Dec 12, 2022 Special Called Meeting

[00:00:04]

GOOD EVENING. I'M DAVID STOLLE, BOARD PRESIDENT AND PRESIDING OFFICER, NOTING THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT.

[1. CALL TO ORDER]

ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 12TH, 2022.

AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO ASK SUPERINTENDENT DR.

THERESA WILLIAMS TO VERIFY THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT REGARDING THE NOTICE FOR THE MEETING.

PRESIDENT STOLLE I VERIFY THAT THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

THANK YOU. WHERE IS SELENDA? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS THIS EVENING.

OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO THEN GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON.

YOU NOTICE THAT THE THIRD ITEM IS CLOSED SESSION IF NECESSARY.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.

[5. With the passing of the 2022 bond and the last year of the current strategic plan, the Board of Trustees will convene to begin the initial steps for the District long range vision and strategic roadmap to begin in the 2023 2024 school year.]

AND WE'RE GOING TO TURN THIS MEETING.

THIS IS A FIRST OF OUR PLANNING MEETINGS AS WE LOOK TOWARDS STRATEGIC PLAN AND LONG TERM VISION FOR THE DISTRICT.

THIS IS I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND I HOPE YOU ALL ARE, TOO.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PUT A STAMP ON WHERE THE DISTRICT IS HEADED FOR THE NEXT PERIOD OF TIME AND SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF OF LONG TERM, OUR TRADITIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND SO THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A NEW EXPERIENCE AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

BEFORE I TURN THIS OVER TO THERESA, I THINK WE ARE BROADCASTING.

AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'RE HAVING COMMENTARY THAT NEEDS TO BE STATED TO THE ENTIRE ROOM, IF YOU'D PLEASE USE YOUR MICROPHONES SO THAT WE CAN GET A GOOD RECORDING OF THAT AS WELL.

SO WITH THAT, THERESA, TIME TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

THANK YOU, DAVID.

SO AS WE'RE WRAPPING UP OUR CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT PHASE.

AND WE ALSO, WITH THE PASSING OF THE 2022 BOND, THIS IS THE INITIAL STEP OF COMING TOGETHER TO FORMULATE OUR NEXT STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR LONG RANGE PLAN AND STRATEGIC ROADMAP.

SO AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE IVY OK ASSOCIATES, WE HAVE DR.

DYLAN WHELAN AND ROSS RIVERS, WHO WILL BE FACILITATING TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION AND ALSO THE CURATION PHASE OF OUR PLANNING.

AND SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO TO ROSS.

THANK YOU. DR. WILLIAMS THANK YOU, BOARD.

MY NAME IS ROSS RIVERS.

I'M NOT USED TO USING A MICROPHONE HERE, SO BEAR WITH ME.

I'M WITH VLC ARCHITECTS.

WE HAVE WORKED WITH PLANO ISD FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS AND WE WERE ASKED TO COME TONIGHT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT CURATION TO HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR ROADMAP WITH THE PASSING OF THE RECENT BOND.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME HANDS ON STUFF.

DELAINE WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THE LADY TO MY RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS DR. DELAINE BRIONNE.

SHE IS. SHE'S BEEN WITH VLK FOR EIGHT YEARS.

SHE IS FROM THE WORLD OF EDUCATION.

SHE IS NOT AN ARCHITECT, SO SHE IS ON BOARD TO, LIKE I SAID, LEAD THIS PROCESS THROUGH CURATION TO GET SOME FREE THINKING IDEAS AND DISCUSSIONS OUT THERE WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO HER AND SHE'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE REST.

THANK YOU, ROSS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. DR.

WILLIAMS. PRESIDENT STOLLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING US BE HERE TONIGHT.

I WANT TO START WITH GOOD EVENING.

IT'S A GREAT NIGHT TO CURATE WITH BRILLIANT MINDS, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M FEELING WHENEVER I'M KNOWING THAT I'M COMING TO PLANO ISD AND THE WORK THAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE AND THE WORK THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

AND SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THAT.

YOU'VE ALREADY MET US, SO LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT.

WE REALLY JUST HAVE ONE EXERCISE.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT CURATION MEANS TO VLK ARCHITECTS.

AND BECAUSE I AM THE EDUCATOR ON THE TEAM, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE START FIRST WITH WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT.

AND THE REASON YOU ARE A PART OF THIS, BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF YOUR ROLE, YOU'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON WHAT'S BEST FOR THE KIDS OF PLANO ISD.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE THE ROLE THAT I HAVE AND THE PLANNING THAT I DO FOR EDUCATION.

SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US CONNECTING TOGETHER.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH A CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DESIGN PLANNING EXERCISE, WHICH IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING MOST OF THE WORK TONIGHT, NOT ME, BECAUSE WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS SO THAT WE CAN START TO PUT THOSE THOUGHTS TOGETHER IN A ROADMAP.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT VLK CURATION.

WE BELIEVE THAT BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING AT VLK ARCHITECTS, WE CURATE, AND THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT I DESIGNED

[00:05:08]

SO IF WE'RE DOING A LONG RANGE PLAN, WE CURATE, IF WE GET HIRED TO DO A NEW HIGH SCHOOL AND MAYBE WE'RE ONE OF THREE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS, WE STILL CURATE BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GIVING YOU A PLAN OR GIVING YOU A BUILDING, BUT REALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.

AND SO FOR PLANO ISD, WE'RE REALLY TALKING TO NOT ABOUT THAT FIRST STEP IN WHAT YOU'RE CALLING A ROADMAP.

SO I WANT EVERYBODY TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

LET IT OUT. I SAID FIRST STEP.

RIGHT. SO SEE THAT ROAD? WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING YET.

IT'S A LONG JOURNEY POSSIBLY TO GET THERE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE RIGHT THOUGHTS FROM THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THE MAP.

SO IF YOU CAME TONIGHT THINKING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS GREAT LITTLE PLAN AND HAVE EVERYTHING FINISHED TONIGHT, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

SO I NEED YOU TO JUST BE COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT THIS IS THAT FIRST STEP.

WE HAVE TO INVOLVE THE WORK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT, ALONG WITH A LOT OF THINGS THAT ROSS ASKED MR. HILL FOR, THINGS LIKE FACILITY CONDITIONS, ASSESSMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE, YOUR ENROLLMENT, YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES, ALL KIND OF CAPACITY STUDIES.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT ROSS IS WORKING WITH THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE COUPLED WITH THE WORK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE US TONIGHT, THOSE OUTCOMES.

SO JUST KNOW WE'RE ON A JOURNEY TOGETHER AND IT'S GOING TO ALSO BE CONNECTED TO THE WORK THAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE.

WE'RE STUDYING THINGS LIKE YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN, THE PILLARS THAT YOU HAVE IN PLACE, ALL OF THAT'S GOING TO ALIGN.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO TAKE YOU ON A WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO TAKE A ROAD THAT'S GOING TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN THE ONE THAT WE'RE ALL TRYING TO CREATE.

