00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:14,540
Good evening and welcome to the regular board meeting of the Board of Trustees of Allen and dependent school district.

2
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:26,580
It is to be noted that a quorum is present, and that the meeting has been duly called, and that notice of the meeting has been duly posted for time and manner as required by law.

00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:34,060
At this time, we'll ask Trustee Amanduk to state the moral imperative.

00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:34,920
The

00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:45,190
L&IC Board of Trustees is compassionately committed to every learner's current and future success.

6
00:00:46,970 --> 00:00:47,590
Thank you, Amanda.

7
00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:56,290
We'll have the pledge of allegiance at this time, and it will be led this evening by the Board of Trustees.

8
00:00:56,730 --> 00:00:57,930
So if you'll please stand,

9
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,240
at this time, we'll have gifts, donations, and requests.

10
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:44,700
This evening, this will be read by Trustee Sarah Mitchell.

11
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,980
Donations listed may include monetary donations, grants, and gifts.

12
00:01:54,460 --> 00:01:59,140
Allen High School received $1,600 from the Allen High School booster club, choir booster

13
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:04,800
club, to be used to offset the costs of the choir directors, attending the Texas Coral

14
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:11,200
Directors Association, Convention in San Antonio July 17 to 19, 2026.

15
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:17,420
Athletics received $1,500 from the Lady Eagles basketball booster to be used towards travel

16
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:23,520
expenses for the girls basketball. Bowen Elementary received $500 from the Bowen Elementary

17
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,820
PTA to be used towards fifth grade Sky Ranch. Boone Elementary School received $5,220

18
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:36,120
from the Boone Elementary PTA as an end of year gift to the school.

19
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:43,000
Lowry Freshman Center received $1,000 from the PTSA to be used during towards school summer

20
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,080
school. The foundation for Allen schools received grants totaling $134,565. And student

21
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,840
nutrition received $710 and 63 cents from Mahela Plaza to be used to pay for elementary

22
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,980
school lunch accounts.

23
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:10,140
Thank you, Sarah. It should be noted that the donation from Mahela Plaza was in honor of

24
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:17,160
Dr. Bullitt's retirement, so representative Flesson made that presentation to Dr. Bullitt

25
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,880
and then paid that account for elementary schools.

26
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:23,980
So board, this is an action item.

27
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,320
I'd like to entertain a motion.

28
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,380
Madam President, I move to accept the donations as presented by staff.

29
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:32,300
We have a motion by Veronica.

30
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:33,700
Do we have a second?

31
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:44,880
I'll second by John. Any questions? All those in favour? Any opposed? Seeing none?

32
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,860
Motion carries. Thank you and thank you to those that made those

33
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:55,680
donations and gifts. The next portion of our meeting involves

34
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,900
Board Meeting Public Participation. At this time Mr. Hicks do we have

35
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:03,620
cards for this safety.

36
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:11,900
President Montgomery, we received one card for public participation this

37
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:16,560
evening. It does not relate to an agenda item, so falls within public comment.

38
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:22,180
Thank you.

39
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:33,820
Desiree, Finklestein Phillips, if you want to come up, you'll have three minutes, and the

40
00:04:33,820 --> 00:04:35,520
timer will begin on the board.

41
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,460
It and members of the board. My name is Desiree, Finklestein Phillips. I'm here tonight

42
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:46,360
to put it on the official record.

43
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,140
If five-year history of systemic educational neglect,

44
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:53,180
my daughter, Savannah Phillips, entered this district

45
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:53,760
in kindergarten.

46
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,900
This upcoming school year, she enters the fifth grade.

47
00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:00,060
She is a two-E twice exceptional student.

48
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,300
She possesses a superior IQ that places her in the top two

49
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,680
to three percentile of her peers nationwide.

50
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,580
She also has autism of a level two, severe ADHD dyslexia

51
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:12,700
and a speech impairment.

52
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:18,240
Because she is highly intelligent and verbal, this district has allowed her to completely

53
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,760
fall through the cracks, weaponizing her intellect to deny her the special structural

54
00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:25,180
support that she is legally allowed.

55
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,520
For years, instead of accommodating her sensory, communication, and neurological needs,

56
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:35,040
the administration has insisted on mislabeling her with an emotional disturbance.

57
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,660
This is a classic defensive tactic used to reframe an autistic child's neurological distress

58
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:43,960
and behaviors as an infraction.

59
00:05:43,960 --> 00:06:06,200
Six months ago, after the district, continuously failed to implement a proper IEP, my husband and I were forced to place her for the protection of herself, her safety and the safety of others by submitting a formal tinday notice and unilaterally placing her in a private ABA school, the same private ABA school that you already have other students in place at.

60
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,560
A structured, one-on-one data-driven support environment, her brilliant mind is finally thriving,

61
00:06:12,980 --> 00:06:17,500
yet the district's response over the last six months has continued to be,

62
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,740
for her to stay in the public school with her IEP untouched, demanded by a

63
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:29,240
evaluation to strip her of her eligibility entirely, and it temptaries all her past medical and

64
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,720
complete grades with a bureaucratic stall rather than compensatory services.

65
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,740
most horrifically, when faced with the intensive therapeutic one-on-one support she receives

66
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:46,540
at ABA school, District's official alternative proposal was to place my highly intelligent

67
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:53,280
visually, somewhat impaired autistic daughter in a solitude setting, a dillard.

68
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:59,880
Let us call it what it is. It's isolation and seclusion. Proposing to lock a two-eat

69
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:06,700
elementary at no cost, student alone in a room completely violates the federal mandate

70
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:11,780
of the least restrictive environment. It is a psychological hazard and a profound ethical

71
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:17,460
failure. A seclusion room is not a educational setting. It's a failure of imagination, competence,

72
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:22,340
and compliance by this administration. This failure has been going on since kindergarten.

73
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:27,560
I'm here to tell this board that we're done waiting. I have rejected the district's dangerous

74
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,580
proposal of a solitude placement. I reject the biased evaluations, and I am continuing

75
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:38,460
to demand that this just district formally recognize her autism, correct her legal

76
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:42,380
eligibility label to reflect her actual diagnosis.

77
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,940
Ms. Fingelstein, your time is expired.

78
00:07:57,030 --> 00:08:03,330
Thank you, Ms. Fingelstein. Phillips, and that will be directed, our acting superintendent Kim

79
00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:06,970
off and we'll get that to the right departments to get back with you.

80
00:08:07,210 --> 00:08:07,830
Thank you.

81
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:27,870
Next on our agenda is the public hearing on the 2026-2027 budget and proposed tax rate.

82
00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:33,910
Dr. Carl Pianne, Assistant Superintendent Business for Business and Technology will be presenting

83
00:08:33,910 --> 00:08:34,670
this evening.

84
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:42,860
All right.

85
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,380
Good evening.

86
00:08:44,260 --> 00:08:49,020
So tonight, we are coming to you, almost the conclusion of a non-9 month or so long process

87
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:54,180
On adopting our budget, we will, the tax rate will be done in August, we'll talk a little bit about that moment.

88
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,260
We have discussed almost a month, a lot of these changes, but tonight I'm going to compile them all.

89
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:07,960
And try to be fairly brief at the same time, covering a lot of time, a lot of history on our budget.

90
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:18,420
So we'll have the hearing tonight and then later in the meeting we will actually have the opportunity to adopt it and I'll speak briefly then, but we'll cover the highlights at this time.

91
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,760
So, briefly walk through the budget process, our public meeting requirements, some details

92
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,900
and assumptions about the budget and then review the budgets that were shared last month

93
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:32,540
and numbers.

94
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,360
So, our process, this is a calendar that was shared earlier in the year, so we start at

95
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,400
the cabinet level really in September early fall and walk through a lot of early numbers

96
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,000
for the next year of projections on students and then work with HR and our budget and finance

97
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,560
staff to then start working with staffing, as that is the bulk of our budget.

98
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:58,000
Working with demographers, played in the spring, trying to finalize some of what the numbers

99
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,680
would look like, and then we got into compensation discussions, and then now we're a little

100
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:08,340
bit above that green line in the month of June, and we'll have our actual adoption.

101
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:13,860
You also see the in the consent, the final amendment for the current year's budget.

102
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,580
And so then the remaining items is late next month, we'll get certified values, which will

103
00:10:18,580 --> 00:10:23,240
drive some of our tax rate information, and then we'll adopt that in the August meeting.

104
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:25,020
So that is probably, and then we'll start all over again.

105
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:25,580
We great.

106
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,180
You'll love it.

107
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,800
All right.

108
00:10:28,060 --> 00:10:28,980
So public meeting noticed.

109
00:10:29,020 --> 00:10:35,440
So we did run the post on the left in the Alon American on June 5th, meeting our requirements

110
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:35,900
there.

111
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:38,660
And we published the tax rate that we currently have.

112
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,500
So this is a immunotax rate of 73 cents and change for 73, 58, and then an INS rate

113
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,520
pays on our bonds of 39 cents for a total of $1.12.58.

114
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:53,320
Currently, this is what we have this year, after certified values and then in cooperation

115
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,580
with T.E.A., if they do tax compression, that could drop lower, but it will not go higher.

116
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,860
As long as it does not go higher, we do not have to repost this one posting will count for that.

117
00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:08,980
So that's what we post here, and then if we happen to have any drop on the M&O side, then it would

118
00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:09,680
just be reduced.

119
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:11,440
We'll discuss that in August.

120
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,220
So,

121
00:11:14,780 --> 00:11:16,820
some 26, 27 details in assumption.

122
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:22,600
So, this is our trend as of snapshots with the end of October every year we submit an enrollment number.

123
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:27,800
It does change throughout the year, but this is what's been submitted and then you can see in the year we're in.

124
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:32,960
It was lower actually lower than the lower demographers projection.

125
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,120
And so that's been our trend right there on enrollment.

126
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,540
And then the projections here, so the low moderate and high scenario.

127
00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:52,360
We actually are going with 19 575 on the low side that is similar to what our roll-up numbers would be in terms of seniors graduating, and then a similar kindergarten size class that we have this year.

128
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,940
In a garden is always the most difficult to project because we don't have the priors information.

129
00:12:00,260 --> 00:12:05,400
So rolling that, so we know we are funded by students that 15575 is our enrollment projections.

130
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,200
some student programs and enrollment adjustments. These are just some of the bigger rocks

131
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,980
that we're looking at this year. So an increase in some career and technology education

132
00:12:14,980 --> 00:12:19,640
courses primarily at the middle school and Lowry Center. These are really courses we've

133
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,360
been offering with some just kind of minor tweaks. They're just looking at the

134
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,920
teaks. They actually meet the CTE standard. So I don't know that the necessary

135
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,500
I wouldn't call them new courses, but just a way to make sure that we're able to

136
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:36,920
rate a little additional funding that was with the CTE team and then the campus administration

137
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,960
there. We have some coming special education funding changes from the state. They are changing

138
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:50,260
their process. We are starting to get some details of that and I know Dr. Taylor's working on

139
00:12:50,260 --> 00:12:57,980
that as well with Ms. Arlington on our team and looking at what those are going to be. So the

140
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:01,940
state is set aside additional funding but you don't exactly know how you're going to be impacted

141
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:09,520
at the district level yet, so early in the year what we're going to do is send in our current

142
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,380
special education numbers the way we already do it and then through the state requirement

143
00:13:14,380 --> 00:13:19,620
we're also going to be submitting under the new format and Dr. Taylor and special education has

144
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:25,660
been the one working on that and working with our team. She's also, I think, received some grant

145
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:30,640
funding to help take care of some staffing needs because that's a huge work on our staff.

146
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,080
So now I'll be doing these two types of tracking.

147
00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:39,940
So it's moving to what is they're calling a tears of hope

148
00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:41,400
now I'm going to forget the word

149
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:45,000
we want to start about that.

150
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,400
And then the last thing on there that I have is the impact

151
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,580
from vouchers that's really unknown.

152
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,900
So the state has had a tremendous number of applications.

153
00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:54,960
A lot of those are students that are already

154
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,720
in attending private school or home school,

155
00:13:56,940 --> 00:13:59,140
but we don't really know at the district level

156
00:13:59,140 --> 00:14:02,960
any district, what their specific impact is going to be.

157
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:09,240
We do hope that because of the requirements of the program, we are hoping that we are

158
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,340
minimally impacted, but either way is a funded program at the state level that is resources

159
00:14:15,340 --> 00:14:19,360
that could be used to the public education model that are currently not.

160
00:14:20,180 --> 00:14:23,940
So that will be a thing that I think will be a popular topic across the state in this

161
00:14:23,940 --> 00:14:24,600
year.

162
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,720
And then finally we've mentioned the facilities and operations seen in the Benning

163
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,660
Field and Brian Nielier working to use some of the work they're doing in our

164
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:37,700
renovated campuses to that will qualify for some additional funding that we will

165
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,280
be able to actually put into our general general fund revenue.

166
00:14:41,540 --> 00:14:44,640
So those are, I think it will vary from year to year depending on the number,

167
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:48,180
but this next year we believe it will be an excess of a million dollars.

168
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,520
So that'll be significant assistance to the program.

169
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,920
On the expense side, the largest we know is,

170
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,960
personnel, so we really worked through looking at the...

171
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,920
The campus level elementary class size and grade levels. As the enrollment has dropped, trying to absorb positions where we could.

172
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:25,040
We've restructured some various programs, and just really thought the process has been a priority. I know of the board and district leadership that if there's an employee in Allen ISD, we want to make sure they have an opportunity to stay in Allen ISD, even if the role may adjust.

173
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,120
and so we've been able to take care of employees and that, in that manner, just be responsible

174
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,140
students for the funds that we have.

