MR. ESTRADA. THANK YOU.

BOARD. TONIGHT, AS EVERYONE IS AWARE THERE IS AN ELECTION GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY.

WHILE THIS DOES NOT DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT IT.

SO WE HAVE DOCTOR CHRIS IS HERE TODAY TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE ELECTION THAT IS HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK.

WE HOPE THAT THIS WILL ALSO BE HELPFUL FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO MAY BE PRESENT HERE WITH US TONIGHT OR WATCHING ONLINE.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR SARINE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SUPERINTENDENT ESTRADA.

CHAIRMAN WRIGHT MEMBERS OF THE LOCKHART ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT.

AT YOUR MEETING I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ANNEXATION EFFORT AND HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE.

AND SO FIRST THING I WANTED TO SAY IS WE'VE BEEN DEEPLY ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AS THIS ANNEXATION EFFORT HAS GONE FORWARD AND WE I WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR HOSPITALITY, FOR THEIR TIME, AND FOR REALLY ENGAGING US IN A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION, HIGHER EDUCATION HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND ONE THING IS VERY CLEAR IS THAT THE THE LOCAL PEOPLE HERE IN LOCKHART REALLY VALUE THE ISD.

THEY VALUE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO, AND ANYTHING WE WOULD DO WOULD BE COMPLEMENTARY AND ADDITIVE TO THE WORK THAT THE GREAT WORK AND THE FOUNDATIONS THAT YOU HAVE ALL SET AT LOCKHART ISD AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNEXATION, IT'S A VERY BIG QUESTION FOR A COMMUNITY TO UNDERTAKE.

IT'S A TAX.

IT'S A FRANKLY, IT'S A VERY BIG QUESTION AND SO SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN ANNEXATION, I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN GREAT VALUE IN THE CONVERSATION THAT HAVE HAPPENED.

THAT'S HAPPENED. IT'S MADE US STRONGER AS AN INSTITUTION, AND I HOPE THE COMMUNITY HAS ENJOYED THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE HAD WITH ANNEXATION.

SO LET ME JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THIS MAP SHOWS THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE SERVICE AREA AND TAXING DISTRICT.

THE DARK PURPLE IS OUR TAXING DISTRICT AND SO THIS ELECTION IS WAS STARTED BY A GROUP OF CITIZENS WHO GATHERED SIGNATURES OF YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS HERE IN THE LOCKHART ISD TERRITORY.

AND OUR BOARD REVIEWED THOSE SIGNATURES.

THEY FOUND THEM TO BE VALID, AND THEY PUT THE ANNEXATION ON THE BALLOT FOR THE VOTERS TO CONSIDER AND AS A PART OF THAT, WE PUBLISHED A SERVICE PLAN IN WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT ACC WOULD DO AS A COLLEGE AND SO I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BUT THE AREA TO BE ANNEXED IS VERY FAMILIAR TO YOU ALL.

IT'S YOUR IT IS TO THE LINE.

IT IS THE LOCKHART ISD TERRITORY SERVICE AREA.

THAT IS THE AREA THAT WOULD BE ANNEXED BY ACC.

SO YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY SEE THAT ON THE MAP.

YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT MAP.

LET ME GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE COLLEGE AND A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD IN THE COMMUNITY.

A LOT OF FOLKS, RIGHTLY SO, BECAUSE IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE THE AGES 16, THE EARLY COLLEGE, HIGH SCHOOL, THE DUAL CREDIT, THAT COHORT OF LEARNERS AS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND GETTING STUDENTS INTO A DIRECT TO COLLEGE REALM.

VERY IMPORTANT.

BUT WHAT I WILL ADD TO THAT IS A LOT OF THAT WAS KIND OF NOT IN THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE BROUGHT TO THE CONVERSATION IS THE THE CONVERSATION AROUND ADULT LEARNERS.

OUR TYPICAL STUDENT IS ABOUT 26 YEARS OLD, IS A FEMALE, A WOMAN OF COLOR WHO IS TAKING CARE OF 1.2 DEPENDENTS, EITHER A FAMILY MEMBER OR A CHILD.

AND SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE FOLKS WHO LIVE HERE IN LOCKHART, IN ADDITION TO THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO NEED THAT UPSKILLING, THE RESKILLING.

A 37 YEAR OLD GENTLEMAN WHO HAS BEEN LAID OFF, WHO NEEDS TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND GET A NEW SKILL.

SO THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS WE'RE NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER'S COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

[00:15:04]

SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ANNEXATION, YES, THE CONNECTIONS WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE LOCKHART ISD ARE INCREDIBLY VITAL.

BUT ALSO IMPORTANT ARE THINKING ABOUT THE EMPLOYERS THAT ARE HERE AND HOW THEY WANT TO GROW, OR EMPLOYERS THAT YOU WANT TO ATTRACT.

WHAT ARE THE SKILL NEEDS IN THOSE EMPLOYERS? AND SO WE WORK VERY INTENTIONALLY WITH OUR EMPLOYER NETWORK TO BE A PARTNER IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE GENERALLY ARE BUCKETED ACCORDING TO TEN AREAS OF STUDY AND SO YOU CAN SEE THESE HERE, THERE'S A COUPLE THAT I WANT TO HIT ON.

HEALTH SCIENCES IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

IT IS IN VERY HIGH DEMAND ALL THROUGHOUT CENTRAL TEXAS AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO HIT ON HEALTH SCIENCES IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ACC, FRANKLY, DID NOT HAVE IN ITS DISTRICT WAS THE NURSING PROGRAM IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR DISTRICT.

WE HAVE VERY ROBUST NURSING AT OUR EAST VIEW CAMPUS AND OUR ROUND ROCK CAMPUS.

WHEN WE PASSED OUR 2022 BOND WE MET WITH THE COMMUNITY, MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH AND WHAT THEY SPOKE TO US WITH ONE VOICE WAS THAT WE REALLY NEED NURSING IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE DISTRICT.

SO AS A PART OF OUR 2022 BOND, WE ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING AT THE KYLE CAMPUS, A $100 MILLION NURSING BUILDING.

AND THAT NURSING BUILDING WILL BRING NURSING INTO THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR DISTRICT.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL HEALTH CARE EMPLOYERS LIKE BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE SETON ASCENSION TO THINK THROUGH HOW THAT GETS DEVELOPED.

WE'RE ALSO THINKING ABOUT ADDING DENTAL HYGIENE THERE, BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PROGRAM OF DEEP OF DEEP WORKFORCE NEED.

SO I WANTED TO TOUCH ON THAT.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON, WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT'S A LITTLE CLOSE TO YOU ALL, IS PUBLIC AND SOCIAL SERVICES.

THAT IS GENERALLY AT ACC HEADQUARTERED AT OUR KYLE CAMPUS, WE HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER WHERE WE TRAIN AGENCIES FROM AROUND THE REGION, BUT WE ALSO RUN OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT LICENSURE PROGRAM.

OUT OF THAT, OUT OF THAT CAMPUS.

ON THE OTHER, THESE FIVE AREAS OF STUDY, THERE'S TWO THAT I WANT TO TOUCH ON HERE.

COMPUTER INFORMATION SCIENCE AND COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE JUST ADDED WE'RE AT ACC, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO OFFER UP TO FIVE BACCALAUREATE DEGREES.

WE CURRENTLY OFFER FOUR, AND TWO OF THEM ARE IN THE IT REALM.

ONE IS IN CYBERSECURITY AND THE OTHER ONE IS IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT IS AN AREA OF OF STRONG WORKFORCE NEED.

AND WE'RE MAKING DEEP COMMITMENTS INTO INTO THAT THAT REALM AND DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, CONSTRUCTION AND APPLIED TECH.

THIS IS USUALLY WHERE THE SKILLED TRADES LIE.

BUT BUT REALLY IT'S WHEN WE TALK ABOUT MANUFACTURING THIS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

ACC ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, WE WERE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS IT WAS NURSING.

IT WAS IT AND IT WAS SKILLED TRADES.

RIGHT. MANUFACTURING DID NOT APPEAR ON THE RADAR IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

LO AND BEHOLD, WE ARE TEN YEARS LATER AND MANUFACTURING IS IS FRONT AND CENTER IN MANY OF OUR CONVERSATIONS, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY THAT COMPANIES THAT HAVE COME INTO CENTRAL TEXAS, INCLUDING TESLA, BUT ALSO WITH REGARD TO THE PASSAGE OF THE CHIPS ACT AND THE SEMICONDUCTOR INVESTMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS.

SO I WANTED TO TOUCH ON ON HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN REAL TIME IN PARTNERSHIPS.

WE AS I SAID BEFORE, WE ARE VERY DEEPLY ENGAGED WITH OUR LOCAL EMPLOYERS.

AND THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES.

ONE IS WITH TESLA AND OUR START MANUFACTURING PROGRAM.

WHEN TESLA WAS COMING INTO CENTRAL TEXAS, WE MET WITH THEIR COMPANY AND STARTED TALKING ABOUT A MANUFACTURING CURRICULUM THAT WE DEVELOPED IN CONCERT WITH TESLA AND NOW TESLA IS TAKING AN ACC BRANDED MANUFACTURING CURRICULUM, AND THEY'RE TAKING IT TO THEIR GLOBAL

[00:20:08]

BUT MORE IMPORTANT TO US IS THAT WE RUN ABOUT 400 ACC STUDENTS THROUGH A PROGRAM TO GET THEM JOBS RIGHT INTO MANUFACTURING IN TESLA. THE OTHER THING IS SEMICONDUCTORS.

A LOT OF FOLKS, WHEN THE CHIPS ACT PASSED $52 BILLION, RIGHT? A LOT OF MONEY. WHEN THE CHIPS ACT PASSED, A LOT OF INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY WERE LIKE, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING FACILITY, AND THEY WEREN'T BUILDING IT BASED ON DEMAND.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SAMSUNG SEMICONDUCTORS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS IN THEIR FACILITY, TRAINING THEIR WORKERS IN THE FACILITY AND SO THAT'S ALLOWED US TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS AND MORE IMPORTANT, THROUGH DOCTOR LAURA MARMOLEJO, WHO'S OUR DEAN IN THAT AREA, TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE GRANULAR NEED THAT THOSE EMPLOYERS HAVE IN TERMS OF WHEN THEY WHEN THEY HIRE A WORKER, WHAT THAT SKILL IS.

SO WE HAVE A VERY STRONG RELATIONSHIP BASED EFFORT WITH OUR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURERS AND WE ARE POISED TO BE A LEADING TRAINER OF SEMICONDUCTOR, CONDUCTOR WORKERS OVER THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS AND THAT'S THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ACTION HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS AND SEMICONDUCTORS ARE GOING TO THE MANUFACTURING OF SEMICONDUCTORS ARE COMING BACK VERY STRONGLY.

SO ACC IS GOING THROUGH A TRANSITION.

WE HAVE A NEW CHANCELLOR. HE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

HE WANTED US TO GET TO A NORTH STAR GOAL OF 70% COMPLETIONS BY THE YEAR 2030 AND HE HAS A FOUR BUCKET WAY TO DO THIS, WHICH IS START STRONG. MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE ORIENTED TO THE INSTITUTION.

ENROLL FULL TIME.

SO REDUCE BARRIERS TO FULL TIME ENROLLMENT.

START INVESTIGATING THINGS SUCH AS EIGHT WEEK COURSES SO THAT STUDENTS CAN GET THE COURSES THEY NEED WHEN THEY NEED THEM, AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR COURSES AND AND THEY CAN GET THROUGH A LITTLE FASTER.

MEET THE STUDENTS BASIC NEEDS, PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO TO STUDENT CHALLENGES SUCH AS FOOD INSECURITY, SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION AND SECURITY AND THEN BUILD A CULTURE OF BELONGING AND CONNECTION.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES FOLKS ARE TIED TO THEIR FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY.

IT'S HOW DO WE MAKE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE AT HOME AT ACC, THAT THEY CAN GET THE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO GET TO COMPLETION AND SO WE ARE GOING THROUGH A SYSTEM WIDE TRANSFORMATION TO ALIGN OUR SYSTEMS TO GET STUDENTS THROUGH QUICKER.

NOW, THIS IS IN NO SMALL PART A RESULT OF THE CHANGING IN HOW COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE FUNDED.

THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THEY PASSED HOUSE BILL EIGHT.

THE LEGISLATURE WHICH CHANGED OUR FUNDING, FRANKLY, FROM A BUTTS IN SEATS MODEL TO A COMPLETION MODEL.

SO WE ARE NOW BASED ON OUR OUTCOMES, AND WE ARE NOW ENCOURAGED TO GET OUR STUDENTS INTO THE SYSTEM, GET THEM ADVISED PROPERLY, AND GET THEM ON THEIR WAY SO THAT THEY CAN GET TO THAT NEXT STEP, BE IT A FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION OR STRAIGHT INTO THE WORKFORCE.

SO HOUSE BILL EIGHT HAS REALLY STARTING TO CHANGE HOW WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE STUDENTS KIND OF HANGING AROUND LIKE THEY LIKE THEY WERE IN THE PAST YOU KNOW, TAKING A CREDIT HERE, A CREDIT THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY FOCUSED IN OUR ADVISING AS WE AS WE BUILD THIS OUT.

SO WHEN WE WHEN THE SIGNATURES WERE COLLECTED AND WE PUBLISHED A SERVICE PLAN.

OH, SORRY. EXCUSE ME. YES.

WE JUST LOST OUR STREAMING TO THE OUTSIDE.

WE'RE GOING TO PAUSE A SECOND.

OKAY, SURE. NO PROBLEM.

IS THAT OKAY? JUST ALL GOOD.

CHECK THE ETA, AND THEN I'LL MAKE SURE GET IT DOCUMENTED IN CLOUDSTRIKE.

I ASSUME YOU ALL DON'T WANT ME TO START FROM THE BEGINNING.

WELL, WE COULD PICK IT UP HERE IN THE MIDDLE.

IT'S ALL GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS A LITTLE SENSITIVE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SEMICONDUCTORS HERE.

YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING OUR.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT MISS OUT ON MICRON.

WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK I MEAN I THINK THAT THERE'S I THINK THERE'S VALUE IN FLEXING THAT MUSCLE AND EXERCISING THAT MUSCLE FOR THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES DOWN THE PIKE.

SO, I'M AN OPTIMIST AND I FEEL LIKE THE COMMUNITY IS BETTER, BETTER OFF FOR HAVING GONE THROUGH THAT EXERCISE.

OH, I THINK WE DID A SUPERB JOB.

I THINK MICRON'S THE ONE THAT MISSED OUT.

BE HONEST. HOPE IT SNOWS A LOT UP IN BUFFALO.

YEAH, I HOPE THEY LOVE IT IF THEY'RE IN NEW YORK.

NOT THAT WE'RE BITTER OR ANYTHING.

[INAUDIBLE].

[00:25:16]

THIRD QUARTER. WELL YOU COULDN'T STOP THE RUN FOR ANYTHING.

WELL THEY CHANGED QUARTERBACKS TOO.

YEAH. OH THEY DID? YEAH. TO MARCEL READ.

OH, BUT IT WAS FUN.

LIKE THAT'S A VERY, LIKE, ENCOMPASSING GAME.

[INAUDIBLE].

[00:30:11]

YES. NO QUESTIONS.

OH, DOCTOR. SARINE.

SARINE, CAN WE START ON THIS SLIDE AND WE'LL.

YEAH, WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

OKAY. IS EVERYBODY READY? LET ME GAVEL THIS BACK IN.

[INAUDIBLE].

WERE GOING TO BE OUT OF HERE AT 8:00.

[INAUDIBLE].ALL RIGHT, WE'RE READY. OKAY, EXCUSE ME.

IT IS 7:20.

WE'RE RETURNING FROM SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

OKAY, WE LOST OUR INTERNET STREAM, BUT WE'RE GOING TO RECORD THIS BY HAND FOR THE REST OF THE.

UNTIL WE'RE ABLE TO GET THAT BACK.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE ACC PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GETTING READY TO RECORD HERE.

[INAUDIBLE].

THERE YOU GO. [INAUDIBLE].

DOCTOR. WE'RE READY. GO AHEAD.

PROCEED. ALL RIGHT, SO JUST TO GET BACK TO THE OUR THEORY OF CHANGE.

OUR THEORY OF CHANGE IS INFORMED A LOT BY THE PASSAGE OF HOUSE BILL EIGHT, WHICH THE LEGISLATURE PASSED IN THE PRIOR LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

IT GOES FROM A FUNDING MODEL THAT WAS BASED ON STUDENTS ATTENDING AND CREDIT HOURS TO ACTUAL COMPLETION.

SO WE ARE NOW OUR STATE FUNDING IS BASED ON COMPLETION METRICS AND SO THIS HAS CAUSED US TO RETHINK HOW WE ARE ORGANIZED IN AN EFFORT TO GET 70% COMPLETIONS BY THE YEAR 2030 AND SO THERE ARE FOUR BUCKETS IN OUR THEORY OF CHANGE.

ONE IS START STRONG.

MAKE SURE STUDENTS ARE ADVISED.

MAKE SURE STUDENTS TAKE AS MUCH DUAL CREDIT AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR JOURNEYS.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IF A STUDENT COMPLETES SEVEN HOURS OF DUAL CREDIT WHILE THEY'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME AND FARE BETTER AND COMPLETION IN HIGHER EDUCATION DOWN THE ROAD.

ENROLL FULL TIME.

RIGHT NOW, ONLY ABOUT 24% OF OUR STUDENTS ENROLL FULL TIME, AND THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF CREDIT HOURS TAKEN IS ABOUT SEVEN.

SO WE FEEL IF WE CAN WORK IN HOW OUR CLASSES ARE SCHEDULED, STRATEGICALLY INVESTIGATE THINGS SUCH AS EIGHT WEEK COURSES AND RETHINK ABOUT, AND FRANKLY, MAKE COLLEGE MORE AFFORDABLE.

WE CAN ENCOURAGE MORE STUDENTS TO TO ENROLL FULL TIME, WHICH WILL IN TURN GET THEM THROUGH THE COMPLETION FASTER.

THE THIRD ONE IS TO MEET THE BASIC NEEDS.

CENTRAL TEXAS IS NOT A CHEAP PLACE TO LIVE ANYMORE, IF IT EVER WAS.

IT IS, YOU KNOW, HOUSING CHALLENGES, FOOD SECURITY CHALLENGES.

SO HOW DO WE WORK WITH OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO BETTER GLUE TOGETHER SERVICES FOR STUDENTS? WE'RE VERY INTENTIONAL AND FOCUSED ON THAT ISSUE AND THEN CREATING A CULTURE OF BELONGING AND CONNECTION IN THE INSTITUTION SO THAT PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG THERE, THAT THEY CAN GET WHAT THEY NEED OUT OF ACC AND GET ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND THEN MAYBE WHEN THEY BECOME ALUMNI, SUPPORT THE COLLEGE AND HELP THE STUDENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE.

AND SO IN EACH OF THOSE BUCKETS, THERE ARE MAYBE 5 OR 6 INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED AND WORKED ON BY GROUPS.

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT OUR NEW CHANCELLOR AND THE WAY HE WANTS TO DESIGN IT IS THERE IS NOBODY WITH A VICE CHANCELLOR TITLE OR AN ASSOCIATE VICE CHANCELLOR TITLE INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN FOR THE THEORY OF CHANGE.

THE THEORY OF CHANGE AND ALL OF THESE INTERVENTIONS ARE BEING DESIGNED BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE WORK ON THE GROUND UP.

IT'S A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE'RE DOING INSTITUTIONAL TRANSFORMATION, AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT AT ACC.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE SERVICE PLAN AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE CONTEMPLATED THEREIN.

WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, WE HAD HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PLACES IN WHICH AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAD

[00:35:01]

THE FIRST PHASE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DEPENDENT ON BUILDING A VERY STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ISD.

YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY ALREADY DO HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP IN AREAS OF LIKE DUAL CREDIT, EARLY COLLEGE, HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT THINKING ABOUT IF WE CAN USE YOUR SPACES ON EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS FOR HANDS ON LEARNING THAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE A VERY FIRST, EASY FIRST STEP THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT.

PHASE TWO.

WE CONTEMPLATED A LEASE OF A FACILITY OR A GREENFIELD FACILITY THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED ABOUT 15 TO 20,000FT², WHERE WE COULD START PROVIDING INSTRUCTION IN A BUILDING THAT WE CONTROLLED.

THAT WAS A THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE DURING THE DAY AND NOT NECESSARILY BE RELIANT ON NIGHT AND WEEKENDS AND THAT WOULD BE ORIGINALLY AS IT WAS PLANNED.

IT WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO LOCKHART HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT IS STILL IN PLACE.

BUT IN THE INTERVENING TIME, WE'VE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT ANNEXATION, AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, IS IT'S GIVEN US A CHANCE TO REALLY KIND OF COME INTO THE COMMUNITY AND MEET PEOPLE AND START KIND OF LOOKING AT FACILITIES AND SO I WILL SAY THAT THAT WE'VE ALSO LOOKED AT AND IT'S NO SECRET, WE'VE ALSO LOOKED AT THAT FORD BUILDING DOWNTOWN AS A POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, OF A PHASE TWO SPOT THERE.

THAT BUILDING IS ABOUT 20,000 SQUARE FEET.

IT'S ABOUT 75% FOR HANDS ON SKILLED TRADES.

THE OLD SHOP AREA AND ABOUT 25% COULD BE CLASSROOM TYPE SPACE.

SO THAT SPACE WAS INTRIGUING TO US, AS WELL AS THE IDEA OF DEVELOPING SOME OF THE SPACE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO WE'VE PRESENTED TO OUR BOARD THESE VARIOUS SCENARIOS.

