WILL YOU ALL PLEASE RISE? HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US TOGETHER TONIGHT AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES OF CARROLL ISD.

PLEASE JOIN US IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

THANK YOU. YOU MAY BE SEATED. OKAY. OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS ITEM 4, WHICH IS OUR RECOGNITIONS.

[4. RECOGNITIONS]

MISS LEWIS. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN AND TRUSTEES. IT IS TRULY MY PRIVILEGE TONIGHT TO INTRODUCE AND RECOGNIZE ONE OF OUR OUTSTANDING CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, KAREN MCDEVITT, WHO HAS EARNED THE CONGRESSIONAL AWARD GOLD MEDAL.

KAREN, COME ON UP. [APPLAUSE]. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE WORD EARNED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN AWARD THAT IS SIMPLY GIVEN OR WON.

THE CONGRESSIONAL AWARD IS THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS'S HIGHEST HONOR FOR YOUTH, AND EARNING THE GOLD MEDAL REQUIRES AN EXTRAORDINARY LEVEL OF SUSTAINED COMMITMENT IN FOUR AREAS. VOLUNTARY PUBLIC SERVICE, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL FITNESS AND EXPLORATION.

OVER THE COURSE OF HER JOURNEY, KAREN HAS COMPLETED MORE THAN 600 HOURS OF VOLUNTARY PUBLIC SERVICE IN HER COMMUNITY.

AS PART OF HER PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GOALS, SHE CONSTRUCTED THREE FLAG RETIREMENT BOXES AND PLACED THEM IN ACCESSIBLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT WORN AMERICAN FLAGS CAN BE RETIRED RESPECTFULLY. KAREN ALSO SET SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL FITNESS GOALS CENTERED AROUND RUNNING.

SHE HAS NOW COMPLETED MORE THAN 950 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF TRAINING, AND HAS WORKED TOWARD AN INCREDIBLE GOAL OF THESE STRAIGHT YEARS.

FOR THE EXPLORATION COMPONENT OF THE AWARD, KAREN TOOK A VIRTUAL JOURNEY TO IRELAND, STUDYING HER FAMILY'S ANCESTRY, HERITAGE AND CULTURE AND DEVELOPING AN ITINERARY SHE HOPES TO ONE DAY EXPERIENCE IN PERSON.

[00:05:02]

IT REPRESENTS YEARS OF SERVICE, DISCIPLINE, PERSONAL GROWTH AND COMMITMENT TO GOALS THAT KAREN HAS SET FOR HERSELF.

AND THERE'S ALSO A WONDERFUL FAMILY CONNECTION TO THIS ACHIEVEMENT.

KAREN'S TWO OLDER BROTHERS ARE CONGRESSIONAL AWARD GOLD MEDALISTS AS WELL, AND TONIGHT SHE PROUDLY JOINS THEM IN EARNING THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD.

KAREN, WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU. YOU HAVE REPRESENTED YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, CARROLL ISD, CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND OUR ENTIRE DRAGON COMMUNITY EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

PLEASE JOIN ME ONCE AGAIN IN CONGRATULATING KAREN MCDEVITT, OUR CONGRESSIONAL AWARD GOLD MEDALIST.

CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE].

OUR SECOND RECOGNITION TONIGHT IS ITEM 4.2, AND THAT IS OUR STATE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP SILVER MEDALIST.

OUR LADY DRAGON GOLF TEAM, MISS SOUTER. DR. GLENN, PRESIDENT BRYAN AND TRUSTEES.

TONIGHT, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF RECOGNIZING OUR GIRLS GOLF TEAM.

THIS TEAM HAD AN OUTSTANDING SEASON FROM BEGINNING TO END.

THEY FINISHED THE TOP THREE IN EVERY TOURNAMENT THEY COMPETED IN.

AND THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THAT THIS HAS BEEN DONE ON THE GIRLS SIDE.

AT THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT, THEY SET THE SCHOOL RECORD WITH TEAM SCORES FROM EIGHT UNDER PAR, AND THEY WENT ON TO REPRESENT CARROLL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, FINISHING SECOND IN THE STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT.

WHAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS A GROUP THAT ACCOMPLISHED THIS.

TYLER BURNETT, STEPHANIE DEMARCO, OLIVIA NEAL, SAVANNAH TAGGART, AUBREY NOLAN, GIA ALAWIYAH. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT. AND WE TALK A LOT IN CARROLL ATHLETICS ABOUT THE STANDARD THAT COMES WITH WEARING THE DRAGON.

AND THIS GROUP REPRESENTED THE STANDARD INCREDIBLY WELL.

THERE ARE CONSISTENCY THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, THE SCHOOL RECORD THEY SET, AND ULTIMATELY FINISHING AS A CLASS 6 A RUNNER UP IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GIRLS GOLF TEAM.

[APPLAUSE].

MIC].

[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

[00:10:54]

THERE ARE TWO SPEAKERS SIGNED UP TONIGHT, SO WE'LL GIVE EACH SPEAKER THREE MINUTES.

MISS SHELTON, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER? OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS JACKIE PITTMAN.

OKAY. HI. MY NAME IS JACKIE PITTMAN. THIS IS MY HUSBAND, TRAVIS PITTMAN.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A DISTRICT THAT ONE FAMILY CAN ASK FOR CHANGE AND THAT CHANGE CAN BE IMPLEMENTED.

I PRAY THAT YOU FIND OUR STORY VERY COMPELLING.

WE HAVE ONE DAUGHTER IN THE DISTRICT AND OUR HOME SCHOOLING OUR YOUNGER DAUGHTER, DUE TO THE EVENTS FORTHCOMING.

OUR GOAL TODAY, THOUGH, IS TO TAKE THE SITUATION AND ASK FOR CONSIDERATION OF A CHANGE THAT WILL PROTECT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM GOING THROUGH WHAT TRAUMA WE WENT THROUGH JUST THREE MONTHS AGO, AND MAKE THAT BAD AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING GOOD.

ON TUESDAY, MAY 12TH, AFTER A WEEK THAT STARTED AS MEAN GIRL BEHAVIOR IN THE CAFETERIA IN FIFTH GRADE, TO THREATS VIA EMAIL ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WENT BACK TO SCHOOL, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE VICE PRINCIPAL OF EUBANKS AT 335 ASKING, WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER? AT 3:27 THAT DAY, SOUTHLAKE POLICE GOT AN ALARM THAT A SEARCH WAS DONE ON OUR DAUGHTER'S LAPTOP.

HOW TO MAKE A BOMB TO BLOW UP A SCHOOL. SEVERAL POLICE CARS FLEW TO THE SCHOOL.

OFFICER PATE RAN FROM DAWSON AND OFFICER HAGER WAS THERE AS WELL.

THEY WERE LOOKING FOR MY DAUGHTER. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS WAS YOUR DAUGHTER? BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I HAD PULLED MY DAUGHTER OUT OF SCHOOL AT 1:02.

I DROVE TO THE SCHOOL AROUND 4:15 WITH HER SCHOOL ISSUED CHROMEBOOK AND GAVE IT TO THE VICE PRINCIPAL.

AND I LEFT THAT LAPTOP AT SCHOOL. I WANTED THERE TO BE NO ISSUE THAT WAS MY DAUGHTER WHO COULD POTENTIALLY COMMITTED AN OFFENSE UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. WE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. WITHIN DAYS, A QUERY CAME BACK FROM THE THAT THE DEVICE SEARCHED AS OUR DAUGHTER WAS ON THE EUBANKS CAMPUS AND WAS DONE ON A MACBOOK. AT THAT TIME, THERE WERE ONLY FOUR MACBOOKS ON THE EUBANKS CAMPUS, AND THE MEAN GIRL FROM THE WEEK BEFORE, HAPPENS TO BRING A MACBOOK TO SCHOOL, AND HAS BEEN CAUGHT TOGGLING INTO MY DAUGHTER'S BROWSER BEFORE FROM HER MACBOOK TO SEND EMAILS TO PEOPLE AS MY DAUGHTER.

THIS IS WHERE THE DISTRICT POLICY LETS DOWN MY DAUGHTER.

CARROLL'S BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE POLICY DOES NOT ALLOW FOR ANYONE TO SEARCH THE DEVICE OF ANYONE IN THAT PROGRAM, NOT EVEN THE HEAD OF SECURITY, NOT THE POLICE, NOT BRYAN, NOT MR. NICKEL. EVEN IF IT'S POTENTIALLY CRIMINAL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY TO CATCH THE CHILD WHO DID THE SEARCH.

AND SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT SEARCH.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN 11 YEAR OLD WHO RECEIVED ZERO CONSEQUENCES FOR SUCH A SERIOUS OFFENSE BECAUSE IT WASN'T ABLE TO BE SEARCHED.

SINCE THE BYOD PROGRAM IS NOT A STATE MANDATE, BUT RATHER A SCHOOL POLICY, WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU PUT A CHANGE IN THIS PROGRAM AND ALLOW THE DEVICES TO BE SEARCHABLE, JUST LIKE A STUDENT ISSUED DEVICE WOULD BE.

MISS PITTMAN, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S THREE MINUTES. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS TRAVIS PITTMAN.

I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES. WHERE AM I AT HERE. CAN I SPEAK? YES. THANK YOU. WE'RE ASKING THAT THESE DEVICES BE SEARCHABLE BY YOU, JUST LIKE STUDENT ISSUED DEVICES ARE.

