

WE ALSO HAVE THREE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS, CON AND MASKS AND JOHN HUGHES AND DONNIE BROWN HERE, IF IN CASE THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PARTICULAR AREAS, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO IRENE. THANK YOU, AND GOOD EVENING.

MR. TOLBERT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

STINSON, VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE FACILITY'S ASSESSMENT THAT WE COMPLETED IN THE SUMMER.

SO I'LL GO OVER. THE OVERALL LONG RANGE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS WILL REMIND YOU OF WHAT THE PRIORITIES MEAN IN THE REPORT.

TALK ABOUT THE TOTALS AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW THE SCHOOLS RANK AND CONDITION AND THEN GET INTO THE CATEGORIES AND TOTALS AND GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES.

AND THESE ARE KIND OF ORGANIZED INTO MAINTENANCE AND CONDITION ITEMS AND THEN SOME INSTRUCTIONAL REQUESTS.

AND THEN, AS REQUESTED BY THE BOND PLANNING COMMITTEE, THE LAST TIME WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS FOR SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL.

SO SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS GRAPHIC, THIS IS WHAT WE STARTED USING IN 2014 TO TO OUTLINE THE MASTER PLAN AND SHOW THAT IN A CYCLE OF EVERY FOUR TO FIVE YEARS, YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT AGAIN ASSESSING YOUR FACILITIES AND DETERMINING WHAT NEEDS ARE NEEDED BECAUSE OF PROGRAMMATIC ISSUES OR BECAUSE OF CONDITION.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN, THIS IS A CYCLE YOU CAN SEE 2017, 2021, 2025.

SO THAT THAT'S HOW THAT'S DEVELOPED.

WE HAVE STANDARDS THAT CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED AS YOU MAKE CHANGES IN THE DISTRICT AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE LISTED AND WHAT THIS ALLOWED.

IF YOU SEE ALL THE REPLACEMENT CAMPUSES, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CAMPUSES HAS BEEN REPLACED. AND WHAT THIS ALLOWED WAS A COMMITTEE TO SEE THAT IF SOMETHING DIDN'T MAKE IT AND A BOND OR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE INCLUDED, IT WAS STILL ON A LIST.

SO AS AS YOU PROGRESS, THOSE ITEMS WERE STILL GOING TO BE ADDRESSED.

AND AGAIN, IT INCLUDED ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS, SAFETY AND SECURITY, WHICH YOU DID VERY INTENSELY IN THE LAST FEW BONDS, TECHNOLOGY, WHICH CONTINUES TO BE A NEED AND YOU CONTINUED TO FUND AS PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS.

SO WE STARTED THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT TO UNDERSTAND THE CONDITION OF EACH ONE OF THE BUILDINGS AND DETERMINE ANY NEEDS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

STARTING WITH ITEMS THAT WERE LEFTOVER FROM THE TWENTY EIGHTEEN BOND THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO BE INCORPORATED, AS WELL AS NEW STATE MANDATES AND CODES THAT MAY APPLY TO YOUR SCHOOLS, SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW TEA HAS NEW FACILITY GUIDELINES THAT COME INTO EFFECT NOVEMBER 1ST, SO NEW SCHOOLS WILL HAVE TO MEET DIFFERENT GUIDELINES.

OK, SO WE STARTED BY MEETING WITH KEY DISTRICT PERSONNEL, YOUR DIRECTOR OF FINE ARTS, ATHLETICS, EVERYBODY TO GAIN INSIGHTS INTO WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING TO AS A DISTRICT WHERE YOU'RE MOVING TO. AND THEN WE ISSUED QUESTIONNAIRES TO EACH ONE OF THE CAMPUSES SO THAT THE PRINCIPALS COULD PROVIDE INPUT ON THEIR FACILITIES.

WE THEN HAD TEAMS OF ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND CONSULTANTS WALK EVERY ONE OF THE FACILITIES AND LOOK FOR DEFICIENCIES, LOOK FOR ANY ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ANY CODE ISSUES ADA CONCERNS, LIFECYCLE REPLACEMENTS, YOU KNOW, SYSTEMS THAT ARE ALREADY AT THE END OF THEIR LIFESPAN, AS WELL AS ANY PROGRAMMATIC ISSUES THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. WE ENTERED ALL THE DATA GENERATED COST ESTIMATES AND HAVE GENERATED REPORTS BY CAMPUS. OVER THE LAST TWO ITERATIONS OF THE MASTER PLAN, WE CREATED A DEFINITION OF

[00:20:02]

SO PRIORITY ONES ARE THOSE CRITICAL REPLACEMENTS OF EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEM THAT HAVE A LIFESPAN LEFT OF ZERO TO FIVE YEARS, AS WELL AS ANY CRITICAL PROGRAMMATIC OR CAMPUS NEEDS WITHIN THOSE REPLACEMENTS OR ANY SAFETY ITEMS, ANY SECURITY ITEMS THAT WE NOTICE OR ANY VIOLATIONS THAT NEEDED TO MOVE TO THE TOP.

PRIORITY TWO IS NOW IN SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT THAT HAVE A LIFESPAN LEFT TO FIVE TO 10 YEARS, AS WELL AS ANY PROGRAMMATIC OR CAMPUS NEEDS, AND MAYBE ARE NOT AS HIGH A PRIORITY AS WE RANKED THIS NUMBER ONE.

AND THEN THREE GOES TO 10 TO 15 YEARS AND FOUR IS WHAT WE CALL FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS.

WE WANT TO LEAVE ON THE LIST SO THAT THEY DON'T FALL, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T NEED TO CONSIDER AT THIS TIME.

SO THEN WE TOOK EVERY FACILITY AND DEVELOPED THIS COST ESTIMATES, AND THEN WE DEVELOPED WHAT IT'S CALLED THE FACILITY CONDITIONS INDEX, OR FCI, WHICH IS A BENCHMARK THAT YOU USED TO COMPARE THE RELATIVE CONDITION OF ALL YOUR FACILITIES.

SO YOU LOOK AT YOUR FACILITY, WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO REPAIR VERSUS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO REPLACE AND YOU DIVIDE ONE BY THE OTHER ONE.

AND THAT ARRIVES AT A NUMBER THAT PRETTY MUCH TELLS YOU, YOU KNOW, IT WILL TAKE 60 PERCENT OF THE COST OF THE BUILDING TO REPAIR IT VERSUS REPLACING IT.

SO IT LETS YOU MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE FACILITIES MOVING FORWARD.

WE INCLUDED IN THAT FCA NUMBER, ANY KIND OF SYSTEM DEFICIENCY, AIR CONDITIONING ISSUES, LIGHTING ISSUES, PLUMBING ISSUES, ET CETERA.

ANY KIND OF MATERIAL REPLACEMENTS LIKE FLOORING, REPLACEMENTS, ROOFING, ANY KIND OF CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUES, AS WELL AS ANY SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE FOUND WE DID NOT INCLUDED IN THE FCI NUMBER ANY ADDITIONS TO CAMPUSES FOR, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL STORAGE OR ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM SPACE, AS WELL AS ANY OF THE FINE ARTS OR ATHLETIC ADDITIONS AND OUR RENOVATIONS, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO SKEW THE NUMBER ARTIFICIALLY, WE WANTED TO COMPARE CONDITION TO CONDITION.

SO. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR TOTALS AS A DISTRICT, YOU HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS, WHICH I KNOW LOOKS LIKE A LARGE NUMBER AS A STAR.

BUT THAT INCLUDES ALL THE WAY THROUGH PRIORITY FOUR.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THINGS GOING AS FAR AS 20 YEARS FROM NOW.

SO PRIORITY ONE ITEMS OUT OF NINETY FIVE MILLION AND YOUR PRIORITY TWO GET HER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE MILLION.

AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU CONCENTRATE ON OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. WHEN THEN YOU TAKE YOUR CAMPUSES AND RANKED THEM IN ORDER OF WHO HAS THE HIGHEST FCI VERSUS LOWER? I THINK IT'S NO SURPRISE TO ANYBODY THAT'S SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL RISES TO THE TOP.

AND IF YOU WERE PART OF THE LAST PROCESS, SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL'S PERCENTAGE WAS NOT THAT HIGH, BUT WE HAD TAKEN SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL REPAIRS AND SPREAD IT INTO THAT WHOLE FACILITY, WHEREAS NOW WE'RE TAKING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT REALLY AFFECTS SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL ITSELF, SO WE COULD SEE A REALISTIC NUMBER FOR SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE FCI NUMBERS AT 90 PERCENT.

YOU KNOW, THAT BUILDING IS SEVENTY THREE YEARS OLD, SO IT'S NOT A SURPRISE COMING DOWN THE LIST FROM THAT MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY, WHICH ENDED UP WITH THE PSI OF 76 AND MULLENDORE ROSE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST TIME BECAUSE OF SOME OF STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT HAVE ARISEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

SO THAT NUMBER HAS MOVED UP.

SMITH ELEMENTARY HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.

IT'S BEEN ONE THAT HAS BEEN HANGING FROM THE LAST FEW MASTER PLANTS.

IT'S ALWAYS IN THE DISCUSSION AND THEN FOSTER VILLAGE ELEMENTARY AS WELL, WHICH IS NOT AS OLD A BUILDING, BUT AGAIN IT WAS BUILT OVER A CREEK, SO IT HAS OTHER CHALLENGES TO IT.

THE REST OF THE FACILITIES YOU CAN SEE AS A RANKED FRANCISCO HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE TOP AS WELL. FRANCISCO AND SMITH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE DISCUSSION AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AS THE BUILDINGS GO DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE THE AGE KIND OF MATCHES.

SPICER ELEMENTARY, I KNOW HE'S NOT AS OLD AS SOME OF THE OTHER ONES, BUT AGAIN, IT HAS A LOT OF STUDENTS GOING THROUGH IT.

SO IT'S EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT MORE WEAR AND TEAR THAN MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS. CONTINUING ON THE LIST, YOU SEE AGAIN, SMITHFIELD TWENTY SIX, TWENTY FOUR, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, YOUR NUMBERS DROP PRETTY QUICKLY.

AS A DISTRICT, YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB OF MAINTAINING YOUR FACILITIES.