OUR BOARD, YOU KNOW, WAS, YOU KNOW, POSITIVE, LIKE THEY OBVIOUSLY WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ELECTION BUT I THINK EITHER SCENARIO ARE HEALTHY OPTIONS FOR HOW WE GO INTO THAT PHASE TWO OF A FACILITY DEVELOPMENT HERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEN OF COURSE, PHASE THREE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONG TERM PERMANENT, YOU KNOW, MULTI ACRE FACILITY IN THE DISTRICT TO BE ANNEXED AND THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY COME IN TIME.

AS YOU KNOW, WE GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WE START HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LIKE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT'S COMING IN BECAUSE THEN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BUILD TO WHAT THE DEMAND IS GOING TO BE.

WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO STAY 20% FULL.

WE WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FILL WITH WHATEVER THE DEMAND PROGRAMS ARE AND THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS A FULL CONTACT SPORT. IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF CONVERSATION, A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS HERE IN LOCKHART.

SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR FREE TUITION PILOT PROGRAM.

BEFORE I TALK ABOUT OUR TUITION RATE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR NEW CHANCELLOR LOOKED AT WHEN HE CAME WAS THAT IN CENTRAL TEXAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, 60% OF ALL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WENT SOMEWHERE FOR POST-SECONDARY, AND NOW IT'S ABOUT 42%.

SO WE HAVE SO ABOUT 60% OF OUR STUDENTS GO NOWHERE AND AS HE LIKES TO SAY THE COMPETITION IS BETWEEN SOMEWHERE AND NOWHERE AND NOWHERE IS KICKING OUR BUTT AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE WANTED TO LOOK AT WAS, HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE STUDENTS, RIGHT AT A HIGH SCHOOL TO COME INTO THE COME IN AND GO RIGHT AWAY? AND SO WE CONCEIVED THIS FREE TUITION PILOT PROGRAM AND OUR BOARD PASSED IT AND SO STARTING WITH THE CLASS OF 2024, STUDENTS GRADUATING FROM SERVICE AREA HIGH SCHOOLS GET THEIR TUITION WAIVED.

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE TAXING DISTRICT, YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY THE OUT-OF-DISTRICT FEE.

SO FOR STUDENTS IN LOCKHART, A CREDIT HOUR CURRENTLY IS ABOUT $286 A CREDIT HOUR.

IT IS NOW $201 A CREDIT HOUR IF YOU'RE PART OF THAT COHORT.

NOW, IF ANNEXATION WERE TO PASS, THE $201 WOULD GO AWAY.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, SO OUR TUITION IS ABOUT $85 A CREDIT HOUR IN DISTRICT FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING COHORTS.

IT IS NOW ZERO AND SO STARTING WITH THE CLASS OF 2024 AND OUR BOARD PASSED IT AS A FIVE YEAR PILOT, THAT WE FEEL THAT WILL GIVE US ENOUGH DATA TO GET A SENSE AS TO HOW THAT'S IMPACTING OUR COMPLETION METRICS AND WHETHER OR NOT IT'S DOING THE JOB THAT WE INTENDED IT TO DO.

[00:40:05]

IF ANNEXATION PASSES, THE OUT OF DISTRICT FEE WOULD GO AWAY AND FOR THE CLASS OF 2024 GRADUATES, THAT MEANS THAT THEIR ACC WOULD BECOME FREE AT THAT POINT STARTING IN JANUARY.

SO IF YOU WERE A CLASS OF 2024 GRADUATE AND YOU WERE PAYING $201 A CREDIT HOUR IN THE FALL SEMESTER, IN THE SPRING SEMESTER, IT WOULD BE ZERO FOR THAT GROUP.

SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF A PLAY OUT OF HOW OUR TUITION PLAYS OUT GENERALLY, OUR OUT-OF-DISTRICT FEE MEANS FOR A 60 CREDIT HOUR ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY ABOUT 17,000, WHICH IS STILL LESS THAN 60 HOURS AT TEXAS A&M, UT, TEXAS STATE, AND OBVIOUSLY THE PRIVATES.

BUT IN DISTRICT IT'S $5,100.

YOU CAN GET AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AT ACC, 60 CREDIT HOURS FOR $5,100.

SO THE CONTEMPLATION FOR THE VOTERS OF LOCKHART ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO BALANCE, OBVIOUSLY, THE IN-DISTRICT TUITION CUSTOMIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS, AS I'VE DISCUSSED INCREASED SERVICES AND INVESTMENT FACILITIES AND THE ABILITY FOR SOMEBODY HERE IN LOCKHART TO RUN AND SERVE ON THE ACC BOARD.

OUR BOARD IS AT LARGE, AND WE DO HAVE A VERY KIND OF A IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BOARD MEMBERS, IT'S A VERY DIVERSE GEOGRAPHIC SPREAD OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS.

SO THERE'S THE ABILITY TO RUN FOR THE ACC BOARD AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE FISCAL IMPLICATIONS IS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A TAX AND SO THIS IS WHY THIS MODEL IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

BECAUSE IT'S NOW UP TO THE VOTERS AND THE PEOPLE OF LOCKHART TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AND IT'S A DETERMINATION FOR THEM TO MAKE AT ACC WE ARE NEUTRAL ON ISSUES OF ANNEXATION.

WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, BUT IT'S UP TO THE VOTERS, ULTIMATELY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR THEM AND THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SO THE WAY THIS PLAYS OUT, THE TAXES PLAY OUT.

OUR TAX RATE CURRENTLY IS 10.1 $0.03 PER $100 OF VALUATION.

SO AT AN AVERAGE ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUE OF $234,000, THE REGULAR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IS ABOUT 1938 A MONTH.

THE SENIOR DISABLED EXEMPTION IS ABOUT $13 A MONTH AND COMMERCIAL IS ABOUT 1960 A MONTH AND SO THE WAY IT PLAYS OUT IS WE HAVE A $5,000 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

WE HAVE A $75,000 EXEMPTION FOR SENIORS AND FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE A DISABILITY STATUS AND IN 2021, OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES ENACTED A TAX FREEZE FOR ALL RESIDENTS WHO ARE 65 PLUS.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPLAINING THE EXEMPTIONS FOR LOCKHART RESIDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY 65.

IF ANNEXATION WERE TO PASS, THEIR TAXES WOULD BE FROZEN AT THE RATE THAT IS IN EXISTENCE WHEN THE ANNEXATION COMES INTO PLAY.

SO I WANTED TO POINT OUT THIS SLIDE THAT OUR TAX RATE IS PRETTY STABLE.

IT'S BEEN OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, WE'VE RANGED FROM ABOUT NINE AND A HALF CENTS TO TEN AND A HALF CENTS AND THE REASON WE ARE CAPPED AT 9% MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, AND ANYTHING ABOVE THAT IS DEBT SERVICE AND SO FROM 2014 UNTIL NOW, WE HAD A $386 MILLION BOND.

THAT AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SAW IT GO UP TO ABOUT TEN AND A HALF CENTS AND NOW AS THAT BOND HAS GOTTEN PAID OFF THE RATE HAS COME BACK DOWN.

WHEN WE PASSED THE 2022 BOND, WE PASSED THAT BOND WITH A PLEDGE TO THE TAXPAYERS THAT WE WOULD NOT RAISE THEIR TAX RATES BEYOND WHERE IT FELL IN THIS KIND OF HISTORICAL RANGE.

SO THE TAX RATES WOULD STAY FAIRLY STABLE AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF END WITH, YOU KNOW, WE ARE VERY TIGHT WITH OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST, TEXAS STATE.

THEY OBVIOUSLY, I ASSUME, ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU ALL HERE.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE CLOSEST UNIVERSITY.

SO WE WORKED WITH DOCTOR [INAUDIBLE] TO DEVELOP A BATS TO CATS PROGRAM, WHICH IS A BASICALLY AN EASY BUTTON FOR TRANSFER FOR OUR STUDENTS.

THEY ACCEPT OUR CREDITS.

WE, THEY GET A PERSONALIZED TRANSFER CURRICULUM AND THERE ARE OTHER BENEFITS IN TERMS OF A SCHOLARSHIP AND WE'RE GOING TO CREATE ALONG WITH THE BELONGING CONNECTION, LIKE A CONNECTION BETWEEN ACC STUDENTS WHO ARE NOW TEXAS STATE STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN COME BACK AND

[00:45:06]

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE IT AT THAT.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF GREAT CO-ENROLLMENT AND TRANSFER PROGRAMS IN PLACE.

UT AUSTIN IS ACTUALLY OUR BIGGEST TRANSFER PARTNER TEXAS A&M ENGINEERING.

WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT IS SPONSORED BY SAMSUNG AT THIS POINT.

IT USED TO BE SPONSORED BY CHEVRON AND THAT PROGRAM STUDENTS CAN DO THEIR FIRST THREE YEARS AT THE FIRST TWO YEARS AT ACC AND THEN DEPENDING ON THEIR CO ENROLLED DEPENDING ON AT ACC PRICES.

SORRY. THEY WOULD THEN TRANSFER INTO A&M AT THE ENGINEERING SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE.

DEPENDING ON THEIR GPA.

IF THEIR GPA IS A LITTLE LOWER THEY'D GET SLOTTED, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE ELSE.

STILL IN ENGINEERING THOUGH AND THEN CONCORDIA WE HAVE A GOOD RECIPROCATION AGREEMENT WITH CONCORDIA TEXAS TECH.

WE HAVE A TEACHERS PROGRAM.

IT'S CALLED A TECH TEACH PROGRAM, WHERE STUDENTS DO THREE YEARS AT ACC AND THEN THEIR LAST YEARS WITH TEXAS TECH, FOR TEACHER TRAINING AND WE JUST INKED A PROGRAM WITH ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, WHICH IS KIND OF EXCITING.

SO THAT'S THE GENERAL PRESENTATION.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION OR, AND IF I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL GET BACK TO YOU BEFORE NOVEMBER 5TH, I PROMISE.

OR DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK GOOD PRESENTATION SIR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM 8B BORCHERT LOOP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UPDATE.

[Borchert Loop Elementary School Update]

WHILE MISS WEISER WALKING UP, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A NOTE.

MISS WEISER WILL KICK OFF THIS PRESENTATION AND LEAD OUR PRESENTATION.

SHE IS LEADING OUR CHARGE AS WE GO INTO PLANNING TO OPEN UP THIS BUILDING.

EVERYTHING THAT SHE'S GOING TO GO INTO TODAY.

I'M JUST VERY PROUD OF THE THOUGHT AND EFFORT SHE'S PUTTING INTO THIS PROCESS.

IT'S A VERY EXCITING TIME.

NOT ONLY ARE WE BUILDING AND MR. CHAPMAN IS LEADING THE CONSTRUCTION IN, WE HAVE TO ALSO PREPARE TO OPEN AND STAFF AND, YOU KNOW, DO ALL THOSE FUN THINGS AS WELL.

SO VERY EXCITED TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS WEISER AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. ESTRADA. LIKE HE SAID, I'M SUPER EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS NEW SCHOOL THAT WE ARE OPENING.

IT'S JUST VERY EXCITING FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IT'S 259 DAYS UNTIL MOVING DAY, AND THAT IS IF WE MOVE IN ON JULY 14TH.

SO THAT'S THE GOAL IS TO MOVE IN ON JULY 14TH IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY.

SO I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WE'RE 259 DAYS AWAY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'RE STARTING SO THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THAT MOVING DAY.

SO THIS EVENING WE'LL TALK ABOUT FF&E.

WE'LL LOOK AT THE TIMELINE FOR THAT.

WE'LL LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY.

WE'LL LOOK AT I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REALLY WAITING FOR, WHICH IS THE BUDGET IMPACT OF THIS NEW SCHOOL.

THE STAFFING TIMELINE AND THE ATTENDANCE ZONE UPDATE.

DOCTOR CAMARILLO IS GOING TO COME IN AND GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT.

SO THE FIRST THING I WANT TO GO OVER IS FURNITURES, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT.

THAT'S OUR FF&E.

SO THIS HAS BEEN REALLY FUN ALREADY AND I WANT TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TIMELINE HERE.

SO HAPPENING RIGHT NOW FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOW, NOVEMBER NEXT MONTH IS WE'RE HAVING FURNITURE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

TANYA HOLMAN IS LEADING THAT CHARGE AND SHE IS HAVING A GREAT TIME SHOPPING FOR ALL OF.

LOOK HOW EXCITED SHE IS.

IT IS A LOT OF FUN TO LOOK AT ALL THE FURNITURE.

WE HAVE A COMMITTEE OF EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE DISTRICT IN DIFFERENT AREAS THAT ARE HELPING WITH THE FURNITURE IN THIS SCHOOL, AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT NOW, INCLUDING OUR EXECUTIVE PRINCIPALS ON THAT AS WELL AND IN NOVEMBER, WE'LL START DESIGNING THAT WITH THE ARCHITECTS AND FINALIZE ALL OUR CONSUMABLES THAT WE HAVE TO ORDER FOR ALL OF THE CLASSROOMS AND THEN IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, WE GET TO START BUYING IT ALL SO THAT THEY WILL.

SO IT CAN BE DELIVERED LATER IN THE SUMMER.

SO LOOKING AT.

SORRY, I WENT A LITTLE BIT FAST HERE IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

LOOK TOWARD THAT'S WHEN WE'LL START BRINGING IT FOR APPROVAL SO WE CAN START MAKING THOSE LARGE PURCHASES OF THOSE FURNITURE SO THEY CAN START PREPARING FOR IT FOR US, OUR LIBRARY BOOKS AS WELL, FEBRUARY THROUGH MAY, WILL ORDER ALL OF THOSE CLASSROOM CONSUMABLES, AND IN JUNE WILL BE THE DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION OF ALL THE CLASSROOM FURNITURE, THE OFFICE FURNITURE, THE LIBRARY FURNITURE, WITH A GOAL OF THAT FF&E BEING COMPLETED BY THE MIDDLE OF JULY.

[00:50:13]

A LOT OF THE TECHNOLOGY IS INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING, SO AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS IS INCLUDED IN THE THE CONSTRUCTION SECURITY CAMERAS.

BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE TO PURCHASE, AND SO WE WILL BRING THAT ACTION IN EITHER JANUARY OR FEBRUARY, WHEN WE'RE READY TO ORDER THE PANELS FOR THOSE CLASSROOMS AND THEN SAME GOAL HOPE TO HAVE.

WE'LL HAVE THAT DONE BY THE MIDDLE OF JULY IN TIME FOR THE SCHOOL TO OPEN.

THIS IS THE FUN PART, THE BUDGET IMPACT.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BUDGET STAFFING IMPACT FOR BORCHERT LOOP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THERE WILL BE NEW STAFF THAT WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE.

SO WE'LL HAVE NEW ALL NEW ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, WHICH IS GOING TO BE YOUR FRONT OFFICE STAFF.

WE'LL HAVE A COUNSELOR, A NURSE.

THOSE ARE ALL NEW POSITIONS FOR THAT NEW FACILITY FOR THAT BUILDING.

SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS SPECIALS TEACHERS, A NEW ART TEACHER, A NEW PE TEACHER, A NEW MUSIC TEACHER.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'LL GO IN THE OPERATIONS SIDE FOR ADDITIONAL CUSTODIAL STAFF, WHICH WOULD WE CONTRACT THAT OUT? BUT WE WILL NEED MORE CUSTODIANS, MORE CHILD NUTRITION STAFF AND OF COURSE A CONSTABLE FOR THIS CAMPUS.

AS FAR AS CLASSROOM TEACHERS GO, THE TEACHERS WILL FOLLOW THE STUDENTS, SO WE WILL BE STAFFING THE SCHOOL.

WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL NEED NEW POSITIONS BECAUSE WE ARE DEFINITELY GROWING, AND THE WAY THAT THE ZONES WILL SHAPE OUT, WE MIGHT NEED, I THINK PROBABLY AT LEAST FIVE, PROBABLY FIVE IS WHAT I'M GUESSING RIGHT NOW.

HOWEVER, WE WON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE UNTIL WE HAVE THE ATTENDANCE ZONE.

BUT I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT WE HAVE A NEW SCHOOL AND WE NEED 20 NEW TEACHERS.

THAT'S EVERYTHING WILL ADJUST AS THE ATTENDANCE ZONES SHAKE OUT.

IF TEACHERS WANT TO TRANSFER, WILL THEY BE GET PRIORITY IF THEY'RE IN DISTRICT ALREADY? YES THEY WILL.

SO WE'VE LOOKED AT WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO OTHER DISTRICTS TO SEE WHAT THEY DO AND GETTING THEIR ADVICE AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THEY THAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT IF A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS FROM ONE CAMPUS IS COMING, WELL, THEN WE WOULD WANT TO CAP THAT PERCENTAGE AT THAT CAMPUS.

BUT THAT'S HOW IT WOULD START OFF AND THEN AS VOLUNTEERS, IF WE NEED MORE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FROM ONE TO THE OTHER, THEN WE WOULD WANT TO, THEN WE WILL LOOK AT IT THAT WAY AS WELL.

I HOPE THAT HELPED. DID THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH. ON THE OPERATIONS SIDE.

SO THAT WAS THE STAFFING SIDE.

ON THE OPERATIONS SIDE I'VE STARTED A BUDGET OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE THOUGHT OF AGAIN, IN TALKING TO OTHER DISTRICTS AND JUST LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET OVERALL FOR EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND SEEING WHERE IT WOULD BE.

WE'LL HAVE WE HAVE ALL THE SOFTWARES THAT WE USE.

OUR ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ON THOSE WILL GO UP WITH A NEW FACILITY.

SO I CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE BUDGET 75,000 FOR THOSE, OF COURSE, THE UTILITIES ON THAT CAMPUS.

I'M BUDGETING FOR IT RIGHT NOW AT 125,000.

WE'LL NEED TO INCREASE THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW SCHOOL THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING AND ON THE TRANSPORTATION SIDE, THAT'S KIND OF THE SAME WAY AS TEACHERS LIKE THE ROUTES WILL JUST KIND OF CHANGE.

WE DON'T IF WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE MESS.

MORE OF STUDENTS RIGHT AWAY.

WE MAY NOT HAVE AS MANY ROUTES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT STARTING IN JANUARY AGAIN, WHEN WE HAVE THE NEW ATTENDANCE ZONES AND THEN THE SUPPLY BUDGET JUST TO RUN THE CAMPUS WILL RUN AROUND $40,000.

SO ON THE STAFFING SIDE, WE HAVE A $1.6 MILLION BUDGET.

ON THE OPERATING SIDE, WE HAVE 465,000 WITH A LITTLE OVER OF $2 MILLION BUDGET IMPACT.

FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THIS SCHOOL, WE WILL RECEIVE A NEW FACILITY ALLOTMENT FROM THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY.

IT'S $1,000 A STUDENT, SO IT WILL HELP WITH THIS.

IN ADDITION TO THE GROWTH THAT WE HAVE EACH YEAR WITH OUR STUDENTS AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WILL INCREASE IN THE NEW LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

YEAH. YOU KNOW.

OKAY. KEEP THAT NUGGET IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND AS WHEN DOCTOR CAMARILLO COMES UP AND SHARES PROJECTIONS FOR ENROLLMENT.

YOU'LL SEE VERY QUICKLY THAT CAMPUS WITH THE DEVELOPMENTS OUT THERE GROWING IN ENROLLMENT.

SO AS THAT TWO YEAR FUNDING DISAPPEARS IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE OFFSET BY INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT.

[00:55:04]

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS THINGS GET MOVED AROUND, ALL THE CAMPUSES ARE STAFFED.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STARTING THAT EARLY SO THAT WE FEEL GOOD FOR NEXT YEAR.

SO FROM NOW UNTIL JANUARY, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE ATTENDANCE ZONE COMMITTEE, LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

THAT WAY WE CAN SEE WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE FALLING, WHAT PROGRAMS WILL NEED TO BE OUT AT BORCHERT LOOP, AND THEN THAT WILL ALLOW US TO SET STAFFING NUMBERS FOR THAT CAMPUS, HOW MANY TEACHERS WE WILL NEED FOR EACH GRADE, AND HOW MANY GENERAL ED TEACHERS VERSUS BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

THAT WAY WE CAN SEE WHAT WE NEED.

OH MY WORD, THAT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.

I CAN'T EVEN.

SO WHAT THIS SAYS IS THAT IN FEBRUARY, WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE CAMPUS ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS BY GRADE AND PROGRAM TO DETERMINE OUR TEACHING NEED.

SO IN FEBRUARY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO SET THOSE NUMBERS, LIKE I SAID AND THEN HR AND THE EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL WILL BEGIN WORKING THROUGH THAT.

I APOLOGIZE THAT THAT COLOR DID NOT COME ACROSS AS WELL AS IT DID ON PAPER.

THIS ONE LOOKS BETTER, MUCH BETTER IN MARCH.

THIS IS WHEN WE WILL BRING ANY NEW POSITIONS THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR 2526.

SO EVEN THE POSITION THAT WHILE WE HAVE SOME THAT MIGHT BE MOVING FROM OTHER CAMPUSES AS EVERYTHING AS OTHER CAMPUSES ARE RECEIVING RELIEF WITH PORTRAIT LOOP OPENING, WE WILL NEED NEW POSITIONS AND SO LOOK FOR US TO BRING THOSE IN MARCH.

THAT WAY WE CAN START THAT HIRING PROCESS AND GET GOING FOR THAT ONE.

WE WILL CONTINUE THE STAFFING PROCESS FOR TEACHERS THAT WILL HAVE STARTED IN FEBRUARY, AND THEN APRIL THROUGH JUNE WILL JUST COMPLETE ALL OF THAT NEW STAFFING.

THAT WAY WE'RE READY TO GO AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN 25-26.

THIS IS THE STAFFING TIMELINE FOR BORCHERT LOOP.

