THANK YOU, YOU MAY BE SEATED. MY NAME IS ETHAN AND I AM IN THIRD GRADE. WHEN OLD UNION OPENED ITS DOORS IN THE FALL OF 2002, ONE OF ITS FIRST TRADITIONS CREATED WAS OUR SCHOOL SONG WRITTEN BY OUR ORIGINAL MUSIC TEACHER, ANGELA MCARTHUR. FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, THIS SONG HAS CLOSED EVERY KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FOURTH GRADE MUSIC PROGRAM AND HAS BEEN PART OF THE HEART OF OUR CAMPUS.

ITS WORDS TELL THE STORY OF WHO WE ARE AS A SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

AS WE WALK THROUGH THESE HALLS, THERE'S A WARM DEEP WITHIN.

THOSE WORDS CAPTURE WHAT OLD UNION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PLACE OF BELONGING, CARING TEACHERS, MEANINGFUL FRIENDSHIPS, AND ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN TO GROW.

THIS SONG REMINDS US THAT THOUGH OUR TIME HERE TOGETHER IS JUST FOR A WHILE, THE TIMES THAT WE SHARE WILL ALWAYS BRING SMILES.

AND NOWHERE IS THAT MORE EVIDENT THAN EVERY SPRING WHEN OUR GRADUATING SENIORS RETURN TO WALK THESE HALLS ONE LAST TIME, PROUDLY SINGING EVERY WORD FROM MEMORY. AT OLD UNION THIS IS MORE THAN A SCHOOL SONG.

IT IS A TRADITION, A LEGACY, AND A REMINDER THAT.

[00:05:05]

IT WAS OUR HONOR TO SHARE THIS TRADITION WITH YOU TODAY.

HE DID THAT FROM MEMORY. [APPLAUSE]. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID THAT.

I WAS GOING TO COME UP AND THEY ARE GOING TO PERFORM THE OLD UNION SONG. JUST ONE SONG FOR Y'ALL. AND THEN OLD UNION IS DONE.

THANK YOU, MR. FIKE. MISS DUFF'S MAKING HER WAY IN.

AS YOU WALK THROUGH THESE HALLS, THERE'S A WARM WORKING WITH AND FOR THE TEACHERS WHO CARE AND ALL OF OUR FRIENDS. OLD UNION IS WHERE WE TAKE WHAT WE KNOW, BUILD OUR KNOWLEDGE AND CONTINUE TO GROW. O ORIGINAL. L LEARNING ALWAYS. D DEDICATION IN THE BIG AND SMALL WAYS.

U UNITY. N NURTURING. I INTELLIGENCE. O OPPORTUNITIES.

N NEW IDEAS. OUR TIME HERE TOGETHER IS JUST FOR A WHILE.

THE TIMES THAT WE SHARE WILL ALWAYS BRING SMILES.

WE'RE HERE FOR EACH OTHER. AND WE ALL DO OUR PART.

OLD UNION GIVES US A GREAT START. O ORIGINAL.

L LEARNING ALWAYS. D DEDICATION IN THE BIG AND SMALL WAYS.

U UNITY. N NURTURING. I INTELLIGENCE. O OPPORTUNITIES.

N NEW IDEAS. O L D U N I O N. OLD UNION BOARD A GREAT PLACE TO BEGIN. [APPLAUSE].

YOU CAN STAY FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. HE'S NEVER DONE IT.

[00:10:10]

IT IS. IT'S A GREAT SONG. YEAH.

I KNOW. THAT WAS GREAT, THANK YOU, PARENTS, FOR BEING HERE.

AND THAT'S OUR LAST CAMPUS OF THE MONTH PRESENTATION UNTIL NEXT FALL.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO END ON OLD UNION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND I FORGET THE NAME OF THE STUDENT THAT MEMORIZED THAT WHOLE SPEECH.

I ASKED HIM HOW LONG IT TOOK HIM, AND HE SAID A WHOLE WEEK.

SO. HE DID A GOOD JOB. IT TOOK ME THREE WEEKS TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

SO YOU GUYS ARE WELCOME TO STAY. OR YOU CAN LEAVE.

WE HAVE A RIVETING MEETING TO GO THROUGH TONIGHT.

AND SO WE ARE GOING TO START WITH OUR FIRST RECOGNITION AND IT'S OUR INSPIRE EXCELLENCE AWARDS.

[4. RECOGNITIONS]

SO ITEM NUMBER 4.2 IS BOARD RECOGNITION INSPIRE EXCELLENCE TEACHERS OF THE MONTH.

OUR FIRST PRINCIPAL TO PRESENT IS DR. DAVIS. GOOD EVENING.

IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW THAT. GOOD EVENING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT BRYAN AND DR.

GLENN. IT IS A TRUE HONOR TO RECOGNIZE SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY LIVES OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO INSPIRE EXCELLENCE, MISS RACHEL HINZMAN. MISS HINZMAN IS A KIND TEACHER WHO LEAVES A LASTING IMPRINT NOT ONLY ON HER STUDENTS ACADEMIC GROWTH, BUT ON HER, THEIR CONFIDENCE, THEIR CHARACTER AND JOY FOR LEARNING.

SHE LEADS WITH PATIENCE AND KINDNESS, BUT WHAT TRULY SETS HER APART IS THE WAY SHE WHOLEHEARTEDLY INVESTS IN EVERY CHILD, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. SHE DOESN'T JUST TEACH HER STUDENTS, SHE CELEBRATES THEM.

MISS HENSMAN MAKES EVERY CHILD FEEL VALUED AND IMPORTANT.

AND SHE DOESN'T STOP THERE, SHE RESPONDS, ENCOURAGES, AND UPLIFTS ONE STUDENT AT A TIME, AND HER IMPACT IS DEEPLY FELT IN THE CONFIDENCE HER STUDENTS CARRY. BEYOND ACADEMICS, SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, RESEARCHING STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT A LEFT-HANDED WRITER, MEETING WITH FAMILIES OFFERING THOUGHTFUL AND PERSONALIZED SOLUTIONS, SHE BUILDS A CLASSROOM WHERE EVERY CHILD FEELS KNOWN.

SHE LISTENS AND TRULY LISTENS AND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR EACH TO SHINE.

WHAT MAKES MISS HINZMAN EXTRAORDINARY IS THE CULTURE SHE CREATES.

HER CLASSROOM FEELS LIKE HOME, FILLED WITH JOY, RESPECT, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND CONNECTION.

