SHANNON IS A PLACE TO GROW AND FEEL COMFORTABLE.
CHEYENNE IS A PLACE TO GROW AND FEEL COMFORTABLE THROUGH AND THROUGH WITH AMAZING TEACHERS WHO ALWAYS ARE WANTING TO GET TO KNOW US. AND THEY ALWAYS STRIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A QUOTE BY JOHN C MAXWELL.
TEACHERS. STUDENTS DON'T CARE WHAT TEACHERS KNOW.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOING TO SHANNON FEELS LIKE.
I'M SO SORRY. ALL OF THE TEACHERS EMBODY THIS STATEMENT.
SHANNON IS A SAFE PLACE TO BE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. GOOD JOB.
[00:05:03]
THANK YOU. STUDENTS FROM SHANNON.WE GET TO GO TO FOUR GRADUATIONS EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING.
SHANNON IS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BECAUSE THE IMPACT WE'RE MAKING UPON KIDS IS AMAZING.

THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF ACADEMY, FOUR STUDENTS ARE GIVEN THE INVALUABLE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH MENTORS WHO INSPIRE, GUIDE, AND EMPOWER THEM TO REALIZE THEIR DREAMS. THE RIPPLE EFFECTS OF THEIR WORK ARE FELT NOT ONLY IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS, BUT ALSO IN THE CULTIVATION OF CHARACTER AND AMBITION.
OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS RICHARD HAAS, THE AWARD WINNING RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL HONORS BAND.
PRESIDENT DAVIS AND BOARD MEMBERS, DR.
THE HONOR BAND CONTEST CONSISTS OF HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTORS SUBMITTING RECORDINGS OF THEIR CONCERTS FROM THE PREVIOUS SPRING AND JUDGING PANELS ANONYMOUSLY EVALUATING THESE RECORDINGS.
THERE ARE 251 FIVE-A HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
74 OF THEM CHOSE TO ENTER THIS COMPETITION AND ONLY 20 OF THEM WERE ADVANCED TO THE SEMIFINAL ROUND.
THAT ROUND WAS THOSE 20 BANDS.
RECORDINGS WERE JUDGED THIS PAST JULY AT THE TEXAS BAND ASSOCIATION BANDMASTERS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION IN SAN ANTONIO, WITH THE TOP TEN BANDS ADVANCING TO FINALS.
I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN YOUR PACKET.
THIS PLACES THEM IN THE TOP 4% OF FIVE-A HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE HIM TONIGHT.
WE HAVE SEVERAL SENIOR MEMBER STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE BAND AND EACH ONE OF THESE KIDS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT PERFORMED AT LEAST ONE SOLO IN THAT PERFORMANCE THAT GOT THEM TO THAT FINAL ROUND LANDRY DUHON, MALIA GREER, AUDREY HERMAN AND IRINA LOPEZ.

THEIR PRINCIPAL RIGHT HERE, AUXILIARY BAND DIRECTOR, THE RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL BAND.
[00:10:01]
THANK YOU.AND MR. DAVIS, BRIDGESTONE HAS WON THIS AWARD FIVE OUT OF THE LAST TEN YEARS.
IS THAT RIGHT? WELL, I'D HAVE TO LOOK.
ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THE MARCHING BAND LATELY? I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE LOOP.
I THINK WE'RE FIXING TO RECOGNIZE THAT NEW MEXICO.
YOU ALL KIND OF TOOK IT OVER LAST WEEKEND, RIGHT? YEAH. CHAMPIONS. VERY GOOD.
IT WAS BANDS OF AMERICA COMPETITION.
HE CAN DO IT. GO TO THE MICROPHONE.
CAUSE THAT WAY IT PICKS IT UP FOR THE RECORDING.
BANDS OF AMERICA IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT HOSTS REGIONALS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY THAT ATTRACTS SOME OF THE MOST ELITE ENSEMBLES, NOT JUST FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT FROM ALL ACROSS THE NATION.
AND SO WHILE WE COMPETED WITH BANDS FROM TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO, AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE WAS ONE OTHER STATE REPRESENTATIVE OR NOT, THIS INCLUDED GROUPS THAT HAVE BEEN NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS WELL IN OTHER VENUES AND IN MARCHING BAND FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE.
AND IT'S VERY RARE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.
SO WE'RE SUPER PROUD OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT YOU JUST MET.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS HERE THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS.
WHAT KIND OF HOURS OF WORK THEY PUT IN IS AMAZING.
