[4. RECOGNITIONS]

GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN, PRESIDENT BRYAN AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WE'RE THRILLED TO HIGHLIGHT DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CARROLL MIDDLE SCHOOL TONIGHT.

TONIGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TWO OUTSTANDING STUDENTS AND LEADERS ON OUR CAMPUSES.

NIKHIL KATCALIA IS A STUDENT AT DMS WHO VALUES CENTER AROUND LEARNING.

HE LOVES TO EXPLORE MATH, ALMOST EVERY FINE ART IN ALL FACETS OF SCIENCE.

HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CHOIR, BAND, AND THEATER PROGRAMS. WITHIN THESE HE HAS SHARED SO MANY AMAZING DISTRICT SANCTIONED EXPERIENCES.

ALSO, HE HAS LEARNED SO MUCH FROM ALL OF HIS TEACHERS, HIS MUSIC EDUCATORS, HUMANITIES TEACHERS, AND HIS ART TEACHERS. SEPARATELY, HE HAS DEVELOPED DANCE SKILLS IN HIP HOP, BOLLYWOOD, TAP AND CHOREOGRAPHY, WHICH HE'S USED IN THE MARY POPPINS PRODUCTION LAST YEAR AND THE DIWALI FEST FROM DISTRICT HELP AND THE SOCIAL NETWORK IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT.

HE HAS NOW CREATED DANCE FROM SCRATCH, AUDIO ENGINEERING, CHOREOGRAPHY AND COSTUMES AND HAS DONE SO MUCH MORE.

HE IS THANKFUL TO LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE AND I AM EXCITED TO SEE WHERE HIS FUTURE TAKES HIM.

CONGRATULATIONS.

[00:05:03]

SHE INDEPENDENTLY CREATED AND TEACHES WEEKEND FINANCE AND STOCK MARKET CLASSES FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES FIVE THROUGH TEN.

SHE DEVELOPED HER OWN CURRICULUM AND INCORPORATED REAL WORLD ECONOMIC TOPICS TO PROMOTE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INVESTING FUNDAMENTALS.

THROUGH THESE CLASSES, SHE HAS RAISED $3,000, WHICH SHE DONATED IN FULL TO THE SALVATION ARMY.

LAST YEAR, SHE WAS INVITED BY CNBC TO MEET THEIR INVESTMENT TEAM AND TOUR THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

SAANVI HAS SINCE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WHERE MAYOR SHAWN MCCASKILL AND THE CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIMED JANUARY 6TH, 2026 AS SAANVI GULLAPALLI DAY IN HONOR OF HER EFFORTS TO PROMOTE FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONG STUDENTS.

SHE HAS ALSO BEEN FEATURED IN SOUTHLAKE STYLE MAGAZINE AND CITY LIFESTYLE FOR HER EDUCATIONAL IMPACT.

RECENTLY, SAANVI LAUNCHED A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, SAANVI FINANCE ACADEMY, TO PROVIDE FREE FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION TO STUDENTS.

SHE WILL CONTINUE OFFERING CLASSES LOCALLY AND IN FRISCO, TEXAS, WITH ALL PROCEEDS SUPPORTING CHARITABLE CAUSES.

WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE ALL THAT SHE CONTINUES TO DO.

[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS. GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. WE WANTED TO TAKE THIS TIME TO CELEBRATE ALL OF YOU ON THE BOARD AND THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT YOU DO FOR ALL OF US.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, DEDICATION AND CARE YOU GIVE TO OUR SCHOOLS.

MANY OF THE DECISIONS THAT YOU MAKE ARE BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT THEY HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON OUR DAILY LIVES.

THE CHOICES YOU MAKE HELP SHAPE OUR SCHOOL IN WAYS WE NOTICE EVERY DAY, WHETHER IT'S THE CLASSES WE TAKE, THE RESOURCES WE USE, OR THE PROGRAMS THAT HELP US FEEL SUPPORTED AND INCLUDED.

BECAUSE OF YOU, WE HAVE STRONG ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

THANK YOU. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SPECIFICALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN HELPING GET THE VATRE PASSED.

WE KNOW THAT WAS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY AND TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK BECAUSE OF THE VATRE.

OUR DISTRICT CAN BETTER SUPPORT TEACHERS AND STAFF, IMPROVE RESOURCES, AND CONTINUE PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO OUR COMMUNITY, SUPPORTING OUR EDUCATORS, AND ALWAYS KEEPING STUDENTS AT THE CENTER OF YOUR DECISIONS.

ON BEHALF OF ALL THE STUDENTS AND STAFF YOU SERVE IN CARROLL ISD, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AND HAPPY SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH.

WOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE] GREAT JOB. YEAH. NO. OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CARROLL AND DAWSON, MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

NEXT UP IS ITEM 4.2. BOARD RECOGNITION INSPIRE EXCELLENCE TEACHERS OF THE MONTH SPONSORED BY EECU.

THANK YOU EECU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. FIRST UP IS IS MS. WAGNAN. IS MS. WAGNAN HERE? THERE SHE IS. OKAY.

YEAH. YOU DID. YEAH. SURPRISE! HAPPY APPRECIATION GUYS, WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE.

[00:10:03]

AND I KNOW A LOT OF MY PEERS AND COWORKERS ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE YOU GUYS AS WELL, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

BUT THE OTHER REASON I GET TO BE HERE IS BECAUSE OF THIS AMAZING TEACHER, MS. LINDLEY MCBRIDE. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT HER AND SOME THINGS THAT OUR PARENTS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT HER AS WELL.

SO MS. MCBRIDE IS A SWEET, KIND TEACHER THAT TRULY LOVES HER JOB AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR EACH STUDENT IN HER CLASS.

HER UNFAILING POSITIVITY AND UPBEAT TEACHING STYLE HAS ENCOURAGED MY SON TO NOT ONLY WANT TO TRY HARDER, BUT ALSO TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH LEARNING NEW THINGS AND NOT LIMITING HIMSELF OR ABILITIES.

AND THEN FROM ANOTHER PARENT, OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE MS. MCBRIDE FOR ALL THREE OF OUR CHILDREN. HER LOVE FOR THE ART OF TEACHING AND HER LOVE FOR THE CHILDREN INSPIRES ON A DAILY BASIS AND CONTINUES TO IMPRESS US.

OUR DAUGHTER LOOKS FORWARD TO GOING TO SCHOOL SIMPLY BECAUSE MS. MCBRIDE. SHE IS KIND AND YET HOLDS CHILDREN ACCOUNTABLE IN ORDER FOR THE STUDENTS TO SEE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

OUR DAUGHTER HAD A PARTICULARLY ROUGH DAY, AND ONE DAY WHEN SHE CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL, SHE SEEMED IN GOOD SPIRITS.

SHE SAID THAT MS. MCBRIDE NOTICED SHE WASN'T HAPPY AND GAVE HER A BIG HUG RIGHT WHEN SHE NEEDED IT.

AS A PARENT, HEARING OUR DAUGHTER TELL US THAT HER TEACHER NOTICED HER CHANGE IN EMOTIONS AND THEN DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT, GIVES US A CONSISTENT REASSURANCE THAT WE ARE SO INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO HAVE MS. MCBRIDE AS OUR DAUGHTER'S TEACHER. HER STUDENTS DESCRIBE HER AS PRETTY, SMART AND KIND.

LINDLEY IS THAT TEACHER WHO IS A QUIET, UNSUSPECTING GIANT.

ALL OF THESE THINGS SAID FROM HER STUDENTS AND HER PARENTS ARE TRUE.

SHE DOES NOT BRING ATTENTION TO HERSELF EVER.

AND YET SHE HAS STRONG CONVICTIONS THAT MAKE HER AN AMAZING TEACHER AND AMAZING PERSON.

CES IS BLESSED TO HAVE HAD LINDLEY AT OUR CAMPUS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS, AND I AM JUST REALLY PROUD TO BE HER PRINCIPAL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS, MRS. MCBRIDE.

[APPLAUSE] OKAY, MS. LEONARD, YOU'RE UP. I ALWAYS LOVE WHEN I GET ASKED TO COME RECOGNIZE ONE OF OUR TEACHERS.

IT'S SO MUCH FUN TO JUST SEE THEM GET RECOGNIZED FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK.

