You've heard us say many times,

17
00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:46,010

It's homecoming week for North Crowley Panthers, and this year's theme is disco fever.

27
00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:35,810
What did they know about that?

28
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:44,210
Students and staff have enjoyed daily dress of days, and the campus hosted a parade and community peparelli last night.

29
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:51,070
The Panthers face off against summer agreement high school Friday night at the CISC multi-purpose stadium.

30
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:56,570
And the Homecoming Court begins, begins recognizing during the pre-game festivity.

00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:03,590

00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,160
Families help us make attendance a priority.

41
00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:53,420

00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:54,120

86
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,960
designation distinctions by the Texas Education Agency for outstanding performance.

87
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,200
Distinctions, designations, there's seven that can be earned.

88
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,360
They are an academic achievement.

89
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,700
You can see that in reading language arts, in mathematics, in science, and in social studies.

90
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,840
Now, the social studies can be earned at the middle school and the high school level.

91
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:34,020
And there's top 25% of academic growth, which means upon a comparison group,

92
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,420
campuses are growing students academically over a year to year.

93
00:08:38,420 --> 00:08:45,340
Another designation is in the top 25 percentile of their comparison group in closing the gaps,

94
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:52,240
which measures comparison performance on different student groups, various student groups,

95
00:08:52,400 --> 00:09:00,060
and also a designation distinction for post-secondary readiness that really measures the highest level

96
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:05,960
of learning for our students, particularly at that meets performance and college readiness

97
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,620
indicators.

98
00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:10,660
Our high schools and middle schools have an opportunity to earn seven distinctions,

99
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,420
our elementary with six, elementary does not have social studies.

100
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:24,900
So these are the overall designation distinctions that can be earned given out by the Texas Education Agency on outstanding performance.

101
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:31,580
Here in Crowley ISC, we are excited and thrilled to celebrate with you.

102
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:37,240

and post-secondary readiness.

128
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,780
Again, one big celebration being recognized

129
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,460
by the Texas Education Agency and these designations

130
00:12:51,460 --> 00:12:52,900
is not an easy feat.

131
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:54,840
It is for outstanding performance.

132
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,820
And these campuses up on above and beyond

133
00:12:57,820 --> 00:13:01,620
and students are excelling, it's that excellence in education.

134
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,580
One more time for our campuses and our decisions for the 26th start of the fun.

135
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:14,040
Thank you so much Dr. Rowe, campus administrators and educators.

136
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,160
We are so excited to celebrate you all tonight.

137
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,900
You see the banners that are here on the day of tonight will be delivering those to your campuses tomorrow.

138
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:23,260
For you to display proudly there in your front office.

139
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,540
I know our trustees would love to share words.

140
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,240
They'd love to shake hands and we'd like to take a big group picture.

141
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,120
since there are so many people, I think we may reverse it a little.

142
00:13:32,260 --> 00:13:37,860
And so trustees, after you share your comments, if you would like to come down and shake hands with our administrators,

143
00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:41,140
and then we'll turn around and we'll take a big family picture.

144
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,620
How about that, President Robinson?

145
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:52,330
I am so elated and proud of you for all the hard work that occurred last year and that you do throughout.

146
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:54,170
Thank you for pouring into our students.

147
00:13:54,770 --> 00:14:03,090
This work is a testimony to your leadership and the instructional leadership that you provide on your campuses.

148
00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:04,390
So thank you once again.

149
00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:08,730
I will open it up to the incumbents for our trustee.

150
00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:12,190
Trustee Darrell Davis.

151
00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:13,270
Thank you Madam President.

152
00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:18,750
I will keep this very short and just say documentation beats conversation.

153
00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:22,890
There are a lot of people that have things to say about

154
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:27,890
about what is happening in our district, but this puts all of those conversations to

155
00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:28,110
rest.

156
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:32,610
So thank you all so much for the work that you do, and congratulations on your distinctions.

157
00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:33,350
The

158
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,740
other comment?

159
00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:41,580
Trustee Wistomato?

160
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,480
I'll just echo my colleagues on the day.

161
00:14:46,660 --> 00:14:49,320
Thank you all so much for all the hard work.

162
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:52,320
I know it's not easy.

163
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:59,960
I know it's tough long days evenings parent calls and meetings for students and over and over again

164
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
And you just do it daily, daily, daily, so we just want to say thank you and this is just evidence of all of the dedication that you have. And one thing I'll ask of you tonight, when you go tomorrow, tomorrow is a regular day, right? When you see the students, let them know that we greatly appreciate them also for their hard work and for them to go to their parents and say, you know, those school board members said thank you.

165
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:37,760
Thank you for believing in us and helping us and assisting us and making us go to school and do all the things.

166
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,940
So thank you, but then share that thanks with the students and their parents as well.

167
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:56,880
I just want to say I am so proud of you guys and I hope that you are proud of yourselves too.

168
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,220
Um, it's one thing to be humble, but like trustee Darrell Davis said when the streets

169
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:09,980
been talking, and you guys came out and you made a difference and it is hard work and

170
00:16:09,980 --> 00:16:16,000
it is long days and sometimes it does feel like a thankless job, but we appreciate you.

171
00:16:16,140 --> 00:16:21,760
We honor you and we are so proud of you and happy to have each and every one of you a part

172
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,520
of our school team.

173
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,640
Thank you.

174
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,320
If you

175
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,960
guys look like excellence on display, thank you so much for all that you do.

176
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:39,700
I get excited when we have these things that come before us to let us know how our children

177
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:40,180
are doing.

178
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:45,720
That lets me know that I am so extremely proud of the district that we serve in, and

179
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,800
I am extremely proud of each of you.

180
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:52,240
And I just hope and pray that we continue with this phase and I know we will.

181
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,640
But thank you so much for everything that you do.

182
00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:56,280
We greatly appreciate it.

183
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,040
And I greatly appreciate it.

184
00:16:58,140 --> 00:16:58,940
Thank you so much.

185
00:16:59,260 --> 00:16:59,540
You

186
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:03,660
make Farland?

187
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,980
Thank you, Madam President.

188
00:17:06,260 --> 00:17:10,920
Just one thing I'd like to say to my colleagues and co-workers,

189
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,780
you all have done amazing work.

190
00:17:12,940 --> 00:17:14,340
It's obvious you know that.

191
00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:15,760
We know that because we see it every day.

192
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,780
But it's really good when the results show the effort that you make.

193
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,420
So hopefully you feel proud about that.

194
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:25,840
You know, the research is real clear when it talks about our student learning.

195
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:33,120
So the number one fact in whether a student learns or not is a teacher, but the number one factor in whether a campus

196
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:38,940
performs or not is the principal and the leader. So you all should be proud of the work you've been an

197
00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:40,960
influential proud as they come

198
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:49,110
down and shake your hands.

199
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:59,470
.

200
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:01,750
.

201
00:19:01,750 --> 00:19:01,770
.

202
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:25,990
And we're going to do this to all of you.

203
00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:56,330
We're going to bring it up here.

204
00:20:56,550 --> 00:20:57,370
We'll talk to you later.

205
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:01,390
I would really like to get in there.

206
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:09,530
I would like to get in there.

207
00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:14,150
We're going to bring all of them.

208
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,410
We're going to bring all of them up.

209
00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:17,730
We're going to bring all of them up.

210
00:21:17,890 --> 00:21:18,450
Let's see.

