PLEASE BE SEATED.  I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF DELIVERING TONIGHT'S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE AND MY TOPIC THIS EVENING IS ABOUT TRANSITIONS ALL OF US FIND OURSELVES ON THE BRINK OF TRANSITION OVER TIME. WE REALLY LIVE OUR LIFE IN BETWEEN THE MULTITUDE OF TRANSITION PERIODS THAT REGULARLY OCCUR. WE TRANSITION FROM ONE GRADE LEVEL TO THE NEXT. THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR TO THE SUMMER FROM GRADUATION TO COLLEGE, MILITARY OR WORK LIFE, RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRIENDS, SPOUSES OR CHILDREN. JOBS, HOUSES, PARENTHOOD, HEALTH AND RETIREMENT. THESE TRANSITIONS CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE. THEY CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE PLACES BECAUSE THE PATH AHEAD IS UNCLEAR AND THIS SOMETIMES CAN CAUSE FEAR. I HOPE THAT WE CAN SEE THESE MOMENTS OF TRANSITION INSTEAD AS  OPPORTUNITIES AS MOMENTS OF GREAT OPPORTUNITY. THE FAMOUS PHILOSOPHER ANONYMOUS SAID WHEN SHIFTS AND TRANSITIONS IN LIFE SHAKE YOU TO THE CORE SEE THAT AS A SIGN OF GREATNESS THAT'S ABOUT TO OCCUR. TONIGHT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL EXPERIENCE A TRANSITION OF LEADERSHIP AS 4 NEWLY ELECTED TRUSTEES TAKE THEIR PLACE AT THE BOARD TABLE AND TWO RETIRE. OUR TEACHERS WILL TRANSITION TO SUMMER AND A NEW CLASS OF STUDENTS AND OUR STUDENTS WILL ADVANCE TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL OR EVEN A NEW SCHOOL. LIFE IS FULL OF CHANGE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES IF WE MAKE OURSELVES  AVAILABLE AND OPEN TO THEM. MAY WE ALL BE OPEN TO WHAT'S NEXT AND BE ENRICHED BY THE GROWTH IN THE TRANSITION.

MS. ILES, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COME IN AND SHARE THIS AWARD WITH US AND WITH THE TEAM. I KNOW IT MEANS A LOT TO EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM BECAUSE WE COULD NOT DO WHAT WE DO OUT ON THE CAMPUSES OUR TEACHERS ALL OF OUR STAFF IT'S EVERY PERSON IN THE DISTRICT THEY TOUCH WITH THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND EXPERTISE AND WE KNOW THAT THE REAL DIFFERENCE HAPPENS IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO SUCH MODELS OF EXCELLENCE IN OUR DISTRICT. WE WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU AND THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WILL SAY THEY ARE LEADING THE WAY IN NORTH TEXAS BECAUSE THEY ALSO SUPPORT THE NORTH TEXAS DISTRICT ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO ADD? I KNOW THIS IS A YOUNG DEPARTMENT BUT THEY'VE ACHIEVED A GREAT AMOUNT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE VERY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE BOARD WELCOMES COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS WHO HAVE

[10. PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION]

GOOD EVENING. I'M ANGELINA CHEN FROM CARPENTER MIDDLE SCHOOL. WE'RE HERE TO REPRESENT THE CARPENTER ORCHESTRA PROGRAM. WE HAVE COME IN HOPES OF MAKING YOU ALL AWARE OF AN ISSUE AT CARPENTER. RECENTLY THE SCHOOL HAS DECIDED TO CUT THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR POSITION. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE SAW THE PRINCIPAL WALK INTO THE ORCHESTRA ROOM AND TAP THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR ON THE SHOULDER AND ASK FOR HER RESIGNATION LETTER. WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU ALL WHAT THE IMPACT OF CUTTING THE POSITION WILL HAVE ON THE STUDENTS. EVERY YEAR NEW STUDENTS COMES A CARPENTER. LAST YEAR 48 NEW STUDENTS JOINED THE ORCHESTRA. THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR AND THE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR WORKED HARD TOGETHER TO TEACH THE NEW STUDENTS HOW TO PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS AND HOW TO READ THEIR MUSIC BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY SPENT TOGETHER WORKING WITH THE STUDENTS. THE STUDENTS HAVE IMPROVED A LOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THEY WENT TO THE COURTYARD FESTIVAL AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH AND RECEIVED A SUPERIOR RATING. NEXT YEAR. AT LEAST 60 NEW STUDENTS WILL JOIN THE ORCHESTRA. WITHOUT AN ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR HOW WILL MS. JONES FIND THE TIME TO HELP ALL THE NEW STUDENTS. ANOTHER IMPACT IT HAS ON THE STUDENTS IS REHEARSAL TIME. THIS YEAR THE WEEK BEFORE UIL THE CONDUCTOR CAUGHT THE FLU. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR THE STUDENTS WOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANY TIME TO REHEARSE BEFORE UIL.

BECAUSE THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR HAD BEEN AT THE SCHOOL THE ORCHESTRA STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO PRACTICE AND REHEARSE THE UIL MUSIC AND RECEIVE EXCELLENT SCORES. GOOD EVENING. I'M [INAUDIBLE]. CARPENTER WILL BE THE ONLY SCHOOL IN PLANO NEXT YEA TO ONLY HAVE ONE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR. AS MENTIONED BEFORE ALL THE  STUDENTS DESERVE TO HAVE THE SAME EDUCATION. HAVING ONLY ONE ORCHESTRA

[00:35:01]

PARENTS WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE THE  SAME EDUCATION AS ALL THE OTHER ORCHESTRA STUDENTS IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. ONE MINUTE. BEFORE CUTTING THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR POSITION HAS THE SCHOOL THOUGHT ABOUT THE IMPACT IT MAY HAVE ON THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS. WHY CUT THE POSITION WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THE PARENTS AND  STUDENTS MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH IT. HAS THE SCHOOL CONSIDERED WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO THE STUDENTS EDUCATION? WE HOPE YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THE SCHOOL'S DECISION. WE CARE ABOUT EDUCATION. WE WANT TO IMPROVE NEXT YEAR AS A TEAM. WE HOPE TO GET BETTER SCORES IN UIL AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS WE WANT TO COMPLETE.

WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER. WE WANT TO SOAR TO NEW HEIGHTS. BUT WITHOUT AN ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO SO. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT CUTTING THE ASSISTANT ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR POSITION IS NOT SOMETHING WE WANT. WE HOPE YOU CAN ALL CHANGE THE SCHOOL'S DECISION. THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING TO US. I KNOW IT TOOK COURAGE AND TOOK TIME FROM YOUR STUDIES AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PRESENTING YOUR OPINION. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE BOARD WILL NOW HEAR REPORTS FOR INFORMATION AND

[11. REPORTS]

[00:40:02]

WE HAVE A COMMITTEE OF 37. BUT THE LAST MEETING WE HAD 16 PARENTS SHOW UP AND UNDERSTAND HOW BUSY EVERYONE IS. BUT THEY THOUGHT MAYBE WHAT THE COMMITTEE COULD DO IS GET BROADER INPUT MAYBE DO A SURVEY A DISTRICT WIDE SURVEY ON HOW PARENTS MIGHT REACT TO SOMETHING LIKE HUMANITIES AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. THESE ARE OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND I HAVE SOMEBODY, STAND UP IF ANY OF YOUR COMMITTEE MEMBER IF YOU STAND UP AND AMY HAS BEEN SUCH A FORCE AND HEATHER, YES, HAS BEEN SUCH A FORCE FOR GIFTED EVEN GOING DOWN TO AUSTIN AND REPRESENTING US WITH DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT ARE GOING DOWN IN AUSTIN. SO THEY'RE A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. [APPLAUSE] THERESA, WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU BUT WE KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. I KNOW. DO ANY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO PRESENT? COMMENTS? I HAVE ONE COMMENT I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT JOB THAT YOU'VE DONE THIS YEAR WITH THIS GROUP COMMITTEE. AND I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST COMMITTEE MEMBERS GROUP  OUT OF THE ADVISORY GROUPS. WE HAVE A PASSIONATE GROUP OF PARENTS AND WE  WELCOME ALL OF THEM ON BOARD. SO IT WAS THEY WERE GREAT. SO YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I JUST APPRECIATE SO MUCH, IT'S BEEN AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN HAVE BENEFITED IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES. AND SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE YOU KNOW CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN DO BETTER. AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND I'M GUIDING THIS LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC GROUP. SO THANK YOU THERESA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR SECOND REPORT WILL ALSO BE PRESENTED BY DR. HASLEY, REGARDING HUFFMAN  ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PRIMARY YEAR'S PROGRAMME.  PYP UPDATE DR. HASLEY. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT RICHARDS. WE DO HAVE PRESENTERS  TONIGHT FOR AN UPDATE ON HUFFMAN ELEMENTARY. YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN ON THE JOURNEY FOR THE PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME AUTHORIZATION. AND SO TONIGHT WE HAVE JAMEY ALLEN THE PRINCIPAL OF HUFFMAN, BETH HUBBARD THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF HUFFMAN

[00:45:04]

WELL THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. I KNOW DR. HASLEY INTRODUCED US BUT BETH HUBBARD IS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT HUFFMAN ELEMENTARY. AMY MOORE IS OUR IB PYP COORDINATOR. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ME I'M JAMEY ALLEN THE PRINCIPAL AT HUFFMAN. THESE TWO LADIES STANDING BESIDE ME. I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER TEAM TO GET THIS PROGRAM KICKED OFF. THEY ARE TWO VERY TALENTED.

SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED EDUCATORS IN PLANO ISD AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THEM BY MY SIDE DURING THIS JOURNEY. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND I WANT TO START WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. ABOUT TWO YEARS AT THIS TIME BETH, AMY AND I CAME TO HUFFMAN TO START THIS JOURNEY. A DISTRICT APPOINTED COMMITTEE HAD CHOSEN THE PYP FOR HUFFMAN. THEY WANTED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE STUDENT AND STAFF NEEDS AT HUFFMAN AS WELL AS PROVIDE PLANO ISD WITH ITS VERY FIRST CHOICE PROGRAM FOR THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. SO AT THAT TIME WE BEGAN HAD THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A TEACHER SEARCH AND REALLY HIRE AN ENTIRE NEW STAFF. SOME OF THOSE NEW STAFF CAME DIRECTLY FROM TEACHERS THAT WERE ALREADY AT HUFFMAN.

