THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CABINET.

THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS REGARDING REAL PROPERTY, SURPLUS OR REAL PROPERTY.

AS YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE, THE DISTRICT IS CURRENTLY DOING LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANNING.

AS A RESULT OF THIS PLANNING AND THIS WORK, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE DISTRICT WILL HAVE A SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY AS A RESULT OF THIS WORK.

THE DISTRICT, THROUGH THIS RESOLUTION, DESIRES TO IMPLEMENT A PROCESS WHEREBY REAL PROPERTY THAT IS DECLARED SURPLUS BY THIS BODY IS OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE CITY IN WHICH THE REAL PROPERTY IS LOCATED PRIOR TO ANY NOTICE OF A SEALED BID THEREAFTER.

OBVIOUSLY, ONCE THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE, THE DISTRICT WOULD WORK WITH THE CITY TO ESTABLISH TERMS SUCH THAT THE PROPERTY, IF SOLD, WILL BE USED FOR A PURPOSE THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY BENEFITS THAT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY AND SECURITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. HILL.

I WILL CALL ON JERI CHAMBERS TO PLEASE READ THE RESOLUTION.

WITH PLEASURE. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, SECRETARY CHAMBERS.

[LAUGHTER] THAT WAS A LOT.

I'M NOT GOING TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.

MAY I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING CERTAIN SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY.

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

THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY LAUREN TYRA, VICE PRESIDENT, A SECOND BY KATHERINE GOODWIN THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING CERTAIN SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I HAVE SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE ALL OF THESE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHERE WE HAVE HAD STAFF THERE.

WE'VE HAD THREE TRUSTEES AT THESE MEETINGS TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS LONG RANGE FACILITY PLAN PROCESS.

AND YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN PEOPLE SHOWING UP TO LOBBY FOR WHATEVER CAMPUS THEY WANT TO LOBBY FOR, WHICH WE'VE HAD A LOT OF AND I'M SO GLAD MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY LOVE THEIR CAMPUSES SO MUCH.

SO THAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUST FILL YOUR HEART ABOUT HOW MUCH SOME OF OUR FAMILIES REALLY LOVE THEIR CAMPUSES.

BUT THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN OUTSIDE OF IS IT GOING TO BE MY SCHOOL THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY IN THIS PROCESS IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ANY SURPLUS PROPERTY? AND, YOU KNOW, AND USUALLY CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY PLEASE DON'T LEAVE AN OLD BUILDING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I HAVE ENJOYED IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS BEING ON THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE CITY OF PLANO CLOSELY.

I KNOW WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY, WE WORK WITH ALL OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES, OUR, YOU KNOW, MURPHY AND PARKER AND DALLAS AND RICHARDSON AND AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE SUCH EXCELLENT COOPERATION WITH ALL OF OUR CITIES.

AND I HOPE THAT THE PUBLIC APPRECIATES THAT THIS RESOLUTION IS AN EFFORT TO TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE HEARD AT THOSE MEETINGS AND DIRECTLY STATE THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN THE LONG TERM OUTCOMES OF WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY PROPERTY THAT POTENTIALLY MAY BE DECLARED SURPLUS, AND THAT WE ARE HEARING YOUR FEEDBACK AND WE ARE RESPONDING WE HOPE IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT WE'RE DETERMINED TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THESE BUILDINGS, FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, FOR THE CITY, FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE

[00:55:08]

TAKE LIGHTLY.

AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING A LOT OF A LOT MORE THAN WE ALREADY HAVE CAREFUL THOUGHT AND WORK INTO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS AS WE START GETTING THOSE FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THESE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SHOWN UP TO MEETINGS AND MADE COMMENTS OR EMAILED US OR WHATEVER.

A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A DIRECT RESPONSE OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK AND ARE RESPONDING TO THAT FEEDBACK.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THOSE MEETINGS.

I JUST SAID, WELL SAID.

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND AND THAT WE DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THIS, THAT WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT LIGHTLY, THAT WE ARE BEING VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT. WE CARE VERY MUCH ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DELIVERING THIS.

THIS IS HARD.

WE'RE GOING TO SAY THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS WE CONTINUE DOING THIS.

BUT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE'RE LISTENING AND TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH THE INFORMATION WE HAVE AND THE TOOLS WE HAVE BEFORE US.

I THINK TWO EXCELLENT POINTS.

AND JUST TO ADD A THIRD AND WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME PREPARING FOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES, AND AS WE'VE DONE SO, WE'VE ALSO GONE BACK, GONE BACK IN TIME TO LEARN ABOUT OUR HISTORY.

NOT EVERYONE AT THE DAIS HAS BEEN HERE.

AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN MOST IMPRESSIVE IS THAT THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT PLANO WAS GROWING 1100 PLUS STUDENTS A YEAR, THAT GROWTH HAPPENED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR CITY.

SO AS THE SCHOOLS WERE DEVELOPED, SO WERE THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THEY THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SO MANY ADJACENT PARKS NEXT TO OUR SCHOOLS.

AND SO I THINK IT'S ONLY FITTING THAT AS WE HAVE WE ARE GROWN OUT AS FAR AS ALMOST ALL OF OUR LAND AND SPACE IN OUR CITY.

AND WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE, THAT WE DO THAT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR CITY, CITY OF PLANO.

BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GREAT PARTNERSHIPS ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH ALL OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES.

AND SO I'M GRATEFUL I'M PROUD AND APPRECIATIVE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND CERTAINLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM PARENTS AND HOMEOWNERS.

AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT.

WE'VE NOT ONLY HAD OUR MEETINGS, BUT WE'VE BEEN OUT TO ROTARY MEETINGS.

WE'VE HAD ROUNDTABLES, AND THAT SEEMS TO ALWAYS COME UP IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.

AND SO BEING ABLE TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE FEEDBACK AS WE NAVIGATE A REALLY HARD THING IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

AND I JUST WANT TO ECHO WE WERE AT LEADERSHIP PLANO ACTUALLY, IT WAS MY CLASS.

WE HAD A GRADUATION FINALLY, BECAUSE I'M CLASS 37 AND IT HAPPENED DURING THE COVID YEARS.

AND HEARING FROM OUR FORMER MAYOR, ONE OF THE THINGS HE TALKED ABOUT AS FAR IS THE LS OF LEADERSHIP AND ONE BEING LISTENING, AND I CAN CERTAINLY SAY THAT THAT IS A HUGE COMPONENT OF FOUNDATION OF THIS BOARD TO LISTEN.

AND I'M GRATEFUL TO BE SERVING ALONGSIDE YOU AS WE NAVIGATE THE WATERS ALONG WITH OUR TEAM.

SO THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL JUST ADD THAT I THINK THERE'S INTENTIONALITY BEHIND THIS RESOLUTION.

AS YOU WILL SEE LATER IN THE MEETING, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT A POLICY THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING, AND IT'S ALL RELATED TO THIS PROCESS.

I THINK THERE'S INTENTIONALITY ABOUT SETTING THINGS FIRMLY IN WRITING SO THAT WE HAVE A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE.

AND I THINK I LOVE YOUR POINT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT IS A BYPRODUCT OF THIS.

SO I'M VERY PROUD THAT WE'VE PUT THIS RESOLUTION TOGETHER.

AND I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION.

DO WE HAVE THE MOTION? I APOLOGIZE, IT'S OUT THERE.

WE'RE DISCUSSING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A 7 0 VOTE.

UNANIMOUS. AND THE RESOLUTION IS PASSED.

AND I WILL SIGN THE RESOLUTION AND PASS IT DOWN TO THE SECRETARY.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 10.1 REPORTS.

[10.1 Board Advisory Committee and School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) 2023 - 2024 Reports]

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO HEAR SOME AMAZING REPORTS FROM OUR BOARD ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

AND THE FIRST ONE IS THE SCHOOL HEALTH AND ADVISORY COUNCIL, AKA SHAC, FOR THE 2023, 2024 REPORT.

AND I WILL PASS THIS ALONG OVER TO DR.

GOBER, WHO WILL PRESENT.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT HUMPHREY AND BOARD.

[01:00:02]

TONIGHT I'M PRESENTING ON BEHALF OF REALLY FIVE DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEES BOARD ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND REALLY A TON OF PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAFF MEMBERS THAT PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THESE COMMITTEES.

AND SO I HOPE I DO THEM JUSTICE.

WE START OFF REALLY WITH THE SUMMERTIME.

OVER THE SUMMER, WE MET WITH THE BOARD ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE TO LOOK AT THE PLANS OF WORK FOR THESE COMMITTEES AND SET GOALS FOR EACH OF THESE COMMITTEES.

AND THEN THOSE COMMITTEES MOVED FORWARD WITH THEIR WORK.

WE HAVE FOUR BOARD ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

THEY ARE THERE AS LISTED.

AND THEN WE HAVE BY THE WAY, THAT'S THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE THAT ALLOWS THESE COMMITTEES.

AND THEN WE HAVE A SPECIAL COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY MANDATED BY STATE LAW AND OUR BOARD POLICY, WHICH IS THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE FIVE COMMITTEES WE'LL TALK ABOUT TODAY.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE LISTED ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARENTS AND STAFF THAT WERE A PART OF THESE COMMITTEES.

SO AT THE FIRST SLIDE OF EACH COMMITTEE, YOU'LL SEE THESE NAMES.

FIRST WE'LL START WITH CTE.

THEY HAD TWO GOALS.

THE FIRST GOAL WAS REALLY TO ENHANCE THEIR MARKETING PLANS.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THAT DOING MORE WITH THEIR PROGRAM OF STUDY AT A GLANCE, CREATING THAT INFORMATION BOOK AND THE STUDY BOOK AND HAVING PROGRAM OF STUDY BANNERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SORT OF THE FUTURE OUR ADD DETAILS AND FLOWCHARTS INCREASED PROMOTION AT ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHICH, BY THE WAY, THIS YEAR, AS SOME OF YOU ALL EVEN PARTICIPATED IN THE FIND YOUR FUTURE, WHICH WAS AN AWESOME EVENT.

THEY'VE STARTED THAT THIS YEAR AND CONTINUE THAT MOVING FORWARD.

UPDATE THEIR WEBSITE, ENHANCING THEIR GRAPHICS, CREATING ONE PAGERS FOR EACH PROGRAM OF STUDY.

HERE ARE THE SECOND GOAL, BY THE WAY, OF PROVIDING INPUT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CTE PROGRAMS ON CAMPUSES VERSUS WHAT'S GOING TO GO INTO THE CTE CENTER. SO THAT RED OR MAROON COLUMN, YOU'LL SEE ALL THE ACADEMIES THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND WHAT CAMPUSES HOUSED THEM.

YOU'LL SEE THE PATHWAYS IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY AND THAT BLUE COLUMN.

AND MANY OF THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED WHEN WE HAD THE CTE BUILDING UPDATE.

SO I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THOSE AGAIN.

AND SO WE THANK THE CTE COMMITTEE FOR ALL THEIR WORK.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE DIVERSITY COMMITTEE.

HERE ARE THOSE FINE FOLKS THAT SERVED ON THAT COMMITTEE.

THEY HAD TWO GOALS AS WELL.

ONE WAS TO DEVELOP A CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT AUDIT.

AND SO WHEN THEY LOOKED AT THEIR THINGS, I SORT OF LIKE THE EQUATION THAT CAME OUT OF THAT AND MOTIVATION, PLUS MORE OPTIONS FOR LEARNING PLUS A SENSE OF BELONGING, PLUS PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES EQUALS CLOSING THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP.

AND I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THAT.

I HOPE YOU DO AS WELL.

THEY DID SOME GREAT WORK AROUND THIS, AND THEIR SECOND GOAL SORT OF GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THE FIRST GOAL.

AND THAT'S CREATING CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT TEAMS TO FOCUS ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.

AND SO HERE ARE THE ROLES AND PARAMETERS FOR EQUITY CHAMPIONS FOR EACH CAMPUS.

THE GT COMMITTEE.

HERE ARE THOSE FINE FOLKS.

THEY HAD TWO GOALS AS WELL.

PROVIDING FEEDBACK ON THE CURRENT SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM AND INPUT PROVIDE INPUT ON WAYS TO IMPROVE SUMMER PROGRAMING FOR GT STUDENTS.

THEY LOOKED AT ALL OF OUR SUMMER OFFERINGS FOR GRADES ONE THROUGH SEVEN AND ELEMENTS TO ENSURE EXPLORATION.

THEY DID REVISE SOME COURSES FOR OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS ADDING ON COMMUNICATION AND STEM PROGRAMS. I DON'T WANT TO SAY COURSES TO MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND OF COURSE, THEY DID MORE PRESENT PRESENTATIONS FOR THE BAYLOR TALENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM, THE TIP PROGRAM.

AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SAY THAT NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE EMBARKING UPON ACADEMIC UIL WHICH IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE THEY HAVE THEIR GOAL.

THIS IS SORT OF AN ONGOING GOAL FOR THEM, AND THAT'S TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXISTING OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPLORE DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSION AND MORE INCLUSION ACTIVITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

AND THEY HAD THEIR ANNUAL HERO EXPO, WHERE PARENTS AND STAFF SORT OF LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

IT'S A GREAT EVENT.

THEY ALSO LOOKED AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF INCLUSION PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE OR WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH.

WE OF COURSE, WE'VE HEARD ALREADY THIS MAYBE A FEW MONTHS AGO FROM OUR PANTHER PRIDE GROUP, OUR UNIFIED CHAMPION SCHOOLS WERE PART OF THAT AND UNIFIED STATE AID.

WE STARTED THAT AS WELL.

VERY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE INITIATIVES.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.

THOSE GOOD FOLKS THERE, THIS COUNCIL BY THE WAY, IS SORT OF A STATE MANDATED ONE AND A BOARD MANDATED ONE, AND IT IS MANDATED THAT A

[01:05:07]

PARENT SERVE AS A CO-CHAIR.

SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE JENNIFER GALVAN FOR ALL OF HER HARD WORK SHE DID ON THIS COMMITTEE.

THEY HAD THREE GOALS.

THE FIRST GOAL WAS TO LOOK AT ANY UPDATES OR CHANGES IN CURRICULUM GUIDELINES OR LAW AND REVIEW THOSE POLICIES OR LAWS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. WELL, THERE WAS SOME CHANGES IN LAW.

HOUSE BILL 3908.

LONG STORY SHORT.

IT TALKED ABOUT INSTRUCTION ON OPIOIDS AND ASSOCIATED ANTAGONIST.

AND SO WE CURRENTLY PROVIDE INSTRUCTION AND WE GIVE THAT INSTRUCTION FROM GRADES 6 THROUGH 12.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE MATERIALS, WE RECOMMENDED THAT WE GO DOWN TO GRADE THREE.

SO WE DID MAKE THAT CHANGE IN SHAC.

WE LOOKED AT THE SCIENCE CURRICULUM.

THEY'RE HAVING A NEW CURRICULUM.

SO AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE IN SHAC'S PURVIEW.

WE LOOKED AT MATERIALS RELATED TO HUMAN REPRODUCTION.

SO WE DIDN'T READ ALL THE BOOKS, BUT WE READ THE PARTS OF THE BOOKS THAT HAD TO DO WITH HUMAN REPRODUCTION.

AND I'M SAYING THIS BECAUSE THEY PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS.

I REALLY WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS COMMITTEE.

THEY PUT A LOT OF WORK IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

SO WE LOOKED AT THE SEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE CURRICULUM OF RESOURCES, HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY, TEXTBOOK RESOURCES, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, AND IB BIOLOGY.

AND THEY MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THAT COMMITTEE.

AND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE PASSED ON TO YOU.

AND THOSE BOOKS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED BY YOU ALL AS WELL.

