1
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,100
>> Good evening, everyone. I

2
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,100
call this meeting of the board

3
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,100
of Trustees of the Tarrant

4
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,100
County College District

5
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:37,100
to order at 6pm. Please rise if

6
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,100
you are able for the Pledges

7
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:40,100
of Allegiance

8
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:45,100
to the US and the Texas flags.

9
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:47,100
>> I pledge allegiance to the

10
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,100
Flag of the United States of

11
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,100
America and to the Republic

12
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,100
for which it stands, one

13
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,401
Nation under God, indivisible,

14
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:58,401
with liberty and justice

15
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:01,100
for all.

16
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:15,100
>> Thank you and good evening.

17
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:17,100
We will start this evening's

18
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,401
meeting with public comment.

19
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,100
We have one individual signed

20
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,100
for public comment,

21
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:28,100
and that is Daniel J.

22
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,100
Bennett. Mr. Bennett.

23
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:42,100
>> Good evening, Board. Good

24
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:43,100
evening, President Dakine,

25
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:45,100
Chancellor LeBlanc, Trustees. I

26
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,100
just want to go back a little

27
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,100
history lesson before I move

28
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:51,100
on to why I'm really here. I

29
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,100
understand 5e is

30
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:55,100
on your agenda today. Ellucian

31
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,401
to supporting the Oracle

32
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,401
system. The collage. It's

33
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,401
college. Whatever it is,

34
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,100
colleague, whatever your ERP

35
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,100
system is today. Let's go back

36
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,100
to October 17th of 2022, when

37
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,100
we were hot and heavy. We

38
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:17,100
couldn't wait to get rid

39
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,100
of this ERP system. Now we're

40
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,100
going to spend all this money

41
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,100
to support the system that's

42
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,100
antiquated and doesn't work,

43
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:26,100
apparently because we went so

44
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:27,100
hot and heavy back in 2022

45
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:28,100
to replace it. Now, Robert

46
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:30,100
Pachenko, who you put on an

47
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:32,100
improvement protocol and you

48
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:34,401
fired him, lost all

49
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,100
of his master programmers.

50
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,100
Well, you hired Cadado. I was

51
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,100
totally against Cadado.

52
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,100
In fact, I think everybody in

53
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:44,100
this room knows that I went up

54
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:45,100
to South Lake, I went

55
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:47,100
to their corporate office,

56
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,100
which did not exist,

57
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,100
and you guys okayed them

58
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:51,100
to a tune of like $1.8 million

59
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:53,100
over a three year plan

60
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:55,100
to be the architect,

61
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,100
implementation processor

62
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,100
of your new ERP called

63
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,100
Anthology. And Ms. Wood is the

64
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:03,100
only trustee that said, no,

65
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:05,100
not today. And you guys went

66
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,100
ahead anyway. So you funded the

67
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,401
budget with $88 million. I

68
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:12,100
still don't know where that

69
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:13,100
money came from. As it was

70
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,100
shipped over

71
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,100
from the general fund

72
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,100
to implement Anthology and you

73
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,100
created a dashboard. You

74
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,100
created all these groups

75
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,100
to help Cadado know your needs,

76
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,100
to integrate between all your

77
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:29,100
different services you provide

78
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,100
your students. The only thing

79
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:33,100
lack was a marching band.

80
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:34,100
Every time I heard Cadado and

81
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,100
Anthology, bells whistled. He

82
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,100
thought you on the 4th of

83
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,100
July. Then you went dormant.

84
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,100
That fund went from 88 million

85
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,100
to 72 million. $16 million got

86
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,401
wasted. So I want

87
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,100
to know how much is

88
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,100
in the ERP budget and why

89
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,401
Mr. Krueger says, well,

90
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,100
we don't know what we're going

91
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:58,100
to do on the ERP system. Takes

92
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:00,100
three to five years to

93
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,100
implement and there was

94
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,100
implementation fatigue on

95
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,100
Anthology. You cut it from 48

96
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,100
months to 40 months. I remember

97
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:07,100
all that. I want a little

98
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:10,100
context for Veronica Law. She

99
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:11,100
is my representative and she

100
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:12,100
needs

101
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:13,100
to understand the history

102
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,100
of you trying

103
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,100
to implement the ERP system.

104
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,100
Now, with one minute to go,

105
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:18,100
here's what I'm really here

106
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,100
for. I have more property that

107
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,100
are not on the tax roll. It

108
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,100
affects this college to

109
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,100
$210,000. If you include

110
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,100
penalties and interest will be

111
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:28,100
more. I have been

112
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,100
for years asking these bodies

113
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,100
to do an audit

114
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,100
of new construction that are

115
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,100
not on the tax roll in

116
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:37,100
Tarrant County. I'm not going

117
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:38,100
to revisit history

118
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,100
of the incompetency under Mr.

119
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,100
Law

120
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:44,100
from which we are now crawling

121
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,100
out from underneath at the

122
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:47,100
Tarrant Appraisal District.

123
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,100
But I already spoke

124
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:50,100
to the city of White

125
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,100
Settlement. Not the citywide

126
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,100
settlement, the school board.

127
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:55,100
I'm having a meeting

128
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:58,100
with them. I'm going to. It's

129
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,100
going to. It's going

130
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:01,100
to be found money. I talked

131
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:02,100
to Don, Joe last

132
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,100
Friday. I said there's two

133
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,100
properties need to look for.

134
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,401
Then give me addresses.

135
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:10,100
They're not going to make the

136
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,100
certified role. I'm okay

137
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,100
with that. Because no one cares

138
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,100
what's on the roll long as a

139
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,100
signature and you can set your

140
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,100
tax rate. So the money we find.

141
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:23,100
I want all the taxing entities

142
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,100
to agree to allow Weisselman

143
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,100
ISD to pick an auditor to go

144
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,100
over District 4. And that's

145
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,100
your district. That includes

146
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,100
Azel and Weisselman ISD to find

147
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:32,100
all the new construction that's

148
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,100
not on the roll. And I'm going

149
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,100
to make a bold statement.

150
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,100
For every dollar you spend,

151
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:39,100
you'll get 10 bucks back. So

152
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,100
that's coming in the future.

153
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:42,100
Thank you.

154
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:45,100
>> Thank you, Mr. Bennett.

155
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,100
There's no other public

156
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,100
comment. Thank you. We'll move

157
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:50,100
on to item four. Board business

158
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:51,100
items and announcements. The

159
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,100
first item

160
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:55,100
for approval is the approval of

161
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,100
the work session meeting

162
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,100
minutes of May 8, 2025. Is

163
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:02,100
there any discussion? There's a

164
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,100
motion to approve.

165
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:09,100
>> Move.

166
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,401
>> Is there a second?

167
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,100
>> Second.

168
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:15,100

169
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:17,100
in favor say aye.

170

>> Aye.

171
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,100

00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:56,100
>> All those in favor say aye.

194
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:57,100
>> Aye.

195
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:59,100
>> Any opposed? The minutes are

196
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:01,100
approved.

197
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,100
>> Item 4D, trustee activities.

198
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:06,100
We will start all the way

199
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:09,100
to my right. Do you have

200
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:11,100
anything tonight?

201
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:16,100
>> I do. I had some fun

202
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:18,100
activities this month, meeting

203
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,100
with some different

204
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,100
stakeholders and some

205
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:23,100
legislators

206
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,100
in the throughout the district.

207
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:26,100
So I was just recently out in

208
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:28,100
Washington D.C. this is

209
00:15:28,100 --> 00:15:30,100
Congressman Brandon Gill who

210
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:32,100
represents District 26, which

211
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:34,100
is primarily Wise County,

212
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,100
Denton county,

213
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,100
so a little bit north of here.

214
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,100
But those counties do certainly

215
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,100
have students that come

216
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:42,100
to tcc, so

217
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,100
of extreme relevancy. So I did

218
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,100
have the opportunity to talk

219
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,100
to him and share with him about

220
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:49,100
the initiative that we're

221
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:50,100
working on

222
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,100
for the education pathways

223
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,100
for survivors

224
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,100
of human and sex trafficking.

225
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:57,100
Shared

226
00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:58,100
with him what the vision is

227
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,100
for this,

228
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,100
let him know that we're still

229
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,100
in our infancy on it, but that

230
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:06,100
it is being designed as we

231
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:08,100
speak. And more than anything,

232
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,100
I wanted to make sure that he

233
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,100
had an awareness of it and that

234
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,100
his team had an awareness of it

235
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,100
and that this is a very

236
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,100
prevalent conversation that

237
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,100
people are having. So his

238
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,100
question to me was,

239
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,100
what can we do for you? What do

240
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,100
you need from us? And I said,

241
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,100
well, right now bringing

242
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:26,100
to you the awareness, but

243
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,100
at some point in time I will

244
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,100
probably be coming

245
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:31,100
to you and asking you

246
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,100
for some money. So

247
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,100
of course he can't commit

248
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,100
to anything at this point

249
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,100
in time,

250
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:40,100
but he was keenly interested

251
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,100
in learning more as we continue

252
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,401
to develop the program

253
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,100
around that. If you go

254
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,100
to the next slide. Also had an

255
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:51,100
opportunity to meet with one

256
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,100
of the legislative aides in

257
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:55,100
Senator Ted Cruz's office

258
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:56,100
to share the same view

259
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,100
on this. She was also keenly

260
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,100
interested in it. Spent quite a

261
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:00,100
bit of time considering how

262
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,100
you're allotted just a very

263
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,100
short window because they are

264
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:06,100
so busy and they're

265
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:08,100
in session. The members are

266
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:09,100
in session right now,

267
00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:11,100
so they're very, very busy. But

268
00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:14,100
she gave me some extra time

269
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:16,100
because she wanted

270
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:18,100
to learn more about it,

271
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:20,100
learn more about the program.

272
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:22,100
And considering the

273
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:23,100
concentration here

274
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:24,100
in the state of Texas,

275
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:27,100
in the, in the Dallas, Fort

276
00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:29,100
Worth, I teach people to say

277
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:30,100
Fort Worth, Dallas Metroplex,

278
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:31,100
as well as some

279
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,100
of the large cities in Texas.

280
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,100
There's a keen interest. And so

281
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,100
as I have additional updates

282
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:37,100
for you, I'll be happy

283
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:38,100
to share more as we go along.

284
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,100
The question was also what can

285
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,100
we do for you? And the same

286
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,100
response was giving you the

287
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,100
awareness of this,

288
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,100
of the program, the

289
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:50,100
groundbreaking program and

290
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,100
initiative. And then

291
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,100
at some point in time we will

292
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,100
probably be asking you

293
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,100
for some money. So they already

294
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,100
setting the stage for that.

295
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,100
But they were both,

296
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:01,100
both offices were very,

297
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,100
very interested in this. So it

298
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,100
was great meetings that we had.

299
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:06,100
And then the next slide,

300
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,100
this is one of the gentlemen.

301
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:10,100
He was invited

302
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,100
to our roundtable that we had

303
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,100
in April. He was not able

304
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,100
to make it. The gentleman

305
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,100
in the hat, his name is Bob

306
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,100
Williams and he runs an

307
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,100
organization in Wise County. I

308
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,100
think he's Denton county called

309
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:23,100
Bob's House of Hope.

310
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:24,100
Incredible organization,

311
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:26,100
incredible work that he does

312
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,100
and that is

313
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:29,100
to provide support services

314
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,100
for boys that have come out

315
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:34,100
of trafficking. So very, very

316
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,100
unique organization that he

317
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,100
leads. And it was interesting

318
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,100
when I was meeting with

319
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,100
Congressman Gill, he said,

320
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:42,100
have you met. Are you aware

321
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,100
of this organization? I said,

322
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,100
as a matter of fact, I am. So

323
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:48,100
it's working with the different

324
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:49,100
key stakeholders and experts

325
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,100
in this area. Learning a lot,

326
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,100
and I know they've shared a lot

327
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:54,100
with the college so far.

328
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,100
But again, happy

329
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:58,100
to bring more information

330
00:18:58,100 --> 00:18:59,100
to you in the future. Thank

331
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:01,100
you.

332
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:03,401
>> Thank you, Ms. Pritchett.

333
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:06,100
Ms. Ayala?

334
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,100
>> Yes, thank you. If I may,

335
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,100
I'd like to congratulate Ms.

336
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:11,100
Chavez Lowe and welcome you

337
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,100
to our board and also want

338
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,100
to congratulate you, Ms. De

339
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:17,100
Kyne, Mr. Hornsby, Ms. Wood and

340
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:19,100
Ms. Pritchett

341
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,100
on your elections.

342
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,100
But I would like to share that

343
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,100
I had the opportunity

344
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,100
to attend the 37th annual Jim

345
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:27,100
Boland Competition awards

346
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,100
ceremony that was hosted

347
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,100
by TCC Northwest on April 24.

348
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:33,100
It was hosted in the Trinity

349
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,100
River Action Suites. The late

350
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,100
Jim Bolen was the former chair

351
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:40,100
of the Northeast Campus Math

352
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:42,100
Department and he first led

353
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,100
TCC's participation in the

354
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,100
American Mathematical

355
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,100
association of Two Year

356
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,100
Colleges, which is AMATYC. It

357
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:51,100
was a challenge in 1989 and the

358
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:53,100
challenge or the competition

359
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,100
challenges students

360
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:00,100
in algebra, trigonometry,

361
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,100
geometry and analytical

362
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:06,100
reasoning. And it's held one

363
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,100
in the fall and one

364
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,100
in the spring. So the

365
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:14,100
competition and the funds and

366
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,100
the money that comes from

367
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,100
to the students is in honor

368
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:26,100
of Jim's contributions and also

369
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,100
it was established by his

370
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,100
family and essentially the TCC

371
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:31,100
foundation competition funds to

372
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:32,100
award TCC's top performing math

373
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,100
students. Awards are presented

374
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,100
to the top performing students

375
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,100
among the 230 competition

376
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:39,401
participants with honors given

377
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:41,100
in three categories. Campus

378
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,100
awards, district awards and

379
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,100
university scholarships. And

380
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,100
scholarships and prizes totaled

381
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,100
more than $550,000.

382
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:51,100
Among the awardees were Derek

383
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,100
Jiang, at just 11 years old,

384
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,100
was recognized as the TCC top

385
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,100
scorer. And Christopher

386
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:00,100
Manikis received the highest

387
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:02,100
prize at $250,000

388
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:03,100
for a four year scholarship

389
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:05,100
to Texas Christian

390
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:07,401
University, which he celebrated

391
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,100
alongside his wife and his two

392
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,100
sons. It was a very, very

393
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:14,100
beautiful celebration because

394
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,100
there were not only the

395
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,100
students, but of course their

396
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,100
families were there

397
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,100
with them. So I want to thank

398
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,100
everyone that was involved

399
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,100
in the organization

400
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:25,401
of the event. And

401
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:28,100
congratulations to all

402
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,100
of those that were recognized.

403
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:32,100
Thank you.

404
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,100
>> Thank you, Ms. Ayala. Dr.

405
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,100
Morrison.

406
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,100
>> Good evening and thank you.

407
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,100
I might add that Jim Boland

408
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,100
was the brother of former

409
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:45,100
Mayor Bob Boland. Just

410
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:46,100
for some of you newcomers to

411
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,100
Fort Worth, always like

412
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:49,100
to share the little Fort Worth

413
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:50,100
history.

414
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,100
>> Thank you. It was my pleasure

415
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,100
to attend the centennial

416
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:56,100
celebration of excellence for

417
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,100
the DFW

418
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,100
Black Woman lawyers. And it was

419
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:03,100
a great event. Inspirational

420
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:04,100
and just camaraderie,

421
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:06,401
colleagues. I was invited

422
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,100
to participate. And it's always

423
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:13,100
good to be in the room with

424
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,100
attorneys and judges when it's

425
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:17,401
a friendly conversation. So

426
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,100
thank you so much. One

427
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,100
of the guests,

428
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,100
that special guest that flew

429
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,100
in, was the only black judge

430
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,100
from Utah, and she was very

431
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,100
inspirational,

432
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:38,100
but she had ties to Fort

433
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,100
Worth, so I was very impressed

434
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:43,100
with that. Thank you. And then

435
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,100
I attended the 33rd annual

436
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:46,100
rally for Education. I was

437
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,100
on stage with Toro. And

438
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,100
of course, whenever you're

439
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,100
on stage with Toro, Toro gets

440
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,100
all of the applause. The 30th

441
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:56,601
annual rally. I'm sorry. And it

442
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,100
was great. The young people in

443
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:01,100
the audience were very

444
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,401
receptive to the information

445
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:06,100
about the six colleges. And I

446
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:08,100
made a promise that somebody's

447
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:11,601
gonna have to keep. Toro is

448
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,100
writing a book. Because all

449
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,100
of the stuff that I said,

450
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:20,100
the person on stage says that

451
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,100
should be written

452
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,100
down so they can take that home

453
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:28,100
in a book. So I said, okay,

454
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,100
Taro's writing a book.

455
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,100
Okay.

456
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:33,100
You know, I talk about the

457
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,100
six colleges where they are,

458
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:37,100
all of the great programs,

459
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:38,100
and so it'll be fun. I know all

460
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,100
of the creative minds will come

461
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:41,100
up with a great way for Toro

462
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,100
to put that in a book. Look

463
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,100
at that. That is the most

464
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,100
precious picture. She is just

465
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:49,100
enamored with Toro. And Toro

466
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:51,401
gave out great information,

467
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:54,100
great encouragement. The theme

468
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,100
of the day was Tarrant County

469
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:59,100
College. That's my college. We

470
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,100
had everybody

471
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,601
in the room saying that. Also

472
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:06,100
bold steps, better futures.

473
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:07,100
That was my escort

474
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,100
for the day. He's grown up over

475
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,100
the years and is a TCC student.

476
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:12,100
I can't remember, you know,

477
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:13,100
one of those college

478
00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:15,100
for kids,

479
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:17,100
students who's growing up

480
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,100
through the ladder

481
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,100
of success. So it was a great

482
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,100
morning of inspiration

483
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,100
and today I was at the TCC

484
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,100
Trinity river campus. I slid

485
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:33,100
through. That's the new term.

486
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,100
Or I popped in and popped out.

487
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,100
But I got a great lesson

488
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,100
in constitutional law

489
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:41,100
from the justices

490
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:44,100
of the appellate court here,

491
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:46,100
who explained

492
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:48,100
to us the most important

493
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:49,100
article in the Constitution is

494
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,100
the first article because it

495
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:52,100
protects all our faith

496
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,100
in our decision making. So we

497
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:57,100
recommended that we all go back

498
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,100
and read the Constitution

499
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:02,100
because people think it's one

500
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:04,100
of the amendment. But no, it's

501
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:05,100
in article one. So a great

502
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,100
lesson. And these young people

503
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:11,100
were the members

504
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:13,100
of the aspiring Young Lawyers

505
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:15,100
Camp. This was just one

506
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,100
of their activities. They asked

507
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,100
great questions. And

508
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:19,100
of course, our wonderful TCC

509
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,100
staff, Dean, Chancellor and

510
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:22,100
Marissa did a great job

511
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:23,100
of partnering with the L.

512
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,100
Clifford Davis Legal

513
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:27,401
Association. And Marissa has

514
00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:31,100
written a report that tracks

515
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,100
the participation of students

516
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:33,100
from college to kids

517
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:35,100
to various other programs

518
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,100
through their enrollment

519
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,100
in TCC and on to college. And

520
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,100
I'm really excited

521
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,100
to read that. And I know that

522
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:43,100
these kind

523
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:44,100
of activities have a huge

524
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:46,100
impact in student enrollment

525
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:47,100
and student success. So I was

526
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,100
happy to get the slide through

527
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:51,100
and share that inspirational

528
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:54,100
lecture with them. So thank

529
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:57,100
you. It's been a great time.

530
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,401
>> Thank you, Dr. Morrison.

531
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,100
Mr. Hornsby, you're good? Glad

532
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:05,100
to see you here tonight, Ms.

533
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:07,100
Wood.

534
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,601
>> Good evening. I have quite a

535
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:17,100
few things to go through,

536
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,100
so I'm going to go through them

537
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,100
as quickly as I can. I didn't

538
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:26,100
want to take too much time the

539
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,100
last meeting because we had

540
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:29,100
graduation. So I'm going to go

541
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,100
through some things that

542
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:31,100
happened actually in April. So

543
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,100
in April I was able to go

544
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:34,100
to the tour the Birdville

545
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,100
center of Technology in North

546
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:37,100
Richland Hills and Dr. Ford and

547
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:39,401
Edward Hicks escorted me.

548
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:45,601
But the tour was led by

549
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:49,100
Andrea Anderson, Director

550
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,601
of the CT CCMR and Joe

551
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:56,401
Rocker, the CTE coordinator.

552
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:59,100
During the visit,

553
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,100
we explored a variety

554
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:02,100
of the state of the art

555
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,100
classrooms and facilities that

556
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,100
support high demand career

557
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:07,100
pathways. And we're able

558
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,100
to hear directly

559
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,100
from the faculty about the

560
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:11,100
exciting learning experiences.

561
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,100
Some of the programs include

562
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:14,100
automotive technology, IT

563
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:16,100
networking, robotics,

564
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,100
cosmetology,

565
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,100
a video game design. Oh,

566
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:24,100
there's the law class. They

567
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:25,100
actually invited us to come

568
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,100
in and I was like no, no,

569
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,100
we're good. And they also have

570
00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:31,100
television and broadcasting.

571
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,100
But the highlight of the tour

572
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:37,100
was a live culinary competition

573
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:38,100
in which students from the

574
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,100
culinary arts program

575
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,100
participated

576
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:44,100
in a burger cook off. Students

577
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:45,100
developed an original burger

578
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:47,100
recipes and created their own.

579
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,100
And then they were presented

580
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,100
to the judges for them to

581
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,100
decide which one was the best.

582
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:56,100
They demonstrated creativity

583
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,100
and their culinary skills.

584
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:00,100
Looking ahead, Birdville ISD

585
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:03,100
and TCC Northeast Campus plan

586
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:05,100
to launch a P. Tech Early

587
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:06,100
College high school at the

588
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,100
Bechtel campus in 26-27 academic

589
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:12,401
year. This initiative will

590
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:17,100
serve 200 to 400 students

591
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,100
annually, all of whom will be

592
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:21,100
on track to complete a TCC

593
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,100
certificate and or associate's

594
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:25,100
degree. The visit highlighted

595
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:26,100
the strong partnership

596
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,100
between TCC and Birdville ISD

597
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:29,100
and the commitment

598
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:30,100
of preparing students for post

599
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:32,100
secondary success and workforce

600
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:35,100
readiness. So then I was

601
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:38,100
on double duty on May 2nd. I

602
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:41,601
don't know how I got through

603
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,100
that day because I had one

604
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,100
meeting at the Northeast campus

605
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,100
and then I had to hurry to

606
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:50,100
Seattle to a graduation.

607
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,100
But we'll start with the

608
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,100
Northeast campus. I met with

609
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,100
Naomi Vella and Esteban Serta

610
00:28:56,100 --> 00:28:58,100
with the Congolese Business

611
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:01,100
Chamber and we had a meeting

612
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:03,100
about how we could partner

613
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,100
together and help students

614
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,100
from the Congolese Business

615
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:09,601
Chamber. We went through a lot

616
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:13,100
of our programs. College for

617
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,100
Kids, Early College, High

618
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:16,100

619
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,100

620
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,401
Scholarships, federal and state

621
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,100

623
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,100
Admissions and foreign

624
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:32,401
transcript evaluations. It was

625
00:29:34,100 --> 00:29:36,100
a great meeting and it ended

626
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:39,100
with Ms. Naomi receiving gifts

627
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,100
from Junior Pompetti, the head

628
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,100
of the chamber and I felt

629
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,100
like it was a great learning

630
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,100
experience for me and a great

631
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:48,100
partnership going forward

632
00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:50,100
with the college. I look

633
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:52,100
forward to seeing a lot

634
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:54,100
of these students coming

635
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:56,100
into TCC as a result of this.