[00:15:04]

SO YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT RIGHT. WITH CYBER BULLYING AND CYBER CRIME TAKING A SURGE, ESPECIALLY SINCE SCHOOL'S BACK IN SESSION IN SCHOOL AND JUST IN OUR WORLD, WE FIND THAT THIS WOULD BENEFIT THE DISTRICT GOING FORWARD IN MANY AREAS.

AS AN ADD IN, WE ARE JUST ASKING FOR CONSIDERATION THAT PRIVACY SCREENS AND OTHER THIRD PARTY ACCESSORIES NOT BE ALLOWED, SIMILAR TO THE RULES OF CHILDREN THAT ARE ISSUED THE CHROMEBOOKS.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I WOULD ONLY ADD, I MEAN, THIS IS NOT ONLY A POTENTIAL CRIMINAL OFFENSE THAT AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD COMMITTED ON YOUR CAMPUS, IN YOUR SCHOOL, ON YOUR VPN.

BUT WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL. IF THEY DON'T.

AND ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. IF YOU DON'T STUDY, YOU DON'T GET A GOOD GRADE.

IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME. AGAIN, IT'S VERY APPARENT IN THE SOUTHLAKE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE TEXAS PENAL CODE, POTENTIAL CRIMINAL OFFENSE POTENTIALLY TOOK PLACE IN YOUR CLASSROOM.

SO I APPRECIATE EACH OF YOUR TIME. WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT.

WE THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND HOPEFULLY CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL SEE SOME POSITIVE CHANGE THAT COMES AS A RESULT OF THIS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT]

6.1. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON PERSONNEL REPORT.

TRUSTEE YEAGER. YEAH, PRESIDENT BRYAN AND TRUSTEES, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PERSONNEL REPORT AS PRESENTED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES 7-0. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER.

[7. PRESIDENT'S REPORT]

7.1 IS COMMITTEE REPORTS. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMITTEE REPORTS TO REPORT ON THIS WEEK? NOT YET. NO COMMITTEE REPORTS. OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO MY PRESIDENT'S REPORT.

AGAIN, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. FIRST, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, STAFF AND FAMILIES ON A SUCCESSFUL FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT TO SEE OUR CAMPUSES FULL OF ENERGY AND OUR DRAGONS BACK IN THE CLASSROOMS. WE ALSO HAVE SOME OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC NEWS TO CELEBRATE.

EVERY CARROLL ISD CAMPUS RECEIVED AN A RATING FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY.

THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND A REFLECTION OF THE HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT OF OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS. I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE TRUSTEES CHRISTY STACY, MANDY REECE AND ERIC LANNEN ON ANOTHER TERM OF SERVICE TO CARROLL ISD.

EACH OF THEM WILL RETURN FOR ANOTHER TERM AFTER NOT GARNERING AN OPPONENT FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

WE APPRECIATE THEIR WILLINGNESS TO CONTINUE SERVING OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND COMMUNITY.

CONGRATULATIONS, TRUSTEES. FINALLY, I WANT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON OUR TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE, TIRZ, FOR SHORT, FUNDING REQUEST. THE BOARD WILL SUBMIT A REQUEST TO OUR CITY COUNCIL FOR AN ADDITIONAL $500,000 IN TIRZ FUNDING IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE TO HELP ADDRESS NEEDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT EUBANKS INTERMEDIATE, DAWSON MIDDLE, OLD UNION ELEMENTARY AND DRAGON STADIUM.

THESE ARE NOT NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OR DISCRETIONARY ENHANCEMENTS.

THEY ARE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS DESIGNED TO PRESERVE THE SAFETY, FUNCTIONALITY AND LONGEVITY OF FACILITIES USED BY OUR STUDENTS, STAFF, FAMILIES AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY.

CARROLL ISD HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE TIRZ SINCE ITS CREATION IN 1998, AND THE DISTRICT'S CONTRIBUTION COMES FROM CARROLL ISD PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS GENERATED WITHIN THE TIRZ.

THE CITY'S CURRENT PROJECTIONS INDICATE THAT THE TIRZ COULD ADD NEARLY $2 MILLION TO ITS FUND BALANCE THIS FISCAL YEAR, BRINGING THE PROJECTED BALANCE ABOVE $16 MILLION.

WE HAVE ALSO REQUESTED A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING OF THE TIRZ'S HISTORY, INCLUDING THE AMOUNT OF CARROLL ISD PROPERTY TAX INCREMENT CONTRIBUTED SINCE 1998, HOW TIRZ FUNDS HAVE BEEN SPENT, THE CURRENT FUND BALANCE IN HISTORICAL RESERVES, PLANNED USES OF THE EXISTING BALANCE AND THE PROJECTS FUNDED THROUGHOUT THE TIRZ'S HISTORY.

OUR REQUEST IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS IN PRESERVING PUBLIC ASSETS THAT BENEFIT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

STRONG SCHOOLS STRENGTHEN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PROPERTY VALUES, BUSINESSES, AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE.

[00:20:06]

WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE CITIES AND DISTRICTS PARTNERSHIP AND RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT IT CONSIDERS THIS ADDITIONAL $500,000 INVESTMENT IN CARROLL ISD IN THE SOUTHLAKE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

[8. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

DR. GLENN. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALREADY IN THE SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL.

I WANT TO THANK OUR PRINCIPALS. IT WAS A GREAT FIRST WEEK ACROSS CARROLL ISD.

TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED THE OPENING OF OUR SCHOOL YEAR BECOME SUCH A SUCCESS.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT EVERY CAMPUS DURING THE FIRST WEEK, AND THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS SENSE OF ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT IN ALL THE BUILDINGS.

WE'RE EXCITED THAT ONCE AGAIN, OUR DISTRICT RECEIVED AN A RATING ALONG WITH EVERY CAMPUS IN CARROLL ISD.

WHILE TEA ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS MAY BE SLIGHTLY LOWER, CARROLL'S OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS MEETING OR EXCEEDING STANDARDS CONTINUES TO SIGNIFICANTLY OUTPERFORM MANY DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

THE SMALL DIFFERENCE IS LARGELY ATTRIBUTABLE TO FACTORS SUCH AS STUDENT OPT OUTS, AND THE WAY TEA'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WEIGHS STUDENT GROWTH, WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS FULLY REFLECT THE STRONG OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF OUR STUDENTS.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE CELEBRATE OUR ACADEMIC SUCCESS LIKE THE LONE STAR CUP AND TEA RATINGS, WE ALSO HAVE TO BE WILLING TO ASK DIFFICULT QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE ARE EDUCATING CHILDREN.

ONE OF OUR DISTRICT PRIORITIES CONTINUES TO BE REDUCING UNNECESSARY SCREEN TIME FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND BEING MUCH MORE INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE ROLES TECHNOLOGY PLAYS IN LEARNING.

OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, CARROLL ISD HAS REDUCED OUR TECHNOLOGY BUDGET BY 28%, WHICH IS OVER $300,000.

WE HAVE DONE SO BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STUDENT DEVICES, COMPETITIVELY BIDDING SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, AND BECOMING MUCH MORE INTENTIONAL AND STRATEGIC ABOUT THE WAY WE MAKE PURCHASES.

THIS SAVINGS, ALONG WITH THE STAFFING REDUCTIONS IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, WILL SAVE CARROLL ISD OVER $600,000 ANNUALLY.

THIS IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT SPENDING LESS, IT IS ABOUT SPENDING BETTER.

WE WANT OUR RESOURCES GOING FORWARD TO THE THINGS THAT HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON STUDENT LEARNING.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE CHASE PARK, OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCE, AND RANDY STEWART, OUR DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY, FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP IN HELPING US APPROACH THIS WORK THOUGHTFULLY AND RESPONSIBLY.

THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF WORK THAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE SURE CARROLL ISD REMAINS A RESPONSIBLE STEWARD OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, WHILE CONTINUING TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION.

ANOTHER AREA WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY IS ENROLLMENT.

ENROLLMENT IN CARROLL ISD CONTINUES TO DECLINE, AND WE ARE SEEING THAT TREND REFLECTED IN THE SIZE OF OUR GRADUATING CLASSES.

IN 2025, WE HAD 720 SENIORS. LAST YEAR, 700 SENIORS.

AND THIS YEAR, 683 SENIORS. SO WE'RE LOSING ABOUT 20 A YEAR.

WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS, WE SEE AN EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT TREND.

OUR KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.

2025, 409 STUDENTS. 2026, 420 STUDENTS. AND THIS YEAR, 400 STUDENTS.

WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT CARROLL ISD CONTINUES TO ATTRACT FAMILIES.

WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS MOVE INTO OUR DISTRICT AT VIRTUALLY EVERY GRADE LEVEL BECAUSE FAMILIES RECOGNIZE THE QUALITY OF OUR SCHOOLS, THE STRENGTH OF OUR PROGRAMS, AND OUR INCREDIBLE STAFF.

BUT THERE IS AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT.

WHEN A STUDENT MOVES INTO CARROLL ISD IN THE THIRD, FIFTH, EIGHTH, OR EVEN TENTH GRADE, THAT STUDENT CAN HELP FILL AN EXISTING CLASSROOM THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. KINDERGARTEN IS DIFFERENT.

KINDERGARTEN IS WHERE WE BEGIN BUILDING THE CLASS.

