THANK YOU PRESIDENT BENDER IT'S OUR PLEASURE THIS EVENING TO BRING TO THE BOARD AND TO THE AUDIENCE THE NEXT PHASE OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AS YOU'LL RECALL AT OUR LAST MEETING THE BOARD TOOK ACTION IN ADOPTING SOME OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE NEW STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH INCLUDES THE PLANO ISD THE VISION STATEMENT WHICH IS COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE DEDICATED TO CARING POWERED BY LEARNING PLANO ISD PROUD AND ALSO WE ADOPTED BELIEF STATEMENTS AND THEN THE STUDENT DEVELOPED MISSION STATEMENT OF OUR PLANO ISD LEARNING COMMUNITY WILL EDUCATE INSPIRE AND EMPOWER EVERY STUDENT TO ACTIVATE THEIR UNIQUE POTENTIAL IN A DYNAMIC WORLD. AND THIS EVENING WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BRING TO YOU SOME OF THE MORE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN THE ACTION TEAMS AND THROUGH THE PROCESS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK OF THE PILLARS. SO EACH ONE OF OUR CABINET MEMBERS IS GOING TO EXPLAIN IN GREATER DETAIL HOW WE PLAN ON MOVING THE WORK FORWARD. AND SO THIS IS THE VERY FIRST STEP IN OPERATIONALIZING THE STRATEGIC PLAN. AND SO WE'RE TAKING IT FROM A VERY BIG GLOBAL PICTURE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND THEN BRINGING IT DOWN INTO THE DISTRICT LEVEL OF HOW DO WE HOW DO WE BRING THAT INTO OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR CLASSROOMS. AND SO AS ONE OF THE SLIDES IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION SAID FROM THE BOARDROOM TO THE CLASSROOM AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE DO THAT. SARA I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. IS THIS A PROPOSAL TO BE APPROVED. NO THE ACTION PLANS DO NOT GET APPROVED. OKAY. SO WE APPROVED THIS IS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. YES. SO YOU'VE APPROVED THE PARTS THAT REQUIRED APPROVAL AND NOW WE'LL CREATE THE ACTION PLANS AND START MOVING THOSE FORWARD. AND ONE OF THE NEXT TASKS OF OUR WORK IS TO TAKE THESE BIG PLANS AND SPREAD THEM OUT OVER THREE TO FIVE YEARS OF WORK. SO WE WILL START PLANNING THE NEW PLANS OF WORK FOR THE FUTURE AND I'LL ASK DR. HASLEY TO START OFF. START US OFF WITH PILLAR NUMBER 1. THANK YOU MS. BONSER. SO PILLAR 1 IS OUR LEARNING AND TEACHING TOPIC AREA AND OBJECTIVE FOR THIS PILLAR IS ALL STUDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A CULTURE OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS COUPLED WITH AN ENGAGING INNOVATIVE PERSONALIZED AND SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND THIS PILLARS OBJECTIVE WAS BROKEN INTO TWO STRATEGIES. THE FIRST 1.1.1 AND THAT TEAM WAS LED BY TALLE GOMEZ OUR ACTION TEAM LEADER THE STRATEGY HERE IS TO EMPOWER EDUCATORS TO DESIGN LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT. THAT STRATEGY THEN BY THE ACTION TEAM IS BROKEN INTO TWO ACTION PLANS AND THE SPECIFIC RESULTS LISTED HERE FOR THE TWO PLANS ARE PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE AND SYSTEMATIC PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PLAN FOCUSED ON BUILDING CAPACITY SO THAT TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE ENGAGING INNOVATIVE AND DIFFERENTIATED[00:05:02]
INSTRUCTION. AND THE SECOND PLAN IS TO PROVIDE RESEARCH BASED RESOURCES AND TOOLS SO THAT TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY FACILITATE ENGAGING AND INNOVATIVE DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION THEN THE SECOND ACTION PLAN STRATEGY THAT CAME FROM PILLAR LEARNING AND TEACHING WAS LED BY LAURIE TAYLOR ACTION TEAM LEADER IN THE STRATEGY 1.2 IS EQUIP EDUCATORS TO CONTINUALLY ASSESS LEARNING USING A VARIETY OF METHODS TO DETERMINE NEXT STEPS IN THE LEARNING PROGRESSION THIS STRATEGY ALSO IS BROKEN INTO TWO ACTION PLANS AND THOSE RESULTS ARE DESIGN AND PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE AND SYSTEMATIC PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PLAN FOCUSED ON BUILDING A DISTRICT WIDE COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF ASSESSMENT PRACTICES AND SECONDLY TO DESIGN AND PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT EQUIPS EDUCATORS TO ANALYZE REFLECT ON AND RESPOND TO EVIDENCE OF STUDENT LEARNING. THE BOARD HAS QUESTIONS AS WE GO THROUGH ANY OF THE PILLARS. YOU CAN ASK NOW OR YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL THE END AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. EITHER DR. HASLEY OR THE ACTION TEAM LEADERS ARE IN THE AUDIENCE AND ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE STRATEGIES AND WHAT THE ACTION PLANS REVOLVE AROUND. JUST FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY. EACH ACTION PLAN 1.2.1 HAS EXTRA STEPS. LIKE THIS IT HAS SIX STEPS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. SO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS YOU'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT YOU'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT OK AM I GOING TO DO THIS IN YEAR 1, 2, 3, 4 OR 5 AND THEN YOU WILL FORMULATE THAT INTO THE PLAN OF WORK. THAT'S GREAT. OK SO WHAT'S THAT. WHAT IS THE TIME PERIOD OF TAKING THESE OF COMING UP WITH THE CALENDAR ESSENTIALLY. SO THE REST OF THIS SPRING AND THROUGH THE SUMMER THE TEAMS WILL BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER TO WORK ON CHUNKING THE PLANS INTO YEARS AND THEN STARTING TO DEVELOP THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO OF THE PLAN OF WORK. SO. SO IN AUGUST WHEN YOU COME BACK AND YOU START TALKING ABOUT THE YEAR'S WORK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH AN IDEA AS TO WHAT THESE WHERE THESE ACTION STEPS FALL WITHIN THE LARGER TIME FRAME. YES. OK AND THAT GIVES YOU TIME OVER THE YEARS TO THEN MODIFY.RIGHT. YOU KNOW MAYBE STEP ONE AND TWO TOOK PLACE IN YEAR ONE IN YEAR TWO THREE FOUR MIGHT LOOK SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT. RIGHT. AND THE GOAL IS THAT OUR FACILITATORS COME BACK ONCE A YEAR AND WE INVITE THE STRATEGIC PLAN TEAM BACK ONE TIME A YEAR TO LOOK AT THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND DISCUSS ANY CHANGES MODIFICATIONS OR HAVING TO BE FLEXIBLE WITH THINGS MOVING. SOME THINGS MAY GET ACCELERATED SOME THINGS MAY GET MOVED AROUND. SO WE'LL COME BACK ANNUALLY WITH THAT WHEN WILL BE. OR IS IT ALREADY AVAILABLE THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT. REALLY. WE DID NOT MAKE IT AVAILABLE YET BECAUSE WE WANTED THE BOARD TO SEE IT FIRST. OK SO ONCE YOU'VE SEEN IT THIS EVENING THEN WE'LL PUSH THAT OUT. THANKS. SO I HAVE ONE QUESTION ON THE IT ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL TAKE PLACE ON A CONTINUUM THROUGH FIVE YEARS AND SOME STEPS MIGHT BE COMPLETED IN NINE MONTHS SOME MIGHT BE 15 MONTHS. SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A CALENDAR AND THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT THROUGH THE SUMMER TO GET THAT WORK. OK. THANKS.
OVER TO DAN ARMSTRONG. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IN PILLAR 2 WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT LIFE READY. IT WAS DONE WITH MYSELF AND SUSAN MODISETTE. THE OBJECTIVE IS PLANO ISD GRADUATES WILL POSSESS THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE THAT ENABLE THEM TO BE LIFE READY CITIZENS AND LEADERS IN THE GLOBAL WORKFORCE. STRATEGY 2.1 WAS THE ACTION TEAM LEADERS MATT FRY HE'S NOT IN THE AUDIENCE AT THE MOMENT BUT FIELDING HIS QUESTIONS ALSO STRATEGY 2.1 IS TO ENGAGE OUR LEARNING COMMUNITY TO DEFINE STUDENT SUCCESS IN TERMS OF LIFE READINESS TRAITS AND COMPETENCIES AND THAT ACTION TEAM HAD ONE PLAN WHICH IS TO DESIGN A PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE FRAMEWORK WITH DEFINED GRADE LEVEL LEARNER PROFILES THAT ARTICULATE STUDENT SUCCESS THROUGH LIFE READY SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES IMPORTANT FOR STUDENT SUCCESS. DAN THERE WAS A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION IN NSBA. IT WAS ONE OF THE CONCLUDING SESSIONS PRESENTED BY AN H.R.
PROFESSIONAL THAT HAD REALLY GOOD INFORMATION ON BOTH SOFT SKILL AND HARD SKILLS. I KNOW KATRINA WAS TAKING A LOT OF NOTES. I'M HOPING. I'M SORRY. THERESA SO TAKING A LOT OF NOTES I'M HOPING THAT WILL ALSO HELP SHAPE THESE PLANS MOVING FORWARD
[00:10:01]
SINCE IT ACTUALLY CAME FROM AN INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION THAT DID A LOT OF SURVEYING.ACTUALLY SHARED THAT WITH THERESA AND I SHARED THAT WITH BETH BROCKMAN AS WELL. SO WE WE HAVE THAT SPEAKER'S INFORMATION. YEAH WAS GREAT. HE THINKS KIDS NEED TO WRITE MORE. TO WRITE MORE. THE SKILL OF WRITING. ALL RIGHT IN ACTION ON THE STRATEGY 2.2 IS HEADED UP BY SHARON BRADLEY AND THE STRATEGY 2.2 WE'RE GOING TO INTEGRATE AND AUTHENTICALLY EMBED LIFE READINESS SKILLS STANDARDS ALONGSIDE STATE STANDARDS AND THIS TEAM CAME UP WITH TWO ACTION PLANS.
THE FIRST ACTION PLAN IS TO DEVELOP THE PLANO ISD PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE FRAMEWORK LEARNER PROFILES TO BUILD AUTHENTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND A LIFE READY CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT. AND THE SECOND ACTION PLAN 2.2.2 IS TO BUILD STAFF CAPACITY AND ENGAGE COMMUNITY TO TEACH AND MODEL LIFE READINESS SKILLS THROUGH DAILY INTERACTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES. IN ORDER TO HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN LIFE I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THAT. I OFTEN GET ASKED WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR STUDENTS WITH REGARD TO LIFE SKILLS AND FINANCIAL LITERACY. CAN CAN CAN YOU HELP ME ANSWER THAT QUESTION SO THAT WHEN I'M OUT THERE ANSWERING THAT I HAVE AN ARTICULATE ANSWER. WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR THAT. THERE ARE SOME FINANCIAL LITERACY STANDARDS IN SOME OF THE GRADE LEVELS. SO THOSE ARE PART OF THE CURRICULUM THAT WE HAD. I COULD GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT EXACTLY WHICH LEVELS. OK SO WE'RE NOT I MEAN WE CAN'T MANDATE THEM TO TAKE A PARTICULAR CLASS BUT WE'RE EMBEDDING IT IN THE CURRICULUM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT VARIOUS GRADE LEVELS BECAUSE I GET ASKED THAT QUESTION. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH DOLLARS AND CENTS AS TO WHETHER TO MANDATE THAT CLASS. RIGHT. WE ELECTED NOT TO. WE HAVE A CLASS THAT'S AVAILABLE. WE HAVE DOLLARS AND CENTS. I MEAN MY KIDS ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE TAKEN IT. BUT WE WE DISCUSSED AS A BOARD AS TO WHETHER TO MAKE THAT MANDATORY. WE ELECTED NOT TO AT THE TIME JUST I THINK BECAUSE OF CONSTRAINTS ON OTHER ELECTIVES. RIGHT. WELL AND YOU NOTICE THAT IN THE STRATEGY OF THE 2.1.1 WHEN YOU GO INTO THE DEEPER DETAILS OF THE ACTION PLAN IT DOES MENTION IT IN NUMBER FIVE IT WILL BE AS A PART OF THAT IS FINANCIAL CREATIVITY AND CIVICALLY LITERATE. SO ALL THOSE FALL UNDER THOSE UMBRELLAS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED AS WE MOVE FORWARD. DID YOU SAY FINANCIAL CREATIVITY. FINANCIALLY.
CREATE. OH PUT A COMMA AFTER THAT FINANCIALLY, CREATIVELY AND CIVICALLY LITERATE. NO NO FINANCIAL CREATIVITY. WE HAVE AUDITORS FOR THAT. I WILL SAY WHEN. WHEN THE STRATEGIC PLAN ACTION TEAMS MET AT THEIR SECOND RETREAT THIS PILLAR HAD THE MOST CONVERSATION AROUND IT. AND IF YOU Y'ALL WERE TAMMY AND MISSY IN THE ROOM THE TEAM REALLY TOOK ALL THE INPUT FROM THAT DAY AND WENT BACK AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOTICE LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IS WE TOOK SEL AND WE DID THAT NOW IS A PART OF THE LIFE READINESS PIECE BUT IT'S EMBEDDED IN WHAT DO WE WANT TO GRADUATE TO HAVE AND THAT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PIECE IS A PART OF THAT PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE. AND SO IT GOES ALONGSIDE SOME OF THOSE OTHER LIFE READY SKILLS THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT. AND SO IT'S DESIGNING WHAT THAT PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE LOOKS LIKE THEN DEVELOPING AUTHENTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS THAT SUPPORT LIFE READINESS AND THEN TRAINING THE TEACHERS TO TO IMPLEMENT THAT INTO THE CLASSROOM. SO IT KIND OF BROADEN THE LENS IN A DIFFERENT UMBRELLA WHICH WE THINK WAS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAD HOPED FOR WHEN WE WERE WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER. PILLAR 3. BETH BROCKMAN IS A WESTERN STATES BENCHMARKING CONSORTIUM TODAY WITH DR. WILLIAMS SO DR. COOPER IS GOING TO STEP IN AND TAKE ON HUMAN RESOURCES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PILLAR 3 TALENT ACQUISITION SUPPORT AND GROWTH AND OUR OBJECTIVE FOR THAT THAT PILLAR TO ENSURE A QUALITY SCHOOL SYSTEM PLANO ISD WILL HIRE TRAIN AND RETAIN THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND TALENTED WORKFORCE THE STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. THE FIRST STRATEGY WAS UNDER THE ACTION TEAM LEADER CLINT POOL OUR DIRECTOR OF H.R. DEVELOP
[00:15:03]
INNOVATIVE RECRUITMENT AND ONBOARDING PRACTICES THAT REIMAGINE ROLES AND RESOURCES TO MEET DIVERSE DISTRICT NEEDS. I'M TRYING TO STAY IN TOUCH HERE WITH THE RIGHT SCREEN. THE ACTIONS ASSOCIATED ARE ALSO DEVELOP A FOCUSED AND INTENTIONAL TALENT ACQUISITION PLAN THAT ATTRACTS THE HIGHEST QUALITY CANDIDATES IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET. ANOTHER ASSOCIATED ACTION PLAN DEVELOP A PROCESS TO SUCCESSFULLY ASSIMILATE NEW EMPLOYEES INTO THEIR ROLES AND INTO THE CULTURE OF PLANO ISD THROUGH PREPLANNED EFFORTS STRATEGY. 3.2 ACTION TEAM LEADER WAS ASHLEY HELMS AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CULTIVATE A CULTURE THAT EMPOWERS AND SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL EMPLOYEES THROUGH INNOVATIVE THINKING INDIVIDUAL LEARNING PATHWAYS AND COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCES AND REFLECTIVE PRACTICE ACTIONS ASSOCIATED OR PROVIDE PERSONALIZED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT PROMOTE OWNERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND ENSURE RELEVANT SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYEES THE NEXT ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS CREATE A SYSTEM OF ACCESSIBLE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT IS APPLICATION FOCUSED REFLECTION RICH AND RESULTS ORIENTED. NEXT STRATEGY 3.3 EDNA AND MARCUS ALSO IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CREATE A MULTI TIERED SYSTEM OF CARE AND SUPPORT THE VALUES RETAINS AND GROWS HIGH QUALITY STAFF AND THE RELATED ACTIONS CREATE A MULTIFACETED WELLNESS PROGRAM THAT HELPS EMPLOYEES BALANCE AND NAVIGATE CHALLENGES IN LIFE WORK INCLUDING PHYSICAL MENTAL EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL HEALTH THE NEXT ACTION CREATE SYSTEMS AND A CULTURE THAT BUILDS EMPLOYEE CAPACITY FOR CAREER GROWTH AND THE FINAL ACTION. CREATE SYSTEMS AND A CULTURE THAT SUPPORTS ETHICAL DECISION MAKING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES THROUGH COLLABORATION AND USE OF THE MODEL CODE OF EDUCATOR ETHICS. I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SEE THROUGHOUT THESE ACTIONS ARE WE ARE SERVING EMPLOYEES AND I LIKE THAT WE'RE SERVING NEW EMPLOYEES WE'RE SERVING EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEES TO IDENTIFY THOSE WHO STRIVE FOR CAREER GROWTH AND DETERMINE THEIR NEEDS. I THINK THAT FEEDBACK IS SO GREAT SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT EMBEDDED THROUGH THESE ACTIONS. THIS SEEMS THIS IS THE ONE I THINK THAT HAS THE MOST. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONE WHO HAS THE THIRD A THIRD LEVEL. THE ONLY ONE IT'S A BIG. THIS LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK AND WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THAT BETH AND TEAM ARE GOING TO HANDLE ALL THIS RIGHT. THAT'S WHY BETH AND TEAM WERE A HUGE PART OF. IS THAT WHY SHE'S NOT HERE? YEAH I THINK THAT NOW SHE SHE WAS SAID TO BE HERE. YOU KNOW ONE OF THE BELIEF STATEMENTS IS THAT. OUR TALENTED WORKFORCE IS OUR NUMBER ONE ASSET. AND SO YOU PUT YOUR TIME AND YOUR ENERGY WHERE YOUR BIGGEST ASSET LIES AND THAT IS THAT IS OUR STAFF AND WE CAN'T DELIVER TO THE KIDS IF WE DON'T HAVE THE BEST. AND SO WE WE YOU KNOW WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO LIMIT EVERYONE TO HAVE 2 AND H.R. CAME BEGGING FOR 3 BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE THEY REALLY NEEDED IT. AND SO WE WE FELT LIKE THAT WAS APPROPRIATE. SO AS I WAS GLANCING AT THE ACTION STEPS THOUGH I THINK I WAS ON THE VERY FIRST I WAS LIKE OH THIS IS STUFF THEY COULD JUMP ON RIGHT RIGHT AWAY AND GET GOING YOU KNOW IN AUGUST ON THIS. AND THEN YOU TURN THE PAGE TO THE NEXT ONE AND YOU'RE LIKE THIS IS STUFF THEY COULD DO IN AUGUST AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL I THINK THEY'VE GOT A BIG GOAL AHEAD OF THEM. THEY DO SUSAN MODISETTE AND LESLIE RANGE-STANTON ARE GOING TO TAKE PILLAR FOUR. SUSAN. THANK YOU SARA. PILLAR 4 IS AROUND A CULTURE OF COMMUNITY. OUR OBJECTIVE IS PLANO ISD EMBRACES THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE LIVE AND WORK AND WILL FOSTER PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO THE EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS AND MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR FAMILIES. LESLIE RANGE-STANTON LED ACTION TEAM 4.1 AND THAT READS IDENTIFY AND ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS TO FOSTER MEANINGFUL COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS THAT EMBRACE THE COMMUNITY AS PARTNERS IN STUDENT SUCCESS. AND THERE ARE TWO ACTION PLANS EMBEDDED IN THAT. THE FIRST IS TO[00:20:02]
