>> YES. >> WE WILL MOVE TO B. MS. WHITFIELD, YOUR QUESTION ON

B? >> CLARIFICATION OVER -- THE ITEMS I REQUESTED TO PULL, I AM

JUST ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION OF THOSE ITEMS. >> WHEN YOU SAY CLARIFICATION

CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC? >> PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY FOR THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE VOTING ON.

>> IS THERE -- >> I THINK THERE IS -- [INAUDIBLE].

I APOLOGIZE. THEY WERE UP LOADING AN EXCEL SHEET.

I NOTICED IT UP LOADS AS A PDF. YOU SHOULD HAVE A HARD COPY AT YOUR DESK AT THIS POINT.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE A COPY? I WILL HAVE MS. HARRISON ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR SHARE

INFORMATION WITH YOU, HOWEVER YOU WOULD LIKE. >> AND FOLLOWING THIS MEETING, MS. HAIRSTON WILL MAKE SURE THIS PRESENTATION IS UP LOADED ON THERE APPROPRIATELY.

NOT KNOWING THE EXCEL SHEET WOULD ONLY UP LOAD AS PDF. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE JONES FOR

CATCHING THAT. >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND BOARD TRUSTEES.

IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THIS AFTERNOON THAT THE ENTIRE THING DID NOT UP LOAD TO THE BOARD BOOK. THE SYSTEM GOES FROM EXCEL -- [INAUDIBLE] I DID PRINTOUT THE INFORMATION FOR YOU HERE TONIGHT. THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, JUST APPROVE FOR THE FOLLOWING VENDORS. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR CATERING AND FOOD. THE PROPOSAL WAS SENT OUT. IT WAS SENT OUT TO 75 VENDORS.

THESE ARE THE VENDORS THAT APPLIED WITH OUR DISTRICT WHICH IS CATERING FOOD TRUCKS AND FOOD-RELATED SERVICES. [INAUDIBLE]. SECOND IS ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. AS WELL THIS WILL BE 108 VENDORS AND THESE ARE THE VENDORS THAT SENT A REQUEST IN AND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR T-SHIRTS AND STAFF.

SECOND IS RFP AND THE REQUEST WAS SENT OUT TO THE SYSTEM. IT WAS SENT OUT TO 85 VENDORS AND THEY ARE THE VENDORS THEY REQUEST. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF IN THE DISTRICT. AND INFORMATION WAS SENT OUT

[01:05:11]

[INAUDIBLE] WHICH IS A LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND SENT OUT ON AUGUST 12TH AND 22ND AND AUGUST 30TH TO SEPTEMBER 6TH. IT LETS THE COMMUNITY KNOW THE

RFP IS OUT. >> MS. MORRIS -- >> [INAUDIBLE].

>> TO THE BOARD LIKE THIS. THIS COULD END UP IN A LEGAL ISSUE.

YOU ARE ACTUALLY GIVING US THE RFP. I WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW WHO REQUESTED THIS TO BE LIKE THIS. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SEALED AND PRIVATE. THIS COULD MESS UP SOMEBODY'S CONTRACT.

>> IT IS STILL SEALED, BUT I HAVE TO GET A BOARD APPROVAL. THIS IS THE ONLY INFORMATION

YOU CAN SEE. >> RIGHT. BUT THE ONLY WAY YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THEY WERE GIVEN IS THAT ENVELOPE HAD TO BE OPENED. UNLESS IT WAS AN OPEN BIDDING.

>> IT WAS AN OPEN BIDDING. >> MAY I ASK WHO REQUESTED THIS, MADAM PRESIDENT?

>> THIS IS ON CONSENT AGENDA. >> NO. WHO REQUESTED BY US TO GET THIS INFORMATION? THIS HAS NEVER BEEN PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.

>> I WOULDN'T SAY ANYBODY ASKED FOR IT. ADMINISTRATION -- [INAUDIBLE].

AND IT WOULDN'T UP LOAD. >> IS THIS WHAT WE ARE GETTING ON EVERY BIDDING NOW?

>> SO THIS IS A YEARLY EVENT FOR US. WE NEED BOARD APPROVAL FOR THESE TO MOVE FORWARD. I CAN SAY THAT WE HAVEN'T SENT OUT MUCH BIDS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE ACTUALLY DONE THE REQUEST FOR THESE PROPOSALS. WHAT WE WERE SEEING AND HAVING DONE, THERE WERE A LOT OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACTS GOING OUT AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS A GOOD USE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO BE PIECEMEALING IN THAT MANNER. WE ALSO WOULD BE IN THE SCENARIO OF GOING OVER THE $50,000. SO FOR ME IT IS BEST TO HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE THAT WE CAN

UTILIZE WITH THE BOARD. >> SO NONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN SELECTED?

>> NO. >> IT WAS AN OPEN BID. AND THOSE ARE THE BIDDERS.

>> ARE WE GOING TO ANNOUNCE WHO WON THE BID? >> SO THERE IS AN OPEN BID SO

WE CAN GET MORE VENDORS. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> THE REQUEST IS TO APPROVE OUR VENDORS THAT WAY EACH CAMPUS CAN HAVE A VARIETY OF

BUSINESSES TO KHAOTS -- TO CHOOSE FROM. >> THANK YOU.

[9.C. Consider the approval of Special Education 2023-24 Contracted Vendor Services Providers (G1,G2)- Crystal Cromer, Presenter]

>> WE WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO -- THAT WAS B. WE WILL MOVE TO C.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT WE WILL HAVE MS. CROMER COME FORWARD. SAME SORT OF SCENARIO HERE.

THESE ARE SERVICES OF DIFFERENT SEGMENTS WE NEEDED IN SPECIAL ED SERVICES.

AS YOU NOTE IN THE PAST WE HAD ONE OR TWO HUGE CONTRACTS. NOT BELIEVING IN MONOPOLIES

SPREAD THE WEALTH A LITTLE BIT. MS. CROMER. >> GOOD EVENING BOARD PRESIDENT , TRUSTIES AND SUPERINTENDENT. TODAY I AM REQUESTING FOR APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. SO THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, ALL OF THE VENDORS LISTED DID SUBMIT THE RFP AND THERE ARE 20 VENDORS. WE ARE REQUESTING BOARD APPROVAL TO USE THESE VENDORS AND NOT TO GO OVER $50,000 ON ANY ONE VENDOR. FOR CONTRACTED SERVICES.

>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING NONE WE WILL MOVE ON TO

The School Action Fund (SAF) grant purpose and the Accelerated Campus Excellence (ACE) Restart at GWC. 3. The alignment between ESF/TIP and the ACE Restart at GWC.]

D. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

I WILL CALL FORWARD MS. BELL AND MS. REDDICK. I AM NOT SURE WHO IS HERE AND WHO WILL PRESENT. IF THE BOARD WILL RECALL, THIS INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED IN DETAIL AT OUR WORK SESSION LAST WEEK. THEY ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THE PRESENTATION IS THERE IN YOUR ONLINE ON BOARD BOOK.