SHE TEACHES KINDNESS AND CONFIDENCE, AND PERHAPS ONE OF THE GREATEST TESTAMENTS TO HER IMPACT IS HER STUDENTS DON'T JUST SUCCEED IN HER CLASSROOM, THEY CARRY HER INFLUENCE WITH THEM. THEY LIGHT UP WHEN THEY SPEAK ABOUT HER AND SEEK HER OUT LONG AFTER THEY'VE LEFT HER CLASS.

MISS HINSON EXEMPLIFIES EXCELLENCE IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.

IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE THAT WE RECOGNIZE MISS HINZMAN AS TRULY DESERVING OF THE INSPIRE EXCELLENCE AWARD. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE]. SHE HAD LOTS OF PAGES HERE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, GOD. I'M NOT WEARING GREEN.

ALL RIGHT, MISS LEWIS, YOU'RE UP NEXT.

GOOD EVENING, DR. GLENN, PRESIDENT BRYAN, AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I LOVE THAT THE MONTH OF MAY GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE VICTORIA CASTILLO AS OUR INSPIRE EXCELLENCE TEACHER OF THE MONTH.

[00:15:09]

AND SO HER FAMILY IS HERE TO CELEBRATE. [APPLAUSE]. SO I THINK IT'S PRETTY AMAZING THAT AT THE END OF HER VERY FIRST YEAR AS A TEACHER, SHE IS ALREADY BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THE PASSION, DEDICATION, AND HEART THAT SHE POURS INTO HER CLASSROOM EVERY SINGLE DAY.

VICTORIA SERVES AS ONE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN THE STRUCTURED LEARNING CLASSROOM.

AND YOU MAY ACTUALLY REMEMBER THAT SHE STOOD BESIDE ME EARLIER AT ONE OF THE OTHER BOARD MEETINGS.

WHEN I FIRST MET VICTORIA, I WAS IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO HER PASSION, HER EXCITEMENT FOR STUDENTS, AND THE SERIOUSNESS IN WHICH SHE APPROACHED HER ROLE AS AN EDUCATOR.

ONE OF THE NOMINATION LETTERS DESCRIBED VICTORIA PERFECTLY BY SAYING THAT SHE IS DEEPLY DEDICATED TO BOTH THE ACADEMIC AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF HER STUDENTS.

WHAT MAKES VICTORIA ESPECIALLY REMARKABLE IS THAT SHE UNDERSTANDS EDUCATION DOES NOT STOP AT THE CLASSROOM DOOR.

SHE ACTIVELY CREATES REAL WORLD LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HER STUDENTS THROUGH COMMUNITY BASED INSTRUCTION EXPERIENCES HELPING STUDENTS LEARN SKILLS LIKE GROCERY SHOPPING, COOKING, VOLUNTEERING, AND NAVIGATING THE COMMUNITY WITH CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE.

HER STUDENTS HAVE VOLUNTEERED AT THE SOUTHLAKE PUBLIC LIBRARY, PACKED GROCERY BAGS FOR METRO MEALS ON WHEELS, VISITED LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND PARTICIPATED IN VOCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT HELP THEM BUILD BOTH SKILLS AND PRIDE IN THEMSELVES.

SHE ALSO GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO CREATE INDIVIDUALIZED OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE JOY AND BELONGING.

ONE FAMILY SHARED A STORY ABOUT HOW VICTORIA COORDINATED WITH MR. DAVID LOWN TO ENSURE THEIR DAUGHTER COULD CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN JAZZ BAND DURING HER SENIOR YEAR IN A WAY THAT WAS INCLUSIVE, MEANINGFUL AND SUPPORTIVE. THE STORY SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT WHO VICTORIA IS AS AN EDUCATOR.

SHE LOOKS FOR WAYS TO SAY YES TO STUDENTS. SHE LOOKS FOR WAYS TO HELP STUDENTS FEEL CONNECTED, VALUED, AND SUCCESSFUL. HER STUDENTS ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER, AND HONESTLY, SO DO WE.

SHE HAS BUILT WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION.

PARENTS CONSISTENTLY MENTION HER COMMUNICATION, RESPONSIVENESS, AND WILLINGNESS TO SUPPORT HER STUDENTS FAR BEYOND THE SCHOOL DAY.

I LOVE COLLABORATING WITH HER AND WATCHING HER CONTINUOUSLY CREATE A CLASSROOM THAT IS A SPACE OF LEARNING, LOVE AND WHERE STUDENTS FEEL SAFE TO TAKE RISKS AND TO GROW.

THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY FOR ANY TEACHER, BUT ESPECIALLY SOMEONE JUST BEGINNING THEIR CAREER.

VICTORIA CASTILLO REPRESENTS EXACTLY WHY THIS AWARD EXISTS.

SHE'S CHANGING LIVES, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES, AND REMINDING ALL OF US WHAT EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION LOOKS LIKE.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING VICTORIA AS OUR INSPIRE EXCELLENCE RECIPIENT.

CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE].

ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS ITEM 4.3., AND THAT'S INSPIRE EXCELLENCE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

MR. PARK. GOOD EVENING. SORRY. MY REMARKS DON'T MEET THE LENGTH REQUIREMENT, BUT IT'S FROM THE HEART REGARDLESS.

SO I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE ALICIA CAMPBELL, OUR PURCHASING MANAGER, AS MAY.

THE MONTH OF MAY IS INSPIRE EXCELLENT EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

[00:20:03]

AND SO I THINK ALICIA, YOU KNOW, EMBODIES THAT SO WELL.

I THINK AT LEAST THREE CAMPUSES I VISITED THIS YEAR, SOMEONE'S COME UP AND SAY, HEY, WILL YOU PLEASE JUST, YOU KNOW, SAY, SAY A THANKS TO ALICIA FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH WHATEVER.

AND SO YOU KNOW, IT'S THE LAST MONTH OF THIS YEAR DOING THIS, BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE IS TRULY DESERVING.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE IN MAY TO AWARD HER WITH THIS INSPIRE EXCELLENCE AWARD.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, MISS CAMPBELL. [APPLAUSE].

MR. FIKE, YOU'RE UP. OKAY. AFTER SEEING ETHAN MEMORIZE HIS SPEECH.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS COMING UP HERE, SO. NO, I'M THRILLED TO RECOGNIZE MEREDITH MARSHALL TONIGHT.

TODAY, WE'RE EXCITED TO RECOGNIZE OLD UNION SUPER SUB OF THE MONTH MEREDITH MARSHALL.