THIS IS ALSO FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOLS THAT WILL BE IMPACTED BY POTENTIALLY HAVING OTHERS THAT IF THEY TRANSFER AND IT CREATES A WATERFALL BEHIND IT.

AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO PASS IT OVER TO DOCTOR CAMARILLO AND SHE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE ZONING UPDATE.

GOOD EVENING. AS MR. ESTRADA SAID, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT DOING THIS.

I WAS JUST WITH A LOT OF DEPUTY SUPES AND SECOND IN COMMAND FOLKS IN OTHER DISTRICTS, AND THEY'RE CLOSING DOWN SCHOOLS, SO IT'S EXCITING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS THIS EVENING.

IT'S EXCITING ALSO THAT I FOUND OUT I MIGHT HAVE A CAREER IN CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THE DISTRICT.

SO ALL RIGHT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

I WANTED TO THANK THE ATTENDANCE REZONING COMMITTEE, WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THREE MEETINGS ALREADY AND GOING TO OUR FOURTH ONE.

WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD INPUT FROM OUR COMMITTEE AND THINKING THROUGH HOW WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS.

ALSO TO YOU ALL FOR GIVING US THE GUIDANCE WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS A WHILE BACK AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A TIMELINE.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AND KIND OF LOOKING INTO DOING THIS.

SO WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS WE STARTED BACK IN APRIL 22ND, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR LOOKING AT NAMING OF THE SCHOOL.

THE EXCITEMENT AROUND THAT AND KIND OF WHERE WE'VE GONE THROUGH DEMOGRAPHER MEETINGS THIS YEAR AND KIND OF LOOKING AT WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR GROWTH PROJECTIONS AND NOW WE'VE STARTED THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE GOING INTO ENROLLMENT DATA THAT WE JUST COLLECTED.

WE'VE HAD WE'RE ON OUR THIRD COMMITTEE MEETING THAT WE HAD AND NOW WHERE WE SIT TODAY IS WE HAD OUR COMMUNITY TOWN HALL MEETING THIS MORNING, AND WE HAD, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAD TWO PARENTS THAT SHOWED UP, BUT WE HAD SOME TWO COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND SOME STAFF MEMBERS.

BUT IT WAS IT'S GOOD FEEDBACK THAT THEY GAVE US THREE PARENTS THAT SHOWED UP.

SO WE ALSO ANTICIPATE NEXT MONDAY WE'LL HAVE AN EVENING ONE SO THAT PEOPLE COULD DECIDE TO COME TO THE MORNING OR THE AFTER WORK MEETING.

SO WE'LL REPEAT THAT SESSION NEXT MONDAY IN THE EVENING FROM 5:30 TO 6:30 AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR FOURTH COMMITTEE MEETING AND THEN WE PLAN TO HAVE THE REVIEW OF THE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU ALL IN NOVEMBER AND THEN IN DECEMBER, WE'LL HAVE YOU ALL DECIDE FINAL APPROVAL, AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO THE SPRING SEMESTER THAT WITH OUR GOAL TO HAVE NOTIFICATIONS OUT TO PARENTS BY SPRING BREAK OR RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK, SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW WITH ENOUGH NOTICE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING IF THEY'RE IMPACTED AND THEN OUR DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME DEVELOPING NEW BUS ROUTES FOR ALL OUR CAMPUS, FOR ALL OUR CAMPUSES.

SO HE'LL BE DOING THAT FROM APRIL THROUGH JUNE, AND THEN WE OPEN THE SCHOOL, AS MISS WEISER SAID ON IN AUGUST.

SO WHEN I MET WITH YOU ALL, WE TALKED ABOUT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

[01:00:02]

WE WANTED TO MINIMIZE THAT DISRUPTION THAT THE GROWTH CAN BRING TO A DISTRICT.

YOU ALSO DISCUSSED THE IMPORTANCE OF WE STILL NEED TO ALLOW ROOM FOR GROWTH.

AND THAT'S OUR UNLOCKING POTENTIAL VALUE AS WELL AS ALL STUDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A QUALITY EDUCATION AND THAT IS OUR LOCKDOWN EXCELLENCE VALUE.

THESE WERE THE THREE THINGS WE CONSISTENTLY WENT BACK TO IN OUR DECISIONS THROUGH THE THREE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, TO KIND OF USE IT AS A CHECKLIST OF WHAT WE WERE DOING WITH ALL OUR DECISIONS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, OUR THOUGHT EXCHANGE ALSO TALKED A LOT AND MADE SOME REFERENCES TO EQUITY.

SO AS A GROUP, WE DECIDED TO DEFINE WHAT EQUITY MEANT TO US AS A COMMITTEE SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF EQUITY.

SO WE FILLED OUT A THOUGHT EXCHANGE FOR OUR COMMITTEE, AND THE DEFINITION CAME TO EQUITY MEANS ENSURING THAT EVERY STUDENT RECEIVES THE BEST RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES TAILORED TO THEIR NEEDS, RATHER THAN IDENTICAL RESOURCES AT EVERY CAMPUS.

SO AGAIN, ANOTHER LITMUS TEST FOR US AS WE MAKE DECISIONS THAT WE'RE ALL LANDING ON THIS DEFINITION OF EQUITY.

SO WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COMMITTEE MEETING DATES AND AS YOU CAN SEE, I LISTED ALL THE PURPOSES OF EACH OF THE MEETINGS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, LIKE IN COMMITTEE MEETING TWO, WE REVIEWED SURVEY RESULTS.

WE CAME UP WITH THE EQUITY DEFINITION AND WE BUILT BASE ENROLLMENTS.

WE ALSO LISTED THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT THOUGHTEXCHANGE HAS GONE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE'VE KEPT IT OPEN.

I'VE HAD THREE ATTENDANCE ZONE CHATS IN THE END ZONE WITH THE FOOTBALL GAMES, HOME FOOTBALL GAMES WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME UP AND ASK QUESTIONS, THEY CAN FILL OUT THE THOUGHT EXCHANGE, OR THEY CAN LOOK AT THE VIDEO OF THE NEW SCHOOL AND JUST ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAD.

WE'LL HAVE OUR LAST ONE FOR THE LAST HOME GAME, WHICH IS NOVEMBER 1ST, IS THIS FRIDAY AND WELCOME ANYBODY WHO'S ONLINE WATCHING.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP AND JUST ASK QUESTIONS AND SPEAK TO ME DIRECTLY ABOUT THAT.

OUR TOWN HALL MEETINGS, WE HAD OUR FIRST ONE, THEN THE SECOND ONE WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 5TH.

SO OUR THOUGHT EXCHANGE, WE HAD 285 PARTICIPANTS.

WE'VE HAD 103 THOUGHTS, WITH OVER 3000 RATINGS ON THE THOUGHTS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND THIS AND YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, THOUGHT EXCHANGE REALLY HELPS US BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LEARNING IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN MAKE COMMENTS ANONYMOUSLY, BUT THEN EVERYBODY CAN RATE THOSE THOUGHTS OF WHAT THEY FEEL IS IMPORTANT TO THEM VERSUS US TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM.

THE OTHER BEAUTY OF THOUGHT EXCHANGE IS THAT IT CAN BRING TWO DIFFERENT POLAR OPPOSITE SIDES OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING INTO A COMMON GROUND AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WHAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE GROUP, THOSE THAT WERE RATING AND PUTTING IN THEIR THOUGHTS, WAS THAT BOTH SIDES AGREE THE IMPORTANCE OF A BALANCED ENROLLMENT ACROSS SCHOOLS, AND ALSO THAT WE'RE NOT OVERCROWDING THEM AND UNDERUTILIZING OUR SPACE.

IT ALSO GIVES US OUR TOP TEN RATED THOUGHTS, AND I'VE LISTED THEM HERE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AS EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT GROWTH PROJECTIONS.

THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT CLASS SIZES.

YOU KNOW HOW WE'RE ZONING FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, LOGICALLY BALANCING THE POPULATION.

THE NEXT FIVE.

THEY TALKED ABOUT THE ROADS TO THE NEW SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC. THERE'S A CONCERN AROUND THAT.

AGAIN, MEANING THAT THE NUMBER TEN THING THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM DOWN HERE IS LOOKING AT THAT WAS THE 10TH ONE, BUT THEN THE RATINGS MOVED THIS OTHER THOUGHT TO NUMBER TEN, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.

IT'S STILL LOOKING AT HOW THE DISTANCE TRAVEL TIME FOR EACH OF THE STUDENTS.

SO KIND OF LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND WHAT WE'VE HAD AS A BACKDROP TO EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS WE ARE GROWING AS A DISTRICT, THE BEST TRANSPORTATION.

AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO MINIMIZE A LOT OF TIME ON THE BUS BECAUSE WE'RE SUCH A VAST DISTRICT, IT WILL HAVE SOME IMPACT ON SOME BUS ROUTES, BUT NOT ALL TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO REALLY SHORTEN IT.

WE'VE ALSO HAD TO CONSIDER WHERE THE CURRENT ENROLLED STUDENTS ARE, WHERE ARE THEY LIVING, IN ADDITION TO WHERE THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING, WE ALSO HAVE FOR THE SCHOOL SITES ARE LOCATED. I WAS TELLING THE GROUP THIS MORNING THAT IT WAS INTERESTING WHEN A LITTLE KID FROM JUNIOR HIGH COMES UP AND LOOKS AT THE MAP AND SHE SAYS SHOULDN'T YOU BE BUILDING SCHOOLS ON THE OUTER SIDE? NOT ALL IN THE MIDDLE, SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE.

AND I SAID, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND SO I SHOWED HER ON THE MAP WHERE SHE GOES, WELL, THAT'S SMART.

SO I WAS GLAD TO HAVE HER INPUT ON THAT.

ALSO JUST SCHOOLS ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, AND THAT'S ONE THING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ON HOW WE'RE MAKING THE BOUNDARY LINES.

SO THAT BEING SAID, I WILL GO OVER.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE LOOKED AT THE TABLES BEFORE ON PROJECTIONS, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE WATCHING ONLINE, I JUST KIND OF WANT TO GO THROUGH THE DEFINITIONS OF SOME OF THOSE THINGS. PROJECTED ENROLLMENT YEAR.

SO YOU'LL SEE THE YEAR ON THE TABLE THAT SAYS 24, 25, 26 AND SO FORTH.

THAT'S THE FALL SEMESTER OF THAT SCHOOL YEAR.

THE REASON WE LOOK AT THAT FALL SEMESTER IS BECAUSE TOTAL ENROLLMENT.

[01:05:02]

FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY.

WE USE THE STANDARD PERCENTAGE OF 90% AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED, WHY ISN'T IT 100? 90% IS WE END UP HAVING DESIGNED SCHOOLS AND THE CLASS SIZES, BUT THERE ARE STUDENTS AND CLASSES THAT HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION.

SO THOSE ARE, AS YOU KNOW, SIZE DIFFERENTLY AND WE OUTFIT THOSE DIFFERENTLY.

CAPACITY UTILIZATION WHEN THE SCHOOL IS FULL.

TO SIMPLIFY IT I TOLD THEM THIS MORNING, WHITE SPACE IS GOOD.

RED SPACE IS NOT GOOD.

LIGHT COLORED RED.

WHEN YOU'LL SEE ON THE TABLES, WE HAVE SPACE TO MOVE STUDENTS TO OTHER CAMPUSES IF SPACE ALLOWS AND THEN DARK COLORED RED IS WE'RE MOVING MORE INTO SEVERE CROWDING, OVERCROWDING AND THEN SPACE. REMAINING, OF COURSE, IS THE AMOUNT OF SEATS REMAINING.

SO WE SHOWED THE COMMITTEES THIS IS WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE.

ON TO MR. ESTRADA'S POINT, YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THAT I GET TO USE THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

YOU SEE THAT WHERE THE RED WE'RE ALREADY TALKING THAT OVERCROWDING IN THIS AREA AND YOU CAN SEE ALREADY AT BLUEBONNET IN FALL OF 2026, WE'RE GOING TO BE AT 100% ALREADY.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS OUR CURRENT PICTURE.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF MAPS THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WERE JUST MAPS THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS SAYING.

THOSE ARE THEIR COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS OVER THOSE AREAS.

IT WAS AREAS OF INTEREST FOR THE COMMITTEE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST ONE, WE HAVE THE AERIAL ONES UP HERE.

AREA TWO IS THIS RIGHT HERE BETWEEN STRAWN AND PLUM CREEK AND THEN THREE BETWEEN PLUM CREEK AND NAVARRO.

THE REASON YOU SEE A TABLE OVER HERE IS BECAUSE IT WASN'T AS EASY AS SLICING A BOUNDARY LINE.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT BLUEBONNET INCHING OVER TO STRAWN, YOU START LOOKING AT THAT AREA.

ONE IS ONLY 27 STUDENTS.

THAT'S ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, OF WHICH ONLY TEN ARE EMERGENT BILINGUALS, FIVE SPECIAL ED AND THEN TWO GENERAL ED AND SO AREA TWO IS ANOTHER ONE THAT PEOPLE KEPT ASKING ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC AREA.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT ONLY WOULD INCLUDE 46 STUDENTS REMOVING 32 EMERGENT AND SO FORTH.

THE BIGGEST AREA WAS BETWEEN PLUM CREEK AND NOVATO, WHICH WAS 235 STUDENTS AND YOU CAN SEE OF THOSE 109 WERE GEN ED, AND THEN THE REST WERE EMERGENT, BILINGUAL OR SPECIAL ED. WE POINTED THAT OUT BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, AS MISS WEISER WAS SAYING, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE THE PROGRAMS ARE AS WELL AND WHAT WE'RE DOING, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T MOVE TEACHERS TO GO TO ANOTHER CAMPUS FOR ONLY FIVE EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS ARE THE OTHER.

A LOT OF AREAS OF INTEREST ON THE SECOND MAP WAS OR WERE THESE SECTIONS 4 OR 5, SIX AND SEVEN.

SO AGAIN, THAT AREA UP HERE BY STRAWN AND BLUEBONNET, PLUM CREEK, THIS BIG AREA AT NOVATO AND THEN KIND OF LOOKING OVER HERE NOW AT THAT AREA IN NOVATO.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE NUMBERS THERE FLUCTUATE BETWEEN THE AREAS AND HOW MANY STUDENTS.

IF YOU LOOK AT AREA SEVEN, WHICH WAS DOWN HERE, YOU END UP LOOKING AT 100 STUDENTS.

EVEN WITH THAT WHOLE AREA RIGHT THERE, WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT 100 STUDENTS WITH ONLY NINE EMERGENT BILINGUALS LIVING THERE.

18 SPED AND THEN 17 ARE YOUR GEN ED.

SO WE LOOKED AT THOSE BECAUSE THOSE ARE COMMON AREAS.

THE NEXT FORMAT THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WILL SHOW BORCHERT LOOP AND THEN THE DIFFERENT GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY AND HOW THEY SLICED UP THE BOUNDARIES. YES, SIR.

JUST TO POINT OUT WHAT DOCTOR CAMARILLO WAS MENTIONING, YOU KNOW, THE COMMITTEE, I THINK IT'S NATURAL TO LOOK AT OUR DISTRICT MAP AND SAY LIKE, OH, IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT THE LINE HERE BECAUSE OF THIS ROAD, OR WE NEED TO PUT THE LINE HERE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THIS IS LIKE AN ENDING OF ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, AT THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER. BUT IF YOU DO IT THAT WAY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS AND YOU HAVE TO PUT A LOT MORE THOUGHT THAN JUST NATURAL GEOGRAPHIC BREAKS IN THE COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHERE THE KIDS ARE LIVING.

WE ALL KNOW WE DRIVE AROUND AND THERE'S A LOT OF GREEN SPACE, THERE'S A LOT OF RURAL LAND.

THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ALSO ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY EDUCATING WHEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SEE COMMENTS LIKE, WELL, I HAD A PARENT TELL ME DIRECTLY, A KID SHOULD NEVER BE ON A BUS MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES.

WELL, WHEN KIDS LIVE 40 MINUTES AWAY, ONE WAY TO THE NEAREST SCHOOL, IT'S NOT PRACTICAL.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY LIVE OUT IN [INAUDIBLE], THERE'S NOT A SCHOOL THAT'S 30 MINUTES.

DRIVING DISTANCE TO THAT.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO LIVE WITH THE REALITY THAT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, EXCEPT FOR ONE, ARE CLUSTERED SO CLOSELY TOGETHER AND AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT AND GROW AS A DISTRICT, WE NEED TO PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO WHERE WE PUT OUR SCHOOLS, BECAUSE THEM BEING ALL CLUSTERED IS PROBABLY NOT

[01:10:05]

THANK YOU, MR. ESTRADA. SO I'M GOING TO GO TO GROUP ONE WHERE THEY LOOKED AT TRYING TO MOVE SOME OF THIS PCE NORTH INTO ABS.

WE LOOKED AT MOVING SOME OF ABS INTO BLUEBONNET.

WE TRIED LOOKING AT NAVARRO, GOING INTO PCE AND SOME NAVARRO STUDENTS GOING TO CLEARFORK.

THEN WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER DID IS, AS HE LOOKED AT THAT WHEN THEY SLICED THEM UP, THEN HE DUMPED THEM INTO WHAT THAT FORECAST WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WOULD OVERCROWD BLUEBONNET OFF THE BAT AND PLUM CREEK.

OKAY. SO THAT WAS GROUP ONE'S ATTEMPT AT LOOKING AT THAT.

GROUP TWO TRIED TO ABSORB SOME OF PCE STUDENTS, AND THEN PCE ABSORBED SOME OF THE NORTHERN PART OF NAVARRO, MAKING CLEAR FOR A LITTLE BIT LARGER AND BORCHERT LOOP A LITTLE BIT LARGER.

THAT EXTENDS TO THE 2001 CORRIDOR.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT STRETCH NOW, WE HAVE OVERCROWDING AT PLUM CREEK AND DEFINITE OVERCROWDING AT STRAWN.

GROUP THREE LOOKED AT ABSORBING SOME BORCHERT LOOP, ABSORBING SOME OF THE BLUEBONNET STUDENTS.

WE LOOKED AT BORCHERT LOOP AND USING 130 AS A CORRIDOR AS THE BOUNDARY LINE.

ABS GETS SOME PCE STUDENTS.

PC GETS SOME NAVARRO STUDENTS AND THEN MAKING CLEAR FORK INTO A LARGER SPACE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT NOW WE OVERCROWD THREE AND I WAS TELLING THE TOWN IN THE TOWN HALL MEETING THAT REALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO LOOK AT THESE THREE YEARS OF 25, 26 AND 27 AND GETTING AS MUCH WHITE SPACE BECAUSE UNTIL WE DECIDE HOW THE GROWTH SHAKES OUT AND THEN FACILITY NEEDS, WE AT LEAST WANT SOME WIGGLE ROOM FOR 2 TO 3 YEARS IN THIS REZONING.

YOU GO TO GROUP FOUR AND THEY WERE LOOKING AT A LARGER CLEARFORK AREA THAT MOVES FURTHER EAST TO NAVARRO.

YOU HAVE PCE ABSORBING SOME OF THAT NORTHERN PART OF NOVATO.

SO VERY SIMILAR TO KIND OF GROUP THREE.

BUT IT'S AGAIN, STILL THE CLEAR FORK, STILL PLUM CREEK AND STRAWN OVERCROWDING.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE WORKED WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER AND SAID, YOU KNOW, HERE'S SOME GREAT IDEAS THAT THEY THAT EVERYONE HAD.

COULD WE TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF THOSE THOUGHT PROCESS AND DUMP THEM INTO ANOTHER OPTION? SO WE CAME UP WITH LOOKING AT OPTION A AND LOOKING AT THE LINES THERE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS BOUNDARY LINE POTENTIAL, IT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS HAVE THE WIDE AREA IN ALL THE SCHOOLS. SO CURRENTLY THIS IS WHERE WE LANDED WITH OUR LAST COMMITTEE MEETING IS TO SAY WE HAVE THIS.

WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF WHITE SPACE RIGHT HERE.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO NOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN AND THAT WOULD ALSO OPEN UP OPEN UP.

ORCHARD LOOP WITH 449 STUDENTS STILL UNDER THE 500 MARK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

REASON BEING, WE DIDN'T WANT TO FILL THAT UP BECAUSE OF ALL THE GROWTH THAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT AREA.

SO WE FELT 500 IS A GOOD NUMBER TO FILL IT WITH FOR THIS, FOR THE OPENING.

SO YOU CAN REALLY SEE THEY REALLY REFINED THEIR THOUGHTS AND LOOKING AT THE DATA WHERE KIDS LIVE THAT THOUGHT THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF GETTING TO THIS POINT.

NOW WE JUST NEED TO GET A LITTLE MORE SURGICAL AND ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CAMPUS OVER CAPACITY AFTER WE DRAW THE LINES AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HOW QUICKLY I WAS TALKING WITH THE PARENTS LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, BORCHERT LOOP, CAN WE PUT EVEN MORE KIDS THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT EVEN WITH STARTING IT WITH 450 KIDS, WE'RE OVER CAPACITY IN 2028.

I MEAN, IT'S BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT COMMUNITY IS EXPECTED TO GO UP PRETTY QUICKLY.

THERE'S A LOT OF HOUSING IN THAT DEVELOPMENT AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WATCHING THIS HAS BEEN A QUESTION THAT WE'VE RECEIVED A LOT.

ALL OF THESE PROJECTIONS THAT WE SEE HERE ON THIS CHART ASSUME ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS GOING ON.

YOU KNOW, ANYONE WHO'S ASKED FOR PERMITS FROM THE COUNTY, FROM THE CITY ALL OF THAT'S WHERE WE GET THESE PROJECTIONS.

SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND.

SO YOU CAN SEE LIKE THIS.