FOSTER EQUITABLE ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCES ACROSS THE DISTRICT FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS AND THE SECOND IS TO BUILD A COHESIVE POSITIVE CULTURE OF TRUST AND INCLUSION THAT ENGAGES ALL STAKEHOLDERS. THE SECOND STRATEGY IN PILLAR FOUR WAS LED BY MARK ALLEN AND THAT IS TO DEVELOP AND NURTURE A CULTURE OF EMPATHY CARING AND ADVOCACY FOR OUR DIVERSE LEARNING COMMUNITY WHERE INDIVIDUALS FEEL CONNECTED AND THAT ALSO HAS TWO ACTION PLANS EMBEDDED IN IT. THE FIRST IS TO CREATE FOSTER AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEMATIC STREAMLINED AND INTEGRATED PROCESS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNICATE AND PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE WHOLE CHILD AND FAMILY THROUGH STRONG COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN PLANO ISD AND WITH OUTSIDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS. AND THE SECOND PART TO SIMPLIFY AND MAINTAIN WAYS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH UTILIZE THEIR TALENTS AND RESOURCES AND LIFT UP THEIR OWN UNIQUE VALUE. THAT'S THE END OF PILLAR 4 UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT GET GOING. CAN I SAY ONE THING. I'M LOOKING AT STRATEGY 4.2.1 AND ACTION STEP NUMBER TWO TALKS ABOUT FINDING PROVIDERS OUTSIDE OF PLANO ISD OR PLANO CITY LIMITS EXCUSE ME FOR CAMPUS IS LOCATED ON CITY AND COUNTY BORDERS. I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC. I THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO HELP OUR WRAPAROUND SERVICES. IS THAT WHAT THAT'S TARGETED FOR. THANK YOU FOR THAT RANDY MCDOWELL. PILLAR 5 STRATEGIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. OK. THE OBJECTIVE AS GOOD STEWARDS WE BOTH STRATEGICALLY AND EQUITABLY MANAGE OUR RESOURCES TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED STUDENT NEEDS AND ALIGN RESOURCE ALLOCATION WITH DISTRICT GOALS IN STRATEGY 5.1. THIS WAS LED BY AMY BATES INCREASE INVESTMENT IN OUR LEARNING COMMUNITY THROUGH ADVOCACY PARTNERSHIPS AND INCREASED ENROLLMENT AND THE ACTION PLANS. THE FIRST IS GROW AND SUSTAIN THE DISTRICT'S PORTFOLIO OF PARTNERSHIPS TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIPS ALONG WITH [INAUDIBLE] VOLUNTEER MENTORSHIP INTERNSHIP EXTERNSHIP JOB SHADOWING AND STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES.AND THE SECOND ACTION PLAN EXPLORE ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES FOR SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS OF CHOICE WHILE OVERTLY MARKETING OUR EXISTING PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESSIBILITY AND MEET MORE INDIVIDUALIZED STUDENT NEEDS. THE SECOND STRATEGY WAS LED BY ELAINE COGBURN AND ANGELA MARKS-COSBY DESIGN AND MANAGE A SYSTEM THAT ALLOCATES RESOURCES IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR DISTRICT STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND THE ACTIONS THE FIRST OF THOSE CREATE STRATEGIC ALLOCATION MODEL THAT BRINGS ADEQUACY AND EQUITY TO ALL STUDENTS AND PROGRAMS AND SECONDLY EVALUATE DESIRED OUTCOMES AGAINST RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVENESS AND TO ALLOW REASSESSMENT OF RESOURCE DISTRIBUTIONS IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF COURSE YOU MAY WANT TO COMMENT ON THE LAST ONE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST TAKE A QUICK SECOND IF YOU WERE ON AN ACTION TEAM OR YOU WERE AN ACTION TEAM LEADER WILL YOU STAND IN THE AUDIENCE. [APPLAUSE]. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. THERE WERE 125 PEOPLE SERVING ON THE TEAMS THAT DEVELOP THE PLANS THAT YOU'RE HOLDING AND THEY PUT A LOT OF TIME AND WORK OVER SEVERAL MONTHS INTO THIS INTO THIS LOFTY PLAN WITH SO MUCH IN IT THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT'S GOOD FOR PLANO ISD AND GOOD FOR KIDS AND I REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND FOR ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT YOU PUT INTO MAKING A QUALITY PLAN. THANK YOU. SO SARA WHEN WILL THERE BE DEADLINES ASSIGNED TO THE DIFFERENT ACTION PLANS AND WHEN WILL THAT BE COMMUNICATED TO THE BOARD? SO THAT THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT A MINUTE AGO SO WE'LL TAKE THESE NOW AND START TO CHUNK THEM INTO THIS WILL HAPPEN IN YEAR ONE THIS WILL HAPPEN IN YEAR TWO AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK WITH THOSE SPREAD OUT FIVE YEAR. NOW HERE'S WHAT WE ANTICIPATE DOING OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND THEN THE PLAN OF WORK FOR NEXT YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR ONE WORK
[00:25:04]
AND SO THAT THAT WILL GET OPERATIONALIZED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENTS. SO BY EARLY NEXT YEAR WE'LL AT LEAST SEE WHAT THE TIMELINE IS FOR THE ENTIRE PLAN AND THE BOARD WILL BE PRESENTED WITH A PLAN OF WORK IN THE AUGUST SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME FOR ADOPTION LIKE WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH THE. WELL THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF A YEAR OF OF THOUGHT AND WORK. SO I KNOW YOU HAVE INVESTED YOUR PERSONAL ENERGY IN THIS AND IF THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF YOUR TOP PRIORITIES I THINK THAT THE DELIVERABLE IS VERY MUCH SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BE VERY PROUD OF. AND YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED AND LED AND CONTRIBUTED A GREAT JOB. IT WAS DEFINITELY A COMMUNITY EFFORT WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. AND SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO ROLL THIS OUT ON THURSDAY EVENING AT THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT EVENT. AND SO THAT'LL IT'LL BE SHOWCASED THROUGHOUT THAT EVENING SO THAT EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN CAN SEE HOW WE PLAN TO MOVE THE DISTRICT FORWARD. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW THE BOARD WILL BE JOINING US LIVE IN PERSON AND ON VIDEO.YEAH ALWAYS A THRILL ALWAYS A THRILL TO BE VIDEO BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. IT WAS DEFINITELY A TEAM EFFORT. OK. SO THE NEXT TWO REPORTS ENSURE CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENT LEARNING. AND SUSAN MORISSETTE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR CAMPUS SERVICES WILL NOW PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE WRAP AROUND SERVICES TASK FORCE. SUSAN THANK YOU PRESIDENT BENDER THANK YOU LESLIE. I'M PLEASED TONIGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME WORK THAT WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED THIS YEAR WHICH CLOSELY CONNECTS TO SEVERAL OF THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WE BROUGHT TOGETHER THIS SCHOOL YEAR A TASK FORCE THAT WAS COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM MY GROUP IN CAMPUS SERVICES FAMILY AND STUDENT SERVICES ACADEMIC SERVICES AND DISTRICT SERVICES. AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID WAS TO DEFINE OUR MISSION AND THAT WAS TO BRIDGE AND STRENGTHEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SUPPORTS AND RESOURCES IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A SYSTEMATIC DISTRICT WIDE MULTI TIERED SUPPORT FRAMEWORK THAT ADDRESSES THE NEED OF THE WHOLE CHILD. SO IN ESSENCE WE WERE LOOKING TO IMPROVE OUR EXISTING PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES TO BETTER ARTICULATE AND COMMUNICATE OUT WHAT ACCESS TO SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE BOTH WITHIN OUR SCHOOL ORGANIZATION AND EXTERNALLY AND THEN ULTIMATELY TO CREATE A ROADMAP OR A MENU THAT IS EASILY ACCESSED AND UNDERSTANDABLE TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS SO WE IDENTIFIED REALLY FIVE PILLARS OF SUPPORT THAT WE WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT AS THEY RELATE TO TO WRAP AROUND SERVICES AND REALLY SERVING THE WHOLE STUDENT AND FAMILY. AND THOSE WERE IN THE AREAS OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AND THREAT ASSESSMENT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT IN FAMILY SUPPORT AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM JUST HEARING ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN SOME OF THIS WORK CONNECTED VERY DIRECTLY TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN FACT SO DIRECTLY THAT ONCE THE STRATEGIC PLAN BEGAN MOVING THE TASK FORCE MADE THE DECISION TO REALLY TAKE ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND MOVE THAT OVER TO PILLAR 1 IN TEACHING AND LEARNING BECAUSE THEIR ACTION PLANS REALLY ENCOMPASSED THIS WORK. WE TONIGHT WON'T THE ONLY OTHER AREA WE WON'T SHARE WITH YOU IS AROUND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH. AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE BROUGHT AN UPDATE TO THE BOARD RECENTLY IN THAT AREA SO IT IN THESE AREAS. WE THEN CREATED TASK FORCE OR SUBCOMMITTEES FOR EACH ONE AND THEY BEGAN LOOKING AT THEIR ASSIGNED AREA AND REALLY DID A TYPE OF SWOT ANALYSIS SO THEY LOOKED AT WHAT ARE WE CURRENTLY DOING. WHAT RESOURCES DO WE HAVE THAT BOTH WITHIN OUR DISTRICT IN OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT DO OUR
[00:30:03]
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES NEED AND THEN WHERE DO OUR GAPS EXIST. AND THAT HELPED DEFINE THE WORK MOVING FORWARD. SO AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO JANA HANCOCK, ROBIN GARCIA AND MARK ALLEN WHO RESPECTIVELY LED EACH OF THE THREE PILLARS THAT YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THIS EVENING. AND WE'LL START WITH JANA IN THE AREA OF THREAT ASSESSMENT. GOOD EVENING. I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO MY BEST. I HAVE ANOTHER VOICE ISSUE TONIGHT SO I'M WORKING ON IT I PROMISE SO I'LL BE ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH IN THREAT ASSESSMENT. OUR THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM IS STILL CONTINUING TO MEET. WE'VE BEGUN OUR WORK AND ARE FINISHING UP IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. MANY OF YOU MAY ALREADY BE AWARE THAT MENTAL HEALTH OR THE NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IS GROWING RAPIDLY NOT JUST IN OUR AREA BUT ACROSS THE STATE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND WE HAVE FEWER AND FEWER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FREE AND LOW COST ASSESSMENTS FOR STUDENTS THAT MAY BE STRUGGLING. IN ADDITION TO FREE AND LOW COST FOLLOW UP CARE. SO THAT IS WHAT OUR TEAM IS ADDRESSING RIGHT NOW. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THAT MANY OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS ARE RELUCTANT TO GIVE US A REPORT OR MAYBE A VISION OF WHERE THAT STUDENT MAY OR HOW HOW HIGH THE RISK MAY BE. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF DIRECTION WITH THIS TEAM IS A KIND OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO PROVIDE SUPPORTS TO THE CAMPUS COUNSELOR OR THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATOR WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES COMMUNITY AGENCIES AND COME UP WITH A MODEL THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PULL RESOURCES TOGETHER IN ADVANCE OF A VIOLENT ACT TO SELF OR OTHERS FROM A STUDENT SO THAT WE CAN WE CAN PROVIDE RESOURCES AND INTERVENTIONS BEFORE IT BECOMES A CRISIS SITUATION. AND CURRENTLY THERE ARE SEVERAL REALLY EXCELLENT MODELS OUT THERE THAT WE'RE RESEARCHING AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT A LOT OF RESEARCH THAT REALLY STARTED WITH THE SECRET SERVICE REPORT BACK IN 2000 AND THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THESE CURRENT MODELS ARE BASED ON. SO WE'RE REALLY DOING THE OR FOLLOWING THE SAME KIND OF PROCESS THAT SUSAN DESCRIBED WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT RESOURCES WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE WHAT THE EXPERTS EXPERTS TELL US WOULD BE BEST PRACTICE IN TERMS OF IDENTIFYING NEEDS AND IDENTIFYING RISK AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE LOOKING AT SEVERAL OF THESE MODELS. ONE MODEL THAT'S MENTIONED ON THE ON THE SLIDE IS WAS DEVELOPED BY JOHN VON DREAL. HE WAS ACTUALLY IN OUR DISTRICT LAST AUGUST AND SPOKE WITH ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS. SO HE LAY A LOT OF THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE WORK THAT WE ARE ENGAGED IN RIGHT NOW WITH OUR COMMITTEE. SO WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEP IS TO COLLABORATE FURTHER WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THIS WOULD INCLUDE OUR LOCAL POLICE OFFICERS OR POLICE DEPARTMENTS POTENTIALLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES JUVENILE JUSTICE AND THEN PROBABLY OUR MENTAL HEALTH AUTHORITY AND IN LIFE PATH SYSTEMS TO LOOK AT A PROGRAM THAT WOULD ENABLE US TO IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO RISK IN COOPERATION WITH THEM AND PULL ON THE RESOURCES THAT THEY CAN OFFER TO OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON WITH OUR THREAT ASSESSMENT GROUP. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I FORGET Y A M IS AN ACRONYM FOR. IT IS YOUTH AWARE OF MENTAL HEALTH. THANK YOU. YOU BET. OK. NOW WE'LL TURN TO MENTAL HEALTH. THIS WORK IS ONGOING AS YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN AN EMPHASIS OF OURS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING CURRENTLY RELATED TO STAFF WE TRAIN OUR STAFF EVERY YEAR IN SUICIDE AWARENESS PREVENTION AND SORRY CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND REPORTING. SO THOSE ARE TWO REQUIRED TRAININGS THAT OUR STAFF ENGAGES IN EVERY YEAR THROUGH OUR SAFE SCHOOLS PROGRAM AND THEN COUNSELORS PROVIDE FOLLOW UP OR KIND OF BOOSTER SESSIONS IN THE FALL IN THE SPRING SO THAT WE ARE SURE THAT OUR STAFF IS AWARE OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND HOW TO REPORT SITUATIONS ACCORDING TO PROTOCOL THAT THE CAMPUS HAS IN OUR DISTRICT PROTOCOL. SO THAT IS ONGOING. IN ADDITION WE WE OFFERED A RESEARCH BASED PROGRAM CALLED MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID. MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT. IT WAS MENTIONED IN GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S REPORT ON SCHOOL SAFETY. SO THAT IS AN EIGHT HOUR PROGRAM[00:35:06]
THAT WE'VE MADE AVAILABLE TO STAFF AND WORK WE'RE PLANNING TO EXPAND THAT SO THAT MORE AND MORE STAFF CAN BE EDUCATED ON HOW TO RESPOND AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH. SO SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT WE ARE CONTINUING WITH THE HAND THAT WAS JUST MENTIONED IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH UT SOUTHWESTERN HEALTH AND OR THEIR RISK AND RESILIENCE NETWORK. AND THAT'S BEEN A VERY VALUABLE PARTNERSHIP DELIVERED TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN HEALTH CLASSES. AND THAT WILL BE EXPANDING TO ENCOMPASS MORE STUDENTS NEXT YEAR ALSO GUIDANCE LESSONS THAT COUNSELORS DELIVER ADDRESS THESE ISSUES SPECIFICALLY TERMS OF SUICIDE PREVENTION TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER ON OUR CAMPUSES OUR SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING INITIATIVE IS ONGOING. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR SECURITY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT'S ONE MESSAGE TO STUDENTS ABOUT HOW TO KEEP OURSELVES SAFE AND EACH OTHER SAFE. WE ALSO HAVE OTHER PARTNERSHIPS WITH TURNING POINT AND THE CHILD AND FAMILY GUIDANCE CENTER. THEY PROVIDE GUIDANCE LESSONS OR SORRY GOT ITS CURRICULUM TO GROUPS THAT ADDRESSES SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION BUILDING RESILIENCY DECISION MAKING AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. AND THEN IN TERMS OF FUTURE PLANS I MENTIONED THE EXPANSION OF THE YAM PROGRAM AND CONTINUING TO LOOK AT PARTNERSHIPS WITH AREA AGENCIES AND IN ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN BRING VALUE AND RESOURCES TO OUR STUDENTS. ONE OF THOSE THAT I BELIEVE SUSAN MENTIONED IS OUR TELE-BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO ACTUALLY ACCESS REGULAR THERAPEUTIC SERVICES DURING THE SCHOOL DAY VIA IPAD. SO IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT STUDENTS REALLY FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND RESPOND WELL TO A PERSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A SCREEN BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH. SO WE'RE ANXIOUS TO BEGIN PILOTING THAT IN THE FALL AT FRANKFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SHEPTON HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE'LL BE REPORTING TO YOU MORE ABOUT THAT AS IT BEGINS. IS THAT THROUGH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. IT IS YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ROLL OUT IS TRAINING FOR ALL OF OUR STAFF ON TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES HOW TO RECOGNIZE A STUDENT IN YOUR CLASSROOM OR IN THE HALLWAY THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OR EXPERIENCED A GREAT DEAL OF TRAUMA. WHAT ARE THE BEST PRACTICES AND METHODS FOR RESPONDING TO AND WORKING WITH THAT STUDENT. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO AM I DREAMING THIS OR DID WE AT ONE POINT TALK ABOUT TRYING TO PARTNER UP WITH LIKE SMU OR UT UNIVERSITIES AROUND IS THAT PART OF THAT IS ONE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE'RE EXPLORING. YES. AND ON THE TELE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE PAY FOR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THE FAMILY THAT IS. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. THE FAMILIES BASICALLY ENTER INTO A FINANCIAL AGREEMENT WITH THE PROVIDER FROM CHILDREN'S HEALTH BUT THEY DO HAVE MANY PROVIDERS THAT ACCEPT CHIP AND MEDICAID. SO THERE'LL BE A NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT CAN BENEFIT NOT JUST THOSE THAT ARE INSURED. OKAY. THANKS. THANK YOU.AND WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD TO THE FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES. EXCUSE ME I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM TO GO TOO. IT'S A TREND. SO WE HAD A CROSS SECTION OF OF EMPLOYEES INCLUDING ADMINISTRATORS COUNSELORS OTHERS FAMILY SUPPORT PERSONNEL THAT MET TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT WRAPAROUND SERVICES. IT REALLY WAS ONE OF THE BEST COMMITTEES THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN A PART OF AND ABLE TO LEAD. EVERYONE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR THOUGHTS THEIR OPINIONS. WE WE WE REALLY WERE THERE FOR STUDENT STAFF AND FAMILIES IN OUR IN OUR DISTRICT. AND WE BEGAN TO DETERMINE THAT OUR CURRENT SERVICES WERE FOR OUR FAMILIES. AND THEN WE MOVED TO THE HOPES AND DREAMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR OUR STUDENTS FAMILIES AND STAFF. WE DID A SWOT ANALYSIS AS SUSAN MENTIONED AND WE WERE WERE THEN TRYING TO CHOOSE OUR PRIORITIES WITH THAT SWOT ANALYSIS. WE WE REALLY WERE WORKING HAND-IN-HAND AND COLLABORATING WITH THE ACTION STEP 4.2. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THAT EARLIER THAT THERE WERE