TONIGHT, IT IS TRULY AN HONOR TO RECOGNIZE OUR INSPIRE EXCELLENCE SECONDARY TEACHER, MS. BRIANNA LIPSCOMB. MS. LIPSCOMB IS IN HER SECOND YEAR AS A TEACHER AND A COACH AT DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SHE GREW UP IN A SMALL EAST TEXAS TOWN WHERE SHE FELT LIKE FAMILY.

ONCE A HORNET, ALWAYS A HORNET. SHE WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND ATHLETICALLY.

DURING MIDDLE SCHOOL, MS. LIPSCOMB PARTICIPATED IN THE AVID PROGRAM, WHERE SHE DISCOVERED THAT HER PASSIONS FOR MATH, SPORTS, AND HELPING OTHERS COULD COME TOGETHER IN A CAREER IN TEACHING AND COACHING.

SHE WENT ON TO ATTEND DALLAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY, WHERE SHE STUDIED MATHEMATICS AND SECONDARY EDUCATION WHILE ALSO COMPETING IN CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK. MS. LIPSCOMB NEVER IMAGINED HERSELF TEACHING IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL UNTIL HER FINAL SEMESTER OF CLINICAL TEACHING.

WHILE THIS AGE GROUP FACES MANY CHALLENGES AND IS OFTEN CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT STAGES OF SCHOOLING, SHE FELT CALLED TO SERVE AND TEACH STUDENTS DURING THIS PIVOTAL TIME.

SHE FEELS TRULY BLESSED TO WORK IN CARROLL ISD AS IT REMINDS HER OF HER HOME.

ONCE A DRAGON, ALWAYS A DRAGON. HERE ARE JUST A FEW REFLECTIONS FROM STAFF MEMBERS ABOUT MS. LIPSCOMB. I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CO-TEACH WITH BRIANNA DURING THIS ACADEMIC YEAR, AND HER ABILITY TO ENGAGE EFFECTIVELY WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IS COMMENDABLE.

I OBSERVE STUDENTS REQUESTING TO HAVE LUNCH IN HER CLASSROOM AND PASSING BY HER DOOR SPECIFICALLY TO GREET HER.

AS A YOUNG EDUCATOR, SHE DEMONSTRATES THE CAPACITY TO ESTABLISH MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS AND SERVES AS A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR HER STUDENTS.

BRIANNA IS A WONDERFUL COLLEAGUE. SHE IS A COMPASSIONATE TEACHER WHO ALWAYS PUTS THE NEEDS OF HER STUDENTS FIRST.

BRIANNA ENCOURAGES HER STUDENTS TO ALWAYS DO THEIR BEST AND CREATES A FUN AND INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM.

BRIANNA IS SUCH A POSITIVE LIGHT IN THE MATH DEPARTMENT AND DAWSON.

THROUGHOUT THE LAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE SEEN HER BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH HER STUDENTS.

THESE RELATIONSHIPS CARRY BEYOND HER SEVENTH GRADE CLASSROOM AND INTO THE HALLWAY AND THE STUDENT'S ACADEMIC YEARS TO FOLLOW.

ONE OF OUR PARENTS SHARED THE FOLLOWING ABOUT MS. LIPSCOMB. MS. LIPSCOMB MEETS STUDENTS EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE AND CONSISTENTLY SHOWS UP FOR THEM.

AS A NEW TEACHER AT DAWSON, SHE WENT FAR BEYOND SCHEDULED CLASS TIME, OPENING HER MORNINGS, LUNCH PERIODS AND IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS TO SUPPORT A GROUP OF ENERGETIC BOYS AND HELP THEM SUCCEED.

SHE CHALLENGED EACH STUDENT AT THEIR INDIVIDUAL LEVEL WHILE CREATING A CLASSROOM WHERE THEY FELT SEEN, SUPPORTED, AND VALUED. DURING A SERIOUS MEDICAL CRISIS IN OUR FAMILY, MS. LIPSCOMB UNKNOWINGLY BECAME A SAFE PLACE FOR MY SON.

SIMPLY BY BEING PRESENT. SHE OFFERED CONSISTENCY, CONNECTION AND CARE, REMINDING US HOW POWERFUL IT IS WHEN A TEACHER SHOWS UP EVEN WITHOUT

[00:15:02]

AND I CAN PROMISE YOU, SOME OF THESE YOUNG MEN IN HERE HAD MS. LIPSCOMB, AND THEY CAN ATTEST TO EVERY WORD OF THAT.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN CELEBRATING MS. BRIANNA LIPSCOMB FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND DEDICATION.

SHE TRULY REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT OF INSPIRE EXCELLENCE, AND WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AS PART OF OUR DAWSON FAMILY.

[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS, MS. LIPSCOMB. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP IS ITEM 4.3 INSPIRE EXCELLENCE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

THIS MONTH IT'S TWO EMPLOYEES MS. GIRGIS.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. TONIGHT I'M HONORED TO RECOGNIZE TWO OF OUR OUTSTANDING LITTLE DRAGON EARLY EDUCATORS WHOSE DEDICATION IMPACT TRULY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. MS. MYRA CARBALLO AND CHELSEA THOMPSON.

EARLY LEARNING IS BUILT ON INTENTION, STRONG RELATIONSHIPS, AND MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES, AND BOTH OF THESE LADIES APPROACH THEIR WORK WITH PURPOSE BY ENGAGING AND SUPPORTING CHILDREN THROUGH DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, HANDS ON ACTIVITIES.

MS. MYRA BRINGS SO MUCH JOY INTO HER CLASSROOM AND ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE WHILE REMAINING DEEPLY FOCUSED ON INTENTIONAL TEACHING.

ONE PARENT SHARED, MS. MYRA'S NOT JUST BABYSITTING OUR CHILDREN.

SHE INTENTIONALLY FOLLOWS THE AGE APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM AND MAKES THEM EXCITED TO LEARN AND GROW.

SHE'S THE DEFINITION OF JOY, AND THAT JOY IS REFLECTED DAILY IN HER STUDENTS CONFIDENCE AND THEIR GROWTH.

MISS CHELSEA HAS BEEN AN INSTRUMENTAL PERSON IN THE SUCCESS OF OUR LITTLE DRAGON PROGRAM, BY HELPING SHAPE A PROGRAM THAT FAMILIES TRULY VALUE.

AS ONE PARENT SHARED, I'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH THE NEW LITTLE DRAGONS PROGRAM AND FEEL SO BLESSED THAT CHARLOTTE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I FEEL INCREDIBLY BLESSED TO WORK ALONGSIDE OF SUCH AN AMAZING TEAM.

THEY EXEMPLIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITIZING EARLY LEARNING OUTCOMES WHILE NURTURING THE WHOLE CHILD, AND UNDERSTAND THAT THESE EARLY YEARS MATTER SO MUCH.

MYRA AND CHELSEA, THANK YOU FOR LEADING WITH PROFESSIONALISM, CREATIVITY AND FROM THE HEART.

CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE]

[00:20:27]

AND MISS MARTIN, YOU'RE UP, MISS LEONARD. OKAY.

OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING ANKITHA MEKALA SUB AT CARROLL MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SHE EXHIBITS ALL OF THE QUALITIES WE LOOK FOR IN AN EXEMPLARY SUB.

SHE IS RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, CREATES A GREAT RAPPORT WITH STUDENTS, AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP OUT AND COVER WHEREVER SHE IS NEEDED.

ANKITHA ALWAYS SHOWS UP TO SCHOOL EARLY WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND A BRIGHT SMILE.

SHE TAKES THE INITIATIVE AND ASKS IF THERE IS ANYTHING SPECIFIC GOING ON THAT DAY THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF SO THAT SHE CAN BE PREPARED.

ANKITHA HAS BEEN ON CAMPUS ON DAYS WHERE WE HAVE HAD DRILLS AND ALWAYS HANDLES THEM WITH CONFIDENCE AND EASE.

OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF LOVE HER AND TRULY APPRECIATE HOW SHE HANDLES SITUATIONS WHEN THEY ARISE.

WE ARE SO THANKFUL AND APPRECIATIVE TO HAVE ANKITHA AS ONE OF OUR AMAZING SUBSTITUTES IN THE DISTRICT AND AT CMS. [APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS! MR. LEONARD.

ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE TIME. IT'S MY HONOR TO RECOGNIZE MS. CHIA LAI, OUR DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL SUPER SUB OF THE MONTH.

SHE HAS BEEN A SUBSTITUTE HERE FOR FIVE YEARS.

AND THIS IS HER SECOND YEAR SUBBING AT CARROLL ISD.