SOME SUBSTITUTES FILL IN FOR A DAY, BUT MEREDITH HAS TRULY BECOME A PART OF THE OLD UNION FAMILY.

FOR MANY YEARS, SHE'S BEEN SOMEONE WE CAN COUNT ON RELIABLE, FLEXIBLE, AND ALWAYS WILLING TO STEP IN WHERE NEEDED.

THIS YEAR, SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND BY TAKING ON TWO LONG TERM SUB ASSIGNMENTS, SERVING IN FIRST GRADE IN THE FALL, AND KINDERGARTEN THIS SPRING WITH INCREDIBLE DEDICATION, PATIENCE, AND HEART.

WHAT MAKES MEREDITH SO SPECIAL IS THAT SHE SIMPLY DOESN'T JUST COVER A CLASS.

SHE CREATES A CLASSROOM COMMUNITY. SHE BUILDS GENUINE RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS, HELPS THEM FEEL SAFE, SUPPORTED, AND LOVED. AND OUR STAFF KNOW THAT THEY CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HER WHEN COVERAGE IS NEEDED.

SHE IS PROFESSIONAL, ADAPTABLE, CALM, UNDER PRESSURE, AND ALWAYS BRINGS A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

MEREDITH'S SERVANT HEART AND COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS HAVE MADE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON OUR CAMPUS.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING AND THANKING MEREDITH MARSHALL ON A WELL DESERVED OLD UNION SUPER SUB OF THE MONTH RECOGNITION.

CARROLL ISD HAS MAINTAINED THAT THE PROPOSED REDEFINITION OF SEX FROM XX AND XY TO INCLUDE GENDER IDENTITY, CONFLICTS WITH DISTRICT POLICY AND CURRENT TEXAS LAW.

LAWS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY OUR FEMALE STUDENTS AND ATHLETES.

TONIGHT, THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER A STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL OF THE APPEAL BEFORE THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.

APPROVAL WOULD MAKE THE LOWER COURT'S RULING FINAL, INVALIDATING THE 2024 TITLE IX REGULATIONS, AS APPLIED IN THIS CASE. THIS OUTCOME REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT LEGAL VICTORY FOR CARROLL ISD FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE ENTIRE NATION, AND FOR THOSE COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF TITLE IX, WHICH WAS TO ENSURE WOMEN AND GIRLS HAD EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, EXPANDED OPPORTUNITIES IN ATHLETICS, AND EXTENDED PROTECTIONS IN SEX BASED DISCRIMINATION LIKE THE PREVENTION FROM BOYS ACCESSING OUR DAUGHTERS BATHROOMS, LOCKER ROOMS AND COMPETING ON THEIR ATHLETIC TEAMS. CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS BOARD AND TO DR. GLENN FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.

THANK YOU. NOW, AS WE CLOSE OUT THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SEVERAL KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE PAST FIVE YEARS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS BOARD AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT.

FIRST, IN ACADEMICS. DESPITE DECREASING ENROLLMENT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, OUR DISTRICT PRODUCED 155 NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARS COMPARED TO 97 IN THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS, A 60% INCREASE, DEMONSTRATING A SUSTAINED COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN POSITIONING CARROLL ISD AMONG THE TOP PERFORMING DISTRICTS IN THE NATION.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN READING AND MATH RANKS THE HIGHEST IN TARRANT COUNTY AND AMONGST THE HIGHEST IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, REFLECTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR TEACHERS CURRICULUM AND A CULTURE THAT PRIORITIZES STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

EVERY CAMPUS IN CARROLL ISD HAS EARNED AN A RATING FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY, AN INDICATOR OF CONSISTENT DISTRICT

[01:00:07]

WE HAVE WON THE UIL LONE STAR CUP TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, NEVER FINISHING BELOW THIRD.

AND OUR ON TRACK TO WIN AGAIN THIS YEAR, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO TEN TITLES, THE MOST OF ANY 6A SCHOOL IN TEXAS.

REINFORCING OUR TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN ACADEMICS, BUT ACROSS ATHLETICS AND EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS. NOW, IN FINANCE, WE HAVE BALANCED THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR WHILE MAINTAINING STRONG RESERVES IN OUR FUND BALANCE, DEMONSTRATING DISCIPLINED FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND LONG-TERM FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

WE HAVE REDUCED THE OVERALL TAX RATE BY 27% SINCE 2021.

THIS SUMMER, WE PLAN TO BE BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND SET THE LOWEST SCHOOL RATE, LOWEST TAX RATE, EXCUSE ME, IN TARRANT COUNTY.

DELIVERING MEANINGFUL TAX RELIEF TO OUR COMMUNITY WHILE MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES.

BY AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, WE WILL HAVE REDUCED BOND DEBT BY 236 MILLION.

APPROXIMATELY 50% FROM 2021. SAVING TAXPAYERS OF OUR COMMUNITY OVER $80 MILLION AND ARE ON TRACK TO BE VIRTUALLY DEBT FREE BY 2031, A DISTINCTION UNMATCHED AMONGST 6A DISTRICTS IN TEXAS.

PLACING CARROLL ISD IN A UNIQUELY STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION FOR OUR FUTURE.

OUR COMMUNITY APPROVED A VATRE THIS PAST NOVEMBER, ALLOWING US TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL COMPENSATION INCREASES, INCLUDING A $2,000 STIPEND FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF, AN IMPORTANT STEP IN VALUING AND RETAINING THE HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATORS WHO DRIVE STUDENT SUCCESS. MOST NOTABLY, MOODY'S INVESTOR SERVICE AWARDED CARROLL ISD ITS HIGHEST RATING OF AAA, REFLECTING EXCEPTIONAL FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND ACHIEVEMENT REACHED BY ONLY A SELECT NUMBER OF DISTRICTS STATEWIDE, VALIDATING THE BOARD'S LONG TERM FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP AND CREDIBILITY IN THE MARKET.

WHILE STRONG FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP IS ESSENTIAL OUR GREATEST INVESTMENT WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR PEOPLE, AND THAT INVESTMENT IS CLEARLY PAYING DIVIDENDS ACROSS OUR DISTRICT.

SO MOVING ON TO PERSONNEL, WE HAVE ACHIEVED SOME OF THE HIGHEST TEACHER RETENTION RATES IN NORTH TEXAS AND ACROSS THE STATE, DEMONSTRATING A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT WHERE EDUCATORS FEEL SUPPORTED, VALUED AND COMMITTED TO STAYING IN CARROLL ISD.