GOAL NUMBER TWO IS ANALYZE CURRENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR FUTURE HEALTH AND WELLNESS INITIATIVES.

SO WE THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR STUDENTS.

AND WE LOOKED AT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOL.

THIS IS OUR SORT OF OUR CURRENT THINGS WE HAVE GOING ON.

OUR PLANO ISD'S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS TEAM ARE RISING UP PROGRAM ON THE EAST SIDE CHICAGO SCHOOL OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THE PROGRAM THAT THEY OFFER SHAC DID INITIATE A NEW PROGRAM.

I'M VERY EXCITED, AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT IT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, I PROMISE.

BUT IT'S THE WALK, BIKE AND ROLL TO SCHOOL PROGRAM, AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.

OTHER NEW PROGRAMS THIS YEAR WAS THE WALKING CLASSROOM THAT'S IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH JC PENNEY.

LONG STORY SHORT, KIDS HAVE A SORT OF A WALKMAN, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT OLD FASHIONED WALKMAN, THAT GIVES THEM LITTLE LESSONS ON DIFFERENT LIFE THINGS MOTIVATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, HARD WORK, THINGS OF THAT NATURE REALLY ALIGNS WITH OUR CHARACTER EDUCATION THINGS.

AND THEY TAKE 3 TO 10 MINUTE WALKS AND THEY DO THIS PRIMARILY IN PASAR.

WE HAVE OUR T-CHATT PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN'S HEALTH TRUSTED CARES.

MANY OF YOU WENT TO THE TRUSTED WORLD EVENT LAST WEEK, AND THAT IS PART OF THIS.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE ADDED THIS YEAR.

AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR JOURNEY OF HOPE.

GOAL NUMBER THREE, SORT OF THE SAME TYPE OF THING, BUT IT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR STAFF.

AND WE LOOKED AT OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER THAT WE DO OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE PROVIDING ALL THE INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL, HEALTH, WORK LIFE BALANCE, SO ON AND SO FORTH.

WE HAVE OUR EAP PROGRAM HEALTH FAIR.

WE HAD A GREAT PHENOMENAL FALL HEALTH FAIR THIS YEAR.

HUGE SUCCESS BY ANYBODY'S MEASURE.

WE HAVE SITE BASED VACCINATIONS AND FLU SHOTS, WELL-BEING CHALLENGES EVERY MONTH.

AND THEN NEW PROGRAMS WE INCLUDED THIS YEAR WERE THE FULL CIRCLE PROGRAM, WHERE STAFF GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT WAYS TO HANDLE STRESS.

THEY DO IT SORT OF IN A SAFE PLACE.

AND OUR UT SOUTHWEST MOBILE MAMMOGRAMS MOBILE THAT'S REALLY MOBILE.

AND SO THAT WAS EXCITING.

ALL RIGHT. AS PROMISED, TOMORROW IS A BIG DAY ACROSS PLANO BECAUSE TOMORROW WE'RE ENCOURAGING ALL OF OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES TO WALK, BIKE OR ROLL LIKE ROLLER SKATES, ROLL OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED NOW, HEELYS.

ROLL YOURSELF ON TO SCHOOL.

WE THIS IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR CITY OF PLANO.

AND SO THEY'VE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB OF ROUTING A WALKING TRAIL, BIKING TRAIL FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS.

AND WE PASSED THAT ALL ON TO THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND CAMPUSES.

AND SO TOMORROW MORNING WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE WHO ALL WALKS, BIKES AND ROLLS TO SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT REPORT.

THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 10.2.

I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK ACTUALLY IF YOU DON'T MIND. OH, I'M SO SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF.

IT'S TO REINFORCE A POINT THAT YOU'LL APPRECIATE.

SO, DR. GOBER, THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE ON THESE COMMITTEES, HOW DO THEY GET ON THESE COMMITTEES? WELL, I'M HOPING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT BOARD, [LAUGHTER] OUR BOARD NOMINATES FOLKS TO BE ON THESE I SHOULDN'T SAY NOMINATE.

[01:10:01]

THEY APPOINT FOLKS TO BE ON THESE BOARDS.

AND SO WE ALWAYS HAVE BOARD REPRESENTED FOLKS ON THE BOARDS.

WE HAVE PARENTS, SOME OF OUR PARENT LEADERS, LIKE PTA FOLKS.

AND THEN WE HAVE STAFF, STAFF THAT'S MOST APPROPRIATE TO THE CONTENT THAT'S BEING HANDLED.

SO WHAT YOU MIGHT SUGGEST, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BEING ON ONE OF THESE COMMITTEES, IS REACHING OUT TO A TRUSTEE, FORMING A RELATIONSHIP THERE AND EXPRESSING YOUR INTEREST.

I KNOW MYSELF SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO GATHER UP PEOPLE, LIKE THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY PARENTS AT MY KID'S CUB SCOUT PACK THAT I CAN APPOINT TO STUFF, RIGHT? SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME REINFORCE THE POINT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS AWARE.

AND ANYBODY WHO'S WATCHING WE AS TRUSTEES EACH GET APPOINTMENTS TO THESE COMMITTEES OR THINGS LIKE THE LONG TERM FACILITY COMMITTEE OR THE BOND COMMITTEE OR WHATEVER.

AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD PEOPLE, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW PEOPLE.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SOME OF THESE THINGS FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE OF US, YOU, YOU KNOW, WANT TO GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT AND EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST.

BUT YOU CAN ALSO APPLY.

YES, THERE'S ALSO AN APPLICATION PROCESS ONLINE, AND THEY CAN FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND SHARE WITH WHAT COMMITTEES ARE INTERESTED IN DOING.

AND THAT'S ALWAYS VERY MUCH WELCOME.

WE WANT TO HAVE AS MUCH COMMUNITY AND PARENTS AND PARTICIPATION AS WE CAN HAVE.

RIGHT. AND TO LAUREN'S POINT, IF ANYBODY IS LOOKING TO REACH OUT TO A BOARD MEMBER, OUR EMAILS ARE ON THE WEBSITE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO THAT, THANK YOU.

AND LASTLY, LET ME SAY THAT EACH COMMITTEE MEETS ABOUT FOUR TIMES A YEAR JUST TO EXPLAIN THAT COMMITMENT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT ANYBODY OFF THERE, I APOLOGIZE.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO 10.2 OF OUR REPORTS, WHICH IS OUR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE UPDATE.

[10.2 Two-Way Dual Language Update]

AND THIS I WILL TURN OVER TO LISA WILLIAMS TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

AND DR. WILLIAMS, I AM HAPPY TO INTRODUCE TALLE GOMEZ, WHO IS OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR MULTILINGUAL ACADEMIC SERVICES.

AND I KNOW SHE'S VISITED WITH US ALREADY THIS YEAR, BUT SHE WANTED TO JUST PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON OUR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM.

YES. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, DR.

WILLIAMS, BOARD AND CABINET MEMBERS FOR YOUR TIME.

I STAYED IN MY SEAT UNTIL IT WAS REALLY MY TURN THIS TIME.

SO THAT WAS A PLUS.

AS LISA MENTIONED, I'M GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT ON TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

SINCE WE'RE IN OUR VERY EARLY STAGES OF IMPLEMENTATION, YOU'LL HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TWO WAY AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ONE WAY PROGRAM.

ALL RIGHT. SO A LOT OF TIMES THOSE TERMS ARE CONFUSING BECAUSE THEY BOTH SAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

AND SO I WANTED TO START OFF BY JUST EXPLAINING WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS WHEN WE SAY ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE VERSUS TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

SO TYPICALLY THOSE TWO PROGRAMS HAVE THE SAME GOALS AROUND BILITERACY STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

BUT THE DIFFERENCE ARE THE STUDENTS SITTING IN THOSE TWO GROUPS.

SO WE HAVE STUDENTS IN TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE WHO ARE SCHOOLED THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

SO WE HAVE A GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO TYPICALLY ARE ENGLISH PROFICIENT, OR ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN THEIR HOME PAIRED WITH STUDENTS IN THAT CLASSROOM WHO ARE ALREADY PROFICIENT IN SPANISH OR SPANISH IS SPOKEN IN THEIR HOME.

SO TWO LANGUAGE GROUPS WHO ARE REALLY LEARNING TOGETHER AND FROM EACH OTHER.

OUR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE IS A STUDENT GROUP WHO SPEAKS SPANISH IN THEIR HOME OR IS NOT YET PROFICIENT.

BUT THE STUDENTS SITTING IN THOSE CLASSROOMS ARE DIFFERENT.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE VIDEOS, WHEN YOU'RE THERE, ARE MUCH BETTER IN PERSON THAN WHEN YOU WATCH THE VIDEO. IF YOU HAVE BEEN WITH FOUR YEAR OLDS, FIVE YEAR OLDS, OR HAD YOUR OWN TRYING TO TAKE FAMILY PICTURES, YOU KNOW THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS EXACTLY CAPTURE IT. SO I WANTED TO SHARE A COUPLE VIDEOS BEFORE WE MOVE ON WITH THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION.

THIS IS FROM OUR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOM AT DAFFRON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A GROUP OF PRE-K STUDENTS.

. OKAY.

THAT CLASS, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS IS A DIVERSE CLASS WITH AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TEACHER.

AND HALF THE CLASS IS WHAT I DESCRIBED AS STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGLISH PROFICIENT.

[01:15:01]

AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE CLASS ARE EMERGENT BILINGUALS WHO ARE NOT YET ENGLISH PROFICIENT, AND SPANISH IS THEIR HOME LANGUAGE.

YOU CAN SEE THEM ENGAGING IN A SONG IN SPANISH THAT THEY HAVE WORKED ON TOGETHER.

I GOT TWO VIDEOS TODAY, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO PUT THEM IN HERE.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY IN ONE OF THE VIDEOS THEY ARE SITTING ON THE RUG AGAIN AND ONE OF OUR ENGLISH PROFICIENT STUDENTS SAYS IN THE VIDEO, OH, PHOTOGRAPHO AND PHOTOGRAPHER IS THE SAME WORD.

AND I WAS LIKE, YES, THAT'S WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

[LAUGHTER] BUT IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOU SEE FOUR YEAR OLDS MAKING THOSE KIND OF CONNECTIONS.

SO THERE WERE SOME REALLY GREAT VIDEOS, BUT THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE SLIDE DECK.

ALL RIGHT. SHE MIGHT HAVE LIKED WHO SAID THAT COMMENT AS WELL? SO I'M GOING TO SHARE A COUPLE VIDEOS FROM OUR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOM AS WELL.

AGAIN, THIS IS KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE, SO A LITTLE HARD TO CAPTURE.

ALL THE BEST MOMENTS, BUT I THINK YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE HERE OF BOTH EXPLICIT ENGLISH INSTRUCTION AND SPANISH INSTRUCTION.

WHAT IS IT CALLED? YEAH. SHOW ME THE STARS.

YES! GOOD JOB.

FANTASTIC. SAY STARS. CAN BE SEEN.

AT NIGHT. OH, SHOW ME YOUR HAND MOVEMENTS.

AT NIGHT.

AT NIGHT. GOOD JOB.

AND NOW, SAY STARS.

STARS. GIVE OFF LIGHT.

OKAY. THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF KINDERGARTEN.

AND SCIENCE IS TAUGHT IN ENGLISH.

SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT TEACHER IS USING ALL KINDS OF TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE AND GESTURES TO HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND, BUT THEY'RE PRODUCING A LOT OF LANGUAGE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE HERE OF A FIRST GRADE MATH CLASSROOM.

PRESENTATION] SO AT THE END OF EACH UNIT, IF THEY'VE DONE AN INSTRUCTIONAL UNIT IN ENGLISH, THEN THEY DO AN EXTENSION OF THAT IN SPANISH SO THAT THAT ACADEMIC VOCABULARY CONTINUES TO BE DEVELOPED.

THAT'S CALLED THE BRIDGE.

AND THIS WAS A DEMONSTRATION A LITTLE HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT THE TEACHER USES THIS CHANT AS AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH BRIDGE, AND THE KIDS ARE SAYING, WHEN I KNOW IT IN ENGLISH, I TAKE IT INTO SPANISH, AND THEN THEY SAY IT IN SPANISH.

WHEN THEY KNOW IT IN SPANISH, THEY TAKE IT TO ENGLISH.

SO IT'S JUST A CHANT SHE DOES BEFORE SHE GOES INTO THAT BRIDGING PIECE.

OKAY. SORRY. ALL RIGHT, SO I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S AWARE WE HAVE ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE ON OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD CAMPUSES.

14 ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES AND GROWING.

AND YOU'LL SEE EVIDENCE OF THAT GROWTH LATER IN THIS SLIDE DECK.

AND THEN WE WILL BE AT FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL IN 24, 25 FOR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

THAT HAS BEEN A SLOW IMPLEMENTATION, BUT VERY STRATEGIC, SO THAT WE MADE SURE THAT STUDENTS WERE IN THAT PROGRAM FROM THE

[01:20:02]

BEGINNING. WE HAVE CLOSE TO 3600 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN OUR ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED, FOR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE, WE'RE IN OUR VERY EARLY STAGES.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE CLASSROOM AT DAFFRON IN PRE-K.

WE FILLED THAT VERY QUICKLY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITY INTEREST FOR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

NEXT YEAR WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A PRE-K CLASS, AND WE WILL BE MOVING UP INTO KINDERGARTEN AT DAFFRON EACH YEAR.

AND THEN WE ARE STARTING A TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PRE-K CLASSROOM AT HUFFMAN NEXT YEAR.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WE HAVE RIGHT NOW 22 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THAT PRE-K CLASSROOM.

AND WE REALLY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THAT REALLY EQUAL, WITH ABOUT 50% BEING EBS AND 50% BEING ENGLISH PROFICIENT.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO GROW THAT.

AND I WILL SAY PROBABLY GET EMAILS DAILY ABOUT TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

SO IT IS EXCITING AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN.

OUR HUFFMAN TEAM WENT OVER TO VISIT DAFFRON TODAY, WHICH IS WHY I GOT A FEW EXTRA VIDEOS.

BUT THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSED WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THAT CLASSROOM.

AND, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE VISITING, THERE IS DEFINITELY A SPOT TO FILL YOUR BUCKET.

ALL RIGHT. I WANTED TO JUST SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR GROWTH.

THIS IS SPECIFIC TO ELEMENTARY.

I THINK THAT YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY AWARE AND HAVE SEEN SOME NUMBERS ABOUT OUR GROWTH OF EMERGENT BILINGUALS AT ALL LEVELS, BUT WE HAVE IF YOU SEE, OUR EAST CLUSTER HASN'T SEEN THE SAME TYPE OF GROWTH AS OUR OTHER CLUSTERS.

SO YOU CAN SEE OUR EAST HAS HAS REALLY STAYED PRETTY EVEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, OUR CENTRAL HAS GROWN PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY, WHILE OUR WEST CLUSTER HAS CONTINUED TO REALLY GROW.

AND THIS ALLOWS US TO TO GROW OUR PROGRAM, BUT TO ALSO OFFER MORE PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS LIKE TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE, WHERE WE CAN START TO INVITE OTHER STUDENTS TO REALLY WORK ON THAT BILINGUALISM AND BILITERACY WITH US.

ALL RIGHT. AND THIS RESEARCH IS REALLY PROBABLY THE THE BIGGEST RESEARCH THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE UNITED STATES BY THOMAS AND COLLIER, WHO ARE THE TWO BIGGEST RESEARCHERS IN OUR COUNTRY, ON THE TOPIC.

AND SO I WANTED TO INCLUDE THIS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE HOPE THAT IT EXTENDS TO US, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO HERE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE OFFERING AND WHY WE HAVE CHANGED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO HOW WE MODEL THE PROGRAMS THAT WE PUT OUR STUDENTS INTO.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE TOP GRAIN LINES, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE COLORS.