YOU WALK IN YOUR CAMPUS AS A GRADE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S KUDOS TO JOHN HUGHES AND HIS TEAM. I SEE YOU CAN SEE THE FACILITIES AS THEY DROP AGAIN AS A GAUGE, AND THEN YOU START SEEING ALL THE NEW SCHOOLS THAT ARE SHOWING UP WITH ZEROS OR, YOU KNOW, SMALLER AMOUNTS AND ALL OF THEM.

WE DIVIDED IT ALSO, EVERY BIT OF THE FACILITY'S ASSESSMENT IS ORGANIZED BY CATEGORIES OF AT ANY POINT IN TIME, YOU WANT TO SEE HOW MANY PRIORITY ONE ITEMS OR ARCHITECTURAL THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SORT BY THAT BUILDING ENVELOPE, WHICH DEALS WITH THE WINDOWS AND THE ROOF CIVIL ELECTRICAL.

SO YOU SEE THOSE TOTALS.

OBVIOUSLY, THE LARGEST TWO TOTALS ARE ARCHITECTURAL.

[00:25:02]

SO WE LOOKED AT THE ITEMS WITHIN EACH ONE OF THEM AND TRY TO FIND TRENDS THAT CAME ACROSS A DISTRICT THAT AS WE DID THINGS, WHAT DID WE SEE ACROSS THE BOARD AND THEN IDENTIFIED MUST DO ITEMS WITHIN EACH CATEGORY SO THAT WE CAN START LOOKING AT PRIORITIZING EVEN FURTHER THAN THE PRIORITY ONES AND TWOS, AND THEN LOOKED AT INSTRUCTIONAL RECORDS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE REAL NEED WAS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, ARCHITECTURAL, YOU HAVE SAMPLE ITEMS OR CEILING REPLACEMENTS ACROSS BUILDINGS, LOCKER REPLACEMENTS AND OR REPAIR FURNITURE REPLACEMENTS HAS MADE THE LIST BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN CHANGING FURNITURE AT LIBRARY.

SO WE MADE SURE THAT WE CAPTURE THAT AND THEN SOME FURTHER EDITIONS, KITCHEN ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS.

SO THE KITCHENS THAT WE KNOW THAT NEED TO BE EXPANDED AND PROVIDE WALK-IN REFRIGERATION, WHICH THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE, ARE FRANCISCO, MULLENDORE, SMITH AND SNOW HEIGHTS.

OBVIOUSLY IF YOU CHOOSE OR IF THE COMMITTEE CHOOSES TO DO SOMETHING WITH THOSE SCHOOLS, THESE NUMBERS WOULD GO TO ZERO BECAUSE WE WOULD BE REPLACING THAT AND THEN ALSO EXPANDING THE SERVING AREA AND FOSTER VILLAGE TO HANDLE THE CURRENT CAPACITY AND ITS STUDENT ENROLLMENT. UH, ONE OF THE OTHER TRENDS THAT WE HAVE IS REPLACING ALL REMAINING VINYL TILE ACROSS THE DISTRICT WITH LVT, WHICH IS THE PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE USING NOW AND YOUR NEW SCHOOLS AND RENOVATIONS, WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE WAXING.

SO IT REDUCES YOUR OPERATIONAL COSTS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MOVING A FURNITURE OUT OF THE ROOM AND MOVING IN FURNITURE BACK EVERY SUMMER.

AND WE RANKED THOSE AS YOU CAN SEE, TWOS AND THREES DEPENDING ON CONDITION.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, ANOTHER TREND IS REPLACING THE OLD FURNITURE AND THE CAMPUSES WITH NEW, WE HAVE INCLUDED THAT AS A PRIORITY THREE FOR NOW.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS, IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

BUT WHEN COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS, IT WENT TO A THREE, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S UP TO OTHERS TO REVIEW.

UH, AS FAR AS BUILDING ENVELOPE ITEMS, THESE ARE THE TOTALS, AND THOSE CONSIST OF WINDOW REPLACEMENT WALL REPAIRS ANYWHERE WE SAW DAMAGE TO EXISTING WALLS WE INCORPORATED IN THAT NUMBER AND AS WELL AS ROOFING REPLACEMENTS.

WHEN YOU MOVED TO ROOFING, THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE CONSIDER THAT ARE MUST DOS AND THIS HAS BEEN DONE AND REVIEW WITH JOHN STEAM METAL ROOFING COATING AT ALL THE FACILITIES THAT YOU SEE HERE.

AND THESE ARE ALL PRIORITY ONE ITEMS AND WE'RE PROPOSING COATING THE METAL ROOF RATHER THAN REPLACING IT.

SO IT'S A IT'S A MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAY OF DOING IT, AND IT TRULY EXTENDS THE LIFE OF THE ROOF. AND THEN YOU HAVE FULL ROOFING REPLACEMENT AT FRANCISCO AND NORTHRIDGE SPICER, HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL AND SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL.

WE ALSO HAVE THE RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL PARAPET, COATING REPAIRS WERE SOME OF THE ROOFING HAS SEPARATED FROM THE PARAPET.

SO THOSE TOTAL THIRTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN MUST DOS.

CIVIL ITEMS ARE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WE FOUND WE WERE ABLE TO WALK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER WHERE WE HAD A NICE RAINY SEASON, SO WE WERE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THERE WERE SOME PONDING ISSUES IN THE CAMPUSES, AS WELL AS PAVING ISSUES, PAVING REPLACEMENTS AND THEN COURTYARD IMPROVEMENTS AND YOUR REMAINING BUILDINGS.

SO THE CORE AREAS WERE THE BIG TREND THAT CAME ACROSS THE BOARD, AND SOME OF THESE ITEMS HAVE SHOWN UP ON THE LIST BEFORE THEY'VE BEEN HERE IN PREVIOUS MASTER PLANS.

SO COURTYARD REPAIRS AT BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, IF YOU NOTICE THAT REAR AREA, THE CAMPUS WHERE HOLDS WATER AND CANNOT BE USED, BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ALSO HAS FURTHER CHALLENGES WITH A SMALL CAFETERIA.

MAYBE IF THERE ARE SOME REPAIRS ONTO THIS AREA, YOU CAN EXTEND AND HAVE SOME OUTDOOR EATING OPPORTUNITIES AT THE CAMPUS.

NORTHRIDGE ELEMENTARY IS THE LAST OF THAT MODEL OF SCHOOL THAT HAS THOSE INTERIOR COURTYARDS THAT ARE HEAVING, SO YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR OUT OF THE ROOMS INTO THE SPACE, SO IT'S NOT BEING USED.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS THE HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL COURTYARD, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT'S IN BETWEEN THE CAFETERIA AND THE LIBRARY, AND IT CANNOT BE USED.

IT IS NOT HANDICAPPED, ACCESSIBLE.

THE PAVERS ARE HEAVING.

THERE ARE SOME STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITH IT.

SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS IN FILLING THAT COURTYARD AND MAKING A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CAFETERIA AND THE LIBRARY TO ENHANCE THE USE OF THE LIBRARY AT THE CAMPUS.

MECHANICAL ITEMS ARE MAINLY AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENTS AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, SO THAT YOU CAN ENHANCE AND REPLACE OLD SYSTEMS AND ENHANCE AIR QUALITY AND VENTILATION IN THE SPACES. AND THESE ARE ALL THE AIR CONDITIONING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT CRITICAL

[00:30:05]

THE ONES THAT ARE PRIORITY ONES FOR JUST ONE, THERE ARE PRIORITY 2S AND THESE ARE ALL BEEN REVIEWED WITH THE DISTRICT MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT.

ELECTRICAL AND INCLUDES EXTERIOR LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS FOR IMPROVED SECURITY AND SAFETY AS FAR AS REPLACING THE FEDERAL PACIFIC PANELS, THESE ARE ALL PANELS SAID THERE'S NO THERE'S NO MORE PARTS YOU CANNOT SERVICES YOU CAN'T.

NOBODY WILL COME TAKE CARE OF THEM.

SO IT'S A IT'S A NATIONAL REPLACEMENT THAT IS HAPPENING AND THEN ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AT SOME OF THE OLDER SCHOOLS.

AS THE MUST DOS WE'VE INCLUDED, WE'VE ALIGNED THE SCHOOLS THAT HAD THEIR CRITICAL REPLACEMENTS OR THE MUST DOS FOR AIR CONDITIONING, SO THAT IF YOU'RE GOING IN TO TAKING OUT CEILINGS AND DOING THINGS TO DO AIR CONDITIONING, DO ALL THE ELECTRICAL AT THE SAME TIME. SO BECAUSE IT'S MUCH MORE COST EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE AND IT'S MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND BETTER FOR THE CAMPUSES.

SO THAT'S HOW WE'VE ALIGNED THOSE.

PLUMBING ITEMS INCLUDE A LOT OF DRINKING FOUNTAIN REPLACEMENTS, WHICH HAS A DISTRICT YOU HAVE REPLACED QUITE A FEW WITH BOTTLE FILLERS, BUT THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE REST AS WELL AS FIX YOUR REPLACEMENTS AND RESTROOMS THAT ARE OLDER AND THEN ANY ISSUES WITH WATER PRESSURE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS DOMESTIC WATER REPLACEMENT AS SNOW HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY.

AS YOU RECALL, THIS IS 63 YEAR OLD BUILDING.

ALL THE DOMESTIC WATER PIPING SEWER, ALL THE VENT SYSTEMS NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT PRIORITY ONE, $1.1 MILLION WOULD INCLUDE.

SAFETY AND SECURITY ITEMS ARE MAINLY ADDITIONAL SECURITY CAMERAS THAT WERE REQUESTED BY THE CAMPUSES OR THAT WE NOTICE WERE NEEDED, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL CARD READERS AT EXTERIOR DOORS TO CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE CAMPUS SAFETY PROTOCOLS.

TECHNOLOGY ITEMS INCLUDE ONLY REPLACEMENT OF P.A.

AND INTERCOM SYSTEMS WERE NEEDED.

ATHLETICS ITEMS, SO AS I SAID BEFORE, WE MET WITH CHRIS FARIS AND TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE NEEDS AT THE CAMPUSES AND SOME OF THE NEEDS DISTRICT WIDE.

HE HAD THREE ITEMS, MAINLY ON THE LIST.

THE FIRST ONE BEING PRESS BOXES TO BE PROVIDED AT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS, AND THOSE CARRY A PRICE TAG OF $8 MILLION.

