I'm in front of you this evening seeking 34 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,860 your assistance with some issues related to the Ag Barn. First issue is communication. 35 00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:38,840 Communication is imperative within an organization. Before we reached out to Mr. Cobb, a few emails 36 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:45,480 were sent to the Barn Manager and were unanswered. Mr. Cobb is the first and only DISD staff member 37 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,100 to try his best to help find a mutually agreeable and fair resolution for all involved when no 38 00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:55,820 one else would consider it. For that we thank you. Second, the construction of the new Barn. 39 00:03:55,820 --> 00:04:03,000 While it is appreciated and welcome to have a new open-air barn, there are flaws with it, just like any new construction project there are flaws. 40 00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:10,980 When the project started, it was promised to have awnings over the outdoor side of the stalls. These awnings are needed and cannot be cut. 41 00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:16,680 When it rains, it rains into these stalls. They become hazardous to the project and the students. 42 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,120 It floods and holds water in these pens. This can cause many health issues, for example hoof rot. 43 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,940 The walkways in the barn hold water as well slippery and hazardous conditions to the cattle and the children 44 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,360 Drains the drains are backing up the washer acts are holding water 45 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,360 Along with many other issues 46 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,080 This is how left the barn staff in a very unfair position and they are doing their best to make do they have been left to defend 47 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Something they have no input or control over. I'm here seeking your assistance and addressing the conditions of the new barn 48 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,500 and welcome you all to come see the new facility for yourselves and visit with 49 00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:56,640 the other families with their struggles are with this too. 50 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320 Thanks.

All right, we're going to move on to the Dr. Brown's 30-day update. This is her first board meeting, and she's already given us a 30-day update, so go ahead. 209 00:15:31,270 --> 00:15:32,910 Thank you, President Magliolo. 210 00:15:32,910 --> 00:15:38,810 So I am pleased to provide an update on my first 30 days as superintendent of Dickinson ISD. 211 00:15:39,490 --> 00:15:43,910 During this initial period, my focus has been on establishing effective communication, 212 00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:49,550 ensuring tailored support for our schools and fostering community engagement. 213 00:15:50,290 --> 00:15:51,790 So below are some key highlights. 214 00:15:52,690 --> 00:15:53,630 Central office meetings. 215 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:57,850 I conducted one-on-one meetings with each member of central office team. 216 00:15:57,850 --> 00:16:03,210 these interactions were invaluable in understanding the strengths, challenges 217 00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:07,150 and needs of our district's administrative team. Our discussions have 218 00:16:07,150 --> 00:16:11,490 laid the groundwork for a collaborative and cohesive approach moving forward. 219 00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:16,490 Principal meetings. I have held individual one-on-one meetings with each 220 00:16:16,490 --> 00:16:20,690 principal across our district. These sessions provided insights into the 221 00:16:20,690 --> 00:16:24,830 unique needs of each school community, enabling me to better support our 222 00:16:24,830 --> 00:16:30,490 principals and their staff. Our focus was on ensuring that the resources and 223 00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:35,650 support provided are customized to meet the specific requirements of each 224 00:16:35,650 --> 00:16:41,590 school. Effective communication establishing clear and open lines of 225 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:46,110 communication has been a priority. I have emphasized the importance of 226 00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:51,610 transparent and frequent communication between the central office, principals, 227 00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:56,230 staff and the community. This will ensure that we are all aligned in our 228 00:16:56,230 --> 00:17:02,850 efforts to support our students effectively. Community engagement. I have 229 00:17:02,850 --> 00:17:06,490 begun meeting and greeting various community members and stakeholders. 230 00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:11,510 These interactions are essential for building strong relationships and 231 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:16,310 fostering a sense of unity and collaboration with our district. I will 232 00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:19,850 continue to engage with the community to understand their perspectives and 233 00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:26,710 keep them informed about district initiatives. Intentional synergy. One of my primary goals 234 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:32,690 is to streamline intentional synergy throughout our district. By aligning our efforts and 235 00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:38,950 working cohesively, we can achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in our operations 236 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:44,830 and educational programs. Budget focus. As we move into the beginning of the school 237 00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:49,250 year, budget management will be a key focus. I'm working closely with the finance 238 00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:54,010 team to ensure that our financial resources are allocated strategically to 239 00:17:54,010 --> 00:17:59,450 support our school needs and district priorities. Parent community meet and 240 00:17:59,450 --> 00:18:04,090 greets. With the start of the school year approaching I am organizing meet and 241 00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:08,730 greet events at each campus for parents and community members. These events 242 00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:12,810 will provide an opportunity for open dialogue allowing us to build 243 00:18:12,810 --> 00:18:17,770 partnerships and gather feedback to enhance our district's efforts. On 244 00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:23,890 On another note, I am pleased to inform you that our ESC team is diligently planning a 245 00:18:23,890 --> 00:18:28,230 series of back-to-school events to welcome our teachers returning in August. 