SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE SHIFT IN OUR ORDER.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM TWO, WHICH IS THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

IS THAT OKAY, MITCHELL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WE'LL GRAB YOU IN A MINUTE FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

AND SO WE HAVE ANOTHER RECOGNITION THIS EVENING.

[3. RECOGNITIONS]

GLENDA FREEMAN, OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT FOR LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONS, WILL LEAD THE NEXT RECOGNITION FOR US.

DR. FREEMAN. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, FOR OUR FIRST RECOGNITION THIS EVENING.

I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE COLIN MCGRANE, OUR K-12 VISUAL ARTS COORDINATOR, TO THE PODIUM.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME ON HERE? ALL RIGHT. I CAN ALSO PROJECT I THINK SO.

HERE WE ARE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOARD ADMINISTRATION.

THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE.

AS YOU SAID, I'M COLIN MCGRANE.

I'M THE VISUAL ARTS COORDINATOR FOR PLANO ISD, AND I'VE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT FOR A LONG TIME, AND THOSE WHO KNOW ME KNOW THAT ART THAT IS MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE.

ART THAT IS REAL WORLD APPLICATION IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO CONTINUE TO BRING TO OUR STUDENTS HERE IN PLANO ISD, AND FOR MANY YEARS, PLANO ISD HAS BEEN A SUPPORTER IN THIS BY CREATING THE KINDNESS CARD CONTEST.

AND IN THIS CONTEST, OUR STUDENTS GET TO WORK AS REAL WORLD DESIGNERS, DESIGNING IMAGES THAT GO ONTO CARDS INTO MANY FIELDS SUCH AS ILLUSTRATION AND GRAPHIC DESIGN.

AND I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW, IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, IT IS THAT PLAY OF TEXT AND WORDS, MUCH LIKE WE SEE ON THE SCREEN UP HERE.

SOMEBODY DESIGNED THE IMAGE AND HOW THE WORDS FIT IN IT AND ALL IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING.

IT ALL COMES TOGETHER.

AND SO OUR STUDENTS GETTING THIS OPPORTUNITY, STARTING AT KINDERGARTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH, IS SO IMPORTANT TO WORK IN TODAY'S 21ST CENTURY SOCIETY FOR ARTS.

AND THERE IS SOMETHING FUN I'D LIKE TO SHARE ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN.

SO IN COMMUNICATION DESIGN IN COLLEGE MYSELF, I LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT COLORS AND I'M GOING TO ASK THE ROOM.

SO THERE ARE TWO COLORS THAT ARE ALMOST IN EVERY FAST FOOD CHAIN OUT THERE.

[00:05:06]

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU HUNGRY.

WHAT TWO COLORS ARE THEY? THINK TO YOURSELF.

RED AND YELLOW.

YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH.

YOU GOT ONE, RIGHT? YEAH. YOU GOT 100 FOR TODAY.

SO, RED AND YELLOW THEY DO.

AND SO WHEN YOU GUYS WHEN YOU LEAVE TONIGHT.

OKAY. AND YOU GO BACK HOME AND YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU SEE MCDONALD'S, YOU SEE MANY.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GETTING ANY CREDIT FOR SAYING THEIR NAME OUT LOUD, BUT YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS, THIS RED AND YELLOW OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND YOU GO, OH, THEY GOT ME.

NOW I REALIZE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY GRAPHIC DESIGNERS WHO PURPOSELY PUT THOSE COLORS IN THERE.

WELL, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT OUR PLANO ISD GRAPHIC DESIGNERS.

AND SO WE DID HAVE OUR CARD CONTEST.

THEY GOT TO HAVE THAT REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE.

AND WHAT THEY DID IS THEY CREATED SOMETHING SPECIAL.

THEY CREATED AN IMAGE WITH TEXT THAT ALSO HAS A MESSAGE OF KINDNESS.

SO LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF OUR WINNERS.

WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, I'D LIKE FOR YOU GUYS TO COME UP TO THE FRONT IF WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING THE PACKAGES.

AT THAT TIME, OUR K-2 DIVISION WINNER IS ADVAITHA PRASANNA FROM WELLS ELEMENTARY.

JOIN ME IN GIVING OUR APPLAUSE.

THIS WAY HON. SO ADVAITHA IS PRESENTED WITH A CERTIFICATE AND ALSO A CHECK FROM THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

APPLAUSE FROM US.

AND REALLY A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT HERE TODAY THEIR CARDS WILL BE PRINTED FOR OUR ADMIN AND FOR OUR BOARD TO USE AS THEY SEND OUT WORDS OF KINDNESS TO PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS.

I'M GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

OUR 3-5 DIVISION WINNER IS AANYA NANDA.

LET ME GO OVER THERE.

AND PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO ENJOY THE IMAGES ON THE SCREEN.

HER IDEA OF TAKING KINDNESS NOT JUST FOR HUMAN, BUT USING THE BEE.

THE SUCCESSFUL HIVE IS BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION WINNER, A NINTH GRADE, WHICH I THINK IS SPECIAL.

KEEP IN MIND THAT'S NINTH THROUGH 12TH.

BUT A NINTH GRADER OUT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE WON THIS AND THAT IS MAIA NEILSEN FROM MACMILLAN HIGH SCHOOL.

MAIA. CONGRATULATIONS.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

OH, THIS IS THE ONE.

CONGRATULATIONS, MAIA.

AND OUR FINAL WINNER IS FROM OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL DIVISION, BUT ALSO OUR OVERALL DISTRICT WINNER WITH THE HAPPY DANCE.

ARIAM AND MARIAM FROM CARPENTER MIDDLE SCHOOL.

MR. MCGRANE. DO YOU WANT TO JUMP IN THAT PHOTO? I WOULD LOVE TO. I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD ASK, I APPRECIATE THAT.

YES. I WOULD.

ALL.

RIGHT. THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH FOR.

ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT LEAD INTO THE RECOGNITION AND WONDERFUL PRESENTATION BY ALL THE STUDENTS.

[00:10:05]

DR. FREEMAN, I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ON PAGE NINE, THE NEXT RECOGNITION.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, I'M VERY PLEASED TO INVITE JERRY DUNCAN, OUR PLANO ISD PTA COUNCIL PRESIDENT, TO LEAD THE NEXT RECOGNITION FOR US. COME ON.

GOOD EVENING, DR.

WILLIAMS, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, TRUSTEES AND CABINET.

I'M JERRY DUNCAN, THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL OF PTAS.

WITH ME, I HAVE OUR FIRST VP, JULIA WIBLIN, AND OUR VP OF MEMBERSHIP.

AMY ALEXANDER.

SO TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND AS TO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TONIGHT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NATIONAL, THE NATIONAL PTA SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE PROGRAM.

THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT IS A PLATFORM ON WHICH PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN LOCAL PTAS AND SCHOOLS CAN BE STRENGTHENED, ENRICHING THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND OVERALL WELL-BEING FOR ALL STUDENTS.

BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, PTA AND CAMPUS LEADERS MAKE A YEARLONG COMMITMENT TO IDENTIFY KEY AREAS OF FOCUS AND IMPLEMENT AN ACTION PLAN FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT BASED ON NATIONAL PTA, NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR FAMILY, SCHOOL, FAMILY, AND SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS.

AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THE PARTICIPATING PTAS AND CAMPUSES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH NATIONAL PTA WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DID AND DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACT THEY MADE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

THUS EARNING THE DESIGNATION OF SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE.

ONCE EARNED, THE DESIGNATION IS FOR TWO YEARS, AND FOR THE 2000 OR 2023 TO 2025 TERM, PLANO ISD HAD THREE OF THE 319 PTAS ACROSS THE NATION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SCHOOLS IN EUROPE THAT EARNED THIS DESIGNATION.

SO FOR OUR FIRST RECOGNITION TONIGHT, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME MITCHELL ELEMENTARY PTA.

COME ON UP. COME.

GO AHEAD. WE'RE GOING TO DO PICTURES.

JUST.

AND THEN OUR SECOND PTA THAT HAS EARNED THIS RECOGNITION FOR 2023 TO 25 IS CARPENTER MIDDLE SCHOOL PTA.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE JASPER HIGH SCHOOL PTSA THAT HAS EARNED THE 2023 TO 25 NATIONAL SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE DESIGNATION.

CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN TO THESE THREE TAS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, JERI.

AND LADIES, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THOSE TAS.

I KNOW THAT TAKES A LOT OF VOLUNTEER TIME TO EARN THAT.

[00:15:03]

AND DR. TERESA WILLIAMS, OUR SUPERINTENDENT, WILL LEAD THIS RECOGNITION.

DR. WILLIAMS, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AS WE SHARED LAST MONTH, WE INTRODUCED A NEW AWARD CALLED OUR PLANO ISD PROUD AWARD.

AND THIS GOES TO STAFF MEMBERS WHO BRING OUR DISTRICT'S VISION TO LIFE IN THE WORK THAT THEY DO EACH AND EVERY DAY. AND IT REALLY RECOGNIZES STUDENTS, SORRY, STAFF MEMBERS WHO EMBODY OUR LEADERSHIP PROFILE AND WHAT IT TAKES AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, DEDICATED TO CARING, EMPOWERED BY LEARNING.

AND OF COURSE, PLANO ISD.

PROUD. SUPERVISORS FROM ACROSS THE DISTRICT ARE INVITED TO NOMINATE TEAM MEMBERS FOR THIS MONTHLY RECOGNITION.

AND TONIGHT, WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HONORING THREE OUTSTANDING MEMBERS OF OUR PLANO ISD FAMILY.

AND WHILE IT'S ALWAYS CHALLENGING TO SELECT GO THROUGH ALL OF THE NOMINATIONS, WE DO HAVE THREE TONIGHT THAT REALLY CONTRIBUTE AND REALLY STOOD OUT FOR THE TEAM THAT SELECTED OUR WINNERS.

AND SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I ASK THAT.

OH, YOU'RE ALREADY THERE.

WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, IF YOU'LL PLEASE COME UP AND RECEIVE YOUR RECOGNITION, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I'M ALSO GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EACH STAFF MEMBER AS, AS THEIR NAMES ARE CALLED.

SO TONIGHT'S FIRST RECIPIENT IS AMANDA LEMONS.

SHE IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT AND SAFETY AND SECURITY.

SHE WAS NOMINATED BY THE CHIEF OF SAFETY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS, KEVIN KEATING.

AND KEVIN, YOU CAN ALSO COME UP TO HAVE A PHOTO AS WELL.

AMANDA'S EXCEPTIONAL WORK ETHIC IS CREATED FOR SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING HER DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS.

SHE'S MADE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR SCHOOL MARSHAL PROGRAM AND HAS COORDINATED THE EXTENSIVE TRAINING THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE DISTRICT SCHOOL FOR EACH DISTRICT SCHOOL MARSHAL.

HER ABILITY TO MANAGE COMPLEX PROJECTS, AND HER DEDICATION TO ENHANCING OUR DISTRICT'S SAFETY MAKES HER AN INCREDIBLE TEAM MEMBER IN OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY DEPARTMENT. SO LET'S GIVE AMANDA A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

ALL RIGHT. IF YOU'LL JUST HANG TIGHT FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT WHILE WE GET THROUGH THE NEXT.

OUR NEXT RECIPIENT IS HANNAH MURPHY.

MURPHY. AND I APOLOGIZE IF I DID NOT SAY THAT.

CORRECT. SO, HANNAH, IF YOU'LL COME ON UP.

HANNAH WAS NOMINATED BY HEAD START DIRECTOR DARA VILLALPANDO.

AND HANNAH PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS BY CLOSELY WORK, BY WORKING WITH THEM CLOSELY IN THE COUNSELING TEAM TO BUILD A STRONG AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS, TO MONITOR EACH CHILD'S NEED.

AND HER CREATIVE APPROACH TO FOSTERING A WELCOMING AND POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN OUR HEAD START PROGRAM.

SHE'S KNOWN FOR CREATING A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS FEEL SAFE AND CONNECTED AND READY TO LEARN.

LET'S GIVE HANNAH ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

AND OUR FINAL WINNER THIS EVENING IS BLANCA SOLARES.

TITLE ONE TEACHER AT MENDENHALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

BLANCA WAS NOMINATED BY HER PRINCIPAL, JANET PRINCE, AND SHE SERVES AS A MENTOR TO NEW TEACHERS.

SHE'S AN ADVOCATE FOR HER 504 STUDENTS.

HER LEADERSHIP AND DATA DRIVEN INSTRUCTION, AND HER GUIDANCE DURING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES HAS IS CREDITED FOR ELEVATING THE QUALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AT HER CAMPUS. SHE CONSISTENTLY SUPPORTS BOTH STUDENTS AND STAFF, EXEMPLIFYING THE SPIRIT OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT THAT WE VALUE HERE IN PLANO ISD.

LET'S GIVE BLANCA ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

WE CONGRATULATE TONIGHT'S PLANO ISD PROUD AWARD WINNERS AND INVITE ANY FAMILY MEMBERS OR SPECIAL GUESTS WHO DID NOT COME UP FOR PICTURES TO PLEASE STAND AND BE RECOGNIZED IN SUPPORT OF OUR THREE HONOREES THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF ENTHUSIASM, I LOVE IT.

[00:20:01]

AND LET'S SEE, DR.

WILLIAMS, DO I HAVE THE WRONG PAGE UP? I'M SO SORRY.

PAGE FIVE. I'M GOOD. OKAY, SO OUR SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

TERESA WILLIAMS, WILL INTRODUCE THIS RECOGNITION DR.

WILLIAMS. ALL RIGHT.

HERE WE GO. SO WE ARE SO PROUD AND EXCITED TO INTRODUCE THIS YEAR'S SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY GROUP.

AND AS YOU KNOW, WE SEEK A LOT OF INPUT AND FEEDBACK IN OUR DISTRICT, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH LISTENING ROUNDS OR CAMPUS VISITS.

WE HAVE A TEACHER LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE.

AND ONE OTHER WAY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OUR STUDENT VOICE IN OUR DECISION MAKING.

AND SO THIS GROUP HAS BECOME AN INVALUABLE GROUP THAT WE SEEK A LOT OF INPUT AND FEEDBACK FROM.

AND WE ALWAYS NOT ONLY ARE THEY A GREAT GROUP, FOR ME, I WOULD SAY THIS IS A CABINET LEADERSHIP TEAM FEEDBACK GROUP, BECAUSE CABINET IS ALSO INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AND ENGAGE.

WE STARTED OUT THE YEAR WITH ASKING LIKE, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT? WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO COVER THIS YEAR THROUGH OUR ADVISORY PROGRAM? AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE STARTED TO BUILD AND DEVELOP EACH OF OUR SESSIONS, WE MEET ONCE A MONTH.

AND IT'S USUALLY AN HOUR, MAYBE AN HOUR AND FIVE MINUTES, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE GO A LITTLE OVER.

BUT THE TIME GOES BY REALLY FAST.

HONESTLY, WE COULD PROBABLY MEET MORE OFTEN AND HAVE MORE THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ONLY ONCE A MONTH, AND SO.

BUT WE REALLY VALUE THE INPUT.

THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE.

AND SO I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THIS ELITE GROUP OF JUNIORS AND SENIORS.

EACH YEAR WE START WITH A NEW CLASS OF, OF JUNIORS.

AND WE REALLY LIKE THE ROTATION BECAUSE IT GIVES US TWO YEARS TO SPEND WITH THESE STUDENTS.

AND WE REALLY GET TO KNOW THEM.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS SAD WHEN OUR SENIORS GRADUATE, SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE THEM GRADUATE AND MOVE ON.

BUT WE WE CERTAINLY MISS THEM ONCE THEY LEAVE US.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST START WITH PLANO EAST.

AND SO WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, IF YOU'LL PLEASE COME UP AND IF YOU'LL JUST KIND OF STAND AND FACE THE AUDIENCE.

AND AFTER WE'VE CALLED EVERYBODY'S NAME, AND WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW YOU TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF, TALK ABOUT YOUR MAJOR AND WHERE YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GO OR WHERE YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GOING BECAUSE SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE JUNIORS.

AND THEN WE'LL DO A GROUP PHOTO.

ALL RIGHT. SO FIRST FROM PLANO EAST WE HAVE WESLEY DURDEN.

EVELYN POWELL.

MILES. WILLIAM.

DENNIS. AND THEN ABILENE.

RANDALL RANDHAWA AND I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT.

HOW I PRONOUNCE THAT, SO I APOLOGIZE.

NEVADA JONES.

YASH KULKARNI.

GRANT GONZALEZ.

AND MADISON MOSSBERGER.

FROM PLANO WEST ARIANA KELLEHER.

THE TIME THAT THEY SPEND WITH US.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR OUR PRINCIPALS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOMINATED BY THEIR PRINCIPALS TO SERVE ON THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

AND I WELCOME ANYBODY ON MY TEAM THAT WANTS TO PROVIDE ANY REMARKS ABOUT OUR STUDENTS.

I KNOW THAT THAT THEY'RE DEFINITELY A GROUP THAT WE REALLY VALUE AND CHERISH.

YEAH. SUPERINTENDENT.

DR. WILLIAMS, WHILE YOU'RE WALKING OVER THERE, I'VE SAID THIS TO THIS GROUP OF STUDENTS, BUT I'LL.

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN IN PUBLIC.

THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT.

EVERY MONTH WHEN WE GET TO COME TOGETHER WITH THEM AND JUST HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS AND LET THEM SHARE WHAT THEY WANT TO SHARE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON CAMPUS.

[00:25:07]

BUT THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALWAYS USING YOUR LUNCH TIME TO COME OVER AND MEET WITH US ADULTS.

WELL, I PERSONALLY KNOW HOW HARD WORKING THESE STUDENTS ARE.

I MEAN, THE THING IS THAT THEY HAVE TO SCHEDULE THEIR.

THERE'S ONE MORE COMING.

MY DAUGHTER, EVELYN POWELL.

BUT THIS GROUP HAVE TO SCHEDULE THEIR MONDAYS WHEN THEY COME HERE ONCE A MONTH AND YOU KNOW, DISCUSS TOPICS ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND THEN WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THEIR SCHOOLS, THEY HAVE TO ADVOCATE AND LEND THEIR VOICES TO WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED FROM THEIR MEETINGS.

SO THANK YOU, STUDENTS, FOR WHAT YOU DO.

AND IF THERE ARE OTHER PARENTS THAT WANT TO COME FORWARD AND TAKE A PHOTO, PLEASE, PLEASE DO THAT.

Y'ALL WANT TO STAY THERE FOR JUST A MOMENT? YOU GOT TO HAVE YOUR BRAGGING RIGHTS, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GIVE THEM ONE LAST ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE SO PROUD TO RECOGNIZE ALL THESE AMAZING INDIVIDUALS IN.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

YES, I MISSED A PART. WE GOT A LITTLE DISCOMBOBULATED.

Y'ALL COME BACK UP. I THINK WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PASS A MICROPHONE.

MY MISTAKE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OUT.

SO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US MAJOR FUTURE SCHOOL WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN STUDYING IN, AND TELL US WHAT GRADE YOU'RE IN RIGHT NOW, WHAT SCHOOL YOU'RE ATTENDING.

SO. AND WHAT YOUR, YOU KNOW, FUTURE PLANS ARE.

IF Y'ALL WANT TO TURN AROUND AND TELL BEFORE WE DO THIS, BECAUSE THE CURRENT SCHOOL OR THE SCHOOL, I WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL, NAME SCHOOL AND WHAT COMES AFTER THAT? HELLO, MY NAME IS ANTONIO KLEIN.

[00:35:25]

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.

[4. PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION - AGENDA ITEMS ONLY]

NON AGENDA COMMENTS WILL BE HEARD AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

DR. FREEMAN, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING? PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS. ALL RIGHT.

IN ORDER FOR THE BOARD TO HOLD THIS MEETING IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER, THE PUBLIC WILL ABIDE BY THE RULES AND POLICY BED LOCAL INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATE BY SIGNING UP ONLINE IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SIGN UP INSTRUCTIONS ON THE POSTED AGENDA.

IF A SPEAKER IS NOT PRESENT WHEN CALLED UPON, THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WILL BE FORWARDED.

FORFEITED. FAILURE TO LIST THE AGENDA ITEMS BEING ADDRESSED WILL RESULT IN THE PRESUMPTION THAT YOU ARE SPEAKING ON A NON AGENDA ITEM, WHICH WILL BE HEARD AT THE END OF THIS MEETING.

SPEAKERS WHO FAIL TO ADHERE TO THE TOPIC THEY LISTED UPON THEIR SIGN UP ARE OUT OF ORDER AND WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE PODIUM.

PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, SECTION 551.074 PUBLIC COMMENT.

SESSION WILL NOT BE USED TO VOICE A COMPLAINT INVOLVING THE NAMING OF SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE NAME OF DISTRICT EMPLOYEES OR STUDENTS.

ADDITIONALLY, NO INFORMATION THAT MAY BE REASONABLY LINKED TO AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON MAY BE SHARED DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT.

SPEAKERS WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES EACH.

IF WE HAVE TO STOP FOR A DISRUPTION OF THE MEETING, THE CLOCK WILL BE STOPPED AND THE TIME REMAINING WILL BE REINSTATED ONCE ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED.

DR. FREEMAN, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL OUR FIRST SPEAKER TO THE PODIUM? OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MEGAN VECCHIO, PLANO ISD PARENT AND RESIDENT.

MISS VECCHIO, WOULD YOU LIKE A ONE MINUTE WARNING? SURE. THAT'D BE GREAT. THANK YOU.

I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE CORRECTION OF THE SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING MINUTES.

I ATTENDED THIS MEETING.

I SPOKE JUST BEFORE 10:30 P.M.

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR HOURS TO MAKE NON-AGENDA COMMENTS.

AT THE END OF THE MEETINGS, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE APPROVED MINUTES CENSORED MY COMMENTS FROM THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.

THE MEETING STATED THAT I WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN CALLED UPON TO SPEAK.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS LIE.

MY COMMENTS ARE IN THE OFFICIAL AUDIO RECORDED FROM THE MEETING THAT NIGHT.

THE FACT THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THESE MINUTES IS APPALLING.

THE BOARD WAS EITHER AWARE OF THIS CENSORSHIP AND APPROVED IT ANYWAY, OR THIS BOARD WAS CAUGHT APPROVING DOCUMENTS THAT IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY READ.

EITHER OPTION IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD BY NANCY HUMPHREY THAT IT IS PLANO ISD STAFF WHO PREPARE THE MINUTES.

BUT MY QUESTION ABOUT WHO SPECIFICALLY PREPARES THE MINUTES HAS GONE UNANSWERED.

I'VE ASKED THE BOARD THIS QUESTION.

NONE OF THEM HAVE RESPONDED.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO SPECIFICALLY PREPARED THESE MINUTES.

THIS CENSORSHIP WASN'T AN ERROR.

IT WAS INTENTIONALLY WRITTEN THIS WAY INTO THE RECORD BY DISTRICT STAFF.

THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF IT WAS INTENTIONALLY DONE, OR IT WAS NEGLIGENCE.

AND AGAIN, IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS APPROVED WITH A70 VOTE.

IT IS THE BOARD'S JOB TO REPRESENT PARENTS, NOT TO HELP THE DISTRICT CENSOR US.

IT IS THE BOARD'S JOB TO REPRESENT PARENTS, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, NOT TO SIMPLY APPROVE ANYTHING THE DISTRICT REQUESTS WITH A70 VOTE.

THE DISTRICT WORKS OVERTIME TO DENY PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS A VOICE IN THIS DISTRICT.

ALL SOCIAL MEDIA IS SHUT DOWN TO COMMENTS.

WE CAN'T MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS UNLESS WE WAIT ALL NIGHT.

ALL OF YOU ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT US, BUT YOU LET THE DISTRICT GET AWAY WITH ALL OF THIS.

[00:40:03]

PARENTS PAY FOR THIS DISTRICT.

IT DOESN'T EXIST WITHOUT THE ENROLLMENT OF OUR CHILDREN.

AND WE SHOULD BE VIEWED AS ITS CLIENTS.

IF DISTRICTS AND PARENTS.

IF PARENTS AND STUDENTS AREN'T THE CLIENTS OF THE DISTRICT THAN WHO IS.

THE DISTRICT BELONGS TO ITS COMMUNITY.

IT DOES NOT BELONG TO GOOGLE.

EDGENUITY, SKYWARD OR TOYOTA.

THE DISTRICT SHOULD SERVE ITS COMMUNITY ONE MINUTE, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE FAMILIES AND THEIR STUDENTS AWAY AND TEACHERS AWAY WITH THIS BEHAVIOR.

THE DISTRICT HAS PUT THE BOARD IN A HORRIBLE POSITION.

THE DISTRICT, A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, CENSORED A PARENT.

THE DISTRICT ASKED THE BOARD TO APPROVE AND CORRECT MINUTES, AND THE BOARD APPROVED THEM.

THIS REFLECTS POORLY ON THE BOARD, ESPECIALLY IN AN ELECTION YEAR.

WHAT'S GONE ON HERE SHOULD UPSET THE BOARD, AND THE BOARD SHOULD HOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE.

IF THE BOARD WILL NOT DO THIS, THEN THE VOTERS SHOULD HOLD THE BOARD ACCOUNTABLE.

IN MAY. I WILL NOT BE SILENCED OR CENSORED.

I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED OR RETALIATED AGAINST.

I'M OLD PLANO FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS ARE NAMED AFTER MY FAMILY MEMBERS, AND THE WAY THAT YOU TREAT YOUR DISTRICT PARENTS IS APPALLING.

AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT.

AND I WON'T BE RUN OFF AND I WON'T BE CENSORED.

I HAVE PACKETS OF EVIDENCE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD, SO IF I COULD BRING THAT UP, I'M FINISHED.

I BELIEVE MISS RYAN CAN GRAB THOSE FOR YOU AND TAKE THEM.

THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PAMELA ZIEGLER PETTY.

PLANO ISD RESIDENT.

WOULD YOU LIKE A ONE MINUTE WARNING? OKAY. GREETINGS, DISTINGUISHED BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I AM PAMELA ZIEGLER PETTY.

AND ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY OF DR.