175
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,260
Special education, as we're just discussing that program continues to grow in numbers.

176
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,340
So even though our population is a whole decline, the number of students in that program,

177
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,140
I'm continue to grow, that's also a statewide trend that we're seeing, believe there's

178
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:49,480
some time there while we're starting to see some additional funds and hope that will continue

179
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,180
because to support those students that we are not receiving the funds that it does cost to support

180
00:15:54,180 --> 00:16:00,400
them. And then working on the federal funds with that team, a slogan, and I'm

181
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,840
as well, I'm making sure that we stretch those dollars in the best way for really long

182
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,600
term success. So what we'll see sometimes is we might see more money in one fund one year

183
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,900
and less the next. And so we have to move people between those various funds and the general

184
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:18,880
fund. If the money rolls over from year to year, we might find a way to stretch that. So

185
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,440
we have more cushion a year or two down the road and bring on the general fund we have.

186
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,400
So it's really looking at all the resources we have for the best long-term stability of the district.

187
00:16:28,180 --> 00:16:30,780
And so that team has been great with that.

188
00:16:30,780 --> 00:16:33,280
I'm keen to introduce health a lot with that one as well.

189
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,960
And then inflationary costs are still some of our larger, larger pieces.

190
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:47,020
You know, we're continuing to receive price quotes for things next year, but things like fuel, custodian contracts, property insurance.

191
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,220
And hopefully this your property insurance, we will leave a safe flat, and then we did

192
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:58,800
as a district choose to use the board to increase compensation for all the staff even in these difficult times.

193
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,780
And I know our staff is extremely grateful for that.

194
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,200
And that does also come with a cost on our budget side.

195
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:08,260
So those are some of the high levels of the expenses this year.

196
00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:16,480
And then just to get into the numbers, the high level totals are really the same as what you saw last month.

197
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:22,380
There might have been a few things move between the function level, but total dollar as we discussed prior,

198
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:27,500
but total numbers are staying the same there. So the left column in the peach color is the adopted

199
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:32,120
budget from the year we're currently in. Blue is what we're proposing tonight for adoption.

200
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,960
It'll be an action item later. The third column is the difference between years and then percentage

201
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:46,460
between and the percent of the total. And so you can kind of see that. And then on the right is the

202
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:51,200
by a function and kind of walk through a lot of that again as we always discuss,

203
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:53,420
quite some of them starting on the revenue side.

204
00:17:53,620 --> 00:17:58,840
So the main adjustment in revenue is about a $5 million job in revenue from students,

205
00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:03,220
and then also just really an accounting entry of the TRS on behalf of staff.

206
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,580
So as we reduce staff, the state entry for retirement that we really record,

207
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:09,720
it doesn't really hit our books.

208
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:15,360
That just offset that reduces, but then we also have things like the increase from that federal revenue

209
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:19,220
from the rebate program and some pieces like that.

210
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:22,380
And the other thing else is just kind of moving minor items.

211
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:23,900
Functional 11.

212
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Obviously, we talk about this.

213
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,180
This is our largest function by far.

214
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,360
Instruction is really classroom, we think classrooms.

215
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:34,180
So main adjustments in there.

216
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,040
There was an increase due to the raise,

217
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,260
but reduction in total number of positions.

218
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:41,060
And then, as we've absorbed some vacancies

219
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:43,480
and made structure changes to programs.

220
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,780
and then a less per people allocation at the campus because of the less students.

221
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:49,920
I'm actually in 13.

222
00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:57,360
That is really changed to where I will to move some staff to federal programming.

223
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:01,100
That did not allow as much carryover.

224
00:19:01,660 --> 00:19:04,340
And then 23 absorbed some positions there.

225
00:19:04,940 --> 00:19:07,780
And the school administration side 31.

226
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,060
That increase was some people coming back from federal funds.

227
00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:13,020
They have been paid elsewhere.

228
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,160
So it's not an additional staff.

229
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:16,300
It's just people coming back over to the general fund.

230
00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:26,890
Then the second half of this transportation really, the prior one of this, the main bulk

231
00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:31,750
of this is cost of fuel increases and payroll increases that happen after last year's budget

232
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:40,170
adoption, function 51, facilities and maintenance, that 3% CPI increase on the custodial contract.

233
00:19:40,270 --> 00:19:45,450
That's about half of it and the other half relates to our utility rates and usage.

234
00:19:46,370 --> 00:19:53,770
52 are safety and security kind of two-fold so the town gives officers 8% increase and we cover

235
00:19:53,770 --> 00:19:59,870
half of that cost so we pick that up and then the other part is a security grant that covered

236
00:19:59,870 --> 00:20:05,290
half of our own security is complete and so it's expired and so they are coming back to the

237
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:12,790
general fund and then 91 is a small increase in recapture again best projection because it

238
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:19,010
late start a number of kids and tax values and all of those are still be determined.

239
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,860
Student nutrition fund, student nutrition fund is a balancing even projection so based

240
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:35,500
on 173 days and then again using some conservative increases on the reimbursement rates

241
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:41,580
from the national school lunch program and then commodities as well.

242
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:46,420
believe they increase on the CPI with food and other and then really work and flavor, person

243
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,340
in the food service department, that whole team and work with the cyber, it's been a

244
00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:56,500
lot of time to really refine our food service labor and hours and number of people because

245
00:20:56,500 --> 00:21:01,160
it's, that's a really tough budget to balance and if it comes in short we have to use

246
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,620
general fund money so they put a lot of effort into doing that this year for improvements

247
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:09,420
and I know we'll continue to do that going forward in the next year.

248
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840
And then our debt service fund, a little bit later, we're actually going to talk about

249
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:20,260
a refunding this evening, but this is proposed budget again, as we're, this is our best

250
00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:20,720
projections.

251
00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:24,340
We're awaiting on some still values, and then our state hold harmless.

252
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:29,440
So, you can see the state value used to not be very much, but as they've increased the home

253
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,700
state exemption, the state for bonds that have already been sold, make up the loss of that

254
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:42,380
tax based that we use, but there is a lot as this everyone is figuring out what does that mean?

255
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:44,720
What does that legislation mean and how to interpret that?

256
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,380
And every time they've done the Home State exemption, the interpretation has been different

257
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:52,000
because the legislation has been written a little different each time.

258
00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:57,420
And so what we do as that Home State exemption continues to rise, that will become a lot larger

259
00:21:57,420 --> 00:22:01,040
piece of our budget going forward.

260
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,460
And so there's still some pieces outside.

261
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:08,400
So, as we move forward and have things like refund days and get certified values and find out

262
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,480
the state values will work through the amendment process, next fiscal year,

263
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:19,570
and then I'll

264
00:22:20,770 --> 00:22:26,050
wrap up briefly here and then open it up if there's any questions and then for the hearing.

265
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:33,890
But just definitely this is a year-long project and work of cabinet groups starting out early on

266
00:22:33,890 --> 00:22:38,050
very great teams to work with and collaborative and it does not become, I do want to be

267
00:22:38,050 --> 00:22:41,730
clear like it is not a any group or anybody else, everybody works really together.

268
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:45,150
These are not fund discussions, you know they're not fund discussions and we've talked about

269
00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:49,730
it a lot at length, but everybody works really well together to re-syllot our budget coordinator.

270
00:22:49,930 --> 00:22:53,670
I'm a resident of the work meeting with principals and directors and everybody connecting

271
00:22:53,670 --> 00:22:58,530
with them to understand their non-parallel budgets and get those entered into our system.

272
00:22:58,530 --> 00:23:04,930
The air engine is really carries our team and works a lot with HR and payroll and really working

273
00:23:04,930 --> 00:23:07,590
on the personnel side for everything.

274
00:23:07,770 --> 00:23:10,690
So it's definitely a group effort going forward.

275
00:23:11,930 --> 00:23:15,510
So again, later on we'll have an adoption where all I'll do our promise, I'll just come up

276
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:17,410
and read the totals and then you'll adopt it.

277
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:21,990
If you'd like to move forward or any questions, but this is the end-depth hearing part.

278
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:25,050
Is there any questions I can answer at this time?

279
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:34,090
received staying with me in a long recap of a lot of a lot that you've already heard. So thank you.

280
00:23:35,330 --> 00:23:40,870
Thank you Kyle. If you'll stay there for just a minute because this is um I do need to open

281
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:46,190
this as a public hearing. So with this time we'll open the floor for public comment

282
00:23:49,710 --> 00:23:54,410
and then we'll wait to see if anyone wants to come out if it makes public comment.

283
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:04,840
Seeing nobody moving I am going to assume there is no public comment so I will close the floor for

284
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,980
public comment. Okay, Kyle, thank you so much.

285
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:20,720
More to come for that. Okay, next on our agenda,

286
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:30,800
we have 25, 20, 26 interim assessment results presented tonight by Jennifer Wilhelm, Assistant

287
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Superintendent of Learner Services.

288
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:44,120
Look at evening board of trustees in this McLaughlin.

289
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:52,340
The frame that that date provided this evening, it is important that we are cognizant of the balanced assessment system utilized within Allen ISD.

290
00:24:52,860 --> 00:25:01,480
In addition to classroom-based methods from monitoring student progress, Allen ISD utilizes a variety of interim assessments to assess academic progress.

291
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:08,660
The interim assessments utilized within the balanced assessment system include the assessments that are shown here on the chart.

292
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,620
And we've discussed those at the beginning of year, middle of year, and now into the year.

293
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:18,600
These enormous assessments empower teachers to personalize student learning and inform campus

294
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,180
industry leaders about the academic achievement and growth of our students in an effort

295
00:25:23,180 --> 00:25:25,800
to collectively focus on continuous improvement.

296
00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:34,360
The 2025-2026 academic school year marks the 6th year of implementation of this balanced assessment system.

297
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:40,920
The Nights presentation will include highlights of our 2025-26 end of year in our assessment

298
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,620
results.

299
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,420
These in our assessments were administered in late spring and measure academic achievement

300
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:47,840
at the end of the school year.

301
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:52,480
This allows teachers to assess students' learning strengths and opportunities for continued

302
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,560
growth to support different state instruction, prompting academic success for every student.

303
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,120
This also establishes a benchmark from which we measure growth from this year to next year.

304
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:12,960
This presentation is a component within our collective efforts in partnership with the board in monitoring academic performance and growth for our students within an academic school year.

305
00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:19,460
The end of year assessment results presented this evening may be paired with comparisons to performance in previous school years.

306
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:30,080
In the data observations highlighted this evening comparisons may be laid with acronyms B.O.Y. for beginning of year E.O. or M.O.Y. for middle of year and E.O.Y. for end of year.

307
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,840
We will now transition to the portion of the presentation highlighting overarching trends

308
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,180
in student performance as seen in the various interim assessment measures.

309
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:43,080
Some graphical representations of the data have been selected and shown on each slide

310
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,980
simply to illustrate some of the observed trends.

311
00:26:46,540 --> 00:26:50,060
First, we're going to look at interim assessments and the districts early childhood program.

312
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,800
This 2025-2026 school year marks the third year for full implementation of full-day

313
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,340
pre-kinder garden instruction in our program.

314
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:04,100
The Early Childhood Program consists of full-day classes serving pre-kindergarten students

315
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:08,840
in both monolingual and bilingual settings, and includes full-day and half-day classes

316
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,900
for students in the Early Childhood Special Education Program.

317
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,480
All districts are required to report to TEA student progress on the end of year outcomes

318
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,500
identified in the Texas Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines.

319
00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:25,940
All and I see utilizes the circle progress monitoring assessment, which is on the commissioner's

320
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:29,720
list of approved pre-cindergarten monitoring tools.

321
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:35,020
The Circle Progress monitoring system enables teachers to assess the child's progress

322
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:39,000
in the literacy skills of rhyming, rapid letter naming, and rapid vocabulary.

323
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,600
The math assessment evaluates counting skills, shape naming, and discrimination,

324
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,200
operations, and number of identification.

325
00:27:47,180 --> 00:27:50,300
The math assessment includes a sub-test called counting sets.

326
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,620
Among all early childhood students, including those in monolingual and bilingual settings,

327
00:27:55,620 --> 00:28:00,800
as well as students receiving special education services in WDR data in the area of rapid

328
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,280
letter naming indicates that 82% of students exhibit proficiency in the area based on

329
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:12,400
end of year benchmarks, which is a 29% increase as compared to students demonstrating proficiency

330
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,360
at the beginning of this school year.

331
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:20,420
End of year results on the mat learning assessment indicate that 87% students demonstrate proficiency

332
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:24,840
reflecting an 8% increase as compared to the beginning of year results.

333
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,800
The set-test of rhyming measures a foundational literacy skill aligned to phonemic awareness

334
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:31,540
proficiency.

335
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,740
The counting set-subtests measures foundational math skills that directly support the development

336
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:42,840
of numeracy by fostering an understanding of quantity, number relationships, and early arithmetic

337
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:43,640
concepts.

338
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,620
Each of the distinct student groups demonstrated significant growth on the rhyming and

339
00:28:49,620 --> 00:28:53,060
accounting sets assessments compared to the beginning of your performance.

340
00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:58,840
In fall of 2025, beginning of your performance for students in monoling will pre-kindergarten

341
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,420
classes trended lower at each learning measure as compared to performance of the previous

342
00:29:03,420 --> 00:29:06,700
years cohort of pre-kindergarten in fall of 2024.

343
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,040
A similar trend is reflected in overall percentage of students demonstrating proficiency

344
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,560
on any of your benchmarks.

345
00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:19,280
However, this year's cohort of students showed more progress across most learning measures

346
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,380
throughout the school year as compared to last year's cohort.