ARTIFICIAL TURF AT HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS. AND THAT'S TO AGAIN IMPROVE THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS FIELDS AND REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITIES AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

AND YOU SEE EACH ONE OF THEM IS ROUGHLY ELEVEN POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.

THIS IS ALTHOUGH THIS APPEARS AS AN ATHLETICS ITEM, IT IS ALSO A FINE ARTS ITEM AS BAND.

IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING THESE FACILITIES SO THAT THEY CAN PRACTICE AS WELL.

THIS IS A POSSIBLE LAYOUT OF WHERE IT COULD GO AT BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD, RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE FAC, SO WE WOULD BE PROPOSING A 200 BY 360 INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY.

SO IT'S 90 YARDS PLUS ONE END ZONE FOR ONE HUNDRED YARDS TOTAL, WHICH IS REALLY THE REQUEST FROM EVERYBODY, BUT MAINLY BAND BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY PRACTICE IN THE FIELD.

IT ALSO INCLUDES A SMALL OFFICE OR TICKET BOOTH, REALLY RESTROOMS, STORAGE AND AN ELEVATED PLATFORM.

SO AGAIN, BAND DIRECTOR AND EVERYBODY CAN MONITOR FROM THERE.

THESE ARE NOT AIR CONDITIONED.

THEY HAVE FANS. THEY HAVE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS, SO LET SOME AIR FLOW.

BUT IT REALLY LETS THE ATHLETES GET OUT OF THE HEAT DURING THE THE REALLY BAD WEATHER TIMES. AT HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL, IT WOULD BE LOCATED IN THE BACK AGAIN CLOSE TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD NEXT TO THE TENNIS COURTS.

AND AT RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL, IT WOULD BE ACROSS THE STREET NEXT TO THE BASEBALL FIELD.

AND THEY'RE ALL PRICED EXACTLY THE SAME, IT WAS SUGGESTED BY DR.

SIMPSON, WHICH I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

THIS IS A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FACILITY.

THERE'S SOME CHEAPER FACILITIES OR MIDDLE AROUND THERE, SOME MORE EXPENSIVE FACILITIES, BUT WE TRY TO GO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO REALLY PROVIDE THE DISTRICT WOULD NEED.

SO THE LAST PIECE IS SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE HERE OR THAT HEARD THAT BOND COMMITTEE THE LAST TIME REALLY WANTED A SOLUTION TO SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL.

IT ROSE TO THE TOP OF THE DISCUSSION.

BUT AT THE POINT IN TIME, THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITY.

THERE WAS NO FUNDING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

SO IT STAYED ON THE LIST AND WE WANTED TO BRING IT BACK SO WE COULD HAVE THE DISCUSSION.

SO ONE OF THE OPTIONS, THE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY IS TO RELOCATE SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL TO THE BIRDVILLE ISD PLAZA DOWN THE STREET AND REPURPOSE THE OLD THEATER BUILDING, WHICH IS STANDALONE AT THE END OF THAT COMPLEX.

[00:35:01]

AS YOU KNOW, SHANNON HAS SMALLER CLASS SIZES BETWEEN 10 AND 15.

IT WOULD HAVE SUPPORT SPACES LIKE ADMINISTRATION, LIBRARY, MULTIPURPOSE ROOM CAFETERIA, KITCHEN, SCIENCE LABS.

WE WOULD ALSO MOVE THERE OR PROPOSED TO MOVE THERE.

THE SPECIAL EDUCATION EDUCATION GRADUATED STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE PROGRAM AND UNTIL THEY'RE TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD, SO IT WOULD INCLUDE SPACES FOR LIFE SKILLS, KITCHEN AND LEARNING SOME OF THE THINGS THEY NEEDED TO GET ON TO SOCIETY.

ALSO, THE SPECIAL EDUCATION BEHAVIOR STUDENTS FROM ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS COULD BE PULLED INTO THIS FACILITY ON A TEMPORARY BASIS, SO THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE SUPPORT STAFF TO MOVE TO THIS CAMPUS AS WELL, AND THEN STORAGE FOR ANYTHING THAT COMES IN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS FOR ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT AND FILES.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET AND THERE'S EXISTING THAT THEATER IS TEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO SQUARE FEET.

SO THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE PLC BUILDING RIGHT HERE.

THE THEATER IS THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S THE EXISTING BUILDING.

SO WE WOULD BUILD TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, EXPANDING THAT FACILITY AND PROVIDING APPARENT DROP OFF, AS WELL AS A BUS LOOP IN THE REAR.

TOTAL COST ESTIMATE AT THIS TIME IS AT ABOUT $27 MILLION FOR THAT REPLACEMENT.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS A FLOOR PLAN, AND JUST TO REORIENT THE RED IS THE EXISTING THEATER THAT WOULD BE RENOVATED INTO SOME OF THOSE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS THE BUILDING COULD HAVE. AND AGAIN, WE DON'T WANT TO.

WE HAVEN'T DESIGNED THIS BUILDING.

WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME OPTIONS, BUT YOU WOULD COME IN AND HAVE ADMINISTRATION AND THEN HAVE THE SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOMS FLANK WHAT WOULD BE AN OUTDOOR COURTYARD THAT COULD BE USED FOR P.E.

OR ART OR OTHER ACTIVITIES.

WE'D HAVE THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, AS WELL AS A CAFETERIA AND KITCHEN FOR THE CAMPUS, SO IT IS CENTRALLY LOCATED SO IT COULD BE USED BY BOTH PROGRAMS. AND THEN ON THE SECOND FLOOR, IT WOULD BE MAINLY CLASSROOMS ASSOCIATED WITH SHANNON HIGH SCHOOL. SO I KNOW I'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT PRETTY QUICKLY.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER THOSE AGAIN, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION BUT.

NO THANKS. LET ME START DOWN THIS END AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

OK. YOU GO DOWN THIS END.

ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.

MS WOMBLE.

SO YOU WERE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE WITH THE ATHLETIC STUFF.

IT'S NOT GOING TO SURPRISE ANY OF THESE GUYS, BUT THE MULTI-PURPOSE FACILITIES I.E.

INDOOR PRACTICE BUBBLES.

WHAT'S KEEPING US FROM GOING THE FULL ANOTHER 10 YARDS OVER THERE ONLY HAVING THE, YOU KNOW, ONE HUNDRED TEN YARDS, WHY NOT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY BY FIFTY THREE? IS IT SPACE CONSIDERATIONS OR WHAT IS IT? AND SOME CAMPUSES, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TIME, AND IT'S MAINLY MONEY.

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO WE WERE TRYING TO BE AS EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE, BUT THAT'S A CONSIDERATION BACK.

SOME OF THE FACILITIES MIGHT BE A LITTLE TIGHTER TO GET IN THERE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN STUDY.

AND IF WE NEED TO ADD ANOTHER 10 YARD OR TO GET THAT, BUT TYPICALLY AT A MINIMUM, YOU DON'T WANT LESS THAN A HUNDRED YARDS.

THAT'S THE MINIMUM YOU WANT TO GO.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO SHOW.

I AGREE. DARRELL.

OK. YES, YES, GO AHEAD.

THIS DOES GIVE US A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR MEETINGS TO COME, AND IT'S REALLY EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED. THANK YOU, IRENE.

I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

JUST A COMPLIMENT.

THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE THE BACKUP TO ALL THIS.

SO REPORTS BY CAMPUS'S REPORTS, ANYTHING, IT'S AVAILABLE.

GOOD, WELL, A GREAT REPORT, AS ALWAYS, APPRECIATE HAVING YOU ON OUR TEAM, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FINANCIAL RANKING.

SO YES, FOR MY OPINION EARLIER.

WE JUST GET SO USED TO IT, YOU KNOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NO THANKS.

STILL WANTED TO HEAR YOUR DETAILED QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF SOME OF THE STANDARDS FOR FIRST, BUT WE'LL SKIP PAST THAT.

ALL RIGHT. MISS BOWMAN, YOU'RE UP AGAIN WITH OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET UPDATE.

[H3. 2021-22 General Fund Budget Update [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]

SO WE ALWAYS COME BACK WITH SOME TYPE OF AN ADJUSTMENT.

SO JUST GIVING YOU A LITTLE UPDATE ON OUR FALL ENROLLMENT.

AS YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN SEEING THE MEMBERSHIP REPORTS FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

STATEWIDE, EVEN ENROLLMENT LAST YEAR WAS DOWN IN TEXAS, ALMOST THREE PERCENT.

[00:40:02]

AND YOU CAN SEE WE WERE NOT IMMUNE TO THAT LAST YEAR AS WELL.

SO 2017 DURING THAT YEAR WAS WHEN THE INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY OPENED AND WE DID LOSE SOME STUDENTS TO THEM.

BUT WE'VE HAD SOME MODEST DECLINES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

BUT YOU CAN SEE IN TWENTY ONE, WE DID HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE LAST YEAR AS PARENTS HAD OTHER OPTIONS THAT THEY TOOK FOR THEIR STUDENTS.

SO FOR THE PROJECTIONS THIS YEAR, AS WE ROLL NUMBERS AND THEN MADE ESTIMATES FOR KINDERGARTEN, PRE-K, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WE WERE HOPING TO BE BACK UP WITHIN MORE OF A NORMAL LEVEL. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE ENROLLMENT AREA WITH THE MODEST DECLINES, IT WAS NOT UNREASONABLE TO THINK THAT FROM THE TWENTY TWO SEVEN THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLIMB BACK UP, YOU KNOW, LOWER THAN WHERE WE WERE IN 20, BUT CERTAINLY ON MORE OF A NORMAL PATH THAT WE HAD BEEN ON IN THE FUTURE.

I'LL ALSO REMIND YOU THAT IN MAY AND JUNE, WHEN THE BUDGET WAS ADOPTED AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS, WE DID HAVE UPDATES FROM OUR DEMOGRAPHER.

THE MAY AND JUNE COVID CASES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LOW AT THAT TIME, AND I THINK WE KIND OF THOUGHT WE WERE MOVING OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC.

OF COURSE, WHAT HAPPENED, UNFORTUNATELY, WAS THE DELTA VARIANT HIT LATER IN THE SUMMER, AND CERTAINLY WE STARTED SCHOOL LOOKING VERY DIFFERENTLY.

AS YOU LOOK AT THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT, HERE'S OUR PROJECTIONS BY GRADE.