SOME OF THEM WERE TRANSFERS WITHIN PLANO ISD. SOME OF THEM WERE OUTSIDE CANDIDATES. WE BEGAN A VERY LENGTHY INTERVIEW PROCESS AT OVER 100 INTERVIEWS IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS TIME AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOME VERY SPECIFIC QUALITIES IN THOSE TEACHERS WE WERE LOOKING FOR TEACHERS THAT HAD A MORE NONTRADITIONAL APPROACH TO EDUCATION. HAD CERTAIN SPECIFIC QUALITIES SUCH AS EXPERIENCE WITH INQUIRY, SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, EDUCATING THE WHOLE CHILD. AND AGAIN JUST A NON TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO WHAT THEY WERE ALREADY DOING IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. MOST OF THE CANDIDATES THAT WERE CHOSEN HAD LITTLE TO NO PYP EXPERIENCE INCLUDING THE THREE OF US. BUT WE DID KNOW THAT IF WE FOUND TEACHERS THAT  HAD THOSE SPECIFIC SKILLS THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR THAT THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS THAT CAME WITH THE PYP WERE PIECES THAT WERE TEACHABLE THAT THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM A SUCCESS. SO WE ARE THRILLED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT HUFFMAN OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.

REALLY NOTHING GIVES ME MORE JOY THAN TO TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT HUFFMAN IS. SO BECAUSE WE CAME ON BOARD WITH THE MAJORITY OF OUR STAFF NOT HAVING MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH THE PYP, WE GOT TOGETHER AND MADE A PLAN FOR OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND THAT STARTED HERE IN YEAR ONE AND CONTINUES THROUGH TODAY. WE STARTED WITH THE VERY FIRST TIME OUR ENTIRE STAFF GOT TOGETHER THAT FIRST MAY RIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED THAT FIRST YEAR WE DID THE CURRICULUM DESIGN INSTITUTE WITH LEARNING ABOUT BACKWARDS DESIGN WHICH VERY MUCH ALIGNS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PYP AND THAT REALLY HELPED TO PREPARE US FOR GOING IN TO CURRICULUM WRITING THAT SUMMER AS WELL AS THE CATEGORY 1 TRAINING THAT OUR TEACHERS HAD THROUGH IB. EVERY TEACHER ON OUR STAFF WENT TO IB TRAINING THAT SUMMER WHERE THEY JUST LEARNED THE PHILOSOPHY OF IB AS WELL AS THE PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES JUST THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM BUT ALSO WE SPENT TIME WITH OUR TEACHERS THAT SUMMER IN CURRICULUM WRITING AND REALLY KIND OF GETTING THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM.

WE ALSO MADE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS THAT FIRST YEAR WENT ON AN IB VISIT. IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO START COLLABORATING WITH OTHER TEACHERS AROUND THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA AND EVEN WE COLLABORATED WITH TEACHERS IN AUSTIN AS WELL AT SOME EXISTING PYP SCHOOLS THAT WERE ALREADY WELL ESTABLISHED AND THAT JUST HELPED TO START BUILDING SOME RELATIONSHIPS AND SOME CONNECTIONS. AND THEN ALSO WE STARTED A MONTHLY BOOK STUDY AND DID THAT ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHICH HELPED SUPPORT THE TRAINING THAT THEY HAD IN THE SUMMER THAT REALLY WENT WITH THAT FRAMEWORK OF THE PYP AND THEN WE USED THAT THROUGH OUR COLLABORATIVE PLANNING THAT WE DID THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE PYP IS VERY GROUNDED AND COLLABORATIVE

[00:50:02]

[00:55:01]

SO FRISCO ISD, BRIGHT ACADEMY  THEY HAVE STARTED THE PYP THIS YEAR. THEY'RE A

[01:00:04]

[01:05:03]

SO WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT. SO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY WAS THE FINAL NUMBER OF APPLICANTS THAT DID APPLY FOR THE PYP. ONCE THE APPLICATION PROCESS CLOSED WE HAD TO MOVE TO THE ACCEPTANCE PROCESS AND SO THAT WAS DONE BY RANDOM LOTTERY AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WERE SOME MANDATORY PLACEMENTS. WE HAD THE RENNER  AND THE FRANKFORD FEEDER TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AS MANDATORY PLACEMENTS BECAUSE THERE WAS GOING TO BE TRANSPORTATION THAT WAS GOING TO BE PROVIDED FROM THEIR HOME CAMPUSES TO HUFFMAN. THEN AFTER  THOSE STUDENTS WERE PLACED IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR AND WE STARTED JUST FILLING THOSE SPOTS. THEN ONCE WE GOT TO THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR THAT GRADE LEVEL THEN WE CREATED A WAIT POOL. AND SO THE ONE CONSIDERATION THAT WE DID TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WAS SIBLINGS. SO IF A FAMILY HAD MORE THAN ONE CHILD THAT THEY HAD APPLIED TO ATTEND HUFFMAN FOR THE PYP. IF A CHILD GOT IN AND THEY HAD A SIBLING THEN THAT SIBLING WAS ALSO AUTOMATICALLY GRANTED ADMITTANCE AS WELL.

SO AFTER WE CREATED THE LOTTERY WE HAD THE LIST OF STUDENTS THAT WERE ACCEPTED FOR THE PROGRAM. SO WE STARTED REACHING OUT TO PARENTS. SO EVERY PARENT GOT AN EMAIL  WHETHER IT WAS TO STATE THAT THEY HAD BEEN ACCEPTED FOR THE PROGRAM OR IF THEIR CHILD HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE WAITLIST. THEN PARENTS HAD ONE WEEK'S TIME TO RESPOND WITH YES I ACCEPT THIS  ACCEPTANCE. I ACCEPT THIS SPOT OR NO WE'VE KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT IT WE'VE THOUGHT THROUGH IT AND WE'RE GOING TO DECLINE AT THIS TIME. AND AS THOSE PARENTS OR STUDENTS WERE DECLINING THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED PULLING STUDENTS FROM THAT WAIT OR THAT WAIT POOL. SO IT WAS A. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME TO DO THIS PROCESS. SO IS VERY INTERESTING I GOT A LOT OF GOOD ADVICE FROM THE ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD DONE SOME SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. SO AFTER ALL OF THAT WAS DONE WE'RE SITTING AT ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND TEN STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING TO HUFFMAN IN GRADES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE. WE HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM 33 OF PLANO ISD ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES WHICH IS EXCITING. WE DO HAVE SPOTS STILL AVAILABLE IN SOME  GRADE LEVELS. AFTER WE LOOKED AT THE STUDENTS THAT HAD DECLINED TOOK OFF THE WAITLIST. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GRADE LEVELS THAT ARE CLOSED OR AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF GRADE LEVELS THAT WE STILL HAVE A FEW SPOTS LEFT. WE DO HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WE WILL HAVE NEW FAMILIES MOVE INTO THE HUFFMAN ATTENDANCE ZONE AND THEN THEY'LL COME TO NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION IN JULY. WE DID TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN ALLOTTING THE NUMBER OF SPOTS PER GRADE LEVEL TO KIND OF SAVE SOME SPOTS BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN JULY AND DURING NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION. SO AS AMY SAID WE'RE MOVING INTO YEAR THREE AND HOPING TO BECOME WELL THE IB WORLD SCHOOL AT HUFFMAN ELEMENTARY. SO WHEN WE ARE CHOOSING THE NAME WHEN WE WERE CHOOSING THE NAME WE WANTED TO REALLY KIND OF MODEL AFTER WHAT PLANO EAST DIPLOMA PROGRAM WAS USING AS A NAME SO THAT THEY WERE KIND OF SIMILAR. BUT WE ARE MOVING INTO YEAR THREE. WE WILL BE CONTINUING ALL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED THAT HAPPENED IN YEAR ONE AND YEAR TWO AND THEN ADDING SOME SUPPLEMENTS. MANY OF THOSE SUPPLEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE GOT FROM THE AUTHORIZATION COMMITTEE THAT CAME OUT TO  OUR CAMPUS. FIRST AND FOREMOST THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT WE FELT MOVING INTO PROFESSIONAL LEARNING WAS STUDENT LED INQUIRY. WE REALLY FEEL LIKE AS OUR TEACHERS HAVE DEVELOPED AND BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IB AND STUDENT LED INQUIRY IT WAS MORE OF A TEACHER LED STUDENT LED INQUIRY BASED APPROACH. AND SO

[01:10:05]

[01:15:06]

[01:20:01]

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS PERSPECTIVE TO SEE HOW THEY'VE DONE THAT. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES BUT TWO. THEY'RE BOTH VERY IMPORTANT. YES. IN YEAR 17 18. THAT WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE IB PROGRAM.  THAT WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE IB PROGRAM, YES SIR. OK. SO THEN YOU'LL NOTICE THAT EACH PRECEDING QUINTILE OBVIOUSLY MOVES THE DARK ORANGE OR YELLOW. HOWEVER YOU MIGHT SEE THAT THAT IS QUINTILE 5 WHICH THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE PERFORMING AT THE LOWEST ACADEMIC LEVEL THE LOWEST 20 PERCENT ACCORDING TO NATIONAL NORMS ISN'T YOUR CHALLENGE COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT 40 PERCENT OF KIDS AT HUFFMAN ARE NEW EVERY YEAR. AND HOW DO YOU WORK WITH THAT? SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. WE DO HAVE A HIGH MOBILITY RATE AT HUFFMAN. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO WE ALSO CONSIDER WHEN BRINGING THE PYP BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A TRANS DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM AND BUILDING PORTFOLIOS IS FROM YEAR TO YEAR. IT WAS A CONCERN. HOWEVER WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE STUDENTS ARE VERY RECEPTIVE AND TAKE VERY QUICKLY TO PYP. WE DO TRACK THOSE STUDENTS SPECIFICALLY THEIR DATA AS NEW STUDENTS. WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE COMPARED TO THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE WE PROVIDE THEM WITH INTERVENTION IF NEEDED NOT ALL NEED INTERVENTION BUT WHEN WE HAVE THEM IN OUR DOORS AND OUR ARMS LOVING ON THEM WE DO THE VERY BEST THAT WE CAN ACADEMICALLY. OK JAMEY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER. I'M SO SORRY. BUT I JUST HAD A HA MOMENT. [INAUDIBLE] WANT TO GET UP HERE. JUST KIDDING. LOOKING AT THE KINDERGARTNER. YES. THE THE KIDDOS IN 2017 2018. YOU CAN'T ASK THIS QUESTION BUT I'M INTERESTED. OK. HOW MANY HAD A FORMALIZED PRESCHOOL EXPERIENCE. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND THEN BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR KINDERGARTNERS IS SO TREMENDOUS. YES. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY DATA WE CAN. OK I CAN. SO ABOUT. WE HAD OUT OF ABOUT 60 STUDENTS, 25 OF THEM

[01:25:04]

I'LL SWITCH OVER TO MATH. SO BASICALLY AGAIN SAME THING WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS PERFORMING AT THE TOP QUINTILE QUINTILES AND A DECREASE OF STUDENTS PERFORMING IN THE BOTTOM QUINTILES.

OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT IN EVERY GRADE AND BOTH SUBJECTS. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE AREAS THAT WE STILL NEED TO FOCUS ON PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR OUR TEACHERS AND ALSO DECIDE ON INTERVENTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT GOING INTO THE FOLLOWING YEAR WE LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT DATA ALL THE TIME. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN BUILDING OUR GOALS FOR OUR CAMPUS IN 2019-2020. ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF OUR STAAR DATA AND YET WE DO HAVE THE FIRST ADMINISTRATION OF FIFTH GRADE FOR READING AND MATH. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ON THE FIRST ADMIN OF MATH AND READING HUFFMAN HAS SHOWN A 20 PERCENT INCREASE IN BOTH SUBJECTS ON HOW FIFTH GRADERS PERFORM IN BOTH READING AND MATH. IT PUTS US ALMOST AT AN 80 PERCENT PASSING RATE IN BOTH SUBJECTS WHICH WE'RE VERY PROUD OF. AGAIN WE DO USE MAP AS A PREDICTOR FOR STAAR. MAP WAS VERY CLOSE WITH FIFTH GRADE WAS VERY IN LINE WITH WHAT WE SAW WITH MAP. WE ARE OBVIOUSLY STILL AWAITING SOME SOME SCORES FOR THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE AND ALSO WRITING IN SCIENCE FOR OUR FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS BUT WE'RE VERY HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL SEE THE SAME RESULTS BECAUSE THEIR MAP DATA ALSO LOOKS EQUALLY AS THE PROGRESS IS GREAT. SO THAT IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE PAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS AND COMMUNITY AND OUR SCHOOL IN GENERAL. WE ARE TRULY TRULY PROUD TO BE HUFFMAN HAWK'S. SO HOW MANY STUDENTS DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE ENROLLED NEXT YEAR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE. HUNDRED AND FIFTY, OH KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE 550. WHAT'S YOUR CAPACITY? I THINK IT'S FIVE EIGHTY. I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. AND IS THAT CAPACITY 80 PERCENT CAPACITY OR WHATEVER THE NUMBERS. I'M SORRY SAY THAT AGAIN. WHAT'S THAT. IS IT FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OR DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE. I DON'T KNOW. I'M SORRY. SORRY. I CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION AND GET BACK TO YOU THOUGH FOR SURE. I THINK SOME NUMBERS BEFORE WE HAD PRE-K THERE IT WAS SIX TWENTY FIVE WAS THE 80 PERCENT CAPACITY AND AT ONE POINT WE HAD A LITTLE OVER 700 HUFFMAN STUDENTS THERE BEFORE WE HAD TO DO SOME REZONING. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE WERE CONSIDERING PHYSICAL SPACE WAS THE NUMBER OF STAFF MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE. WE ARE A TITLE 1 CAMPUS AND THANKFULLY WE HAVE ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HELP US WITH INTERVENTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE HAVE TO HOUSE OUR STAFF MEMBERS AS WELL. SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. AND AS WE ADDED ALLOCATIONS FOR THOSE GRADE LEVELS IN ORDER TO ACCEPT MORE STUDENTS TO THE PYP PROGRAM MOST OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES ARE EITHER MOVING INTO SOME SORT OF CLOSET OR WE ARE ACTUALLY BUILDING A NEW AREA DOWN IN OUR KINDERGARTEN THAT CAN BE AN OFFICE SPACE. SO CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DIFFERENT SUPPORT SERVICES YOU DO HAVE AT HUFFMAN. AS A TITLE 1 CAMPUS. SO WE HAVE OUR IB COORDINATOR. OBVIOUSLY NOT EVERY CAMPUS HAS THAT BUT THEY ARE NOT PYP BUT WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FIVE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES THAT WILL BE AND THAT WERE ALLOCATED FOR FOR NEXT YEAR. WE DID GO DOWN TO ONE ESL TEACHER INSTEAD OF ONE AND A HALF. WE HAVE A SECOND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL THAT WILL BE ADDED. TRYING TO. YES, AN SEL TEACHER AND A SOCIAL WORKER. THOSE ARE THE OTHER TWO THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED FOR OUR CAMPUS THAT SEL TEAM WITH OUR SEL TEACHER ARE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL TEACHER LEADER. SORRY I JUST SAW MYSELF UP ON THE. IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING. I'M NOT REALLY LIKING WHAT I'M SEEING RIGHT NOW.

[01:30:04]

I WAS JUST TOTALLY IMPRESSED AND I HAVE MY DAUGHTER'S BEST FRIEND AND HER SISTER ARE GOING TO TRAVEL THIS SUMMER THROUGH EUROPE TOGETHER. AND SO I NEED A COPY OF YOUR PEACE WALK. OK. YES. OUR PEACE PATH. YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. YES. YEAH. A PEACE PATH IS ONE OF THE INTERVENTIONS THAT WE USE TO FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION BETWEEN STUDENTS. YEAH WELL I WAS SO PLEASED TO HEAR THIS. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMUNITY SELECTION COMMITTEE THREE, FOUR  YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE MAKING THIS DECISION AND ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT WE GOT TO DECIDE BETWEEN AND THIS ONE LOOK VERY DAUNTING AND WE CHOSE IT ANYWAY AND AND I FEEL LIKE JAMEY,  BETH AND AMY AND SOMETIMES QUOTES FALL INTO YOUR LAP IN THE RIGHT TIME AND THE RIGHT PLACE AND SO KIND OF [INAUDIBLE] TO WHAT NANCY SAID ABOUT WORK AND WE ALL HAVE HEARD THAT THE MOORHEAD HOUSE COLLEGE HAD A SPECIAL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER THIS WEEK. ROBERT SMITH AND THE QUOTE THAT HE SAID AND I THINK THIS IS SO APPROPRIATE TO YOU GUYS IS GREATNESS IS BORN OUT OF GRIND. EMBRACE THE GRIND AND I THINK THAT THE WORK AND THE SWEAT EQUITY AND ALL THE TIME THAT YOU THREE AND YOUR ENTIRE STAFF HAS DONE HAS TRULY SHOWN US GREATNESS. AND PLEASE TAKE THAT BACK TO YOUR CAMPUS. SURE WILL. AND GREAT GRATITUDE FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE UNBELIEVABLY BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN TWO YEARS. THEY'LL PAINT IT ON THE WALL. [LAUGHTER] YES. GREATNESS IS BORN OF GRIND. YOU KNOW I DID HAVE ONE OR TWO MORE QUESTIONS. OF COURSE. GOING INTO NEXT YEAR I KNOW. YOU KNOW EVERY TEACHER HAS A RIGOROUS WORKLOAD IB. YEAH. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL SO YOU KNOW CERTAIN TEACHERS RISE TO THAT OCCASION CERTAIN TEACHERS DON'T. YES. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR STAFF IS GONNA BE NEW THIS AUGUST. YEAH. SO WE ALSO TOOK ON THE TRANSFORMATIONAL COMPONENT AS WELL. SO OUR TEACHERS DID HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THAT AND LOOK AT THE SIX EXTRA DAYS THAT WE WOULD BE SPENDING AND AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON TOP OF IB. SO I WILL SAY THAT THERE IS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS BUT I CAN GET IT BACK TO YOU. BUT I WILL SAY THIS. THERE IS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF TURNOVER BECAUSE OF THAT REASON THIS YEAR THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT TAKES A VERY SPECIFIC AND TALENTED TEACHER TO BE A PART OF THE PYP. SOME TEACHERS YOU KNOW GOT  INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WASN'T FOR THEM. I'D RATHER THAT THAN ME TELLING THEM IT'S NOT FOR THEM. FOUND OUT THAT IT WASN'T FOR THEM. SO WE DID ANTICIPATE SOME TURNOVER THIS FIRST COUPLE YEARS BUT I WILL THE CANDIDATES THAT HAVE STUCK IT OUT THESE PAST TWO YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOYAL TO HUFFMAN, WE'RE DUPLICATING THEM. AND SO I ANTICIPATE THAT TO DECREASE. AND THOSE TEACHERS WHO ARE THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE RISING TO A LEADERSHIP COMPONENT  PERCENT. AND EVEN WITH LESS OVERALL TEACHING EXPERIENCE RISING TO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS BUT DEFINITELY HUFFMAN EXPERIENCE AND PYP EXPERIENCE. AND JUST ONE MORE QUESTION IN TERMS OF STUDENTS TRANSITION FROM FIFTH GRADE TO SIXTH GRADE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S A VERY HIGH INQUIRY ENVIRONMENT VERY DIFFERENT FROM OUR MIDDLE

[01:35:04]

SO AGAIN WITH MORE TIME I HOPE THAT THAT'S WHATS SEEN. JUST INTERESTED TO SEE IF THEY'RE STILL CHALLENGED THE WAY THEY ARE.  PYP IS A STAND ALONE PROGRAM. SO IT CAN STAND ALONE.

BUT AGAIN IT'S THE MOST HIGHLY ASKED QUESTION. [LAUGHTER] WELL I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

I'VE BEEN A HUFFMAN PERSON SINCE 2002. THIS HAS BEEN A 17 YEAR JOURNEY FOR ME. I CONSIDER HUFFMAN MY THIRD YOUNGEST CHILD. WE ARRIVED IN 2002 AND MY SON WAS FIVE HE JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE LAST WEEK. SO I APPLAUD WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I WILL ALSO POINT OUT TO ADMIN FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT RESOURCES. AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK AT ANY OF OUR DECISION MAKING MOVING FORWARD. THESE ARE RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT EXTRAS. THESE ARE REQUIRED FOR THESE CHILDREN AND THESE FAMILIES TO HAVE SUCCESS. SO PART OF IT'S GRIND. BUT PART OF IT'S ACTUALLY MONEY.

