I appreciate 30 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:58,280 for the time that you guys are giving me tonight. Um I just wanted to put a face 31 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:02,080 to the name. I know I've sent this out before, um, 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,160 but sometimes if it feels disconnected and you guys don't know really what 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,680 you're voting for, then how do you put your full heart into it? And I know 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,840 you'll have business to tend to, so I wrote a few things down because my 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,000 family says I talk too much. And I don't want to take your time. So, 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,720 uh, again, my name is Ginger Breedon, I serve as a trustee for East Central ISD. 37 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,240 Um, I'm here because I submitted my name to continue serving as TASB Region 20 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,240 Director and I'm honored that you placed my candidacy on your agenda tonight. 39 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,680 Serving on the TASB Board of Directors has been one of the greatest privileges 40 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,560 of my school board journey. During my time as your Region 20 Director, I've 41 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,800 served on the Member Services Committee, the Legislative Committee, the 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,800 Nominations Committee. I've also had the privilege of completing Leadership TASB 43 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:45,560 and becoming a Master Trustee, where I worked alongside trustees from across 44 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,680 the state to strengthen my leadership and better serve our local communities. 45 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,320 One thing I love most about this role is getting to represent the voices of 46 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,200 Region 20. Whether I'm meeting with legislators in Austin or serving on 47 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,280 statewide statewide committees, I never forget that I'm here to represent the 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,920 districts in our region. I know each district has its unique 49 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,880 challenges and priorities and I believe every district deserves to have its 50 00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:13,120 voice heard at the state level. While I'm proud of the committees I've 51 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,800 served on and the experiences I've had, what matters most to me is being 52 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,320 accessible. I want every district in Region 20 to 53 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,680 know they have someone they can listen to, advocate for them, and work to 54 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,280 ensure their voice is heard. I would be honored to earn your 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,200 endorsement tonight and have the opportunity to continue serving Region 56 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,239 20. Thank you for your time, your service, and for everything you do for 57 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,920 the students, staff, and families of Divine ISD.

So, it's been a minute, but 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,239 we still have a good amount of family here. So, we kind of have some roots. 60 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,480 That's not to sway your vote in any way, but just to give you some context, but, 61 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,760 um, again, thank you for your consideration. 62 00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:50,760 » Appreciate you. 63 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,280 All right, are y'all going to remain for the meeting? 64 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,080 » No, sir.

Over the last month, our district and campus 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,600 leaders completed rigorous analysis of all of our student performance data, 80 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,440 structural practice, and stakeholder feedback 81 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,040 from our comprehensive needs assessment through our DEIC. 82 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,720 We use these findings to refine priorities and guide continuous 83 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,640 improvement efforts. All of our current vacancies are still 84 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,600 posted on the website. And as the district prepares to welcome 85 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,760 students back in approximately 4 weeks or so, campuses are focused on 86 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,360 finalizing preparations for a successful start. 87 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:27,480 Our campus leaders have completed their star review. They're guiding the work of 88 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:31,640 completed analysis throughout the spring and summer. Even though they 89 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:36,320 are off campus at times, they're still working hard every minute of the day, 90 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,640 always thinking about our kiddos.

The elementary corridor renovation is 95 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,880 about 50% complete. Uh we had our construction meeting today like we do 96 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,480 every Monday at 9:00. They feel like they are going to be in a good spot for 97 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,280 us to be finished. Our intermediate vestibule remains on 98 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,680 the schedule for completion by Meet the Teacher Night and we 99 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,760 uh before we get back to school.

A lot of what we're still doing is 102 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,880 trying to finish up the cleanup around um all the other projects and ensure 103 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,760 that the facilities are ready to welcome back students, staff, and families. 104 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,840 » That's all you got? >> Yeah, that's it. 105 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,360 » Dr. Branson, sorry.