MERLE HIGHTOWER, WE WANT TO EXTEND OUR SINCERE APPRECIATION AND THANKFULNESS OF YOUR CONSIDERATION TO EXTEND A RESOLUTION TO HONOR HER LIFE AND LEGACY IN PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SHE EMBARKED ON A QUEST TO CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE FOR CHILDREN THROUGH LIVED AND SHARED EXPERIENCES AS A TEACHER, COUNSELOR, AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATE.

WE ARE HUMBLED AND APPRECIATIVE FOR THE IMPACT MANY OF YOU MADE IN HER LIFE AND OURS.

HER DAUGHTER, BESSIE, IS UNABLE TO BE WITH US THIS EVENING, BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT SHE SENDS HER APPRECIATION FOR ALL THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DONE TO EMBRACE THE FAMILY AND YOUR CONTINUED KINDNESS.

WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CONSIDERATION AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL.

OUR LAST SPEAKER IS MICHAEL CONWAY, PLANO ISD, PLANO ISD, NONRESIDENT.

WOULD YOU LIKE A ONE MINUTE WARNING? NO. I'M GOOD. OKAY.

GOOD EVENING. BOARD.

AS WAS SPOKEN EARLIER, YOU APPROVED MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH BY ADMITTING ONE PERSON IN PARTICULAR, WHICH CENSORSHIP DOES COME TO MIND QUITE A BIT. IT'S VERY PECULIAR FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR NON-AGENDA.

ALSO MAKING PEOPLE STAY TILL NEARLY MIDNIGHT TO SPEAK ON NON-AGENDA.

YOU SHUT DOWN THE VIDEO WHEN WE SPEAK AT THE OLD BUILDING.

THE CAMERA ONLY SHOWED US FROM THE BACK.

IRONICALLY, THAT HAPPENED AFTER OCTOBER WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL THAT DOES EXIST.

EVEN THOUGH YOU LIKE TO SAY NOT NOW THAT POLLED.

WELL, HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU THE LIBRARY ONE DAY? NOW THE PODIUM IS 60FT AWAY, AS OPPOSED TO MAYBE FIVE FEET.

IT USED TO BE UP THERE.

WELL, THE OLD BUILDING WAS LIKE FIVE FEET FROM Y'ALL.

SO, I GOT TO ASK, WHAT ARE Y'ALL AFRAID OF? ARE YOU AFRAID TO LEARN OF CHILD TRAFFICKING? ARE YOU AFRAID TO LEARN? THE MOST RECENT REPORT FROM TEA SHOWS THAT IN TEXAS, A NEW CASE FOR INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP OR SEXUAL ASSAULT BETWEEN A TEACHER AND A CHILD HAS TAKEN PLACE EACH HOUR DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

THAT'S BASED ON THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS EQUALS, AT MINIMUM, 5000 CASES.

THAT COMES FROM THE TEA DIRECT.

WE GOT THE FACTS TO PROVE TO BACK IT UP, TOO.

WE'RE ONLY SEEKING TO BRING AWARENESS OF DIFFERENT ITEMS. SO, IT'S ON THE RECORD, THUS HELP YOU DO A BETTER JOB AT PROTECTING CHILDREN SINCE YOU TOOK THAT OATH.

COME ON GUYS, STOP THE CENSORSHIP.

WORK WITH US.

DON'T WORK AGAINST US.

BECAUSE IF THIS CONTINUES, WE CONTINUE.

ALL RIGHT. I THINK THAT CONCLUDES THE SPEAKERS.

OPEN MEETINGS ACT 551.074 PERMITS THE BOARD TO EITHER DIRECT INDIVIDUALS TO POLICY OR TO CORRECT A

[00:45:05]

AND SO I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT THE MINUTES THAT WERE WRITTEN IN SEPTEMBER WERE ABSOLUTELY A MISTAKE.

AND THE BOARD PROBABLY GOT TO THE LAST PAGE OF THE MINUTES AND JUST SAW THE NAMES.

I'M JUST SAYING IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE.

IF WE DIDN'T SEE ALL OF THAT TEXT, WE APOLOGIZE.

I'VE EMAILED YOU, MISS VECCHIO.

I APOLOGIZED ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT INTENTIONAL CENSORSHIP.

AND I THINK THAT WE ALSO I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THE BOARD.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME TO A PUBLIC MEETING AND TALK TO THE BOARD.

YOU CAN EMAIL US OR PHONE CALL US.

IN FACT, I THINK I'VE TALKED TO YOU ON THE PHONE BEFORE, SO THAT'S ANOTHER CLARIFICATION.

BUT ONE FINAL POINT IS IT'S AN INTERESTING FACT.

IN 2010, WHEN I WAS ELECTED TO THE BOARD, I BROUGHT FORWARD TO MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCLUDE PUBLIC INPUT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. THE BOARD DID NOT TAKE PUBLIC INPUT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS UNTIL THAT YEAR, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING I WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT.

I WANTED OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE A VOICE, AND SO THAT'S WHY WE DO THAT.

IT IS NOT REQUIRED IN OPEN MEETINGS ACT THAT WE TAKE IT.

WE DO ADD IT AS A COURTESY, AND WE DO IT AT THE END OF OUR BUSINESS MEETING, BECAUSE WE HAVE BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF AND AGENDAS TO, TO FOLLOW.

AND SOMETIMES OUR MEETINGS GO LATE.

NONE OF US WANT TO STAY LATE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO COVER, BUT I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THOSE MISSTATEMENTS OF FACT AS I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO.

WE WILL MOVE TO. YOU MAY NOT.

YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER, SIR, AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE ROOM, SIR.

OUT FIVE.

ITEM FIVE IS CLOSED SESSION.

[5. CLOSED SESSION]

OH, YES. I WILL ALSO SAY STATE UPCOMING IN THE CLOSE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WE ARE CORRECTING THOSE MINUTES.

YOU WILL SEE THAT COMING.

SO THAT'S.

WE'RE FINISHED.

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.

SECTION 551.076 AND THE TIME IS 6:48 P.M.

ALL RIGHT.

[6. RECONVENE OPEN SESSION]

OPEN SESSION AND THE TIME IS 7:46 P.M.

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN, WHICH IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

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

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

I'LL SECOND.

WAS THAT JERI? JERI. TARRAH.

I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A MOTION BY KATHERINE GOODWIN AND A SECOND BY TARRAH LANTZ THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 8.1 OF THE MEETING, WHICH IS OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

[8.1 Approval of the Resolution Honoring Dr. Myrtle Hightower Resolution]

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER.

AND I INVITE.

TARRAH TO PLEASE GO AHEAD AND READ THE MOTION.

I'M SORRY. ARE WE READY? DON'T YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION FIRST OR.

YEAH. OH, I'M SO SORRY.

I'M OUT OF ORDER.

IT'S ME. I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION.

MY MISTAKE.

I'LL DO IT. COME ON.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HONORING DR.

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER. I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION BY JERI CHAMBERS, AND THE SECOND BY KATHERINE GOODWIN, THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HONORING DR.

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER.

NOW, BEFORE I TAKE THE VOTE, MAY I PLEASE ASK TARRAH LANTZ TO READ THE RESOLUTION? ALL RIGHT. RESOLUTION OF THE PLANO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES HONORING DR.

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER, 1923-2024.

WHEREAS DR.

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER DEDICATED HER LIFE TO EDUCATION, COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND THE PROMOTION OF DIVERSITY AND BELONGING IN PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE BROADER PLANO

[00:50:09]

HIGHTOWER SERVED PLANO ISD WITH DISTINCTION FOR MANY YEARS AS A TEACHER AND A COUNSELOR, LEAVING AN INDELIBLE MARK ON COUNTLESS STUDENTS AND COLLEAGUES.

AND WHEREAS IN 1988, AS A COUNSELOR AT WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL SHOUT OUT WILLIAMS, DR.

HIGHTOWER FOUNDED THE DISTRICT'S ANNUAL MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DIVERSITY CELEBRATION, WHICH HAS GROWN FROM A CAMPUS EVENT TO A DISTRICT WIDE CELEBRATION, FOSTERING UNDERSTANDING AND UNITY ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY.

FOR OVER THREE DECADES, AND WHEREAS, DR.

HIGHTOWER'S COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION EXTENDED BEYOND HER PROFESSIONAL ROLES, AS EVIDENCED BY HER SERVICE ON NUMEROUS COMMITTEES AND BOARDS THROUGHOUT PLANO CONTINUOUSLY WORKING TO IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL STUDENTS.

AND WHEREAS HER EXCEPTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICE EARNED HER RECOGNITION AS ONE OF PLANO ISD'S 100 HEROES A COLLIN COLLEGE LIVING LEGACY A RECIPIENT OF THE TEXAS HERO FOR CHILDREN AWARD AND RECIPIENT OF THE KEY TO THE CITY OF PLANO.

AND WHEREAS, DR.

HIGHTOWER'S DEDICATION TO BUILDING DIVERSITY WITHIN PLANO ISD HAS HAD A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR DISTRICT'S CULTURE AND PRACTICES, MAKING OUR SCHOOLS MORE WELCOMING TO ALL STUDENTS. AND WHEREAS THE RENAMING OF JOHN AND MYRTLE HIGHTOWER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN 2010 STANDS AS A TESTAMENT TO THE ENDURING LEGACY OF DR.

HIGHTOWER AND HER LATE HUSBAND, JOHN FREEMAN HIGHTOWER, IN SHAPING EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS DR.

HIGHTOWER'S PASSING ON OCTOBER 29TH, 2024 LEAVES A VOID IN OUR COMMUNITY.

BUT HER SPIRIT OF SERVICE, DEDICATION TO EDUCATION AND COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY WILL CONTINUE TO INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES HEREBY HONORS THE MEMORY OF DR.

MYRTLE HIGHTOWER AND EXPRESSES ITS PROFOUND GRATITUDE FOR HER LIFELONG DEDICATION TO EDUCATION, DIVERSITY, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND CONVEYS ITS DEEPEST APPRECIATION AND RESPECT FOR HER REMARKABLE LIFE AND ENDURING CONTRIBUTIONS TO PLANO ISD AND THE ENTIRE PLANO COMMUNITY.

ADOPTED THE SIXTH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2024 BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PLANO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IF WE APPROVE THIS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SECRETARY LANTZ.

SHE'S READ THE RESOLUTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES. I REMEMBER MISS MYRTLE HIGHTOWER VERY WELL, BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, SHE WELCOMED ME VERY OPENLY.

AND I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THAT WAS IN 2017.

AND FOR ALL THE YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, SHE HAS ATTENDED I'VE NOTICED SHE ATTENDED A LOT OF PLANO ISD EVENTS THAT I'VE BEEN, AND SHE'S ALWAYS THERE, PRESENT.

AND HER LEGACY, I THINK, WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON BECAUSE SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT IN PLANO.

AND I THINK SHE WILL CONTINUE TO BE PRESENT IN PLANO.

I JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING ABOUT THE RICH HISTORY OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND SAYING THAT I SAW A DESCENDANT OF ONE OF OUR OTHER NAMED CAMPUSES RECENTLY, AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS AWARE OF DR.

HIGHTOWER AND HE DID NOT.

AND HE HAD, YOU KNOW, HAD A KIND OF A FACIAL REACTION.

BUT HE SAID HE SAID AND HER HUSBAND, HE WAS SUCH A MENTOR TO ME AND HE WAS SO IMPACTFUL IN MY LIFE.

AND SO IT'S JUST I'M REALLY PROUD OF US HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER THIS MOTION IN HONOR OF BOTH HER AND HER FAMILY AND, OF COURSE, HER LEGACY.

WELL, I JUST HAVE SOME THOUGHTS BECAUSE, LIKE YOU, EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD IN 2010, DR.

HIGHTOWER ALWAYS HAS BEEN A POSITIVE FORCE FOR GOOD.

SHE'S ALWAYS KIND TO EVERYONE ELSE.

AND CONSISTENTLY, SHE'S MODELED KINDNESS.

HER INCREDIBLE IMPACT WAS FELT BY EVERYONE, WHETHER IT WAS A DIRECT INTERACTION OR JUST THE WORK THAT SHE DID.

AND ONE OF HER GREATEST WORKS WAS ORGANIZING THE MLK CELEBRATION FOR THE DISTRICT, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT.

IT'S QUITE A NICE PROGRAM EVERY JANUARY, AND THE STUDENTS PERFORM AND IT'S JUST AMAZING.

AND KIDDOS WRITE TRIBUTES TO MARTIN LUTHER KING JR AND HIS LEGACY.

AND SO ONE THING I WILL NOTE IS THAT WHEN DR.

HIGHTOWER ASKED YOU TO DO SOMETHING, YOU JUST DID IT.

YOU LISTENED, AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT NOT FOLLOWING HER INSTRUCTIONS.

AND I CAN REMEMBER BRINGING THINGS TO DONATE TO THE PLANO THRIFT STORE.

AND I CAME IN THERE AND THERE WAS DR.

[00:55:03]

EVERYONE CALLED HER AUNT MYRTLE, EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T TRUE FAMILY.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SHE TREATED EVERYBODY LIKE FAMILY.

AND SO I WANT TO SAY ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND THE THE STAFF THAT WE ARE HONORED FOR HER PRESENCE IN THE DISTRICT AND THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HER AND LEARNING FROM HER POSITIVITY.

AND WE KNOW SHE'LL BE SURELY MISSED, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

WE'LL KEEP HER IN OUR THOUGHTS ALL THE TIME.

SO THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING I WANTED TO SHARE.

AND SO NOW I WILL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

AND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND OF COURSE, THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 8.2 OF OUR DISCUSSION AND ACTION, WHICH IS THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 PROPERTY TAX ROLL.

[8.2 Approval of the Resolution Adopting the 2024 Property Tax Roll]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION THIS EVENING WE ARE FOLLOWING REQUIRED WHAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW UNDER SECTION 26.09 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE, IT REQUIRES THAT THE GOVERNING BODY EACH YEAR APPROVES THE TAX ROLL.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN.

WE ARE ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE 2024 TAX ROLL, WHICH IS A TAXABLE VALUE OF 77,000,000,040.

YES. YEAH.

77 HAD TO READ THAT AGAIN.

77. THE VALUE OF TAXABLE VALUE.

SORRY, I GOT HUNG UP ON THE BILLION.

77,044,358,005 17 VALUE, WHICH SUMS OUT TO A TOTAL LEVY OF $743,120,712.77. THAT AMOUNT IS REFLECTED IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED BACK IN AUGUST.

SO OBVIOUSLY THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT RUNS A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEHIND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING IT TO YOU AT THIS POINT.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH THAT IS AN INCREASE FROM PRIOR YEAR OF ABOUT 8.2% THAT INCREASE IN TAXABLE LEVY IS ACTUALLY OFFSET WITH A LOT KIND AND IN RECAPTURE INCREASE.

SO OBVIOUSLY NO ADDITIONAL MONIES INTO THE CLASSROOM, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE.

DO YOU WANT TO ALSO POINT OUT, BECAUSE I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR TAXPAYERS THAT MAY BE LISTENING THIS EVENING, THAT IF YOU LOOK BACK WHEN WE HAD THE LAST MEANINGFUL TAX FINANCE RELIEF IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AN AVERAGE HOMEOWNER HAD A LIABILITY ON AN AVERAGE HOME IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT OF $5,104.

THAT WAS BACK IN 2018.

ON THE 2018 LEVY.

THIS YEAR, WHEN YOU GUYS SET THE TAX RATE, AN AVERAGE HOMEOWNER, WHICH IS A LITTLE OVER $600,000 IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, PAID A SCHOOL LEVY OF $4,691. THAT IS A DECREASE ON AN AVERAGE HOMEOWNER IN OUR DISTRICT OF $413.

SO I THINK I THINK THAT BODES WELL FOR YOU GUYS.

TAX RATE OVER THAT SAME SIX YEARS HAS DECREASED.

OUR TAX RATE HAS ACTUALLY WENT DOWN BY 39.6 $0.05.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT VALUES CONTINUE TO GO UP, I THINK IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE OVERALL LEVY, BECAUSE OF TAX COMPRESSION, THE OVERALL WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR SCHOOL TAXES OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS HAS ACTUALLY GONE DOWN ON AN AVERAGE HOMEOWNER.

SO I JUST THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT.

SO SO VALUES ARE GOING UP.

WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OKAY.

SO THE TAX RATE OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS SINCE 2018, HOUSE BILL THREE, LAST TIME WE'VE HAD MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION ON SCHOOL FINANCE REFORM.

OUR TAX RATE IN PLANO ISD, SCHOOL TAX RATE HAS ACTUALLY GONE DOWN.

THE OVERALL TAX RATE 39.6 9.6 $0.05.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT TAX RATE WENT DOWN TO EVEN WITH THE 2022 BOND, RIGHT.

THAT SO BASICALLY, THE BOARD ACTUALLY AUTHORIZED $1.35 BILLION OF DEBT THAT'S ACTUALLY BUILT INTO THIS OVERALL TAX RATE. SO.

THAT IS IT. THAT IS IT.

OKAY. WELL THAT'S GREAT INFORMATION.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

I THINK IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT.

SO I AM GOING TO ASK FOR A MOTION.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 PROPERTY TAX ROLL.

[01:00:03]

I HAVE A MOTION BY TARRAH LANTZ AND A SECOND BY JERI CHAMBERS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2024 PROPERTY TAX ROLL.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR JOHNNY.

SO, IF THE AVERAGE PLANO CITIZEN WERE TO GO LOOK FOR THAT TAX ROLL NUMBER IN OUR BUDGETS, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE $743 MILLION, RIGHT? THEY'RE GOING TO SEE IT DIVVIED UP INTO THE DIFFERENT BUDGETS.

RIGHT. SO THEY'LL SEE IT IN THE GENERAL BUDGET AND THEN THE DEBT SERVICE BUDGET.

SO, THIS IS AN OVERALL TAX LEVY THAT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO TWO BUCKETS.

IT'S THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL BUDGET, WHICH IS ABOUT $577 MILLION.

AND THE REMAINDER IS YOUR INTEREST IN SINKING, WHICH IS RIGHT AT $162 MILLION.

SO THOSE TWO AMOUNTS MAKE UP THAT THAT 743 MILLION.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IF SOMEBODY WENT LOOKING FOR THAT 700 MILLION NUMBER, THEY KNOW IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO THE TWO DIFFERENT FUNDS BY LAW.

ALRIGHT IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 9.1 OF OUR REPORT, WHICH IS REPORTS, AND WE WILL HAVE A 2022 BOND PROGRAM

[9.1 2022 Bond Program Update]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION, I AM GOING TO VERY QUICKLY TURN THIS OVER TO MR. TONY PEARSON, WHO EVERYONE KNOWS.

AND SO HE'S GOING TO GO OVER OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE TRYING TO BE AS TRANSPARENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY AS WE CAN.

AND SO WE ARE TRYING TO DO A QUARTERLY BOND UPDATES.

AND HE IS HERE THIS EVENING TO GO OVER THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO TONY.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, JOHNNY.

GOOD EVENING. OUR LAST CONSTRUCTION BOND REPORT WAS IN AUGUST AND COVERED OUR ACTIVITIES BETWEEN APRIL AND JULY 2024.

SO TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION.

TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION WILL LOOK TO CARRY US THROUGH OCTOBER, HIGHLIGHTING WHAT WAS COMPLETED THIS PAST SUMMER AND PROVIDING INSIGHT ON PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING AND OR ARE ABOUT TO START.

WE ARE STILL TRACKING ON THE FIVE PHASES DESIGNATED HERE.

I DID MOVE THE PHASE THREE THAT WAS STARTING IN 2024, QUARTER FOUR TO THE START OF QUARTER ONE OF 2025.

AND AS PER USUAL, THE PROJECT PHASING SCHEDULE IS NOTED FOR GENERAL PLANNING PURPOSES AND MAY BE ADJUSTED AS PROGRAMING NEEDS.

WARRANT. I DID TAG IT WITH A FEW MARKERS TO SHOW WHERE WE ARE TODAY BEING NOVEMBER 6TH.

IN RELATION TO WHEN THE BOND PASSED, WHICH WAS NOVEMBER OF 2022, AND WHEN OUR FIRST BOND SOLD ABOUT $700 MILLION IN JANUARY 2023, AND WHEN THOSE FUNDS BECAME AVAILABLE, WHEN THOSE SALES BECAME AVAILABLE TO US IN FEBRUARY OF 2023.

I WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OUR CURRENT LOCATION AS WE MAKE OUR WAY THROUGH THE WORK.

THE PHASE ONE LISTINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED.

I HAVE GIVEN PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO THEIR OWN SLIDES TO HELP QUICKLY CONVEY HOW MANY ARE COMPLETE, UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN, OR IN BIDDING AND NEGOTIATION.

THE GREEN CHECK MARK INDICATES COMPLETE 21 PROJECTS UNDER PHASE ONE ARE COMPLETE.

SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, INCLUDING THE JUPITER CENTER MURPHY WAREHOUSE, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM DOORS AND ENTRY RESISTANT FILM PROJECT, EIGHT PLAYGROUNDS, 3 OR 8 PLAYGROUNDS, FIVE SYSTEMS AND COMPLIANCE PROJECTS, THREE TRACKS, TWO SETS OF BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS, AND A PART.

OH NO, NOT IN A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE.

THE ORANGE PYLON CONE INDICATES UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE 14 OF THOSE WITH WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW WE KNOW IT ALL STARTED MULTI-PHASE PROJECT BACK IN MARCH.

A MAJORITY OF THE OTHERS BEGAN IN JUNE, AND STILL OTHERS, LIKE THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL FIELD AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN THE UPPER PLAYGROUNDS AT BEVERLY AND BORGESS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER. SO ALL THOSE HAVE CONSTRUCTION CONES BY THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

THE BLUEPRINT DESIGNATES IN DESIGN, OF WHICH WE HAD TWO AT THE TIME OF THESE SLIDES, MAKING THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

BUT AS OF TODAY, THESE WILL MOVE INTO THE BIDDING AND NEGOTIATION CATEGORY AS NEW HAGGARD RELEASED ITS 100% IFC, WHICH IS ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION, SET TO THE CONTRACTOR OCTOBER 31ST, AND PACKAGE TWO AT PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WILL BE THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK, ISSUED ITS IFC SET TODAY, NOVEMBER 6TH.

SO THAT'S LEAVING THE BIDDING AND NEGOTIATION MARKER, WHICH WILL GO FROM 5 TO 7 UNDER THE PHASE ONE HEADING.

THESE PROJECTS ARE ALL IN SOME STAGE BY BIDDING AND NEGOTIATION.

THAT MEANS THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE ALL IN SOME STAGE OF THE CONTRACTOR TAKING THESE PLANS OUT FOR BID, WITH THEIR TRADE PARTNERS BIDS BEING EVALUATED IN A GMP GUARANTEED MAX PRICE BEING RECOMMENDED TO THE BOARD, SUCH AS THE CT CENTER THAT GOT PASSED EARLIER BY CONSENT AGENDA AND WHO YOU NOTICE THE GENTLEMAN IN THE BACK LEAVING?

[01:05:08]

HUCKABEE AND I BELIEVE KEN, KEN KESSLER IS STILL SITTING HERE WITH HUCKABEE.

AND DORIS WAS ALSO REPRESENTED BECAUSE THEY WERE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT PASSED.

AND WHEN THEY SAW THAT IT DID, THEY MOVED ON TO START BUILDING.

THE PHASE TWO SLIDE READS MUCH THE SAME.

BUT NOTE THE ORANGE CONSTRUCTION CONE ON THIS ONE MEANS THAT WE'VE AWARDED A CONTRACTOR.

THEY ARE NOT YET ON THE CAMPUS OR THE SCENE, BUT ARE RUNNING SHOP DRAWINGS, ORDERING MATERIALS, AND PREPARING THEMSELVES TO BE READY FOR THE START OF CONSTRUCTION WHEN SCHOOL LETS OUT THIS SUMMER 2025.

JUST GOING BACKWARDS TO LOOK AT THE TO LOOK AT OUR OUR OUR PHASING.

JUST LOOKING BACK AT OUR TIMELINE.

THIS IS THE FIRST SUMMER TO WHICH THERE WAS ENOUGH TIME LEADING UP TO IT TO PLAN DESIGN FOR MORE AND LARGER PROJECTS.

SO 2024 SUMMER IS RIGHT HERE TO WIN.

THE BONDS WERE RELEASED.

HAD A LOT MORE TIME FOR DESIGN FOR THOSE LARGER PROJECTS COMPARED TO THE LAST SUMMER, WHICH WAS 2023, WHICH WE ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GO TO DESIGN, GO OUT FOR BID AND RECEIVE. BOARD APPROVAL IN THOSE FEW SHORT MONTHS.

JUST SOMETHING. SOMETHING TO NOTE.

AS WE TRACK PHASE THREE, FOUR AND FIVE PROJECTS, THEY WILL COME UP ONLINE SIMILAR TO THIS FOR QUICK KIND OF SEEING WHERE THEY'RE AT.

AND WE'LL HAVE THEIR OWN SLIDES SHOWING, YOU KNOW, PROGRESS PHOTOS AND STUFF AS THEY COME ONLINE.

SO MOVING INTO MOVING INTO THE PROJECT UPDATES, WE GOT THE JUPITER CENTER JUPITER CENTER RENOVATION.

THIS PROJECT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

THE DISTRICT'S TECHNOLOGY, DEPLOYMENT AND LEARNING MEDIA SERVICES MOVED INTO THEIR NEW SPACE BACK IN JUNE.

WE HAVE RECENTLY DECIDED THAT BEFORE WE LEAVE THAT PROJECT, WE ARE GOING TO REDO THE EXISTING FRONT ASPHALT PARKING LOT, WHICH YOU CAN SEE KIND OF HERE IN THIS LOWER LEFT PICTURE. IT'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.

A CHANGE ORDER WAS APPROVED AT THE SEPTEMBER BOARD TO DO THIS WORK, AND THAT WILL BEGIN HERE IN MID-NOVEMBER AT ISAACS AND PEARSON. THESE ARE BOTH EARLY CHILDHOOD SCHOOL PROJECTS.

GMPS FOR EACH OF THESE TWO PROJECTS WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD MAY 21ST.

THE CONTRACTOR HAS SINCE MOBILIZED ON BOTH SITES, SET UP THEIR FENCING, PLACED JOB TRAILERS, AND BEGUN DEMO OF THE EXISTING KITCHENS.

ISAACS IS ADDING 8400FT² OF KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM, AND IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE MARCH 2026.