AND SO I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. ALSO I'M VERY EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE  FIFTH GRADERS WITH THE HOPEFULLY 80 PERCENTILE STAAR. I THINK IN PLANO WE OUGHT TO BE B'S OR BETTER. AND SO I THINK EVERYTHING WE CAN DO BECAUSE THAT'S MOVING UP FROM WHAT IS IT PERHAPS 60 ISH LOW 60S PERCENT. LOW 60S. TO A NUMBER THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF. COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. THANKS. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE JUST 30 SECONDS TO CLARIFY ONE OF THE STAFFING ALLOCATION QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP. DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG? NO. NO. OK. EACH ELEMENTARY CAMPUS DOES HAVE AN INSTRUCTIONAL SPECIALIST. BUT THE THE EXTRA RESOURCES AFFORDED AT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES WE HAVE SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAVE COME TOGETHER AT HUFFMAN TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STAFF ARE THE TITLE ONE COMPONENT HAS PROVIDED ADDITIONAL STAFF ALLOCATIONS THAT CAN BE USED FOR INTERVENTION AND COACHING AND THOSE ACTIVITIES. THE IB PYP CANDIDACY OF COURSE HAS ADDED SOME STAFF AS WELL AS FOR NEXT YEAR THE TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS ADDED SOME PIECES OF OF STAFF MOVING FORWARD. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PERFECT COMBINATION OF THINGS COMING TOGETHER AT HUFFMAN. YES. A LOT OF LOT OF PIECES AT ONCE. I HAVE ONE MORE CLARIFICATION AS WELL. SO THE THE ENROLLMENT AT HUFFMAN I'M SORRY THE PROGRAM CAPACITY IS 680 AND THE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY IS 578. OK. NOW WE KNOW OK. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. WE HAD 700 IN THE BUILDING FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. SO YES THEY WERE CLASSROOMS IN CLOSETS BUT I THINK ONCE AGAIN TO TO POINT OUT FOR YEARS WE HAVE HAD DIFFERENCES IN OUR STAFFING ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR THAT HUFFMAN WILL HAVE A FULL TIME SOCIAL WORKER. YES. SO THERE HAVE BEEN NEEDS THAT WERE UNMET FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SO YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WITH SWEAT AND HARD WORK. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE EXTRA HELP. VERY GRATEFUL FOR HER. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S BEEN A REQUEST FOR A FIVE MINUTE BREAK WHICH I ALSO EMBRACE.

AND SO IN FIVE MINUTES IF WE COULD PLEASE RESUME THE MEETING. THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. IF WE COULD RECONVENE WE TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN FIVE MINUTES SO IF WE COULD HAVE THE TRUSTEES AND THE ADMINISTRATION RETURNED TO THE DAIS. ALL

[01:40:09]

ONBOARDING IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT IN THE EMPLOYEE SERVICES DIVISION AND IN HOW WE DO THAT IN PLANO ISD AND HOW WE WANT TO DO THAT BY LOOKING AT INDUSTRY RESEARCH THAT'S SPECIFIC TO EDUCATION AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE BUSINESS WORLD. WE ARE EMBRACING THE FACT THAT ONBOARDING IS NOT A SINGLE EVENT BUT IT'S A MULTIFACETED ONGOING PROCESS THAT OFTEN NEEDS TO TAKE SEVERAL YEARS. WE STRIVE TO UTILIZE AN INTENTIONAL ONBOARDING PROCESS DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE EMPLOYEES TO THE ORGANIZATION, EQUIP THEM TO BE AN INVALUABLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM AND EMPOWER THEM TO GROW WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BE A PART OF. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER AND TYPES AND ROLES OF EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE IN THIS DISTRICT. IT'S OVERWHELMING TO TACKLE A PROJECT BECAUSE ONBOARDING IS PERSONAL AND IT IS SPECIFIC TO THE ROLE ONBOARDING FOR A NEW TEACHER LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR SOMEONE THAT IS GOING FROM BEING A TEACHER TO AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL IN THE SAME ORGANIZATION. WE DECIDED TO START WHERE OUR CORE BUSINESS WAS AS A DISTRICT AND AS AN ORGANIZATION AND THAT IS IN THE CLASSROOM WITH OUR LEARNING AND TEACHING. SO WE'RE STARTING OUR ONBOARDING REVISION JOURNEY WITH OUR TEACHERS. WE'RE LOOKING AT BOTH OUR NEW TEACHERS TO THE DISTRICT EXPERIENCED BUT COMING TO US TO START THEIR NEW JOURNEY IN PLANO AND THOSE WHO ARE JUST STARTING OUT AND BEGINNING THEIR CAREER. WHETHER THEY'RE A TWENTY SOMETHING COMING OUT OF COLLEGE OR THEY'RE A CAREER CHANGER. SO I WANTED ASHLEY TO COME THIS EVENING AND SHARE SOME CHANGES WE'RE MAKING TO HOW WE ONBOARD TEACHERS IN THIS DISTRICT WITH MORE PROJECTS TO FOLLOW IN A FEW YEARS. THANK YOU DR. BROCKMAN.

PRESIDENT RICHARDS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT BONSER AND CABINET MEMBERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT OUR TEACHER ONBOARDING PROGRAM AS WELL AS HOW IT CONNECTS TO OUR NEW STRATEGIC PLAN. SO OUR TEACHER ONBOARDING REALLY DOES CONNECT WITH OUR NEW STRATEGIC PLAN WITH OUR PILLAR 3 WHICH IS ABOUT THE RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND TRAINING OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED THE MOST HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHING STAFF. AND SO IT REALLY DOES CONNECT WITH THESE THREE STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE RECRUITMENT AND ONBOARDING PRACTICES BUT THEN ALSO DEVELOPING A CULTURE THAT EMPOWERS OUR TEACHERS AND THEN OUR THIRD STRATEGY IN PILLAR 3 IS ABOUT A MULTI TIERED SYSTEM OF CARE AND SUPPORT. I THINK THAT YOU'LL SEE THOSE THREE THREADS RUN THROUGH EACH OF OUR ONBOARDING PRACTICES AS WE TALK ABOUT NEW TEACHERS. SO OUR NEW TEACHERS WHEN THEY COME TO US A LOT OF TIMES THEY HAVE HAD T-TESS IN THE PAST. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DECIDED RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE IS THAT WE DON'T WANT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE FOR TEACHERS TO HAVE WITH US IN PLANO ISD IS A REPEAT OF TRAINING THAT THEY'VE ALREADY HAD SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO IF THEY'VE HAD THEIR T-TESS ORIENTATION WHICH T-TESS IS THE WAY THAT TEACHERS ARE EVALUATED IN PLANO ISD, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT AGAIN. SO WE DON'T WANT THEIR ORIENTATION TO BE A REPEAT OF SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE HAD SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO THEY ONLY HAVE TO DO T-TESS ORIENTATION IF THEY HAVEN'T HAD IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS A FOUR HOUR ORIENTATION SO THAT'S NOT A GREAT WAY TO START YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH A NEW JOB OF HAVING TO REPEAT SOMETHING. SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE ACTUALLY OFFER IN THE SUMMER. IT'S OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT SESSIONS AND THAT REALLY IS NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT THE STATE SAYS IT IS ABOUT HOW WE VIEW T-TESS, THE PHILOSOPHY OF T-TESS IN PLANO ISD AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS TO GROW IN THEIR PRACTICE AS EDUCATORS HOW TO GROW THEIR INSTRUCTION AND HOW TO SUPPORT STUDENTS HOW TO BE STUDENT FOCUSED IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. SO WE REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. HOW WILL THEY BE SUPPORTED BY THEIR ADMINISTRATORS AND HOW THE RUBRICS AND HOW THE SYSTEM SUPPORTS THEM IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. SO THAT IS THE KIND OF THEIR FIRST PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN PLANO ISD IS TO KIND OF LOOK AT THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM AND THOSE ARE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND THAT IS PART OF THEIR ONBOARDING PROCESS AS THEY COME IN THROUGH H.R. AS THEY'RE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE TIMES

[01:45:03]

SYSTEMS FOR LEARNING. THAT'S HOW WE REALLY REFER TO CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT. SO CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT IS NEVER ABOUT POWER. IT IS ABOUT CREATING SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES SO STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO LEARNING IN OUR CLASSROOMS. IT'S ABOUT CREATING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS SO THAT STUDENTS CAN INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH THEIR TEACHER SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN. AND SO WE REALLY ARE LOOKING AT CREATING CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLANS AND PROGRAMS TO WHERE STUDENTS HAVE THAT ACCESS FROM DAY ONE. AND  THEN THE THIRD COMPONENT OF OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHER ACADEMY IS SELF CARE. SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR YOU TO SELF REGULATE. HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUDENTS. AND IT'S  KIND OF THAT THINKING OF PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK ON FIRST. RIGHT. SO HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE TO TAKE CARE OF  YOUR STUDENTS. AND ONE OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE USING REALLY DOES LOOK AT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR ENTIRE FIRST YEAR TEACHING. THE OTHER BIG IDEA ABOUT DAY ZERO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR NEW TEACHERS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE A  PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES. SO ON THAT DAY THEY WILL BE WELCOMED INTO OUR TEAM WITH OPEN ARMS. THEY WILL SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS THEY'LL GET TO MEET AND SOME DISTRICT LEVEL PERSONNEL. THEY'LL GET TO MEET SOME OF OUR CURRICULUM TEAM. THEY'LL GET TO MEET SOME OF OUR CABINET LEVEL LEADERSHIP. WE BUY LUNCH FOR THEM. THEY GET RESOURCES. THEY'LL HAVE HANDS ON THEY MAKE AND TAKES THEY'LL DO THINGS THAT REALLY HELP THEM GET SET UP FOR THEIR CLASSROOM BUT THEY SEE THAT THEY HAVE AN EXTENDED TEAM A SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT REALLY WILL HELP GET THEM STARTED AND MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THAT WE ARE EXCITED THAT THEY'RE THERE. WE DO A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT CELEBRATING. WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS THE CELEBRATION AND HOW TO CELEBRATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS PART OF THEIR SELF CARE AND THE VERY FIRST THING THAT WE ASK THEM TO ADD ON TO THEIR CELEBRATION LIST IS THAT YOU ARE HIRED AS A FIRST YEAR TEACHER IN PLANO ISD AND NOT EVERYBODY CAN SAY THAT. SO THEN AFTER THAT DAY ZERO ALL OF OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS ALL OF OUR NEW TO PLANO ISD TEACHERS JOIN US FOR THREE DAYS OF ORIENTATION AND THOSE 3 DAYS ARE VERY PURPOSEFUL. STARTING WITH A CAMPUS DAY WE FEEL LIKE THE TEACHERS NEED TO START ON THEIR HOME CAMPUS SO THAT THEY START WITH THEIR SCHOOL FAMILY. AND SO PRINCIPALS PLAN THAT DAY AND WE ASK ONE THING OF THAT DAY WHICH IS THAT TEACHERS GET THEIR TECHNOLOGY. SO THAT THEY GET THEIR TECHNOLOGY ON THAT DAY AND THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOG IN AND THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO GET THEIR EMAIL BECAUSE THEN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THEN THEY CAN ACCESS THEIR CURRICULUM THAT WE CAN HAVE TECHNOLOGY ORIENTATION THEY  LEARN THEIR GRADE BOOK AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. OTHER THAN THAT CAMPUS PRINCIPALS PLAN THOSE DAYS WITH THEIR MENTOR TEACHERS WITH THEIR CAMPUS LEADERSHIP TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT TEACHERS REALLY DO NEW TO THEIR CAMPUS HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR WHAT IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN FOR IN THAT COMING YEAR. SO IT'S A CAMPUS PLAN DAY AND IT'S A REALLY GREAT DAY. THEY COME IN TO NEW