246 00:18:29,010 --> 00:18:34,490 These events are designed to provide our educators with the resources, support, and inspiration 247 00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,730 they need for a successful start to the new academic year. 248 00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:44,850 In addition to our teachers-focused events, we have also scheduled back-to-school activities 249 00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:51,090 for our DISD students and their families. These events aim to foster a sense of community, 250 00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:57,070 provide essential information and ensure that our students and families feel prepared and excited 251 00:18:57,070 --> 00:19:03,370 for the upcoming school year. We are committed to creating a positive and engaging atmosphere 252 00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:09,030 for both our staff and students as we embark on this new academic journey. Further details 253 00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:13,930 on these events will be shared with you in the upcoming weeks. Additionally, I want to 254 00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:19,270 moment to address the impact of hurricane barrel on our community. In response to severe 255 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:24,270 weather and the needs of our residents, we opened our doors to serve as a cooling center 256 00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:29,170 and provided a safe place for community members to stay over the weekend at the high school. 257 00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:34,510 This initiative was crucial in offering relief and support to those affected by the hurricane. 258 00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:40,390 Our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone who came to 259 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:43,990 our facilities, receive the care and assistance they needed. 260 00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:51,750 The overwhelming sense of community and solidarity during this time was truly inspiring and demonstrated 261 00:19:52,330 --> 00:19:55,670 our commitment to supporting each other in times of need. 262 00:19:56,430 --> 00:20:00,710 In conclusion, my first 30 days have been both productive and enlightening. 263 00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:07,090 I am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, transparency, and community 264 00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:07,750 engagement. 265 00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:11,710 I look forward to working with each of you as we strive to provide the best 266 00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:15,730 educational experience for our students this year. Thank you for your 267 00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:22,990 continued support. Thanks. All right next item we're going to move to 268 00:20:22,990 --> 00:20:27,510 Arcadis will present a update on the seat the planning of the CTE Center. 269 00:20:28,490 --> 00:20:33,990 Thank you I'm gonna ask Danny and Aaron to come up we've had a long 270 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:40,750 working relationship with Arcadis who originally they were Bay Architects then 271 00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:45,170 became then merged with IBI and now they're Arcadis. They started back with 272 00:20:45,170 --> 00:20:53,210 us. They did K.E. Little, Bay Colony, San Leon, Calder Road. They did the high 273 00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:59,710 school additions, N-Wing, the gym, the band hall, the ninth grade center. They 274 00:20:59,710 --> 00:21:07,550 They did the renovations to transportation in 2010, to food service in 2010, and to technology 275 00:21:07,550 --> 00:21:08,510 in 2010. 276 00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:10,430 So they've been with us a long time. 277 00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:15,450 And I'm going to turn it over to Danny and Aaron and let them walk you through the footprint 278 00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:16,570 for CTE. 279 00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:23,520 I know I'm being recorded. 280 00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,680 First of all, thank you everybody for having us out. 281 00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:28,940 We really appreciate the opportunity to work in Dickinson. 282 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,540 Love it here. 283 00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:36,200 And left out of that introduction is Aaron and I were both trained by Leland Williams if you know what that means. 284 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,180 So we do have some experience out here. 285 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,860 So we're going to jump in here. 286 00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:50,680 We've been tasked to add a, during the bond it was decided that there was going to be a CTE addition to Dickinson High School. 287 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,660 And so we're slowly getting that going. 288 00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:59,780 There's a lot of interesting things about adding on at Dickinson High School just because 289 00:21:59,780 --> 00:22:02,500 of the way the building is cited and what all is going on out there. 290 00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,980 But we're super excited about it and we're going to show you where we're at tonight. 291 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,180 So it begins with visioning. 292 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,860 We've had several meetings where we've met with the user groups and the administrators. 293 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,720 We've gone and toured a couple of facilities. 294 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:24,400 We've talked about expectations of what programs would be a part of a CTE edition and what 295 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,140 goes in to each of those programs once you have it in your school. 296 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:37,780 And so those are just kind of images of existing CTE facilities that we went to that your 297 00:22:37,780 --> 00:22:41,200 folks liked what was going on out there. 298 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:48,260 Not all our work, but the one in the middle on the bottom is an IBI Bay Arcadis project. 299 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:56,000 Okay, so as I said, it's been very interesting working at the Dickinson High School. 