[6. REPORTS]

[00:15:03]

THERE ARE CLEAR SIGHT LINES AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO KEN TO KIND OF DISCUSS THIS IN FURTHER DETAIL SO. SO WHEN WE GET TO THE COMPARISON OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE NEW VERSION AND AS YOU GO THROUGH THE SCIENCE WING UP AT THE TOP WE DON'T. RIGHT NOW THE SCIENCE WING STAYS PRETTY MUCH THE SCIENCE WING. THE ONLY THING THAT WE WOULD DO TO THE SCIENCE WING IF WE DID WAS MAYBE FRESHEN IT UP TO MAKE SURE THE COLORS BLEND WITH WHATEVER RENOVATED. MOVING DOWN TO THE ATHLETICS THE ATHLETIC AREA THE GYMS OBVIOUSLY STAY WE JUST KIND OF REFRESH THEM FIX A MEDIA ISSUES AND KIND OF WORK ON THE. THE DRESSING ROOM AREA TRY TO MAKE IT FUNCTION A LITTLE BETTER THAN IT DOES RIGHT NOW MOVING DOWN TO THE CAFETERIA. WE WE ENLARGE THE KITCHEN WE MAKE A LARGER CAFETERIA BUT THEY MAINLY STAYS APPROXIMATELY IN THE SAME LOCATION. YOUR DRAMA AND FINE ARTS ARE SOME MINOR REVISIONS TO DRAMA BUT THE FINE ARTS PRETTY MUCH STAYS THE SAME WITH SOME JUST SOME REFRESHING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COLORS ARE WE'RE OUR MATCHING WITH THAT YOU END UP WITH THE CENTRAL COURT OR DOWN THE MIDDLE FROM THE NEW ENTRY WHERE WE FLIP THE ADMIN UP TO THE TOP AND THE COUNSELORS PART OF THE SESSION THAT WE WERE IN. THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF THE AD MEN BEING SEPARATED FROM THE COUNSELORS. SO WE HAD TO RETHINK MOVING THE COUNSELOR SWEET BUT WE KEEP THAT THE WARRIOR CENTER THERE WHERE THEY CAUSE THAT'S THAT'S A VERY HIGH POPULATED AND USED AREA BUT WE WE ALSO JOIN IT WITH THE NEW ENTRY WHERE WE RAISE THE CEILING IN

[00:20:05]

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A HIDDEN HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF THE EXISTING CORRIDORS.

THEY'RE KIND OF DARK AND AS YOU WALK THROUGH THEM THIS IS THE MAIN COMMONS COMING OFF THE CAFETERIA AND IT KIND OF GETS YOU THAT LARGE CORRIDOR SPACE YOU CAN SEE THE HIGH VOLUME CEILING WHERE WE'VE GOT THE SKYLIGHTS THAT WE CAN GET YOU.

WOULD YOU JUST DO AND THEN WE KIND OF DID A LITTLE COMPUTER ANIMATION TO KIND OF GO THROUGH WHAT SOME OF THE CORRIDORS YOU KIND OF CAN GET A LITTLE LOST IN IT. SO AS YOU CAN SAY WE'VE GOT THE FRONT ENTRY. YOU'VE GOT YOUR CENTER BEHIND IT. THAT FRONT VOLUME HAS POPPED UP TO GET A GRANDER ENTRY. WE REWORKED THAT BUS LOOP ACROSS THE FRONT SO YOU HAVE A DROP OFF. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT KIM IN THERE BUT THEY DIDN'T. I TRIED REALLY HARD. BUT THAT'S THAT BRAND AS YOU'RE WALKING IN THAT'S YOUR FRONT ENTRY. AND YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT QUARTER. THERE'S SOME LOW AREAS WHERE I CAN POP IT ALL UP BUT YOU'LL GO INTO SECTIONS THAT HAVE LOW. RES SKYLIGHT THAT KIND OF GIVE IT MORE OF A GRAND. ENTRY AS YOU WALK DOWN. THIS IS THAT LONG QUARTER WITH THE CTE STUFF TO YOUR LEFT. AND THEN THE DINING ROOM IS TO THE RIGHT. WE'RE PASSING THE GYM RIGHT NOW. THIS IS KIND OF AT THE CENTER THAT THE DYNAMIC CAFETERIA WILL BE TO YOUR BACK. YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN THAT MAIN LARGE CORRIDOR WHERE WE POP IT ALL UP WITH THE SKYLIGHT AND JUST MAKE THAT CENTRAL CORRIDOR THROUGH THE CENTER OF THAT SPINE AND BASICALLY THE CENTER OF THE SCHOOL. I JUST FORGOT TO GIVE ME BACK THIS. OK SO THAT LAST AREA OF THIS IS THAT CENTER THAT THIS IS THAT VIEW DOWN THAT CENTER GRANDES CENTER SPINE OF THE SCHOOL WITH THE CAFETERIA RIGHT BEHIND YOU. SORRY I GOT AWAY FROM THE SPEAKER AND THEN SOME MORE IN EXISTING PICTURES OF THE JUST BASICALLY WHAT'S AROUND THE EXISTING CORRIDORS. AND THIS IS ANOTHER VIEWPOINT OF THAT FRONT ENTRY AS YOU COME IN THE FRONT DOORS. AND

[00:25:05]

OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO TRY TO LEAVE THEM IN THEIR EXISTING LOCATION AND TRY TO REUSE THEM AND JUST REDUCTIO BECAUSE YOUR CURRENT PLAN IS YOU'RE JUST REPLACING THE UNIT THEY'RE NOT NOT REPLACING ALL THE CLOCK WORK. WHEN WE RECONFIGURE THAT WE'LL HAVE TO GET REPLACED. WELL IF WE ARE PUTTING IN NEW FACILITIES RIGHT NOW WHICH I THINK WOULD LIKE A MILLION FOUR. YEAH ABOUT A MILLION EIGHT OR NINE. OKAY BUT MAYBE WE NEED TO CORRELATE THAT WITH FUTURE PLANS IN THE CASE THAT WE GO WITH THAT. ABSOLUTELY. WE TOUCHED BASE WITH KEN PRIOR TO RECOMMENDING THAT HPC REPLACEMENT TO WE WANT TO ASK THAT SAME QUESTION TO THEM AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE THAT WE COULD REUSABLE SO YOU MENTIONED THAT THE THE ALL IN REPLACEMENT BRAND NEW BUILDING WOULD BE ABOUT A THREE YEAR PROJECT. WHAT'S YOUR BEST GUESS. IF WE WENT WITH

[00:30:01]

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO JUST DO OVER THE SUMMER BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW OUR SUMMERS ARE GETTING SO SHORT. THEY USED TO BE THREE MONTHS NOW. AH AH AH BUILD TIME IN A SUMMER IS LIKE LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. SO DEPENDING ON HOW WE CAN PHASE THE PROJECT IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM PROBABLY A 24 MONTHS TO A LITTLE LONGER MAYBE 30 MONTHS. I MEAN IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A LONG DURATION. IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW IT CAN BE PHASED AND HOW WE CAN WORK WITH THE CURRENT PRINCIPAL AND STAFF TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN TAKE AREAS AND RELOCATE. BUT YOU'LL STILL BE ABLE THE VANTAGE TO THE REMODEL VERSUS THE NEW IS YOU'LL STILL HAVE YOUR FIELDS SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO RELOCATE OFF CAMPUS. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW WE LOOK AT LOCATIONS WE CAN PUT PORTABLES THAT WE CAN MOVE KIDS INTO I MEAN THERE'S JUST A LOT OF OPTIONS AND THAT ALL AFFECTS HOW THAT PHASING IS. SO TONY FROM HAVING THEN CHECKED IN HOW DOES THIS 50 MILLION REMODEL IN TERMS OF INCONVENIENCING THE SCHOOL COMPARED TO WHAT WAS DONE IN SHOPPING CENTERS SHIPPED AND HAD AN ENTIRE CITY AFFORDABLE. WHAT HOW I THINK OF IT TOO. YEAH SOMETHING DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH YOU KNOW WE BRING THE CONTRACT RAN AROUND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THAT'S USUALLY WHO WE GO TO TO TALK PHASING. SO AS KEN SAID IT'S REALLY A CONVERSATION BETWEEN OURSELVES THE CONTRACTOR AND THE PRINCIPAL OF JUST HOW MUCH SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING IS WHAT THEY CALL SWING SPACE THAT WE COULD GET INTO AND START MOVING AROUND THE BUILDING IN SECTIONS IF THERE'S NOT SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING LIKE SHIPTON WAS ALREADY TIGHT TO BEGIN WITH THEN. YEAH. PORTABLES IS YOUR YOUR ANSWER. THAT WAS THE MOST PORTABLES WE'VE REALLY EVER SEEN ON CAMPUS. I THINK THERE WAS FORGET IF IT WAS A CLASS OR IF IT WAS 10 OR 12 BUT IT WAS IT WAS THE MOST WE'D EVER SEEN BUT IT WOULD BE YOU KNOW WE COULD HAVE A VARIATION OF HOW MANY CLASSROOM PORTABLES WE'D HAVE ON THE OUTSIDE BUT IT WOULD BE A IT'D BE VERY SIMILAR TO SHIPPED IN AND WILL ROBINSON JUST KIND OF A SMALL COMPLEX WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE MOVED OUT OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND TEMPORARILY HOUSED THERE WHILE THEY'RE IN THE BUILDING HITTING CERTAIN AREAS. SO WHERE WOULD YOU PUT THAT INTO THE PORTABLE CITY WHERE WOULD YOU PREFER. YES I MEAN WE'D HAVE TO. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN AGAIN IT'S ONCE WE BRING THE CONTRACTOR ON BOARD WE REALLY ARE ARE HITTING THEM UP FOR THAT KIND OF THOSE KIND OF SUGGESTIONS. WE DIDN'T RUN IT BY THE PRINCIPAL FOR THEIR APPROVAL AT THE END BUT WE WANT. WE WANT TO HAVE THAT THIRD PART OWNER ARCHITECT AND THAT CONTRACTOR IS THAT THIRD ELEMENT OF THE TEAM THAT KIND OF YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES YOU KNOW WHAT IS YOUR YOU KNOW WHAT CAN YOU DO ON SITE ONCE YOU'RE ON THERE. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR TO LAY DOWN TRAILER IN YOUR YARD AND THEN YEAH IF WE NEED PORTABLES IF WE TELL YOU THAT THERE'S NO SWING SPACE INSIDE AND YOU'RE GOING TO NEED PORTABLES. YEAH. WHAT'S YOUR SUGGESTION OF LOCATING THEM. MOST LIKELY WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF THOSE PRACTICE FIELDS. I MEAN BASED ON THE VANTAGE THEY HAVE OVER AS THEY'VE GOT THAT STADIUM THEN THEY CAN USE FOR FOOTBALL AND PRACTICE IT WOULD JUST UTILIZE THAT FIELD MORE THAN ITS PROBABLY GETTING IS NOW AND TAKE SOME OF THOSE PRACTICE FIELDS AND MAKE A PORTABLE CITY. AND AREN'T THERE SOME NEW RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF PORTABLES. YEAH SOME NOT IF IT'S FOR SWING SPACE SO IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY TAKING A CLASSROOM IF YOU'RE CLOSING IT DOWN FOR REMODEL BUT SO YOU CAN TRANSFER THAT OUT TO A PORTABLE UNDER THAT. WELL THAT'S WHAT THE CITIES HAVE ALLOWED US TO DO BUT ANY ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE IF YOU'RE INCREASING OCCUPANCY THEN IT HAS TO BE A TORNADO SHELTER SO WE WERE WE'RE VETERANS OUR FAMILY OR VETS ON THE SHIFT AND REMODEL BECAUSE WILL WAS THERE BOTH YEARS AND I WOULD SUGGEST TO JEFF BANNER WOULD SAY HE NEVER WANTS TO DO THAT AGAIN BUT FROM A STUDENT PERSPECTIVE AN APPARENT PERSPECTIVE I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY WELL DONE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY SAFE. IT WAS FENCED AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FENCE IN THE PORTABLE CITY AND SO THERE WERE NO SAFETY CONCERNS. AND I THOUGHT IT WORKED VERY WELL FOR THE TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WE WERE DOING. THAT WAS A TWO YEAR PROJECT WITH A SCHOOL THAT'S IN USE. AND I COULD SEE SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HERE AND THE POINT ABOUT HAVING THE EXTRA FOOTBALL FIELD IS A GOOD ONE AND THAT YOU COULD TAKE A PRACTICE FACILITY YOU COULD TAKE THE BASEBALL FIELD PUT YOUR PORTABLE CITY RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR CAMPUS AND YOU STILL HAVE A FOOTBALL STADIUM IN WHICH TO PRACTICE FOR TWO YEARS OR HOWEVER LONG YOU NEED THAT STADIUM TO TAKE UP YOUR PRACTICE SPACE. SECOND SOMEONE WALKED THROUGH FOR ME. WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PLAN A IN THE BOND THAT KIND OF MONEY. IS THERE A WAY OF DOING PLAN B WITHOUT A PLAN C HAS TO BE DONE WITH THE BOT. CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH

[00:35:02]

SEE YOU TALKED ABOUT BRINGING IN A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER. DO WE ALREADY HAVE ONE APPROVED OR DID YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO SELECT A METHOD AND THEN WOULD HIRE AN ARCHITECT AND A CONSTRUCTION FIRM. OKAY ASSUMING THAT WE DID LIKE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER RISK. SO THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF DOING CONSTRUCTION MANAGER RISK IS BECAUSE YOU GET YOUR ARCHITECT AND CONSTRUCTION FIRM ON BOARD AND THEN YOU START SOME OF THIS PLANNING AND PHASING ESPECIALLY ON A RENOVATION. SO ONE OTHER THOUGHT IN TERMS OF A FUNDING SOURCE AND THIS IS KIND OF GOES BACK TO WHAT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TALKED ABOUT WITH WITH RANDY ON THE FUND BALANCE AND BEING ABLE TO ALLOCATE THOSE FUND BALANCE DOLLARS AND WE MAY HAVE DOLLARS IN THE FUND BALANCE THAT NEED TO BE SPENT RATHER THAN SITTING IN A SAVINGS

[00:40:01]

BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE BENEFIT OF BEING IN A TRIPLE-A RATED HIGHLY HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET FOR WHAT WE OFFER. AND SO IF WE CAN UTILIZE THAT TO PARLAY YOU KNOW B OPTION B YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALMOST A FREE PROJECT WHICH IS INCREDIBLE. SEE I THINK ALL TOGETHER ALL AND IF WE'RE DOING IF WE'RE TALKING C WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT BOND NEXT BOND PACKAGE THAT ALL OF THOSE ARE VERY YOU KNOW B BEING THE MIDDLE GROUND ON THAT AND HAVING SOME MONEY AVAILABLE AND NEEDING TO DISCUSS HOW TO USE THOSE DOLLARS IS GONNA TAKE SOME SERIOUS CONVERSATION WITH THIS BOARD BECAUSE THERE'S OF IT WOULD BE A BIT OF A PHILOSOPHICAL SHIFT I THINK FROM WHERE THE BOARD HAS BEEN IN THE PAST TO UTILIZE THOSE DOLLARS FOR EXAMPLE THAT WERE THOSE INTEREST DOLLARS FOR NEW PROJECTS THAT WEREN'T NECESSARILY IDENTIFIED IN THE LAST BOND THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A VERY SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT. BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN DONE IN THE PAST NOT NECESSARILY THE INTEREST BUT ALLOCATING SAVINGS. THE ENTIRE NEW BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT AT PLANO WEST NEVER A PERIOD IN ANY BOND IN THE PAST. AND SO AS NEEDS COME IN IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS TRUSTEES TO MOVE FORWARD IN THAT WAY [INAUDIBLE] I AGREE WITH YOU ON COST SAVINGS.