347
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:27,500
Now we'll transition to the performance highlight

348
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:30,340
for the interim assessment which measures early literacy skills

349
00:29:30,340 --> 00:29:32,140
in kindergarten through grade two.

350
00:29:32,740 --> 00:29:35,120
This is an important measure since early childhood literacy

351
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
is the foundation for developing strong,

352
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,640
readers and writers.

353
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,940
Students who score at or above benchmark are likely

354
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:45,940
to be performing at grade level standards at the end of the year.

355
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,680
All grade levels show growth and the percentage

356
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,060
students performing at great level standards when comparing performance at the

357
00:29:52,060 --> 00:29:55,720
beginning of year to the end of year. The number of students in LNIC

358
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,960
performing at these higher levels of early literacy and reading skills is 15.

359
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,940
Meeting percent higher than the national performance of students. Performance during the end of year assessment shows that 78% of kindergarten students are scoring at or above benchmark in reading overall. This is 16% higher than student performance at the beginning of the school year. Additionally, the kindergarten grade level evidence a significant 8% decrease in the number of students at risk for learning or reading disabilities from beginning of year to end of your benchmarks.

360
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:35,480
Overall, composite scores for grade 1 reflect 78 percent of students are performing at or

361
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,240
a bunch of bench mark. While 77 percent of students in grade 2 scored at these performance

362
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,800
levels, reflecting stable performance as compared to spring 2025.

363
00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:50,800
When comparing end of year performance from spring 2025 to spring 2025 to spring 2006, the

364
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,880
number of students at risk for reading difficulties is relatively stable and kindergarten

365
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,880
in through second grade. One component of literacy is phonological awareness proficiency, which

366
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,780
is a strong predictor of a child's early reading ability. A percent of kindergarten students

367
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:12,040
demonstrating a strong foundation in this skill increased by 3% from fall 2025 to spring

368
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:18,080
2026. Performance of grade 1 students, evidence a significant improvement in phonemic awareness

369
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:24,120
proficiency, with an increase of 14% scoring at or above benchmark for a beginning to end

370
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:30,740
year. By year end, 80% of students performed at grade level standard, representing a 2% increase

371
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:35,640
compared to last year's results. For both kindergarten and grade 1, student performance in

372
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,180
this area outpace performance as compared to the previous school year.

373
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,320
Autological awareness proficiency is an area that we will continue to monitor for positive

374
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:55,510
impact, resulting from explicit, phonemic awareness instruction and the application of the

375
00:31:55,510 --> 00:31:58,570
on the NWEA map growth interim assessment.

376
00:31:59,510 --> 00:32:04,630
The map growth interim assessment utilizes a RIT skill that is divided into equal intervals.

377
00:32:05,390 --> 00:32:10,050
Assessment results monitor student growth along developmental skills between testing events

378
00:32:10,050 --> 00:32:14,850
and when combined with NWEA national norms shows projected proficiency.

379
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:20,310
Norms indicate if students may growth consistent with that of other students at the same

380
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:23,950
grade and subject areas with the initial same RIT score.

381
00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:33,390
In WA continually refines methodologies to generate norms so they remain statistically rigorous as well as accurate and relevant.

382
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:42,790
For the 2025-2026 school year, the in WA map growth assessment reflects a redesigned assessment and updated norms.

383
00:32:43,530 --> 00:32:50,030
The 2025 update to national norms is essential to account for post-pandemic shifts in student performance.

384
00:32:50,030 --> 00:33:00,320
As a result, only performance results attain within this 2526 school year will be reported in the presentation updates to the board as seen throughout this school year.

385
00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:08,370
Empire comparison for achievement and growth and star projections will not be reported for consistency in data analytics.

386
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:14,830
This slide highlights overarching district level observations related to academic achievement.

387
00:33:14,830 --> 00:33:20,710
LNIC is a high-achievement district and continues to perform about the national norms for

388
00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:24,030
end of year in all continents in all great levels.

389
00:33:24,810 --> 00:33:27,630
Analysis of the achievement percentiles of the end of your data,

390
00:33:28,130 --> 00:33:31,350
evidence is that the percentile rank for median student achievement in each

391
00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:34,730
continent is at or exceeds a rank of 74.

392
00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:41,290
Indicating that median student performance in LNIC outpaces 74% or more as students

393
00:33:41,290 --> 00:33:42,870
in the national norm group.

394
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:49,190
The content area of science reflects the highest achievement percentile with a rank score of 85.

395
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,420
Another way to analyze student achievement is looking at student performance by quintiles,

396
00:33:56,660 --> 00:34:02,040
which shows how well students have learned skills in the content area compared to similar students nationwide.

397
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,220
A quintile analysis creates a distribution of performance levels,

398
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:10,200
where 20% of students fall into specific performance quintile.

399
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:16,820
This separates academic performance into groups of performance levels, known as low, low average,

400
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,320
average, high average, and high.

401
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,480
Through a quintile analysis of India results, the majority of Alonized students performed in

402
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,900
the top 40th percentile as measured by national norms of all students.

403
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,840
The breakdown by continuity of our students in the high and high average quintiles ranges from

404
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:44,700
67% in the area of reading, 71% in the area of language, 74% in the area of math, and 77% in the area of science.

405
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:54,080
When compared to the beginning of your performance, the percentage of students scoring within these higher performance results that end of year decreased slightly across all content areas.

406
00:34:55,720 --> 00:35:00,540
This slide highlights overarching district level observations related to student growth.

407
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,720
It's important to note something about growth norms in the NWA map assessment.

408
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:10,060
The growth norms are set to be very rigorous so that only 50% of students meet their growth

409
00:35:10,060 --> 00:35:10,600
goals.

410
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:16,280
Therefore, I'm looking at the percentage of students' results about 50% reflect national

411
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:16,800
norms.

412
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,800
This is not a data set where we would expect to see near 100% of students meeting their

413
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,480
growth goals.

414
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:28,580
If so, in WA, we would reset their growth norms in a significant number of students in

415
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:33,840
that overall population of students began meeting those at closer to 100%.

416
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,820
From this enormous assessment, we are able to measure projected growth and observe growth

417
00:35:38,820 --> 00:35:44,200
from the beginning of year in fall 2025 to the end of year in spring, 2026.

418
00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:48,200
When analyzing beginning of year to end of year growth comparisons,

419
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:54,420
science showed the highest percentage of students meeting projected growth goals at 71%.

420
00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:58,720
Other content areas range from 56% to 69%

421
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:02,420
Demonstrating performance above national norms in all

422
00:36:02,420 --> 00:36:02,820
continents.

423
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:06,220
But then the student groups have economically disadvantaged,

424
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,560
emergent bilingual, or students receiving special education

425
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,800
services that percentage of students meeting the beginning of

426
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:19,020
year to end of year, growth projections range from 49% to 66%.

427
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:21,860
Exceeding the national growth norm of 50% in most

428
00:36:21,860 --> 00:36:22,260
continents.

429
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,900
Other student groups, the emergent bilingual students

430
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:28,440
evidence the highest percentage of students meeting their

431
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:33,780
growth goals ranging from 59% to 66% across the content areas.

432
00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:39,040
This slide highlights overarching district level observations related to

433
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,980
projected performance on upcoming.

434
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,480
Well, they're not upcoming now.

435
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,320
We've been in the start though.

436
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,140
But when the kids took it, it was upcoming.

437
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,720
1226 Spring Star Exails.

438
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,400
The blue bar here represents last year's spring results on the

439
00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:00,280
The red bar represents the beginning of your mat projections for performance on this year's

440
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:00,840
star exam.

441
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,880
The gray bar represents little of your mat projections and the light blue bar represents

442
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,740
the end of your mat projections for performance on the spring star exam.

443
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:22,020
Performance evidence on the 2026 end of year mat star projections at each of the three

444
00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:29,600
varied, both lower and higher performance, as seen on 2025 star with exams. This variance is

445
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,240
in results and projected performance is most likely indicative of the redesigned map

446
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:39,700
growth assessment. Internal correlation analysis of these map proficiency projections

447
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:46,820
with the actual 2026 star results from this past spring will be conducted. Most notably,

448
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:51,000
elementary math performance in grades 3 through 5 will feel like did the most consistent

449
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
increases when comparing the map star projections.

450
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,760
Now, as you recall, early childhood literacy and math

451
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,200
proficiency is a monitored area through how

452
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,320
skill three goals and progress measures.

453
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:05,740
The yearly target for grade three star reading language

454
00:38:05,740 --> 00:38:08,520
arts at the meets grade level performance level for

455
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,020
spring, 2026 is set at 69% and the yearly target

456
00:38:13,020 --> 00:38:15,800
for grade three star math at meets grade level performance

457
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,580
level with set at 65%.

458
00:38:18,580 --> 00:38:29,160
The interviewer projected proficiencies on-star at this performance level for Gray 3 reading is 66 and for Gray 3 math is 66 as well.

459
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:39,840
And as a reminder, the annual updates on those board goals and progress measures for early childhood literacy and math proficiency will be presented to the board at the upcoming workshop in August.

460
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:46,360
And so typically at this point in time, we would transition to our online and our assessments

461
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,400
that measure achievement and knowledge in the skills for eighth grade social studies

462
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,160
and the end of course assessed courses.

463
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,600
Just typically take these assessments in late February and early March.

464
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:02,460
And student results are utilized in a manner consistent with middle of year assessments.

465
00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:10,500
So therefore we will not be sharing those results tonight because they were included in the middle of year presentation back in March.

466
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,960
But this concludes our look at end-of-year interim assessment results.

467
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:21,940
Alinae's D is committed to providing high-quality instruction and relevant learning for all students.

468
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:28,700
Through collected avenues, each continuity implements focus curriculum, instruction, and professional learning

469
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:34,840
support to foster achievement and growth for all of our students. Allying a thorough analysis of

470
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:42,480
assessment and 2026 star-performance trends, strengths, and areas of growth, targeted content and

471
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,880
programs specific plans will be developed in the process of being developed currently and implemented

472
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,880
to support students in gaining the knowledge and skills necessary for academic success for the

473
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,740
upcoming school year. I work together as a collective team. We will continue to focus on areas

474
00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:06,380
for continued growth while celebrating the many successes happening in our classrooms and on

475
00:40:06,380 --> 00:40:11,240
our campuses each and every day. We are looking forward to a strong start to the

476
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:19,220
2,026-2,027 school year and so as we conclude it's good for us to revisit our monitoring

477
00:40:19,220 --> 00:40:24,600
calendar for student academic performance. In August that's where we will have that presentation

478
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:32,420
on our progress measures for early-totted literacy and math proficiency, so this concludes tonight's

479
00:40:32,420 --> 00:40:38,080
presentation and thank you for allowing me to the opportunity to share our interim assessment

480
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,720
results with you this evening.

481
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,200
Thank you, Jen. That's a lot of information to Dodgers board. Do you

482
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:53,060
have any questions for Jen or comments? I have a comment if I could.

483
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,420
I think we can't say

484
00:40:57,940 --> 00:41:04,960
Thank you enough for all of the hard work that not all of your department all of our departments are having to

485
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,440
To do each and every day

486
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,520
whether it be

487
00:41:11,580 --> 00:41:19,120
Things obligations from Austin or whatever, but you know as far as with the testing and all the changes back and forth and you guys

488
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,800
So you know to keep up with all of this is I can only imagine so I just want to say thank you again

489
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,680
You guys are doing a great job keeping a float of all the changes in everything that's coming

490
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,040
at you.

491
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:32,960
Thank you.

492
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:33,340
Thank you.

493
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:39,040
We are very fortunate to have an amazing staff of educators here on our campuses that are

494
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,780
willing to do whatever it takes for all of our kids.

495
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,040
Any other questions or comments?

496
00:41:51,390 --> 00:41:57,930
Jen, I just have a comment about this about the circle results and we put a lot of emphasis

497
00:41:57,930 --> 00:42:04,030
on our state testing and we're all very anxious about when those results are going to roll in

498
00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:09,130
and anxious in a good way because I know there's going to be lots of things to celebrate

499
00:42:10,390 --> 00:42:27,270
but a 29% increases pretty incredible. What would you account besides phenomenal teaching and all the

500
00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:30,350
for that big increase at this point.

501
00:42:31,150 --> 00:42:33,730
As you know, the beginning of your benchmarks,

502
00:42:34,070 --> 00:42:37,330
what they measure proficiency at increases throughout the year.

503
00:42:37,750 --> 00:42:41,690
So it increasingly gets incrementally harder for a child to meet that standard.

504
00:42:42,290 --> 00:42:43,750
So to show that growth is tremendous,

505
00:42:44,870 --> 00:42:48,090
we are very fortunate when we think about the population of students

506
00:42:48,090 --> 00:42:50,990
that are eligible to attend Pre-Kindergarten

507
00:42:50,990 --> 00:42:56,190
services that we are able to get the kids in as early as possible

508
00:42:56,190 --> 00:43:02,350
and teach them literacy and math skills while immersing them in science and social studies concepts,

509
00:43:02,750 --> 00:43:08,430
which puts them on a path and strong tradition for success as soon as they hit our doors

510
00:43:08,430 --> 00:43:13,570
and kindergarten beyond. And so, when you think about, this is our third year of implementation

511
00:43:13,570 --> 00:43:19,950
for full-day pre-Kindergarten, that's tremendous. Students had the opportunity to learn all day,

512
00:43:20,130 --> 00:43:25,990
immersed in play-based learning, very experiential learning, which will be enhanced when our

513
00:43:25,990 --> 00:43:31,370
campus opens next year so you're super excited about that but we have a dedicated team of teachers

514
00:43:31,370 --> 00:43:37,370
over there that really have embraced utilization of strong high-quality instructional materials

515
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:44,410
and a really designing learning to match the students needs and so you know they're full of energy

516
00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:51,030
over there it's so we're just very thankful for the staff that we have and the learning that's happening so

517
00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:54,650
definitely some kudos as we think, you know, when kids, you know, I

518
00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:58,010
mentioned that that cohort of students performed lower on

519
00:43:58,010 --> 00:44:01,070
the beginning of year than the previous year of cohort. And so for

520
00:44:01,070 --> 00:44:05,110
them to have the opportunity to impact them positively for

521
00:44:05,110 --> 00:44:09,200
academic success as tremendous. So they showed huge growth this year.

