          WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE OUR VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN. 
          MISS LEWIS. YOU'RE UP. 
          GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN. PRESIDENT BRYANT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          IT IS TRULY AN HONOR TO RECOGNIZE TWO EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS WHO REPRESENT THE VERY BEST OF
OUR CAMPUS. 
          OUR VALEDICTORIAN, AKHIL SANAPALA VENKATA, AND OUR SALUTATORIAN,
WILLIAM TIAN ZHANG [APPLAUSE]. 
          THROUGHOUT HIS HIGH SCHOOL CAREER, AKHIL HAS PURSUED THE MOST RIGOROUS COURSEWORK
AVAILABLE, EXCELLING IN ADVANCED STEM CLASSES WHILE MAINTAINING THE TOP ACADEMIC RANKING IN HIS
CLASS. 
          HIS PASSION FOR LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM THROUGH ADVANCED RESEARCH AT THE
INTERSECTION OF COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, APPLIED MATHEMATICS, AND MACHINE LEARNING. AS A RESEARCH INTERN AT TCU,
HE HAS DEVELOPED MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELS TO 
          [00:10:10]
EVALUATE ANTIVIRAL DRUG EFFICACY. JUST AS IMPORTANTLY,
AKHIL IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SERVICE AND TO ADVANCING BIOTECHNOLOGY IN WAYS THAT PROMOTE EQUITY AND EXPAND ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING CARE. 
          WILLIAM ZHANG, OUR SALUTATORIAN, HAS DEMONSTRATED OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AS A
NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST WITH A STRONG FOCUS IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND MATHEMATICS THROUGH THE CARROLL MEDICAL ACADEMY AND ADVANCED COURSEWORK
BEYOND ACADEMICS. 
          HE HAS SHOWN EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS CAPTAIN OF THE CARROLL DRAGONS MEN'S SWIMMING AND
DIVING TEAM, COMPETING AT BOTH WINTER AND SUMMER JUNIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. 
          HIS DEDICATION, DISCIPLINE AND PERSEVERANCE ARE EVIDENT IN ALL THAT HE DOES. 
          WILLIAM PLANS TO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN,
WHERE HE WILL MAJOR IN BIOCHEMISTRY. 
          TOGETHER, THESE STUDENTS EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE,
LEADERSHIP, AND PURPOSE. 
          WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THEM AND GRATEFUL TO THE FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS WHO HAVE
SUPPORTED THEM ALONG THE WAY. 
          AT THIS TIME, IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO PRESENT OUR VALEDICTORIAN,
AKHIL SANAPALA VENKATA, AND OUR SALUTATORIAN, WILLIAM ZHANG. CONGRATULATIONS [APPLAUSE]. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT AGAIN. CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS. I GUESS BEING NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO AND THE
NUMBER ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS MEANS YOU'RE NUMBER ONE. 
          AND NUMBER TWO IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, RIGHT? [APPLAUSE] LET'S GO,
LET'S GO. 
          ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 4.4. AND WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO THE INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE
PRESS CONFERENCE TEXAS YEARBOOK EDITORS OF THE YEAR. 
          GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. I AM HAPPY TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR ILPC YEARBOOK EDITORS OF THE
YEAR, CAILYN CASHON AND JACKIE SCHULTZ. THESE TWO LADIES WERE CHOSEN BY A PANEL,
AND THEY RAN AGAINST YEARBOOK EDITORS FROM ALL ACROSS THE STATE. 
          AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, I REALLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT THEM. 
          SO I'M GOING TO READ JUST A LITTLE BIT FROM THE LETTER THAT I SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE. 
          LET'S SEE. I'M SKIPPING SOME OF IT. OKAY. I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT FIRST ABOUT CAILYN. 
          CAILYN'S PASSION FOR MEDIA BEGAN LONG BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL,
AS SHE HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY EVENTS SINCE THE SEVENTH GRADE. 
          FROM THE MOMENT SHE JOINED THE DRAGON STAFF AS A FRESHMAN,
SHE MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT, DEMONSTRATING BOTH CREATIVE VISION AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. 
          SO MUCH SO THAT SHE WAS PROMOTED TO AN EDITORIAL POSITION AS A SOPHOMORE. 
          OVER HER FOUR YEARS IN THE PROGRAM, SHE HAS SERVED AS AN EDITOR FOR THREE OF THOSE YEARS,
SHOWING CONSISTENT LEADERSHIP, MATURITY AND PROFESSIONALISM. SHE HAS HANDLED COUNTLESS CHALLENGES,
FROM TIGHT DEADLINES TO STAFF CONFLICTS AND LAST MINUTE COVERAGE CHANGES WITH COMPOSURE AND FAIRNESS. SHE HAS LEARNED HOW TO LISTEN CAREFULLY,
COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS WHEN NECESSARY, EARNING THE TRUST AND RESPECT OF HER ENTIRE TEAM. 
          JACKIE JOINED OUR STAFF AS A SOPHOMORE AND IMMEDIATELY STOOD OUT NOT JUST FOR HER TALENT,
BUT FOR HER HEART, SHE HAS AN INCREDIBLE COMBINATION OF CREATIVITY,
INTELLIGENCE, AND COMPASSION THAT IS RARE IN SOMEONE HER AGE. 
          SHE IS A CONFIDENT, CAPABLE LEADER WHO GUIDES THE STAFF WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND
REMARKABLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. 
          SHE LEADS BY EXAMPLE, EARNING THE RESPECT OF HER PEERS THROUGH HER KINDNESS,
POISE UNDER PRESSURE AND HER UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES. 
          SHE HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL EYE FOR VISUAL STORYTELLING AND A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF HOW IMAGES
AND WORDS CAN WORK TOGETHER TO TELL MEANINGFUL STORIES. 
          [00:15:03]
UNDER THEIR DIRECTION, OUR PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL,
OUR COVERAGE IS DIVERSE, AND OUR DEADLINES ARE MET. 
          BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OF THAT, OUR STAFF IS A TRUE TEAM. 
          ALL 29 OF THE STUDENTS IN YEARBOOK, LIKE EACH OTHER,
TRULY LIKE EACH OTHER. 
          THEY ARE HELPFUL AND KIND AND ENCOURAGING. AND THEY ARE THIS WAY BECAUSE THEY ARE LED,
SORRY, BY JACKIE AND CAILYN'S EXAMPLE. AS AN ADVISOR,
I HAVE MANY FAULTS. 
          I DO NOT ALWAYS SEE THE WAYS IN WHICH MY STUDENTS ARE STRUGGLING. 
          I MISS THE SIGNS OF DISCONNECT BETWEEN MY STAFF,
BUT CAILYN AND JACKIE DO NOT. 
          THEY SAW IT IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS, A NEED THAT WAS NOT BEING MET,
AND THEY FILLED IT BECAUSE THEY CARE THAT THE STAFF IS HAPPY, THE STAFF IS PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE OPEN AND AVAILABLE. 
          THEIR STAFF IS NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP. THEY DO NOT DICTATE WITH LOUD VOICES AND A FIRM
FIST. 
          THEY LEAD WITH AN OPEN HEART AND HELPFUL HANDS. 
          IN THE TIME I HAVE KNOWN THESE TWO LADIES, THEY HAVE GROWN IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. 
          BOTH YOUNG WOMEN ARE THE MOST TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHERS I'VE EVER HAD ON STAFF. THEIR PHOTOS
CONSISTENTLY CAPTURE EMOTION, ENERGY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF CAROLL. THEIR DESIGN, WORK AND STORYTELLING HAVE SET A HIGH STANDARD FOR CREATIVITY AND QUALITY THAT CONTINUES
TO INSPIRE EVERYONE AROUND THEM. 
          THEIR INTEGRITY, RELIABILITY, AND CREATIVITY MAKE THEM A JOY TO WORK WITH. 
          THEY LEAD WITH EMPATHY, MOTIVATE BY EXAMPLE,
AND BRING OUT THE BEST IN THOSE AROUND THEM. 
          THEY ARE SMARTER, KINDER, MORE MOTIVATED, MORE CONFIDENT,
MORE CAPABLE THAN AND MORE ADULT THAN MOST ADULTS I KNOW. 
          THEY HAVE BOTH LEFT AN ENDURING MARK ON OUR PROGRAM ON ME DURING THEIR TIME IN DRAGON
MEDIA. 
          I FEEL CERTAIN THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER PAIR LIKE THEM. WOW. 
          CONGRATULATIONS [APPLAUSE]. 
          THANKS. 
          [INAUDIBLE] HOW FANTASTIC [INAUDIBLE]. 
          OKAY. ONE MORE. 
          OH, I LOVE THAT. SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I TRIED SO MANY TIMES. 
          THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. 
          OKAY. OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          [5. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
THERE ARE FOUR SPEAKERS SIGNED UP TONIGHT, SO WE'LL GIVE EACH SPEAKER THREE MINUTES. 
          MISS YELTON, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER? THE FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS TIM
SCHUTZ. 
          GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR GLENN. 
          MY NAME IS TIM SCHUTZ, CISD RESIDENT FOREVER KIND OF. 
          AND I AM SO EXCITED TO BE BACK HERE TO TALK ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOPICS. 
          JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE HERE. TEXAS BILL 1481 PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE EFFECTIVE JUNE
20TH 25, MANDATES THAT EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT ADOPTS AND IMPLEMENTS A WRITTEN POLICY THAT PROHIBITS
STUDENTS FROM USING PERSONAL DEVICES ON SCHOOL PROPERTY DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. 
          I WANT TO FOCUS ON FOUR SPECIFIC POINTS. THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO OUR SCHOOL PROPERTY
INCLUDES LAND BUILDING FACILITIES, INCLUDING AND CONTROLLED BY THE DISTRICT, BUT THEN SAYS SCHOOL BUSSES ARE NOT PROPERTY
UNLESS EXPLICITLY STATED. 
          [00:20:06]
NOW, I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THE ONE MADE ME SMILE A LITTLE BECAUSE THE
DISTRICT OWNS, MAINTAINS BUSSES, FUELS THE BUSSES, ENSURES THE BUSSES,
ASSIGNS ROUTES. 
          ASSIGNS DRIVERS, DISCIPLINE STUDENTS ON BUSSES. 
          IT'S HARD FOR AN ORDINARY CITIZEN TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CANNOT BE SCHOOL PROPERTY. 
          I FEEL LIKE WE'RE PLAYING WORD GAMES AND THE STATE LAW WITH THE STATE LAW. 
          THAT'S MEANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. SECOND ENFORCEMENT. 
          WE HAVE CAMERAS ON ALL BUSSES. THEY CAN BE REVIEWED AFTER THE FACT. 
          ENFORCEMENT IS A MATTER OF CHOICE. THIRD, USING PHONES ON SHUTTLES IS AN IDEAL FREE ZONE
DAY IF STUDENTS CAN USE CANNOT USE THEIR PHONES IN THE BUILDING,
BUT THEY CAN USE THEM ON THE SHUTTLE BUSSES BETWEEN CAMPUSES. 
          THEN YOU HAVEN'T REALLY CREATED A PHONE FREE DAY. 
          WE'VE CREATED A LOOPHOLE AND IT'S NOT A SMALL LOOPHOLE. 