300 00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:02,400 When we got started, we had kind of agreed the best place for this facility would be, 301 00:23:02,820 --> 00:23:09,120 what you see up there is called Site One, which is on the west side parking lot right outside the latest addition. 302 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,160 But as we get into it and as we, you know, we, as a part of planning for something like this, 303 00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:24,260 we have to talk to the city, we talk to the fire marshal, we talk to the folks who are in flood control. 304 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:31,640 And what we quickly discovered as much as we wanted to have it on the west side of the building, 305 00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:34,080 there's a lot of issues there. 306 00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:41,140 Not the least of which the new flood plains would have the finish floor 18 inches higher 307 00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:46,080 than the existing building next door which would create all sorts of vertical circulation 308 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,860 problems by putting the building up against it. 309 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,800 There was also creating some inefficiencies with some classrooms that were there. 310 00:23:53,980 --> 00:23:57,880 It was reducing the number of classrooms that have natural light. 311 00:24:00,020 --> 00:24:04,700 So, after really, really trying and spending a lot of time trying to make this work, trying 312 00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:11,880 to shoehorn it in, we kind of changed directions and moved the site to what you see a site to, 313 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,000 between the science and athletic areas near the Walk of Fame. 314 00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:20,740 As you can see here, it does a lot for us. 315 00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:25,680 The only cons there were the Walk of Fame, but frankly, by the end of this project, 316 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,880 like we can improve the walk of fame very easily, 317 00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:29,140 make it a much nicer location. 318 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,280 We're gonna lose parking spots no matter what we do. 319 00:24:32,780 --> 00:24:34,660 It's just the way it's gonna be. 320 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,940 But what this offers us is we don't have 321 00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:40,460 the uncomfortable floor finish changes 322 00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:41,740 from one building to the next 323 00:24:41,740 --> 00:24:44,560 because you actually step outside before you get to it. 324 00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:48,940 It allows us to fence the entire campus 325 00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:50,960 for the first time for security, 326 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,280 which is very important. 327 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,240 We are going to have to go vertical. 328 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,360 There's just no place to go. 329 00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:58,820 So this will be a three-story building. 330 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,700 I'll show you some massing models here in a second. 331 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,440 But the whole, the entire committee is with us, 332 00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:10,760 and we all think that this is the right location 333 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,720 for this facility. 334 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,620 And so just jump in. 335 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,660 We've got some very schematic plans here. 336 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,460 We're going to have some more meetings this week. 337 00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:21,780 And so we'll develop these plans. 338 00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:27,960 but for now we are here's the program we need this in the school where is it 339 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,180 going to be and so what's on the first floor what's on the second floor what's 340 00:25:31,180 --> 00:25:34,000 on the third floor and so that's what we're working through right now and 341 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,180 also access how do we get people in and out how do we use the existing drives 342 00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:45,680 the existing parking what changes and how do we get kids in and out and 343 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,040 through this building and it's actually a pretty good solution because kids 344 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,440 going from the main building to the athletic area will now be part, they'll 345 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,900 be behind the security fence and they'll spend part of that trip going through an 346 00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:04,320 air-conditioned space. We also have to get parking in because there are going 347 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,640 to be programs here where people can come visit this facility. Maybe it's for 348 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,400 the vet tech, you're going to bring your dog in or maybe you're you're 349 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,380 going to get your haircut or your hair done. So we got to provide a way for 350 00:26:15,380 --> 00:26:21,280 visitors to come through and into a secure campus but still be welcomed by the students 351 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,420 in those CTE programs. 352 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,980 So that's what you see going on here. 353 00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:29,480 The blue is just kind of a first blush idea, what can we do at the Walk of Honor to make 354 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,740 it even nicer than it is now. 355 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:37,280 But what you'll see in future meetings as we develop this, there's a really nice 356 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,540 activity space as part of the program where we can start having events on campus 357 00:26:41,540 --> 00:26:44,600 again that it will have a good number of people in them. 358 00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:49,520 I think it's too early to go through each program. 359 00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:55,000 We'll have sheets for that next time, but access to the first floor is important for 360 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,800 some programs, but others, we were able to decide it's okay for those to be on another 361 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,200 floor. 