[E. INTRODUCTION OF MEETING]

STINSON. IT IS MY HONOR TO BE HERE THIS EVENING REPRESENTING HARDEMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

TONIGHT, I AM PROUD TO INTRODUCE TWO OUTSTANDING FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS WHO EXEMPLIFY THE SPIRIT, DEDICATION, AND EXCELLENCE OF OUR CAMPUS. JOINING US ARE TUCKER GRAVES, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS PARENTS, KENDRA GRAVES AND DAD IS ON FACEBOOK WORKING OUT OF THE COUNTRY ON THERE, AND PAISLEY PEREZ JOINED BY HER PARENTS, DENISE AND ABRAHAM PEREZ. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE THEM HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

PAISLEY WILL NOW LEAD US IN THE PLEDGES, FOLLOWED BY TUCKER, WHO WILL BE PROVIDING OUR OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENT EXPRESSION.

WILL YOU ALL PLEASE RISE? I THINK THAT HARDEMAN IS AN AMAZING SCHOOL FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.

SOME OF THEM ARE. WE GIVE SOME OF THE BEST EDUCATION IN THE STATE.

WE HAVE AN AMAZING STUDENT COUNCIL, AND WE HAVE REALLY GOOD TEACHERS THAT WORK AT OUR CAMPUS.

FIRST. FIRST STUDENTS RECEIVE THE BEST EDUCATION, SOME OF THE BEST EDUCATION IN OUR SCHOOL.

FOR EXAMPLE, MY TEACHER, MISS MEYER, IS ALWAYS SAYING OUR SCHOOL EXCELS IN GIVING KIDS EDUCATION.

MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME. SO ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS ALONG WITH OUR TEACHERS, AND ALL YOU SEE ARE EXCELLING STUDENTS BECAUSE OF BECAUSE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN BY OUR TEACHERS.

ALSO THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR WE HAD A DANCE OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE STATE OF TEXAS NAMED US ONE OF THE TOP ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

IN ADDITION, MY CAMPUS HAS A STUDENT COUNCIL.

THAT IS AMAZING. WITHOUT IT, WE WOULD BE TOAST BECAUSE OUR STUDENT COUNCIL CARES ABOUT OUR SCHOOL.

I AM PERSONALLY A STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBER AND EVERY FRIDAY WE TAKE CARTS FULL OF BAGS THAT HAVE FOOD IN THEM TO GIVE TO STUDENTS.

ALSO, BEING A STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBER CAN HELP LATER ON IN LIFE AND HELP OTHER PEOPLE TOO BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU LEADERSHIP.

THE REASON I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE A FORMER STUDENT COUNCILMEMBER WENT TO HARVARD BECAUSE OF THE GREAT, BECAUSE HE WAS A GREAT LEADER, BECAUSE OF OUR STUDENT COUNCIL.

LASTLY, WE HAVE AN AMAZING TEAM. WE HAVE AMAZING TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOL.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, JUST LOOK AT OUR FIFTH GRADE TEAM. THEY GIVE IT THEIR ALL TO MAKE US FIFTH GRADERS SUCCESSFUL.

THE REASON THEY DO THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WANT US TO GET READY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND LIFE.

IN CONCLUSION, WE HAVE AWESOME TEACHERS ARE CARING BECAUSE OF OUR AWESOME TEACHERS, OUR CARING STUDENT COUNCIL AND AMAZING EDUCATION.

WE ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE STATE. THIS IS WHY I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M A ROAD RUNNER.

VERY WELL SAID. WHEN I WAS OVER THERE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, GIVING OUT SOME BOOKS

[00:05:07]

MISS FORD, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOUR YOUR STUDENTS AND YOU AND YOUR EFFORTS ON THIS, AND THAT ESSAY WAS STRUCTURED PERFECTLY. INTRO THREE PARAGRAPHS.

CONCLUSION. THE ENGLISH TEACHER CAME OUT, DIDN'T IT? VERY NICE. OKAY, WE'VE NOW COME TO THE TIME OF AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS.