SO CURATION ALSO IS ABOUT, LIKE I SAID, THE KIDS IN YOUR DISTRICT.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MAKE SURE OUR EMPLOYEES KNOW IS THAT AS WE MOVE THROUGH GENERATIONS, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW EDUCATION'S CHANGING AND ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING AND IN THE WORK THAT WE DO, WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING ON THE FUTURE.

SO WE KNOW THAT GENERATION Z HAS BEEN LEAVING OUR SCHOOLS AND THEY'RE JUST ABOUT GONE.

IN FACT, MY DAUGHTER IS GENERATION Z AND SHE'S A FIRST YEAR TEACHER THIS YEAR.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE MOVING THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.

AND WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS HAVING A GENERATION ALPHA THAT WE'RE EDUCATING.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KIDS THAT HAVE NOW GONE THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.

AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE THEIR MAIN POINT THAT DEFINES THEIR GENERATION.

BUT THESE ARE THE KIDS AND YOU KNOW THEM.

THEY'RE THE KIDS THAT THEIR SCREEN WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN THEIR BINKY OR THEIR PACIFIER.

WE CALLED IT A BINKY AT MY HOUSE.

AND WE KNOW THAT WE SEE TODDLERS IN THE RESTAURANT.

THEY'RE HAPPY AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THEIR SCREEN VIDEO IS AMAZING TO THEM.

THEY TELL STORY THROUGH IMAGERY AND SOUND THAT'S DIFFERENT.

SO THEY'RE REALLY INFLUENCING EDUCATION IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN GENERATION Z DID.

WE ALSO UNDERSTAND NOW THAT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT IS EVEN DIFFERENT AND THE PLASTICITY OF THE BRAIN AND HOW THE FRONTAL LOBE OF THE DEFINITION OF ALL OF THE DEFINING FACTORS OF HOW THE BRAIN IS DEVELOPED IS NOW EXTENDING EVEN LONGER IN LIFE.

WHENEVER I WENT TO SCHOOL, WE THOUGHT THAT THE BRAIN WAS DEVELOPED BY ABOUT 18, SO WE THOUGHT WE WERE GRADUATING KIDS THAT WERE FULL ADULTS.

WE KNOW NOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

SO WE HAVE A STRONG BELIEF THAT THE THINGS THAT WE PLAN FOR HAVE LONG TERM EFFECTS.

EVEN WHEN THE STUDENTS LEAVE YOU, THEY'RE STILL NOT FULLY GROWN.

SO HOW CAN WE CREATE THE EXPERIENCES AND THE RIGHT SPACES FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE? WE KNOW THAT TECHNOLOGY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE CAN'T TEACH WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY, AND WE KNOW THAT THE STUDENTS ARE COMING AS EXPERTS TO THE CLASSROOM.

SO I SHARE THAT WITH YOU BECAUSE THOSE ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHENEVER WE START THINKING ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK THROUGH TONIGHT.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE STATE IS REALLY PUSHING US WITH ACCOUNTABILITY AND WE HAVE TO BE MORE INQUIRY BASED AND YOU ALL DO A GREAT JOB OF THAT ALREADY, BUT

[00:10:02]

KIDS HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER, PROBLEM SOLVE TOGETHER, USING THEIR TECHNOLOGY AND HAVING TO THINK CRITICALLY TOGETHER AS GROUPS IN ORDER TO PROBLEM SOLVE, WHICH WE LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHENEVER WE'RE HIRING, YOU KNOW, NEW INTERNS.

SO I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY ARE THE UNDERGIRDING OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT YOU TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND WHENEVER YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE TO DO TONIGHT.

OKAY? SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE BUSINESS OF TONIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T NEED TO TALK ANY LONGER.

YOU'RE FIXING TO START DOING THE WRITING AND THE TALKING.

SO THIS IS GOING TO MOVE US TO THIS DESIGN PLANNING EXERCISE.

AND I WANTED YOU TO BE IN SEVEN GROUPS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD AND SO YOUR GROUPS ARE SMALL ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE DIALOG AT YOUR TABLE.

AND HOPEFULLY THAT WON'T TURN INTO DEBATE.

BUT IT MIGHT. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT DOES.

WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE THROUGH THAT, BUT MOSTLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CAPTURING YOUR IDEAS.

EVERYONE IN HERE HAS AN OPINION ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO THINK ABOUT.

YOU MAYBE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING VERY WELL IN THE DISTRICT.

THERE MAY BE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, AND WE HAVE EXPERTS IN THE ROOM IN CASE WE GET QUESTIONS THAT I CAN'T ANSWER.

BUT YOU ALSO MAY HAVE IDEAS ABOUT THINGS.

AND I LOVE TO SAY IN THE ROLE THAT I PLAY.

DREAMS ARE FREE.

SO RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET.

WE DON'T HAVE A NEW PLAN.

WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT.

SO WE HAVE FIVE FOCUS AREAS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIALOG OUT TONIGHT.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE USING THE PAPER THAT'S ON YOUR DESK.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE MARKERS.

SO YOU NEED TO HAVE A SCRIBE AT EACH OF YOUR TABLES AND YOU'RE GOING TO THINK ON PAPER ABOUT THESE THINGS.

AND I'M AND I'M NOT GOING TO I'M NOT GOING TO POLICE YOU THROUGH THEM.

I'M GOING TO LET YOU MONITOR YOURSELF AND WORK THROUGH THEM.

BUT IN THE END, I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU REPORT OUT.

SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE BETTER BECAUSE I'LL I'LL MONITOR THIS AND SEE HOW IT'S GOING.

BUT WE ALL NEED TO FOCUS ON EACH OF THESE AND MAKE SURE YOU GO THROUGH A DELIBERATE DIALOG OF WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO SHARE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. SO WHEN WE SAY ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, THAT'S INCLUDING ADVANCED ACADEMICS, YOUR IB PROGRAM AND YOUR CO CURRICULAR.

SO ANYTHING ACADEMIC THAT YOU'RE THINKING, THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT THAT.

THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS.

CONCERNS HOW IT SHOULD BE PLANNED.

WHAT WE MIGHT NEED TO DO.

EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING YOU CAN THINK ABOUT.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

CTE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, SPECIAL EDUCATION AND SECTION 504.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK FOR YOUR DISTRICT OK.

SO YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY COLOR MARKER THAT YOU LIKE.

YOU HAVE HEADERS ON YOUR CHARTS.

AND SO I WANT EVERYBODY TO START WITH ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, AND THEN WE'LL SEE HOW QUICKLY YOU MOVE THROUGH THIS.

AND IF YOU NEED SOMETHING.

IT COULD BE EITHER ONE, IT COULD BE PROGRAM CONTENT OR BUILDING DESIGN, BECAUSE THOSE SHOULD GO TOGETHER.

SO IF YOU HAVE A IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED WITH DESIGN OR FACILITY SPECIFIC, ABSOLUTELY YOU CAN DO THAT.

I BET EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM HAS A DEFINITE OPINION, WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE INVITED.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR.

SO YOU'RE QUIET RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST VERY LONG, AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS OVER WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ACADEMIC PROGRAMS? OKAY. I'M GOING TO LET YOU GET STARTED.

I WANT TO HEAR A BUSY HUM GOING ON IN THIS ROOM.