BUT WE GET TO SEE YOU ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AT THE GAMES AND IT'S PAID OFF.
YOU'RE VERY GOOD. YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO.
AND THEY DO IT ON A PARKING LOT, A HOT PARKING LOT.
WE TRIED TO GET YOU AN INDOOR FACILITY BUT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
OKAY. AT THIS TIME, MR. DAVIS, DR. CLARK WILL DO OUR LAST RECOGNITION FOR US.
THIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME WHEN WE RECOGNIZE OUR STUDENTS.
AND I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT BIRDVILLE IS WANTING TO RECOGNIZE BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL AND RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL FOR BEING NAMED IN THE US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT 2023-24 BEST HIGH SCHOOLS RANKING.
THESE SCHOOLS HAVE DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATIONAL QUALITY, EARNING THEIR PLACE AMONG THE BEST US HIGH SCHOOLS IN BOTH THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS.
THE DISTINCTION OF BEING AMONG THE BEST PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS NOT ONLY REFLECTS THEIR COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, BUT ALSO THEIR DEDICATION TO NURTURING STUDENTS PASSIONS AND GUIDING THEM TOWARD THEIR COLLEGE AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS.
US NEWS THOROUGHLY EVALUATES PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACROSS ALL 50 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FOR THE 2324 BEST HIGH SCHOOL RANKINGS, AN EXHAUSTIVE PROCESS ENCOMPASSING 17,680 ELIGIBLE SCHOOLS AND ONLY THE TOP 40% ARE NAMED IN THIS PRESTIGIOUS LIST.
SO CONGRATULATIONS TO BIRDVILLE HALTOM AND RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE PRINCIPALS, DR.
KRISTI STRICKLAND AT HALTOM, DR.
MR. TIM DRYSDALE AT BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, AND MR. KYLE KEARNEY FOR FROM RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
LORD. THEY WANT A PICTURE WITH ALL OF US DOWN THERE, I THINK.
[00:15:07]
[INAUDIBLE] .YOU KNOW, ONE OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THAT AWARD.
SO THAT IS A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY AT THE SAME TIME.
GOOD JOB. YOU CAME FROM RIGHT HERE.
YEAH. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT FOR THAT PORTION OF THE MEETING.
WE WILL NOW PROCEED TO THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.
[H. PUBLIC HEARING]

THE RATING CALCULATIONS FOR THIS YEAR'S RATING ARE BASED ON DATA FROM THE 2122 FISCAL YEAR.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM ARE TO ACHIEVE QUALITY PERFORMANCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF THOSE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND HOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS SPEND THOSE FUNDS TO MEASURE AND REPORT THE EXTENT TO WHICH FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE ALLOCATED FOR INSTRUCTION.

ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NOPE. SEEING NONE.
ARE THERE ANY PERSONS THAT ARE PRESENT TONIGHT WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING THE FIRST REPORT? IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
I'LL DECLARE THE PUBLIC PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THIS MEETING CLOSED.
WE'LL GO TO ITEM I ARCHITECT UPDATE PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD.
[I. PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD]
MISS BOWMAN, YOU MAKE AN INTRODUCTION, PLEASE.[00:20:03]
THANK YOU, PRESIDENT DAVIS AND DR.STINSON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
YOU HAVE MOLANDER ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL FOR OUR GMP OR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR OUR BUDGET TO ACTUALLY GET STARTED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF MOLANDER WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH.
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PROJECT PROJECT MANAGER FOR FOR THE MOLANDER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE MULLENDORE BID PROCESS, HAD HUNDREDS OF BIDS COME IN AND TOOK OVER A MONTH TO PROCESS, CHECKING FOR SCOPE, CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE COVERED, THEY HAD THE CAPACITY, THEY HAD THE SCHEDULING TIMEFRAME.
AND SO I THINK WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS A REALLY GREAT BID AND GREAT PLAN.
WE HAVE THE TURF AND PRESSBOX GOING RIGHT NOW.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT ALL THREE HIGH SCHOOLS UPCOMING PROJECTS.
I HAVE SMITH ELEMENTARY AS AN UPCOMING PROJECT.
ACTUALLY, THE DEMOLITION IS HAPPENING NOW, BUT WILL COME TO A BID FOR YOU GUYS IN NOVEMBER.
THIS TAKES US THROUGH NEXT SUMMER AND THEN LONGER FOR SOME ONGOING PROJECTS.
I'LL START WITH THESE AND JUST TAKE YOU THROUGH THEM.
