WITH US TONIGHT IS ROCKY GARDNER WITH TEMPLETON DEMOGRAPHICS, AND HE WILL BE PRESENTING THE FOURTH QUARTER DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT.
>> THANK YOU. CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? GREAT. IT'S PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
I THINK IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR, PROBABLY SINCE WE WERE HERE LAST.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S THE SAME STORY.
THIS IS OUR FOURTH QUARTER REPORTS, SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT YOU GUYS FEEL FREE TO STOP ME IF YOU NEED ME TO, OR WE CAN ALWAYS BACKUP, AND MY ADVANCING REPORT.
THANK YOU. CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE CLICKER.
THIS IS DATA THAT WAS COLLECTED AND RESEARCH THROUGH THE FOURTH QUARTER.
KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSING DATA.
WE UPDATE PLANO ON A QUARTERLY BASIS.
WE ALMOST CAN'T REALLY GET STARTED UNTIL WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COVID AND THE ECONOMY.
BACK IN MARCH, WHEN WE ALL TOOK SHELTER, UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, THEY SKYROCKETED UP TO OVER 13%.
THINGS GOT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
THEY DROPPED BACK DOWN, THINGS GOT A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND WE'VE NOW SEEN IT'S DOWN IN [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT NOW THAT UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IS AROUND 5%, WHICH IS THREE YEARS AGO THAT WAS CONSIDERED FULL EMPLOYMENT.
BUT THEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE AS LOW AS 3%, THAT WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.
THESE LAST COUPLE OF PERCENTAGE POINTS ARE GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER, I THINK, TO GET TO.
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENED, THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS START THINKING ABOUT THE HOUSING MARKET [INAUDIBLE] , AND THAT REALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN.
WHAT HAPPENED IS, WE SAW PEOPLE SHELTERING IN PLACE.
[00:05:01]
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS, AND THESE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES.I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND MUCH TIME HERE, THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE MOVEMENT.
AMAZON'S EXPANDED LIKE CRAZY, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, UBER HEADQUARTERS IS BEING MOVED TO DALLAS, EVEN THOUGH THEY TOOK A HIT, THEY THINK THEY'LL HAVE ANOTHER 2500 WORKERS JUST AT THEIR HEADQUARTERS THERE.
WALMART GOT TO A FULFILLMENT CENTER THAT'S IN LANCASTER THAT IT'S GOING TO HAVE ABOUT 1300 JOBS.
THE HOUSING MARKET, THIS IS WHERE THINGS GOT INTERESTING.
WE THOUGHT THE HOUSING MARKET WOULD DROP OFF BY AS MUCH AS 25%.
REALLY WHAT HAPPENED, IT WENT THE OTHER WAY.
IN DALLAS, FORT WORTH TO HOUSING MARKETS HAS ACTUALLY EXCEEDED 2019 NUMBERS BY MORE THAN 20%.
THIS IS A SLIDE HERE THAT SHOWS D TRANSACTIONS.
THESE ARE D TRANSACTIONS FOR JUST THE PLANO ISD.
EXISTING HOME SALES WERE UP TO 5574 UP SLIGHTLY, I CAN TELL YOU THAT NOT VERY MANY DISTRICTS HAD EXISTING HOME SALES GO UP, BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY WANT FOLKS IN THEIR HOME DURING COVID.
IN PLANO, APPARENTLY, WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
YOUR NEW HOME SALES WERE DOWN 478 HOMES, THAT'S NOT COMPLETELY COVID A LOT OF THAT WAS VACANT LOT SUPPLY.
THINGS HAVE JUST SLOWED DOWN, TAKING A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO BUILD HOMES.
THAT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT MIGHT LOOK IN NUMBERS.
THEN YOUR TOP ONES, YOU'RE REO SALES OR FORECLOSURE SALES THOSE HAVE DROPPED OFF QUITE A BIT.
I WORRY THAT, THAT MIGHT BEGIN TO GO UP A LITTLE BIT NEXT YEAR WHEN FORBEARANCE IS PULLED AND WE START SEEING SOME FAMILY STRUGGLED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.
[INAUDIBLE] THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER.
>> CAN YOU DO THE RIGHT ARROW THERE?
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING NOW. THE RIGHT ARROW, IT'S NOT WORKING EITHER.
>> IS THAT THE MOUSE? HEY, WHAT DID YOU DO? [INAUDIBLE] OKAY.
IN THE HOUSING MARKET IN PLANO, WE'VE ALSO BEEN WATCHING NEW HOME PRICES CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE.
IN PLANO, THE AVERAGE NEW HOME IS NOW ALMOST APPROACHING $500,000 OR 56.
EXISTING HOME PRICES HAVE GONE UP NOW NOT QUITE AS MUCH, WE'RE SITTING ABOUT 375,000 WITH THE INCREASE OF ABOUT 127,000.
THOSE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GO UP AND WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT THEY THINK THAT'S GOING TO STABILIZE A LITTLE BIT.
BUT IT'S GOING TO BE ALL BASED ON DEMAND RIGHT NOW.
IN PLANO, WE SAW LAST YEAR'S STARTS DROPPED AT 322 HOMES AND THE CLOSINGS, THEY STOPPED DOWN AT ABOUT 531.
AGAIN, LOTS ARE NOT BEING DELIVERED.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW SOME SLIDES THAT SHOW THAT.
WE KNOW THERE'S SOME HOUSING OUT THERE.
PLANO IS PROBABLY GOING TO SETTLE IN NOW THAT 4 TO 500 HOMES A YEAR, THEN EVERYTHING PROBABLY GET BACK TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN HISTORICALLY, BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF SUPPLY THAT CAN GET YOU TO OVER 400 HOMES A YEAR.
THESE TOP 10 DEVELOPMENTS HERE, BEGINNING WITH UNIVERSITY PLACE THAT CLOSE 76 HOMES.
THESE 10 DEVELOPMENTS CLOSE 378.
TEN DEVELOPMENTS REPRESENT ALMOST ALL YOUR ACTIVITY IN THE LAST YEAR FROM A CLOSING PERSPECTIVE.
NOW, NEW HOME CLOSING IS AN OCCUPIED HOME.
WE KNOW THAT THE OCCUPIED HOMES.
VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS, THESE ARE THE VDL.
THIS IS WHERE THE NEXT ROUND OF GROWTH COMES FROM.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S 10 DEVELOPMENTS WITH JUST 382 VDL.
IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE PACE OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, WE NEED THAT VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S FEWER VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS THAN WHAT YOU BUILT LAST YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING A BIT OF A LAG THAT WE'RE SEEING.
IF WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE LOTS, THERE ARE LOTS OUT THERE, THEY'RE PLOTTED, THEY'RE JUST NOT BEING MOVED TO VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS.
ENVISION OAKS IS ONE THAT WE, THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, THE ENVISION OAKS GROUP WAS PRESENTING A COUPLE OF TIMES AGO AND WE BASICALLY HAVEN'T HEARD VERY MUCH FROM THEM.
THERE'S A MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT TO THAT.
ONE OF THOSE WAS APPROVED AT A ZONING MEETING IN DECEMBER, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME DEMOLISHING OF SOME RETAIL SPACE THERE.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN REAL QUICK, BUT ENVISION OAKS ARE THE TWO OF THE LARGEST FUTURES, BUT WE'RE JUST NOT SEEING MOVEMENT THERE.
>> WHERE'S THAT MAPLE SHADE VILLAGE?
>> MAPLE SHADE VILLAGE, RIGHT DOWN, THERE.
>> THERE'S SOME APARTMENTS RENT RIGHT ALONG HERE AS WELL.
[00:10:04]
IT'S MORE OF A TOWN HOME TYPE PRODUCT OR A GARDEN STYLE HOME.>> IS IT OVER THERE BEHIND THE WALMART? YOU TAKE MAPLE SHADE AND YOU GO BACK.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT PROJECT ACTUALLY.
MAYBE RANDY KNOWS THIS, THAT HUGE PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO BE BEHIND WALMART.
I KNOW THAT THE CONTRACTOR OR THE BUILDER DEVELOPER HAD GONE BACK TO THE CITY FOR SOME CHANGES ON ZONING.
HAS THAT BEEN NIXED? THAT PROJECT? THAT WAS GOING TO BE MASSIVE.
TO THE NORTH AND THEN BEHIND IT.
BILLINGSLEA IS THE ONE WHO'S DOING IT.
>> DAVID, TO MY RECOLLECTION, THAT WAS UNDER DISCUSSION WHEN RICHARD WAS SUPERINTENDENT, HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT KEEPING CAPACITY AT JACKSON BECAUSE OF IT POTENTIALLY COMING ON BOARD.
>> THIS WAS FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THE CONVERSATION AT THE CITY LEVEL WAS THAT THE DEVELOPER WANTED TO CONVERT SOME OF THE STREET LEVEL RETAIL TO MORE RESIDENTIAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY JUST COMPLETELY BACKED OUT OF THE PROJECT, BUT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A MASSIVE, REALLY TIGHTLY BUILT COMMUNITY.
>> WE'LL CERTAINLY GET THAT BACK THROUGH MR. MCDOWELL AND GET SOMETHING TO YOU.
>> IN GENERAL, I WAS SURPRISED THAT A NUMBER OF PREVIOUS APARTMENT POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS WEREN'T ON THIS CHART AND I DIDN'T GO BACK AND DIG IN MY CLOSET TO FIND OUT THE LAST YEAR'S REPORT.
I REMEMBER PROBABLY 4 TO 6,000 UNITS.
>> OF APARTMENTS? WE'RE GETTING TO A SLIDE THAT HAS SOME APARTMENTS ON IT.
THIS IS SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE.
>> BUT WE DO HAVE ONE SLIDE THAT TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING.
>> AM I SEEING THIS RIGHT? THE ENVISION OAK POINT WITH THE MCCALL IS GOING TO BE 778 HOMES AND THEN AT HICKEY WAS 622?
>> YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD IN THEIR LAND PLAN WHEN THEY WERE LAST HERE.
THERE'S BEEN NO MOVEMENT ON THAT THOUGH, BUT IT IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT SPANS BETWEEN THE TWO ATTENDED ZONES.
>> JUST TO CLARIFY, THESE ARE SINGLE FAMILY ON A QUARTER ACRE LOTS OR ARE THESE TOWN HOMES? BECAUSE THESE ARE CALL TOWN HOMES, VILLAS.
>> THE ENVISION OAKS ONES WERE A MIX.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME LESS DENSE PRODUCT, BUT THEN THEY ALSO HAD SOME DENSE PRODUCT AS WELL, SOME GUARDS STYLE PRODUCT.
WE HAVE A REPORT THAT ACTUALLY BREAKS THOSE DOWN.
RANDY, WE COULD SHARE THE ONES CALLED THE EDUCATION REPORT THAT I SHARED WITH YOU.
>> THAT REPORT HAS A BREAKDOWN OF EVERY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE BY CATEGORY, BY PRICE POINT.
I'LL SEND IT TO YOU AGAIN IF YOU DON'T FIND IT.
>> THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD REPORT.
>> TELL ME YOUR POINT. THE ECONOMICS RIGHT NOW IN OUR CITY DEMAND THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A SINGLE LOT DEVELOPMENT MUCH ANYMORE.
IT'S ALL GOING TO BE TOWN HOMES.
IT'S GOING TO BE A MIX LIKE THEY'RE DOING DOWN IN ALMA, IT'S TOWN HOMES, APARTMENTS, CONDOS, TYPE THING.
>> WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE OF A CHOICE THAT THE SELLERS ARE MAKING IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFIT FROM A GIVEN PIECE OF LAND.
>> THAT IS THE LAND VALUES ARE SO HIGH, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY'LL BUY IT AND DEVELOP IT. THAT'S THE MIX.
>> IT HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOLS IN TERMS OF WHETHER THEY ARE MORE DENSE THAN TRADITIONAL HOMES, THERE WILL BE MORE KIDS THERE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT MATTERS TO US.
>> YEAH, TOTALLY AGREE 100 PERCENT.
THAT'S WHY I KEEP FOCUSING ON THINGS LIKE MAPLE SHADE VILLAGE AND WE'LL GET TO IT IN A MINUTE.
BUT THAT WHOLE COIT ROAD CORRIDOR WHERE YOU'VE GOT JACKSON AND ALDRIDGE AND IT IS A MIX OF GO TO WILSON, GO TO FRANKFURT.
IT'S GOING TO GET PACKED DOWN THERE.
WE NEED TO REALLY BE WATCHING THAT SOUTH OF THE BUSH TURNPIKE AREAS IT DEVELOPS BECAUSE THAT UNIVERSITY PLACE, THERE'S PLENTY OF LAND YET TO DEVELOP IN UNIVERSITY PLACE, A PHASE 2 IN THE BACK OF IT.
>> PART OF THE UNIVERSITY PLACES DON'T FOR RICHARDSON AND I ARE STILL WELL.
>> RIGHT. I WENT BACK TO THAT SLIDE THERE.
THE SOUTHERN PART OF THAT, IS IN RICHARDSON, AND THERE IS SOME DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S YIELDING VERY LOW RIGHT NOW, WHICH WAS A SURPRISE TO US BECAUSE THAT IS A SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT, BUT THEY'VE GOT VERY LOW YIELDS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING TOO, AND A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT.
WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE TOLL ROAD IN THAT JACKSON ALL RIGIDITY, THAT MULTIFAMILY STUFF RIGHT NOW WE'RE SEEING SOME REALLY LOW YIELDS,
[00:15:01]
AND ACTUALLY THE YIELDS HAVE BEEN DECLINING SOME TOO.THIS CHART HERE SUMMARIZES THE THREE PREVIOUS CHARTS.
THIS CHART BASICALLY HAS IT BROKE DOWN BY ELEMENTARY ATTENDANCE ZONE WHERE YOU SEE COLORS, WHERE THERE IS THE MOST ACTIVITY.
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO SEE THAT THERE'S A COLUMN CALLED INVENTORY, THAT NUMBER THERE, THAT 199, THAT'S HOMES THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
IT'S 135 PLUS HOMES THAT ARE FINISHED BUT VACANT.
WHAT THAT IS INDICATING THERE'S ANOTHER 60 HOMES THAT HAD BEEN COMPLETED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SOLD AS OF THE END OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.
THAT INVENTORY GIVES US A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT THE NEXT SIX MONTHS IS GOING TO BE FROM A CLOSING PERSPECTIVE FOR PLANAR, WE THINK THAT THOSE 200 TONS OF LIFE LIKELY CLOSE BY JULY, I WOULD SAY.
THEN THIS IS JUST A HOUSING OVERVIEW.
THIS IS ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE TRACKING, SO 29 ACTIVELY DEVELOPING SUBDIVISIONS, 12TH FUTURE SUBDIVISION.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE SHOWN IN YELLOW ON THIS CHART.
WE HAVE GROUNDWORK UNDERWAY ON 250 LOTS AND FIVE SUBDIVISIONS OF WHERE YOU SEE THE RED OUTLINES THAT DOWN THERE IN THE SOUTH WHERE YOU HAD THE UNIVERSITY PLACE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE DEVELOPING MORE LOTS OUT HERE ON THE FAR NORTH EAST, I GUESS YOU'LL SEE.
THEN WE'VE GOT OVER 2400 MULTIFAMILY UNITS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW IN PLANO AND ABOUT 1450 FUTURE UNITS THAT ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGES.
BETWEEN THOSE TWO, RIGHT NOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
THERE'S SOME SIGNS THAT ARE INDICATING THAT MULTI-FAMILY CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO SLOW A LITTLE BIT.
OCCUPANCY RATES ARE STARTING TO DECLINE, AND FRANKLY, PEOPLE ARE BUYING HOMES OUT OF CYCLE.
THE AFFORDABILITY OF HOMES BECAUSE OF LOW INTEREST RATES ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO MOVE OUT OF APARTMENTS, AND SO WE'RE SEEING SOME APARTMENT OCCUPANCIES DROP OFF A LITTLE BIT AND THERE'S JUST GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR SOME OF THAT TO COME BACK.
>> UP THERE BY HUNCH THAT LITTLE YELLOW, THAT'S THE ISD I JUST.
>> I GUESS I NEVER REALIZED THAT.
>> YEAH. THERE'S LITTLE ISD VARIANT. YES, MA'AM.
>> ROCKY ON THE CHART BEFORE WE HAVE NEW HOUSING ACTIVITY BY ELEMENTARY ZONE, THOSE ARE APPEARS TO BE SINGLE-FAMILY AND TOWN HOME VILLAS, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NEXT CHART WHERE IT SHOWS THE POTENTIAL 4,000 APARTMENTS, WHERE IS THE IMPACT ON OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS SHOWN FROM THAT CALCULATION?
>> FROM AN APARTMENT PERSPECTIVE YOU MEAN? WELL THERE'S A SLIDE COMING UP THAT SHOWS YIELDS THAT WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND SOME OF THAT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COLORS HERE, I WILL SAY COLOR GREENISH, I CAN'T SAY THAT'S GREEN AND PURPLE.
THOSE THE FUTURE, THAT'S WHERE SOME OF YOUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS.
WE CAN LOOK AT THE YIELDS FROM THAT AREA THAT'LL BE COMING UP.
WE'RE SEEING YIELDS STAY RIGHT.
THEY'VE DROPPED DOWN ABOUT 0.22 OVERALL FOR MULTIFAMILY AND PLANO, AND THEY'VE BEEN DROPPING FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN PLANO, LOVE IS JUST THE PRODUCT IS BEING BUILT IS A LITTLE MORE HIGH-END PRODUCT AND YIELD A LOT OF STUDENTS.
YOU'RE SINGLE FAMILIES ALSO BEEN DECLINING.
WE BELIEVE JUST LACK OF REGENERATION, PEOPLE ARE NOT MOVING AWAY.
NOW THIS YEAR IT'S STAYED FAIRLY FLAT.
THAT'S BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN STAY IN PLACE.
BUT THE FACT THAT YOU SOLD MORE HOMES THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR IN YOUR EXISTING INVENTORY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THAT NEW HOUSING IS NOT BEING WHEN THE HOMES TURNING OVER, THE KIDS MOVED OUT, SOMEONE MOVES IN.
THEY DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. WE'RE SEEING FEWER FAMILIES MOVE INTO SOME OF THESE HOMES THEY'RE TURNING OVER AS WELL.
>> HEY, ROCKY CAN GO BACK TO THE MAP JUST PRIOR TO THAT TURQUOISE AT RIGHT WHERE IT SAYS JACKSON, THAT TURQUOISE PROPERTY, THAT'S THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
>> AT THE MAPLE SHADE THAT SAID.
>> THAT'S THE ONE THAT IS THE BILLINGSLEA PROJECT.
THAT'S JUST RIGHT BY THE WALMART.
SARAH AND RANDY, LET ME ASK YOU THIS BECAUSE THAT DEVELOPMENT ON COIT ROAD, THE UNIVERSITY PLACE, ALL THE STUFF THAT'S BEING DONE OVER AN LMA IN THE TURNPIKE.
ALL OF THAT IS FOCUSED INTO TWO ELEMENTARY DISTRICTS IN ALDRIDGE AND JACKSON.
IF WE NEED TO MOVE BOUNDARIES BECAUSE OF ALL ITS DEVELOPMENT, WE NEED TO DO IT BEFORE THEY DEVELOP LIKE WE DID WITH ALMA A FEW YEARS AGO.