AND I'M GOING TO CHECK ON YOU IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND SEE WHERE YOU ARE.

I WAS ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT FORWARD THINKING.

ABSOLUTELY. YOU'RE THINKING FORWARD BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE NEXT STRATEGIC PLAN.

[00:15:02]

DEFINITELY THE WHOLE DISTRICT FORWARD THINKING.

[00:21:14]

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED.

SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE MORE MINUTES.

KEEP GOING.

[00:29:45]

[01:21:44]

[01:21:52]

[01:21:54]

[01:22:04]

[01:23:56]

[01:24:33]

[01:24:38]

[01:27:50]

[01:27:51]

[01:27:59]

[01:28:11]

[01:28:18]

SO YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE 2 MINUTES TO SHARE ON EACH TOPIC BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR NOTES WITH ME.

SO WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID.

BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE ROOM HEARS YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS.

AND IF YOU CAN DO YOUR WHOLE PAPER IN 2 MINUTES, THAT'S FINE.

IF YOU CAN'T AND YOU WANT TO REALLY ELABORATE ON SOMETHING FOR 2 MINUTES, THAT'S FINE.

WELL, WE'LL LET YOU START OFF AND AND SHOW HIM THAT YOU CAN DO IT IN 2 MINUTES.

WE'LL START RIGHT HERE WITH ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR MICROPHONE SINCE WE ARE RECORDING.

NO, I CAN. I CAN HOLD IT.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT FOOTPRINT.

AND DOES THE FOOTPRINT OF THE DISTRICT MAKE SENSE BOTH IN A MACRO SCALE AND IN A MICRO SCALE? AND WHAT WE MEAN BY THAT IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF CAMPUSES.

DO THE FOOTPRINT OF THOSE CAMPUSES MAKE SENSE? AND HOW DOES THE SIZE OF THE CAMPUS IMPACT THE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM DELIVERED ON THAT CAMPUS? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT PROGRAMING AND THE RIGHT PLACES? AND DO WE NEED TO ADD PROGRAMING? RIGHT. AND ONE OF THE EXAMPLES WE CAME UP WITH IS THIS IB GAP BETWEEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

[01:30:05]

PROGRAMS AT THE RIGHT PLACES.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WAS WITH THE CTE CENTER, WE HAVE PASSED BOND MONEY FOR THE CITY CENTER.

SO THE CTE PROGRAMING AT THE SENIOR HIGHS AND THE HIGH SCHOOLS, WHAT OF THAT GETS CONSOLIDATED? WHAT OF THAT STAYS AT THEIR HOME CAMPUSES? DO WE HAVE OVERLAP AND REDUNDANCIES OR WE, YOU KNOW, IS THE WAY WE'RE DOING THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND THEN OUR CAMPUS IS MATCHED FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK.

AND THIS IS MY PLUG FOR STEM PROGRAMING AND DO WE HAVE RELEVANT AND, YOU KNOW, SUFFICIENT CAMPUS SPACE FOR ADVANCED ACADEMICS.

AND AND IN MY CASE, I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ADVANCED ACADEMICS.

ABOUT STEM ACADEMIES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I DO BELIEVE YOU DID IT WITHIN 2 MINUTES.

OKAY. GO AHEAD. THIS TABLE YOU CAN ME NEXT ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND UP.

IT'S JUST AS LONG AS YOU USE YOUR MICROPHONE.

YEP. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT THE FIRST TABLE HAD, BUT REALLY, WE WANTED TO BE A DESTINATION DESTINATION DISTRICT.

SO LIKE OUR OWN BOOKER T WASHINGTON, WHAT WOULD MAKE PEOPLE COME TO PLANO ISD WHEN WE LOOK AT DUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES, YOU KNOW, COULD WE ADD ACADEMIC AND WORKFORCE DUAL CREDIT? CAN WE ARTICULATE PATHWAYS FROM PLANO ISD TO COLLIN COLLEGE THAN TO A UNIVERSITY SUCH AS LIKE U.

UTD FOR ENGINEERING UNT FOR MUSIC AND THEN MAKE SURE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE POSSIBILITY IS FOR ADDING EMBEDDED FACULTY FOR DUAL CREDIT PURPOSES AS WELL.

AND MAKE SURE THROUGH ALL THIS WORK THAT WE'RE SELLING IT AS COLLEGE AND CAREER AND NOT ONE OR THE OTHER.

AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT MIDDLE YEAR PROGRAMING.

SO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND 910 EXPANDING.

IB WE ALSO MENTIONED.

CONSIDER ELEMENTARY STEM OR STEAM PROGRAM.

SO IS THERE A WAY TO MATCH OUR PROJECT LEAD THE WAY THAT ARE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AND SENIOR HIGH LEVELS ROBOTICS AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE EXPANDING PROGRAMS OF CHOICE AT ALL LEVELS FOR STUDENTS.

ONE OF THOSE COULD LOOK AT THE FINE ARTS PROGRAMING FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

ALSO KEEP IT IN MIND WHILE WE'RE LOOKING.

ALL THIS PROGRAMING IS THE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR ADVANCED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND THEN VERTICAL ALIGNMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR HIGH ATHLETICS MASCOTS.

CULTURE SUCH AS LIKE EVERYTHING IN THE SENIOR HIGH CLUSTER WOULD BE LIKE WILDCAT NATION AND THEN INCREASED MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSE OFFERINGS, RIGOR AND PROVIDE ROOM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE TO FIT IN LIKE COURSES AND OTHER ADVANCED ACADEMIC COURSES FOR STUDENTS.

PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NEXT TABLE.

WE MENTIONED MANY OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY HAVE ALREADY BEEN INDICATED FROM THE OTHER GROUPS, CERTAINLY THAT THE IB, THE CTE EXPANSION, ETC., EXPANSION IN OUR STEAM PROGRAMING ROBOTICS.

ALSO PROJECT BASED LEARNING CODING.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT SOME FACILITIES COMPONENTS SUCH AS BUILDING MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLABORATIVE SPACES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF OUR CLASSROOM.

LOOKING AT OUR MOBILE FURNITURE, BEING ONE OF OUR HIGHLIGHTS TOO, THAT WE SOME OF US HAVE SEEN IT, EVEN SOME OF OUR UNIVERSITIES, THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND AND THEN THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THE RENOVATION, LIKE AT PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO TO CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NINE THROUGH 12 EXPERIENCE FOR OUR STUDENTS AS WELL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT TABLE.

WELL, AGAIN, WE MENTIONED A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN LISTED IN TERMS OF THE SPECIFICS.

SO WE JUST SUMMARIZED OUR FINDINGS AND MANY OF THEM, LAUREN.

MANY OF THEM WRAPPED AROUND MATH AND SCIENCE OPPORTUNITIES.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT KEEPING THE CURRICULUM FRESH AND CURRENT TO REFLECT BOTH OUR STUDENT POPULATION AND CURRENT EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING. AND WE HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE DEFINED THAT REALLY ARE THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX IN DELIVERING UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES. SO NOT JUST DOING IT THE WAY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT.

[01:35:03]

NEXT TABLE.