BOB GRIGGS HIGH SCHOOL AND LINDA KUNKEL SPECIALIZED LEARNING CENTER.
WE STARTED AT OUR CONSTRUCTION.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND THE WAS 21,613 AND WE HAD 21,601 FOR WE WERE $12,000 UNDER BUDGET DURING THAT TIME.
BUT ALL IN ALL THE PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD, WE'VE HAD A FEW ISSUES HERE AND THERE, BUT MET WITH THEM THIS WEEK AND SO WE'RE STILL MOVING AND WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL MEET THE JULY 15TH, 24 DEADLINE.
MULLENDORE. THIS IS THE BIG ONE FOR TONIGHT.
YOU'LL SEE OUR CONSTRUCTION BUDGET WAS SET AT 47 FOR 48.
OUR GMP OR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE IS 44 363.
SO WE ARE UNDER BUDGET APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE OVER $3 MILLION ON THIS PROJECT.
AND LET ME JUST TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH.
AND THIS IS THE SAME THING DAVID E SMITH IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
SO ALL ALONG THE WAY, THE LEE LEWIS WAS TALKING TO VENDORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS AND GETTING ACTUAL PRICING FROM THEM FOR THE WAY THAT WE WERE PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. SO THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS ON BID DAY.
AND THAT'S THEORETICALLY THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK AND THAT'S THE WAY IT DID WORK.
AND SO WITH THAT, WHAT EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAW AT 100% IS WHAT WAS BID.
AND THERE WERE NO CHANGES, NO ALTERNATES.
AND SO YOU HAVE 100% BASE BID AS THAT.
AND WITH YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'LL COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION ON APPROXIMATELY THE 15TH OF NEXT MONTH AND YOU'LL HAVE A THREE 1525 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND IT'LL BE DONE AND WE'LL BE MOVING IN FOR THE SUMMER FOR FALL OF 25.
SO WE STARTED THAT PROJECT WITH A BUDGET OF 12,000,541.
NOT ONLY HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THIS PROJECT IN PLAY, BUT ALSO THAT INCLUDES THE GEO INFIELD.
SO FOR THE COOLING INFIELD, JUST LIKE WE DID AT THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
[00:25:02]
SO THIS MAKES THIS A DEFINITELY A 12 MONTH FIELD THAT KIDS CAN USE ALL SUMMER WITHOUT EXTRA HEAT THAT THEY'RE FACING AS WELL.AS WE PUT SOME CONCRETE IN SOME AREAS BETWEEN THE LIKE THE DRESSING ROOMS AND THE FIELDS.
SO THERE WON'T BE TRACKING MUD BACK AND FORTH ON THE FIELDS.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY NICE PROJECT AND SOME FENCING.
SO THE FIELDS ARE GOING TO BE REALLY NICE AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE.
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 1ST.
SO AND THEY'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY DECEMBER 1ST.
WE ACTUALLY DISCUSS SCHEDULES THIS MORNING.
DEMOLITION IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE IS PLANNED TO COME TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER AT YOUR NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING.
THAT WITHIN THE BUDGET WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION, THE DEMOLITION, PLUS THE COST OF THE TRANSITION FROM FRANCISCO TO DAVID INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.
WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB ALL OF IT WITHIN THE EXISTING BUDGET.
SO I KNOW WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THAT WITH THE ADDITIONAL TRANSITION COSTS, BUT WAS LOOKING I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB IT ALL AND THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. AND SO WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THAT SAME BASICALLY TIME FRAME.
WE'LL START IN DECEMBER, SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION FIVE ONE.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE RUNNING ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF BEHIND OF MULLENDORE AND THAT'LL BE GREAT.
THAT'S A SCHEDULED TO COME TO YOU IN JANUARY.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING THIS WEEK AND THERE'S A CHANCE THAT MAY BE COMING TO YOU IN DECEMBER.
WE'RE ALMOST A MONTH AHEAD ON PLANS, BUT IN WORKING WITH THE PRINCIPAL, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO START THAT SPRING BREAK AND RUN IT THROUGH THE SUMMER AND BE READY FOR THEM WHEN SCHOOL STARTS NEXT FALL.
SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR CURRENT PLAN.
THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR MORE COMPLICATED PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON, BUT THIS IS A PLANNING TO COME TO YOU GUYS IN FEBRUARY WITH PRICING COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION BEGINNING OF APRIL.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME NEW CONSTRUCTION, INCLUDING THE CHEERLEADING AND THE DRILL TEAM AREA.