362 00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:02,940 Oops, it didn't go, yeah. 363 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,660 And so second floor, just slightly smaller, so there'll be a little bit of roof area, 364 00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:10,840 but that's a good place for some mechanical. 365 00:27:11,860 --> 00:27:16,120 Very simple plan, very simple plan, 366 00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:17,460 but it would be three stories, 367 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,680 but we're shoehorning 100,000 square feet in there. 368 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,700 That's the size of a small elementary school. 369 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,900 So we're super excited. 370 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,240 We've had some good meetings. 371 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,600 We're going to have some more good meetings 372 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,620 to get these spaces fitted out 373 00:27:32,620 --> 00:27:35,920 for what the CTE program wants for Dickinson. 374 00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:40,340 And we'll come present that as soon as it's ready. 375 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,200 With that, this is a massing model that shows how tall it would be 376 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,920 and how much space it would take up between the two buildings. 377 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:58,050 And that's the other direction. 378 00:27:59,250 --> 00:28:01,190 So a fairly substantial addition, 379 00:28:01,270 --> 00:28:04,930 especially when you compare it to the gym addition that we did last time, 380 00:28:05,030 --> 00:28:06,550 which is a big building in itself. 381 00:28:07,910 --> 00:28:15,590 So this will be a nice piece for the Dickinson High School, just a fantastic program in CTE. 382 00:28:16,670 --> 00:28:22,130 And with that, I think I can move to questions if anybody has any. 383 00:28:26,590 --> 00:28:26,750 Anybody? 384 00:28:28,050 --> 00:28:34,530 Yeah, it's hard to see it up there, so our eyes are bad, probably our age. 385 00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:38,570 I believe everybody has it in their bid pack, so you can take it and review it. 386 00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:39,330 All 387 00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:46,240 right.

Now, this is years down the road 392 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:21,900 with Logo Mart East which is on the east side of 45. They're still obviously on the west side 393 00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:23,840 growing like crazy. 394 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,820 Do they have the handouts Rachel? We don't have the hand out. It's on the 395 00:29:32,820 --> 00:29:40,100 computer. Okay on here as you can see now they can't even begin to tell us a timeline. This is 396 00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:46,380 how far out this is eventually as you can see up at the top huge road connecting 397 00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:51,100 back to the freeway and then that's the same huge road that will run around to 398 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,240 the logo more of the new the new elementary that we will be building so 399 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,980 huge row will go right by the west side of our new 400 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,220 Now, Holland Road, which is going to connect 45 to 204, that's a long way from being done. 401 00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:13,720 Even the city of Tech City said we can't give you an ETA on that. 402 00:30:14,020 --> 00:30:19,020 So, as you can see, this is over 3100 additional lots just in this area. 403 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,500 So there's tremendous amount of growth coming down here. 404 00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:29,780 We do have just east of 204 to your right a little further south than what 405 00:30:29,780 --> 00:30:34,900 this drawing shows we have two 15 acre tracks if you'll recall we bought those 406 00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:41,080 a couple of years ago no detention requirement on them so we those are 407 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,940 designed for elementary schools or possibly a middle school we also have 408 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:56,080 154 acres just to the east up here in the colored area where the track is. 409 00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:01,420 That's our land where it's a little bit lighter colored shade right there. We 410 00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:07,860 have 154 acres right there. We did acquire an entrance into 411 00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:14,820 204 about 18 months ago. Just a wide enough path to get into it. We 412 00:31:14,820 --> 00:31:21,440 also have directly off of Highway 3 entrance into that track of land. So we 413 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,900 do have another 40 acres on the very southern borders of our property down 414 00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,780 off of Ambrone Road just north of College of the Mainland. 415 00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:31,980 Has a great 416 00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:37,680 bass pond on it right now. A five acre bass pond out there. But there will 417 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,280 take a lot of development before we could even really access that right 418 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:48,640 now so we just want to update you kind of show you what long-range projections 419 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,940 are for the east side of the freeway and this is just logo more there are other 420 00:31:51,940 --> 00:32:01,540 developers out there so any questions no not for me anybody else okay thanks mr. 421 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,260 Boone the next item is yours as well and hurricane barrel update any damages 422 00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:16,940 Thank you with hurricane barrel we had or burl we had roof damage at San Leon 423 00:32:16,940 --> 00:32:22,040 and we're working with a contractor on that now we had we lost several roof 424 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,360 vents throughout the district blew off and of course that does damage to your 425 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,620 roof when they go bouncing across those roofs those single ply roofs we 426 00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:38,600 have.