211
00:21:21,210 --> 00:21:22,130
Let's see.

212
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:25,970
We'll see.

213
00:22:01,030 --> 00:22:04,150
So this side's doing really good.

214
00:22:08,650 --> 00:22:10,310
That's hilarious.

215
00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:20,870
Can you see the phone?

216
00:22:21,650 --> 00:22:21,770
Can you see the phone?

217
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:22,630
Two.

218
00:22:22,890 --> 00:22:22,990

219
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:24,790
Right now it breaks.

220
00:22:25,170 --> 00:22:27,310
Several stops right here for the first two.

221
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:37,300
All right.

00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:38,360

00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,520
You know that!

224
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,000
Congratulations.

225

226
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,240

Madam President, our first speaker is Saeeda Gokis Saeed.

254
00:25:46,110 --> 00:25:50,930
Good evening, Dr. Robinson and Dr. McFarlane and trustees.

255
00:25:51,390 --> 00:25:55,150
I'm Saeeda Saeeda, and my address is 6705 Sapphire Circle

256
00:25:55,150 --> 00:25:57,490
North, Collivan, Texas, 76034.

257
00:25:58,210 --> 00:25:59,570
Well, it's not the first time.

258
00:25:59,570 --> 00:26:09,310
It's almost three years that I'm coming to this board attending the meeting and address

259
00:26:09,310 --> 00:26:10,730
always about that.

260
00:26:11,290 --> 00:26:16,990
So this time I am one of the candidate for Toronto Prison District Board of Directors

261
00:26:16,990 --> 00:26:22,830
Place 1 and it's a four-way race and my name is very end of the ballot.

262
00:26:22,970 --> 00:26:28,090
A rep or I said, hey, go to the ballot, it's a very end if it's difficult to pronounce vote

263
00:26:28,090 --> 00:26:28,490
for me.

264
00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:30,810
don't talk for you about pronouncing it any way.

265
00:26:31,910 --> 00:26:33,630
By profession, I'm a mechanical engineer.

266
00:26:35,210 --> 00:26:37,750
I'm a former appraisal review board member.

267
00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:39,950
I was there during COVID time.

268
00:26:40,190 --> 00:26:43,450
I was one of the whistleblower back in 2020, in 2021,

269
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:45,550
when they're throwing evidence in the trash,

270
00:26:47,050 --> 00:26:52,690
not being attention, what proper decks pairs are saying

271
00:26:52,690 --> 00:26:55,110
during the hearing.

272
00:26:55,110 --> 00:27:01,410
I was on planning zoning and different commissions for my city for over 10 years.

273
00:27:02,290 --> 00:27:05,890
Since 2024, I have attended all the tags closed door meeting.

274
00:27:06,090 --> 00:27:07,590
I'm not talking about the regular meeting.

275
00:27:08,050 --> 00:27:13,870
The entities closed door meeting, I have attended each and every meeting in person regardless of the weather.

276
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:20,750
And continuously updating all the entities, what's going on at that.

277
00:27:22,110 --> 00:27:31,390
back in 2025 they have over, they send notices to 22,000 property owners, the wrong notice,

278
00:27:31,630 --> 00:27:37,990
I notified about that and the board has no clue about that, about that information. In

279
00:27:39,610 --> 00:27:45,550
2024, the appointment process, they gave extra 200 votes to Tran County College and I was the one

280
00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:52,130
who speak up and bring it in attention to the board, hey, you did something wrong, whoever

281
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:59,810
make a mistake, you need to correct it. Since 2024, I'm very, very actively involved with that,

282
00:28:00,230 --> 00:28:06,490
and before that, I am involved with that since 2018 when I was appointed on ARB, and my priorities

283
00:28:06,490 --> 00:28:12,490
would be uniform and equal appraisal every year, bring all the taxable property on your tax roll,

284
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:19,230
and you will be surprised. Oh, once you see that, audit of your tax role every three years

285
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:27,450
and independent ARB because this time a prison district resolved the protest 98% by themselves

286
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:34,810
and it was happened very, very first time in the state of Texas that a prison district bypassed

287
00:28:34,810 --> 00:28:40,010
the ARB process and resolved 98% of protest by themselves. This is the problem. So a prison

288
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:47,660
district has to follow the property tax code and a lot of, I would say a lot of sections

289
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:55,980
in property tax code that they are not following in the way that they do not have any policy

290
00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:56,480
and procedure.

291
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,900
But thank you for your time.

292
00:28:58,180 --> 00:29:00,120
Vote for Sayyada Sayyada in November about it.

293
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:02,540
Thank you.

294
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,440
Our next speaker, Amvika Sharma.

295
00:29:26,850 --> 00:29:26,970
Hello.

296
00:29:27,210 --> 00:29:27,630
Hi, CC.

297
00:29:28,090 --> 00:29:28,950
Good to see you in action.

298
00:29:29,690 --> 00:29:30,970
My name is Amvika Sharma.

299
00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:37,770
I am a resident of Crowley ISD, live in Fort Worth, and I'm here to talk about the tax rate

300
00:29:37,770 --> 00:29:44,870
that you're proposing, or rather you're voting today. It's 6.5. I noticed that the voter

301
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:57,230
approval tax rate is 1.342585. Your net, no new revenue rate is less than that, which is 1.29223.

302
00:29:57,230 --> 00:29:59,970
and the rate that you're

303
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,320
We're voting on tonight is even less than that, which is 1.2552. If I'm mistaken, open to learning. But I'm confused why you guys are considering a tax rate of 1.2552, which is less than your net new revenue rate. To me, net new revenue rate is how much you need to do your basic operations. So by voting on a tax rate, which is less than your net new revenue rate.

304
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,480
it like logically, I would think of that as you don't have enough money to run your operations

305
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:40,360
for the next school year. So A, the question is, is that true? Is my conclusion here correct

306
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:47,340
that by voting on a lower tax rate than the net new revenue rate, you are further going into a deficit?

307
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:56,780
Second, June 2026, your projected taxable base was $12.1 billion. That's what you voted on.

308
00:30:56,780 --> 00:31:04,460
July, 2026, Taren depraisal district. They sent you a certified taxable base of $10.98 billion.

309
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,460
That is a difference of $1.1 billion or specifically $9.1% less than what you projected.

310
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,640
So I also want to then question your projection models. How are you forecasting your taxable base?

311
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,600
Because that is a significant difference of, you know, $9.1%.

312
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:30,740
So that was question B. Going then to question C is, I also understand that you are withdrawing

313
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:36,440
6.3 billion from your reserves. That is your deficit, 6.3 billion dollars. It represents

314
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,660
3% of your general expenditure.

315
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,120
That's your deficit, 3%. So the question is, are we going

316
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,340
to continue withdrawing from the reserves and where are the reserves currently? Your 3% deficit

317
00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:57,660
ratio is the third largest in the county. Now that goes into by 35 seconds of what I passed

318
00:31:57,660 --> 00:32:03,000
around, how do we even get here? So the lady in front of me and she spoke about Tarantopraisal

319
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,120
District. There are two variables that goes into property taxes. One are your appraisal district,

320
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:13,800
like what is your appraisal value of your house? Second is a tax rate. Appraisals were frozen for the

321
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:19,300
last two years, and then people continue to protest as well. And that has, therefore, led to a

322
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:25,040
significant shortfall, which is the $1.1 billion you projected, $12 billion taxable base,

323
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,620
but instead you can only catch $11 billion.

