ESSER FREEMAN FOR SPEAKER AT THE PODIUM.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS CODY WEAVER.

I KNOW HE'S COMING.

IF YOU COULD WAIT ON HIM, I DON'T THINK HE'S THOUGHT Y'ALL WOULD START THIS SOON.

WE THOUGHT THERE'D BE PLEDGES AND STUFF, SO HE SHOULD BE HERE SHORTLY.

OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MEGAN VECCHIO.

PLANO ISD, PARENT.

TOPIC 6.3 APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2425 TAX RATE.

DID YOU WANT A ONE MINUTE WARNING? YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY. WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY? THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY SOMETHING? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU RESIDE IN THE DISTRICT.

MY NAME IS MEGAN BECCHIO.

I LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE, WHICH INCLUDES THE M&O TAX RATE, WHICH COVERED EXPENDITURES AS BOTH A PARENT AND A TAXPAYER.

I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW THIS DISTRICT WASTES MONEY.

NOTHING WE DO SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE.

THE DISTRICT BUILT A FANCY AND EXPENSIVE FINE ARTS PERFORMANCE HALL AND THEN TURNED AROUND A DECIMATED MUSIC PROGRAMS BY ALLOWING CHOICE OF FINE ARTS IN SIXTH GRADE. I AM NOT AGAINST ALLOWING CHOICE AND WAS ACTUALLY FOR THIS CHANGE, BUT I FAIL TO SEE HOW THIS DISTRICT NEEDS THIS EXPENSIVE BUILDING.

WHEN PROJECTED ENROLLMENT CONTINUES TO FALL AND FEWER KIDS NOW DECIDE TO PARTICIPATE IN MUSIC.

WHY WAS THE DECISION TO ALLOW FREE CHOICE OF FINE ARTS CLASSES NOT MADE BEFORE TAXPAYERS WERE OBLIGATED TO THE RIDICULOUS COST OF THIS QUESTIONABLE FACILITY? IT IS NOT JUST THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF IT, BUT ALSO THE OPERATING COSTS AS WELL.

THE COMMUNITY WAS TOLD IN JUNE THAT TEN SCHOOLS MET CRITERIA FOR CLOSURE.

[00:05:01]

PLANO WAS FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE IN THESE DECISIONS.

WHY IS IT THE SOLUTION TO RAISE TAXES INSTEAD OF ADDRESS SPENDING ISSUES? FOR EXAMPLE, ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL COSTS $3 MILLION A YEAR TO OPERATE AND IT ONLY SERVES 300 STUDENTS.

THAT'S HALF OF A TYPICAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

PLANO CANNOT AFFORD THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS.

THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL TO OPERATE FOR STUDENT BECAUSE IT SERVES SUCH A SMALL POPULATION.

WHY IS ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL NOT BEING CONSIDERED FOR CLOSURE? IT IS ALSO PARTICULARLY CONCERNING THAT THIS CAMPUS SEEMS TO BE FREQUENTLY INVOLVED IN ELECTIONEERING EFFORTS REGARDLESS.

PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS ARE TREATED POORLY.

OUR MONEY IS DISRESPECTED WHEN IT'S TREATED THIS WAY.

PARENTS INEXPLICABLY PASSED $1 BILLION BOND ONE PACKAGE AND THEY'RE GETTING SCHOOLED.

CLOSE SCHOOLS TAX INCREASES, THE POSSIBILITY OF NO MORE HONORS CLASSES AND WRAPAROUND BUILDINGS IN RETURN.

NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS OR WANTED IT.

IT'S DISGRACEFUL.

ALSO DISGRACEFUL IS THE HANDLING OF THE NEW SKYWAY SYSTEM.

WITH ALL THE ISSUES WITH THE NEW SYSTEM, IT'S BEEN ABYSMAL FOR MANY PARENTS AND FAMILIES.

HOW MUCH DID THAT COST US? PLANO SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING IS MORE MONEY AND MORE TAXES, INSTEAD OF PROPER STEWARDSHIP OF ITS RESOURCES.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM THREE.

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

[3. CLOSED SESSION]

THE TIME IS 6:07 P.M..

WE'RE RECONVENE OPEN SESSION AND THE TIME IS 9:14 P.M..

[4. RECONVENE OPEN SESSION]

[5. CONSENT AGENDA]

SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A MOTION.

I HEAR A SECOND.

TARRAH LANTZ IS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

THAT MEANS, LIKE, THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND I GUESS ONE THING I WANTED TO SAY ONCE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT IN OUR JUNE 2024 MEETING, WE HEARD A PRESENTATION REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF BUDGET AND TAX RATE FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

AND WE ALSO CONDUCTED A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2024 2025 BUDGET AND PROPOSED TAX RATE.

ALL THE DISTRICTS PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO MAKE COMMENTS ON LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WERE MET REGARDING THE ADVERTISING OF THE MEETING, AND THERE'S NO INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR, BUT AN ACTUAL DECREASE IN THE RATE BY LIKE THREE AND A HALF CENTS. THAT'S ALL.

RIGHT NOW, ITEM 6.1, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MCCARTHY BUILDING

[6. DISCUSSION AND ACTION]

VERSUS ORA ARCHITECTS INCORPORATED AND LA PARTNERS INCORPORATED.

CAUSE NUMBER 4930032-2022 IN THE 493RD DISTRICT COURT IN COLLIN COUNTY.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? OH, I KEPT YOU OUT.

I THINK IT'S GOOD. I THINK YOU I THINK YOU BASICALLY SAID IT.

THE ADMINISTRATION HAS WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.

NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO THE BOARD? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BY MCCARTHY BUILDING COMPANY.

DISPERSED AND APPROPRIATED FOR ARCHITECTURE FOR CREATING AND OPERATING COSTS AND PERFORMING 7 TO 2 IN THE 493RD DISTRICT COURT OF MONTANA.

FOR A SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY LAUREN TYRA, A SECOND BY CATHERINE THAT THE

[00:10:06]

CASE NUMBER 49300732203, IN THE THIRD DISTRICT COURT OF COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS.

IS THERE FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I WILL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND THERE'S NO OPPOSED.

SO, THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6.2.

DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ALL MATTERS INCIDENT AND RELATED TO PROVIDING FOR THE DEFEASANCE AND REDEMPTION OF CERTAIN.

OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OF THE DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDER PERTAINING THERETO.

SO, I AM GOING TO PASS THIS OVER TO YOU.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MEMBERS OF CABINET AND EVERYONE ELSE.

I WANTED TO I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE.

THIS IS VERY EXCITING FOR ME BECAUSE EACH YEAR WE ACTUALLY GET TO LOOK AT OUR DEBT AND WE GET TO BE VERY PROACTIVE IN HOW WE MANAGE OUR DEBT.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT OUR BOARD WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND VERY PROACTIVE.

BACK IN 2019, THEY PASSED A REGULATION.

A REGULATION IN THAT IT BASICALLY LINED OUT HOW WE WOULD.

EVERY YEAR WE WOULD LOOK AT OUR DEBT PORTFOLIO AND IF THERE WAS OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GO OUT AND EITHER REDEEM OUR DEFEASED DEBT.

BASICALLY TAKING DEBT OUT ON THE OUT YEARS AND MOVING IT INTO THE CURRENT YEAR AND PAY OFF DEBT EARLY AND SAVING TAXPAYERS INTEREST EXPENSE.

AND WE SHOULD DO THAT.

AND SO THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING IS US BASICALLY DOING THAT REVIEW AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BOARD ON WAYS THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY RESTRUCTURE THAT DEBT AND SAVE TAXPAYERS.

THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

SO FIRST OF ALL, WHEN WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND DID AND ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THIS, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO A DEFEASANCE.

A DEFEASANCE IS SIMPLY, YOU KNOW, HOW THE LAW WORKS IS YOU CAN ONLY PAY OFF THE DEBT FOR THAT, WHATEVER'S CALLABLE FOR THAT YEAR.

A DEFEASANCE IS THERE'S NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT AND REDEEM, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SELL BONDS, THERE'S IN MOST CASES THERE'S A TEN YEAR CALLABLE DATE.

AND SO IF THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S CALLABLE AT THAT TIME, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SET UP AN ESCROW ACCOUNT.

AND IT ACTUALLY SITS THERE UNTIL THAT THOSE BONDS ARE REDEEMABLE AND IT PAYS IT OUT.

IT ALLOWS YOU TO ACTUALLY IT'S ANOTHER WAY THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRING THAT INTO THE CURRENT YEAR AND PAY THAT OFF EARLY.

SO DEFEASANCE IS WHAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT.

WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR BOND FINANCIAL ADVISORS.

THE AMOUNT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO INCREASE CAPACITY TO THE FEES IN THIS NEXT THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE ON RIGHT NOW IS $13.91 MILLION.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY, ONE OF THE SERIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WHICH MAKES THE MOST SENSE MONEY WISE, IS THE 2616 BOND.

SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS IN OUR DISTRICT, WE DO NOT ISSUE DEBT OVER PER CA REGULATION.

WE DO NOT ISSUE DEBT OVER 20 YEARS LEGALLY.

WE COULD GO UP TO 40 YEARS, BUT CA REGULATION LIMITS US TO NO MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHEN WE DO THAT, WE GO OUT AS FAR AS WE POSSIBLY CAN BECAUSE YOU GET THE BIGGEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK WHEN YOU DO THAT.

AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE 34.

25. 35.

PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS OF THE 2016.

THIS IS JUST SIMPLY THE CALCULATION THAT GOES INTO THAT.

OBVIOUSLY, WHENEVER I'M TALKING ABOUT SETTING UP THAT ESCROW ACCOUNT, THIS IS WHAT GOES INTO THAT.

YOU'VE GOT THE ACTUAL PRINCIPAL, YOU'VE GOT THE OUTSTANDING INTEREST THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY ON THAT, AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR ESTIMATED CLOSING COST.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE OVERALL DEBT PAYMENT TO MATURITY WOULD BE.

THAT WOULD BE INCLUDING OVERALL INTEREST IN PRINCIPAL.

YOU TAKE THE DIFFERENCES.

AND AS A RESULT OF DOING THIS DEFEASANCE, YOU'RE REALLY GAINING TWO THINGS.

NUMBER ONE IS YOU'RE SAVING INTEREST EXPENSE FOR TAXPAYERS OF ABOUT $4.4 MILLION.

THAT'S GREAT. BUT NOT ONLY THAT, YOU'RE CREATING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

SO WHEN WE GO OUT AND CALL ANOTHER ELECTION IN THE FUTURE, WE'VE BUILT CAPACITY IN ORDER TO TAKE THAT ADDITIONAL DEBT ON WITHOUT GOING UP OR GOING UP, YOU KNOW, NOT AS MUCH. SO THOSE ARE THE TWO BENEFITS.

OBVIOUSLY, AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE I ADMINISTRATION WOULD RECOMMEND AUTHORIZING THE ORDER OF THE DEFEASANCE AND REDEMPTIONS OF CERTAIN CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS, AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO PARTIAL DEFEASANCE OF SERIES 2016 BONDS.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S WRITTEN BY A LAWYER, BUT BOTTOM LINE IS WE WOULD RECOMMEND PROCEEDING WITH THE DEFEASANCE OF THIS DEBT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PRESENTATION? ONE QUESTION.

[00:15:01]

BUT ESSENTIALLY WE'RE BASICALLY SORT OF PUTTING UP MONEY TODAY IN ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR TEN YEARS.

THAT GIVES US MORE CAPACITY TO GO LATER, BUT ULTIMATELY, AGAIN, JUST GIVEN WHERE WE ARE.

DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE POTENTIALLY FOR KEEP THAT MONEY ON? I WISH THE GOODNESS THAT WE CAN USE THAT CAPACITY ON OUR SIDE.

BUT IN SCHOOL FINANCE YOU'VE GOT TWO BUCKETS.

THIS IS THE DEBT SIDE OF THE BUCKET.

YOU'VE GOT THE MENTAL SIDE OF THE BUCKET AND NEVER WILL THE TWO CROSS OVER.

YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY CROSS OVER THOSE TWO FUNDS.

SO BOTTOM LINE, WE ARE IN A FEAST AND FAMINE IN PLANO.

ANYWAY, WE'RE IN A FEAST AND FAMINE SITUATION.

WE ARE DYING ON THE VINE, ON THE NO SIDE.

BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HOW MUCH WE CAN ACTUALLY RAISE THAT ALL OF OUR ADDITIONAL CAPACITY ON THE NO SIDE IS SHUFFLED OFF AND IT GOES BACK TO THE STATE IN THE FORM OF RECAPTURE. BUT ON THE ON THE FINANCE SIDE, THE DEBT SIDE, THERE IS NO EQUALIZATION ON THE DEBT SIDE.

SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAXIMIZE WE CAN BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL WAYS THAT WE CAN STILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

I MEAN, IN MY OPINION OF THAT DEBT SIDE, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT MOST A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE FORCED TOO THAT DO NOT HAVE THAT CAPACITY.

IN OTHER WORDS, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS LIKE EVEN NOW SURGICAL SOFTWARE CAN PAY FOR OUT OF THAT MONEY.

A LOT OF DISTRICTS AREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT.

TRANSPORTATION. WE PAY FOR OUT OF THAT MINDSET.

A LOT OF DISTRICTS CAN'T DO THAT.

YOUR TECHNOLOGY.

A LOT OF THAT WE CAN SPEND. SO THERE ARE WAYS THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE.

ONE OF THE WAYS WE MAXIMIZE IS BUILD UP AS MUCH CAPACITY AS WE CAN ON THAT SIDE.

BUT TRULY, I WISH TO GOODNESS WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING A $35 MILLION DEFICIT IF I COULD USE PART OF THE CAPACITY THAT'S UNEQUAL ON OUR SIDE.

WE JUST CANNOT DO THAT.

SO THE SECOND QUESTION ULTIMATELY, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE TOTAL TAX RATE? ARE WE ABLE TO, BECAUSE WE'RE DIFFUSING ULTIMATELY PROVIDE A BETTER TAX RATE? SURE. SO YEAH, ULTIMATELY, DEFINITELY.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING IT. BECAUSE THE HONEST TAX RATE IS MADE UP OF MORE THAN JUST PRINCIPLE.

IT'S MADE UP OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, JUST LIKE I MEAN, I SAY THIS BOOK, YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE, BUT I GO OUT AND I BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL HOUSE AND I ISSUE A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE ON IT.

OH, WOW. IF I COULD GO OUT AND BUY THAT SAME HOUSE, BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.

BUT FOR 15 YEARS I'M SAVING LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY KEEPING IT ON THE SHORTER END OF THE SPECTRUM.

WE DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING HERE.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I MEAN, DEFINITELY WE BUY ACTUALLY PAYING OFF DEBT ON THE SHORTER END OF THE SPECTRUM 20 YEARS OR LESS.

AND THEN EVEN ON TOP OF THAT, WE PAY IT OFF EVEN QUICKER THAN THAT.

WE ARE LITERALLY SAVING MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS JUST THIS YEAR ALONE, YOU KNOW, $4.4 MILLION.

SO YES, IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT.

JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT Y'ALL DID, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, FRANK IS ACTUALLY DOWN.

SO WE'RE NOT DOING THIS ONE OPTION, DOING A DECISION AND THEN MODELING OUT WHAT YOU WANT, LIKE MODELING OUT THOSE FEATURES FOR ME IS SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL DID A LOT OF IN YOUR FARM.

AND SO IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR IMPACT UPON THAT WOULD BE.

FOR ONE PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, FOR THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM TO [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM.

AND THEN JUST HAVING THAT DATA TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS WITH, IN TERMS OF WHAT I WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE.

SO AND WE DO LOOK AT THAT.

I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD POINT. SO WE DO LOOK AT THAT, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR I THINK.

AND I CAN BRING THAT BACK BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN CALCULATED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS.

BUT WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THAT MULTIPLE TIMES.

WE HAVE A CAPACITY AT THIS POINT.

IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER MODEL, SAY, 2029 OF RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ABOUT $1.4 BILLION WITHOUT GOING UP ON OUR TAX RATE.

EVERY TIME WE DO ONE OF THESE, WE ADD TO THAT.

I'M NOT SAYING WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GO OUT FOR A BOND THAT BIG.

BUT WHAT THAT WOULD DO IS IF, SAY, WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE HAVE $2 BILLION OF CAPACITY AND WE HAVE, SAY, 1.5 OF IDENTIFIED NEEDS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO GO DOWN THE TAX RATE AT THAT TIME. THAT'S HOW WE'VE DONE THAT.

WE WENT DOWN $0.03 THE LAST TIME WE DID THAT, AND WE ISSUED $1.35 BILLION.

AND SO THAT'S HOW WE WOULD CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS WELL.

WITH THAT 1.4, 1.5 INCLUDE THE BONDS THAT WERE AUTHORIZED OR THAT IF SOME OF THAT GOING TO GET EATEN UP BY WASTE AND AUTHORIZED.

AND SO WHEN WE ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE CAPACITY, WE TAKE THAT ALREADY INTO ACCOUNT THAT WE WILL ISSUE THAT BECAUSE WE ALREADY LADDER OUT.

[00:20:04]

WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN THAT INTO CONSIDERATION ON THE OVERALL CAPACITY THAT WE'D BE LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL NEXT MONTH.

GOOD QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT DISCUSSION.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THE BOARD, TRUSTEES ADOPT THE ORDER AUTHORIZING POTENTIALLY CERTAIN OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS. INCIDENT AND RELATE PARTIAL SERIES.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY MIND.

THEY'RE DIFFERENT. I HAVE A MOTION BY JERI CHAMBERS AND A SECOND BY TARRAH LANTZ.

HE'S ADOPT THE ORDER AUTHORIZING THE DEFEASANCE AND REDEMPTION OF CERTAIN CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OF THE DISTRICT AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS.

INCIDENT AND RELATED TO THE PARTIAL CONCLUSION OF THE SERIES 2016 BONDS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

I'M FOUR, SIX AND A HALF.

THAT'S WHAT MY PROBLEM IS.

IF WE'RE MISSING TRUSTEE AND I KEEP COUNTING.

SO WE DO HAVE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

ADOPTING THE 2024-2025 TAX RATE.

AND AGAIN, I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO MR. YOU KNOW,. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND EVERYONE ELSE.

I DO WANT TO START OFF THIS SEGMENT.

I DO WANT TO START OFF THIS IN HERE IN A SECOND.

I'M GOING TO KICK IT OVER TO THE BIRTHDAY GIRL, COURTNEY REEVES.

BUT I DO WANT TO START THIS OFF, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S A COMMENT MADE LAST MONTH THAT THAT NOW THAT THE NEW [INAUDIBLE] AND ALL OF THAT IS NOW SUPERSEDED SCHOOL FINANCES.

AS FAR AS COMPLEXITY, I WOULD PROBABLY AGREE THAT AFTER TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THAT STUFF, IT JUST IT HURTS MY HEAD.

BUT I WILL SAY THERE'S SOMETHING THAT RIVALS THAT.

AND THAT IS THE PROPERTY TAX CODE FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

I WENT BACK, WE SAT AROUND TRYING TO I WAS TRYING TO WE ACTUALLY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS EVERY YEAR.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TO BRING IT BACK UP.