[01:50:03]

AND WE START WITH, SARA WELCOMED US LAST YEAR WE HAD SOME ACTIVITIES AND WE'LL DO THOSE AGAIN WHERE WE KIND OF ORIENT THEM AND WELCOME THEM TO OUR DISTRICT AS A  WHOLE. AND THEN FROM THERE THEY BREAK INTO SOME ROTATIONS AND WE'LL KIND OF TALK THROUGH THOSE ROTATIONS IN A SECOND. ON THE THIRD DAY OF OUR NEW TEACHER ORIENTATION WE HAVE CURRICULUM DAY AND ON THAT DAY OUR CURRICULUM TEAM FROM ACADEMIC SERVICES THEY PLAN THINGS THAT ARE SUBJECT SPECIFIC FOR CONTENT AREA TEACHERS AND THE TEACHERS KIND OF DIVIDE ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SO WE HAVE PRE-K GOES TO PRE-K, OUR ELEMENTARY TEAM DOES A GREAT JOB KIND OF FOCUSING THEM ON WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE CURRICULUM PLANNER AND HOW TO WORK AS A COLLABORATIVE TEAM AND OUR SECONDARY CURRICULUM COORDINATORS PLAN CONTENT SPECIFIC LEARNING FOR OUR SECONDARY TEACHERS. CTE WORKS WITH THEM THAT DAY. SO EVERYBODY GOES TO THEIR OWN SPACE WITH THEIR OWN CONTENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE READY FOR THEIR CONTENT ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. SO THE THREE ROTATIONS ON OUR DISTRICT WELCOME DAY AND THESE WERE DECIDED BY OUR PLANO LEADERSHIP EXECUTIVE TEAM THAT KIND OF COMES TOGETHER TO THINK THROUGH WHAT ARE THE BIG PIECES AND PRIORITIES FOR OUR NEW TEACHERS AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. AND SO THESE THINGS ARE WHAT WE DECIDED. SO WE'RE GOING TO REALLY LOOK AT OUR COLLABORATIVE TEAM FRAMEWORK. SO THE THREE ROTATIONS AFTER OUR BIG DISTRICT WELCOME WILL GO OVER OUR COLLABORATIVE TEAM FRAMEWORK SO THAT OUR NEW TEACHERS WON'T BE RUNNING FROM BEHIND. SO WHEN THEY GET TO THEIR CAMPUSES AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM FRAMEWORK AND THE PLC PROCESS THEY WILL HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND A STARTING POINT FOR THOSE THINGS SO THAT THEY CAN INTEGRATE INTO THEIR COLLABORATIVE TEAM IN A MEANINGFUL WAY.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT CREATING THE PLANO ISD TEACHER BRAND. AND THIS IS REALLY ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS OF BEING A PLANO ISD TEACHER. SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN HOW DO WE REPRESENT OURSELVES ONLINE. HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS. HOW DO WE DRESS. HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER TEACHERS. HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH STUDENTS SO IT REALLY IS ABOUT BRANDING. BUT IT'S ABOUT EXPECTATIONS. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY BY CREATING OUR PLANO ISD TEACHER BRAND. AND THEN OUR THIRD ROTATION IS TECHNOLOGY FROM LOGGING INTO EMPOWERED LEARNING SO OUR TECHNOLOGY TEAM IS REALLY GOING TO TALK ABOUT FROM YOUR GRADE BOOK AND USING TEAMS AND ALL OF THOSE LOGISTICS TO ALSO WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT AND HOW DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT USING TECHNOLOGY IN OUR CLASSROOMS. SO IT'LL BE A QUICK OVERVIEW BUT ENOUGH TO GET OUR TEACHERS LOGGED IN AND READY TO GO. SO THAT'S THE FIRST PIECE OF OUR NEW TEACHER ORIENTATION. ANOTHER PIECE THAT WE ARE ADDING THIS YEAR AND THIS IS BRAND NEW IS OUR CAMPUS MENTOR PROGRAM. SO OUR CAMPUS MENTOR PROGRAM THIS IS COMPLETELY SHIFTING FROM A MODEL THAT WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST WHERE WE HAD BEEN MENTOR LIAISONS. SO IN THE PAST WHAT WE DID IS WE HAD MENTOR LIAISONS WHERE THERE WAS ONE LIAISON FOR EVERY CAMPUS AND THEY CAME TO SOME TRAINING AND THERE WAS LIKE A SYLLABUS AND THEN THEY WENT AND THERE WERE MENTORS ON CAMPUSES. SO WE'RE SHIFTING OUR MODEL. SO OUR PROGRAM GOALS AS WE SHIFT OUR MODEL TO THIS CAMPUS MENTOR PROGRAM IS TWOFOLD. ONE IS THAT WE REALLY FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS OF OUR MENTOR TEACHERS AND TWO IS TO PROVIDE THAT ONGOING CAMPUS BASED SUPPORT. SO WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT TEACHERS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT RETENTION FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD NO ONE SAYS, I'M STAYING IN THIS PROFESSION BECAUSE OF THAT ONE PULL OUT DAY THAT I HAD MY FIRST YEAR TEACHING. EVEN IF THAT ONE PULLOUT DAY WAS GREAT. WHAT THEY SAY IS I'M STAYING BECAUSE I HAD A PHENOMENAL MENTOR AND THE CAMPUS SUPPORT THAT I HAD WAS JUST IN TIME, EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AND WAS SO TARGETED FOR WHAT I NEEDED MY FIRST YEAR, SECOND YEAR, THIRD YEAR OF TEACHING. SO WE REALLY WANT TO REDESIGN OUR CAMPUS MENTOR PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR TEACHERS WHERE THEY ARE. AND SO TO DO THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE REALLY NEED TO MEET THE  NEEDS OF OUR MENTORS. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING A MENTOR LIAISON THAT RECEIVES TRAINING WE'RE FLIPPING THE MODEL AND WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TRAINING FOR ALL OF OUR MENTORS AND PROVIDE STIPENDS FOR ALL OF OUR MENTORS. SO IT CHANGES THE PROGRAM MODEL A LITTLE BIT. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE PERSON ON EVERY CAMPUS THAT RECEIVES A STIPEND AND THEN MENTORS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE A STIPEND, EVERY MENTOR WILL  MENTOR UP TO SIX NEW TEACHERS. NEW TO PLANO ISD TEACHERS. SO AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THIS MODEL LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE THE OTHER THING THAT WE'VE

[01:55:01]

AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYBODY STAYS THERE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MATCHING THE KIND OF SUPPORT AT THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT PERSON. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE TRAINING PIECES THAT WE'LL PROVIDE. SO AS I SAID EARLIER ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS WHAT KINDS OF SUPPORT DO WE WANT OUR MENTORS TO PROVIDE. SO THE FOUR MAIN AREAS OF SUPPORT ARE EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL. AND SO WE'RE REALLY GOING TO FOCUS OUR FIRST THIS FIRST YEAR ON EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL SUPPORT. SO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT IS JUST WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND SELF CARE THAT THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES. THAT YOU'RE CONNECTING WITH THEM THAT THEY HAVE THAT SUPPORT AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU'RE CONNECTING THEM TO OTHERS. PHYSICAL SUPPORT. HOW ARE THEY SETTING UP THEIR CLASSROOM. ARE THEY ORGANIZED. DO THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED AND THEN INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT. SO THOSE ARE THE TWO MAIN AREAS THE ONES ON THE LEFT ARE THE TWO MAIN AREAS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR MENTORS ARE PROVIDING INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT. IS THE SCHOOL CULTURE AND CLIMATE. SO THEY'RE GOING TO CONNECT WITH THEIR PRINCIPALS AND THAT'S THE PART THAT THEIR PRINCIPALS ARE GOING TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT THE PRINCIPAL AND MENTOR ARE ON THE SAME PAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE INDUCTING THOSE NEW TEACHERS INTO THAT SPACE. HOW DO WE OPERATE ON THIS  CAMPUS. WHAT IS THE CULTURE AND CLIMATE WHAT IS OUR MISSION WHAT IS OUR VISION HERE HOW DOES THAT ALIGN WITH OUR DISTRICT MISSION AND VISION AND OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. SO THEY'RE GOING TO REALLY HELP OUR TEACHERS CONNECT TO THE BIGGER PICTURE AND THEY'RE GOING TO HELP THEM ESTABLISH THE SUPPORT NETWORK INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT WHERE WE'RE ASKING OUR MENTORS TO DO IS BE A CONNECTOR SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL ANSWERS THEY DON'T HAVE TO TEACH IN THE SAME. SO I WAS AN ENGLISH TEACHER BY TRADE SO I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE ANSWERS FOR A NEW SCIENCE TEACHER. I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS THE SCIENCE COORDINATOR WHO IS THE SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONAL SPECIALIST WHO IS THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE CAMPUS AND WHO IS THEIR TEAM LEADER. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT THEM TO THOSE PEOPLE IF

[02:00:05]

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL OF IT. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE THINK THAT THEY CAN HANDLE SIX AT A TIME BECAUSE THEY CAN DO SMALL GROUP MEETINGS TO  PROVIDE THAT PHYSICAL SUPPORT AND THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND BE CONNECTORS WITH THEIR PRINCIPALS FOR THE OTHER TWO. SOME OF THE OTHER ONGOING SUPPORT THAT WE DO OUR CURRICULUM TEAM REALLY DOES A GREAT JOB OF PROVIDING SUPPORT THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. SEVERAL OF OUR CONTENT AREAS OFFER TWO TO THREE YEAR PATHWAYS. OUR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OUR [INAUDIBLE] DEPARTMENT HAS VERY SPECIFIC PATHWAYS THAT SPAN OVER THE COURSE OF TWO TO THREE YEARS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE TEACHERS HAVE EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED IN THOSE VERY SPECIFIC CONTENT AREAS. OTHER OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND GRADE LEVELS ARE MULTILINGUAL DEPARTMENTS SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS ARE LOOKING AT HOW CAN WE CREATE PATHWAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE SUPPORT THAT'S ADDED IN CLASSROOMS AND THE SUPPORT THAT THEY'RE ALREADY GIVEN BUT THAT IT IS A PATHWAY AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND 3.2 AND THOSE PATHWAYS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW ARE WE REALLY MAKING SURE THAT ONBOARDING IS CONNECTED TO THAT. THEN OUR TEAM LEADERS PROVIDE A LOT OF PLANNING SUPPORT AND THEY GET A LOT OF SUPPORT THROUGH COLLABORATIVE TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE FOLLOWING OUR CURRICULUM THAT THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED IN THAT AREA. AND AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL. AND THEN THERE'S JUST SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE DO AS A DEPARTMENT AS A DISTRICT LEVEL TEAM WITH HAPPY [INAUDIBLE] SUBSCRIPTIONS. SO NEW BOARD MEMBERS YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED THOSE YET BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT NEXT YEAR YOU GET ONE. SO THAT IS A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SUBSCRIPTION KIND OF LIKE A BIRCHBOX OR A FAB FIT FUN THAT WE HAVE WITH PROFESSIONAL EARNING. SO WE DO SOME NEW TEACHER FOCUSED TRADE OPPORTUNITIES AND THERE'S ONLINE RESOURCES THAT ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED AS WE GET FEEDBACK FROM OUR NEW TEACHERS AND THEIR MENTORS ABOUT WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC NEEDS THAT THEY'RE SEEING ON THEIR CAMPUSES. SO THESE ARE KIND OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS NEW TEACHER ONBOARDING THERE'S A LOT OF NEW BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CONTINUED THINGS THAT WE'RE JUST DEEPENING AND LOOKING AT THAT REITERATION OF HOW CAN WE REFLECT AND MAKE THEM BETTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT TO OUR TEACHERS SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS IN REALLY MEANINGFUL WAYS.

