00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:33,800

00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:41,760
Father, as we gather here this evening, we thank you for the gift of this new school year.

6
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:50,460
A new school year brings with it the excitement of fresh beginnings and the optimism for exciting experiences for all of our students and staff.

7
00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:54,940
Father, we are grateful for this great first day that we experienced.

8
00:00:55,580 --> 00:01:03,800
CCSD has so much to be thankful for as we open new school buildings this year and celebrated awesome growth for our students and staff.

9
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Our teachers and administrators have worked hard for today.

10
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:11,860
Father, we ask that you guide our dedicated board members this evening to at least their

11
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:15,620
powers of wisdom, compassion, and vision for our schools.

12
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:21,260
They are role models and their expertise in their communities are an integral part of our

13
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:21,780
work.

14
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:27,120
May they govern so that every decision made will uplift our students and strengthen our community

15
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:28,600
in your name or pray.

16
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,820
Now for the pledges,

17
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,700
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and

18
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:45,720
to the Republic for which stands one nation under God and divisible with liberty and justice

19
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,900
for all.

20
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:56,000
Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to the Texas, one state, under God, one and

21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,900
indivisible.

22
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:10,390
Thank you, Dr. Absmendi. Before we get going, I'm going to remind people of our no cell phone policy that we are modeling for the students.

23
00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:21,090
Would hate to have to call your parents if I see a cell phone and don't want to confiscate and find you. So please keep that in mind as we move forward.

24
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:27,730
Ms Hawkins, can you give us or can you read our mission statement, please?

25
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:28,550
Our

26
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,300
mission developed the hearts and minds of all students, preparing them to be lifelong learners

27
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:43,500
who continue their education, enter the world of work, and become productive citizens.

28
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:46,420
Ms. Charlie, can you read us our vision please?

29
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:56,980
Our vision is to be a world-class school system where every student is a learner, every learner is a graduate, and every graduate is a success.

30
00:02:58,180 --> 00:02:59,300
Thank you.

31
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:07,000
As we continue with our meeting, let us keep that in mind as we make our business decisions

32
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,760
for the district.

33
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,620
At this time, we are going to move to item number 6, which is audience participation in

34
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,300
reading of non-agenda items.

35
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,640
As we begin the audience participation public comment portion of our meeting, we remind those

36
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,100
who have submitted registration cards of the following board policy requirements.

37
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,200
questions and comments must be addressed to the board, not to individual persons, but a minute

38
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,440

39
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,320

40
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,340

41
00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:50,720

42
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,020
shall be prohibited before the board. The board shall not tolerate disruption of the meeting

43
00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:57,240
by members of the audience.

44
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,040
If at least after one warning from the presiding officer,

45
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,580
any individual continues to disrupt the meeting

46
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:04,120
by his or her words or actions,

47
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:06,320
presiding officer may request assistance

48
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,520
from law enforcement officials

49
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,500
to have the individual removed from the meeting.

50
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Lastly, those having public comment

51
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080
should not approach the restroom or members

52
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,140
of the board during the meeting.

53
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,920
Any materials for the board should be given

54
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,760
to the board's administrative assistant.

55
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:21,980
Okay, we have one person signed up

56
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:24,120
and we've got Ms. Susie Seldanya.

57
00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:36,440
Susie Lernes al-Danya, first of all, I want to thank you all because of your

58
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,040
convocation.

59
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:44,520
It was a fantastic group that met there, and I heard nothing but positive from the teachers

60
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,360
and staff.

61
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,340
So congratulations on that.

62
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,580
But I'm also going to remind you that I'm not going to let you forget that every year

63
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:55,120
I'm going to come up here and say where the contracts.

64
00:04:56,380 --> 00:05:04,840
Our asking is that you take a look at the issue of issuing a beginning contract at least two years for teachers.

65
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:09,660
That's our asking. Now I've got to cost you one more penny.

66
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:16,820
So now I've got to cost you any headaches because I can believe you can take care of your business with the principles that you have.

67
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:20,960
I ask you to please, please, look into that.

68
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Also, I want to remind you of one other issue

69
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,880
before I sit down.

70
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:29,260
And JROTC are your officers

71
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:32,300
that do not get a pace race

72
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:34,820
and I know all about them being split into

73
00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:36,680
and I know all about them doing

74
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,540
but I get some research and under the state

75
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:41,560
they are classified as teachers.

76
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,220
So I'd like you to take a look at that.

77
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,000
Thank you very much for your time

78
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,260
and have a wonderful school year.

79
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,260
Thank you, Ms. Al-Danya.

80
00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:53,720
OK, I have nobody else signed up for public comment.

81
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:57,580
So at this point, we'll move on to item number seven,

82
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,980
close session.

83
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:02,580
The Board of Trustees will now enter into close session

84
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:06,240
at 506 p.m.

85
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:09,620
President to Texas government code sections 551.01

86
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:13,020
and 551.074.

87
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:17,240
And let the record reflect that Mr. Clark is in attendance.

88
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:04,740
The board has now returned from close session at 524 pm, and there is no action.

89
00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:08,560
And so we'll move on to the next item of business.

90
00:10:08,940 --> 00:10:10,780
Item number eight administrative reports.

91
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,140
We've got CCSD professional development plan by Ms. Cindy Perez.

92
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:30,960
in President Villadell, Dr. Nondis, and esteem members of the board.

93
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,840
I'm Cindy Perez, Director for Professional Learning.

94
00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:39,720
I appreciate the opportunity to present information regarding CCISD's full

95
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,260
alignment to all three sections of Senate Bill 1267 as it relates to the professional

96
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:47,460
development offered in our district.

97
00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:55,380
Before I begin, I would like to introduce my staff who are pictured here.

98
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:58,780
From left to right, we have Ms. Valerie Gardinus,

99
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:00,920
Program Analyst for Title II.

100
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,980
Eva Onhodine, Senior Administrative Assistant to the Director,

101
00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:08,860
Diana Hibada, Coordinator for Recruitment and Retention,

102
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:13,260
and Hi-Rosistada, Texas Reading Academy cohort leader.

103
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,820
The Office of Professional Learning

104
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:20,800
collaboratively crafted a mission and vision statement.

105
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,260
These guiding principles shape our daily work

106
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:32,980
ensuring a cohesive alignment of all decisions and actions with our mission and vision ultimately contributing to student success.

107
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:44,160
As articulated in our vision statement, we are committed to designing professional development experiences that are relevant, engaging, authentic and long lasting.

108
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,600
What's the support and collaboration of the curriculum and instruction team and assistance

109
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
superintendent for school leadership?

110
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:58,760
Our professional development offers learners the opportunity to close the achievement gap

111
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,120
in build capacity for lifelong learning through authentic and engaging professional learning

112
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,060
experiences.

113
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:24,400
That bill 1267 amends the education code to require the state board for educator, certification to publish a clearing house of information regarding continuing education and training requirements for educators and other school personnel.

114
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:35,780
The bill requires a public school district or open enrollment charter school to adopt a professional development policy based on an annual review of the clearing house.

115
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:38,660
before August 31, 2022.

116
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:43,440
The bill revises, updates, and consolidates various

117
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,400
educator training provisions, including continuing education

118
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320
and staff development requirements.

119
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:52,680
Related record keeping and report requirements

120
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:57,700
and provisions related to recommended areas of educator training.

121
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,360
There are no reporting requirements for school districts

122
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,440
or open enrollment charter schools

123
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,140
of the adopted professional development policy.

124
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:10,400
Or the noting of any differences from the recommendations in the

125
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,280
clearinghouse.

126
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:14,520
All documentation is to remain at the local level.

127
00:13:17,060 --> 00:13:20,400
The clearinghouse list is the first requirement of Senate

128
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:26,460
Bill 1267, and identify seven topics as best practices and industry

129
00:13:26,460 --> 00:13:30,560
recommendations regarding specific trainings at school districts

130
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:34,100
provide for educators and other school personnel.

131
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,680
All of the seven recommended topics are included in the CCISD Professional Learning Plan.

132
00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:46,760
These topics are provided at events such as new teacher orientation,

133
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:50,680
making connections, tech to teach,

134
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:56,940
our half-day PD days, campus and district PLCs and faculty meetings.

135
00:13:56,940 --> 00:14:09,360
The second requirement of Senate Bill 1267 is that districts are required to know any differences in the professional development policy from the clearinghouse recommendations.

136
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,220
Very happy to report that CCI's D is again fully compliant with clearinghouse recommendations.

137
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:29,440
CCIC uses a variety of online and in-person professional learning experiences to ensure that all employees receive the required training for their role in the district.

138
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:38,820
Our district is also building capacity with the help and guidance of our hardworking teaching and learning team who provide training and support.

139
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:42,640
To our instructional leaders and instructional coaches,

140
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,700
they are able to provide job embedded coaching and support on campus

141
00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:53,000
to teachers and staff to increase student engagement and success.

142
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:59,240
The professional learning office uses its weekly magazine to house presentation links.

143
00:15:00,660 --> 00:15:15,440
All the presentations provided by the district. When available, videos are available as well. This is a great resource for teachers who want to reference materials from sessions they attended or may want to attend in the future.

144
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:28,790
All component Senate Bill 1267 is to include a schedule of all training required for educators or other school personnel.

145
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:42,410
In an effort to over-communicate with CCIC employees, the Office of Professional Learning publishes schedules in a variety of formats and locations as noted in the slide above.

146
00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:51,000
Our goal is to provide the necessary support for professional growth and development in all our employees so that together,

147
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:55,700
we can ensure that our students in CCIC are successful today.

148
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,920
Tomorrow and in their future.

149
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:12,350
Phase D professional development centers around the needs of our educators based on feedback provided in surveys as well as current instructional data.

150
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:20,130
Our district advisory team also works very hard to collect and analyze data to determine

151
00:16:20,130 --> 00:16:22,070
and adopt the professional learning plan.

152
00:16:22,630 --> 00:16:25,510
This is a required action of the district advisory team.

153
00:16:26,190 --> 00:16:30,670
These areas, the IS committee to providing employees with the necessary training to help

154
00:16:30,670 --> 00:16:36,170
meet certification requirements, meet professional growth goals, and most importantly,

155
00:16:36,570 --> 00:16:41,070
provide strategies and best practices to meet the needs of the whole child.

156
00:16:41,070 --> 00:16:45,190
academic, health, safety, and well-being.

157
00:16:45,950 --> 00:16:48,550
As a district working to build our leadership pipeline,

158
00:16:48,930 --> 00:16:52,530
we offer opportunities to develop skills for

159
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:54,590
teacher and administrator leadership.