499 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,660 So, elementary used to have third and fourth grade, middle schools were fifth and sixth. 500 00:37:42,820 --> 00:37:46,400 And so now, when we're looking at the elementary, they only have third grade. 501 00:37:49,460 --> 00:37:51,160 And there's no growth, right? 502 00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:56,100 So, one of the pieces of accountability is how the students did from one year to the next. 503 00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:59,620 So, if they only take the test in third grade, the elementary don't have growth. 504 00:37:59,620 --> 00:38:01,900 So we're just looking at just third grade 505 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,880 for the elementary schools and then fourth and fifth. 506 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,960 So we have a whole new grade level, 507 00:38:08,060 --> 00:38:09,840 new teachers at each middle school, 508 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,440 and then each junior high has a whole new grade level 509 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,120 and new teachers. 510 00:38:13,740 --> 00:38:16,940 And so we just felt like it's significantly different 511 00:38:16,940 --> 00:38:19,240 to where it's hard to compare, you know, 512 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,740 how did they colony do this year to how they did last year 513 00:38:21,740 --> 00:38:22,940 because they're missing a whole grade level. 514 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,460 And then so on and so forth. 515 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,820 So we're gonna just look at the 2024 scores 516 00:38:28,820 --> 00:38:30,400 and I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Noffsinger. 517 00:38:40,030 --> 00:38:44,930 The columns that I want you to pay attention to are these that did not meet. 518 00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:48,910 We want the green column to always be the shortest out of the three 519 00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:51,770 because we are comparing the state, the region, and the district. 520 00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:57,810 And then look at the masters and we want the green column to be the highest column 521 00:38:57,810 --> 00:39:02,690 because we want to exceed the state and the region in our masters. 522 00:39:02,690 --> 00:39:07,690 So this is third grade RLA, this is third grade Spanish. 523 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:11,650 You'll notice that that's only 126 tests though. 524 00:39:11,830 --> 00:39:17,210 So we need to keep in mind that all of our Spanish testing groups are rather small student groups. 525 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:22,890 Fourth grade RLA, look at across the board. 526 00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:24,650 We're looking at our meets and masters. 527 00:39:25,210 --> 00:39:29,690 And even though there seems to be some difference, 28, 28, 26, 528 00:39:29,690 --> 00:39:34,750 we have to look at the global picture to know that there's really not that much of a difference. 529 00:39:35,650 --> 00:39:44,550 Fourth grade Spanish, fifth grade RLA, fifth grade Spanish, and fifth grade is the last 530 00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:55,510 year in which we have the Spanish. Sixth grade RLA, seventh grade RLA, eighth grade RLA, 531 00:39:56,910 --> 00:40:04,130 Our English 1 EOC, you notice that in our did not meets, that our bar is a lot shorter 532 00:40:04,130 --> 00:40:06,650 than the state in the region, so we're very proud of that. 533 00:40:07,070 --> 00:40:10,650 Our meets is taller, so that's always a good sign. 534 00:40:11,590 --> 00:40:17,610 Our English 2, below state average for did not meet, which is what we're striving 535 00:40:17,610 --> 00:40:23,710 for, was our grade 3, our grade 3 Spanish, our 7th and our English 1, above the state 536 00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:29,830 average for masters was our third grade RLA Spanish. For our math again we're 537 00:40:29,830 --> 00:40:34,130 looking at those same trends we want our did not meet to be the lowest bar we 538 00:40:34,130 --> 00:40:39,270 want our masters to be the highest bar. Again we have the Spanish which is a 539 00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:46,710 small group of students. Our fourth grade, fourth grade Spanish, fifth grade 540 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:59,350 grade math, fifth grade Spanish, sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade, our algebra. Again, 541 00:40:59,450 --> 00:41:04,030 we see that our EOCs were getting some really good results with our EOCs. 542 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:06,840 So below state 543 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,840 average for did not meet is our grade three, our grade three Spanish, our fifth grade and 544 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,980 our algebra. And above state average for masters is our grade three Spanish and 545 00:41:16,980 --> 00:41:23,900 in our algebra. We get into our science. We only test two grade levels in science, grade 546 00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:32,880 five and grade eight. And then we test again for biology, our EOC. Our science summary below 547 