STINSON, CABINET. GOOD EVENING. APRIL IS NATIONAL VOLUNTEER MONTH.

IT PROVIDES US WITH A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE THANKS TO THE MANY VOLUNTEERS WHO GIVE GENEROUSLY OF THEIR TIME, TALENTS AND HEARTS TO SUPPORT BIRDVILLE ISD. OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THEIR SERVICE PROVIDES VALUABLE SUPPORT NOT ONLY TO OUR SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS, BUT ALSO TO OUR BROADER COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.

WE PROUDLY CELEBRATE AND RECOGNIZE THE INCREDIBLE IMPACT OUR VOLUNTEERS HAVE ON BIRDVILLE ISD.

WE ARE ESPECIALLY HONORED TO RECOGNIZE THE BIRDVILLE COUNCIL OF PTAS FOR THEIR CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO SERVICE.

AMY SWIFT, PRESIDENT, HAS SERVED THE DISTRICT AND THE COUNCIL IN KEY LEADERSHIP POSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AMY HAS DONATED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN AND STAFF OF BIRDVILLE ISD.

HER DEDICATION AND PASSION ARE FELT ACROSS EVERY CAMPUS, AND WE THANK HER FOR THE DIFFERENCE SHE MAKES.

GENNY CORNELL'S FIFTH VICE PRESIDENT OF CLOSE CONNECTION, HAS WORKED COUNTLESS HOURS ENSURING STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL CLOTHING.

THIS YEAR ALONE, CLOSE CONNECTIONS SERVED 1560 STUDENTS, PROVIDING 1136 PAIRS OF SHOES.

[00:15:07]

WE ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE KAREN DIXON, SUPPLY DEPOT CHAIR, WHO HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY, TIRELESSLY BEHIND THE SCENES TO ENSURE STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT HAVE THE SCHOOL SUPPLIES THEY NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR.

HER WORK ENSURES NO STUDENT IS WITHOUT THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO THRIVE IN THE CLASSROOM.

TO ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, THANK YOU. YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND HEARTS MAKE A LASTING IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

BIRDVILLE ISD IS STRONGER BECAUSE OF YOU.

MR. PRESIDENT, WHILE THEY'RE TAKING A PICTURE, I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION THEY HAD 1136 PAIRS OF SHOES.

I THINK OUR FELLOW TRUSTEE, MR. DILKS, MAY HAVE DONE A THOUSAND OF THOSE WHERE HE WASHED THEM AND CLEANED THEM UP.

SO THANK YOU, KELVIN, FOR ALL THOSE THAT YOU PREPARED FOR THAT FOR OUR STUDENTS.

THAT'S GREAT. IT WAS A BUNCH.

DID YOU KEEP A COUNT OF HOW MANY YOU DID, KELVIN, BY CHANCE? I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA. TRUCKLOADS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT FOR THIS PART OF THE MEETING. YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE REST OF THE BOARD MEETING, OR FEEL FREE TO LEAVE AT THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT.

AS NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK DURING THIS PART OF THE MEETING, WE WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.

[H. PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD]

WE'LL COME TO OUR PRESENTATION, AND WITH HER THIS EVENING IS ERIN MORGAN.

THESE LADIES REPRESENT OUR BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT DREES AND BOARD AND DR.

SIMPSON, THANKS FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. WE'RE THE ERRANDS IN PLACE OF CHRIS MCDONALD.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE. THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MET ON APRIL 15TH FOR ONE OF OUR SPEEDIEST MEETINGS.

I MUST SAY, I THINK IT'S. THE RECAP. WILL BE SHORT AND SWEET TONIGHT, TOO, BECAUSE WE'RE CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP SO MANY OF THE PROJECTS FROM THE 2022 BOND.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THE FIRST ONE IS THE BOB GRIGGS HIGH SCHOOL AND LINDA KUNKEL SPECIALIZED LEARNING CENTER.

THAT PROJECT WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE IN MAY.

THEY'RE JUST WAITING ON THE CITY'S OCCUPANCY PERMITS.

