[13.B. Discussion and possible approval of the final amended 2022-2023 Lancaster ISD Budget. - CE (LEGAL and LOCAL) - (G2) - Dr. Faith Ann Cheek, Presenter]

THE FIRST ACTION ITEM IS POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF 2022/BUDGET

DR. PERERA. >> KATRISE PERERA: THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO CALL -- TO PRESENT SOME INFORMATION TO YOU.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, DR. PERERA, TONIGHT I PRESENT TO YOU THE FINAL AMENDED BUDGET FOR THE 2 22/23 FISCAL YEAR.

WILL SEE IN THE SECOND COLUMN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT INCLUDE MOVING MONIES THAT WE HAVE TO COVER AREAS THAT WE KNOW THAT WE WOULD NEED TO COVER PARTICULARLY IN FUNCTION AND 71.

THAT AREA WE NEEDED TO MOVE MONEY TO COVER FOR COMPLIANCE OF GATSBY 87 AND HE HAS BEEN 96, WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY THE

[00:45:02]

EDITORS AND THEIR PRELIMINARY AUDIT.

THE GATSBY 96 IS NEW. AND THEY HELPED US DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO BE MOVED INTO THAT FUNCTION.

AS I PRESENTED IN THE AUGUST 2ND BUDGET WORKSHOP, THE OTHER AREAS WHERE WE SUGGEST AND PROPOSE TO MOVE MONIES OR INTO THE SPECIAL PROJECT FUNDS AS I HAD PRESENTED.

WE PROPOSED MAKING THESE FOUR NEW FUNDS FIND 651, 652, 653, AND 654. THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESOURCE GUIDE, WHICH REFERRED TO IN THE FINANCE WORLD FOR GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING, THAT IS THE T.E.A. ACCOUNTING MANUAL. THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED IN THE OPTION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DECLASSIFY CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS. SO THESE FUNDS ACT SORT OF LIKE BOND FUNDS IN THE FACT THAT EACH FISCAL YEAR, INSTEAD OF ROLLING AUTOMATICALLY ON THE LAST DAY OF THE FISCAL YEAR, INTO FUND BALANCE, THEY CAN BE ROLLED AND THEY STAY IN THE FRONT THAT THEY ARE IN. SO FOR EXAMPLE, ON AUGUS AUGUST 31ST, IF THE FUNDS WERE IN A FRONT THAT STARTED WITH -- IN THE SIX HUNDREDS, ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, THE MONEY STILL STAYS THERE. IT DOES NOT ROLL INTO FUND BALANCE AND IT CAN STILL BE USED BY THE DISTRICT.

SO WE RECOMMEND TAKING THOSE EXCESS FUNDS THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM EMPLOYEE VACANCIES ACROSS THE DISTRICT AS WE HAD EXPLAINED BEFORE THAT WE HAD SOME ACCESS.

INSTEAD OF LETTING THOSE AUTOMATICALLY ROLL INTO FUND BALANCE BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH AXIS FUND BALANCE NOW, WE RECOMMEND REMOVING THOSE INTO A 600 FUNDS SO THAT THE DISTRICT CAN CONTINUE TO USE THEM. IN A 651 BUT, IF WE MOVED $3 MILLION INTO 8651 RUN, WE WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT FOR FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS. WE KNOW THAT OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THAT MR. AUSTER'S TEAM HAS USED OVER $11 MILLION FOR FACILITY REPAIRS AND OTHER PROJECTS.

BUT HE HAS COME TO YOU MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO ASK YOU TO TAKE MONEY OUT OF FUND BALANCE. IN THIS CASE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE IN A 651 FUND.

IN A 652 FRONT, IT IS MORE OF A BASIC FUND.

WE COULD HAVE -- MONEY COULD BE USED FOR EQUIPMENT.

IT COULD BE USED SUCH AS FINE ARTS.

THERE ARE A LARGE INSTRUMENT NEEDS AS I UNDERSTAND AND INSTEAD OF ASKING AS OTHER DISTRICTS DO, FOR PARENTS TO PAY FOR INSTRUMENTS OR TO PAY LARGE BAND FEES OR INSTRUMENT FEES, WE WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE INSTRUMENTS FOR THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE BAND. WE WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO USE MONEY TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT FOR ATHLETICS THAT ATHLETICS WOULD NOT HAVE TO RAISE ON THEIR OWN. IN PUTTING -- MOVING INTO A 653 AN ACCOUNT, WE WOULD HAVE MONEY FOR TECHNOLOGY NEEDS.

SUCH AS WHEN WE HAD OUR RANSOMWARE PROBLEMS AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT PURCHASING ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT WERE LOOKING AT SERVER NEEDS THAT CAME UP. THAT MONEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO INTO FUND BALANCE TO LOOK FOR THOSE DOLLARS. IFS WENT MOVING MONEY INTO A 654 ACCOUNT THOSE MONIES WOULD BE USED FOR TOURIST COULD BE USED FOR TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS TO BUY A BUS IF NEEDED OR ANY OF THE FLEET NEEDS. NOW, THAT IS NOT MEAN THAT IT CIRCUMVENTS ANY OF THE OTHER RULES OF FINANCE FOR INSTANCE, ANY PURCHASE OVER 50,000 EUROS WITH STILL NEEDS TO COME TO THE BOARD. ANY CONTRACT OVER $50,000 WOULD STILL NEED TO COME TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL WITHIN THOSE FUNDS.

BUT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO OUT OF FUND BALANCE FOR THEM.

JUST AS A REMINDER, AS REVIEWED BEFORE, THIS IS WHERE THE HISTORY OF THE FUND BALANCE CURRENTLY SIT.

AS YOU CAN SEE THROUGH 2122, THE FUND BALANCE HERE IN LANCASTER

[00:50:02]

HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY. WHAT IS SUGGESTED IS A THREE MONTH OPERATING AND THAT IS DEPICTED BY THE RED LINE.

SO WE ARE WELL OVER THE NEEDED FUND BALANCE FOR FISCAL SOLVENCY HERE IN THIS DISTRICT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS

TIME? >> CLEWIS.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS.

MY FIRST ONE IS GOING TO BE SPECIAL FUNDING.

YOU MENTIONED 651652, AND 654. WHAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD 651 BE

USED FOR? >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: THOSE PARTICULAR CODES ARE DISTRICT DEFINED ACCORDING TO SAS-WRIGHT.

AND SO IN MAKING THOSE CODES, I WILL BE 100% HONEST, BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCALLY DEFINED IN KEEPING THEM EASY TO REMEMBER AND SO IN MAKING IT A 51. SO THE DEPICTION OF THE ACCOUNT CODING IS REALLY THE SIXTH, WHICH A 600 FUND.

BY PUTTING A 51 AFTER IT, IT WOULD JUST KIND OF GO ALONG WITH FUNCTION 51. SO IT WILL BE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS BECAUSE WHAT I WOULD PARTICULARLY CALL IT, 52 GOING ALONG WITH EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY AND THINGS.

53 GOING ALONG WITH TECHNOLOGY AND 54 BEING LIKE FUNCTION 34 FOR TRANSPORTATION AND HONESTLY I'M TAKING THAT SUGGESTION FROM PAST SIX WEEKS THAT I HAVE BEEN IN.

THAT IS KIND OF A BEST PRACTICE THAT I HAVE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY FROM SOME OF THE MENTORS THAT I HAVE HAD.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: IS A 651 SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, THE TURKS, THE RENOVATION OF THAT?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: THOSE FUNDS COULD BE USED FOR ANY PROJECT

THAT IS DETERMINED. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: 652, 653, AND 64 EQUALLY HAVE A 5, $5,000 ANOR SUN 652, THERE'S A FINE ARTS, ATHLETICS, AND EQUIPMENT. NO, LET ME PAUSE THERE.

AS BEING A PART OF THE -- HAS KIND OF OPENED MY EYES AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SHOWN UP TODAY.

I AM. BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE.

WHEN I ASK YOU ABOUT 651, THE ANSWER I THINK IS YES, IS PROBABLY FOR THE RENOVATION. I HAVE ALWAYS SAID AND WILL CONTINUE TO SAY, LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE FINE ARTS.

ROTC. THERE ARE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ALSO NEED FUNDING. WHAT IS THE CURRENT FUND BAL

BALANCE? >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: IT IS

APPROXIMATELY $36 MILLION. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: SO ON THE FINAL, THERE'S A $6,154,000 DEFICIT.

AM I CORRECT? ROUGHLY?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: A DEFICIT? >> DARYLE CLEWIS: WELL, EXPLAIN WHAT -- SAYS HERE, IT SAYS DEFICIT.

OR EXCUSE ME, RATHER OF REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURES.

SO ARE WE IN THE NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: NO. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: SO WHAT DOES

THAT REPRESENT? >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: WHEN THE BUDGET WAS ADOPTED, THE ADOPTED BUDGET OR THE AMENDED BUDGET FOR THAT MR. GARRISON WITH ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT HE HAD PRESENTED ALONG THE WAY, THAT THE PROJECTED BUDGET, THAT HE PROJECTED THAT EXPENDITURES WOULD BE $6 MILLION OVER WHAT THE REVENUE WOULD GENERATE. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THAT IS UNTIL THE AUDIT IS PERFORMED IN JANUARY. WHAT I'M PROJECTING IF YOU GO BACK, WHAT I'M PROJECTING IS IN THE FINAL COLUMN, AND I THINK IT

[00:55:01]

WILL EVEN BE LESS THAN THAT. BUT AGAIN, UNTIL THE AUDIT, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH EXACTLY WILL GO INTO FUND BALANCE.

I BELIEVE THAT WE VERY, VERY SAFELY CAN MOVE $4.5 MILLION INTO 600 FUNDS. NOW, MY SUGGESTION, IF YOU WILL REMEMBER FROM AUGUST 2ND, I ACTUALLY WAS SUGGESTING MOVING $3.5 MILLION INTO THE FACILITY AND.

AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, AND AS WE HAVE HAD MONEY COME IN SINCE AUGUST 1ST, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING DAILY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD BILLS COMING IN. AND WE HAD A LOT OF MONEY THAT WAS NOT ENCUMBERED WITH P.O.S AND REQUISITIONS.

AND THEY CAME AND SAID, CHECK REQUEST, WHICH ACTUALLY IS -- MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AND THEN AS A PAYROLL CAME IN AND SUMMER SCHOOL EXTRA DUTY PAY, I HAVE DECIDED THAT THE 3.5 WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE TOO GENEROUS.

SO I HAVE REDUCED THAT. NOW, SPECIFICALLY, AS FOR FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS, WHICH MEANS AS I SAID, OVER THE TWO-YEAR SPAN, THEY HAVE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS HAS SPENT $11 BILLION IN FACILITIES REPAIRS.

SO THAT IS THE INTENTION OF A 651.

IT IS FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS REPAIRS.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: A RECALL, MR. GARRISON MENTIONING THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE AROUND $4 MILLION DEFICIT.

DID THAT NEVER CHANGE? >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: I BELIEVE THAT HE MADE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO REFLECT THAT.

BUT AS I TALK ABOUT IN THE AUGUST WORKSHOP, BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF TEACHER VACANCIES AND OTHER VACANCIES THAT OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THERE IS A PREDICTION OF ABOUT AN $8 MILLION SURPLUS OF FUNDS OVERALL.

NOW, WE ARE LEAVING BALANCES. MY FINANCIAL REPORT, WHICH WAS PROVIDED, IS I BELIEVE THE FULL REPORT IN XL AS OF 8/22/23.

AND IT SHOWS THE BALANCES IN EACH FUNCTION.

AND THEY ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN.

AND THAT WAS PROVIDED FOR YOU. IT IS PART OF THE FINANCIAL

REPORTS. >> MARION HAMILTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DR. PERERA?

>> KATRISE PERERA: JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, TRUSTEE CLEWIS, BACK TO THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS PIECE, I THINK YOU ASKED THE QUESTION ALONG THE LINES, WHAT COULD THAT BE UTILIZED FOR AND WHAT? DID YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION?

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: I DON'T RECALL, BUT GO AHEAD.

>> KATRISE PERERA: THE REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION IS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF THAT THOSE MONIES COULD BE UTILIZED FOR THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS.

IT CAN BE. WE LEFT IT IN FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS BECAUSE, I MEAN, THAT IS AN OPERATION AS WELL.

THEY DO MAJOR PROJECTS, NO ONE ELSE -- OTHER THAN TECHNOLOGY. BUT IT IS NOT AS EXTENSIVE AS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS. SO IF THIS BOARD SEWS CHOOSE TO DESIGNATE TO THE DOLLARS FOR THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION.

I HOPE THAT HELPS. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: IT DOES.

BUT I THINK MY POINT IS THAT I DON'T WANT ARTS IN ROTC TO BE FORGOTTEN. 652 EQUIPMENT FINE ARTS AND ATHLETICS. IN MY GOOD MAN, 651 IS PROBABLY FOR THE TURF. SO DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND ATHLETICS UNDER THAT SEEM 652 AS OPPOSED TO MAKING THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR ROTC AND

FINE ARTS? >> KATRISE PERERA: ARE YOU ASKING WOULD PUT ADDITIONAL DOLLARS IN THERE? THAT CAN BE DONE IF THE BOARD IS PRIVY TO PUT LIST INTO FUND BALANCE AND MORE INTO THIS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

BUT THE FUNCTION 52 IS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE -- THE SPENDING, THE FUNCTION CODES FOR IT.

600 IS NOT NECESSARILY MADE UP BUT AN ADDITIONAL LINE ITEM.

AND THEN THE 51, 52, 52, 54 ARE ACTUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE AREAS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

[01:00:03]

>> MARION HAMILTON: MACY MOORS. >> CAROLYN MORRIS: I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS BUDGET TO US, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR LINE ITEM. I KNOW THAT THE CODING, I REMEMBER THAT FROM BANKING IS THAT YOU GOT TO IDENTIFY EXACTLY THE FUNDS AND WHAT CODE. I THINK I MENTIONED THAT BACK IN EARLY 2,000 WHEN WE WERE DOING OUR BUDGET, YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING FROM OR GOING BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A LINE ITEM. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND ALSO, I WANT TO SAY THAT BREAKING THIS DOWN TO US GIVE US A CLEAR PICTURE BECAUSE THAT ITEM FOR THE BASEBALL LIVES ON THE AGENDA. AND SO IF WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THAT, WE HAVE TO HEAR FROM YOU TO TELL US POSSIBLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE AND GIVE MONEY FROM.

SO YOU ARE ALLOWING US TO HEAR. THIS IS WHERE OUR, BE UTILIZED WHEN WE GET TO THE PUTT. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO IT YET.

BUT IF WE DID NOT HAVE THIS, AND WITH 52, 53, AND 54, IF THOSE PROJECTS NEED MORE THAN 500,000, TRUST ME, AS A SITTING BOARD MEMBER, WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE MONEY TO PUT IN THERE FOR THEM TO GO BACK TO TAKE THAT AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE NEVER WHEN LACK OF GIVING ANY, ANY PROGRAMS ANY MONEY. IF WE ARE ABOUT KIDS, THE PROGRAMS ARE ABOUT THE KIDS. SO THINK YOU.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. >> MARION HAMILTON: ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS GUYS? >> ONE THING I CANNOT SUPPORT HIS TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF MONEY THAT BECOME A SLUSH FUND.

I KNOW WE NEED IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR ATHLETIC SALES.

BUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS GET A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND LOOK AT THE RANGE THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE A DECISION ON AN AD HOC BASIS. THAT I CAN SUPPORT.

BUT I CANNOT SUPPORT A GIANT SLUSH FUND.

THAT IS ALL. >> MARION HAMILTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE A >> MARION HAMILTON: MISS WHITFIE

LD. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: YOU STATED THAT THERE WERE FUNDS AND I APOLOGIZE.

ME IF I'M WRONG. THERE ARE FUNDS THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR TEACHERS. THERE ARE FUNDS THAT WERE ALLOCATED FOR TEACHERS THAT WAS AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE -- DUE TO

THE TEACHER SHORTAGE. >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: IS, IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR FINANCIAL REPORT, FOR EXAMPLE, IN FUNCTION 11, AS OF 8/22/23, FUNCTION 11 STILL HAS A BALANCE OF $7 MILLION.

SO I'M RECOMMENDING ON MY BUDGET AMENDMENT TO TAKE $3 MILLION OF FUNCTION 11 AND TO MOVE IT INTO A FUND 651.

INSTEAD OF ALLOWING IT TO A ROLE TO BALANCE BECAUSE IF YOU RECALL, WE ARE TRYING NOT TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE FUND BALANCE TO GROW AT SUCH SIGNIFICANT LEVELS AT THIS TIME.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: OKAY. MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE, WITH THOSE FUNDS BEING AVAILABLE AND WE ARE STILL -- WE STILL HAVE OUR TEACHER SHORTAGE, AS IT RELATES TO THE SPECIAL PROJECT FUNDS, I GUESS THIS QUESTION WILL BE FOR SUPERINTENDENT PERERA, THESE FUNDS BE USED FOR THE TEACHERS RAISES VERSUS MAKING THEM WAIT UNTIL ELECTION INSTEAD OF -- BECAUSE WE COULD STILL TRANSFER OF FUNDS INTO 651 IF SO BE FOR THE TURF, THE FACILITIES. HOWEVER, IF THAT MUCH FUNDS WAS AVAILABLE, I GUESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE -- WHY IS IT BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE FACILITIES?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: BECAUSE OF AS OF AUGUST 31ST, THOSE ONES CLOSE. TO GO AWAY.

WE CAN'T TOUCH THEM. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: UNDERSTOOD.

BUT GIVEN WHAT IS STATED, IF WE WERE GOING TO -- COULD THAT NOT HAVE BEEN WORKED INTO THE BUDGET INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM WAIT FOR

ELECTION? >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: THEY COULD NOT THEY COULD NOT. WENT TO BUDGET YEAR, THOSE FUNDS HAVE TO ROLL OVER INTO YOUR FUND BALANCE OR THEY HAVE TO ROLL IN PORTION OF IT CAN BE PULLED OUT AND PUT INTO SPECIAL PROJECTS.

[01:05:03]

WE CANNOT UTILIZE THEM FOR SALARIES.

BUT IF YOU ARE WANTING US TO DO SOMETHING SUCH AS, AGAIN, ONE TIME FUNDING YOU CAN DO. HOWEVER, THESE ARE NOT ALL TEACHER POSITIONS. LET ME BE CLEAR AND CLARIFIED THAT RIGHT AWAY. ALL STAFF, ANY CONTRACTS THAT WE MAY HAVE RENEGOTIATED FOR A LOWER PRICE, WE MAY HAVE HIRED SOMEONE, WE BUDGET FOR WHOMEVER, WHATEVER IS IN THAT POSITION AT THE TIME. IF IT WAS SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN WORKING FOR OVER 20 YEARS, SOMEONE WHO HAD ZERO YEARS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENCE.

ALL. ALL OF THE MONEY ACHIEVEMENT OVER THE COURSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO WHEN THEY NEED, WE MAY FIND ANOTHER WAY IS TO FULFILL IT.

THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

IT IS JUST NOT FUTURE POSITIONS BY NO MEANS IS THIS TEACHER POSITIONS TO ONLY. IT IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS. AND AS FAR AS IT BEING A SLUSH, THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE WOULD SPEND ANY OF THESE DOLLARS WITHOUT BRINGING SOMETHING TO YOU FIRST.

TO APPROVE IT BECAUSE MOST OF THESE PROJECTS THAT I KNOW THAT WE MAY HAVE THAT CAN FALL UNDER THESE CATEGORIES, NONE OF THEM ARE UNDER 50,000. SO I CANNOT PROVE IT IF I WANTED TO. SO WE ARE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A FRIEND SO WE ARE NOT HAVING TO TAKE THESE FUNDS FROM THE FUND BALANCE. THEY ARE MONIES THAT YOU PUT INTO THE FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT THEM ALL.