[00:40:02]
SOME WRAPAROUND SERVICES WE WERE WALKING HAND IN HAND WITH 4.2 AND THE PILLAR FOUR ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE WE COLLABORATED WITH THAT TEAM REGULARLY SINCE I'VE SAT ON BOTH COMMITTEES ALSO FOR JUST FROM OUR INVESTIGATIONS SOME OF WHAT WE FOUND FROM OUR STUDENTS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY ALREADY SERVING IS OUR SOCIAL WORKERS ON SELECTED CAMPUSES ALSO OUR HOMELESS LIAISON AS YOU ALL KNOW JAMES THOMAS. WE HAVE COUNSELORS AT ALL CAMPUSES. WE HAVE A GED PROGRAM SCHOOL AGE PARENT PROGRAM SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELORS BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS, PASAR ALSO COMMUNITY IN SCHOOLS THAT A LOT OF CAMPUSES. SO THOSE ARE JUST A REAL SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE CAN. WE ALREADY OFFER FOR OUR STUDENTS FOR OUR STAFF. WE HAVE THE MARGARET REYNOLDS FUND EAP THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ALSO THE LEAVE POOL, EMPLOYEE CHILD CARE CENTER CENTERS 3 CENTERS AND PPA SCHOLARSHIPS WE ALSO PROVIDE FOR FAMILIES AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE MOBILE COMPUTER LAB THE I AM PRESENT FOR TRUANCY, THE PARENT EDUCATION WORKSHOPS, FAMILY LITERACY JUST TO JUST TO NAME A FEW OF THE COMMUNITY WE JUST LISTED CHART AFTER CHART ON COMMUNITY. BUT I WANTED TO JUST MENTION ABOUT OPERATION SCHOOL BELL AND THOSE ARE SCHOOL CLOSE FOR OUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. ALSO FOOD FOR KIDS AND DIFFERENT FOOD PANTRIES AROUND THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS HOMELESS AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS AND COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND THE ASSISTANCE LEAGUE YOU GIVE COLLIN COUNTY. THERE ARE SEVERAL SCHOOLS ALSO DOING MENTORING PROGRAMS AS WELL. SO AFTER IDENTIFYING THESE SERVICES AND USING OUR SWOT ANALYSIS FOR CURRENT FAMILY SUPPORT WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD CHOOSE ITEMS THAT WE WANTED OUR PRIORITIZED ITEMS THAT WE WANTED TO BRING FORTH FOR OUR FAMILY WRAP AROUND SO KIND OF COMBINING THESE TWO TOGETHER WHAT OUR CURRENT STATUS IS AND WHAT OUR FUTURE ACTIONS WOULD BE WOULD BE TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM OR A PROCESS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES FOR STAFF STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND PARENTS COULD ACCESS INFORMATION FROM MANY DIFFERENT AREAS ALSO EXPLORING PARTNERSHIPS AND IDEAS TO BRING SERVICES TO FAMILIES TO HELP MEET FAMILIES BASIC NEEDS AND GET THEM IN TOUCH WITH COMMUNITY SUPPORT AS WELL AS AN EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PROGRAM AND THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLAN. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO IN THIS CATEGORY WOULD THIS WOULD PROBABLY FALL UNDER THAT BASIC NEEDS BUT FROM LIKE THE OPERATION SCHOOL BELL AND ACCESS TO CLOTHING ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHERE SOME SERVICES WOULD GO BASED ON SOME DATA LIKE I KNOW AT SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS WE HAVE A FOOD PANTRY IN THE SCHOOL AND WE HAVE SOME CLOTHING AND SOME BASIC NEEDS WHERE FAMILIES CAN GO IN AND HAVE ACCESS TO THAT. ARE YOU LOOKING AT THAT SORT OF PROGRAM IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND OR HAVE YOU JUST NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN QUITE THAT FAR BUT OUR COUNSELORS ARE ABLE TO GIVE ALL OF THOSE THAT INFORMATION TO US AND SO IF THERE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO HAVE A HUB TO BE ABLE TO HAVE PEOPLE COME TO US AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. BUT OUR COUNSELORS WE LOOK TO OUR COUNSELORS RIGHT NOW BUT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING DEFINITELY WE COULD LOOK INTO. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE HUB IDEA A LITTLE BIT MORE WHAT YOU MEAN.WELL FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT ONE KIND OF A ONE STOP SHOP WHERE CAN THEY FIND SERVICES IF THEY KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO SEE FOOD SERVICES THEN THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM OR WHETHER IT WAS MAYBE EVEN JUST A FLYER OR SOMETHING ON A WEBSITE. WE ACTUALLY CALLED IT KIND OF AN AMAZON OF FAMILY SERVICES SO WHENEVER LIKE ESPECIALLY TO FAMILIES THAT ARE ON THE MOBILE COMPUTER LAB AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH SPECIFIC AREAS IN THEIR LIFE. THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GO TO THIS ONE STOP SHOP THAT WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD AS WE'RE COLLABORATING TOGETHER WITH THIS AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP THEM WITH THAT SERVICE. MISSY I WOULD MAYBE CLARIFY WE'RE NOT AT A POINT YET OF LOOKING AT DETAILS BUT WHEN ROBIN TALKS ABOUT THIS IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A PHYSICAL ONE STOP SHOP BUT A COLLECT THAT OUR FIRST STEP WILL BE TO COLLECT RESOURCES IN ONE
[00:45:01]
VIRTUAL AREA AND THEN DETERMINE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS FOR FAMILIES TO ACCESS THOSE. SO CERTAINLY IT MAY BE LOCATION MAY BE A BARRIER. AND SO THEN THIS GROUP WILL BEGIN TO LOOK AT. SO HOW DO WE GET AROUND THAT BARRIER IS IT TOO LIKE YOU MENTIONED PERHAPS HAVE MOBILE SITES IN SCHOOLS. IS IT TO HAVE ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAW AT OUR LAST WESTERN STATES MEETING WAS A MOBILE SERVICE THAT WAS DEPLOYED TO CAMPUSES AROUND THE DISTRICT. SO WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THE BUILDING PART YET. BUT THOSE ARE THE IDEAS THAT WE'RE THINKING OF. SO TELL ME IF I'M NOT REMEMBERING THIS RIGHT. BUT ISN'T THERE ALSO LIKE SOME DATA THAT'S AVAILABLE FROM THR ABOUT WHERE NEEDS ARE BY ZIP CODE THAT'S USEFUL. I MEAN I'M REMEMBERING THAT RIGHT? YES. AND WE ACTUALLY WORKED REALLY CLOSELY WITH TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES AND OUR GRANT THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A LITTLE BIT. THAT DID NOT GIVE US DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT SPOTS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT OTHER THAN TO IDENTIFY A CERTAIN AREA THAT THAT THEY WANTED US TO TO DIRECT RESOURCES TO. SO SARA YOU KNOW THIS IS CERTAINLY A HOT BUTTON FOR ME AND SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR THE DURATION OF THE YEAR AND A HALF WE'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF YOUR SERVICE. THIS IS ONE THAT I HOPE GETS PRIORITIZED IN NEXT YEAR'S PLAN OF WORK BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE KIDS HAVE GONE WITHOUT SERVICE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE INEQUITY AND HOW WE HAVE OUR SERVICES EAST VERSUS WEST WHERE WEST SIDE THERE ARE VERY FEW SERVICES AND SO I HOPE WE CAN DO THIS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. I'D ALSO SUGGEST YOU CAN DO AN AUDIT SCHOOL BY SCHOOL TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OR HAVE ACCESS TO THE MOBILE LAB I UNDERSTAND DOESN'T GO TO EVERY CAMPUS EVERY YEAR SO THAT'S NOT A HELP. SO CERTAINLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE CAN DEPLOY AND JUST GETTING GRANULAR GETTING THE DATA SEEING WHAT'S HAPPENING SAME THING WITH SOCIAL WORKERS. THERE'S SOME SCHOOLS AT THIS NEXT YEAR WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR THEY'LL HAVE A FULL TIME SOCIAL WORKER. SO WE WE HAVE A LOT OF NICE THINGS TO TALK ABOUT BUT THOSE THINGS ARE NOT SPREAD ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THE SYSTEM YOU KNOW WE WANT A SYSTEM AND THEN A PROCESS FOR ACCESSING WITHIN THE SYSTEM. SO FOR THIS COMING YEAR PLAN OF WORK WELL THAT BEING A LOT OF THE WORK DONE. OK. WELL I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THAT ELIMINATES THE TIME AND SPACE PROBLEM AND ALLOWS PEOPLE 24/7 ACCESS. AND THEN WHEN YOU ESTABLISH THE CENTRALIZED REPOSITORY FOR THE SERVICES THEN YOU GO TO STEP TWO WHICH IS FINDING OUT WHAT THE BARRIERS ARE TO ACCESS AND OVERCOMING THOSE. BUT YOU KNOW TAMMY TO YOUR POINT IF IF THERE ARE POCKETS THAT ARE NOT RECEIVING SERVICES BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IF WE HAVE A CENTRALIZED LOCATION WHERE THOSE SERVICES CAN AT LEAST INFORMATION CAN BE ACCESSED.THAT'S A GOOD START. IT'S A GREAT START. I LIKE THAT IT'S A START BUT IF IT'S ONLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF 75 WEST SIDE FAMILIES ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. BUT WEST SIDE FAMILIES CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE SERVICES ON THE EAST SIDE OF 75 AND GO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE SERVICES THAT THEY MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT. SO IT'S A IT'S AN INFORMATIONAL TO ME THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IS THE INFORMATION CENTRALIZING THE INFORMATION WHAT IS AVAILABLE AND THEN THE SECOND STEP IS MAKING SURE ALL OF OUR FAMILIES KNOW THAT THAT'S AVAILABLE. AND THE THIRD STEP IS MAKING SURE IT'S IT'S ACCESSIBLE. EXACTLY. SO I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT BUS ROUTES ONCE AND IT'S A TWO HOUR BUS TRIP FROM MITCHELL TO OUR FAMILY LITERACY CENTER ON THE OTHER SIDE TWO HOURS EACH WAY. FAMILIES NOT GOING TO DO THAT. AND SO WE CAN TALK THAT WE HAVE THESE SERVICES BUT IF THEY'RE TWO HOURS AWAY BY BUS WE REALLY DON'T HAVE SERVICES. THAT'S SOME OF THE SERVICES I THINK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LIKE AREN'T THEY COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES THAT WE'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING JUST THE VISIBILITY TOO AND WE'RE IS THAT RIGHT. YEAH I THINK SO YEAH DEFINITELY SOME. WHAT CAN WE BUILD IDEAS IS WHAT WE CAN MAKE MOBILE WE'RE GONNA MAKE MOBILE OR WHAT WE CAN. YOU CAN. WE CAN PUT IN PARTICULAR AREAS WE'RE GOING GONNA TRY TO GET IN THOSE AREAS. YOU KNOW IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO TO CREATE THAT BUT THEN IF THEY'RE COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES THEN HOW CAN WE BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS LIKE TAMMY SAID. I AGREE IT'S TWO HOURS TO GET FROM SOME PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND YOU KNOW IF YOU GO BACK TO WHAT WE LOOKED AT AT 4.2 THAT WAS PART PART OF THAT IDEA ABOUT LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND NEIGHBORING IN THOSE COMMUNITIES TO TRY TO BREAK DOWN THAT ACCESSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THOSE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES OR THOSE PHYSICAL HEALTH SERVICES I MEAN THERE'S SOME PHYSICAL HEALTH SERVICES OVER THERE AS WELL. HOW CAN WE BREAK THAT DOWN AND BREAK THAT BARRIER DOWN TO TRY TO GET THEM. YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE I GUESS ONE OF THE PIECES THAT DATA THAT T.H.R. DID PROVIDE US IS THAT THEY FEEL EVEN IN THE ZIP CODE THAT THEY IDENTIFIED THERE'S
[00:50:01]
STILL BARRIERS TO PEOPLE ACCESSING SERVICES WHETHER THAT'S TWO HOUR BUS RIDES OR A 30 MINUTE BUS RIDE. YOU KNOW WHAT CAN YOU DO. I MEAN THE WHOLE IDEA IS THE MORE WE CAN BRING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE BETTER WE CAN MEET THOSE THOSE NEEDS AND SO THAT THAT WOULD BE OUR GOAL. AND THAT'S A LOFTY GOAL BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE SERVICE PROVIDERS THERE BUT HOW CAN WE INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES FOR WHETHER IT'S ONE KID ON A CAMPUS OR WHETHER IT'S 100 KIDS ON THE CAMPUS. WE WANT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY KID GETS THE SERVICES THEY NEED. THAT'S REALLY THE THAT'S THE VISION RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON THE WEST SIDE THE INTERSECTION OF BUSH AND THE TOLLWAY IT'S BASICALLY A SOCIAL SERVICES DESERT. AND YOU'VE GOT 15,000 APARTMENTS THERE. THERE'S ONE CHURCH ST. ANDREWS LITERALLY THANK GOD FOR THEM BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH ELSE GOING ON THERE. WELL HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY THROUGH THIS EFFORT WE CAN SEE ABOUT TRYING TO TRYING TO HELP WITH THAT. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THERE'S A NONPROFIT THAT IS WHEN A COUNSELOR IDENTIFIES A STUDENT OR A TEACHER IDENTIFIES A STUDENT IN THE CAMPUS THAT NEEDS CLOTHES. THERE'S A NONPROFIT THAT YOU CAN MAKE PHONE CALL AND THEY WILL DELIVER THE CLOTHES TO THAT CAMPUS. YEAH THAT'S TRUSTED WORLD. AND HOW I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW PERVASIVE ARE WE USING THAT ENTITIES OR I DON'T HAVE USAGE DATA I MEAN I THINK THAT'S THE BIG CHALLENGE WITH THIS WHOLE WRAPAROUND SERVICES PIECE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THEY IDENTIFIED IS KNOWING ABOUT IT AND MAKING SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS AND THAT IT'S A BIG PLACE. THIS IS A BIG DISTRICT AND A BIG PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS THE ABILITY TO KNOW WHERE THOSE RESOURCES ARE AND ACCESS THOSE RESOURCES IS THE KEY PIECE BECAUSE JUST HAVING THE RESOURCE IN THE COMMUNITY YOU KNOW THERE IS FIRST OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION IS THE FIRST PIECE AND THEN WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS TO GETTING TO THAT.SO THAT'S BECOME A MORE AND MORE USED RESOURCE OVER TIME. BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE USAGE DATA ON THAT. MARK DO YOU ENVISION THIS AS BECOMING THIS SYSTEM IS BECOMING LIKE THE CLEARINGHOUSE FOR ALL. YEAH I THINK YEAH. YEAH IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THESE THINGS I MEAN THERE ARE THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL. I MEAN THERE'S A COUPLE OF PIECES ON THIS. IT'S KNOWING WHAT THE RESOURCES ARE AND ALSO NOT OVERTAXING THOSE RESOURCES AS WELL ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. I MEAN THERE'S LIMITED CAPACITY IN ALL OF THESE THINGS SO YOU HAVE TO EXPAND CAPACITY AS WELL AS HAVING ACCESS TO CAPACITY IN THE 4.2 GROUP WHEN WE WORKED ON THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH IS YOU REALLY HAVE TO I MEAN THE CLEARINGHOUSE IDEA WILL HAVE A WAY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT OVERTAXING IN PARTICULAR RESOURCES OUT THERE AS WELL. SO THERE ARE THERE ARE DUPLICATIVE SERVICES IN CERTAIN SPACES. SO SOMETIMES THAT'S CHALLENGING TO NAVIGATE. IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT THE DISTRICT COULD HELP WITH THE DISTRIBUTION YOU KNOW AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOT OVERTAXING THEN THAT MEANS SOMEBODY HAS TO BE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND ORGANIZING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THESE ENTITIES IN THE SAME SPACE AND THE DISTRICT. AND I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S SUPER DIFFICULT TO DO BECAUSE IT'S COMPETITIVE AND YOU KNOW ALL OF THAT BUT DO YOU IMAGINE THAT COULD BE PART OF THE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY PART OF THE TASKS THAT THIS OVERSIGHT SYSTEM. YEAH I MEAN I THINK WE'RE IN EARLY STAGES. I MEAN IT'S IT'S KIND OF A YOU KNOW IT'S A IT'S A I DON'T MEAN THIS IS A LOFTY CLOUD IN THE SKY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW AND TRYING TO BRING SOME MORE DEFINITION TO IT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS. I MEAN I THINK SOME THINGS THAT SUSAN'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT WITH SOME PILOTS AND SOME GRANTS COMING DOWN ARE SOME STEPS TOWARDS THAT IN TERMS OF BREAKING THOSE BARRIERS DOWN. BUT I DO THINK THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO COORDINATE. YOU KNOW I MEAN THE WHOLE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NOT A KID ON A CAMPUS SOMEWHERE IN A FAMILY WHO NEEDS HELP THAT WE CAN'T FIND A WAY JUST BECAUSE OF LOCATION OR AWARENESS THAT THEY CAN'T GET THAT HELP. I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST PIECE IS HOW DO WE BREAK DOWN THOSE TWO PIECES. SO. ALL RIGHT. WELL I THINK THIS IS REALLY SMART BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF SERVING STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PEOPLE TURN TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR THAT GUIDANCE. I THINK HAVING THE CLEARINGHOUSE OR THE HUB OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS REALLY FANTASTIC.
THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND WILL BE THE COUNSELORS AND ADMINISTRATORS AT THE CAMPUS AND I SUPPOSE THERE'S SOME KIND OF A TRAINING ELEMENT IN IT SO THAT THOSE THAT ARE ONE ON ONE WITH THE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THE NEED. I DON'T THINK WE CAN BE THE GATEKEEPER FOR THOSE COMMUNITY SERVICES. I THINK THEY'LL HAVE TO GATE GET THEMSELVES WITH THEIR CAPACITY BUT WE CAN ALWAYS YOU KNOW UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AND COMMUNICATE THE FACILITATE THAT COMMUNICATION TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER. I JUST DON'T THINK WE CAN BE THAT GATEKEEPER.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT BY THAT COMMENT THAT WE WOULD GATEKEEP. BUT I DO THINK THERE'S YOU KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT 4 COUNSELORS OR 10 COUNSELORS OF ALL REFERRING TO THE SAME
[00:55:04]
AGENCY ON THE SAME DAY FOR LIMITED RESOURCES THAT THAT'S THAT THAT MAY BE THAT THAT THEY GET PUT ON THE. I MEAN NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE SEEN. SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S SPREAD OUT. SO GOING BACK TO MISSY'S POINT ABOUT KIND OF BEING A CENTRALIZED LOCATION AND I GUESS AN ORGANIZER OF THIS I MEAN I WOULD ENVISION WHERE YOU HAVE DUPLICATIVE SERVICES IF THE INFORMATION FLOW IS TWO WAYS. I MEAN CERTAINLY THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE CAN OFFER TO THE SERVICE PROVIDERS IS TO SAY YOU KNOW HERE IS WHERE WE'RE SEEING OVERLAP IN SERVICES BETWEEN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND YOUR ORGANIZATION. AND AND THEN ALLOW THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO EITHER UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S OVERLAP IN ONE AREA AND NO COVERAGE OVER HERE. AND IS THAT PART OF THE PLAN IS THAT THAT THERE WOULD BE THAT TWO WAY INFORMATION. I THINK INCREASED RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR PARTNERS TO BE ABLE TO TO EXPLAIN THE NEEDS THAT WE SEE IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE DISTRICT. I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM THERE IS THERE'S PROBABLY MORE NEEDS EVEN IN THOSE DUPLICITOUS SERVICES THAN THERE ARE TO BE PROVIDED. SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE NOT LIKE WE CAN TAKE SOME OF THOSE RESOURCES AND MOVE IT OVER HERE WE REALLY NEED MORE RESOURCES OUT THERE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES. BUT BY MAKING PARTNERS AWARE OF THAT AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING THAT MAY OPEN THEM UP TO SOME GRANT FUNDING THAT THEY CAN APPLY FOR TO EXPAND SOME RESOURCES AND DO SOME THINGS ON THAT PIECE. CAN ALSO BRING UP. WE HAVE A GREAT EXAMPLE WITHIN OUR OWN HEAD START IT HAS A WONDERFUL TOOL THEY ACTUALLY ASSESS FAMILIES THEY DO FAMILY VISITS. WE ACTUALLY PARTNER PEOPLE UP WHEN THEY NEED BEDDING WHATEVER IT IS I THINK LET'S TAKE WHAT WE DO WELL AND JUST EXPAND THAT TO ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. AND THAT'S A MODEL WE'VE LOOKED AT FOR SURE AS WE MOVE THIS AND THAT'S WITH AS YOU MENTIONED SOCIAL WORK EXPANSION OF SOCIAL WORKERS ESPECIALLY ON THESE HIGH NEED CAMPUSES. THAT'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR ROLE THEY'RE GONNA PLAY IS HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY THOSE NEEDS OF THE FAMILY AND HELP MEET THEM. THIS IS A VERY EXCITING AREA. I THINK GREENFIELD OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T KNOW SOME OTHER DISTRICT IS DOING THIS KIND OF WORK ALREADY BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE AH AH IT'S A SUPPLY AND DEMAND THING JUST LIKE WE HAVE NEEDS AND WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT WANT TO HELP. IT'S THE SAME THING HERE WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT HAVE NEED. WE HAVE ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN HELP IN MATCHING THOSE TOGETHER. WELL I THINK IT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO A NEW PARKING GARAGE AND THEY HAVE THE GREEN AND THE LITTLE RED DOTS THAT SHOW WHERE THE AVAILABLE SPOTS ARE. OUR COMMUNICATION TO OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE COMMUNITY MIGHT THEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE LIKE YOU SAID THEIR DEMAND IS AND THEY CAN HOPEFULLY INCREASE THEIR CAPACITY. SO PUSHING THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THEM THAT WE GET IN THE HUB IS CRITICAL FOR THE SERVICE TO OUR FAMILIES. AND THEY PROVIDE US GREAT INFORMATION TOO. WE HAD SOME OF THEM ON OUR ACTION TEAM AND THEY WERE VERY MUCH INSTRUMENTAL IN PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AND PROVIDING PROVIDING GREAT INPUT ON THAT AS WELL. SO WE THINK IT'S THAT TWO WAY PIECE IT'S IMPORTANT ALL RIGHT. SO THE LAST AREA WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS AND JUST UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT UP TILL NOW REALLY ALSO IS A PART OF THE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT PIECES THAT WE LOOK AT WHEN YOU LOOK AT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. FAMILIES YOU KNOW ALL OF THAT GOES INTO HOW BEHAVIOR MANIFEST ON OUR CAMPUSES MANY TIMES. AND SO AS WITH THE OTHER GROUPS WE REALLY TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT DO WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT THAT'S WORKING VERY VERY WELL AND WHAT. AND HOW DO WE GROW THAT. AND THEN WHERE ARE SOME GAPS THAT WE HAVE WITH THAT. AND I THINK AS A AS A THEME FOR A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IT REALLY IS HOW DO WE HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT EVERY KID HAS ACCESS TO GREAT SUPPORTS WHETHER THAT'S FAMILY SUPPORTS BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS OR MENTAL HEALTH HEALTH SUPPORTS. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE ON BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS IS REALLY OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING INITIATIVES WHICH REALLY IS ABOUT HELPING KIDS WITH EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND MOST MANAGEMENT RELATIONSHIP SKILLS. ALL THOSE THINGS. RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING ALL THOSE THINGS THAT GO INTO HELPING HELPING KIDS BE SUCCESSFUL AT SCHOOL BEHAVIORALLY OUR WORK WITH RESTORATIVE PRACTICES AND OTHER SUPPORTS OUR COMMIT PROCESSES ON THE CAMPUS WHERE WE PROBLEM SOLVE AND TRY TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUES AND BUILD PLANS INDIVIDUALIZED FOR KIDS AND THEN ALL THE SERVICES THAT WE CAN OFFER THROUGH SPECIAL EDUCATION AS WELL. SO KIND OF OUR WORK CONTINUES TO BE IN OUR FUTURE ACTION IS REALLY TO REFINE AND BETTER ARTICULATE WHAT THOSE BEHAVIORS SUPPORTS ARE IN THE MORE OF A TIERED MODEL SO THAT CAMPUSES REALLY HAVE A FRAMEWORK AND A STRUCTURE ON WHICH TO BASE THEIR SUPPORTS AND THEN IDENTIFY AND DETERMINE ADDITIONAL BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS AND RESOURCES AND TRAININGS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. YOU KNOW AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW DO YOU SUPPORT BEHAVIOR YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO KIND OF REIMAGINE WHAT WHAT[01:00:05]
THAT LOOKS LIKE ON CAMPUSES AND HOW THAT IMPACTS A CLASSROOM AND THEN ULTIMATELY WE'LL EVALUATE THAT MODEL AND MONITOR SEE HOW THAT'S GOING AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AS WE MOVE ALONG. QUESTIONS? THANKS TEAM. SO I'M JUST GOING TO WRAP UP WITH THE LAST PART OF OUR WORK AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S COME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS WE HAVE EVEN TALKED THIS EVENING THIS INCREASED DEMAND FOR SERVICES AND AND DECREASED FUNDING WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. SO HOW DO WE HELP NAVIGATE THAT CHALLENGE. AND JANA TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR INITIATIVES THAT WILL BEGIN ON A LIMITED BASIS NEXT YEAR WHICH IS THE TELE-BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH CHILDREN'S AND THAT WILL BE PILOTED AT FRANKORD AND SHEPTON. ALONG WITH THAT WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING WITH CHILDREN'S FOR TELEHEALTH AND THAT WILL BE PILOTED AT ARMSTRONG AND BARRON AND BOTH OF THESE SERVICES ARE NEW MODELS FOR US IN PLANO BUT CERTAINLY HELPS BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT WILL ALLOW FAMILIES WHO EITHER DON'T HAVE A PROVIDER CLOSE TO THEM FOR THESE SERVICES OR BOTH PARENTS ARE WORKING DOWNTOWN AND CAN'T GET BACK TO PICK UP A CHILD FOR COUNSELING OR A QUICK VISIT TO A DOCTOR. WE'RE WE'RE REALLY ANXIOUS ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE OUTCOME OF THIS. WE THINK THAT IT HAS SOME GREAT POTENTIAL VALUE FOR OUR FAMILIES AND CERTAINLY THERE WILL BE TRAINING INVOLVED ON OUR DISTRICT PERSONNEL AND HOW TO ACCESS THE SERVICES AND MAKING THAT A CLEAN AND SMOOTH TRANSITION FOR FAMILIES. BUT THOSE ARE OUR TWO NEW MODELS FOR US. SUSAN CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YOU SAID BARRON AND WHICH OTHER? ARMSTRONG. ARMSTRONG I WENT TO THAT PRESENTATION AT CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND WE SAW THAT THE THE TELEHEALTH IN ACTION IT WAS REALLY VERY INTERESTING. I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE IS AT BARRON AND ARMSTRONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WILL WE NEED TO HAVE THE PARENTS SUPPLY CERTAIN LIKE INSURANCE CARD OR CHIP OR MEDICAID. PARENTS WILL SIGN UP IN ADVANCE. SO PART OF WHAT WE'LL DO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WILL BE A BIG COMMUNICATION PUSH TO MAKE PARENTS AWARE AND THEN HELP THEM WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WILL BE NEEDED IN ORDER FOR THEIR CHILD TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT. AND WE'RE STILL IN THE WE'RE STILL KIND OF WORKING OUT THE DETAILS OF OUR MOU BUT WHETHER THAT WILL BE THE SCHOOL WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE PARENT EACH TIME THAT THE STUDENT NEEDS TO ACCESS OR WHETHER THERE CAN BE A LESS CUMBERSOME ROUTE TO THAT. THERE CERTAINLY WILL BE SOME DETAILS FOR US TO WORK OUT AND THE FIRST WILL BE MAKING SURE THAT WE COMMUNICATE BROADLY TO PARENTS SO THAT THEY'RE AWARE. AND THEN I KNOW THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE AWARE OF THE GRANT THAT WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD ON THIS YEAR THROUGH TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES AND HAVE HAVE BEEN RECENTLY AWARDED THIS 450,000 DOLLAR GRANT. AND MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU WERE ASKING TONIGHT MARK AND I AND OUR TEAM HAVE REALLY MULLED OVER AS WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS COLLABORATIVE GRANT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SEE WITH SOME FUNDING HOW WE BRING TOGETHER AND COORDINATE ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE SPINNING AROUND THE TABLE THIS EVENING. THIS GRANT WILL BRING TOGETHER LIFE PATH ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY CITY HOUSE, UT SOUTHWESTERN AND THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY OF COLLIN COUNTY AND THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK AND WE WILL HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO WILL HELP OVERSEE AND COORDINATE. SO THE QUESTIONS THAT MISSY AND DAVID THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF ARE THERE DUPLICATE SERVICES. DO WE[01:05:06]
HAVE GAPS IN SERVICES. THIS WILL REALLY GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS MODEL WHERE WE HAVE THE PROGRAM MANAGER SO THAT PERSON WILL HELP COORDINATE WITH OUR STAFF IN-HOUSE SO OUR COUNSELORS AS WELL AS DATA COLLECTION TO SEE HOW OUR PROGRESS IS WORKING AND THE SECOND PERSON WILL BE WHAT'S CALLED A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER. AND THIS IS SOMEBODY THAT WILL BE TRAINED THROUGH TEXAS HEALTH REALLY WILL BE PERFORMING A ROLE VERY MUCH LIKE A SOCIAL WORKER. BUT WE'LL BE COORDINATING WITH OUR CAMPUSES AS WELL AS THE FIVE ENTITIES THAT ARE WORKING WITH FAMILIES AND STUDENTS TO BETTER COORDINATE THAT. SO WHILE WE KNOW THIS IS A LIMITED TO A CERTAIN SECTION IN A CERTAIN LOCATION IN OUR DISTRICT WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF AS WE HAVE THIS FUNDING IT WILL GIVE US A REALLY GOOD IDEA OF A MODEL TO PERHAPS BRING FORWARD. AND IT'S REALLY THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'VE HAD TO SIT AT A TABLE WITH INDEPENDENT AGENCIES AND TALK ABOUT THE COMMON NEED THAT WE ALL SHARE. WE ARE ALL FOCUSED ON HOW DO WE SERVE THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN PLANO ISD AND WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW DO WE BEST CONNECT FAMILIES. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY AND I THINK THAT IT WILL GIVE US SOME GREAT INSIGHT INTO MOVING FORWARD DISTRICT WIDE. SUSAN. COULD YOU REPEAT THOSE AGAIN. IT WAS LIFE PATH CITY HOUSE ASSISTANCE CENTER, UT SOUTHWESTERN NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK. AND THAT PLANO ISD FOUNDATION. SO THE SIX OF US ANY OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS. WELL THAT'S. YOU MENTIONED THE UNITED WAY GRANT DOWN THERE IS THAT ANOTHER. YEAH. WE'VE APPLIED FOR THAT. THAT'S A GRANT FOCUSED AROUND REDUCING CHILD ABUSE IN YOUNG CHILDREN. WE'VE APPLIED HAVEN'T HEARD BACK YET BUT ARE HOPEFUL ON THAT AS WELL. I ACTUALLY QUICKLY LIKE TO WRAP BACK AROUND TO ACADEMIC SUPPORT. I KNOW THE DISCUSSION WAS THIS HAS BEEN MORE FULLY ENCOMPASSING ENCOMPASSED IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PILLARS. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T LOSE THE FOCUS ON THE KIDS AND THE FAMILIES BECAUSE HOW YOU SUPPORT A FAMILY WITH ACADEMIC NEEDS IS DIFFERENT THAN JUST THE CHILD AND AS I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT STRATEGY PILLAR 1.2 EXCUSE ME 1.1 TALKS ABOUT STUDENTS BUT WHEN YOU GO AND LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL ACTION PLAN IT'S VERY EDUCATOR FOCUSED. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T LOSE THE FOCUS ON THE KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT BUILDING CAPACITY FOR OUR TEACHERS IN THAT PILLAR BUT NOT AS MUCH ABOUT KIDS. AND SO I JUST WANT US TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THAT.THAT'S A GOOD POINT TAMMY. I THINK WHAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO IMPLY IN THAT ACTION IS REALLY RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION. SO LOOKING AT INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS IN WHERE THEIR LEARNING NEEDS ARE AND THEN APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSING THROUGH INTERVENTION FOR EVERY STUDENT. SO CERTAINLY THERE WILL BE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF MATERIALS INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT IT'S REALLY AROUND HOW DO WE MOST APPROPRIATELY RESPOND WHEN A CHILD NEEDS INTERVENTION IN THEIR LEARNING.
RIGHT. BUT I THINK ONCE AGAIN ABOUT EMBRACING THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN TERMS OF IN THAT PROCESS MAKING SURE THAT PART IS NOT LOST OK SO LET'S CONTINUE WITH OUR NEXT REPORT AND THAT WILL BE FROM DR. KATRINA HASLEY ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR ACADEMIC SERVICES. SHE WILL INTRODUCE AN UPDATE ON THE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE KATRINA. THANK YOU MS. BENDER. SO KAREN BEEKMAN IS OUR DIRECTOR FOR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION. HER FIRST YEAR IN THAT POSITION AND SHE HAD THE TOOK ON THE ROLE OF LEADING THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE SO SHE'LL BE BRINGING THAT REPORT TO YOU TONIGHT FROM THE CTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT BENDER BOARD OF TRUSTEES SUPERINTENDENT BONSER AND CABINET. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE DID WITH OUR COMMITTEE THIS YEAR. THIS YEAR OUR COMMITTEE MADE UP OF TEACHERS ADMINISTRATORS COUNSELORS PARENTS AND BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE COMMUNITY MET FOUR TIMES TO WORK ON OUR GOALS. ONE THING THAT EXCUSE ME THAT WE
[01:10:05]
STARTED THIS YEAR THAT I FELT WAS IMPORTANT WAS WE STARTED A PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT THAT WE STARTED THE BEGINNING OF EACH MEETING. WE STARTED AT THE MEETING AT EACH MEETING TO HIGHLIGHT OUR PROGRAMS HERE IN PLANO ISD AND SHARED ABOUT ONE PROGRAM AND HOPES THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS A MEMBER WOULD UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE WHAT WE'RE DOING IN ALL COURSES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SO FOR INSTANCE ONE OF OUR MEETINGS WE MET AT PLANO PLANO EAST WHERE THE CULINARY STUDENTS SERVED US A THREE COURSE MEAL TO THE COMMITTEE WHICH THAT WAS ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD. AND DURING THAT TIME THEY LEARNED ABOUT OUR FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE COURSES. SO AFTER STUDENTS WERE DONE SERVING AND OUR PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT WAS COMPLETED THE STUDENTS CAME OUT AND SHARED WITH US WHO THEY WERE AND WHAT THEIR FUTURE PLANS WERE. AND IT WAS EXCITING TO HEAR THAT OUT OF THE 10 STUDENTS IN ATTENDANCE. WE HAD EIGHT THAT WERE INTERESTED IN THE HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM AND THE OTHER TWO STUDENTS WERE GOING TO GO INTO ENGINEERING. I GUESS THE CULINARY ARTS CLASS WAS JUST A LITTLE FUN. AND OF COURSE THAT THEY WERE TAKING BUT THIS WAS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE GREAT THINGS THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING AND OUR CLASSES AND IN OUR PROGRAMS TO BE A CAREER AND LIFE READY. SO AS WE LOOK AT OUR GOALS THE FIRST GOAL THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IS GOAL NUMBER ONE TO EXPLORE WAYS TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS OF INFORMING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS PRIOR TO THE SPRING SEMESTER OF THE EIGHTH GRADE YEAR OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR COURSE SELECTION IN THE CAREER PATHWAYS WITHIN CTE. SO DURING ONE OF OUR MEETINGS WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE COMMITTEE AND WE DIVIDED THEM INTO INTENTIONAL GROUPS AND WE GAVE THEM TIME TO SIT DOWN AND BRAINSTORM WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE COULD IMPROVE ON AND SOME PROCESSES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAD IN PLACE. SO FROM THERE THEY MET FOR WE PROBABLY GAVE THEM ABOUT AN HOUR TO SIT AND DISCUSS THESE OPTIONS AND THEN WE CAME BACK AT THE END OF THE MEETING AND WE HAD EVERYBODY REPORT BACK TO THE GROUP AND THE COMMITTEE THEIR FINDINGS. SO FROM THERE OUR TEAM WHICH WE HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF MY STAFF HERE TONIGHT ELAINE ANAYA WHO'S ONE OF OUR CTE COORDINATORS AND HEIDI CARDENAS WHO DOES OUR HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY WE AT ONE OF OUR BIWEEKLY MEETINGS WE SAT DOWN AND JUST DISCUSSED ALL THE FINDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE AND WHAT COULD WE DO ON OUR END TO WORK TO IMPLEMENT THOSE. SO WE KIND OF PUT TOGETHER A TIMELINE AND WITH THAT TIMELINE AT OUR NEXT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING WE REPORTED BACK TO THE COMMITTEE EXACTLY WHAT OUR THOUGHTS WERE AND ASKED FOR THEIR APPROVAL ON TO MOVE FORWARD. SO LET'S DISCUSS KIND OF WHAT WE DID AND WHAT WE LOOKED AT WITH SOME CONTINUING PRACTICES. SO WE HAD SOME PRACTICES IN PLACE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE. AND SO WE TOOK THESE CONTINUED PRACTICES. FOR INSTANCE WE HAVE BROCHURES IN OUR CITY DEPARTMENT THAT COVER OUR CAREER CLUSTERS OFFERED WITHIN THE DISTRICT. SO WITH THESE BROCHURES THEY'RE IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH WE MADE SURE THEY WERE UPDATED AND THEN EVERY YEAR THAT WE DO UPDATES WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RE SEND THEM BACK OUT. SO WE SENT THESE BACK OUT TO COUNSELORS TEACHERS. THIS YEAR WE ADDED THE SPECIAL ED DEPARTMENT SO THEY WERE AWARE OF THE COURSES IN EACH CAREER CLUSTER AND THEY WERE UPDATED AND PUT ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL. SO THAT WAS ONE ITEM. THE NEXT ONE IS THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS OFFER A CAREER FAIR. LAST YEAR WE WERE IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CAREER FAIRS WE ATTENDED TWO CAREER FAIRS IN THE DISTRICT. AND THEN THIS YEAR ONCE WE WERE AWARE OF THEM WE SEEK OUT AND ASKED IF WE COULD ATTEND BECAUSE WE SAW THE BENEFIT IN PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION TO THESE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. SO WE WERE ABLE TO ATTEND 10 OUT OF THE 13 CAREER FAIRS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND THEY WERE ALL WITHIN ABOUT A TWO WEEK SPAN. SO WE KIND OF DIVIDING CONQUERED AND MADE SURE THAT WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE COULD SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION. HOW BIG WAS YOUR COMMITTEE. HOW MANY MEMBERS WERE ON IT. WE OH PROBABLY CLOSE TO 20 25. OK SO YOU DIVIDED LIKE YOU SAID DIVIDE AND CONQUER. YEAH YEAH. WHEN WE DID KIND OF WHEN WE DIVIDED THEM UP AND KIND OF WORKED IN GROUPS WHO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH GROUP THAT WORKED WE HAD A PARENT WE HAD A TEACHER WE HAD AN ADMINISTRATOR OR COUNSELOR. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAD A BUSINESS PERSON FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAD A VOICE ON EACH ONE OF THOSE GROUPS THAT COULD COME UP WITH SOME SOME IDEAS. THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE KIND OF WORKED ON AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON IS OUR PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS. SO AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW DAVID HITT WAS REALLY GREAT AT PUTTING SOME PROMOTIONAL THINGS TOGETHER AND SO DAVID HAD WORKED ON SOME OF THOSE ITEMS AND THEY'RE GENERIC ACROSS THE DISTRICT. AND SO WHAT OUR GOAL IS WITH THE HELP OF OUR AUDIO VIDEO STUDENTS AT PLANO EAST AND PLANO WEST IS THAT WE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER FEEDER SPECIFIC VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SHOWN SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. WHEN I WALK IN THESE CLASSROOMS THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO SEE AND THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO EXPERIENCE. SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT. WE'VE KIND OF STARTED PUTTING TOGETHER A BLUEPRINT WITH THAT AND THEN WE HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROMOTION. WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR COURSES IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT TALK ABOUT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND IN THOSE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THAT PORTION OF THE CURRICULUM WE ALSO TALK ABOUT WHAT COURSES CAN BE TAKEN IN PLANO ISD TO HELP ALONG[01:15:05]