SIMILARLY, WE CHANGED THE BOUNDARY BEFORE THEY START DEVELOPING THE PROJECTS TO AVOID ANY HEADACHES.
THE 10 YEAR FORECASTS ALL LOOK OKAY.
FOR FRANKFURT, FOR WILSON, FOR JACKSON, FOR ALDRIDGE.
WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE ANY PRE-EMPTIVE CHANGES TO BOUNDARY LINE? S
>> WELL, WE HAVE LAND FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL, IN THE UNIVERSITY PLACE AREA, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO JUMP IN, JUST FILLED ANOTHER SCHOOL BECAUSE I REMEMBER FROM LAST YEAR'S REPORT I HAVEN'T LOOKED OR CAN'T REMEMBER.
[00:20:01]
BUT THE SOUTHERN SCHOOLS TYPICALLY HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM TO GROW, A LOT MORE COMPARED.THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CAPACITY ISSUES THAT WE SEE IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT.
I WONDER IF IT IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB THE TYPES OF NUMBERS WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE GIVEN THE YIELDS THAT ROCKY IS PROVIDING.
>> YEAH, AND THAT'S WHERE HE GOES BACK TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE PROPERTIES BEING MORE DENSE.
TOWN HOMES INSTEAD OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
NOW, MAYBE WE'RE GETTING A YIELD.
IT'S LITTLE LOWER OUT OF THE TOWN HOMES AND YOU DO OUT OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME COMMUNITY.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US AND MAYBE NOW IT'S THE NEXT SLIDE.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON DOWN AND COIT ALL THOSE APARTMENTS JUST EAST OF COIT THAT HAD BEEN BUILT UP IN THE LAST 5 TO 10 YEARS.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR YIELDS ARE THERE, BUT THEY'RE STARTING TO CYCLE INTO THE AGE WHERE THEY'LL START YIELDING MORE.
THAT'S JUST BEARS WATCHING DOWN THERE.
IT'S DEFINITELY THE SECOND AGE THING.
THOSE NEW ONES ARE NOT GOING TO YIELD A LOT OF STUDENTS.
I FEEL LIKE JACKSON ESPECIALLY IS GOING TO BE OKAY WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING DOWN THERE, THAT SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH CAPACITY.
>> BUT TO YOUR POINT, IF WE NEEDED TO PREEMPTIVELY DO ANYTHING THAT TURQUOISE LITTLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU'RE POINTING OUT PRETTY EASILY GO TO WEATHERFORD BECAUSE I LOOKED AT THE CAPACITY AT WEATHERFORD AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE EXCESS.
IF YOU NEEDED TO DO THAT PREEMPTIVELY.
>> YEAH. ACTUALLY JACKSON, OF COURSE, IS ONE OF THE LARGEST CAMPS IS THAT WE HAVE AND SO IT'S GOT A FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OF 828 AND THEN SETTING IT FORBES 64.
ALDRIDGE IS THE ONE THAT AFTER WE HAD THIS MEETING LAST YEAR, WE WENT BACK AND ROCKY AND I LOOKED AT THAT ONE CLOSER AND BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF APARTMENTS, BEING BUILT DOWN IN THAT AREA, HE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THAT AND AT LEAST FOR NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOT ALDRIDGE PEAKING AT ABOUT 604 WITH A FUNCTIONAL AT 615.
WE'LL GO BACK AND PUT US ON THAT AGAIN, DAVID, AND JUST BE SURE THAT FROM UPDATED DATA THAT WE'VE GOT FROM A YEAR AGO AND ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND APARTMENTS THAT IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THAT.
WE'RE WORKING ON ACCOUNTING FOR EVERYTHING.
>> YEAH. LOOK, I MEAN, I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT THE UNIVERSITY PLACE IS A NATURAL TICKET TO GO TO THE JACKSON FRANKFURT SIDE BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM FRANKFURT.
YOU COULD WALK TO FRANKFURT FROM UNIVERSITY PLACE.
IF WE NEED TO DO THAT NOW, I'D RATHER DO BEFORE THEY DEVELOP PHASE 2 AND TAKE OUR LUMPS WITH PHASE ONE.
>> TALLY HAD GIVEN A REPORT NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT THE ONE-TO-ONE DUAL LANGUAGE AT JACKSON AND THE POTENTIAL OF DEVELOPING THAT PROGRAM INTO A TWO-WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.
THAT COULD TAKE UP SOME CAPACITY AT JACKSON IF WE MAKE THAT A BIG PROGRAM THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS WOULD WANT TO GO TO WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE CAN CONTINUE GOALS LIKE THAT WHILE ALSO THINKING ABOUT OUR CAPACITY ISSUES FOR THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT.
THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO COME AND ALSO MY GENERATION, THERE'S A SLIDE THAT'S GOING TO GO TOWARDS THE BIRTH RATES, WE'RE NOT HAVING AS MANY KIDS AS WE USED TO OR NOT THAT I USED TO.
BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE I'VE GOT A LOT OF CLIENTS, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW.
I'M TRYING TO AREAS THAT ARE BUYING HOUSES AND PEOPLE ARE HAVING CHILDREN LATER AND THEY'RE HAVING LESS CHILDREN.
THAT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE A LONG-TERM IMPACT CULTURE.
THAT'S DEFINITELY WAS GOING ON WITH THE YIELDS TO THE YIELD, THE DECREASING YIELDS THAT WE'RE SEEING, WHAT WE'RE CALLING OUT OF CYCLE BUYERS.
THESE ARE BUYERS WHO WOULDN'T NORMALLY BE BUYING A HOME YET BUT BECAUSE INTEREST RATES ARE SO LOW IN THEIR APARTMENT AND THERE'S TWO PEOPLE AND THEY CAN WORK FROM ANYWHERE.
THEY CAN BOTH MOVE TO A NEAREST PLACE TO WORK, SO THEIR MOVEMENT INTO HOMES.
WE'RE SEEING AN OCCUPANCY RATES AND APARTMENTS DROP A LITTLE BIT, AND WE'RE SEEING THE YIELDS IN SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES DECLINE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THOSE FAMILIES ARE MOVED THEM.
THEY DON'T HAVE KIDS YET. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO SEE A BUBBLE IN THREE OR FOUR YEARS OR NOT, WHEN THEY GET HOME AND DECIDE, HEY, LET'S HAVE KIDS.
BUT RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FEELING LIKE WE'RE SEEING IT.
>> WE DO NEED TO WATCH THE RIPPLE EFFECT BECAUSE ANYBODY WE MOVE INTO JACKSON OR FRANKFURT GOES INTO SHIPPED IN AND WEST.
WEST IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT'S ACTUALLY INDICATED IN YELLOW IN TERMS OF POPPING BACK UP AND SHIPPED IN, REMAINS ONE OF OUR LARGEST 9, 10 SCHOOLS.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT THE RIPPLE EFFECT.
CERTAINLY VINES IS OUR LOWEST CAPACITY SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT, I MEAN, I'M AMAZED AT HOW MUCH OF THAT BUILDING IS NOT UTILIZED.
>> YES, MA'AM. AS THE YIELDS DECLINE WEEK, WE CAN LOOK A LITTLE BIT NOW.
THIS IS A 13,690 STUDENTS THAT RESIDE IN APARTMENTS, 61,488 UNITS THAT WE'RE TRACKING, 0.222 YIELD.
NOW KEEP IN MIND THAT'S A TOTAL YIELD, SO ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THAT AS ELEMENTARY.
SOMETIMES WE CAN GET DISTRACTED BY THAT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THE LOWEST YIELDS WE HAVE IN
[00:25:02]
THE DISTRICT ARE ALONG THIS CORRIDOR WHERE A LOT OF THESE NEW APARTMENTS ARE, YOU SEE THE GREEN.THOSE ARE PROBABLY SOME OF THE LOWEST YIELDING AREAS.
WHAT'S BEING BUILT, THERE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO YIELD LOWER THAN WHAT THIS 0.22 IS, IN MOST CASES.
>> BUT I WAS STILL DRAW THE ATTENTION THAT SOUTHWEST QUARTER WHEN YOU'VE GOT YELLOW, WHICH MEANS IT'S ABOVE THE 0.22 TO 0.25 TO 0.5.
JACKSON HAS ONE THAT'S OVER FIVE.
WE CAN'T ONCE AGAIN HIDE BEHIND THE AVERAGES.
WE NEED TO LOOK CAREFULLY AT EACH OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL LOCALES.
NEWCOMER AND LEAVERS ANALYSIS.
THIS IS GETTING INTO PROJECTION NOW A LITTLE BIT INTO, AND THIS HAS TAKEN US SOME RESEARCH IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IMPACTS OF COVID AS BEST WE CAN.
OUR DEFINITION OF A NEWCOMER TO THE DISTRICT IS WE GEOCODE OUR STUDENTS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
WE'VE GOT GEOCODE STUDENTS WITH STUDENT IDS.
A NEWCOMER TO THE DISTRICT IS A STUDENT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ID FOR LAST YEAR, BUT WE HAVE A STUDENT ID FROM THIS YEAR AND THEY'RE NOT A PRE-CARE OR KINDERGARTEN STUDENT.
THERE ARE BASIC FIRST TWO 12 GRADES THAT WE'RE NOT IN THE DISTRICT LAST YEAR.
A LEAVER IS A STUDENT ID THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR, BUT NO LONGER SHOWS UP ON THE ROLE THIS YEAR AND HIS NOT A 12TH GRADED.
THE YEAR LEAVERS JUMPED UP TO 61, 66.
NOW, THIS BEGINS TO TELL THE STORY OF THE COVID DECLINE THAT WE SAW.
IT'S OUR BELIEF IN OUR COUNTY THAT THOSE STUDENTS ARE STILL IN THE DISTRICT LIKELY, THEY'RE JUST NOT ATTENDING PLANO ISD RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL. THEY'RE HOMESCHOOLING.
THEY JUST CHOSE A DIFFERENT WAY FOR EDUCATION.
WE'VE SEEN SOME DECLINES IN THE MULTIFAMILY YIELD, BUT THE SINGLE-FAMILY YIELDS STAYED VERY STABLE, WHICH LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT WE STILL HAVE STUDENTS THERE.
>> HEY, ROCKY, WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR RESULTS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS.
>> YES, WE WERE SEEING DISTRICTS ARE DOWN FIVE TO 6 PERCENT STATEWIDE.
I'M EXPRESSING LARGE DISTRICTS WITH CERTAINLY AS WE ONLY HAD ONE CLIENT THAT ACTUALLY EXCEEDED OUR FORECAST THIS YEAR, THE REST WHERE IT CAME IN UNDER OUR FORECAST, AND THEN IN MOST ALL SAW SIGNIFICANT DECLINES EVEN IN THE MIDST OF GROWING BY SEVEN OR 800 TIMES.
>> THAT INCLUDES THE PROSPERS AND THE PRINCETON. [OVERLAPPING]
>> PRINCETON WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT EXCEEDED OUR FORECAST.
THE ONLY DISTRICT THAT WE WORK WITH, BUT PROSPER FELL UNDER ANYTHING THE NORTHWEST, EAGLE MOUNTAINS, THE FAST-GROWING ONES DIDN'T.
THEY ALL CAME IN, THEY ALL LOST ENROLLMENT, BUT SPECIFICALLY.
I MEAN, IN DENSE ADDING MORE HOMES AND ANYONE IN THAT?
>> WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING TO YOU BECAUSE PRINCETON HAS THE HIGHEST LOW SOCIOECONOMIC PERCENTAGE IN THE COUNTY.
>> PRINCETON HAS 66 PERCENT, THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC.
>> THEY JUST HAVE THAT SWEET SPOT FOR MY HOUSING PERSPECTIVE.
THEIR LOCATION HOMES ARE GROWING LIKE CRAZY OUT THERE.
>> JUST ON THE TOPIC OF LOW SOCIOECONOMIC, GOING BACK TO THE DISTRICT, MULTIFAMILY YIELD, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE YIELDING, THE YELLOW AND THE ORANGE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THOSE ARE AGING APARTMENT UNITS, AND WHERE YOU HAVE THOSE HIGHER DENSITY OF STUDENTS, YOU ALSO HAVE A HIGHER DENSITY OF POVERTY, SO WE REALLY NEED TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THAT.
THAT'S WHEN YOU REALLY START TO HAVE CHALLENGES WITH YOUR SURROUNDING ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IS WHEN WE START TO HAVE MORE NEED AND WE DON'T ANTICIPATE IT.
>> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO JUMP INTO ENROLL PROJECTIONS, NOW THINK THAT THE LEAVERS TELL OTHER STORY THERE.
YOUR ENROLLMENT DECLINED BY ABOUT 2,400 STUDENTS.
WE LOOKED AGAIN IN JANUARY TO SEE IF THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A BUMP AND HAS REMAINED PRETTY FLAT SINCE JANUARY.
SO 1600 OF THOSE STUDENTS, WE KNOW WERE LEAVERS.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE WERE EXPECTING SOME DECLINE BECAUSE YOUR 12TH GRADE CLASS IS 4,100 STUDENTS, AND WHEN YOU'RE LOSING 4,100 AND YOU'RE ONLY BRINGING IN 3,100, JUST ATTRITION ITSELF CAUSES SOME OF THAT TO DROP.
NEXT YEAR WE'RE FORECASTING 612 STUDENTS OF GROWTH.
IT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLING A BOUNCE BACK, NOW I CAN I CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE THAT THIS IS MY FIRST PANDEMIC THAT I'VE EVER FORECASTED ENROLLMENT THROUGH.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN AS MUCH AS WE CAN FIGURE, GET TALKED TO DIFFERENT GROUPS.
IT MAY KEEP PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN LEVEL STATEWIDE.
THAT WAS WHERE WE SAW THE MAJORITY OF THE DROP.
THE STATE LOST, I THINK THEY SAID A 156,000 STUDENTS, ENROLLMENT WAS DOWN STATEWIDE.
REALLY, THAT'S LIKE 230,000 STUDENTS BECAUSE THE STATE USUALLY ADDS ABOUT 80,000 STUDENTS EACH YEAR.
WE DID NOT ONLY DID WE NOT ADD, WE DROPPED A 156,000 PREDOMINANTLY AT THE PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN LEVELS.
AGAIN, THAT'S A LARGE SHARE OF IT.
PLANO IS JUST LIKE ANY DISTRICT OF THIS SIZE, THEIR GROWTH FOR LONG-TERM IS GOING TO BE PREDICATED ON KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS COMING BACK WITH LOWER BIRTH RATES AND THEN LOWER CAPTURE RATE,
[00:30:01]
YOU'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE THOSE KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS, AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF OPTIONS WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS NOW, WE HAVE YOUR KINDERGARTEN CLASS, WE HOPE WILL BOUNCE BACK TO 3,365.WE DON'T HAVE YOU GETTING BACK TO A 3,400 STUDENTS KINDERGARTEN CLASS FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.
AGAIN, IF WE GET BACK TO A 3500 STUDENTS KINDERGARTEN CLASS, THAT CAN HAVE SOME REALLY DYNAMIC IMPACT LONG-TERM AT YOUR DISTRICT.
RIGHT NOW WE THINK THAT NEXT YEAR WE'LL SEE A GROWTH, WE THINK YOU'LL PICK THINGS BACK UP JUST BECAUSE OF THE BOUNCE BACK, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE JUST A CONSISTENT TREND, RIGHT AROUND 49,000 STUDENTS, AND AGAIN, REALLY IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HOLDING ON TO STUDENTS, IS JUST THE SIZE OF THESE CLASSES WHERE AT RIGHT NOW WE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT AND AS LONG AS THAT'S HAPPENING, YOU'RE NOT BUILDING ENOUGH HOMES TO MAKE UP FOR THAT ANYMORE.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY DISTRICTS THAT IS GOING THROUGH THIS AS WELL.
THERE'S OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE JUST ENTERING THAT, A SITUATION VERY SIMILAR TO THAT.
THESE NEXT CHARTS THERE'S, YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH SOME OF THE CAMPS AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AVERAGE WITH THEIR PROGRAM CAPACITY OF 724 FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OF 615.
THAT'S ONE THAT COULD GET TIGHT SHOULD THE YIELDS THEY SHIFT OR SHOULD THEY BEGIN TO INCREASE.
I DO THINK THAT YOU'LL BE FINE.
WE'RE TALKING TO JACKSON, SORRY.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY THERE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE SEEING THAT MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY AREA, WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.
WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
WE'RE SEEING A BIG JUMP NEXT YEAR, 935 STUDENTS JUMP IN ELEMENTARY AGAIN, THAT'S PREDOMINANTLY A BOUNCE-BACK OF YOUR PRE-K KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE.
I THINK THERE'S A CHANCE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE QUITE A FEW SIX-YEAR-OLD KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS.
I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT WE BELIEVE THERE'S PARENTS THAT MAY JUST DECIDE TO HOLD THEIR STUDENT BACK, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE.
I GUESS YOUR KINDERGARTEN ROUNDUP MIGHT PICK SOME OF THAT UP, BUT THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BASE THAT ON, IT'S JUST MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU SEE WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE SOME INTERESTING HIGH-SCHOOL FOOTBALL IN ABOUT 15 YEARS.
THEY USED TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN HOCKEY A LOT, BUT HOCKEY PARENTS UP IN CANADA THEY'D HOLD THEM BACK [OVERLAPPING].
>> THAT'S DECEMBER, JANUARY CUT OFF, YEAH.
>> YEAH. AGAIN, YEAH THEN WE'D LOOK THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL CANVAS, RENNER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S IN YELLOW THERE, THAT IT'S GOING TO BE TIGHT GOING FORWARD, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL.
THIS DATA, THE HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT WE THINK WE WILL LIKELY DROP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
BUT AGAIN IT'S IN ENTERING EXTINCT CLASS SIZES IS WHAT WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THEM.
WE THINK YOU'LL BE 50,800 STUDENTS NEXT YEAR WHEN SCHOOL STARTS.
>> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR THE CABINET, ACTUALLY ON THE ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE HOVERING MORE AROUND THE LOW 400S WHEN OUR CAPACITY IS 600, ARE WE TURNING DOWN KIDS WHO ARE APPLYING FOR THE ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL?
>> IT IS A LOTTERY SYSTEM, SO WE DON'T TAKE EVERYONE WHO APPLIES.
I CAN GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND THE CUTOFF AND HOW THAT DECISION IS MADE.
I'M GLAD TO PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S ROOM, BUT WE'RE NOT FILLING THE ROOM.
ARE THERE MORE APPLICATIONS GOING INTO THE LOTTERY THAN WE'RE ACTUALLY SELECTING?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARTIFICIALLY KEEP THAT ONE LOW IF KIDS WANT TO GO THERE AND WE HAVE ROOM.
>> TAMMY, LET ME ALSO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THEM AND JUST SEE HOW WE COMPUTED THAT CAPACITY BECAUSE WHAT THAT MAY BE IS WE MAY BE TAKING A SECONDARY NUMBER AND I'M JUST SPECULATING HERE TIMES THE NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS, BUT IN AN ACADEMY SETTING, MAYBE WE NEVER PLANNED ON HAVING 28 STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM.
LET ME REVISIT HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY COMPUTING THAT CAPACITY.
>> ACTUALLY YEARS AGO, [INAUDIBLE] , ORIGINAL ESTIMATES, IT WOULD HOLD 1,000 KIDS.