          SHUTTLE BUSSES PROVIDE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS TO REENGAGE ON WHAT WE'RE
EXACTLY TRYING TO HAVE THEM NOT DO FOR THE SCHOOL DAY. 
          FOURTH, TRANSPORTATION FINANCES, I BELIEVE, AS PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THIS CHANGE,
WE'LL HAVE FEWER PEOPLE RIDING BUSSES, AND WE'LL HAVE OTHER PEOPLE MAYBE TALK TONIGHT ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO THEIR CHILDREN. 
          AND AS I CLOSE, GOVERNOR ABBOTT SAID HOUSE BILL 1481 IS INTENDED TO HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED
FREE FROM DISTRACTIONS. RESEARCH CITED DURING THE PROCESS POINTED TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF
CONSTANT CELL PHONE USE. 
          SOCIAL MEDIA, GAMING, MESSAGING, ADULT CONTENT ALL IMPACT THEIR LEARNING AND THEIR MENTAL
HEALTH. 
          SO MY FINAL REQUEST IS SIMPLY DO NOT WEAKEN THE LAW. 
          DON'T CAVE TO THE EXCEPTIONS THAT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE. 
          STAND UP FOR THE STUDENT FOCUS, SAFETY AND DISCIPLINE ON CAMPUS AND ON OUR BUSSES. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. SCHUTZ. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ALEXIS LANCE. 
          GOOD EVENING. I WANT TO START WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION. 
          IS FIRE HELPFUL OR HARMFUL? THE ANSWER IS IT'S BOTH. 
          WE RELY ON IT, BUT WE ALSO RESPECT ITS RISK. WE DON'T HAND IT TO CHILDREN WITHOUT LIMITS
AND SUPERVISION. 
          AND JUST AS I'M NOT ANTI FIRE, I'M NOT ANTI-TECHNOLOGY. 
          IT'S A POWERFUL TOOL. BUT POWERFUL TOOLS REQUIRE STRUCTURE,
ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR KIDS ARE INVOLVED. 
          THE REASON THAT THIS BOARD RESTRICTED PHONES LAST YEAR HAVE NOT CHANGED. 
          OUR CONCERNS HAVE NOT CHANGED. I GET IT. IT GETS WEARISOME CONTINUING TO FIGHT THE FIGHT. 
          I FELT IT EVEN TODAY. BUT. AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING,
WE WERE TOLD THAT DRIVERS CANNOT MONITOR STUDENT PHONE USE. 
          WE WERE ALSO TOLD THEY WILL STILL MONITOR BULLYING AND HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE
CONDUCT ON THOSE PHONES, WHICH TO ME DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A SOLUTION, BUT RATHER A CONTRADICTION. 
          BECAUSE IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO MONITOR THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE PHONE OR TELL THEM TO PUT
IT AWAY, THEN HOW WILL THEY MONITOR WHAT'S BEING DONE ON THE PHONE,
WHICH IS EXCEEDINGLY HARDER? I ALSO WANT TO CONNECT THIS IS SOMETHING WE ALL AGREE ON,
WHICH IS PROTECTING OUR KIDS FROM INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT, WHICH WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME DEBATING WHAT WHICH BOOKS SHOULD BE OR SHOULD NOT BE IN
OUR LIBRARY, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE IN OUR CURRICULUM. WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS EXPOSED TO INAPPROPRIATE
CONTENT AT SCHOOL. 
          WELL, TONIGHT I'M ASKING YOU TO APPLY THAT VERY SAME STANDARD TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL DAY,
TO THE BUS RIDE TO AND FROM SCHOOL THIS MORNING. 
          I WAS SITTING AT MY KITCHEN TABLE AND TO VERIFY MY INSTINCTS,
I DID A SIMPLE TWO WORD, TWO SECOND SEARCH ON YOUTUBE. 
          HONESTLY, I WAS SHOCKED. I THE CONTENT THAT I PULLED UP WAS EXPLICIT,
DISGUSTING. 
          CONSIDERED PRINTING SOME OF THE SCREENSHOTS OUT,
BUT FIGURED THAT WOULD BE BAD FORM. 
          BUT STILL, IT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT ON OUR BUSSES. 
          AND ONCE IT'S SEEN, IT CAN'T BE UNSEEN. AND THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM ISN'T LOWERING THE
STANDARD. 
          IT'S FINDING A SOLUTION THAT'S WORKABLE. FIRST,
I BELIEVE WE CAN PARTNER WITH PARENTS. 
          [00:25:01]
MAKE IT AN INITIATIVE. HELP US HELP YOU. IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE NEED FOR
A PHONE THAT DAY, PLEASE JUST LEAVE IT AT HOME. IT WILL HELP US IF WE HAVE FEWER DEVICES AT SCHOOL AND ON
THE BUSSES TO MONITOR US. 
          SECOND, ENFORCEMENT DOES NOT REQUIRE PERFECTION. 
          THE BUS DRIVERS DON'T HAVE TO PERFECTLY KEEP EVERY PHONE OFF THE BUS IF THEY SEE IT. 
          JUST THEY NEED TO REPORT IT. TAKE IT. IF WE TRY TO BE PERFECT WITH EVERY BUS RULE,
WE WOULD HAVE NO RULES. 
          I'M OUT OF TIME. IN CLOSING, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO LOWER EXPECTATIONS. 
          IT'S TO CONTINUE WORKING TO MAKE THE EXPECTATIONS WORK. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS BRETT HORTON. 
          HI, MY NAME IS BRETT HORTON. I HAVE FOUR KIDS THAT LIVE AND GO TO SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. 
          PROBABLY SOCIAL MEDIA USE PHONE IS ONE OF THE TOP THREE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT HOW WE PARENT. 
          AND TO BE REALLY HONEST, LIKE THE SCHOOL BUS RIDE WAS PROBABLY WHAT GOT THE MOST FOCUS AS
YOU HAVE CHILDREN. 
          I RODE THE BACK SEAT OF THE BUS AS A KID. I REMEMBER WITH THE BACK SEAT OF THE BUSSES
LIKE. 
          AND SO YOU HAVE THIS TIME ON A BUS. THAT IS PROBABLY THE HIGHEST RISK PROFILE THAT WE
VIEWED AS A PARENT. 
          AND SO WE HAD GREAT RELIEF LAST YEAR AS, AS KIND OF THESE RULES ROLLED OUT. 
          AND IT MADE IT MUCH EASIER FOR US TO USE THE BUS SERVICES. 
          PRIOR TO THAT, WE WOULD OFTEN ALLOW OUR KID TO TAKE THE BUS ON THE SHORT RIDE,
YOU KNOW, USUALLY EITHER ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL OR WAY HOME. 
          ONE IS WHERE WE LIVE IS VERY SHORT, ONE IS VERY LONG. 
          AND WE WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY WOULD BE ON THE BUS BECAUSE OF THAT LACK
OF CONTROL OR THAT EXPOSURE. 
          AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT. I THINK THIS IS A REALLY BIG STEP BACK AND ADDS A
DIFFERENT RISK PROFILE THAT THAT MAYBE WE HAD ALREADY MITIGATED. 
          AND SO I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER WHICH DIRECTION WE'RE GOING. 
          AS I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS AND HAVE I TALKED TO MY COMMUNITY,
THERE WAS A REAL LACK OF AWARENESS THAT WE WERE WE WERE BACKTRACKING ON THAT. 
          AND SO AS SOMEONE THAT HAS A NUMBER OF KIDS THAT USE THE BUS SYSTEMS,
I WOULD SAY MYSELF AND OTHERS MAYBE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT CHANGE AND ARE REALLY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE. AND SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT'S LEGAL OR NOT LEGAL,
BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE WORTH TRYING TO GO GET THE VOICE OF THE PARENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT USE BUSSES AND REALLY TO,
TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR CONCERNS, BECAUSE THIS WAS ONE OF OUR TOP CONCERNS. AND,
AND, AND NOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, BEEN BEEN RE ELEVATED WITH THIS CHANGE. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE FINAL SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS MARISSA MAHON. 
          GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR GLENN AND TRUSTEES. I WANT TO TOUCH ON TWO TOPICS TONIGHT. 
          FIRST OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONALS. 
          THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THIS IS THE LOWEST PAID POSITION IN
THE DISTRICT. 
          AS EACH OF YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN A CONSTANT ADVOCATE FOR HIGHLIGHTING HOW ESSENTIAL OUR
SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONALS ARE TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS. THEY SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES ACROSS EVERY SETTING ACADEMIC,
BEHAVIORAL, SOCIAL, AND EVEN OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. 
          I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO CONDUCT A DEEPER ANALYSIS OF THIS POSITION. 
          IT WOULD MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO FAMILIES LIKE MINE WHO RELY ON THESE INDIVIDUALS EVERY
SINGLE DAY. 
          I ASK THAT YOU COMPARE THE PROPOSED PAY TO MARKET PAY FOR OTHER HOURLY POSITIONS IN THE
COMMUNITY, AND THAT YOU REVIEW THE RETENTION RATE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONALS OVER THE
LAST FIVE YEARS, AS WELL AS THE SUBSTITUTE FILL RATE FOR THOSE ROLES BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE. I ALSO INVITE EACH OF YOU TO INVITE OR INVITE EACH OF YOU TO VISIT MY
SON'S CLASSROOM AT ROCKENBAUGH BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS. 
          SEE THE PASSION, THE ENERGY, AND THE SKILL THAT THESE PARAPROFESSIONALS BRING TO STUDENTS
WITH COMPLEX NEEDS, AND THEN COMPARE THAT LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY TO THE HOURLY WAGES AVAILABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THERE'S ALSO A LEGAL CASE IN OUR DISTRICT FROM TWO YEARS AGO
INVOLVING A SEXUAL ASSAULT BETWEEN TWO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN A TIME OUT ROOM, AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED BECAUSE STAFFING AND TRAINING WERE NOT ADEQUATE. THAT INCIDENT
STAYS WITH ME LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          EVERY DAY I WAKE UP AND I THINK ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE PIECES TOGETHER,
IT BECOMES CLEAR HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO EVALUATE THIS POSITION WITH THE SERIOUSNESS IT DESERVES. THE SECOND TOPIC IS HOUSE BILL 1481 AND THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO
OUR LOCAL POLICY. 
          AS YOU ALL HAVE DISCUSSED, THE INTENT OF 1481 WAS TO MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS DURING THE
SCHOOL DAY. 
          HOWEVER, THE CURRENT POLICY PROPOSAL CREATES ANOTHER LOOPHOLE BY REMOVING THE PROHIBITION
ON PERSONAL DEVICES, ON SCHOOL BUSSES AND NARROWING THE DEFINITION OF SCHOOL PROPERTY SO THAT DEVICE IS USED ON
BUSSES OR BETWEEN CAMPUSES. 
          FALL OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY, OUTSIDE THE POLICY. 
          IT'S BAD ENOUGH WE HAVE OUR MACBOOKS WHERE KIDS CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. MAYOR WHATEVER
THEY WANT. 