324
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:32,440
So then my question there, my question there is please comment on the reserves.

325
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,080
Thank you.

326
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Thank you.

327
00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:54,470
Thank you.

328
00:32:54,850 --> 00:33:04,370
This will bring us to Agenda Item 5.1, our report item, review of preliminary results from

329
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:12,110
the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas First, and Mr. Fisher will present this item.

330
00:33:16,770 --> 00:33:20,750
Good evening, Madam Board President, distinguished members of the Board, Dr. McFarlane.

331
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:32,350
I am excited to present the preliminary financial integrity rating system of Texas ratings for 2025-26.

332
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:39,040
Board and the Finance Department, we talk about acting like a family.

333
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,720
working like a team. We are the embodiment of that.

334
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:49,800
And, boy, I really appreciate the external validation from TEA,

335
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,060
our school this year. But I promise you, we work just as hard

336
00:33:54,580 --> 00:33:59,880
when we get a beat. We work hard. We have 12 people that are dedicated

337
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:03,200
to working for this organization and undergirding

338
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,540
the success that you just saw, the academic success. That is our goal.

339
00:34:07,540 --> 00:34:08,360
So,

340
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:19,440
next slide, please, so, so, board, what you see here is our previous ratings over

341
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:25,340
the past three years, and board, I just want to, I want to preface my comments by saying

342
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:29,760
we have about three or four goals in our finance department.

343
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:36,440
The first goal every year is we want to have a clean audit, unmodified opinion, right?

344
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,320
But the next goal is we want to do well on our first rating.

345
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:47,640
The next goal is we want to make sure that we are providing excellent customer service

346
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,180
to all of our customers, our teammates.

347
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,540
And the last goal is we want to make sure that the resources are aligned to achieve the

348
00:34:55,540 --> 00:34:57,740
district's objectives, their academic objectives.

349
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,500
And so, man, this external validation is good.

350
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:07,540
You'll see board that we increased our score by 10 points this year, which is phenomenal.

351
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,420
But again, we work just as hard when we score a beat.

352
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,760
I want you to know that.

353
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:17,200
And so board, as we move forward, Jay, we want to just talk about what is the financial

354
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,840
integrity rating system of Texas?

355
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,220
We'll talk more about this.

356
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:24,120
These preliminary ratings came out August 7th, I believe it was.

357
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,760
And the final calculation will be completed in November.

358
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,900
So we'll talk about this in a public hearing,

359
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,260
November, maybe December or January.

360
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,120
But what I just want to do is run through this briefly

361
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,180
to let everybody know that's listening

362
00:35:41,180 --> 00:35:43,840
what the financial integrity rating system is

363
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,000
and why it's so important.

364
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,940
The financial integrity rating system of Texas

365
00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:50,040
really is the cousin, if you will,

366
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,680
to the taper report, the academic performance report.

367
00:35:53,060 --> 00:35:54,800
It expands on public education,

368
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,020
accountability systems, or financial accountability systems.

369
00:35:58,020 --> 00:36:04,840
We want to make sure we're providing transparency for public finance, encouraging meaningful financial oversight.

370
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,160
And there are about 21 criteria that are evaluated every three years.

371
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,980
And these ratings are really applicable to the financial statements of the previous year.

372
00:36:20,570 --> 00:36:27,470
2026, I'm reading again, is based on the 2024-25 financials, I talked about the number

373
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:37,210
of indicators, we achieved a superior achievement for 2025-26, the metrics actually measure three

374
00:36:37,210 --> 00:36:44,750
distinct areas, right? Compliance, solvency, how we're able to handle our long-term obligations

375
00:36:44,750 --> 00:36:49,790
and liquidity, how we able to financially handle our short-term obligations.

376
00:36:53,130 --> 00:36:58,290
And so the superior achievement scores range from 90 through 100 points.

377
00:36:58,670 --> 00:37:09,330
We scored a 94 this particular time and the B above standard is 80 through 89 to C is 70

378
00:37:09,330 --> 00:37:10,210
through 79.

379
00:37:13,420 --> 00:37:17,900
And so what I will do is I won't go through every indicator.

380
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:24,860
But board what I'll do is I'll show you the indicators that we actually improved the bar and they are represented by a green

381
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:32,360
Heading on the indicator number so if you could fast forward to those slides. Okay, indicator number seven

382
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:40,560
Was the number of days of cash on hand and current investments and the general fund for the school district to cover operating expenditures

383
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,480
Right, we scored eight out of ten points

384
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:53,300
because we had 80.23 days, 90 would have given us the full 10 points, but last year we scored 6 out of 10.

385
00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:02,100
This indicator, we'll go back to that. This indicator measures how many days, if you will, after the fiscal year end,

386
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,120
because the district have gone without any new disbursements in their operating funds.

387
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,380
All right?

388
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:17,310
Indicator number 10, we take great pride in this because what we do is we know

389
00:38:17,310 --> 00:38:24,810
that as may have been indicated earlier, when we get these certified values, they come

390
00:38:24,810 --> 00:38:29,310
back to us in the final certified value, I should say, we get the preliminary values and

391
00:38:29,310 --> 00:38:34,050
the final certified values are much different than what the certified values have been.

392
00:38:34,050 --> 00:38:36,530
other preliminary values had been.

393
00:38:37,310 --> 00:38:43,590
And so an indicator number 10, did the school district average less than a 10% variance

394
00:38:43,590 --> 00:38:48,990
when comparing budgeted revenues to actual revenues for the past three years?

395
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:54,030
This is a significant indicator because it really says how accurate were you with your

396
00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:56,530
revenue projections? 10 out of 10.

397
00:38:57,130 --> 00:39:01,910
We gained two points here because they eliminated indicator number 13.

398
00:39:03,310 --> 00:39:12,290
The next indicator was number 11 was the ratio of long-term liabilities to total assets

399
00:39:12,290 --> 00:39:16,270
of the district sufficient to support long-term solitude.

400
00:39:17,210 --> 00:39:21,150
This measure has actually two ways to be measured, right?

401
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:26,750
And one of them is the changing membership, it's a changing membership chip greater than

402
00:39:28,330 --> 00:39:32,590
7%, or a thousand students in membership.

403
00:39:32,830 --> 00:39:34,770
We got 10 out of 10 points because guess what?

404
00:39:35,650 --> 00:39:36,890
Our district is growing.

405
00:39:37,710 --> 00:39:42,830
Our students increase over this period by 1,259 students.

406
00:39:44,270 --> 00:39:44,470
Awesome.

407
00:39:46,370 --> 00:39:48,810
The next indicator, I believe there's one more doing.

408
00:39:49,390 --> 00:39:53,710
And it may just be indicated 13, which wasn't evaluated this year.

409
00:39:54,170 --> 00:39:56,270
Yes, indicated 13, which is the administrative

410
00:39:56,270 --> 00:40:00,690
of cost ratio and it was not evaluated this year.

411
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:12,270
So Board, just to give you context, context, you'll see the ratings of our district from 2021 through

412
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:19,450
2026. And that concludes my presentation tonight. If there are any questions board, I'd like to

413
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:23,570
entertain those questions now. Thank you. Are there any comments or questions for Mr. Bishop?

414
00:40:23,570 --> 00:40:24,530
Thank

415
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:31,120
you for sharing the first report with us.

416
00:40:35,570 --> 00:40:41,210
That brings us to agenda item six, our consent agenda.