522
00:44:11,210 --> 00:44:16,470
Well, we all, we all know and we're hearing through different areas

523
00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:24,550
that closing the gap and growth is what we're looking at. And obviously the play base learning

524
00:44:24,550 --> 00:44:30,390
and the experiential learning is certainly coming through for these kiddos and you're right.

525
00:44:31,370 --> 00:44:38,490
We would meet a glitful not to mention that the transformation of that campus we think is going

526
00:44:38,490 --> 00:44:45,110
to have at even more positive impact. It is a campus full of energy. If you're ever running

527
00:44:45,110 --> 00:44:51,070
low on energy go visit that campus because they they start from the get go those little

528
00:44:51,070 --> 00:44:57,270
legs are churning and they are ready to go so it is a fun place to visit but it's fun

529
00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:59,970
based on learning so thank you to

530
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,400
If you take for guiding and leading that campus, and that's not to collect the other things, but it's just very exciting to see those young learners making that much progress.

531
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:26,340
Thank you for bringing all of this to us. We're looking forward to celebrating lots of things when we get the star results in addition to these pieces as well. Thank you so much.

532
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:27,460
Thank you.

533
00:45:36,810 --> 00:45:45,570
Okay, board next on your agenda, you have a rather lengthy consent, a chunk of

534
00:45:46,310 --> 00:45:52,930
documents that I hope you have been able to review. Are there any questions or comments about

535
00:45:52,930 --> 00:45:54,390
anything in consent?

536
00:46:01,210 --> 00:46:06,390
Okay, I know that Ms. McLaughlin specifically you talk to one of

537
00:46:06,390 --> 00:46:14,950
ones about the offset now, the regional school for the death program, and that was kind

538
00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:21,070
of convoluted, but I believe all that was taken in there.

539
00:46:21,770 --> 00:46:25,870
So at this time board, this is an action item I'd like to entertain a motion.

540
00:46:26,130 --> 00:46:29,810
Madam President, I'd like to move to approve the consent agenda as presented by staff.

541
00:46:30,570 --> 00:46:32,970
We have a motion by John, do we have a second?

542
00:46:32,970 --> 00:46:39,490
I'll second. Second, by Amanda. Any other questions or comments?

543
00:46:40,770 --> 00:46:44,570
All those in favor? Any opposed?

544
00:46:46,010 --> 00:46:47,790
Seeing none, motion carries.

545
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,820
Next on our agenda we have

546
00:46:57,660 --> 00:47:06,200
looking at action items and this will be the adoption of our 2026-2027 budget presented by

547
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:13,760
Dr. Kyle Pien Assistant Superintendent Business and Technology, and you were kind of giving us shades of this early or calm.

548
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:20,060
So you do whatever you need to do to make sure we're all on the same page here.

549
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:27,080
I'm going to be brief. This is really just a summation and totals for the full process that actually adopting the budget.

550
00:47:27,100 --> 00:47:29,320
So I won't go through everything I've already covered.

551
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:40,780
We've gone through that at length already and so just a highlight of our budget amounts so that the three funds that we work with a lot of funds

552
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:51,580
Throughout the district but there's three that are assigned for the board adoption and so these are the general funds student Trish and Fund and dead service fund that are here before you and so

553
00:47:51,580 --> 00:48:04,580
the Bree that we are looking at tonight have the 226,195,440 dollars appropriated to the general fund.

554
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:21,560
The student and nutrition fund, 8,586,799,759 dollars and then the debt service fund at 94,618,000.

555
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:27,360
and $777. I don't know if I'm having all these numbers run around, I don't know if I'm saving

556
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,760
around anymore. But these are all presented at the function level, which is where the board

557
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,260
adopts that and then really if we ever need to exceed or move between those visitor required

558
00:48:36,260 --> 00:48:42,120
budget amendment and I would bring it back to you. That is the three presented budgets proposed

559
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,280
for adoption tonight.

560
00:48:47,710 --> 00:48:50,470
Board, any questions or comments for Dr. Pin?

561
00:48:54,750 --> 00:48:56,570
Seeing none board this is an

562
00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:11,430
for the General Fund, and the total amount of $126 million, $195,440,

563
00:49:12,290 --> 00:49:17,510
the student nutrition fund and the total amount of $8,586,759,

564
00:49:17,510 --> 00:49:25,990
dollars, and the service fund in the total amount of $94,618,707 dollars, and by the

565
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:28,070
function code as presented by the administration.

566
00:49:29,230 --> 00:49:30,430
We have a motion by Becca.

567
00:49:30,570 --> 00:49:31,510
Do we have a second?

568
00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:32,690
How second?

569
00:49:34,390 --> 00:49:35,750
And a second by John.

570
00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:38,690
Any additional questions or comments?

571
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,340
Seeing none, all those in favor?

572
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,300
Any opposed?

573
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:51,020
Seeing no opposition, motion carries.

574
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:54,800
Thank you once again, Dr. Pinn.

575
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,800
Tightening belts is never fun.

576
00:49:59,140 --> 00:50:01,700
Those are never fun conversations.

577
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,700
But I just want to add that the board has also tightened their belts

578
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:12,060
and lowered their spending.

579
00:50:12,060 --> 00:50:23,040
And certainly wasn't hugely impactful for this, but it is our obligation to follow what the rest of the district is doing as well.

580
00:50:24,340 --> 00:50:34,140
So we appreciate your fortitude and your pushing forward with us, and we fully support the budget that has been brought forward to.

581
00:50:34,140 --> 00:50:36,180
Thank you very much. It is a collective effort.

582
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:37,420
Thank you.

583
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,820
I'll turn over to my page so you don't have to do that.

584
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,540
and I'm just going to keep rolling here.

585
00:50:50,660 --> 00:50:53,140
You bet, so this is consider an order

586
00:50:53,140 --> 00:50:57,760
of authorizing the issuance of unlimited tax refunding bonds.

587
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,440
And I'm not going to read the rest of that,

588
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,780
but Dr. Pan, you're up again.

589
00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:07,240
OK, so hilltop securities are district financial advisor,

590
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,600
periodically reviews the bond market

591
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,940
as to be the appropriateness of refunding

592
00:51:11,940 --> 00:51:15,620
or refinancing the district's outstanding general obligation debt.

593
00:51:15,620 --> 00:51:20,040
The market conditions exist now to make it worth bringing this forward.

594
00:51:20,540 --> 00:51:24,780
We've done this as a district you've seen this probably about once a year, maybe a little sooner,

595
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,480
maybe a little later sometimes, but I know we had one about a year ago, and so that's what this

596
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:35,800
is tonight. Very similar to refinancing your home for a lower interest rate to save on overall spending

597
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:43,380
over the course of that payment. The presentation I was prepared by our financial advisor Jeff

598
00:51:43,380 --> 00:51:46,460
Robert, he is currently out this evening, so I'll be presenting on his behalf.

599
00:51:46,980 --> 00:51:50,160
Jeff Goldis, who is our bone counsel, is present with us this evening.

600
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,980
He's also just, those two, the team of them, I can't share enough just how great they are.

601
00:51:57,460 --> 00:52:00,260
Jeff is always available, both, I guess, both of that matter.

602
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,960
Jeff Robert is very available and always has a lot of good insights and just some expertise

603
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:10,060
and really works with some of the people at T.E.A. and the interpretation of the way some

604
00:52:10,060 --> 00:52:16,420
this additional state aid. I was discussing a very helpful in that front and just a resource

605
00:52:16,420 --> 00:52:20,800
for a lot of people across the state. And then Mr. Goldless Bond Council is always very

606
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:25,040
responsive as well. Any time, just a question, it comes up to make sure we're handling the

607
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,700
bond funds in the most appropriate way and meeting all the laws and rules around them. He's

608
00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:34,060
always very responsive and helpful with that front. So we have a really good team supporting

609
00:52:34,060 --> 00:52:36,180
us on that front.

610
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:42,720
With that, I will jump into a very short presentation, because we, like I said, we've gone

611
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:46,360
to the process before, so I'm going through three topics tonight.

612
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:52,520
One is what could this refunding look like, so the market changes every day and so we're

613
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,820
going to go through some parameters that give us some time to meet this.

614
00:52:55,900 --> 00:53:00,320
We have to be within those parameters to meet it, so it's just really a proposed what the refunding

615
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:06,900
look like on current market situations, second the parameter order and the things that surround

616
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:14,200
that and then the proposed parameters that we would ask you at authorizes. Basically if

617
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,220
the market conditions don't meet that within the time allowed then we're not able to sell.

618
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:25,620
You're just giving us permission to meet it if certain factors. I'm sure so this is a projected

619
00:53:27,180 --> 00:53:28,720
model of what it could look like.

620
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,900
So the main number that we want to talk about is to me.

621
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:35,140
It's most important is that bottom right number of about 2.3 million.

622
00:53:35,740 --> 00:53:39,920
That would be basically the savings potential savings of this refunding.

623
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,760
So it's taking some bonds from 2016 and 2017.

624
00:53:43,940 --> 00:53:45,560
You can see at the bottom there are those series.

625
00:53:46,340 --> 00:53:51,860
And it's taking basically those later payments and moving that principal payment up.

626
00:53:51,860 --> 00:53:55,100
You'll see the tables on the left there.

627
00:53:55,340 --> 00:53:58,120
It has the 16 and 17 series combined,

628
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:59,360
and you can see principal interest.

629
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,900
And it's really moving some of that principle up.

630
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,640
And so the table on the right

631
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,900
has that earlier principal payment

632
00:54:05,900 --> 00:54:11,200
and then the smaller interest payments over the course of that.

633
00:54:11,260 --> 00:54:15,540
And so those combined would get us at about 2.3 million savings.

634
00:54:16,180 --> 00:54:17,680
Assuming we made all the parameters

635
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,200
that we would like in this model.

636
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:21,540
So a lot of things happen.

637
00:54:21,540 --> 00:54:26,640
And if you follow the market changes significantly day to day, and so that's what we'll ask

638
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:31,560
for the parameters on the time to meet these, but we feel optimistic to meet these,

639
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:37,040
but this is the, you'll also see that present value savings there at the top right,

640
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,640
is about present value savings, about nine percent.

641
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:43,940
I'm in a true interest card, about four percent, but really the dollar amount is what I want to

642
00:54:43,940 --> 00:54:47,660
focus on because some of the terminology we can get lost in what all that means and how they

643
00:54:50,670 --> 00:54:56,650
the other thing that's sorry, I want to maximize this to that additional state aid formula

644
00:54:56,650 --> 00:55:00,810
has changed in the way they take care of that with homestead exemption.

645
00:55:01,210 --> 00:55:07,910
And so another thing this allows us to do is to maximize the state's portion that we have.

646
00:55:08,290 --> 00:55:13,310
It's a very convoluted formula, but by this increasing that principle a little bit,

647
00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:16,310
we'll also up with the state will give us.

648
00:55:16,310 --> 00:55:20,490
And so that's really what we're another thing that we're accomplishing beyond the savings

649
00:55:21,210 --> 00:55:25,150
Of what we're paying on debt. We're also increasing what we get from the state a little bit

650
00:55:27,550 --> 00:55:33,730
And so the parameter order will these are a lot of the criteria that are included in that document

651
00:55:33,730 --> 00:55:34,930
we've had

652
00:55:34,930 --> 00:55:37,250
a lot of

653
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:40,710
calls with our bond council and our underwriters and their council and

654
00:55:41,450 --> 00:55:44,030
But out things to market and things

655
00:55:44,810 --> 00:55:48,470
But these are the parameters that are required to be concluded.

656
00:55:49,270 --> 00:55:53,850
And so moving forward to this slide, these are the parameters with their specifics that we are

657
00:55:53,850 --> 00:55:57,530
guaranteeing to meet or we will not do the refunding.

658
00:55:58,410 --> 00:56:04,850
So we will have the projection, the minimum savings is this at a 3% we believe will exceed that.

659
00:56:04,930 --> 00:56:07,690
But that is a minimum criteria to meet.

660
00:56:07,890 --> 00:56:09,690
The delegation is within a year.

661
00:56:09,690 --> 00:56:15,770
So if this criteria is not met in a year, then I would have to basically come back and ask again for this to occur.

662
00:56:16,290 --> 00:56:21,490
And then the maximum principle we would look at is 15 million, it's eligible for this.

663
00:56:22,830 --> 00:56:29,390
While we, or I would have the delegation for a year, if you approve, we would hope to do this in the very near future,

664
00:56:29,930 --> 00:56:34,190
unless something significantly changes in our financial advisor feels it would be wise to delay.

665
00:56:34,190 --> 00:56:46,310
But this is something that we plan on doing to have in our August 26 payment that would maximize the state aid, so this is something we intend to do the very near future.

666
00:56:48,830 --> 00:56:52,430
And then I believe that completes the presentation.

667
00:56:53,010 --> 00:56:58,400
Mr. Goldis also has stack of papers that you would, I think President Secretary would then sign.

668
00:56:59,310 --> 00:57:03,290
This afternoon I would keep those if you take action, I would get those to you this evening to sign.