MS. BELL AND MS. REDDICK ARE HERE. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM BOARD

[01:10:03]

PRESIDENT AND DISTINGUISHED BOARD MEMBERS AND DR. PERRERA. WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR 2023- 2024 SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT UPDATE FOR GWC, 6TH GRADE

STEM LEARNING CENTER. >> THE REQUEST WAS MADE BY MYSELF TO BE PULLED AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE DURING THE BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK, IT WAE AVAILABLE VISUALLY FOR THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE REQUESTED TO ATTEND ONLINE, BUT NOT IN THE SETTING.

THE ONLY THING I AM REQUESTING AT THIS TIME IS JUST PRETTY MUCH A RECAP FOR WHAT IS TAKING PLACE FOR GWC AS IT RELATES TO THE STUDENTS AND HOW WE ARE MOVING FORWARD SO WE CAN BE

TRANSPARENT. >> SO I WILL START OFF AND THEN I WILL HAND THE BATON TO MS. RE DDICK. BASICALLY WE HAVE -- MADAM BOARD PRESIDENT? YOU INSTRUCT -- CAN YOU INSTRUCT IT TO BE VERY BRIEF. THIS WAS IN A LONG WORK SESSION THAT WAS MEANT FOR THE BOARD. THIS WAS NOT A PRESENTATION FOR THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY TO BE MORE EFFICIENT

IN TIME MANAGEMENT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT BEFORE DR. P ERRERA SPEAKS, SPECIFICALLY I PULLED THIS FOR -- COUNTER TO WHAT TRUSTY WHITFIELD SAID.

AS A PARENT, AND I HAVE A STUDENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER AND I AM PERMANENTLY IMPACTED -- PERSONALLY IMPACTED BY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. FIRST OF ALL, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER RECORDING EACH MEETING BE IT A WORKSHOP, ALL MEETING OR REGULAR MEETING.

I DID HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW UP ON THE 21ST. >> PLEASE STICK TO THE ITEM ON HAND. YOU ARE GOING ON TALKING ABOUT RECORDING WORK SESSIONS.

>> THAT'S PART OF IT. IF THIS WERE RECORDED, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PULLED THIS ITEM. IF IT WERE RECORDED I WROTE HAVE -- I WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW IT. I ALSO THINK IT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE THAT IT IS RECORDED SO OTHER STAKEHOLDERS GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO AT THEIR LEISURE GO BACK AND LOOK AT THIS.

I WASN'T GOING TO ASK FOR 20 MINUTES. THREE OR FOUR MINUTES IS ALL I NEED. I DO WANT TO STRESS THE POINT THAT I BELIEVE WE SHOULD

SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECORDING EACH OF THESE MEETINGS. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. WE HAVE CONSIDERED MAKING SURE SINCE IT IS AUDIO RECORDED ONLY, WE WILL BE MAKING THAT AVAILABLE FOR TRUSTEES SO MANY DAYS FOLLOWING EACH WORK SESSION IN THE FUTURE. I DO RECALL THIS WAS OUR FIRST ORGANIZATION AND WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE LOGISTICS ON HOW WE MANAGE THESE. BEAR WITH US.

IF Y'ALL WILL PLEASE GIVE US THE HIGH LEVEL. THANK YOU.

>> WITH THIS ONE SLIDE WE CAN PRETTY MUCH SUMMARIZE WHAT THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION WAS ABOUT.

BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH THREE MAJOR GOALS FOR GWC.

ONE WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE EFFECTIVE SCHOOL FRAMEWORK AND MAKE SURE IT IS INTERWOVEN INTO THE TARGET IMPROVEMENT PLAN. GWC ALSO HAS THEIR OWN PLAN THAT WE WORKED WITH IN THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AND REGIONAL CENTER AS WELL TO HELP IN THIS CONTINUE US WITH IMPROVEMENT MODEL. THE SECOND THING WE ARE WORKING ON AND I WANT MS. REDDICK TO SPEAK TO THIS BECAUSE SHE IS THE ACE MANAGER AND THAT'S A SCHOOL ACTION FUND.

WE RECEIVED THAT AS A DISTRICT AND WE ARE IN OUR FIRST YEAR OF PLANNING WITH GWC.

THERE WERE DIFFERENT CHOICES WE COULD HAVE SELECTED. WE CHOSE TO RESTART THE METHODOLOGY FOR GWC AND SO THAT IS GOING TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BASICALLY RESTAFF AND RESTART GWC NEXT YEAR IN THE SAME BUILDING UNDER A SAME BUILDING CODE.

MS. REDDICK WILL YOU SPEAK TO THE ACTION PROJECT. >> GOING TO THE THIRD BULLET, TALKING ABOUT A HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS FRAMEWORK AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE HITTING THE PARAMETERS.

WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON 5.1 AND 4.1 AS IT RELAYS -- RELATES TO THE TIP.

[01:15:05]

AS PART OF THE SCHOOL ACTION FUND, WE ARE PLANNING INITIATIVES TO START GWC NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. SO WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PROJECT PLAN WE WILL BE FOLLOWING IN ORDER TO DO SO. SO THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE SUMMATION OF WHAT WE TALKED

ABOUT AT THE WORKSHOP. >> [INAUDIBLE]. >> YES, WE DID.

WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH MR. KANE AS WE WORKED WITH HIM LAST SCHOOL YEAR AS WELL.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. IT IS FOR THE BOARD OR TRUSTY HAMILTON.

THERE WAS A PRESENTATION COMPLETED ON THE 21ST WHICH WAS A LENGTHY PRESENTATION, BUT VERY DETAILED IN AND FORMATIVE. AND INFORMATIVE. THE INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONVEY TO TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS. THIS IS REGARDING NOT ONLY THEIR TAX DOLLARS, BUT THEIR STUDENTS. IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR REASON

WHY WE ARE NOT MAKING THE DETAILS OF THIS INFORMATION -- >> POINT OF PRIVILEGE.

THE PRESENTATION WAS PROVIDED FOR US. >> CAN I ASK -- CAN I ASK A

QUESTION PLEASE? >> I AM ENACTING MY ROLE AS PARLIAMENTARIAN AT THIS TIME.

>> THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOUR ROLE. THIS IS ABOUT MY QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO THE ITEM THAT IS

BEING PRESENTED. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT. >> AND BEING MADE AVAILABLE.

I AM NOT FINISHED SPEAKING. >> MY ROLE AS PARLIAMENTARIAN GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO STOP YOU AND PROVIDE SOME COLOR FOR YOU AND FOR ALL OF US. THE INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED FOR US IN THESE ACTION ITEMS AND PRESENTATIONS ARE FOR US TO MAKE A DECISION.