AND SO IT ACTUALLY STARTED BACK WITH SENATE BILL TWO ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE 86TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

WE KNOW THAT THAT CAME ABOUT.

AND SO EVERY YEAR SINCE IT STARTING EFFECTIVE JANUARY OF 2020, WE'VE GOT THIS REAL, REALLY WEIRD LANGUAGE.

TO ME WHENEVER, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TAX RATE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL TAX RATE, THE ACTUAL TAX RATE GOING UP, HIS ACTUAL TAX RATE GOING DOWN.

I MEAN THAT'S PRETTY SIMPLE, RIGHT? THAT'S PRETTY BLACK AND WHITE.

BUT NOW THERE'S MULTIPLE AS A RESULT OF SENATE BILL TWO, THERE'S MULTIPLE TAX RATES THAT YOU NOW HAVE TO CALCULATE.

AND EACH ONE OF THE IMPLICATIONS HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR LANGUAGE.

AND SO I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

WE WENT WE WENT BACK.

AND I ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE CLIP I'D LOVE TO PLAY FOR EVERYBODY.

IT'S ABOUT SIX MINUTES LONG.

IT'S PRETTY SHORT.

BUT THIS IS US EXPLAINING THIS TWO YEARS AGO.

LAST YEAR, JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, THIS UNUSUAL LANGUAGE OF SENATE BILL TWO WASN'T IT WASN'T APPLICABLE THE MAIN REASON WHY THE STATE STEPPED IN AT THE 11TH HOUR.

THEY BROUGHT DOWN THE TAX RATE.

HUGE COMPRESSION. YOU REMEMBER THE EXEMPTIONS.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS WENT FROM 40,000 TO 100,000.

AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO ADDITIONAL STATE COMPRESSION EVEN ON TOP OF THAT.

SO I THINK THAT THE STATE IN TOTAL SPENT LIKE $18 BILLION OUT OF THE DEBT.

AS A RESULT, NO ONE HAD TO DO THIS LANGUAGE LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE STATE.

WE'RE NOW BACK TO WHERE WE WERE THE PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS PRIOR TO THAT.

AND SO LET ME, IF YOU DON'T MIND, LET ME JUST SHOW THIS CLIP.

I THINK IT DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF GOING THROUGH AND EXPLAINING THIS, THIS SENATE BILL TWO.

A LOT HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH THE EFFECTS OF SENATE BILL TWO.

OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS PART OF THE 86 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THIS IS MY THIRD TIME TALKING ABOUT SENATE BILL TWO.

AND IT'S A POINT OF DISCUSSION BECAUSE SENATE BILL TWO ACTUALLY CAME ABOUT AS A TRANSPARENCY AND SIMPLIFICATION BILL.

AND SO BUT IT'S EXTREMELY CONFUSING FOR OUR FOR OUR REALLY OUR COMMUNITY.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL CALCULATIONS THAT MUST BE MADE AS A RESULT OF SENATE BILL TWO.

THE FIRST CALCULATION IS WHAT'S CALLED THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

[00:25:03]

THIS IS SIMPLY WHAT WE USED TO KNOW AS BEING KNOWN AS THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, WHICH IS EVERYTHING ELSE BEING EQUAL.

WHAT ARE THE TAX RATE YOU NEED TO PAY IN ORDER TO COLLECT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAX AS WHAT I HAVE HERE? THAT'S WHAT WE ALL KNOW.

THAT'S THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE. IT'S NOW CALLED NO REVENUE TAX RATE.

THAT CALCULATION NOW MUST BE DONE.

OKAY. IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT AFFECTS A LOT OF OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

THE SECOND RATE THAT NEEDS TO BE CALCULATED IS WHAT'S CALLED THE VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE.

THAT IS SIMPLY WHAT THE MAXIMUM PRESS RATE IS, THE MAXIMUM PRESS RATE PLUS THE PRIOR YEAR TIER TWO TENANTS PLUS THE IMS REQUIREMENT.

OKAY. THAT IS THE MAX.

YOU CAN GO UP ON A TAX RATE WITHOUT TRIGGERING A VAT OR LOWER APPROVAL THRESHOLDS.

THAT RIGHT NEEDS TO BE CALCULATED AS WELL.

ONCE YOU CALCULATE THOSE TWO RATES THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE A PROPOSED TAX RATE.

YOU CAN SAY JUST WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A WHILE AGO.

PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR 2223 IS 6.1 CENTS LESS THAN WE HAD LAST PREVIOUS YEAR, ITS ACTUAL TEXT.

ONE THING I WILL POINT OUT IS THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

YOU SEE THAT? THAT'S A DOLLAR OF 1919.

THAT'S LESS THAN WHAT OUR PROPOSED TAX RATE IS FOR 2223.

BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT IT DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY KIND OF STATE OFFSETS.

LET'S SAY I MEAN STATE OFFSETS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT MAYBE RECAPTURE FOR ARTISTS.

OKAY. SO IT'S BASICALLY IF YOU HAD NO RECAPTURE, THIS IS WHAT THE TAX RATE WOULD BE IN ORDER TO LEVY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S REQUIRED TO DO THAT.

IF YOU PROPOSE A RATE OVER THAT AMOUNT, THEN YOU'VE GOT TO ACTUALLY HAVE ADDITIONAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IS THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A CERTAIN MOTION WHEN YOU ACTUALLY APPROVE THE ADOPTED TAX RATE FOR THE PROPOSED TAX RATE, WHICH IF YOU'LL REMEMBER $1.25 975 IS MORE THAN THAT.

NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

THEN YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY, IN YOUR MOTION, SAY I MOVED THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE IN 1975, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 5.69% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

THAT'S SIMPLY TALKING ABOUT THE ADOPTED RATE AS COMPARED WITH THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT MOTION IS ACTUALLY SAYING.

THE 5.69% IS SIMPLY THE DIFFERENCE.

THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DOLLAR 25 1975 AND THE $1 1990.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

THEY'RE NOT SAYING THAT THE ACTUAL TAX RATE IS GOING UP.

THEY'RE SAYING THAT ADOPTED TAX RATE OVER THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE'S COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

OTHERWISE, WHEN YOU WERE SAYING THE REVENUE TAX RATE, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPLY.

AND SO WE'RE ASKING THAT THE FOOD BE PREPARED TO SOME.

EXTENT. IN OTHER WORDS, SENATE BILL TWO DISTRICTS WITH RECAPTURE, WHICH IS VERY, VERY CONFUSING.

AND IT'S NOT REALLY. MISLEADING ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN, THIS IS THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN THIS, BUT THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE IS TO GENERATE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY AS LAST YEAR WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT INFLATION.

AND SO INFLATION HAS GONE UP 8.5%.

SO YOUR COST SIDE HAS GONE UP 8.5%.

BUT WHAT THE STATE IS SAYING IS OH NO, NO, YOU HAVE TO TELL US THAT VOTERS THAT YOU'RE, YOU WANT A TAX RATE THAT GENERATES THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY AS LAST YEAR WITH LESS BUYING POWER. AND IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE, MORE REVENUE, THEN YOU HAVE TO GO AND READ THIS, THIS LANGUAGE.

SO NOTHING. NOTHING WITH INFLATION.

NOTHING. SO TO BUILD ON THIS POINT, LET'S SAY WE DID AS A DISTRICT ADOPT A NO, NO.

NO NEW SORRY, NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATES.

SO THAT'S A NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

IF WE ADOPTED THAT KIND OF TAX RATE, WOULD WE PAY LESS IN RECAPTURE? WOULD WE ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO KEEP THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FUND TO, TO RUN THE DISTRICT OR.

THAT'S A GREAT THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE, IF YOU REMEMBER ON THE TIER TWO PAINTINGS, WE HAVE, WE HAVE THOSE COPPER BINS.

SO WE WOULD PAY LESS THAN RECAPTURE.

BUT WE'D ALSO TAKE A PENALTY IN NET AMOUNTS THAT WE GET TO KEEP IN OUR IN OUR TIER TWO PAYMENTS, WHICH IS ABOUT FOR EVERY PENNY IT GOES DOWN AND WE LOSE ABOUT A

[00:30:06]

SO RECAPTURE WOULD GO DOWN, BUT RECAPTURE WHAT WE ACTUALLY GET TO KEEP THEM SAFE.

THE NET AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE PENALIZED TO THE DISTRICT IS ABOUT $3 MILLION PER PENNY.

YOU SAW THAT THERE WAS $1.

2519 75 MILLION AND THE ONE 1919, THERE'S ABOUT 6/10 THERE.

SO $0.06 TIMES $3 MILLION WE WOULD TAKE WITH A PENALTY OF ABOUT $18 MILLION.

THE ONE THING I CAN ONE THING THAT I CAN FOR SURE SAY AFTER WATCHING THAT IS THAT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AFTER I SAID THAT NO ONE, NO ONE REMEMBERED IT, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU IT'S VERY, VERY CONFUSING.

BOTTOM LINE IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS JUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR IN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, FOR SURE, OVER IN 30 YEARS OF OF ME DOING THIS, I'VE ONLY GONE DOWN IN VALUE ONE YEAR AND 30 YEARS.

EVERY YEAR, VALUES GO UP IF, YOU KNOW, EVEN, EVEN AFTER DEPRESSION STARTED, WE COULD GO UP THE 2.5% BEFORE WE EVEN GO INTO DEPRESSION.

I SAY THAT TO SAY JUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR, THE WAY THAT THE STATE ACTUALLY CALCULATES, CALCULATES NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH GOING TO HAVE LANGUAGE IN OUR MOTION.

OUR MOTION LANGUAGE, JUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR THAT SAYS THAT WE'RE GOING UP, UP, UP, GOING UP ON OUR TAX RATE.

ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I REITERATE WHEN WE SAY WE'RE GOING UP ON OUR RATE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR ADOPTED RATE COMPARED WITH OUR NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, NOT OUR ACTUAL RATE TO ACTUAL RATE.

SO TO ME, THIS LAW WAS PASSED PREDOMINANTLY FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND FOR COUNTIES.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE STILL ACTUALLY UNDER THIS, BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY, IT ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAUSE WE ARE OFFSET.

IT'D BE NICE. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE IF WE IF WE ACTUALLY WERE ABLE TO KEEP THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE, BUT OUR ADDITIONAL REVENUE IS BASICALLY TAKEN OFF WITH RECAPTURED AND SENT BACK TO THE STATE. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS STILL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION AND CLEAR.

YEAH, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS STILL CLEAR BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING.

WE EVEN HAD SOMEBODY COME TONIGHT AND SAY, WHY ARE YOU GOING UP ON TAX RATES? I CAN TELL YOU THAT ACTUAL TAX RATES IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS NOT GONE UP SINCE 2013, SINCE 2013.

IN FACT, HERE IN A SECOND COURTNEY WILL GO OVER THIS.

BUT IF YOU IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO LOOK AT OUR TAX RATES SINCE 2019 WITH WITH HOUSE BILL THREE, THE LAST TIME WE HAD MEANINGFUL TRUE SCHOOL FINANCE LEGISLATION, WE'VE GOT ACTUALLY DOWN ON OUR ON OUR ACTUAL TAX RATE BY ALMOST JUST A HAIR UNDER $0.40.

THAT'S AMAZING.

THAT IS AMAZING.

SO ANYWAY, THIS IS JUST A HISTORY OF TRUTH AND TAXATION.

OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THIS STARTED SENATE BILL TWO AND HOUSE BILL THREE OUT OF THE 86TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

SO THE RIGHT THAT IS SO PREVALENT AND WHY IT CAUSES SO MUCH HEADACHE FOR EVERYBODY IS THIS NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE? OKAY. PREVIOUSLY CALLED EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

BASICALLY IT'S LOOKING AT HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL YOU KNOW WHAT TAX RATE WOULD IT COST.

WOULD IT TAKE IN ORDER TO BASICALLY GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE AS WHAT YOU HAD THE PREVIOUS YEAR? OKAY. SO ANYWAY, THAT IS YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH AND SEE THAT FOR US IS WE, WE HAVE MAXED BASICALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR TAX RATE, WE HAVE MAXED OUT WHAT WE CAN DO EACH YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO DOWN BECAUSE OF THE LAWS OF THE LAWS OF COMPRESSION, WHICH SIMPLY SAYS, ANYTIME YOUR VALUES, YOUR LOCAL VALUES GO OVER 2.5%, WE WILL BE COMPRESSING OUR RATES.

AND THAT IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN HERE TONIGHT.

QUESTIONS? SURE.

SO. THE LANGUAGE IS COMPLICATED.

WE TALK ABOUT THAT THE FAST GROWTH DISTRICTS OF THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE GROWING LIKE THOUSANDS OF KIDS A YEAR.

AND SO THEY HAVE LIKE VERY, VERY LEGITIMATE NEEDS TO INCREASE THEIR INCOME.

THEY STILL HAVE TO READ THIS LANGUAGE.

THEY DO. WOW.

YEAH. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

LIKE IF THE DISTRICT IS GROWING, IT'S NOT LIKE A STUDENT TO STUDENT, YOU KNOW, THE.

NO. THE NO NEW.

JUST SO I'M CLEAR, THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE IS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT KIDS.

IT JUST TAKES AN ACCOUNT VALUE.

SO IF YOU'RE IN A DISTRICT THAT'S ACTUALLY ADDING HOMES EACH YEAR AND THEY'RE GROWING, THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN THIS SITUATION, I CAN SAY JUST ABOUT EVERY DISTRICT THAT ACTUALLY HAS VALUE GROWTH GOING INTO THEIR DISTRICT.

THERE ARE DISTRICTS THAT THAT ARE THAT ARE VERY STAGNANT, SMALL DISTRICTS OUT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE, OBVIOUSLY RURAL AREAS, THEY MIGHT NOT BE GROWING, BUT JUST ABOUT IN

[00:35:03]

I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN IN A VERY I MEAN, I CAN ASK THE REAL ESTATE, THE REAL ESTATE GUY OVER THERE IN TEXAS, IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY GOOD.

AND JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, VALUES HAVE BEEN GROWING.

AND AS A RESULT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO READ THIS LANGUAGE.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO STOP THERE.

BECAUSE REALLY THE MAIN ATTRACTION IS ABOUT TO START.

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO CONNIE.

OH, YES, MA'AM. AND THIS IS ALSO THE SAME SORT OF LANGUAGE THAT'S USED IN THE BONDS.

YEAH. THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE YOUR TAX RATE, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS TRUE.

SO PART OF PART OF THE SAME LEGISLATION.

IT'S ALL PART OF THE IT ALL CAME OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY WAS SET UP TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT MORE TRANSPARENT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY. I THINK THAT THE INTENTIONS WERE GOOD, BUT IT'S NOT TIME.

OR SOMETHING. WELL, I THINK IT'S JUST AN INTENT TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT AND LOOK AT THE DATA AND THE FACT THAT.

AGAIN. SO I'M REALLY THINKING.

ALL. RIGHT.

MY TURN. OKAY, WELL, AS YOU ALL, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR BUDGET AND TAX RATE CALENDAR, AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH OUR BUDGET CALENDARS.

OF COURSE, WE START OUR BUDGET PROCESS ALL THE WAY BACK IN NOVEMBER, AND WE WORK OUR WAY TO THE END FOR THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE BEING OUR TO ADOPT OUR TAX RATE.

JUST KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH REALLY QUICKLY.

WE ACTUALLY POSTED OUR NOTICE FOR OUR BUDGET AND PROPOSED TAX RATE BACK ON JUNE 9TH, WHICH WAS IN THAT WINDOW OF MAY 26TH THROUGH JUNE 13TH.

WE HELD OUR PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS THE TAX RATE AND BUDGET, AND THE BOARD ADOPTED OUR 2425 BUDGET ON JUNE 25TH, AND THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY RECEIVED OUR CERTIFIED VALUES AT THE END OF JULY.

AND OF COURSE, OUR FINAL PUZZLE PIECE IS ADOPTING OUR TAX RATE THIS EVENING.

WHICH WE'VE REALLY KIND OF ALREADY TALKED ABOUT WE DID RECEIVE OUR CERTIFIED BODIES AT THE END OF JULY.

OF COURSE, AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR PRICE VALUES YOU WANT TO COMPARE THAT YEAR OVER YEAR.

ULTIMATELY, OUR TAXABLE VALUES DID INCREASE JUST OVER 8.21%.

THAT GROWTH BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THAT TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE, THAT 72.218 MILLION INCREASED JUST OVER 5.9 MILLION TO $78.148 MILLION.

AND OF COURSE, AS YOU SEE ABOVE THAT, OUR INCREASED VOLUME ALSO, OF COURSE, INCREASED THAT 93.489 MILLION TO JUST ABOUT 5.8 MILLION TO 9.268 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, JUST TO REMIND YOU, IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE DID OUR NOTICE, WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN MAY.

WE HAD OUR CERTIFIED ESTIMATE.

AND THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSERVATIVE.

THAT ACTUALLY WAS PROJECTED ABOUT 2.66.

SO AGAIN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCREASE FOR OUR ACTUAL CERTIFIED VALUES.

SO OF COURSE, JOHNNY WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL OF OUR RATE COMPARISONS AND ALL OF THE RATES THAT WE HAVE TO REQUIRE TO PROVIDE BECAUSE WE, YOU KNOW, COMPARE IT TO OUR 2324 ADOPTED TAX RATE.

OF COURSE, WE TALKED ABOUT OUR LOWER TAX RATE.

AND OF COURSE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE IS THE MAXIMUM TAX RATE THAT THE BOARD MAY ADOPT WITHOUT REQUIRING A VOTER APPROVAL.

AND THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX COLLECTION MAIER.

OF COURSE, WE HAVE GREAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 22.

AND AS JOHNNY SAID, WE MADE OUR BUCKET, OUR BUDGET BUCKET AS BIG AS WE COULD.

SO OUR VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE IS THE SAME AS OUR 2425 PROPOSED TAX RATE.

BUT AS JOHNNY POINTED OUT EARLIER, AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR TAX RATE ACTUALLY DOES DECREASE JUST OVER THREE AND A HALF CENTS.

SO OUR OUR TAX RATE FOR 2425 WILL BE 0.805.0, AGAIN A DECREASE FROM 2324 OF 84.050.

YOU'RE NOT. DECREASE IS 0.03540.

OUR IONS ARE IONS.

ACTUALLY STAYED THE SAME FROM OUR 2324 TAX RATE.

AND THEN OF COURSE OUR TOTAL FOR OUR 2425 TAX RATE IS $1 0.04245, A DECREASE OF IN THE 03540 FROM OUR ADOPTED TAX RATE IN 2324 OF $1 07785.

JOHNNY JUST STOLE MY THUNDER A LITTLE BIT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT HOW WAS THE TAX RATE HAS ACTUALLY DECREASED OVER ABOUT THE LAST 11 YEARS.

AS WE STATED SINCE 2015, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A 28% DECREASE, WHICH IS JUST OVER 40, $0.40, 40.5 CENTS. AND THEN MOST OF THAT, OF COURSE, AS HE STATED, HAS BEEN DUE TO HOUSE BILL THREE OF 2019 AND THE EFFECTS OF TAX RATE COMPRESSION.

LET ME SAY THAT IT'S JUST UNDER THAT $0.40.