417
00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:46,750
Trustees, are there any items that you would like to have removed from the consent agenda?

418
00:40:48,290 --> 00:40:50,090
If not, is there a motion?

419
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,300
I recommend approval of the consent agenda as presented.

420
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,220
Trustee June Davis made a motion to approve this consent agenda, is there a second?

421
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,560
Trustee Darrell Davis seconded any discussion?

422
00:41:14,220 --> 00:41:16,140
Hearing none, move to vote, the

423
00:41:24,270 --> 00:41:26,950
vote passes, motion passes.

424
00:41:27,870 --> 00:41:27,970
Okay?

425
00:41:28,590 --> 00:41:34,030
That brings us to agenda item 7, future action items.

426
00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:38,430
Senate Bill 12, annual certification of compliance with certain laws.

427
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:40,350
Mr. Kirchner will present this feature.

428
00:41:41,050 --> 00:41:43,950
Thank you, Madam President, members of the Board and document Farland.

429
00:41:44,810 --> 00:41:47,150
To let you all know about this future action item and

430
00:41:47,150 --> 00:41:54,930
an alignment with Senate Bill 12, Ms. Ruby Batisse and members of the Policy Review Committee have been working on this diligently.

431
00:41:55,310 --> 00:42:03,470
You'll see there in your board book the memo from the Texas Education Agency Commissioner regarding the requirements to come in Senate Bill 12.

432
00:42:03,470 --> 00:42:08,530
Several of these requirements must be completed by the end of September, and so we'll continue

433
00:42:08,530 --> 00:42:09,410
to provide information.

434
00:42:09,570 --> 00:42:12,510
There's a training opportunity for trustees to complete online.

435
00:42:12,910 --> 00:42:16,550
We'll continue to provide that link for you all as well to make sure that Crowley ISD is

436
00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:17,110
in compliance.

437
00:42:17,790 --> 00:42:20,070
All the requirements are there in your boardbook.

438
00:42:20,090 --> 00:42:22,970
If you have any questions, our team is here tonight to answer those for you.

439
00:42:24,290 --> 00:42:24,970
Thank you.

440
00:42:25,290 --> 00:42:27,650
Are there any questions regarding this future action item?

441
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,420
This is

442
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,460
regarding the training, the rental rights training.

443
00:42:44,190 --> 00:42:51,170
Yes, this is, there's a part of it that's a Senate bill toilet that deals with the parental rights training, but there's some other components as well.

444
00:42:53,610 --> 00:42:57,270
If you've completed that electronically and given that to Montavo, then that's all you.

445
00:42:59,870 --> 00:43:04,370
And then at the September regular board meeting, we'll take action on these other requirements.

446
00:43:04,990 --> 00:43:08,950
But you all, if you've done your training, you're part is complete, thank you.

447
00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:11,710
Thank you, Mr. Kirchner.

448
00:43:11,870 --> 00:43:12,110
Thank you.

449
00:43:13,110 --> 00:43:21,050
We will not have executive session, so we will go into a brief recess and proceed with

450
00:43:21,050 --> 00:43:23,530
our study session at 6.50.

451
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:40,660
We are back from recess at 6.57 and we are at Agenda Item 9, our study session, Revision

452
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:44,400
of Crowley ISD board goals and Dr. Milner will present this item.

453
00:43:45,420 --> 00:43:50,140
Good evening, board president Robinson and steam board members, Dr. McFarlane.

454
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:58,440
We will be looking at some data for Crowley ISD in preparation for the process of revision of

455
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,700
board goals tonight. And so tonight we want to take you through a work session that kind of mirrors a

456
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:08,340
work session that we've done with our executive leadership team over the course of the past few weeks.

457
00:44:08,340 --> 00:44:13,620
And we're going to look based on some of the conversation that we had previously regarding

458
00:44:13,620 --> 00:44:18,300
student accountability data and look at our student accountability data for the district

459
00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:23,500
through the lens of feeder patterns in response to some questions that we received from the

460
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:29,740
board regarding which side of the district or which feeder pattern was struggling or having

461
00:44:29,740 --> 00:44:30,340
better success.

462
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,900
So we did go back and look at the data in that way and that's the way that we are going

463
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:34,780
to look at it tonight.

464
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:41,740
So, by the end of the session, we're going to, first of all, review some new items or

465
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:47,080
revisited items with Crowley ISD leadership called the Standards of Excellence, which

466
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,080
is providing a leadership framework, guiding the district's expectations for accountability

467
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,360
and continuous improvement.

468
00:44:52,980 --> 00:44:58,340
We're also going to take some time examining campus SWOT or Strength, Weakness, Opportunity

469
00:44:58,340 --> 00:44:59,660
the in-thread mouth.

470
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:26,500
On to look at that information to identify district-wide strengths, challenges, and emerging areas for strategic intervention here in the district. And the goal of all of this activity is for the board to gain visibility into the district system for differentiating, coordinating, and documenting central offices support to our campuses in our effort to improve a year over year with our student accountability ratings and ultimately our student outcomes.

471
00:45:28,690 --> 00:45:31,330
And so this first graphic, if you look in the

472
00:45:31,330 --> 00:45:36,610
folder that you have. You do have a copy of this graphic on one side. You see what we

473
00:45:36,610 --> 00:45:43,530
call the Crowley North Star House, and that's where we'll start. This summer, we started

474
00:45:43,530 --> 00:45:51,510
to think about framework for moving forward and improving our district in new ways.

475
00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:56,750
We talked about something that has existed in Crowley I see for quite some time, the price

476
00:45:56,750 --> 00:46:02,790
of admission that talked about who we aspire to be as leaders in Crowley ISD.

477
00:46:03,450 --> 00:46:07,230
And so when we revisited the price of admission, we talked about some of the things that have

478
00:46:07,230 --> 00:46:07,590
changed.

479
00:46:07,870 --> 00:46:12,190
The price of admission was originally established prior to COVID and some years ago in the

480
00:46:12,190 --> 00:46:12,530
district.

481
00:46:13,050 --> 00:46:18,550
So we thought about what has changed since then and how the price of admission, meaning

482
00:46:18,550 --> 00:46:23,410
how you become a part and stay a part of this team, should change an upgrade in response

483
00:46:23,410 --> 00:46:27,050
to some of the changes that have happened since we originally established the price of

484
00:46:27,050 --> 00:46:32,750
emission. And we arrived at the seven standards of excellence, which are at the bottom level

485
00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:37,750
of this house. It's the foundation of the house. And it really describes for Crowley ISD

486
00:46:37,750 --> 00:46:43,950
leaders who we are and who we aspire to be at our highest levels. And so those seven

487
00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:48,350
standards of excellence then feed into the next level of the house, which are the seven

488
00:46:48,350 --> 00:46:49,670
and elements of excellence.

489
00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:52,610
And those are the things that we do.

490
00:46:53,170 --> 00:46:55,470
So seven standards are who we are,

491
00:46:56,090 --> 00:46:58,130
those shared beliefs and ideals that we have

492
00:46:58,130 --> 00:47:00,570
about who we want to be, the seven elements

493
00:47:00,570 --> 00:47:04,630
are what we do, and then above that

494
00:47:04,630 --> 00:47:08,370
are the seven systems of sustainable success

495
00:47:08,370 --> 00:47:13,090
which are that describe how we do the things that we do.