>> YEAH, WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE AND I AGREE WITH TAMMY THAT I DON'T WANT US TO TURN AWAY KIDS IF WE HAVE THE CAPACITY AND THE ABILITY.
IF THEY WANT TO GO TO THAT CAMPUS AND WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SERVE THOSE KIDS AT THAT CAMPUS, WE SHOULDN'T BE TURNING THEM AWAY.
>> AGAIN, JUST NEW HOME CLOSINGS OUTPACED STARTS THIS YEAR.
I THINK THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF LAG AND BACON DEVELOP LOSS, BUT THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR CONTINUED GROWTH IN PLANO ISD GROUNDWATER UNDERWAY ON 250 LOTS.
I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO WATCH THIS WHEN THEY START DELIVERING THESE LAWS, BECAUSE IF YOU SELL ON A LOT OF THOSE CHARTS THAT THERE WERE VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS, BUT THEY HAD NO QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL STARTS AND SO THEY'RE NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LOTS.
THEY HAVE 2,400 MULTIFAMILY UNITS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
[00:35:02]
WE WOULD DEFINITELY WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON BOTH THOSE YIELDS TO SEE IF THEY'D BEGIN TO CHANGE ANYTHING.WE'LL ALSO BE WATCHING THE OTHER COMPLEXES.
IT'S A VERY MOBILE POPULATION THAT'S IN THE MULTIFAMILY AND THEY ARE SOMETIMES CHICKENED OUT THERE CHASING A LITTLE BIT, SO THERE IS SOME MOVEMENT THERE.
WE THINK WE ENROLL, A LITTLE OVER 49,400 STUDENTS FOR 25, 26 SCHOOL YEAR AND BE RIGHT AROUND 49, 000 BY 2030, 31.
OFTEN, IF YOU REMEMBER, IF YOU'VE GOT A COPY OF THE THIRD-QUARTER REPORT, REMEMBER, THAT WE SHARED A HIGH SCENARIO TO WHERE IF YOUR KINDERGARTEN CAN GET BACK TO 3,500, GET STARTED PUSHING UP INTO 3,500 AND A REGULAR BASIS, YOU'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO OVER 50, 000 WITHIN FIVE YEARS.
IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW MUCH THOSE LARGER CLASS SIZES CAN HELP.
ONE THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS SUMMER WHICH MIGHT BE PUSHED BACK SEPTEMBER NOW DELIVERY US CENSUS DATA.
BUT NOW THAT WE'VE GOT CENSUS DATA AT THE BLOCK LEVEL, WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT WHAT'S CONSIDERED THE 5-18 POPULATION AT THE CENSUS BLOCK LEVEL, WE GEOCODE YOUR STUDENTS TO THAT SAME AREA, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE YOUR CAPTURE RATE.
WE CAN THEN BEGIN TO GET AN IDEA, WHERE ARE YOU MIGHT GET MARKET TO GET STUDENTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WELL.
THAT'S SOME STUFF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS SUMMER.
>> I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A REPORT BACK FOR US.
>> [INAUDIBLE] LOOKING AT THAT THIS SUMMER TO SAY WE HAVEN'T DEVELOPED WITH THAT DELIVERABLE LOOK LIKE YET, BUT WE'RE WANTING TO SEE THAT THOSE COMPARISONS ON WHAT THAT FIVE-DAY POPULATION LOOKS LIKE IN COMPARISON TO YOUR GEOCODE.
>> ROCKY, YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE ENTIRE TEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD AND WE PEPPER YOU EVERY SINGLE TIME.
WE HAVE TO BE YOUR FAVORITE DISTRICT, RIGHT?
>> YEAH. [LAUGHTER] I GUARANTEE IT.
>> I THINK THAT COULD BE REALLY INTERESTING INFORMATION BECAUSE WE CAN SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE HUFFMAN NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO STILL LIVE THERE BUT WHO HAVE NOT SELECTED TO COME BACK TO PISD.
I THINK REALLY HELP US LOOK AT OUR SCHOOLS IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
ARE WE PROVIDING THE PRODUCT IN ALL THESE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE APPEALING TO OUR FAMILIES? ARE THEY HAVING TO SEEK OTHER RESOURCES?
>> I THINK IT WAS [INAUDIBLE] ACTUALLY OR I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FORMULA THEY USE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE GOING TO COME INTO THE PRECAST.
IT WAS LIKE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY HELP WITH THAT.
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? THERE WAS A FORMULA, THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE PART OF NOT JUST HEAD-START, BUT OUR PRE-K PROGRAMS AT DIFFERENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND I THINK IT WAS BASED ON SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS.
>> YES. BASICALLY, IT'S JUST THE TARGET GOAL FOR ENROLLMENT OF JUST TRYING TO GET TO 70 PERCENT OF WHAT WE THINK ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES THAT HAVE PRE-K STUDENTS.
OF COURSE THIS YEAR WE'RE DOWN THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED THAT I THINK THE LAST TIME SHE REPORTED THAT OUT, I THINK WE WERE LIKE 68 PERCENT.
>> THIS DATA COULD PROBABLY BE HELPFUL, BUT IF WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO SEPTEMBER, WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE IT AS MUCH THIS COMING YEAR.
>> I THINK IT'LL BE REALLY GOOD NEXT YEAR.
I THINK WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO GET NEW GEOCODER NEXT SEPTEMBER BECAUSE THIS GEOCODE IS COVID TAINTED.
IT'LL BE A REAL. NEXT YEAR'S GEOCODER WILL BE A STRONGER REFLECTION OF WHAT WILL BE COMPARISON THROUGH.
>> [INAUDIBLE] WE ALSO GET THE INFORMATION FOR UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD.
>> WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL USE THE CENSUS DATA.
THAT'S THE ONLY TIME IT'S AT THE BLOCK LEVEL.
THEY USE THAT FOR REDISTRICTING TOO.
THEY'LL HAVE IT AT EACH AGE RANGE, AND I THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE A 0-5 ALTOGETHER.
WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOUR FUTURE ANALYSIS HERE.
>> ROCKY, WHAT'S THE TIMING ON THAT? I'M SORRY, YOU SAID THIS SUMMER?
>> WELL, BECAUSE USUALLY COMES OUT IN MARCH, EVERYTHING GOT PUSHED BACK.
I READ AN EMAIL LAST WEEK THAT THEY HAVE THIS DATA CALLED THE PL 94.
THAT DATA THAT'S USED FOR REDISTRICTING FOR BOARD MEMBER REDISTRICTING, AND PLACE LIKE THAT.
WE WERE TOLD LAST WEEK THAT DATA WAS NOT GOING TO RELEASE NOW TILL SEPTEMBER.
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT IN MARCH.
THEY'VE RELEASED GEOGRAPHY, SO I GOT THE CENSUS BLOCK GEOGRAPHIES.
WE'VE GOT ALL THAT. WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA THAT GOES INTO IT.
>> SARAH, WHEREVER MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS GOING IS, I DON'T THINK THAT DATA IS GOING TO BE IN SOON ENOUGH FOR US TO REALLY TARGET ANY RECRUITMENT OR MARKETING OR TRY AND GET SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE UNDER-DELIVERING TO SCHOOLS.
BUT THE BIG PICTURE IS THAT WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE KIDS WHO DIDN'T START KINDERGARTEN THIS YEAR OR PRE-K THIS YEAR, WHO COULD HAVE, AND SO WE NEED TO REALLY PUSH TO CAPTURE THOSE KIDS BECAUSE WE WANT THEM IN PLANO AND NOT AT A CHARTER SCHOOL OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
[00:40:02]
>> I'M SORRY. I KNOW THE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE MARKETING PLAN FOR PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN, AND KATRINA IS NODDING HER HEAD SO I CAN SEE HERE FROM HER BACK.
BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> I WAS JUST TEXTING MY PRE-K FOLKS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO PROVIDE A BOARD UPDATE.
ALL THAT WERE ALL THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO THIS YEAR ON THE MARKETING AND PROMOTION.
NOW WE'RE USING COMMUNICATIONS A LOT MORE AND PUTTING UP SIGNS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND JUST STEPPING MORE THAN WE'VE EVER DONE BEFORE, TRYING TO LOCATE PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS.
I WILL PROVIDE THOSE DETAILS FOR YOU IN A BOARD UPDATE.
>> I THINK WE CAN ALSO GET SOME POSTCARDS OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT AND TAKE IT TO ALL OF THE DAY-CARES IN THE AREA SO THAT THEY JUST HAVE THE FACTS OF WHAT THE DISTRICT PROVIDES STUDENTS.
A LOT OF THESE MOMS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, OR MOMS AND DADS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEY MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO GO TO A DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE METHOD, BUT WHEN YOU TELL THEM ALL OF THE SERVICES THAT THEIR CHILDREN WILL RECEIVE AND THE OPPORTUNITIES, THE CHOICES IN EDUCATION, THE BAND, THE CHOIR, THE ORCHESTRA, THE SPORTS, AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS, IF A NEW PARENT KNOWS THAT IS RIGHT THERE IN THEIR GRASP, I THINK A PIECE OF PAPER TO THE CHILDCARE FACILITIES IN PLANO WOULD BE A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT IN PAPER.
>> WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT AND THEN ALSO JUST WANT TO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH EARLY MATTERS THAT HELP SUPPORT ALL THE MARKETING EFFORTS IN REACHING OUT TO FAMILIES.
THIS WILL BE KATRINA, IS THAT OUR SECOND OR THIRD YEAR WITH EARLY MATTERS? THIRD. THAT ALSO SUPPORTS ALL OF THESE EFFORTS, BUT WE CAN BRING BACK EITHER INFORMATION OR PUT IT INTO BOARD UPDATE.
>> WE ALSO WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES.
OKAY. WE NEED TO BECAUSE THOSE KIDS NEED US MORE THAN EVER.
>> THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THE BOARD WILL NOW HEAR A 2021, 2022 PRELIMINARY BUDGET REPORT MR. MIGHAN.
THANK YOU, PRESIDENT RICHARDS.
WE DO HAVE A BOARD REPORT UPDATE FOR YOU.
I'LL TELL YOU PROBABLY NOBODY GOT A TOUGHER JOB RIGHT NOW THEN THE DEMOGRAPHERS DO.
THEY'RE USED TO WORKING OFF TREND DATA AND ALL THESE ANALYSIS.
IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THAT'S OUT THE WINDOW.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF THAT ALSO CARRIES OVER INTO OUR BUDGET SINCE THE BIGGEST DRIVER IN OUR BUDGET IS OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND ALSO THE BIGGEST DRIVER IN OUR STAFFING IS STUDENT ENROLLMENT.
WE'RE FACING SOME OF THE SAME CHALLENGES THAT THE ROCKET TEMPLETON DEMOGRAPHICS ARE FACING AS WELL.
WE DO HOPE THAT WE HAVE A BIG RESURGENCE OF STUDENTS COMING BACK AND WE GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE PRE COVID BUT WE'RE NOT QUITE THAT OPTIMISTIC IN OUR NUMBERS AT THIS POINT.
I'LL BE SHARING SOME OF THOSE WITH YOU HERE.
AS FAR AS TIMELINE WE'RE INTO FEBRUARY AND SO I'VE GOT SOME ASSUMPTIONS AND PRELIMINARY BUDGET ESTIMATES.
WE WERE WORKING ON THIS TODAY BUT ON THE PREVIEW AND SOME OF THE TREND DATA WE MAY BE CHANGING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE NOT SEEING 20 ENDING THE WAY IT DID WITH 2021 THE WAY IT IS.
SOME OF THE COMPARISON DATA WITH OTHER SCHOOLS ISN'T NEAREST MEANINGFUL IS WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF WE WERE ALL FULLY OPERATIONAL.
WE ARE WORKING ON SOME OTHER ANALYSIS THAT WE CAN BRING THEM UP THE MORE MEANINGFUL THERE.
AS FAR AS OUR BUDGET TIMELINE, EVERYONE IS WELL UNDERWAY.
THE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS WERE DUE BACK ON JANUARY 29TH, AND WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE WE'LL TALK ABOUT ZERO-BASED BUDGET.
AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE ZERO-BASED BUDGET IN ALL DEPARTMENTS.
AGAIN, DR. WILLIAMS HAS BEEN IN EVERY ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS, ME IN THE FINANCE AND BUDGET STAFF, THEN ALSO THE CABINET LEVEL PERSON WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY ACCOUNT NUMBER THAT'S NOT A SALARY ACCOUNT NUMBER.
THEY'LL HAVE TO PROVIDE DETAIL.
THE PEOPLE SETTING BEHIND YOU BACK THERE WE'LL SAY, [LAUGHTER] THEY'RE ASKING FOR DETAIL ON EVERY STINK AND ACCOUNT NUMBER [LAUGHTER].
[00:45:05]
WE'RE CONTINUING THAT THEY'RE WORKING EXTREMELY HARD WITH THEIR DEPARTMENTS.THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE'RE NOT ASKING.
HOW ARE YOU ARRIVING AT THAT? CAN YOU LOOK AT THESE OTHER OPTIONS? SORRY, BUT THEY'RE GETTING GRILLED FOR 3 AND 4 HOUR LONG MEETINGS AS THEY MEET WITH US BUT THEY ARE BENEFICIAL.
THEY DEFINITELY HELP OUR UNDERSTANDING AND WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR ANY EFFICIENCIES THAT WE CAN FIND THERE.
CAMPUSES, THEIR BUDGETS ARE DOING THIS WEEK.
THEY'D BEEN WORKING HARD ON THEIR BUDGETS.
OF COURSE, PRESSURE ON CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS.
THAT'S HERE WHEN YOU LOOK AT CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS.
THERE ARE SPECIAL POPULATIONS OR BASED ON THEIR STUDENT NUMBERS FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR AND THOSE ARE BASED ON FALL PINS.
THEN AS FAR AS THEY'RE BASED ON ENROLLMENT, IN THE MAJORITY OF THEY'RE STAFFING, THAT'S BASED ON ROCKET TEMPLETON PROJECTIONS FOR THE COMING YEAR.
STAFFING ANALYSIS, WE'RE WORKING HARD ON TRYING TO TIE OUR STAFFING TO WHAT WE THINK OUR ENROLLMENTS GOING TO BE, WHICH IS WHAT OUR REVENUE BUDGET IS BASED ON AND TRYING TO MAKE ALL THREE OF THOSE THINGS LINK UP.
IT'S NO SECRET, WE'RE DOWN 2/3 JUST OVER 2000 STUDENTS UNDER PROJECTION.
YOU CAN SEE BY ROCKIES NUMBERS WHERE WE'RE NORMALLY DECLINING 400-500 STUDENTS A YEAR 300-500, WHATEVER THE YEAR IS.
HE'S GOT US REBOUNDING BACK A LITTLE OVER 600 STUDENTS.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE ISSUE GOING INTO NEXT YEAR THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE LARGER SENIOR CLASS GOING OUT AS SMALLER KINDERGARTEN COMING IN.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A HIT THERE PROBABLY 400 OR 500 OR 600 STUDENTS AND THEN HE'S THINKING WE'LL GROW ABOUT 1200 STUDENTS BASED ON THE ONES THAT ARE OUT AND THE NET OF THAT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT A POSITIVE 600.
WE'RE USING HIS NUMBERS RIGHT NOW ON CAMPUS STAFFING, THAT'S WHAT BETH AND HER TEAM ARE WORKING ON WITH THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AS WELL AND SO WE'RE USING THOSE TO STAFF.
WE'VE GOT A CORRELATE THOSE TWO.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE OUR STAFFING, THAT'S 85 PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET BE REFLECTIVE OF WHAT ENROLLMENT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] THAT DROPS OUR FUNDING.
THAT'S NO BIG REVELATION THERE.
WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WORKS BUT WE'VE GOT TO USE THE SAME NUMBERS FOR REVENUE AND IN STAFFING AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AT THIS POINT.
>> RANDY ON THIS POINT IN TERMS OF ALLOCATIONS AND STAFFING, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS BECAUSE OF THE YEAR WE'RE HAVING THIS YEAR THAT IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SURGE SOMEWHERE ON A PARTICULAR CAMPUS.
MAYBE THAT'S UNFOUNDED CONCERN ON MY PART, BUT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT EITHER CONTINGENCIES OR YOU'VE GOT THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS THAT BE THE BUDGET MBIA ALLOCATIONS.
WATCH IT HAPPENS AND ONCE WE GET BACK TO AUGUST AND WE FIND OUT THAT THERE'S A 100 MORE KIDS ON THE CAMPUS THAN WE ANTICIPATE.
>> FIRST I WOULD SAY WE WOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT BALANCING THAT IF WE'VE GOT SOME CAMPUS AS THEY CAME IN UNDER AND WE'VE GOT EXTRA STAFF WOULD LOOK IS SHIFTING.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE BECAUSE IF OVERALL OUR STUDENT NUMBERS ARE UP, THAT MEANS OUR REVENUE ESTIMATES ARE LOW TOO.
WE CAN DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT, INCREASE BOTH SIDES AND WE CAN DEFINITELY GO HIRE WHO WE NEED TO.
BETH COULD TALK TO THIS OR DR. WILLIAMS COULD BETTER THAN ME.
BUT NORMALLY, IT'S VERY COMPETITIVE ON HIRING TEACHERS.
I GUESS IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE IN THIS MARKET BUT WITH EVERYONE BEING DOWN FOUR PERCENT TO SIX PERCENT.
ALMOST EVERYONE IS OVERSTAFFED FOR THE STUDENTS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.
GOING INTO NEXT YEAR, WE'RE NOT SEEING QUITE AS MUCH COMPETITION EXCEPT IN SOME PARTICULAR AREAS, SPECIAL ED, BILINGUAL, WHATEVER THOSE ARE.
BUT ON CLASSROOM TEACHERS IT'S EVERYBODY'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE TRYING TO HIRE QUITE AS EARLY AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM SOME OF OUR PEERS.
>> I GUESS WITH CAMPUS BALANCING THAT REALLY THE BIG ISSUE WOULD BE IF WE HAD A 1000 MORE KIDS OR 2000 MORE KIDS THAN WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AS OPPOSED TO A CAMPUS.
EVEN THAT, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GET FUNDING FOR THAT.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK IN TERMS OF OUR TYPICAL OR NATURAL ANNUAL TURNOVER FOR STAFF, DO YOU THINK THAT AMOUNT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE REDUCTION THAT WE WOULD EXPECT FOR THE REDUCTION IN STUDENTS?
>> YEAH. I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY THROUGH ATTRITION AND I DON'T KNOW IF PERCENTAGE IS FAIRLY HIGH.
WITH COVID, OUR RETIREES MIGHT EVEN BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THEY ARE.
I THINK WE SAW SOME OF THAT THIS PAST YEAR.
WE'LL PROBABLY SEE THAT AGAIN.
BUT YOU WOULD DEFINITELY THINK THAT THE PERCENTAGE WE'RE LOOKING AT IS FAR AS REDUCED STUDENTS THAT WE COULD EASILY COVER THAT THROUGH ATTRITION.
[00:50:01]
>> ABSOLUTELY. WHEN WE HAVE CALCULATED THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS WE NEED FOR NEXT YEAR AND WHAT THAT NORMAL TURNOVER IS, WE'RE FINE.
IT'S SHIFTING OF PEOPLE AROUND.
BUT WE AT THIS POINT ANNUALLY, WE HIRE MORE TEACHERS INTO THE ORGANIZATION THAN WHAT WE NEED TO DECREASE THIS YEAR.