THE COMMITTEE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

IT'S JUST NOT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

JUST NEEDS A LITTLE MORE PRECISION AND SURGICAL CUTTING OF THE LINES CLOSE AND WE JUST WE HAD A MEETING THIS AFTERNOON MYSELF, THE DEMOGRAPHER OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, MR. ACUNA, AND OUR BOND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, MR. CHAPMAN, TO ALREADY START PLAYING OFF OF THOSE NUMBERS HERE AND WE'RE ALREADY FIGURING OUT SOME CONFIGURATIONS FOR HOW WE CAN MAKE THAT LOOK AND SO HE'LL BE WORKING WITH THAT.

THE QUESTION THAT I ASK AND THE SAME THING I'LL ASK YOU ALL THAT I ASK THE TOWN HALL COMMITTEE, I MEAN, MEMBERS THAT ATTENDED IS ARE THERE ANY THINGS THAT THE ATTENDANCE

[01:15:06]

BOARD. WE HAD INDIVIDUAL WE HAD INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS AND WE THOUGHT WE BRAINSTORMED AND SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS ADDRESSED. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THAT THEY SEE AND THE PARENTS ARE PRETTY SUPPORTIVE AND MR. ESTRADA CAN ADD TO THAT. BUT THEY WERE PRETTY SUPPORTIVE THIS MORNING, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE WORK IS NOT EASY, UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT EVERYBODY MAY BE HAPPY WITH THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A KID THAT LIVES CLOSEST TO THE BOUNDARY LINE AND FURTHEST AWAY NO MATTER HOW WE SLICE IT.

AND I THINK THAT IF WE STICK TO OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES, THAT REALLY GRATEFUL THAT WE HAD THAT TIME AS A BOARD TO KIND OF IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS.

IT'S BEEN EASY TO NOT EASY.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO DO THIS PROCESS, BUT IT WAS EASY TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT A LITMUS TEST TO AND SAY, IS THIS FAIR? IS THIS LOOKING CLOSER AND CLOSER? YES, MA'AM, THAT YOU'RE TWEAKING AND IT'S GETTING CLEARER THAT BECOMING MORE BALANCED, BUT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE GROWTH IN EACH OF THE CAMPUSES.

DOCTOR CAMARILLO, DID YOU MENTION MAY HAVE AND I APOLOGIZE IF YOU DID ALREADY.

JUST THE PROCESS FOR POLICIES.

MAYBE IF THERE'S A FIFTH GRADER WHO'S BEEN AT A SCHOOL SINCE KINDER, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF GRANDFATHERING, WHEN WILL THOSE DECISIONS.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING FOR THAT WILL BRING UP THAT PROCESS AROUND.

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT GRANDFATHERING.

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT WHICH STUDENTS ARE WE GOING TO MOVE? SO WE'LL BE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS AGAIN WITH THE COMMITTEE AND AGAIN LOOKING AT THESE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND THE EQUITY DEFINITION TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND THEN FOR OUR NEXT STEPS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GRANDFATHERING? BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY WILL.

OH, GRANDFATHER, AS IF A PARENT DECIDES THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR STUDENT IN THIS PARTICULAR SET OF STUDENTS WILL STAY AT THAT CAMPUS.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE GRANDFATHERED EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT ZONED FOR THAT CAMPUS.

THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD TERM THAT WE DON'T NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS.

YOU'RE RIGHT. SO OUR NEXT STEPS ATTENDANCE ZONE CHATS AS I SAID, WILL BE I'LL BE THERE ON FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MY HOT DOG AND POPCORN WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO COME TALK TO ME.

COMMUNITY TOWN HALL MEETING IS NEXT MONDAY.

OUR COMMITTEE MEETING WILL MEET.

REVIEW OF DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS WILL GO TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER 18TH FOR YOU ALL TO LOOK AT THOSE THE DRAFT AND THEN WE'LL MAKE FINAL APPROVAL IN DECEMBER.

IF FOR ANY REASON, I HAVE TOLD THE COMMITTEE THAT IF FOR ANY REASON WE HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH BECAUSE WE FEEL THERE'S STILL SOME THINGS WE WANT TO GET ANSWERED, THEN WE COULD DO THAT. BUT OUR GOAL HAS BEEN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO HAVE IT TO YOU ALL BY DECEMBER, SO THAT WE CAN START MAKING ALL THE DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE OFF OF THAT.

ALSO, JUST DRAWING THE ATTENTION TO THE WEBSITE.

WE HAVE OUR AGENDAS UP THERE.

WE HAVE THE VIDEO OF THE NEW SCHOOL, BUT WE CAN ANYBODY CAN GO THERE TO THAT WEBSITE AND ALSO LOOK FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS.

ANY QUESTIONS? SO WE WOULD LET PEOPLE GRANDFATHER AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T UPSET THE WHOLE THE REST OF THE.

CORRECT. BUT WE STILL GOT TO KEEP BALANCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY AND THAT IS TO WHAT THE YOU KNOW, STAYING TRUE TO WHAT THE THOUGHT EXCHANGE INPUT GAVE US IS, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THAT DISRUPTION BECAUSE THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHAT'S FUNNY AND IRONIC ABOUT THIS I WAS SHARING THIS MORNING IS I'VE IN THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR, YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD TO MOVE STUDENTS TO OTHER CAMPUSES AND THEY'RE LIKE, NO, I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THIS CAMPUS.

IT'S MY FAVORITE. I LOVE IT, AND I'M LIKE, OKAY AND SO I'M SORRY, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE PROCESS AND WE PUT THEM ONTO THE CAMPUS AND I TRY TO BRING THEM BACK THE NEXT YEAR.

NO, I LOVE THIS CAMPUS I'M AT NOW.

SO AND THAT'S WHY I SAY, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT NO MATTER THE DRIVING DISTANCE FOR ANY OF OUR KIDS THAT ARE, THEY'RE GOING TO GET A QUALITY EDUCATION AT ANY CAMPUS THAT THEY'RE ON, NO MATTER THE DRIVING DISTANCE.

BUT THAT IS A GOOD POINT, THOUGH, TO REMIND THEM ABOUT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND WHAT THE INTENT IS.

YES, MA'AM. MR. WRIGHT, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY YOU KNOW, THAT PROCESS WILL BE SHARED, BUT WHAT YOU SEE, SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO TYPICALLY IS GRANDFATHER, FIFTH GRADE, BUT ONLY FIFTH GRADERS.

SO WE DID THAT IN THE PAST AS WELL WHEN WE OPENED UP OR ACTUALLY WHEN WE REZONE THE ENTIRE DISTRICT FOR THE FIRST TIME A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT IT'S NOT THAT IF YOU'RE A KINDERGARTNER, YOU CAN STAY THERE AND BE GRANDFATHERED FOR FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

IT'S REALLY THOSE KIDS WHO ARE FINISHING THEIR YEARS THERE.

BUT IF THEY HAVE SIBLINGS, ALSO WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE DONE IS THE PARENT HAS TO MAKE A DECISION.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE MULTIPLE CHILDREN, THEY ALL DON'T GET TO BE GRANDFATHERED, YOU KNOW.

BUT THE PURPOSE IS THAT FIFTH GRADER IN PARTICULAR AND MAYBE FOURTH GRADER CAN WRITE A DISCUSSION, BUT FIFTH GRADER IS WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE OUTSIDE OF THAT. GRANDFATHERING IS HAS REALLY NOT BEEN AN OPTION.

SO YOU REALLY WON'T KNOW THOSE NUMBERS UNTIL THOSE REQUESTS ARE MADE, RIGHT? CORRECT AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO.

SEEING RIGHT NOW WHERE ALL THE STUDENTS ARE, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE MR. ESTRADA SAYS, WE START GETTING INTO THE SURGICAL ASPECT OF ALL OF THIS.

[01:20:02]

ANYTHING ELSE? BOARD.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

WELCOME. EIGHT C FALL BILINGUAL ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE PROGRAM REPORT, MISS SALVADOR SALDIVAR.

[Fall Bilingual/English as a Second Language Program Report]

BOARD MEMBERS.

GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT WRIGHT AND SUPERINTENDENT ESTRADA.

IT TRULY IS AN HONOR TO DELIVER THE BILINGUAL ESL PROGRAM REPORT THIS EVENING.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT EVERYONE IS DOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE ALL HEADED IN.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STOP ME.

I'LL GET EXCITED AND START TALKING.

TWO YEARS AGO, OUR STAFF DRAFTED THE FOLLOWING MISSION STATEMENT AND IT CONTINUES TO BE THE ANCHOR OF OUR WORK.

THE ISD EMERGENT BILINGUAL MISSION IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY BY EMPOWERING OUR CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE THEIR LANGUAGES AND CULTURES THROUGH AN EQUITABLE EDUCATION. I'M GOING TO BEGIN BY JUST SHARING WITH YOU OUR CURRENT AND EMERGENT BILINGUAL ENROLLMENT NUMBERS.

AS OF THIS MORNING, WE HAVE WELCOMED OR WE HAVE 1078 BILINGUAL STUDENTS IN GRADES PRE-K THROUGH FIVE, AND WE HAVE 1523 ESL STUDENTS IN GRADES PRE-K THROUGH 12.

CURRENTLY OUR ENROLLMENT IS UP COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR BY 108 STUDENTS.

I WANT YOU TO TO KNOW AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THIS HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

BUT WE WERE ABLE TO RECLASSIFY 111 EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS THIS YEAR, SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 284 NEWCOMERS TO THE DISTRICT THAT MAKE UP 10.9% OF OUR EB POPULATION IN LISD.

THAT MEANS THAT THEY ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN US SCHOOLS FOR LESS THAN THREE YEARS.

SO WHY DO YOU, THE 24-25 YEAR? YOU SEE THE PERCENTAGE GOING DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT? SO DUE TO RECLASSIFICATION OF 111 STUDENTS, COUPLED WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE IN GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, THOSE TWO FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO A SLIGHT DECREASE IN EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENT POPULATION.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU RECLASSIFIED FROM WHAT TO WHAT.

SO WE RECLASSIFIED, SO THEY ARE NO LONGER CODED AS EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED A COMPOSITE PASS RATING OF ADVANCED TY, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL AND AND ALSO PERFORMED SUCCESSFULLY ON STAAR READING AND STAAR EOC ENGLISH EOCS.

SO THAT'S COMMENDABLE AND JUST A LITTLE BIT I'LL SHOW YOU THE SLIDE OF LIKE COMPARATIVE DATA LIKE OVER THE YEARS.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HAVING BEEN ABLE TO DO SO WHILE PRESERVING AND MAINTAINING THE PRIDE THAT STUDENTS HAVE IN BEING TRULY BILINGUAL.

SO IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE CELEBRATE FOR BEING LIKE SUBTRACTIVE INSTEAD ADDITIVE.

EXCELLENT QUESTIONS.

OH, AND WE DO SEE THAT STUDENTS THAT WE'VE WELCOMED TO LISD ARE JOINING US FROM AISD FROM AUSTIN ISD, FROM DELL VALLEY ISD, CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE AUSTIN AREA AND THOSE JOINING US NEW TO THE COUNTRY ARE JOINING US FROM MEXICO, HONDURAS AND EL SALVADOR, PRIMARILY. ALRIGHT AND I DO WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE TITLE OF THE SLIDE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE SLIDES.

TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE NAVIGATE TO 28 ICON WITH THE PRIORITIES LISTED RIGHT NEXT TO THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED ALL OF THE WAYS IN WHICH OUR DEPARTMENT IS DIRECTLY ALIGNED WITH OUR SPECIFIC DISTRICT PRIORITIES.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE SIX BILINGUAL TEACHERS WHO ARE ON BILINGUAL EXCEPTIONS.

THAT IS DOWN THREE FROM LAST YEAR, AND WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 23 TEACHERS WHO ARE ON ESL WAIVERS, WHICH IS UP BY FOUR FROM LAST YEAR.

THE WAYS IN WHICH WE'RE SUPPORTING TEACHERS TO BECOME FULLY CERTIFIED ARE BY WE HELD ESL ACADEMY THIS SUMMER.

WE'LL HAVE ESL IN-PERSON ACADEMIES IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

ALSO, WE HAVE AN ONLINE, SELF-PACED ESL ACADEMY THAT'S ONGOING ALL YEAR, AND WE'VE CONTRACTED OUTSIDE SUPPORT TO HELP STUDENTS, TO HELP TEACHERS WHO ARE OBTAINING FULL BILINGUAL CERTIFICATION AND SUCCESSFULLY PASSING THE BILINGUAL TARGET LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST.

WHAT'S THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF COMPLETION FOR THE CERTIFICATION? TYPICALLY A YEAR AND SO THEN AFTER THAT, WE CREATE A PLAN OF INTERVENTION TO HELP THEM.

SO TYPICALLY WE SEE TEACHERS COMPLETE FULL CERTIFICATION BY TWO YEARS AND NOW I'LL GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE WITH SHARING OUR 2024 TAIL PASS DATA AND SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE GROWTH THAT WE SHOWED IN OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AS A DISTRICT AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADES. OUR RESULTS ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR CURRENT PROGRAMING.

[01:25:01]

COULD YOU REMIND US WHAT THAT ACRONYM STANDS FOR? I SURE WILL. IT'S TEXAS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT.

AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, WE ALSO SAW PROGRESS IN TOPAZ COMPOSITE SCORES.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING STUDENTS IN READING, WRITING, LISTENING AND SPEAKING IN ENGLISH, WE NEED TO PROVIDE THEM FREQUENT OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE THEIR LANGUAGE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LIKE LASER FOCUSED ON AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL THIS YEAR AND THEN I'LL SHARE WITH YOU AGAIN ONE MORE TIME BECAUSE I'M SO EXTREMELY PROUD.

WE HAD 111 STUDENTS MEET RECLASSIFICATION CRITERIA THIS YEAR.

MEANING THEIR COMPOSITE TOPAZ SCORE WAS ADVANCED HIGH, AND THEY SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED ON STAR AND ENGLISH EOC'S.

AGAIN, THAT SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE WERE ABLE TO RECLASSIFY CONTRIBUTED TO 1%, A LITTLE OVER 1% OF OUR 3% DECREASE THAT WE SAW IN EB STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

SO ONCE CLASSIFIED RECLASSIFIED, DOES THAT MEAN THAT NO MORE SERVICES FOR THE STUDENTS? WE MONITOR THEM FOR TWO YEARS AFTER.

THEY'RE JUST NOT CODED AS AS EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS? EXCELLENT QUESTION. NEXT, I'M GOING TO BRAG ON THE WORK THAT HAPPENED OVER THE SUMMER FOR OUR BILINGUAL ESL SUMMER PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS IN PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN.

WE HAD 85 STUDENTS ATTEND THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

IT WAS HELD AT ALMA BREWER STRAWN.

IT WAS LED BY TWO BILINGUAL CERTIFIED LOVER LEADERS WHO DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN ORGANIZING AND LEADING THE PROGRAM.

SIX OF OUR STRONGEST BILINGUAL TEACHERS FACILITATED LEARNING AND DID AN AMAZING JOB.

OUR I KNOW MR. DAVIDSON PRESENTED THIS DATA TO YOU IN SEPTEMBER, SO I WON'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON IT, BUT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IT BECAUSE IT'S SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME.

WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK THAT TEACHERS AT CARVER EARLY EDUCATION AND OUR BILINGUAL ESL SUMMER PROGRAM ARE DOING.

THEIR EFFORTS ARE BEING HIGHLIGHTED IN THE READING DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR EARLY LEARNERS.

SO JUST DEFINITELY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY CONTINUE TO DO.

WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT HIGHLY QUALIFIED BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH A STRONG COHORT OF DEDICATED TEACHERS HERE IN LOCKHART ISD.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE THANKFUL TO HAVE REESTABLISHED A BILINGUAL DEPARTMENT TO HELP SUPPORT THEM.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLICLY THANK LORI JONES, OUR BILINGUAL ESL COMPLIANCE LEAD, AND OUR TWO BILINGUAL AND ESL INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES, ALICIA MALDONADO, KEVIN AND JOANNA VILLARREAL.

THE WORK THAT THEY DO IN SUPPORTING CAMPUSES, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS REALLY IS A WORK OF JUST PASSION AND DEDICATION TO BILINGUAL EDUCATION, AND I'M SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE SUCH PHENOMENAL WOMEN.

A COUPLE OF MORE EXCITING WAYS THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT IS WE'VE ADDED TWO MORE EMERGENT BILINGUAL LEVER LEADERS AT ALMA BREWER STRAWN.

WE HAVE ADDED A BILINGUAL LEVER LEADER AT BLUEBONNET ELEMENTARY.

WE HAVE ASKED EVERY PRINCIPAL HAS DESIGNATED A BILINGUAL LEAD AT EVERY ELEMENTARY CAMPUS SO THAT THEY CAN DISTRIBUTE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND DISTRIBUTE COMMUNICATION FROM OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE ADDED FOUR BILINGUAL PARAPROFESSIONALS AT SECONDARY CAMPUSES THIS YEAR.

AND I THINK MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS EACH MONTH WE'RE RECOGNIZING LINGUISTIC LOCK STARS.

WHO CONSISTENTLY USED BEST INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES IN EMERGENT BILINGUAL CLASSROOMS. WE'RE SO APPRECIATIVE OF THEIR DEDICATION AND HAVE LOVED CELEBRATING THEM.

SO THEY'RE HIGHLIGHTED HERE.

JUST TAKE THEM LITTLE CERTIFICATE, HANG IT OUTSIDE THEIR WALL, A LITTLE GIFT BAG, BUT JUST PHENOMENAL WORK AND WE'RE HAPPY TO CELEBRATE THEM AND THANK THEM.

WE WILL CONTINUE OUR RECRUITING EFFORTS THIS YEAR AT COLLEGE OF EDUCATION.

JOB FAIRS, INCLUDING JOB FAIRS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, RIO GRANDE VALLEY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS, AND TEXAS WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY THIS YEAR.

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND, OF COURSE, TEXAS STATE.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL WE CONTINUE TO HOLD OUR MONTHLY DISTRICT BILINGUAL MEETINGS THAT SERVE AS PROFESSIONAL, DEVELOP AND COLLABORATIVE WORK SESSIONS.

WE HAVE AVERAGED ABOUT 35 TEACHERS IN ATTENDANCE AT EACH OF THE MEETINGS.

THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO HELP BUILD AND MAINTAIN THOSE STRONG COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

IT'S PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES TO EMPOWER TEACHER LEADERS AND WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT OUR MEETINGS CONTRIBUTE TO THE WAY IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO RETAIN OUR

[01:30:02]

SO IT WAS A WAY TO EMPOWER THEM TO SHARE THEIR LEARNING.

IT WAS GREAT. ARE Y'ALL EVER GOING TO GO TO THE NABE? OH MY GOSH.

SO NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

MY GOAL IS TO HAVE US PRESENT THERE HERE PRETTY SOON.

SO WE ARE ATTENDING.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN, BUT I'VE HEARD RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT ALL OF THE LEARNING THAT HAPPENS AT LA COSECHA DUAL LANGUAGE CONFERENCE IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.

I'M ECSTATIC ACTUALLY.

I NEED A SPONSOR. IF YOU NEED A, I WILL.

WE MIGHT NEED A CHAPERON.

I'M VOLUNTEERING.

WE DO HAVE A DEPARTMENT GOAL TO PRESENT AT REGIONAL AND OR STATE CONFERENCE IN 2025.

SO I'M CONFIDENT.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE IN LOCKHART ISD.

IN FACT, SOME OF THE SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE'VE OUTSOURCED TO COME HELP WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THEY'RE LIKE, WE LOVE THE CADENCE OF WALKTHROUGHS THAT YOU'VE CREATED, THE SUPPORT THAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HELPING TEACHERS WITH AND SO LIKE, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN PRESENTING IN A YEAR OR SO WE CAN COLLECT THE DATA AND LIKE LET'S TALK.

I'M EXCITED. TO DATE WE'VE ALREADY DOUBLED THE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED FOR STAFF IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR. OUR TEAM, LIKE I SAID, FOLLOWS A CADENCE OF WALKTHROUGHS, AND WE'RE SO PROUD TO SEE THAT NEW LEARNING IS BEING APPLIED ALREADY IN CLASSROOMS. WE HAD A THREE DAY EMERGENT BILINGUAL ESSENTIALS.

INSTRUCTIONAL ESSENTIALS TRAINING OVER THE SUMMER.

AGAIN, WE HELD OUR ESL ACADEMY.

WE LED TEACHERS OR SORRY, ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS IN LPAC FRAMEWORK TRAINING AND WE'VE HELD OUR SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER BILINGUAL MONTHLY MEETINGS. WE'VE TRAINED TEACHERS ON SUMMIT K-12, WHICH IS A COMPUTER ADAPTIVE PROGRAM THAT TAKES STUDENTS THROUGH A PERSONAL LEARNING PATH IN DEVELOPING THEIR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND READING, WRITING, LISTENING AND SPEAKING FOR GRADES TWO THROUGH JUNIOR HIGH FOR NEWCOMERS AND THEN TODAY WE KICKED OFF A BRIDGING AND NEWCOMER TRAINING, WHICH HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL.

IT'S REALLY GREAT. BRIDGING IS HAVING STUDENTS UTILIZE WHAT THEY KNOW IN ONE LANGUAGE AND TRANSFERRING IT OVER TO THEIR SECOND LANGUAGE.

WE BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT PARENTS AND FAMILIES PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, AND IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE TO HELP GUIDE THEM THROUGH IT ALL, AS IT'S SOMETIMES VERY FOREIGN TO THEM.