I THINK THIS IS A NEW ANNUAL INTEREST INCOME. [INAUDIBLE] I WAS LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATIONS AND THE THING IS THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS A RENOVATION THAT WE NEED FOR WILIAMS HIGH SCHOOL COMPARED TO OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOL REALLY NEEDS IT AND HE DESERVES IT. THE STUDENT DESERVES IT. SO I MEAN IF WE CAN AFFORD SO FAR WE ONLY AFFORD FACE THE OPTION B AND THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK WE HAVE TO ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW WE WANT TO DO OPTION C AND I BELIEVE THAT WE DO BECAUSE COMPARED TO OPTION C BUT I MEAN THE WHOLE SCHOOL COMPARED TO INSTEAD OF BUILDING YOU KNOW FLIPPING THE SITE FOR ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS RENOVATION FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL OF 50 MILLION DOLLARS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD. YOU KNOW IF YOU CONSIDER IT AS A SAVINGS YOU KNOW I THINK I'M PLEASED WITH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE THIS BUT FROM AN INSTRUCTIONAL STANDPOINT FOR KIDS. SARAH WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S WHAT'S THE BEST. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR US TO DELIVER THE BEST PRODUCT FOR KIDS AND ALSO HAVE THE LEAST DISRUPTION. IS IT I MEAN THERE'S NOT AN IDEAL BUT WHAT'S YOUR TAKE. NO THERE'S NO BECAUSE EITHER WAY YOU'RE STRETCHING OUT A PROCESS WHILE THERE'S KIDS IN THE BUILDING. SO YOU KNOW KIND OF LIKE SHARPTON YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DISRUPTION AND HAVE TO PUT SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO MANAGE THE DISRUPTION TO KEEP INSTRUCTION FLOWING. I KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S THAT MUCH. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN PRICE OBVIOUSLY BUT IF IT'S THREE YEARS FOR THE FOR THE WHOLE THING AND IT'S 24 MONTHS OR 30 FOR PLAN ABC. I DON'T SEE THERE'S THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE REALLY I MEAN WE WOULD DO WHATEVER WE WOULD HAVE TO DO.

I THINK BOTH OPTIONS PROVIDE A GREAT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR KIDS AND I'M IMPRESSED BY HOW THEY GOT CEILINGS LIKE WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT. AND YOU FOUND THE LIGHT SO THAT TO ME REALLY SHOWCASING THE CTE PROGRAMS IN THAT BUILDING YOU CAN REALLY TELL IT FROM THIS BUT THAT THE CENTRAL CORD OR RUNNING FROM THE CAFETERIA TO THE LIBRARY IS HOW WIDE ROUGHLY ABOUT 24 FEET 25 FEET WIDE. SO WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S DOWNSTAIRS THERE'S JUST NO ONE. WHEN WE TOURED THAT WE'VE GOT THAT WITH THE DEPTH FOR THE LEARNING TO SPILL OUT. THERE'S SOME COLLABORATIVE SPACES BUILT IN AND WE HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH PRINCIPALS ABOUT THAT ABOUT HOW ARE THOSE USED AND HOW MANY DO YOU NEED TO MAXIMIZE THAT. AND SO I FEEL LIKE I FEEL LIKE THE PLAN IS GOOD. I'M SURE A BRAND NEW BUILDING WOULD ALSO BE GOOD FOR FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING BUT IT'S A GOOD LEARNING SO OPTION B OBVIOUSLY LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THE FUNDS SEEM TO BE THERE WE COULD MAKE THAT WORK. MY QUESTION IS YOU KNOW IF IF WE WERE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOND PACKAGE THAT COULD BE FOUR OR

[00:45:01]

THEY'RE NOT THERE MAYBE THEY'RE SCIENCE LABS WHAT 10 YEARS OLD. SO IT'S NOT THAT OLD. SO IT'S TEN YEARS IT MIGHT NEED SOMETHING LOOK AT SOME OF THE MECHANICAL ON IT BUT YOU'RE GAINING IT'S STILL GONNA BE A COMPARABLE AS A NEW BUILDING BECAUSE LIKE I SAID WE'RE WE'RE ONLY KEEPING STRUCTURE YOU'LL HAVE NEW DUCTWORK YOU'LL HAVE LIGHTS YOU'LL HAVE NEW GRILLS NEW CEILINGS NEW MECHANICAL THE ONLY MECHANICAL UNITS WE PLAN TO MAINTAIN AND REUSED ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ONES WE JUST REPLACED. SO THEY MIGHT BE OFF FOR THAT CYCLE BY TWO YEARS. IF YOU'RE GOING BUY A 20 YEAR REPLACEMENT FROM THE DAY YOU'VE PUT THEM THERE AND YOU CAN PUSH THOSE TO 22 YEARS THEY USUALLY GO JUST FINE. I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE FOUNDATION. LAST TIME WE WERE TOLD THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR BUILDINGS. VERY GOOD. SO IS THAT JUST LUCK. IS IT. WHAT DO YOU CONTRIBUTE THAT GOOD FOUNDATION. AND SECONDLY WITH ALL THE GLASSES ON THAT I MEAN IT'S BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT. IT'S JUST I'M WONDERING DOES THAT INCREASE OUR INSURANCE PAYMENT EVERY YEAR. BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF HE'LL LOOK HE HITS A REGULAR ROOF OR HIT THE GLASS. WELL IT'S NOT REALLY GLASS. WHAT. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I NEED EDUCATION. IT'S A SKYLIGHT SYSTEM. SO I USUALLY USE LIKE A POLYCARBONATE PANEL DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT I MEAN. DEPENDING ON WHAT WE DECIDE TO USE MOST OF MOST THOSE BIG SKYLIGHTS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GLASS BUT THEY'RE REALLY A DOUBLE WALLED PLASTIC PANEL THAT CAN AND CAN TAKE A STANDARD SIZE HAIL. I MEAN IF IF THE BUILDING GOT HIT WITH BASEBALL SIZED HAIL THERE'S NOTHING I COULD PUT UP THERE THAT WILL HOLD. I MEAN DON'T GO THROUGH THE METAL DECK. WE'VE SEEN THAT IN WYLIE. I MEAN IT WENT THROUGH PEOPLE'S HOUSES SO I MEAN DEPENDING ON THE SIZE BUT YOUR AVERAGE SIZE HAIL. IF IT'S A POLYCARBONATE PANEL IT SHOULDN'T HURT IT. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I MEAN YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE ROOF DAMAGE ANYWAY. IT'S

[00:50:07]

THEIR EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING WILD. THEY NEED SPACE. AND HE SAID IN THE PARTS BUILDING THEY HAD WIDE HALLWAYS THEY DIDN'T HAVE ISSUES OF DISCIPLINE. AND SO I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING WHERE YOU GET A 24 FOOT HALLWAY THAT'S PART OF THE SOCIALLY EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF THAT SCHOOL. THAT'S NOT A LUXURY. AND SO I FIND THESE REALLY

[00:55:05]

WE HAD THE PRESENTATION WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD THIS NOW OUR SECOND DISCUSSION ON THIS I GUESS IT'S A QUESTION FOR TAMMY AND FOR SARA WHAT IS THE DESIRED OUTCOME AT THE BOARD FROM THIS PRESENTATION. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO HEAR WHAT THE BOARD'S LEANINGS ARE AND I THINK THOSE LEANINGS HAVE I THINK CHANGED SINCE OUR FIRST MEETING AT WILLIAMS. I THINK WE'VE ALL LEARNED A BIT ABOUT THE OTHER SCHOOLS. WE CERTAINLY HAVE A VERY INTERESTING PLAN THAT SHOWS POTENTIAL PROGRESSION. AND SO I THINK AT THIS POINT IT WOULD BE TO EMPOWER THE ADMINISTRATION TO FULLY ENGAGE IN THIS AND FOR THEM TO DO THEIR DETAILED STUDY. KNOW HOW WOULD THE PHASING WORK WHAT MONEYS ARE AVAILABLE SHOULD WE DO A SPECIAL PURPOSE BOND. SO I THINK IT'S TO REALLY LET THEM KNOW IF WE ARE FEELING LIKE THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO EMBRACE AND UNDERSTAND DEEPLY AND I DON'T I AGREE WITH TAMMY. ALSO I FEEL THAT WE NEED TO EXPEDITE THIS PROJECT. AND THE REASON WHY IS THAT WINDS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG THAT YOU KNOW THIS THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO BE MAKE IT AGAIN. I WOULD SAY VERY IMPORTANT PROJECTS. DAVID TO YOUR POINT I THINK KIND OF MAKING A DECISION ON OPTION 1 OR TWO WITH THE HOPE THAT IF WE AGREE TO HAVE A SPECIAL BOND THAT WE CAN PIVOT IF THAT BOND IS PAST TO DO OPTION 3. IF WE YOU KNOW FIRST WE HAVE TO AGREE. OPTION 1 OR 2 WHICH WHEN WE WANT TO DO.

BUT THEN IF YOU KNOW MAY COMES AROUND AND THAT SPECIAL BOND GETS PASSED THEN WE COULD ALWAYS JUST PIVOT AND BID OUT AND MOVE FORWARD WITH OPTION 3. THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT I'M JUST THROWING OUT THERE. WELL AS I SEE THE DECISION TREE IT'S EITHER REPLACE OR RENOVATE. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S DECISION ONE DECISION TO IT. IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU'RE NOT AND I KNOW WHERE I COME DOWN ON THAT IF YOU DECIDE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REPLACE INSTEAD YOU'RE GOING TO RENOVATE. AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU DO AND HOW DO YOU PAY FOR IT. YOU KNOW I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT THAT SEA OF IT IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE EVENTUALLY. IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A REHABILITATION OF THE BUILDING SO THEN THE QUESTION IS IF YOU GET IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SEA DO YOU START WITH A OR B AND THEN SUPPLEMENT WITH C OR DO YOU GO ALL IN ON C NOW YOU KNOW THE IDEA OF A SPECIAL BOND IS INTRIGUING BUT I WOULD CAUTION US TO GET.

TOO TIED UP ON THAT IDEA RIGHT NOW WITHOUT HAVING A REALLY SERIOUS DISCUSSION IN TERMS OF WHAT THE NEXT BOND PACKAGE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME. SO WE HAVE AN IDEA AS TO WHAT WE'RE ASKING VOTERS TO VOTE ON NOW AS OPPOSED TO A YEAR FROM NOW TWO YEARS FROM NOW BECAUSE RECALL THAT THE PLAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR WILLIAMS THE 16 BOND WAS GOING TO INCLUDE SOME SOME INITIAL MONEY BUT THE NEXT BOND IS WHEN WE THE LAST BOARD AND WHERE WE PLAN THAT BOND. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE PLAN IS THAT THE NEXT BOND WOULD INCLUDE SOMETHING FOR WILLIAMS. MY CONCERN WITH A SPECIAL BOND IS CODY YOUR POINT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE WILLIAMS AREA ARE NOT GOING TO CARE OR WORSE ARE GOING TO SAY I I DON'T WANT MORE BONDS SO I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A GOOD THING FOR THE WILLIAMS COMMUNITY. AND THEN IF WE HAVE TO COME BACK A YEAR OR TWO LATER AND WE'VE INCLUDED THIS IN A LARGER BOND THE RISK YOU RUN IS THOSE SAME PEOPLE SAYING WELL THEY'VE JUST REPURPOSE THAT EXACT SAME PROGRAM THAT'S ALREADY BEEN REJECTED I'M GOING TO REJECT THIS WHOLE THING AGAIN. SO THERE IS A POLITICAL COMPONENT TO THAT PLANNING THAT BOND WHICH IS WHY I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DOING A BOND ELECTION TO WIN THE NEXT LARGER BOND WOULD BE NECESSARY. WELL I HAVE TO SAY ADDING ON TO THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU GO THROUGH THE MACHINATIONS OF A BOND PROGRAM FOR JUST ONE PROJECT UNLESS THAT'S ALL WE NEED. BUT I WOULD EXPECT THAT WE GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS AND ENGAGE THE VOTERS TO CONSIDER AN ARRAY OF ITEMS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK IN A YEAR OR TWO AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE S.. I MEAN IT'S IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS OF OF BRINGING FORWARD A BOND AND IT TAKES THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. I MEAN IT TAKES TIME. AND THEN THERE'S THE INFORMATION ROAD SHOW THAT GOES ON. SO I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT'S A LOT TO GO THROUGH FOR JUST ONE PROJECT. I'M JUST THAT'S MY PERSPECTIVE. RANDY ARE YOU CURRENTLY I THINK WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS

[01:00:02]

[01:05:08]

AND IS REALLY WHAT THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES DESERVE TEACHERS PRINCIPALS. SO BUT HOW TOGETHER I REALLY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE DISTRICT ASSESSMENTS OF DISTRICT NEEDS IS DONE. SO WE CAN GO BACK TWO DAYS AND SEE I DO THINK IF YOU PUT JUST PUT WILLIAM ON A BOND IS HARD. IT'S ISOLATED AND IT'S YOU KNOW PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THEIR AREA WOULD NOT PROBABLY VOTE FOR YOU. I MEAN BY ITSELF IS HARD. BUT IF YOU KNOW WE WE HAVE WE HAVE ALL OUR NEEDS LISTED THERE. I MEAN I. CAN SEE MYSELF BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT CONFIDENTLY LACKING WE OUR DISTRICT NEEDS THIS. THAT INCLUDES WILLIAM BUT YOU INSTEAD OF YOU JUST PUT WILLIAM YOU KNOW I FEEL STRONGLY AND I NEED TO BE MORE COMPREHENSIVE. AND THAT'S THAT'S MY MEANING RIGHT NOW. I WANT AND I WOULD I WOULD JUST SAY THAT IN THIS SIZE OF DISTRICT THERE IS A LOT OF NEEDS HERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF COMMUNITY PEOPLE THERE'S A LOT OF STAFF TO SEE THE NEEDS ON THEIR CAMPUS AND A BOND TO GO OUT THERE WOULD JUST SERVE ONE CAMPUS I THINK. I THINK THAT WOULD NEED TO BE WELL THOUGHT THROUGH. I THINK A LOT OF A LOT OF COMMUNITY A LOT OF STAFF WOULD BE WHAT ABOUT US. WE'VE GOT SIGNIFICANT NEEDS AT OUR CAMPUS AS WELL. SO SIR I WOULD HOPE THAT BY THE FEBRUARY MEETING WHEN YOU THINK SPRING STARTS IT DIFFERS THAT WE COULD HAVE THE CONVERSATION WELL THE FACILITY ASSESSMENT WILL BE DONE. IT WON'T BE DONE. HE SAID UNTIL SUMMER THE WHOLE DISTRICT. OK. I DON'T THINK I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS ABOUT WILLIAMS. AND WE DEFINITELY COULD COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT IT AND BE OK BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT SEEING A BOND WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL PICTURE. RIGHT. YES BECAUSE JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I'M THINKING OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE ALL NOT BEEN IN RECENTLY THAT PROBABLY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. I JUST I'M NOT OPPOSED TO A ONE SCHOOL BOND BUT. I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT PUTTING ALL OF JUST ONE SCHOOL ON THE BALLOT WHEN I KNOW WHAT THE NEEDS ARE MANY. OK. IT SOUNDS SCARY PRECEDENT. I JUST WORRY ABOUT YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT TO DROP SCHOOL NAMES RIGHT NOW OR WAIT FOR THE ASSESSMENT TO COME OUT BUT I HAVE A FEELING I KNOW WHAT WE'LL SEE. OK. WELL I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE WILLIAMS DISCUSSION DOESN'T START UNTIL THE SUMMER. AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS SO WE'LL PROCEED. WE HOPE TO BRING YOU A MORE DETAILED REPORT ON WILLIAMS IN THE EARLY SPRING THAT WOULD BE HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO IN THIS BOND AND HERE'S WHAT THAT WOULD LEAVE FOR A FUTURE BOND. SO TO GIVE MORE CLEAR WE THINK ON WHAT WOULD BE PHASE. SO NOW I'M SAM PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2. SO PHASE 1 WOULD BE THE 14 15 16 MILLION DOLLAR PLAN. PHASE TWO IS WHATEVER'S LEFT. AND SO WE BRING THAT BACK IN MORE DETAIL. SO THEN WE KNOW WHAT WOULD NEED TO GO INTO THE NEXT BOND. AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK IN I SAY SUMMER. I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG TO WRAP UP THE FACILITY ASSESSMENTS AND THEN YOU KNOW I THINK THAT WOULD BE MORE OF A CONVERSATION OF THEN TAKING WHAT'S LEFT AND WILLIAMS IN THE PACKAGE B OR THE PHASE 2 AND TAILORING IT WITH WHAT OUR OTHER NEEDS ARE TO JUST START THE NEXT BOND SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE YEAH JUST TO TAKE THAT JUST A JUST A HAIR FURTHER IS JUST WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN SHOWING NOW TECHNICALLY MAY 8TH 2018 PBA AND SEEM AT RISK WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD. SO OUR ARCHITECTURAL AND SEEM AT RISK. WE WENT THROUGH A PROGRAMMING WORKSHOP TECHNICALLY