I'M VERY CONFIDENT AND IT'LL ALL BE HANDLED THROUGH ATTRITION.
I THINK IT'LL ALL BE HANDLED THROUGH ATTRITION BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
>> OKAY, SO AS ROCKY'S JOB'S A LITTLE CHALLENGING, SO IS OURS, AND THERE'S JUST A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
I ACTUALLY GOT A CRYSTAL BALL FOR CHRISTMAS AND IT'S SITTING ON MY DESK.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW TO USE IT BUT I'M THINKING IT'S GOING TO HELP ME OUT SOME THIS YEAR.
WE'VE JUST GOT A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.
WE'VE GOT THE HOLD HARMLESS QUESTIONS THAT ARE STILL OUT THERE.
WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL FOR THAT FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER.
WE'RE PROBABLY NOT OPTIMISTIC FOR THAT, FOR THE COMING, FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
THE WHOLE ENROLLMENT, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR KINDERGARTEN AND PRE-K AS WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT.
ARE WE GOING TO GET A BIG RESURGENCE THERE AND OF COURSE, ALL THAT IMPACT ON ADA.
THERE'S A LEGISLATIVE SESSION GOING ON, EVEN THOUGH IT'S MOVING THE SLOWEST I'VE EVER SEEN GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE SOME THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THAT LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
ONE OF THOSE, IS OVER ON THE RIGHT THERE, ON THE STIMULUS FUNDS.
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.
ALSO, WHAT OUR PROPERTY VALUE'S GOING TO DO.
WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE FAIRLY FLAT AND THOSE DON'T HAVE THE IMPACT THAT THEY HAD IN THE PAST, BUT ALSO THERE'S JUST A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.
WHAT ADDITIONAL PPE COST ARE WE GOING TO HAVE, SO IT'S PROBABLY, PHIL, THE LEAST PREPARED TO TRY TO PROJECT THIS COMING BUDGET THAT I EVER HAVE, JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE UNKNOWNS THAT ARE GOING ON.
WHEN WE LOOK AT PROJECTIONS, JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, THAT WE DID SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH SOME OTHER INFORMATION TO DISTRICT LEADERSHIP, AND THEN ALSO TO ALL OF OUR PRINCIPLES A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
IN 1920, WE WERE 52,646 STUDENTS.
THE DEMOGRAPHER PROJECTED AT 52,274, SO DOWN ABOUT THAT 400 THAT WE'D BEEN DECLINING FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
WE DID STAFF ON THAT, WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY OF OUR KIDS WERE COMING BACK AS YOU KNOW.
SO WE WENT AHEAD AND STAFFED, BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHERS PROJECTION.
AT THE END OF THE FIRST SEMESTER, WE WERE 50,206 AND WE ENDED, I'M SORRY, THE END OF THE FIRST SEMESTER.
WE'VE STARTED LOWER THAN THAT AND WE REBOUNDED TO ABOUT 50,206.
IF WE TAKE ROCKY'S PROJECTION ON PROJECTED ENROLLMENT THAT HE JUST PRESENTED, IT'S ABOUT 50,700 STUDENTS.
WHEN YOU TAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE'VE STAFFED ON THIS YEAR, WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE 52,274 STUDENTS, AND WHAT WE'RE STAFFING FOR, FOR NEXT YEAR AT THIS POINT, IF 50,700 STUDENTS, THAT'S A REDUCTION OF 1,574 STUDENTS OR ABOUT THREE PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL STUDENTS.
YOU'RE TALKING SIGNIFICANT STAFF WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A REDUCTION OF THREE PERCENT OF YOUR STUDENTS.
JUST TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU TOOK THREE LARGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, IF YOU TOOK, AND WE'RE NOT ELIMINATING THESE, BUT IF YOU ELIMINATED ANDREWS [INAUDIBLE] AND BRINKER, IF YOU LOST ALL THE STUDENTS IN ALL THREE OF THOSE, THAT WOULD BE A NUMBER LESS THAN THAT NUMBER.
SO, WHEN YOU THINK OF THE STAFF IT TAKES TO OPERATE THREE WHOLE LARGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, IF YOU TAKE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS, IF YOU TAKE KENDRICK AND HAGGARD, YOU'RE AT ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
IF YOU TOOK ALL OF SHIPTON, THAT'D BE ABOUT 200 SHORT OF THAT NUMBER, IF YOU DID ANY ONE OF THOSE THREE SCENARIOS.
I THINK THAT HELPED THE PRINCIPLES AND SOME OF THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP GO; WOW, NOW WE UNDERSTAND WHAT 1,500 STUDENTS MEANS.
WHEN YOU PUT THAT INTO DOLLARS, THAT EQUATES TO, I PUT TEN TO 15 MILLION ON HERE.
IT'S ACTUALLY CLOSER TO THE 15 MILLION BUT WHEN YOU GO DOWN 1500 STUDENTS, YOU GO DOWN ABOUT $15 MILLION IN REVENUE.
SO, YOU DO HAVE TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT STAFFING ADJUSTMENTS TO TRY TO EQUATE FOR THAT LOSS IN REVENUE.
I THINK THAT'S HELPED US AS OUR GAUGE, AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT YEAR AND THE AMOUNT OF STAFF THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
>> SO RANDY, JUST REAL QUICK ON THAT 1500 STUDENTS.
HOW DOWN ARE WE IN KINDERGARTEN THIS YEAR RELATIVE TO PRIOR YEARS, AND IF WE GET ALL OF THOSE KIDS WHO SKIPPED KINDERGARTEN THIS YEAR BACK NEXT YEAR,
[00:55:01]
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO YOUR PROJECTIONS?>> SO, I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME [OVERLAPPING] I MEAN IF WE'RE DOWN 500 STUDENTS LET'S SAY IN JUST KINDERGARTEN, NOW WE'VE GOT TO GET THEM BACK AS FIRST GRADERS, AND WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT COMES IN BEHIND THEM AS KINDERGARTEN.
>> NO, I'M SAYING THEY COME IN AS KINDERGARTEN.
IF THESE ARE KIDS WHO JUST SKIPPED KINDERGARTEN THIS YEAR HELD BACK, PARENTS [OVERLAPPING] THAT HELD THEIR KID BACK BECAUSE OF COVID, AND THEY'RE GOING TO START IN KINDERGARTEN NEXT YEAR, WE THINK THAT'S ABOUT A 500 KID DIFFERENCE?
>> THAT'S MY GUESS [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. YES.
>> SO, RANDY, IN THAT 15 MILLION ESTIMATE, HOW MUCH OF THAT INCLUDES THE WEIGHTS THAT WOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DIFFERENT STUDENT SERVICES [OVERLAPPING]
>> WHEN WE GET UP TO THE EIGHT, $9,000 PER STUDENT, THAT'S TAKING A DISTRICT AVERAGE ON WHAT IS ONE STUDENT WORTH THE AVERAGE DISTRICT WIDE.
THAT IS TAKING SOME OF THOSE ADDITIONAL WAYS, THE AVERAGE OF THOSE.
>> YES. AGAIN, WE'RE FAIRLY EARLY IN THE PROCESS, WE'RE RUNNING THREE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS RIGHT NOW.
WHAT WE'VE DONE ON THOSE IS BASICALLY, AND THIS GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET THERE, BUT IN 2020, 2021 DATA, WE'RE DOWN SO LOW IT'S HARD TO EVEN GO OFF OF IT.
ONE IS WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHERS' PROJECTING AND TRYING TO CONVERT THAT TO ADA, BUT THEN WE RAN THREE MODELS HERE.
SO, IF WE GO BACK TO 1920, WE KNEW WHAT OUR ADA WAS AND IF WE DECLINE THAT 800 STUDENTS, WHICH IS VERY OPTIMISTIC AND SAY; WELL, IF WE WOULD HAVE GONE DOWN 400 THIS YEAR AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE GONE DOWN ANOTHER 400 NEXT YEAR LIKE WE WERE TRENDING, BASICALLY COVID'S OVER AND WE'RE BACK TO WHERE WE THINK WE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT COVID EVER HAPPENING, THEN THAT WOULD BE ABOUT THE FIRST COLUMN.
THE NEXT COLUMN WOULD BE GOING DOWN THE 400 PLUS ABOUT 800 STUDENTS ARE DOWN 1200 ADA, AND THE THIRD COLUMN, WHICH IS REALLY CLOSER TO WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHER'S PREDICTING, IS DOWN 1600 ADA OVER THAT TWO-YEAR PERIOD.
JUST TRYING TO GET A RANGE AT THIS POINT, PROBABLY WAY TOO GOOD AT BEST-CASE, AND THEN PROBABLY SOMEWHAT THE WORST-CASE IS PROBABLY MORE REALISTIC FOR WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHER THINKS.
THE RANGE BETWEEN THOSE THREE SCENARIOS, IF YOU LOOK BEST TO WORST, IT'S ABOUT $7 MILLION DOLLARS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE DIFFERENCE IN THOSE 800 ADA BETWEEN SCENARIO ONE AND SCENARIO THREE, EQUATES TO ABOUT $7 MILLION DOLLARS.
YOU CAN SEE THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE ON STAFFING IN TRYING TO COME UP WITH A PRELIMINARY BUDGET AT THIS POINT, JUST BECAUSE IT IS SO DEPENDENT ON THAT ENROLLMENT NUMBER.
I'LL SHOW YOU MORE ABOUT THAT HERE SHORTLY.
ONE OTHER; TAX RATE COMPRESSION, JUST REAL QUICK.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAVE MORE TAX COMPRESSION.
LET ME CLICK. SO, IT HAS THE DIFFERENT TIERS.
IF I GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, REMEMBER THE STATEWIDE COMPRESSION IS BASED ON WHAT THE COMPTROLLER PREDICTS, OR PROJECTS THAT THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING TO CHANGE WHEN WE GET OUR 2021 VALUES.
THE COMPTROLLER IN THE BUDGET THAT HE SUBMITTED TO THE LEGISLATURE ONLY PREDICTED A 0.29 PERCENT GROWTH.
THERE IS NO STATEWIDE COMPRESSION FOR THE COMING YEAR.
ALL DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE TO REDUCE BECAUSE REMEMBER, WE HAVE TO REDUCE THE GREATER OF THE STATE BEING OVER 2.5 PERCENT, OR IF THE DISTRICT'S HIGHER THAN THAT.
SINCE THE STATE IS UNDER 2.5, THERE IS NO STATE-WIDE COMPRESSION.
WE'D KEEP THE SAME RATE, UNLESS HIGHER PROPERTY VALUES GROW BY MORE THAN 2.5 PERCENT.
IF WE GREW THREE, THEN WE'D ROUGHLY HAVE TO REDUCE OUR TIER ONE BY THE HALF A PERCENT CALCULATION. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO THEN, PLANO COULD EXPERIENCE A LITTLE TAX COMPRESSION IF WE GROW MORE THAN 2.5, BUT WE KNOW THERE'S NO STATE-WIDE COMPRESSION THIS YEAR.
>> BUT AREN'T YOU ANTICIPATING A FLAT GROWTH? YOU DON'T [OVERLAPPING] FEAR THAT, DO YOU?
>> WE DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO GROW MORE THAN, I DON'T KNOW, AGAIN, MY CRYSTAL BALL.
I DON'T HAVE IT FINE-TUNED BUT WE'RE PREDICTING TWO PERCENT.
I'M REALLY THINKING THAT'S PROBABLY OPTIMISTIC BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT NEW PROPERTIES COME ON.
>> IN ROCKY'S REPORT, HE SHOWED HOW TIGHT IT IS ON SALES.
THE HOUSING MARKET WAS STILL HOT HERE, SO LET ME ASK MY REAL ESTATE COLLEAGUES; TWO PERCENT, ARE WE THINKING THAT THAT'S THE RIGHT NUMBER, OR ARE WE STILL AT TIGHT MARKET, WHERE PRICES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RISE?
[01:00:02]
>> WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE AVERAGE PRICES, OBVIOUSLY THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT HE SAID, IS CLOSER TO 450,000.
THAT MAKES UP A SMALLER TOTAL OF THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE ON THAT.
I'VE SEEN STUFF STATE-WIDE SHOWING PRICES, LET'S SAY DECEMBER COMPARED TO DECEMBER 2019, GOING UP 30 PERCENT.
THERE'S BIG JUMPS. NOW THAT'S JUST MONTH OVER MONTH AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS GOING ON.
I FEEL LIKE TWO PERCENT'S A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE.
I'M SEEING, IF WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PRICES GOING UP, OF COURSE, INVENTORY IS VERY LOW.
SO HOW THAT CHANGES THE OVERALL MARKET VALUE, I THINK INVENTORY BEING AS LOW AS IT IS, IT MIGHT NOT HAVE THE IMPACT EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE SELLING FOR MORE.
THERE'S JUST NOT AS MANY SELLING, SO THAT OVERALL VALUES NOT NECESSARILY GOING UP.
>> [OVERLAPPING] STORM DAMAGE?
>> HONESTLY, I'M NOT COOL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU HOW THAT FACTORS IN.
>> [LAUGHTER] HALF OF OUR PROPERTY HERE, I THINK, IS COMMERCIAL, SO THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT INFLATION FACTOR THAN THE RESIDENTIAL.
>> THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING A WATCH PRESIDENT RICHARD.
IT APPEARS OFFICE SPACE IS DEVALUING PRETTY QUICKLY AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME AND THAT'S THE CONCERN, OR ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS HOW MUCH IS IT COMING DOWN AND IS IT GOING TO MORE THAN OFFSET THE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH? WE ARE SEEING PRETTY HIGH, YOU ALL KNOW BETTER THAN ME, BUT ON THE LOWER PRICE POINT RESIDENTIAL, ABOUT 200, $250,000 HOMES, OR I KNOW MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW ARE TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S JUST CRAZY.
>> IT'S MULTIPLE OFFERS AND GOING IN THE [OVERLAPPING] EVERYWHERE, SO THE UNDER 300 MARKET, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT SO HOT AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN WORKING [OVERLAPPING]
>> RIGHT. SO, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING.
I THINK DIFFERENT PROPERTIES ARE GOING TO DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE COMMERCIAL, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CLOSING BUSINESSES AND ALL OTHER ISSUES, WE MAY TAKE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT HIT THERE.
AGAIN, CRYSTAL BALL'S MURKY BUT THINKING WE MAY BE LUCKY OVERALL, IF WE EVEN GROW TWO PERCENT [BACKGROUND] WHAT'S THAT?
>> THE CRYSTAL BALL, MAKE SURE YOU PLUG IT IN.
>> [LAUGHTER] THAT'S WHAT I'M FORGETTING.
THE ORIGINAL BUDGET THIS YEAR, IF WE JUST LOOK AT TAX REVENUE, MONETARY CAPTURE PLUS STATE AID, WE STARTED AT ABOUT 448 MILLION.
THE WHOLE HARMLESS WAS FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER ONLY, SO WE WON'T BE TOO FAR FROM THAT IF WE GET THE WHOLE HARMLESS FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER.
IF THE HOLD HARMLESS IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER, THAT WOULD BE AT ABOUT 442.5 MILLION.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR NEXT YEAR.
ALL OF THESE ARE BASED ON THAT 47,736 PROJECTED ADA.
[NOISE] THAT ARE THE DOWN 1600 ADA, SOME MORE THAT WORST-CASE SCENARIO THAT WE THINK IS PROBABLY WOULD BE OUR BETTER ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW.
ALL OF THESE DOWN THESE BOTTOM THREE YOU'RE LOOKING AT '21-'22 AT DIFFERENT GROWTH RATES.
IF WE GROW ZERO PERCENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 436.8 MILLION NET REVENUES AFTER RECAPTURE.
IF WE GO UP TWO PERCENT, WE'RE ABOUT THE [LAUGHTER] SAME NUMBER.
BECAUSE REMEMBER NOW THAT WE'RE ON CURRENT YEAR VALUES THAT LAG, WE DON'T REALLY GET MUCH BENEFIT.
IF WE GO UP FOUR, OUR TAX RATE WOULD COMPRESS DOWN FROM A 1.05475 TO 1.04153, AND OUR NET REVENUES WOULD BE UP ALMOST ABOUT A MILLION BETTER.
SOMEWHERE RIGHT IN THERE, I DIDN'T STUDY THAT DEEPLY, BUT SOMEWHERE WE'RE HITTING A LIMIT IN THERE THAT WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE MORE BENEFIT THAN WE NORMALLY WOULD, IF THAT FOUR PERCENT GROWTH RATE.
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT'S STILL PRETTY INSIGNIFICANT, AND EVEN AT THAT, IT'S STILL ABOUT A NINE MILLION DOLLAR REDUCTION UNDER CURRENT REVENUES.
>> THAT FORMULAE IS JUST SOUL CRUSHING, SEEING WITH A TWO PERCENT GROWTH THAT ALL OF THAT GOES TO RECAPTURE [OVERLAPPING] AND A REDUCTION IN STATE AID.
>> IT'S A 10 MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE IN RECAPTURE FROM 0 TO 2 PERCENT.
THAT'S WHY I HAVE MY MASK OFF, I WAS GOING TO [OVERLAPPING] YELL ABOUT THAT.
>> WELL, IN GOING TO FOUR WOULD BE EXCEPT YOU HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR TAX RATE BECAUSE YOU GREW MORE THAN 2.5.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT RECAPTURE DOESN'T GROW AS MUCH.
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
[NOISE] RECAPTURE HISTORY, OF COURSE, THAT WAS BOUGHT DOWN THAT WITH THE HOLD HARMLESS, THE FIRST SEMESTER LOOKS LIKE WE'LL PAY ABOUT A 183 MILLION THIS CURRENT YEAR, AND THEN NEXT YEAR IF OUR ADA COMES IN AT ABOUT 47,736 AND A TWO PERCENT VALUE INCREASE, OUR RECAPTURE WOULD GO UP ABOUT FIVE MILLION.
BUT PART OF THAT IS REMEMBER, THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM, WE RECEIVE LESS STATE AID, AND SO WE'RE TAKING ABOUT A 12 MILLION HIT ON STATE AID.
[01:05:03]
THAT'S WHY OUR RECAPTURE IS ONLY GOING UP ABOUT FIVE MILLION.WE'RE LOSING 12 MILLION OF STATE AID PLUS OUR RECAPTURE IS GOING UP ABOUT FIVE MILLION.
>> RANDY, HOW WOULD IT IMPACT US IF WE DID GET THE HOLD HARMLESS FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER? WHAT WOULD THE IMPACT BE FROM A 183 MILLION? [OVERLAPPING]
RECAPTURED IF I GO DOWN TO 173-175.
>> IT CAN BE SLIGHTLY SIGNIFICANT.
>> RANDY, DOES THIS STILL PUT US ON THE TRAJECTORY TO BE THE SECOND LARGEST?
>> YES. WE'RE CURRENTLY SECOND BEHIND AUSTIN? YES.
>> I THINK THIRD IS FAIRLY DISTANT FROM US.
>> DO WE KNOW THIRD IS WHAT SIZE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR WHERE ARE WE?
>> THE AUSTIN AND PLANO PIECE HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT OVER A LONG PERIOD.
>> I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY A SMALL OIL AND GAS DISTRICT IT'S THREE, BUT I CAN'T THINK OF IT.
BUT THERE ARE OIL AND GAS VALUES ARE GOING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, SO NEXT YEAR THEIR RECAPTURE MIGHT GO DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AS WELL.