AND YOU REPEAT THAT.

YES, MA'AM. SO SINCE 2019, WHICH IS WHEN HOUSE BILL THREE, THE GAS TAX COMPRESSION, IT WAS JUST UNDER $0.40

[00:40:08]

BUT THE LONGER IT'S HAPPENED SINCE 2020, 2019, 2020.

I THINK THAT WE CAN'T GO VERY FAR WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS AFFECTS OUR AVERAGE RESIDENTS.

OF COURSE WE TALKED ABOUT, OF COURSE, OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE INCREASING.

SO I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR OF WHERE WE ENDED UP.

OUR AVERAGE MARKET VALUE FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN PLANO ISD WAS JUST OVER 580,000.

IT'S ACTUALLY INCREASED.

THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE FOR A RESIDENT IN ISD IS JUST OVER $601,000 FOR A HOUSE HERE IN PLANO.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM TAX YEAR 23 TO TAX YEAR FOR 24 BECAUSE AGAIN, PROPERTY VALUES ARE INCREASING.

THE AVERAGE RESIDENTS WILL SEE AN AVERAGE INCREASE OF $370.

44. CENTS.

NO, THAT'S JUST PART OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH OUR PROPERTY VALUES IS WE JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH REAL ESTATE.

AND SO OF COURSE, AGAIN OUR TAX RATE IS DECREASING.

SO THAT INCREASE IS NOT DUE TO THE TAX RATE.

SO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW THIS AFFECTS US.

AND RECAPTURE OF COURSE THE BREAKOUT OF OUR TAX RATE.

BASICALLY HOW MUCH DO WE GET TO KEEP VERSUS WHAT GOES BACK TO THE STATE IN THE FORM OF RECAPTURE? JUST LOOKING AT THOSE PERCENTAGES, OF COURSE, YOU SEE WHAT WE PROJECTED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, ABOUT 30% OF OUR TAX COLLECTIONS WILL GO BACK TO THE STATE.

AND UPON RECAPTURE AND PROJECTED FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR 25 WILL GO UP JUST SLIGHTLY TO 34%.

THAT WILL GO BACK TO THE STATES AND RECAPTURE JUST KIND OF FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND FISCAL YEAR 23.

THAT PERCENTAGE WAS JUST OVER 37%.

OF COURSE, BACK DOWN TO 30 AND BACK UP TO 34%.

AND THEN HOW MUCH OF THAT 80.80 $0.05 DO WE ACTUALLY GET TO KEEP AGAIN? HOW MUCH DO WE KEEP IT AND HOW MUCH GOES BACK INTO THE NORMAL RECAPTURE OF COURSE, COMPARED TO 2024.

YOU CAN SEE THAT INCREASE A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE SENDING BACK THE $0.27 AS OPPOSED TO THE 2553.

AND OF COURSE, THE DECREASE IN HOW MUCH WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP OF THAT 80.5 CENTS.

AND SO HERE'S THE INFAMOUS SLIDE THAT JOHNNY WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, AND HOW THESE RATES LOOK AT LOOK LIKE IN 24 AND 25.

SO AGAIN, JOHNNY TALKED ABOUT OUR NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH IS THE RATE OF THE DISTRICT WOULD NEED TO ADOPT TO GENERATE ONLY THE LOCAL GLOBAL REVENUE IT HAS IN THE PRIOR YEAR. THIS RATE DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR STATE AID OR RECAPTURE OR CHANGES THAT ACCOMPANY THE INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES, NOR DOES IT ACCOUNT FOR CHANGES IN STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND INCLUDES GROWTH IN THE HIGHEST PROPERTY TAX RATE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE FOR 2425 IS $1 017893.

AND THEN OF COURSE, OUR VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE AND OUR PROPOSED TAX RATE ARE THE $1 04245.

AND AGAIN THAT'S THE MAXIMUM RATE OF WORK FOR OUR VOTER APPROVED TAX RATE IS THE MAXIMUM RATE FOR CANDIDATE WITHOUT SEEKING YOUR APPROVAL FOR BAKER.

SO AGAIN JUST STARTING AT THE BOTTOM, OUR 2425 TOTAL TAX RATE FOR THE 04245, MADE UP OF AN IMMINENT TAX RATE OF 0.8 TO 0510, -8.23735 IS THE OVERALL ACTUAL DECREASE FROM 23 TO 324 FOR THE DOLLAR.

07785A TOTAL TAX RATE ARE NOW AT 0.84050 AND MINUS 0.23735, AGAIN AFTER TAX.

THE TAX RATE DECREASED BY JUST OVER 3.5 CENTS.

SO JUST AS JOHN SAID EARLIER, OF COURSE WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S REQUIRED LANGUAGE, BECAUSE THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED TAX RATE OF A DOLLAR 04245 DOES EXCEED THE NON REVENUE TAX RATE OF $1 017893.

OF COURSE, THE MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION MUST BE MADE IN THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT A 2.41% INCREASE, BECAUSE OF COURSE THAT NUMBER OVER 2.5 IS A 2.41% INCREASE OVER THAT DOLLAR 017893. AND AGAIN, THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE DOES NOT CONSIDER OUR STATE'S OFFSET TO BE CAPTURED.

THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND OVERALL, THE ACTUAL TAX RATE ACTUALLY DOES DECREASE.

PART OF THE REQUIRED LANGUAGE THAT WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IS ALSO INCLUDED IN OUR RESOLUTION.

AND IT IS INCLUDED HERE.

AND THEN LASTLY IS JUST THE ACTUAL CALCULATIONS OF ALL THESE WONDERFUL RATES THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IN OUR PRESENTATION.

[00:45:09]

YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THAT'S A LOT TO DIGEST.

SO ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER BEFORE I ASK FOR A MOTION? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

ON PAGE TEN.

CAN WE JUST BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT WHY WE ARE SEEING SORT OF THAT BLUE COLUMN STAY THE SAME AND GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND RECAPTURE GOING UP. SO WHY IS OUR OVERALL TOTAL REVENUE GOING DOWN WHEN IN THEORY THE ALLOTMENT PER CHILD IS BASICALLY THE SAME? I'M ASSUMING WE HAVE LESS CHILDREN, BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE REASON FOR THAT ONE.

YES. SORRY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. SO THE REASON WHY YOU SEE THAT ACTUALLY GOING DOWN IS BECAUSE IT'S THE STUDENTS GOING DOWN.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THAT'S SO THERE ARE CERTAIN THERE ARE CERTAIN YEARS THAT YOU SEE IT ACTUALLY GOING UP SLIGHTLY.

AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE CHANGE IS ACTUALLY IN THE LAW.

SO HOUSE BILL THREE FOR INSTANCE, YOU SEE 2020, YOU SEE IT'S GOING UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTS GOING DOWN.

WE'RE LOSING KIDS.

AND SO BASICALLY, THE ONLY THING YOU'RE SHOWING THAT'S GOING DOWN IN THE BLUE SECTION IS LOSING KIDS.

THERE'S NO LEGISLATIVE EXTERNAL LEGISLATION THAT'S GOING IN THAT'S HELPING THE TAX RATE.

YOU GET ALL THE WAY INTO 22-23.

IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THAT YEAR, WE DID A VATRE ELECTION.

SO ALL SUDDEN YOU SEE IT POP BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE TIER TWO PENNIES AND THEN BLOWING THE HOPE.

YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THEN.

IT'S GONE BACK DOWN. NO, THERE'S NO EXTERNAL OTHER THAN US LOSING STUDENTS.

AND SO THAT'S THE EFFECT OF JUST LOSING STUDENTS, RIGHT.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE KIDS ARE WE'RE NOT LOSING HOUSES.

WE'RE JUST ULTIMATELY WE'LL END UP PAYING MORE AND MORE TO RECAPTURE THAT TO SOME DEGREE.

YEAH, THAT'S THE NET EFFECT.

AND JOHNNY, YOU WANTED TO DISCUSS WHY STUDENT ENROLLMENT IS DECREASING.

I MEAN, CORPORATE TAXES.

SURE. SO A LOT OF REASONS.

I MEAN, WHEN WE WERE DOING THE LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANNING, WE WENT WE DID A DEEP DIVE INTO IT AND HOPEFULLY WE EXPLAINED THAT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SOME OF THE REASONS, BUT OBVIOUSLY COURTNEY MENTIONED THE LONG-AGO AVERAGE HOUSE IN PLANO ISD, $600,000.

I'VE GOT TWO YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE DEGREE THAT HAVE GOOD JOBS.

THEY NEITHER ONE OF THEM CAN AFFORD A $600,000 HOUSE.

SO BOTTOM LINE IS MOST OF OUR A LOT OF OUR YOUNG FAMILIES THAT ARE STARTING FAMILIES THEMSELVES ARE HAVING TO GO UP AND BASICALLY LOOK FOR HOUSES THAT ARE MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LESS EXPENSIVE.

AND SO THAT'S ONE REASON ALSO, WE ARE PRETTY MUCH BUILT OUT.

AND WITH THE MORTGAGE RATES LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR, OUR, WE CALL EMPTY NESTERS THAT ARE REALLY I MEAN THEY'RE THEY'VE GOT A GREAT DEAL ON THEIR HOUSE.

THEY STILL HAVE AN INCREDIBLY LOW MORTGAGE.

THEY HAVE ZERO DESIRE TO SELL THEIR HOUSE, BUY A LESSER, NOT A LESS EXPENSIVE HOUSE, BUT ANOTHER HOUSE.

WHENEVER THEIR MORTGAGE RATES ON THEIR NEW HOUSE WOULD, YOU KNOW, GO UP.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON.

BIRTHRIGHTS ARE ANOTHER REASON.

AND THEN WE ARE WE ARE DEFINITELY IN COMPETITION WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS.

I MEAN, THERE IS A STATE PUSH FOR, FOR OTHER, YOU KNOW, OTHER CHOICES OUT THERE.

AND SO WE ARE STILL DEFINITELY IN COMPETITION WITH THAT AS WELL.

SO ALL OF THOSE FACTORS TOGETHER ARE THE REASON WHY WE SEE THAT ENROLLMENT, YOU KNOW, NOT ONE THAT I WILL SAY THIS, WE STILL HAVE FAMILIES MOVING OUT OF PLANO ISD.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO LIVE AND TO WORK.

WE OFFER A LOT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS WE HAVE 12TH GRADE CLASSES THAT WE'RE GRADUATING OUT EACH YEAR.

WHEN I SAY AGING OUT, WE HAVE 12TH GRADE CLASSES OF ABOUT 4000 STUDENTS EACH YEAR THAT GRADUATE.

WE'RE REPLACING THOSE STUDENTS WITH ABOUT 3000 KINDERGARTNERS.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY YOU SEE THAT GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT, AN OVERALL EFFECT ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

AND ACTUALLY OUR RATIO IS 34% OF THE TIMES WE'VE BEEN HIGHER, AND WE'RE STILL MAKES US THE SECOND LARGEST DISTRICT IN THE STATE, RIGHT? IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THAT.

BUT BOTTOM LINE IS MOST WHEN YOU ACTUALLY RANK THOSE THE STATE RANKS THAT IN TERMS OF JUST OVERALL RECAPTURE DOLLARS.

AND WE ARE IT'S US AND HOUSTON ISD THAT ARE ALWAYS NECK AND NECK.

BUT WHENEVER IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, AUSTIN IS NUMBER ONE.

[00:50:04]

NORMALLY AT THE END WHEN IT'S ALL SETTLED UP, WE NORMALLY WE HAVE BEEN NUMBER TWO AT THE END OF IT.

WE HAVE BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE MORE RED THAN BLUE IN THIS CASE.

ARE THERE A LARGE NUMBER OF NOT LARGE.

THERE ARE ANIMALS THAT ARE SMALLER.

SURE. I, I REALLY LIKE ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS, IS VERY MUCH GETTING MORE MONEY THAN THEIR ACTUAL BUDGET.

RIGHT? IN WEST TEXAS, YOU'VE GOT MINERALS.

I MEAN, I'VE WORKED AT A SCHOOL DISTRICT 70.

I MEAN, OVERALL RECAPTURE WAS $14 MILLION.

WE THINK THAT WOULD BE NOTHING, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY 75% OF THEIR OF THEIR BUDGET.

SO AND SO YES, THERE'S A LOT OF SMALL DISTRICTS WITH, WITH THE MINERALS THAT THE RED SECTION PERCENTAGE OF THEIR OVERALL BUDGET IS A LOT, A LOT HIGHER.

SO I THINK ONE THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS A MULTI-MONTH PROCESS THAT OCCURS TYPICALLY EVERY YEAR, RIGHT? EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT STAFF.

EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO.

EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT INFLATIONARY COSTS AND CONSUMER PRICES.

LIKE EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT THIS.

SO THESE YOU KNOW, THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING EVERY YEAR STEREOTYPICALLY LIKE THE SAME MEETING, THE SAME DEMOGRAPHY.

2ND FEBRUARY IS MY FAVORITE TIME BECAUSE WE GET DEMOGRAPHY.

BUT I THINK, I THINK WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND WHAT SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO TIE TOGETHER HERE, IS YOU ALWAYS NEED TO FIND A PLACE WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING.

THE MONEY THAT WE ARE KEEPING IN SUPPLYING OUR STAFF IS DIFFERENT, BUT THINGS LIKE INFLATION AND THE COST OF EDUCATION AND THE COST OF ELECTRICITY AND THE COST OF INSURANCE AND THE COST OF LABOR WITH BUS DRIVERS AND GIVING OUR TEACHERS AN ACTUAL RAISE.

YOU KNOW, I JUST TYING IT BACK TOGETHER.

THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT, WELL, WHY ARE YOU WHY ARE YOU CHARGING MORE TAXES WHEN YOU'RE LOSING STUDENTS? IT'S A VERY INCOMPLETE PICTURE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.

AND JUST TYING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER WITH THE MULTI-YEAR PROCESS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THE FACT THAT YOU TALK ABOUT THE SAME STUFF, VERY STEREOTYPICALLY OVER HERE. I APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL CONTINUALLY EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH STAFFING? WHAT ARE THOSE RESOURCES LIKE? WHAT ARE THE COSTS? WHAT DOES IT COST OUR DISTRICT TO OPERATE AND HOW WE ARE LOWERING THE TAX RATE WHERE WE CAN.

IN ORDER TO FIND HELP OR HELP OUR TAXPAYERS.

THE. THE QUESTION I WENT BACK AND WAS LOOKING AT WHAT WAS REPORTED IN JUNE.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE, THE GRAPHS THAT SHOW HOW MUCH OF OUR BUDGET GOES AWAY.

AND THIS DOESN'T CHANGE.

I GUESS THIS IS MY QUESTION.

THIS WON'T CHANGE WHAT PERCENTAGE WE HAVE FOR EXCEPTIONAL COSTS.

SO IT'LL STILL STAY AT LIKE 63% AND THEN TWO POINTS, 2.3 OR 2.6% FOR ALL RIGHT.

SO ALL OF THOSE NUMBERS IN THE PIE GRAPH ALL STAY THE SAME.

83 OR 84% OF OUR BUDGET IS PEOPLE.

SORRY, I'M JUST TRYING TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER IN MY HEAD.

ALL RIGHT, SO ON THIS DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEM, DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 2025 FACULTY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 2025 MASTERY PROGRAM.

MORE ON THE NEXT PAGE.

FURTHERMORE, READ THAT PART.

NEXT PAGE. SORRY.

FURTHERMORE, I KNEW THAT THE BOARD APPROVES THE PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASE BY THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE OF $1 04245, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 2.41% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

HOW ARE YOU? SECOND. YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION BY TARRAH LANTZ AND A SECOND BY KATHERINE VAN GOODWIN THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 2025 TAX RATE. FURTHERMORE, IS MOVED THAT THE BOARD APPROVES THE PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASE BY THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE FOR THE DOLLAR 4245, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 2.41% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

[00:55:03]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. I KNOW THAT WAS A WIMPY.

RAISE YOUR HAND. AND I SEE NONE ARE OPPOSED.

SO WE ARE.

WE HAVE A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THAT MOTION, AND.

SO. WILL YOU JUST AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, FOR PEOPLE LISTENING, WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN IN TERMS OF THE TAX RATE LAST YEAR, AS OPPOSED TO THE ACTUAL TAX RATE IS GOING DOWN APPROXIMATELY THREE AND A HALF CENTS PER $100 VALUE FOR EVERY TAXPAYER.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S COMPLEXITIES.

I THINK WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SENATE BILL TWO AND THE JUST THE MOTION LANGUAGE IS A LITTLE BIT UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE WE'RE COMPARED TO A NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

AND YET WE'VE NOT SEEN ANY GROWTH IN OUR FUNDING SINCE COVID 19.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPONENTS OF THE TAX RATE.

AND I WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE DIVE IN DEEPER DIVE INTO THIS RECAPTURE.

SO I WANTED TO KIND OF GO BACK LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SENATE BILL DELTA DURING THE 86TH LEGISLATURE LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN 2019.

THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE RESPONDED TO THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT'S 2015 DIRECTIVE TO REFORM THE ARCHAIC AND OUTDATED PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING SYSTEM, AND IT WAS PROMPTED BY TWO LAWSUITS THAT HAD OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY AND THAT HAD COME UP FOR APPEAL.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

THEY OVERTURNED THE LOWER COURT DECISION, BUT THEIR OPINION CONCLUDED THAT THE CURRENT SCHOOL FINANCE SYSTEM TO BE FAIRLY WITHIN THE SCOPE OF CONSTITUTIONALITY. AND YET IT DESCRIBED IT AS VISITING AND IMPERFECT, AND THEIR OPINION EMPHATICALLY STATED, AND I QUOTE, WE HOPE LAWMAKERS WILL CEASE THIS URGENT CHALLENGE AND UPEND THE OSSIFIED REGIME ILL SUITED FOR 21ST CENTURY TEXAS.

THAT WAS A SUPREME COURT DIRECTV BACK IN 2015.

SO IN 2019, THE LEGISLATURE DID COME THROUGH WITH WHAT WE KNOW AS THE 86TH LEGISLATURE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, HOUSE BILL THREE.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LAST SESSION.

SO IN 2019, THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT REVEALED INITIALLY THAT PLAINTIFFS RECAPTURE WOULD HAVE BEEN 258,000.

I MEAN, MILLION $567,516.

AND THAT WAS IN 2019.

AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THEY HAD NOT ENACTED PARTIAL BRAIN IN THE HOUSE BILL THREE.

IT DID ULTIMATELY PASS, AND THEY DID PROVIDE RELIEF FOR RECAPTURE, AND IT LED TO 36% REDUCTION IN OUR RECAPTURE PAYMENT, YIELDING YIELDING A MERE $166 MILLION CAPTURE PAYMENT THAT YEAR.

AND DESPITE LAWMAKERS CELEBRATING THEIR HISTORIC FIX TO THE FINANCE SYSTEM.

ULTIMATELY, THIS SOLUTION IS FALLING SHORT.

AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY, PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE REVENUES UP.

AND EVEN WITH ONGOING TAX RATE COMPRESSION THAT YOU'VE SEEN, WE'VE BEEN COMPRESSING THE TAX RATE AS WE EXCEED THAT 2.5% VALUE GROWTH IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. OUR TAXPAYERS FACE HIGH TAX BILLS.