SURE. SO FOR OUR GROUP, WE WANT TO LOOK AHEAD FIVE, TEN, 20 YEARS TO CONSIDER IF WE HAVE ADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR THE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO EXPAND THESE PROGRAMS FROM EQUABLE STANDPOINTS? AND ARE WE RECRUITING, RETAINING, YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT PERSONNEL FOR EACH AREA, EACH PROGRAM, EACH DEPARTMENT? SO THOSE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS WE WERE THINKING ABOUT.

GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT NEXT TABLE.

WE ALSO HAD MANY OVERLAPPING IDEAS WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, NOT SO MUCH ON THE STEMMONS THEME.

WE KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO GET COVERED AT OTHER TABLES.

SO WAY TO COVER DEFINITELY TALKED ABOUT JUST PROJECT BASED LEARNING, BUT EXPANSION OF ELEMENTARY CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES, EXPANSION OF MATH ROCKS PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE IB PROGRAM WE TALKED ABOUT.

AND ONE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS WAS EXPANDING OFFERINGS FOR ADVANCED ACADEMICS LIKE ART AND LEADERSHIP, JUST OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUTSIDE OF THE CORE ACADEMICS, AND THEN MORE EXPLORATORY OPPORTUNITIES FOR K THROUGH EIGHT, THE POTENTIAL OF A COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THEN THIS PART I REALLY LIKED FOR OUR KIND OF WONDERINGS, CAN WE BROADEN THE CRITERIA OF PACE TO INCLUDE MORE STUDENTS, INCLUDING MATH, ROCK, SO EXPANSION OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES? AND THEN ALSO, CAN WE BRING AND OFFER CHOICE PROGRAMS SUCH AS LIKE ACADEMY MODELS TO SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS, LIKE A FINE ARTS ACADEMY, A STEM ACADEMY? I GUESS WE DID HIT THAT CLASSICAL ACADEMY MODEL WAS ONE THAT I REALLY LIKED.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE IB.

SO JUST TRYING TO CREATE MORE OPTIONS AND CHOICES WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

OKAY, GREAT.

YOU HEARD A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS.

I THINK THAT'S SPEAKS TO, LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE GOING TO BE BRILLIANT MINDS, BRILLIANT IDEAS COMING OUT OF HERE.

OKAY, LET'S GO TO BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

WE'LL GO BACKWARDS THIS TIME.

YOU ALL GO AHEAD AND GO AGAIN.

OK FOR BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT EXPANSION OF OUR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM, BUT NOT JUST EXPANSION HORIZONTALLY ACROSS MORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, BUT LOOKING EVEN VERTICALLY GOING INTO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND EVEN HIGH SCHOOLS WITH DUAL LANGUAGE, CREATING A NEWCOMER PROGRAM IN SECONDARY, ESPECIALLY TO PROVIDE A SMOOTHER TRANSITION AND TO MEET THOSE SPECIFIC NEEDS, INCREASE AND REFINE RECRUITMENT OF OUR PRE-K POPULATION.

WE DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'RE DOING AN ADEQUATE JOB OF TAPPING INTO ALL THOSE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THERE.

WE HAD SOME WONDERINGS ABOUT HOW WE COULD PROVIDE EQUITABLE, EMERGENT BILINGUAL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IN LIEU OF CLUSTERS AND HOW CAN WE ENHANCE OUR TEACHER PREP PIPELINE TO MEET THOSE BILINGUAL APPLICANT APPLICATION NEEDS? AND HOW CAN WE EXPLORE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE PROGRAMS FOR IMMERSION? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KEEP GOING. YOU ALL CAN GO NEXT.

FOR BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

OUR QUESTION WAS, ARE WE GIVING OUR TEACHERS ENOUGH TIME TO INTERACT WITH EACH STUDENT? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT CLASS SIZE SPACE FOR THEM AND THEN FOR OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS? WHAT ARE THE OVERARCHING GOALS TO REGROW SPANISH IN ORDER TO SUPPORT? I THINK SOMETIMES QUESTIONS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS IDEAS.

THAT GIVES US HOMEWORK.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

KEEP GOING. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? SO OUR FIRST TAKEAWAY WAS STAFF, STAFF, STAFF AND TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DEAL WITH THE GROWING POPULATION, BUT THE SHRINKING WORKFORCE FOR FOR BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

WE WANTED TO LOOK FOR NEW AND AGAIN OUTSIDE THE BOX IDEAS FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS.

AND IN ALL CAPS, WE WANT TO CLOSE THE PERFORMANCE OR LEARNING GAPS FOR OUR EMERGENT BILINGUALS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT. AND AGAIN, WE WE HAVE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE PREVIOUS GROUPS HAVE MENTIONED.

WE TALKED ABOUT A NEWCOMER PROGRAM, POSSIBLY EVEN A NEWCOMER CENTER.

WE'VE LOOKED AT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A PROGRAM AT CIPHER THAT IS DONE SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS.

TRANSPORTATION CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN AS WE DON'T HAVE BILINGUAL PROGRAMS AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

AND SO STUDENTS ARE TRANS YOU KNOW, THEY USE OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM TO MAKE IT TO THEIR CAMPUSES, CERTAINLY TO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

CONTINUING DOWN THAT ROAD AND AND ADDING MORE OPPORTUNITIES AS DR.

[01:40:03]

ALSO CONSIDER PROMOTING WITHIN.

WE HAVE A LOT OF TALENT IN PLANO ISD RIGHT HERE AND THEN LOOKING AT EVEN PAYING FOR CERTAIN CERTIFICATIONS SUCH AS BILINGUAL CERTIFICATION TO HELP OUR PIPELINE OF EDUCATORS.

THANK YOU. THIS TABLE.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE TALKED TO OR TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE UP THERE ALREADY, BUT MOVE TO ONE WAY TO A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS AND THEN ALSO WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF MAYBE OFFERING DUAL LANGUAGE IN SECONDARY WRAPAROUND SERVICES PARTNERSHIPS FOR FAMILIES THAT COULD HELP WITH RETENTION AND LONG TERM SUCCESS FOR OUR OUR BILINGUAL STUDENTS.

WE'D ALSO LIKE TO MITIGATE DENIALS TO OUR PROGRAMS AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR BILINGUAL STUDENTS HAVE PROGRAM CHOICE AND ACCESS TO PROGRAMS THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN AND THAT WE CAN SEE SUCCESS.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS OFFERING WORLD LANGUAGES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL TO HELP GET THAT HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT AND GET THEM STARTED EARLIER AGE.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

THIS TABLE. WE HAD A LOT OF THIS STUFF, LIKE THE NEWCOMER PROGRAM, EXPANSION OF DUAL LANGUAGE, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, SECONDARY AND FAMILY WRAPAROUND SERVICES.

YOU CAN TELL I HAVE THE CFO AT MY TABLE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT, AH, THE DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS ON CAMPUSES, THE RIGHT SIZE, RIGHT IN TERMS OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR CAMPUSES ARE EQUITABLY RESOURCED AND THEY'RE GOOD PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND WE HAVE EFFICIENCIES OF SCALE. ARE WE MAKING SENSE THERE? YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES A K THROUGH 12 BILINGUAL PROGRAM LOOK LIKE? THERE'S A LOT OF DISTRICTS IN TEXAS THAT THAT HAVE THAT.