THE WAY. SO THEN WE LOOKED AT AS A GROUP WHAT WERE SOME NEW THINGS THAT WE COULD IMPLEMENT THIS YEAR. THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID IS WE OUR GOAL THIS YEAR AND KIND OF OUR THEME WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENTS WAS CTE CONNECTS AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE CONNECTING WITH OUR TEACHERS WE WERE CONNECTING WITH OUR STUDENTS WE WERE CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND OF COURSE CONNECTING WITH OUR CURRICULUM. AND SO THE FIRST THING WE DID AND WE STARTED THAT DURING IN SERVICE WAS WANTED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR TEACHERS CONNECT IN EACH FEEDER PATTERN. SO WE INTENTIONALLY SET SOME TIME ASIDE DURING IN-SERVICE THAT OUR TEACHERS KIDS SIT IN THERE. OUR EIGHTH GRADE OR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS ALL THE WAY UP TO OUR SENIOR HIGH TEACHERS AND THEY COULD DISCUSS ABOUT WHAT COURSES THEY TAUGHT WHAT THE COURSE CONTENT ENTAILED AND THEN ALSO WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THERE WERE FOR STUDENTS WITHIN THOSE COURSES. AND SO WE GAVE THEM SOME TIME AND IT WAS KIND OF AMAZING TO SEE. THERE WAS A YOU KNOW WE OFFER A LOT OF CLASSES. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY HERE AROUND 100 COURSES WITHIN CTE AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF COURSES THAT SOMETIMES MAYBE OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS WEREN'T AWARE OF. AND SOMETIMES EVEN OUR SENIOR HIGH TEACHERS WEREN'T AWARE OF SOME COURSES DOWN TO EIGHTH GRADE LEVEL THAT YOU KNOW PROVIDES THAT FOUNDATION FOR OUR STUDENTS. SO WE GAVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY. THE NEXT ONE WAS ONE THAT WAS DRIVEN BY OUR TEACHERS AND SOME OF OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THEY WERE FEEDER PATTERN COURSE OFFERINGS. SO WE PUT TOGETHER AND WORKED ON THIS SHEET THAT WE PUT. WE HANDED OUT TO TEACHERS SPECIAL ED AGAIN AND COUNSELORS AND IT WAS A FORM. SO IF YOU'RE A STUDENT AT MURPHY MIDDLE SCHOOL IT WOULD BE A FORM THAT PROVIDED AND HELPED WITH YOUR FOUR YEAR PLANNING.SO IF I'M SITTING IN MURPHY MIDDLE SCHOOL THEN I CAN SEE THE CTE COURSE OFFERINGS AT MCMILLAN AND THEN ALSO WHAT COURSES WOULD BE OFFER AT PLANO. SO IT KIND OF JUST GAVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT THEIR FUTURE WOULD ENTAIL. AND SO WE PUT THOSE THOSE SHEETS TOGETHER AND SENT THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT PRIOR TO SCHEDULES STARTING THIS SEMESTER. AND THEN ONE OF THE OTHER ONES WE DID WAS WITH OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY ON ONE OF THEIR IN-SERVICE DAYS TO GET THEM OUT AND REALLY STEP INSIDE OUR CLASSROOMS AND SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND A PROGRAM AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON UNTIL YOU WALK IN THERE AND YOU YOU KNOW KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN EVERYDAY CLASSROOM. AND SO WE START THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT WAS THAT FAST AND FURIOUS DAY I THINK THEY GAVE ME THREE HOURS TO GET THROUGH CTE COURSES AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOLS AND SENIOR HIGHS AND SO WE HAD ALL OF THEIR TEAM LEADERS. AND THROUGH THAT TIME WE WALKED IN AS MANY CLASSES THE TEACHERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CURRICULUM WHAT THE STUDENTS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM AND THEN ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS TO SHARE THEIR STORIES ABOUT THEIR LIFE AND CTE. CAN I ASK A REAL QUICK QUESTION. SO I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE FEEDER PATTERN OF COURSE OFFERINGS BUT ARE WE SHARING THAT INFORMATION ACROSS FEEDER PATTERNS. BECAUSE I THINK A STUDENT YOU KNOW ON THE WEST SIDE WHO MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM FOR EXAMPLE YOU KNOW WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THOSE STUDENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW THAT OK IF I HAVE A PARTICULAR PARTICULAR OFFERING IT'S ONLY IT'S IN SENIOR HIGH OR ONLY AT EAST I NEED TO TRANSFER OVER. RIGHT. YEAH THAT'S A GOOD POINT. SO SOMETHING THAT I'LL GET TO HEAR IN A MINUTE IS THAT TEA'S COMING OUT WITH WHAT'S CALLED PROGRAMS OF STUDY WITHIN IT'S A NEW KIND OF GUIDELINE THEY'RE SETTING FOR CTE. AND WITHIN THAT CTE PROGRAM STUDY SO WE STARTED WORKING ON THAT AND WE STARTED WORKING ON ANOTHER THING YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR IN A SECOND. AND ONCE TEA CAME OUT WITH THIS NEW GUIDANCE WE KINDA SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THAT STUDENTS THAT CLARITY ON THOSE PROGRAMS. HEY SO KIND OF ON THAT SAME LINE OF THOUGHT THAT DAVID HAD ON THAT FEEDER PATTERN COURSE OFFERING JUST THAT FOR ALL FEEDER PATTERNS INCLUDE THE HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY BECAUSE THAT IS OFFERED TO ALL STUDENTS. YEAH. SO WE WE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE LISTED IT ON THERE BUT BECAUSE THE HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY HAS THEIR SEPARATE ADVERTISEMENT THAT WE SHARE AS WELL. SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS SO I TOTALLY HAD THE SAME THOUGHT. DAVID I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT KIDS DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY CAN ONLY STAY IN THEIR YOU KNOW FEEDER PATTERN BECAUSE THEY CAN GO WHEREVER THEY WANT AS LONG AS THERE'S CAPACITY IF THEY BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE. SO THAT'S ONE THING. AND THE SECOND ONE IS IN IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT OF THE OFFERINGS AND SO FORTH. SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE COLLIN COLLEGE TECHNICAL PROGRAMMING BECAUSE IT WILL BE FOR THESE KIDS THAT ARE IN I THINK EIGHTH GRADE RIGHT NOW. SO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND YOU CAN TRANSFER AND YOU CAN HAVE THESE THINGS OR YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRANSFER AND YOU CAN HAVE THESE THINGS RIGHT. SO THAT'S NUMBER TWO AND THE THIRD ONE IS DID YOU GUYS TALK AT ALL ABOUT SOME KIND OF NIGHTTIME DISTRICT WIDE CAREER FAIR SO THAT FAMILIES CAN COME TOGETHER AND UNDERSTAND THE BREADTH OF THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT CAN OFFER ITS CULINARY
[01:20:05]
ITS AUTO BODY ITS ITS [INAUDIBLE] IT'S ALL THESE THINGS SO THAT THE WHOLE IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE STUDENTS AND MAY BE ORGANIZING THAT BEFORE THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS BEGINS SO MAYBE LIKE IN SEVENTH GRADE OR SOMETHING. SO WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT AND THAT'S COMING UP HERE IN A SECOND WITH SOMETHING THAT COMMITTEE KIND OF PROPOSED WITH THE CITY OPEN HOUSE WHERE WE HAD ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS OPEN WHERE PARENTS AND STUDENTS COULD WALK IN TOGETHER AND KIND OF SEE WHAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE ABOUT. AND SO WE KNEW THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD IMPLEMENT IMMEDIATELY THIS YEAR BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING FOR THE FUTURE IN KIND OF A PARTNERSHIP WITH LIKE A CTE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM WITH STUDENTS TO BE OUR AMBASSADORS. SO I GUESS CARRYING ON WITH THE REPOSITORY THEME FROM THE LAST PRESENTATION YOU KNOW THIS WOULD BE PERFECT TO HAVE A CENTRALIZED LOCATION THAT OFFERED THAT SHOWCASES ALL OF OUR CTE OFFERINGS WHERE YOU COULD TAKE THE VIDEOS THAT ARE BEING DONE ON A FEEDER PATTERN LEVEL AND PUBLISH THOSE ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SO THAT AGAIN WE CAN ELIMINATE TIME AND SPACE PROBLEMS BY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO HAVE A CENTRAL LOCATION TO GO AND SEE THE OFFERINGS. I KNOW WE DO ALREADY. YEAH. BUT TO EVEN TO MAKE IT EVEN EVEN BETTER. YEAH. SO WHEN ON OUR PLANS FOR OUR '19 '20 I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND JUMP DOWN TO THAT THIRD BULLET BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT IT IS ONE OF OUR THINGS IS WE WANT TO DO A WEBSITE REDESIGN AND SO WE KNOW WE HAVE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR WEBSITE HAS ALL OF THESE THINGS AND SO WE WANT IT TO BE A PLACE THAT IS USER FRIENDLY FOR ALL VISITORS WHETHER IT'S STUDENTS THE COMMUNITY ITS PARENTS BUT IT'S INFORMATION WHERE YOU CAN FIND FEEDER SPECIFIC INFORMATION BUT YOU CAN ALSO FIND GENERIC INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL FOR EVERYONE. SO THAT WAS MY THIRD. IS THAT PART OF THE PISD WEBSITE. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. OK. YEAH IT'S JUST FOR PISD.WOULD YOU ALSO INCORPORATE SOME OUTSIDE INFORMATION LIKE. I THINK IT'S COLLEGE BOARD THAT HAS A LOT OF I MEAN THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES THAT HAVE CAREER INFORMATION FOR EXPLORATION PURPOSES. WOULD THAT BE RELATED TO THESE THINGS YOU KIND OF HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANTED WHAT'S AVAILABLE LIKE IN THE WORLD TO THEN GO OH AND THIS IS A MATCH WITH WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFERS. SO OUR WEBSITE CURRENTLY HAS SOME RESOURCES ON THEM THAT THEY CAN DO THAT AND THEY CAN LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO WITH THAT AS WE'VE REDESIGNED WE WILL ALSO LOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THINGS OR IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN TALK ABOUT ALL CAREER CLUSTERS OR PATHWAYS FOR INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS. AND I THINK THE PROGRAM A STUDY THAT I'M GOING TO COVER AT THE END WILL KIND OF TIE ALL OF THIS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. IS THIS A PROJECT THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY WORK ON WITH GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I USE NAVIANCE BUT IT WASN'T THAT GREAT THEN AND SO THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT PULLS TOGETHER THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A COUNSELOR'S OFFICE AND PICK UP A PIECE OF PAPER THAT WE COULD HAVE IS A DOWNLOADABLE PDA. SO I KNOW DAN THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE ASKED YOU ABOUT IN THE PAST. I MEAN IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE ALL THIS IS SORT OF ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR PARENTS AND EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO THE SAME INFORMATION. SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD I LIKE READING AHEAD IN TERMS OF THE DUAL CREDIT CLASSES SO GLAD TO SEE THE EXPANSION INTO BIOLOGY INTO SPEECH BECAUSE IF YOU GO AND DO A STUDY OF UNTS PROGRAMS IN A COUPLE OF MAJOR AREAS EDUCATION BUSINESS AND A COUPLE OTHERS YOU'LL FIND THAT AS WE ENRICH OUR CREDIT KIDS CAN GET THROUGH THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THOSE PROGRAMS WHILE STILL UNDER OUR ROOF. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE EVEN THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE BECAUSE MORE KIDS AND MORE FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR COLLEGE. WE HAVE THE COURSES WE JUST DON'T SHOW THEM HOW TO PUT THEM TOGETHER. SO IF WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE DEGREE PLANS FROM SOME OF OUR LOCAL UNIVERSITIES ON AND SHOW HOW WE DO THIS MATCHING YOU TAKE THESE DUAL CREDIT YOU'VE GOT TWO YEARS DONE FOR YOUR BUSINESS DEGREE AT UNT. THAT WOULD BE A HUGE SERVICE TO OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES RIGHT. ON THE NAVIANCE PIECE.
JANA AND I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT COULD IT LOOK LIKE WHEN A STUDENT GOES IN AND DOES YOU KNOW THEIR CAREER EXPLORATION AND LOOKS AT THAT. WOULD THERE THEN BE A POSSIBILITY SAY YOU WANT TO BE AN ENGINEER. COULD IT THEN POPULATE THE COURSES WITHIN PLANO ISD THAT SAY IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ENGINEER THEN HERE'S YOUR PATHWAY THAT YOU WOULD TAKE TO COMPLETE CERTIFICATIONS TIED TO IT WITHIN THE DISTRICT. SO THAT'D BE GREAT. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN COLLEGE. I WANT TO GO TO COLLIN COLLEGE AND UNT. WHAT CAN PLANO PULL TOGETHER SO I CAN MINIMIZE MY OUT OF POCKET AND STILL ACHIEVE THAT WHILE I HAVE TO WORK 20 HOURS A WEEK RIGHT. I DON'T THINK CURRENTLY AND I'LL BE HONEST HAS THAT CAPABILITY BUT JANA FELT. OH SHE JUST STEPPED OUT. I THINK JANA FELT THAT EVENTUALLY THAT PROCESS COULD BE YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY LOOKED INTO. AND I WOULDN'T USE NAVIANCE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED THE PEOPLE WHO JUST IN THE COMMUNITY KIDS COMING UP COULD
[01:25:03]
LOOK AT THAT EASILY EVEN BEFORE THEY LEARN THE NAVIANCE PASSWORD IN WAYS. RIGHT. TAMMY THE SOME OF THE COLLIN COLLEGE CANDIDATES HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT ABOUT WITH ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE WORKING MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER DIRECTLY WITH THEM TO DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING. SO I THINK THAT'S A REAL RICH OPPORTUNITY FOR US. YOU KNOW ONE FINAL THING I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE WEBSITE REDESIGN AND AGAIN HARKENING BACK TO THE LAST PRESENTATION. THIS COULD BE A TWO WAY STREET. YOU KNOW THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ALSO SHOWCASE TO EMPLOYERS AND POTENTIAL PARTNERS BUSINESS PARTNERS WHAT WE ARE WHAT PROGRAMS WE HAVE WHERE WE HAVE THEM AND CREATE INTERNSHIPS CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR KIDS ETC. BUT AGAIN IT'S A TWO WAY STREET WITH THAT INFORMATION HAS TO FLOW OUT AS MUCH AS IT FLOWS IN. RIGHT. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING INTO '19 '20 AND WE'RE WORKING ON THIS GOAL AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON AS WELL AS SO WE HAVE KIND OF LIKE THE CLUSTER INFORMATION BUT ALSO COURSE PATHWAYS. SO AS A FRESHMAN IF I WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT WHAT CLASSES DO I NEED TO TAKE. AND SO IT'S A PATHWAY THAT WILL BE PROMOTED AND TEA IS ABOUT TO RELEASE. WE HOPE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED A PROGRAM STUDY AGAIN THAT WILL GIVE US THAT GUIDANCE AND KIND OF OUTLINE WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. AND SO ONE OF OUR PLANS IS TO WORK ACTIVELY ON THAT BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TO IMPLEMENT THAT STARTING IN 2021. ANOTHER THING IS IT'S PROVIDING A COUNSELOR TOUR AND SO WE KNOW THAT OUR COUNSELORS ARE GREAT ADVOCATES FOR OUR PROGRAMS AND SO AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM INTO OUR PROGRAMS AND INTO OUR CLASSROOMS. THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND AND HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY'RE THEN ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND SHARE WITH THEIR STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOM. SO JANA AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND WE'LL LOOK INTO PUT A DATE DOWN FOR THE FALL AND THEN HOPEFULLY A LITTLE LESS BUSIER AND THEY'RE NOT WITHIN A YOU KNOW NOT DOING SCHEDULE SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE PLANNED THAT WE WOULD ACTIVELY LIKE TO WORK ON IN '19 '20 AND THEN THE WEBSITE REDESIGN. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON AND START THIS SUMMER SO THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY HAVE IT COMPLETED. AND THEN JUST UPDATE AS NEEDED. SO ON OUR SECOND GOAL WAS EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE ATTAINMENT OF THE ASSOCIATES DEGREE FOR HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY STUDENTS. AND SO THERE WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS GOAL WE REALIZED THAT WAS THREE THINGS THAT WE WERE LACKING FOR OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. NUMBER ONE WAS THE DUAL CREDIT BIOLOGY THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN '19 '20 AND SO WE CURRENTLY ALREADY HAVE STUDENTS ENROLLED OUR NUMBER TWO WAS DUAL CREDIT SPEECH WHICH WILL BE PROPOSED AND HOPEFULLY ROLLED OUT IN 2021 AND THEN A CAPSTONE COURSE THAT COLLIN WILL BE REQUIRED THAT WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO ONE OF OUR CURRENT COURSES THAT THEY OFFER. AND COLLIN WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT AND ARE CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT WITH COLLIN ON THAT PIECE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR HOUSE SCIENCE STUDENTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE 301 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN OUR HEALTH SCIENCES ACADEMY AND THAT'S 9 THROUGH 12. AS A FRESHMAN A STUDENT TAKES THEY START TAKING ARTICULATED CREDITS AS A SOPHOMORE THEY ENROLL IN COLLIN COLLEGE AND START THEIR WORKFORCE CREDIT AND THEN THEIR JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEAR THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A DUAL CREDIT ACADEMICS AND SO AS THEY GO THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AND WE HAVE THOSE PIECES THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. SO TO TAKE THOSE COURSES AND GET THAT ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT ASSOCIATE DEGREE THOSE CHANGES WHEN WE ADD THAT IN WILL ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO OBTAIN LIKE I SAID A ASSOCIATES DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCE AND THIS DEGREE WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND IT CAN HELP THEM TO ENTER THE WORKFORCE OR ALSO HELP THEM SECURE A JOB TO MAKE SOME MONEY WHILE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE. KAREN CAN I ASK A QUESTION. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE CAPSTONE COURSE IS. I KNOW WE HAD THAT PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THAT CAPSTONE COURSE IS SOMETHING NEW SO THEY. AND WHEN WE TALKED TO COLLIN ABOUT THE PIECES THAT WE WERE MISSING TO GET THAT ASSOCIATES DEGREE THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO BE JUST KIND OF A SHORT LITTLE COURSE THAT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT IT'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS LONG AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO EMBED IT IN ONE OF THE COURSES THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY TAKING. SO THERE'S SOMETHING NEW THAT'S PROBABLY HASN'T BEEN DISCUSSED. OKAY. AND THAT'S WELL I THINK I REMEMBER HEARING THE DUAL CREDIT PRESENTATION OF A MONTH OR SO AGO BUT SO THAT'S WHAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR THEM TO FINALIZE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY GET FROM US IN THE PROGRAM THEY'LL GET THEIR ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. THAT'S A LITTLE PIECE. THEY CAN. THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT IF THEY ARE ABLE TO GET ALL THE CREDITS THAT THEY NEED. SO YOU KNOW THE STUDENTS HAVE THE OPTION ON WHAT CREDIT ACADEMICS. OK. THANK YOU. YEAH. SO THEN I WHAT I DID THIS YEAR WAS I HAD THREE VIDEOS FROM THREE MEMBERS AND I WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK ON KIND OF THEIR EXPERIENCE. SO THE FIRST PERSON YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM IS RUTHIE GRAY AND RUTHIE IS A PARENT WHO SERVED ON OUR COMMITTEE BUT SHE IS ALSO A BUSINESS WOMAN IN THE COMMUNITY AND HER SON ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH OUR AUTOMOTIVE PROGRAM AND IS HAS A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AT PARK PLACE LEUX WHICH IF ANY OF YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT PARK PLACE IT IS NOT AN EASY PLACE TO GET[01:30:04]
INTO. AND SO HE IS DOING GREAT THINGS HE HAS GONE BACK AND TALKED TO SOME OF OUR STUDENTS AT PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. SO THIS IS RUTHIE GRAY.THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR ON THE COMMITTEE. I WORK FOR A SOFTWARE COMPANY IN MCKINNEY TEXAS BUT I'M A PARENT OF THREE STUDENTS WHO HAVE REALLY BENEFITED FROM THE CTE PROGRAM. ONE WHO DID THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAM IS ABOUT TO GRADUATE WITH HER TEACHING DEGREE ONE WHO WENT THROUGH THE AUTOMOTIVE TECH AND WORKED FROM PARK PLACE LEXUS AND ONE WHO'S GOTTEN A LOT OF HIS BUSINESS CERTIFICATIONS MICROSOFT OFFICE CERTIFICATIONS THROUGH BUSINESS COURSES. SO I REALLY HAVE A PASSION FOR THIS PROGRAM. I'VE BEEN REALLY IMPRESSED THIS YEAR WITH HOW THE COMMITTEE HAS WORKED. WE WERE TASKED WITH HOW TO MAKE 8TH GRADERS MORE AWARE OF THE PROGRAM. WE GAVE A LOT OF IDEAS AND A NUMBER OF MEETINGS AND ACTUALLY SEEING KAREN COME BACK AND SAY THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED ALREADY. THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO IMPLEMENT NEXT. IT'S BEEN VERY REWARDING.
I'M VERY HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE PROGRAM. AND THEN NEXT WE HAVE GREG GOMEL WHO IS PART OF THE GOMEL GROUP WHO'S ALSO HERE IN PLANO AND HE'S BEEN A MEMBER ON OUR COMMITTEE FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. NAME IS GREG GEMMELL WITH THE GOMEL GROUP.
I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE CTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITHIN THE PLANO ISD AND THE IMPACT WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE WITH STUDENTS LIVES. THE PREVIOUS YEAR WE HAD A BIG FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY IN AREAS LIKE CYBERSECURITY AND IT WAS JUST FANTASTIC.