YOU CAN PUT IT IN SUCH AS A PROJECT FOR JUST AS THIS AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING. YOU TAKE FROM THOSE DOLLARS INTO IT THIS WAY SO WE ARE NOT HAVING TO DO BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

WE ARE ONLY COMING BACK TO YOU TO BRING THOSE ITEMS, OR WHATEVER THEY ARE, FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

THIS IS A SPECIAL FRIEND. IT IS NOT A SLUSH FUND.

WE DON'T HAVE THE OPEN RANGE ON WHATEVER IT IS.

IT IS ITEMS JUST DESIGNATING THOSE.

IF YOU WANT TO ADJUST THOSE DOLLARS, HAPPY TO DO THE.

THIS IS TRULY THE TEMPLATE FOR US TO UTILIZE.

>> MARION HAMILTON: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I WANT CLARIFICATION. >> MARION HAMILTON: MR. JONES?

>> TY JONES: LAST YEAR, WE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR FUNDS GOING IN THE FUND BALANCE FOR THOSE. AND THIS WILL BE SOMETHING SIMILAR IS MY UNDERSTANDING. 600 CODE AND WE WILL TURN THE MOUSE TOWARD THESE FOUR CATEGORIES.

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: AND THESE AMOUNTS ARE MY SUGGESTION BASED ON PAST SPENDING. IT IS CERTAINLY THE PREVIEW OF THE BOARD TO SUGGEST WHATEVER ELSE GO INTO THESE DIFFERENT

FUNDS. >> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT.

AND THE OTHER PART IS YOU CAN GO TO THE SLIDE ONE OR TWO.

RIGHT HERE. WITH THE FUNCTION CODES, 51, 52.

AND ON HERE, WE HAVE EXPENDITURES, 51'S PLANNED MAINTENANCE WHICH ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS OPERATING.

THE OPERATION. AND THEN THOSE ARE PRETTY MUCH

ALIGNED. >> I WAS TRYING TO ALIGN THEM,

YES. >> TY JONES: SO WHAT WE ARE JUST DOING IS JUST PRETTY MUCH SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR WITH -- AND THAT WAS GOING ANOTHER SPECIAL PROJECT AND MARKETING DOLLARS STRATEGICALLY BASED ON THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE THESE FUNDS GO.

AND 3.5 MILLION GOING INTO THIS. >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: 4.5 TOTAL.

I HAVE REDUCED IT IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS IN WATCHING SPENDING TIME IN. YES, AS WE HAVE LOOKED AT INVOICES THAT HAVE COME IN AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL REPORT THAT I GAVE TO YOU, I WANTED TO LEAVE ENOUGH BALANCES FOR ANYTHING THAT I AM UNAWARE OF BECAUSE THAT IS AS THE NEW CFO, THERE ARE HISTORICAL THINGS THAT COME IN LAST MINUTE.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT COME IN AFTER SEPTEMBER 1ST.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT THE DISTRICT IS OBLIGATED TO PAY, THAT I STILL MAY BE UNAWARE OF IT.

SO I LEAVE BALANCES IN EACH FUNCTION THAT WE WOULD BE SAFE.

BUT THIS IS WHAT I WAS COMFORTABLE MOVING.

>> TY JONES: OKAY. INTO NESTLÉ, ANOTHER APPOINTMENT OF CLARIFICATION, IF THE BOARD CHOSE NOT TO DO THIS, WOULDN'T WE PUT MONEY FROM THE FUND BALANCE AT SOME POINT?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: YES. OF THE BORDER CHOOSES NOT TO REMOVE THE $4.5 MILLION, THEN THE $4.5 MILLION WILL ON MEDICALLY ROLL INTO A FUND BALANCE ON AUGUST 31ST.

>> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

>> MARION HAMILTON: MR. CLEWIS. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION HERE UNDER ACTION ITEM 13, B, WOULD THAT NOT BE

[01:10:04]

THE SAME AS CONSENT AGENDA IT ITEM -- I THINK THAT WAS 12B.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THOSE? BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THEM, THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME? SO CONSENT AGENDA 12B VERSUS

ACTION ITEM 13B. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, IF I MAY, THE ONE THAT IS IN THE CONTENT IS THE INITIAL REPORT THAT WE GIVE YOU GUYS EVERY YEAR, I MEAN, EVERY MONTH.

THOSE ARE THE MONTHLY REPORTS THAT COME OUT TO OF THE BOARD.

THEY MAY LOOK VERY SIMILAR BECAUSE IT IS THE END OF AUGUST AND THAT IS WHEN OUR BUDGET ENDS, WHICH IS WHAT SHE IS GIVING YOU HERE. THEY WILL HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES. AND AGAIN, THEIR FINANCIAL REPORTS THAT YOU GET EVERY MONTH.

>> THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM SHOWS THE BOUNCES.

BUT IT ONLY IS THE GENERAL FUND. WHEREAS THE FINAL BUDGET AMENDMENT HERE INCLUDES CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES.

IT INCLUDES THE DEBT SERVICE FUND WHICH IS WHAT YOU WOULD ADOPT EVERY YEAR. THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

AND IT ALSO INCLUDES THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WHICH ALSO INCLUDES $200,000 BEING MOVED TO A 71.

AND I BELIEVE THERE'S MANY ALSO MOVE TO FUNCTION 36.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: JUST, I GUESS, THIS DOCUMENT THAT IS HERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CONSENT AGENDA WILL.

SO MAYBE THIS PARTICULAR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UNDER CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE THIS SAME DOCUMENT HERE IS UNDER, THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL ALSO ADDRESS YEAR IN 13B.

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE, SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN. IT IS A FINANCIAL REPORT.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: SO WE DO HAVE THE ITEMS UNDER CONSENT, PRODUCE AND WHO IS ALSO AN, ATTACHMENT UNDER ATTACHMENT UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA. SO IF THE MOTION IS TO BE MADE UNDER 13B WITH THE EXCLUSION OF THE $4.5 MILLION, DO WE STILL GO BACK TO THE CONSENT AGENDA TO EITHER APPROVE OR NOT APPROVE OF

IT THERE, THE 4.5 MILLION? >> MY SUGGESTION MIGHT BE TO --

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: WHEN WE, I WILL BE HAPPY TO UPDATE THE

FINANCIAL REPORT. >> SO EXCLUDING THE AMENDMENTS HERE AS WELL AS ANY DEBT SERVICES, CHILD NUTRITION, GENERAL FUND INFORMATION SHOULD BE VERY MUCH THE SAME IN AN UPDATE ON THIS. BRUCE WOODBURY CLEWIS IS THAT FUN 600 AS WELL AS THE LEAGUE SERVICES AND CHILD NUTRITION.

THE GENERAL FUNDS YOU ARE USUALLY GIVEN TO A EVERY MONTH THE FINAL IN AUGUST AND THE FINAL GENERAL WILL BE THE SAME PRETTY MUCH AND SHE CAN UPLOAD THAT BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS ONE I'M GOING TO STOP TALKING BECAUSE IT IS UP TO THE BOARD.

>> MARION HAMILTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.

>> JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, SO 13B VERSUS 12B.

4.5 MILLION, IS THAT GOING TO BE VOTED ON HERE OR IS THAT VOTED

ON UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> IT WILL GO UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA. YOU CAN PULL THAT ITEM AND

DISCUSS. >> SO WE ARE PULLING 13B OR 12?

>> KATRISE PERERA: 13B. >> OKAY.

ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> SO WE'RE GOING TO PULL THE CONSENT AGENDA 12B AND 13A WE ARE VOTING ON FOR OUR MOSQUITOES

EXCUSE ME, 13B WE ARE VOTING ON? >> DARYLE CLEWIS: SO IF I CAN

MAKE A MOTION. >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: I HAVE ONE

MORE CLARIFICATION BEFORE WE >> MARION HAMILTON: MS. WHITFIEL

D. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: MS. CHEEKS, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION AND BEING VERY TRANSPARENT. HE ITEMS THAT IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE SCREEN WHERE THE 600 SCREEN.

THIS IS MERELY JUST A BREAKDOWN OF FUNDS.

THERE IS NOW GUARANTEED TO WORK WITH THESE FUNDS WOULD BE --

[01:15:04]

WELL, AS FAR AS SPECIFICS ON HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT OR THE ALLOCATION OF THE FUNDS. SO IF THIS WAS NOT LET'S SAY HYPOTHETICALLY, IT WAS NOT TO PASS FOR ANY REASON, THIS -- I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS VERY CLEAR, THAT THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO LOOK FORWARD IN -- YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY, GETTING A TURF OR RECEIVING CONTRACTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU. THIS IS MORE OF AN IDENTIFICATION PER DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS FUNDS, I GUESS FUNDS, PROJECTS, CORRECT? OR NO COMMENTS?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO MOVE THE MONEY INTO THESE FOUR FUNDS, THE MONEY WILL MOVE AUTOMATICALLY TO THE

FUND BALANCE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: WE ARE STILL ABLE TO RECEIVE CONTRACTS AND/OR I'M SORRY, OFFERS FOR

SERVICES SUCH AS THE BASEBALL -- >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: NOT WITH

THIS MORNING. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: BUT WE DO HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO THE STATE -- STILL TAKE CARE OF THAT? CORRECT?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: NOT IN THE CURRENT BUDGET.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: BUT SHE JUST SAID THE FUND BALANCE.

>> KATRISE PERERA: YES, THIS MORNING WILL AUTOMATICALLY ROLL INTO FUND BALANCE COMING SEPTEMBER 1, IF YOU DO NOT USED TO KEEP IT IN A SPECIAL PROJECT. YOU WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE FUND BALANCE AND PULL IT OVER. THIS JUST LEAVES IT OUT OF FUND BALANCE. IT DOES NOT DISCOUNT US NOT BRINGING ANY CONTRACTS FORWARD TO YOU ALL.

THIS IS TRULY, AGAIN, KNOWING THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ON THE HORIZON, THIS WAS TRULY JUST A BUNCH OF IT IS JUST THAT.

IT IS AN ESTIMATE, GUYS. WITH HIS.

THERE'S NO 100% ACTUALS HERE OTHER THAN THE BOTTOM AND A NUMBER. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CHANGE THAT IF YOU LIKE AS A BOARD. IT IS SIMPLE TO ME.

IT IS THE FACILITIES. WE KNOW WE HAVE A BASEBALL, SOFTBALL FIELD. RECOMMENDATION.

REPORT THOSE MONIES IN THERE. IF THERE'S A VOTE, THEN WE UTILIZE THOSE MORNING. WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME EQUIPMENT AND SOME FINE ARTS THINGS THAT WE NEED.

WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME THINGS WITH THE JROTC.

ESTIMATED AMOUNT, WE PUT THE AMOUNT IN THERE.

TECHNOLOGY, SAME THING. IT IS AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT.

TRANSPORTATION, AGAIN, KNOWING THE THINGS THAT WE NEED, ESTIMATED AMOUNT. THAT IS IT.

ANYTHING THAT IS IN THERE, I CAN ALREADY TELL YOU NOTHING THAT IS ON THE HORIZON THAT WE KNOW OF THESE THINGS ARE HONEST AND $50,000. I WOULD NOT BE PROVING ANY OF THOSE. I BROUGHT YOU EVERY CONTRACT AND WAIT. WE HAVE ALMOST 400 CONTRACTS IN THIS DISTRICT. THE DIFFERENT THINGS, I WOULD NOT EXERCISE OR AUTHORIZE A CONTRACT MOVEMENT, AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST HYPOTHETICALS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES TO SAY THAT. IT IS A HYPOTHETICAL.

THE BOTTOM NUMBER IS THAT, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE MORE THAN THAT.

WE ARE ONLY ASKING TO PUT THIS IN SPECIAL FUNDS.

OTHER WORDS, IT GOES AUTOMATICALLY TO YOUR FUND BALANCE.

>> MARION HAMILTON: MATT MORS. >> CAROLYN MORRIS: IF WE DON'T, WE ARE GOING TO ACTION ITEMS. THIS IS THE ITEM THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON. WHEN WE GET TO CONSIDER A DAY TO WE CAN PULL B. ALL OF THESE ARE PROJECTED.

THIS IS A BUDGET. MONEY -- MONIES ARE MOVED ALL

THE TIME. >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: AND THE CONSENT AGENDA, IT IS A REPORT. BUT I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT IS

THE CORRECT ATTACHMENT. >> CAROLYN MORRIS: I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE THE BOARD ON THIS TONIGHT THIS QUICK. EXCUSE ME.

GO AHEAD. >> THANK YOU.

WE NEED TO MOVE ON. WE HAVE BEEN ON THIS ITEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WE ARE REPLICATING THE SAME INFORMATION REPEATEDLY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? HEARING NONE, THANK YOU, DR. CHEEK. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE A MOTION. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE FINAL AMENDED 2022/2023 LANCASTER ISD BUDGET.

IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> MARION HAMILTON: A SECOND BY MS. MORRIS.

ANY DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD? HEARING NONE, I WILL CALL FOR FR THEIR.

MYSELF VOTING YES, THE MOTION PASSED.

THANK YOU TO YOU GUYS. NOW WE'RE GOING ON TO NEXT ACTION ITEM. AND I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND

[13.E. Recommendation of Turf Installation at LHS Baseball & Softball Fields (G2 & G3) - Roger Oster, Presenter]

MOVE SINCE THAT ITEM TOOK SO LONG, IT IS ALMOST AN HOUR.

I'M. I'M GOING TO DO THE MOVE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE WAITING FOR. RECOMMENDATION OF TURF INSTALLATION AT LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS. MR. ORSER.

I'M SORRY. I SKIPPED YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT OF YOUR EMPLOYEE. I'M SORRY.

[01:20:03]

>> ROGER OSTER: GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TO PRESENT OUR RECOMMENDATION OF TURF INSTALLATION AT THE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS. AS YOU ALL KNOW YOU ALL KNOW,, E HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH REVIEWING ALL FACILITIES WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. THAT INCLUDES OUR CAMPUSES, OUR ATHLETIC FACILITIES, THAT OUR STUDENTS UTILIZE DAILY.

MY TEAM AND I HAVE WORKED WITH OUR ATHLETIC COACHES TO REVIEW SEVERAL AREAS IN OUR ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT AND A BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT AREA OF CONCERN FOR OUR COACHES, STUDENTS AND PARENTS IN THE PROGRAM.

AS YOU KNOW, TO ESTABLISH A CAPITAL OUTLOOK COMMITTEE LAST SPRING. THE COMMITTEE TO READ OUR FACILITIES THIS SUMMER INCLUDING THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS AND SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FIELDS.

WITH THE COMMITTEE'S SUPPORT, I CCOME TO YOU TO THE ADDRESS THE NEED TO RENOVATE BOTH FIELDS. THE PERMIT ISSUED ON BOTH FIELDS IS THE GROUND IS SEVERELY UNLEVEL THROUGHOUT THE INFIELD AND OUTFIELD. IT HAS SIGNIFICANT DRAINAGE ISSUES. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE CONDITIONS OF OUR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS WHEN I FIRST MET WITH COACH GARNER AND COACH HAMILTON EARLY LAST SUMMER.

DUE TO THE STATE OF BOTH FIELDS, OUR STUDENTS CANNOT PRACTICE OR PLAY GAMES ON THERE IS BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE.

FURTHERMORE, TEAMS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT REFUSED TO PLAY ON THESE FIELDS BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS FOR THE STUDENT ATHLETES. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR, TO A STATE THAT AT THIS TIME AT LANCASTER ISD, WE ARE UNABLE TO HOLD PRACTICE OR GAMES ON OUR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS DUE TO THE CONDITIONS OF OUR FIELDS. AIRFIELD CONDITIONS IMPACT OUR STUDENTS' RPTT TO HAVE WELL-ROUNDED ATHLETIC EXPERIENCE IN SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL. ALSO SHOWS A NEED FOR MORE EQUITY WHEN COMPARING FOOTBALL, VOLLEYBALL, SOCCER, AND TRACK PLAYING SURFACES. ATTACH AND THE BOARD NOTES I HAVE THREE LETTERS FROM THE HEAD BASEBALL COACHES, FROM CRADLE, CHRIS MCKINNON, RED OAK, WHO HAVE REFUSED TO RISK THE SAFETY OF THEIR STUDENT ATHLETES TO PLAY ON AIRFIELD.

HERE'S EQUIPMENT FROM HE TOLD THREE, THE HEAD BASEBALL COACH OF COURSE CANNOT. HE WRITES, PLEASE CONSIDER WORKING ON HIS CONDITION SO THAT YOUR STUDENT ATHLETES CAN HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO PRACTICE. THAT THEY CAN BE PROUD OF AS WELL SO THAT WHEN VISITING TEAMS COME TO LANCASTER, TO PLAY, AGAIN, WE CAN ALL NOT WORRY ABOUT OUR ATHLETES BEING INJURED. I PLAYED IN LANCASTER IN THE EARLY 90S MAKE AGAINST YOU ALL AND TOOK TREMENDOUS PRIDE IN YOUR FACILITIES. IT IS ONE OF THE NICEST PLAYING FIELDS IN TEXAS. END A QUOTE.

SINCE THESE CONDITIONS OF THE FIELD ARE NOT SAFE FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO COMPETE ON, STUDENTS HAVE HAD TO FORGO HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE FOR PREPOSITIONS AND TRAVEL AWAY FROM ALL GAMES TO HAVE A SEASON. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL COST FOR $800 FOR FOOD AND TRAVEL FOR FRESHMEN, VARSITY, BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL. ONE MIGHT ASK, HOW DID WE GET HERE? ALTHOUGH I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR WHAT I INHERITED FROM WHEN I STARTED THIS LAST SPRING, IT IS CLEAR THAT REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON EITHER FIELD SINCE THE INSULATION IN 2004.

ONCE ARRIVED, MY TEAM DID AS MUCH AS WE COULD TO TRY TO LEVEL THE FIELDS OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

THE DRAINAGE WAS SO POOR, EFFORTS WERE LITERALLY WASHED AWAY. MY TEAM AND I HAVE WORK TO RESEARCH THE DISTRICT FEELS AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, AT LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL IS THE ONLY SCHOOL THAT I HAVE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE UTILIZED DUE TO INNOVATION NEEDS. FURTHERMORE, OUR TEAMS ARE THE ONLY TEAMS THAT MUST PLAY A WAVE PLAY A WAVE A WAVE OF ALL GAMES DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ALL STUDENTS IN ARIZONA DISTRICT.

THEY SOLICITED SIX QUOTES. WITHOUT HAVING THE REPORTS AVAILABLE. OF THE FIRST PROPOSAL RANGE FROM 1.6 MILLION TO 3 MILLION. AFTER RECEIVING AND SHARING OUR GEOTECHNICAL REPORT, FIVE OF THE SIX VENDORS REPLIED WITH UPDATED QUOTE. PARAGON SPORTS HAD THE BEST PROPOSAL AND SEVERAL SATISFIED REFERENCES INCLUDING THE TEXAS RANGERS. THERE WILL BE AN EIGHT YEAR WARRANTY WITH BOTH FIELDS. THEY WILL INCLUDE, OF COURSE, IN COLLABORATION WITH MARTY AND OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, A

[01:25:01]

WELL-ESTABLISHED MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT THE FIELDS ARE MAINTAINED AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE UTILIZATION OF.

I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME REVIEWING LAYOUTS AND DESIGNS TO GET US BACK TO HAVE ONE OF THE NICEST PLAYING SURFACES IN TEXAS. THIS WILL ALLOW OUR STUDENTS NOT ONLY TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING PLACE TO COMPETE ON, IT WILL BRING STUDENT ATHLETES INTO OUR DISTRICT AND MORE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE. THE FIELDS WILL ALSO BE REQUESTED FOR GERMANS TO GENERATING REVENUE.