SHE RECENTLY TOOK A LONG TERM SUB JOB FOR US IN THE LIBRARY.

SHE WORKED ON BOTH MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES. SHE WAS FLEXIBLE.

SHE TOOK ON MANY, MANY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR US.

IN ADDITION TO BEING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, SHE IS ALSO A CERTIFIED CHINESE TEACHER AND SHE TAUGHT CHINESE FOR 14 YEARS.

SHE LOVES TEACHING AND WORKING WITH PEOPLE. SHE CHOSE TO BE A SUBSTITUTE BECAUSE SHE LOVES THE FLEXIBILITY, BUT ALSO SHE LOVES TO FEEL IMPORTANT WHEN SHE SHOWS UP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND SHE SEES THE PEOPLE AND THE TEACHERS RELIEVED.

SHE FEELS GREAT. SHE CURRENTLY LIVES IN SOUTHLAKE WITH HER HUSBAND AND HER SWEET TWO DRAGONS.

PLEASE HELP ME CELEBRATE MS. CHIA LAI FOR HER INCREDIBLE LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND STAFF AT DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SHE TRULY EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE. CONGRATULATIONS! [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT. NEXT UP, ITEM 4.5 SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH.

DOCTOR GLENN, MAKE IT QUICK. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

I APPRECIATE THAT, APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING OUT FOR SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY LAST MONTH.

BUT WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR MEETING LAST WEEK. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO CELEBRATE IT THIS WEEK.

I ACTUALLY HAVE IN FRONT OF ME A PROCLAMATION FROM THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

HE SAYS, THROUGH THE AGES, EACH GENERATION HAS BEEN CALLED UPON TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATION AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR OTHERS.

THIS SPIRIT IS ESPECIALLY EVIDENT IN THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN, FOR IT IS THROUGH QUALITY EDUCATION THAT WE PLACE STUDENTS FIRMLY ON THE PATH TO A

[00:25:02]

THESE LOCAL LEADERS USE THEIR TIME, ENERGY AND KNOWLEDGE TO SET AND REVIEW BUDGETS, OVERSEE THE MANAGEMENT OF TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND ENSURE THAT STUDENTS RECEIVE AN EXEMPLARY EDUCATION.

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS PLAY AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN PROMOTING A LIFELONG LOVE OF LEARNING IN THE NEXT GENERATION BY COLLABORATING WITH TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THEY CONTINUE TO PLAY A KEY ROLE AS WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE LONE STAR STATE.

I ENCOURAGE ALL TEXANS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MORE THAN 7000 BOARD MEMBERS WHO SERVE AND REPRESENT OUR GREAT STATE.

SIGNED GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, STATE OF TEXAS. TRUSTEES, ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY, THE STUDENTS THAT ARE WITH US TODAY AND OUR STAFF, WE THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT JOB YOU DO. I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES, SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION WITH CARDS AND AND GIFTS AND PASTRIES AND SO ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF CARROLL.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT JOB YOU DID. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. WE APPRECIATE THAT.[APPLAUSE] I THINK I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

WE'RE JUST HONORED TO SERVE THIS AWESOME COMMUNITY AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING, WE CALL ON EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL TO STEP UP WHEN THE TIME IS CALLED TO SERVE THIS AWESOME COMMUNITY. WE CAN'T BE NUMBER ONE IN TEXAS WITHOUT THE GREAT CONSTITUENTS OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. THANK YOU.

ALL THE CAMPUSES THAT GAVE US THESE UNBELIEVABLE GIFTS.

WE APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH. AND WE WORK ON YOUR BEHALF WITH ALWAYS LOOKING AT THE STUDENTS FIRST.

SO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENTS. THERE ARE FIVE INDIVIDUALS SIGNED UP TONIGHT.

WE'LL GIVE EACH INDIVIDUAL THREE MINUTES. MS.

[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

HELLO AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH.

THANK YOU. I'M MICHAEL ANN BUSH. I'M A RESIDENT OF SOUTHLAKE AND BOTH MY COLLEGE AGE KIDDOS ARE DRAGON KINDERGRADS.

AFTER VOLUNTEERING 15 YEARS IN THE DISTRICT, I NOW SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN A DIFFERENT WAY AS A MEMBER OF THE CAPTAIN MOLLY CORBIN CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE DAR, WE ARE A NONPOLITICAL, NONPROFIT WOMEN'S SERVICE ORGANIZATION WHERE EACH MEMBER IS A PROVEN LINEAL DESCENDANT OF A PATRIOT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

OUR MISSION IS THREEFOLD. HISTORIC PRESERVATION, EDUCATION, AND PATRIOTISM.

AS CHAIR OF THE AMERICA 250 COMMITTEE, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE TRUSTEES FOR RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR COUNTRY'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY.

THIS MILESTONE, CALLED THE SEMI QUINCENTENNIAL, WHICH MEANS HALF OF FIVE CENTURIES, IS MORE THAN A CELEBRATION.

IT'S A NATIONAL TEACHING MOMENT. WE INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO OUR EVENT ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH AT 2 P.M..

WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TO DEDICATE A NEWLY PLANTED LIBERTY TREE IN BICENTENNIAL PARK.

JOIN US TO LEARN ABOUT THE LIBERTY TREE'S LEGACY AND THE HONOR, AND TO HONOR OUR PATRIOTS WHO FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE.

HISTORY IS NOT JUST PRESERVED IN ARCHIVES AND STATUES, BUT IT ALSO LIVES AND BREATHES IN OUR LANDSCAPES.

THIS TREE WILL STAND NOT ONLY AS A MARKER OF AMERICA'S 250TH BIRTHDAY, BUT AS AN ENDURING SYMBOL OF UNITY, GROWTH AND RESILIENCE. WILL THE NEXT GENERATION KNOW WHAT AMERICA STANDS FOR? I'LL LEAD YOU WITH WORDS FROM PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.

FREEDOM IS NEVER MORE THAN ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM EXTINCTION.

WE DIDN'T PASS IT TO OUR CHILDREN IN THE BLOODSTREAM.

IT MUST BE FOUGHT FOR, PROTECTED, AND THEN HANDED TO THEM TO DO THE SAME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU, MS. BUSH. [APPLAUSE] THE NEXT SPEAKER IS HOWARD ROSENTHAL.

THE THIRD SPEAKER IS BRANDON HALL.

[00:30:03]

MY NAME IS BRANDON HALL, AND I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING SOUTHLAKE AND THE CARROLL ISD COMMUNITY ON THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

AND JUST LET ME BEGIN TODAY BY THANKING YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND STAFF OF CARROLL ISD AND COMMEND YOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE JOB YOU DO IN EXECUTING YOUR MISSION TO BUILD ON A DRAGON TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE BY FOSTERING A SAFE, CARING, AND CREATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. THE REASON FOR MY VISIT TODAY IS TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO CELEBRATE AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY. AMERICA IS A SPECIAL PLACE. WE ARE THE GREATEST NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

OUR GREAT REPUBLIC HAS BEEN STEWARDED BY GENERATIONS BEFORE US AND DEFENDED IN BLOOD BY FALLEN HEROES WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE.

IT IS NOW OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BOTH YOU AS THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MYSELF AT THE STATE LEVEL, TO PASS THIS DOWN TO OUR NEXT GENERATION, OUR HERITAGE, TRADITIONS, CULTURE, VALUES AND FREEDOM.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EDUCATION IN THE SOCIAL STUDIES, AND ESPECIALLY AMERICA'S HISTORY, WOULD NOT ONLY EQUIP THEM WITH THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PEOPLE, PLACES, AND EVENTS THAT SHAPED OUR NATION, BUT ALSO INSPIRE THEM WITH THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA THE MAGNITUDE OF OUR NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THE PROVIDENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD, AND THE INCREDIBLE STORIES OF OUR HEROES.

WE MUST CLEARLY COMMUNICATE TO THEM THAT THEY ARE PART OF SOMETHING SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES, AND THEY HAVE A PART IN THE GREATEST STORY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

WE SHOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR AMERICA'S EXCEPTIONALISM, BUT RATHER CELEBRATE IT AND PROMOTE IT TO OUR STUDENTS.

CARROLL ISD SERVES SO MANY STUDENTS FROM VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS TELLING THE GREAT STORY OF OUR COMMON HERITAGE AS AMERICANS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNITE THEM ALL. YOU AND I PLAY A PART IN ENSURING THAT OUR GREAT REPUBLIC SURVIVES FOR ANOTHER 250 YEARS.

