[4. RECOGNITIONS]

MR. WILSON, ARE YOU UP? YOU'RE UP.

AND A VERY GOOD MONDAY EVENING TO YOU ALL. GOOD EVENING.

JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS AGO, WE WERE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE CARROLL ISD'S IMPRESSIVELY LARGE LIST OF NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS IN THE COLLEGE BOARD SCHOLARSHIP PROCESS. THOSE 35 SENIORS HAD SEVERAL ADDITIONAL STEPS TO ACHIEVE IF THEY WERE TO MOVE FROM SEMIFINALIST TO FINALIST.

IT GIVES ME GREAT JOY TO INFORM YOU THIS EVENING THAT WE HAVE 33 SENIORS WHO HAVE EARNED THAT FINALIST DISTINCTION.

AMONG THESE 33 SENIORS IS ONE STUDENT WHO JOINED THE DISTRICT IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THREE WHO HAVE BEEN WITH CISD SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SIX WHO HAVE WORN THE DRAGON GREEN SINCE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, AND A WONDERFUL 23 WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS GREAT DISTRICT SINCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

TO THAT POINT, I KNOW I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THESE 33 TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE AMAZING ARMY OF CARROLL ISD EDUCATORS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THEM ACROSS ALL 11 CISD CAMPUSES.

IT'S THE EDUCATION AND NURTURE SHARED WITH THESE YOUNG PEOPLE BY THEIR FAMILIES AND BY THESE EDUCATORS THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ACHIEVE THIS IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.

AND IT'S MY HONOR TO READ THOSE 33 NAMES TO YOU NOW.

MANY OF THEM IN THEIR INCREDIBLE BUSY LIVES AND SHORT NOTICE TO BE WITH US TONIGHT, WEREN'T ABLE TO BE SO.

BUT WE DO HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT WERE ABLE TO BE HERE FOR US TONIGHT.

SO AS I FLY THROUGH THOSE NAMES, WHEN YOU HEAR YOURS, YOU CAN TAKE A FEW MORE STEPS FORWARD, BEGINNING WITH VIVEK [INAUDIBLE], CAITLYN BARTLETT, KEN BRAY, LUKE BROWN, MATTHEW KAI, ARIA KETNA, JACK COUCH, ASHLEY CUSICK, CYDNEY DENK, ETHAN FU, SHANI GANDHI, KIDA GUNTER, MAYLEE HIGHSTEIN, AUDREY. HENDRICKSON, RILEY HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN HINDMAN, ANDERSON PATRICK, MEGA KADIYALA, PRAGNYA CARGNELLI, RISHA KANAKAULU .

I LOVE YOUR LAST NAME. DHRUV CHELARU, ELLA LI, ARTEMIS LEI, SHRIYA MAKAM, ANTON OMAR, SAGAR PATEL, SANJANA CHINTAL, TEJAS CHINTAL, ANSHIKA SALETTI, ARJUN SURI, SARAYU VELOUR AND ALEXANDER ZAAL.

THOSE ARE YOUR 33 NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

[00:05:35]

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. PRETTY AMAZING. CONGRATULATIONS, STUDENTS.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT 33 MATCHES THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND OUT OF ISD. SO CARROLL ISD IS ALWAYS UP TOP NUMBER ONE IN ACADEMICS, AND WE APPRECIATE OUR STUDENTS VERY MUCH.

SO CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. NEXT UP IS ITEM 4.2 BOARD RECOGNITION.

OUR BASEBALL HEAD COACH, COACH VUKAN, COACH DODGE, ARE YOU COACH? COACH DODGE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. HE HAD A GAME. AND SO I AM I'M AT THE BAT FOR HIM.

I GUESS I'M THE SUB. AND SO, COACH VUKAN, DO YOU MIND COMING UP HERE? SO I'M EXCITED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE COACH VUKAN.

I HAVE NOT KNOWN HIM LONG, BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU, WE'RE ALL GOING TO JOIN YOU IN A SECOND.

SO YOU JUST STAY IN THERE BY YOURSELF. JUST KIND OF KIND OF ODD.

YOU STAND THERE IN THE MIDDLE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE 400 WINS, WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT BY JUST BY ANY MEASUREMENT.

BU I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, WHAT IMPRESSES ME MOST ABOUT COACH VUKAN IS WHAT HE DOES FOR OUR KIDS, FOR OUR COMMUNITY FOR OUR PROGRAM. AND I'LL JUST SHARE JUST A QUICK EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL HE IS.

WE HAD SENIOR. WAS IT SENIOR NIGHT, PARENT NIGHT? FRIDAY NIGHT ONE OF THE TWO. AND COACH VUKAN ACTUALLY TOOK THE DAY OFF BECAUSE OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE STRAPPED GOING AROUND MOWING EVERYWHERE, AND THEY DO AN INCREDIBLE JOB AS WELL.

NOTHING TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY. BUT HE WANTED THAT.

HE WANTED THAT ENTIRE FACILITY TO BE IMMACULATE.

AND HE TOOK THE DAY OFF AND WENT OUT AND MOLDED HIMSELF, CLEANED IT HIMSELF TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN OUR PARENTS SHOWED UP THAT THEY HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. AND WHAT'S PROBABLY EVEN MORE AMAZING IS LIKE THE GRASS IS ON THE VISITOR SIDE, SO OUR PARENTS PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT. HE JUST WANTED EVERYONE THAT WALKED INTO THAT PARK TO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.

WHEN WHENEVER I SEE HIM INTERACT WITH KIDS YOU SEE A COACH THAT IS A TOUGH DISCIPLINARIAN THAT DEMANDS THE MOST OUT OF HIS KIDS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU CAN TELL THAT HIS KIDS LOVE AND RESPECT HIM.

AND SO JUST SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE A MAN OF INTEGRITY LIKE THAT IN OUR PROGRAM.

WE'RE SO BLESSED. I'M BLESSED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW HIM, EVEN THOUGH OUR TIME HAS BEEN SHORT TOGETHER. BUT IT'S OBVIOUS THE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY HAS FOR YOU. THE LOVE THAT OUR COACHES, OUR ADMINISTRATORS HAVE FOR YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. AND I BELIEVE THAT OUR BOARD PRESIDENT HAS SOMETHING TONIGHT THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT YOU ON BEHALF OF OUR TRUSTEES.

