AND STUDENTS, IF YOU'LL TELL YOUR NAME AND WHAT GRADE YOU'RE IN.

AND IF YOU'RE A SENIOR, WHERE YOU PLAN ON GOING TO COLLEGE.

SURE, THAT MAKES IT EASIER.

OKAY. I HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING.

I'M OKAY IN MY CLASSROOM.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT.

SO I'M GOING TO PASS THIS MIC ON TO ALL OF MY KIDS WHERE THEY CAN INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO YOU, AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEMSELVES. I'M RUTHIE AND I'M A SOPHOMORE.

[00:15:08]

I'M AVERY AND I'M A SENIOR.

I'M [INAUDIBLE]. I'M A JUNIOR.

I'M CODY AND I'M A SENIOR.

I'M VALERIE SANCHEZ AND I'M A SENIOR.

I'M ISABELLA, AND I'M A FRESHMAN.

HI. I'M PAVANI, AND I'M A SOPHOMORE.

I'M [INAUDIBLE], AND I'M A SOPHOMORE.

I'M [INAUDIBLE] AND I'M A FRESHMAN.

I'M BEN, AND I'M A SOPHOMORE.

I'M [INAUDIBLE], I'M A JUNIOR.

I'M STACY, I'M A SOPHOMORE.

I'M JUSTIN, I'M A FRESHMAN.

I'M SANJANA, I'M A SOPHOMORE.

I'M EMMA, I'M A JUNIOR.

AND I'M ALMOST READY TO RETIRE.

I DON'T THINK THEY BELIEVE ME, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.

IT'S SPECIAL FOR THE KIDS TO BE RECOGNIZED.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PISD HAS REALLY DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THE LAST HOWEVER LONG WE STARTED DOING THIS.

BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A LONG TIME, DIDN'T GET A LOT OF STUFF LIKE THIS.

AND SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND WE DO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US UP HERE AND DOING THIS KIND OF STUFF.

PARENTS, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR YOUR KIDS.

IT MEANS A LOT TO THEM.

AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS SAY IT.

BUT IT DOES.

AND, DON'T EVER THINK FOR A SECOND IT DOESN'T, BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES TO THEM.

THEY JUST DON'T SAY IT LIKE THEY NEED TO.

I KNOW THAT I WAS BAD ABOUT THAT AS A KID, AND I LOVE BEING THERE FOR MY BOYS WHENEVER THEY'RE INVOLVED AND STUFF.

AND SO I KNOW THAT IT'S FUN FOR Y'ALL TO BE HERE AS WELL, AND THEY DO APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

COACH BEFORE YOU GO TOO FAR.

COACH, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE SPEAKING, BUT WOULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT WHAT YOU SHARED WITH ME ABOUT THE T-SHIRTS? BECAUSE THAT'S A COOL TRADITION.

I MENTIONED I WAS CLOSE TO RETIREMENT, RIGHT? OKAY, SO, THIS PARTICULAR SHIRT THAT WE HAVE, WE'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT T-SHIRT DESIGNS THAT WE WEAR, AND WE WEAR THEM IN BLUE, BLACK AND WHITE. WE'RE NOT QUITE LIKE OREGON FOOTBALL, BUT PRETTY CLOSE TO IT, I GUESS, AS FAR AS HOW MANY COMBINATIONS WE CAN PULL OUT THERE.

BUT THIS PARTICULAR SHIRT, THE ONLY TIME THESE KIDS GET TO WEAR THIS PARTICULAR SHIRT IS IF THEY ARE PLAYING IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN TEAM TENNIS IN THE FALL. NO OTHER POINT DURING THE FALL SEASON IS THIS SHIRT EVER PULLED OUT OF THE CLOSET.

IT'S SAVED BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL SHIRT.

IN THE SPRING.

THEY CAN WEAR IT A LITTLE MORE OFTEN, BUT AS FAR AS TEAM TENNIS IN THE FALL, THEY KNOW THAT IF THEY WANT TO WEAR THIS SHIRT, THEY'VE GOT TO GET TO THE STATE FINALS.

AND SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF DANGLING THE CARROT IN FRONT OF THE NOSE KIND OF THING.

BUT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WEAR THIS SHIRT A LOT OVER THE YEARS.

SO IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN AND JUST IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO THEM.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY PROGRAM, YOU'VE GOT SOME GOALS THAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE, YOU'VE GOT SOME MOTIVATION THAT YOU WANT TO USE.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES WE DO.

THE SLEEVES? OKAY. TURN SIDEWAYS THERE, RUTH.

THERE YOU GO. I KNOW THIS IS KIND OF HARD FOR YOU ALL TO SEE THERE, BUT THERE'S A PURPLE PATCH THAT'S ON EVERY ONE OF OUR SHIRTS, AND IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT, GOSH, ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO, I HAD A MEMBER OF MY TENNIS TEAM WHOSE FATHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PANCREATIC CANCER.

AND FOR THOSE OF Y'ALL THAT HAVE ANY KIND OF AWARENESS OF THAT, USUALLY WHEN THAT DIAGNOSIS IS MADE, IT'S KIND OF LATE.

VERY OFTEN IT'S STAGE THREE, STAGE FOUR, AND IT'S USUALLY A DEATH SENTENCE.

AND SO THIS YOUNG MAN WAS A FRESHMAN ON MY TEAM WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AND HE HAPPENED TO BE AN ONLY CHILD AS WELL.

AND SO I GOT TOGETHER WITH A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE THAT I KNEW, AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE COULD BEST SUPPORT THE FAMILY, AND SO WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE PANCREATIC CANCER ACTION NETWORK OUT IN LOS ANGELES, AND I KIND OF TOLD THEM THE STORY AND ASKED THEM IF WE COULD USE THEIR LOGO ON ALL OF OUR T SHIRTS AND IF WE COULD SELL PURPLE SHIRTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO PURPLE IS THE COLOR FOR PANCREATIC CANCER, IF YOU WEREN'T AWARE, AND THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET US DO THAT.

AND SO EVERY YEAR SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE STILL CONTINUED TO MAKE DONATIONS TO PANCREATIC CANCER ACTION NETWORK AND ALL THEIR RESEARCH.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS LONG AS I'M COACHING.

IF I EVER LEAVE PLANO AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER CAUSE THAT WE ATTACK AT THAT POINT.

BUT, I'VE CHALLENGED A LOT OF COACHES OVER THE YEARS HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR BESIDES JUST THE TEAM AND JUST WINNING.

[00:20:06]

AND FOR US HERE AT PLANO WEST ON THE TENNIS TEAM, THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

SO THAT PARTICULAR SLEEVE, LESS SERIOUS.

[INAUDIBLE] THERE YOU GO.

SHE JUST HAD SHOULDER SURGERY, SO I'M KIND OF JUST MOVING HER AROUND A LITTLE BIT THERE.

THE TBC. THAT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.

TO BE CONTINUED, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WHEN THE KIDS PUT THAT ON THERE AND THEY SEE THAT ON THEIR SLEEVE, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PLAYING FOR.

THEY KNOW THAT WHAT'S EXPECTED OF THEM, THEY KNOW WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE.

GOOD FRIEND OF MINE USED TO BE THE COACH AT LUBBOCK.

CORONADO. HE'S NOW LOVEJOY NOW.

DID YOU KNOW DAVID DENHAM WHEN YOU WERE IN LUBBOCK? OKAY, SO DAVID DENHAM IS AT LUBBOCK, OR HE WAS AT LUBBOCK.

CORONADO. AND HE WOULD ALWAYS TEASE ME THAT THAT MEANT TO BEAT CORONADO.

NOT UNTIL I HAD TO EXPLAIN IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

HE STILL GIVES ME A HARD TIME ABOUT THAT ONE.

THE STARS ABOVE THE TBC, ONE OF THOSE.

EACH STAR REPRESENTS ONE OF OUR STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND TEAM TENNIS.

SO ALL OF OUR SHIRTS HAVE THE SLEEVES.

THE DESIGNS ON THE FRONT ARE DIFFERENT.

AND OF COURSE, THIS PARTICULAR SHIRT'S GOT A BIG WOLF HEAD ON THE BACK, JUST IN CASE PEOPLE FORGET WHAT OUR MASCOT IS.

SO, YOU'RE WELCOME.

ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE.

AND I INVITE BOARD MEMBERS TO COMMENT IF THEY HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

I LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT.

I FIGURED YOU WOULD BE IN A TENNIS MOM.

I AM A TENNIS MOM BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER AT [INAUDIBLE] WHO PLAYS TENNIS AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU PRACTICE, ALL OF YOU RIGHT HERE, ALL YOUR PLAYERS.

YOU PRACTICE EVERY DAY, YOU PRACTICE ON WEEKENDS, YOU PRACTICE PRETTY MUCH CONSISTENTLY TO WIN OUR TOURNAMENTS.

AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OUR COACHES TO OUR TENNIS COACHES HERE, WORK SO HARD BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO DRIVE THE BUSSES TO THE TOURNAMENTS.

THEY STAY AT THE GAMES UNTIL IT'S OVER, AND THEY DRIVE THOSE BUSSES HOME LATE TO BACK TON THE SCHOOL.

AND THEN YOUR PARENTS, I KNOW BECAUSE I'M A TENNIS PLAYER PARENT AND I KNOW THAT PARENTS, YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU GET THAT TEXT MESSAGE OR THAT PHONE CALL AND SAYS, MOM, DAD, COME PICK ME UP FROM SCHOOL.

SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW THAT EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM WHO ARE STANDING IN FRONT, ALL OF YOU PLAYERS, ARE INCREDIBLY DEDICATED TO WINNING AND TO BEING SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR CLASSES.

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING PLANO ISD PROUD.

ALL RIGHT. I THOUGHT I SAW JERI GOING FOR A MIC, BUT NO.

I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOU GUYS.

AND I KNOW THAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE A FORMIDABLE TEAM IN THE YEARS COMING, BECAUSE I HEARD FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR.

SO THAT'S AMAZING.

COACH WALKER, YOU MIGHT NOT THINK YOU'RE A GOOD PUBLIC SPEAKER, BUT YOU JUST PROVED YOURSELF WRONG.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHO IS.

BUT ANYWAY, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU GUYS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BACK HERE IN THE BOARDROOM NEXT YEAR.

DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

I KNOW IT'S A SPECIAL EVENING FOR YOU GUYS TO GET HERE.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE MORE VERY SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO SHARE THIS EVENING.

AND THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR OWN PLANO ISD SUPERINTENDENT, DOCTOR THERESA WILLIAMS, FOR HER RECENT GRADUATION FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM AT THE HOLDSWORTH CENTER IN AUSTIN.

I WAS TRYING TO SURPRISE YOU, BUT I THINK I SCREWED IT UP YESTERDAY.

UM, THIS 18 MONTH PROGRAM IS A COHORT OF SCHOOL LEADERS WHO ARE IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF THEIR SUPERINTENDENCY, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THEM THROUGH EXECUTIVE COACHING, TAILORED INSTRUCTION AND COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION, ULTIMATELY STRENGTHENING THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PIPELINE STATEWIDE.

THE HOLDSWORTH CENTER IS AN AMAZING RESOURCE, AND DOCTOR ART CAVAZOS, SUPERINTENDENT IN RESIDENCE FOR THE HOLDSWORTH CENTER, SHARED A FEW REMARKS WITH ME TODAY AND HE WAS ON A CRUISE, SO IT WAS REALLY NICE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FOR US.

WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO READ ALOUD NOW.

AND THIS IS DOCTOR CAVAZOS STATEMENT.

I WAS AFFORDED THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS DOCTOR WILLIAMS EXECUTIVE COACH FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS.

SHE JOINED THE PROGRAM WITH A GROWTH MINDSET AND TRULY COMMITTED TO LEARNING AND EXPANDING HER LEADERSHIP SKILLS.

AS THE NEWLY APPOINTED SUPERINTENDENT OF YOUR AMAZING PLANO ISD, SHE WELCOMED EVERY LEARNING OPPORTUNITY ON CAMPUS AND OUR COACHING SESSIONS WITH

[00:25:09]

HER COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, COUPLED WITH A HEART FOR PEOPLE, PLACES HER IN A CATEGORY OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL LEADERS.

EVEN DURING HER SON'S TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND RECOVERY, DR.

WILLIAMS REMAINED FOCUSED ON LEARNING AS HER PASSION REMAINED TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF HERSELF AS THE SUPERINTENDENT.

HER ABILITY TO LEAD DURING THE LAST PLANO ISD BOND ELECTION, AND HER CONTINUED WORK AROUND STRATEGIC PLANNING TO INCLUDE LONG TERME FACILITY PLANNING IS A TESTAMENT TO HER DEDICATION, PERSEVERANCE, OVERALL COMMITMENT TO THE PLANO ISD SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

SHE RECOGNIZES THE VALUE OF THE TEAM OF EIGHT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LEADING OTHERS.

I REMAIN VERY PROUD OF DOCTOR WILLIAMS AND WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST.

SO THAT'S FROM DOCTOR CAVAZOS, AND I KNOW THAT MY FELLOW TRUSTEES AND I ALL AGREE THAT DOCTOR WILLIAMS IS ONE OF THE ONE OF A KIND FIRST RATE.

WE ALL VALUE AND APPRECIATE HER TREMENDOUS LEADERSHIP IN PLANO ISD.

I PERSONALLY COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF HER ACHIEVEMENT AT HOLDSWORTH, AND AM EXCITED TO HONOR HER THIS EVENING.

AND DOCTOR WILLIAMS, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR GRADUATION AND EXTEND OUR VERY BEST WISHES TO YOU ON THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT.

YOU MAKE US SO VERY PLANO ISD PROUD.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, I'M GOING TO LET, MY FELLOW TRUSTEES.

DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE STEP DOWN? WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PHOTO DOWN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO JUMP IN WITH? I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT, BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT YOU AS A SUPERINTENDENT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I CHOSE TO SERVE ON THIS SCHOOL BOARD.

AND SO I SO APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION TO OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. WE ARE A LEARNING INSTITUTION.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

AND SO FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO, TAKE A TIME WHEN YOU ARE DRINKING THROUGH A FIRE HOSE ALL THE TIME AND TO TAKE TIME TO STOP SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN AND GROW AND BECOME BETTER IS A VERY ADMIRABLE AND A GREAT MODEL TO OUR STAFF, TO OUR TEACHERS, TO OUR STUDENTS, AND TO A COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT LIFELONG LEARNING IS NOT SOMETHING THAT EVER STOPS.

AND WE ARE, GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU, BEING THAT GROWTH MINDSET LEADER FOR ALL OF US TO EMULATE.

THANK YOU. I'LL FOLLOW UP ON JERI'S COMMENT AND JUST SAY, I THINK THAT THE GROWTH MINDSET IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AND KEY, AND YOU DON'T VERY OFTEN FIND LEADERS OF AN ORGANIZATION AS LARGE AS OURS THAT TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND LISTEN TO THE KIDS AND STOP AND LISTEN TO THE STAFF AND STOP AND LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STOP AND LISTEN TO OUR PARENTS.

AND I THINK THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I APPRECIATE MOST ABOUT YOU AS OUR SUPERINTENDENT, AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'VE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR HOLDSWORTH AND HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION, TO BE A STRONGER LEADER AND BRING THOSE LEARNINGS BACK TO OUR DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL JUST SAY ONE QUICK THING.

THIS MORNING, WE HAD THE GROUNDBREAKING FOR THE PLANO OR THE WEST, WRAPAROUND SERVICES, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS.

SO IT'S JUST SO MUCH THERESA, BECAUSE HERE WE ARE TAKING PICTURES WITH THE SHOVELS AND THE HARD HATS AND EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE DALLAS CITY COUNCILWOMAN, WE HAD THE PLANO MAYOR, ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS, PHOTOS AND PEOPLE WERE COMING UP AND TRADING PLACES AND AND AT THE END SHE SAYS, OKAY, COMMUNICATIONS, WE NEED A PHOTO.

AND WE DRAGGED ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TAKING THE PHOTOS, AND SHE GRABBED THE CAMERA TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM.

SO SHE ALWAYS THINKS OF THE LITTLE THINGS.

SO WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU.

[INAUDIBLE]

[00:30:02]

THERE YOU GO. PERFECT.

[INAUDIBLE] ONE.

TWO. THREE.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR BOARD RECOGNITIONS OF THE EVENING.

DO YOU WANT A WARNING AT THE ONE MINUTE MARK THAT YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT? WILL THE TIME BE DISPLAYED? OH RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. YEAH. DO YOU WANT A WARNING? ARE YOU GOOD? I'M GOOD.

OKAY. THANK YOU SIR.

TODAY I CAME TO SPEAK ABOUT HOW I THINK THE PLANO, SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF MUSLIM FAITH AND WHO ARE ARAB IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

I JUST HEARD FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS WEEK, WHO IS PART OF THE PISD AND COLLIN COLLEGE COLLABORATION.

AND SHE, WHILE IN THIS CLASS WAS, PART, WITNESSED A PRESENTATION IN WHICH THE KEFFIYEH WAS EQUATED WITH TERRORISM. AND AFTER CLASS WHEN SHE WENT UP TO THE TEACHER TO TO ASK, WELL, YOU KNOW, THE KEFFIYEH, MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE WEARING IT, AND IT'S NOT ASSOCIATED WITH TERRORISM.

HOW CAN YOU, YOU KNOW, NOT CORRECT THIS KIND OF PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, AND AND THE PERSON I SPOKE TO HERSELF WORE THE KEFFIYEH, EARLIER.

SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OF MUSLIM FAITH IN THE PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY, ARE, YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS OF KIDS ARE ATTENDING SCHOOLS AND THEY FEEL LIKE, THEY ARE PART OF THIS MOVEMENT AROUND THE, AROUND THE COUNTRY OF KIND OF ISLAMOPHOBIC, ANTI-ARAB ATMOSPHERE.

SO I THINK IN THIS CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO SPEAK OUT BOTH AGAINST RISING ANTI-SEMITISM AND RISING ISLAMOPHOBIA.

SO I HOPE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO PRESENT.

IT'S A SECURITY MATTER.

MANY STUDENTS FEEL ENDANGERED, FEEL THREATENED.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

I'LL REMIND THOSE IN THE ROOM THAT WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO APPLAUD.

THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC INPUT SESSION.

SO. PLEASE.

NO APPLAUSE MOHAMMED AL-KURDI, PLANO ISD PARENT.

AGENDA ITEM 5.2.

STUDENT SECURITY.

SIR, DO YOU WANT THE ONE MINUTE WARNING OR ARE YOU GOOD? I'M GOOD. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME SPEAK IN FRONT OF THIS, GREAT, ACADEMIC INSTITUTION AS A PLANO ISD. I JUST WANTED TO.

LET YOU FEEL WHAT MY DAUGHTER FELT IN PLANO ISD SCHOOL.

A STUDENT IN ONE OF THE CLASS, HAD AN ASSIGNMENT AND PRESENTED AN ISSUE WHEN FELT NEEDED ATTENTION IN THE US ABOUT WEARING OFFENSIVE CLOTHING IN THE SCHOOL. BASICALLY, IN THE PRESENTATION, IT WAS SAID STUDENTS SHOULD NOT WEAR KEFFIYEH IN SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY PRESENT HATE AND TERRORISM.

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE HERE THE TEACHER WAS OKAY WITH THIS ISSUE.

EVEN AFTER CHECKING ALL STUDENTS DRAFTS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENTS IN ORDER TO APPROVE IF THIS SUBJECT IS APPROPRIATE OR NOT.

THE TEACHER CLAPPED AND COURAGE BY HIS ACTION.

[00:40:01]

THE TEACHER CONTINUED MAKING MY DAUGHTER FEEL UNSAFE AND BY INVALIDATING WHAT SHE FELT TARGETING AS SHE HAS WARNED THIS KEFFIYEH TO SCHOOL BEFORE AND ANYTHING HAPPENED IN THE CONFLICT HAPPENING EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT.

HE SAID OFFENSIVE STUFF LIKE TERRORISTS DO WEAR THAT REFERRING TO KEFFIYAH THIS WAS IGNORANT, MISLEADING AND OFFENSIVE TO THE INTENSITY OF ALL OF THE PANIC AND DISCRIMINATION.

HE DID. HE ALSO SAID A LOT OF THINGS THAT WHEN YOU NEED TO HEAR IT, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MY WORDS TO PISD THE LEADERSHIP AND STUFF.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

YOU ARE EDUCATIONAL, ACADEMIC, EDUCATIONAL, SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE.

PLEASE HELP EDUCATING THE STAFF FROM KEEP DOING DISCRIMINATES.

WE ARE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, DEFENDING THE COUNTRY AND CONTRIBUTING HOW TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY TO BE GREAT.

BUT WHEN SOMEBODY FROM THE SCHOOL STAFF DO SUCH A THING, IT'S VERY SHAMEFUL AND THIS IS HAPPENING ON DAILY BASIS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOOD EVENING.

WILLIAM SUE.

PLANO ISD.

STUDENT AGENDA ITEM 8.2.

MATH PATHWAY.

HI. OKAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO ME TODAY.

AND TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST ADDRESS THE MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS IN PHYSICS.

PHYSICS INCLUDES MATHEMATICAL MODELS BEING USED TO DESCRIBE AND PREDICT PHYSICAL PHENOMENA, AND SO COMPLETING A PHYSICS COURSE NOT ONLY ENHANCES THE STUDENTS UNDERSTANDING OF MATH, BUT ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO APPLY IN A REAL WORLD CONTEXT.

AND I KNOW THAT WHILE PISD HAS BEEN REMARKABLE IN STEM WITH ITS MANY TEAMS, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING ABOUT THE ATTENTION OF RECENT CHANGES TO THE PHYSICS CURRICULUM.

SO THE DIVISION OF AP PHYSICS INTO AP ONE, AP TWO, AND AP PHYSICS C REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT REFORM.

IN ADDITION, JASPER STUDENTS NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIGN UP FOR AP BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY OR PHYSICS AND WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE 11TH GRADE YEAR TO ENROLL, WHICH I FEEL WILL REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THEIR WORKLOAD ONCE THEY REACH 11 AND 12.

AND THIS IS VERY DETRIMENTAL BECAUSE THEY WILL BE BUSY PREPARING FOR SAT AND ACT AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS.

DON'T FORGET THAT.

AND FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF MY PEERS IN TRAINING CLUBS WHO DEDICATED SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO ESSAYS, DOUBLING UP ON AP SCIENCE COURSES WHILE MANAGING COLLEGE APPLICATIONS CREATES A ADDITIONAL LAYER OF STRESS AND TIME COMMITMENTS.

SO I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU TO RECONSIDER AND REINSTATE THE CHOICE FOR STUDENTS TO BEGIN AP PHYSICS, BIOLOGY OR CHEMISTRY IN THE 10TH GRADE.

WHILE I ACKNOWLEDGE CONCERNS ABOUT THE WORKLOAD AND SKIPPING CLASSES COMPELLING STUDENTS TO CHOOSE FROM, A LIMITED SET OF SCIENCE SUBJECTS MAY NOT ALIGN WITH THE INTERESTS OF MANY STUDENTS, AND STUDENTS IN JASPER ARE DEDICATED TO EXCELLING IN EVERY CLASS THEY ARE IN, SO WHY NOT GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRANCH OUT AND TAKE CLASSES THEY ARE INTERESTED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT? SO IN CONCLUSION, I URGE YOU ALL OF THE PISD SCHOOL BOARD TO RECONSIDER THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS AND PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THEIR PREFERRED SCIENCE SUBJECTS WITH THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THEIR PREFERRED SCIENCE SUBJECTS IN THE 10TH GRADE.

THIS ADJUSTMENT WILL NOT ONLY CATER TO THE DIVERSE INTERESTS AND THE DIVERSE INTERESTS OF STUDENTS, BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE FULFILLING AND BALANCED ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

SOPHIE'S SUE PLANO ISD PARENT AGENDA ITEM 8.2.

MATH PATHWAY.

MEET YOU AGAIN, THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT A MATH PATHWAY, AND I AM PERSONALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING PISD HAVE DONE TO OUR KIDS.

[00:45:01]

HOWEVER, DURING OUR REVISION OF OUR CLASS SELECTION, ESPECIALLY WITH MATH AND SCIENCE.

RIGHT. WHEN YOU DESIGN THE MATH, I DO SEE THAT PISD WANT TO INCLUSIVELY AND BUILD A SOLID PATH FOR EVERY STUDENTS, BUT THIS ALSO PAVE A WAY FOR A PRE REQUEST FOR THE OTHER SCIENCE CLASS.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN AP PHYSICS ONE, THE PRE REQUEST FROM COLLEGE BOARD ONLY REQUIRES ALGEBRA TWO, WHERE JASPER STUDENTS TO WILLIAM'S POINT 50% ABOVE.

OF THE STUDENTS IN JASPER ALREADY PASSED ALGEBRA TWO, SOME OF THEM, MAYBE 30% OF THEM, ARE ALREADY IN THE PRE-CALCULUS, 20% OF THEM ARE, 10% OF THEM ARE ALREADY IN CALCULUS BC.

THEREFORE, IN 10TH GRADE THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE TO GO TO WEST TO PICK UP AP SCIENCE.

THEY ARE STUCK IN 10TH GRADE WHERE THERE'S ONLY BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, BUT THERE'S NO PHYSICS.

BUT AFTER THE REFORM, WITH THE MATH AS A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR ALL THESE KIDS, FOR THEIR SCIENCE, DON'T FORGET ABOUT, UH, ABOUT THE PHYSICS.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THREE STEPS OF PHYSICS IN THREE YEARS.

IF YOU TAKE PHYSICS C IN THE AP, IN THE IN THE 12TH GRADE, THAT PUSH YOU, YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOMETHING IN 10TH GRADE.

SO I THINK WHEN WE DESIGN THE REFORM THERE'S SOMETHING MISSED OVER THERE.

THEREFORE IN 11TH AND 12TH THEY WILL BE OVERBURDENED TOGETHER.

YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT OTHER OTHER ISD FRISCO AND ALLEN HAS AND PROSPER EVEN HAS NO LIMIT ON AP.

ONE, OUR KIDS FACE THE COMPETITION FROM OTHER ISD'S.

NO MATTER HOW GOOD OUR MATH IS, OUR SCIENCE AP CLASS IS VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT AND THEY WILL PUT IN THE DISADVANTAGE.

AND BECAUSE OF THIS MISCALCULATION, MAYBE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO URGE THE BOARDMEMBER RECONSIDER THE DESIGN OF THE AP PHYSICS AND MAYBE IN LINE WITH MATH PATH, PROVIDE A MORE SOLID WAY AND BALANCED WAY FOR 10TH GRADERS ACROSS PISD AND THE REVISIT THE AP PHYSICS ONE PRE-REQUEST.

WE CANNOT IN ANY WAY FIGHT AGAINST COLLEGE BOARD REQUIREMENT.

THEY ONLY REQUIRE ALGEBRA TWO AND WE ADD A BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY ON TOP OF IT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT MAYBE A TYPO RIGHT.

BUT THAT IS A LITTLE BIT CONFLICTING WITH EACH OTHER AND MAKE US LOOK, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT UNPROFESSIONAL IN FRONT OF THE COLLEGE BOARD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU. OUR LAST SPEAKER IS JANE YANG, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT.

AGENDA ITEM 8.2.

MATH PATHWAY.

HI. GOOD EVENING.

I'M COMING HERE TO SPEAK FOR THE, STUDENTS WHO ALSO HAVE TALENT IN MATHEMATICS, BECAUSE MANY OF THE STUDENTS WILL PURSUE THEIR SCIENCE IN THEIR FUTURE CAREERS.

SO THERE WILL BE VERY INTERESTED IN TAKING THE SCIENCE BASICS CLASSES IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS 1&2.

OKAY, HERE IS A PROBLEM MATHEMATICS.

THE PROGRAM IS PRETTY STANDARD STANDARDIZED AND THE SEQUENCE IS VERY LOGICAL.

OKAY. YOU HAVE PRE-ALGEBRA, ALGEBRA ONE, GEOMETRY AND ALGEBRA TWO AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE CALCULUS A, B AND C AND AB AND CD.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE FEEL SOME OF OUR PARENTS FEEL THE PATHWAY OF THE SCIENCE PROGRAM IS NOT THAT LOGICAL RIGHT NOW.

WHAT HAPPENED IS FOR THOSE JUNIOR STUDENTS, NINTH GRADE AND 10TH GRADE STUDENTS, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE ANY AP CLASSES, ANY ONE OF THEM. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS ONE AND TWO, NONE OF THEM.

THE ONLY AP CLASSES THEY CAN TAKE IN SCIENCE FIELD IS AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND IT'S NOT LOGICAL.

THE WHOLE PATHWAY, IT'S NOT LOGICAL.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF HAVING THOSE FOUNDATION BUILD UP IN BASIC SCIENCE FIELD.

THAT HAS TO BE PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY.

AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE IS APPLIED SCIENCE.

IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN MAYBE IN THE COLLEGE THAT WILL BE USEFUL FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO APPRECIATE AND, UH, TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLIED.

THIS ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CONCEPT IS TOO EARLY.

AND I WOULD PUT IT THIS WAY.

IT'S A WASTE OF TIME FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.

IT'S A PRECIOUS TIME TAKEN AWAY FROM THOSE JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS FOR THE 10TH GRADE AND SO I REALLY HOPE THAT THE DISTRICT CAN RECONSIDER THE PATH, THE PROGRAM FOR THE SCIENCE PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE NEED THOSE STUDENTS TO EXCELLENT IN THEIR SCIENCE EDUCATION

[00:50:08]

REMEMBER YOUR SCIENCE FAIR STARTING IN SEVENTH GRADE, SEVENTH GRADE, THAT'S IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND EVEN IN JUNIOR SCHOOL.

IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY AP CLASSES FOR THE STUDENTS, AND YOU EXPECT THEM TO WIN THOSE SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT IN INTERNATIONAL, IN NATIONAL. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT THOSE TOPICS OF SCIENCE FAIR? THEY ARE VERY ADVANCED.

EVEN I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE TITLES OF THOSE SCIENCE PROJECTS.

THEN YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW ADVANCED SOME OF THOSE SCIENCE STUDENTS ARE DOING.

WE NEED TO OFFER OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE TALENTED, WHO HAVE INTEREST, WHO HAVE PASSION FOR SCIENCE AND FOR MATHEMATICS.

THAT'S FOR OUR FUTURE.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS FROM THE BOARD, WE WILL NOW ADJOURN TO CLOSED SESSION AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT FOR THE FOLLOWING PURPOSE.

[5. CLOSED SESSION]

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE AT ITEM NUMBER SIX TO RECONVENE THE OPEN SESSION, AND THE TIME IS 7:43.

[6. RECONVENE OPEN SESSION]

WELL, I THINK I'M SORRY, I MISSPOKE.

IT'S JUST DOCTOR LAUREN TYRA WHO ARE JOINING US VIA ZOOM.

AND THERE YOU ARE.

CAN WE HEAR YOU? YES.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.

AND I CAN HEAR YOU.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, SO NOW WE'LL MOVE TO NUMBER SEVEN.

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE CONSENT AGENDA CONSISTS OF ROUTINE ITEMS GROUPED TOGETHER FOR APPROVAL WITH NO DISCUSSION.

BOARD MEMBERS, ARE THERE ANY REQUESTS TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE.

MAY I HAVE A MOTION FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE APPROVES THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE ANGELA POWELL AND A SECOND BY TRUSTEE KATHERINE GOODWIN THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. WE WILL NOW PROCEED TO VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND DOCTOR TYRA.

I SEE YOUR HAND IS RAISED, SO THE MOTION CARRIES.

LET'S SEE.

WHAT ARE WE? 5? 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

. WAIT.

YEAH, I WAS, THAT'S WHY I WAS HAVING TROUBLE.

ALL RIGHT. AND SO THE CONSENT AGENDA IS PASSED.

[8.1 Multilingual Programs Report]

AND THE FIRST REPORT IS FOR MULTILINGUAL PROGRAMS. AND I WILL INVITE WHERE IS.

THERE WE GO. THERE'S TALLE GOMEZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR MULTILINGUAL SERVICES, AND SHE'LL BEGIN HER PRESENTATION NOW.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME AGAIN.

I DON'T OFTEN GET TO SEE YOU, THIS CLOSE TOGETHER, SO I APPRECIATE THE TIME.

THIS EVENING, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUST GO OVER, A MULTILINGUAL SERVICES UPDATE.

IF I CAN.

THERE WE GO. OKAY.

I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL RECEIVED A COPY OF OUR PROGRAM EVALUATION, THIS IS LINKED IN THIS SLIDE DECK AS WELL, BUT I'M REALLY GOING TO JUST DO A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THIS EVENING AND ALSO BRING IN A LITTLE BIT MORE CURRENT DATA.

THE 2223 PROGRAM EVALUATION THAT YOU'VE SEEN REALLY IS OVER PAST DATA AND INFORMATION.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION.

SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION YOU'LL ALSO SEE WHERE WE ARE UP TO DATE AND THEN SOME FUTURE PLANS.

OKAY. SO I WANT TO BEGIN BY NOT ONLY FOCUSING US ON THIS SLIDE, BUT YOU ALSO RECEIVED A HANDOUT THIS EVENING THAT GOES WITH THE SLIDES AND SO ON THIS SLIDE.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE YOU WILL SEE INFORMATION HERE.

[00:55:02]

SO WE SERVE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT NUMBERS ON OUR NEXT SLIDE.

IN TWO DIFFERENT UNDER TWO DIFFERENT SORTS OF UMBRELLAS.

SO WE HAVE AN ESL UMBRELLA AND WE HAVE A BILINGUAL UMBRELLA.

AND SO AND THOSE ARE STATE APPROVED PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE AT ELEMENTARY, LANGUAGE SUPPORT THAT IS DONE THROUGH CONTENT BASED. AND THEN WE HAVE AT OUR SECONDARY, WE HAVE SECONDARY NEWCOMER COURSES AND THEN SECONDARY SHELTERED INSTRUCTION, AND THEN UNDER THAT BILINGUAL UMBRELLA WE HAVE ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

AND ON YOUR HANDOUT YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE CAMPUSES THAT OFFER THE ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM.

WE ALSO HAVE TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE IN OUR DISTRICT.

AND THAT WAS NEW THIS YEAR.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE CAMPUS WHERE WE OFFER THAT PROGRAM AS WELL.

AND JUST TO OFFER A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE INCLUDED THE STATE DEFINITION OF THOSE PROGRAMS FOR YOU ON YOUR HANDOUT, ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE IS A PROGRAM WHERE WE SERVE EMERGENT BILINGUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM.

TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE IS A VERY SIMILAR PROGRAM IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S TEACHING BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH TO OUR STUDENTS, WITH THE DIFFERENCE BEING THAT HALF OF THE CLASS IS MADE OF STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENT BILINGUAL, WHILE THE OTHER HALF OF THE CLASS IS NON-EMERGENT BILINGUALS WHO ARE LEARNING THE OTHER LANGUAGE. SO AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT MORE IN THE DEFINITION I OFFERED ON YOUR HANDOUT, BUT THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR PROGRAMS. OKAY.

AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO SEE SOME ENROLLMENT NUMBERS.

AND THOSE ARE ALL OF OUR EMERGENT BILINGUALS IN THE SECOND COLUMN THERE.

AND THEN WE'VE BROKEN THEM DOWN BETWEEN THOSE PROGRAMS THAT I JUST EXPLAINED.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS FOR OUR BILINGUAL PROGRAMS AND OUR ESL PROGRAMS. I KNOW WE TALK A LOT ABOUT DECLINING ENROLLMENT RECENTLY.

THIS IS NOT AN AREA WHERE WE ARE SEEING DECLINING ENROLLMENT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE JUST STEADILY INCREASED THE NUMBER OF EMERGENT BILINGUALS THAT WE SERVE IN OUR DISTRICT.

WITH CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST ENROLLMENT WE'VE SEEN OF EMERGENT BILINGUALS IN PLANO ISD.

OKAY. WE, I EXPLAINED SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT AS WE SERVE OUR STUDENTS, WE DO A LOT IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR TEACHERS, CREATING CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION SUPPORTS FOR BOTH ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS, AND THEN BOTH DISTRICT LEVEL STAFF AND CAMPUS LEVEL STAFF THAT CAN MODEL, COACH AND HELP COLLABORATE WITH THE TEACHERS TO FEEL SUCCESSFUL AND BE ABLE TO HELP STUDENTS ACCESS OUR CURRICULUM.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS A SLIDE THAT IS FUN BECAUSE IT REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE DIVERSITY IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THIS MAP WITH THE DIFFERENT FLAGS REPRESENTS THE STUDENTS WHO WE CURRENTLY SERVE IN PLANO ISD.

AND SO WE SERVE STUDENTS WHO SPEAK OVER 90 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND ARE FROM ABOUT 120 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

AND I SAY OVER 90 LANGUAGES BECAUSE WE KNOW 90.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME LANGUAGES THAT PARENTS REPORT THAT UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO BE REPORTED AS OTHER.

SO WE HAVE EVEN GREATER THAN 90.

BUT IT REALLY DOES HIGHLIGHT THE DIVERSITY IN OUR DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES ARE GOING TO BE ABOUT OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES.

AND WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THESE OVER TIME.

SO STARTING IN 2018 TO 2023.

SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT GROWTH IT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANY TIME BETWEEN 2018 AND 2023.

SO I'M GOING TO START WITH THE READING LANGUAGE ARTS STAAR RESULTS AND THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

OVER THAT TIME PERIOD THAT I JUST MENTIONED OF 2018 TO 2023, WE SAW GROWTH ON THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE, ANYWHERE FROM 13 TO 18%.

AND THEN WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR BILINGUAL STUDENT GROUP FOR THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE, WE SAW GROWTH FROM ANYWHERE TO 18 TO 40% AND 2% DIFFERENCE AMONG ALL STUDENT GROUP AND BILINGUAL STUDENT GROUP.

AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE, AS I TALKED ABOUT OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, LAST YEAR WAS OUR FIRST YEAR THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A STAAR TESTING GRADE WHERE OUR

[01:00:05]

SO, WE WERE FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT.

BUT THEN DATA, OF COURSE, ALWAYS MAKES US ASSURED THAT WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO WE'RE REALLY CELEBRATING THOSE GROWTH AREAS IN SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, AND ALSO EOC'S, YOU'LL ONLY SEE THAT THERE'S AN AREA UNDER ESL, AND THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE BILINGUAL PROGRAMS AT SECONDARY.

SO IN SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE FOR THE READING LANGUAGE ARTS, WE SAW 21 TO 27% GROWTH WITH OUR ESL STUDENTS.

AND ON OUR EOC'S, WE SAW ANYWHERE FROM 13 TO 18% GROWTH.

IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW I WOULD NEVER BE SATISFIED.

SO OF COURSE, WE HAVE AREAS OF FOCUS TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GROW OUR STUDENTS.

SO WE WANT CONTINUED GROWTH FOR ALL STUDENTS.

WE ALSO WANT TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN CLOSE THE GAPS SO THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING AT SIMILAR PERFORMANCE LEVELS, NO MATTER WHAT GROUP THEY FALL IN FOR REPORTING.

AND THEN ENGLISH ONE AND ENGLISH TWO EOC'S ARE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS SO THAT WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. I WILL MENTION THAT ONE OF THE BARRIERS THERE IS THAT WHEN WE HAVE AN INCREASE OF NEWCOMERS, THEY TAKE THE TEST IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING OUR SCHOOLS.

AND SO THE LEVEL OF ENGLISH NEEDED FOR THOSE TESTS CAN BE TRICKY.

AND SO WHILE WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO WORK HARD TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR KIDS, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT IS A CHALLENGE FOR SURE. OKAY.

AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE DATA SIMILARLY FOR MATH.

AND SO AGAIN OUR ESL GROUP THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE WE SAW 2 TO 3% GROWTH.

AND FOR BILINGUAL WE SAW ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 25% GROWTH.

AGAIN ANOTHER CELEBRATION HERE IS THAT WE SAW A 2% DIFFERENCE AMONG THIRD GRADE BILINGUAL STUDENTS AND ALL STUDENTS WITH THE BILINGUAL GROUP ACTUALLY SCORING HIGHER.

AND THAT WAS OUR DUAL LANGUAGE GROUP THAT HAD ROLLED UP FROM THROUGH OUR PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION.

AND IN SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, WE ARE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THAT 10 TO 15% GROWTH.

AGAIN, AREAS OF FOCUS ARE CONTINUED GROWTH FOR ALL STUDENTS, CLOSING THE GAP AT ALL GRADE LEVELS.

AND THEN REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT ESL FOR FOURTH AND SEVENTH GRADE TO REALLY TRY TO IDENTIFY HOW WE CAN INCREASE OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND TARGET SKILLS THAT OUR ESL STUDENTS ARE NEEDING AT THOSE TWO GRADE LEVELS.

AND THEN THE ALGEBRA EOC IS ANOTHER AREA THAT WE'RE WORKING HARD AS A DISTRICT TO REALLY TARGET.

OKAY. AND THEN SCIENCE AGAIN.

YOU WILL SEE SIMILAR TABLE HERE.

WE SAW AT THE EOC LEVEL FOR SCIENCE WHICH IS BIOLOGY, A 7% GROWTH WITH OUR ESL STUDENTS.

BUT WE DID IDENTIFY THAT BESIDES THAT CONTINUED GROWTH IN THE CLOSING THE GAP, OUR ESL AND BILINGUAL FOR FIFTH GRADE IS AN AREA THAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON AND WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH OUR SCIENCE COORDINATOR AND HAVE ALREADY, THROUGHOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR, BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR BILINGUAL COACHES AND TEACHERS AS LONG AS OUR ESL COACHES TO REALLY TARGET THE THE TEKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES WITH THOSE TWO STUDENT GROUPS AND THEN EIGHTH GRADE AS WELL.

SO WE ARE AWARE THAT THOSE ARE TARGET AREAS AND HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO FOCUS ON THOSE.

AND AS I MENTIONED, OUR TEACHERS ARE ALWAYS IN DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING NEW SKILLS.

AND THIS IS JUST A PICTURE HERE THAT REPRESENTS, THEM HAVING SOME FUN AND PRACTICING SOME OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT WE USE.

OKAY. AND LASTLY, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOCIAL STUDIES.

AND WE SAW AN 11% GROWTH IN THE ON THE EIGHTH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES AND A 2% GROWTH ON THE EOC.

SO AGAIN THIS IS JUST AN AREA WHERE WE'RE CELEBRATING GROWTH, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE FOCUS ON THAT CONTINUED GROWTH AND AND CLOSING GAPS.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN FUTURE PLANNING.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT, AS YOU SAW ON THE SLIDE TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF THIS PRESENTATION, THAT WE JUST CONTINUE TO MONITOR ENROLLMENT OF OUR

[01:05:04]

AND THIS ALSO ALLOWS US TO BE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT GROWTH ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND IN CERTAIN AREAS, AS WELL AS PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AT DIFFERENT CAMPUSES.

SO SOMETHING ELSE THAT WILL BE A FOCUS AS WE CONTINUE TO TRAIN ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS IS ON A MODEL CALLED SIOP.

IT IS SHELTERED INSTRUCTION OBSERVATION PROTOCOL, AND THIS IS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE MODEL THAT WILL ALLOW US TO REALLY BRIDGE OUR WORK WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE IN PLANO, BUT REALLY FOCUS ON SOME OF THOSE COMPONENTS AND SKILLS AND STRATEGIES THAT OUR TEACHERS WILL REALLY BENEFIT FROM SO THAT THEY NOT ONLY FEEL SUCCESSFUL WITH THEIR STUDENTS, BUT WE SEE THE OUTCOMES WITH THAT STUDENT, WITH OUR STUDENT GROUP.

SO, THAT BRINGS US TO THE CONCLUSION OF MY PRESENTATION, AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE.

YOU MENTIONED THE GROWTH NUMBERS, AND YOU HAD A LOT OF THEM, HOW DO THOSE GROWTH NUMBERS COMPARE TO THE NON ESL STUDENTS, AND DO WE CLOSE ANY GAPS DURING THAT TIME FRAME? OUR GROWTH.

OKAY. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ENROLLMENT GROWTH OR STAAR ACHIEVEMENT GROWTH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO WILL YOU RESTATE YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS THINKING ENROLLMENT WHEN YOU STARTED.

SO DID WE CLOSE ANY OF THE GAPS.

SO YOU MENTIONED A NUMBER OF GROWTH NUMBERS IN EACH OF THE STAAR AREAS.

HOW DO THOSE COMPARE TO GROWTH NUMBERS IN OUR NON ESL POPULATION.

AND DID WE CLOSE ANY GAPS.

WE ABSOLUTELY DID.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF LORI WANTS TO SPEAK MORE TO ALL STUDENT GROUPS I'LL DEFINITELY GIVE HER THAT OPPORTUNITY.

BUT WE HAVE SOME DIFFERENT GRAPHS THAT ARE CREATED AND SHOW YEAR TO YEAR AND BY STUDENT GROUPS AND ALL STUDENTS. AND WE CAN DEFINITELY SHARE THOSE WITH YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.

BUT IT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO SEE THAT NOT ONLY BY STUDENT GROUP, BUT ALL GROUPS OVER TIME.

IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE HELPFUL IF WHEN BRINGING THESE NUMBERS UP, BECAUSE I THINK THE GROWTH NUMBERS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT THEY'RE IMPORTANT COMPARATIVELY SURE TO SHOW IF WE ARE TRULY BEING SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS POPULATION.

BECAUSE IF EVERYONE'S GROWING AT 10% AND THESE GUYS ARE GROWING AT 5%, WE STILL HAVE A PROBLEM.

GROWTH IS CERTAINLY GOOD, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE OBVIOUSLY, IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO CLOSE THOSE GAPS.

ABSOLUTELY. MY SECOND QUESTION WAS JUST, YOU MENTIONED AT THE END, THIS, [INAUDIBLE] MODEL, HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT ANY OTHER MODELS AROUND, UM, CLOSING SOME OF THESE GAPS? UM, I KNOW WE HAVE CERTAIN SCHOOLS THAT ARE BILINGUAL AND DEDICATED TO BILINGUAL EDUCATION.

WHAT OTHER MODELS HAVE WE LOOKED AT? I'M JUST CURIOUS AS WE THINK ABOUT, BECAUSE OVER THE NEXT HANDFUL OF YEARS, THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR POPULATION.

AND SO REALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW WE ARE LOOKING AT THEM AND HOW WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ENROLL THEM, ENGAGE THEM AND IMPROVE THEM IS ALWAYS HELPFUL. YES, SO ONE OF THE YES, WE LOOKED AT COMPARATIVELY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MODELS WITH A COMMITTEE TO SEE WHICH ONE WOULD REALLY OFFER US, THE MOST FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF INTEGRATING WITH THINGS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE, BUT BEING SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TARGET THINGS THAT WE NEED.

SIOP IS A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL.

AND ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS SUGGESTED IN THE AUDIT THAT WAS DONE LAST SCHOOL YEAR.

AND SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT IN COMPARISON TO OTHER MODELS, THIS ONE REALLY DOES ALLOW THROUGH THE EIGHT COMPONENTS.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

ONE OF THOSE COMPONENTS BEING INTERACTION.

WELL, THAT INTERACTION REALLY SUPPORTS WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE WITH OUR INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL, BUT ALSO SUPPORTS NOT ONLY SIOP STRATEGIES.

BUT [INAUDIBLE].

IS ANOTHER COMPANY, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT HAS A MODEL THAT ALLOWS US TO USE STRATEGIES THAT SOME OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRAINED ON AND JUST SUPPORT ONE OF THOSE COMPONENTS OF SIOP.

SO IT DOESN'T REALLY, CREATE A SITUATION WHERE WE ONLY HAVE TO USE ONE TYPE OF STRATEGY, BUT THEY FIT INTO THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS WHICH SUPPORT

[01:10:01]

OKAY. THANKS.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, SLIDE FOUR, WHICH IS THE.

CHARTS. IT'S THE RED ENROLLMENT.

WHEN SLIDE NUMBER FOUR IT TALKS ABOUT ENROLLMENT GROWTH.

AND FOR 23-24 IT SAYS BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE A TOTAL OF 12,330 STUDENTS.

SO IS THAT FAIR TO SAY THAT ONE FOURTH OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN.

YES. THIS.

YES. OKAY. I MEAN, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT STATISTIC TO SAY.

I MEAN, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT WAY OF HOLDING THAT.

BUT IN THAT QUESTION I ASKED THEN IT LED ME TO ANOTHER QUESTION CURIOUS ABOUT.

WE HAVE THE DUAL PROGRAM AT ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

SO THAT MEANS STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGLISH PRIMARY ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROGRAM AND TO BE COUNTED.

CORRECT. AND SO I WAS CURIOUS THEN THAT LED ME TO BE CURIOUS HOW MANY ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS, WHAT'S THE RATIO OF ENGLISH VERSUS NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS IN THE DUAL PROGRAM? IS IT A 50/50 KIND OF RELATIONSHIP OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO ON YOUR HANDOUT, THE YEAH, YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE COLUMN THAT SAYS TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

IF YOU FLIP THAT OVER.

YEAH, YOU WILL ONLY SEE THAT LITTLE CHECK MARK UNDER DAFFRON.

RIGHT. DAFFRON HAS ONE CLASS THAT IS A TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOM AT PRE-K.

11 OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE STUDENTS WHO QUALIFIED IN OUR EMERGENT BILINGUALS.

THE OTHER 11 ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING STUDENTS.

AS FOR ALL THE REST OF THOSE CAMPUSES WITH ONE WAY, THOSE ARE ALL STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM.

SO RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE 11, ENGLISH STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN DUAL LANGUAGE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GROW THAT PROGRAM AT THAT CAMPUS.

SO NEXT YEAR WILL BE PRE-K AND AND KINDERGARTEN.

SO I HAVE HAD FAMILIES SAYING THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROGRAM AT THEIR CAMPUSES.

AND SO CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE CHALLENGES AND BARRIERS THAT PREVENT US FROM JUST SAYING, PROVIDING IT EVERY CAMPUS THAT HAS.

SURE. CAN YOU BECAUSE THAT'S I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT PARENTS ARE REALLY WANTING.

YEAH, IT WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT CAN YOU ADDRESS THOSE BARRIERS? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY AND I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ROOM TO GROW THIS PROGRAM IN OUR FUTURE.

I THINK ONE OF OUR BIGGEST BARRIERS AT THIS TIME IS FINDING BILINGUAL CERTIFIED TEACHERS.

SO THAT REALLY IS OUR NUMBER ONE BARRIER IN BEING ABLE TO OPEN OUR BILINGUAL PROGRAMS TO MORE STUDENTS.

SO, WE'RE WORKING HARD WITH HR TO REALLY MAKE SURE WE'RE OUT THERE RECRUITING.

WE'VE CREATED SOME OF OUR OWN, GROW OUR OWN PROGRAMS\, JUST THIS LAST SCHOOL YEAR TO BE ABLE TO REALLY HAVE MORE, CANDIDATES AVAILABLE. BUT REALLY CERTIFICATION IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST BARRIERS.

BUT THERE IS ROOM IN OUR DISTRICT TO CONTINUE TO GROW.

OUR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM IS A CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR DUAL LINGUAL, DUAL MORE OR DIFFERENT OR MORE ONEROUS THAN THE ONE WAY.

SO NO, IT'S JUST THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS YOU'RE SERVING.

THEN CREATES A NEED FOR MORE TEACHERS THAT WHO ARE BILINGUAL, CERTIFIED, AND THE BILINGUAL TEACHER CERTIFICATION DOES HAVE 2 TO 3 EXTRA TESTS THAN A GENERALIST CERTIFICATION DOES.

SO IS THERE ANY, OPPORTUNITY FOR CAMPUSES THAT HAVE ONE WAY TO CONVERT THOSE TO TWO WAY? BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE TWO WAY PROGRAM THAT STUDENTS WERE HAVING.

YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ACTUALLY OUR THIRD GRADERS RIGHT NOW WHO ARE SHOWING US SUCCESS THROUGH THE STAAR DATA, ARE ACTUALLY STUDENTS IN OUR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM. YES, BECAUSE I WOULD SAY IT'S A PRE-K.

THEY'RE PRE-K WE'RE NOT SEEING.

YEAH. DID THAT. YEAH. WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING ALREADY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH WITH OUR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

YES, DR.

TYRA, I SEE THAT YOU'RE UP THERE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? HAND IS UP. YEAH, I'LL PUT MY HAND DOWN.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT, BECAUSE I GET A TON OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS FROM THE COMMUNITY, IS THAT.

WE USE THE TERMS BILINGUAL AND DUAL LANGUAGE.

SOMEWHAT SIMILARLY, BUT ALSO SOMETIMES INTERCHANGEABLY.

AND SO IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO A CAMPUS AS A BILINGUAL CAMPUS.

WHAT WE'RE THAT IS A ONE WAY OR A TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE CAMPUS, AS OPPOSED TO THERE BEING A SEPARATE BILINGUAL PROGRAM THAT'S

[01:15:01]

THE BILINGUAL IS THE UMBRELLA TERMS THAT IS USED.

AND THEN THE PROGRAM MODEL FALLS UNDERNEATH THE BILINGUAL UMBRELLA TERMS. GOT IT. THANK YOU, SO SORRY, [INAUDIBLE].

TO CLARIFY, THAT MEANS THAT ESL FALLS UNDER BILINGUAL.

NO, BILINGUAL IS AN UMBRELLA A TERMS THAT BOTH ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE AND TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE MODELS FALL UNDER.

PERFECT. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ALWAYS COMES UP WHEN WE GET THESE MULTILINGUAL PRESENTATIONS OR, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GO TO TRAINING AND I TRY AND GO TO THE MULTILINGUAL TALKS, IS HAVING, DUAL LANGUAGE OR, YOU KNOW, A DIFFERENT MODEL BILINGUAL PROGRAM AT THE SECONDARY.

AND I'M CURIOUS IF THE TEAM HAS THOUGHTS ON DO WE HAVE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL BILINGUAL BILINGUAL PROGRAMING AT SECONDARY? OTHER THAN THE PROGRAMS YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED, THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, SOMETHING LIKE A DUAL LANGUAGE AT SECONDARY.

SO, WE HAVE OUR FIRST GROUP OF FIFTH GRADERS AT OUR TWO PILOT CAMPUSES.

BECAUSE AT ALL THE OTHER CAMPUSES, THE DUAL ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS ARE UP THROUGH FOURTH GRADE THIS YEAR.

BUT OUR TWO PILOT CAMPUSES HAVE ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE UP THROUGH FIFTH GRADE THIS YEAR.

NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE OUR FIRST COURSE AT SIXTH GRADE.

THAT IS FOR OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS, AND IT WILL BE A COURSE AROUND LEADERSHIP TAUGHT IN SPANISH.

AND THAT WAS APPROVED BY OUR NEW COURSE COMMITTEE THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED NEXT YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THAT DOESN'T ENTIRELY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM AT SECONDARY.

THAT ONE.

REALLY? QUALIFY AS A FULL DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM AT SECONDARY.

YET BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT NEEDS TO BE DEDICATED TO SPANISH INSTRUCTION.

BUT WE ARE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION WITH THAT COURSE AND WE WILL HAVE CONTINUED COMMITTEE WORK MOVING FORWARD ON WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE THROUGH SECONDARY AND UP TOWARDS GRADUATION AND PERFORMANCE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I MIGHT JUST JUMP IN AND ASK YOU REAL QUICK ON THE SIOP, THE SHELTERED INSTRUCTION OBSERVATION PROTOCOL.

KIND OF EXPLAIN THE NAME, IF YOU WILL.

I'M CONFUSED BY THAT.

OKAY, SHELTERED INSTRUCTION IS A PRETTY BLANKET TERM, I WOULD SAY, FOR, UM.

PROVIDING INSTRUCTION USING, MANY DIFFERENT STRATEGIES SO THAT STUDENTS AT DIFFERENT ENGLISH PROFICIENCY LEVELS HAVE ACCESS TO THE CURRICULUM AND ARE PRACTICING LANGUAGE DURING THAT CORE CONTENT, WHATEVER CURRICULUM IT IS THAT THE TEACHER IS SHARING.

OBSERVATION PROTOCOL, IS PART OF THAT NAME BECAUSE PART OF WHAT COMES WITH THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ARE TOOLS SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO USE THEIR OBSERVATION TOOLS TO CHECK FOR THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND STRATEGIES THAT ARE BEING USED.

AND SO IT'S WHERE SOME AREN'T QUITE SO COMPREHENSIVE IN THE FACT THAT MAYBE THERE'S A STRATEGY THROUGH BE GLAD OR SEIDLITZ OR MANY OTHER GREAT, COMPANIES THAT WE USE.

THEY DON'T ALLOW YOU TO THEN TAKE IT TO THE NEXT STEP OF THAT OBSERVATION AND THE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, WHEREAS THIS IS ALREADY BUILT IN, WITH AN OBSERVATION TOOL.

OKAY. SO WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO SAY SHELTERED INSTRUCTION IS LIKE DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION? IS THAT SIMILAR? IT IS DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION.

AND AND THE SHELTERED INSTRUCTION TERM REALLY IS MORE SPECIFIC TO LANGUAGE PROFICIENCIES, WHEREAS DIFFERENTIATION CAN BE LANGUAGE, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE BASED ON THE CONTENT.

AND SO SHELTERED IS SPECIFIC TO LANGUAGE PROFICIENCIES.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

CAN I ASK ABOUT THE CURRICULUM QUICKLY? SURE. FOR THESE PROGRAMS, DO WE USE LEXIA FOR THE STUDENTS TO USE OR DO WE USE LIKE A LIKE AN APPLICATION TOOL? YES WE DO.

WE DO NOT USE LEXIA IN OUR ESL PROGRAMS. WE USE TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS IN OUR NEWCOMER COURSES.

ONE OF THOSE IS CALLED SUMMIT K12.

IT IS VERY ALIGNED TO UM TELL PASS AND THE FOUR DOMAINS OF LISTENING, SPEAKING, READING AND WRITING.

IF YOU'RE PROBABLY MORE FAMILIAR WITH SOMETHING LIKE ROSETTA STONE.

[01:20:03]

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS WAS BUILT FOR STUDENTS, IN K-12 SETTINGS, AND IT'S ALIGNED TO TELL PASS.

SO IT REALLY ALLOWS THE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE IN MORE OF A SETTING THAT WILL LET THEM BE MORE SUCCESSFUL. ON TEL PASS, WE ALSO USE A PROGRAM THROUGH HMH, THAT IS CALLED READ 180.

BUT FOR NEWCOMERS, IT IS SPECIFIC STARTING WITH BEGINNER ENGLISH SKILLS.

AND SO WE USE BOTH OF THOSE PLATFORMS IN OUR ESL CLASSES.

I KNOW THOSE ARE GOOD PLATFORMS. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GREAT REPORT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO 8.2 REPORTS KINDERGARTEN GRADE 12 MATH PATHWAYS UPDATE.

[8.2 Kindergarten - Grade 12 Math Pathways Update]

THERE YOU ARE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DOCTOR WILLIAMS, AND CABINET MEMBERS, IT'S VERY NICE TO SEE THIS EVENING.

SO I AM LET ME GET MY CLICKER GOING.

AND. TONIGHT'S REALLY JUST A QUICK REPORT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT WE HAVE STARTED SOME OF THIS WORK, LAUNCHED THE WORK TO REALLY TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT OUR K 12 MATH PATHWAYS, WORK OR PATHWAYS FOR KIDS.

SO WHEN WE WERE STRATEGIC PLANNING WE TALKED ABOUT REMOVING BARRIERS SO THIS IS ALIGNED TO PILLAR ONE UM FOR STUDENTS SO THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY PROGRAM AND INSTRUCTION THAT'S RELEVANT AND ENGAGING.

THAT'S WHAT PILLAR ONE IS ALL ABOUT.

SO WHEN WE KIND OF UNPACK THAT, THE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE THAT ALIGNS WITH THAT IS, AS I SAID, REMOVING BARRIERS.

AND THE STRATEGY VERY SPECIFICALLY THAT'S ALIGNED WITH THAT IS REDESIGNING THAT K 12 MATHEMATICS PROGRAM AND PATHWAYS.

HENCE, MATH ROCKS IS PART OF THAT CONVERSATION.

IN ANALYSIS HONORS AS WELL, SO THAT WE REALLY ARE TAKING A CLOSE LOOK AT INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE RIGOROUS COURSEWORK.

SO THE RESULT OF THIS WORK IS TO INCREASE INCLUSIVITY, KIND OF REDESIGN THE PATHWAY THAT'S GOING TO GIVE EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY MATHEMATICS EDUCATION FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

AND OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS WANT TO DECREASE BARRIERS FOR THOSE KIDS THAT ARE NOT IN THE HONORS PATHWAY OR THE ACCELERATED PATHWAYS WHO WANT TO JUST TAKE MORE CHALLENGING COURSES.

THAT'S A PART OF THIS WORK AS WELL.

WE HAVE LOTS OF DATA POINTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THAT.

AND ONCE WE'VE KIND OF COME TOGETHER AS A WORK GROUP, AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT.

THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

YOU CAN SEE MEASURES OF SUCCESS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT ALL THROUGHOUT THIS WORK.

AND SO YOU MAY ASK WHY, OUR STUDENTS PERFORM VERY WELL.

WE KNOW THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HOW THEY DO, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME STUDENT POPULATIONS THAT ARE NOT PERFORMING AS WELL.

AND SO IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THOSE STUDENTS TO FIND OUT WHY, AND TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO ALWAYS HAVE A MINDSET OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING AND EXAMINING OUR K 12 MATH PATHWAY, WHICH IT HASN'T BEEN DONE IN A LITTLE WHILE.

SO IT'S IT'S TIME FOR THAT.

SO I KNOW THIS IS DATA THAT YOU'VE SEEN.

IT'S JUST A REMINDER OF WHAT OUR ON TRACK COLLEGE READINESS LOOKS LIKE FOR THESE STUDENT POPULATIONS.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL STUDENTS.

AND OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.

THIS IS MAP DATA FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THIS PERCENTAGE IS CALCULATED AT THE MEETS GRADE LEVEL AND ABOVE ON MAP.

YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A DISPARITY BETWEEN SOME OF OUR STUDENT POPULATIONS, AS IT COMPARES TO ALL STUDENTS.

SO I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS DATA, BUT WE ABSOLUTELY TRACK THIS DATA, NOT JUST THESE STUDENT GROUPS.

THERE ARE OTHER STUDENT GROUPS THAT WE LOOK AT AS WELL.

SO THE CHARGE FOR THE COMMITTEE WAS TO RESEARCH AND DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THAT REDESIGN OF K-12 MATHEMATICS PATHWAYS, TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE AREN'T ANY BARRIERS, OR FOR ACCESSIBILITY TO RIGOROUS COURSEWORK AND HIGH LEVELS OF LEARNING FOR ALL STUDENTS.

SO NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE ACCESSING RIGOROUS COURSEWORK, AND NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE MEETING THEIR GOALS FOR HIGH LEVELS OF SUCCESS IN MATH.

AND SO THAT'S A REALITY.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, WE ARE NOT PUTTING ANY BARRIERS IN PLACE TO THAT.

SO WE PUT TOGETHER A WORK GROUP TO HELP US DISCOVER WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN DO BETTER AND HOW WE STRUCTURE OUR PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS AND WHAT OUR MATH INSTRUCTION LOOKS LIKE IN

[01:25:06]

HERE'S OUR COMMITTEE.

IT'S MADE UP OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY FOLKS, DEPARTMENT FOLKS, FROM A VARIETY OF DEPARTMENTS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS IN THERE, SENIOR HIGH, SEVERAL ELEMENTARY.

UM, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE DEPARTMENTS AS WELL.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS.

THIS WAS BY INTEREST.

THESE ARE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS THAT SPOKE UP AND SAID, I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS AND THEY HAD THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD CHOICE.

SO WE TRIED REALLY HARD TO PULL THOSE IN THAT, HAD THOSE FIRST AND SECOND CHOICES TO SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE.

WE ALSO WANT TO ADD SOME CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS THAT ARE FROM A NON MATH ROCKS CAMPUS.

WE THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

SO BEFORE WE MEET AGAIN ON JANUARY 18TH WE'RE GOING TO ADD THOSE TO THIS WORKGROUP.

BECAUSE WE ALSO FEEL LIKE THAT THEIR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

SO FIRST MEETING WE HAD WAS NOVEMBER 28TH.

WE ESTABLISHED THE CHARGE FOR THE GROUP.

WE REALLY HAD A GOOD TIME DIGGING INTO THE RESEARCH, WE PULLED IN QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH.

LISA HAD HAD ACCESS TO HANOVER RESEARCH.

WE, SHE HAD A HUGE BINDER.

WE SHARED QUITE A BIT OF THE ARTICLES WITH THEM ELECTRONICALLY DIVIDED UP.

HAD A PROTOCOL TO WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THEM.

I THINK THEY REALLY ENJOYED WHAT THEY READ AND READ AND WHAT THEY RESEARCHED, THEN WE BEGAN TO BRAINSTORM SOME DATA AND INFORMATION WE FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO GATHER TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK, SO THAT WAS A PART OF THAT MEETING AS WELL.

UM, WE KNOW WE NEED TO ESTABLISH A FULL PICTURE OF WHAT OUR PATHWAYS LOOK LIKE, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO ASSUME THAT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ACCESS.

SO THAT'S A BIG PART OF THIS WORK.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS YEAR WE'VE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON FINDING STUDENTS WHO SHOULD BE IN A HIGHER LEVEL MATH, BUT ARE NOT CHOOSING THIS ON THEIR OWN.

THE STATE ACTUALLY EXCUSE ME, HAS SAID THIS YEAR WE MUST DO THAT AS A DISTRICT.

WE STARTED THAT WORK LAST YEAR, SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THE GAME, BUT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.

WE KNOW WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR SYSTEM SUPPORTS ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCESS HIGHER LEVEL COURSES.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS OUR IDENTIFICATION PROCESS.

IS IT REALLY ADEQUATE TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE STUDENTS WHO NEED TO BE IN MORE CHALLENGING COURSES? AND THEN WHAT DOES OUR TIER ONE MATH INSTRUCTION LOOK LIKE IN ALL GRADES TO SUPPORT MOVING OUR KIDS INTO HIGHER LEVEL MATH? SO WE HAVE TO ASK HARD QUESTIONS OF OURSELVES.

AND JUST BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN DOING IT THIS WAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME, DOES IT MEAN WE DO NOT HAVE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS? SO THE NEXT MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO ESTABLISH CURRENT PRACTICES IN PLANO ISD AND REMOVE ANY ASSUMPTIONS OR MISINFORMATION.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A VERY CLOSE LOOK FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE.

WHAT IS THE WHAT ARE THOSE MATH PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES LOOK LIKE CURRENTLY? THEN WE'RE GOING TO IDENTIFY ANY BARRIERS, OR ANY PROBLEMS THAT WE MAY NEED TO ADDRESS IN OUR SYSTEM ESTABLISH DISTRICT AND PROGRAMS TO VISIT OR RESEARCH.

THAT WAS SOME OF THE DATA THAT THE COMMITTEE ASKED FOR.

WELL, WHAT ARE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SURROUNDING DISTRICTS, AND OTHER PLACES? WHAT ARE THEY DOING INNOVATIVELY IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE REMOVING BARRIERS FOR STUDENTS? AND THEN BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO BRING SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD FROM THE COMMITTEE.

THAT'S REALLY IT JUST KIND OF UPDATING YOU ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THE WORK AND HAPPY TO FIELD ANY QUESTIONS.

SO LORI YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS ANSWER, BUT WHERE ARE WE IN THE CYCLE OF TEXTBOOKS IN TERMS OF A TEXTBOOK ADOPTION? AND IS THAT GOING TO BE A FACTOR AT ALL IN HOW WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE HIGHER LEVEL MATH THAT WE'RE OFFERING AND, AND TRENDS THAT WE MAY BE SEEING WITH THAT NEXT ROUND OF ADOPTION? YEAH, WE'RE A LITTLE WAYS AWAY FROM THAT.

I DON'T HAVE THAT DATE IN MY HEAD, BUT SCIENCE IS UP RIGHT NOW FOR ADOPTION, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I WOULD THINK WE'LL PROBABLY WIND UP COMING FORWARD WITH SO SORRY RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THAT TEXTBOOK ADOPTION.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD GAP YEARS WE'VE HAD TO FILL BECAUSE THE STATE MOVED THOSE DATES BACK.

SO WE'RE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, FOR SEVERAL SUBJECT AREAS.

FINALLY, SCIENCE IS UP.

WE'RE READY TO GO. THAT'S PART OF THIS YEAR.

BUT, IS THE MATH ROCKS CURRICULUM.

SOMETHING WE COMPLETELY CREATED? OR IS THAT SOMETHING FROM THE STATE? HAS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STATE CURRICULUM AND THIS WORK AND OVERLAP? SO WHEN I CAME TO ELEMENTARY ACADEMICS AND AS I WAS LEARNING ALL ABOUT MATH ROCKS, THAT WAS REALLY A CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH UTD AND THERE WAS A PROFESSOR THERE. TRYING TO REMEMBER HIS NAME.

[01:30:01]

THANK YOU THERESA.

THAT CURRICULUM WAS CREATED COLLABORATIVELY, ALONG WITH JULIA AND THE PROFESSOR THAT WAS THERE ON SITE.