AS AN EXAMPLE, TALKED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.

I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T HEARD MENTIONED.

WE TALKED ABOUT STAFFING AND WE TALKED ABOUT DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS IN AREAS, IN LOCATIONS LIKE PUERTO RICO, OR YOU CAN LOOK IN THE VALLEY AREAS WHERE WHEN YOU LOOK AT HIGH BILINGUAL POPULATIONS THAT ARE ALSO US CITIZENS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPONSOR IT'S IT'S MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN THAN SPONSORING VISAS FOR FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BILINGUAL, WHO ARE NOT U.S.

CITIZENS. SO PUERTO RICO VALLEY, OTHER AREAS HAVE REALLY HIGH CONCENTRATION OF WELL-EDUCATED BILINGUAL PEOPLE AND EXPANDING OUR RECRUITING THERE. AND THEN WE ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT SIGNAGE IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY IN OUR CAMPUSES AND SIGNAGE ON THOSE CAMPUSES.

AND IF EVERYTHING IS IN ENGLISH AND 90% OF THE KIDS ON THAT CAMPUS SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THAT A WELCOMING CAMPUS TO THOSE PARENTS? OR WE HAVE SOME CAMPUSES WITH REALLY HIGH PORTION OF STUDENTS WHO SPEAK MANDARIN OR HINDI OR, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF LANGUAGES? CAN WE MAKE OUR OUR CAMPUSES MORE WELCOMING FOR PARENTS AND HOME LANGUAGES SPOKEN THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT? GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY. KEEP SENDING.

WE'LL LET YOU START AGAIN.

AND LET'S MOVE NOW TO THE VERY EXCITING TOPIC OF CTE.

OKAY. SO WE PROBABLY ARE A NUMBER ONE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION ON HERE WAS THE BOND MONEY THAT WE PASSED FOR A CTE CENTER, REPURPOSING AN EXISTING PROPERTY FOR EFFICIENCY AND LOOKING VERY HARD AT OUR EXISTING PROPERTIES AND SEE WHAT WOULD MEET THAT REQUIREMENT AND CAN WE REPURPOSE AN EXISTING PROPERTY.

BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT AND SEQUENCING.

AND SO HORIZONTAL IS ACROSS THE DISTRICT, AS I SAID EARLIER, ACROSS THE CLUSTERS, MAKING SURE THAT ARE WE FEEDING EVERYBODY INTO THE CTE CENTER IN A WAY THAT IS EFFICIENT OR ARE WE HAVING REDUNDANT AND CONFUSING OFFERINGS AT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE DISTRICT AND THEN VERTICAL, YOU KNOW, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SEQUENCING BEFORE THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN SETTING THE FOUNDATION THROUGH? CTE KIND OF STUFF, AN ELEMENTARY LIKE STIM OR MATH.

I GUESS MATH IS PART OF STEM.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS REDUNDANT.

DOING RESEARCH, TALKING TO INDUSTRIES, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING RELEVANT OPPORTUNITIES WHERE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET HIGH PAYING JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITY OR IN OUR STATE.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND RELEVANT INDUSTRY SORT OF EITHER SPONSORSHIP, MENTORSHIP, COLLABORATIONS.

WHAT DOES OUR FUTURE FACILITY LOOK LIKE AND AND WHAT'S WHAT'S REALLY INNOVATIVE, BOTH FROM A FACILITY PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS AN ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE.

[01:45:04]

WHAT ARE THE WHAT ARE REALLY THE STAFFING NEEDS FOR A CTE CENTER OR BOTH FOR SORT OF YOUR TECHNICAL EXPERTS WHO ARE TEACHING YOUR CTE COURSES, BUT THEN ALSO SUPPORT STAFF, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOUR COUNSELING STAFF OR SITE DIRECTOR SRO, THIS SORT OF THING.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT CTE AT OUR TABLE, SO THIS WILL BE PRETTY QUICK.

BUT FIRST OF ALL, EVERYTHING THAT WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WAS TALKING ABOUT HIGH WAGE, HIGH DEMAND JOBS AND MAKING SURE WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR KIDS THROUGH WORKFORCE.

AND SO ONE AREA THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT CAREER EXPLORATION KIND OF MAYBE OR BRINGING BACK THE SURVEY CLASS THAT WE USED TO HAVE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT GRADUATION PLANS, THAT WE HAVE A SIX YEAR GRADUATION PLAN FOR STUDENTS.

AND THEN WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD COURSES LIKE PRINCIPALS COURSES IN EIGHTH GRADE TO HELP GET THAT HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT? YOU KNOW, SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD LOOK AT FOR THE PROGRAMING IS, YOU KNOW.

PROF. COM WORLD LANGUAGES HEALTH LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT TO ALLOW FOR PROGRAMS A STUDY A LITTLE EASIER TO GRAB WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND SENIOR HIGH LEVEL AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT CT PROGRAMS ARE NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT PARTNERSHIPS AND SO WHAT COULD OUR PARTNERSHIPS SOME EXAMPLES YOU KNOW LOOKING AT AUTO TECH, PARTNERING WITH TOYOTA GRAPHIC DESIGN, SHUTTERFLY, OUR TONY AND GUY PROGRAM WITH COSMETOLOGY, CULINARY HUB, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT MAKING SURE THAT OUR KIDS HAVE THAT INDUSTRY CONNECTION EITHER THROUGH WORK BASED LEARNING INTERNSHIPS AND OUR TEACHERS HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THEM AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE PREPARING KIDS FOR THE WORKFORCE INCREASE AND EXPAND AND ADD 3 TO 4 YEAR PROGRAMS A STUDY, AND THEN LEVERAGE THE CTE CENTER TO CREATE MORE ROOM AT OUR CAMPUSES.

SO, YES, WE'RE GOING TO PULL SOME PROGRAMS OVER AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ALLOW US TO EXPAND SOME PROGRAMS ON THE HOME CAMPUSES.

LEVEL ADVANCED COURSES AGAIN TO THAT GPA.

SO IT ALIGNS WITH ADVANCED ACADEMICS.

AND THEN AN IMPORTANT PIECE IN ALL OF THIS WORK IS TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE MESSAGING AND MARKETING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND PARENT PLANNING.

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE PLANNING IS THAT WE'RE REALLY ON POINT WITH OUR MARKETING AND MESSAGE ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES.

AND THEN NINE THROUGH 12TH GRADE COURSE OF STUDY, GRADUATION PLANS, ENDORSEMENTS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND THEN MAKING SURE WE'RE SERVING ALL STUDENTS BILINGUAL SPECIAL POPS, SPECIAL EDUCATION.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

K NEXT TABLE.

ALL RIGHT. I THINK YOU GUYS WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR SOME OF THE SAME HERE, BUT AGAIN, CREATING MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIPS WITH THEM.

PLANO LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY HERE AND PLAYING TO MAXIMIZE ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS HERE IN PLANO CERTAINLY AND EXPANSION OF THE DUAL CREDITS TEAM LEADING TO THOSE LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO CERTIFICATIONS EXPAND CTE OPPORTUNITIES INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL.