PEARSON IS ADDING 5600FT² AND IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE IN JUNE OF 2025.

CENTENNIAL IS ANOTHER KITCHEN PROJECT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT BEGAN IN JUNE OVER THE SUMMER.

THEY COMPLETED THE INSTALLATION OF NEW STUDENT RESTROOM PARTITIONS, SELECT SIDEWALK REPAIR, INCLUDING IN THE FRONT RIGHT AT THE MAIN ENTRY DOORS, AND INSTALLED TWO SINKS IN THE ART ROOM. THE WORK IN THE KITCHEN IS ONGOING AND IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE BY MARCH OF 2025.

WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL FACED TWO.

RENOVATION IS CURRENTLY ON SCHEDULE THROUGH PHASE CONSTRUCTION THAT HAS THIS BUILDING BEING COMPLETE BY JULY 2026.

PHASE ONE DEMO IN THE FINE ARTS SUITE BEGAN MARCH 4TH AND IS EXPECTED TO BE TURNED OVER BY EARLY JANUARY.

OVER THE OVER THE SUMMER, THEY WERE INSIDE DRILLING PIERS.

SOME MIGHT RECOGNIZE SOME OF THIS FROM OUR BUS TOUR EARLIER THIS OR LAST MONTH.

WHERE WE GOT IN AND ACTUALLY SAW THIS HALLWAY WITH THE WITH THE STEEL IN THERE.

THIS WAS WORK THAT WAS DONE OVER THE SUMMER WHERE THEY WERE INSIDE DRILLING PIERS AND INSTALLING STEEL COLUMNS THROUGH THE CONCRETE DECK.

THEY WERE DROPPING IT THROUGH THE ROOF INTO THE INTO THE FLOOR THERE.

GETTING IT SET UP, STEEL PLATED IN.

AND THIS IS ALLOWING THEM TO BUILD THE CLERESTORY POP UP THAT THEY ARE CREATING OVER THE MAIN HALLWAY SPINE.

THEY WILL CUT OUT THE DECK NEXT SUMMER AND MAKE THIS CONNECTION.

THEY WERE ALSO WORKING ON GENERAL CLASSROOM SPACES IN PHASE.

COME ON IN PHASE THREE AND FOUR.

AND THEY EXPECT TO HAVE THOSE COMPLETE BY JANUARY.

AND THE SECOND FLOOR CLASSROOMS IN 60 WERE HANDED BACK TO THE CAMPUS FOR SCHOOL USE AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, BUT THEY HAD TO DO A LITTLE FOLLOW UP WORK OVER THE FALL BREAK TO COMPLETE THE FINISHES.

THE NATATORIUM, THAT'S ON THE WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL SITE.

WE'RE GOING TO START THAT ON SPRING BREAK.

CONSTRUCTION SHOULD TAKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

TONIGHT, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED AN INCREASE IN THE NATATORIUM ALLOWANCE, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO ADD LOCKER ROOM SPACE AND FLIP THE STARTING BLOCK LOCATIONS, WHICH WILL ALLOW MORE SAFETY FOR THE DIVERS DEEPER INTO TO DIVE INTO.

THE HAGGARD MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT PROJECT, THE IFC.

AGAIN, THE ISSUE FOR CONSTRUCTION SET WAS ISSUED OCTOBER 31ST.

THE CONTRACTOR IS CURRENTLY BIDDING OUT WITH TRADE PARTNERS, AND WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A GMP RECOMMENDED TO THE JANUARY BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

COURSE PLAN IS TO MOBILIZE FEBRUARY 1ST AND IMMEDIATELY START CLEARING THE SITE AND DEMOLISH THE EXISTING SOFTBALL FIELD.

IN ORDER TO GET THE BUILDING SUBGRADE PREP STARTED.

THEY WILL BE AIMING TO HAVE THE BUILDING PAVING AND DRIVES COMPLETE BY START OF SCHOOL FALL 2026, AND THEN THEY'LL MOVE TO THE DEMO OF THE EXISTING HAGGARD AND IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SYNTHETIC TRACK, WHICH WILL FOLLOW IN THE FOLLOWING SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT AND BE COMPLETE BY DECEMBER 2026.

[01:10:06]

IT'S JUST A CHALLENGE AND AN OPPORTUNITY.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE CITY OF PLANO, TRYING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE HAGGARD AND PLANO SENIOR HIGH, AS WELL AS THE PLANO AQUATIC CENTER, ALL SIT ON THE SAME SINGLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE WOULD BE MUCH CONCERN IF WE WERE ONLY WORKING AT ONE CAMPUS, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE WORKING AT BOTH CAMPUSES, STARTING ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME, BUT ONE FINISHING WELL BEFORE THE OTHER, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH HOW THAT CAN BE PERMITTED.

THE CITY IS OFFERING AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUBDIVIDE THE TRACT INTO TWO OR MORE PARCELS, IN THIS CASE FOR HAGGARD SENIOR HIGH.

PLANO AQUATIC AND THE 12 COURT TENNIS COMPLEX FOR PLANO SENIOR HIGH THAT WILL BELONG TO PLANO SENIOR HIGH BECAUSE OF JUST HOW HAGGARD HAS TO BE DEMOED.

AND YOU CAN'T SPLIT THE BUILDING IN HALF.

EACH REQUIRES A PLAT REQUEST AND APPROVAL BY PNC, WHICH IS PLANNING AND ZONING TO MAKE SURE EACH TRACK CAN STAND ON ITS OWN FOR COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS SUCH AS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, FLOOD PROTECTION, LOT SIZE, NECESSARY EASEMENTS, OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS, STREET ACCESS, UTILITY PROVISIONS.

I SAY ALL THAT JUST TO SAY, IN SHORT, YOU KNOW, THE INTENT WAS, WAS TO HOPE TO SHOW THE MASTER PLAN OF WHAT IT WOULD ALL BE WHEN EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING WITH THE PROCESSES WE'RE BEING TOLD ARE AVAILABLE.

SO, REPLATS AND REENGINEERING TO MEET THIS REQUEST AND HITTING MEETING DATES COULD ADD A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

AT PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, THE PACKAGE ONE GMP FOR THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL COMPLEX WAS APPROVED JUNE 25TH.

AND AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY ON THE PERMIT, THE CONTRACTOR WAS ABLE TO BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER.

THEY ARE ON SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE FIELDS, BOTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL, NEWLY TURFED AND READY FOR PRACTICES ONLY BY BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2025.

THE DUGOUTS, CONCESSIONS AND RESTROOMS THAT ARE ALSO PART OF THAT BASEBALL SOFTBALL COMPLEX WILL FOLLOW WITH A TARGETED COMPLETION DATE OF MAY 2025.

THE ARCHITECT ISSUED THE IFC SET FOR PACKAGE TWO, WHICH IS THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK TODAY.

THE CONTRACTOR WILL TAKE IT OUT FOR BID WITH THEIR TRADE PARTNERS, AND WILL HAVE A GMP RECOMMENDED TO THE FEBRUARY BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

CONSTRUCTION WOULD THEN BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WITH FINAL COMPLETION FALL OF 2028.

THIS IS SOME PICTURES OF THOSE.

SORRY I WAS DISTRACTED FROM ALL THESE PICTURES ARE JUST KIND OF UPDATE THROUGH OCTOBER.

SO THIS IS KIND OF SHOWING HOW THE BASEBALL FIELD GOT, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS THEY COULD GET ON IN SEPTEMBER, THEY STARTED TAKING IT OUT.

THE CLARK HIGH SCHOOL STRUCTURAL REPAIR AND RENOVATION PROJECT BIDS WERE RECENTLY RECEIVED IN.

A CONTRACTOR RECOMMENDATION WILL BE MADE FOR THE DECEMBER BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

THE SELECTED CONTRACTOR WILL BEGIN TO PROCURE MATERIAL FROM DECEMBER TO MAY AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN JUNE 2025.

CLARK HIGH SCHOOL ALSO HAS SOME ATHLETIC REALIGNMENT, IF WE REMEMBER.

SO WE'LL GET THAT. YOU KNOW, THEY'VE ALREADY DONE THAT AT THREE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS TO KIND OF GET THE GYMS MATCHING UP WITH THEIR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE'LL DO THAT AT CLARK AS PART OF THIS PROJECT AS WELL.

THE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTER.

KEN WAS READY TO GO IF IT WAS PULLED OFF CONSENT AGENDA WITH A WITH A NICE SLIDE PRESENTATION, THAT WOULD HAVE KIND OF WORKED OFF OF THESE SLIDES REAL NICE.

BUT THESE PICTURES WILL HAVE TO DO.

THE GMP WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AT TONIGHT'S BOARD BY CONSENT.

P & Z APPROVED THE REZONING REQUEST 11 FOUR.

AND WE ARE SCHEDULED TO GO IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE ZONING REQUEST BY 1128.

WE ARE ASKING THE CITY IF WE CAN SUBMIT FOR BUILDING PERMITS SOONER.

WE ARE EXPECTING MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF CITY REVIEW COMMENTS BEFORE RECEIVING A PERMIT END OF JANUARY, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER IN FEBRUARY 2025, WITH COMPLETION AND OPENING FALL OF 2026.

COME ON. WEST PLANO WEST SENIOR HIGH RENOVATION BIDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND A GMP IS CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED.

WE'LL RECOMMEND THAT TO THE DECEMBER BOARD.

PHASE CONSTRUCTION WOULD START SHORTLY AFTER BOARD APPROVAL AND THEN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH JULY.

PHASE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH JULY 2027.

PLANO EAST BIDS HAVE ALSO BEEN TAKEN.

WILL HAVE A GMP ALSO FOR THE DECEMBER BOARD THAT WILL BE PHASED CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL START SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND CONTINUE THROUGH JULY 2026.

IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THE TIME? THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES ARE ABOUT OUR 14 SYSTEMS AND COMPLIANCE PROJECTS.

IF THAT WORKS. SO DISTRICT IRRIGATION DSI, TORO CONTROLLERS AND PEDESTAL CONTROLLERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

THESE CONTROLLERS AND PEDESTALS SERVE AS A CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ALLOWING THE DISTRICT TO REMOTELY OVERSEE AND MONITOR ITS IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AT EACH LOCATION.

KIND OF SEE FROM SOME OF THE PICTURES WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE.

WE'RE EXPECTING TO WRAP THIS PROJECT UP MID-NOVEMBER.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH SOME PUNCH LIST ITEMS ON ON THE CLUSTERS THAT WE HAVE FINISHED IN TRAINING OUR FACILITY TECHS.

HICKEY. HVAC IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO CHILLERS AND A NEW CONTROL SYSTEM.

CONTROL SYSTEM IS COMPLETE, AND CHILLERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETE OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK.

NEW STUDENT ALSO PART OF THIS PROJECT.

NEW STUDENT TOILET PARTITIONS WERE COMPLETED OVER THE SUMMER.

SHELL. SHELL.

[01:15:02]

THE HVAC CONTROL SYSTEM IS COMPLETE.

SEVEN OUTSIDE AIR UNITS WERE ALSO REPLACED THIS SUMMER AND THAT INCLUDED PAINTING THEM, INSTALLING ALL NEW PIPING.

HEAT TRACING AND INSULATION.

JACKETING RPG, WHICH IS REDUCED PRESSURE ZONE VALVES AND WATER METER INSTALLATION, IS EXPECTED TO BE OR WAS COMPLETED OVER THIS FALL BREAK, AND WE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE ON THIS ONE. SIGLER HVAC IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED INSTALLING NEW ROOFTOP UNITS AND A COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION OF THE HVAC SYSTEM CONTROL.

A NEW DIGITAL MARQUEE WAS ALSO INSTALLED AND THIS ONE IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AS WELL.

THE MENDENHALL AND IC TWO PROJECT ASSISTS THIS COMPLIANCE INCLUDES SPRINKLER SYSTEM VALVES, NEW CHILLER, NEW RTUS, AND NEW CONTROLS, WHICH ARE ONGOING. AT THE EARLY CHILDHOOD SCHOOL.

THEY ADDED THE ENTRY RESISTANT FILM ON THE MAIN ENTRIES AND ALL EXTERIOR GLAZING, AS WELL AS SOME VISITOR SIGNAGE.

BOWMAN, SIMPSONS AND COMPLIANCE ITEMS INCLUDED NEW ELECTRICAL SUB PANELS, SPRINKLER SYSTEM REPAIRS, NEW ROOFTOP UNITS, AND A NEW COOLING TOWER.

WE ALSO ADDED ENTRY RESISTANT FILM TO ALL OF THEIR EXTERIOR GLAZING AND WINDOWS.

THAT IS ALL COMPLETE.

WE DO HAVE SIX AIR HANDLER UNITS THAT STILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED.

AND THEY'LL TRY TO FIND OVER THE CHRISTMAS BREAK OVER SPRING BREAK TO GET THOSE UNTIL COMPLETION.

WILSON, THE CONTRACTOR, MOBILIZED ON MAY 24TH AND BEGAN REPLACING ALL ROOFTOP UNITS, INCLUDING CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL PANELS AND SECURITY WINDOW GLAZING.

THE PROJECT IS NOW SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WITH SOME PUNCH LIST ITEMS STILL IN PROGRESS.

VINES IS CURRENTLY OUT FOR BID.

WE OPENED BIDS. I THINK THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

WE ANTICIPATE RECOMMENDING A CONTRACTOR TO THE DECEMBER BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

WE'LL START DOING SUBMITTALS AND PREPARING IN JANUARY FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL OCCUR OVER SUMMER 2025.

SORRY, I'M SLOWING THAT.

I'M AFRAID TO GO CLICK TOO MANY PAST IT.

HARRINGTON. THE CONTRACTORS COMPLETED THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW ROOFTOP UNIT FOR THE GYM, AS WELL AS THE HOT WATER PUMPS AND BOILERS.

DEMOLITION OF THE CHILLERS AND TWO AIR HANDLING UNITS BEGAN DURING THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 14TH AND CONTINUE.

AND FIVE. FIVE AIR HANDLERS ARE STILL IN NEED OF COMPLETION.

WE'RE HOPING TO DO TWO OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK AND POTENTIALLY THREE OVER CHRISTMAS TO COMPLETE THAT PROJECT.

BEVERLY, CURRENTLY THE CONTRACTOR, HAS COMPLETED INSTALLATION OF ALL HVAC SPLIT SYSTEMS, ALL FAN COIL UNITS IN THE NEW HYDRONIC HOT WATER.

HOT WATER BOILERS CONTRACTORS RECEIVE BOTH CHILLER CHILLERS AND WILL START PREPPING FOR THE REPLACEMENT DURING THE WINTER BREAK.

OOPS. SORRY. ANDREWS.

THE CONTRACTOR SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED TWO HYDRONIC BOILERS ALONG WITH PUMPS AND DRIVES, AND IS ALSO COMPLETED.

THE HVAC CONTROLS, BOTH THE CHILLERS AND THE OUTSIDE AIR UNITS ARE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT DURING THE WINTER BREAK.

ALDRIDGE, THE CONTRACTOR, MOBILIZED ON MAY 24TH AND BEGAN REPLACING ALL ROOFTOP UNITS, INCLUDING CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL PANELS, AND REMODELING OF STUDENT RESTROOMS. STAFF RETURNED TO THE CAMPUS ON JULY 31ST, AND THE PROJECT IS NOW SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, WITH SOME PUNCH LIST ITEMS STILL IN PROGRESS.

A FEW MORE HERE.

ADMINISTRATION STARTED ON THE THIRD FLOOR IN THE ROOF AND ARE WORKING OUR WAY DOWN.

THE SKYLIGHT HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE ROOF IS ABOUT 95% COMPLETE.

WE'RE STARTING TO BUILD BACK WALLS ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND PUT DOWN FINISHES.

AND AND ALSO INCLUDING CEILING GRID.

DEMO HAS STARTED ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

AND THEN THE PLANO WEST PLANO WEST SWITCHBOARD IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS DIDN'T MIND GOING THROUGH ALL THOSE.

IT'S JUST TO SHOW THAT A LOT OF WORK HAS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THIS ON THIS BOND PROJECT, ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T YOU DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT ON THE OUTSIDE OF BUILDINGS NECESSARILY JUST YET, ALTHOUGH WE ARE ABOUT TO GET THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

BUT A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN OCCURRING.

PLAYGROUNDS JUST GOING TO QUICKLY MOVE THROUGH THOSE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE, THE 18 OR 20 THAT WE'VE GOT.

JUST TO NOTE THAT THEY'RE ALL THE PHASE ONE PLAYGROUNDS ARE ALL GOOD TO GO EXCEPT FOR TWO.

SO THE UPPER UNITS AT ALDRIDGE AND STINSON ARE COMPLETE AND ARE USABLE.

THE UPPER AND LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS AT THOSE SIX CAMPUSES OF BARKSDALE, MEADOWS, BETHANY, HOUSTON, CARLISLE AND BRINKER, BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER UNITS WERE REPLACED AND THEY'RE READY TO USE.

AND THE TWO THAT ARE STILL ONGOING ARE TWO UPPER AND LOWER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS AT BEVERLEY AND BOGGESS.

SO THEY STARTED THEY'VE THEY'VE DEMOED THE UPPER UNIT PLAYGROUNDS AT BOTH OF THOSE CAMPUSES.

AND THEY HOPE TO HAVE THOSE BY STUDENTS RETURN AFTER CHRISTMAS.

AND THE CONTRACTOR WILL THEN PIVOT THEIR TIME TO THE LOWER PLAYGROUNDS, DEMO THOSE OUT, AND THEN LOOK TO HAVE THOSE COMPLETE BY RETURN ON SPRING BREAK.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS. WE DID THREE THIS LAST THAT COMPLETED THIS LAST SUMMER.

THERE YOU GO. THE NEW ALL WEATHER, NEW ALL WEATHER SYNTHETIC TRACKS ARE COMPLETE AT BOWMAN, ROBINSON AND WILSON.

AND THEN THAT SUBTLE CHANGE FROM PURPLE TO RED.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY NOTICED. THAT KIND OF MEANS THAT WE'RE GETTING INTO PHASE TWO PROJECTS.

SO TRANSPORTATION, WE'VE GOT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING AN ADDITION OF APPROXIMATELY 15,000FT² FOR NEW DRIVE THROUGH KIND OF SOMEWHERE HERE, NEW DRIVE THROUGH HIGH

[01:20:10]

THE EXISTING THE EXISTING VEHICLE SERVICE SERVICE AREA WOULD THEN BE RENOVATED INTO USABLE OFFICE AND CONFERENCE ROOM SPACE FOR TRANSPORTATION.

WE'RE ALSO DOING HVAC CONTROLS, AND THEN WE'RE, WE'RE THERE'S A REMOVAL OF UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS THAT ARE ALSO PART OF THIS PROJECT.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN ON THAT ONE UNTIL APRIL OF 2025.

WE ANTICIPATE STARTING IN AUGUST, AND IT WILL BE A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR TWO YEARS.

WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS AT THE TRANSPORTATION BUILDING, WE ARE LOOKING TO DO A NEW TRANSPORTATION FUEL STATION THERE ON THE ON THE NORTH END OF THE VISITOR SIDE OF CLARK STADIUM.

KIND OF SHOWN WHERE THE YELLOW DOT IS.

THAT THAT WILL HAVE NEW UNDERGROUND TANKS, PLUS FOUR FUEL PUMPS AND ROOM FOR BUSSES TO SAFELY MANEUVER IN AND OUT.

WE'LL FENCE IT NICELY SO IT KIND OF BLENDS IN WITH THE WITH THE SURROUNDINGS.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN ON THAT ONE, WITH CONSTRUCTION SET TO START FEBRUARY AND COMPLETE SUMMER OF 2025.

THE SERVICE CENTER BUILDING, ALONG WITH TRANSPORTATION, IS ONE OF THOSE THAT WE'RE WE'RE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN ON.

WE'RE WORKING FOR GETTING NEW FINISHES IN THAT BUILDING, ALONG WITH UPDATED RESTROOMS AND SOME WALL RECONFIGURATION TO MAKE SPACE FOR FOR MORE FOR MORE OFFICES.

WE'VE ALSO GOT A LITTLE BIT OF FOUNDATION REPAIR WORK.

NEW HVAC, NEW HVAC CONTROLS, AND NEW WAREHOUSE HEATERS.

WE'RE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN IN THAT TIMELINE IS THE SAME AS THE TRANSPORTATION.

TRANSPORTATION. WE'RE LOOKING AT AUGUST 2025 TO START WITH TWO YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION.

AFTER THAT, THERE'S ONLY THREE MORE SLIDES.

AFTER THAT, WE'RE GETTING INTO TWO MORE.

PROJECTS, ONE AT FRANKFORT AND ONE ONE AT HIGHTOWER.

WE HAVE NINE MORE PLAYGROUNDS.

THAT WE BUILD FUND WAS RECOMMENDED FOR THE WORK TONIGHT THAT THAT WILL BE UPPER.

AND LOWER PLAYGROUNDS AT EACH ONE.

SO 18 NEW PLAYGROUNDS AT NINE CAMPUSES.

WE'VE GOT A HANDFUL OF MORE SYSTEMS AND COMPLIANCE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALL.

AIMING TOWARDS BEING READY TO WORK ON FOR SUMMER 2025 COMPLETION OR INTO KIND.

OF LIKE THESE THESE ONES THAT WE WENT THROUGH INTO DECEMBER 2025 FOR COMPLETION.

IF THEY'VE GOT LITTLE ODDS AND ENDS LEFT TO DO, AND THEN WE'VE GOT THREE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THREE MORE MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACKS TO COMPLETE.

THOSE BEING AT MURPHY, HENDRICK AND FRANKFORT.

KIND OF RELATIVELY SHOWN WHERE THOSE YELLOW DOTS ARE.

THEY WERE ALSO SORRY.

PARAGON SPORTS IS ALSO BEING RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE FOR THOSE PROJECTS TONIGHT.

THAT'S EVERYTHING.

TONY, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT ONE THING FOR I KNOW A LOT OF YOU GUYS WERE HANGING ON EVERY WORD HE SAID, BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS AN IN-DEPTH ON OUR WEBSITE.

WE ACTUALLY KEEP UP WITH ALL OF OUR BOND PROJECTS, NOT JUST THIS ONE, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2004.

IT'S IF YOU LOOK AT ON OUR WEBSITE WHERE IT SAYS ABOUT OUR DISTRICT, RIGHT UNDERNEATH THAT YOU SEE WHERE IT SAYS BOND PROGRAMS, CLICK ON BOND PROGRAMS. IT'LL GO. AND THEN YOU CAN PICK WHICH WHICH BOND BOND PROGRAM YOU WANT TO.

BUT 2022, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND MULL OVER THIS AT A SLOWER PACE, THEN ALL OF OUR QUARTERLY UPDATES THAT TONY'S GIVEN IS ALSO PROVIDED THERE.

SO. GOOD POINT.

SO IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.

I THINK WE SHOULD THANK OUR FUND, OUR TAX COMMUNITY FOR KEEPING YOU VERY BUSY THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

ABSOLUTELY. BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO THANK THEM.

AND IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING, JOHNNY, I I'M MODIFYING A QUOTE THAT I SAW READ BY SOMEONE WHO WAS REMARKING ON A BOND ELECTION FOR ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES THAT SAID, SHOULDN'T REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF SYSTEMS LIKE HVAC BE A PART OF AN OPERATIONS BUDGET? AND IT KIND OF STRUCK ME AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY? COULD YOU PLEASE ANSWER THAT FOR ANYBODY THAT'S SEEING THIS FROM US AND WONDERING WHY WE'RE HAVING HVAC AND THESE KIND OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE THINGS, NOT PART OF OUR OPERATING BUDGET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, BUT OUR INS, PLEASE.

SO I MEAN THIS, TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, THE STATE, THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS NOT KEPT UP WITH ALLOWING US TO HAVE THE CAPACITY ON OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL SIDE OF OUR BUDGET IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE, THESE THESE UPDATES, THESE MAINTENANCE ITEMS. AS A RESULT, EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT OUT THERE HAS HAS BEEN FORCED TO.

NOW THEY GO THROUGH A A BOND PROGRAM, A REFERENDUM WHERE THEY GET COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

BUT THAT IS THE ONLY AREA THAT YOU'VE GOT CAPACITY NOW IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE THESE ITEMS. THESE ARE NOT JUST A SMALL PRICE TAGS ITEMS. THESE ARE THESE ARE ITEMS THAT HAVE REALLY BEEN HIT WITH INFLATION OVER THE LAST DECADE OR SO AS A RESULT.

I MEAN, YOU SEE EVERYBODY I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE SEEING EVERYBODY HAVING TO GO THROUGH AND DO BOND REFERENDUM BOND PROGRAMS JUST IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THE FACILITIES THAT THEY'VE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH.

AND YOU SAID SOMETHING VERY KEY.

AND THAT IS, AGAIN, COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN VERY STEADFAST IN SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS AND HELPING US TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE KIND OF

[01:25:06]

THAT'S A GREAT POINT. JERI.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT APPARENT.

WE HAVE TO THANK OUR TAXPAYERS FOR VOTING FOR THE BOND.

TONY, THAT'S A GREAT REPORT.

THANK YOU. I KNOW WE'RE KEEPING YOU BUSY WITH ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT THE TAXPAYERS APPROVED, BUT WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE BUS TOUR THAT YOU LET US, YOU KNOW, TOUR SOME OF THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

TWO WEEKS AGO. WAS IT? I GUESS SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YOU BET. THAT WAS FUN.

YEAH. OKAY.

I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE ORDER ON A COUPLE OF ITEMS HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 9.3 OF OUR REPORTS, WHICH IS THE PILLAR ONE UPDATE FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING.

[9.3 Pillar 1 Update: Teaching and Learning Presentation]

WILLIAMS. GOOD EVENING.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE LORI TAYLOR, OUR CHIEF LEARNING OFFICER.

TO COME AND PRESENT ON PILLAR ONE.

AND WE'RE PROVIDING AN UPDATE TONIGHT ON SOME OF THE STRATEGIES BASED ON THIS YEAR'S PRIORITIES FROM OUR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AND I'M EXCITED TO SHARE WITH, WITH WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE IMPLEMENTED IS INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING MODEL AT OUR CAMPUSES, WHICH ALLOWS US TO TO BE BOOTS ON THE GROUND EVERY DAY TO HELP SUPPORT INSTRUCTION IN OUR CLASSROOMS. AND I. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO TO LORI.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

DR. WILLIAMS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND MY CABINET COLLEAGUES.