BUT THE TOP LINE IS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS. THAT SECOND LINE BELOW IT, THE GREEN ONE, IS ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

THIS STUDY THAT THEY DID WAS ON CLOSE TO 8 MILLION STUDENT RECORDS.

IT WAS DONE IN 36 DISTRICTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND 16 DIFFERENT STATES.

AND THESE WERE STUDENTS OF GREAT DIVERSITY, SOCIOECONOMIC LANGUAGE JUST REALLY ALL KINDS OF STUDENTS.

IT WASN'T HAND-CHOSEN TO INCLUDE IN THIS STUDY.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE A SCHOOL DISTRICT BASED ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, RIGHT? AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT STUDIES LIKE THIS, THIS IS WHAT ENCOURAGED US TO MOVE FROM THE BILINGUAL PROGRAM WE HAD PREVIOUSLY IMPLEMENTED TO ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

WE REALLY WANTED TO WORK ON THAT IMPLEMENTATION BEFORE WE STARTED TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

AND SO NOW WE ARE ABLE TO REALLY WORK ON THAT IMPLEMENTATION.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT OVER TIME AND THESE STUDIES WERE DONE ON STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN ELEMENTARY DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS BY THE TIME THEY WERE FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL.

THEIR ACHIEVEMENT FAR OUTSHINED THAT OF OTHER STUDENT GROUPS.

SO, OF COURSE, THAT LED US TO NEEDING TO MAKE A CHANGE IN OUR IMPLEMENTATION PRACTICES.

I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOU CAN SEE AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVELS, THERE'S NOT AS BIG OF A DIFFERENCE IN ACHIEVEMENT AS THERE IS ONCE WE MOVE INTO SECONDARY LEVELS.

SO THAT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO NOTE, BECAUSE AS YOU LOOK AT SOME OF OUR, DATA, THAT KIND OF YOU COULD SAY, DO WE COMPARE THIS PREVIOUS

[01:25:07]

PROGRAM TO THE DUAL LANGUAGE? NOT QUITE YET, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE WILL BE LONG-TERM.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE DATA THAT WE USE IN PLANO RIGHT NOW, AND OF COURSE WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OUR PRACTICES, OUR ASSESSMENT PRACTICES.

WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF TEACHING, READING.

AND OF COURSE, THAT SHIFTS SOME OF OUR PRACTICES IN THAT AREA.

BUT FOR READING, WE REALLY MONITOR FOR INCREASED GROWTH AT ON OR ABOVE LEVEL READING LEVELS.

WITH MAP, WE MONITOR FOR INCREASED GROWTH AS WELL MONITORING, STAAR MONITORING FOR INCREASED PERCENTAGES AT ALL PERFORMANCE LEVELS.

AND THEN TELPAS, WE WANT TO MONITOR FOR THAT INCREASED GROWTH IN ENGLISH IN ALL DOMAINS.

SO THOSE ARE JUST DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS THAT WE USE IN ORDER.

AND THESE ARE AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVELS TO MONITOR OUR STUDENTS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WE DO MCLASS WHICH IS SPECIFIC TO K-2, AND WE DO MONITOR THAT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH AT K-2 GRADE LEVELS AND THEN MAP READING.

CURRENTLY WE DO IN THE HOME LANGUAGE IN KINDERGARTEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN GRADE ONE, AND THEN MAP READING IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH FOR GRADES TWO THROUGH FIVE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, WE CONTINUE THAT PRACTICE WITH MCLASS FOR BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, AND THEN MAP READING IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, GRADES K THROUGH 5 AND END OF YEAR, SIMILAR TO MIDDLE OF YEAR.

WE ALSO ASSESS IN BOTH LANGUAGES.

SO THAT ALLOWS US TO REALLY USE SOME OF THOSE GROWTH REPORTS AND SEE HOW STUDENTS ARE PROGRESSING OVER TIME IN BOTH LANGUAGES.

I HAVE A LITTLE ASTERISK AT THE BOTTOM THERE.

THAT GRADE TWO FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS LITERACY GRADES K THROUGH 2.

SORRY. THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS LITERACY ASSESSMENT IS REALLY A BIG PART OF OUR ASSESSMENT THROUGHOUT BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH.

ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THOSE REPORTS LOOK LIKE AS WE MONITOR BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH.

THIS IS SHOWING LITERACY SKILLS.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP EXAMPLE, THAT'S THE SPANISH THAT WE GET FROM MCLASS THE REPORT.

AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM, THAT'S THE ENGLISH VERY COMPARABLE SUB PORTIONS OF THE TEST THERE, BUT NOT ALL EXACTLY THE SAME.

AND PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE AUTHENTIC LITERACY INSTRUCTION THAT TAKES PLACE AT THOSE GRADE LEVELS.

SO WE ARE MONITORING TO SEE GROWTH IN BOTH AREAS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING SOME WORK WITH NWEA ON HOW TO REALLY LOOK AT THIS THROUGH A BI LITERACY LENS WITH OUR MAP SCORES, BECAUSE IT'S VERY EASY TO LOOK AT BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH SCORES WITH THAT MONOLINGUAL LENS.

AND THINK, OKAY, SHOULD WE WHY DO WE HAVE.

WHY WOULD WE HAVE ANY KIDS BELOW LEVEL? BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING A PORTION OF LITERACY INSTRUCTION IN ENGLISH AND A PORTION IN SPANISH.

AND SO WHILE WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO SEE THAT GROWTH AND STUDENTS AT OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL, THAT IS VERY MUCH THROUGH A MONOLINGUAL LENS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE LEVELS.

SO JUST SOME REALLY CRITICAL WORK THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH SOME BILITERACY TRAJECTORIES AND HOW WE LOOK AT THAT STUDENT DATA.

AND THEN EVEN THOUGH I JUST MENTIONED A FEW SLIDES BACK THAT WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK TOO MUCH AT THE ELEMENTARY GRADES FOR A GREAT DIFFERENCE.

WE DID WANT TO CELEBRATE THAT 83% OF OUR THIRD GRADE DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS LAST SPRING WERE AT APPROACHES OR ABOVE ON STAAR, AND SO THAT IS IMPROVEMENT FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN WITH OUR BILINGUAL EARLY TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM.

BUT AGAIN, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE OVER TIME AND LONGITUDINAL DATA WHERE THAT REALLY BEGINS TO MAKE EVEN BIGGER GAINS.

AND THEN 77% OF FOURTH GRADE BILINGUAL STUDENTS WERE AT APPROACHES OR ABOVE, 79% OF FIFTH GRADE WERE AT APPROACHES OR ABOVE.

WE SHARED QUITE A BIT OF OR I SHARED QUITE A BIT OF DATA LAST TIME I WAS HERE WITH YOU.

AND WE KNOW WE STILL HAVE AREAS TO IMPROVE.

THAT'S WE'RE ALWAYS IN A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT STAGE, BUT WE HAVE SEEN GREAT GROWTH OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IN OUR STAAR ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS AND

[01:30:02]

BILINGUAL STUDENTS. SO JUST SOMETHING TO STOP AND CELEBRATE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO FUTURE PLANNING.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUTURE PLANNING HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE DISTRICT.

AND I THINK WITH LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING, SOME OF THIS IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE AS WELL.

BUT JUST CONTINUING TO EXPLORE AND PLAN FOR THE EXPANSION OF TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE.

WE WE SAW THE THOMAS AND COLLIER RESEARCH THAT DEFINITELY SUPPORTS THAT, BUT ALSO OUR COMMUNITY INTERESTS THAT WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT US GROWING THAT PROGRAM.

CONTINUING TO MONITOR AND SUPPORT OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS.

WE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME WITH OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS, JUST EQUIPPING THEM AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE TOOLS IN THEIR TOOL BELT TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS AND THEN CONTINUE TRAINING ON INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION.

WE ARE REALLY LUCKY NEXT YEAR TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE PSYOP TRAINING, WHICH MEANS SHELTERED INSTRUCTION, OBSERVATION PROTOCOL FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND ALSO A TRAIN THE TRAINER MODEL FOR ALL CAMPUSES.

SO THIS WILL REACH ALL OF OUR TEACHERS IN PLANO AND REALLY HELP THEM BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF NOT ONLY EMERGENT BILINGUALS, BUT OF ALL STUDENTS WHO DESERVE THAT TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT AND DIFFERENTIATION IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN ALWAYS CONTINUING TO MONITOR DATA TO PROVIDE TIMELY SUPPORT AND PROGRAMMATIC ADJUSTMENTS.

SO WE CONTINUE TO LEARN OURSELVES AND TO WORK WITH EXPERTS IN THE FIELD FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT AS WE LEARN NEW THINGS, THAT WE'RE PUTTING THE VERY BEST IN FRONT OF OUR KIDS.

AND THAT WRAPS UP MY PRESENTATION FOR THE EVENING.

BUT I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE.

I JUST HAVE ONE.

YOU MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT GETTING THE HURDLE TO GETTING THE DUAL LANGUAGE AND THE 1 [INAUDIBLE] DUAL LANGUAGE GOING.

WHAT'S THE BIGGEST HURDLE THAT'S CAUSED FOR THAT TO NOT GO AT THE PACE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO GO? WE WERE STRATEGIC ABOUT TAKING THE TIME.

NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE OF HURDLES, BUT BECAUSE WE WANTED WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISRUPT THE PROGRAM THAT THE STUDENTS WERE IN.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SWITCH TO ONE WAY DUAL LANGUAGE ALL OVERNIGHT? BUT THE CHALLENGE IN THAT IS THAT WHEN YOU'VE HAD STUDENTS IN THE EARLY EXIT MODEL, THERE HAS NOT BEEN THE TYPE OF TIME AND TREATMENT THAT COMES ALONG WITH DUAL LANGUAGE.

SO THAT SLOW IMPLEMENTATION IS MORE ABOUT DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR KIDS THAN IT IS ABOUT HURDLES.

I WOULD SAY WHAT WHAT TOOK A LOT OF JUST KIND OF PRE PLANNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THAT SHIFT HAPPENED WAS A MINDSET BECAUSE EARLY EXIT BILINGUAL HAS DIFFERENT GOALS THAN A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THOSE GOALS AND KNEW HOW TO IMPLEMENT INSTRUCTION THAT LED TO THOSE GOALS IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND THEN AS FAR AS FINDING STAFF TO TEACH THESE PROGRAMS, HAS THAT BEEN RELATIVELY EASY TO FIND FOLKS? I WOULDN'T SAY EASY, BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT [LAUGHTER] YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING WAS WONDERING ABOUT IS THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND MEETING THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT JUST FINDING THE TEACHERS, BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT CAN'T BE A VERY RICH FIELD OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THIS AT THIS POINT YET.

OR IS IT GROWING? WE HAVE SOME.

SO IT IS CHALLENGING, BUT I THINK STAFFING MOST POSITIONS RIGHT NOW IS CHALLENGING, UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT WE REALLY PARTNER WITH OUR HR DEPARTMENT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE RECRUITING IN PLACES WHERE WE COULD HAVE A HIGHER NUMBER OF BILINGUAL CANDIDATES COMING OUT FROM.

WE HAVE QUEST IN PLACE, WHICH HAS REALLY HELPED US BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME REALLY TALENTED BILINGUAL PARAPROFESSIONALS IN OUR DISTRICT WHO HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET ON THIS PATHWAY BEFORE NOW.

SO THOSE INITIATIVES AND PARTNERING WITH HR AND WITH QUEST HAS REALLY HELPED US A LOT.

WE'RE WE ARE ALSO LUCKY WITH JUST SOME UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE MORE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH US NOW.

VERY INTERESTED IN OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR STUDENT TEACHERS TO BE IN PROGRAMS THAT ARE REALLY UP TO DATE AND RESEARCH BASED.

AND SO TEXAS A&M COMMERCE JUST REACHED OUT TO US THIS WEEK ABOUT A PARTNERSHIP.

[01:35:06]

UNT HAS A NEW CLINICAL DIRECTOR, AND SHE REACHED OUT TO US ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM THAT SHE'S BEGINNING AND POSSIBLE PARTNERSHIP.

SO I DO THINK THAT THE WORK WE'RE DOING AS A DISTRICT IS HELPING US MAKE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL LEAD TO LESS CHALLENGING TIMES.

OKAY, GOOD. WELL, I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO WHAT UNIVERSITIES YOU WERE WORKING WITH.

SO YOU'VE DONE THOSE TWO.

ARE THERE ANY OTHERS THAT IF WE HAVE FAMILIES OUT THERE WHO THEIR KIDDOS OR THE KIDDOS WANT TO PURSUE THIS AS A CAREER PATH? WE'RE A GOOD PLACES TO ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH OR GO TO WELL, TWU HAS A GREAT BILINGUAL EDUCATOR PROGRAM UNT TEXAS A&M COMMERCE.

I KNOW THAT I SEE [INAUDIBLE] OVER THERE, AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE REALLY HIT A NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES, MAYBE NOT IN OUR IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS, BUT TEXAS STATE AND SEVERAL THEY WERE IN EL PASO LAST WEEK LOOKING FOR BILINGUAL TEACHERS.

SO WE ALSO HAVE UTD THAT HAS A FEW OF OUR OWN PLANO ISD STAFF MEMBERS WORKING THERE, BUT THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM, AND SMU, SO WE REALLY ARE SURROUNDED.

IT'S JUST TAPPING INTO THOSE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GET IN FRONT OF THAT AND RECRUIT THEM.

WE'VE ALSO TALKED.

KAREN IS NOT SITTING IN HERE ANYMORE, BUT KAREN AND I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN BEGIN TO RECRUIT AND BUILD PATHWAYS FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE CTE TEACHER PREP PROGRAM AND REALLY TRY TO BRING MORE OF OUR BILINGUAL STUDENTS INTO THAT TO BUILD ON THAT, AS WELL AS SHARON, BRADLEY AND I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE COULD START TO USE PALS, MAYBE AS A PLATFORM TO LOOK FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THAT.

SO I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAPITALIZE ON THOSE.

MM'HMM. I'LL MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS AND THEN I HAVE A QUESTION.

IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN YOU CALLED ME AND YOU SAID, WE SEE YOUR DAUGHTER IS REGISTERED FOR PRE-K.

WE'RE PILOTING A PROGRAM ON YOUR HOME CAMPUS.

DO YOU WANT US TO TRANSFER HER, OR DO YOU WANT TO MAYBE DO THIS PILOT PROGRAM? AND I THINK YOU'RE ONE OF THREE PEOPLE WHO CALLED AND ASKED ME THAT QUESTION LAST YEAR, BECAUSE IT THE INTENTIONALITY WITH WHICH YOU ALL HAVE DONE THIS AND WE AS PARENTS WERE ASKED TO MAKE A SEVEN YEAR COMMITMENT.

RIGHT. THIS IS PRE-K THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

IF YOU PULL YOUR CHILD OUT OF THIS PROGRAM IN THIRD GRADE, WE LOSE THAT SPOT BECAUSE WE CAN'T TAKE SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN A MONOLINGUAL UP UNTIL, YOU KNOW, KINDERGARTEN FIRST, SECOND AND PUT THEM IN THAT SPOT.

AND SO THE INTENTIONALITY WITH WHICH YOU EDUCATED AND,IN SOME WAYS KIND OF SCREENED PARENTS AND FAMILIES FOR THAT TWO WAY PILOT PROGRAM.

I JUST APPRECIATED THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION WE'VE BEEN INTERVIEWED ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE.

AND YOU KNOW, MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, COGNATES.

YEP. LIKE A FOUR YEAR OLD USING THE WORD COGNATES THAT I WAS LIKE, WHERE ELSE DO YOU GET THAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY? AND YOU KNOW, I, WE HAVE BEEN JUST ABSOLUTELY PLEASED AND ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK WE'VE BEEN MOST PLEASED ABOUT AS A FAMILY, BEING IN THAT TWO WAY PROGRAM IS OUR DAUGHTER IS PLAYING WITH EVERYBODY.

AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S THE KIDS THAT SPEAK ENGLISH AT HOME OR IF IT'S THE KIDS THAT SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME.

ALL OF THE KIDS ARE JUST HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH EACH OTHER AND MAKING FRIENDS WITH EACH OTHER AND FIGURING OUT HOWEVER THEY'RE GOING TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT.

AND IT'S JUST A REALLY VERY ENCOURAGING THING TO SEE THE KIDS JUST SO SO HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE THESE FRIENDS WITH DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES AND WHO MAYBE COME FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY OR SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE AT HOME.

ON THE GOING TO DO COMMUNITY OBSERVATIONS I UNDERSTAND THAT MY DAUGHTER LIKES TO INTERROGATE ANY STAFF THAT SHOW UP TO DO OBSERVATIONS.

[LAUGHTER] SHE'S GOOD WITH HUGS TOO.

SO I'LL JUST APOLOGIZE TO ANYBODY WHO'S GOING TO GO DO OBSERVATIONS.

YOU CAN EXPECT SOME QUESTIONS WHICH MAYBE SHE COMES BY THAT HONESTLY.

THE QUESTION I HAVE IN THIS IS YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT ABOUT THE DEMAND FOR THIS.

I GET ASKED ALL THE TIME WHEN WE'RE MOVING TO A DUAL LANGUAGE TO OTHER CAMPUSES, AND IT SEEMS LIKE FROM THE DATA THAT WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF CAMPUSES THAT HAVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME AND A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT SPEAK ENGLISH AT HOME TO FORM MORE OF THESE

[01:40:01]

CLASSROOMS. AND SO YOU YOU BROUGHT UP IMPLEMENTING THIS, ADDING A HUFFMAN PRE-K NEXT YEAR.

I'M SORT OF WONDERING, LIKE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE EXPANSION OF THIS PROGRAM IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH COMMUNITY DEMAND FOR THE PROGRAM? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO FIRST I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, BECAUSE I THINK HEARING IT FROM A PARENT THEMSELVES IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN HEARING IT FROM THE PERSON WHO JUST GETS THE PRIVILEGE OF OVERSEEING IT.

RIGHT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND I SHARE THAT FEELING WHEN I HEAR OUR FOUR YEAR OLDS TALK ABOUT COGNATES.

I'M LIKE, YES.

AND THAT'S PART OF OUR BRIDGE AND REALLY SHOWING STUDENTS SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES.

SO IT'S FUN.

WE HAVE HAD A SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE EXPANSION, AND THOSE ARE WITHIN THE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING.

SO THAT WE KNOW WHERE WE WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY AND SPACE TO ADD MORE PROGRAMS. WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL AREAS OF OUR DISTRICT WANTING THE PROGRAM.

SO WE DON'T WANT JUST TWO ON OUR WEST SIDE CLUSTER.

WE REALLY WANT TO EXPAND THAT.

BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH JOHNNY AND THE REST OF THE TEAM WITH THAT LONG RANGE FACILITY PLANNING TO MAKE SURE WE DO IT WHERE WE CAN SUSTAIN PROGRAMS. AND WE'VE HELD TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE PARENT EDUCATION PIECE.

WE'VE HELD 12 PARENT MEETINGS SINCE MARCH 19TH.

AND WE REALLY DO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PARENTS ARE WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE DECISION THEY'RE MAKING.

AND WE ANSWER MANY QUESTIONS AFTER THAT TAKES PLACE.

BUT WE REALLY DO WANT EACH PARENT TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR THEIR CHILD AND FAMILY.

I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, AND I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE YOU ALL DOING THIS.

WE DUG INTO, YOU KNOW, SORT OF DUAL LANGUAGE WHEN OUR SON WAS BORN BECAUSE OF DEAFNESS, LOOKING AT OUTCOMES WHEN YOU DO BOTH ASL AND ENGLISH AND YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES, BUT THE LONG TERM EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR EARLY LIKE DUAL LANGUAGE OR BILINGUALISM ARE VERY GOOD, VERY FAVORABLE.

AND THERE ARE A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THAT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT, OH, WELL, IS YOUR CHILD GOING TO BE DELAYED IN ENGLISH OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER OR ARE THEY MISSING INSTRUCTION BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING INSTRUCTION IN TWO LANGUAGES? YEAH. THERE CAN BE A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS THERE IS THAT DEMAND FOR THE PROGRAM.

AND SO JUST HAVING GONE THROUGH THAT AND SHOWN UP TO THE PARENT MEETINGS AND GOTTEN THE PHONE CALLS AND, LIKE EVERY OTHER PARENT I THINK THAT THAT'S JUST NOT ONLY AS A PARENT IS APPRECIATED, BUT AS A TRUSTEE.

I APPRECIATE THAT Y'ALL ARE TAKING THE EXTRA STEP TO MAKE SURE AND INFORM PARENTS OF THE BENEFITS OF THAT, EVEN SAYING SHE MAY READ A LITTLE BIT SOONER IN SPANISH BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LINGUISTICALLY IT'S KIDS, MAYBE PICK IT UP A LITTLE BIT EARLIER OR.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

AND SO IT WAS AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TOO.

AND, OUR OTHER FAMILIES IN THAT PROGRAM.

SO I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL PARENTS WHO OUR KIDS ARE ALL IN THAT PROGRAM, SAY ARE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KEEPING THEM IN KINDERGARTEN? ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.

SO VERY, VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THAT AND TO NOT ONLY HAVE IT BUT TO SEE IT GROW.

YEAH. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY.

SO GLAD YOU'RE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN POSITIVE.

ANYTHING ELSE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST HAD ONE.

SURE. WHAT IS THE PSYOP? WHAT IS SHELTERED INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE? I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

SURE. THERE'S EIGHT COMPONENTS OF PSYOP, SO IT REALLY GOES THROUGH LOOKING AT LIKE, HOW DO YOU LESSON PREP FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED DIFFERENTIATION? HOW DO YOU CONSIDER BUILDING BACKGROUND? SO INSTEAD OF THINKING THAT MAYBE A STUDENT WON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TOPIC, HOW DO I BRING IN THINGS I KNOW ABOUT MY STUDENT THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO AND START TO BUILD ON? AND SO IT HAS COMPONENTS THAT REALLY WALKS THE TEACHERS THROUGH.

AND THEN THERE'S A WHOLE COMPONENT ON INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES.

SO WE HAVE AN INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL THAT'S REALLY WELL DEVELOPED WITH INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES.

BUT HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO USE THOSE.

AND HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO PUT THE RIGHT SUPPORTS IN PLACE SO THAT I'M SUCCESSFUL WITH THOSE STRATEGIES WITH THE KIDS IN FRONT OF ME? SO IT'S REALLY SHELTERED INSTRUCTION IS WHAT WE CALL A CLASSROOM THAT HAS THE NEEDS OF EMERGENT BILINGUALS. BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE MORE ABOUT IT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU WATCH IT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE TEACHER WHO WAS TEACHING SCIENCE TO THOSE LITTLE FIRST GRADERS AND HE WAS DOING ALL THAT PHYSICAL RESPONSE WITH THAT VOCABULARY AND THE CONCEPT THAT'S GOOD FOR EVERY STUDENT.

AND THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT AREN'T EMERGENT BILINGUALS, BUT DEFINITELY LEARN AND ENGAGE MORE WITH THAT KIND OF VISUALS.

[01:45:07]

AND SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED FOR EMERGENT BILINGUALS, BUT DEFINITELY SERVES A LARGER POPULATION AND IS ABLE TO REALLY GIVE TEACHERS THAT SKILL SET SO THAT THEY FEEL MORE EQUIPPED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING WHEN YOU'RE UP THERE.

THANK YOU.

IS THAT EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SHE LEFT. I THINK WE PULLED HER UP ONE OTHER TIME, I REMEMBER THAT.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 10.3 OF OUR REPORTS, WHICH IS THE SKYWARD ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING.

[10.3 Skyward Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Student Information System (SIS) Update]

ALSO ACRONYM ERP AND THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM ACRONYM SIS UPDATE.

AND I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO DR.

TANNER TO INTRODUCE.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO COME WITH AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR ERP AND SIS.

IMPLEMENTATION IS DEFINITELY OUR DESIRE TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN OUR PROGRESS AND OUR ABILITY TO MEET OUR TARGET DEADLINES.

AND SO, MR. GREG GRIMES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS, IS GOING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS THAT WE HAVE MADE SINCE OUR LAST TIME PRESENTING TO YOU.

SO I TURN IT OVER TO GREG AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU, DR. TANNER.

PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, DR.

WILLIAM, MEMBERS OF THE THE BOARD AND CABINET.

IT'S MY PLEASURE TODAY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE ON THE SKYWARD IMPLEMENTATION.

FIRST THING, JUST A QUICK REMINDER FOR EVERYONE OF EXACTLY WHAT IS AN ERP AND SIS.

SO ERP, ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING.

THAT'S THE MORE THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

SO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, BUDGETS, HUMAN RESOURCES, PAYROLL, TIME CLOCK, ASSET MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEE PORTAL.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF RUNNING A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.

SIS IS MORE OF THE OPERATIONAL SIDE OF THE THE SCHOOLS.

SO OFFICE, ADMINISTRATION, SCHEDULING, GRADEBOOK, ATTENDANCE, ENROLLMENT FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS FAMILY ACCESS, WHICH WILL BE WHAT'S REPLACING OUR CURRENT PARENT PORTAL.

AND STATE REPORTING ACTUALLY APPLIES TO BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE, BOTH ERP AND SIS.

SO THE LAST TIME WE CAME AND PRESENTED AT THE END OF FEBRUARY ON THE ERP SIDE, THE FIRST PHASE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION IS VERY CONSULTING AND PLANNING HEAVY. AT THAT POINT WE HAD COMPLETED 39 SESSIONS FOR ERP CONSULTING 121 TOTAL HOURS.

WE ARE NOW UP TO 54 COMPLETED SESSIONS, 177 TOTAL HOURS ON THE ERP SIDE.

FOR SIS WE HAD BEEN AT 44 SESSIONS 132 HOURS.

WE'RE NOW UP TO 67 COMPLETED SESSIONS, 204 TOTAL HOURS.

I DO WANT TO SAY WHAT I'M ACCOUNTING FOR IN THE SLIDES HERE IS STRICTLY THE CONSULTING TIME WITH SKYWARD DIRECTLY, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL HOURS THAT HAVE GONE ON WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS ON PLANNING BEHIND THE SCENES MAN HOURS OF PEOPLE SITTING IN THESE MEETINGS.

SO IT'S BEEN A DISTRICT WIDE INITIATIVE.

EVERYONE, WE'VE GOTTEN AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HELP.

IT'S NOT A TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE.

IT IS A DISTRICT INITIATIVE.

AND SO THERE'S LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF HOURS THAT HAVE BEEN INVESTED IN THIS SO FAR.

A LITTLE BIT OF A REMINDER ON THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS.

WE DO HAVE A TRAINING ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE USING THAT HAS FAKE DATA.

IT'S NOT NO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FOR PLANO STUDENTS THAT ALLOWS US TO DO RECORDINGS, TO DO SCREENSHOTS, DOCUMENTATION SHOW IT PROJECTED AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WHO IS SEEING THAT? WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF PRELIMINARY SETUPS.

BECAUSE OF THE SPEED THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THIS, WE HAVE A PRELIMINARY SYSTEM RUNNING ERP DATA AND A PRELIMINARY SYSTEM RUNNING SIS DATA SO THAT WE CAN BE DOING VALIDATIONS AND COMPARISONS ON THOSE ON BOTH SIDES.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR LIVE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS THE PIECE THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE THE PERMANENT, ONGOING IMPLEMENTATION OF SKYWARD.

AND THEN FOR THE DATA MIGRATIONS WHEN WE CAME TO YOU THE FIRST TIME, WE WERE REALLY PRIMARILY WORKING ON THE PRELIM PHASE, WHICH IS BRINGING OVER DATA FROM TEAMS. WE HAVE ABOUT 4.5TB OF DATA IN TEAMS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DATA TO GET OUT, PARSE AND BRING OVER TO SKYWARD.

AND SO WE WERE PRETTY HEAVY ON PRELIMS LAST TIME, WHICH WAS THAT INITIAL PULLING OF DATA.

AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GO IN AND VALIDATE AND LOOK AT WHAT MAPPING SKYWARD HAD DONE, SEE WHERE THINGS WERE CORRECT, WE HAD TO CORRECT THINGS WHERE THEY DIDN'T MAP CORRECTLY.

THERE WAS OTHER THINGS WHERE SOMETIMES FIELDS, MAYBE TEAMS HAD MORE CHARACTERS THAN WHAT SKYWARD SUPPORTS.

WE HAD TO CHANGE SOME NAMING CONVENTIONS.

WE'RE NOW GETTING MORE INTO THE GO LIVE PHASE, WHICH IS THE PERMANENT MIGRATIONS.

[01:50:04]

SO THE FIRST FOUR DATA MIGRATIONS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE WERE THE ONES THAT WERE COMPLETE.

THE LAST TIME WE PRESENTED TO YOU AT THAT POINT, ONLY ONE OF THOSE WAS LIVE.

SINCE THEN, WE'VE COMPLETED THE ERP ONE BUSINESS PRELIMINARY AS WELL AS THE ERP TWO BUSINESS PRELIMINARY. THE PRELIMINARY FOR THE ADDITIONAL ERP.

WHICH IS TIME OFF WAREHOUSE AND OPEN PURCHASE ORDERS.

THAT'S A LOT OF THE DATA ON THE FINANCE ON THE BUSINESS SIDE, THAT WILL BE LIVE WHEN WE CROSS OVER TO SKYWARD IN JULY.

WE'VE ALSO TAKEN OUR FULL STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS LIVE.

AND THEN THE LAST LINE ON THIS SLIDE.

FAMILY DEMOGRAPHICS SAYS IT'S IN PROGRESS.

THAT WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETED LAST WEEKEND A WEEK EARLY.

SO WE ARE FULLY LIVE NOW IN OUR FAMILY DEMOGRAPHICS AND OUR STAFF HAS STARTED GOING THROUGH WORKING WHERE THERE'S SOME DUPLICATE FAMILY DATA, CLEANING UP SOME ADDRESSES AND FAMILY INFORMATION.

BUT THAT IS NOW IN OUR LIVE DATABASE COMING UP.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE AT THIS POINT GOING FORWARD, A LIVE MIGRATION.

SO WE'LL PULL DATA FOR THE BUSINESS SIDE.

THE MAIN POOL OF DATA WILL BE AT THE END OF MAY.

WE'LL GET THAT DATA TO REVIEW MIDDLE OF JUNE WITH A TARGET OF GOING LIVE ON SKYWARD THE 1ST OF JULY.

WE'LL BE MOVING OVER OUR HEALTH INFORMATION ON THE SIS SIDE IN JUNE, OUR STATE REPORTING INFORMATION WILL BE PULLED RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY AND WILL BE IN PLACE BY THE END OF JULY.

OUR GRADE HISTORY.

WE WILL PULL IN JULY WITH A GO LIVE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT DATA TOWARDS THE END OF AUGUST.

AND THEN OUR ADDITIONAL ERP TIME OFF WAREHOUSE OPEN PURCHASE ORDERS.

THAT DATA WILL BE PULLED INTO JUNE.

AVAILABLE AT GO LIVE 1ST OF JULY.

THE TIMELINE.

THIS IS MOSTLY THE SAME AS WHAT WE PRESENTED AT THE END OF FEBRUARY.