AND WE'D LOVE TO GRAB A PICTURE WITH YOU, IF THAT'S OKAY. 400 WINS, COACH.

400 WINS, 400. CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATS, COACH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:10:41]

CONGRATS AGAIN. COACH. GREAT. WE EXPECT A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR, MY FRIEND.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS ANOTHER MILE MARKER FROM A WONDERFUL COACH.

OUR LADY DRAGONS HEAD SOCCER COACH MATT COLVIN.

DR. GLENN. COME ON UP. STAND BY YOURSELF IN THIS AWKWARD SPACE.

AGAIN, I TELL YOU, THE QUALITY OF COACHES WE HAVE IN CARROLL ISD IS NOTHING SHORT OF INCREDIBLE.

AND SO TONIGHT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE MATT COLVIN FOR 500 WINS, WHICH IS THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT AS WELL.

I MEAN, 100 MORE THAN YOU, COACH VUKAN. BUT WHAT IS WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING RARE IN TEXAS IS ALL 500 OF THOSE WINS CAME RIGHT HERE IN CARROLL ISD, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

SO YOU SEE YOU SEE A LOT OF COACHES THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO GET LARGE NUMBER OF WINS.

BUT RARELY DO YOU FIND AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS COMMITTED LONG TERM TO A DISTRICT THAT IS WILLING TO STAY THROUGH THE UPS, THROUGH THE DOWNS, THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD TO GET TO THAT NUMBER? AND SO AN INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT. AND I'LL TELL YOU; WE WERE AT A BASEBALL GAME THE OTHER NIGHT.

AND SO IT IS ALWAYS GREAT WHEN OUR HEAD COACHES SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND, AND THEY SHOW UP AND SEE KIDS IN DIFFERENT VENUES.

I WILL TELL YOU, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW THE GIRLS SOCCER TEAM THIS YEAR AND ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SEASON.

PROBABLY THE MOST HEARTBREAKING FINISH THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN TO A SEASON.

BUT TRULY ANOTHER COACH THAT THE KIDS LOVE YOU.

OUR THE COACHES YOU WORK WITH. I CARE ABOUT YOU.

OUR COMMUNITY EMBRACES EVERYTHING YOU DO AND THE WAY EVERYONE KIND OF RALLIED AROUND THAT TEAM, AND THAT HEARTBREAKING LOSS SPEAKS VOLUMES TO YOUR CHARACTER AND TO YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND WE ARE SO FORTUNATE AND BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS A PART OF THE CARROLL DRAGON NATION.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 500 WINS, COACH COLVIN. GOOD JOB.

APPLAUSE.

GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANY OTHER MATTERS ADDRESSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION]

TRUSTEE YEAGER, PRESIDENT BRYAN, I MOVE TO ACCEPT THE PERSONNEL REPORT AS PROPOSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. ITEM 6.2. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER MATTERS TO ADDRESS FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION, SO WE'LL MOVE RIGHT TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT.

[7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT]

I JUST WANT TO REALLY THANK THE COMMUNITY FOR THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT AND THEIR EMAILS.

DOCTOR GLENN, WE'RE OVER 9200 EMAILS SENT TO OUR LEGISLATIVE STAFF OPPOSING THIS HORRIBLE BILL.

SO WE APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY. AND WE ARE, YOU KNOW, ASKING YOU TO CONTINUE.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SENT THE EMAIL YET, WE CONTINUE TO DO SO.

AND THIS IS WHY. ON BEHALF OF YOUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS A BILL THAT, IF PASSED AND SIGNED INTO LAW, WILL NOT ONLY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR DISTRICT, BUT WILL ALSO IMPACT THE VERY CORE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS IS SENATE BILL 686, WHICH PASSED THE TEXAS SENATE LAST WEEK AND IS NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION IN THE TEXAS HOUSE.

SB 686 MANDATES OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ALL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE, REQUIRING DISTRICTS WITH AVAILABLE CAPACITY TO ACCEPT STUDENTS FROM OUTSIDE THEIR BOUNDARIES. WHILE THE BILL MAY AIM TO BROADEN EDUCATIONAL ACCESS AND INCREASE DISTRICT FUNDING, WE STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH ITS APPROACH AS IT ERODES THE CORE PRINCIPLE OF LOCAL CONTROL AND THREATENS THE UNIQUE IDENTITY OF CARROLL ISD AND OUR BELOVED CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS. OUR DISTRICT WAS FOUNDED AS AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SERVE THE SPECIFIC NEEDS AND REFLECT THE VALUES OF OUR SOUTHLAKE COMMUNITY. OUR BOARD, ELECTED BY DISTRICT RESIDENTS, IS ENTRUSTED WITH MAKING DECISIONS THAT ALIGN WITH THE PRIORITIES OF OUR FAMILIES.

THIS INCLUDES SETTING ENROLLMENT POLICIES THAT PRESERVE THE HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION, INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION, AND COMMUNITY DRIVEN CULTURE THAT DEFINE CARROLL ISD.

SB 686 UNDERMINES THIS AUTHORITY BY IMPOSING A BLANKET MANDATE THAT IGNORES THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE.

THIS BILL ALSO POSES AS A DIRECT THREAT TO OUR COMMUNITIES PROPERTY VALUES, WHICH ARE CLOSELY TIED TO THE REPUTATION AND INDIVIDUALITY OF OUR DISTRICT. FAMILIES MOVE TO SOUTHLAKE AND INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF THE EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION CARROLL ISD PROVIDES TO ITS RESIDENTS. MANDATING OPEN ENROLLMENT WOULD DILUTE THIS DISTINCT ADVANTAGE, ULTIMATELY DIMINISHING THE DESIRABILITY TO LIVE, WORK, AND CONDUCT BUSINESS IN SOUTHLAKE. ADDITIONALLY, OPEN ENROLLMENT RISKS STRAINING OUR DISTRICT'S RESOURCES, MAKING IT HARDER TO SERVE THE STUDENTS ALREADY WITHIN OUR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

WHILE WE TAKE PRIDE IN UPHOLDING CARROLL ISD'S TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE, OUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE HERE AND CONTRIBUTE

[00:30:03]

RESPONSIBILITY. WE WORK TIRELESSLY TO DELIVER.