I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT WE FEEL NEEDS TO BE PRESENTED FOR THE COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION, BUT WE ARE THE ONES TAKING ACTION. IF YOU WERE AT THE WORK SESSION OR IF YOU GOT THE INFORMATION AND HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW IT, THIS IS WHERE WE CAN TAKE OUR DUTY AND VOTE ON THIS ACT. AT THIS POINT, I UNDERSTAND YOU

ARE GOING TOWARD IT NEEDS TO BE TRANSPARENT. >> AS FAR AS COMMUNICATING WITH

THE PARENTS WHAT IS GOING ON AT GWC AND THEIR STUDENTS. >> AT THIS POINT I WANT TO GO

BACK TO THE AGENDA AND GO FORWARD. >> YOU ARE STATING NOT TO MAKE THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE PARENTS REGARDING THEIR STUDENTS BECAUSE IT WAS MUCH MORE THAN JUST THIS. IT WAS REGARDING THE NUMBERS AND HOW --

>> IT IS IN THE BOARD BOOK AND THE COMMUNITY AS ACCESS TO BOARD BOOK.

>> THANK YOU, MR. JONES FOR THAT INFORMATION. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR

QUESTIONS FOR MS. REDDICK AND MS. BELL? >> THANK YOU, LADIES.

BOARD, THIS IS -- THESE ARE CALLS FOR ACTION. IS THERE A MOTION?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT I MOVE WE ADOPT THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

>> ADOPT CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. >> CAN I ASK MR. CLEWIS AND A1

WANTED AN AMENDMENT TO ADD HIS NAME. >> WE AMEND THAT.

[10.A. Discussion and possible approval of Bank Depository - Dr. Faith-Ann Cheek, Presenter]

AND I REMIND EACH TRUSTEE IF YOU KNOW THERE ARE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE LIMIT IT TO TWO MINUTES. WE HAVE A STOP CLOCK TO BE TIMELY DURING OUR MEETINGS.

IT WILL MAKE A BEEPING NOISE WHEN YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED YOUR TWO MINUTES.

FIRST ACTION ITEM IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE BANK DEPOSITORY.

>> THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I WILL CALL FOR DR. CHIEF GARCIA TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD -- ACTUALLY NOT PRESENT BECAUSE THAT WAS LAST MEETING, THE WORK SESSION.

SO I ASK MY TEAM TO MAKE SURE THEY HIGHLIGHT THE ITEMS PRESENTED AT THE WORK SESSION

BEFORE PRESENTING. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, ESTEEMED TRUSTEES AND DR. PERRERA.

THIS IS THE SAME INFORMATION PRESENTED DURING THE WORK SESSION AND OUR RECOMMENDATION AS AN ADMINISTRATION IS TO RECOMMEND PLAINS CAPITAL BANK AS THE NEW DEPOSITORY FOR

[10.B. Consider approval of September 2023 Financial Reports - CAA(LOCAL)-(G3) Dr. Faith-Ann Cheek, Presenter]

APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 2023 FINANCIAL REPORT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT THIS IS A NEW ACTION ITEM FOR TODAY. THERE IS A REQUEST TO REMOVE THESE FOR CONSENT AGENDA AND WE DECIDED TO PUT IT UNDER ACTION. DR. CHEEK WILL PRESENT IT TO THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS SHARE HIGHLIGHTS OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS REPORT COMING FORWARD.

DR. CHEEK, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. >> THANK YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT AND TRUSTIES AND DR. PERRERA, I WILL REVIEW THE FINANCIAL REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED THE FIRST IS THE TAX REPORT. IT COMES MONTHLY AND GIVES US AN UPDATE ON THE TAXES COLLECTED FOR THE PRESENT YEAR AS WELL AS PREVIOUS YEARS. AND I WILL, MOVING FORWARD, BE PROVIDING THIS REPORT MONTHLY TO YOU AS WE RECEIVE IT. THIS MONTH WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DALLAS COUNTY REGARDING OUR TAX COLLECTIONS. AS THE LETTER THAT WAS PROVIDED TO YOU EXPLAINS DUE TO A DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE AND DUE TO PROTESTS WE HAD OVER COLLECTIONS WHICH WE HAD TO PAY BACK TO DALLAS COUNTY. THAT PAYMENT WAS ACTUALLY MADE YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE GENERAL FUND REPORT WHICH COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF TEAMS. OUR LAST AVAILABLE REPORT IS AS OF 8/31-23.

I WANT TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THAT THIS IS UNAUDITED AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

NOT ONLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BUT CHANGES DAILY. WE ARE STILL RECEIVING INVOICES FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR AND WE -- AND THIS PARTICULAR YEAR STAYS OPEN UNTIL THE NIGHT THAT THE FINANCIAL AUDIT IS PRESENTED TO YOU AND APPROVED AS WELL AS WHEN THE AUDITORS COME IN OCTOBER. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ASK US TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN JOURNALS AND HOWEVER I WILL PRESENT IT TO YOU. MRS. WHITFIELD WHO HAD PRESENTED QUESTIONS TO DR. PERRERA REGARDING REPORTS AND REGARDING A DEFICIT OF $2.5 MILLION.

THIS IS THE ONLY REPORT PRESENTED THAT SHOWED A POSSIBLE AND MAYBE MISS COMMUNICATE -- MISCOMMUNICATION. IN OUR ACCOUNTING REPORTS, REVENUE IS ACTUALLY PRESENTED AS A DEFICIT -- I'M SORRY, AS A NEGATIVE NUMBER.

WHAT THIS REPORT PARTICULARLY SHOWS WITH THE NEGATIVE 2.5 MILLION IS THAT WE HAD AN OVER COLLECTION AND THAT THERE IS A BALANCE SITTING THERE. SO WE COLLECTED APPROXIMATELY 2.5 MILLION MORE THAN WAS BUDGEDDED. BUDGETED.

AS YOU KNOW WHAT WAS BUDGETED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND WHAT YOU ADOPT IN AUGUST IS AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT WILL BE COLLECTED. THE NEXT IS AN INVESTMENT REPORT. AS OF 8/31/23, WE WANT TO PARTICULARLY HIGHLIGHT THE COLUMN MARKED ENDING VALUE, 8/31/23. THE MARKET VALUE CHANGES AND FLUCTUATES QUARTERLY. WE REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT OUR ACTUAL ENDING VALUE IS EACH MONTH. THIS IS A MONTHLY REPORT THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE.