HERE'S WHERE WHEN I DID THIS SLIDE LAST WEEK, WELL, OF COURSE, TOMORROW WILL BE FALL TEAMS. IT HASN'T CHANGED MUCH.

BUT YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART THE MAJORITY OF OUR DROP ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVEN STUDENTS FROM OUR PROJECTIONS IS IN THAT K THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

SO STATEWIDE, THAT'S WHERE DISTRICTS IN FACT, WE WERE AT A CONFERENCE THIS WEEK AND TALKING TO MANY OTHER DISTRICTS, THEY'RE ALL STRUGGLING WITH THEIR ENROLLMENT UNLESS THEY'RE IN A FAST GROWTH AREA WHERE THEY HAVE A LOT OF OF GROWTH.

SO WE HAVE HAD SOME REVENUE CHALLENGES THIS YEAR.

OBVIOUSLY, AS I MENTIONED, OUR ENROLLMENT IS LOWER THAN THE DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS.

WE ALSO HAVE HAD A LOWER THAN NORMAL STUDENT ATTENDANCE FOR THE FIRST SIX WEEKS.

IT WAS AT NINETY TWO POINT THREE PERCENT AND OUR NORMAL IS NINETY SEVEN, CERTAINLY IN THE FIRST SIX WEEKS WE HAD STUDENTS OUT WITH COVID AND PARENTS JUST KEEPING THEIR KIDS AT HOME. SO THIS IS NORMALLY OUR ONE OF OUR HIGHEST SIX WEEKS OF ENROLLMENT AND HELPS US OUT THROUGH THE YEAR. AND JUST AS A REMINDER TO THE BOARD AND TO THE PEOPLE LISTENING, WE GET PAID BASED ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE STUDENT SHOWS UP FOR SCHOOL, SO WE DON'T GET PAID BASED ON ENROLLMENT. WE GET PAID ON AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE AND THEN THE WEIGHTS ATTACHED TO THOSE PARTICULAR STUDENTS.

AND THEN THE OTHER CHALLENGE THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR, WHICH WAS A LITTLE IT WAS DEFINITELY AN ANOMALY. ONE OF OUR FUNDING PIECES COMES FROM THE NUMBER OF FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT.

IF YOU REMEMBER, BACK IN THE SUMMER, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRAM, THE SUMMER SEAMLESS PROGRAM THAT WE COULD ELECT INTO THIS YEAR, WHERE EVERY STUDENT WOULD EAT FREE.

AND IN LIGHT OF THAT, IN THE SUMMER, WE WERE TOLD AS A RESULT, YOU MAY NOT USE A FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION TO IDENTIFY THE STUDENTS THAT ACTUALLY ARE THE SOCIOECONOMIC STUDENTS. AND THOSE KIDS FILTER INTO OUR RISK PROGRAM.

AND SO TO CAME UP WITH AN ALTERNATE FORM THAT WE PLUGGED INTO OUR ENROLLMENT PROCESS IN AUGUST FOR PARENTS TO COMPLETE BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO IDENTIFY THIS.

THE LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STUDENTS, UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE END OF AUGUST, TO CAME BACK AFTER MUCH AFTER SCHOOL HAD BEGUN AND TOLD US THAT, OH, WE WERE WRONG, WE REALLY DO NEED THAT FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION.

SO OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS, OUR CAMPUSES AND OUR DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN WORKING STRATEGICALLY TO TRY TO GET PARENTS TO GO OUT AND FILL OUT THOSE APPLICATIONS.

WE DO HAVE AROUND 9500 KIDS THAT QUALIFY AUTOMATICALLY FOR FREE AND REDUCED BECAUSE THEY'RE ON MEDICAID.

AND SO THOSE STUDENTS DIDN'T HAVE TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION.

BUT WE NORMALLY ARE RUNNING AT AROUND 14000 STUDENTS ON THE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD.

WE'LL KNOW TOMORROW WHERE WE ARE.

WE HAVE REGAINED QUITE A FEW OF THOSE.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE PROBABLY IN THE LOW THIRTEEN THOUSAND.

SO OUR CAMPUSES HAVE DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

THEY'VE MADE PHONE CALLS.

THEY'VE HAD COMPETITIONS, THEY'VE HAD DRAWINGS, THEY VISITED PARENTS HOMES, AND OUR CHILD NUTRITION DEPARTMENT HAS DONE THE SAME.

IN FACT, OUR CHILD NUTRITION DEPARTMENT TOOK ALL OF THE SOCIOECONOMIC FORMS THAT WE COLLECTED DURING REGISTRATION, AND THEY DID AN ANALYSIS TO SEE WHICH OF THOSE FAMILIES HAD NOT FILLED OUT FREE AND REDUCED, AND THEY MADE THEIR OWN PHONE CALLS LETTERS.

WE'VE DONE ALL TYPES OF THINGS, SO WE'RE HOPING TOMORROW WILL BE A MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN WE WERE A FEW WEEKS AGO.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS IMPACTING OUR FUNDING AND CERTAINLY HAS CAUSED A CHALLENGE FOR THE FALL. NOW, THANKFULLY, THIS YEAR WE DO HAVE SOME REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES TO HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ATTENDANCE WAIVERS.

WE'RE STILL WAITING ON GUIDANCE ON THOSE.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FILE THOSE DAY BY DAY.

[00:45:02]

NORMALLY YOU HAVE TO HAVE 10 PERCENT BELOW YOUR NORMAL AND AS YOU SAW WITH THE NINETY TWO PERCENT AND THE NINETY SEVEN WERE NOT AT THAT 10 PERCENT, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING BACK AT A COUPLE OF YEARS AND GIVE US A DIFFERENT THRESHOLD THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO FILE FOR THOSE ATTENDANCE WAIVERS.

IT WON'T MAKE UP FOR ALL THE THINGS WE'VE LOST, BUT IT CERTAINLY WILL MAKE AN IMPACT AS WE MOVE ON THROUGH THE YEAR.

WE ALSO HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES IN FRONT OF US AND WE'VE PRESENTED QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION TO THE BOARD REGARDING ESSER FUNDING FOR ESSER TWO, AND I'VE GOT A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE NEXT SLIDE ABOUT THE FEDERAL FUNDING WE WERE REQUIRED WITH ESSER TWO TO SUPPLANT A PORTION OF OUR FUNDING LAST YEAR THAT THE TEA CUT ABOUT $6 MILLION FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. WE STILL HAVE JUST UNDER 12, SO WE'LL BE SUPPLANTING GENERAL FUND, BASICALLY TAKING THOSE GENERAL FUNDS SALARIES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED, MOVING THOSE OVER TO FEDERAL, WHICH WILL BE SAVING US SOME DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, GIVING US TIME TO TRY TO GET OUR STUDENTS BACK, HOPEFULLY GET BEYOND COVID ESSER THREE FUNDING.

WE CERTAINLY DID A WHOLE LOT OF PLANNING ON THAT.

WE'RE NOT USING A LOT OF THAT FUNDING FOR THIS, BUT WE WILL BE SUPPLANTING ABOUT $3 MILLION A YEAR OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

SO THAT GIVES US ABOUT $9 MILLION TO HELP US WITH A REVENUE LOSS FOR THIS YEAR.

WHILE WE HAVE PLANNING IN PLACE TO REGAIN OUR STUDENTS, LOOK AT OUR BUDGETS AND DO A NUMBER OF THINGS WITHOUT IMPACTING OUR GENERAL FUND NEGATIVELY.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION.

WE DO BELIEVE THIS WAS AN ANOMALY.

SO IF WE DO HAVE THE OPTION OF ALL FREE LUNCHES NEXT YEAR, WE CERTAINLY WILL BE APPLYING THOSE APPLICATIONS DIFFERENTLY AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR PARENTS UNDERSTAND.

I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES CAMPUSES HAVE TOLD US IS THAT WHEN THEY CALL PARENTS AND TELL THEM, WE NEED YOU TO FILL OUT A DIFFERENT APPLICATION, IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY FILLED ONE OUT.

SO JUST A LITTLE REMINDER ABOUT ESSER FUNDING, IF YOU REMEMBER THIS, THESE DOLLARS THAT WERE THREE ESSER GRANTS THAT CAME TO THE DISTRICT.

THEY WERE THERE TO HELP THE DISTRICT SAFELY REOPEN AND SUSTAIN OPERATIONS AND RECOVER FROM THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC.

THERE WERE 15 ALLOWABLE COST AREAS.

AND SO THE ONE THAT WE FOCUSED ON HERE, ESPECIALLY FOR ESSER THREE, IS MAINTAINING THE OPERATION OF CONTINUITY OF SERVICES FOR THE DISTRICT AND TO CONTINUE EMPLOYING STAFF.

SO THAT IS A REALLY GOOD USE OF OUR FUNDS FOR THIS PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR.

ESSER 1, THE FUNDS WERE REQUIRED TO BE SUPPLANTED INTO THE GENERAL FUND IN 1920 BY THE TEA. THEY CUT OUR FUNDING BY THE AMOUNT OF ESSER ONE FUNDS WE RECEIVED.

ESSER TWO, FOR LAST YEAR, THE TEA CUT OUR FUNDING BY THE HOLD HARMLESS AMOUNT AND WE WERE REQUIRED TO FUND THAT PORTION WITH ESSER NOT GET THOSE DOLLARS.

THE REMAINING FUNDS, AS I MENTIONED, JUST UNDER 12 MILLION WILL BE SUPPLANTING OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND THEN ESSER THREE, WHICH WAS THE LARGEST PIECE, THIRTY NINE MILLION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THE MAJORITY OF THOSE DOLLARS, 70 PERCENT, WILL AND ARE BEING USED FOR CAMPUS INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT, HELPING STUDENTS REGAIN THE LOST INSTRUCTION AND TO PROVIDE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SUPPORT AS WELL.

SO WE'RE ONLY USING 30 PERCENT OF THOSE FUNDS FOR GENERAL FUND SUPPLANTING, BUT CERTAINLY THOSE FUNDS ARE COMING IN HANDY WITH THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE HAVING.

SO JUST AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE STARTED OUR YEAR AND THE ADOPTED BUDGET.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THOSE NUMBERS WERE WHEN WE CAME BACK IN AUGUST TO APPROVE THE TAX RATE AFTER WE RECEIVED THE CERTIFIED TAX VALUES.