160
00:16:56,170 --> 00:16:58,330
These ICC provides itself on the tiered support

161
00:16:58,330 --> 00:17:01,170
that provides staff at all professional learning opportunities

162
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:04,990
ensuring that all teachers, regardless of experience,

163
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:07,610
receive differentiated professional development

164
00:17:07,610 --> 00:17:10,770
to help meet the individual learning needs of our teachers.

165
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:17,970
We also ensure that teachers who educate diverse student populations, such as special education and

166
00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:23,610
emergent bilingual students, receive a support they need to grow and foster student outcomes.

167
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:29,850
Lastly, it is important to note that teachers who do not have a lifetime certification

168
00:17:29,850 --> 00:17:37,850
and are required to complete 150 hours of continuing education every five years.

169
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:44,410
Librarians, counselors, and administrators are required to complete 200 every five years.

170
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,780
The professional learning motto is to always keep learning.

171
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:56,140
To do this, we must evolve, engage, and inspire others to want to keep learning.

172
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,100
CCIC is very excited about some of the new things happening around our district

173
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:13,560
to help build content, pedagogy, and leadership in our teachers, instructional leadership in our administrators and an increased overall positive culture and climate for all.

174
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:22,100
Beginning with the integration of making connections and tech to teach on August 6th, which provided participants to time to learn,

175
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:32,300
Collaborate and engage in the learning when hands-on applications to the inaugural onboarding for new principles and assistant principles that took place in July

176
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:39,020
The district is working very hard to meet the needs of our employees with opportunities for learning

177
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:46,340
We can all agree that the integration of technology and our customers is necessary to help prepare our students for a successful future

178
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:54,060
As a district, we opted to combine the district-wide PD days in August with tech to teach

179
00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:59,860
so that all of our teachers and para professionals had an opportunity to learn the tools

180
00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:02,260
and value of technology integration.

181
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,900
Every session that was provided to teachers incorporated one or more technology tools or

182
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:15,960
platforms that are currently used by students and included and are included in our instructional

183
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,860
guides. Content and use of technology are not separate things. We use technology to enhance

184
00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:27,920
lessons and engage students. Technology helps us to work more efficiently and effectively

185
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:34,820
with academic monitoring and support. It's not another thing. We did have industry experts

186
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:37,580
who offered sessions on how to use technology tools,

187
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,740
like Google after education, we had Canvas,

188
00:19:41,620 --> 00:19:44,860
Canvas, Lumio, light speed, just to name a few.

189
00:19:45,540 --> 00:19:48,220
Our district had the pleasure of hosting some regional,

190
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,060
state, and nationwide professor of development this summer.

191
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:55,660
The first was a three-day lead forward mentor trainer,

192
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:59,380
a trainer, straining, semouthful, with people

193
00:19:59,380 --> 00:20:02,700
from all over Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

194
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:10,400
Not only did this opportunity put our district on the map, it allowed us to send a team of teachers at a discounted rate.

195
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:19,600
These EISD also hosted the average regional pathway to day conference, with almost 200 participants from different districts in Texas.

196
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:32,260
This was a great cost savings opportunity for our district to send teachers, since travel, hotel, and meal costs, typically associated with average training were eliminated as we were the host district.

197
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:41,060
We also hosted a two-day inclusion academy for our special education teachers and paraprofessionals at our Instructional Resource Center.

198
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:49,740
Lastly, CCISD used Title II funds to send teachers and leaders to several conferences this summer.

199
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:58,420
The purpose of Title II part A funding is to increase student achievement consistent with the challenging state academic standards.

200
00:20:58,420 --> 00:21:13,360
To improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders, and increase the number of effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders, who are effective in improving student academic achievement in schools.

201
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:25,860
The intent of the funding is to support educators in their work and to improve the overall quality of instruction and ensure equity of educational opportunity for all students.

202
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,780
Some of the conferences that our teachers and leaders attended, or TASA, texts at FAST,

203
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:39,500
ASCD in ISD, which is the Association for Supervision and Curriculum development, and

204
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,360
International Society for Technology and Education.

205
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:48,220
We had teachers go to Learning Forward for Accounts, which is the Conference for the Advancement

206
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:54,560
of Mathematics, me by the C, get your teaching, and some ASL conferences around the state

207
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,060
of Texas.

208
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
These supported teachers and leaders are essential to ensuring student academic success.

209
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:09,920
We provide comprehensive teacher support systems, including instructional coaches, professional learning communities,

210
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,160
leadership development, mentor programs, and ongoing professional development.

211
00:22:15,820 --> 00:22:21,860
These elements are all vital for enhancing educator effectiveness and growth and foster

212
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:25,640
a culture of continuous improvement and teaching excellence.

213
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:32,180
Thank you very much for your continued support of our teachers, leaders, staff, and students.

214
00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:34,360
This concludes my presentation.

215
00:22:35,820 --> 00:22:36,720
Thank you, Ms. Petus.

216
00:22:38,060 --> 00:22:38,620
The

217
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:47,040
moderator is not working, so I don't see any lights on for any comments or questions.

218
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:48,420
Okay.

219
00:22:49,220 --> 00:22:51,740
Just had no idea you did all this.

220
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,720
Just now, thank you to you and your team for always being purposeful and intentional with

221
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,600
everything that you do.

222
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:09,520
Convocation was not that out the park, like always making connections and the new teacher

223
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,760
orientation heard lots of great feedback from all that, so thank you for always supporting

224
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,200
our teachers and our staff and our students.

225
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,380
Go, Hugs.

226
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:24,780
Okay? Anybody else? Okay, here off the hook today.

227
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:26,540
All right. Thank you, Ms. Peters. Thank you.

228
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,700
So the great information to keep up the good work.

229
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,560
Okay. Moving on to item number nine, which is the consent agenda.

230
00:23:34,340 --> 00:23:36,000
I have not seen anything or any questions.

231
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:39,200
I just have a quick question on if you don't mind.

232
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:42,380
On the purchase of our vehicles, the district wide.

233
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:46,720
I want to be sure that it's that's a need.

234
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,460
I mean we really if we really really need because I know that we're pretty

235
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:55,240
tight budget constraint that maybe give another year out of them but and I'm

236
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:03,720
assuming that that is a need versus a one on that. Correct. Yeah that's a good

237
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:07,540
good question we knew that question would come out we had that conversation

238
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:13,700
then are meeting with the staff and the team. There is a process they go through

239
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:21,800
And these are vehicles that have been deemed either, I don't want to say this is time to put

240
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,440
up to the art. And then if we were to hang on to them, it's just going to end up crossing

241
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,540
this more to do any maintenance.

242
00:24:28,540 --> 00:24:28,920
Thank you.

243
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,040
But you are replenishing the old with the new, and they're going to be there for a good

244
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,860
several years.

245
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,440
Yeah.

246
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,200
I get it four towers of the engine. Let's go.

247
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,140
Good question though.

248
00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:45,500
So is that something like a motion for approval for me?

249
00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:47,980
I have a question.

250
00:24:48,140 --> 00:24:48,400
OK.

251
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:56,680
Well, I guess this is to Karen.

252
00:24:57,820 --> 00:25:09,760
I was just wondering, how many vehicles do we have in our fleet that are going to be coming up perhaps in the next two years if you can answer that?

253
00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:12,680
In the next two years, I don't know.

254
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,820
I don't have that information.

255
00:25:13,820 --> 00:25:16,920
and I just have what he turns into me every spring.

256
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,740
Kyle Pelishay goes through and tells us which ones

257
00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:21,980
are no longer salvageable.

258
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:25,820
The average is about 13 to 15 years for all the vehicles

259
00:25:25,820 --> 00:25:27,120
that we're putting in.

260
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,720
These are just the, like our maintenance trucks advance.

261
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:34,940
We are bringing, you'll see a second one coming,

262
00:25:34,940 --> 00:25:37,980
which will be all the buses that we'll be coming next.

263
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:39,840
We're still waiting on the quotes for the buses.

264
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:47,160
So, but these are vehicles that have stretched their life and it's costing us more to keep them.

265
00:25:47,260 --> 00:25:49,360
Operational that would be just to replace them.

266
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,840
So, if you say that perhaps the buses are coming?

267
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:59,600
How far down the road will we be seeing a request to replace the truck?

268
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,840
How we're going out for quotes.

269
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,140
Now, it was approved in the budget.

270
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,000
So, as soon as they were approved, we have started that process to try and get the best value for the district.

271
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,200
So, do you have any idea how many we may be asked to approve?

272
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Well, we have a dollar amount.

273
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,360
I've just had it up and I closed it when it

274
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,600
looks like there are six.

275
00:26:35,090 --> 00:26:41,930
Three special needs, three regular and two activity lists.

276
00:26:42,890 --> 00:26:49,690
Okay, on those, on those special needs, those are the, what the, what the, what the, what

277
00:26:49,690 --> 00:26:56,630
Gates calls smart, the short best, is that the one, okay. And, and so, those buses tend to

278
00:26:56,630 --> 00:27:02,610
last longer than the regular ones for the big, the big buses in all of that.

279
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,080
I, I know

280
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:13,000
these are kind of specialized questions, but I know that they can't, I guess so, or mind

281
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,440
everybody that the agenda item is specifically for the white fleet and so I don't want to

282
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:30,380
get too off topic with buses and I'll I guess I'll let legal get their input on whether we can

283
00:27:30,380 --> 00:27:37,080
discuss this or not right now. Get the mic to hear. Yeah if you could relate the questions to

284
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,980
specific contract here, it's important that it ties to these purchases.

285
00:27:48,590 --> 00:27:49,830
They pass a button.

286
00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:53,290
Mr. Rolling.

287
00:27:55,820 --> 00:27:56,120
Yes.

288
00:27:56,500 --> 00:28:03,120
I was asked a question and wondering about the vendors that we're using for the vehicles.

289
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:13,060
And how we settled on the vendors and or I'm vendor and was there any other

290
00:28:13,060 --> 00:28:15,940
it's that we're obtained for these vehicles.

291
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,980
I'm normally we do.

292
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,060
We'll go out to the listing that we have,

293
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,720
and we'll send it out to the vendors that we have on the list

294
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,000
and ask them for the pricing.

295
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,360
Some of them can't get them for a while,

296
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,060
and so that goes into the factor

297
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,040
when we put those together.

298
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,020
I'm trying to find the page on that.