669
00:57:03,290 --> 00:57:04,250
and make

670
00:57:06,870 --> 00:57:12,290
any questions on just the principle of how this is,

671
00:57:12,310 --> 00:57:15,030
or can I know you've seen it regularly in the past?

672
00:57:16,870 --> 00:57:19,690
For any questions, comments for Kyle?

673
00:57:21,630 --> 00:57:22,210
Real quick.

674
00:57:23,890 --> 00:57:30,250
Yet again, thank you to you and your department for all of the changes

675
00:57:30,250 --> 00:57:34,170
that you guys have to keep up with all of the changes

676
00:57:34,170 --> 00:57:38,150
that they're making, that they haven't decided on what they want to do and all the things.

677
00:57:39,170 --> 00:57:41,670
You guys have to keep up with all of this.

678
00:57:43,810 --> 00:57:46,390
It just amazed me every single time because it's

679
00:57:46,390 --> 00:57:50,910
always something. It's something to change and we don't know who they haven't kind of figured it out

680
00:57:50,910 --> 00:57:58,410
yet. So again, thank you, guys, for all the hard work and trying to stay afloat. I think I just appreciate

681
00:57:58,410 --> 00:58:05,270
you. Yeah, great team. And especially in this realm here, work with a lot of great people on the

682
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:09,130
of the district and very knowledgeable, but definitely appreciate that.

683
00:58:11,830 --> 00:58:19,230
Kind of, I was just going to add, you know, an elementary analogy here is that,

684
00:58:19,310 --> 00:58:24,530
you and your department have become masters at juggling with three balls.

685
00:58:25,130 --> 00:58:31,930
And then, ever once a while, another ball is thrown in, and you're still mastering that.

686
00:58:32,330 --> 00:58:35,390
So, on top of John's comment, thank you so much.

687
00:58:35,390 --> 00:58:45,750
Thank you for bringing this to us as a way to do some refunding and to help our district.

688
00:58:46,130 --> 00:58:49,510
But not everybody is in a position to be able to do that.

689
00:58:49,830 --> 00:59:02,550
So we appreciate your expertise, your thought, and hilltop that's well in supporting us to make the most of our money that we have.

690
00:59:02,550 --> 00:59:03,550
Thank you.

691
00:59:04,270 --> 00:59:04,990
Thank you.

692
00:59:05,170 --> 00:59:06,830
Board any other questions?

693
00:59:07,290 --> 00:59:07,750
Comments.

694
00:59:10,540 --> 00:59:10,740
Thank Board.

695
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:12,160
This is an action item.

696
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,520
I'd like to entertain a motion.

697
00:59:15,420 --> 00:59:19,320
Madam President, I move to approve the order authorizing the refunding bonds.

698
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,240
We have a motion by Amanda.

699
00:59:22,540 --> 00:59:23,500
Do we have a second?

700
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:24,440
I'll second.

701
00:59:24,740 --> 00:59:26,200
And a second by John.

702
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,360
Any questions or comments?

703
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:31,340
All those in favor?

704
00:59:33,260 --> 00:59:34,140
Any opposed?

705
00:59:34,140 --> 00:59:37,200
See you in none, Mushing Curves.

706
00:59:53,140 --> 00:59:59,780
Okay, next up on our agenda, we have Board Policy FAC local presented this evening.

707
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:14,440
All right, good evening, President Montgomery, Ms. McLaughlin and members of the board. Tonight, the proposed revisions to board policy

708
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:29,320
FFFAC local, aligned the district's local policy with authority already provided under state law. These updates are designed to improve student health and safety while creating more efficient procedures for campuses and extracurricular activities.

709
01:00:30,460 --> 01:00:34,680
First, the policy would allow the district to purchase and maintain certain over-the-counter

710
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:40,700
medications, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and mineral, for use during overnight

711
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:41,620
school trips.

712
01:00:42,620 --> 01:00:46,660
This change eliminates the needs for parents to send individual medication bottles when

713
01:00:46,660 --> 01:00:50,160
they wish their child to have access to these common over-the-counter medications.

714
01:00:51,740 --> 01:00:57,640
Second, the policy formally authorizes trained personnel to administer and use unassigned

715
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:03,240
epinephrine and emergency situations when an individual is experiencing antiflexus.

716
01:01:03,940 --> 01:01:08,620
The district would ensure that each campus has a sufficient number of train staff members

717
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:13,600
available during operating hours to respond to these emergencies and life-threatening allergic

718
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:14,300
reactions.

719
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:21,440
Finally, the policy authorizes train school personnel to administer unassigned medication for

720
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,600
respiratory distress when an individual is reasonably believed to be experiencing a respiratory

721
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:32,460
emergency. Similar to the epinephrine provisions, the district would maintain adequate campus coverage

722
01:01:32,460 --> 01:01:36,060
by ensuring train personnel are available during regular school hours.

723
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,560
Together, these updates strengthen the district's ability to respond quickly to medical

724
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,820
emergencies and enhance the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors.

725
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:52,040
And this was brought to us by Health Services and our Shack Committee,

726
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,480
and administration would like to recommend that the Board of Trustees

727
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,820
approve the revisions to board policy FFAC local as presented.

728
01:02:00,780 --> 01:02:02,400
Are there any questions at this time?

729
01:02:03,420 --> 01:02:04,280
I have one question.

730
01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:10,980
Would this extend to train personnel such as school nurses that are with the, for example,

731
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,660
with the band at football games?

732
01:02:12,780 --> 01:02:17,940
Would they be able to carry FNF from pins and inhalers that are unsigned?

733
01:02:19,380 --> 01:02:22,920
So, for the, you don't mind for overnight school trips?

734
01:02:23,620 --> 01:02:27,900
No, for, um, if they're at a competition or if they're off campus.

735
01:02:28,260 --> 01:02:29,660
But they have a school nurse with that.

736
01:02:29,660 --> 01:02:35,640
If it's at one of our campuses, and it's a school, and it's a school event, yes, they would.

737
01:02:36,060 --> 01:02:39,660
Either them or administrators are trained on epinephrine every year as well.

738
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,640
So it's something that they get in their regular compliance training.

739
01:02:44,430 --> 01:02:47,050
They would be trained, but they wouldn't have one with them.

740
01:02:47,050 --> 01:02:52,130
There would be one at the school for them to administer ESP and

741
01:02:55,390 --> 01:02:56,990
each campus will have one.

742
01:02:59,790 --> 01:03:03,450
So, Clint, this is specifically for overnight trips.

743
01:03:04,290 --> 01:03:09,930
That's just related to the, to the over-the-counter medications, such as Iber-Prophorin,

744
01:03:10,490 --> 01:03:11,610
acetaminophenid bed and drill.

745
01:03:12,170 --> 01:03:16,530
Like right now, parents can give that with a form.

746
01:03:16,610 --> 01:03:19,810
This would allow them to just put the form for them to be able to have access to these

747
01:03:19,810 --> 01:03:24,450
on medications without, for example, like on a band trip, where you have 500

748
01:03:24,450 --> 01:03:28,350
and something kids go into the Rose Bowl, you may have 80 different

749
01:03:28,350 --> 01:03:31,950
Tylenol's that they have to keep up with, given by the parents, 80 different

750
01:03:31,950 --> 01:03:35,730
ibroprofen and 80 different menidural. This would allow for us just to have

751
01:03:36,610 --> 01:03:40,530
larger bottles without having to keep track of all the individual ones.

752
01:03:40,770 --> 01:03:47,330
Costco size bottles, first things like that. But it doesn't, it doesn't change

753
01:03:47,330 --> 01:03:54,470
anything in the day-to-day operations of my kid has a headache goes to the clinic and that

754
01:03:54,470 --> 01:03:55,410
that stays the same.

755
01:03:55,790 --> 01:03:57,210
Not at all just for overnight trips.

756
01:03:58,190 --> 01:03:59,550
Thank you.

757
01:03:59,750 --> 01:04:01,970
Any other questions or clarification?

758
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:05,900
Okay.

759
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,580
Board, this is an action item I'd like to entertain a motion.

760
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:17,760
Madam President, I move to approve the Shack Recommendation to AISD policy at that they

761
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:24,160
to include stock, epinephrine, stock, respiratory distress, medication, and stock, non-prescription

762
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:29,440
medication for overnight trips. Okay? We have the motion by Amanda. Do we have a second?

763
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:38,180
I'll second by Becca. Any further questions or discussions? Madam President, I just like to say

764
01:04:38,180 --> 01:04:42,280
I had the honor of being able to serve on the chat committee this past year and I worked with

765
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:58,460
The folks from the district that also serve, as well as a number of members from our community that volunteer their time, and it was very much consensus in that group that these were common sense changes that needed to be made.

766
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:06,360
Not only for our nurses and for folks that are on these overnight trips, but also just to bring us up to.

767
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:11,980
par with the rest of our neighbors who have a bit of a depends already on their care.

768
01:05:12,380 --> 01:05:14,660
And this is not in any way increase.

769
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,260
I have this gold burden on the district as well.

770
01:05:17,580 --> 01:05:18,780
That was also something that we talked about.

771
01:05:18,980 --> 01:05:23,700
But just one thing, everyone who continues to volunteer their time to that can, it is important

772
01:05:23,700 --> 01:05:27,000
and those are important discussions for us to be having.

773
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:27,560
Absolutely.

774
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:28,160
Thank you.

775
01:05:28,380 --> 01:05:28,800
Thank you.

776
01:05:29,420 --> 01:05:29,460
No.

777
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:30,100
That committee.

778
01:05:31,220 --> 01:05:31,480
Okay.

779
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,920
So, we're at the point for a vote, all those in favor,

780
01:05:38,660 --> 01:05:39,680
any opposed?

781
01:05:41,660 --> 01:05:43,460
Seeing none, motion carries.

782
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,560
Thank you, Clint, and thank you, Vicki.

783
01:05:55,420 --> 01:06:05,400
Next on our agenda is the optional flexible school day program presented this evening by Jessica Warlick, director of student services.

784
01:06:07,060 --> 01:06:10,240
Becky, you're still seated, you're on the list here, Kamana.

785
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,780
Becky, we can turn director of guidance and future readiness.

786
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:15,480
How I did that to her?

787
01:06:27,410 --> 01:06:27,910
All right.

788
01:06:28,250 --> 01:06:30,190
Good evening, President Montgomery.

789
01:06:30,490 --> 01:06:32,610
Mrs. McLaughlin and Board of Trustees.

790
01:06:33,690 --> 01:06:38,210
This evening, I wanted to present the option for the application

791
01:06:38,210 --> 01:06:41,410
to TEA for the optional flexible school day program.

792
01:06:42,550 --> 01:06:44,790
This program would not be a solo program.

793
01:06:45,230 --> 01:06:49,490
It would exist as a part of our already currently running full-time

794
01:06:49,490 --> 01:06:55,610
academy program, that's offered at the Facility Dillard, and it'd be an incentive to our students

795
01:06:55,610 --> 01:07:00,430
that meet the specific criteria in order to qualify. So I just wanted to run y'all through

796
01:07:00,430 --> 01:07:05,610
what the current program looks like and how we would use this alongside the current full-time

797
01:07:05,610 --> 01:07:13,170
equal academy program. All right, so the current structure for full-time equal academy is 12th and 11th

798
01:07:13,170 --> 01:07:17,310
grade students who are credit deficient or are in danger of not graduating with their co-hard.

799
01:07:17,310 --> 01:07:28,090
So everything that we're doing in full-time legal academy is trying to ensure that all of our students graduate in a timely manner is possible, but all of them are credit deficient in some way.

800
01:07:28,530 --> 01:07:31,410
It emphasizes credit recovery through accelerated coursework.

801
01:07:31,910 --> 01:07:35,190
They currently attend from 845 to 345 pm.

802
01:07:35,890 --> 01:07:39,310
Egenuity is the online platform that we use for progress monitoring.

803
01:07:40,790 --> 01:07:46,790
What would happen if we are able to do the optional flexible school day program, which I know I'm going to say wrong in a second.

804
01:07:47,490 --> 01:07:52,830
Becky can spit out the initials I can't get the acronym down, so it would create more options

805
01:07:52,830 --> 01:07:58,210
for our students. So currently, the students that end up at full-time look at me as you can imagine,

806
01:07:58,650 --> 01:08:03,750
are students that basically have major life issues along with the fact that they're trying to graduate

807
01:08:03,750 --> 01:08:14,610
from high school. So they may have things such as being providers for their families. They need to also have

808
01:08:14,610 --> 01:08:20,690
child care. This would also allow an incentive for our students that end up there as

809
01:08:21,490 --> 01:08:26,790
12th graders to move more quickly through our program. So we would incentivize them by

810
01:08:26,790 --> 01:08:31,690
giving them an option. Hey, if you can meet this criteria, you could qualify for this program.

811
01:08:32,550 --> 01:08:37,730
And it also gives us the ability with full-time eagle academy, we're running a full day.

812
01:08:37,890 --> 01:08:44,190
If we can offer two separate sessions for four hours, we could actually potentially double the number of

813
01:08:44,190 --> 01:08:48,990
students that sit there right now, so it would be helpful for that program as well.

814
01:08:50,090 --> 01:08:56,230
The optional flexible school day program allows districts to provide flexible hours and days

815
01:08:56,230 --> 01:09:00,610
of attendance for students who meet at least one of the requirements of TEA and the Texas

816
01:09:00,610 --> 01:09:06,710
Education Code 29.022A. The goal is to improve graduation rates for students who are in danger

817
01:09:06,710 --> 01:09:11,870
of dropping out of schools, have dropped out or are behind in core subject courses. The goal

818
01:09:11,870 --> 01:09:15,950
The program is to improve graduation rates for students who are in danger of dropping out or

819
01:09:15,950 --> 01:09:18,170
significantly behind credits for graduation.

