[4. RECOGNITIONS]

GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN, PRESIDENT BRYANT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

TODAY MARKS DAY 57 OF THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

AND ALREADY CARROLL SENIOR HIGH HAS SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE.

IN CARROLL ISD EXCELLENCE ISN'T JUST SOMETHING WE STRIVE FOR, IT'S WHO WE ARE.

IT'S A TRADITION BUILT OVER TIME BY OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, COACHES, FINE ARTS DIRECTORS, AND OUR COMMUNITY. AND THIS FALL, THAT TRADITION HAS BEEN ON FULL DISPLAY.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 71 COMMENDED SCHOLARS, 32 NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS, EACH ONE A REFLECTION OF HARD WORK, DETERMINATION AND THE SUPPORT OF OUTSTANDING TEACHERS.

OUR TENNIS TEAMS, COACHED BY CORY ALDRIDGE AND ABIGAIL MAHLMANN, ADVANCED TO REGIONALS AND REPRESENTED THE DRAGONS WITH INCREDIBLE GRIT AND SPORTSMANSHIP.

[00:05:07]

CONGRATULATIONS TO CADEN LEONARD, WHO FINISHED FIRST WITH A TIME OF 1442, SECURING HIS SPOT AS ONE OF THE GREATEST RUNNERS IN TEXAS HISTORY.

AND OUR GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FINISHED FIFTH IN THE STATE, AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THEM ALL.

OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAM, COACHED BY LESLIE JACKSON, ADVANCES TO ROUND TWO OF PLAYOFFS TOMORROW.

COACH RILEY DODGE EARNED HIS 100TH WIN, AND OUR FOOTBALL TEAM STANDS PROUD AS DISTRICT 4 6A CHAMPIONS PREPARING FOR THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME NEXT WEEK.

UNDER THE DIRECTION OF KEN JOHNSON, OUR AWARD WINNING BAND CONTINUES TO SET THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE ON AND OFF THE FIELD.

OUR THEATER DEPARTMENT, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF RYAN BARBE, WRAPPED UP A SUCCESSFUL FIRST SHOW OF THREE CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS OF A SOLD-OUT CROWD AND IS ALREADY PREPARING THEIR NEXT PRODUCTION, A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

DIRECTOR CAISSIE LEVY CONTINUES TO LEAD OUR CHOIR AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR WINTER CONCERT, AND OUR DEBATE TEAM, LED BY OUR RENOWNED COACH ANTHONY BROWN, HAS COMPETED IN FIVE TOURNAMENTS THIS SEMESTER, WINNING FOUR OF THE FIVE. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE MORE THAN TROPHIES OR TITLES.

THEY'RE REMINDERS THAT IN CARROLL ISD, EXCELLENCE IS NOT AN EVENT.

IT'S A CULTURE, A LEGACY, AND IT'S A DRAGON TRADITION THAT CONTINUES TO IGNITE THE FIRE WITHIN EVERY STUDENT WHO WALKS THROUGH THE DOORS.

AND THIS EVENING, WE'RE EXCITED TO HIGHLIGHT FOUR GROUPS WHO EMBODY THAT SAME SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE.

ONE GROUP YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT BEFORE, OUR INCREDIBLE CMA STUDENTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ABOUT THEIR TIME AT THE HOSPITAL.

WE ALSO HAVE MISS BURKAMP, ONE OF OUR AP ENGLISH TEACHERS HERE WITH A COUPLE OF STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT AP CAPSTONE.

MISS FLORES AND MISS CASTILLO WILL SHARE SOME GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR 200 HALLWAY WITH THEIR STUDENTS, AND FOLLOWING THEIR PRESENTATION, WE'LL HEAR FROM A COUPLE OF STUDENTS WHO COMPETE IN RODEO, INCLUDING OUR VERY OWN RODEO QUEEN, WHO WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HER UNIQUE AND INSPIRING HOBBY.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS NEHA ARJUN.

I AM A SENIOR AND THE WEBMASTER AND EXECUTIVE STUDENT, EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER FOR CMA.

THANKS TO THE UNWAVERING EFFORTS OF MISS METCALF, MISS HENNIG, THE CISD SCHOOL BOARD, AND THE CMA PARENT BOOSTER BOARD, CMA STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHADOW HEALTH CARE WORKERS AT METHODIST SOUTHLAKE THIS YEAR.

THE PAST WEEK, I GOT TO SHADOW A HEALTH CARE WORKER IN THE CATH LAB.

IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE THE INFORMATION WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING IN CLASS ABOUT CARDIAC MEDICATIONS, PROCEDURES, AND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PATIENT CARE BEING PRACTICED IN REAL TIME.

ALTHOUGH MANY CMA SENIORS HAVE INTERNSHIPS AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE, THIS INTERNSHIP STANDS OUT AS THE HOSPITAL PROVIDERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH US AND OUR PROGRAM.

THE PROVIDERS OFTEN ASK US QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE LEARNING IN BIOTECH, AND TAKE THE TIME TO TEACH US AND OFFER VISUAL AIDS FOR OUR CLASS.

TOPICS IN A HOSPITAL SETTING THAT CAN'T BE OFFERED IN CLASS WITH TEXTBOOKS AND NOTES.

I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE STORIES FROM MY CLASSMATES, WHO SHADOWED IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL AND ASKING MISS METCALF ANY QUESTIONS I HAD FROM MY HOSPITAL LEARNING TO CLARIFY ANY DOUBTS I MAY HAVE FOR THE FUTURE.

ONCE AGAIN, I AM SO GRATEFUL TO MISS METCALF, MISS HENNING, THE CISD SCHOOL BOARD, AND THE TEAM AT METHODIST SOUTHLAKE FOR HELPING MY CLASSMATES AND I GAIN THIS EXPERIENCE, CONNECT OUR HANDS TO CONNECT OUR IN-CLASS LEARNING TO HANDS ON EXPERIENCES, SETTING THE PATH FOR OUR FUTURE CAREERS IN MEDICINE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT WE'RE SO EXCITED THAT THIS NEW IN-KIND SERVICE BY METHODIST HOSPITAL IS A POSITIVE ATTRIBUTE FOR YOU GUYS. AND TRUSTEE YEAGER IS THE ONE THAT REALLY SPEARHEADED THIS, THIS EFFORT.

AND THERE'S SO MANY IN-KIND SERVICES AND WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR CEO BENSON CHACKO FOR COMING UP WITH THESE IDEAS.