299
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,220
Right, so that we did,

300
00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:42,520
that mean that this is the only one responded

301
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,240
or had to be equals available

302
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,660
the time frame needed.

303
00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:55,120
I'm sorry. Hold on, I don't know if we heard it.

304
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:56,840
Yeah,

305
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:04,040
we've been using this local vendor for the last four or five years.

306
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,460
And they seem to be the only ones that could provide the vehicles in the

307
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:10,380
allotted time. Most of the other vendors that we've been getting quotes from,

308
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:13,280
it's taken over a year and a half to get vehicles in here.

309
00:29:17,070 --> 00:29:21,110
And so, from the time that we approved this, what is the turnaround time

310
00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:26,970
I'll be around 8 to 10 months from now if we're moving it.

311
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:27,170
Okay.

312
00:29:30,030 --> 00:29:30,210
Okay.

313
00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:31,090
Thank you.

314
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:33,080
Okay.

315
00:29:33,260 --> 00:29:39,380
We've got a motion by Mr. Bell in a second by, I believe it was.

316
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:41,020
Okay.

317
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:42,940
My Mr. Out of the bundle.

318
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:46,680
Any other comments?

319
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:47,740
Okay.

320
00:29:47,860 --> 00:29:51,040
Your deliberators are open to you vote.

321
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:51,940
Okay.

322
00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:19,810
Okay, we've got 70 in favor, motion passes. Okay, moving on to item number 10, which is our action items, the approval of student code of conduct, student use of personal communication devices.

323
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:25,350
We've got Miss Sonya Azaila and I believe you've got a brief presentation for us.

324
00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:27,050
Yes, aye. Great, thank you.

325
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:35,580
I'm not driving the computer.

326
00:30:42,330 --> 00:30:43,390
Good evening, President.

327
00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:44,430
President, be ready.

328
00:30:44,570 --> 00:30:46,010
I'll members of the board and Dr. Hernandez.

329
00:30:46,610 --> 00:30:48,470
My name is Sonya Zayla, and I'm the Chief Officer

330
00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:50,650
of Accountability and Student Support Services.

331
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:54,470
And I'm going to be bringing forth the student code of conduct,

332
00:30:54,890 --> 00:30:57,570
specifically for the student use of personal communication

333
00:30:57,570 --> 00:30:58,530
devices.

334
00:30:58,970 --> 00:31:02,250
I prefer the contents of the actual student code of conduct

335
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:04,490
document over the next few slides.

336
00:31:07,090 --> 00:31:09,870
And in accordance with Texas House Bill

337
00:31:09,870 --> 00:31:17,390
1481 and as approved in board policy, F-N-C-E local last month, a student will not use a

338
00:31:17,390 --> 00:31:23,790
personal communication device or PCD to find as a cell phone tablet, laptop, smartwatch,

339
00:31:23,890 --> 00:31:30,030
smart glasses, headphones, earbuds, or any other electronic device capable of telecommunication

340
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:35,590
or digital communication, on-school property during the school day. While on-school property

341
00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:40,870
students must turn off and store their device in their backpacks, or the device must be

342
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:44,430
turned into the front office to be securely stored until the end of the school day.

343
00:31:45,230 --> 00:31:51,310
And if a personal communication device that has been confiscated is not retrieved by the

344
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:55,850
parentally or logged guardian within 90 days, the district may dispose of this device after

345
00:31:55,850 --> 00:31:58,790
providing the notice required by law, and that's out of policy.

346
00:31:58,790 --> 00:31:59,830
And

347
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:09,080
personal communication devices must be turned off and stored 15 minutes before the first period.

348
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:16,480
All personal communication devices must remain turned off and stored until the final bell after the last period of the school day.

349
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,980
And on the slide, notice you'll see specific times by campus level.

350
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:27,820
And just note the times for a zero period that Ray High School has as part of their IB program.

351
00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:35,060
And then adjusted start times for our branch and collegiate early high schools and in terms of doing that.

352
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:57,360
After this was written, we have seen other school districts using language rather than 15 minutes before just saying upon entering the school building as another potential that this time our recommendation was beginning 15 minutes before just so that we can set a time when students entering the building should power off their device.

353
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,700
And then we, as with other code of contact violations, we do have progressive discipline.

354
00:33:07,140 --> 00:33:09,180
So this chart will show that.

355
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:16,360
So a student who violates our communication device policies shall be subject to the progressive discipline techniques shown on this slide.

356
00:33:16,620 --> 00:33:23,360
For all instances where a student violates the device policy, the student's device will be confiscated by an administrator,

357
00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:28,360
securely stored in the office and documented in our discipline management system.

358
00:33:29,260 --> 00:33:34,820
Excuse me, parents or legal guardians are notified by the administrator of the policy violation

359
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:38,620
and any potential consequences as a result of that.

360
00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:43,620
The parent must pick up the device during normal school hours, and self-sequentive offenses

361
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:52,040
include assignment into in-school suspension or ISS, a $15 fee, and up to a parent face-to-face

362
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,580
conference with the administrator to discuss the policy violation.

363
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:06,460
During the development of our policy, the Code of Conduct of the Policy and the Code of Conduct,

364
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:11,560
various district and campus leaders provided input into the disciplinary consequences

365
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,820
that we are recommending for approval today, shown here on this slide.

366
00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:25,560
This statute and our policy allows for only a few clearly defined exceptions that are written in law.

367
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:32,020
if a student's individualized education program, or IEP, or their Section 504 plan,

368
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:37,120
specifically designates the use of a device. The students shall be permitted to use that device

369
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,740
in accordance with the accommodations outlined in those plans. Additionally, students may use

370
00:34:42,740 --> 00:34:48,800
the device if it is medically necessary and supported by physicians documentation. For example,

371
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:54,320
if a student is a diabetic or needs a hearing device because they are hearing impaired,

372
00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:00,500
or any other medical condition, and then lastly, the use of a device is permitted when required

373
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:06,400
to meet legal obligations, or to meet campus specific health or safety protocols.

374
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,720
And again, these are written in law.

375
00:35:10,890 --> 00:35:17,970
And then in chapter 37, requires that administrators consider any mitigating factors when determining

376
00:35:17,970 --> 00:35:23,350
disciplinary actions of any conduct violation, regardless of whether the infraction is mandatory

377
00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:30,930
or discretionary solicit here are those mitigating factors that the campus behavior coordinator

378
00:35:30,930 --> 00:35:36,510
or the CBC administrator shall take into consideration when assigning consequences for a

379
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:42,070
conduct violation. So thank you for your time. I welcome any feedback or questions that you may have.

380
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:46,290
Mr. Stila,

381
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:54,880
got Mr. Bell. First off, thank you. I know we're kind of inventing

382
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,880
airplane is reflying it, and I get that.

383
00:35:58,140 --> 00:36:04,580
What I was going through this, I did write down some questions that concerns is, we have

384
00:36:04,580 --> 00:36:11,040
some very specific times when they had to be turned off and on, if at some point in time

385
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:16,740
we change times, we're going to have to always come back and redo the policy, is that correct?

386
00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:22,240
Well, the policy of, well, it's in our code of conduct, do we do bring that back every year?

387
00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:31,460
And so, you know, we might find some wording that might be a little less specific that we don't have to come back and change all the time.

388
00:36:31,940 --> 00:36:40,140
Also, when I was looking at your committee of folks, I'm glad we ran across a lot of people's desk.

389
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:48,660
I wish we could have got some teachers that were in the trenches, some veteran teachers that have been around and have to kind of deal with it and get their input.

390
00:36:48,660 --> 00:36:54,700
The good thing about this is that we can always come back and revisit this and I would hope some some point in time

391
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:59,730
We have a survey where we we get some some input from our teachers and as like

392
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:06,220
What do you think how to go? What do we do better and and then at the implementation of because

393
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,440
The part in there where it says the administration has to take up the phone

394
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,770
There's gonna be some some rub right there between the student and the teacher and then the administrator right there

395
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,580
which

396
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:21,580
I had that question answered before you even asked it.

397
00:37:22,380 --> 00:37:22,440
Okay.

398
00:37:22,540 --> 00:37:23,140
You want to?

399
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:23,700
Yeah, thank you.

400
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,240
Great question.

401
00:37:24,380 --> 00:37:25,020
Mr. Verk there.

402
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:27,920
I had already asked it, but I'm glad you asked it.

403
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:32,120
So remember that the law changed right as we were going into the summer.

404
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,000
We didn't really get to see our teachers until we've started to school back up.

405
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,920
These are the groups that we really counted on as well as other school districts and what they're doing.

406
00:37:41,740 --> 00:37:45,880
But the teachers' voices are most important because they're going to see it every day in the classroom.

407
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:51,020
and we suggest that. Now that they're back, we can see how things are going. Now that the

408
00:37:51,020 --> 00:37:55,240
kids are at school, and we'll plan to get with them for their feedback, and then we have

409
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,320
to make tweaks. We'll bring it back to the board to incorporate all that.

410
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:04,280
And I appreciate that. I really do. But I know that we have teachers, phone numbers, and

411
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,100
there were some that, that price, and the teacher of the year that we could have engaged

412
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:14,160
and whatnot. And I know that that we'll come back and do that. I know we will. And the last

413
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:21,800
is as the administrators, as they take up these phones, because I can see this being in August

414
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:27,300
September, October being an issue as we figured out, that we have some place on their

415
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:34,240
campus that they can secure these phones. And because the last thing we want to do is have

416
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:39,840
somebody try to appear and talk about how, you know, their their son or daughter made a mistake

417
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,720
can pull their cell phone out, and now that $800 cell phone has gone missing or something like

418
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:50,660
that, so we need to be sure and have a place where we can secure the phones at all

419
00:38:50,660 --> 00:38:52,040
different campuses, whatnot.

420
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,280
Thank you.

421
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:55,220
This card.

422
00:38:58,030 --> 00:38:58,630
Excuse me.

423
00:38:59,290 --> 00:39:00,350
So, do you have a couple questions?

424
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:01,750
First of all, I start with the comment.

425
00:39:03,270 --> 00:39:10,310
I think all of us were at schools this morning, and one thing that I saw that I think we

426
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:13,650
and unequivocally agree on is a student

427
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:15,670
so I'm gonna have a problem with this self-ob Policy.

428
00:39:16,770 --> 00:39:18,850
They were engaged face-to-face with each other

429
00:39:18,850 --> 00:39:20,830
and they were learning how not to do it.

430
00:39:21,050 --> 00:39:22,570
Our problem is gonna be adults.