IF WE START WITH A SMALLER KINDERGARTEN COHORT, THAT SMALLER NUMBER FOLLOWS STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR TIME IN CARROLL.

WE CAN GAIN STUDENTS THROUGH FAMILIES MOVING INTO THE DISTRICT, BUT WE CANNOT ASSUME THOSE SAME ADDITIONAL STUDENTS WILL ARRIVE IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS TO BRING EVERY GRADE LEVEL BACK TO THE SIZE OF THE COHORTS THAT CAME BEFORE THEM.

AND THAT IMPLICATION BEYOND JUST. AND THAT IS AN IMPLICATION BEYOND JUST A SINGLE YEAR'S ENROLLMENT.

IT AFFECTS STAFFING, CLASSROOM UTILIZATION, CAMPUS CAPACITY, LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING, AND ULTIMATELY THE FUTURE OF OUR DISTRICT. A DIFFERENCE OF 20 TO 30 STUDENTS MAY NOT SOUND SIGNIFICANT WHEN VIEWED IN ISOLATION,

[00:25:01]

SO AS WE BEGIN THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE ARE STILL VERY OPTIMISTIC.

WE HAVE OUTSTANDING STUDENTS AND EXCEPTIONAL STAFF.

WE HAVE PRINCIPALS WHO ARE LEADING THEIR CAMPUSES WITH VISION AND PURPOSE, AND WE CONTINUE TO ACHIEVE AT VERY HIGH LEVELS ACADEMICALLY.

OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT WHAT MAKES CARROLL ISD GREAT, WHILE MAKING SURE WE ARE POSITIONED TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY FOR YEARS TO COME.

MR. PRESIDENT, THAT'S YOUR REPORT FOR AUGUST. THANK YOU, DR. GLENN. VERY WELL DONE.

[9. PUBLIC HEARING]

AT THIS TIME, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS DECLARED OPEN, AND I'LL ASK THE ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE US THROUGH A PRESENTATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. MR. PARK. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN, TRUSTEES. HERE TO PRESENT THE PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS RESOLUTION TO ADOPT OUR 2026 TAX RATE FOR THE 2026-27 FISCAL YEAR. WE'LL GO THROUGH OUR TIMELINE JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE ARRIVED AT OUR TAX RATE THIS YEAR, AND THEN JUST SHARE THE ADOPTION LANGUAGE ONE MORE TIME BEFORE WE CLOSE.

SO BACK IN JUNE, WE PUBLISHED OUR PUBLIC NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS TAX RATE AS WELL AS OUR PROPOSED BUDGET.

BECAUSE OUR TAX RATE IS BELOW WHAT WE PUBLISHED THEN, WE WERE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW TO PUBLISH THIS NOTICE AGAIN HERE TEN DAYS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.

IN JULY 24TH, WE RECEIVED THE UPDATED CERTIFIED VALUES FROM TAD.

AND THEN ON AUGUST 1ST, WE WORKED TO SUBMIT OUR LOCAL PROPERTY VALUES STUDY TO TEA IN ORDER TO DETERMINE OUR MCR.

BEEN GOING THROUGH THE TAX CALCULATION WORKSHEET IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND THEN NOW HERE WE ARE TODAY TO ADOPT OUR TAX RATE.

SO HERE THIS IS JUST ONE MORE TIME REITERATING OUR TAX CERTIFIED VALUES FOR 2026.

IF YOU REMEMBER TO LAST YEAR, OUR NET TAXABLE VALUE WAS $13.481 BILLION.

SO WE HAVE LOST A LITTLE BIT OF VALUE SINCE LAST YEAR.

BUT THE MAIN DIFFERENCE HERE THIS YEAR IS, WITH THE LEGISLATURE'S NEW UPDATED HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION TO $140,000 AND THE FROZEN LEVY TO $60,000, THE LIMIT ADJUSTED TAXABLE VALUE ESTIMATES OF $11.36 BILLION.

THAT'S CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN OUR TOTAL ADJUSTED VALUE FROM LAST YEAR.

SO IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHERE THAT ENDS UP. BUT RIGHT NOW, IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME, WE HAVE BASED OUR CALCULATIONS OFF OF THAT 11.36 NUMBER. SO I'LL GET TO OUR PROPOSED TAX RATE HERE. SO THIS PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR, WE ARE AT $0.9294 PER $100 OF TAXABLE VALUATION. OUR M&O RATE HAS NOT CHANGED FROM THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR AT $0.6853.

BUT WE ARE PROPOSING A REDUCED I&S RATE OF $0.2416 THIS YEAR.

SO IF WE BREAK THAT DOWN, THE TIER ONE COMPRESSED RATE BASED ON OUR PROPERTY VALUES, OUR LOCAL PROPERTY VALUE STUDY TO TEA DETERMINED THAT IT REMAINED FLAT AT $60.53. OUR TIER TWO ENRICHMENT PENNIES AFTER OUR VATRE IS NOW $0.08, AND THEN OUR I&S TAX RATE DECREASED $0.0025. SO A QUARTER OF A PENNY DOWN TO $0.2416. AND THAT'S BASED ON THE REFUNDING THAT THE BOARD APPROVED LAST MONTH.

WE'LL BRING OUR MINIMUM DEBT SERVICE COLLECTIONS UP TO THAT RATE.

SO THIS IS JUST A HISTORY TABLE OF OUR LAST FIVE YEARS, SIX YEARS.

IT HAS DECREASED EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS OUR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR TO SET A TAX RATE THAT IS BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE.

AND TO DATE, I BELIEVE IT IS THE LOWEST TAX RATE IN CARROLL ISD HISTORY.

[00:30:02]

AND THIS IS JUST A. ON THE TAX CALCULATION WORKSHEET THAT WE COMPLETED, OUR NO NEW REVENUE RATE THIS YEAR BASED ON THE LOWER PROPERTY VALUES CAME OUT TO 962284. AND SO WE ARE WELL BELOW THAT THIS YEAR WITH WITH OUR VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE OF 9269. CHASE, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY OTHER DISTRICTS IN TARRANT COUNTY BELOW NR? I'M NOT SURE. BUT, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THAT THIS KIND OF SIMILAR PHENOMENON OCCURRED WITH THE DROPPING VALUES THIS YEAR, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OTHERS MIGHT BE AS WELL, BUT I AM NOT SURE YET.

AND BASED ON OUR PROPERTY VALUES, THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, VATR, THAT IS THE TIER ONE PENNIES OF 6053 PLUS THE ENRICHMENT PENNIES OF 0.08.

AND THAT COMES OUT FOR THE M&O SIDE OF 6853. NO CHANGE THERE LIKE I SAID.

AND THEN OUR CURRENT YEAR I&S RATE OF 2416 FOR A TOTAL OF 9269 FOR OUR VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE.

SO FOR LATER ON, I KNOW YOU HAVE THE MOTION AND THE RESOLUTION, BUT THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE ADOPTION LANGUAGE.

AND I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, MR. PARK, DR. GLENN, YOUR WHOLE TEAM.

INCREDIBLE JOB AGAIN THIS YEAR. AT THIS TIME, I'LL RECOGNIZE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS WHO HAVE NOT ALREADY SPOKEN EARLIER DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD REGARDING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE.

OKAY. THIS CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED 2026 TAX RATE FOR THE 2026-27 FISCAL YEAR.

THE HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU, MR. PARK.

AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 11, WHICH IS OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THE MEETING.

11.1. I'M SORRY, I SKIPPED 10, WHICH IS THE INFORMATION PORTION OF THE MEETING.

[10. INFORMATION]

MR. NICKEL. ALMOST SKIPPED OVER YOU. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S OKAY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I RECENTLY MET WITH CALL-A-DOC TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR TELEHEALTH SERVICE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. THE CLOSEST COMPARISON THAT I COULD MAKE IS THAT THIS IS SIMILAR TO TELL-A-DOC, ONLY THEY PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THEY ARE CURRENTLY PURSUING FEDERAL FUNDING THAT COULD ALLOW THE SERVICE TO BE OFFERED AT NO COST TO OUR DISTRICT.

THERE IS NO ACTION OR COMMITMENT BEING REQUESTED TONIGHT.

WE SIMPLY WANTED TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE OF THE OPPORTUNITY.

AND IF THE FEDERAL FUNDING IS SECURED, THE BOARD COULD REQUEST THAT THIS BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, MR. NICKEL. AND I KNOW THAT WHENEVER THE WORD MENTAL HEALTH POPS UP IN A SCHOOL SETTING PEOPLE KIND OF START TO QUESTION AND RAISE THEIR EYEBROWS AND SAY, WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE? AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THAT THIS IS KIND OF A RESOURCE BEING OFFERED TO US FOR FREE.

I MEAN, WE WILL NOT CONSIDER IT IF IT COST THE DISTRICT ANY MONEY.

SO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT GRANTS ARE OUT THERE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT WILL PAY FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES AND IT WILL COST THE DISTRICT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A RESOURCE.

LIKE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE HAVE THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHERE IT'S FREE.

ANY EMPLOYEE CAN CALL AND TALK TO A COUNSELOR OR WHATEVER ON THEIR OWN VOLITION.

THIS WOULD BE THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR A STUDENT CAN'T JUST PICK UP AND CALL A COUNSELOR.

THEY HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THEIR PARENTS, AND THEIR PARENTS HAVE TO SET IT UP. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT GOES THROUGH WHATEVER PROTOCOL, BUT THIS IS ALSO FOR STAFF, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND WHATNOT.