WE STILL USE THAT CURRICULUM, BUT IT'S BEEN UPDATED, BUT JUST THE KIND OF THE INTENTIONALITY BEHIND IT AND THE FRAMEWORK THAT WAS USED IS STILL THERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY COMPACTING AND ACCELERATING A COUPLE OF YEARS, IN MATH ROCKS.

AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT FOR OBVIOUSLY ALIGNMENT WITH ANY NEW STANDARDS THAT TAKES PLACE.

BUT THAT'S NOT A SEPARATE PURCHASE NECESSARILY, THAT WE'VE MADE.

NOT TO SAY THAT THERE AREN'T SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TO SUPPORT IT, BUT IT'S NOT USUALLY GENERALLY PART OF THE ADOPTION.

I'M GETTING IN THE WEEDS AND I APOLOGIZE.

DO WE KNOW OF ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM THROUGH UTD OR WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE FINDING, YOU KNOW, BENCHMARK DISTRICTS TO LOOK AT? BECAUSE, I MEAN, THIS IS PRETTY FROM WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAYING, OUR MATH ROCKS IS A PRETTY UNIQUE THING FOR PISD.

I WE'VE NOT HAD ANY CONVERSATION WITH ANY OTHER DISTRICT THAT, HAS A PROGRAM LIKE THIS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, DISTRICTS LIKE WHEN GINGER AND WHITNEY BOTH GO TO THEIR, REGIONAL MEETINGS AND SO FORTH, THERE ARE FOLKS COMING TO THEM AND ASKING THEM ABOUT OUR ACCELERATION PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE FOR KIDS AND ASKING ABOUT THE CURRICULUM, ASKING ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR THE TEACHERS, HOW WE ORGANIZE IT.

YOU KNOW, ON CAMPUSES AND THAT SORT OF THING.

SO I DON'T KNOW OF ANOTHER AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S PARTNERING WITH UTD.

OUR PARTNERSHIP HAS KIND OF WANED JUST BECAUSE THE CREATOR OF THE PROGRAM IS NO LONGER THERE.

BUT WE STILL, HAVE TO WHEN THERE'S ANY KIND OF CHANGE IN THE STANDARDS AND SO FORTH, HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S IN THAT CURRICULUM AND REVISE IT AS WE WOULD WITH ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE WORK ON OVER THE SUMMER.

I THINK I SEE DOCTOR TYRA'S HAND UP.

SO FIRST, I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AND THANK YOU FOR THIS.

I MEAN, MATH IS SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL SKILL IN ENSURING THAT WE ARE OFFERING APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF RIGOR AND ACCELERATION. YOU KNOW, AND NOT JUST FOR THE 2% OR THE 98% I THINK IS VERY VITALLY IMPORTANT.

AND THAT'S WHAT PART OF THIS WORK IS TARGETED AT.

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED BY THIS PRESENTATION.

AND PART OF IT IS THAT YOU SHOW DATA ON HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS PERFORM COMPARED TO OUR GENERAL STUDENT POPULATION. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LIST OF LEADERS ON THE COMMITTEE, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MATH ROCKS CAMPUSES AND ALL OF THE PRINCIPALS ON THERE BEING ON MATH ROCKS CAMPUSES, ARE ANY OF THEM IN TITLE ONE CAMPUSES? ARE ANY OF THEM ON DUAL LANGUAGE CAMPUSES? ARE ANY OF THEM ON SPECIAL PROGRAMS, CAMPUSES LIKE HUFFMAN.

RIGHT. AND SO MY CONCERN WITH THIS IS IF I AM A STUDENT AT HUFFMAN AND I HAVE DONE IB FOR THREE YEARS OR FOUR YEARS, AND THEN I'M, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT MATH ROCKS.

DO I HAVE TO MOVE CAMPUSES? DO I LIKE I REALLY FUNDAMENTALLY BELIEVE THAT THE LARGEST AREA OF.

GROWTH AS YOU'VE IDENTIFIED FROM YOUR OWN DATA.

FOR MATH ACCELERATION IS CAMPUSES THAT WE DO NOT HAVE LEADERSHIP REPRESENTED ON THAT COMMITTEE AND I KNOW THAT YOU ADDRESSED THAT.

BUT I WANT TO STRESS IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MATH ROCKS.

I THINK THERE IS ALSO A QUESTION TO BE ASKED ABOUT THE TITLE ONE CAMPUSES, THE DUAL LANGUAGE CAMPUSES, AND, YOU KNOW, A SPECIAL PROGRAMS CAMPUS LIKE HUFFMAN AND UNDERSTANDING THE CAMPUSES THAT WE NEED TO SEE THE MOST GROWTH.

HOW CAN WE GET THOSE? LEADERS. LIKE, HOW CAN WE GET THE LEADERS OF THOSE CAMPUSES INTO THIS WORK TO IDENTIFY THEIR NEEDS, NOT JUST THE NEEDS OR THE THOUGHTS OF OUR NON TITLE ONE, NON DUAL LANGUAGE MATH ROCKS CAMPUSES.

YEAH I HEAR YOU FOR SURE.

AND WE REALIZED ONCE THOSE THE PRINCIPALS HAD SIGNED UP FOR INTEREST.

WE WENT WITH THAT FIRST AT THE FIRST MEETING AND REALIZED WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRINCIPALS ON HERE THAT ARE FROM TITLE CAMPUSES.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRINCIPALS THAT ARE ON HERE FROM A NON MATH ROCKS CAMPUS.

[01:35:04]

ONE THING THAT I HOPE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS IS THAT EVERY SINGLE YEAR WE LOOK AT DATA ACROSS THE BOARD FOR EVERY THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADER IN ELEMENTARY, HOPING THAT OUR NUMBERS INCREASE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE MEASURE THAT WE LOOK AT.

I KNOW THE CONCERN HAS BEEN THAT WE DON'T HAVE IT AT EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS.

WE HEAR THAT. AND SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ANALYZE AND CONSIDER WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS WORK FOR SURE.

SO WE WILL ADD SOME ADDITIONAL PRINCIPALS OR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS TO THIS FROM THOSE CAMPUSES.

SO WE HAVE A BETTER AND A BROADER REPRESENTATION FOR SURE.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MATH ROCKS, BUT THAT IS A BIG PIECE OF IT AS WELL BECAUSE WE HEAR CONCERNS OVER THAT.

IS THIS AN EQUITABLE PROGRAM.

SO WE WANT WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT.

SO I THINK YOU SAID THAT THE PRINCIPLES THAT YOU HAD LISTED ON THE PRESENTATION HAD VOLUNTEERED.

BUT YOU'RE WILLING TO ADD.

OH, YEAH, FOR SURE. AND IT'S JUST AN ASK.

I KNOW IF I CALLED AND SAID, HEY, WE NEED SOME REPRESENTATION ON THIS, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SERVE? THEY WOULD, WE'RE TRYING NOT TO SPREAD THEM TOO THIN.

AND I KNOW THAT WHEN WE SEND OUT THE ALL THE DIFFERENT WORK GROUPS THAT WE HAVE, I BELIEVE WE ASK THEM TO VOLUNTEER FOR THEIR TOP THREE.

I THINK IT IS.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT THAT FIRST, TRYING TO HONOR THEIR FIRST TWO CHOICES THAT THEY HAD AND WE'VE NOT REALLY GONE BEYOND RESEARCH AT THIS POINT.

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE MORE CRITICAL BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR CURRENT PATHWAYS, AND WE'RE ALREADY GATHERING THE DATA THAT THE TEAMS ASK FOR.

SO WE'LL HAVE THAT THERE AS WELL.

OKAY. AND I THINK THIS EVENING WE HEARD SOME PEOPLE TALK ABOUT SCIENCE PATHWAYS.

SO PERHAPS THAT'S A QUERY FOR THE FUTURE.

I WAS LISTENING, YES AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, I KNOW SOME OF OUR TEAM MET WITH THE PARENTS TODAY.

WE'VE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO DEBRIEF ABOUT IT.

SO IT'S ON THE RADAR, AND WE'RE ALREADY, TAKING A LOOK AT THOSE CONCERNS AND WORKING ON IT.

GREAT. YEAH. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE GOOD TO MOVE ON.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON.

THANK YOU LORI. OH.

YOU'RE WELCOME, MOVE ON TO ITEM 8.3 OF REPORTS.

[8.3 2022 Bond Program Update]

AND I WILL INVITE JOHNNY HILL TO INTRODUCE THIS.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CABINET.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO ASK MR. PEARSON TO COME AND DO THIS IS JUST A QUARTERLY UPDATE ON OUR BOND WHERE OUR BOND, PROJECTS ARE RIGHT NOW.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE WELL INTO THE DESIGN ON A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS.

AND SO HE'S GOING TO GO THROUGH.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, WHICH I THINK IS GOOD, JUST TO KEEP THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY INFORMED OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO, MR. PEARSON, TAKE IT AWAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

JOHNNY. GOOD EVENING.

I WAS HOPING I'M CHECKING TO SEE IF I'VE GOT MY LASER POINTER.

I THINK JAMES WALKER WAS GOING TO HOOK ME UP WITH KIND OF A LASERING EFFECT, SO I COULD POINT TO SOME THINGS. GIVE ME ONE SECOND HERE.

LEARNING THE COMPUTER.

OKAY. IT'LL BE BETTER IF I ONCE WE GET INTO THE PICTURES AND STUFF.

IF I CAN.

ACT LIKE I'VE GOT A LASER POINTER TO POINT AT THINGS.

THAT'LL WORK. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. OUR LAST BOND UPDATE WAS IN AUGUST.

AND TONIGHT WE'LL LOOK AT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE LAST BRIEFED.

YOU BETTER GET USED TO THE.

SORRY. OKAY.

TOGGLE. WE'RE STILL TRACKING ON THE FIVE PHASES DESIGNATED HERE.

ALL PHASE ONE PROJECTS, 30 PLUS PROJECTS HAVE ARCHITECTS ATTACHED, THE MAJORITY HAVE CONTRACTORS, AND ALL ARE IN SOME PHASE OF DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION I DID MAKE ONE ADJUSTMENT ON THE PHASE TWO BAND, PUSHING IT ONE QUARTER FORWARD SO IT'S NOW BEGINNING IN QUARTER ONE OF 2024 INSTEAD OF QUARTER FOUR OF 2023, THE PHASE LISTINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED, AND WE WILL GO ONE BY ONE THROUGH THOSE PROJECTS TONIGHT HITTING THE HIGHLIGHTS, PRIMARILY OF THE PHASE ONE PROJECTS.

AND THEN AT THE VERY LAST SLIDE, WE'LL KIND OF HIGHLIGHT OR KIND OF INDICATE TO YOU PHASE TWO THE PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING UP IN PHASE TWO.

[01:40:07]

CEILING GRID IS COMPLETE WITH LIGHT FIXTURES.

THE BATHROOMS ARE TILED WITH FIXTURES AND TOILET PARTITIONS ARE INSTALLED.

SO IT IS MOVING FORWARD.

THE MURPHY DISTRIBUTION CENTER EDITION HAS CMU WALLS UP THE STRUCTURAL STEEL IS IN PLACE AND RECENTLY COMPLETED THE METAL DECK, ROOFING STARTED THIS WEEK. THE PROJECT, LIKE JUPITER, HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT SHIFT IN SCHEDULE, WITH THE ADDITION EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE AND READY TO MOVE INTO IN LATE JANUARY.

BUT WITH THE HVAC COMPLETION TRAILING DUE TO LONG LEAD TIMES ON THE EQUIPMENT.

COMPLETION OF THE HVAC IS ANTICIPATED FOR APRIL THE WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL PHASE TWO RENOVATION.

THE CONTRACTOR OPENED SUB BIDS LAST WEEK, AND WE ARE ON TARGET TO REVIEW THOSE AND HAVE A GMP, A GUARANTEED MAX PRICE RECOMMENDED TO THE BOARD FOR JANUARY 16TH APPROVAL.

UPON THAT BOARD APPROVAL IN JANUARY, WE'LL START CONSTRUCTION IN FEBRUARY AND WILL BE IN A MULTI PHASE PROJECT UNTIL COMPLETION, JULY 2026.

THE CONTRACTOR CURRENTLY HAS IT'S SPLIT INTO 11 PHASES.

THE GMP WILL INCLUDE AN ALLOWANCE TO RENOVATE THE HARRY RAWLINSON NATATORIUM NEXT TO WILLIAMS. THE DISTRICT WILL TAKE OWNERSHIP OF WHEN THE CITY'S FIVE YEAR EXTENSION OF THEIR 50 YEAR LEASE EXPIRES JANUARY 4TH, 2025, THE POOL, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, IS 25 YARDS AND HAS SIX LANES WITH A BUMP OUT FOR PRACTICE.

THE CITY OF PLANO SWIMMERS.

THE COPS.

I THOUGHT WHEN THEY TOLD ME AT FIRST THAT THE COPS WERE USING IT TO SWIM, I THOUGHT IT REALLY WAS THE COPS USING IT TO DIVE FOR BRICKS AND PICK THEM UP OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE SURFACE. BUT IT'S THE CITY OF PLANO.

SWIMMERS ARE CURRENTLY MAKING USE OF THE SPACE, AND THEY'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO US.

THEY'VE HAD A MEETING WITH JOHNNY IN HOPES THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH US.

BUT IT WILL ALSO BE A GOOD USE FOR PLANO ISD STUDENTS JUST TO LEARN AND, BASIC WATER SAFETY.

SOME OF THESE RENDERINGS, AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME OF THEM I'VE TRIED TO CHANGE THESE OUT EVERY TIME WE TALK.

SO ANOTHER RENDERING OF JUST KIND OF WHAT THE NEW HALLWAY, MAIN ENTRY WILL APPEARANCE WILL LOOK AS YOU GO DOWN THE MAIN CORRIDOR, WHICH WILL HAVE ALL THE CTE, COMPONENTS VISIBLE AS YOU WALK DOWN THE HALLWAY.

AND THEN JUST KIND OF A RENDERING OF THE THEATER SPACE.

CLASSROOM DOORS AND INJURY RESISTANT FILM AT ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

THAT PROJECT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOMS HAVE DOORS.

THE CONTRACTOR HAS A FEW PUNCH LIST ITEMS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS OFF AND COMPLETE THROUGH THE FALL BREAK.

THE ENTRY RESISTANT FILM.

NOT BULLET RESISTANT, BUT ENTRY RESISTANT FILM IS IN ALL LOCATIONS EXCEPT AT THE PEBBLE CREEK EARLY CHILD CARE ONE.

IF YOU REMEMBER THE EARLY CHILDHOOD, THE EARLY CHILD CARE SCHOOLS IN THE DAY CARE CENTERS WERE ADDED ON LATE THEY CAME UPON THE PEBBLE CREEK EARLY CHILD CARE CENTER AND REALIZED THAT THOSE DOORS, THOSE EXTERIOR DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE RESIDENTIAL.

MORE VINYL AND WERE UNABLE TO ACCEPT THE FILM AND MEET SPEC.

SO THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE REPLACING THEM WITH COMMERCIAL GRADE DOORS AND WINDOWS AND THEN ADDING THE FILM.

AND THAT PROJECT WILL BEGIN SUMMER OF 2024.

THE PLANO EAST AND WEST TRACK FENCING IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AT BOTH SITES.

IT'S THE SIX FOOT TALL ORNAMENTAL FENCE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO HERE.

SOME OF THE OUTSIDE SPORTS CLUBS ARE BEING CREATIVE WITH HOW THEY NOW ENTER A LOCKED FIELD.

I WANTED TO SHOW THAT PICTURE.

THESE CRATES WERE IN A WERE PULLED OUT OF A DUMPSTER AND DRAGGED A PRETTY GOOD DISTANCE FROM THAT SAID DUMPSTER AND STACKED NEXT TO THE FENCE TO GIVE THEM THAT KIND OF THAT ADDED BOOST. UP AND OVER.

NEW FENCE, NEW RULES.

IT'LL TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO, BUT DEFINITELY A GOOD INVESTMENT.

THE FENCING WAS ADDED TO OUR SENIOR HIGH FIELDS TO PROMOTE THE LONGEVITY OF THESE COMPETITIVE TURF FIELDS AND SYNTHETIC SURFACES FOR PLANO ISD STUDENTS.

I'M TALKING WITH ATHLETICS, I KNOW SCIENCE, THEY PLAN ON POSTING SIGNS, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY, TO JUST KIND OF REINFORCE THAT NOT CLIMBING AND A FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD MESSAGE, I UNDERSTAND HAS ALREADY BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL WALKERS AND JOGGERS TO DIRECT THEM TOWARDS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, WHICH WILL SOON ALL HAVE NEW SYNTHETIC TRACKS.

THE PLANO EAST AND SOFTBALL PLANO EAST.

LET'S START AT PLANO EAST PLANO EAST SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL TURF CONSTRUCTION BEGAN BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

REMOVING THE OLD TURF.

IT WAS A COMBO. YOU KNOW, I FORGET WHICH SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, BUT IT WAS HALF NATURAL AND HALF TURF.

ALL OF THAT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW TURF.

THE TURF AT THE SOFTBALL FIELD IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, AND A PUNCH LIST HAS BEEN GENERATED.

THESE PHOTOS, THOUGH, DON'T REALLY DO IT JUSTICE, BUT UPPER LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THE PANTHER LOGO AND CENTER FIELD AT THE BOTTOM, THE PANTHER SCRIPT

[01:45:02]

YOU DON'T REALLY SEE IT FROM HERE, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME AERIAL SOON.