AND WE THANK YOU GUYS. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN, AND MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MY NAME IS ERIN BURKAMP, AND I AM THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR AND THE TEACHER OF THE AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM AT CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

IT IS MY HONOR TODAY, ALONG WITH FOUR OF MY WONDERFUL STUDENTS, TO SHOWCASE OUR VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

WE BEGAN OFFERING AP CAPSTONE IN 2021, AND THE PROGRAM HAS GROWN FROM ITS ORIGINAL 12 STUDENTS TO NOW 134 STUDENTS FOR THE 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR, HERE. AS PER THE COLLEGE BOARD WEBSITE, AP CAPSTONE IS A DIPLOMA PROGRAM FROM COLLEGE BOARD BASED UPON TWO-YEAR LONG AP COURSES. AP SEMINAR AND AP RESEARCH. RATHER THAN TEACH SUBJECT SPECIFIC CONTENT, THESE COURSES DEVELOP STUDENTS SKILLS IN RESEARCH,

[00:10:01]

STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE THE TWO YEAR PROGRAM CAN EARN ONE OF TWO DIFFERENT AP CAPSTONE AWARDS, WHICH ARE VALUED BY COLLEGES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND ACROSS THE WORLD.

THE HIGHEST AWARD IS THE AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA, WHICH IS EARNED WHEN A STUDENT EARNS A THREE OR HIGHER IN BOTH AP SEMINAR AND AP RESEARCH, IN ADDITION TO FOUR OTHER AP SUBJECT AREA TESTS.

I'M SO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT FOR THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR, 39 OF OUR AP CAPSTONE STUDENTS EARNED THE AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA, WHICH REPRESENTS 95% OF OUR TWO-YEAR AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS.

TODAY, YOU WILL HEAR FROM TWO OF OUR AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA RECIPIENTS, ELIANE ALKHOURY AND CHRISTINE CHOI, FOLLOWED BY OUR TWO CAPSTONE DIPLOMA CANDIDATES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN AP RESEARCH, AUBREY LEVITAN AND DYLAN PATEL.

I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU TALK TO OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. HELLO EVERYONE. I'M ELIANE AND I'M A SENIOR.

FINISHING THE AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM LAST YEAR WAS HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I'VE EVER MADE.

NOT ONLY DID I GET THE AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA, IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST CLASS I'VE TAKEN BECAUSE IT GAVE ME A REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY AND ACTUALLY DO THINGS THAT MATTER OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, ESPECIALLY 40 PAGE RESEARCH PAPERS.

FOR MY AP RESEARCH PROJECT, CHOPIN YOUR STRESS AWAY.

I STUDIED HOW CHOPIN'S MUSIC AFFECTS STRESS LEVELS IN TEENS WITH SUBCLINICAL ANXIETY BY TRACKING HEART RATE CHANGES AND ANALYZING INTERVIEWS.

I'M ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THAT PROJECT PUBLISHED, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING.

THIS PROGRAM HAS TRULY BEEN A BLESSING. IT'S BEEN A HUGE HIGHLIGHT IN MY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, AND HAS SHOWN MY ABILITY TO TAKE INITIATIVE AND THINK INDEPENDENTLY, SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY HELPING ME AS I APPLY TO RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLEGE.

AP CAPSTONE IS AN INCREDIBLE ASSET TO CARROLL SENIOR HIGH BECAUSE IT PUSHES STUDENTS TO GO BEYOND MEMORIZATION.

IT TEACHES US TO CREATE KNOWLEDGE. I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY IT'S PREPARED ME NOT JUST FOR COLLEGE, BUT FOR LIFE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRISTINE CHOI, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING ME TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE AS AN AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA RECIPIENT.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS I'VE GAINED FROM THE PROGRAM IS HOW INTERDISCIPLINARY IT IS.

THE WRITING, REASONING, AND RESEARCH SKILLS I DEVELOPED FROM CRAFTING LOGICAL ARGUMENTS AND EVALUATING SOURCES TO CONSIDERING MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVES HAVE SHAPED HOW I APPROACH ALL MY OTHER CLASSES. THESE SKILLS HAVE TRANSLATED DIRECTLY INTO MY OTHER WRITING HEAVY CLASSES, SUCH AS AP LANGUAGE AND AP LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION AND AP US HISTORY.

AS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO QUICKLY DEVELOP MY POSITION AND FORMULATE CLEAR THESIS STATEMENTS IN HISTORICAL, RHETORICAL, AND ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYS ALL THANKS TO THE EXPERIENCE I'VE BUILT IN CAPSTONE.

FOR MY AP RESEARCH PROJECT, I EXPLORED STARBUCKS'S USE OF INTERIOR DESIGN TO SHAPE ITS BRAND IDENTITY AND CONCEPT OF THIRD PLACE THROUGH FIELD OBSERVATIONS ACROSS SEVERAL DFW LOCATIONS. I FOUND THAT DESIGN ELEMENTS SUCH AS LIGHTING AND SPATIAL DETAILS FOSTER COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION.

AFTER COMPLETING THE CAPSTONE CURRICULUM, I FEEL INCREDIBLY CONFIDENT STEPPING INTO COLLEGE LEVEL RESEARCH, AND I KNOW THESE SKILLS WILL PROVIDE A STRONG FOUNDATION AS I PURSUE PROFESSIONAL DEGREES.

AP CAPSTONE IS SUCH A VALUABLE PART OF CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE IT TEACHES STUDENTS TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY WHILE ENCOURAGING CRITICAL THINKING.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE GONE THROUGH AP CAPSTONE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF MISS BURKAMP, AND AM EXTREMELY PROUD TO BE WEARING THE CAPSTONE BLUE STOLE IN MAY TO REPRESENT MY HARD WORK THROUGH SUCH A RIGOROUS CURRICULUM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AUBREY LEVITAN, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME SHARE MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR IN AP CAPSTONE.

WHEN I FIRST BEGAN MY JOURNEY IN THE AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM, I WASN'T AWARE OF THE BENEFITS THAT I WOULD RECEIVE.

BEING IN THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY HELPED ME ANALYZE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS, BUT ALSO ALLOWED ME TO CREATE MY OWN PERSPECTIVE.

THIS, I LEARNED, WAS A VERY IMPORTANT SKILL TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLYING FOR COLLEGES.

WHEN RECENTLY COMPLETING MY APPLICATIONS, I FOUND THAT THE SKILLS I DEVELOPED HELPED ME WRITE MY SUPPLEMENTALS RESEARCH COLLEGE COLLEGES AND DISCOVER HELPFUL APPLICATION TIPS.

IN A BROADER AN ASPECT AP CAPSTONE HELPED ME STOP SEEING IN BLACK AND WHITE AND MOST OF AP CURRICULUMS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE RIGHT ANSWER. HOWEVER, IN THIS CLASS IT TAUGHT US TO DEVELOP OUR OWN VIEWPOINTS WITHOUT THERE BEING A RIGHT ANSWER.

AP CAPSTONE ALSO HELPED ME DEVELOP ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND PRESENTATION SKILLS.

THE LONG TERM PROJECTS REQUIRE STUDENTS TO PLAN WITHOUT PROCRASTINATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING I STRUGGLE WITH AND BE ACTIVE IN THE CLASS.

[00:15:04]

WHEN PRESENTING, MISS BURKAMP WILL HELP YOU PREPARE AND GIVE ADVICE TO YOU TO STRENGTHEN, AFTER YOUR PRESENTATION TO STRENGTHEN YOUR SKILLS.