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE NEW PART OF THE BUILDING THAT WILL COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY.
THEN WE'LL HAVE A SUMMER PHASE.
SOME WILL BE GOING ON IN THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THEN THE FOLLOWING SUMMER PHASE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PRINCIPAL HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL AND LOOKING AT PHASING, LOOKING AT SCHEDULING AND TRYING TO WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY AS BEST WE CAN TO GET THIS DONE FOR THEM.
BUT YOU'LL SEE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION ON AUGUST OF 25.
WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING ON FOUR ROOFS NEXT SUMMER FOR ELEMENTARIES.
THE ACADEMY AT THOMAS WALKER CREEK, NORTH RIDGE ELEMENTARY AND SPICER ELEMENTARY.
THESE WILL BE NEW ROOFING, NEW MODIFIED BITUMEN ROOFING.
AND SO WE'VE ACTUALLY WALKED THOSE ROOFS ARE WORKING ON PLANS NOW.
AND SO WE'LL BE GETTING READY TO GO FOR NEXT SUMMER.
ALSO COMING TO YOU IN DECEMBER, WE PHASE ONE OF OUR AIR CONDITIONING HVAC UPDATE.
THIS IS A LEED LOUIS PROJECT THAT HE'LL BE WORKING ON WITH US RIGHT NOW.
AND SO WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT WITH THE PARTICULAR CAMPUSES THAT YOU SEE.
AND THAT WILL BE DONE BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
AND SOMETIMES IN EARLY SPRING WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THE PHASE TWO OF HVAC.
WE'RE WORKING ON THAT AS WELL.
THE SUMMER. THIS NEXT SUMMER, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DOING PAINTING AND FLOORING.
WE'LL BE WORKING ON THOSE AND BRINGING THEM TO BID TO YOU IN FEBRUARY.
SO THAT'S THE PLAN AND WORKING WITH TIM.
AND HE'S IN AGREEMENT THAT WE GET ALL THIS DONE AND GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.
SO NOT MUCH GOING ON AROUND HERE, BUT WE'RE STAYING BUSY.
I'VE AGAIN, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH HOW MUCH I ENJOY WORKING WITH LEE LEWIS.
[00:30:05]
THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB FOR THE DISTRICT.AND WITH THE ARCHITECTS AND CONTRACTORS, EVERYTHING IS MOVING ALONG.
CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD? MR. TOLBERT, GO AHEAD. I WAS ALSO GOING TO SAY I APPRECIATE THE ARCHITECT'S ESTIMATES COMING IN.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE VOTERS SAY IT'S GOING TO BE Y AND THEN TURN ABOUT X PLUS A BUNCH.
YOU WANT IT TO BE UNDER X IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
THAT'S GREAT. AND SO EVERYTHING'S MOVING ALONG.
THE SQUARE FOOTAGE COST IS OBVIOUSLY HIGH, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN WE THOUGHT 100 WHEN I WAS BUILDING A HIGH SCHOOL BACK ABOUT 2010 AND WE WERE WRINGING OUR HANDS OVER ABOUT $160 A FOOT.
MR. DILKS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT MOLANDER, I THOUGHT WE WERE USING THE BIRDVILLE ELEMENTARY PLANS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A IT'S A FOLLOWING.
IT'S TIED INTO THE CHENEY HILLS PLAN WITH SOME OF THE THAT'S WHERE IT STARTED.
AND I THINK WE FLIPPED IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S PRETTY MUCH TIED INTO THAT.
IS THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS TOLD.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE WALLS, THE GLASS WALLS VERSUS THE.
WELL, NOW THE I KNOW THAT WHAT I DO KNOW AS FAR AS WITH THE SAFETY ELEMENTS PUT IN, WITH THE IMPACT RESISTANT FILM, THE ALL THAT'S PUT IN, THEY DO HAVE GLASS WALLS COMING INTO THE CLASSROOMS, AS WE PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT.
BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S FOLLOWING THAT LINE, IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT IT'S THE MAJOR CHENEY ELEMENTARY FORMAT.
MY PROBLEM WITH THE GLASS WALLS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT REGULAR WALLS DON'T HAVE ANY MORE RESISTANCE THAN A GLASS WALL.
MY PROBLEM WITH IT IS IT'S DISTRACTING TO THE STUDENTS.