WE URGE OUR COMMUNITY TO STAND WITH YOUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN OPPOSING SB 686 AS IT MOVES TO THE TEXAS HOUSE.

WE MUST CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR LOCAL CONTROL AND PROTECT THE INDEPENDENCE OF OUR SCHOOLS, ENSURING THAT DECISIONS REMAIN IN THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND OUR COMMUNITY BEST, WHICH ARE OUR LOCALLY ELECTED BOARD IN OUR ENGAGED FAMILIES. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY USE OUR TAKE ACTION DRAGONS PLATFORM TO CONTACT OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES IN AUSTIN TO VOICE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BILL AND ITS POTENTIAL HARM, ITS POTENTIAL TO HARM OUR DISTRICT, OUR COMMUNITY, AND OUR PROPERTY VALUES. AFTER ALL, THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN, OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR TAX DOLLARS, AND WE ARE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF MAKING DECISIONS THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENTS WHILE PROTECTING THE VALUES OF OUR COMMUNITY.

SAY NO TO SB 686. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND ENGAGEMENT AS WE WORK TO SAFEGUARD THE INTEGRITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF CARROLL ISD. AND NOW I'VE ASKED TRUSTEE BOTTOM TO GIVE US JUST A QUICK LEGISLATIVE UPDATE AND MAYBE SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TAKE ACTION DRAGONS.

TRUSTEE. SURE THING. WELL, WE ARE DEFINITELY FAR INTO THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AND THERE ARE THREE KEY BILLS THAT I DO WANT TO PUT ON EVERYONE'S RADAR.

I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING SB 686.

WELL SAID. IT ABSOLUTELY TAKES AWAY LOCAL CONTROL.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IN OUR DISTRICT WE HAVE OVER 70 EMPTY CLASSROOMS. I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE VERY DETRIMENTAL TO THE MAKEUP OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SO PROUD OF OUR COMMUNITY. KEEP IT COMING. WE WANT TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON THAT BILL. ANOTHER BILL THAT WE HAVE OUR EYE ON IS SB 568.

THIS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES HOW SPECIAL EDUCATION.

YOU KNOW, HOW WE GET PAID BACK FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION.

SO, IF YOU'LL RECALL, OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS ABOUT AN $8 MILLION DEFICIT.

SPECIAL EDUCATION IS UNDERFUNDED BY $4 MILLION.

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THIS BILL, AGAIN, THIS IS ONE THAT CARROLL ISD PARTICIPATED ON A PILOT PROGRAM WITH TI.

WE WERE ABLE TO HELP SHAPE AND CHANGE THE LANGUAGE OF THAT BILL.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT PIECE. WHAT IS A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING IS WE KNOW THAT SPED IS UNDERFUNDED BY $2 BILLION EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

WHEN THIS BILL WAS FIRST PROPOSED IT HAD ABOUT A $1.7 BILLION NOTE OVER THE BIENNIUM, WHICH GETS US ALMOST HALFWAY THERE.

SINCE IT'S GONE THROUGH THE VARIOUS ITERATIONS, IT'S DOWN TO ABOUT $400 MILLION.

SO IT'S PASSED THE SENATE. WE KNEW IT WOULD. IT HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE SENATE.

IT'S CURRENTLY BEEN REFERRED TO THE HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

WHAT WE WANT IS NOT ONLY DO WE WANT THIS BILL TO PASS, BUT WE WANT SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS REALLOCATED BACK TO IT.

SO WE'VE GOT TO TAKE ACTION DRAGON TO OPPOSE SB 686 NOW.

BUT STAY TUNED. WE NEED YOU TO STAY ENGAGED BECAUSE SOON WE'RE GOING TO PULL THAT LEVER FOR TO SUPPORT SB 568.

ONE OTHER BILL THAT I DO WANT TO SHARE IS AN UPDATE ON HOUSE BILL TWO.

THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL THE LARGEST BILL FOR FUNDING PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN THAT BILL THAT WE DO LIKE, BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT CAUTIOUS ABOUT.

SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE NOT THROWING THE WHOLE WEIGHT OF OUR COMMUNITY INTO IT.

THINGS THAT ARE GOOD WITHIN THIS BILL. SO THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE BASIC ALLOTMENT, THOUGH IT'S NOT THE $1,000 THAT WE NEED TO MAKE US WHOLE FROM 2019 LEVELS.

IT WOULD ADD ABOUT $220, WITH 40% OF THOSE BEING ALLOCATED TOWARDS A TEACHER PAY RAISES, STAFF PAY RAISES, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR DISTRICT COULD BENEFIT FROM. ANOTHER THING IS IT ACTUALLY HAS ADDITIONAL FUNDS CARVED OUT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, EVEN MORE THAN SB 568. SO I THINK THAT THERE MAY BE SOME APPETITE FOR THEM TO KIND OF MERGE THOSE TWO BILLS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A PAY FOR PERFORMANCE COMPONENT.

SO IT WOULD ALLOW US, AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REALLY REWARD TEACHERS FOR THEIR EXCELLENT EDUCATION IN THE CLASSROOM AND FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY DO.

WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE BIT HESITANT, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS BEING FUNNELED TOWARDS CHARTER SCHOOLS.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, AS A, AS A PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO JUMP BEHIND.

THERE'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL EXPANSION TO TIA. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MORE FOCUSED ON D AND F FAILING SCHOOLS.

BUT THERE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION TO TIA.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR STATE LEGISLATORS.

WHEN I SAY THIS BILL IS MASSIVE, IT'S ABOUT 300 PAGES.

AND EVERY DAY I LOOK THERE'S NEW RED OR GREEN, MEANING THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDED OR CROSSED OFF.

SO WE'RE WATCHING IT. WE'RE STAYING IN COMMUNICATION WITH OUR STATE LEGISLATORS, AND WE'RE JUST REALLY HELPING TO SHAPE THE LANGUAGE AND,

[00:35:04]

SO WHAT WE NEED FROM OUR COMMUNITY, WE NEED YOU TO STAY ENGAGED.

WE NEED YOU WHEN YOU GET THAT CALL TO ACTION TO TAKE ACTION, WE NEED YOU TO CLICK THAT LINK IN.