THESE SKILLS WILL HELP ME IN HIGH SCHOOL AND HAVE AND HAVE PROVED TO HELP ME BEYOND, AND I COULD NOT BE MORE THANKFUL.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WAYS THAT THE AP CAPSTONE PROGRAM HAS HELPED ME, BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SKILLS I HAVE DEVELOPED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, AND I CONSIDER IT TO BE A NECESSITY TO CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

HI, MY NAME IS DYLAN AND I AM A JUNIOR AT CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH ALSO MEANS I AM DOING EVERYTHING TO TRY AND GET INTO COLLEGE RIGHT NOW.

AND AP RESEARCH IS ACTUALLY DOING THE MOST IN HELPING ME RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S HELPING EVERY PART OF MY LIFE.

IT HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT SOURCES AND FIND DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WHEN IT'S NOT, WHEN IT'S NOT GIVEN TO YOU. AND IT REALLY TEACHES YOU HOW TO USE ALL YOUR RESOURCES AROUND YOU TO TO CONVEY A POINT THAT'S YOUR OWN.

AND IT'S ONE OF THESE CLASSES THAT WILL REALLY GO DOWN AND HELP ME IN COLLEGE, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT EVEN WITH MATERIALS THAT AREN'T SPECIFICALLY GIVEN TO YOU, YOU CAN USE WHAT'S AROUND YOU TO CREATE YOUR OWN VIEWPOINT AND CREATE YOUR OWN LIKE IDENTITY AND YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE AND YOUR OWN KIND OF LIKE, KIND OF YOUR OWN FEELING OF LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND STUFF.

AND IT'S REALLY HELPED ME WITH MY PRESENTING SKILLS. I, THIS YEAR I'VE BECOME CAPTAIN OF VARSITY DIVING TEAM, AND I'VE HAD TO DO A LOT OF PRESENTATIONS TO MY TEAM AND EVERYTHING. AND WITH AP RESEARCH, ESPECIALLY AP SEMINAR, YOU'RE PRESENTING EVERY SINGLE DAY ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND THAT REALLY SHOWS ME THAT I CAN USE. THAT'S ANOTHER THING YOU CAN USE WHAT'S AROUND YOU AND USE MY EXPERIENCES WITH WHAT MY TEAM HAS GIVEN ME.

AND IT'S LET ME REALLY PRESENT WHAT I FEEL. AND IT'S A BIG THANK YOU TO MISS BERGKAMP, WHO'S GIVEN ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND HAS TAUGHT ME ALL THESE SKILLS THAT I'M GOING TO BE USING IN THE FUTURE AND ALL MY OTHER CLASSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME SPEAK. THANK YOU DYLAN. IT REALLY IS AMAZING.

I'LL JUST MENTION THIS THAT OUT OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS THAT WE OFFER AS CARROLL ISD, THIS ONE REALLY HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAMS OUT THERE.

I MEAN DYLAN, YOU DID A GREAT JOB SPEAKING. I ONLY COUNTED, LIKE, ONE.

SO GOOD, SO GREAT. I CAN'T EVEN SAY A SENTENCE WITHOUT THREE.

SO GREAT JOB, GREAT JOB, AND ALL THE STUDENTS.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DIPLOMA. THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GO OFF AND DO AWESOME IN COLLEGE, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HI EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ASHLEY FLORES AND I'M THE ACE TEACHER AT CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I'M MISS CASTILLO, THE STRUCTURE LEARNING TEACHER, AND WE SUPPORT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE SOME OF THE AMAZING THINGS OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN UP TO THIS YEAR THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY BASED INSTRUCTION TRIPS AND OUR NEW SCHOOL BASED ENTERPRISE, THE DRAGON EXCHANGE, WHICH IS RUN BY THE DRAGON EXCEL TRANSITION STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. THE STORY IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE AT THE ADMIN BUILDING AND IS OPEN ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS FROM 9:30 TO 11:30 A.M.

COMMUNITY BASED INSTRUCTION, OR CBI, GIVES OUR STUDENTS HANDS ON, REAL WORLD LEARNING EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.

THE GOAL IS TO HELP THEM BUILD INDEPENDENCE AND PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS THAT WILL SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS IN ADULTHOOD.

WE VISITED ALL SORTS OF PLACES THE LIBRARY, GROCERY STORE, FIRE STATION, AND EVEN CHICK-FIL-A.

EACH TRIP IS PLANNED AROUND OUR STUDENTS INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM, OR IEP GOALS.

THAT COULD MEAN LEARNING TO MAKE A PURCHASE, PRACTICING SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY, OR NAVIGATING SOCIAL INTERACTIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE LIBRARY, STUDENTS WENT ON A SCAVENGER HUNT TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT SECTIONS AND PRACTICE ASKING STAFF FOR HELP.

AT THE GROCERY STORE. THEY USE SHOPPING LISTS AND EVEN CHECKED OUT AT SELF-CHECKOUT.

BACK AT SCHOOL, WE STARTED SELLING OR SELLING BUTTONS AND BRACELETS IN THE FRONT OFFICE.

STUDENTS HELP ASSEMBLE THESE ITEMS TO SUPPORT THE DRAGON EXCHANGE INITIATIVE, GIVING THEM THE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE FOR FOLLOWING MULTI-STEP INSTRUCTIONS.

OUR STUDENTS ALSO GOT TO VISIT THE FIRE STATION, WHICH WAS A REALLY BIG HIT, AND THEY'VE BEEN LEARNING COOKING SKILLS AS WELL, LIKE PLACING COOKIE DOUGH ON SHEETS AND MAKING DISHES SUCH AS POACHED EGGS, PIZZA, CREPES, TACOS AND PASTA. IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO SEE THEIR CONFIDENCE GROW AS THEY TRY NEW THINGS.

WE'RE SO PROUD OF ALL THE PROGRESS OUR STUDENTS HAVE MADE THIS YEAR THROUGH THESE EXPERIENCES.

FROM CBI TRIPS TO THE DRAGON EXCHANGE, THEY'RE GAINING SKILLS THAT WILL HELP THEM BE MORE INDEPENDENT, CONFIDENT AND READY FOR LIFE BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING US SHARE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS WITH Y'ALL. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME BUTTONS HERE THAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS MADE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE TO Y'ALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU BOTH. AND THANK YOU.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN THE DRAGON EXCHANGE IS AWESOME.

IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO COME TO IN PERSON, OR DO THEY, CAN THEY GO ONLINE? WE DON'T HAVE AN ONLINE. OKAY. AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SELLING.

[00:20:02]

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU BET.

THANK YOU. AWESOME. GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO.

SPONSORED BY POTBELLY'S. TAKE IT AWAY. YUM. ALL RIGHT.

IT'S MY PLEASURE TO RECOGNIZE MRS. GLORIA GOMEZ AS CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL'S SUPER SUBSTITUTE OF THE MONTH.