[01:10:05]

NANCY WAS A JOKE. WELL I I WILL REITERATE THE LOCKER COMMENT. NEITHER ONE OF MY CHILDREN IT WAS A JOKE. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHERE A LOCKER WAS FROM NINTH GRADE ON THAT DAY. IT WAS IT WAS NEVER USED. NONE OF MY CHILDREN USE THEIR LOCKERS EITHER. I STILL THINK WE HAD A SURVEY AND SEE WHAT THEY NEED. THE LOCKERS WEREN'T FUNCTIONAL AND SHIPPED IN SO KIDS COULDN'T MY KIDS COULDN'T USE THEM. BUT WE DO NEED TO ASK ABOUT DR. YORAM SOLOMON IN HIS BACKPACK WEIGHT ISSUE. WE DID A STUDY ON THAT. SO.

HE DID CONSIDER THAT. AND NANCY I'D BE INTERESTED IN TERMS OF WHAT SPENCER THINKS ABOUT THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE YOUR SON WAS A STUDENT CRITIC. YEAH. HE WOULD LIKE IT.

ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO THANK PETE PBT AND WHOEVER PARTICIPATE IN THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ASKED FOR IT LAST TIME AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK HE COMES OUT AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. AMAZING CREATIVITY. THANK YOU. WELL THAT'S OUR DESIGN TEAM. THAT'S NOT ME MODESTY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. FOR OUR NEXT REPORT SUSAN MODISETTETE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR STUDENT AND FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES WILL PROVIDE A REPORT ON POST-SECONDARY READINESS CLASSIC 2019. MISS MADISON THANK YOU. I'M INVITING JANET HANCOCK TO THE PODIUM WHILE JANET IS ACTUALLY NOT TO THE PODIUM TOO TO THE EMPTY CHAIR. THIS IS JENNA'S LAST EVENING TO BE ABLE TO TALK FOR A WEEK. SHE'S HAVING VOCAL CORD SURGERY IN THE MORNING SO. SO NEXT TIME I TALK TO YOU I WILL NOT BE CROAKING AT YOU. WHO IS THE GOAL. DON'T CALL ME IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I WON'T ANSWER. YEAH I KNOW YOU'LL MISS THAT. YOU KNOW KATHARINE HEPBURN. YES. I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT I SOUND LIKE AFTER THIS BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T. I HAVEN'T HEARD MYSELF FOR A WHILE. SO THIS EVENING THIS IS A REPORT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. REPORT TO YOU ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR STUDENTS IN POST-SECONDARY READINESS. THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU IS GATHERED

[01:15:02]

YES. THANK YOU. WE'LL START WITH. WITH INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE AS I THINK ALL OF YOU KNOW WE HAVE A FULL DIPLOMA PROGRAM. WE DON'T OFFER THE OPTION TO JUST DO A PARTIAL DIPLOMA THAT WE HAD IN THIS PAST YEAR. ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN STUDENTS THAT WERE CANADA. AND THAT'S FROM THE SENIOR CLASS. ONE HUNDRED OF THEM FINISHED THEIR EXTENDED ESSAY AND DID ALL THE WORK REQUIRED TO EARN A DIPLOMA WHICH IS ABOUT 84 PERCENT OF THAT CLASS WHICH IS A VERY HIGH MARK IN COMPARISON TO SOME OTHER PROGRAMS. AND THIS YEAR THEY HAVE A LOT MORE TESTS. SO SURE KAREN STANFORD CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THAT IN 86 PERCENT OF THE SCORES ON THOSE EXAMS WERE IT FOUR OR FIVE WHICH ARE THE TWO HIGHEST MARKS ON AN IDB EXAM. OK. NOW WE'LL TURN TO DO A CREDIT AND DR. DAVIS WILL SHARE MORE INFORMATION WITH YOU LATER ABOUT YOUR CREDIT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE WE'VE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN DUAL CREDIT COURSEWORK OVER THIS PAST YEAR. WE EXPECT THAT TO GO HIGHER THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE'VE ADDED BIOLOGY IS A COURSE OPTION AND WE'RE JUST SEEING INCREASING INTEREST IN THE DUAL CREDIT PROGRAM. ANOTHER REPORT OR REQUEST THAT WE HAD FROM A BOARD MEMBER WAS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE COURSES THAT WE'RE OFFERING WILL TRANSFER TO A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY IN THE HANDOUT THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKAGE. WELL WE'LL SHOW YOU THE RESULTS OF THAT WORK. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE COURSES WILL TRANSFER NOT ONLY TO A UNIVERSITY. JUST IN GENERAL BUT TO SOME SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THAT ARE VERY POPULAR AMONGST OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH STUDENTS ON REGISTERING FOR CREDIT COURSES THAT HOW THOSE WILL TRANSFER. WE KNOW THAT THERE EXCELLENT PREPARATION EVEN IF THEY DON'T TRANSFER TO A PARTICULAR MAJOR. BUT WE WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GETTING FROM THE INVESTMENT THAT THEY'RE MAKING. OKAY. WASN'T THERE SOMETHING AT THE LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRED THAT RELATIONS THAT REQUIRED THE RELATIONSHIP FOR CERTAIN CLASSES TO AUTOMATICALLY BE ACCEPTED INSENSITIVE AT THE NUMBER 42. IT MIGHT. YEAH I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE COMMON NUMBERING SYSTEM. MAYBE THE THAT TEXAS HAS BASICALLY MOST COLLEGES IN TEXAS AND DEFINITELY ALL PUBLICS ARE PART OF THIS. THIS COMMON NUMBERING SYSTEM WHICH REALLY IS DESIGNED TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR STUDENTS TRANSFERRING FROM ONE TO ANOTHER. SO THOSE COURSES ARE EQUIVALENT IN THE CONTENT IN THE NUMBERS.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT THE LEGISLATION THE LEGISLATION WAS PASSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO REQUIRING ALL OF OUR STATE SCHOOLS TO ACCEPT DUAL CREDIT COURSES. BUT THERE'S A LOOPHOLE IN THAT THEY CAN CHOOSE BASED ON THE PARTICULAR PROGRAM TO ACCEPT OR DENY THAT COURSE FOR THAT PARTICULAR MAJOR. SO FOR EXAMPLE IT WOULD IT WOULD DEFINITELY TRANSFERS PARTICULAR COURSE TO SAY TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY. BUT IF THAT WAS A PARTICULAR MAJOR THEY WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LOOPHOLE THAT OUR UNIVERSITIES CAN USE TO TO REFUSE CREDIT FOR. THAT APPLIES TO A PARTICULAR MAJOR. THAT'S WHAT THIS CHART SHOWS. SO IT WOULD IT WOULD TRANSFER AS A CREDIT BUT IT MIGHT NOT COUNT TOWARD THAT MAJOR. THEY THEY MIGHT REQUIRE THE STUDENT TO TAKE THE COURSE ONUS ON THE STUDENT TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. OR IS THEIR SERVICES OR SUPPORT WE HAVE TO HELP THEM ON THAT GUIDANCE. EACH COLLEGE PUBLISHES OR MOST COLLEGES PUBLISH THAT MEAN THE CHALLENGE IS IF A STUDENT IS TAKING A COURSE AS A 10TH GRADE YOU KNOW ENROLLING IN A COURSE AS A 10TH GRADER. THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT WHEN FIRST OF ALL BASED AT THAT AGE THEY'RE NOT POSITIVE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL AND CERTAINLY NOT WHAT WHAT MAJOR THEY'LL BE ACCEPTED INTO. SO IT'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A GAMBLE AND ADVISING THAT CLOSELY. JUST ONE OTHER LITTLE CAVEAT TO THAT. SO WHAT COLLEGES WILL DO IS THEY'LL ACCEPT THE ENTIRE FORTY TWO HOURS AND THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT THE MAJOR IS THE IF IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THAT MAJOR THEN THE STUDENT THEN JUST RECEIVES A LOT OF CREDIT AND IT MAY BE THAT A STUDENT'S GOING TO AN THEM AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAJOR IN BIOLOGY AND SO IT DOESN'T COUNT BUT THAT VERY SAME COURSE MIGHT COUNT AND

[01:20:05]

THEIR REQUIREMENTS AND THIS TYPE OF THING I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO LEARN AT THE COFFEE AT STARBUCKS WITH OTHER MOTHERS WHO FERRETING THIS OUT ARE LEARNED BY THE MISTAKES THAT THEY'VE UNCOVERED. I AGREE WITH TAMMY TO BE AS A PARENT THIS IS EASY FOR ME TO LOOK AT. THEN HAVING TO CALL SOMEBODY ELSE OK. NEXT WE'LL LOOK AT THE DUAL CREDIT COURSE ENROLLMENT. SO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE SHOWED YOU THE NUMBER OF

[01:25:02]

YOU CAN ASK THE QUESTION TOO SINCE WE'RE MAKING ALL ACTIVE GRADES TAKE THE PSAT HOW COME WE'RE NOT MAKING THE 11TH GRADERS ALL OF THEM TAKE IT. WHY IS IT OPTIONAL. IT'S I MEAN IT WOULD BE AN OPTION THERE BUT RIGHT NOW THE DISTRICT'S ABLE TO FUND 10TH GRADE. SO IT'D BE A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT WE'D BE MAKING TO OFFER IT TO ALL OF IT.

YEP. AND I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR BACK THAT DECISION WAS MADE BUT I THINK JERI'S POINT IS ONE WE WE OFFERED IT TO ALL OF THEM IN 10TH GRADE AND THEN THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COST IS NEVER A BARRIER BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THOSE STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN ACCESS THE TEST IF THEY LIKE TO IN 11TH GRADE. AND JUST AS A REMINDER THAT OUR 10TH GRADERS ARE TAKING THE PSAT BUT NOW ARE JUNIORS WILL BE TAKING THE ACTUAL S.A.T. JUNIOR YEAR. OKAY. SO WE'LL MOVE NEXT TO MENTIONED NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS. THE NUMBERS OF OUR STUDENTS WHO WHO RECEIVE THIS DESIGNATION IS REALLY KIND OF AMAZING WHEN YOU COMPARE OUR DISTRICT TO THOSE AROUND US AND EVEN ACROSS THE STATE. SO THIS PAST YEAR WE HAD 108 STUDENTS FROM OUR SENIOR CLASS NAMED AS NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS. NOW WE HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLASS OF 2020 AND IN THAT CLASS THERE ARE A HUNDRED AND TWENTY STATEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN NAMED SEMIFINALIST. SO THEY'LL FILL OUT THAT PACKET OF INFORMATION WHICH INCLUDES A COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION AND HOPEFULLY ALL 120 OF THOSE WILL BE NAMED AS FINALISTS. SO WE'RE CERTAINLY PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO RECEIVE THESE DESIGNATIONS. LET ME JUST GET BACK TO A QUESTION THAT GERRI JUST ASKED SO 10TH GRADERS WE ALL PAY FOR ALL THEIR PSAT THIS COMING YEAR WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR S.A.T. FOR ALL THE 11TH GRADERS. SO HOW I HOPE WE DON'T DISCOURAGE 11TH GRADERS FROM ALSO TAKING THE PSAT. SO HOW DO WE PLAN TO HANDLE THAT MESSAGING. YOU KNOW WE TYPICALLY VISIT ALL THOSE CLASSROOMS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND TALK ABOUT PSAT REGISTRATION AND THE BENEFITS TO STUDENTS. SO FOR EXAMPLE THEY GET A LOT OF STUDY TOOLS AFTER THEY RECEIVE THEIR SCORES. THEY CAN LOG IN THERE'S A PERSONAL STUDY PLAN MADE FOR THEM. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS REALLY JUST PROMOTING IT IN THEIR CLASSES PROMOTING IT WITH PARENTS THROUGH ANNOUNCEMENTS OPEN HOUSE THAT KIND OF THING. I THINK THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SUCH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING. SO WE WOULD CONTINUE TO DO

[01:30:01]

RAWLINGS MISSION TO TAKE IT A SECOND TIME WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHAT THEY DO. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AT THAT OPPORTUNITY. WE'VE SENT INFORMATION OUT TO THE PARENTS ALREADY THROUGH NON-VIOLENCE AND THROUGH OUR E NEWS. SO WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THAT. SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR KIDS. ONE BARRIER SOMETIMES IS IS ASKING A STUDENT TO GET UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO A CAMPUS. FIRST THERE'S THE WAKING UP PART WHICH IS MAYBE THE HARDEST BUT IF THEY'RE BEST STUDENTS AND TRY TO GET THEM OVER TO CAMPUS THEN THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE TEST NEARBY. SO THIS IS REALLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO ACCESS THAT TEST DURING THE SCHOOL DAY AT THEIR HOME CAMPUS. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND MORE INFORMATION WILL BE COMING ABOUT THAT OR AS WE CONTINUE TO MAKE PLANS. SO THIS NEXT SLIDE TALKS THAT ARE A S.A.T.