636
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,100
So I was pleased with that. So

637
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:00,100
I left there and hurried over

638
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:02,100
to the aviation transport. I'm

639
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:05,100
sorry, the Irma Johnson Hadley

640
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,401
center for Excellence for

641
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:13,100
Aviation, Transportation and

642
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,100
Logistics

643
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:17,100
for the graduation ceremony.

644
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:20,100
And it was of course

645
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,100
in the airplane hangar. The

646
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:24,100
ceremony was facilitated by

647
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:27,100
Dr. Michael Esquivel and then

648
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:29,100
the keynote speaker was

649
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:32,100
Jeremias Sala who was a 2019

650
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,100
graduate from the TCC Welding

651
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:36,100
Technology program. He's now a

652
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:39,100
supervisor and employer and he

653
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:41,100
stressed the importance of

654
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:43,100
continuous learning and hiring

655
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,100
individuals eager to grow in

656
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:46,100
high demand technical fields. I

657
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:48,100
will say a lot of these

658
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:50,100
students come back and get

659
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,100
extra certifications and with

660
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:53,100
each certification they just go

661
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:55,100
up in the workforce,

662
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,100
make more money and are

663
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:58,100
in high demand. David Skidmore

664
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:00,100
is the chief instructor of

665
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:02,401
the professional pilot program

666
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:06,100
and aviation. Easy for me

667
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,100
to say. Federal Aviation

668
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,100
Administrator Liaison. And he

669
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,100
announced the completion

670
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,100
of the programs. 93 students

671
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:15,100
across five different

672
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,100
disciplines. Aviation

673
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,100
maintenance, logistics supply,

674
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:24,100
chain management, professional

675
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:26,401
pilot, non destructive testing

676
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,100
and welding technology.

677
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:30,100
Of these, 56 participated in

678
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,100
the ceremony and received pins

679
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,100
symbolizing their transition

680
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,100
from student

681
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:36,100
to industry professional.

682
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:39,100
Which all of this just

683
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:41,100
exemplifies their perseverance

684
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,100
and skill and readiness

685
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:45,100
to work in their new fields.

686
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,100
Graduates of the Seattle

687
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:50,100
program are workforce ready and

688
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,100
upon completion many

689
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:54,100
of them are already employed

690
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:56,401
with such companies like

691
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:59,100
Cirrus Aircraft, Spirit

692
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,100
Airlines, Bell Helicopter,

693
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:03,100
American Airlines,

694
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,100
Gulfstream. The event marked

695
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,100
not only the completion

696
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:09,100
of academic journeys

697
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:10,100
but the beginning

698
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:11,100
of a meaningful career

699
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:13,100
in the aviation, transportation

700
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,100
and logistics industries. So

701
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,100
that was for the end of May.

702
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:20,100
And then in June, I was able

703
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:22,100
to go

704
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,100
to the police graduation. And I

705
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,100
will say I put the address in

706
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:35,100
my GPS and I was coming from,

707
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,100
I think McKinney and I thought,

708
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:38,100
oh,

709
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,100
this won't take me that long.

710
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:42,100
Well, I didn't really know

711
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:43,100
where it was, and it was in

712
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,401
Eagle Mountain Saginaw High

713
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:48,100
School Performing Arts center,

714
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,100
which was over an hour

715
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:52,100
from where I was. And that was

716
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,100
taking back roads. I had no

717
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,100
idea if GPS went out, I would

718
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:58,100
have been completely lost. I

719
00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:59,100
got there and lucky for me, the

720
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:00,100
sheriff was also late because

721
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,100
there was a train. So it was a

722
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:03,100
very. It was a beautiful

723
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:04,100
facility. If you have ever been

724
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,100
out to Eagle Mountain

725
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:07,100
Saginaw, their high school,

726
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:09,100
the Performing Arts center,

727
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,100
is just gorgeous. It was a

728
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:12,100
beautiful ceremony. It was the.

729
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:14,100
The ceremony was facilitated

730
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,100
by lead coordinator Che king

731
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,100
and then Dr. Damon Ng opened up

732
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,100
the ceremony,

733
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,100
welcoming the cadets.

734
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:23,100
Of course, Sheriff Bill

735
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:25,100
Weybourn was the keynote

736
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,401
speaker. And a couple

737
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:30,100
of things I didn't know about

738
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,100
him was that he began his

739
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:33,100
service with the Air Force in

740
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:35,100
1978 and went on to become one

741
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,100
of the youngest chiefs police

742
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,100
chiefs in Texas at age 25 and

743
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,100
worked in Dal Worthington

744
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:41,100
Gardens for over 30 years. And

745
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:43,100
some of the things he talked

746
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,100
about was of course,

747
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:48,100
his decades of experience. He

748
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,100
shared both lessons

749
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,401
in leadership, self awareness,

750
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:03,100
and noting that

751
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,100
in law enforcement,

752
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:07,100
discernment, patience and

753
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,100
critical thinking are essential

754
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:11,100
before taking action. He

755
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:13,401
encouraged graduates to lead

756
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,100
with integrity, serve

757
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:18,100
with humility,

758
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:22,100
and remain committed to the

759
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:25,100
communities they now have the

760
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,100
honor to serve. It was just a

761
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:31,100
wonderful event and as always,

762
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,100
there's the pinning where

763
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:34,100
someone special in their life

764
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,100
will pin their badge on them

765
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:36,100
for the very first time. I also

766
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:38,100
want to note that there were

767
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,100
16 graduates and they were all

768
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:41,100
going

769
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,100
to different departments. That

770
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:44,100
picture is

771
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,100
of the sheriff's department.

772
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,100
So we had quite a few going

773
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:47,100
to the sheriff's department,

774
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:49,100
but we also had graduates going

775
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:50,100
to the Halton City Police

776
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,100
Department, the Irving Police

777
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:53,100
Department, DFW Airport

778
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:54,100
Police, Stephenville Police

779
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:55,100
Department, Dallas Rapid

780
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,100
Transit, North Lake Police

781
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:58,100
Department, and the Flower

782
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,100
Mound Police Department. And I

783
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,100
just want to say every one

784
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,100
of these cadets goes

785
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:04,100
through a rigorous 22 weeks.

786
00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:06,100
They are all day in classes and

787
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,100
these classes are lot. A lot

788
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:10,100
of times are very physical.

789
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,100
And then at night they go home

790
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:13,100
and study so they can pass

791
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:15,100
their exam. So it's very

792
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,401
rigorous. And they had 16

793
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,100
cadets pass the test the first

794
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:22,100
time and all graduated. So I'm

795
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:25,601
very proud of them. And I

796
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,100
believe that's all. Thank you.

797
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:34,100
>> Thank you, Ms. Wood. Ms.

798
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:36,100
Law.

799
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:39,100
>> I've just been busy studying

800
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,100
TCC, trying to get a handle

801
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:43,401
on things. Thank you.

802
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,100
>> That'll keep you busy

803
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:48,100
for sure. Well, I have one

804
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:49,100
important item to report on.

805
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:53,100
Ms. Ayala was not able to be

806
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:55,100
with us

807
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:57,100
at our board meeting last month

808
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,100
but that doesn't mean that you

809
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,100
get out of listening to us.

810
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:04,100
Thank you

811
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:05,100
for your exceptional years of

812
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:08,100
service as the board president.

813
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,100
So if you will indulge me, I'd

814
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:12,100
like to say some things

815
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:15,100
about my friend and colleague,

816
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:17,100
Theresa Ayala. I wanted

817
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:19,100
to take a moment to recognize

818
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:20,100
and sincerely thank Teresa

819
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:22,100
Ayala for her leadership and

820
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:24,100
service as our board president.

821
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,100
Theresa, you have led

822
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,100
with heart and

823
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:29,100
with a deep belief

824
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:31,100
in the mission of Tarrant

825
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:33,100
County College. Your time as

826
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:35,100
president wasn't just

827
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:37,100
about meetings and motions,

828
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:38,100
although that was a lot of was

829
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:40,100
about people. You've kept

830
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,100
students at the center

831
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,100
of every decision, reminded us

832
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:45,100
of our why, and helped move

833
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,100
this institution forward

834
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:49,100
with compassion and conviction.

835
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:51,100
You stepped up during times of

836
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:53,401
both opportunity and challenge,

837
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:58,100
helping the college and this

838
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:00,100
board navigate complex issues

839
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:02,100
with a very steady hand and a

840
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,100
clear vision. And whether we

841
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,100
were facing tough decisions or

842
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:06,100
celebrating important

843
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,100
milestones,

844
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,100
your leadership grounded us,

845
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:10,100
and it kept us focused

846
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:12,100
on what matters most. Our

847
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:14,100
students. Your impact doesn't

848
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,100
stop there.

849
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:17,100
Through your dedication

850
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:19,100
to the TCC foundation,

851
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:20,100
you have literally opened doors

852
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:22,100
for countless students by

853
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,100
expanding scholarships and

854
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:25,401
connecting them to critical

855
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:28,100
community resources. Your kind

856
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:30,100
of service changes lives. And

857
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,100
we're just as thankful that

858
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:35,100
your leadership isn't ending.

859
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:36,100
We're thrilled you'll continue

860
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:38,100
to serve on our board,

861
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:40,401
bringing your insight, your

862
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:43,100
passion,

863
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,401
and your unwavering commitment

864
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,100
to tcc. So thank you,

865
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:50,100
Theresa, for your leadership,

866
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,100
your example, and the

867
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:53,100
difference that you will

868
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:55,100
inevitably continue to make.

869
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:56,100
And in addition

870
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:57,100
to a resolution that Dr.

871
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,100
Morrison recommended and the

872
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:00,100
board unanimously approved,

873
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:01,100
we have this as a token

874
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:03,100
of our appreciation.

875
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:05,100
>> Thank you.

876
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:09,601
>> I would like to give this

877
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:16,201
to you. So with that, I'd like

878
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:21,100
to give anyone else on the

879
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:24,100
board an opportunity who would

880
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,100
like to speak as well as

881
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:29,100
Theresa. You get your moment.

882
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:31,100
You are here.

883
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,100
>> Well, do you want me

884
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:36,100
to speak now?

885
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,100
>> Sure.

886
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:39,100
>> I'm very surprised, so thank

887
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:40,100
you very much. I'm very humbled

888
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:41,100
by this. Thank each and every

889
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,100
one of you. It is an honor

890
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:46,100
to serve with these folks. It

891
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,100
really is. And I'm sorry I'm so

892
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:49,100
emotional, but I just. My son

893
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:51,100
just graduated

894
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:52,100
from high school,

895
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:54,100
so I'm just kind

896
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,100
of very excited about that.

897
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,100
But it Just, it's getting ready

898
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:00,100
for that has been an emotional

899
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:01,000
roller coaster.

900
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,100
But as I reflect on the four

901
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:04,100
years that I've served

902
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:07,100
in this capacity, I will say

903
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:08,000
that I have been inspired

904
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,100
really by the. That the board

905
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:12,100
has kept the students

906
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,100
at the heart of all the

907
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:15,100
decisions that we've made. And

908
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:17,100
I'm very inspired and proud

909
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,100
of that. Also, I've seen the

910
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:20,100
collaborative efforts that it

911
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:21,000
takes in order

912
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,100
to make this magic happen here

913
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:24,100
at this college. It's not just

914
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:25,100
the board,

915
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:26,100
it's the chancellor. It's the

916
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:27,100
relationship that we have

917
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,100
with the community, the

918
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:30,100
foundation, the staff,

919
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,100
everyone. So that's really

920
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:33,100
inspiring as well. And we have

921
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:35,100
evolved so much

922
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:36,100
over the past few years, and it

923
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,100
has taken that collaborative

924
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,100
effort and spirit in order

925
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,100
to keep up

926
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:44,100
with that evolution and to

927
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:46,100
really make that change

928
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,100
impactful. And so I will say

929
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:50,100
that thankfully and

930
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:52,100
fortunately, I've had the lens

931
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,100
of being able to be a student

932
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,100
here. I was an adjunct

933
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:59,100
instructor, serve as a trustee,

934
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:02,100
and then a board member

935
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:04,100
with these folks. And the board

936
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:07,100
chair has really been. It's

937
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:09,100
been moving and it's been an

938
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:10,100
honor. So thank you for that.

939
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,100
Appreciate that.

940
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:22,100
>> Dr. Morrison, I feel very

941
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:23,100
certain that you would like to

942
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,100
say some things.

943
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:27,100
>> I'll keep it short. I just

944
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:28,100
want

945
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:29,100
to say just looking forward

946
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:31,100
to your continued service.

947
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:32,100
>> Thank you.

948
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:33,100
>> Working with you to take us

949
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:35,100
to a new height

950
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,100
in our 60th year of success.

951
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,100
We certainly can't imagine what

952
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,401
Tarrant county would be

953
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:44,100
without Tarrant County

954
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:46,100
College. And I'm just pleased

955
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:47,100
to be a part

956
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,100
of a group that works

957
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:50,100

thank you for being a part

961
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:57,100
of it. Thank you.

962
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,100
>> Thank you so

963
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:01,100
much. Appreciate that.

964
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:04,100
>> I just have to say that I'm

965
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,100
glad that I just get

966
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:08,100
to do this to talk

967
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:11,100
to you instead of, like,

968
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,100
halfway down the dais

969
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:15,100
to be able to talk to you. So

970
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:16,100
congratulations. Thank you for

971
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,100
your time and serving as the

972
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,100
chair.

973
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,100

974
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:24,100
Thank you.

975
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:27,100
>> I just want to say thank

976
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:28,100
you. I know that you get a lot

977
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:30,100
of phone calls and you have a

978
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:31,100
lot of balls in the air, and I

979
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:33,100
just appreciate you always

980
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,100
taking the time to talk to us

981
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:36,100
and explain things. I was brand

982
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:37,100
new and you explained and you

983
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:38,100
took the time, and I just

984
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:40,100
really appreciate it. You've

985
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:41,100
met me on many occasions,

986
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:42,100
and I just couldn't have asked

987
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:43,100
for a better first few years

988
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:44,100
having you here. And I just

989
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:45,100
appreciate you. Thank you.

990
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:46,100
>> Thank you, Ms. Wood. Thank

991
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:47,100
you.

992
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:49,100
>> And I say ditto to

993
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,100
everything that everyone else

994
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,100
has said because you really

995
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,100
helped. When I got on,

996
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:55,100
was elected to the board wide

997
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:56,100
eyed. I don't mind using the

998
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:58,100
word ignorant when you don't

999
00:41:58,100 --> 00:41:59,100
know something. That's a level

1000
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:00,100
of ignorance. I was ignorant

1001
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:01,100
about what boards do and how

1002
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,100
they do it really. And you kind

1003
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,100
of helped me to walk

1004
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:05,100
through that. You would listen

1005
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,100
to my questions and help me

1006
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:08,100
to explain, understand what it

1007
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:10,100
was that we really did and how

1008
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:12,100
it really impacted lives

1009
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:13,100
of people and students. And so

1010
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:15,100
that's always been really

1011
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:17,100
important

1012
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,100
to me how you took the time

1013
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:20,100
to help me to understand how to

1014
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:22,100
grasp what the board's job and

1015
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:24,100
duties were. So I appreciated

1016
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:25,100
that so much. And you would

1017
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:28,601
always take my call whenever I

1018
00:42:29,100 --> 00:42:30,100
call.

1019
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:32,100
>> Thank you.

1020
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:35,100
>> If you couldn't take it

1021
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:36,100
right then, you always called

1022
00:42:36,100 --> 00:42:38,100
back thank you. And said, gave

1023
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:39,100
me the responses that would

1024
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,100
help me to be able to go

1025
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,100
to the next step. So appreciate

1026
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:44,100
you so much. Glad you're not

1027
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:45,100
gone. We still have that

1028
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:46,100
wisdom. Thank you here

1029
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:48,100
on the board.

1030
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:53,100
>> Thank you.

1031
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,100
Before we move

1032
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,100

Dakan, Chancellor LeBlanc and

Tonight, we're asking

1083
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:56,100
for a revision

1084
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:58,100

capitalization threshold from

1087
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:06,401
5,000 to $10,000. And this is

1088
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:09,100
to keep us in line with the

1089
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:11,100

We will still tag and inventory

1092

Items that are $500 and

1093
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:22,100
above and track those but our

1094
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:24,100
capitalization amount or the

1095
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:27,100
amount we record them as assets

1096
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:29,100
and depreciate them in our

1097
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:31,100
accounting records would be

1098
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:33,100
$10,000. Be glad

1099
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:35,100

1100
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,401

00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:08,100
and and they do require board

1146
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:10,100
approval. Update 49 reflects

1147
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:13,100
the additional revisions due

1148
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:16,100
to new laws from the 88th

1149
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:18,401
Texas legislative session and

1150
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:20,100
regulatory changes. Although

1151
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:22,100
Update 49 touches 48 policies,

1152
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:24,100
most of the changes are

1153
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:27,100
to legal policies. There are

1154
00:47:27,100 --> 00:47:29,401
only 12 local policy changes

1155
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,100
that the Board is being asked

1156
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:34,100
to approve tonight.

1157
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:37,100
In your board book, you have

1158
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,100
the redline and clean copies of

1159
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:42,100
each local policy you will be

1160
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:44,100
asked to adopt. You also have

1161
00:47:44,100 --> 00:47:47,100
the explanatory notes for the

1162
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:49,100
local policy changes included

1163
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:52,100
in update 49. It is recommended

1164
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:53,100
that the Board adopt Texas

1165
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:55,100
association

1166
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:56,100
of school boards update 49

1167
00:47:56,100 --> 00:47:58,100
for local policies as reflected

1168
00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:00,401
on the REDLINE versions

1169
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:03,100
of each policy. So let's talk

1170
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,401
about the updates included

1171
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:09,100
for the 12 local policies. And

1172
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:10,100
just for your reference, those

1173
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,401
policies that are highlighted

1174
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:16,100
in red are policies that are

1175
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:17,100
being deleted and those that

1176
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:19,100
are in yellow are those that

1177
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:22,100
have been added and those in

1178
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:24,100
gray are policies that have

1179
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:25,100
been revised. And again,

1180
00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:27,100
we're looking at 12 policies.

1181
00:48:27,100 --> 00:48:29,100
I'm going to talk

1182
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:31,100
about these policies

1183
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:33,100
in different groups groups. So

1184
00:48:33,100 --> 00:48:34,100
I'll be talking about the B

1185
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:36,100
policies that have been

1186
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:38,100
changed,

1187
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:40,100
which include six policies.

1188
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:41,100
The C policies which include

1189
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:44,100
There are two C policies

1190
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:45,100
included in this update. There

1191
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:47,100
is one D policy,

1192
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:49,100
one E policy and four policies

1193
00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:50,100
in the F policies Student

1194
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:52,100
Policies so first policy BCA

1195
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:55,100
Local, which has been updated

1196
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:57,100
to consolidate policy codes

1197
00:48:57,100 --> 00:49:00,100
bca, bcab, BCAC and BCAD

1198
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:02,100
into one policy. The updated

1199
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:04,401
policy outlines the selection

1200
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:07,401
process for board officers,

1201
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:10,401
including how to proceed

1202
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:14,100
in the event of vacancy. This

1203
00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:15,100
updated policy clarifies the

1204
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:16,100
respective duties of the

1205
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:18,100

00:49:18,100 --> 00:49:20,401
President and Secretary. BCB

1207
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:23,401
Local Updates to Address

1208
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:26,100
Board Committees. The policy

1209
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:28,100
specifies the actions a Board

1210
00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:30,100
must take

1211
00:49:33,100 --> 00:49:35,401
to form a committee,

1212
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:41,100

1213
00:49:41,100 --> 00:49:42,100
and how to dissolve a committee

1214
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:44,100
and policy. BCE Local is a new

1215
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:46,100
policy that addresses advisory

1216
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:47,100

1217
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:49,100
Committees provide non binding

1218
00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:51,100
advice and recommendations

1219
00:49:55,100 --> 00:49:57,100
to the Board. The recommended

1220
00:49:57,100 --> 00:49:59,100
language addresses the

1221
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:02,100

1223
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:06,100

1225
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:13,100

1232
00:50:26,100 --> 00:50:28,100

1233
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:30,100

1241
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:52,100

1252
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:14,100
the scope and applicability

1253
00:51:14,100 --> 00:51:15,100
of the prohibition

1254
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:18,100
on retaliation. Examples of the

1255
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:21,100

1256
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:24,100

for employees and also

1272
00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:57,100
President Dickine pointed out

1273
00:51:57,100 --> 00:51:58,100
at the work session that there

1274
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,100
were some references that also

1275
00:52:00,100 --> 00:52:02,100
needed to be updated

1276
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:03,100
in both DIA or

1277
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:05,100

1278
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:08,100

finally, Policy ECC Local

1282
00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:17,401
addresses course load and

1284
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:23,100
revised in response to updates

1285
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:25,100

1290
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:34,100
may drop and the exceptions

1291
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:35,100
to those limitations. Language

1292
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:37,100
has also been added

1293
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:39,100
to provide students information

1294
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:40,100

policy was developed

1302
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:54,100
in response to the federal

1303
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:56,401

a pretty robust discussion

1325
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:54,100
during the work session

1326
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,100
about these policy updates.

1327
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:57,100

1329
00:53:59,100 --> 00:54:01,100

00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:24,100

1336
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:26,100

Auditing Services at a Cost

1348
00:54:44,100 --> 00:54:46,100
of $159,000. Dr. Anglin.

1349
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:48,100
>> Thank you, President

1350
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:51,100
Decenn, Chancellor LeBlanc and

1351
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:53,100
trustees. Pam Anglin, Chief

1352
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:55,100
Financial Officer. Tonight we

1353
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:56,100
have amendment number five

1354
00:54:56,100 --> 00:54:59,100
with Weaver and Tidwell to

1355
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:01,100
provide our annual financial

1356
00:55:01,100 --> 00:55:03,100
statement auditing services

1357
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:06,100
at a cost of 159,000 in 2021.

1358
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:09,100
Per the recommendation

1359
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:11,401
of the audit committee,

1360
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:14,100
a request

1361
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:16,100
for qualifications was issued

1362
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:17,100
to review qualifications

1363
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:19,100
from auditing firms

1364
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:22,100
for the audit of the district's

1365
00:55:22,100 --> 00:55:24,100
annual financial statements.

1366
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:28,100
Six firms responded. They were

1367
00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:30,100
reviewed and the evaluation

1368
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,100
committee recommended and the

1369
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:34,100
board approved Weaver Tidwell

1370
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:37,100
as the preferred firm based

1371
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:39,100
on the evaluation criteria.

1372
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:41,100
This was for a two year period

1373
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:43,100
with the option

1374
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:46,100
to renew the agreement for up

1375
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:48,100
to three additional years

1376
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:50,100
in one year increments. This

1377
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:52,401
would be the third

1378
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:54,100
of those three years renewals.

1379
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:57,601
So we would need to put

1380
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:00,100
out an RFQ next year and relook

1381
00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:02,100
at the selection

1382
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:07,100
of an audit firm.

1383
00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:09,100
But tonight we're asking you

1384
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:10,100
to approve the final year

1385
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,100
of renewals

1386
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:13,100
on this agreement.

1387
00:56:16,100 --> 00:56:17,100
>> Are there any questions

1388
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:20,100
for Dr. Anglin? Hearing none.

1389
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:22,100
Is there a motion

1390
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:23,100
to approve?

1391
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:24,100
>> Move to approve.

1392
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:26,100
>> Motion for Ms. Wood.

1393
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,100
>> Second.

1394
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:29,100
>> Second from Dr. Morrison.

1395
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,401
Any discussion? All those

1396
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:33,100
in favor say aye.

1397
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:35,100
>> Aye.

1398
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:36,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

1399
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:37,100
carries.

1400
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:39,100
>> You're here for a while,

1401
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:41,100
Dr. Anglin, by the way. Item

1402
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:43,100
6d. Authorize Execution of an

1403
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:44,100
Agreement with Vision Builders

1404
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:47,100
in an Amount up to

1405
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:48,100
$1,387,214.00 for the

1406
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:50,100
Natatorium Structure and

1407
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:53,100
Envelope Restoration Project

1408
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:55,100
at South Campus. Dr. Anglin.