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS. ALL OF THIS IS AWESOME. ONE QUESTION I HAD WAS IN TERMS OF PEER TO PEER FOR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS OUTSIDE OF THE MENTORSHIP COLLABORATION AND AT WORK THEY HAVE. IS THERE ANY FIRST YEAR TEACHER NETWORKING YOU KNOW EVEN BETWEEN CAMPUSES YOU KNOW OVER A HUNDRED AND FIFTY NEW TEACHERS.

WHERE THEY CAN LINK UP TOGETHER AND SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. SO IT'S ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF OUR DAY ZERO OR OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHER ACADEMY IS THAT THEY ARE GROUPED BY CONTENT AREA AND THEY WILL BE TOGETHER ALL DAY. SO WE HAVE SEEN THEM. WE DIDN'T HAVE DAY ZERO LAST YEAR WE HAD ONE  THE YEAR BEFORE. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THOSE PEOPLE THEY CREATE RELATIONSHIPS ON THAT DAY AND THEN THEY WILL CONTINUE THOSE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE OTHER PIECE THAT WE ARE INSTITUTING THAT WE DIDN'T PUT IN HERE IS THERE WILL BE AN END OF THE YEAR CELEBRATION NEXT YEAR FOR OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS. YOU MADE IT, RIGHT. THERE WILL BE AN END OF THE YEAR CELEBRATION FOR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS AND THEIR MENTORS AND TO CELEBRATE THAT THEY'VE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR AND SO AND THE OTHER PIECE THAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AS FAR AS THE BEING RESPONSIVE IS ADDING SOME FIRST YEAR TEACHER ONLY DURING THE YEAR. SO AFTER SCHOOL A FIRST YEAR TEACHER SESSION ON OUR TRADE LEARNING SATURDAYS TO WHERE THEY CAN RECONNECT DURING THOSE TIMES AS WELL. SO THOSE ARE SOME CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'VE SEEN LIKE OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS. THEY DON'T NEED TRADE HOURS THEY GET ALL THE HOURS THAT THEY NEED DURING NEW TEACHER ORIENTATION BUT THEY SHOW UP AT OUR TRADE LEARNING THEY SHOW UP AFTER SCHOOL THEY SHOW UP BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EAGER AND READY TO LEARN. SO JUST CREATING THOSE INTENTIONAL SPACES THROUGHOUT THIS NEXT YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THOSE CONNECTION POINTS SO THAT'S ALREADY ON OUR RADAR. BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP. TO CLARIFY NEW TEACHERS NOT JUST FIRST YEAR TEACHERS ALL GET A MENTOR. YES. OR ONLY FIRST YEAR TEACHERS. NO. ALL NEW TO THE DISTRICT TEACHERS GET A MENTOR. FOR TWO YEARS. FOR ONE YEAR. FOR ONE YEAR. SO IF YOU'VE BEEN TEACHING FOR 20 YEARS YOU GET A MENTOR FOR ONE YEAR. AND THAT SUPPORT WILL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN YOUR FIRST YEAR TEACHER. IN FACT SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS THIS SLIDE. THE NEW TEACHER FIELD GUIDE ALL OF OUR MENTORS ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THAT BOOK AND ALL OF OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THAT BOOK.

THEY'LL DO SOME OF THOSE ACTIVITIES WITH A VETERAN TEACHER THAT'S NEW TO PLANO ISD

[02:05:04]

SO IT'S ONLY THE FIRST YEAR TEACHERS THEY GET THE TWO YEAR. THE FIRST YEAR TEACHERS GET TWO YEARS OF SUPPORT. JUST SIDE NOTE I WAS A NEW TEACHER NOT FIRST YEAR OBVIOUSLY FOUR TIMES AND THIS IS AMAZING. I MEAN IT TRULY IS. AND I NEVER GOT THAT EXTRA SUPPORT BUT IT IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT REPORT IN [INAUDIBLE] [APPLAUSE] AND IF YORAM WERE HERE HE WOULD COMPLIMENT YOUR SLIDES AGAIN. OUR NEXT REPORT ENSURES  EFFICIENT USE OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND BUDGETING. RANDY MCDOWELL CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER WILL PRESENT THE PRELIMINARY 2019 2020 BUDGET REPORT. MR. MCDOWELL. THANK YOU PRESIDENT RICHARDS. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SO TONIGHT WE DO HAVE THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND SO THIS IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE BUDGET PROCESS THAT'S GONE ON FOR MANY MONTHS. THE NUMBERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU TONIGHT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN SHOWING YOU AND ESPECIALLY BACK LAST MONTH IN APRIL. WE'LL JUST BE GIVING YOU SOME MORE DETAILED NUMBERS AS ALL THE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE WE'RE IN EMAIL GROUPS WE CORRESPOND A LOT IN THE AREA WE'RE ALL ON HOLD WAITING FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO DECIDE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AND WITH THE BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE HOUSE VERSION AND THE SENATE VERSION AND NOT REALLY KNOWING WHERE IT'S FALLING WE'RE ALL STRUGGLING WITH TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOME MODEL OF EVEN TRYING TO GUESS AT A BUDGET OF WHAT IT MAY END UP. AND SO THE GROUP E-MAIL TODAY WAS PRETTY MUCH WE'RE ALL DOING CURRENT YEAR SCHOOL FINANCE AND WAIT AND SEE IF THEY CAN GET IT RESOLVED MAYBE THIS WEEK OR NEXT AND IF WE HAVE TIME TO THEN TRY TO FLIP IT AROUND AND COME UP WITH USING THE NEW FORMULAS. BUT REALLY THIS IS ALL THAT WE HAVE TO GO ON AND SO. SO HERE WE GO.  WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET GOALS I'LL GO BACK THROUGH THESE AGAIN. SO THE CATEGORIES THE FIRST CATEGORY IS STRATEGIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. THAT IS EVALUATE EXPENDITURES TO DETERMINE COST BENEFIT  ANALYSIS AND EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE ONGOING ESPECIALLY AS WE FACE THE LARGE DEFICIT BUDGET THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY  LOOKING AT. WE DID IMPLEMENT A ZERO BASED BUDGET PROCESS FOR DEPARTMENTS. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE DEPARTMENTS HARD WORK THERE. PROVIDE CAMPUS BUDGET ALLOCATIONS AND RESOURCES THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND ADHERE TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES. WE'VE ALSO WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH CAMPUSES ON DEVELOPING THEIR BUDGETS AND THAT NEW CAMPUS BUDGET ALLOCATION THAT'S BY STATE PROGRAM ALLOTMENT WHICH IS THE WAY THAT IT NEEDS TO BE ALLOCATED OUT. MAINTAIN ADEQUATE FUND BALANCED RESERVES.

THAT'S ALWAYS A PRIORITY IF WE WANT TO STAY SOLID FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

ADJUST RESOURCES TO ADDRESS DECLINING ENROLLMENT. IT'S NO SECRET THAT OUR ENROLLMENT IS DOWN AND WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MODIFY OUR RESOURCES AS OUR REVENUES GO DOWN ACCORDINGLY. THE NEXT CATEGORY TALENT ACQUISITION SUPPORTING GROWTH ATTRACT AND RETAIN AN EFFECTIVE QUALITY WORKFORCE BY PROVIDING COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. I KNOW BETH AND HER TEAM ARE WORKING HARD ON THAT. LEARNING AND TEACHING SUPPORT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF LEARNING BY COMMITTING RESOURCES TO OBTAIN EQUITY AND ACCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS. LIFE  READY COMMIT RESOURCES TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE CHILD AND FUTURE READY INITIATIVES. AND LASTLY CULTURE OF COMMUNITIES STRATEGICALLY SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND EXPLORE FINANCIAL RESOURCE OPPORTUNITIES SO THAT THOSE ARE THE BUDGET GOALS JUST TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT THOSE ARE. THE BUDGET DRIVERS AND AGAIN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE LAST MEETING BUT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOING IN OUR FAVOR AS WE GO FROM FISCAL YEAR 18-19 INTO 19-20. OUR ENROLLMENT NUMBERS ARE DOWN ABOUT 900 STUDENTS THE CURRENT YEAR AND WE PROJECT THAT SOMEWHERE FIVE TO SEVEN HUNDRED STUDENTS AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. AGAIN THAT'S THE MAIN REASON IS THE SMALL KINDERGARTEN CLASS THAT'S COMING IN AFTER A LARGE  GRADUATING SENIOR CLASS. OUR PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH. WE'VE GOTTEN PRELIMINARY NUMBERS ON THAT NOW AND WE'RE IN THE UPPER 6 PERCENT RANGE. SO WE WERE AT SIX AND A HALF LAST YEAR WE WERE 8.6  BUT WE'RE WE STILL HAVE LESS GROWTH IN WHAT WE HAD THE PRIOR YEAR AND SO THAT ALWAYS HAS A NEGATIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT. STATE AID IS DOWN IT'S THE IT'S THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM NOW AND SO THE AVAILABLE SCHOOL FUND ALLOTMENT IS DOWN BY ABOUT 10 OR 11 MILLION. AND

[02:10:02]