LAST YEAR, WE AVERAGED 60 APPLICANTS, 6 0, 60 APPLICANTS PER OPEN TEACHING POSITION, ALLOWING US TO BE HIGHLY SELECTIVE AND ENSURE WE HIRE THE BEST EDUCATORS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AS OF TODAY, WHICH IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE HAVE ONLY THREE OPEN TEACHING POSITIONS OUT OF 186 POSITIONS ACROSS OUR FIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPUSES, AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT REFLECTS BOTH STRONG LEADERSHIP AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL AND A STRONG WORKPLACE CULTURE.

COLLECTIVELY, THESE METRICS SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF WORKING IN OUR DISTRICT AND REINFORCE THAT CARROLL ISD IS NOT ONLY A DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES, BUT ALSO FOR TOP TIER EDUCATORS. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GREAT TEACHERS DRIVE GREAT OUTCOMES.

THESE PERSONAL, PERSONNEL STRENGTHS ARE A DIRECT REASON WHY OUR STUDENTS CONTINUE TO ACHIEVE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS ACADEMICALLY, ATHLETICALLY AND IN ALL AREAS OF STUDENT SUCCESS.

NOW, MY LAST CATEGORY, SAFETY AND SECURITY. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DISTRICT HISTORY EVERY CAMPUS PASSED THE TEA INTRUDER AUDIT, SIGNIFYING THAT OUR SAFETY PROTOCOLS ARE NOT ONLY IN PLACE, BUT CONSISTENTLY EXECUTED ACROSS ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION GOES TO PRINCIPAL SHATINA LEWIS AT CARROLL SENIOR HIGH FOR PASSING THREE AUDITS THIS YEAR, MARKING THE FIRST TIME THAT CAMPUS, THAT CAMPUS HAS EVER PASSED AN AUDIT DEMONSTRATING HER FOCUSED LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO SAFETY.

[01:05:09]

AND THANK YOU TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, INTERMEDIATE AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED ALL OF THEIR TEA SAFETY AUDITS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, BECAUSE CREATING A SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REMAINS ONE OF OUR HIGHEST RESPONSIBILITIES.

SO WHILE THESE HIGHLIGHTS REPRESENT ONLY A PORTION OF OUR PROGRESS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THEY REFLECT A CONSISTENT THEME STRONG LEADERSHIP, DISCIPLINED EXECUTION, AND A COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

AT A TIME WHEN MANY DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE ARE FACING CHALLENGES CARROLL ISD CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD AND GET STRONGER EACH YEAR. A STRONG SCHOOL DISTRICT DRIVES A STRONG COMMUNITY AND OUR COMMUNITY IS THRIVING AS A RESULT. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT. THANK YOU.

[9. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

DR. GLENN. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ME MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

THAT'S THAT'S A REMARKABLE REPORT. AND WHEN PEOPLE ASK WHY CARROLL ISD IS THE NUMBER ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND ONE OF THE TOP PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE NATION. THAT'S THE LIST THAT YOU READ THEM.

AS WE CLOSE OUT ANOTHER REMARKABLE SCHOOL YEAR HERE IN CARROLL ISD AND PREPARE FRIDAY NIGHT TO POP SOME FIREWORKS AND CELEBRATE WITH OUR SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT ON THE TREMENDOUS STRIDES WE HAVE MADE TOGETHER AS A DISTRICT.

THIS YEAR, OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED WHAT MAKES CARROLL ISD EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMICALLY.

BOTH OUR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY CAMPUSES CONTINUE TO PERFORM WELL ABOVE STATE AND NATIONAL NORMS. THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE DEDICATION OF OUR TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, SUPPORT STAFF, STUDENTS, AND THE FAMILIES WHO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THIS BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP DURING A CHALLENGING FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT FOR TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

AS PRESIDENT BRYAN OUTLINED IN HIS REPORT, DISTRICTS ACROSS TEXAS CONTINUE TO FACE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HURDLES, MANY WHILE EXPERIENCING ENROLLMENT DECLINES. DESPITE THOSE CHALLENGES, THIS BOARD HAS REMAINED FOCUSED ON PROTECTING THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE AND INVESTING IN THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE CARROLL ISD SPECIAL.

THIS BOARD HAS ALSO MADE STRATEGIC FINANCIAL DECISIONS THAT DEMONSTRATE STRONG STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER RESOURCES.

ONE EXAMPLE IS THE DISTRICT'S DECISION TO UTILIZE A RETAINER PROGRAM WITH JORDAN LAW FIRM.

IN THE FIRST MONTH ALONE, THE DISTRICT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE ACCUMULATED MORE THAN $3,000 IN BILLABLE LEGAL FEES.

BUT UNDER THE RETAINER STRUCTURE, THOSE COSTS DID NOT RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES TO OUR TAXPAYERS.

SMART, PROACTIVE DECISIONS LIKE THIS MATTER, AND THEY ADD UP OVER TIME TO HELP BETTER POSITION OUR DISTRICT FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS. TO OUR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR MAKING CARROLL ISD SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE.

YOUR SUPPORT, PARTNERSHIP, AND BELIEF IN OUR SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE.

AND TO OUR STAFF, THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING SCHOOL YEAR.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO ONE ANOTHER IS WHAT DRIVES THE SUCCESS THAT WE CELEBRATE TONIGHT.

WE HAVE MUCH TO BE PROUD OF AND EVEN MORE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

I WAS ON CAMPUSES ALL DAY TODAY, AND I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING AND A LOT OF COUNTDOWN GOING ON.

AND JUST TO KEEP PART OF THE THE TRADITION OF COUNTING DOWN, THERE'S ONLY 87 DAYS TO THE START OF SCHOOL.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE. HANG IN, HANG IN. THANK YOU GUYS.

GO, DRAGONS. MR. PRESIDENT, THAT IS YOUR REPORT FOR MAY.

THANK YOU, DR. GLENN. GREAT REPORT AS ALWAYS.

[10. INFORMATION]

10.1 IS CHILD NUTRITION DEPARTMENT REPORT. MISS DODGE, YOUR UP.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY.

I'M DOING AN OVERVIEW OF OUR DEPARTMENT. SO I'LL GO THROUGH THE FIRST SLIDE.