GOSH, YOU SURE DID. SO KEEP IT COMING. THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE. THANK YOU. EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD FOR THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AND THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN, FOR YOUR EMAILS THAT YOU SEND OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

KIND OF RECAPPING SOME OF THE BILLS, NEW BILLS THAT ARE COMING OUT. WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE IN THE AGENDA TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT,

[8. INFORMATION]

8.1 IS FACILITIES DEPARTMENT REPORT. MR. MOONEY.

THANK YOU, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DOCTOR GLENN. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK, QUICK SYNOPSIS OF THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT.

AS YOU CAN AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE HANDLE THE CUSTODIAL DEPARTMENT, MAINTENANCE GROUNDS, ENERGY MANAGEMENT, SHIPPING AND RECEIVING. AND [INAUDIBLE]. HOW'S THIS? IS IT GOING TO CHANGE? AND LARGE RENTALS. LARGE PROJECTS? AND THE MAINTENANCE SIDE, WE HAVE 404,084 WORK ORDERS TO DATE.

3098 HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THE HIGHLIGHTS $103,000 WAS SPENT ON ROOFS.

HVAC IS 316,000. AND THE FIRE ALARMS, 127,000.

I PUT THIS ONE OTHER LINE ITEM ON THERE. I'M EXPECTING ABOUT A THOUSAND COMPLIANCE ISSUES FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

AND MOST OF THOSE ARE WALL THINGS ON THE WALLS, LIGHTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THERE'S NOTHING REALLY MAJOR ON IT. IT'S JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, ONLY CUSTODIAL 77 HOUSEKEEPERS, DAY TO DAY CLEANING, PREVENTIVE SANITATION AFTER EVENTS SET UP AFTER EVENT CLEANING, WOOD FLOORS, DELIVERIES GROUNDS IS GROUND MAINTENANCE PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE, FENCE REPAIR, GAME DAY SETUP, PEST CONTROL, PARKING LOT REPAIR DELIVERIES.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT. YOU ALREADY HAD THIS PROPOSAL ENERGY SAVINGS, SCHEDULED EVENTS, LOW VOLTAGE MANAGEMENT, WELL MANAGEMENT, SOLAR MANAGEMENT. AND THEN WE ALSO DO THE RENTAL, THE OUTSIDE RENTALS.

AND TO DATE, WE'VE HAD 998 EVENTS 998 EVENTS YEAR TO DATE.

THINGS LIKE THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE DRAGON YOUTH FOOTBALL, UFL CAMPS, SOUTHLAKE CROSS CAMPUS EVENTS, AND ONE THING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS THE JOINT UTILIZATION AGREEMENT.

WE GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE, PLEASE. WHICH ONE, SIR.

THEY ONLY GOT TO SEE ONE. I THINK WE'RE IN TROUBLE IN THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THEM.

SO, ONE BACK, ONE BACK. THERE WE GO. SO 127,000 FOR FIRE ALARM PANELS.

YEAH. A LOT OF THAT WAS FROM FAILS, FROM THE INSPECTIONS.

BUT WHAT THE MOST RECENT THING THAT WE DID WAS WE LOST THREE FIRE ALARM PANELS WITHIN A THREE WEEK PERIOD.

NOW, THAT'S NOT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT IT WAS, I'VE SINCE PUT SURGE PROTECTORS ON ALL THESE, AND I THINK IT'S A DIRECT RESULT FROM DIRTY POWER.

I KNOW THAT ONE OF THEM WAS JUST RAW POWER COMING TO US, AND WE BLEW UP A PANEL, AND TRI-COUNTY IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.

BUT THAT'S THE THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF IT. SO WE FOUGHT WE FILED THREE CLAIMS WITH TRI COUNTY TO REPLACE THREE FIRE ALARMS, IS THAT CORRECT? I REPLIED, I HAVE A CLAIM GOING TO THEM THAT THEY'VE AGREED TO PAY WHEN I GET THEM TO TOTAL, BUT I HAVE NOT. I'VE NOT GIVEN THEM ALL THE COSTS YET, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE SEE HOW MUCH DAMAGE IS ON THAT EMERGENCY GENERATOR. AND I KNOW YOU AND I HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME OF THE, THE, THE ROOFS THAT WE'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH.

WHAT? GIVE ME GIVE US THE, THE BOARD THE KIND OF THE TOP THREE CAMPUSES OLD UNIONS, OLD UNIONS.

THE WORST IS THE THREE OVER THERE ON THAT SIDE.

AND THEY'RE THE, SOME OF THE NEWER BUILDINGS.

BUT YOU HAVE DAWSON EUBANKS AND OLD UNION. ALL IN THE TIF ZONE, ALL IN THE TIF ZONE.

YES, SIR. THEY SO WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THAT DOCTOR GLENN? I MEAN, I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TIF IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR OUR BUILDINGS THAT ARE WITHIN THE TIF AND OF COURSE, OLD UNION AND EUBANKS AND DAWSON ARE WITHIN THAT, SO.

YES, SIR. AS FAR AS I KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN COLLECTING TIF AND NOT DISPERSING IT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T ASKED FOR IT.

AND SO, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE RECENTLY ASKED FOR SOME OF IT TO PAY FOR SOME OF THESE ROOF REPLACEMENTS OR, OR FIXES. SO, I HAD CONTACT WITH THE CITY MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THEIR BUDGETS.

[00:40:04]

BY APRIL 1ST WE DID IT ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THAT DATE.

I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK TO DATE. OKAY. THANK YOU, DR.

GLENN. AND THEY'RE HOLDING ON TO ABOUT $11 MILLION OF DISTRICT MONEY.

IS THAT SO? I WOULD SAY RIGHT NOW, THERE'S MY, THE LAST TIME WE MET WITH THEM WAS WHEN MR. JORDAN WAS ON THE BOARD, AND ALSO DAVID JOHNSON WAS HERE AND IN THE TIF FUND BALANCE, I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST OVER $11 MILLION.

OKAY. WELL, THAT'S GREAT. WELL, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE 4.8 THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR. GLENN, FOR ASKING THE CITY FOR THAT.

THANK YOU, MR. MOONEY. SO EXPLAIN THE 97,000 FOR KEYS.

IT'S A LOT OF THAT IS THE AUDITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S NOT JUST KEYS, IT'S THE DOORS. IT'S THE DOOR HARDWARE.

EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH, YOU KNOW, HARDWARE WEARS OUT, SO IT SEEMS LIKE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.