PARTICIPATION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WAS UP SLIGHTLY FROM LAST YEAR. AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW THAT RELATES ALSO TO THE ACTU. THAT'S ANOTHER THING IF I COULD GET INTO THEIR MINDS AND UNDERSTAND WHY THEY PICK ONE OVER THE OTHER OR BOTH. I WOULD LET YOU KNOW BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE S.A.T. AND THE ACTU KIND OF ARE ON A ROLLER COASTER BUT WE STAY VERY STABLE IN TERMS OF THE NUMBERS OF OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE TAKING ONE OR THE OTHER OR BOTH. EVERY YEAR YOU ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THAT 20 28 44 IS THAT 11TH GRADE AND 12TH GRADE. IT'S ACTUALLY ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. IT'S WHAT THE COLLEGE BOARD REPORTS DO. SO WE DO HAVE SOME 10TH GRADERS THAT LIKE TO DIVE IN EARLY. WE TYPICALLY READ OR RECOMMEND STUDENTS TAKEN AN ESSAY TO YOUR ACTU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SPRING OF THEIR JUNIOR YEAR BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE MENTIONED THAT COURSE CONTENT IS REALLY WHAT HELPS THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL. SO WHEN THEY DIVE IN REALLY EARLY SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL WAS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO AS MUCH COURSEWORK BUT WE RECOMMEND SPRING OF THE JUNIOR YEAR SO THAT THAT GIVES THEM TIME TO TAKE THE OTHER TEST OR TAKE ONE A SECOND TIME OR SOME OF THEM LIKE TO TAKE IT MANY MANY TIMES. WHICH RESEARCH SHOWS REALLY IS NOT THAT HELPFUL BUT YOU KNOW THE TESTING COMPANIES ARE HAPPY FOR THEM TO DO THAT AS MANY TIMES AS THEY LIKE.

OK. SO OUR NEXT SLIDE IS THAT THE SCORE COMPARISONS. SO THIS BREAKS IT DOWN BY THE TWO MAJOR PARTS OF THE READING AND WRITING SECTION YOU CAN SEE HERE HOW OUR STUDENTS SCORE COMPARED TO THEIR PEERS ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS IN THE NATION. AND ONCE AGAIN AS I'M HAPPY TO REPORT TO YOU EVERY YEAR OUR STUDENTS JUST DO EXTREMELY WELL.

AND I WOULD ATTRIBUTE THAT TO THE EXCELLENT TEACHING AND THE EXCELLENT CURRICULUM THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR THEM. SO OUR STUDENTS JUST DO A GREAT JOB ACROSS THE BOARD. AND THE NEXT ONE I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRENDS IN PLANO ISD OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE JUST CONTINUING TO RAISE THOSE SCORES IN BOTH READING WRITING AND MATH AS THE YEARS GO BY. SO THAT'S ALSO A TRIBUTE TO OUR STUDENTS AND THE HARD WORK THAT THEY PUT IN TO PREPARE JANET. I GUESS WE NEED TO BE EMOTIONALLY PREPARED BECAUSE IF ALL THE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE TAKING THE S.A.T.

RIGHT NOW MAYBE 75 PERCENT DO. AND THE CHILDREN WHO AREN'T TAKING IT PRIZE BUT THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF COMPLICATION IN THEIR LIFE IN TERMS OF CHALLENGING HOMEWORK AND SO FORTH. AND SO WE JUST NEED TO BE PREPARED. THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.

YES. THANK YOU. THAT'S A PREVIEW TO NEXT YEAR WE'LL SEE. YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANY HISTORICAL DATA. WE'RE HOPING THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WILL PERFORM WELL OK. SO NEXT WE'LL GO TO A C.T. PARTICIPATION. YOU CAN SEE THAT DROPS SLIGHTLY BUT AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WE HAD A FEW MORE STUDENTS TAKING THE S.A.T. LAST YEAR. SO REALLY THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE OF FIVE STUDENTS IN TOTAL SO WE REMAIN VERY STABLE IN TERMS OF OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE ACCESSING THAT THOSE ENTRANCE EXAMS AND I IMAGINE THIS TO WE HAVE EVERY YEAR LARGER NUMBERS OF STUDENTS ATTENDING CALLING

[01:35:02]

GINA AREN'T THE STUDENTS TAKING TSA WHICH IS. YES THEY ARE. YOU KNOW VERSION OR A DIFFERENT VERSION OF AND IT'S COMING FROM THE COLLEGE BOARD. AND TO DETERMINE WHERE STUDENTS NEED TO PLACE WHETHER THEY NEED DEVELOPMENTAL MATH OR DEVELOPMENTAL READING OR IF THEY CAN GO STRAIGHT INTO ENGLISH 13 I 13 TO THOSE ENTRY COURSES AND THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO MENTION TO YOU THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE THE TSA A TO SOME OF OUR SENIORS THAT HAVE NOT MET THOSE COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS BENCHMARKS THIS SPRING. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL. AND I THINK THAT'LL BE A GREAT KIND OF A REMOVE ONE OTHER BARRIER TO THOSE STUDENTS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO GET STARTED WITH A CALLING COLLEGE OR ANOTHER FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY OK. NEXT WE'LL LOOK AT OUR AC TI COMPOSITE SCORES. AND THIS IS A COMPARISON OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. IN THE ARE COMPARED TO THE STATE IN THE NATION. AND ONCE AGAIN YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR STUDENTS PERFORM EXTREMELY WELL ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THIS IS A BENCHMARK THAT AC T PROMOTES PRETTY HEAVILY BUT THEY HAVE SOME BENCHMARK SCORES THAT INDICATE WHETHER A STUDENT IS READY FOR COLLEGE LEVEL WORK. SO THIS IS A COMPARISON OF OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR READINESS FOR COLLEGE LEVEL WORK IN THOSE FOUR CORE AREAS. AND THEN IT'LL SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF OUR STUDENTS OR THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE ARE READY IN ALL FOUR AREAS AND THIS IS COMPARES COMPARED TO THE STATE IN THE NATION. SO AGAIN A KIND OF A BROKEN RECORD BUT OUR STUDENTS JUST CONTINUE TO EXCEL. ALL RIGHT. AND NOW WE'LL TURN TO AP AS YOU MAY HAVE PROBABLY HEARD WERE WE JUST PAST THE FIRST DEADLINE FOR ORDERING FOR FOUR AP EXAMS. THIS IS AN EFFORT BY THE COLLEGE BOARD TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO COMMIT EARLY TO INVESTING THEMSELVES IN THOSE COURSES AND IN TAKING THE AP EXAM AND PERFORMING WELL AND THEY HAVE RESEARCH THAT INDICATES THAT THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. SO WE WE HAVE REGISTERED ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN FALL COURSES FOR THE AP EXAMS NEXT MAY. SO THERE'S ONE BIG THING DONE. SO WE'RE INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT THROUGHOUT THE SPRING WE WILL HAVE A SECOND REGISTRATION THAT'LL BE HAPPENING IN MARCH FOR THOSE SENIOR HIGH STUDENTS THERE IN A SEMESTER COURSE FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER. SO THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG CHANGE IN TERMS OF THE PROCESSES THAT WE'RE UTILIZING FOR REGISTRATION. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF COMMUNICATION WITH OUR PARENTS ABOUT THIS. WE GAVE A HAND OUT TO EVERY PARENT AND STUDENT THAT REGISTERED FOR AN AP CLASS LAST YEAR IN THE SPRING SO THAT THEY'D BE AWARE OF THE CHANGE AND BE PREPARED. WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH FAMILIES IF THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY MEETING THAT EARLY DEADLINE. SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE PIECE OF INFORMATION THERE FOR YOU. THIS SLIDE INDICATES THE PERCENTAGE OF ALL OF OUR SENIOR HOUSE STUDENTS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN AP. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAD 37 22 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING AT THE SENIOR HOUSE WHICH IS 47 PERCENT OF THE CLASS. SO OUR CLASSES ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER IT'S NOT A REALLY SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN THE CLASS SIZE BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE STILL STILL PARTICIPATING AT THE SAME RATE IN TERMS OF AP AND THIS IS THAT SAME SLIDE AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS. AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT PERCENTAGE WENT UP SLIGHTLY AND WE THINK THAT THAT'S DUE TO THE ADDITION OF AN AP COURSE AT THE HIGH

[01:40:02]

YEAH. I SAID IN THE SURVEY. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PLANNING TO START AT A TWO YEAR COLLEGE AND THEN MOVE ON TO A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE. SO WE INCLUDE THAT IN OUR OUR

[01:45:01]

YEAH. WELL HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL. YEAH. THAT'S SOMETHING IF OUR CLOSEST ECONOMIC STUDENTS THEM SAYING WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AND THEN WHEN ACTUALLY THEY'RE ABLE TO DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THAT SUPPORT OF THE SUMMER TO GET THEM TO DO SOME THINGS. EXACTLY. THE UNIVERSITY CALLS IT SUMMER MELT AND WHEN ONE THING THAT WE DO HAVE IN OUR FAVORS THAT OUR COUNSELORS ARE ABLE TO BE THERE DURING A LOT OF THE SUMMER. SO WE'RE ABLE TO HELP WITH THAT BUT IT IS HARD TO IDENTIFY THOSE KIDS THAT SAY THEY'RE GOOD AND WE THINK THEY'RE ALL SET UP AND THEY'RE REALLY NOT. ONE THING THAT WE FOUND TO BE REALLY HELPFUL IS HAVING THOSE CALLING COLLEGE VISORS ON OUR CAMPUS BECAUSE IT'S VERY DAUNTING TO GO OVER TO SAY TO SPRING CREEK CAMPUS IT'S BIG. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THERE THAT FREQUENTLY THEY'VE MADE THAT CONNECTION WITH AN ADVISER THROUGHOUT THEIR THEIR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS AND THOSE THOSE ADVISORS ARE ON DUTY IN THE IN THE OFFICE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. SO WE FOUND THAT A LOT OF KIDS OR ARE GOING OVER AND CONNECTING WITH HENRY OR GREG BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEM AND THAT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL. SO JAN I'M ACTUALLY A LITTLE CONFUSED. I THOUGHT THIS INFORMATION WAS FROM THE CLEARINGHOUSE. THIS IS STUDENT REPORTED. THIS IS FROM THE SENIOR GRADUATION SURVEY AND FROM THE FINAL TRANSCRIPT LIST. OKAY. AND SO THERE WERE OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT SENIOR SURVEY. I'M IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE AND EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST ARTICULATE AND I PLAN TO GO TO COLLIN COLLEGE FOR A YEAR AND THEN TRANSFER. ARE WE GOING TO SEE THOSE RESULTS. I CAN PROVIDE THOSE TEA. OKAY. THAT FROM THE NOT NORTHEAST REPORT SURE. WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU OK A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ON THE BOARD ABOUT WHAT WE THINK OUR KIDS DO NEXT. DO THEY WANT TO GO AND TAKE A CTE PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO WORK AND THAT INFORMATION WILL HELP INFORM SOME OF OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR DECISION. ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE WE ALSO TRACK WHO'S PLANNING TO GO TO A VOCATIONAL OR TECHNICAL SCHOOL OR JOINING THE MILITARY OR JOIN THE MILITARY. WE ALSO ASK THEM IF THEY'RE PLANNING TO TAKE A YEAR OFF. DO YOU EVER THE OBAMAS OLDEST DAUGHTER TOOK A GAP YEAR THEN IT BECAME WILDLY POPULAR AND THERE ARE A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS HOSTING GAP YEAR EXPERIENCES BUT WE DO WE ASK THEM IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO TAKE A YEAR OFF. DO YOUR PLANS INCLUDE THEN STARTING OFF YOUR FOR YOUR EDUCATION. SO WE ASK THEM THAT AS WELL BUT I'LL GET THAT REPORT AND WE CAN FORWARD IT TO. OKAY. I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT IT'S ONLY 80 PERCENT BECAUSE THE 20 PERCENT OF THE KIDS THAT I THINK WE NEVER REALLY FIGURE OUT ARE THEY THE ONES PURSUING VOCATIONAL OR MILITARY AND SO WHENEVER WE CAN DO TO PUSH THAT HIGHER GIVING THEM CANDY BARS WHATEVER I THINK CANDY WORKS WELL USUALLY THAT COULD BE INEXPENSIVE KNOWLEDGE. YEAH I LIKE THAT IDEA OF JOLLY RANCHERS SHOULD DO THE TRICK I THINK. YEAH WELL WE'LL NEED A BOND FOR THAT. YES A SPECIAL BOND FOR GIFT CARDS. OK. AND THIS ONE WON'T BE AS CONTROVERSIAL BUT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA WON THE DAY FOR THIS LAST CLASS. WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS GOING TO OUR REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES. A LOT OF TIMES THE SCHOLARSHIP PACKAGES ARE GOOD AND OUR STUDENTS PERFORM WELL AND THEY'RE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SCHOLARSHIPS. SO I KNOW THERE AREN'T AS MANY EMOTIONAL TIES TO A LOT OF THESE SCHOOLS BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE

[01:50:01]

[02:01:30]

[02:01:41]

WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE HER ON OUR TEAM AND I'VE INTRODUCED HER TO YOU BEFORE. SHE'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR ADVANCED ACADEMICS COLLEGE CAREER MILITARY READINESS. WELL THANK YOU. PRESIDENT RICHARDS AND SUPERINTENDENT BOND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I'M VERY GLAD TO BE HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT SOME DOOR CREDIT INFORMATION TO YOU. SO WE WILL START WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A STREET STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT DOOR CREDIT IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF POST-SECONDARY READINESS AND IT PROVIDES OUR STUDENTS WITH PATHWAYS IN BOTH COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. IT HELPS OUR STUDENTS TO MEET OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS AND PILLARS 1 AND 2 IN MANY OF OUR DUAL CREDIT COURSES IN PLANO ARE PART OF THE TEXAS CORE CURRICULUM WHICH IS A 42 SEMESTER CREDIT. OUR CORE CURRICULUM FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN TEXAS PUBLIC HIGHER ED AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AS PART OF JANET'S PRESENTATION AS WELL. BUT THEY CAN'T TRANSFER TO ANY FOUR YEAR INSTITUTE OF HIGHER ED IN TEXAS AND ARE OFTEN TRANSFERABLE TO COLLEGES OUTSIDE OF TEXAS. DEPENDING ON THE MAJORS AGAIN AS JANICE SAID OUR HEALTH SCIENCES ACADEMY PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO EARN WORKFORCE AND ACADEMIC DUAL CREDIT.