AND YET THE STATES RECAPTURE REVENUE CONTINUES TO CLIMB DUE TO THE LACK OF INCREASED ENTITLEMENTS, TOOLS AND THAT BLUE LINE.

I THINK YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL.

THAT SEEMED TO BE PRETTY CONSTANT.

THAT'S THE ENTITLEMENT THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAME.

THE STAGNANT BASIC ALLOTMENT SEVERELY IMPACTS SCHOOL DISTRICTS PURCHASING POWER.

I THINK WE HEARD DAVID STOCKMAN TALK ABOUT THAT PURCHASING POWER, ESPECIALLY IN THE FACE OF DOUBLE DIGIT INFLATION SINCE 19.

THE FUNDING SYSTEM'S FAILURE TO ADJUST FOR INFLATION EXACERBATES THIS ISSUE, AS RISING COSTS ERODE THE VALUE OF FUNDS ALLOCATED TO SCHOOLS.

SO CONSEQUENTLY, THE STATE BENEFITS FROM THE REGION'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND THE INCREASING HOME VALUES.

WHILE TAXPAYERS BEAR BURDEN OF ESCALATING PROPERTY TAXES ON THEIR MOST SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT, ALL WHILE THEY ASSUME THE TAX INCREASE GOES TO FUND THE SCHOOLS.

IT'S JUST MIND BOGGLING.

SO AS WE MOVE INTO THIS 89TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION, DOCTOR TYLER, I THINK YOU SAID THAT EARLIER THAT WE WILL BE GOING INTO A SESSION TO TALK TO OUR LEGISLATORS.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE CREATING LAWS.

IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT OUR LEGISLATORS PROVIDE A SOLUTION BETTER THAN THAT.

[01:00:04]

AND I STAND BY THIS.

ANY EXCESS RECAPTURE FUNDS SHOULD BE REINVESTED IN THE BASIC ALLOTMENT RULES, ENSURING THAT THE FUNDS COLLECTED IN THE NAME OF PUBLIC EDUCATION REMAIN IN PUBLIC EDUCATION, SCHOOL FINANCE SYSTEM.

AND FINALLY, LOCAL CONTROL SHOULD BE RESTORED TO THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PROVIDE THE DISCRETION THAT WILL GIVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO THE DISTRICTS TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR THE DISTRICT. SO THAT'S MY $0.02 ON THE RECAPTURE.

WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT RECAPTURE BRIDGE.

YOU KNOW, NOT FOR ME, BUT I WAS REFERRING TO YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THAT.

AND THAT'S MY $0.02 TONIGHT.

AND I'M SORRY IF I WAS LONG WINDED, BUT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT RECAPTURE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? NO, BUT I LOVE HEARING YOU TALK ABOUT THIS.

SO I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.

SO IF ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RECAPTURE PAY THEIR RECAPTURE PAYMENTS, MAINTENANCE, AND THE STATE HAS THAT BUDGET MONEY AND THEY GO OVER THAT BUDGET.

SAY THEY ARE GOING TO COLLECT $7.4 MILLION.

AND THAT'S WHAT IT WAS THE LAST TIME.

AND THEN THEY COLLECT MORE THAN 7.4.

WHERE DOES THAT EXTRA MONEY END UP? HISTORICALLY, IT'S GONE INTO THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL, AND THEN IT IS REDISTRIBUTED BASED ON WHERE THEY ALLOCATE WHAT'S IN THAT BILL. AND I CANNOT GUARANTEE 100% THAT IT IS GOING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION, IN WHOSE NAME OUR TAXPAYERS WRITE THEIR CHECK WHEN THEY WRITE THEIR CHECK. SO THAT'S DISCOURAGING.

AND I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY EMPHATIC THAT WE MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANY OF THAT EXCESS RECAPTURE, THAT WHEN THEY BUDGET THE STATE BUDGET, THEY'RE GOING TO COLLECT, LET'S SAY $8 MILLION AND THEY REALLY ONLY NEEDED 6 BILLION.

THAT MONEY NEEDS TO GO BACK INTO THE BASIC ALLOTMENT AND GO BACK OUT TO THE STUDENTS.

SO THAT WHEN WE CAPTURE THE RECAPTURED MONEY, THEN IT COULD ESSENTIALLY BE SPENT ON SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND, AS A AS A FORMER AUDITOR, THAT WAS MY PROFESSION.

IT'S ALL.

RIGHT. I'LL GET OFF MY SOAP BOX AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 7.1.

[7. REPORTS]

AND I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO DOCTOR MUNOZ.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HACKBERRY.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PASSION AND ADVOCACY WITH REGARDS TO RECAPTURE AND FUNDING.

BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE, FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE HAPPY TO BRING OUR BACK TO SCHOOL REPORT FOR 2024.

AND I, WE'RE INTO OUR SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL.

WE HAD A GREAT START, I WILL SAY, AND I SAY THAT EVERY YEAR, BUT THIS WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR.

AND JUST TO SHARE JUST A COUPLE OF WINS WITHOUT TAKING AWAY FROM OUR SCHOOL OR OUR REPORT THIS EVENING.

I WANT TO FIRST THANK ALL OF OUR STAFF AND AIR TRANSPORTATION OUR TEACHERS, OUR PRINCIPALS AROUND THIS TABLE, EVERYONE THROUGHOUT OUR ORGANIZATION.

IT TAKES MANY HANDS AND ALL HANDS ON DECK TO MAKE OUR A STUDENT STARTS.

WE HAVE I WANT TO SAY THAT THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND ALSO SHOUT OUT TO OUR COACHING STAFF THERE AND ALSO IN FOOD AND NUTRITION. THOSE THREE AREAS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON GETTING FOLKS OUT, AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT MEAN STARTING OUT WITH EVERYONE, BUT I THINK ALSO SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM REALLY PUTTING OUT ALL OF THE WE'RE HAVING MULTIPLE WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE JOB FAIRS THROUGHOUT THE SPRING AND INTO THE SUMMER.

AND SO ALL OF THE WORK THAT OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM HAS PARTNERED WITH OUR DEPARTMENTS TO GET THE WORD OUT AND MESSAGING JUST TO GIVE OUR READERS, I'M JUST VERY PROUD OF OUR ENTIRE TEAM.

AND I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I KNOW WE'VE GOT A GREAT PRESENTATION, SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER

[01:05:06]

THANK YOU, DOCTOR WILLIAMS, AND THANKS FOR TUNING IN AS WELL.

THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS LAST TUESDAY.

I'M GOING TO SEE IF THIS REMOTE ONE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS LAST TUESDAY.

BUT I WANTED TO SAY THAT IT IS THE CULMINATION OF A LOT OF THINGS BEFORE, SO IT FEELS VERY MUCH LIKE A FIRST, BUT IT REALLY IS ALSO FINAL BECAUSE YOU HEAR A LOT OF WORK LEADING UP TO THAT DAY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR CALENDAR BRIEFLY.

SAFETY AND SECURITY TEAMING UP FOR BACK TO SCHOOL AND BACK TO SCHOOL.

JUST A REMINDER THAT OUR CALENDAR IS ONLINE.

ON ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND LOOKING AT THAT CALENDAR, YOU KNOW, WE WANT SCHOOL ON THE 13TH LOOKING AT THAT CALENDAR.

OUR 2425 SCHOOL YEAR CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE.

SO CAN OUR SIXTH.

SO WE'RE PLANNING AHEAD A LITTLE BIT.

AND THAT'S KIND OF THE FIRST STEP TOWARD PLANNING FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

A BIG FOCUS WILL BE PLACED THIS SCHOOL YEAR ON ATTENDANCE.

WE'RE EXPANDING TRAINING.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME VIDEOS AND SOME OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE BEING PLANNED BY OUR STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

SO LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR YEAR 2425.

A BIG FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENTS WHO ARE COMING TO SCHOOL AND BEING PRESENT IN THE DAY.

ANOTHER BIG FOCUS FOR THIS YEAR AND EVERY SCHOOL YEAR IS SAFETY AND SECURITY.

SAFETY AND SECURITY.

FOR BACK TO SCHOOL ESPECIALLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE PLAN FOR THEN AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

ON SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF OUR ONGOING SAFETY AND SECURITY INITIATIVES.

FOCUSED, AS ALWAYS, ON PREPAREDNESS, PREVENTION, RESPONSE, RECOVERY AND MITIGATION.

OUR STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL.

AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, IT PROVIDES A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES A CONSISTENT, CLEAR AND SHARED LANGUAGE AND ACTIONS AMONG ALL STUDENTS, ALL STAFF AND FIRST RESPONDERS THAT CAN BE APPLIED IN ANY EMERGENCY.

SO WITH GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, TRAINING ON THE STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL OCCURS WITH STAFF BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND THEN FOR STUDENTS WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SCHOOL.

AND THE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED TO PARENTS SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS COMMON LANGUAGE AND COMMON PRACTICES WHEN IT COMES TO EMERGENCY.

TEAMING UP FOR BACK TO SCHOOL, WE HAD SOME REALLY GREAT SUCCESSES WORKING TOGETHER AS TEAM PLANO ISD.

INCLUDING THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR JOB FAIR, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND CONVERSATIONS.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR.

THAT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS THIS YEAR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF PLANO.

IT YIELDED SOME AMAZING RESULTS.

THERE WERE 7000 ATTENDEES NEARLY 6000 BACKPACKS HANDED OUT.

THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE THERE HANDING OUT THIS BREAKFAST.

2000 MEALS DISTRIBUTED AND A HOST OF OTHER FOLKS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THAT OUR FAMILIES WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THROUGH SEVERAL PARTNERS, INCLUDING OUR EDUCATION FOUNDATION, THE PARTNERS YOU SEE THERE ON THE SCREEN, AND ESPECIALLY PLANO.

AND THEN I THINK THAT IT MERITS JUST A LITTLE PAUSE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE GREAT RESULTS, THE HAPPY FACES, THE AMAZING THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL FAIRS. AND THEN FROM BACK TO SCHOOL, FAIR TO JOB FAIR. SO IN JULY WE HOSTED A JOB FAIR, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THREE THAT WE HAD THREE BIG FAIRS THAT WE HAD THIS SEASON.

SO THAT APPROACH TO HAVING MULTIPLE FAIRS THAT ALSO YIELDED SOME INCREDIBLE RESULTS.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I SAY, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THAT THE JULY 23RD JOB FAIR HAD 411 ATTENDEES. AND DOCTOR KENDALL WILL WANT ME TO SAY THAT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SO IN JULY, THEY HAVE MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE TURN OUT FOR A JOB FAIR.

YOU'VE HEARD SOME OF THE RESULTS THAT DOCTOR WILLIAMS ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THAT YIELDED.

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING ABLE TO COVER ALL OF THOSE CASES.

AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW MORE HAPPY FACES.

ESPECIALLY THE FOLKS HOSTING THE JOB FAIRS, THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE TO GREET POTENTIAL.

CLIENTS. AND SO WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE THE GREAT TURNOUT THAT WE HAD, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LAST YEAR.

NOW, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR ADMINISTRATORS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY STARTED AT THE END OF LAST SCHOOL YEAR.

SO AS WE CLOSED OUT LAST SCHOOL YEAR, WE FOCUSED ON PRINCIPAL LEARNING.

AND THAT'S PRINCIPAL IN DEPARTMENT LED TRAINING SESSIONS WERE GIVEN AT THAT CONFERENCE, STOLLE LEARNING IN JUNE, AND IT WAS AN EVENT THAT WAS DESIGNED IN

[01:10:10]

SO THAT WAS AGAIN IN PLANO ISD AT ITS BEST, COMING TOGETHER FOR THE PRINCIPALS.

IN JULY, WE KICKED OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH THE TRAINING CAMP.

SO WE HAD LEADING INTO OUR THEME A TRAINING CAMP STOLLE BACK TO SCHOOL WELCOME FOR OUR PRINCIPALS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO FOCUS ON BEING THE QUARTERBACK AND THE LESSONS LEARNED WE TALKED ABOUT LESSONS THAT WERE LEARNED FROM ATHLETICS, THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS THAT THEY MUST POSSESS TO LEAD A TEAM, EXECUTE PLAYS, AND WIN AS WELL AS FOCUSING ON THOSE INSTRUCTIONAL PLAYS HAVING A SUPPORTIVE CULTURE ACROSS THEIR CAMPUSES.

AND THEN FINALLY THERE WAS THE NEW ADMINISTRATOR BOOTCAMP THIS YEAR.

THAT'S WHERE THE NEWEST ADMINISTRATORS COME TOGETHER TO LEARN SOME OF THE BASICS.

THAT'S A FUN SESSION THAT WE GET TO PARTICIPATE IN AS A TEAM AND TALK TO OUR NEW ADMINISTRATORS.

WITH LOTS OF INTERACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROUPS TO START BUILDING THEIR OWN COHORT AS A NEW TEAM OF NEW ADMINISTRATORS.

THEN SPEAKING OF NEW, THIS YEAR, OUR NEW TEACHER ONBOARDING GOT A NEW NAME CALLED TALENT.

AND THAT WAS THE PLANO ONBOARDING.

AND WELCOME EVERY.

EVERYBODY READY? AND IN THAT EVENT, OUR FIRST EVENT AT THE FINE ARTS CENTER, WE HAD ABOUT 440 NEW TEACHERS.

AND THEN ACCORDING TO THE NOTES, MORE WERE HIRED THROUGHOUT THAT.

SO WE STARTED THAT DAY WITH 140 NEW TEACHERS THAT WERE HIRED THROUGHOUT THAT WEEK, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS.

THE CHOICES WERE PROVIDED ON PINTEREST EXPERIENCE, AND WE HAD LOTS OF DEPARTMENTS PARTICIPATING IN THAT.

AND OVERALL, THIS EVENT WAS THIS TRAINING WAS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE FLOW FOR NEW TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS FOLLOWED BY ALL DISTRICT STAFF DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE TEACHERS COME FIRST AND THEN THE REST OF THE STAFF ARE ON BOARD A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER.

WE HAD A REALLY FUN VIDEO FOR THAT EVENT.

ONE OF OUR MOST WATCHED VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHERE OUR NEW TEACHERS TOLD US ABOUT WHICH SCHOOLS THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN, AND THAT REALLY WELL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

ADDITIONALLY, THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR ALL TEACHERS THAT WAS AN EXTENSIVE THREE DAYS OF LEARNING THAT INCLUDED SUCCESS CONTENT AND CURRICULUM UPDATES LEVERAGING DATA AND INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS ROLES AND IDENTITIES.

ON AUGUST 6TH, EVERYONE TOOK A PAUSE TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

CAMPUSES WERE ABLE TO ENJOY CONVOCATION FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN SCHOOLS OR DEPARTMENTS.

TEAMS WERE ENCOURAGED TO HOST WATCH PARTIES.

WE GOT A LOT OF GREAT PHOTOS AND INPUT AND FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS YEAR'S VIDEO CONVOCATION.

WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO VIEW THOSE WATCH PARTIES, A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO WATCH THEM AGAIN, AND WE THANK OUR TRUSTEES WHO WERE ABLE TO JOIN US FOR THAT.

WE ALSO HAD SOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION AND PROCEDURES TO SET IN ON THAT.

SO WE HAD A GREAT TIME CELEBRATING AT CENTRAL OFFICES ALL OVER CAMPUS IN RELATION TO TO THE COMPETITION. WE DID A SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP.

SO STARTING ON CONVOCATION DAY, WE HAD A TEST ON TUESDAY, AND THEN EVERY DAY AFTER THAT IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL.

WE LEARN WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, MONDAY, AND THEN FINALLY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

THERE ARE RELATED HASHTAGS IF YOU WANT TO JUST GO AND CURATE SOME OF THE REALLY GREAT PICTURES OF SMILES.

LOOK FOR THOSE HASHTAGS AND GET A REALLY GREAT LOOK AT THE SCHOOL.

WELL, THAT WHOLE WEEK OF LEADING UP TO BACK TO SCHOOL.

THAT'S AWESOME.

ANOTHER REALLY GREAT THING TO SHARE IS THAT THIS YEAR, WE'RE SEEING THE RESULTS OF SOME OF OUR 2022 BOND ELECTION IN THE CLASSROOM WITH SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY.

SO WHEN YOU ALL WERE OUT AND ABOUT ON YOUR FIRST DAY, VISIT CASE SOME OF THOSE.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE IN ONE OF THE ROOMS, THOSE THINGS.

BUT THAT TECHNOLOGY INCLUDES AN APPLE TV IN THE CLASSROOM AND LIBRARY AND AN IPAD AND APPLE PENCIL FOR EVERY TEACHER AND LIBRARIAN.

A NEW LAPTOP FOR ALL CAMPUS PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND ADJUSTABLE MOBILE DESK FOR EVERY CLASSROOM AND LIBRARY.

[01:15:01]

AND FINALLY, ONE OF THE LAST THINGS THAT WE'LL LOOK AT IS OUR BACK TO SCHOOL RESOURCES.

SO EACH YEAR WE TRY TO CURATE AS MUCH AS WE CAN ON OUR WEBSITE, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS THAT PUSH PEOPLE FROM THE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA TO OUR CONTENT RICH WEBSITE, WHERE THEY CAN FIND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW FOR BACK TO SCHOOL.

IT'S ALWAYS AT THAT SHORTCUT FOR STUDENTS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL.

YOU GO THERE AND SEE A HOST OF RESOURCES THERE.

THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO CONNECT WITH THE DISTRICT.

INCLUDING OUR TWO WAY COMMUNICATION LET'S TALK ON OUR MOBILE APP.

STILL OUT THERE AND PEOPLE WHO USE.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL A NUMBER OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. AND THEN FINALLY I WANT TO END ON A REALLY FUN NOTE, HOPEFULLY IS FOR EVERYBODY.

JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF BACK TO SCHOOL.

WITH THE VIDEO THAT WE SHOWED.

YOU. AND WE.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS A GREAT REPORT AND THAT WAS A FUN DAY. I GOT TO SEE ONE OF THE ROLLING DESKS AND.

I USE ONE OF THOSE IN MY OFFICE.

OKAY. SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE GOING TO MOVE ON.

NOPE. I JUST WANTED TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THE CONVOCATION VIDEO WAS GREAT, AND A LOT OF THE STAFF WERE VERY THANKFUL TO NOT HAVE TO GO TO SOME LARGE VENUE, ESPECIALLY AN OUTDOOR STADIUM AND LIKE, DEAL WITH THE PARKING AND DEAL WITH SOME OF DOING THAT.

AND I HEARD FROM SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS WHO SAID, THANK YOU FOR NOT PUTTING US THROUGH.

AND I WAS LIKE, THAT'S ALL THANKS TO HER.

SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU GUYS FOR FOR DOING THAT AND ALSO ARRANGING THESE VISITS.

I ONE OF THE CAMPUSES I WAS ON, YOU KNOW, HAD A BRAND NEW PRINCIPAL, TWO BRAND NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS THAT WERE BOTH NEW TO THE DISTRICT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I LOVE DOING THESE VISITS.

I LOVE SEEING THE KIDS ON BACK TO SCHOOL DAY.