IT'S A FREE SERVICE THAT WE COULD OFFER AS A RESOURCE.

AND THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE THOUGH, AND YOU MAY HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK INTO THIS, MR. NICKEL, BUT I'VE BEEN IN THE EMPLOYED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE LAST 36 YEARS.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU ACCEPT $1 FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IT USUALLY COMES WITH A MILLION STRINGS ATTACHED TO IT.

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT NOW, OR CAN YOU TAKE AN IOU TO RESEARCH? IF WE WERE TO INDIRECTLY TAKE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR THIS PROGRAM, WHAT WOULD THE STRINGS, YOU KNOW, ATTACHED TO WHAT THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY?

[00:35:03]

AND ANYTIME WE HAVE A RESOURCE SUCH AS THAT, THEN, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

BUT I KNOW DEALING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S VERY DIFFICULT.

AND A LOT OF TIMES THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU'RE AGREEING TO THAT IF YOU ACCEPT $1 AND IT'S A 20 YEAR STRING.

SO WOULD YOU MIND LOOKING INTO THAT FOR US? WE'LL BE HAPPY TO.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. NICKEL? YEAH, I DID. HI.

I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BRYAN, FOR ANSWERING SOME OF THOSE RIGHT THERE WITH WHAT YOU HAD THERE.

BUT SO IN THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY PROVIDED, THE PRESENTATION SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES PEDIATRIC PSYCHIATRY PRESCRIBING AND MEDICATION MANAGEMENT. SO I KNOW THAT IN THERE, THEY SAID THAT FOR UNDER 17, PARENTS WOULD HAVE TO SIGN A CONSENT.

BUT WHAT DOES THAT CONSENT SO IF THIS COMPANY CAN PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS, WILL THEY DO THAT? AND LOOP IN THE PARENTS? DO THEY LOOP IN CARROLL ISD? WHERE DOES THAT INFORMATION GO? DOES IT GO BACK TO WHOEVER IS FUNDING THIS? AND AGAIN, WE HAD A VERY HIGH LEVEL PRESENTATION.

BUT ABSOLUTELY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS TO A CHILD WITHOUT LOOPING IN THE PARENTS.

I KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHY I WAS LIKE WANTING SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.

THAT WAS THE WAY THAT I UNDERSTOOD IT WHENEVER WE SAT THROUGH THE PRESENTATION IS THAT THIS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS MORE SO MAKING THE SERVICE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES.

IT IS NOT IN LIEU OF PARENTS OR FAMILIES. AND SO I THINK THAT AGAIN, IF THEY IF THEY WERE TO SEEK THAT OUT, THAT WOULD BE A PARENT SEEKING THAT OUT. AND IT WOULD BE THE PARENT WORKING WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, JUST LIKE THEY WOULD IF THEY DID IT OUTSIDE OF THE PROGRAM.

VERY SIMILAR TO TELL-A-DOC. THE DISTRICT IS ALMOST A PASS THROUGH.

AND SO FAMILIES, THEY THEY REACH OUT, THEY USE THEIR PROVIDERS.

THEY CALL IN TO TELL-A-DOC. IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING.

SO THE DISTRICT ITSELF IS REALLY A PASS THROUGH.

THE MONEY, I GUESS, WOULD FLOW FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TEA THROUGH THE DISTRICT TO THE PROVIDER.

DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING THAT WAS INDEPENDENT OF A PARENT WHERE IT WOULD BE THE CHILD ONLY WORKING WITH THE PROFESSIONAL OR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

EVERYTHING WAS PARENT DRIVEN, PARENT COMMUNICATED.

WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, WHETHER WE SIGN UP FOR THIS OR NOT ALLOWING OUR PARENTS TO ACCESS THAT RESOURCE.

AND SO ONCE WE HEAR BACK ON FUNDING, WHAT WE WOULD DO IS.

WE COULD OBVIOUSLY GET THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU GUYS IN LITERATURE TO READ, BUT WE CAN ALSO HAVE THEM COME IN AND ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. SO, BUT EVEN IN REGARDS TO FUNDING, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING IN READING IT THAT ONCE YOU SIGN THE.

THAT THEN THE FUNDING IS SECURED AND WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY SAY IN THE FUNDING ACTUALLY FUNDING THAT.

RIGHT, I WOULD. SO RIGHT NOW, I THINK THE FUNDING HAS TO GO THROUGH AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

ONCE IT GOES THROUGH AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THEN OUR APPLICATION WILL BE WITH THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY.

SORRY. GO AHEAD. THAT WAS MY CONCERN WITH SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WHERE IT SAID, IT COULD BE AT NO COST TO THE DISTRICT IF FEDERAL FUNDING IS SECURED.

SO IT'S IT COULD BE, IT'S NOT IT WILL BE. AND THEN EVEN JUST LOOKING ON THIS PAGE THAT I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO FILL OUT, IT SAYS, WOULD YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT BE INTERESTED IN IMPLEMENTING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS WITHOUT OUR ASSISTANCE? AND IT'S OUR FULL RESPONSIBILITY. SO IS IT OUR FULL RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT HAS THESE THINGS LISTED? IT DOESN'T HAVE A NO OPTION. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT COST, AND IT WOULD REQUIRE A LOT MORE STAFF TO MONITOR THAT.

SO I WOULD BE CURIOUS AS WHERE'S THE BOX THAT SAYS, NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

AND IF SO, I MEAN, THAT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A COST TO US IF WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND MY COMMENT WAS MORE AROUND, YOU KNOW, COLLECTING DATA ON OUR STUDENTS.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE OPT IN, YOU KNOW, HOW IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED? ARE THEY THEN LIKE PUTTING OUT SURVEYS TO OUR KIDS, ASKING THEM ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH? LIKE, I JUST AM A LITTLE BIT HESITANT ABOUT THE INTERACTION, THE DATA, ALL OF THOSE OTHER PIECES THAT COME ALONG WITH INVITING.

IF WE MOVED FORWARD WITH THIS, COULD WE ACTUALLY SEE THE CONSENT THAT THE PARENTS WOULD SIGN? AND MAYBE THE FINE PRINT THAT SAYS WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION, FOR ANYBODY WHO USES THIS? I'M SURE WE COULD GET THAT. I THINK THERE'S MAJOR RED FLAGS WHENEVER YOU DEAL WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

AND HONESTLY TEA AS WELL. SO I THINK THAT ALL THESE QUESTIONS ARE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY SERIOUS BEFORE WE EVEN CONSIDER THINKING ABOUT TAKING ACTION,

[00:40:02]

GLENN, FROM WHOMEVER. SURE. WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION AS FAR AS ON THE SUBJECT.

THANK YOU.

[11. DISCUSSION/ACTION]

MR. NICKEL, YOU'RE UP AGAIN. THANK YOU. THE STUDENT HANDBOOK AND STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT WERE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD FOR INFORMATION AT OUR LAST MEETING. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAD REDLINED VERSIONS OF BOTH DOCUMENTS POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE SO THAT PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS COULD REVIEW AND REVIEW THE PROPOSED CHANGES.

I KNOW REDLINE VERSIONS ARE A LOT TO GO THROUGH, AND SO IN THE FUTURE WE'LL BE REQUESTING THAT T PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF CHANGE DOCUMENT NOTING CHANGES IN PRACTICE. SO WE CAN PROVIDE THAT AS WELL.

AS WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, THE MAJORITY OF CHANGES REFLECT CHANGES IN LEGISLATION, UPDATES TO BOARD POLICY, STUDENT AND SAFETY DISCIPLINE REQUIREMENT CHANGES, OR ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE REVISIONS.

THERE'S ONE CLARIFICATION THAT I WANTED TO NOTE TONIGHT REGARDING OUR CELL PHONE LANGUAGE.

OUR EXPECTATION WILL BE THAT STUDENTS DO NOT USE CELL PHONES OR OTHER PROHIBITED PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES, FROM THE BEGINNING BELL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL DAY TO THE END BELL, INCLUDING WHILE STUDENTS ARE TRAVELING BETWEEN CAMPUSES ON THE SHUTTLE BUSSES.

THIS LANGUAGE WILL BE NOTED IN BOTH DOCUMENTS.

WE'RE ALSO BEING VERY CLEAR WITH OUR BUS DRIVERS THAT THEIR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS THE SAFE TRANSPORT OF OUR STUDENTS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TASK OUR DRIVERS WITH BECOMING THE PRIMARY ENFORCERS OF CELL PHONE POLICY WHILE THEY'RE IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING.

IF THERE ARE ISSUES WITH STUDENT CELL PHONE USE ON THE BUS, OUR DRIVERS WILL WORK WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION, ALONG WITH CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS, TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS APPROPRIATELY. WITH THAT CLARIFICATION, THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THE APPROVAL OF THE 2026-2027 STUDENT HANDBOOK AND STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AS PRESENTED.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. NICKEL. OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO MR. NICKEL. TRUSTEE YEAGER.

YEAH, JUST IN CASE SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T TUNE IN.

AND WHEN YOU PRESENTED SOME OF THIS INFORMATION, COULD YOU MAYBE TOP LINE, A COUPLE OF THE MAJOR LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT WE'VE ADOPTED? THERE ISN'T ANYTHING HUGE FROM THE 89TH THAT WE DIDN'T ADDRESS LAST YEAR.