ALL STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE OUR HSA PROGRAM COMPLETE A ALSO COMPLETE A LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATE AND ARE WELL ON THEIR WAY TO AN ASSOCIATE OF ASIDE APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE AND AN ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE OF COURSE CAN BE A TERMINAL DEGREE OR JUST A STEPPING STONE TOWARDS TOWARDS MORE. SO MOVING ON TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THE ADVANTAGES THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU HERE ARE DUAL CREDIT COURSES ARE TAUGHT ON THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES BY PLANO ISD STAFF OR BY CALLING COLLEGE FACULTY AND THEY INCLUDE BOTH ACADEMIC AND WORKFORCE COURSES. AND I KNOW JANICE SHOWED YOU QUITE A FEW NUMBERS EARLIER. I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A COUPLE MORE NUMBERS AND YOU'LL SEE JUST A JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON THAT HERE. IT'S IMPORTANT ALSO THAT I REMIND YOU OF SOME LEGISLATIVE UPDATES THE STATE GOALS AND THE RESEARCH ON DUAL CREDIT. AS WE LOOK AT THIS TONIGHT. SO FIRST AS FAR AS LEGISLATION CONCERNED I WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WELL MORE THAN A COUPLE TO 2013 HOUSE BILL 5 HELPED FOCUS STUDENTS PATHS TOWARDS COLLEGE AND WORKFORCE READINESS AND TWO YEARS LATER THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD SET GOALS BASED ON COLLEGE READINESS DATA IN TEXAS. THIS IS THE SUCCESSOR TO THE STATE'S 2000 AS A YEAR NOT A NUMBER. WELL I GUESS IT'S A NUMBER OF. WELL ANYWAY YOU GET THE POINT. THANK YOU. THE SUCCESSOR TO THE YEAR 2000. CLOSING THE GAPS BY 2015. IT'S AN AMBITIOUS BUT NECESSARY PLAN TO ENSURE THAT TEXAS IS AMONG THE HIGHEST ACHIEVING STATES IN THE COUNTRY. DUAL CREDIT PLAYS A MAJOR PART IN THESE GOALS LEADING TO BOTH CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES. AND IT IS A LOWER COST OPTION

[02:05:06]

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORDS ON A SLIDE I PROMISE NOT TO READ THEM TO YOU. THIS WAS PASSED IN 2017 AND WITH REGARD TO MEETING STATEWIDE GOALS WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PLANO STUDENTS ARE IN PAY AND PARENTS AS JANA TOLD YOU EARLIER ARE INFORMED THROUGH INFORMATION MEETINGS AT CAMPUSES ACADEMIC COUNSELING AND INFORMATION IN OUR COURSE GUIDE WHICH WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THIS YEAR THE INFORMATION THAT'S PROVIDED IN OUR COURSE GUIDE REGARDING DUAL CREDIT. ALSO COLLIN COLLEGE PROVIDES COUNSELORS FOR OUR STUDENTS ON OUR SENIOR HIGH CAMPUSES AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE DUAL CREDIT AND WORK TO INCREASE OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. THESE ARE THE COURSES THAT WE CURRENTLY OFFER ACADEMIC DUAL CREDIT COURSES I DID NOT INCLUDE THE HSA COURSES HERE BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE YEARS THAT THESE COURSES WERE ADDED BUT DATA DATES BACK TO 2008 THAT I COULD FIND BUT I'M NOT SURE WHICH OF THESE WERE BEGUN IN THAT YEAR. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO MISLEAD ANYONE. I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME THAT WERE OFFERED BEGINNING LAST YEAR AND THEN WE STARTED THE ENGLISH 23 32 AND 23 33 THIS YEAR AS WELL AS THE BIOLOGY COURSE THIS YEAR. ALSO MOST OF THESE COURSES NOT ALL BUT MOST OF THESE COURSES FALL INTO THE LIST OF COURSES REQUIRED TO BE CORE COMPLETE IN TEXAS ONE OF THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE IS TO INCREASE OUR OFFERINGS IN PLANO SO THAT WE DO BECOME CORE COMPLETE. WE'RE WORKING ON THIS WITH COLLIN COLLEGE ADDING THE COMMUNICATIONS COURSE THAT YOU DID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WILL HELP US IN THAT PROCESS FOR SPEECH. CAN YOU COMPLAINT EXPLAIN WHAT CORE COMPLETE MEANS. YES. SO THERE IS A SET OF 42 HOURS THAT IS RECOGNIZED BY THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD AS THE CORE COURSES WHICH COLLEGES MUST ACCEPT ANYWHERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. AND SO STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE THE CORE OF 42 CAN TRANSFER THOSE CREDITS SOMEHOW WHETHER IT'S TOWARDS THEIR MAJOR OR JUST TO COUNT AS ELECTIVE COURSES IN ANY MAJOR IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO THEY DON'T ALL COME OUT AS AN EXACT MATCH AND I KNOW ON YOUR CHART IT SHOWED YOU WHAT THE EXACT MATCHES WERE BUT THERE'S ALSO THE PROBABILITY AND LIKELIHOOD THAT YOU'LL SEE THINGS WHEN YOU IF YOU GO INTO EACH OF THOSE MAJORS WHERE IT SHOWS CORE COURSE INSERT HERE. AND SO KIDS CAN HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT WHICH ONES OF THESE THEY WANT TO USE TOWARDS THEIR MAJOR. DOES THAT HELP. OKAY MOVING ON I RETRIEVED SOME INFORMATION JANNA AND I COMPARED A LITTLE BIT AND LOOKING AT OUR NUMBERS BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU ARE UNDER DUPLICATED HEAD COUNT AND I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM COLLIN COLLEGE AND SO THEY HAD THIS INFORMATION DATING BACK TO 2014 15 AND SO FOR THE SCHOOL YEARS FROM 2014 15 UNTIL NOW YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASE IN OUR NUMBERS AND STUDENTS AND THIS SLIDE COULD BE ENROLLED IN ONE SEMESTER OR TWO SEMESTERS EACH YEAR. THERE JUST THIS JUST STUDENTS THOUGH NOT COURSES OR NOTHING IS DOUBLED. ON THE NEXT SLIDE I THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT INFORMATION AS WELL. CREDITS AND COLLEGE HOURS MEAN THE SAME THING. SO THE WAY THAT IT TRANSFERRED TO ME WAS WAS THROUGH ATTEMPTED CREDITS AND COMPLETED CREDITS AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT COURSES IT IS OURS. ON THIS SLIDE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS STUDENTS AND PTSD HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED THEIR ATTEMPTS

[02:10:03]

THE PERCENTAGE IN 2018 IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER BECAUSE WE DO NOT YET HAVE THE DATA ON STUDENTS WHO ENROLLED IN THE SECOND YEAR AFTER THEIR GRADUATION. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE DIP AT THE END OF THIS GRAPH ON THE NEXT SLIDE. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO TRANSFER FROM WHAT YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT IN JANIS PRESENTATION BUT YOU TALK ABOUT KIDS WHO START AT A TWO YEAR COLLEGE AND ACTUALLY GO ON TO COMPLETE SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR PLANO ISD KIDS AREN'T FINISHING THE TWO YEAR DEGREE AS MUCH AS THEY'RE FINISHING THE FOUR YEAR DEGREE SO THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF THE PART OF THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION EARLIER BUT I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT THAT'S THE THE ANSWER.

ANYWAY THIS SHOWS COMPLETE WITHIN SIX YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AND OUR AVERAGE IS 56 PERCENT FOR PARTICIPATING COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. REMEMBER THAT NOT EVERY STUDENT NOT EVERY COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY IN THE UNITED STATES PARTICIPATES WITH THE NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE. THERE ARE ABOUT 36 HUNDRED MEMBERS OF NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE IN THE COUNTRY AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SHOWS THAT THERE'S OVER FORTY SIX HUNDRED DEGREE GRANTING UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES I THINK LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS YOU STRANDS ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED POPULATION INCREASES ALREADY JUST SEEING THAT THEY ARE STABLE FOR THE LAST SINCE 2011. I THINK IS REALLY KUDOS TO OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES. WE HAVE MORE KIDS WHO ARE LIVING IN CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THERE'S STILL VALUE IN COLLEGE. YES MA'AM I FULLY AGREE AND I HOPE THAT TREND CONTINUES AND EVEN EVEN RISES AS WE PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO THEM. SO TOO FAR THE CASE FOR DUAL CREDIT RECENT RESEARCH FOR FOR DUAL CREDIT IN TEXAS TELLS US THAT THERE HAS BEEN A POSITIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS IN OUR STATE. ALL OF THESE THINGS ABOUT DUAL CREDIT STARTED BEING IMPLEMENTED. YOU KNOW MANY YEARS AGO IF A LOT OF YOU HAD BEEN FOLLOWING THE DUAL CREDIT TRENDS IN TEXAS AND IT STARTED KIND OF SLOW BUT IT REALLY BEEFED UP AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF LEGISLATION TO INCREASE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND TO DO AWAY WITH BARRIERS AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE INCREASING ALL OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES BUT NOBODY WAS DOING ANY RESEARCH ON IT.

AND SO THERE I INCLUDED SOME RESEARCH INFORMATION FOR YOU THERE LONG. I KNOW IF YOU IF YOU CLICKED INTO ANY OF THEM OR GOT A CHANCE TO KNOW THEIR EACH OVER 100 HUNDRED PAGES LONG. BUT I JUST YOU KNOW JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING YOU CAN ALWAYS READ RESEARCH RIGHT. BUT IT IS GREAT BECAUSE THESE THINGS SHOW UP IN THAT RESEARCH AND I THOUGHT THESE THREE POINTS WERE BIG TO HIGHLIGHT SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW DUAL CREDIT FITS IN TO OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WITHIN THE CONFINES OF CCI. MA I SAID EARLIER THAT DOOR CREDIT FITS INTO BOTH COLLEGE AND CAREER READY AND THAT IS VERY TRUE AS STATED. I'M SORRY INDICATOR THREE AND I START THAT THEREFORE YOU RELATES DIRECTLY TO DUAL CREDIT COURSES OF COURSE. AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER WORK FIRST FOR WORK FORCE DUAL CREDIT OFTEN LEADS TO AN INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATION. SO THAT WOULD BE A NUMBER SIX ON THIS LIST. SO DUAL CREDIT CAN PLAY A PART IN BOTH OF THOSE. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU

[02:15:03]

SINCE I'VE ARRIVED SO I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT NEXT STEPS IN TERMS OF EMBEDDING FACULTY. COULD YOU ELABORATE MORE ON THAT. YES. SO FOR A TEACHER TO BE ABLE TO TEACH COLLEGE LEVEL COURSES FOR COLLIN COLLEGE OR FOR ANY TWO YEAR COLLEGE IN THE STATE THEY HAVE TO HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE PLUS 18 HOURS SPECIFICALLY IN THE FIELD THAT THEY WANT TO TEACH BEYOND THE MASTERS. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S QUITE A QUITE A BIT OF SCHOOL. AND SO WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE TEACHERS TO DO THAT AND TRY TO GET YOU KNOW LOOK AT WHEN WE HAVE OPENINGS TO HIRE TEACHERS MAYBE WHO ALREADY HAVE THOSE CREDENTIALS OR TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION. BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS SO 18 HOURS OVER THE MASTERS OR 18 HOURS IN THEIR TOPIC AREA OVER THE MASTERS. WELL THE REASON WHY WE LIKE THAT SO MUCH IS BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. I MEAN MANY OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND US HAVE THEIR STUDENTS HAVE TO GO TO A CAMPUS THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE INN. WE'VE NOT HAD TO HAVE THAT MODEL. SO IT REALLY HELPS US TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE MORE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. A QUICK QUESTION IS THERE.

WHAT IS IT. IS IT A NUMBER OF COURSES THAT WE NEED TO GET ALIGNED WITH COLLIN COLLEGE IN ORDER TO BE CORE COMPLETE. ARE WE. WHAT ARE WE DEFICIENT WHAT NUMBER OF COURSES ARE WE DEFICIENT GETTING THERE. SO IT MIGHT BE. THANK YOU MY BOSS JUST GOT MY

[02:20:17]

[02:25:02]

YEAH SORRY ALL RIGHT. THERE WE GO. WE HAVE CTE COURSES THAT RANGE AND START AT SEVENTH GRADE AND THEY GO ALL THE WAY UP TO OUR 12TH GRADE THIS YEAR THE STATE HAS ADDED TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS UNDER OUR CURRENT TECHNOLOGY UMBRELLA AND SO WITH THAT WE ADDED ABOUT 11 COURSES THAT TOTAL ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN IN THE DISTRICTS AND WE ADDED ABOUT 17 TEACHERS AND SO TOOK UP COURSES OUR COURSES LIKE OUR COMPUTER SCIENCE THAT WAS THE MAJORITY OF OUR COURSES THAT MOVED OVER UNDER CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND THEN ALSO WEB DESIGN. AND SO YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW LIKE I SAID WE HAVE A HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN COURSES IN THE 15 CAREER CLUSTERS THAT THE STATE RECOGNIZES AND ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO TEACHERS IN THERE. AND SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR FALL COURSE ENROLLMENT WHICH IS A SNAPSHOT THAT I TAKE ABOUT EVERY OCTOBER I SAY EVERY OCTOBER. LAST OCTOBER I TOOK IT IN THIS OCTOBER I'VE TAKEN IT SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THIS POSITION. WE HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED STUDENT OR SIXTEEN HUNDRED ENROLLED IN OUR COURSES WHICH IS UP FROM ABOUT 13000 LAST YEAR. SO WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE THAT CAN BE DUE TO THE COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES BEING ADDED. AND I THINK WE ALSO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL POPULATION THAT'S ENROLLED IN OUR COURSES ONCE WE'RE PART OF OUR CURRENT TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION A BIG PORTION OF OUR COURSES IS WHAT WE CALL OUR OTHER EDUCATION AND WITH OUR OTHER EDUCATION WE HAVE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH WE REFER TO AS CTA SOS AND SO IN THE DISTRICT WE HAVE EIGHT SEATS. YES THOSE THAT ARE CO CURRICULAR ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE AN EXTENSION OF OUR CLASSROOM. AND SO IN THESE ORGANIZATIONS THE STUDENTS CAN BE MEMBERS AND THAT CAN AS A MEMBER THEY CAN GET INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY SERVICE THEY CAN COMPETE IN COMPETITIONS AND THEY CAN JUST TAKE PART OF ANY ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ON CAMPUS AND SO FROM OUR CTA SOS WE HAD ABOUT OVER OR WE HAD OVER 10000 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS LOGGED LAST YEAR WHICH IS AMAZING. WE YOU KNOW WE REALLY STRESS IN OUR CTA SO AS TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAD ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE STUDENTS ADVANCED TO STATE LEVEL COMPETITION AND FROM THERE 30 STUDENTS ADVANCED TO THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL COMPETITION. SO WHEN WE WERE COMPETING AT THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION WE HAD FOUR STUDENTS WHO PLACED FIRST AT THE BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS OF AMERICA COMPETITION AND WE HAD SIX STUDENTS PLACED FIRST AT THE INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF COMPETITION WHICH IS AMAZING. YEAH. AND SO ALSO JUST TO KIND OF PUT IN PERSPECTIVE WITHIN OUR AG SCIENCE PROGRAM WE HAD OVER 300 STUDENTS COMPETE AT VARIOUS LEVELS ACROSS THE STATE AND OUR AG PROGRAM AND SO JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING IN THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. KAREN CAN I ASK A QUESTION IF WE MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE WITH THESE EIGHT ORGANIZATIONS ARE THEY IN EVERY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL I BELIEVE SO YEAH IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. YEAH SOME MAY HAVE A

[02:30:07]

AND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE HAVE SOME ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS LIKE DO WE HAVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS VOLUNTEER FFA. SO WE HAVE MENTAL SCHOOL THAT DO THE JUNIOR FFA PROGRAM TWO OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT ARE PRETTY ACTIVE IN THAT RIGHT NOW. R. WILSON IN HENDRICK THEY HAVE A PRETTY STRONG JUNIOR FFA PROGRAM BUT CAN STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ABSOLUTELY YOU CAN START FFA IN THE THIRD GRADE AND WE PROMOTE THEM. SO THEN WE LOOK AT SOME OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS SOME OF OUR OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS FROM LAST SCHOOL YEAR AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT CERTIFICATIONS THERE'S TWO WAYS THAT WE LOOK AT CERTIFICATIONS IN THE CITY HE WROTE. ONE IS INDUSTRY BASED CERTIFICATIONS THAT ARE TIED TO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE WITH THE CCMA. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE OTHER CERTIFICATIONS THAT ARE GIVEN ACROSS THE DISTRICT THAT ARE JUST CERTIFICATIONS THAT ARE TIED TO OUR CURRICULUM THAT ARE INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED THAT THEY MAY NOT BE ON THE ACCOUNTABILITY LIST AND SO LAST YEAR WE GAVE TWENTY FIVE TWENTY FIVE AND CERTIFICATIONS AND THAT CAN RANGE FROM CPR. SO YOU'LL RECOGNIZE LAST YEAR THE STUDENTS WHO SAVE THE LIFE BY GIVING YOU KNOW BY GIVING CPR CERTIFIED VETERINARY ASSISTANT WE GIVE MOS CERTIFICATION MOS CERTIFICATION IS A HUGE ONE THAT WE GIVE HERE IN THE DISTRICT CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT AND THEN WELDING CERTIFICATION.

SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE SERVER OCCASIONS I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN A MINUTE. BUT THAT NUMBER IS UP FROM 350 FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND SO ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE AN ACHIEVEMENT WE HAVE IS A GATEWAY SUMMER CAMP WHICH IS A PROJECT LEAD THE WAY SUMMER OPPORTUNITY IN OUR ENGINEERING PROGRAM. AND SO THAT RUNS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR GIFTED STUDENTS DURING THE SUMMER SCHOOL. AND THE PROGRAM IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS TO GAIN A GREATER KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENGINEERING WORLD. AND SO A LOT OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS TEACH THAT PROGRAM. WE USUALLY HAVE WHEREVER WE HAVE THE SIX PROGRAM IN THE SUMMER WE ALSO RUN THAT PROGRAM AND SO WE HAD ABOUT 160 INCOMING SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS ENROLLED IN THAT PROGRAM LAST SUMMER. AND SO IT'S ABOUT A WEEKLONG PROGRAM OR FOUR DAYS DEPENDING ON HOW IT HITS AND YOU RUN THREE DIFFERENT TWO TO THREE DIFFERENT SESSIONS ON THAT. AND THEN ONE SOMETHING THAT'S NEW THAT WE WANT TO OF COURSE HIGHLIGHT IS THE PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AUTOMOTIVE CLASS HAS HOSTED THEIR FOURTH ANIMAL CUSTOM CAR SHOW AND SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY AWESOME ABOUT THIS IS IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO GO OVER THERE THEY DO IT IN THE SPRING. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IT'S BEEN HIT OR MISS WITH THE WEATHER THEY'VE RESCHEDULED A FEW TIMES THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF FORMER STUDENTS WHO ARE IN OUR AUTOMOTIVE PROGRAM WHO HAVE WORKED ON PROJECTS AND PUT CARS TOGETHER THAT THEN COME BACK AND BRING THEM TO THE COMMUNITY CAR SHOW AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT GET INVOLVED IN THAT AS WELL. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE STUDENTS AS WE LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE THE CITY WORK BASED LEARNING IN THE CTE WORLD. OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO GET HANDS ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR KIDS AND SO WORK BASED LEARNING IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS TO DO THAT. AND AS YOU SEE UP THERE THOSE ARE A LIST OF A COUPLE OF AREAS THAT OUR STUDENTS GET WORK BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND SO JUST TO KIND OF RUN IT DOWN AND GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THAT. LAST YEAR WE HAD ONE HUNDRED NINETY FOUR STUDENTS IN OUR CAREER PREPARATION COURSES THAT WORKED WITH LOCAL BUSINESS PARTNERS SO THAT'S LIKE OUR CO-OP CLASS WE HAD TWO HUNDRED NINETY ONE HEALTH SCIENCE STUDENTS OBSERVE AND TRAIN AND CLINICAL ROTATIONS AT OVER 100 AND OUR AREA HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL FIELD SITES. SO IS OUR CLINICAL ROTATION KIDS THAT THEY GO TO VET CLINICS THEY GO TO PHARMACIES. IF YOU'VE BEEN TO SOME OF THE MAJOR HOSPITALS YOU MAY SEE OUR STUDENTS IN GREY SCRUBS JUST KIND OF PAYING ATTENTION AND LEARNING. WE HAD 70 HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY STUDENTS 12TH GRADE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A PRECEPTOR SHIP WHICH ARE BUILT SKILLS BASED ACTIVITIES SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN OUR CLINICAL ROTATIONS BECAUSE THEY'RE TIED TO A CERTIFICATION AND THEY'RE LEARNING HANDS ON SKILLS WHERE OUR ROTATIONS KIDS ARE ROTATING THROUGHOUT FACILITIES. WE HAD 39 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN OUR VETERINARY TECHNICIAN PROGRAM THAT THEY WENT AND WORKED PAID OR UNPAID INTERNSHIPS AT LOCAL VET CLINICS. WE HAD TWO STUDENTS INVOLVED IN THE FLORAL DESIGN OPPORTUNITY AT LOCAL FLORAL SHOPS AT PLANO EAST. WE HAVE 45 STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE PRACTICUM AT THE EASTSIDE BISTRO SO AS YOU KNOW LOWEST CONNEMARA CULINARY TEACHER OVER THERE RUNS A FULL KITCHEN AND SHE DOES CATERING AND HAS OPPORTUNITIES AND SO THOSE KIDS HAVE A

[02:35:04]

THIS YEAR WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN FRESHMEN ONE HUNDRED NINE SOPHOMORES 78 JUNIORS AND WE ARE HOPING TO GRADUATE 54 SENIORS AND WE'RE HELPING A FEW OF THEM. LIKE WE SHARED WITH YOU I THINK LAST TIME WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THEIR ASSOCIATES IN APPLIED SCIENCE THIS YEAR BEFORE GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL. SO WHAT WOULD YOU ATTRIBUTE THE INCREASED ENROLLMENT NUMBERS. SO I THINK AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE ON THEY HAVE TAKEN MORE STUDENTS. I DON'T THINK PART OF TAKING THE STUDENTS AND THE NUMBERS INCREASING IS MAKING SURE THAT OF COURSE WE HAVE THE CLASSROOM SIZE BUT ALSO THAT COLIN IS ABLE TO FIND BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE EXPERIENCES HAVE CLINICAL EXPERIENCES TIED TO THEM. AND SO MAKING SURE THAT COLIN CAN PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS AS WELL. BUT I I THINK THE PROGRAMS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T HAVE SOME OF THE ENGINEERING THE BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING. THEY SAW SOME STUDENTS LEAVING BECAUSE THAT WASN'T THE BEDSIDE MANNERS AND THE BEDSIDE ACTIVITIES WEREN'T WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR AND SO THEY'VE KIND OF TWEAKED IT A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE DO LOSE SOME ACROSS THE WAY. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE LARGEST CLASS THEY'VE TAKEN.

AND THEN ALSO IN THE HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY AS WE TALKED ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE I THINK THIS IS JUST A GREAT LOOK AT OUR GRADUATING CLASS AND THOSE STUDENTS AND SO WE'RE ALMOST 6000 HOURS INTO COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT WAS PERFORMED BY THOSE HEALTH SCIENCE STUDENTS. AND SO THAT'S A LOT OF HOURS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE BUSY TAKING WORK BASED ON AN AREA YOU KNOW DUAL CREDIT CLASSES. THOSE STUDENTS ALSO HAD ONE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY OFFERED TO THEM AND 49 OF OUR CERTIFICATIONS WERE HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY CERTIFICATIONS. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR HOURS OF COLLEGE CREDIT EARNED BY THE CLASSIC 2019 WE HAD ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETEEN WORKFORCE TOTAL CREDIT HOURS AND ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY SIX ACADEMIC DOOR CREDIT HOURS AND SO AS WE'VE GONE ON IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THAT ACADEMIC TOOL BECAUSE THOSE STUDENTS ARE WORKING TOWARDS YOU KNOW THE STACK OF ALL DIRECT CREDENTIALS WITH COLIN THAT THEY CAN YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY CONTINUE AT COALMINER OR GO TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY OR GO OUT INTO WORK FORCE COMMERCIAL. QUICK QUESTION YET. DO WE KNOW HOW MANY OF OUR HEALTH SCIENCE STUDENTS GO ON TO OR I KNOW IT'S A RECENT PROGRAM BUT THAT ARE LOOKING TO GO ONTO THE NURSING PROGRAM AT COLLIN COLLEGE. WE DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER WE COULD PULL OUR STUDENTS AND ASK YOU KNOW I THINK WITH COLIN OPENING UP MORE OF THAT NURSING PROGRAM SOME ADDITIONAL PATHWAYS WE MAY SEE AN INCREASE IN THAT BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT. DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT SEE A CHANGE IN THE COURSE OFFERINGS AS WELL FOR THE HEALTH SCIENCE STUDENTS BECAUSE OF THAT PROGRAM. SO WHEN WE HAVE MET WITH COLIN A FEW TIMES YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT COLIN OFFERS TO US THEY HAVE TO OFFER TO THE GENERAL POPULATION AS WELL AND SO ONE OF THE AREAS THAT COLIN HAS PROPOSED IS THAT MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM. AND SO THEY THINK THAT GENERICALLY THAT'S A GREAT PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS IT'S PRETTY WIDE YOU KNOW THEY CAN DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WITH THAT AND WHAT THEY'RE CALLING M.A. AND SO THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REVIEWING COLIN DOES NOT HAVE IT APPROVED AT THIS TIME. AND SO WE'RE ONE WE'RE TALKING TO OUR FOUR INCOMING FRESHMEN POTENTIAL INCOMING FRESHMEN FOR NEXT YEAR. IT IS THERE IT IS MENTIONED AS A POTENTIAL. BUT THOSE COURSES THEY WON'T START TAKING THEM UNTIL THEY'RE JUNIORS AND SENIORS. SO IT'S A CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING WE'RE JUST NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU. LET ME ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION. SO THEY REALLY COME AND YELL FOR KIND OF PIVOTING IN AND WHEN YOU FOUND OUT THAT THE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES AREA OF STUDY WASN'T REALLY BEING THERE WEREN'T OPPORTUNITIES THERE. SO WHAT'S THE PROCESS BY WHICH YOU GO TO DISCOVER THAT. SO THAT WAS PRE KAREN WAS PRETTY A LOT OF US AND SO I THINK WHAT THEY SAW WERE THERE A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT WERE LEAVING AND SO ANYTIME A STUDENT LEAVES OUR HEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAM AND WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THIS LAST WEEK THERE IS A FULL WRITE UP I'M NOT A FULL WRITE UP BUT THERE ARE DETAILS ON WHY EVERY STUDENT'S LEAVING AND SO AM HOWARD BATES WHO OUR COUNSELOR IS OVER THERE I SAID HEY HOWARD CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ON WHY THESE STUDENTS ARE LEAVING. HE'S LIKE I'VE GOT A LIST. WHAT'S WHAT DO YOU WANT. AND SO I THINK IT'S JUST YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE SEEING STUDENTS LEAVE WE DON'T WANT EM LEAVING OUR PROGRAM WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO LOSE SOME STUDENTS BUT WHY ARE WE LOSING THEM. AND THEN WHAT CHANGES CAN WE MAKE TO DO THAT. AND SO I REALLY THINK THEY FOUND YOU KNOW THE ADDITION OF THAT PROJECT LEAD THE WAY IN THE RESEARCH SIDE OF THE ENGINE OR YOU KNOW THE BIOMED PIECE WAS AN INTEREST OF THOSE KIDS AND WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THOSE NUMBERS. SO I LOVE THAT I LOVE THE IDEA OF ALMOST LOOKING AT THAT

[02:40:03]

LOOKING TO SEE WHAT CERTIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND ALL OF OUR PATHWAYS. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE MOST POPULAR ONE IS AMONG OUR STUDENTS. YEAH. SO IT'S CMOS CERTIFICATION AS A MICROSOFT OFFICE THAT'S LIMITS GIVEN IN OUR BUSINESS COURSE OUR BIM CLASS OR BEEN AT BUSINESS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT COURSE. THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST POPULAR ONE AND IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THAT COURSE. AND I MEAN IT'S FULLY EMBEDDED RIGHT IN THAT CURRICULUM AND SO THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A CERTIFICATION I THINK THE DISTRICT'S BEEN GIVING FOR YEARS AND YEARS. IS THERE A CERTIFICATION ON THAT

[02:45:02]

PRESIDENT RICHARDS AND THIS WILL COME UP IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. SO AM I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE LIVING ONE SCHOOL YEAR AND PLANNING FOR THE NEXT AND SO AS YOU HEARD IN OUR PRESENTATIONS AND TONIGHT IT'S IT'S WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO NEXT. AND SO WE'RE BRINGING OUR FIRST SEVERAL DRAFTS OF THE CALENDAR FOR 2020 ONE SCHOOL YEAR. WE BEGAN THIS WORK REALLY THESE CONVERSATIONS BEGAN WITH THE TEAM IN AUGUST. WE DEVELOPED A SURVEY. WE HAD THE SURVEY OUT FOR ALMOST A MONTH OR A LITTLE LONGER AND WE HAD OVER 5000 PARENTS STUDENTS TEACHERS STAFF MEMBERS RESPOND TO THIS SURVEY AND LESLIE PRESENTED THOSE RESULTS. AND I GUESS MAYBE A MONTH AGO THE WORKSHOP AND THEN WE BEGAN DEVELOPING BASED ON THE SURVEYS BASED ON OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES THEN WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SOME VIABLE OPTIONS AS FAR AS A CALENDAR FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. AND I'VE ASKED DR. BROCKMAN TO PLEASE STEP IN AT ANY TIME AND THERE WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL VETTING TEAMS AND THIS HAS GONE TO OUR AM STUDENT ADVISORY. IT WILL GO TO FACULTY ADVISORY IN DECEMBER. WE'RE BRINGING THIS TONIGHT AND WE SHARED OUR CALENDAR DRAFTS WITH OUR STUDENT ADVISORY TODAY. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AT CABIN CABINET OVER MULTIPLE WEEKS. AND WE ALSO HAVE REALLY DUG INTO THIS IN OUR AND PLUCK MEETINGS AS WELL AND SO AND ANYWAY SO WE'RE GLAD TO BE SHARING THOSE DRAFTS WITH YOU TODAY. OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO BRING BACK OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION AT THE DECEMBER BOARD MEETING. SO LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PARAMETERS AS WE BEGAN TO DIG IN TO WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR US AND NEXT YEAR FIRST AND FOREMOST ONE OF THE NON-NEGOTIABLE IS THAT WE HAVE TO MEET THE SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED REQUIRED INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES. SO THAT IS CERTAINLY IT PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHEN THEY MOVE FROM 180 DAYS TO MINUTES AT THE SAME TIME. IT ALSO CAN PROVIDE SOME SOME CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY. SOME OF THE OTHER GUIDING PRINCIPLES THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY STATE DRIVEN AND NON-NEGOTIABLE THAT KIND OF OUR STANDARD OF WHAT WE WANT TO SEE SOME OF THESE CAME FROM FROM YEAR AND PRIOR YEARS AS WELL AS FROM OUR PARENTS AND OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS BUT REALLY TRIED TO BUILD CALENDARS THAT HAVE BALANCE SEMESTERS WAS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE. AND THE OTHER WAS LOOKING AT THE TEACHER CONTRACT. SO TYPICALLY OUR TEACHERS HAVE BEEN ON A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE DAY CONTRACT AND WHEN WE LOOK AT OTHER DISTRICTS WE FOUND