BUT IF WE START CHANGING OUT THE WHOLE DOORS AND DOOR FRAMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHERE THAT COMES INTO.

SO, YOU START EATING UP FIVE, SIX, $7,000, CHANGING OUT WHOLE FRAMES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S IT'LL EAT IT UP PRETTY FAST. BUT THAT ALSO KEYLESS ENTRY TO THAT, THAT'S TECHNOLOGY I DON'T WE DON'T DO TECHNOLOGY BUT THE BUT THE JUST THE JUST ALL THE HARDWARE, ALL THE INCLUDING DOORS, ALL THAT, EVERYTHING THAT'S INVOLVED.

AND THAT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY BIG NUMBER. AND THEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS HUGE NUMBER, LANDSCAPING GROUNDS OF $200,000.

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THE GRASS CUT IN AND PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS AT MOST OF OUR CAMPUSES.

OR SHRUBS TRIM. SO, WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT GO FOR? IS THAT, I MEAN, DO WE HAVE IRRIGATION THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR? THERE'S IRRIGATION INVOLVED. IT'S TREES. IT'S.

AND UNDERSTAND WHEN EVERYTHING'S GETS SENT INTO THAT, IT'S PLAYGROUNDS.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S INSECTS. IT'S THERE'S A THERE'S A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT GO INTO TO WHAT THEY, WHAT THEY DO. YOU KNOW, THE ONE OF THE DURING FOOTBALL SEASON, WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT CREWS IS THE GAME DAY SETUP.

IT TAKES ALMOST HALF THEIR TIME PER WEEK. SO YES, WHEN THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMES THAT THEY GET BEHIND.

BUT IF IT'S IF IT'S WORKING ON BASEBALL SOFTBALL COMPLEX, IF IT'S WORKING ON WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT'S OUTSIDE THE BUILDINGS ITSELF.

AND THAT'S WHEN IT SAYS WHEN IT GETS, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS SENT TO THE GROUND.

SO WE HAVE A VERY SMALL CREW OF SIX PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, NOT COUNTING THE LEADERSHIP, BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY GET AROUND ABOUT AA8 TO NINE DAY ROTATION ON THE CAMPUSES OF MOWING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO LESS THAN HALF, 50% OF THEIR WORK IS ACTUALLY MOWING.

AND WHAT YOU SEE FROM THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. MOONEY, WHAT IS THE PRINTING PAPER REQUESTS? SHIPPING AND RECEIVING.

WE GET ALL THE PAPER DELIVERED HERE AT OUR WAREHOUSE, AND WE DELIVER IT OUT THROUGH THE THROUGH THE SCHOOLS WHEN THEY SEND US A REQUEST WITH IT.

ALMOST EVERYTHING IS ALMOST EVERYTHING WITHIN THE DISTRICT IS DELIVERED TO THE WAREHOUSE HERE.

AND THEN WE SHIP IT OUT. WOULD YOU. DO YOU HAVE CONTROL OF THE SLIDES? I DO NOT. YOU JUST MOVE. MOVE THROUGH THEM REAL SLOW.

THERE YOU GO. SO, I GO BACK TO CUSTODIAL. THAT 100 JUST WANT TO DRAW TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION.

$160,000 IN OVERTIME. FOR OUR CUSTODIANS, A LOT OF THAT RELATED TO RENTALS.

YEAH. ABOUT 80% OF IT IS TO RENTALS. SO, IT'S NOT JUST YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT CLEANING UP OF WHAT THEY DO.

THEY DO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SETUP, ALL THE BREAKDOWN, ALL THE CLEANUP.

SO WHEN THE STUDENTS COME BACK TO SCHOOL, LET'S JUST.

AND I'M NOT PICKING ON ANYBODY, LET'S JUST SAY THE CRAFT FAIR. AND IT STARTS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND IT ENDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

THEY'RE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. BUT THEY DO ALL THE ALMOST ALL THE SETUP FOR IT.

THEN THEY BREAK IT DOWN AFTER IT'S OVER. WHAT IS IT, 06:00 IN THE AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY.

THEY SPEND ALL NIGHT LONG BREAKING IT BACK DOWN.

SO IT'S READY FOR SCHOOL TO START ON MONDAY. WHAT, 12 HOURS LATER.

SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST ONE OF ONE OF THE OCCASIONS.

BUT IT'S THERE'S A, THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK THAN WHAT YOU THINK THAT JUST HAPPENS WITH CUSTODIAL, YOU KNOW, CLEANING A RESTROOM OR CLEANING UP A LITTLE BIT.

THEY DO ALL THE SETUP AND BREAKDOWN OF ALMOST ALL THESE EVENTS.

AND THIS IS IN HOUSE EVENTS. ARE THESE ALL EVENTS? ALL EVENTS. SO ALL EVENTS. AND SO DO WE RECOUP ANY CUSTODIAL FROM FEES THAT WE CHARGE.

WE ARE STARTING WE ARE STARTING TO PER THE BOARD DIRECTIVE ON WE ARE STARTING TO ENFORCE THE CUSTODIAL FEES, AND WE HAVE ENFORCED ALL RENTALS, SIR. I'M SORRY.

OKAY. AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY ENFORCED THOSE IN THE PAST.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING $160,000 FIGURE. NOT SO MUCH.

SO BUT IT'S BEEN WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF SINCE WE'VE TAKEN IT OVER OF ENFORCING THIS.

[00:45:01]

WHAT WAS THE NEXT SLIDE? YOU SEE THE GROUNDS.

YOU SEE THAT. THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT A PICTURE TAKEN FROM ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES.

YOU SEE THE SOME OF THE THINGS THEY DO, THE PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE, THE FENCE REPLACEMENT, THE GAME DAY SETUPS, THE PEST CONTROL, ASBESTOS AND EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS LIKE AUGUSTA.

AND THE NEXT ONE ENERGY MANAGEMENT WE HAD. GO AHEAD.

NEXT ONE. I JUST WANTED TO MOVE THROUGH THESE THE RENTALS.

THIS IS WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THE 998 EVENTS.

CITY OF SOUTHLAKE THE JOINT UTILIZATION AGREEMENT.

I DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM TODAY ABOUT THAT.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED.