1409
00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:57,401
>> Thank you. The South

1410
00:56:58,100 --> 00:56:59,100
Campus Natatorium was

1411
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:01,100
originally constructed in

1412
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:02,100
1966. And in 2003, the original

1413
00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:04,100
concrete structure within the

1414
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:06,100
natatorium section was

1415
00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:11,100
demolished and a new steel

1416
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:13,100
framing system was installed

1417
00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:14,100
over the existing pool. That

1418
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:17,100
was in 2003. So after over 20

1419
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,100
years of perpetual exposure to

1420
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:24,401
a humid and corrosive

1421
00:57:25,100 --> 00:57:27,100
environment,

1422
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:29,100
the steel structure has

1423
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:30,100
degraded

1424
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,100
beyond the effectiveness

1425
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:33,100
of regular maintenance. And the

1426
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:34,100
interior steel structural frame

1427
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:36,100
system, piping and fasteners

1428
00:57:36,100 --> 00:57:37,100
have visible rust and damage.

1429
00:57:37,100 --> 00:57:39,100
In addition, the fiberglass

1430
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:41,100
panel system is visibly

1431
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:42,100
deteriorated and discolored.

1432
00:57:42,100 --> 00:57:44,100
We had the structure evaluated

1433
00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:46,100
and an assessment in 2018. And

1434
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:47,100
in 2022. An assessment of the

1435
00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:49,100
structure and building envelope

1436
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:51,100
was completed. In 2024, the

1437
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:53,100
repair

1438
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:57,100
of the envelope and structure

1439
00:57:57,100 --> 00:58:00,100
of this facility was adopted

1440
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:04,100
when you approved the August

1441
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:07,100
the budget in August 24 as a

1442
00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:08,100
project

1443
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,100
in the capital improvement

1444
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:13,100
plan. In April of 24, you

1445
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:18,401
approved a design services

1446
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,100
contract with Hofer, Wal

1447
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:23,100
Welker and they have completed

1448
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:25,100
the design

1449
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:27,100
with the overall intent

1450
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:29,100
to restore, protect and extend

1451
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:31,100
the useful life

1452
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:33,100
of this facility by replacing

1453
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:35,100
the degrading structural steel,

1454
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:37,401
fiberglass panel system and

1455
00:58:39,100 --> 00:58:41,401
associated elements. We put

1456
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:43,100
this out for bid in March

1457
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:45,100
of this year. And based

1458
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:47,100
on the bids received,

1459
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:49,100
we're recommending to you

1460
00:58:49,100 --> 00:58:51,100
Vision Builders as the best

1461
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:52,100
value for the college. The

1462
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,100
proposed request

1463
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:57,100
for construction services is

1464
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:59,100
$1,387,214. And that includes

1465
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:01,100
an owner controlled

1466
00:59:02,100 --> 00:59:04,100
contingency. The funding

1467
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:07,601
for this would come from Fund

1468
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:14,100
40 that funds our capital

1469
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:16,100
improvement plan.

1470
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:19,100
>> Are there any questions

1471
00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:22,100
for Dr. Anglin? Hearing none.

1472
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:23,100
Do I hear a motion

1473
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:24,100
to approve?

1474
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:25,100
>> Move.

1475
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:27,100
>> Motion to approve by Mr.

1476
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:28,100
Hornsby.

1477
00:59:28,100 --> 00:59:29,100
>> Second.

1478
00:59:29,100 --> 00:59:30,100
>> Second from Dr. Morrison.

1479
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:32,100
Any discussion? All those

>> Aye.

1482
00:59:34,100 --> 00:59:36,401
>> Any opposed? Motion carries.

1483
00:59:40,100 --> 00:59:42,100
>> Item 6e. Authorize

00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:56,100
>> This would be an amendment

1490
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:58,100
to our Construction Manager

1491

01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:02,100

01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:10,100
adopted an interlocal agreement

1501
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:19,100
on the Northwest and South

1502
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:21,100
campuses. And at that time you

1503
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:22,100
delegated authority to the

1504
01:00:22,100 --> 01:00:24,100

1505
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:26,100

01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:34,100
operating agreements between

1511
01:00:34,100 --> 01:00:35,100

on both the south and

1518
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:47,100
Northwest campuses. While it is

1519
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:49,100
our responsibility

1520
01:00:49,100 --> 01:00:50,100
to prepare the sites to receive

1521
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:53,100

01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:56,100
recall these are pre built

1523
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:59,100
buildings that will be modular

1524
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:02,401
buildings that will come

1525
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:04,100
in and be constructed

1526
01:01:04,100 --> 01:01:07,601
on the campus. To meet the

1527
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:10,100
critical schedule milestones

1528
01:01:14,100 --> 01:01:16,401
for the facility's development

1529
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,100
at both campuses. We selected

1530
01:01:24,100 --> 01:01:26,100
the Construction Manager

1531
01:01:28,100 --> 01:01:30,401
at risk delivery method.

1532
01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:32,100
In June of 2024, the board

1533
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,401
ratified the contract with

1534
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:37,100
Chambers engineering

1535
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:39,100
for the CMAR Pre Construction

1536
01:01:39,100 --> 01:01:42,100
Services. And that was for

1537
01:01:42,100 --> 01:01:43,100
17,500 on each campus. And

1538
01:01:43,100 --> 01:01:46,601
since June of 24 they have gone

1539
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:49,100
out for subcontractor bids for

1540
01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:52,100
the work that the college is

1541
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:55,100
responsible for at that site.

1542
01:01:56,100 --> 01:01:58,100
And we're coming

1543
01:01:58,100 --> 01:02:00,100
to you tonight with that

1544
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:01,100
guaranteed maximum price

1545
01:02:01,100 --> 01:02:04,100
for the South Campus of

1546
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:11,401
490,257.28. We will be coming

1547
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:14,100
back to you at a later date

1548
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:15,100
for the Northwest campus and

1549
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:18,100
the Northwest campus, we had

1550
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:21,100
to have some rezoning done

1551
01:02:22,100 --> 01:02:25,601
there for us to be able

1552
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:28,100
to use that space for a child

1553
01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:30,100
care facility and have another

1554
01:02:30,100 --> 01:02:31,100
entity operate it. And that

1555
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:33,100
zoning was approved

1556
01:02:34,100 --> 01:02:37,100
by the city this week. So we

1557
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:39,100
are full steam ahead on

1558
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:41,100
Northwest.

1559
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:45,401
>> Are there any questions

1560
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,100
for Dr. Anglin? Hearing none.

1561
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,401
Is there a motion

1562
01:02:52,100 --> 01:02:53,100
to approve?

1563
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:54,100
>> Move.

1564
01:02:54,100 --> 01:02:55,100
>> Motion from Dr. Morrison.

1565
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:57,100
>> Second.

1566
01:02:57,100 --> 01:02:58,100
>> Second from Ms. Wood. Any

1567
01:02:58,100 --> 01:02:59,100
discussion? All those

1568
01:02:59,100 --> 01:03:00,100
in favor say aye.

1569
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:01,100
>> Aye.

1570
01:03:01,100 --> 01:03:03,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

1571
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:05,100
carries.

1572
01:03:06,100 --> 01:03:07,100
>> Item 6f. Authorize

1573
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:09,100
Execution of an Agreement

1574
01:03:09,100 --> 01:03:10,100
with Freedom Construction

1575
01:03:10,100 --> 01:03:11,100
in an Amount up to

1576
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:12,100
$3,197,188.81 for the

1577
01:03:12,100 --> 01:03:14,100
Wayfinding and Signage

1578
01:03:15,100 --> 01:03:17,100
Implementation at the South and

1579
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:19,401
AW01(CEATL). Dr. Anglin.

1580
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:25,100
>> Thank you.

1581
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:27,100
So this will be the new

1582
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:29,100
wayfinding signage that we've

1583
01:03:29,100 --> 01:03:31,100
developed through the use

1584
01:03:31,100 --> 01:03:33,100
of an architectural firm. And

1585
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:36,100
then we went out for bids

1586
01:03:36,100 --> 01:03:38,100
to actually put the sign

1587
01:03:38,100 --> 01:03:40,100
to have the signage designed,

1588
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:42,100
built and implemented. It is

1589
01:03:42,100 --> 01:03:45,100
in the bond project at

1590
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:50,100
Northwest and Southeast. And so

1591
01:03:50,100 --> 01:03:52,100
our project will entail the

1592
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:55,100
remainder of the campuses. And

1593
01:03:55,100 --> 01:03:57,100
tonight we're coming to you

1594
01:03:57,100 --> 01:03:58,100
for the south campus and

1595
01:03:58,100 --> 01:04:00,100
for the Erma Johnson Hadley

1596
01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:03,100
center there at Alliance West

1597
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:05,100
Campus. In June of 24 you

1598
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:07,100
approved a professional

1599
01:04:10,100 --> 01:04:12,100
services contract with

1600
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:15,100
Elements of Architecture to

1601
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:17,401
provide the professional design

1602
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:19,100
services for applying the new

1603
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:21,100
wayfinding and design standards

1604
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:22,100
at Northeast South Trinity

1605
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:24,401
River Connect campuses and

1606
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:27,100
other off site location. The

1607
01:04:27,100 --> 01:04:28,100
proposed delivery is going

1608
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:30,100
to be in four phases. We're

1609
01:04:30,100 --> 01:04:32,100
looking tonight

1610
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:34,100
at phase one or package one,

1611
01:04:34,100 --> 01:04:36,100
which is South Campus and

1612
01:04:36,100 --> 01:04:38,100
Alliance West Campus. Package

1613
01:04:38,100 --> 01:04:40,100
two will cover Northeast and

1614
01:04:40,100 --> 01:04:42,100
Tarrant County Opportunity

1615
01:04:43,100 --> 01:04:45,100
Center. Package three

1616
01:04:45,100 --> 01:04:47,100
encompasses Trinity river and

1617
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:50,100
Trinity River East. And then

1618
01:04:50,100 --> 01:04:52,100
package four will involve the

1619
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:54,100
off site district,

1620
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:57,401
Multipurpose center and any

1621
01:04:58,100 --> 01:05:00,100
other remaining

1622
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:03,100
off site locations. On April

1623
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:06,100
7, we went out to bid and we

1624
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:08,401
received six bids. Freedom

1625
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:12,100
Construction was selected as

1626
01:05:12,100 --> 01:05:13,100
the best value

1627
01:05:13,100 --> 01:05:15,100
for the district to implement

1628
01:05:15,100 --> 01:05:17,100
wayfinding and signage

1629
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:19,100
for package one. And it is,

1630
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:21,100
it's 3,197,188.81 is the amount

1631
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:23,100
of the bid from Freedom. And

1632
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:24,100
then we have owner controlled

1633
01:05:24,100 --> 01:05:26,401
contingency attached to that

1634
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:29,100
of 10% which would be another

1635
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:31,100
319,718 88. This is our largest

1636
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:34,100
of the different phases. This

1637
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:39,100
will be the greatest cost

1638
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:46,601
of any of them because South

1639
01:05:49,100 --> 01:05:52,100
campus built in 1966 and it is,

1640
01:05:52,100 --> 01:05:54,100
it has more buildings than our

1641
01:05:54,100 --> 01:05:55,100
other campuses and more

1642
01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:58,100
signage. So we would ask

1643
01:05:59,100 --> 01:06:00,100
for your approval of Freedom

1644
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:02,100
Construction

1645
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:04,100
to do the wayfinding signage

1646
01:06:04,100 --> 01:06:06,100
at south and at Alliance

1647
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:08,100
West.

1648
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:13,100
>> Dr. Anglin, I may be looking

1649
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:14,100
at an outdated version. This is

1650
01:06:14,100 --> 01:06:17,100
for my clarification. The memo

1651
01:06:17,100 --> 01:06:19,100
that I'm looking at says

1652
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:21,100
3,000,516, 907.16. I know that

1653
01:06:27,100 --> 01:06:29,100
this is asking

1654
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:34,100
for slightly less.

1655
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:41,100
>> The 3,197,188.81 is the bid

1656
01:06:41,100 --> 01:06:43,100
of freedom and then there is

1657
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:45,401
319,718,88 which is the owner

1658
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:48,100
controlled contingency of 10%

1659
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:51,100
and those two together add up

1660
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:53,401
to the 3,516,907.69 that's in

1661
01:06:56,100 --> 01:06:58,100
the memo.

1662
01:06:59,100 --> 01:07:02,100
>> I think my version was also

1663
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:05,100
missing a couple of words. So

1664
01:07:05,100 --> 01:07:06,100
I'm going to restate the

1665
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:07,100
actual action to include all

1666
01:07:07,100 --> 01:07:09,100
of the right words. The motion

1667
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:12,100
that we are considering is

1668
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:15,100
authorize the execution of an

1669
01:07:15,100 --> 01:07:16,100
agreement with Freedom

1670
01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:19,100
Construction in an amount up

1671
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:21,100
to 3,197,188.81 for the

1672
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,100
wayfinding and signage

1673
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,401
implementation at the South

1674
01:07:27,100 --> 01:07:29,100
and Alliance

1675
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:33,401
West Campuses AW01(CEATL).

1676
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,100
Thank you.

1677
01:07:46,100 --> 01:07:48,100
>> President, can

1678
01:07:48,100 --> 01:07:50,100
you repeat that figure?

1679
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:52,100
Because I don't know that that

1680
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,100
was stated correctly.

1681
01:07:54,100 --> 01:07:56,100
>> $3,197,188.81.

1682
01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:59,100
>> Pam, you need to look

1683
01:08:00,100 --> 01:08:02,100
at that. You need to add the

1684
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:04,100
3,197,000 with the $319,000.

1685
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:08,601
So then what is the total?

1686
01:08:10,100 --> 01:08:12,100
>> It is 3,516,907.69.

1687
01:08:12,100 --> 01:08:16,100
>> Okay, so it's not here. So I

1688
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:18,100
will restate that one more

1689
01:08:18,100 --> 01:08:20,100
time. Authorized execution

1690
01:08:22,100 --> 01:08:25,100
of an agreement with Freedom

1691
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:31,100
Construction in an amount up

1692
01:08:31,100 --> 01:08:33,100
to $3,516,907.69 for the

1693
01:08:41,100 --> 01:08:42,100
wayfinding and signage

1694
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:44,100
implementation

1695
01:08:44,100 --> 01:08:45,100
at the south and Alliance

1696
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:47,401
West Campuses AW01(CEATL).

1697
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:52,100
>> Yes, that's correct.

1698
01:08:54,100 --> 01:08:56,100
>> I have a question.

1699
01:08:56,100 --> 01:08:58,100
>> Dr. Morrison.

1700
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:01,601
>> The alliance west. Is that an

1701
01:09:03,100 --> 01:09:05,100
official designation? I don't

1702
01:09:05,100 --> 01:09:06,100
know that I recall that

1703
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:09,100
terminology. I like the way it

1704
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:10,100
sounds but I'd just

1705
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:11,100
like clarification

1706
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:12,100
on that.

1707
01:09:12,100 --> 01:09:13,100
>> That is part of the

1708
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:14,100
wayfinding signage

1709
01:09:14,100 --> 01:09:15,100
to make it easier for students

1710
01:09:15,100 --> 01:09:16,100
to sign. It is still the Irma

1711
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:17,100
Johnson Hadley center,

1712
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:18,100
but the signage will be AW01.

1713
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:20,401
And for example, on

1714
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:28,401
Northwest, the buildings have

1715
01:09:30,100 --> 01:09:31,100
been renumbered NW 01, 02, 04.

1716
01:09:31,100 --> 01:09:33,100
It makes it easier for students

1717
01:09:33,100 --> 01:09:37,100
to locate. But that was part of

1718
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:39,100
the design and the

1719
01:09:39,100 --> 01:09:41,100
recommendations that were made

1720
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:43,100
during the work

1721
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:47,401
on the wayfinding signage.

1722
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:50,100
>> So did the board approve the

1723
01:09:50,100 --> 01:09:52,100
alliance west as a designation

1724
01:09:52,100 --> 01:09:55,601
or does the board need to?

1725
01:09:56,100 --> 01:09:59,100
>> It did. The approval package

1726
01:10:01,100 --> 01:10:03,100
was prior to.

1727
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:05,100
>> Okay, thanks.

1728
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:08,100
>> So it's nomenclature. He was

1729
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:09,100
in charge

1730
01:10:09,100 --> 01:10:11,100
of nomenclature.

1731
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:12,100
>> Yeah.

1732
01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:13,100
>> That's great. Thank you.

1733
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:15,401
>> Are there any other

1734
01:10:19,100 --> 01:10:21,100
questions for Dr. Anglin

1735
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:24,100
on this action? Hearing none.

1736
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:28,100
Is there a motion

1737
01:10:28,100 --> 01:10:30,100
to approve.

1738
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,100
>> So move.

1739
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:33,100
>> Motion from Dr. Morrison.

1740
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:35,100
>> Second.

1741
01:10:35,100 --> 01:10:37,100
>> Second from Mr. Hornsby. Is

1742
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:38,100
there any discussion? All those

1743
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:40,401
in favor say aye.

1744
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:42,100
>> Aye.

1745
01:10:42,100 --> 01:10:44,401
>> Any opposed? The motion

1746
01:10:45,100 --> 01:10:47,100
carries.

1747
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:50,100

1751
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:56,100
Up to $4,284,500.00 for

1752
01:10:56,100 --> 01:10:57,100
Construction Services at the

1753
01:10:57,100 --> 01:10:59,100
Northwest Campus for the Fire

1754
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:01,100
Training Center Renovations.

1755
01:11:06,100 --> 01:11:08,100
Dr. Anglin.

1756
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:09,100
>> Thank you. The Fire

1757
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:11,100
Training center at the

1758
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:12,100
Northwest campus was

1759
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:13,100
established in 2002. It serves

1760
01:11:13,100 --> 01:11:15,100
as a premier training facility

1761
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:17,100
for first responders and

1762
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,100
over the past 22 years, the

1763
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:21,401
facility has been maintained

1764
01:11:22,100 --> 01:11:24,100
and repaired to ensure

1765
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:26,100
operational status however,

1766
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:29,100
as you can imagine, 22 years

1767
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:31,100
old and props. We are at end

1768
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:33,100
of life on many

1769
01:11:33,100 --> 01:11:36,601
of those props. There's a lot

1770
01:11:37,100 --> 01:11:38,100
of simulation there. Our

1771
01:11:38,100 --> 01:11:40,100
simulation has become outdated.

1772
01:11:40,100 --> 01:11:42,100
So this will replace all

1773
01:11:42,100 --> 01:11:44,100
of those props. If you drive

1774
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:46,100
by the Northwest campus and the

1775
01:11:46,100 --> 01:11:48,100
Fire Training center,

1776
01:11:48,100 --> 01:11:50,401
you can see all

1777
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:53,100
of those wonderful props

1778
01:11:53,100 --> 01:11:54,100
out there. And you can tell

1779
01:11:54,100 --> 01:11:56,100
they've been there

1780
01:11:57,100 --> 01:11:58,100
for a while. So this will

1781
01:11:58,100 --> 01:12:00,100
update the fire training props

1782
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:02,100
to the most current simulation,

1783
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:04,100
the most current training

1784
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:06,100

1785
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:08,100
so that we can continue to be

the premier fire training

1787
01:12:10,100 --> 01:12:11,100
academy in the whole region.

1788
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:14,100
But the contract would go to

1789
01:12:14,100 --> 01:12:16,100

1790
01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:22,100
Facilities in an amount of

1791
01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:25,401

01:12:28,100 --> 01:12:29,100
bids on this project and it

1793
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:32,100

1795
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:41,100
>> Are there any questions

1796
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:43,100
for Dr. Anglin? Hearing none.

1797
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:45,100
Is there a motion

1799
01:12:47,100 --> 01:12:48,100
>> So moved.

1800
01:12:48,100 --> 01:12:49,100
>> Motion for Ms. Wood.

1801
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:51,100
>> Second.

1802
01:12:51,100 --> 01:12:53,100
>> Second for Ms. Pritchett.

1803

01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:35,100
welding lab renovation project

1821
01:13:35,100 --> 01:13:37,100
was added to our five year

1822

capital improvement plan and

1823
01:13:39,100 --> 01:13:40,100
approved by the board

1824
01:13:40,100 --> 01:13:42,100
of trustees in August of 2024.

1825
01:13:42,100 --> 01:13:45,100
You approved an agreement with

1826
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:47,100
for the design of it. And we're

1827
01:13:47,100 --> 01:13:49,100
working on moving it

1828
01:13:49,100 --> 01:13:52,601
to full capacity at 26 bays and

1829
01:13:53,100 --> 01:13:56,100
relocating welding gas tanks to

1830
01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:58,100
enhance safety and operational

1831
01:13:58,100 --> 01:14:00,401
efficiency. We are fully

1832
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:04,100
enrolled in welding and have a

1833
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:06,100

1835
01:14:11,100 --> 01:14:14,100
at the Alliance Center. This

1836
01:14:14,100 --> 01:14:16,100
contract agreement seeks

1837
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:18,100

with the smaller scope and

1846
01:14:40,100 --> 01:14:41,100
schedule and cost. So this cost

1847
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:43,100
would be 492,357.29. And it is

1848

to seek new proposals on that.

1881
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:59,100

01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:31,100
to the board for approval. The

1894
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:33,100
maximum allowable contract

1895
01:16:33,100 --> 01:16:35,100
value for any single Service

1896
01:16:35,100 --> 01:16:37,100
authorization is $500,000. And

1897
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:42,100
any services in excess of this

1898
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:44,100
amount would require a separate

1899
01:16:44,100 --> 01:16:46,100
request for proposals.

1900
01:16:48,100 --> 01:16:50,100
Aggregate spending is limited

1901
01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:51,100
to $3 million per fiscal year

1902
01:16:51,100 --> 01:16:53,100
in total use of the pool.

1903
01:16:53,100 --> 01:16:54,100
Board action will not be

1904
01:16:54,100 --> 01:16:56,100
required

1905
01:16:57,100 --> 01:16:59,100
for individual projects under

1906
01:16:59,100 --> 01:17:01,100
250,000, so long as they do not

1907
01:17:01,100 --> 01:17:03,100
collectively exceed the

1908
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:05,100
aggregate limitations. The job

1909
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:07,100
order contracting program

1910
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:10,100
process will be resumed

1911
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:11,100
with the issuance

1912
01:17:11,100 --> 01:17:13,100
of a new invitation

1913
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:14,100
for request for proposals

1914
01:17:14,100 --> 01:17:17,100
for fiscal year 2026. So we're

1915
01:17:21,100 --> 01:17:23,100
asking for our final renewal

1916
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:25,100
of our job order contract pool

1917
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:27,100
for trade masters agreements.

1918
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:29,100
>> Are there any questions? Is

1919
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:31,100
there a motion

1920
01:17:33,100 --> 01:17:35,100
to approve?

1921
01:17:35,100 --> 01:17:37,100
>> Move.

1922
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:40,100
>> Motion from Ms. Wood.

1923
01:17:40,100 --> 01:17:42,100
>> Second.

1924
01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:44,100
>> Second from Ms. Pritchett.

1925
01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:46,401
Any discussion? All those

1926
01:17:47,100 --> 01:17:49,100
in favor say aye.

1927
01:17:49,100 --> 01:17:51,100
>> Aye.

1928
01:17:51,100 --> 01:17:53,401
>> Any opposed? The motion

1929
01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:55,100
carries.