I'M PLEASED TO PROVIDE THIS UPDATE TO YOU THIS EVENING ABOUT OUR SYSTEMS THAT WE'RE REALLY REFINING AND OR CREATING FOR TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS TO, TO INCREASE STUDENT PERFORMANCE. THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT STUDENT OUTCOMES.

WE KNOW THESE IMPORTANT HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE KEY INGREDIENT TO SUCCESSFUL DAILY WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND OUR JOB IS TO SUPPORT, EDUCATE, AND PARTNER WITH THEM.

SO THIS SLIDE PROBABLY LOOKS A LITTLE FAMILIAR WITH YOU.

THIS COMES FROM OUR STRATEGIC PLAN 1.2.

WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPECTATIONS FOR DISTRICT SUPPORT FOR ALL CAMPUS STAFF FOR US AS WELL, DISTRICT FOLKS THAT PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THEM.

THIS IS ABOUT IMPROVING OUR SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT.

AND YOU'LL HEAR THAT IN OUR STRATEGIES THIS EVENING.

WE'RE MEASURING THOSE STRATEGIES BY STUDENT OUTCOMES USING OUR OWN TRACK OUR ON TRACK METRICS FOR MAP PSAT, OUR HOUSE BILL THREE GOALS AND SAT AND THE EXPECTED RESULT.

WE KNOW THAT THE GREATEST IMPACT ON STUDENTS IS WHAT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO OUR FOCUS IS ON THOSE SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE OUR TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS IN ALL THAT THEY DO TO DO THAT.

THIS IS STRATEGY ONE.

THIS IS ABOUT OUR SYSTEMS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT SUPPORT TEAM.

AND THIS HAS BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED THROUGH TARGETED AND SOME INTENTIONAL STEPS THAT WE'VE TAKEN TO REALLY NARROW IN ON SOME HIGH PRIORITY KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS FOR EACH CAMPUS. WE DO THAT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

CAMPUSES DO THAT AS WELL, EVEN BY GRADE LEVEL, EVEN BY TEACHER LEVEL, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUALLY TO ADJUST AND IMPROVE OUR PLAN OF SUPPORT FOR THESE CAMPUSES.

WE SHARED WITH YOU A FULL DST REPORT, I THINK A FEW MEETINGS AGO AND AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, WE LOOKED AT THAT TIME AND IN SUPPORT AND TRAINING AND COACHING AND THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO OUR DSD PROCESS.

SO THIS, AGAIN, I THINK WAS PART OF THAT REPORT ON SEPTEMBER 3RD.

SO THIS LOOKS FAMILIAR TO YOU AS WELL.

WE SHARED IT WITH YOU IN ALL THE VARIOUS WAYS WE'D BE MONITORING THAT DATA, THAT WE'D BE COLLECTING AND JUST LOOKING AT A HIGH LEVEL AT THE DATA THAT WE'RE COLLECTING AND MONITORING SINCE THE LAST MEETING, WE'VE REFINED OUR SYSTEM OF REALLY DIGGING DEEPLY INTO THE DSD CAMPUSES DATA TO MONITOR PROGRESS.

FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE NEXT SLIDE ON THE LEFT, YOU SEE, THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC DATA THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO, AND WE USE IT TO ANALYZE AND RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS ON THE RIGHT. THAT'S PART OF OUR PROTOCOL.

WHEN WE COME TOGETHER EVERY SINGLE WEEK AS A DSD CORE TEAM AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THESE PARTICULAR DATA SOURCES.

AND THAT'S REALLY THAT'S JUST BECOME A PRACTICE THAT WE DO EVERY WEEK.

AND THAT INCLUDES SLI.

IT INCLUDES ACADEMIC SERVICES.

IT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF DEPARTMENTS THAT COME TOGETHER IN A PART OF THAT, THAT DST CORE TEAM.

THIS IS A PRINCIPAL SUPPORT TRACKING AND MONITORING.

YOU CAN SEE WE'VE COVERED UP SOME OF THIS FOR PRIVACY PURPOSES, BUT THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THIS DATA AND TRACKING AND THE DEPTH AND THE LEVEL OF MONITORING THAT WE'RE KEEPING TRACK OF. OF COURSE WE HAVE WE HAVE WE HAVE SEVERAL TRACKERS AND YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF SAMPLES OF, OF THEM THIS EVENING.

THE OTHER ONE IS TEACHER SUPPORT TRACKING AND MONITORING.

AND AGAIN, WE'VE WE'VE COVERED UP SOME OF THIS FOR PRIVACY PURPOSES.

BUT THIS IS THE SAME LEVEL OF DETAIL ON EVERYTHING WE DO AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL WITH HOW WE WANT TO SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS.

[01:30:03]

THIS IS ABOUT OUR SYSTEMS WITHIN CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION.

WE'VE ALWAYS USED DATA PRIOR TO ANY REVISIONS WE MAKE TO OUR CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS DURING THE SUMMER, BUT WE HAVE TRULY DOUBLED DOWN ON IDENTIFYING THOSE HIGH PRIORITY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

ALIGNING ADDITIONAL COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE, WITH THOSE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

AND WE'VE REVISED ALL OF OUR ANCHOR DOCUMENTS TO REFLECT THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM PROCESS AND THE INDIVIDUAL TEACHER INSTRUCTIONAL CYCLE, WHICH ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE'RE ALL LEARNING BY DOING.

AND THAT'S THE PLC PROFESSIONAL OR THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY PROCESS.

SO REALLY, IN A NUTSHELL, WE'VE REVISED OUR EXPECTATIONS TO PROVIDE MORE CLARITY TO HELP OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE USE THESE TOOLS AND THAT WE'VE PROVIDED FOR THEM, WHICH ALIGNED TO HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT FOR ALL, ALL STUDENTS.

THIS IS IF YOU WE'VE GOT KIND OF THREE THREE DIFFERENT PIECES PUT TOGETHER HERE.

THE TOP PART IS OUR PLANO ISD STEP BY STEP GUIDE, WHICH REALLY UNPACKS THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM FRAMEWORK.

IT'S A LENGTHIER DOCUMENT THAT'S NEW THIS YEAR FOR TEACHERS.

SO FOR A BRAND NEW TEACHER, IT WALKS THEM THROUGH WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO DO AS A COLLABORATIVE TEAM, WHAT WE EXPECT THEM TO DO ONCE THEY GO BACK TO THEIR THEIR CLASSROOM, AFTER THEY HAVE UNPACKED STANDARDS AND LOOKED AT THOSE HIGH PRIORITY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAD A REVISION THIS YEAR TO OUR COLLABORATIVE TEAM FRAMEWORK.

JUST TO BE A LITTLE MORE EXPLICIT AS FAR AS CURRICULUM UPDATES GO, WHAT YOU'D SEE HERE THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS.

SOME OF THESE ARE FROM THE UNIT PLANS.

THERE'S A SCOPE AND SEQUENCE EXAMPLES THERE.

AND THERE'S ALSO A SCHEDULE OF THE COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS THAT I CAN'T READ THAT FROM HERE, BUT IT'S EITHER MIDDLE SCHOOL OR I HAD TO PUT EVERYTHING IN LARGER FONT ON MY NOTES, AND TAYLOR WAS LAUGHING AT ME EARLIER.

BUT HOWEVER, THESE ARE ALL HIGHLIGHTED WITHIN OUR CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS, AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HAS INCLUDED THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL IN AUGUST.

AND WITH EVERY PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT WE PROVIDE, TEACHERS AND SUPPORT, THESE DOCUMENTS ARE ARE A PART OF THAT.

THIS IS JUST A THIS IS ABOUT TWO WEEKS OUT OF DATE.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE WE GATHER THIS INFORMATION OUT OF EDGE AGENTS THAT HOLDS OUR COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS.

AND THIS IS A TRACKER THAT WE WE HAVE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE AND TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THESE CAMPUSES ARE DOING ON SPECIFIC STANDARDS, THOSE HIGH PRIORITY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO MONITOR STUDENT PROGRESS AND TO ALSO MONITOR TEACHER PRACTICE.

THAT'S A REALLY THE PURPOSE, THE BIGGEST PURPOSE, PURPOSE OF A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

SO DON'T STRESS ABOUT THE PINK THAT YOU SEE UP THERE.

THOSE ARE TRIGGERS FOR US AS A DEPARTMENT TO ADJUST OUR SUPPORT FOR CAMPUSES OR FOR TEAMS OR FOR CONTENT SPECIFICALLY.

SO THIS IS NEW IN TWO WAYS.

IT'S ADDING TO OUR LAYER OF COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS, AND THEN ALSO ADDING A LAYER OF DATA MONITORING AND ADJUSTING AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND THEN STRATEGY THREE IS PROBABLY MY MOST MY MY FAVORITE STRATEGY.

AND THIS IS WHY I HAVE TAYLOR HOOD WITH HER, WITH US HERE THIS EVENING.

SHE'S OUR NEW DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL COACH.

AND THIS STRATEGY IS ALL ABOUT BUILDING SYSTEMS IN TERMS OF BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR THIS WHOLE PILLAR.

THIS IS A NEW STRATEGY AND SYSTEM IN PLACE.

THERE ARE LOTS OF US WHO ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROGRESS THAT OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES ARE MAKING ON OUR TITLE ONE CAMPUSES.

WE KNOW EVERYONE NEEDS A COACH, AND THE IMPACT THAT THEY CAN HAVE ON TEACHERS EVERY DAY WILL ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN EFFECT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES.

SO JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT.

THIS IS OUR COACHING MODEL LOGO.

YOU SEE IT, SEE IT THERE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

AND JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT AS TO HOW WE GOT HERE.

WE BEGAN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO PLANNING, PLANNING FOR A SHIFT IN HOW WE TRAIN, SUPPORT AND DEPLOY OUR ADDITIONAL STAFF ON OUR TITLE ONE CAMPUSES.

SO WE PARTNERED WITH ENGAGE TO LEARN.

THEY HELPED US BUILD OUR OWN PLANO ISD COACHING MODEL, AND THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, SLI, ACADEMIC SERVICES, INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY.

WE WERE ALL INVOLVED AND WE EVEN LOOPED OUR TITLE PRINCIPLES INTO IT TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM AS WELL DURING THE PLANNING.

WE CREATED A NEW JOB DESCRIPTION FOR THIS ROLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CAMPUSES.

WE POSTED THE JOB DESCRIPTION, AND WE PROMISED PRINCIPALS THAT WE WOULD SCREEN THESE APPLICANTS AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A LIST OF WHAT WE FELT LIKE WERE HIGH QUALITY CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITION.

SO THEY'RE REALLY AN EXTENSION OF ACADEMIC SERVICES AND THE TRAINING AND THE EXPECTATION.

AND THE COACHING COMES FROM OUR DEPARTMENT LEADERS AND FROM TAYLOR HOOD, WHO YOU'RE GOING TO MEET HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

WHEN I WHEN I GET TO STOP TALKING, YOU CAN TALK.

YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH YOU. SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN IS THE RESULTS OF OUR WORK OVER A YEAR AGO WITH THE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS AND ENGAGED TO LEARN TO REALLY LAND ON WHAT OUR MODEL

[01:35:02]

AND WE FELT LIKE THAT WAS THAT WAS SUPER IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE IN THIS MODEL.

SO NOW LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO TAYLOR.

SHE'S OUR VERY FIRST DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL COACH WHO'S HELPING OUR TITLE ONE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES GROW BECAUSE THEY'RE CHARGED WITH HELPING OUR TEACHERS GROW THEIR DATA ANALYSIS SKILLS AND THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES TO IMPACT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND GROWTH.

YEAH. YEAH. I GOT IT.

PERFECT. OKAY.

SO ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE WORKED THROUGH WHEN WE STARTED ROLLING OUT THE COACHING WORK THIS YEAR, WAS ALIGNING EXPECTATIONS FOR TITLE ONE COACHES AND THE ELEMENTARY BILINGUAL COACHES.

SO AT ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TITLE, ONE ELEMENTARY THERE IS AN ADDITION IN ADDITION TO THE TITLE ONE COACHES, THERE ARE 1 TO 2 BILINGUAL COACHES AS WELL.

SO WE COLLABORATED WITH MOS TO HELP ALIGN THOSE EFFORTS.

AND SO YOU'LL SEE SOME SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS THAT BOTH OF THESE COACHING ROLES HAVE.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT MOS IS? YES. MULTILINGUAL ACADEMIC SERVICES.

SORRY. THANK YOU.

SO WORKED WITH THAT TEAM TO ALIGN OUR COACHING EFFORTS.

SO YOU'LL NOTICE HERE THAT COACHES ARE WORKING THROUGH A VARIETY OF SUPPORTS, AS WELL AS RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM ME AND ACADEMIC SERVICES AS WELL.

WHAT THE COACHES ARE FOCUSING THEIR GROWTH IN ON THIS YEAR AND WHAT OUR COACHING MODEL IS FOUNDED IN, ARE THE SIX ESSENTIAL COACHING ACTIONS THAT ARE RESEARCH BACKED OUT OF 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH.

EVERY SINGLE TITLE, ONE COACH AND ALMOST EVERY SINGLE BILINGUAL COACH ARE ALSO WORKING THROUGH A CERTIFICATION PROCESS THIS YEAR.

SO THEY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM ENGAGED TO LEARN THIS SEMESTER TO GAIN A LEVEL ONE CERTIFICATION WITHIN THESE COACHING ACTIONS.

SO THIS SEMESTER, A LOT OF THE SUPPORT WITH ME AND THROUGH ENGAGE LEARN ARE FOCUSED ON THESE ACTIONS.

WHEN WE CHARGED OUR COACHES WITH THEIR SPECIFIC ROLE, WE SHARED SOME NON-NEGOTIABLES OF THE TYPES OF SUPPORTS THAT THEY WOULD BE PROVIDING TEACHERS.

AND SO THOSE INCLUDE ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS WITH TEACHERS.

THAT IS WHERE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF DIFFERENTIATION FOR TEACHERS CAN HAPPEN.

AND THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING EVERY 3 TO 5 OR 3 TO 6 WEEKS WITH TEACHERS.

SO THEY ARE SETTING REALLY REAL TIME BITE SIZE GOALS BASED ON CURRENT STUDENT DATA, BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THEIR OBSERVATIONS OR FEEDBACK THAT THEY'RE GETTING.

AND ALL OF THESE GOALS ARE ALSO ALIGNED TO RESEARCH BASED INSTRUCTIONAL BEST PRACTICES.

IN ADDITION TO THESE ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS, COACHES ARE ALSO SPENDING A LARGE BULK OF THEIR TIME IN CLASSROOMS, EITHER WITH CLASSROOM VISITS AND PROVIDING SOME ON THE SPOT FEEDBACK AND ON THE SPOT COACHING OR MODELING.

AND SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING MODELING AROUND SOME OF THOSE HIGH PRIORITY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AND ALSO SOME THINGS THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PLANNING TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S BEING DONE IN PLANNING IS BEING TRANSFERRED INTO THE CLASSROOM AS WELL.

YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT COACHES WILL BE IN PLCS OR PLANNING.

SO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COACHES ARE SPENDING A LOT OF THEIR TIME IN PLCS.

AND THAT PLC WORK WAS HAPPENING STARTED IN THE PAST.

AND SO WE'RE CONTINUING THAT WITH THE SECONDARY COACHES REALLY FOCUSING IN ON COACHING AND BUILDING CAPACITY OF PLC LEADERS.

SO TEACHERS WHO ARE LEADING THEIR TEAMS THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THEN THE TITLE ONE COACHES AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN THAT COLLABORATIVE PLANNING WITH GRADE LEVEL TEAMS, BOTH MATH AND READING OTHER SUPPORTS THAT THE COACHES MIGHT BE FOCUSING ON THROUGHOUT THEIR DAY.

OUR DATA ANALYSIS ARE REALLY BEING IN DATA IN REAL TIME.

AND KNOWING WHAT SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED BASED ON THE DATA THAT'S COMING IN.

AND THAT COULD BE TEACHER DATA, OVERARCHING CAMPUS DATA OR COACHING DATA BECAUSE THEY ARE TRACKING THEIR COACHING EFFORTS, AND WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THAT DATA IN A MOMENT.

AND THEY MIGHT SPEND THEIR TIME DOING RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, DESIGN TIME WITH TEACHERS, COLLABORATING WITH THEM, DEBRIEFING CLASSROOM VISITS, BEING IN MEETINGS WITH THEIR ADMINISTRATORS, AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, AS WELL AS FACILITATING CAMPUS BASED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

AND THAT'S A RESPONSE TO DATA TRENDS, WHETHER THAT'S COACHING DATA OR STUDENT AND TEACHER DATA.

SO GROW LAB IS OUR COACHING PLATFORM THAT WE ARE USING TO SUPPORT AND TRACK OUR COACHING EFFORTS.

AND THE PURPOSE BEHIND THIS IS TO GIVE THE COACHES REALLY A ONE STOP SHOP FOR THEIR COACHING WORK.

SO EVERY PRINCIPAL AND LEADER HAVE ACCESS TO THIS AS WELL, AS WELL AS THE COACHES AND ALL TEACHERS ON TIDAL CAMPUSES ALSO HAVE ACCOUNTS, SO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR GOALS AND RESOURCES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT WHAT WE CAN SEE IN THIS IS COACHING GROWTH DATA.

WE CAN ALSO SEE A TIME AND EFFORT REPORT.

[01:40:01]

RECENTLY, AS WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS AROUND HOW IS PLANNING TRANSFERRING INTO THE CLASSROOM AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE, AND HOW IS THAT SUPPORTING STUDENT GROWTH, RIGHT. AND WHAT CONVERSATIONS DO WE NEED TO HAVE AROUND THAT? AND THEN IT'S ALSO TRACKING TEACHERS GOALS AND NEXT STEPS AS WELL AS THEIR GROWTH.

AND I'M TRACKING THE COACHES GROWTH AS WELL IN THERE.

SO THERE'S LOTS OF DATA IN GROWTH LAB.

THAT REALLY IS THE PURPOSE BEHIND IT.

WE DID TRAIN PRINCIPALS ON OCTOBER 9TH, AND I'VE BEEN PROVIDING SOME ONE ON ONE SUPPORT WITH PRINCIPALS AS I'VE BEEN ON CAMPUSES AS WELL, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SUPPORT IS CONTINUED. SO THE SUPPORT THAT THE TITLE ONE COACHES ARE GETTING THROUGH WORK WITH ME AND ACADEMIC SERVICES ARE THE DATA INFORMED GROWTH COACH TRAINING. SO IN AUGUST, THEY ALL ATTENDED A COACHING TRAINING ALIGNED TO THOSE SIX ESSENTIAL COACHING ACTIONS.

AND A FOLLOW UP TO THAT IS THAT CERTIFICATION THAT I MENTIONED.

SO THE PROCESS OF THAT IS THEY ARE SUBMITTING SAMPLES OF THEIR COACHING.

SO COACHING VIDEOS AND THEY ARE BEING CALIBRATED BY AN ENGAGED LEARNING COACH AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK AND THEN TURNING THAT FEEDBACK AROUND WITHIN THEIR COACHING INTERACTIONS AS WELL.

AND WE ALSO HAVE MONTHLY COACH PLCS.

SO WE HAVE A SECONDARY COACH PLC, A BILINGUAL COACH PLC, AND AN ELEMENTARY COACH PLC.

AND I'M WORKING WITH SECONDARY ACADEMIC SERVICES, ELEMENTARY ACADEMIC SERVICES AND MULTILINGUAL ACADEMIC SERVICES TO ALIGN THOSE EFFORTS AND FACILITATE THAT FOR THEIR COACHES THERE AS WELL.

AND THEN I AM ALSO COACHING AND SUPPORTING THE COACHES AND ONE ON ONE COACHING.

SO AS THEY'RE COACHING TEACHERS AND INDIVIDUAL GOALS, I'M ALSO COACHING THE COACHES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND I'M SHADOWING THEM AND PLANNING AND PLC.

I'M ALSO SHADOWING THEM IN COACHING CONVERSATIONS OR MODELING COACHING FOR THEM AS WELL.

WE'RE SPENDING TIME DOING LEARNING WALKS IN CLASSROOMS. WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA AND DOING ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF TOGETHER.

SO REALLY, ANY OF THE WORK THAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING WITH THEIR TEACHERS, I'M ALSO PARTNERING WITH THE COACHES TO MODEL EFFECTIVE PRACTICES WITH THAT.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRACKING AND GROW LAB, WE HAVE SOME YES, ALWAYS AND YES SOMETIMES.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COACHES ARE SPENDING TIME DOING THE WORK AND NOT JUST SPENDING TIME TRACKING ALL THE THINGS ALL THE TIME, RIGHT? AND SO THEY'RE ALWAYS TRACKING THEIR ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS AND SUPPORT.

THEY'RE ALSO CAPTURING THEIR TIME.

SO THIS REALLY IS JUST THE TIME AND EFFORT IN PLANNING AND PLC'S AND THEN THEIR TIME AND EFFORT WHEN THEY'RE MODELING OR CO-FACILITATING WITH A TEACHER.

AND THEN IF THEY'RE FACILITATING WORKSHOPS OR TRAININGS AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

SOMETIMES WHAT THEY WILL DO IS OBSERVATION AND FEEDBACK.

AND WHY THAT'S A SOMETIMES IS BECAUSE THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE A COACH IS IN A TEACHER'S CLASSROOM FIVE TIMES A WEEK.

SO WHAT THE CHARGE THAT THEY HAVE FOR THAT IS TO CAPTURE A CUMULATIVE LOG ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING IN THAT CLASSROOM OVER THE COURSE OF THAT WEEK, BECAUSE THE TEACHER RECEIVES FEEDBACK EVERY SINGLE TIME.

AND SO WE ALSO WANT TO BE AWARE OF, YOU KNOW, OVERLOADING THE TEACHER AT TIMES.

AND THEY WILL ALSO SOMETIMES TRACK ADMIN MEETINGS.

DATA MEETINGS. WHY THAT'S A SOMETIMES IS BECAUSE A LOT OF THAT WORK IS HAPPENING IN COLLABORATIVE PLANNING AND PLCS.

IF IT IS A SPECIFIC DATA MEETING OUTSIDE OF THOSE TWO INTERACTIONS, THEY WOULD TRACK THAT AND THEN THINGS LIKE Q&A SESSIONS OR WHEN THEY'RE JUST LIKE SITTING DOWN AND CHATTING WITH TEACHERS. TEACHERS ARE BEING COACHED ON SOME RESEARCH BASED BEST PRACTICES.

SO THERE ARE 12 SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES THAT THEY ARE BEING COACHED ON.

AND TEACHERS ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE IN WHERE THEIR FOCUS AREA IS.

WITHIN THOSE ONE ON ONE SUPPORTS, THE COACH WILL FACILITATE THEM THROUGH SOME CONVERSATION OF TRENDS AND CLASSROOM OBSERVATION, OR USE STUDENT DATA TO GUIDE THAT SELECTION OF A GOAL.

BUT JUST FOR SOME CONTEXT, I WANTED YOU ALL TO SEE WHAT THESE 12 ARE, AND I'M STARTING TO GET INTO SOME OF THIS DATA.

SO I DID UPDATE THIS DATA TODAY.

SO THIS WAS PULLED AT I THINK 930 THIS MORNING.

WHICH IS A REALLY FUN CELEBRATION.

SO SINCE AUGUST 20TH REALLY WAS WHEN THEY WRAPPED UP TRAINING.

THERE HAVE BEEN 721 ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES, AND THAT'S INCLUDING SECONDARY COACHES, ELEMENTARY COACHES AND BILINGUAL COACHES AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF OTHER SUPPORT SESSIONS, SO THOSE MIGHT INCLUDE PLCS, PLANNINGS, OBSERVATION, FEEDBACK, DEBRIEFS, ANY OF THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT AREN'T A ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATION.

AS TEACHERS PROGRESS AND MASTERY OF A COMPETENCY, THEY EARN BADGES.

SO THAT'S JUST WHAT THE DATA POINT IS REFERRED TO AS.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE 214 BADGES EARNED ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS HAS ROLLED OUT COACHING.

AND MOST OF THE COACHES ARE ON THEIR SECOND OR THIRD ROUND OR CYCLE OF A ONE ON ONE CONVERSATION.

I THINK JUST A HANDFUL ARE ABOUT TO START THOUGH, SO THAT'S REALLY EXCITING SINCE WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER.

YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT 746 NUMBER WITH THAT GUY TO THE RIGHT OF IT.

WHAT THAT'S REFERRING TO IS GROWTH INDICATOR.

SO AS THEY AS A TEACHER PROGRESSES UP A COMPETENCY, EVERY COMPETENCY HAS A RUBRIC.

[01:45:03]

AND Y'ALL WILL SEE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IN A MOMENT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE MICRO-CREDENTIAL Y THAT'S A SMALL NUMBER IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN A TEACHER MEETS MASTERY IN A BEST PRACTICE.

SO THOSE WILL TAKE TIME, RIGHT, FOR US TO COLLECT THOSE.

BUT I PERSONALLY, IT'S REALLY EXCITING THAT THERE'S ALREADY FOR SHOWING.

I LOOKED AT SOME OF THE DATA, WHAT THOSE WERE.

AND AS TEACHERS ARE ALSO WORKING THROUGH COACHING AND COACHES ARE WORKING THROUGH COACHING, THEY ADD EVIDENCE AS WELL.

SO THIS IS ALL EVIDENCE BASED.

AND IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE WHAT THOSE THINGS WERE.

AND THEN A LOT OF STAFF HAS BEEN COACHED.

SO THIS IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT THE GOAL SETTING PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH A TEACHER.

SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THIS TEACHER SELECTED THE COMPETENCY OF SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A RUBRIC FOR EACH COMPETENCY HAS TWO ROWS.

SO THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE ROWS, AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE TEACHER SET THEIR GOAL.

DOES THIS WORK ON THE TV? I DON'T KNOW. OKAY. IT'S KIND OF WORKING.

YES. I CAN'T TELL.

ANYWAYS YOU'LL NOTICE THAT LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO HAVE BEEN CHECKED OFF.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE SAY GROWTH INDICATOR HAS BEEN CHECKED.

THAT'S WHERE THAT DATA IS CAPTURED.