IT'S MODE AND STRIPES OF TWO DIFFERENT GREENS.

AT THE BASEBALL FIELD, THE TURF CREW STARTED YESTERDAY.

THE CONTRACTORS ALSO HALFWAY COMPLETE WITH THE NEW METAL OUTFIELD FENCE THAT WAS ADDED ON BY A LATE CHANGE ORDER.

PLANO WEST SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL TURF.

THE TURF CREW ARRIVED THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER TO START WORK ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD, AND I RECEIVED PICTURES LATE YESTERDAY OF A NEW TURF FIELD LOOKING JUST AS GOOD AS THE PICTURES JUST SHOWN FOR PLANO EAST, INDICATING THEY WOULD BE, AND THAT THEY WERE INDICATING BEING WRAPPED UP BY TODAY.

THEY STILL NEED TO INSTALL THE METAL OUTFIELD FENCE AT SOFTBALL.

THE TURF CREW WILL MOVE OVER TO BASEBALL AFTER THAT.

PLANO EAST AND WEST ARE MOVING NECK AND NECK, BOTH ON SCHEDULE TO COMPLETE LATE JANUARY.

READY FOR THE SEASON JUST HAVING THESE TWO SLIDES NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

IN THE PRESENTATION, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW FINISHED VERSUS A LOOK AT SOME OF WHAT HAD TO BE DONE, WITH THE SUBGRADE TO GET IT TO THAT FINISH.

LOOK. BUT THEY ARE TRACKING THE SAME.

HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT PROGRAMING.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN PROGRAMING AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN, MEETINGS.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS FOR THE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND FOR THE PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH SHARE THE SAME SITE.

BUT WE DID GIVE IT TO ONE CONTRACTOR FOR CONSTRUCTION.

THEY'VE GOT THE ENTIRE SITE.

THE INTENT BEING TO HELP AID WITH THE DAY TO DAY LOGISTICS OF DELIVERIES, STORAGE, SECURITY, BUILDING ACCESS, TRAFFIC FLOW AND THE LIKE.

THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN ON SUCH A LARGE SITE AT BOTH LOCATIONS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SITE AMENITIES, AS YOU CAN SEE, BEYOND JUST THE BUILDING ITSELF AND SO WE RECENTLY MET AND BEGAN TO DEVELOP THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SEE HERE.

SO, HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRENTLY SITS RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

AND PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL FIELD CURRENTLY SITS HERE.

SO ONE OF THE FIRST MOVES, AS WE'VE MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS, IS THAT SOFTBALL FIELD IS GOING TO HAVE TO DROP DOWN AND ALLOW THE NEW HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL TO MOVE WEST. WHEN AS THEY BUILD THIS, YOU KNOW, AS THEY BUILD THE NEW HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THIS IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER RIGHT NOW, NOT CURRENTLY THE SHAPE OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, BUT AS THEY BUILD THIS ONE, THE EXISTING, THE EXISTING.

I GOT THIS THING TRACKING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THE EXISTING HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL IS GOING TO WORK AND OPERATE AS IT IS UNTIL THE NEW BUILDING IS COMPLETE.

AND THEN ONCE THE NEW BUILDING IS COMPLETE, THEY'LL DROP THE OLD ONE.

AND THEN IN ITS PLACE, AS YOU CAN SEE, WILL BE A NEW FOUR LANE SYNTHETIC TRACK FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL USE, NATURAL FIELD TURF IN THE MIDDLE.

AND THEN OVER HERE IS A 12 BLOCK TENNIS COURT WHICH WILL BE USED BY THE PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND WE'LL GET TO THAT WHEN I GET TO THAT SLIDE.

HAGGARD IS EXPECTED TO START CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER.

IT SHOWS DOWN HERE AND WE ARE CURRENTLY HOPING OR KIND OF AIMING AT DOING DESIGN AND HAVING IT OUT AND READY FOR FALL OF 2026. PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, ALSO IN THE PROGRAMING AND SCHEMATIC STAGE.

JOHNNY SENT EVERYONE THE FLY THROUGH THIS MORNING.

THAT THE ARCHITECT CORRIGAN PROVIDED BACK WHEN THEY INTERVIEWED.

I SCREEN GRABBED A COUPLE OF THOSE IMAGES FROM THAT FLY THROUGH AND PUT THEM HERE ON THE LEFT, AS YOU CAN SEE, AND I'LL FLIP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE SCREENS TO PROVIDE SOME OF THE CONTEXT. SO, SORRY, I'M READING MY DIALOG HERE.

THE MAIN ENTRY WILL BE A NEW, YOU KNOW, THIS NEW MAIN ENTRY, WHICH IS WHAT THIS VIEW IS RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS INDEPENDENCE DOWN HERE.

THIS NEW MAIN ENTRY SITS RIGHT HERE, AND IT WILL BE A NEW, CLEARLY MARKED, WELL DESIGNED, NEW FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE BUILDING AND WILL PROVIDE A CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILDINGS A AND B.

BUILDING C WILL BE REPLACED.

THIS IS BUILDING C RIGHT HERE.

KIND OF SHADOWED.

KIND OF HAS THIS, BOTTLE OR, POTION BOTTLE SHAPE THAT'S BUILDING C THAT'LL BE REMOVED AND A NEW TWO STORY BUILDING, AGAIN, LINKING BUILDINGS A AND B WILL BE PROVIDED ON THE BACK WITH A LIBRARY OR I'M SORRY, WITH CAFETERIA AND DINING ON THE LOWER FLOOR AND ON THE UPPER FLOOR IS LIBRARY.

WHEN THIS CLOSES, IT'LL CREATE THIS INTERIOR COURTYARD.

THIS IS KIND OF A VIEW OF THE INTERIOR COURTYARD, ALL NICELY LANDSCAPED AND TIERED FOR VARIABLE STUDENT USE.

AND THEN THIS LOWER PICTURE ON THE BACKSIDE IS THAT TWO STORY VOLUME LOOKING FROM THE POND BACK AT IT.

SO I CLICKED IT THE RIGHT WAY.

SO LOOKING, STANDING HERE AT THE POND AND LOOKING BACK IN THAT DIRECTION IS KIND OF THAT TWO STORY VOLUME LOOK.

ALONG WITH THOSE THE OTHER SHADED PIECE TO THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BEING TALKED ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS A NEW TWO FLOOR, TWO GYM FLOOR ADDITION RIGHT HERE.

IT'S GOING TO, THIS IS CURRENTLY THE GYM.

I'M SORRY. ONE PIECE I MISSED HERE THIS TWO STORY VOLUME THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WILL ALSO HAVE THESE LITTLE, LIKE, CONNECTOR LEGS ENCLOSED, FULLY ENCLOSED, THAT WILL PROVIDE INTERIOR CONNECTIONS TO, E AND F.

[01:50:03]

THE OTHER ADDITION, THIS IS THE CURRENT COMPETITIVE GYM GOT LOCKER ROOMS. AND SO, YEAH, WE'RE PROVIDING TWO NEW GYM FLOORS HERE AT THIS LOCATION HERE, WHICH WILL ALSO BE A STORM SHELTER FOR THE CAMPUS.

IT WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF THE CURRENT BAND MARCHING FIELD, WHICH WILL RELOCATE TO THIS LOCATION HERE, CLOSER TO THE FINE ARTS BUILDING.

SO LESS OF A WALK AS THEY COME ACROSS AND DO THEIR THING OVER HERE.

AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE SOFTBALL FIELD THAT WAS HERE RELOCATES DOWN HERE.

IT BECOMES MORE OF A COMPLEX.

WITH THE BASEBALL FIELD, IT'LL HAVE KIND OF A ENTRY POINT, CONCESSION STAND, LOCKER ROOM.

WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING THERE? LOCKER ROOM. GOING OFF MY NOTES NOW? BUT IT'LL BE KIND OF MORE OF AN ENTRY POINT.

NEW TURF, YOU KNOW, LIKE, WE'VE SEEN IT, EAST AND WEST.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IT WILL ALSO GET NEW TURF AT THESE LOCATIONS.

BASEBALL FIELD WILL MOST LIKELY SIT WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN RETURFED YET BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT WAS GOING TO PLAY OUT.

AND IT WILL GET ITS NEW TURF.

AS PART OF THIS, ATHLETICS IS ALSO REQUESTING AS MANY MORE ATHLETIC FIELDS AS POSSIBLE.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIT ANOTHER ONE HERE, MAYBE A LITTLE HALF FIELD IF POSSIBLE.

THIS IS THEIR EXISTING COMPETITIVE SYNTHETIC TRACK AND TURF FIELD.

IT WILL STAY THERE.

AND IF WE CAN MAKE ONE OF THESE, TURF FIELD AS WELL, THAT'S KIND OF THE IDEA TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER, ALL WEATHER, FIELD TO PRACTICE ON.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT LAST THING, TENNIS COURTS ARE CURRENTLY RIGHT HERE AROUND THE BUILDING.

I THINK THERE'S LIKE EIGHT, 8 TO 10 MAYBE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET 12 KIND OF IN A BLOCK WITH THE ABILITY FOR, SEATING RIGHT HERE, YOU KNOW, COUPLE STANDS RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER. AND IT WILL ALSO KIND OF BE FENCED AND HAVE KIND OF AN ENTRY POINT THAT WILL INCLUDE RESTROOMS AND STORAGE. HEY, TONY, COULD I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION? ABSOLUTELY. ON THAT NEW BUILDING C, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THE CAFETERIA AND THE LIBRARY.

DOES THAT HAVE TO HAVE STORM SHELTER REQUIREMENTS, TOO? IT WILL NOT. THIS STORM SHELTER THAT IS BEING BUILT IS PART OF THE CAMPUS.

OVERALL WILL WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO HOUSE THE ENROLLMENT.

PERFECT. OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION.

NANCY, MAY I ASK IT, HOW MANY PARKING PLACES? HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS ARE WE LOSING WITH THIS? BECAUSE ISN'T THE WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THE.

I'M THINKING, IS THAT NOT WHERE THE STORM SHELTER IS OR WHERE THE NEW SOFTBALL FIELD ISN'T THEIR PARKING THAT'S BEING TAKEN UP.

THERE. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALL SO WITH THE SOFTBALL FIELD IS TAKING UP, IS CURRENTLY AN EXTENSION OF THE FOOTBALL OR SOCCER FIELD.

SO IT'S NOT TAKING UP ANY PARKING RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. IT'S VERY IT'S GOT VERY LIMITED PARKING HERE I THINK WE'RE ADDING AND I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME BEING ADDED FOR THE TENNIS LOCATION AS WELL.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE LOSING SPOTS.

IF YOU'VE GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY, I CAN ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, AS WE FURTHER DEVELOP THIS, I'LL CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO LOSE ANY.

SO WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THE BAND MARCHING FIELD.

IS THAT CAN THAT DOUBLE UP AS PARKING OR IS THAT NOT PARKING.

THAT'S MAKING IT A SPECIAL SPOT.

THAT'S WHERE I WAS. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS CURIOUS.

IS THAT CORNER? YEAH. THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED WHILE WE WERE SETTING THIS UP IN.

I THINK THE FEELING WAS THAT, NO, IT DOES NEED TO BE DESIGNATED FOR THE BAND MARCHING FIELD, JUST AND KIND OF DESIGNATED THAT WAY.

SO IT WILL NOT BE PARKING.

OKAY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THAT LONE CAR BEING PARKED THERE AND THEN HAVING TO MARCH AROUND IT.

RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT.

BACK TO ITS TIMELINE.

EXPECTED CONSTRUCTION START IS NOVEMBER 2024.

SO SOMETIME AROUND THIS TIME NEXT YEAR AND THEN MULTI PHASE CONSTRUCTION, A LONG PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION, IT WILL REQUIRE PORTABLES AT THIS SITE TO MULTI-PHASE IT THROUGH SUMMER OF 2028.

EARLY CHILDHOOD SCHOOL KITCHEN DINING ADDITIONS AT BEATY ISAACS IN PEARSON.

NO RELATION, THESE GUYS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT.

WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH FOOD SERVICE KITCHENS AND THE PRINCIPALS, ALL BEEN GREAT, GOT A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION.

AND WE'VE REALLY COME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, BEATY AND PEARSON SHARE A FLOOR PLAN AND ISAACS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT THEY'RE ALL SIMILAR.

IT'LL THEY DON'T HAVE KITCHENS NOW.

THESE EARLY CHILDHOOD SCHOOLS. DON'T HAVE KITCHENS NOW.

AND THEY WILL GET A BRAND NEW KITCHEN THAT WILL SERVE THE CAMPUS.

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SERVE OUT OF IT, COOK OUT OF IT, AND THAT'S THE IDEA.

SO IT'LL BE ALL NEW. WELL, ALL.

YEAH. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY. THEY'VE GOT A LIMITED EQUIPMENT.

IT'LL BE ALL NEW EQUIPMENT.

THE ACTIVITY ROOM THAT EXISTS NOW WILL BE THEIR DINING SPACE.

AND THEY'LL BE CREATING THIS KIND OF NEW ACTIVITY ROOM, KIND OF SIMILAR IN SIZE.

AND THAT'S KIND OF THE SCOPE OF IT.

WE HAVE SEEN SOME COLOR PATTERNS TO, AGAIN, KEEPING IT FUN FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS.

THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE THERE.

THEY'RE HOPING TO GET THOSE DRAWINGS OUT, AS SAID, BY SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR OR.

I'M SORRY, THEY'RE GOING TO GET THOSE STUMBLING.

[01:55:04]

WE'LL HAVE A GMP BACK IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS, THE BOARD IN JUNE, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL START JUNE 2024 AND COMPLETE SEPTEMBER 2025.

CENTENNIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

KITCHEN RENOVATION ADDITIONS WERE IN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ON THAT ONE WITH STANTEC.

THE ARCHITECT IS AIMED AT HAVING DRAWINGS FINALIZED AND OUT FOR BID BY FEBRUARY.

THIS IS A CSP PROJECT, SO WE WON'T HAVE A GMP.

WE'LL BE RECOMMENDING A CONTRACTOR AND A NUMBER AT THAT TIME AND THEN START CONSTRUCTION SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

AFTER THAT BOARD APPROVAL IN MARCH AND THEN COMPLETION, NOVEMBER OF 2024.

CLARK HIGH SCHOOL, KICK OFF MEETING WAS HELD TO IDENTIFY THE SCOPE.

NEXT WE GOT TO GET CORGAN OUT TO DO SOME SITE WALKS WITH THEIR CONSULTANTS TO INSPECT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

THEY'RE ANTICIPATING ISSUING BID DOCUMENTS AT THE END OF SUMMER 2024.

AND THE CONTRACTOR THAT WILL GIVE CONTRACTOR TIME TO PROCURE MATERIALS IN THE WINTER AND SPRING.

WITH CONSTRUCTION BEING COMPLETED OVER THE SUMMER OF 2025.

THE MAJOR HEAVY LIFTING OF THIS PROJECT IS THE TWO GYM FLOORS, WHICH ARE KIND OF GOT AREAS OF SAGGING, IF NOT COMPLETELY.

WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO TEAR IT DOWN, THEY'RE GOING TO TEAR THE SLAB FLOOR DOWN TO GRADE BEAMS, I GUESS, AND REPORT AND THEN THAT'LL BE ALL NEW FLOORING.

AND THEN THEY'LL MATCH THAT UP TO THE NEW ATHLETIC REALIGNMENT WITH THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER.

MULTIPLE PROGRAM MEETINGS WERE CONDUCTED WITH DISTRICT STAFF AND HUCKABEE TO DESIGN AN INITIAL LAYOUT AND TO DETERMINE THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

UH PLANO HOSTED AN EVENING IN EARLY NOVEMBER, ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS TO GATHER THEIR INPUT AND DISCUSS THE DESIGN AS IT RELATED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS, TRYING TO GET THAT BUY IN. DOCTOR WILLIAMS LEADERSHIP IN THE DISTRICT CTE DEPARTMENT CONTINUE TO LEAD A PROJECT THAT WILL BE CUTTING EDGE AND FUTURE FOCUSED, WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING PLANO ISD STUDENTS WORKFORCE READY, WORKFORCE AND CAREER READY.

I'M SORRY.

WE RECENTLY DID BUY A PIECE OF PROPERTY THIS 15 ACRE PLOT OF LAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ALMA.

THIS IS ALMA HERE AND PARK.

UM, TO PUT IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE IN LOCATION, IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.

UH, OUR FINE ARTS BUILDING IS KIND OF OFF THE PAGE OVER HERE.

ROUNDABOUTS. PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT.

MAYBE RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

AND THEN OUR ACADEMY, WHICH MATCHES THE SHAPE OF THIS, WHAT I STILL CALL THE HARLEY DAVIDSON BUILDING IS RIGHT ABOUT HERE.

SO WE'VE GOT THIS.

ALL THIS PIECE OF LAND RIGHT HERE IN THE GREEN.

IT DOES HAVE A RACETRACK RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF THAT, BUT WE ARE WE'VE BEEN MEETING AGAIN WITH HUCKABEE ARCHITECTS AND, GOING THROUGH DESIGN PIECES THAT WILL HAVE A BUILDING THAT WILL HAVE A NICE, ENTRY VIEWS WILL HAVE NICE MAIN ENTRY VIEW OFF OF ALMA, SECONDARY ENTRIES OFF OF PARK, AND WE'RE CURRENTLY KIND OF YOU KNOW WE HAD SOME MASSING AND ORIENTATION STUDIES WITH THEM THIS AFTERNOON THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING A LOT OF INTERESTING.