THIS PAST YEAR WE MOVED INTO SOME NEW AREAS AS WELL. LOOKING AT WHAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DOES WITH ANIMAL HUSBANDRY WITH HEALTH CARE AND WE'VE EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO VISIT PLANO EAST AND VISIT THE CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM. THE IMPACT THIS HAS FOR EVERY STUDENT THAT WANTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT IS PHENOMENAL. IT GIVES THEM A BALANCE OF BEING ABLE TO IMPROVE THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER ALONG WITH BUILDING UP SOME TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES IT PREPARES THEM FOR A FUTURE WHERE THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN WHATEVER DIRECTION THEY WANT TO GO. THANK YOU. AND THEN LAST WE HAVE KELLY NEWMAN AND SHE SHE HAD A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. SHE'S AN EIGHTH GRADE COUNSELOR AT RENNER. I'M KELLY NEWMAN AND I AM A COUNSELOR RRENNER MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR ON THE COMMITTEE. SO I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AND THIS YEAR HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO ALL OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO BRING THAT BACK TO OUR STUDENTS AND HELP STUDENTS BE AWARE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES THAT THEY HAVE AND SHARING THOSE WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE OTHER COUNSELORS AND TEACHERS WHO CAN KIND OF PLANT A BUG IN STUDENTS EARS AT A YOUNGER AGE SO WHEN THEY GET TO HIGH SCHOOL THEY HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT'S IN STORE. ALL RIGHT. SO AS WE FINISH UP THIS YEAR AND WORK ON SOME GOALS WE HAVE OUR GOALS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST FOR A '19 '20 SCHOOL YEAR. AND SO FROM THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE FROM OUR COMMITTEE WE KNOW THAT THIS FIRST GOAL IS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE ONGOING FOR SOME TIME AS COURSES CHANGE AND CHANGES FROM TEA COME OUT. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WHETHER IT'S A GOAL OR NOT IT'S GONNA BE ON OUR TO DO LIST. YEAR AFTER YEAR AND SO WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS GOAL ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO PARENT INFORMATION SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT GETTING THIS INFORMATION TO STUDENTS IS IMPORTANT BUT REACHING AND THE PARENTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT. AND SO WE'D REALLY LIKE TO WORK TO REACH THOSE PARENTS AND THEN ONCE PROGRAMS THE STUDIES ARE SET WE'LL ALSO HAVE TO GO BACK AND ANALYZE THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE THIS PAST YEAR. SO THAT BRINGS US TO OUR SECOND GOAL FOR THIS NEXT YEAR THAT WE'D LIKE TO SUGGEST. AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE TEA WILL BE RELEASING PROGRAMS THE STUDIES WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH PROGRAMS THE STUDY WILL BE REQUIRED BY CTE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE STATE AND WE'LL OUTLINE CTE COURSES A STUDENT WOULD TAKE DURING THEIR FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL. AND SO WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IS THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH STUDENTS WHAT THE COURSES ARE WHAT THE WORKING WORKFORCE NEEDS ARE THE POTENTIAL PAY SCALES AND POSSIBLE CERTIFICATIONS WHEN THEY DECIDE TO GO DOWN THIS PROGRAM OF STUDY. SO WITH OUR 9, 10, 11, 12 SET UP WE WILL HAVE TAKE SOME TIME TO REVIEW THE PROGRAMS WE CURRENTLY OFFER AND MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS AND ALSO STAYING IN THE TEA GUIDELINES. AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE SECOND GOAL THAT WE'D LIKE TOE PROPOSE. AND THEN OF COURSE I JUST WANT TO TAKE TIME TO THANK OUR COMMITTEE WE KNOW THAT COMING IN THE EVENINGS IS NOT AN EASY TASK AND SPENDING TIME AND WORKING ON OUR GOALS FOR OUR STUDENTS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. AND I THINK THAT WE'RE LUCKY IN THE CTE COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM VALUABLE STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE DISTRICT. WE HAVE TEACHERS AND THE COUNSELORS AND OF COURSE THE BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE THE REAL LIFE SKILLS THAT WE NEED AND HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S OUT THERE OUTSIDE OF EDUCATION AND SO THEY'RE VERY VALUABLE TO OUR PROGRAM. AND SO OUR GOAL IN OUR CITY DEPARTMENT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HELP STUDENTS FIND THE PASSION IN LIFE. AND WE HOPE THAT WE
[01:35:01]
FIND THAT PASSION THROUGH OUR CTE. PROGRAMS. KAREN I WANT TO THANK YOU AND I WAS ACTUALLY PROUD TO SAY THAT I APPOINTED RUTHIE TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE AND SHE'S LOVED IT. SHE IS IS SHE'S VERY ANIMATED FEELS LIKE HER TIME HAS BEEN VERY WELL USED. SHE LOVES THAT THE THINGS YOU ARE THAT SHE SUGGESTS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL MAKING IT WORTHWHILE FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TIME AND MAKING THEM FEEL VALUED AND GOOD CONTRIBUTORS. THANKS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. BEFORE WE HEAR OUR NEXT REPORT WHICH IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE BUDGET I CAN TELL YOU I'M JUST GONNA DO A LITTLE TIME CHECK IT'S ABOUT 8:30 AND THE BUDGET CONVERSATION IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOUR SO I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE A LITTLE BRIEF RECESS BEFORE WE BEGIN THE REST OF THE MEETING.IS THAT OK. ALL RIGHT. SO COME BACK HERE AT 8:35. CLASS IS BACK IN SESSION. THE BOARD WILL NOW HEAR A REPORT THAT ENSURES EFFICIENT USE OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN BUDGETING. RANDY MCDOWELL CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER WILL PRESENT A 2019 '20 BUDGET UPDATE TO THE BOARD. RANDY. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BENDER. THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A CHALLENGING BUDGET. I THINK THAT'S NO SECRET TO THE BOARD. WHAT WE ARE FACING A SIGNIFICANT BUDGET SHORTFALL UNDER THE CURRENT SCHOOL FINANCE FORMULAS AND THAT IS PRIMARILY DUE TO A REVENUE SHORTFALL MORE SO THAN THE EXPENDITURE INCREASE. THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH A FOCUS ON SCHOOL FINANCE AND PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IS ONGOING AND THAT MAKES IT VERY CHALLENGING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL THAT'S GOING TO LAND AND AT THIS POINT I'D SAY PREDICTING HOW PLANO IS GOING TO COME OUT IS CLOUDY AT BEST. WE WE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CHANGING A LONGTIME BUDGET PROCESS HERE AND GOING TO A ZERO BASED BUDGET PROCESS AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR OUR CABINET LEVEL BUT ALSO ALL THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND DIRECTORS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HARD EVERYONE'S BEEN WORKING TRYING TO DIG DEEP INTO THEIR BUDGETS AND BUDGET VERY ACCURATELY BUT AND THEN ALSO SEE WHAT WE WHAT CAN BE ELIMINATED OUT OF THOSE SO THERE'S BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF WORK GOING ON. ALSO WE HAVE SOME NEW BUDGET LEADERSHIP ELAINE COGBURN IS HERE THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW DIRECTOR OF BUDGET AND COMPLIANCE SHERRA MCGAHA. THEY ARE GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE REALLY WELL REALLY QUICK BECAUSE THEY'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO DIG INTO BUDGETS. AND SO IT'S REALLY BEEN A TEAM APPROACH BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S EFFORTS AS FAR AS TALKING ABOUT THE '19 '20 BUDGET PROCESS WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME OF THESE SO I'LL DO THEM QUICKLY. THE BOARD IS AWARE THAT CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS WERE REVISED THE WAY THAT WE BUDGET ON CAMPUSES AND ALLOCATIONS ARE NOW BASED ON SPECIAL STUDENT POPULATIONS. SO THE CAMPUSES ARE GETTING ALLOTMENTS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION BY BILINGUAL ESL BY GIFTED AND TALENTED BY AT RISK. THAT'S OUR COMP ED FUNDS AND THEN ALSO CAREER TECHNOLOGY. WE DID INCREASE WHAT THEY'RE INITIALLY GIVEN AND WE'RE GIVING 90 PERCENT OF THAT CALCULATED AMOUNT UP FRONT INSTEAD OF 80 PERCENT. AND SO HOPEFULLY EVEN CAMPUSES CAN DO BETTER BUDGETING UP FRONT OF GOING AHEAD AND BUDGET 90 PERCENT OF WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO RECEIVE. RANDY JUST TO ASK A QUESTION. I KNOW WHEN WE SAW THE DETAILED SPREADSHEET BACK IN NOVEMBER THERE WERE STILL A FEW AREAS THAT WERE TBD PARTICULARLY AROUND TITLE 1 MONEY. AND SO THERE WERE SOME SCHOOLS IT WAS HARD TO GET THE FULL PICTURE. WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON WHO'S GOING TO BE ON CAMPUS HAVE YOU ALL FINALIZED THOSE AND CAN YOU SEND THAT TO THE BOARD. AND ARE YOU TALKING ON STAFFING ALLOCATIONS. YES WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THOSE AS WE'RE STILL WORKING ON OUR TITLE 1 ALLOTMENTS FOR THE COMING YEAR. AND SO I SEE THAT PLAYING OUT MORE IN MAY AND JUNE 4 FOR US TO GIVE MORE OF THAT NAILED DOWN. OKAY BECAUSE IT'LL BE IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT FULL PICTURE OKAY. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE ZERO BASE BUDGET WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR DEPARTMENTS AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE CAMPUSES AROUND PROJECTED ENROLLMENT AND THEIR PROJECTED STUDENT AND THEIR SPECIAL POPULATIONS AT EACH CAMPUS.
ANY NEW INITIATIVES WERE TREATED AS LEVEL TWO ALL OF THOSE WERE REVIEWED BY CABINET.
WE'VE ALSO REALLY TRIED TO CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF CONTINGENCY FUNDS THAT ARE IN THE BUDGET. WE REALLY TRY TO TIGHTEN THAT UP. AND SO WHAT WE DON'T WE WANT TO GET BETTER AT WHAT PICTURE WE PRESENTED AND ADOPT THE BUDGET THAT IS CLOSER TO WHERE WE END THE END OF THE YEAR. AND SO REALLY TRYING TO MAKE DECISIONS AND TRY TO TIGHTEN THAT UP MORE ON A TIGHTER BUDGET DEPARTMENT BUDGETS AND STAFFING REQUESTS
[01:40:05]
WERE ALL REVIEWED BY CABINET I BELIEVE WE HAD TWO TO THREE DIFFERENT MEETINGS. WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM AND REALLY GONE THROUGH ALL THAT IN DETAIL. AND SO AGAIN APPRECIATE CABINETS EFFORTS THERE. I JUST WANT TO START BY SETTING THE STAGE. SO I MEAN ONE THOUGHT IS HOW DO WE GET FROM A 3 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT WHICH IS WHAT WE ADOPTED THIS YEAR TO A 30 PLUS MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT BUDGET OVERNIGHT. AND SO WHAT WE DID IS WE JUST PUT TOGETHER SOME OF THE KEY THINGS SOME SOME OF THE BIG DRIVERS IN THIS. SO AGAIN IF WE JUST CARRIED OVER THE SAME BUDGET WE STARTED WITH JUST OVER A 3 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR WE LOST ABOUT 950 STUDENTS. WE'RE PROJECTING TO GO DOWN ABOUT ANOTHER 600-700 NEXT YEAR. AND SO JUST THE LARGER 600. SO THE LOSS OF AN ADDITIONAL 600 STUDENTS IS JUST UNDER A 4 MILLION DOLLAR REVENUE LOSS. IN ADDITION TO THAT BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CHIEF APPRAISER WE'RE PROJECTING 6.5 PERCENT PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH AT THIS POINT LAST YEAR WE HAD AN 8.8. AND SO THAT COST US ABOUT 10.4 MILLION JUST BECAUSE PROPERTY VALUES AREN'T INCREASING AS MUCH AS THEY DID THE PRIOR YEAR. AND THAT'S CATCHING UP TO US AND THE STATE FUNDING FORMULAS. IT'S ALSO THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM IN '19 '20 AND SO THOSE ARE THE YEARS THAT ARE AVAILABLE SCHOOL FUND IS LESS THAT CYCLICAL FROM ONE YEAR TO ANOTHER AND SO IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM WE'RE DOWN ABOUT 9.1 MILLION. SO THOSE THREE BETWEEN THE LOSS OF STUDENTS THE PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH PROJECTED TO BE LESS AND THE LOSS OF THE REDUCTION IN AVAILABLE SCHOOL FUNDING THE FIRST YEAR THAT'S 12.45 MILLION IN ITSELF. SO WHEN YOU ADD THAT TO THE PRIOR YEAR DEFICIT THAT WE STARTED WITH THAT'S ABOUT 26.5 MILLION RIGHT THERE OF CHANGE ARE TAKING US TO A DEFICIT OF THAT THEN WHEN WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. YES. ON THE LOSS OF STUDENTS THAT'S MORE STUDENTS GRADUATING THAN ARE COMING IN KINDER CORRECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT LOSING STUDENTS. NO AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT. AS WE KNOW PLANO ISD IS DECLINING IN ENROLLMENT. THE THE SIGNIFICANT FACTOR THERE IS OUR LARGEST GRADE LEVELS ARE IN SECONDARY SO WHEN A SENIOR CLASS GRADUATES THE KINDERGARTEN CLASSES COMING IN 400-600 STUDENTS SMALLER THAN THE GRADUATING CLASS SO ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE SOME OF THE BIGGER CHANGES THERE AND AGAIN THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES TAKING PLACE. BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT JUST TO TRY TO GIVE YOU A BETTER FEEL SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE DRAFT BUDGET A 2 PERCENT SALARY INCREASE THAT COST ABOUT 6.4 MILLION. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INSPIRE PROGRAM THAT WE'VE BEEN OVER WITH THE BOARD ON OUR BEHAVIORAL UNITS COSTS WITH THE COSTS ABOUT 1.6 MILLION IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRANSFORMATION GRANT PROJECT THERE IS A LOCAL SHARE AND WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 282 THOUSAND ADDITIONAL FUNDS THERE. INCREASE FUEL COSTS FOR VEHICLES AND BUSES WE'RE PROJECTING RIGHT NOW ABOUT 327 THOUSAND. WE ARE BUDGETING LESS IN UTILITIES THAT'S DOWN ABOUT 134. INCREASED PROPERTY INSURANCE.WE'RE WORKING ON RENEWAL YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE'RE OPTIMISTICALLY ADDING 200,000 WE'LL KNOW MORE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE MARKET HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER IT'S ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. INCREASE TO THE AVID BUDGET OF SOME OF THIS WAS FUNDED PREVIOUSLY OUT OF GRANTS AND DONATIONS AND TO CONTINUE THAT WILL COST THE LOCAL THE GENERAL FUND ABOUT 153 THOUSAND. THE ADDITION OF THE 12 RESOURCE OFFICERS TO ADD VEHICLES FOR THEM NEXT YEAR IS AN ADDITIONAL COST OF ABOUT 480,000. AND THEN WE HAVE REDUCTIONS IN DEPARTMENT BUDGETS THAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT JUST OVER 2 MILLION. SO THAT'S ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES IF YOU JUST TAKE THOSE AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE LARGER ONES THAT'S ABOUT 7.3 MILLION. OBVIOUSLY THE THE LARGEST ONE OF THOSE IS THE 6.4 PERCENT SALARY INCREASE THAT WE JUST GOT IN THERE IS A PLACE HOLDER WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DOES. BUT IF YOU TAKE THAT WITH THE REVENUE LOSSES IN IN THE BEGINNING A DEFICIT OF JUST OVER 3 MILLION SO THAT WOULD GET US IF YOU TAKE THOSE FACTORS ABOUT 33.7 MILLION DEFICIT. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AGAIN OF HOW DID WE GET FROM 3 MILLION DEFICIT TO HERE OVERNIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THE BIG MAJORITY OF THAT THOUGH IS A ABOUT A 23 MILLION DOLLAR REVENUE LOSS FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. SO RANDY ON THE AVID GRANT DID THE GRANT JUST END OR DID WE LOSE IT FOR SOME PERFORMANCE REASON. SO THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION HAD A GRANT THAT HAD A TERM OF A PERIOD OF TIME
[01:45:05]
AND THAT GRANT CYCLE IS ENDING. SO THE FOUNDATION IS I'M WORKING WITH THEM TO GO OUT AND FIND ADDITIONAL SOURCES THAT WE PUT IT IN THE BUDGET JUST SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE IT THERE. AND THEN IF THE FOUNDATION IF THAT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT GETS FUNDED THEN WE WILL RECOUP THAT. WAS THAT UNITED WAY OR CFT? THE LARGE BUDGET DRIVERS THIS IS JUST A RECAP OF THAT. BUT AGAIN THESE ARE THE FACTORS THAT ARE REALLY CHANGING THE PICTURE FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. SO THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS ARE DOWN AGAIN DOWN 6 PROJECTING GO DOWN ANOTHER 600 STUDENTS FOR THE COMING YEAR PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH IS ALSO DOWN 8.5 PERCENT TO 6.5 PERCENT PROJECTED STATE AID IS DOWN BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABLE SCHOOL FUND BEING DOWN 9.1 MILLION IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM AND RECAPTURE IS. SO WHILE PROPERTY TAXES IT'S 6.5 PERCENT GROWTH ARE PROJECTED TO GO UP 37.6 MILLION RECAPTURE IS GOING UP 47.3 MILLION.SO THAT'S A 10 MILLION DOLLAR LOSS. AGAIN THAT 10 MILLION DOLLARS THAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER. BUT THAT'S AGAIN OUR RECAPTURE IS GOING UP FASTER THAN OUR PROPERTY TAXES ARE. I HAVE TO COMMEND YOU RANDY. IT'S 100% EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ARROWS IS EXACTLY WRONG. THAT'S CORRECT. WE WISH THEY WERE ALL GOING THE OPPOSITE. CORRECT. HIS PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN RIGHT. YOUR PROJECTIONS I MEAN YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE LAST YEAR SO THAT THIS IS WHAT'S COMING THIS IS WHAT'S COMING AND NOW THIS IS WHAT'S HERE. SO AS WE'RE GOING TO TOTAL DEPARTMENT BUDGETS. SO THE CURRENT YEAR IN WHAT WE DID IS WE'RE DOING A COMPARISON TO THE AMENDED BUDGET AND SO THE AMENDED DEPARTMENT BUDGETS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET ARE 77.4 MILLION.
THE '19 '20 PROPOSED BUDGETS AFTER MUCH WORK. WE'RE SETTING AT 75.4 MILLION AND SO THAT'S THAT DECREASE OF JUST OVER 2 MILLION OR ABOUT 2.6 PERCENT AS WE DIG INTO THE TO THE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL THESE NUMBERS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO BUT I'M I'M HAPPY TO ELABORATE ON. I'VE GOT MORE NOTES OVER HERE IF YOU'VE GOT HARD QUESTIONS. ONE THING THAT IS IN THE AMENDED BUDGET IS WE GOT INTO THESE AND WE KNEW WE WERE REDUCING BUT SOME OF THESE WERE REDUCING MORE THAN WHAT WE THOUGHT. AND PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE A ROLLOVER PURCHASE ORDERS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR SO THOSE ARE IN THE AMENDED BUDGETS SO IF SOMETHING WAS ORDERED. LET'S SAY LAST JUNE AND IT DIDN'T COME IN AND THE DISTRICT HAS HAD THE PRACTICE WE WILL ROLL THAT P.L. OVER AND WE WILL INCREASE YOUR BUDGET IN THE NEW YEAR SO WE DON'T WE DON'T REQUIRE THAT TO BE MOVED OVER AND TAKEN OUT OF NEW YEAR MONEY. WE'VE GIVEN THAT AS ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND SO THAT HAS INFLATED SOME OF THE AMENDED BUDGET NUMBERS WE HAD A HARD TIME USING ORIGINAL BUDGET THOUGH BECAUSE BECAUSE DEPARTMENTS WERE JUST BUDGETING WHAT THEY HAD THE YEAR BEFORE AND WE HAD THIS LARGE CONTINGENCY AND THEN WE WOULD FLOW MORE MONEY IN AS NEEDED. SO EITHER ONE BECAUSE WE'VE CHANGED THE BUDGET PROCESS MAKES IT SOMEWHAT HARD TO COMPARE. WE FELT LIKE AMENDED BUDGET WAS THE BETTER COMPARISON BUT THERE'S STILL BEEN SOME SOME STRONG REDUCTIONS OVERALL IN BUDGETS. AND CAN YOU ADDRESS THE CHANGE IN THE SPECIAL ED BUDGET AND THE SECONDARY ACADEMICS. ONE IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE AND ONE IS A PRETTY GOOD DECREASE. YES SO A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE IS SPECIAL ED. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INCREASES THERE'S SOME OF THAT IS THAT INSPIRE PROGRAM GETTING THAT'S GOING FOR THE FIRST YEAR THERE'S MORE CONSULTING COST. SO THERE'S THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS AND SPECIAL ED CONTINUES TO GO UP AT A FASTER PACE THAN ANY OTHER AREA IN THE BUDGET. THAT'S NOT JUST UNIQUE TO PLANO ISD THAT'S THAT IS IN ALL DISTRICTS. SO. SO THOSE ARE TWO THE PRIMARY FACTORS. SO THE THE ENTIRE INSPIRE 1.6 FALLS UNDER THAT SPECIAL EDUCATION LINE ITEM. NO IT DOES NOT. SO THIS IS ONLY THE NON SALARY COMPONENT. OK OK. WE ALSO HAD TO ADD BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING ANOTHER STUDENT GOING TO A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY. I SEE PAULA BACK THERE IN THE BACK AND THAT THAT COMES WITH A BIG PRICE TAG AS WELL. AND THEN RANDY WHAT WOULD THE ACADEMIC GENERAL ACADEMIC SERVICES WHY IS THAT. WHAT DO WHAT DO THE GENERAL ACADEMIC SERVICES THIS SEPARATE ITEM WHY IS THAT. YEAH WHAT'S THE DECREASE. WHAT ARE WE NOT BEING ABLE TO DO BECAUSE OF THAT.
SO THERE WAS THERE WERE ALSO SOME SHIFTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE CURRICULUM BUDGET FROM ONE CATEGORY TO ANOTHER. AND THE NOTE I HAVE ON THAT ONE IS THERE WAS MOVEMENT OF [INAUDIBLE] TO SECONDARY ACADEMICS AND DYSLEXIA TO ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM.