AND THEN THIS TEACHER SET THEIR GOAL AT A LEVEL TWO.

AS THE TEACHER SELF ASSESSES AND REFLECTS AND SAYS WHERE THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY WANT TO BE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE COACH USED THAT LANGUAGE OF THE LEVEL WHERE THEY SET THEIR GOAL TO HELP BRAINSTORM SOME IDEAS, AND WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS EXAMPLE.

SO THIS WAS SET OBVIOUSLY BACK IN OCTOBER.

BUT THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY BITE SIZED GOALS.

LIKE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT THAT THE TEACHER CAN TURN AROUND RIGHT NOW, BUT ALSO THINGS THAT WILL CARRY OVER INTO SYSTEMS IN THE CLASSROOM AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE WE REALLY ARE FOCUSING ON SUSTAINABILITY OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

SO THIS TEACHER IN THIS CONVERSATION SELECTED TWO THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO FOCUS ON.

SO THE TEACHER ALWAYS HAS A CHOICE BASED ON CONVERSATION AND REFLECTION WITH THE COACH.

JUST REAL QUICK, THE BADGE PROGRESS FOR TEACHERS.

SO AGAIN, I PULLED THIS THIS MORNING.

I THINK THE MOST EXCITING THING FOR ME ON THIS IS SEEING HOW MUCH OF A FOCUS SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION HAS BEEN.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

I WAS TELLING LORI I HADN'T LOOKED AT THIS REPORT IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SO.

AND I PULLED IT UP AND I, LIKE, GOT A LITTLE GIDDY BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, IT'S SO GREAT.

BUT THAT'S BASICALLY SAYING HOW MANY BADGES HAVE BEEN EARNED WITHIN THAT COMPETENCY ACROSS THE TEACHERS.

BUT IT'S ALSO EXCITING TO SEE THAT THINGS LIKE DIFFERENTIATION AND ASSESSMENT HAVE ALSO BEEN A FOCUS.

AND THEN COLLABORATION, WHICH MAKES SENSE WITH OUR DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS. AND AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, THOSE HAVE REALLY BEEN A FOCUS AS WELL.

AND JUST LIKE I SAID, WITH THE TEACHERS TRACKING PROGRESS, I'M ALSO TRACKING PROGRESS WITH COACHES.

SO AS THEY'RE SETTING GOALS AND BEING COACHED, THEY ARE ALSO PROGRESSING.

SO COACHING PROCESS IS WHAT THE CERTIFICATION IS BASED ON.

SO THAT'S WHY THERE HAS BEEN THE MOST GROWTH IN THERE SO FAR.

BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S ALSO BEEN A LOT OF GROWTH IN CONNECTED DATA.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THE ROLE OF A COACH AND DATA ON A CAMPUS, AND HOW THEY WILL USE THAT DATA TO INFORM THEIR SUPPORTS AND THEIR COACHING WORK.

THEN I PULLED A COUPLE SAMPLE SCHEDULES BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT, RIGHT? BUT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE ON LIKE A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

SO THIS IS A SAMPLE ELEMENTARY SCHEDULE OF A MATH COACH.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AND PLANNING A LOT OF TIME IN CLASSROOMS. AND THEN ALSO HAVING SOME OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL COACHING CONVERSATIONS SCHEDULED OUT AS WELL.

SO WE ARE REALLY FOCUSING ON AN 8020 MODEL, AND THAT'S 80% COACHING, 20% CAMPUS SUPPORT.

SO THAT'S REALLY TO HONOR THAT TIME OF THE COACH.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEIR DAY IS PACKED, RIGHT.

LIKE THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK WHENEVER THEY'RE ON OR THEY'RE ALWAYS ON CAMPUSES, BUT THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK, DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

RIGHT. THEN THIS IS A SAMPLE MIDDLE SCHOOL SCHEDULE, SO IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT A SIMILAR APPROACH.

AND YOU'LL NOTICE ON THIS ONE IT HAS THAT CAMPUS SUPPORT BLOCKED OUT.

SO THAT MIGHT BE HELPING WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT'S NEEDED AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL.

EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO GROW LAB IS ALSO PUT INTO THIS TIME AND EFFORT REPORT.

I REALLY LIKE LOOKING AT THIS JUST TO SEE WHERE THE BULK OF WORK IS HAPPENING.

SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT A LOT OF WORK IS HAPPENING IN PLCS AND COACHING CONVERSATIONS AND OBSERVATION FEEDBACK, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THAT ESPECIALLY WITH THE WORK IN PLCS THAT'S HAPPENING AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

AND SOMETHING THAT IS A GOAL FOR ME THAT I'M WORKING ON IS WORKING TO CORRELATE ALL OF THE GROW LAB DATA TO STUDENT DATA, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET MIDDLE OF THE YEAR DATA BACK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A FEW WEEKS, I GUESS, MONTH, MONTH AND A HALF.

ONCE WE GET ALL THAT BACK, CORRELATING THE GROWTH OF TEACHERS AND THEN COACHES AS WELL TO THAT, AND THEN I HAVE JUST A COUPLE SUCCESS STORIES.

I DON'T HAVE TO READ THESE OUT LOUD FOR YOU ALL, BUT THESE ARE THE COACHES FROM FORMAN ELEMENTARY.

AND THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS SUCCESS STORY WAS DR.

GORMELY TALKED ABOUT HOW HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN PLANNING AND HAVE THOSE ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS, AND HOW THAT IS DIRECTLY CONNECTING TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN

[01:50:01]

AND THEN DR. SMITH, WHO'S THE MATH COACH AT FORMAN, ALSO IS FOCUSING ON COLLABORATION AMONG THE TEACHERS WITH HER COACHING SUPPORT.

SO ON THURSDAYS SHE HAS TEACHERS COME AND MEET AND SHARE THEIR GOALS, THINGS THAT THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED FROM COACHING AND THEN ALSO WORKING THROUGH ALIGNING SOME OF THE RIGOR OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR CLASSROOMS TO OUR NEXT STEPS.

AS I MOVE THROUGH THE REST OF THE SEMESTER AND INTO NEXT SEMESTER IS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS MONITOR THROUGH THOSE INDIVIDUAL COACHING CONVERSATIONS, I'M WORKING ON TIERING OUT SUPPORT BASED ON COACH DATA AND THEN CAMPUS DATA AND ALSO CAMPUS NEEDS.

SO WE HAVE A VARIETY OF NEEDS HAPPENING WITH THOSE.

SO WORKING ON TEARING OUT CAMPUSES BUT ALSO TEARING OUT COACHES TOO.

AND SO THAT WILL INFORM SOME SUPPORT GOING INTO NEXT SEMESTER.

I AM ALSO DIFFERENTIATING THROUGH COACH PLC, SO ABLE TO REALLY MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR CONTEXT.

AND THEN I'M WORKING TO HAVE SOME EXECUTIVE DEBRIEFS OR EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES COMPLETED TO SHARE OUT WITH PRINCIPALS AND CAMPUS LEADERS BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK.

SO WE CAN START TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND THEN CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH ALL OF THE ACADEMIC SERVICES TEAMS. I THINK THAT'S IT, RIGHT? YES. WE'RE GOING TO LET TAYLOR GO BECAUSE SHE HAS ANOTHER COMMITMENT.

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BUMPING US UP A LITTLE BIT EARLIER I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. TAYLOR. ARE WE CAN WE NOT ASK TAYLOR SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE SHE GOES.

ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS. YEAH OKAY.

YEAH. WE JUST HAVE ONE MORE STRATEGY TO TALK ABOUT, TOO.

AND THEN WE'LL, I'LL MAKE SURE I GET THOSE QUESTIONS TO TAYLOR.

SO THE LAST STRATEGY WE WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS EVENING WAS ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

AND THAT WAS THAT'S TO DEVELOP A VIDEO LIBRARY, A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR TEACHERS.

THIS IS AGAIN, BEEN A BIG COLLABORATIVE PROJECT.

IT'S NOT JUST ACADEMIC SERVICES.

IT'S THE MULTILINGUAL ACADEMIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS A PART OF THIS SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S BEEN A PART OF THIS.

IT'S MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS COMING TOGETHER TO CREATE THIS LIBRARY TO SUPPORT TEACHERS INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A COLLABORATIVE TEAM.

AND SO WE'VE BEGUN A LITTLE BIT OF THIS WORK YOU SEE ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE SOME OF THE VIDEOS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CREATED AND LINKED, THIS IS REALLY WHEN LIKE WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SO MUCH TIME FACE TO FACE WITH THEM.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WE'RE ON CAMPUSES PROVIDING SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AS NEEDED.

BUT THIS IS SO THAT THEY'VE ALWAYS GOT A PLACE TO GO AND PULL UP A QUICK VIDEO ABOUT SOMETHING.

THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR WORK AND A FOCUS AS WE WORK WITH TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS EVERY YEAR.

SO THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE DATA ANALYSIS VIDEOS THAT ARE ON THE SLIDE.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THIS ALL YEAR.

SHOUT OUT TO MATT FRIES DIGITAL LEARNING TEAM.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.

WE'VE MET WITH THEM AS A BIG CORE GROUP A COUPLE OF TIMES TO SET SOME PARAMETERS AROUND WHAT THOSE VIDEOS NEED TO LOOK LIKE.

WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON RUBRICS TO TO LOOK AT ALL THE VIDEOS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE THE RIGHT LENGTH THEY'RE APPROPRIATELY PUT TOGETHER.

THEY HAVE SOME OF THE SAME COMPONENTS IN THEM THAT THAT WE EXPECT TO BE THERE.

AND THEN ON THE LAST SLIDE, THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE TOPIC AREAS.

WE'RE DATA ANALYSIS, WHICH YOU SAW.

WE HAVE SOME THAT WILL BE CONNECTED TO COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK, THE INSTRUCTIONAL CYCLE FOR SUCCESS.

THOSE WERE SOME OF THE NEW AND REVISED ANCHOR DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE THE LEAD FORWARD TOOLS.

HOW TO USE THOSE FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING.

MTS AND TIERED INSTRUCTION.

HOUSE BILL 1416 PROGRESS MONITORING.

AND THEN OF COURSE TIER ONE INSTRUCTION.

AND THEN ALWAYS SUPPORTING OUR SPECIAL POPULATIONS.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S UNDERWAY.

AND WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT ALL YEAR LONG.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO ONE SAY THANK YOU FOR THE CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING IN ACADEMIC SERVICES.

AND JUST TO REALLY HIT ON THIS POINT, WE KNOW THE RESEARCH SAYS THE NUMBER ONE IMPACT ON THE OUTCOME OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM IS HAVING A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHER.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T GET ENOUGH TIME IS PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR OUR TEACHERS.

WE HAVE A VERY SHORT WINDOW WHEN THEY COME BACK IN THE SUMMER.

AND SO HAVING THIS REVAMPED INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING MODEL ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE JUST IN TIME AND ONGOING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO BUILD OUR TEACHER CAPACITY IN OUR CLASSROOMS. AND SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK.

I KNOW WE'RE; THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR.

I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS THEN WILL PLAY OUT INTO THE OUTCOMES THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.

SO AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

[01:55:02]

AWESOME. I JUST HAD TWO QUESTIONS.

SO YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT THE TEACHER SORT OF PICKS THE AREAS THEY WANT TO GROW IN.

I GUESS WHY DO WE DO IT THAT WAY? IF THE COACH IS OBSERVING LIKE MAYBE THE COACH SEES CERTAIN AREAS THAT THE TEACHER WOULD NEED TO GROW IN, BUT THE TEACHER THINKS DIFFERENT.

LIKE, HOW DO WE MARRY THAT.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S THE ART OF WHAT TAYLOR DOES WHEN SHE'S WORKING WITH THE TEACHERS AS WELL, TO ESTABLISH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEACHER AND FOR THEM TO ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD BUY IN, BUT TO ALSO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THEIR IMPROVEMENT.

WE DO WANT THEM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE IT'S NOT JUST, OH, I WANT TO DO THIS OR I WANT TO DO THAT, BUT WE DO WANT THEM TO BE REFLECTIVE ABOUT THEIR PRACTICE AND BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE I DO NEED SOME HELP IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA OR HOW DO I DO THIS? CAN YOU HELP ME? NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT TAYLOR WON'T COME IN AND HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A COACHING CONVERSATION WITH THAT PARTICULAR COACH BECAUSE SHE'S IN THE CLASSROOMS AS WELL, OR THAT CAMPUS COACH WON'T HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THAT PARTICULAR TEACHER AFTER HAVING SOME CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS THAT WOULD IMPACT THE CHOOSING OF THAT PARTICULAR GOAL OR THE CRAFTING OF THAT PARTICULAR GOAL FOR THAT TEACHER.

SO THERE WOULD BE SOME OF THAT AS WELL.

BUT WE DO WANT THEM TO REFLECT ON THEIR OWN PRACTICE, LOOK AT THEIR OWN DATA, HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TEACHERS IN THEIR COLLABORATIVE TEAM, AND REALIZE, OH MY, MY DATA MAY NOT LOOK AS GREAT AS THIS PARTICULAR TEACHER, OR HOW CAN I DO BETTER? OR WOW, MY KIDS REALLY DID WELL ON THIS.

WE DO WANT THAT TO BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION, THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM OR WITH THE INDIVIDUAL, THE COACHED AND THE COACH AS WELL.

SO ONE OTHER THING TO ADD TO THAT IS IT ALSO REALLY CONNECTS WELL WITH THE WITH THE TEACHER EVALUATION TOOL BECAUSE PART OF T TEST, THAT'S THE NAME OF OUR EVALUATION.

IT REALLY THE TEACHERS AT THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR PRECONFERENCE AND THEIR PRE GOAL SETTING WITH THEIR PRINCIPAL OR SUPERVISOR, IT'S REALLY HAVING A REFLECTIVE LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE AREAS WHERE MY KIDS ARE DOING REALLY WELL BASED ON MY INSTRUCTION.

AND THEN WHERE ARE AREAS WHERE I NEED TO HAVE SOME REFINEMENT AND SO SOME OF THE AREAS THAT THEY'RE SELECTING MAY BE ON THAT FEEDBACK THAT THEY'RE RECEIVING FROM THEIR SUPERVISOR. YEAH.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE WAS SHE MENTIONED THIS VERY BRIEFLY, BUT I NOTICED THAT I GUESS I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE COACHING GOALS TIED TO, LIKE, DIRECT DELIVERABLES, LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO EITHER SPECIFIC, LIKE MAP SCORE GROWTH OR SPECIFIC GROWTH IN STAR.

I GUESS HOW ARE WE MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS? BECAUSE ALL THE MEASUREMENTS I SAW UP THERE WERE JUST SORT OF QUANTITY OF DELIVERY OF SERVICE.

IT WASN'T NECESSARILY EFFECTIVENESS OF SERVICE.

SO ARE YOU. LET ME LET ME ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION.

ARE YOU ASKING WHY THE TEACHER'S GOALS DON'T DIRECTLY ARE NOT TIED TO THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF DATA? YEAH, I'M ASKING OVERALL FROM A COACHING STANDPOINT, WHY OUR COACHING GOALS ARE NOT TIED DIRECTLY TO THAT DATA.

SO, THEY'RE COACHING ON THE HOW.

AND SO PART OF THE T TEST COMPONENT IS SETTING THOSE SPECIFIC GOALS.

AND SO I MAY IF I'M A TEACHER I MAY SET A GOAL THAT I NEED TO MAKE AN INCREASE OR IMPROVEMENT ON THIS PARTICULAR TEACHING STRATEGY AS MEASURED BY STAR MAP.

IT MAY BE I FORGET WHAT OUR OTHER READING ASSESSMENT IN CLASS, IN CLASS.

AND THEN THE COACHING PART IS ON THE HOW.

SO THE PART YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOES OCCUR, BUT IT OCCURS WITH THE SUPERVISOR, THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OR PRINCIPAL THAT'S ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE EVALUATION FOR THAT EMPLOYEE.

BUT I GUESS STILL HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S EFFECTIVE.

LIKE IF THEY DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND OUR KIDS DON'T GROW, COULD I ASSUME THAT THEY'RE HOW IS NOT CORRECT? SO I THINK THAT THAT'S PART OF WHAT TAYLOR WAS TALKING ABOUT, THAT ONCE WE HAVE MIDDLE OF YEAR DATA, WE HAVE A NEW DATA POINT THAT WILL CALIBRATE.

SO IF A COACH HAS IDENTIFIED THESE PARTICULAR AREAS THAT THEY'RE NEEDING TO GROW AND MAKE IMPROVEMENT, ARE WE SEEING THAT REFLECTED IN THE STUDENT RESULTS.

AND THEN THAT THAT WILL BE A MID POINT CALIBRATION AROUND THAT.

AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE DATA THAT WE'LL ALSO HAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE THAT WE'VE NOT EVER HAD BEFORE IS HOW EFFECTIVE IS OUR COACHING MODEL BASED ON THE OUTCOMES OF STUDENTS.

AND SO NOW WE HAVE A TOOL THAT WILL ALLOW US TO LOOK AT THE DATA IN A DIFFERENT MANNER TO GET TO WHAT EXACTLY YOUR POINT IS.

[02:00:03]

LIKE, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WELL, I THINK OUR OUTCOME IS ALWAYS CONNECTED TO WE WANT OUR KIDS TO PERFORM WELL AND SHOW GROWTH ON MAP IN THE SAME FOR STAR.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE END GOAL.

AND WE ALSO HAVE COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS ALONG THE WAY.

WE ARE SO TIGHTLY ALIGNED RIGHT NOW WITH THE EXPECTATIONS AROUND THESE COACHES AND WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO TO COACH OUR TEACHERS TO IMPROVE THEIR PRACTICE.

I MEAN, IF THEY ARE IMPROVING THEIR PRACTICE AND THEY'RE ASSESSING ALONG THE WAY, AND WE REALLY EXPECT TEACHERS TO FORMATIVELY ASSESS IN THE MOMENT ALL DAY AND ALL WEEK.

SO THOSE ARE LESS MEASURABLE TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS.

BUT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT AS WE'RE GROWING OUR COACHES GROWING OUR TEACHERS IN THEIR PRACTICE, WHICH IN TURN SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE A DIRECT EFFECT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES, WHETHER IT'S MAP OR STAR OR THE COMMON FORMATIVES IT SHOULD.

THIS IS FIRST YEAR WE'VE DONE IT.

SHE'S GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR MIDDLE OF THE YEAR MAP DATA AND CALIBRATE THAT AND SEE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE HAVE POCKETS OF REALLY THIS IS REALLY THIS IS BEING EFFECTIVE. THIS WE ARE SEEING TEACHER GROWTH AND IS POSITIVELY IMPACTING STUDENT OUTCOMES.

SO, LORI I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

DO YOU ALL EVER IS ATOMIC HABITS BY JAMES CLEAR EVER BEEN PART OF THE PLC OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS? I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT.

I KNOW THE BOOK THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I'M SURE IN SOME CIRCLES IT'S BEEN USED.

THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE, MICHAEL, SOMETHING YOU SAID MADE ME THINK OF A QUOTE FROM THAT BOOK THAT I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY FIND.

AND THAT QUOTE IS THAT GOALS CAN PROVIDE DIRECTION AND EVEN PUSH YOU FORWARD IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT EVENTUALLY A WELL-DESIGNED SYSTEM.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING, IS THAT WHAT THE COACHES ARE HELPING TEACHERS FIND WILL ALWAYS WIN.

HAVING A SYSTEM IS WHAT MATTERS.

COMMITTING TO THE PROCESS IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

SO THE GOAL, THEY KNOW WHERE THE GOAL IS GOING TO BE, BUT HOW YOU GET THERE AND IF WE JUST FOCUS ON A GOAL, IT YOU MAY NOT AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE HOW, YOU DON'T KNOW THE HOW.

BUT I APPRECIATE SO MUCH HEARING THIS IS ABOUT CHANGING SYSTEMS. THE OTHER THING I REALLY APPRECIATE IS AND PEOPLE GO INTO TEACHING BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO THEY WELL, BACK IN THE DAY, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE WITH PEOPLE.

AND BEING A CLASSROOM TEACHER CAN BE ONE OF THE MOST ISOLATING AND LONELY EXPERIENCES.

YOU MAY HAVE 24 OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN THE ROOM WITH YOU, BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS QUESTIONING, AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? IS THIS? AM I? HOW AM I MAKING THIS? AND YOU FIND OUT WHEN YOUR EVALUATOR COMES IN ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR AND EVALUATES YOU ON THIS ONE SNAPSHOT.

AND SO BEING ABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND I'M SURE THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN AN ADJUSTMENT FOR MANY TEACHERS BECAUSE TEACHERS HAVE BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM VERY LONG, FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE AND THINK THAT THEY'RE DOING ALL THESE GREAT THINGS AND IN REMINDING ALL OF US HOW GROWTH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'LL SAY GROWTH IN THIS PRESENTATION, BUT THAT GROWTH MINDSET IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN PROVIDING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THAT TO CHANGE YOUR SYSTEMS, BECAUSE WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW LEARNING IS CHANGING AND KIDS ARE CHANGING.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FACILITATE THAT LEARNING IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

SO IT BOTH EXCITES ME.

BUT ALSO I IMAGINE ALSO THE REALITY IS THERE MAY BE CLASSROOM TEACHERS WAS LIKE, CAN YOU, CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME A BREAK? YEAH. AND SO IS THAT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR TEACHERS TO SAY, OKAY, I'VE BEEN REALLY WORKING HARD.

CAN I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS OF JUST WORKING, YOU KNOW.

OH, I'M SURE I SHE IS STELLAR.

I MEAN, I IT WAS AN AMAZING HIRE AND SHE'S DOING AN AMAZING JOB WITH OUR COACHES.

AND SHE'S MADE THE COMMENT SEVERAL TIMES.

I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE.

THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO.

AND YOU GUYS HAVE AN AMAZING GROUP OF COACHES THAT ARE SUPPORTING THESE CAMPUSES.

NOW SHE'S TEARING THE COACHES BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT MAKING THE GROWTH THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE, IT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION, A DIFFERENT COACHING SITUATION.

SO I DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

ASK ME THAT AGAIN. NO, BUT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE YOU QUESTIONED IF YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, WE ALL FACE.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE GOAL IS.

YEAH. THE GOALS ARE VERY, VERY SET.

RIGHT. BUT HOW YOU GET THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALWAYS QUESTION YOURSELF.

AND SO HAVING SOMEONE ELSE HELPING YOU AND I WOULD SAY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND MORE SUCCESS IF YOU'RE CHOOSING THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO FIRST.

AND SOMETIMES WE MAY AS HUMANS CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT'S A LOWER BALL JUST TO GET THAT SUCCESS EARLY.

[02:05:01]

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO JUST SAY, OKAY, NOT CARING WHAT THE GOAL IS, GETTING USED TO THE PROCESS, AND THEN HOPEFULLY PROVIDING THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE FEEL SAFE TO MAKE THAT LEAP OF, OKAY, IN IN ELEMENTARY, IF YOU'RE NOT DOING SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION, WHAT, WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT'S RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW? AS A SECOND SECONDARY TEACHER WHO WENT INTO FIFTH GRADE AND WENT, I HAD TO DO SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE THING I NEED TO WORK ON.

BUT ANYWAY IT PROVIDES A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO RISK IT FOR THE THINGS THEY THEY REALLY DO NEED TO WORK ON.

RIGHT. AND SO THIS YEAH, SOUNDS VERY, VERY EXCITING.

AND YES, I WOULD AGREE. WELL, IT'S A BIG WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT WE'RE ALREADY SEEING SOME AMAZING SHIFTS ON CAMPUS WITH JUST INSTRUCTION AND ANALYZING DATA. SHE MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

AND WE'VE SEEN THIS.

OUR TEACHERS, THEY PLAN WELL TOGETHER.

THEY HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.

BUT THE TRANSFERRING OF THAT INTO STRONG IMPLEMENTATION IN THE CLASSROOM FOR SOME IS OFTEN A CHALLENGE.

AND SO I THINK THIS WILL HELP WITH THAT LEAP.

WELL, I LOVE THE QUOTE.

SO WE MAY HAVE TO BORROW THAT.

I THINK ONE THING TO I KIND OF THINK OF IT AS A LITTLE BIT LIKE A PERSONAL TRAINER.

SO YOU HIRE A PERSONAL TRAINER BECAUSE YOU NEED TO GET IN SHAPE, YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT, YOU NEED TO GROW MUSCLES, WHATEVER THE WHATEVER YOUR REASON IS FOR GETTING A PERSONAL TRAINER. AND SOMETIMES IT'S HAVING THAT PERSONAL TRAINER THAT YOU START TO BUILD AND THEY'RE LIKE YOU KNOW, YOU IN ORDER TO WORK YOUR ABS, YOU'VE GOT TO WORK THESE OTHER PARTS BECAUSE THE WAY THE MUSCLES ARE CONNECTED, AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE WAY INSTRUCTION WORKS.

SO IT MAY BE THAT A TEACHER MAY PERCEIVE THIS AS AN AREA WHERE I DON'T FEEL AS COMFORTABLE OR CONFIDENT OR CONFIDENT, AND HAVING THAT COACH COME IN AND OBSERVE AND GIVE FEEDBACK, MODEL INSTRUCTION.

YOU MAY COME TO YOUR OWN REALIZATION OR THROUGH COACHING.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S REALLY NOT THIS, BUT IT'S THIS OTHER AREA THAT I REALLY NEED TO FOCUS THAT'S GOING TO GIVE ME A BIGGER BANG FOR MY BUCK.

AND SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED WITH, LIKE, THE SCIENCE OF READING IS YOU'RE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN THE PARTS OF READING.

AND SO HOW DO YOU HELP COACH AROUND THAT DETAIL? SAME THING WITH MATH.

THERE MAY BE AREAS OF OF MATH THAT I NEED TO.

THE TEACHER MAY REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THIS FUNDAMENTAL TO THEN TO BE ABLE TO ELEVATE THE THE INSTRUCTION TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT CONNECTS TO SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN MEASURE.

AND THAT'S THE THING WITH THIS PARTICULAR GROW LAB, IS THAT WE'RE ABLE THEN TO CAPTURE THOSE MEASUREMENTS ALONG THE WAY OF THE TEACHER AND NOT JUST THE TEACHER, BUT OF THE COACHES, BECAUSE WE ARE MAKING AN INVESTMENT AND HAVE BEEN EVERY YEAR WITH INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES.

BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A REALLY GOOD WAY OF CAPTURING WHETHER THERE WAS A RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT, WHERE NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY CONNECT IT BACK TO STUDENT OUTCOMES TO DETERMINE, ARE WE GOING TO SEE A RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT? IS THIS WORKING FOR US? AND AND ARE WE GETTING BETTER AS A RESULT OF SPENDING THE MONEY IN THIS WAY? WELL, I THINK THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT, WHAT IS IT CALLED GROW LAB? THE THE TEACHER CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE PROGRESS.

RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S IT'S A, IT'S NOT LIKE ONE AND DONE AND IT'S GONE.

IT'S THERE. AND THEY CAN REFER BACK TO IT AND GO, OH YEAH, I REMEMBER WHEN WE DID THAT.

AND YOU KNOW IT BECOMES CONCRETE, I WOULD THINK.

YEAH. DOCUMENTS, EVERYTHING.

ALL THE COACHING CONVERSATIONS, ALL THEIR GOALS, THE PROGRESS ON THOSE GOALS, ALL OF THAT.

I BET IT'S TIME CONSUMING TO DO THE DOCUMENTATION, BUT I IMAGINE THAT THE BENEFITS FROM THAT ARE, ARE IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD.

I WENT THROUGH THE TRAINING A COUPLE OF SUMMERS AGO IN AUSTIN.

WE TOOK A SMALL CORE DOWN THERE WITH US JUST TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.

AND BEFORE WE STARTED TO TAKE THAT LEAP AND DESIGN OUR OWN MODEL AND AND IT REALLY WASN'T VERY TAXING.

SO I'VE NOT HEARD THAT COMPLAINT.

THAT'S GOOD. I REALLY HAVE WE'VE NOT HEARD THAT AT ALL.

WELL, I THINK THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE TOO.

BUT THIS IS AN AMAZING STRATEGY TO GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

I THINK THIS THIS IS VERY TACTICAL.

THANK YOU. WE WE THINK SO TOO.

WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.

SO LORI, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION.

AND THE THING IS I ALSO TAUGHT YOU KNOW, COACHING IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S A GROWTH FOCUSED TOUCHPOINT FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR TEACHERS.

AND THE THING IS THAT I WAS ALSO LISTENING TO YOUR PRESENTATION.

WAS THAT WHEN YOU DID WHEN YOU DO YOU KNOW, UPDATES ON CURRICULUM? DO YOU DO IT TWICE A YEAR OR WHEN DO YOU OR ONCE A YEAR? OUR BIG OUR BIG UPDATES ARE USUALLY DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE WE BRING IN TEACHER LEADERS.

THEY APPLY FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND CURRICULUM RIGHT WITH US AS WELL.

AND BUT WE ADJUST DURING THE YEAR TOO.

I MEAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND IF WE REALIZE, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT AN ASSESSMENT AND YOU'VE GOT ACROSS THE BOARD A FOURTH GRADE FOURTH GRADERS AND THERE'S A REALLY LOW SCORE ON AN ITEM OR TWO.

OH, WOW. THEY HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME STANDARD.

[02:10:01]

WE GO BACK AND WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

AND IF THERE ARE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE THEN WE WE DO THAT AS WELL.

WE ALSO OVERANALYZE THE ITEM THAT'S ON THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY WAS APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT THEY WERE LEARNING AT THAT TIME.

YOU KNOW, LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE ANALYZE THAT.

SO WE DON'T WE DON'T WAIT UNTIL THAT JUST ONE BIG OPPORTUNITY.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR REVISED, WE'LL DO IT.

OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

I'M FROM LOOKING AT THE SLIDE.

ARE WE USING? I SAW OUR TARGETED SCHOOLS ON THERE.

SO ARE WE TRYING THIS FIRST TIME GO AROUND WITH OUR TARGETED SCHOOLS? BECAUSE WE'VE DECIDED THAT THESE ARE THE SCHOOLS THAT NEED OUR HELP RIGHT NOW.

IT'S ALL YES, THEY'RE PART OF THAT.

PICKED A TARGET.

BASICALLY IT'S ALL OF OUR TITLE CAMPUSES.

AND WITHIN THAT ARE OUR TARGETED CAMPUSES.

OKAY. SO SO THEN MY NEXT QUESTION IS HOW MUCH A PART OF A PART OF THEIR DAY.

A PART OF THEIR, YOU KNOW, WORK.

IS THIS BECAUSE IT'S NEW AND IT'S DIFFERENT, AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY GROWTH IS TAKING UP.

HOW MUCH OF THEIR ENERGY, EXTRA ENERGY IS IT? LET ME LET ME GET YOU A GOOD ANSWER FROM TAYLOR ON THAT SHE'D BE THE ONE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY BECAUSE SHE, YOU KNOW, SHE IN HER SCHEDULE, SHE SCHEDULES ONE ON ONE COACHING CONVERSATIONS. AND IT'S NOT A DAILY THING, BUT.

AND IT'S NOT A DAILY THING NECESSARILY THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE IN GROWTH LAB TRACKING THINGS.

SO LET ME GET AN ESTIMATE FOR HER.

AND I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE SOME MORE UPDATES FOR YOU GUYS.

YEAH. I'M I'M JUST I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS AWESOME.

BUT YEAH.

BUT YOU KNOW, I WELL, I'M KIND OF I'M KIND OF CHEATING BECAUSE I SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS.

NOT ON PURPOSE, GUYS. JUST DOING MY PTA THING.

AND I CAN JUST FEEL IN THE AIR THAT THERE'S A LOT OF STRESS, THAT THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON DOING A GOOD JOB, AND IT DOESN'T. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THERE'S LESS TIME FOR LIKE, MAYBE OTHER EXTRA THINGS.

AND THAT MEANS THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY NEED TO BE MORE COGNIZANT AS A CAMPUS COMMUNITY, MORE COGNIZANT THAT, OKAY, MAYBE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE OTHER THINGS THIS YEAR AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WE SHOULD.

I THINK THAT YOU BRING UP A REALLY GOOD POINT.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WITH HAVING A CONSISTENT INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL IS THAT THE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES THAT ARE HIRED AT EVERY SINGLE TITLE, ONE CAMPUS BECAUSE THEY'RE USING THEIR TITLE ONE DOLLARS, WHICH MEANS THAT SUPPLEMENTAL SHOULD NOT BE IN LIEU OF REGULAR OPERATIONS, BUT TO SUPPORT OVER AND BEYOND REGULAR OPERATIONS. AND I THINK THAT PRIOR YEARS, PERHAPS THERE WAS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN I'M GOING TO HAVE MY INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL OR MODEL MY INSTRUCTIONAL COACH GO DO THIS, GO DO THAT.

AND SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT BE SPENDING THEIR TIME IN IN INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING.

AND SO THIS REALLY KEEPS THE CONSISTENCY OF THESE POSITIONS WERE CREATED TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING AND TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT SO IT KEEPS IT CONSISTENT ACROSS EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS.

IT ALSO MEETS THE COMPLIANCE COMPONENT WITH TITLE ONE DOLLARS.

AND I WOULD SAY THEN THE THIRD THING IS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF OF THE WORK OF THE TIME AND OF OF, OF THESE POSITIONS.

AND SO SO PERHAPS IF IT'S A, A COACH THAT'S BEEN ON A CAMPUS AND MAYBE THEY GOT, THEY HAD SOME OTHER CAMPUS DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, MAYBE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE 80% OF THEIR TIME IS FOCUSED DIRECTLY ON PROVIDING INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING.

SO THAT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF A OF THE ADJUSTMENT.

AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO.

BECAUSE THESE ARE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE A HIGHER NEED.

AND OUR STUDENTS.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLOSING THE GAPS FOR OUR KIDS AND ESPECIALLY OUR KIDS THAT ARE IN HIGH NEED.

OKAY, SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

BECAUSE WHEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN I TALK TO TEACHERS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY LOVE ABOUT PLANO ISD IS WHAT THEY WOULD JUST SAY OR REFER TO AS SUPPORTS THAT THEY RECEIVED. AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

CAN YOU GIVE ME MORE? LIKE, TELL ME MORE WHAT YOU MEAN BY SUPPORTS? SO TO ME, THIS FOLLOWS THAT MODEL AS INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING AND TO FEEL SUPPORTED.

SO YOU'RE NOT FEELING LIKE WHAT JERRY WAS SAYING, THAT ISOLATED FEELING AS A TEACHER.

AND SO I KNOW THIS IS PAID FOR BY TITLE ONE FUNDS AND THAT THIS IS ONLY, WHAT, 26 OF OUR CAMPUSES.

IS IT POSSIBLE IN THE FUTURE? I MEAN, ASSUME ASSUMING FUNDING AND MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE THAT WOULD PREVENT US FROM DOING IT.

[02:15:03]

I WANT IT AT ALL OF OUR PLANO SCHOOLS.

YES, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE JOHNNY SWEAT DOWN THERE.

OH, I WILL. SORRY.

SORRY, JOHNNY.

YEAH. YEAH.

THESE WERE ALLOCATIONS THAT WERE ALREADY ON THESE TITLE ONE CAMPUSES.

WE JUST TOOK THE LEAP AND CREATED A VERY SPECIFIC JOB DESCRIPTION AND, AND AND TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A MATH AND A LITERACY COACH IF THEIR ALLOCATION, LIKE, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES THAT JUST HAVE ONE RIGHT VERSUS 2 OR 3.

AND SO ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE A MATH AND A LITERACY COACH THAT'S GOING THROUGH THIS TRAINING.

AND THEN IF YOU'RE A BILINGUAL CAMPUS, YOU ALSO HAVE THE THE, THE BLESSING OF A BILINGUAL COACH AS WELL.

AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THIS SAME PROCESS AS, AS WELL.

I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF MY CLASSMATES FROM LEADERSHIP TASBIH THIS MORNING, AND SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THEY'RE LOOKING AT SCHOOL CLOSURES, AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT SOME OTHER THINGS THAT SHE WAS WANTING OUR INPUT ON, AND SHE SAID THEY HAD TO GET RID OF ALL THEIR PLC BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PRETTY BIG THAT'S A PRETTY BIG THING TO HAVE TO GET RID OF. BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING AT AND TRYING TO MAKE THE BUDGET AND ALL THE THINGS.

AND SO YEAH, IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

AND SO THE BEST WE CAN DO TO INVEST IN IT AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT IS, YOU KNOW.

YEAH. WELL IT'S IT'S EXPENSIVE.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT REPORT.

GREAT DISCUSSION. THANK YOU SO MUCH LORI.

AND AND TO TAYLOR I KNOW SHE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW, BUT OKAY SO WE WILL MOVE ON.

[9.2 2026 - 2027 Academic Calendar Report Presentation]

WE ARE GOING TO JUMP BACK TO ITEM NINE TWO, WHICH IS OUR REPORT ON THE 2026 2027 ACADEMIC CALENDAR.

AND DR.

FREEMAN, I'LL TOSS IT TO YOU.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE WHO'S ALREADY UP HERE.

LESLIE STANTON, OUR CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, TO GIVE US AN UPDATE AND REPORT ON THE 2627 CALENDAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU, DR.

FREEMAN AND BOARD, I AM HAPPY TO PRESENT A VERY BRIEF REPORT THIS EVENING ON ACADEMIC CALENDAR PLANNING FOR THE 20 2627, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SCHOOL YEAR.

AS YOU RECALL, LAST YEAR WE AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE SURVEYING OF THE COMMUNITY, WE DEVELOPED TWO ACADEMIC CALENDARS.

20, 2425 AND 20 2526.

AND TAKING THAT FEEDBACK, WE HAVE PREPARED A DRAFT FOR THE COMING YEAR SO THAT WE CAN STAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AHEAD.

SO WITH THE CALENDAR DRAFT THAT WE WILL SEE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF THE WORK THAT WE DID LAST YEAR ON THE CALENDARS.

WE PRETTY MUCH PICKED UP THE CURRENT YEAR'S CALENDAR AND PLACED IT INTO 2627, AND WE HAVE STARTED VETTING THAT WITH A FEW GROUPS. THE VERSION OF THE CALENDAR THAT YOU ARE SEEING TONIGHT REFLECTS SOME INPUT AND SLIGHT CHANGES FROM THE COUPLE OF GROUPS THAT WE HAVE MET WITH, WITH OUR PLANO LEADERSHIP, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND OUR CABINET.

WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING FEEDBACK FROM OUR TEACHER LEADER COUNCIL AFTER PRESENTING THEM THE CALENDAR.

I THINK JUST LAST WEEK, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO OUR STUDENTS AND PTA GOING FORWARD AS WELL, JUST TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON REALLY, WE'RE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THIS CURRENT CALENDAR, SO WE'RE STILL LIVING IT OUT AND SEEING HOW IT GOES.

BUT WE'VE GOTTEN SOME SOME GOOD FEEDBACK SO FAR.

OUR NEXT STEPS WILL BE TO WELL, WE'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT'S DRAFT, AND THEN WE HOPE TO COME BACK WITH A CALENDAR TO OFFER FOR APPROVAL AT OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING IN DECEMBER.

SO LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR FOR 2627, IT IS VERY SIMILAR IN FROM START TO FINISH WITH THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT WE'RE SITTING IN RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE LOOKING AGAIN AT A POSSIBLE START DATE.

YOU KNOW, STARTING DATE OF ON A TUESDAY.

SO THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WOULD ACTUALLY BE AUGUST 11TH.

AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE SIMILAR DAYS OFF VERY MUCH LIKE THIS YEAR AND INCLUDING THOSE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES THAT YOU GUYS WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT.

CARVING OUT TIME FOR THOSE IN OCTOBER AND AGAIN IN FEBRUARY.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE CALENDAR ITSELF.

SOME OF THE FEEDBACK ALREADY HAS BEEN JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT THE APRIL TIME, YOU KNOW, WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT

[02:20:04]

AND THEN WE MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS JUST BASED ON THE, THE, THE OTHER FEEDBACK FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR.

WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE DO VERY MUCH ENJOY FALL BREAK.

SO WE FACTOR THAT ONCE AGAIN INTO THE CALENDAR.

AND, AND AGAIN, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY TO TRY TO END BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS CALENDAR LOOKS LIKE.

ENDING BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.

SO WITH THAT INFORMATION I WILL ACCEPT QUESTIONS, BUT I ALSO KNOW AND I BROUGHT MY NOTEBOOK BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS OFFER FEEDBACK.

SO DOES ANYONE HAVE FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CALENDAR? YEAH. WELL, OKAY.

I'M SORRY. THE THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR FIRST DAY FOR NEW TEACHERS, JULY 28TH.

IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE JUST KEEP JULY OPEN AND NOT HAVE ANYBODY COME BACK THAT EARLY? BECAUSE, I MEAN, IS THERE SO THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE EVERYBODY CAN HAVE JULY OFF.

OKAY. I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE THE QUESTIONS I WON'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER FOR SURE FOR NOW, UNTIL WE GO BACK AND RECONFIGURE AND POSSIBLY LOOK INTO THOSE. BUT I'M WRITING DOWN THAT JULY IS EARLY FOR NEW TEACHERS AND FOR ANYBODY FOR JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, TO STAFF.

BECAUSE THE THING IS THAT WE WANT TO GIVE THEM A FULL MONTH OFF, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE JUNE AND JULY, TWO MONTHS OFF.

SO, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING, YOU KNOW, A MONTH OF JUNE AND THEN A MONTH OF PARTS, A MONTH OF JULY AND THEN HAVING TO COME BACK TO WORK JULY 28TH FOR NEW TEACHERS.

I FEEL SORRY FOR OUR NEW TEACHERS.

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT WE WANT THEM TO HAVE.

WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE AND JULY.

TWO FULL MONTHS OFF.

OKAY, I'M JOTTING THAT DOWN.

WHEN WE GO BACK, THE CALENDAR'S LIKE A REALLY BIG MATH PROBLEM.

AND SO IT TAKES ME TIME, BECAUSE MATH IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT.

BUT WE HAVE A GREAT COLLABORATIVE TEAM WHO HELPS OUT WITH THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

OKAY, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION.

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK FROM TEACHERS ABOUT STARTING ON A TUESDAY? I HAVE, WE HAVE.

SO THE TEACHER LEADER COUNCIL MOST RECENTLY, AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THEY DO PREFER A WEDNESDAY START.

YEAH. AND I NOTICED ON HERE THOUGH THAT MEMORIAL DAY IS NOT TILL THE 31ST.

SO THAT'S REALLY GIVING THEM A LOT OF EXTRA TIME BEFORE FOR YOU KNOW FAMILIES WANT MEMORIAL DAY.

THAT'S A GET A BONUS WEEK IN THERE.

THAT SEEMS EARLY. I DID GET SOME FEEDBACK.

AND THIS LAST WEEK, I HAD SOMEONE REACH OUT TO ME VERY UPSET THAT THAT TEACHERS HAD TO GO, THAT WE HAD TO HAVE SCHOOL ON A FRIDAY AFTER HALLOWEEN. OH.

AND SO THEY'RE LIKE, IS THERE? THERE'S THAT FEEDBACK. BUT GOOD NEWS IS AND THE NEXT TWO HALLOWEENS ARE ON A WEEKEND.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS LESLIE, UNTIL THE YEAR 2728.

OKAY. I FIGURED IT OUT FOR YOU.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST PUT A NOTE IN IT FOR 2728.

CONSIDER HALLOWEEN, CONSIDER HALLOWEEN, AND WE HAVE HAD THAT FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS BEFORE.

SO JERI, CAN YOU REITERATE, I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FRIDAY THAT THE HAVING HALLOWEEN AND THEN HAVING TO GO TO SCHOOL ON A FRIDAY AFTER HALLOWEEN WAS JUST VERY TAXING.

IT IS ACTUALLY, I'M MAKING FUN, BUT IT'S IT'S A HARD DAY TO KIDS ARE ALL BEEN, YOU KNOW, STAYED UP LATE ALL THE SUGAR AND THEN YOU.

THEY'RE ALL SUGARED UP.

THANK GOODNESS THERE WASN'T A FULL MOON THIS YEAR.

BUT ALL THOSE FACTORS IN A COLD FRONT JUST REALLY MAKE FOR A DIFFICULT DAY.

SO IT'S JUST A MOVIE? WELL, NO, BECAUSE WE HAVE GROW LAB AND AND AND GUIDED GOALS AND WE CAN'T DO THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, I WAS AMUSED.

BUT I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS FUN TO LOOK AT THE CALENDAR TO SEE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE UNTIL 27, 28.

AND YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY BEING A LITTLE BIT LATER.

SO THAT'S AN AREA THAT WE WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT AS WELL.

AND WAS THERE ONE MORE.

OKAY. SO THAT'S FEEDBACK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I GUESS I WOULD JUST ASK.

I REMEMBER TAMMY WOULD ALWAYS SAY THIS.

IS THERE A PATHWAY BUILT IN FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE A CHANCE TO VISIT THEIR COLLEGE CAMPUS IF THEY'RE LOOKING FOR COLLEGES? YEAH, I THINK FALL BREAK.

BEFORE WE START, TO REMEMBER WE HAD MANY FALL BREAK.

NOW WE HAVE THE FULL WEEK.

FULL WEEK FOR FALL BREAK.

WELL, THERE YOU GO. YOU'VE GOT THAT COVERED.

AND THAT'S WHEN THE COLLEGE IS OPEN.

IT'S NOT A WEEKEND SO YOU'VE DONE IT.

THANKS. I MEAN I'M ACTUALLY REALLY HAPPY ABOUT FALL BREAK.

I MEAN THAT ONE WEEK OFF AND I DO HAVE A SENIOR.

[02:25:01]

SO I GUESS IT WAS LAST YEAR.

THE FEEDBACK WAS, YOU KNOW, FALL BREAK IS THE GIFT WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE WANTED.

YEAH. AND PEOPLE WERE I MEAN REALLY AND THEY WERE THEY WERE HAPPY AT FIRST THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN, BUT PEOPLE ARE REALLY LIKING IT, ESPECIALLY THE STUDENTS.

AND WE HEARD FROM OUR STUDENTS ADVISORY GROUP THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR.

AND SEVERAL OF THEM USED THAT WEEK TO GO ACTUALLY VISIT COLLEGES.

AND SO I THINK IT'S REALLY TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD WEEK.

AND I THINK ALSO TOO THAT'S AROUND THE TIME THAT THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, THE NEWNESS STARTS TO WEAR OFF.

AND SO IT'S GOOD FOR, I THINK, OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AWAY OR A DAY OR TWO AWAY FROM, FROM THE CLASSROOM TO, TO TRULY TAKE A BREAK. SO, YEAH, LET'S SEE, LOOKING AT THIS, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF WHITE SPACE BETWEEN MARCH 30TH AND MAY 21ST.

AND SO THAT'S A HARD THAT'S A HARD TIME OF YEAR TO BE TEACHING ANYWAY TO NOT HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR A BREAK.

IT'S ALSO A GREAT TIME FOR JUNIORS TO GO SEE A COLLEGE CAMPUS IN THE SPRING BEFORE THEIR SENIOR YEAR, IF THEY'RE STARTING.

I MEAN, IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS, I'M JUST GIVING SOME RATIONALE.

THAT'S A LONG BREAK.

OR NOT HAVING A BREAK A LONG TIME WITHOUT A BREAK.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THAT THAT ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM OTHER GROUPS.

THE THING WAS, WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT, JERI AND LESLIE, THE THING THAT WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT FOR THE WHOLE APRIL, ACTUALLY, TEACHERS NEED THAT APRIL MONTH TO BE WORKING BECAUSE THEY'RE PREPARING LESSONS IN FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR TESTING.

SO. WELL, IT MAY BE THE TESTING SET.

THE TESTING CYCLE IS WHAT MAY CAUSE ALL THE DISRUPTION, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN ALL THE TESTING IS HAPPENING IS DURING THAT TIME.

RIGHT. IN APRIL, MOSTLY THE BULK OF STAAR OR.

YEAH. YEAH. SO THERE'S A LOT OF PREPARATION IN APRIL IN AP FOR AP AND FOR ALL THAT.

YEAH. SO I MEAN, I THINK IT'D BE HARD TO PUT A DAY OFF IN APRIL.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT? WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE CALENDAR.

I'M SORRY. I WAS LOOKING AT IT.

WE HAVE THE 29TH.

THAT'S REALLY CLOSE TO SPRING BREAK.

AND SO PERHAPS THAT COULD BE PUSHED BACK A WEEK OR TWO JUST TO SPACE OUT THAT TIME.

IS THAT NOT. ISN'T THAT THE SENTENCE THE MONDAY AFTER EASTER, THOUGH? YEAH. OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I KNOW, IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, SPINNING PLATES AND JUGGLING AND RIDING A UNICYCLE ALL AT ONCE, RIGHT? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[9.4 Skyward Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Student Information System (SIS) Implementation Update Presentation]

AND I'M HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE.

AND I'M GOING TO TOSS THIS OVER TO PATRICK TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY.

DR. WILLIAMS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

TONIGHT, WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD A UPDATE ON OUR SKYWARD IMPLEMENTATION THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THIS PAST YEAR.

HAVING GONE LIVE WITH OUR STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM BACK IN JULY.

WE CONTINUE TO MAKE POSITIVE ENHANCEMENTS AND GROWTH IN AND OUR IMPROVEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM AND OUR ADOPTION OF THAT SYSTEM.

AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BRING JUST SOME UPDATES TO BRING YOU UP TO SPEED ON, ON THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE, AS WELL AS GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH OUR ERP AND, AND HOW WE LOOK IN TERMS OF OUR GO LIVE IN JANUARY FOR THE ERP SYSTEM.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. GREG GRIMES, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS. AND HE'S GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, DR. TANNER, PRESIDENT HUMPHREY, DR.

WILLIAMS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CABINET, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF A RECAP OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND THEN WHERE WE'RE GOING FORWARD WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT.

AND WITH THAT, I WANTED TO KIND OF BACK UP A LITTLE BIT AND START BACK AT THE BEGINNING WITH, WHY ARE WE IMPLEMENTING SKYWARD? JUST TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, REFRESH EVERYBODY ON.

WHY ARE WE GOING THROUGH THIS? THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS.

WE KNEW GOING IN IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT.

IT HAS NOT LET US DOWN.

THERE'S CERTAINLY BEEN PLENTY OF CHALLENGES.

THE TEAM HAS BEEN PUTTING IN AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK.

SOMETIMES 70, 80, 90 HOURS A WEEK GETTING THINGS GOING.

SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KIND OF REFRESH.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS WORK? ONE OF THOSE KEY THINGS WAS SOME CHANGES THAT THE STATE MADE WITH OUR REPORTING STANDARDS.

[02:30:04]

TEXAS HAS ADOPTED THAT.

SO WE'VE MOVED FROM A CYCLE WHERE WE HAVE TO REPORT DATA TO THE STATE ROUGHLY QUARTERLY.

EVERYBODY IS PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH YOU KNOW, THE FALL SNAPSHOT AND SOME OF THOSE, THOSE KEY DATES IN THE PAST, WE HAD A LOT OF TIME AND DID PUT IN A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO CLEANING UP DATA MAKING SURE EVERYTHING WAS MATCHING AND IN THE CORRECT FORMATS AND CLEANING UP ANY INCORRECT.

RECORDS AND THEN SUBMITTING THAT TO THE STATE.

WITH EDIFY, WE'RE GOING TO A.

PROCESS WHERE WE HAVE TO REPORT DAILY TO THE STATE.

SO IT'S A REAL. TIME.

HAVING THAT DATA CORRECT IN THE MOMENT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT HAS.

BEEN IN THE PAST.

AND TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT THAT MECHANISM OUR EXISTING SYSTEM FRONTLINE TEAMS WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PACK AS FAR.

AS COMPLIANCE AND READINESS FOR THAT PROCESS.

SO TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT.

WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WE NEEDED TO LOOK AT A, A PARTNER WITH US THAT WOULD.

BE ABLE TO, TO HELP US THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND GIVE US THE TOOLS WE NEEDED TO.

BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE COMMITMENTS TO THE STATE WITH OUR DATA REPORTING SKYWARD.

IS IN SEVERAL HUNDRED DISTRICTS ACROSS TEXAS.

THAT IS ALL THEY DO IS K-12 SOFTWARE.