[02:50:04]

[02:55:02]

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE STAY COMPETITIVE WITH OUR SURROUNDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND I DON'T KNOW DR. BROCKMAN IF YOU HAVE YOU WANT TO ADD A COUPLE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE THROUGH OUR THE H.R. DATABASES THROUGH TAZ B I WAS ABLE TO SEARCH FOR A NUMBER OF WORK DAYS FOR ANY JOB THAT WE HAVE IN COMPARISON WITH ANYBODY ELSE IN THE STATE. AND WHEN I RAN THAT COMPARISON OF COURSE IT'S FOR LAST YEAR THERE WERE ONLY TWO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAD TEACHER WORK SCHEDULE MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN DAYS. ONE OF THEM WAS A SPRING BRANCH AT 188 AND THE OTHER IS CASTLEBERRY AT ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE. SO WE'RE ONE OF THREE IN THE STATE THAT ARE RUNNING OVER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN DAYS WORK SCHEDULE FOR TEACHERS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND A WAY TO BE MORE ALIGNED WITH THE DISTRICTS AROUND US COMP. IS MORE ESPECIALLY TO OUR YOUNGER GROWING NUMBERS OF STATE OF TEACHERS OUR YOUNGER TEACHERS. COMPENSATION IS MORE THAN JUST HOW MUCH IS IN THEIR PAYCHECK. IT IS TIME AND TWO DAYS. SPEAKS VOLUMES. A QUICK QUESTION IN REGARDS TO TIME HOW WILL THAT FIVE MINUTES EXTRA DAY IMPACT THE CLASSROOM FOR THE STUDENTS. IT WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. AND SO THAT KIND OF LEADS US INTO THE NEXT SLIDE SO ELEMENTARY WE'RE PROPOSING THAT ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD START FIVE MINUTES EARLIER AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON TRANSPORTATION OR FOOD SERVICES AS FAR AS THE TEACHER THEIR WORK DAY. AND TEACHERS USUALLY COME IN 15 20 MINUTES EARLIER THAN THE SCHOOL START TIME AND THEN THEY WORK AN ADDITIONAL 30 TO 45 MINUTES AT THE END OF. SO THERE WOULD BE A ZERO IMPACT ON THE TEACHERS WORK DAILY. IT WOULD BE AN INCREASE JUST TO INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES FOR STUDENTS ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. BUT I DO THINK A COMPANION PIECE TO THIS IS WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO INCORPORATE INTO THE CALENDARS EXTENDED PLANNING TIME AND MORE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TIME. WE WE ARE STRIVING TO LEAVE THAT TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM MORE AND PULL THEM LESS WHICH ALSO SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR THE INSTRUCTION IN THE CLASSROOM ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. RIGHT NOW EXTENDED PLANNING HAS A BUDGET OF CLOSE TO FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BUT IT'S ABOUT TWO DAYS PER CORE AREA TEACHER ANNUALLY. AND WHEN YOU CAN INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR INSTEAD OF PULLING TEACHERS OUT THAT'S TWO MORE DAYS THAT THAT STUDENT HAS WITH THEIR CERTIFIED TEACHER. AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING AT INCORPORATING MORE OF THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NEEDS DURING THOSE DAYS RATHER THAN CONTINUING TO PULL TEACHERS SO MUCH FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SESSIONS. PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT ANY CALENDAR WE DEVELOP IS GOING TO ELIMINATE THAT ALTOGETHER. BUT IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS IS IN ALL OF THIS HOW CAN WE KEEP THAT HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHER IN FRONT OF THEIR STUDENTS FOR EVEN MORE THAN THE FIVE EXTRA MINUTES A DAY. BUT THANK YOU. SO IF WE LOOK AT THE COMPENSATION SO CURRENTLY A TEACHER EARNING THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE EARNING FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE DAYS AND THE DAILY WRITES ABOUT TWO HUNDRED NINETY ONE DOLLARS PER DAY. SO IF WE WERE TO REDUCE DOWN TO A

[03:00:04]

[03:05:03]

[03:10:05]

CERTAINLY AS A BOARD WE ADVOCATED TO OUR LEGISLATIVE CONTINGENT THAT WE WANTED FLEXIBILITY AND START DATE SO WE COULD ACTUALLY BALANCE THE SEMESTER FOR ACADEMIC REASONS. AND SO I'M I'M VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE HAVE TWO CALENDARS THAT BRING THEM WITHIN THREE DAYS AND THEN PARTIALLY THAT OVERAGE IN THE SECOND SEMESTER IS COMPENSATED FOR BY THE EXTRA TESTING. YEAH. TAMMY TO ECHO THAT YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THESE CALENDARS I THINK I THOUGHT B AND C I LIKED A LOT OF THEM. BUT THEN AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AND COMBINING COMPARING THINGS AND CHECKING WHICH OF THE CALENDARS I LIKED THE WAY THAT ISSUES WERE HANDLED ACTUALLY A WAS THE ONE I HAD MOST CHECKED FOR ME. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BALANCE CAP THE BALANCE CALENDAR YEAR IT'S NOT NECESSARILY BALANCE NUMBERS BUT THERESA THE TESTING THE HEAVY TESTING IN THE SPRING ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN A CAMPUS. AND SO EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT NINE THERE'S MORE INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS IN AN A NINETY ONE TO EIGHTY FOUR. AS A PRACTICAL MATTER THERE'S NOT 91 DAYS NOT A LOT OF INSTRUCTION ON THOSE STUFF. YOU'RE NOT ESPECIALLY IN YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND YOU'RE IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOLS YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN HAVING THOSE TESTS AND KIDS ARE SITTING STILL. SO AND THAT'S ALL IN APRIL AND MAY THE BULK. YES. SO I THINK THAT MAYBE MARCH WHERE WE'RE AT THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO THINK IN TERMS OF BALLOTS AS TO WHAT REALLY BALANCES ARE PRACTICAL AND STRUCTURAL DAYS INSTEAD OF JUST ACTUAL NUMBER. DO WE HAVE TESTING DAYS KIND OF NOTED AND LAYERED INTO THIS OR IT WOULD BE REALLY HARD TO INDICATE BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT EVERY GRADE BY GRADE LEVEL THAT'S ATTACHED OR JUST A COPY OF WHAT CAME FROM THE STATE THOUGH THE TESTING WINDOW FOR STATE TESTING BEGINS IN MARCH. SO WE START WITH TELEPATHS AND THERE'S A WINDOW THEN STAR ALL THERE'S A WINDOW AND IT JUST CONTINUES ALL THE WAY AND THE LAST DAY OF ANY STAR EOC RETESTING IS MAY 21ST. SO WE ARE TESTING SOME STUDENT GROUP AND SOME VARIETY SOME BETWEEN MARCH AND AND MAY. I BET YOU LITTLE STAR TESTING LIKE WHAT WE THINK OF AS THE BIG RIGHT START TESTING STARTS APRIL 6TH. WHAT WOULD BE IRONIC IS IS IF WE WERE LOOKING AT B AND C AND SEEING THAT THEIR THREE DAY DIFFERENCE IS IN PRACTICALITY YOU PROBABLY HAVE LESS PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS IN THE SPRING THAN YOU DO IN THE FALL WHICH NONE OF US I THINK WOULD EVER HAVE ANTICIPATED. AND TO JERI'S POINT CALENDAR AGE DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE TWO DAY WEEKS WHICH ARE KIND OF THE END UP BEING SORT OF WASTED. SIMULATION I WOULD PUT FORTH IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT COURSES LIKE GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS WHERE KIDS CAN THEY'RE JUST ONE SEMESTER COURSE AND THEY CAN TAKE THEM IN EITHER SEMESTER. HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THE INSTRUCTION BECAUSE THOSE KIDS ARE NOT TAKING STAR SO THAT THAT DOESN'T FACTOR IN OR ARE THEY TAKING PART OF WHAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. I MEAN THEY WOULD HAVE TO ABSOLUTELY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO SOME DEGREE OF HOW TO COMBINE OR CONDENSE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TERMS SO YOU'D MENTIONED THAT THE CABINET SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS AND A LOT OF FEEDBACK. WAS THERE CONSENSUS BETWEEN THESE THREE FROM THE CABINET. WE ACTUALLY HAD ANOTHER CALENDAR AND IT HAD WE'VE GOT YOUR CALENDAR. WE HAVE WE HAVE CALENDARS A THREE L I THINK AT THIS POINT. AND. SO THERE WERE I MEAN I'LL BE ON. YOU ASKED THE QUESTION. AND SO THERE WERE OTHER CALENDARS THAT WE PROBABLY IF YOU KNOW THAT WE PREFERRED JUST AS FAR AS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING. AND THOSE CALENDARS DO NOT PROVIDE AS GREAT OF A BALANCE AS FAR AS DAYS. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE CONTINUED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TO TRY TO WHITTLE. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO. SO I WILL SAY THAT THESE THREE CALENDARS I LIKE THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS AWAY THERE.

WE'VE KIND OF SPACE THEM OUT. I THINK THAT'S NICE ON ALL THREE CALENDARS. SO. SO YOU MADE A POINT ABOUT THE SPRING BREAK AND BE IN LINE WITH COLLIN COLLEGE. SO WE'RE HOPING FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE'LL FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. WHERE ELSE IN THE CALENDAR DID WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME CONSIDERATIONS TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE LINED UP WITH AND CALLING COLLEGE OR A SPRING BREAK THE BIGGER THE BIGGEST PIECE THAT WAS THE BIGGEST AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE SO WE HAVE COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS THAT

[03:15:02]

THAT'S A YEAH. THEY WE'RE NOT KNOW THAT'S HAPPENED HERE BEFORE TO GIVE ME ANY IDEAS. THAT IS ALL THEY DO. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A SURVEY AND NOT A SYSTEM YOU KNOW JUST E-MAIL YOUR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT ANYTHING I MISSED. NO I'M

[03:20:06]

OK. THANK YOU. THIS UNLESS THERE IS MORE DISCUSSION AMONG OUR BOARD THIS WILL PROBABLY JUST BE VERY BRIEF. THIS IS SORT OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO DROP THE CHECKERED FLAG TO SAY WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING FOR THE 20 21 LEGISLATIVE COUNTDOWN. I DID WANT TO THANK PRESIDENT TAMMY RICHARDS TRUSTEES ANGELA AND DAVID FOR BEING THERE FOR OUR BOARD SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING. I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING OF YOUR TIME ON YOUR CALENDARS TO THAT COMMON SORT OF OPEN THIS DIALOGUE. I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MOST OF OUR CONVERSATION INITIATED WHICH WAS ON WEDNESDAY LAST WEEK NOVEMBER THE 13TH WAS REALLY REFLECTING ON THE 86 SESSION THAT WAS JUST PRIOR AND DEVELOPING THE IDEA OF SETTING A STRATEGY OF HOW WE MIGHT APPROACH THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS WERE LEADING UP TO THE 20 21 SESSION OF COURSE. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDEAS SOME THINGS THAT WE FEEL LIKE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. SOME THINGS THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO TOOL BACK AND DECIDED IT WAS TIME WELL SPENT AND THUSLY. SO WE BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT DEVELOPING A TIMELINE OF ACTIVITY AND SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION POINTS THAT I THINK WE'RE VERY RELEVANT. WE'RE STILL OBVIOUSLY STEEPED IN THE IMPACT OF THE NEW LEGISLATION DISTILLING AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AND CONTINUE TO LEARN ABOUT HOSPITAL THREE LAW SCHOOL FINANCE. WHERE ARE WE. WE KNOW WHERE WE AREN'T BUT WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE FULLY ACCOUNTABILITY AGAIN. A LOT OF DISCUSSION THERE AND AGAIN WE COME BACK ALWAYS TO STRATEGY. AND SO THE IDEA IS AN EARLY START WITH THIS OPENING DIALOGUE WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR SOME KIND OF OUTCOME THAT WE ALL AGREE WOULD BE PRIORITIES. AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT BASED ON THE CONVERSATION WE HAD WE PUT TOGETHER A SCANT TIMELINE RIGHT NOW THAT I THINK MIGHT BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CALENDARS AS TRUSTEES AND FOR CABINET MEMBERS. NOVEMBER 2019 THE LEGISLATIVE SUBCOMMITTEE BEGAN THE DIALOGUE WITH YOU. BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT THIS MEETING AND ALSO PRIOR TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING JANUARY 2020 OUR SUBCOMMITTEE PLANS TO RECONVENE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD ON THE TABLE FOR OUR DISCUSSION POINTS AT THOSE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS PLEASE TRUSTEES IF YOU WOULD SHARE THAT WITH ME AND I'LL COMPILE THAT AND HAVE THAT READY FOR DISCUSSION POINTS FOR OUR SUBCOMMITTEE. AND IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF 2020 THE IDEA OF HAVING A PRECESSION PLANNING EVENT THAT WOULD LIKELY INCLUDE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THIS CURRENT GROUP AND MAYBE SOME INVITATIONS TO COME IN JANUARY 2021 THAT'S WHEN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ACTUALLY BEGINS AND WE KNOW THAT. AND SO RIGHT NOW THE ONE OF THE TARGETS THAT I WOULD ASK FOR ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE REMEMBER THE DATE HAS NOT OFFICIALLY BEEN SET. I DON'T THINK BUT WE ARE BEGINNING TO PLAN FOR THE PLAN ON LEGISLATIVE DAYS THE CALENDARS ARE THERE. WE HAVE TO BOOK THE ROOMS AND WHEN I SAY WE ACTUALLY THAT'S LED PRIMARILY BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUT THEY'RE SHOPPING DAYS NOW TO GET THOSE BLOCKS OF ROOMS DONE. AND THE MEETING SPACE AND GET THE CALENDAR ON THE ELECTED OFFICIALS CALENDARS AND WITH THEIR STAFF MEMBERS AND SO ON AND GET THAT SET UP. SO THESE ARE THE PRIMARY DATES I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER NOW AND OTHERWISE WE'LL BE COMING BACK TOGETHER IN JANUARY AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR INPUT IF YOU HAVE DISCUSSION POINTS. CARLA ONE MORE JUST ONE ADDITION TO THE TIMELINE. THE IDEA IS IF THE TRUSTEES HAVE THINGS THAT ARE PRIORITIES THAT THEY'D LIKE FOOD SUBCOMMITTEE TO CONSIDER TO GET THAT TO CARLA IN JANUARY BECAUSE THE SUBCOMMITTEE IS GOING TO RECONVENE AND THEN THE IDEA IS TO BRING A AN INITIAL THOUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD BY MARCH NEXT MARCH SO THAT WE CAN FINALIZE THE INITIAL AGENDA PRIORITIES IN APRIL. AND THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO DO THAT THAT EARLY IS THAT WE HAVE HAD FEEDBACK FROM OUR REPRESENTATIVES SAYING IF YOU WANT A BILL DONE THAT IT HAS A LEGIT CHANCE OF GETTING PASSED. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WORK HAS TO START IN THE SUMMER. THEY WANT SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE.