THERE MIGHT BE PUNCH LIST ITEMS TO FINISH, BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE READY FOR EXCITED STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND FAMILIES BACK TO SCHOOL TIME. AFTER SOME DELAYS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT, WE'RE THRILLED TO SEE THIS FINISHED CAMPUS AT THE RIBBON CUTTING ON MAY 16TH.

MAYBE WE CAN PEEK IN THE WINDOWS BEFORE THEN.

MULLENDORE IS THE NEXT. IT'S GOING TO BE OUR NEW STEM ELEMENTARY.

THE PROJECT HAS BEEN ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

IT WILL BE COMPLETE THIS MONTH. FURNITURE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN THIS WEEK.

THE PHOTOS LOOK GORGEOUS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE IN THIS.

YEAH, THERE THEY ARE. THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL, SO I CAN'T WAIT TO GET INSIDE AND SEE THAT.

I THINK THAT RIBBON CUTTING IS NOT TILL AUGUST, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE.

YAY! WE'RE SO EXCITED. I'M SURE THE STAFF AND KIDS ARE EXCITED, TOO.

SMITH ELEMENTARY IS NEXT. IT STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS BEHIND MULLENDORE, BUT IT IS ON SCHEDULE TO BE COMPLETED BY JUNE WITH THE FURNITURE GOING IN JULY, AND IT'S READY TO BE A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE'RE READY FOR MR. SMITH'S SPEECH AT THE RIBBON CUTTING IN AUGUST.

SMITH IS ALSO UNDER BUDGET, WHICH THE COMMITTEE WAS HAPPY TO LEARN, AND IN FACT, THE MAJORITY OF THE PROJECT IN THIS BOND APPEAR TO BE COMING IN UNDER BUDGET, WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING TO HEAR, AND I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL.

SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT, AND NEXT ONE IS HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL.

THEIR RENOVATIONS AND THE DANCE AND CHEER BUILDING ADDITION WILL BE COMPLETE BY FALL OF 25 AND READY FOR THE STUDENTS, AND THEN THERE IS A LIST OF SUMMER PROJECTS. THOSE INCLUDE ROOFING AT MULTIPLE CAMPUSES AND BUILDINGS, HVAC AT THE FAAC, SPICER AND THE FIRST HALF OF SMITHFIELD MIDDLE FLOORING AT HALTOM MIDDLE ELECTRICAL, WHICH INCLUDES OUTDOOR LIGHTING AND REPLACING SOME AGING SYSTEMS AT MULTIPLE CAMPUSES.

PLUMBING AT MULTIPLE CAMPUSES AND THE ELEVATOR UPGRADES AT BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, AND ALL THOSE ITEMS HAVE A 60 DAY WINDOW FOR COMPLETION.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING REALLY HARD ON THOSE THIS SUMMER TO GET FINISHED BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS.

[00:20:04]

ALL THE NEW CHROMEBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, AND PLANS ARE BEING MADE FOR SUMMER DEPLOYMENT TO ALL INCOMING SIXTH AND NINTH GRADERS AND ALL NEW, NEW TO BISD SECONDARY STUDENTS. PLUS ALL OF THE SECOND GRADE CLASSROOMS, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S IN HERE, BUT WE GOT TO SEE SOME AWESOME DRONE FOOTAGE OF THE STORED CHROMEBOOKS IN THE WAREHOUSE, AND THEY'RE READY TO GO.

NEXT IS THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT. UPGRADES ARE THEY'RE ON SCHEDULE TO BE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER.

THIS WILL ENABLE THE DISTRICT TO ENJOY FASTER NETWORK SPEEDS AND INCREASED POWER SAVINGS ONCE SCHOOL STARTS.

WE LEARNED THAT THEY ALSO SHUT OFF WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN USE, WHICH SAVES ENERGY AND MONEY, AND WE LOVE ALL THAT SAVINGS. FINALLY, THE NEW FLAT PANEL DISPLAYS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND UPGRADES TO SERVERS, STORAGE AND OTHER DATA CENTER EQUIPMENT IS CONTINUING.