THEY DON'T DO COLLEGES. THEY DON'T DO.

ANY OTHER SORT OF SOFTWARE, STRICTLY FOCUSED K-12.

AND THEY HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF READINESS.

WORKING WITH THE STATE, BEING PREPARED FOR THAT AD FI SOLUTION THE FRONT LINE TEAMS SUPPORT IN GENERAL.

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS GONE DOWNHILL QUITE A BIT.

WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO GET RESPONSES WHEN WE NEED TO.

WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE SUPPORT AND THE HELP OR THE HAVING THE SYSTEMS AVAILABLE LIKE WE NEEDED.

SKYWARD HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER SO FAR WITH US.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE.

THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THEY'VE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE AND IMPLEMENTING SOME OF THOSE SO FAR.

SOME OTHER ONES. THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH US TO IMPLEMENT SO WE REALLY NEEDED A PARTNER THAT COULD TAKE OUR CHALLENGES AND HELP US FIND SOLUTIONS AND NOT BE SOMEBODY WE WERE FIGHTING AGAINST TO TRY TO GET SUPPORT AND LIMP ALONG WITH A SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT MEETING OUR NEEDS ANYMORE.

ANOTHER THING WE WERE LOOKING TO DO WAS TRY TO COMBINE SOME OF OUR DISPARATE SYSTEMS. JUST FROM A SUPPORT STANDPOINT, FROM A COST STANDPOINT, HAVING SO MANY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS, KEY SYSTEMS REQUIRES A LOT OF EXTRA LABOR AND A CHANCE FOR ERROR. SO HAVING A DIFFERENT GRADE BOOK THAT WAS SEPARATE FROM THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM THAT WAS JUST DIFFERENT FROM THE PARENT PORTAL AND TRYING TO MOVE ALL THAT DATA BACK AND FORTH.

THAT'S JUST A LOT OF WORK.

AND PARENT PORTAL.

IT WAS IT WAS A GREAT SOLUTION.

IT WAS CUSTOMIZED IN HOUSE.

AND SO THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF WORK.

AND WITH THE WAY THAT SECURITY HAS GONE THE LAST FEW YEARS JUST THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES TO KEEP THAT GOING TO KEEP THINGS SECURE WITH THAT DATA IS JUST REALLY IT WASN'T COST EFFECTIVE ANYMORE.

SO WE NEEDED REALLY AN ALL IN ONE SOLUTION AND PACKAGE.

SO, I JUST FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KIND OF SET THE TABLE FOR WHY ARE WE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'VE ALL HEARD, THERE IS A LOT TO IT, A LOT, A LOT OF CHANGE.

CHANGE ALWAYS MAKES PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, NERVOUS.

IT REQUIRES A LARGE INVESTMENT ON OUR PART, ON THE TRAINING.

AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP IN MIND WHY WE'RE GOING WHERE WE ARE.

AND THEN JUST A QUICK RECAP ON WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE SAY ERP AND STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.

THE ERP SIDE IS THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, HUMAN RESOURCES PAYROLL TIME CLOCK, ASSET MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEE PORTAL.

THAT'S REALLY THE KIND OF THE BACK END OPERATIONAL PIECE THAT'S NOT OUR NOT KEY TO OUR GOAL OF EDUCATING STUDENTS.

THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IS MORE THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE OF MANAGING STUDENTS AND EVERYTHING AROUND THOSE STUDENTS.

SO CAMPUS OFFICE AND ADMINISTRATION, GRADEBOOK, ATTENDANCE, ENROLLMENT, THE FAMILY ACCESS OR PARENT PORTAL.

AND OUR STATE REPORTING, WE DO REPORT A LITTLE BIT OF ERP INFORMATION TO THE STATE.

BUT IT IS IT IS GEARED MORE TOWARDS THE STUDENT SIDE FOR THAT GOING THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS.

WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS AND WE'VE COVERED THIS BEFORE, SO I'LL GO THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICKLY.

BUT FOR BOTH ERP AND SIS, WE HAD A PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO DO PRELIMINARY MIGRATIONS AND GO THROUGH TESTING AND REFINING THE PROCESS.

[02:35:03]

THAT'S THE PIECE THAT WE WENT LIVE WITH ACTUALLY ALL THE WAY BACK IN FEBRUARY FOR SCHEDULING FOR THIS YEAR.

AND THEN WE WENT FULLY LIVE ON THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IN JULY, AND WE WILL BE GOING FULLY LIVE ON THE ERP SYSTEM COME JANUARY.

AND THEN SIMILAR TO THAT THE PRELIM THE VARIOUS PHASES FOR EACH DATA MIGRATION MULTIPLE PRELIM PHASES AND THEN OUR GO LIVE PHASE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TARGETING FOR ERP IN JANUARY.

AND THEN FOR EACH THERE'S AN ANCILLARY PHASE, WHICH IS THE ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL MIGRATIONS AFTER OUR GO LIVE.

AND WE'RE STILL GOING THROUGH THOSE ON THE STUDENT SIDE THAT THAT LAST PHASE FOR THE ANCILLARY MIGRATIONS.

AND WE'LL COVER THOSE IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES.

SO GOING BACK TO THE DATA MIGRATIONS COMPLETED AND IN PROGRESS, I'LL GO THROUGH THE COMPLETED ONES HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.

IT WAS REALLY JUST KIND OF REFERENCE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE BEEN GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO OUR FIRST PRELIMINARY MIGRATION WAS JUST ALMOST A YEAR AGO, BACK TO THE END OF NOVEMBER OF, OF LAST YEAR.

AND SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF PHASES OF MIGRATIONS AND WORK.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE THE TWO STUDENT, THE TWO SIS ANCILLARY MIGRATIONS THAT ARE STILL GOING ON.

SO ATTENDANCE HISTORY AND BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT HISTORY, OUR DISCIPLINE HISTORY ARE STILL GOING ON.

SO THESE ARE GOING BACK AND TAKING THE HISTORICAL DATA FOR PRIOR YEARS AND GETTING THAT INFORMATION OVER INTO THE LIVE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW THAT'S STILL AVAILABLE TO US TO DEPARTMENT STAFF OR TO CAMPUSES, BUT THEY HAVE TO GO TO TEAMS TO GET THAT.

SO AT THE END OF END OF DECEMBER, WE SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN IN OUR CORE SYSTEM AND SKYWARD.

AND WE'LL GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE THINGS WE'VE ADDED SINCE WE LAST TALKED.

SO THE GREAT HISTORY MIGRATION, WHICH IS ONE OF THOSE ANCILLARY MIGRATIONS, IS COMPLETED.

WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR GPA CALCULATIONS SET UP AND TESTED, AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RUN OUR FIRST ROUND OF TRANSCRIPTS.

TRANSCRIPTS. AND OUR MAP TESTING OR BOTH IN SKYWARD.

AVAILABLE AND FAMILY ACCESS ARE AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS OR TO CAMPUS STAFF.

SO, THE TRANSCRIPTS WILL SHOW UP UNDER THE PORTFOLIO TAB.

THERE'S A DOWNLOAD. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD A PDF.

WE DID HAVE SKYWARD DO A CUSTOM PROGRAMING CHANGE FOR US TO SUPPORT OUR, OUR POLICY OF ONLY SHOWING THE RANK FOR THE TOP 10%. AND SO YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE THERE AT THE TOP OF WHAT A TRANSCRIPT LOOKS LIKE WHEN A STUDENT IS IN THE TOP 10%.

IT'LL SHOW THE RANK.

AND THEN OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 10%, YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE THERE ON THE BOTTOM SHOWS THE CUMULATIVE GPA.

BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW THE CLASS RANK.

SO THAT THAT WAS ONE OF OUR CONDITIONS OF SALE.

SKYWARD DID MEET THAT. WE DID HAVE THAT READY TO GO WHEN WE NEEDED IT TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

OUR MAP RESULTS HAVE BEEN LOADED UP IN SKYWARD AND AVAILABLE IN FAMILY ACCESS.

SO FAR WE HAVE THE BEGINNING OF YEAR.

THOSE ARE BROKEN OUT BY ALGEBRA.

LANGUAGE USAGE, MATHEMATICS, READING AND SCIENCE.

WHEN WE GET TO THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR RESULTS THERE'LL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF THOSE WILL BE LOADED.

WE BROKE THOSE OUT AND NAMED THOSE THAT WAY.

BECAUSE OF THE WAY SKYWARD DISPLAYS THINGS, WE TRY TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO PARENTS WHAT TESTS ARE DOWNLOADING SO THAT IT'S VERY CLEAR.

IT'S. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE THE SCREENSHOT THERE.

BUT WE WENT THROUGH A COUPLE ITERATIONS OF HOW TO DISPLAY THOSE AND COME UP WITH A WAY TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE PARENTS' WHAT DATA THEY'RE LOOKING AT TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN GET THE RIGHT TEST.

AND THEN WHEN THEY PULL UP MAP AND FAMILY ACCESS IT SHOWS THE TEST DETAILS.

AND THEN THE RESULT DETAILS.

THE WRIT SCORES. THE PERCENTILES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS A NEW UTILITY THAT'S AVAILABLE IN SKYWARD IS AN AT RISK AUTOMATED CODING.

AND SO THIS UTILITY NIGHTLY GOES OUT AND LOOKS AT THE CRITERIA THAT'S BEEN DEFINED.

AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THAT THERE.

AND THEN IT TAKES WHAT'S ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM.

SO GRADES TEST RESULTS.

AND THEN THE THRESHOLDS THAT HAVE BEEN SET AND THEN APPLIES THE AT RISK CODING AUTOMATICALLY.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER ADMINISTRATIVE PIECE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE AND MAKE YOU KNOW, FREE UP MORE TIME THAT CAMPUSES AND DEPARTMENT STAFF CAN FOCUS ON

[02:40:03]

IT ALSO BRINGS IT TO THE CAMPUSES, TO THE TEACHERS, MUCH FASTER, SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS THAT RUNS EVERY NIGHT.

ONCE ANY OF THOSE AREAS ARE CODED, THEN THERE'S INDICATORS THAT WILL SHOW UP IN THE GRADEBOOK AND ON THE STUDENT RECORD IN THE SIS, INDICATING THAT THAT STUDENT IS AT RISK, AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HOVER OVER EACH OF THOSE INDICATORS AND SEE WHAT THAT IS.

WHEN THEY CLICK ON THAT, THEN THEY CAN SEE THE AT RISK SPECIFIC AT RISK CRITERIA FOR THAT STUDENT.

EMERGENCY CONTACTS HAS BEEN A BIG TOPIC BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT TEAMS HANDLED IDENTITIES.

AND PARENTS WERE DUPLICATED SO MANY TIMES ACROSS MULTIPLE RECORDS.

THERE WAS JUST NOT AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO MIGRATE THE EMERGENCY CONTACTS.

SO, IT DID REQUIRE GUARDIANS AND PARENTS TO LOG INTO SKYWARD FAMILY ACCESS TO FILL OUT THE ANNUAL FORMS AND ADD EMERGENCY CONTACTS.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND APPROVED.

THERE ARE STILL SOME STRAGGLERS, PARENTS THAT HAVE NOT FILLED OUT THOSE FORMS. THAT'S BEEN THE CASE EVERY YEAR.

WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN 100%.

AND THAT'LL PROBABLY ALWAYS BE THE CASE.

ONCE THE FORM'S COMPLETED THE CAMPUS ENROLLMENT CLERK RECEIVES THE FORM TO APPROVE.

WE ARE WE ARE DOWN TO A VERY SMALL NUMBER IN THE QUEUE FOR CAMPUS TO APPROVE.

LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE HAD A PRETTY BIG BACKLOG OF THOSE.

AND THE CAMPUSES DID A GREAT JOB OF GOING IN AND CLEARING THOSE OUT.

AND THAT APPROVAL PROCESS IS NECESSARY JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT SKYWARD DOES ENFORCE TRYING TO KEEP ONE PERSON AS A SINGLE RECORD SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THOSE DUPLICATES IN THAT SAME DATA PROBLEM WE HAD IN TEAMS. BUT IT DOES REQUIRE SOMEBODY TO GO IN AND MAKE A JUDGMENT ON IS THE JOHN SMITH THAT'S ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM, THE SAME JOHN SMITH YOU'RE TRYING TO ADD NOW? AND THERE'S JUST SIMPLY NO WAY TO AUTOMATE THAT PROCESS WITHOUT LETTING IT GET OUT OF HAND AGAIN SO THAT THAT APPROVAL IS REQUIRED ONCE THOSE EMERGENCY CONTACTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FROM THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION FORMS CURRENTLY, PARENTS HAVE TO CONTACT THE CAMPUS TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THOSE CONTACTS OR TO ADD AN INITIAL CONTACT. WE ARE WORKING WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER CUMULATIVE DISTRICTS ON HOW THEY'VE COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS, AND WE SHOULD HAVE A SOLUTION, HOPEFULLY PRETTY SOON, FOR PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO GO IN AND MAKE THOSE UPDATES THROUGH FAMILY ACCESS.

ATTENDANCE NOTES AND LETTERS HAS BEEN ANOTHER BIG TOPIC.

WE DID HAVE SOME SOME CAMPUSES THAT GOT A LITTLE EXCITED ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR PARENTS TO SUBMIT ATTENDANCE NOTES IN SKYWARD. AND THEY COMMUNICATED THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

WE CERTAINLY PREFER THAT SOLUTION, BUT WE'VE GOTTEN WORD OUT TO CAMPUSES TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT PARENTS CAN STILL TURN IN PAPER NOTES AS WELL AS UTILIZING SKYWARD FAMILY ACCESS.

SO THEY DO HAVE TO OFFER BOTH OPTIONS.

IF A PARENT BRINGS OUR SENSE OF PAPER NOTE IN, IT WILL BE SCANNED IN AND ATTACHED IN SKYWARD.

SO WE DID PROVIDE ANY CAMPUSES THAT DID NOT HAVE SCANNERS IN THE FRONT OFFICE SCANNERS OVER THE SUMMER.

SO WE WILL HAVE, EITHER WAY THOSE ELECTRONIC ATTENDANCE RECORDS.

BUT PARENTS DO HAVE THE OPTION OF SENDING IN A PAPER NOTE AS WELL.

WE HAVE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE OUT TO PARENTS THAT THEY NEED TO GIVE CLERKS TIME TO PROCESS THE NOTE.

SO IF THEY GO IN AND SUBMIT IT THIS MORNING, THEY GO CHECK THIS AFTERNOON THAT ATTENDANCE CLERK HAS BEEN BUSY ALL DAY.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING TO SHOW UP IMMEDIATELY.

AND THEN THE ATTENDANCE LETTERS THAT IS NOW AN AUTOMATED PROCESS IN SKYWARD.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT KIND OF GOT BLAMED ON SKYWARD AS BEING A GLITCH OR A PROBLEM.

AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS, IS IT IS BRINGING US IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENT.

SO WE ARE REQUIRED TO LET A PARENT KNOW AT THREE, FIVE AND SEVEN ABSENCES THAT THEIR STUDENT HAS BEEN ABSENT IN THE PAST. THAT WAS A MANUAL PROCESS WITH TEAMS, SO OFFICE STAFF HAD TO COMPILE THOSE, HAD TO MAKE A LIST, FIGURE OUT WHO TO CONTACT.

SO IF YOUR STUDENT MISSED A WEEK BY THE TIME WE GOT AROUND TO, YOU NEED A THREE DAY OR THREE ABSENCE LETTER.

WELL, THEY'VE ALREADY MISSED FIVE.

AND IF SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED, MAYBE THEY'VE MISSED SEVEN.

AND SO IN THE IN THE PAST PARENTS DID NOT CONSISTENTLY GET THOSE LETTERS.

WELL NOW IT'S AUTOMATED.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE OFF OF CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION.

THAT'S A MENIAL TASK THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO DO.

AND IT ALSO GETS THE PARENTS THAT TIMELY INFORMATION.

THE OTHER PIECE THAT'S BEEN VERY CONFUSING IS BUT MY STUDENT WAS EXCUSED.

IT DOESN'T MATTER AS FAR AS THE STATE REQUIREMENT.

IF YOUR STUDENT IS SICK AND IT'S AN EXCUSED ABSENCE, THEY WERE STILL ABSENT.

[02:45:01]

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON EDUCATING PARENTS THROUGH OUR UPDATE, OUR CAMPAIGN FOR INFORMATION.

WE'VE MET WITH THE PTA COUNCIL TO TRY TO ENLIST THEIR HELP TO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT.

IT IS A CHANGE. IT IS DIFFERENT.

BUT IT'S A GOOD CHANGE.

AND ONCE EVERYBODY GETS USED TO IT, IT'LL BE.

IT'LL BE A VERY GOOD CHANGE.

THE END OF END OF LAST MONTH, WE POSTED REPORT CARDS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SKYWARD.

SECONDARY WAS POSTED ON THE 23RD OF OCTOBER.

ELEMENTARY WAS POSTED ON THE 24TH OF OCTOBER.

THAT ALSO SHOWS UP IN THE PORTFOLIO TILE.

IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE THERE, BUT AS OPPOSED TO THE TRANSCRIPT YOU SAW EARLIER THAT HAD A JUST A DOWNLOAD ICON.

THIS HAS A LITTLE, LOOKS LIKE A HAND WITH A PEN ICON, AND THAT'S AN INDICATION THAT IT'S GOT AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE REQUIRED.

SO WHEN THE PARENT CLICKS ON THAT ICON, IT'S GOING TO PROMPT THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ELECTRONICALLY SIGN THAT THEY ARE ACCESSING THE REPORT CARD.

AND THAT'S REALLY HARD TO READ THE TEXT THERE THAT THE THING I REALLY WANTED YOU TO SEE AT THE BOTTOM WAS THEY CAN PUT IN THEY CHECK.

I AGREE IT GIVES THEM THAT ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE AND DATE AND THEN THEY CLICK SAVE AND THEY CAN MOVE ON TO THE REPORT CARD.

BY POLICY, IN THE PAST, WE WERE PARENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO SIGN THE REPORT CARDS AND SEND THEM BACK.

THAT WAS CERTAINLY A IF IT WAS BEING DONE, A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCESS.

AND IN A LOT OF CASES, IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THOSE BACK WITH THIS, WITH AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE CAMPUS IS GOING TO RUN REPORTS.

THEY CAN SEE WHICH PARENTS HAVE SIGNED ELECTRONICALLY, WHICH ONES HAVE NOT, AND MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP ON WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE OF HOW THEIR STUDENT IS PERFORMING. WE STARTED BACK TOWARDS THE 1ST OF SEPTEMBER KIND OF A COMMUNICATIONS BLITZ TO GET FEATURES AND INFORMATION OUT TO PARENTS ABOUT SOME OF THE FEATURES WE REALLY WANT THEM TO BE AWARE OF, OR SOME OF THE ISSUES WE WANT THEM TO BE AWARE OF AND SCOURED.

SO ABSENCE NOTES WAS ONE OF THOSE FIRST ONES.

WE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE OUT ABOUT WHY THEY'RE GETTING ATTENDANCE LETTERS AND HOW TO SUBMIT THEIR ATTENDANCE NOTES.

WE WERE COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR, THEIR CHILD'S TEACHER COMMUNICATION REGARDING MISSING ASSIGNMENTS HOW TO VIEW TRANSPORTATION BUS ROUTES WITHIN THE FAMILY ACCESS HOW TO DO THAT STUDENT INFORMATION UPDATE.

WE JUST COVERED WITH EMERGENCY CONTACTS.

HOW TO GO IN AND SEE A LITTLE MORE SPECIALIZED SCHEDULE SITUATIONS LIKE ROTATIONS OF COURSES.

AS WE STARTED TO GET CLOSER TO THE END OF THE NINE WEEKS, WE GOT INTO THE INFORMATION ABOUT GRADES AND REPORT CARDS.

AND THEN 1ST OF OCTOBER, WE SENT OUT AN ANNUAL REGISTRATION REMINDER TO, TO PICK UP ALL OF THOSE PARENTS WHO HAD NOT GONE IN AND DONE THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION YET.

AND THEN ON THESE SOME OF THESE KEY TOPICS WE ACTUALLY IN OCTOBER WENT BACK AND HIT THESE AGAIN.

SO A LOT OF THESE HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY COMPLETED TWICE.

AND THE FAMILY UPDATES THAT WENT OUT JUST TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THAT MESSAGE OUT.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN TRYING TO PUBLICIZE OUR FAMILY ACCESS SUPPORT SITE.

SO AS WE GET COMMON PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS, WE'RE UPDATING THOSE CONSTANTLY.

AND ON THOSE ONCE YOU CLICK ONTO THERE, WE'RE GIVING STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON EITHER HOW TO GO THROUGH IT AND COMPLETE A TASK. OR IN THE EXAMPLE ON THE RIGHT THERE ONE CONFUSING PIECE FOR PARENTS WAS THAT THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION, THE INITIAL TILE SAYS NEW. THEN WHEN YOU START WORKING ON IT, IT SAYS IN PROGRESS.

ONCE YOU SUBMITTED IT TO THE CAMPUS, IT SAYS SUBMITTED AND SHOWS THE DATE.

BUT WHEN THE CAMPUS APPROVES THAT FORM, THE TILE ACTUALLY GOES AWAY.

AND SO WE TRIED TO TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THAT SHOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND IF YOU WERE MISSING A TILE, WHY IS IT.

AND WE SHOWED EACH OF THOSE EXAMPLES.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO TO SHOW THINGS VISUALLY AND MAKE IT VERY SIMPLE FOR PARENTS TO FOLLOW ALONG AND GET ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THEY HAVE.

THEN, MOVING ON TO OUR ERP, WE ARE IN THE FINAL MIGRATION PREP FOR OUR LIVE, GO LIVE OR GO LIVE IN JANUARY.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE ALREADY PUT OUR FIRST PIECE OF THE ERP SYSTEM INTO LIVE, WHICH IS OUR CHART OF ACCOUNTS.

OUR ACCOUNT CODES THOSE ARE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T CHANGE VERY OFTEN.

AND THERE WAS SOME CHANGES THAT WE WERE MAKING ON HOW ACCOUNT CODES ARE SOME OF THOSE STRINGS IN SKYWARD COMPARED TO HOW THEY WERE IN TEAMS. AND SO THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF MANUAL CLEANUP THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

SO WE MIGRATED THOSE EARLY BECAUSE IF WE HAVE TO ADD A FEW NEW ACCOUNT CODES, THIS SHOULD BE VERY MINIMAL.

[02:50:04]

WE DID ADD WE HAD ALREADY ADDED A PRELIM FOR THAT WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT PLAN.

WE ALSO ADDED A PRELIM FIVE MIGRATION.

AND THAT ALLOWED US TO GET DATA AFTER OUR FIRST FULL PAYROLL RUN IN TEAMS FOR 2425, WHICH WAS THAT SEPTEMBER.

PAYROLL. AND THAT GAVE US THE CHANCE TO TO GET OUR DATA AND PROCESSES AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO OUR FINAL MIGRATION.

AND THEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL MOCK PAYROLL THAT WE JUST COMPLETED AT THE END OF OCTOBER, UTILIZING THAT PRELIM FIVE MIGRATION TO TRY TO AGAIN IDENTIFY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHAT THAT PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE IN SKYWARD WITH AS CLOSE TO AS POSSIBLE, OR WHAT OUR LIVE DATA WILL LOOK LIKE.

DUAL ENTRY STARTS TOMORROW.

WE ACTUALLY ARE ABOUT TO SEND FROM TONIGHT'S BACKUP OF TEAMS. OUR. OUR CORE DATA FOR OUR LIVE MIGRATION.

WHICH MEANS THAT STARTING TOMORROW, IF A NEW EMPLOYEE IS HIRED, IF YOU KNOW, A CHANGE IS MADE ON THE FINANCE SIDE WITH SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CAPTURED GOING FORWARD WE'LL HAVE TO CAPTURE THAT ON A SPREADSHEET.

AND THEN ONCE WE GET OUR LIVE DATA AND SKYWARD, THAT WILL HAVE TO GO BACK AND BE ENTERED TO CATCH UP, BECAUSE IT'LL BE AFTER THE POINT THAT WE SEND THAT DATA.

AND THEN OUR DATA REVIEW AND FINAL CONFIGURATION WILL START DECEMBER 9TH.

THAT'S THE DATE THAT SKYWARD WILL GIVE US BACK ALL THAT DATA IN OUR LIVE DATABASE.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO IN AND DO SOME OF THAT CATCH UP FROM WHAT'S HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE CAN DO SOME FINAL CONFIGURATION AHEAD OF OUR ACTUAL GO LIVE, WHICH WILL BE THE 1ST OF JANUARY.

ON OUR TIME CLOCK INSTALLS, WE ARE INSTALLING OUR TIME CLOCKS.

WHEREVER POSSIBLE, NEXT TO EXISTING TEAMS, TIME CLOCKS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL NOTICED THE TIME CLOCK ON THE WALL THERE.

WHEN Y'ALL WERE IN CLOSED SESSION OR COMING OUT BACK THIS WAY.

BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T, IF YOU GO BACK OUT AND GO TO YOUR RIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THE NEW TIME CLOCKS.

SO WE ARE PUTTING THOSE ON THE WALL INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE TEAMS TIME CLOCKS WERE POSSIBLE.

ONCE ONCE THE TEAMS TIME CLOCKS ARE REMOVED STARTING SOMETIME IN JANUARY WE'LL GO BACK AND MOVE THOSE SKYWARD TIME CLOCKS OVER BACK INTO THEIR FINAL POSITION AND GET THEM INTO THE THE POWER OVER ETHERNET, WHICH MEANS YOU WON'T SEE THOSE POWER CORDS GOING DOWN ANYMORE.

BUT WE DID HAVE TO GET THOSE CLOCKS OUT AND READY BEFORE THE TEAMS CLOCKS WERE DONE, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAKE A HARD CUT OVER.

ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO BE USING TEAMS TIME CLOCKS IN.

THE NEXT DAY WE HAVE TO BE READY DISTRICT WIDE TO USE KARY TIME CLOCKS.

SO, SO FAR WE HAVE 133 TIME CLOCKS THAT ARE ON A TEMPORARY WALL LOCATION.

WE'VE GOT ANOTHER 35 THAT HAVE BEEN SET BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A SUITABLE TEMPORARY LOCATION, EITHER ON A COUNTER OR A BOOKCASE, A DESK SOMEWHERE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE WHERE THE FINAL LOCATION WILL BE.