431
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:27,190
It's gonna be parents who are pitching a fit

432
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:29,910
because they can't get hold a little Johnny during the day.

433
00:39:30,270 --> 00:39:32,370
And those are the people that we really have to worry about.

434
00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:34,710
Our students are gonna be fantastic.

435
00:39:35,350 --> 00:39:36,950
I mean, what's that?

436
00:39:36,990 --> 00:39:37,630
Probably well.

437
00:39:37,950 --> 00:39:39,650
Yeah, I mean, I think it really takes

438
00:39:39,650 --> 00:39:45,030
a incredible amount of pressure off of our 30,000 students across the district.

439
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:50,510
So what we really need is parents and adults to buy in, and the kids are going to be

440
00:39:50,510 --> 00:39:51,130
just fine.

441
00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:57,770
That being said, what happens on the fourth event is the third event to repeat.

442
00:40:00,310 --> 00:40:08,180
And I guess I have a small problem, and I usually don't, I think that y'all bring wealth

443
00:40:08,180 --> 00:40:17,760
thought out policies just to look at and I certainly appreciate that, but the part about just

444
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:25,820
on the school campus, as far as not using the cell phone at that point at 730. If we've

445
00:40:25,820 --> 00:40:31,720
got a junior higher sitting at 835 outside and not in the school grounds and they're just

446
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:36,660
out killing time, because I've got technically another 10 minutes before they have to be in

447
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:41,660
school, are we actually telling them that they can't use their phone outside?

448
00:40:45,430 --> 00:40:46,890
So we'll define that.

449
00:40:47,110 --> 00:40:48,090
And we've been.

450
00:40:51,570 --> 00:40:54,930
This is, we found the language that she mentioned earlier.

451
00:40:55,210 --> 00:40:58,670
And that was that other districts we just recently after this.

452
00:40:58,950 --> 00:41:01,790
And what you're maybe even consider, we could adjust it.

453
00:41:01,790 --> 00:41:05,670
And it was, they must turn it off from the moment they enter the building

454
00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:06,750
in the morning.

455
00:41:07,170 --> 00:41:10,510
They can turn it back on the last bell because they're, you know,

456
00:41:11,950 --> 00:41:26,470
I'm sitting outside or I can't pick you up or Grandpa's going to pick you up, but it was other districts have gone with not 15 minutes before, but the moment you walk into the building that phone must be off in the morning, regardless of what time school starts for you.

457
00:41:26,790 --> 00:41:30,210
If you want to consider, we can adjust that language there.

458
00:41:30,210 --> 00:41:36,050
I mean, I know Mr. President might be a little late to adjust it now, but, I mean, with high

459
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:43,370
schools and junior highers sitting outside, I think it's, I think it's a little invasive to be

460
00:41:43,370 --> 00:41:47,390
very honest with you, to have them turn off at that time if they're sitting outside the school.

461
00:41:48,290 --> 00:41:52,850
And I would agree with you. I think that's a discussion that we had earlier when we're looking

462
00:41:52,850 --> 00:42:15,130
It's a general review because, you know, you think about all of these early morning practices right there on campus at 6 a.m. 630 and then they're done at 730 and they're there on campus in the building sometimes if it's volleyball or basketball or even football right if they're in the in the locker room.

463
00:42:15,130 --> 00:42:23,390
So, the way you would say, as soon as they enter, they would have to turn off their cell phone.

464
00:42:23,650 --> 00:42:28,050
And I just, you know, there's an hour there between, you know, let's say the end of practice

465
00:42:28,050 --> 00:42:31,990
and the beginning of the school that they're just in the locker room.

466
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:39,410
You know, again, there's some, I think there's some great area there that we need to think about and really define.

467
00:42:40,270 --> 00:42:46,650
What was the 15 minutes before the school bell come from? Is that just other districts or is there?

468
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,620
That was brought up also the districts are doing it that way but we also talked about it during the president's meeting.

469
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:59,140
It was 15 minutes before that way they wouldn't be walking into the classroom talking right before the bell rang.

470
00:43:01,410 --> 00:43:12,840
Because there are, you know, there are students, they get there. I mean doors don't open at eight fifty, you know, and so they're going to be in there.

471
00:43:19,420 --> 00:43:21,580
We've got, we've got a list here.

472
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,260
So that, I mean, that concludes my comments on my question.

473
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:25,740
I welcome.

474
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:26,280
I'm sorry.

475
00:43:26,540 --> 00:43:28,240
You have some to add to that.

476
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Let's,

477
00:43:35,610 --> 00:43:40,490
yeah, let's, let's go with Miss, Miss Hawkins. She's next on the list.

478
00:43:40,610 --> 00:43:42,490
Go ahead. I can go to the additional room.

479
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:46,460
Thank you.

480
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,480
I'm sorry,

481
00:43:53,710 --> 00:43:57,310
my question, well first of all, I just like to comment on the conversations

482
00:43:57,310 --> 00:44:01,950
going back and forth right here, I do believe that the students will self-regulate.

483
00:44:02,770 --> 00:44:08,570
I think that by the time they actually stepped foot through the threshold, they will

484
00:44:08,570 --> 00:44:15,820
probably have those phones off. Anyway, that's all I had said about that, but I wanted to

485
00:44:15,820 --> 00:44:23,460
question regarding those exceptions. So, you know, we do have students who have

486
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:33,080
health issues and the rules and regulations are making exceptions for that.

487
00:44:33,420 --> 00:44:41,710
And I guess my question is, is there a way for these students to maybe signal that

488
00:44:42,310 --> 00:44:50,810
other than being a constant in the hallways on third floor, second floor, and when they enter the building that they can,

489
00:44:50,930 --> 00:44:59,830
you know that the staff and the teachers know that this child has a hearing problem or, or, you know,

490
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:11,660
Some other issue that they have health wise, or maybe even, I don't know, are they having to wear this if they've got those ankle bracelets on?

491
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:20,920
On those, I think those are more looped to their wife light held, but in terms of the student health, the student health.

492
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:27,040
I can speak to the student health. Our students that have medical conditions do have care plans through our nurse's office.

493
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:33,640
teachers, most of them have a 504 or an IEP because of their medical condition and all

494
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,320
of that information is provided to the teachers of those students and so we talked about

495
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:38,540
this.

496
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,420
So if they're a diabetic student who's getting their glucose monitored, they could still leave

497
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:49,240
their device inside their backpack, it would just be turned on instead of off because

498
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,220
to track whatever there is or need to track for their medical conditions.

499
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,760
So we could talk about that, there's no need for the student to have it out on the desk,

500
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,640
they could still keep it in their backpack,

501
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,040
while still monitoring their medical condition.

502
00:46:01,220 --> 00:46:02,420
But the teachers would be aware

503
00:46:02,420 --> 00:46:05,620
because of their care plan, or their IEP, or 504.

504
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,040
Well, I know that.

505
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,400
I think we also need to be careful with any type of privacy laws,

506
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:17,940
but maybe they don't want anybody to know that they've got an issue

507
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:21,220
and by making them wear something, and be like,

508
00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:23,700
well, I'm not asking to make them wear something.

509
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,080
I'm just asking, was that discussed?

510
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:33,460
And it's part of their student health plan, their 504, their IEP, the teachers have access to that.

511
00:46:34,220 --> 00:46:40,120
And we've had those conversations through the nurses office, through the 504 office at the special education office.

512
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,900
So we're aware of who those students are who are needing some type of medical exception.

513
00:46:47,580 --> 00:46:48,600
Okay, that's all I wanted.

514
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:58,240
I think we have a great plan that we're getting a school started today, you know.

515
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:05,420
So we need to move forward if we start, you know, well, this campus we could do this time and things like that.

516
00:47:05,420 --> 00:47:07,620
Because I know we've had a lot of discussions with that.

517
00:47:07,660 --> 00:47:18,260
The only thing I, I would like to see or I'd like to ask is if we could give the administrators the discretion on the second offense for that 15 dollar fine.

518
00:47:19,220 --> 00:47:31,340
And the reason I, the, the rationale behind that is that I know the principles and administrators aren't going on to the campus looking for phones and they're going to warn the kids five, six time put your phone up put your phone up put your phone up put your phone up

519
00:47:31,340 --> 00:47:47,180
By the time they get to the official warnings here the kid would probably already been warned three or four times because I know they're doing a transition right now and announcing and doing all the kinds of things and it's like we said that kids are kids aren't going to have any problem whether it's the adults kind of thing but I would just like

520
00:47:47,180 --> 00:47:54,180
to give the administrators that discretion on the second offense for that $15 fee.

521
00:47:55,260 --> 00:47:57,840
I think that's what I'm talking about.

522
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,300
We're just trying to get the language set and then we can work with that.

523
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:02,320
Yeah.

524
00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:02,940
This is Charlie.

525
00:48:05,780 --> 00:48:10,580
Well, first of all, I wanted to go back to what you got the conversation about the, you know,

526
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:15,120
maybe when we're entering the building, I mean, I do like and prefer that language.

527
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:21,400
to President Villariel's point about sports starting earlier and there being

528
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:26,180
downtime before the school. I do think that is a little bit of a slippery slope of

529
00:48:26,180 --> 00:48:30,520
allowing the kids to use the phones. I mean, I think about when we were kids and

530
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,560
we were in that situation, we didn't have cell phones and we did fine with that

531
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,260
blank time before even between sports and school and not having a cell phone we

532
00:48:38,260 --> 00:48:42,660
talked to each other. And I think that's the whole intent of the law. So I think we

533
00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:47,540
need to try to seek to the antenna the law, but I also admit we're in, you know, we're in

534
00:48:47,540 --> 00:48:52,900
recognizing, we're in a modern day times and there may be time that in that hour or 45 minutes

535
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:57,420
that they need to breach their parents or make plans for work after school and maybe the

536
00:48:57,420 --> 00:49:01,640
compromise is step out of the building and take care of what you need to and then go back into

537
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:06,940
the building. So then when you enter the building, covers those spaces and allows the flexibility

538
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:11,340
we need rather than time constraints, so something to think about.

539
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:19,240
Anyway, the other thing I was wanting to talk about was that the adults, again,

540
00:49:19,380 --> 00:49:25,940
we were just talking about, but a little more specifically, if we have policies

541
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,720
that we're not really discussing today, but that are going to be implementing some

542
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:38,880
consistency for the staff to one model of behavior just like we've talked about it here on

543
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:47,020
our on our bias and modeling behavior ourselves, but for our staff, our teachers, everybody

544
00:49:47,020 --> 00:49:51,240
that works in the building to be modeling this same behavior, do we have a code, not a code

545
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:58,360
of conduct, but a standard that they are also being held to and that we don't need to discuss

546
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,640
that necessarily in public, but I guess it's just in general,

547
00:50:02,180 --> 00:50:03,720
is that, is that been talked about?