LISA AND I ALWAYS ASK, YOU KNOW, DOES YOUR CAMPUS HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE WRITE DOWNS? RIGHT. LIKE DOORS THAT WON'T LOCK OR THINGS THAT SHE'S ABLE TO ACTION VERY, VERY QUICKLY? BUT IT'S ALSO NICE TO JUST HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO STAND THERE AND TALK TO NEW PEOPLE AND LEARN FACES AND SEE THE CAMPUS FOR OURSELVES.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

YEAH. THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR.

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE, AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT WERE HERE THAT THAT HELPED SO MANY AIRLINES AND UNITED AIRLINES. WE HAVE SUCH A PASSION FOR CHILDREN.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER RICK LAWRENCE AND COUNCIL MEMBER JERI, FORMER STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE JEFF BEACH, STATE REPRESENTATIVE ANNE NOBLE AND OUR CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS, THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

WE ALSO SENT STAFF MEMBERS TO HELP OUT.

AND I REALLY ALL I KNOW IS HER NAME IS LESLIE.

YES. YES.

OKAY. SHE WORKED HARD.

SHE WORKED REALLY HARD. SHE STAYED THE WHOLE TIME.

IT WAS. YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY GREAT.

SO THANK YOU TO OUR THE OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS PROGRAM PLANO AS WELL AS OUR STATE AND FOR MOST INDIANS IS STOPPING TO HELP OUT WITH THAT.

WE SEE THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IN OUR.

STORY. AND MY HIGHLIGHT FOR THE CITY SCHOOL WAS THE FORMER STUDENTS.

[01:20:06]

AND THAT YOUNG MAN WHOSE NAME IS SAM WAS.

AND SO I POSTED ON FACEBOOK, AND THAT NIGHT I WAS WALKING MY DOG AND MY NEIGHBOR STOPPED BY.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? I SAID, FINE, BECAUSE I WAS I WAS JACKSON'S FIRST DAY AT HINES AND HE WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SEE A PICTURE OF US.

I WAS LIKE, SAM.

AND HE SAID, YES, HE WAS.

I SAID, WELL, SAM, I GOT REPLIED TO OUR BABY CRIES AND WE SAID.

OUR SON. LAST YEAR WE MADE EVERY.

HE MADE HIS HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.

COACH WALLACE HAS MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON OUR SON AND I WOULD SAY.

AND IT'S JUST AMAZING TO HAVE OUR KIDS GROW UP AND SEE THEM AND BECOME OUR TEACHERS AND OUR COACHES.

AS WELL.

AND. WE'RE VERY LUCKY.

ALL OF THAT. I WANT TO CRY.

SO I HAVE THREE, THREE THINGS TO SAY.

I'M LOOKING FOR MICHAEL.

ONE, I WANT TO THANK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS.

HAVE THEY HAVE THE SAME ONE AT MY DAUGHTER'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHO I REMEMBER FROM LAST YEAR.

SO THAT WAS SUPER FUN.

THEY. AND HE WAS THERE WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE, SPACE, AND THAT'S SO FUN TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY JUST EMBRACE THE SPACE FOR THAT.

SO I JUST WANT TO SEND A SHOUT OUT TO THE ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SECOND, AND THIS FOLLOWS ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT JERRY WAS TALKING ABOUT, JUST HOW COMPASSIONATE AND CARING OUR COMMUNITY IS.

YOU KNOW, LAST LAST YEAR, IT WAS AT THE END OF JUNE.

WE VOTED SEVEN OF US TRUSTEES TO CLOSE OUR SCHOOLS.

AND I AM THE FIRST DAY WENT WITH JOHNNY AND BOBBY LEAR, ONE OF OUR EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP MEMBERS.

WE WENT TO ARMSTRONG AND FOREMAN.

AND SO I JUST REALLY WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE STAFF AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF THOSE FOUR SCHOOLS, BECAUSE THAT WAS A REALLY, REALLY HARD NURSING SCHOOL.

IT'S ALSO KIND OF EXCITING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WELCOMING THE KIDS BACK, BUT IT WAS A REALLY HARD FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS THAT I TALKED WITH AND OUR WE HAVE TWO PRINCIPALS THAT HAVE COME BACK TO HELP US IN THIS LAST YEAR AS MRS AND ONE OF THE SHARED STORY AS WE WALKED PAST THE DOOR OF THE CLASSROOM THAT THAT TEACHER IN THERE, BEHIND THE DOOR, WAS A TEACHER WHO HAD COME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO COME AND HELP TEACH THAT CLASS FOR THIS LAST YEAR.

SO WE HAVE THIS FABRIC, THAT THREAD THAT RUNS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT, AND PEOPLE WHO EITHER GREW UP HERE BECAUSE THEY WERE TAUGHT HERE, OR PEOPLE WHO REALLY VALUE AND CARE ABOUT ISD, AND NOT JUST THAT, WILL ALWAYS STICK WITH ME.

AND I JUST REALLY WANTED TO GIVE ALSO TO THE DAVIS AND CARPENTER STAFF WITH A BIG SHOUT OUT.

AND SO MY THIRD THING I WANT TO SAY, BECAUSE I AM A PTA MEMBER AGAIN AT MULTIPLE SCHOOLS FOR THIS YEAR, SO YOU CAN JOIN THE PTA MEMBERSHIP HERE STARTING AUGUST 1ST.

YOU CAN GO TO 2022.

ORG AND JOIN THE SINGLE SCHOOL, OR YOU CAN GO TO PLANO.ORG AND GET A COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP AND JOIN A FEEDER PATTERN WHERE ITS ELEMENTARY OPERATORS ARE NOT SO CLOSE TO THE PTA VOLUNTEERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

NOTE THAT STAFF LUNCHES AND THEN ALL OF THE BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES. SO THAT'S A HUGE VOLUNTEER JOB.

SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO DO MY MY PROGRESSION.

I JUST WANT YOU TO CHARGE TO YOU ALL ENJOYED THE CLOSING.

AND I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO DO THE SAME.

ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING REMARKS? OKAY. THANK YOU.

LESLIE. WE'LL LET YOU GET BACK OUT THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 7.2 OF OUR REPORTS.

AND IT IS OUR HAZARDOUS ROADWAY GUIDELINES FOR 2025 2026, AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR. HILL. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AND, KEVIN, BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, EVERYONE KNOWS STEVE EWING.

HE HAS HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.

LET ME JUST TELL YOU, WE WERE TALKING EARLIER TODAY, AND.

HE REMINDED ME THAT IT'S ONLY BEEN ABOUT FIVE WEEKS.

5 OR 6 WEEKS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, HE'S GONNA LEAD US THROUGH THIS.

[01:25:02]

MY HAT'S OFF TO STEVE.

HE IS A I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GETS HIS ENERGY FROM BECAUSE HE'S NOT THAT MUCH YOUNGER THAN ME.

BUT THIS GUY, THIS GUY HAS GOT AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF ENERGY.

HE HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB FOR OUR DISTRICT.

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO HIM TO GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. JOHNNY. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

TONIGHT WITH ME ALSO IS MARK SKINNER, OUR DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION.

AND HE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN A PARTNER AND A GREAT TEAMMATE IN THIS WORK FOR TONIGHT'S REPORT.

BUT ALSO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS MARK IS ALSO REPRESENTING AN AMAZING GROUP OF LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO PROVIDE TONIGHT'S REPORT, BUT ALSO IN THE TRENCHES WITH RECRUITMENT, PARTNERING WITH WONDERFUL HR TEAM OVER THERE AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I ACKNOWLEDGE THEM TONIGHT.

WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE. SO THE HAZARDOUS ROADWAY GUIDELINES 2526.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO TO TO KNOW THAT THIS IS 2526 REPORT IN TERMS OF WHAT I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT IN THE NEXT STEPS. AND ON HERE.

SO IT'S FOR ME, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FROM AN OVERVIEW STANDPOINT THAT YOU THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M GATHERING MY INFORMATION.

IT'S NOT STEVE'S INFORMATION, IT'S NOT MARK'S INFORMATION.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY TRANSPORTATION'S INFORMATION.

AND SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS IS REALLY GUIDED THROUGH TO IN ADDITION TO THAT, I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A STUDY THAT TAZEWELL DID FOR US.

THAT CERTAINLY MIRRORS WHAT TVA IS RECOMMENDING THAT THAT WE DO FOR OUR, OUR HOUSES, ROADWAYS.

AND THAT IS COMES TO US IN THE FORM FROM THE TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION ALLOTMENT HANDBOOK.

AND ONE THING THAT WE'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT IS EVALUATION OF THIS ANNUALLY, REPORTING TO THE BOARD ANNUALLY AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD ANNUALLY. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT A SAFETY A TRANSPORTATION SAFETY COMMITTEE AND WHAT THE ROLE THEY WILL PLAY IN THIS WORK.

I'M GOING TO PROVIDE SOME SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FOR YOU TONIGHT IN VARIOUS FORMS, SO THAT NOT ONLY WE CAN BE ABLE TO READ ABOUT, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE.

SO THE VISUAL CONTEXT CONTEXT.

AND THEN CERTAINLY LET'S LET'S GO AHEAD AND DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF THIS OF THIS REPORT HERE VERY SOON.

SO ON THE NEXT PAGE.

AGAIN, I MENTIONED TASBO.

SO TASBO CAME IN TO PLANO ISD IN 2023 AND COMPLETED A STUDY AND MADE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS.

RECOMMENDATION. AS YOU SEE, DISTRICTS SHOULD CONSIDER UPDATING ITS HAZARDOUS ROADWAY PLAN AND FILED THE REVISED PLAN WITH TIA, AND THE PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EACH AREA IDENTIFIED AS HAZARDOUS, MARKED BY STREET IDENTIFICATION, AND INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS WHEN THEY ARE UNABLE TO SAFELY WALK TO THEIR ZONED CAMPUSES. RESULTS OF THE EVALUATION AS DETERMINED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SCHOOL BOARD.

AND SO THEN ALSO FOR CONTEXT, WHAT DOES TIA SAY? WHAT IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

RIGHT. AND SO AND THEY THEY, THEY SAY THAT HAZARDOUS CONDITION EXISTS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS WHEN NO WALKWAY IS PROVIDED AND CHILDREN MUST WALK ALONG OR ACROSS A FREEWAY OR EXPRESSWAY.

AN UNDERPASS BRIDGE.

UNCONTROLLED MAJOR ARTERY.

INDIVIDUAL COMMERCIAL AREA OR ANOTHER COMPARABLE CONDITION.

CONSTRUCTION AREAS MAY BE CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.

AND SO AGAIN, WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS WHAT TO IS ADVISING US TO DO AND RECOMMENDING US TO DO.

TASBO HAS MADE THE EXACT RECOMMENDATIONS, USES THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.

AND IT TALKS ABOUT DEFINING HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

AND IS IT YOUR SCHOOL BOARD MUST ADOPT A LOCAL POLICY THAT DEFINES A HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND IDENTIFIES A SPECIFIC HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC AREAS AND HIGH RISK FOR VIOLENCE AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT THAT CONTAIN HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, ETC..

AND SO, AGAIN, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NOT ONLY DOES TO HAVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT SO DOES HAS BEFORE US AND.

SO THE IMPACT ON FANTASY, I THINK, IS IMPORTANT TO GO AHEAD AND START WITH WITH THIS.

WE WILL SEE A REDUCTION IN HAZARDOUS ROUTES AS A RESULT OF UPDATING THE PLANO ISD HAZARDOUS ROADWAY ROADWAYS ACCORDING TO GUIDELINES.

AND THIS IS WHY THE NEXT STATEMENT IS THE ONE OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS, THE CITIES THAT SERVE PLANO ISD FAMILIES THEY'VE BUILT A TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING MEASURES TO INCREASE SAFETY ON OUR ISD ROADS.

[01:30:05]

RIGHT. WHY DID I COME UP WITH 14? I'M GOING TO GET TO THAT IN JUST A SECOND.

ON OUR NEXT SLIDE, THOUGH, IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT, I THINK, THAT WE LOOK AT CURRENT POLICY.

CURRENT POLICY ALREADY EXISTS UNDER CNA LOCAL.

AND IT TALKS ABOUT IF THE DISTRICT APPLIES FOR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION ALLOTMENT PROVIDED BY THE STATE FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE WITHIN THE TWO MILES OF A THE SCHOOL CAMPUS.

THE BOARD SHALL ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO BECAUSE THAT'S FUNDING, RIGHT? THAT'S FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE BASED ON WHAT WE PROVIDE THE STATE.

AND SO THE RESOLUTION SHALL INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC HAZARDOUS OR HIGH RISK AREAS IN WHICH TRANSPORTATION SHALL BE PROVIDED AND THE DISTRICT SHALL PUBLISH THE LOCATIONS OF THESE ROUTES. AND THE BOARD SHALL ADOPT A REVISED RESOLUTION, WHEN NECESSARY, ACCURATELY REFLECT CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS OR AREAS.

THE LAST SENTENCE IS THE ONE I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON ON THIS SLIDE.

THE BOARD SHALL ADOPT A REVISED RESOLUTION, WHEN NECESSARY, TO ACCURATELY REFLECT CHANGES TO THE CONDITION OR AREAS.

THIS ADOPTION WILL YOU CAN SEE IS FROM MAY OF 2018.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE IS EVEN A LITTLE MORE TELLING.

SO THIS IS THIS IS REGULATIONS AND REGULATION.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT PLANO ISD HAS HAS CURRENTLY IN POLICY AS CRITERIA THAT WE WOULD USE TO DETERMINE OUR HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS.

AND SO I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE TONIGHT IS THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF SIMILARITY IN WHAT OUR CURRENT POLICY SAYS.

AND BUT ALSO WHERE WE'RE MOVING.

AND I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE A DIFFERENCE AS WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE SPECIFIC AND LESS SUBJECTIVE, IF YOU WILL.

AND SO SO FOR EXAMPLE, VOLUME OF TRAFFIC.

AVAILABILITY OF WALKWAYS, SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROADWAY, PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, ETC..

TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS PARENTS EVERYONE'S GOING TO SAY YOUR ROAD LIKE I LIVE ON A SMALL STREET AND THE TEENAGERS FROM MY LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE ON IT 100 MILES AN HOUR, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE NOT.

IT'S LIKE 40, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE 100 SPEAKERS.

LIKE MY KIDS PLAY IN THE FRONT YARD.

THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S VERY SUBJECTIVE.

RIGHT. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE SPECIFIC WITH THIS.

AND ALSO NOTICE THE DATE THIS WAS ISSUED ON OCTOBER 4TH OF 2010, AND SO I PREVIOUSLY STATED 14 OVER 14 YEARS, I THINK.

I CAN'T FIND ANY EVIDENCE THAT WE'VE WE'VE UPDATED OUR HAZARDOUS ROUTES IN AT LEAST 14 YEARS.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE 14 IS COMING FROM.

I'VE CERTAINLY SPOKEN TO MARK AND THE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

I'VE SPOKEN TO OUR DISTRICTS AND I JUST I CAN'T FIND THAT EVIDENCE WHERE THAT'S BEEN UPDATED.

BUT I HAVE FOUND EVIDENCE TO WHERE THE CITIES HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF UPDATING THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEIR SAFETY GUIDELINES OR THEIR, THEIR SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND THINGS IN PLACE, SIGNAGE, ETC..

AND SO WE'LL GO OVER THAT.

OKAY. SO AGAIN, JUST IMPLICATIONS FOR CURRENT POLICY.

LAST UPDATED THE REGULATION WAS 14 YEARS AGO.

IT'S VERY SUBJECTIVE IN NATURE.

THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF AN EQUITABLE APPLICATION IN OUR DISTRICT CURRENTLY.

AND WE ALSO KNOW SOME AREAS NO LONGER MEET THE CRITERIA, AND WE ARE EXCEEDING THE STATE ALLOTMENT OF 10% FOR HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS AND WORKING WITH OUR ROUTE MANAGERS.

I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT WE'RE PAYING ABOUT 16%, SO ABOUT 6% OVER WHAT THE STATE WILL ACTUALLY REIMBURSE US FOR THIS ALLOTMENT.

SO THAT'S COMING OUT OF OUR POCKET OF OF OUR NO POCKET, IN FACT.

AND SO AND THEN TRANSPORTATION STAFFING SHORTAGES IS A NATIONAL CRITICAL ISSUE.

I WILL SAY, HOWEVER, I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS LITTLE MOMENT TO SAY THAT MARK STARTED WITH THE FULL ROUTE STAFF ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

AND THIS WEEK, THANKS TO HIS WORK.

AND OUR COLLABORATION WITH OUR WONDERFUL HR FOLKS WHO HAVE REALLY DONE THEIR BEST TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS, WE KNOW THAT WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE HR PROCESS, YOU HOOK AND YOU REEL RIGHT.

AND SO IF YOU HOOK AND YOU DON'T REEL, FISH GETS OFF RIGHT AS I SAY.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY FISH AND PLANO WE THINK THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE AND WE WANT YOU HERE.

SO AGAIN.

AND THEN THE LAST THING COST OF INFLATION OVER TIME HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT IN 14 YEARS.

RIGHT. AND SO.

SO WE ALSO LOVE TO LOOK AT OUR AT OUR, OUR OUR FRIENDS AND OUR OTHER DISTRICTS.

VERY IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, WE TALK TO THEM OR WE VISIT WITH THEM.

MARK AND HIS TEAM, THEY HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR WITH OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS.

AND SO WE'RE ALWAYS IN FREQUENT COMMUNICATION TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS INTERPRETING THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVE FROM TO THE SAME OR SIMILAR

[01:35:06]

SO THIS IS THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M DISCUSSING IN TERMS OF BEING MORE SPECIFIC WITH OUR WITH OUR REGS OR CRITERIA, IF YOU WILL.

TRANSPORTATION WILL FOLLOW TO GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS.

TRANSPORTATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS THAT MUST CROSS 4 OR 6 LANE ROADWAY.

WE'VE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL LAYER HERE WITH A SPEED LIMIT OVER 45 MILES AN HOUR, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ELSE IS IN PLACE.

WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS CROSSING OVER ROADWAYS THAT HAVE EXCESSIVE POSTED SPEEDS.

WE CERTAINLY KNOW THAT PEOPLE CAN DECIDE TO SPEED, BUT BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE WITH THE POSTED SPEED FOR SIX LANE ROADWAYS THAT DOES NOT HAVE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED TRAFFIC SIGNALS SO UNCONTROLLED.

AND THEN WE'RE BEING SPECIFIC WITH CERTAIN ROADWAYS.

U.S. 7575, CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY TOLLWAY, GEORGE BUSH, PRESTON ROAD, ACTIVE RAILROAD TRACKS AND AREAS THAT DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS OR SAFE PATHS.

AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT A SAFE PATH DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THERE HAS TO BE A SIDEWALK.

AND SO I'M GOING TO PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES.

THESE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.

NO THERE'S NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS CLEAR, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE WORK.

I'VE ALSO GOT SOME PICTURES.

I WENT OUT AND WE TOOK SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THE SITES THAT YOU GUYS COULD ALSO HAVE THAT AS WELL.

AND SO YEAH, SO LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY READ THAT.

ONE. SORRY. THAT ONE.

OKAY. SO THE AREA SOUTH OF AND SO THE MAP IS UP FOR YOU TO SEE.

SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THE VISUAL AREA SOUTH OF HITCHCOCK'S THE GREEN OUTLINE ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED FOR HAZARDOUS BUSSING BECAUSE STUDENTS NEEDED TO CROSS HEDGCOXE ROAD OR LANES 45 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT.

HOWEVER, MANY YEARS AGO, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WITH PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED CROSS CROSSWALK WALK SIGNALS WAS INSTALLED AT THE CORNER OF HISCOX AND DUCHESS.

AREA NORTH OF HITCHCOCK'S RED OUTLINE.

ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED FOR HAZARDOUS BUSSING BECAUSE THE NORTH SIDE OF HITCHCOCK DID NOT HAVE A SIDEWALK BETWEEN DUCHESS AND LONGWOOD.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HITCHCOCK WAS COMPLETED.

AND SO THEN IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE I WENT OUT AND I TOOK PICTURES JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE THE VISUALS AND YOU CAN SEE THE CROSSWALKS ARE ALL THERE.

EVERYTHING'S FUNCTIONAL. I TESTED IT OUT, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THE FADE RIGHT, THE FADE IN THE PAINT.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE WE'VE UPDATED THESE THESE GUIDELINES.

RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE.

AGAIN JUST A PICTURE OF WHAT.

THERE'S THE SIDEWALK ON THE LEFT SIDE THAT I JUST DESCRIBED.

AND WE'LL GO TO EXAMPLE TWO.

RIGHT. AND THEN AND THEN SO AREA WEST OF MURPHY ROAD ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED FOR HAZARDOUS BUSSING BECAUSE AT THAT TIME MURPHY ROAD WAS A TWO LANE BLACKTOP ROAD WITH NO SIDEWALKS. MURPHY ROAD HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A SIX LANE, 45 MILE AN HOUR CONCRETE ROAD.

THERE ARE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WITH PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK SIGNALS AT MURPHY ROAD AND BETSY LANE, AND AT MURPHY ROAD AND GLEN RIDGE DRIVE.

IN ADDITION, THERE ARE TWO DEDICATED PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS, ONE IN FRONT OF MCMILLEN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE OTHER JUST SOUTH OF MURPHY MIDDLE SCHOOL, FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR CROSSWALK SIGNAL LOCATIONS FOR STUDENTS TO CROSS.

MURPHY ROAD AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE VISUALS AS WELL FOR YOU TO SEE.

AND SO THEN THE LAST PART OF MY PRESENTATION REALLY IS TO DISCUSS NEXT STEPS.

AND SO BOARD APPROVAL IN SEPTEMBER TO USE TO RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES AS PRESENTED TO DETERMINE HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS IN PLANO ISD FOR THE 25 2025 2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

WE WILL DEVELOP A TRANSPORTATION SAFETY COMMITTEE.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY COMMITTEE.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL BUS ROUTES, AGAIN, ARE FOR STUDENTS THAT OTHERWISE THEY'RE INELIGIBLE FOR REGULAR BUSSING DUE TO LIVING INSIDE THE TWO MILE TEXAS EDUCATION DEFINED LIMIT FOR BUS ELIGIBILITY.

AND SO THE SAFETY COMMITTEE WOULD DETERMINE WHAT ROADS WOULD, WOULD MEET THE GUIDELINES TO, TO BE DETERMINED AS HAZARDOUS.

THEY WOULD SUBMIT WE WOULD SUBMIT THIS TO THE BOARD FOR FINAL APPROVAL.

THE DISTRICT SAFETY COMMITTEE IS DETERMINATION FOR HAZARD.

BUSSING ARE MADE FOR CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS THAT MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT REQUIRED AND ARE LIMITED TO GRADE LEVEL OF STUDENTS, PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED CROSSING SIGNALS, ACTIVE RAILROAD TRACKS, INCOMPLETE WALKWAYS, MAJOR HIGHWAYS, AND CROSSING GUARDS.

[01:40:06]

EFFECTIVE SCHOOL YEAR.

EFFECTIVE FOR THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THEN CERTAINLY WE WOULD HAVE TO DEVELOP A COMMUNICATION PLAN AND TIMELINE FOR OUR FAMILIES SO THEY CAN MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THEM, FOR THEMSELVES.

AND THEN WE WOULD ALSO NEED A FOLLOW UP REPORT TO TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR WORK AND WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED SINCE WE BEGAN THE PROCESS.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, WE WOULD PRESENT THIS ANNUALLY TO SEE IF UPDATES ARE REQUIRED ANNUALLY OR NEEDED ANNUALLY.

AND THOSE ARE AGAIN, THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM TASBO AND TDA.

AND SO THIS WILL CONCLUDE CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

MAYBE I MISSED IT.

WHO SITS ON THAT TRANSPORTATION SAFETY COMMITTEE? NO, I DID NOT.

AND AND SO WE WOULD THAT WOULD BE A MADE UP OF SCHOOL.

FOLKS THAT CAN CERTAINLY SPEAK TO THAT.

SO, LIKE OUR TRANSPORTATION EXPERTS, WE WOULD LOOK AT CANVAS REPRESENTATION AS WELL AS THEY KNOW THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY KNOW THEIR COMMUNITIES.

AND REALLY, I THINK THE MAKEUP OF THAT, OF THAT THERE'S NO GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT THE MAKEUP OF THE COMMITTEE LOOKS LIKE.

I CAN I CAN GUESS BASED ON WHAT NEEDS TO OCCUR.

TO ADD TO THAT, WE TALKED ABOUT ALIGNING OUR BOARD APPOINTED COMMITTEES THE MOST, AND THIS WOULD BE A WAY TO CONNECT TO OUR BOARD.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND COMMENT.

THE FIRST QUESTION, THIS WAS NOT EXPLICITLY STATED ON THE BOARD, AND I KNOW I'M PRETTY SURE THAT YOU ANSWERED IT.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY BEFORE BECAUSE THIS IS BEING DONE FOR THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR.

THIS WILL BE DONE WITH THE REDRAWN MAPS AND THE LONG RANGE FACILITY.

AND WE WERE STRESSING OUT ABOUT THE EAST SIDE OVER THERE WHERE WE'VE GOT SOME MAJOR CHANGES.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THIS IS BEING DONE FOR NEXT YEAR WITH NEXT YEAR'S MAPS.

THAT IS THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. THE SECOND ONE IS CROSSING GUARDS.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S TRUSTEE SOMETIMES FOR, LIKE, THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WHICH IS GOOD, BECAUSE ONLY I KNOW.

OH, HERE'S THE PERSON YOU NEED TO TALK TO TO GET THAT RESOLVED KIND OF TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC COPS, IN A WAY.

BUT THIS IS ONE WHERE WE ULTIMATELY GET TO THE DEPARTMENT.

AND SO WHO IF YOU WANT TO BE A CROSSING GUARD OR PASSING YARDS AND IF YOU WANT TO BE A CROSSING PRESSING THE RADIO TO YOUR EAR.

YES, MA'AM. YOU ARE CORRECT.

WE MAY SEE SOME OF THOSE COMPLAINTS, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY ARE EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF PLANO.

AND CERTAINLY WE WOULD LIKE CROSSING GUARDS AT EVERY CROSSWALK, BUT THEY ARE EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF PLANO IS WHERE YOU WOULD.

YOU WOULD CONTACT THE CITY OF PLANO.

AND YOU WOULD SEEK THAT EMPLOYMENT SAFELY.

SHOUT OUT TO. THE THE LAST COMMENT I HAVE IS ABOUT THE POLICY, AND I WANT TO THANK THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR ME HEARING IN GENERAL ABOUT POLICY.

YOU KNOW, COMING INTO THIS YEAR AND CONTINUING THAT THIS ONE ISN'T THE WORST.

I THINK WE'VE UPDATED RECENTLY.

WE WE UPDATED ONE THAT I THINK WAS LAST UPDATED WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AT ONE POINT ON THE POLICY UPDATE, THAT WE HAD LAST MEETING.

AND SO I JUST I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION OF THE SIZE OF OURS.

SOMETIMES POLICIES ARE VERY ENDURING AND THEY CONTINUE TO WORK FOR A LONG TIME, AND OTHER TIMES THEY NEED TO BE UPDATED.

AND IT'S JUST A LOT OF PROBLEMS. RIGHT? I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU PERSONALLY, SUPERINTENDENT, FOR NOT ONLY BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT LOOKING AT ALL OF THESE POLICIES, UPDATING ALL OF THESE POLICIES, BUT THEN ALSO GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE INVOLVED IN.

REFINING HINES TO TALK ABOUT THE BOUNDARY CHANGES IN THE WESTERN CLUSTER, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE HAZARDOUS ROADS AS WE MAYBE LOOK AT DISTRICTS TO STUDENTS AND POSSIBLY, POSSIBLY.

[01:45:05]

MADE THUS FAR.

WE'RE BRINGING BACK THE WEST.

COME IN SOMETIME THIS FALL.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN ADEQUATE TO THAT QUESTION BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY IF THERE WERE ANY BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS AND THIS BOARD AND THIS PLAN OR PROPOSAL WOULD APPLY TO ANY CHANGES THAT WOULD BE RESOLVED PEACEFULLY.

BUT ONE THING ABOUT IT HAS THIS ROAD BEFORE, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO LOOK AT HOW TO GET THE KIDS AFTER WE DO THAT OPERATION, THAT WAS ONE OF OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

IT HAS GROWN SINCE THEN.

OKAY, SO WE HAVE A SCHOOL NOW THAT HAS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION, AND THE NUMBERS ARE SET TO MOVE STUDENTS TO A DIFFERENT CAMPUS.

THAT DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY COST AND THEN WITH THAT, ANY FURTHER CONSIDERATION WOULD NEVER COME FIRST.

BUT THAT'S A CONSIDERATION.

SO THAT THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.

THANK YOU, STEVE, FOR THAT REPORT.

APPRECIATE YOU. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN, THREE OF OUR REPORTS, WHICH IS THE SKYWARD ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING ERP AND STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE.

AND SO I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO YOU, DOCTOR.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CABINET.

WE'RE HAPPY TO BRING FORWARD THIS EVENING AN UPDATE ON OUR PROGRESS WITH THE SKYWARD IMPLEMENTATION.

FOR THIS REPORT, I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO MR. GREG RHYMES WITH OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS, AND HE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH OUR UPDATED TIMELINES AND WHAT PROGRESS WE'VE MADE SINCE THE LAST TIME BEFORE YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR CONOR.

WE'VE WE'VE PRESENTED TO YOU A NUMBER OF TIMES.

I'LL JUST GO QUICKLY.

I KNOW IT'S VERY LATE, BUT JUST A QUICK RECAP OF EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE WITH THE ERP SYSTEM.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, HUMAN RESOURCES, PAYROLL, TIME CLOCKS, ASSET MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEE PORTAL THAT THE BUSINESS SIDE, SO TO SPEAK, OF THE DISTRICT WITH THE SIS STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OR TEACHING SIDE OF THE BUSINESS.

SO OBVIOUSLY ADMINISTRATION, GRADEBOOK, ATTENDANCE, ENROLLMENT, FAMILY ACCESS, STATE REPORTING.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF ENVIRONMENTS.

WE STARTED OUT LOOKING AT TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS.

WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF SPLIT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTS WHERE WE'VE HAD ERP AND SUSTAIN A SEPARATE.

WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE'VE DONE SOME TESTING AND THEN OUR LIVE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS THE SYSTEM THAT OUR OUR TEACHERS, OUR STUDENTS, OUR PARENTS, OUR ADMINISTRATORS ACTUALLY USE FOR THE REAL OPERATIONS.

AND THEN GOING THROUGH EACH OF THESE DATA MIGRATION PHASES FOR EVERY BIT OF DATA MIGRATION WE'VE DONE AND WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE OVER 4.5TB OF DATA THAT WAS IN TEAMS. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF DATA, A LOT OF RECORDS TO MOVE.

SO THROUGH ALL OF THESE PHASES OF DATA MIGRATION, WE'VE HAD AT LEAST ONE PRELIM PHASE.

WE'VE HAD OUR TARGETED GO LIVE PHASE, WHICH IS OUR MISSION CRITICAL DATA THAT'S REQUIRED DAY ONE AND THEN THE ANCILLARY PHASES, WHICH IS SUPPLEMENTAL MIGRATIONS. TYPICALLY THOSE ARE GOING TO BE HISTORICAL DATA THAT WE NEED TO BRING OVER, BUT AREN'T NECESSARILY SOMETHING WE HAD TO HAVE DAY ONE SCHOOL STARTED.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH QUITE A FEW SERIES OF DATA MIGRATIONS.

A LOT OF THESE GOING BACK ALL THE WAY TO TO NOVEMBER AFTER THE INITIAL PRELIMINARIES.

WE AS WE GET INTO APRIL AND MAY, WE STARTED TO GET INTO A LOT OF THE LIVE FINAL MIGRATIONS.

SO BRINGING OVER OUR FINAL STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS BEGINNING OF APRIL HAD A COUPLE OF PRELIMINARIES FOR ERP.

OUR FINAL FAMILY DEMOGRAPHICS.

SO THAT WAS BRINGING OVER ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE PARENT INFORMATION THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY.

OUR LIVE HEALTH MIGRATION IN JUNE.

OUR STATE REPORTING THOSE ADDITIONAL FIELDS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR STATE REPORTING AND TEAMS. THAT MIGRATION WAS COMPLETED AT THE END OF JULY.

WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREAT MIGRATION.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST REVIEW OF THAT PRELIMINARY DATA THIS THURSDAY.

[01:50:04]

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'LL LOOK AT HISTORICAL GRADES, TRANSCRIPTS.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY THAT WE NEED TO RUN OUR TRANSCRIPTS IN SEPTEMBER FOR OUR CURRENT YEAR SENIORS TO BE SUBMITTING TRANSCRIPTS APPLICATIONS TO COLLEGES.

SO WE'RE IN A VERY TIGHT TIMELINE THERE.

ORIGINALLY UNDER SKYWARDS NORMAL COURSE OF MIGRATIONS, WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THAT DATA UNTIL SOMETIME, PROBABLY OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER.

BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND MOVE THAT UP TO A VERY COMPRESSED TIMELINE TO MEET OUR DISTRICT POLICY.

WE'RE HAVING THAT THOSE TRANSCRIPTS AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER.

GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER RECENT MILESTONES.

THE BIGGEST, OF COURSE, IS THAT WE ARE FULLY LIVE WITH THE START OF SCHOOL AND OUR CIS.

SO THAT DATA MIGRATION IS COMPLETE.

IT'S AN OPERATION, AS I MENTIONED.

HISTORICAL GRAVES ARE STILL BEING MIGRATED.

WE STILL HAVE ACCESS FOR OUR TEAMS, CIS FOR HISTORICAL GRAVES AND TRANSCRIPTS.

SO RIGHT NOW WE RUN A TRANSCRIPT.

WE HAVE A TRANSFER REQUEST FROM A GRADUATE.

WE WOULD RUN THAT STILL OUT OF TEAMS. WE ARE STILL FOR T-REX.

FOR A STUDENT THAT'S GONE TO ANOTHER DISTRICT TO TRANSFER THOSE RECORDS.

THOSE ARE STILL BEING TRANSFERRED OUT OF TEAMS, BUT THAT DATA IS NOW STATIC.

IT'S READ ONLY. SO WHILE THE CAMPUSES HAVE ACCESS TO GO IN AND GET THOSE RECORDS THAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE COURSE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS, THEY CANNOT GO IN AND ALTER ANY OF THOSE RECORDS NOW. ANYTHING NEW OR BEING CHANGED ON THE CIS SIDE IS GOING TO BE IT'S GOT WE WILL LIVE WITH OUR NEW STUDENT ONLINE ENROLLMENT JULY 8TH.

SO THAT WAS THE CUT OVER FOR BRAND NEW STUDENTS COMING INTO THE DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO ENROLL AND APPLY TO COME TO PLANO ISD.

WE'VE HAD NONE OF THESE NUMBERS ARE A FEW DAYS OLD NOW.

WE PUT THESE ON AUGUST 14TH, BUT AT THAT POINT WE HAD JUST UNDER 3000 SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS.

THAT'S NOT THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS WE'VE HAD FOR ENROLLMENT FOR THE YEAR.

A LOT OF THAT CAME IN THE SPRING THAT WE'RE STILL IN TEAMS, AND THAT WAS MIGRATED OUT.

THESE ALMOST 3000 OR ONES THAT WERE STARTED IN SKYWARD, NATIVE TO SKYWARD WITH THE NEW SYSTEM.

WE OPENED OUR RETURNING STUDENT REGISTRATION JULY 22ND, AND AS OF THE 14TH, WE HAD 31,485 SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED REGISTRATIONS. SO THAT IS THE YEARLY REGISTRATION.

THE RETURNING STUDENTS GO IN AND FILL OUT AGAIN THEIR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION, HEALTH INFORMATION, ALL THE THINGS WE WANT THEM TO FILL OUT.

EACH YEAR WE'VE HAD AT THAT POINT JUST UNDER 30,000 UNIQUE PARENT ACCOUNT LOGINS.

WE TURNED ON OUR STUDENT LOGINS FOR FAMILY ACCESS ON AUGUST 5TH.

THE FIRST WEEK ALONE WE HAD OVER 5000 UNIQUE STUDENT ACCOUNT LOGINS.

LAST I LOOKED, WE HAD OVER 15,000 DIFFERENT STUDENTS LOG IN TO FAMILY ACCESS WITH THEIR NETWORK ACCOUNTS.

THE SAME DAY, WE TURNED ON THE RETURNING REGISTRATION OPTION AND ALLOWED PARENT ACCOUNTS JULY 22ND.

WE ALSO ENABLED ACCESS TO THE SKYWARD MOBILE ACCESS APP THAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE APPLE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY STORE OR THE MICROSOFT STORE.

ONE THING THAT'S UNIQUE ON THE SKYWARD APP IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE SEPARATE APPS.

THEY HAVE ONE APP THAT'S SIMILAR TO THE WEBSITE HAS MULTIPLE PORTALS.

SO A PARENT THAT'S ALSO A TEACHER MAY HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS SO THEY CAN SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN WHAT THEY LOG IN AS A PARENT VERSUS WHAT THEY LOG IN AS A TEACHER. AND THAT, THAT ACTUALLY EVEN WORKS ACROSS DISTRICTS.

SO WE HAVE PARENTS PLANO WHO MAY TEACH IN ANOTHER DISTRICT IN DISTRICT SKYWARD.

THEY CAN ACTUALLY LOG IN WITH THAT APP TO THEIR, SAY, FRISCO ISD OR WHATEVER DISTRICT IT IS THAT THEY HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH, AND THEN LOG IN WITH THEIR PARENT ACCOUNT WITH PLANO.

SO IT IS A BIT UNIQUE IN THAT THEY JUST HAVE THAT ONE APP THAT COVERS EVERYTHING.

WE HAD OUR DISTRICT WIDE SCHEDULED RELEASE ON AUGUST 5TH, SO THAT WAS THE DAY THAT SCHEDULED WERE AVAILABLE AND FAMILY ACCESS ACROSS ALL THE CAMPUSES IN THE DISTRICT.