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,880 state average for did not meet was grade eight in biology. Above state average for 548 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:45,260 masters was our biology. Social studies, we only test at grade eight. And then we 549 00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:51,780 test again as an EOC for US history. So below state average for did not meet is 550 00:41:51,780 --> 00:42:00,400 grade 8. Above state average for masters is grade 8. All right so it's hard for you 551 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,420 to read that from here but whenever Dr. Brown got here when we started meeting 552 00:42:04,420 --> 00:42:07,960 it's meeting with Dr. Brown and then also with Lindsay Suarez our new 553 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,440 director of curriculum and instruction and Dr. Brown said her word is 554 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,500 intentional and so we took intentional and I like alliteration so we came up 555 00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:20,980 with three pillars so we have intentional instruction intentional 556 00:42:20,980 --> 00:42:25,180 intervention and intentional interpersonal development which is the social 557 00:42:25,180 --> 00:42:29,460 emotional learning I had to do some the SOAR searches to try to figure out how 558 00:42:29,460 --> 00:42:34,360 to get an eye for social emotional learning but so intentional instruction 559 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,940 has to do with tier one instruction we're going to make sure that our 560 00:42:36,940 --> 00:42:42,120 our kids that first teach opportunity is on grade level we're going to make 561 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:48,660 sure that we are our teachers are having intentional use of engaging strategies 562 00:42:48,660 --> 00:42:52,200 that are aligned to the district curriculum. We're going to support our 563 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,660 teachers and effective instruction. We've had a lot of PD this summer like 564 00:42:56,660 --> 00:43:01,260 Solution Tree's RTI at work and ongoing PD throughout the year. With the 565 00:43:01,260 --> 00:43:05,220 intentional intervention that's our response to intervention and I like 566 00:43:05,220 --> 00:43:09,180 the way Louise Cruz talked about it from Solution Tree at the RTI at work. 567 00:43:09,180 --> 00:43:13,060 He said RTI stands for Responsible Teachers Intervening. 568 00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:18,300 And so we're going to make sure that our teachers know what to do with those students who don't get it the first time. 569 00:43:19,420 --> 00:43:22,780 We're going to have frequent checks. 570 00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:26,560 We're going to make sure that teachers are analyzing that data from those assessments. 571 00:43:27,340 --> 00:43:30,120 They're going to have pre-planned Tier 2 interventions in the classroom. 572 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,980 And then we're going to make sure that that Tier 3 intervention is strategic. 573 00:43:34,540 --> 00:43:37,960 And then for social-emotional learning, interpersonal development, it's all about relationships. 574 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:43,660 relationships between teachers and students, between principals and teachers, between central 575 00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:50,720 office and the campuses. We're going to look at parent and school partnerships and also 576 00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:56,340 behavior or behavior instruction and behavior intervention. So just like, you know, we 577 00:43:56,340 --> 00:44:00,380 want to teach students how to behave and then we're going to also make sure that we have 578 00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:05,540 interventions in place to help those students who don't get that first teach on behavior 579 00:44:05,540 --> 00:44:14,740 as well. I think that's back to Debbie. The next big data which I can't wait to give. On 580 00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:21,080 August the 13th we are going to get our accountability ratings from the state. It will come directly 581 00:44:21,780 --> 00:44:28,100 to us and then it will be released to the public on August the 15th. So you'll be getting 582 00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:34,060 a written report on that and then we will do a presentation at the board meeting to be 583 00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:38,320 able to go over all the domains because this is just the first glance at domain 584 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,180 one and we'll get to go through all three domains. 585 00:44:44,050 --> 00:44:45,770 We love your enthusiasm. 586 00:44:47,290 --> 00:44:47,810 All 587 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:56,620 right thank you guys. The next item on the agenda is Dr. Packagin. 588 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:12,100 Yes, so every year we bring this to you. So UIL has some courses that are exempt. So if a student 589 00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:19,100 is taking an above level course, an AP course, an honors course, they have this exemption from 590 00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:24,840 the no-pass, no-play rule.