WE INCREASE OUR TAX COLLECTIONS, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THE WAY STATE FUNDING WORKS, IF OUR TAX COLLECTIONS GO UP, OUR STATE FUNDING GOES DOWN.

WE ONLY RECEIVE STATE FUNDING WHEN WE HAVE STUDENTS IN ATTENDANCE.

AND SO THE ONLY OTHER ADJUSTMENT THAT OCCURRED IN AUGUST, WE DO HAVE SOME INDIRECT COSTS FUNDING. WE'RE GETTING OFF OF ESSER THREE THAT'S HELPING TO PROVIDE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT THAT OCCURS WITH MANAGING A FEDERAL GRANT.

WE DID HAVE TWO AND A HALF POSITIONS THERE THAT WE WERE FUNDING IN GENERAL FUND AS WELL, AND WE PROVIDED A LITTLE BIT OF FINE ART EXPENDITURES TO HELP WITH LOSS OF LEARNING.

SO HERE'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

WE ARE SHOWING A $10 MILLION REDUCTION IN REVENUE BASED ON WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE IN MY ESTIMATES FOR YEAR IN BASED ON ABOUT 10 YEARS OF DATA OF EVERY SIX WEEKS AND HOW WE END UP GOING THROUGH THE YEAR.

THESE NUMBERS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY ATTENDANCE WAIVERS WILL BE UPDATING THOSE AT A LATER TIME WHEN WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION FROM THE TEA.

SO JUST GIVING YOU THAT WE'VE GOT THE PROJECTED REVENUE LOSS WHEN WE OFFSET THE ESSER 2 ESSER 3 SUPPLANT, WE'RE ONLY IMPACTING GENERAL FUND AT THAT POINT ABOUT 1.1 MILLION.

AND REMEMBER, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ATTENDANCE WAIVER, SO WE DO EXPECT THOSE NUMBERS TO IMPROVE. WE ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, NEVER SPEND ALL OF OUR BUDGET.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF OPEN POSITIONS RIGHT NOW.

[00:50:02]

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I DID WITH THIS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I NORMALIZED THE PROJECTIONS. SO BASICALLY GOING BACK AND APPLYING A NINETY SEVEN PERCENT ATTENDANCE RATE TO THE FIRST SIX WEEKS, EXTRAPOLATING THAT OUT TO THE END OF THE YEAR BASED ON 10 YEARS OF HISTORICAL CHANGE IN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE OVER THE YEAR.

AND I ALSO RECAPTURED ALL OF THOSE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH STUDENTS TO SEE WHAT WOULD OUR YEAR HAVE LOOKED LIKE IF WE HADN'T HAD THOSE TWO OBSTACLES.

AND YES, WHILE WE WOULD HAVE STILL HAD A PROJECTED REVENUE LOSS BECAUSE WE DID DROP A NUMBER OF STUDENTS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO THE GOOD ONCE WE APPLIED THE ESSER FUNDING.

SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

SO IT JUST GIVES US HOPE FOR THE FUTURE AS WE START WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REGAINING THOSE STUDENTS.

SO JUST A SUMMARY FOR YOU.

THIS IS WHERE WE ADOPTED OUR BUDGET.

WE DID HAVE A BUDGET DEFICIT OF ABOUT 2.8 MILLION, BASICALLY BECAUSE WE DO UNDERSPEND OUR BUDGETS EACH YEAR DUE TO STAFFING OPENS AND OPENINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE BOARD APPROVED IN JULY AND IN AUGUST SOME ROLLED PURCHASE ORDERS.

SO THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE JUNE FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE ROLLED THOSE DOLLARS OVER.

AND IN ADDITION, THE BOARD HAD APPROVED SOME ONE TIME EXPENDITURES DURING BUDGET THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE LAST YEAR'S LEFTOVER FUNDS TO TO COVER THIS YEAR.

AND THEN THERE'S THE 12 MILLION, ONE POINT TWO MILLION I MENTIONED EARLIER OF ESSER INDIRECT COST REVENUE NET, THE TWO AND A HALF POSITIONS THE BOARD APPROVED.

SO IN AUGUST, WHEN WE FINALIZED THE AMENDMENT, WE WERE AT A DEFICIT ABOUT FIVE POINT SEVEN. BUT I'LL REMIND YOU FOUR POINT ONE OF THAT, ARE ONE TIME EXPENDITURES THAT WE WILL NOT INCUR AGAIN.

SO THE DEFICIT WAS PRETTY MINOR.

WHEN WE ADD IN THIS PIECE WITH THE PROJECTED REVENUE LOSS, OUR CURRENT REVISED DEFICIT WITH THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT THE BOARD WILL BE CONSIDERING LATER IN THE MEETING IS AROUND 6.8 MILLION AND ONCE AGAIN, FOUR POINT ONE OF THAT IS ONE TIME EXPENDITURES THAT WILL NOT BE INCURRED AGAIN.

SO JUST AN UPDATE.

THE BEGINNING GENERAL FUND BALANCE FROM LAST JUNE IS AROUND EIGHTY SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. WITH THIS UPDATE OF 6.8, THAT'S IF WE DO END UP AT A SIX POINT EIGHT DEFICIT.

IT DROPS IT TO JUST UNDER $80 MILLION, WHICH IS AROUND THIRTY SIX PERCENT OF OUR EXPENDITURES. SO WE'RE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

AND THEN FOR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING, THERE WILL BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE'S A SCHOOL'S FIRST INDICATOR THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON THE COMPARING THE BUDGET IN OCTOBER WITH WHERE YOU END AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT TONIGHT AND THEN THAT WILL BE AN ACTION ITEM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION LATER IN THE MEETING.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? START DOWN HERE, ANY QUESTIONS? MR. DAVIS.

NO QUESTIONS, JUST MORE COMMENTS.

YES, SIR. I WISH WE ALL HAD A MAGIC CRYSTAL BALL THAT COULD HAVE TOLD US WHAT OUR ATTENDANCE IMPACT AND ENROLLMENT IMPACT WAS GOING TO BE.

ONCE COVID CAME AROUND, WE'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS.

THAT'S CORRECT. THIS IS TRULY, TRULY STATEWIDE AND NATIONWIDE FOR THE TENANTS NUMBERS THAT ARE DROPPING. I EVEN SAW A DEAL WHERE TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE 20 PERCENT LESS IN ENROLLMENT AT OUR LOCAL COLLEGE LEVEL.

SO IT'S A BIG, MAJOR IMPACT.

THE SKY IS NOT FALLING.

LUCKILY, THE COST OF THIS BOARD IN PREVIOUS BOARDS, WE'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF STEWARDS OF OUR MONEY AND WE HAVE THE FUND BALANCE THERE FOR THE RAINY DAY.

THE RAINY DAY CAME.

IT'S CALLED COVID AND WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO USE IT.

BUT NOW WE KNOW WHAT THAT MONEYS WERE THERE FOR.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT OF HOW WE TAKE CARE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR EMPLOYEES FOR MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL NEEDS, BEING GOOD STEWARDS FOR THE TAXPAYERS OF OUR DISTRICT, MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENT IN THE CLASSROOM.

WE'RE DOING THOSE, WE'RE DOING THOSE THINGS.

BUT IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL ME THAT WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT YOUR ATTENDANCE WAS GOING TO DROP, OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO GET 92 PERCENT ATTENDANCE INSTEAD OF NINETY SEVEN OR NINETY EIGHT THAT YOU HAD BEFORE.

THAT'S THEY'RE MAKING STUFF UP.

WE DIDN'T KNOW.

NO ONE KNEW.

BUT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO REACT TO THAT.

AND WHAT THE GOOD NEWS IS IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WAYS, AS YOU'VE ALREADY DONE, TO GET THE FREE AND REDUCED FORMS BACK IN.

THAT WILL HELP US.

WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THE KIDS TO BE IN SCHOOL.

MOM AND DAD FOR KIDS RUNNING FEVER FEELING BAD? DON'T SEND THEM TO SCHOOL.

WE DON'T WANT THAT. ONLY GET TO SPREAD YOU KNOW, COLDS AND FLU AND WHATEVER ELSE, IT MAY BE MUCH LESS COVID.

BUT ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT.

THE KIDS KNOW BEING THERE IN PERSON IS CRITICAL TO THEIR HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PROGRESS TO THIS SCHOOL YEAR. IT'S A DIFFERENT LAST YEAR AND A HALF WE'VE HAD LIKE NONE OTHER.

I'M GLAD STAFF IS ABLE TO REACT TO IT.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PLAN FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF OUR RESOURCES, WE CAN REACT POSITIVELY, WE CAN GO FORWARD, WE'VE GOT A GAME PLAN AND WE'RE GOING TO OVERCOME SOME HURDLES, HURDLES AT SOME NOT GOING TO BE SO EASY TO OVERCOME FOR OTHER

[00:55:04]

ACTUALLY, I THINK THIS BOARD IN PREVIOUS BOARDS IN THE PAST WHO'VE BEEN WISE ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE RIGHT NOW DELORES WEBB IS SNICKERING BECAUSE SHE WAS SO PROTECTIVE OF OUR FUND BALANCE OF WHY IT WAS NEEDED THERE AND WHAT THE PURPOSE WAS.

AND DOLORES, YOU'RE RIGHT, THE RAINY DAY CAME, IT WAS CALLED COVID 19, AND WE'RE GOING TO SURVIVE BECAUSE OF IT.

AND NOW WE GO FORWARD AND WE'LL DO GREAT THINGS IN THE FUTURE.

THANKS FOR YOUR STAFF. A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF WORK ON THIS, THE DAILY ATTENDANCE WAIVERS TO GET TO AUSTIN, BUT IT'LL PAY OFF FOR US.

WE ASKED A QUESTION, SOMEBODY IN THE MEETING WE HAD OR HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER PERSON TO TAKE CARE OF THAT TO DO THAT.

AND KATIE, IN FACT, IS NO, WE'LL GET IT DONE.

I APPRECIATE THAT ATTITUDE, KATIE.

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH YEAR AND A HALF, LAST MONTH BEEN VERY TOUGH WHEN THE NUMBERS COME IN THAT WHAT WE WEREN'T EXPECTING AT ALL.

WE STILL WILL OVERCOME, WE'LL SURVIVE, WE'LL GO FORWARD.