TRUSTEE JONES, YOU HAD A QUESTION EARLIER REGARDING INVESTMENTS AND I HAD A LENGTHY MEETING WITH JOSH MCLAUGHLIN AND WE DETERMINED THAT CURRENTLY INVESTMENT POOLS ARE THE HIGHEST RETURN FOR ANY KIND OF INVESTMENT. SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE ALL FUNDS THERE CURRENTLY. YOU WILL SEE THAT WE DO MAKE REGULAR DEPOSITS INTO THESE INVESTMENT POOLS AND AS WE HAVN AND OUT BETWEEN THE BANK DEPOSITORY AND THE INVESTMENT POOLS BECAUSE THE INVESTMENT POOLS MAKE MUCH MORE MONEY THAN THE BANK DEPOSITORY AT THIS

[01:25:04]

TIME. WE ALSO WANTED TO SHARE COMING SOON THAT WE HAVE ADDED FORECAST 5 REPORTING TO FRONT LINE. IT IS ALREADY A PART OF FRONT LINE TEAMS. THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD REPORTING SYSTEM FOR OUR BOARD OF TRUSTIES AND OTHER FINANCIAL REPORTS. SO WE WILL HAVE THESE REPORTS STARTING IN OCTOBER. THE FIRS REPORT ON THE UPPER LEFT IS THE GENERAL FUND REPORT AND IT SHOWS IN COLOR BOTH OUR EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A MONTHLY UPDATE. ON THE TOP RIGHT IS THE GENERAN REPORT AND ALSO AVAILABLE WITH GRAPHS AND IT IS UPDATED MONTHLY. THE BOTTOM LEFT IS A DEBT SERVICE REPORT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU MONTHLY IN THE PAST, BUT WE WILL MOVING FORWARD BE PROVIDING THAT. AND ALSO ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS A FEDERAL FUND REPORT THAT WILL BE GENERATED MONTHLY FOR YOU. THAT IS ALSO A REPORT THAT WILL BE NEW TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> I HAVE A COMMENT AND IT IS MORE OF A CLARIFICATION OF THE 2.5. THE 2.5 PRETTY MUCH WAS MORE RELATING TO A CONTRACT THAT WAS PAID OR SCHEDULED OR AUTHORIZED FOR $70,000 PUT OVERPAID 1.5 MILLION AND ANOTHER CONTRACT SUPPOSEDLY THAT WAS PAID A MILLION FUNDS UNACCOUNTED FOR. I I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED THAT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE BOARD VIA EMAIL FOR IT TO BE ADDRESSED AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE ADDRESSED AT A LATER TIME.

>> TRUSTEE WHITFIELD, THIS ITEM YOU ARE REFERRING TO, I'M ASSUMING IT WAS A SPECIAL ED CONTRACT. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO THE BOARD ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS INCLUDING IN BOTH THE MAY AND THE SUMMER SESSIONS, THE WORK SESSIONS WE HAD FOR BUDGETING.

THE NOTE WAS SIGNED IN 2020, PRIOR TO ANY OF MYSELF OR MY STAFF ARRIVING HERE.

THERE WERE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE. THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MONITORED THAT DID NOT SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH THE REST OF US. WE HAD TO ACTUALLY DISCOVER THAT. YOU SHOULD ALSO NOTE AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR. IT WAS NOT MONEY THAT WAS NOT THERE.

ORIGINALLY, YES, YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THAT AMOUNT. OVER TIME IT DID INCREASE.

IT WAS PAID TWO YEARS PRIOR TO ME ARRIVING HERE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU ARE GOING WITH IT, BUT I CAN SAY TO YOU THAT THERE IS NO OVERAGE. THERE ARE REPRESENTATIVES SITTING HERE AND I KNOW IF THERE WAS WE WOULD NOT HAVE A SUPERIOR RATING IN FINANCE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND, REALLY QUICK, IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE TAX ISSUE.

>> ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE LETTER? WE AS TRUSTEES WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW DALLAS COUNTY DOES OUR TAXES. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF PROPERTY TAXES. WHAT WE DO HAVE CONTROL, WE WERE CONSERVATIVE WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. BECAUSE OF THIS LETTER, I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I WAS A HEARING OFFICER AT ONE POINT. IF THERE IS LARGE DISKREPL PEN SEE AND PROTESTING PROPERTY TAXES, THAT'S ON US. AND WHEN IT IS ON US TO HAVE TO PAY THOSE TAXES, WE -- WHERE SENIOR CITIZENS TAKE OR VETERANS TAKE THOSE EXEMPTION OF TAXES OR OUR PROTESTS THE TAXES AND THEY GET PAID SOME KIND OF WAY. IT IS TAKING AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN AND WHAT WE ARE HERE TO SERVE FOR. I JUST WANT US TO BE CAUTIOUS THAT WE LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE WHEN WE ARE CONSIDERING OUR TAX RATES.

>> THANK YOU. I DON'T HEAR ANYMORE COMMENTS. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE A MOTION? >> I MOVE WE APPROVE THE SEPTEMBER 2023 FINANCIAL REPORT

AS PRESENTED. >> MOTION BY MR. JONES. >> SECOND.

>> AND A SECOND BY MR. CLEWIS TO APPROVE THE TP-BL REPORT. FINANCIAL REPORT.

AROUND ROLLING HILLS. >> I WILL CALL FOR THAT PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY. AS WE ALL KNOW BEYOND THE CLASSROOM IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS SAFE. MR. OSTER IS HERE TO PRESENT SOME INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AT ROLLING HILLS AND A SOLUTION FOR THAT TODAY.

>> IF YOU LOOK, YOU WILL HAVE AN UPDATED FORM REFLECTING THIS ITEM AND A COUPLE MORE FOR

OPERATIONS. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT. >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND DISTINGUISHED BOARD OF TRUSTIES AND DR. PERRERA.

I AM HERE FOR THE RECOMMENDATION TO INSTALL A FENCE AROUND ROLLING HILLS ELEMENTARY PLAYGROUND. RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO BARRIER AROUND THE PLAYGROUND AT ROLLING HILLS ELEMENTARY. THIS ADDITION OF THE FENCE WILL ALLOW US TO SECURE THE OPEN AREA WHERE STUDENTS CURRENTLY HAVE RECESS. THE DISTRICT PROPOSING A 6-FOOT FENCE WITH MODERN GATES AND PANIC BARS AND AUTOMATIC CLOSURES.

THREE PROPOSALS WERE SOLICITED RANGING FROM 54,000 TO 62,000. FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS WE SUGGESTED -- WE SELECTED WRAUT -- WRAUGHT IRON FENCE.

[10.D. Discussion and action regarding claiming a good cause exception to the requirements of House Bill 3 due to a lack of personnel qualified to serve as security officers as described in Texas Education Code 37.0814(a) by September 1, 2023, and delegate authority to the Superintendent to modify the Board’s alternative standard as needed. (G2) - Clifford Wherley, Presenter]

REGARDING CLAIMING A GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF HOUSE BILL 3 DUE TO A LACK OF PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO SERVE AS SECURITY OFFICERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 37.0814A BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 AND DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO THE SUPERINTENDENT

TO MODIFY THE BOARD'S ALTERNATIVE STANDARD AS NEEDED. >> AS YOU ALL KNOW THERE WAS A HOUSE BILL THAT PASSED REGARDING SECURITY. PEOPLE ARE HERE TO PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AND TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING SOME ALTERNATIVES.

>> GOOD EVENING BOARD PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND BOARD OF TRUSTIES AND DR. PERRERA.

I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION RESOLUTION.

THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 37.0814 WAS CREATED ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2023 WITH THE PASSING OF HOUSE BILL 3 BY THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE. IT REQUIRES EACH SCHOOL BOARD TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS FOR EACH DISTRICT CAMPUS AND ABSENT A GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION ENSURE ONE ARMED SECURITY OFFICER SPECIFICALLY A COMMISSIONED PEACE OFFICER IS PRESENT DURING REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS AT EVERY CAMPUS.

THE SAME CODE 370814 DEFINED AN ARMED SECURITY OFFICER AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE OFFICER, A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER OR A COMMISSIONED PEACE OFFICER EMPLOYED AS A SECURITY PERSONNEL. A SCHOOL BOARD CAN CLAIM A GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION DUE TO LACK OF

[01:35:04]

FUNDING OR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. IF THE BOARD CLAIMS A GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION OR -- EXEMPTION , EXCUSE ME, THEY MUST PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE STANDARD.

IT MAY INCLUDE THE RELIANCE ON A SCHOOL MARSHAL, SCHOOL GUARDIAN PROGRAM OR LEVEL 3 ARMED LICENSED SECURITY GUARDS. THEY CAN COME THROUGH WITH A COMPANY OR ARMED HOUSE SECURITY. TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NEW LAW WITHOUT CLAIMING A GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION, THE DISTRICT NEEDS SIX ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS.

THE COST TO HIRE SIX ADDITIONAL OFFICERS WOULD BE ABOUT $650,000 A YEAR.

UNFORTUNATELY THE LEGISLATOR INCLUDED VERY LITTLE FUNDING FOR THEIR NEW MANDATE AND THE DISTRICT WHIM RECEIVE $165,000 A YEAR FROM HOUSE BILL 3. THE DISTRICT THEREFORE WILL HAVE TO CLAIM A GOOD CAUSE GAS. THE DISTRICT ADDED TWO NEW POLICE OFFICERS AND THEY WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THE ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND SECURITY FUNDING WITH HOUSE BILL 3, WITH THAT $165,000. THE DISTRICT WILL USE FUNDS FROM THE 2022/2025TEA SAFETY AND SECURITY GRANT TO CONTRACT WITH A LICENSED ARMED SECURITY GUARD COMPANY FOR FOUR LICENSED ARMED SECURITY GUARDS. THE ALTERNATIVE STANDARD BEING RECOMMENDED TO YOU TONIGHT IN THIS RESOLUTION IS THAT LANCASTER ISD POLICE OFFICER THAT WILL BE ASSIGNED TO EACH SECONDARY CAMPUS AND THREE OF THE SIX ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES. THE FOUR LICENSED ARMED SECURITY GUARDS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE REMAINING THREE ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES AND THE DISTRICT'S ALTERNATIVE CAMPUS. AND THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY STRUCTURES OF THE DISTRICT AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF AND IF THERE IS ANY AFTER EVALUATION, IF THERE IS ANY CHANGES OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD COME BACK TO UPDATE THE RESOLUTION WITH YOU MOVING FORWARD. IT HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED IN ANY OTHER MEETING.

THIS IS THE FIRST MEETING WE HAVE HAD THIS IN. I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> I JUST WANTED TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THIS FOR THESE OFFICERS WE HAVE, THE POLICE OFFICERS, WOULD BE $230,000.

WITH THIS NEW PROPOSAL WE ARE ASKING FOR $112,000. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS SENT BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT WHICH I THINK WAS $160,000, AGAIN WE ARE ASKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. NOT THAT WE DEVALUE SAFETY, BUT TO MAKE SURE WE DO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF SECURITY PRESENT. WE HAVE NEW CAMERA SYSTEMS AND OTHER ITEMS IN PLACE AS WELL, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT THE ALTERNATIVE TO THAT IS 230,000 AS OPPOSED TO -- TW-PB INAUDIBLE -- [INAUDIBLE]. CAN'T PUT A VALUE ON SAFETY.

BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE WE EFFECTIVELY UTILIZE OUR DOLLARS.

>> IS THE LONG-TERM PLAN TO HAVE PEACE OFFICERS AS OPPOSED TO THE SECURITY OFFICERS?

>> YES. WHAT WE ARE HOPING IS THAT WHEN THIS NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WHEN THEY COME BACK AND RECONVENE IN OCTOBER, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL START TO FUND SOME OF THESE STATE MANDATES. IDEALLY WHAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT WHETHER THEY DO OR DON'T IS THEY ARE CALMED -- CALLED COPS GRANTS THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT PAYS A 75/25 SPLIT THROUGH A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. WE WILL BE LOOKING AT GRANTS LIKE THAT. THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST FUNDING.

IT IS TRYING TO HIRE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS. WE ARE OUT THERE LIKE EVERY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT SKROUPBGING FOR NEW OFFICERS -- SCROUNGING FOR NEW OFFICERS AND LIKE TEACHERS, PRIOR TO THE TEACHER SHORTAGE WE HAVE HAD AN OFFICER SHORTAGE.

SO TRYING TO GET THAT -- I CAN TELL YOU THE TWO NEW POSITIONS BETWEEN THOSE TWO AND ON TOP OF THE ADDITIONAL POSITION WHERE I HAVE AN OFFICER THAT LEFT IN AUGUST, WE HAVE HAD THREE OPEN POSITIONS AND FIVE APPLICANTS FOR THOSE THREE POSITIONS. AND SO THERE IS A LOT THAT PLAYS INTO IT AND NOT JUST OVERALL FUNDING. WE ARE PICKY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT

JUST GOING TO HAVE ANYBODY ON OUR CAMPUS WITH OUR KIDS. >> THANK YOU, BOARD.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. IS THERE A MOTION? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, I WILL MAKE

[01:40:06]

A MOTION. WHERE ARE WE? IT IS TO APPROVE THE GOOD CAUSE HOUSE BILL 3 AND ITS REQUIREMENTS. IS THAT SUFFICIENT? SO LET ME RE-DO THAT. I MAKE A MOTION FOR THE -- MAKE A MOTION FOR THE GOOD CAUSE

EXCEPTION RESOLUTION. >> HAVE A MOTION BY MR. CLEWIS TO ACCEPT THE GOOD CAUSE EX

EXSEPLION AND REQUIREMENTS RESOLUTION. >> A SECOND.

>> A SECOND BY MR. JONES. DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? HEARING NONE I CALL FOR THE

VOTE. WHITFIELD. >> MORRIS.

>> YES. >> JONES. >> YES.

>> CLEWIS. >> YES. >> STEPHENSON.

>> YES. >> MYSELF IS A YES. MOTION PASSES.

[10.E. Discussion and possible approval of contracting with Code 3 Security to provide armed security officers for the 2023-2024 school year not to exceed $115,000.00. (G2) - Clifford Wherley, Presenter]

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF CONTRACTING WITH CODE-3 SECURITY TO PROVIDE ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR AND NOT

EXCEED $115. DR. PERRERA. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

CHIEF WHERLEY, YOU ARE ON AGAIN, SIR. >> EXCUSE ME.

JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION. DO WE NEED TO READ THE RESOLUTION?

DO WE NEED TO READ IT OR NOTE THAT IT IS LISTED? >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND BOARD OF TRUSTIES AND DR. PERRERA, ON THIS INCIDENT I AM HERE TO DISCUSS AND REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE DISTRICT TO CONTRACT WITH CODE 3 SECURITY TO PROVIDE ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS FOR THE UPCOMING -- OR THE CURRENT 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR NOT TO EXCEED $115,000. THE PASSING OF HOUSE BILL 3 BY THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE ADDED SECURITY OFFICERS IS ONE OF THE WAYS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOOD CAUSE EXCEPTION.

THE SECURITY SERVICE CONTRACTOR MUST BE LICENSED THOUGH UNDER CHAPTER 1702 OF THE TEXAS OCCUPATION CODE AND THE COMMISSIONED SECURITY OFFICERS MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE LEVEL 3 TRAINING COURSE REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

THE DISTRICT WILL NEED TO CONTRACT WITH THE SECURITY SERVICE CONTRACT BEFORE ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOOD CLAUSE EXCEPTION WHICH YOU JUST PASSED. THE SECURITY OFFICERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE THREE ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES IN J.D. HALL. THE SECURITY OFFICERS DO NOT HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY AND WILL ONLY INTERVENE TO STOP OR PREVENT SOMEONE FROM CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. IF A CRIMINAL OFFENSE OCCURS OR A NEED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, LANCASTER ISD POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL RESPOND AS WE CURRENTLY DO NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO AT THOSE CAMPUSES. WE OBTAINED A TOTAL OF SIX QUOTES FOREARMED SECURITY SERVICES. THE QUOTES RANGE FROM UNDER $113,000 TO UP TO $192,000. THE QUOTES WERE FOR FOUR ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS FOR THE REMAINING 140 SCHOOL DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH A START DATE OF OCTOBER 2ND.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE. IT IS PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF WHEN OUR BOARD MEETING FELL. SO IT WON'T ACTUALLY START OCTOBER 2ND.

IT WILL BE PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT. OBVIOUSLY THE PRICE OVERALL WILL GO DOWN. IT IS BASED ON A PER HOUR FOR EACH OFFICER.

THAT ACTUALLY WILL GO DOWN. TALKING WITH THEM YESTERDAY WE ARE SHOOTING FOR LIKE MID-AUGUST -- OR MID-OCTOBER START DATE. A LOT OF THAT COMES TO WE HAVE TO GET THEM FINGERPRINTED AND BACKGROUND CHECKS DONE PRIOR TO THEM COMING TO THE SCHOOL LIKE WE DO ALL THE BOARDS. AS YOU HAVE SEEN, CODE 3 SECURITY IS THE COMPANY WITH THE LOWEST BID OUT OF THE SIX COMPANIES. THE DISTRICT PARTNER SECURED FOR UNARMED SECURITY OFFICERS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THAT WAS TO HELP WITH THE WEAPONS DETECTION SYSTEM MONITORING. AND SO WE ALREADY HAVE PARTNERED WITH THEM IN THE PAST AND THEY WERE GREAT PARTNERS TO KIND OF WORK HAND IN HAND WITH.

THEY ARE ALSO WOMEN OWNED AND MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS WHICH WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PUSHING THOSE AS BEST WE CAN. ESPECIALLY IN SECURITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR SURE.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> QUESTIONS FROM BOARD? HEARING NONE. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM IS THERE A MOTION?

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH CODE 3 SECURITY FOR THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR AS

PRESENTED. >> SECOND. >> MOTION BY MR. JONES.

[10.F. Discussion and possible approval for the Removal of Belt Line Elementary Bandhall Portable Building (G2 & G3) - Roger Oster, Presenter]

PASSES. NEXT IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL FOR THE REMOVAL OF

BELT LINE ELEMENTARY BANDHALL PORTABLE. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

AND I WILL SAY TO THE BOARD AND THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF CAPITAL OUTLAY AND OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE, I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A LONGTIME WANT AND NEED AT BELT LINE.

I AM GRACIOUS TO THE BOARD FOR THE SPECIAL FUND THAT ALLOW US TO DO THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS

GOING FORWARD. ROGER? >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND DISTINGUISHED BOARD OF TRUSTEES. I AM HERE TO PRESENT A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REMOVAL OF BELT LINE ELEMENTARY BANDHALL PORTABLE BUILDING.

THE SUMMER OF 2022 THE DISTRICT DECIDED TO INTERNATIONALLY CONDEMN THE BAND HALL BUILDING DUE TO CONDITIONS. IF THE DISTRICT IS ALLOWED TO REMOVE THIS PORTABLE, IT WILL GIVE MNO MORE ROOM FOR TKRAEUD -- FOR GRADING PROPERLY AND KEEPING WATER OUT OF BUILDING IN HEAVY RAINS. IF YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE, BETWEEN THE PORTABLE BUILDING AND THE MAIN BUILDING WITH THE RED X'S, THERE IS A CROWN ON THE TOP OF THAT SURFACE THERE.

ONCE THE WATER HITS, IT DRAINS TOWARD THE BUILDINGS. ONCE THAT PORTABLE IS REMOVED, WE COME IN AND MOVE THE CROWN AND START GRADING OUT. THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE WATER SETTLING ON THE PORTABLE SIDE AND UP AGAINST THE BUILDING. THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING HAS STUCCO WALLS THAT ARE FALLING APART AND LEAK ON THE EDGES OF THE ROOF.

THE THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING. THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE SIDE, THE FAR RIGHT CORNER THERE. WHERE THE FLOOR HAS DETERIORATED AWAY FROM THE SUPPORT OF THE WALLS AND THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME FROM THE FLOOR.

IF YOU ARE INSIDE THAT BUILDING AND YOU ARE STANDING IN THAT ROOM THERE ON THE TOP RIGHT, YOU CAN PUSH UP AGAINST THE WALL AND THE WALL WILL PUSH AWAY FROM YOU AND AWAY FROM THE FLOOR. YOU CAN PUT YOUR HANDS IN THERE THERE THERE HAS TO BE FLY WOOD TO WALK ON -- PLYWOOD TO WALK ON. THREE WERE GIVEN.

IT WILL BE HAULED OFF ONE DUMPSTER AT A TIME. THE THIRD WAS REASONABLY PRICED AND WILL BE HAULING THE PORTABLE BUILDING IN SIX PIECES OFF THE PROPERTY AND REQUIRING INCLUDING THE UNITS PURCHASED DURING THE HVAC REPLACEMENT, THE AC UNITS DON'T FIT THE OTHER PORTABLE BUILDINGS AND ARE TAKING UP SPACE IN OUR WAREHOUSE.