LOOKING AT CREDIT FOR OUR STUDENTS THERE AS WELL, CONSIDERING BLOCK SCHEDULING K THROUGH K THROUGH FIVE, SUPPORT AND VISION TAKING THAT DOWN.

HE SAID. CONSIDER.

CAN. DREAMS ARE FREE.

DREAMS ARE FREE. CONSIDER BLOCK SCHEDULING K THROUGH FIVE SUPPORT AND VISION I DREAM PROGRAM FOR SIXTH AND SEVENTH.

CERTAINLY MORE CAREER EXPLORATION AND AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, INCLUDING INCLUDE INTERNSHIPS OR APPRENTICESHIPS.

WITH ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS TARGET HIGH DEMAND HIGH WAGE CAREERS AS WE'VE ALREADY HEARD.

CERTAINLY THAT VERTICAL ALIGNMENT FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AS THEY ENTER OUR DISTRICT FROM THE PRE-K, EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PRE-K. BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY? OH, PARTNER WITH WHAT? HOLY. THE HOLY GRAIL.

SCIENCE LEARNING CENTER.

I GUESS IT'S OUR TURN.

WE TALKED ABOUT BIGGER, BOLDER AND BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR KIDS.

WE TALKED ABOUT DREAMING BIG AND BEING, YOU KNOW, OFFERING THINGS THAT ARE ONLY OFFERED IN PLANO SO THAT WE'RE GROUNDBREAKING INSTEAD OF WORKING FROM BEHIND.

[01:50:04]

20 YEARS AGO, NONE OF US KNEW WHAT A ZOOM CALL OR BITCOIN WAS.

AND SO WE WE HAVE TO BE ON THE CUTTING EDGE AND STAY AHEAD.

WE TALKED ABOUT EARLY AND OFTEN EXPOSURE AND EDUCATION, MAYBE OFFERING SUMMER CTE PROGRAMS, PROJECTS FOR ELEMENTARY MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS, GETTING THEM EXCITED ABOUT THAT, EXPANDING FROM FOUR YEAR PLANS TO SIX YEAR PLANS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

WE TALKED ABOUT MARKETING AND WE TALKED ABOUT ALSO PARTNERSHIPS.

SO, YOU KNOW, CAN WE SEE OUR AUTO TECH STUDENTS DOING REPAIRS FOR STAFF? CAN WE DO WE SEE OUR SPORTS MEDICINE KIDS? DO, YOU KNOW, WORKING A GAME WITH THE TRAINERS? DO WE SEE, YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY WORKING AS THE PROFESSIONALS IN OUR SYSTEM? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT TABLE. YES.

WELL, WE WE FOCUS ON OUR DESTINATION STANDALONE CTE CENTER.

AND THE THING WAS THAT WE WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE QUESTION, HOW WOULD IT OPERATE.

SO IF CONCERNING BUSSING SCHEDULES FOR IS PLAYING WITH SOME SENIOR CONCERNING FINANCIAL COST OF RECRUITING PERSONNEL FOR THE STANDALONE CENTER AND CONCERNING FINANCIAL COSTS OF THE PROGRAMS AND STARTING A STANDALONE CENTER FOR KIDS? THAT'S IT. LAST TABLE.

OH, I LOVE Y'ALL ARE GETTING UP.

THANK YOU. BUT I'LL NEED YOU TO TURN JUST SLIGHTLY.

FOR US. WE SAID WE HAVING TO DEAL WITH EXPLORING AND AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING EXPANDING SPECIALIZED HIGH DEMAND, UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH WAGE OPPORTUNITIES, AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, OUT LIKE CYBERSECURITY ARCHITECTURE, GIS, AERONAUTICAL STUFF HAVING TO DO WITH BROADENING, WELDING, HVAC, PLUMBING, ALL OF THAT STUFF ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

AND THEN JUST LIKE OTHERS OF YOU HAD MENTIONED, THE NOTION OF GROWING THE FOOTPRINT OF CTE EVEN INTO OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, MAKING CT, CT OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE, MAKING CONNECTIONS TO THE CAREER PATHS BOTH IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE YOU NOW TO SPECIAL EDUCATION.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

SO FOR OUR CONSIDERATIONS, EXPLORE DISTANT LEARNING AND DISTANT LEARNING TEACHERS TO MEET THE STAFFING NEEDS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY FACING. EXPLORE ONLINE TOOLS TO MEET STUDENT NEEDS.

WE'RE REALLY WANT TO ELEVATE THAT.

AN EXAMPLE IS AT X DOT ORG, SO WE GAVE AN EXAMPLE AND SOME WONDERINGS.

HOW CAN WE UTILIZE SPED STAFF IN UNITS MORE EFFICIENTLY ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND REALLY ENHANCE THE PIPELINE WITH OUR TEACHER PREP PROGRAM TO REALLY TARGET AND GROW OUR FUTURE TEACHERS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION? WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

NEXT FOR US FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, WE ARE THINKING ABOUT FACILITIES.

ARE OUR FACILITIES ADEQUATE FOR OUR STUDENTS? WHAT ARE THE GOALS FOR FACILITIES? AND THEN WE'RE WE ARE YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SPREAD IS NOT WELL FUNDED, WHEREAS THE GOAL FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR SPREAD, ARE WE LOOKING TO CHANGE WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOR SPREAD? AND THAT'S OUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

OKAY, NEXT. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT STAFF AND GROW YOUR OWN PROGRAMS AND WAYS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING UP WITH THAT.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DYSLEXIA AND KIND OF THE FUTURE OF THE DYSLEXIA SPECIALISTS WE TALKED ABOUT.

APPROPRIATE EVALUATION AND PLACEMENT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND REALLY LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT AUDITS TO SEE HOW WE CAN IMPROVE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, EXTENDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN THE AREA OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AS WELL.

THANK YOU. NEXT TABLE.

IN KEEPING WITH SOME OF THE STAFFING COMMENTS, ONE THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS DUAL CERTIFICATION OF TEACHERS AND PARTNERING WITH INDUSTRIES FOR GRANT.

SO IF TEACHERS ARE CERTIFIED IN ENGLISH, THEY THEN THEY CAN ALSO BE CERTIFIED IN SPECIAL EDUCATION AND COULD HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE STAFFING SHORTAGES THAT WE CERTAINLY SEE ACROSS THE NATION WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION.

SO INNOVATIVE STAFFING SOLUTIONS CONSIDERING ALSO STIPEND STIPENDS FOR OUR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF MEMBERS.

AND THEN AGAIN, A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR, CERTAINLY LOOKING AT OTHER EXEMPLARS ACROSS THE STATE OR CERTAINLY EVEN OUTSIDE OF

[01:55:01]

AND LET ME SEE.

THAT'S CORRECT. TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND GENERAL EDUCATION, STAFF MEMBERS START LOOKING AT THE PARTNERSHIP AND CERTAINLY LEARNING TO BEST SERVE OUR STUDENTS.