WE'RE GOING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STAFF, OF OUR TEACHERS, AND WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AS WE GO FORWARD BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY WITH THE PEOPLE, ONES THAT ARE LEADING.

I SEE ALL YEAR ROUND THE ROOM AND THE TEACHERS THAT WE HAVE.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT. IT'S A TOUGH YEAR FOR TEACHERS.

MY DAUGHTER'S A TEACHER, AN ACADEMIC COACH.

IT'S TOUGH FOR THEM RIGHT NOW.

AND BUT WE'VE GOT THE ABILITY TO OVERCOME IT WITH GREAT LEADERSHIP, WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE AND FIGHTING FORWARD FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE.

WE'VE HAD SO MUCH NEGATIVE STUFF THE LAST SIX MONTHS, MASK, NO MASK VACCINATION AND NO VACCINATIONS, THIS OR THAT, ALL THE ABOVE.

PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING TO BE BEST FOR OUR KIDS.

THIS BOARD, I HONESTLY SAY WE'RE GOING TO MAKE DECISIONS BEST FOR THE KIDS.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE KIDS CAN GIVE TO THE TEACHERS.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE TEACHERS TO BE GOOD FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

SO WE'RE ALL GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR ME.

GO FORWARD AND IT'S CHALLENGING TO BE THERE, BUT WE CAN DO IT.

THANKS FOR THIS REPORT AND YOU SOUND LIKE WE'RE OH, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.

WE'RE NOT IN TROUBLE. WE'RE NOT IN TROUBLE.

WE'VE GOT THE MEANS TO OVERCOME AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. OK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, AGAIN, NOT QUESTIONS, BUT SOME COMMENTS.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, WE VOTED ON A DEFICIT BUDGET OF LITTLE OVER TWO MILLION, WHICH I HATED DOING. KNOWING, THOUGH, THAT WE WOULDN'T SPEND THE FULL BUDGET AMOUNT BECAUSE WE DON'T.

NOW WE'RE AMENDING IT TO WHAT, $6.8 MILLION DEFICIT BUDGET, WHICH I REALLY HATE DOING.

BUT I MEAN, WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHAT A MILLION MILLION AND A HALF WE COULD RECOUP BECAUSE OF THE ATTENDANCE WAIVERS.

PROBABLY TWO TO THREE MILLION OR MORE THAT WE WON'T SPEND.

FOUR MILLION OF THIS IS FROM PROJECTS FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH WE PUT, I BELIEVE, THREE AND A HALF MILLION INTO THE GENERAL FUND LAST YEAR.

THAT OFFSETS THIS FOUR MILLION, SO WE REALLY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LOWER GENERAL FUND NEXT YEAR THAN WE DID TWO YEARS AGO.

THIS ISN'T LIKE, SORRY, RICHARD, FORGIVE ME.

LIKE RICHARD SAID, WE'RE NOT IN TROUBLE.

HATE VOTING FOR A DEFICIT BUDGET PERIOD, BUT WE'RE NOT IN TROUBLE.

WE DID THAT ORIGINALLY, THE DEFICIT BUDGET SO THAT WE COULD GIVE TEACHERS RAISES, WHICH WE DID OVER A THREE PERCENT RAISE.

I THINK THAT WAS WELL WORTH IT.

WE'RE NOT IN TROUBLE. I THINK WE'RE AT A GOOD PLACE.

ALL RIGHT, MR. DILKS, YEAH.

MUCH OF WHAT I WANTED TO SAY, RICHARD COVERED, BUT TALKING TO MY SCHOOL BOARD FRIENDS ACROSS THE STATE, I FIND THAT WE'RE IN A VERY GOOD SHAPE COMPARED TO MANY DISTRICTS.

AND I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU, KATIE, IN YOUR EFFORTS TO CONSTANTLY LOOK FOR EVERY WAY WE CAN RETAIN OR REGAIN SOME OF THE FUNDING WE'VE LOST.

YOU'VE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB AND CONTINUE TO DO INCREDIBLE JOB.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

APPRECIATE THAT. ANYONE ELSE? OK. AND YEAH, I ECHO ALL WHAT THEY SAID AND PARTICULARLY NOT TO JUST TO YOUR CREW, BUT IF THERE'S SOME WAY FOR YOU TO LET THOSE CREWS, YOU KNOW, THAT WENT OUT THERE AND HARVESTED THESE FORMS AFTER THE FIASCO, THAT WAS NOT OF OUR MAKING, BUT DOWN IN AUSTIN ABOUT THOSE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH FORMS. JUST THAT REALLY HURTS MY HEART THAT THAT ALL HAPPENED THAT WAY, AND IT ENDS UP HURTING OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, SOMETHING THAT WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH, BUT THE FACT THAT OUR HARDWORKING PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE.

IF YOU COULD LET THOSE DEPARTMENTS KNOW JUST HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING, NOT FOR THEMSELVES, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET PAID ANY MORE JUST BECAUSE THEY DID THAT. BUT THEY'RE DOING IT FOR THE GOOD OF BISD, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT.

AND BOY, THEY REALLY EXEMPLIFY THAT.

SO TELL THEM, THANK YOU HOWEVER YOU CAN.

I WILL DO THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OK. NEXT ITEM IS TASA/TASB.

[I. TASA/TASB CONFERENCE RECAP — Board of Trustees]

IT'S A GOOD WAY TO NETWORK.

IT'S IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO GET THEM, BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME OTHER GOOD PLACES TO GET OUR

[01:00:03]

BUT A FEW YEARS BACK, WE REALIZED WE WOULD GO AND THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY.

SOMETIMES IT'S KIND OF THE TREE FALLING IN THE FOREST, YOU KNOW, WOULDN'T BE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE LEARNED THERE.

SO I'LL JUST KIND OF START ON THIS END.

IT'S NOT MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU LEARN SOMETHING IN ONE OF YOUR SESSIONS AT TASA/TASB, CERTAIN WE'D LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

SO YOU HIT YOUR MIC MR. DREES, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SPEAKING? I AM. YES, I USUALLY DON'T SPEAK THIS MUCH.

I HAD THE HONOR TO GO TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT.

I HEARD CLARENCE PRESENT, WHICH I LOVED ON CARDONICS IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY AND HOW MUCH WE PROBABLY SAVED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS, BY UTILIZING THAT SOFTWARE AND VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT, I GOT TO HEAR MONICA [INAUDIBLE] SPEAK AS WELL AND THE SYSTEMS THAT WE'RE USING TO ANALYZE ACTIONABLE DATA AND REALLY HOW IN SPITE OF THE GRADE THAT WE RECEIVED THE LAST TIME WE RECEIVED A GRADE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO REALLY DIG IN AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS THE BOARD, WHICH IS AMAZING AND GREAT.

I ACTUALLY ALSO WENT TO A SESSION ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY, AND THANKFULLY CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DISTRICT AND WILL NOT HAVE IN OUR DISTRICT.

HOWEVER, I DID, I WAS INTERESTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEW LAW THAT WAS PASSED, AND IT WILL PLACE QUITE A FEW MORE BURDENS, I THINK, ON OUR TEACHERS.

BUT IT WILL ENSURE THAT ALL SIDES OF EVERY ISSUE ARE BEING TAUGHT, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HAVE SO.

GOOD MR. KUNKEL. WELL, I STARTED OFF AT 7:30 A.M.

ON THAT FRIDAY MORNING, GOING TO A CLASS ON THE TEA RULES REGARDING THE NEW FACILITY STANDARDS THAT IRENE MENTIONED EARLIER.

LISA VARDMAN, WITH A ARCHITECTURAL FIRM THAT HAS DIFFERENT INITIALS THAN IRENE, LED THIS AND THIS.

I SAT BACK AND WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE NEW RULES, IN MANY OF WHICH WE INCORPORATED IN OUR LAST BUILDINGS SINGLE ENTRY POINTS, THE SECURITY VEGETABLES.

SO, YOU KNOW, CONAN I THINK WE'RE WE'RE RIGHT THERE WITH A LOT OF THESE FACILITIES STANDARDS. I KNOW THERE'S STUDENTS PER SQUARE FOOT AND ALL OF THAT THAT ARE REVAMPED AND BUT THE BOARD HAS RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THESE PLANNING RULES.

AND SO WHEN WE GET INTO OUR NEXT PHASES AND SO FORTH, HELP US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLY. I KNOW YOU WILL AND WE'LL NEED TO DO SOME READING ON THAT AS WELL JUST TO MAKE SURE, AS CHRIS, SAID CLARENCE SIMMONS IN THE CARDONICS PEOPLE TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF HIRING AND USING DATA DRIVEN STAFFING.

WE'VE SEEN PRESENTATION ON OUR FACILITY PLAN THAT THAT IS DATA DRIVEN.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT, OH, I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE OR THIS.

IT'S REALLY BASED ON DATA AND WHAT THE NUMBERS TELL YOU.

AND WE DO THAT WITH WITH HIRING AND STAFFING AND AND PLANNING OUR OUR DAYS FOR OUR STAFF IN CLEARANCE DID A VERY GOOD JOB, VERY IMPRESSED WITH CLARENCE IN HIS PRESENTATION THERE THAT CHRIS AND I ATTENDED.

AND I GUESS THE LAST THING I'LL COMMENT ON IS THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.

BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND LEGISLATIVE UPDATE WHENEVER THE LEGISLATURE ENDS, AND IT WAS REAL TIMELY FOR MANY OF US TO GET THAT UPDATE.

I WAS INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW LAWS RETIRED.

LIKE MUCH OF INDUSTRIES IN THE COUNTRY, RETIREES CAN REENTER THE WORKFORCE BECAUSE SO MANY EMPLOYERS NEED THEM TO WITHOUT PENALTIES ON THEIR RETIREMENT AND SO FORTH.

AND THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR STATE TEACHERS AS WELL.

THERE ARE NEW LAWS REGARDING COUNSELORS.

SCHOOL COUNSELORS HAVE TO ACTUALLY SPEND AT LEAST 80 PERCENT OF THEIR DAY DOING COUNSELOR RELATED DUTIES, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE.

AND I'M SURE DR. STRICKLAND, THAT WE'RE WE'VE GOT THAT BEING FOCUSED ON.

AND THEN THERE'S THERE'S SOME NEW IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY SESSION, THERE'S NEW TRAINING COMING FOR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES.