THE ONLY HOPE FOR THIS IS TO TEACH HISTORY THAT WILL UNITE OUR NEXT GENERATION, INSPIRE THEM TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS, AND MOTIVATE THEM TO PRESERVE LIBERTY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN, COURAGE, INTEGRITY, PATRIOTISM, PERSEVERANCE, AND EXCELLENCE ARE A FEW QUALITIES THAT COME TO MIND.

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRIT OF AMERICANISM IS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE SPIRIT OF THE DRAGON.

DRAGONS DISPLAY EXCELLENCE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM AND ENRICHING EXTRACURRICULAR PURSUITS AND IN ATHLETICS.

THIS GREATNESS DOESN'T HAPPEN ON ITS OWN. LEADERSHIP SETS THE TONE.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ADMINISTRATION, TEACHERS, AND STAFF OF CARROLL ISD DESERVE TREMENDOUS CREDIT FOR THE EXCELLENCE YOU HAVE CULTIVATED.

AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR PRIORITIZING PATRIOTISM.

GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS TEXAS AND GO DRAGONS.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MARISSA MAHON.

GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN, PRESIDENT BRYAN AND TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ON LAST MONTH'S SCHOOL BOARD.

I WANT TO TOUCH ON A VARIETY OF THINGS TONIGHT.

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CONSENT ITEM REGARDING SPECIAL EDUCATION CAMERAS.

WHILE CAMERAS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW, IF A PARENT REQUESTS IT, OUR COMMUNITY TRULY APPRECIATES YOU'RE IMPLEMENTING THE BOARD AUTHORIZING ALL QUALIFYING CLASSROOMS TO HAVE THOSE CAMERAS. SO THANK YOU.

I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER A POLICY THAT GUARANTEES WE HAVE THE SEPARATION OF CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON ALL OF OUR ITEMS THAT ARE PRESENTED AND ALSO THAT ALL PRESENTATIONS ARE ATTACHED TO AGENDAS.

THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS AN ISSUE UNDER THE PRIOR BOARD, AND PRESIDENT BRYAN YOU AND TRUSTEE SMITH HAD BROUGHT BACK THE TRANSPARENCY IN THE PAST, AND THE RECOMMITTING TO TRANSPARENCY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

SO WE CAN HAVE CONSTRUCTIVE INPUT AS A COMMUNITY.

AN EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED THIS IS HOW WE HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION AND BOARD ACTION FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TO ENCLOSE THE EAST MARKETING DECK.

THERE'S NO DISCLOSURE OF THE POSSIBLE AMOUNT WE'RE SPENDING ON THIS. AND BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION AVAILABLE BESIDES THE SYNOPSIS, WE CANNOT PROACTIVELY SEE IF THERE IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE NEEDS OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THE TIF ZONE COMPARED TO THE MARKETING DECK AND WHAT PRIORITY WOULD BE BEST.

WOULD IT BE A REASONABLE ASK TO ANALYZE THE NEEDS OF THOSE CAMPUSES, WHICH ARE OLD UNION, DAWSON AND EUBANKS TO SEE IF THERE COULD BE TIF MONIES THAT COULD BE USED AT EACH CAMPUS FOR THINGS LIKE WHEELCHAIR ACCESS BUTTONS.

THOSE ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE, AND THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD USE THOSE FUNDS FOR.

WHILE THIS IS NOT COMING OUT OF THE SAME BUCKET OF FUNDS, WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT A GRANT FOR AUTISM AND BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS LAST WEEK, I WAS ADVISED THAT WE WEREN'T APPLYING FOR GRANTS DUE TO US FACING $1 MILLION BUDGET CUT NEXT YEAR, AND THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CONTINUE FUNDING THE PERSON OR MATERIALS AFTER THAT GRANT

[00:35:08]

AND SO AS WE NO LONGER HAVE A DISTRICT EMPLOYED BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST AND ARE LEANING ON OTHER INDIVIDUALS TO EXPAND THEIR ROLES IN SPECIAL PROGRAMS, I WOULD ASK THAT WE CONSIDER APPLYING FOR ANY AND ALL GRANTS, EVEN IF IT WILL JUST SUPPORT A DISTRICT'S EVER GROWING BEHAVIOR NEEDS FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME. OUR SPECIAL PROGRAMS TEAMS DESERVE ANY SUPPORT THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE, EVEN IF IT'S FOR SIX MONTHS.

ANYTHING WOULD HELP. AND LASTLY, I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU WOULD REVIEW THE WAY WE HAVE ALTERNATING WORKSHOP AND GENERAL BOARD MEETINGS.

MOST OF THE WORKSHOP LABELED MEETINGS HAVE NOT HAD A WORKSHOP FORMAT LIKE WE DID ORIGINALLY WHEN THE CHANGE OCCURRED, AND THEREFORE ALL THE NAME OF THE MEETING DOES IS LIMIT THE PUBLIC COMMENTS TO AGENDA TOPICS INSTEAD OF BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE LIKE FULL BLOWN WORKSHOPS.

SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO COME SHARE APPRECIATION OR CONCERN KIND OF ON A NORMAL CADENCE SINCE THOSE WORKSHOPS AREN'T ALWAYS HAPPENING.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMITMENT AND TIME.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MS. MAHON. [APPLAUSE] THE FINAL SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS MARY TAMARGO.

MY NAME IS MARY TAMARGO AND MY SON IS TAKING ALGEBRA ONE AT DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

IN SEPTEMBER I ADDRESSED CONCERNS REGARDING SECTION 504 VIOLATIONS, GRADING INCONSISTENCIES AND GRADING ERRORS ON UNIT EXAMS AND QUIZZES.

IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, I FOUND FURTHER GRADING POLICY VIOLATIONS IN ALGEBRA, WHICH WERE NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL MATH DEPARTMENT GRADING GUIDELINES.

I FOUND QUIZZES WERE BEING DOUBLE GRADED, A 200 POINT QUIZ GRADE, AND A 100 POINT QUIZ CORRECTION GRADE, RESULTING IN A SINGLE QUIZ COUNTING 300 POINTS IN THE GRADE BOOK, MAKING THAT ONE QUIZ HEAVIER WEIGHTED THAN A UNIT TEST.

IF A STUDENT SCORED LOWER ON THE QUIZ CORRECTION ASSIGNMENT, THEIR GRADE AVERAGE DECREASED.

QUIZZES ARE BEING WEIGHTED AT 200 POINTS, WHICH IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS WHO WEIGHT THEIR QUIZZES AT 100 POINTS.

ALSO, HOMEWORKS ARE BEING ENTERED AS A WEEKLY AVERAGE INSTEAD OF DAILY GRADES, CHANGING THE WEIGHTING OF HOMEWORK GRADES AGAIN NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH HIGH SCHOOL GRADING PRACTICES, AND I FOUND CONTINUED SCORING ERRORS, ERRORS ON UNIT TESTS AND QUIZZES.

BECAUSE ALGEBRA ONE IS A HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT COURSE, GRADING POLICY VIOLATIONS AFFECT TRANSCRIPT ACCURACY, GPA CALCULATIONS, CLASS RANK, FUTURE COURSE PLACEMENT, AND COLLEGE ADMISSION PATHWAYS.

I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT ON NOVEMBER 21ST TO DOCTOR GLENN.

TO DATE I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS EMAILS EXCHANGES FOR IN-PERSON MEETINGS WITH BLAIR HODAS, TISHA BEARDEN, JASON DEARDORFF, GINA PEDDY, TERRY SHIN AND I HAVE EXCHANGED EMAILS WITH BRIAN NICHOL AND NIKKI LEONARD IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE INFORMALLY.

ON DECEMBER 15TH, I HAD AN IN-PERSON MEETING WITH DOCTOR GLENN, GINA PEDDY, AND TERI SHIN.

STILL WITH NO RESOLUTION, I FILED A GRIEVANCE ON JANUARY 15TH.

I FILED A GRIEVANCE AGAINST PRINCIPAL NIKKI LEONARD AND THE TEACHER, BLAIR HODAS, FOR REFUSING TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION AGAINST PUNITIVE GRADING POLICY VIOLATIONS PER FNG LOCAL BECAUSE THE PRINCIPAL IS THE SUBJECT OF THE GRIEVANCE, SHE MUST RECUSE HERSELF, AND BECAUSE SHE MUST RECUSE HERSELF, THE GRIEVANCE MUST BE ELEVATED TO A LEVEL TWO GRIEVANCE WHERE IT IS HANDLED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OR A DESIGNEE.