WE HAVE RESEARCHED DISTRICTS THAT HOST TOURNAMENTS AND FOUND THAT ONE FIELD CAN GENERATE UP TO $1,200 PER GAME DURING THE SEASON. AND THE OFF SEASON OF BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FACILITIES OFFER REVENUE POTENTIAL OF 4200 PER DAY. THROWING TREATMENTS FOR PRIVATE LEAGUE AND COLLEGES. CURRENTLY DARK AND REALIZED HE IS THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH A TURF BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD SOUTHWEST SCHOOL DISTRICT'S.

WITH THE FULL SUPPORT OF WEBO NATION, THE DISTRICT RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDS BOARD APPROVAL OF TURF INSTALLATION AT LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $3 MILLION. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I HAVE A QUESTION.

>> MARION HAMILTON: MR. SMITH. >> KENDALL SMITH: THANK-YOU ALWAYS. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

COULD YOU ELABORATE ON THE DRAINAGE ISSUES? ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR ON HOW THEY COULD ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS UNDER THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT.

>> ROGER OSTER: I HEARD ONE OF THE SOFTBALL STUDENT SAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP LEFT THERE, OUR FIELD IS THE SOFTBALL FIELD.

YOU SEE THE DARK SPOT AROUND THERE.

WHENEVER IT RAINS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF RUNOFF COMING OFF OF THAT CONCRETE SLAB THERE. IT COMES RIGHT IN BETWEEN HOMEPLACE AND IT RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE INFIELD, THE BACK OF THE INFIELD AND A LOT OF THE DIRT WASHES AWAY.

I GO BACK TO THIS PICTURE HERE. RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER, IN THE MIDDLE. YOU CAN HARDLY SEE RIGHT HERE.

YOU HAVE TO REALLY BE THERE WALKING ON IT.

IS, BASICALLY A SPEED BUMP FROM ALL THE DIRT AND EVERYTHING THAT

HAS WASHED AWAY. >> KENDALL SMITH: SO WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT ADDING DRAINAGE PIPES OR AT EACH CORNER OR ANYTHING? JUST COUNTERING LANDSCAPE?

>> ROGER OSTER: YET, WE CAN DO THAT BUT WE DID THAT LAST YEAR.

WE WENT OUT THERE LAST YEAR AND WE GOT THAT WHOLE HOP OUT OF THE SOFTBALL FIELD GOING TO THE OUTFIELD AND THEN WE RECEDED IT AND THEN WE SALUTE IT. BUT AS SOON AS YOU DO THAT AND IT RAINS, IT JUST WASHES AND BUILDS UP OVER TIME.

>> KENDALL SMITH: OKAY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING AND SHOWING THIS TO US. STRONGLY SUPPORT BOARD MEMBERS TO THROW AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SET UP A MEETING WHERE WE CAN ALL GO OUT AND LOOK AT THIS. IT IS -- THESE PICTURES, NOTHING REALLY TO WHAT I SAW WHEN I WENT OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW,. MY GOD, I'M SORRY FOR OUR STUDENTS. JAIME PEREZ.

I'M IMPRESSED THAT YOU HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF US AND PAID AS TO HELP YOU AND I WROTE DOWN BECAUSE I HEARD A STUDENT SAY, NO PASS, NO PLAY. WELL, HOW DO THE KIDS GET TO PLAY BASEBALL BECAUSE THEY PASS IT.

THEY ARE DOING WELL ACADE ACADEMICALLY.

AND I HEARD SAID. AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

I THINK IT IS NOT A QUESTION WHEN WE ARE ALL AROUND THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS GET EVERY PART OF THEIR EDUCATION, THEIR LAST FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

BE WELL-ROUNDED. THEY WILL BE HEALTHY.

THEY CAN MAKE CHOICES TO COLLEGE.

IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM.

SO I WANT TO ENCOURAGE THIS SPORT TO SUPPORT AND I HAVE NOT TALKED TO MR. MORRIS BEFORE BECAUSE I SAW IT.

I WALKED -- I HAD TO HOLD MY HAND DOWN.

SO FOR THOSE WHO START QUESTIONS WHERE YOU PUT THE MONEY,L OF TH.

[01:30:02]

AND SEE IF YOU FALL. THANK YOU.

>> MARION HAMILTON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

MR. CLEWIS? >> DARYLE CLEWIS: I HEARD THE SAFETY. AND I KEEP HEARING EMBARRASSED.

BUT IT IS ALL COMING TO FRUITION.

WELL, LET ME REPHRASE IT. AS I HAVE SAID AT THE MEETINGS, IT DAWNED ON ME ONE DAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHY IS THIS BEING PUSHED AHEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE? AS I SAID THE OTHER DAY, MY THOUGHT OF WHAT THIS CAPITAL OUTLAY WAS TO BE ABOUT WAS TO TAKE A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER, UNDERSTAND THE DISTRICT'S NEEDS. AND I THINK THAT IS THE.

SO THAT YOU EITHER DON'T WANT TO SEE THINK IT IS THERE.

WE HAVE A FUND BALANCE THAT HAS SOME MONEY AND IT NEEDS TO BE SPENT. IS NOT THE ONLY NEED.

BUT THE WAY WE DO THINGS IS WHAT IS DISTRACTING ME HERE.

FOR THE MEETING WAS BASED ON THE NEEDS SHORT-TERM OR PARTICULARLY LONG TERM OF THE DISTRICT NOT TO JUST SAY HE HOW CAN WE SPEND $3 MILLION. YOU ARE IMBURSE.

THE SAFETY. RECORD WERE THOSE CONCERNS TWO

TO THREE YEARS AGO? >> I WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

THE FACT THAT I WAS SITTING HERE TWO YEARS AGO.

I WOULD DEFINITELY DIFFERENT. THIEVES HAVE NOT BEEN CONDITIONED PROPERLY. THEY HAVE BEEN PATCHING AT THEM.

BUT EVERYTHING DOES NOT MAKE IT TO THE BOARD SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WHEN IT IS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE UGLY COMMITTEE THAT WAS FORMED WAS TO ADDRESS CONCERNS AND DEFINITELY AS WELL AS PARENTS ABOUT SOME OF THE CONDITIONS OF OUR ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

AND THIS IS BAD. SHE IS EMBARRASSED THAT HE HAS TO COME BEFORE US LOOKING AT THE PICTURES.

THIS IS THE FIELD I HAVE VISITED BUT I HAVE NOT WALKED IN THE FIELD. IT TAKES THE PLACE TO TELL US WHAT CONDITION THE FIELD IS IN. AND IT IS A HUGE LIABILITY TO SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS HAVING VISITORS HERE.

THINK ABOUT THE LAWSUITS BASED ON SAFETY CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE. SO I FEEL LIKE IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND WE ARE SITTING HERE WITH DR. PERERA AND HER TEAM AND WE HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT BECAUSE THIS COULD BE YOUR KID, ANYBODY'S KID OUT THERE AND THESE ARE OUR EMPLOYEES AND WE NEED THEM AT WORK EVERYDAY BECAUSE OUR KIDS, THEY ARE NOT BENEFITING.

SO MYSELF ALSO, I ENCOURAGE THIS BOARD TO DO TO WHERE THE TEAM AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY AND IF WE HAVE THE FUNDS.

WE NEED TO DEFINITELY GET IT TAKEN CARE OF.

WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE WE ARE SAYING WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. MR. CLEWIS?

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: I TAKE I HEARD YOU SAY WE HAVE MONEY.

ROTC, FINE ARTS, BRING IT TO US. WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR YOU.

THAT IS IT. >> ANY OF THE COMMENTS? MR. SMITH, GO AHEAD AND I WILL COME BACK.

>> KENDALL SMITH: I JUST WANT TO PAINTING PICTURE.

TIME TO ASK THIS GENUINE RELEVANT QUESTIONS SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. I WANT TO MAKE MENTION THAT WE CROSSED THE ASSEMBLY WHICH YEAR AGO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT REPLACING AC UNITS AND AT THE TIME, WE HAD TO MOVE A BUNCH OF MONEY TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS. AND THAT WAS THE RESULT OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOOK PLACE. I THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AS WE ARE SITTING HERE, 140 DEGREES AT 8:00 AT NIGHT.

WE NEEDED IT. WE NEED IT.

AND I ONLY SAID THAT TO SAY, I SEE THE SAME HERE AND TO MY BROTHER, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. I SEE THIS AS A NEED.

I REALLY DO. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. AND WITH YOU.

I WAS NOT AWARE. I HAVE NOT WALKED THE FIELD.

I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE. AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU GREAT GUYS AND LADIES THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT, THIS IS A SERIOUS FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, WE ARE TRYING TO BE PRUDENT ABOUT OUR BUSINESS. WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WEEKEND TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. AND IN THE BEST POSSIBLE MANNER.

THAT IS IT. >> MARION HAMILTON: MR. JONES, YOU HAD SOMETHING? OKAY.

GO AHEAD. >> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT.

ON THE BASE OF THE INFORMATION YOU PRESENTED ON THE SLIDE, FIVE VOTES. AND THERE WAS ONE WHICH WAS LESS THAN THE ONE THAT YOU ARE RECOMMENDING.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US WHILE WE ARE GOING THAT ROUTE?

>> SIX QUOTES. WHEN IT CAME IN.

[01:35:02]

THE TRPS -- ABOUT HALF THE PLACE.

YOU KNOW? AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK, THEIR SECOND PROPOSAL, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DID NOT TAKE IN THE STABILIZATION REPORT THAT WAS GIVEN BY OUR GEOTECH ENGINEER AND THAT IS QUITE CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LAY DOWN THE FIELD IN THE, YOU KNOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, START ACTING, START BY CLEANING AND HITTING GOALS IN IT.

AND IT ALSO LOOKED MORE LIKE A LANDSCAPE TO PROJECT.

PLAYGROUNDS AND STUFF. >> TY JONES: OKAY.

AND I GUESS THE NEXT FILTER USA THERE, $300,000 LEFT.

>> ROGER OSTER: YES, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THEIR OPTIONS.

ONE OF THEIR ALTERNATES WAS TO BE A VERTICAL WALL STABILIZATION BASICALLY WHERE THEY PUT SOCIAL WORKER THEY SEPARATED THE WHOLE FIELD, THE BUILD OR TAKE A TRENCH, PAY IT, LAY SOME TOPPING DOWN OR CERTAIN TYPE OF TARGET THAT THEY LAY DOWN AND SUPPOSEDLY IT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN LARGE AGAIN, SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT AND THEY DON'T OF THAT. FILTER USA CAME BACK AND SAID, OUR ENGINEER WILL APPROVE THAT AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THE COURSE. WE TOOK THE CORE SAMPLE FROM THE SCOREBOARD. THE PAPER -- PREFERRED VENDOR ACROSS MANY DISTRICTS. TRUST THOSE ENGINEERS THERE.

>> TY JONES: MY LAST MISSION PERTAINS TO THE BATTING CAGES.

HOW WILL THE BATTING CAGES BE ADDRESSED?

THIS IS MORE SO THE TURF. >> ROGER OSTER: RIGHT NOW, THE COACHES HAVE DONE THE OCHO -- THEIR BEST JOB KEEPING THE GRASS OUT OF THE BATTING CAGES. THEY HAVE LAID DOWN THE TRACK FROM THE TRACK BEING REPLACED AND TO FROM OTHER PEERS BE REPLACED INSIDE THOSE BATTING CAGES AND THEY HAVE DONE THE BEST THEY COULD FOR THEIR TEAM AND I KNOW THEY HAD PARENT SUPPORT AND HELP OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, LENTZ-PIEFFER, THOSE FIELDS WERE PROBABLY GREAT BEING GRASS FIELDS. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER TO MAINTAIN THOSE FIELDS RIGHT NOW AND TO KEEP THEM UP TO THE HEAD WITH WHAT THEY SHOULD BE. WE DON'T HAVE THE IRRIGATION

HEATER. >> TY JONES: ARE THERE ANY OTHER NEEDS, IF STUFF WAS HAYLEY DUNNE, HAS IT BEEN ADDRESSED

ALREADY? >> ROGER OSTER: THAT WILL BE

ADDRESSED. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, I WILL MAKE MY FINAL COMMENT.

AND NO THE TIMING MAY NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS ADEQUATE.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS BEING ON THAT, JUST BEING PRESENT FOR THE COMMITTEE, WHICH. LONGEST TIME, TO THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS ON THE FIRST VISIT OUT THERE.

AND IF WE WERE TO DO SOMETHING THIS YEAR, YOU CAN'T INTERRUPT THEIR SEASON, WHICH IS WHY THIS TIMING, AGAIN, IT IS THE BOARD'S WHICH DIRECTION YOU GO. ONLY PRESENTED IT BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD THE FUNDS AS WELL AS PREPARED FOR THEIR SEASON AND AS MANY SENIORS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SENIORS WE HAD ON SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL WHO HAVE BEEN PLAYING ON SUBPAR FIELDS.

I THINK IN MY OPINION, YOU DESERVE TO HAVE A FIELD FOR YOUR

SENIOR YEAR. >> MARION HAMILTON: THANK YOU, DR. PERERA. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE TIES? MATT WHITFIELD, AND CAN YOU TALK

INTO YOUR MIC, PLEASE? >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: YOU MENTIONED THAT THE FACILITY COULD ALSO BE USED OUT DUE TO -- FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES. DID YOU HAPPEN TO DO A PROJECTION OF AN OUR WIND BASED ON -- I MEAN, ANY REQUESTS OR -- WHAT FACILITIES ARE DOING TURNER STREET?

>> ROGER OSTER: IS. DR. CHEEK REACHED OUT AND WE ALSO GOT SOME NUMBERS FROM SOME OTHER AREAS.

WE WENT OVER THE PRESENTATION HERE THAT ON ONE SECOND HERE.

>> INNING WILL OF TIME, HE WENT THROUGH SOME PROJECTED ELEMENTS.

I RECALL 4280. THERE WERE SOME NUMBERS THAT WERE PRESENTED DURING THE VISITATION.

>> ROGER OSTER: YEAH, DURING THE SEASON, AND DURING OFF-SEASON,

4200 A DAY. >> THANK YOU.

[01:40:05]

THANK-YOU. BOARD, IS THERE A MOTION?

>> I HAVE A MOTION RECOMMENDATION OF INSULATION.

BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD. >> SECOND.

>> I HAVE A MOTION BY MS. MORRIS TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION AT MAYOR CASTOR HIGH HER HIGH SCHOOL.

A SECOND BY MR. SMITH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I WILL CALL, I WILL CALL FOR THE VOTE TO.

YOUR DIRECTION. MS. REDFIELD?

>> I UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M ASKING TO AND COME BACK WELCOME BACK

TO. >> ASK A QUESTION BEEN TREMENDOUS, A MOTION ON THE FORBORT.

>> IN MY WORK CAPACITY, I HAVE DONE A QUOTE.

, TO A QUOTE FOR BEING OUTSIDE OF LANCASTER.

CAN I VOTE IN THE SITUATION. OKAY, SO I CAN VOTE? OKAY, MY VOTE IS YES.

>> MARION HAMILTON: THE MOTION PASSES.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL PLAYERS.

CONGRATULATIONS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW FIELD.

I FLEW IN ON THE AIRPLANE AND ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY WHAT I CAN IDENTIFY FROM THE AIR. SO DEFINITELY WHEN I FLEW UP, I CAN DEFINITELY IDENTIFY YOUR COWBOYS.

AND ARE OFTEN LOOK TO SEE IF I SEE IF I COULD SEE HER FOOTBALL STADIUM WHEN I'M FLYING OVER. SO I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THIS FIELD WHEN I COME IN WHEN IT IS COMPLETED.

I'M EXCITED, AND I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THE NEW FIELD.

THE NEXT ITEM. I WILL BE DISMISSING MYSELF, AND IT. I HAVE A PRIOR COMMITMENT.

HAVE TO LEAVE. MR. JONES WILL BE TAKING OVER FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING. YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

GOING TO TAKE A FIV

>> TY JONES: WE ARE ABOUT TO GET STARTED.

WE ARE ABOUT TO RECONVENE. TAKE YOUR SEATS, PLEASE.

THE TIME IS NOW 8:20 P.M.

THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, WE ARE GOING TO GO A WIDTH, IS GOING TO BE CONSIDERING THE APPROVAL OF GRANTING THE AUTHORITY TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SUBMIT THE ATTENDANCE CREDIT AGREEMENT FOR CHAPTER 48 RECAPTURE SELECTION.

[13.C. Consider the approval of granting the authority to the Superintendent to submit the Attendance Credit Agreement for Chapter 48 Recapture Selection. (G2) - Dr. Faith Ann Cheek, Presenter]

AND THAT FOR TOSHIBA, THAT IS GOING TO BE 13C ON OUR AGENDA.

I KNOW WE ARE GOING IN A DIFFERENT ORDER RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU. PARA.

>> KATRISE PERERA: THANK YOU, JOSIE JONES.

DR. CHEEK TO PRESENT THAT INFORMATION TO OUR BOARD AND OUR COMMUNITY. CONTROLS TRUSTEES AND DR.

DR. PERERA, THIS ITEM -- >> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: TRUSTEES AND DR. PERERA. THIS ITEM IS A NECESSITY DUE TO OUR DISTRICT BEING IDENTIFIED AS POSSIBLY SUBJECT TO THE RECAPTURE. I DO WANT TO BRING BACK THAT WORD POSSIBLY. WE WILL NOT KNOW UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR AS WE NURTURE AND HEADED AS I TOLD YOU MONDAY NIGHT. WE ARE EXTREMELY POSITIVE ABOUT OUR INQUIRIES AND ROMAN. SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT. BUT AS IN JULY, WE WERE IDENTIFIED BY T.E.A. AS THAT BEING A POSSIBILITY.

IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WE SUBMIT ELECTRONICALLY A CONTRACT VIA THE FSP SYSTEM, WHICH IS A PART OF T.O.

AND THIS CONTRACT THAT IS ELECTRONIC REQUIRES BOARD MINUTES TO BE UPLOADED WITH IT. AND THE BOARD MINUTES MUST HAVE LANGUAGE WHICH I HAVE PUT IN THE EMOTION THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU.

[01:45:01]

I ALSO PRINTED A SCREEN COPY OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTRACT THAT GETS SUBMITTED. YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT IN FRONT OF YOU. AGAIN, THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF ALL DISTRICTS AND IT REQUIRES AN ACTION ITEM IN ORDER TO HAVE THE BOARD ME MINUTES BE REFLECTED. IT IS DUE BY SEPTEMBER 1ST AND MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLY BY THE SUPERINTENDENT.

EVEN I CANNOT SUBMIT IT FOR HER. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU, DR. CHEEK.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ON THIS ITEM?

TRUSTEES -- TRUSTEE STEPHENSON? >> GREGORY STEPHENSON: CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW EXACTLY HOW THIS WORKS?

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: THE CONTRACT?

>> GREGORY STEPHENSON: NO, THE PURCHASE FOR --

>> FAITH-ANN CHEEK: THE PURCHASE FOR THE ATTENDANCE CREDIT.

WE WILL MONITOR ATTENDANCE BASICALLY AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY -- THE ATTENDANCE CREDIT OCCURS IN TIER 2.

AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND THEN TAKE BACK AS THEY WATCH OUR ATTENDANCE. AND IN THE FSP FORMULA, THEY WILL CREDIT BACK AND TAKE THE PAYMENT THAT WAY.

AND IT IS THE OPTION THAT WE CHOSE.

IT IS OPTION THREE. IT IS PRETTY MUCH THAT 99% OF ALL DISTRICTS CHOOSE THAT OP OPTION.

THE OTHER OPTIONS ARE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANOTHER DISTRICT. COLLAPSE IN YOUR DISTRICT.

I'M TRYING TO THINK, HE CAN PROBABLY EXPLAIN IT BETTER.

>> THIS GOES BACK -- >> YIMMI INTERRUPT YOU.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE SPEAKING ABOUT THE EXACT SPECIFICS.