SO THE NEXT TIME WE SEE YOU, OUR COMMITTEE SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN THIS SUMMER AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FINAL RECAP.

RECAP, AND I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR INCLUDING OUR VOICES IN THIS PROCESS.

I KNOW THAT NOT ALL DISTRICTS UTILIZE THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT, SO I'M THANKFUL THAT YOU, AS A BOARD, HAVE ALWAYS CHOSEN TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AND SHARE THIS BOND PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH WITH THE BIRDVILLE COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER.

GOOD. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? JUST JUST A COMMENT.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU GIVE BECAUSE IT DOES GIVE THE SYSTEMS CREDIBILITY WHERE CITIZENS HAVE MOMS THAT ARE AND BUSINESS LEADERS THAT ARE IN THE COMMUNITY SAY BIRDVILLE ISD DID WHAT THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD DO, AND YOU HEAR THE MAGIC WORD UNDER BUDGET.

I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T THANK DR. SCOTT NIVEN AND OUR PARTNERSHIP, WE HAVE WITH LEE LEWIS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER BUDGET, AND WE HAVE TO DO EXTRA THINGS WITH COST OF THOSE THINGS ARE UNDER BUDGET.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, BUT IT'S A GREAT TEAM EFFORT AND I'M GLAD THAT Y'ALL ARE PART OF THAT TEAM.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT WE HAVE THE 2526 PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR.

DR. CLARK. HAVE DR. JENNIFER PERRY AND SARAH UPCHURCH.

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DEPARTMENT, AND THEY DO AMAZING WORK, AND AS YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR CALENDAR PROCESS, WE DO HAVE WAIVERS THAT WE ASK THE STATE TO APPROVE AND THAT WE BRING TO THE BOARD, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PRESENT THE ENTIRE PLAN, AS WELL AS THE WAIVER REQUEST THAT WILL BE IN THE CONSENT AGENDA.

GREAT. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, DR. STINSON, PRESIDENT DREES AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

WE ARE HONORED TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT WHAT WE HAVE ON THE HORIZON FOR NEXT YEAR'S PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

HERE IN BISD, AS YOU'VE LIKELY SEEN IN YOUR NOTES, THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR IS READY FOR YOUR APPROVAL IN JUST A MOMENT.

SARAH UPCHURCH, DIRECTOR OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, WILL SHARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT WORK.

SHE'LL ALSO SHARE A GLIMPSE OF SUMMER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HERE IN BISD, AND THAT REALLY IS A WORK THAT HAS CULMINATED FROM ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM EVERY DEPARTMENT. EACH SUMMER WE STRIVE TO BUILD ON THE WORK FROM THE YEAR BEFORE, WHILE SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE YEAR AHEAD IN THE WORK THAT WE'RE SHARING TONIGHT.

WE FEEL TRULY EMBRACES OUR MANTRA OF AS ONE. YOU KNOW, BEFORE THEY GET GET GOING INTO THE PRESENTATION, I WANT TO AGAIN REITERATE HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DEPARTMENT.

NUMBER ONE, AND NUMBER TWO IT HAS BEEN SAID BY FOLKS OUTSIDE OF BISD, THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE.

I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE AWARE, BUT THEY WON THE AWARD AS THE BEST PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TEAM IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THIS YEAR.

YES. SO AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT THE AWESOME SARAH UPCHURCH HAS BEEN CHOSEN IN THE NATIONAL PROGRAM, AND TO BE A PRESENTER IN THE YEAR AND YEARS TO COME.

SO REALLY JUST PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SHOW THE BOARD SOME OF THE AMAZING CULMINATION OF IT.