          [00:30:02]
BUT THIS SPECIFIC CHANGE WOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO USE PERSONAL DEVICES DURING
TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSITIONS TIMES WHEN SUPERVISION IS LIMITED AND STAFF ARE FOCUSED ON SAFETY, NOT CONSTANT MONITORING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IN OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE WE
HAVE THE SHUTTLE BUSSES RUNNING BETWEEN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE SENIOR HIGH THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THOSE TRANSITION ARE ALREADY FAST PACED AND CROWDED,
AND ADDING UNRESTRICTED DEVICE USE INTRODUCES DISTRACTION, CONFLICT, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE TEST INFORMATION BEFORE STUDENTS EVEN RETURN TO
CLASS. 
          NOW, EVEN IF WE'RE ONLY SAYING THE ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL FROM SCHOOL,
CONSISTENCY IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR KIDS. 
          AND IF YOU'RE CREATING CAVEATS IN ONE AREA AND NOT ANOTHER,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT OUR BUS DRIVERS CAN SAFELY MONITOR A BUS AND ALL THE TRAFFIC AND MONITOR WHETHER A STUDENT IS USING A DEVICE APPROPRIATELY. 
          ACCESSING PROHIBITED CONTENT OR ENGAGING IN BEHAVIOR THAT VIOLATES STUDENT CODE OF
CONDUCT, THAT EXPECTATION IS NOT REALISTIC. SO I WANT TO END WITH THIS. 
          IF A BUS DRIVER CANNOT MONITOR THE USE OF PHONES TO BEGIN WITH,
LIKE Y'ALL SAID DURING THE LAST MEETING, HOW WOULD WE TASK BUS DRIVERS WITH A MONITORING AND APPROPRIATE USE OF A PHONE UNDER A
MORE PERMISSIVE POLICY. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS MAHONE. MS. YELTON. 
          IS THAT THE FINAL SPEAKER? THAT IS THE FINAL SPEAKER. 
          OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION,
POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT. 
          AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACTIONS TONIGHT. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 7,
7.1 WHICH IS OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS. 
          [7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT]
TRUSTEE YEAGER I KNOW YOU HAVE A REPORT TO GIVE. 
          I DO. PRESIDENT BRYAN I WAS HAPPY TO ATTEND OUR FOURTH AS THE LAW REQUIRES TO HAVE FOUR,
MISS PATTY, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, SHAC MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. 
          AND TRUSTEE LANNEN HAS BEEN AT EVERY ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S GREAT HAVING HIM AS A PARTNER ON THAT AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY
AND STAFF. 
          AND THIS FOURTH AND FINAL SHAC MEETING WE HAD MISS DONNA,
EXCUSE ME, MISS DODGE, DANA DODGE, AND SHE, AS PEOPLE KNOW, IS OUR AWESOME CHILD NUTRITION DIRECTOR. 
          AND SHE GAVE US A GREAT UPDATE. WE COVERED EVERYTHING FROM WHAT WERE NEW ITEMS ON THE
MENU. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT CHEESE TORTELLINI AND THE PANINIS AND THE GYROS ARE VERY POPULAR. 
          AND IN ALL HONESTY, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LIVING IN THE MAHA MOVEMENT,
RIGHT. 
          AND WE WANT TO HAVE THE HEALTHIEST CHOICES FOR OUR STUDENTS. 
          AND SO THOUGH WE HAVE FUN WITH IT, IT'S ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT OUR KIDS ARE
GETTING GOOD NUTRITION AT THE BEST VALUE POSSIBLE. 
          BECAUSE THEY NEED THAT ENERGY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND WE REALLY LEARNED A LOT. HERE'S JUST
ONE STAT THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE. 
          THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT SERVES 2200 LUNCHES A DAY. 
          I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THAT. AND WHEN THERE'S PIZZA DAY MR. BRYAN, IT'S 2500, SO IT'S VERY PIZZAS, VERY POPULAR. 
          WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO KNOW TOO,
THERE IS INFORMATION THAT IS ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE AND UNDERSTAND A COUPLE THINGS. 
          IF YOU GO UNDER CHILD NUTRITION ON OUR WEBSITE,
THERE'S IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO KNOW, SUCH AS IF YOUR STUDENT HAS SPECIAL NEEDS SUCH AS DIABETES AND OTHER THINGS. 
          THAT INFORMATION CAN THEN BE RELAYED TO OUR NURSES,
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND SOMETHING I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT. 
          SO IF ANY, AGAIN, ANY OF OUR KIDDOS AND PARENTS ARE REALIZING THEIR SPECIAL NEEDS,
THOSE CAN BE. 
          AND THEY DO A WONDERFUL JOB WITH NURSES WORKING WITH NUTRITIONISTS,
RIGHT? MR. LANNEN. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THERE,
BUT PARENTS DO HAVE A DECISION MAKING ROLE AND WHAT, WHAT THEIR STUDENTS CAN EAT. THAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND THE DAY OF PARENT
RIGHTS. 
          ANYTHING TO ADD ON THAT, MR. LANNEN? I'M REALLY IMPRESSED ABOUT THE GREAT FOOD THAT THEY
SERVE OVER THERE. 
          AND I JUST WANT TO THANK DANA DODGE FOR HER PRESENTATION TO US AND ALL THE AMAZING THINGS
THEY DO TO FEED OUR STUDENTS. 
          THANKS, DANA. AND THIS I THINK THE FOURTH YEAR I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE AND I THINK MOST
OF THOSE YEARS. 
          MISS PEDDY, YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU TRUSTEE YEAGER AND TRUSTEE LANNEN. UP NEXT,
TRUSTEE REECE. 
          YES. SO LAST TUESDAY ON THE 14TH, I ATTENDED THE DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING ON
BEHALF OF TRUSTEE STACY AND TRUSTEE BOTTOM, AND THEY REVIEWED, MISS PARSONS, REVIEWED TITLE ONE THROUGH THREE AND TOUCHED BASE ON
TITLE FOUR. 
          AND HOW THAT ROLLS INTO TITLE TWO. AND THEN WE REVIEWED THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE REECE. ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT. 
          GOOD EVENING AGAIN, EVERYONE. I WANT TO BEGIN BY RECOGNIZING A PROUD MOMENT FOR OUR
DISTRICT. 
          THIS PAST WEEK, THE CARROLL ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES WAS HONORED WITH TWO AWARDS AT THE
TEXANS FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE TRAINING CONFERENCE. THESE RECOGNITIONS REFLECT A SHARED COMMITMENT NOT JUST FROM THE BOARD,
BUT FROM OUR ENTIRE DISTRICT TO LEAD WITH COURAGE, 
          [00:35:05]
VISION AND CONVICTION IN SUPPORT OF OUR STUDENTS,
STAFF AND COMMUNITY. 
          WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND REMAIN FOCUSED ON CONTINUING THAT WORK EVERY
DAY. 
          I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS
AND FAMILIES. 
          THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH, CARROLL ISD WILL HOST THE NORTH TEXAS U.S. 
          SERVICE ACADEMIES FORUM AT OUR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. 
          THIS IS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT
SERVICE ACADEMIES, MEET REPRESENTATIVES, AND EXPLORE PATHWAYS TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY. 
          WE ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO ATTEND AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO OUR STAFF. 
          THANK YOU. YOUR DEDICATION IS THE REASON OUR DISTRICT CONTINUES TO EXCEL. 
          YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE SECOND $1,000 PAYMENT IN YOUR APRIL PAYCHECKS AS PART OF OUR
ONGOING COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT AND INVEST IN YOU. 
          ADDITIONALLY, WE PLAN TO VOTE TONIGHT ON A PAY RAISE THAT WILL MOVE OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF
INTO A MORE COMPETITIVE POSITION WITH NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS. 
          THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP IN ENSURING WE ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE VERY BEST EDUCATORS AND
PROFESSIONALS FOR OUR STUDENTS. 
          IMPORTANTLY, THESE INVESTMENTS ARE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE STRONG SUPPORT FROM OUR
COMMUNITY. 
          THIS PAST NOVEMBER, VOTERS APPROVED THE VATRE,
ALLOWING US TO PRIORITIZE OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF WHILE MAINTAINING THE HIGH STANDARDS EXPECTED OF CARROLL ISD. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR A COMMUNITY THAT BELIEVES IN OUR DISTRICT,
SUPPORTS OUR STAFF, AND INVEST IN OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER EIGHT,
WHICH IS OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT, 
          [8. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]
DOCTOR GLENN. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BRYAN. AS WE MOVE THROUGH APRIL IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT WE ARE NOW JUST FIVE WEEKS AWAY FROM GRADUATION. 
          THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR FOR OUR STUDENTS,
OUR STAFF, AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND THERE'S A STRONG SENSE OF MOMENTUM ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES THAT I'M GRATEFUL FOR. 
          I ALSO WANT TO APPRECIATE OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS WHO MAKE ALL OF OUR SUCCESS
POSSIBLE. 
          TONIGHT, I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT ALSO TO THANK OUR TRUSTEES FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP AND
COMMITMENT TO CARROLL ISD. 
          YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT TO ITEMS LIKE INCREASING OUR STAFF COMPENSATION PLAYS A CRITICAL
ROLE IN ENSURING THAT CARROLL ISD REMAINS A PLACE WHERE BOTH STUDENTS AND STAFF CAN THRIVE. I ALSO DO WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE RECOGNITIONS YOU RECEIVED AT THE
ANNUAL T CONFERENCE THIS PAST WEEKEND. 
          THAT'S AN HONOR THAT TRULY REFLECTS YOUR HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN
GOVERNMENT. 
          I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ASHLEY PETTIT AND OUR ENTIRE SPECIAL EDUCATION TEAM FOR AN
OUTSTANDING JOB HOSTING THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS THIS PAST FRIDAY. 
          UNDER ASHLEY'S LEADERSHIP AS HEAD COACH OF OUR SPECIAL OLYMPICS PROGRAM,
THIS EVENT CONTINUES TO BE A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT INCLUSION AND COMMUNITY TRULY LOOK LIKE. EVENTS LIKE THIS BRING TOGETHER STUDENT ATHLETES,
VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS TO COMPETE, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF PARTICIPATION AND ACHIEVEMENT. 
          THE LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION, CARE, AND HEART THAT GOES INTO MAKING,
MAKING THIS EVENT SUCCESSFUL IS REMARKABLE AND IT REFLECTS THE DEEP COMMITMENT OF OUR STAFF. OUR STAFF HAS TO EVERY STUDENT WE SERVE,
WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE WAY OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEAM CREATES MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES THAT CELEBRATE ABILITY, FOSTER BELONGING,
AND UNITE OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WHILE WE'VE HAD MANY SUCCESSES THIS SPRING, WE'VE ALSO FACED A SMALL DISAPPOINTMENT WITH
THE POSTPONEMENT OF OUR FIRST ANNUAL CISD SERVES DAY THIS PAST SATURDAY DUE TO WEATHER. 
          WITH THAT SAID, I WANT TO THANK OUR FACILITIES TEAM,
OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS AND OUR PTOS FOR THEIR COORDINATION AND FLEXIBILITY. 
          THEY ARE ALREADY WORKING TOWARD ENSURING THAT ALL PLANNED BEAUTIFICATION EFFORTS ARE
COMPLETED, AND THEIR PARTNERSHIP IS WHAT MAKES EFFORTS LIKE THIS POSSIBLE. 