1930

01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:15,100
>> Good evening. President de

1941
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:17,100
Kind, Chancellor LeBlanc

1942
01:18:17,100 --> 01:18:18,100
Trustees. I am Shelly

1943
01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:20,100
Pearson, Vice Chancellor and

1944
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:21,100
Provost. This evening we are

1945
01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:23,100
recommending that the Board

1946
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,100
authorize the Chancellor or the

1947
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:26,100
Chancellor's designee to enter

1948
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:28,100
into a three into three year

1949
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:30,100
master agreements

1950
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:32,100
with multiple vendors to

1951
01:18:32,100 --> 01:18:33,100
provide communication access,

1952
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:35,100
real time translation or cart

1953
01:18:35,100 --> 01:18:37,100
interpreting services

1954
01:18:37,100 --> 01:18:39,100
for all campuses

1955
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:40,100
at an aggregate not

1956
01:18:40,100 --> 01:18:42,100
to exceed a total annual cost

1957
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:44,100
of 700,000. The American with

1958
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:46,100
Disabilities Act, ADA and

1959
01:18:46,100 --> 01:18:47,100
Section 504 of the

1960
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:49,100
Rehabilitation act requires the

1961
01:18:49,100 --> 01:18:50,100
college to provide qualified

1962
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:52,100
sign language interpreters or

1963
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:54,100
real time captioning

1964
01:18:54,100 --> 01:18:56,100
for the deaf and hard

1965
01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:58,100
of hearing community. We do

1966
01:18:58,100 --> 01:18:59,100
this by providing auxiliary

1967
01:18:59,100 --> 01:19:01,100
aids and services such as

1968
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:02,100
qualified interpreters, note

1969
01:19:02,100 --> 01:19:03,100
takers, real time transcription

1970
01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:05,100
services and other methods to

1971
01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:06,100
make this information

1972
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:08,401
accessible. To comply, TCC

1973
01:19:09,100 --> 01:19:10,100
currently contracts services

1974
01:19:10,100 --> 01:19:12,100
through third party vendors

1975
01:19:12,100 --> 01:19:14,100
rather than employing in house

1976
01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:15,100
interpreters and support staff.

1977
01:19:15,100 --> 01:19:17,100
The agreements are for a pool

1978
01:19:17,100 --> 01:19:19,100
of available vendors to pull

1979
01:19:19,100 --> 01:19:21,100
from in each service area.

1980
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:22,100
We've had challenges meeting

1981
01:19:22,100 --> 01:19:24,100
student needs due to regional

1982
01:19:24,100 --> 01:19:26,100
interpreter shortage and a

1983
01:19:26,100 --> 01:19:28,100
limited access

1984
01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:30,100
to contracted vendors

1985
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:32,100
during the 24-25 academic year.

1986
01:19:32,100 --> 01:19:34,100
So we've expanded those pools

1987
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:36,100
to alleviate that issue. We are

1988
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:38,100
also requesting an increase

1989
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:40,100
in the spend authority from

1990
01:19:40,100 --> 01:19:42,100
500,000 to 700,000.

1991
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:44,401
Historically, TCC has spent

1992
01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:47,100
spent approximately 500,000

1993
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:48,100
annually on these services. We

1994
01:19:48,100 --> 01:19:50,100
anticipate an increase

1995
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:52,100
in the number of students

1996
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:54,100
requiring these services as we

1997
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:56,100
increase enrollment and expand

1998
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:57,100
our dual enrollment population.

1999
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:59,100
So happy

2000
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:02,401
to answer any questions.

2001
01:20:03,100 --> 01:20:05,401
>> Are there any questions

2002
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:09,100
for Dr. Pearson?

2003
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:12,100
>> Ms. Law, I do have a

2004
01:20:12,100 --> 01:20:13,100
question. Approximately how

2005
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:14,100
many students would you say use

2006
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:16,100
these services?

2007
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:19,100
>> I have general numbers. So

2008
01:20:19,100 --> 01:20:21,100
let's see. 20,25

2009
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:25,100
to this point 33, 23, 24,

2010
01:20:27,100 --> 01:20:29,100
44. So about 30 to 45, 50. So

2011
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:32,100
annually. Thank you. Oh, yes,

2012
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:45,100
I take that back. Correct.

2013
01:20:46,100 --> 01:20:48,100
>> Okay.

2014
01:20:49,100 --> 01:20:51,100
>> Sorry. Making sure I'm

2015
01:20:51,100 --> 01:20:52,100
looking

2016
01:20:52,100 --> 01:20:54,401
at the right columns.

2017
01:20:55,100 --> 01:20:57,100
>> Are there any other

2018
01:20:57,100 --> 01:20:59,401
questions for Dr. Pierson?

2019
01:21:00,100 --> 01:21:01,100
>> Is there a motion

2020
01:21:01,100 --> 01:21:02,100
to approve?

2021
01:21:02,100 --> 01:21:03,100
>> Move.

2022
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:04,100
>> Motion from Mr. Hornsby.

2023
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:05,100
>> Is there a second?

2024
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:06,100
>> Second.

2025
01:21:06,100 --> 01:21:07,100
>> Second for Ms. Wood? Any

2026
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:09,100
discussion? All those

2027
01:21:10,100 --> 01:21:11,100
in favor say aye.

2028
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:13,100
>> Aye.

2029
01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:15,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

2030
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:17,100
carries.

2031
01:21:17,100 --> 01:21:18,100
>> Item 6k. Authorization of a

2032
01:21:18,100 --> 01:21:19,100
Memorandum of Understanding

2033
01:21:19,100 --> 01:21:21,100

01:21:30,100 --> 01:21:32,100
Trinity River Campus. Dr.

2040

Pearson.

2041
01:21:34,100 --> 01:21:36,100
>> I would also like

2042
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:38,100
to introduce Dr. Sean Madison

2043
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:40,100
and invite him

2044
01:21:40,100 --> 01:21:43,100
to come up co present. He is

2045
01:21:43,100 --> 01:21:45,100
the president of our Trinity

2046
01:21:45,100 --> 01:21:46,100
river campus,

2047
01:21:46,100 --> 01:21:48,100
which this involves. So we are

2048
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:49,100
seeking board authorization to

2049
01:21:49,100 --> 01:21:50,100
negotiate and execute a three

2050
01:21:50,100 --> 01:21:51,100

01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:53,100
understanding and lease

2052
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:54,100
agreement with Responsive Ed

2053
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:55,100
Texas. A little bit about

2054
01:21:55,100 --> 01:21:57,401
Responsive Ed. We are

2055
01:21:58,100 --> 01:21:59,100
recommending that we authorize

2056
01:21:59,100 --> 01:22:01,401
a three year agreement

2057
01:22:02,100 --> 01:22:04,100
for the Trinity river campus

2058
01:22:04,100 --> 01:22:06,401
to use 4,086 square feet

2059
01:22:08,100 --> 01:22:10,100
at a rate of $18 per square

2060
01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:12,100
foot with an annual cost of

2061
01:22:12,100 --> 01:22:14,100
$72,864 or $6,072 monthly and

2062
01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:16,100
actually not cost

2063
01:22:16,100 --> 01:22:19,100
but an annual lease amount

2064
01:22:19,100 --> 01:22:22,100
for Responsive Ed. Now a little

2065
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:24,100
bit about Responsive Ed.

2066
01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:27,601
Sorry. They are a Texas based

2067
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:31,100
nonprofit founded in 1998.

2068
01:22:31,100 --> 01:22:33,401
They operate over 100 campuses

2069
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:36,100

01:22:36,100 --> 01:22:38,100

2073
01:22:41,100 --> 01:22:42,100
of college partnerships.

2074
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:43,100
They're known for their early

2076
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:46,100
including programs with Lone

01:22:46,100 --> 01:22:48,100
Star College and Tyler Junior

2078
01:22:48,100 --> 01:22:49,100
College. The iSchool high

2079
01:22:49,100 --> 01:22:52,100
model. It's a brand. It's part

2080
01:22:52,100 --> 01:22:53,100
of their brand. So I want to

2081
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:55,100
make sure I'm getting it

2082
01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:56,100
correctly. Enables students to

2083
01:22:56,100 --> 01:22:59,601
earn both a high school diploma

2084
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:03,100
and an associate degree. They

2085
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:05,100
are mastery based so they have

2086
01:23:05,100 --> 01:23:07,100
flexible learning structures

2087
01:23:08,100 --> 01:23:09,100
where students are required

2088
01:23:09,100 --> 01:23:11,100
to pass or master skills

2089
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:13,100
before they move on to the next

2090
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:15,100
skill or the next area. The

2091
01:23:15,100 --> 01:23:17,100
programs also emphasize

2092
01:23:20,100 --> 01:23:22,100
individualized academic

2093
01:23:22,100 --> 01:23:24,100
supports and real world

2094
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:26,100
readiness. They have a strong

2095
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:28,100
alignment

2096
01:23:28,100 --> 01:23:30,100
with teachers mission Our

2097
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:32,100
mission around access,

2098
01:23:33,100 --> 01:23:35,100
equity and success for

2099
01:23:35,100 --> 01:23:37,100
different student populations

2100
01:23:37,100 --> 01:23:39,100
seeking different opportunities

2101
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:42,100
and different learning styles.

2102
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:43,100
Responsive Ed's adaptive

2103
01:23:43,100 --> 01:23:45,100
approach supports first

2104
01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:46,100
generation and non traditional

2105
01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:48,401
learners. They have again

2106
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:51,100
they're mastery based. They

2107
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,100
have blended learning. So it's

2108
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:55,100
a mix of digital and in person

2109
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:57,100
instruction and again,

2110
01:23:57,100 --> 01:23:58,100
tailored plans

2111
01:23:58,100 --> 01:24:01,100
to fit each student's needs.

2112
01:24:02,100 --> 01:24:03,100
We initially would start with

2113
01:24:03,100 --> 01:24:05,100
50 students this fall in a

2114
01:24:05,100 --> 01:24:06,100
college prep capacity or a dual

2115
01:24:06,100 --> 01:24:08,100
enrollment capacity while we

2116
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:09,100
work towards the early college

2117
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:11,100
high school designation

2118
01:24:11,100 --> 01:24:12,100
with the Texas Education

2119
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:14,401
Agency. Projected growth would

2120
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:17,100
be capped at about 400

2121
01:24:17,100 --> 01:24:18,100
students. At the Trinity river

2122
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:20,401
campus. There is a $1.37

2123
01:24:21,100 --> 01:24:23,100
million philanthropic support

2124
01:24:23,100 --> 01:24:24,100
grant from the Sid Richardson

2125
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:26,100
foundation and Fort Worth

2126
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:28,100
Education Partnership with

2127
01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:30,100
about a million dollars

2128
01:24:30,100 --> 01:24:32,100
remaining to fund the Trinity

2129
01:24:32,100 --> 01:24:34,100
river launch. Again, it

2130
01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:36,100
advances TCC's goals

2131
01:24:37,100 --> 01:24:40,100
in our access, readiness and

2132
01:24:40,100 --> 01:24:42,100
educational innovation and and

2133
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:44,100
it also supports alternatives

2134
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:46,100
for high potential students

2135
01:24:46,100 --> 01:24:49,601
within our service area. And I

2136
01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:52,100
also do owe a couple

2137
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:54,100
of follow ups

2138
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:56,100
from the work session so I want

2139
01:24:56,100 --> 01:24:58,100
to make sure that I capture

2140
01:24:58,100 --> 01:25:00,100
both of those.

2141
01:25:00,100 --> 01:25:02,100
So Trustee Wood had a

2142
01:25:02,100 --> 01:25:03,100
question

2143
01:25:03,100 --> 01:25:04,100
about the language that we had

2144
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:06,100
in the template regarding

2145
01:25:06,100 --> 01:25:07,100
undocumented students given the

2146
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:09,100
recent legislation.

2147
01:25:09,100 --> 01:25:10,100
So at your stations, you'll

2148
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:11,100
see that we have the templates

2149
01:25:11,100 --> 01:25:13,100
of updated. You'll see a red

2150
01:25:13,100 --> 01:25:14,100
line copy and a clean copy

2151
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:17,100
of our template. The agreements

2152
01:25:17,100 --> 01:25:20,100
that we have already executed

2153
01:25:20,100 --> 01:25:21,100
that sounds that we have

2154
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:23,100
already completed or that are

2155
01:25:23,100 --> 01:25:25,100
in place right now per general

2156
01:25:25,100 --> 01:25:27,100
counsel, we are able

2157
01:25:27,100 --> 01:25:29,100
to continue

2158
01:25:30,100 --> 01:25:32,100
with those agreements as is.

2159
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:34,100
When the law goes

2160
01:25:34,100 --> 01:25:35,100
into effect,

2161
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:37,100
it nullifies that language

2162
01:25:37,100 --> 01:25:39,100
in the agreement. So as we roll

2163
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:41,100
towards renewals,

2164
01:25:41,100 --> 01:25:42,100
we will put the renewals on the

2165
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:43,100
new template that removes that

2166
01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:45,100
language. Did I get that right?

2167
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:47,100
Okay.

2168
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:50,401
Trustee Pritchett had some

2169
01:25:53,100 --> 01:25:55,401
questions about the security

2170
01:25:57,100 --> 01:25:58,100
around our underage students

2171
01:25:58,100 --> 01:26:00,100
and generally

2172
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:01,100
on our campuses.

2173
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:03,100
For all of our early college

2174
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:04,100
high high school agreements we

2175
01:26:04,100 --> 01:26:06,100
have an operations manual and

2176
01:26:06,100 --> 01:26:08,100
this includes responsibilities

2177
01:26:08,100 --> 01:26:10,100
for both the ISDs and for the

2178
01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:11,100
Tarrant County College

2179
01:26:11,100 --> 01:26:14,100
Police. So the tea also has

2180
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:16,100
very strict requirements

2181
01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:17,100
for their side

2182
01:26:17,100 --> 01:26:19,100
of the operations. Responsive

2183
01:26:19,100 --> 01:26:21,100
Ed actually had a visit

2184
01:26:21,100 --> 01:26:22,100
to ensure that we were within

2185
01:26:22,100 --> 01:26:24,401
the TEA security compliance

2186
01:26:25,100 --> 01:26:27,100
parameters. And then our police

2187
01:26:27,100 --> 01:26:29,100
officers are very aware

2188
01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:30,100
of the high school students

2189
01:26:30,100 --> 01:26:32,100
on our campus and monitor

2190
01:26:32,100 --> 01:26:34,100
in various ways all of the

2191
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:36,100
early college high schools

2192
01:26:36,100 --> 01:26:38,100
Students have to wear a badge

2193
01:26:38,100 --> 01:26:39,100
name badge that's visible. We

2194
01:26:39,100 --> 01:26:41,100
have extensive cameras presence

2195
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:43,100
and so we feel that we have a

2196
01:26:43,100 --> 01:26:45,100
good program in place

2197
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:48,100
to ensure that they're safe.

2198
01:26:52,100 --> 01:26:55,100
So hopefully that answered the

2199
01:26:56,100 --> 01:26:59,100
questions that we brought up.

2200
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:03,100
>> Are there any additional

2201
01:27:03,100 --> 01:27:04,100
questions?

2202
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:06,100
>> I have one.

2203
01:27:06,100 --> 01:27:07,100
>> Ms. Wood.

2204
01:27:07,100 --> 01:27:08,100
>> So I'm looking at this

2205
01:27:08,100 --> 01:27:10,100
template and it's just a

2206
01:27:10,100 --> 01:27:12,100
clerical error, but it goes

2207
01:27:12,100 --> 01:27:13,100
from C to E. So you may want

2208
01:27:13,100 --> 01:27:16,100
to look at that. You took

2209
01:27:16,100 --> 01:27:18,100
out D, the next item should be

2210
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:19,100
D, not E. Then my next

2211
01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:21,401
question is, it looks

2212
01:27:23,100 --> 01:27:25,100
like there's 23 pages,

2213
01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:27,100
but we only received 10 of 23.

2214
01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:30,100
Is there something else that we

2215
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:31,100
didn't discuss?

2216
01:27:31,100 --> 01:27:33,100
>> The crosswalks.

2217
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:36,100
>> Oh, okay.

2218
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:38,100
>> There's quite extensive. It

2219
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:39,100
just talks

2220
01:27:39,100 --> 01:27:41,100
about the crosswalks and some

2221
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:43,100
of the addenda.

2222
01:27:47,100 --> 01:27:49,100
So this that you just gave

2223
01:27:49,100 --> 01:27:51,100
us, this is just a template.

2224
01:27:51,100 --> 01:27:53,100
But the real contract is the

2225
01:27:53,100 --> 01:27:56,100
one that's in our binder.

2226
01:27:57,100 --> 01:27:59,100
>> Yes. It has the responsive

2227
01:27:59,100 --> 01:28:00,100
ED language in it, I believe.

2228
01:28:00,100 --> 01:28:02,100
Okay, I'll have to. I would

2229
01:28:02,100 --> 01:28:03,100
look Responsive ED dual credit.

2230
01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:05,100
The real contract that you

2231
01:28:05,100 --> 01:28:07,100
have. The contract that you

2232
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:08,100
have in the binder is

2233
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:09,100
for their dual credit program.

2234
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:11,100
So we are working off of a dual

2235
01:28:11,100 --> 01:28:13,100
credit MOU as we work towards.

2236
01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:16,100
The template that you have is

2237
01:28:16,100 --> 01:28:19,100
the early college high school

2238
01:28:20,100 --> 01:28:21,100
that we would like

2239
01:28:21,100 --> 01:28:24,100
to enter in. And that's where

2240
01:28:24,100 --> 01:28:27,100
the lease agreement would be

2241
01:28:27,100 --> 01:28:29,100
attached.

2242
01:28:30,100 --> 01:28:32,100
>> So it looks like the same

2243
01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:34,100
contract just

2244
01:28:34,100 --> 01:28:37,100
with the omission of D

2245
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:39,100
under program details,

2246
01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:40,100
but it's not. I'm confused.

2247
01:28:40,100 --> 01:28:41,100
>> It will have the lease

2248
01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:43,100
agreement with it. So it will

2249
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:45,000
be this transitioned over into

2250
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,100
the early college high school

2251
01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:49,100
format that would have the

2252
01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:50,100
facilities use agreement

2253
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:53,100
attached to it as well.

2254
01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:55,100
>> Ms. Law.

2255
01:28:55,100 --> 01:28:57,100
>> Thank you. I had a question

2256
01:28:57,100 --> 01:28:59,100
on page two, and this is just.

2257
01:28:59,100 --> 01:29:02,601
I'm just noticing now that I'm

2258
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:06,100
looking at, I guess the

2259
01:29:06,100 --> 01:29:08,100
agreement,

2260
01:29:08,100 --> 01:29:11,601
but it says effective fall of

2261
01:29:12,100 --> 01:29:14,100
2023, the College District

2262
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:16,100
shall waive tuition for all due

2263
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:18,401
credit enrollment students. Is

2264
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:20,100
that a correct reference

2265
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:22,100
to 2023?

2266
01:29:22,100 --> 01:29:23,100
>> Yes, ma' am.

2267
01:29:23,100 --> 01:29:24,100
>> For the new. In fall of

2268
01:29:24,100 --> 01:29:26,100
2023, we waived tuition for all

2269
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:28,100
dual credit students following

2270
01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:29,100
the House Bill 8. I would have

2271
01:29:29,100 --> 01:29:31,100
to go back and look

2272
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:33,100
at the date, but it is

2273
01:29:33,100 --> 01:29:36,100
in the fall of 23 when that

2274
01:29:36,100 --> 01:29:38,100
decision was made.

2275
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:41,601
>> Okay. I guess, I was just

2276
01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:44,100
reading that as if we're

2277
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:45,100
entering if we're going to

2278
01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:47,100
maybe approve this agreement.

2279
01:29:47,100 --> 01:29:49,100
That just seemed

2280
01:29:50,100 --> 01:29:52,100
like it was looking back in

2281
01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:54,100
time and that's a historical.

2282
01:29:54,100 --> 01:29:55,100
That's when we decided to go

2283
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:57,401
to waiving the tuition.

2284
01:29:59,100 --> 01:30:01,100
>> Okay, thank you.

2285
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:04,401
>> Are there any other

2286
01:30:07,100 --> 01:30:09,100
questions?

2287
01:30:09,100 --> 01:30:10,100
>> Yes, I do. A few different

2288
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,100
questions. Totaling 72,864

2289
01:30:13,100 --> 01:30:16,100
annually. Where does that money

2290
01:30:16,100 --> 01:30:18,100
go?

2291
01:30:19,100 --> 01:30:22,100
>> That's lease money that goes

2292
01:30:26,100 --> 01:30:27,100
into facilities.

2293
01:30:27,100 --> 01:30:28,100
>> Okay, facilities.

2294
01:30:28,100 --> 01:30:30,100
>> Then starting with 50

2295
01:30:32,100 --> 01:30:34,100
students, projected to grow

2296
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:35,100
to 400 and fully established.

2297
01:30:35,100 --> 01:30:37,100
Are those 400 students going

2298
01:30:37,100 --> 01:30:40,100
to be in that same 4,006 square

2299
01:30:40,100 --> 01:30:41,100
feet?

2300
01:30:41,100 --> 01:30:44,100
>> Yes, that is the whole space

2301
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:45,100
that's going to be designed

2302
01:30:45,100 --> 01:30:47,100
for them. So they will start

2303
01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:48,100
kind of sparse, but that's

2304
01:30:48,100 --> 01:30:50,100
where we're designing for is

2305
01:30:50,100 --> 01:30:52,100
that 400.

2306
01:30:55,100 --> 01:30:57,100
>> Okay.

2307
01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:00,100
>> So at some point,

2308
01:31:00,100 --> 01:31:02,100
there would be an additional

2309
01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:04,100
400 minor students on campus.

2310
01:31:04,100 --> 01:31:05,100
>> So typically with the early

2311
01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:06,100
college high school,

2312
01:31:06,100 --> 01:31:08,100
you have a designated space,

2313
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:10,100
and as they start taking

2314
01:31:10,100 --> 01:31:12,100
college credit courses,

2315
01:31:12,100 --> 01:31:14,100
they often move into the

2316
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:16,401
regular course classes. That's

2317
01:31:17,100 --> 01:31:19,100
what the early college high

2318
01:31:19,100 --> 01:31:21,100
school model is. That's what

2319
01:31:21,100 --> 01:31:22,100
you have in the other campuses

2320
01:31:22,100 --> 01:31:24,100
and taps as well. Our taps

2321
01:31:24,100 --> 01:31:27,100
students are here, so there's

2322
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:30,100
just that designated space

2323
01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:32,100
for when they start.

2324
01:31:32,100 --> 01:31:34,100
But then as they move into the

2325
01:31:34,100 --> 01:31:36,100
regular college courses,

2326
01:31:36,100 --> 01:31:38,401
they will be integrated

2327
01:31:39,100 --> 01:31:40,100
with the rest of the college

2328
01:31:40,100 --> 01:31:42,100
community.

2329
01:31:44,100 --> 01:31:46,100
>> I still have some concerns.

2330
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:47,100
Thank you for addressing the

2331
01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:48,100
questions regarding security

2332
01:31:48,100 --> 01:31:50,100
and safety with up to 400

2333
01:31:50,100 --> 01:31:52,100
students. I still have some

2334
01:31:52,100 --> 01:31:53,100
concerns because we haven't

2335
01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:54,100
seen that operating procedure

2336
01:31:54,100 --> 01:31:57,100
on the safety protocols. I

2337
01:31:58,100 --> 01:32:00,100
personally,

2338
01:32:00,100 --> 01:32:02,100
in good conscience,

2339
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:03,100
I can't approve this without

2340
01:32:03,100 --> 01:32:05,100
seeing what those actual

2341
01:32:05,100 --> 01:32:06,100
protocols are. And we can't put

2342
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:08,100
the students, the minor

2343
01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:10,100
students, at risk of any sort

2344
01:32:10,100 --> 01:32:12,100
of safety violations.

2345
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:15,100
>> Okay. So we can provide that

2346
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:17,401
document. With that said,

2347
01:32:21,100 --> 01:32:22,100
we have the same protocols with

2348
01:32:22,100 --> 01:32:24,100
the other early college high

2349
01:32:24,100 --> 01:32:25,100
schools that are already in

2350
01:32:25,100 --> 01:32:27,401
existence and have been

2351
01:32:29,100 --> 01:32:31,100
functioning well

2352
01:32:31,100 --> 01:32:33,401
at the college for

2353
01:32:34,100 --> 01:32:36,100
over a decade.

