[E. INTRODUCTION OF MEETING]

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT KUNKEL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DOCTOR STINSON, IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT TORY SAPP AND STUDENT COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT JACOB LEWIS. TORY WILL NOW LEAD US IN THE PLEDGES, FOLLOWED BY JACOB, WHO WILL BE PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENT EXPRESSION.

WOULD YOU PLEASE RISE? I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE TEXAS.

ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.

HELLO BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JACOB LEWIS AND I'M THE COLLEGIATE ACADEMY OF BIRDVILLE, VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT COUNCIL.

I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ALL, SO I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT WHY THE COLLEGIATE ACADEMY OF BIRDVILLE, AKA CAB, IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT.

CAB STANDS OUT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T JUST PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE.

IT ALLOWS THEM TO BEGIN THEIR COLLEGE JOURNEY WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL, STUDENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EARN COLLEGE CREDITS AND IN MOST CASES, GRADUATE WITH AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE OR A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLETED HOURS.

THIS GIVES THEM A MAJOR HEAD START, SAVING BOTH TIME AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FUTURE TUITION.

THOUSANDS. BEYOND ACADEMICS, CAB CREATES A FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE SURROUNDED BY PEERS WHO ARE MOTIVATED AND DRIVEN, WHICH NATURALLY PUSHES EVERYONE TO GROW AND SUCCEED.

THE EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGHER, BUT SO IS THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT, HELPING STUDENTS DEVELOP DISCIPLINE, RESPONSIBILITY AND STRONG TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS.

BY EXPERIENCING COLLEGE LEVEL COURSEWORK EARLY, STUDENTS BECOME MORE CONFIDENT AND BETTER PREPARED FOR THE TRANSITION AFTER GRADUATION.

OVERALL, CAB IS NOT JUST ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL OPTION.

IT IS A PATHWAY THAT ACCELERATES STUDENTS SUCCESS AND OPENS DOORS EARLIER, MAKING IT A STRONG AND MORE EFFECTIVE CHOICE THAN A TRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

ON BEHALF OF THE COLLEGIATE ACADEMY STUDENT BODY, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE BOARD FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE DISTRICT AND GIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO DOCTOR KLAERNER. SHE CONSTANTLY PRIORITIZES STUDENTS AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SUPPORT US.

WE TRULY FEEL THAT AND IT MAKES A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[00:05:05]

[F. AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS]

SO GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT KUNKEL, DOCTOR STINSON, ALL OF OUR TRUSTEES.

IT IS MY HONOR TO SHARE THESE RECOGNITIONS WITH YOU.

WE START TONIGHT WITH A VERY PRESTIGIOUS AWARD THAT RECOGNIZES THE WORK OF EVERY STUDENT, EVERY TEACHER, INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER, ADMINISTRATOR, EMPLOYEE AND FAMILY AND COMMUNITY MEMBER.

I'D LIKE TO ASK DOCTOR JENNIFER PERRY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CAMPUS SUPPORT, TO JOIN ME WITH THIS PRESENTATION, PLEASE, AS SHE COMES DOWN, I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.

OUT OF MORE THAN 1200 DISTRICTS ACROSS TEXAS, BIRDVILLE ISD HAS BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 25 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE 2026 H-E-B EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS. THAT IS A BIG, BIG DEAL.

DOCTOR PERRY LED THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE AWARD, WHICH FOCUSED ON THE BIRDVILLE ISD PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE AND OUR WORK IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM H, THE PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD.

[H.1. 2026-27 Professional Learning Calendar [Presented by Sarah Upchurch, Director]]

SURPRISES ME EVERY TIME. YEAH, I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

HELLO EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME COME TONIGHT AND BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS RIVETING.

AND IT'S THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR FOR 26-27 AS, AS PER DMA LOCAL POLICY THE BOARD SHALL REVIEW IT EACH YEAR. AND SO I'D LIKE TO SHOW THAT TO YOU.

I'M JUST GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT. THE SUMMER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OR THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CALENDAR ITSELF ALWAYS HIGHLIGHTS THE SUMMER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPTIONS AT THE TOP AND KEY ITEMS OF INTEREST THAT PEOPLE TEND TO WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AT THEIR FINGERTIPS, LIKE DIGITAL LEARNING AND GETTING THEIR GT HOURS IN.

[00:35:04]

AND IT IS A CONFERENCE STYLE COLLABORATION INTER-DEPARTMENT COLLABORATION OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT IS JUST, I MEAN A FANTASTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AND OUR TEACHERS WERE INCREDIBLY THANKFUL FOR IT LAST YEAR.

IT WAS OUR FIRST YEAR. AND SO WE CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO SPOIL THEM AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH THE, THE ATMOSPHERE THAT WE PROVIDE DURING THAT TIME.