THERE'S NEW TRAINING REQUIRED REGARDING SCHOOL SAFETY FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THAT I THINK DOE IS COMPLETING THIS NEW TRAINING.

BUT I THINK IT'S EFFECTIVE LIKE NOW, SO WE'LL SOON BE GETTING INFORMATION.

BRENDA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN ANYTHING ON THAT YET, BUT I'M GOING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT AS WELL.

TASB, THESE WERE ALL TASB STAFF GIVING THIS PRESENTATION ON THE ON THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE, AND THEY DON'T, THEY NEVER HAD A POSITION ON MASKS AND VACCINES.

[01:05:06]

YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL CONTROL ON THOSE THINGS, AND THE LOBBY EFFORTS WERE THERE FOR LOCAL CONTROL.

WE JUST NEVER GOT THAT OPPORTUNITY.

WE GET STATE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE GET A NATIONAL OPPORTUNITY.

WE GET SOME REGIONAL TOP OPPORTUNITIES, THE STATE OPPORTUNITY, WHEREVER IT'S IN DALLAS.

IT'S SURE A GOOD USE OF OUR TIME AND AND OUR EFFORTS AND ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH.

GOOD. YEAH, THE YEAH, THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE, EVERY TIME THAT I GO TO THAT, I KEEP THINKING THAT THE LEGISLATURE CAN'T DO ANYTHING MORE BECAUSE EVERY TIME IT'S OVERWHELMING THE NUMBER OF CHANGES THEY MAKE AND I THINK, WELL, NEXT TIME THEY'RE GOING TO, THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US A BREAK AND THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

BUT THEY VENT MORE THINGS TO LEGISLATE AND TO SO.

YEAH, I WAS I'M ALWAYS OVERWHELMED WHEN I GO TO THOSE LEGISLATIVE UPDATES, JUST JUST HOW MUCH THEY'RE ADDING TO THE BUREAUCRACY EVERY, EVERY TWO YEARS.

IT'S REALLY OVERWHELMING.

ALSO WENT TO CYBERSECURITY.

I TALKED TO DAVE ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT.

HE ACTUALLY IS EMPLOYED BY THE TEA AND CAN HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT THAT HAVE A TAX.

IT IS SO SCARY.

AND I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS HOW SCARY IT IS.

BUT AND ONCE AGAIN, THE WEAK LINK IS NEVER THIS.

IT'S THIS.

IT'S THE IT'S THE PERSON SITTING THERE.

AND I THINK THAT OUR I WAS REMINDED THE WHOLE TIME THAT HE WAS GIVING EXAMPLES AND HIS BEST PRACTICES. I KEPT THINKING, OH WOW, DAVE'S GOT ALL THOSE GOING ALL THE TIME.

AND IN FACT, THE OTHER DAY I GOT A I GOT AN EMAIL AND I WAS LIKE, OH, THIS LOOKS REALLY FISHY. I THINK I'LL JUST SEND IT TO DAVE JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M SO SMART HERE.

AND HE RESPONDS, MATT GOES, YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF OUR PLANTS.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO SEE WHO'S DUMB ENOUGH TO FALL FOR IT.

SO LUCKILY, I DIDN'T FALL FOR THAT ONE, BUT IT REMINDED ME AGAIN HOW GREAT IT IS TO HAVE HAVE A TEAM LIKE THAT. I WAS ALSO REMINDED JUST FYI, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I WOULD SEE THAT LITTLE TAG AT THE TOP SAYS THAT THIS COMES FROM OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT WHEN I WAS ALWAYS LIKE, WHO CARES? I MEAN, OK, YEAH, COME ON.

IT'S COMING FROM. IT'S COMING FROM TEA YEAH, DUH.

I KNEW IT CAME FROM OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT, BUT IF I SEE AN EMAIL FROM DR.

STINSON THAT SAYS IT CAME OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT, RED FLAG GOES OFF.

I'M LIKE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT'S THERE.

YEAH. SO THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED JUST WHAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY LITTLE, EVERY LITTLE THING TO TRAP WHAT THESE GUYS ARE COMING UP WITH IS GOOD.

SO MR. TOLBERT I GOT ONE FROM JOE TOLBERT BOARD PRESIDENT AT GMAIL.COM THAT HAD THAT RED TAG, SO I KNEW IT WAS FAKE AND IT WASN'T YOU TRYING TO DUPE ME, BUT THEY WILL USE YOUR NAME, THEY WILL USE DR.

STINSON'S NAME, THEY'LL USE PRINCIPALS NAMES.

SO YOU DIDN'T PAY THE MONEY THAT WAS ASKED FOR.

OK, OK. IT WAS ACTUALLY FREE DONUTS.

I ALMOST SIGNED UP. WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD.

WE'LL DO THAT, SIR. THANK YOU.

NO, THANK YOU. SO ANYWAY.

AND ALONG THOSE SAME LINES, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE OUR OWN STAFF, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, WE'VE REALLY BECOME A LEADER IN THIS IN THE STATE AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR OUR SIZE AND AND WE OUGHT TO FLEX OUR MUSCLE A LITTLE BIT ON THE THINGS WE DO, RIGHT. SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE A COUPLE OF OUR OWN PRESENTING UP THERE.

AND I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY GOT SOME THINGS IN THE WORKS FOR MAYBE DOING EVEN MORE THINGS WHERE OUR PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING FANTASTIC WORK ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO US GETTING OUT THERE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WELL, AND JOE, I LOVED THAT IT WAS ALL DATA DRIVEN AND WE ARE VERY MUCH A DATA DRIVEN DISTRICT. YEAH, IT WAS.

IT WAS. IT WAS REALLY. I MEAN, ALL OF IT WAS.

BUT CLAIRE CHEERS WAS YOURS WAS YOU CAN YOU COULD REALLY SEE BOOM.

YOU COULD SEE THAT THE DIRECT IMPACT OF OF CHANGING THE OLD EXCEL SPREADSHEETS ON EVERYBODY'S COMPUTER INTO ONE SOFTWARE THAT ACTUALLY INTEGRATED ALL THAT DATA.

AND YOU COULD SEE THAT IT RESULT IN DOLLARS SAVINGS AND ALLOWING COUNSELORS TO ACTUALLY COUNSEL. YES.

YES. YES, EXACTLY.

YEAH, IT WAS.

IT WAS FUNNY THAT UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE WERE STILL DOING IT LIKE THEY DID.

I DON'T KNOW, A LONG TIME AGO, SEVERAL DECADES AGO.

SO EVEN [INAUDIBLE] WAS VERY DATA-DRIVEN, ACTIONABLE DATA, PUTTING IT INTO ACTION.

SO, YEP, YEP, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE WHAT ALL GOOD DISCUSSION LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH, JUST JUST ONE THING JUST TO TAG ON TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT PRESENTATIONS.

I BELIEVE IN JANUARY.

AT THE TOSS AND MIDWINTER CONFERENCE, DR.

SOBEL AND HIS TEAM HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO PRESENT.

YES, OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RESPONSE SYSTEMS. AND SO WE ARE, YES, VERY, VERY EXCITED TO DO THAT, HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN WITH HIM TWICE NOW AND WORK THROUGH THOSE SYSTEMS AS SOMEONE NEW TO THE DISTRICT.

AND NOW I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THIS IS MY 30TH YEAR AND I'VE TOLD HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT PUBLICLY.

HIS RESPONSE SYSTEMS ARE TOP NOTCH, AND I THINK THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT AND HIM GIVING THAT SYNOPSIS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEM SEEING JUST IN SUMMARY, WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

[01:10:07]

AND SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED TO HEAR YOU AND JANUARY AND YOUR TEAM AND VERY PROUD.

SO THANK YOU. AND.

YEAH. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE STUFF.

THANK YOU, DR. [INAUDIBLE]. WHAT NEXT IS THE INFORMATION DISCUSSION ITEMS?

[J1. Proposed 2021-22 Campus Improvement Plans [Elizabeth A. Clark, Associate Superintendent]]

DR. CLARK.

THANK YOU MR. TOLBERT, PRESIDENT TOLBERT AND I HAVE A SAYING.

DOES IT COME FROM ARKANSAS? IT MIGHT. OKAY. MAKE A PLAN, BUDGET THE PLAN AND WORK THE PLAN.

SO I THINK THIS BOARD IS.

I WANT TO THANK YOU PUBLICLY FOR VALUING PLANNING TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAD THE CAROUSELS WHERE WE HAD OUR SEVEN CAMPUSES TO PRESENT THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

SO TONIGHT I AM HERE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL OF OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO ACCESS AND TO VIEW, AND THAT WE HAVE DONE AN EXTENSIVE JOB IN ALIGNING CAMPUS PLANNING TO OUR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN, WHICH IS AN ACTION ITEM TONIGHT.

AND THEN TO SAY THAT TO REALLY GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO SOME INDIVIDUALS.

AND DR. UPHOFF GETS MENTIONED BECAUSE SHE IS SO DATA DRIVEN AND THAT OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS ARE ABSOLUTELY BASED UPON CAMPUS DATA AND AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO CLOSE GAPS AND TO SHOW GROWTH AND DOMAIN THREE, AND THEN ALSO TO COMMEND DR.

HORNBY AND MR. SIMMONS FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO WORK WITH THEIR CAMPUSES, TO SEE THAT THAT THE THE PROCESS IS TIGHT AND ALIGNED IN AND THEN TO MENTION ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS BECAUSE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANNING AND DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLANNING, THE ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS ARE BASED ON COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS IN PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY MEET THESE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS.

SO ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS, ESPECIALLY AT TITLE FEDERAL PROGRAMS, ARE AT RISK.

OUR STATE COMP, YOU KNOW, THE THOSE THOSE DIRECTORS HAVE TO COMB THESE PLANS AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THESE SUBPOPULATIONS AND GROUPS ARE MEETING THE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROGRAMS. SO IT'S A PROCESS THAT TAKES MONTHS AND DOING AND THAT I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT THOSE PLANS TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THE NEXT MONTH.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING FOR DR.

CLARK? OK, THANK YOU.

DR. CLARK, THANK YOU. NEXT IS A TRANSITION FROM SIX WEEKS TO NINE WEEKS GRADING PERIODS

[J2. Transition from Six-Weeks to Nine-Weeks Grading Periods beginning with the 2022-23 School Year [Elizabeth A. Clark, Associate Superintendent]

DR. CLARKE, YOU'RE UP AGAIN.