WE STARTED OUR THIRD PARTY SYSTEM ROSTERING THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5TH.

WE HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED DIFFERENT INTEGRATIONS, SO THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

THE CIS IS THE SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR A LOT OF OUR DATA, BUT FOR ACTUAL LEARNING TO TAKE PLACE, A LOT OF THAT DATA HAS TO BE MOVED TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

SO WE HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED DIFFERENT INTEGRATIONS.

WE DO HAVE I'LL TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THOSE AT THE END, BUT WE HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE UP AND ROSTERING DATA.

AND SO WITH THE START OF SCHOOL, AUGUST 13TH, THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, OUR TEACHERS TOOK ATTENDANCE AND SCOURED FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WE ALSO DID HAVE SOME ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADES GOING IN EVEN ON THE FIRST DAY.

ON OUR PARENT PORTAL JUST KIND OF A REMINDER OF WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT ON THAT THE OLD PARENT PORTAL ACCOUNTS WERE NOT MIGRATED, SO WE DID HAVE TO START FROM SCRATCH

[01:55:08]

SO ALL PARENTS, NEW OR EXISTING, HAD TO REESTABLISH THEIR CREDENTIALS AND CLAIM THAT ACCOUNT.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF NOTABLE BUSINESS PROCEDURE UPDATES AROUND THE WAY CAMPUSES CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH THE RELEASE OF SKYWARD.

ONE OF THOSE IS AROUND ATTENDANCE.

SO PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE HAD ATTENDANCE, WE HAD A SEPARATE GRADEBOOK AND PINNACLE.

IT WAS NOT REAL TIME.

THAT DATA HAD TO BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TEAMS SIS AND THE PINNACLE GRADEBOOK OVERNIGHT.

SO A STUDENT WAS ADDED TO A CLASS THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP TILL THE NEXT DAY.

ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE IN PINNACLE AND THE GRADEBOOK WOULD NOT GET COPIED BACK OVER TO THE SYSTEM FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY.

SO THERE WAS THAT GAP IN TIME AS THEY MOVED DATA BACK AND FORTH WITH SKYWARD.

OUR GRADEBOOK IS THE SAME AS THE SIS.

IT'S REAL TIME.

IF A REGISTRAR OR COUNSELOR ADDS A STUDENT TO A CLASS, BY THE TIME THAT STUDENT'S DOWN AT THE TEACHER, THAT STUDENT'S GOING TO BE THERE AVAILABLE FOR ATTENDANCE, FOR GRADES, FOR ANYTHING.

BY THE SAME TOKEN, WHEN A TEACHER TAKES ATTENDANCE, THE FRONT OFFICE CAN SEE THAT IMMEDIATELY WITHIN SKYWARD.

SO THERE'S NO LONGER THAT GAP, THAT DELAY IN TIME.

SO PREVIOUSLY, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THINGS WORKED, TEACHERS TOOK ATTENDANCE AND PINNACLE AND ALSO ON A PAPER ROSTER, THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE OFFICE IN A TIMELY MANNER THAT THEY NEEDED BECAUSE THE, THE ELECTRONIC INTEGRATION WOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE NEXT DAY.

AND WE GAVE STUDENTS THROUGH DAY FIVE OF SCHOOL BEFORE WE PROCESSED THEM AS A NO SHOW.

SO A MORE STREAMLINED PRACTICE WE HAVE NOW WITH SKYWARD TEACHERS WILL TAKE ATTENDANCE IN SKYWARD FROM THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, WHICH WE DID EVEN WITH THE LAUNCH OF THIS YEAR, ALL STUDENTS NOT IN ATTENDANCE ON THE FIRST DAY WERE NO SHOWED.

COUNSELORS ARE ABLE TO REINSTATE THAT STUDENT THOSE COURSE REQUESTS FROM STUDENTS IF THEY SHOW, YOU KNOW, DAY TWO, THREE, 4 OR 5, WHATEVER IT IS.

BUT THAT ADAPTATION IS NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO GET NUMBERS ON STAFFING SOONER.

SO BY KEEPING THAT DATA REAL TIME, IT GIVES US A MUCH BETTER PICTURE OF WHERE WE ACTUALLY ARE AND WHAT OUR STAFFING IS LOOKING LIKE ON THE CAMPUSES.

ANOTHER UPDATE WITH SKYWARD.

PREVIOUSLY, WE KEPT ALL OF OUR ATTENDANCE DOCUMENTATION ON PAPER NOTES.

WITH SKYWARD. WE WERE MOVING TO ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTATION.

SO WE WILL STILL ALLOW PARENTS TO TURN IN A PAPER NOTE.

SO THEY SEND A NOTE WITH THE STUDENT.

THE FRONT OFFICE WILL ACTUALLY SCAN THAT DOCUMENT INTO SKYWARD.

IT'LL BE AVAILABLE THERE FROM THE STUDENT'S RECORD IN SKYWARD.

BUT THEN WE'RE ALSO ALLOWING PARENTS TO UTILIZE FAMILY ACCESS WITHIN THE FAMILY ACCESS PORTAL.

THEY CAN GO IN AND SUBMIT ABSENCE NOTES.

THEY CAN DO THAT AHEAD OF TIME EVEN BEFORE THE STUDENT COMES BACK.

AND AND THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS THAT IT GIVES US A MUCH EASIER WAY TO ACCESS THOSE NOTES THROUGH THOSE AUDITING AND KEEPING IT ALL IN ONE PLACE.

IT ALSO MAKES IT MUCH MORE STREAMLINED FOR THOSE PARENTS WHO CHOOSE TO USE THE ELECTRONIC VERSION.

IT'LL BE MUCH QUICKER FOR THE CAMPUSES.

LESS PAPERWORK AND WORK THEY HAVE TO DO THAT TAKES THEM AWAY FROM WE.

WANT TO COVER A LITTLE BIT OF SOME OF OUR GO LIVE CHALLENGES THERE.

CERTAINLY WE KNEW GOING INTO THIS NO NO IMPLEMENTATION THIS LARGE, ESPECIALLY FOR A DISTRICT OF OUR SIZE, IS WITHOUT SOME CHALLENGES.

ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ONES WAS AROUND PARENT ACCOUNTS.

THE WAY WE CHOSE TO IMPLEMENT OUR PARENT ACCOUNT SYSTEM WAS WE KEPT VERY MUCH THE LONG RANGE GOAL, LONG RANGE GOAL IN MIND.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE CREATED A PARENT PORTAL.

THE INITIAL LOGIN THE PARENTS ACTUALLY LOG INTO IS OUR OWN CONTROLLED PORTAL BY PLANO ISD.

AND WE HAVE THAT SET UP TO WORK CURRENTLY WITH SKYWARD.

BUT ALSO WE'VE GOT THE ABILITY NOW TO EXPAND AS OTHER PROGRAMS. THERE'S A THERE'S A BIG MOVEMENT TOWARDS PARENT INVOLVEMENT FOR A LOT OF THESE APPLICATIONS.

SO AS MORE AND MORE APPLICATIONS START TO SUPPORT PARENT ACCOUNTS, WE HAVE THE SYSTEM IN PLACE NOW TO BE ABLE TO DO SINGLE SIGN ON FOR PARENTS INTO THOSE SYSTEMS. SO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO WITH STAFF AND STUDENTS, WE CAN SEND THEM TO CLASSLINK.

WE HAVE A SIMILAR PORTAL THAT PARENTS WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO.

SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPTIONS RIGHT NOW THAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO SKYWARD FAMILY ACCESS.

BUT WE DID VERY MUCH TAKE THE LONG TERM APPROACH OF MAKING SURE WE WERE SET UP FOR WHAT WE NEEDED OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE OUR CLIENTS ACCESS TO ALL THE RESOURCES THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

PART OF THE PROCESS OF CLAIMING THE ACCOUNTS WE HAD TO MATCH WHAT PARENTS WERE GIVING US THIS INFORMATION TO WHAT WE HAD CURRENTLY IN THE SYSTEM.

THERE WERE SOME SOME CHALLENGES WITH THAT.

DATA WAS NOT CORRECT IN THE OLD SYSTEM.

IT MIGHT NOT MATCH UP.

THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH CLAIMING THAT ACCOUNT.

[02:00:01]

WE DID HAVE INSTRUCTIONS ON THERE TO USE LEGAL NAME, BUT I KNOW MY LEGAL NAME WAS GREGORY AND I DON'T USUALLY THINK THAT MY NAME WAS GREGORY.

I HAVE TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? MY NAME IS GREG.

SO, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH FILLING OUT A FORM, YOU CAN SAY, USE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PUT YOUR NAME IN, AND YOU GO BY AND YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

SO SOME OF THAT DATA MATCHING COSTS AND ISSUES ON BEING ABLE TO GET PARENTS THEIR ACCOUNTS CLAIM INITIALLY.

WE COULD HAVE CERTAINLY LOOSENED UP THE MATCHING CRITERIA AND HAD FEWER OF THOSE ISSUES, BUT PROTECTING STUDENT DATA WAS OUR TOP PRIORITY.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT WE WERE MATCHING UP THE STUDENT DATA WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT DATA.

SO SOME OF THOSE ISSUES LED TO PROBLEMS WITH PARENTS BEING ABLE TO REGISTER.

SOME PARENTS, IF THEY DIDN'T MATCH THE DATA CORRECTLY, WERE ABLE TO REGISTER WHEN THEY LOOKED AT THEM AS BEING A BRAND NEW STUDENT.

SO I WOULD ASK THE QUESTION OF WHY DO WE ALLOW PARENTS TO REGISTER? DON'T MATCH. WELL, WE HAVE TO DO THAT FOR NEW STUDENTS.

SO IF YOU'RE COMING TO PLANO FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU'RE BRINGING STUDENTS NEVER BEEN HERE.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A WAY FOR YOU TO REGISTER TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHILD.

SO IF IT WAS NOT ABLE TO MATCH, IF IT WAS FAR ENOUGH OFF SOME OF THOSE PARENTS MAY HAVE BEEN TREATED AS NEW PARENTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MATCH THEM.

AND SO THEN THEY DIDN'T SEE STUDENTS.

THEY ONLY SAW THE OPTION TO ENROLL NEW STUDENTS, NOT THEIR EXISTING STUDENTS.

SOME PARENTS WE SAW SAW SOME STUDENTS, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.

AND THAT WAS PRIMARILY RELATED TO ISSUES OF THE WAY DATA WAS STORED IN TEAMS. SO IF THINGS WEREN'T PROPERLY MATCHED AND TEAMS THOUGHT THEY WERE TWO DIFFERENT GUARDIANS, TWO DIFFERENT FAMILIES THEN WE WERE ABLE TO MATCH THEM TO ONE.

THERE WAS OTHER DATA STILL SITTING OUT THERE, AND SOME OF THAT REQUIRED MANUAL INTERVENTION TO GO IN AND MATCH AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PARENTS WERE SEEING ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS. SO OUR RESPONSE IS, HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THESE CHALLENGES? ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID WAS WE DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ANSWERING HELPDESK CALLS.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE RAN INTO WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT DID COME UP WERE THAT THEY WERE NOT SIMPLE TO SOLVE.

IT WASN'T SO MUCH A, YOU KNOW, GO HERE, LOOK AT THIS SETTING REBOOT.

DO THIS. YOU KNOW, A MINUTE, TWO MINUTES.

MOVE ON. IT WAS MATCHING, VERIFYING THAT, HEY, YOU'VE GOT THESE TWO ACCOUNTS.

THESE ARE REALLY THE SAME THING.

THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE DID ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION WITH ANY BODY THAT WAS FLAGGED WITH A CUSTODY ORDER.

WE REQUIRED A MANUAL REVIEW FOR ANYBODY WITH A CUSTODY ORDER TO MAKE SURE THOSE WERE THAT WE WERE CREATING ACCESS TO THE PEOPLE.

SO A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE THINGS THAT TOOK FIVE, TEN, SOMETIMES 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO RESOLVE FOR A SINGLE EVENT.

SO THAT LED TO A BACKLOG OF CALLS.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID WAS DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ANSWERING THE HELP DESK CALLS.

WE BROUGHT ALL HANDS ON DECK WORKING HELP DESK TICKETS.

WE BROUGHT IN NETWORK ENGINEERS, ADMINISTRATORS, COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US TO TRIAGE AND BRING SOME OF THOSE. AND, AND WE HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE WHOSE JOB IT WAS NOT TO SUPPORT THAT TAKING ON THOSE DUTIES, IN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT OF INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK THEY ALREADY HAD ON TOP OF THINGS.

SO WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING, YOU KNOW, 12 PLUS HOUR DAYS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK TRYING TO TO WORK THROUGH THOSE AND THEN ONE OF THE LAST THINGS WE DID ONE OF THE THINGS WE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ISSUES WITH DATA MATCHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CLEAN UP MANUALLY.

IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF ANY OF THESE MIGRATIONS.

WE HAD A LARGER THAN EXPECTED NUMBER OF PARENTS REGISTERING WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESS THAN WE HAD ON FILE.

IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT WE HAD A LOT OF OF OLDER DATA ON OUR EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR PARENTS.

SO IF YOU CAME IN AND YOU WERE PUTTING IN A DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WAS NOT MATCHING CORRECTLY.

SO WE PIVOTED VERY QUICKLY.

OUR PROGRAMING TEAM WAS ABLE TO COME UP WITH AN AUTOMATED PROGRAM OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF DAYS TO AUTOMATE THE INITIAL ACCOUNT CREATION FOR PARENTS.

WHEN WE FIRST STARTED ALL OF OUR EXISTING PARENTS, IT WAS A BRAND NEW PARENT HAD TO GO TO A PAGE AND PUT IN THEIR FIRST NAME, THEIR LAST NAME, THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS, THEIR ADDRESS, AND ALL THAT DATA HAD TO MATCH.

WHAT WE DID WAS GO AHEAD AND PULL WHAT WE HAD IN TEAMS OUT POPULATE THAT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE THE EMAIL TO THEM WITH THE CLAIM CODE TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS WE HAD ON FILE.

SO THEY RECEIVED AN EMAIL AT THAT ADDRESS.

THEY KNOW WHICH EMAIL ADDRESS TO USE.

THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE IT LATER ONCE THEY LOG IN, BUT AT LEAST IF THEY STILL HAD ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT, EVEN IF IT WASN'T THEIR PRIMARY ACCOUNT THAT THEY GOT THEM ON THE WAY. AND THAT REALLY INCREASED THE ADOPTION AND THE NUMBER OF LOGINS WE WERE SEEING, AND STARTED TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF NEW TICKETS COMING IN.

ON THE OTHER. I DON'T HAVE A SLIDE FOR IT HERE.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES ON, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED INTEGRATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH GETTING DATA OUT.

WE HAVE SOME THAT BRING DATA BACK INTO THE SIS AS WELL.

[02:05:01]

WE HOPE TO HAVE THOSE DONE VERY SOON, BUT WE DID NOT GET 100% INTEGRATIONS ON DAY ONE.

WE HAD MAJORITY OF THEM, BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH A FEW ADDITIONAL INTEGRATIONS, BRINGING OUR DATA BACK INTO THE SIS AS ONE OF THOSE.

OUR REVIEW 360 INTEGRATIONS ONE.

THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW LITTLE HICCUPS.

WE'VE HAD SOME THINGS THAT WORKED CORRECTLY.

SKYWARD HANDLES SPECIAL CHARACTERS AND NAMES A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN TEAMS DID, AND SO AN EXPORT THAT HAD BEEN WORKING AT SOME OF THOSE NAMED CHARACTERS CAME IN, WROTE SOME OF THE EXPORTS, AND WORKED WITH SKYWARD ON SOME AUTOMATION TO GO IN AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CHARACTER SET COMING OUT DOESN'T BREAK THOSE.

SO SOME THINGS THAT WORK ON DAY ONE YOU KNOW, BROKE ON DAY 2 OR 3.

AND SO WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THOSE ONE OFFS AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER THINGS WHERE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THE WAY THAT SKYWARD STORES INFORMATION ON TITLE ONE STUDENTS IS STORED DIFFERENTLY.

AND SO WE HAD TO WORK WITH SKYWARD TO DO SOME AUTOMATION ON THE BACK END TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS WERE GETTING TAGGED CORRECTLY FOR THINGS PAST TOWN.

I KNOW WAS ONE OF THEM THAT USED THAT INFORMATION.

SO WE WE'VE GOT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE THOSE INTEGRATIONS IN PLACE.

WE ARE WE ARE CONTINUING TO TROUBLESHOOT AS WE GET MORE DATA AND WE GET MORE THINGS GOING THROUGH THERE AND WE HOPE TO FINISH THOSE LAST FEW, HOPEFULLY VERY QUICKLY.

ON THE ERP SIDE, WE HAVE HAD A TIMELINE CHANGE.

OUR ORIGINAL PLAN, WHICH WAS VERY, VERY AGGRESSIVE FOR ANY DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY FOR ONE OUR SIZE, WAS TO ROLL OUT OUR ERP CHANGEOVER AT THE SAME TIME AS THE SAS CHANGEOVER.

WE HAVE DELAYED. WE ARE NOT LIVE ON ERP, WE ARE STILL ON TEAMS FOR OUR ERP SYSTEM.

SO FINANCE, PAYROLL, HR, PURCHASING, OUR EMPLOYEE SERVICE CENTER THAT IS ALL STILL BEING SERVICED OUT OF TEAMS. WE DID AS PART OF THAT HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL INTEGRATION.

SO WE DO HAVE SOME AUTOMATION GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN TEAMS AND SKYWARD.

SO AS SOMEBODY AS A TEACHER HAS HIRED IN TEAMS, AUTOMATICALLY THEY'RE GETTING SENT OVER TO SKYWARD AND THE RECORD IS BEING CREATED.

SO THEY'RE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE MASTER SCHEDULER TO BE ABLE TO ADD THEM AND GET THEM ASSIGNED TO THEIR CLASSES AND GOING AS SOON AS IT'S POSSIBLE.

THERE WERE THERE WERE A NUMBER OF REASONS FOR THAT CHANGE.

ONE OF THEM WAS RELATED TO OUR BECAUSE WE WENT THROUGH THE DATA MAPPING AND TESTING OF OUR INITIAL ERP MIGRATIONS.

THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS IN TEAMS THAT ARE STORED AND PROCESSED AND PROCESSES THAT ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY SKYRIM WORKS.

AND SO MATCHING UP SOME OF THAT DATA IS REQUIRED, A LOT OF ADDITIONAL PROGRAMING WORK TO TRY TO GET THAT TO MAP OVER CORRECTLY. AND SO MOVING OUR TIMELINE BACK WILL GIVE US AT LEAST TWO ADDITIONAL PRELIMINARY DATA MIGRATIONS AND A CHANCE TO WORK THROUGH SOME MORE OF THAT PROGRAMING AND MORE TESTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE WILL GIVE US A CHANCE FOR AN ADDITIONAL MOCK PAYROLL.

THE WAY PAYROLL IS PROCESSED AND THE WAY PAYROLL AND TIME IS APPROVED IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES.

AND SO THAT ADDITIONAL MOCK PAYROLL WILL GIVE US ANOTHER, BETTER CHANCE TO GO THROUGH AND SEE A GOOD DRY RUN OF EXACTLY HOW OUR FIRST PAYROLL WILL GO LIVE.