          AS WE LOOK AHEAD, OUR FOCUS REMAINS STRONG ON FINISHING THE YEAR ACADEMICALLY,
OPERATIONALLY AND AS A COMMUNITY. 
          PREPARING OUR DRAGONS TO GRADUATE AT DRAGON STADIUM ON MAY 22ND. 
          YEAH. IS THAT RIGHT? MAY 20TH 22ND, THE CLASS OF 2026. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD TO TO COMPLETING THIS YEAR. 
          AND IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE, MISS STACY, I KNOW YOU HAVE A SENIOR THIS YEAR,
SO IT'S GONE BY FAST. 
          MR. PRESIDENT, THAT'S YOUR REPORT. THANK YOU DOCTOR. EXCELLENT REPORT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO
ITEM NUMBER NINE, 
          [9. INFORMATION]
WHICH IS THE INFORMATION PORTION OF OUR MEETING. 
          9.1 IS 2025 2026 BUDGET UPDATE, MR. PARK. 
          DOCTOR GLENN, MR. BRYAN. TRUSTEES. GOOD EVENING. 
          [00:40:02]
I'M HERE TO PROVIDE OUR FIRST BUDGET UPDATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 25-26. 
          EXCUSE ME. HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT, SO AS OF AS OF THE END OF FEBRUARY I'D LIKE TO PRESENT OUR CURRENT PICTURE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR
THAT WE'RE IN NOW. 
          PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ONE TIME PAYMENT THAT MR. BRYAN MENTIONED IN HIS REPORT. THAT IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER FOR,
FOR THE CURRENT SLIGHT DEFICIT THAT, THAT YOU SEE HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. 
          NOW WE, WE DID RECEIVE A UNBUDGETED INSURANCE PROCEEDS COMPENSATION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE BOOKED LAST YEAR, BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED IT. SO, SO THAT OFFSETS A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO CURRENTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 1.25 MILLION DEFICIT,
WHICH WE HOPE TO RECOUP THROUGH LAND SALES AND ALSO SALES OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS. JUST A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND. 
          WE HAVE OUR PLAN DEFEASANCE HERE COMING UP IN JUNE. 
          THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN AUGUST AT THE AUGUST REGULAR MEETING. 
          THAT DEFEASANCE WILL BE FOR 10 MILLION. SO AND THE EXPECTED NET PRESENT VALUE SAVINGS OF
THAT DEFEASANCE IS AROUND $800,000. 
          SO THAT THIS YEAR WE STARTED THE YEAR WITH A $17.5 MILLION FUND BALANCE AFTER THE
DEFEASANCE AND OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS. WE EXPECT TO END THE YEAR WITH A FUND BALANCE OF JUST OVER 16 MILLION. 
          LOOKING AHEAD TO OUR 26-27 BUDGET PROCESS. GO OVER THE QUICK TIMELINE. 
          BACK IN NOVEMBER, WE PASSED OUR VATRE, SET OUR TAX RATE FOR,
FOR THIS YEAR. 
          AND THEN STARTING THIS YEAR, FROM JANUARY THROUGH MARCH,
WE DID ALL OF OUR PRELIMINARY SALARY AND STAFFING ANALYSIS, PRELIMINARY ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS. AND ALSO WE JUST RECEIVED OUR PRELIMINARY REVENUE
ESTIMATES. 
          I'M SORRY, TAXABLE VALUE ESTIMATES. SO LOOKING AT THAT WE ARE WORKING TIRELESSLY TO TRY
AND PROJECT THE REVENUES THAT, THAT WE'LL SEE THIS YEAR APRIL THROUGH JUNE. 
          WE'RE NOW FINISHING UP OUR DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS AND OUR CAMPUS BUDGETS AND THEN CONTINUE
TO GET MORE TARGETED NUMBERS FOR OUR PRELIMINARY PROPERTY VALUES. AND THEN IN JULY OR JUNE,
WE WILL LOOK TO ADOPT OUR BUDGET. 
          IN JULY, WE WILL RECEIVE OUR CERTIFIED VALUES AND THEN WE'LL ADOPT OUR TAX RATE
SUBSEQUENTLY AFTER THAT IN, IN AUGUST. SO SOME KEY REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS GOING INTO THIS YEAR. 
          AS YOU KNOW, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED HOUSE BILL TWO. 
          AND THIS SECOND YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM IS WHEN OUR SPED ALLOTMENTS IS SUPPOSED TO BE UPDATED
ON THE INTENSITY OF SERVICES MODEL. 
          THE COMMISSIONER DID RELEASE SOME, SOME SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS THIS PAST WEEK. 
          BUT THE BUT THE WEIGHTS AND THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EIGHT TIERS OF FUNDING HAVE NOT
BEEN PUBLISHED YET. 
          SO WE ARE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THOSE UPDATES AND WE'LL PLAN ACCORDINGLY. 
          AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE PRELIMINARY VALUES FROM TAD JUST WERE RELEASED. 
          WE ARE CURRENTLY AT ABOUT $14.35 BILLION IN TAXABLE VALUE. 
          THAT'S UP A QUARTER PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR'S PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES. 
          AND TYPICALLY FROM HERE TO CERTIFIED VALUES,
WE LOSE ABOUT $900 MILLION. 
          SO I'M EXPECTING THE SAME, ALTHOUGH ALTHOUGH ALL THE HOLD HARMLESS AND THE FROZEN VALUES
THAT, THAT WERE UPDATED THIS PAST YEAR YOU KNOW, THERE'S,
THERE'S A LOT OF FLUCTUATION WITH THAT STILL. 
          SO OUR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS CURRENTLY, AS OUR DEMOGRAPHER HAS PROJECTED WE ARE EXPECTED
TO LOSE 176 STUDENTS FROM 7870 TO 7694, WHICH WOULD EQUATE TO ABOUT A $1.5 MILLION FUNDING LOSS
FOR US GOING INTO THIS YEAR. AND UNKNOWN IS THE IS THE TIFA EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNTS THAT
THAT WAS PASSED FOR THE FIRST 
          [00:45:02]
TIME IN THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. SO RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT HANDLE ON,
ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WE MIGHT LOSE. 
          BUT, BUT AS THOSE RESULTS COME, THERE SHOULD BECOME PRETTY,
PRETTY IMMINENTLY. 
          SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT SOON. OTHER REVENUE SOURCES WE'RE LOOKING AT OBVIOUSLY
PROPERTY SALES WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. 
          WE WILL BE CLOSING HOPEFULLY HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS ON,
ON THE, THE PROPERTY BEHIND US. 
          AND THEN ALSO GETTING RID OF OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE JUST THE INITIAL SALES. BUT WE ALSO HAVE OUR OUR OLD CIS BUILDING
PROPERTY AND A COUPLE OTHER SMALLER, SMALLER TRACKS THAT ARE HERE. WE'LL,
WE'LL CLOSE SOON, HOPEFULLY. 
          INTEREST RATES. YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR,
OF OUR BUDGET. 
          FROM FISCAL YEAR 25, WE ARE DOWN ABOUT 50 TO 75 BASIS POINTS. 
          THERE IS NO, OR I DON'T EXPECT, YOU KNOW, A SHARP DECLINE FROM,
FROM RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT IS THERE'S A LOT OF VOLATILITY HERE YOU KNOW,
IN THE POLITICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL LANDSCAPE. 
          SO THAT IS YET TO REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THAT. 
          ALSO PROJECTED REDUCTIONS IN OUR SHARS AND OUR BABS BUILD AMERICA BONDS REBATES AS WE,
AS WE PAY THOSE DOWN. 
          YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE, THE REBATE AMOUNT WILL BE SMALLER IN FUTURE YEARS. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, THE FACILITY RENTALS, ATHLETIC GATE,
AQUATICS, LANES, RENTALS, AQUATICS FEES, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT THAT WE WILL CONSIDER. 
          AND WE HAVE MEETINGS STARTING TOMORROW TO SIT DOWN WITH OUR ATHLETICS,
WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION, WITH OUR FOOD SERVICE TO, TO EXAMINE ALL THOSE RATES GOING FORWARD. 
          ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, FTE PAYROLL MAKES UP,
YOU KNOW, NOW IT'S, IT'S, IT'S PROBABLY CREEPING UP PAST 80% OF OUR, OF OUR, OF OUR TOTAL GENERAL FUND BUDGET. 
          AND SO AS WE LOSE STUDENTS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE,
THAT WE, THAT WE TRY TO CONTINUE TO MATCH THAT LOSS WITH A PROPORTIONATE SAVINGS IN, IN, IN STAFF. 
          AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO SAVE $1 MILLION PLUS THROUGH ATTRITION. AND THEN, AS YOU MENTIONED, AND COMING UP HERE SOON,
WE WILL RECOMMEND A COMPENSATION RAISE PACKAGE THAT WILL BE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE TUNE OF 2.3 TO $2.4 MILLION FOR FOR THIS YEAR. 
          SO WE KNOW WE'LL BE ADDING THAT TO OUR BUDGET. 
          AND THEN, AND THEN NON-PAYROLL BUDGETS, THE OTHER 20% THROUGH OUR,
THROUGH OUR ZERO BASED BUDGETING EFFORTS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST A POTENTIAL $500,000 REDUCTION IN OUR,
IN OUR NON-PAYROLL BUDGETS. 
          AND THEN ALSO WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR CAMPUS BUDGETS AND OUR CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW, THOSE CONTINUE TO ADJUST ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT COUNT THEY HAVE. 
          SO A BIG HIT TO THIS, THE END OF THIS YEAR FOR US WAS WAS OUR WAS OUR FUEL COST AND ALSO
FOOD COSTS. 
          THOSE HAVE CONTINUED TO, TO RISE. AND SO WE,
WE WILL BE EXAMINING THAT CAREFULLY GOING FORWARD FOR, FOR NEXT YEAR TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH BUDGET TO HANDLE THAT. 
          AND THEN ALSO LAST THING IS COST OF RECAPTURE. 
          THIS YEAR WE, WE ARE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BUDGETED 21 MILLION,
BUT AS WE LOSE STUDENTS I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'LL STAY THERE. 
          I THINK WE'LL FINISH CLOSER TO 22 MILLION THIS YEAR. 
          BUT THAT IS ONE THING. AS OUR VALUES CONTINUE TO,
TO, TO GO UP. 
          IN THE SECOND YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM, WE WILL EXPECT RECAPTURE TO GO UP AS WELL. 
          AND THAT IS YOUR UPDATE. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU,
MR. PARK. APPRECIATE YOU AS ALWAYS. 
          I KNOW WHEN YOU CAME ON BOARD JUST A SHORT TIME AGO,
WE'RE ABOUT AT AN $8.5 MILLION PROJECTED DEFICIT, AND WE'RE NOW DOWN TO A $1.2 MILLION PROJECTED DEFICIT. 
          AND YOU KNOW, WE JUST APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND DOCTOR GLENN VERY MUCH FOR
EMBRACING THE ZERO BASED BUDGETING CONCEPT AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S A PRIORITY ON A BALANCED BUDGET. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO WE HAVE ANY INDICATION ABOUT THE,
THAT PROPERTY VALUES? I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT COMING UNTIL JULY, RIGHT? 