THERE WAS DISCUSSION WHEN WE SURVEYED TEACHERS AND THERE WERE JUST AS MANY MR. DILKS THAT WANTED THE OPENNESS AND WANTED THE WALLS.
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT'S BEEN DEBATED.
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER AS WELL, MR. DILKS, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, AND YOU GUYS LET ME KNOW IF I'M WRONG.
THERE WAS A COMPROMISE IN THAT AS WELL.
AND IN THE IN CHENEY, THERE WERE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GLASS IN THE WALLS, THREE PANELS, I'M THINKING.
AND IN THIS NEW BILL, THERE'S ONLY ONE.
SO THERE WAS, I THINK, SIGNIFICANT COMPROMISE.
MR. DILKS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.
I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS LESS GLASS THAN THE PREVIOUS WALL.
IT WAS MY RECOLLECTION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LESS GLASS AND WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE ABILITY FOR TEACHERS THAT DIDN'T WANT THAT DISTURBANCE TO JUST PULL A CURTAIN AND JUST GOT EVERY ONE OF THEM HAD THE CURTAIN BUILT IN THAT CAN BE USED.
AND THE MAIN HALL IS NOT BUILT LIKE MAJOR, LIKE CHENEY HILLS.
IT IS BUILT MORE AND DESIGNED MORE LIKE BIRDVILLE ELEMENTARY, WITH WHERE THE CLASSROOMS OPEN INTO A COLLABORATION THAT IS BLOCKED OFF FROM THE MAIN HALL.
I THINK THAT IN GOING BACK, I'M TRYING TO I'M SORRY.
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER AS WE SPOKE, IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
BUT THEY TOOK THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS FROM THAT SURVEY.
THE TEACHERS TOLD US WHAT THEY LIKED ABOUT EACH OF THOSE CAMPUSES AND TRIED TO MODEL AFTER THAT.
AND I THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS MULLENDORE WAS GOING TO BE LIKE BIRDVILLE ELEMENTARY.
OR I WOULD HAVE SAID MORE ABOUT MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY WHEN WE WERE THERE.
ANY COMMENTS DOWN HERE OR QUESTIONS FOR MR. DOCTOR? ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, SIR. ITEM I TWO IS HOUSE BILL THREE BOARD GOALS.
[00:35:02]
DR. CLARK. THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOUSE BILL THREE SCHOOL BOARD'S ADOPTED PLANS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERACY AND MATH, AS WELL AS COLLEGE CAREER AND MILITARY READINESS.PART OF THIS REQUIREMENT INCLUDES AN ANNUAL REVIEW BY THE BOARD.
AT A PUBLIC MEETING TONIGHT, DR.
GOOD EVENING. THIS WILL BE RATHER SHORT.
WE START WITH EXCUSE ME, THE THIRD GRADE REGARDING READING LITERACY.
AND WE HAVE EXCUSE ME, AN INCREASE FROM 45% TO 60% BY 2024.
SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE PARENTHESES WAS THE ACTUAL VERSUS WHAT WAS SCHEDULED.
AND SO THEREFORE, IN 2022, THERE WAS AN ADJUSTMENT MADE.
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IN SPRING 2023 WE HAD 51% WAS THE ACTUAL.
I DO WANT TO NOTE A REMINDER THAT THE SPRING 2023 ASSESSMENT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED.
IT IS NO LONGER A READING ASSESSMENT.
SO AS A RESULT, THE GOAL HAS REMAINED THE SAME.
THE MATHEMATICS FOR THIRD GRADE WAS 48 TO 54% AND AGAIN THE GOALS WERE UPDATED IN FALL 2022.
THE LAST ONE IS THE CMR COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS.
BUT LAST YEAR IN 2022 WE HAD 63.
OUR ACTUAL WAS 58 AND AGAIN ENDING IN 2024 AT 65%.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? FOR DR. UPHOFF? THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.

[00:40:02]
PLANS, THEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT MONTH TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES.HOWEVER, FOR RIGHT NOW, JUST WANTED YOU TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PLANS TO KNOW THAT THE CAMPUSES HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THEM SINCE THE SUMMER, AND THAT NOW THAT THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN HAS GONE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE, WHICH WE MET LAST TUESDAY, I MEAN, LAST MONDAY TO REVIEW THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN WITH THEM, AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED TONIGHT AS AN ACTION ITEM THAT REALLY KIND OF FINALIZES THE PIECE THAT CAMPUS NEEDS AS THEY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THEIR PLANS FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