2354
01:32:37,100 --> 01:32:38,100
>> Sure. And I'm not disputing

2355
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:40,100
that, but I've never seen that

2356
01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:41,100
and I think if this is

2357
01:32:41,100 --> 01:32:43,100
particular. Although it's

2358
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:45,100
paralleling the other model,

2359
01:32:45,100 --> 01:32:47,100
this is a different model

2360
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:49,100
from the standpoint that this

2361
01:32:49,100 --> 01:32:51,100
is for a nonprofit organization

2362
01:32:51,100 --> 01:32:53,100
versus filtering through

2363
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:55,100
from the isd. I still would

2364
01:32:55,100 --> 01:32:57,401
like to see that.

2365
01:33:02,100 --> 01:33:03,100
>> Okay, we can do that. We can

2366
01:33:03,100 --> 01:33:05,100
provide that.

2367
01:33:05,100 --> 01:33:06,100
>> You want to?

2368
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:08,100
>> Yes, we can.

2369
01:33:14,100 --> 01:33:16,100
>> So just for clarification,

2370
01:33:16,100 --> 01:33:18,100
the safety and security model

2371
01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,100
that this particular agreement

2372
01:33:20,100 --> 01:33:23,100
would follow is the same that

2373
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:25,100
we currently see in our

2374
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:27,100
resident early college high

2375
01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:30,100
school, say at the southeast

2376
01:33:30,100 --> 01:33:33,100
campus or the south campus.

2377
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:34,100
>> Yes. They're TEA

2378
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:36,100
requirements.

2379
01:33:36,100 --> 01:33:38,100
>> Yes.

2380
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:40,100
>> Regardless

2381
01:33:40,100 --> 01:33:42,100
of public private.

2382
01:33:42,100 --> 01:33:45,100
>> Okay, thank you. Are there

2383
01:33:45,100 --> 01:33:47,100
any other questions? Hearing

2384
01:33:47,100 --> 01:33:48,100
none. Is there a motion

2385
01:33:48,100 --> 01:33:50,100
to approve?

2386
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:51,100
>> Move.

2387
01:33:51,100 --> 01:33:54,100
>> Motion from Mr. Hornsby. Is

2388
01:33:55,100 --> 01:33:58,100
there a second? Hearing no

2389
01:33:58,100 --> 01:34:00,401
second, the motion fails.

2390
01:34:04,100 --> 01:34:06,100
>> Thank you.

2391
01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:20,100
>> I'd like to revive the

2392
01:34:20,100 --> 01:34:23,100
motion. If there's a question

2393
01:34:24,100 --> 01:34:27,100
about why we're approving it,

2394
01:34:28,100 --> 01:34:29,100
let's have some discussion

2395
01:34:29,100 --> 01:34:31,100
on that. Instead of just

2396
01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:33,100
failing the motion. I want to

2397
01:34:33,100 --> 01:34:35,100
know what the concern is.

2398
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:37,100
>> So procedurally, in order

2399
01:34:37,100 --> 01:34:38,100
to do that, we need to have a

2400
01:34:38,100 --> 01:34:40,100
motion brought forward and

2401
01:34:40,100 --> 01:34:42,100
seconded. Once that's done,

2402
01:34:42,100 --> 01:34:44,100
we can discuss the motion.

2403
01:34:44,100 --> 01:34:47,100
>> Are you asking for us

2404
01:34:47,100 --> 01:34:49,100
to reintroduce the motion?

2405
01:34:49,100 --> 01:34:51,100
>> Yes.

2406
01:34:52,100 --> 01:34:54,100
>> Okay. Is there a motion

2407
01:34:54,100 --> 01:34:56,100
for this item?

2408
01:34:56,100 --> 01:34:58,100
>> Move.

2409
01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:01,100
>> There is a motion

2410
01:35:01,100 --> 01:35:03,100
to approve for Mr. Hornsby. Is

2411
01:35:03,100 --> 01:35:04,100
there a second?

2412
01:35:04,100 --> 01:35:06,100
>> I'll second it.

2413
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:07,100
>> Dr. Morrison seconds. Is

2414
01:35:07,100 --> 01:35:09,100
there any discussion?

2415
01:35:13,100 --> 01:35:16,100
>> So I understand it's new.

2416
01:35:16,100 --> 01:35:18,100
It's different. I just need

2417
01:35:18,100 --> 01:35:20,401
more discussion about it.

2418
01:35:22,100 --> 01:35:25,100
>> Can we impose on Dr.

2419
01:35:27,100 --> 01:35:29,100
Ashley?

2420
01:35:33,100 --> 01:35:34,100
>> Yes.

2421
01:35:34,100 --> 01:35:35,100
>> We do appreciate these

2422
01:35:35,100 --> 01:35:37,401
questions. And when the

2423
01:35:39,100 --> 01:35:40,100
question was asked

2424
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:42,100
at the work session,

2425
01:35:42,100 --> 01:35:44,100
we imposed on the Trinity

2426
01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:46,100
River Campus leadership

2427
01:35:46,100 --> 01:35:48,100
to do the due diligence

2428
01:35:48,100 --> 01:35:51,100
in reporting out. Dr. Ashley,

2429
01:35:51,100 --> 01:35:52,100
what did you learn?

2430
01:35:52,100 --> 01:35:54,100
>> Wayne Ashley, Vice

2431
01:35:55,100 --> 01:35:56,100
President for Academic affairs

2432
01:35:56,100 --> 01:35:58,100
at the trendy River Campus. I

2433
01:35:58,100 --> 01:36:00,100
reached out through my

2434
01:36:00,100 --> 01:36:01,100
educational partnerships

2435
01:36:01,100 --> 01:36:03,100
director to talk to Anthony

2436
01:36:03,100 --> 01:36:04,100
Edwards at Responsive Ed, who

2437
01:36:04,100 --> 01:36:06,100
responded

2438
01:36:06,100 --> 01:36:07,100
with their protocol. They have

2439
01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:09,100
a meop, which is just a

2440
01:36:09,100 --> 01:36:10,100
standard operations procedure

2441
01:36:10,100 --> 01:36:12,100
they have that follows in line

2442
01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:13,100
with the Texas Education

2443
01:36:13,100 --> 01:36:15,100
Agency House Bill 3 and another

2444
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:17,401
educational code. There's a

2445
01:36:20,100 --> 01:36:23,100
council that sets forth safety

2446
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,100
and protocols. Also reached

2447
01:36:25,100 --> 01:36:27,100
out to Captain Albritton

2448
01:36:27,100 --> 01:36:29,100
on the campus, who is going

2449
01:36:29,100 --> 01:36:31,100
to work with.

2450
01:36:31,100 --> 01:36:32,100
Within the guidelines of the

2451
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:34,100
Responsive Ed agreement for

2452
01:36:34,100 --> 01:36:35,100
their safety procedures and

2453
01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:37,100
protocols,

2454
01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:39,100
we have operated the tabs

2455
01:36:39,100 --> 01:36:41,100
on campus very effectively.

2456
01:36:41,100 --> 01:36:42,100
And so with his assurance,

2457
01:36:42,100 --> 01:36:44,100
we would be working

2458
01:36:44,100 --> 01:36:46,100
under that same guideline to

2459
01:36:46,100 --> 01:36:48,100
keep the students protected and

2460
01:36:48,100 --> 01:36:50,100
safe. And to reiterate there,

2461
01:36:50,100 --> 01:36:51,100
this is the same model we're

2462
01:36:51,100 --> 01:36:53,100
using

2463
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:54,100
at the existing campus right

2464
01:36:54,100 --> 01:36:55,100
now for tabs and

2465
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:56,100
at every other campus.

2466
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:58,100
Which we can provide. I can

2467
01:36:58,100 --> 01:37:00,401
provide that for you.

2468
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:02,100
>> Ms. Wood.

2469
01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:04,100
>> When we spoke about this

2470
01:37:04,100 --> 01:37:05,100
at the work session,

2471
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:06,100
I was told at that time that we

2472
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:09,100
would change the contract. And

2473
01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:10,100
to my knowledge, the contract

2474
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:12,100
hasn't been changed. So I'm

2475
01:37:12,100 --> 01:37:13,100
concerned that we're not.

2476
01:37:13,100 --> 01:37:17,100
Well, let me just say this. I

2477
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:18,100
don't feel comfortable voting

2478
01:37:18,100 --> 01:37:20,100
for something that doesn't

2479
01:37:20,100 --> 01:37:21,100
comply

2480
01:37:21,100 --> 01:37:23,100
with the federal court ruling,

2481
01:37:23,100 --> 01:37:24,100
especially when it could

2482
01:37:24,100 --> 01:37:26,100
jeopardize our federal funding.

2483
01:37:26,100 --> 01:37:28,100
So I'm extremely concerned

2484
01:37:28,100 --> 01:37:29,100
about that. So just want

2485
01:37:29,100 --> 01:37:32,100
to throw that out there.

2486
01:37:33,100 --> 01:37:35,100
>> Ms. Law?

2487
01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:38,100
>> I think the question

2488
01:37:38,100 --> 01:37:40,401
about safety, I mean,

2489
01:37:42,100 --> 01:37:43,100
is a good one. And I guess, I

2490
01:37:43,100 --> 01:37:45,100
mean, I'm hearing that the

2491
01:37:45,100 --> 01:37:47,100
safety protocols for this

2492
01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:48,100
program would be the same as

2493
01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:51,100
what goes on for programs and

2494
01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:53,100
other campuses. So if I'm

2495
01:37:53,100 --> 01:37:54,100
understanding correctly,

2496
01:37:54,100 --> 01:37:55,100
we will be bringing more

2497
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:57,100
students, minor students,

2498
01:37:57,100 --> 01:37:58,100
to this campus

2499
01:37:58,100 --> 01:38:00,100
under this program. So have

2500
01:38:00,100 --> 01:38:02,100
there. Does that mean that

2501
01:38:02,100 --> 01:38:03,100
we've hired additional security

2502
01:38:03,100 --> 01:38:05,100
personnel because

2503
01:38:05,100 --> 01:38:07,100
of that?

2504
01:38:08,100 --> 01:38:10,100
>> No. There is no concern

2505
01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:11,100
by the police department

2506
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:13,100
with regard

2507
01:38:13,100 --> 01:38:15,100
to the safety protocols

2508
01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:17,100
for this operation

2509
01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:18,100
on the campus. The police

2510
01:38:18,100 --> 01:38:20,100
department has no concerns

2511
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:22,100
with regard to Ms. Woods

2512
01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:24,100
question about the contract.

2513
01:38:24,100 --> 01:38:26,100
So the contract you're looking

2514
01:38:26,100 --> 01:38:27,100
at is not the contract that

2515
01:38:27,100 --> 01:38:29,100
will be executed. What I

2516
01:38:29,100 --> 01:38:31,100
believe they've included is a

2517
01:38:31,100 --> 01:38:32,100
template. But

2518
01:38:32,100 --> 01:38:34,100
before this contract is. And

2519
01:38:34,100 --> 01:38:36,100
you're not being asked

2520
01:38:36,100 --> 01:38:38,100
to approve that contract,

2521
01:38:38,100 --> 01:38:39,100
you're being asked

2522
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:41,100
to allow the college to

2523
01:38:41,100 --> 01:38:43,100
negotiate a contract and

2524
01:38:43,100 --> 01:38:44,100
execute a contract. So, the

2525
01:38:44,100 --> 01:38:47,100
contract that is executed will

2526
01:38:47,100 --> 01:38:49,100
not have that language that

2527
01:38:49,100 --> 01:38:51,100
you're concerned about

2528
01:38:51,100 --> 01:38:53,100
in the contract.

2529
01:38:53,100 --> 01:38:55,100
>> Thank you

2530
01:38:58,100 --> 01:39:00,100
for that clarification.

2531
01:39:00,100 --> 01:39:02,401
>> Are there any other

2532
01:39:03,100 --> 01:39:05,100
questions?

2533
01:39:06,100 --> 01:39:08,100
>> So let me ask the

2534
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:10,100
Chancellor.

2535
01:39:11,100 --> 01:39:13,100
>> Yes, ma' am.

2536
01:39:14,100 --> 01:39:15,100
>> Is this coming to the board

2537
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:17,401
as a recommended item

2538
01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:22,100
for approval?

2539
01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:23,100
>> It is.

2540
01:39:23,100 --> 01:39:25,100
>> Okay.

2541
01:39:27,100 --> 01:39:28,100
>> We supported greatly. There

2542
01:39:28,100 --> 01:39:30,100
was a lot

2543
01:39:30,100 --> 01:39:31,100
of due diligence done even

2544
01:39:31,100 --> 01:39:33,401
before considering this. And

2545
01:39:35,100 --> 01:39:37,100
Dr. Madison, Pearson and others

2546
01:39:37,100 --> 01:39:39,100
actually physically went

2547
01:39:39,100 --> 01:39:42,100
to visit Lone Star Community

2548
01:39:43,100 --> 01:39:44,100
College. Houston Community

2549
01:39:44,100 --> 01:39:46,100
College did a lot of homework

2550
01:39:46,100 --> 01:39:47,100
in advance to determine whether

2551
01:39:47,100 --> 01:39:50,100
this was a worthwhile program

2552
01:39:50,100 --> 01:39:52,401
for the students in

2553
01:39:53,100 --> 01:39:55,100
this community. We know it's

2554
01:39:55,100 --> 01:39:56,100
a new. It's a different kind

2555
01:39:56,100 --> 01:39:59,100
of program. And we knew that

2556
01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:01,401
individuals would struggle to

2557
01:40:02,100 --> 01:40:05,100
embrace it because it's a

2558
01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:11,100
change. What we learned from

2559
01:40:12,100 --> 01:40:15,601
Lone Star and others that are

2560
01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:19,401
implementing this program is

2561
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,100
that it's a big success

2562
01:40:24,100 --> 01:40:26,401
in terms of the

2563
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:30,100
students completing their

2564
01:40:31,100 --> 01:40:34,100
coursework quickly. It's a huge

2565
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:38,100
success in terms of House Bill

2566
01:40:38,100 --> 01:40:40,100
8 because they have a very high

2567
01:40:40,100 --> 01:40:41,100
completion rate. And we

2568
01:40:41,100 --> 01:40:43,100
recognized also that

2569
01:40:44,100 --> 01:40:45,100
from the very beginning,

2570
01:40:45,100 --> 01:40:47,100
there needs

2571
01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:49,401
to be information given

2572
01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:54,100
to the parents,

2573
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:59,201
to the students. This is not a

2574
01:41:01,100 --> 01:41:03,401
program for every type

2575
01:41:08,100 --> 01:41:09,100
of individual. It is really a

2576
01:41:09,100 --> 01:41:11,100
program

2577
01:41:11,100 --> 01:41:13,100
for someone that's focused,

2578
01:41:13,100 --> 01:41:16,100
wants to get through and move

2579
01:41:16,100 --> 01:41:19,100
on to the next pathway. So

2580
01:41:19,100 --> 01:41:21,401
that's what we discovered

2581
01:41:22,100 --> 01:41:24,100
in all the due diligence. We

2582
01:41:24,100 --> 01:41:27,100
also met with the Sid

2583
01:41:27,100 --> 01:41:29,100
Richardson foundation folks

2584
01:41:32,100 --> 01:41:35,100
to get clarity from them as to

2585
01:41:35,100 --> 01:41:37,100
why they thought it was a

2586
01:41:37,100 --> 01:41:39,100
worthwhile investment

2587
01:41:40,100 --> 01:41:43,100
on their part. And they said

2588
01:41:43,100 --> 01:41:46,100
they did the due diligence.

2589
01:41:48,100 --> 01:41:50,100
They found this organization to

2590
01:41:50,100 --> 01:41:52,100
be extremely organized and

2591
01:41:52,100 --> 01:41:54,100
responsible,

2592
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:57,100
and they were very impressed

2593
01:41:57,100 --> 01:41:59,100
with the outcomes. So our goal

2594
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:01,100
back

2595
01:42:02,100 --> 01:42:03,100
to being student centered,

2596
01:42:03,100 --> 01:42:05,100
our goal was simply

2597
01:42:05,100 --> 01:42:08,601
to provide a model for people

2598
01:42:09,100 --> 01:42:12,100
in this community that they

2599
01:42:12,100 --> 01:42:14,100
could choose from. They can

2600
01:42:14,100 --> 01:42:16,401
still have the traditional

2601
01:42:17,100 --> 01:42:19,100
models that are working and

2602
01:42:19,100 --> 01:42:21,100
that are fine. This is

2603
01:42:21,100 --> 01:42:23,100
something a little more

2604
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:24,100
innovative. And that was our

2605
01:42:24,100 --> 01:42:26,100
rationale for bringing it to

2606
01:42:26,100 --> 01:42:28,100
the board.

2607
01:42:30,100 --> 01:42:31,100
>> I think what I am hearing,

2608
01:42:31,100 --> 01:42:33,100
because I am hearing some

2609
01:42:33,100 --> 01:42:34,100
concern

2610
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:36,100
about the safety protocols.

2611
01:42:36,100 --> 01:42:37,100
Just if you could clarify this

2612
01:42:37,100 --> 01:42:39,100
point, although you have

2613
01:42:39,100 --> 01:42:41,100
differentiated the I school

2614
01:42:41,100 --> 01:42:44,100
high model as being something

2615
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,100
new for TCC.

2616
01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:51,100
>> Correct.

2617
01:42:51,100 --> 01:42:53,100
>> The concept and practice of

2618
01:42:53,100 --> 01:42:55,401
having resident early college

2619
01:42:57,100 --> 01:42:59,100
high school students across the

2620
01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:01,100
district and specifically

2621
01:43:03,100 --> 01:43:06,100
at this campus through taps is

2622
01:43:06,100 --> 01:43:07,100
not a new concept.

2623
01:43:07,100 --> 01:43:09,100
>> Correct.

2624
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:11,100
>> So security protocols for

2625
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:13,100
this particular group would be

2626
01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:14,100
consistent

2627
01:43:14,100 --> 01:43:16,100
with what we already have

2628
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:17,100
in place

2629
01:43:17,100 --> 01:43:18,100
across the district.

2630
01:43:18,100 --> 01:43:19,100
>> Correct.

2631
01:43:19,100 --> 01:43:21,100
>> Thank you.

2632
01:43:22,100 --> 01:43:23,100
>> I also want to remind all

2633
01:43:23,100 --> 01:43:25,100
of us that we've had college

2634
01:43:25,100 --> 01:43:27,100
for kids since the 80s,

2635
01:43:27,100 --> 01:43:30,601
and some of those children are

2636
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:34,100
as young as is six and seven

2637
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:35,100
years old,

2638
01:43:35,100 --> 01:43:37,100
and they've been safe. We know

2639
01:43:37,100 --> 01:43:41,100
who they are. We know to watch

2640
01:43:41,100 --> 01:43:44,100
out for them. We have a good

2641
01:43:44,100 --> 01:43:46,100
track record

2642
01:43:47,100 --> 01:43:49,100
of that.

2643
01:43:49,100 --> 01:43:50,100
>> I think College for kids,

2644
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:52,100
though, is a program

2645
01:43:52,100 --> 01:43:53,100
in the summer, specifically

2646
01:43:53,100 --> 01:43:54,100
for middle school students,

2647
01:43:54,100 --> 01:43:56,100
primarily and elementary.

2648
01:43:59,100 --> 01:44:01,100
>> Yeah, it is in the summer,

2649
01:44:01,100 --> 01:44:02,100
and it is. We'd like

2650
01:44:02,100 --> 01:44:04,100
to broaden, have more middle

2651
01:44:04,100 --> 01:44:06,100
school, but it's really

2652
01:44:06,100 --> 01:44:07,100
for the elementary.

2653
01:44:07,100 --> 01:44:10,100
>> Okay, so for elementary. But

2654
01:44:10,100 --> 01:44:11,100
that's a very specific program

2655
01:44:11,100 --> 01:44:12,100
in the summer where they're

2656
01:44:12,100 --> 01:44:14,100
very sequestered.

2657
01:44:16,100 --> 01:44:17,100
>> Correct.

2658
01:44:17,100 --> 01:44:18,100
>> Not necessarily. They're all

2659
01:44:18,100 --> 01:44:20,100
over the campuses.

2660
01:44:20,100 --> 01:44:21,100
>> Okay, let me restate that.

2661
01:44:21,100 --> 01:44:22,100
>> We keep an eye on them.

2662
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:24,100
>> That is not.

2663
01:44:25,100 --> 01:44:26,100
They are not integrating

2664
01:44:26,100 --> 01:44:28,100
with older ages. Even though

2665
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:29,100
the early college high school

2666
01:44:29,100 --> 01:44:31,100
that currently the students who

2667
01:44:31,100 --> 01:44:33,401
are under 18 are integrating

2668
01:44:36,100 --> 01:44:38,100
with college students that are

2669
01:44:38,100 --> 01:44:40,401
over 18. My understanding is

2670
01:44:43,100 --> 01:44:45,401
that they are supposed

2671
01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:48,100
to be completely.

2672
01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:49,100
With separate entrances, exits,

2673
01:44:49,100 --> 01:44:51,401
and maybe that's my

2674
01:44:52,100 --> 01:44:54,100
misunderstanding.

2675
01:44:54,100 --> 01:44:56,100
>> For the tea classroom.

2676
01:44:56,100 --> 01:44:58,100
For the K through 12. Their

2677
01:44:58,100 --> 01:45:00,100
high school instruction.

2678
01:45:00,100 --> 01:45:01,100
>> Yes.

2679
01:45:01,100 --> 01:45:03,100
>> Just the high school

2680
01:45:03,100 --> 01:45:04,100
instruction.

2681
01:45:04,100 --> 01:45:06,100
>> Once you start the college

2682
01:45:06,100 --> 01:45:08,100
coursework, then they integrate

2683
01:45:08,100 --> 01:45:09,100
throughout the campus.

2684
01:45:09,100 --> 01:45:11,100
>> So they're

2685
01:45:12,100 --> 01:45:13,100
only separated based

2686
01:45:13,100 --> 01:45:15,100
on the actual courses. So if

2687
01:45:15,100 --> 01:45:16,100
they're receiving high school

2688
01:45:16,100 --> 01:45:18,100
courses, they're separate. But

2689
01:45:18,100 --> 01:45:19,100
if they're receiving college

2690
01:45:19,100 --> 01:45:20,100
courses,

2691
01:45:20,100 --> 01:45:21,100
even though you could have a

2692
01:45:21,100 --> 01:45:22,100
15 year old sitting with a 25

2693
01:45:22,100 --> 01:45:23,100
year old,

2694
01:45:23,100 --> 01:45:24,100
is that correct?

2695
01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:25,100
>> Yes.

2696
01:45:25,100 --> 01:45:26,100
>> We have that

2697
01:45:26,100 --> 01:45:28,100
with dual credit as well. It's

2698
01:45:28,100 --> 01:45:30,100
not just the early college high

2699
01:45:30,100 --> 01:45:31,100
school. We have dual credit

2700
01:45:31,100 --> 01:45:32,100
students that are integrated,

2701
01:45:32,100 --> 01:45:34,401
not in large numbers,

2702
01:45:37,100 --> 01:45:38,100
but we do have them

2703
01:45:38,100 --> 01:45:39,100
in the same classes.

2704
01:45:39,100 --> 01:45:40,100
>> Okay, so maybe this is

2705
01:45:40,100 --> 01:45:41,100
raising a bigger question now

2706
01:45:41,100 --> 01:45:43,100
around the safety and security.

2707
01:45:43,100 --> 01:45:44,100
And I understand that there are

2708
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:45,100
protocols in place. Again, I

2709
01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:47,100
still haven't seen them. I

2710
01:45:47,100 --> 01:45:48,100
don't know if the other

2711
01:45:48,100 --> 01:45:49,100
trustees have seen that or not.

2712
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:51,100
With an additional 400 students

2713
01:45:51,100 --> 01:45:53,100
on this campus and no

2714
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:55,100
additional police officers to

2715
01:45:55,100 --> 01:45:57,100
help monitor the safety and

2716
01:45:57,100 --> 01:45:59,100
security

2717
01:45:59,100 --> 01:46:01,100
of the minor children,

2718
01:46:01,100 --> 01:46:03,100
I have a big concern about that

2719
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:04,100
and I'm being told that there

2720
01:46:04,100 --> 01:46:07,100
is, that there are procedures

2721
01:46:07,100 --> 01:46:08,100
in place. I've asked

2722
01:46:08,100 --> 01:46:10,401
to see those procedures.