          [00:50:03]
THE FINAL, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD IF OUR CITY IS GOING TO BE YOU KNOW,
CONSTANT FROM WHERE WE ARE LAST YEAR, WE MOVING UP, ARE WE GOING DOWN? THEY'RE GOING TO REAPPRAISE PROPERTIES AND RAISE VALUES. 
          YEAH, YEAH. SO, SO WE ARE IN YEAR TWO OF THE,
OF THE THREE YEAR REAPPRAISAL PLAN. 
          AND SO I DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH INCREASE FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'RE IN OR
THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE GOING INTO. BUT YOU KNOW, ONCE THAT THIRD YEAR HITS,
THEN, THEN YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO, TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT, FOR THAT BIG ADJUSTMENT. 
          SO. OKAY. SO, SO I JUST WANT TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF MR. PARKS REMARKS AND, AND CHASE, THANK YOU FOR,
FOR BEING SO THOUGHTFUL AND THOROUGH IN YOUR PRESENTATION AND WHAT YOU DO A DAY IN AND DAY OUT. FIRST IS IT IS IT RELATES TO, TO THE FINANCIAL ISSUES THAT WE HAVE FACED AND WE
CONTINUE TO FACE. 
          KEEP IN MIND THAT PRESIDENT BRYAN AND I KNOW THE REST OF THE TRUSTEES HAVE SAID TIME AND
TIME AGAIN, WE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THE LAND BUSINESS. AND,
AND SO THAT IS WHY YOU SEE OUR BOARD LOOK AT SURPLUS PROPERTY. 
          IN FACT, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AND DECLARE IT SURPLUS,
SELL IT AND AND HOPE TO TAKE THOSE FUNDS AND INVEST SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME REVENUE PRODUCING. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO, TO SELL PROPERTY,
ESPECIALLY HERE IN IN CARROLL SOUTHLAKE AND, SO TO THAT END, YOU KNOW, TONIGHT WE'LL DISCUSS GIVING US ABOUT A YEAR'S WORTH OF LEAD
TIME ON A POTENTIAL PROPERTY SALE. 
          IT WOULD HAVE BEEN KEY, I THINK WHEN WE WERE PLANNING LAST YEAR,
BOTH MR. PARK AND I NEW TO, TO THE SOUTHLAKE. IT TAKES TIME TO GET THINGS THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL
AND, AND BEFORE WE CAN GET THOSE DOLLARS, THOSE INVESTMENT DOLLARS THAT THAT ARE POTENTIALLY
YIELDED FROM THESE PROPERTIES THEY THE BUYER WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY WHAT IS INTENDED. 
          AND AND IT, IT'S, IT TAKES A WHILE. AND SO SO TO THAT END,
WE'VE, WE'VE LOST OUT ON SOME REVENUE THAT WE ANTICIPATED GETTING DUE TO INTEREST RATES THIS YEAR. OR WE WOULD BE, WE WOULD BE VERY,
VERY CLOSE TO HOME, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COMMUNITY STEPPING UP AND SUPPORTING THE VATRE. 
          THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. AND I JUST YOU KNOW,
I WANT TO POINT OUT IN WHAT WE'VE PROMISED OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY AND JUST SPEND
THEM. 
          WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM IN SOME SORT OF AN INVESTMENT ACCOUNT,
WHETHER THAT BE A HIGH YIELD ACCOUNT OR WHATEVER. 
          OUR DISTRICT IS ALLOWED TO DO AND LET THAT MONEY SIT AND EARN INTEREST AND THAT INTEREST,
THEN WE CAN PUT EACH YEAR TOWARDS A TEACHER AND STAFF RAISE NOT HAVING TO RELY ON THE, ON THE STATE LEGISLATURE EVERY OTHER YEAR TO
GIVE OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF A RAISE. 
          WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A GREAT RETAINAGE EFFORT AND DECISION THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE OUR
TEACHERS AND STAFF AT LEAST SOME EXPECTATIONS OF SALARY IN THE, IN THE COMING YEAR. AND THEN WHATEVER THE STATE LEGISLATURE GIVES US EVERY OTHER
YEAR, THAT'S JUST YOU KNOW, ICING ON TOP OF THE CAKE. 
          SO WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF YOU GUYS FOR EMBRACING THAT CONCEPT AND FOR US BEING ABLE TO
DO THAT. 
          NOW WE HAVE A VERY HEALTHY FUND BALANCE WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS OF 42 OR 47
MILLION, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 46 MILLION. 46 MILLION. MR. PARK. AND THEN THE SALE OF PROPERTY IN TOTAL COULD BE BETWEEN 30 AND 50 MILLION. 
          SO THAT'S WE'RE SITTING IN A VERY GOOD, HEALTHY FINANCIAL SITUATION. 
          I THINK IT'S JUST THE LIQUIDATED CASH FROM THE STATE IS WHERE WE'RE COMING UP WITH THE
SHORTFALL. 
          AND WE HOPE THAT THEY TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION NEXT YEAR AT THE THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE
SESSION. 
          WE'RE NOT HOLDING OUR BREATH, CERTAINLY THAT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO HELP PUBLIC
EDUCATION. 
          BUT WE ARE GOING TO ASK THE COMMUNITY AND THE BOARD,
AND I KNOW THE DISTRICT IS FULLY COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT OUR LEGISLATIVE BODY UNDERSTANDS THAT WE'RE IN REAL NEED IN A FINANCIAL CRUNCH IN THIS STATE,
AND WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU MAY
HAVE FOR MR. PARK. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU TOUCHED ON WAS AN INCREASE IN
FUEL AND FOOD. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY PLANS TO KIND OF LIKE PUT OUT AN RFP OR SEE IF WE CAN GET BETTER RATES AT
ALL? I THINK I THINK WE HAVE A FEW COMPANIES AND VENDORS THAT WE DO ESPECIALLY ON THE FUEL SIDE
THAT WE DO BID OR, YOU KNOW. WE SHOP THE FUEL REGULARLY DURING THE YEAR. 
          YEAH. WE MAKE SURE TO, TO, TO FIND THE BEST PRICE AT THAT TIME TO,
TO REFUEL. 
          SO YEAH. PERFECT. AND THEN ONE LAST QUESTION WAS ON THE SHARS. 
          DO WE ANTICIPATE IT SAID THAT WE'RE EXPECTING. 
          [00:55:01]
I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOUR WORDING SAID,
BUT I REMEMBER LIKE A YEAR AGO, IT KIND OF TOOK US OFF GUARD. 
          WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THE SHARS REPAYMENT TO BE LESS THAN A CERTAIN AMOUNT. 
          SO DO WE. DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS OR IS IT KIND OF UP IN THE AIR? YEAH. SO FOR OUR LAST COST REPORT, I BELIEVE THE 23-24 COST REPORT. 
          WE, I THINK WE SUBMITTED FOR $155,000 OF REIMBURSEMENT. 
          AND THEN THE, AT THE INTERIM WE WERE DENIED FOR MOST EXCEPT FOR LIKE $15,000. 
          AND SO AND I PLEASE PARDON ME, I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT'S A 23,
22-23 YEAR OR THE 23-24 COST REPORT. 
          BUT, AND SO IT'S COMING DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE WE FEEL THAT THE AMOUNT OF REIMBURSEMENT
IS JUST NOT WORTH THE FTE AND THE, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT TAKES TO,
YOU KNOW, LOG IN THOSE THINGS AND SO AND SO AND SO. THIS IS, THIS IS THE YEAR THAT,
YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPOKEN WITH BOTH OUR PREVIOUS CHARGE ADMINISTRATOR AND OUR, AND OUR CURRENT CHARGE ADMINISTRATOR THAT AND SO YOU KNOW,
WE'VE, WE'VE REALLY MADE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN THIS YEAR TO GET TO GET EVERY PENNY IN REIMBURSEMENT THIS YEAR, TO SEE,
TO SEE YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR NUMBERS LOOK LIKE AND OUR, AND OUR PARTICIPATION CONTINUES TO DWINDLE EACH YEAR. 
          AND ALSO THE AMOUNT OF PARENTAL CONSENT THAT WE'RE RECEIVING TO,
TO EVEN TO BE ALLOWED TO EVEN BILL YOU KNOW, THAT CONTINUES TO, TO DWINDLE. AND SO YOU KNOW,
THOSE ARE FACTORS THAT, THAT YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, IT'S JUST, IT'S MAKING IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO,
TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE THIS AS A, AS A, AS ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, BUDGETARY LINE ITEM FOR US GOING FORWARD. 
          SO, AND I'LL, I'LL ELABORATE ON THAT. SO SEVERAL YEARS AGO,
FIRST OF ALL, ANYTIME YOU TAKE FEDERAL MONEY, THERE'S A LOT OF RED TAPE WITH IT. AND SO IT REQUIRES A LOT OF TIME FROM A,
JUST A SPECIAL EDUCATION, ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS OFFICE STANDPOINT, A LOT OF MAN HOURS. 
          IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK AND CHASE CHASES, GIVING YOU NUMBERS. 
          BECAUSE KEEP IN MIND, WE'RE NOT LIKE IN REAL TIME. 
          IT'S LIKE REIMBURSED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK 4 OR 5 YEARS,
WE PROBABLY GET CLOSE TO HALF $1 MILLION, MAYBE BETWEEN 3 AND $500,000, WHICH IS, I MEAN,
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. 
          RIGHT. MISS PARSONS, AND WE CAN PROBABLY. SO I'M NOT JUST,
LIKE, THROWING RANDOM NUMBERS OUT. 
          SHE COULD GIVE YOU A MORE DETAILED REPORT LATER,
BUT THE LAST TIME WE TALKED LOOKING AT, LIKE, CURRENT FISCAL YEAR NUMBERS AND CHASE SAID 15,000 IN MY MIND IN THAT LAST MEETING,
I THINK IT WAS BETWEEN LIKE SIX AND 15,000. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE NUMBERS WE USED TO YIELD. 
          SO THERE WAS SOME LITIGATION WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TRYING TO GET THE
FULL REIMBURSEMENT OF DOLLARS FROM TWO YEARS AGO. 
          THAT DID NOT WORK OUT. AND WE WERE ONE OF THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT WAS TRYING TO GET
THE FULL AMOUNT. 
          AND SO LIKE A PARTIAL AMOUNT WAS CREDITED TO MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          AND SINCE THAT TIME, REIMBURSEMENT OF THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY LOW. 
          WE CAN PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED REPORT WITH LIKE REAL NUMBERS IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU,
DOCTOR TRUSTEE YEAGER. 
          DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I DID. WE HAD 21 TOWN HALLS AND 45 DAYS LEADING UP TO THE VATRE
VOTE. 
          AGAIN, THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD BACK FROM SO MANY OF
THE PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED THOSE WAS, THANK YOU. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FUNDING, BECAUSE IT IS COMPLICATED HOW THE STATE FUNDING
FORMULA IS FOR OUR STUDENTS. 
          AND WHEN THEY SEE THE ENROLLMENT, THEY START TO UNDERSTAND,
OH NO, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THIS AGAIN. 