Okay. 116 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Um if that's the case, can I get a show of hands for all those in favor? 117 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:26,440 All right. All those opposed, same sign. And then 118 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,440 the motion passes 5-0. 119 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,800 Uh the All right, we're going to move on to the 120 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:37,480 first action item. Um consider and take possible action to 121 00:07:34,919 --> 00:07:40,640 approve a new position at DHS to teach the PCC 122 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:46,200 key program in partnership with Southwest Texas College. 123 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,720 » So, PCT stands for patient care technician. 124 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,840 It's a the exact 125 00:07:50,295 --> 00:07:53,760 » [clears throat] >> um direction that we were heading 126 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,080 whenever we had our health services program when Nurse Wilson was teaching 127 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,480 it for us before. That was two classes this past year. 128 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,760 Now, we're having to move into a six-class uh regimen. 129 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:13,400 And we kind of stumbled across a partnership with Southwest Texas 130 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:17,360 uh College. However, we If we employ the person who is teaching the class, which 131 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:21,000 is why we wanted to add this because Nurse Wilson is a certified district 132 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,355 nurse, but if we add uh a teaching position to take over this 133 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,680 program, >> [clears throat] 134 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,880 » it now actually turns into dual credit to Southwest Texas Junior College. 135 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:35,159 And the kiddos that are um 136 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,320 involved in the program, we're going to have about 20 per cohort, so 20 per each 137 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,480 grade starting this year. Um with that being paid 138 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:51,160 with that teacher being paid out of our um 139 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:55,280 our staff, the dual credit hours are at no cost to the 140 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:59,320 kiddos that are in the program. Um the reason that 141 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,040 it makes more sense for us to do this too is they said that they don't have 142 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,276 anybody that they can hire. They can't find these people to do this. 143 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,960 But, we've had >> [snorts] 144 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,720 » a couple of people in the community express interest that are in the field. 145 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:18,280 They will be on the teacher pay scale. So, we're looking at if starting pay 146 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,400 with zero years, which it's not going to be zero years because what we're looking 147 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:26,560 for is a bachelor of science in nursing, so that this person is highly qualified 148 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,160 to take over the program. Um 149 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:36,280 probably would be around 60 to 62,000. Not like a 5-year teacher, 6-year 150 00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:36,280 teacher. 151 00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:45,000 » Any Anybody have any questions? >> Does it take over Wilson's classes, too? 152 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,640 » Like all of them? >> She won't be able to teach classes 153 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,120 anymore. >> Yeah. 154 00:09:47,541 --> 00:09:51,760 » [clears throat and cough] >> It wasn't built Chris is like that was 155 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:55,960 not a sustainable model because >> She was doing two classes at first and 156 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,680 then if we moved to six classes then it's kind of like worse. 157 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,280 » Yeah. >> Plus she did equals plus 158 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120 » Yeah. >> So this is a much more sustainable 159 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,000 » And what this also does is helps us on our CCMR piece cuz when we get these 160 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,400 kiddos getting an extra dual credit hours 161 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,480 we don't [clears throat] know we haven't been able to see it right off the bat 162 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:17,520 yet. >> Like Natalia has the same program with 163 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:21,440 the same college but in CCMR funding they have what they call outcomes 164 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:27,080 bonuses now and so we feel like a good portion of this will come back with some 165 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,080 additional CTE funding. 166 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,280 » All right. No other questions. Can I have a motion? 167 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,960 » Mr. President, I have a motion to approve additional full-time CTE 168 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,960 teaching position for the PCT program as presented. 169 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,880 » Second. >> All right. I have a motion by Candace 170 00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:49,720 and a second by Carrie to approve the additional full-time CTE 171 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,960 teaching position for PCT program for the PCT program. 172 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:58,520 All those in favor raise your right hand. 173 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:02,440 All right. The motion passes 5-0. All right. We'll move on to consider and 174 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:09,360 take possible action to approve the new innovative course at DHS. 175 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:13,080 And uh do Is there any questions that y'all have about that?