SO LET ME -- MAY I? >> I EXPLAIN THAT IF YOU WANT THE PRECISE MONETARY FORMULAS. UNDER T.E.A., UNDER T.E.A.

GUIDELINES, GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF STATE AID THEY PAY PER STUDENT IN A STATE OF ATTENDANCE, YOU ARE A WEALTHY DISTRICT UNDER TIER 2 OF THE SCHOOL FINANCE SYSTEM.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU GENERATE MORE MONEY FROM YOUR LOCAL TAX BASE THAN THE STATE PAYS FOR THE NINE COPPER PENNIES IN TIER 2.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU HAVE SOME OPTIONS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T EXERCISE THE OPTION TO YOU CAN'T LEVY A TAX.

THAT IS THE PROHIBITION. THE WAY YOU DO THAT MATHEMATICALLY IS THE STATE ASSIGNS PHANTOM STUDENTS TO YOU IN AN EFFORT TO ABSORB AND MAKE YOU POOR BASICALLY.

MAKE YOU ESSENTIALLY PAY FOR THE EDUCATION OF THESE PHANTOM STUDENTS SO YOU CAN SEND MONEY. YOU HAVE TO CONSENT TO THE BECAUSE THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT SAID WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT THAT IT WAS PROPERTY TAX. SO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT US UNDERWAY'S THE STATE IS GOING TO TAKE PROPERTY AWAY FROM YOU PERMANENTLY IN TERMS OF WHAT IS OUT THERE.

NO, IN THE CASE OF YOUR DISTRICT, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ACROSS YOUR -- YOU ARE OUT OF SYNC FOR -- YOU ARE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO IN TIER 2, IT IS BASICALLY THE COPPER PENNIES. THEY WILL ALLOW YOU AS YOU CONSENT TO IT TO PAY THE STATE THOSE COPPER PENNIES OUT OF THE EXCESS REVENUES THAT YOU COLLECT IN 21 BECAUSE IT CAN BE RICH AND NOT HAVE TO PAY RECAPTURE. THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS A WIRE AROUND FOR THE STATE TO DO RECAPTURE IN LIGHT OF THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT'S DECISION IN EDWARD THREE IS THE DOES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS AND IF YOU DON'T DO IT, THEN YOU END UP LOSING PROPERTY ULTIMATELY.

ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEVY A TAX. IF YOU HAVE A TAX ILLEGALLY, DOING IT WITHOUT ENTERING INTO ONE OF THESE AGREEMENTS, THE STATE WILL COME IN AND TAKE THE HIGHEST VALUE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN YOUR DISTRICT AND ASSIGN IT TO A NEIGHBORING DISTRICT.

AND THEY WILL KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL YOUR WIFE GOES DOWN.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING THIS FOR. THANK YOU.

[01:50:04]

>> THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FAMILY ATTENDANCE AND HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO PAY. SO CAN YOU EXPRESS THAT FOR EXAMPLE ON A SLIDING GRAPH THAT SHOWS.

>> I CAN PREPARE THAT FOR OUR NEXT MEETING.

>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT I JUST WANTED TO SEE IT FOR MY OWN GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> TY JONES: ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. HEARING NONE, THE ITEM REQUIRES ACTION. IS THERE A MOTION.

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE THE PAPER IN FRONT OF YOU READ THAT VERBATIM.

IT IS ON THE SCREEN AS WELL. SECRETARY MORRIS?

>> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU. A MOVE THAT FOR THE 2023/224 SCHOOL YEAR WE DELEGATE AND STRUCTURAL AUTHORITY TO OBLIGATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE TEC AND 111 -- 1511C4 TO THE SUPERINTENDENT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBLIGATING THE DISTRICT UNDER TEC AND 481257 AND TEC CHAPTER 49 SUBCHAPTER EIGHT AND THE AND THE RULES ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSION OF EDUCATION AS AUTHORIZED UNDER TEC 49.006.

THIS INCLUDES APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT OR THE AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OR ATTENDANCE CREDIT KNITTING CHAPTER 48 FUNDING.

>> SECOND. >> MOVE AND PROBABLY SECOND BY TRUSTEE SMITH. ANY DISCUSSION NEEDED?

TRUSTEE WHITFIELD? >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: TRUSTEE JONES, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS APPLICATION OR THIS

PROGRAM? >> TY JONES: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME LANCASTER ISD HAS BEEN IN THE RECAPTURE.

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE BECOME A RIGID HISTORY.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: AND THAT IS WHAT CONFUSES ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE ACTUALLY OPPOSITE, I GUESS, AT ONE POINT.

I MEAN, RECENTLY. >> TY JONES: BASED ON WHAT WAS SHARED. THE PROPERTY TAXES.

'S SO THE VALUATION OF THE PROPERTIES HAVE INCREASED MORE THAN WHAT THE STATE PROVIDES. THAT IS WHY WE ARE IN THE POSITION. I BELIEVE THE REPORT THAT WAS GIVEN BACK ON AUGUST 2ND WAS LIKE 360,000 THAT WE HAVE TO PAY BACK AND 173. SO IT ENDED UP BEING LESS ON SEPTEMBER 1ST. AND THIS IS -- WHEN THEY HAVE TO SEND THOSE FUNDS BACK BUT BASED OFF OF THE PHANTOM ATTENDERS, WE MAY NOT HAVE TO PAY AS MUCH B BACK.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: WHEN YOU SAY PURCHASE OF ATTENDANCE CREDIT TO I GUESS I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFICS.

I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID. >> TY JONES: SO THE ATTENDANCE CREDITS WITH DEALING WITH THE AVERAGE CREDITS.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE WILL COME FROM THE HASKELLS AND THOSE KIDS GETS A DIFFERENT WAITING.

I'M GOING TO SAY ONE POINT. THEY MAKE AT 1.25 THEY ARE IN CTE AND 1.15 IF THEY ARE IN ANOTHER DESTINATION OF THE HIS CALL. SO BASED OFF OF THOSE, WHO IS GOING TO AGREE AGREED AGREE TO PURCHASES ATTENDANCE CREDITS AT DIFFERENT RATES SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PAY THE ESTATE BACK L LAST. I HOPE I SAID THAT RIGHT.

OKAY. >> VICE PRESIDENT.

>> ARE YOU FINE WITHOUT EXPLANATION?

>> I RECEIVED WHAT YOU SAID. WHAT IS THIS COMING RIGHT NOW, I WISH THIS HAD A DISCUSSION SO WE COULD HAVE BETTER DISCUSS THIS AND A WORKSHOP VERSUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND I HEAR WHAT THE ATTORNEY SAID.

BUT IT JUST SOUNDS -- I DON'T KNOW.

IN THE SEAMS OF THE IF HE. >> TY JONES: SECRETARY MORRIS?

>> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU. I WANTED TO REMIND THE BOARD IF WE OVERLOOK ON THE LAST MEETING, WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING BECAUSE IT WAS TALKED ABOUT AND THEY USE THE PHRASE, IF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF ROBIN HOOD, THAT PHRASE WAS USED, WHICH VERSUS PORTER

[01:55:02]

SIX AND WITH RICH DISTRICTS HAVE TO GIVE MONEY.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO SAY RICH BAIRD BUT FORTUNATELY, FROM COVID AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, WE HAVE THE EXTRA FUNDS.

BUT I WANTED TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT IN DETAIL, THIS WAS DISCUSSED BEFORE AND THOSE WITH THE TERMS.

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU. TRUSTEE STEPHENSON?

>> GREGORY STEPHENSON: I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF MY ANALYSIS THAT KIND OF NEXT, MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY AN OBSERVATION IT CAN TELL. RIGHT? AFTER ALL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL VALUE IN OUR TIME, IT IS THE LOWEST IN THE COUNTY.

OKAY? WHERE AND HOW TAXES ARE THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTY AND THE KIND OF GO TOGETHER.

BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED RECENTLY, IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CITY OF LANCASTER WENT OVER RESIDENTIAL VALUES AND COMMERCIAL VALUES. REGION INTO HIS EXPLODED.

LAST YEAR, IT WAS 46% IN COMMERCIAL VALUES WHEREAS RESIDENTIAL VALUES, 1.2% BECAUSE OF COMPRESSION, OF COURSE.

WE WERE A SECOND IN THE COUNTY AND INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL VALUES WHEREAS, WHO. WILL MABREY, AND WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT THERE? IT IS ALL DISTRIBUTION CENTERS AND THE WALMART DISTRIBUTION CENTER CAME AND ALL THAT.

800 MILLION-DOLLAR COMPLEX. OF COURSE, THE CITY, TO GIVE 30% BACK IN REBATES. WE GET NOTHING.

SO I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE. AND OF THE THINGS ARE COMING, AS EASY, THERE ARE MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY AND WE WEEK OUT WHAT

COMING UP? >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: AND I

APPRECIATE THAT. >> GREGORY STEPHENSON: THAT IS WHY. THAT IS WHAT GOT US HERE.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU, TRUSTEE STEPHENSON? DO YOU WANT TO BE ORGANIZED? PROPERTY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED.

OKAY. TRUSTEE WHITFIELD.

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: I GUESS MY CONCERN COMES IS IS YOU CONTINUE TO HEAR THAT WE ARE WELL BELOW OUR FENCE SO WE DON'T HAVE FUNDS AND THESE ARE THE MOST RECENT MEETINGS IN THE "WHY" WE CANNOT DO CERTAIN THINGS OR WHAT WE HAVE NOT DONE, YOU KNOW, HAVE COMMITTED TO CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS IS BEING IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

BUT THEM TO. >> MARION HAMILTON: AND BEING

TOLD THAT WE ARE RICH. >> TY JONES: I THINK THIS COMES FROM THE STATE FOR THE CALCULATIONS.

SO BASED OFF OF THE FUNDING THAT WE GET TO PRETTY MUCH HAVE FUNDING COMES FROM LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES.

ROUGHLY THEY HAVE COMES FROM THE STATE AND WHEN WE AND WE GOT ABOUT 1.3, 1.4% FROM FEDERAL. SO WHEN THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX EXCEEDS WHAT THE STATE IS GIVING TO THOSE THE PUNT THAT WE GOT TO PAY THEM BACK AND THAT -- THOSE FUNDS.

THIS ALLOWS US TO DO THAT IN THIS VEIN AND WE HAVE NOT EXPLAINED SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LOSE THE ACTUAL PROPERTY.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, WE WILL TAKE A VOTE.

[13.A. Discussion and possible approval of partnership with Impact Learning (G1, G3) - Nakesha Reddick and Dr. Deidra Stevens, Presenters]

WE ARE GOING TO NOW MOVED TO 13 A IN YOUR AGENDAS WHICH IS DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE APPROVAL PARTNERSHIP WITH IMPACT LEARNING. DR. PERERA?

THANK YOU, DR. CHEEK'S. >> KATRISE PERERA: THANK YOU, TRUSTEE JONES AND A CALL FOR RIGHT INTO PAST THE INFORMATION

FORWARD ALONG WITH DR. STEVENS. >> GOOD EVENING.

DR. PERERA. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE DR. DEIDRA STEVENS. THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF IMPACT LEARNING. SHE IS GOING TO EXPLAIN HER PROPOSAL FOR PARTNERSHIP WITH LANCASTER ISD INCLUDING TO BOOST ACHIEVEMENT AS WELL AS ALGEBRA ONE.

>> KNOW HOW TO DESIGN, IMPL IMPLEMENT, AND MANAGE PROGRAMS

THAT INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM. >> ANOTHER THING THAT I ENJOYED SO MUCH ABOUT THE CLASS WAS THE REALISTIC VIEW OF HOW MANY INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS ARE TEACHERS ACTUALLY HAVE TO TEACH THE CURRICULUM THAT IS REQUIRED. IT OPENED MY EYES TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO NOW COME TO THE TEACHERS WITH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE I HAVE TO TRULY UNDERSTAND AND BE EMPATHETIC ABOUT HOW MANY DAYS TO ACTUALLY GET TO TEACH OUR

STUDENTS. >> YOU WERE PURPOSE TO PREPARE.

>> IT HAS GIVEN ME MANY THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

[02:00:01]

IT HAS TICKETERS HELP ME TO LOOK HOW I CAN WORK TOGETHER WITH OUR TEAM SO THAT WE ALL CAN GROW FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR STUDENTS.

>> WE DO NOT GROW LEMONS. >> WE DO NOT GROW LIMITS.

>> THAT IS THE T-SHIRT. >> I HAVE A LOT OF GOALS I WANTED TO GET BACK AND IMPLEMENT TO BREAK OF MY ABILITY.

>> I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE. >> , THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR. STEVENS. I APPRECIATE IT AND I LOOK

FORWARD TO THE REMAINING COURSE. >> I WANT TO THANK HER FOR OPENING MY EYES AND.INTIMATE SO NOW I CAN MOVE FORWARD AND STRIVE AND CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO NOT ONLY GROW STUDENTS BOTH GROW

TEACHERS. >> IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL MASTER CLASS, SIGN UP TODAY.

>> GOOD EVENING. WHY THIS TEAM BOARD MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS DR. DEIDRA STEVENS. I'M FOUNDER OF IMPACT THREE TEACHER TRAINING AND WE ARE A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A MISSION TO SUPPORT HIGH NEEDS SCHOOLS.

THOSE ARE SCHOOLS THAT CONSIST OF HIGHER MINORITY POPULATION AND/OR LOW SOCIOECONOMIC FAMILIES.

BUT AS I HEARD TODAY, A WEALTHY DISTRICT.

SO I DON'T KNOW. WE ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH YOU. SO OUR OBJECTIVES FOR TODAY IS I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE HISTORY OF THE EXISTING PARTNERSHIP THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE WITH US AND I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING PARTNERSHIP.

OKAY? SO OUR PARTNERSHIP BEGAN IN 2 21/22. TEXAS INSTRUMENT HIRED US TO COME IN AND TO SUPPORT YOUR MATH TEACHERS.

WE CAME IN AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

BUT SINCE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO CHALLENGES THAT WERE PRESENTED FROM COVID AND THINGS OF THAT SORT, WE DID NOT GET TO THE FINISH. SO WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY COMING IN IN 22/23 ANSWER TEXAS INSTRUMENT AND EDUCATE TEXAS THROUGH, I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU KNOW HER.

BUT SHE BROUGHT US AND TO SUPPORT AGAIN, LAST YEAR, THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR, YOUR MATH TEACHERS AND ALSO, YOUR STAFF.

SO THAT IS WHAT WE DID AND WE HAD AN ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION TO CONTINUE THAT PARTNERSHIP OR EXPAND THAT PARTNERSHIP FOR THIS YEAR. SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS. WE WERE ONLY GIVEN ON WEEKS, OKAY, BUT WE CAME IN AND WE WORK HARD BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY A PASSION OF OURS BUT HAVE FOUND IS THAT SUPPORT THAT IS OFTEN GIVEN IS JUST BY THE. BUT WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH HIGH NEEDS CAMPUSES AND HIGH NEEDS DISTRICTS, YOU HAVE TO ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE CULTURE OF THAT DISTRICT OR THE SCHOOL. AND WE DO THAT.

WE CALL IT A RESPONSE TO THE QUARTERBACK SO AFTER -- THE FIRST THING THAT WE DO IF YOU WILL NOTICE, OUR GOAL NUMBER ONE, AND LIKE TO WORK AROUND, IN THE -- AND SO -- WHAT? OH, SEE? THAT IS MY SUPERPOWER.

DON'T GET ME STARTED. OKAY.

SO GOAL NUMBER ONE OF US IS ALWAYS TO BUILD QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS. WE ARE ON A CRUSADE TO MAKE SURE THAT INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP IS AT THE HELM OF EVERY SCHOOL.

SO GOOD SCHOOLS HAVE GOOD TANGIBLES.

BUT HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS AND SO THERE IS WHAT WE DO. WE SUPPORT OUR LEADERSHIP IN BEING BETTER INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS AND THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM YOUR OFFICE AND YOUR FRONT OFFICE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YOUR CLASSROOM TEACHER. AND WE CAN ONLY MOVE AT THE SPEED AT WHICH WE HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP FOUNDATION.

SO WE START WITH BUILDING QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS BY PROVIDING EMPATHY INTERVIEWS OR AN INTERVIEW ASSESSMENT AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END AND THAT IS SO THAT WE CAN CUSTOMIZE OUR SUPPORT FOR EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL THAT WE SUPPORT.

AS A RESULT OF US DOING THAT, 92% OF THE TEACHERS AND ADMIN STAFF THAT WE WORK WITH -- WHAT? OKAY.

[02:05:05]

92% OF THE TEACHERS AND LEADERS THAT WE WORK WITH FOR LAST YEAR, THEY ALL REQUESTED THAT WE RETURN AGAIN BUT THIS TIME AT THE START OF THE YEAR AND THEY RETURNED -- RATED A BILL BETWEEN A FOUR AND FIVE STARS, OKAY. GOAL TWO AND GOAL THREE, EVOLVED FROM THE EMPATHY INTERVIEWS. WE DID ARE BEING ABLE TO TALK TO PRINCIPLES ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED FOR THEIR CAMPUS.

IT IS NEVER OUR GOAL TO COME IN AND JUST RE-CREATE SOMETHING N NEW. WE WANTED TO GET IN AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT. WE WANT TO TAKES THEM TO REALIZING WHATEVER VISION THEY HAD ON THEIR CAMPUS.

AND SO ALL OF THE -- BOOK OF BOTH PRINCIPLES, THEY DO NOT KNOW. BUT BOTH PRINCIPLES AT THE TIME MS. REDDICK WAS ONE OF THOSE PRINCIPLES.

THEY ALL WANTED OR BOTH WANTED TO DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION AND THEY ALL WANTED THEIR TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY AND STRATEGICALLY USE DATA AND AT THAT TIME, WE KNEW ANYTIME THERE'S AN ISSUE OR A CHANGE WITH DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH APPLICATION OF DATA.

RIGHT? SO OUR GOAL TWO WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT TEACHERS UNDERSTOOD HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE THE WEALTH OF DATA THAT IS ALREADY BEING COLLECTED WITHIN THE DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND FROM THERE, WE WERE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY WORK WITH TEACHERS.

SO OUR EXPANSION WITH THE EXPECTATION FOR 25 WEEK IMPACT IS FOR US TO COME IN FOR 25 WEEKS AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF MY OTHER CONSULTANTS HERE AS WELL. IMPACT CONSULTANTS HERE AS WELL.

FOR 25 WEEKS, THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE WANT TO PROVIDE WRAPAROUND SUPPORT FROM DAY ONE FOR OUR TEACHERS AND OUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. AND THAT IS INCLUSIVE OF THE MATH TEACHERS, THE MATH LAB TEACHERS, AND THE CAMPUS LEADERS AND THAT LEADERS AND THAT IS FOR GRADES SIX THROUGH ALGEBRA ONE.

SO IT WOULD BE GREAT SIX THROUGH NINE.

OKAY? WE WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING SUPPLEMENTAL AND CURRICULUM SUPPORT SO WE WILL BE DESIGNING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT COMPLEMENT THE CURRICULUM THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY SELECTED FOR THIS YEAR AS WELL AS MAKING SURE AT THE START OF T THE YEAR THAT ARE TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA FOR STUDENT IMPROVEMENT.

OKAY? THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

TRUSTEE WHITFIELD. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: THANK YOU.

ARE -- WITHIN THE PAST TWO SCHOOL DISTRICT YEARS, WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE YOU ASSISTED OR SERVICED? THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE OR IF WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ASSIST DISORDER IST. WE HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH MARLIN ISD WE HAVE TRAINED ANYWHERE FROM HERE TO PAKISTAN.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE WORKED IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND I JUST FACILITATEE ARE JUST FACILITATED A COURSE FOR A UNIVERSITY IMPACT COACH IN PAKISTAN SUPPORTING INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS THERE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A LONG WAYS OFF AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO WORK IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO.