          I DON'T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, THOUGH, ENROLLMENT IN HOW IT CORRELATES WITH THE
RECAPTURE. 
          RIGHT. BECAUSE ONE COULD THINK THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT? I UNDERSTAND HOW RECAPTURE IS TIED TO PROPERTY VALUES. 
          BUT IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT AGAIN,
TO HOW THE TWO ARE CORRELATED, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHEN ENROLLMENT DROPS, THE FUNDING PER STUDENT OBVIOUSLY DROPS FROM THE
STATE, AND WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTIONS COLLECTIVELY. WOULD YOU JUST TALK ABOUT ENROLLMENT AND HOW
THAT RELATES TO THE RECAPTURE DOLLARS, BECAUSE YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT OUR ENROLLMENT IS GOING TO IS PROJECTED TO GO DOWN,
BUT OUR RECAPTURE IS GOING UP. 
          YEAH. SO SO ENROLLMENT, YOU KNOW, PER PER PER STUDENT ADA,
YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S THE, OUR, OUR MAIN FUNDING MECHANISM. AND SO, AND SO AS OUR VALUES CONTINUE TO GROW IN OUR,
IN OUR ENROLLMENT GOES DOWN 
          [01:00:03]
OUR, OUR TOTAL SHARE. SO OUR, SO YOU KNOW, TEA AND [INAUDIBLE] WOULD LIKE TO MENTION IT OR LIKE TO EQUATE IT TO A CUP. AND SO THAT THE SIZE OF YOUR,
OF YOUR CUP CONTINUES TO, TO SHRINK. 
          HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, WE COLLECT OVER THAT THE SIZE OF THAT CUP. 
          AND SO THAT THE PROPERTY TAXES THAT WE COLLECT THAT ARE,
THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF THAT, OF THAT OF THE SIZE OF THAT CUP, WHICH IS OUR LOCAL SHARE OF FUNDING, YOU KNOW,
THAT IS THE RECAPTURE AMOUNT THAT WE PAY BACK TO THE STATE. 
          SO, SO THINK OF OUR CUP LIKE IS ENROLLMENT. AND AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE GENERATING ENOUGH
REVENUE IN PROPERTY TAX VALUES THAT WE ARE FILLING UP THE CUP AND A LOT OF WATER IS SPILLING OUT. 
          WHEN ENROLLMENT SHRINKS, OUR CUP SHRINKS. AND SO MORE WATER IS SPILLING OUT. 
          AND, AND PROBABLY THE WAY I LIKE TO SAY IT I HEAR PEOPLE TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT ROBIN
HOOD, ROBIN HOOD, YOUR, YOUR RECAPTURE DISTRICT, YOUR ROBIN HOOD DISTRICT. 
          AND SO WHAT WAS ROBIN HOOD, YOU KNOW, STEAL FROM THE RICH AND GIVE TO THE POOR. 
          AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S REALLY NOT ROBIN HOOD ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE GIVEN
EVERYBODY THE SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT PER STUDENT. SO WHEREAS IN THE PAST, CAROLL MAY,
YOU KNOW, TRULY GOING BACK TO LIKE 1993, PROPERTY TAXES YIELDED MORE PER STUDENT THAN MOST OTHER PLACES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO YOU WOULD TAKE A LITTLE BIT FROM CAROLL,
BUT WE WOULD STILL GET MORE PER STUDENT THAN OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. 
          THAT IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE. NOW WE ACTUALLY GET LESS. 
          AND AS I LIKE TO REMIND PEOPLE THE LOWEST NOT ONLY IN WE ARE THE LOWEST IN TARRANT COUNTY, BUT THE NEXT LOWEST WOULD BE KELLER. THEY STILL GET $1,000 MORE PER KID FOR US. 
          THAT'S THAT'S CLOSE TO 8 MILLION MORE DOLLARS IF WE JUST GOT THAT THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          BUT AS PRESIDENT BRYAN WOULD LIKE TO SAY, WE'RE ALSO ONE OF THE LOWEST,
IF NOT THE LOWEST FUNDED DISTRICT IN THE STATE PER PUPIL. 
          THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. PARK? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, MR. PARK. GREAT PRESENTATION. OKAY,
MOVING ON TO OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF OUR AGENDA. 
          [10. DISCUSSION/ACTION]
OUR FIRST ITEM IS 10.1 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SENATE BILL 546 TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS. 
          I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE COMMUNITY, AS MR. BENNETT IS COMING UP,
THAT THE COMMUNITY MAY BE WATCHING TONIGHT OR HERE IS IN THE AUDIENCE. 
          ALL OF THESE ACTION ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A VOTE ON TONIGHT WAS THOROUGHLY VETTED
AND DISCUSSED AT LAST MONDAY'S MEETING UNDER THE INFORMATION PORTION. SO AS A,
AS A RESULT, THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THESE ACTION ITEMS. AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE COMMUNITY IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR COMMENTS WERE TO GO
BACK TO LAST MONDAY'S MEETING TO REVIEW BOARDS COMMENTS. 
          SO WITH THAT, MR. BENNETT. ABSOLUTELY. GOOD EVENING. 
          AS PRESIDENT BRYAN JUST SAID AT THE APRIL 13TH MEETING,
WE DISCUSSED THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE COST OF COMPLYING WITH SENATE BILL 546. 
          THE SHORT OF IT IS WE HAVE 17 BUSSES THAT ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE. 
          BRINGING THEM INTO COMPLIANCE WOULD COST MINIMUM 22,000 EACH,
AND THEY'RE WORTH AN AVERAGE OF 2500 EACH, MOSTLY DUE TO AGE MILEAGE, SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          BASED ON THAT BASED ON THE INFORMATION PRESENTED AT THE 13TH APRIL MEETING SENATE BILL 546
REQUIRES THE BOARD TO DETERMINE IF THE BUDGET DOES OR DOES NOT ALLOW BRINGING ALL BUSSES INTO COMPLIANCE BY
RETROFITTING. 
          AGAIN, THE STATE HAS MADE VAGUE REFERENCE TO A GRANT,
BUT THERE ARE NO SPECIFICS. 
          THERE ARE NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THEY SAY IT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN A FUTURE TO THE TO THE
ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE COMPLIANCE THROUGH ATTRITION. 
          WE HAVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2029, AND MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE SELL THE BUSSES. 
          THAT WOULD LEAVE US WITH 65. WE COULD OPERATE MOST OF THE TIME. 
          THERE WOULD BE SOME NOTABLE TIMES WHERE THAT WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH BUSSES,
BUT I DON'T SEE EVEN WITH THAT, I DON'T SEE THAT IT'S ECONOMICALLY VIABLE TO RETROFIT. 
          YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD, I MEAN, AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO NEED A VIABLE PLAN AND
A BUS REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO BUILD INTO THE BUDGET. 
          BUT TONIGHT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TRUSTEES IS THE STATE WANTS YOU TO TAKE ACTION ON WHETHER OR
NOT THERE IS MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO PAY FOR THIS RETROFITTING, WHICH WOULD BE CLOSE TO $600,000. AND AND THERE IS NOT. 
          THIS IS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE. AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION LAYS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU DOCTOR. THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT. 
          ANY DISCUSSION FOR MR. BENNETT? OKAY. MOTION. 
          I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES THAT OR THE RECOMMENDATION THAT'S IN PLACE BY
THIS ADMINISTRATION, 
          [01:05:05]
AND THAT IS TO NOTIFY THE STATE THAT THIS, IN FACT IS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE. 
          HOWEVER, THAT CISD WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE BY 2029 THROUGH STANDARD BUS ATTRITION. 
          SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION. AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU,
MR. BENNETT. NEXT IS ITEM NUMBER 10.2, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION FOR GRADES
K THROUGH 12 MATH CURRICULUM ADOPTION. 
          MISS PEDDY. GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT BRYAN. 
          DOCTOR GLENN. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT IF YOU WILL RECALL,
ON MARCH 30TH WE CAME TO YOU. 
          WE ARE THRILLED THAT WE ARE HERE AT GETTING A TEXTBOOK ADOPTION FOR OUR K 12 MATH PROGRAM. 
          WE ARE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THAT TONIGHT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS PEDDY? I HAVE A COMMENT. 
          I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY ON C AND I. I THOUGHT WHEN WE HAD YOU PRESENTED
INFORMATION IT WAS WONDERFULLY THOROUGH. 
          I THINK SO MANY OF US WHO ARE TRYING TO UNTETHER OR HOPE TO SEE CURRICULUM AND TECHNOLOGY
BE UNTETHERED. 
          I THOUGHT YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, YOUR TEAM MS. PEDDY OF EXPLAINING THAT AND HOPE EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY FOUND THAT,
AND I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW MATH CURRICULUM. 
          THANK YOU. I ECHO THAT. THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY AND YOUR TEAM. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MISS PEDDY?
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. AND JUST THANK YOU FOR VETTING ALL OF THE CURRICULUM FOR MATH AND GIVING US A REALLY GOOD REPORT ON EITHER THE PROS AND THE CONS OF EACH. 
          SO I JUST APPRECIATE HOW THOROUGH AND INTENTIONAL YOUR TEAM WAS. 
          THANK YOU. TRUSTEE YEAGER. I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVE THE NEW MATH CURRICULUM K
THROUGH 12 AS PRESENTED. 
          SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU,
MISS PEDDY AND TEAM. 
          NEXT UP IS ITEM 10.3, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 2026-27 COMPENSATION PLAN. 
          MISS KIBODEAUX. GOOD EVENING DOCTOR. GOOD EVENING. 
          PRESIDENT BRYAN. BOARD OF TRUSTEES. AS YOU'RE AWARE,
WE PRESENTED IN DETAIL LAST WEEK ABOUT THE COMPENSATION PLAN ALONG WITH THE BLACKOUT CALENDAR AND THE ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS. AND SO I AM HERE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THOSE AREAS COMPENSATION,
BLACKOUT CALENDAR AND THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE THE LOCAL BUYBACK OF UP TO FIVE LOCAL DAYS AND THE RETIREMENT
INCENTIVE PROGRAM. 
          THANK YOU, MISS KIBODEAUX, DOCTOR GLENN AND THE TEAM FOR COMING UP WITH THIS PLAN. 
          IF EVERYBODY REMEMBERS THE BOARD DIRECTED THE ADMINISTRATION. 
          IF THE VATRE WAS PASSED THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE ALL STAFF A $2,000 PAID RIGHT AFTER THE
VATRE WAS PASSED IN NOVEMBER AND THEN AGAIN IN APRIL. AND THEN WE ASKED THE DISTRICT TO COME TO US,
WHICH YOU HAVE DONE. 
          AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT WITH A NEW COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NOT JUST TEACHERS,
BUT EVERY DISCIPLINE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. 
          AND YOU HAVE DONE THAT. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU OR DOCTOR GLENN JUST KIND OF OUTLINE THAT
A LITTLE BIT. 
          I KNOW THAT WE'RE GIVING $5,000 FOR THOSE POSITIONS THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GIVE LAST YEAR
AND THE PERCENTAGE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE. 
          I'LL START AND THEN I'LL LET YOU GIVE A LITTLE MORE COMMENTARY. 