THE LAST SIGNED AGREEMENT WE HAVE IS, I THINK, FROM 2011 AND WITH THE CITY.

YES, SIR. AND DOES THE CITY PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY USE? DOES THE CITY PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY USE? ON OUR CAMPUSES? SO, NO, I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER.

THE ANSWER IS NO. THEY DO NOT PAY. THEY DON'T PAY.

SO WE'VE GIVEN THEM ALL ACCESS TO OUR FACILITIES FOR FREE.

AND WE'VE BEEN PAYING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THAT TO, TO HAPPEN.

AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT. YES, SIR.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THERE THE CITY IN YOUR CONVERSATION TODAY, THEY HAVE FUNDS ALLOCATED THAT'S SUPPOSED TO COVER, LIKE THE UTILITY COSTS AT LEAST. WELL, THE UTILITY, YOUR JOINT UTILIZATION AGREEMENT.

WHAT WE HAVE AGREED TO PAY FOR OR WHAT THEY'VE AGREED TO PAY FOR IN THIS JOINT UTILIZATION IS ACTUALLY THE UTILITIES, NOT THE NOT THE BUILDING ITSELF, BUT THE UTILITIES.

AND SO THEN WE GO TO A CALCULATION. AND LAST YEAR IT WAS, IT WAS RIGHT AROUND $25,000 IS WHAT THEY PAID US.

THAT WAS FROM 20 2223. THEY PAID US IN 24. SO, IT WAS ABOUT $25,000 OUT OF 33 OVER 3500 HOURS.

WHY DID THEY WHY WERE THEY PAYING TWO YEARS BEHIND? ONCE THE ONCE THEIR CALENDAR YEAR IS COMPLETED, THEN THEY HAVE TO DO IT BEFORE THEIR NEXT YEAR.

SO IT TAKES ABOUT SIX EIGHT MONTHS FOR THEM TO, TO PAY.

SO WHEN IT WAS 22-23. THEY PAID IT IN 24. THEY'VE NOT PAID 2023-24 YET BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THIS YEAR.

THAT'LL BE IN THE NEXT. IT'LL BE IN THE COMING MONTHS.

AND SO JUST TO CLARIFY THERE, IT'S UTILITIES THAT'S IN THE CONTRACT BUT NOT LIKE THE CUSTODIAL.

THAT'S THE SETUP, THE TAKEDOWN, THE CLEANING.

NONE OF THAT. YES MA'AM. THE ONLY THING THAT'S IN THE AGREEMENT, THE JOINT UTILIZATION AGREEMENT IS THE UTILITIES OF THE SAY THEY USE DURHAM CAFETERIA. THEY'RE ONLY PAYING FOR THE UTILITIES IN THAT CAFETERIA.

SO WE HAVE TO DO A CALCULATION OF EVERYTHING THROUGH IT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY IF SOMETHING GETS TORE UP OR AND THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US WITH THE SOME OF THE REFINISHING OF THE WOOD FLOORS THAT THEY USE. BUT THE MAJORITY OF IT IS WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER A RENTAL PIECE, THAT 3500 HOURS, THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT INCLUDED. AND IT HAS TO DO BACK 1993 AGREEMENT THAT WAS GOING BACK.

WE'RE STILL ABIDING BY A 1993. WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN AGREED ON A LITTLE BIT MORE SINCE THEN, BUT THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL 2011, I'M SORRY, 2011.

SO IT'S OVER A DECADE, 14 YEARS. WHAT'S BASICALLY RENEWING IT.

NEXT SLIDE. PERFECT. I THINK WE COVERED THAT.

THANK YOU, DR. GLENN. THANK YOU, MR. MOONEY. YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS 8.2 POLICY AUDIT.

MR. NICOLE. PRESIDENT BRYAN. DR. GLENN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I HAVE A GROUP OF POLICIES TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT, JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES.

THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED FOR YOU IN THE BOARD BOOK FOR YOU TO REVIEW.

THERE'S ALSO SUMMARIES THERE. WE REALLY HAVE THREE GROUPS THAT ARE INCLUDED.

THE BEGINNING IS T DID AN AUDIT OF OUR CURRENT POLICY AT CISD, AND THEY HAVE THE POLICIES LISTED THERE THAT THEY FOUND GAPS IN THINGS THAT THEY FELT LIKE NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. AND SO THAT IS INCLUDED.

THE SECOND GROUP OF POLICIES COMES DOWN TO RECOMMENDATIONS MADE AROUND RECENT ADMINISTRATIVE RULE CHANGES OR COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION DECISIONS.

AND SO THEY PUT OUT A GROUP OF ABOUT 6 OR 7 POLICIES THERE THAT THEY FELT LIKE WOULD HELP US TO ADAPT TO THOSE ADMINISTRATIVE RULE CHANGES OR COMMISSIONER DECISIONS.

AND THEN THERE IS A THIRD GROUP OF POLICIES THAT WE HAVE ASKED THEM TO CREATE FOR US SINCE THEY HAVE DEVELOPED THAT FOR US.

AND SO THOSE ARE ALL THERE FOR YOU TO REVIEW.

ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES? NO. ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS QUICK.

[00:50:05]

[9. DISCUSSION/ACTION]

TRUSTEE YEAGER, YOU WANT TO READ US THE RESOLUTION? MY PLEASURE. PRESIDENT BRYAN. SUPPORTING HOUSE BILL 2764 AND REQUESTING A PUBLIC HEARING.

WHEREAS HOUSE BILL 2764, INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE GILLEN, SEEKS TO ENHANCE TRANSPARENCY IN SCHOOL FINANCE BY REQUIRING A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT ON SCHOOL FUNDING FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AND THE COMPTROLLER COVERING FISCAL YEARS FROM 1994 ONWARD.

AND WHEREAS THIS REPORT WOULD PROVIDE CRITICAL INSIGHT INTO THE SOURCES, DISTRIBUTION AND UTILIZATION OF SCHOOL FINANCE FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS COLLECTED UNDER CHAPTER 49 RECAPTURE AND THOSE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE SPECIAL THE EXCUSE ME, THE FOUNDATION SCHOOL PROGRAM. AND WHEREAS THE BILL MANDATES THAT ALL EDUCATION FINANCE REPORTS CLEARLY DIFFERENTIATE LOCAL RECAPTURE FUNDING FROM STATE FUNDING, ENSURING GREATER CLARITY FOR POLICYMAKERS, EDUCATORS AND THE PUBLIC.