WE ARE STRUCTURED AS THE DIRECTOR, AS MYSELF A SECRETARY AND A FOOD SERVICE MANAGERS AT ALL THE SITES.

[01:10:03]

AND WE HAVE ABOUT 34 FOOD SERVICE WORKERS WITH TWO OPEN FTES.

OUR FAVORITE DRAGON LUNCHES ARE, PRIMARY ONE IS SPAGHETTI DAY, OF COURSE, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.

AND THE NEXT WOULD BE THE PENNE AND MEATBALL DAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORANGE CHICKEN? I KNOW IT'S STILL A TOP CONTENDER.

IT'S JUST THE PASTA DAY WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH.

AND THEY ALSO STILL ARE LOVING THE BREAKFAST FOR LUNCH.

OF COURSE, THE CLASSIC CHICKEN NUGGET DAY. WE SWITCHED TO A POPCORN CHICKEN, WHICH THEY'RE ENJOYING. SO WE'RE DOING THAT.

CHEESEBURGER DAY. OF COURSE, THE INFAMOUS ORANGE CHICKEN.

AND OF COURSE, PIZZA EVERY FRIDAY. THEY SEEM TO BE STILL LOVING IT.

SO HERE ARE SOME PICTURES THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE.

WE DID A CHARCUTERIE BENTO BOX AND SOME KIDS ENJOYED IT, BUT I JUST ALWAYS TRYING TO OFFER DIFFERENT HEALTHIER OPTIONS SO WE CONSISTENTLY OFFER A HUMMUS BOX EVERY DAY AND YOGURT BENTO BOXES.

SO WE ALWAYS TRY TO REACH ALL THE STUDENTS. OUR PARTICIPATION REMAINS STRONG EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HAD A FEW DECLINE ENROLLMENT, WE ARE AVERAGING ABOUT 21 TO 2,200 PLATE LUNCHES PER DAY.

THAT'S ABOUT A THIRD OF THE CHILDREN EVERY DAY EATING LUNCH.

SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT. AND YEAR TO DATE, IT'S ALMOST UP TO NOW 350,000 PLATE LUNCHES AND A LOT OF EXTRAS.

SO KIDS STILL COME BACK AND OR THEY, WHILE THEY'RE IN LINE, ACTUALLY, THEY ASK FOR EXTRAS.

SO IT'S KIND OF FUN. AND WE DO PLENTY OF A LA CART, AS YOU CAN SEE, OVER A MILLION.

SO WE ARE VERY BUSY IN THE LUNCHROOM. WE STILL REMAIN CHALLENGED WITH SOME EQUIPMENT REPAIRS.

SO OUR AVERAGE AGE OF EQUIPMENT IS ABOUT 18 YEARS OLD.

BUT OUR EQUIPMENT, WHETHER OUR FREEZERS GO DOWN OR, YOU KNOW, COOLERS AND THAT KIND OF THING, WE DO HAVE A NICE, RELIABLE VENDOR THAT COMES AND HELPS US, BUT THAT IS A CHALLENGE THAT WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH.

BUT THE POSITIVE SIDE IS WE DO EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, GET TO REPLACE SOME OF THE OLD EQUIPMENT WITH NEW.

SO CARROLL MIDDLE SCHOOL JUST RECEIVED A NICE NEW OVEN, SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

AND THE DR PEPPER COOLERS ARE ACTUALLY FREE BECAUSE WE USE DR PEPPER.

SO THEY'RE VERY NICE AND THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL IN THE LINE AT THE SENIOR HIGH.

SO THOSE ARE OUR TWO NEW EQUIPMENT ADDITIONS.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY. THANK YOU MISS DODGE AS USUAL GREAT PRESENTATION.

AND WE APPRECIATE SO MUCH YOU AND YOUR STAFF.

YOU ALL ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. THANK YOU. YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE THREE YEARS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN FIVE. HAS IT BEEN FIVE? I GOT MY FIVE YEAR PIN, SO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU KEEP YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

YOU AND YOUR STAFF. AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU. JUST SO THE COMMUNITY KNOWS THIS.

YOUR DEPARTMENT IS REALLY THE ONLY SELF-SUSTAINING DEPARTMENT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND YOU KEEP GROWING AND GROWING AND GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING VERY HARD FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR NUTRITION.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYBODY HAS FOR MISS DODGE.

BEING ON THE SHAC COMMITTEE, TRUSTEE LENNON AND I HAVE SEEN YOUR PRESENTATION.

WE HAVE A DEEPER DIVE, AND I KNOW WE BOTH HOLD YOU IN SUCH HIGH REGARD, MISS DODGE, BECAUSE YOU WORK SO HARD TO.

NOT ONLY, IT'S SO IMPORTANT WE KIND OF FORGET ABOUT.

BUT STUDENTS NEED THE ENERGY. AND WHEN THEY HAVE REALLY GOOD FOOD THAT THEY LIKE TO EAT, IT'S A BETTER STUDENT FOR THE DAY.

AND ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I THINK YOU TOLD US WAS WHEN, WHEN THE STUDENTS CAME WITH THE CREDIT CARD FOR STUDENT FOR THE TEACHER AND SAID, WOULD YOU GET ME THIS? I MEAN, YOU OBVIOUSLY IT'S LIKE YOUR FOOD IS DELICIOUS.

WE LOVE WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT EVEN MAKING SOME THINGS BY SCRATCH.

I KNOW YOU SAID TIME CONSTRAINTS. YOU CAN'T MAKE MORE BY SCRATCH, BUT JUST THE FACT THAT YOU'RE INNOVATING ALL THE TIME.

I JUST FEEL LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, THE LUCKIEST ISD IN TERMS OF CHILD NUTRITION.

I REALLY THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I SO APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I KNOW PARENTS, I KNOW PARENTS APPRECIATE YOU.

YOU REALLY TRY AND KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE OUT TOWARD HEALTHY CHOICES, HEALTHY FOODS, FRESH FRUITS, VEGETABLES. I KNOW PROTEIN SHAKES ARE A BIG DEAL AT THE SENIOR HIGH.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU GUYS FOR REALLY MAKING A CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS ARE EATING WELL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT MY KIDS WON'T EAT AT HOME.

THEN THEY'LL SAY, I ATE ALL MY CAULIFLOWER AT SCHOOL AND I EAT LETTUCE TODAY.