>> TY JONES: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO REREAD THIS SLIDE IF WE COULD GO BACK THERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS CHARACTERISTIC TO IMPACT LEARNING IS THIS TRILEVEL SUPPORT.

SO NOT ONLY OTHER TEACHERS BEING TAXED, THE STUDENTS ARE BEING TOUCHED AS WELL AS YOUR LEADERS. AND SO WHEN YOU PACKAGE THAT ALL OF, THE PRICE YOU MIGHT THINK IS ASTRONOMICAL.

WE ARE TALKING $200,000 THAT WOULD COME OUT OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES BUDGET FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AFFECTING ABOUT 2,000 INDIVIDUALS. AND SO WHEN YOU DO THE MATH BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS NOT, WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT $100 PER PE PERSON.

AND SO WILL YOUR LARGER COMPANIES THAT WOULD COME INTO THE SAME THING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE YOU A PRICE FOR PURGING ALL THREE GROUPS.

BUT HER PIES OR THIS PARTNERSHIP WOULD INCLUDE THE TRILEVEL

[02:10:01]

SUPPORT. SO IT IS THAT YOU GUYS POST FOR

THIS OWNERSHIP. >> TY JONES: THANK YOU.

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS MYSELF. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED GRADES SIX THROUGH GRADE NINE. HAVE STUDENTS GOING INTO TENTH

GRADE OR 11TH GRADE. >> OR, IF THEY ARE TAKING IT O

OUT. >> TY JONES: OKAY.

THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE. WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES FROM THIS PARTNERSHIP AS IT RELATES TO STUDENT PERFORMANCE

AND GOOD CAPACITY? >> SO WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT GW SEE, THERE WAS A NEED FOR US TO CREATE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS.

QUICK CHECKS SO THEY CAME IN AND THEY CREATED EXIT TICKETS FOR US. THE ASCOT THIS YEAR IS TO CONTINUE THAT SAME -- THE SAME PRACTICE BUT WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE LAB CLASSES BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY WE DO NOT

HAVE IT BUILT -- >> TY JONES: WOULD YOU SPECIFY

WHAT THOSE ARE. >> IT IS WHAT TEACHERS ARE TO TEACH OVER THE COURSE OF 36 WEEKS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR FIXED-RATE ALSO, TOO, THE CURRICULUM PIECE THAT MS. REDDICK SPOKE OF IN THE PAST, OUR LAB CLASSES HAVE BEEN REMEDIATION. THEY HAVE BEEN LAGGED CLASSES.

WHAT. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO IS TO TAKE CARE LAB CLASSES AND MAKE THEM PREVENTION LABS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE SKILL WHEN THE CURRICULUM GETS THERE. CASE AND PARKED, IF WE KNOW THAT WHAT IS COMING THE NEXT TWO WEEKS IS MULTIPLICATION OR FRACTIONS, SO TO SPEAK FOR THEY WILL SEE THAT IN THE LAB POWER TO THEM GETTING TO ATTRACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO THE PHILOSOPHY IS THAT WE WANT TO BUILD OUR KIDS BEFORE SO THAT WHEN THEY GET THERE, THEY CAN ACTUALLY ACCESS THE CURRICULUM. ONE THING THAT YOU WILL SEE WHEN I DO THE ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY WE CHOSE GRADE SIX THROUGH -- AND I WILL SAY HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT ALGEBRA ONE. WE MAY HAVE AN 11TH GRADER WHO STILL NEEDS TO TAKE ALGEBRA ONE. IT WAS IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY MATRIX BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE NEW SYSTEM ENDS, THE PROPORTIONAL WEIGHTS, MORE THAN 50% OF THE WEIGHT OF AIR DISTRICT WILL COME FROM GRADES SIX THROUGH 12.

MORE THAN 60% IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 70% OF THE BACK OF THE GRADE FOR OUR DISTRICT WILL COME FROM GRADES SIX THROUGH 12.

SO WE HAVE SOME PREVENTION TO DO BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN OF THE GAPS ESPECIALLY SINCE COVID. WE KNOW OF THE GAPS THAT EXIST.

WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE PREPARED NOT ONLY FOR THE EOC BUT REALLY TO ACCESS THE CURRICULUM THAT IS TO COMPARE THE AMOUNT THAT M MS. REDDICK MENTIONED, IT IS BUDGETED IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU APPROVED.

MONDAY, SO IT IS IN MY BUDGET TO HAVE EXTRA SUPPORT AROUND THAT.

WE CHOSE TO BE SURE TO TRY TO HAVE THAT EXTRA SUPPORT AS IN-PERSON SUPPORT FOR OUR PRINCIPALS, OUR STUDENTS, AND OUR TEACHERS. ONE OF THE CHARGES WHEN I CAME HERE THAT I HEARD TIME AND TIME AGAIN FROM ONE BOARD MEMBER WAS ABOUT OUR MATH SCORES. HE IS LOOKING DOWN RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT WAS A CLAIM SO TO SPEAK.

CLAIM TO FAME FOR THIS DISTRICT. COVID IMPACTED US IN MATH TO.

AND SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT OUR ZERO-BASED BUDGET, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS BUILD IN A CUSHION SO THAT WE MAY SHARE THAT WE IMPACTED OUR STUDENTS.

WE ALREADY HAD AN EXISTING RELATIONSHIP WITH IMPACT BY THE SEATING OF T.I. AND THIS WAS AN EXTENSION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE SUPPORT THAT THEY HAVE TO

OFFER. >> TY JONES: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL PROVIDE WORLD-CLASS TEACHING AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES WHERE BY EACH STUDENT NEEDS ONE GRADE LEVEL EVERY ACADEMIC YEAR.

SO THAT IS A CHARGE. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PARTNERSHIP, THE IMPACT LEA LEARNING. 'S.

>> SECOND. >> TY JONES: CIRCUITED.

TAKE A VOTE. OKURRR.

[02:15:04]

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.

[13.D. Discussion and possible approval to take action to approve Designated Non-Business Days as it relates to the Public Information Act Calendar, in accordance with HB 3033. (G3, G4) - Sharesa Alexander, Presenter]

YOUR AGENDA. APPROVE DESIGNATED NONBUSINESS DAYS AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT CALENDAR.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOUSE BILL 2,033.

DR. PERERA? >> KATRISE PERERA: THANK YOU, TRUSTEE JONES. WE HAVE SHARESA ALEXANDER TO PRESENT THAT INFORMATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.

>> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU, FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND MY NAME IS SHARESA ALEXANDER AND I AM COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT.

I'M HERE TO THE PRESENT -- AS REQUIRED BY THE HOUSE BILL 3033.

HAS BEEN 3333 REQUIRES THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY NO MORE THAN 10 NONBUSINESS DAYS THAT ARE PURE ABOVE AND BEYOND FEDERAL STATE HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS. IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE DISTRICT HAS TO RESPOND TO THE PUBLIC INFORMATION.

FOR EXAMPLE IN NOVEMBER, THE STATE AND FEDERAL HOLIDAYS FOR THANKSGIVING IS THE 23RD & 20 FOUR.

THE DISTRICTS FOR TO BREAK FOR THANKSGIVING BREAK NOVEMBER 30TH, 20034. THEREFORE I RECOMMEND THAT WE DESIGNATE NOVEMBER 20, 21ST 2013 AS AIR NONBUSINESS DAYS IN ACCORDANCE WITH HOUSE BILL 333. THE DISTRICT TAKES WINNIPEG'S DECEMBER 22ND THROUGH JANUARY 5TH.

HOWEVER THE PERSON NAMED IN FEDERAL HOLIDAYS ARE DECEMBER 25TH AND 27TH AND JANUARY 1ST AND 2ND.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU PRETTY MUCH.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR ALEXANDER? TRUSTEE STEPHENSON? TRUSTEE CLEWIS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WHO CAME UP WITH THESE DAYS?

>> SHARESA ALEXANDER: THESE DAYS WERE ALREADY DAYS THAT WE HAD OFF AND BECAUSE THESE ADDITIONAL DAYS ARE NOT FEDERAL AND STATE HOLIDAYS, WE SELECTED TO OPPOSE THESE DAYS AS OUR NONBUSINESS DAYS. SO A SOCIALLY THIS IS REDUCING THE TIME TO RESPOND TO PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS.

SO WE CAN AVOID. THIS IS NOT JUST APPLICABLE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PRACTICES FOR ALL THE AGENCIES.

SO THEY WIN IT WAS IN HAPPENING WITH THE DISTRICT CLOSED WERE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES WERE CLOSED FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME, A LOT OF REQUESTS WERE NOT BEING MADE TO ME BECAUSE OF THOSE DAYS BEING CLOSED AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT THE DISTRICT WAS CLOSE.

SO THIS WILL CLEAR THAT BY DESIGNATING THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT WE WILL NOT BE WORKING. AND ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, WE WILL HAVE TO COUNT AS A DAY IN THE 10 DAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO

RESPOND. >> SO THE DISTRICT CHOSE THESE

DAYS AND NOT THE BOARD. >> SHARESA ALEXANDER: THESE ARE PROPOSE FOR YOU TO SELECT. YOU ARE OPEN TO WHATEVER DAYS YOU WANT. THESE ARE PROPOSED BECAUSE THESE ARE ALREADY ARE HOLIDAYS THAT WERE CLOSED AND THESE WILL BE DAYS THAT WE WON'T BE HERE WORKING.

>> VICE PRESIDENT, I WOULD ASK THAT WE TABLE THIS ONE AND POSSIBLY BRING IT BACK AT A LATER RAID.

IT CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHOULD MAKE THESE DAYS. THIS IS THE FIRST THAT I HAVE HEARD OF IT OR NOT THE FIRST. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO PRIOR CONVERSATION THAT INVOLVED THE ENTIRE PORT IN REGARDS TO ANY PLACE THAT WOULD BE SELECTED. AND IF I OUR MISUNDERSTANDING,

SOMEBODY PLEASE CORRECT ME. >> WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> BY SEPTEMBER 1ST. >> WE NEED TO ADOPT -- ONE THINT TO DO IT. IT REQUIRES THE BOARD AND OF THE GAMES A HARD -- BY SEPT SEPTEMBER 1ST.

>> SHARESA ALEXANDER: YES, THESE ARE JUST PROPOSE DATES PROPOSE DATES FOR YOU TO DISCUSS AT THIS TIME.

>> SO WHEN DID WE LEARN OF THIS? >> SHARESA ALEXANDER: WHEN HOUSE

BILL 3033 WAS PASSED. >> AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, HOW

ARE AGO WAS THAT? >> SHARESA ALEXANDER: JUST

[02:20:01]

[INAUDIBLE]. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT WEIGHT.

IT WAS JUST RECENTLY. JULY.

YEAH. >> IT WAS SIGNED BY THE GOV GOVERNOR. JUNE OF THIS YEAR.

THE EFFECT WILL BE THAT THERE ARE [INAUDIBLE] WHICH MAKES THA-

>> SHARESA ALEXANDER: RIGHT. >> SO DOES THIS HAVE TO BE EACH YEAR APPROVED OR IS THIS SOMETHING WE ARE DOING TODAY AND IT IS UNTIL WE DECIDE TO CHANGE IT?

>> I WOULD ASSUME THAT. BUT WE MAY BE WORKING TO AND IF

IT IS FAR ENOUGH THAT -- >> CORRECT.

>> IT WILL BE IN OTHER WILL COLOR CODING ON THE CALENDAR.

AN ITEM ON THAT. SO IT HAS BEEN REMOVED OR THIS IS NO DIFFERENT, IF IT IS HERE OR NOT TRACK.

>> SHARESA ALEXANDER: AND IF YOU NOTICE WORK WITH THE GREEN CIRCLES ARE, THEY ARE IN LINE WITH THE YELLOW AND THE YELLOW BAR OF THE DAYS WE WERE ALREADY EFFECT THIS THE CALENDAR WEEK WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THESE BREAKS.

WE ALREADY ARE GOING TO BE OUT IN NOVEMBER AND THE 22ND TO THE FIFTH AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

JUST APPROVED DATES. GEERGES WANTING TO DESIGNATE THAT THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT ARE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE

FEDERAL AND STATE HOLIDAYS ARE. >> SO DURING OUR SCREEN TIME, HOW WOULD THIS IMPACT THE REQUEST?

>> WHEN WE ARE NOT HERE, WE DON'T HAVE THEM AND THESE ARE

DAYS. >> OKAY THESE ARE JUST DAYS ON

TOP OF. >> IT IS DOES NEED IN THERE THAT THEY ARE NONBUSINESS DAYS. THOSE DAYS CANNOT BE COUNTED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT -- WE LOOK AT THE CALENDAR. YES, THEY WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE NOVEMBER 20 IS NOT ALWAYS GOING TO FALL THING.

SO DAYS YOU ALREADY APPROVED AS A BOARD, WE PULLED OUT 10 THAT ARE AROUND HOLIDAYS WHERE WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE NOT HERE.

WE CAN ONLY HAVE 10 AND THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE.

SO THESE ARE DAYS AGAIN, THE BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE CALENDAR BECAUSE THIS IS FROM THE LEGISLATORS.

SO YOU HAVE IT IN PLACE BY SEPTEMBER 1.

SO THIS DIDN'T COME IN OVER THE SUMMER AND ACTUALLY FINALIZE INFORMATION WAS SOMETIME IN JULY.

SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE LOOKED BACK AND ALIGN WITH THOSE 10 DAYS WITH WHAT WE ALREADY HAD OF. THAT IS REALLY ALL IT IS.

>> I WANT TO REITERATE, THIS IS TO THIS IS TO ENSURE OUR TIMELINESS. THAT WAY, OUR COMMUNITY DOES NOT HAVE -- WAITING AND WAITING FOR THE INFORMATION AND THEY CLEARLY

KNOW THINGS WHEN THEY START. >> SO WHEN YOU ADOPT A COUNTER IN MARCH, 24 A COUPLE OF THESE DAYS WILL ALREADY BE IN THERE.

AGAIN, NEW LEGISLATION. >> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? JUST A SECOND.

>> AND YOU ASKED ME TO WAIT. >> TY JONES: GO AHEAD, SECRETARY MORSE. SECRETARY MORRIS.

>> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL THE BOARD THAT THESE DAYS ARE REALLY TO PROTECT US, THE GOVERNMENTAL BODIES, BECAUSE IF THERE'S SOME REQUEST AND WE ALREADY CLOSE TO YOU GOTTA BACK AND -- OR YOU WILL BE IN VIOLATION, SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT OR THE BOARD NO WHAT WE NEED TO BOARD -- VOTE ON THIS.

>> TY JONES: TRUSTEE WHITFIELD. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: MY TRUST -- QUESTION WOULD BE FOR MS. ALEXANDER.

WHAT OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS ARE SET FORTH OUTSIDE OF THE OPEN RECORDS ACT AS IT RELATES TO ADOPTING THIS? SO OF COURSE, IF WE DON'T ADOPT THIS, THEN IT WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS INCLUDING THESE DAYS.

ARE THERE OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AS IT RELATES TO

REQUEST OUTSIDE OF THE -- >> THE DISTRICT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RESPONDED TO OPEN RECORDS REQUEST WITHIN 10 DAYS.

SO IF WE DON'T ADOPT THIS CALENDAR AND WE SAY FOR INS INSTANCE, WE ARE OUT NOVEMBER THE 20TH THROUGH THE 24TH, AND SAVE THE REQUEST COMES IN DURING THE TIME, WE WILL HAVE TO CALL OUR STAFF BACK INTO TRYING TO RESPOND TO THOSE THINGS.

[02:25:03]

SO OTHER THAN RESPONDING TIMELY AND FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC INFORMATION AT THOSE ARE OTHER --

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: SO THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT AND THAT

IS IT? >> SHARESA ALEXANDER: FOR THE

PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT. >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: RIGHT.

I'M SORRY. I GOT ALL THESE LEGAL JARGONS IN MY HEAD. BUT THE RECORDS.

>> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, THIS DOES REQUIRE A MOTION AND ACTION.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> MR. PRESIDENT.

I MOTION THAT -- I MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS NEEDED NONBUSINESS DAYS AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT CALENDAR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOUSE BILL, 3033.

>> SECOND. >> TY JONES: WE HAVE A MOTION BY KIRSTY SMITH, SECOND BY SECOND TRE MORRIS.

TAKE A VOTE. TRUSTEE STEPHENSON.

TRUSTEE CLEWIS.

IN. >> TY JONES: THE MOTION CARRIES.

IT WILL BE 5-1. THANK YOU.

WE WILL MOVE INTO ACTION, ITEM F.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. >> IT IS, TRUSTEE JONES, ITEM F, WE STILL DO NOT HAVE, AGAIN, WE WERE ANTICIPATING HAVING ALL OUR QUOTES AND THEN I WOULD RATHER NOT PRESENT THAT TO YOU UNTIL WE HAVE ALL OUR QUOTES FOR YOU. THAT IS WHY WE ADDED IT, BUT

THEY ARE NOT IN IT. >> TY JONES: SO WE'RE GOING TO

[13.G. Discussion and possible approval of the 2023-24 Memorandum of Understanding Agreement (MOU) between Lancaster ISD and McMurray College. (G1) - LaTasha Murry, Presenter]

PULL THIS ITEM. >> IS, FOR SEPTEMBER.

>> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT. MOVING FORWARD, ITEM G, WHICH IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANCASTER ISD AND MCMURRAY

COLLEGE. >> I WILL CALL FORWARD M MS. MURRAY NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MAEGAN MURRAY.

SHE WILL BE PRESENTING THAT INFORMATION TO BOARD AND THE

COMMUNITY. >> GOOD EVENING AND SUPERINTENDENT PERFECT I AM LATASHA MURRY AND I AM WITH THE ACADEMICS COORDINATOR AS WE WORK WELL TOGETHER ON THIS PROPOSAL.

A PROPOSAL TO PARTNER WITH MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY TO INCREASE DUAL CREDIT PARTNERSHIP, CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS AND IT IS NOT JUST EARLY COLLEGE STUDENTS BUT LANCASTER HAS CORPORATE.

>> MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY IS A PRIVATE INSTITUTION IN ABILENE, TEXAS. IT IS ABOUT THREE HOURS AWAY FROM LANCASTER. MORE THAN 75 UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS. AND THEY OFFER ONLINE COURSES AND PROGRAMS. THEY ARE NATIONALLY RANKED AND

THEY ARE CREDITED. >> THIS PARTNERSHIP WOULD BE IN STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT WITH NUMBER ONE.

OFFERING WORLD-CLASS TEACHING AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES WHEREBY EACH STUDENT GROWS AND DEVELOPS AT LEAST ONE GRADE LEVEL EVERY ACADEMIC YEAR. AS WE KNOW, ONLINE LEARNING AND REMOTE LEARNING IN A SEA -- IS A THING OF THE PRESENT.

AND SO MCMURRAY'S PROGRAM WITH DUAL ENROLLMENT IS COMPLETELY ONLINE. ALSO, IT IS ALIGNMENT WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AS WE WANT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PARTNERSHIP WITH INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO OFFER MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS EARNING DUAL CREDIT HOURS FOR COLLEGE.

>> SO WE HAVE CERTAIN PARTNERSHIPS, PARTNERSHIP BENEFITS WITH MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY.

WE HAVE INCREASED FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING STUDENT ELIGIBILITY.

SO THE DISTRICT HAS AUTONOMY WITH DECIDING WHO GOES TO THE PROGRAM. IF THEY HAVE ASYNCHRONOUS COURSES, THAT MINIMIZE CHANGES WITH SCHEDULING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, THE COURSES ARE DESIGNED AND TAILORED TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. WHAT IS ALSO GREAT IS THAT THE COST IS ALL-INCLUSIVE. WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL FEES OR MATERIALS THAT ARE PURCHASED. RIGHT NOW WITH A PARTNERSHIP WE DO HAVE TO SPIN ABOUT $200,000 PER BOX AND WITH MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY. IT IS ALL-INCLUSIVE.