I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY SPECTACULAR ONCE WE SETTLE IN ON ANY ONE OF THEIR MANY, MANY CHOICES.

ON SCHEDULE THIS ONE'S EXPECTED TO START, CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER OF NEXT YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE IT OPEN BY FALL OF 2026.

IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH TIME WISE? I FEEL I'M GOOD.

OKAY. PLANO WEST SENIOR HIGH, RENOVATION.

NOW, IT'S REALLY BEYOND JUST BUILDING A.

THE PLANO WEST SENIOR HIGH RENOVATION IS NOT AS EXTENSIVE A RENOVATION AS PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WE LOOKED AT BEFORE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING A MAJOR RENOVATION WHERE ALL COMPONENTS OF THE BUILDING AND ALL, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE BUILDING IS BEING LOOKED AT AND WE'RE ADDING EVERYWHERE.

PLANO WEST IS REALLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN CALLING KIND OF A SURGICAL STRIKE OF JUST KIND OF PARTICULAR POINTS THAT NEED TO BE HIT.

SO PLANO WEST THERE'S TALK RIGHT NOW POTENTIALLY FOR THE BUDGET.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A CMA ARE ON BOARD NOW, HELEN WILKINSON, WHO'S GOING TO BE SPENDING THE HOLIDAY TIME WITH THESE KIND OF DRAWINGS HERE, THESE SCHEMATIC DESIGN DRAWINGS THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED, BASICALLY DOING INITIAL ESTIMATES TO DETERMINE IF WE'RE STILL ON TRACK FOR BUDGET.

BUT THE IDEA IS THAT THE MAIN ENTRY, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE CURRENTLY AT WEST, COULD FLIP TO THIS LOCATION HERE.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO WEST BEFORE, I THINK THE IDEA IS IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING ON WHERE THE MAIN ENTRY IS.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT, AND YOU CHOOSE TO GO RIGHT, AND YOU'RE WRONG.

AND SO THE IDEA IS TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE GIVE IT A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE IT A MAIN ENTRY, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING, COACH KIMBROUGH [INAUDIBLE] AND SOMETHING MAJESTIC, MAYBE OFF OF THIS LOCATION HERE.

SO THAT'S ONE OPTION.

THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK TO CONNECT BUILDING A AND B, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE TOUCHING, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE OF A TO GET INTO B.

SO, LOOK AT AN INTERIOR CONNECTION BETWEEN A AND B.

A COUPLE POINTS.

THIS THIS CAMPUS IS ALSO GETTING THAT NEW TWO GYM FLOORS ADDED TO ITS GYM ADDITION.

[02:00:04]

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS RENDERING IS SHOWING AS WELL.

JUST KIND OF WHAT A NEW ATHLETIC GYM ENTRY APPEARANCE COULD LOOK LIKE.

AGAIN, A LOT OF JUST KIND OF YOU KNOW, KIND OF GOING THROUGH SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND KIND OF DEVELOPING SOME IDEAS AND SOME THOUGHTS ON IT RIGHT NOW, JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S TO BUDGET. BUT THAT ONE IS, IT'S MOVING AND MOVING TOWARDS A, THIS IS THEIR NUMBERS.

AUGUST 8TH.

AUGUST. SORRY 2024.

CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION.

TWO YEARS AFTER THAT. IN AUGUST OF 2026.

PLANO EAST SENIOR HIGH.

SAME. I'LL KIND OF KEEP THIS ONE SHORTER, BUT THE SAME AS WEST SURGICAL STRIKE.

YOU KNOW, NOT AS BIG AS PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATION.

AGAIN, WHAT I'M HIGHLIGHTING HERE IN THESE PICTURES ARE JUST SOME POTENTIAL RENDERINGS OF WHAT THEIR NEW GYM ENTRY COULD LOOK LIKE AS WELL.

IT DOES HAVE SOME OTHER SYSTEMS AND COMPLIANCE COMPONENTS, YOU KNOW, CEILING AND LIGHTS THROUGHOUT ALL BUILDING BE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF UPGRADED TO LED.

YOU KNOW, UPGRADE TO CHILLER PLANT AND HVAC CONTROLS.

BUT THIS IS THE MORE KIND OF SHOWY STUFF THAT YOU'LL SEE, WHEN YOU GO THERE AND IT'S, AGAIN, LIKE THE OTHER TWO CAMPUSES.

IT'S GOING TO RELOCATE SOME TENNIS COURTS AND PROVIDE A 12 COURT BLOCK.

IT'S GOING TO ADD TWO NEW GYM FLOORS AND KIND OF LOOK TO CONNECT THE STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE EXISTING GYMS AND LOCKER ROOMS. THEY'RE ON THE PATH FOR NOVEMBER 2024, AND AGAIN, A TWO YEAR PROJECT.

BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY WRAPPED UP SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

AND AGAIN, THAT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, CADENCE MCSHANE, ON THIS ONE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SPENDING TIME WITH IT THIS HOLIDAY.

DOING, YOU KNOW, SETTLING IN ON THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN DELIVERABLES THAT WE'VE HANDED OVER TO HIM AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TRACKING WITH BUDGET.

CITIZEN COMPLIANCE PHASE ONE.

I COULD DO PICTURES HERE, BUT IT MOSTLY BE CEILINGS OR ABOVE CEILINGS AND STUFF BUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK STILL.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS STUFF TO KEEP ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ON TOP OF THINGS, MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET BEHIND ON ON THINGS.

AND SO WITH FACILITIES, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DEVELOPED A LOT OF THIS STUFF WHERE WE'RE GOING INTO THESE CAMPUSES AND REPLACING CHILLERS AND HVAC AND SOMETIMES FLOORING THROUGHOUT, CEILING UPGRADING TO LED.

SO, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHETHER OR NOT ANYBODY'S GOT REALLY QUESTIONS ON THAT, I WON'T SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON THAT.

THE DISTRICT IRRIGATION MASTER CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROBABLY LARGE.

I MEAN, IT'S ALL ENCOMPASSING.

IT'S ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES, BOTH SCHOOLS AND BUILDINGS, AND IT'S TO GET THEM OFF THE BUILDING MASTER CONTROL SYSTEM AND PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, ITS OWN IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR BETTER CONTROL OF WHEN WATER CAN BE TURNED ON AND OFF AT A CAMPUS AND POTENTIALLY SAVE MONEY.

SO THAT'S GOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE WORTHY? EXCITING. A LOT OF THESE, AGAIN, ALREADY HAVE CONTRACTORS INVOLVED.

WE'VE TAKEN AND GOT APPROVED BY CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

SOME OF THESE, LIKE BEVERLY, AND THEN WE'LL BE LOOKING TO TAKE SOME OUT IN JANUARY AS WELL.

SO THERE'S ONLY A FEW THAT STILL HAVE YET TO BE DETERMINED AS WE KIND OF AGAIN, JUST KIND OF FINALIZE SCOPE AND GET IT TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE, WHERE WE CAN GET A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD AND GET A NUMBER.

THEN WE'RE IN THE PLAYGROUNDS.

PHASE ONE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE BASICALLY GOING OUT TEN AT A TIME.

YOU KNOW, ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ALL 44 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS FOR FIVE PHASES, ROUGHLY TEN CAMPUSES AT A TIME.

IF WE CAN, YOU DO THE MATH.

PLAYGROUND. THE THIS ONE HERE IS INNOVATIVE SPORT SURFACING WITH CEI AS THE ENGINEER.

WE'VE GOT ALDRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND STENSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THESE ARE JUST THE UPPER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS.

THE LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE BY FACILITIES EARLIER.

SO THESE ARE THE UPPER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS.

AND RIGHT NOW THESE PICTURES ARE JUST SHOWING THAT THE FACT THAT THE EXISTING EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DEMOED.

BUT THE CONTRACTOR IS ON SITE AT BOTH LOCATIONS.

THE NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE SITES AND THEY ARE DOING THE FOUNDATION WORK, DROPPING PIERS IN THE GROUND AND GETTING READY TO, GET THE SUBGRADE READY FOR THE NEW TURF.

THAT WILL BE ON THESE PLAYGROUNDS.

ANOTHER ROUND OF PHASE ONE PLAYGROUNDS.

THIS ONE WITH THE DIFFERENT ENGINEER.

THAT'S WHY I'M SHOWING DIFFERENT PICTURES WITH [INAUDIBLE].

I BELIEVE THIS IS LIKE SIX.

YEAH. SIX CAMPUSES DOWN HERE.

THESE ARE BOTH UPPER AND LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A VISUAL OF WHAT THE NEW PLAYGROUND SYSTEM WILL LOOK LIKE WITH THE ARTIFICIAL GRASS TURF, ADA COMPLIANT PLAYGROUNDS, BOTH UPPER AND LOWER UNITS.

WE'LL GET SIX CAMPUSES HERE.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

WE'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO THREE AT A TIME FOR THOSE.

WE'VE ONLY GOT BOWMAN, ROBINSON, AND WILSON OUT WITH A CONTRACTOR RIGHT NOW.

HELLER'S THE SAME GUYS THAT GO AND DO FOOTBALL FIELD TURF AND STUFF.

THEY'RE DOING THOSE FOR US AS WELL.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE JUST KINDA THEY'RE IN THE TEAR UP PHASE RIGHT NOW.

THEY'VE GOT, FENCING.

SORRY. THEY'VE GOT FENCING AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

KEEP THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OUT FOR PROTECTION STUFF.

BUT THEY'RE BUSY, GETTING IT, YOU KNOW, SOIL CONDITIONING AND GETTING IT READY.

[02:05:05]

THEY'RE ON TO HAVE THAT COMPLETED FEBRUARY 2024.

AND THEN, JUST AS MENTIONED BEFORE, JUST KIND OF A HINT AT PHASE TWO WORK.

SO WE'LL START HERE AT THE BOTTOM JUST BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE LAST SLIDESHOW MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS.

PHASE TWO WILL HAVE ANOTHER THREE TRACKS, ANOTHER THREE MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS GOING OUT.

UM PHASE PLAYGROUNDS.

PHASE TWO WILL HAVE ANOTHER TEN PLAYGROUNDS, UPPER AND LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS.

SO THIS IS A COMPLIANCE PHASE TWO WORK HAS ABOUT ANOTHER EIGHT PROJECTS IN IT AS WELL.

AND THEN THESE ARE INDIVIDUALLY CALLED OUT.

YOU KNOW WE'LL HAVE WORK AT TRANSPORTATION BUILDING ADDITION RENOVATION.

KIND OF GIVE IT A NEW BUS BARN.

SO WORK AT THE PLACE WHERE I WORK OUT OF THE SERVICE CENTER RENOVATION.

WE'LL DO SOME WORK AT THE FRANKFURT MIDDLE SCHOOL KITCHEN AND THEN THE HIGHTOWER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KITCHEN ADDITION RENOVATION AGAIN, ALL LOOKING TO HOPEFULLY GET AN ARCHITECT ENGINEER ON BOARD SOMETIME IN JANUARY, MAYBE EVEN FEBRUARY IF IT KICKS OUT LATE.

AND THAT'LL START THE DESIGN PROCESS.

AND THEN NEXT TIME WE MEET FOR A BOARD UPDATE, I'LL HAVE MORE IN TIME WITH TIMELINES AND MAYBE SOME MAYBE NOT PHOTOS JUST YET, BUT TIMELINES OF WHEN WE PLAN ON GETTING THIS WORK DONE. DO I HAVE A QUESTION? SLIDE. IT IS THAT TIME FOR QUESTIONS? OKAY. NO QUESTIONS.

DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT? I DO HAVE A COMMENT BECAUSE I THINK IT COMES UP AND I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS IT.

YOU KNOW, EVERY QUARTER WE ARE TRYING TO DO, UPDATES WITH OUR BOARD.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING ON OUR BOND PROJECTS.

WE HAVE OVER 30 RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THE QUESTION COMES UP SEVERAL TIMES.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOWED, THE CTE CENTER AND HOW WE PURCHASED LAND FOR THAT.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HAVING CONSIDERATIONS AND TALKS ABOUT LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING.

ONE REASON WHY WE DECIDED TO DO THAT.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I THINK THE BOARD ALL KNOWS THIS.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE.

IF WE WOULD OF WAITED TO MAKE THAT DECISION UNTIL, AFTER ALL THE LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING WAS DONE, WE WOULD HAVE LOST QUITE A BIT OF COST OF CONSTRUCTION DUE TO CONSTRUCTION INFLATION.

CONSTRUCTION INFLATION IS RUNNING ABOUT 6 TO 8%.

DURING COVID, IT SPIKED ALL THE WAY UP TO ABOUT 18%.

SO IF YOU WAIT AND MAKE THAT DECISION, THEN YOU LOSE.

OUT OF $100 MILLION PROJECT, YOU LOSE 10 TO $12 MILLION OF BUYING POWER.

AND SO IT'S AN ECONOMIC DECISION.

WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE LAND THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DISTRICT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY THE CTE WILL BE USED BY ALL OF THE STUDENTS, WHETHER THEY'RE ON THE EAST OR THE WEST SIDE.

SO IT WAS ECONOMICAL.

IT WAS A GOOD DECISION FOR THE DISTRICT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT QUESTION COMES UP, AND I KNOW WE'VE EXPLAINED IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I NEED TO KEEP EXPLAINING THAT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT TO THE BOARD.

IT'S A GOOD INFORMATION.

I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS, ACTUALLY IF I COULD TWO FOR TONY AND ONE FOR JOHNNY.

SO THE FIRST IS ON CLARK.

YOU SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THE GYM FLOORS.

THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE SCHOOL THAT HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, VARIANCE IN THE GRADE OF THE FLOORING.

IS THIS ARE WE ONLY ADDRESSING THE GYM FLOORS OR ARE WE IS THERE A PROJECT IN ANOTHER PHASE OR IN THIS PHASE? IT'S ALL IN THIS PHASE.

OKAY, CLOSER TO THE MIC.

BUT YEAH, IT'S KIND OF MORE LISTED ON THE SLIDE.

AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T READ THAT ONE.

BUT YEAH, WE GOT STRUCTURAL REPAIRS IN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION AREA, WHICH I BELIEVE IS KIND OF MORE.

YEAH, KIND OF ON THEIR BAND PRACTICE FIELD SIDE.

THE TENNIS COURT SIDE.

THERE'S TWO INTERIOR STAIRS THAT NEED SOME WORK, SOME SIDEWALKS AND A RAMP ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT'S BY THE SCIENCE ADDITION, THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE DONE AS WELL AS THE GYM FLOORS.

PERFECT. AND YOU COVERED THIS.

BUT IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SORT OF HEARD YOU MENTION THIS OR THINK ABOUT IT ON THE SENIOR HIGHS, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO TRY AND ENCLOSE THOSE CAMPUSES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT. SO CREATE PATHWAYS BETWEEN BUILDINGS AND THEN EVEN ENCLOSED COURTYARDS SO THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT OUT, YOU KNOW, FACING THE STREET, FOR EXAMPLE, TRYING TO GET BETWEEN CLASSES AND BOTH A SAFETY AND A WEATHER ISSUE IS THAT, AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY THAT'S SORT OF A CONSCIOUS DECISION YOU ALL ARE MAKING WITH SENIOR HIGH RENOVATIONS GOING FORWARD? YEAH, I DID MENTION IN A COUPLE OF THESE WHETHER OR NOT IT IS MENTIONED AND I THINK I HAVE HEARD IN TERMS OF IT BEING KIND OF A SAFETY THING, SO YES, I THINK AS MUCH BUILDING CONNECTION AS THEY CAN PROVIDE, I THINK WHEN WE'VE SAT AND MET WITH THE PRINCIPALS AND

[02:10:02]

SO I THINK YEAH, IDEALLY THE GOAL YOU KNOW, MAYBE NOT CONNECT EVERYTHING.

THERE WILL STILL BE SOME YOU KNOW WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE STUDENTS DON'T ALL JUST KIND OF YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF FLOW OUT.

IT'S KIND OF IT'S GOT THAT NICE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOK AT ALL OF THESE CAMPUSES.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO STOP THE FLOW JUST BY PUTTING THESE BARRIERS UP, BUT ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF STAY WITHIN THE BUILDING IF THEY HAVE TO OR IF THERE WERE TO BE AN EMERGENCY ON THE CAMPUS, ALLOW THAT OPPORTUNITY.

GOT IT, SO MY LAST QUESTION IS FOR JOHNNY.

AND, YOU KNOW, IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, WE SOLD THE FIRST TRANCHE OF BONDS, AND GIVEN WHAT THE BOND MARKET LOOKS LIKE AND THE YIELDS AND THE INTEREST RATES AND, AND POTENTIAL ACTION BY THE FED NEXT YEAR, I WAS CURIOUS AT WHAT POINT YOU ANTICIPATE SELLING A SECOND TRANCHE OF BONDS TO HELP SUPPORT THESE PROJECTS, RIGHT.

BECAUSE WE SOLD LIKE 640 MILLION IN JANUARY.

SO WHAT'S OUR FORECAST ON WHEN WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO SELL A SECOND TRANCHE TO SUPPORT THE PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE, PHASE FOUR PROJECTS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO OBVIOUSLY WE TRY TO WHENEVER WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 PROJECTS FOR 4 AND A HALF REALLY THAT ARE UP CLOSE.

WE CALL THEM OUR LARGE PROJECTS THAT ARE OVER $100 MILLION.

JUST AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, BECAUSE OF THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION, WE TRY TO FRONTLOAD ALL THOSE BIG PROJECTS INTO PHASE ONE.