THEN REAL QUICK, JUST ON STIMULUS.
YOU'VE HEARD US TALK ABOUT THE ESSER I THE ROUND ONE THAT WAS ABOUT 13.2 BILLION.
THE STATE RECEIVED ABOUT 1.3 BILLION AND THEY PUT THAT INTO THE STATE BUDGET.
ESSER II, WE KNOW THAT'S 54.3 BILLION FOR PUBLIC, AND 5.5 BILLION OF THAT IS COMING TO TEXAS.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE UNKNOWNS.
WE THINK PLANO IS GOING TO BE ENTITLED ABOUT 17.35 MILLION OF THAT.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE IT ALL SUPPLEMENTAL AGAIN OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO SUPPLANT STATE FUNDING AGAIN OR IF WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE ANY OF THAT AS SUPPLEMENTAL MONEY.
AGAIN, THAT'S PART OF THAT WHOLE LEGISLATIVE PIECE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT ACTIONS ARE GOING TO TAKE THERE.
BUT WE ARE HOPING THAT WE WILL GET SOME RELIEF OUT OF 5.5 BILLION DOLLARS COMING FROM THE FEDS.
>> I THINK WE ALL KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO END UP, RIGHT?
>> WE HAVE A HUNCH. WE HAVE A STRONG HUNCH [LAUGHTER].
THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT TO US ONCE.
[OVERLAPPING] WHY WE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT?
>> WELL, WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP.
DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP AT ALL.
>> WILL IT BE SPENT FOR EDUCATION IF IT DOESN'T COME TO THE LEAS?
>> I'M SURE THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS THAT ARE TIED TO IT, BUT THEY MIGHT TRY TO FILL THE STATE THAT EDUCATION BUCKET FOR THE BIENNIUM WITH THE RELIEF MONEY.
>> THERE AGAIN, IT GOES INTO THAT SUPPLEMENTS SUPPLANT.
IT'S LIKE WHEN THE LOTTERY WAS PASSED, IT WAS GOING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION, IT DOES, BUT IT NEVER WAS SUPPLEMENTAL MONEY, AND SO IT WENT IN AND OTHER MONEY WAS TAKEN OUT AND WENT TO OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE BUDGET.
>> THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE DONE FOR 15 YEARS THAT I'VE AT LEAST STUDIED THE BUDGET.
IS EVERY TIME THEY GET ADDITIONAL MONEY, THEY JUST REDUCE WHAT THEY ARE OTHERWISE PUTTING INTO PUBLIC EDUCATION.
THAT'S WHY I WOULD ANTICIPATE THIS BEING THE EXACT SAME.
WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL AND WE NEED TO EDUCATE OUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE SHELL GAME IS.
>> WHAT WAS THAT WORD YOU USED IN A PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING? [OVERLAPPING]
>> I HAVE USED FOR LOTS OF WORDS [OVERLAPPING]
>> SHAKEDOWN, YEAH. THAT WAS ONE OF THEM.
>> OKAY. WELL, THAT'S ALL THAT WE HAD PREPARED FOR THE BUDGET UPDATE.
I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
>> I THOUGHT YOUR UPDATE WAS REALLY GOOD.
THE THING IS THAT WITH THE HOLD HARMLESS, WHEN DO YOU THINK WE WILL FIND OUT MAYBE NEXT MONTH?
>> WELL, WE SHOULD HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, BUT WE DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE SARAH KNOWS MORE, I THINK WITH THINGS MOVING SLOW AND NOW THEY'RE STARTING TO PICK UP A LITTLE BIT AT THE LEGISLATURE.
SARAH, DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS?
>> YEAH, I HAVE LOTS OF THOUGHTS.
[LAUGHTER] THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION ANGELA.
WHEN WE HAD MEETINGS WITH OUR DELEGATES, ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO BEFORE THE STORM, AND THE DELEGATES SAID THEY HAD SENT A LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONER ABOUT THE HOLD HARMLESS SUPPORTING GOING FORWARD IN GRANTING THE HOLD HARMLESS FOR A SECOND SEMESTER.
[01:10:02]
I COMMENTED TO OUR DELEGATES THAT THE COMMISSIONER IS SAYING IT'S ON THE LEGISLATURE, AND THE LEGISLATURE IS LOOKING THAT IT'S THE COMMISSIONER, SO IT'S A SHELL GAME OF WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION.ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF, ROUGHLY BEFORE THE STORM, I CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER EXACTLY THE DAY, THE COMMISSIONER WAS INTERVIEWED AND HE SAID IT IS HIS SOLE DECISION.
AT THAT POINT, WE TOOK OUR HOLD HARMLESS LETTER AND WE SENT IT TO THE COMMISSIONER SAYING, "WE HEARD YOU SAY IN AN INTERVIEW THAT YOU ARE THE SOUL DECISION-MAKER ON THIS.
HERE'S EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE TO RECOVER KIDS.
WE THINK YOU NEED TO GIVE US OUR HOLD HARMLESS AND IT APPARENTLY IT'S YOUR DECISION BECAUSE YOU SAID SO." NOW WE'RE WAITING, AND IT REALLY IS ON THE COMMISSIONER TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
IT'S HIS AUTHORITY AND HE HAS NOT CHOSEN TO DO THAT.
>> SARAH, I THINK I SAW AN UPDATE ON THAT FROM THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOARD COALITION.
DO THEY HAVE ANY RUMBLINGS ABOUT THAT OR OF OTHER DISTRICTS SUBMITTED THE WAY WE HAVE TO HIM SAYING, "HEY, WE SAW THAT, GREAT. HERE YOU GO?"
>> YEAH, I THINK A LOT OF DISTRICTS HAVE ADDED THERE, "HERE'S WHAT WE'VE DONE EVIDENCE" TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION, SO WE CONTINUE TO PRESS ON IT.
LAST WEEK, I ALSO SENT VIDEOS OF THE DAMAGE TO OUR BUILDINGS WHEN IT WAS BASICALLY RAINING INSIDE THE BUILDING TO OUR DELEGATES AND TO THE COMMISSIONER SAYING, "THERE WAS EVER A TIME FOR US TO DISCUSS HOLD HARMLESS.
HERE'S SOME VIDEOS TO SUPPORT WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR SCHOOLS."
>> THANK YOU, SARAH, FOR THAT EXPLANATION.
>>THE BOARD WILL NOW HEAR AN UPDATE ON WRAPAROUND SERVICES FOR STUDENTS, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES FROM DR. COURTNEY GERBER, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR STUDENT FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.
VERY EXCITED TO GIVE THIS REPORT BECAUSE I THINK IT JUST SHOWS THE WORK AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE WORK THAT WE LAID OUT IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN OVER THE YEARS.
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF PILLAR FOUR IN THIS UPDATE TODAY.
MAKE SURE MY CLICKER'S WORKING [NOISE].
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WRAPAROUND SERVICES, I WANT TO BUNCH THEM IF YOU WILL, UNDER FIVE UMBRELLAS.
THESE FIVE UMBRELLAS ARE AS YOU CAN SEE, COUNSELING AND STUDENT SERVICES, COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL SERVICES, FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
I'LL BE SPEAKING ABOUT EACH OF THESE UMBRELLAS IN THE SERVICES UNDER THEM.
MOVING FORWARD, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GO BACK AND JUST DO A RETEACH ON WHAT MTSS OR MULTI-TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT ARE.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WRAPAROUND SERVICES ITS EASY FOR PEOPLE TO THINK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FEW STUDENTS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I REMIND US ALL THAT WE'RE NOT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ALWAYS GET THE SERVICES SUPPORTS RESOURCES THAT COME WITH WRAPAROUND SERVICES.
THAT WE CALL A UNIVERSAL TIER.
THEN THERE ARE SOME SERVICES, SOME SUPPORTS THAT FEWER STUDENTS WOULD GET AND THEN EVEN SOME THAT ARE MORE INTENSIVE THAN EVEN FEWER STUDENTS WOULD GET.
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF COUNSELING AND ACADEMIC SERVICES, YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, USING OUR MULTI-TIER SYSTEM, THE GREEN CHECKS ARE WHAT WE WOULD GIVE TO EVERY STUDENT THAT WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR.
THEN THE YELLOW WILL BE SUM AND THEN THE RED WOULD BE FEW.
THEN I PUT SOME FLAGS AND I BOLDED THE NEW SERVICES THAT WE ARE PREPARING TO DELIVER FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
UNDER COUNSELING ACADEMIC, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW PLANNING FOR A VIRTUAL LEARNING ACADEMY.
WE'RE IN LIMBO ABOUT WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO COME TO FRUITION OR NOT AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND HAVE NET AS A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE PREPARED IF THAT DOES GET CLEARED FOR DISTRICTS TO GET THE FULL FUNDING AND EVERYTHING ELSE WITH IT, WE'LL BE READY TO HAVE A VIRTUAL LEARNING ACADEMY NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
[01:15:05]
THIS SCHOOL YEAR STARTING IN JANUARY LAST MONTH, WE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS TO DELIVER CREDIT RECOVERY OPTIONS FOR ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS THAT WERE BEHIND OR DEFICIENT IN CREDITS.WE STARTED THAT IN JANUARY, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT MOVING FORWARD.
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF FAMILY ENGAGEMENT.
AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE SOME SERVICES FOR ALL STUDENTS, SOME AND THEN FEW.
THE FLAGS ARE NEAR THE NEW STUFF, I'M GOING TO SKIP TO THE GRAND PARENTING CLASSES.
WE HAVE NUMEROUS MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES.
THAT IS HOMES WITH MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILIES IN THEM.
MORE GRANDPARENTS ARE TAKING CARE OF YOUNG CHILDREN, THAN MAY BE BEFORE.
AS SUCH, THEY'RE FINDING REAL QUICKLY.
IT'S DIFFERENT TO RAISE A KID NOW THAN IT WAS EVEN 20 YEARS AGO OF TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE'RE GOING TO START OFFERING GRAND PARENTING CLASSES AND RESOURCES AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS FOR THEM.
WE STARTED THIS YEAR SOME GED CLASSES WITH THE HELP OF GRAYSON COUNTY COLLEGE.
ALL ARE VIRTUAL RIGHT NOW FOR ADULTS, PARENTS, AND ANYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WOULD LIKE A GED.
WE HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW.
WE STARTED THAT THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
THEN I THINK I ANNOUNCED BEFORE, I'M GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT IT AGAIN.
WE'RE GOING TO START SO WE GOT FAMILY FIND THIS WILL BE A REFERRAL SYSTEM THAT SCHOOL PERSONNEL, REALLY EVEN THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, CAN GO ONLINE AND MAKE A REFERRAL FOR EITHER THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE THEY KNOW A NEIGHBOR OR A STUDENT THAT SAYS, THIS STUDENT MIGHT NEED GLASSES, OR THIS STUDENT MIGHT NEED A COAT, OR THE STUDENT MIGHT NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT X, Y, AND Z.
THAT REFERRAL WOULD GO TO OUR STAFF AND WE WOULD REACH OUT TO THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE CARE THAT THEY NEED.
>> [OVERLAPPING] CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION?
>> WITH THE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT SECTION AM WORRYING ABOUT THE PARENTING PART IN CLASSES AND THE GRANDPARENT CLASSES, WILL YOU BE OFFERING A HYBRID MEANING THAT SOME PARENTS CAN GO ONLINE OR BE IN-PERSON?
>> YES, WE OFFER THAT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE COVID SITUATION, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THAT EVEN IF COVID WENT AWAY, WE WOULD PROBABLY OFFER BOTH AND OR HYBRID, YES.
>> ON THAT GRAND PARENTING CLASS, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE I IMAGINE MATH IS A BIG DISCONNECT FOR MULTIPLE GENERATIONS [NOISE].
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHERE IS THAT OFFERED OR HOW IS IT OFFERED? I KNOW THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT SOME OF IT'S ONLINE, BUT TELL US WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
>> THE PARENTING CLASSES, ANY OF OUR ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES, RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ALL VIRTUAL.
BUT BEFORE COVID, WE WOULD HAVE THEM EITHER CAMPUS-BASED BECAUSE MAYBE A PRINCIPAL SAID, I HAVE A LOT OF PARENTS ASKING ABOUT TEENAGE DATING OR WHATEVER.
WE WOULD SEND PARENT EDUCATORS OUT TO THAT CAMPUS AND THEY WOULD DO EITHER A SESSION OR A GROUP OF SESSIONS FOR THAT CAMPUS.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE PARENT EDUCATION CLASSROOMS. WE WOULD OFFER THEM, IF YOU WILL CENTRALLY FOR PARENTS TO COME IN, SIGN UP AND TAKE THOSE COURSES.
OF COURSE, THESE ARE ALL FREE.
MOVING FORWARD, WE WOULD HAVE THAT SAME MODEL.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW INTERACTIVE THAT COURSE IS, WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD OFFER IT AS A VIRTUAL OPTION OR NOT.
FOR THE GRAND PARENTING CLASSES, WE WOULD HAVE ASSUMING THIS COVID ENDS, IN-PERSON SESSIONS, HYBRID SESSIONS, WHICH MEAN WOULD WE DO IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL AT THE SAME TIME, AND VIRTUAL SESSIONS.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE CONTENT.
FOR YOUNG KIDS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I USED TO HAVE THIS BROWN SACK LUNCHES, WHERE YOU DO TRAINING FOR YOUNG PARENTS, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG PARENT AND I LEARNED HOW TO READ WITH THE SPECIAL EDUCATION, WILL HAVE SERIES FOR PARENTS WITH KIDS WITH SPED OR WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
ARE YOU DOING THAT TOO FOR PARENTING CLASSES? ARE THERE GOING TO BE LIKE BROWN LUNCH SACKS SERIES?
>> RIGHT NOW, NO, WE'RE NOT DOING IT.
I CAN'T SPEAK AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE DOING IT, BUT I LOVE THE IDEA AND I'VE HEARD THE TERM LUNCH AND LEARN AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE WE CAN CERTAINLY INCORPORATE THAT.
THAT'S EASY AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG HIT.
>> WITH THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I DID ATTEND WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MOM, PLANO SD MOM.
[01:20:02]
>> I WAS NEVER A YOUNG MOM, BUT MY KIDS WERE YOUNG.
[LAUGHTER] BUT IT WAS CALLED PPE, PRACTICAL PARENT EDUCATION.
>> THE PTA WOULD PARTNER AND GET US A SPEAKER FROM THE DISTRICT AND THEY WOULD COME AND BASED ON THE TOPIC YOU WANTED, THEY HAD A WHOLE MENU OF ITEMS.
>> IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND IT WAS VERY POPULAR.
I WOULD GO WITH OTHER MOMS TOO.
IT'S VERY POPLAR AND WE DEFINITELY LEARN A LOT FROM THE DIFFERENT SERIES.
YOU WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT LEARNING SERIES?
>> MY EXPECTATION FOR THAT TEAM IS FOR THEM TO HAVE A CATALOG PRODUCED EVERY SEMESTER THAT WOULD OUTLINE ALL THE COURSES AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO TAKE.
THAT'S OUR EXPECTATION THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A CATALOG AND A CALENDAR OF ALL OF OUR COURSES.
>> CORTNEY REAL QUICK ON THE FAMILY FIND.
IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION ABOUT HAVING THAT AVAILABLE ON THE TIP LINES SO THAT PARENTS, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO REPORT ABOUT A STUDENT THAT'S IN YOUR HOME THAT YOU REALIZE HIS NEEDS, SOME EXTRA HELP.
>> IN SOME WAY OF ACCESSING THAT THAT WOULD BE HEALTHY ANONYMOUS, BUT THAT WOULD LET THE DISTRICT TO BE AWARE.
>> IT'S NOT REALLY MEANT TO BE A TIP LINE, FAMILY FIND REAL QUICKLY IS GOING TO HAVE TWO PRONGS TO IT.
FIRST PRONG IS ANY NEW STUDENT ENROLLING IN OUR DISTRICT COURSE, COMPLETES ALL THE NEW PAPERWORK TO ENROLL.
THEN A PART B OF THAT ENROLLMENT IS GOING TO BE THEIR OPTION, IT'S GOING TO BE A MANDATORY BUT THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THEIR BASIC NEEDS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
IF THEY CHOOSE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, AND IT SHOWS US THAT THEY HAVE A NEED, THEN WE'RE GOING TO RESPOND.
THAT'S ONE PART OF FAMILY FIND.
THE OTHER PART IS GOING TO BE AN ONLINE REFERRAL WHERE ON OUR DISTRICT WEBPAGE AND CAMPUS WEBPAGES, ANYONE CAN CLICK AND MAKE A REFERRAL OR MAKE A REFERRAL OF YOURSELF.
>> TELL ME WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, SORRY.
>> FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT COATS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD LAST WEEK.
IF I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND I SAW LITTLE JERI WALKING TO SCHOOL WITHOUT A COAT, AND I KNEW THAT WAS LITTLE JERI, I CAN GO TO OUR FAMILY FIND BUTTON, CLICK THAT AND SAY, "HEY, I THINK THERE'S A GIRL GOING TO WHATEVER SCHOOL AND I THINK HER NAME IS JERI CHAMBERS.
I NOTICED SHE DIDN'T HAVE A COAT ON, CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE CHECK INTO HER".
I'M SAYING IT AS A NARRATIVE REALLY, IT'S BOXES, YOU CLICK AND CHECK ON.
>> THAT'S FOUND ON THE WEBSITE?
>> IT WILL BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE.
I WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE THERE BY THIS SUMMER.
>> IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN THAT REGARD, THERE MIGHT HAVE TO BE SOMEONE WHO MONITORS THAT AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR REPORTING ABUSE.
I MEAN, IT COULD GO DOWN THAT PATHWAY IN A WAY.
DEPENDING ON WHICH QUESTION THEY ANSWERED IS GOING TO GET DIRECTED TO SOMEBODY ON MY STAFF.
DEPENDENT ON WHAT THE QUESTION WAS IS GOING TO GET ROUTED TO SOMEBODY ON MY STAFF.
>> THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN THIS FAMILY FUND ARE THEY AS YOU USED A CODE EXAMPLE AND IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE, BUT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT ABUSE.
I'M THINKING A PARENT SAYS, "GOD, I FOUND MARIJUANA IN MY KIDS CLOSET, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO." IS THAT A RESOURCE FOR THE PARENT TO GO TO?
>> I'M GLAD YOU USED THAT EXAMPLE.
WE HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT BY-THE-WAY.
IF YOU ANSWERED YES OR THE AFFIRMATIVE OF SOME DRUG RELATED QUESTION AND IT'S NOT A LEGAL THING, EVEN IF IT WAS LEGAL, IT WAS GOING TO GO TO US, OUR DRUGS SUBSTANCE ABUSE SPECIALIST WOULD GET THAT DING IN THEIR EMAIL TO KNOW TO RESPOND AND FOLLOW UP ON IT AND THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT LEVEL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS GOING TO POLICE OR JUST THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE CENTER OR WE'LL MAKE A REFERRAL SOMEWHERE.
YES, WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY MONITORING IT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE NOTIFIED EVERY TIME THEY HIT "SUBMIT".
UNDER THE UMBRELLA STUDENTS SERVICES, A LOTS GOING ON HERE.
WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE PLANO ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD, MISS STYLEY, I DID LOOK UP THE ESTA YOU ASKED WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED RECOVERY OUR ADA WERE GETTING FROM HAVING TO FINISH REVIEW BOARD AND GETTING KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL?