RIGHT AND SO BEING THAT BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS HOME AND SCHOOL IS A PRIORITY OF OURS AND WORKING WITH PRINCIPALS, WE'VE PLANNED OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES AND UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF EDUCATION AND WHAT THEIR CHILDREN EXPERIENCE DAY TO DAY AND WHAT'S EXPECTED OF THEM.

WE HAD A COMMUNITY EVENT JUST BEFORE ALMA BREWER STRAWN DIA DE LOS MUERTOS CELEBRATION ON SATURDAY.

THAT WENT REALLY WELL.

WE'RE PLANNING AN EVENT AT LOCKHART HIGH SCHOOL IN THE SPRING TO FOCUS ON SUPPORTING EMERGENT BILINGUAL FAMILIES ON WHAT THE PATH TO COLLEGE CAREER READINESS MILITARY READINESS MEANS.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? ALSO, WE'RE PLANNING A FAMILY EVENT TO BE HELD IN THE SPRING TO SUPPORT PARENTS OF FIFTH GRADE BILINGUAL STUDENTS, BECAUSE THE TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO JUNIOR HIGH IS DRASTIC. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, LUNCH OPPORTUNITIES MAY NOT BE THE SAME.

STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE TRANSITIONING FROM CLASS TO CLASS IN A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT SOMETIMES WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE BEFORE AND THEN WE SEND OUT A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER TO PARENTS OF EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS AND IN CLOSING, I'M JUST PROUD TO SHARE OUR DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND CURRENT GOALS.

SO CURRENTLY ALL TEACHING, ALL BILINGUAL TEACHER POSITIONS ARE FILLED.

WE HAVE BILINGUAL CERTIFIED LOVER LEADERS AT FOUR OF THE SEVEN CAMPUSES.

THIS IS EXCITING.

SO A MULTICULTURAL CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED AT LOCKHART HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT WAS INITIATED BY STUDENT LEADERS WHO SAID, HEY, WE REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A NEED TO BUILD A BUILD AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE'S MORE ACCEPTANCE AND RESPECT FOR MULTICULTURAL STUDENTS AND SO THAT SPEAKS ABOUT STUDENT INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THAT'S AMAZING. WE CONTINUE TO UNLOCK POTENTIAL AND TEACHER LEADERS.

WE'RE STRENGTHENING OUR INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT FOR EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS AND MOST RECENTLY, WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH TEXAS STATE'S TOMAS RIVERA MEXICAN AMERICAN BOOK AWARD AND ARE CREATING A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WHERE WE'RE GOING TO INFLUENCE YOUNG AUTHORS AND ENCOURAGE AND EMPOWER THEM TO BE PROUD OF THEIR STORY AND SHARE IT VIA TEXT.

OUR GOALS ARE THAT 100% OF OUR TEACHERS WILL BE BILINGUAL, ESL CERTIFIED BY MAY OF 2025, AND WE WILL RETAIN 90% OF OUR BILINGUAL CERTIFIED

[01:35:04]

VERY GOOD JOB.

VERY GOOD.

ARE WE STILL, ARE WE CURRENTLY STILL COMPETITIVE WITH OUR STIPEND FOR BILINGUAL STIPENDS? WE ARE CURRENTLY WE HAVE PROBABLY TOP THREE IN THE CENTRAL TEXAS AREA AS FAR AS STIPENDS GO.

YEP. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE].

OKAY. WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM EIGHT D 2024-2025 BUDGET UPDATE, MISS WEISER.

[2024-2025 Budget Update]

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

SO BACK IN JUNE WE ADOPTED OUR 2425 BUDGET AND AS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THINGS ARE PROJECTED AND SO NOW WE'RE THREE MONTHS IN AND WE'RE ABLE I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE Y'ALL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE.

WE'LL LOOK WE'LL REVIEW WHAT WE ADOPTED.

WE'LL LOOK OVER OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT ATTENDANCE NUMBERS, OUR NEW REVENUE ESTIMATES WITH THE NEW THINGS THAT WE DO KNOW, AND THEN A REVISED BUDGET SUMMARY FOR 24-25.

SO WHEN WE ADOPTED THE BUDGET, WE ASSUMED A 3% GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT WITH A 93% ATTENDANCE RATE DISTRICT WIDE, LIKE A ADA.

OUR LOCAL TAX REVENUE WAS BASED ON 69.69 PENNIES, WHICH INCLUDED NOW ALL EIGHT GOLDEN PENNIES WITH THE PASSAGE OF A VATRE BACK IN NOVEMBER.

IT INCLUDED A TAX LEVY OF 3.6 BILLION, WHICH WAS UP IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR FROM 3.1 BILLION, AND IT INCLUDED ALL OF THE NEW POSITIONS THAT WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN THE SPRING FOR THIS YEAR, WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THAT 24-25 COMPENSATION PLAN.

THIS IS THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADOPTED.

THE. WE ARE REQUIRED TO ADOPT THREE BUDGETS OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION BUDGET, OUR DEBT SERVICE BUDGET, AND OUR SCHOOL NUTRITION BUDGET.

WE ADOPTED A MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS BALANCED BUDGET OF ALMOST $71 MILLION.

WE ADOPTED A DEBT SERVICE BUDGET OF $9.2 MILLION.

THIS IS WHAT WE USE TO PAY BACK ALL OF OUR BONDS, AND OUR INS RATE IS WHAT IS USED TO PAY PAY THAT AND THEN WE ADOPTED A SCHOOL NUTRITION BUDGET THAT WAS ALSO BALANCED OF ALMOST $6 MILLION, FOR A TOTAL ADOPTED BUDGET OF NEARLY 86 MILLION. THIS IS THE SAME BUDGET THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, ONLY ON THE GENERAL FUND SIDE, BUT IN A PIE CHART THAT WAY YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT HOW WHERE WE ARE DISTRIBUTED, WE HAVE MOST OF OUR REVENUE COMING FROM THE STATE, AND THEN AT 58% AND THEN 40% OF THAT IS COMING FROM LOCAL FUNDS.

THIS WAS AROUND 40% STATE, WITH THE REST BEING LOCAL.

BUT WITH THE NEW 100 K EXEMPTION THAT INCREASED THAT STATE PERCENTAGE FOR THE TIME.

BUT AS WE GROW, WE'LL SEE WHAT OUR NEW 25 LEVY IS.

WITH ALL THIS GROWTH GOING AROUND US, OUR EXPENDITURES, THIS SHOWS ALL THE MAJOR SPENDING CATEGORIES, PAYROLL BEING OUR GREATEST EXPENSE AT 72%.

WE DO OUTSOURCE.

SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO SHOW WHAT IT WOULD BE IF WE WEREN'T OUTSOURCING WHAT WE SPEND ON THOSE CONTRACTS.

SO 80% WOULD BE SPENT ON PAYROLL, AND THEN THE REST IS ALL OF OUR OPERATING COSTS, FROM UTILITIES TO PROPERTY, INSURANCE TO SUPPLIES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IT TAKES TO OPERATE THE DISTRICT.

I LEFT THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I VISUALLY WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT OUR 23-24 STUDENT ENROLLMENT WAS THE FIRST SIX WEEKS OF SCHOOL.

SO THE GOLD LINE ON TOP WAS WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR IN THE FIRST SIX WEEKS AND THEN THE GRAY LINE IS THAT YEAR BEFORE 22-23 AND THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO SHOW THAT IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO SHOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE GRAY LINE AND THE GOLD LINE LAST YEAR, AND THE GRAY LINE AND THE GOLD LINE THIS YEAR.

SO, AS WE CAN SEE IN 24-25, WE HAVE GROWN MUCH MORE THAN WE DID IN THAT PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO WE ARE AT OUR 3% GROWTH AND LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME WE WERE AT ABOUT 1.8%.

[01:40:02]

THESE ARE THE FIRST SIX FRIDAYS OF OF SCHOOL.

SO WE'RE JUST UNDER 6800 FOR TOTAL ENROLLMENT.

YES. WE ARE JUST UNDER 6800.

YES, SIR.

ARE WE STILL ADDING PEOPLE? I'M SORRY. HERE AND THERE.

YEAH. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, YOU KNOW, KIDS WHO COME, BUT THEN ALSO KIDS ARE ARE LEAVING, SO IT'S KIND OF LEVELING OUT.

LAST YEAR WE INTERESTINGLY SAW IN THE SECOND SEMESTER WE GREW OVER 100 STUDENTS STARTING IN JANUARY.

IT JUST GRADUALLY WENT UP ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE END OF APRIL.

SO WITH ALL OF THAT GROWTH, WITH ALL OF THE GROWTH WE HAVE GOING ON AROUND AND ALL THE ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION.

I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT AS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, ALL THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND THEN AND PEOPLE MIGHT START MOVING IN AGAIN.

THIS IS OUR CUMULATIVE ATTENDANCE OVER THOSE FIRST OVER NOW THROUGH THAT FIRST SIX WEEKS.

SO THROUGH THAT FIRST SIX WEEKS FRIDAY AND WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW HERE THE FAR COLUMN IS THE DISTRICT AS THE ALL THE CUMULATIVE.

SO WE ARE AT OUR GOAL AT 94.

WE'RE ABOVE OUR GOAL ACTUALLY AT 94% CUMULATIVE AND THE ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR WE SEE THE MAROON LINE WAS 23-24 AND THE GRAY LINE IS 24-25. SO AS WE LOOK AT IT, WE CAN SEE THAT MOST CAMPUSES ARE ABOVE THE GOAL OF 94% AND THE GOLD LINE SHOWS A 96 A LITTLE BIT UNDER 95, WHICH WAS WHAT THE ATTENDANCE RATE WAS PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, SHOWING THAT WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THAT LINE AND BACK TO WHERE TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE.

I JUST ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THESE CAMPUSES AND THEIR GROWTH FROM LAST YEAR'S CUMULATIVE TO THIS YEAR'S CUMULATIVE ATTENDANCE.

LOCKHART HIGH SCHOOL IS UP NEARLY 1% AND THEY'RE JUST ACROSS THE BOARD.

HUGE GAINS PRIDE HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY HAVE HUGE GAINS AND JUST SOMETHING REALLY TO CELEBRATE THAT GROWTH.

SO THE UPDATES THAT I WANT TO GIVE YOU ON THE REVENUE IS WHEN WE ADOPT OUR BUDGET BACK IN JUNE THERE'S JUST THINGS THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET AND WE'RE JUST PROJECTING.

SO IN JULY WE GET OUR ACTUAL THE $3.6 BILLION TAX ROLL.

WE DO OUR BUDGET BASED ON A PROJECTION OF WHAT THE APRIL VALUES ARE GOING TO BE.

BUT DURING THAT TIME, THERE CAN BE ANY KIND OF APPEALS THAT ARE GOING ON IN JULY.

THEY'RE CERTIFIED AND THEN TONIGHT WE ADOPTED THE TAX ROLL.

SO THE WE'VE HAD WE HAVE THOSE AND THEN NOW WE ALSO KNOW WHAT OUR ENROLLMENT AND OUR ATTENDANCE IS.

SO WITH HAVING THOSE ACTUALS I'M ABLE TO START RUNNING TRUE NUMBERS AGAINST THE PROJECTIONS.

SO WITH THAT OUR GENERAL ED ALLOTMENT IS RIGHT ON PROJECTION.

IT IS WITHIN 1588, WHICH I FOUND VERY EXCITING.

SO WE'RE REALLY RIGHT ON TARGET WITH OUR GENERAL ED POP.

WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO OUR GOAL.

AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE I THINK JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, WE'LL HAVE A CONTINUE WHERE WE'LL KEEP GROWING AS THE NEIGHBORHOODS JUST KEEP BUILDING.

ATTENDANCE IS ALSO RIGHT ON RIGHT AT PROJECTION.

SO IT IS ALSO LOOKING VERY WELL.

WE HAVE SUCH AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DAYS ATTENDED SCHOOL, MORE INSTRUCTION GOING ON AND THAT IS VERY, VERY EXCITING. OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION, BILINGUAL AND EARLY EDUCATION ALL HAVE A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM OUR PROJECTION.

SO THESE ARE ALL GOING TO BE OUR WEIGHTS.

SO WHILE OUR GENERAL ED WHILE OUR ADA IS JUST RIGHT ON TARGET AT 15, OUR SPECIAL POPS ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

SO THAT DOES HELP US.

WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA WEIGHTS ON THOSE.

SO THE NET IMPACT FOR OUR REVENUES SO FAR LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 400,000 AS WE STAND RIGHT NOW.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE.

SO JUST LIKE ON THE REVENUE SIDE, WE HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WE THAT WE THAT WE KNOW ARE DIFFERENT NOW WITH THAT $400,000 INCREASE.

WE ALSO HAVE A GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE AMENDMENTS THAT WE HAVE DONE.

WE ADDED A TEACHING POSITION AT LOCKHART HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WE TOOK TO THE BOARD AFTER, AND THEN WE HAVE THE TWO BILINGUAL POSITIONS THAT WE TOOK IN AUGUST,

[01:45:02]

SO WHILE WE HAVE AN INCREASE, WE HAD AN INCREASED NEED.

WE ALSO HAD TO ADD A SECONDARY BUS ROUTE BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT FACTS ON THAT.

BUT THERE WERE A LARGE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS.

WE WEREN'T ABLE TO FIT THEM. SO WE DID HAVE TO ADD A SECOND BUS ROUTE THAT WE TOOK TO THE BOARD.

AND THEN I HAVE SO FAR AROUND $50,000 IN VACANCY SAVINGS.

SO WHEN WE HAVE A VACANCY IN A TEACHING POSITION OR ANY POSITION ACROSS THE DISTRICT WHILE IT'S NOT BEING FILLED, WE DO HAVE SOME SAVINGS IN OUR BUDGET FROM THAT WITH THE TEACHING POSITIONS THAT MIGHT NOT END UP BEING FILLED.

WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 15 TO 20,000 A MONTH THAT EVERY MONTH IT'LL INCREASE THAT IF THOSE POSITIONS DON'T END UP BEING FILLED.

BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY TRYING, OF COURSE, TO CONTINUE TO FILL THEM SO THAT SAVINGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH VACANCY SHOULD THEY CONTINUE. SO THE NET CHANGE IN EXPENDITURE IS AROUND 219,000.

SO WE HAVE A NET GAIN IN REVENUE, BUT WE HAVE SOME EXPENDITURES.

SO WE NET OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE RIGHT NOW AT THIS TIME.

THIS IS JUST THAT SAME CHART SHOWING THAT INCREASE IN REVENUE A LITTLE BIT.

AT 68.1 MILLION, WITH THE NEW PROJECTION AND THE EXPENDITURES BEING A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT.

SO THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF OUR BETTER FALL PROJECTION UPDATES.

BUDGET UPDATES.

DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IF WE OPEN UP THE NEW FACILITIES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, ALL THOSE EXPENSES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR ALREADY? YES. YES AND THOSE I SAW ALL KIND OF PO'S GOING THROUGH ON THAT.

BUT WE HAVE BOND FUNDS THAT WE USE TO START THAT THOSE FACILITIES UP AND THEN WE ALSO TOOK THE POSITION NEEDED FO R THAT WE TOOK THAT BACK IN THE SPRING.

SO IT'S INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET AS WELL.

I LIKE THIS CHALKBOARD EFFECT YOU HAVE ON IT.

THANK YOU.

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.

I'LL HAVE IT. I'LL HAVE THE SAME ONE NEXT FALL FOR YOU THEN.

NEXT TIME WANTS A ROCK AND A CHISEL.

[INAUDIBLE] THOSE ERASERS THAT YOU CAN.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? MISS WEISER? THANK YOU.

WE MOVE ON TO 8E PROGRESS MONITORING DATA ON DISTRICT ACHIEVEMENT TARGETS, MR.

[Progress Monitoring Data on District Achievement Targets]

BOARD PRESIDENT WRIGHT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT ESTRADA.

I WILL BE PRESENTING OUR DISTRICT ACHIEVEMENT TARGETS FOR OCTOBER 2024, WITH A MAIN FOCUS AROUND OUR CBA DATA.

JUST A REMINDER, OUR TARGETS AROUND READING AND MATH.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR 80% OF OUR STUDENTS IN PRE-K THROUGH FIVE, AND 70% OF 6-10 HROUGH TEN.

STUDENTS WILL MEET 1.5 YEARS PROGRESS IN READING AND IN MATH.

WE WANT 70% OF THE STUDENTS IN K THROUGH ALGEBRA 11.5, AND IN THAT IN MATH, WE DO NOT HAVE 1.5 PROGRESS MEASURES THIS MONTH THAT WILL BE UPDATED NEXT MONTH.

SO I WILL FOCUS ON CBA FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

JUST A REMINDER ABOUT THE STRATEGIC SUPPORT I'M GOING TO BORROW FROM MY COLLEAGUE MISS SALDIVAR OVER HERE ABOUT.

WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE THAT THE INVOLVEMENT OF PARENTS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

SO YOU KNOW WE CONTINUE TO USE SEESAW.

WE USE REPORT CARDS.

WE HAVE THE PRINCIPAL WEEKLIES.

WE HAVE THE CAMPUSES SENDING OUT INFORMATION.

WE EVEN HAVE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT, I'M SORRY, POSITIVE BEHAVIOR REFERRALS AT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES.

BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO USE ALL STREAMS OF COMMUNICATION WITH OUR PARENTS SO THAT THEY ARE INFORMED, AS WELL AS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO OWN THEIR OWN DATA, WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH OUR LEADER IN ME CORE THREE PROTOCOL, WHERE STUDENTS ARE MONITORING THEIR DATA IN A FOLDER, OR THAT THEY ARE TAKING HOME INFORMATION AND TALKING TO THEIR PARENTS ABOUT THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING ON CAMPUS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, I ALSO WANTED TO BORROW FROM MISS OLIVARES ABOUT CAMPUS SUPPORT VISITS.

SO WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS EVERY MEMBER OF THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT VISITS CAMPUS.

SO YOU HEARD MISS OLIVARES SAY EARLIER THAT THE BILINGUAL DEPARTMENT GOES OUT.

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CNI DEPARTMENT.

ALL DEPARTMENTS GO OUT AND WE PROVIDE SUPPORT TO CAMPUSES THROUGH VISITS OF CLASSROOMS CHECKING IN WITH TEACHERS IN PARTICULAR, NEW TO PROFESSION AS WELL AS GOING INTO PLCS AS APPROPRIATE.

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ALIGNED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WHEN WE PROVIDE THE SHARED LEADERSHIP MODEL AND WE WANT TO THREAD THE TOPICS BETWEEN OUR PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT

[01:50:02]

AND I KNOW THAT I SKIPPED ONE.

AND IT'S INTENTIONAL BECAUSE YOU'LL SEE CAMPUS MONITORING AND RESPONSE TO DATA IN BOLD.

I BOLDED THAT ON PURPOSE.

SO AT THE END OF THIS DATA PRESENTATION, I WILL TALK THROUGH WHAT CAMPUSES ARE CURRENTLY DOING, AS WELL AS WHAT THE CNI DEPARTMENT IS DOING TO SUPPORT CAMPUSES.

BUT THE FOCUS OF TODAY IS TO LOOK AT THE DATA AND THEN TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW CAMPUSES ARE RESPONDING AND WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT.

SO WE WILL START OFF WITH, THE STRATEGIC REVISIONS.

SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT REVISIONS, IT'S CBA ONE THIS YEAR AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.

SO AFTER TALKING TO CAMPUS LEADERSHIP AND MAKING SURE THAT PRINCIPALS WERE INVOLVED IN THAT CONVERSATION, THERE WAS A DECISION BY CAMPUS PRINCIPALS TO ADD THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, ALSO KNOWN AS ECR ESSAY.

THE LONG ESSAY IN FOURTH GRADE THROUGH ELA 2.

THIRD GRADE WAS OPTIONAL IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO LAST YEAR WE DID NOT DO THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IN CBA 1.

WE WAITED UNTIL CBA 2 AND THEN REPEATED IT IN THE BENCHMARK EXAM THIS YEAR.

THEY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND GET AS MANY SAMPLES FROM STUDENTS AROUND THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE FROM CBA 1.

THE DATA THAT YOU WILL BE SHOWN TODAY, IF IT DOES INCLUDE THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, IT WILL JUST BE BASELINE BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE IT IN THE CBA LAST YEAR TO COMPARE IT TO THE OTHER EDITIONS THAT WE DID, WERE WE ADJUSTED THE RIGOR BASED ON SPRING 2024 STAAR.

SO WE TOOK THE RELEASE TEST THAT TEA PROVIDES US, AND WE LOOKED AT WHETHER OR NOT THE SAMPLE.

I'M SORRY. THE ACTUAL QUESTIONS WE'RE USING IN THE CBA 1 WERE MEETING THE RIGOROUS STANDARDS THAT WE SAW IN STAAR.

SO WE WENT BACK AND CHANGED NOT ONLY QUESTIONS THE NEW ITEM TYPES THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE IN THE PAST, BUT ALSO THE RESPONSES THAT STUDENTS GOT SO WE COULD ALIGN IT MORE TO THAT END OF THE YEAR ASSESSMENT AND THEN BECAUSE OF SCOPE AND SEQUENCE AND CALENDAR AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.

THERE ARE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL TEK'S IN THE CBA 1.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS DATA IT IS NOT ALL THE IDENTICAL TEK'S.

I WILL TALK TO TEK'S THAT WERE IN COMMON BETWEEN CBA 1 AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND CBA 1 THIS YEAR, BUT JUST DUE TO THE CALENDAR AND SCOPE AND SEQUENCE, THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TWEAKS THAT WERE TAUGHT IN CBA 1 COMPARED TO THIS YEAR TO LAST YEAR.

SO SOME OF THOSE STANDARDS WERE TAUGHT TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT WAS GIVEN.

MATH WAS THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR MATH DOESN'T HAVE THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE.