496
00:47:13,450 --> 00:47:15,050
And of course, all of those things

497
00:47:15,050 --> 00:47:17,250
build to the top level of that house,

498
00:47:17,250 --> 00:47:22,590
the rooftop, the North Star GO, which is of course our guiding ambition to have all of

499
00:47:22,590 --> 00:47:29,870
our students achieve an A or B rating and to create a lasting legacy and a system of

500
00:47:29,870 --> 00:47:37,030
great schools across Crowley ISD that would allow our students to receive a top level,

501
00:47:37,290 --> 00:47:43,530
global level education at whatever Crowley ISD campus they attend.

502
00:47:43,530 --> 00:47:46,090
and so that is our north star goal.

503
00:47:46,550 --> 00:47:48,670
If you flip over on the other side,

504
00:47:49,870 --> 00:47:52,130
we're gonna spend time talking tonight

505
00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:54,230
about specifically the seven standards

506
00:47:54,230 --> 00:47:56,130
of excellence, that foundational piece.

507
00:47:56,690 --> 00:47:59,810
And so I'm not going to read all of these definitions to you.

508
00:47:59,870 --> 00:48:01,170
We're gonna give you a little bit of time

509
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:04,610
to look at them, but they are courtesy dignity,

510
00:48:04,830 --> 00:48:06,730
respect and professionalism, integrity,

511
00:48:07,470 --> 00:48:09,450
ownership of outcomes, collaboration

512
00:48:09,450 --> 00:48:12,590
with effective communication, solution driven,

513
00:48:12,590 --> 00:48:18,690
result-driven and future focus. That is who we aspire to be and who we are as

514
00:48:18,690 --> 00:48:23,690
Crowley ISD. And those are not listed in any particular order, but what we're

515
00:48:23,690 --> 00:48:26,950
going to ask you to do for about the next five minutes is just to spend some

516
00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:30,510
time looking at these seven standards available at excellence reading through

517
00:48:30,510 --> 00:48:35,290
those definitions. And then what we'd like for you to do is to write them in

518
00:48:35,290 --> 00:48:40,050
order from number one being what you feel is the most important down to number

519
00:48:40,050 --> 00:48:45,630
seven on your perception of their importance to the work that we're about to do or that we're

520
00:48:45,630 --> 00:48:51,150
doing in Crowley ISD and at the end of this brief time where you'll review and rank then we will

521
00:48:51,150 --> 00:48:56,830
share our rankings. So we'll start and give about five minutes for you to rank the seven standards

522
00:48:56,830 --> 00:48:58,150
and importance to you.

523
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:28,780
Okay so does everybody is everybody ready or anybody need more time?

524
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:32,040
Okay what

525
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,080
What we'd like to do at this time is just have each board member to kind of share your

526
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:42,860
top three and try to give us a general rationale for why you place what you place at the

527
00:53:42,860 --> 00:53:46,380
top for each of the seven standards.

528
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,320
So we have volunteers to start, you want to start from one side and go around the room.

529
00:54:02,390 --> 00:54:04,750
For me, I said number one was integrity.

530
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:13,220
I gave that example because when you start anything, you want to always start on an

531
00:54:13,220 --> 00:54:16,520
and even playing field where you know that what you're doing,

532
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,380
no matter what you're doing, do it with integrity

533
00:54:19,380 --> 00:54:21,820
no matter who's watching and who's, you know,

534
00:54:22,860 --> 00:54:25,060
or who is watching, so everything you do,

535
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,960
make sure you do it with integrity.

536
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:32,860
I did number two as future focus focusing

537
00:54:34,020 --> 00:54:35,340
on the future where you want your,

538
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:37,520
where you want the district to go.

539
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,980
If you don't set goals,

540
00:54:40,980 --> 00:54:49,360
then you know what are you reaching for? Number three I said courtesy and dignity and respect

541
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:58,310
making sure that you respect people on your team so those were my top three. Thank you.

542
00:55:01,970 --> 00:55:09,850
My top my number one was future focused similar to Trustee Stevenson I was thinking of

543
00:55:09,850 --> 00:55:11,530
a backwards design, where do we want to be?

544
00:55:12,210 --> 00:55:15,950
This is where I want to go in the first portion

545
00:55:15,950 --> 00:55:17,450
that says set a bold direction

546
00:55:17,810 --> 00:55:19,350
than what do I need to do to get there.

547
00:55:20,070 --> 00:55:22,850
So the number two was solution driven for me

548
00:55:23,330 --> 00:55:26,570
and that's identifying the solutions that improve systems.

549
00:55:27,830 --> 00:55:31,070
And then the next one was number three

550
00:55:31,070 --> 00:55:33,770
was collaboration with the communication

551
00:55:34,790 --> 00:55:36,510
because I know where I want to be.

552
00:55:36,970 --> 00:55:38,110
These are solutions to get there.

553
00:55:38,110 --> 00:55:40,750
and now how do I communicate that shared vision

554
00:55:40,750 --> 00:55:41,730
for students' success?

555
00:55:42,470 --> 00:55:43,470
It's good, thank you.

556
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,200
And thank you for doing this,

557
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:53,860
and I hope there's no right on.

558
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:54,860
No, there's no right on.

559
00:55:54,860 --> 00:55:55,220
Okay, good.

560
00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:00,160
But all of their, you know, what they shared was really good.

561
00:56:01,340 --> 00:56:03,220
My first one was integrity,

562
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,200
because I think it's foundational.

563
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,640
I think it's the core of everything

564
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,540
and the work that I do, you know, I mean,

565
00:56:11,540 --> 00:56:16,160
It's just that the base like you can't do anything else unless you have that

566
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,860
So I chose that as one then to

567
00:56:21,540 --> 00:56:24,260
Which I honestly did just change

568
00:56:25,460 --> 00:56:29,400
They based on what I heard Steven say because I was I was point

569
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:35,100
But future ready and it's like Steven Covey beginning with the end in mind. So

570
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:40,260
You know, where do you want to see yourself and then work towards that? So

571
00:56:40,260 --> 00:56:47,560
back kind of gave me that idea thinking that for the third one that rounds out

572
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:57,890
hot top three solutions driven just because we get problems all the time. We

573
00:56:57,890 --> 00:57:05,270
hear problems all the time and it's very seldom that we hear solutions that come

574
00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:12,330
with those problems and so as we're thinking of future ready or being you know future focus

575
00:57:13,110 --> 00:57:18,890
also at the same time thinking how we get there. So it's the how and being pollution.

576
00:57:23,140 --> 00:57:30,700
Again thank you for this. So I chose integrity as my number one because I believe that when

577
00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:36,620
you have integrity and you it's easy to do number one which is have courtesy dignity and respect

578
00:57:37,260 --> 00:57:52,520
I chose number three as my number two for ownership of outcomes because I believe that a team works best when we all take responsibility and accountability for what winning end of losing so to speak looks like.

579
00:57:53,200 --> 00:58:00,240
And then I chose solution driven, one of my favorite things that me and my husband always says is us against a problem not us against each other.

580
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:06,280
So, when there is a problem, because problems are going to come, the greatest thing is that

581
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,180
when we can find a way together as a team to get through it.

582
00:58:10,340 --> 00:58:11,920
So, those are my top three.

583
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:13,420
Thank you.

584
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:18,340
Okay.

585
00:58:18,620 --> 00:58:23,860
So, I'm analytical to a fault, so just following me down this train track.