WHAT WE SEE IS THE END PRODUCT, AND BUT THE BACKGROUND TO WHAT THEY CREATE FOR OUR STAFF IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND IT TRULY DOES TAKE A YEAR. THEY BEGIN ALREADY TO START ON THE NEXT YEAR, BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU AND SARAH, I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME LIVE LINKS TO TAKE THEM AND SHOW THEM YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WHEN YOU MAKE A CHOICE AS A PROFESSIONAL TO, TO STUDY SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AND THEN YOU, YOU, YOU CAN CLICK THE LINK AND, AND LEARN MORE ABOUT IT, AS IF YOU'RE AT A CONFERENCE AND IT GIVES YOU THE SUMMARY AND THEN YOU CLICK A LINK WITHIN THAT AND IT GIVES YOU THE FULL BACKGROUND.

[00:25:05]

SO I NEED TO SAY THAT BEFORE YOU GET STARTED. WELL, AND I ALSO WANTED TO THE REST OF THE BOARD, WE DON'T NORMALLY HAVE THIS PRESENTATION, BUT I ASKED FOR IT TO BE DONE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING.

SO I KNOW IT'LL TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WELL FIRST, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR.

THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR INTENTIONALLY HIGHLIGHTS TOPICS ACROSS THE TOP.

THE AREAS OF DIGITAL LEARNING AND GIFTED TALENTED.

OUR ACCRUAL ARE ALWAYS SOUGHT OUT AND THUS PROMINENTLY FEATURED ACROSS THE TOP OF THE CALENDAR.

YOU MAY NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL HYPERLINKS IN THE DOCUMENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON YOUR SLIDES, THESE HYPERLINKS EITHER TAKE THE USER TO A DESCRIPTION PAGE THAT FURTHER EXPLAINS THE PURPOSE OF THAT DAY, OR IT TAKES THE USER TO THE SUMMER CATALOG OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CHOICES.

EASE AND USE. EASE OF USE AND APPLICABILITY ARE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO THE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

THE REST OF THE CALENDAR IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, ENSURING THE VARIOUS DATES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE QUICK TO LOCATE AND UNDERSTAND.

YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE ONBOARDING EVENTS AND OUR THREE DAY NEW TEACHER ACADEMY.

ADDITIONALLY, THE CALENDAR COMMITTEE PLACED MULTIPLE DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO THAT OUR TEACHERS NAVIGATING THE NEW CURRICULUM COULD HAVE TIMELY AND SPIRALED SUPPORT. THESE DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAYS ARE ALLOWABLE IN PART BY YOUR APPROVAL OF THE DESIGN OF THE DESIGNATED WAIVER DAYS.

THIS NEXT SLIDE SHARES WHY THE STAFF DEVELOPMENT WAIVER DAYS ARE SO CRUCIAL FOR OUR EDUCATORS, BUT I WILL NOT READ ALL OF THAT TO YOU BEFORE THE TIME CLOSES, THOUGH WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T SHARE THE LEARNING VINE WITH YOU, WHICH IS WHAT DR. STINSON WAS REFERRING TO WITHIN YOUR NOTES.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A DIRECT LINK TO THE SUMMER CATALOG, WHICH WE LOVINGLY CALL THE LEARNING VINE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE CONSENT SHEET OR DAVE CAN ALSO.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO TALK THROUGH IT WHILE LET ME TALK THROUGH THE SLIDES AND THEN YOU CLICK THROUGH.

IS THAT GOOD. THIS IS THE CLICKABLE VERSION THE ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

NOPE. THAT'S LAST YEAR'S. OKAY. CAN YOU GO TO YEAH, THE LINKS ON THE COVER SHEET OF THE BOARD CONSENT.

WHILE HE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT, CAN YOU GO TO THE SLIDES SO THAT I CAN SHOW I'LL CLICK THROUGH THE SLIDES WHILE HE IS LOOKING FOR THE LINK.

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO WITHIN YOUR NOTES, THOUGH, YOU SHOULD HAVE A DIRECT LINK TO THE SUMMER CATALOG THAT HE IS LOOKING TO FIND.