FNG LOCAL REQUIRES THE GRIEVANCE TO BE ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE THAT CAN REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

DESPITE THIS, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM AN HR COORDINATOR LAST WEEK STATING THAT THE LEVEL 1 GRIEVANCE WAS ASSIGNED TO HER.

WHEN I PUSHED BACK TO DOCTOR GLENN TODAY, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM GINA PEDDY STATING THAT THE LEVEL ONE GRIEVANCE WAS ASSIGNED TO HER.

EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE GRADES DUE TO GRADING POLICY VIOLATIONS.

I HAVE SPENT THE LAST FIVE MONTHS TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS GRADING POLICY ISSUE WITH NO SUCCESS, AND YET THIS IS ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO INTENTIONALLY DELAY THE GRIEVANCE PROCESS.

I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO DIRECT DOCTOR GLENN TO ELEVATE THIS TO A GRIEVANCE LEVEL, TWO.

THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE]. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY MORE SPEAKERS, MS. SHELTON? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT 6.1.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT]

[00:40:06]

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM 6.2. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING HIRING RECOMMENDATION FOR HEAD FOOTBALL COACH.

WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A MOTION. THE BOARD IS GOING TO VOTE.

I HAVE A PREPARED STATEMENT THAT I'M GOING TO READ.

AND THEN WE'LL TAKE PICTURES. SO TRUSTEE YEAGER.

I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVED THE RECOMMENDATION FOR MR. LEE MUNN AS THE NEXT DRAGON HEAD FOOTBALL COACH.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. CONGRATULATIONS, COACH.

THANK YOU GUYS. SO TONIGHT WE TURN THE PAGE. AFTER A THOUGHTFUL AND DELIBERATE PROCESS, THIS BOARD HAS VOTED TO NAME COACH LEE MUNN AS THE NEXT HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT CARROLL ISD. CONGRATULATIONS, COACH. TONIGHT WE ALSO GET BACK TO WORK.

CARROLL FOOTBALL HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT SHORTCUTS.

IT'S ABOUT TOUGHNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND PRIDE EARNED EVERY DAY.

COACH MUNN UNDERSTANDS THAT GREAT PROGRAMS ARE BUILT LONG BEFORE THAT OPENING DAY KICKOFF.

THEY WERE BUILT IN MEETING ROOMS, WEIGHT ROOMS, CLASSROOMS AND IN THE DAILY DECISIONS TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.

HE BELIEVES IN ACCOUNTABILITY, CONSISTENCY AND DEVELOPING YOUNG MEN WHO LEAD WITH CHARACTER, TOUGHNESS AND HUMILITY. HE BELIEVES STANDARDS ARE ENFORCED AND TRADITION IS PROTECTED BY THE PEOPLE WILLING TO WORK FOR IT.

TO OUR COACHES, YOU MATTER. YOUR LEADERSHIP MATTERS.

THE WAY YOU TEACH, CORRECT, ENCOURAGE AND HOLD THE STANDARD SHAPES LIVES FAR BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD.

THIS PROGRAM MOVES FORWARD BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMITMENT AND YOUR EXAMPLE.

TO OUR PARENTS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST AND YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

THE VALUES TAUGHT IN THIS PROGRAM. DISCIPLINE, RESILIENCE, RESPECT AND TEAMWORK ARE THE SAME VALUES THAT PREPARE THESE YOUNG MEN FOR LIFE. AND WE DON'T TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY LIGHTLY.

TO OUR PLAYERS, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. THIS IS YOUR PROGRAM.

BUY IN. COMPETE. SERVE YOUR TEAMMATES. HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE.

[7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT]

I WILL READ MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

TONIGHT, I AM PROUD TO BEGIN WITH SOME EXCEPTIONAL NEWS REGARDING THE FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF OUR DISTRICT.

LAST WEEK, OUR DISTRICT WAS AWARDED THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE BOND RATING BY MOODY'S INVESTOR SERVICE OUT OF MORE THAN 1200 INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, ONLY ABOUT A DOZEN HAVE ACHIEVED THIS DISTINCTION.

THAT PLACES OUR DISTRICT IN TRULY ELITE COMPANY.

THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT DID NOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE.

IT IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF FIVE YEARS OF DISCIPLINED DECISION MAKING, THOUGHTFUL PLANNING, AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SOUND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

I WANT TO COMMEND THIS BOARD, AS WELL AS OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP, FOR STEWARDING TAXPAYER DOLLARS WISELY WHILE KEEPING STUDENTS AT THE CENTER OF EVERY DECISION.

THIS RATING IS A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN HOW WE GOVERN, HOW WE PLAN, AND HOW WE PROTECT THE LONG TERM FUTURE OF THIS DISTRICT.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE OUR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT FOLLOWING LAST WEEK'S ICE STORM THEIR HARD WORK, LONG HOURS AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL ENSUREFSUPERD OUR SCHOOLS WERE SAFE, PREPARED AND READY TO REOPEN FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

THEIR EFFORTS OFTEN HAPPEN BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT THEIR IMPACT IS FELT EVERY DAY AND WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT. IN ADDITION, I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE THAT DEDICATED THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE TO THE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH.

SEARCH PROCESS. THE REVIEW OF APPLICANTS AND INTERVIEWS WAS THOROUGH, THOUGHTFUL, AND CENTERED ON WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR ATHLETES, AND OUR COMMUNITY. WE APPRECIATE THE CARE AND INTEGRITY WITH WHICH THIS IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY WAS CARRIED OUT.

FINALLY, IT IS MY HONOR TO ONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATE COACH LEEMAN, WHO WAS SELECTED AS THE 16TH HEAD FOOTBALL COACH IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

COACH MUNN, WE ARE CONFIDENT IN YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR VISION AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENT ATHLETES.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE IMPACT YOU WILL MAKE, NOT ONLY ON THE FIELD, BUT IN THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS AND THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS EVENING REFLECTS WHO WE ARE AS A DISTRICT.

WE'RE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. WE'RE RESILIENT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES AND COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT WE DO.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYS A ROLE IN MAKING THIS DISTRICT SOMETHING WE CAN BE ALL PROUD OF.

THANK YOU. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. DOCTOR GLENN, YOU'RE UP. THANK YOU, MR.

[8. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

THE LONE STAR CUP RECOGNIZES OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN UIL ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS, AND FINE ARTS, AND THE STANDINGS REFLECT SUSTAINED SUCCESS ACROSS ALL OF THOSE AREAS, NOT JUST ONE PROGRAM OR SEASON.

BEING RANKED FIRST SPEAKS TO THE DEPTH OF OPPORTUNITY AND COMMITMENT ACROSS OUR DISTRICT AND TO THE HARD WORK OF OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, COACHES, AND SPONSORS. IF CARROLL ISD FINISHES THE YEAR ON TOP, IT WOULD MARK OUR 10TH LONE STAR CUP CHAMPIONSHIP, THE MOST OF ANY 6A SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AN ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT TRULY REFLECTS A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE AND PRESIDENT BRYAN, YOU RUSHED ME EARLIER, BUT LAST WEEK'S MEETING WAS CANCELED.

AND JANUARY IS SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH, AND I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE SERVICE OF THE TRUSTEES SITTING AT THIS DAIS. OUR TRUSTEES ARE UNPAID VOLUNTEERS WHO DEDICATE COUNTLESS HOURS TO STUDYING ISSUES, ATTENDING MEETINGS AND EVENTS, AND MAKING THOUGHTFUL, OFTEN DIFFICULT DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS, STAFF, AND TAXPAYERS. YOUR HARD WORK IS NOT ALWAYS VISIBLE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS IMPACTFUL.

BECAUSE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP AND STEWARDSHIP, CARROLL ISD HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL PAY INCREASES TO OUR STAFF, INCLUDING A $2,000 STIPEND BONUS THIS YEAR. WE ALSO LOWERED THE TAX RATE AND YOU CONTINUED TO PAY DOWN DISTRICT DEBT, HELPING US ACHIEVE A HIGHER DISTRICT FINANCIAL RATING.

OUR TRUSTEES REGULARLY ATTEND CAMPUS EVENTS, COMPETITION PERFORMANCES, AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO,

[01:00:08]

SO ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS, THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GENEROUS WORK YOU DO.