A LOT OF IT, AGAIN, HAS BEEN JUST ADDITIONAL LITTLE COMMISSIONER RULINGS, A LOT MORE, AGAIN, ABOUT PARENTAL RIGHTS, MAKING SURE THAT WE, WHETHER IT BE WITH, YOU KNOW, MENTAL HEALTH THINGS, LIBRARY BOOKS, ETC. THAT WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT PARENTS, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE RIGHTS THAT ARE AFFORDED TO THEM.

THE BIGGEST LIFT WAS PROBABLY THE SENATE BILL 12.

PARENTAL RIGHTS STUFF THAT WAS PUT IN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE MOST LEGISLATIVE CHANGE WILL BE IN THE 90TH SESSION, WHICH IS COMING. SO T WAS ESSENTIALLY CLEANING UP THE POLICY, AS WE GET READY FOR THE 90TH SESSION, WHICH BEGINS IN THE SPRING. AND I THINK THE 89TH ENDED SO CLOSE TO THE START OF THE YEAR, THEY MADE ALL THE REVISIONS THAT SEEMED NECESSARY AT THE TIME.

AND THEN THEY, AGAIN, JUST CHANGED A LITTLE BIT OF LANGUAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING REFLECTED AS THEY FELT LIKE IT NEEDED TO.

AND FOR NEW FAMILIES, WHERE WOULD THEY FIND THESE HANDBOOKS AND CODE OF CONDUCT? THEY'LL BOTH BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, AND THERE ARE ADMINISTRATORS WILL ALSO HAVE THOSE FOR THEIR CAMPUSES.

OKAY. I'D ALSO ASK IF WE COULD HAVE THE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT, MAKE SURE TO LET FOLKS KNOW THAT.

I KNOW THAT'S A QUESTION THAT'S COME UP. IT SEEMS LIKE IN PAST MEETINGS.

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. NICKEL? OKAY. TRUSTEE YEAGER. YEP. I MOVE THE APPROVAL OF THE 2026-2027 STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE STUDENT HANDBOOK, AS PRESENTED BY MR. NICKEL THIS EVENING.

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

THANK YOU, MR. NICKEL. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM 11.2, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF THE 2026 TAX RATE.

MR. PARK. YES. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND I'M HERE TO SEEK APPROVAL OF THE 2026-27 TAX RATE. I'D JUST LIKE TO AGAIN, COMMEND YOU, MR. PARK, AND YOUR STAFF, DR. GLENN, AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM FOR WHAT REALLY IS AN UNPRECEDENTED THIRD YEAR IN A ROW THAT WE ARE PASSING A TAX RATE FOR OUR OUR TAXPAYERS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT'S BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE.

AND IT'S THE. WAS IT THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW OR SIXTH YEAR IN A ROW? SIXTH YEAR IN A ROW THAT WE'VE REDUCED THE PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN SOUTHLAKE, WHICH IS ALSO REALLY UNHEARD OF FOR A 6 A DISTRICT IN TEXAS.

SO WE KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF PENCIL SHARPENING AND, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN DO THIS AND STILL RUN THE DISTRICT AT AN EXEMPLARY MANNER. AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK THAT YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR A FEW YEARS.

[00:45:09]

AND IT'S JUST REMARKABLE THAT WHERE WE ARE TODAY VERSUS WHERE WE WERE SIX YEARS AGO.

SO I COMMEND THIS BOARD FOR THEM PUTTING THE POLICY OUT THERE AND FOR US HIRING THE RIGHT PEOPLE THAT WILL BUY INTO THAT POLICY.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. PARK. WE HOPE YOU'RE HERE FOR MANY, MANY MORE YEARS.

I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MR. PARK. NO, JUST TO ECHO WHAT PRESIDENT BRYAN SAID.

SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, I THINK, WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS DISTRICT IS UNIQUE.

IF YOU TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE AND YOU TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT OUR TAX RATE.

BUT THE OTHER THING IS YOU TALK TO BOARD MEMBERS IN OTHER DISTRICTS, AS I HAVE JUST RECENTLY, THEY ARE ALL IN DEFICIT BUDGETS AND SOMETIMES MASSIVE DEFICIT BUDGETS.

THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS FOR THEIR DISTRICTS.

THEY REALLY HAVE PUT THEMSELVES IN DIFFICULT POSITIONS.

AND WE'RE SEEING, YOU KNOW, VERY QUICK BUDGET CHANGES.

WE'VE DONE THINGS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD REALLY GREAT PEOPLE, ADMINISTRATORS.

AND AGAIN, MR. PARK, SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE, THERE HAVE BEEN NO SURPRISES.

OTHER DISTRICTS ARE GETTING HUGE SURPRISES AND THEIR CITIZENRY ARE RIGHTLY SO, VERY UPSET.

SO CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

I DO HAVE ONE QUICK COMMENT, AND THAT IS THAT WE ARE IN.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO DON'T REALIZE IN THIS APPRAISAL FREEZE, IF YOU WOULD.

RIGHT. HOW DOES THAT ACTUALLY WORK INTO THE TAX RATE THIS YEAR? YEAH. SO YOU MENTIONED THE FREEZE. SO WHEN WE ADOPT A TAX RATE, IT'S UTILIZING THIS VALUE THAT WAS SET OR THAT WAS ESTIMATED. IT'S STILL AN ESTIMATE.

THEY CALL IT A CERTIFIED VALUE, BUT IT'S STILL A CERTIFIED VALUE ESTIMATE.

AND SO WE SET OUR BUDGET OFF OF THIS ESTIMATED NUMBER THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM JULY, BUT IT REALLY. IT'S NOT THE, REALITY OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE COLLECTING THROUGH THE YEAR.

AND SO THERE STILL HAS TO BE CONTINUOUS MONITORING INVOLVED.

AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH TAD AND THE COMPTROLLER TO SEE WHERE, WHERE WE EXACTLY FALL AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, AS THE FINAL T2 VALUES COME OUT AND OTHER NUMBERS BECOME SOLIDIFIED TOO.

TO FULLY UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO END UP IN THE YEAR.

AND SO IT IS A CHALLENGE. AND FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR IN THE TAX CALCULATION WORKSHEET, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A $2.5 MILLION PRIOR YEAR EXCESS COLLECTIONS OVER WHAT WAS BUDGETED LAST YEAR.

AND SO, WHEN WE DID OUR WORKSHEET LAST YEAR, WE DETERMINED THAT OUR RATE MIGHT COLLECT X NUMBER OF DOLLARS FOR I&S.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, AS THE PROTESTS AND AS THE INCOMPLETE ARB, YOU KNOW, AS ALL THOSE GET RESOLVED, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT HAVE ADDED VALUE BACK TO OUR CERTIFIED VALUE NUMBER.

AND SO THEN, YOU KNOW, OUR COLLECTIONS ENDED UP BEING MORE THAN WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO COLLECT TO THE COUNTY AND TO THE TAD. AND SO UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD TO BE CALCULATED IN TO OUR TAX RATE THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE WILL BE POTENTIALLY EATING INTO FUND BALANCE THIS YEAR.

BUT I'M WORKING WITH OTHER DISTRICTS, OTHER COUNTIES, THE COMPTROLLER AND THE LINE BARBER TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE CAN GET AHEAD OF THIS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SO THAT NEXT YEAR AT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT BEING SURPRISED BY ANOTHER EXCESS COLLECTIONS NUMBER THAT AFFECTS HOW WE CAN MANEUVER OUR I&S RATE GOING FORWARD.

SO UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF A FREEZE, RIGHT? YEAH. IT DOES IMPACT US. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE FOR MR. PARK? OKAY.

RESOLUTION, I BELIEVE HAS THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.

YOU ONLY HAVE TO READ BOTH. THE LANGUAGE HE PUT ON THE SCREEN EARLIER.

CAN YOU PUT IT BACK ON THE SCREEN SO HE CAN READ IT? YEAH. SORRY. THANK YOU. I MOVE TO APPROVE A TAX RATE OF $0.926900 PER $100 OF TAXABLE VALUATION, WHICH IS BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE WITH A MAINTENANCE AND

[00:50:09]

MOVING ON TO 11.3. MR. PARK, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CISD ENERGY RATE RENEWAL.

YES. SO LAST MEETING, I CAME TO YOU WITH SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CURRENT STATE OF OUR ENERGY CONTRACT AND EXPLAINED THAT, YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY, WE'RE LOCKED IN AT AROUND 3.8 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR.

THAT CONTRACT RUNS THROUGH JUNE OF 2030. AND REVIEWING ESTIMATES PROPOSALS FOR ENERGY RATES STARTING IN JULY OF 2030. EVERYTHING IS ABOVE 6.2 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR.

AND SO THE CONSIDERATION WAS FOR THE TRUSTEES TO PROVIDE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW ENERGY RATES AND PROVIDE US WITH THE AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT AND LOCK IN AT A RATE THAT IS PRUDENT FOR THE DISTRICT, IF WE SEE THE OPPORTUNITY. MAKES SENSE TO LOCK IN.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. PARK? OKAY. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE COSTS THAT. THEY'RE FIXED COSTS.

THEY'RE NOT STATIC COSTS, BUT THEY'RE COSTS THAT WE HAVE TO PUT INTO OUR BUDGET.

THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE AND THAT IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHANGEOVER IN OUR STATE REPRESENTATION.

BOTH THE STATE REP AS WELL AS OUR STATE SENATOR.