WE WILL FINISH OUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR FULLY ON TEAMS INCLUDING SUMMER SCHOOL.

FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING.

WE'LL SWITCH OVER IN JULY.

PAYROLL FOR JULY START CONTRACTS WILL BE PAID OUT OF SKYWARD STARTING IN JULY.

TEACHERS WHO WERE STILL GETTING PAID OUT OF LAST YEAR'S BUDGET WILL CONTINUE TO GET PAID IN JULY AND AUGUST ON TEAMS. AND THEY WILL BE PAID.

THEIR FIRST PAYROLL WILL COME OUT OF SKYWARD IN SEPTEMBER.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE TWO DATES THERE AND THEN THE HIGHLIGHTED DATE FOR THE HISTORICAL DATA.

ORIGINALLY THAT WAS GOING TO BE NOVEMBER ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE.

WE DID LOOKING AT THAT NEED TO GET SOME OF THAT DATA IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO RUN TRANSCRIPTS AND GPAS FOR SENIORS FOR EARLY ADMISSION.

SO THIS IS WE WERE ALREADY HAD PUSHED THE DATE UP ONCE FROM WHAT SKYWARD NORMALLY DOES.

THEY'VE BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING TO PUSH BACK EVEN FURTHER INTO AUGUST.

THAT IS WAY AHEAD OF WHEN THEY WOULD NORMALLY PULL THAT.

TO MEET THAT TIMELINE WE ARE WE'RE WORKING WITH COUNSELING SOME OF THE CAMPUSES.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME COUNSELORS AND SOME REGISTRARS WORKING ADDITIONAL OFF CONTRACT DAYS IN THE SUMMER TO HELP GET SOME OF THAT DATA CLEANED UP AND STAGED.

AND SO WE HAVE A VERY TIGHT TIMELINE, AND WE'VE COMMUNICATED THAT TO CAMPUSES.

WE ARE GOING TO PULL FOR THE SENIOR HIGHS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AS WELL.

SOME ADDITIONAL HELP OVER WITH THAT FIRST PRIORITY BEING ON MAKING SURE THAT SENIORS ARE FIRST READY WITH TRANSCRIPTS AND GPA, AND THEN WE WILL FOLLOW IN WITH THE OTHER GRADES AFTER THAT. AND THEN THE LAST PIECE GOING INTO NOVEMBER, TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, I WILL BE APPLICANT TRACKING AND ONBOARDING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE FALL.

THAT'S STILL GOING TO BE DONE AT OUR TEAMS. WE'LL DO OUR POSTING OF JOBS AND HIRING STILL IN TEAMS, AND THEN WE'LL BE PULLING THAT DATA OVER TO SKYWARD WHEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY HIRED AS AN EMPLOYEE.

AND THE REST OF THE ONBOARDING WILL CONTINUE IN SKYWARD FROM THAT POINT.

SOME RECENT MILESTONES.

WE HAD SKYWARD ON SITE TO FINISH OUR SECOND MOCK PAYROLL.

THE FIRST MOCK PAYROLL THAT WE DID IDENTIFIED A LOT OF THINGS WHERE WE HAD MAPPINGS, DATA, THINGS WE NEEDED TO CORRECT.

THE SECOND MOCK PAYROLL A LOT OF THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED.

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS OUT OF THAT HAD A LOT MORE TO DO WITH OUR PROCESSES.

SO THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT, DECISIONS WE NEED TO MAKE ABOUT WHO'S GOING TO HANDLE CERTAIN THINGS, HOW WE WANT TO KIND OF SET OUR PROCESSES TO ADHERE TO HOW WE NEED TO RUN PAYROLL AND SKYWARD.

WE'VE ALSO PRETTY MUCH FINALIZED OUR TEACHER TRAINING PLAN, WHICH WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AS WELL AS OUR FAMILY COMMUNICATION PLAN, WHICH WE'LL ALSO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT.

WE'VE MOVED VERY MUCH ON THE SIS SIDE INTO A LOT OF CONFIGURATIONS.

SO GRADEBOOK, HEALTH ATTENDANCE WERE BASED OFF OF THE CONSULTING SESSIONS AND WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS SKYWARD HAS COME BACK WITH.

WE'RE STARTING TO SET UP THOSE PERMANENT CONFIGURATIONS AND SETTINGS FOR HOW WE'LL HAVE SKYWARD SET UP A LITTLE MORE OF THAT ON THE BUSINESS.

[01:55:06]

AND ERP SIDE WILL COME IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THAT ON THE SIS SIDE.

AND THEN AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT THAT TRANSCRIPT, GRADE HISTORY, TIMELINE WE'VE DEVELOPED TO BE ABLE TO MEET WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR SENIORS ARE TAKEN CARE OF WITH THEIR NEEDS FOR EARLY APPLICATIONS TO COLLEGE.

FOR THE TEACHER TRAINING.

REALLY EXCITED TO SAY WE'VE PARTNERED WITH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ON SOMETHING CALLED THE PLANNER PROGRAM.

THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AMBASSADORS.

SO THIS IS DESIGNED TO BE A FOUNDATIONAL LEARNING FOR CAMPUS STAFF RELATED TO DISTRICT WIDE INITIATIVES AND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION.

THE PL AMBASSADORS ARE PLANNERS OR INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE GOING TO PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT TO CAMPUS STAFF AT THEIR OWN CAMPUSES AND GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN NEW TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL TOOLS, AS WELL AS SOME INSTRUCTIONAL BEST PRACTICES.

FOR THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR THE PLANNERS PRIMARY FOCUS WILL BE ON TRAINING AND SUPPORTING TEACHERS THROUGH SKYWARD AND GRADEBOOK TRAINING.

PLANNERS WILL BE THE FIRST LINE OF TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR THEIR CAMPUSES.

FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, PLANNERS ARE SELECTED BY THE CAMPUS PRINCIPAL.

THE SELECTED STAFF MEMBER HAS TO BE A CURRENT FULL TIME PLANO ISD TEACHER.

THERE WILL BE TWO PLANNER PER HIGH SCHOOL AND SENIOR HIGH, ONE PLANNER PER MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND TRAINING DURING THE SUMMER INSPIRE CONFERENCE.

THEY'LL HAVE A THREE HOUR SESSION EITHER ON MAY 28TH OR 29TH.

WE HAVE THAT SPLIT UP BETWEEN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY.

AND THEN MAY 30TH WE WILL GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK WITH OUR SKYWARD PEOPLE WILL BE ON SITE THAT WEEK FOR ANY QUESTIONS THEY HAVE ANY FOLLOW UPS? ANY ONE ON ONE INSTRUCTION.

THEY WILL ALSO BE EXPECTED TO ATTEND AN ADDITIONAL PULLOUT FULL DAY TRAINING IN THE FALL AND ONE MORE AGAIN IN THE SPRING.

THEY WILL BE SERVING AS A LEADER AND PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THEIR CAMPUS.

AND THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DELIVER TRAINING TO THEIR CAMPUS STAFF DURING STAFF DEVELOPMENT WEEK.

SO THAT FIRST WEEK TEACHERS ARE BACK WHEN WE HAVE STAFF DEVELOPMENT GOING ON, THERE'LL BE 90 MINUTES DEDICATED TO SKYWARD TO GRADE BOOK THE CORE THINGS THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO TO BE UP AND RUNNING ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, TO TAKE ATTENDANCE, TO ENTER GRADES, TO COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS.

AND THEY, AS I MENTIONED, WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AS NEEDED AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

FOR PARENT COMMUNICATION AND TRAINING, I'VE JUST GOT SOME EXAMPLES HERE OF THE KINDS OF COMMUNICATION KIND OF KINDS OF INFORMATION WILL BE COMMUNICATING OUT.

SO ONE PIECE WILL BE, IT'LL BE VERY IMPORTANT IS TIMELINES.

SO SOME EXAMPLES WILL BE JUNE 20TH WILL BE OUR LAST DAY TO SUBMIT EARLY ENROLLMENT FORMS THROUGH TEAMS. JUNE 20TH THROUGH JULY 8TH TEAMS WILL BE INACCESSIBLE TO THE PARENTS FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS.

WE HAVE THAT DOWNTIME FOR DISTRICT STAFF TO BE ABLE TO GO IN AND COMPLETE APPLICATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

SO WE CAN'T CUT IT OFF RIGHT AT OUR DEADLINE, BECAUSE WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROCESS THE SUBMISSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ALREADY SENT IN.

AND THEN APPROXIMATELY JULY 8TH WILL BE OUR SKYWARD GO LIVE DATE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO OPEN UP, START LETTING PARENTS REGISTER FOR ACCOUNTS, BE ABLE TO START DOING ENROLLMENTS FOR THE NEXT YEAR THROUGH SKYWARD INSTEAD OF TEAMS. OTHER TYPES OF THINGS WE'LL COMMUNICATE WILL BE FEATURES.

SO THINGS LIKE NOTIFICATIONS, HOW THEY CAN SET UP THEIR NOTIFICATIONS AND THE APP WHAT THEY WANT TO BE [INAUDIBLE] SORRY.

NOTIFIED ON.

I CAN'T SPEAK TONIGHT.

AND IN WHAT FREQUENCY? HAD TO GO IN AND LOOK AT GRADES.

HAD TO GO IN AND LOOK AT ATTENDANCE.

AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING IS WITH SOME VIDEOS THAT SKYWARD HAS, SKYWARD HAS A LOT OF THEY TEND TO BREAK THEIR TRAINING UP FOR STAFF INTO VERY BITE SIZED CHUNKS. THEY'VE DONE THE SAME FOR THEIR PARENT COMMUNICATIONS.

SO I'VE JUST GOT AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE TYPES OF VIDEOS THAT WE'RE MAKING AVAILABLE TO PARENTS.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE SHOWS JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ATTENDANCE.

MAYBE.

[02:00:32]

OKAY, THERE WE GO.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE ATTENDANCE AREA AND FAMILY ACCESS CAN HELP YOU ENCOURAGE PUNCTUALITY AND FEWER MISSED CLASSES.

CLICK THE ATTENDANCE TILE ON YOUR MAIN DASHBOARD.

THIS WILL PULL UP A LIST OF EVERY RECORDED ABSENCE OR TARDY FOR THE CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR, INCLUDING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS ABSENT, EXCUSED, AND UNEXCUSED AND TARDY COUNTS.

IF YOU'RE UNSURE WHAT THESE ATTENDANCE CODES MEAN, CLICK THE LEGEND ICON IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.

FOR MORE DETAILS, INCLUDING THE CLASS DESCRIPTION AND REMEMBER, POOR ATTENDANCE IS NOT ONLY ASSOCIATED WITH DIMINISHED ACHIEVEMENT, IT CAN ALSO BE AN INDICATOR OF OTHER MORE CONCERNING BEHAVIORS.

CHECK OUT THE OTHER 60 SECOND POWER UPS AND BECOME EVEN MORE SKYWARD SAVVY.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME.

WOULDN'T BE A TECHNOLOGY PRESENTATION WITHOUT A FEW TECHNICAL GLITCHES.

THE LAST TYPE OF THINGS THAT WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING OUT TO PARENTS WILL BE PROCESSES.

SO THINGS LIKE HOW TO SET UP A PARENT ACCOUNT, HOW TO DO THEIR YEARLY REGISTRATION, HOW TO SUBMIT ATTENDANCE NOTES ELECTRONICALLY, WHICH WILL BE A NEW FEATURE THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD IN THE PAST. AND THEN THE METHODS OF COMMUNICATION WILL BE SENDING OUT EMAILS, WILL BE UTILIZING SCHOOL MESSENGER TO SEND OUT TO CALLS.

WE'LL BE UTILIZING THE WEBSITE WITH BANNERS AND ALERTS AS WE GET CLOSER.

SO ANYBODY WHO GOES TO THE WEBSITE, THAT'LL BE FRONT AND CENTER RIGHT THERE.

VIDEOS, WE'VE SHOWED YOU AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE TYPES OF VIDEOS THAT SKYWARD ALREADY PROVIDES TO US.

WE'LL BE DOING OUR OWN CUSTOM VIDEOS ON HOW TO DO REGISTER FOR PARENT ACCOUNTS.

THE WAY WE'RE DOING THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SKYWARD NORMALLY DOES IT THAT I THINK WILL SET US UP BETTER FOR THE LONG RUN, BUT WILL REQUIRE US TO DO OUR OWN CUSTOM VIDEOS BECAUSE IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

WE'LL BE UPDATING OUR WEBSITE LINKS.

SO EVERYWHERE THAT CURRENTLY LINKS TO PARENT PORTAL OR LINKS TO ANYTHING TEAMS RELATED.

WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS HAS BEEN WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY ON IDENTIFYING THOSE PAGES, WHAT WE NEED TO UPDATE SO THAT WHEN WE GET READY 1ST OF JULY, WE CAN HAVE ALL OF THOSE NEW PAGES READY TO GO WITH THE NEW LINKS SO THAT PARENTS WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE CORRECT AREAS.

WORKING ON MATERIALS TO PROVIDE TO CAMPUSES FOR COMMUNICATION SUPPORT SO THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO DO THEIR OWN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEIR PARENTS.

WORKING UP SOME STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND FAQS FOR PARENTS AND THEN EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING ALL THE SKYWARD VIDEOS ALREADY EXIST IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE GEARED TO BE DELIVERED IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AS WELL.

AND THEN THE LAST SLIDE I HAVE FOR YOU HERE IS JUST AN UPDATE ON OUR OVERALL STATUS.

SO THESE ARE VERY LONG RANGING PROJECTS.

BOTH THE ERP AND THE SIS SIDE LASTING OVER A YEAR.

WHEN I CAME INTO FEBRUARY, WE WERE AT ABOUT 24.4% ON THE ERP.

WE'RE NOW AT ABOUT 35.5, SIS.

WE WERE AT 30.3 PREVIOUSLY.

WE'RE NOW AT 52.5.

A LOT OF THE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE LEFT ARE GOING TO BE THE GO LIVE PIECES AND THEN A LOT OF ON SITE SUPPORT FROM SKYWARD.

SO WE HAVE THE TRAINING THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR OUR TEACHER TRAINERS IN MAY.

WE'LL HAVE SOME FOLLOW UP OPPORTUNITIES THIS SUMMER.

WE HAVE SKYWARD BACK ON SITE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

SO AS THOSE TRAINERS ARE DELIVERING THE TRAININGS ON THEIR CAMPUSES, WE'LL HAVE SKYWARD HERE ON SITE DEDICATED TO US THAT IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CALL

[02:05:01]

SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN FOR EXAMPLE, WITH PAYROLL ON THE ERP SIDE, EACH OF OUR FIRST FEW PAYROLLS WILL HAVE SOMEBODY FROM SKYWARD ON SITE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS LEFT TO GO IN THERE.

A LOT OF THAT'S GOING TO BE TRAINING THE ACTUAL FINAL GO LIVE TESTING.

AND THEN THAT BEGINNING OF THE YEAR SUPPORT, WE VERY MUCH STACKED THINGS TOWARDS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE DEDICATED PERSONNEL FOR EACH OF THE AREAS FROM SKYWARD AVAILABLE TO US.

SO IF ANYTHING DOES GO WRONG, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, WE HAVE PEOPLE DEDICATED, THEY'LL BE RIGHT HERE, READY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, NOT CALLING A HELP LINE OR PUTTING IN A TICKET, BUT THAT WE'LL HAVE THAT PERSONALIZED, YOU KNOW, PLANO SPECIFIC SUPPORT AS WE'RE GOING LIVE.

AND SO THAT'S THE LAST I HAVE FOR THE PRESENTATION TODAY.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? I APPRECIATE ALL OF THIS WORK.

THAT DATA MIGRATION PIECE IS JUST SO HUGE.