2723
01:46:13,100 --> 01:46:14,100
>> Yep, we're happy

2724
01:46:14,100 --> 01:46:16,100
to give them. So starting

2725
01:46:16,100 --> 01:46:18,100
though with 50 and you have a

2726
01:46:18,100 --> 01:46:20,100
chance to monitor it and

2727
01:46:20,100 --> 01:46:22,401
increase staffing as needed,

2728
01:46:25,100 --> 01:46:27,100
correct?

2729
01:46:27,100 --> 01:46:29,100
>> Yes.

2730
01:46:31,100 --> 01:46:33,100
>> Ms. Wood.

2731
01:46:33,100 --> 01:46:34,100
>> This might be a question

2732
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:35,100
for the police department,

2733
01:46:35,100 --> 01:46:36,100
but how many officers are on

2734
01:46:36,100 --> 01:46:38,100
Trinity river campus

2735
01:46:38,100 --> 01:46:40,100
at any given time

2736
01:46:40,100 --> 01:46:41,100
during the school day? Does

2737
01:46:41,100 --> 01:46:42,100
anyone know the answer

2738
01:46:42,100 --> 01:46:44,100
to that?

2739
01:46:48,100 --> 01:46:50,401
>> Before we answer that

2740
01:46:55,100 --> 01:46:56,100
question, we'd like to go

2741
01:46:56,100 --> 01:46:57,100
in closed session if we're

2742
01:46:57,100 --> 01:46:58,100
going

2743
01:46:58,100 --> 01:47:00,401
to have that discussion.

2744
01:47:03,100 --> 01:47:04,100
>> Okay.

2745
01:47:04,100 --> 01:47:06,100
>> Do we want to or have the

2746
01:47:06,100 --> 01:47:07,100
ability to go into closed

2747
01:47:07,100 --> 01:47:08,100
session now and come back

2748
01:47:08,100 --> 01:47:09,100
out and go

2749
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:11,100
into closed session again?

2750
01:47:11,100 --> 01:47:14,100
>> We do, but we'd have to go

2751
01:47:14,100 --> 01:47:16,100
ahead and handle all closed

2752
01:47:16,100 --> 01:47:18,100
session.

2753
01:47:18,100 --> 01:47:19,100
>> We have other closed session

2754
01:47:19,100 --> 01:47:21,100
information.

2755
01:47:22,100 --> 01:47:23,100
>> So if we did that,

2756
01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:25,100
we'd have to handle both of the

2757
01:47:25,100 --> 01:47:26,100
closed session items because

2758
01:47:26,100 --> 01:47:27,100
of the tech from a technical

2759
01:47:27,100 --> 01:47:29,100
standpoint.

2760
01:47:31,100 --> 01:47:34,100
>> Okay, so is that what you

2761
01:47:34,100 --> 01:47:36,401
recommend that we do?

2762
01:47:37,100 --> 01:47:39,100
>> Well, if you need that, if

2763
01:47:39,100 --> 01:47:41,100
Ms. Woods needs that

2764
01:47:41,100 --> 01:47:43,100
information in order to vote

2765
01:47:43,100 --> 01:47:44,100
on this item, then yes,

2766
01:47:44,100 --> 01:47:46,100
we need to go

2767
01:47:46,100 --> 01:47:47,100
into closed session.

2768
01:47:47,100 --> 01:47:48,100
>> Ms. Pritchett, would you

2769
01:47:48,100 --> 01:47:49,100
like that information?

2770
01:47:49,100 --> 01:47:50,100
>> I would love that

2771
01:47:50,100 --> 01:47:52,100
information.

2772
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,100
The alternative is there a

2773
01:47:54,100 --> 01:47:56,100
reason that we have to vote on

2774
01:47:56,100 --> 01:47:57,100
this tonight and that we can be

2775
01:47:57,100 --> 01:47:59,100
given this information and that

2776
01:47:59,100 --> 01:48:00,100
we can address this again in

2777
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:02,100
August.

2778
01:48:05,100 --> 01:48:06,100
>> Their plan is to start in

2779
01:48:06,100 --> 01:48:08,100
August to have a fall cohort

2780
01:48:08,100 --> 01:48:09,100
of students, this being the

2781
01:48:09,100 --> 01:48:12,100
last board meeting that we

2782
01:48:12,100 --> 01:48:14,100
could use to vote on it. If we

2783
01:48:14,100 --> 01:48:16,100
don't, then we would have

2784
01:48:16,100 --> 01:48:18,100
to communicate with. We

2785
01:48:18,100 --> 01:48:19,100
couldn't work

2786
01:48:19,100 --> 01:48:20,100
within their timeline

2787
01:48:20,100 --> 01:48:21,100
to start this August or this

2788
01:48:21,100 --> 01:48:23,100
Fall.

2789
01:48:24,100 --> 01:48:25,100
>> So perhaps we have those

2790
01:48:25,100 --> 01:48:26,100
questions answered

2791
01:48:26,100 --> 01:48:28,100
in closed session.

2792
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,100
I'm good

2793
01:48:29,100 --> 01:48:30,100
with that.

2794
01:48:30,100 --> 01:48:32,100
>> I'm looking at you, Mr.

2795
01:48:32,100 --> 01:48:34,100
Allen.

2796
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:37,100
>> So we have a motion that has

2797
01:48:37,100 --> 01:48:38,100
been.

2798
01:48:38,100 --> 01:48:39,100
>> Yeah, I mean, you've got a

2799
01:48:39,100 --> 01:48:40,100
motion on the floor. You've got

2800
01:48:40,100 --> 01:48:43,100
a second. You can call

2801
01:48:43,100 --> 01:48:45,100
for a vote,

2802
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:47,100
but you do have a motion

2803
01:48:47,100 --> 01:48:48,100
on the floor,

2804
01:48:48,100 --> 01:48:51,100
and you do have a second.

2805
01:48:51,100 --> 01:48:53,401
>> So we're discussing this

2806
01:48:55,100 --> 01:48:57,100
motion. We're still

2807
01:48:57,100 --> 01:48:59,100
in discussion. I am going to

2808
01:48:59,100 --> 01:49:01,100
recommend that we table this

2809
01:49:01,100 --> 01:49:03,100
motion until

2810
01:49:07,100 --> 01:49:10,100
after the closed session, at

2811
01:49:10,100 --> 01:49:13,601
which point we will untable the

2812
01:49:14,100 --> 01:49:17,100
motion and it will be the first

2813
01:49:17,100 --> 01:49:18,100
item

2814
01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:19,100
of consideration upon return

2815
01:49:19,100 --> 01:49:21,100
to regular session.

2816
01:49:23,100 --> 01:49:24,100
>> Yes.

2817
01:49:24,100 --> 01:49:25,100
>> Before we do, I just have

2818
01:49:25,100 --> 01:49:27,100
two other questions unrelated

2819
01:49:27,100 --> 01:49:28,100
to the safety and security. If

2820
01:49:28,100 --> 01:49:31,100
I can ask those, or do I need

2821
01:49:31,100 --> 01:49:32,100
to wait?

2822
01:49:32,100 --> 01:49:34,100
>> I think we need to wait

2823
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:35,100
at this point.

2824
01:49:35,100 --> 01:49:36,100
>> Okay, that's fine.

2825
01:49:36,100 --> 01:49:37,100
>> Then we'll resume. We'll

2826
01:49:37,100 --> 01:49:39,100
untable the motion

2827
01:49:39,100 --> 01:49:41,100
to ask those questions. What I

2828
01:49:41,100 --> 01:49:43,100
do ask the board

2829
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:44,100
to be thoughtful about

2830
01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:46,100
during the closed session is

2831
01:49:46,100 --> 01:49:48,100
to get all of your closed

2832

2833
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:51,401
during closed session because

2834
01:49:52,100 --> 01:49:54,100
we will be unable to go

2835
01:49:54,100 --> 01:49:55,100
through this exercise for

2836
01:49:55,100 --> 01:49:58,100
technical reasons once we come

2837
01:49:58,100 --> 01:49:59,100
out of closed session. That

2838
01:49:59,100 --> 01:50:02,100

2841
01:50:10,100 --> 01:50:12,100
to table.

2842
01:50:15,100 --> 01:50:17,100
>> Yes.

2843
01:50:17,100 --> 01:50:18,100
>> Would you make that?

2844
01:50:18,100 --> 01:50:19,100
>> Okay.

2845
01:50:19,100 --> 01:50:20,100
>> Dr. Morrison moves

2846
01:50:20,100 --> 01:50:21,100
to table. All those

2847
01:50:21,100 --> 01:50:22,100
in favor say aye.

2848
01:50:22,100 --> 01:50:23,100

01:50:24,100 --> 01:50:26,100
to table this motion and go

2851
01:50:26,100 --> 01:50:28,100
into closed session. So let me

2852
01:50:28,100 --> 01:50:30,100
read the important things as we

2853
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:33,100
go into closed session. The

2854
01:50:33,100 --> 01:50:34,100

for Nursing Education

2903
02:47:52,100 --> 02:47:53,100
Resources including

2911
02:48:09,100 --> 02:48:12,100
Madison. I'm president of the

Trinity River Campus. Good

2913
02:48:14,100 --> 02:48:15,100
afternoon. President Dickine,

2914
02:48:15,100 --> 02:48:17,100
Chancellor LeBlanc and members

2915
02:48:17,100 --> 02:48:18,100
of the Board of Trustees.

2916
02:48:18,100 --> 02:48:19,100
On behalf of the Division of

2917
02:48:19,100 --> 02:48:20,100
Nursing, I'm requesting your

2918
02:48:20,100 --> 02:48:22,100
approval for the Chancellor

2919
02:48:22,100 --> 02:48:23,100
to or her designee to enter

2920
02:48:23,100 --> 02:48:24,100
into a two year agreement

2921
02:48:24,100 --> 02:48:26,100
with Assessment Technologies

2922
02:48:26,100 --> 02:48:27,100
Institute ATI. Excuse me. This

2923
02:48:27,100 --> 02:48:29,100
agreement at the said amount

2924
02:48:29,100 --> 02:48:31,401
would provide essential nursing

2925
02:48:32,100 --> 02:48:34,100
educational resources including

2926
02:48:34,100 --> 02:48:35,100
professional development, high

2927
02:48:35,100 --> 02:48:37,100
fidelity simulation training

2928
02:48:37,100 --> 02:48:39,100
and comprehensive support

2929
02:48:39,100 --> 02:48:41,100
for the next generation NCLEX,

2930
02:48:41,100 --> 02:48:43,100
which is the Nursing Licensure

2931
02:48:43,100 --> 02:48:44,100
examination. We are also

2932
02:48:44,100 --> 02:48:45,100
seeking the option

2933
02:48:45,100 --> 02:48:46,100
to renew this agreement for up

2934
02:48:46,100 --> 02:48:49,100
to three additional one year

2935
02:48:51,100 --> 02:48:53,401
terms. This investment directly

2936
02:48:58,100 --> 02:49:00,100
supports approximately 330

2937
02:49:00,100 --> 02:49:02,100
nursing students annually,

2938
02:49:02,100 --> 02:49:04,100
covering their entire five term

2939
02:49:04,100 --> 02:49:07,100
program at an approximate cost

2940
02:49:07,100 --> 02:49:09,401
of 3,500 per student. This

2941
02:49:10,100 --> 02:49:11,100
agreement provides

2942
02:49:11,100 --> 02:49:13,100
comprehensive coverage

2943
02:49:13,100 --> 02:49:14,100
for current enrollment. This

2944
02:49:14,100 --> 02:49:16,100
allocation also strategically

2945
02:49:16,100 --> 02:49:17,100
accommodates natural student

2946
02:49:17,100 --> 02:49:19,100
attrition and future program

2947
02:49:19,100 --> 02:49:21,100
growth,

2948
02:49:21,100 --> 02:49:22,100
leaving an additional balance

2949
02:49:22,100 --> 02:49:24,401
within the $1,245,100 total to

2950
02:49:26,100 --> 02:49:28,100
expand our student capacity as

2951
02:49:28,100 --> 02:49:29,100
needed. Excuse me. Tarrant

2952
02:49:29,100 --> 02:49:31,401
County College delivers high

2953
02:49:34,100 --> 02:49:36,100
quality,

2954
02:49:36,100 --> 02:49:38,100
affordable nursing education

2955
02:49:38,100 --> 02:49:39,100
through its Texas Board of

2956
02:49:39,100 --> 02:49:41,100
Nursing approved associate

2957
02:49:41,100 --> 02:49:44,100
degree in Nursing, ADN and

2958
02:49:45,100 --> 02:49:46,100
vocational nursing programs.

2959
02:49:46,100 --> 02:49:48,100
The ADN program is also

2960
02:49:48,100 --> 02:49:50,100
accredited by the

2961
02:49:50,100 --> 02:49:51,100
Accreditation Commission for

2962
02:49:51,100 --> 02:49:53,100
Education in Nursing, also

2963
02:49:53,100 --> 02:49:54,100
known as ACEN. And our

2964
02:49:54,100 --> 02:49:56,100
graduates consistently

2965
02:49:56,100 --> 02:49:57,100
demonstrate readiness for NCLEX

2966
02:49:57,100 --> 02:49:58,100
licensure and successful entry

2967
02:49:58,100 --> 02:50:00,100
into the healthcare workforce.

2968
02:50:00,100 --> 02:50:01,100
Aligning with its mission, the

2969
02:50:01,100 --> 02:50:03,100
college has traditionally

2970
02:50:03,100 --> 02:50:04,100
ensured that high need high

2971
02:50:04,100 --> 02:50:06,100
stakes programs like nursing

2972
02:50:06,100 --> 02:50:07,100
remain accessible and

2973
02:50:07,100 --> 02:50:09,100
affordable. A key initiative is

2974
02:50:09,100 --> 02:50:12,100
covering the cost of critical

2975
02:50:12,100 --> 02:50:13,100
learning resources such as ATI

2976
02:50:13,100 --> 02:50:15,100
software, effectively removing

2977
02:50:15,100 --> 02:50:16,100
financial barriers and

2978
02:50:16,100 --> 02:50:18,100
promoting student success.

2979
02:50:18,100 --> 02:50:21,100
In our region, the Nursing

2980
02:50:21,100 --> 02:50:23,100
division is a significant

2981
02:50:23,100 --> 02:50:25,100
contributor

2982
02:50:27,100 --> 02:50:29,100
to the healthcare workforce,

2983
02:50:29,100 --> 02:50:30,100
enrolling nearly 1,000 students

2984
02:50:30,100 --> 02:50:32,100
annually and generating over

2985
02:50:32,100 --> 02:50:34,100
5,000 course enrollments 92%

2986
02:50:34,100 --> 02:50:36,401
from the ADN program.

2987
02:50:38,100 --> 02:50:39,100
Annually, we award an average

2988
02:50:39,100 --> 02:50:41,100
of 320 nursing degrees and

2989
02:50:41,100 --> 02:50:42,100
certificates in high demand

2990
02:50:42,100 --> 02:50:43,100
areas directly addressing local

2991
02:50:43,100 --> 02:50:45,100
hospital and health care system

2992
02:50:45,100 --> 02:50:46,100
needs. But why ati?

2993
02:50:46,100 --> 02:50:48,100
Previously, our nursing program

2994
02:50:48,100 --> 02:50:50,100
utilized three separate

2995
02:50:50,100 --> 02:50:52,100
software platforms. ATI,

2996
02:50:53,100 --> 02:50:54,100
Elsevier and Hearst, which led

2997
02:50:54,100 --> 02:50:56,100
to significant challenges

2998
02:50:56,100 --> 02:50:59,100
for both students and faculty.

2999
02:51:02,100 --> 02:51:04,100
This fragmentation forced

3000
02:51:04,100 --> 02:51:06,100
students

3001
02:51:06,100 --> 02:51:08,401
to navigate multiple systems,

3002
02:51:09,100 --> 02:51:10,100
diverting focus from core

3003
02:51:10,100 --> 02:51:12,100
nursing content and resulted

3004
02:51:12,100 --> 02:51:14,100
in inconsistencies in

3005
02:51:15,100 --> 02:51:17,100
information and certainly

3006
02:51:17,100 --> 02:51:19,100
question presentation. To

3007
02:51:21,100 --> 02:51:23,401
enhance efficiency and the

3008
02:51:24,100 --> 02:51:26,100
student experience, we

3009
02:51:27,100 --> 02:51:28,100
initiated a competitive RFP

3010
02:51:28,100 --> 02:51:30,100
process to identify a single

3011
02:51:30,100 --> 02:51:31,100
primary platform. ATI was

3012
02:51:31,100 --> 02:51:33,100
selected due to its

3013
02:51:33,100 --> 02:51:34,100
comprehensive student centered

3014
02:51:34,100 --> 02:51:35,100
approach. Its platform offers a

3015
02:51:35,100 --> 02:51:37,100
full suite of tools including

3016
02:51:37,100 --> 02:51:38,100
content mastery exams, case

3017
02:51:38,100 --> 02:51:40,100
studies, NCLEX predictors,

3018
02:51:40,100 --> 02:51:41,100
and live review sessions, all

3019
02:51:41,100 --> 02:51:43,100
seamlessly embedded throughout

3020
02:51:43,100 --> 02:51:44,100
our curriculum. Additionally,

3021
02:51:44,100 --> 02:51:47,100
ATI provides robust support for

3022
02:51:47,100 --> 02:51:49,100
faculty development and

3023
02:51:53,100 --> 02:51:54,100
instructional design. Just a

3024
02:51:54,100 --> 02:51:56,100
little bit about the success

3025
02:51:56,100 --> 02:51:59,100
of our programs. Our recent

3026
02:51:59,100 --> 02:52:01,100
performance metrics underscore

3027
02:52:01,100 --> 02:52:02,100
the positive impact

3028
02:52:02,100 --> 02:52:04,100
of our programs. The VN program

3029
02:52:04,100 --> 02:52:06,100
achieved an outstanding 96.55%

3030
02:52:06,100 --> 02:52:08,100
NCLEX PN pass rate,

3031
02:52:08,100 --> 02:52:09,100
earning recognition from the

3032
02:52:09,100 --> 02:52:11,100
Texas Board of Nursing. Our ATN

3033
02:52:11,100 --> 02:52:14,100
program, which had the third

3034
02:52:14,100 --> 02:52:16,100
largest number

3035
02:52:17,100 --> 02:52:19,100
of first time test takers in

3036
02:52:19,100 --> 02:52:21,100
Texas last year, posted an

3037
02:52:21,100 --> 02:52:23,100
impressive 88.6% NCLEX RN pass

3038
02:52:23,100 --> 02:52:25,401
rate. So in summary,

3039
02:52:26,100 --> 02:52:29,100
the agreement with ATI, with

3040
02:52:29,100 --> 02:52:31,100
full implementation beginning

3041
02:52:31,100 --> 02:52:33,100
in fall 2025, represents our

3042
02:52:33,100 --> 02:52:35,100
continued support and

3043
02:52:35,100 --> 02:52:37,100
commitment

3044
02:52:37,100 --> 02:52:38,100
to academic excellence. It will

3045
02:52:38,100 --> 02:52:39,100
enhance NCLEX preparedness and

3046
02:52:39,100 --> 02:52:41,401
certainly provide faculty and

3047
02:52:43,100 --> 02:52:46,100
staff with a modern integrated

3048
02:52:46,100 --> 02:52:48,100
platform focusing on improving

3049
02:52:48,100 --> 02:52:50,100
student outcomes that in turn

3050
02:52:50,100 --> 02:52:52,100
will strengthen the healthcare

3051
02:52:52,100 --> 02:52:53,100
workforce across our region.

3052
02:52:53,100 --> 02:52:55,100
Prepared for any questions?

3053
02:52:55,100 --> 02:52:58,601
At least I think I'm prepared

3054
02:53:00,100 --> 02:53:02,100
for any questions.

3055
02:53:05,100 --> 02:53:06,100
>> Are there any questions for

3056
02:53:06,100 --> 02:53:08,100
Dr. Madison?

3057
02:53:09,100 --> 02:53:10,100
>> You had stated that

3058
02:53:10,100 --> 02:53:11,100
currently there are three

3059
02:53:11,100 --> 02:53:13,100
different programs that are

3060
02:53:13,100 --> 02:53:14,100
being used. Is that correct?

3061
02:53:14,100 --> 02:53:15,100
>> Yes.

3062
02:53:15,100 --> 02:53:16,100
>> Okay. Somewhat competing,

3063
02:53:16,100 --> 02:53:17,100
overlapping and with gaps

3064
02:53:17,100 --> 02:53:18,100
in there. So this would address

3065
02:53:18,100 --> 02:53:19,100
that?

3066
02:53:19,100 --> 02:53:20,100
>> Yes, ma' am.

3067
02:53:20,100 --> 02:53:21,100
>> Of the three programs that

3068
02:53:21,100 --> 02:53:22,100
are currently in use,

3069
02:53:22,100 --> 02:53:24,100
if you were to add those. The

3070
02:53:24,100 --> 02:53:25,100
cost of those three together,

3071
02:53:25,100 --> 02:53:27,100
do you have an approximate

3072
02:53:27,100 --> 02:53:29,100
amount of what those costs?

3073
02:53:29,100 --> 02:53:30,100
>> I do not have an approximate

3074
02:53:30,100 --> 02:53:32,100
amount because they follow the

3075
02:53:32,100 --> 02:53:34,100
students, so

3076
02:53:36,100 --> 02:53:37,100
to speak.

3077
02:53:37,100 --> 02:53:40,100
>> I don't know off the top

3078
02:53:40,100 --> 02:53:42,100
of my head.

3079
02:53:56,100 --> 02:53:57,100
>> I'm Pat Boudreau, the

3080
02:53:57,100 --> 02:53:58,100
contracting compliance manager

3081
02:53:58,100 --> 02:53:59,100
for IT,

3082
02:53:59,100 --> 02:54:00,100
and I manage all the software

3083
02:54:00,100 --> 02:54:02,100
for the district. So I pay all

3084
02:54:02,100 --> 02:54:03,100
the different nursing program

3085
02:54:03,100 --> 02:54:04,100
and it equals

3086
02:54:04,100 --> 02:54:06,100
about the same.

3087
02:54:06,100 --> 02:54:08,100
>> It's

3088
02:54:08,100 --> 02:54:09,100
through every two cohorts. So

3089
02:54:09,100 --> 02:54:10,100
we do. I'll be full disclosure.

3090
02:54:10,100 --> 02:54:11,100
I am paying off those remaining

3091
02:54:11,100 --> 02:54:12,100
programs as the cohorts

3092
02:54:12,100 --> 02:54:14,100
graduate. But this will be

3093
02:54:14,100 --> 02:54:15,100
about the same amount. Kind

3094
02:54:15,100 --> 02:54:17,401
of washes the same.

3095
02:54:20,100 --> 02:54:21,100
>> Thank you.

3096
02:54:21,100 --> 02:54:22,100
>> I can get the exact figures

3097
02:54:22,100 --> 02:54:23,100
if you need them.

3098
02:54:23,100 --> 02:54:24,100
>> No, that's okay. This was

3099
02:54:24,100 --> 02:54:25,100
very helpful.

3100
02:54:25,100 --> 02:54:27,100
>> Thank you.

3101
02:54:34,100 --> 02:54:35,100
>> Are there any other

3102
02:54:35,100 --> 02:54:37,401
questions about bill paying,

3103
02:54:40,100 --> 02:54:43,100
for example? Hearing none. Is

3104
02:54:45,100 --> 02:54:46,100
there a motion

3105
02:54:46,100 --> 02:54:47,100
to approve?

3106
02:54:47,100 --> 02:54:49,100
>> Move.

3107
02:54:49,100 --> 02:54:50,100
>> Ms. Pritchard, moved.

3108
02:54:50,100 --> 02:54:51,100
>> Second.