MISS GOMEZ BRINGS JOY AND POSITIVITY TO OUR CAMPUS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SHE WALKS IN EACH MORNING WITH A WARM SMILE AND A CHEERFUL ATTITUDE THAT'S CONTAGIOUS.

STUDENTS AND STAFF ALIKE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER.

YOU JUST SAW HER KIDDOS CHATTING WITH HER JUST A SECOND AGO.

SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF DEPENDABLE AND FLEXIBLE, WHETHER IT'S COVERING A LAST MINUTE CLASS CHANGE, STEPPING IN FOR A COLLEAGUE, OR LENDING A HAND IN A CLASSROOM THAT ISN'T ON HER SCHEDULE.

MISS GOMEZ ALWAYS SAYS YES, AND SHE DOES IT WITH GRACE, PATIENCE, ENTHUSIASM AND THIS SMILE.

HER IMPACT GOES FAR BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. WE ALL KNOW THAT FINDING SUBSTITUTE COVERAGE CAN SOMETIMES BE A REAL CHALLENGE, BUT KNOWING THAT WE CAN COUNT ON MISS GOMEZ GIVES OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS INCREDIBLE PEACE OF MIND.

HER RELIABILITY LIFTS A HUGE WEIGHT OFF OUR SHOULDERS AND ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON TEACHING AND SUPPORTING STUDENTS, EVEN WHEN WE'RE AWAY. OUR STAFF DESCRIBES HER AS THE FIRST TO ASK HOW SHE CAN HELP.

ALWAYS KIND AND PATIENT, AND SOMEONE WHO MAKES THE DAY BRIGHTER FOR EVERYONE AROUND HER.

EVEN OUR INSTRUCTIONAL AIDES MENTION HOW MUCH THEY ENJOY WORKING WITH HER BECAUSE OF HER GENUINE CARE FOR STUDENTS AND HER POSITIVE PRESENCE ON CAMPUS.

MISS GOMEZ EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE AND TEAMWORK THAT KEEPS OUR SCHOOL RUNNING SMOOTHLY.

SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND EVERY DAY, AND WE ARE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR HER DEDICATION AND HEART.

AND I WILL GO OFF SCRIPT WHEN I LET HER KNOW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE OUR SUBSTITUTE.

OF THE MONTH, SHE SAID SHE WAS SO EXCITED, BUT THE PART THAT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART WAS SHE SAID ANYTHING TO JUST CONTINUE SERVING DRAGONS.

AND THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME. SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN CELEBRATING MISS GLORIA GOMEZ, OUR SUPER SUB OF THE MONTH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 8, WHICH IS THE INFORMATION PORTION OF OUR MEETING.

[8. INFORMATION]

GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN, PRESIDENT BRIAN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I APPRECIATE THIS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS GOING TO GO OVER WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR.

WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE. WE'RE GOING TO TOUCH ON THE TRASH AND RECYCLING AND ASSESS ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES.

SO FAR SINCE I MADE OUR FIRST CHANGES TO ANY OF OUR SYSTEMS 17 MONTHS AGO, AND SO FAR, WE'VE SAVED ABOUT $715,000.

WE, WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED, I WOULD SAY HALF THE LIGHTING IN THE DISTRICT OUTSIDE DID NOT WORK.

AND THE LIGHTING THAT DID WORK STAYED ON 24 OVER SEVEN.

SO WE REPAIRED LIGHTING TO THE SENIOR HIGH FINE ARTS, THE PARKING LOT, WALNUT GROVE, CARROLL MIDDLE, JOHNSON ELEMENTARY, THE HIGH SCHOOL AND ROCKENBAUGH.

WE'VE DONE LIGHTING UPGRADES TO THE SENIOR HIGH COMPETITION GYM AND THE ADMIN GYM HERE.

WE FIXED MAJOR DOMESTIC WATER LEAKS AT 1101 NORTH CARROLL AND DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL, THAT HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS.

AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO TRACK COST AND USAGE DAILY AND MONITORING ALL HVAC ISSUES EVERY DAY.

THIS CHART RIGHT HERE, YOU SEE WE SAVED LAST SCHOOL YEAR $363,000.

IT'S 13% SAVINGS. YOU CAN SEE IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IT WAS COLDER AND WE SPENT MORE MONEY THAN WE DID THE YEAR BEFORE.

WE ALSO. SEE THE SAME TREND WITH NATURAL GAS.

WE LOST MONEY ON NATURAL GAS, BUT WE ACTUALLY USED 1% LESS.

IT WAS JUST A 99 PERCENT INCREASE IN TOTAL COST OF GAS.

AND ALSO IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IT WAS COLDER, BUT AND BUT WE PROTECTED OUR BUILDINGS BETTER, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MAINTENANCE ISSUES THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY THE YEAR BEFORE. WATER.

SORRY. ON WATER WE SAVE 17%, BUT WE USE 32% LESS WATER THAN WE HAD IN THE YEAR BEFORE.

AND THIS YEAR I'VE ONLY GOT TWO MONTHS WORTH TWO MONTHS WORTH OF DATA.

I'M GETTING A LITTLE AHEAD OF MYSELF. OVERALL, LAST YEAR WE SAVED ALMOST $400,000, 11%.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE DECREASE EVERY MONTH WITH THE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, THOSE WERE HIGHER. WE HAD TWO COLD SNAPS LAST YEAR INSTEAD OF THE ONE THE YEAR BEFORE.

AND SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU'RE COMPARING LAST YEAR TO YOUR BASELINE YEAR.

A BASELINE. THE BASELINE YEAR WOULD BE THE FIRST YEAR YOU WERE HERE OR THE YEAR BEFORE YOU? IT WOULD BE THE YEAR BEFORE I GOT HERE, THE FIRST SCHOOL YEAR BEFORE I GOT HERE.

I ARRIVED IN JANUARY OF 24, SO. AND THERE WAS ONLY, I WOULD SAY MARCH IS WHEN I STARTED MAKING ANY REAL CHANGES.

[00:35:07]

AND SO FAR THE ONLY COMPLETE DATA FOR THIS YEAR IS ONLY UP TO DATE UNTIL AUGUST.

BECAUSE OF THE BILLING CYCLE, SEPTEMBER WON'T BE READY FOR LIKE ANOTHER TEN DAYS, BUT YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, JUST THOSE TWO MONTHS, WE SAVED $183,000 COMPARED TO THE 22-23 YEAR.

SO IN THE FIRST YEAR WE MET OUR GOAL OF 10%. WE ACTUALLY WENT ABOVE AT 11.

THIS YEAR WE'RE 3% BETTER SO FAR IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR.

WE'VE DECREASED USAGE AND COSTS DESPITE USING MORE OUTSIDE LIGHTING AND KEEPING THE FINE ARTS CENTER AT 74 DEGREES AT ALL TIMES AND THEN ADDING EXTRA HOURS FOR DRAGON U. AND THAT'S AT EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYM AND CAFETERIA.