586
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,780
So, I took the seven and grouped them into four categories.

587
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:31,300
Okay.

588
00:58:31,300 --> 00:58:34,640
character in foundational, number one vision, number two,

589
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,080
mindset, number three, and then execution, number four.

590
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,320
So I categorized them based on kind of that flow in my mind.

591
00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:47,080
So my top three, number one was integrity,

592
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:50,500
number two was courtesy dignity, respect, and professionalism.

593
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,680
Both of those were in the character foundational category.

594
00:58:54,860 --> 00:58:58,300
And then my third was future focus

595
00:58:58,300 --> 00:59:00,120
because that was about vision.

596
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,860
And then everything else kind of, but in the mindset or execution.

597
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:04,640
Good, good.

598
00:59:06,020 --> 00:59:06,820
Thank you.

599
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:13,920
Okay, I'll go next.

600
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:16,080
My

601
00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:22,250
number one, of course, is integrity.

602
00:59:23,530 --> 00:59:28,570
Number two is courtesy, dignity, respect, and professionalism.

603
00:59:28,990 --> 00:59:32,190
And number three, collaboration with effective communication.

604
00:59:33,010 --> 00:59:36,730
And I selected those and I put them in that order because for me,

605
00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:43,730
That's the foundation for all of the work that's going to happen.

606
00:59:44,590 --> 00:59:53,850
So having a strong foundation, now we're ready to be on that and bring the other items into play.

607
00:59:55,930 --> 00:59:59,030
Solution driven, results driven, future focus.

608
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,100
But I thought those three from me made for strong foundation.

609
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:32,440
Yes, ma'am. So, as I listened to all of y'all, and I would say a large part of y'all have integrity as number one, and I was towing between that one and the courtesy dignity respect and professionalism. I went with the courtesy dignity respect and

610
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:39,780
professionalism, just because when you walk into a room, I expect to be treated and treat

611
01:00:39,780 --> 01:00:49,660
someone with those four factors. Integrity is, in my opinion, is doing the right thing even

612
01:00:49,660 --> 01:00:56,480
when it's the wrong thing. So that's the reason why I put dignity as number two and then the ownership

613
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:03,080
of the outcome. I think it's obviously it's right up there just because we want to make sure

614
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,220
that everyone is in it for the right reason. So

615
01:01:12,380 --> 01:01:16,220
I also like you, Mr. Grasso, I kind of struggle

616
01:01:16,220 --> 01:01:21,700
with both with integrity and courtesy digging to respect and professionalism. So I selected

617
01:01:21,700 --> 01:01:26,940
excellent I landed on courtesy digging to respect and professionalism being number one, integrity

618
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:31,000
being number two, and then results driven being number four.

619
01:01:31,140 --> 01:01:32,160
So, yeah.

620
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:36,840
Why?

621
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:37,500
Okay.

622
01:01:40,380 --> 01:01:42,700
So, integrity, of course, that's, you know, that was,

623
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:44,220
that was, I was there first.

624
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:49,100
And then, I'm like, you know, even before you get to that,

625
01:01:49,180 --> 01:01:50,720
I want to make sure that I'm high on treaty.

626
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,260
So, integrity is like, high on treaty.

627
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:53,400
I don't know.

628
01:01:53,500 --> 01:01:55,800
I was going back, like, what I'm doing right now is what I was doing right here.

629
01:01:56,620 --> 01:02:00,080
But really, for me, it was really more about, okay, at the end of the day,

630
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,680
I want to make sure I treat you with courtesy, dignity, respect, and professionalism.

631
01:02:03,860 --> 01:02:08,820
Whether you're great or whether you're not or whatever, that's just what I want to at the end of the day.

632
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,440
Dean after that, when you look at integrity, to me, I just kind of saw a reading.

633
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:18,740
It's talking about transparency and honesty, but then ethical responsibility and building trust.

634
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,240
There's a lot to integrity.

635
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,800
Most people think integrity is just right or wrong, and it's a whole lot more than just that.

636
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,900
So I felt like courtesy, dignity, respect, and professionalism, that's what I can do up front.

637
01:02:33,380 --> 01:02:57,620
So again, there is no correct order and they're on this paper just numbered because they're numbered, but they're all elements and shared beliefs that we felt were important regardless of why we prioritized them first or last, but we all agreed that these were important and things that we aspire to and things that we wouldn't be looking for as we considered people to join our team.

638
01:02:58,520 --> 01:02:58,960
Wait.

639
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,700
I don't mean to interrupt.

640
01:03:06,100 --> 01:03:10,640
But I have a question for Trustee Grasya. Integrity is

641
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:17,380
doing the right thing even when it's wrong. It helped me to understand this. Can you give

642
01:03:17,380 --> 01:03:18,960
me an example?

643
01:03:28,230 --> 01:03:32,510
No, no, no, no. And I didn't mean to put you on the spot. But I'm trying

644
01:03:32,510 --> 01:03:44,360
to formulate in my mind integrity means doing the right thing even if it's wrong and I'm just

645
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,600
trying to in my mind process what that looks like.

646
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:00,560
I was going to say maybe someone may consider

647
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:08,400
that's not the appropriate way to do this or that's not what you should do, but maybe he knows like

648
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:15,620
This is what is needed is the right thing even when someone may think that the wrong direction and we should not do it

649
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,260
Standing in your truth and knowing

650
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,300
But most of the things that are wrong is right.

651
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:49,300
I mean, it could be anything, something is top of it,

652
01:04:49,380 --> 01:04:53,400
or something is political, or something that is, I don't know.

653
01:04:53,580 --> 01:04:56,820
I mean, there's a very common thought in the world,

654
01:04:57,100 --> 01:04:57,920
and you know what I'm saying.

655
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,480
So decisions that we make, not everybody's going to agree with it,

656
01:05:04,580 --> 01:05:06,600
so some will think it's the wrong decision.

657
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:14,720
But, okay, and wrong is relative, because they may think it's right, we know it's wrong,

658
01:05:15,500 --> 01:05:21,480
so but I've often heard that integrity as very similar but doing the right thing even

659
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:26,620
when I was looking, because if you ask my children, they could, they, that's what I've

660
01:05:26,620 --> 01:05:31,720
reached to them besides, you know, treating others as you would have them treat you, but,

661
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:39,360
or as you would want to be treated, but that's what I was thinking of integrity is, even if,

662
01:05:39,860 --> 01:05:47,140
but I like that analogy even better as, you know, from a, you know, educational standpoint

663
01:05:47,140 --> 01:05:52,560
or leadership perspective, that example is what I was thinking.

664
01:05:54,540 --> 01:05:55,560
Great question.

665
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:56,900
Good trouble.

666
01:05:59,780 --> 01:06:05,460
And so we wanted to introduce the board to the foundations of what we're framing our

667
01:06:05,460 --> 01:06:07,160
work surrounding first of all.

668
01:06:07,780 --> 01:06:12,020
And so as we move into the rest of the work that we're going to do this evening, we're

669
01:06:12,020 --> 01:06:19,080
really focused on two of these which are the on-ring outcomes because just like we just

670
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:25,140
see it that it is not just each individual campus that created this district score that

671
01:06:25,140 --> 01:06:27,500
that we ended up with, it's all of us collectively

672
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:30,740
in the work that we do together that builds these outcomes.

673
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:33,200
And so every individual has to own their part

674
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,940
in what the outcome is, whether that's good or bad.