548
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,120
And two, is there some sort of plan for consistency

549
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:07,960
and enforcement?

550
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,400
Because I know last year, some of the feedback we got

551
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,260
when we started implementing our own policy

552
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:16,680
that wasn't statement dated, a lot of the feedback we got

553
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,240
was, well, this teacher's enforcing it strictly,

554
00:50:20,580 --> 00:50:24,220
this teacher is not, this teacher just turns the other,

555
00:50:24,380 --> 00:50:28,060
by six months in, this teacher turns the blind eye to it,

556
00:50:28,060 --> 00:50:30,420
is one doesn't, this one's really strict,

557
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:31,620
and there's no consistency.

558
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,880
And right now we're starting off strong.

559
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,800
I mean, I've heard nothing but good reports about it today.

560
00:50:37,420 --> 00:50:39,100
And I'm sure there'll be like that for a while,

561
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,860
but is there a plan to keep it consistent

562
00:50:42,860 --> 00:50:45,400
and to hold everybody to that standard

563
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,660
and make sure we stay consistent?

564
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,500
So from the adult standpoint, right?

565
00:50:51,020 --> 00:50:55,720
And it is not that we need to have discipline for the adults,

566
00:50:55,720 --> 00:51:02,760
But I mean just so that we make sure that if not just the parents, because that is, you know,

567
00:51:02,980 --> 00:51:07,620
the parents are going to be trying to text the kids and everything, but also our staff and, you know,

568
00:51:07,980 --> 00:51:11,840
that of course the staff needs to be able to check their phone during the day and deal with

569
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,080
their families and things like that too. I'm not saying that they don't, but in the middle of a

570
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:46,060
last period or as things get the novelty of the new year wears on, or eases up, is there a plan to maybe just make sure we stay strong and steady with this, is what I guess I'm saying, you know, and that we don't get four or five months in and start letting up off of this. And it's, oh, well, we're done with all of our work. There's three minutes left, you know, I mean that we don't, we don't start getting into that situation.

571
00:51:48,710 --> 00:51:54,910
We can work with our human resources and the assistance, and superintendents, and everybody.

572
00:51:55,110 --> 00:51:56,650
The supervisor is on what that looks like.

573
00:51:56,730 --> 00:51:57,490
It's making sure we're consistent.

574
00:51:57,610 --> 00:51:58,170
Yes, ma'am.

575
00:51:58,350 --> 00:52:02,050
And Dr. Alondas, when he had a super-touch leadership conference with all of the principles,

576
00:52:02,370 --> 00:52:04,650
and the assistance, superintendents, and the assistant principles.

577
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:07,830
He made it very clear that as we're moving in the cell phone policy,

578
00:52:08,370 --> 00:52:09,910
this law, it applied to everyone.

579
00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:14,250
And he shared, what Dr. How the story of the outboard president has stated,

580
00:52:14,250 --> 00:52:16,490
even in the board meetings we are all putting away our own photos.

581
00:52:17,010 --> 00:52:21,870
That's a, as you go, we check what we inspect, right?

582
00:52:21,870 --> 00:52:23,690
And so it's going to continue to.

583
00:52:23,770 --> 00:52:25,050
We're sure we're going to have those people.

584
00:52:25,130 --> 00:52:26,630
We're going to have to remind of it with anything.

585
00:52:27,050 --> 00:52:31,130
But we will, our goal is to have everyone and not let up.

586
00:52:31,550 --> 00:52:34,070
With the law having teeth on it, it's has really helped you.

587
00:52:37,130 --> 00:52:37,930
Thank you.

588
00:52:38,270 --> 00:52:38,870
Let's try to London.

589
00:52:39,930 --> 00:52:40,290
Thank you.

590
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:41,030
Thank you very much.

591
00:52:42,430 --> 00:52:45,150
And thank you for the report.

592
00:52:45,150 --> 00:52:53,850
And the couple of things, and Mr. Gonzalez, Charlie talked about, one of the points that I wanted to reinforce, and that's consistency in process.

593
00:52:54,770 --> 00:53:02,170
I think that's the other thing that principals are asking for, and how is the teachers, as far as getting direction from principals, that we be consistent.

594
00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:14,770
One in how we enforce the policy, but that again, that the issue, as I think, you know, she mentioned it, and you may have to.

595
00:53:14,770 --> 00:53:19,370
that at one campus this is being done at the other campus it's different and

596
00:53:19,370 --> 00:53:25,190
exceptional being made I've already heard of one story today but those

597
00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:30,250
exceptions you know well we're you know go ahead and just don't tell anybody kind

598
00:53:30,250 --> 00:53:37,090
of thing and how we enforce that I think that two points to that is our

599
00:53:37,090 --> 00:53:43,550
communication I think every campus has a website okay at a secondary school

600
00:53:43,550 --> 00:53:49,610
especially the high schools, they have very, very, what I call, the information and newsletters,

601
00:53:50,030 --> 00:53:55,530
and those newsletters have seen in three or four of those campuses where that aspect has

602
00:53:55,530 --> 00:54:02,110
been really emphasized. And I think all three are indicated to some extent that there was

603
00:54:02,110 --> 00:54:10,070
this transition period that was going to be happening this week. And then, but I mad, you know,

604
00:54:10,070 --> 00:54:15,110
about Superintendent's leadership conference where Dr. Nundus reinforced the issue of, here's what

605
00:54:15,110 --> 00:54:18,610
we're going to do. Everybody's got to be on board and everybody needs to be consistent.

606
00:54:19,390 --> 00:54:25,790
And I think that's the key issue there. In repeating that meetings, repeating in any direction,

607
00:54:26,470 --> 00:54:31,170
you know, what is the repetition as powerful? And I think that those are the things that we need to

608
00:54:31,170 --> 00:54:39,490
repeat. But the other, the audience that needs to really be reminded are the students themselves,

609
00:54:39,490 --> 00:54:44,230
especially at high school, you know, at high school where you've heard the stories about last year

610
00:54:44,230 --> 00:54:48,890
and even this year, well, no problem. I want to get a burner full, put it here or put it

611
00:54:48,890 --> 00:54:53,680
there and I'll have my other phone in my pocket or what have you. And, you know, these are the things that

612
00:54:54,970 --> 00:55:00,050
as our youngsters are being creative to see what they can do to extend the law. I think we just need

613
00:55:00,050 --> 00:55:07,090
to be aggressive in reminding them what the penalties are. And, you know, just what I talked about

614
00:55:07,090 --> 00:55:15,450
to the $15 fee moving it up to the second offense, Dr. Lennon, I don't know, that everyone knows

615
00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:22,390
all the community, all our parents. There may be a few exceptions. It'd probably less

616
00:55:22,390 --> 00:55:27,790
than 1% that don't realize this is a new state law. This is not something that CCISD has

617
00:55:27,790 --> 00:55:33,730
created. It's something that I'm glad that we got ahead of it last year, and I think we're

618
00:55:33,730 --> 00:55:42,990
ready for what has happened. So now things are, it's not a matter of transition time. Everybody knows

619
00:55:42,990 --> 00:55:47,330
about it. Everybody understands what it is. Everybody knows that we've got a law that we have to

620
00:55:47,330 --> 00:55:55,910
enforce to the credit of the discussion on the 15 minutes or the issue. You know, we hadn't really

621
00:55:55,910 --> 00:56:01,050
defined clearly what the school day was and that's the reason for the time that we put and took

622
00:56:01,050 --> 00:56:04,010
that 15 minutes as a recommendation.

623
00:56:05,050 --> 00:56:07,610
And, again, as students come on to understand,

624
00:56:09,230 --> 00:56:10,590
at elementary or in middle schools,

625
00:56:10,750 --> 00:56:12,550
you really have those that are there early

626
00:56:12,550 --> 00:56:14,330
because of parents working.

627
00:56:15,170 --> 00:56:17,710
And then at high schools, it varies

628
00:56:17,710 --> 00:56:21,690
because students want to be there early anyway,

629
00:56:21,790 --> 00:56:24,370
because then I'm going to school them start to lie.

630
00:56:25,230 --> 00:56:29,710
But I think I want to give it a time to see about whether

631
00:56:29,710 --> 00:56:34,030
We have to refine that, but the main thing is that whatever

632
00:56:34,030 --> 00:56:37,530
we're getting, that it ends up being at all high schools,

633
00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:41,230
it's consistent, at all middle schools, it's consistent.

634
00:56:42,310 --> 00:56:44,110
And you know, and down the line.

635
00:56:44,670 --> 00:56:50,410
But I think that we need to really reinforce to our student body,

636
00:56:50,450 --> 00:56:53,850
especially at our secondary schools, that this is,

637
00:56:54,050 --> 00:56:58,110
as they would say, for real, and we need to just comply

638
00:56:58,110 --> 00:57:03,690
on the law, we have some offenses, and at one point I thought are wanting to come in today

639
00:57:04,510 --> 00:57:12,210
and make it only two opportunities to be given a chance, but I'll certainly leave that

640
00:57:13,370 --> 00:57:18,410
to the, you know, to the, you know, what the total board would like to do, but it's not

641
00:57:18,410 --> 00:57:24,750
like, you know, how many times do we let a youngster know, you know, and especially

642
00:57:24,750 --> 00:57:30,550
as high school. You know, these are young men and women and I respect that and I treat them

643
00:57:30,550 --> 00:57:35,410
that way. These are not elementary pre-cations or maybe you're still having an aspect

644
00:57:35,410 --> 00:57:43,170
of learning, but we need to emphasize your being held to this. You're going to be given a few

645
00:57:43,170 --> 00:57:48,390
days to kind of work that out. Like today I saw a lot of ear buds. You know, and I'm going

646
00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:53,010
to put ear buds as far as a list. Because that's going to be something that I think

647
00:57:53,010 --> 00:57:57,690
as habit format, as that bandwidth, all our students at all our levels.

648
00:57:59,090 --> 00:58:01,930
That's what I'm going to be curious to see how that's going to go.

649
00:58:03,070 --> 00:58:07,010
But I know I give a lot of credit to our administrators in that.

650
00:58:07,130 --> 00:58:11,050
They know the things that they've had to deal with and challenge with.