THANK YOU DAVID. I HAVE A QUESTION ARE WE GOING TO DO. ARE WE PLANNING ANY EVENTS WITH OUR DELEGATION OR IS THAT KIND OF THAT'S WHAT RIGHT NOW WE WERE CONSIDERING

[03:25:07]

MAYBE NOT THAT THAT ARE NOT ON THE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE WE WANT TO BE INVOLVED AND INCLUDED IN WHATEVER WAYS WE CAN BE. BECAUSE THE SEVEN OF US TOGETHER CAN REALLY MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE I THINK. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT TMI. SOME OF MY OPINIONS I LIKE WE WE ARE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. I WOULD IT FOR USE SOME FOR CONFORMITY OF LANGUAGE AND INSTEAD OF USING WE ARE AGAINST SOMETHING WE ARE AGAINST SOMETHING. WE ARE FORMULATING THE WAY LIKE WE ARE FOR SOMETHING WE SUPPORT SOMETHING SO THAT WE AND I THINK YOU SAID JUST MORE UNIFIED MESSAGE CAN COME OUT. YOU HAVE MADE A NOTE. THANK YOU. AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT THAT EVERY TWO YEARS LEGISLATION IS DECIDED ON OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS BOARD TO CONTINUE AND ADVOCACY EVERY YEAR YEAR ROUND AND TO CONTINUE THESE CONVERSATIONS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR DISTRICT AND OUR STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF WHO'S ELECTED IN THOSE POSITIONS. SO I HOPE THAT IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS THAT SOME OF THESE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE MAYBE ARE DISCUSSED A LITTLE MORE PUBLICLY WITHIN OUR OWN WORK SESSIONS ARE OPEN SESSION. SO WE AS A BOARD CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE WE STAND BECAUSE WE'VE WON A LOT OF US AS INDIVIDUALS GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND WE SPEAK OFTENTIMES WE'RE SPEAKING AS INDIVIDUALS AND WHAT WE THINK. BUT THAT CAN BE INTERPRETED AS THE STANCE OR THE OFFICIAL STANCE OF THE BOARD. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS THE OFFICIAL STANCE FOR THE BOARD SO THEY KNOW IF THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT THEY'RE SPEAKING AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND DON'T REPRESENT THE BOARD OR IF THEY'RE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND THE POLICY THAT WE ALL AGREE TO THAT THAT'S THE IDEA BEHIND THAT THE INITIAL COALESCING OF IDEAS WITH THROUGH CARLA AND THEN AN INITIAL VETTING OF THOSE THROUGH THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND THEN BRINGING EVERYTHING TO A WORK SESSION IN MARCH SO THAT THE BOARD AS A WHOLE AS A BODY CORPORATE CAN THEN DISCUSS ITEMS AND IF YOU DON'T SEE SOMETHING THAT'S YOUR PRIORITY THAT'S ON WHAT WE BRING FORWARD CERTAINLY BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THE THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA IS NOT SET IN STONE ONCE WE VOTE ON IT AND WHENEVER WE ADOPTED IT WILL LEAVE TRADITIONALLY HAVE HAVE AMENDED THE ITEMS AS NECESSARY AS ISSUES COME UP AND OF COURSE THERE WILL BE ISSUES WHERE THAT WE DON'T EVEN ANTICIPATE THAT WE NEED TO TO CREATE AN ADVOCACY ADVOCATE'S POSITION ON. BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT IT'S THIS IT'S GONNA BE A BODY CORPORATE THAT COMES UP WITH THE PRIORITIES THAT THOSE IN A WORK SESSION WHERE WE ALL GET A CHANCE TO DISCUSS THEM AND THEN ADOPT THEM AND THEN AMENDS THEM AS NECESSARY. I MADE A NOTE OF E Y A OF EVERY YEAR ADVOCACY. SO THANKS FOR THAT.

AND ALSO CERTAINLY WITH TRUSTEES STRONGLY SAYING THAT SOMETIMES THINGS JUST SORT OF DEVELOP IN THAT TIME. SO THERE IS A BIT OF A SWARM FROM TIME TO TIME AND SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE TRUSTEES BEING INVESTED IN IN THAT CONVERSATION AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE ADAPTABLE TO THE CHANGING LEGISLATIVE ENVIRONMENT TO YOUR POINT VERY AGILE. THANK YOU THANKS CARLA. I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE NOTE TO THROUGH THE TEXAS SCHOOL ALLIANCE GROUP WHICH IS REALLY ABOUT 40 OF THE LARGEST DISTRICTS IN THE STATE WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK AND WE SPENT THE ENTIRE MEETING COALESCING IDEAS AROUND WHERE IT IS. WHERE DOES THAT GROUP FEEL LIKE THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES LIKE LOSING MY VOICE. I FEEL LIKE JANNA. BUT FINDING OUT WHERE THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES IN THE ROOM WERE AND SO IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHERE OTHER DISTRICTS WERE FROM ACROSS THE STATE AND KIND OF WHAT THE THINKING IS IN THE ROOM. AND SO ALSO WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE KIND OF SOME OF THAT TO THE TO THE GROUP AS WELL. MOVING FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF SEE YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT BEYOND OURSELVES AS WELL TO SEE WHAT WHAT WHAT IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE AROUND THE STATE. SO WE'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED. SOME VERY BENEFICIAL DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD IS THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S THE STRATEGY FOR THIS YEAR AND HOW BIG HOW BOLD. AND

[03:30:05]

I CAN DO IT IN 30 SECONDS. OK. SO I'LL START WITH THE HEAD START. PARENT LIAISON POLICY COUNCIL THAT'S A REQUIRED GROUP BY THE HEAD START RULES. AND SO I'VE BEEN PART OF THAT FOR PROBABLY I DON'T KNOW THREE OR FOUR YEARS AND DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP AND THE PARENTS COME AND GO AND YOU SEE NEW PARENTS BUT IT'S A REALLY NEAT EXPERIENCE. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE A PARENT REP FROM EACH CLASS. AND DID I SAY SIRI. I SAID SERIOUSLY. AND I INVOKED. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. THAT IS X. I KNOW.

I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE. THEY HAVE A NEW PRINCIPAL THIS YEAR I GUESS WE ALL KNOW DENISE LOWE MILLER AND SHE'S. I THINK SHE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. SHE'S DRINKING FROM THE FIRE HOSE BECAUSE THEY'RE FIVE YEAR BASELINE GRANT APPLICATION IS COMING FORWARD AND THAT IS A HUGE EFFORT. IT'S IT'S GOVERNMENT PAPERWORK AT ITS FINEST.

AND SO IT WILL BE COMING TO US FOR APPROVAL. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IS IT JANUARY DECEMBER. OK I KNEW IT WAS COMING AND I KNOW THAT SHE'S WORKING HARD ON IT.

SO IT FIRST HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE POLICY COUNCIL OR MAYBE THERE'S NO SEQUENCING. BUT THE POLICY COUNCIL HAS TO APPROVE IT AS WELL AS WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT. AND I HAVE. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED I CAN THROUGH SHARON SEND YOU THE EXCERPT THAT SHE PUT TOGETHER THAT JUST KIND OF HITS THE HIGH POINTS. ONE OTHER THING I THOUGHT I'D BRING FORWARD IS THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT WE HAVE SEEN HAPPEN WITH THE ENROLLMENT AT HEAD START. IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR THE HEAD START PROGRAM BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE FULL DAY PRE-K OFFERED. SO THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO JUST KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON THERE BECAUSE BY LAW HEAD START REQUIRES A WAITING LIST AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT IF WE'VE GOT KIDDOS MOVE INTO THE PRE-K PROGRAM WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING HEAD START ENROLLMENT WORK. AND I'M SURE KATRINA YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT. OK I'LL MOVE ON TO PTA. I ATTEND ALL THE COUNCIL BOARD MEETINGS AND THE DELEGATE MEETINGS AND I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THE PLANO PTA IS A ROCKING PTA. THEY ARE GETTING THINGS DONE. I'VE GOT THE NUMBER OF THE MEMBERS AND I FORGOT TO WRITE IT DOWN BUT IT'S 20000 THOUSAND SOME ODD CORRECT MEMBERS. SHE TOLD US TODAY AND THAT MEANS THAT 30 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE RIGHT REPRESENTED BY PTA MEMBERS. SO IT'S A IT'S A GREAT AMOUNT AND PUT ON YOUR CALENDAR PTA LIFE MEMBER BANQUET IS MARCH 16TH 2020. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE REALLY WORKING ON IS TRYING TO GET THE CENSUS. JUST GET THE AWARENESS OF COMPLETING THE CENSUS AND PARTICIPATING IN THE CENSUS AND MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS COUNTED AND WE ALL KNOW HERE IN PLANO ISD THAT IMPACTS OUR FEDERAL FUNDING. SO AS LONG AS WE HAVE AN ACCURATE COUNT IN OUR COMMUNITY PTA IS HELPING US PUSH THAT OUT AND TODAY THEY DID A SPOT A SPOTLIGHT ON BARKSDALE ELEMENTARY AS A NATIONAL SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE. THERE ARE 13 SCHOOLS THAT HAVE EARNED THAT DISTINCTION IN PLANO AND THAT'S A BIG NUMBER ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY CAME OUT OF THE BARKSDALE EXPERIENCE IS THAT THEY FOCUSED ON WELCOME ALL FAMILIES AND THEY'RE INTENTIONALLY REACHING OUT TO THEIR POPULATION WHICH HAS RESULTED IN AN INCREASED NUMBER OF PARENTS

[03:35:07]

OK. I'M ON THEIR EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE COMMITTEE. THEY MEET MONTHLY. IT'S A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE RICHARDSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ITS PURPOSE IS TO FACILITATE COLLABORATION BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL BRING QUALITY WORKFORCE IN RICHARDSON. AND YOU KNOW THAT BLEEDS INTO OUR AREA. WE SHARE POPULATION AND PTSD. THEY ARE EXECUTING A THING CALLED I DREAM DAY. AND IT HAS. THEY PARTNER WITH RICHLAND COLLEGE AND THEY HAVE PANELS IN EIGHT INDUSTRY GROUPS THAT COME AND THEY BRING PROFESSIONALS FROM ALL THESE INDUSTRY GROUPS. AND IT'S FOR ALL SEVENTH GRADERS AND RICHARDSON I ESTEEM.

SO IT'S KIND OF A NEAT LITTLE PROGRAM THAT THEY DO AND THE STUDENTS GET TO PARTICIPATE AND IN HALF DAY BLOCKS AND GO AND VISIT AN INDUSTRY GROUP THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN HOPEFULLY. AND THEY ALSO HAVE AN EDUCATION HERO AWARD. AND THIS IS AN AWARD THAT PTSD EDUCATORS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO POPPY AND PARTICIPATE IN. SO IT'S AN AWARD THAT IS GIVEN TO SOMEONE WHO GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND OF THEIR JOB RESPONSIBILITY WHATEVER THAT IS. AND SO I ENCOURAGE YOU IF IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE EDUCATION HERO AWARD THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PARTICIPATE IN. AND ONE LAST QUICK THING. JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT HAS A SCHOLARSHIP THAT'S AVAILABLE THAT NOBODY IN RISD OR PISD HAS APPLIED FOR. SO SENIORS THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT ARE ELIGIBLE TO PROVIDE AN ESSAY AND THEY CAN CONTACT THAT JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF DALLAS. THAT'S AT. THANK YOU. NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM BOARD MEMBER DR. HEATHER WONG REGARDING REAL TRUE GROUPS AND THE PLANO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WELL I WILL KEEP IT SHORT TO REDEEM MYSELF. SO FOR THE PLANO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I THINK WE ARE VERY WELL REPRESENTED THERE WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. I SAW OUR BOARD MEMBERS AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT ALL THE TIME OVER THERE. I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THAT. AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND A NICHE AND I THINK I KIND OF FOUND IT IT'S THE BUSINESS INTERCHANGE ON FRIDAY MORNING AT 730. THERE WAS A GREAT EVENT AND BECAUSE I SAW CHARTER SCHOOLS PRIVATE SCHOOLS ALL HAVE REPRESENTATIVES THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL. SO I FEEL LIKE WHEN I WAS THERE PEOPLE PEOPLE TOLD ME SO WHEN YOU SHOW UP. WE ALL NOTICE WE DON'T.

WE KNOW THIS TOO. SO I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW I TOLD THEM YOU DON'T TREAT US LIKE DIGNITARIES AND WE'RE JUST THE ELECTED OFFICIALS TRYING TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. AND I OFFERED MYSELF TO BE THE SOURCE OF OUR RESOURCES AND A BREACH OF THE SUB TO THE DISTRICT AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE DOWN TO EARTH BUSINESS OWNERS. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I PLAN TO GO. IF I CAN. EVERY FRIDAY MORNING 730 AND I STILL ENJOY PROBABLY A POLICY MEETING BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THE BUSINESS INTERCHANGE. SO ABOUT THE REALTORS GROUP MEETING AND PART OF THEIR OUTREACH COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I NOTICED CHANGES IN THE RETAIL COMMUNITY IN THE PAST. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MINORITY REALTORS NOW WE DO HAVE OUTREACH COMMUNITY. AND WE HAD A EXPO THERE WERE LIKE 20 LANGUAGES SPOKEN AMONG THE RURAL COMMUNITIES. SO WE ARE DOING A PROJECT NOW. IT'S A IT'S A SECRET. IT'S ABOUT CENSUS. AND ONCE I GET THE PROJECT DONE. I WILL SHARE THE LINK WITH YOU. BASICALLY THE SAME MISSION AS YOU MENTIONED AT THE PTA. WE WANT TO ALL THE REALTORS GET INVOLVED GETTING EVERYBODY COUNTED. AND THE MESSAGE IS THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL AND NOBODY CAN USE THAT INFORMATION AGAINST YOU. SO WE WANT TO SEE THAT. TELL EVERYBODY IN 20 LANGUAGES. SO ONCE THAT PROJECT STARTED LIKE I SAID I WILL LET EVERYBODY KNOW AND SHARE IT. THAT'S LESS THAN TWO MINUTES RIGHT. THANK YOU. THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM DEALS WITH COMING WORK

[7. UPCOMING WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS]

[03:40:02]

WHAT WE SAY IS INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES OUTSIDE THESE MEETINGS IS OFTEN INTERPRETED AS THE POLICY ACCEPTED BY THE ENTIRE BOARD. SO IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY FOLLOW THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE OPEN MEAN EXACT HAND TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS BOARD STANCE ON THE STAR TEST. I'D LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS TOPIC AT A FUTURE WORK SESSION. I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING PERSPECTIVE FROM MY FELLOW TRUSTEES. SUPERINTENDENT BONSER WHOSE DISTRICT STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS AND ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT MAY DECIDE PARTICIPATE IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR OUR SESSION FOR THAT FUTURE WORK TOPIC. I THINK THAT COULD FIT IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED FOR OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY HAD ACCOUNTABILITY AS ONE OF THE TOPICS AND I THINK THAT THE THINKING IN THE ORIGINAL SUBCOMMITTEE WAS ARE THERE STILL THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO ADVOCATE FOR. HOW DO WE FEEL LIVING WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO REACH OUT PARTICULARLY TO DASH'S EXPERTISE IN THAT REGARD. BOTH STAR MAP I MEAN HE'S CERTAINLY OUR EXPERT ON ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TESTING TOOLS AND SO I THINK WE COULD WEAVE THAT INTO SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF CONVERSATION AS WELL. I THINK IT'S BEEN IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE RIGHT.