675
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,380
Then the other part of that is being solution driven.

676
01:06:39,740 --> 01:06:43,180
So we know that we aspire to perform in a better way

677
01:06:43,180 --> 01:06:46,000
in some instances than we have this past school year.

678
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,600
So what are the deficits that we have right now

679
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,560
and what are the solutions and the system-based solutions

680
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:58,740
that we need to come up with now to get ahead of some of these issues so that we don't

681
01:06:58,740 --> 01:07:01,980
have the same results at the end of the school year that we've had.

682
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:08,940
Back in May, we started a process with the ELT and we started, you know, we did Gapology

683
01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:12,040
last school year where we talked about knowledge, importance, and action gaps.

684
01:07:12,620 --> 01:07:20,800
This year, we've been focused on a new reading, which is upstream and that's solving problems

685
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:26,640
before they occur. So there's this whole video that we watched in the initial meeting where

686
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:32,180
there's a, and the book is called Upstream because it talks about an old parable where children

687
01:07:32,180 --> 01:07:36,920
or people are falling into a river. There's a whole of the breeze. People have fallen to the river

688
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:43,120
and people are rushing to pull them out of the river. And some bright person stopped and say,

689
01:07:43,140 --> 01:07:48,420
wait a minute, maybe we need to go upstream and see how it is that they're falling into the river

690
01:07:48,420 --> 01:07:54,340
and fix the problems so that we quit having to jump in and say people from the river.

691
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,180
And so that's our attitude and our mindset surrounding the work that we're going to do

692
01:07:58,180 --> 01:08:03,560
this year, and so it's ownership of outcomes, but from the beginning, like we said, that

693
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:09,120
future focus and backwards design is important, but being solution driven, what are the problems

694
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:15,200
that occur that cause the problem to persist, and what can we do now to prevent it in the

695
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,500
future rather than constantly spending our wheels and being reactive. We're trying

696
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:24,640
to get more proactive. We've already shared. And so what we're going to spend some time

697
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:30,420
doing now is if you see the posters on the wall, we're going to do a slot gallery walk.

698
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:38,140
And a slot is of course a protocol that we use to look at performance. And so for each

699
01:08:38,140 --> 01:08:43,540
campus, we started with the academic team doing a slot analysis on each campus. So we looked

700
01:08:43,540 --> 01:08:50,160
that the strengths, the weaknesses, the opportunities and threats for each campus as an academic leadership

701
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:55,700
team and then that move to the broader executive leadership team that came in and looked at the

702
01:08:55,700 --> 01:09:01,240
academic triage that we have done in SWAT and added their observations to what happened with

703
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:09,180
campus performance. And so on this side of the room is the North Crowley feeder pattern. And so with

704
01:09:09,180 --> 01:09:15,740
the North Crowley feeder pattern we also added they don't actually have a true feeder because they

705
01:09:15,740 --> 01:09:22,100
serve kids from both sides BRJ and CCA are on the North Crowley side we just added them there

706
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:28,180
for balance because on this side we also have Crowley Montessori Academy which also serves students

707
01:09:28,180 --> 01:09:33,680
from all over and so doesn't have a true feeder so we put them on that side for balance. So North

708
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,660
Crowley side on this side of the room and the Crowley feeder pattern on that side of the room and

709
01:09:38,660 --> 01:09:44,120
And so what you're going to spend the next several minutes doing is doing what the executive

710
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:48,720
leadership team has done and going to review the SWAT analysis.

711
01:09:49,220 --> 01:09:51,240
In your folder you have a note catcher.

712
01:09:51,860 --> 01:09:54,220
And so there's a place for you at the bottom.

713
01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:01,380
This first fold is Crowley for you to do your notices, patterns and trends, wanderings

714
01:10:01,380 --> 01:10:05,200
and opportunities that you see for the Crowley feeder pattern.

715
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:10,720
then there's another space for the North Crowley feeder pattern and those are the two

716
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:19,780
that you'll use while you're up to make notes. Also in your folder are some data flyers

717
01:10:19,780 --> 01:10:25,760
that you have and you see the top one is the North Crowley Elementary feeder pattern.

718
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:32,240
So it's giving you data on their overall performance over the course of the past three years.

719
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:39,120
their domain performance in the A3F accountability system over the past three years, some insights

720
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:46,940
about that. Then down below that is three year trend data for the grade levels and subject

721
01:10:46,940 --> 01:10:54,580
areas for that feeder pattern, some strengths, some gains, some priority areas on the back.

722
01:10:55,360 --> 01:11:02,060
We are focusing specifically on specific demographic groups within our district.

723
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:08,960
So you'll see for the North Crowley Elementary Feeder Pattern, data for our school dependent children,

724
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,700
data for our special education students, and three year trend data for our emerging bilingual students for that pattern.

725
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:22,380
And so the next sheet is the same North Crowley Feeder Pattern for middle schools.

726
01:11:22,380 --> 01:11:28,560
behind that is Crowley Theater Pattern Elementary and Crowley Theater Pattern Middle School Data.

727
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:30,780
So that's just for you to have in your hand.

728
01:11:30,940 --> 01:11:35,200
So as you are walking and looking at a particular campus and what's on the board,

729
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:42,480
you have another set of information that you might look at to have some ah-haws

730
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:47,600
about what's happening at this campus or to generate questions that you might want answered

731
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,660
about what's going on at these campuses.

732
01:11:49,660 --> 01:11:52,540
And so, we're going to go ahead, Dr. Brown.

733
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:53,600
Oh, for a second.

734
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,820
I just like to do a quick check for understanding.

735
01:11:56,120 --> 01:12:03,760
So, if this, let's look at the, uh, first page of the mouth crowd of, of the, uh, elementary theater schools, you'll see, you'll see the very first page.

736
01:12:04,180 --> 01:12:06,800
I just want to make sure you, you clear about what, because there's a lot of information.

737
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:14,740
And so, when you look at the overall accountability summary, anybody have any questions about where those numbers come from?

738
01:12:22,740 --> 01:12:37,880
That's correct. That's right. So that's right. All right. It's just that we took all of those schools. So you won't find this number anywhere else other than here. This is for us. So you can see how kids are performing as a progress from those all those schools going up to the beat of power.

739
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,720
Look down at the number three, which is a three year trend.

740
01:12:42,940 --> 01:12:47,140
So you all know that, of course, students perform at either the approaches of meets or

741
01:12:47,140 --> 01:12:47,560
the masters.

742
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,200
So you also see, this also provides a three year tree.

743
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:57,240
So if you look at fifth grade math, for example, fifth grade math approaches, what do you

744
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,400
all see there as, what is the tree in sense, fifth grade math approach?

745
01:13:03,430 --> 01:13:05,710
That's what that means, it's the client of five percent.

746
01:13:06,350 --> 01:13:07,810
And then again, you can see the others.

747
01:13:08,310 --> 01:13:11,610
And of course, the red helps us identify where we need to focus the amount.

748
01:13:12,330 --> 01:13:13,430
Turn over to the back.

749
01:13:14,430 --> 01:13:18,630
We use the term, and I don't know, trusty walkers, if we've used this term while you've

750
01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:27,370
been on the board, school dependent, that's one, we made that up, that's substitute for

751
01:13:27,370 --> 01:13:28,070
economic disadvantage.