651
00:58:11,490 --> 00:58:13,010
Certainly our teachers do too.

652
00:58:13,890 --> 00:58:18,830
But we just need to be aggressive to remind students, this is the law.

653
00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:20,490
This is your time limit.

654
00:58:20,490 --> 00:58:28,290
After that, it's no holes for you know what the consequences are and we need to hold it to that and again

655
00:58:28,290 --> 00:58:35,770
You know, you talked about adults, you know, our parents we certainly want to garden of their support and in reminding

656
00:58:35,770 --> 00:58:39,550
their children that their students and the young adults that

657
00:58:40,670 --> 00:58:48,230
You know, don't start asking me for some kinds of exceptions or allows because then I don't want to be part of breaking the law

658
00:58:48,230 --> 00:58:49,070
you know, and

659
00:58:49,070 --> 00:58:56,070
So, you know, I think the information, the discussion we've had is well-intended.

660
00:58:57,330 --> 00:59:02,250
I would consider that very, we look at just two offenses as opposed to three.

661
00:59:02,290 --> 00:59:04,250
We went from four to three, and I think that was good.

662
00:59:05,150 --> 00:59:08,550
As far as the financial part, I think that would open $15, $30, I'm fine.

663
00:59:09,330 --> 00:59:12,730
But making parents and students especially need to understand,

664
00:59:13,730 --> 00:59:17,850
you've got a commitment that you need to accept, and let's work through it.

665
00:59:17,850 --> 00:59:28,910
All of us are willing to make some kind of concession as far as tweaking this as we go along, but at this point, that's what we have, and we would want to have everyone hold to that.

666
00:59:29,850 --> 00:59:34,370
And beyond the third offense, I will, I will share that that's why we have the mitigating factors.

667
00:59:34,670 --> 00:59:38,090
So you, administrators have that discretion, like what happens after the third offense.

668
00:59:38,470 --> 00:59:43,190
And our high school principals specifically have been working with Dr. Wilson. They have a common flyer.

669
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:47,190
created that online with this. They're waiting for border approval and then through

670
00:59:47,190 --> 00:59:51,630
just that consistent, like you said, the consistent reminders with the weekly news

671
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:54,910
letter, just like we get the reminder about dress code every week, they'll get the

672
00:59:54,910 --> 00:59:58,810
reminder about the communication device every week as well. So you're right, the more

673
00:59:58,810 --> 00:59:59,990
we hear it, the more we hear it.

674
01:00:00,690 --> 01:00:02,810
Thank you. Thank you. We have all that. Thank you, Mr. Niel.

675
01:00:03,590 --> 01:00:10,250
And lastly, hopefully. My experience is that mostly kids are going to do the right thing most of the time.

676
01:00:10,530 --> 01:00:14,730
And there's always going to be some kiddos that are going to kind of push the gray area.

677
01:00:15,390 --> 01:00:19,890
What are we going to do when lunches or show mom and dad's children lunches? Because how are the care?

678
01:00:20,050 --> 01:00:23,350
They kids are going to order their lunches and they're on the cell phone.

679
01:00:23,350 --> 01:00:29,010
I will say that Mr. Clark and I were over, that's this morning when Mr. Walker gave his

680
01:00:29,010 --> 01:00:29,410
announcements.

681
01:00:29,690 --> 01:00:35,930
The only announcement he had was about cell phones, put him away, salaud, did the right

682
01:00:35,930 --> 01:00:36,570
thing.

683
01:00:37,370 --> 01:00:42,810
I've had some feeds on my social media where some other high schools, and I know most of

684
01:00:42,810 --> 01:00:52,250
our campus's high school campuses have a TV production opportunity that they, they, the

685
01:00:52,250 --> 01:00:57,730
PSA I saw was the campus leader saying, hey, it's just the right thing to do, put it

686
01:00:57,730 --> 01:01:02,310
your backpack, you know, and when you see your leader saying that, and they're walking around

687
01:01:02,310 --> 01:01:08,950
campus and, you know, hey, but put it, your backpack is the law, and it's not the school board's

688
01:01:08,950 --> 01:01:16,590
policy, it's the state of Texas policy, and so we need to follow that. And the next thing is,

689
01:01:16,710 --> 01:01:21,550
is I know Dr. Nandis is really telling us administrative staff, I'm just going to check

690
01:01:21,550 --> 01:01:29,430
down to the principles and the assistant principles, and what not. But as we're walking through

691
01:01:29,430 --> 01:01:33,610
the campuses, our ministrations walking through the campuses, and they do see the kids with

692
01:01:33,610 --> 01:01:40,310
the headsets on. There are buds in, and they do see kids that we need to bring that to the

693
01:01:40,310 --> 01:01:46,290
attention of the teachers. And so I'm going to tell you, if teachers know that this is real,

694
01:01:46,510 --> 01:01:51,110
and it's not only said the kid back, he's going to come back with the fall, and nothing happened

695
01:01:51,110 --> 01:01:55,310
to me, but he leaves and something happens to him, teachers will get on board, they'll start doing

696
01:01:55,310 --> 01:01:55,710
that.

697
01:01:56,050 --> 01:02:01,430
The only thing I have to say about teachers and cell phones is we have a lot of our teachers

698
01:02:01,430 --> 01:02:08,170
in high schools that wear two hats, either band or coaches or drill team or sponsors or

699
01:02:08,170 --> 01:02:12,550
something like that, and I'm going to tell you just from experience, they do a lot of work

700
01:02:12,550 --> 01:02:21,090
with their cell phone, in terms of just scheduling, comparing contacts and things like that,

701
01:02:21,090 --> 01:02:26,710
along that line. So we just need to be very careful as we say that, you know, we don't want

702
01:02:26,710 --> 01:02:32,450
our teachers to do this or do that, that, you know, they're professionals. And we need to

703
01:02:32,450 --> 01:02:35,690
treat them as professionals. And if it's something out of hand, then there needs to

704
01:02:35,690 --> 01:02:40,910
have a conversation about, hey, you spend more time on your cell phone than you are up and

705
01:02:40,910 --> 01:02:44,710
around and, you know, parenting our kiddos.

706
01:02:45,530 --> 01:02:49,530
But, and then as we go along,

707
01:02:49,830 --> 01:02:54,510
I collect data, as we collect money and we have, you know,

708
01:02:54,690 --> 01:02:58,310
people are being referred to the office and, and how it's going

709
01:02:58,310 --> 01:03:01,430
collect data and come back and let's have another conversation

710
01:03:01,430 --> 01:03:05,350
about this, because I do think there's some tweaks in terms of time

711
01:03:05,350 --> 01:03:09,710
or in entered into the school building, or one of the fans,

712
01:03:09,710 --> 01:03:11,830
or three offenses versus a second offense.

713
01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:18,490
I think there's a lot of engaging teachers in the discipline chart and stuff like that.

714
01:03:18,690 --> 01:03:27,490
I think there's some more conversation down the down the road for you guys and for the board here.

715
01:03:28,850 --> 01:03:31,310
That's all I have. Thank you. Thank you for your report. I appreciate it.

716
01:03:32,290 --> 01:03:32,770
Okay,

717
01:03:38,460 --> 01:03:44,740
since it's an action item, I assume that we could make amendment to the policy, is that correct?

718
01:03:48,180 --> 01:03:48,520
We don't know.

719
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,080
No, I'm getting clarification.

720
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,600
Okay, so we need a motion in a second.

721
01:03:59,830 --> 01:04:04,470
First, in that case, I would like to make a motion to approve the action item.

722
01:04:04,910 --> 01:04:09,950
Amended to say that cell phones will be turned off five minutes before the bell

723
01:04:09,950 --> 01:04:14,150
or upon entrance of school building, whichever comes first.

724
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:29,380
In 15 minutes, if you're sitting outside the building, you're just trying to

725
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:31,540
go.

726
01:04:32,420 --> 01:04:33,180
This is for themselves.

727
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,200
As they enter the building, yes.

728
01:04:35,460 --> 01:04:36,080
Okay, it says.

729
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,300
So what was the intent?

730
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,240
15 minutes inside the building?

731
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,220
Yes, we did not.

732
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,060
We didn't feel that it, we could cover that outside.

733
01:04:55,380 --> 01:04:57,260
There are too many spaces for people to be following.

734
01:04:57,540 --> 01:04:59,000
That was our apologies.

735
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:05,340
the intent was 15 minutes when they were in the building, which is why we recommended entering

736
01:05:05,340 --> 01:05:09,320
the building as opposed to students using a phone inside the building even as a school day

737
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,120
hasn't started.

738
01:05:10,620 --> 01:05:14,980
So the amendment was really, yes, we would be specific, thank you.

739
01:05:19,540 --> 01:05:19,940
Thank you.

740
01:05:24,610 --> 01:05:30,470
Well, that's, yes, because that's not the action item that I read.

741
01:05:30,470 --> 01:05:40,950
So I'll withdraw my amendment motion and get clarity of what the intent was by our administration for the action item.

742
01:05:43,580 --> 01:05:54,940
And of this action item, the way that it's read, was meant to state, and our apologies, is that 15 minutes before the first bell, the phone had to be turned off.

743
01:05:56,460 --> 01:06:03,840
Well, well, in some cases, our recommendations, their after would have been at pun entry in the building.

744
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:10,100
So they could be eating cafeteria in the morning and while they're eating in the cafeteria, they can be on their phones.

745
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:16,700
But in the whole intent is put the phone away and start communicating with your fellow students.

746
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:24,920
It just seems to me that once you walk into the building, your phones away, there's no unless you have one of them.

747
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:31,640
the three exemptions. It's putting your backpack, block it up, turn your phone off. And I think

748
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:38,400
five minutes before the bell or just when you walk into the building, it's all off.

749
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,760
And it's not as I walk through the door, I'm walking down the halls and I'm saying, oh yeah,

750
01:06:53,860 --> 01:07:00,860
yeah, but the devil's in the detail is that we have to have people, especially at the high school

751
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:02,460
I will stand in front door.

752
01:07:02,740 --> 01:07:06,740
Remember, we got signage, we have somebody with the bull horn,

753
01:07:06,900 --> 01:07:09,940
screaming out of turn yourself on off, something like that.

754
01:07:11,180 --> 01:07:14,500
But that's probably the easiest thing to do instead of,

755
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,300
in that way, we don't have to come back

756
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:20,320
and amend any policies with the times.

757
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,520
And this time, at the zero hour for Ray High School

758
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,660
or Collegiate Branch, this is great for them.