AND JUST LIKE AGAIN, THE OTHER GROUPS HAD MENTIONED FACILITY REVIEWS TO ENSURE THAT OUR FACILITIES ARE ADEQUATE FOR ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THEN FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT NEEDS FOR OUR STUDENTS AS THEY ALL HAVE UNIQUE NEEDS SOMETIMES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT TABLE. ALL RIGHT.

SO SPECIAL EDUCATION REALIGN PROGRAMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

BY NEED VERSUS, YOU KNOW, PROGRAM BY NEED VERSUS PROGRAM BY SPACE CONSIDERATION FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, TRAINING AND CLASSROOM DESIGN FOR PROGRAMS. CONSIDER PROGRAMING WITH BUILD, DESIGN, EVALUATE AND AUDIT TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.

EXPANDING OFFERINGS FOR SOLOMON'S CENTER CONTINUE TO IMPROVE MONITORING, MONITORING OF STUDENTS BETWEEN TRANSITIONS IN SCHOOLS, AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PARENT SUPPORTS, PARTNERSHIPS AND EDUCATIONS FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, WE HAD A COUPLE OF THOSE, INCLUDING THE PARTNERSHIPS FOR SOLOMON CENTER.

AND SORT OF GOING BACK TO THE COMMENT MADE EARLIER ABOUT CTE AND SPECIAL EDUCATION AND ENSURING THAT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ARE ON A PATHWAY TO RELEVANT WORK.

SO WE ASKED SORT OF DO OUR SPACES MAKE SENSE FOR THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS IN TERMS OF CALM DOWN SPACES, FOCUS ROOMS, AREAS WHERE SPECIALIZED INSTRUCTION FOR DIFFERENT KIDS COULD BE MADE OR ACCOMMODATION LIKE TESTING SPACES FOR KIDS THAT YOU KNOW, NEED CERTAIN ACCOMMODATIONS FOR WHATEVER REASON, LIKE.

DO OUR SPACES STILL MAKE SENSE? WHAT ARE OUR TRENDS AND OUR NEEDS? SO SPECIAL EDUCATION AND 504 ID ELEMENTARY MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL.

WHAT ARE OUR TRENDS? WHAT ARE OUR NEEDS AND HOW DOES THAT INFORM THESE DECISIONS? HOW DO WE GET MORE TEACHERS, WHICH I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE EVERYBODY ELSE HAD? ARE WE UTILIZING THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL MODELS? AND SO I THINK THAT'S GOING BACK TO LISA'S POINT ABOUT THE CURRICULUM AUDITS AND LOOKING AT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION AUDIT AND AND EVERYTHING ELSE, LIKE THE WAY THAT WE'RE SERVING AUTISTIC KIDS OR THE WAY THAT WE'RE SERVING DYSLEXIC KIDS OR THE ORIGINAL DAY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF OR ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS. ARE WE ARE WE USING THE LATEST PEDAGOGY TO INFORM LATEST PRACTICES AND PEDAGOGY TO INFORM OUR INSTRUCTION MODELS? TRANSPORTATION? YOU KNOW, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE.

I THINK WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION LISTED ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR GIANT STICKY NOTES HERE.

BUT THIS IS ONE THAT WE HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE TRANSPORTATION NEED FOR SPEED.

AND SO HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO SERVE THAT RELIABLY, EQUITABLY, AFFORDABLY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE WE ALREADY COVERED.

SO THE RELEVANT WORK, SOLOMON CENTER SEAT CERTIFICATION FOR OUR SPED STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. SO HOW YOU GOT IT? STAY STANDING FOR OUR LAST ONE, WHICH IS TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK OK PATRICK I HOPE I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY WITH ALL THIS.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO POINT TO MY MAN, JOHNNY HILL HERE THAT SOME OF THESE ARE HIS IDEAS, SO HE'S EITHER DOING YOU A SOLID OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE UPSET WITH US.

SO DO WE NEED TO CONSOLIDATE SOME OF OUR TECHNOLOGY SPACES FOR EFFICIENCIES, REDUNDANCIES, PRACTICALITIES? SO WHERE WE HAVE SERVERS, WHERE WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT, WHERE WE HAVE ALL THESE THINGS, ARE THEY IN GOOD LOCATIONS? ARE THEY INSECURE LOCATIONS? DO THEY HAVE BACKUP POWER? DO WE HAVE REDUNDANCIES THAT ARE SUFFICIENT FOR THE OPERATION OF AN ORGANIZATION THE SIZE OF PLANO ISD ENSURING THAT WE HAVE RELEVANT TECHNOLOGY FOR USE IN STUDENTS CAREERS? SO LAB EQUIPMENT, SCIENCE EQUIPMENT, ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT, THE EQUIPMENT? WHAT ARE THE TECHNOLOGY NEEDS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED FOR THE KIDS TOWARDS EDUCATION AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE MEETING THOSE NEEDS? THANK YOU. NEXT.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE STARTED OFF WITH LEARNING SPACE FRAMEWORK.

SO TEACHING TOOLS, LEARNING TOOLS, THE CLASSROOM DESIGN, AND THAT CAN ALL KIND OF GO INTO DIRECT INSTRUCTION, SMALL GROUP, INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND PROJECTS, MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING THEIR NEEDS.

INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS, INTERACT OR PARTNER WITH LIKE CORPORATE.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, T IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH THEM ON SOME TECHNOLOGY? MAKE SURE THAT WE BUILD SECURITY AND SAFETY AND WE'RE STAYING ON TOP OF THAT AND THEN INCREASE ACCESS AT HOME TO APPS, WI FI CURRICULUM, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, TO

[02:00:02]

AGAIN, THIS KIND OF TIES INTO THE ONE ABOVE, BUT BEING MOBILE IN THE CLASSROOM AND THEN ALSO TO HOME AND THEN FOR PARENTS AND STAFF, I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT LIKE A ONE STOP SHOP TO ENTERPRISE TOOLS AS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THINGS AND EFFICIENT WEBSITE AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CLICKS TO GET THERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT. AGAIN, LOOKING AT MOBILE DEVICES FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE UP TO DATE IN THAT AREA.

ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

WE DISCUSSED A REDUNDANT NETWORKING PER FACILITY TEACHER INPUT BEFORE DECISIONS ARE MADE FOR CERTAIN DEVICES AND TECHNOLOGY.

CERTAINLY TABLETOP CHARGERS TOWERS FOR EACH CLASS, LMS FOR CONSISTENT LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO BUILD SOME CONSISTENCY.

WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS, CONTINUE EXPLORING VIRTUAL OPTIONS, INCREASE BLENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND MOBILE FURNITURE COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE.

AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING AND STAYING CURRENT FOR SECURITY.

USE OF TECHNOLOGY, ALL THE TOOLS, EVEN BEYOND COMPUTERS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THINGS, SCIENCE PROBES, LANGUAGE LABS, SECURITY CAMERAS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT.

HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE YET.

KEYBOARDING SKILLS FOR OUR YOUNGER STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE STAYING CURRENT WITH THAT.

KEEPING KIDS SAFE ONLINE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION AND PLANNING WITH OUR ROLLOUT OF POWER SCHOOL.