WE APPRECIATE YOU GIVING YOUR TIME AND YOUR TALENT TO OUR DISTRICT.

MR. PRESIDENT, THAT'S YOUR REPORT. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO BE APPRECIATED. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE, WHICH IS THE INFORMATION PORTION OF OUR AGENDA.

9.1 CONSIDER A LOCAL BOARD POLICY CHANGES. MR.

[9. INFORMATION]

THESE ARE ALL AGAIN IN RESPONSE TO 89TH LEGISLATURE.

AND MORE INFORMATION IS IN YOUR BOARD BOOK AND IN THE ATTACHMENTS.

BUT I'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH THESE AND HIT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THIS IS A LIST OF THE BILLS THAT IMPACT ALL OF THESE POLICIES THAT THAT WILL BE PRESENTING TONIGHT.

THE FIRST ONE BEING BBE LOCAL BOARD MEMBER AUTHORITY.

THE CHANGES TO THIS REQUIRE BOARD MEMBERS THAT IF BOARD MEMBERS REQUEST PIRS THAT THEY BE FULFILLED PROMPTLY AND AT NO COST.

THE REVISIONS ALSO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR HANDLING BOARD MEMBER REQUESTS THAT HAVE ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED.

CH LOCAL REGARDING PURCHASING AND ACQUISITION.

THIS LEGISLATION PERMITS, BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE FOR US TO INCREASE THE SUPERINTENDENT SPENDING AUTHORITY TO $100,000.

EACH DISTRICT HAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO ADOPT THIS INCREASE, AND DISTRICTS THAT HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS CAN DISREGARD THE PROVISIONS.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S 25? 50. 50 OKAY. THANK YOU. CKC LOCAL.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH WITH SAFETY AND EMERGENCY PLANS.

SAYS THE CHANGES TO CKC LOCAL NOW REQUIRE THAT THE DISTRICT'S EMERGENCY PLAN INCLUDE PROVISIONS TO ENSURE SAFETY FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND SPECTATORS DURING DISTRICT SPONSORED EVENTS AND EXTRACURRICULARS.

SEEK LOCAL IT SAYS CHANGES TO CKE LOCAL AD PROCESS BY WHICH THE BOARD MAY AUTHORIZE THE USE OF RESERVE POLICE OFFICERS. AND SO IT JUST EXPLAINS THE LIMITATIONS AND PROCESS BY WHICH YOU WOULD EMPLOY THEM IF YOU WERE IN THE NEED TO DO SO.

CL LOCAL BUILDINGS, GROUNDS, EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT THIS HAS TO DO WITH SENATE BILL EIGHT IN THE BATHROOM BILL.

IT TALKS ABOUT ALL OF THE PROCEDURES THAT HAVE TO BE PUT IN PLACE, THE SIGNAGE THAT NEEDS TO GO IN PLACE AND THE EXCEPTIONS THAT THE IMPACT OF THIS FOR IF YOU HAVE YOUNG STUDENTS OR MAINTENANCE CLEANING THINGS LIKE THAT.

ALSO IN THE ATTACHMENTS, I INCLUDED THE SIGNAGE THAT WE'VE PROPOSED THAT WE WENT AND RESEARCHED SEVERAL DISTRICTS TO SEE THE SIGNAGE THAT THEY'RE USING AND TRIED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WAS SIMILAR THAT FIT WHAT WE NEEDED.

MR. NICKEL I THINK THERE WAS SOME. DO YOU WANT ME TO WAIT? YEAH. GO AHEAD. NO.

I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT THIS WAS.

I HEARD SOME RUMBLINGS OF, LIKE, THEY'RE TURNING LOCKER ROOMS INTO CLASSROOMS. SO CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN, LIKE A COACH'S SITUATION? LIKE A GIRLS VOLLEYBALL, ALL OF THAT? YEAH. THANK YOU.

WE DO HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE WE MAY HAVE A MALE COACH FOR A, SAY, A FEMALE BASKETBALL TEAM WHERE THERE ARE TIMES AT A DURING A GAME OR MAYBE BEFORE OR AFTER PRACTICE WHERE THAT MAY BE A MEETING SPACE WHERE THEY NEED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING.

OR MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THEY LOOK AT FILM. OR CERTAINLY THE EASIEST THING WOULD BE HALFTIME OF A GAME PRE-GAME.

THAT IS WHERE IT'S DESIGNATED, WHERE TEAMS MEET.

AND SO BASED ON SENATE BILL EIGHT, IF YOU HAD A A MALE OR A FEMALE COACH OVER THE OPPOSITE GENDER TEAM, THEY WOULD HAVE NO ABILITY TO GO IN AND SEE THEIR TEAM.

AND SO THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE AND THE SIGNAGE REQUIRED IS THAT IS, THOSE ARE THE EXCEPTIONS BY WHICH WE WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER ENTER THOSE SPACES.

THE, THE BILL SAYS THAT THOSE ARE SINGLE SEX SPACES AND THAT NOBODY ELSE SHOULD BE ENTERING IT EXCEPT UNDER THESE, YOU KNOW, PROVISIONS AND SIGN ON THE DOOR. AND I'LL ELABORATE ON THAT.

YOU KNOW, THE BILL IS SUPER WELL INTENDED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPROPRIATE GENDER IS ENTERING THE LOCKER ROOMS. THE MOST EXACT EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE YOU IS THAT COACH COLVIN IS OUR GIRL SOCCER COACH, AND WHEN THEY PLAY AT DRAGON STADIUM, OBVIOUSLY OUR GIRLS ARE GOING TO USE THE LOCKER ROOMS AT DRAGON STADIUM, BUT AT HALFTIME, HE'S GOING TO GO IN THERE AND GIVE THEM THAT MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE SECOND HALF.

[01:05:01]

[LAUGHTER] AND SO AS HE GOES IN THERE AND HAS THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

AND SO THIS ALLOWS HIM TO DO SO. THIS WOULD EVEN APPLY TO TO MAINTENANCE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING BROKEN IN THERE.

AND THAT IS YOU KNOW, THE BELLS LOCKER ROOM OR SOMETHING A MALE MAINTENANCE WORKER COULD NOT GO IN THERE AND WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE EXCEPTIONS IN PLACE AND YOU PUT SIGNAGE UP.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE REASONS BEHIND THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. DGC LOCAL EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IMMUNITY.

IT SAYS IT'S OUTLINED CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH A PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE IS IMMUNE FROM DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH LIKE WHISTLEBLOWER TYPE THINGS.

IF THEY REPORT SOMETHING OR IF THEY'RE TRYING TO REMOVE A STUDENT.

UNDER YOU KNOW, POLICY, THEY FOLLOW POLICY TO TRY TO GET A STUDENT OUT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO RECOURSE ON THAT EMPLOYEE.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE IMMUNE FROM ANY SORT OF DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS.

EIA LOCAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GRADING PROGRESS REPORTS.

IT SAYS THE CHANGES TO EIA ADD NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERIM REPORTS WHEN A STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE IS UNSATISFACTORY.

PARENTS ARE NOW TO BE OFFERED TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES, AND PROGRESS REPORTS MUST REQUIRE A PARENT SIGNATURE AT LEAST EVERY 12 WEEKS.

FFAC LOCAL HAVING TO DO WITH WELLNESS AND HEALTH SERVICES.

THE CHANGES TO THIS EXPAND WHO MAY GRANT PERMISSION FOR A STUDENT TO RECEIVE NON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AT SCHOOL, INCLUDING A LEGAL GUARDIAN, AND REQUIRE THAT ALL DOSING BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONTAINER'S LABELING? FFB LOCAL STUDENT WELFARE CRISIS INTERVENTION.

THESE CHANGES ADD REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE TYPES OF PROFESSIONALS WHO MUST SERVE ON A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL TEAM, AND OUTLINE THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH A TEAM MAY SERVE MORE THAN ONE CAMPUS.

THE TEAM IS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR WHEN PARENTS MUST BE CONTACTED, AND NEW GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED FOR CONDUCTING THREAT ASSESSMENTS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES. FFG LOCAL. THIS IS SAYS THE CHANGES FOR FFG LOCAL IDENTIFY SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND IMPROPER STUDENT TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS EXPLICITLY REPORTABLE AND IT CHANGES THE REPORTING TIMELINE FROM 48 HOURS TO 24 HOURS AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE ALLEGATION. IT ALSO GOES INTO THE LIABILITY IF SOMEBODY FAILS TO REPORT.