752
01:13:28,450 --> 01:13:32,190
You're going to turn it into a positive, so when we say school dependent, these are students

753
01:13:32,190 --> 01:13:34,050
who are considered economic disadvantage.

754
01:13:34,730 --> 01:13:40,290
And our overall economic disadvantage population increased from about 68% a couple years ago

755
01:13:40,290 --> 01:13:44,510
It's about 78, almost 80 percent now, so that's a significant knowledge world.

756
01:13:44,950 --> 01:13:49,890
Well, that is that just that group of students within this few parents, that shows you kind

757
01:13:49,890 --> 01:13:50,490
of where they are.

758
01:13:50,990 --> 01:13:56,010
And then again, especially it, an emergent bilingual is, of course, part of our legal board.

759
01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:58,400
Yes.

760
01:14:00,890 --> 01:14:07,190
I understand this for those who'll depend on that special ed emergent bilingual.

761
01:14:07,190 --> 01:14:21,210
were there any other major factors that could be grouped just as a factor for where we are besides these three?

762
01:14:21,430 --> 01:14:28,330
Why we've identified these three is for state accountability, they are considered a high focus group.

763
01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:34,570
The state does a consolidation of these three groups together in the accountability rating,

764
01:14:34,570 --> 01:14:40,030
but we've decided to break them out and live with them as individual demographic groups

765
01:14:40,030 --> 01:14:45,590
because what happens if you have one group that's performing well and another that's struggled

766
01:14:45,590 --> 01:14:51,430
when they're all consolidated, it masks poor performance with a specific group of students.

767
01:14:51,870 --> 01:14:58,230
So we want to make sure that we are setting goals and putting strategies and systems in place

768
01:14:58,230 --> 01:14:58,810
This is the point.

769
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:09,580
Individual groups, not only for the growth of state accountability, but there's also federal accountability, which still has them broken out as individual demographic groups.

770
01:15:28,510 --> 01:15:45,330
That is a significant factor. They are, there are, there's a group of students that is also known as highly mobile. There's also a demographic group in state accountability that's called continuously enrolled.

771
01:15:45,330 --> 01:15:50,790
continuously enrolled are students who have been with us for three consecutive school years.

772
01:15:51,370 --> 01:15:55,110
So there is tracking and monitoring of all of those things.

773
01:15:55,730 --> 01:16:03,350
We have elevated these three areas because they are areas where we see decline or deficit

774
01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:10,590
that needs requires our specific focus attention, but as you visit the SWOT analysis for each

775
01:16:10,590 --> 01:16:16,530
campus there might be other groups that have been identified or notices on there because

776
01:16:17,950 --> 01:16:23,710
each campus is evaluated on this high focus area but they also are evaluated on their

777
01:16:23,710 --> 01:16:28,570
two lowest performing demographic groups and so you might notice on some of the squats

778
01:16:28,570 --> 01:16:35,370
where we are flagging for a campus that your two lowest have changed year over year because

779
01:16:35,370 --> 01:16:41,610
because that will impact your performance if you're not aware that the state was monitoring

780
01:16:41,610 --> 01:16:44,470
last year are different than what they're monitoring this year.

781
01:16:47,820 --> 01:16:50,880
One quick question about the SWAT analysis.

782
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,520
When were they conducted?

783
01:16:53,260 --> 01:16:55,920
They've been happening over the course of the past month.

784
01:16:56,440 --> 01:17:00,940
So it started, like I said, with the instructional leadership team in our, what we call team

785
01:17:00,940 --> 01:17:05,800
excellence meeting, and then it came to executive leadership team last week.

786
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:11,620
we had our first ELT meeting last Friday and so these were added to by the

787
01:17:11,620 --> 01:17:18,100
Executive Leadership Team on Friday. Okay so in looking at data from last year's

788
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:25,340
performance but we're doing current SWOT analysis do we foresee there being any

789
01:17:25,340 --> 01:17:29,440
major variables that would say well what we're identifying today as a

790
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:35,380
that didn't necessarily apply to last year or a threat that was, that's there.

791
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,100
Now, I'm just trying to make sure I don't worry about my brain.

792
01:17:38,440 --> 01:17:43,160
So if you're looking at the color coding on these maps, we have triage.

793
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:49,080
So we've determined level of need of campus based on current performance.

794
01:17:49,660 --> 01:17:52,520
But the SWAT analysis is to look at those groups,

795
01:17:52,660 --> 01:17:57,300
regardless of current level of performance for specifically what you're talking about.

796
01:17:57,300 --> 01:18:00,940
opportunities and threats because we recognize staffing has changed.

797
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,420
You'll see on many of the swats that leadership has changed in some of the buildings.

798
01:18:06,020 --> 01:18:13,100
There were differing levels of staffing like teachers in residents or

799
01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:14,980
teachers that are uncertified in classrooms.

800
01:18:15,140 --> 01:18:16,920
That level has changed year over year.

801
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:22,820
The percentage of teachers recognize as teacher incentive allotment teachers in a building

802
01:18:22,820 --> 01:18:23,820
have changed over year.

803
01:18:23,820 --> 01:18:32,780
We also have the addition this year with some of our under performing campuses of ad Z days and additional TIA teachers on those campus for ad Z.

804
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:46,920
So we triage them based on their most recent performance, but the SWOT is done on what's happening in that building right now that we need to be aware of so that we can mitigate any threats that are coming.

805
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:48,840
Thank you. All I need to know.

806
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:53,380
as a follow-up to that so that I'm sure I understand.

807
01:18:53,980 --> 01:18:59,460
So as we're walking around and we're going to have this,

808
01:19:01,540 --> 01:19:07,440
and we look at the analysis up there,

809
01:19:07,860 --> 01:19:14,040
is it fair to say that if I look on here

810
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:24,580
and let's just say third grade math had a decrease.

811
01:19:25,780 --> 01:19:30,820
Should I see something up there addressing

812
01:19:30,820 --> 01:19:33,420
that third grade math deficit?

813
01:19:34,300 --> 01:19:36,500
It might say specifically third grade math.

814
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,920
If it's a campus where math was a primary area focus

815
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:46,180
focus for all grade level it might just say math in totality or it might say

816
01:19:46,180 --> 01:19:54,240
math specifically at the meets and masters level so yes okay thank you all

817
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,360
right and then the next page is just of course middle school feeders you all see

818
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,680
that it's pretty self-planetary and then high school is on the back so anyway

819
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,740
this gives you just a kind of a comprehensive look at those feeder patterns so

820
01:20:05,740 --> 01:20:09,760
hopefully they'll give us information if you need information if you need and

821
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:17,760
And so, Dr. McFrogan, did you want to section groups or we're just going to take the site

822
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:18,580
we're currently on?

823
01:20:18,980 --> 01:20:19,120
Yes.

824
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,880
We just do like, yeah, the three of them go there and they can go here.

825
01:20:22,380 --> 01:20:22,580
Okay.

826
01:20:23,220 --> 01:20:28,720
And Dr. Ro is going to man one side and I'll man the other side to facilitate and answer any

827
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:30,940
questions that you might have while you're reviewing.

828
01:20:31,580 --> 01:20:35,540
And so we're going to, I'm going to allow you to move to those spots and then I'll flip to

829
01:20:35,540 --> 01:20:39,240
the next slide, which we're going to spend about 15 minutes on each side.

830
01:20:39,820 --> 01:20:41,860
Well, they're 15 over there, and then we'll swap.

831
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:42,220
Okay.