AND WHEREAS ACCURATE AND TRANSPARENT REPORTING OF EDUCATION FINANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE EFFECTIVE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICTS, INCLUDING CARROLL ISD. AND WHEREAS, THE CARROLL ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF HB 2764 IN FOSTERING INFORMED DECISION MAKING REGARDING SCHOOL FINANCE POLICY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

NOW, LET IT BE HEREBY RESOLVED THAT THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES EXPRESSES STRONG SUPPORT FOR HB 2764 AND URGES THE TEXAS HOUSE PUBLIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO SCHEDULE A HEARING ON THIS BILL AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY.

AND THAT THE BOARD ENCOURAGES ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SUPPORT THIS BILL BY EMAILING THEIR LEGISLATORS THROUGH THE DISTRICT'S TAKE ACTION DRAGON PORTAL, AND THAT COPIES OF THIS RESOLUTION ARE FORWARDED TO THE CHAIR OF THE HOUSE.

PUBLIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE, REPRESENTATIVE GILLEN.

AND THE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVES OF CARROLL ISD.

TO ADVOCATE FOR THE BILL'S ADVANCEMENT. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER.

YOU KNOW, HATS OFF TO REPRESENTATIVE GILLEN FOR INTRODUCING THIS BILL.

THIS BOARD, AS YOU ALL MOST LIKELY KNOW, HAVE BEEN ASKING THE COMPTROLLER AND THE COMMISSIONER OF THE TEA AND OUR GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES TO GIVE US EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL IS ASKING FOR.

AND IT ALSO CALLS FOR AN AUDIT. ON THE SCHOOL FOUNDATION PROGRAM, WHICH IS WAY PAST DUE.

AND WE ARE WE ARE SO HOPING THAT THE PUBLIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE PASSES IT OUT OF COMMITTEE INTO THE HOUSE FLOOR SO IT CAN BE VOTED UPON. AND SO WE JUST REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU, AS THE RESOLUTION STATES, TO GO AND TAKE ACTION, DRAGONS. AND WE'LL SET THAT UP AND SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO THE COMMUNITY LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST TO GET YOUR EMAILS TO SUPPORT THIS.

TEXAS HOUSE BILL 2764. AND AS YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT WE'RE PROJECTED TO SEND BACK $25 MILLION OF YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY THIS YEAR TO THE STATE OF TEXAS. THAT WON'T TELL US WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING, IF ANYWHERE.

CERTAINLY. PROBABLY NOT GOING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION.

SO WE NEED TO GET BEHIND THIS BILL AND GET IT APPROVED.

SO ONCE AND FOR ALL, WE CAN SEE WHERE YOUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING.

SO WITH THAT I'LL OPEN IT UP TO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

TRUSTEES. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION SUPPORTING TEXAS HOUSE BILL 2764 AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0.

OKAY. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER. NEXT ITEM. LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 9.2.

CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL THE 2025 2026 STAFFING PLAN.

OH, THERE YOU ARE. GOOD EVENING. LAST MONTH, I PRESENTED THE STAFFING PLAN FOR 2526 SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR CAMPUSES.

THE STAFFING PLAN WAS BASED ON TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIOS.

THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REDUCE STAFF BY TEN POSITIONS.

THESE REDUCTIONS WOULD BE THROUGH ATTRITION, AS RECOMMENDED BY BRAC.

WHICH WOULD BE A COST SAVINGS OF 700,000 TO THE DISTRICT.

AND SO, I'M HERE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION.

THANK YOU, MISS. AND DR. GLENN, MAYBE YOU CAN EXPOUND ON THAT.

WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO IN TERMS OF BRAC, WE ARE TRYING TO RIGHTSIZE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND I KNOW YOU PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THINKING YOUR STAFF INTO THINKING ABOUT THAT.

AND THIS IS JUST ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

[00:55:01]

AGAIN, IT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BRAC COMMITTEE TO BEGIN RIGHTSIZING IMMEDIATELY AND ACTUALLY FRONT LOAD RIGHT SIZING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE KIND OF CATCHING UP TO ENROLLMENT LOSSES IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS.

AND SO PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT FROM MISS THIBODEAU IS ACTUALLY BASED IN THE FACT THAT WE DO ANTICIPATE ANOTHER ENROLLMENT DECLINE NEXT YEAR.

CURRENTLY, MR. PARK IS PROJECTING ABOUT 131 KIDS.

WE KNOW THAT THAT RANGE CAN VARY ANYWHERE FROM 100 TO POSSIBLY AS MANY AS 200, WHICH IS CLOSE TO WHAT WE SAW AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.

SO ANTICIPATING THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE, WE ARE LOOKING TO THROUGH ATTRITION REDUCE SOME OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS SO THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO RIGHTSIZE OUR BUDGET AND GIVE YOU A BALANCED BUDGET TO ADOPT IN THE COMING MONTHS.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THOSE REDUCTIONS, WE ARE LOOKING OVERALL AT TO REDUCING STAFF BY $1.5 MILLION.

SO MANY OF THOSE REDUCTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CENTRAL OFFICE LEVEL.

AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL AND IN SOME OF OUR SUPPORT STAFF.

AS IT RELATES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SO WHERE WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN IMPACT IS ON THE CLASSROOM WITH OUR KIDS.

AND SO THE MORE OF THOSE REDUCTIONS THAT CAN TAKE PLACE AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE OR CENTRAL OFFICE LEVEL, THAT'S WHERE WE WANT THEM TO TAKE PLACE. SO WE KNOW, I THINK, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL ADMINISTRATORS, THE ONES IN THIS ROOM, THE ONES IN THIS BUILDING, UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO RUN THIN WE'RE GOING TO BE A STREAMLINED STAFF AND WE'RE GOING TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE WITH TAXPAYER MONEY. THANK YOU, DR.

GLENN. THANK YOU, MISS THIBODEAU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? TRUSTEE. YEAH, I'VE GOT JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

THESE TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIOS. HAVING BEEN ON THE BOARD NOW, I GUESS COMING UP CLOSE TO MY FOURTH YEAR, THESE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

BUT CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT? YES, THEY ARE. OKAY.