HEY, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR ME, SINCE I'M WORKING ON MY 10TH YEAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR THAT WE'VE HAD SOMEONE TO MAKE A REQUEST THAT WE CONSIDER GOING INTO TRANSITIONING FROM SIX WEEKS GRADING TO NINE WEEKS GRADING, WELL, THIS YEAR SEEMED TO BE A YEAR THAT THIS MADE A LOT OF SENSE AND THAT WE HAVE BENCHMARKED THIS AROUND OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS TO SEE AND MOST OF THEM HAVE MOVED, AND THEY'VE ALSO TRANSITIONED TO THE NINE WEEKS. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF FACTORS INVOLVED.

ONE OF THEM IS JUST GIVING MORE TIME FOR STUDENTS TO REALLY ACHIEVE MASTERY AND TO REALLY EXTEND THAT TIME FOR OUR TEACHERS SO THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THEY RUSH THROUGH A BUNCH OF ASSIGNMENTS TO GET AVERAGE FOR SIX WEEKS WHEN THEY COULD STRETCH THAT OUT. AND SO WE'VE ANSWERED THE QUESTION ABOUT UIL ELIGIBILITY BY BUILDING IN THINGS THAT WHERE WE ARE DOING OUR REPORTING NOW THAT WE HAVE GRADES ONLINE AND WE HAVE A PARENT PORTAL. THOSE GRADES AND THOSE THAT PROGRESS IS VERY ACCESSIBLE TO OUR PARENTS AND OUR STUDENTS. OUR STUDENTS EVEN CHECK ONLINE NOW.

SO THE THREE WEEKS AND THE SIX WEEKS ARE VERY REALISTIC AND ON THAT.

SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY

[01:15:04]

WE ALSO CONDUCTED A SURVEY WITH ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF, AND WE HAD VERY GOOD RETURN ON THE SURVEY AND IN EVERY SITUATION WHEN YOU COLLAPSED ON THE DATA, 84 PERCENT OF OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF FELT THAT MOVING TO AND TRANSITIONING TO NINE WEEKS WHAT WOULD BE A POSITIVE, A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION THEN IS MR..

BASKERVILLE IS OVER ALL OF THE CALENDAR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND OUR POLICY, OUR GOVERNANCE. SO AS WE MOVE OUT, WHICH WOULD BE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO TRANSITION TO A NINE WEEKS, IT WOULD BE WORKED IN THROUGH THAT CALENDAR PROCESS AS WELL AS THE GOVERNANCE.

AND THERE ARE ABOUT THREE POLICIES THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED THAT WE WOULD NEED TO BRING A GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE FIRST READ, SECOND READ AND A THIRD ACTUAL. IT TAKES THREE MONTHS FOR THAT TO TAKE PLACE, BUT IT WOULD BE EIA, EIC AND FDB SO THAT PROCESS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT AS IT WOULD INVOLVE A CALENDAR, AND IT WOULD ALSO INVOLVE SOME POLICY CHANGING.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I COULD ALSO ASK MR. BASKERVILLE IF HE HAS ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THAT PROCESS.

YES. AND DEVELOPING THAT, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH DEVELOPING THAT, THAT NINE WEEK SCENARIO IT, WE CAN ALWAYS SET THAT AT THE TIME AFTER WE SET THE CALENDAR.

SO DON'T POINT IS DON'T FEEL THAT YOU HAVE TO RUSH BECAUSE I CAN DO ONE OR TWO THINGS I CAN BUILD THE OR I CAN DO THIS, JUST BUILD THE CALENDAR WITH A SIX WEEK OPTION AND THEN ALSO A NINE WEEK OPTION.

AND DEPENDING ON IF THE BOARD POLICY IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD, THEN WE CAN MOVE TO THE NINE. IT CAN BE ONE OF OUR OPTIONS, SO DON'T FEEL THAT YOU'VE GOT TO RUSH THROUGH THIS PART. AS FAR AS WE COULD GO, THE THREE STEP OR TWO STEP THAT IT'S GOING TO HOLD UP OUR CALENDAR PROCESS, WE STILL WILL MAINTAIN A VERY VIBRANT AND VERY AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE ON MAKING SURE THE CALENDAR IS OUT THERE ENOUGH FOR OUR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. MR. MATTHEW WOULD YOU MIND JUST QUICKLY? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE EXACT DATES, BUT JUST REMIND ME AGAIN ON WHAT WHAT DATES WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE TO PROVE YOUR CALENDARS IS USUALLY WHEN? WHEN DO WE USE THE ADOPTED DECEMBER 1ST AND THEN ACTUALLY APPROVING IN JANUARY? THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THE THE POLICIES YOU'LL BRING TO US WOULD BE NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. SO THEY'LL JUST MIRROR EACH OTHER, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY I SAID I WOULD GIVE TWO OPTIONS SO THAT I'M NOT GOING TO ASSUME THAT WHAT THE BOARD WILL DO, THE BOARD WILL HAVE OPTIONS THAT IF THAT POLICY GOES THROUGH, WE'LL HAVE AN OPTION AND WE CAN STAGGER IT SO THAT ACTUALLY THE IN JANUARY, THE POLICY COULD BE APPROVED BEFORE THE CALENDAR.

GOTCHA. SO WE'RE NOT OUT OF WHACK.

SO ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THAT WE ARE PRESENTING THIS NOW IS BECAUSE IT DOES IT WOULD REQUIRE A LOT OF CURRICULUM WORK THAT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE START TAKING PLACE BEING PUT ON THE CALENDAR FOR THE SUMMER BECAUSE YOU WE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE A LOT OF OUR DOCUMENTS FROM SIX WEEKS TO A NINE WEEKS.

SO SOME ARE JUST ABOUT EVERY CURRICULUM DOCUMENT WE HAVE.

WE WOULD HAVE TO TOUCH IN SOME WAY.

AND ONE OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS THAT USUALLY COMES ABOUT AND THIS IS GETTING INTO THE DETAILS A LITTLE BIT THAT I KNOW WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT.

BUT FOLKS ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW IF YOU TRANSITION TO NINE WEEKS, IS THAT GOING TO CHANGE THE SEMESTER? IN OTHER WORDS, WILL YOU FINISH THE SEMESTER PRIOR TO CHRISTMAS BREAK IN THE KIDDOS BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR EXAMS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, FINISH OUT A SEMESTER BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY AGAIN AT THE SECOND SEMESTER, FINISHED BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. AND THE ANSWER IS YES.

SO YOU'RE JUST GOING FROM SIX WEEKS TO NINE WEEKS.

IT'S STILL 18 WEEKS GIVE OR TAKE WITHIN A SEMESTER.

IT WOULD BE NINE NINE NINE 11, SO THE LAST NINE WEEKS WOULD ACTUALLY BE 11.

BUT REMEMBER, WE HAVE TWO WEEKS WHERE WE'RE TESTING, SO IT ACTUALLY WORKS OUT TO NINE NINE INSTRUCTIONAL WEEKS.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? EXACTLY.

STILL STAYS WITHIN THE TIMELINES OF ENDING THE SEMESTER BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK SO THAT KIDDOS DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER CHRISTMAS BREAK AND FINISH OUT A SEMESTER AND TO GIVE YOU A BENCHMARK OR GIVE YOU A REAL TIME, THIS SIX WEEKS WE'RE IN IS ACTUALLY FIVE SIX WEEKS. SO IT'S REALLY TOUGH TO GET, AS DR.

CLARK MENTIONED, TO GET THOSE ASSIGNMENTS IN AND TO GET THAT.

SO THAT'S ONE IT'S ANOTHER REASON IT GIVES US LATITUDE ON MORE INSTRUCTIONAL TIME AND

[01:20:05]

LESS TIME SPENT ON TESTING.

YES. I THINK MR. DILKS.

I KNOW WE'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES, BUT I WANT TO REEMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SIX WEEKS ELIGIBILITY.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT NO KID FALLS THROUGH ANY CRACKS, SO WE WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ON THAT. ANOTHER THING THAT'S REAL IMPORTANT TO THE TEACHERS IS THE AMOUNT OF TEST GRADES AND DAILY GRADES AND NEEDS TO BE VERY DEFINED FOR THEM TO.

THAT'S ACTUALLY AT OUR BOARD POLICY.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS.

ALL RIGHT. BUT YES, AND WE'VE TALKED TO CHRIS FERRIS ABOUT THAT AS WELL AS DANNY DIETRICH HAVE BEEN IN THE PLANNING OF THAT UIL THAT DIFFERENT SCENARIO GOING TO NINE WEEKS.

AND WITHOUT WITHOUT GETTING SORRY, WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE SPECIFIC DETAILS THAT I KNOW WE WILL GET INTO, THE USUAL ELIGIBILITY CALENDAR IS ONLY DIFFERENT ONCE IN THE ENTIRE CALENDAR AND IT'S THE FIRST SIX WEEKS.

AND SO AT THAT PROGRESS REPORT, CHECK YOU TREAT IT EXACTLY AS IF YOU DID THE FORMER REPORT CARD. AND SO THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THAT THE UIL CALENDAR DOESN'T EXACTLY LINE UP WITH THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR.

YEAH, MR. KUNKEL JUST PRACTICALLY, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST INCENTIVES I HAD TO MAKE GOOD GRADES WAS A CRISP FIVE DOLLAR BILL.

I GOT FOUR STRAIGHT A'S.

AND IF WE'RE ONLY GOING TO GIVE OUT REPORT CARDS FOUR TIMES A YEAR RATHER THAN SIX, STUDENTS NEED TO BEGIN THEIR NEGOTIATING NOW FOR FOUR PRO RATING THAT AMOUNT, I'M SURE IT'S MUCH MORE THAN $5 TODAY.

RALPH HALL, WHO WORKED FOR THAT REASON WITH FIVE KIDS, WE PAY A LOT.

YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A VOTE THERE.

MR. BASKERVILLE.

ANYONE ELSE? OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT.

AND AND ALSO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING PROACTIVE AND GOING OUT AND DOING THE SURVEY AND FINDING OUT WHAT OUR WHAT OUR STAFF WAS WAS THINKING.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU GUYS RECOMMEND AND OUR STAFF IS HAPPY WITH.

SO THAT WAS THAT WAS VERY FORWARD THINKING AND REFLECTS WELL ON YOU GUYS.