AS A RESULT, WE HAD A REALLY LARGE ISSUANCE THAT WE DID IN THIS LAST JANUARY, AND WE SOLD A LITTLE UNDER $700 MILLION THAT WOULD GET US THROUGH ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF THOSE PROJECTS, THOSE LARGE PROJECTS.

WE ANTICIPATE SELLING A SECOND PHASE IN JANUARY OF 25.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, BECAUSE, UH, IN 30 YEARS OF DOING THIS, IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WE MIGHT BE IN AN ARBITRAGE SITUATION, WHICH SIMPLY MEANS THAT WE'RE EARNING, ARBITRAGE JUST SIMPLY MEANS YOU'VE GOT TO PAY THE IRS IF YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN WHAT YOU'RE PAYING IN INTEREST ON YOUR BONDS.

AND WE'RE MAKING QUITE A BIT MORE RIGHT NOW THAN WHAT WE'RE EXPENSING OUT.

WHICH IS GREAT.

I MEAN, THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT 700 MILLION THAT WE SOLD, IS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY HAVING TO PAY THE INTEREST NET INTEREST ON IT RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL BE ABLE TO SELL A SECOND ISSUANCE IN JANUARY, AND THAT SHOULD GET US THROUGH ABOUT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS.

AND THEN IF WE NEED TO COME BACK AND SELL A THIRD ISSUANCE, WE'LL DO THAT, IN ABOUT IT'D BE ABOUT 27 IS IF WE NEED TO DO A THIRD ONE. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE MARKETS ARE.

WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE WHEN WE ISSUED IN JANUARY BECAUSE WE ISSUED IT IN OUR NET EXPENSE ON INTEREST IS ABOUT 3.4%, WHICH IS IN MY OPINION, REALLY GOOD.

BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THAT IS, OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT A YEAR, THE FED WENT UP 11 TIMES ON THE INTEREST RATES.

AND IT REALLY HAPPENED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER THAT.

SO WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE.

WE'RE IN A REALLY GOOD SPOT.

WE'RE EARNING, ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO $5 MILLION A MONTH ON WHAT WE'RE EXPENSING OUT.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL HAVE TO PAY NET ARBITRAGE.

YOU SETTLE UP EVERY FIVE YEARS.

SO I FEEL REALLY GOOD.

WE'RE LIVING RIGHT ON HOW WE SOLD IT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY IT WAS OUR SMARTS, BUT TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE JUST.

THE TIMING WAS JUST REALLY GOOD.

AND SO I THINK WE'RE IN A GOOD POSITION.

I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO ACTUALLY GET ALL OF THESE BIG PROJECTS GOING INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND GO ABOUT TWO YEARS.

I'M HOPING I'M PERSONALLY HOPING THAT THE RATES WILL BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE FAVORABLE AS WE START TO LOOK AT THE JANUARY 25.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? TONY, I JUST PICTURE YOU RIDING, YOU UNICYCLE, SPINNING THOSE PLATES IN THE AIR.

YES. WITH ALL THESE PROJECTS YOU'VE GOT GOING ON.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU GUYS AND YOUR TEAM ARE DOING.

ABSOLUTELY. YES. WE APPRECIATE IT.

WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS JENNIFER REAGAN, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT TOPIC LIBRARY BOOKS.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

MY NAME IS JENNIFER AND I AM A PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT.

I AM HERE TODAY TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE RECENT BOOK REMOVALS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN OUR DISTRICT LIBRARIES.

THESE REMOVALS HAVE OVERTURNED DECISIONS MADE BY RECONSIDERATION COMMITTEES THAT WERE MADE UP OF LIBRARIANS AND TEACHERS WHO EVALUATED THE BOOKS AS A WHOLE.

THE FACT THAT THESE BOOKS WERE REMOVED THROUGH AN INTERNAL REVIEW PROCESS CONCERNS ME, AS IT IS UNCLEAR HOW THESE DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE, OR AT WHAT LEVEL OF DISTRICT LEADERSHIP THE REVIEW IS TAKING PLACE.

IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR IF THE BOOKS ARE BEING REVIEWED AS A WHOLE, AS IS REQUIRED BY BOARD POLICY.

I WOULD LIKE THE BOARD AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO PROVIDE MORE TRANSPARENCY ON THIS INTERNAL REVIEW PROCESS, SO THAT PLANO PARENTS CAN UNDERSTAND THE CRITERIA THAT IS BEING USED TO EVALUATE DISTRICT MATERIALS.

THANK YOU.

KRISTY TURNER, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT TOPIC LIBRARY.

BOOKS. THANK YOU ALL FOR EDUCATING MY CHILD.

I HAVE ONE REQUEST THIS EVENING, AND THAT IS THAT WE HAVE 66 BOOKS AT THE SENIOR HIGH LEVEL IN BOOK JAIL IN THIS DISTRICT.

THEY WERE ON OUR SHELVES. NOW THEY'RE BANNED.

PLEASE RELEASE ALL OF THESE BOOKS FROM BOOK JAIL AND REORIENT OUR PRIORITIES TOWARD MAKING MORE HEADWAY FASTER ON STUDENT LITERACY SKILLS.

AND HERE'S WHY FEWER THAN HALF OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS IN OUR DISTRICT CAN READ AT GRADE LEVEL.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.

HOW MANY OF OUR KIDS READ ON PURPOSE OR PAY ATTENTION TO BOOKS? THERE'S PLENTY OF SEXUAL CONTENT AND OTHER CONTENT AVAILABLE TO KIDS ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY GO GET IT.

IT'S PREVALENT, ACCESSIBLE TO THEM.

WE CAN'T PREVENT OUR KIDS FROM HAVING ACCESS TO CONTENT WE DON'T LIKE, OR WE DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE ACCESS TO.

[02:20:06]

JUDY NEAL, PLANO ISD RESIDENT TOPIC.

LIBRARY BOOKS.

I'M GOING TO START BY READING A QUOTE FROM DESMOND TUTU.

IF YOU ARE NEUTRAL IN SITUATIONS OF INJUSTICE.

YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE SIDE OF THE OPPRESSOR.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO APPLAUD YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE VOICES OF CONCERNED PARENTS WITH REGARD TO THE BOOKS THAT ARE IN OUR SCHOOLS.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT THAT THINK IT'S OKAY TO HAVE BOOKS THAT DEPICT RAPE, SODOMY, DISTURBING SEX ACTS, UNDERAGE SEX AND PEDOPHILIA.

IF PARENTS WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO READ THAT, THEN BY ALL MEANS LET THEM GO BUY IT.

BUT TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDREN.

GROOMING AND INDOCTRINATION HAVE NO PLACE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

THANK YOU. WILL CHANCE, PLANO ISD STAFF MEMBER.

TOPIC. LIBRARY BOOKS.

HELLO, I'M WILL.

I AM THE CTA AT VINES, AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF FACULTY WHO WERE ON THE BOOK RECONSIDERATION COMMITTEES, BUT DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE COMING OUT IN PUBLIC. TO VOICE THESE CONCERNS, FACULTY ON THESE COMMITTEES VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME, EXPERTISE, FOLLOWING THE TRAINING CAREFULLY LAID OUT BY, THE DISTRICT, THEY TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION BOOKS IN THEIR WHOLE FOLLOWING BOTH THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND DISTRICT POLICY RECONSIDERATION PATH WORKED, BOOKS WERE REMOVED, AND THOSE THAT WERE EITHER RE-LEVELED OR KEPT AT THEIR LOCATIONS WERE NOT MADE LIGHTLY.

DESPITE THIS TIME, EFFORT, EXPERTISE AND DECISIONS, THE BOOKS WERE OVERTURNED WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLANATION.

IT HAS BEEN SHOWN REPEATEDLY.

THE DISTRICT RELIED ON EXCERPTS FROM BOOKSHOP.ORG, A SITE RUN BY MOMS AGAINST LIBERTY, WHICH THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER IS LABELED AN ANTI-GOVERNMENT EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION. WE'RE VERY DISAPPOINTED, BUT WE'RE HOPING TO DO BETTER.

KARY WEEDEN, PLANO ISD PARENT, TOPIC SEL SCHOOL DAY WRAP AROUND PROGRAM.

PLANO ISD. SO YOU'RE GOING TO CLOSE SCHOOL CAMPUSES, BUT YOU'RE BUILDING A STUDENT, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES WRAPAROUND PROGRAM THAT IS BASED OFF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING.

SEL HAS NO PLACE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

PISD YOUR JOB IS TO TEACH ACADEMICS, NOT RAISE OUR CHILDREN BY TEACHING SEL IN THE SCHOOLS AND BUILDING THIS MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR WRAPAROUND PROGRAM.

YOU ARE BREAKING THE TRUST THAT PARENTS USED TO HAVE IN YOU.

PARENTS NO LONGER TRUST YOU PLANO ISD.

WE WANT TO RAISE OUR KIDS, AND WE WANT YOU TO STAY IN YOUR LANE AND TEACH ACADEMICS.

WE PARENTS ASK THAT YOU STOP BUILDING THIS WRAPAROUND PROGRAM AND INSTEAD REDRAW THE SCHOOL BOUNDARIES AND USE THE MONEY TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS OPEN.

MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE DFW AREA ARE ANNOUNCING THEY WILL HAVE TO CLOSE CAMPUSES DUE TO FAMILIES PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND HOME SCHOOLING.

PLANO ISD YOU ARE THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT WHO TELLS A PARTIAL TRUTH EXPLAINING LOW ENROLLMENT.

YOU SAY IT IS BECAUSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE AGING OUT AND HOMES ARE TOO EXPENSIVE.

BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT PARENTS ARE ALSO PULLING THEIR KIDS OUT OF PLANO ISD TO HOME-SCHOOL.

YOUR TIME IS UP.

LISA SCOTT, PLANO ISD PARENT STAFF MEMBER AND RESIDENT TOPIC LIBRARY BOOKS.

HELLO, I'M LISA SCOTT AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DR.

WILLIAMS, DR. FREEMAN, AND THE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD AND EXECUTIVE CABINET FOR LISTENING TO US TONIGHT.

ON OCTOBER 6TH, 2023, THE PISD COMMUNITY WAS SENT AN EMAIL REGARDING LIBRARY BOOKS AND EXPLICIT CONTENT.

THIS EMAIL WAS SENT AFTER A PARTICULARLY HEATED FORUM ON OPEN COMMENTS UNRELATED TO AGENDA ITEMS, NON AGENDA ITEMS THAT PERTAIN TO SCHOOL LIBRARY BOOKS MADE AVAILABLE FOR YOUNG STUDENTS OR YOUNG ADULT STUDENTS TO CHECK OUT AS THEY WISHED.

BOOKS AVAILABLE FOR YOUNG ADULT STUDENTS TO READ ON THEIR OWN VOLITION.

[02:25:02]

MEMBERS OF AN OUTSIDE GROUP WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DISRUPT OUR COMMUNITY PROCEEDINGS WITH THEIR RHETORIC, DO NOT REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS.

I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN SPEAKING ABOUT THESE STANDARDS SINCE I HAVE SERVED THIS COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY THE COMMUNITY SURROUNDING THIS BUILDING, FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

AFTER BEING APPROACHED BY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, BEING CONCERNED ABOUT OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP.

MICHAEL CONWAY PLANO ISD NONRESIDENT TOPIC LIBRARY.

BOOKS. GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

I GREW UP HERE. WEATHERFORD, HAGGARD, VINES AND PLANO SENIOR HIGH.

THERE ARE STILL BOOKS.

WHILE I APPRECIATE THE BOOKS THAT YOU HAVE REMOVED, THERE ARE STILL BOOKS TO BE REMOVED THAT UNLESS YOU ALL NEED TO HAVE SOME PEOPLE MORE READ PUBLICLY TO YOU TO MOTIVATE, HELP MOTIVATE. AND ON A SIDE NOTE, I ALSO ASK TO HAVE A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN REGARDS TO SAYING ANTI-SEMITIC, HAVING TROUBLE SAYING IT, AND LAUGHING WHILE DOING SO LAST MONTH, I WOULD APPRECIATE A PUBLIC APOLOGY BE MADE TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S VERY DISRESPECTFUL.

THANK YOU.

DENNIS LYNCH, PLANO ISD RESIDENT.

LIBRARY BOOKS.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU.

MY STANDING TO BE HERE.

I'M NOT A TEACHER. I'M A PARENT.

I HAD ALL MY KIDS GO THROUGH PISD K TO 12.

THEY HAD PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS WHO WERE EXCELLENT.

NOW MY GRANDKIDS ARE IN PISD AND I HAVE THE CONCERNS PRETTY MUCH TOWARDS THE LIBRARY TOO.

BUT CURRICULUMS. AND I TRUST THE JUDGMENT OF THOSE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS WAY MORE THAN THE LOBBYING EFFORTS OF OUT OF STATE, ORGANIZATIONS WITH RADICAL AGENDAS.

SO I WOULD HOPE MY HOPE HERE IS THAT IF YOU HAVE THE POWER TO BRING THE DECISION MAKING BACK INTO PLANO AND THE PLANO CITIZENS MAKE THESE DECISIONS.

THANK YOU. SUSAN LYNCH, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT.

TOPIC, LIBRARY BOOKS.

HI, I'M SUSAN LYNCH.

I MY HUSBAND DENNIS JUST SPOKE.

WE HAVE THREE KIDS WHO WENT THROUGH K THROUGH 12.

TWO GRANDKIDS AND TWO OF OUR KIDS, EXCUSE ME, ARE ALSO TEACHERS IN PISD.

AND ONE OF OUR CHILDREN IS ACTUALLY IN TAKING CLASSES TO BECOME A MASTER OF LIBRARY SCIENCES.

SO I ALSO DO TRUST THE LIBRARIANS, TO CHOOSE BOOKS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHILDREN OF APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR AGE AND THEIR SCHOOL LEVEL, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY GO TO SCHOOL FOR.

AND IT IS VERY INTENSE CURRICULUM, WHICH I OBSERVE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH MY CHILD WHO IS IN THAT CLASS.

AND SO I TRUST THEM TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE IN PLANO.

YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW THE KIDS HERE.

AND I LIKE MY HUSBAND.

I JUST HOPE WE CAN BRING THAT DECISION INTO PLANO AGAIN AND NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE HERE, DON'T PAY TAXES HERE, AND DON'T VOTE FOR, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT REPRESENT US.

THANK YOU.

MEGAN VECCHIO, PLANO ISD.

PARENT AND RESIDENT.

TOPIC. INTERVENTION AND ENRICHMENT.

PARENTAL RIGHTS, BEFORE I START, I HAD.

SOME THINGS I WANTED TO PASS OUT, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW I WANTED TO.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, SO CAN I.

OKAY.

DOES THAT GO AROUND OR DO YOU ALL KEEP IT? OKAY. OKAY. SORRY.

OKAY, SO I'M BACK TO TALK ABOUT IN THE NEW COURSE THIS YEAR.

IT'S REALLY CLEAR THAT YOU'RE USING IT FOR STAAR FAILURES, BUT HB 1416 STRENGTHENED THE PARENTAL OPT OUT RIGHT THIS YEAR . I OPTED MY KID OUT OF THE ACCELERATED INSTRUCTION.

AN ATTORNEY DRAFTED MY OPT OUT.

IT WAS IGNORED BY MY CAMPUS, WHAT I'VE GIVEN YOU IS A TEA RULING ABOUT PARENTAL RIGHTS AND ACCELERATED INSTRUCTION.

WHAT'S GONE ON IN MY INSTANCE, IS ILLEGAL.

I COULD HAVE FILED A GRIEVANCE OVER IT.

IT'S NOT OKAY THAT THIS CLASS IS BEING USED THIS WAY AND THAT OPT OUTS ARE BEING IGNORED.

SO I THINK PARENTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THAT.

AND IF THEY'VE OPTED OUT, THEY SHOULD CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR KIDS AREN'T STILL IN THOSE APPS.

[02:30:01]

I'D REALLY LIKE YOU ALL TO READ THAT.

LAST SPEAKER CODY WEAVER.

PLANO ISD RESIDENT TOPIC NON AGENDA ITEM.

SO TONIGHT WE HEARD ABOUT HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL STARTING THE RENOVATION IN OCTOBER OF 2024.

AND THAT'S A REALLY INTERESTING DECISION.

SEEING HOW AT A RECENT MEETING, WE HEARD THAT, ONLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERED, WHICH MEANS IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE REPLACED. THE REASON THOSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR CLOSURE IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE CAMPUS ENROLLMENT UNDER 65% OF THE CAMPUS CAPACITY.

WE HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

OUR DEMOGRAPHER HAS PREDICTED THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MORE SEVERE DECLINE IN ENROLLMENT THAN PROJECTED BEFORE.

NO EXPLANATION HAS BEEN GIVEN FOR THIS ACTION.

CONSIDERING ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION.

THE DECISION TO REPLACE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND MAINTAIN FIVE MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN A CENTRAL CLUSTER IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION, AND THIS IS A VIOLATION OF YOUR FIDUCIARY DUTY AND PUBLIC TRUST. THIS WILL RESULT IN BOND DOLLARS BEING UNNECESSARILY SPENT AND M&O DOLLARS BEING APPLIED, IN EFFECT, INEFFECTUALLY.

UH, THE PUBLIC DESERVES AN ANSWER.

I'M ASKING FOR AN ANSWER.

WHY ARE WE BUILDING THIS MIDDLE SCHOOL? AND HOW IS THIS FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

OR ANY FURTHER BUSINESS.

THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.

THE TIME IS 9:23 P.M.

ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12TH, 2023.