WHEN WE GET TO IT HE'S GOING TO CLICK ON THE LINKS AND GO, AND WE WILL GO EXPLORING THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

HOWEVER, I'M GOING TO EMAIL YOU TONIGHT THE LINK TO THE SUMMER CATALOG SO THAT YOU CAN ALSO GO EXPLORING YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU GETTING TO EXPERIENCE THE LEARNING VINE FIRSTHAND IS BETTER THAN ANY THAN ANY TALKING THROUGH THAT I COULD DO, WHICH IS WHAT DR. STINSON WAS HOPING FOR. OUR SUMMER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING WAS DESIGNED WITH INTERTWINED IDEAS AND WITH COLLABORATIVE GROWTH AT ITS HEART.

REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE DISTRICT HAVE MET MONTHLY SINCE AUGUST OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR TO DEVELOP A USER FRIENDLY, TWO WEEK LONG PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EVENT FULL OF GROWTH AND ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

NOW WE ARE OFFERING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SUMMER, BUT THE BULK OF OUR SESSIONS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE PLC JULY 7TH THROUGH 17TH.

YOU CAN USE THE CHANNELS ALONG THE TOP OF THE SITE TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CATALOG.

THIS SLIDE WHICH THE CHANNELS ALONG THE TOP. NOW YOU CAN NAVIGATE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CATALOG THAT WAY.

THIS SLIDE IN PARTICULAR SHOWS A PORTION OF WHAT THE TWO WEEK EVENT LOOKS LIKE.

WE'VE NOT ONLY ORGANIZED THE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES DAY BY DAY, BUT ALSO HAVE THEM FEATURED BY TOPIC, AND WE BELIEVE THIS PROVIDES THE EDUCATOR LOOKING FOR SESSIONS A MYRIAD OF WAYS TO FIND THE PERFECT PICK TO NOURISH THEIR NEEDS.

A FEATURE OF THE OF THE LEARNING VINE THIS SUMMER IS THAT WE WILL FOCUS ON FLOURISHING.

WE WANT TO NOT ONLY ATTEND TO THE GROWTH OF OUR EDUCATORS AS PROFESSIONALS, BUT ALSO AS MEMBERS OF THE BIRDVILLE ISD FAMILY.

THIS SLIDE, IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FEATURES OPPORTUNITIES TO ORDER FOOD FROM FOOD TRUCKS THAT WILL HAVE AVAILABLE SO THAT THEY CAN GRAB LUNCH WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BISD FAMILY BY DONATING TO THE CLOSE CONNECTION, OR BY SHARING MEANINGFUL LEARNING WITH THEIR WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES THROUGH THE BRING A BOOK, TAKE A BOOK INITIATIVE, AND MUCH MORE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT THE LEARNING VINE JULY 7TH THROUGH 17TH.

[00:30:04]

THANK YOU TO DR. PERRY FOR YOUR ONGOING LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION, AND THANK YOU, SCHOOL BOARD, FOR THE SEEDS THAT YOU PLANT THROUGH THE WORK THAT YOU DO THAT ALLOW SUCH POWERFUL SUPPORT FOR OUR EDUCATORS TO TAKE PLACE, AND THROUGH ALL OF THAT TALKING. DID YOU GET TO ENOUGH CLICKS TO FIND IT? ALL RIGHT, THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE WEBSITE THAT LAUNCHED TO THE ENTIRE DISTRICT LAST WEEK, MONDAY. SO IF YOU CLICK ON THE LEARNING VINE, CLICK DOWN ON FOCUS ON FLOURISHING.

THAT'S THE PAGE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE A VARIETY OF NOT NECESSARILY DIRECT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING BEING PROVIDED FOR OUR STAFF MEMBERS, BUT ITEMS THAT ARE PROVIDED THAT WILL MAKE THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EVENT AND EXPERIENCE FOR THEM THAT IS ENJOYABLE AND ALLOWS FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE AND JUST BE COLLEGIAL WITH EACH OTHER.

SO THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT AND HOW PERFECT YOU PULL UP THE CLOSE CONNECTION WHEN YOU SEE THAT.

OKAY, GREAT. YEAH. IF YOU GO ON UP TO WEEK ONE, ACTUALLY GO TO THE LEARNING VINE ITSELF.