AND WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE AN INCREASE IN THE BASIC ALLOTMENT FOR THESE FIXED COSTS.

AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY DOUBT, AND IF WE'VE GOT PEOPLE FROM THE MEDIA HERE, WHEN YOUR KILOWATT PER HOUR GOES FROM 3.8 CENTS TO 6.2, AND THE STATE DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY MORE MONEY PER PUPIL.

WHAT IS A DISTRICT SUPPOSED TO DO? THIS IS JUST SUCH A CLEAR EXAMPLE.

SO I JUST WOULD ASK THE COMMUNITY, GET EDUCATED ABOUT IT.

WE'VE ALL SEEN OUR UTILITY BILLS GO UP AT OUR HOUSES.

AND IMAGINE IF YOU HAD A SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE SIZE OF PROPERTIES THAT WE DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE BILL, AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM OTHER THINGS THAT WE WANT TO FUND.

SO WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED IN THE NEXT LEGISLATION.

GREAT POINT, TRUSTEE YEAGER. CAN I GET A MOTION? THAT SAID, I MOVE THAT THE APPROVAL OF THE CISD ENERGY RATE RENEWAL AS PRESENTED.

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

THANK YOU, MR. PARK. YOU'RE STILL UP THERE TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CISD FUTURE PARTNERSHIPS MOUS.

YES, SIR. SO AGAIN, LAST MEETING I CAME TO YOU WITH THREE THREE PROPOSALS FOR PARTNERSHIPS WITH WITH COMMUNITY ENTITIES. WE HAD THE 1956 PIZZA CONTINUED MOU TO SERVE ON OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND SENIOR HIGH CAMPUS THIS YEAR.

WE HAD THE SL TENNIS PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE TENNIS INSTRUCTION AND ENRICHMENT TO OUR TO OUR LOWER LEVELS THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THEN WE HAD THE YOUTH SOCCER INITIATIVE AT THE EUBANKS.

AND SO THE FINALIZED DRAFTS OF THE AGREEMENTS WERE SHARED WITH YOU IN, IN THE BOARD AGENDA PACKET.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, WE WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THOSE PARTNERSHIPS FOR THIS 20, 26, 27 SCHOOL YEAR.

THANK YOU, MR. PARK. ALL THREE SEEM TO BE OUTSTANDING PARTNERSHIPS.

1956 PIZZA, WHICH IS OPERATED RIGHT HERE IN SOUTHLAKE, WHICH WE LIKE TO GIVE BUSINESS TO SOUTHLAKE RESIDENTS.

KIDS ALWAYS LIKE PIZZA, RIGHT? AND THEN A QUESTION I HAD ABOUT THE TENNIS SOUTHLAKE TENNIS CENTER PROVIDING INSTRUCTION.

ARE THEY ALSO GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING WITH MAINTAINING OUR TENNIS COURTS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR CAMPUSES? OR IS THAT JUST TOTALLY SEPARATE? NO. SO. SO THE PROPOSAL IS TO CREATE A SEPARATE ENTERPRISE FUND.

THE DRAGON TENNIS ACADEMY. AND SO THE, THE SPONSORSHIP DOLLARS AND THE AND THE ANNUAL LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT WE STRIKE WITH THEM. WE WOULD SHARE THE REVENUE BETWEEN OUR GENERAL FUND AND ALSO AND ALSO OUR ENTERPRISE FUND.

AND THE INTENT IS TO UTILIZE THOSE AND COMMIT, COMMIT THOSE DOLLARS TO DIRECTLY MAINTAINING THE SERVICES AND THE FACILITIES OF OUR, OF OUR TENNIS PROGRAM AT, AT ALL THE CAMPUSES THAT THEY OPERATE ON.

[00:55:03]

I MEAN, IT REALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. AND THEY'RE GREAT PEOPLE OVER THERE AT THE SOUTHLAKE TENNIS CENTER.

AND JUST HAPPY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH THEM.

AND THEN WITH YOU, LEE BEHIND DORSETT OR BEHIND EUBANKS.

THERE'S A HUMONGOUS FIELD THAT HAS REALLY NEVER BEEN MAINTAINED.

AND SO YOU EAT IS COMING IN AND ACTUALLY PAYING US AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT AREA, WHICH THEY WILL YOU KNOW, HAVE EVENTS ON, BUT WE'RE ALLOWED THE DISTRICT, SINCE IT'S OUR PROPERTY, WE CAN USE IT AS WELL. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. WE'LL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT NEW AND IMPROVED SURFACE FOR DISTRICT ACTIVITIES WHEN, WHEN IT'S NOT, NOT THERE AGREED UPON PRACTICE TIMES.

BUT, BUT WE HAVE, WE HAVE METERED OFF THAT SECTION.

AND SO WHATEVER WATER IS THERE, I BELIEVE IN THE AGREEMENT IS AGREED UPON THAT YOU WILL, WILL REIMBURSE FOR THAT WATER TO MAINTAIN THOSE FIELDS, THAT FIELD. AND THEN AND THEN YES, WE WILL HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP GOING FORWARD TO ACTUALLY UTILIZE OPEN SPACE.

AND THEN, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE PROVIDING ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES FOR SUCH A WIN WIN SITUATION IN ALL THREE INSTANCES AND HAPPY TO DO BUSINESS AND PARTNER WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. SO LOCAL BUSINESS. SO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THAT, MR. PARK. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MR. PARK? OKAY. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE CISD FUTURE PARTNERSHIP MOU AS PRESENTED.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION. AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU, MR. PARK. OKAY, MISS PEDDY, CONSIDER 11.5, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF UPDATES TO THE 2026-2027 ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE AND GRADING GUIDELINES. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BRYAN, DR.

GLENN AND TRUSTEES. I AM HERE TONIGHT SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE ACADEMIC ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE AND GRADING GUIDELINES.

I WOULD LIKE TO STATE RIGHT UP FRONT THAT THIS PRESENTATION HAS BEEN MODIFIED.

I HAVE ADDED ONE SLIDE TO IT THAT WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED. I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE ARE SEEKING APPROVAL OF IS THE OFF CAMPUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

IT IS SIMPLY WE'RE KEEPING THE SAME GENERAL FORMAT AND THAT STUDENTS HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE QUALIFYING ACTIVITY.

HOWEVER, IT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO COMBINE VERIFIED PARTICIPATION HOURS FROM MULTIPLE PROVIDERS.

SO WE ARE SEEKING THAT TO BE APPROVED. AND THERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE.

WE ARE ALSO TAKING A LOOK AT OUR GRADING CATEGORIES.

IN THE PAST, WE HAVE NOT HAD MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM, WHICH HAS CAUSED INCONSISTENCIES OR COULD HAVE CAUSED INCONSISTENCIES IN OUR GRADING.

SO ARE WE SEEKING TO REDUCE THAT AS WELL? WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT AND THE AND THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT.

AND SO AS YOU CAN SEE FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, IT'S 3 TO 4 GRADES AND 10 TO 14 GRADES.

WE DO GIVE OUR TEACHERS SOME FLEXIBILITY IN HOW THEY APPLY THAT.

BUT THERE WILL NOW BE THE MAXIMUM WHICH WE HAVE NOT HAD IN THE PAST.

THERE IS A SENIOR HIGH. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT I COVER ALL ASSIGNMENT GRADES MUST BE MADE, MUST BE OUT OF 100. WE WERE HAVING SOME ISSUES IN THAT AREA, AND ALL ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADES WILL BE ENTERED IN THE GRADE BOOK INDIVIDUALLY.

THEY CANNOT BE A COLLABORATIVE GROUP. THAT WAY IT ENSURES THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THEIR GRADES ARE.

ALL RIGHT. WE TALKED BRIEFLY AT OUR AT THE LAST MEETING ABOUT THE GLASS AT THE CLASS RANK AND GPA PROPOSAL FROM THE STATE.

AND I HAD TALKED TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD BE.

THE STATE'S LOOKING AT ADVANCED. AT ADVANCED PLACEMENT, ALONG WITH DUAL CREDIT, ALONG WITH ON RAMPS.

SO AS WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS AND WE WERE LOOKING AT MAKING CHANGES TO OUR, OUR GPA, ANYWAY, I WANTED TO MAKE A PROPOSAL TO YOU TO SEE. AND THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE.

I WANTED TO TALK. WE WE CONTINUE TO EVALUATE WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND STRENGTHEN OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. WE IDENTIFIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT WOULD BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS.

IT'S CALLED THE ADVANCED ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR EXTRACURRICULAR PARTICIPATION.

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS ABOUT RECOGNIZING THAT EDUCATION EXTENDS BEYOND WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CLASSROOM.

OUR STUDENTS ARE LEARNING VALUABLE LESSONS EVERY DAY THROUGH THEIR PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS, BAND, CHOIR, CHEER, THEATER, SPEECH AND DEBATE, ROBOTICS, EMERALD BELLES.

THESE ARE LESSONS LEARNED IN DISCIPLINE, LEADERSHIP, TEAMWORK, PERSEVERANCE, TIME MANAGEMENT, AND COMMITMENT. THESE STUDENTS ARE BALANCING DEMANDING ACADEMIC SCHEDULES WITH SIGNIFICANT EXTRACURRICULAR RESPONSIBILITIES, OFTEN DEDICATING COUNTLESS HOURS EACH WEEK TO PRACTICES, REHEARSALS, COMPETITIONS, PERFORMANCES,

[01:00:02]

THE A C E CREDIT IS IS INTENDED TO VALUE THE WHOLE STUDENT WHILE MAINTAINING OUR STRONG ACADEMIC STANDARDS.