3109
02:54:51,100 --> 02:54:52,100
>> Second from Mr. Hornsby. Is

3110
02:54:52,100 --> 02:54:53,100
there any discussion? Hearing

3111
02:54:53,100 --> 02:54:54,100
none. All those

3112
02:54:54,100 --> 02:54:56,100
in favor say aye.

3113
02:54:56,100 --> 02:54:57,100
>> Aye.

3114
02:54:57,100 --> 02:54:58,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

3115
02:54:58,100 --> 02:55:00,401
carries. Thank you, Doctor.

the breakdown for each of the

3185
02:57:09,100 --> 02:57:10,100
six subscriptions and the cost

3186
02:57:10,100 --> 02:57:11,100
for each of the years. This

3187
02:57:11,100 --> 02:57:12,100
particular agreement was

3188
02:57:12,100 --> 02:57:14,100

RFP that we did back in

3192
02:57:19,100 --> 02:57:20,100
April. There were a couple of

3193
02:57:20,100 --> 02:57:22,100
vendors who submitted bids and

3194
02:57:22,100 --> 02:57:23,100
Ad Astra was selected based

3195
02:57:23,100 --> 02:57:25,100
on their value, based on the

3196
02:57:25,100 --> 02:57:27,100
evaluation criteria and based

3197
02:57:27,100 --> 02:57:28,100
on the cost that were submitted

3198
02:57:28,100 --> 02:57:31,601
by the two vendors. And you'll

3199
02:57:35,100 --> 02:57:36,100
see the two vendor information

3200
02:57:36,100 --> 02:57:37,100

>> Have they provided if we

3207
02:57:50,100 --> 02:57:51,100
were to do the two additional

02:57:54,100 --> 02:57:56,100
they given you an indication

3211
02:57:56,100 --> 02:57:57,100
of how much that would be?

3212
02:57:57,100 --> 02:57:59,401
>> We do have that

3213
02:58:00,100 --> 02:58:01,100
in the bid. We can provide it.

3214
02:58:01,100 --> 02:58:03,100
>> Okay.

3215
02:58:03,100 --> 02:58:04,100
>> There are optional years.

3216
02:58:04,100 --> 02:58:05,100
Optional year four and five and

3217
02:58:05,100 --> 02:58:06,100
that is included in the bid.

3218
02:58:06,100 --> 02:58:07,100
So we have that. Happy

3219
02:58:07,100 --> 02:58:09,100
to share.

3220
02:58:10,100 --> 02:58:11,100
>> Thank you. I'm assuming that

3221
02:58:11,100 --> 02:58:12,100
it's in the same range, each

3222
02:58:12,100 --> 02:58:14,100
annual,

3223
02:58:14,100 --> 02:58:15,100
perhaps slight increase

3224
02:58:15,100 --> 02:58:17,100
for CPI.

3225
02:58:17,100 --> 02:58:18,100
>> Good question. It is.

3226
02:58:18,100 --> 02:58:20,100
There's an adjustment.

3227
02:58:21,100 --> 02:58:23,100
>> Adjusted increase each year

3228
02:58:23,100 --> 02:58:25,100
and so you see the progression

3229
02:58:25,100 --> 02:58:26,100
and the adjustment within the

3230
02:58:26,100 --> 02:58:27,100
fourth and the fifth year. So

3231
02:58:27,100 --> 02:58:29,100
we have that for you.

3232
02:58:29,100 --> 02:58:30,100
>> Thank you.

3233
02:58:30,100 --> 02:58:31,100
>> Are there any other

3234
02:58:31,100 --> 02:58:33,401
questions? Hearing none. Is

3235
02:58:34,100 --> 02:58:35,100
there a motion

3236
02:58:35,100 --> 02:58:36,100
to approve?

3237
02:58:36,100 --> 02:58:38,100
>> Move.

3238
02:58:38,100 --> 02:58:40,100
>> A motion for Ms. Wood? Is

3239
02:58:40,100 --> 02:58:41,100
there a second?

3240
02:58:41,100 --> 02:58:42,100
>> Second.

3241
02:58:42,100 --> 02:58:43,100
>> Second from Ms. Pritchett?

3242
02:58:43,100 --> 02:58:44,100
Is there any discussion?

3243
02:58:44,100 --> 02:58:46,100
Hearing none. All those

3244
02:58:46,100 --> 02:58:47,100
in favor say aye.

3245
02:58:47,100 --> 02:58:48,100
>> Aye.

3246
02:58:48,100 --> 02:58:50,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

3247
02:58:50,100 --> 02:58:52,100
carries. Thank you, Mr.

3248
02:58:52,100 --> 02:58:54,100
Jimenez.

3249
02:58:56,100 --> 02:58:57,100
>> Item 6n. Authorize

3250
02:58:57,100 --> 02:58:59,100
Execution of an Agreement

3251
02:58:59,100 --> 02:59:00,100
with Tarrant County Tax

3252
02:59:00,100 --> 02:59:01,100
Assessor-Collector's Office

3253
02:59:01,100 --> 02:59:03,100
for Tax Collection Services

3254
02:59:03,100 --> 02:59:04,100
for Tax Year 2025. The New

3255
02:59:04,100 --> 02:59:06,100
Agreement will begin on

3256
02:59:06,100 --> 02:59:08,100
October 1, 2025. Dr. Anglin.

3257
02:59:13,100 --> 02:59:14,100
>> Thank you. President

3258
02:59:14,100 --> 02:59:15,100
Deccan, Chancellor LeBlanc,

3259
02:59:15,100 --> 02:59:17,100
trustees. Pam Anglin, Chief

3260
02:59:17,100 --> 02:59:18,100
Financial Officer. The

3261
02:59:18,100 --> 02:59:20,100
Tarrant County Tax Office and

3262
02:59:20,100 --> 02:59:21,100
the Tax Assessor Collector

3263
02:59:21,100 --> 02:59:23,100
collects Tarrant County

3264
02:59:23,100 --> 02:59:26,100
College taxes each year. The

3265
02:59:26,100 --> 02:59:27,100
existing three year agreement

3266
02:59:27,100 --> 02:59:29,100
for collection

3267
02:59:29,100 --> 02:59:30,100
of taxes expires September

3268
02:59:30,100 --> 02:59:32,100
30, 2025. The new three year

3269
02:59:32,100 --> 02:59:33,100
agreement will increase

3270
02:59:33,100 --> 02:59:35,100
collection rates

3271
02:59:35,100 --> 02:59:37,100
from the existing agreement.

3272
02:59:37,100 --> 02:59:40,100
The current rates have been

3273
02:59:40,100 --> 02:59:42,100
in place eight years. So we

3274
02:59:42,100 --> 02:59:43,100
have been eight years

3275
02:59:43,100 --> 02:59:45,100
without an increase

3276
02:59:46,100 --> 02:59:47,100
in the cost. Rates in the new

3277
02:59:47,100 --> 02:59:49,100
agreement are as follows.

3278
02:59:49,100 --> 02:59:51,100
$1.07 for parcels located

3279
02:59:51,100 --> 02:59:52,100
within Tarrant County, $2

3280
02:59:52,100 --> 02:59:54,401
for parcels located outside

3281
02:59:56,100 --> 02:59:58,100
Tarrant county, and $2

3282
02:59:59,100 --> 03:00:01,100
for PIDs, MUDs,

3283
03:00:05,100 --> 03:00:08,601
BIDs and MMDS. The rate for

3284
03:00:11,100 --> 03:00:13,100
2024 collection was $0.98, and

3285
03:00:14,100 --> 03:00:16,100
the increase is to $1.07 in

3286
03:00:16,100 --> 03:00:18,100
2025 for those parcels located

3287
03:00:18,100 --> 03:00:21,100
within Tarrant County. As of

3288
03:00:21,100 --> 03:00:23,100
May 17, we had approximately

3289
03:00:23,100 --> 03:00:25,100
1.9 million accounts

3290
03:00:25,100 --> 03:00:27,100
to be collected. The tax office

3291
03:00:27,100 --> 03:00:29,100
also provides us monthly

3292
03:00:29,100 --> 03:00:31,100
reports, paid assessment rolls,

3293
03:00:31,100 --> 03:00:33,100
delinquent assessment rolls,

3294
03:00:35,100 --> 03:00:37,401
and current assessment rolls.

3295
03:00:44,100 --> 03:00:45,100
So we're seeking your approval

3296
03:00:45,100 --> 03:00:48,100
of a new three year agreement

3297
03:00:48,100 --> 03:00:49,100
with the Tarrant County Tax

3298
03:00:49,100 --> 03:00:51,100
Assessor Collector.

3299
03:00:59,100 --> 03:01:00,100
>> Are there any questions

3300
03:01:00,100 --> 03:01:02,100
for Dr. England?

3301
03:01:03,100 --> 03:01:05,100
>> Yes. Just

3302
03:01:06,100 --> 03:01:08,100
for discussion. I know we

3303
03:01:08,100 --> 03:01:09,100
talked about this last time,

3304
03:01:09,100 --> 03:01:10,100
that if we were

3305
03:01:10,100 --> 03:01:11,100
to do our own collection,

3306
03:01:11,100 --> 03:01:13,100
which we have that option

3307
03:01:13,100 --> 03:01:14,100
to do,

3308
03:01:14,100 --> 03:01:15,100
that it would cost more. What

3309
03:01:15,100 --> 03:01:17,100
is that analysis and how much

3310
03:01:17,100 --> 03:01:18,100
more would it cost us

3311
03:01:18,100 --> 03:01:19,100
to do our own collection.

3312
03:01:19,100 --> 03:01:21,100
>> Okay. I don't have an

3313
03:01:21,100 --> 03:01:23,100
amount, but based

3314
03:01:23,100 --> 03:01:25,100
on the number of accounts to

3315
03:01:25,100 --> 03:01:27,100
collect and the dollar amount

3316
03:01:27,100 --> 03:01:29,100
collected,

3317
03:01:29,100 --> 03:01:31,100
I think we're saving money

3318
03:01:31,100 --> 03:01:34,100
by using the Tarrant County

3319
03:01:34,100 --> 03:01:36,100
Tax Assessor Collector and just

3320
03:01:36,100 --> 03:01:38,100
paying our proportion.

3321
03:01:38,100 --> 03:01:40,100
>> Are there any other

3322
03:01:40,100 --> 03:01:42,100
questions? Is there a motion

3323
03:01:42,100 --> 03:01:44,100
to approve?

3324
03:01:58,100 --> 03:01:59,100
>> Move to approve.

3325
03:01:59,100 --> 03:02:02,100
>> Ms. Wood approves. Is there

3326
03:02:02,100 --> 03:02:03,100
a second?

3327
03:02:03,100 --> 03:02:04,100
>> Second.

3328
03:02:04,100 --> 03:02:06,100
>> Mr. Hornsby, seconds. All

3329
03:02:06,100 --> 03:02:07,100
those in favor say aye.

3330
03:02:07,100 --> 03:02:08,100
>> Aye.

3331
03:02:08,100 --> 03:02:10,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

3332
03:02:10,100 --> 03:02:12,401
carries. Thank you, Dr.

3333
03:02:13,100 --> 03:02:15,100
Anglin.

3334
03:02:20,100 --> 03:02:23,100
>> We have removed item 6o

3335
03:02:23,100 --> 03:02:26,601
from the agenda. Do you want

3336
03:02:34,100 --> 03:02:36,100
to do this first, though? We

3337
03:02:36,100 --> 03:02:40,100
have to do this. We'll do this

3338
03:02:40,100 --> 03:02:41,100
one. The board concluded its

3339
03:02:41,100 --> 03:02:43,100
closed session, during which it

3340
03:02:43,100 --> 03:02:44,100
discussed the proposed sale

3341
03:02:44,100 --> 03:02:45,100
of college property pursuant

3342
03:02:45,100 --> 03:02:47,100
to Texas Local Government

3343
03:02:47,100 --> 03:02:49,100
Code Section 272.001. The item

3344
03:02:49,100 --> 03:02:51,100
concerns the sale

3345
03:02:52,100 --> 03:02:53,100

3346
03:02:53,100 --> 03:02:55,100
of land located at the corner

3347
03:02:55,100 --> 03:02:56,100

03:02:59,100 --> 03:03:00,100
Texas, on the Tarrant County

3350
03:03:00,100 --> 03:03:02,100
College District Northeast

3351
03:03:02,100 --> 03:03:04,100
campus. The proposed purchaser

3352
03:03:04,100 --> 03:03:05,100
is Covington Brothers

3353
03:03:05,100 --> 03:03:07,401
Property, LLC. And the

3354
03:03:08,100 --> 03:03:10,100
negotiated sales price is

3355
03:03:10,100 --> 03:03:11,100
$2,087,300, with proceeds

3356
03:03:11,100 --> 03:03:13,100
to go to Fund 40.

3357
03:03:13,100 --> 03:03:15,100
At this time,

3358
03:03:16,100 --> 03:03:19,100
the board will consider action

3359
03:03:22,100 --> 03:03:24,100
on this matter. I will now

3360
03:03:24,100 --> 03:03:26,100
entertain a motion.

3361
03:03:26,100 --> 03:03:29,100
>> I move to approve the sale

3362
03:03:29,100 --> 03:03:31,100
of 6.120 acres of land located

3363
03:03:31,100 --> 03:03:34,601

in the amount of $2,087,300 and

3370
03:03:49,100 --> 03:03:51,100
to approve the execution

3371
03:03:51,100 --> 03:03:53,100
of all documents necessary

3372
03:03:53,100 --> 03:03:54,100
to complete this sale,

3373
03:03:54,100 --> 03:03:56,100
with proceeds going to fund

3374
03:03:56,100 --> 03:03:58,100
40.

3375
03:03:59,100 --> 03:04:00,100
>> There is a motion on the

3376
03:04:00,100 --> 03:04:02,100
floor. Ms. Woods has made the

3377
03:04:02,100 --> 03:04:04,100
motion. Is there a second?

3378
03:04:04,100 --> 03:04:06,100
>> Second.

3379
03:04:07,100 --> 03:04:08,100
>> Mr. Hornsby has seconded.

3380
03:04:08,100 --> 03:04:10,100
Is there any discussion?

3381
03:04:10,100 --> 03:04:12,100
Hearing none. All those

3382
03:04:12,100 --> 03:04:13,100
in favor say aye.

3383
03:04:13,100 --> 03:04:15,100
>> Aye.

3384
03:04:15,100 --> 03:04:16,100
>> Any opposed? The motion

3385
03:04:16,100 --> 03:04:18,100
carries.

3386
03:04:22,100 --> 03:04:23,100
>> Item seven, the monthly

3387
03:04:23,100 --> 03:04:25,401
financial report. Dr. Anglin.

3388
03:04:28,100 --> 03:04:30,100
>> Thank you, President

3389
03:04:30,100 --> 03:04:32,100
Dakim. We're going to look at

3390
03:04:32,100 --> 03:04:33,100
our monthly financial report

3391
03:04:33,100 --> 03:04:34,100
as of the end of May of 2025.

3392
03:04:34,100 --> 03:04:36,100
You'll notice that our total

3393
03:04:36,100 --> 03:04:39,601
revenues at the end of May,

3394
03:04:40,100 --> 03:04:42,401
395,389,616. And that is up

3395
03:04:43,100 --> 03:04:45,100
13.7 million from what it was

3396
03:04:45,100 --> 03:04:46,100
at this time one year ago. And

3397
03:04:46,100 --> 03:04:48,100
then our expenses at the end

3398
03:04:48,100 --> 03:04:50,100
of May total 296,845,755. And

3399
03:04:50,100 --> 03:04:53,100
that our expenses are up 9.5

3400
03:04:54,100 --> 03:04:57,100
million from one year ago.

3401
03:04:57,100 --> 03:04:59,100
Which means our revenue

3402
03:04:59,100 --> 03:05:01,100
over expenses is running ahead

3403
03:05:01,100 --> 03:05:03,100
of last year by $4.2 million.

3404
03:05:03,100 --> 03:05:05,100
If we look at our detail

3405
03:05:05,100 --> 03:05:07,100
on our revenue,

3406
03:05:08,100 --> 03:05:11,100
you'll notice that our State

3407
03:05:11,100 --> 03:05:13,100
appropriations at the end of

3408
03:05:13,100 --> 03:05:16,100
May were 47.8 million. And we

3409
03:05:16,100 --> 03:05:18,100
received our final

3410
03:05:21,100 --> 03:05:23,401
appropriation payment in June

3411
03:05:25,100 --> 03:05:27,100
from the state. And we will see

3412
03:05:27,100 --> 03:05:28,100
a bump in our June payment

3413
03:05:28,100 --> 03:05:30,401
of almost 2.5 million because

3414
03:05:38,100 --> 03:05:41,100
of us surpassing the estimate

3415
03:05:47,100 --> 03:05:49,401
on our performance outcomes.

3416
03:06:00,100 --> 03:06:01,100
So we've done really well on

3417
03:06:01,100 --> 03:06:03,100
our performance outcomes and

3418
03:06:03,100 --> 03:06:06,100
that will also impact our state

3419
03:06:06,100 --> 03:06:08,401
appropriations for next year.

3420
03:06:09,100 --> 03:06:11,100
And we did see the numbers last

3421
03:06:11,100 --> 03:06:13,401
night from the coordinating

3422
03:06:15,100 --> 03:06:17,100
board and we should have 1.5

3423
03:06:17,100 --> 03:06:19,100
million more in state

3424
03:06:19,100 --> 03:06:21,401
appropriations next year than

3425
03:06:23,100 --> 03:06:24,100
this year.

3426
03:06:24,100 --> 03:06:27,100
Some very good news there. We

3427
03:06:27,100 --> 03:06:29,100
also still are lacking our fast

3428
03:06:29,100 --> 03:06:31,401
payments. They're expected in

3429
03:06:33,100 --> 03:06:35,100
June also,

3430
03:06:35,100 --> 03:06:36,100
but we've not received anything

3431
03:06:36,100 --> 03:06:38,100
from the state yet

3432
03:06:38,100 --> 03:06:40,100
on our fast payments

3433
03:06:40,100 --> 03:06:41,100
from fall or spring. So there

3434
03:06:41,100 --> 03:06:43,100
will be some additional money

3435
03:06:43,100 --> 03:06:45,100
that will be coming in

3436
03:06:45,100 --> 03:06:47,100
in there. Our tax revenue were

3437
03:06:47,100 --> 03:06:50,100
at 97.6% of what we had

3438
03:06:50,100 --> 03:06:52,100
projected as revenue and tax

3439
03:06:52,100 --> 03:06:55,100
collections. So doing very well

3440
03:06:57,100 --> 03:07:00,100
there. Our credit hour tuition,

3441
03:07:00,100 --> 03:07:02,100
we've already surpassed our

3442
03:07:02,100 --> 03:07:04,401
budget because our enrollment

3443
03:07:05,100 --> 03:07:07,100
has exceeded what we projected.

3444
03:07:07,100 --> 03:07:10,100
And then our non credit

3445
03:07:10,100 --> 03:07:12,401
tuition, we've already exceeded

3446
03:07:14,100 --> 03:07:16,100
our budget

3447
03:07:17,100 --> 03:07:19,100
on the community service side.

3448
03:07:19,100 --> 03:07:23,100
And I think we will hit our non

3449
03:07:23,100 --> 03:07:25,100
credit funded projected amount

3450
03:07:25,100 --> 03:07:27,100
by the end of August. Our

3451
03:07:27,100 --> 03:07:29,100
interest income still lower

3452
03:07:29,100 --> 03:07:31,100
than we had anticipated. And we

3453
03:07:31,100 --> 03:07:33,100
think we will be a little bit

3454
03:07:33,100 --> 03:07:35,100
shy of budget there. And then

3455
03:07:35,100 --> 03:07:37,100
other income, we will most

3456
03:07:37,100 --> 03:07:38,100
probably hit our projection

3457
03:07:38,100 --> 03:07:40,100
there. So we're

3458
03:07:40,100 --> 03:07:43,100
in really good shape overall

3459
03:07:43,100 --> 03:07:45,100
with income. Then we'll look

3460
03:07:45,100 --> 03:07:48,100
at our expenditures. I'll point

3461
03:07:49,100 --> 03:07:52,100
out here that nine months

3462
03:07:53,100 --> 03:07:54,100
through the end of May would be

3463
03:07:54,100 --> 03:07:56,100
75% of our budget. And so you

3464
03:07:56,100 --> 03:07:58,100
can look at the percentages

3465
03:07:58,100 --> 03:07:59,100
there and you'll see that we're

3466
03:07:59,100 --> 03:08:00,100
doing well being in line

3467
03:08:00,100 --> 03:08:02,100
with budgets. I would point out

3468
03:08:02,100 --> 03:08:04,100
our staff benefits there and

3469
03:08:04,100 --> 03:08:07,100
how close we are to that 75%

3470
03:08:07,100 --> 03:08:09,100
mark and we will be right

3471
03:08:09,100 --> 03:08:11,100
on target there. But all of our

3472
03:08:11,100 --> 03:08:13,401
numbers are looking really

3473
03:08:14,100 --> 03:08:16,100
well. Expenses total

3474
03:08:21,100 --> 03:08:23,100
296,845,755 or 9.5

3475
03:08:30,100 --> 03:08:32,100
million ahead

3476
03:08:32,100 --> 03:08:34,100
of where we were a year ago.

3477
03:08:34,100 --> 03:08:36,401
And I'll be glad

3478
03:08:39,100 --> 03:08:41,100
to answer any questions you

3479
03:08:41,100 --> 03:08:44,100
have on the financials and

3480
03:08:44,100 --> 03:08:46,100
at your seats there. You have a

3481
03:08:46,100 --> 03:08:47,100
report that we have promised

3482
03:08:47,100 --> 03:08:49,401
you on purchases between

3483
03:08:53,100 --> 03:08:55,100
100,000 and 250,000. We've

3484
03:08:55,100 --> 03:08:56,100
promised you those once a

3485
03:08:56,100 --> 03:08:58,100
quarter. So this would be

3486
03:08:58,100 --> 03:09:00,100
March 1st through May and give

3487
03:09:00,100 --> 03:09:04,801
you that to look at. And if you

3488
03:09:05,100 --> 03:09:08,100
do have any questions there,

3489
03:09:10,100 --> 03:09:12,100
we'll be glad

3490
03:09:12,100 --> 03:09:14,100
to answer those.

3491
03:09:15,100 --> 03:09:17,100
>> Dr. Anglin, I do have one

3492
03:09:17,100 --> 03:09:19,100
question

3493
03:09:19,100 --> 03:09:21,100
about the expenditures.

3494
03:09:23,100 --> 03:09:24,100
There are just a couple

3495
03:09:24,100 --> 03:09:26,100
of lines that are pretty far

3496
03:09:26,100 --> 03:09:27,100
off of the 75% target in terms

3497
03:09:27,100 --> 03:09:29,100
of money spent, namely the

3498
03:09:29,100 --> 03:09:31,100
learning resources and the

3499
03:09:31,100 --> 03:09:33,100
extension and public service.

3500
03:09:33,100 --> 03:09:36,100
Do you have any rationale

3501
03:09:36,100 --> 03:09:38,100
for why

3502
03:09:39,100 --> 03:09:40,100
those have not yet been

3503
03:09:40,100 --> 03:09:41,100
expended?

3504
03:09:41,100 --> 03:09:43,401
>> On our learning resources,

3505
03:09:44,100 --> 03:09:47,100
those are our libraries. We're

3506
03:09:47,100 --> 03:09:48,100
I think not quite fully staffed

3507
03:09:48,100 --> 03:09:52,100
there and have not spent a lot

3508
03:09:52,100 --> 03:09:55,601
of our budget there. It's the

3509
03:09:57,100 --> 03:09:59,100
learning commons, so it's the

3510
03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:01,100
libraries, tutoring,

3511
03:10:01,100 --> 03:10:02,100
other areas like that.

3512
03:10:02,100 --> 03:10:05,100
>> Not being fully staffed. Has

3513
03:10:07,100 --> 03:10:09,100
that created any issues?

3514
03:10:09,100 --> 03:10:12,601
>> I think I can ask Dr.