SO THAT'S IF I DO MY MATH RIGHT.

168 TIME CLOCKS.

WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 200 TO INSTALL, SO WE'RE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON GETTING THOSE READY.

WE WILL DEFINITELY BE READY TO GO WHEN WE MAKE THAT CUT OVER AND THEN WE WILL HAVE TIME TO GO BACK MORE GRADUALLY AND MOVE, REMOVE THE TEAM'S TIME CLOCKS AND GET THOSE PUT IN THEIR FINAL LOCATIONS.

WE ARE HANGING SIGNS OVER THEM LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT TO USE THOSE YET.

THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S COMING.

WE'RE GOING TO BE SENDING OUT SOME COMMUNICATION SOON TO TO STAFF, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN IGNORE THOSE TIME CLOCKS FOR NOW, BUT THAT THEY'LL BE GETTING INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THOSE COME JANUARY.

I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION, IN CONJUNCTION WITH GOING LIVE WITH AARP IN JANUARY, THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS THAT WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

SO RED ROVER IS THE SUBSTITUTE CALLING AND SCHEDULING PROGRAM THAT SKYWARD HAS PARTNERED WITH.

WE'LL BE SWITCHING OVER TO FRONTLINE APPLICANT TRACKING FOR FOR JOB POSTING AND APPLICATIONS.

AND WE'RE WORKING ON AN INTEGRATION TO BRING THAT DATA BACK OVER TO SKYWARD WHEN AN APPLICANT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR HIRE.

THERE'S A COMPANY CALLED PAGE DNA, WHICH WILL REPLACE THE COPY CENTER FUNCTIONALITY THAT WAS IN TEAMS. THAT'S JUST A FUNCTIONALITY THAT SKYWARD SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE.

AND THEN WE'LL START USING KELLER FOR OUR BENEFITS ENROLLMENT.

SO WHEN AN EMPLOYEE GOES WHEN A NEW EMPLOYEE COMES IN STARTING IN JANUARY THAT'S WHERE THEY WILL GO TO SIGN UP FOR THEIR HEALTH COVERAGE, THEIR DENTAL, THEIR VISION.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL DO OUR DISTRICT ANNUAL ENROLLMENT AGAIN WHEN THE NEW PLAN YEAR STARTS FOR EVERYONE.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ERP TRAININGS COMING UP A LITTLE BIT IN NOVEMBER, BUT WE REALLY GET PRETTY HEAVY IN DECEMBER WITH TRAINING FOR OUR

[02:55:06]

THIS WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT BEAST, AS FAR AS WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF TRAINING FOR FOR TEACHERS AND FOR THE THE MAJORITY OF OUR STAFF THAT WE HAD TO HAVE ON THE EAST SIDE.

THERE WILL BE A GENERAL TRAINING THAT GOES OUT TO EVERYONE.

IT'LL BE ONLINE FOR EMPLOYEE ACCESS.

BUT REALLY, THAT THAT FRONT OFFICE STAFF AND OUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ARE KIND OF THE PRIMARY USERS.

WE HAVE TO GET A LOT OF TRAINING OUT FOR.

AND SO THAT WILL BE COMING UP THROUGH THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF DECEMBER BEFORE WE GO OUT ON BREAK SO THAT WHEN EVERYBODY COMES BACK THAT THEY WILL BE PREPARED AND READY TO, TO CUT OVER TO ERP.

AND THEN THAT LAST WEEK, RIGHT BEFORE BREAK, WE RUN THROUGH, THEN SOME SOME OPTIONAL REFRESHERS JUST TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR, FOR EVERYONE TO, TO GET CAUGHT UP AND GET THAT TRAINING THAT THEY NEED.

OUR, OUR UPCOMING DATA MIGRATIONS, AS I MENTIONED, ARE ERP LIVE IS STARTING WITH DATA WE'RE CAPTURING TONIGHT.

AND HAVING UPLOADED DISCOVERY BY FRIDAY, THEY WILL START WORKING ON THAT NEXT MONDAY.

WE'LL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL CATCH UP MIGRATION STARTING ON DECEMBER 23RD, OUR PAYROLL DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY COMING IN ON THE 23RD TO PROCESS PAYROLL A LITTLE BIT EARLY.

TO GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY, WE PULLED A PAYROLL EARLY FROM 1ST OF JANUARY INTO DECEMBER TO TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE EASIER ON THE TRANSITION.

SO WE'LL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SET OF DATA WE'RE SENDING THE RIGHT BASICALLY AT CHRISTMAS.

AND THEN WE'LL START OUR ANCILLARY MIGRATIONS THERE IN JANUARY.

WITH PREVIOUS YEAR PAYROLL HISTORY CHECK HISTORY OUR CURRENT YEAR ACCOUNT ACTIVITY, AND THEN OUR OUR YEAR 2 TO 5 HISTORICAL PAYROLL AND OUR HISTORICAL ACCOUNT ACTIVITY.

AND SO SOME OF THE HISTORICAL DATA SIMILAR TO THE SIS, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A NUMBER OF MONTHS TO GET THE FULL HISTORY OVER.

THE KEY FOR GO LIVE IS MAKING SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED RIGHT NOW, DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS.

AND THEN THE HISTORY COMES A LITTLE BIT AFTER THAT.

THEN THE THE LAST THING I WANTED TO COVER WAS AS PART OF OUR PARENT COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN WE'VE HAD STARTED A SERIES OF WHAT WE CALL FAMILY ENGAGEMENT NIGHTS AND THAT CONSISTS OF A SHORT PRESENTATION THAT'S SHORTER THAN THIS ONE.

I PROMISE WE DON'T MAKE PARENTS SIT THIS LONG.

BUT JUST GOING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF THE NEED FOR CHANGE A LITTLE BIT OF THE BASIC NAVIGATION OF THE SYSTEM.

SOME COMMON ISSUES AND MISCONCEPTIONS AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT THE SUPPORT OPTIONS ARE AND HOW TO GET THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND HOW TO GET HELP IF THEY NEED IT.

AFTER THAT, THEN WE BREAK OUT AND HAVE TIME FOR TROUBLESHOOTING SUPPORT AND Q&A.

SO WE HAVE DEPARTMENTS THERE THAT ARE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT GRADING REPORT CARDS, ATTENDANCE MAP TESTING, THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION.

AND THEN THE BIGGEST COMPONENT OF THAT IS THE ACCOUNT SUPPORT.

SO OUR FIRST TWO EVENTS, WE MANAGED TO ALL THE PARENTS THAT CAME THAT HAD AN ACCOUNT ISSUE.

WE GOT TICKETS OPENED FOR THEM AND CLOSED AT THE SAME TIME.

EVERY PARENT WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THOSE EVENTS WITH THEIR ISSUE RESOLVED.

AND JUST GOT A FEW PICTURES HERE OF THOSE FIRST TWO EVENTS.

THE FIRST ONE WAS OCTOBER 29TH.

THAT WAS A TUESDAY NIGHT AT PLANO EAST SENIOR HIGH.

AND THEN LAST SATURDAY WE HAD ACTUALLY SATURDAY MORNING AT CLARK.

OUR SECOND EVENT.

AND THEN WE'RE CLOSE TO GETTING A CONFIRMATION ON OUR THIRD EVENT, OUR FINAL EVENT FOR THE WEST CLUSTER WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE COMING WEEK AFTER NEXT. AND WE WILL GET SOME PUBLICATION OUT FOR THAT AS SOON AS WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE.

BUT WE DID TARGET DOING ONE PER CLUSTER AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD A VARIETY OF DATES WEEKNIGHTS AS WELL AS SATURDAY, JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE WERE MAKING THESE AVAILABLE AT TIMES THAT TIMES AND LOCATIONS THAT PARENTS WERE ABLE TO GET TO.

AND WITH THAT THAT WAS THE LAST OF OUR PRESENTATION.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

I'M GOING TO TAKE MY TRUSTEE HAT OFF AND ASK THEM JUST PARENT RELATED QUESTIONS FIRST.

WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT, THE MESSAGE IS VERY AGGRESSIVE.

IT'S THE WORDING IS YEAH, THE WORDING IS VERY AGGRESSIVE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT, EVEN, LIKE ONCE YOU GET A PHONE CALL AND A NOTICE. AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN IT USED TO BE.

AND SO THE WORDING ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU'RE BEING REPORTED TO LIKE A TRUANT OFFICER.

LIKE IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE.

WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER FIXING THAT OR DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AFTER THE FIRST ABSENCE.

[03:00:02]

AND THAT IS VERY TRUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE FIRST DID IT, BUT I THOUGHT WE MADE SOME EDITS TO THAT MESSAGE.

IT COULD BE LATE SEPTEMBER, EARLY OCTOBER.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT I THOUGHT WE SOFTENED IT AND TAMED IT.

LET'S SAY IT THAT WAY. OKAY, MAYBE I HAVEN'T, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK YOU I THINK YOU SCARED HIM STRAIGHT.

SO THERE YOU GO.

NUMBER TWO THE MAP DATA FORMAT THAT YOU HAVE IN THERE.

SO IN THE OLD SYSTEM.

I COULD JUST DOWNLOAD THE MAP THING.

THE SAME THING THE TEACHER GETS IN THIS NEW SYSTEM.

I JUST BASICALLY GET A SCORE AND A NUMBER.

I DON'T GET ALL THE BACK STUFF.

I ALSO DON'T HAVE THE PREVIOUS MAP SCORES TO COMPARE TO.

IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN MAKE THAT POSSIBLE? SO WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE A REQUEST IN THE SKYWARD TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO TO ADD SOME FUNCTIONALITY TO, TO BE ABLE TO ADD THOSE DOCUMENTS IN IN THAT WAY.

AND WE WILL BE GOING BACK AND PICKING UP ON SOME OF THE TESTS, SOME OF THE OLDER HISTORICAL.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM AS WELL ON CONFIGURING SOME OF THE, THE OTHER TEST IMPORTS TO TRY TO SPEED THAT UP, BECAUSE WITH THE DISTRICT OUR SIZE, THE WAY THEY THEY PROCESS THEIR IMPORTS IS PRETTY SLOW.

THEY TRY TO MATCH ON A LOT OF FIELDS.

SO THEY LOOK AT FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, I THINK MIDDLE NAME, DATE OF BIRTH AND WE CAN PROVIDE STUDENT ID, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME OF THOSE IMPORTS TO TO MATCH MUCH FASTER AND JUST SAY, OKAY, WE KNOW THE STUDENT JUST DON'T DO ALL THIS EVALUATION AND POTENTIALLY MATCH THEM WRONG.

AND SO THAT THERE WILL BE MORE TEST DATA COMING IN.

I DON'T KNOW IF SKYWARD WILL BE ABLE TO OR WHAT TIME FRAME THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL ATTACHMENTS.

BUT IT IS A REQUEST THAT THAT OUR TESTING DEPARTMENT HAS MADE AND WE'VE PASSED ON TO SKYWARD.

BUT I DON'T HAVE AN ETA, BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY AWARE THAT THAT NEED AND WORKING WITH THEM TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT ADDED.

AND I'LL ADD TO THAT MICHAEL, THAT YOU KNOW, WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THEIR OTHER STUDENT ANALYTICS THAT WOULD PROBABLY PROVIDE SOME OF THE IN DEPTH.

ANALYSIS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AS IT PERTAINS TO THOSE DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS.

THAT WASN'T A PART OF THIS INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION THAT WE'RE DOING.

BUT AS WE MOVE ALONG, WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN ENHANCE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE SEEING ABOUT YOUR STUDENT.

THANK YOU. MY, MY MY LAST QUESTION OR NOTE IS HOW ARE THESE SORT OF FOCUS GROUP THINGS YOU'RE DOING ADVERTISED? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ONE OF THESE, BECAUSE I HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS MEETING THAT ARE MORE SPECIFICALLY TO MY CHILD, THAT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SORT OF COME THROUGH BECAUSE THERE'S A NUMBER OF NEW THINGS THAT IT'S DOING THAT I LIKE, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SORT OF BETTER FIGURE OUT HOW TO JUST CONFIGURE IT. SO FOR AS AN EXAMPLE, LIKE I GET A NOTE WHENEVER MY CHILD DOES REALLY WELL ON A TEST OR REALLY POORLY ON A TEST.

AND BECAUSE MY CHILD IS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IT'S EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER.

AND SO I GET A LOT OF NOTES ON ALL THE TESTS THEY TAKE, WHICH IS AGAIN, NOT GOOD, NOT BAD.

I JUST WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF I COULD JUST CALIBRATE THAT TO MAYBE BATCH IT IN ONE ONE SESSION, OR JUST THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

HOW ARE THE FOCUS GROUPS BEING ADVERTISED SO PEOPLE CAN KNOW HOW TO GET TO ONE.

SO THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS SENT OUT TO THE FAMILY.

UPDATE THAT GOES OUT EACH WEEK.

IT WAS ADVERTISED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I THINK WE HAD ON EACH OF THE THE CAMPUS WEBSITES.

IT WAS POSTED WAS POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE.

IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN ALSO PUT IT IN THE SCHOOL NEWSLETTER THAT GOES OUT? WE MADE WE MADE SOME SOME TEXT.

I THINK WE MADE THAT AVAILABLE TO JUST A SUGGESTION.

YEAH. I THINK THAT YOU'RE ASKING THAT WE CAN ASK HASLEY TO ASK THEIR PRINCIPALS.

SO WE SEND OUT OUR DISTRICT WIDE STAFF AND FAMILY UPDATES.

AND THEN PRINCIPALS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL FOR THEIR CAMPUS ACTIVITIES EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

BUT WE CAN. THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION OF, HAVING THEM FOR ALSO PROMOTED ON THEIR CAMPUS, MOORS AND CAMPUS NEWSLETTERS.

SO WE DID MAKE MAKE SOME TEXT AVAILABLE, AND I KNOW THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THEM DID, BECAUSE ONE OF THE I KNOW AT LEAST ONE OF THE PARENTS THAT SHOWED UP TO THE FIRST ONE REFERENCED HAVING HAVING SEEN IT ON AND THEY HAD THEIR, THEIR SCHOOL NEWSLETTER THAT HAD THE INFORMATION ON IT.

AND I'LL, I'LL ADD TO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING VERY SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE NOTIFICATIONS.

[03:05:03]

SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PROMOTE THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING ABOUT, WE'VE WE'VE PROVIDED STEP BY STEP HOW TOS TO, TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES.

AND SO WE TRY TO MAKE THAT KEEP THAT CENTRALLY FOCUSED.

BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN LOOK AT SOME OTHER WAYS TO DISTRIBUTE THAT INFORMATION OUT FOR YOU.

ONE ONE LAST NOTE.

I KNOW I SAID I WASN'T GOING TO DO THIS, BUT ALSO WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT, YOU HAVE NOTES.

IT USED TO BE AS SIMPLE AS YOU JUST HAD THE DR.'S NOTE TO THE PRINCIPAL OR THE TEACHER OR WHEREVER YOU GO.

NOW YOU HAVE TO UPLOAD IT INTO SKYWARD.

THAT WAS NOT EASY FOR ME.

NOT THAT THE PROCESS WAS HARD, BUT JUST UNDERSTANDING WHERE TO GO TO DO IT AND ALL THAT STUFF.

AND I THINK WHEN I INITIALLY HANDED IT MY INITIAL NOTE TO THE RECEPTIONIST, SHE DIDN'T GIVE ME DIRECTION.

SHE JUST SAID, OH, YOU JUST PUT THAT IN SKYWARD.

AND THEN I WENT TO SKYWARD THINKING, OH, OKAY, IT'LL BE JUST EASY TO FIND.

AND IT WAS.

IT WAS NOT. AND AGAIN, IT COULD BE ME, BUT JUST THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS DEFINITELY, BUT THERE WERE JUST A NUMBER OF THINGS LIKE THAT THAT I THINK PARENTS ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISED BY, BECAUSE IT'S JUST DIFFERENT AND IT'S MUCH LESS CONVENIENT THAN I THINK IT WAS IN THE OLD SYSTEM.

AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT THERE ARE JUST A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE MUCH LESS CONVENIENT NOW.

SO WHAT I'LL ADD TO THAT IS, LIKE GREG SAID DURING THE PRESENTATION, YOUR ABILITY TO STILL HAND THAT NOTE TO THE FRONT OFFICE, THAT'S STILL AN OPTION. OR SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WERE REFERENCING.

I THINK SOME OF THEM, BECAUSE OF THE CONVENIENCE OF HAVING THE PARENT BE ABLE TO DO THAT, SOME OF THEM KIND OF JUMPED OUT AND SAID, OH, WE'RE NOT TAKING NOTES ANYMORE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU STILL HAVE THE OPTION OF TAKING IN A NOTE, HANDING IT TO THEM.

THEY WILL SCAN IT IN FOR YOU AND ACTUALLY ATTACH IT TO YOUR STUDENTS RECORD.

SO THAT'S ONE OPTION.

OR YOU CAN CALL IT IN AND THAT IS ACCEPTABLE AS WELL.

FOR A NOTE FOR ABSENCE.

SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLEAR UP AS PART OF OUR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT NIGHTS.

BUT ALSO THAT IS ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THAT WE PUT OUT ON THE HELP PAGE FOR.

HOW DO YOU GO THROUGH AND ACTUALLY SUBMIT YOUR NOTE ELECTRONICALLY.

SO WE DO HAVE THAT ONE OUT ON OUR HELP PAGE WITH STEP BY STEP, STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOING THAT.

BUT YOU STILL HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR GETTING YOUR ABSENCE NOTES TO THE CAMPUS.

AND AS FAR AS THAT EXACT ONE GOES AS WELL THE EASIEST WAY IS IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE SKYWARD APP.

IT'S A LITTLE MORE OBVIOUS IN THERE AND YOU CAN JUST USE YOUR PHONE, TAKE A PICTURE OF THE NOTE AND UPLOAD.

AND THAT PROCESS SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE MORE STREAMLINED AND EASIER TO FOLLOW.

FOR MOST PARENTS IF YOU GO THROUGH THE APP, THROUGH THE BROWSER, IT'S NOT QUITE AS EASY.

AND THAT'S THE FEEDBACK WE HAVE PASSED ON TO SKYWARD ABOUT THAT.

THEY NEED TO PROBABLY TURN THAT THAT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THE APP IS DEFINITELY IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT YOURSELF, THE APP IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO TRY TO HANDLE THOSE NOTES.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION OR KIND OF AN OBSERVATION AND THEN A QUESTION.

I KNOW THAT THE COMMISSIONER HAS NOT EXTENDED THE IMPLEMENTATION DEADLINE, AND IT'S FOR A FEE FOR THE DAILY UPLOAD OF OUR ATTENDANCE RECORDS.

AND I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW YOU MENTIONED EARLY IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WHEN YOU USED TO DO IT QUARTERLY, THERE WAS A PROCESS WHERE YOU COULD CLEAN THINGS UP.

SO ARE WE GOING TO BE IN A POSITION WITH DAILY UPLOADS? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CORRECTIONS IF THERE'S AN ERROR IN THAT? AND I'LL LET YOU ANSWER THAT.

AND I HAVE ONE FOLLOWING PIECE TO THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE A, IT'S NOT AN ALL OR NOTHING.

SO IF A STUDENT IS REPORTED ABSENT INCORRECTLY AND WE GO BACK AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GO BACK AND YOU CAN STILL CORRECT THOSE RECORDS BUT IT'S GOING TO SHOW AS A CHANGE TO THE STATE THAT SOMETHING WAS CHANGED ON THAT RECORD.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE USING THIS YEAR, WE'RE USING ED PHI TO SUBMIT.

BUT THEY'RE STILL IT'S KIND OF A HYBRID YEAR.

THERE'S STILL THE KEY CHECKOFF SIGNATURES.

SO WE STILL HAVE A WE STILL HAD A FALL SNAPSHOT.

BUT IT'S BEING SUBMITTED IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

AND SO WE'RE STILL IN KIND OF A TRANSITION PHASE FOR THAT.

[03:10:01]

I GUESS MY CONCERN OVERALL IS WILL THE DISTRICT BE IN A POSITION TO BE SHORT ON ADA FUNDING GIVEN THIS NEW SYSTEM AND THE UPLOAD PROCESS OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, HOW WE'VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS ALL ALONG.

IS THERE GOING TO BE THAT KIND OF AN ISSUE? YEAH, I'LL LET DR.

TANNER SPEAK TO THAT. I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER DISTRICTS AND WITH TEA ON THAT, AND HE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THOSE, AS HAS DR.

WILLIAMS, I BELIEVE. SO THAT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD AS WELL WE RECENTLY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM TEA IN RECENT WEEKS.

AND WE BROUGHT UP THOSE SAME CONCERNS IS THAT WE'RE STILL SEEING A LOT OF ERRORS.

THAT'S TRUE FOR US HERE IN PLANO.

AND THAT'S TRUE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.

OUR VENDORS ARE STILL, YOU KNOW, HAVING ISSUES GETTING THE DATA RIGHT, SO THAT WHEN WE DO THE SUBMISSION THAT EVERYTHING IS LOADING INTO THE SYSTEM PROPERLY.

AND SO THEY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE STATE TO TRY TO GET THAT CLEANED UP.

YES. WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN UP.

IN OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH TEA, WHEN WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT QUESTION, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF WE'RE NOT? IF OUR DATA IS NOT 100% CLEAN, ONCE WE'RE READY TO GO AND WE REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU GOING TO WORK WITH US TO GIVE US MORE TIME TO DO THAT? AND THEY CONCEDED THAT THEY WOULD DISTRICTS THAT, FIND THEMSELVES IN THAT SITUATION, THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH THEM TO, TO, TO HELP THEM TO GET THEIR DATA CLEANED UP. SO THOSE ARE THE WORDS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN, BUT WE ALSO CAN PLAN TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THEM TO STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS AND HOPEFULLY TO CLEAN UP WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH IT.

WE FIND OURSELVES IN A VERY UNIQUE SITUATION IN THAT, NUMBER ONE, WE JUST CUT OVER ONE SYSTEM TO A NEW SYSTEM, AND THEN WE'RE PLANNING A MID-YEAR CUTOVER, WHICH CREATES SOME OTHER COMPLEXITIES FOR US IN TERMS OF THE DATA SUBMISSION PROCESS.

AND SO WE WERE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT, HEY, WE NEED ASSISTANCE IN JANUARY WHEN IT'S TIME TO DO THESE SUBMISSIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUR DATA RIGHT.

AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE BRINGING TO THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE THE MOST ACCURATE DATA POSSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET ME KNOW IF WE NEED TO WRITE THEM A LETTER.

I'M HAPPY TO SIGN SOMETHING THAT WOULD DO THAT.

AND I THINK THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES, A LOT OF STATES, ALL BUT SIX STATES GET FUNDED BASED ON ENROLLMENT.

SO THAT WOULD REALLY CLEAR UP THAT FUNDING POTENTIAL GAP THERE.

IF WE WERE TO BE FUNDED BASED ON ENROLLMENT RATHER THAN ATTENDANCE, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT A LITTLE BIT, PROBABLY.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS THE LEGISLATORS WILL BE ON THAT, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL IN THE LAST SESSION THAT WERE SUPPORTING THAT.

SO MAYBE WE'LL KNOCK ON THEIR DOOR.

AND I DID WANT TO MENTION TOO, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE CLEANUP, I WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR, TOO.

SO WHAT THIS ONCE WE'RE FULLY INVOLVED IN THE SYSTEM, WHAT WILL ALLOW US TO DO IS INSTEAD OF BASICALLY COLLECTING ALL THOSE THINGS, ALL THOSE ERRORS AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH THEM ALL AT ONCE, WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON TRAINING, EVERYBODY ON IS, IS THAT WE NEED TO HIT THOSE DAILIES.

SO WE'LL HAVE A LOT MORE VISIBILITY IN REAL TIME AS THOSE HAPPEN.

SO IT'S NOT THAT WE WANT TO HAVE A CHANCE TO CLEAN UP OUR DATA, BUT WE'LL NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF IT VERSUS LETTING THEM COLLECT AND HAVING TO DO THEM ALL AT ONCE, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE VISIBILITY INTO IT UNTIL WE GOT TO THAT SNAPSHOT DATE.

OKAY. ARE WE INCURRING MORE MANPOWER ON THIS NEW SYSTEM? I MEAN, I KNOW IMPLEMENTATION.

YES, I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE WORKING LIKE 90 HOURS A WEEK, BUT GOING FORWARD AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL, WILL IT TAKE MORE THAN THE ATTENDANCE CLERK TO GET THIS SUBMITTED PROPERLY, OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE? I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S NECESSARILY THAT WE MAY HAVE TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE BUT REPURPOSE EXISTING STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DEDICATE INDIVIDUALS TO LOOKING AT OUR TEAM'S DATA ON A DAILY BASIS.

SO WE ARE THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE INVESTIGATING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET THIS INFORMATION RIGHT.

AND WE ARE WORKING ON A MANUAL.

I THINK WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO HAVING THAT THAT READY TO RELEASE.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH SO EACH OF THE DATA ELEMENTS YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE DIFFERENT AREAS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

SO WE BROUGHT EVERYBODY TOGETHER THAT OWNS ANY SORT OF DATA ELEMENT FOR TEAMS HAD A NUMBER OF MEETINGS AND WORKING ON EACH OF THEIR AREAS, LAYING OUT EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND HOW AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A BASICALLY THE WHOLE DISTRICT TEAM TOGETHER ON THAT AND COMMUNICATING THAT OUT.

SO IT'LL BE THE SAME WITH THE CAMPUS WILL BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS RESPONSIBLE.

BUT WE'RE WORKING ON TRYING TO GET A MANUAL TOGETHER AND VERY CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO, TO MAKE IT WORK.

[03:15:08]

MY HAT'S OFF. I'M SURE EVERYBODY'S HAT'S OFF TO YOU GUYS.

IN ALL THE WORK YOU'RE DOING.

IT'S NEVER EASY TO TRANSITION A SYSTEM, BUT I KNOW THERE'S HICCUPS, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THE WAY YOU HANDLE THE HICCUPS THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND THE PARENT ENGAGEMENT NIGHTS, THE EXTREME HELP ON THE ONLINE.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANKS FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR FAMILIES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GREAT REPORT.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM TEN, WHICH IS THE CONCLUSION OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS.

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