THE DISTRICT RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDS BOARD APPROVAL FOR BUILDING TRADER TO REMOVE BELT LINE ELEMENTARY BAND HALL PORTABLE BUILDING FOR $7,500. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE A QUESTION. >> MR. OSTER, ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. ON THIS QUOTE OR PROPOSAL HERE, IT SAYS THE TOTAL IS $7500, CORRECT? IT ALSO INDICATES THAT THAT IS ONLY GOOD FOR FIVE DAYS.

WHAT DAY -- THAT'S THE 30TH, AUGUST 30TH. >> I'M SORRY.

THERE IS AN UPDATED ONE IN THERE IN MY NOTES. I'M SORRY.

IT IS FOR 90 DAYS. >> I THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO WHAT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT? >> $7500. >> OKAY.

>> THE ONLY THING THAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THAT PROPOSAL IS THEY ARE HAULING IT OFF.

I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY EXTENDED THE QUOTE BECAUSE ORIGINALLY I DIDN'T TELL THEM ABOUT THE UNITS. WE WERE TALKING AND HE SAID THE UNITS TO BE REPLACED AND I TALKED TO THE AC GUYS AND IT WON'T FIT OTHER AFFORDABLE UNITS.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO ON IT IN WAY. >> SO WHO IS RETAINING THE AC

UNITS, THE DISTRICT OR -- >> THIS COMPANY WILL TAKE THEM WITH THE BUILDING WHICH LAST SUMMER WHEN WE INSTALLED HVAC ACROSS CARVER AND BELLED -- BELT LINE AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GET TO ROLLING HILLS, I SAID THAT BUILDING IS CONDEMNED. LET'S WORRY ABOUT THE MAIN STRUCK -- STRUCTURE, THE MAIN BUILDING. WHEN THEY DELIVERED THEM, WE

[01:50:01]

SENT THEM TO THE WAREHOUSE AND THERE WAS NO NEED TO PUT THEM ON THERE BECAUSE WE WEREN'T

GOING TO UTILIZE THE BUILDING. >> ONE LAST THING. IF THE PORTABLE HAS A LOT OF METAL THAT CAN BE SCRAPPED, DO WE NOT HAVE A RECYCLE OR PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY FOR

RECYCLING METAL? >> THERE IS SOME METAL, BUT IT IS NOT A LOT OF METAL.

>> THE AC UNITS ARE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THEY HAVE COPPER AND ALUMINUM.

THAT'S JUST MONEY WE ARE THROWING AWAY. >> YEAH.

I WILL SAY THIS. IF YOU'RE GONNA SCRAP SOMETHING , LIKE PROFESSIONALLY SCRAP IT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE MAN POWER TO SEPARATE THE COPPER AND SEPARATE THE ALUMINUM AND SEPARATE THE STEEL WHICH IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME WITH THOSE UNITS.

IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF OUR TIME. THE TIME THAT WE COULD BE WORKING WITH STUDENTS IN THE

CLASSROOMS. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

>> MR. JONES? >> GOING TO THE AC UNITS, THE AC UNITS ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

>> RIGHT HERE? >> THE NEXT ONE. >> THERE WE GO.

>> SO WE ARE GIVING THEM FIVE NEW AC UNITS? >> FIVE NEW AC UNITS THAT WE

ALREADY PURCHASED FOR THAT BUILDING. >> SO IS THERE NO WAY THEY CAN

COME BACK AND GET THOSE UNITS? >> NO. I ASKED THE DAY THEY WERE DELIVERED. IT WAS PART OF THE CONTRACT AND THEY WERE BUILT SPECIFICALLY

FOR THAT BUILDING WHEN ORDERED. >> WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE FIVE AC UNITS.

>> I DID FIND THAT OUT. IT IS 35,000. YOU HAVE NO PORTABLE BUILDINGS

THEY WILL FIT ON. THEY'RE TOO BIG. >> THANK YOU.

>> MS. MORRIS. >> TO BE CLEAR -- [INAUDIBLE]. >> TO BE CLEAR WE ARE STILL SAVING MONEY BECAUSE TO CLEAN THAT SPOT OFF AND MOVE THAT THEY ARE ONLY CHARGING US 75.

I SAW OCTOBER 9TH AND TO BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 31ST AND SO WE ARE IN TIME.

>> YES. >> ALL RIGHT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

HA*ERING NONE -- HEARING NONE IS THERE A MOTION? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM MR. OSTER TO ACCEPT THIS CONTRACT TO REMOVE THE PORTABLE AND AIR CONDITION UNIT -- THE AIR CONDITION UNIT, THE HVCA UNITS AND INCLUDE THE NEW FIVE AC UNITS WHILE DOING THE UPGRADE FOR THAT BUILDING, FOR THE 7,500.

>> HAVE A MOTION BY MS. MORRIS FOR THE REMOVAL FOR 7500 AND THE NEW AC UNITS.

IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> HAVE A SECOND BY WHITFIELD.

BOARD ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> MADAM PRESIDENT, I GUESS THIS SASH -- I GUESS WE ARE TAKING THE AIR CONDITION UNITS AND THE 7500 IS LIKE A LITTLE BARTER AGREEMENT.

>> YES. >> WE ARE STILL LESS THAN THE 38 THE OTHER COMPANIES PROVIDE.

ALL RIGHT. MAKES SENSE. MAKES BETTER SENSE TO ME NOW.

>> MOTION ON THE FLOOR. MR. STEPHENSON. >> YES.

>> MR. CLEWIS. >> NO. >> MR. JONES.

>> YES. >> MS. MORRIS. >> YES.

>> MR. SMITH HAS ARRIVED. DID YOU GET THE TIME? I DIDN'T SEE HIM COME IN.

MR. SMITH ARRIVED AT 8:30 P.M. WOULD YOU PRIVY TO VOTE? >> IF YOU DON'T MINE PASS ME.

>> MS. WHITFIELD. >> YES. >> MR. -- MS. MORRIS, DID YOU

VOTE? >> YES. >> I VOTE YES AND THE MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM IS DISCUSSION AND

[10.G. Discussion and possible approval to Replace and Repair Plumbing Equipment throughout the District as needed. (G2 & G3) - Roger Oster, Presenter]

POSSIBLE APPROVAL TO REPLACE ORIE PAIR PLUMBING EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AS

NEEDED. DR. PERRERA. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

I HAVE MR. OSTER HERE AGAIN TO PRESENT SOME INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR BOARD.

AS YOU ALL KNOW WE LOST OUR MASTER PLUMBER THIS JULY UNFORTUNATELY TO AN UNTIMELY DEATH. WE HAVE SORT OF GOTTEN BEHIND ON THOSE THINGS.

[01:55:03]

MR. OSTER HAS A PROPOSAL TO HELP US CATCH UP ON SOME OF THE WORK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE

BY A MASTER PLUMBER. >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT HAMILTON AND DISTINGUISHED POURED OF TRUSTEES AND DR. PERRERA. I AM HERE WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE PLUMBING EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF SMALL PLUMBING REQUESTS THAT NEED ATTENTION. FIRST I I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE THINGS WE NEED TO ADDRESS BEFORE THEY BECOME BIGGER ISSUES.