AND LOOKING AT OUR TIME CLOCK TESTING AND CUTOVER.

INITIALLY, WE BELIEVED WE'D BE ABLE TO TAKE TO CONTINUE TO USE OUR EXISTING TEAMS TIME CLOCKS AND EXPORT OUR PUNCHES OVER TO SKYWARD AND HAVE SKYWARD PROCESSED THE PAYROLL AND OUR INITIAL TESTING ON THAT.

THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE A POSSIBILITY.

THEY ARE JUST DIFFERENT ENOUGH THAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO PREPROCESS PAYROLL ON TEAMS AND EXPORT OUT SIMPLY A LIST OF PEOPLE AND AMOUNTS TO BE PAID, WHICH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE AUDITED VERY WELL. ON THE SKYWARD SIDE AND WOULD CREATE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL MANUAL WORK PER PAYROLL, AND THAT JUST WASN'T FEASIBLE.

SO MOVING THE TIMELINE DOES GIVE US THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO INSTALL OUR NEW TIME CLOCKS.

SO BEFORE WE'RE LOOKING AT REPLACING GRADUALLY THE TIME CLOCKS ONE BY ONE AND SWITCHING OVER CAMPUSES.

WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO INSTEAD IS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND INSTALL THE TIME SKYWARD TIME BOX THAT WON'T BE USED YET OUTSIDE OF AN INITIAL PILOT GROUP THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME CLOCKING SO WE CAN DO SOME TESTING, AND THEN WHEN WE MAKE THE CUT OVER, WE WILL ONE DAY BE USING TEAMS TIME CLOCKS, THE NEXT DAY WE'LL BE USING SKYWARD TIME CLOCKS, AND IT WILL BE A HARD CUT OVER FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT ALL AT ONCE.

AND THEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE RAN INTO IS BECAUSE THINGS ARE HANDLED SO DIFFERENTLY IN THE PROCESSES, WORK SO DIFFERENTLY IN SKYWARD, THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESS PROCESS CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO AFFECT OUR DEPARTMENTS, THAT ARE GOING TO AFFECT OUR CAMPUSES.

[02:10:01]

ON THE STUDENT SIDE, WE BASICALLY WERE GIVING THEM NEW INSTRUCTIONS, NEW SYSTEMS, NEW WAYS TO LOOK AT THINGS.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN ALSO WITH THE BUSINESS SIDE, WHICH IS LARGER THAN WE INITIALLY EXPECTED, THAT WAS JUST GOING TO BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CHANGE AND TRAINING REQUIRED WITH THE TIME WE HAD FROM WHEN STAFF WOULD COME BACK ON CONTRACT TO WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE STARTING SCHOOL. AND SO THE ADDITIONAL TIME AND DELAYING THE ERP IMPLEMENTATION WILL GIVE US ADDITIONAL TIME FOR TRAINING AND COMMUNICATION TO MAKE SURE ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS GOING TO BE REALLY CRITICAL IN COMMUNICATION IS THE WAY THAT IF YOU MISS A PUNCH IN SKYWARD, FOR INSTANCE, IS BEFORE THERE WERE SOME SAFEGUARDS BUILT INTO TEAMS WHERE IT WOULD KIND OF MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS AND YOU WOULD STILL HAVE EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF.

AND THEN WE WILL CORRECT THAT LATER WITH SKYWARD.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PROVE THINGS CORRECTLY, THAT SOMEBODY MIGHT MISS A PUNCH IN THEIR PAYCHECK, MIGHT BE AFFECTED.

SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE VERY, VERY CLEAR, CONCISE COMMUNICATION AROUND WHAT AN EMPLOYEE NEEDS TO DO, ESPECIALLY THOSE AT LUNCH AND AROUND WHAT THE SUPERVISORS NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE IMPLEMENTED AND APPROVED CORRECTLY.

SO THAT'LL GIVE US ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND COMMUNICATION TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE EVERYBODY'S VERY CLEAR ON WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND WHAT IS CHANGING.

SO OUR UPCOMING DATA MIGRATIONS WE HAVE, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAD AT LEAST TWO ADDITIONAL PRELIMINARY MIGRATIONS.

WE HAVE AN ERP FOR BUSINESS MIGRATION.

THAT'LL BE OUR FOURTH RUN THROUGH THE ERP DATA.

WE'RE ACTUALLY SENDING THAT DATA SET TO SKYWARD THIS WEEK.

THEY WILL WORK ON PROCESSING THAT AND HAVE IT BACK TO US TO TO REVIEW TOWARDS THE END OF SEPTEMBER, A LITTLE OVER A MONTH FROM NOW.

WE'LL HAVE OUR, OUR FINAL ERP BUSINESS LIVE MIGRATION IN OUR ADDITIONAL ERP, WHICH IS OUR WAREHOUSE AND OPEN PURCHASE ORDERS.

THOSE THOSE DATES BEFORE WE DO THAT ARE STILL STILL PENDING.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN OVERALL SUMMARY OF WHAT WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO WE STARTED OUR NEXT GEAR SCHEDULING LIVE IN SKYWARD BACK IN FEBRUARY.

IT WAS THE FIRST COMPONENT THAT WENT LIVE.

AND THEN WE BROUGHT OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT ONLINE AT THE WAS IN TO THE END OF JUNE.

WE BROUGHT THOSE ONLINE IN JULY.

SAME WITH OUR CURRENT YEAR SCHEDULING.

WE FINISHED SUMMER SCHOOL AND AND TEAMS. AND SO EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT ON THE SIDE MINUS THE HISTORICAL DATA MIGRATIONS, WHICH ARE STILL ONGOING, IS NOW LIVE IN SKYWARD.

AND THEN OUR FINANCE, ACCOUNTING, PAYROLL AND OUR HR MIGRATIONS WILL STILL TO BE DETERMINED ON THE EXACT TIMELINE.

BUT THOSE THOSE ARE THE REMAINING PIECES THAT WE'LL HAVE ONCE WE FINISH OUR HISTORICAL MIGRATIONS.

THAT IS THAT IS THE UPDATE AS WE STAND RIGHT NOW.

SO ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS? PACKAGES. TAKE A MOMENT.

THIS HAS BEEN A REALLY HEAVY LIFT.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE OUR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE STAYED VERY SOLUTION FOCUSED.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGES, AND I THINK WE'VE RECOGNIZED THAT.

I ALSO REALLY WANT TO THANK OUR CAMPUS LEADERS AND STAFF BECAUSE AND FAMILIES, REALLY OUR FAMILIES TOO, BECAUSE THIS, YOU KNOW, CHANGE IS HARD AND IT DOES NOT COME WITHOUT CHALLENGES.

AND WHEN THOSE CHALLENGES HAVE COME, THEY'VE BEEN PATIENT AND FLEXIBLE AND WE'VE WORKED THROUGH IT.

AND I DO THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MUCH BETTER SYSTEMS SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO I JUST WANTED I DIDN'T WANT TIME TO PASS WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING ALL THE WORK, THAT IT'S REALLY TAKEN A MASSIVE TEAM.

AND TECHNOLOGY IS A SMALL AND MIGHTY TEAM, BUT THE CAMPUSES AND THE FAMILIES HAVE HAD TO BE A PART OF THAT TEAM.

SO WE ABSOLUTELY WE ABSOLUTELY ASK A LOT OF THE CAMPUSES AND THEY'VE RISEN TO THE CHALLENGE.

AND I WANT TO ALSO RECOGNIZE A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS.

SO TECHNOLOGY WE'VE HELPED TO COORDINATE THIS PROJECT, BUT IT IS BY NO MEANS A TECHNOLOGY PROJECT.

THE WE HAVE A EVERY TWO WEEKS ON BOTH THE ERP SIDE.

WE HAVE WEEKLY PROJECT CALLS.

AND ON THE SIS SIDE, I THINK WE ROUTINELY RUN ABOUT 35 TO 40 PEOPLE FOR ALL SORTS OF DEPARTMENTS.

WE HAVE HEALTH COUNSELING, ACADEMICS FINE ARTS, ATHLETICS.

[02:15:05]

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHO THEY ARE.

THEY PRETTY MUCH HAD TO CROSS PATHS WITH THIS.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN THE ERP SIDE, BUT AGAIN, WE PROBABLY RUN 20 OR 25 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ATTENDING THOSE BIWEEKLY CALLS.

AND SO HE IS HE'S TAKING A TAKING A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING A LOT OF HARD WORK TO GET TO WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE AS WE FINISH OUT THE ORACLE MIGRATIONS.

AND. I THINK YOU ARTICULATED THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS IS IN THE MISMATCHING OF INFORMATION, YOU ALL REALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE BOXING MATCH BETWEEN THE OLD SYSTEM AND THE NEW SYSTEM, AND THAT YOU WEREN'T RELEASING, YOU KNOW, STUDENT INFORMATION TO PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT THEIR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS CAN BE LIKE A MASSIVE VIOLATION ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS SELENA SAID, THANK YOU TO OUR FAMILIES FOR FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE Y'ALL REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE NOT ACCIDENTALLY GIVING THE WRONG STUDENT INFORMATION TO THE WRONG KARY.

SO JUST JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S GOING BACK TO THE THEME OF TRUSTEES BEING THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT.

I THINK WE CERTAINLY HAVE ALL GOTTEN SOME, SOME COMMENTARY ABOUT THIS FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS INTERESTING IS, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN PARENTS SAYING, WELL, THE COUNSELORS CAN HELP ME OR THE THE PEOPLE THAT CAN HELP ME ARE, YOU KNOW, NOT WORKING OUT. IF PEOPLE ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH SKYWARD, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT? SO WE DO HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS, WHICH IS OUT ON THE ON THE IF YOU GO TO THE PLANO ISD WEBSITE AND GO TO THE FAMILY ACCESS THERE IS A ON THE MAIN PAGE, THERE'S A LINK FOR THE HELP.

AND SO PROBABLY THE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS TO DO IS WE HAVE SOME FAQS THERE WHICH ANSWER SOME OF THE COMMON PROBLEMS. THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WOULDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT WOULD BE COVERED THERE.

ONE THAT CAME UP THAT THAT ISN'T REALLY INTUITIVE.

IT'S PARENTS WHO SAID I CAN'T FILL OUT THE HEALTH INFORMATION.

SO IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE FAMILIES ON SKYWARD, WHOEVER IS CLASSIFIED AS A DIVORCE SITUATION, WHOEVER IS CLASSIFIED AS FAMILY, ONE CAN FILL OUT THE HEALTH INFORMATION.

IF IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS FAMILY TWO IS NOT ALLOWED.

THEY CAN FILL OUT THE REST OF THE FORM, BUT THEY'RE DENIED BEING ABLE TO ENTER.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE AN ERROR BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO PUT IN, YOU KNOW.

AND SO ANSWERS TO COMMON THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE SUPPORT EMAIL ADDRESS.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES AN ADDRESS CHANGE PHONE NUMBER CHANGE IF THERE'S, IF THERE'S A QUESTION FOR INSTANCE, WITH THE THE FAMILY ONE FAMILY, TWO.

MEDICAL. IF FAMILY SAYS, HEY, I SHOULD BE FAMILY ONE, BUT I'M NOT.

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE CAMPUS WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS.

AND THAT'S SPELLED OUT IN THE FAQ BECAUSE THAT'S THE RESOLUTION.

BUT I WOULD SAY START THERE.

A LOT OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED, AND AS WE GET MORE OF THEM, WE'RE ADDING MORE AS WE GET THOSE ANSWERS OUT THERE.

AND THEN IF I CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER THERE, WE HAVE THE SUPPORT CONTACT INFORMATION.

TARRAH. I'LL ADD TO THAT IS USUALLY THE BEST PLACE TO START IS GOING TO BE WITH THE CAMPUS.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO TRAIN THE CAMPUSES ON HOW THEY NEED TO SUPPORT THE CUSTOMER.

TYPICALLY, THE ISSUES THAT FAMILIES ARE HAVING NOW WITH THEIR STUDENT INFORMATION LIKE, YOU KNOW, I NEED TO UPDATE SOMETHING WITH MY CHILD INFORMATION, AND THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE BEST PLACE TO START FOR THAT KIND OF STUFF OR FOR PARENTS AT THE CAMPUS.

AND AND WHEN THEY CAN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION, THEY HAVE LIVE DIRECT CHANNEL CONTACT WITH MY DEPARTMENT TO DO THE TRAINING THAT THEY NEED, ESPECIALLY IF WE GO THAT ROUTE. THAT'S GOING TO HELP ME GET THE CAMPUSES UP TO SPEED A LOT FASTER, BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE WHERE THE ERRORS ARE AND WE CAN HELP THEM WORK THROUGH THE ISSUES IN CANADA.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE BEST WAY.

THE SECOND QUESTION IS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE HEALTH INFORMATION MIGRATION.

SO WHEN I WAS ABLE TO LOG IN AND LOOK AT MY PHOTOS, I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING IN HERE. THE REASON THAT I WAS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HEALTH INFORMATION MIGRATION IS THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A MY SON IS DEAF, AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, AND HE'S ON A MAINSTREAM CAMPUS.

AND SO HIS SCHOOL NURSE HAS BEEN SORT OF A HUB OF SOME OF THAT INFORMATION, LIKE UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, WHY HE'S DONE.

YOU KNOW, SPECIAL SPECIAL INFORMATION, LIKE IF HIS HEAD IS DIFFERENT, HE'S GOT IMPLANTS.

[02:20:05]

SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL YEARS OF INFORMATION PUT IN THERE.

AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, NONE OF IT WAS THERE.

AND SO IF WE HAVE CHILDREN WITH HEALTH INFORMATION THAT ALL OF THAT HEALTH INFORMATION WAS IN THE PRIOR SYSTEM, IT SOUNDS LIKE NONE OF IT TRANSFERRED OVER.

AND EITHER IT'S ON THE CAMPUS NURSE TO PHYSICALLY TRANSFER THAT OVER OR FOR THE PARENTS TO UPDATES LIKE STUFF, DOCUMENTATION, OTHER STUFF THAT WAS IN THE PRIOR SYSTEM. I'M JUST AS A PARENT OF A CHILD WITH A DISABILITY THAT CAN BE VERY, VERY CONCERNED THAT THE STUFF THAT TRANSFERRED FROM WHAT IT WAS, WHERE I COULD SEE WAS JUST VACCINATIONS AND OFFICER DATES AND INFORMATION ABOUT MY SON'S MEDICAL CONDITION IN THAT YEAR.

SO THE DATA THAT WAS MIGRATED FOR THE HEALTH AND THE HEALTH INFORMATION IS GOING TO BE THE OFFICE VISITS, THE VACCINATIONS, THE THINGS THAT WERE PRETTY STANDARD FIELDS THAT WE PULLED FROM THE WHAT I RECOMMEND FOR PARENTS IS TO GET IN AND FILL OUT THAT RETURNING REGISTRATION FORM AND ANY OF THE HEALTH INFORMATION THAT'S ENTERED ON THAT FORM WHEN IT'S APPROVED AUTOMATICALLY CREATES THE FLAG WITHIN SKYWARD THAT SHOWS THAT THERE'S A HEALTH CONDITION, THERE'S AN ENLARGEMENT THAT TEACHERS AND STAFF CAN BE AWARE OF.

THAT DATA DOES STILL EXIST IN TEAMS, THAT PRIOR INFORMATION.

SO THE NURSES DO STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

BUT SOME OF THAT STUFF IS MORE SPECIFIC TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

THERE'S JUST NOT A WAY TO MASS MIGRATE THAT YOU KNOW, AT SCALE ACROSS.

SO IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS GET IN AND FILL OUT THE MEDICAL INFORMATION.

I DID THAT, AND IT'S STILL LIKE WHEN I LOOKED AT HIS HEALTH INFORMATION, ALL IT HAD WAS DIRECTIONS.

AND I JUST IT HAS ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT KIDS THAT HAVE HEALTH CONDITIONS.

AND IT'S THAT THE NURSES STILL HAVE ACCESS TO TEENS AND THEY STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION.

AND ENSURING THAT, YOU KNOW, CHRONIC CONDITIONS OR, YOU KNOW, CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT HASN'T CHANGED, ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE.

IT'S UPDATED IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT PUT ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON OUR PARENTS OR AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON OUR NURSES.

HE'S. A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME, AND I BELIEVE SOME OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PARENT VIEW ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING THAT WHAT THE NURSES SEE ON THEIR SIDE.

BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY FOLLOW UP WITH OUR DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SEE IT NOW.

SO I PROVIDED NEW DOCUMENTATION AND I CAN SEE THAT THE SCORES UPDATED THAT AND I CAN SEE WHERE SHE UPDATED IS, YOU KNOW, SHE SAYS AND UPDATED LAST WEEK.

BUT I GUESS I'M I'M JUST WORRIED, LIKE IF WE HAVE KIDS THAT ARE DIABETIC AND.

IF THAT STUFF DIDN'T HAVE THAT INFO FOR, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE A KID WITH A DISORDER AND BACK TO SCHOOL IS MORE RIGHT, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING EVERYTHING RIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO TALK TO FOUR DIFFERENT TEACHERS ABOUT IF THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT RECEIVERS FLASH THIS WAY, THIS IS WHAT IT NEEDS, RIGHT? AND EVEN FOR OUR STAFF AT DAVIS, ALL OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS WORK DIFFERENTLY.

AND PROGRAMS AND AUDIOLOGISTS HAVE DIFFERENT PREFERENCES AND KIDS HAVE DIFFERENT PREFERENCES.

RIGHT. AND SO IT JUST LIKE I CAN SEE WHERE THE NURSE HAS GONE NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE, BUT LIKE PRIOR AUDIOGRAMS AND PRIOR DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS PROVIDED, IT JUST TARRAH.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL LOOK AT AS WE SO THIS NEXT PHASE IS WHAT GREG IS TALKING ABOUT, IS GOING BACK NON HISTORICAL DATA OVER.

WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS TO PULL THAT DATA OVER, AND THEN EVEN DATA THAT WE DON'T PULL DIRECTLY INTO SKYWARD, WE'RE STILL NOT DISCARDING THAT INFORMATION. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN DATA WAREHOUSE THAT INFORMATION.

WE STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THESE THINGS.

ONCE THIS COMPLETE, THIS WHOLE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

SO NONE OF THAT DATA THAT WE'VE OBTAINED OR STORED IN FRONTLINE GOING BACK HOWEVER MANY YEARS, WE'RE STILL GOING TO HOLD ON TO THAT INFORMATION.

AND THAT INFORMATION WILL EITHER BE BROUGHT INTO SKYWARD OR INTO SOME TYPE OF DATA WAREHOUSE.

RIGHT. SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE THE MEDICAL PIECES OF IT PLAY INTO THIS HISTORICAL THAT WE'RE

[02:25:01]

BUT EVEN IF IT'S NOT HOW WE DATA WAREHOUSES MAKE THIS WORK, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A GOOD POINT TO BRING FORWARD SOMETHING THAT WE GO BACK AND RESEARCH. ALL RIGHT.

SO. WERE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT AND ALL THE WORK ON THIS CHALLENGE I KNOW.

SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ADJOURNMENT ITEM EIGHT.

IF THERE IS NO FURTHER BUSINESS.

MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.