SO THAT'S THE MAJOR ENERGY USAGE AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

SO WE STARTED DIGGING INTO THE TRASH AND RECYCLING.

AND LAST SCHOOL YEAR, WE SPENT 14% MORE TRASH THAN WE DID THE YEAR BEFORE.

WE MADE SOME CHANGES THAT SHOULD NET US ABOUT $100,000 IN SAVINGS A YEAR.

SO WE JUST PUT THOSE CHANGES IN PLACE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

AND SO LAST MONTH WAS THE FIRST BILLING CYCLE THAT WE SAW.

AND, BUT IT SHOULD BE ONGOING WITH A DECREASE IN ENROLLMENT.

WE DON'T NEED AS MANY TRASH CANS AS WE HAD. FUTURE ACTIVITY.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE HALFWAY IN, HALFWAY DONE REPAIRING THE SOLAR INVERTERS AT CMS, THEY HAVEN'T WORKED IN A FEW YEARS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING MORE LIGHTING RETROFITS AT DMS AND HOPEFULLY THE AUXILIARY GYM AT THE SENIOR HIGH.

WE'RE ALSO TESTING OUT SOME FIXTURES FOR LED RETROFITS IN THE PARKING LOTS.

AND THEN THERE'S PROGRAMING ISSUES WITH THE CHILLERS AT THE SENIOR HIGH AND ALL OF THE UNITS IN THE CLASSROOM ADDITION AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO ONCE WE GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF, WE'LL BE WASTING A LOT LESS ENERGY.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER AN EFFECTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN.

ARE THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN WHILE YOU'VE BEEN ON ON THE JOB FOR THIS SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THAT YOU WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY? OR IS THERE ASPECTS OF THE PLAN THAT ARE ALL ENCOMPASSING THAT YOU FEEL LIKE THAT WE CAN SAVE MONEY YEAR OVER YEAR FOR THE NEXT HOWEVER MANY YEARS? I FEEL LIKE WE COULD DO A BETTER JOB DURING THE HOLIDAY SHUTDOWNS.

UNPLUGGING MORE. THERE'S NOBODY IN THE BUILDINGS.

AND, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT BEING USED. JUST MAKING SURE WE TURN OFF THE LIGHTS.

RIGHT. WE MIGHT GET A COUPLE MORE PEOPLE JUST TO WALK THE BUILDINGS A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

AND AS FAR AS, I MEAN, WE JUST NEED TO REPLACE SOME AGING EQUIPMENT.

RIGHT, AND YOU MENTIONED THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THE FINE ARTS COMPLEX AT 74 DEGREES AT ALL TIMES, THAT JUST BECAUSE OF THE. THEY GOT A NEW GRAND PIANO, AND IT HAS TO BE AT 74 THAT IT HAS TO BE WITHIN A RANGE AT ALL TIMES.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE RUNNING THE CONCERT HALL BASICALLY ALL THE TIME NOW.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE APPRECIATE THAT. I HAD A QUICK QUESTION, AND THAT IS I RECALL WHEN WE WERE ON THE BOARD AND THIS POSITION WAS CREATED, WE WERE REALLY EXCITED. YOU KNOW, WE SAW SOME SAVINGS THAT OR POTENTIAL SAVINGS.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE SAVINGS HAVE COME ABOUT, WHICH MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY.

AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE HAPPY. BUT JUST LOOKING AT THIS MONTH TO MONTH IN THE SUMMER MONTHS THERE ARE DROPS.

IS THAT AS SIMPLE AS JUST, YOU KNOW, THERMOSTAT MANAGEMENT.

NO, IT'S, IT WAS TURNING STUFF OFF WHEN WE WHEN THE BUILDINGS WERE OCCUPIED, BEFORE IT WAS JUST RUNNING 24 OVER SEVEN.

OKAY. AND SO, I MEAN, SET, SET POINTS HELP. BUT BASICALLY NOT USING EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU DON'T NEED IT IS THE BIGGEST SAVINGS.

OKAY. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE COULD DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER OVER THE CHRISTMAS BREAK.

YEAH. THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS. SPRING BREAK. NOW, I WOULD IMAGINE WE HAD A PRETTY MILD SUMMER.

AND SO THAT PROBABLY PLAYS INTO IT. YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE'S A COLDER WINTER, WE MAY HAVE USAGE GO UP WHEN THERE'S A HOTTER SUMMER.

SAME THING. ONE THING I WILL POINT OUT, YOUR BASELINE YEAR YOU HAD A HUGE JUMP OF 10, 11%.

YOU KNOW, THAT THIS YEAR THAT JUMP YOU SAID WAS ABOUT 3% ON TOTAL USAGE.

AND SO I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE LIKE YEAR OVER YEAR, IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE THAT SAME 10%.

BUT THAT'S JUST NOT A REALITY. THAT'S NOT FEASIBLE.

IT'S MAINTAINING IT AT THAT POINT. AND SO ANY LITTLE BIT THAT YOU CAN SQUEEZE OUT AFTER THAT BIG JUMP IS, IS CERTAINLY A WIN FOR THE DISTRICT. SO, I APPRECIATE I KNOW YOU AND MR. MOONEY ARE PROACTIVE AND TRYING TO DOWNSIZE THE NUMBER OF TRASH CANS THAT WE HAVE.

[00:40:08]

AND SO THE GYM LIGHTING SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED, WE WERE PROACTIVE IN FINDING LIGHTING FOR THIS BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S USED ON WEEKENDS FOR YOUTH BASKETBALL. BUT WHAT YOU DIDN'T MENTION IS, I KNOW Y'ALL WORKED WITH THE CITY, AND THEY ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE RETROFIT OF THE LIGHTS IN THIS BUILDING, WHICH IS GOOD. SO WE APPRECIATE NOT ONLY THE FACT THAT YOU'RE BEING COGNIZANT OF WHERE OUR BIG USAGE AREAS ARE, BUT YOU'RE FINDING CREATIVE WAYS TO ACTUALLY FUND THE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE LIGHTS.

THANK YOU SIR. DOCTOR GLENN, I KNOW THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT TO US IN THE PAST, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER.

YOU JUST ALLUDED TO IT. SO WE GOT RID OF, LIKE, HALF OF OUR DUMPSTERS THAT WERE ON OUR CAMPUSES.

AND HOW MUCH DID THAT SAVE US? WAS OVER $100,000 AND 12 MONTH PERIOD.

IT SHOULD COME UP TO ABOUT $100,000. OKAY. FOR JUST REMOVING HALF THE DUMPSTERS THAT WEREN'T BEING USED.