AND I WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT. JUST A SECOND, SARAH. I MEAN, OUR OUR FOLKS ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY GO TO A SUMMER, A CATALOG AND, AND GO SHOPPING FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT.

THEY, THEY SO CHOOSE TO DO DURING THAT TIME FRAME IN THE SUMMER.

IT'S AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY THAT THAT THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DEPARTMENT PUTS TOGETHER AND, AND OUR STAFF ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT PARTICIPATES.

BUT THE FACT THAT AS A DISTRICT, OUR FOLKS CAN GO TO OUR OWN SUMMER CONFERENCE AND CHOOSE FROM A CATALOG OF AN ARRAY OF CONTENT AND NOT HAVE TO LEAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, THOUGH THEY CERTAINLY CAN.

BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THAT ARE PROVIDED AND THAT YOU GUYS ORGANIZE TO ME IS AMAZING.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. AND THE TEACHERS ARE EQUALLY ECSTATIC, ECSTATIC AND JUST THANKFUL FOR IT. SWING BY THE PLC DURING THE, DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.

THEN ONCE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS, WE'VE GOT THE NEW TEACHER ACADEMY.

LIKE WE'VE HAD FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THESE THREE DAYS FOCUS IN THE LAST DAY FOCUSES ON FIRST YEAR TEACHERS ONLY WHERE WE INTRODUCE THEM TO CLASSROOM SUPPORT STRATEGIES AS WELL AS GIVE THEM THEIR MANDATORY T TESTS ORIENTATION.

YOU'LL SEE THE REST OF THE YEAR IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH BACK TO SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, WHERE WE BALANCE IT WITH CAMPUS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, DISTRICT, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, CAMPUS TEAM BUILDING, AND TEACHER WORK DAYS.

WE ALSO OFFER A DISTRICT SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE DAY BECAUSE THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS QUITE AN EXTENSIVE CLEARINGHOUSE OF MANDATORY TRAININGS THAT STAFF MEMBERS HAVE TO DO. AND SO THIS GIVES THE TEACHERS TIME BACK TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THOSE MANDATORY TRAININGS THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO DO ON THEIR OWN TIME AS WELL AS KEEPS OUR DISTRICT ALIGNED AND ALIGNED IN SAFETY PROTOCOLS SO THAT WE KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE.

AND THEN AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES, WE ALSO HAVE WE HAVE DISTRICT AND CAMPUS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAYS BUILT IN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

OF SPECIAL NOTE FOR YOU THIS YEAR IS THAT WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE STATE MANDATE TO HAVE A FALL AND SPRING PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE DAYS ON NOVEMBER 3RD AND FEBRUARY 11TH THIS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

AND DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT? I LOVE YOUR COLOR SCHEMES.

YEAH. ORANGE IS TEACHER WORKDAYS. GREEN CAMPUS.

YEAH. YEAH. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE.

EXTENSIVE. YOU HAVE REVIEWED IT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. ITEM I WE'RE REQUIRED TO TALK ABOUT OUR ANNUAL BOARD TRAINING

[I. REQUIRED ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF BOARD TRAINING HOURS [Board President]]

AS BOARD PRESIDENT, I'M REQUIRED TO ANNOUNCE THE NAME OF EACH BOARD MEMBER WHO HAS COMPLETED, EXCEEDED, OR DEFICIENT IN MEETING. THIS REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION.

JUST A FEW WORDS ABOUT IT. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAINING ARE MEASURED AS OF THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY DATE OF THE TRUSTEES ELECTION OR APPOINTMENT, IF APPLICABLE. THERE ARE EIGHT TRAINING AREAS THAT WE HAVE CONTINUING EDUCATION THAT'S REQUIRED FOR LOCAL DISTRICT OPERATIONS.

ORIENTATION TO THE EDUCATION CODE OF TEXAS POST LEGISLATIVE UPDATE TO THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE TEAM BUILDING ADDITIONAL CONTINUING EDUCATION, EVALUATING STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND SETTING GOALS.

IDENTIFYING AND REPORTING ABUSE, TRAFFICKING AND OTHER MALTREATMENT OF CHILDREN HAS BEEN RECENTLY ADDED IN RECENT YEARS IN SCHOOL SAFETY. I'D LIKE TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THAT ALL SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS JOE TOLBERT, KELVIN DILKS, BRENDA SANDERS-WISE, MATT WOMBLE, RICHARD DAVIS, CHRIS DREES, AND MYSELF, PLACES ONE THROUGH SEVEN AND I'M PLACE SIX HAVE COMPLETED OR EXCEEDED THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR THE 2526 RECORDING PERIOD.