CLICK ON THE LEARNING VINE RIGHT THERE AND SCROLL ON DOWN.

THIS IS THE TWO WEEKS JULY 7TH THROUGH 17TH. IF YOU KEEP ON SCROLLING AND IT HAS EVERYTHING THAT'S BEING OFFERED JUST SPELLED OUT SO THAT THE EDUCATOR COULD LOOK AND SEE, WHAT COULD I DO ON MONDAY IN THE AM AND THE PM AND IF I HAVE TO GET A BABYSITTER, HOW COULD I GET A BABYSITTER AND BE GONE FROM THE HOUSE FOR ONE DAY AND GET A FULL DAY OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING? OR MAYBE I HAVE ACCESS TO CHILDCARE JUST IN THE MORNINGS.

WHAT COULD I STRATEGICALLY DO IN THE AMS TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND HAVE MY KIDS TAKEN CARE OF AND STILL ENGAGE IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING? WE ALSO, FOR THAT PURPOSE, OFFER OFFER SEVERAL SESSIONS IN THE AM OR THE PM AND THE PM SO THAT DEPENDING ON THE SCHEDULE OF OUR TEACHERS IN THE SUMMER IF THEY AREN'T AVAILABLE AT ONE, MAYBE THEY'D BE AVAILABLE FOR THE OTHER.

THE IT'S COLOR CODED SO THAT TEACHERS CAN EASILY SEE WHAT'S GEARED JUST FOR ELEMENTARY, WHAT'S GEARED JUST FOR SECONDARY, AND WHAT'S GEARED FOR ANYBODY. IF YOU CLICK ON SAY SAY THEY WANT TO GO TO THAT STRATEGICALLY PLANNING FOR SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION RIGHT THERE, IT'S AT THE TOP LEFT OR.

YEAH. THAT TOO, YEP. IT TAKES YOU RIGHT TO THE LINK WHERE THE STAFF MEMBER CAN READ A DESCRIPTION.

THEY CAN SEE THE AUDIENCE WHO IT'S GEARED TO LIKE K THROUGH TWO TEACHERS OR ANY LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH TEACHER.

YOU CAN SEE THE DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOG, AND THEN IT'S GOT REGISTRATION LINKS RIGHT THERE WHERE THEY CAN EASILY GO YEP THAT'S THE THING THAT I WANT TO GO TO AND CLICK AND REGISTER THROUGH. DON'T CLICK ON IT BECAUSE IT'LL DO TOO MANY.

IT'LL BE TOO MANY CLICKS WHERE YOU HAVE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY REGISTER. IF YOU GO ON OVER TO OFFERINGS BY TOPIC ALONG THE TOP, JUST CLICK ON THE WORD OFFERINGS BY TOPIC AND IT TAKES YOU TO A LANDING PAGE WHERE IT HAS EVERY TOPIC THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PURSUE.

AS A TEACHER TO LOOK FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

IF YOU DON'T WANT, IF YOU'RE NOT IN PARTICULAR ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON JULY 7TH, BUT YOU WANT TO GO TO ALL THE ELEMENTARY MATH OPTIONS, THEN YOU COULD NAVIGATE THE CATALOG THAT WAY, AND IF YOU WANT TO CLICK ON ONE OF THE BUTTONS IT'LL TAKE YOU TO.

SESSIONS THAT FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY. IF YOU CLICK ON NESTFEST, IT IS PROVIDED BY DIGITAL LEARNING, GEARED TO TEACHERS IN THEIR FIRST THREE YEARS OF TEACHING.

SO IT'S REALLY DIFFERENTIATED WELL, 0 TO 2 YEARS, HAVING COMPLETED REALLY GEARED TOWARDS THE LEARNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DIGITAL LEARNING TOOLS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN BISD, WHICH IS JUST SO, SO AMAZING.

WE WANT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN THERE'S GOOD TO KNOW AND THANK YOUS THERE TOO, THAT ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OUR PEOPLE.

EVEN IF YOU CLICK ON THE GOOD TO KNOW DAVE, YOU CAN GO TO THE NEW TEACHER ACADEMY.