GREAT. AND THEN HOW DO THEY LOOK VERSUS OTHER DISTRICTS? I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT OTHER DISTRICTS SPECIFIC TO THAT, BUT I CAN LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE.

I KNOW ELEMENTARY, YOU KNOW, IS 22 TO 1 FOR SURE, JUST BASED.

YEAH. AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT I'VE STUDIED WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING IN DETAIL, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT EVERY YEAR WHEN WE ADOPT OUR WAIVERS FOR CLASS SIZES, YOU'RE SEEING OTHER DISTRICTS ADOPT CLASS SIZE WAIVER.

ONE THING THAT MISS THIBODEAU DIDN'T MENTION THAT THAT OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO NOT ADOPT ANY CLASS SIZE WAIVERS THIS YEAR.

SO EVEN AT WALNUT GROVE, I KNOW THAT WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF A THIRD GRADE.

THE THIRD GRADE LEVEL NEEDING A WAIVER, WHICH MEANS WE WOULD GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT STAFF OUT NOW BECAUSE WE COULD GET A HIGHER QUALITY STAFF MEMBER IF WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT HIRE NOW. AND IN ANTICIPATION OF THAT GRADE LEVEL BEING NEEDING ANOTHER TEACHER SO THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER.

SO, SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, I THINK MOST DISTRICTS ARE HAVING TO LEAN OUT AND HAVE LARGER CLASS SIZES, WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE RESEARCH TELLS US THAT THE LOWER THE STUDENT TEACHER RATIO, THE BETTER QUALITY INSTRUCTION IN A CLASSROOM.

I THINK WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT OUR STUDENT TEACHER RATIO IS LOWER THAN MOST.

OKAY. AND I KNOW HAVING DONE OUR LUNCH AND LEARNS ON CAMPUSES, ONE OF THE THINGS ESPECIALLY TRUSTEE STACY AND I HAVE HEARD IS THE TEACHERS ARE LIKE, PLEASE, YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 STUDENTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

ABSOLUTELY. SO I LIKE WHAT WE HEARD HERE, AND THAT IS THAT YOU KNOW, DR.

GLENN IS SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE WAIVERS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HEAR THAT WORD THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT'S ACTUALLY GETTING A WAIVER APPROVED TO TAKE THE CLASS SIZE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN ELEMENTARY FROM 22 TO 1, SAY, TO 22 OR TO 24, WHICH CAN ADD STRESS, RIGHT, TO OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF. AND SO OUR GOAL IS NOT TO HAVE THOSE WAIVERS.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW, IN CLASS SIZES, I MEAN, CLASSROOMS ARE DESIGNED FOR 22 OR LESS KIDS.

AND WHEN YOU START PUTTING 23-24 KIDS IN A CLASSROOM, NOT ONLY DOES THAT CROWD THE CLASSROOM, BUT IT'S ALSO MORE WORK THAT THE TEACHER HAS TO TAKE HOME BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE PAPERS STILL HAVE TO GET GRADED. YOU KNOW, JUST IN IN VISITING WITH MISS THIBODEAUX, WHO HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN OUR HR DEPARTMENT.

BUT ALSO, I'LL CREDIT MR. NICHOL AND MR. PARK, WHO IS NEW TO THE DISTRICT.

WE REALLY ARE TAKING THE BRACKS RECOMMENDATIONS TO HEART.

AND THE BELIEF AMONGST ALL THE SENIOR LEVEL ADMINISTRATION IS THAT IF WE REALLY IMPLEMENT THE BRACKS PLAN AND, AND WE'VE KIND OF BROKEN IT DOWN INTO FIVE STRATEGIC AREAS, THAT NOT ONLY CAN WE CONTINUE TO REDUCE STUDENT TEACHER RATIOS IN THE CLASSROOM, WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT DOING SOME OF THE FUN THINGS THAT MAYBE WE'VE MISSED OUT ON THE LAST 5 OR 6 YEARS, AS WE'VE HAD TO LEAN OUT, AND THAT'S GOING BACK AND GIVING OUR TEACHERS A RAISE, LOOKING AT TEACHING PERIODS LOOKING AT AGAIN, SMALLER CLASS SIZES AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, THAT'S INHERENTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

BUT AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE STEADFAST IN OUR APPROACH TO BE AS LEAN AS POSSIBLE AND MANAGE OUR MONEY BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST.

[01:00:04]

AND THAT IS AT 92%. AND OF COURSE, 100 OUR GOAL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE READING AT GRADE LEVEL.

AND YOU KNOW, DR. GLENN, WHAT PERCENTAGE WAS THAT? 92%. THE NEXT CLOSEST WAS 77%. I THINK THAT WAS ALITO, I THINK, OR.

YEAH. AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU TOLD US ABOUT THAT SORT OF RECIPE FOR SUCCESS ARE THINGS LIKE THE PULLOUTS THAT WE CAN DO FOR THE YOUNGEST STUDENTS WHO ARE LEARNING TO READ AND HAVE ISSUES WITH MATH AND ARE ACE, THIS DOESN'T TOUCH ANY OF THOSE PROGRAMS. AGAIN, BACK TO WHAT THE BRAC. WE DON'T WANT TO TOUCH TEACHERS IN TERMS OF THEIR CLASSROOM, WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT ALSO THE PROGRAMS THAT MAKE THAT SUCCESSFUL.

THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT THE BRAC CAME UP WITH WAS WHEN YOU MAKE CUTS, DO NOT CUT PROGRAMS. AND TO YOUR POINT, WE ARE THE TOP ACADEMIC SCHOOL IN TARRANT COUNTY, ONE OF THE TOPS IN THE STATE, IF NOT NUMBER ONE. AND SO WE NEED TO BE MANAGING OUR MONEY AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE, KNOWING THAT FUNDS ARE LIMITED FOR ALL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE ACADEMICALLY, WE SHOULD PAY OUR TEACHERS LIKE THEY'RE NUMBER ONE AS WELL. AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY ON THIS BOARD BECAUSE I'VE HEARD EVERY ONE OF YOU SAY THAT.

YEAH. OKAY. I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS, DR. GLENN.

I REALLY DO. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? OKAY.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. YEAH. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVES THE STAFFING RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MISS THIBODEAU, IF NO OBJECTION, WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 7:01 P.M.

THANK YOU. BOARD.