OKAY. JUST ONE QUESTION. I'M CURIOUS. I THINK YOU'VE TOLD US THIS BEFORE, BUT SHOULD WE ASSUME THAT LIKE, ALL THE AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEATERS ARE ON SOME KIND OF PROGRAMING WHERE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF AFTER A CERTAIN TIME? OR IS THERE MOTION DETECTORS WITH THE LIGHTING SO THAT THEY'LL CUT OFF WHEN THERE'S NO MOTION? IS THAT. THERE'S DIFFERENT SYSTEMS IN EVERY BUILDING AS FAR AS THE LIGHTING GOES.

AND SOME, SOME AREAS THERE'S NO CONTROLS OTHER THAN A LIGHT SWITCH.

AND THAT'S THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TOWARDS IN THE FUTURE.

OTHER AREAS HAVE, YOU KNOW, MOTION SENSORS. SOME OF THEM ARE SCHEDULE BASED.

ALL THE AIR CONDITIONING IS RAN ON SCHEDULES, BUT WE HAVE WHAT YOU CALL UNOCCUPIED SET POINTS.

THEY NEVER REALLY TURN OFF. YOU JUST CHANGE THE RANGE OF WHEN IT COMES ON, IT'S 55 DURING THE WINTER FOR HEATING.

AND THEN IT'S 80 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER FOR, FOR COOLING.

THAT'S ONLY DURING UNOCCUPIED HOURS. THANK YOU.

THAT ACTUALLY BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THAT TO CONTINUE THIS YOU NEEDED TO REPLACE AGING EQUIPMENT.

IS THERE LIKE DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET? IS THERE KIND OF LIKE, DO YOU NEED TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE? IS THAT WITHIN YOUR BUDGET OR IS THERE OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR? I DON'T HAVE A BUDGET YET. THAT'S PROBABLY THAT'S PROBABLY A BETTER QUESTION FOR DIRECTOR MOONEY IN THE AUDIENCE.

I KNOW THAT HE IS, HE HAS A BREAKDOWN IN A SPREADSHEET OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT.

HOW MANY ON EACH CAMPUS, THE UNITS THAT ARE OVER 20 YEARS OLD, THE UNITS THAT ARE OVER 30 YEARS OLD.

OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING LIKE A 30 YEAR OLD HVAC UNIT, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE NEAR AS EFFICIENT AS SOMETHING THAT'S FIVE YEARS OLD.

WE DO HAVE A REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE IN PLACE. I KNOW HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO USE SOME OF THE EXTRA MONIES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ARE FREED UP TO REPLACE HVAC UNITS.

BUT YOU KNOW, OVER OVERALL, THOSE ARE ONE OF THE COSTS THAT WE ABSORB INTO THE BUDGET AT ABOUT PROBABLY $500,000 A YEAR.

WE WOULD LIKE A LOT MORE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT MORE AGING UNITS ON OUR BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE.

BUT RIGHT NOW, WE BUDGET ABOUT A HALF $1 MILLION TOWARD THOSE TYPE OF EXPENDITURES.

AND HE CAN MR. MOONEY IS IN THE AUDIENCE IF YOU WANT A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE FOR. WE HAVE A. MR..

1800 LINE, BASICALLY LIST OF THINGS THAT GO FROM 30 YEARS OLD TO TEN YEARS OLD.

AND SO WE KEEP THAT VERY MUCH IN MIND WHEN WE ARE, WHEN WE'RE REPLACING SOMETHING OR WE'RE REPAIRING SOMETHING.

SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING, WORKING ON WHAT WE THINK IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO TO TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.

WE JUST WE JUST SPENT 30, $40,000 OF REPAIRING A UNIT, BUT IT'S A $200,000 UNIT.

IT'S ONLY TEN YEARS OLD. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, WE MAY DO SOMETHING JUST THE OPPOSITE OF THAT AND DO A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT JUST BECAUSE OF THE AGE AND WHAT WE THINK IS THE, THE, THE LIFESPAN OF IT.

SO WE HAVE WE HAVE WHATEVER WHATEVER WE HAVE, WE HAVE EVERY UNIT LINE ITEM.

WE HAVE ALMOST EVERY SWITCHGEAR, EVERY LIGHT SYSTEM, EVERYTHING LINE ITEM TO OF THE LIFESPAN OF WHAT WE CONSIDER THE LIFESPAN OF SOMETHING.

SO WE TAKE THAT ALL INTO CONSIDERATION. DID THAT HELP? THANK YOU. THANK YOU TRUSTEE BOTTOM. THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN COMPILING A LIST OF ITEMS ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THAT DATE OUT 20 YEARS.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LONG OVERDUE THAT WE'VE NEEDED THAT'S ACCURATE AND CREDIBLE, THAT THE BOARD COULD CONSIDER WHEN THE USEFUL LIFE OF OUR FACILITIES OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE COMES TO AN END.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT. I KNOW IT'S SAVING US SOME MONEY IT'S JUST GOING TO INCREASE OVER TIME.

[00:45:04]

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS YOUR HARD WORK. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 9 IS OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THE AGENDA.

I WANT TO READ A STATEMENT THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY LATER THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW MORNING AS PART OF MY PRESIDENTIAL REPORT, AND IT STATES THIS, THE CARROLL ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE A HISTORIC AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE FOR THE SALE OF OLD DRAGON STADIUM.

THIS PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTS A SHARED COMMITMENT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CITY TO HONOR OUR PAST, WHILE PRESERVING THIS CHERISHED LANDMARK FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

OLD DRAGON STADIUM IS MORE THAN JUST A PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT IS HALLOWED GROUND IN OUR COMMUNITY'S HISTORY.

IT WAS HERE THAT THE DRAGONS CAPTURED STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 1989, 1992 AND 1993 AND WHERE COUNTLESS MEMORIES WERE MADE BY PLAYERS, STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND FANS. FOR MANY, IT REMINDS REMAINS A SYMBOL OF TRADITION, PRIDE AND THE DRAGON SPIRIT THAT UNITES OUR COMMUNITY.

WE HEARD THE CONCERNS OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO DID NOT WANT TO SEE THIS SITE TURNED INTO RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

SO, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, WE HAVE ENSURED THAT OLD DRAGON STADIUM WILL INSTEAD BE TRANSFORMED INTO A COMMUNITY GREEN SPACE,

[00:55:07]

THIS COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY COUNCIL REFLECTS THE BEST OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF SOUTHLAKE.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS GRATEFUL FOR THE LEADERSHIP, VISION AND TEAMWORK THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING OLD DRAGON STADIUM CONTINUE TO INSPIRE DRAGON PRIDE FOR YEARS TO COME.

THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 9.4, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ADOPTING "PROTECT THE TRADITION" AS THE OFFICIAL DISTRICT SLOGAN.

BEFORE TRUSTEE YEAGER READS THE RESOLUTION, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SLOGAN OF OUR COMMUNITY.

ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN ON EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT IT'S DISPLAYED AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AND AT OUR STADIUMS AND IN GYMNASIUMS. AND THE STORY BEHIND IT WAS WHEN COACH TODD DODGE WAS HIRED TO REPLACE COACH BOB LEDBETTER, BOTH NOW ON THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.