SO KEEP IT UP BECAUSE YOU'RE KIND OF EXPANDING THEIR HORIZONS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY, WELL, MY KIDS HAVE NEVER SAID THAT AND A LA CART ITEMS ARE BLOWING MY BUDGET, BUT THEY LOVE THEM. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS DODGE. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

[11. DISCUSSION/ACTION]

[01:15:03]

ITEM 11.1, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL IN CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT VERSUS THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.

I'LL INTRODUCE THIS TOPIC AND THEN OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND SUBSEQUENT MOTION.

I REALLY WANT TO REITERATE A PORTION OF WHAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IN MY PRESIDENT'S REMARKS, AND THAT IS TONIGHT THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER A STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL OF THE APPEAL BEFORE THE FIFTH CIRCUIT APPROVAL WOULD MAKE THE LOWER COURT'S RULING FINAL, INVALIDATING THE 2024 TITLE IX REGULATIONS AS APPLIED IN THIS CASE.

THIS OUTCOME REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT LEGAL VICTORY FOR CARROLL ISD FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE ENTIRE NATION, AND FOR THOSE COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF TITLE IX, WHICH IN PART, WHICH IS IN PART THE PROTECTION OF OUR DAUGHTERS FROM BOYS ACCESSING THEIR BATHROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS AND COMPETING ON THEIR ATHLETIC TEAMS. WE ARE ALSO GRATEFUL FOR THE REPRESENTATION PROVIDED BY ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM IN THIS CASE.

THEIR WILLINGNESS TO STAND WITH US REFLECTS A DEEP COMMITMENT TO DEFENDING CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.

AS A PRO-BONO FIRM FUNDED ENTIRELY THROUGH DONATIONS, THEIR SUPPORT UNDERSCORES BOTH THEIR MISSION DRIVEN FOCUS AND THE GENEROSITY OF THOSE WHO MAKE THEIR WORK POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU, ADF, FOR PARTNERING WITH US. OKAY, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY TRUSTEE BRYAN OR PRESIDENT BRYAN AND THOSE THAT WERE ON THE BOARD AT THE TIME, TRUSTEE LANNON AND MISS STACY AND MR. SEXTON I'M SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.

IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE. FOR THOSE OF US, IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN A FEDERAL COURTROOM, IT CAN BE A PRETTY INTIMIDATING PLACE.

AND WHEN YOU'RE SUING YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT, IT'S A COMPLETELY AWKWARD EXISTENCE FOR YOU AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME.

BUT WE DID THE RIGHT THING IN HISTORY SHOWS IS GOING TO SHOW THAT WE DID THE RIGHT THING.

AND THE FACT THAT I PRESENTED DOWN AT THE STATE CAPITOL THIS LAST YEAR, AND I SAID, AS OUR LAWMAKERS WERE CONSIDERING A BASICALLY LEGISLATION, I SAID THE WOMEN, THE YOUNG WOMEN AND GIRLS IN CARROLL ISD ARE PROTECTED GOING TO THE BATHROOM, SPORTS TEAMS LOCKER ROOMS, AND THE STATE OF TEXAS IS BEHIND CARROLL ISD.

AND I WAS GRATIFIED. IT WAS GREAT GRATIFICATION THAT THE STATE OF TEXAS FOLLOWED OUR LEAD AND PASSED A LAW TO MAKE SURE THAT NOW, NOT JUST CARROLL GIRLS, STUDENTS AND WOMEN, BUT ALL STUDENTS IN EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL ARE NOW PROTECTED.

AND THAT IS THE GREAT LEADERSHIP OF YOU, PRESIDENT BRYAN, AND OUR BOARD.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOU GUYS. IT'S AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH YOU.

YEAH, IT'S A GREAT TEAM EFFORT. THANK YOU TRUSTEE YEAGER. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM BOARD? OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THIS BOARD APPROVE THE STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION. A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S MOVE ON TO 11.2, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 2026-2027 TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT COMPENSATION PLAN.

MR. BENNETT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JIM BENNETT, I'M THE TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR, AND I WANTED TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT A AMENDMENT TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR THE DRIVERS AND AIDES FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR.

LAST MONTH, THE DISTRICT WIDE COMPENSATION PACKAGE WAS APPROVED AND IT ADDED 30 MINUTES TO THE DOWNSIDE GUARANTEE OF ALL DRIVERS AND AIDES. AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE IT MAKES US MORE COMPETITIVE AS COMPARED TO THE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS WHO ALREADY HAD A LARGER DOWNSIDE GUARANTEE. HOWEVER, IN LOOKING AT IT, WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO CATCH UP IN ORDER TO STAY COMPETITIVE, OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN INCREMENTS.

AND SO GETTING IT UP TO 4.5 HOURS. WHILE THAT IS A VERY POSITIVE THING FOR ABOUT 65-70% OF OUR DRIVERS, SOME OF OUR LONGER ROUTES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TRANSPORTATION OFFICE BEING ALL THE WAY IN THE SOUTHEAST, THE FURTHER NORTH, THE FURTHER WEST YOU GO. SOME OF THE ROUTES, THE 4.5 HOURS, IT DOESN'T TOUCH THOSE DRIVERS.

AND SO I WOULD RECOMMEND, IN LIEU OF THE 30 MINUTES INCREASING FOR ALL DRIVERS AND AIDES, $1 AN HOUR, JUST SO THAT WE CAN GUARANTEE WE TOUCH EVERY DRIVER.

[01:20:05]

AND MR. BENNETT, IS THAT CONSISTENT WITH SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS OR DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE THAT THAT THEY TYPICALLY, IS THAT WHAT THEY TYPICALLY DO WHEN THEY ADDRESS THIS SITUATION? AS FAR AS THE, I'M SORRY. RAISE IT RAISE IN HOURLY RATE VERSUS ADDING TIME TO THEIR DAY.

CORRECT, YES. OKAY. YES, YES, YES. ALL RIGHT, AND HAVE YOU TALKED TO, I ASSUME YOU HAVE, HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE EMPLOYEES, OUR BUS DRIVERS AND RECEIVE THEIR OPINION ON WHAT THE DISTRICT IS RECOMMENDING? ABSOLUTELY, YES. AND IT WOULD, IT BREAKS DOWN LARGELY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ABLE TO HELP EVERYONE WITH THIS.

AND SO THIS IS A KIND OF A SWITCH FROM OUR LAST MEETING.

AND THAT IS IN LIEU OF YOU SAID IN LIEU OF NOT ADDITION TO.