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO FEEL THAT THEY CAN PURSUE EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM, WHILE ALSO FULLY ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITIES THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

BY RECOGNIZING SUSTAINED COMMITMENT TO THESE RIGOROUS PROGRAMS, WE ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES GAINED THROUGH MEANINGFUL EXTRACURRICULAR INVOLVEMENT ARE ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART OF PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE CAREERS AND LIFE BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.

ULTIMATELY, THIS IS ABOUT TELLING OUR STUDENTS WE VALUE YOUR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

WE VALUE YOUR COMMITMENT, AND WE VALUE THE EXPERIENCES THAT HELP YOU BECOME THE WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS YOU WANT TO BE.

SO LET ME TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THIS WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE.

THE PURPOSE IS TO RECOGNIZE STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE SUSTAINED PARTICIPATION IN RIGOROUS EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS. SOME POSSIBLE QUALIFYING ORGANIZATIONS COULD BE ATHLETICS.

BAND. CHEER. THEATER. U.I.L. SPEECH AND DEBATE.

ROBOTICS. CHOIR AND EMERALD BELLES. THE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS.

STUDENTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME QUALIFYING ORGANIZATION FOR FOUR YEARS IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS CREDIT.

AND WHAT WOULD THIS CREDIT BE? THIS WOULD BE A TEN WEIGHTED POINTS ON THE STUDENT'S GPA.

IT IS A ONE TIME. THEY CAN GET IT IN ONE OF THEIR OF THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.

BUT WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A WAY TO HONOR THE BENEFITS OF WHAT OUR KIDS ARE DOING, THE HARD WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING.

I'VE HAD LOTS OF PARENTS WHO HAVE COME TO ME AND WHO HAVE SAID, YOU KNOW, MY KIDS PUT IN AS MUCH TIME, IF NOT MORE TIME IN THESE ACTIVITIES THAN WHAT THEY DO IN, IN THEIR AP CLASSES.

AND SO, AND LET ME INTERJECT HERE. YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE EVER WANT A KID PUNISHED BECAUSE THEY PUT ON THE GREEN AND THEY REPRESENT US, YOU KNOW, ON, ON THE MARCHING FIELD, IN BAND OR IN SPEECH OR IN CHOIR.

AND SO IS THESE KIDS IS THESE KIDS PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROGRAMS AND THEY COMMIT FOR YEARS, AND ESPECIALLY AS WE LOOK AT DECLINING ENROLLMENT AND KNOWING THAT WE WANT KIDS TO CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED IN THESE PROGRAMS, HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO OUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, PUTTING, PUTTING OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS, SO TO SPEAK, AND SAYING, LIKE, WE RECOGNIZE THE COMMITMENT THAT OUR KIDS PUT IN OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD.

KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN OPT IN YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR AND RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF WEIGHTED CREDIT FOR A, FOR AN ACTIVITY. AND YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, CROSS MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES, RIGHT? SO YOU CAN'T YOU KNOW, DO IT IN BAND AND THEN ALSO DO IT IN THEATER AND THEN ALSO DO IT IN CHEER.

YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE. BUT BUT CERTAINLY WE WOULD LOVE FOR KIDS TO BE IN MULTIPLE PROGRAMS, BUT WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WHEN A KID IN BEST FOUR YEARS IN REPRESENTING OUR DISTRICT WE, WE RECOGNIZE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, ESPECIALLY IN THIS DISTRICT, TO BE A PART OF THOSE PROGRAMS AND I ESPECIALLY THINK IT'S MEANINGFUL TO POINT OUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE LEAD TIME FOR KIDS TO BEGIN PREPARING TO SIGN UP FOR THESE CLASSES.

SO FOR ALL FUTURE DRAGONS THAT ARE OUT THERE THINKING ABOUT IT, NOW IS THE TIME TO BEGIN PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULES FOR 2027 AND BEYOND.

BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO INVEST IN THESE PROGRAMS SO THAT YOU'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE CREDITS IN THE FUTURE.

WE HAVE HAD PROGRAMS THAT ARE SIMILAR. IF YOU LOOK AT THESE, WE'VE HAD OPT OUT PROGRAMS. SO WHAT OUR, FOR OUR ATHLETES IN THE PAST SO THAT HAS HELPED WE'VE ALSO HAD SEVERAL OF THESE, THESE COURSES THAT ARE LISTED ARE ALREADY RECEIVING SOME WEIGHTED CREDIT.

I DID ASK OUR SKYWARD SPECIALIST IF SHE COULD TAKE LAST YEAR'S TOP TEN.

AND USING THE CRITERIA THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE PROPOSING, HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT WOULD THAT MAKE? AND HONESTLY, FOR THE ONES THAT WE RAN, IT HELPED THE STUDENTS.

BUT IT WASN'T A HUGE I MEAN, IT DIDN'T JUST ALTER YOUR GPA ALTOGETHER.

SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO BE ABLE TO HONOR OUR STUDENTS WHO DO, DO PUT IN THE TIME AND THE EFFORT AND THE PARTICIPATION AND GIVING THEM A WAY OF SAYING, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY, FOR BRINGING THIS TO US.

I THINK IT'S LONG OVERDUE. WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS MANY YEARS AGO.

AND I THINK IT'S A IT'S A GREAT TIME TO TAKE ACTION ON IT TONIGHT.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU, YOU DOING THIS. AND I THINK THAT MANY OF OUR STUDENTS, IT ONLY BENEFITS OUR STUDENTS.

IT DOESN'T HURT ANY OF OUR STUDENTS. IT BENEFITS OUR STUDENTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO US AND LOOKING FORWARD TO US VOTING ON IT.

SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO MISS PEDDY. ANY MISS PEDDY? YES. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT SO MANY YEARS AGO WITH ADJUSTING THE GPA THROUGH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

[01:05:09]

SO YOU CAN'T PLAY SOCCER AND THEN SWITCH TO FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER AND GET NOT ONLY CAN YOU NOT GET DOUBLE CREDIT, BUT YOU CAN'T GET CREDIT PERIOD. SO IF YOU PLAYED SOCCER ONE YEAR AND FOOTBALL THREE YEARS KNOW YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE YOU.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO TWO YEARS WOULD BE YOUR PROVISIONAL.

AND THEN FOR YOU TO GET THE WEIGHTED POINTS WOULD BE FOUR YEARS.

YEAH. SO SO WE'LL BEGIN IN 2027. IF SO, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S TAKE LIKE THE FRESHMAN CLASS, RIGHT? AND SO FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS, THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD SHOW IT, BUT IT WOULD SHOW AS PROVISIONAL.

AND THEN WHEN THEY ENROLLED THEIR, THEIR SENIOR YEAR, WE WOULD TURN IT OVER AND IT WOULD BE.

SO THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BEGIN SEEING THAT THEY'RE EARNING ADDITIONAL CREDIT, BUT NOT UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY COMPLETE THAT FOURTH YEAR.

DOES IT BECOME PERMANENT CREDIT? YEAH. YEAH. SO IT'S I MEAN, IT'S A TOUGH STANDARD TO MEET.

RIGHT. AND I KNOW YOU HAD A DAUGHTER THAT PLAYED SOCCER FOR FOUR YEARS.

I HAVE A SON THAT RUNS CROSS COUNTRY. MISS STACY HAD A SON THAT PLAYED BASEBALL.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST IN ATHLETICS ALONE, WE TALK ABOUT THE HOURS, BUT I KNOW BAND.

I MEAN, YOU SEE THEM OUT EARLY IN THE MORNINGS, LATE IN THE EVENINGS PRACTICING.

SAME THING WITH THE DEBATE TRAVELING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

SO WE HAVE KIDS DOING PRETTY AMAZING THINGS. ROBOTICS FOUR YEARS IN A ROW, STATE CHAMPIONS.

AND SO THE HOURS THESE KIDS PUT IN TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REWARDED FOR THAT, AND NOT ONLY ATHLETICS, BUT FINE ARTS AND ACADEMICS AS WELL AS IS A POSITIVE.

SO AND THIS, THIS ENCOMPASSES A LOT OF PROGRAMS. SO KIDS, KIDS HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO GO IMPROVE THEIR GPA.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS? IF ANYBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS SOME OF THE WAY THAT ACADEMIES AND PREP SCHOOLS ARE PUT FORWARD, STUDENTS ACTUALLY HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES BECAUSE IT'S THE BELIEF, THE CODE, IF YOU WOULD, OF THOSE ACADEMIES, THAT IT DOES MAKE FOR A MORE WELL-ROUNDED STUDENT.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE MISS PEDDY, WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE, AND THAT IS THAT THERE'S LEADERSHIP SKILLS, THERE'S TEAMWORK SKILLS, THINGS LIKE THAT. WHEN YOU'RE IN A ROBOTICS TEAM, COMPETING AT A HIGH LEVEL LIKE OURS DOES, OR YOU'RE ON A CHOIR THOSE ARE SKILLS YOU CAN'T GET MAYBE ELSEWHERE.

AND WE'RE SAYING, WE'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE REALIZE THAT'S A HUGE AND VALUABLE PART TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR DRAGONS.