THE BOOSTER CLUB PRESIDENT AT THE TIME ASKED COACH DODGE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR YOUR SLOGAN TO BE, TO PUT ON ALL OF WHAT WE WERE ABOUT TO PRODUCE.

AND TODD DODGE SAID SOMETHING LIKE OUR SLOGAN IS GOING TO BE PROTECTED THE TRADITION AS LONG AS I'M HERE.

PROTECTED THE TRADITION, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, HAS STUCK.

AND NOW WE WANT TO FORMALIZE IT IN A BOARD RESOLUTION.

SO, TRUSTEE YEAGER, WILL YOU PLEASE READ THE RESOLUTION? WHEREAS THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR ITS TRADITION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND A SHARED COMMITMENT TO THE DRAGON SPIRIT.

AND WHEREAS THE DISTRICT'S SUCCESS IS BUILT UPON GENERATIONS OF DEDICATED STUDENTS, STAFF, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO UPHOLD A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, ATHLETICS, AND CHARACTER. AND WHEREAS THE PHRASE "PROTECT THE TRADITION" EMBODIES THE PRIDE, RESPONSIBILITY AND UNITY THAT DEFINE THE CARROLL ISD COMMUNITY, REMINDING ALL STAKEHOLDERS OF THEIR ROLE IN PRESERVING AND ADVANCING THE VALUES THAT MAKE THE DISTRICT EXCEPTIONAL. AND WHEREAS ADOPTING "PROTECT THE TRADITION", AS THE OFFICIAL DISTRICT SLOGAN REINFORCES A COLLECTIVE COMMITMENT TO MAINTAINING HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, SUPPORTING OUR ENDEAVOR EDUCATORS FOSTERING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND HONORING THE LEGACY OF THOSE WHO HELPED BUILD THE DISTRICT'S REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE.

AND WHEREAS THE SLOGAN SERVES NOT ONLY AS A RALLYING CALL FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF, BUT ALSO AS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE FOR LEADERSHIP DECISIONS, COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ENSURING THAT THE DISTRICT'S VISION REMAINS ALIGNED WITH ITS CORE VALUES AND LONGSTANDING TRADITIONS.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HEREBY ADOPTS "PROTECT THE TRADITION" AS THE OFFICIAL DISTRICT SLOGAN TO SYMBOLIZE AND PROMOTE THE CONTINUED PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE DISTRICT'S PROUD HERITAGE. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THIS SLOGAN SHALL BE USED IN OFFICIAL DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS, BRANDING AND PUBLICATIONS AND SHALL REPRESENT THE DISTRICT'S ONGOING COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY, ACHIEVEMENT AND COMMUNITY PRIDE. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0.

PROTECT THE TRADITION IT IS. THANK YOU AGAIN.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. MOVING ON TO ITEM 9.5, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN 1956 PIZZA AND CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

MR. PARK. PRESIDENT BRIAN. DOCTOR GLENN. TRUSTEES.

GOOD EVENING. FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, SO TONIGHT I AM SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS APPROVAL TO EMBARK ON THIS MOU AND NON-EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH 1956 PIZZA TO SERVE ALTERNATIVE FOOD OPTIONS AT OUR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS YEAR.

WHEN MR. MOONEY AND I, WE WERE KIND OF EXAMINING OUR FOOD COSTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ALONG WITH OUR FOOD SERVICE DIRECTOR, DANA DODGE, WE NOTICED THAT THE SENIOR HIGH WAS ONE OF THE CAMPUSES THAT THAT WE WERE KIND OF LOSING MONEY ON. AND SO, SO WE WERE BRAINSTORMING KIND OF IDEAS AND, AND JUST HAPPENSTANCE THAT THAT MISS KEMP AND 1956 PIZZA APPROACHED US AS WELL, AND SO. WE DID SOME ANALYSIS AND, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT PIZZA,

[01:00:06]

AND SO WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE SAME REVENUES ON BOTH DAYS AS OUR HISTORICAL TUESDAYS GOING BACK TO, TO, TO A MONTH AND BEYOND. AND SO WE FOUND THAT THE TRIAL WAS A SUCCESS.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY. THIS BECOMES ANOTHER WAY, ANOTHER CREATIVE WAY TO GENERATE REVENUE THROUGH THIS MOU.

THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECAPTURE. IT STAYS HERE LOCALLY.

AND SO I'M HERE NOW TO, AS A PART OF THE DETAIL THAT IS OUTLINED IN THE MOU TO SEEK APPROVAL TO CONTINUE THIS IN A, IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS YEAR.

THANK YOU, MR. PARK. I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION. AND YOU KNOW WHO DOESN'T LIKE A GOOD PIZZA? RIGHT. AND SO OUR ESPECIALLY 17 AND 18 YEAR OLDS THAT ARE AT OUR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, AND ALSO, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE BUSINESS TO LOCAL RESIDENTS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES.

AND THESE ARE BOTH THEY BOTH ARE A RESIDENT AND A LOCAL BUSINESS.

SO WE APPRECIATE 1956 PIZZA. SO MUCH FOR REACHING OUT TO US.

MR. PARK, THIS DOESN'T PREVENT ANY OTHER BUSINESSES, CORRECT, THAT ARE IN SOUTH LAKE OR EVEN OUTSIDE TO COMING TO US TO GIVE US PROPOSALS ON INNOVATIVE WAYS THAT 1956 HAS PROPOSED, IS THAT CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I THINK I THINK THIS, YOU KNOW, REALLY THROUGH THE ANALYSIS THAT WE DID, ESPECIALLY EXAMINING SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CAMPUS, EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THIS OPERATION HAS REALLY, YOU KNOW, ONE IT'S PROVED THAT THAT WE CAN KEEP THE CAMPUS JUST AS SECURE WHILE THIS OPERATION IS GOING ON. AND SO YOU KNOW, IT'S THE FIRST AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALLOW OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO WANT TO PARTNER WITH THE WITH THE DISTRICT TO BEGIN THOSE TALKS.

THANK YOU. MR. PARK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WELL, YOU JUST BROUGHT UP A REALLY INTERESTING POINT THAT I HADN'T THOUGHT OF.

I KNOW THAT SAFETY AND SECURITY IS SUCH A BIG DEAL, ESPECIALLY AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS, BUT THAT PREVENTS A LOT OF THOSE, LIKE UBER EATS AND THOSE TYPES OF DELIVERIES FROM COMING ONTO CAMPUS.

SO WHAT A GREAT IDEA. AND GIVEN IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE AND THERE'S MAYBE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER FOOD TRUCKS TO KIND OF BE.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE WE'RE SUPER FORTUNATE TO HAVE MISS LEWIS WHO IS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX ON WAYS TO BE.

BE CREATIVE ON HER CAMPUS TO GIVE KIDS OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT CERTAINLY OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOUTHLAKE PD COMES INTO PLAY.