SO IN LIEU OF WE'RE TAKING AWAY THE 30 MINUTES, GETTING IT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PRIOR TO THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND ADDING TO THEIR HOURLY SALARY OR HOURLY RATE. SORRY, THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.

YES. OKAY, ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS? SO, MR. BENNETT.

YES. WE WON'T BE DOING AN INCREASE IN HOURS. WE'LL BE DOING IF WE PASS THIS, AN INCREASE IN THE BASE SALARY.

AND I JUST CALCULATED WHAT YOU TOLD US. $1 ON 23 OR $24 IS ABOUT 4%.

AND I DON'T RECALL, WHAT WAS THE PERCENTAGE THAT WE GAVE OTHER ROLES SIMILAR TO THAT? IT WAS 5%. 5%. AND I'M NOT DOING YOUR MATH. SO YOU GOT ME AT A DISADVANTAGE.

BUT WE DID 5%. KEEP IN MIND, DRIVERS LAST YEAR, ONE OF THE FEW GROUPS THAT WERE ABLE TO GET A RAISE AS WELL.

IDEALLY AND I THINK THIS SPEAKS TO PRESIDENT BRYAN'S QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD UP OUR, YOU KNOW, MINIMUM HOURS TO WHAT, SIX HOURS? I KNOW SOME DISTRICTS DO AS MUCH AS SIX HOURS.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. I THINK EVERYONE ON THE BOARD WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT.

CHASE PARK WILL TELL YOU THAT IF YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A DEFICIT BUDGET AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE EXPENSE OF TEACHER RAISES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THE PIE IS ONLY SO BIG.

I THINK IT'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME MISINFORMATION, MAYBE REPORTED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO BOTH, WHICH CAUSED A LITTLE GRIEF. YES SIR. MR. BENNETT AS WELL.

THE ONE OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY PAPERS DID PUBLISH A STORY IN WHICH THEY SAID WE WERE GOING TO DO BOTH, AND THAT CAUSED A BIT OF CHAOS IN THE DEPARTMENT.

YES. YEAH, SO FROM WHERE WE STAND, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, THE PRUDENT THING TO DO IS TRY AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE THINGS UP.

AND SO FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH EVERY DRIVER A DOLLAR AN HOUR DOES THAT.

IS IT ENOUGH? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE THE HIGHEST PAID FOR TEACHERS, FOR PARAPROFESSIONALS, FOR DRIVERS. BUT YOU GOT TO START SOMEWHERE. AND HOPEFULLY AS WE MOVE INTO THE 90TH SESSION, WE'LL GET SOME RELIEF AND RECAPTURE AND WE'LL HAVE THE FUNDS WHERE WE CAN GET OUR DRIVERS WHERE WE REALLY WANT THEM TO BE BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY DESERVE MORE.

BUT THIS PLAN ALLOWS EVERY DRIVER TO GET SOMETHING.

WHEREAS THE PREVIOUS PLAN LEFT OUT ABOUT 30% OF OUR DRIVERS.

I LIKE IT, I AGREE WITH IT. I'M CURIOUS. WOULD IT GO INTO EFFECT NOW OR RETROACTIVELY? WHEN WOULD IT GO INTO EFFECT? GOES INTO EFFECT WITH THE OTHER RAISES FOR NEXT YEAR. YEAH.

NEXT BUDGET CYCLE. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE AS RECOMMENDED THE, AN AMENDMENT FOR THE TRANSPORTATION DRIVERS WAGES AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN. YOU KNOW, NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. TRUSTEE LANNEN, YOU GOT AHEAD OF ME.

I DO. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT. ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU. OKAY, NEXT UP IS ITEM 11.3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SPRING 2026 ACQUISITION OF K-12 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM LIBRARY MATERIALS. MISS PEDDY. GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN. I AM HERE TONIGHT SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THE SPRING ACQUISITION LIST.

THAT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE, OUR BOOKS.

IT ALSO INCLUDES OUR CLASSROOM LIBRARIES. SO WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR 30-DAY LIMIT.

SO WE HAVE RECEIVED NO FEEDBACK ON ANY OF THE BOOKS, ANY CONCERNS.

SO WE ARE ASKING THAT WE MOVE FORWARD AND APPROVE THIS.

MISS PEDDY, ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR MISS PEDDY? OKAY. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE SPRING 2026 ACQUISITION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM LIBRARY MATERIALS AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY.

OKAY, ITEM NUMBER 11.4 IS TO CONSIDER OFF CAMPUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY GUIDELINES.

[01:25:02]

GLENN. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO REQUEST THE APPROVAL OF THE 25-26 OFF CAMPUS PACKET, AND THE 26-27 OFF CAMPUS FEE PACKET, AS WELL AS A VENDOR APPLICATION FORM. SO THAT'S NEW TO THIS YEAR.

LET'S SEE. SO THE DIFFERENCE, LIKE I'M JUST GOING TO POINT OUT JUST TWO DIFFERENCES.

WE, WE HAVE THE APPLICATION FORM FOR THE VENDORS.

WE CHANGED SOME LANGUAGE, A STRONGER LANGUAGE IN THERE FOR PARENT SELECTED PROVIDER BECAUSE THESE ARE SELECTED BY OUR PARENTS.

AND THEN WE ALSO ADDED THAT CARROLL ISD DOES NOT SELECT THE PROVIDERS, DOES NOT ENDORSE THEM OR VET THEM.

THE PACKET ALSO ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO VET THEIR PROVIDERS AS WELL AS DO BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THEM.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO, THE MAIN BIG CHANGES IN THE IN THE PACKET FOR 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS SUITOR. I'M ASSUMING, DR.

GLENN, THAT THIS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE IS GOING TO PROTECT US FURTHER FROM.

YEAH. THE GOOD NEWS IS IN THE PACKET, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD LANGUAGE MAKING IT CLEAR TO PARENTS THAT, THAT WE OFFER PHYSICAL EDUCATION RIGHT HERE IN CARROLL ISD.

BUT WE OFFER THE ADDED BONUS THAT IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE, YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN.

WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DISTRICT TO VET ALL THE VENDORS.

AND I KNOW JUST THIS YEAR ALONE, I BELIEVE 43 DIFFERENT VENDORS WERE USED BY FAMILIES.

SO THOSE ARE PARENTS THAT DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO AN OUTSIDE SOURCE.

LET'S JUST TAKE ONE AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO'S A GYMNAST AND I WANT HER TO COMPETE AT THE OLYMPIC LEVEL.