THANK YOU. FOR OUR GROUP, WE FOCUS ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

WHERE OF TECHNOLOGY ARE WE STANDING ON TOP OF THE CAPACITY FOR A ROBUST TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK SYSTEM.

DO WE REPLACE THE WHOLE DATA CENTER? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR SOFT AND HARD SYSTEMS? ARE WE RECRUITING AND RETAINING QUALITY PERSONNEL FOR THE DEPARTMENT? THOSE WERE OUR IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY.

THANK YOU. AND LAST.

SO. SO WE ALSO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED, BEGINNING WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE REDESIGN.

DESIGNING FOR INCREASED BANDWIDTH CAPACITY.

THINKING ABOUT THINGS SUCH AS DISASTER RECOVERY.

EXPLORING EVERYTHING FROM DATA CENTER TO EDGE.

TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION CLOUD COMPUTING.

HOW DO WE REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT OF OUR DATA CENTER ENVIRONMENT FROM A SECURITY STANDPOINT? SO MAKING SURE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE ITSELF IS ROBUST ENOUGH TO HANDLE WHATEVER THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT CAN THROW AT IT.

THEN FROM THERE WE MOVED TO THE CLASSROOM, LOOKING AT THE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY REDESIGN, REIMAGINING EVERYTHING WITH THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE IN MIND, HEAVY AUDIOVISUAL SCENARIOS FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

BUT LOOKING AT EVERY ASPECT, BOTH FROM THE LEARNING SPACES AS WELL AS THE TOOLS THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

AND THEN FROM THERE, KEEPING IN MIND THE NEED FOR INCREASED TEACHER STAFF, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING FOR THOSE TOOLS THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED IN THE CLASSROOM.

LOOKING AT THE 1 TO 1 PROGRAM BASICALLY TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY TO.

CONSIDER WHAT THE NEXT ITERATION OF OUR TECHNOLOGY MOBILE PLATFORM WILL LOOK AT.

AND BASICALLY FROM THAT STANDPOINT, WE'RE THINKING WHAT ARE THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF EACH USER, BOTH STAFF, STUDENT, EVEN STUDENTS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS VERSUS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL TYPE SCENARIO? ARE THERE SOME UNIQUE NEEDS BASED OFF STUDENT LEVELS OR CURRICULUM OR WHATEVER THE STUDENT MAY BE USING? BUT MAKING SURE WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE EXPLORE WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE 1 TO 1 MOBILE PROGRAM WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN FROM THERE CAN WE EXPLORE, YOU KNOW, TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS TO IMPACT INSTRUCTION.

I THINK SOMEONE MENTIONED LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, MAKING SURE THAT EVERY TEACHER HAS CONTENT AND

[02:05:01]

CONSIDERING VIRTUAL PLATFORMS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF, YOU KNOW, OUR HOMEBOUND.

AND THAT'S NOT JUST HOMEBOUND FOR STUDENTS.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU HAVE TEACHERS THAT ARE HOMEBOUND BUT STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER INSTRUCTION.

IF WE HAVE THOSE PLATFORMS IN PLACE, THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD MAKE A HUGE IMPACT THERE.

THAT'S EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, I WROTE FAST AND FURIOUSLY AS I LISTENED TO THE MAIN THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP.

THERE WAS A LOT OF CONSISTENCY.

I TRIED TO CHECK THOSE, BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING TO BE TAKING ALL OF YOUR NOTES WITH US SO THAT WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL GUIDE OUR NEXT LEVEL OF WORK, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU SHARED.

SO THAT TAKES US TO OUR NEXT STEPS.

AND ROSS MAY WANT TO SPEAK MORE TO THIS.

I KNOW I MENTIONED IT IN THE BEGINNING THAT WE WON'T BE LEAVING TONIGHT WITH THE PLAN.

WE'RE LEAVING TONIGHT WITH A LOT OF WORK.

AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT ONCE WE GET A CHANCE TO SYNTHESIZE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID.

THERE MAY BE SOME GROUPS THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK TO GIVE DIRECTION TO WHERE WE THINK WE NEED TO GO NEXT.

SOME OF YOU MAY BE INVOLVED WITH THAT.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ALL THOSE NEXT STEPS UNTIL WE ACTUALLY DIG THROUGH ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE TONIGHT, AS WELL AS THE WORK THAT MR. RIVERS AND HIS TEAM IS GOING TO BE WORKING ON, ON THE FACILITY AND ARCHITECTURAL SIDE WHENEVER WE START TRYING TO MARRY.

WHAT'S GOING ON FACILITY WISE IN YOUR DISTRICT WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT, WHICH IS THE ACADEMIC SIDE AND THE STAFFING SIDE OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IN PLANO ISD.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN, BUT IT MIGHT BE SOON AND IT MIGHT BE SOONER THAN YOU THINK, BECAUSE WE'LL BE WORKING AS HARD AS WE CAN TO TRY TO START MAKING SENSE OF THE WORK THAT'S DONE TONIGHT.

SO I KNOW THAT MY MY TWO BEST FRIENDS RIGHT NOW, MR. JOHNNY HILL AND DR.

THERESA WILLIAMS, ARE ARE MAKING US THINK ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS AS WE CONTINUE TO DESIGN THIS EXPERIENCE FOR YOU THROUGH CURATION TO GET TO THAT ROAD MAP.

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

ROSS DR. WILLIAMS PRESIDENT STOLI WHO WOULD LIKE THE MIC? JUST REAL QUICK. SHE MENTIONED THIS IS PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE.

TONIGHT IS JUST STEP ONE.

WE'VE GOT DEMOGRAPHIC INFO, WE'VE GOT FACILITIES INFO.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS TYING TOGETHER TO THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

SO AT THE END, THE YOU TRULY DO HAVE A ROADMAP AND A PLAN MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT INCORPORATES ALL THESE IDEAS, THESE QUESTIONS.

THAT IS THE END GOAL.

SO JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH WORK WE HAVE TO DO.

SO THAT'S BUT LIKE I SAID, AT THE END OF THE AT THE END OF ALL THIS, ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PIECES WILL COME TOGETHER AND MAKE SENSE.

WELL, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S WORK AND THE LEADERSHIP HERE IN THIS FIRST NIGHT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING JOURNEY, I THINK, FOR US ALL.

AND I THINK ON THIS LAST TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK, I TOLD OUR TABLE THAT THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO SAY IS KEEP PATRICK AND MATT, PERIOD.

AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED FOR TECHNOLOGY.

AND I THINK HE PROVED THAT THAT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT ROAD.

SO ANYTHING ELSE, TERESA, FROM YOU? ALL RIGHT, GANG, THIS IS GOING TO BE FINE.

DREAM OVER THE NEXT MONTH, BOARD MEMBERS, AS YOU GO OFF INTO YOUR HOLIDAY STAFF, AS YOU GO OFF, THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO START TAKING WHAT WE LEARNED HERE, HEARD HERE TONIGHT, START DREAMING ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE'LL TAKE IT.

SO THAT IS IT.

IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS OR ANY OBJECTIONS FROM THE BOARD, THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.

THE TIME IS 8:14 P.M..

THANKS, EVERYBODY.