759
01:07:27,660 --> 01:07:31,460
and you walk through a door of one of our schools,

760
01:07:32,060 --> 01:07:33,660
your cell phone is off.

761
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:34,520
Put away.

762
01:07:34,780 --> 01:07:36,360
One of the things we want to do too,

763
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,260
I think the reason, part of the reason,

764
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,000
we were so successful with our safety audits,

765
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,580
when they were sending visitors, random visitors

766
01:07:43,580 --> 01:07:47,260
to come into our schools and try to check all our doors,

767
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,880
front sides, back, is because every morning,

768
01:07:52,180 --> 01:07:54,100
we made it part of the morning announcements,

769
01:07:54,820 --> 01:07:56,780
to remind the students not to let.

770
01:07:56,780 --> 01:08:03,320
any one in the doors, the area one had to come to the front, that's what we're going to do with the cell phones.

771
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:09,220
It will be a reminder every morning that the cell phones are not allowed in the schools as part of the state law.

772
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:15,240
Again, we sound to try to try, but some reminders are going to be what's happening.

773
01:08:16,900 --> 01:08:24,580
So what we really need to do is the amendment needs to be, once you enter a CCIC school building,

774
01:08:24,940 --> 01:08:28,120
if you're a student, you're phone needs to be off.

775
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:34,400
As you're walking through that door needs to be off and in the backpack now,

776
01:08:36,890 --> 01:08:39,110
let me restake my amendment.

777
01:08:39,310 --> 01:08:39,730
Do it.

778
01:08:40,270 --> 01:08:42,350
I make a motion to accept the action item.

779
01:08:42,350 --> 01:08:48,290
amended to say, cell phones will be turned off five minutes before the ball rings upon entrance

780
01:08:48,290 --> 01:08:54,390
into a school building. What is the purpose of the five minutes?

781
01:08:57,620 --> 01:09:00,040
15 minutes, it was really

782
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:06,540
just to define arbitrary. So I think as somebody who discussed that 15 minutes, I'd be fine

783
01:09:06,540 --> 01:09:12,920
with getting rid of the time. I think we're all on board with that. Take the honest off of everybody

784
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:17,080
enforcing it and encourage the socialization that it was going to

785
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,420
have a lot. So would you withdraw your amendment or

786
01:09:20,420 --> 01:09:23,820
amendment or for the second time? I'll withdraw my amendment to the

787
01:09:23,820 --> 01:09:27,160
afternoon. And I will all create third and hopefully

788
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,640
final amendment to the action item to say cell phones will be

789
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,300
turned off from the time you enter the CCIP building.

790
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,860
And I'm not going to repeat all that but I would like to

791
01:09:35,860 --> 01:09:37,820
amend to that to give the administrators the

792
01:09:37,820 --> 01:09:40,760
discretion on the second fence for that 50.

793
01:09:46,940 --> 01:09:48,900
Let's get control over the process.

794
01:09:51,260 --> 01:09:52,160
Let's have a motion.

795
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:52,340
Let's have a motion.

796
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:53,200
I need you to second.

797
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,060
I'll second that.

798
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,020
Now you've got a motion.

799
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:58,380
Everybody clear about the motion.

800
01:09:58,700 --> 01:09:59,060
Main motion.

801
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:00,440
Take it.

802
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,220
Can I be repeated so we can make sure we know what we're doing.

803
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:05,700
You want me to repeat it.

804
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:10,720
The main motion is to prove the proposal subject to changing

805
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:16,660
that is clear upon entry of a school building, selflessness, we put it away. Everybody under

806
01:10:16,660 --> 01:10:22,300
that's the motion now. That's motion by Mr. Clark in a second by Mr. Bill. Okay.

807
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:28,920
Now, I think you have an amendment to that motion, and for the sake of the administrators

808
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:34,140
to discretion, the second of Ben's to charge the 15 off. Okay, so now you have to see

809
01:10:34,140 --> 01:10:37,460
you have a second to this amendment.

810
01:10:38,420 --> 01:10:40,160
You need a motion.

811
01:10:40,500 --> 01:10:41,580
You need a motion.

812
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,800
You have to have a second.

813
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:47,260
Your second.

814
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,160
May you vote on the amendment.

815
01:10:49,780 --> 01:10:52,740
So we have discussion before that, because I have something to say.

816
01:10:52,860 --> 01:10:55,660
You have a discussion on the proposed amendment.

817
01:10:56,020 --> 01:10:58,460
So the only discussion would relate to this issue.

818
01:10:58,460 --> 01:11:03,080
of discretion to the $15.50 that's all you can discuss.

819
01:11:03,140 --> 01:11:04,380
You can do that first.

820
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:05,080
All right.

821
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:05,320
All right.

822
01:11:05,460 --> 01:11:05,820
That's right.

823
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,120
Here is my struggle with that.

824
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:15,940
When you have discretion, when we use that word, discretion, well, we're going to apply it at this school.

825
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,180
But it doesn't get applied at this school.

826
01:11:19,780 --> 01:11:26,840
Or it gets applied at this school and it doesn't get applied with fidelity or it's applied at this school.

827
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,100
sometimes most of the times.

828
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,300
And I understand the discretion part.

829
01:11:33,460 --> 01:11:36,580
And so we're putting something to give our administrators

830
01:11:38,440 --> 01:11:41,220
that it will roll up and bite them.

831
01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:41,700
I feel.

832
01:11:42,440 --> 01:11:43,540
I would agree with that.

833
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,600
I have a problem with just discretion in general,

834
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,600
not so much the $15.

835
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:53,920
But like you said, what if it's a good kid?

836
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,340
And they don't get fined.

837
01:11:56,340 --> 01:12:00,880
And then on the second one, there's a bad kid and they get fined.

838
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:06,400
I think what we've heard up here is all about consistency and trying to make sure that

839
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:12,760
our teachers, our administrators, are able to enforce it consistently without having

840
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:17,420
somebody question without a parent being able to question, hey, well, I heard, you

841
01:12:17,420 --> 01:12:25,160
know, they didn't get fined. Why am I fined? You know, and so, well, I agree with you.

842
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:33,920
I think the whole discretion part of this, it gives some gray areas, which we don't want

843
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,320
to die, right?

844
01:12:35,940 --> 01:12:37,360
The gray areas will get pushed.

845
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,960
Just, let's tighten it out and take to the perspective.

846
01:12:40,860 --> 01:12:44,000
Just put $15 fee to retrieve device.

847
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,420
On the second offense.

848
01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:49,000
So will you amend your amendment?

849
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:57,740
I'm ending the amendment to the amendment that we add and remove discretion, but I add the $15.50

850
01:12:57,740 --> 01:13:00,260
to retrieve the device after the second offense.

851
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:01,140
I'm just talking.

852
01:13:02,100 --> 01:13:02,340
Okay.

853
01:13:02,580 --> 01:13:08,440
So we've got a motion to amend the amendment of $15.

854
01:13:08,780 --> 01:13:18,340
So what we're going to do is add $15 fine to the second offense and it will not be discretionary.

855
01:13:18,340 --> 01:13:23,920
take out discretion so we're going to vote on that you're the Raiders we're going to vote on that

856
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:24,820
amendment.

857
01:13:27,940 --> 01:13:35,240
No this is just that. $15 fee. Okay so you're to the Raiders are open. Okay so

858
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:44,580
vote, hold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. There we go. So seven o to accept that amendment. Okay,

859
01:13:44,700 --> 01:13:48,820
now we're going to vote on the main motion. Well on here's yeah the main motion

860
01:13:48,820 --> 01:14:17,740
We have a motion and a second already on the correct. Is there any discussion relating to that item or is there any discussion just to clarify that we have put in the recommendation time so we're going to eliminate that right that's correct. We're going to take times off of that. That's wanted to be sure that perfect. Thank you. Okay Mr. Clerk.

861
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:30,400
Yeah, so before we vote, I will just say that as we've discussed here, the implementation and the execution,

862
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:33,700
it needs to be consistent.

863
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:40,180
And I know one of the things that you asked was the teachers, right?

864
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:48,380
What did we get there input? And I think we all on this dice, no teachers, some more than others, and I've already had conversations with them.

865
01:14:48,380 --> 01:14:56,260
and what I've encouraged them to do is give us our give us their feedback because without that feedback we don't know what's actually going on.

866
01:14:56,580 --> 01:14:59,660
And so again we need them.

867
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:22,820
We need to create an environment where teachers are welcome to give their feedback on this policy and not be afraid to say something that's going on or say, hey, you know, at lunch, you know, we see a bunch of kids with their cell phones, you know, we need to be able to take those that feedback seriously.

868
01:15:22,820 --> 01:15:32,860
So, again, I would encourage anybody who knows a teacher to ask them, you know, so I said we're relying on you to tell us how things are going.

869
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,600
And, you know, because they're the ones in the classrooms every day and they're the ones enforcing it.

870
01:15:37,700 --> 01:15:45,440
And so, we need to be able to get that feedback in order to make sure that we know that our decisions and our policies are working.

871
01:15:45,440 --> 01:15:51,420
And I would, I would encourage, after we get done in this spring, because this is going

872
01:15:51,420 --> 01:15:56,400
to hear the school years just fly by, that we come back and have a conversation about

873
01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:01,860
this as well, and, you know, obviously, Dr. Nens is going to see what worked, what didn't

874
01:16:01,860 --> 01:16:07,080
work, and what can we do to make it better? And I think this, we've done two things to

875
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:19,550
that the evening tonight that I think will as some consistency to make it easier for everybody

876
01:16:19,550 --> 01:16:25,910
to walk in and walk out, turn your phone off, turn your phone off and that type of deal.

877
01:16:26,550 --> 01:16:32,490
Okay, so we've got a motion in a second, your deliberators are open and we've got

878
01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:39,130
7000 to approve the motion, so item 10 is approved.

879
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:42,220
Thank you.

880
01:16:42,220 --> 01:16:46,720
Okay, thank you for all the input and conversation.

881
01:16:47,780 --> 01:16:49,340
Moving on to item 11 are calendar.

882
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:50,580
You can see there.

883
01:16:50,780 --> 01:16:53,180
We've got a lot of stuff going on.

884
01:16:54,020 --> 01:16:55,980
So just make which can.

885
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,500
Board of trustees and superintendent remarks.

886
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,800
I'll start over on this in this trolley if you've got anything.

887
01:17:06,590 --> 01:17:21,110
Just welcome back to everybody and thanks to all of our teachers, everybody seems really excited today and enjoyed being out at the schools today and looking forward to everything kicking back in with our sports and supporting our students.