I WILL SAY THAT THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES WERE IN BOTH CBA ONE LAST YEAR AND CBA THIS YEAR.

SO I WILL GIVE YOU A MOMENT TO LOOK OVER THE THIRD GRADE ELA CBA ONE.

WHAT YOU HAVE IN GREEN IS PREVIOUS YEAR, AND WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE ORANGE IS CURRENT YEAR.

SO DEPENDING ON THE CAMPUS AND DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING AT APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS, WE ARE WE DO SEE SOME DIFFERENCES IN GROWTH AS WELL AS SOME DEFICIENCIES, SOME GAPS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT LEVELS.

SO I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS DATA AND WE REMOVE THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE. SO THAT IS YOU GET A PROMPT, YOU GET SOME TEXT, AND THE STUDENTS HAVE TO GIVE A SHORT RESPONSE TO THE PROMPT AS WELL, AS THERE ARE SOMETIMES QUESTIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE.

THOSE WERE FOUND IN THREE OF THE STANDARDS IN THIRD GRADE CBA 1.

WHEN YOU REMOVE THAT SCR, I'M SORRY, THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, ALL OF THE FOUR I'M SORRY.

FOUR OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOW AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE MEETS.

SO AT LEAST AT THE MEET SECTION AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.

SO WHAT THAT TELLS US, AND THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, IS THAT WHEN THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IS REMOVED FROM THIS INFORMATION, THAT OUR KIDS AT FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOW GROWTH FROM APPROACHES AND MEETS.

SO IT TELLS US THAT WE REALLY NEED TO BUCKLE DOWN AND WORK ON SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES.

NOT ONLY THE WRITING PORTION, BUT ALSO THE 2 OR 3 QUESTIONS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES WITHIN THE CBA.

DOES THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATOR MEET WITH YOU ALL ON ON REVIEWING THIS DATA? SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THAT BOLDED STATEMENT.

YES. SO THE QUICK QUICK ANSWER IS YES.

BUT WE HAVE A MORE TAILORED EFFORT THIS YEAR AS IN COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

[01:55:01]

SO HERE YOU HAVE MATH.

FOR THIRD GRADE MATH, WE DO SEE A MAJORITY OF OF DIPS WHEN COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S CBA 1.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS.

BLUEBONNET DOES HAVE HIGHER APPROACHES.

NAVARRO DOES HAVE HIGHER MEETS, SO WHEN BREAKING DOWN THE DATA.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE STANDARDS THAT WERE TAUGHT YEAR TO YEAR.

SO JUST A REMINDER, BECAUSE THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE WAS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, THE TESTS ARE NOT IDENTICAL.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE LOOKED AT THE TEK'S THAT WERE TAUGHT LAST YEAR AS WELL AS TAUGHT THIS YEAR, AND THEY MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE REWORKED.

AFTER LOOKING AT THE STAAR RELEASE EXAM, ANOTHER IDENTICAL DATA WAS FOUND THAT FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOWED GROWTH ON THE TEKS TESTED YEAR TO YEAR.

SO THE WHAT'S BENEFICIAL WITH HAVING THAT INFORMATION IS THAT WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE RESPOND TO THE DATA, THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW TEKS THAT WERE TAUGHT THIS YEAR AND THE CBA 1, IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WON'T SPIRAL IN THE TEKS THAT WERE TAUGHT ON BOTH TESTS.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE SHOWED IMPROVEMENT ON THE SAME STANDARDS FROM CBA 1 LAST YEAR TO CBA 1 THIS YEAR, THE HYPER FOCUS FOR THIRD GRADE MATH WILL BE WITH THE NEW STANDARDS THAT WERE TAUGHT THIS YEAR. DUE TO THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE CHANGE, IT SEEMED LIKE THE MASTER HAD A LOT OF THESE CAMPUSES LAST YEAR.

THAT IS CORRECT AND THIRD GRADE MR. WRIGHT. THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE AT BEEBE AND APPROACHES AND NAVARRO AT MEETS.

WHEN YOU TAKE ALL STANDARDS AND YOU TAKE TEST TO TEST.

NEXT WE HAVE FOURTH GRADE ELAR.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS ARE CLEAR FORK HAS IMPROVEMENT IN ALL THREE AREAS FOR APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS.

PCE HAS IMPROVEMENT IN APPROACHES.

SO WHEN BREAKING DOWN THIS DATA, THIS YEAR'S FOURTH GRADERS ARE TRAILING LAST YEAR'S FOURTH GRADERS.

WHEN YOU INCLUDE THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE WHEN SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IS REMOVED AGAIN, FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOW GROWTH BOTH IN COHORTS, SO THE THIRD TO FOURTH GRADE IMPROVED.

SO WHEN THESE STUDENTS WERE IN THIRD GRADE, THEY IMPROVED IN EVERY CATEGORY AND WHEN WE REMOVE WHEN YOU REMOVE THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN MEETS.

SO ONCE AGAIN, THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES AND THE QUESTIONS THAT MAY APPEAR ALONG WITH THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE WITHIN THE CBA AND I JUST WANT TO REPEAT WHEN I SAY COHORT, I'M LOOKING AT THE KIDS FROM LAST YEAR WITH THIRD GRADERS AND WHAT THEIR SCORES WERE THIS YEAR.

SO YOU DON'T NECESSARILY SEE IT ON THIS TABLE.

SO I'M JUST EXPLAINING THAT WE DID SEE GROWTH BY COHORT.

SO THIS WAS THE THIS IS ONE OF THE SLIDES I WAS TELLING YOU THAT THERE'S NO COMP DATA SINCE WE DID NOT DO THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE LAST YEAR.

SO THIS I'M JUST SHOWING YOU BASELINE OF WHERE WE ARE THIS YEAR.

SO AT THIS POINT NEXT YEAR WHEN I COME UP, YOU'LL HAVE THIS YEAR'S DATA VERSUS NEXT YEAR'S.

GOING TO FOURTH GRADE MATH.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTED OUR ABS, WHICH SHOWED IMPROVEMENTS IN ALL THREE CATEGORIES APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS.

YOU HAVE APPROACHES IMPROVING AT CLEARFORK.

YOU HAVE MEETS IMPROVING I'M SORRY AT CLEARFORK GETS ALL THREE LEVELS AS WELL.

SO ABS AND CFE KUDOS AND THEN IMPROVEMENT AT MEETS FOR NAVARRO.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE STUDENTS WHEN THEY WERE IN THIRD GRADE, THERE'S ALSO AN INCREASE IN MASTERS COHORT AT ABS.

NAVARRO HAS INCREASED MEETS AND MASTERS FOR THEIR COHORT KIDS AND PCE HAS INCREASED MEETS AND IN ADDITION AND BREAKING DOWN THIS DATA WE KNOW THAT 4.5 THE STANDARD 4.5 A AND I WON'T GO INTO THE DETAILS ABOUT.

IT WAS TAUGHT TOWARDS THE END OF THE CBA 1, AND THERE WAS NOT A CAMPUS THAT SHOWED GROWTH IN THAT STANDARD.

SO WE KNOW THAT THAT WILL NEED TO BE SPIRALED BACK IN FOR THE SECOND GROUPING AND FOR CBA 2.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO FIFTH GRADE ELAR.

THIS DATA LOOKS MORE IMPROVED WHEN YOU COMPARE IT FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS.

SO ALL CAMPUSES SHOWED GROWTH FOR FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE CAMPUSES SHOWED GROWTH IN ALL THREE LEVELS.

ABS DID MISS IT IN MASTERS, BUT THEY HAD INCREASES IN BOTH IN APPROACHES AND MEETS.

[02:00:10]

CLEARFORK AND NAVARRO SHOWED IMPROVEMENT IN ALL.

SO WHEN THESE FIFTH GRADERS COMPARED TO FOURTH GRADE AT CLEAR FORK AND NAVARRO, ALL LEVELS SHOWED IMPROVEMENT.

PLUM CREEK DID SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN PROGRESS WHEN YOU.

I'M SORRY IN APPROACHES WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COHORT.

AN INTERESTING PIECE OF DATA IS WHEN WE REMOVED THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE FROM THIS GRADE LEVEL, WE FOUND THAT 95% OF ALL SCORES.

SO YOU LOOK AT APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS ACROSS ALL CAMPUSES SHOWED A MEETS IMPROVEMENT AS COMPARED TO WHERE THEY WERE LAST YEAR.

SO WE HAVE ALL THREE GRADE LEVELS SHOWING THAT WITH THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IS WHERE WE NEED TO DO A HEAVY LIFT.

SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THE MEETS IMPROVED WHEN THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IS REMOVED, BUT THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE WILL NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE CBA'S AS WELL AS THE END OF THE YEAR ASSESSMENT.

SO THAT IS WHERE WE NEED TO PUT A FOCUS.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS BASELINE DATA.

SO JUST A PIECE OF INFORMATION TO SHOW YOU NEXT YEAR.

YOU'LL HAVE COMPARABLE DATA FROM THIS YEAR TO NEXT YEAR.

BUT THIS IS WHERE WE STAND WHEN YOU YOU INCLUDE THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE.

AND JUST TO REMIND OUR TEAM, THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE IS THE ONE THAT GETS GRADED TWICE 0 TO 5.

THEY END UP WITH TEN POINTS AND IT'S THE PORTION OF THE EXAM THAT USES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S THE ALSO KNOWN AS ACR BUT THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE.

SO THIS IS THE PRINCIPALS AND LEADERS DECIDED TO ADD THAT TO CBA 1.

NEXT WE HAVE FIFTH GRADE MATH.

WE DID SEE SOME DIPS AT ABS.

ACROSS THE BOARD. BLUEBONNET HAD INCREASES ACROSS THE BOARD.

CLEARFORK SHOWED SOME DECREASES ACROSS THE BOARD.

NAVARRO HAD AN IMPROVEMENT IN APPROACHES.

PC HAD IMPROVEMENT IN APPROACHES AND MEETS.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COHORT DATA ABS IS UP IN MEETS CFE IS ACTUALLY SO EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE DOWN COMPARED TO THE FIFTH GRADERS FROM LAST YEAR.

AS FOURTH GRADERS, CLEAR FORK HAS SHOWN IMPROVEMENT IN ALL SECTIONS, SO APPROACHES MEETS AND MASTERS BY COHORT ALL WENT UP.

NAVARRO IS UP AND APPROACHES PLUM CREEK IS UP AND APPROACHES AND MEETS A ONE AREA OF CONCERN FOR FIFTH GRADE MATH IS WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE SAME STANDARDS TAUGHT FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR, IT IS OPPOSITE OF THIRD AND FOURTH.

WE DECLINED IN THE STANDARDS, THE SAME STANDARDS WE WERE ABLE TO COMPARE FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.

SO THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL SPIRALING OF TEKS FROM CBA 1 INTO THE NEXT CBA TWO THAT NOT ONLY WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE THE STANDARDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY TEACHING IN THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE, BUT SPIRALING IN THOSE THAT WE SAW DEFICIENCIES IN AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S CBA.

SO HERE WE HAVE THE JUNIOR HIGH.

YOU HAVE BOTH SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH.

JUST A REMINDER, THE GREEN BARS ARE FROM LAST YEAR.

THE ORANGE OR FROM THIS YEAR.

SO SIXTH GRADE COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, SIXTH GRADE, WE SHOWED A SLIGHT DECLINE, 1% IN APPROACHES, BUT WE WERE UP IN MEETS AND MASTERS AND SEVENTH GRADE.

WE ARE DOWN IN ALL THREE AND EIGHTH GRADE.

WE ARE DOWN SLIGHTLY IN APPROACHES BUT UP IN MEETS AND MASTERS.

ONCE AGAIN I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COHORT, EVEN THOUGH IN ENGLISH THE STANDARDS DO SPIRAL.

BUT MOVING FROM FIFTH TO SIXTH, WE STILL WANTED TO LOOK AT THE COHORT INFORMATION.

THE SIXTH GRADE, EVEN IN APPROACHES WHERE THEY DECLINED BY 1%, IT IS UP FOR ALL COHORT STUDENTS.

IT APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS.

SO THE FIFTH GRADERS LAST YEAR, NOW IN SIXTH GRADE ALL SHOWED IMPROVEMENTS ON CBA ONE.

ONCE AGAIN HERE ARE SOME BASELINE DATA FOR SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH THAT DID THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE WILL DO COMPARABLE DATA NEXT YEAR.

NOW YOU HAVE JUNIOR HIGH MATH SIXTH GRADE.

WE ARE UP IN APPROACHES MEETS AND MASTERS.

SEVENTH GRADE UP IN APPROACHES MEETS AND STAYED THE SAME IN MASTERS.

EIGHTH GRADE UP IN APPROACHES MEETS AND MASTERS AND THEN YOU SEE THE ALGEBRA SCORES.

WE ARE DOWN MASTERS AFTER CBA 1 IN THE FOR THE ALGEBRA STUDENTS ONCE AGAIN IN SIXTH GRADE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE COHORT WHEN THEY WERE FIFTH GRADE, WE ARE UP IN APPROACHES AND MEETS COMPARED TO FIFTH GRADE AND THEN THE SIXTH GRADERS WHO ARE NOW IN SEVENTH GRADE, ALL ARE UP. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT COHORT AND FROM SEVENTH TO EIGHTH, ALL CATEGORIES ARE UP FOR THE COHORT GOING INTO EIGHTH GRADE.

[02:05:03]

SO NEXT WE HAVE ENGLISH ONE AND ENGLISH TWO AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN APPROACHES, BUT WE WERE UP IN MEETS AND WE ARE UP IN MASTERS FOR ENGLISH ONE AND ENGLISH TWO.

WE ARE DOWN IN BOTH IN ALL THREE APPROACHES MEETS AND MASTERS WHEN LOOKING AT ENGLISH TWO.

THE THIS IS MUCH LIKE THE ELEMENTARY THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH.

IF WE WERE TO REMOVE THE SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, WE WOULD BE EVEN IN APPROACHES, WE'D BE UP IN MEETS AND WE WOULD BE EVEN IN MASTERS.

SO ONCE AGAIN, EVEN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, WE NEED TO FOCUS IN ON SPIRALING BACK IN SUPPORT FOR SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT COHORT, I ONLY LOOKED AT EIGHTH TO NINTH AND THEY ARE UP IN MEETS AND THEY'RE EVEN IN MATH.

ACTUALLY THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT BELOW IN MASTERS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COHORT.

BASELINE DATA FOR BOTH ENGLISH ONE AND TWO, INCLUDING THE EXTENDED CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, WILL MAKE COMPARISONS NEXT YEAR AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ALGEBRA AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ARE UP IN ALL THREE CATEGORIES APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS.

ANY QUESTIONS? BEFORE I GO ON TO THE PROGRESS MONITORING THE ACTION PLAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH CAMPUSES THAT DOCTOR SANCHEZ ASKED EARLIER.

YEAH. WELL, MY THINKING IS WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE DATA AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT APPROACHES, MEETS AND MASTERS.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT THAT YOU'RE THINKING? ARE WE ARE WE LIKE REALLY ARE OUR STUDENTS EVER GOING TO DO HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF MASTERY? I MEAN, IS THAT THE GOAL IS EVER THE THINKING EVER ABOUT, ARE OUR KIDS EVER GOING TO JUST REALLY HAVE AN A HIGH INCREASE IN MASTERY? YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR DISTRICT VALUES IS THAT WE WANT ALL STUDENTS TO SHOW 1.5 GROWTH.

SO THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IS TO ACHIEVE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS POSSIBLE.

AS LONG AS WE'RE MAINTAINING THAT 1.5 GOAL, SO WILL WE EVER HAVE 100% MASTERY? MAYBE NOT, BUT SHOULD WE AIM FOR IT? ABSOLUTELY. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE HAVE WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA, YOU KNOW, ON A DAILY BASIS, PROVIDING THE BEST TIER ONE INSTRUCTION POSSIBLE IS THAT EACH STUDENT IS GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVE AND WHAT THEY NEED IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND REACH THAT 1.5 GROWTH.

I CAN TELL YOU ALSO OUR, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY, WHILE WE HAVE SOME AREAS OF BRIGHT SPOTS IN GENERAL WHERE WE ARE AT MEETS AND MASTERS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RATE AND WE HAVE TO DO BETTER, WE MUST DO BETTER.

YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.

ALL THE DATA. I'M THINKING I DON'T KNOW THAT.

I TO ME SEEMS CONCERNING TO ME TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT COULD CHANGE, TO REALLY IMPACT KIDS AT HIGHER LEVELS AND I UNDERSTAND 1.5 GROWTH I DO FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS, BUT I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PERCENTAGES, YOU KNOW, IS SOMETHING THAT I'M WONDERING, WHY AREN'T WE DOING BETTER? YEAH AND WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

THE DATA IS CONCERNING IN MANY AREAS.

WE DO HAVE SOME AREAS WHERE WE CAN HIGHLIGHT, BUT THE DATA IS NOT WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE AND THAT'S PART OF THIS CAMPUS PROGRESS MONITORING AND ACTION PLAN, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH CAMPUSES TO IMPROVE THAT DATA.

IS THIS AN INTENT OR IS THIS BEING PRESENTED IN ANTICIPATION, THAT OF CONCERNS WE MIGHT HAVE TONIGHT OR THIS IS BEING PRESENTED BECAUSE THIS IS OUR RESPONSE PLAN TO CBA ONE.

SO THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ALREADY GOING TO DO.

WE ALREADY WERE IN WORKS WITH WORKING WITH CAMPUSES ON DELIVERING AN ACTION PLAN OR PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN.

SO CAMPUSES ALREADY PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION.

I WOULD SAY THAT WE'RE A LITTLE MORE STRATEGIC IN WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE AROUND THAT PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN, AROUND SHARED LEADERSHIP AND WHAT THE CAMPUSES ARE DOING, AND STRATEGIC SUPPORT FROM CNI.

DO YOU WANT TO DISCUSS FRIDAY'S MEETING? YEAH. SO THIS COMING FRIDAY.

WELL, SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE ARE MEETING WITH CAMPUSES TO TALK ABOUT THEIR PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN AND I'VE PRESENTED THIS BEFORE.

TYPICALLY IT'S AFTER THE BENCHMARK, SOMETIMES AFTER CBA 2.

BUT WHERE CAMPUSES HAVE A SPREADSHEET OR THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ACTION PLAN ON WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO TO RESPOND TO THE DATA.

THIS PAST SUMMER, IN PARTICULAR, AT THE PRINCIPAL RETREAT, WE DISCUSSED DOING AN ACTION PLAN AFTER CBA 1.

WHY ARE WE WAITING UNTIL CBA 2 OR THE BENCHMARK IN THE SPRING TO HAVE WHAT WE CONSIDER A HIGH, INTENSE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND WORKING WITH THE DATA THAT WE SEE?

[02:10:01]

SO KNOWING THAT CBA 1 DATA WAS COMING OUT, IT TOOK US A LITTLE OVER A WEEK TO GET THROUGH TO THE ELA DATA.

SO MOST CAMPUSES HAVE SOME VERSION OF A DRAFT OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

THERE ARE TWO CAMPUSES ALREADY THAT HAVE COMPLETED THIS MONITORING PLAN WITH MYSELF AND MEMBERS OF THE CNI TEAM.

BUT THIS FRIDAY, THE SHARED LEADERSHIP MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO DEDICATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THEM TO FINALIZE THESE PLANS.

SO PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, LABOR LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PLAN WILL COME IN FRIDAY INTO THIS ROOM, AND THEY WILL HELP EACH OTHER.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PRINCIPALS WHO WILL BE HELPING FACILITATE AND WORK THROUGH THEIR EXPERIENCES IN CREATING AN APPROPRIATE ACTION PLAN, BUT FRIDAY WILL BE SPENT FINALIZING THAT SO THAT WE CAN THEN THE CAMPUSES CAN THEN IMPLEMENT AND THEN WE WILL MONITOR AS WE GO ALONG.

ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE DATA TO LOOK AT? ARE OUR KIDS REALLY STAAR TEST IS REALLY A READING A READING TEST.

OUR KIDS DEVELOPING AS READERS, CAN THEY COMPREHEND? I MEAN, ARE WE SHOWING THAT THE ASSESSMENTS SHOW THAT WE REALLY ARE EMPOWERING KIDS TO REALLY BE NOT ONLY LITERATE IN READING, BUT WRITING? BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGES, THAT'S WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN I LOOK AT THE DATA.

YEAH, READING IS ESSENTIAL.

STUDENTS CAN'T READ. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO TAKE ANY ASSESSMENT IN PARTICULAR STAAR OR EOC.

I DID TALK A LOT ABOUT SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSES IN THE DATA, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE DATA, WE KNOW THAT WRITING IS A CONCERN.

ALSO IS A IT WAS A CONCERN LAST YEAR.

IT CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN THIS YEAR, WHETHER THAT'S STUDENTS BUILDING THE CAPACITY TO WRITE, BUT ALSO THE CALIBRATION AMONGST TEACHERS AND LEADERS AND ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SCORING APPROPRIATELY.

WE THOUGHT WE WERE VERY HEAVY HANDED LAST YEAR, STAAR CAME BACK AND WE REALIZED IN SOME GRADE LEVELS WE WEREN'T TOUGH ENOUGH.

SO IT'S BOTH LITERACY, YOU KNOW LEARNING AND HELPING STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO READ AND WE CAN USE THAT.

1.5. THE PROGRAMS TO SEE HOW WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MONITORING AND GROWING THERE.

BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT WRITING IS A CONCERN.

YEAH, BECAUSE THOSE ARE RECIPROCAL PROCESSES.

GOOD READERS ARE GOOD WRITERS, GOOD WRITERS, READERS.

SO ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU DOCTOR. I HAVE A QUESTION.