BUT THE QUESTION I HAVE IS I'M A PARENT, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR EVERY YEAR AT JULY 1ST IN RAPTOR.

WE HAVE TO GO SET UP OUR NEW VOLUNTEER REQUEST FOR THE YEAR TO GET THE NEXT BACKGROUND CHECK.

AND IT'S LIKE IN OUR BRAINS, RIGHT? JUST JULY 1ST.

SO WHEN I GO AND TALK TO THE PTAS AND TO PARENTS, SHOULD I SAY THAT THEY SHOULD WAIT TO START THEIR ACCOUNTS AND SIGN UP FOR THEIR ACCOUNTS UNTIL THEY'RE AVAILABLE, MAYBE START LOOKING MID-JULY? FOR THE VOLUNTEERS THAT IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM SKYWARD THAT WAS NOT CONNECTED TO TEAMS AND IT WILL NOT BE CONNECTED TO SKYWARD.

SO FOR RAPTOR OR VOLLEY THAT WILL STILL BE THE SAME.

IT'S IT'LL BE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE ACCOUNT.

SO THAT CAN GO ON THE NORMAL TIME FRAME.

OKAY. COOL. SO WE'RE GOOD WITH JULY 1 FOR RAPTOR RESET? WE WILL STILL BE GOOD WITH JULY 1ST FOR THAT.

YES. BUT FOR PARENTS TO HELP AID THAT COMMUNICATION AND AMPLIFY THE VOICE OF THE DISTRICT IF THERE'S NEW SKYWARD ACCOUNTS FOR PARENT PORTAL, WHERE WE DO OUR REGISTRATION, THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FIRST TO TWO WEEKS OF JULY? SOMEWHERE YEAH THAT SECOND THE THIRD WEEK OF JULY.

OKAY. GOOD. GOOD.

THANKS. I WAS JUST THINKING THAT THE VOLUNTEER WOULD BE A TILE WITHIN SKYWARD.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE TWO.

OKAY, COOL THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

NO, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM AS WELL AS COMMUNICATIONS TO BLAST IT OUT THERE SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT.

I'LL JUST LET THE PTAS KNOW TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT AND THEN JUST BE ABLE TO RESHARE THAT INFORMATION TO ALL OF THEIR COMMUNITIES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I HAD JUST ONE.

I NOTICED THAT YOU SAID THAT TEAMS IS INACCESSIBLE JUNE 20TH THROUGH JULY 8TH.

AND IF PARENTS NEED TO ENROLL, WHAT DO THEY DO IN THAT GAP PERIOD? THEY'LL HAVE TO JUST WAIT FOR THAT, THAT NEW PERIOD TO OPEN UP.

AND WE'VE HAD TO DO THAT EVERY YEAR EVEN WHEN WE WERE STILL ON TEAMS AND STAYING ON TEAMS FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR, DURING THE ROLLOVER PERIOD, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD WEEK AND A HALF TO TWO WEEKS WHERE WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THEM DO APPLICATIONS.

SO THAT'S PRETTY WELL ESTABLISHED.

MOST PARENTS ARE USED TO THAT.

SO THIS YEAR IT'S MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN NORMAL, BUT IF THEY'VE NOT AND WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNICATION ON THE WEBSITE, IF THEY TRY TO GO DURING THAT PERIOD, IT'LL HAVE THE COMMUNICATION THAT RIGHT NOW THAT REGISTRATION IS CLOSED, COME BACK ON THIS DATE TO BE ABLE TO DO YOUR REGISTRATION.

PERFECT. THEY'LL GET A NOTIFICATION.

IT'LL POP UP. YES THEY WILL.

ALL RIGHT.

GREAT REPORT.

ANYONE ELSE? NO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

NOW WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 10.4 OF OUR REPORTS.

[10.4 Leadership TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) Class of 2024]

AND THAT IS OUR LEADERSHIP TASB, WHICH IS TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS CLASS 2024 PRESENTATION.

AND I INVITE JERI TO PRESENT ABOUT.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

I DON'T HAVE A CLICKER, BUT IT'S ONLY THREE SLIDES.

SO GREATLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU GUYS.

AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE UPDATE.

IT IS AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO BE A PART OF THIS LEADERSHIP TASB EXPERIENCE.

AND Y'ALL ARE CRACKING ME UP.

IT'S REALLY ONLY TWO SLIDES.

BUT I APPRECIATE THIS.

I KNOW I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ONE DOES. THAT ONE THAT SUDDENLY GOT HERE, TOO.

WOW. OKAY. ANYWAY LEADERSHIP TASB BEEN GET TO BE A PART WITH 33 OTHER, APPROXIMATELY 33 OTHER TRUSTEES FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND IT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE.

I SPENT THREE DAYS, BASICALLY, WE ARRIVED ON APRIL THE 10TH, THE EVENING OF TWO AND A HALF DAYS IN HOUSTON AND DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.

AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF INSIGHT AS TO HOW MUCH EXPOSURE WE HAD IN THIS SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

THOSE ARE ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT WE TOUCHED POINTS WITH KATY AND FORT BEND I WILL HIGHLIGHT A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DID SITE VISITS TO THOSE CAMPUSES AND TO

[02:10:07]

THOSE DISTRICTS, BUT WE HAD SPEAKERS FROM ALIEF AND LAMAR AND ROYAL AND THEY WERE SUPERINTENDENTS, AND THEY WERE OTHER TRUSTEE MEMBERS FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES.

AND THEN THE HOMETOWN NEWS, EACH OF US I MY HOMETOWN NEWS WHEN WE WERE IN CORPUS.

BUT THIS IS THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT PRESENT TO US TO TALK ABOUT NINE MINUTES, THE HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR DISTRICTS.

AND IT'S JUST AMAZING, THE SPONGE YOU BECOME AND HOW MUCH YOU LEARN AND PERSPECTIVE.

I REALLY WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS BECAUSE TEXAS IS SO BIG AND SO VAST THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAD AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES, AND IT'S JUST FASCINATING.

YOUR KIDS HAVE TO GO HOW FAR ON A BUS EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THESE MANY RESOURCES OR YOU DON'T HAVE THESE RESOURCES.

ONE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, EVERY STUDENT HAS AN APPLE PRODUCT.

THEY HAVE APPLE IPADS, I MEAN, ALL OF THEM.

AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY EXCITING TO HEAR.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT WE GOT TO DO.

I ESPECIALLY WAS EXCITED THIS PARTICULAR FIELD TRIP IS BECAUSE WE GOT TO VISIT TWO DIFFERENT CTE CENTERS.

AND SO LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THOSE.

SO I'LL JUST REALLY GIVE YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS.

KATY, THE MILLER CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 2007, WHICH IS REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID, WELL, WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS DIFFERENTLY OR WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS DIFFERENTLY.

AND SO IT WAS REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS TEXTING THERESA GOING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT I'M LEARNING.

AND SHE'S LIKE, I'M DOING SOMETHING TOO.

SO THAT WAS REALLY GREAT.

BUT REALLY A LOT OF GREAT THINGS GOING ON THERE FOR KATY.

KATY IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN WE ARE.

I THINK THEY'RE ABOUT 90,000 STUDENTS.

SO HOUSTON SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE VERY LARGE.

THE RAINES ACADEMY WAS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL.

I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO DR. GOBER ABOUT THIS AND SOME OTHERS.

IT WAS AN ACADEMY FOR STUDENTS 17 AND OLDER, AND IT WAS A FACILITY JUST TO HELP WITH CREDIT ACCREDITATION ACCELERATION. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

IT IS COMPLETELY DONE DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER CAMPUS THAT YOU'VE EVER BEEN A PART, BECAUSE IT IS REALLY IT'S OPEN FROM 7 A.M.

TO 6 P.M.

EVERY DAY, AND STUDENTS ARE JUST ASKED TO BE THERE DURING A FOUR HOUR INCREMENT SOMETIME DURING THE DAY SO THEY CAN COME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY.

THEY CAN COME AT THE END OF THE DAY.

THESE ARE STUDENTS WHO MAY EITHER BE PREGNANT OR PARENTS.

IT COULD BE STUDENTS WHO ARE UNHOUSED.

IT COULD BE STUDENTS THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON, GOT BEHIND IN THEIR CREDITS.

AND SO IT'S JUST AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FACILITY.

A COUPLE OF ASPECTS OF IT THAT GAVE ME PAUSE IS THAT THEY HAVE AN ACCESS IN THEIR DOWNSTAIRS BASEMENT AREA.

WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT BASEMENT.

[INAUDIBLE] TEXAS. BEEN THERE DOWNSTAIRS THEY HAVE A FULL ACCOUTERMENT OF WASHERS AND DRYERS BECAUSE THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A WASHER AND DRYER, AND SO THEY CAN COME AND DO THEIR CLOTHES IN THIS FACILITY.

AND IT'S ADJACENT TO ACROSS THE PARKING LOT FROM THE CTE CENTER.

SO THEY COULD DO FOUR HOURS OF CREDIT RECOVERY, BUT THEN THEY ALSO HAVE ROOM IN THEIR SCHEDULE SO THEY COULD GO OVER AND GET CERTIFICATIONS AND DO THINGS AT THE.

IT'S SO NICE.

THE OTHER THING THAT WAS REALLY COOL, THE PRINCIPAL WAS ALSO EXTREMELY DYNAMIC.

HE WANTED THEM TO BE SURE AND HAVE A REGULAR EXPERIENCE OF WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE AS ADULTS INTO THE ADULT WORLD.

AND SO WE WALKED UP THIS BANK OF STAIRS AND IT WAS A WORKOUT FACILITY LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN, EVEN IN COMPETITIVE WITH LIKE LIFETIME OR ANY OF THOSE KIND OF PLACES, BECAUSE PHYSICAL FITNESS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

BUT THESE KIDS ARE NOT GOING TO BE KIND OF KIDS WHO ARE GOING TO BE IN THE GYM, BUT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT SO THAT THEY CAN WORK OUT.

AND AGAIN, ANYTIME IN THAT TIME PERIOD FROM 7 A.M.

TO 6 P.M.. SO IT REALLY WAS REALLY GREAT WRAP AROUND.

THE OTHER THING THAT WAS GREAT IS THEY DO HAVE A DRIVER'S COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE.

THEY HAD THREE GIANT TRUCKS ON THE PARKING LOT, AND STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO AT 18, BE ABLE TO HAVE A COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE EARLY.

SO IT'S PRETTY AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THEIR, GET THEIR CREDITS, GET THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, AND THEN HAVE A JOB THAT'S GOING TO GIVE THEM A PRETTY GOOD, DECENT WAGE.

AND THEN THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING AT AND WAS VERY PROUD OF THEM TO SAY NOT EVERY KID CAN MAKE IT.

AND SO THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING AT HAVING A DRE PROGRAM THERE.

IT'S NOT THEY DON'T GET ANY CREDIT FOR IT.

IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM NECESSARILY, BUT IT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS.

SO IT WAS A PRETTY AMAZING FACILITY.

IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE.

WE DID THAT ON THURSDAY.

ON FRIDAY WE WENT TO FORT BEND ISD.

AND IT WAS ALSO WE EXPLORED THEIR JAMES REESE CENTER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER.

PLEASE NOTE THE YEAR IT OPENED AND WE'LL ALL PAUSE.

BUT BEFORE IT COULD OPEN THEY HAD A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.

AND THIS IS WHERE WE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT HOW A SCHOOL BOARD, A GROUP OF TRUSTEES, A LEADERSHIP TEAM MAY HAVE TO NAVIGATE SOME THINGS YOU DON'T

[02:15:01]

EXPECT. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE SUGAR LAND 95, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GOOGLE IT AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS ABOUT IT.

BUT THEY BROKE GROUND ON THEIR CAMPUS FOR THE CTE CENTER, AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE BODIES BURIED ON THE PROPERTY THAT THEY HAD. NOT BODY BODIES.

95 GRAVES WERE FOUND ON THIS PARTICULAR PLOT OF LAND.

AND IT WAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT PLOT OF LAND FOR WHAT THEIR FACILITY WAS GOING TO.

IT WAS WHERE ALL THE WATER, ALL THE ELECTRICITY WAS COMING THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS SUGAR LAND.

AND DURING THE TIME OF RECONSTRUCTION OUR RULES AS A 13TH AMENDMENT, WHICH PROVIDED FOR THE FREEDOM OF PEOPLE FROM BEING ENSLAVED HAD A PROVISION IN IT THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME.

AND SO DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS OF SUGAR FIELDS THAT NEEDED TO BE ATTENDED TO, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE IN COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS EVERYWHERE BUT IN SUGAR LAND WHERE THEY CHANGED THE RULES FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR AND HOW THEY CAN CONDUCT THEMSELVES.

SO YOU COULD LOOK AT A WHITE WOMAN AND YOU COULD BE PUT IN JAIL.

YOU COULD WALK ACROSS THE STREET IN THE WRONG WAY AND YOU COULD BE PUT IN JAIL.

AND SO THEN THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED A CONVICT LEASING PROGRAM.

SO THEN THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE SUGAR FIELDS CAN HAVE THESE FOLKS FROM RENT, IF YOU WILL, HUMAN BEINGS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY MUCH AT ALL FOR THEM TO DO HARD LABOR.

UNLIKE SLAVERY, WHERE THIS IS JUST THIS IS A REALLY HARD STORY.

UNLIKE IN SLAVERY, WHERE SOMEONE OWNED A HUMAN BEING AND THAT WAS THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY WANTED THEIR PROPERTY TO BE HEALTHY, YOU HAVE A CONVICT THAT'S WORKING FOR YOU AND YOU WORK THEM TO DEATH, LITERALLY.

AND THEN YOU CAN JUST GO GET ANOTHER PERSON AT THE JAIL.

SO IN THIS PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD, THERE WERE ACTUALLY MORE THAN 95 GRAVES, BUT THERE WERE 95 GRAVES THAT HAD BODIES IN THEM.

SO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAD TO PAUSE THEIR ENTIRE CTE PROGRAM, THEIR WHOLE BUILDING.

THEY HAD TO THEY EXHUMED ALL THE BODIES AND IT COST THEM TO THE TUNE OF $125,000 A WEEK TO HAVE THEM BE PRESERVED THE WAY THEY NEEDED TO BE PRESERVED WHILE THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DOING WITH ALL OF THEM.

THAT WAS TWO YEARS THAT THEY WERE SPENDING $125,000 A WEEK FOR THIS.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY DID NOT GET ANY SUPPORT FROM ANYBODY ELSE, NO ONE FROM THE STATE, NO ONE FROM THEY WENT TO THE BUSINESS THAT WAS IN TOWN, A PURE CANE SUGAR, WHICH IS THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS LONG HISTORY.

AND THEY SAID INTERESTING.

THEY HAD NO SUPPORT.

AND BEFORE IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE BETWEEN ATTORNEYS AND FIGURING OUT ALL THE THINGS, IT WAS A OVER TWO YEAR PROCESS AND THEY THE 12 MILLION ALONE WAS TO TAKE CARE OF THE BODIES, BUT THEY ENDED UP DOING DNA TESTING ON ALL OF THEM.

THEY DID ALL OF THIS LEGAL THAT THEY HAD TO DO IT WAS TO THE TUNES OF IT WAS EITHER 50 OR $500 MILLION THAT THEY HAD TO EXPEND TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THIS.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT ZERO IS IN THERE, BUT IF YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, AS JOHNNY IS NOW LOOKING OVER THERE GOING, WHERE WOULD WE COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY TO DO THIS? AND THIS IS NOT PART OF THE MISSION.

SO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAD TO MAKE SOME REALLY HARD CHOICES.

THERE WAS A LOT OF UNREST IN THE COMMUNITY.

ALL THE TRUSTEES HAD THE BENEFICIARY OF POLICE OFFICERS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSES, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN THAT BEFORE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

BUT IT WAS REALLY, REALLY HARD.