AND SO RATHER THAN DO TRADITIONAL PE HERE IN CARROLL ISD, I'M GOING TO TAKE HER TO A GYM AND THAT'S TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE IN THE STATE ALLOWS IT.

AND I KNOW WHEN I GO DO THAT, WHETHER IT WAS THIS YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE OR FIVE YEARS PRIOR THAT THAT IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GO AND, AND VET THAT ORGANIZATION. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS, IS REALLY STRENGTHEN THE LANGUAGE IN OUR OFF CAMPUS PE APPLICATION FORM TO MAKE SURE THAT FAMILIES REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THAT THE DISTRICT IS NOT GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE STAFF AND ALL THE ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATIONS THAT, THAT HIRE IN MULTIPLE STAFF THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR THESE PARENT APPROVED PROVIDERS.

WE ARE GOING TO PUT LANGUAGE IN THERE AND, AND ALSO GIVE A LITTLE GUIDANCE TO FAMILIES OF WHERE THEY CAN DO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO.

BUT AGAIN, PARENTS ARE CHOOSING TO DO OFF CAMPUS PE.

AND SO THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE VETTED THROUGH CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS WILL FALL TO THE PARENT.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL FALL TO THE ISD AND SIMPLY CAN'T BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY ORGANIZATIONS WITH SO MANY EMPLOYEES.

BUT AGAIN, FIRST AND BEST CHOICE IS ALWAYS DO YOUR DO YOUR PE AND ATHLETICS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PROGRAMS AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO DO.

BUT WE, WE'RE, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT A LOT OF FAMILIES HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE.

THANK YOU, DR. GLENN. MR. SUITOR. YOU KNOW, I PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO GO SEARCHING OUR INTERNET SITE TO FIND THIS POLICY.

SO DOES YOUR DEPARTMENT HAVE A PLAN ON HOW TO GET THE WORD OUT TO PARENTS BEFORE OUR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR STARTS? YES, SO WE'LL CONTACT ANY OF THE PARENTS THAT HAVE CURRENTLY ALREADY APPLIED FOR THE OFF-CAMPUS FEE PROGRAM FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR.

THIS NEXT UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, AS WELL AS ALL THE VENDORS.

SO WE'LL CONTACT ALL THE VENDORS AND LET THEM KNOW THEY NEED TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO YES, WE WILL. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND WE DID SPEAK TO BARNEY FUDGE AT TEA.

WE NEED TO ACT QUICKLY AND GET ON THE 25-26 APPROVAL AND THEN THE 26-27 APPROVAL, WE'RE INSIDE THAT WINDOW RIGHT NOW.

SO AS SOON AS WE GET Y'ALL'S APPROVAL TONIGHT, WE'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH THEM TOMORROW.

YES, SIR. ARE WE GOING TO HAVE VENDORS RENEW EVERY YEAR? THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING NEW, CORRECT? YES, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING NEW. OKAY. EVERY YEAR.

OKAY. TRUSTEE LANNEN. PRESIDENT BRYAN. I WANTED TO SAY, MY OWN CHILDREN HAVE BENEFITED FROM BEING ABLE TO USE EXTERNAL COACHES.

AND I KNOW LOTS AND LOTS OF FAMILIES WHO DO. I APPRECIATE THAT OUR COMMUNITY BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION MAYBE SOME HOLES IN OUR CURRENT POLICY.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THESE POLICIES EVERY YEAR.

AND I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE DR. GLENN, THAT WE'RE GIVING FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY, THE INFORMATION SO THAT THEY CAN DO BACKGROUND CHECKS THEMSELVES AND THEY CAN INVESTIGATE WHO'S COACHING AND TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN.

SO I APPRECIATE US BUILDING THAT INTO THIS PROCESS.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE LANNEN. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST HAVE A QUICK ONE AND I THANK THE CONVERSATION HERE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU DIG INTO THIS, THERE'S JUST NO WAY THAT, AS YOU SAID DR.

GLENN, THERE'S JUST NO WAY THAT WE CAN VET ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T, THEY'RE NOT EMPLOYEES.

[01:30:05]

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU PICKED FOR GOLF OR WHATEVER ENDEAVOR.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE STATE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LEGAL THAT WE SUPPORT IT.

AND THANK YOU, THIS INFORMATION IS JUST GOING TO EMPOWER OUR PARENTS TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES.

AND AS YOU SAID, TO DO THE BACKGROUND CHECKS THEMSELVES BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S JUST TOO LARGE. SO THAT'S A GREAT POINT.

OKAY. THAT SAID, I MOVE TO APPROVE THIS NEW, THIS NEW PLAN AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. OKAY, GOING TO THE LAST AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[12. CONSENT AGENDA]

TRUSTEE YEAGER. YES, AS MANY OF THE PEOPLE, IF YOU TUNED IN EARLIER IT WAS A RECORD NIGHT FOR OUR FRIENDS IN THE LEADERSHIP, THE TREMENDOUS LEADERSHIP FROM THE CARROLL EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WHICH PRESENTED THIS BOARD AND THIS DISTRICT WITH MOST GENEROUS CHECK IN THE AMOUNT OF $971,763.96. SO AGAIN, CARROLL EDUCATION FOUNDATION, WELL DONE.

AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THAT AMAZING YEAR.

YOU PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT AND WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE AS WELL AS OUR TEACHERS.

THE NEXT FOUNDATION, THE NEXT DONATION I HAVE IS FROM THE SOUTHLAKE FOUNDATION AND THE GENEROUS AMOUNT OF $4,190.

WE THANK THE SOUTHLAKE FOUNDATION FOR THAT. FROM THE CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL PTO A GENEROUS DONATION OF $24,762. AND THE SOUTHLAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AN IN-KIND DONATION OF APPROXIMATELY $9,500.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM.

I THINK I HAVE ONE LAST ONE, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS DISTRICT IS NOT GREAT WITHOUT ALL OF THE GENEROSITY THAT WE RECEIVE FROM YOU AND THE COUNTLESS HOURS OF VOLUNTEERISM THAT YOU GIVE, AND THAT IS FROM THE NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE, WHICH HAS DONATED $11,900, AND THAT IN PURPOSE OF THE CISD SPECIAL OLYMPICS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE AND THAT IS OUR DONATIONS FOR THIS EVENING. TRUSTEE YEAGER, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0.

HAVE NO OBJECTION. WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 7:32 P.M..

THANK YOU BOARD.