888
01:17:21,110 --> 01:17:29,830
Mr. Court, did Odomus Gonzalez-Trawley's comments, but I will repeat an earlier comment

889
01:17:29,830 --> 01:17:31,310
in the agenda item.

890
01:17:32,590 --> 01:17:33,330
Our kids are resilient.

891
01:17:34,030 --> 01:17:38,370
They're going to be fine, parents need to get on board, and all the adults need to get

892
01:17:38,370 --> 01:17:38,730
on board.

893
01:17:39,290 --> 01:17:43,390
Because in the end, this is going to be fantastic for the mental health of the youth of

894
01:17:43,390 --> 01:17:44,110
the city.

895
01:17:44,410 --> 01:17:45,250
That's all I got here.

896
01:17:46,730 --> 01:17:50,730
Ms. Hawkins, I just wanted to say I didn't get a chance to get to this in school this morning.

897
01:17:50,730 --> 01:17:59,250
I woke up and went feeling very well, but I do want to wish all of the students and the teachers,

898
01:18:00,330 --> 01:18:08,150
those are those that's the floor for what we do and my prayer is that we have a great year,

899
01:18:08,190 --> 01:18:15,150
a safe year and that even with this phone business come and hopefully going out the window that there

900
01:18:15,150 --> 01:18:21,710
be some improvements, not on just behavior but relationships with each other, learning how to

901
01:18:21,710 --> 01:18:27,170
visit, how to talk and how to have conversations. So that's my concern and that's my

902
01:18:27,170 --> 01:18:34,830
prayer for this year. And just let the teachers know that 100% had

903
01:18:37,460 --> 01:18:39,660
an opportunity to get out of

904
01:18:39,660 --> 01:18:45,560
several campuses and my observation was I went to Creek's side and all the little little

905
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,400
So they're in the pre-kinder and kindergarten.

906
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,640
They're all lined up and a lot of pink.

907
01:18:49,700 --> 01:18:51,160
A lot of pink today.

908
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:56,800
And then I went over to a middle school and it's kind of a different vibe.

909
01:18:57,540 --> 01:19:00,720
And kids are a little bit older and trying to be a little bit more grown-up.

910
01:19:00,820 --> 01:19:02,660
And then I went to two high schools.

911
01:19:02,780 --> 01:19:05,020
And this is like, we're here.

912
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:05,860
We've arrived.

913
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:09,640
And so you get to see the Alpha and the Omega,

914
01:19:10,140 --> 01:19:14,440
which is kind of brings a full circle of what we're doing.

915
01:19:14,440 --> 01:19:19,900
You know, here we are, here we start, and here we finish, and that's really kind of

916
01:19:19,900 --> 01:19:21,540
was pretty cool to say.

917
01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:28,120
Dr. Nens and I were at Lexington Middle School today, and that went pretty smooth.

918
01:19:28,580 --> 01:19:33,600
I thought, you know, not too many traffic jams, and we got them out of the cars and got them

919
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,720
going and organized and up and running pretty good.

920
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,940
And Kudos to that staff over there as well.

921
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:46,940
We still got a lot of work to do on the athletic fields over there, I mean, a lot of work, of course, triathlete.

922
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:48,880
Just saying.

923
01:19:49,460 --> 01:19:50,420
Just saying triathlete.

924
01:19:50,980 --> 01:19:51,300
All right.

925
01:19:51,900 --> 01:19:55,460
But anyway, you know, it's day one of 174 days.

926
01:19:55,940 --> 01:19:56,260
That's crazy.

927
01:19:56,740 --> 01:20:00,300
It'll be here before 174, be here before you know it.

928
01:20:00,420 --> 01:20:00,500
Yes.

929
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:00,980
Mr. Onanda.

930
01:20:01,580 --> 01:20:09,240
I really want to take the opportunity to congratulate our CCSD staff and the students.

931
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:17,240
to put on the program, the news east of Jr. Attended Matt Neon, Sunday, and I already thought

932
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:23,720
that it was going to be like, but the auditorium was packed. And let me tell you folks,

933
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:29,540
you've never seen a Broadway play. This is as close as you can get here as a corporate

934
01:20:29,540 --> 01:20:35,440
school, even with a play bill. That was kind of cool. But the students were outstanding,

935
01:20:35,440 --> 01:20:46,000
I would just amaze, but scooters do all the car and what is it to the theater arts sponsors

936
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,100
that put this all together, but especially to the young men and women who performed.

937
01:20:50,340 --> 01:20:57,840
It would just an amazing feat and you know, we just need to sign up, you know, to me aspect

938
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:02,140
of that program can represent it at the next state conference as far as I'm concerned

939
01:21:02,140 --> 01:21:07,520
for the school board, you know, we go there and we're always taken back as to the different

940
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:12,240
performances by students. Hey, that's the number one building that we need to take on the road,

941
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:19,480
as far as I'm concerned. Then today I did have the opportunity to visit six campuses,

942
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:25,760
a couple of entries, a couple of middle schools, a high school, but I made it a point to go

943
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:30,900
to Lexington and middle school, I was heading out there a little after lunch, but then just took

944
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:37,800
more time, and then went out there and got there just at the passing period. As many you know,

945
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:44,980
at a secondary, especially in middle school, passing period, you can almost kind of want to

946
01:21:44,980 --> 01:21:49,240
lean up against the passing. I mean, the wall is just to see what happens. Folks let me tell you

947
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:54,260
that I was one of the most oriented passing periods I've seen. I know that it doesn't have a full

948
01:21:54,260 --> 01:22:02,700
of student body, I think they had about 590 or 540 students today, but the comments by teachers,

949
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:08,340
but not teachers, but the office staff was at everything, seemed to be so easy flowing

950
01:22:08,340 --> 01:22:12,680
that students understood which way to go left, right up and down, second and fourth,

951
01:22:12,820 --> 01:22:16,940
first, fourth, et cetera, and that everything just was really smooth, but had an opportunity

952
01:22:16,940 --> 01:22:22,420
to congratulate Stimary García, the new principal, a total asset I've made at a point

953
01:22:22,420 --> 01:22:28,800
visit just acknowledge the congratulations for that promotion, but didn't forget that she

954
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:34,480
used to be in district to it as a principal of a costaurus. So, just wanted to go by and

955
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:40,740
say thank you, the facility is awesome, and I was going to make it to Hamlin didn't. But the last

956
01:22:40,740 --> 01:22:48,240
point, again, as we've talked about this new amended policy, you know, we are going to count on

957
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:55,140
administrators, quite a bit, to see about that consistency and reforming things for their staff

958
01:22:55,140 --> 01:23:00,360
and students, but I have to agree with Mr. Clark. What we've done and I'm glad that to

959
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:05,080
proud to say that we started last year, I had a most, well, actually, well, most of the

960
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:10,620
state, the few other school districts are doing that. But you talk about enhancing the mental and

961
01:23:10,620 --> 01:23:16,380
emotional, you know, lives of our students. I really think that that people and our parents

962
01:23:16,380 --> 01:23:22,280
probably realize that more so than ever, and I think it's going to be great to see students

963
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:28,740
talking with each other as opposed to doing negative things in social media while at school,

964
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,340
so I'm looking forward to that. Thank you, Mr. Bideon. That's it.

965
01:23:32,700 --> 01:23:39,160
Thank you. I want to give a shout out to Big Brothers Big Sisters. We had over 45 volunteers,

966
01:23:39,500 --> 01:23:44,000
the Chamber of different organizations of volunteer at various campuses.

967
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,720
We were doing a big high-five, high-breeding student staff.

968
01:23:49,780 --> 01:23:51,540
They looked great at Shannon.

969
01:23:51,540 --> 01:23:54,020
It was a great transition for those kids getting there.

970
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:58,820
All those smiling faces and beautiful shoes and outfits and bows.

971
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,560
And that was a great day.

972
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:03,720
Great start to the year.

973
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,240
And then also just want to give a shout out.

974
01:24:06,460 --> 01:24:12,300
If somebody can text me the score, we do have many of our students who are going to be freshmen

975
01:24:12,300 --> 01:24:14,020
that representing our various high schools

976
01:24:14,020 --> 01:24:15,540
at the Pony League World Series.

977
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:18,600
They're doing great, and I don't want to jinx that,

978
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:20,440
but if somebody can text me in the score,

979
01:24:20,620 --> 01:24:21,840
I would greatly appreciate that.

980
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,000
But thank you for all you do, and thank you so much.

981
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,180
It means after the meeting,

982
01:24:27,300 --> 01:24:30,080
I went on through the meeting, after the meeting.

983
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,540
We just spent an hour talking about Pony's

984
01:24:33,540 --> 01:24:34,920
and the last thing you say is text.

985
01:24:34,980 --> 01:24:37,740
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

986
01:24:37,740 --> 01:24:41,100
Yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

987
01:24:41,100 --> 01:24:43,760
Dr. Nunnis, just a real quick, Mr.

988
01:24:43,860 --> 01:24:45,300
but I had it right there.

989
01:24:45,660 --> 01:24:47,000
So many volunteers today.

990
01:24:47,100 --> 01:24:48,260
Every campus I went to,

991
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:49,880
there were different groups there.

992
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,360
Just happy to be a part of that first day.

993
01:24:53,380 --> 01:24:55,820
I also recognized as I was at the campuses.

994
01:24:56,020 --> 01:24:59,220
We had a lot of families who, for whatever reason,

995
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,880
were just now checking their kids into those campuses.

996
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,620
I understand, I like an ass that just be patient.

997
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,420
While you're getting things coordinated,

998
01:25:09,420 --> 01:25:14,680
you're also taking in these students, which is a good thing we want to see. So just go

999
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:18,840
to the process, get your paperwork filled, and we're so happy to have your kids in the district.

1000
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,760
It's just going to take a little time for the enrollment to start from the beginning.

1001
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,740
Yeah. Okay. Well, I want to say thank you to everybody for sticking with us. I know it's a little bit

1002
01:25:28,740 --> 01:25:33,540
later than we're used to, but we're going to get used to it. And one of which everybody,

1003
01:25:33,540 --> 01:25:41,760
We have a happy first day of school and looking forward to a great 2025-26 school year, and I

1004
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:46,100
love the excitement, love all the campus visits, and let's keep it up throughout the

1005
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:46,380
year.

1006
01:25:46,500 --> 01:25:47,060
Thank you everybody.

1007
01:25:47,540 --> 01:25:48,920
We are adjourned at 640.