[01:25:01]
I LOOKED AT IT IN MID JANUARY AS BY A $100,000 AND I'M GOING TO SIT YOU GUYS AT A BOARD UPDATE THIS FRIDAY.WE'RE VERY PROUD ABOUT THE PLANO ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD.
THAT IS A NEW THING FOR THIS YEAR.
ALSO FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING AN ENROLLMENT SLASH WELCOME CENTER.
WE CAN WORK ON THE NAME WHENEVER.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLACE IS FOR STUDENTS, FAMILIES TO GET ENROLLED AND HAVE ALL THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS RIGHT THERE FOR THEM.
FROM IMMUNIZATIONS TO A TRANSLATOR, TO HELPING THEM GET OR OBTAIN THEIR DOCUMENTS THAT THEY NEED TO ENROLL.
THAT CENTER WILL BE FORTHCOMING FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT TWO SLIDES.
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL SERVICES.
ALONG WITH THIS ENROLLMENT CENTER, LET'S JUST USE THE TERM WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER FOR RIGHT NOW.
THIS WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER WILL HAVE THAT ENROLLMENT PIECE TO IT, BUT IT'LL ALSO HAVE CLOTHES CLOSET, FOOD PANTRY, BABY INFANT MATERIAL CLOSET, HYGIENE PRODUCTS THERE, SCHOOL SUPPLIES BACKPACKS.
IT WILL BE A PLACE THAT IF THERE'S A NEED AND WE HAVE IT, WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE THAT NEED RIGHT THERE.
THOSE ARE ALL NEW THINGS AS WELL AS THE JOB, A CAREER CENTER FOR OUR PARENTS AND EVEN SOME OF OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR JOBS.
WE PLANNED TO HAVE A RESOURCE CENTER FOR THEM TO HELP THEM WITH THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO PARTNER WITH SOME OF OUR AGENCIES HERE IN NORTH TEXAS.
THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT FLAGGED, WE ALREADY DO.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO.
>> THIS QUESTION. I'M ON THE THIRD ITEM THERE ABOUT THE CLOTHES CLOSET, WHAT HAVE YOU.
ARE WE CONTINUING TO ALSO USE THE RESOURCES OF TRUSTED WORLD, THAT IT PROVIDES?
>> ABSOLUTELY. THE TRUSTED WORLDS IS A GREAT PARTNER.
WE HAVE TONS OF PARTNERS, I'M SCARED TO CALL THEM OUT, ALL OF OUR PARTNERS, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS A LOT OF OUR PARTNERS ARE WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT WE'LL ALSO HAVE A CENTRALIZED COAT CLOSET, FOOD PANTRY. IT'LL BE CENTRALIZED.
>> I JUST WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING, FOR THE PLANO APP GRANT, I JUST WANTED TO THANK TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES, THE GRANT AND I WAS THANKFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO BE A PART OF TEXAS HEALTH COUNCIL.
>> WE WERE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE PART OF THAT AS WELL.
WE'RE GLAD TO CONTINUE THE PLANO OF GRANTS SERVING A LOT OF OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES ON THE EAST SIDE THERE.
THE LAST UMBRELLAS, THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS UMBRELLA.
AGAIN, THE NEW THINGS I HIGHLIGHT WITH A FLAG AND BOLDED, PART OF THE PARENTING CLASSES AND GRAND PARENTING.
WE'RE GOING TO ALSO ADD HEALTHY LIVING CLASSES, CLASSES ON NUTRITION AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
WE HAVE EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH DIFFERENT HEALTH SERVICE PARTNERS.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THOSE, EXPAND THOSE OR WE CAN ADD WHERE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
WE WORK WITH SMU FOR FAMILY THERAPY.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH SMU ABOUT EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES THEY CAN SERVE AND THE HOURS OF SERVICE.
RIGHT NOW THEY CAN HANDLE ABOUT 40 FAMILIES, WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT UP TO ABOUT A 100 FAMILIES THAT THEY CAN WORK WITH.
THESE ARE EITHER EXISTING OR PARTNERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEKING TO WORK WITH AND EXPAND OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS PARTNERSHIPS.
OTHER THINGS WE'RE GOING TO ADD, AGAIN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE JUST FOUND TO BE NEEDS AND THAT IS COMPLETING A MEDICAID APPLICATION.
IT'S A VERY INTIMIDATING DOCUMENT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE FAMILIES EITHER NEW TO OUR COUNTRY OR STATE, AND MAYBE EVEN HAVE LOW LITERACY LEVELS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR FAMILIES COME IN AND COMPLETE MEDICAID APPLICATIONS AND CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THERE IS AID FOR THEM AS WELL AT THE STATE LEVEL, SO WE'LL HELP THEM WITH THAT.
>> WOULD YOU ALSO HELP THEM WITH FOOD STAMPS TOO? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN FAMILIES FELT MEDICAID APPLICATION OR FOR FOOD STAMPS APPLICATIONS OR CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE YOU'D ACTUALLY REQUIRE LIKE A COLLEGE-LEVEL EDUCATION.
WHEN THEY'RE VERY COMPLICATED, THEY'RE NOT EASILY APPLICATIONS.
[01:30:02]
THEY DO REQUIRE A HIGHER FORM OF EDUCATION OTHER THAN HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.>> WE WILL HELP THEM FILL OUT ANY APPLICATION THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.
BUT I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT WE'LL ADD THAT TO OUR LITERATURE.
>> WHERE IS THIS WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER PLACE GOING TO BE? THAT'S WHERE WE'VE LOOKED AT.
BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT THE NAME, THIS IS JUST A NAME I'M USING TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
BUT THIS WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER WOULD BE HOUSED AT THE CURRENT BIRD CENTER.
THE STUDENTS CURRENTLY AT THE BIRD ARE AS AN ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL.
THROUGH DIFFERENT EFFICIENCIES, WE'RE ABLE TO MERGE THOSE TWO ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS TOGETHER AT THE CENTER, WHICH THEN FREES UP THE ENTIRE BIRD CENTER TO USE AS A WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER.
THERE'S A WHOLE WING THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES.
I'M SHOWING YOU THIS FLOOR PLAN.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL FLOOR PLAN, I'M JUST SHOWING YOU A MODEL THAT EVERYTHING FITS IN THERE.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM AVAILABLE FOR SMU.
RIGHT NOW SMU AT THE COX BUILDING, AND THEY DO HAVE SOME VERY SMALL ROOMS. THEY ASKED FOR SOME LARGER ROOMS, ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR PLAY THERAPY THAT THEY USE FOR KIDS.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THEM, PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL THE FOOD PANTRY, CLOTHES CLOSET, THINGS I WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT, OFFICE SPACE TO HOUSE, DRUGS SPECIALISTS, FOLKS BEHAVIORAL SPECIALISTS, ADULT EDUCATION, PARENT EDUCATORS.
THEN THAT WHOLE WING, THIS IS BE THE CLOSEST.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BUILDING, THIS IS THE ACTUAL PART OF THE BUILDING THAT'S ON 18TH STREET.
THAT WOULD BE THAT ENROLLMENT CENTER WHERE YOU WOULD GO IN, GET ENROLLED, GET SHOT OR IMMUNIZATIONS IF YOU NEEDED IT, HELP WITH TRANSLATIONS, TRANSFERS, ALL OF THAT ENROLLMENT TYPE SERVICES WOULD BE AVAILABLE RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S THE PROPOSAL FOR THE WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER.
WE'RE CALLING THIS PHASE I FOR LOTS OF REASONS.
ONE, IT'S ON THE EAST SIDE AND WE CERTAINLY KNOW THAT THESE TYPES OF SERVICES AND SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED DISTRICT-WIDE.
PHASE II IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET ACROSS OUR DISTRICT AND ALL AREAS NEEDED FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES, AND WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A MOBILE UNIT, OUR MOBILE LAB.
THIS IS REALLY A POINT OF DISCUSSION FOR THE BOARD.
I THREW SOME THINGS UP HERE TO HELP US WITH THE CONVERSATION.
WE HAVE A CURRENT MOBILE UNIT, IT'S ON THE TOP PICTURE THERE.
WITH THAT, CURRENT UNIT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW IS REALLY JUST A COMPUTER LAB, IT'S JUST A ROLLING COMPUTER LAB.
TWO OPTIONS TO CONSIDER IS TAKING THAT COMPUTER LAB AND MAYBE TAKING THE BACK HALF OF THE BUS AND CONVERTING IT TO A MINI MOBILE CLINIC, IF YOU WILL, JUST A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GIVE SOME SHOTS AND HAVE SOME PRIVACY FOR A NURSE AND A PERSON TO GIVE THOSE IMMUNIZATIONS, AND KEEP THE OTHER HALF HAS A COMPUTER LAB.
OR CONVERT THE ENTIRE BUS TO A CLINIC, PUT IN SOME STORAGE AREAS, HAVE TABLES AND COMPUTER LAPTOPS ON THERE BECAUSE THE BUS, YOU'RE NOT SEEING IT ON THIS PICTURE, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT DOES HAVE A RETRACTABLE AWNING.
YOU CAN SET UP THE COMPUTER LAB OUTSIDE AND HAVE THE INSIDE DEDICATED AS A CLINIC.
WE PUT THAT PROPOSAL TOGETHER AND WANT TO CONSIDER ARE LEAST LET YOU KNOW THEY WERE CONSIDERING FINDING A PARTNER OR A GRANT OR SOMETHING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER MOBILE UNIT.
OR IF THERE'S EXISTING UNITS AND THEY'RE OUT THERE, TO PARTNER WITH THOSE EXISTING MOBILE HEALTH UNITS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON THEIR SCHEDULE OF ROTATION.
THAT'S OUR ATTEMPT TO GET ACROSS OUR DISTRICT WITH ALL THE SERVICES I DESCRIBED BEFORE, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S A HUGE NEED.
SPECIFICALLY IN OUR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE DISTRICT.
I'M PUTTING A PIN HERE ON THE MAP, NOT STATE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE IT WOULD BE.
BUT JUST THAT AREA, THE SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR, IF YOU WILL, WHERE WE COULD CONSIDER HAVING A SECOND WRAPAROUND SERVICE CENTER.
AGAIN, I'M JUST USING THAT NAME TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I WANT TO ASK RANDY TO HELP ME TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT WHAT WOULD THE SECOND CENTER NEED? WHAT ARE THE BASIC NEEDS OF A CENTER?
[01:35:05]
WE WERE FORTUNATE ON THE EAST SIDE TO HAVE THE BIRD BUILDING BE AVAILABLE.BUT IF WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT ANOTHER BUILDING OR ANOTHER FACILITY, WHAT WOULD THE BASICS BE? THIS IS A HUMBLE ATTEMPT.
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A FLOOR PLAN, BY THE WAY, THIS IS JUST TO SHOW YOU THE BASICS HERE.
WE WOULD NEED A COUPLE OF ROOMS FOR SOME THERAPY, A COUPLE OF OFFICES, A CONFERENCE ROOM, A CLINIC, AND THEN AT LEAST THREE CLASSROOMS AND THOSE CLASSROOMS WOULD NEED TO BE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER WITH MOVABLE WALLS.
THAT WOULD BE THE BASICS OF A SECOND FACILITY.
OF COURSE, YOU'RE NOT SEEN RESTROOMS ON THERE, STORAGE ROOMS, ELECTRICAL ROOMS, AND ALL THAT, BUT THAT WOULD BE THE BASIC FOOTPRINT, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE BUILDING.
HOW WE GO ABOUT GETTING THAT BUILDING.
THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO ASK MY GOOD FRIEND RANDY [INAUDIBLE] , TALK US THROUGH THAT.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS, [INAUDIBLE] ALSO, OF COURSE, TONY PEARSONS HERE, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF NEW FACILITIES.
WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT SOME OPTIONS WHEN YOU LOOK OVER IN THE WEST SIDE.
WE'VE LOOKED AT LEASING AS ALWAYS AN OPTION IN ALL OF THESE HAVE THEIR PROS AND CONS AS FAR AS NEW CONSTRUCTION.
WE'D BEEN LOOKING AT NEW CONSTRUCTION OR ANY CURRENT CONSTRUCTION IN AND THEN MAYBE ANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE THERE.
WE'VE LOOKED WHEN YOU LOOK MORE IN THAT SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE DISTRICT AND TRYING TO LOOK AT SPACE.
WHAT OTHER CONSIDERATION IS, HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS GOING TO BRING IN AND HOW WELL IS THAT GOING TO WORK AT AN EXISTING CAMPUS? IF HE DID LOOK AT THAT WOULD THAT BE AN ISSUE? THE OBVIOUS PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE OVER IN THAT AREA IS THE MAPLE SHADE PROPERTY THAT WAS PLANNED FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD FOR THAT WASN'T BUILT.
I THINK THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO THE LOCATION OF WHERE DR.
GERBER'S RECOMMENDING OR WHEN THEY LOOK AT THOSE WRAPAROUND SERVICES IS SOMEWHAT IN THAT AREA.
THERE'S MORE THAN ADEQUATE SPACE WOULD 10.85 ACRES IS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT'S PRETTY VALUABLE PROPERTY OVER THERE, BUT SINCE THEN THERE'S EVEN DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
IF YOU LOOK AT BUILDING A FACILITY LIKE THIS, AND TONY HAS DONE SOME WORK OF LOOKING AT WHAT WAS PLANNED ON EARLY CHILDHOOD FOR WHAT THAT FLOOR PLAN LOOKS LIKE.
THEN HE'S ALSO TAKING THE INFORMATION THAT DR. GILBERT PROVIDED AND IS PUT THAT INTO JUST SOME SPACE, LOOKING AT SOME SPACE AND SIZING AND MAYBE HOW MANY SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD BE LOOKING AT THERE.
THE THING WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE THAT WE WOULD PROTONATE AN ARCHITECT, HELP US MORE WITH, IS JUST WHEN YOU START PUTTING THIS SPACES THAT DR. GERBER WAS TALKING ABOUT TO PLACE IT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 812,000 SQUARE FEET.
THEN WHEN YOU TAKE A BUILDING AND YOU START PLACING IN ON THAT PROPERTY, THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE, JUST TRYING TO SAY, HOW MUCH DID THE 10.85 ACRES WOULD YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT IF THAT'S THE PROPERTY THAT YOU LOOKED AT.
I DON'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE NEAR THE 10.85 ACRES BECAUSE AN ELEMENTARY CAMPUS NORMALLY IS ON SEVEN OR EIGHT ACRES AND THERE 60,000 TO 70,000 SQUARE FEET.
DEFINITELY IN THE EARLY STAGES THERE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT LEASING, I'M NEVER A BIG SUPPORTER OF LEASING.
IF IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TERM.
IF IT'S SOMETHING THE DISTRICT WANTS TO MAINTAIN FOR A LONG TERM, LEASING TO ME AS GOOD TEMPORARY BUT A DISTRICT LOCK US WHEN YOU HAVE BOND MONEY TO BUILD FACILITIES, YOU'RE BETTER USE BOND MONEY AND NOT USE OPERATING MONEY TO LEASE FACILITIES BECAUSE WE KEEP EVERY DOLLAR ON THE BOND SIDE, AND WE KEEP 70 CENTS OR WHATEVER IT IS FOR THAT YEAR ON THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION SIDE.
WE'VE GOT LIMITED RESOURCES THERE.
THERE IS MONEY IN THE CURRENT BOND THAT IF WE DID LOOK AT TRYING TO BUILD SOME NEW FACILITY, WE CAN REPURPOSE SOME OF THAT, OF COURSE, WITH THE BOARD'S APPROVAL TO DO SO.
WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
THE UNIVERSITY, IT'S FUNNY WE TALKED ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY PLAYS PROPERTY EARLIER.
TO ME, ONE IS, I DON'T KNOW IF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BUILD A CAMPUS THERE, BUT WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO HOLD IT FOR THAT.
IT'S PROBABLY FURTHER EAST AND REALLY WHERE THE NEEDS ARE, IT WOULD PROBABLY MEAN THAT FAMILIES THAT WOULD BE TARGETING, WILL BE HAVING TO TRAVEL MORE THAN WE WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO,
[01:40:02]
AND IT DIDN'T REALLY SEEM CLAD IS GOOD WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IT IS THE MAPLE SHADE PROPERTY.I CAN TALK PROCESS OF WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET SOMETHING BUILT, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, BUT I GUESS FIRST WE NEED TO TALK MORE LOCATION, AND BEFORE I GO INTO DETAIL ON WHAT THE STEPS WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT SOMETHING.
>> RANDY, I'LL THROW ONE MORE POSSIBLE SCENARIO OUT THERE TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
WHICH IS, WE HAVE SOME SMALLER USED CAMPUSES DOWN THERE AND REPURPOSING AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHICH I KNOW NOBODY WANTS TO DO.
BUT AN EXAMPLE, I WILL GIVE YOU IS WEATHERFORD IS UNDERUSED IN TERMS OF SIZE AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF CAMPUSES THAT COULD ABSORB THOSE KIDS.
YOU CAN TAKE THAT ENTIRE CAMPUS AND CONVERTED IT INTO A NEW BUILDING IF YOU WANTED TO.
WE HAVE TO THINK IN TERMS OF THOSE TYPES OF DECISIONS AS WELL.
IF OUR DEMOGRAPHICS CONTINUE TO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING DOWN, WE DON'T NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON A BRAND NEW BUILDING IF WE HAVE A BUILDING THAT CAN BE REPURPOSED.
>> WELL, AND I THINK ROCKY SAID THE COMMERCIAL IS WANING A LITTLE BIT.
I DON'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE AREA, BUT IS THERE ANY AVAILABLE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WE COULD MAYBE ACQUIRE PRETTY REASONABLY AND BUILD SOMETHING ON.
I JUST DON'T KNOW, YOU'VE DRIVEN AROUND THERE MORE RECENTLY THAN I HAVE TAMMY.
I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY CONSCIOUS OF EASE OF USE FOR FAMILIES IF WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT THEN IT NEEDS TO BE IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT WHICH, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE CLOSEST, CAN'T BE ANTICIPATED TO HAVE ROOM.
HAGGAR, MITCHELL, AND HUFFMAN, DOWN TO ME WEATHERFORD, IS JUST TOO FAR FROM THE NUCLEUS OF THESE FAMILIES.
IT'S GOING INTO A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, VERY DIFFERENT FROM MORE URBAN LIKE APARTMENT AREAS WHERE THEY LIVE.
MY POINT, AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE DO ANYTHING WITH WEATHERFORD.
I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE HAVE OPTIONS, IN THE DISTRICT THAT NEED TO BE EXPLORED ALL THE WAY AROUND.
BECAUSE THERE'S GOT TO BE A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY ON BUILDING A BRAND NEW BUILDING VERSUS SELLING MAPLE SHADE AND USING THAT MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
WHICH I DON'T WANT TO DO EITHER, BECAUSE MY FRIENDS WOULD DISOWN ME.
MY FRIENDS WHO LIVE DOWN THERE WOULD DISOWN ME IF WE DID THAT.
BUT THERE HAS TO BE A REAL LOOK AND WE GOT TO REALLY THINK HARD ABOUT THIS TYPE OF DECISION BEFORE WE MAKE IT.
>> WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AND ABOUT THE UNMET NEED THAT IT'S A SOCIAL SERVICES DESERT DOWN THERE.