THAT IS ALL. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. NICKEL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISTER NICKEL? NO.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TEN, DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF OUR MEETING.

10.1 CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

[10. DISCUSSION/ACTION]

I'M PROUD TO READ THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION OF THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES, RECOGNIZING THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WHEREAS ON JULY 4TH, 2026, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL COMMEMORATE THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING.

CELEBRATING THE SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE BIRTH OF THE GREATEST CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.

AND WHEREAS THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT PROUDLY HONORS THE LEGACY OF OUR FOUNDERS WHOSE COMMITMENT TO LIBERTY, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, LIMITED GOVERNMENT, AND THE GOD GIVEN RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE HAS GUIDED THIS NATION FOR TWO AND A HALF CENTURIES. AND WHEREAS CARROLL ISD HAS LONG REFLECTED DID THESE SAME VALUES BY CULTIVATING INFORMED, ENGAGED AND RESPONSIBLE YOUNG CITIZENS WHO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY, CIVIC VIRTUE, AND PATRIOTIC SERVICE. AND WHEREAS, CARROLL ISD HAS CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS, AND FINE ARTS, EARNING STATEWIDE AND NATIONAL RECOGNITION, INCLUDING THE MOST UNIVERSITY INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE LONE STAR CUPS OF ANY 6A SCHOOL DISTRICT IN TEXAS.

A TESTAMENT TO THE BALANCED STRENGTH OF CARROLL STUDENTS AND ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACHIEVEMENTS.

REPEATED DISTINCTION AS ONE OF THE TOP PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TEXAS WITH HIGH GRADUATION GRADUATION RATES, RIGOROUS ADVANCED PLACEMENT PARTICIPATION, AND COMPETITIVE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. WIDELY RECOGNIZED FINE ARTS PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BAND, CHOIR, THEATER, AND VISUAL ARTS THAT ARE OFTEN EARNED TOP HONORS AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS. ATHLETIC PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BROUGHT PRIDE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH MULTIPLE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, NATIONAL RANKINGS, AND A CULTURE OF DISCIPLINE, TEAMWORK, AND SPORTSMANSHIP.

AND WHEREAS CARROLL ISD HAS A LONG TRADITION OF HONORING AMERICAN VETERANS, ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, AND FIRST RESPONDERS THROUGH DISTRICT WIDE EVENTS, CAMPUS CEREMONIES, STUDENT SERVICE PROJECTS,

[01:10:02]

AND WHEREAS THE CARROLL COMMUNITY, INCLUDING STUDENTS, PARENTS, EDUCATORS, ALUMNI AND RESIDENTS, HAS CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR AMERICA'S HERITAGE, ITS CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, AND THE PRINCIPLES THAT ENSURE OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

AND WHEREAS, AS THE NATION CELEBRATES 250 YEARS OF FREEDOM, CARROLL ISD RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF RENEWING OUR COMMITMENT TO AMERICAN CIVIC EDUCATION, STRENGTHENING UNITY AND PATRIOTISM, AND PREPARING OUR STUDENTS TO BE THOUGHTFUL LEADERS WHO UPHOLD THE IDEALS THAT HAVE SUSTAINED THE UNITED STATES. NOW, THEREFORE, MAY IT BE RESOLVED THAT THE CARROLL ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES PROUDLY COMMEMORATES THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND CALLS UPON ALL CAMPUSES, STUDENTS, STAFF, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO JOIN IN HONORING THIS HISTORIC MILESTONE.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT CARROLL ISD REMAINS STEADFAST IN ITS DEDICATION TO FOSTERING PATRIOTISM, PRESERVING AMERICA'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLES, AND ENSURING THAT THE NEXT GENERATION UNDERSTANDS THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH CITIZENSHIP IN A FREE NATION.

AND MAY IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE ENTERED INTO THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF CARROLL ISD AND SHARED PUBLICLY IN RECOGNITION OF OUR DISTRICT'S CONTINUING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, SERVICE, AND THE ENDURING PROMISE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

ADOPTED ON THE SECOND DAY OF FEBRUARY 2026 BY THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER, I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE RECOGNIZING THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU JUST READ THROUGH OUR RESOLUTION.

SO I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. DR. GLENN, CAN YOU TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE THE SIGNAGE THAT WE HAVE PREPARED AND WHERE THAT'S GOING TO GO ON THE CAMPUSES AND SO FORTH? THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. TRUSTEES, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR MONTHS, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE IT OFFICIALLY APPROVED TONIGHT.

AND YES, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE USA 250 SIGNAGE ACROSS ALL OF THE THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO TONIGHT, IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, NOT ONLY DO YOU SEE THE BANNER WHICH IS IN FRONT OF OUR BOARD DAIS, BUT ALSO YOU'LL SEE A LOGO ON OUR VIDEO. SO IF YOU GO BACK AND WATCH TONIGHT'S MEETING AND ALL MEETINGS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE USA 250 LOGO. IN ADDITION TO THAT, AT DRAGON STADIUM, IN OUR GYMNASIUMS, AT OUR BASEBALL FIELD, OUR SOFTBALL FIELD YOU'LL ALSO SEE SIGNAGE PUT UP PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

WE SHOULD HAVE ALL THE SIGNAGE UP AT ALL OF OUR MAJOR VENUES WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS NOT JUST IN CARROLL, BUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE METROPLEX COME AND THEY SEE OUR STUDENTS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE UPCOMING PATRIOT GAMES THAT ARE BEING PUT OUT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND, AND HIS ADMINISTRATION. AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO LET OUR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES COMPETE IN THAT AGAINST OTHER HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES FROM ACROSS THE NATION.

YEAH, THAT'D BE SUPER EXCITING. DOCTOR GLENN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER? OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU TRUSTEES.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 10.2, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION REGARDING PAYMENT OF WAGES FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER EMERGENCY CLOSURE.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. YES, SIR. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, IT IS MY HONOR TO READ THIS RESOLUTION. WHEREAS THE RECENT INCLEMENT WEATHER RESULTED IN THE CLOSURE OF ALL SCHOOLS AND FACILITIES IN THE CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ON JANUARY 26TH, 27TH, AND 28TH, 2026, DUE TO DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS AND FOR THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

WHEREAS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE INSTRUCTED NOT TO REPORT TO WORK MAY SUFFER A LOSS OF PAY UNLESS THE WORK DAYS ARE MADE UP AT A LATER DATE, THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT CONTINUING WAGE PAYMENTS TO ALL EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTUAL AND NON-CONTRACTUAL, SALARIED AND NON-SALARIED DURING THE EMERGENCY CLOSING CAUSED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER SERVES THE PUBLIC PURPOSES OF MAINTAINING MORALE, REDUCING TURNOVER, AND ENSURING CONTINUITY OF DISTRICT STAFFING WHEN SCHOOL REOPENS.

NOW, THEREFORE, MAY IT BE RESOLVED BY THE BOARD THAT ONE ALL OF THE ABOVE REFERENCED PARAGRAPHS ARE INCORPORATED INTO AND MADE PART OF THIS RESOLUTION, AND TWO THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT THE DISTRICT WILL NOT REQUIRE EMPLOYEES TO MAKE UP WORKDAYS MISSED DUE TO CLOSURE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES OR OPERATIONS AS A RESULT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER ON 1-26, 1-27, AND 1-28 AND THE BOARD.

[01:15:05]

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DO FOR OUR STAFF AND FACULTY.

THESE ARE THE LITTLE THINGS. WE WOULD NEVER THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THE WEATHER PLAYED A ROLE, THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET PAID. SO IF THERE WAS ANY QUESTION ABOUT IT, WE WE APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR STAFF AND EMPLOYEES.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN, FOR PUTTING THAT FORWARD. ABSOLUTELY. AND AGAIN, TRUSTEES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS. IT'S SUPER BENEFICIAL, ESPECIALLY TO OUR HOURLY EMPLOYEES WHO OBVIOUSLY CAN'T GET THOSE HOURS IN WHENEVER WE CALL SCHOOL AND THEY CAN'T COME UP HERE.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES. MOVING ON TO ITEM 10.3, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE TEA WAIVER.