AND ALSO SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE GRANTS STUDENTS JUST ONE COURSE, A STUDENT, AUTOMATIC ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY AND THEY WILL RECEIVE $1,000 SCHOLARSHIP THAT IS RENEWABLE ANNUALLY. BY ENROLLING WITH MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY. THEY ALSO HAVE STUDENT SUPPORT

[02:30:02]

SERVICES THAT MS. MURRAY WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

>> ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO NOTE IS THAT WE DID DUE DILIGENCE IN A CROSSWALK BETWEEN COURSES OFFERED AT MCMURRAY USING THE TEXAS COME COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM PROGRAM THAT DALLAS COLLEGE IS ALSO USED WITH OUR EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM TO SEE HOW THOSE CREDITS WOULD TRANSFER TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS.

WE LOOKED AT THE SYSTEM. WE LOOKED AT THE UT SYSTEM.

AND THOSE COURSES WILL TRANSFER TO THOSE INSTITUTIONS AS -- NOT ELECTIVES WHICH APPLIES TO THEIR DEGREE PLANS SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO GO TO THE INSTITUTIONS OF THAT SORT.

ANOTHER BENEFIT FOR THIS PARTNERSHIP, THOSE SUPPORT SERVICES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY OFFERS STUDENT SUCCESS COACHES. I'M LOOKING AT MY NOTES HERE.

STUDENT SUCCESS COACHES WITH MONITORS THE STUDENTS TIME ON TASK IN THE PROGRAMS. AND THEY ALSO OFFER WORKSHOPS ON TIME MANAGEMENT AND HOW TO STUDY, HOW TO HELP THE STUDENTS BE SUCCESSFUL IN THOSE COURSES. OF COURSE, THEY ARE ONLINE.

BUT ANOTHER BENEFIT IS THAT ADMINISTRATORS IN THE DISTRICT ALSO HAVE BACKSEAT ACCESS THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE DATA SHARING AGREEMENT SO THAT IF A STUDENT IS FALLING BEHIND OR IS NOT SPENDING ENOUGH TIME IN THE COURSE, THEN WE IN THE DISTRICT GET AN OTHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS THE DOES PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE STUDENTS TO HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL.

THE COST FOR THE PROGRAM IS VERY COMPARABLE TO WHAT WE PAY FOR DALLAS COLLEGE DUAL CREDIT. IT IS $200 PER STUDENT PER THREE-HOUR COURSE. IT IS $300 PER STUDENT PER FOUR-HOUR COURSE AND ONLY FOUR-HOUR COURSES ARE SCIENCE COURSES THAT HAVE A LAB. I GAVE SOME EXAMPLES FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE JUST KIND OF START TO OUT THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH 25 STUDENTS WITH 13-HOUR COURSE THAT WOULD EQUAL TO $5,000. NO, I GAVE AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE THIS IS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR ENROLLMENT IN THESE COURSES, THEN WE COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE SURE THAT 100% OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE IT WHEN THEY GRADUATE.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, TO HAVE THE INDICATOR, YOU CAN -- THE STUDENT CAN HAVE A THREE-HOUR DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE IN MATH OR ENGLISH. SO WE COULD POTENTIALLY ENROLL STUDENTS IN OUR MCMURRY PARTNERSHIP TO GET THAT.

NOW, IF WE TOLD THAT THEY WERE INELIGIBLE, ANOTHER CCMR INDICATOR IS THAT IF THEY DO NOT HAVE IT IN MATH OR ENGLISH, THEY HAVE AND HOURS IN OTHER SUBJECT AREAS.

SO THEY ALREADY TAKE ECONOMICS. THEY ARE READY TO GET GOVERNMENT. THEY HAD TO TAKE THOSE TO THE GRADUATE. BE MCMURRAY DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES AS WELL AS WE GIVE THEM SOMETHING LIKE A PHILOSOPHY CLASS AND THEY WOULD HAVE AND HOURS AGAIN TO MEET CCMR INDICATORS. SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS THAT YOU APPROVE THIS REQUEST BETWEEN THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL AND MCMURRAY UNIVERSITY FOR COST NOT TO EXCEED $50,000 AND A FUNDING SOURCE WOULD BE TEXAS INSTRUMENT

FOR YOU. >> SO LET'S VOTE RIGHT NOW.

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU, MRS. MARY.

HOLD ON. WE WILL GET THERE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR M MS. MURRAY?

SECRETARY MORRIS? >> CAROLYN MORRIS: SO THEY WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO -- AS A GRADUATION THERE? FOUR YEAR DEGREE? SO NOW INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE

GRADUATION, YOU HAVE TWO. >> THIS IS NOT FOR AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE PROGRAM YET. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR THAT.

MCMURRAY JUST STARTED AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE PROGRAM.

THEY PRESENTED WAS A LIST OF 20 COURSES THAT THEY DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

WE LOOKED AT THOSE 20 ONLY AND AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, 15 OF THEM ACTUALLY TRANSFERS TO ALL OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS.

>> SO THAT IS GOOD. >> YES.

>> ALL RIGHT. FAKING TO SECRETARY MORRIS.

ALL RIGHT, HEARING NONE, THIS DOES REQUIRE ACTION.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.

>> A MOTION HAD A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION?

[02:35:02]

IT IS -- MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE CLOTHES NEXT TIME.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

WE WILL TAKE A VOTE.

THIS MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT.

[13.H. Discussion and possible approval of TASB 121 update.]

THANK YOU, LADIES.

ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF UPDATED 121. NO.

WE ARE JUST GETTING THERE RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE GETTING THERE. >> JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS ONE. THAT IS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND NOT A SPECIAL QUALIFIED STUDENT ANY PROGRAM.

I THINK ALL OF OUR STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE THAT ACCESS AND HONESTLY, WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE PREPARING A CASE FOR AND GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A COURSE ON WHICH THERE WILL BE, PRETTY GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM, WHICH I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, I

ALEXANDER, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. >> GOOD EVENING TO FOLLOW MEMBERS. THIS IS SHARESA ALEXANDER HE COULD TO PRESENT THE UPDATE. THIS ITEM IS BACK TO YOU BEFORE THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND IT IS UP FOR ANY DISCUSSION THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> THANK YOU. , WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE? AND WE DISCUSSED ONE OF THE PROCEEDS WE DISCUSSED ANY OTHER POLICIES RELATED UPDATE 121 FROM ANYONE. OKAY.

HOLD ON JUST A SECOND. OKAY.

SECRETARY MORRIS. >> I'M READY FOR THE FIRST.

>> FOUR TIMES. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO NO OTHER QUESTIONS, IT IS TIME FOR US TO MAKE A MOTION.

>> MR. VICE PRESIDENT, I MAKE A MOTION THAT DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL FOR -- OF T.A. SB 121 UPDATE: .

>> HOLD ON TO SECOND. WHEN WE ARE MAKING THE MOTION, LET'S JUST SAY I MOVED TO APPROVE AND THEN WHATEVER IS AFTER THAT, I MAKE A MOTION SO LET'S DO THAT.

>> THANK YOU. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE OF TASK

121 UPDATE. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY SECRETARY MORRIS.

A SECOND BY TRUSTEE SMITH. ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, WE WILL TAKE A VOTE.

TRUSTEE STEPHENSON. TRUSTEE CLEWIS.

[13.I. Discussion and possible action to join Kingsville ISD v. TEA lawsuit - Attorney Kevin O’Hanlon, Presenter]

NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO JOIN KINGSVILLE ISD. T.E.A. RCH.

>> KATRISE PERERA: THING TO IS PRESTON JONES.

I ASKED MR. O'HANLON TO SPEAK TO THIS THIS EVENING, GETTING UP PART OF THIS LAWSUIT AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR OUR DISTRICT TO BE A PART OF THAT. I AM AWARE OF THE PARAMETERS OF IT, I DO BELIEVE AND I WILL SPEAK ON THE RECORD THAT I BELIEVE T.E.A. IS UNFAIR AND WRONG TO CHANGE THE ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDS AFTER THE STUDENTS HAVE TAKEN THEIR PROTEST. YOU CAN'T TOLD ME A TEACHER IN OUR DISTRICT THAT WOULD GIVE AN ASSESSMENT OR A PROJECT AND YOU GIVE THE STUDENTS THE RUBRIC AFTERWARDS IS FAIR.

AND SO THE MAIN REASON I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS LAWSUIT, I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE TO ADD TO THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO LET YOU HAVE IT. >> OVER.

BASICALLY CONCEPT IS SIMPLE. TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 3942 AFTER A SAYS AS FOLLOWS. EACH SCHOOL YEAR, THE COMMISSIONERS ALSO PROVIDE EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT A DOCUMENT IN A SIMPLE ACCESSIBLE FORMAT THAT EXPLAINS THE ACCOUNTABILITY PERFORMANCE MEASURES METHODS AND PROCEDURES THAT WILL BE APPLIED FOR THAT SCHOOL YEAR IN ASSIGNING EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT THE PERFORMANCE READY UNDER 39 OR 50.

SIMPLE FACT IS THAT FOR THE -- JUST PAST 22/23 SCHOOL YEAR, THE COMMISSIONER DID NOT DO THAT. IT IS REALLY JUST THAT SIMPLE.

[02:40:01]

AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, THEY STILL HAVE NOT DONE IT.

THEY ARE STILL TELLING US THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND THEY ARE GOING TO ANNOUNCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR THE NOW COMPLETED 22/23 SCHOOL YEAR WELL INTO 23/24 SCHOOL YEAR AND THE ARGUMENT IS IS THAT THE COMMISSIONER HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS TO NOTIFY THE DISTRICTS.

AND WHAT THEY ARE SEEKING WHAT WE ARE SEEKING IS AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THE COMMISSIONER APPLYING THOSE STANDARDS IN THE ACADEMIC GRADING SYSTEM UNTIL SUCH TIME HAS MET THE SAID STANDARD GIVEN DISTRICT SUFFICIENT NOTICE SO THAT THEY CAN PERFORM THEIR -- PERFORM THEIR.

THIS IS TO THE STANDARDS. THAT HAS JUST BEEN FILED IN STATE, IN TRAVIS COUNTY, AUSTIN. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU AB

ABOARD. >> ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? TRUSTEE STEPHENSON?

>> YES. GIVEN THAT WE ARE ALREADY OTHER RADAR, DON'T EXPECT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

WE ARE ACTUALLY NOT ON THE RADAR QUITE FRANKLY FOR ACADEMIC REASONS. WE ARE ON THE RADAR FOR GOVERNANCE REASONS. THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS CHALLENGE.

THIS IS NOT -- IT IS SIMPLY ASKING THE COMMISSIONER TO FOLLOW THE LAW, FOLLOW THE LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.

IT APPLIES TO EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT, EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BE OR NOT BE THE BENEFICIARY, WHETHER IT COMES OUT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE, THAT IS UP TO YOU. I GOT CONTACTED BY DR. PERERA WHO EXPRESSED AN INWARD INTEREST IN THAT.

HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE.

IF YOU DON'T, IF YOU DON'T WISH TO PARTICIPATE, THE LAWSUITS GOING TO GO ON. AND THE JUDGE IS GOING TO MAKE A RULING WITH RESPECT TO WHETHER THE COMMISSIONER ACTED LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY AND GOING TO THE COURT OF APPEALS AND PROBABLY THE SUPREME COURT BY THE TIME IT IS RESOLVED.

IT MAYBE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND WILL BE INTO WORKING OUT THESE ADOPTED RULES FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IN A TIMELY FASHION.

THE POINT IS IS THAT WE ARE IN A PARTICULAR -- IT IS NOT JUST US.

WE DID NOT START THIS. KINGSVILLE STARTED IT.

BUT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF CONVERSATION.

I HAVE TALKED TO A BUNCH OF LAWYERS OVER THE LAST 10 DAYS WITH RESPECT TO THEIR POSITION ON THIS.

THEY THINK THAT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THEM TO BE HELD AT HIGH-STAKES ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM TO A STANDARD THAT HAS NOT BEEN ARTICULATED. SO IT IS THAT SIMPLE IN TERMS OF WHAT IS OUT THERE. IT IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER IT HAS TREATED US SINGLENESS, OUT UNFAIRLY.

INDIVIDUALLY, LANCASTER ISD TREATED EVERYBODY THE SAME WAY.

BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DISTRICTS THAT INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE QUESTION IS, IF YOU WANT TO

JOIN OR NOT? >> THANK YOU.

SECRETARY MORRIS. >> CAROLYN MORRIS: THANK YOU.

THAT DISTRICT IS A STRONG DISTRICT.

SINCE -- MILITARY BASE THERE IN KINGSVILLE.

AND SO THEY HAVE DOWN IN THAT AREA HAVE UNIVERSITY THAT DOES VERY WELL. I ATTENDED THERE BACK IN THE D DAY. SO I WANT TO SEE IS KINGSVILLE IS DOING THIS, IT DEFINITELY. I WOULD LIKE JOIN THEM.

I WOULD NOT SAY FILE A NEW LAWSUIT SIDE BY SIDE WITH THEM.

BUT JOIN THEM. >> TY JONES: TAKE A, SECRETARY

MORRIS. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: THERE IS A

COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. >> YES.

>> DARYLE CLEWIS: DO WE KNOW WHAT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE JOINED UP UNTIL THAT POINT.

>> WE HAVE 14. >> DARYLE CLEWIS: DO KNOW WHO

THEY ARE OR CAN YOU SAY? >> I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. I CAN TELL YOU SOME OF THEM.

[02:45:01]

KINGSVILLE. CROWLEY.

IN TARRANT COUNTY. THOSE ARE THE ONES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT HAVE SPOKEN TO THE LAST DAY.

THE WAY THAT WE GOING TO TWO IT IS WE'RE GOING TO CHARGE AN HOURLY HOURLY FEE. THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS THAT ARE IN. WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYBODY PAY THE SAME FEE. IT IS THAT YOUR SHARE GOES DOWN IN TERMS OF THAT. SO IF THERE'S ENOUGH DISTRICTS INVOLVED, THERE WILL BE -- IT WILL GO DOWN.

IT IS ANOTHER GROUP OF DISTRICTS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERING INTERVIEWING WHICH ARE THE DALLAS DOES NOT HOUSTON.

THEY ARE -- BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF LARGE DISTRICTS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERING INTERVENING. I BELIEVE IT IS NOT THAT ONE.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER DISTRICTS IN COLLIN COUNTY THAT HAVE -- THAT ARE IN AS WELL. SO CLOSE, AND NEVER THAT WE ANTICIPATE THAT WILL EITHER BE OTHER DISTRICTS SIGNING UP OR INNOVATING IN TERMS OF THAT. SO THE ADMINISTRATORS ASSOCIATION IS -- IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS FAIR AND IF SO -- THE POSITION OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THINK THAT IT IS NOT. THE SUPREME COURT HAS --

>> TY JONES: EXCUSE ME. I KNOW YOU GOT A LOT ON THIS TARGET. THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED.

14 RIGHT NOW AND PROBABLY MORE. OKAY?

>> 14 RIGHT NOW. THERE'S ANOTHER 30 LOOKING AT

IT. >> TY JONES: THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM WITH FIELD?

>> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: THE QUESTION WAS IS THERE A COST.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY FOUR -- YOU ARE

THE -- THE ATTORNEY ON THIS. >> LEAD COUNSEL ON THIS.

IN THE LAWSUIT, WE CHARGE AN HOURLY RATE FOR LITIGATION.

WE WILL TAKE THAT DIVIDE BY THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE CASE. SO THE MORE IT IS, THE LESS IT IS FOR EACH DISTRICT THAT PARTICIPATES.

THERE'S NO APPRECIABLE -- ELECTRONIC MEDICATIONS.

THERE'S NO APPRECIABLE IN ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE DISTRICTS TO CASE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MAKING COPIES FOR EVERYONE WHO IS IN THE E-MAILS AND THE KIND OF STUFF.

IT IS NOT LINK HAS TO HAVE A BUNCH MORE.

HE JUST DIVIDES THE FEES. THE ULTIMATE COST FOR THIS WILL BE A FUNCTION OF WHETHER OR NOT WITH WE GOT TO SEE IF WE SMOKED EARLY IN THE DISTRICT COURT IN TRAVIS COUNTY, IT WON'T COST VERY MUCH. IF HE DRAGS OUT TO THE SUPREME COURT AND THERE'S ARGUMENTS BACK AND FORTH, IT WILL COST -- WE HAVE DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH HOUSTON TO VARIOUS STUFF, WITH A NUMBER OF THINGS. WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH LITIGATION AGAINST THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND BEFORE THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR 8 YEARS.

WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS AND I CAN'T PREDICT HOW MUCH IT IS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO AS TO WHETHER T.E.A. WILL END UP WORKING SOMETHING OUT.

I DOUBT IT. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.

>> THANK YOU. WHEN DID AND TO LEARN ABOUT T THIS? THIS REQUEST FROM KINGSVILLE? WHEN WAS IT INITIALLY BROUGHT TO LANCASTER?

>> WHEN WAS THE LAWSUIT FILED? >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: THE REQUEST

TO GO IN. >> WHAT DID KINGSVILLE AS TO LOOK INTO IT? ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN KIND OF RESEARCHING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE BACKGROUND OF THIS AND WE HAVE NOT GONE OUT AND SOLICITED CLIENTS. BUT WE HAVE BEEN -- KINGSVILLE THANKS TALK TO THE FOLKS WHO TALK TO THE SERVICE CENTERS.

THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE TALKED TO THEIR MEMBERS. SO IT IS KIND OF GROWING BY ITS OWN. WE HAVE NOT —-DASH WE HAVE NOT

[02:50:02]

BEATEN THE DRUMS IN ORDER TO LOOK FOR PEOPLE.

DR. PERERA ASKED -- INDICATE TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS.

I TOLD HER ABOUT IT AND SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT TO SEE WHETHER THE BOARD WANTS TO DO IT. SO IT IS A FUNCTION OF THE

DISTRICT. >> ALL RIGHT.

THEY GIVE. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS?

TRUSTEE STEPHENSON? >> GREGORY STEPHENSON: CONVERTIB LE, KINGSVILLE IS NOT A STRONG DISTRICT.

THEY RECENTLY REBOUNDED FROM -- SO THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE AT STAKE. THE SECOND THING IS WHATEVER CHANGES ARE MADE, THE EFFECT ALL THIS WORKS EQUALLY.

EQUALLY. SO ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TAKE CARE OF OUR BUSINESS, OUR CONDITION WOULD BE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN BUSINESS AND LET THEM TAKE CARE OF THIS.

>> WITH RESPECT, THE RULE WILL BE APPLIED TO WHATEVER THE RULES WILL BE APPLIED. BUT IN FACT, THE EVIDENCE IS SO FAR THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT IS THAT IT DOES NOT AFFECT ALL DISTRICTS EQUALLY AND QUITE FRANKLY, AS IS THE IMPOSITION OF THE STANDARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ARE GOING TO AFFECT DISTRICTS AND ACTUALLY AS IMPORTANTLY, IF NOT MORE SO, CAMPUSES WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, MUCH HARDER THEN IF CAMPUSES WITHOUT. THAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM. IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS.

SO IT IS NOT GOING TO EVERYBODY EVENLY BECAUSE THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH ACROSS VARIOUS CLASSROOMS AND CAMPUSES AND DISTRICTS IN THE STATE IS NOT EQUAL.

I WILL TAKE THIS, OTHER FACTORS THAT I THINK PERSONAL WEALTH OF THE STUDENT OR THEIR FAMILIES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE PREDICTED OUTCOME OF THIS AND THE CAMPUS SUCCESS.

>> TY JONES: THANK YOU. >> LOOK AT THE --

>> IT IS PROBABLY BETTER THESE DAYS.