3515
03:10:15,100 --> 03:10:16,100
Pearson to address that.

3516
03:10:16,100 --> 03:10:19,100
On staffing in the learning

3517
03:10:19,100 --> 03:10:22,100
commons, it's just kind it's

3518
03:10:22,100 --> 03:10:24,100
just kind of that perpetual.

3519
03:10:24,100 --> 03:10:26,100
>> So tutors

3520
03:10:26,100 --> 03:10:28,100
coming in, tutors going out.

3521
03:10:28,100 --> 03:10:29,100
Our supplemental instructors

3522
03:10:29,100 --> 03:10:31,100
are generally students and so

3523
03:10:31,100 --> 03:10:32,100
they kind of cycle

3524
03:10:32,100 --> 03:10:35,601
in and cycle out. And we

3525
03:10:37,100 --> 03:10:39,100
haven't had as many this year

3526
03:10:39,100 --> 03:10:40,100
as we've had in the past.

3527
03:10:40,100 --> 03:10:41,100
But we're actively trying

3528
03:10:41,100 --> 03:10:42,100
to get them in the door and

3529
03:10:42,100 --> 03:10:43,100
have full staff.

3530
03:10:43,100 --> 03:10:44,100
>> Has that created problems

3531
03:10:44,100 --> 03:10:45,100
though

3532
03:10:45,100 --> 03:10:46,100
from a tutoring standpoint? Is

3533
03:10:46,100 --> 03:10:47,100
there a pent up demand

3534
03:10:47,100 --> 03:10:49,100
for tutors?

3535
03:10:49,100 --> 03:10:50,100
>> No.

3536
03:10:50,100 --> 03:10:51,100
>> Okay, so that could be...

3537
03:10:51,100 --> 03:10:52,100
>> Not that I'm aware of...

3538
03:10:52,100 --> 03:10:54,100
>> I should say. So that could

3539
03:10:54,100 --> 03:10:55,100
be a potential area to review

3540
03:10:55,100 --> 03:10:57,100
what fully staffed should look

3541
03:10:57,100 --> 03:10:58,100
like.

3542
03:10:58,100 --> 03:10:59,100
>> Sure, yeah. And we are

3543
03:10:59,100 --> 03:11:01,100
actually when I met with the

3544
03:11:01,100 --> 03:11:02,100
presidents and other cabinet

3545
03:11:02,100 --> 03:11:04,100
members, we agreed

3546
03:11:04,100 --> 03:11:05,100
to do a number of things. One

3547
03:11:05,100 --> 03:11:08,100
is to review the hours

3548
03:11:09,100 --> 03:11:11,100
of operation for

3549
03:11:11,100 --> 03:11:13,100
those areas. We probably

3550
03:11:13,100 --> 03:11:14,100
need to expand on that based

3551
03:11:14,100 --> 03:11:16,100
on surveys from the students.

3552
03:11:16,100 --> 03:11:17,100
But those are all staffing

3553
03:11:17,100 --> 03:11:19,100
models that take a little bit

3554
03:11:19,100 --> 03:11:21,100
longer than we would like.

3555
03:11:21,100 --> 03:11:23,100
But absolutely we need to look

3556
03:11:23,100 --> 03:11:25,100
at that.

3557
03:11:28,100 --> 03:11:31,601
>> I would say that that's also

3558
03:11:32,100 --> 03:11:35,100
a reason that it is under that

3559
03:11:35,100 --> 03:11:37,100
mark is that we have been

3560
03:11:37,100 --> 03:11:39,100
holding off on some of the

3561
03:11:39,100 --> 03:11:41,100
positions because we are

3562
03:11:41,100 --> 03:11:43,100
reviewing to see what's needed,

3563
03:11:43,100 --> 03:11:45,100
where and what type of

3564
03:11:45,100 --> 03:11:46,100
model we want to pursue

3565
03:11:46,100 --> 03:11:48,100
going forward.

3566
03:11:48,100 --> 03:11:50,401
>> Are there any other

3567
03:11:52,100 --> 03:11:54,100
questions?

3568
03:11:54,100 --> 03:11:56,100
>> I can address

3569
03:11:57,100 --> 03:11:59,100
the extension and public

3570
03:11:59,100 --> 03:12:01,100
service that is our corporate

3571
03:12:01,100 --> 03:12:02,100
solutions is included there and

3572
03:12:02,100 --> 03:12:04,100
our non funded continuing

3573
03:12:04,100 --> 03:12:06,100
education and there is a

3574
03:12:06,100 --> 03:12:08,100
renewed focus

3575
03:12:08,100 --> 03:12:10,401
on building our workload

3576
03:12:12,100 --> 03:12:14,100
in corporate solutions.

3577
03:12:25,100 --> 03:12:26,100
>> If there are no other

3578
03:12:26,100 --> 03:12:28,100
questions. Item 7B, the monthly

3579
03:12:28,100 --> 03:12:29,100
investment report.

3580
03:12:29,100 --> 03:12:32,601
>> In this report will be our

3581
03:12:34,100 --> 03:12:37,100
investment as of the end of

3582
03:12:37,100 --> 03:12:39,100
April. We run a month,

3583
03:12:39,100 --> 03:12:40,100
always actually two months

3584
03:12:40,100 --> 03:12:42,401
from board meeting behind.

3585
03:12:44,100 --> 03:12:47,601
But we'll look at our yield.

3586
03:12:49,100 --> 03:12:53,100
And as of the end of April, our

3587
03:12:53,100 --> 03:12:54,100
core portfolio had an average

3588
03:12:54,100 --> 03:12:56,100
4.14% return. Our pools 4.43%

3589
03:13:02,100 --> 03:13:05,100
and our weighted average total

3590
03:13:06,100 --> 03:13:08,100
portfolio 4.33%. Our total

3591
03:13:11,100 --> 03:13:12,100
earnings were 4,342,185 and our

3592
03:13:12,100 --> 03:13:14,100
accrued interest

3593
03:13:14,100 --> 03:13:16,401
for the month 3,625,364. And

3594
03:13:18,100 --> 03:13:21,100
then when we look down

3595
03:13:23,100 --> 03:13:26,601
at our book value, I noticed

3596
03:13:27,100 --> 03:13:29,100
earlier that I've included the

3597
03:13:29,100 --> 03:13:32,100
market value. Our book value is

3598
03:13:32,100 --> 03:13:34,100
1,186,517,276.

3599
03:13:36,100 --> 03:13:39,100
But our market value, our

3600
03:13:39,100 --> 03:13:41,100
general obligation bond series

3601
03:13:41,100 --> 03:13:43,100
2022 portfolio, we have

3602
03:13:44,100 --> 03:13:46,100
320,974,269. And as we

3603
03:13:47,100 --> 03:13:50,100
continue our work on the

3604
03:13:51,100 --> 03:13:53,100
Northwest campus and the

3605
03:13:53,100 --> 03:13:55,100
southeast campus,

3606
03:13:57,100 --> 03:13:59,401
we're spending that money

3607
03:14:03,100 --> 03:14:06,100
down pretty quickly. A lot

3608
03:14:07,100 --> 03:14:09,100
of money going into finishing

3609
03:14:09,100 --> 03:14:12,100
out those buildings and the

3610
03:14:13,100 --> 03:14:15,401
renovation on the campuses.

3611
03:14:16,100 --> 03:14:18,401
And Then core portfolio,

3612
03:14:19,100 --> 03:14:21,100
363,425,249. The core

3613
03:14:21,100 --> 03:14:23,100
portfolio, portfolio liquidity

3614
03:14:23,100 --> 03:14:25,100
buffer, 53,472,886. Our

3615
03:14:26,100 --> 03:14:27,100
investment pools are

3616
03:14:27,100 --> 03:14:29,100
467,019,245. And our total

3617
03:14:29,100 --> 03:14:30,100
portfolio market

3618
03:14:30,100 --> 03:14:31,100
value is 1,222,987.59. Then

3619
03:14:31,100 --> 03:14:33,401
the breakdown by sector,

3620
03:14:38,100 --> 03:14:40,100
the distribution

3621
03:14:42,100 --> 03:14:45,100
of our funds, 29% of it is in

3622
03:14:45,100 --> 03:14:47,100
U.S. treasuries, 40%

3623
03:14:48,100 --> 03:14:50,100
in investment pools. Corporate

3624
03:14:50,100 --> 03:14:52,100
bonds are 9.5%.

3625
03:14:53,100 --> 03:14:55,100
In federal agency securities,

3626
03:14:55,100 --> 03:14:57,100
5.5%. Cash and equivalents,

3627
03:14:57,100 --> 03:14:59,401
13% and other, 2.45%. So that

3628
03:15:00,100 --> 03:15:02,100
is our investment report

3629
03:15:02,100 --> 03:15:05,100
for the month of April.

3630
03:15:05,100 --> 03:15:07,401
>> Are there any questions

3631
03:15:09,100 --> 03:15:11,401
about the investment report?

3632
03:15:13,100 --> 03:15:14,100
Thank you, Dr. Anglin.

3633
03:15:14,100 --> 03:15:16,100
>> Thank you.

3634
03:15:20,100 --> 03:15:22,100
>> Oh, Ms. Locke.

3635
03:15:24,100 --> 03:15:26,100
>> It's in a money

3636
03:15:26,100 --> 03:15:28,100
market.

3637
03:15:44,100 --> 03:15:46,100
>> Thank you, Dr. Anglin.

3638
03:15:46,100 --> 03:15:48,100
Chancellor LeBlanc.

3639
03:15:52,100 --> 03:15:53,100
>> Over here. So thank you. I

3640
03:15:53,100 --> 03:15:55,401
have a special Chancellor's

3641
03:15:56,100 --> 03:15:58,100
report, efforts

3642
03:15:58,100 --> 03:16:00,100
to support victims of human

3643
03:16:00,100 --> 03:16:02,100
trafficking and promote

3644
03:16:05,100 --> 03:16:06,100
community education. So I'm

3645
03:16:06,100 --> 03:16:08,100
asking Dr. Pearson

3646
03:16:08,100 --> 03:16:10,100
to give that report. You have

3647
03:16:10,100 --> 03:16:11,100
the executive summary

3648
03:16:11,100 --> 03:16:14,100
in your packet that you

3649
03:16:15,100 --> 03:16:17,100
received on Friday?

3650
03:16:19,100 --> 03:16:21,100
>> Yes, we do have that.

3651
03:16:21,100 --> 03:16:22,100
>> Making sure. So, Shelly

3652
03:16:22,100 --> 03:16:24,100
Pearson, Vice Chancellor and

3653
03:16:24,100 --> 03:16:26,100
Provost. I'm happy to join and

3654
03:16:26,100 --> 03:16:29,100
give a brief overview of some

3655
03:16:29,100 --> 03:16:30,100
of the work that we've been

3656
03:16:30,100 --> 03:16:32,100
doing around the human

3657
03:16:32,100 --> 03:16:34,100
trafficking and education

3658
03:16:35,100 --> 03:16:38,100
program and efforts. So what

3659
03:16:38,100 --> 03:16:39,100
you have is an executive

3660
03:16:39,100 --> 03:16:40,100
summary document. So we did

3661
03:16:40,100 --> 03:16:41,100
have an event in April. We had

3662
03:16:41,100 --> 03:16:42,100
a breakfast, and thank you

3663
03:16:42,100 --> 03:16:43,100
for Trustee Pritchett

3664
03:16:43,100 --> 03:16:45,100
for supporting that with us.

3665
03:16:45,100 --> 03:16:47,100
There's some great pictures,

3666
03:16:47,100 --> 03:16:48,100
and we talked about it

3667
03:16:48,100 --> 03:16:49,100
previously where we had

3668
03:16:49,100 --> 03:16:51,100
community members, we had our

3669
03:16:51,100 --> 03:16:52,100
presidents, vice presidents,

3670
03:16:52,100 --> 03:16:54,100
some of our district staff come

3671
03:16:54,100 --> 03:16:55,100
together and have discussions

3672
03:16:55,100 --> 03:16:57,401
with survivors and again,

3673
03:16:58,100 --> 03:16:59,100
other community partners

3674
03:16:59,100 --> 03:17:01,401
on essentially where we

3675
03:17:04,100 --> 03:17:06,100
as a college and some of the

3676
03:17:06,100 --> 03:17:07,100
things that we could be doing

3677
03:17:07,100 --> 03:17:10,100
and potential future plans. So

3678
03:17:10,100 --> 03:17:13,601
I know that our student affairs

3679
03:17:14,100 --> 03:17:15,100
folks are very active

3680
03:17:15,100 --> 03:17:18,100
on the communities. I'm sorry,

3681
03:17:19,100 --> 03:17:21,100
on the campuses. So one of the

3682
03:17:21,100 --> 03:17:23,100
first things we did was go back

3683
03:17:23,100 --> 03:17:25,100
and let's look and see, you

3684
03:17:25,100 --> 03:17:26,100
know, what are we doing. And so

3685
03:17:26,100 --> 03:17:27,100
that's where this executive

3686
03:17:27,100 --> 03:17:28,100
summary came about. Our vice

3687
03:17:28,100 --> 03:17:30,401
presidents for student affairs

3688
03:17:31,100 --> 03:17:32,100
along

3689
03:17:32,100 --> 03:17:33,100
with our district director

3690
03:17:33,100 --> 03:17:35,100
for Student affairs compiled

3691
03:17:35,100 --> 03:17:36,100
some of the work that we're

3692
03:17:36,100 --> 03:17:38,100
already doing. So I just wanted

3693
03:17:38,100 --> 03:17:40,100
to hit a few

3694
03:17:40,100 --> 03:17:41,100
of the highlights. We have been

3695
03:17:41,100 --> 03:17:43,100
really involved

3696
03:17:44,100 --> 03:17:45,100
with this work actually since

3697
03:17:45,100 --> 03:17:47,100
2020 building those

3698
03:17:47,100 --> 03:17:49,100
comprehensive campus wide

3699
03:17:49,100 --> 03:17:51,100
programming. You'll see some

3700
03:17:51,100 --> 03:17:54,100
of the activities with the

3701
03:17:56,100 --> 03:17:57,100
January as the National

3702
03:17:57,100 --> 03:17:59,401
Awareness Month. You'll see

3703
03:18:00,100 --> 03:18:02,100
some

3704
03:18:02,100 --> 03:18:03,100
of the activities appearing

3705
03:18:03,100 --> 03:18:05,100
on the campuses during January

3706
03:18:05,100 --> 03:18:07,100
a little bit into February.

3707
03:18:07,100 --> 03:18:09,100
Table events, information

3708
03:18:09,100 --> 03:18:10,100
sessions, panel discussions.

3709
03:18:10,100 --> 03:18:12,100
So there. And as the picture

3710
03:18:12,100 --> 03:18:14,100
shows, there's a couple

3711
03:18:14,100 --> 03:18:16,100
of always happening tables

3712
03:18:16,100 --> 03:18:17,100
with this type

3713
03:18:17,100 --> 03:18:19,100
of information. So I also

3714
03:18:19,100 --> 03:18:20,100
wanted to highlight some

3715
03:18:20,100 --> 03:18:23,100
of the materials that you see.

3716
03:18:23,100 --> 03:18:24,100
Those are materials that are

3717
03:18:24,100 --> 03:18:26,100
used out with our different

3718
03:18:26,100 --> 03:18:28,100
events as well. So we do have a

3719
03:18:28,100 --> 03:18:30,100
robust ongoing program. What

3720
03:18:30,100 --> 03:18:31,100
I'm excited

3721
03:18:31,100 --> 03:18:33,100
about and actually this is kind

3722
03:18:33,100 --> 03:18:35,100
of fortuitous, the grant gods

3723
03:18:35,100 --> 03:18:37,100
and our fabulous grant team

3724
03:18:37,100 --> 03:18:40,100
found a. Well, not found

3725
03:18:42,100 --> 03:18:45,100
but recently in May there was a

3726
03:18:45,100 --> 03:18:48,100
announcement for the U.S.

3727
03:18:48,100 --> 03:18:50,401
department of Justice Office

3728
03:18:51,100 --> 03:18:53,100
on Violence Against Women

3729
03:18:53,100 --> 03:18:56,100
Federal grant. So they gave a

3730
03:18:56,100 --> 03:18:58,100
an RFP essentially. And so we

3731
03:18:58,100 --> 03:19:00,100
have all

3732
03:19:00,100 --> 03:19:03,100
of this documentation. So we

3733
03:19:07,100 --> 03:19:09,100
were really poised

3734
03:19:09,100 --> 03:19:10,100
to have that ability to put

3735
03:19:10,100 --> 03:19:12,100
forward a strong application.

3736
03:19:12,100 --> 03:19:14,100
And what this does is it awards

3737
03:19:14,100 --> 03:19:16,100
between 500 and 700,000

3738
03:19:16,100 --> 03:19:17,100
over three years. It's designed

3739
03:19:17,100 --> 03:19:19,100
to bolster supports

3740
03:19:19,100 --> 03:19:20,100
for students. Also training.

3741
03:19:20,100 --> 03:19:23,100
We've talked a lot about trauma

3742
03:19:23,100 --> 03:19:25,401
centered training and really

3743
03:19:27,100 --> 03:19:29,100
working

3744
03:19:31,100 --> 03:19:33,100
with our staff that work

3745
03:19:33,100 --> 03:19:34,100
with students

3746
03:19:34,100 --> 03:19:36,100
to identify some. So this grant

3747
03:19:36,100 --> 03:19:37,100
would be useful for that. So we

3748
03:19:37,100 --> 03:19:39,100
hope to. Well, it's due next

3749
03:19:39,100 --> 03:19:41,100
week I believe and we should

3750
03:19:41,100 --> 03:19:44,100
know by October. So very

3751
03:19:44,100 --> 03:19:46,100
excited that that just kind

3752
03:19:46,100 --> 03:19:48,100
of came

3753
03:19:48,100 --> 03:19:49,100
along right as we were looking

3754
03:19:49,100 --> 03:19:51,100
at what we were planning to do

3755
03:19:51,100 --> 03:19:53,100
for the next phase

3756
03:19:53,100 --> 03:19:54,100
of this program. We also want

3757
03:19:54,100 --> 03:19:56,100
to address back to the

3758
03:19:56,100 --> 03:19:57,100
education and the programming

3759
03:19:57,100 --> 03:19:59,100
piece. This grants more

3760
03:19:59,100 --> 03:20:00,100
supports. And so our next phase

3761
03:20:00,100 --> 03:20:02,100
on the other part is looking

3762
03:20:02,100 --> 03:20:04,100
at what type

3763
03:20:04,100 --> 03:20:05,100
of programming and how we go

3764
03:20:05,100 --> 03:20:07,100
about the Education Pathways

3765
03:20:07,100 --> 03:20:10,601
piece. So that's what I have.

3766
03:20:13,100 --> 03:20:16,601
>> Can I make a comment? When

3767
03:20:19,100 --> 03:20:21,100
you have these events, would

3768
03:20:21,100 --> 03:20:23,100
you mind sending us a memo so

3769
03:20:23,100 --> 03:20:24,100
that if we're able we could

3770
03:20:24,100 --> 03:20:26,100
come to some

3771
03:20:26,100 --> 03:20:27,100
of those events?

3772
03:20:27,100 --> 03:20:28,100
>> Sure.

3773
03:20:28,100 --> 03:20:30,100
>> Thank you.

3774
03:20:31,100 --> 03:20:33,100
>> Very nice. Thank you, Dr.

3775
03:20:33,100 --> 03:20:35,100
Pearson. We continuously have

3776
03:20:35,100 --> 03:20:38,100
events for our students and the

3777
03:20:38,100 --> 03:20:39,100
community. This is one example

3778
03:20:39,100 --> 03:20:42,601
of many. On any given day

3779
03:20:43,100 --> 03:20:45,401
there's always something going

3780
03:20:48,100 --> 03:20:52,201
on on every campus. And you see

3781
03:20:53,100 --> 03:20:56,100
in your packets I'm always

3782
03:20:57,100 --> 03:20:59,100
including activities and campus

3783
03:20:59,100 --> 03:21:02,100
accolades. And that's just a

3784
03:21:02,100 --> 03:21:04,100
snapshot picture of all the

3785
03:21:04,100 --> 03:21:06,100
things that are taking place

3786
03:21:06,100 --> 03:21:09,100
on the campuses. So if the

3787
03:21:09,100 --> 03:21:11,401
presidents and vice presidents

3788
03:21:12,100 --> 03:21:14,100
look a little fatigued.

3789
03:21:14,100 --> 03:21:16,100
They're busy people.

3790
03:21:16,100 --> 03:21:18,100
Constantly having

3791
03:21:20,100 --> 03:21:22,401
events and finding ways

3792
03:21:23,100 --> 03:21:25,100
to serve the students. Yes.

3793
03:21:25,100 --> 03:21:27,401
>> Thank you very much

3794
03:21:28,100 --> 03:21:29,100
for that executive summary.

3795
03:21:29,100 --> 03:21:31,100
Sounds like some great work

3796
03:21:31,100 --> 03:21:33,100
that has been done and

3797
03:21:33,100 --> 03:21:34,100
continues to be done. And so I

3798
03:21:34,100 --> 03:21:36,100
look forward to hearing more

3799
03:21:36,100 --> 03:21:38,401
about the programmatic aspect

3800
03:21:39,100 --> 03:21:40,100
of the educational pathway. So

3801
03:21:40,100 --> 03:21:42,100
thank you very much

3802
03:21:42,100 --> 03:21:43,100
for the work that you're

3803
03:21:43,100 --> 03:21:45,100
putting into this.

3804
03:21:45,100 --> 03:21:47,100
Very meaningful.

3805
03:21:48,100 --> 03:21:49,100
>> We appreciate the board's

3806
03:21:49,100 --> 03:21:51,100
support. Trustee Pritchett,

3807
03:21:52,100 --> 03:21:53,100
thank you for the support

3808
03:21:53,100 --> 03:21:55,100
on this endeavor. Very good.

3809
03:21:55,100 --> 03:21:57,401
>> This is a friendly

3810
03:21:59,100 --> 03:22:01,100
reminder that there is a budget

3811
03:22:01,100 --> 03:22:03,100
workshop on August 7. We do not

3812
03:22:03,100 --> 03:22:06,601
have a board meeting in July,

3813
03:22:07,100 --> 03:22:08,100
but we have many opportunities

3814
03:22:08,100 --> 03:22:12,201
in August to make up for the

3815
03:22:14,100 --> 03:22:16,100
fact that you're not meeting

3816
03:22:16,100 --> 03:22:19,100
in July. And the first

3817
03:22:19,100 --> 03:22:21,100
opportunity is August 7th

3818
03:22:21,100 --> 03:22:23,401
budget workshop. So everybody's

3819
03:22:24,100 --> 03:22:25,100
working diligently to bring up

3820
03:22:25,100 --> 03:22:28,100
to date information for you

3821
03:22:29,100 --> 03:22:31,100
to make some decisions at the

3822
03:22:31,100 --> 03:22:34,100
August board meeting. We have

3823
03:22:34,100 --> 03:22:38,201
quite a bit going on there and

3824
03:22:39,100 --> 03:22:41,100
basically you can see that

3825
03:22:41,100 --> 03:22:44,601
people are very busy and our

3826
03:22:45,100 --> 03:22:48,100
students are doing amazing. So

3827
03:22:49,100 --> 03:22:50,100
thank each and every one

3828
03:22:50,100 --> 03:22:53,100
of you for your support.

3829
03:22:55,100 --> 03:22:56,100
>> Thank you, Dr. LeBlanc. We

3830
03:22:56,100 --> 03:22:57,100
have no additional action items

3831
03:22:57,100 --> 03:23:00,100
on closed session items, unless

3832
03:23:02,100 --> 03:23:04,100
there are any announcements or

3833
03:23:04,100 --> 03:23:05,100
further discussion,

3834
03:23:05,100 --> 03:23:06,100
we will adjourn this meeting

3835
03:23:06,100 --> 03:23:08,100
at 9:14 and we'll see everyone

3836
03:23:08,100 --> 03:23:10,100
in August.