MISSED SCHOOL DAY WAIVER MR. NICKEL? YES. AGAIN, DUE TO THE CLOSURE FOR JANUARY 26TH, 27TH AND 28TH WE ARE WANTING TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER FOR THE MISSED DAY.

TO DO THIS, THERE'S A FEW REQUIREMENTS. THE STATE SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE 75,600 MINUTES BUILT INTO OUR CALENDAR.

WE HAVE THAT. PLUS WE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS OF MINUTES THAT ARE BANKED.

THE STATE REQUIRES THAT YOU EITHER HAVE THOSE TWO DAYS BANKED IN MINUTES, THAT YOU GO OVER THE 75,600, OR YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO BUILT IN WEATHER DAYS THAT YOU BURN THROUGH.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO BOTH OF THOSE, BUT WE DO HAVE THE MINUTES BANKED.

IF YOU DO THAT, YOU THEN CAN APPLY FOR THIS WAIVER TO FOR ANYTHING ABOVE THE TWO DAYS.

MR. NICKEL, ARE WE APPLYING FOR THE WAIVER FOR ALL THREE DAYS, OR ARE WE APPLYING OUR MINUTES THAT WE'VE ALREADY BANKED AND THEN ONLY APPLYING FOR A WAIVER FOR THE WEDNESDAY? IT'LL BE FOR THE EXTRA DAY FOR THE WEDNESDAY.

JUST FOR THE EXTRA DAY. OKAY. AND SO THAT LEAVES US WITH NO EXTRA DAYS IN CASE WE HAVE INCLEMENT WEATHER BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF SCHOOL. RIGHT? WE WOULD EITHER HAVE THE ABILITY TO WE HAVE THE BUILT IN WEATHER DAYS THAT ARE ON THE CALENDAR OR AGAIN, ANYTHING BEYOND TWO DAYS, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER. THE STATE ONLY REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE TWO DAYS BUILT IN.

YEP. GOTCHA. I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVED THE MISSED SCHOOL WAIVER DAY AND APPROVAL ASKING SEEKING APPROVAL OF IT FROM TEA WAIVER.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION. AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU, MR. NICKEL.

UP NEXT IS ITEM 10.4. CONSIDER APPROVAL HKS, INC.

TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE ENCLOSURE OF THE EAST MARKETING DECK AT DRAGON STADIUM.

MR. MOONEY. PRESIDENT BRYAN, DOCTOR GLENN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES I'M ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF HKS, INC. TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE ENCLOSURE OF THE EAST MARKETING DECK FOR DRAGON STADIUM.

THIS IS A VERY LOW COST JUST A FORMALITY FOR GETTING A ARCHITECTURAL SERVICE THAT THAT WE CAN WORK WITH ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

SO. YEAH. AND JUST JUST REAL QUICK TO PIGGYBACK, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN PUBLIC COMMENT.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NOT A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE MARKETING DECK YET, BECAUSE THE FIRST STEP IN THE WHOLE PROCESS IS TO ACTUALLY FIND OUT FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT WHAT IS FEASIBLE. ADDITIONALLY, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DRAGON STADIUM IS IN THE TIF ZONE.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE BOARD APPROVED $2.2 MILLION IN TIF ZONE FUNDING AT DAWSON, EUBANKS AND OLD UNION.

SO QUITE A BIT OF MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT ON THOSE CAMPUSES ALREADY.

WE'RE ALSO ALLOWED UNDER THE TIF AGREEMENT TO SPEND SOME FUNDS AT DRAGON STADIUM.

WE DO HAVE SOME ADA ISSUES THAT WE WANT TO ADDRESS WITH THE MARKETING DECK IN ADDITION TO THAT.

WE KNOW THAT DRAGON STADIUM IS A REVENUE GENERATOR FOR US, SO IT'S CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE FACILITIES.

WE DON'T WANT TO GO OUT TO TAXPAYERS AND ASK FOR BONDS ON.

SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO USE SOME OF OUR TIF DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT STADIUM IT JUST MAKES GOOD FINANCIAL SENSE.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, SOMETHING THAT'S NOT MENTIONED TONIGHT, BUT IT CAME UP LAST WEEK AS IT RELATES TO DRAGON STADIUM, IS THERE WAS A WATER MAIN FOR AS PART OF THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND THE ELEVATOR SHAFT THAT BROKE IT FROZE AND THEN BROKE AND FLOODED THE ENTIRE

[01:20:07]

BUT WE ARE GOING TO AT SOME POINT HAVE TO COME BACK AND EXPEDITE THAT REQUEST.

WE'LL BE REACHING OUT TO THE CITY TO SEE IF WE CAN GET AN ADVANCE ON OUR TIF DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THAT ENTIRE ELEVATOR SHAFT WHICH FLOODED OVER THE BREAK.

THANK YOU, DR. GLENN, FOR THAT EXPLANATION. ANY OTHER COMMENT? I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. OKAY. SO TRUSTEE BOTTOM. JUST KIND OF WANT TO KNOW THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST. TONIGHT'S THE FIRST NIGHT THAT I'M SEEING THIS. SO THE WHY BEHIND IT IS TO CLOSE OFF THAT DECK SO THAT WE CAN THEN RENT IT OUT AND IT TURNS INTO A REVENUE GENERATOR FOR THE STADIUM.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND AGAIN, ALL WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, WE'RE NOT ASKING TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE PROJECT.

ALL WE'RE DOING TONIGHT IS TRYING TO GET APPROVAL ON AN ARCHITECT THAT COULD COME IN AND LOOK AT, LIKE, THE ENGINEERING THAT WOULD GO BEHIND IT AND COME UP WITH SOME PLANS SO WE CAN GO OUT FOR BID ON IT.

BUT I THINK TWOFOLD. ONE, THE REVENUE PIECE. AND TWO, WE ALSO KNOW THAT FROM AN ADA STANDPOINT, AS WE GO INTO THAT AREA, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLIANT.

WHEN WE ENCLOSE IT ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S STRUCTURALLY SOUND, AND NOT SAYING THAT IT'S NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND AS IT IS.

BUT WHEN WE ADD LOAD TO IT, THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUES.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT. AND I BELIEVE OUR POLICY SAYS ANY, ANY PROJECT THAT'S OVER $8,000 IN VALUE REQUIRES AN ENGINEERING STAMP.

AND THIS WOULD EXCEED THAT. SO WE'RE APPROVING THIS PARTICULAR VENDOR RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE GOING TO BID THEN DO WE OPEN IT UP TO OTHER BIDS OR HOW DOES THAT PROCESS.

NO. WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL ACTUALLY THEY'LL ACTUALLY GO OUT AND THEY'LL LOOK AT THE MARKETING DECK AND THEY'LL COME UP WITH A DESIGN FOR IT.

WE'LL TAKE THOSE, WE'LL PAY FOR THOSE PLANS AND, AND THEN THOSE PLANS WITH BOARD APPROVAL, WE WOULD GO OUT FOR BID AND, THEN THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE A BID TO BE ABLE TO SPEND TIF DOLLARS TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE HKS INC TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE ENCLOSURE OF THE EAST MARKETING DECK AT DRAGON STADIUM AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. YEAH. ALL IN FAVOR? CARRIED 6 TO 0. JUST.

JUST AS A REMINDER AND A CLARIFICATION TO TRUSTEE BOTTOMS QUESTION.

LIKE WE WON'T BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT UNTIL WE COME BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH A PRICE.

AND WE'LL SAY, HERE'S THE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROJECT. AND THEN YOU WOULD FORMALLY APPROVE MOVING FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION AT THAT TIME. OKAY. SO WE DON'T THINK IT'LL BE SUPER EXPENSIVE, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT'S STRUCTURAL THAT WE HAVE AN ARCHITECT TO CALL. THIS PARTICULAR PIECE WOULD BE VERY INEXPENSIVE, PROBABLY LESS THAN $20,000. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE'LL PUT DEPENDS ON PROBABLY THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN, WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST. BUT I'M NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF MONEY LIKE I USED FOR TIF MONEY LAST YEAR.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A VERY LOW COST. THANK YOU, MR. MOONEY. YES. OKAY. UP NEXT IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DONATIONS, TRUSTEE YEAGER. WE DO.

AND AS EVERY TRUSTEE HERE SAYS, REPEATEDLY, REPEATEDLY, AND AS WE SHOULD, WE WOULD NOT HAVE AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WITHOUT THE WONDERFUL

[11. CONSENT AGENDA ]