>> I JUST WANT A TO SAY THAT AGAIN, AS YOU WILL SEE IN ONE OF MY UPDATES ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE WENT UP IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT IF YOU APPLY THIS YOU CAN GET THIS PAST YEAR'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, WE WILL HAVE PERFORMED WELL. BUT WHEN YOU TAKE THOSE OUTCOMES AND APPLY TO WHAT WE KNOW ALREADY ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, LIKE CCMR, LAST YEAR, THE A LEVEL WAS AT 60.

RIGHT? WHICH JUST WAS CLARIFIED AND CONFIRMED YESTERDAY, FROM A SAFETY TO AN 88.

THAT IS UNFAIR AND IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE TEACHERS AND MY STUDENTS WHO WORKED VERY HARD ALL YEAR LONG TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MEETING STATE STANDARDS.

WHO DO NOT GIVE AN ASSESSMENT PROJECT ASSIGNMENT AND GIVE THE PARAMETERS AFTER. YOU GIVE IT BEFORE AND YOU EXPLAIN THOSE THINGS AS THE STATE HAS DONE.

MOST STATES WILL CHANGE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS WHICH IS GREAT. BUT YOU DO IT INCREMENTALLY.

YOU DON'T GO FROM A 60 TO AN 88 TO MEET THAT STANDARD.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND I'M JUST GOING TO SAY, IT IS ALSO A POLITICAL. VERY MUCH POLITICAL THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF FACTORS. HE CAN'T COME YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE A KID A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A VOUCHER TO THE CONSUMER OR TAKE FROM THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THOSE WHO SAY ONLY GET 6100. I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS TO EXPLAIN THAT TO MAKE A WANTED TO FIGHT ON BEHALF ON MY STUDENTS.

IS WHY I ASKED. I DID GET THE INFORMATION ON AUGUST 15TH IS WHAT I HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT KINGSVILLE ISD AND PROBABLY CALL WHEN I SAW HE WAS HE WAS THE LEAD TO SEE IF THERE WAS STILL TIME FOR US TO JOIN AND BRING INTO THE BOARD.

>> THANK YOU. SOME QUESTIONS, COMMENTS THAT I WILL ADD MY LITTLE THREE CENTS WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

I SPENT A DECADE REVIEWING THE STUFF IN THE NEIGHBORING DISTRICT AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IS THE ACCOUNT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CHANGES.

IT DEFINITELY IMPACTS US ON THAT SIDE.

SO AS WAS MENTIONED ON THE PRESENTATIONS EARLIER, IF THERE ARE CERTAIN CHANGES MADE WERE NO, IT WILL IMPACT US MEETING THOSE STANDARDS AND LAST YEAR, WE WERE AND WE PLACE.

I KNOW WE ARE A A+ DISTRICT. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE DIFFERENT PARAMETERS AND MAKE SURE WE ARE PLANNING OUR VOICE TO THE DISCUSSION. THIS IS -- DO I HAVE EMOTION?

[02:55:04]

PROPERTY. >> MR. PRESIDENT.

I MOVE THAT WE TAKE ACTION AND JOIN THE LAWSUIT.

>> MOTION BY KIRSTY SMITH. SECOND BY VICE PRESIDENT JONES.

TAKE A VOTE.

THE MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE ARE IN THIS THING, TOO. ALL RIGHT.

ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARD TO BE PUT IN PLACE AND IF THEY ARE NOT DONE, ARE RESPECT TO DR. FANS FOR.

WE ARE GOING TO REQUEST A CONSERVATIVE TO WORK WITH WITH WHERE WE ARE AT. ROAD, SO OUR AGENDA IS KIND OF ABOUT EVERYTHING NOW. SO NABY KEITA DOES GIVE ME A COUPLE OF SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE GOING NEXT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT WE WILL GO NOW IS GO TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT ON THE AGENDA. YOU GUYS CLIENT NUMBER 10.

WE WILL GO THERE. TAKE CARE OF THESE ITEMS AND THEN WE WILL GO TO A CLOSE AND ALL RIGHT.

[10.A. Toyota Internship Update - Cedric Hudspeth]

SO FIRST ITEM IS TOYOTA INTERNSHIP UPDATE.

AND AFTER THAT, WE HAVE THE SCHOOL REOPENING ENROLLMENT AND STAFFING UPDATE AND THEN PERFORMANCE UPDATE GRADES THREE THROUGH EIGHT ON THE. SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL

OF THOSE, AS YOU WILL -- >> THANK YOU, ARE GOING TO CALL FORWARD -- THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU ALL IF YOU RECALL, THE YOUNG MAN FROM FORD -- TOYOTA INTERNSHIP WAS HERE EARLIER AND I LET HIM GO HOME SO HE COULD GO TO CLASS TOMORROW.

[10.B. School Reopening, Enrollment and Staffing Update (G1, G3, G4), Dr. Cassandra Barker, Presenter]

BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING HIM.

AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL REOPENING AND STAFFING, WHAT I HAVE ASKED EVERY OFFICE AFTER WE OPEN, I USUALLY GIVE AN UPDATE AT THIS MEETING. BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE NUMBERS WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED UNTIL THE OCTOBER 1 DATE.

AND SO I WANT NEED TO SEE WHERE WE ARE, THOUGH, WITH IN A

[10.C. STAAR Performance Update - Grades 3-8 only (G1), Dr. Cassandra Barker, Presenter]

MOMENT. AND WE WILL WRITE INTO STAR PERFORMANCE WHICH IS GOING TO HOWLETT EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE

JUST DISCUSSING. >> CASSANDRA BARKER: GOOD EVENING. I'M THE VICE CHAIR AND HE STEAMED TOWARD MEMBERS, DR. PERERA, JUST WANT TO, FELLOW UPDATE ABOUT OUR ENROLLMENT AND I WILL TALK ABOUT STAFFING AS WELL. SO IN THE FIRST WEEK TO HERE, I HAVE PRESENTED TO YOU THE MOMENT BY GRADE BY DATE.

ON THE VERY FIRST DAY, WE STARTED WITH AND THIS IS OUR WARM BODY CAN TAKE ACTUAL STUDENTS THAT WE HAD IN OUR BUILDING, ON THE FIRST DAY, WE HAD ALMOST 6200 STUDENTS.

IF YOU PASS BY, I KNOW A COUPLE OF YOU CAME BY AND DID THE WELCOME AND THEN BY THE ENROLLMENT CENTER, ENROLLING IN LANCASTER, HE HAD PEOPLE ON THE WAY OUT TO DALLAS.

WE HAD TO HAVE A MAKESHIFT. WE OPENED UP ANOTHER IN A MOMENT SITE WHICH WAS HERE. 100 DEGREES AT WEEK AND WE PULLED STAFF AND WE ENROLLED MORE STUDENTS.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE OF THE SECOND DAY, WARM BODY COUNT IN OUR BUILDING. WE HAD 6500 STUDENTS.

THAT NUMBER CONTINUED TO GROW THIS WEEK.

AND AS OF TODAY, WE HAD 7,118 STUDENTS IN OUR BUILDING.

THIS IS ACCREDITED TO WE HAVE LOTS OF STUDENTS COMING BACK FROM DIFFERENT PLACES. ALSO SKEWS ME.

MANY OF THE SURROUNDING TO SCHOOLS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE NATIONAL TEACHING SHORTAGE. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE SOMETIMES DIFFERENT -- I WOULD WANT TO SAY STANDARDS BUT DIFFERENT REGULATIONS AS TO WHO THEY CAN HIRE TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND SO BECAUSE OF OUR EFFORTS BY HR TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE HIGHLY QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN OUR CLASSROOMS, WE FEEL LIKE THAT IS HELPING OUR STUDENTS COME BACK. ONE TO POINT THAT WE HAVE NOT PRESENTED TO YOU HAS BEEN THE OPEN ENROLLMENT INFORMATION.

SO TOTAL, IF YOU LOOK AT OPEN ENROLLMENT, AND THIS IS ONLY FROM THE FIRST WEEK. WE HAVE ABOUT 10% OF OUR STUDENT BODY IS HERE FROM OPEN ENROLLMENT.

AND SO I THINK THERE'S A PERCEPTION OUT THAT WE HAVE MORE

[03:00:03]

THAN 10% OF OUR STUDENTS THAT COME FROM OTHER PLACES.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS, 90% OF OUR STUDENTS LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. MANY TIMES NOT WITH THEIR PARENTS, WITH THEIR GRAND GRANDPARENTS, THEY DO LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AS FAR AS WHAT OUR RECORDS SHOW.

RIGHT NOW, SPEAKING WITH DR. TAYLOR, OUR VACANCIES, WE HAVE ABOUT 35 VACANCIES BUT NOW, NOTICE I MENTIONED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR BUILDING TODAY.

701,800 SHE WAS A LITTLE HESITANT TO GIVE ME THAT NUMBER BECAUSE WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TALK ABOUT WE MAY HAVE TO ADD TEACHERS OR AT LEAST TEACHING POSITIONS IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND SO THAT NUMBER LIKELY WILL INCREASE ONCE WE GET INTO THE PARK, FEELING VERY COMFORTABLE ABOUT OUR INVOLVEMENT BEING STABLE ENOUGH TO DO THAT. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA POSITIONS BUILT INTO THE BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED.

SO WE WILL NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU TO SAY, HEY, WE NEED MORE MONEY TO HIRE MORE TEACHERS. THAT IS ALREADY BUILT INTO OUR BUDGET. SO FIRST-WEEK OF IN A MOMENT, THIS IS WHAT WE HAD, 6857. AND AS OF TODAY, WE HAD SOME THOUSAND 18 STUDENTS. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> TY JONES: HEARING NONE. >> CASSANDRA BARKER: I WILL MOVE TO MY NEXT PART. THAT IS THE STAR ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE. AND SO WE DID WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE STAR ACCOUNTABILITY UPDATE, ONE THING THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS YEAR THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM IS? IS THAT BY NOW, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SCHOOL DECISIONS WITH OUR STUDENT.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT. SO IT HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING TRYING TO MAKE ARE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLANS, OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS, WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA AS DR. PERERA MENTIONED. WE RECEIVED ONE DATA POINTS YESTERDAY. AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER PLAYED. IF YOU LOOK ACROSS WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE TOOK WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR WITH OUR 88 AND WE LOOK -- USED THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND REINSERTED OUR THIS YEAR'S PERFORMANCE. AND THEN IN THE ORANGE, WE HAVE THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM WITH THIS YEAR'S PERFORMANCE.

SO I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT IS HERE.

AND I WILL BE TALKING THROUGH SCALE SCORE.

SO THERE'S A FORMALLY AND THEY SCALE THE SCORE AND YOU FIND OUT, LIKE, WHAT YOUR SCORE IS PUT SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THAT IS WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR.

IF WE WERE TO HAVE THE SAME ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND ALSO SOMETHING TO YOU NEED TO KNOW THE ACTUAL ASSESSMENT CHANGE AS WELL. AND SO I LIVED IN THE ASSESSMENT WORLD, THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT ROAD FOR 10 YEARS.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT IS UNHEARD OF.

MOST WILL COME AND SAY THAT YOU GET THE ASSESSMENT.

YOU SEE KIND OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.

YOU NORMAL TO AND ARE NOW THIS IS WHAT -- WHEN YOU IGNORE IT, THIS IS HOW STUDENTS GENERALLY PERFORM.

THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GOT A NEW ASSESSMENT AND HEY, YOUR CURRICULUM NEEDS TO PICK UP.

THTHIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE IN PART OF THOSE ASSESSMENTS, PART OF THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM. WE DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT IT UNTIL SAY, FEBRUARY. AND WE TOLD YOU THE UPDATES AS WE RECEIVE THEM. TAKING OUR ASSESSMENT PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENT IN THE OLD SYSTEM, WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT 81, WHICH IS 83% DROP, A THREE-POINT REP.

IN THE NEW SYSTEM, IT IS SCALED AT A 79, WHICH IS A FIVE PARK TOPIC WE WERE TOLD BY THE COMMISSIONER TO EXPECT A DROP.

AND SO WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH YOU ON SEVERAL OF THE COMMISSIONER'S CALLS AND IF YOU LOOK AT HISTORIC DATA WHEN TEXAS CHANGES THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM, THERE IS A BOUNCE DOWN AND THEN YOU BOUNCE BACK UP. THE STAR PERFORMANCE AND THIS DATA POINTS VERY INSTINCTIVELY BECAUSE USING THE STAR PERFORMANCE WE HAD, GO TO THE SCALE SCORE ON THE OLD SYSTEM.

WE WOULD HAVE SCORED 860. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DRIVE.

ON NO ONE WE ACTUALLY SHOWED AN INCREASE FOR GROWTH.

SO I'M VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE ACADEMIC GROWTH PIECES BECAUSE IT SHOULD INDICATE THAT THERE'S SOME GROWTH. THE PARK THAT DR. PERERA WAS TALKING ABOUT AND MR. BIG CAME UP TO TALK ABOUT CCMR, YOU WILL

[03:05:07]

NOTICE THAT OUR SCALE SCORE AS THERE WAS A 93.

AND I HAVE A NOTE UNDERNEATH THAT WE ARE CHARGED WITH MAKING SURE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS GRADUATE COLLEGE CCMR READY.

71% OF OUR CLASS OF 2021 WAS —-DASH HAD A CCMR INDICATOR THAT IS 93. NOTICE IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM THAT WAS FOR 2022 BUT THE DATA IS BLANK LATER.

OKAY? SO THIS YEAR, WE USE THE CLASS OF 2022, OKAY? FOR 2023 ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.

IF YOU NOTICE, 78% OF THAT CLASS HAD A CCMR INDICATOR.

COLLEGE CREDIT, MILITARY CRITICAL CREDENTIAL FROM FROM CTE, WE INCREASE AND IT WAS ALMOST 400 STUDENTS BECAUSE THAT CLASS WAS 503. NOW, WHAT IS INTERESTING TO ME, WELL, I WILL TALK ABOUT THE SCALES.

YOU GET AN 80. THAT IS A DROP FROM LAST YEAR.

THAT IS THE SCORE THAT WE RECEIVED YESTERDAY.

KNOCK IT NOTICE IT IS BASED ON THE CLASS OF 2022.

THEY HAVE HAD THAT THEY THE POINT HER FOR YEAR BUT WE ARE JUST GETTING THIS PART OF THE SCALE.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THE KINGSVILLE MOVEMENT WITH SOME OF THOSE DISTRICTS, THIS IS PART OF WHY WE FEEL THAT IT IS UNFAIR. OUR DATA HAS BEEN SITTING IN AUSTIN. HAS BEEN SITTING THERE.

THEY HAD A CHANCE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO DO WITH THE SCALE AND THEN SAY, NOW WE ARE AT A RED.

OKAY, NOW THEY CAN TAKE WHAT THEY HAVE AND THE SCALE SCORE IS THERE BECAUSE WE KNEW WE HAD ASSUMED 8% OF ARCADES WHO HAD THE INDICATOR IN MAY OF 2022 WHEN THEY GRADUATED.

IN MAY. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS THOSE POP NOW, WE CAN ALREADY SAY THAT THE CLASS OF 2023, IT IS MORE THAN 78%. WE WERE SITTING ON A ZOOM TRYING TO GO TO BUT NOW WE HAVE SCALE SCORE.

WE KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME. WE DID NOT HAVE THOSE RULES LAST YEAR. GRADUATION RATE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TARGET FOR US TO HAVE 100% OF OUR STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IF HE IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR AND HELPING THEM WRITE A PAPER TO GET A STUDENT TO GRADUATE FOR THEIR NEXT STEP AND SO WITH THAT, THERE WAS NO CHANGE.

THE REST OF THE INFORMATION THERE, WE DON'T HAVE IT YET.

SO I WILL HAVE TO COME TO YOU AT ANOTHER TIME WHENEVER THE INFORMATION IS RELEASED. WE DON'T HAVE IT YET.

SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR RATING IS.

AND I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SAT THROUGH THE IP AND THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KIND OF SET FOR IMPROVEMENT WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW MANY OF THE DATA POINTS THAT HELP US TO MOVE IN THAT WAY? OR SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT THE OLD ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM AND I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER, I'M SORRY, THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM FOR YOU TO KNOW, I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER, THERE IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSION HERE, THERE HAS BEEN THIS PIECE OF MISINFORMATION THAT ONE OR TWO CAMPUSES HAVE CARRIED THE DISTRICT IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN 88 OR, IN THIS CAMPUS IS HERE AND THIS IS WHY.

THAT IS UNTRUE. THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TRUE.

THE OLD ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, EVERY CAMPUS WAS WEIGHED IS EQUALLY. SO WE HAVE NINE CAMPUSES.

THEIR SUPPORT WAS 19 OF WHAT OUR RATING WAS.

OKAY? OTHER THAN THE CCMR PIECE.

IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, THE SCHOOLS ARE PROPORTIONATELY WEIGHTED. DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THAT SCHOOL. SO WHAT IS OUR LARGEST SCHOOL? THERE'S ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT I CANNOT GET A CHANCE TO GO BACK AND ADD TO THIS POWERPOINT BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT AND KISSED HER HIGH SCHOOL, THAT INCLUDES ALABAMA.

THAT INCLUDES JD HALL IF OUR STUDENTS ARE THERE.

THAT INCLUDES THE COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL AND IT INCLUDES THE

[03:10:04]

EARLY COLLEGE. THAT IS WHY IT SAYS NINE TO 12.

SO ALL OF THE STUDENTS. THAT IS OUR LARGEST SCHOOL.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IN THAT SCHOOL IS 42% OF THE WEIGHT OF THE DISTRICT. IN THE PAST, NOT JUST IN THIS DISTRICT BUT EVEN NATIONALLY, PEOPLE PLAYED AT THE ELEMENTARY GAME. LET'S GET OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TOGETHER AND THEN IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE WILL PRAY ABOUT IT. NO, I WILL TELL YOU, AND A SECONDARY PERSON, THIS PART, ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKE THIS PART BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO PAY A ATTENTION TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR STUDENTS. ALL OF THEM.

ALL 7,018 OF THEM. MATTER.

IN THIS. SO EVEN WITH OUR ISSUE WITH THE WHOLE KINGSVILLE PIECE, IT IS NOT THAT WE DON'T LIKE IT.

WE JUST WANT TO KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL, OUR TEACHERS ARE SUCCESSFUL AND OUR DISTRICT IS A SUCCESSFUL.

WHEN I SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT MATH, ABOUT IMPACT LEARNING TO LOOK AT GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER. NOT ALMOST 10% OF OUR STUDENTS.

LOOK AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. 21%, ALREADY AT OVER 30% AND THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL. 42%.

THAT IS OUR THREE QUARTERS OF THE DISTRICT'S WEIGHT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. IT WILL BE HELD BY WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR BUILDINGS WITH OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE SIXTH GRADE AND ABOVE. SO I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF SHOW THIS TO YOU BECAUSE EVEN REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH KINGSVILLE. THIS IS A PART OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM THAT WE WILL LIVE WITH UNTIL THE STATE DECIDES TO CHANGE IT AGAIN. BUT AS I MENTIONED, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR STUDENTS, EVERY SINGLE ONE, THERE IS NO GAINING OR ANYTHING AND THE PRINCIPLES WILL TELL YOU SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE, WE HAVE KIND OF FUNCTION LIKE 12 DIFFERENT, 12 DIFFERENT CHARTER SCHOOLS BUT NOW WE ARE KIND OF MARCHING ALTOGETHER AND WATCHING OUR STUDENTS AS THEY GO TO OUR DISTRICT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU CHARGE US TO DO. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

SO I ADDED THAT JOE SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE PART OF THE GAME THAT WE DO KNOW EXISTS FOR THIS YEAR.

IT IS LIKE A CCMR PIECE. WE KNOW IT EXISTS.