AND THERE'S NOT A PENALTY, IF YOU WOULD, AGAINST THAT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE YOU DON'T GET IT UNLESS YOU HAVE THAT FOUR YEAR COMMITMENT.

SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD TRADE OFF. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I'LL BRIEFLY CONTINUE. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT OUR EDTECH WITH OUR SCREEN TIME.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ONE ITEM ON THIS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE MADE SURE THAT AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT SCREEN TIME AND REDUCING SCREEN TIME, WE HAVE HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF TECHNOLOGY IF THEY SO CHOOSE.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE HAD 150 STUDENTS THAT HAD OPTED OUT OF TECHNOLOGY ALTOGETHER.

I DO BELIEVE UP TO THIS DATE TODAY WE HAVE. WE NOW HAVE 60 KIDS THAT HAVE DONE IT.

SO I DO THINK OUR GUIDELINES ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

I DO THINK THAT OUR PARENTS ARE SEEING THAT WE ARE WE'VE MADE THIS COMMITMENT, WE'RE STICKING TO THIS COMMITMENT.

AND IT AND THEY DO LIKE THE OPT OUT OPTION. SO THIS HAS WORKED OUT VERY WELL.

AND THEN THIS JUST GOES ON THROUGH THE PRESENTATION THAT WE TALKED AND THEN THE AI THAT WE HAD.

SO AT THIS TIME, I AM SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO THE ACADEMIC AND GRADING GUIDELINES.

MS. PEDDY. BEFORE I PUT THAT, GO AHEAD. OH, I JUST WANTED TO ASK ONE QUESTION ON THE KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE OFF CAMPUS.

I KNOW IT SAYS TWO PROVIDERS. I WAS JUST THINKING BASEBALL, FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S LIKE PITCHING, HITTING, FIELDING. SO YOU COULD YES, YOU COULD DO THE WAY THAT IT READS.

LET ME GO BACK AND LOOK LET ME GO BACK ON THAT ONE.

SORRY, I KNOW THAT THAT'S OKAY. I MOVED PAST IT.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I FULLY UNDERSTAND IT AND IT'S THE THIRD BULLET UPDATES LANGUAGE TO RECOGNIZE THAT STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN COACHING AND TRAINING FROM MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, TEAMS, STUDIOS, OR INSTRUCTORS.

OKAY. SO IT'S NOT LIMITED TO TWO IN THOSE UNIQUE, THEY JUST HAVE TO BE ELIGIBLE.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. YEAH. THERE'S A SLIDE THAT I'M PARTICULARLY FOND OF, MISS PEDDY, AND THAT IS UNDER THE DRAGON'S UNPLUGGED.

IF WE COULD HAVE OUR TEAM IN THE BACK, GO TO THAT SLIDE, WHICH SHOWS CARROLL AND THE OTHER ISDS.

AND AGAIN, BECAUSE TO THE FAVOR OF OUR FRIENDS FROM THE MEDIA THAT ARE HERE.

[01:10:06]

BUT IF YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK, WE OFTEN ARE LOOKED AT AS THE LEADERS IN MANY DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF, YOU KNOW, K THROUGH 12 EDUCATION. I'M VERY PROUD OF YOUR DEPARTMENT, THE STAFF, THE TEAM, THIS BOARD BECAUSE THAT WHOLE COLUMN THERE, YOU CAN SEE AT EVERY GRADE LEVEL, CARROLL ISD IS LEADING AND UNPLUGGING AND UNTETHERING OUR CURRICULUM FROM TECHNOLOGY. I THINK IT'S EXACTLY WHAT OUR PARENTS WANT.

AND I'M VERY PROUD THAT WE ARE LEADING AMONGST MANY OF THESE GREAT ISDS.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD POINT. TRUSTEE YEAGER YEAH, AND ONE IMPORTANT DISTINCTION ON THIS TOO, IS MISS PEDDY MENTIONED IS WE HAVE THE OPT OUT PROVISION FOR PARENTS.

AND NOT EVERY DISTRICT HAS THAT OPT OUT PROVISION.

I DO HAVE TWO THINGS. AND MAYBE THIS IS MORE FOR ADMIN, BUT SINCE THIS HAS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, HAVE WE SEEN AN UPTICK IN REQUESTS FOR PRINTED ITEMS FROM ANY OF THE TEACHERS? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK FORWARD TO FOR NEXT YEAR AND INCLUDING MORE IN THE BUDGET, OR I MEAN, A WEEK INTO SCHOOL? NO, WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN UPTICK.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW LAST YEAR THAT PAPER WAS A HOT COMMODITY ON CAMPUSES.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK AT AND CONSIDER.

WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR PRINCIPALS ABOUT IT. A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO BUDGET MANAGEMENT.

ONE THING THAT MR. PARK DIDN'T TALK ABOUT TONIGHT, BUT I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR CABINET MEETING THIS MORNING IS, WE HAVE SEEN A REDUCTION IN ENROLLMENT, BUT WE DID NOT GO THROUGH AND MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT OR A PER PUPIL ADJUSTMENT IN ALL THEIR BUDGETS, RIGHT? AND SO TYPICALLY YOU WOULD DO THAT IN A BUDGET CYCLE.

YOU BUDGET ON A CERTAIN NUMBER OF KIDS BEING AT A CAMPUS.

AND IF YOU DON'T HIT THOSE MARKS, WE REDUCE THE BUDGET BY THAT NUMBER.

AND SO THAT MONEY HAS BEEN LEFT IN THOSE BUDGETS.

AND SO HOPEFULLY OUR PRINCIPALS WILL MANAGE THEM WELL.

I HAVE FAITH THAT THEY WILL. AND THEN, MISS PEDDY, FOR YOU.

SO I'VE BEEN ASKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE. FOR 9TH THROUGH 12TH.

WE DO HAVE SOME COURSES THAT ARE GEARED TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY.

AND I KNOW WE HAVE THIS KIND OF CAVEAT DEPENDING UPON THE COURSE.

AND SO IS THERE A WAY AND MAYBE NOT FOR THIS YEAR, BUT FOR NEXT YEAR, WHENEVER WE'RE DOING COURSE SELECTION, MAYBE PUT AN ASTERISK BY THOSE CLASSES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DEEMED MORE OF A TECHNOLOGY COURSE.

ABSOLUTELY. AND THEN HOW ARE THOSE. WHO SAYS THAT THAT'S A TECHNOLOGY COURSE, AND THAT IT'LL BE EXEMPT FROM THAT 15 MINUTE PER DAY THING? OKAY, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THE WAY THAT WE DETERMINE SCREEN TIME IS WHEN THE STUDENT IS DIRECTLY INTERACTING WITH THE SCREEN. SO NOW, OBVIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING IN SECONDARY GRADES.

SO LET'S JUST SAY 7 THROUGH 12, YOU'VE GOT DIGITAL MANIA.

A GOOD PORTION OF THESE CLASSES ARE YOUR CTE CLASSES.

NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT A GOOD PORTION OF THEM. SO YOU'VE GOT COMPUTER SCIENCE.

SO OUR GOAL IS FIRST AND FOREMOST, FOR THE TEACHER TO BE THE TEACHER AND FOR THE TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT IT.

NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE COMPUTER SCIENCE, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE A PART.

THAT TECHNOLOGY IS GOING TO BE A PART OF THAT AND YOU WILL BE ON MORE THAN THAT.

WE DO HAVE THE COURSES. WHENEVER WE DID OUR PROGRAM, WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE COURSES THAT WOULD BE.

WE'LL HAVE THEM DESIGNATED AS COURSES THAT WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, DESIGNATED AS HAVING MORE SCREEN TIME THAN OTHERS.

BUT YES, WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. YEAH. MISS REECE, YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT. WHEN PARENTS REGISTER, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF NOTATION THAT IT'S A HIGH SCREEN TIME COURSE. AND THAT'S EASY TO DO BECAUSE OF WHEN WE'RE ADOPTING THIS POLICY, IT'S TOUGH TO GO BACK NOW THAT KIDS ARE ALREADY REGISTERED.

BUT MOVING FORWARD, THAT WOULD BE EASY TO DO.

AND THAT'S A REALLY SOLID RECOMMENDATION.

WOULD BE LIKE A MENU WHERE IT'S EXTRA SPICY AND YOU SEE THESE PEPPERS WILL BE THREE COMPUTER SCREENS.

AND IF THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE WATCHING AND A PARENT LIKE THEIR KID IS NOW IN WEEK TWO OF SCHOOL AND THEY'VE SIGNED UP FOR AN ELECTIVE THAT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IS A COMPUTER BASED ELECTIVE, YOU KNOW, CALL OUR COUNSELORS IN THE CAMPUS.

THEY'LL ACCOMMODATE A SCHEDULE CHANGE. THANK YOU.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE UPDATES TO THE 2026-2027 ACADEMIC PLANNING GUIDE, THE APG, AND GRADING GUIDELINES AS PRESENTED THIS EVENING.

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

THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER. OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS PEDDY. WE'RE OFF TO OUR FINAL AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT,

[12. CONSENT AGENDA]

[01:15:01]

ONE DONATION THIS EVENING IS FROM ASAP, LLC. LANDON ESQUIVEL, AND THIS DONATION IS $12,000 IN KIND, VERY GENEROUS FOR PROFESSIONAL PARKING LOT STRIPING, MOBILIZATION AND APPLICATION AT THE ROCKENBAUGH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ASAP, LLC. LANDON ESQUIVEL.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE YEAGER. I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

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