BUT THEY LEARNED A LOT.

AND THEY FINALLY MADE SOME DECISIONS.

AND SO THEY HAVE THERE IS THE BODIES WERE PLACED BACK IN THE, IN THE GROUND.

ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN DNA TESTED.

AND THEY HOPE THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THAT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS TRYING TO RAISE MONEY TO PROVIDE A PROPER MEMORIAL AND A PROPER HISTORICAL LANDMARK TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THESE STORIES.

BUT THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT IT IS IN MY CLASS THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF KATY ISD AT THE TIME, AND HE'S NO LONGER A SITTING TRUSTEE.

IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC TIME PERIOD FOR HIM IN PARTICULAR.

AND HE WALKED US THROUGH DAY BY DAY, ALMOST WEEK BY WEEK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT THEIR BOARD HAD TO FACE AND WHAT THEY HAD TO COME UP FROM THAT FROM.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WITH FROM THIS IS THEY DUG INTO POLICY AND THEY DUG INTO SOME THINGS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS.

SO I'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

SO OF ALL OF I'VE LEARNED.

CONSIDERATIONS, THINGS TO THINK ABOUT THAT I LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE.

ONE IS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR CTE CENTER TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY.

THE KATY EXCUSE ME, FORT BEND HAD THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A PHYSICAL THERAPY UNIT AS PART OF THEIR CTE CENTER AND THEN COME TO FIND OUT, THAT WASN'T GOING TO WORK, AND THERE WAS SOME SPACING ISSUES BECAUSE THEY LOST A GREAT DEAL PART OF THEIR FACILITY.

[02:20:04]

SO THEY PIVOTED.

AND THEY HAVE A VETERINARY FACILITY NOW, WHICH IS INTERESTING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT.

THE OTHER THING, ESPECIALLY FROM KATY TO FORT BEND, IS HOW IMPORTANT AND I KNOW WE ARE DOING THIS, BUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO INTEGRATE THE CLASSROOM IN THE LAB IN THE SAME SPOT. SO WHEN KATY DID THEIRS, THEY WOULD HAVE THE CLASSROOM AND THEN EITHER ACROSS THE HALL OR THROUGH A WALL, THERE WOULD BE THE LAB.

AND THAT BECAME PROBLEMATIC.

AND THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY INSTALL WINDOWS SO THAT TEACHERS COULD SEE STUDENTS.

AND SO THAT DOES INCREDIBLE PART.

FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS WHEN YOU ARE BUILDING NEW ON A PIECE OF LAND, IS TO DO A LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT STATEMENT. SO WHO HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE? WHO HAS BEEN THERE, A PART OF THAT? AND SO THAT KIND OF CAME PART OF WHAT FORT BEND DID.

AND HAVING A SCHOOL BOARD POLICY COMMITTEE WHERE YOU LOOK AT AND EVALUATE YOUR POLICIES AND WHAT THEY ARE, THE BIGGEST BULLET POINT WAS NEVER WASTE A CRISIS. SO WHEN SOMETHING'S HAPPENING, FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PUT IT INTO PROCEDURE, PUT THINGS INTO POLICY.

SO FORT BEND ISD HAS A LOCAL POLICY THAT EVERY SINGLE STUDENT IN FORT BEND ISD WILL LEARN ALL ABOUT THE SUGAR LAND 95 THEY WILL LEARN ALL ABOUT CONVICT LEASING.

THEY WILL LEARN ABOUT THEY ARE FILLING OUT THE DNA AND KNOWING THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE A PART OF THIS.

AND EVERY STUDENT AS PART OF THEIR POLICY, MUST HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORY OF WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN IN, WHICH IS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

SO OVERALL, THINGS TO BE AWARE OF AND THINGS THAT I VALUE.

ONE IS PROXIMITY.

YOU CAN READ ABOUT SOMETHING ALL DAY LONG, BUT UNTIL YOU TOUCH IT AND SEE IT AND FEEL IT, YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE REALITIES OF ALL THE THINGS.

AND SO HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE GONE TO EL PASO AND TO GO TO CORPUS AND GO TO HOUSTON, AND TO BE ABLE TO LEARN FROM PEOPLE WHO I WOULD NEVER PROBABLY MEET OTHERWISE, NECESSARILY BECAUSE THERE IN A SMALL OR THEY'RE FAR AWAY.

AND THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT BEING A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND HAVING THESE EXPERIENCES TOGETHER.

COLLABORATION. WE ARE ALL ASSIGNED TO A TASK, A LEARNING, AND WE WILL BE PRESENTING THOSE IN JUNE AT FORT WORTH. AND MY GROUP'S TOPIC IS AND I THINK I'VE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.

WE CALL THEM PROTOCOLS.

EVIDENTLY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED PROCEDURES.

BUT COLLABORATING WITH PEOPLE FROM VERY DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO COME UP WITH WHAT ARE THE BEST PRACTICES FOR BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.

AND SO I WILL HAVE ALL OF THAT WHEN WE FINISH OUR RESEARCH AND HAVE THAT PRESENTATION.

AND THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT ALL THIS IS ADVOCACY AND WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY IS TO LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND LEARN HOW WE CAN BE BETTER ADVOCATES FOR WHAT WE DO.

AND OUR CLASS IS VERY MUCH PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT WE CAN BE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT 5.2 MILLION STUDENTS HAVE FULLY FUNDED SCHOOLS AND FULLY FUNDED PROGRAMS. SO IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

APPLICATIONS FOR CLASS 2025 ARE NOW OPEN.

THEY WILL APPLICATIONS THEY WILL TAKE UNTIL JULY 1ST.

THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THAT YOU DO HAVE TO BE SITTING MEMBER OF YOUR SCHOOL BOARD FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS UPON APPLICATION.

SO I'M AFRAID THAT THAT THE THREE OF YOU AREN'T ABLE YET.

BUT I DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT YOU MIGHT DO IT IN THE NEXT YEAR AND BE READY FOR IT.

EVERYONE WHO COMES AWAY FROM THIS, I REMEMBER WHEN TAMMY RICHARDS DID IT WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE BOARD, AND SHE TALKED ABOUT WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IT WAS.

NANCY HAS TALKED ABOUT WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IT HAS BEEN.

IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

AND SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT THIS DISTRICT MANY OF MY CLASSMATES ARE PAYING FOR THIS EXPERIENCE OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET BECAUSE THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT SUPPORT DOING THIS.

SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE IN.

I'M TELLING YOU, I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S FASCINATING WHAT YOU LEARN.

AND SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT VALUES THIS AND VALUES THIS PROGRAM AND IS VALUED PUTTING INVESTING IN ME SO THAT I CAN BE A BETTER TRUSTEE.

I MEAN, I'VE BECOME BETTER JUST BY BEING A PART OF THIS.

AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY HOW VERY GRATEFUL I AM TO BE A PART OF SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE STORIES OF OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER PLACES, YOU KIND OF GET A GREAT APPRECIATION FOR HOW GREAT HOME IS.

AND I WILL SAY, AS I ALWAYS DO, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO BE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE WE HAVE THE TRIFECTA OF A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CITY AND A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CHAMBER.

AND I'M TELLING YOU ALL THAT IS A UNICORN, MORE THAN WE WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE.

SO WE ARE VERY, VERY GRATEFUL.

SO I DO HAVE BECAUSE I DID IT QUESTIONS.

[LAUGHTER] COME ON MICHAEL, I NEED ONE.

[02:25:04]

I'M JUST TEASING. SO I WAS LIKE, NO, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I HAVE A COMMENT.

YOU HAVE A COMMENT. GO AHEAD.

SO JUST SO THE TWO PIECES OF FEEDBACK FOR THE CTE CENTER ACTUALLY WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, AS THE DESIGN HAS, IS IN PROCESS WITH OURS SO FLEXIBILITY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO THAT LONG TERM, IF THE TREND CHANGES AND WE NEED TO CONSIDER A DIFFERENT PROGRAM, IT DOESN'T REQUIRE CONSTRUCTION AND TEARING DOWN AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

SO THAT'S, ONE THE SECOND ONE IS ALSO HAVING THE LAB AND THE CLASSROOM SPACE ADJACENT, OPEN, VISIBLE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. AND THEN THE THIRD IS PART ONE, PART OF THE HUCKABEE TEAM THAT HAS BEEN ALONG ASSIGNED TO PLANO ISD AND WITH US THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY.

ONE OF THEIR PEOPLE ACTUALLY WAS THE CTE DIRECTOR IN FORT BEND.

YEAH, YEAH. WHAT A SMALL WORLD.

YEAH. SO ANYWAY WE LEARNED A LOT FROM HER AS SHE HELPED OUR TEAM WORK THROUGH DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS AND PLANNING PROCESSES.

SO A COUPLE OF INTERESTING THINGS WAS THE WELDING FACILITY HAS 20 BAYS.

IT WAS A HUGE, HUGE FACILITY, AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE WELDING CENTER SAID, IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

NOW THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID, FOR THEY ARE IN HOUSTON AND THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR BECAUSE OF THE PORTS AND BECAUSE OF THE OIL INDUSTRY THAT IS THERE, THAT THERE IS A PIPELINE OF EMPLOYMENT FOR KIDS IN THAT ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS FASCINATING.

AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF COOL.

AND THERE WAS THEY ALSO HAVE IT'S AQUATICS FOR, YOU KNOW, AQUATICS FOR ANIMAL, YOU KNOW, FOR ANIMALS, AQUATIC ANIMALS.

THEY HAVE A WHOLE SECTION ON THAT THAT'S THERE, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, WITH THERE BEING ON THE COAST.

THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING. BUT YEAH.

THE FLEXIBILITY IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S NOT GOING TO BE A THING ANYMORE.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL.

AND THANK YOU, NANCY, FOR PROVIDING ME THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL.

OH YOU'RE WELCOME. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THE CLASS.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD AS TRUSTEES IF WE ARE SO INTERESTED IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM.

AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO JUST SAY THAT CLASS 2015 WAS THE BEST CLASS EVER.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY. ALL RIGHT, A LITTLE JEALOUSY THERE, BUT I WILL SAY THAT I FORMED A LOT OF FRIENDSHIPS FROM LEADERSHIP TASB. I KNOW MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE THAT ARE STILL ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, THAT I CAN JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL AND WE CAN SHARE BEST PRACTICES, AND WE SEE EACH OTHER AT CONFERENCE, AND IT'S JUST A GREAT EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.

WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER WITH ADVOCACY.

AND SO IT'S AMAZING PROGRAM.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING IT.

AND WE'LL HOPEFULLY WHEN IS YOUR NEXT ONE? IN JUNE. THAT'S IT.

GRADUATION. JUNE IS SLI.

PART OF SLI THE FRIDAY NIGHT GRADUATION.

SO MY TEAM'S PROJECT WAS THE CHALLENGES FACING FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

I WONDER HOW THAT HAPPENED.

I MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN IT THERE.

ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

VERY EYE OPENING.

SO NOW WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 11.1 POLICIES.

[11.1 Approval of Policy CT(LOCAL) Facilities Planning on First Reading]

AND THAT IS THE APPROVAL OF OUR POLICY CT LOCAL FACILITIES PLANNING ON FIRST READING.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE PRESENTING? I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO JUMP IN THERE.

OH, THERE YOU ARE. I SEE IT.

I DIDN'T READ THAT LINE BELOW.

PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS, CABINET AND BOARD MEMBERS THIS IS ACTUALLY PROPOSED NEW POLICY, WHICH IS CT LOCAL, WHICH IS FACILITY PLANNING.

AND THIS THIS POLICY IS PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL UNDER FIRST READING THIS EVENING.

AND CONSIDERING THE MATTER OF CONSOLIDATING OR CLOSING SCHOOLS, THIS PROPOSED NEW POLICY ALIGNS WITH THE INTENT AND THE DESIRE OF THE BOARD TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH HIGH QUALITY ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND A SUPPORTIVE EDUCATIONAL ATMOSPHERE.

THIS POLICY ALSO SUPPORTS THE BOARD'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT GOOD FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP REQUIRES THE EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES.

INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR REFERENCE IS PROPOSED CT EXHIBIT, WHICH OUTLINES THE FACILITY EFFICIENCY FRAMEWORK AND THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES USED BY THE LONG RANGE FACILITY ADVISORY PLANNING COMMITTEE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I REFERRED TO THIS POLICY EARLIER.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT.

MAY I HAVE A MOTION, PLEASE? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES POLICY CT LOCAL FACILITY PLANNING FACILITIES PLANNING ON FIRST READING.

[02:30:03]

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I'LL WEIGH IN ON THIS ONE, TOO.

GOING THROUGH THE FACILITY PROCESS HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING.

AND AS IS WE'VE OUTLINED TO THE COMMUNITY MANY, MANY TIMES.

AND DR.

WILLIAMS ALLUDED TO THIS EARLIER YOU KNOW, PLANO IS LARGELY BUILT OUT.

JOHNNY HAS THROWN UP THAT BAR GRAPH WITH THE LINE GRAPH IN IT THAT SHOWS OUR ENROLLMENT OVER TIME AS WELL AS OPEN SEATS OVER TIME.

AND WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS THIS LAST YEAR ON THE FACILITY PLANNING.

BUT IT'S COMPLETELY UNCHARTED TERRITORY FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

RIGHT. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF PLANO AND HOW SCHOOLS DEVELOPED AND HOW OUR NEIGHBORHOODS DEVELOPED AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND, AND JUST HAVING GROWN UP HERE, I SAW MUCH OF THIS AS A CHILD.

RIGHT? LIKE JUST HOUSES GOING UP LEFT AND RIGHT AND THESE SCHOOLS GOING UP EVERYWHERE.

AND NOW THAT WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT PHASE OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE ARE IN UNCHARTERED WATERS AND WE'RE, GOING DOWN A NEW PATH.

AND WHAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS POLICY AND HAVING A POLICY FOR IT IS THE TRANSPARENCY OF THIS PROCESS.

AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THESE MEETINGS AND, YOU KNOW, THE FRAMEWORK WAS PRESENTED SOME OF THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THIS POLICY, THE EFFICIENCY FRAMEWORK AND THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES WERE PRESENTED AT THESE COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

BUT PUTTING IN A POLICY REALLY SORT OF CODIFIES IT IN A WAY SO THAT PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T ATTEND THOSE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, OR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT REGULAR WATCHERS OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS CAN GO AND REFERENCE THAT ON THE WEBSITE.

AND YOU KNOW, I TEND TO THINK PROBABLY ABOUT 90% OF WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS, IS NOT TRUE. AND MAYBE THAT'S MY OWN BIAS, BUT THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING HERE IS WE ALL HAVE TRUSTEES HAVE SEEN A LOT OF VERY INTERESTING SPECULATION ABOUT THIS FACILITY WORK ALL OVER THE INTERNET, OR HEARD SPECULATION.

I WAS AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY TWO WEEKS AGO, AND A MOM TOLD ME WE WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE TEN SCHOOLS, AND I WAS LIKE, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT YET.

[LAUGHTER] AND I AM PERHAPS IN A POSITION TO KNOW.

AND SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK IN DOING THIS, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY WHEN AND WHY WE WOULD CHOOSE TO MAKE A DRAMATIC CHANGE, LIKE CONSOLIDATING A CAMPUS OR LIKE RETIRING A CAMPUS.

AND THEN WHAT WE, AS A BOARD LAID OUT IN THE EFFICIENCY FRAMEWORK, AS WELL AS THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE PUT TOGETHER AS A GROUP SO THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE HERE IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE WAS ASKED TO CONSIDER.

HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT TO THE BOARD, THE PEOPLE DOING THIS WORK SO THAT EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THIS WORK HAS BEEN DONE. AND THIS MAY NOT BE THE LAST TIME WE HAVE TO DO THIS WORK.

I THINK THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THAT BASED ON BIRTH RATES, OR WE ALL EXPECT A LOT OF THE HOUSING TO REGENERATE. WHEN PEOPLE LIKE MY PARENTS SELL THEIR HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH MY PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL THEIR HOUSE BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE CHILDCARE FOR ME A LOT.

BUT WE, YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT A LOT OF REGENERATION AND WE EXPECT SOME CHANGES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND UNDERSTANDING HOW WE HAVE PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES AND A PROCESS TO ADAPT TO THOSE CHANGES, WHETHER IT'S GROWTH OR WHETHER IT IS YOU KNOW.

NOT NECESSARILY CONTRACTION, BUT WE HAVE CAMPUSES THAT WE MAY NOT NEED RIGHT NOW, OR WE HAVE PROPERTIES THAT WE MAY NOT NEED RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO PROVIDE MORE TRANSPARENCY TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO I APPRECIATE THE NEW POLICY HERE IN THE ATTEMPT TO DO THAT.

WELL, AND I EVERYTHING YOU SAID I AGREE WITH AND THE INTENTIONALITY BEHIND THIS POLICY IS JUST THAT.

AND I DON'T THINK THIS BOARD WILL ALWAYS BE THIS BOARD, BECAUSE AT SOME POINT, WE WILL RETIRE AND MOVE ON. I'M SURE THAT THE EARLIER SPEAKER HOPES THAT SOONER THAN LATER FOR ME, BUT THIS PUTS IT INTO A DOCUMENT THAT WE CAN FOLLOW AND THAT FUTURE BOARDS CAN BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND.

OKAY, WHY DID THEY DO IT THIS WAY? AND WHAT IS THE ROADMAP THAT WE CAN FOLLOW.

SO THIS IS INTENTIONAL BY DESIGN.

SO I THINK YOU HAVE A COMMENT.

YEAH. I THINK WE CAN BE GRATEFUL THAT I MEAN, THE COMMENT THAT I LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE AT FORT BEND WAS NEVER WASTE A CRISIS.

[02:35:06]

AND THIS ISN'T A CRISIS, OKAY? WE ARE WE ARE BEING FINANCIAL STEWARDS AND WE'RE MAKING HARD DECISIONS.

AT THE SAME TIME.

WHAT THE INTENT OF NEVER WASTE A CRISIS MAKE SURE YOU PUT WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED INTO POLICY.

AND SO THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF US TAKING THE PROCESSES THAT WE HAVE LEARNED THIS TIME AROUND.

AND WE'RE PUTTING INTO POLICY. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS POLICY IS IT STILL TALKS ABOUT GUIDELINES.

IT DOESN'T SAY THIS IS THE LAW.

THIS IS JUST THE THIS IS OUR GUIDELINES AND OUR WORKING DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH.

SO TEN, 15 YEARS IF THEY HAVE TO REFER TO THIS AGAIN, IT'S A STARTING POINT.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF POLICY.

RIGHT. WE LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S WORKING AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK WE'RE GOING IN TO CHANGE IT AND MAKE IT BETTER.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A GUIDING.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DOCUMENT TO WORK OFF OF.

SO I THINK I'M VERY PLEASED THAT WE ARE DOING THIS.

I THINK IT'S ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT TO LAUREN'S POINT IS AS WE HAVE SEEN IN OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS, CLOSING FACILITIES IS ONE THING, BUT THEN WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS ATTENDANCE ZONES IS ALSO GOING TO BE THE NEXT CONCERN OF PEOPLE IS TO WHERE THEIR KIDDOS ARE GOING TO BE GOING AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO MORPH AND CHANGE.

SO THIS IS A GREAT IT'S IN WRITING PRIOR TO US HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE CHALLENGES SO WE CAN USE IT AS A GUIDE AS WELL.

SO. I JUST HAVE TWO COMMENTS.

ONE IS YOU KNOW, AND I WAS GOING TO I'M GLAD YOU SAID WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE CRISIS PIECE AND HAVING THIS WRITTEN DOWN.

SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT COMMENT AT THAT POINT.

BUT THE OTHER IS THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO, ONE BE REFLECTIVE AS WE ARE NAVIGATING UNCHARTED WATERS.

WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIND AND LEARN HISTORY.

YOU KNOW WHY? WHY, DID THIS HAPPEN? WE'VE HEARD, WE'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, STORIES AND THINGS FROM THE PAST.

AND SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS, HAS BEEN THROUGH REACHING OUT AND LISTENING AND HEARING BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING IN WRITING FOR US. SO LAYING THAT GROUNDWORK.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMMISSIONING AND ASKING ADMINISTRATION TO CONSIDER PUTTING A DOCUMENT IN PLACE THAT THEN CAN CARRY THE NEXT SET OF BOARDS.

NEXT SET OF LEADERSHIP THROUGH.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

THERE ARE SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES ARE CHANGING ALL THE TIME.

AND GOING BACK AND LEARNING ABOUT OUR HISTORY.

WHEN WE WERE GROWING 1100 STUDENTS AND WE WERE BUILDING SCHOOLS ALL THE TIME, THOSE ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES WERE CHANGING ALL THE TIME.

AND EVEN THEN THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WE COULD FIND WITH REGARD TO WRITTEN GUIDELINES THAT COULD THEN BE PASSED DOWN.

I'M SURE THAT THERE WERE GUIDELINES THAT WERE USED.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THERE, BUT THIS REALLY KIND OF SET SOME IT WILL BE ADOPTED AT SOME POINT AND IT'S THERE AND IT'S A ROAD MAP FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO FOLLOW.

I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE FOR YOUR COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP.

WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING OR THAT WE'RE EMBARKING ON, NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO DO THIS WORK BECAUSE IT'S HARD AND IT'S EMOTIONAL.

BUT IT TO ME, IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO HARD WORK.

IT'S THAT YOU ARE ALL COURAGEOUS, THAT YOU BELIEVE WHAT AND WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS.

YOU ALL BELIEVE IN BEING GOOD STEWARDS.

YOU ALL BELIEVE WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR OATH TO SERVE IN THIS POSITION, THAT YOU WOULD DO IT TO YOUR FULLEST ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STABILITY AND THE FUTURE OF THE DISTRICT WAS ON THE RIGHT PATH.

AND THAT MEANS SOMETIMES DOING THE HARD WORK.

AND SO HERE WE ARE DOING THAT HARD WORK.

AND I HAVE TO THANK OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM ALSO HAVE TO THANK OUR 75 MEMBERS.

THEY HAVE SPENT EVENING AFTER EVENING REALLY IN THE WORK.

AND ANYONE WHO IS LISTENING AT THIS TIME OR WANTS TO LISTEN AT THIS TIME, EVERYTHING IS ON OUR WEBSITE.

EVERYTHING THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS LOOKED AT IS THERE FOR THE PUBLIC.

AND, THAT'S WE'VE SAID OFTEN THESE ARE NOT OUR SCHOOLS.

YES, ARE OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE WE'RE ENTRUSTED TO CARE FOR THEM, BUT THEY'RE THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.

THEREFORE WE'RE WALKING THROUGH THE DIFFICULTIES TOGETHER AND IT'S OPEN AND IT'S TRANSPARENT.

SO. THAT WAS LONGER THAN A MINUTE.

THAT'S OKAY. WELL, AND TO ADD, YOU'VE ALSO HAD MANY NUMEROUS MEETINGS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WHERE YOU OBTAINED FEEDBACK AT THE MEETING

[02:40:01]

OR YOU RECEIVED QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE ANSWERED.

AND THOSE ARE IN THE FAQS ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.

SO IF ANYBODY IS LISTENING, YOU CAN GET ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND DATA FROM THE WEBSITE.

I THINK JUST TO ADD TO THAT, ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THIS HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, THESE FACILITY PLANNING OR CHANGES TO FACILITIES HAS BEEN GOING ON IN DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE, AND DIFFERENT DISTRICTS HAVE CHOSEN THEIR OWN PROCESSES AND MADE THEIR OWN PLANS AND HOW TO DO THIS.

AND SOME HAVE HAD DIFFERING LEVELS OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

SOME HAVE HAD MORE, SOME HAVE HAD LESS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY'S HAD MORE.

HONESTLY, MANY HAVE HAD LESS.

AND UNTIL THEY PUT A PLAN OUT AND SURPRISE THE COMMUNITY AND THEN THEY GOT PLENTY OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT MAYBE THAT THEY WERE NOT EXPECTING.

BUT ONE THING THAT I THINK IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS IS THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER AS THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE INSISTENCE UPON HAVING A COMMUNITY COMMITTEE LOOKING AT THIS AND THE INSISTENCE UPON WHAT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES WERE GOING TO BE FOR THE COMMUNITY RATHER THAN JUST GOING TO THE DEMOGRAPHER AND SAYING, GIVE US SOME IDEAS AND THEN PLOWING FORWARD WITH A PLAN RIGHT.

THERE ARE DEFINITELY DISTRICTS THAT WE'VE SEEN DO THIS THAT WERE LESS TRANSPARENT ABOUT HOW THEY DID IT.

AND YOU KNOW, THAT CREATES SOME SIGNIFICANT HEARTACHES.

AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER THING.

AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROCESS AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME MORE ABOUT THIS PROCESS IN THE COMING MEETINGS.

BUT WE AS THE TRUSTEES OR IS YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND, YOU KNOW, THE STEWARDS OF THIS COMMUNITY PROPERTY.

WE WELCOME OUTREACH, YOU KNOW, EMAIL US IF YOU HAVE FEEDBACK.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE A MEETING.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO EMAIL US.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO EMAIL PROBABLY JOHNNY, SORRY IF I'M VOLUNTEERING YOU FOR A BUNCH OF EMAILS, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR US TO TAKE FEEDBACK.

AND THERE'S PROBABLY A LINK ON THE WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN TAKE FEEDBACK OR SUBMIT FEEDBACK TO ON THE FACILITY WEBSITE.

SO I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THINGS IN A WAY THAT WE BELIEVE IS RIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE PUTTING THAT OUT THERE TRANSPARENTLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE ARE ALWAYS WELCOME FOR FEEDBACK FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

SO WE'VE HAD SIX COMMUNITY MEETINGS WE'VE SPREAD THEM OUT SO THAT WE'VE HAD REALLY SEVERAL MONTHS TO HAVE THEM AND COLLECT.

WE HAVE THERE IS A LINK FOR ANY QUESTIONS TO BE SUBMITTED.

AND AS THOSE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, WE HAVE WRITTEN RESPONSES.

AND SO THERE'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE FAQ.

AND I WOULD NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE EMAILS, BUT WE GET LOTS OF THEM AND WE THE MOST EFFICIENT WOULD BE TO SUBMIT THROUGH THE LINK BECAUSE WE HAVE DEDICATED STAFF THAT ARE, THAT ARE HANDLING ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS.

SO AND THE ACTUAL ANSWER TO THE QUESTION MAY ALREADY EXIST IN THE FAQ.

I'LL JUST SAY REAL QUICKLY IT'S SO PISD.EDU/FACILITYPLAN.

IT'S RIGHT THERE.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION THERE AS WELL.

I WILL SAY THAT A LOT OF TO DR.

WILLIAMS POINT WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS EARLY ON AND THEN IT'S KIND OF DWINDLED BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT, WE GET ASKED THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER.

AND SO THE NEW QUESTIONS THAT COME UP IS HAVE BEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAS KIND OF DWINDLED QUITE A BIT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I HAVE ONE QUICK POINT.

GO AHEAD. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT JUST TO NOTE AND REITERATE THAT NO SCHOOL IS CLOSING NEXT YEAR.

I HAVE HEARD THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT PEOPLE STILL THINK THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

AND SO I KNOW I'M PROBABLY PREACHING TO THE CHOIR FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING TO THE MEETING, BUT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET THAT OUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY, TOO, THAT THAT HAS TO COME FOR A FINAL VOTE.

I MEAN, THAT IS KIND OF WE'VE BEEN PLANNING FOR A LONG.

BUT SO THAT WAS MY SECOND POINT.

I JUST DIDN'T WRITE IT DOWN WAS THAT NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

I'VE ALSO HEARD FROM PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.

AND JUST LIKE LAUREN BEING AT THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, I GET TEXTS THAT ARE LIKE, DID YOU KNOW WE'RE MOVING TO FRESHMAN CENTERS? LIKE, WE'RE GOING TO GET A FRESHMAN CENTER AND JUST HAVE 10TH, 11TH AND 12TH.

AND I'M LIKE, I HAD NO IDEA.

[LAUGHTER] SO NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

WE CAN ALSO, WHEN THE COMMITTEE COMES AND REPORTS TO US AT UPCOMING MEETINGS, WE COULD ACCEPT THE PLAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY, TAKE PARTS OF IT OR NONE OF IT.

[02:45:06]

SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THOSE POINTS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

A MOTION MADE BY LAUREN TYRA.

AND A SECOND MADE BY TARA LANTZ THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES POLICY CT LOCAL FACILITIES PLANNING ON FIRST READING.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND I CAN COUNT LEARNED HOW TO COUNT.

THAT'S SEVEN, SO I DON'T HAVE TO ASK FOR THOSE OPPOSED.

AND NOW WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 12 THE CONCLUSION OF PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION FOR NON AGENDA ITEMS.

[12. CONCLUSION OF PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION - NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

DR. FREEMAN, CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE SPEAKER? THANK YOU. PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

THE SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS JENNIFER REAGAN, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT TOPIC LIBRARY MATERIAL PURCHASES.

MISS REAGAN, DO YOU WANT A ONE MINUTE WARNING OR DO YOU WANT TO JUST GO THROUGH? OKAY, I'LL JUST GO THROUGH. OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. I'M JENNIFER REAGAN, I'M A PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT.

AND THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TONIGHT SO LATE.

I'M JUST HERE TO SPEAK ON THE FACT THAT LIBRARIANS IN PISD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED FROM PURCHASING ANY BOOKS THIS YEAR.

WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN AWAITING GUIDELINES FROM THE STATE REGARDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RECENT LEGISLATION RELATING TO SCHOOL LIBRARY PROGRAMS, I AM ASSUMING THAT THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO HB 900.

BUT I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHAT GUIDELINES YOU'RE WAITING FOR.

TSLAC HAS ADOPTED NEW LIBRARY COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDES REFERENCES TO REQUIREMENTS FROM HB 900 ON JANUARY 3RD OF THIS YEAR.

I'M NOT MINIMIZING THE POSITION THAT OUR STATE LEGISLATURE HAS PUT YOU IN.

BUT BY PREVENTING ALL NEW PURCHASES, YOU ARE COMPLYING FAR BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT LEGISLATION.

NO OTHER DISTRICT IN THIS AREA HAS COMPLETELY PREVENTED NEW BOOK PURCHASES.

SO I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY PLANO ISD IS DOING THAT.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO END WITH THIS QUOTE FROM TIMOTHY SNYDER FROM ON TYRANNY.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

MOST OF THE POWER OF AUTHORITARIANISM IS FREELY GIVEN.

IN TIMES LIKE THESE INDIVIDUALS THINK AHEAD ABOUT WHAT A MORE REPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT WILL WANT AND THEN OFFER THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING ASKED.

A CITIZEN WHO ADAPTS IN THIS WAY IS TEACHING POWER WHAT IT CAN DO.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. AND WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM.

WHERE IS MY PAGE? 13. I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER.

AND IF THERE IS NO FURTHER BUSINESS NOR ANY OBJECTIONS FROM THE BOARD, THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED AND THE TIME IS 9:59 P.M.

ON TUESDAY, MAY 7TH, 2024.