          FIRST OF ALL, ANYONE WHO DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO SEE MISS KIBODEAUX'S REPORT ON APRIL
13TH, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO. 
          BUT WHAT WE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO STRIKE HERE IS A,
IS A GOOD BALANCE OF WHAT WE CAN AFFORD TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN THIS AREA. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO PROACTIVELY LOOK,
LOOK DOWN THE ROAD TO MAKE SURE WE CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STAFF. 
          AFTER WE START GENERATING REVENUE FROM THE SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY. 
          SO THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A 3% ABOVE MIDPOINT RAISE FOR ALL TEACHING
STAFF. 
          WE ALSO WANTED TO GO BACK AND FIX SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE CREATED WITH OUR OUR SALARY
SCHEDULE AS A RESULT OF THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WHEN WE HAD A LOT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF COUNSELORS,
CERTIFIED LIBRARIAN, CERTIFIED NURSES THAT DIDN'T GET THE $5,000 PAY BUMP,
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE USED A LOCAL DOLLARS TO MAKE THAT RIGHT AS WELL. 
          SO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE, AS WELL AS A 3% RAISE FOR OUR PRINCIPALS,
OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, ALL THE STAFF NOT COVERED THAT ARE UNDER PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTS THAT ARE NOT TEACHERS. 
          WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT WE KEPT THAT,
THAT A ADJUSTMENT IN, IN SALARIES IS, IS CLOSE TO AS CLOSE TO PROPORTIONAL AS POSSIBLE. AND AND THEN WE WANTED TO,
TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO OUR LOWEST PAID EMPLOYEES AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED MORE FROM A PERCENTAGE STANDPOINT,
EVEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT LIKE A 5% RAISE FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES DOESN'T NECESSARILY YIELD WHAT A 3% RAISE MADE FOR TEACHERS,
BUT WE FELT LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE MOVING THOSE UP. 
          [01:10:03]
I THINK THE BIG TAKEAWAY IS, IS LIKE, WE'RE NOT DONE,
RIGHT. 
          WE'RE WE'RE TAKING A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO GIVING SALARY INCREASES,
BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE WORK TO BE DONE. 
          IT'S JUST WE CAN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE. AS WE BEGIN TO,
TO SHED SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES, INVEST THAT MONEY, WE HAVE MORE DOLLARS COMING IN THAT ARE LOCALLY. 
          GIVE US MORE FLEXIBILITY. WE'LL DO THAT AS IT RELATES TO AND I'M TALKING LONG. 
          I'M SORRY I WENT TOO DEEP ON THAT AS IT RELATES TO THAT,
THE BLACKOUT DAYS AND THE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE. 
          WE WANT OUR TEACHERS TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM,
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S ABOUT. SO THE BLACKOUT DAYS WE RECOGNIZE AND THERE WILL BE DISCRETION IN THERE THAT ALLOWS THE DISTRICT NOT TO DOCK EMPLOYEES FOR,
FOR MEDICAL ISSUES OR FAMILY ISSUES THAT THAT WILL ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF. 
          BUT WE NEED OUR STAFF TO BE HERE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE ALSO WANT TO DO A BUYBACK SO TEACHERS CAN SELL LOCAL DAYS AT THE SUB RIGHT BACK TO THE
DISTRICT. 
          THAT COULD BE A NICE LITTLE SUMMER VACATION BUMP FOR OUR TEACHING STAFF. 
          AND PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE IS LET'S REWARD OUR TEACHERS THAT RETIRE WITH US. 
          AND AND SO IF THEY MEET THE RETIREMENT INCENTIVES OUTLINED BY MISS KIBODEAUX LAST WEEK,
THEN THEN WE'D LOVE TO GIVE THEM A BIG REWARD AT THEIR END OF THEIR CAREER WITH CARROLL ISD. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GLENN. THANK YOU. MISS MISS. NOT A QUESTION. JUST A COMMENT. I'M SO PROUD OF OUR COMMUNITY FOR SUPPORTING THE
EFFORTS TO GET THE VATRE PASSED, WHICH ALLOWED US TO KEEP OUR PROMISE TO INCREASE SALARIES. 
          AND I KNOW WE HAD ONE SPEAKER TALK ABOUT THOSE INDIVIDUALS,
THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS OF PEOPLE THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DO SALARY INCREASES FOR LAST YEAR THAT WERE HOPEFULLY ABLE TO MAKE UP FOR THAT THIS YEAR. 
          SO I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS,
WELL, WAY OVERDUE. 
          WE HAVE TO BE CONSERVATIVE ABOUT HOW WE MANAGE A BUDGET,
BUT NOW WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF FULFILL A PROMISE THAT WE MADE. 
          SO THANK YOU. AND WE HOPE THAT WE'RE COMING BACK IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN 12 MONTHS
WITH WITH MORE FOR YOU. 
          BUT BUT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR THIS YEAR. SOUNDS GREAT. 
          ANYTHING ELSE FOR MISS KIBODEAUX? OKAY. I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVE THE 2026 2027
COMPENSATION PLAN, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES THE STAFF CALENDAR AND BLACKOUT DATES,
WHICH ALSO INCLUDES THE ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES, BUYBACK OF LOCAL DAYS AND INTENSE AND ATTENDANCE BASED RETIREMENT INCENTIVE AS PROPOSED. 
          MOTION AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU MISS KIBODEAUX. THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 10.4. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF POLICY REVIEW COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          MR. NICKEL. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DOCTOR GLENN AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 
          ON FEBRUARY 4TH AND THE 25TH, THE POLICY REVIEW COMMITTEE WERE ABLE TO CONVENE AND MEET. 
          WE WERE TASKED WITH MEETING ON A COUPLE OF ISSUES. 
          ONE WAS POLICY FNCE LOCAL, WHICH IS IN RESPONSE TO HOUSE BILL 1481. 
          WE KNOW THAT WHENEVER THIS BILL WENT IN AND WE WROTE OUR POLICY,
THAT WE WENT A LITTLE BIT BEYOND THE LANGUAGE OF 1481 TO INCLUDE BUSSES TO AND FROM SCHOOL. AND SO IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE GOING TO,
TO DISCUSS IN VISITING WITH THE COMMITTEE. 
          THEY FELT LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT SAFE TO ASK OUR BUS DRIVERS TO POLICE THAT
GOING TO AND FROM THE SCHOOL THAT WE WANTED THEM TO FOCUS ON GETTING OUR KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND BETWEEN SCHOOL SAFELY. AND SO IT WOULD BE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO REMOVE
THAT LANGUAGE REGARDING BUSSES FROM OUR POLICY FNCE LOCAL. THE SECOND THING THAT WE VISITED ABOUT WAS REGARDING DIGITAL
ASSIGNMENTS AND HOW THEY ARE DISCUSSED IN THE APG. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT,
WHERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE REGARDING WHEN FEEDBACK IS PROVIDED AND WHEN GRADES ARE PUT IN WAS CONSISTENT FOR OUR DIGITAL
SUBMISSIONS, THE SAME AS THE PAPER SUBMISSIONS. AND SO IT'S JUST A SMALL WORDING CHANGE THAT WE HAVE
FOR THE APG RECOMMENDING THAT IT SAYS THAT ALL WORK SHALL BE RETURNED OR MADE AVAILABLE, MEANING THAT FOR SOME OF THOSE DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS,
THEY DON'T PHYSICALLY PRINT OFF AN EXCEL REPORT OR THE THE CANVAS REPORT ON EVERY SINGLE STUDENT AND HAND THOSE OUT INDIVIDUALLY. 
          BUT MAKE SURE THAT THAT FEEDBACK IS MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS IN THE SAME
TIMELINES AS PAPERWORK THAT IS, THAT IS ASSIGNED. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK. 
          AND SO I GUESS I'M OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU,
MR. NICKEL. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AS A BOARD AT LENGTH LAST MONDAY. 
          I KNOW TRUSTEE STACY AND TRUSTEE REECE DID SOME DEEPER DIVES INTO THE APG PORTION OF THAT
AND MAYBE. 
          MAYBE THE BUS TOO. TRUSTEE STACY, DO YOU HAVE SOME COMMENTS YOU WANT TO MAKE ON ON THAT? YES. AND THEN TRUSTEE REECE YOU CAN JUST FILL IN UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE DOES. 
          [01:15:04]
SO OKAY, SO IN TERMS OF 1481. SO THE LAW ACTUALLY STATES THAT CELL PHONES ARE CANNOT BE USED DURING INSTRUCTIONAL TIME. SO THERE IT DOESN'T REALLY INCLUDE THE BUS. 
          THE ONLY THING IS WE DO SHUTTLE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY FOR THE UPPER SCHOOLS. 
          AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT IS INSTRUCTIONAL TIME BECAUSE THAT'S TRANSITION PERIOD. 
          SAME THING WITH LUNCH. SO I THINK, I THINK WE MIGHT NEED TO REVISIT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK
LIKE? ONLY BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT DO BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL. 
          SO I WOULD, I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD DISCUSS IT A LITTLE BIT MORE UP HERE IF WE WANT TO. 
          WHAT DID YOU FIND LOOKING AT THAT? YEAH. WELL,
SO FIRST, I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY WHAT HB 1481 TRULY WANTED US TO DO, WHICH WAS TO ADOPT A POLICY THAT PROHIBITED THE STUDENTS OF USING A PERSONAL COMMUNICATION
DEVICE DURING THE SCHOOL HOUR. 
          AND, AND IT ACTUALLY ALSO SAID SCHOOL PROPERTY,
WHERE INSTRUCTION IS PROVIDED. 
          AND THEY CLEARLY DEFINED THE SCHOOL DAY AS BELL TO BELL. 
          SO THEY DID NOT DEFINE BUSSES, NOR DID THEY TALK ABOUT ASSIGNING ENFORCEMENT OR
RESPONSIBILITY OF MONITORING THE CELL PHONE USAGE ON THE BUSSES. WELL, AND I LOVE, I LOVE WITH WHAT ONE OF THE SPEAKERS SAID. 
          I LOVE DOING SOME SORT OF INITIATIVE, MAYBE TALKING WITH SOME PRINCIPALS,
ESPECIALLY OF THOSE YOUNGER GRADES. 
          IF YOU'RE IF YOU DON'T NEED A CELL PHONE, DON'T BRING IT TO SCHOOL. 
          I DO LOVE THAT FOR YOU KNOW, FOR THE LITTLE ONES,
BUT WE ALSO DO STILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES FOR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR OR INAPPROPRIATE USE OF DEVICES. EVEN IF IT IS ON THE BUS. SO WE DO STILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          MAY I JUST ASK A QUESTION? DID AND I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I WAS NOT HERE LAST WEEK. 
          SO DID THE INCEPTION OF THIS COME FROM LIKE CONCERN FROM THE BUS DRIVERS AND SAFETY? DID IT COME FROM FAMILIES WHO WERE WANTING, YOU KNOW,
THEIR, THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE ACCESS TO DEVICES? LIKE WHERE, WHERE DID THIS, THIS, THIS ORIGINATED WITH FAMILIES THAT WERE I GUESS STUDENTS
WERE GETTING DISCIPLINED. 
          STUDENTS WERE GETTING DISCIPLINED FOR HAVING,
YOU KNOW, THE BUS DRIVER CAUGHT THEM WITH THEIR PHONE OUT ON A BUS. 