AND THIS IS WHAT WILL BE WORKING TOWARDS.

SO AS WE DID GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD OUR BUDGET, THIS WAS INFORMATION THAT WAS USED. WE WILL BE ADJUSTING AS WE NEED TO AS DATA COMES IN AND WE ARE ABLE TO CLEAN THAT DATA.

WE WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU AS WE GET IT.

WE WILL SHARE WITH OUR PUBLIC SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE CHOICES WE ARE MAKING WITH OUR STUDENTS AND AT THIS TIME, I

WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. >> TY JONES: ANY QUESTIONS?

SECRETARY MORRIS. >> CAROLYN MORRIS: I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. DO YOU FEEL THE REASON THAT THIS ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IS LIKE IT IS IN THE WAY THAT IT IS GOING IS BECAUSE THE STATE IS LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, IS REALLY -- YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED TO -- BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WE HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.

SO YOU THINK THE TREND IS MORE SO TO BE LIKE -- AND PUT IT

HARDER ON US? >> CASSANDRA BARKER: I'M GOING TO SAY WHAT THE COMMISSIONER SAID IN THE COMMISSIONER'S MEETING THAT THIS WAS AN THIS IS AN EFFORT TO RAISE THE BAR AND SO I THINK THE CHANGE IS FOR THAT.

I WILL SAY IN THE ACTUAL ASSESSMENT, THERE IS SOME CHANGES, THE ACTUAL ASSESSMENT AS EVOLVED.

IT IS MORE ONLINE. THERE IS -- MORE THAN IT HAS BEEN BEFORE. I THINK THE STANDARDS THAT WE SEE THAT HAPPY -- THEY HAVE BEEN RAISED.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TO BE MORE LIKE CHARTER SCHOOLS, I'M TRYING TO BE VERY POLITICALLY CORRECT.

I THINK IT IS TO RAISE THE BAR. I THINK FOR US, THE FUEL BEHIND HOW THE ROLLOUT WAS, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MISSTEPS THERE. WE SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE. I HAVE -- FOR JOINING THE SUIT BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE OFTEN DAMAGE COLLATERAL BY SOMETIMES

[03:15:02]

THINGS THAT ARE ROLLED OUT WITH HASTE AND NOT WITH A LOT OF THOUGHT. AND SO IS T THE HE CAN BE SYSTEM AND THE ASSESSMENTS A GOOD THING? I DO THINK SO. I THINK THE ROLE IS WHERE IT W

WAS. >> SO THEY INTERPRETATION IS ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS OR WHATEVER.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? I WILL HOLD MINE.

BECAUSE THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE NEW DECORATIONS AND TO MAN 12, AND

IT IS A LOT DIFFERENT. >> IT IS WAIT-AND-SEE.

>> WE WILL GO TO NEXT ITEM. THAT IS RIGHT.

[11.A. Operations Updates - Roger Oster, Presenter]

NEXT, WE HAVE OUR INFORMATION ITEMS.

WE HAVE OPERATIONS UPDATE. >> KATRISE PERERA: YES, THANK YOU, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH OPERATIONS.

I JUST WANT TO PUT THE NUGGET OUT THERE.

AS YOU DECIDE THAT DATA SHOULD BE ONE OF YOUR FIRST BECAUSE IF DATA COMES IN, WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU IN A DIFFERENT SETTING. I THINK YOU HAD SOME OPERATION UPDATES. I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE

TO SHARE TODAY. >> GOOD EVENING, VICE PRESIDENT JONES AND DISTINGUISHED BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR. CREAR-PERRY SINCE MY LAST UPDATE, JULY 27TH, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS HAS BEEN WORKING HARD STAYING ON TOP OF REQUESTS COMPLETING A NUMBER OF HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL COLISEUM AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW SOFTWARE FOR REQUESTS AND RESERVATIONS TRANSPORTATION ALSO FINISH THE INSTALLATION OF NEW SOFTWARE EQUIPMENT TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY IN STUDENT SA SAFETY. WE RECEIVED OUR NEW AFTER YOUR APPROVAL JULY 27 AND USED IT WITH THE UNIFICATION PROJECTS

THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. >> THE PURCHASE BELOW ARE PALM TREES THAT WE PLANTED. THE PICTURE ON TOP ARE SOME SMALLER RACKS. REASSEMBLED AROUND THE LOWER ROOF SECTION OF THE BUILDING. THE PICTURES ON THE LOWER RIGHT ARE THE NEW COATING THAT HAS A 10-YEAR DURABILITY WARRANTY ON IT THAT IS THROUGH ROLLING HILLS ELEMENTARY.

SAVING US TIME STRIPPING AND WAXING THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND NEXT SUMMER, WE PLAN ON DOING ANOTHER ONE AND MAYBE TWO DEPENDING ON HOW THIS ONE GOES. IS, OF THE EXAMPLES OF THE PROJECTS COMPLETED BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED.

ON THE LEFT THERE, YOU SEE THE PLAYGROUNDS AND SOME NEW WOODCHIP, MULCH, AND FIXING SOME RESTROOM DAMAGES AND FRESHENING UP OUR KITCHENS AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESTRICT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE MAJORITY OF THAT ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN ALL THE CARS ARE GONE.

HERE WE HAVE THE -- ON THE LEFT, STARTING FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT, SOME 10 THAT WE PUT UP WITH THEY ARE VERY FOR THE HELP WITH THE PROTECTION OF OUR TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT.

SOME CLASS THAT WE REPLACED IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT GOT BUSTED OUT ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND THEN AT CARVER, WE HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE GRASS. IT WAS PLEXIGLASS.

SO NOW IT HAS REAL GRASS IN IT AND SHE REALLY CAN DO THE SAFETY RESISTING FILM ON THAT SCHOOL. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE NEW CARPET, THE ATHLETIC AREA GOT AROUND THE COLOSSEUM THERE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN TO ANY OF THE CAMPUSES, YOU WILL SEE WE DID A LOT OF BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS TAKING CARE OF THE LANDSCAPE. SO IT IS PRESENT ONE AND NEXT TO THE WEST MAINE. AND TO CONTINUE TO ON THE FAR LEFT IS THE FIRST TWO AND THE LAST ONE THERE IS DIFFERENT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO PROJECTS IN PROGRESS WITH

[03:20:09]

SCHOOL AND MOTION, DEDICATED TO COMPLETING THE LISTED ITEMS IN A TIMELY MANNER. ARE A FEW BEING THE ATHLETICS, THE UPGRADE, THE PROJECTS AND 99.9%.

WE ARE JUST FINISHING UP THE LAST BITS OF THE PROJECT AND THAT IS AT THE AUDITORIUM MOSTLY FOR FINE ARTS, GETTING THE NEW L.E.D. LIGHTS. THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE TO BE PLANNED AND WAITING ON SOME MINOR DETAILS.

THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE WHERE WE REDUCED OUR CONCEPTION AND SAVED IN ELECTRICITY CHARGES. AND I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE SET THE NICK MOSLEY COMPLETION AVERAGE OF 291 RECORDERS FOR THE 232/2023 SCHOOL YEAR, ACCORDING TO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.

WE HAVE COMPLETED MORE WORK ORDERS AND THOUSAND 493 MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, 74% INCREASE TO THE HERBICIDE YEAR.

>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> TY JONES: OKAY ALL RIGHT, NO QUESTIONS. WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT

QUESTION. >> THANK YOU.

>> NO PROBLEM. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[11.B. Administrative Display Case Update - Kimberly Simpson]

SORRY. I'M SORRY.

YES, WE HAVE THE UPDATE. >> BEFORE CHARGES DISTRICT WAS FINDING OUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO, OR MISTREATED'S DISPLAY CASES AND WE FORMED A COMMITTEE THAT INVOLVES COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL AS ROGER AND COMMITTEE MEMBER, SHE HAS AN UPDATE BASICALLY KIND OF THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION.

>> GOOD EVENING, VICE PRESIDENT, DR. CREAR-PERRY ON AUGUST 30, 22, YOU ASKED DR. TO REFORM A COMMITTEE AND THE ADMISSION BUILDING, NEED THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS WERE HELD.

NOVEMBER 1ST, 2022 AND ON JANUARY 18, A MEETING WITH THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION WAS ALSO HELD.

BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THE MEETINGS, THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE WERE AS FOLLOWS.

RECOMMENDATION ONE, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PRESERVING AND STORING CURRENT ITEMS IN A STORAGE FACILITY.

RECOMMENDATION TWO, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ESTABLISHING A CHECKOUT SYSTEM THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT REGULATION THREE, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED CREATING AN ALUMNI WEBSITE AND DIGITIZING THE CURRENT ITEMS ASSIGNED TO THE DISPLAY CASE TO CREATE A VIRTUAL MUSEUM.

ORGANIZATION FOUR, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ESTABLISHING TALENTS TO UPDATE THE DISPLAY CASES EVERY YEAR TO ENSURE CURRENT DISTRICT ENCOURAGEMENTS AND HALIDES ARE RECITED IN THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND REGULATION FIVE, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ASSIGNING EACH DISPLAY CASE A SPECIFIC TOPIC TO INCLUDE ALL DISTRICT SUCCESSES AND WORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THIS SUMMER, THE PROJECT BEGAN IN THE HARD-WORKING SUMMER STARTED THE PROCESS OF ARCHIVING ALL OF THE DISPLAY CASE ITEMS. THEY ALSO TOOK PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM AND WRAP THEM CAREFULLY SO THAT THEY ARE PRESERVED. THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IS NOW GOING TO EACH OF THE PHOTOS TO ADD A DESCRIPTION FOR THE ARCHIVE FOR THE PHOTOS TO BE PLACED.

OUR FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS GATHERING ITEMS FROM EACH CAMPUS AND DEPARTMENT TO HAVE A SECTION TO BE HAD TO BACK WE RECEIVED SEVERAL ITEMS AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PLACING THEM INSIDE THE DISPLAY CASES THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.

ALSO, WE ARE, TO CREATE A DIGITAL MUSEUM THAT WILL FEATURE EACH OF THE ITEMS IN THE DISPLAY CASE THAT WERE FIRMLY IN THE DISPLAY CASE AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO CHECK THEM OUT IF THEY SO CHOOSE. OUR TIMELINE IS AS FOLLOWS.

AUGUST THROUGH NOVEMBER, WE ARE ADDING NEW ITEMS TO DISPLAY CASES. THAT WE ARE RECEIVING FROM THE CAMPUSES AND STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.

WE'RE LAUNCHING A NEW DIGITAL WEBSITE SO THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN SEE THE ITEMS THAT WERE FORMALLY INSIDE THE DISPLAY CASES AND WE ARE WATCHING THE TICKER PROCESS BECAUSE I WAS CONVEYED TO US THAT THEY STILL WANTED TO TRY TO ACCESS TO THE ITEMS WHERE THEY HOST IT EVERY TWO YEARS. AND THIS IS HOW IT STARTED AND THIS IS THE WORK IN PROGRESS. SO THEY ARE EMPTY NOW BUT HOPEFULLY WITHIN A MONTH, THEY WILL BE FILLED IN WITH ITEMS THAT ARE CURRENT AND REFLECT THE CURRENT SUCCESS STORIES THAT ARE HAPPENING INSIDE LANCASTER ISD. THANK YOU.

[03:25:04]

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. SIMPSON?

[12. Adoption of Consent Agenda]

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEMS WE HAVE ARE THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. KNOWS WE HAVE A TOTAL OF NINE.

THEY ARE ON THE SCREEN. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, ARE YOU.

ANY OF THOSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO -- >> TY JONES: VICE PRESIDENT.

>> I'M, VICE PRESIDENT. >> I WOULD LIKE -- BUT BEFORE I PULL IT, 12B, AGAIN, IT WAS THE SAME AS 13B.

>> TY JONES: THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION WAS PUTTING B.

I THINK THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN FOR US

TO GO TO THAT. >> LET'S VIEW THE INFORMATION.

>> ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO POOL 12F, 12G,.

>> I GOT YOU. >> OKAY.

SO LET ME BE CLEAR. SO B.

C. F.

AND G. >> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE -- I WOULD LIKE TO POOL ITEMS ON THEIR AGENDAS BEFORE -- 12. SO DO I HAVE THE MOTION TO --

>> I WOULD LIKE TO POOL -- >> NRI.

GOT YOU ALL. OKAY.

SO ALL RIGHT. SO NOW, DO I HAVE THE MOTION TO ADOPT THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS A, D, AND E?

PROVIDE EMOTION? >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT -- TO PROVE, I'M SORRY.

I MOVE TO UP WITH ITEMS A, D, AND B.

>> TY JONES: EMOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE. ALL OPPOSE, SAY THE SAME.

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

ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, THE MOTION CAR CARRIES. I WILL NOW WE GO TO THE ITEMS THAT WERE REQUESTED, WHICH WERE ITEM B.

DO WE HAVE THOSE ON THE SCREEN? ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. AND AGAIN, I THINK THE ARGUMENT HERE IS THAT IT WAS NOT UPLOADED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO AN OVERVIEW OF THE INFORMATION.

>> YES. THIS IS ACTUALLY REPORT THAT HAS RUN IN TEAMS AND IT IS CALLED THE GENERAL FUND REPORT.

YOU JUST CHOOSE A DEBT THAT YOU PLUG IN TO THE -- IT IS ELECTRONIC AND IT RUNS THE BALANCE OF THE GENERAL FUND AS OF THAT THEY HAD SO AS OF 8/22, WHEN I RAN THE REPORT, YOU CAN SEE THE BALANCES THAT WERE IN EACH FUNCTION AND THAT IS HOW I DETERMINED MY RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT.

SO THE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE LISTED IN THAT COLUMN OR FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, OKAY, I ADDED THAT COLUMN BECAUSE IT IS AN EXCEL AND JUST TO MAKE THE OUNCES.

BUT THE REPORT RUNS THROUGH THE COLUMN THAT IS THE BOUNDS.

SO THE NEW BALANCE WOULD BE WHAT IS IN GREEN AS OF 8/22.

NOW, EVERY DAY, THOSE BALANCES CHANGE AS WE RUN CHECKS, AS WE DID PAYROLL, AS EXTRA DUTY COMES IN.

LITERALLY, IT CHANGES EVERY SINGLE DAY, SO I COULD RUN THE REPORT. IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

THAT IS WHY IT IS -- BUT I HAVE BEEN PROVIDING THAT REPORT IN MY

FINANCIAL REPORTS EACH TIME. >> TY JONES: ALL RIGHT.

[03:30:05]

DO WE HAVE THE -- ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD.

>> WILL WE BE GETTING A COPY OF THIS?

>> I CAN MAKE A COPY FOR YOU, FOR SURE.

THERE WILL BE FINE. >> TY JONES: WE ARE GOING TO GET GET SET RECONCILED ACCOUNTS THAT REPORT AS WELL AS THE INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS PROVIDED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

>> WE WILL GET THOSE FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CONCERNING THIS ITEM?

IF NOT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> TO MOVE THE.

>> SECOND. >> I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE --

>> I WOULD CHANGE BECAUSE IT IS IN THE ROBERT SWOPE NOW.

I WOULD SAY I MOVE TO HER APPROVE THE AUGUST 2023

FINANCIAL REPORT AS PRESENTED. >> TY JONES: THANK YOU VERY M MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A VOTE.

ALL IN, EICHEL. ALL OPPOSE, SAY THE SAME.

HEARING NONE, OH, HE SAID, ALL RIGHT.

[12.C. Consider the approval of the Renewal of Insurance Coverage with the TASB Risk Management Fund - CRB(LEGAL)-(G2,G3)]

ALL ARE. I GOT YOU RIGHT, SO THIS DOES PASS. TAKE IT.

>> AMEX AS WELL. >> TY JONES: THE NEXT ITEM IS CONSIDERING THE APPROVAL OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR THE RISK MANAGEMENT FUND. TRUSTEE CLEWIS, YOU HAD A

QUESTION. >> I HAVE PREPARED A

PRESENTATION. >> INVITED TO THE WEST AN ERA.

I'M SORRY. >> I DO HAVE A CONCERN.

>> OKAY. TRUSTEE STEPHENSON?

>> GREGORY STEPHENSON: WE GET A NUMBER OF SERVICES SOMETIMES.

AND IT IS A RENEWABLE. HOW MUCH OF THE COST?

>> I HAVE PREPARED. I HAVE --

>> DO WE HAVE AT WORK TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A BETTER DEAL?

>> HAVE PREPARED A SLIDE IN CASE IT WAS COLD SO I CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. SO THIS IS THE COMPARISON FROM THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR TO 23/24. THERE IS AN INCREASE WHEN I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL SO YOU KNOW THAT IT COMES EVERY YEAR. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL.

THERE IS A PREMIUM INCREASE. THAT IS TYPICAL.

IT WAS TYPICAL. I KNOW THAT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT THING IN MY PREVIOUS DISTRICT.

AT THE SAME RATE OF INCREASE. SO AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS RECEIVED, THERE WAS NOT ADEQUATE TIME TO GO OUT FOR FULL RFP.

I DID THIS, IT. BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS REQUIRED FOR A FULL RFP, IT WOULD NOT BE PUSHED THE ADEQUATE TIME BEFORE THE POLICY WOULD RUN OUT.

SO THE PLAN IS FOR NEXT YEAR, WE WILL START IN MAY FOR A FULL R RFP. THE ONLY CONCERN ON THE ACTUAL OF THE COST IS ACTUALLY ON THE COMP POLICY PORTION BECAUSE WE DID DO A COMPARISON TO OTHER POLICIES THAT WERE AVAILABLE, JUST ON A PRICE AND THAT SEEMED TO BE THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN OTHER POLICIES THAT WERE AVAILABLE FOR OUR SIZE AND SCOPE AND SUCH. SO THAT IS OUR PLAN FOR A FULL RFP TOWARDS THE END OF MAY NEXT YEAR SO THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE TIME TO DO A FULL PRICE COMPARISON.

>> TY JONES: THAT IS GREAT. I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> 'S THIS CONTRACT WOULD BE IN EFFECT UNTIL AUGUST 31ST OF

NEXT YEAR. >> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

TRUSTEE WHITFIELD? >> TEMIKA WHITFIELD: COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE THE LAST TIME THIS WAS REVIEWED? I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS AUTO RENEW.

SO WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE HAD ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH THE -- REPRESENTATIVE TO THE INSURED'S TO SEE IF WE WERE EXERCISING OUR OPTIONS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE?

>> I COULD -- I WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW THAT.

>> IT WAS THE TIME. WHEN THEY BROUGHT THIS BEFORE AS LAST YEAR, I POSED A SIMILAR QUESTION.

>> , BROUGHT THIS BEFORE US? >> TY JONES: WITH THE ADMINISTRATION BROUGHT TO YOU IN WILL PEREZ.

>> I'M NOT SPEAKING OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVE.

>> THE REASON I ASKED THAT QUESTION IS BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACT REGARDING ONE INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, WITH A QUESTION, I WAS TRANSFERRED TO OUR INSURANCE ACCOUNT REP BY MISTAKE AND SHE THOUGHT I WAS CONTACTING HER ABOUT THIS AND WHEN I DID SPEAK WITH HER SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAS NOT SPOKEN WITH ANYONE IN THE BUSH IT HAS BEEN AUTO RENEWING.

HAD SPOKEN WITH ANYONE. I KNOW AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF THREE YEARS AND SHE MENTIONED THE SUPERINTENDENT AT THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN -- SHE STATED SHE -- SO I AM JUST ASKING, AS FAR AS THIS IS CONCERNED AND THE LAST TIME WE HAVE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH HER ACCOUNT REP.

AND I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE. BUT I DID NOT CALL TO INQUIRE ON THIS. SHE PROVIDED THIS AND I WAS ASKING ABOUT SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

I THOUGHT I WAS IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT SHE STATED SHE WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH

ANYONE. >> DULY NOTED.