820
01:09:18,810 --> 01:09:23,970
And we do have those students, you know, anywhere from 100 to 120 a year that tend to

821
01:09:23,970 --> 01:09:25,110
graduate from this program.

822
01:09:26,190 --> 01:09:30,070
This application, if you were to approve it, needs to be approved annually.

823
01:09:30,610 --> 01:09:33,850
It has to be approved as a regular agenda item.

824
01:09:34,370 --> 01:09:37,850
The Office of School Leadership and Support will submit the application annually.

825
01:09:37,850 --> 01:09:44,830
And once application is submitted, it could take TEA up to 30 days for approval for you to be able to operate this program.

826
01:09:46,590 --> 01:09:52,170
All right, so the next little part there is what the state says the requirement is.

827
01:09:52,510 --> 01:10:02,890
So basically, you would be able to receive funding for students attendance at the completion of 45 minutes of instruction on any given day for the contact time recorded.

828
01:10:02,890 --> 01:10:11,910
So since they're doing virtual programming, basically the hours and minutes that they are working on a computer will be a lot of it as their 45 minutes.

829
01:10:12,630 --> 01:10:15,010
That does not mean students are attending for 45 minutes.

830
01:10:15,130 --> 01:10:22,870
That means that we will put them into the structure we already have, which means they start at that eight hours, all of them.

831
01:10:23,090 --> 01:10:26,650
And they might qualify for the option to reduce to four hours.

832
01:10:26,890 --> 01:10:30,990
But we are not asking for you to only allow students to come for 45 minutes a day.

833
01:10:30,990 --> 01:10:32,170
don't hear that part.

834
01:10:33,490 --> 01:10:37,130
We're saying can they qualify for a half-day solution?

835
01:10:38,090 --> 01:10:39,770
So the ADA coding is code seven.

836
01:10:39,930 --> 01:10:43,730
We have talked to Kyle and his group to start talking

837
01:10:43,730 --> 01:10:45,450
through what that might look like for coding.

838
01:10:45,750 --> 01:10:48,130
And for attendance, Amy Beto is involved in that as well

839
01:10:48,130 --> 01:10:51,310
because how we track attendance and what that looks like

840
01:10:51,310 --> 01:10:53,150
will be very important for this program.

841
01:10:54,130 --> 01:10:56,450
And we do have to submit that information to TEA

842
01:10:56,450 --> 01:10:57,990
and you only as well.

843
01:10:58,710 --> 01:11:00,310
All right, for the full-time legal academy,

844
01:11:00,310 --> 01:11:02,090
which is a program we already have.

845
01:11:02,490 --> 01:11:04,850
Your students are the way we identify those students

846
01:11:04,850 --> 01:11:08,070
is your non-completters of their 12th grade year

847
01:11:08,070 --> 01:11:09,750
from the previous year's core cohort

848
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:11,350
or an automatic placement.

849
01:11:12,350 --> 01:11:15,070
Your current cohort students who are two

850
01:11:15,070 --> 01:11:16,290
or more cohort's behind.

851
01:11:16,550 --> 01:11:18,730
So your 12th graders that are actually sitting

852
01:11:18,730 --> 01:11:20,510
as sophomores credit wise.

853
01:11:21,230 --> 01:11:22,430
They are an automatic placement

854
01:11:22,430 --> 01:11:24,010
into full-time eagul Academy.

855
01:11:24,410 --> 01:11:27,970
What we know is if you were two years behind sitting

856
01:11:27,970 --> 01:11:32,890
at Allen High School, the odds and you completing graduation requirements are slim to none.

857
01:11:33,410 --> 01:11:37,410
So we try to do what we can to maximize our time with those students and get them into a

858
01:11:37,410 --> 01:11:40,190
program to try to successfully graduate them with their cohort.

859
01:11:41,370 --> 01:11:47,730
The current cohort was significant credit deficiencies and your current cohort with counselor

860
01:11:47,730 --> 01:11:52,590
staff identified barriers for on-time graduation, so your students need to work full-time

861
01:11:52,590 --> 01:11:55,170
jobs that may have pregnancy related services.

862
01:11:55,170 --> 01:11:58,390
as some of our McKinney-Vento students fall into that.

863
01:11:58,750 --> 01:12:01,430
We also extend it to the 11th grade cohort

864
01:12:01,430 --> 01:12:03,310
with significant credit deficiencies,

865
01:12:04,210 --> 01:12:06,050
because we can already identify those students

866
01:12:06,050 --> 01:12:09,350
as ones that will meet those requirements in the next year.

867
01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:11,570
So basically what will happen is,

868
01:12:12,070 --> 01:12:14,070
those students are sent to full-time Eagle Academy

869
01:12:14,070 --> 01:12:16,270
based off of an application that's completed

870
01:12:16,270 --> 01:12:17,110
by their counselor.

871
01:12:17,710 --> 01:12:19,150
Once the application is completed,

872
01:12:19,690 --> 01:12:22,030
the counselor sends that to the lead counselor

873
01:12:22,030 --> 01:12:24,150
at the high school, they review the entirety

874
01:12:24,150 --> 01:12:27,750
of that application and determine if they're qualified for full-time legal academy.

875
01:12:28,330 --> 01:12:33,670
They look through special education services in 504 to deem whether or not we can meet all

876
01:12:33,670 --> 01:12:38,830
of those IEP or accommodations as well and then they can be approved for that program.

877
01:12:39,890 --> 01:12:44,790
The way that will integrate the optional flexible school day program is we will work

878
01:12:44,790 --> 01:12:46,710
it alongside full-time legal academy.

879
01:12:47,330 --> 01:12:51,010
So every student will start as a full-time legal academy student.

880
01:12:51,010 --> 01:12:53,530
Juniors will not be eligible for this program.

881
01:12:53,910 --> 01:12:56,750
We feel like that's way too young to start offering the option

882
01:12:56,750 --> 01:12:58,490
of a flexible school day.

883
01:12:58,950 --> 01:13:01,370
So this will be a senior-only program.

884
01:13:02,550 --> 01:13:05,750
When you meet the criteria of having fewer credits

885
01:13:05,750 --> 01:13:09,070
than the ones listed below at the beginning of a nine-week period,

886
01:13:09,610 --> 01:13:10,810
they could become eligible.

887
01:13:11,590 --> 01:13:13,270
Just because their eligible doesn't mean

888
01:13:13,270 --> 01:13:14,890
that they will meet all of the criteria.

889
01:13:15,150 --> 01:13:17,010
They also have to meet the criteria

890
01:13:17,010 --> 01:13:19,110
that are on the considerations below.

891
01:13:19,110 --> 01:13:22,070
So, do they have satisfactory course progress?

892
01:13:22,710 --> 01:13:26,110
Are they meeting the attendance criteria already currently?

893
01:13:26,510 --> 01:13:29,230
And are they meeting the behavioral expectations of the campus?

894
01:13:29,490 --> 01:13:33,890
So, if they're doing all of those things in conjunction, then the staff at full-time

895
01:13:33,890 --> 01:13:39,910
legal academy will put together a list and there will be a team that looks at those specific

896
01:13:39,910 --> 01:13:44,890
students and will offer that ability for them to move into that four-day program.

897
01:13:44,890 --> 01:13:51,930
And then they can choose which session they would like to attend based on whatever their needs are.

898
01:13:52,570 --> 01:13:57,810
So if it's met at the, we will start everyone and we won't look at any of those applicants until the nine week mark.

899
01:13:58,010 --> 01:14:03,190
So everyone has to complete nine weeks so that we have accurate data to be able to see whether or not they would qualify.

900
01:14:03,890 --> 01:14:08,490
Here are the spots that are available. Someone asked me, why is it only 32 spots?

901
01:14:08,490 --> 01:14:12,150
you can only have so many of these students with one teacher.

902
01:14:12,370 --> 01:14:14,990
We only have one teacher at full-time Eagle Academy.

903
01:14:15,730 --> 01:14:18,530
So that's why it's also important to add some flexibility

904
01:14:18,530 --> 01:14:20,610
to allow her to serve more students.

905
01:14:21,810 --> 01:14:24,730
So 32 spots that be 2am to PM sessions.

906
01:14:25,410 --> 01:14:28,210
And then we are still allowing for full-time spots as well

907
01:14:28,210 --> 01:14:29,870
because we will still have those students.

908
01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:33,470
This is what the proposed schedule is.

909
01:14:33,570 --> 01:14:35,490
It's the current schedule, which is full-time,

910
01:14:35,610 --> 01:14:37,270
which is 845 to 345.

911
01:14:37,270 --> 01:14:43,630
or they could attend the morning session, which would be 845 to 1245 and then we'll

912
01:14:43,630 --> 01:14:49,650
overlap the PM session from 1145 to 345. Transportation is already available if you're

913
01:14:49,650 --> 01:14:54,790
full-time student. We're working with transportation to figure out an option for after

914
01:14:54,790 --> 01:14:59,970
noon session students currently. That hasn't been fully fleshed out but we are working on that right now.

915
01:15:01,460 --> 01:15:12,120
Just some data points for you. If you want to look at the last three years and what those look like for graduation rates, if you look at the graduates, you have 84% of them graduated.

916
01:15:13,100 --> 01:15:27,440
The continuous means, those are the ones that didn't complete within the school year, so they'll roll as automatic students that begin the following school year. So they're not gone and done, that just means they have to continue. And then the seven percent are students that have withdrawn.

917
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:36,180
So you can look across the three years to see that you have a pretty good graduation rate, quite a few students that are graduating through this program.

918
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:45,820
And then your demographics, if you look at those, the majority of these students will be qualified at risk at some threshold.

919
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:51,620
Your male, female, demographic, you tend to have their tend to be more male students at this time.

920
01:15:51,620 --> 01:15:58,560
McKinney Vento is the MV if you're wondering, you're homeless in the status right there, and then PRS is

921
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,100
pregnancy related services.

922
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:04,380
So, we have seen that increase over the last few years.

923
01:16:05,820 --> 01:16:10,920
We're special services, we do have some of those students that are 504 students or

924
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,680
special education students or left students as well.

925
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:18,460
So that's across your three years, how many we are serving throughout this program.

926
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,120
And again, this is full-time Eagle Academy.

927
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:28,860
For the ethnicity breakdowns, those are your breakdowns for ethnicity as well.

928
01:16:29,900 --> 01:16:33,100
It's pretty diverse throughout that program.

929
01:16:33,500 --> 01:16:35,540
That just gives you the list throughout the three years

930
01:16:35,540 --> 01:16:38,800
if that's in the interest to you.

931
01:16:39,220 --> 01:16:42,080
And then for the integration of full-time Eagle Academy

932
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:44,700
and the optional flexible school day program,

933
01:16:45,460 --> 01:16:47,780
basically it allows students to choose from different schedules

934
01:16:47,780 --> 01:16:53,220
than what they currently have, rather than sitting for eight hours on an online program,

935
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,920
which I know may not sound like a lot, but to sit in front of a computer and work online

936
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:02,640
for eight hours is a pretty extensive amount of time to sit. And so allowing these students

937
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:07,420
to have some different scheduling, learning formats and attendance options, but they can still

938
01:17:07,420 --> 01:17:12,220
meet the educational requirements that we've put before them. It will give us a few key

939
01:17:12,220 --> 01:17:17,400
benefits that personalized learning improved attendance and engagement better at academic outcomes

940
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,380
Hopefully, we still see the tremendous, you know, graduation rates throughout that program.

941
01:17:23,220 --> 01:17:29,420
And it just overall, I think, increases what we can offer through the opportunities to students that don't meet our traditional setting.

942
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,640
And that is all I have for you guys tonight.

943
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:39,040
Your approval basically allows us to submit the application to TEA.

944
01:17:39,140 --> 01:17:44,940
So we cannot submit the application for the program without your approval and without you signing off on the application.

945
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:50,860
that is that is what we have for each night. What can what questions can I answer for you?

946
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,020
Thank you Jessica board any questions comments?

947
01:17:57,460 --> 01:18:03,220
Just a couple of comments and kind of age myself and Bikki here of the probably almost 20 years ago

948
01:18:03,220 --> 01:18:06,540
we partnered on some education for some of those students going through Eagle Academy

949
01:18:06,540 --> 01:18:10,960
and that's when I learned about and it was in my job hat and obviously not my board hat

950
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:40,760
But I learned about equal economy and what we offer to the kids and what that means and what that can do for them and their future and I think this is such an amazing program so I'm super excited that we're able to expand and hopefully figure out what the funding looks like and continue to get a few more students in there as we can and as the need arises and I also feel like this is something especially when we did the bond and the renovation of Dillard that

951
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,400
People don't know what all is going on in there.

952
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:53,780
It's got bad misconception, and this is something that I feel like is important for the community to be aware of and important that we offer.

953
01:18:54,180 --> 01:18:54,660
So thank you.

954
01:18:54,780 --> 01:18:56,680
And glad we can work on expanding it.

955
01:18:56,980 --> 01:19:06,720
Yes, and I would hate to not mention L&E runs that program as the teacher of record there, and she does a phenomenal job getting these students completed and graduated.

956
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:11,360
and a lot of kids that might not make it otherwise and so this was her

957
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:15,580
ask was can we give them some flexibility and allow her some some ways to

958
01:19:15,580 --> 01:19:18,900
incentivize these students because she certainly sees the need and how it could

959
01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:20,040
help them.