          AND AND SO THEY WERE GETTING CONSEQUENCES THAT THE PARENTS FELT LIKE WERE DISRUPTING THEIR
ABILITY TO ACTUALLY GET INSTRUCTION DURING THE DAY BECAUSE YOU GET IN TROUBLE ON THE BUS AND THEN IT BECOMES A CONSEQUENCE AT SCHOOL. 
          AND SO THE PARENTS FELT LIKE WE WERE, WE WERE EXTREME IN THE THE LEVELING OF THE POLICY OR
THE LEVELING OF THE LAW. 
          THE LAW SAID INSTRUCTIONAL DAY. AND SO THE PARENTS WERE UPSET THAT HE'D COME FORWARD,
THAT THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY. 
          AND IT WAS PARENTS SAYING, HEY, I WANTED TO MY CHILD TO TELL ME WHEN THEY I COULD EXPECT
HIM HOME OR I WAS REACHING OUT TO MY KID TO SAY, HEY, THIS OR THAT. THEY WANTED TO COMMUNICATE AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY WITH THEIR CHILD. 
          AND, AND I THINK SPECIFICALLY, IT WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE THE CHILD LIKE PULLED OUT THEIR
PHONE AS THEY WERE GETTING ON THE BUS TO TALK TO THEIR PARENTS TO SEE IF THEY NEEDED TO RIDE THE BUS HOME. AND SO BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH ADULTS,
SOMETIMES IT'S SOME PEOPLE SHOW HAVE A GRAY AREA, SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A GRAY AREA. RIGHT? AND SO IF THE RULE SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE IT AND
YOU STEP FOOT ON THAT BUS AND YOU'VE GOT IT ON YOU, THEN YOU GET IN TROUBLE. BUT THERE ARE KIDS THAT ARE IN THE CAR RIDER LINE WITH MOM AND
DAD THAT THEY HAVE THEIR PHONE OUT, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GETTING ON A BUS. 
          SO SCHOOL OUT, SCHOOL IS OUT. THEY WALK OUT OF THE BUILDING,
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STANDING IN THE CAR RIDER LINE GETTING READY TO HOP IN WITH MOM AND DAD WITH THEIR PHONE, KIDS THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING,
BUT THEY'RE GETTING READY TO GET ON A BUS. WE'RE GETTING IN TROUBLE. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE OUTCRY ORIGINATED. AND SO IT WAS KICKED TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE. 
          AND THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION. BRYAN, WOULD YOU TALK ABOUT WHO IS ON THE POLICY
COMMITTEE? JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, THIS IS NOT LIKE ME AND YOU AND CHASE HAVING A CONVERSATION. SURE. I WANT TO SAY POLICY REVIEW HAS 20 TO 22,
MAYBE MEMBERS SOMEWHERE IN THAT VICINITY. 
          WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ADMINISTRATORS, A COUPLE OF TEACHERS,
AND THE REST IS MADE UP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          DID YOU ALL RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS FROM BUS DRIVERS? I DID, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO GO. I ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT
AND A LONGTIME BUS DRIVER THAT WE HAVE HERE, AND THEY STATED THAT CONTINUOUSLY HAVING TO REMIND THE KIDS TO PUT AWAY THEIR PHONES IS A
DISTRACTION. 
          SO A DISTRACTION FROM DRIVING, JUST A DRIVING,
EVEN IF THEY'RE LOOKING UP IN THEIR, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S TWO MIRRORS UP THERE THAT THEY CAN SEE ALL THE WAY BACK, BUT EVEN JUST DOING THAT,
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IS A DISTRACTION AND HAVING TO DO THAT. 
          AND WHAT I GATHERED IN TALKING TO THEM ALSO IS THAT I THINK THAT THEY HAVE MAYBE RULES OF
CONDUCT THAT THEY ALSO HAVE TO DO AND WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO. 
          AND THIS FALLS OUTSIDE OF SOME OF THAT. SO THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN CONSEQUENCES FOR DISCIPLINE
ON A BUS, RIGHT? IF A KID ACTS OUT. AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S ANYTHING NEW TO OUR DRIVERS. 
          [01:20:04]
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH TO MOVE TO DISCUSSION OF OUR NEXT ITEM,
OR DO WE THINK THAT WE NEED TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE A LITTLE MORE? BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION ON THAT, PRESIDENT BRYAN. 
          I JUST LIKE OUR PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A STATE LAW. 
          AND JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT UNFUNDED MANDATES WHERE THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO GET EVERY SEAT, NEEDS TO HAVE THESE THREE POINT HARNESSES AND IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. 
          LITERALLY, IT WAS $600,000 THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. 
          THAT'S AN UNFUNDED MANDATE, RIGHT? THIS IS A LAW THAT HAS GRAY AREA IN IT. 
          AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE I WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO SENT US EMAILS ON
THIS, BOTH PRO AND CON, AND I ALSO THANK ALL OF OUR PUBLIC SPEAKERS TODAY BECAUSE YOU BRING UP
GREAT ISSUES. 
          I CAN'T STAND THESE THINGS FOR KIDS. I THINK THEY'RE JUST ABSOLUTELY DESTRUCTIVE. 
          I WAS VERY HAPPY THAT WE GOT THE STATE DID SOMETHING,
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY LEFT A LITTLE GRAY THERE. 
          SO IF YOU COULD GIVE US GRACE TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT,
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE GRAY, BUT WE'RE DOING IT WITH YOUR HELP. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THAT SAID, I DO HAVE A MOTION I'D LIKE TO PUT FORTH ONE MORE THING. 
          SURE. SO I WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS HAD DONE WITH THEIR CELL PHONE POLICY. 
          AND SO I DIDN'T LOOK JUST AT OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS,
BUT I LOOKED AT SOME OF THE LARGER SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT TEXAS AND SOME OF THE THE BIGGER CITIES. AND I FOUND THAT IN LARGE WE CREATED THE MOST DIFFICULT POLICY TO FOLLOW. 
          SOME SCHOOLS ACTUALLY PUT IN THEIR POLICY THAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR PHONES ON
THE BUS AND OTHERS, THE MAJORITY JUST LEFT IT BLANK. IT'S VERY AMBIGUOUS IS HOW IT WAS. 
          BUT I THINK THE POINT WAS A VERY GOOD ONE. AND THAT WAS. 
          BUT WE ALSO HAVE SHUTTLES AND MAYBE YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WHAT OTHER ISD HAS THESE YOU KNOW,
DURING INSTRUCTIONAL BELL TO BELL WE HAVE SHUTTLES. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO HAVE A POLICY AND THAT'S WHY IT'S EVEN A LITTLE MORE GRAY FOR
THAT. 
          WELL, AND IT DOES SAY FROM BELL TO BELL, MEANING THE FIRST BELL OF THE DAY,
THE LAST BELL OF THE DAY, INCLUDING PASSING PERIODS AND LUNCHES. SO THE BUS IS PASSING,
PERIOD. 
          THIS MAY NOT BE READY TO VOTE ON IT. WE PROBABLY NEED TO AMEND THAT. 
          AND SO IF THAT'S THE SENTIMENT OF THE GROUP,
WE CAN MOVE ON TO TALK ABOUT THE APG NOW, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME,
A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH ON THIS AND MORE DISCUSSION. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW, WE'RE CHANGING IT. I MEAN,
WE'RE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO DISCUSS. WE'RE ALL GOOD WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. WE MOVE ON TO THE APG. DO YOU WANT TO START? ON THAT ONE. I STILL THINK THAT THAT ONE NEEDS SOME REVIEW AS WELL. 
          AND LOOKING AT THE POLICY, WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE THE GRADING POLICY IS
LISTED. 
          AND IT IS CONFUSING. AND I'M STILL NAVIGATING ALL THAT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF IN OUR COMMITTEE WE ACTUALLY CAME TO THE RIGHT CONCLUSION. 
          I THINK IT NEEDS MORE. RIGHT. AND THEN I KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WORDING FOR MADE
AVAILABLE IS FOR DIGITAL, BUT IT'S NOT SPECIFIC. IT'S NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH TO ME. 
          AND I KNOW THE POLICY COMMITTEE WAS BASICALLY IN FULL AGREEMENT OF THESE,
BUT I THINK THERE IS STILL A LITTLE BIT OF GRAY AREA ON MADE AVAILABLE. 
          WHAT IS THAT FOR? BECAUSE THEN IT SAYS IS AVAILABLE SHALL BE AVAILABLE. 
          IT JUST IT ISN'T CLARIFYING. WHAT MADE MAY BE AVAILABLE IS FOR IF THAT'S FOR ONLINE AND
HOW PARENTS NAVIGATE THAT. 
          AND THEN SOME OF THE CHANGES AND I KNOW IT SAYS IN HERE MAKING IT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS FOR PARENTS TO NAVIGATE THROUGH,
INCLUDING STUDENT HANDBOOK, APG LOCAL POLICY. AND IT JUST, IT ISN'T IT ISN'T CLEAR ACROSS THE BOARD ON WHAT SOME OF
THIS IS. 
          AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO LOOK FOR IT LIKE WE, WE NEED TO BE ADDING SKYWARD IN THERE SO THAT
PARENTS KNOW WHAT A FAMILY ACCESS GRADEBOOK IS. 
          SOME PEOPLE WOULDN'T KNOW THAT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU MOVED HERE. SO I THINK I THINK THIS ONE
NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE LESS GRAY AS WELL, JUST IN A COUPLE SPECIFIC AREAS. I AGREE WITH YOU. 
          TRUSTEE STACY. THAT SAID PRESIDENT BRYAN I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD POSTPONE ACTION ON THIS
ITEM TO A FUTURE BOARD MEETING. 
          SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU,
MR. NICKEL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 10.5.

SURPLUS AND DISPOSE OF THE EASEMENTS FOR THE EXISTING CELLULAR COMMUNICATION TOWERS. 
          MR. PARK. PRESIDENT BRYAN, TRUSTEES, DOCTOR GLENN. 
          I THINK ABOUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE BEGAN DISCUSSIONS ON THE 
          [01:25:06]
OFFLOADING OF OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS. AND SO AND ALSO AS THE LAND CONTRACT WITH THE
CITY CAME ABOUT IT BECAME APPARENT THAT WE HAD TO TRANSACT TO GET TO SELL THE, THE RIGHTS TO THE TOWER BACK TO THE LEASE MANAGEMENT COMPANY. 
          IN ORDER TO FINALIZE THE DEAL ON THE PROPERTY. 
          AND SO JUST WITH THAT BACKGROUND, I'M SEEKING APPROVAL TODAY FOR THE DECLARATION OF THE
RIGHTS TO THE EASEMENTS OF THE CELLULAR TOWERS AT THE OLD DRAGON STADIUM PROPERTY AND AT THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO

          WE WERE THINKING THIS COULD COST THE DISTRICT 2 TO $3 MILLION. 
          AND SO TO FLIP THAT AND TURN IT INTO YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING THAT IS, IS LIKELY GOING TO BE REVENUE GENERATING FOR, FOR CAROLL IS, IS PRETTY REMARKABLE. SO WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S,