WHEN WE LOOK TO WHERE THE APARTMENTS WERE THE DENSITY, THE MORE DENSE ONES ARE RIGHT DOWN AT THAT INTERSECTION AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE AS THEY AGE.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE YIELD AND MORE KIDS WHO LIVE IN POVERTY AND HAVE NEED.
RE-PURPOSING A HOUSTON ELEMENTARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISTRICT, WHICH HAS LOW POPULATION, IS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE IS OUR CHALLENGE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT, IT'S A TWO HOUR BUS RIDE TO GO FROM MITCHELL TO THE BIRD SIDE OF TOWN, AND THAT INCLUDES A 15 MINUTE WALK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
A FAMILY WITH LITTLE KIDS IS NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
I AGREE, WE NEED TO BE COST-EFFECTIVE, BUT IF THERE'S NOTHING CLOSE, THEN THERE'S NOT A GOOD OPTION BESIDES BUILDING SOMETHING.
>> THE THING IS THAT I'VE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR WRAP-AROUND SERVICES AND I'M GLAD WE'RE VERY FOCUSED ON IT AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE CODY BECAUSE YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.
BUT TAMMY IS RIGHT, THERE IS A DESERT OVER THERE, IN THAT CONTRACT THAT YOU'VE SHOWN US THAT IS NEAR HUFFMAN, THAT WE REALLY DO NEED PUT SOME FORM OF SERVICES THERE FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO WALK TO THAT FACILITY.
>> CODY CAN I ASK YOU IN TERMS OF FOR THIS PHASE 3, WHAT THE TIMELINE WOULD LOOK LIKE.
I KNOW YOU NEED GUIDANCE FROM THE BOARD AND THAT'LL DEFINITELY PLAY INTO THIS, BUT JUST YOUR FIVE YEAR VISION OR THREE, TRYING TO JUST GET AN IDEA OF WHEN THIS IS COMPLETE, WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT TIMELINE?
>> THE TIMELINE DEPENDS ON THE DECISIONS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING UP AND RUNNING WITHIN TWO OR THREE YEARS THOUGH.
>> SO RATHER IMMEDIATE IN TERMS, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A LONG PROCESS DEPENDING ON WHAT DIRECTION THE BOARD DECIDES TO GO IN.
TO NANCY'S POINT, I MEAN, IF THERE IS IN THE AREA OF GREATEST NEED, A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT CAN BE RETROFITTED AND PURCHASED AT A REASONABLE PRICE,
[01:45:01]
I THINK THIS TIME IN HISTORY IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER TIMES TO GRAB ONE OF THOSE DEALS, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE AND MEETS THE NEEDS ESPECIALLY WITH RISING CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND DELAYS IN SUPPLY CHAIN.I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO PLAY INTO THE NEXT YEAR, TWO YEARS OR THREE YEARS.
BUT AS MUCH AS A BRAND NEW BUILDING WOULD BE GREAT, I DO THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE OPTIONS AND EXPLORE THAT.
I REALLY THINK THE WAY COMMERCIALS GOING, THERE MIGHT BE SOME SILVER LINING OR SOMETHING UNIQUE FOR US TO GRAB.
>> BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF COMMERCIAL DOWN THERE AS I'M THINKING THROUGH MY HEAD.
I MEAN, WE'VE GOT OFF OF FRANKFURT IN THE TOW WAY.
YOU'VE GOT THE ALBERTSONS THERE, YOU'VE GOT A STRIP MALL, YOU'VE GOT THE APARTMENTS.
YOU MOVE OVER TO PRESTON, YOU'VE GOT A USED CAR PLACE, YOU'VE GOT MORE APARTMENTS, YOU'VE GOT A HOME DEPOT, [INAUDIBLE] YOU'VE GOT THE THE PLACE THAT WE OWN, YOU'VE GOT A RACE TRACK.
I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT ANY NICE ONE STORY BUILDINGS THAT ARE COMMERCIAL, THAT ARE UP FOR SALE.
IT JUST NOT WHAT THAT AREA HAS.
>> IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT A LEASE, AS OPPOSED TO A PURCHASE BECAUSE THOSE STRIPS CENTERS, THE STRIP CENTER AT FRANKFURT AND THE TOW WAY.
WHEN YOU GO ALL THE WAY AROUND UP THE TOW WAY ALONG THAT SIDE ROAD THERE, THERE WILL BE SPACE AVAILABLE IN THOSE PLACES AS BUSINESSES JUST CAN'T MAKE IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN COBBLE TOGETHER ENOUGH SPACE THAT WE NEED.
BUT LOOK, THAT'S ALL PART OF THE ANALYSIS AND TAMMY, DON'T TAKE ME WRONG, WE PROVED MONEY FOR AN EARLY CHILDHOOD FOR AND IF THAT'S THE BEST USES TO BUILD ON MAPLE SHADE, THAT'S WHAT I WILL WANT TO DO.
BECAUSE I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WILL EXPLORE ALL THE OPTIONS TO GET THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.
>> IT BEING SO CLOSE ON PRESTON ON THE BUS ROUTE AND THE CONVENIENCE OF IT.
THAT CAN'T BE OVERLOOKED. THE WHOLE POINT IS TO PUT THE WRAPAROUND SERVICES WHERE THEY CAN BE ACCESSED.
>> CODY, I'M GOING TO CHIME IN, I AGREE.
I THINK IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A PHASE 3, THEN THE RATIONALE BEHIND IT IS THE LOCATION REALLY MATTERS.
DALLAS JUST OPENED A HOMELESS SHELTER RIGHT UP IN THAT AREA, THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
THE NEED THERE I THINK IS GOING TO GROW FOR US NOT DIMINISH.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE SOUTH OF 190'S.
IF YOU LOOKED AT CANADA EXISTING, MITCHELL'S ENROLLMENT IS VERY UP AND DOWN.
IT'S HARD TO GUESS ON MITCHELL SOMETIMES WHICH WAY THEY'RE GOING TO GO.
THEY HAVE HIGH YEARS, THEN THEY HAVE LOWER YEARS.
THEN ALDRIDGE, WE'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT ALDRIDGE, ROSE, AND HAGGAR.
THE ONES WITH THE MORE CAPACITY ARE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGE BUSH.
I DO FEEL LIKE [NOISE] LOCATION ON THIS, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, MATTERS QUITE A BIT.
>> WELL, I WANT TO JUST RE-EMPHASIZE THE CONCEPT OF THE HOMELESS SHELTER.
IT'S NOT OPEN YET, CORRECT? OR IS IT OPEN YET? DO WE KNOW? I DON'T THINK [OVERLAPPING] I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT AN EXISTING HOTEL, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY HAD TO DO TO IT.
>> I JUST FOUND AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT THAT I'M TRYING TO PROCESS, BUT IT SAYS IN THE ARTICLE THAT THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS WILL BE ATTENDING PLANO ISD, THAT THEY'RE SERVICING IN THAT HOMELESS SHELTER.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT SEEMS TO ME WE NEED TO BE AS CLOSE TO THAT FACILITY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN BE TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO SERVICE THE STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE SERVED.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OR HOW THAT LOOKS LIKE AS PART OF OUR DISCUSSION.
BUT TO ME THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A MAGNET TO BRING IT CLOSER TO THERE TO SERVE, THE STUDENTS.
>> THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE LITERALLY HAVE THE PERFECT PIECE OF PROPERTY ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.
SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVE WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S JUST A NO-BRAINER.
BUT AGAIN, I WAS SAYING WE NEED TO EXPLORE ALL THOSE OPTIONS.
>> WELL, IS THERE ANY ELSE, ANY KIND OF PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS? WHAT I HEARD Y'ALL SAYING IS THE LAND IS TOO BIG FOR WHAT WE WANT TO USE IT FOR.
>> WELL [OVERLAPPING] , THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE A STORAGE FACILITY, I'M GUESSING FOR THE BUSES.
IS THAT RIGHT? PART OF THE PARKING STORAGE FACILITY THAT Y'ALL ARE REFERENCING?
>> THAT WAS WRITTEN ON OUR PLANNING MEETING.
WELL, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF NEED FOR STORAGE.
[01:50:02]
[LAUGHTER] BUT THIS WAS PRIMARILY FOR OUR FOOD DROPS AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE NEEDING MORE SPACE FOR FOOD DROPS.>> YEAH, I'M SURE THAT BETWEEN RANDY AND DR. GOBER, YOU COULD DO THE QUICK SCAN OF REAL ESTATE THAT'S AVAILABLE DOWN THERE AND DO SOME QUICK DETERMINATION WHETHER THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE APPROPRIATE, AND I DO RANDY'S COMMENTS ABOUT LEASING JUST REALLY ECHO IN MY HEAD.
IF HE'S LEASING, IT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF OPERATING DOLLARS, WHICH IS A HUGE THING.
IF WE HAVE PROPERTY, IT'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE, WE HAVE MONEY IN BOND TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BECAUSE EVEN THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF WRAPAROUND.
WE JUST COULDN'T GET PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION TO EMBRACE IT.
TO ME, THIS IS THE NO-BRAINER SOLUTION.
WE HAVE THE NEED, WE HAVE THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE THE MONEY, AND WE HAVE THE KIDS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE. I THINK CERTAINLY THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD LIKE SOME CLEAR DIRECTION, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TEST THEM AS A BOARD TO DO?
>> WELL, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE OPTIONS THAT MIGHT BE IN THAT AREA, THAT IF THIS PROPERTY YOU'RE SAYING 10.85 ACRES, IF IT'S TOO BIG FOR WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE WRAPAROUND, THEN PERHAPS WE SELL THAT AND IT'S WORTH A LOT OF MONEY IF WE FIND ANOTHER SMALLER PROPERTY TO DO THE WRAPAROUND.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT, I SUPPOSE BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION, BUT DEFINITELY, I THINK LOCATION MATTERS.
>> MY WORRY IS, I'VE ONLY BEEN ON THE BOARD LESS THAN TWO YEARS, BUT I'VE HEARD MY BOARD COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR A WHILE TALK ABOUT THE NEEDS IN THIS AREA AND OBVIOUSLY, THE NEED EXISTS NOW, AND SO I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TOO MUCH ANALYSIS PARALYSIS.
I'D LOVE TO BE A PART OF THE BOARD THAT PUT THIS IN MOTION AND ACTUALLY GETS IT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT AND WE'VE DONE THINGS IN WRAPAROUND SERVICES, BUT NOT LIKE THIS.
I THINK WE NEED TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY EXPEDITE IT AND GET IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE A DECISION.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT TOO.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE MAP WITH THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ON THE BOARD FOR THE SECOND YEAR, I NEVER IMAGINED THE NEED IS SO GREAT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THESE DOTS, THERE ARE A LOT OF CAMPUSES WITH A LOT OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ORANGE.
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE CAN SHOW THAT AREA. YEAH, I AGREE.
IT'S A LOT OF NEED OVER THERE.
MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF.
I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN WE ALL CAN AGREE ON THAT ONE.
ABOUT THE OPTIONS, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US ALL THESE OPTIONS.
I ALSO AGREE I WOULDN'T LEASE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECAPTURE AND WE ARE USING OPERATION MONEY.
IT'S JUST THROW MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN.
I ALSO AGREE WITH DAVID, EXPLORING ALL THE OPTIONS BEFORE WE DIVE INTO.
SET OUR MIND, COME UP WITH A PLAN.
COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS IS ALMOST A MUST.
WE'RE A DISTRICT, WE RUN A DISTRICT LIKE OUR OWN HOUSE.
WE NEED TO SEE HOW WE SPEND OUR MONEY BEST.
I CAME TO KNOW THE AREA TOO BECAUSE WE LIVE UP COCHITI.
THERE ARE NOT MANY COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES LIKE A NICE, EASY ONES WE CAN JUST GRAB.
I HAVEN'T EXPLORED ENOUGH TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE ANY.
BUT THIS IS THE THING I WOULD LIKE THE DISTRICT TO EXPLORE.
DO WE HAVE PEOPLE YOU GO TO SELL? SERIOUSLY, COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES NOW IS DEPRESSED.
>> IF WE CAN REALLY HAVE SOMETHING WE NEED, WE CAN BUY A NAME, WE CAN SELL THAT LAND.
[01:55:01]
IF MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE, I LIKE A BRAND NEW, SHINY BUILDING OVER THERE.I JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS.
>> WELL, HEATHER, YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> PLANO ISD DROPS INTO THE CITY OF DALLAS.
>> THERE ARE SOME OFFICE BUILDINGS IF YOU GO DOWN, IT SEEMS TO ME DOWN THE TOLLWAY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THEN IF YOU'RE OUT OF THE DISTRICT, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD AT LEAST TAKE A PEEK AT IT.
I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF BEING QUICK, BUT NOT ANALYSIS PARALYSIS, BUT LET'S LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
>> YOU JUST SAID [OVERLAPPING] THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN PLANO.
IT COULD BE IN DALLAS, WOULD THAT BE TOO FAR FOR FAMILIES TO WALK TO IF IT'S A LITTLE BIT SOUTH?
IT'S IN DALLAS. MOST OF THESE KIDS LIVE IN DALLAS.
>> IF YOU GO FURTHER SOUTH, [INAUDIBLE] WOULD THAT BE ANY MORE CONVENIENT.".
>> RANDY, WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IS FOR SALE.
WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOME BUILDINGS AND SO THAT'S INFORMATION THAT WE CAN REQUEST.
>> AN ABSENT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR THE GOLDEN DEAL THAT DAVID WAS SAYING.
IF THERE'S NOT SOME BLURRING, GREAT OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE THEN I THINK WE RECOGNIZE THAT HOW LUCKY WE ARE THAT THIS LAND WAS PURCHASED BY THE DISTRICT PREVIOUSLY AND WE UTILIZE IT, WE LOOK AT OUR OPTIONS AND SEE HOW TO BEST UTILIZE IT.
OBVIOUSLY, PUTTING A PROPERTY ON THERE, BUT WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS, AND REALIZING THAT WE'RE A DISTRICT THAT WE JUST DID DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT, WE KNOW WHAT OUR NUMBERS SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY PLAY IN OUR DECISION ABOUT WHETHER WE SELL THE LAND OR KEEP IT, OR IF WE THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL USE THERE JUST MIGHT NOT BE AS MUCH AS IT WOULD NOT BE GREAT TO SELL PART OF IT, IF WE DON'T HAVE A USE FOR IT, IT ALSO DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO KEEP HOLDING ONTO IT.
>> OF COURSE, IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT PROPERTIES WE'RE NOT USING WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PROPERTIES THAT WE OWN WITHIN PLANO THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WITH FOR YEARS, AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROJECT DOESN'T HAVE TO BEAR A BURDEN THAT WE DON'T PUT ON OTHER PROJECTS.
I AGREE COMPLETELY CODY THAT THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANALYSIS PARALYSIS BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY OPTIONS.
THE BARD CENTER WAS A CHURCH, AND SO THEY'RE NOT ANY CHURCHES DOWN THERE THAT WE CAN BUY A MULTI-STORY OFFICE BUILDING.
WHAT WE NEED, ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN, IS 9 -12,000 SQUARE FEET.
THAT'S NOT AN OFFICE BUILDING.
THAT MAY BE PART OF THE STRIP MALL, BUT THAT'S NOT AN OFFICE BUILDING.
I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD GO QUICKLY THROUGH THIS ANALYSIS, BUT THIS ANALYSIS WAS ALSO DONE FOUR, FIVE, SIX YEARS AGO BEFORE.
HOPEFULLY, IT COULD BE A QUICK UPDATING TO DETERMINE THAT THERE IS OR IS NOT ANYTHING THAT'S RIGHT FOR THE KIDS.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE NEXT TO THE LIQUOR STORE.
IT NEEDS TO HAVE PARKING, IT NEEDS TO HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE CENTERED WHERE THESE FAMILIES ARE.
IN SPITE OF THE DEMOGRAPHER TALKING ABOUT LOWER IN RELEVANT IN GENERAL, OUR ENROLLMENT OF LOW SOCIO-ECONOMIC IS NOT GOING DOWN.
WE'RE HAVING MORE CHILDREN WHO ARE LIVING IN POVERTY, UNTIL ALL THOSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ARE JUST RAZED TO THE GROUND AND THEY START OVER AGAIN.
THERE ARE GOING TO BE MORE KIDS WHO LIVE IN NEED.
IT'S GOING TO GO FROM MORE GREEN TO MORE YELLOW TO MORE ORANGE IN TERMS OF THE YIELDS, THAT'S JUST WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.
>> TAMMY, YOU SAID, LET'S GIVE THEM SOME DIRECTION IN TERMS OF WHAT NEXT STEPS ARE.
FOR ME, NEXT STEPS ARE COMPLETING THE DUE DILIGENCE OF RUNNING THROUGH THE SCENARIOS, COMING BACK TO US WITH A RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT YOU ALL THINK IS THE BEST OPTION.
CERTAINLY, I THINK WE ALL HAVE AN EXPECTATION OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, BUT LET'S EXPLORE WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.
THEN SECONDLY, HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT.
EXPLAIN TO US, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE AS A BOARD A CONVERSATION REGARDING WE HAVE MONEY DESIGNATED FROM THE LAST BOND TO BUILD EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER.
[NOISE] THIS IS A SLIGHT [NOISE] VARIATION ON THAT AND SO WE, AS A BOARD, WOULD NEED TO BE COLLECTIVELY FINE WITH RE-PURPOSING THOSE DOLLARS THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR AN EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OR SOMETHING TANGENTIALLY, BUT DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL.
BECAUSE, HISTORICALLY THAT IS NOT WHAT WE HAVE DONE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS CONNECTED TO WHAT WE WERE ENVISIONING WITH THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER.
>> RIGHT. IT ALWAYS HAD THAT WRAPAROUND SERVICE [OVERLAPPING].
>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD REPURPOSE [NOISE] OF DOLLARS, BUT YOU ALL NEED TO COME TELL US HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST? HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT?
[02:00:01]
THEN THE BOARD NEEDS TO DECIDE IF WE'RE COMFORTABLE PAYING FOR IT.>> I WANT JUST TO REITERATE. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS [NOISE] I REMEMBER VERY [NOISE] CLEARLY THINKING THAT NIGHT THAT WE MADE THE DECISION I WAS GOING TO BE ALL FOR HAVING THIS EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER THERE.
THAT WAS THE NIGHT WE FOUND THAT WE HAD A $7 MILLION DEFICIT TO OUR OPERATING BUDGET.
[NOISE] WE ALL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND [NOISE] WHAT WE CAN'T AFFORD THE OPERATING COSTS FOR THIS FACILITY.
[NOISE] WE'RE ALSO IN PRETTY CHALLENGING FINANCIAL SITUATION AS A DISTRICT NOW AS WELL.
WE [NOISE] GOT TO, I MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE MOST BANK FOR AS LITTLE BUCK AS WE CAN SO THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE PUTTING A BURDEN ON THE DISTRICT FOR A LONG-TERM FOR KEEPING A FACILITY OPEN, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BURDEN TO US [NOISE].
WE'VE GOT TO REALLY BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING [NOISE] IN THE BEST FISCALLY WAY FOR THE LONG GAIN.
>> I 100 PERCENT AGREE WITH THAT, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT HAVING A FINE ART CENTER AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO ADD TO THE M&O, AND THEN I LOOK AT THIS, THAT'S GOING TO DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR MOST STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE MOST NEED.