FIRST WE HAVE TWO 80-GAL LON WATER -- GALLON WATER HEATER THAT'S NEED TO BE REPLACED AT ROSA PARKS ELEMENTARY. ONE IS LEAKING AND BEYOND REPAIR.

THE OTHER IS ON BORROWED TIME SINCE IT WAS INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME.

SINCE THEY ARE TIED IN TOGETHER I SUGGEST WE REPLACE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME FOR $26,000.

SECOND, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS' SINKS HAVING ISSUES AT A FEW ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES.

THESE THINGS ARE MORE COMPLEX THAN YOUR AVERAGE HOUSE SINK. THEY HAVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, SENSORS AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 22,000 IN ESTIMATED REPAIRS AT OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES. THIS BRADLEY SINK IN THE PHOTO RETAILS BETWEEN 4,000 AND 5,000 AND NEW PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY THIS PAST JULY WE LOST OUR MASTER PLUMBER AND BEFORE THAT WE FILLED OUR JOURNEYMAN POSITION.

HE WAS ABLE TO CARRY US THROUGH THE SUMMER AND ALSO THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

YESTERDAY WAS HIS LAST DAY AND TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY BEING WITHOUT A PLUMBER.

WE HAVE A NEW MASTER PLUMBER IN THE HIRING PIPELINE. TO KEEP FROM OVERWHELMING A NEW PLUMBER I AM SUGGESTING TO POSSIBLY SPEND 100,000 TO SUPPORT RRP.

THERE IS A REQUEST TO REPLACE EQUIPMENT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000 WITH ROP.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? HEARING NONE THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. IS THERE A MOTION?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT I MOVE WE APPROVE TO REPLACE AND REPAIR PLUMBING EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT

THE DISTRICT AS NEEDED AS PRESENTED. >> MOTION BY MR. JONES TO REPLACE AND REPAIR PLUMBING EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AS NEEDED.

IS THERE A SECOND? >> I SECOND. >> ANY DISCUSSIONS IN HEARING

NONE I CALL FOR THE VOTE. STEPHENSON. >> CLEWIS.

>> YES. >> JONES. >> YES.

>> MS. MORRIS. >> YES. >> MR. SMITH.

>> YES. >> MS. WHITFIELD. >> MYSELF VOTING YES AND IT

PASSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

TRUSTY KENDALL SMITH IS ATTENDING. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS FOR APPLYING. [APPLAUSE]. WE WILL MOVE -- ANY DISCUSSION?

[13.B. Discussion and possible approval of 2023-24 Work Session dates.]

MOVING ON, I WITH -- I WILL MOVE TO B, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE 2023-24 WORK SESSION DATES. THERE WAS A CALENDAR THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US PREVIOUSLY AS WELL AS TONIGHT. IT IS TO LOOK AT THE WORK SESSION DATES.

ANY DIALOGUE ON THE DATES OR IS EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT WITH WHAT WAS PRESENTED?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I DO HAVE I THINK A LOT OF THOSE DATES ARE CONFLICTING WITH MY KNOWN SCHEDULE. SO THE BEST I CAN SAY IS THAT I WILL MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO BE PRESENT. I JUST THINK THAT IF WE DO DO THE RECORDINGS, THAT WILL REALLY HELP ME FOR THOSE MEETINGS THAT I'M NOT ABLE TO UH TEFPBD -- ATTEND.

[02:00:01]

>> AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE DISCUSSED, IT IS AUDIO RECORDED WE WILL START UP LOADING IT AND STARTING TO GET IT OUT. IT IS WITHIN SEVEN OR 10 DAYS? 10 DAYS AFTER THE WORKSHOP.

IF IT CAN BE PUT UP SOONER, WE WILL DO THAT. >> CAN WE TRY EXTREMELY HARD TO

DO BETTER THAN 10. >> IT WILL RUN TO THE NECK BOARD MEETING -- NEXT BOARD

MEETING. >> YEAH. >> MOST DEAF INTO THE -- MOST DEFINITELY WE WILL TRY TO UP LOAD THOSE ASAP I DON'T WANT SWAGIT TO DO IT.

I THINK WE CAN HANDLE THAT. I DID NOT BUDGET FOR SWAGIT OTHER THAN OUR REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS. SO ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, I'M TRYING TO AVOID UTILIZING THEIR SERVICE. I KNOW I'M SAYING THIS OUT LOUD, BUT IT IS 2700 PER UP LOAD FOR THAT. I THINK MONET CAN UP LOAD THE AUDIO.

AND AGAIN, WE KNOW THERE IS ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUESTIONS IN BETWEEN THE TIME.

THERE IS A TWO-WEEK PERIOD BETWEEN THERE. I'M HAPPY TO HAVE SOMEBODY ON MY TEAM. WE HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ON FRIDAY ABOUT SOME THINGS.

WE ARE OPEN. MS. MORRIS? >> WE DON'T USE CD'S ANYMORE, BUT WE USE USB STICKS. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT UP LOADED FOR ALL OF US OR FOR US THAT WOULD BE PRESENT. BUT IF WE CAN CONSIDER MAKING SURE THAT MR. -- GETS IT IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT COULD BE UP LOADED TO HIM. OR IT COULD BE TO A USB STICK OF OUR PRESENTATION. WE HAVE SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY THAT I REALLY FEEL THAT HE COULD GET IT WITHIN A DAY OR TWO DAYS AFTER WE HAVE MET AND THEN THE 10 DAYS WILL BE FOR THE BOARD.

I WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT IF OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WOULD CONSIDER THAT IN LIEU OF

WORKING WITH HIS WORK SCHEDULE. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> OPENFULLY THAT WILL HELP YOU. WE DO NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE WORK SCHEDULE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED. WE DO NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON SCHEDULE.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE DATES LISTED AND THAT WE ALSO INCLUDE FOR THE PURPOSE THAT MR. CLEWIS CANNOT ATTEND THAT WE UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY WITH A USB STICK OF THAT MEETING TO BE GIVEN TO HIM IN A TIMELY MANNER AND

PRESENTED TO ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WITHIN 10 DAYS. >> A MOTION FROM MS. MORRIS TO APPROVE THE 2023-2024 WORK SESSION AND ADMINISTRATION WILL ASSIST INDIVIDUALS THAT CANNOT

ATTEND. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> A SECOND BY MR. SMITH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT. BE MINDFUL THE DOCUMENTS WILL BE UP LOADED. YOU DO HAVE TIME TO REVIEW THOSES AND SUBMIT QUESTIONS.

THAT WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU MORE TIME TO DIGEST THE INFORMATION. THAT CONCLUDES MY STATEMENT.

>> 234EU -- ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. I CALL FOR THE VOTE.