AND IN 1956 PIZZA. THEY'RE PRETTY CREATIVE TOO IN THE MOU.

THAT'S ONLINE FOR YOU TO READ. THEY FEED THE SOUTHLAKE PD OFFICERS THAT ARE, THAT ARE THERE WATCHING OVER OUR KIDS.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR HIGH QUITE, QUITE FRANKLY, THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LOSES MONEY. IT'S OUR ONLY CAMPUS THAT LOSES MONEY IN THE CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM.

AND WE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE WE DON'T TAKE FEDERAL FUNDS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AUTONOMY WITH THE FOOD THAT WE'RE SERVING.

AND SO WITH MISS LEWIS'S BACKING AND BLESSING AND, AND THE PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE WITH THE PD I CAN TELL YOU THAT I WAS THERE LAST WEEK AND IT WAS AMAZING HOW MANY KIDS STAYED FOR PIZZA. WHAT MISTER PARK DIDN'T SAY IS I THINK OUR HIGHEST GROSSING PIZZA DAY WAS ABOUT $86 IN REVENUE.

AND I THINK ON HER FIRST DAY, SHE WAS ALMOST $2,000 IN PIZZA SALES.

SO IT WAS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE FUNDS THAT COME BACK TO THE DISTRICT.

THEY'RE NOT SUBJECT TO RECAPTURE. AND AND WE'RE OFFERING SOMETHING TO OUR KIDS KEEPING THEM ON CAMPUS.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS THAT LEAVE ABOUT THAT TIME.

AND SO IF WE CAN FIND PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO KEEP THEM ON CAMPUS, THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. PARK? I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF INNOVATION.

AGAIN, IT'S AN AREA WHERE WE DON'T MAKE MONEY.

WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH THIS GROUP BEFORE. IF YOU'VE GONE TO DRAGON GAMES OR THEY'VE BEEN ON, I THINK EVERY CAMPUS THAT I'VE BEEN TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ETC..

AND YOU KNOW, WE THINK ABOUT THE STADIUM AND THAT WE BRING IN, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THE FEED STORE.

RIGHT? AND WE HAVE HEARD THOSE OF US THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A WHILE, STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS,

[01:05:05]

AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE GOT AWAY FROM, TOOK AWAY FROM.

THAT WAS VARIETY. AND SO THE FACT THAT WE CAN HAVE AND IT'S JUST ONE DAY A WEEK.

AGAIN READ THE MOU IF YOU'D LIKE ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.

BUT I JUST LOVE THAT IDEA. AND I HOPE THERE ARE MORE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS LIKE THIS THAT WE BRING TO OUR STUDENTS.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK KIDS ARE ALREADY HOPING THAT MISS LEWIS CAN FIND HIM A TACO TRUCK.

SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. YEP. ALL RIGHT. THAT SAID, PRESIDENT BRYAN, I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVE THE MOU BETWEEN CARROLL ISD IN 1956 PIZZA TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0. THANK YOU, MR. PARK. MOVING ON TO OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM IS 9.6.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 2026-2027 ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE, GRADING GUIDELINES AND NEW COURSE OFFERINGS, MISS PETTY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN. TRUSTEES.

DOCTOR GLENN, IF YOU WILL RECALL, AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING, I BROUGHT TO YOU THE 26-27 ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE AND GRADING GUIDELINES.

WE HAVE COMBINED THOSE TWO HANDBOOKS. ONE STOP SHOPPING.

I THINK PEOPLE WILL APPRECIATE THAT. WE ALSO BROUGHT TO YOU FIVE NEW COURSES THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR APPROVAL FOR TONIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT THOSE FIVE COURSES ARE? I CAN, WE HAVE TWO COURSES. WE HAVE TWO COURSES ADVANCED JOURNALISM AND ADVANCED JOURNALISM II AND III, WHICH WILL COUNT AS ELECTIVES. WE ALSO HAVE THREE COURSES AP BUSINESS WITH PERSONAL FINANCE, AP CYBERSECURITY AND AVIATION GROUND SCHOOL, WHICH ARE OUR CTE CLASSES.

SOME GREAT OPTIONS, ESPECIALLY THE AVIATION OPTION.

I REALLY LIKE THAT. TRUSTEE BOTTOM. THE PERSONAL FINANCE IS THE ONE THAT ALIGNS WITH THAT NEW STATE LEGISLATIVE.

YEAH. WELL YES, WE'RE HOPING SO. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED FINAL, TEA HAS NOT COME OUT WITH THE FINAL APPROVAL ON THAT.

BUT YES, IT IS LOOKING THAT WAY. OKAY. AND THEN I ALSO SAW ON THE LIST THERE WERE SEVERAL CLASSES THAT WERE REMOVED.

SO JUST FROM A PROCESS PERSPECTIVE, CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH? WAS THAT MISS LEWIS KIND OF SITTING DOWN WITH YOU AND GOING, LIKE, WALK ME THROUGH THE PROCESS OF HOW WE DECIDED ON THOSE CLASSES? MOST OF THE CLASSES THAT ARE BEING REMOVED WERE DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY THEY HADN'T MADE IN YEARS.

SO WE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK THEM OFF. THE OTHER ONES WE INCORPORATED INTO OTHER CLASSES.

THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS? I JUST THE COMMENT WE MADE LAST MEETING IS I APPRECIATE AND I'M SORRY TRUSTEE BOTTOM, I KNOW YOU WERE YOU WERE BUSY OR TRAVELING THE VERY THOROUGH NATURE IN WHICH YOU AND MISS GOODMAN AND OTHERS PRESENTED WHY THOSE COURSES WERE GOING TO BE PHASED OUT. AND THEN WHY THESE NEW ONES WOULD BE ADDED IN.

SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT WORK THAT YOU BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A BEAST.

IT'S A BIG. IT'S A PROCESS. BUT WE APPRECIATE OUR CAMPUSES BECAUSE OUR CAMPUSES GO BACK AND THEY REALLY LOOK AND OUR TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD FOR SOME OF THEM TO GIVE UP SOME OF THOSE.

THEY KEEP THINKING THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK, BUT YOU CAN'T ADD NEW.

NO. IF WE HAVE THE OLD SO AND ALSO THE GROWTH AND WE HEARD IT FROM PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AS, AS RECENTLY AS THE LAST FOOTBALL GAME, I WENT TO AND TALKED TO SOMEBODY.

BUT THE GROWTH IN THE CTE AND CONTINUING THOSE CERTIFICATIONS AND EVERYTHING, I THINK THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY BEEN GREAT, ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. YES, IT REALLY HAS.

THANK YOU. IT REALLY HAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? OKAY. PRESIDENT BRYANT, I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVE THE 2026-2027 ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE, GRADING GUIDELINES AND THE NEW COURSE OFFERINGS AS PRESENTED BY MISS PETIT.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0. IF NO OBJECTION, WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 7:09 P.M.

THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY. THANK YOU. BOARD.