960
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:29,500
I am. I think this is a great program. I'm very familiar with a similar

961
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:33,560
program and I've seen that the difference that can make in students life and their

962
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:39,220
ability to still earn their diploma, still graduate and inner society with a

963
01:19:39,220 --> 01:19:45,460
I got. So I'm really glad to see us seeking the waivers so that we can offer the partial

964
01:19:45,460 --> 01:19:49,540
day options, especially for those students that are supporting their family or working

965
01:19:49,540 --> 01:19:55,280
or have childcare issues because they've had a child. It's really a gain-changer versus

966
01:19:55,280 --> 01:20:01,340
an all-day program. So congratulations and thank you for bringing that forward. My one additional

967
01:20:01,340 --> 01:20:06,900
question is, considering these are going to be senior students. The diploma is important and I want

968
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:10,140
see them graduate, the CCMR is also hugely important.

969
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,120
Are we planning to or do we currently offer Texas College

970
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:19,200
Bridge or any sort of TSI prep for those students so that we can not

971
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,220
only graduate them but also send them out with the CCMR point?

972
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,400
That is something, and I know Becky's in the crowd right there.

973
01:20:26,580 --> 01:20:29,820
She actually can probably better address that, but I'll let her take that one.

974
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,580
I know we've been discussing it.

975
01:20:32,580 --> 01:20:33,320
Great question.

976
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:40,480
We do offer TSI for the students, in fact, our college and career advisors working with the

977
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:41,020
counselor.

978
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:48,040
Our students at full-time Eagle Academy keep their house counselor and so that way those records

979
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:52,360
and transcripts and information continues when they complete courses it goes back and forth

980
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:58,680
so we're verifying coursework and in that they're also looking at what are we doing post-secondary

981
01:20:58,680 --> 01:20:59,300
as well.

982
01:20:59,300 --> 01:21:07,160
and so we do offer TSI, we look at student interest, we have Colin, come over, we do various

983
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:12,860
things for those students to ensure that if their path is, whatever if their path is post

984
01:21:12,860 --> 01:21:19,300
secondary that we're ensuring they get those visits as well. And then that could look like TSI,

985
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:24,380
I know we've worked with military recruiters as well, going over and visiting with some of those

986
01:21:24,380 --> 01:21:31,680
individuals interested so, and as Jessica mentioned, she is also very instrumental in getting

987
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:37,440
to know those students and looking at what are they looking forward to when they graduate

988
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:39,020
and how can we meet them there.

989
01:21:39,620 --> 01:21:47,260
So, great question and back, we talked about CCMR as hopeful new data to show you as we continue

990
01:21:47,260 --> 01:21:48,980
to present to you about full-time Eagle.

991
01:21:49,340 --> 01:21:49,540
Wonderful.

992
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:50,020
Thank you.

993
01:21:50,220 --> 01:21:50,260
Yes.

994
01:21:50,260 --> 01:21:51,580
I

995
01:21:56,180 --> 01:22:08,940
think this is just one more example that our Board has discussed of ways we can support all of our students, ways we can enhance different

996
01:22:09,740 --> 01:22:17,400
and support our different students needs. Thank you for developing this. Thank you for bringing it to us.

997
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:27,120
I will ask that the one teacher of record will still remain one teacher of record even though we're expanding is that correct?

998
01:22:27,700 --> 01:22:38,460
Yes, yes, she is the one teacher. She does have some paraprofessionals that assist her in that program, but she will is the only one that assist those students and reviews every application through there.

999
01:22:38,460 --> 01:22:39,940
She is a miracle worker.

1000
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,080
Yes, yes, the way she connects and works with us.

1001
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:53,120
So any other questions, comments, or this is an action item I'd like to entertain a

1002
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:53,520
motion?

1003
01:22:54,420 --> 01:23:03,440
I move to approve the application to E.A. for the optional flexible school day program.

1004
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,340
It's a male tool to say that.

1005
01:23:06,740 --> 01:23:09,260
We have a motion by Veronica, do we have the second?

1006
01:23:09,260 --> 01:23:12,980
That's second. And a second by Sarah,

1007
01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:17,310
all those in favor.

1008
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,660
Any opposed? Seeing none,

1009
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:23,740
motion carries.

1010
01:23:25,460 --> 01:23:26,380
Thank you very much.

1011
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:27,600
Thank you.

1012
01:23:34,870 --> 01:23:42,090
Hey, board next on our agenda, we have TASPY assembly, delicate, and alternate selection.

1013
01:23:42,090 --> 01:23:45,390
So, this past year,

1014
01:23:47,430 --> 01:24:09,930
Bill Parker was our delicate and Veronica just was our alternate, and so historically our board has rolled the alternate up to the delicate so that would put Veronica if she agrees to continue to move into that delicate role for the assembly.

1015
01:24:09,930 --> 01:24:20,890
and we would need an alternate, trustee, Becca, Becca, sorry, Becca near, as expressed interest in serving as the alternate.

1016
01:24:21,750 --> 01:24:28,050
So, board, at this time do we have any discussions or questions about any of this?

1017
01:24:29,070 --> 01:24:37,670
But be the role with the take place at techsaid.com in the fall of this year.

1018
01:24:42,180 --> 01:24:49,200
John, question. You're ready to make a motion. Okay, board if this is an action

1019
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:54,080
item I'd like to entertain a motion. All right, Madam President, I moved at the

1020
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,800
Board of Trustees named Veronica Yosel as the official voting delegate and

1021
01:24:58,340 --> 01:25:05,520
Becca Keneer as the alternate for the 2026 TASP delegate assembly. Okay, a

1022
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:12,020
motion by John and do we have a second? A second by Amanda. All those in

1023
01:25:12,020 --> 01:25:22,980
All right. Any opposed? Seeing none. Motion carries. Congratulations to Veronica and to Becca.

1024
01:25:24,340 --> 01:25:32,020
For those of you that have not been to Adele get a simply the whole process is changing so our.

1025
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:37,180
The alternate you just have to sit back in a little cordoned off area.

1026
01:25:37,180 --> 01:25:42,900
almost like a pit and kind of watch forward what was going on. Now the

1027
01:25:42,900 --> 01:25:47,060
delegate and the alternate consists side by side. They'll have one

1028
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:51,100
paddle that they can vote with, but it's really in much better

1029
01:25:51,100 --> 01:25:56,520
conversations so you can know what's what's going on. So thank you for

1030
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:01,280
your support on that and both Veronica and Becca you will get a lot of

1031
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:06,140
packet information and a cool little ribbon to wear on your badge when we go

1032
01:26:06,140 --> 01:26:08,940
down to TechSaid.com.

1033
01:26:18,990 --> 01:26:20,890
Sure, I'm not skipping something.

1034
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,220
OK, board next on our agenda is the nomination

1035
01:26:35,220 --> 01:26:43,020
of board trustee to serve on the CASB board

1036
01:26:43,020 --> 01:26:44,220
of directors.

1037
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:48,720
Dr. Bill Parker has expressed interest in this,

1038
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,620
the position currently held by Kevin Carbo

1039
01:26:52,620 --> 01:26:57,560
and Mascit of Mascit ISD is being vacated.

1040
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:05,160
He is not going to seek re-elections, so that means that our region has an open position.

1041
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:12,660
If our board decides tonight to nominate Dr. Parker for this, then other boards in the

1042
01:27:12,660 --> 01:27:16,000
area will also have the opportunity to vote.

1043
01:27:16,620 --> 01:27:24,720
So us nominating someone from our board does not automatically mean that they are on that as

1044
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:33,480
board of directors. So the nomination timeline, we have to make, sorry, is through

1045
01:27:33,480 --> 01:27:38,880
June 23rd, so we're getting close to that, and TASB directors will be elected

1046
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:45,880
during the TASB delegate assembly on October 9th. So Veronica and Beckham would be

1047
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:54,180
part of that delegate assembly. So at this time, do we have board discussion regarding

1048
01:27:54,180 --> 01:27:59,680
Dr. Parker expressing his interest or Dr. Parker, would you like to say anything?

1049
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:03,360
Good evening.

1050
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:04,020
Thank you.

1051
01:28:04,020 --> 01:28:04,740
Thank you, Dr. Montgomery.

1052
01:28:08,620 --> 01:28:13,220
I would just like to tell the board that I think this is a unique opportunity for Alan

1053
01:28:13,220 --> 01:28:15,940
to seek representation on the TASV board.

1054
01:28:16,460 --> 01:28:18,720
I think that we have an open seat that's available.

1055
01:28:19,340 --> 01:28:25,200
And I think that we have the opportunity to gather support for our nominee.

1056
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:28,940
We have a strong presence in Region 10.

1057
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:35,360
At the time that we've spent the last two years through the LTASB process,

1058
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:40,400
getting to know campuses around the state as well as getting to know other

1059
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:45,660
poolboards and trustees from around the state and in Region 10.

1060
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,960
I think that we have, we've established a reputation,

1061
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:53,360
or I've established a reputation with those leaders around the state.

1062
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:59,020
And I think that we have a very good opportunity to potentially fill that seat with an

1063
01:28:59,020 --> 01:29:00,360
Allen ISD trustee.

1064
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:10,060
If I get the nomination from the team tonight, I will not squander and I will not beg

1065
01:29:10,060 --> 01:29:11,040
it for granted very much.

1066
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:16,520
I'll take it very seriously and do everything I can do to represent not only Allen, but

1067
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,440
Regent 10, well, at the state level on the boarded rate.

1068
01:29:25,270 --> 01:29:27,390
Any questions or comments?

1069
01:29:28,510 --> 01:29:29,290
So kind of two questions.

1070
01:29:29,510 --> 01:29:30,470
One for each of you.

1071
01:29:30,650 --> 01:29:31,110
And so whichever.

1072
01:29:31,750 --> 01:29:31,990
First.

1073
01:29:32,670 --> 01:29:33,850
Well, maybe both for Bill.

1074
01:29:34,370 --> 01:29:38,410
But tell me what benefited is to Allen ISD specifically.

1075
01:29:38,530 --> 01:29:41,090
And what it brings to our district and to our board.

1076
01:29:41,250 --> 01:29:43,330
For you to be on that.

1077
01:29:43,430 --> 01:29:45,850
Like you mentioned, you did just recently do,

1078
01:29:45,850 --> 01:29:46,370
El Tazby.

1079
01:29:47,930 --> 01:29:50,270
And what, you know, what that, how that would be.

1080
01:29:50,270 --> 01:29:52,050
More benefit for us first of all.

1081
01:29:52,110 --> 01:29:54,650
And then what costs this would be to the district.

1082
01:29:54,650 --> 01:29:55,750
I

1083
01:29:58,050 --> 01:29:59,970
think, I think largely V.

1084
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,560
Regional level. The role of the TASB Boarded Directors is to provide leadership and guidance and governance.

1085
01:30:07,220 --> 01:30:13,900
Two TASB as a body. And so it provides us a vote. We currently don't have a vote.

1086
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:28,260
So it gives us the opportunity to provide that oversight and that sort of ability to make sure that TASB is being governed in a way that we approve of

1087
01:30:28,260 --> 01:30:32,500
that benefits all districts not just to Allen, but more than anything, you know, it just

1088
01:30:32,500 --> 01:30:42,140
it really gives us a seat at the table and the ability to influence policy and to make sure

1089
01:30:42,140 --> 01:30:47,680
that the right decisions are being made, those being done with us may be rather than to us

1090
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:53,260
to put it in a certain way. As far as costs, there would be some travel costs back and forth

1091
01:30:53,260 --> 01:30:57,400
to meetings. I know some of that cost, it has to be does pay for some of the travel

1092
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:04,520
hotel rooms, but there would be no no additional cost of be on some travel and in

1093
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,940
those cases most of the times I do take a district vehicle. I don't fly. I'll take

1094
01:31:08,940 --> 01:31:12,680
one of the district vehicles and try to keep our costs as low as possible.

1095
01:31:15,090 --> 01:31:24,630
Let me add on to the cost factor during the official meetings of the Board of Directors

1096
01:31:24,630 --> 01:31:29,770
has to be reimburses the district for all of them.

1097
01:31:29,830 --> 01:31:35,730
I don't remember how many meetings there are four or five or maybe six.

1098
01:31:36,790 --> 01:31:42,810
The only travel and hotel if possible would be for the initial interview.

1099
01:31:43,770 --> 01:31:48,790
And after that, if he's actually on the board of directors then that's all reimburs.

1100
01:31:51,160 --> 01:32:04,840
Do we know how many of a file or a file or a file or however that would get nominated by does every can every board nominate their very own we've never had someone in Allen have any interests in doing this or not.

1101
01:32:05,140 --> 01:32:19,120
Right. Every every board in region 10 can nominate someone for Mr. Carbo's position. It's an open position. We usually see I want to say.

1102
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:26,300
Maybe in August where we vote, they send in the letters, and in the past we've had people

1103
01:32:26,300 --> 01:32:34,200
from area districts, I believe, was our friend in Garland that serves right now, we voted

1104
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:41,560
on him last year, so I was thinking the same thing Sarah, I don't think we've ever had an

1105
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,760
Allen trustee that has served on the Board of Directors.

1106
01:32:46,740 --> 01:32:49,980
I have a question. How long has the term just carried?

1107
01:32:52,460 --> 01:32:53,620
It's a three-year term.

1108
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:54,560
Three years.

1109
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:04,300
There are questions.

1110
01:33:12,110 --> 01:33:15,550
Can't board this as an action item. I'd like to entertain a motion.

1111
01:33:32,330 --> 01:33:48,030
So, if no motion is made, I'm taking that as there is no support by the sport to nominate Dr. Bill Parker to serve on the Regent in position D.C. on the test people.