YES, SIR. IF I CAN GET IN HERE IN A MINUTE.

FIRST OF ALL, I'M CONFUSED ABOUT THE DATA.

YOU'VE GOT THREE CATEGORIES APPROACHES MEETS AND THEN EXCEEDS AND I'M FEELING LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH 100%, BUT I'M NOT.

SO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IT'S NOT 100%.

I KNOW THAT EXCEEDS COULD BE PART OF MEETS, BUT I'M COMING UP WITH 95% WHEN I EVEN WHEN I ADD ALL THREE OF THEM 3 OR 74% AND SO EXPLAIN TO ME I NEED A TUTORIAL ON HOW I'M GOING TO READ THIS, BECAUSE IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE TO ME OR THE OTHER QUESTIONS DON'T EVEN MATTER.

YES, SIR. SO MASTERS IS PARTS OF MEETS.

MEETS IS A PART OF APPROACHES AND WHAT YOU DON'T SEE ON THERE ARE THE KIDS WHO DID NOT MEET.

SO THE LEFTOVER PERCENTAGE TO MAKE 100 ARE NON PASSERS.

WOULD IT NOT BE WORTHWHILE TO INCLUDE THAT AS A BAR? IT MIGHT SHOW IF YOU ALL ASKED FOR US TO INCLUDE THE DID NOT MEETS, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY PUT IT IN.

OKAY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.

OKAY. WELL I MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE UNDERSTANDABLE.

YEAH, IT'S JUST CONFUSING FOR ME BECAUSE I SEE NUMBERS ALL OVER THE PLACE NO MATTER WHICH WAY I WENT AT IT.

I'M, YOU KNOW, AT SOME SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT ONE HERE THAT'S 113%.

SO I'M CONFUSED BY THAT.

OKAY. BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T, I CAN'T FIGURE OUT SOME WAY FOR IT TO ADD UP TO 100%.

I'M GOING TO BE UNABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HELPS WHEN YOU ADD THIS, TO THIS, OR THIS IS PART OF THIS AND PART OF THIS.

IF YOU SUBTRACT THE APPROACHES BAR, PULL UP ONE OF THE SLIDES.

WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH IT REAL QUICK.

YEAH. SO IF YOU I'LL JUST GO TO THE GREEN BAR TO THE LEFT, THE ENGLISH ONE.

SO THE 5% IT GOES TOWARDS THE LEFT.

RIGHT. SO IF YOU HIT MASTERS THE 5%.

IT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF MASTERS A 77 AS WELL AS THIS 58.

SO THESE ARE ALL CONSIDERED PASSERS.

BUT THIS IS THE LEVEL THAT THEY ALL PASS.

YOU SUBTRACT THIS APPROACHES NUMBER FROM 100 AND THAT'S HOW MANY KIDS DID NOT PASS.

SO THEY DIDN'T PASS OR THEY DIDN'T.

23% OF THE KIDS DID NOT PASS.

EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT APPROACHES IS BECAUSE APPROACHES IS NOT PASSING EITHER.

APPROACHES IS PASSING WHEN YOU ACCORDING TO.

ACCORDING TO STAAR. I MEAN SORRY TO TEA OKAY.

ACCORDING TO THEM, IT'S CORRECT AND THE PERCENTAGES ARE DIFFERENT BY TEST AND THE PERCENTAGES IN SOME CASES CAN BE WHAT SOME OF US CONSIDER VERY.

[02:15:05]

NO WONDER I'M GETTING CONFUSED.

SO THE APPROACHES DID PASS, BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.

SO NOW THAT YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT 23% DIDN'T PASS CE, THAT MAKES SENSE AND I WILL WRITE DOWN ALL OF THIS STUFF SO THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU COME UP HERE, I WON'T HAVE TO REDO THIS, BUT THAT I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WHERE THIS WAS PART OF THIS WAS PART OF THIS.

RIGHT [INAUDIBLE].

SAM YOU THINK WE THERE SHOULD BE A THIRD OR FOURTH BAR ON THERE THAT SHOWS THAT.

WELL, NOW THAT I KNOW THAT FIRST NUMBER, WHATEVER YOU TAKE AWAY FROM IT IS PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T PASS BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHO PASSED AND WHO DIDN'T PASS OR NOT WHO, BUT HOW MANY AND SO NOW I CAN FIGURE THAT OUT BECAUSE THEY ALL PASSED.

IT'S NOT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE EXCEEDS WAS BETTER.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'LL TAKE IT.

I'LL TAKE THAT AND I'LL TAKE THE PASSING FOR SURE.

BUT. WELL, YEAH, I JUST LIKE I SAID, AND SOMEBODY THAT'S AN OUTSIDER THAT'S NEVER DONE ANY TESTING OR ANYTHING, THEY'RE GOING TO BE JUST LIKE I WAS TONIGHT GOING, WAIT A MINUTE, WE CAN ADD THAT, I APOLOGIZE.

I ACTUALLY HAVE DIRECTED OUR, TEAM TO TRY TO KEEP IT.

WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS LIMIT THE NUMBER OF BARS.

BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO ADD MORE BARS.

WELL, I'D RATHER JUST SEE TWO BARS OR THREE.

I CAN SEE THREE BARS.

WELL, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THOSE MEETS AND MASTERS AS WELL.

THAT'S WHY WE SHOWED THAT BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, 5% IS NOT ACCEPTABLE LIKE IT IS.

THAT IS THAT WILL NEVER BE OKAY.

WE NEED TO MONITOR THAT.

WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT AND DEVELOP A PLAN TO IMPROVE IT.

BUT WE CAN ADD A FOURTH BAR IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD.

YOU'LL HEAR MANY. THERE'S OTHER DISTRICTS THAT SAY 90/60/30, BUT 5% MASTERS IS NOT APPROPRIATE.

BEING BELOW 50% MEETS IS INAPPROPRIATE.

I MEAN, IN ORDER FOR US TO BECAUSE ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO HAVE ALL EIGHT CAMPUSES.

THESE PERCENTAGES RIGHT HERE WILL NOT GET US THERE.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU MERGE THE TWO ON THE LEFT AND IT JUST SHOWS 5 AND 77 AND THEN WHATEVER DIDN'T PASS, IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER THAN DOING THIS.

WHAT YOU JUST EXPLAINED.

WE CAN PUT AN INFORMAL POLL.

I MEAN, WHAT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD TO THE FOURTH BAR? MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU? I THINK THE ONLY THING WITH ADDING THE FOURTH BAR WHEN IT'S DID NOT PASS, YOU WANT THAT BAR TO GO DOWN, BUT YOU WANT ALL THE OTHER BARS TO GO UP. SO IT WOULD GET CONFUSING.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT LIKE RIGHT NOW, YOU JUST WANT ALL THE BARS TO GO UP.

I WOULD GET CONFUSED AGAIN, I'M SURE.

YEAH, BUT IF YOU ADDED THE FOURTH BAR AND YOU'RE LIKE, WAIT A SECOND, IS THAT THE BAR WE WANT TO GO DOWN OR IS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SAMPLES AND YOU ALL CAN TELL ME HOW YOU WANT IT AND WE CAN HAVE ONE ON ONE MEETINGS.

WE CAN DO WHATEVER.

SIMPLE MATH LIKE [INAUDIBLE], YOU KNOW, 23%.

IT'S NOT MATH.

MATH WAS ONE OF MY GOOD SUBJECTS.

BUT THIS KIND OF MATH IS NOT BECAUSE THIS IS THE NEW MATH AND, HERE WE GO.

SO YOU MAY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS EVERY TIME WE DO THIS.

I AM ABSOLUTELY OKAY WITH THAT.

MR. LOCKHART. I MEAN, AND IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY LISTENING WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU JUST GOT TO THINK, MR. LOCKHART. YOU JUST GOT TO THINK 77% OF THAT 77%, 58% GOT MEET OF THAT 58%, FIVE GOT MASTERS OF ABOVE.

I'M STILL CONFUSED BY WHY APPROACHES.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF SENSE TO ME.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S THE STATE. ACCOUNTABILITY CAN BE TRICKY.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT AS BEST I CAN TO EVERYBODY HERE AND THOSE LISTENING OR ANYBODY THAT WALKS UP, I GET IT.

ACCOUNTABILITY CAN BE TRICKY, I GET IT.

WELL, WE'RE NOT THE ONES THAT ARE SETTING THE PARAMETERS, SO THAT'S OKAY.

IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE BOARD, WE CAN RE-EXPLAIN IT WHEN WE SHOW IT, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE US TO KEEP ALL THREE, BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO REACH OUR GOAL OF BECOMING AN A DISTRICT AND ENSURING THAT EVERY CAMPUS IS AN A AND ALSO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO FOCUS AND ENSURE THAT TO OUR PARENTS, WE'RE NOT OKAY WITH KIDS APPROACHING GRADE LEVEL LIKE WE EXPECT FOR THEM TO MEET AND EXCEED MASTER GRADE LEVEL AND I THINK IF WE WERE TO REMOVE THAT WE WOULD SEND THE WRONG MESSAGE TO OUR STAFF.

WELL, EVEN IF WE ADDED A BAR, I WOULDN'T WANT TO REMOVE THE OTHERS ANYWAY.

OKAY, I THINK THAT'S A VERY.

ABOUT THIS IN THE FUTURE, LET'S.

WHY DON'T YOU GO? GO AHEAD.

I'LL JUST SAY VERY. I MEAN, JUST TO REITERATE WHAT MR. ESTRADA SAID IS WE EXPECT THESE PERCENTAGES TO BE HIGHER, IN PARTICULAR IN THE MEETS AND MASTERS.

THAT'S WHERE WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE, AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH OUR CAMPUSES AND BY DOING SO, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE ACTION PLANS AROUND WHAT

[02:20:08]

SO THIS PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN HAS WE'VE TWEAKED IT A BIT COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR.

SO THERE'S THE EACH CAMPUS, ALTHOUGH THE TEMPLATES LOOK ALMOST THE SAME, THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES.

CAMPUSES DO HAVE THE AUTONOMY TO EDIT THE TEMPLATE AS, THEY WANT FOR WHAT'S BEST FOR THEIR CAMPUSES.

BUT EVERY TEMPLATE, EVERY PROGRESS MONITORING PLAN MUST HAVE DATA BROKEN DOWN BY GRADE TEACHER AND STUDENT.

SO THAT'S A NON-NEGOTIABLE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, TO TALK ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES THAT WILL BE PUT INTO PLACE OR SUPPORTED AROUND THE STUDENTS WHO NEED NOT ONLY INTERVENTION BUT ENRICHMENT.

SO IT'S NOT JUST THE KIDS.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RTI THAT ARE IN TIER THREE OR TIER TWO, IT IS ABOUT ALL CHILDREN AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO GET? WHAT INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES ARE GOING TO BE IN PLACE? ONE OF THE BIGGEST KICKERS FOR ALL OF THIS IS THE MONITORING PIECE.

SO A NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR THESE PLANS IS THAT THE CAMPUSES HAVE ACTUAL DATES AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO ASSESS SO THAT I CAN WALK IN AND MEMBERS OF THE CNI ON A WEEKLY OR BIWEEKLY BASIS AND ASK, OKAY, WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS PLAN? HERE IS HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES THAT YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO PUT INTO PLACE.

HERE'S AN ASSESSMENT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO USE.

SO PART OF MY ONE ON ONE WITH THE PRINCIPALS TO CHECK IN ON HOW THAT'S GOING.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS THEY RESPOND TO THE DATA, WE'VE ASKED PRINCIPALS TO THINK ABOUT REVISING THEIR WALK THROUGH SCHEDULE.

SO ARE THERE TEACHERS THAT THEY NEED TO BE IN CAMPUSES, I'M SORRY, IN CLASSROOMS MORE OFTEN BASED ON THE DATA.

SO THE PRINCIPALS UP, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN FINALIZING ON FRIDAY, WE'LL TALK TO THEIR AP'S AND LABOR LEADERS ABOUT DO THEY NEED TO REVISIT AND REVISE THE WALKTHROUGH SCHEDULE OF THE TEACHERS ON THEIR CAMPUS? AND MY INITIAL QUESTION WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DATA DISAGGREGATION, DO YOU DO THEY DISAGGREGATE THEIR DATA CAMPUS LEVEL WITH TEACHERS? AND THEN ARE YOU GUYS MEET WITH THEM AND DISAGGREGATE THE DATA TO LOOK AT THE IMPLICATIONS.

SO CAMPUSES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DISAGGREGATING THE DATA.

BUT AND I WILL SAY THAT WE THAT MR. MCBRIDE OR I OR ANY MEMBER FROM CNI WHEN ASKED AND WE ACTUALLY APPROACH BECAUSE CNI MEMBERS JOIN ME, WE DO THIS, WE DO WALKS LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE WILL PROVIDE ANY DATA THAT'S NEEDED.

MR. MCBRIDE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF CNI DO PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AROUND DATA, WHETHER IT'S OVER ED, AT EUPHORIA.

HOW TO LOOK AT AN ASSESSMENT.

BUT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR PULLING.

BUT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPORTING.

SO IF THEY ASK WE NEED TO BE THERE.

SO COACHING CYCLES PRINCIPALS AND THEIR TEAMS HAVE BEEN ASKED AS WELL AS THEY'LL TALK ABOUT ON FRIDAY.

WE HAVE SHORT CYCLE COACHING CYCLES AND WE HAVE LONG TERM LONG COACHING CYCLES.

SO THERE'S TWO VERSIONS OF IT.

WE'VE ASKED THEM TO RETHINK WHETHER THOSE CYCLES NEED TO CHANGE.

SO ARE THERE TEACHERS WHO NEED TO GO FROM SHORT TO LONG OR VICE VERSA, DEPENDING ON THEIR DATA? SO THAT'S A CONVERSATION WITH BOTH THE APS AND LEVER LEADERS, BUT MAINLY THE LEVER LEADERS, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO DO THE MAJORITY OF THE COACHING, ALTHOUGH NOT ALL OF IT SPIRAL ANTIQUES.

SO THE ACTION PLAN MUST TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SPIRAL ANTIQUE'S.

SO YOU HEARD ME SAY SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE WAS A SPECIFIC TEK THAT WAS COVERED TOWARDS THE END, AND IT BROUGHT THE AVERAGES DOWN.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SPIRAL THAT BACK IN? BUT IN FIFTH GRADE, WHEN I TALKED ABOUT MATH, THE SAME TEKS THAT THEY TAUGHT LAST YEAR.

I'M SORRY THAT WERE TESTED LAST YEAR ON CB1 COMPARED TO THIS YEAR.

THREE OF THE FOUR WENT DOWN, SO THOSE ALL HAD TO BE SPIRALED IN DURING THIS NEXT GRADING CYCLE.

SO THE PLAN MUST INCLUDE WHAT THEY'RE DOING ABOUT SPIRALING TEKS, WHETHER THAT'S AND I JUST GAVE AN EXAMPLE.

MANY OF THE ELEMENTARY WELL ACTUALLY ALL GROUPS ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW COULD THEY IMPLEMENT MORE STRATEGIC SMALL GROUPS AROUND THOSE SPIRAL TEKS AND THEN PLC PLANNING? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT GOING IN AND IMPROVING TIER ONE INSTRUCTION? SO THE PLCS TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE TIER ONE INSTRUCTION, HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING INTERVENTIONS AND ENRICHMENTS IN PLACE, BUT REALLY HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE DATA.

SO WHEN YOU ASK WHO'S RESPONSIBLE THEY CAN PULL IT.

WE CAN HELP THEM PULL IT.

WE CAN GO DOWN AND HELP THEM DISAGGREGATE IT.

PART OF OUR ONE ON ONE MEETINGS, WHEN THEY ARE THE, YOU KNOW, THE TWO CAMPUSES THAT HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED THIS, WE DO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DISAGGREGATING THE DATA AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. SO THAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO GO TO THE PLC SO THAT THEY CAN USE THAT INFORMATION TO GET INSTRUCTION TO THE BEST OF THE TEACHERS ABILITY AND THEN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

SO ONE THING THAT HAS COME UP AFTER TALKING TO THE LABOR LEADERS ABOUT THE DATA, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE COACHING, IS THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE CONTINUOUS CALIBRATION WHEN THEY SAW THE DISCREPANCIES IN THAT SHORT CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE AND PULLING THAT DATA OUT, THEY REALIZED THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE

[02:25:04]

SO THE LABOR LEADERS ON CAMPUS CALIBRATING MORE WITH EACH OTHER, THE AP AND THE PRINCIPAL.

BUT THEY ALSO WANT TO COME INTO A SPACE WHERE THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER AND CALIBRATE BY LOOKING OVER THE WALKTHROUGH FORM SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CALIBRATED AND THAT'S NOT ONLY ON THE FUNDAMENTAL FIVE, BUT ALSO ABOUT WRITING.

YOU KNOW, I'M GIVING THE THAT ENGLISH TWO.

I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THIS.

THE S THE SHORT CONSTRUCTION RESPONSE HAD MORE 20% MORE ZEROS THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR AND THAT'S FOR OUR 10TH GRADERS AND THAT'S JUST THAT'S A SURPRISING PIECE OF DATA.

BUT I CAN SAY IT'S SURPRISING.

OR WE CAN DRILL DOWN.

IS IT A CALIBRATION? DID WE SCORE TOO HARD.

BUT THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT LEVER LEADERS AND CAMPUSES HAVE TO HAVE.

THAT RAISES A QUESTION FOR ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LEVER LEADERS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY ON THIS THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

ARE WE GETTING A RETURN ON THAT MONEY? I MEAN, AREN'T ISN'T THERE PURPOSES TO IMPROVE LEARNING ON THE CAMPUSES WITH ALL THE TEACHERS AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY WORK WITH DAY BY DAY? YES, SIR AND I WOULD SAY THAT WE ABSOLUTELY ARE GETTING OUR RETURN ON OUR MONEY.

SO THEY ARE WE TYPICALLY SAY CLOSEST TO THE WORK.

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE NON-EVALUATIVE COACHES OF OUR TEACHERS.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS STRATEGIC CONVERSATIONS AND PLANNING AMONGST THE LEVER LEADERS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND PRINCIPALS, SO THAT TEAM NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE LEVER LEADER HAS THE SKILL OR THAT SKILL IS BUILT UP IN ORDER TO TEACH AND COACH.

I'M SORRY TO COACH THE TEACHERS, BUT I, THE LEVER LEADERS ARE AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PART TO NOT ONLY IMPROVING PEDAGOGY ON OUR CAMPUSES, BUT THEY ARE KIND OF A LIFELINE IN THAT THREAD OF MAKING SURE THAT INSTRUCTION IS IMPROVING ON OUR CAMPUSES.

I THINK AS WELL, YOU KNOW, PART OF DOING THAT WAS TO RETAIN OUR BEST TEACHERS AND, I MEAN, THE DATA IS VERY CLEAR.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEVER DATA COMPARED TO AN AVERAGE TEACHER PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD, I THINK WE HAVE CONCERNS WITH ONE.

BUT PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE THAT THOSE PERFORMANCE AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS WORKING OUT VERY WELL AND RETAINING THEM TO WHERE WE POTENTIALLY COULD LOSE THEM TO OTHER DISTRICTS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

BUT YES, THEY ARE BUILDING OUT SYSTEMS ACROSS THE CAMPUS AS WELL AND BEFORE I END THE PRESENTATION, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THE DATA IS CONCERNING AND WE TAKE IT TO HEART AND WE KNOW THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE BOARD, AND THE CNI DEPARTMENT WILL BE THERE TO HELP CAMPUSES.

WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR THESE ACTION PLANS AND WE'LL LOOK FOR STUDENT, YOU KNOW, IMPROVEMENT BY INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS BOARD.

THANK YOU.

WE MOVE ON TO ITEM 8 F REVIEW OF CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR BOARD MEMBERS UNDER SENATE BILL 1566.

[Consider and/or Approve Board Appointees to the District’s School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) ]

GOOD EVENING.

BOARD SUPERINTENDENT.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.

I AM PROUD TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING OUR 2024 2025 MEMBERSHIP ROSTER.

THIS IS ALL BEEN SHARED WITH YOU PRIOR TO THIS MEETING FOR YOUR REVIEW.

JUST A REMINDER, WE DO BRING THIS TO YOU ANNUALLY.

OUR MEMBERSHIP IS MADE UP OF OVER THE MAJORITY OR OVER 50% PARENTS.

WE DO HAVE DISTRICT EMPLOYEES ON THE SHAC AS WELL AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND WE DO HAVE BOARD APPOINTED MEMBERS AS WELL.

SO ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LIST AS PRESENTED? NO. I MOVED TO APPROVE THE SHAC COMMITTEE LIST AS PRESENTED.

WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? PASSES 7 TO 0 AND WE THANK THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO SERVE ON THIS BOARD? YES, ITEM 9B CONSIDER AND OR APPROVE A BID TO REPLACE THE ATHLETIC STADIUM FENCING.

[Consider and/or Approve a Bid to Replace the Athletic Stadium Fencing]

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MR. ESTRADA. I COME TO YOU WITH THE LAST TWO AGENDA ITEMS. OUR FIRST AGENDA ITEM IS REPLACING THE ATHLETIC STADIUM FENCING.

AS YOU KNOW, WE WENT OUT FOR A BID FOR THAT.

THIS LAST MONTH, OUR BUDGET WAS $150,000.

AS A RESULT, WITH OUR GROUP OUR BOND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER.

OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND MYSELF.

WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CUSTOM FENCES, ACTUAL PROPOSAL WITH THE EXTERIOR FENCE BEING THE EIGHT FOOT CHAIN LINK FENCE.

IT'S THE BLACK COATED VINYL IN REPLACING THE INTERIOR FENCE, WHICH IS THE FOUR FOOT FENCE AS WELL, IN ORDER TO STAY WITHIN BUDGET.