[01:50:05]
SO THERE WERE OTHER CHANGES GOING ON THERE SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING JUST TO LOOK AT ONE LINE ITEM. SAME FOR SECONDARY. WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT SECONDARY? OK SECONDARY HAD 153,000 ENROLLED PURCHASE ORDERS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. SO THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOME THINGS THAT WERE ORDERED LATE IN THE YEAR THAT DIDN'T COME IN. THEY WERE CARRIED OVER IN THE BUDGET WAS INCREASED. SO LAST YEAR THEY WERE IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BUT THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE BUDGETED FOR THE COMING YEAR. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. ANOTHER THING JUST TO MENTION AND I THINK I'M SPEAKING FOR EVERYONE WE ALL WE KNOWING KNOWING THE PROSPECT OF REDUCED REVENUE. WE ALL REALLY DID A DILIGENT JOB OF GOING BACK TO THE DEPARTMENTS TWO AND THREE TIMES TO SAY OK. LET'S LOOK AGAIN. WHAT CAN WE CUT BACK ON WITHOUT CUTTING INTO OUR PROGRAMS OR PERSONNEL. AND SO WE MAKE CUTS IN AREAS FOR MATERIAL SUPPLIES FEWER SUBSTITUTES FOR PULLING TEACHERS OUT FOR TRAININGS AND CURRICULUM WRITING. WE ALL LOOKED AT TRAVEL AND CUT BACK ON OUR TRAVEL BUDGETS SO IT WAS JUST BITS AND PIECES FROM EVERY SINGLE AREA THAT WE COULD GO BACK AND MAKE REDUCTIONS IN. AND ANOTHER THING I'D MENTIONED. ESPECIALLY IN THE FINE ARTS AREA. IT'S BEEN THE PRACTICE IN THE PAST TO BUDGET FOR STUDENT TRAVEL UP THROUGH LOCAL LEVEL COMPETITIONS AND THEN AS THEY INCREASE IN AND WIN COMPETITIONS GO ON TO STATE NATIONAL. THEN WE WOULD COME BACK AND ASKED FOR AN AMENDED BUDGET SO ASKING FOR MORE MONEY FROM THE DISTRICT SO THAT WAS NOT REFLECTED IN THE BUDGET IN THE FIRST BUDGET OF THE YEAR. SO THIS AMENDED BUDGET WOULD INCLUDE THOSE ADDITIONAL TRAVEL PIECE COSTS THAT WERE ADDED TO THE BUDGET THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. THAT MAKE SENSE? SO KATRINA I APPRECIATE THAT AND YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN NOVEMBER WAS YOU KNOW WE REALLY DO NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WE ARE REDUCING THE BUDGET WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE WE CUTTING BECAUSE NEXT ARE SERVICES I MEAN YOU CAN ONLY GET SO LEAN BEFORE YOU HAVE TO START CUTTING SERVICES. AND SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE DILIGENCE AND THE ZERO BASED BUDGETING PROCESS THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE. BUT AS YOU GO THROUGH AS WE GO THROUGH THESE RANDY I MEAN IF THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT AREAS WHERE WE'VE CUT LET US KNOW WHAT THOSE ITEMS ARE JUST GENERALLY SO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THAT HAS TO BE PART OF OUR CALCULUS. IS THIS THIS DETAIL THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE OR BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY GET ALL THE LINE ITEMS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT WILL WE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SO WE CAN SEE THOSE DIFFERENCES. YES WE HAVE THAT IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT THIS YEAR. AND SO WE CAN GIVE YOU THIS AND SEE IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS WE CAN SEND THIS OUT. I'D APPRECIATE SEEING THAT. I DON'T KNOW MIGHT PUT EVERYBODY ELSE TO SLEEP. OK. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT ACADEMIC SERVICES BOTTOM LINE IT'S DOWN OVER 400,000 FROM 11 MILLION 535 DOWN TO 11,094,000 YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASE IN THE AVID PROGRAM AGAIN THAT WAS THE LOSS OF THE DONATION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT CURRICULUM DESIGN. SO THAT'S OUR CURRICULUM WRITING PROGRAM THAT WAS REDUCED IN MULTILINGUAL IS ONE AREA THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON WITH TALLE AND DR. HASLEY AS FAR AS WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS GOING TO BE ON THAT MONEY FOR NEXT YEAR. SO THAT'S ANOTHER STORY BUT THAT WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON. SO THAT NUMBER MAY CHANGE IT MAY CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY ASSESSMENT RESEARCH AND PROGRAM EVALUATION THERE WASN'T MUCH CHANGE THERE THAT WAS ABOUT A 3,000 DOLLAR INCREASE CAMPUS SERVICES REALLY THEY'VE MADE REDUCTIONS THEY WERE MORE ACROSS THE BOARD AND THEY HAD LESS OF THE RE CATEGORIZATION. I WOULD SAY THEN LIKE ACADEMIC SERVICES HAD SUMMER SCHOOL WAS REDUCED ALMOST 300,000 AND SO THE TOTAL WAS ABOUT 5.8 AMENDED BUDGET IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE PROPOSAL IS ABOUT JUST OVER 5.4 SO ABOUT A 400,000 DOLLAR REDUCTION IN THAT WITH ALMOST 300,000 THAT BEING IN SUMMER SCHOOL. SO WHEN WE REDUCED SUMMER SCHOOL ARE WE JUST OFFERING FEWER COURSES OR. WHAT'S THE REDUCTION THERE.AND I THINK. COULD YOU GIVE AN ANSWER. OH YOU GO AHEAD. [LAUGHTER] SOME OF THESE I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY ON SUMMER SCHOOL BUT WAS JUST TRIMMING IT UP MORE TO ACTUAL WHAT WE PROJECT ACTUAL COSTS TO BE. THAT'S REALLY A BETTER ANSWER THAN I WAS GOING TO
[01:55:01]
GIVE. WE ACTUALLY HAD WE HAD FEWER STUDENTS BASED ON LAST YEAR'S ENROLLMENT.SO WE WERE ABLE TO ADJUST OUR COSTS DOWNWARD IN PROJECTING THAT. SO YOU KIND OF HAVE SOME ACTUAL IDEAS AND THEN YOU'LL TRUE IT UP. I GOTCHA. OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT REDUCING OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL. THANK YOU OKAY. THE NEXT ONE IS MY DEPARTMENT HERE BUSINESS SERVICES. AND SO WE HAVE SOME REDUCTIONS THERE BUSINESS SERVICES BUDGET IS DOWN PURCHASING IS UP DUE TO A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE WANTING TO UTILIZE THAT WE THINK OVERALL WILL PAY FOR ITSELF AND MAKE CAMPUS PURCHASING MUCH EASIER WE'LL ACTUALLY SHOP ONLINE. FINANCIAL SERVICES IS ONE THAT'S UP. THE REASON HERE IS THAT HUNDRED ROUGHLY 100,000 DOLLAR INCREASE PREVIOUSLY BANK FEES WERE NETTED OUT OF INTEREST INCOME. AND SO WE HAVE CHANGED THAT AND WE'RE RECORDING BANK FEES SO WE'LL HAVE MORE INTEREST THAT WILL OFFSET THIS. SO REALLY IT'S A NEUTRAL BUT IT IS AN INCREASE ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE AGAIN IT'S AN INCREASE ON REVENUE FACILITIES PLANNING A NEW CONSTRUCTION STAYED THE SAME FACILITIES SERVICES EXCLUDING UTILITIES IS DOWN ALMOST 300,000 UTILITIES IS DOWN FACILITY WAREHOUSE IS DOWN OR BUDGETING LESS IN CIP AND LANDSCAPE IS UP THAT'S JUST THERE'S AN INFLATIONARY FACTOR BUILT INTO THAT UNDER THE CONTRACT WITH BROAD VIEW THAT'S TIED TO THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AND SO OVERALL BUSINESS SERVICES IS DOWN ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 300 THOUSAND. HEY RANDY. HOW LONG IS OUR UTILITIES CONTRACT FOR. SO WE JUST REBID THAT OUT THIS PAST YEAR AND I BELIEVE THAT'S A THREE YEAR AND WE HAD ABOUT A HALF MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR SAVINGS AND WHEN WE REBID THAT DISTRICT SERVICES CUSTODIAL SERVICES WORK LIKE LANDSCAPING AS FAR AS CONTRACT IN THAT AS WELL THAT IS OUTSOURCED SO THERE IS A CONSUMER PRICE INDEX INFLATIONARY CHARGE.
TRANSPORTATION WE TALKED ABOUT WE ADDED ADDITIONAL MONEY. THAT'S KIND OF LIKE A FUEL CONTINGENCY. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO FUEL PRICES. SAFETY AND SECURITY IS UP PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE 12 VEHICLES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE 480,000 ATHLETICS IS DOWN WE DID HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROLLOVER PURCHASE ORDERS THERE AS WELL AND SURVEILLANCE SOMEWHAT DISTORTED. SO OVERALL WE HAD TO LEASE A HALF A MILLION DOLLAR SAVINGS IN DISTRICT SERVICES. EMPLOYEE SERVICES. SO THIS IS DR. BROCKMAN'S AREA. WE HAD ACROSS THE BOARD I DON'T. THE ONLY INCREASE THAT WE HAVE IN THIS AREA IS IN BENEFITS AND RISK MANAGEMENT. THAT'S THE 200,000 THAT WE PUT IN THERE FOR PROPERTY INSURANCE LIKE AS A PLACE HOLDER FOR RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE GET RENEWAL NUMBERS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO DOWN HEALTH SERVICES. SO OVERALL THIS ONE IS UP ABOUT 50,000 BUT AGAIN 200 OF THAT IS PROPERTY INSURANCE. OTHERWISE IT'S DOWN TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. I KNOW DAN WORKED WITH HIS STAFF REALLY HARD. I CAN JUST JUMP RIGHT TO THE END OF THIS WHEN THEY CUT ALMOST 1.5 MILLION SO THEY THEY HAD A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE DECREASE IN TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. CAN I GO BACK ONE ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WHAT DID WHAT ARE WE ABLE TO MINIMIZE THERE. HOW DID WE GET THAT CUT THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT WE TOOK OUT? I DO NOT AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DR. BROCKMAN WORKING ON THAT. I THINK I CAN POSSIBLY GIVE AN IDEA OF A SOLUTION WE HAVE A BUSINESS PARTNER THAT ASHLEY HELMS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH AND IT'S THROUGH THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION. BUT THAT SPECIFICALLY TARGETS TEACHER DEVELOPMENT AND SO THAT GRANT WAS EXPANDED AND SO I THINK THAT PROBABLY OFFSET SOME OF THEIR COSTS. THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR OKAY. AGAIN TECHNOLOGY SERVICE IS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.
SUPERINTENDENT THE BOARD OF THIS ONE THE INCREASE I BELIEVE SO WE HAD TWO INCREASES THIS YEAR ONE WAS SUPERINTENDENT CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND WITH DR. WILLIAMS POSITION BEING NEW THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS ON THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER POSITION AND TRYING TO ESTABLISH A BUDGET THERE. BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS IS DOWN FROM THE CURRENT YEAR AMENDED AN INTERNAL AUDIT IS THAT'S BECAUSE WE WENT INTO A THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH TOWNSEND AND ASSOCIATES AND THAT'S AN AUDIT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FINE ARTS FACILITY AND THAT'S ABOUT A 49 THAT'S A 51,000 DOLLAR
[02:00:02]
CONTRACT IT'S GOING TO BE PARTIALLY PAID OVER THREE YEARS THE MAJORITY OF IT'S GOING TO BE IN '18 '19 BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS TAKING PLACE AND SO THAT'S WHY THE INCREASED INTERNAL AUDIT. BUT TYPICALLY THOSE POSITIONS OR THOSE CONTRACTS PAY FOR THEMSELVES. THAT'S WHAT CONTRACT SAVING. YES COMMUNICATIONS IS UP SLIGHTLY THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS THE GRADUATION COST OVER AT THE START OF [INAUDIBLE]. SOMETHING OUT OF OUR CONTROL WE DON'T HAVE MANY OPTIONS ON GRADUATION. CAMPUS AND OTHER ALLOCATIONS SO THE CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS WENT UP ABOUT 150 THOUSAND AND SO THAT WAS THE WAY THAT WE CHANGED THE CAMPUS ALLOCATION. SO THERE WAS NO CAMPUS THAT WAS WORSE OFF UNDER THE NEW ALLOCATION METHOD IN TOTAL DOLLARS THAN UNDER THE PREVIOUS COPIERS AND THE COPY CENTER IS DOWN. I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO REDUCE THAT EVEN MORE WE JUST WENT OUT FOR BID ON COPIERS ON CAMPUSES AND WE SAVED ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. BUT WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS SO WE HATE TO TAKE THAT OUT YET BUT I THINK WE'LL BE MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS AND TAX APPRAISAL AND COLLECTION IS PROJECTED TO GO UP ALMOST 300,000 THAT'S 1 NOT REALLY UNDER OUR CONTROL BUT AS OUR PROPERTY VALUES GO UP AS THE AMOUNT OF TAXES WE COLLECT GOES UP OUR SHARE OF THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND TAX COLLECTION GOES UP. NOW WE DO GET A CREDIT FOR THAT ON RECAPTURE UNDER THE CURRENT SYSTEM AND SO SO THAT WILL BE OFFSET SOME WITH THE REDUCED RECAPTURE. SO OUR TAX APPRAISAL COLLECTION COST IS NET OF RECAPTURE THEY BID THAT FIRST AND THEN THEY CALCULATE THE COST. NO THEY BILL US THE FULL AMOUNT BUT WE GET A CREDIT ON OUR RECAPTURE SO IF WE'RE PAYING 39 PERCENT RECAPTURE THEN WE GET 39 PERCENT OF OUR OUR TAX APPRAISAL AND COLLECTION COST CREDITED BACK. IS THIS A FUNCTION OF STATE LAW OR IS THIS A FUNCTION OF COLLIN COUNTY. THE COST. YEAH. THE COSTS WOULD BE BASED ON THE FROM THE BUDGET THAT'S ADOPTED BY THE OTHER CAD OTHER BOARD OF DIRECTORS. I THINK THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PERHAPS APPROACH FOR A REDUCED COST. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT WE'RE DOING WE'RE GOING TO PAY 300,000 DOLLARS MORE TO THEM SIMPLY BECAUSE OUR PROPERTY VALUES WENT UP. THINK THAT'S SOMETHING FOR US COLLECTIVELY TO NOTE FOR GOING FORWARD. OKAY. AS WE GET INTO A REVENUE SUMMARY AGAIN WE WON'T GO THROUGH ALL THESE BUT THE TAX REVENUE IS PROJECTED TO GO UP THAT 37.6 MILLION THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER.THAT'S THE 6 PERCENT PROPERTY VALUE INCREASE THE INVESTMENT EARNINGS GOING UP 100,000. AGAIN BECAUSE WE'RE NO LONGER NETTING BANK FEES OUT TUITION ON PRE-K WE WE'VE TAKEN THAT OUT FOR NOW UNTIL WE SEE WE DID NOT MEET BUDGET ON THAT THE CURRENT YEAR OTHER TUITION SO SOME OF THESE WE JUST TRUED UP THAT THERE'D BEEN A SIMILAR NUMBER FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET EACH ONE MORE ACCURATE BASED ON HISTORICAL BUT TOTAL LOCAL REVENUES ARE UP 37.1 MILLION. ON STATE REVENUE THAT IS DOWN ON PER CAPITA IT'S ALSO FOUNDATIONS PROJECTED TO BE DOWN SOME SO ABOUT 11.7 MILLION LESS THAN STATE REVENUES FEDERAL REVENUES A SLIGHT INCREASE TRUING UP THE BUILD AMERICA BONDS REBATE 29,000 SO OVERALL OUR TOTAL REVENUES ARE UP 25.4 MILLION OF COURSE THAT'S BEFORE RECAPTURE COMES OUT. SO WHEN WE BACK OUT RECAPTURE OUR NET REVENUES ARE DOWN ALMOST 28 MILLION. 6 MILLION OF THAT IS US BACKING OUT THE INSURANCE PROCEEDS THAT CAME IN LATER. THAT WAS THAT'S IN THE AMENDED BUDGET. AND SO REALLY THAT'S ABOUT A 21.8 MILLION DOLLAR REDUCTION WHEN YOU TAKE THAT OUT OF THE EQUATION. NOW I'M CONFUSED ABOUT ONE AND THIS ONE? THAT ONE, THE AMENDED RECAPTURE I MEAN THE RECAPTURE DIDN'T THAT GET AMENDED. I THOUGHT WE ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY 211 MILLION. SO THAT'S CORRECT. SO OUR OUR PAYMENT SCHEDULE IS BASED ON 211 WE'RE COMPARING TO AMENDED BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T AMENDED THAT NUMBER. WE'RE WAITING TO GET A BETTER IDEA ON WHERE TAX COLLECTIONS COME IN BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO ADD 4 MILLION TO EXPENSE BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADD THE 4 MILLION TO TAX COLLECTIONS AS WELL. OKAY. SO SO YOU'LL BE SEEING THAT IN THE COMING AMENDMENT. BUT FOR HERE WE'RE
[02:05:01]
JUST COMPARING IT TO THE CURRENT AMENDED BUDGET. THAT'S THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT SO THAT HAS RECAPURED GOING UP THE 47.3 MILLION FROM BUDGET FROM THE AMENDED BUDGET. BASE PAYROLL BUDGET WE'RE PROJECTING THAT TO GO UP I'M SORRY WE'RE GOING DOWN 4.4 MILLION. AND SO AGAIN THAT'S TRYING TO TRUE UP TRYING TO TIGHTEN UP SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT HAVE BEEN BUDGETED IN THE PAST. ALSO VACANCIES THROUGH THE YEAR. SO REALLY TRYING TO. JUST TRYING TO GET A BETTER FEEL THERE. WE DO NOT HAVE THE ONE TIME PAYMENT SO THAT'S THE 500 DOLLAR ONE TIME PAYMENT AT THE DISTRICT THEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO EMPLOYEES THE COST OF THAT IN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET IS JUST UNDER 2.8 MILLION. WE DON'T HAVE. THAT'S NOT SAYING THAT WE WANT TO ADOPT THAT A COMPENSATION PLAN IS SAYING WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS GOING TO DO. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE HAVEN'T INCLUDED THAT IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET. AND IN THE BASE PAYROLL BUDGET THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE A COMPENSATION INCREASE EITHER. NO. SO WE SEE THAT ON THIS NEXT SLIDE THAT'S 6 BASICALLY 6.4 MILLION WOULD BE THE 2 PERCENT SALARY INCREASE. SO WE DO HAVE THAT AND THERE IS A PLACE HOLDER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE DISTRICT IS TYPICALLY DONE AT A MINIMUM AMOUNT OR OR A GUIDE WE HAVE INCLUDED THAT. CAN YOU GO BACK AND EXPLAIN THE 4.4 MILLION DECREASE ON THE BASE PAYROLL BUDGET THAT THAT'S TAKING CURRENT STAFF WORKING IN RETIREMENTS PEOPLE LEAVING ET CETERA AND NOT REPLACING THEM. I MEAN HOW ARE WE GETTING 4.4 MILLION DOLLAR DECREASE THAT SEEMS LIKE I'M OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO. SO SOME OF THAT IS AN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS TRYING TO BETTER BUDGET. WHO'S GONNA TAKE HEALTH INSURANCE WHO'S NOT SOME OF THOSE TOP TWO FACTORS. IT'S ALSO GOING AND LOOKING AND THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT IT'S LOOKING AT WHAT VACANCIES DO WE NORMALLY HAVE THROUGH THE YEAR THAT YOU BUDGET A PERSON AT A FULL 100 PERCENT SALARY AND WHEN YOU DO THAT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES WELL THEN YOU HAVE THIS PERSON THAT LEAVES AND IS THREE WEEKS BEFORE WE GET THE NEW PERSON IN. SO TRYING TO LOOK AT HOW MANY OF THOSE YOU HAVE YOU ALSO HAVE SOME STAFF THAT GO OUT ON EXTENDED LEAVE AND THEY END UP RUNNING OUT OF LEAVE AND THEY GET IN DOCK MODE. AND SO YOU START REDUCING YOU'RE NOT PAYING THEIR SALARY BUT YOU'RE PAYING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AND YOU HAVE THAT BUDGETED OVER IN SUBSTITUTES. AND SO YOU JUST START LOOKING FOR THESE THINGS IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU IF YOU BUDGET EVERYTHING AT 100 PERCENT EVERY YEAR EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAPPEN AT A HUNDRED PERCENT AND THEN SALARIES YOUR BIGGEST COMPONENT IN YOUR BUDGET AND THEN YOU'RE TURNING BACK MONEY. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO TRYING TO PUT SOME FACTORS IN THERE TO CUT SOME OF THAT BACK SO SO WE GET IT SO WE CAN TIGHTEN THE BUDGET DOWN TO MORE HISTORICAL. YOU SEE THIS THEN AS MORE OF A TRUE. MORE OF A TRUE OKAY. SO WHEN WE WHEN WE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ALL THAT CURRENTLY BASED ON CURRENT LAW OUR PROJECTED BUDGET SURPLUS DEFICIT IS 33.3 MILLION. AND SO THAT'S I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAJOR COMPONENTS IN THAT EARLIER. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE ON WHERE WE'RE AT. CAN YOU JUST GIVE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS ON THE NEW STAFFING REQUESTS. YES SO ABOUT 1.5 MILLION OF THAT 2.7 IS THE INSPIRE PROGRAM. SOME OF THE OTHER WAS QUITE A BIT OF THE OTHER WAS THE CAMPUS ALLOCATIONS AS FAR AS WHAT WE NEEDED TO MEET OUR NEW STAFFING RATIO AND SO ANY STAFF THAT WAS ADDED THERE. THEN WE HAD A LONG LIST OF NEW STAFFING REQUESTS AND WE REALLY CUT THAT DOWN TO VERY FEW.THE OTHER AREAS. QUITE A FEW OF THOSE ADDS WERE IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICIAN ADDITIONAL SPEECH PATHOLOGIST WHATEVER THOSE SERVICE AREAS ARE TO SERVE THE SPECIAL NEEDS. THAT'S REALLY THE OTHER LARGEST COMPONENT. SO THE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE HAD THE HALFTIME SOCIAL WORKERS THIS YEAR I GUESS THERE WERE EIGHT SCHOOLS SO THEY GET FULL TIME SOCIAL WORKERS NEXT YEAR. THE TRANSFORMATION CAMPUSES THE ADDITIONAL SOCIAL WORKERS FOR THOSE CAMPUSES ARE IN THE BUDGET. SO THE ADDITIONAL STAFF FOR THOSE SCHOOLS HAVE GONE TO FULL TIME. IF THEY WERE NOT FULL TIME BEFORE AND THEN THE OTHERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE INCREASED. AND THERE ARE TWO TRANSFORMATION ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES. THERE ARE 4. 4 OK. SO LET ME HIT THIS REAL QUICK AND THEN WE'LL TALK LEGISLATION FOR JUST A MINUTE. I DON'T HAVE IT AS A SLIDE BUT SO WE ARE IN APRIL WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET REPORT AND DEPARTMENT BUDGETS NEXT MONTH WE WILL BRING YOU A PRELIMINARY BUDGET AS BEST WE KNOW IT AT THAT POINT IN TIME THAT WILL BE MORE THE BUDGET AS YOU'RE USED TO SEEING ABOUT FUNCTIONAL LEVEL COMPARED TO THE TO THE CURRENT BUDGET. TYPICALLY WE WOULD ALSO