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE. CURRENT LAW USES PRIOR YEAR CPTD, COMPTROLLER  PROPERTY TAX DIVISION PROPERTY VALUES AND DETERMINATION OF STATE AID AND RECAPTURE A DISTRICT'S WEALTH PER STUDENT IS BASED ON PRIOR YEAR VALUE DIVIDED BY CURRENT YEAR WADA TO DETERMINE IN OUR CASE A CHAPTER FORTY ONE TO DETERMINE THE RECAPTURE PERCENTAGE THAT RECAPTURE PERCENTAGE IS THEN MULTIPLIED TO THE CURRENT YEAR TAX COLLECTIONS TO DETERMINE THE RECAPTURE AMOUNT. SO IT IS AN  IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN RECAPTURE AND SO IF WE WERE USING CURRENT YEAR VALUES OUR WEALTH PER WADA WOULD BE HIGHER IF OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE INCREASING AND THEREFORE OUR RECAPTURE WOULD BE HIGHER. SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH GROWING TAX BASE  BENEFIT FROM USING PRIOR YEAR VALUES AND FORMULAS THAT'S BEEN A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL ON THE SHIFT TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES. SO WE WOULD LOSE THAT BENEFIT. ACTUALLY THE STATE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD THEN BENEFIT SO NOW BIG BENEFIT FROM PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH. NOW UNDER CURRENT YEAR VALUES THEY WOULD JUST BENEFIT MORE QUICKLY AND GET MORE BENEFIT. SO THAT'S THE CHANGE THERE. A SCHOOL DISTRICT BENEFITS ADDITIONALLY WHEN IT'S PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH PERCENTAGE IS GREATER THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT OURS IS LESS AND SO THAT HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT. SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF THE LAG IN USING PRIOR YEAR VALUES AND PLAN FOR FUTURE YEARS  FINANCIAL IMPACT OF FLATTENING VALUE GROWTH AND AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OUR FUND BALANCE REQUIREMENTS WE GOT SOME NEW BOARD MEMBERS HERE TONIGHT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THIS BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW IT COULD BE UP TO 40 MILLION DOLLAR HIT IN  THE YEAR THAT OUR VALUES GO FLAT. AND SO AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OUR FUND BALANCE  REQUIREMENTS WITH SOMEWHAT DESIGNATED OR UNOFFICIAL DESIGNATED AN AMOUNT THAT ARE EARMARKED AMOUNTS FOR THAT SITUATION. THE THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT'S NOT JUST A ONE YEAR HIT THOUGH IT'S AN EVERY YEAR HIT. AND SO IF IT HITS US FOR LET'S SAY THIRTY FIVE MILLION THAT VALUES WENT FLAT AND THEY STAYED FLAT IT WOULD CONTINUE TO HURT US FOR 30 TO 40 MILLION PER YEAR UNTIL THEY BEGIN TO RISE AGAIN USING CURRENT YEAR, USING PRIOR YEAR VALUES. AND THE SAME IS TRUE THAT IF YOU GO TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES THAT'S AN EVERY YEAR. SO IF WE LOSE 30 TO 40 MILLION WE WOULD ALSO LOSE THAT GOING TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES IF ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FORMULA STAYED THE SAME. PROPOSAL UNDER CURRENT LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS TO MOVE THE CURRENT YEAR VALUES. THAT'S WHAT THE SENATE VERSION WAS. THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HEARING WAS GAINING MOMENTUM ON THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. WE'RE REALLY NOT SURE IT'S ALL BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THIS

[02:15:02]

[02:20:03]

RECAPTURE IS UP $47 MILLION. SO THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EVEN THOUGH TAX COLLECTIONS WERE UP JUST UNDER THIRTY SEVEN RECAPTURES UP OVER FORTY SEVEN. SO THAT'S A 10 MILLION DOLLAR NET LOSS. AND THEN WE GO ON DOWN. SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET COLUMN WE'RE STILL SITTING AT ABOUT A 33 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT BUDGET. SO THAT NUMBER IS REALLY STAYED RIGHT IN THE 33 34 RANGE THROUGH THIS PROCESS. ANY QUESTIONS ON GENERAL FUND? CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THEN. CAN YOU PULL IT OUT. OK. SO THIS IS THE DEBT SERVICE FUND AND AGAIN WE WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL WE HAVE THE AMENDED AND WE HAVE THE PRELIMINARY WE'RE PROJECTING TOTAL REVENUES ABOUT 7.8 MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE THAT IS KEEPING THE SAME PROPOSED TAX RATE IN 26.9 CENTS BUT ON A HIGHER TAX BASE. THE EXPENDITURES I'M SORRY. THAT WAS ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO MILLION 344 BUT THE ADDITIONAL $7.8 MILLION AND THE EXPENDITURES WE'RE PROJECTING ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO MILLION AND THAT'S ABOUT A FIVE MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE. SO WHEN THE LAST BOND WAS PLANNED WE DID HAVE ESCALATING DEBT PAYMENTS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WAS TO TRY TO KEEP THE TAX RATE THE SAME ASSUMING SOME PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH. AND SO THOSE THOSE LADDERED UP FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS THERE AND THEN WE'VE ALSO BUILT IN A NEW ISSUE THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE DOLLAR AMOUNT PROBABLY 20 MILLION OR SO THAT WE'LL ISSUE ON THE 2016 BOND. AND SO WE'VE FIGURED IN A FIRST DEBT PAYMENT ON THAT ONE AS WELL. SO ANYWAY THE TOTAL APPROPRIATION CHANGE WOULD BE THE JUST OVER FIVE MILLION AND THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SET A POSITIVE BUDGET OF ABOUT 2.8 RIGHT NOW. OKAY AND THEN WE MOVE INTO FOOD SERVICE. SO THESE ARE THE THREE BUDGETS THAT THE BOARD HAS TO ADOPT [INAUDIBLE] MEMBERS SO ITS GENERAL FUND ITS DEBT SERVICE FUND AND ITS FOOD SERVICE FUND.

FOOD SERVICE HAS A TOTAL INCREASE IN REVENUE OF ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY SIX THOUSAND. A DECREASE IN EXPENDITURES OF FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE THOUSAND. AND THEY HAVE A BUDGET. I'M SORRY THEY HAVE A BUDGETED DEFICIT OF ABOUT $2.1 MILLION. THEY DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT FUND BALANCE IN THAT FUND. AND SO WE DO HAVE SOME FOOD SERVICE FUND BALANCE THAT WE CAN SPEND AND NEED TO SPEND BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY OVER THE TEA LIMIT. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS? I DON'T KNOW THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT. AND CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE REGULAR BUDGET WHAT'S THE FUND BALANCE DID YOU SAY WHAT IT WAS AND I MISSED IT. WHAT'S IN OUR FUND BALANCE. SO THE CURRENT YEAR IS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO MILLION IS WHAT WE ENDED THE PREVIOUS YEAR WITH.

AND WE WILL TAKE THAT THIRTY THREE DEFICIT FROM THAT FUND BALANCE. YEAH IF WE DON'T GET ANY LEGISLATIVE HELP THEN YES IN OUR ACTUALS CAME OUT WITH WHAT THE BUDGET WAS THEN YES THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF THAT FUND BALANCE. WELL I MEAN THE PRACTICAL IMPLICATION OF THIS IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME LEGISLATIVE HELP IN SOME FORM OR FASHION IT'S JUST PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH. AND THEN WHEN THEY GO TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HIT WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COVER WITH FUND BALANCE. SO WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT 30, 40 MILLION DOLLARS COMING OUT OF FUND BALANCE RIGHT. IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS. IF WE IF THEY ADOPTED THE SENATE PLAN YES IT WOULD BE PRETTY CLOSE TO THIS NUMBER. AND WE REALLY WOULDN'T GET ANY LEGISLATIVE HELP WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR FINANCIALS ON THE SENATE PLAN. RANDY, JUST IN TERMS OF THEORY FOR IF WE DID MOVE TO CURRENT YEAR VALUE AND WE HAVE THIS IMPACT AT WHAT POINT EVER DOES CURRENT YEAR VALUE BECOME A BENEFIT? THE ONLY TIME IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO A SCHOOL IS IF YOUR VALUES DECREASE. SO ONLY IF PLANO AND TEXAS IS GOING DOWNWARDS. THAT'S RIGHT. DOING VERY POORLY ECONOMICALLY WILL OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT BENEFIT FROM THAT. YES THAT'S CORRECT. GOOD TO KNOW. THE MOVE TO CURRENT YEAR VALUES IS A IT'S A MONEY GRAB AND IT ONLY IMPACTS AREAS WHERE YOUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE INCREASING. SO ESSENTIALLY THE STATE IS PUNISHING THOSE AREAS THAT ARE DOING WELL. BUT THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S A TRADITION. AND THEY SEEM TO BE PROUD OF. BUT THE SENATE BILL WITH THE SALARY MANDATE IS A MANDATE

[02:25:08]

SO WE'VE GOT GOOD SOUND FINANCIAL ADVICE AND WE'VE PLANNED FOR THIS EVENTUALITY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NUMBERS ARE GROWING SO LARGE IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE LONG FOR US TO RUN OUT OF FUND BALANCE. WE ONLY HAVE ENOUGH OXYGEN. YEAH.

WELL THERE AGAIN I THINK IT GOES BACK TO IF WE GET THE SENATE VERSION THE HOUSE VERSION OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN BECAUSE THERE'S VAST DIFFERENCES IN OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE UNDER THE HOUSE VERSION VERSUS THE SENATE. I MEAN HONESTLY THE HOUSE VERSION WOULD PROBABLY BALANCE THE BUDGET AND BE ABLE TO GIVE A 2 PERCENT OR 3 PERCENT OR WHATEVER ALL STAFF INCREASE WHERE THE SENATE WE WOULD BE NO BETTER OFF OR WORSE THAN A 33 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT. SO YEAH MEAN IT'S AT 30 TO PLANO FOR NEXT YEAR IT COULD BE A 30 TO 40 MILLION DOLLAR DIFFERENCE IN OUR BUDGET DEPENDING ON THE HOUSE VERSION VERSUS THE SENATE. IT'S HUGE. AND CERTAINLY WE DO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. IN 2010, 2011 WHEN THEY HAD THE COMPRESSED TAX RATE WE LAID OFF HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS, WE CUT PROGRAMS. IT'S NOTHING YOU WISH TO DO. IT ALL GETS BACK TO SMART ALLOCATION OF WHAT YOU'VE GOT. YOU PUT IT TO WORK IN THE VERY BEST WAY THAT YOU CAN. ANY OTHER CHEERFUL QUESTIONS. YES SORRY IT'S SO NEGATIVE. BUT ONE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SARA AND I  [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT BUT IF YOU GO BACK TO YOUR GENERAL FUND PAGE AND JUST LOOK AT THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE CATEGORIES THAT IF YOU HAD TO REDUCE 30 TO 40 MILLION PICK SOME OF THOSE CATEGORIES AND JUST SAY IF WE DID AWAY WITH ALL OF THIS IT DOESN'T GET US THERE AND I DON'T WANT TO POINT THOSE OUT BUT YOU I MEAN YOU CAN PICK CATEGORIES HERE AND SEE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO ACTUALLY REDUCE 30 TO 40 MILLION OUT OF THIS BUDGET. WE COULD STOP PAYING THE ELECTRIC BILL. I SUGGEST WE DON'T PAY LINE  ITEM 91. I SECOND THAT. RECAPTURE. YEAH YEAH. OK. WELL WE WILL. WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS BUDGET. SO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING IS JUNE 25TH. WE WILL BRING A BUDGET FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THAT NIGHT.  AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE

[02:30:05]

[02:35:06]

WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. SO WE'LL WAIT AND WATCH. IF THEY CAN'T REACH AGREEMENT BY THIS FRIDAY THEN WE SUSPECT THAT WILL GO INTO SPECIAL SESSION. WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED. SARA. I'D JUST LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS ENDEAVOR THAT COULD NOT HAVE COME OUT THAT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO OUR KIDS AND TO THIS PROCESS. AND SO I HOPE THAT THIS BOARD CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THOSE EFFORTS. THOSE TYPES OF EFFORTS BECAUSE THERE ARE TIMES AS YOU MENTIONED WHEN WE NEED TO PLAY NICE AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE NEED TO NOT PLAY NICE AND OUR JOB AT THIS TABLE IS TO PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF PLANO ISD AND NOT NECESSARILY WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE REST OF THE STATE. I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER BILL THAT WE WERE WATCHING AND I THINK THAT IT FAILED AND WE WERE HAPPY. SENATE BILL 29 WHICH WOULD HAVE STIFLED SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND TRUSTEES FROM ADVOCATING FOR LEGISLATIVE PURPOSES. AND THAT BILL DID NOT SUCCEED. SO I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT. EVERYONE IS. AND THEN LASTLY I MADE MY MY PHONE CALLS TO BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE COMMITTEE AND PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. [INAUDIBLE] BUT THE MORE PHONE CALLS THEY GET THE BETTER OFF IT IS. SO ALL OF US THAT CAN MAKE THAT I ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO MAKE THOSE PHONE CALLS. AND ANYONE CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND CLICK THE LINK THERE. AND YOU KNOW I SAID THIS IN THE VIDEO AND I SAID AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE WE CAN'T TELL PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL BUT WE CAN GIVE THEM THE FACTS AND THEN THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY AS THEY SEE FIT. AND WE'VE JUST MADE IT CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS. SO VISIT THE WEB PAGE. SARA, ONE MORE COMMENT. WE DID GET SOME GOOD NEWS LAST WEEK. THE STATE COMPTORLLER

[02:40:04]

[A. To ensure efficient use of financial resources and budgeting. 1. Consider Board authorization of the Advertisement of Notice of Public Meeting to Discuss Budget and Proposed Tax Rate. Presenter: Randy McDowell, Chief Financial Officer Time: 10 minutes]

SO THE CURRENT YEAR OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX IS A DOLLAR SEVENTEEN. NOW THIS WILL LIKELY BE COMPRESSED AFTER THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. BUT AT THIS TIME WE HAVE TO GO OFF CURRENT LAW. WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO KEEP THAT SAME TAX RATE FOR NEXT YEAR. THE INTEREST IN SINKING THE DEBT SERVICE TAX IS 26.9 CENTS. WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO KEEP THAT RATE AS WELL IN THE TOTAL TAX RATE AS A $1.439. SO THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE NOW ARE OFF THE ACTUAL TAX NOTICE IN THEIR CALCULATIONS THAT OCCUR FROM A TEA TEMPLATE THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO USE. SO YOU CAN SEE LAST YEAR'S RATE THE RATE TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF REVENUE AND PAY DEBT WOULD BE JUST OVER A $1.19. THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS BECAUSE OUR RECAPTURE IS GOING UP MORE THAN OUR TAX COLLECTIONS. OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T GO THERE.

WE'RE CAPPED AT A $1.17. AND THE INS RATE WOULD HAVE TO GO JUST OVER TWENTY SEVEN CENTS. THE ROLLBACK RATES THAT WE CAN'T EXCEED WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL OF COURSE WE'RE CAPPED AT $1.17 ON MNO AND THE INS IS TWENTY SIX POINT NINE BECAUSE THAT'S THE RATE THAT CALCULATES TO MAKE THE DEBT PAYMENTS WITH THE GROWTH IN VALUE AND THE INCREASE DEBT PAYMENTS. SO OUR ROLLBACK OUR TOTAL ROLLBACK RATE IS A $1.439 WHICH IS THE SAME AS OUR PROPOSED RATE. PROPERTY TAX RATE HISTORY. WE HAVE BEEN AT A $1.439  FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS AND IF WE ADOPT THAT AGAIN FOR THE COMING YEAR THAT WOULD BE FIVE IN A ROW THAT'S ACTUALLY DOWN FROM THE COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE THAT. AND OUR TOTAL APPRAISED VALUE ARE CERTIFIED VALUE THAT HAS CONTINUED TO AMEND THROUGH THE YEAR IS $62.78 BILLION AND THAT'S WHAT THE TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE AFTER EXEMPTIONS AND ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS OF JUST RIGHT AT $55.5 BILLION. THE CURRENT TAX YEAR THE FOR THE COMING YEAR OUR CURRENT PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES ARE $69.88 BILLION AND THEN TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE OF $59.3 BILLION. WE'VE GOT A HISTORY HERE. IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT THE TAXES ON THE AVERAGE RESIDENTS HAVE CONTINUED TO CLIMB. THAT'S NOT BECAUSE OF TAX RATE THAT IS LOT MORE SO JUST BECAUSE THE RISE IN THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT TAXPARENCY AND SEE THE BREAKDOWN SO GOING BACK TO 2014 OF THE TOTAL TAX BILL ON THE AVERAGE HOME, THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE OF THAT STAYED IN THE DISTRICT AS EITHER  MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OR DEBT SERVICE AND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE DOLLARS OF THAT TAX BILL WENT TO THE STATE. THE CURRENT YEAR THAT'S THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE STAYS IN THE DISTRICT AND ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE GOES TO THE STATE AND NEXT YEAR THAT'S PROJECTED TO BE THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO DOLLARS WOULD STAY IN THE DISTRICT AND TWO THOUSAND SIXTY EIGHT DOLLARS WOULD GO TO THE STATE.

AND AGAIN THAT'S COMBINING MNO AND INS TAX RATES. THE BUDGET CALENDAR AND TAX RATE. SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE WE TALKED ABOUT JUNE 25TH IS WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO ADOPT THE BUDGET AND HAVE THE BUDGET HEARING. JULY 25TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR US TO RECEIVE THE FINAL CERTIFIED VALUES FROM COLLIN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. IN SEPTEMBER WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT ISSUING NEW BONDS AGAIN ON THE 2016 BOND REFERENDUM AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER ALSO DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER OR MAYBE WE CAN EVEN DO IN AUGUST BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO ADOPT THE TAX RATES. SO WE DO

[02:45:04]

RANDY I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. WELL FIRST AS A COMMENT BECAUSE THIS NOTICE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AMENDED WITH TAXPARENCY  BECAUSE IT DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OUR CHAPTER 42 OUR I MEAN 41 EXCUSE ME OUR RECAPTURE. SO YOU OUR RATE TO MAINTAIN IT GOES UP BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF OUR RECAPTURE PAYMENT. SO THAT'S JUST MY COMMENTARY THAT OUR TAXPARENCY EFFORTS HAVE TRIED TO GET IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PUBLICATIONS THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO CREATE. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE BACK SIDE THE COMPARISON OF PROPOSED RATES WITH LAST YEAR'S RATES. THERE'S LAST YEAR'S RATE WHICH IS A  $1.17. AND IF WE GO BACK ANOTHER FOUR YEARS IT'S STILL A $1.17 FOR MNO AND ALSO  .269 OR ABOUT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATE REVENUE PER STUDENT THERE THAT'S SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT DOLLARS FROM LAST YEAR. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND ON THE PROPOSED RATE WHICH THE RATE HASN'T CHANGED. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE STATE REVENUE PER STUDENT GOING DOWN TO 453 FROM THE 778. YES. SO THAT'S THAT IMPACTED THE AVAILABLE SCHOOL FUND BEING LESS IN IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BIENNIUM. SO THAT ELEVEN MILLION DOLLAR ROUGHLY THAT WE'RE LOSING IS IS WHAT IS CALCULATING THAT STATE REVENUE PER STUDENT. AND ALSO ON THE DEBT SERVICE. I JUST WANT TO I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME NEW MEMBERS ON THE BOARD THAT MAYBE DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE BUT IN 2015-16 REGARDING DEBT WE REFUND 342 MILLION DOLLARS OF BONDS THAT WERE ISSUED IN 2006-2008 AND SAVED $77.6 MILLION OR 16 PERCENT. SO FUTURE PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT DOWN BECAUSE OF THAT REFUNDING AND I KNOW THAT IN 2016 THE DISTRICT ISSUED 300 MILLION OF THE NEW BONDS AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A VERY VERY LOW INTEREST RATE AND THE ALL INCLUSIVE TRUE INTEREST RATE COST ON THOSE WAS 2.24 PERCENT AND

[02:50:04]

OKAY. SO HERE'S THE POINT I'M MAKING IS THAT IF WE'RE AT 240 NOW IT DOESN'T AND WE START PAYING OUT A FUND BALANCE AT 30 MILLION DOLLAR CHUNKS IT DOESN'T TAKE US LONG BEFORE WE GET BELOW THIS NUMBER. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GET BELOW THAT NUMBER? DOES THAT DOES THAT IMPACT OUR BOND RATING? YES IT COULD. IT WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON BOND RATING. [INAUDIBLE] THAT AND AT SOME POINT IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CASH IN INVESTMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO BORROW MONEY EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAVE A POSITIVE FUND BALANCE FOR AT LEAST A TIME PERIOD AFTER THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO BORROW MONEY IN ORDER TO MAKE PAYROLL. RANDY,  THE NEW BONDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER. THOSE ALREADY FACTORED INTO THAT 855. NO THE 855 IS WHAT WAS CURRENTLY ISSUED [INAUDIBLE].  CURRENTLY ISSUED [INAUDIBLE].

ASIDE FROM THAT 20 OR INCLUDING THAT 20 HOW MUCH IN UNISSUED BONDS DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE FROM THE 2016 BOND ISSUANCE? THERE'S ABOUT 60 SOMETHING MILLION I BELIEVE. OKAY SO A MAJORITY OF THE BONDS HAVE BEEN. THE MAJORITY HAVE BEEN ISSUED. YES.

SO WE'D NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT. RIGHT. SO MAY I HAVE A MOTION. I'LL DO  IT. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUTHORIZES THE ADMINISTRATION TO ADVERTISE THE ATTACH NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS BUDGET AND TAX RATE TO BE HELD ON JUNE 25TH AT 7 P.M. WHICH INCLUDES PROPOSED TAX RATES CONSISTING OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS 1.170 OR $1.17, INTERESTS IN SINKING AT .269 DOLLARS AND TOTAL PROPOSED TAX RATE OF $1.439. IS THERE A SECOND. I SECOND.