ITEM J INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS. DOCTOR CLARK THE FIRST READING OF OUR LOCAL POLICY UPDATE AFFECTING THE LISTED

[J.1. Birdville ISD Proposed Local Policy Update Affecting Local Policy Listed (First Reading) [Dr. Skip Baskerville, Associate Superintendent]]

[00:40:08]

WE HAVE CURRENTLY IN OUR POLICY, IT ALLOWS THE PRACTICE OF LESS THAN ANNUAL APPRAISALS FOR TEACHERS WHO HAVE QUALIFYING SCORES AND A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS IN SERVICE.

SO THAT CAUSES US TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE IN THE, THE POLICY AND INSERT IN THERE THAT TEACHERS WHO ARE IN THE LOCAL DESIGNATION BEING CONSIDERED FOR LOCAL DESIGNATION FOR TIA.

THOSE CONTENT AREAS SUBJECT IN GRADE LEVELS. THEY HAVE, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ANNUAL APPRAISAL EACH YEAR IN ORDER FOR THE DATA TO BE COLLECTED AND SENT TO TEXAS TECH. SO ACCORDINGLY, THIS CLARIFICATION THEN HAS BEEN EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT THE POLICY TO ENSURE A CONSISTENT UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY TEACHER ASSIGNED TO A COURSE OR SUBJECT INCLUDED IN THE LOCAL TIA DESIGNATION SYSTEM WILL BE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO AN ANNUAL EVALUATION. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS POLICY. THE FIRST READING.

OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO TO ITEM K SEPARATE ACTION ITEMS.

[K.1. Consider Personnel Items as Discussed in Closed Session]

DO I HEAR A MOTION FOR PERSONNEL ITEMS? MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE THE BOARD APPROVE AND ADOPT ALL PERSONNEL ITEMS, INCLUDING CONTRACT RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT.

I SECOND. THANK YOU, MR. DILKS AND MR. DREES FOR THE MOTION AND THE SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY RAISE HAND. AND IT IS UNANIMOUS.

DOCTOR STINSON YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

I JUST DIDN'T I DIDN'T KNOW IF IF VICTORIA SMALL, CARRIE KEATING OR ALISON SHEFFIELD WERE HERE OR NOT.

SO KNOW IF THEY WERE I WAS JUST GOING TO GET THEM TO SAY HI.

SO THERE'LL BE A COMMUNICATION ABOUT THOSE THREE NAMES HERE IN A FEW MINUTES, I THINK.

ABSOLUTELY. PEOPLE CAN SEE THOSE. ITEM TWO CONSIDER THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT FINANCIAL SPENDING PLAN.

[K.2. Consider the Teacher Incentive Allotment Financial Spending Plan [Dr. Elizabeth Clark, Associate Superintendent]]

THANK YOU. MRS. SANDERS-WISE. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. SECONDED BY MR. DREES. DISCUSSION.

QUESTIONS. BEFORE WE VOTE, MR. TOLBERT. YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE IS THAT THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT PLAN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEAM FOR FOR SPEARHEADING THAT.

AND I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY. I KNOW A LOT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE FIRST TIME THEY TURNED THEIR APPLICATION IN.

IT'S NOT IT'S DENIED. SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU GUYS ON THAT.

BUT I BUT FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR TEAM. I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS AS WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD, BUT THOSE CONCERNS ARE ALSO OUTWEIGHED BY THE FACT THAT UNDER THIS PLAN, ALL OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS ARE EITHER CURRENTLY DOING IT OR CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IT LIKE WE ARE, AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY DELTA BETWEEN THE TIA, WHAT IT PAYS AND WHAT NON TIA PAYS IS JUST TOO GREAT.

SO TO STAY COMPETITIVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS.

SO WHILE IT MAY HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT, THAT'S THOSE HAVE TO BE PUT ASIDE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO STAY COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET.

THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY'S DOING. I ALSO WANT TO MAKE ONE OTHER POINT THAT I SEE CONSTANTLY ONLINE AND THAT THEY SAY, WELL, YEAH, JUST POUR MORE MONEY IN. THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.

THAT'S WHAT ALL YOU PEOPLE IN EDUCATION SAY, JUST MORE MONEY AND THAT'S IT.

HOWEVER, I WANT EVERYBODY TO GO LOOK AT ALL THESE SCHOOLS AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM NOW THAT GET TAKEN OVER BY THE STATE.

AND THEIR NUMBER ONE GOAL, STATED GOAL IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.

AND GUESS WHAT THEY DO? IN EVERY CASE, THEY START PAYING TEACHERS A LOT OF MONEY.

FORT WORTH IS PAYING FROM 88 TO $100,000 TO TEACHERS.

WHY? MUST MAKE SOME DIFFERENCE TO PAY TEACHERS WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY WORTH.

SO WHEN PEOPLE TELL YOU, OH, THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS ALWAYS SAY, JUST MORE MONEY AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