WILL THE FENCE BE INSTALLED IN SUCH A WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SHIFTING OF THE SOILS AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE SO BAD IN THIS AREA? TO SOME DEGREE IT'S KIND OF HARD.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE DEFINITELY THEY'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE PUTTING IN CONCRETE JUST LIKE IT IS TODAY.

SO. BUT I THINK THEY'RE PUTTING IT FAR ENOUGH DOWN TO WHERE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE AS MUCH SHIFTING OR YOU SHOULDN'T SEE IT.

BUT OF COURSE, OVER THE COURSE OF TIME, IT WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT TO SOME DEGREE.

DO YOU LIVE IN LOCKHART? YES, WE DO LIVE IN LOCKHART, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE.

OH. GO AHEAD. SORRY. CHAIN LINK FENCING.

THAT IS UP. DO YOU RECALL WHEN THAT WAS INSTALLED? THAT WAS WAY BEFORE MY TIME AND I DON'T MEAN TO AGE MYSELF, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT FENCE WAS HERE WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL DURING MY SPEAKERS] FIVE YEARS? YEAH. DURING MY TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE.

WE AND I'M GETTING AGAIN CLOSE TO 20 YEARS.

WE HAVE NOT REPLACED THAT FENCE WITH AND I'M NOT SURPRISED, YOU KNOW, WITH THE STATE OF THE FENCE, WITH THE NEW FENCING THAT WE RECENTLY INSTALLED THAT'S GOING TO BUTT UP AGAINST THIS WITH BEING A CURRENTLY A ONE HIGH SCHOOL TOWN AND FENCE LASTING SO LONG.

WHILE I KNOW WE HAD A DESIRE FOR 150,000.

CAN YOU JUST WALK US THROUGH WHAT? THE OTHER ONE.

I MEAN, IF IT'S GOING TO BE THERE FOR 40 YEARS? SURE. I'M JUST CURIOUS TO TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THOSE BIDS CAME BACK.

[02:35:03]

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BID TABULATIONS THAT WE HAD HERE WE HAD TWO VENDORS WHICH ARE AT THE TOP OF THE THING, THE ANCHOR GROUP AND THE SWIFT GROUP THAT ACTUALLY BID THE SAME FENCE THAT WE'RE INSTALLING CURRENTLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THE SAFETY FENCE AROUND THE.

YOU'RE CORRECT AROUND THE PORTABLES.

OKAY. SO WE HAD TWO OF THEM ACTUALLY MATCH IT, THE SAME TYPE OF FENCE.

WE HAD FOUR OR ACTUALLY FIVE VENDORS THAT ACTUALLY BID AN ALTERNATIVE WROUGHT IRON TYPE FENCE.

VERY SIMILAR, JUST NOT AS PER SE, HEAVY DUTY AND PER SE BUILT THE SAME WAY, BUT WOULD LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR LOWEST BID.

THERE ON THAT WAS $188,419.

OKAY. SO DOES IT COME WITH A YEAR TIME ON THE ACTUAL CODE OF THAT FENCE? SO ONES LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL, THE HIGHER QUALITY IT IS.

DID THEY GIVE A TIME FRAME ON THE OTHER ONE BEFORE IT STARTS TO RUST OR.

NO, BUT THEY DO.

IT IS A KIND OF LIKE A DIPPED METAL.

SO JEREMIAH, GIVE ME YOUR EXPERIENCE ON JUST HOW LONG THAT LASTS.

[INAUDIBLE] THREE TIMES LONGER THAN A REGULAR CHAIN GALVANIZED CHAIN LINK, JUST BECAUSE IT IS LIKE IT IS DIPPED.

IT'S NOT JUST SPRAYED ON LIKE PAINT, IT'S ACTUALLY A WROUGHT IRON ONE, LIKE THE WROUGHT IRON.

HOW LONG IS THE ONE IN THE COURTYARD BEEN THERE? WELL, THE ONE SINCE 2015, 2016.

SO THE WROUGHT IRON WILL LAST.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE RUST OUT.

SO THE ONE WE HAVE DOWN HERE HAS BEEN HERE SINCE 2017 IS STARTING TO FADE.

SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT COATING IS PUT ON THAT FENCE AND WHO ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED THAT FENCE AT THE TIME I GUESS WHAT MATERIAL THEY USED. BUT THOSE TWO TOP BIDS LIKE 380, [INAUDIBLE] THAT IS FOR THE FENCE THAT WOULD MATCH WHAT'S GOING IN RIGHT NOW.

EXACTLY. THAT IS THE TOP OF THE LINE.

YEAH. PRETTY EXPENSIVE.

IT IS. SO THE SECOND LINE AGAIN, LET ME JUST POINT OUT.

SO PRESIDIO CUSTOM METAL WORKS AND SWIFT CORPORATION AND THE ANCHOR GROUP, THEY ALL BID A MONTAGE COMMERCIAL GRADE, WHICH IS IN THE SAME LINE AGAIN AS THE TOP ONE, THE MAJESTIC.

IT'S JUST A NOTCH LOWER IN REGARDS TO QUALITY.

LOOKS THE SAME ET CETERA.

CUSTOM FENCE AND ANDERSON FENCING.

CUSTOM WELDING.

GIVEN THAT THEY DO CUSTOM FENCE THEMSELVES, THEY ACTUALLY ARE IT'S PIPE FENCING OR, I MEAN, OR METAL FENCING THAT'S NOT IN THAT REALM.

THEY DO IT THEMSELVES, BASICALLY BUY THE MATERIAL, DIP IT, ETC.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT CHEAPER FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

I'D PREFER IT TO LOOK LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL.

[INAUDIBLE].

BUT I'D PREFER THAT OVER CHAIN LINK.

SO THE ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE IS TO I MEAN, JUST TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE WOULD GET THE FUNDS FROM AS WELL.

WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING RIGHT NOW IN THAT OTHER WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING RIGHT NOW IS TO DO BECAUSE BASED ON WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND OF COURSE, WE WERE TRYING TO STAY IN BUDGET FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THE BLACK VINYL CLAD CHAIN LINK FENCE, THE EIGHT FOOT FENCE. HOW MUCH MORE WOULD WE NEED FOR EXTRA? THAT'S BUT THAT'S ALSO DOING THE EXTERIOR AND THE INTERIOR.

BUT THE INTERIOR WOULD STILL BE CHAIN LINK, RIGHT? THE INTERIOR WOULD STILL BE CHAIN, BUT IT'D STILL BE.

IT WOULD BE A BLACK VINYL COATING.

IT WOULD LOOK THE SAME AS THE EXTERIOR.

SO THEY BOTH WOULD BE BLACK.

EARLIER WE HAD ABOUT $160,000 ALREADY THIS YEAR.

WELL, THIS IS WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR FUND BALANCE [INAUDIBLE] SORRY.

WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR OUR FUND BALANCE, THIS IS WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO YOU KNOW, TO DO THIS PROJECT.

WE LOOKED AT OUR FUND BALANCE.

THAT'S WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THIS NUMBER.

MISS WEISER, WOULD YOU MIND MAYBE JUST KIND OF EXPLAINING TO THE BOARD WHAT FUND BALANCE CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE? AND JUST SO HERE'S THE PICTURE TO, YOU KNOW, OF WHAT THAT BLACK VINYL CLAD CHAIN LINK FENCE WOULD LOOK LIKE AND TO YOUR LEFT IS THE OUTSIDE WOULD BE THE OUTSIDE OF THE STADIUM, THE OUTSIDE WOULD BE THE EIGHT FOOT AND THE INSIDE WOULD BE THE, FOUR FOOT.

AND WHAT ARE YOU WANTING, MR. [INAUDIBLE]? THEY WANT TO LOOK LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL.

[INAUDIBLE] THE INTERIOR WOULD BE THAT FOUR FOOT BLACK VINYL THAT'S PROBABLY FOUR FOOT BLACK VINYL THAT WOULD GET THE MOST WEAR AND TEAR, THE ROUGHEST WEAR AND TEAR.

[02:40:01]

THE EXTERIOR WOULD BE THE [INAUDIBLE].

ONE THING I THINK YOU'RE MISSING IS THAT THAT DECORATIVE FENCING IS 350 BUCKS TO MATCH THE HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S 350,000 FROM SWIFT, 380,000 FROM ANCHOR.

THE COMMERCIAL PLUS IS A LOT THINNER METAL.

IT'S A LOT SMALLER, LIKE DIAMETER AND THE POST AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR, VERY SAME HEIGHT.

BUT IF WE WOULD DO THE DECORATIVE FENCING, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH EITHER SWIFT OR ANCHOR BECAUSE THE ONLY ONES THAT BID IT.

PLUS WE'D HAVE TO ADD IN ANOTHER 65,000, THE SAME QUALITY AND THE SAME THICKNESS, BUT IT'S STILL THE SAME LOOK.

IT'S JUST A CHAIN LINK BUT YES.

SO WHAT WOULD ARE YOU SAYING? IT'S DURABILITY WOULD PROBABLY BE A LOT LESS THAN THAT OTHER THE FENCE WE'RE PUTTING UP AT THE HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW, THE COMMERCIAL, THE MONTAGE COMMERCIAL PLUS.

YES THE REGULAR MONTAGE TWO MAJESTIC FENCE ON THE TOP IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE PUTTING IN.

THE COMPANY THAT'S INSTALLING IT RIGHT NOW IS ACTUALLY SWIFT CORPORATION AND THEY CAME IN AT 350,000 JUST TO DO THE EXTERIOR.

THAT'S NOT COUNTING THE INTERIOR AT ALL.

SO YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING JUST FOR THE EXTERIOR? JUST EXTERIOR.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT, IS IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE IN MONEY.

IF YOU GO WITH JUST THE EXTERIOR AND THE INTERIOR FENCING, YOU HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER 65,000 ON TOP OF THAT [INAUDIBLE].

SO THE ONE MISS HOLMAN DISPLAYED WAS 155,000 100,000.

IT'S ACTUALLY WE'RE AT 140, [INAUDIBLE] FOR BOTH THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR, REPLACING IT WITH THE CHAIN LINKS.

CHAIN LINK, THE BLACK VINYL CLAD.

SO WE'RE TALKING OVER $400,000.

YES. VERSUS IF YOU DID THE THE MONTAGE, IT'D BE 350,000 PLUS YOUR BONDS, YOUR CONTINGENCY AND THEN THE IF YOU DECIDED TO DO THE INTERIOR IT'S AN ADD ON AT 65,000.

THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH. SO YOU'RE RECOMMENDING.

YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT 143655.

RIGHT. YES.

TO STAY WITHIN THE BUDGET AND WHAT'S THE LIFETIME OF THE CHAIN LINK.

IT'LL LAST FOREVER.

JUST LIKE. WELL, I MEAN, JUST LIKE YOU'RE JUST LIKE ANOTHER 40 YEARS.

YOU WON'T BE AROUND 20 YEARS.

I CERTAINLY WON'T FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I LIKE THE LOOK. WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT? BUT TO ME, THAT'S TOO MUCH MONEY.

YEAH, IT IS. YEAH, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH.

SO DO WE HAVE TO DO THE INTERIOR OF THE STADIUM RIGHT NOW? CAN WE JUST FOCUS ON THAT? WE CERTAINLY DON'T.

BUT WE LOOKED AT HOW MUCH OUR BUDGET WAS AND BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE SOME DETERIORATION IN THAT INTERIOR FENCE AS WELL, IN MANY LOCATIONS, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT LOOK ALL THE SAME.

YEAH AND BECAUSE IT WOULD REALLY DEFINITELY PUT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD MAKE IT POP A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION, WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE THE FENCES, IT'S UNSAFE.

IT'S FALLING DOWN.

IT'S BEYOND REPAIR.

WE'VE TRIED TO REPAIR IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, IT'S GOING TO IT'LL BE UP FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT DECISION AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THAT INTERIOR FENCE GETS MORE WEAR AND TEAR WHERE PEOPLE ARE LEANING AGAINST IT.

THEY FEEL LIKE THAT. I'D GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATION.

YEAH. I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION RIGHT NOW.

SO ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? NO. I WANT TO MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE RFP 24-007 FOR REPLACING THE ATHLETIC STADIUM FENCING AS PRESENTED, AND AMEND THE 2024, 2025 BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF 143,650.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I DO. SO IT PASSES 6 TO 1.

EVERYBODY ELSE. OKAY.

THE MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE TO GET THIS.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE JUNIOR HIGH CHILLER.

LET ME ANNOUNCE IT. SO SORRY.

ITEM NINE C CONSIDER AND OR APPROVE A BID TO REPLACE THE CHILLERS AT LOCKHART JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

[Consider and/or Approve a Bid to replace the Chillers at Lockhart Junior High School]

AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE JUNIOR HIGH CHILLERS AS WELL.

SO WE DID PUT THEM OUT TO BID AND SINCE THOSE HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE HIGH OR THE JUNIOR HIGH WAS BUILT BACK IN 2000.

WE DID HAVE ALL OF OUR STUFF ENGINEERED THROUGH ESA, AND WE DID HAVE EIGHT PROPOSALS THAT CAME IN.

HOWEVER, THREE WERE DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A VALID BID BOND THAT WAS ACTUALLY PRESENTED WITH THE BID AND THAT BASICALLY ALLOWS US TO SEE WHAT THEIR BONDING CAPACITY IS, ESPECIALLY FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS.

WITH IT BEING SO COSTLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COVERED IN THAT REGARD.

SO I DO HAVE HERE THE BID TABULATION, WHICH PRESENTS ALL OF THE BIDS THAT WERE HERE.

THE BASE BID DOES INCLUDE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR, AND A ONE YEAR COMPRESSOR WARRANTY.

[02:45:07]

SO IT BRINGS US TO $776,000 WITH THAT PARTICULAR BID.

WE DO PLAN THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE CONTROLS.

SO WE DO PLAN TO GO OUT TO BID FOR THE CONTROLS AS WELL AND WE'LL BRING THAT BACK AND TO Y'ALL AT ANOTHER TIME AS WELL.

THE EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE OF THIS WOULD BE MARCH 17TH, 2025.

WE WOULD PLAN TO ACTUALLY DO THE INSTALLATION WHILE SCHOOL IS IN PROGRESS.

SO HOW DO WE THERE'S NO TROUBLE KEEPING THE ENVIRONMENT.

WE HAVE A [INAUDIBLE].

WE DO HAVE A TEMPORARY CHILLER THERE RIGHT NOW THAT'S HELPING CONTROL THE CLIMATE IN THE ENVIRONMENT RIGHT NOW.

BUT WITH THE COOLER TEMPERATURES, WHEN WE GET INTO THAT JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH TIME FRAME, WE EXPECT TO BE USING HEAT AND NOT AC.

SO HAVE WE EVER USED THIS COMPANY BEFORE? WE HAVE NOT USED THIS COMPANY BEFORE, BUT THE ENGINEER THAT WE HAVE HAS USED THEM IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS DOWN IN HOUSTON FOR OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL AND HE SAYS THEY ARE VERY CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB.

SO OKAY, THEY'RE KIND OF THEIR REFERENCES.

YES, SIR. THEY ARE KIND OF LOWER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.

YES, SIR. YEAH AND WE ARE IT DID THEY DID ALSO PROVIDE THE MANUFACTURER OF DAIKIN AND THAT'S WHAT OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM WANTED TO GO WITH AS WELL. SO THE WARRANTY PART THAT YOU ADDED.

WERE YOU GOING TO ADD THAT TO ALL OF THEM? THEY DIDN'T SINCE THEY ALL DIDN'T ACTUALLY PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL.

SINCE WE'RE LOOKING AT A WARRANT AWARDING HT INDUSTRIES, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE MOST OF THEM AROUND THAT 10 TO $16,000.

IT WOULDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE FROM AS FAR AS LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS.

SO WE JUST WON'T WE WON'T CONTACT THEM FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

WHATEVER THAT CHILLER IS DOING NOW MUST BE WORKING BECAUSE MY GIRLS WEAR A HOODIE EVERY DAY.

AGAIN, WE DO HAVE A TEMPORARY CHILLER WORKING AS WELL ALONGSIDE.

WHAT WAS OUR ESTIMATE FOR THIS PROJECT? DID THAT BID MEET THAT ESTIMATE OR.

YES. SO OUR THE ACTUAL BUDGET THAT WE PROVIDED IN THE BID FOR THIS WAS $1.1 MILLION.

BUT AGAIN, WE STILL NEED TO GO OUT FOR CONTROLS.

THE CONTROLS WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THIS.

SO WE HAVE MONEY THERE TO TO DO THE CONTROLS AS WELL.

$300,000 RIGHT.

WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THEM TO BE THEY WE ANTICIPATE THEM TO BE WITHIN BUDGET.

ONCE WE ADD BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER, SO CAN WE GET THE FENCE AFTERWARDS AS WE SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE LEFT OVER? JUST AS A REMINDER THAT FENCE WAS SCHOOL SAFETY GRANT.

SO OKAY, SO SAFETY GRANT MONEY RIGHT.

NO, BECAUSE IT'S ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

SO IT IS GENERAL FUND THE ONE THAT THEY'RE COMPARING IT TO.

OH YES YOU ARE CORRECT.

SO SORRY I APOLOGIZE.

THE WROUGHT IRON TO GO BACK TO MR. WRIGHT'S QUESTION ON WHEN WE DO THE CONSTRUCTION PART OF THE CHILLERS, ONLY ONE CHILLER WILL COME DOWN AT A TIME.

SO THE TEMP CHILLER WILL RUN UNTIL WE TAKE THE ONE OUT.

ONCE WE PLACE A NEW ONE AND GET IT UP AND GOING, ANOTHER CHILLER WILL COME OUT.

THEN WE WILL NOT DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT WAY WE HAVE A CHILLER THAT IS RUNNING AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP HUMIDITY DOWN, TO KEEP THE CAMPUS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE AND MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES.

SO WE WILL NOT NEVER TAKE ONE BOTH OF THEM DOWN AT THE SAME TIME.

OKAY, BOARD, ANY MORE QUESTIONS? DO WE HEAR A MOTION? OKAY, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE HT INDUSTRIES PROPOSAL FOR CSP 24-008 FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH CHILLER REPLACEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF 776,250 AND AMEND THE 2024 2025 GENERAL FUND BUDGET.

IF A SATISFACTORY CONTRACT CANNOT BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE HT INDUSTRIES FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH CHILLER REPLACEMENT, THE DISTRICT SHALL FORMALLY END NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT PROVIDER TO SELECT THE NEXT MOST HIGHLY QUALIFIED PROVIDER AND THREE NEGOTIATED CONTRACT WITH THAT PROVIDER AT A FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICE, IN ORDER OF SELECTION BY MOST QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR ONE.

HT INDUSTRIES TWO.

AIRCO MECHANICAL.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? PASSES 7 TO 0.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. I THINK WE DID SOME VALUABLE WORK TONIGHT.

OKAY. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO TEN BOARD AND STAFF COMMENTS.

[BOARD AND STAFF COMMENTS - ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]

WHAT TIME WILL THAT BEGIN? 06:00. SO EVERYBODY, WE'RE WELCOME TO ATTEND, YOU KNOW, SHOW UP IN FORCE AND SHOW [INAUDIBLE].

SO WHERE'S IT GOING TO BE EXACTLY.

YEAH. RIGHT IN THE CORNER.

JEREMIAH, ARE YOU GRILLING? [INAUDIBLE] OH, OKAY.

SO IN IT'LL BE IN THE FENCED IN AREA.

YEAH AND SO WE RECOGNIZE TONIGHT SOME OF OUR TEACHERS FOR WINNING THE BEST OF CALDWELL COUNTY AWARD OR LOCKHART AND SO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE A BOARD MEMBER WHO ALSO WON AN AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING INSURANCE BUSINESS, I GUESS.

SO MISS REBECCA PULLIAM, CONGRATULATIONS [INAUDIBLE].

I WANT TO THANK MISS SALDIVAR FOR HER PRESENTATION AND THE SUCCESS OF OUR EMERGING BILINGUAL STUDENTS.

THEY CONTINUE TO DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL OF OUR TEACHERS, OUR STAFF IN THAT DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR CONTINUED GREAT WORK.

ALSO WANT TO THANK THE BOARD AND, MISS WEISER FOR YOUR WORK ON THE BUDGET.

I THINK, I CONTINUE TO SEE NOT ONLY DISTRICTS WHO PASSED DEFICIT BUDGETS, BUT NOW THAT THE SCHOOL YEAR IS GOING CONTINUE TO HAVING FINANCIAL TROUBLES AND TO NOT BE IN THAT SITUATION, TO ALL THE HARD WORK WITH THE BUDGET PROJECTIONS THAT COME INTO FRUITION TO WHERE WE ARE IN A PLACE TO WHERE WE CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS AS THEY ARISE.

I'M JUST VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM AND THANKFUL TO FOR ALL OF YOU FOR THAT WORK AND THEN AGAIN, BAND AND COLOR GUARD.

JUST SO PROUD OF ALL OF THOSE KIDS AND THOSE DIRECTORS FOR THE OUTSTANDING WORK THAT THEY CONTINUE TO DO.

I CAN'T THINK OF A GROUP WHO EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF 1.5 MORE AND MORE THAN THAT GROUP WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, AND I'M JUST VERY PROUD OF THEM.

OKAY. THANKS, EVERYBODY.

MR. GUYTON. WOULD YOU CLOSE US OUT TONIGHT? DEAR GOD, WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THIS DAY.

WE THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO COME TOGETHER TO DO THE BUSINESS OF THE DISTRICT.

WE ASK YOUR CONTINUED BLESSINGS ON OUR COMMUNITY, OUR KIDS AND ALL KIDS AND COMMUNITIES ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

PRAY THIS PRAYER IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON, OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

AMEN. IT IS 9:44 AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