1112
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,160
So, no vote, no motion on that.

1113
01:34:08,790 --> 01:34:16,010
Hey, board next on the agenda is our board officers, committee members and liaisons.

1114
01:34:17,350 --> 01:34:25,090
And I will take a full blame or whatever this needs to come back on May 26th at the regular

1115
01:34:25,090 --> 01:34:32,210
meeting, nominations and committee appointments were made, board president, Dr. Montgomery,

1116
01:34:32,210 --> 01:34:36,250
Open the floor for nominations for the Office of Board President,

1117
01:34:36,630 --> 01:34:40,670
Beckett Keneer nominated Polling Montgomery for the Office of Board President,

1118
01:34:41,330 --> 01:34:43,710
No additional nominations were made.

1119
01:34:44,230 --> 01:34:49,190
All of Montgomery will remain the board president for the 2627 school year.

1120
01:34:49,930 --> 01:34:54,390
Dr. Montgomery opened the floor for nominations for the Office of Vice President,

1121
01:34:54,650 --> 01:34:59,130
Amanda Campbell nominated Dr. Bill Parker for the Office of Vice President.

1122
01:34:59,130 --> 01:35:08,030
No additional nominations were made, Dr. Bill Parker will remain the board vice-president for the 2627 school year.

1123
01:35:08,810 --> 01:35:17,350
Dr. Montgomery opened the floor for nominations for the Office of Secretary, Veronica Yosest Dominated, John Holly for the Office of Secretary.

1124
01:35:18,130 --> 01:35:25,750
No additional nominations were made, John Holly will remain the board secretary for the 2627 school year.

1125
01:35:25,750 --> 01:35:32,530
The error that was made is that I did not call for a vote for any of those, with nominations

1126
01:35:32,530 --> 01:35:34,670
and then we closed out the meeting.

1127
01:35:35,550 --> 01:35:40,410
Though tonight we're going to do that, I'm also going to read through the committee appointments

1128
01:35:40,410 --> 01:35:42,990
because that was part of the agenda item.

1129
01:35:43,670 --> 01:35:49,550
So, the advocacy committee, three members, Dr. Bill Parker, chair of Veronica Yost and

1130
01:35:49,550 --> 01:35:56,110
Second year or the other two members, AISD leadership academy, second year of the two year

1131
01:35:56,110 --> 01:36:02,850
placement, John Holly and Veronica Yust. Board academy will be board officers and all board

1132
01:36:02,850 --> 01:36:09,430
members will participate. Communications Council will be Polly Montgomery and Amanda Campbell

1133
01:36:09,430 --> 01:36:17,230
is the alternate. The IPC will be Bill Parker, Foundation for Ellen Schools, a two year placement

1134
01:36:17,230 --> 01:36:21,230
John Holling, TTA President Council meetings,

1135
01:36:21,690 --> 01:36:27,030
Paulie Montgomery, and Becca Keneer is the alternate safety and security committee,

1136
01:36:27,270 --> 01:36:29,650
Paulie Montgomery, and Amanda Campbell,

1137
01:36:30,630 --> 01:36:32,690
Jack Keneer, Sarah Mitchell,

1138
01:36:33,530 --> 01:36:38,290
as be delegate for TASA TASB Convention, Veronica Yost,

1139
01:36:38,950 --> 01:36:44,090
and tonight we also voted on Becca Keneer as the alternate.

1140
01:36:44,090 --> 01:36:50,190
We will not have mentors this year as there are no new school board members.

1141
01:36:51,530 --> 01:36:57,870
So board, this is an action item approving the agenda back from the 26th of the nomination

1142
01:36:57,870 --> 01:36:59,490
of board officers.

1143
01:37:00,170 --> 01:37:02,090
I'd like to entertain a motion.

1144
01:37:04,260 --> 01:37:08,560
Madam President, I move the board approve the slate of officers nominated at the board meeting

1145
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:10,400
on May 26th, 2021.

1146
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:16,540
Dr. Paulie Montgomery's president, Dr. Bill Parker is vice president and John Holly is secretary.

1147
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,460
We have a motion by Becca. Do we have a second?

1148
01:37:21,060 --> 01:37:21,420
How's second?

1149
01:37:22,140 --> 01:37:23,360
Second by Veronica.

1150
01:37:25,580 --> 01:37:27,400
Any questions or comments?

1151
01:37:29,930 --> 01:37:30,990
All those in favor?

1152
01:37:33,430 --> 01:37:34,250
Any opposed?

1153
01:37:36,190 --> 01:37:37,030
Seeing none.

1154
01:37:37,470 --> 01:37:38,170
Motion carries.

1155
01:37:46,290 --> 01:37:49,210
Next on our agenda we have monthly financial reports.

1156
01:37:49,210 --> 01:37:58,570
reports that we have gone through multiple times tonight. Thank you, Dr. Pan. There's

1157
01:37:58,570 --> 01:38:01,990
any questions on those, but those are there for your review.

1158
01:38:04,890 --> 01:38:13,710
At their board business, advocacy committee update, Sarah did a great job last time of

1159
01:38:13,710 --> 01:38:19,630
summarizing the June 1st House Public Education Committee and several lots of summarizing

1160
01:38:19,630 --> 01:38:26,610
Thank you, Sarah. For that bill, any committee updates for the new committee.

1161
01:38:28,350 --> 01:38:32,530
The only thing I'm going to, excuse me, the only thing I'm going to mention is that last week

1162
01:38:32,530 --> 01:38:36,970
in San Antonio, we had our second like committee meeting.

1163
01:38:37,330 --> 01:38:40,310
Like is the legislative advisory council.

1164
01:38:41,190 --> 01:38:45,790
Where we worked on showing up our legislative agenda for the upcoming year,

1165
01:38:45,790 --> 01:38:50,430
It will be further refined and voted on it, delegate assembly in the fall.

1166
01:38:51,030 --> 01:38:55,310
Really there are eight areas that lack is concentrating on for this year.

1167
01:38:55,850 --> 01:39:02,690
One being school safety and security, primarily financial, special education again, looking

1168
01:39:02,690 --> 01:39:09,610
mostly at reimbursement and evaluation allotments, focusing on educator recruitment and

1169
01:39:09,610 --> 01:39:10,070
retention.

1170
01:39:10,870 --> 01:39:15,770
One of the things there is an emphasis on reciprocity from state to state, so if we have

1171
01:39:15,770 --> 01:39:21,710
someone move into the area who's certified it in another state, we can more easily hire.

1172
01:39:21,910 --> 01:39:32,230
Of course, restoration of local control, accountability reform, regulatory streamlining, equity

1173
01:39:32,230 --> 01:39:37,410
across school types, specifically talking about apples to apples comparisons financially

1174
01:39:37,410 --> 01:39:42,930
and state mandated requirements between public schools, private schools who receive vouchers,

1175
01:39:42,930 --> 01:39:48,990
and home schoolers who receive vouchers and then investing in core programs, I'm making sure

1176
01:39:48,990 --> 01:39:54,150
that we sustain funding for pre-K, student support professionals, workforce development, and enrollment

1177
01:39:54,150 --> 01:40:00,470
based funding reform. So those are really the eight areas that lack is focusing on for the legislative

1178
01:40:00,470 --> 01:40:08,290
agenda. And as I said, Veronica, you and Becky will have an opportunity at Delegate Assembly to then vote

1179
01:40:08,290 --> 01:40:10,390
on the final versions of those.

1180
01:40:12,220 --> 01:40:12,820
Thank you, Bill.

1181
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:17,980
I will also add that the State Board of Education

1182
01:40:17,980 --> 01:40:23,600
is meeting over the next week or so.

1183
01:40:23,900 --> 01:40:28,360
Look at Chapter 61, which is school board training.

1184
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:33,340
There is some additional training on parental rights

1185
01:40:33,340 --> 01:40:37,660
that will be expected for school boards to comply to.

1186
01:40:37,660 --> 01:40:39,800
they just don't have the curriculum yet.

1187
01:40:40,340 --> 01:40:42,900
But the deadline is pretty tight.

1188
01:40:43,860 --> 01:40:47,120
I will let you know that I submitted testimony

1189
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:52,780
to State Board of Education today regarding our governance

1190
01:40:52,780 --> 01:40:56,860
role as trustees versus all of the hours

1191
01:40:56,860 --> 01:40:59,600
that are not governance related.

1192
01:41:00,660 --> 01:41:03,540
So I have no opposition to the training

1193
01:41:03,540 --> 01:41:06,220
that we're receiving, but it needs to align

1194
01:41:06,220 --> 01:41:14,240
with what our job is. So we'll see if there's any traction with that. It was also sent to

1195
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:22,820
our elected officials and so maybe we can get some change going on that. Maybe not. It felt

1196
01:41:22,820 --> 01:41:29,600
good just to write it out and say here are some things that are on our mind, trustees and training.

1197
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:37,820
we this board always exceeds our training requirements. We like the training. We support what the state

1198
01:41:37,820 --> 01:41:43,260
asks us to do, but just make it a line with our job, not something else.

1199
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:48,320
So with that,

1200
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:56,720
as the Cassie, Superintendent's update. All right. Well, it is hard to believe we are three weeks into

1201
01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:01,620
And as I look around the room, I see a group that has not really started their summer yet.

1202
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:07,720
Carries been representing Allen all across the state and doing great things for our district so we appreciate that.

1203
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:12,640
We just finished our professional learning for our principals. We had a great day of training.

1204
01:42:13,460 --> 01:42:24,220
When I say we, I really mean Larry and Melissa and Whitney that planned all of that and plan some exciting things for our principals to get them back to collaborate and get ready for next year.

1205
01:42:24,220 --> 01:42:26,740
We've been busy planning leadership retreat.

1206
01:42:26,940 --> 01:42:32,000
We'll welcome back our administrators on the 29th or the 15th, I believe, July 15th.

1207
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:38,620
They'll come back and we'll have three days of professional learning for our department heads

1208
01:42:38,620 --> 01:42:40,940
and for all of our principles and campus administrators.

1209
01:42:42,620 --> 01:42:48,220
You know, I look at these people here that definitely are a huge support to our district.

1210
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:53,380
Kyle, obviously with the budget, David's got convocation going, John is in the middle of all the hiring

1211
01:42:53,380 --> 01:42:58,160
that happens. Brent, obviously, with so much construction going on, he said, despite the rain,

1212
01:42:58,740 --> 01:43:03,680
they are ahead of schedule on some of their projects. So that's good to know. Some,

1213
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:09,480
he says, some projects were ahead of schedule on. And a gym team, obviously, getting ready for

1214
01:43:09,480 --> 01:43:14,360
new teachers. I've seen counselors up here. I've seen nurses coming through the door. I saw the

1215
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:20,020
choir director today coming through to help write some curriculum. So teachers may be off, but

1216
01:43:20,020 --> 01:43:23,940
they are still busy planning and trying to get ready for next year.

1217
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:26,440
Several of our campuses have summer camps.

1218
01:43:27,180 --> 01:43:29,800
We've got summer school going on, kids club going on.

1219
01:43:30,500 --> 01:43:32,720
So still a lot happening, even though it's summer.

1220
01:43:33,460 --> 01:43:34,600
I know we are looking forward.

1221
01:43:34,780 --> 01:43:36,760
We have just this week and next week

1222
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:42,300
before we have our mandatory shutdown week of June 29th through July 3rd.

1223
01:43:42,460 --> 01:43:46,280
And then we will all take a much-needed break for the week.

1224
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:48,860
It's always nice when everybody's off because everybody's off.

1225
01:43:48,860 --> 01:43:50,620
and nobody's bothering anybody.

1226
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:52,680
We truly get a full week of rest.

1227
01:43:53,460 --> 01:43:54,740
So we're looking forward to that

1228
01:43:54,740 --> 01:43:58,900
and just hope our families all have a great 4th of July

1229
01:43:58,900 --> 01:44:01,740
and we'll come back ready to do some more work.

1230
01:44:04,070 --> 01:44:04,290
Awesome.

1231
01:44:04,630 --> 01:44:09,290
Thank you for your first seated position up here with us.

1232
01:44:09,390 --> 01:44:10,770
Look at, he's already taken over my son.

1233
01:44:10,770 --> 01:44:13,030
I know, he's already coming up even moves.

1234
01:44:13,430 --> 01:44:14,530
You've been bumped.

1235
01:44:14,850 --> 01:44:15,270
I know.

1236
01:44:15,630 --> 01:44:15,890
Great.

1237
01:44:16,730 --> 01:44:17,270
Great.

1238
01:44:20,150 --> 01:44:26,850
calendar updates it's amazingly short and it's usually a full page and I have three things

1239
01:44:26,850 --> 01:44:35,430
and Tim's already told us one the A.I.S.D. closure mandatory closure June 29th through July 3rd.

1240
01:44:36,090 --> 01:44:43,450
Board we have a board retreat at 5 o'clock on July 20th and regular board meeting here in this

1241
01:44:43,450 --> 01:44:46,490
building 630 on July 27.

1242
01:44:52,290 --> 01:44:55,430
end and the high school we're at this end and we're across the street.

1243
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:27,240
Short, short stack there. This evening, we will go into closed session per Texas government code, 551.071 and 551.074, consultation and deliberation regarding clarifying amendment to voluntary retirement agreement, if we're intended, a meritist.

1244
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:40,480
Board convenes from closed session at 847, Board, do we have a motion?

1245
01:45:41,860 --> 01:45:46,880
Madam President, I move to approve the amendment to the voluntary retirement agreement as presented.

1246
01:45:47,780 --> 01:45:50,080
We have a motion from Amanda.

1247
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:51,460
Do we have a second?

1248
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:52,880
Second?