WELCOME, AND SO EVEN OUR NEW HIRES IMMEDIATELY.

IT DIDN'T GO. HAVE ACCESS AT THEIR FINGERTIPS.

TO WHAT CAN I GET STARTED ON NOW? A REFERENCE THEN TO NESTFEST.

[00:35:05]

IF YOU KEEP ON SCROLLING DOWN, IT HAS. WHAT CAN I GET STARTED ON NOW? BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE GET HIRED IN JUNE AND THEY LIKE, WHAT CAN I DO? WHAT CAN I DO BESIDES GOING TO PROFESSIONAL LEARNING? HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU COULD GET STARTED ON RIGHT NOW, AND IT GIVES THEM A SENSE OF PEACE TO KNOW I'M ALREADY GETTING AHEAD OF THE GAME BY WORKING AT MY OWN PACE OVER THE SUMMER AND THEN SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND WHATNOT.

SO YOU GET THE IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CATALOG, I THINK.

I THINK I TALKED MORE THAN MY ALLOWED TIME, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU WANTED MR. DREES WANTED YOU TO EXPERIENCE IT. SO T HAT'S THE SUMMER CATALOG.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT LOOKS AMAZING. MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE SOME IF I HAD TIME TO DO SO, BUT PLEASE DO IT, AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT OF EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THE DISTRICT.

SO I CANNOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT. I COULD RATTLE OFF ALL THE THANK YOUS PAGE.

IT TELLS YOU ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO IT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT SHE'S BEING HUMBLE ABOUT, THOUGH, IS THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL WORK THAT IT TAKES, AND IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, BUT IT TAKES SOMEBODY WHO IS REALLY A VERY DETAILED PERSON.

YOU GO INTO HER OFFICE AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE POST-IT NOTES AND THE PAPER.

SO, YES ORCHESTRATING AND BRINGING ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TOGETHER AND PUTTING IT INTO ONE APPLICATION WHERE IT'S A ONE STOP SHOP VENUE. IT MAKES IT SO EASY, AND I THINK THE NEW THING THAT WE DID THIS YEAR THAT SARAH AND JENNIFER DID WAS THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING DUPLICATION AND REDUNDANCY FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER, SHE BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER AND SAID, ALL RIGHT, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ON A, LET'S SAY GIFTED AND TALENTED OR SPECIAL ED, HOW CAN WE INFUSE THAT INTO CONTENT AREAS SO THAT YOU HAD MORE OF A WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH, SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE REDUNDANCY, AND , AND I THINK THAT WAS A VERY POSITIVE THING FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO COLLABORATE AS ONE. WELL, I WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS QUITE A USEFUL TOOL IN TEACHER RETENTION AND TEACHER ATTRACTION ATTRACTING NEW TEACHERS AS WELL, I WOULD ASSUME. ABSOLUTELY. ONE THING IT'S REALLY NICE.

LAST YEAR, I THINK, WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE REALLY PARTNERED WITH HR AND TECHNOLOGY TO ROLL THIS OUT IMMEDIATELY TO NEW TEACHERS.

SO PRIOR TEACHERS MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST WHEN THEY DO THEIR NEW TEACHER TRAINING TO GET THEIR CHROMEBOOK AND TO GET ALL OF THEIR PIECES, BUT THROUGH THIS FORMAT, WHERE AS SOON AS THEY'RE HIRED IN JUNE, WE ISSUE THEM A LAPTOP THROUGH THE HR ONBOARDING PROCESS AND THEY'RE ABLE TO START WITH THIS IMMEDIATELY. SO OUR TEACHERS TELL US THAT THEY THEY'RE OVERWHELMED WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS.

SO AS MANY THINGS AS WE CAN KIND OF GET KNOCKED OUT BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS, THEN THEY'RE NOT SO OVERWHELMED, AND , YOU KNOW, THEY CAN DO THAT AT THEIR OWN PACE.

LOVE THAT. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY WON BEST IN STATE.

YEAH. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