[02:10:05]
BRING A COMPENSATION PLAN IN MAY. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD IDEA. YOU KNOW SCHOOLS ARE ALWAYS CONCERNED IN LEGISLATIVE YEARS OF IF WE ADOPT A PLAN AND THEN THE LEGISLATURE PASSES AND SAYS OK WE'RE GONNA GIVE AN X AMOUNT SALARY INCREASE LET'S JUST TAKE TEACHERS FOR EXAMPLE THEN THEY TYPICALLY DO THAT IN ADDITION TO WHATEVER THE DISTRICT HAS ALREADY DONE AND SO DISTRICTS CAN YOU KNOW THAT'S GREAT FOR TEACHERS IT CAN REALLY CREATE FINANCIAL ISSUES ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A BUDGET LIKE OURS AND SO ALL THE PEERS THAT WE'RE TALKING TO EVERYBODY'S ON HOLD AS FAR AS COMPENSATION PLANS IN WAITING FOR LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO WRAP UP BEFORE THEY DO THAT. I SEE THAT GETTING PUSHED AND THEN IN JUNE WE WILL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTUALLY ADOPT THE BUDGET I BELIEVE WOULD SET THAT MEETING FOR JUNE 25TH. AND SO THAT'LL BE A LATE JUNE MEETING AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND ADOPT A TAX RATE. SO IF THEY GO INTO A SUMMER SESSION HOW ARE WE GOING TO PASS A BUDGET? SO WE'RE STILL GOING TO I MEAN AT SOME POINT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ESTIMATE REVENUES AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADOPT AND WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK LATER AND MAKE SOME SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS. BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT SALARIES IF WE IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO MANDATE ON IF THEY'RE GOING TO MANDATE SALARY INCREASES HOW CAN WE PUT ANYTHING IN FOR OUR COMPENSATION PLAN. SO I THINK WE WOULD STILL PUT IN A PLACE HOLDER IF THEY IF WE DON'T KNOW THAT WE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THE REVENUES EITHER. AND SO WE'D PROBABLY JUST BE BUDGETING ON CURRENT WE'D PROBABLY GO AHEAD AND PUT A PLACE HOLDER IN MAYBE SOMEWHAT WHAT YOU SEE HERE TODAY BASED ON CURRENT LAW AND THEN WE JUST HAVE TO COME BACK AND WE'D JUST HAVE TO HOLD ON A COMPENSATION PLAN LIKELY UNTIL WHATEVER SPECIAL SESSION IS OVER. HOPEFULLY THEY'LL FINISH IN MAY. BUT IF THEY IF WE END UP LIKE YOU SAID PUTTING PLACE HOLDERS IN WHEN WOULD WE GET A MORE REVISED ACTUAL BUDGET THEN AFTER THEIR SESSION IS OVER. THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO WE WOULD GO THROUGH KIND OF THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE USUALLY DO IN JUNE BUT YOU'LL END UP DOING THAT. SO WE WOULD STILL GO AHEAD AND ADOPT THE PROJECTED OUR BEST ESTIMATE BASED ON CURRENT LAW IN JUNE AND THEN SINCE WE DON'T HAVE JULY MEETINGS UNLESS WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING HOPEFULLY BY AUGUST WE WOULD KNOW IN ALL THAT WOULD BE INTERPRETED YOU KNOW IT'S A SESSION WITH SUCH A MAJOR SCHOOL FINANCE OVERHAUL IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME WHEN THE SESSION'S OVER FOR EVERYBODY TO FIGURE OUT HERE'S WHAT WE REALLY MEANT THAT BILL TO MEAN AND THERE'S GOING TO BE RUNS THERE'S GONNA BE PEOPLE MODIFYING TEMPLATES THEN IT'S GOING TO BE NO THAT'S NOT WHAT WE MEANT. THAT'S NOT THE OUTCOME. I SEE THAT TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE WE CAN EVEN TAKE A FINAL FISCAL FINANCE PLAN AND KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO US AND FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT. BUT GOOD THING IS EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT THAT WE ARE. ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE. I MEAN I GET THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I'M WITH NANCY I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN ADOPT A BUDGET WHEN YOU'VE GOT A SENATE PLAN THAT'S MANDATING A 5,000 DOLLAR RAISE. I DON'T YOU I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET AROUND PLACEHOLDERS WITH THAT UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHICH MAY BE JUNE 30 BEFORE WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. JULY YEAH HOPEFULLY NOT JULY WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR VERY CONSERVATIVE PLANNING NATURE AND THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE SAVED OVER TIME FOR THIS PURPOSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FUND THIS THIS YEAR FROM OUR FUND BALANCE BUT WHETHER WHATEVER PLAN GETS ADOPTED IF IT'S HB 3 A MODIFIED HB 3 SB 4 WHATEVER THE REVENUE STREAM FOR THE FUTURE BEYOND YEAR ONE IS UNCLEAR. SO I THINK THAT GOING INTO THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE WILL START PROBABLY SOONER THAN NORMAL AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE PROGRAMMING AND THAT WE'VE BEEN AVOIDING TALKING ABOUT IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE SPENDING LEVEL ON A GOING FORWARD BASIS. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME. YEAH AND THAT'S WHAT I SEE AS WELL. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT HOUSE BILL 3 AS IT CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE JUST TO HIT A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS HERE. I MEAN THE RUNS THAT WE'VE SEEN DEPENDING ON WHO'S CALCULATING AND WHAT WHAT INTERPRETATIONS THEY'RE MAKING ARE SOMEWHERE TO A PLUS LOW 20 MILLION EVEN AS HIGH AS 40 MILLION SO IF SO I THINK WHAT YOU CAN THE WAY AT LEAST I'M THINKING OF IT IS IF HOUSE BILL 3 PASSES AS IT CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THIS THERE'S PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THIS COULD BE A BALANCED BUDGET GIVE OR TAKE SOMEWHERE IN THE BALLPARK.THE CHALLENGES COME IN WHEN YOU START MODIFYING THE WAY IT CAME OUT IT CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE. SO FOR EXAMPLE IF THERE'S A TEACHER MANDATED PAY RAISE IN THERE THAT'S
[02:15:02]
GREATER THAN WHAT WE WOULD CALL IT 2 PERCENT. NOW WE MAY STILL GET THE SAME REVENUE BUT NOW MY EXPENDITURES ARE UNDERSTATED SO. SO THAT CLOSES THE GAP EVEN MORE SO THAT COULD TEETER THIS THING WORSE DEPENDING SO IF THAT DID BECOME A 5000 TEACHER INCREASE THAT'S A 19 MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG WHEN WE PROBABLY HAVE 4 MILLION IN HERE FOR TEACHER SALARY INCREASES. SO THAT WOULD. SO THAT COULD KEEP US AT A 15 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT OR SO EVEN THOUGH WE CAME OUT PRETTY GOOD IN THE FORMULAS THE WAY WE THOUGHT WE WERE. BUT IT CAME ATTACHED WITH MANDATES OF HOW WE HAVE TO SPEND IT. THE OTHER BIG THING THAT WE'RE WATCHING IS IT CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE OF THE SCHOOL FINANCE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED GOING TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES ELIMINATION OF THE COST OF EDUCATION INDEX. THE HOUSE VERSION DOES ELIMINATE THE COST OF EDUCATION INDEX BUT IT STILL GOES ON PRIOR YEAR VALUES THAT WE'RE HEARING TALK THAT THERE THAT THE SENATE OR AT LEAST SOME IN THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN DOES CURRENT YEAR VALUES THE PRICE TAG OF THAT COULD NEGATE THE WHOLE THING. SO EVEN IF THEY DID MANDATE A TEACHER PAY RAISE WE COULD ACTUALLY GET LET'S SAY 35 MILLION MORE DOLLARS AND WE COULD LOSE ALL THAT JUST BY GOING TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES. AND THEN IF THEY MANDATE A TEACHER PAY RAISE WE COULD BE WORSE OFF. SO THERE'S BIG VARIABLES RIGHT NOW THAT'S MAKING THIS REALLY HARD TO TRY TO PROJECT WHAT REVENUES WILL BE FOR NEXT YEAR. THOSE ARE THE REALLY TWO BIG COMPONENTS THAT I CAN'T EVEN GUESS AT IS HOW MUCH IS GOING TO BE MANDATED ON ITS REQUIREMENTS ON HOW WE SPEND THE MONEY AND TWO IS IF IT GOES TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES IT TOTALLY CHANGES THE PICTURE FOR PLANO ISD AND MANY OTHER SCHOOLS. WELL I THINK ONE THING THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE AND THEY SHOULD REALIZE IS WHEN YOU GIVE A RAISE THAT STAYS IN YOUR EXPENDITURES GOING FORWARD EVERY YEAR. SO IF THEY DO A 5 THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE WHICH YOU SAID IS A 19 MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE THAT 19 MILLION IS ALSO NEXT YEAR. AND IF WE GAVE A RAISE ON TOP OF THAT IT'D BE MORE THAN 19. SO EVERY YEAR I DON'T THINK THEY ARE THINKING IT THROUGH ALL THE WAY. THEY DON'T HAVE A REVENUE SOURCE THAT'S SUSTAINABLE FOR THAT. AND THEN THE CURRENT YOU KNOW YOUR VALUE NOT ONLY IS THAT GOING TO TAKE AWAY ANY GAINS THAT WE GET THAT MIGHT BRING US TO ZERO DO NO HARM. BUT THE OPERATIONAL IMPACT OF CURRENT YEAR VALUES MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE A BUDGET FOR THE COMING YEAR. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE EXPECTING TO DO WITH THAT CURRENT YEAR VALUE. THAT'S CRAZY.NANCY I'M ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST THAT OUR LEGISLATURE IS DOING SOMETHING WITHOUT THINKING IT THROUGH. I DIDN'T SAY THEY WEREN'T THINKING IT THROUGH. WE'VE DRAFTED A LETTER TO THE SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
THEY'LL GET IT TOMORROW MORNING. EACH ONE OF THE MEMBERS STATING THE IMPACT AND OUR CONCERN WITH THE IDEA OF CURRENT REVALUE. WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN TO PLANO ISD. THE DEVIL IS GOING TO BE IN THE DETAILS IN THIS THING OBVIOUSLY BUT AT ABSOLUTE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR US IS TO GO THROUGH A ONCE A ONCE IN A GENERATION REFORMATION OF SCHOOL FINANCE AND FOR US TO BE ON THE BACK END OF THAT IN YEAR ONE HAVING TO DIP INTO FUND BALANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A NEGATIVE BUDGET BECAUSE IT ONLY GETS WORSE FROM THERE. EXACTLY. YEAH YEAH BECAUSE THE SECOND YEAR AFTER THE BUDGET HAPPENS THEY'RE GOING TO COMPRESS THE TAX RATE AGAIN. THEY'VE GOT THE FLEXIBILITY TO COMPRESS MORE. CERTAINLY THE HEARINGS ARE THIS WEEK. SO ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO TESTIFY THURSDAY IS YOUR DAY. AND WE [INAUDIBLE] WE DID WRITTEN TESTIMONY [INAUDIBLE] DID INSTEAD.
OK. SO THIS IS A GOOD SEGUE WAY TO OUR NEXT TOPIC WHICH I THINK IS OUR LAST ONE. FINAL REPORT THIS EVENING. ALSO ENSURES GOVERNANCE IN ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT OF DISTRICT GOALS. AT EACH BOARD MEETING AND WORK SESSION DURING THE TEXAS LEGISLATIVE SESSION THE BOARD PRESIDENT SHALL INCLUDE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO ALLOW INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS TO REPORT ADVOCACY EFFORTS REGARDING THE 86 TEXAS LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. WHO WE WOULD LIKE TO START US OFF. I WILL. SO A COMMENT MADE NANCY THAT YOU MADE A MINUTE AGO ABOUT REVENUE STREAM AND SUSTAINABILITY. SO THERE IS A BILL THAT IS AUTHORED BY HUBERTY THAT DOES PROVIDE A REVENUE STREAM AND IT IS H.R. 3 AND IT IS THE TAX SWAP WHERE ONE PERCENT INCREASE IN SALES TAX AND TO OFFSET SO MANY PENNIES. HOW MANY LIKE EIGHT PENNIES OR SOMETHING FOR US IN PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND THE TAX RATE. SO IT GENERATES 5 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR SO THAT'S 10 BILLION PER BIENNIUM AND IT'S SUPPORTED BY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR THE GOVERNOR AND THE SPEAKER. SO I WAS ASKED TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF THE TEXAS
[02:20:02]
SCHOOL COALITION OF WHICH WE'RE A MEMBER. SO I DID THAT AND TESTIFIED IN SUPPORT OF THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS TRACTION OR NOT. YOU KNOW I WAS KIND OF FELT LIKE I MIGHT BE WALKING INTO A LION'S DEN SORT OF SITUATION BUT IT IT WASN'T THAT AT ALL. SO YOU KNOW THIS WOULD REQUIRE THE YOU KNOW CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS IT HAS TO BE LIKE PASS THE SENATE AND HOUSE AND THEN ASK THE VOTERS IN NOVEMBER. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF HURDLES BUT IT DOES FOR THE FIRST TIME CONSIDER A REVENUE STREAM TO FUND THESE FUND HB 3. ESSENTIALLY IS WHAT IT DOES BECAUSE WITHOUT IT IT'S JUST EXISTING REVENUE STREAMS THAT ARE PRODUCING FAVORABLY FOR THIS MOMENT IN TIME WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. BUT THE TIMELINE ON THAT IS THEY PASS THE JOINT RESOLUTION IT GETS PLACED ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT IT'S VOTED UPON IT WOULD BE READY TO BE PUT INTO PLACE AS OF JANUARY 1. I THINK THAT'S IT. YEAH I THINK THAT BE RIGHT. SO MANY I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DAYS WE HAVE LEFT. LIKE WORKING 35 40 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT'S A LOT TO GET DONE IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. BUT THE HEARING. I DON'T THINK IT'S SCHEDULED YET SARA. BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THURSDAY. AND WHAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS A STRATEGY IS TO APPROACH. SO THEY'RE GONNA HEAR HB 3 THE VERSION THAT CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF SB 4. SO THERE WILL BE A SUBSTITUTE OFFERED. WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN IT. WE CAN IMAGINE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WILL BE IN IT BUT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO BE AS FAVORABLE AS WE CAN BECAUSE THE GOAL IS TO GET IT TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. WE NEED TO GET THIS BILL TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY CAN HASH THINGS OUT. IF WE APPEAR VERY OPPOSITIONAL IF IF EVERYBODY IS OPPOSITIONAL TO THAT IT'LL JUST FALL APART. SO WE'RE OFFERING CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. LIKE SARAH SAYING WE'RE OFFERING A LETTER ON THE BACK END BUT WE'RE TRYING TO BE AS SUPPORTIVE AS WE CAN TO MOVE IT ALONG IN THE PROCESS AND INFLUENCE IT WITHOUT CAUSING THE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF CARDS TO CRUMBLE. SO THAT'S WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES IF IT'S ACTUALLY SCHEDULED ON THURSDAY ANYBODY ELSE HAVE STUFF. OK. ALL RIGHT. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS PROVIDED[5. UPCOMING WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS]
INFORMATION REGARDING UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE BOARD TO REVIEW. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY UPCOMING WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS THEY WISH TO SUGGEST. I'D JUST LIKE TO ASK ABOUT A STATUS THAT'S ON THE HONORS CLASSES FOR SIXTH GRADE. THAT WAS JANUARY 31 I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CONTINUALLY STUDYING. SO WHEN MIGHT WE SEE THE FRUITS OF THAT THOUGHT? IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. WORKING WITH DR. WILLIAMS ON THAT. SO PERHAPS LATER IN THE WEEK I CAN PROVIDE YOU A BETTER TIMELINE. OKAY BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN WE DECIDE OR IF WE DECIDE TO DO ANYTHING AT THE SIXTH GRADE LEVEL THEN THERE'LL BE CURRICULUM WORK THERE'LL BE DEVELOPMENTS. AND SO YOU COULD LOOK AT PROBABLY A TWO YEAR TIMELINE AND THAT'S IF WE DECIDE SOON. SO I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT WE DO MOVE THAT ALONG. THE SECOND QUESTION I HAVE IS THIS WAS DIRECTED TO RANDY. I KNOW IT SHOWS ON MAY 5TH MEETING YOU'RE GOING TO DO AN UPDATE ON THE LARGE ENROLLMENT DEVIATION FROM MITCHELL WHERE IT'S LIKE 200 KIDS FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. ARE YOU ALSO GOING TO DO THE ITEM BELOW THAT LOOKING AT BASICALLY THE TRANSFERS IN THE MITCHELL ZONE AREA ON IT SAYS MAY THE 8TH.IN THE ACTION TRACKER AT THE BOTTOM. I MEAN THE REASON THIS IS GERMANE IS YOU KNOW A 600 KID DROP IN ENROLLMENT COSTS US 4 MILLION DOLLARS. IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY KIDS ARE LEAVING THEN THAT MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THE REVENUE AT LEAST STATIC IF NOT INCREASING. I THINK THE MITCHELLS IS SOMETHING WE COULD WE COULD BRING AS FAR AS A COMPREHENSIVE TRANSFER. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEMOGRAPHER ON SO THAT ONE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE PUSHED. BUT I THINK IT'S I MEAN MY QUESTION IS PRETTY BASIC IN TERMS OF OUR KIDS TRANSFERRING FROM THE MITCHELL ZONE TO OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT'S THE FIRST PART AND THEN DO KIDS LIVE IN THAT ZONE THAT HAVE ELECTED NOT TO ATTEND MITCHELL BUT ANOTHER SCHOOL WHICH I GUESS IS THE SAME THING AS A TRANSFER SO I DON'T REALLY THINK IT'S A COMPLICATED ASSESSMENT
[02:25:01]
IT'S JUST LOOKING AT THAT ONE SCHOOL AND THE TRANSFERS ARE WE LOSING KIDS TO OTHER SCHOOLS OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THAT GIVES US SOME AN INDICATION THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING AMISS THERE THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND. OKAY. HEARING NO OTHER ITEMS IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD THE MEETING WILL BE ADJOURNED. THE TIME IS 9:25 P.M..