WHAT THAT MIGHT DO TO THE M&O BUDGET, IT'S HARD TO SUPPORT ONE AND NOT THE OTHER. THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.
I SEE THE NEED ON A MORAL LEVEL FOR THESE STUDENTS IN THESE SERVICES FAR ABOVE FINE ARTS.
I'M A SUPPORTER OF THE FINE ARTS, BUT WHEN WE HAVE THAT IN OUR BUDGET, AND THEN WE START TALKING ABOUT MONEY FOR SERVICES FOR THESE KIDS AND THESE FAMILIES, I JUST CAN'T FIND A WAY TO SAY NO. [NOISE]
>> I'M VERY GLAD YOU ARE HERE. [OVERLAPPING].
>> IF IT WASN'T COVID, I WOULD COME OVER AND HUG YOUR NECK.
YOU ARE SPEAKING FOR THE CHILDREN AND I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT IN MY MIND, 53 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A FINE ART CENTER, HALF-MILLION OR SO TO MAINTAIN THAT EVERY YEAR, WE GOT LITTLE KIDS WHO NEED SOME HELP?
>> I [NOISE] ABSOLUTELY AGREE, BUT WE JUST NEED TO BE VERY COGNIZANT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS.
THAT AREA IS DEFINITELY A POINT OF WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF INCREDIBLE NEED, SO YES [OVERLAPPING].
>> JUST FROM AN OPERATING STANDPOINT AND THE TEAM HAS DISCUSSED THIS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SATELLITE.
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO RECREATE THE WHOLE BIRD FOOTPRINT SO STAFF WOULD ROTATE IN AND OUT OF THERE.
A SCHOOL'S OVERHEAD IS DIFFERENT THAN A FACILITY LIKE THIS WITH OVERHEAD.
IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE MINIMAL BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT STAFFING THE BUILDING IN THE SAME WAY.
>> TO JUST CLARIFY, WE DON'T HAVE PLANS TO DUPLICATE THE STAFF FOR THE SECOND CENTER.
NOW, THERE WILL BE ONE OR TWO POSITIONS THAT WILL BE SOLELY BASED AT THAT WEST CENTER, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW IS MAKING SURE THAT WE BUILD PROGRAMS, SCHEDULES, CALENDARS, AND STAFFING MODEL THAT WOULD ALLOW OUR STAFF TO HAVE A SHARED WORKSPACE AND SO MUCH LIKE RIGHT NOW, I OFFICE [NOISE] OUT OF THIS BUILDING AND OUT OF COX AND I JUST GO BACK AND FORTH AND SPREAD THE GERBER LOVE.
>> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M, SO GLAD THAT WE'RE PUTTING SERVICES ON THE EAST SIDE AND ON THE WEST SIDE.
I'M GLAD THAT THE PLANNING IS FOR BOTH SIDES BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO ON 75 IT SPLIT OUR STUDENTS TO ONE SIDE, TO THE OTHER SIDE OF PLANO ISD, SO THAT THIS ACTUALLY IS FOR THE KIDS IT'S FOR OUR STUDENTS, ITS FOR THE NEEDS, APPLYING THE NEED OF WRAPAROUND SERVICE THAT WE'VE ALWAYS NEEDED FOR SOCIAL SERVICES.
>> I THANK YOU GUYS, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IS NOT ONLY EAST AND WEST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR MOBILE UNIT BECAUSE THERE'S POCKETS SLACK AND MURPHY, THERE'S POCKETS AROUND OUR DISTRICT THAT NEED [NOISE] SERVICE SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT PHASE TWO OR THE MOBILE UNIT.
WE'LL COME BACK WITH SOME OPTIONS FOR BOTH THE MOBILE UNIT AND AT SOUTHWEST QUADRANT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU DO THIS ASSESSMENT OF REAL ESTATE IN THAT COMMUNITY, IN THAT AREA?
>> I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK MR. MCDOWELL?
>> I'M SURE THERE'S A REALTOR THAT WE'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP QUICKLY.
[NOISE] SOMEBODY IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GIVE YOU A TIMELINE, BUT WE'VE GOT SOME REALTERS HERE.
I DON'T THINK IT TAKES THAT LONG TO LOOK AT CURRENT PROPERTY [NOISE] AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
>> I'M SURE HEATHER AND I [OVERLAPPING] CAN GET OUR HEADS.
I CAN DEFINITELY WORK ON THIS.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK ONE QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE MOBILE UNIT AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PERHAPS GETTING SOMEONE TO GRANT ONE OR, PARTNER WITH US IN SOME WAY.
[02:05:02]
WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED VALUE FOR ONE OF THOSE MOBILE UNITS? [NOISE] JUST A GUESS.>> IT DEPENDS [NOISE] IF IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE A MEDICAL ONE VERSUS LIKE A COMPUTER LAB, BUT YOU'RE TALKING [NOISE] 300,000 PLUS [NOISE].
>> COURTNEY, [NOISE] I KNOW OUR NEXT MEETING IS ONLY NEXT WEEK, SO THERE'D BE A QUICK TURNAROUND[LAUGHTER] BUT I WOULD HOPE BY THE WORK SESSION IN MARCH THAT YOU COULD GIVE US SOME GOOD ANSWERS ABOUT REAL ESTATE OPTIONS SO THEN THE BOARD CAN START TO DO THAT SECOND DISCUSSION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICKLY YOU CAN COME UP WITH THE ROUGH COST ESTIMATE FOR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT YOU'VE ARTICULATED? I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS ONLY WHEN HE GOT HIS CHART, [NOISE] IF WE ALL GOT IT IN OUR POCKETS WHERE THERE'S ACTUALLY [OVERLAPPING] AN ESTIMATE AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS WITH 9,200 SQUARE FEET, A LITTLE LESS THAN $3 MILLION.
>> WHAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THE FOURTH EARLY CHILDHOOD WAS, I THINK AROUND $18 MILLION AND CERTAINLY, THIS USE WAS VERY MUCH IN CONCERT WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
>> WE COULD SELL ONE OF THEIR PROPERTIES AND GENERATE $3 MILLION TO PAY FOR [NOISE] CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING.
>> WE COULD SELL ONE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WE OWN FOR $3 MILLION TO GENERATE THE DOLLARS NECESSARY TO BUILD IT.
>> THAT HAS A SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
>> BUT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BECAUSE THE BOND DOLLARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THE FOURTH EARLY CHILDHOOD.
WE DO HAVE A DOLLAR THERE BECAUSE OF THE BOND.
THE THING IS THAT WE JUST NEED TO DECIDE BECAUSE THE THING IS THAT IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ALL THAT ACREAGE THAT WE HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] SHADE.
>> YOUR PRIORITIES IS MY APART PRIORITIES.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO GIVE YOU SOME ANSWERS AND I'LL STRIVE FOR NEXT WEEK, BUT CERTAINLY BY THE NEXT ONE AFTER THAT.
>> OKAY, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE LEARNED TO KNOW AND LOVE THE KIDS IN THAT QUADRANT.
I KNOW YOU'D ALWAYS BEEN AN EASTSIDE GUY UNTIL WE GOT YOU OVER AT JASPER AND SHELTON AND YOU SAW THE NEEDS PERSONALLY.
>> THERE IS A HUGE NEED THERE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AND SO I'M GLAD.
I THINK WE AGREE THAT IT'S REALLY MORE ABOUT LOCATION.
IF WE DON'T HAVE IT IN THAT AREA, [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT'S NOT VERY USEFUL SO, I'M HEARING THAT TAKEAWAY AND SO I'LL GET WITH RANDY AND HIS TEAM AND WE'LL GET AFTER IT.
>> DR. GOBER I WOULD SAY THAT YOUR PRESENCE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN IMPACTFUL TO OUR DISTRICT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. HAVE A GREAT TEAM TO WORK WITH, SO THANK YOU ALL. [LAUGHTER] [NOISE]
>> ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
THE BOARD WILL NOW HEAR A BOARD MEMBER LIAISON UPDATES.
BOARD MEMBERS SERVE AS LIAISONS TO VARIOUS GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE EXECUTIVE LEVEL SUMMARIES TO OUR BOARD.
THE FIRST TWO UPDATES WILL BE FROM BOARD MEMBER NANCY HUMPHREY REGARDING THE CITY OF PLANO AND THE RICHARDSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EDUCATION WORKFORCE COMMITTEE TRUSTEE HUMPHREY.
>> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO DO THE RICHARDSON CHAMBER FIRST BECAUSE I'LL LEAVE THE PLANO LAST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT DAVID AND CODY JOINED IN THAT COURSE, SO I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO CHIME IN.
I SERVE ON THE RICHARDSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE COMMITTEE.
OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE COMMITTEE HAS PLANNED THIS REALLY NEAT EVENT CALLED THE I DREAM EVENT FOR RICHARDSON ISD SIXTH GRADERS.
THEY PARTNER WITH DALLAS COLLEGE, THE RICH LAND CAMPUS, WITH A VARIETY OF INDUSTRY PANELS SO THAT THE SIXTH GRADERS CAN ATTEND.
TYPICALLY THEY DO IT IN PERSON.
IT GETS SOME ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS, LET SOME GET THAT TOUCH AND FEEL.
BUT THIS YEAR THEY HAD TO DO IT.
OOPS, I THINK I'M LOSING POWER HERE.
I'M PRETTY LOUD THOUGH. ANYWAY, THEY HAD TO DO IT VIRTUALLY THIS YEAR.
I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PANEL MODERATOR.
I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEBODY BEHIND ME.
WHY AM I DRAWING A BLANK ON HER NAME OR PARDON ME? [BACKGROUND] I CAN SEE HER AND SHE'S THE FUNNY ONE.
>> THERE WE GO. [BACKGROUND] THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY.
DR. DAVIS IS ALSO ON THAT COMMITTEE.
AM I RIGHT? [LAUGHTER] ANYWAY.
SHE'S ON THAT COMMITTEE AS WELL AS I AM.
WE HOPE THAT WE CAN BRING THIS TO PLANO ISD.
[02:10:02]
I KNOW THIS YEAR WAS AN A PIE IN THE SKY.WE THOUGHT WE COULD DO IT AND THEN COVID HIT.
SO THAT'S NOT AN OPTION, BUT IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO THE STUDENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHO ARE THEN AN EIGHTH GRADE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS ON THEIR PATHWAY, THEIR ENDORSEMENT PLAN FOR PLANNING FOR HIGH SCHOOL.
WE'VE ALSO GOT CONTACTS WITH COLLIN COLLEGE.
THEY WANT TO DO THIS AND IT'S JUST A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN PARTNER WITH THE PLANO CHAMBER AND WE CAN GET BUSINESSES.
ANYWAY, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
ALSO, THEY WANTED ME TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THE RICHARDSON MAYOR SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS OPEN TO STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE CITY OF RICHARDSON, AS WELL AS ALL OBVIOUSLY THE STUDENTS IN RISD.
BUT SO I'VE GIVEN THAT INFORMATION TO THE PTA PRESIDENT OVER AT PLANO EAST, SO THAT SHE CAN PASS THAT ALONG BECAUSE THESE ARE FOR PAID INTERNSHIPS, A MINIMUM OF $10 AN HOUR.
LAST YEAR THERE WERE SOME PLANO ISD STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE RICHARDSON MAYOR SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.
THERE'S THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, THE DEADLINE FOR STUDENTS TO APPLY IS MARCH 12TH AND THE DEADLINE FOR EMPLOYERS TO APPLY IS IN APRIL AND I DON'T HAVE A DATE ON THAT.
SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN THAT, FOR THE KIDDOS TO BE INTERNING THIS NEXT SUMMER, AND IT MAY BE A HYBRID KIND OF A VIRTUAL.
ANYWAY, SO THAT'S MY RICHARDSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UPDATE.
THEN CITY OF PLANO, DAVID AND CODY AND I MET ON JANUARY 13TH VIA ZOOM WITH BRIT GRADIENT SHELBY WILLIAMS WHO ARE ON THE COUNCIL.
WE DISCUSSED LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE PRIORITIES THAT WE HAD AT THAT TIME IN JANUARY AND WHAT OUR POSITIONS ARE.
I KNOW MUTUAL POSITIONS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DISTRICT.
I THINK COMMON THEME IS LOCAL CONTROL AND RICK GRADY AND SHELBY ALSO DISCUSSED INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS WITHIN THAT MAIN MEETING.
I KNOW THAT SHELBY MENTIONED SIGNIFICANT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INFRASTRUCTURE NEED ANNUALLY.
HE WAS LETTING US KNOW THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL TAX INCREASE THERE FOR THE CITIZENS OF PLANO BECAUSE THERE ARE CONTINUING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.
THEN DAVID AND CODY, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD?
>> NO COMMENT. [LAUGHTER] YOU DID A GOOD JOB SUMMARIZING.
THERE WAS A GOOD CONVERSATION, BUT IT MADE ME HIT EVERYTHING.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO TOUCH ON WHAT NANCY DIDN'T MENTION.
IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY ALSO TO TALK TO OUR CITY COUNCIL LIAISONS ABOUT THE FUND BALANCE AND HOW THAT HALL ALL OF THAT WORKS AND EXPLAINING HOW WE'RE COORDINATING AND DISCUSSING WITH OUR LEGISLATORS AND GETTING THEM ON THE SAME BOARD AS THAT.
I KNOW TALKING TO DIFFERENT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, THEY'LL HAVE PARENTS COME TO THEM WITH CERTAIN QUESTIONS OR COMPLAINTS AND THEY'LL SAY, WELL, YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
SO JUST HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND HOW SOME OF THOSE THINGS WORK WHEN THEY COME ACROSS THAT OR WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THOSE ISSUES WITH SOME OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
THE MORE WE EDUCATE THEM THE MORE THEY CAN HAVE OUR BACK.
SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BUILD RAPPORT WITH THEM AND ALSO TO EDUCATE THEM AND THEM EDUCATE US ON THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND SOME OF THE FUTURE.
I WOULD SAY ISSUES, BUT OPPORTUNITIES AND HAPPENINGS IN THE CITY.
>> THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR SCHEDULING THAT.
I KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME IT'S BEEN MORE CHALLENGING TO SCHEDULE THE CITY SO I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSEVERANCE.
THE NEXT BOARD MEMBER LIAISON UPDATE IS FROM BOARD MEMBER ANGELA POWELL REGARDING PLANO ISD COUNCIL OF PTAS TRUSTEE POWELL?
>> YES. I'VE ATTENDED THE COUNCIL OF PTAS BOARD MEETING ON FEBRUARY 2ND AND THERESA WILLIAMS, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, WAS RECOGNIZED THERE AS A GUEST THERE.
THAT DAY TOO. WHAT WE DID, WE ALSO DISCUSSED WHOLE HARMLESS TO THE COUNCIL OF PTAS.
[INAUDIBLE] SARAH BONSER WAS THERE AND SHE EXPLAINED WHOLE HARMLESS TO THE COUNCIL OF PTAS MEMBERS.
WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT THAT OF TODAY, SO I WON'T GO OVER THAT AGAIN BECAUSE WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT OF A WHOLE HARMLESS TODAY.
THAT WAS ANOTHER DISCUSSION WE DID THAT DAY FEBRUARY 2ND.
THEN OF COURSE THEY ALSO MENTIONED WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR SCHOOLS.
[02:15:02]
WE HAD NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK.WE'VE ALSO HAD A SCIENCE FAIR THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE COUNCIL OF PTAS MEETING.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING THAT WE'VE MENTIONED WAS ALSO THAT THE COUNCIL OF PTAS LIFE MEMBER EVENT THAT WE USUALLY HOLD YEARLY, WE'RE GOING TO DO VIRTUALLY THIS YEAR.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE LIVE STREAM EVENT AT 06:30 PM, VIRTUALLY ON MARCH 16TH ON A TUESDAY NIGHT. THAT'S MY UPDATE.
>> [NOISE] I KNOW YOU'RE A LONGTIME PTA MEMBER, SO THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING THAT CONNECTION.
>> THE NEXT BOARD MEMBER LIAISON UPDATE IS FROM BOARD VICE PRESIDENT, JERI CHAMBERS REGARDING THE TASB DELEGATE AND TASB LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT RICHARDS.
ON FEBRUARY THE 10TH, I ATTENDED A VIRTUAL MEETING OF THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS LEGISLATIVE MEETING.
THERE'S SOME OVERVIEW THAT THEY SHARED, A STATISTICS THAT WAS SHARED THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING.
NOW I'M NOT SURE THEIR SOURCE EXACTLY, BUT THEY SAID THAT TEXAS STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED BECAUSE OF COVID, A 3.2 MONTHS OF LEARNING LOSS.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU ALL TO BE AWARE THAT THAT WAS BEING SHARED.
COUPLE OF BILLS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT WERE INTERESTING.
ONE IS SPONSORED BY OUR OWN SENATOR PAXTON, IT'S SB 226 AND IT'S RELATING TO INSTRUCTION AND EDUCATOR TRAINING PROGRAMS AND REQUIRE THAT TEACHERS HAVE DIGITAL LEARNING, VIRTUAL LEARNING, AND VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION, AND HAVE THAT BE PART OF THEIR TESTING SO THAT THAT BECOMES PART OF THEIR CERTIFICATION PROCESS.
SENATE BILL 259 IS ALSO ONE THAT IS RELATING TO ESTABLISHING A GRANT PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
THEN THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS CHARTER SCHOOL BILLS AND WHAT THE DIRECTION THAT THEY WERE ALL LOOKING AT.
MOST OF THE ONES THAT WERE DISCUSSED WERE THOSE PERTAINING TO PRACTICES HAVING TO DO WITH OVERSIGHT.
THERE IS A DESIRE TO HAVE GREATER OVERSIGHT, NOT TO ELIMINATE CHARTER SCHOOLS PER SE, BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FALL UNDER THE SAME STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED OF PUBLIC ED.
THE OTHER ONE THAT WAS INTERESTING AS A COMBO; THERE'S A SENATE BILL AND A HOUSE BILL, AND THIS IS RELATING TO THE USE OF POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF PUBLIC FUNDS FOR LOBBYING.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND HEARD THIS, AND THE EXPRESSION THAT THEY USED THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING WAS, THIS IS A FORM OF TAXPAYERS CENSORSHIP.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN INTERESTING TERM THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.
THE OTHER THING THAT I'VE CAPTURED IS THOSE WHO ARE FROM TASB WHO ARE WATCHING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION DESCRIBED IT AS THIS SESSION IS STRANGE, WEIRD, AND BIZARRE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD CAPTURE THAT IN TERMS OF WE HEARD EARLIER IT BEING SLOW PACED, I THINK IS WHAT RANDY SAID EARLIER, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING FROM THIS GROUP.
THEN WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT OVERTLY, BUT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT BY ROCKY EARLIER WITH THE CENSUS AND THE DATA FOR THAT.
THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL SESSION FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR SO THAT IT CAN DEAL WITH THE REDISTRICTING, AND WHO KNOWS IF OTHER ITEMS WILL COME UP? PROBABLY NOT. OF COURSE, THIS MEETING WAS BEFORE OUR RECENT WEATHER AND INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCED LAST WEEK, SO THAT ALSO VERY MUCH PROBABLY WILL INFLUENCE THINGS.
SO MUCH LIKE NORMAL EVERYWHERE FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT.
